minister stressed her belief he was committed to advancing the \"special relationship\" with the UK.\n\nBut Mrs May told the Financial Times she expects \"very frank\" talks on areas where their opinions seem to differ such as the EU and Nato.\n\nThe PM said she hoped for early progress on a US-UK trade agreement.\n\nMrs May said she believed Mr Trump \"recognises the importance and significance of Nato\", despite him being quoted earlier in the week as describing the military alliance as \"obsolete\".\n\n\"I'm also confident the USA will recognise the importance of the co-operation we have in Europe to ensure our collective defence and collective security,\" she told the FT.\n\nMr Trump also said recently he did not really care if the EU separated.\n\nMrs May, who this week outlined for the first time her plan for Brexit, said: \"The decision taken by the UK was not a decision about breaking up the EU.\n\n\"I want the EU to continue to be strong and I want to continue to have a close and strategic partnership with the EU. It is important for security issues. With the threats we face it's not the time for less co-operation.\"\n\nMr Trump was sworn-in as the 45th US president on Friday.\n\nIn a statement issued after the inauguration, Mrs May said: \"From our conversations to date, I know we are both committed to advancing the special relationship between our two countries and working together for the prosperity and security of people on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\n\"I look forward to discussing these issues and more when we meet in Washington.\"\n\nIn her FT interview, Mrs May said she was \"confident we can look at areas even in advance of being able to sign a formal trade deal\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"We will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come\", Donald Trump said\n\nBut despite Mr Trump's indication he backed a quick post-Brexit trade deal, there was a heavily protectionist tone in the inauguration speech.\n\nSome Labour MPs questioned how the prime minister's aim of a free trade deal with the US would be possible given the \"America first\" strategy outlined by Mr Trump.\n\nDavid Lammy tweeted: \"Every decision on trade will be made to benefit Americans. Hmm - looking forward to this trade deal, then.\"\n\nChris Bryant said: \"I'm not sure a UK trade deal with Trump will be very mutually beneficial.\"\n\nHowever, speaking to the BBC in Myanmar, also known as Burma, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said there was every reason to \"be positive and optimistic\" about a trade deal.\n\n\"I think the new president has made it very clear that he wants to put Britain at the front of the line... and obviously that's extremely exciting and important\".\n\nEarlier Mr Johnson offered his own \"warmest congratulations\" to Mr Trump.\n\nHe said the UK would \"work hand in glove for the stability, the prosperity and the security of the world\".\n\nMeanwhile, Thousands of women are expected to join a march in London later as part of an international protest campaign on the first full day of Mr Trump's presidency.\n\nMr Trump has appeared to make good on a pledge to return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to the White House's Oval Office.\n\nThe bust of Sir Winston Churchill can be seen on the far left as Mr Trump prepares to sign his first orders in the Oval Office\n\nThe sculpture of the World War Two prime minister's face is said to be a replica of one given to President Lyndon B Johnson in the 1960s and first appeared in the Oval Office during George W Bush's administration in 2001.\n\nIt was replaced by a bust of civil rights champion Martin Luther King Jr during Barack Obama's presidency.\n\nThe presence of the Churchill bust was noticed as Mr Trump signed his first orders as president.\n\nA report that the bust of Dr King no longer remained in the Oval Office was later found to be discredited.", "Donald Trump has been sworn in as president, after running a divisive campaign\n\nThe rarefied environs of a Davos cocktail party may not, at first, seem like the ideal place to teach people to understand those with whom they disagree.\n\nBut Peter Salovey thinks there is no better place to preach the gospel of empathy.\n\nAs president of Yale, he has direct access to the university's distinguished alumni. Some, such as Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman and Chinese billionaire Zhang Lei, are the very epitome of the so-called global elites against whom there has been somewhat of a populist backlash in the past year.\n\nProf Salovey comes to the World Economic Forum with a message.\n\nHe says the business leaders in Davos would do well to understand the ordinary men and women behind populist uprisings, such as the one in his own country, which culminated on Friday with the inauguration as President of such an unlikely candidate as Donald Trump.\n\n\"We live in a complex world, a world where our fellow citizens are telling us that they feel left out,\" says the convivial psychology professor.\n\nIn such times, he adds, reaching across cultural, political and economic divides is more important than ever, and Prof Salovey thinks he knows how to help Davos delegates do just that.\n\nProf Salovey says the Davos elite must try to understand what has driven populist uprisings\n\n\"How does one learn how to listen, how does one learn how to think critically, how does one learn how to communicate? And how does one learn to develop emotional intelligence, the ability to empathise with another person?\"\n\nThe answer, he says, lies in education - in particular, the humanities.\n\nTo that end, the function room at the Belvedere Hotel in which Yale's annual reception is held features some rather novel exhibits, at least for a forum mostly dedicated to dealing with the immediate present.\n\nIn conjunction with the Smithsonian, delegates can explore some of the world's most endangered languages by watching interactive videos of their last remaining native speakers, or flick through an archive of pictures displaying ordinary Americans at work in factories and farms - taken for propaganda purposes at the behest of Franklin D Roosevelt, in order to highlight the success of his New Deal.\n\nPerusing such artefacts, says Prof Salovey, can help the gathered Davos crowd grapple with complex problems such us: \"What are the fundamental problems that humans have grappled with for millennia? What are ways in which we share a common humanity?\"\n\nDavos delegates at Yale's annual reception can look through old photographs to try to learn from the past\n\nHe says people do feel that they have worked hard and paid their dues, and yet still they feel downwardly mobile. \"That's not the American dream,\" he adds.\n\nOne person who understands the American dream all too well is Lonnie Bunch, the founding director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which was opened to great fanfare by President Obama in Washington just a few months ago.\n\nPresident Obama, pictured here with Lonnie Bunch at a reception at the White House a day before opening the NMAAHC\n\nSince then, nearly a million people have wandered through its doors, and encountered one of America's darkest moments, in slavery, and one of its greatest strengths, in the huge contributions of African Americans to the country's cultural makeup.\n\n\"I think it is crucially important in the times we are living in to be able to give people a sense of hope and possibility, but to also help them understand that despite how bad you may think things are, they were once worse, and people struggled to improve, across racial lines,\" says Mr Bunch.\n\nAddressing the assembled businessmen and women, he says: \"You can't be a good businessman without understanding the societal issues that have shaped the moment you are in.\n\n\"Businessmen always forecast what they think is the next trend. Part of that comes from understanding the past.\n\n\"What we want is not only for people to understand the past but also to bring those skills of the humanities - critical thinking, nuance, ambiguity - to basically be able to be nimble, to wrestle with a variety of issues, not just have a single point of view.\"\n\nHowever, Mr Bunch stresses, \"change doesn't happen without struggle, without sacrifice.\"\n\nAlluding to the incoming US administration, the historian says that it is \"incumbent upon all who enter the museum to be an activist, to help make America better\".\n\nMr Bunch has been director of the Smithsonian Institution's NMAAHC since 2005\n\nFor his part, Prof Salovey is committed to defending the values of educational institutions such as Yale, not just as bastions of free expression, but also as havens for diversity.\n\n\"We believe that the most stimulating educational environment that we could create comes when we have a wonderful mix of the world on our campus,\" he says, in a thinly veiled broadside at Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric.\n\n\"We have policies on campus who support students called 'Dreamers', who came to the US as children, but perhaps their parents were not documented.\n\n\"We support DACA, the act that gives a status to people whose immigration status may be ambiguous, or undocumented.\"\n\nProf Salovey cites his own family heritage - his grandparents, he says, were uneducated immigrants and education lifted their children out of poverty.\n\nThis, he says, is the American value he most wants to protect.\n\n\"We want to educate the world,\" he emphasises.\n\n\"I'm not willing to give up on that, and I will advocate as vigorously as I know how, to continue that tradition in all of our institutions of higher learning.\"", "Barack Obama spent his last day in the White House and as the 44th president of the United States.\n\nHe received his successor, Donald Trump, at the White House in the morning and boarded Air Force One one final time in the early afternoon to go spend some time in California.", "President Obama may have been out of office for only one day, but it was enough for this woman to express her loss in London", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nBBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson will be making a prediction for all 380 Premier League games this season against a variety of guests.\n\nLawro's opponent for this week's Premier League fixtures is actor James McAvoy, star of new film 'Split'.\n\nMcAvoy is a Celtic fan and says he grew up supporting them for many reasons.\n\n\"I think your choice of football club quite often is not your choice,\" he told BBC Sport. \"It is thrust upon you by your family, wherever you grew up, or sometimes even your religion, so it is a kind of environmental thing that you just soak up.\n\n\"That is why I am a Celtic fan but why I enjoy being a Celtic fan is different and I have much more power over that.\n\n\"In London, I keep an eye on Arsenal but I am not really an Arsenal fan. I am more of a plastic Gooner just because I used to live two doors away from the East Stand when they played at Highbury.\n\n\"That was amazing. When I couldn't get tickets, which was quite often, I would be able to watch the game on TV, open the windows and turn the sound down, and just have the roar of the crowd in the background.\"\n\nYou can make your Premier League predictions now, compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.\n\nA correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.\n\nLast week, Lawro got four correct results, including one perfect score, from 10 Premier League matches.

With his inauguration speech, he's already set the tone.\n\nEarlier this week, Trump posted a photo of himself sitting at a desk at Mar-a-Largo, a permanent marker hovering over a notepad.\n\n\"Writing my inaugural address at the Winter White House, Mar-a-Lago, three weeks ago. Looking forward to Friday,\" he tweeted.\n\nIt's unclear whether the president-elect actually wrote the speech himself, but the content was pure Trump: the same populist message that resonated throughout the primaries and the campaign.\n\n\"Today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the people,\" he said at the beginning of his remarks.\n\nFor some on Twitter, it bore an eerie similarity to the Batman villain Bane's speech in The Dark Night Rises, so much so that someone posted a 10-second mash-up of the two.\n\nBut such snarky reactions, warned Fox News commentator Guy Benson, underestimate how popular his rhetoric is with Trump supporters.\n\n\"People panning the speech still don't seem to understand how resonant the 'I will never ignore you' theme has been, and still is,\" he wrote, referencing Trump's many callouts to those who feel left out of American progress.\n\nTrump spoke of a country whose citizens had too long been ignored by the coastal elite: \"Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.\"\n\nHe painted a picture of a broken and damaged country, dotted with rusting-out factories \"like tombstones\", city streets plagued with \"crime and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives,\" and the wealth of the middle class \"ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world\".\n\nIt was an unusually bleak speech for an inaugural address.\n\nAccording to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, the speech was not intended to follow tradition: \"Donald Trump's speech was not an inaugural address. It was a primal scream aimed at Washington, DC.\"\n\nAuthor Hugh Hewitt called it \"authentic, determined, almost grim\". He wrote, \"I expected more joy, but it cannot be said that POTUS @realDonaldTrump said anything he hasn't said before. He has a plan and it's going to roll out fast.\"\n\nOthers were sceptical of the breadth of those plans. Trump said the country was poised to \"free the earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow\", as well as \"eradicate from the face of the Earth\" radical Islamic terrorism.\n\nWriter Ben Shapiro expressed doubt about Trump's plans to both take power away from DC, and use his position as President to steer trade and create jobs.\n\n\"These cannot both be true,\" he wrote.\n\nMany also noted that it's easy to campaign as an outsider, railing about America's problems, but harder to lead, when one must find solutions.\n\n\"After three months in which Trump is president and it's still the same Washington, that speech is going to seem wildly imprudent,\" wrote Noah Rothman, assistant editor at Commentary Magazine.\n\nCommentator Mary Katherine Hahn thinks voters aren't interested in sweeping rhetoric. \"I am unabashedly ideological. The country is not. His message is populist & popular. His opponents dismiss that at their political peril.\"\n\nPollster Frank Luntz said President Trump seemed to pivot, if not in tone then at least in substance: \"President Trump's inaugural speech was the best delivery I've ever seen from him.\"\n\nA more well-known conservative kept mum on his opinion. When the Washington Post asked George W Bush what he thought of the speech, he merely replied, \"Good to see you.\"\n\nOne high-profile Twitter user was an unabashed fan. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke tweeted multiple times in favour of Trump's speech.", "President Trump's first tweet on the @POTUS account showed this image\n\nMuch is written about the Herculean effort to move one family out of the White House and a new family in within the space of just a few hours.\n\nBut in our modern age, the digital moving trucks must also roar into action, as prime presidential online real estate gets a makeover, and eight years of President Obama's social media chat is confined to the national archives.\n\nLet’s start with WhiteHouse.gov, the official website for the President, which as of noon Friday, has a brand new look - and has already provoked mild panic.\n\nMany noted that pages about climate change were swiftly deleted. So too were pages about LGBT rights and various science policies.\n\nBut, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Pages about everything were deleted as what was essentially Obama’s homepage was replaced with Trump’s.\n\nThat means posts about any former policy positions no longer exist on the White House website if you follow the original links.\n\nSo while the web address pointing to the White House’s position on climate change no longer works, the same can be said about Obama’s pages relating to the economy. Unpredictable as he is, no-one is suggesting Donald Trump is about to describe “money” as a hoax.\n\nThat said, on the new whitehouse.gov, a search for “military” will yield 154 results. “Climate change”? None.\n\nNervous internet sleuths have found one reference to climate change, a promise to lift the \"harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rules\".\n\nMake of that what you will. People on Twitter certainly are.\n\nAlso wiped clean was the White House's petition website. On Friday, by 4pm in DC, only two petitions were posted on the site. The first demanded the release of the President's tax returns. The other demanded he put his businesses in a blind trust. If either petition gets 100,000 signatures, the White House has to provide a response - at least, that was the rule the previous administration set itself.\n\nTrump reportedly gave up his cell phone upon assuming the presidency\n\nSpeaking of which, it’s all change on Twitter too.\n\nFrom today @POTUS - President of the United States - has been taken over by the Trump team. All previous tweets from Obama’s team - and Obama himself - have been deleted from that account, but archived under @POTUS44. The 44 relating of course to the fact Obama was the 44th US President.\n\nThe tweets were not, as a smattering of people blurted out, “deleted by Trump” once he had control of the account.\n\nTwitter removed them - and that's because scrubbing the account of Obama’s tweets is a smart move for everyone involved. Had Twitter left the old tweets in place you’ll find yourself seeing people retweeting Obama’s words but with Trump’s identity attached, a recipe for misinformation disaster.\n\nTrump’s first tweet on @POTUS posted a picture and a link to his inaugural address - the full text of which was posted on Facebook. Is Trump having a change of heart over his social network of choice?\n\nMaybe. Facebook certainly offers the chance to speak more clearly at length, and, as the leader of the free world, it would be more useful to post to an audience of almost two billion rather than Twitter’s rather limited 300m.\n\nWe won’t know for sure until about 3am, DC time, tomorrow morning. Everyone will be surely waiting for those twilight hours to see if the President springs back into life posting his thoughts on his own personal account, @realDonaldTrump.\n\nFollow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook", "Tamil actress Trisha Krishnan deleted her Twitter account as a result of a row over bull-taming\n\nA ban on the ancient practice of bull-taming has spurred thousands to protest in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. While the demonstrations have been mostly peaceful, the argument over the festival has turned ugly online.\n\nThis week around 4,000 protesters camped out on a beach in the state's capital, Chennai (Madras) - with hundreds more gathering in other parts of the state.\n\nThe crowd, who are mostly students, are against India's ban on Jallikattu, a 2,000 year old bull-taming tradition, which takes place as part of an annual harvest festival.\n\nBull-taming involves men chasing and removing prizes tied to the bull's horns. Animal rights activists argue it's abusive and results in mistreatment of the animals, but protesters contend the practice central to Tamil identity and that the bulls are rarely harmed or killed.\n\nThe men participating in Jallikattu attempt to grab prizes attached to the bull's horns\n\nJallikattu was banned by India's supreme court in 2014, a ruling that was upheld in 2016. The lawsuit that led to the ban was filed by animal rights groups including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). And as protests against the ban have spread, PETA activists and supporters have found themselves targeted on social media.\n\n\"I have been threatened with rape I'm called all sorts of names which I can't repeat,\" says Poorva Joshipura, CEO of PETA India.\n\n\"The general public are being incited and influenced through lies and online bullying and fake news which has unfortunately become so common in our world today,\" Joshipura tells BBC Trending radio.\n\nShe takes particular issue with memes containing false personal information which have been shared online.\n\n\"One is a picture of me wearing my vegan boots (footwear made without leather or any animal ingredients), boots that I really like a lot. The meme falsely says that the boots are made of leather,\" Joshipura says. \"I have been campaigning against the leather industry for years.\"\n\nHear more on this story on the BBC World Service.\n\nThe Indian film actress Trisha Krishnan has also been caught up in the debate. In 2010, Krishnan worked on a PETA campaign. Reports on social media suggested that she had tweeted, and then deleted, her support of a Jallikattu ban.\n\nOne of the social media posts spreading about the actress was a fake obituary claiming she had died of HIV.\n\nThe faked obituary poster of Trisha Krishnan lists cause of death as \"HIV affected\" - insinuating that the actress is sexually promiscuous. It also calls her father a \"poramboku\" (wastrel) and her mother a \"peethasirukki\" (boastful woman).\n\nIn response, Krishnan first denied that she supported the ban and later deactivated her Twitter account, releasing a statement saying: \"I'm a proud Tamilian by birth and I believe and respect the Tamil culture and tradition and I will never go against the sentiments of my own people who have been instrumental in my growth and stature.\"\n\nKrishnan declined a request by BBC Trending for an interview. Her spokesperson told us that \"PETA and Trisha are separate\", stressing that the actress had only collaborated with the group on one campaign.\n\nBull tamers must hold on to the animal's hump for about 15-20 metres or three jumps of the bull to win a prize\n\nKrishnan wasn't the only high profile person targeted on social media. The actor Vishal also received online backlash for being a supporter of PETA, and subsequently deactivated his Twitter profile.\n\nFalse allegations that the PETA India CEO Poorva Joshipura wears leather boots have been circulating online\n\nThe pictures and rumours have been spread by groups such as Chennai Memes, a politically active viral marketing agency which made up the leather boots rumour about Poorva Joshipura.\n\nGautam Govindaram, one of the founders of Chennai Memes, defended the group's decision in creating the meme, telling BBC Trending: \"I'm sure she has at least one product that is made of leather. She can't say that she has never used any product in her lifetime that has not been made of leather. I can be 100% sure I mean if she's born and she's one year old or two years old she must have come across with something made of leather.\"\n\nOperating primarily on Facebook, Chennai Memes create around 20 memes a day, often referencing local and national political and social issues.\n\nThe group were cited by local media as being key to galvanising and mobilising the youth-led protests over the Jallikattu ban - creating shareable posters and spreading information on dates and timings of events through their Facebook page, which has more than 600,000 fans.\n\nGovindaram added that the group was not behind the memes targeting the actress Trisha Krishnan.\n\n\"It's not exactly only us, it's the entire people here in the state of Tamil Nadu who are making a stand,\" he says. \"Why should an organisation from another country come here, tell us about our traditions and why do they have the government of India in the palm of their hand?\"\n\nA number of villages in Tamil Nadu are reported to have defied the Jallikattu ban and held bull-taming events this week. And other prominent South Indian film stars, like Rajinikant and Kamal Haasan, have expressed their support of the sport.\n\nNext story: The Instagram star who cuts Michelle Obama's hair\n\nJohnny Wright has several celebrity clients but perhaps none is as famous as the former First Lady.

But will this contest go any way to uniting a Left bitterly divided by five years in power, and a president too unpopular to seek a second term?\n\nWith the tide out, the muddy inlet of Saint-Brieuc seems to sleep in the watery afternoon sun. Its shore deserted but for two Portuguese men picking their way along the sand, looking for worms.\n\nThe northern coast of Brittany has until recently been a staunch Socialist area\n\nAbove them, a small, green-topped lighthouse sits on the rocks, and basking in the wan sunlight at its foot is a local pensioner, Patrick Labbe.\n\n\"This is a left-wing stronghold,\" Patrick told me. \"But that's less and less the case. The Socialist Party has been a disaster on social issues - just look around Saint-Brieuc and you'll see so much destitution.\"\n\nSaint-Brieuc sits on the northern coast of Brittany; one of the most reliably Socialist regions in France, and a source of support for left-wing candidates seeking to win the first round of the primary contest on 22 January.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nBut Patrick says attitudes are changing: \"I voted for [President] Hollande, and like a lot of French I'm disappointed.\"\n\n\"The Socialist Party will struggle to pick itself up. There's a lot of abstention. People are turning to the extremes, in particular Marine Le Pen. Those who are really disappointed want a big change.\"\n\nSparking interest in this primary is seen as crucial to reviving the chances of France's governing party, and uniting a scattered field of candidates on the left.\n\nAs Patrick Labbe headed home on his bicycle, Manuel Valls was arriving at a local factory a few kilometres away, to drum up some support.\n\nPeering into the cabs of armoured cars, as men in blue overalls applied the finishing seals, Mr Valls seemed as coolly polite as the atmosphere itself, the workers barely glancing up as their former prime minister passed by.\n\nManuel Valls (R) is currently favourite but Arnaud Montebourg (L) is seen as one of his two main challengers\n\nMr Valls is the favourite to win the left-wing nomination - seen as more authoritative and experienced, according to one poll, if a little remote.\n\nBut after serving as prime minister to France's least popular post-war president, and forcing through some of the government's most hated liberal reforms, his challenge has been to reinvent himself as a unifier of the Left.\n\nSince launching his campaign, the former prime minister has reversed his position on key issues like labour rights, and the government's use of the constitution to bypass parliament.\n\nOne opinion poll suggested Benoit Hamon (R) could win the nomination if he went through to the run-off\n\nPerhaps it's no surprise, given the strong competition from party rebel Arnaud Montebourg, who has been snapping at his heels for weeks. A former industry minister, who was sacked after refusing to support Mr Valls's liberal reforms, he's promised an end to austerity and more investment.\n\nAnd in the past couple of days, hard-left candidate, Benoit Hamon, has surged from behind to challenge Mr Montebourg for a place in the primary run-off on 29 January. Among his core proposals are a monthly payment of €750 (£650; $800) to every French citizen, regardless of income; and the legalisation of cannabis.\n\nA fourth Socialist party candidate and former education minister, Vincent Peillon, is trying to catch up with them with plans to revamp Europe, lower taxes on the poor and invest in green technology.\n\nThree hopefuls from other left-wing parties are currently trailing well behind: Sylvia Pinel (Radical Party of the Left), Jean-Luc Bennahmias (Democratic Front) and Francois de Rugy (Ecology party).\n\nFar-left Jean-Luc Melenchon (L) and Emmanuel Macron are both polling ahead of all the Socialist candidates\n\nBut the real competition could come from outside the primary itself, because two of the Left's most popular politicians aren't even taking part.\n\nJean-Luc Melenchon is running for the presidency on his own, far-left ticket, and could pose a real challenge to candidates like Mr Montebourg or Mr Hamon, should they win.\n\nAnd then there's Emmanuel Macron, the renegade protege of President Hollande, who resigned from his ministerial post to launch a new political movement called En Marche, promising liberal values and a fresh approach to politics.\n\nHis growing appeal among young voters has surprised many sceptics who initially wrote him off as a \"champagne bubble\" that would quickly burst.\n\nThese days his presidential campaign attracts crowds in their thousands, where the leading primary candidates manage only hundreds.\n\nMr Macron classes his movement as \"neither left nor right\" but his centrist agenda is attracting many formerly Socialist voters.\n\nThe truth about this primary contest is that whoever wins the nomination could quickly find themselves face to face with the real battle for the Left.\n\nFollow BBC News coverage on the French presidential election campaign here\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Ashley and Tyson Gardner had two sets of identical twins by IVF\n\nWhat is it like being the mother of quadruplets?\n\nUtah couple Ashley and Tyson Gardner had struggled to conceive for eight years, but they eventually had two sets of identical twin girls by IVF treatment.\n\nA photo of Ashley holding the ultrasound scans had already attracted huge attention online so shortly after the girls' second birthday, she posted a video on YouTube, that went viral, to show what her everyday life is like.\n\nThe film, suitably called \"Sums up motherhood in 34 seconds\", shows Ashley having a brief break from the constant job of looking after her children by sneaking into in the pantry and treating herself to a stick of red liquorice.\n\n\"They don't ever go away. They want everything you have,\" she says in the video and to prove her point, after only a few seconds, one of her daughters peeks under the door and calls out to her.\n\nThe couple have a large social media following and their pages are littered with photos of smiling babies, but when they were told they were going to have four children at once, they did not know what to think.\n\n\"When we first found out we were having quadruplets, it was pure terror and pure joy at the same time,\" Ashley explained.\n\n\"The doctors said we only had a 40% chance of having one baby, so to have all four to come at once was a huge blessing and a huge miracle.\n\n\"The odds of both eggs splitting are literally one in a million.\n\n\"But I didn't know anyone who'd had quadruplets. I didn't know if it was physically possible for a woman, I knew nothing about it.\n\n\"I had vertigo and morning sickness for the first 16 weeks. I couldn't eat anything and I lost 20 pounds in my first trimester.\n\n\"My body hurt, my bones hurt and my hips would dislocate every time I rolled over.\"\n\nIn order to support the family, the couple run four businesses from home.\n\n\"We work when the girls are asleep - during their naptime and then after they go to bed, until one or two in the morning, every single night.\n\n\"It's really helpful we both work from home, because every other morning one of us takes the girls and the other gets to sleep in.\n\n\"Having quads was expensive in the first months.\n\n\"They were on a high-calorie formula that cost $25 (£20) a can and needed lots of nappies.\"\n\nThe couple's social media fans helped to ease the expense.\n\n\"My heart was truly touched by the amount of nappies and baby outfits that turned up by our door when they were born,\" she said.\n\n\"There really are amazing, kind, good people out there and I'm so grateful to those who follow our story and love these babies.\"\n\nAshley and Tyson regularly blog and vlog about their children's progress.\n\n\"When my pregnancy announcement went viral, so many people prayed for me and my babies. Now I feel it's my duty to show these people what they prayed for,\" she explained.\n\nAshley insists that she goes about her daily life \"like anybody else, it just takes a bit longer\".\n\n\"We do everything times four. We take them shopping with us and load them into the car several times a day.\n\n\"Just because there are four of them, we can't let that stop us living our lives. We don't just stay at home.\"\n\nAshley described the \"special relationship\" that the toddlers share.\n\n\"There are four of them and they work together to conspire against you, which is really funny. They're definitely tearing the house down.\n\n\"Each set of twins has their 'own language' and talk to each other.\n\n\"If one girl steals a toy from another one, her twin will steal it back for her. They protect one another.\"\n\nAt times, the quads can be overwhelming for Ashley and Tyson.\n\n\"We're first time parents and we're learning as we go like anyone else. There are definitely anxieties.\n\n\"Not many people have raised four toddlers at the same time so you're kind of on your own.\n\n\"I feel like we're doing a good job. Just the fact that there's four of them and they're all healthy and happy and growing and thriving is an amazing miracle to science and to God.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSwansea lifted themselves off the bottom of the Premier League table and dealt a huge blow to Liverpool's title hopes with a thrilling win at Anfield.\n\nGylfi Sigurdsson scored from close range with 16 minutes left to give Paul Clement his first win as Swans boss and the club their first away league victory over the Reds.\n\nRoberto Firmino had struck twice to draw the hosts level after Fernando Llorente's two goals in four minutes after the break.\n\nThe defeat leaves Liverpool seven points behind leaders Chelsea, who now have a game in hand, at home against Hull on Sunday.\n\nThe Tigers are one of three teams, along with Sunderland and Crystal Palace, leapfrogged by Swansea, who move up to 17th after only their second win in eight league games.\n\nIn the wake of last weekend's demoralising 4-0 defeat by Arsenal, Clement said Swansea would be \"naive\" to ignore the possibility of Premier League relegation this season.\n\nOn the evidence of their performance at Anfield, it would be equally naive of anyone to write them off.\n\nIn the space of seven days they have gone from a side who collapsed at the first setback to one capable of rallying under extreme pressure.\n\nTheir first-half defensive display - which saw them restrict Liverpool to a couple of half-chances - belied their status as the club with the division's most porous defence.\n\nTheir second-half performance was clinical, epitomised by Llorente's two strikes - a close-range finish following Federico Fernandez's header from a corner, followed by a header from Tom Carroll's cross - and Sigurdsson's decisive, well-placed finish. These were their only three efforts on target.\n\nIt was also gutsy. They had to dig very deep against a side who, before Saturday, were unbeaten in the league in over a year at home and who had scored 26 goals in their previous nine league games.\n\nIn the programme for this match, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp described October's encounter with Swansea in Wales - a 2-1 win sealed by a late James Milner penalty - as \"one of the toughest we have had all season.\"\n\nThe German may feel the need to revise that after Saturday's game.\n\nDespite having Philippe Coutinho back in the side - and ending the game with Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge on the pitch - the Reds were short of attacking invention and strength in the absence of Sadio Mane, who is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal.\n\nTheir failure to move the ball quickly enough in the first half meant they did not properly test Swansea's packed defence.\n\nAnd while Firmino scored his first goals in six games - the first a header from Milner's cross, the second a fierce finish after he had chested down Georginio Wijnaldum's delivery - a total of five shots on target and an Adam Lallana deflected effort against the bar is scant product from nearly 75% possession.\n\nWith this result coming after successive away draws at Sunderland and Manchester United, the Reds are in danger of allowing a title challenge to slip away before February has even begun.\n\nTheir next game, at home to the league leaders, is now surely a must win.\n\nWhat the managers said...\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: \"It's hard to accept. In the first half we created four or five chances which we didn't take.\n\n\"The start of the second half we were poor and then we played brilliantly and scored two. Then we were a bit passive and one player was alone in our box, which is completely senseless.\n\n\"The most disappointing moment was the third goal and I can't explain it as we had so many chances to challenge.\n\n\"It's really difficult to accept at this moment. It is fair Swansea won, no - but was it deserved, yes.\"\n\nSwansea manager Paul Clement: \"We frustrated Liverpool and defended really well. We showed great togetherness and it was a massive team effort.\n\n\"At half-time I told the players we would get at least one chance, but to get three was unbelievable.\n\n\"It's very important for the confidence of the side that we can come to a big team and get a result. We need to work hard on the training pitch and make sure we get another result in 10 days' time.\"\n\nReds first to 50 goals - the stats you need to know\n• None Liverpool's unbeaten Premier League run at Anfield has ended after 17 matches (11 wins, six draws).\n• None Firmino has scored three goals in his past two Premier League games against Swansea.\n• None Llorente has now scored eight Premier League goals but his first two away from home.\n• None Liverpool conceded three goals at Anfield in a league game for only the second time under Klopp.\n• None The Reds are the first Premier League team score 50 goals this season, while Swansea are the first to concede 50 (both now on 51).\n• None Swansea have won back-to-back away league games in the same season for the first time since May 2015.\n\nLiverpool will attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they host Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

But the eye rolling, frowns and audible tutting made it quite clear how the Brexiteers' message was going down with German business leaders.\n\nOwen Paterson, a former minister and Conservative MP, and John Longworth, co-chair of Leave Means Leave, came to Berlin on Saturday with a clear mission - to persuade German business leaders to lobby Chancellor Angela Merkel to give Britain a good trade deal.\n\nThey should have been on safe territory.\n\nThe two men are confident, witty speakers with impressive business and free-trade credentials.\n\nMr Longworth is a former head of the British Chamber of Commerce. Mr Paterson's years spent trading in Germany meant he could open his address with a few remarks in German - which drew an appreciative round of applause - and a well-judged joke about multilingual trade.\n\nBut it turned out they had entered the lion's den.\n\nThe laughter from the audience quickly turned to sniggers as they heard the UK described as \"a beacon of open, free trade around the world\".\n\nWestminster's decision to leave the world's largest free trade area does not look like that to Germany.\n\nWhen Europe was blamed for spending cuts and a lack of British health care provision, there were audible mutters of irritation from the audience.\n\nThe occasional light-hearted attempts at EU-bashing - usually guaranteed to get a cheap laugh with some British audiences - was met with stony silence.\n\nBrexiteers argue German manufacturers will want to still sell to UK customers\n\nIn another setting - at another time - this gathering of the elite of Germany's powerful business community would have lapped up the British wit.\n\nEvery ironic quip would ordinarily have had them rolling in the aisles. But British charm does not travel well these days.\n\nRattled by the economic havoc Brexit could unleash, Germans are not in the mood for gags.\n\nBritain used to be seen by continentals as quirky and occasionally awkward - but reliably pragmatic on the economy.\n\nHowever, since the Brexit vote, Europeans suspect endearing eccentricity has morphed into unpredictable irrationality. The UK has become the tipsy, tweedy uncle, who after too much Christmas sherry has tipped over into drunkenly abusive bore.\n\nWhen the audience was asked how many of them welcomed Brexit, only one hand went up - and it turned out that belonged to a businessman who wanted more EU reform and was fed up with Britain slowing things down.\n\nBrexiteer rhetoric over the past year has often focused on the size of Britain's market and how keen German manufacturers are to sell to British customers.\n\nMany leave campaigners remain convinced that German business leaders will force Mrs Merkel to grant the UK a special free trade deal in order not to lose British trade.\n\nBut that's not what's happening.\n\nAngela Merkel has said Britain will not be able to cherry-pick the best bits of the single market\n\nInstead German firms are remarkably united in their support of the chancellor in her rejection of British \"cherry-picking\" - even if it means losing business in the short-term.\n\nWhen you talk to German bosses they say their top priority is in fact the integrity of the single market, rather than hanging on to British customers.\n\nThat's because their supply chains span across the EU.\n\nA German car might be designed in Germany, manufactured in Britain, with components made in various parts of eastern Europe, to be sold in France. This only works if there are no cross-border tariffs, paperwork or red tape.\n\nGerman companies - more often family-owned and with deeper connections to their regional heartlands - tend to look at the wider picture, sometimes thinking more long-term.\n\nThey supported Mrs Merkel on sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, even though that meant a blow to trade. The financial hit was deemed less bad for business than worsening unrest in nearby Ukraine.\n\nThe same calculations are being made over Brexit.\n\nTheresa May's speech on Brexit last week made front page news in Germany\n\nThis doesn't mean German business is thinking politically, and not economically. But rather, it indicates a wider attitude towards how business can thrive long-term.\n\nGerman business leaders tell you that the British market may be important. But it is only one market, compared to 27 markets in the rest of the EU.\n\nLeave campaigners also still underestimate the political and historical significance of the EU for Germany, where it is seen as the guarantor of peace after centuries of warfare.\n\nIt is tempting to see the clashes between Westminster and the EU27 as one big decades-long misunderstanding of what the EU is.\n\nAn idealistic peace-project versus a pragmatic free-trade zone. This makes it even more ironic that London may reject the free-trade area it spent so much time creating.\n\nGermany was shocked and saddened by the UK's vote to leave the EU. But the decision was quickly accepted in Berlin.\n\n\"The Brits never really wanted to be members of the European Union anyway,\" is something you often hear these days.\n\nMany Germans now want to just work out a solution that does the least amount of harm to the European economy. Hence the irritation in Germany when British politicians keep rehashing the pre-referendum debate.\n\n\"It was frustrating to hear the same old arguments from the referendum campaign,\" one business leader told me when I asked him what he had thought about Saturday's discussion.\n\nGermany has moved on, he said. Maybe Britain should too.\n\nThe Brexiteers might not have persuaded their audience in Berlin.

Of my five years in captivity, four were spent with the Irish writer Brian Keenan.\n\nStripped of virtually all external stimuli, we had to keep our minds and hearts going with memories.\n\nTwo lonely men, we shared things that had touched us - books, films and music.\n\nOur soundscape then was as blank and depressing as the concrete walls of our cells. But music would emerge from our memories and we would hum snatches of songs as they came to us.\n\nBrian talked of traditional Irish music and of the great Belfast musician Van Morrison.\n\nI had never seen Morrison in concert but knew some of his hits - Brown Eyed Girl, Gloria and Moondance.\n\nBut as Brian spoke, I somehow I felt as though I had stood with him in a crowded Belfast concert hall watching Morrison leaning into the microphone as he sang one of his soulful ballads - or throwing himself about the stage like a wild man, overwhelmed by the power of the music.\n\nMorrison is only a few years older than Brian and was born only a few streets away in East Belfast.\n\nThey went to the same school and came from the same modest backgrounds. Morrison's father had been a shipyard worker and they had grown up in near identical, small terraced houses. However, only a short walk away, was another world, a street lined with large villas called Cyprus Avenue.\n\nMorrison wrote about it on a track on his seminal album, Astral Weeks. Brian took me to these streets for the first time to record a BBC radio documentary, Van Morrison and Me.\n\nTwo years ago, Morrison played a concert on Cyprus Avenue which Brian attended.\n\nHe dedicated the song \"Motherless Child\" to Brian, something he has never forgotten and which deeply moved him.\n\n\"It's a song which has a very special significance for me. Chained to a wall, never knowing if you were ever getting out, ever going home, your whole sense of who you were evaporated. And you felt lost and lonely, a bit like a motherless child,\" Brian said.\n\nWhen I was finally released in 1991, I strove to come to terms with what had happened with the help of my girlfriend Jill Morrell, who had been campaigning constantly for my release.\n\nWe settled in a cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside and Morrison's music became a key part of our liberation soundtrack.\n\nJill and I tried to make sense of those extraordinary times, writing a memoir of my captivity and her campaign.\n\nOne song particularly touched us both, and that was Wonderful Remark.\n\nI remember one night getting a magnifying glass to read the lyrics crammed onto the cassette's sleeve notes.\n\nAs I read, I was stunned. Morrison's words seemed to capture the emotional heart of our experience over the hostage years: \"How can you stand the silence, that pervades when we all cry? How can you watch the violence that erupts before your eyes?\"\n\nHow did he come to write that?\n\nI had met Morrison once or twice since my release at charity events and hoped that personal connection might help persuade him to speak to me about his music.\n\nSo I was delighted when he agreed to meet me at the Culloden Hotel, a beautiful former bishop's palace on the outskirts of Belfast. When I asked him about Wonderful Remark, he told me that it was a song about hard times he had suffered in New York.\n\nHe was short of money and felt stranded, a situation which contrasts to mine. But we both experienced similar feelings of frustration and sadness, as Morrison explained: \"It was a song about my circumstances but it was nothing compared to what you've been through. It was about people who were supposed to be helping you and they weren't there.\n\n\"It was about the business I'm in and the world in general. A lot of the times you can't count on anybody.\"\n\nBrian took me from Cyprus Avenue to other locations which feature in Morrison's songs. Hyndford Street, where Morrison grew up and the nearby Beachie River.\n\nBrian told me he used to go there as a boy with his father: \"If we missed school, we'd go round there and catch frogs and newts. And it was a place where you could go courting where nobody could see what you were up to.\"\n\nJohn McCarthy and Brian Keenan next to a mural celebrating Belfast's most famous musician\n\nIan Rankin is another writer who says he has been influenced by Morrison's music at an important moment in his life.\n\nIn his mid-20s he was living in London, frustrated that he was not making progress as an author.\n\nHe told me how, after suffering panic attacks, his doctor advised him to rest.\n\nSo he grabbed a handful of Van Morrison cassettes and caught a train up to Scarborough to reflect on his life.\n\n\"It's very personal music and I thought here's someone who understands something of what I'm going through, they've seen highs and lows,\" he said.\n\nWhile Wonderful Remark is the stand-out Morrison song for me, Ian was most influenced at the time by tracks from Morrison's 1973 album Hard Nose the Highway: \"What I learnt was something about ploughing your own furrow. Don't let the world get in the way, if you want to be a writer, be a writer.\"\n\nIan decided to move to France to concentrate on writing novels. He has since written 21 Inspector Rebus books and become a world-famous author.\n\nVan Morrison - Sir Van Morrison now - is rightly regarded as one of the truly original songwriters and performers of his generation.\n\nHis official accolades include two Grammys and an Ivor Novello award. One song - Someone Like You - has appeared in no less than seven Hollywood movies.\n\nBut the real accolades are from the millions of people, like me, who have, time and time again, been moved by his songs.\n\nWhen I asked him how he had managed to touch so many people's lives, he said it was about working with the natural talent with which he had been born.\n\n\"I think it comes from God, whatever that concept is. A lot of people are given gifts and they don't develop them. I thought because I was given this gift, I had to develop it.\"\n\nYou can listen to John McCarthy reflect on Van Morrison's influence on his life on BBC World Service at 14:06 GMT on Saturday or on demand afterwards via iPlayer Radio.", "The 2004 Beslan school siege is remembered for the deaths of more than 330 people including 186 children, after a Russian school was seized by Chechen rebels. But the Belgian creators of a play, Us/Them, which relives the atrocity through the eyes of two children, say recent attacks have brought the story closer to home.\n\nThe actress Gytha Parmentier has now played Us/Them in three languages.\n\nWhen the play opened in 2014 she was speaking in her native Flemish. Later she had to translate into French the words of her character - a young girl who dies in the Beslan siege.\n\nNow she's making the one-hour piece work in English opposite Roman Van Houtven, the only other member of cast.\n\nLast year the play was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival and it has now arrived at London's National Theatre.\n\n\"Acting in English, Roman and I had to learn to move our mouths in a very different way,\" she said. \"But acting in a different language gives a new juiciness to what's in the script.\"\n\nThat script is by Carly Wijs, who also directs. She recalls the spark for the play came when her eight year-old son mentioned news coverage he'd just seen of the terror attack at the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi in 2013.\n\n\"Godfried had been watching the report on the children's news and I was struck by the way he described it. He spoke in a way which was almost aloof - at eight you're just becoming aware of things which are on your planet but not really of your own world of home and family.\n\n\"Then Bronks, which is a fantastic production company in Brussels, asked me for a theatre idea for children. So I thought I would break a taboo by writing about Beslan while borrowing Godfried's tone and his very objective manner.\"\n\nIn Belgium Wij/Zij has been listed as suitable for children of nine and above; in London the National Theatre pitches Us/Them for young people aged 12 and over.\n\nThe highly physical production is made for touring and the Dorfman stage at the National is almost bare apart from balloons and string.\n\nThe production avoids the off-putting cuteness which can trip up adult actors impersonating young children. The result is heart-breaking yet somehow heart-warming too.\n\nThe show may not strike theatregoers in advance as an obvious excursion for kids. But it's an unexpectedly charming hour in the theatre perfect for family viewing. However, the National has mainly programmed performances late in the evening which may be a bad call.\n\nWijs says her view of the events of 2004 was influenced by one TV documentary in particular.\n\n\"There was a beautiful BBC programme called Children of Beslan which was helpful: they spoke to many survivors. But our play isn't a documentary. It has to work for children who know nothing of Beslan and also for their parents who remember all that went on.\"\n\nParmentier says there are clear differences between how children and grown-ups react.\n\n\"Adults tend to laugh and cry in a different way: often the laughter is in relief when they think something horrible is about to happen on the stage and it doesn't.\n\n\"I think parents automatically work out a narrative arc in their minds but children are happy to switch their attention from one thing to another.\"\n\nWijs thinks for children almost the most horrifying thing is when the girl has to undress to her underwear because it's getting hot and stuffy in the school gymnasium.\n\n\"To them it's a nightmare but I suspect adults barely register the moment.\"\n\nThe play pre-dates last March's terror attacks in Brussels in which a total of 35 people died and hundreds were injured. Wijs lived in the Molenbeek district, a focus in the city of Islamist radicalisation.\n\n\"We haven't changed the play because of those bombings but if the Brussels attacks had come first I wonder if I could have created the play. I've just done another play in Brussels which is full of light and comedy - it's a reaction to the depressing times we live in.\n\nBut both women say they haven't ignored recent violence closer to home.\n\n\"In 2015 in Belgium we had a performance in Namur in (French-speaking) Wallonia, a few days after the Bataclan attack in Paris\", says Parmentier.\n\n\"We and the theatre thought hard about whether we should cancel: would it be too hard to watch a play about so many people being killed? But instead the theatre arranged an audience discussion after the show and people were full of questions about what they had just seen. I think the play helped some of them process what had happened in Paris.\"\n\nUs/Them is playing at the National Theatre until 18 February.", "An expert in US politics has claimed President Donald Trump’s inauguration speech was the angriest he had ever heard.\n\nDr Mike Cornfield, associate professor of Political Management at the George Washington University, told BBC Radio 5 live's Anna Foster he thought President Trump's address was “extraordinary for a man who did not win the popular vote and who did not fill this mall”.", "Protests were held around the world as Donald Trump became the new president of the United States.", "For such a divisive figure, Donald Trump managed to unify hundreds of thousands of Americans at the Women's March on Washington.\n\nMoments after Mr Trump was sworn in as the 45th president on Friday, he delivered a thundering speech in which he promised to improve the lives of millions of Americans.\n\nA day later, throngs of women, men and children streamed into the same area where he made that pledge, in order to take a stand for gender and racial equality.\n\nThough Mr Trump's named was mentioned frequently, the march, which organisers estimate attracted more than half a million, was not only about the new US president.\n\nMessages ranged from \"Thank you for making me an activist Trump\" to \"We will not be silenced,\" but the common thread throughout the patchwork of signs was hope.\n\n\"It's about solidarity and visualising the resistance,\" said Jonathon Meier, who took a bus from New York.\n\n\"And I think it not only helps with the healing process, but it gives me hope for the next four years.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

So what about the sea of white women at the march?\n\nLesley Mansfield, who travelled from Sante Fe, New Mexico, agreed that it was puzzling that so many women voted for Mr Trump.\n\n\"It's a reality we have to be aware of,\" she said. \"But being here reminds us that there are people who think like we do - like the majority who voted for Hillary Clinton.\"\n\nThose sobering statistics did not seem to loom over those in attendance on Saturday, and like the Trump supporters who stood in the same spot 24 hours earlier, they were full of hope for America's future.", "This is Igor, a very good dog\n\nLike many a BBC reporter before, I come to you with news of a coup, and perhaps the most significant transition of power you’ll read about this weekend.\n\nCats on the internet are over.

The top three posts of all time on its r/aww subreddit, the section for all things cuddly, are all about dogs.\n\n\"But wait!\" you might say. \"The fourth one is a cat!\". Ah, but is it?

I got in touch with them about this, and within hours they came back to me with the goods.\n\nFor starters, the runaway champion of most popular animal on Facebook is a dog named Boo. He’s got more than 17.5m likes, more than double that of his closest competitor, Grumpy Cat.\n\nIn third place, Nyan Cat - who isn’t even a real cat, for crying out loud.\n\nOn Instagram, fine, I’ll admit, the top celebrity is a cat. But 2nd, 3rd and 4th place? All dogs. All good dogs.\n\nWhen it comes to searches on Google, dogs .\n\nBut more significant was the historic moment on 3 January 2016, when, for the first time, the term \"cute dogs\" overtook \"funny cats\" in global searches.\n\nLike any viral phenomena, there’s a new vocabulary to get your head around if you are to be a part of this new term of internet governance.\n\nDogs aren’t just dogs. They’re doggos. Puppies are puppers. And while not all puppers can be considered doggos, all doggos are most certainly puppers. Or woofers. Woofers that bork. If you want, you can boop a doggo’s snoot. That is - to lightly bop on one’s nose.\n\nThis is Loki, a very good dog\n\nWhen in mild distress, or sometimes just for emphasis, their chosen curse word is the ferociously aggressive \"heckin\".\n\nOh, and if a dog sticks his or her tongue out a little bit?

You’re welcome.\n\nIt’s the grassroots of doggo appreciation that has the movement set to make huge strides in 2017.\n\nIt’s being spearheaded by Matt Nelson, a 20-year-old who studies golf course management in North Carolina, and a man described by serious newspaper Washington Post as \"the internet’s most famous dog rater\".\n\nNelson runs the WeRateDogs account on Twitter. People submit dogs to be rated, and Nelson will consider the merits of said dog and provide a score out of 10.\n\nRecent scores: 12/10 for Hercules, 13/10 for Duchess and 14/10 for Sundance who, in a short clip, plays the drums.\n\nLate last year this generous but fair system was brought into disrepute by the user Brant, who questioned why all the dogs got such unfathomably high ratings.\n\n\"They’re good dogs, Brent,\" replied Nelson - an era-defining retort which you can now buy on a hoodie. Or a mug.\n\nSince then, popularity has exploded. He now has over a million followers.\n\n\"We started up an e-commerce store,\" Matt tells me. \"We have a book deal.

He deserves his place in the history books.\n\n\"He is a true great for club and country, and it is fitting that he is now the highest goalscorer for both United and England.\"\n\nFormer Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson: \"Wayne thoroughly deserves his place in the history books of this great club and I am sure that he will go on to score many more goals.\n\n\"Well done Wayne, I am absolutely delighted for you, you have been a great servant to this club and long may it continue.\"\n\nStoke City manager and former Manchester United striker Mark Hughes: \"It is an outstanding record and won't be surpassed.

We were within seconds of beating a very good Manchester United team.\n\n\"My only criticism to the guys is that we didn't keep the ball long enough. We are good enough to do that but we needed more care to get up the other end of the pitch.\n\n\"In the end we tried to protect what we had and I can't criticise what we did for the free kick.\"\n\nManchester United boss Jose Mourinho: \"It was a big game with two teams in the beginning trying to win. But after 25 minutes one team tried to win and the other tried to defend, which they did amazingly well.\n\n\"They showed great work-rate and did everything to try and stop us. We did everything well except in front of our target.\n\n\"We missed unbelievable chances. We hit the post, the keeper saves, we missed chances. The opposition goalkeepers are always amazing against us.\"\n\nOut of the FA Cup, Stoke do not play again until 1 February, when they host Everton in the Premier League.\n\nUnited have two games before then, holding a 2-0 lead when they travel to Hull in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final on Thursday and entertaining Wigan in the FA Cup on 29 January (16:00 GMT, live on BBC One).\n• None Attempt missed.

He's openly misogynistic and racist as well. I see America as a leader and partners in the Western world. He represents such a big nation.\n\n\"Our leaders over here are right wing as well. It's not going the right way for me.\n\n\"Brexit is a concern. I hope we protect the rights the EU offers, such as employment rights and maternity. These issues need to be spoken about. When a nation is doing badly, women suffer.\n\n\"Personally I want my daughter to see what I've done today to show you can do things to change the world and she does have the power.\"\n\nIt was a message which resonated with many other parents as they walked with their children in the fresh winter's air along Piccadilly.\n\nThe march had many parents attending with their children\n\nNancy Pegg, 39, a mum-of-two from south-west London, came along with her daughter Sophie, nine, who carried a yellow banner emblazoned with the words \"Yes to equality\".\n\nShe said: \"This is about equality for girls not in a fortunate position.\n\n\"Trump is a concern but empowering women is the main motivation. I think it's important for my daughter to have a powerful voice and to know she can be a strong force.\n\n\"We live in a male-dominated world. I want to show her anything her brother can do, she can do too. There are no boundaries.\"\n\nAlthough the event was labelled a Women's March, there were hundreds of men in the crowd showing their support.\n\nCar horns beeped to galvanise the demonstrators who, in turn, greeted the drivers with cheers as the march progressed to its rally in Trafalgar Square.\n\nThe Raise Voices Choir motivated the protesters by singing \"Don't let Trump get his way\" to their own version of \"The Battle Hymn of the Republic\".\n\nStudent Patrick Bone, from Shepherd's Bush, London, attended because he felt \"progress made in the last decades is in threat of being eroded\".\n\nHe added: \"Trump's election signalled a rise of the populist right who look to blame economic problems on minorities or disenfranchised groups.\n\n\"His election was a catalyst for something that's been coming a long time.\n\n\"This march is to show we will stand and be counted. This is only the beginning. The work begins today.\"\n\nTom Amies, 33, a doctor from Middlesex, walked beside his wife Lydia, 34, as he carried their 11-month-old daughter Niamh in a baby carrier sling.\n\n\"This is for my daughter, he said.\n\n\"There has been a political slide to the right and a sense of misplaced trust. Trump wants to repeal Obamacare. It shows how good we have it with the NHS.\n\n\"There are going to be people there who have that healthcare for life-saving treatment and they will no longer be able to afford it.\"\n\nLydia Amie, husband Tom and daughter Niamh attended the march as a family\n\nThe demonstration brought representatives from all nationalities, including Americans who felt they needed to take a stand even though they were thousands of miles away from their country.\n\nRetired banker Carol Moore, 68, originally from New York, came to represent the Democrats Abroad UK Women's Caucus.\n\nShe said: \"I've come because of the horror of seeing Donald Trump win. He is divisive and will hurt the middle classes by repealing the healthcare act.\n\n\"This march has taken on huge visibility here in the UK because the issues are global. Women's pay was an issue when I worked in the City.\n\n\"There is still the issue of sexual violence and how it's prosecuted and handled here.\n\n\"I hope this is a message to women to recognise they have a voice to fight issues here in the UK and around the world.\"\n\nBusiness development manager Anna McDermott, 29, originally from California, has been in the UK for 11 years.\n\nShe said: \"As an American, I cannot accept what Donald Trump says and I can't accept him as a president.\n\n\"I do hope this sends out a message. 'Good morning. Welcome to day one of the resistance. This is the world shouting back'.\"\n\nAs the crowd moved into Trafalgar Square, the noise quietened so demonstrators could listen to the speakers on the stage, who included TV presenter Sandi Toksvig and Labour MP Yvette Cooper.\n\nHowever, the final address was given by 10-year-old Sumayah Siddiqi who read out a poem to the crowd which had a message of optimism with the words \"I shall stand for love\".\n\nSumayah Siddiqi addressed the crowds at the Women's March", "Here's a solution that could tackle two of the West's most urgent problems: a young generation priced out of affordable housing, and the loneliness and isolation of a rapidly ageing population.\n\nFor so-called millennials, like Mikyoung Ahn, a large home is a seemingly unattainable dream. She could not imagine living in a spacious detached house on the leafy outskirts of Paris, just half an hour from the Arc de Triomphe. She definitely couldn't imagine paying just 120 Euros (£100) a month to live there.\n\nYet, with the help of an innovative housing scheme, that idea is no longer a fantasy for the 25-year-old student from Seoul, South Korea.\n\nAn aspiring architect, she wanted to live and study in one of the world's cultural capitals. To realise her dream, she turned away from traditional student accommodation. Instead of moving in with other young people, Mikyoung chose as a landlady and housemate a 78-year-old widow with a passion for patchwork.\n\n\"I knew I was going away from home for university, and that I wouldn't have any family or any friends,\" she says. \"But after the first meeting her, I knew it was going to be perfect.\"\n\nMikyoung and her landlady, Monique, have been living together since October, after they were matched by an organisation called Ensemble2Generations. This organisation and others like it pair elderly people with students, in an arrangement called homeshare.\n\nThe concept is simple, yet it attempts to bridge an intergenerational divide that exists in many parts of the world.\n\nOn one side are older people, who own properties that were purchased when house prices were comparatively cheap, but who may now need some help with daily activities like shopping and cleaning.\n\nOn the other side are young people, who cannot afford to rent a decent flat, but who may have some time to spare.\n\nMonique has got Mikyoung into her hobby, quilting\n\nMikyoung helps Monique with a range of everyday tasks. She carries Monique's shopping in the supermarket, washes up, and has even created an instruction sheet to help Monique understand all the buttons on her TV remote.\n\n\"It's not a big deal,\" she says. \"It's just life, you know. If I lived here, I would have to clean the dishes or take the trash out. I feel really this is my home - this is our home.\n\n\"Every night when I come back, I prepare the dinner and I put on the music that I have learned today. For example, Champs-Élysées or something like that, and we sing together.\"\n\nMonique, who is a retired schoolteacher, is now an avid fan of Downton Abbey, after being introduced to the programme by Mikyoung.\n\n\"We have very good moments together, because we share a lot,\" says Monique. \"We often sit together and watch TV programmes. Everything is simple between us.\"\n\nTurning to Monique, she adds: \"You are like a granddaughter to me.\"\n\nHomeshare is not a new idea - it was first trialled in the USA and Spain during the 1980s. However, experts have recently started to view it as a scalable solution to two problems that continue to cause social problems. While young people are migrating to cities, pushing up the price of rent, many populations in the developed world are ageing.\n\nMeet the people fixing the world in the new World Service programme, World Hacks\n\nHomeshare schemes are now active in 16 countries across the world. Since 1999, an organisation called Homeshare International has acted as a network for homeshare schemes.\n\n\"The benefits to the householder are they feel much safer at home because of having someone else in the house,\" says Elizabeth Mills, the organisation's director. \"They're happier, incidents of accidents and falls go down, and the reassurance for the householder's family is absolutely enormous.\"\n\nMost programmes offer two homeshare arrangements for prospective participants. The first allows the student to live in an elderly person's home rent-free in exchange for help around the house. The second requires the student to contribute money to household bills, but places fewer burdens on their time.\n\nIt costs roughly 900 Euros a month for a student to live in the centre of Paris\n\nSo will schemes like this help solve the housing crises of millenials - and the problems of the elderly?\n\nResearch into homeshare projects in Spain and the USA indicates that participants are overwhelmingly satisfied by the arrangement. The Spanish study, for example, reported that 93.2% of elderly people had benefitted in some way from the programme, while 98.7% of students had benefitted.\n\nThe organisation that paired Monique and Mikyoung, Ensemble2Generations, conducts face-to-face interviews before placing people together. Students even have to put pen to paper to explain why they want a placement, so that their application can be examined by a handwriting expert. Despite this, some partnerships simply do not work out.\n\nA major issue is that people of different generations may not always get on. Monique's previous housemate was a young gardener who spent a lot of time out of the house. When they did occasionally eat together, the gardener did not want to have a conversation. Instead, according to Monique, he just stared vacantly at his phone. But that did not shake Monique's confidence in homeshare.\n\n\"I never doubted whether I wanted to homeshare. I knew there were other people out there… It is a good solution for me.\"\n\nAnd although the gardener did not provide much companionship for Monique, experts widely acknowledge that homeshare is an effective antidote to loneliness - a problem that affects over one million elderly people in Britain, according to Age UK. Helen Bown, a policy expert who specialises in social isolation, says that the emotional support provided by a homeshare relationship often exceeds its financial advantages.\n\n\"People talk about not feeling so lonely anymore, particularly people who are single, \" she says. \"People have talked about having a safety net, particularly at night.\n\n\"I think one of the most compelling things that people have talked about, consistently, is the impact emotionally for people - the positive relationship. The feeling that people are contributing; that they are part of a mutually beneficial relationship, not just a transaction of care and support.\"\n\nThis is certainly the case for Armelle, a 64 year-old woman living in Cergy, northwest of Paris. Eighteen months ago, Armelle's husband died of cancer. Devastated, and fearing loneliness, she got in touch with Ensemble2Generations. Since then, she has housed a 19-year-old student called Blandine, from Versailles, who is studying engineering at a local university.\n\n\"If my husband had been here, I would never have thought of accommodating a student,\" says Armelle. \"But she's like a companion. It's so good to have a presence in the house. I enjoy Blandine's company a lot.\"\n\nArmelle and Blandine have an easygoing friendship\n\nArmelle and Blandine's relationship is like a casual friendship. They relax together in the evenings and chat about their lives. While she was away from the house for a few days, Armelle even allowed Blandine to have a house party.\n\n\"Though her contract says that she's not allowed to have friends over, I know that I can trust her,\" says Armelle, laughing. \"I even helped her organise it.\"\n\nThe house has a large fireplace and a spectacular view over the lakes of Cergy. Unsurprisingly, Blandine is fond of these home comforts, and is not keen on moving into a cramped student flat for the next academic year.\n\n\"In student accommodation everything is in the same room, except for the bathroom,\" she says, wrinkling up her nose.\n\n\"I have a few friends who are offering to flat-share next year. I tell them, \"Why not?\" but I'm actually very comfortable here - I'm not sure I'm going to leave.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find World Hacks on Facebook, and follow the BBC World Service on Twitter.", "BBC Sport picks out some great goals from Wayne Rooney's Manchester United career after the striker became the club's all-time leading goalscorer.\n\nWATCH MORE: It's a great feeling - Rooney on breaking record\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "When the so-called Islamic State group seized control of a town near Mosul and began killing police officers, some of them resorted to unconventional measures to stay alive, reports John Beck.\n\nFor more than two-and-a-half years it helped keep the middle-aged former police officer hidden from IS and safe from the bullets and knives that killed almost all his colleagues.\n\nWhen the jihadists arrived in his hometown of Hammam al-Alil in mid-2014, as they swept across northern Iraq, the first things they did was to round up police and army officers.\n\nThey killed the higher-ranking men immediately, but eventually offered an amnesty of sorts to the rest. If they renounced the government in Baghdad and pledged to live under IS rules, then they'd go free.\n\nAbu Alawi stayed in hiding. At first in his home or a bolthole dug in his garden. But IS searches became more stringent and he realised that he'd have to move further afield.\n\nAhmed, 22, from a pro-government militia, stands in a burnt-out building used by IS as a prison\n\nThe solution, he decided, was a niqab - the black, face-concealing veil that IS forces all women under its rule to wear. From then on, when a sympathetic friend would tip him off about impending searches, he'd shroud his moustachioed face and portly figure and move somewhere safer, disguised as a woman.\n\nThere was a thrill, he said, in \"playing\" with IS, but when he passed close by the black-clad militants it wasn't fun any more. Then he feared he'd share the fate of friends who'd donned the same disguise but been less lucky, or less convincing, and were arrested as a result.\n\n\"They were near to me so many times and I was so afraid,\" he said, miming a heart pounding in his chest. \"All the time I was thinking I was going to be checked and discovered.\"\n\nIS eventually left Hammam al-Alil, setting oil wells alight as it went\n\nHammam al-Alil is a former spa town, once famous for the therapeutic powers of its thermal springs. It's hard to imagine holidaymakers visiting now. I met Abu Alawi there as he waited for a Danish non-governmental organisation to distribute blankets and solar heaters on a cold and damp winter morning. Men and women split into separate queues and stood patiently between the muddy puddles.\n\nAfter IS arrived, I was told, they gathered the former officers in the town's main square. Then they blindfolded them, loaded them on to trucks that drove a short way out of town, and shot or beheaded them.\n\nFederal police took me to one mass grave, a police shooting range turned rubbish dump. The awful smell was the first sign of what had happened there.\n\nThen came the clouds of flies and, lying amid the refuse, between discarded children's toys and food packaging, the badly decomposed remains of a man - his hands and legs bound and marked by signs of torture.\n\n\"Under here it's all bodies,\" our escort said, gesturing towards a series of narrow trenches covered with bulldozed earth and he cautioned that the area was probably still booby-trapped with improvised explosive devices. He estimated there were at least 350 people buried in the area.\n\nAnother man in the aid distribution queue, Abu Ali - younger, taller and thinner than Abu Alawi - produced his old police ID card.\n\nHe'd buried it in his garden while IS was here, and he too had survived the massacre, in part thanks to a niqab.\n\n\"All I did was hide, hide and wear the veil like this,\" he said, stooping over to minimise his stature.\n\nHis brother, a fellow officer, was executed, leaving behind a wife and seven children. And when they left Hammam al-Ali, IS took Abu Ali's father with them to Mosul as a human shield.\n\nThis was not a unique story. Everyone I spoke to in the town had lost someone, some entire families. One militia member in his early 20s said IS had killed his parents and murdered or captured seven of his brothers.\n\nBut a semblance of normal life has in some ways returned to the town.\n\nAt the dilapidated thermal baths near the banks of the Tigris, smiling children and soldiers played in the warm waters.\n\nOthers collected grey mineral-rich mud in bottles and touted its therapeutic qualities.\n\nIt may be the start of healing, but the scars of occupation by IS will last for some time yet.\n\nJoin the conversation -

it's a matter of faith and the faith of the leadership in India.\n\n\"Nothing on Earth is going to stop us from doing that.\"\n\nSolar energy prices are now on a par with coal in India, which boasts the world's biggest solar farm and the first chemical plant to eat its own CO2 emissions.\n\nIt will continue to expand coal-fired generation for the next few years, but its National Electricity Plan projects no further increase in coal-based capacity after 2022 - much earlier than previously suggested.\n\nIndia's Tuticorin plant is the world's first zero-emission chemical facility\n\nDollars, technology and jobs will pour into clean energy in these countries, and the USA will surely be keen not to miss out.\n\nMeanwhile, moves are being made to consolidate President Obama's climate legacy.\n\nThe US previously pledged $3bn to the UN's green fund to help poor countries adapt to climate change and get clean technology.\n\nMr Trump won support among some voters for promising to stop payments and spend the cash on American citizens instead.\n\nBut this week President Obama slipped the fund a further $500m.\n\nAnd it won't just be on the international stage that Mr Trump's team will face fossil fuel battles.\n\nSome early skirmishes on American soil are already under way.\n\nThis week, the Environmental Protection Agency cemented stricter efficiency standards for cars.\n\nRepublicans will try to reverse this - but when carmakers previously resisted efficiency rules, they ended up producing such uncompetitive gas-guzzlers that the industry had to be bailed out.\n\nEven Republican plans to boost extraction of fossil fuels, while popular in some states because the industries create jobs, will provoke local resistance from people who don't want oil pipelines, or don't want the tops blown off their mountains to get to coal.\n\nIt may be hard to persuade investors to put cash into coal anyway.\n\nMany states will resist fossil fuels, too.\n\nCalifornia has long led the way on car emissions and recently insisted it will keep its right to set its own tighter regulations for cars.\n\nMr Trump's team may try to rescind this.\n\nThe Paris climate agreement resulted in 195 nations pledging to reduce emissions\n\nThere are already CO2 trading schemes between states on the east and west coasts, and last week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced plans to build enough offshore wind capacity by 2030 to power 1.25 million homes.\n\nHere's the big picture: as the world moves together to tackle climate change, it is clearly problematic if the biggest historic polluter threatens to pull in the opposite direction.\n\nWill Angela Merkel, for instance, be so sanguine about Germany's controversial switch to renewables if the US forces its already-low energy prices even lower, triggering protests from German industry?\n\nIn the words of Jo Haigh, professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College, London: \"If Trump does what he said he'd do, and others follow suit, my gut feeling is that I'm scared. Very scared.\"\n\nBut he may not.

The previous record-holder, Ronald Reagan, was 69 when he took office in 1981.\n\nPerhaps keen to allay fears about his senior status, the business mogul had his doctor prepare a gushing letter pledging that he would be \"the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency\".\n\nRight-wing Indian activists celebrate The Donald's 70th birthday in New Delhi\n\nThe average age of all 44 previous incoming presidents is a sprightly 55.\n\nThe youngest ever incumbent - Theodore Roosevelt - got the job aged 42 years and 322 days, after President William McKinley's assassination in 1901.\n\nMr Trump is the first billionaire president. Exact estimates of his personal wealth vary, with Forbes putting it at $3.7bn (£3bn) and the man himself claiming in a statement that it's \"in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS\".\n\nMany of America's past presidents have also been extremely wealthy, of course. Recent estimates say George Washington's estate would be worth half a billion in today's dollars.\n\nDonald Trump has said he will take only a dollar in salary - like former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger (L)\n\nBefore his 1963 assassination, JFK reportedly lived off a $10m trust fund thanks to the vast wealth of his father - investor and alleged bootlegger Joseph P Kennedy, Sr.\n\nMr Trump will be following in the footsteps of former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger by taking just a symbolic dollar as a salary.\n\nWhen Mr Trump began unveiling his cabinet picks, the number with fat wallets quickly drew the scorn of Democrats.\n\n\"Donald Trump's administration: of, by and for the millionaires and billionaires,\" tweeted Vermont Senator and Democrat presidential contender Bernie Sanders.\n\nFor better or worse, this will be the wealthiest administration in modern American history.\n\nAccording to the Washington Post, commerce secretary nominee Wilbur Ross is worth around $2.5bn on his own - roughly 10 times what George W Bush's first cabinet were worth in 2001, when the media branded them an assembly of millionaires.\n\nTreasury appointee Steven Mnuchin quite literally bought a bank after 17 years at Goldman Sachs, and reports put his wealth at over $40m.\n\nIt has been estimated that the cabinet could be good for an eye-watering $35bn, all told. As Quartz pointed out, this is more than the annual gross domestic product of Bolivia.\n\nMr Trump's triumph is also significant because, until now, no-one has been elected president in more than 60 years without experience as a state governor or in Congress.\n\nThe last president with no political experience, Dwight Eisenhower, was Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in World War Two, before he was elected to office in 1953.\n\nSome Trump voters saw his lack of political experience as a guarantee of authenticity\n\nBut as Mr Trump tells it, his lack of links to the Washington establishment is an asset not a flaw - and more than made up for by his experience as a deal-maker.\n\nMr Trump has named his son-in-law, real estate developer Jared Kushner, as a senior adviser - prompting cries of nepotism from opponents.\n\nSome claim the appointment makes the 36-year-old the most powerful presidential son-in-law in US history.\n\nHe isn't the first to fit that profile, however.\n\nPresident Woodrow Wilson's Treasury Secretary, William Gibbs McAdoo, was also married to his daughter, Eleanor.\n\nFirst Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are set to wield considerable clout\n\nThat said, their case pre-dates America's 1967 anti-nepotism statute, and Mr McAdoo was already a cabinet secretary when he wed.\n\nIvanka Trump, Mr Trump's elder daughter and wife of Mr Kushner, is also being spoken of as the most influential \"First Daughter\" ever.\n\nSo much fuss has been made of what Donald Trump owns that you might have missed one glaring absence - a pet.\n\nIt looks likely that he'll be the first US President in over a century not to have an animal pal in the White House, after plans to have him adopt a goldendoodle dog reportedly fell through.\n\nAccording to the Presidential Pet Museum, almost every commander-in-chief has had a pet, and some had a virtual menagerie.\n\nJohn F Kennedy stands out for owning a veritable Noah's Ark - everything from a rabbit named Zsa Zsa to a canary called Robin - but the crown belongs to Calvin and Grace Coolidge (White House occupants from 1923-1929), who the museum says \"quite literally had a zoo\".\n\nBarack Obama's Portuguese Water Dog, Bo, is among the more traditional pets to live at the White House\n\nTheir animal companions included at least a dozen dogs, a donkey named Ebenezer, and various creatures presented as gifts by foreign dignitaries - among them lion cubs, a wallaby, a pygmy hippo named Billy, and a black bear.\n\nDonald Trump won the presidency on a pro-job platform, and has blamed free-trade policies for the collapse of the US manufacturing industry.\n\nThis is a rare stance for a US president, probably last seen in his fellow Republican Herbert Hoover in the 1930s.\n\nIn September 2015, Mr Trump told the Economist China is \"killing us\", and that millions of Americans are \"tired of being ripped off\".\n\nHe said that as president, he would consider a 12% import tax to make the Chinese \"stop playing games\".\n\nDuring his election campaign, Mr Trump also threatened to rip up Nafta, the free trade agreement between Canada, the US and Mexico, which has been in place for 23 years.\n\nThe Republican has long been opposed to the TPP, which he views as a poor deal for the US\n\nHe also vowed that the US would quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, a 12-nation agreement, on his first day in the White House.\n\nFormer model Melania Trump is as trailblazing as her husband.\n\nShe will be the first presidential spouse from Slovenia, and the first non-native English speaker.\n\nShe is only the second FLOTUS born outside the US, though - the first being Louisa Adams, wife of the sixth US President, John Quincy Adams (1825-1829), who was born in London.\n\nAs Mr Trump has been married twice before, Melania will also be the first third wife to reside in the White House. The only other US president to have divorced was Ronald Reagan, who split from his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, long before leading the nation.\n\nMelania speaks Slovenian, English, French, German, and Serbian, and may be the most competent linguist to hold the role of FLOTUS.\n\nMelania Trump will be the first non-native English speaker to be FLOTUS\n\nShe is the first president's wife to have posed nude, for GQ magazine in 2000 among others.\n\nMr Trump is no stranger to men's magazines either. He appeared on the cover of Playboy in March 1990 with the tag-line: \"Nice magazine, want to sell it?\"", "The papers are dominated by coverage of the US presidential inauguration - with every front page featuring a picture of Donald Trump.\n\nMr Trump, says the Times, unveiled a new era - but it notes that the imagery was unusually dark for an inaugural address, with the president describing crime-ridden inner cities, catastrophic levels of drug addiction, and rusted-out factories.\n\nThe Daily Mirror describes it as a \"chilling inaugural speech\" in which Mr Trump vowed to put the United States first - \"and to hell with every other country\".\n\nThe Daily Mail says it was an incendiary speech, that both electrified and divided his nation.\n\nIt points out the the new president had been expected to finally go easy on the vitriol and enjoy the pomp and ceremony of the event. But it says he used the speech to fire both barrels at the political establishment.\n\nIn the view of the Financial Times, the new president made a defiant and uncompromising address, in which he promised to revive the country with an aggressive rejection of globalisation. The paper says his inauguration marked the end of an incredible journey that was propelled by a groundswell of populism.\n\nThe Sun says more than a billion people watched the swearing in of the new president on TV, with 900,000 spectators on the National Mall in Washington to witness Mr Trump give a thumbs up and fist pump. However the paper notes that the crowd in Washington was only half of that which saw Barack Obama become the first black president in 2009.\n\nWriting in the Guardian, Gary Younge says there was no higher calling, no sense of a greater purpose, and no impassioned idealism. He describes the first words of Mr Trump's presidency as a \"crude and unapologetic appeal to nationalism\".\n\nIn the i, Michael Day describes the address as \"lousy\" and says \"it hardly made the heart soar\".\n\nThe editorials have mixed messages for President Trump.\n\nThe Sun says that now he is in the Oval Office, he may be stunned by the complexity of many of the problems he faces. It notes that plenty of people will write him off - but says that President Reagan was written off too - before he changed the world.\n\nThe Daily Mail claims his speech was \"truly astonishing\" - as he tore up the rule book and delivered an inauguration address unlike any heard before.\n\nThe Daily Express asserts that the progressive left-leaning programme, which seemed woven into Western democracy, is now being unravelled. It says this is a profound change, which will affect us all.\n\nAccording to the Daily Telegraph, the inaugural address was what Mr Trump's supporters had gathered in their thousands to hear. But it says that for outsiders, it was an unsettling speech that seemed to presage the emergence of an inward-looking, isolationist America.\n\nThe Daily Mirror says the US and the rest of the world should be \"very afraid\" following what it describes as the new president's \"rambling, pugnacious and protectionist speech\".\n\nThe Guardian is equally horrified, saying his America First nationalism was both \"crude and shameless\". It concludes the reality of a Trump presidency is a \"terrifying prospect\".\n\nA number of papers also leave space to comment on the person whose day it could have been: Hillary Clinton.\n\nThe Daily Mail says protocol demanded she attended the inauguration with her husband - and her solemn face showed the strain as she arrived at the US Capitol.\n\nThe Daily Express observes the former first lady looked more like she was attending a funeral.\n\nFor the Guardian, Mrs Clinton stood stoically as chants of \"lock her up\" emanated from the crowd. However, on a more positive note, it adds that she left the ceremony waving to supporters and smiling broadly.\n\nFinally - despite their disagreements about President Trump - the papers all seem united on one point.\n\nThe Daily Mirror,Daily Express and the Sun all declare that the stand-out person at Friday's events was the new First Lady, Melania Trump.\n\nMany commentators, including the fashion director of the Daily Telegraph, compare her to Jackie Kennedy.\n\nThe Guardian says she wore a sleek ice blue dress and jacket, which was custom-made by US designer Ralph Lauren.\n\nFor the Daily Mail, she did not put a foot wrong, describing her as the \"dazzling new First Lady\".", "President Donald Trump and his wife First Lady Melania Trump have the first dance at the inaugural ball.", "Long before he was a contender for the US presidency, Donald Trump was America's most famous and colourful billionaire.\n\nOnce considered a long shot for the presidency, the 74-year-old is now out of office after a single term - but he remains a force within the Republican party.\n\nScepticism over his candidacy for the 2016 election had stemmed not only from his controversial platform on immigration and outrageous campaign style but from his celebrity past.\n\nYet the businessman had the last laugh when he defied all predictions to beat much more seasoned politicians in the Republican primary race.\n\nHe then went a step further by winning the presidential election, one of the most divisive and controversial contests in living memory, against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.\n\nMr Trump is the fourth child of New York real estate tycoon Fred Trump. Despite the family's wealth, he was expected to work the lowest-tier jobs within his father's company and was sent off to a military academy at age 13 when he started misbehaving in school.\n\nAfter attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania he became favourite to succeed his father when his older brother, Fred, chose to become a pilot. Fred Trump died at 43 from alcoholism, an incident that his brother says led him to avoid alcohol and cigarettes his entire life.\n\nMr Trump says he got into real estate with a \"small\" $1m loan from his father before joining the company. He helped manage his father's extensive portfolio of residential housing projects in the New York City boroughs, and took control of the company - which he renamed the Trump Organization - in 1971.\n\nHis father died in 1999. \"My father was my inspiration,\" Mr Trump said at the time.\n\nShifting his family's business from residential units in Brooklyn and Queens to glitzy Manhattan projects, Mr Trump transformed the rundown Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt and erected the most famous Trump property, the 68-storey Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Other properties bearing the famous name followed - Trump Place, Trump World Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower, and so on. There are Trump Towers in Mumbai, Istanbul and the Philippines.\n\nAnd Mr Trump developed hotels and casinos, an arm of the business that has led to four bankruptcy filings (for the businesses, not personal bankruptcy).\n\nHe also built an empire in the entertainment business. From 1996 until 2015, he was an owner in the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA beauty pageants. In 2003, he debuted an NBC reality television show called The Apprentice, in which contestants competed for a shot at a management job within Mr Trump's organisation. He hosted the show for 14 seasons, and said in a financial disclosure form that he had been paid a total of $213m by the network during the show's run.\n\nHe has written several books, and owns a line of merchandise that sells everything from neckties to bottled water. According to Forbes, his net worth is $2.5bn (£1.9bn).\n\nIn September, the New York Times reported that despite his purported wealth, Mr Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax both in 2016 and in his first year in the White House. The former president dismissed the report as \"fake news\".\n\nMr Trump has been married three times, though his most famous wife was his first - Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech athlete and model. The couple had three children - Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric - before they filed for divorce in 1990. The ensuing court battle made for numerous stories in the tabloid press. Those stories included allegations that he was abusive towards Ivana, though she later downplayed the incidents.\n\nHe married actress Marla Maples in 1993. They had a daughter named Tiffany before divorcing in 1999. He married his current wife, Slovenian model Melania Knauss, in 2005, and the couple have one son, Barron William Trump.\n\nTrump with his wife Melania and children at his campaign announcement\n\nHis children from his first marriage now help run Trump Organization, though he is still chief executive. Ivanka, his eldest daughter, followed her dad to the White House, where she and her husband, Jared Kushner, served as senior advisers.\n\nMr Trump expressed interest in running for president as early as 1987, and even entered the 2000 race as a Reform Party candidate.\n\nAfter 2008, he became one of the most outspoken members of the \"birther\" movement, which questioned whether Barack Obama had been born in the US. Those claims have been thoroughly debunked; Mr Obama was born in Hawaii. Mr Trump finally admitted there was no truth to the claims although, characteristically, there was no apology.\n\nIt was not until June 2015 that Mr Trump formally announced his entrance into the race for the White House.\n\n\"We need somebody that literally will take this country and make it great again. We can do that,\" he said in his announcement speech, promising that as a candidate with no need to fundraise he answered to no special interests and was the perfect outsider candidate.\n\nUnder the banner Make America Great Again, Mr Trump ran a controversial campaign built on promises to strengthen the American economy, build a wall on the border of Mexico and the US, and to temporarily ban immigration by Muslims \"until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on\".\n\nDespite massive protests at his campaign events and the best efforts of his Republican rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Mr Trump became the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president after the Indiana primary.\n\nFew expected to ever see Trump in the Oval Office\n\nMr Trump's 2016 campaign for the presidency was rocked by controversies, including the emergence of a recording from 2005 of him making lewd remarks about women, and claims, including from members of his own party, that he was not fit for office.\n\nBut he consistently told his army of supporters that he would defy the opinion polls, which mostly had him trailing Hillary Clinton, and that his presidency would strike a blow against the political establishment and \"drain the swamp\" in Washington.\n\nHe took inspiration from the successful campaign to get Britain out of the European Union, saying he would pull off \"Brexit times 10\".\n\nIt was something few pundits believed would happen as polling day approached, despite his campaign receiving a late boost from fresh controversy over an FBI investigation into his opponent's emails.\n\nAs his stunning victory was still sinking in across the US, his supporters got the chance to see him in the Oval Office when he and President Obama met for transition talks two days after election day.\n\nHe is the first US president never to have held elected office or served in the military, meaning that he had already made history before he was sworn in as America's 45th president on 20 January 2017.\n\nMr Trump's presidency has been marked by the coronavirus pandemic - and his own infection\n\nMuch like his candidacy, Donald Trump's presidency was marked by drama and controversy.\n\nIn January 2017, he signed his first executive order, banning travel from seven countries, most with Muslim-majorities. The ban, decried as xenophobic by critics, has been upheld by the Supreme Court.\n\nMonths later, he shocked Washington by firing FBI Director James Comey. The sudden dismissal was described as potentially obstructing justice in a subsequent report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which probed alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. The two-year long investigation did not establish criminal collusion.\n\nSoon after, Mr Trump faced accusations that he had pressured a foreign government to dig up dirt on Democratic rival Joe Biden. The allegations prompted a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry, and Mr Trump became just the third US president in history to be impeached.\n\nBut Mr Trump maintained his loyal base thanks to a number of campaign promises kept. Perhaps his most enduring legacy: nominating three right-wing justices to the Supreme Court, which will shape the country's policies for decades to come.\n\nHis 2020 election year was dominated by the coronavirus pandemic. He faced intense criticism for his handling of the crisis, as the US leads the globe in deaths and infections. The voracious campaigner was even forced to take a break from the trail in October, after he was diagnosed with Covid-19 himself.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. US President Donald Trump on Covid-19 in his own words\n\nHe eventually lost the election to Democratic rival Joe Biden, though Mr Trump received 74 million votes, more than any other presidential candidate except for Mr Biden, who got seven million more.\n\nBut Mr Trump's unsubstantiated allegations of widespread electoral fraud and claims that votes were stolen, made after the election, led to him making history of a different kind.\n\nHis historic second impeachment - a first for an American president - was on a charge that he incited a mob to storm the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021. That riot followed a \"Save America\" rally, which Mr Trump addressed, that was organised to challenge the result of the presidential election.\n\nThe former president was later acquitted by the Senate. Mr Trump has continued influence over the party despite some senior politicians distancing themselves recently, and has hinted he might consider running for a second term.", "The political retirement of Martin McGuinness on Thursday due to ill health marks the end of a remarkable journey. Perceived by some as a terrorist, others as a freedom fighter, he ended up a statesman, a journey similar to those previously made by other historical figures from Menachem Begin to Jomo Kenyatta and Nelson Mandela.\n\nIt also marks the closing of a chapter in Northern Ireland's turbulent history in which Mr McGuinness played a crucial role both as perhaps the most important IRA leader on the island of Ireland and one of its most skilled and charismatic politicians. Without his endeavours, in umbilical political partnership with his former comrade-in- arms, Gerry Adams, I doubt if Northern Ireland, despite the continuing fragility of its institutions, would be where it is today.\n\nI first met Martin McGuinness 45 years ago this month, shortly after the day that became notorious as Bloody Sunday when British paratroops shot dead 13 civil rights marchers in the Bogside enclave of Londonderry/Derry.\n\nI remember watching a candle-lit procession on its way to the church where the coffins of the dead were lying and being told by the nationalist politician, John Hume, to keep an eye on one of the mourners.\n\nHe pointed to Martin McGuinness. I followed his advice and soon met him on the steps of the gasworks that served as the IRA's headquarters in the Bogside. At the time he was second in command of the IRA's Derry Brigade. He was soon to become its commander.\n\nHe did not fit the stereotypical role of an IRA commander at the time. He was personable, highly articulate and utterly committed to his cause of getting the \"Brits\" out of the North.\n\nA few months later, following an IRA ceasefire, he was sitting down in a posh house in Chelsea, along with Gerry Adams, as part of the IRA delegation that met the Northern Ireland Secretary, Willie Whitelaw. The IRA said it wanted a British withdrawal by 1975. Not surprisingly, the talks got nowhere and it was back to the \"war\".\n\nIf anyone had looked into a crystal ball at that time and told me that the young IRA commander would go on to become Northern Ireland's deputy prime minister, sharing power and joking, as \"the chuckle brothers\" with his former arch enemy, Ian Paisley, and then would don white tie and tails to dine with the Queen at Windsor Castle, I would have said that pigs might fly. But pigs did.\n\n\"The chuckle brothers\" - Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness at the Northern Ireland Assembly, 2007\n\nMr McGuinness's role was critical in persuading the IRA's rank-and-file that \"armed struggle\" had run its course and the future road to Sinn Fein's holy grail of a united Ireland lay in sharing power at Stormont with its unionist opponents.\n\nThis was tantamount to accepting partition (the division of Ireland in 1922 into two states) and the role of the British state - albeit, as far as Sinn Fein is concerned, a temporary accommodation as a means to an end.\n\nRemarkably Mr Adams and Mr McGuinness finally persuaded the majority of the IRA to swallow the political heresy and agree to the ceasefire of 1994 that was to lead on to the Good Friday Agreement four years later.\n\nA measure of the faith and trust that rank-and-file IRA men and women had in Martin McGuinness is reflected in the sentiment I heard from many of them that \"if it's good enough for Martin, it's good enough for us\". Such sentiments speak volumes of Mr McGuinness and the esteem in which he was held as IRA leader.\n\nThese landmark steps were only made possible as a result of a protracted and fraught secret back-channel dialogue, via an intermediary, between MI6 and MI5 in which Mr McGuinness was the key conduit to the IRA's ruling Army Council.\n\nBut Mr McGuinness, because of his IRA past, remains a controversial figure. There are still some Unionists who would take issue with the tribute paid by Ian Paisley's son who said that by working with his father, Martin McGuinness had \"saved lives\" and \"made countless lives better\".\n\nHis critics can only see him as the former leader of a terrorist organisation responsible for a grievous toll of death and destruction. They will never forget - or forgive the IRA - for the lives of the hundreds of policemen, soldiers and civilians murdered in the IRA's campaign and the number of families who have been left bereft.\n\nBut for me, the true recognition of the journey Mr McGuinness has made came in an interview I did with the mother of Marie Wilson, the young woman who died in the IRA's bomb attack on the Remembrance Day parade in Enniskillen in 1987.\n\nThe intelligence services believe that Martin McGuinness, although he denies it, was at that time the acting head of the IRA's Northern Command that prosecuted the \"war\" in the North.\n\nIn words of moving candour, Mrs Wilson said she respected Mr McGuinness's role in helping to bring the conflict to end and making such attacks, she hoped, a thing of the past.\n• None McGuinness will not stand in NI election", "The last time tuition fees were increased there were waves of student protests\n\nHow much will it cost to get a degree in England when tuition fees increase to £9,250 in the autumn?\n\nIf that seems high for a three-year degree, that's how much a think tank has calculated a student could have to pay back with interest.\n\nAnd that wouldn't be the full size of the debt. There could be another £40,000 still outstanding when fee loans are written off after 30 years.\n\nWhen fees start increasing from this autumn, it will mean borrowing about £28,600 for three years, with the amount then rising with inflation each year.\n\nBut while students have battled for years over the headline figure of £9,000 and now £9,250, the Intergenerational Foundation says they're missing the much bigger picture of what it will really cost in repayments.\n\nAnd it's going to publish its findings in a report called The Packhorse Generation.\n\nThese extra costs start to rack up while a student is still at university, because interest is charged as soon as students start their courses, adding thousands to the debt before students have even graduated.\n\nStudents pay back fee loans from their earnings after graduation\n\nStudents start paying back their fee loans once they earn more than £21,000 per year - and the more they earn the more they pay each month, until the debt, plus interest, is cleared.\n\nSo this means total repayments can vary widely.\n\nThe think tank, which campaigns for fairness between generations, forecasts that:\n\nA more likely scenario is that a graduate would start on a lower salary and gradually progress upwards.\n\nAnd the think tank gives an example of someone starting out on £22,000 and then rising over the years to £41,000, with the projection that they would pay back about £31,000 and leave a further £69,000 unpaid.\n\nThese are not necessarily bad deals for students if it helps them into a good career.\n\nBut Estelle Clarke, a former City lawyer on the advisory board of the Intergenerational Foundation, argues that we're failing to understand the \"stranglehold\" of debt that we're building up for young people.\n\nShe also warns we should be looking nervously at the vast scale of write-offs in the current system.\n\nWould the sell-off of student loans mean tougher terms?\n\nAt present the taxpayer picks up the tab for unpaid loans after 30 years, allowing graduates to walk away from tens of thousands of pounds of debt and interest charges.\n\n\"Taxpayers end up paying for this system twice over. Firstly, they will shoulder the burden of an economy deprived of cash as millions of graduates' incomes are diverted to loan repayments,\" says Ms Clarke.\n\n\"And secondly, they shoulder the burden of the non-repayment of most loans due to the extortionate ratcheting up of interest in spite of regular payments made.\"\n\nBut the government has long considered selling off more of the student loan book to the private financial sector.\n\nWould a private operator, looking hungrily at monthly repayments from millions of graduates, want more favourable terms and a bigger slice of that unpaid debt?\n\nMs Clarke warns that there is not nearly enough protection for students against future changes to repayment arrangements to \"extract even more cash from graduates' pockets\".\n\n\"No other lending has so little protection,\" she says.\n\nNew York plans to offer free tuition to middle-income families\n\nBy international standards, the only real comparison for such levels of student borrowing is the United States.\n\nBut as England is increasing the cost of tuition, the US has been trying to reverse out of a spiral of higher fees and higher debt.\n\nThis month the governor of New York announced a plan to scrap tuition fees at state universities and colleges for families earning up to $125,000 (£102,000) per year, which would help 80% of households.\n\nIt reflected deep-seated middle class anxieties about student debt - especially for families not rich enough to afford the fees and not poor enough to get financial support.\n\nThis really can be a lifetime of debt, with warnings this month of aggressive tactics from lenders trying to recover student loans from pensioners, with the over-60s in the US still owing £55bn of student debt.\n\nUnder the Obama administration there had been growing efforts to tackle student debt.\n\nBut with the election of President Trump the future of student loans, now measured in the trillions, has become much less predictable.\n\nThe Department for Education argues that England's system is already extremely accessible, because there are no upfront costs for any students.\n\nInstead the costs are backloaded to be paid after graduates are working.\n\nAnd since graduates are likely to earn more, they can afford the cost of repayments, which in turn supports the next generation of students.\n\n\"The English system of student funding is sustainable, and has been recognised as such by the OECD,\" said a Department for Education spokeswoman.\n\n\"Critically, our system removes financial barriers for anyone hoping to study - with record numbers of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university last year.\"\n\nBut this is something of a turning point - with fees and debts about to begin a long upward curve.

Since re-entering the assembly he has been a member of both the Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee and the Public Accounts Committee.\n\nHealth Minister Michelle O'Neill has held various senior positions within Sinn Féin.\n\nShe has worked in the Assembly since 1998, initially as political adviser to MP and former MLA Francie Molloy, before being elected to Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council in 2005.\n\nAs health minister since May 2016, tackling mounting hospital waiting lists has been a huge task for Mrs O'Neill\n\nMrs O'Neill was elected to the assembly for the Mid Ulster constituency in 2007, sitting on the education committee and serving as Sinn Féin's health spokesperson.\n\nIn 2011, she was appointed as minister for agriculture and rural development.\n\nThe following year, she announced that the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) would move to a former British army barracks in Ballykelly, County Londonderry.\n\nFollowing the announcement, it came to light that Strabane had been chosen as a more suitable location by an internal DARD assessment, a decision that Mrs O'Neill then overruled.\n\nIn February 2013, it was also revealed that the decision had been questioned by the Finance Minister Sammy Wilson.\n\nAs health minister since 2016, tackling mounting hospital waiting lists have been a huge task for Mrs O'Neill.\n\nIn October, she launched a 10-year plan to transform health service, saying it would improve a system that was at \"breaking point\".\n\nOpposition politicians questioned the lack of details in the plan, which was not costed.\n\nBut it set out a range of priorities, including a new model of care involving a team of professionals based around GP surgeries.\n\nMáirtín Ó Muilleoir has previously been a writer, journalist and publisher of the Belfast Media Group newspapers and the Irish Echo in New York.\n\nMáirtín Ó Muilleoir became finance minister in May 2016\n\nThe former west Belfast councillor served as Lord Mayor of Belfast from June 2013-June 2014 and was broadly praised for reaching out to unionists, despite attacks by loyalist protestors.\n\nMr Ó Muilleoir subsequently stood unsuccessfully as Sinn Féin's candidate for South Belfast in the 2015 Westminster election, but was returned in the Stormont Assembly election of May 2016.\n\nAs finance minister, he was the first Sinn Féin minister to hold a major economic brief in the Northern Ireland Assembly.\n\nHis role has included leading the implementation of the devolution of corporation tax, due to happen in 2018.\n\nHowever, he became embroiled in controversy in 2016 when news emerged about a back channel of communication between a Stormont committee chairman and a witness who was giving evidence on the Nama property loan sale.\n\nMr Ó Muilleoir denied knowledge of alleged coaching of loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson by finance committee chair Daithí McKay before his appearance.", "Scientists are hoping to create a smart patch which could detect the early onset of osteoarthritis in patients' knees.\n\nCardiff University's team uses damage sensors from aircraft wings to catch subsonic cracking sounds in joints before the disease fully develops.\n\nThey believe a disposable patch using them could save expensive diagnosis and treatment of advanced osteoarthritis.\n\nDr Davide Crivelli, of the School of Engineering, explains how it could work.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSon Heung-Min earned Tottenham a point in controversial circumstances as they came from two goals down to earn a draw at Manchester City.\n\nPep Guardiola's side, looking to bounce back from a 4-0 loss at Everton, had swept into that commanding advantage courtesy of two uncharacteristic errors from Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.\n\nFrance international Lloris headed an attempted clearance straight at Leroy Sane four minutes after half-time to allow the City attacker a simple finish, then dropped Raheem Sterling's routine cross straight at Kevin De Bruyne's feet five minutes later.\n\nSpurs responded swiftly through Dele Alli's header before they were the beneficiaries of a decision that left Guardiola raging and paved the way for the visitors to scramble a point.\n\nReferee Andre Marriner ignored Kyle Walker's push on Sterling as he raced into the area - and seconds later Son swept a low finish past City keeper Claudio Bravo with 13 minutes left.\n\nCity pressed for a winner but were frustrated once more when Brazilian teenager Gabriel Jesus, on as for his debut as a substitute for Sterling, saw an effort ruled out for offside.\n\nThe result means Man City remain fifth, three points off second-place Tottenham and nine away from leaders Chelsea, who play Hull City on Sunday.\n\nCity boss Guardiola will have few complaints about the manner of their performance but they were let down by the familiar failing of a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal.\n\nCity played with verve and intensity as they penned Spurs back, but Sergio Aguero was frustrated on several occasions by Lloris, Pablo Zabaleta shot inches wide, Sterling missed that vital opportunity after he was fouled. New boy Jesus also headed inches wide.\n\nGuardiola's animated body language spoke of his frustration - but there was also fury at the key incident - Sterling was shoved by Walker in the area seconds before Spurs attacked for Son to equalise.\n\nHe had every right to be angry. City deserved victory and for all the justified criticism aimed in their direction, there was not too much wrong with this performance.\n\nManchester City's Bravo provided the pre-match narrative with his growing reputation as the goalkeeper who rarely makes a save - but it was the man regarded as one of Europe's finest who was almost the real villain of the piece here.\n\nBravo was again the goalkeeping bystander as he extended his miserable recent sequence, but Tottenham's Lloris suffered a rare nightmare display and takes responsibility for both City goals.\n\nHe should have done better than head a routine long ball against Sane for the opener, while his fumble that led to De Bruyne's second was the sort of work he would normally complete without a second thought.\n\nBravo was powerless for the Spurs goals - although today's two goals make it 16 from the last 24 attempts on target against him - but Lloris' misfortune was proof of how matches, and the the reputation of even the best goalkeepers, can be decided by the finest margins.\n\nLloris has saved Spurs on many occasions but today he was saved by his colleagues.\n\nMauricio Pochettino's side would not put this display anywhere near the top of any list of their best performances this season - but they may come to regard this as a priceless point earned without playing well.\n\nSpurs were over-run for much of the game, unsettled in possession by the pressure applied by City, but showed resilience and determination to get a draw they barely deserved.\n\nThey were also grateful for City's generosity in front of goal as they wasted as succession of chances, and to referee Marriner for refusing what appeared to be a clear penalty when Walker shoved Sterling as he raced clear in what proved to be a decisive moment.\n\nSpurs' travelling fans celebrated as if this was a victory at the final whistle.

T2 Trainspotting: What would you choose?\n\nT2 Trainspotting has received broadly positive reviews from critics, although many noted it will not have the same impact as the original.\n\nThe sequel to 1996's Trainspotting sees most of the original cast reunited with director Danny Boyle.\n\nKate Muir of The Times said the film was \"like riding a tragi-comic wave\".\n\n\"The original actors have matured well, and while the lunatic enthusiasm of their youth has disappeared, they give their nuanced all here,\" she added.\n\nBased on the Irvine Welsh novel Porno, T2 Trainspotting is set in the present day with the main characters now in middle age.\n\nEwan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremner have all reprised their roles for the new film.\n\nWriting in The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw said: \"Reuniting the cast of Trainspotting for a new adventure 21 years on could have gone badly.\n\n\"But Boyle and his four musketeers give it just the right frantic, jaded energy and manic anxiety.\"\n\nHe added that while \"T2 isn't as good as T1\", it \"has the same punchy energy, the same defiant pessimism, and there's nothing around like this\".\n\nDanny Boyle (far right) directed both the original Trainspotting and the sequel\n\nBoyle's masterstroke is to tackle the passing of time head-on. Where the characters in the original film were blissfully insouciant about their self-destructive hedonism, they are here all too aware of the cul-de-sacs and dead ends at which they've now arrived.\n\nThey are, to quote T2's most striking line, \"tourists in their own youth\" - a description that applies just as much to the audience member who goes to the film hoping to have the same giddy high they experienced two decades ago.\n\nOverall, is it as good as the original? The answer is no - but it comes pretty darn close.\n\nHowever, The Scotsman's Alistair Harkness was less positive about the film, awarding it three stars.\n\n\"The best that can be said about the new film is that it hasn't completely tarnished the original,\" he wrote.\n\n\"Boyle's frenetic, collage-like directing style gives the film a trying-too-hard feel and even though some of it does jolt T2 to life, the cast doesn't always have the emotional range to make it cohere.\"\n\nThe original cast have reunited for T2 Trainspotting\n\nThe Telegraph's Robbie Collin also gave the movie three stars.\n\n\"There's no chance of its successor matching that legacy, but it won't tarnish it either. Though the film feeds on its forerunner, it's worthwhile on its own terms,\" he said.\n\nThe Hollywood Reporter's Neil Young wrote: \"T2 never threatens to find its own distinctive voice.\"\n\nHe also pointed out the female characters \"are very much on the sidelines, even more so than in Trainspotting\".\n\n\"Kelly MacDonald pops up for a one-scene, two-minute cameo (which nevertheless somehow nabs her fifth billing),\" he said.\n\nBut the Scottish Daily Record's Chris Hunneysett was more positive, calling the film \"an addictive hit of pure cinema\".\n\nHe said that while it \"won't capture the youthful zeitgeist the way Trainspotting did\", Boyle \"has created an unapologetically abrasive tale of longevity, loyalty and friendship\".\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

What is its secret?\n\nThe life of a teacher in a Shanghai primary school differs quite a bit from that of teachers in most other countries. For one thing each teacher specialises in a particular subject - if you teach maths, you teach only maths.\n\nThese specialist teachers are given at least five years of training targeted at specific age groups, during which they gain a deep understanding both of their subject and of how children learn.\n\nAfter qualifying, primary school teachers will typically take just two lessons per day, spending the rest of their time assisting students who require extra help and discussing teaching techniques with colleagues.\n\n\"If you compare that to an English practitioner in a primary school now, they might have five days of training in their initial teacher training year, if they're doing the School Direct route, for example,\" says Ben McMullen, head teacher of Ashburnham Community School, London.\n\n\"They might have some follow-up training during the first or second year of training - inset, staff meetings etcetera - but there's no comparison between the expertise of someone who's had five years of training in a specific subject to someone who's had only a handful of days.\"\n\nIt's a similar story in secondary school, where teachers spend less time in the classroom with pupils than they do on planning and refining lessons.\n\nThere are other differences too. School days are longer - from 07:00 until 16:00 or 17:00. Class sizes are larger. And lessons are shorter - each is 35 minutes long, followed by 15 minutes of unstructured play.\n\nThere is no streaming according to ability and every student must understand before the teacher moves on. In the early years of school basic arithmetic is covered more slowly than in the UK, says McMullen, who has travelled to Shanghai in one of the groups of British teachers sent every year by the Department of Education to watch and learn.\n\n\"They looked at our curriculum and were horrified by how much we were trying to teach,\" he says.\n\n\"They wouldn't teach fractions until year four or five. By that time, they assume that the children were very fluent in multiplication and division.\n\n\"This is essentially a 'teaching for mastery' approach: covering less and making smaller incremental movements forward, ensuring the class move together as one and that you go over stuff again and again until it's truly understood.\"\n\nIn a world where a lot is going wrong there is also a lot going right. So what if you could build a country with policies that actually worked, by homing in on ideas around the world that have been truly successful?\n\nIt seems that other cities in mainland China may not be on quite the same level as Shanghai. In the 2015 Pisa test Shanghai was bundled together with Beijing, Jiangsu and Guangdong, and they jointly came fifth in maths, behind Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.\n\nIt's also been suggested that Shanghai's results in previous years could have been skewed by the failure to include about a quarter of pupils in the city. However Pisa insists its results demonstrate that the children of menial workers in Shanghai outperform the children of professionals in the West.\n\nThis is one of the key attractions of the system - it helps poor children realise their potential, increasing social mobility. But there are also drawbacks, according to Henrietta Moore of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London.\n\n\"The idea there is that effort brings rewards and so you will get this totally driven sort of idea but what you don't get - and what Chinese maths teachers are currently grappling with - is this creative problem-solving that requires space and mulling and dwelling,\" she says.\n\n\"We're actually much better at this in the UK and they're trying to develop that and learn from us.\"\n\nAnother criticism of the system is that parents work children too hard. An estimated 80% of students receive private lessons outside school.\n\n\"One of the downsides of parental interest in education is they get competitive - they're more competitive than the children - so they want to have all these extra classes,\" says Moore.\n\nSo is this a system other countries would do well to adopt?\n\n\"I would adopt the idea that anyone who teaches maths needs a deep understanding of the conceptual building of maths and a deep understanding of how children learn that,\" says Anne Watson, emeritus professor of maths teaching at Oxford University. \"I would also want to take on board the idea of high expectations for everyone.\"\n\n\"Two things really appeal to me about this,\" she says. \"The idea that everyone can be more of a maths master than I think we believe here in the UK. I also really like the incredible attention to the micro-detail. I'm really interested in this notion of incrementalism and moving things on in small chunks.\n\n\"The fundamentals of this policy are right and it's incredibly inspiring to think everybody can become more freed up by maths.\"\n\nBen McMullen's primary school has already been borrowing some of Shanghai's ideas, he says.\n\nThere is no streaming, pupils are interacting more and there is a \"different atmosphere\" in class.\n\n\"The younger learners moving up the school have an incredibly robust sense of maths, calculation and of concept,\" McMullen says.\n\nAnd for teachers there is another great upside, he says - less marking.\n\nJoin the conversation - find the BBC World Service on Facebook and Twitter.", "A mother from London has created a Jamaican Patois-speaking doll because she could not find a toy for her daughter that reflected her Jamaican heritage.\n\nToya was developed by Saffron Jackson, from Greenwich, who wanted the doll to look and sound like her daughter.\n\nIt was launched six weeks ago and sales have been booming.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSirli Freitas took one, final phone call from her husband Cleberson Silva before he had to switch off his phone.\n\n\"There was so much background noise,\" she said. \"So much laughter and fun.\n\n\"I said, 'are you really on a plane, or in a bar?'\"\n\nJournalist Silva was on a plane that went down in the Andes on 29 November. He was one of 71 people who died along with almost the entire Chapecoense football team.\n\nThe players were en route to the biggest match in the club's 43-year history, the final of the Copa Sudamericana against Colombia's Atletico Nacional.\n\nOn Saturday, Chapecoense will play their first match since the crash - a friendly against defending Brazilian league champions Palmeiras.\n\nThe people of Chapeco will, once-again, fill the small Arena Conda to see some of the 22 new players who make up the squad.\n\nThree of the six survivors were players, including central defender Neto, who was one of the team's leaders.\n\nHe lay for six hours, trapped beneath the fuselage and trees, before being the last to be pulled out.\n\n\"I remember the lights went out suddenly, then I started praying, asking God to help us,\" he said. \"But a lot of people thought the plane was just landing, because it was not an abrupt fall.\n\n\"I remember the moment that I couldn't hear the plane engine anymore. It was just the wind, and then an alarm.\n\n\"But no-one got desperate, there was a lot of people praying. These are the last memories I have.\"\n\nWhen Neto woke up in hospital, he was told he had been injured in the match because nobody knew quite how to break the news to him.\n\nBut the truth dawned on him when there were no video clips of the match or evidence of his injury.\n\nChapeco is a quiet, unassuming city with an air of settled contentment. Its population of about 209,553 is only slightly higher than the number of people who crammed into the Maracana Stadium to watch the 1950 World Cup final between Uruguay and Brazil.\n\nBut they form a tight-knit community, and a major part of that is the Chapecoense football team.\n\nClub flags and signs adorn shops and bars all over the city.\n\nThe relationship between citizens and club is one of mutual and humble respect and affection, according to 41-year-old Karina Dini.\n\n\"It was a strong bond, we were all a family,\" she said, sitting in the office of the language school she runs with her husband.\n\n\"There weren't any players who were going to parties or anything. Most of them were very committed. We could meet them in restaurants or the supermarket.\n\n\"It was amazing because players from the first division don't get that contact with people. They have big cars, they can't talk to people.\"\n\nLike Karina, whose husband's uncle died in the crash, most people here know someone who was on the plane, or someone, like Sirli Freitas, who's been affected directly.\n\n\"My eight-year-old son understands [what happened], but his sister, who's three, still asks for her dad even though she knows he's not here any more,\" she said, through tears.\n\n\"If you ask her about him, she says that he was on the plane that crashed, but but at other times she'll say, 'let's call daddy'.\"\n\nOutside the Arena Conda, there's a message to the world: \"We were looking for a word to say thanks for all the love we've received, and we found several.\"\n\nAround the stadium, the streets have been painted green and white, in the club's colours.\n\nThere has been a steady procession of press conferences, introducing some of the 22 new players. Rui Costa was brought in from Brazilian club Gremio and made director of football a week after the tragedy.\n\nCosta is adamant that Saturday's match is far more than a friendly.\n\n\"When I got here we had four players and a devastated dressing room.

So we have accomplished our first goal - you can see a football team training here.\"\n\n\"We had a list with 90 names that we were interested in,\" he said, as he explained how he assembled the squad in less than two months.\n\n\"We were choosing based on technical characteristics, then behaviour, then salary.\n\n\"We were working almost 24 hours a day because we knew it was not about just putting them on the pitch to play together.\n\n\"We had to respect the culture of the club. That's what they hired me for.\"\n\nThe last time the people of Chapeco went to the Arena Conda, it was on a day of torrential rain, to receive the bodies of their players, directors and journalists.\n\nOn Saturday, they will return, to honour the city's fallen, and to meet their new family.", "Twitter says it's trying to fix \"complications\" with the switchover of the @Potus account.\n\nThe account for the President of the United States was handed over to Donald Trump on Friday and was supposed to keep its existing followers.\n\nThose users were also meant to automatically follow a new archive account with the Obama administration's tweets - @Potus44.\n\nBut some claim they've not been moved over.\n\nOthers say they stopped following @Potus before the inauguration, but are now re-following the account even though they didn't choose to do so.\n\nThere are even claims some people who never followed Obama or Trump are automatically following Donald Trump as @Potus.\n\nThe White House had been working with Twitter on plans for the switchover for some time.\n\nBefore the inauguration on Thursday night, @Potus under Barack Obama had 13.6 million followers.\n\n@Potus44 now has 14.2 million and @Potus under President Trump has 14.3 million.\n\nIt's unclear if it's down to new followers or a glitch.\n\nIt's been reported Twitter blames the complications on two scenarios.\n\nIt could be that those who blocked @Potus before the inauguration effectively blocked @Potus44 (because of workings going on behind the scenes at Twitter).\n\nAnother suggestion is that some unfollowed @Potus after Twitter had already counted them as a follower to be transferred over to Donald Trump's account.\n\nTwitter previously told Newsbeat both @Potus and @Potus44 should end up with around 13 million followers after the transfer process.

Also, the current plan is for 22% of new developments to be starter homes, which would mean one million suitable homes being built by 2020 - that would be a significant acceleration of house building.\n\nThe government announced on Tuesday that it had given the go-ahead for the construction of thousands of starter homes.\n\nStarter homes are new homes built for first-time buyers between 23 and 40 years old, sold at least 20% below market value.

Essentially, developers will have to agree that of every five homes they build, one will have to be a starter home.\n\nIn a recent consultation the government said under the new system at least 22% of all new builds would be starter homes. That means almost one million new homes would have to be built by 2020 to hit the government's 200,000 target.\n\nIn 2015, there were a total of 170,730 new homes built, which would not be enough over three years, even if all of them gave 22% as starter homes.\n\nBut perhaps the May government will drop the commitment made under David Cameron or there will be another route to the creation of starter homes in the forthcoming White Paper.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Video has been released of the mountain rescue of a couple who went missing overnight in \"Arctic\" conditions.\n\nThe GoPro footage was shot by the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team who located the couple, both in their 50s, in the Cairngorm Plateau.\n\nThe couple are thought to be from England.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester United defender Phil Jones \"made a meal\" of the challenge for which West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli was controversially sent off, says Hammers boss Slaven Bilic.\n\nWest Ham played for 75 minutes with 10 men after Feghouli was shown a straight red card by referee Mike Dean.\n\nManchester United went on to win 2-0, their sixth straight league victory.\n\n\"It was not a red card.

The result was a professional studio-style portrait.\n\n\"I thought maybe if we do eye-contact, if we photograph animals where there are no distractions, all equal in size on black and white backgrounds, where a mouse is every bit as big and amazing as an elephant, then maybe we could get the public hooked into the plight of endangered species and extinction,\" he says.\n\nAs Sartore's wife recovered, he began to travel to other zoos in his area to take more portraits.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

For the larger ones, he remained reliant on the safer environment of zoos.\n\n\"This animal was the sweetest little guy.

Sartore took Toughie's portrait shortly before he also died, in September this year.\n\n\"I try to talk about him every time I give public presentations because instead of getting depressed about him going extinct, I'm going to use his story to hopefully inspire others to care,\" he says.\n\nSartore has also photographed one of the last surviving northern white rhinos in a zoo in the Czech Republic.\n\n\"We got to her just in time,\" he says of the animal, who was called Nabire.\n\n\"We got a very nice portrait of her and she laid down and went to sleep at the end of the shoot because she slept a lot at the end of her life.\"\n\nShe died about a week later.\n\nWith her death, and the death of another northern white rhino in San Diego not long afterwards, there are only three of the species left, all living under armed-guard in Kenya. They are too old to breed, though a conservation project is attempting to create an embryo through IVF which would be implanted in the womb of a similar rhino species.\n\n\"It's not just the little things we're allowing to slip into extinction,\" says Sartore.\n\n\"It's the big stuff too, unfortunately.\"\n\nSartore hopes his project will eventually document 12,000 species and become a resource for future generations. He also hopes it will prevent other species from meeting the same fate as Toughie and Nola.\n\n\"At least 75-80% of the species that I've photographed could be saved from extinction, but people need to know they exist first and they need to fall in love with them and want to learn how they can help them,\" he says.\n\nWhile there's an understanding that bigger animals, like polar bears and tigers, are under threat, Sartore says there is not enough awareness of the plight of smaller ones like rodents, toads and bats.\n\n\"The goal of Photo Ark is to celebrate all creatures great and small and to let people know that as these other species go away, so could we,\" he says.\n\n\"It's in humanity's interest not to throw away all of creation - to keep things around so we have a healthy planet.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSagna was booked in the match for an altercation with George Boyd immediately after Burnley's goal Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has been asked by the Football Association to explain the \"10 against 12\" Instagram post he made after his side's 2-1 win over Burnley on Monday.

While with Maastricht it was the Eurosceptics that were causing merry Hell, now it is likely to be diehard Remainers who will man any \"awkward squad\".\n\nWill the Three Brexiteers all still be in cabinet by the end of 2017?\n\nOf the \"Three Brexiteers\" at the top of government, Mr Davis has had the best write-ups so far for his command of the task at hand. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have not slipped into their new roles so easily.\n\nTheresa May's relationship with Mr Johnson will be interesting to watch throughout 2017.\n\nShe has seen fit to mock him and very publicly slap him down. It has been suggested that he is not happy about continuously being the butt of jokes, and the two of them are hardly natural bedfellows.\n\nPerhaps that's why bookmakers make Liam Fox and him the favourites to be the first minister to leave the Cabinet.\n\nAlthough Brexit will dominate, Theresa May has a broader agenda.\n\nIn education, for example, the forced \"academisation\" of all schools is out and grammars are back in. She has also promised to develop a new industrial strategy to create \"an economy that works for everyone\".\n\nAgain, her small majority in Parliament could put her at the mercy of awkward backbenchers. Former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan leads a group of MPs who could be prepared to block grammar schools.\n\nAnd some of the more free market-oriented Conservatives won't like policies that look like government meddling in business.\n\nThere is one way that the prime minister could take arms against a sea of troubles.\n\nDespite saying she will stick to the planned 2020 date, the Fixed Terms Parliament Act allows for an early vote if two thirds of MPs back an early general election.\n\nJeremy Corbyn says that Labour would support such a move so the numbers would be there.\n\nIf Mrs May felt she was being stymied in her efforts to negotiate the best Brexit deal for Britain, she could change her mind and let the country issue its verdict.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "While black dolls can be bought online, they are absent from the shelves of many British toy stores\n\nAn internet search for black dolls will bring up about 20 million results in less than a second - but parents have discovered the toys to be increasingly hard to find on the shelves of High Street stores.

If they don't, it could affect our children, because they grow up having been affected by all sorts of things.\"\n\nA dark-skinned doll, carried by Johnathan Thurston's daughter Frankie at last year's Australian Rugby League final, was seen as a moment of inclusion and diversity\n\nDespite the revolution of internet shopping, some families' finances do not stretch as far as a bespoke broadband package - and on the High Street, they can find their retail options are significantly reduced.\n\nAbbey Rose, 32, who has 11-year-old and four-year-old girls and a three-year-old boy, said a lack of black dolls could stunt a child's emotional development, leading them to be \"less affectionate\".\n\n\"My four-year-old daughter said she wanted a baby doll for Christmas,\" said the black mother-of-three from Nottingham.\n\n\"I said: 'Do you want a white or black one?' She said a white one because 'they were prettier'.\"\n\nAbbey Potter, pictured with daughter Sofia-Lily, has called on toy manufacturers to \"evolve\" and produce more black dolls\n\nBut why are black dolls and toys absent from the shelves of many stores in the UK? Is the demand just not there?\n\nCensus data for 2011 from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed a population in England and Wales of 56,075,912. About 14% of these people are from non-white backgrounds - so is that enough of a market for toy companies to make big bucks?\n\nGiven that estimated 14% equates to nearly eight million people, the answer would seemingly be yes. Additionally, this somewhat unscientific calculation is assuming white parents solely buy white dolls for their children.\n\nWhile most people in England and Wales are from white backgrounds, parents believe there is more than enough demand for a greater number of black toys to feature on the shelves of high street stores\n\nBut it would appear that a lack of demand is the underlying narrative from toy firms in the UK.\n\nAn email sent in October 2015 by an executive at Zapf Creation - the firm behind the famous Baby Born and Baby Annabell dolls - said the sales of an ethnic version of its Baby Annabell went \"step-by-step down\" from 1998 to 2013.\n\nThe executive said at the end of 2013 it was decided that production of this doll would stop as of 2014.\n\n\"As a public limited company, we are forced to make decisions like that if business figures do not justify to keep a product in the range,\" the executive said.\n\nA Zapf Creation spokeswoman told the BBC: \"Whilst the black version of the Baby Annabell doll was discontinued due to lack of demand, the black version of the Baby Born Interactive doll is still in production and available to all UK toy retailers. However, some retailers take the decision not to stock all versions of the dolls and accessories due to shelf space constraints.\"\n\nLecturer Sheine Peart said white dolls and ethnic dolls should be \"side by side\" on the shelves\n\nSpeaking at the annual Toy Fair in London, Peter Ireland, from Bigjigs Toys Ltd, said the importance of black dolls was clear, but added a firm's ability to sell them might depend on the company's size.\n\n\"There's no reason why we shouldn't stock black dolls... we have far more white dolls in our range as the sales on these are greater than those of black dolls, but if we don't stock any then people are never going to get black dolls,\" he said.\n\n\"If you're [a business that is] all over the world, then you've got a bigger market, but if you're just in the UK, your market's a bit limited.\"\n\nNumerous toy companies were contacted several times by the BBC.

Some critics have argued this is putting profit over the importance of what children need to see.\"\n\nAccurately representing physical features is just as important as offering dolls of different skin colours, according to the Race Equality Foundation's Jane Lane\n\nJane Lane, from the Race Equality Foundation, believes the issues are not solely to do with colour.\n\n\"The key issues, I think, are not only a range of skin colour differences but accurate depictions of physical features,\" she said. \"Mouth, lip shapes, nose and eye shapes and hair texture.\n\n\"The main point about black dolls is they are, for a child, white or black, a true three-dimensional representation of real people - unlike book pictures and jigsaws.\n\n\"They need to be accurate because our society is... racist and dolls need to counter this by being positive and not stereotypical of some mythical concept.\"\n\nToy manufacturers should work closely with local communities to properly assess demand, says lecturer Sheine Peart\n\nSheine Peart, a lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, said a lack of black dolls \"marginalises\" black children.\n\n\"If I want to have black figures, Lego figures provide that, as do Playmobil, and I can buy a black Barbie and a black male doll called Steve - who's the equivalent of Ken,\" she said.\n\n\"I can buy them, but I have to hunt them out if I want to buy them as a parent. I've never seen this black Steve anywhere but I've seen Kens in the shops - it should almost be side by side.\n\n\"If there's a black child, and they see no black toys, it almost creates a colonial environment and that effectively says, 'there's no place for me'.\n\n\"It positions the black child as an outsider and not integral to society. It marginalises them. Psychologically, that probably will have some impact.\"\n\nMs Peart has called on schools across the country to help kick-start a change.\n\n\"The dolls need to be marketed more, displayed more and advertised more, and supermarkets can't put them on the shelves unless the manufacturers are producing them,\" she said.\n\n\"I'd like to see schools ensure they have a stock that is available and a stock that is replenished.\n\n\"I would also like to see manufacturers work with youth groups, schools and other members of community groups so they can find out [the need].

and while it continues to enjoy a resurgence, sales of CDs and downloads are falling rapidly.\n\nA total of 47.3 million CDs were bought in 2016, a drop of 11.7%; while downloads plummeted by 29.6%, with just 18.1 million albums bought online.\n\nFour years ago, when the download market was at its peak, that figure was 32.6 million. Now, consumers are increasingly turning to streaming services.\n\nAccording to the BPI, there were approximately 45 billion audio streams in 2016 - the equivalent of the UK's 27 million households each listening to 1,500 songs over the course of the year.\n\nIn December, more than a billion streams were served in a single week for the first time. To put that in context, the UK is now streaming more songs in a week than it did in a month just three years ago.\n\nAdditionally, the BPI's figures do not account for music listened to on YouTube because the Official Chart Company does not collect data from Google's video streaming service.\n\nHowever, it is estimated that if YouTube was included, the figure for streams accessed by music fans in the UK would double.\n\nDrake dominated the streaming charts with his album Views and hit single One Dance\n\nThe most popular artists of 2016 were Adele and Coldplay, who outsold all their competitors, despite not releasing new material.\n\nAdele's 25, which came out in November 2015, was the year's biggest-seller (not counting compilations), shifting 753,000 copies. Coldplay were in second place with A Head Full of Dreams, which racked up 512,000 sales.\n\nMichael Ball and Alfie Boe released the most successful new album of the year, selling 512,000 copies of their record Together in just five weeks and topping the Christmas chart.\n\nTheir sales victory was something of a surprise, given that they went up against high-profile new releases from the likes of Robbie Williams, Emeli Sande, Little Mix and Olly Murs.\n\nThe year's biggest single was Drake's One Dance, which accumulated more than 141 million streams, while Justin Bieber's Purpose was 2016's most-streamed album.\n\nOverall, the music market grew by 1.5% over the course of 2016, achieving an estimated retail value of £1bn.\n\nVinyl has now enjoyed nine consecutive years of growth since facing near extinction in 2007.

Even our closest ape cousins, chimpanzees, do not go through it. Their fertility peters out with age and, in the wild, they seldom live beyond childbearing years.\n\nFollowing Granny and other matriarch killer whales has shown their crucial role within the family group. They guide the pod as it forages, take care of other females' young calves and even feed the larger males.\n\nThese post-reproductive female leaders help their families to survive, and the advantage they offer could show what drives a species to evolve to stop reproducing.\n\nAn older female orca leads the way with her pod trailing behind\n\nThis research continues, but an icon of the most well-studied killer whale population on the planet will no longer be part of it.\n\nProf Darren Croft from the University of Exeter, UK, who leads this evolutionary biology research, told BBC News: \"It was inevitable that this day was going to come but it is very sad news and a further blow to this population.\"\n\nHe explained that in her later years she had \"been helping her family group to survive by sharing her knowledge of when and where to find food.\"\n\nThe orcas of an area known as the Salish Sea - close to Vancouver and Seattle - have been the subject of a four decades long study led by Dr Ken Balcomb from the Center for Whale Research (CWR).\n\nDr Balcomb started this work after a period - between 1965 and 1975 - during which killer whales were taken from the Salish Sea to supply marine parks.

City were leading 1-0 at half-time but collapsed in the second half, falling to a fifth defeat in seven games.\n\nHull will next play fellow strugglers Swansea in the FA Cup third round before taking on Manchester United in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals on 10 January.\n\nIt has been a tumultuous season for the club, which is up for sale. In July, Bruce left as manager after gaining promotion to the Premier League with a breakdown in his relationship with vice-chairman Ehab Allam contributing to his departure.\n\nAt the beginning of the season injuries had left the Tigers with only 13 fit senior players although Phelan, while in temporary charge, did begin the campaign with successive league wins.\n\nVictories have been harder to come by since September, however, and with fellow strugglers Swansea and Crystal Palace sacking their managers over Christmas, Phelan paid the price as newly promoted Hull attempt to maintain their Premier League status.\n\nStoke manager Mark Hughes, whose team beat Watford 2-0 on Tuesday, said: \"Mike got the job under difficult circumstances and I thought recent performances had markedly improved, so it showed he was having an impact.\n\n\"He's a great football guy, but that's the Premier League for you - it's ruthless and sometimes, at this time of year, owners get panicky.\"\n\nThe dash to avoid the drop from the Premier League has claimed another victim with Hull City's sacking of Mike Phelan.\n\nPhelan has gone the same way as Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace and Bob Bradley at Swansea City as further evidence that patience simply does not - indeed some clubs feel it cannot - exist when the threat of relegation looms.\n\nAnd yet here is a manager who took his time to accept the Hull job when contenders were hardly queuing outside the door of the KC Stadium and after being named Premier League manager of the month in August.\n\nPhelan has also guided Hull to the EFL Cup semi-final against his former club Manchester United but this has simply not figured in the club's calculations when weighed against the fact they are bottom of the table with only 13 points from 20 games.\n\nPhelan has hardly had massive backing in the transfer market and in many games Hull actually played well without getting points on the board.

Call me a cynic but I don't see that being the centre of many kids' world throughout all of 2017.\n\nHow long will the Hatchimals remain a favourite?\n\nOf course, if you are willing to spend that kind of money to give your children just what they want for Christmas, fair enough, but for environmental experts the real cost is more significant.\n\nSuch toys are often very hard to recycle, and a lot could be done to change that, says Margaret Bates, professor of sustainable waste management at Northampton University.\n\n\"Eighty per cent of waste is generated at the design stage, so if we can start thinking of the end of life when we are designing things we will get a much better recovery rate,\" she says.\n\n\"Just even using fewer screws or making sure that you keep materials separate, so that you can use plastic and metal but not stick them together.\"\n\nThis TV could be repaired if it went wrong...\n\nThe technology even exists to go much further, adds Prof Bates: \"There are also some clever things that you can do like putting things in the microwave or expose them to a special light source and all the fixtures and fittings will snap off, they just fall apart.\"\n\nThat, of course, makes recycling much easier.\n\nThe trouble is, not many toys or presents are designed that way, even some wrapping paper is not recyclable.\n\n...but if this X-Box controller malfunctions, you might just throw it away\n\nThe trend away from repairing, recycling or reusing seems to be getting worse but it has been going on for years, according to Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum in London.\n\n\"Ever since the 1920s and an American advertising man called Elmo Calkins, who suggested it was the duty of the consumer to use stuff up to get us out of the [Great] Depression, there has been the concept of built-in obsolescence,\" he says.\n\nAnd that obsolescence is getting more and more built in. Some new games consoles won't work with the games people already own. Or, take the smartphone - it has replaced many products like the camera, typewriter and Dictaphone.\n\nBut those items could last for decades. Some were even passed down from one generation to the next. Now, however, people replace their phones when one part breaks or a new model is released.\n\nThe dictaphone grew a lot smaller than this 1945 model, but it has now been replaced by the smartphone\n\nYou can even see this on the High Street. TV and radio repair shops are a vanishing breed. Lawnmower maintenance ones are even rarer and camera shops are in serious decline.\n\nBut there is an exception that proves the rule - the explosion in the number of bicycle repair shops.\n\nThe reason is simple enough to understand: we are cycling more and the technology is pretty much the same as it has always been.\n\nJohn Gallen should know - he repairs bikes at Cycle Surgery in central London. \"Materials have changed. There are steel, carbon, aluminium, even bamboo bikes out there, but ultimately it is still the triangular frame, two wheels, handlebars and a set of pedals and off you go,\" he tells me.\n\nThe materials may have changed but the bicycle's shape is essentially the same as it was in the 1930s\n\nBut even that may be about to change with the new popularity of electric bikes. \"We are moving down that road,\" says John. \"The electric bikes are making their way into the market and with them you just plug the bike in to get the diagnostics.\"\n\nIt is possible to design and make things that last a long time, can be repaired or upgraded and then, finally, almost totally recycled, but that doesn't seem to be happening yet.\n\nBut it may be coming sooner than current trends suggest. Modern technology from toys to mobile phones and electric bikes is dependent on increasingly rare metals.\n\nAs Prof Bates explains: \"There are limited amounts of those metals left, so we have to be much cleverer about how we keep them or we could be in danger of going back to the days when only very rich people had hi-tech goods, because it is so expensive to buy as those materials aren't out there.\"\n\nAlthough you will, of course, always be able to get on your bike, so long as it is not electric. Perhaps one made from bamboo should be on your list for Santa next year?\n\nYou can hear Jonty Bloom's report on the PM programme on Tuesday, 3 January.\n• None When is regifting Christmas presents ok?", "A tetchy Pep Guardiola engages in an awkward post-match interview with BBC Sport's Damian Johnson after Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.\n\nWatch highlights on Match of the Day, 22:30 GMT, on BBC One, the BBC Sport app and this website.", "The cost of annual season tickets has increased by 1.9%, analysis by the BBC England Data Unit found\n\nCommuters in some parts of England will be worse off than others from rail fare rises, which were called a \"kick in the teeth\" by critics.\n\nIn some areas there was no increase in annual season ticket prices, despite wage growth.\n\nOthers have seen their annual fares rise despite average pay having fallen.\n\nAcross the UK rail fares of all types - from season tickets to single journeys - increased by an average of 2.3% on the first weekday of the new year.\n\nAnalysis by the BBC England Data Unit found annual season tickets had increased in cost by 1.9%, while median take-home pay had increased by 2%.\n\nThe government said wages were growing faster than regulated fares, which include season tickets.\n\nPassengers commuting to Manchester with the most popular annual season tickets saw no increase at all, while the median take-home wage increased 2.8%.\n\nAnnual passes from East Didsbury, Macclesfield, Stockport, Altrincham, Wilmslow, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Glossop and Knutsford are all the same price as they were before the increase.\n\nYet commuters in Liverpool will pay 1.9% more for an annual pass.

This suggests that the initial run, when the book was republished in German for the first time, was followed by market saturation.\n\nFor a German non-fiction book, sales of 85,000 are not bad.

Mein Kampf on the other hand is ranked 79th for non-fiction sales on the German Amazon site, narrowly beaten by a handbook on web coding, and a long way behind a handbook explaining how to get more Twitter followers.\n\nNevertheless it is understandable that the publishers might be overwhelmed.

But 2016 was the year there were signs of life - will 2017 be their year of resurrection?\n\nThe vote to leave the EU has breathed fresh life into the UK's most pro-European major party.\n\nLast year they had a sensational by-election victory in Richmond Park, a modest increase in national polls, and won a clutch of council seats at by-elections.\n\nIn 2017 they will be hoping to pick up more council seats and improve their national standing.\n\nAs the most full-throated advocates of the 16m people who voted Remain, they have a fresh opening.\n\nBut 2016's successes come from a low base. The party was nearly annihilated in 2015. They now have nine MPs and struggle to get airtime.\n\nLeader Tim Farron is secure in his job, following a year in which Labour, the Conservatives and the Greens all held leadership elections. UKIP even managed two.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May is fairly popular with the public and Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn is unpopular, polls suggest.\n\nBut Mr Farron has another problem - almost half of voters have no opinion at all. The road to a Lib Dem recovery will be a long one, if it happens at all.\n\nThe Lib Dems will be hoping to capitalise on anti-Brexit feeling\n\nAfter the referendum, Guardian columnist Rafael Behr spoke of \"an unrecognised state - call it Remainia - whose people were divided between the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems; like a tribe whose homeland has been partitioned by some insouciant Victorian cartographer\".\n\nThe Lib Dems are hoping to win over some of these 16m lost tribesmen.\n\nEven though most backed Remain, Conservatives MPs are now largely united behind Theresa May's \"Brexit means Brexit\" stance.\n\nLabour MPs are divided. Though most backed Remain, many represent areas which voted to Leave.\n\nThey do not want to be seen as circumventing voters' wishes.\n\nThe Lib Dems have a unique approach: they want a second referendum on the terms of the Brexit deal.\n\nAt the moment, there is no demonstrable appetite to refight the battles of June and hold another EU vote.\n\nBut Mr Farron thinks that could change in 2017.\n\nThe prime minister says she will kick-start divorce proceedings by the end of March. We know few details about the deal she wants but should it disappoint, the Lib Dems hope to pounce.\n\nSarah Olney's stunning by-election win on 1 December in Richmond Park was the best piece of news the Lib Dems had in years. She became the ninth Lib Dem MP, and the only woman.\n\nBut this leafy south-west London seat, with more university graduates than anywhere else in Britain, is far from typical.\n\nThe national referendum result was narrow but Remain votes piled up in big cities, affluent suburbs and Scotland. The Leave vote was more evenly spread.\n\nAlthough most MPs backed Remain, a large majority of constituencies voted to Leave.\n\nA Lib Dem win in Richmond Park does not make a national Brexit backlash.\n\nThe party also picked up lots of seats at council by-elections in 2016. Further gains are likely in May's local elections. The party did terribly when the same seats were up for grabs four years ago.\n\nNick Clegg was punished by voters for going into coalition with the Conservatives\n\nWhen the then Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg joined David Cameron in 2010 to form the country's first coalition government since World War Two, it was a bold move.\n\nBut voters brutally punished Mr Clegg for his gamble.\n\nThe party had not fallen below 17% of the vote in general elections since its formation in 1988, But it collapsed to 8% in May 2015, losing 49 of its 57 seats.\n\nThe number of Lib Dem councillors halved between 2010 and 2015.\n\nRecently they have remained in the high single figures and low teens. One recent poll put them at dizzy heights of 14%.\n\nAfter some successes in 2016, Liberal Democrats should enjoy their seasonal break.\n\nBut there are two reasons they should not get carried away.\n\nFirst, they were brutally punished for going into coalition government and are now doing better, far from the levers of power.\n\nIf they form a government in the future, they may well be punished once more.\n\nSecond, the party's liberal internationalist beliefs have taken a pounding over the past two years.\n\nTheir core values are more unpopular than at any time in recent history.", "Last updated on .From the section Sport\n\nGB Taekwondo chiefs say they \"had reservations\" but \"understand\" double Olympic champion Jade Jones' decision to take part in Channel 4's The Jump.\n\nThe programme involves competitors learning to ski jump, and the last series saw several serious injuries.\n\nGymnast Louis Smith and Paralympic cyclist and athlete Kadeena Cox will also take part in the new series.\n\nGB Taekwondo says it has has held \"extensive\" talks with Jones about the risks involved.\n\nThe 23-year-old from north Wales is set to compete in taekwondo's World Championships later this year.\n\nShe, Rio silver medallist Smith, and Cox, who won gold in both her disciplines at the Rio Paralympics, all receive funding from UK Sport to help them train for their respective events.\n\nJones will still receive her full UK Sport funding during her time on the programme, while Cox will not.\n\nBritish Gymnastics has not yet responded to BBC Sport's request for a comment.\n\nA GB Taekwondo spokesperson said: \"While we had our reservations, we understand Jade's desire to try new challenges and to take part in this show.

Many fled ethnic conflict in their homeland decades ago, and have brought up their children here. Gracia Fellmeth arrived in one of the camps a year ago to study depression in women before and after childbirth.\n\nAfter an hour's bus journey through forest from the town of Mae Sot, Mae La appears suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere. In the morning mist, thousands of bamboo huts cling to steep limestone crags.\n\nIt is the largest of nine refugee camps along the Thai-Myanmar border, and home to almost 40,000 people. Many residents have spent their entire lives in this isolated place, unable to work and dependent on outside aid. The majority are Karen, one of Myanmar's largest ethnic minorities.\n\nIt is a Wednesday morning, three months after my arrival, and the dusty waiting room is full. Pregnant women wait patiently to be seen by nurses, midwives and medics.\n\nThey will have their bellies examined, their blood pressure monitored and their blood screened.\n\nSince my arrival, women are also offered a depression screen - a series of 10 questions to look for symptoms of depression, which is common in pregnancy.\n\nOur first patient today is 18-year-old Myo Myo. She is nine weeks pregnant. She enters the room, smiling. Lar Paw, a Karen counsellor and midwife I am working with, explains what the interview involves. Myo Myo agrees to take part. We sit down on the bamboo floor and begin.\n\n\"In the past month, have you ever felt sad or down for long periods of time?\" I ask.\n\n\"Sometimes,\" Myo Myo replies. \"We have some family problems. And not enough money.\"\n\nGracia Fellmeth screened many young pregnant women for signs of depression\n\nCalm and composed, she continues her story - a story by now familiar to me. She describes a happy relationship with her husband. Despite his alcohol dependency, he is good to her, she says, and she loves him. They are both happy about the pregnancy. However, there are tensions with her mother-in-law, who disapproves of Myo Myo and rebukes her for not contributing to household expenditure.\n\nI want to know more about her symptoms. She tells us that the episodes of sadness are short-lived, occurring only once or twice a month and lasting an hour or so.\n\n\"Do you ever think about hurting yourself, or about suicide?\" I probe.\n\n\"Sometimes I think about it, if we have been arguing with my mother-in-law,\" she admits. She has never attempted suicide though, and assures us she is not planning to.\n\nA quarter of all women we speak to think about suicide at least occasionally. A smaller proportion - about 3% - have made attempts. We lack the resources to follow up all of these patients, so we focus only on those with pronounced thoughts of suicide or severe symptoms of depression.\n\nMyo Myo has other symptoms, too - low energy and \"thinking too much\" - but they occur only once in a while and do not seem to be out of the ordinary.\n\nWe don't arrange a follow-up but we tell her to come and talk to us any time, if she wants to share her worries with anyone.\n\nTwo days later I am on the bus to Mae La when a colleague asks me: \"Did you hear about the suicide? A young girl. She was pregnant.\"\n\nMy heart pounds. Was it someone I had interviewed? Someone we had been following up? Or worse, someone we hadn't followed up?\n\nLar Paw stands outside the clinic waiting for me.\n\n\"Doctor! We have a suicide. Do you remember this patient?\" She hands me a file. It is Myo Myo's.\n\nI feel shaky. I remember her, and I remember that we had not considered her to be high-risk. Among the hundreds of women we had spoken to, Myo Myo, tragically, had not stood out.\n\n\"Her husband also. They did it together,\" Lar Paw continues softly.\n\nA double suicide? I couldn't think straight. We had seen Myo Myo only two days ago. How could this have happened? Had we given her the idea of taking her own life? Was this all my fault?\n\nLater that day we go to Myo Myo's home to pay our respects. The family sits quietly. The two bodies lie in the middle of the room under a sheet, surrounded by candles. Two cups wrapped in plastic are lined with a fluorescent blue liquid - remnants of the toxic weed-killer that led the couple to their death.\n\nWe sit in silence until Myo Myo's mother-in-law stumbles in, drunk.\n\nMyo Myo's sister-in-law shouts at her. \"This is all your fault,\" she sobs.\n\nLater we find out about an altercation that had taken place earlier in the week between Myo Myo's husband and his mother, during which she had slapped him in the face.\n\nThe death of this young couple left us deeply saddened, but also troubled. Should we have done more to encourage Myo Myo to put aside her thoughts of suicide? Could we have stopped her?\n\nHad it been the impulsive act of an adolescent in response to a family feud? Had a Buddhist belief in rebirth enticed the couple to leave this world and start a new, better, life together?\n\nWe will never know. What we do know is that suicide is too common in Mae La - last year it accounted for half of all deaths among pregnant women and new mothers.\n\nWhat is the explanation?

completed a dramatic comeback at Bournemouth as they rescued a point in injury time having fallen 3-0 behind.\n\nThe Gunners looked destined for a third away league defeat in a row before a late rally that began with a diving Alexis Sanchez header and gathered momentum when a stunning Lucas Perez left-footed volley reduced the gap to a single goal.\n\nBournemouth went down to 10 men when Simon Francis was sent off for a challenge on Aaron Ramsey and Arsenal capitalised as Olivier Giroud headed a 92nd-minute equaliser.\n\nThe home side had overwhelmed the Gunners early on and taken the lead when Charlie Daniels cut inside Hector Bellerin and stroked a shot past on-rushing keeper Petr Cech.\n\nCallum Wilson scored a penalty to extend Bournemouth's lead and Ryan Fraser sent a shot through Cech's legs for the Cherries' third before the hour mark.\n\nBut the hosts buckled under Arsenal's late pressure as Arsene Wenger's side moved eight points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, who play Tottenham on Wednesday.\n\nArsenal had produced a feeble display for 70 minutes and were second best in the face of Bournemouth's energy and desire but that all changed when Sanchez headed in at the far post following Giroud's flick-on.\n\nThe momentum of the match changed and five minutes later Giroud clipped a lovely ball to substitute Perez and he sent an angled volley inside the far post.\n\nFrancis' sending-off helped Arsenal, although Cherries boss Eddie Howe felt it was a \"harsh\" decision by referee Michael Oliver.\n\nGiroud headed in from a Granit Xhaka cross as Bournemouth failed in their desperate attempts to hang on during six minutes of added time.\n\nArsenal have been accused of lacking the character to maintain a title challenge in recent seasons and they did little to change that perception before Sanchez's goal.\n\nThey were continually second best to the home side and frustrations rose to the surface in the first half.\n\nSanchez and Ramsey exchanged angry words at 2-0 down, while Giroud showed his annoyance when Shkodran Mustafi failed to find him with a pass that went harmlessly out of play.\n\nThat they regrouped in such thrilling manner was doubtless a relief but not one that entirely satisfied goalscorer Giroud.\n\n\"I'm pleased to help the team by scoring the equaliser but I'm still disappointed,\" said the Frenchman.\n\n\"It's nice to

It is a world first.\n\nAnd just 100km away is the world's biggest solar farm, making power for 150,000 homes on a 10 sq km site.\n\nThe industrial plant appears especially significant as it offers a breakthrough by capturing CO2 without subsidy.\n\nBuilt at a chemical plant in the port city of Tuticorin, it is projected to save 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year by incorporating them into the recipes for soda ash and other chemicals.\n\nThe owner of the chemicals plant, Ramachadran Gopalan, told a BBC Radio 4 documentary: \"I am a businessman. I never thought about saving the planet. I needed a reliable stream of CO2, and this was the best way of getting it.\"\n\nHe says his operation has now almost zero emissions. He hopes soon to install a second coal boiler to make more CO2 to synthesise fertiliser.\n\nThe chemical used in stripping the CO2 from the flue gas was invented by two young Indian chemists. They failed to raise Indian finance to develop it, but their firm, Carbonclean Solutions, working with the Institute of Chemical Technology at Mumbai and Imperial College in London, got backing from the UK's entrepreneur support scheme.\n\nTheir technique uses a form of salt to bond with CO2 molecules in the boiler chimney. The firm says it is more efficient than typical amine compounds used for the purpose.\n\nThe plant is projected to save 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year\n\nThey say it also needs less energy, produces less alkaline waste and allows the use of a cheaper form of steel - all radically reducing the cost of the whole operation.\n\nThe firm admits its technology of Carbon Capture and Utilisation won't cure climate change, but says it may provide a useful contribution by gobbling up perhaps 5-10% of the world's emissions from coal.\n\nLord Oxburgh, former chairman of Shell, and now director and head of the UK government's carbon capture advisory group, told the BBC: \"We have to do everything we can to reduce the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels and it is great news that more ways are being found of turning at least some of the CO2 into useful products.\"\n\nMeanwhile, the nearby giant Kamuthi solar plant offers a marker for India's ambition for a rapid expansion in renewables.\n\nThe world's largest solar farm at Kamuthi in southern India\n\nIt is truly enormous; from the tall observation tower, the ranks of black panels stretch almost to the horizon.\n\nFor large-scale projects, the cost of new solar power in India is now cheaper than coal and Prime Minister Modi plans to power 60 million homes from the sun by 2022.\n\nBut solar doesn't generate 24/7 on an industrial scale, so India has adopted a \"more of everything\" approach to energy until then.\n\nIts recently-published National Electricity Plan projects no further additions to coal-based capacity between 2022 and 2027, and estimates that the share of clean generating capacity (including nuclear) will increase to 56.5% by the end of that period.\n\nThe firm behind the solar plant, Adani, is also looking to create Australia's biggest coal mine, which it says will provide power for up to 100 million people in India. Renewables, it says, can't answer India's vast appetite for power to lift people out of poverty.\n\nWill India stick to its renewables promises with Donald Trump as US president?\n\nAnd questions have been raised recently as to whether India will stick to its renewables promises now President-elect Donald Trump may be about to scrap climate targets for the US.\n\nAt the recent Marrakech climate conference, China, the EU and many developing countries pledged to forge ahead with emissions-cutting plans regardless of US involvement.

But it's still not entirely clear what it actually means. If you're feeling lost, help is at hand: here's our handy guide to the A-Z of Brexit.\n\nKnown as the \"exit clause\", Article 50 sets out the process the UK will go through to leave the European Union.\n\nIt sets the clock ticking on negotiations, giving a deadline of two years before the UK's membership of the EU ends - unless all EU member states' leaders vote unanimously to extend that period.\n\nIt says that any deal negotiated between the UK and EU will come down to a vote of European leaders, where it will need to be passed by a qualified majority and passed by the European Parliament.\n\nPreviously tasked with cleaning up the continent's financial services, Michel Barnier is the European Commission's chief Brexit negotiator.\n\nHe's a politician with a long career as an MEP, vice-president of the centre-right European People's Party, French foreign minister, and European commissioner.\n\nMr Barnier is also known for not being keen on giving interviews in English. At the height of the eurozone crisis he implied this policy was led by caution, saying: \"One wrong word, and we could move markets.\"\n\nThe European Council is made up of the 28 EU heads of government, plus the European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.\n\nThe council doesn't make laws, but the heads of EU governments can vote on the union's political direction through a process that weights their votes according to the size of the country they represent.\n\nAlthough Prime Minister Theresa May represents the UK on the council, she won't attend any meetings or votes it holds on the subject of Brexit negotiations after Article 50 is triggered.\n\nMore properly known as the Department for Exiting the European Union, DexEU is the government department responsible for the UK's negotiations with the EU.\n\nIt is led by David Davis. The department will conduct negotiations on Brexit with the EU, as well as talking to individual states about bilateral agreements after the UK leaves the EU.\n\nAcademic Sara Hagemann, who is Danish, said she had been told she could no longer advise the government on Brexit.\n\nLeave campaigner Michael Gove made waves during the EU referendum campaign when he claimed Britain had \"had enough of experts.\"\n\nMore recently, academics at the London School of Economics said that Foreign Office officials had told them non-UK nationals would no longer be able to brief the department on issues relating to Brexit.\n\nThe FCO insisted that it was a misunderstanding, saying \"We will continue to take advice from the best and brightest minds, regardless of nationality.\"\n\nTrading with other countries without customs duties, import bans or quotas is the goal of International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, who has previously said that free trade \"transformed the world for the better\".\n\nEU membership means the UK isn't allowed to make its own deals with other countries - deals like the Ceta free trade agreement signed between Canada and the EU after seven years of negotiations.\n\nBut opponents of free trade deals like Ceta and the proposed TTIP deal between the EU and US have claimed that the deals harm workers' rights and damage environmental safeguards.\n\nGreenland provided the closest thing Brexit has to a precedent when it left the European Economic Community - a precursor to the EU - in 1982.\n\nGreenlandic objections to its membership to the EEC, as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, centred on the Common Fisheries Policy which allowed European trawlers to fish in its waters.\n\nSince then, Greenland's fishermen have fared better than its fur industry, which since 2010 has been barred from selling any seal products within the EU.\n\nThe style of Brexit favoured by campaigners like Nigel Farage, \"hard Brexit\" would entail the UK leaving the European single market.\n\nIt would allow the British government more direct control over policies on immigration, but may mean tariffs on exports to the EU.\n\nIt's often presented as the opposite of \"soft Brexit\", which sees the UK remain in the EU single market - potentially having to accept EU rules like freedom of movement as a part of the deal.\n\nNigel Farage said 23 June should go down in history as the UK's \"independence day\" in commemoration of the vote to leave the EU.\n\nBut a petition calling for a national holiday on 23 June received a negative response from the government, which said it had \"no current plans to create another public holiday\" because of the economic cost of days off.\n\nFormer Prime Minister of Luxembourg and President of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker will be a key figure during the Article 50 negotiations with the EU.\n\nBefore the vote to leave, Mr Juncker warned the UK that \"out is out\", and that there would be no way back.\n\nThe European Commission is the EU body that will carry out much of the negotiating between the EU and UK, before a final deal is approved by the European Council's 27 non-UK EU leaders.\n\nIt's reported the Russian government of Vladimir Putin may stand to gain from Brexit, as the UK's decision to leave the EU could distract from its sanctions against Russia.\n\nFormer Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev said the UK had supported a harder line on EU-Russian relations.\n\nMr Plevneliev said: \"If Brexit is going to be a divorce, we should stay the best possible and the closest friends.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Lord Kerr says Article 50 was drawn up in the event of a coup\n\nRatified in 2009, the Lisbon Treaty aimed to streamline the EU's decision making process following a period of expansion that saw membership grow.\n\nIt created the post of President of the European Council (currently held by Poland's Donald Tusk) and expanded the use of the proportional qualified majority voting system that awarded votes according to the size of a member state.\n\nThe Lisbon Treaty also contains Article 50 - drafted by Scottish peer Lord Kerr - the mechanism that dictates the way in which a member state can leave the EU.\n\nThe leader of the EU's largest member state, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has said \"Brexit negotiations won't be easy\" but that there's no need for the EU to be \"nasty\" to the UK during negotiations.\n\nGerman leader since 2005, Ms Merkel will face a re-election battle in 2017. Her decision to welcome more than one million refugees to Germany is likely to be a big issue in that campaign.\n\nNorway isn't a member of the EU, but is a part of the European Economic Area, the European Free Trade Association and the Schengen Zone.\n\nNorway has been mooted as one of the models a post-Brexit UK could emulate after a \"soft Brexit\", but Prime Minister Erna Solberg said the UK \"wouldn't like\" finding itself on the fringes of the EU after Brexit.\n\nThe Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban is a strident critic of many aspects of the EU. Since the UK voted to leave, he has spoken of the opportunity it presents for change, saying: \"We are at a historic cultural moment. There is a possibility of a cultural counter-revolution right now.\"\n\nIn October Mr Orban held a referendum of his own, calling on Hungarian voters to reject the EU's refugee quotas.\n\nA member of the European Council, Mr Orban will be one of the EU leaders voting on the UK's Brexit negotiations.\n\nNothing to do with the colour of your UK passport, this is the process by which London-based financial institutions can operate in the rest of the EU.\n\nPassporting became a concern for global banks after the referendum, as they feared they could lose their rights to access the European single market.\n\nInternational Trade Minister Mark Garnier suggested that such a thing could happen.

See entry below, for T.\n\nThe Commons Library says the position of UK citizens in the EU - and vice versa - after Brexit remains uncertain.\n\nIt does, however, suggest that people already using their freedom of movement to live in other EU countries are unlikely to be affected, as it would be difficult - practically and politically - to change their residency rights retrospectively.\n\nThe UK could give up its membership of the European Union, but still have access to the single market.\n\nThis would make trading with other European countries easier, as there would be less change after Brexit.\n\nThe price would most likely be some kind of free movement agreement - meaning that EU citizens could still move to the UK to live and work, even after Brexit.\n\nThe incoming American president is a fan of Brexit, even saying in the days before his election victory over Hillary Clinton that a win for him would be \"like Brexit plus-plus-plus.\"\n\nHe has befriended leading Brexiteer Nigel Farage - who was the first foreign politician to meet the president-elect after his win over Hillary Clinton.\n\nSome in the UK, including Mr Farage, hope a Trump administration will move the UK to the front of the queue for trade deals with the US, heralding a new economic special relationship.\n\nThe UK's nations and regions weren't united in voting leave - Scotland, Northern Ireland and London voted to remain in the EU.\n\nScottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has suggested she will hold a second independence referendum if the UK goes for a hard Brexit.\n\nIn Northern Ireland there are mixed responses. Some fear the return of border controls - the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny is planning an a summit on the issue. Meanwhile, the border town of Newry has seen an influx of shoppers from the Republic, keen to take advantage of the euro's increased spending power.\n\nFormer Belgian Prime Minister and the European Parliament's lead Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, has suggested he is unwilling to negotiate on the free movement of people, saying: \"European values will never be up for negotiation.\"\n\nHe has already held a preliminary meeting with David Davis (See entry for D, above) which the two said afterwards \"a good start\". And he has since warned that the European Parliament would negotiate directly with the British if EU leaders \"don't take the parliament's role seriously\".\n\nHome Secretary Amber Rudd sparked controversy with an announcement that firms would have to publish the percentage of overseas workers they hired - although the government later rowed back on the idea.\n\nThere is also uncertainty over what could happen to UK employment rights, as some things like agency workers' rights and limitations on working time are guaranteed by EU law.\n\nPolice figures showed a rise in religious or racially motivated hate crimes in the weeks following the EU referendum.\n\nIn response, the government launched a new hate crime action plan to combat the increase.\n\nOr more specifically, the yeast-based spread Marmite.\n\nThe falling value of the pound after the UK voted to leave the EU led to a row between Tesco and the manufacturer, Anglo-Dutch corporation Unilever, which wanted to raise the price of Marmite and other products.\n\nThe companies resolved their differences, which came after Unilever said the weak pound made selling its wares in the UK less profitable.\n\nThe capital of Croatia, the EU's newest member state.\n\nThe Croatian Foreign Minister Miro Kovac expressed his concerns about the effect Brexit could have on the EU's growth plans, saying: \"We also want stability in southeastern Europe and we will work so that Brexit does not have too much effect on the enlargement process.\"\n\nCroatia's fellow Balkan states Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are all currently in the process of joining the EU.", "Can Jeremy Corbyn reach out beyond Labour Party members?\n\n\"Our job is to make Jeremy Corbyn the Left's Donald Trump\", whispered a political adviser over cold sausage rolls at Labour's annual Christmas party,\n\n\"Trump shows if we take the anti-establishment message and run with it, anything is possible\".\n\nThis most unlikely of strategies, to replicate the electoral tactics of a man Mr Corbyn has called divisive and wrong, is clear.\n\nIf you have lost trust in politicians, well, don't go for fake anti-elitism. Go for the real thing. Corbyn.\n\nThe Labour leader's office are convinced that the anti-elitist wave which delivered Jeremy Corbyn the leadership twice is the same that brought President Trump and Brexit.\n\nHow do they ride that wave? Efforts will be made in the early part of the year to roll out radical retail policies on the economy and the cost of living, with an attempt at every turn to avoid the potentially sticky wicket of Brexit.\n\nWhether he will be able to sell his message beyond Labour's 515,000 members remains to be seen but we should see a return to the campaign rallies and speaking tours that played such a part of his summer 2015 leadership bid.\n\nCan Jeremy Corbyn ride the wave of anti-elitism that delivered Donald Trump the US presidency?\n\nHarnessing the energy of large crowds and speaking direct through TV into the living rooms of the general public, rather like one Donald J Trump, will be just one part of a new turbo-charged media strategy.\n\nThis will be first put to the test in the Copeland by-election. The resignation of Jamie Reed, one of Mr Corbyn's most prominent critics, will mean the party having to defend a 2,500 majority in a seat which Labour has held since 1935.\n\nIt should be an easy hold for an opposition party taking on a mid-term government; after all a governing party hasn't made a by-election gain, without a defection, for 56 years.\n\nThe bookies think the Conservatives have a good chance of taking the seat, but after outperforming many people's expectations in Oldham West and Royton, it would be foolish to write Labour off six weeks before voting begins.\n\nAndy Burnham's mayoral bid in Manchester will be among high-profile contests\n\nNext year's set of local elections will take place on 4 May and will see elections to English, Scottish and Welsh councils, as well as the first set of elections for newly created regional mayors.\n\nThe most high-profile race for Labour will be Andy Burnham's attempt to become the first directly elected mayor of the Manchester region. But there will be more competitive elections in the West Midlands, where MEP Sion Simon faces a challenge from Andy Street - the former managing director of John Lewis - who is standing for the Conservatives.\n\nOutside of the inaugural mayoral contests, there will be elections to 34 councils in England.\n\nThis will be a challenging environment for the Labour Party; back in 2013 the party made substantial gains and is facing elections in swathes of safe Conservative shire areas.\n\nThe 2013 vote share of 29% was actually two points behind their final general election result and a replication of this result would not be too surprising.\n\nThe danger, perhaps, would be if Labour fell into third place behind a resurgent UKIP and Conservative Party. Should that happen, then it is likely the carefully maintained silence of Mr Corbyn's opponents within the Parliamentary Labour Party will break.\n\nPerhaps the most consequential battles will be outside national electoral contests and within the movement itself.\n\nLen McCluskey will face re-election for general secretary of Unite in April. Few individuals have been as vital as the leader of the UK's biggest union to preserving Jeremy Corbyn's position.\n\nModerates are organising hard to elect Gerard Coyne, a close friend of Tom Watson, someone who, they think, could deliver thousands of votes for a moderate candidate in a future leadership contest.\n\nMomentum, the powerful grassroots organisation that supports Mr Corbyn's leadership, will also face internal challenges in 2017.\n\nSince the party conference in Liverpool, a bitter dispute has broken out over who should hold the reins of power.\n\nThe organisation is facing internal squabbles over its future direction with a concerted effort to remove Corbyn ally Jon Lansman from his leadership role.\n\nMomentum tearing itself apart could seriously imperil Jeremy Corbyn's efforts to make Labour a movement. This will be, of course, with a Parliamentary party doggedly against him but maintaining a Trappist silence following Mr Corbyn's 2016 re-election as Labour leader.\n\nIn all of this the key question for Jeremy Corbyn will be whether he can translate the powerful populist movement that took him to the leadership of his party in 2015 and 2016 onto a national stage.\n\nPolling, with Labour at its lowest ebb since the dog days of Gordon Brown's government, suggests that it is a tall order.\n\nBut if 2016 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected.", "Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union\n\nEddie Jones says he sympathises with Richard Cockerill and is open to the possibility of the sacked Leicester boss joining England's coaching set-up.\n\nCockerill, 46, was dismissed as Tigers' director of rugby on 2 January, with the club fifth in the Premiership.\n\nEngland head coach Jones told BBC Sport that despite having a forwards coach he would \"never close the door\".\n\nJones also said Dylan Hartley would continue to captain England if he was fit enough to be selected.\n\nNorthampton hooker Hartley is serving a six-week ban for catching Leinster's Sean O'Brien with a swinging arm in a Champions Cup match in December.\n\nJones, 56, said last month that the 30-year-old had \"let his country down\" with the third red card of his career.\n\nBut the Australian said on Tuesday that Hartley was \"doing everything right\" to be England captain for the forthcoming Six Nations.\n\nCockerill had been a member of Leicester's coaching staff since 2004, taking over as head coach in 2009 and becoming director of rugby in 2010.\n\nBut following a 16-12 defeat by Saracens on New Year's Day, and with Leicester 15 points adrift of leaders Wasps, Cockerill was sacked.\n\nLeicester won three Premiership titles under Cockerill and were twice runners-up Leicester were runners-up in the European Cup in Cockerill's first season in charge and won the LV= Cup in 2011-12\n\nJones said: \"I have a massive amount of sympathy for Richard Cockerill.\n\n\"He is a great rugby guy, a great player for Leicester, has been a very successful director of rugby and coach.\n\n\"You don't like to see that happen to anyone but the reality of being a coach is that everyone goes through that and I am sure he will end up somewhere else.\n\n\"It has been a discussion point for the Leicester players. They are disappointed for Richard but know they have to get on with the job.\n\n\"We are very well endowed with the forwards coaches we have at the moment so we can always look at the possibility of that [getting Cockerill].\"\n\nFormer England lock Steve Borthwick is currently England's forwards coach.\n\nHartley's dismissal in Northampton's 37-10 home defeat by Leinster had jeopardised his involvement in England's Six Nations campaign, with their opening fixture against France at Twickenham on 4 February.\n\nHowever, he is eligible to play again from 23 January.\n\nJones added: \"A prerequisite to get into the England side is to be very fit and not playing games means he needs to undergo an unbelievably stringent fitness programme over the next five or six weeks. He is doing that and is in the best position to continue as captain.\n\n\"If Dylan is right to play, he will be captain.\n\n\"Everyone makes mistakes. In the last 12 months, he has made one mistake and done a hell of a lot of good things so his batting average is pretty high. If that falls, then we need to look at things.\n\n\"We have had a number of chats, not any longer than five minutes, but plenty of information has been exchanged. He understands where he is at and what he needs to do. He will do it.\"\n\nThe former Australia coach said it was a \"big relief\" to have James Haskell back in contention after the flanker missed the autumn internationals with a toe injury.\n\nLeicester centre Manu Tuilagi has been ruled out of England's training camp in Brighton next week after a knee injury cut short his involvement in the Tigers' defeat by Saracens.\n\n\"He was coming back into some form, getting his power back so it is enormously frustrating for him,\" said Jones.\n\nFormer England captain Chris Robshaw also faces a nervous wait to discover the extent of the shoulder injury sustained with Harlequins on New Year's Day, with England ordering a scan.\n\nWorld Rugby has tightened the tackle law with immediate effect, clamping down on high and dangerous tackles by lowering the acceptable height of the tackle and increasing the severity of on-field punishment.\n\n\"I think it is fantastic,\" said Jones. \"The game of rugby is such a great game and we have to keep improving it.\n\n\"Concussions is an issue that will be there more and more so the scrutiny for head injuries is nothing like it was three or five years ago.\n\n\"Over the next period of time, it is going to be quite difficult. We will then have a safer, healthier game.\n\n\"We played against Argentina with 14 men and it was a great game. We are preparing for that. The penalties over the next period of time will be harsh.\"", "Gary Barlow has been a judge on The X Factor in the past\n\nGary Barlow has said the success of his new BBC One talent show should not be judged on TV ratings because they are less relevant than they used to be.\n\nBarlow is using Let It Shine, which starts on Saturday, to find the five leads for a Take That stage musical.\n\nLet It Shine will go up against The Voice UK, which has moved to ITV.\n\nBarlow told the BBC: \"I think people are ingesting TV in a different way now.

Take a look at some of them here.\n\nOn a quiet street in the heart of one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, the Nags Head's first customers would have been staff from the mansions on neighbouring streets.\n\n\"The likelihood is that, because of its location, most of the early landlords were connected with horses, carriages and stabling,\" writes Dailey.\n\nThe pub's main bar - with its 150-year-old Chelsea pottery beer engine pump handles - is unusually low, with short stools in front.\n\nThis is because the floor of the bar servery is positioned midway between the main bar and the lower back bar to the rear, which was once possibly a stables or courtyard.\n\nThe Nags Head is also filled with dozens of toys, penny arcade machines, posters and photos - and the current landlord's collection of military memorabilia.\n\nThe Blackfriar - built in 1875 - stands on the site of London's Dominican friary in the parish of Ludgate.\n\nThe Dominicans are known as \"the blackfriars\" because of the black cloaks they wear.\n\nIn the early 20th Century the pub's interior was remodelled by the sculptor Henry Poole, who created a vision straight out of medieval England.\n\nThere is a sumptuous mosaic ceiling, with marble columns and copper clay friezes.\n\nAnd black-cloaked friars can be spotted just about everywhere - all appearing to enjoy sins of overindulgence.\n\nThe interior of the French House looks more like a Parisian backstreet bar, than a traditional London pub - and it remains a favourite of artists, writers, actors and photographers,\n\nGeorge Dailey describes the inside as \"a little tired, faintly bohemian - but with unmistakeable Gallic charm\".\n\nFor most of the 20th Century the pub's official name was The York Minster.\n\nIts metamorphosis into \"The French\" started in 1914, when its German owner sold the business to a Belgian - but \"The French sounds more romantic\", says Dailey.\n\nThe inn on this site was first built in 1520 - on the north bank of the Thames to the east of the City.\n\nIt would have been a timber structure surrounded by gardens and marshland. It was rebuilt in the 18th Century.\n\nRegular visitors included the writers Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys and Samuel Johnson - and the venue was known for its bare-knuckle and cock fights.\n\nIt's thought the pub's strange name derives from the fact that a collier - a ship carrying coal - from Whitby in North Yorkshire used to moor regularly beside the pub.\n\nInitially it was just called The Prospect.\n\nFor people heading to London from the south, Borough High Street in Southwark was a terminus.\n\nThe walled City of London was only a bridge away, but it was closed at night.\n\nLatecomers were forced to take rooms at one of the local inns - including The George.\n\nThe George became a home for political debate and gossip - and Shakespeare's plays were often performed in its courtyard.\n\nAccording to Dailey: \"There is no pub in London that can boast of having a completely untouched 18th Century interior - but The George comes very close.\"\n\nThe current building, which backs on to the shore of the Thames, dates from 1720 - built on the site of a previous pub, which burned down in 1710.\n\nIn 1865, Charles Dickens is thought to have written about The Grapes - or The Bunch of Grapes, as it was then known.\n\nHe describes \"a tavern of dropsical appearance... long settled down into a state of hale infirmity. It had outlasted many a sprucer public house, indeed the whole house impended over the water but seemed to have got into the condition of a faint-hearted diver, who has paused so long on the brink, that he will never go in at all.\"\n\nAlthough rebuilt in the 1920s, there has probably been a pub on the site of The Ship since the mid-16th Century - and in its early incarnation it was known as a haven for persecuted Catholics.\n\nThe pub is now just behind a busy underground station, but initially it would have overlooked a rough area of pasture land - Lincoln's Inn Fields.\n\nThis narrow pub on the Thames is one of the best places to watch the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race - if you can find a space to stand.\n\nAnecdotal evidence suggests the Dove was actually a licensed pub as early as 1730 - when the green fields and orchards of 18th Century Hammersmith offered tranquillity away from the City of London, which was then only a two-hour coach ride away.\n\nWith all the hallmarks of a village inn, The Flask is very close to Highgate Cemetery - the burial place of Karl Marx.\n\nIt also claims to have two ghosts - a Spanish barmaid who took her life when the landlord rejected her amorous advances, and a hapless man dressed as a cavalier who crosses the main bar and disappears into a wall.\n\nThe poets Byron, Shelley, Keats and Coleridge were regular drinkers here. Coleridge believed the clean air on the hill at Highgate was beneficial in his attempts to cure himself of opium addiction.\n\nWhen the building now known as The Lamb and Flag was built, in the mid-17th Century, Covent Garden was a relatively new urban area - a smart and desirable address.\n\nBut a century later, the gentry had moved away and the area had become a red-light district. Records from 1772 show that The Lamb and Flag - or Coopers Arms as it was known then - was trading successfully, but the clientele was drawn from the lower levels of society.\n\nA century later, and the venue was a popular location for unlicensed bare-knuckle fights.\n\nGreat Pubs of London by George Dailey is published by Prestel.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nSir Andy Murray extended his career-best winning streak in competitive matches to 25 with a straight-set win over Jeremy Chardy in the first round of the Qatar Open.\n\nThe British world number one, 29, beat the Frenchman 6-0 7-6 (7-2).\n\nChardy lost the first set in 20 minutes, but offered resistance in the second, taking it into a tie-break.\n\nMurray will play Gerald Melzer in the next round after the Austrian beat Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-7 (2-7) 6-3 6-2.\n\nThe Scot said he was \"pushed to the end\" by the world number 69.\n\n\"He didn't start well,\" said Murray, a three-time finalist in this tournament.\n\n\"It's always difficult, the first match of the year.

House prices grew much faster in eastern England and the West Midlands than in London, according to Zoopla.\n\nLondon's annual house price growth for 2016 (3.7%) was below the UK average of 4.5% for the first time since 2008, the Nationwide Building Society says.\n\nSo has the London bubble burst? Are bargains to be had? Well, these things are relative.\n\nOne new development in Radstock Street in Battersea will see eight large apartments go on the market in February for £3.65m each.\n\nFor most people around the UK, that is an eye-watering price for a three-bedroom property. Yet, the developers say these homes will be attractive to downsizers - people aged in their 50s and 60s already owning a home in central London.\n\nThe idea of downsizing to a £3m-plus home might make those eyes water a little more, but Louisa Brodie, head of search at Banda Property, says these apartments are \"realistically priced\".\n\n\"They have car parking, a porter, and are brand new. Properties like this are rare to find, and areas like this have a unique selling point,\" she says. \"London is still one of the most desirable places to live, anywhere.\"\n\nThis is surely a sign that London property has been decoupled from the rest of the country for many years.\n\nDespite the drop in activity in London, the average house price in the capital is still £474,000, more than double the typical price of £217,000 in the UK as a whole, according to the latest official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).\n\nThe slowdown in central London is the result of the most significant change in the housing market in 2016 - a stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes.\n\nSince April, anyone buying a home that is not their main residence has had to pay a 3% stamp duty surcharge. This meant that, for second homes or buy-to-let properties, the rate for properties priced at more than £1.5m reaches 15%.\n\nThe surcharge led to a burst of activity in March followed by a steep drop in transactions in April - a \"hangover\" that still persists, according to Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).\n\nIn Scotland, the equivalent tax - the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) - was also up-rated.\n\nThe new surcharge, alongside a rise in normal stamp duty costs for £1m-plus homes since 2014, had a bigger impact on the market than the Brexit vote in June, according to experts.\n\nRay Boulger, of John Charcol mortgage brokers, says it led to many at the expensive end of the market choosing to extend their homes rather than move. This made it more difficult to create chains lower down the market.\n\nEd Stansfield, chief property economist at Capital Economics, says the housing market recovered \"remarkably quickly\" after cooling immediately after the UK's vote to leave the EU.\n\nHe says a \"degree of nerves\" surrounding the economy and potential buyers' caution over stretching too far financially had kept a lid on house prices.\n\nAnother major factor in the market over the last 12 months, according to the experts, is a lack of homes going on to the market. This supply squeeze has meant that, despite all the other pressures on affordability, prices continued to increase.\n\nThe constraint on supply proved to be more problematic than expected, according to Mr Rubinsohn of Rics, whose prediction of a 6% rise in house prices for 2016 looks to be the most accurate.\n\nThis trend will continue, he says, spelling more difficulties for first-time buyers whose incomes may fall in real terms. Many will continue to rely on the Bank of Mum and Dad for help with raising a mortgage deposit, while others will look to the government's Help to Buy projects to find somewhere affordable.\n\nOthers see first-time buyers as key to the buoyancy of the housing market.\n\n\"First-time buyers still underpin the wider market. So long as the government continues to support them either directly via Help to Buy or by further tax changes then the market should not plunge but this is not completely in the gift of politicians who frankly have more pressing matters to attend to,\" says property buying agent Henry Pryor.\n\n\"Like last year if you already own a home then you are probably better off than someone who doesn't. If you don't, then it seems unlikely that 2017 will see a swift solution emerge.\"\n\nThe experts have a relatively wide spread of predictions for 2017 - from price falls overall to rises matching or outstripping the general level of inflation.\n\nMartin Ellis, housing economist at mortgage lender the Halifax, is offering a hedge-your-bets prediction of between a 1% and 4% rise.\n\n\"The relatively wide range for the forecast reflects the higher-than-normal degree of uncertainty regarding the prospects for the UK economy next year,\" he says.\n\nGiven that a buying a home is the biggest financial transaction of most people's lives, they - and their mortgage lender - will want some certainty over their job and income before taking the plunge.", "Australia's science agency has warned that spring rains have created ideal conditions for a mouse plague in the country's breadbasket.\n\nVictoria and South Australia are experiencing higher than expected numbers of mice, the CSIRO said.\n\nThe agency characterises a mouse plague as more than 1,000 mice per hectare (405 per acre).\n\nIf conditions bring enough food, the population could hit that number within months, researcher Steve Henry said.\n\n\"We had a terrific spring this year which lead to record crops,\" Mr Henry told the BBC.\n\n\"Those conditions that lead to great crops are also really favourable for mice.\"\n\nThe CSIRO could not give a current figure for mice per hectare, but said data from traps and anecdotal evidence pointed to a population spike.

Even the easiest trade deal between perfectly willing partners would take years and we won't even be able to begin formal negotiations until we leave the EU, probably in two years.\n\nWe will be able to have unofficial talks though, as the prime minister's spokesman put it on Monday: \"When she [Theresa May] visits the States she can have an early discussion, but we will abide by our obligations while in the EU.\"\n\nTechnically therefore, the quickest we would be able to get a deal is by 2019, but it is very unlikely to be that quick, not least because the deal the UK ends up doing with the EU would have an impact on the deal it gets with the US.\n\nThe first part of any negotiations would be relatively easy.\n\nTariffs, which are taxes on goods entering a country, are already quite low between the USA and the EU: they average 3%.\n\nA free-trade deal would aim to bring them all down to zero, but it is non-tariff barriers that are the real problem.\n\nThis covers everything from bank regulations and car safety standards to animal welfare and environmental protection.\n\nThe easiest deal would be for the USA to accept all our standards and regulations and for us to accept all theirs.\n\nBut this is where it can get messy.\n\nFor instance, the UK has much stricter rules on food standards, GM crops and hormones in farm animals.\n\nJust letting American food into the UK could undermine those standards and put British farmers at a disadvantage.\n\nThen there is the thorny issue of the NHS; do we open it up to competition from US medical companies or do we seek to protect it?\n\nNegotiating an optout for the NHS is perfectly possible, but it would take time and America might ask for something else in return.\n\nThe EU and the USA agreed to start negotiating a trade deal in 2011, and those talks have become bogged down because of a whole host of such issues, including how to resolve disputes once a deal is signed.\n\nThe UK should be a quicker and nimbler negotiator than the EU, which has 27 governments to keep on board, but that doesn't mean the issues are any less controversial.", "Last updated on .From the section Golf\n\nWorld number two Rory McIlroy has pulled out of the Abu Dhabi Championship because of a rib injury.\n\nThe Northern Irishman had tests on Monday after complaining about back pain during the South Africa Open, in which he lost in a play-off.\n\nMcIlroy has sustained a stress fracture and must now begin a rehabilitation programme.\n\n\"It's bitterly disappointing.

My head was in the guillotine, put there by the English media.\n\n\"In those circumstances you have to try and stick to your vision and inspire the players of Manchester United.\"\n\nVan Gaal played as a midfielder for Ajax, Royal Antwerp, Telstar, Sparta Rotterdam and AZ between 1972 and 1987 before moving into coaching, first as an assistant at AZ followed by the same role at Ajax.\n\nHe replaced Leo Beenhakker as Ajax head coach in 1991 and went on to preside over a period of sustained success, winning the Dutch league title on three occasions as well as the 1992 Uefa Cup and the 1995 Champions League title.\n\nVan Gaal was asked to emulate that success at Spanish giants Barcelona. He inherited Bobby Robson's side in 1997 and led them to two successive La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey.\n\nHis country came calling in 2000, but his first stint in charge lasted less than two years when Netherlands failed to qualify for the 2002 World Cup, the first time they had missed the competition since 1986.\n\nThe Dutchman's second spell at Barcelona was even shorter - eight months - as he left midway through the season with the club hovering just above the relegation zone.\n\nHe then guided AZ Alkmaar to the 2005-06 Eredivisie title before moving to the Bundesliga, where he helped Bayern Munich to the 2009-10 Bundesliga title.\n\nThe Dutch national side approached Van Gaal again in 2012 and this time the Netherlands became one of the first two European countries, along with Italy, to qualify for Brazil 2014, where they finished in third place.\n\nAfter much speculation, he joined United in May 2014, signing a three-year contract to succeed David Moyes.\n\nHowever, United replaced him with Jose Mourinho after just two years following a fifth-placed Premier League finish in the 2015-16 season, with a first FA Cup triumph since 2004 not sufficient to save him.", "Some women with terminal cancer who were expecting to be able to take a life-extending drug to give them an extra 6 months of life - have been told they will no longer get it.\n\nBonnie Fox has told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she's \"completely devastated\"- and she's considering trying to raise funds to pay for it herself.", "Snow and very low temperatures have been affecting Italy from the south to the north.\n\nThe central regions of Marche and Abruzzo, which suffered in recent earthquakes, have been hit particularly badly.", "Can Donald Trump make America not just great again, but make it gleam and bring the shine of steel back to the rustbelt?\n\nIn the past I have driven through some of the areas so described and its no idle metaphor. There are mile upon mile of oxidised, red metal skeletons, dead factories entombing dead jobs, dead hopes.\n\nBut the Interstate 75 road outside Detroit is a reminder that manufacturing industry could just be America's future and not only its past.\n\nTowers and gantries poke up into the skyline, plumes of steam billowing white against a grey sky from dozens of chimneys: little lights, appropriately red and white and blue, blink with brisk industrial efficiency. This is the home of Motown - Motor City - famous for its music and its cars.\n\nEight years after a heart-stopping crisis for the motor industry Detroit is working again. Some say that is thanks to Obama. Others look to Mr Trump to make it what it once was again.\n\nI am talking to Brian Panbecker in his car opposite Detroit's Ford plant. He's a forklift truck driver and he is just about to go on shift.\n\n\"Life around Detroit is always cyclical, up and down. My dad warned me when I was first hired in by Chrysler back in 1978. He said 'Brian, the auto industry is up and down. It is like a rollercoaster. When times are good you have to work overtime, save some money, pay off all your debts. When times are bad you have to ride it out'.\"\n\nHe says Mr Trump speaks the language of the shop floor - sometimes crude and vulgar but straight to the point. And many of those Brian works with support him as a result.\n\nPresident Obama oversaw a major bailout of the US automobile industry\n\nPresident of the 3000 branch of the United Automobile Workers union, Steve Gonzalez, tells me there are plenty who agree with Brian.\n\n\"Some of our members are Donald Trump supporters. I can't get into their heads but a lot of our workers were for him. Not sure if it was the promise of change, or his appeal on TV, little quips, on Facebook, on Twitter. People run with that.\"\n\nBut didn't President Obama and the bailout of Chrysler and GM save this city?\n\nI meet Thomas in a trendy brewery pub. Bit of a waste as he does not drink, and I am not doing so at the moment. Still the brewery logo, of a heroic worker raising a glass, says something about this unionised city.\n\n\"I lost a job and I wasn't capable of relocating and because Obama saved this industry I got a job,\" he explains. The bailout \"stopped GM and Chrysler being sold off to companies who would have split it up and sold it for parts. And that is what saved the industry\".\n\nI ask if he is better off than in 2008 and he replies: \"I'm not broke and would have been.\"\n\nBrian could not disagree more.\n\n\"The bailouts did not save the auto industry, bankruptcy saved the auto industry. That allowed GM and Chrysler to survive in some form and return to profitability. I would not give credit to Barack Obama. As a matter of fact, I think his policies - continuing high taxes and allowing the unions to remain powerful - have caused more jobs to flee to Mexico.\"\n\nFord was one of many manufacturers represented at the 2017 North American International Auto Show\n\nI am in Motor City at a big time of year for the industry - the North America International Auto Show 2017 has just opened. It is a huge sparkly, bright white space where cars rotate on their stands, polished so hard the lights positioned just so that they seem to glow, rather than simply gleam.\n\nDespite the symbols of success and prosperity at the show and despite the health of the industry, the American worker feels insecure.\n\nThe Ford stand at the show is particularly impressive but I am drawn to a prototype, a silver car. Not particularly special looking - apart from the round cameras on its windscreen and roof rack-like sensors running along its length. On its side it says \"autonomous vehicle development\" and underneath \"on the road by 2021\".\n\nFord made an important announcement at the beginning of this year - they would invest $700m (£580m) in a plant just outside Detroit, a few miles from here, to make an electric SUV and driverless car.\n\nAnd - this is where the politics comes in - they would cancel their plan to build a new engine plant in Mexico, something Mr Trump had called \"an absolute disgrace\", He thanked Ford and said it was only the beginning.\n\nDonald Trump has pledged to impose tariffs on goods produced outside the US\n\nSo, has Mr Trump's policy of imposing tariffs on goods made outside the USA - mocked as impractical by many - already paid off, before he is even in the White House?\n\nDarrin thinks not. He is a newly-elected Democratic representative in Michigan's state house - and says without the bailout he would not be where he is now. His dad was an auto worker and Darrin argues that if the local economy had failed he would never have made it to college. But what about Mr Trump?\n\n\"I know he likes to take credit for a lot of different economic activities that have happened but the truth is that project had been in the works for a lot longer than the last couple of weeks, or even November.\n\n\"Part of this is some of these companies are trying to get out ahead of it, saying 'this isn't really Donald Trump doing this work, its really the unions and management getting together and looking for opportunities'. My read of it is that they want[ed] to put it in place before he was in office so he didn't take credit for it. But he did anyway.\"\n\n\"That decision had a lot to do with the fact that Americans are not buying small cars, they're buying pick-ups and SUVs.\n\n\"I think a lot of the Mexico investment had to do with small cars that have thin profit margins and you have a little bit of a better profit margin if you are using Mexican labour. It's very much a commercial decision.\"\n\nUnion leader Steve says this will be the way of President Trump.\n\n\"When the news came out [that] we had the autonomous car coming here, we had it coming up on Facebook and Twitter: 'Thank you Donald Trump!'\" he laughs.\n\n\"Trump did it already! He's not even in office so, that was a kind of misleading. But he puts it out there and, all of a sudden, any positive news he's going take credit for.\"\n\nThis will be the test of Mr Trump and the media. It is easy to mock the bombast. But the first evidence suggests crude and forceful plans may have played at least a part in changing the mind of a multinational.\n\nMore to the point, we have witnessed what may be a trademark of this presidency. He may have been pushing against an open door, but Mr Trump has very loudly portrayed himself as the author of a positive story.\n\nSophisticated observers may question if he deserves the plaudits but if America applauds he will reap the rewards.\n\nListen to Mark Mardell's report from Michigan for The World This Weekend via BBC iPlayer.

We can use them to activate gadgets and prove who we are to banks.\n\nAnd now researchers believe they can also reveal whether we're getting ill.\n\nA US start-up called Canary Speech is developing a way of analysing conversations using machine learning to test for a number of neurological and cognitive diseases, ranging from Parkinson's to dementia.\n\nThe project was born out of a painful personal experience for the firm's co-founder Henry O'Connell.\n\n\"It has been my pleasure to have as a friend for nearly 30 years a dear gentleman who was diagnosed six years ago with Parkinson's disease,\" says Mr O'Connell.\n\n\"My friend was told when the diagnosis was finally made that it was likely that he had been suffering from Parkinson's for over 10 years.\"\n\nAs with so many diseases, early diagnosis can play a crucial role in effectively managing the condition, but recent research highlights the difficulties in correctly diagnosing it, with doctors often struggling to distinguish the symptoms.\n\nAnd the longer the condition goes undiagnosed, the more severe the symptoms become.\n\n\"During the years before his diagnosis was accurately made, my friend, suffering from muscle and apparent nerve-related pain, was treated in several medical facilities,\" says Mr O'Connell.\n\n\"The muscle and nerve-related pain were directly associated with a progressing Parkinson's illness. Because it went undiagnosed, proper treatment was delayed and his Parkinson's progressed potentially more rapidly than it would have under proper diagnosis and treatment.\"\n\nCanary Speech developed algorithms after examining the speech patterns of patients with particular conditions, including Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's.\n\nThis enabled them to spot a number of tell-tale signs both pre and post-diagnosis, including the kinds of words used, their phrasing, and the overall quality of speech.\n\nFor instance, one symptom of the disease is a softening of the voice - something than can be easily overlooked by those close to us. But Canary Speech's software is capable of picking up such small changes in speech patterns.\n\nFellow co-founder Jeff Adams was previously chief executive at Yap, the company bought by Amazon and whose technology subsequently formed the core of the tech giant's voice-activated Echo speaker.\n\nSome studies suggest our speech patterns can give an early indication of Alzheimer's disease\n\nThe overall goal is to be able to spot the onset of these conditions considerably sooner than is currently possible. In initial trials, the software was used to provide real-time analysis of conversations between patients and their clinicians.\n\nAs with so many machine learning-based technologies, it will improve as it gains access to more data to train the algorithms that underpin it.\n\nAnd as more voice-activated devices come on to the market and digital conversations are recorded, the opportunities to analyse all this data will also increase.\n\nSome researchers have analysed conversations between patients and drug and alcohol counsellors, for example, to assess the degree of empathy the therapists were displaying.\n\n\"Machine learning and artificial intelligence has a major role to play in healthcare,\" says Tony Young, national clinical lead for innovation at NHS England.\n\n\"You only have to look at the rapid advancements made in the last two years in the translation space. Machine learning won't replace clinicians, but it will help them do things that no humans could previously do.\"\n\nIt is easy to see how such technology could be applied to teaching and training scenarios.\n\nVoice analysis is also being used in commercial settings.\n\nFor instance, tech start-up Cogito, which emerged from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, analyses the conversations taking place between customer service staff and customers.\n\nThey monitor interactions in real time. Their machine learning software compares the conversation with its database of successful calls from the past.\n\nThe team believes that it can provide staff with real-time feedback on how the conversation is going, together with advice on how to guide things in a better direction - what it calls \"emotional intelligence\".\n\nCogito's software gives real-time tips to customer service staff as they talk to customers\n\nThese tips can include altering one's tone or cadence to mirror that of the customer, or gauging the emotions on display to try to calm the conversation down.\n\nIt's even capable of alerting the supervisor if it thinks that greater authority would help the conversation reach a more positive conclusion. The advice uses the same kind of behavioural economics used so famously by the UK government's Behavioural Insights Team, also known as the Nudge Unit.\n\nEarly customers of Cogito's product, including Humana, Zurich and CareFirst BlueCross, report an increase in customer satisfaction of around 20%.\n\nAs the internet of things spreads its tentacles throughout our lives, voice analysis will undoubtedly be added to other biometric ways of authenticating ourselves in a growing number of situations.\n\nGoogle's Project Abacus, for example, is dedicated to killing passwords, given that 70% of us apparently forget them every month.\n\nIt plans to use our speech patterns - not just what we say but how we say it - in conjunction with other behavioural data, such as how we type, to build up a more reliable picture of our identity. Our smartphones will know who we are just by the way we use them.\n\nThe big - silent - elephant in the room is how all this monitoring and analysis of our voices will impact upon our right to privacy.\n\nFollow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter and Facebook\n\nClick here for more Technology of Business features", "Dan Fitchett scores in the last few seconds of the match to give non-league Sutton United a 3-1 victory against 10-man AFC Wimbledon in their FA Cup third-round replay.\n\nWatch all the best action from the FA Cup third-round replays here.\n\nFA People's Cup: Free five-a-side competition returns for 2017 - sign up now!\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nSidney Toledano is \"very pleased\". The spectacular fashion show he has just been watching has gone well.\n\nThe event, staged last September in a vast hall in the grounds of the Musee Rodin in Paris, featured designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the new artistic director of Christian Dior, the fashion house run by Mr Toledano.\n\nMs Chiuri is the first woman to be the creative head at Dior.\n\nThe time is right for change, says Mr Toledano. \"Who can understand better than a woman the needs of a woman, and express [her] identity today… in the West, in China, wherever in the world?\" he says.\n\nMs Chiuri's show, which was well received by critics, displayed a feminist tone, including a T-shirt with a slogan that read \"We Should All Be Feminists\".\n\nMaria Grazia Chiuri is the first woman to be the creative head at Dior\n\nIn 2017, the House of Dior celebrates its 70th anniversary. In an industry where the new is all-important, keeping brands fresh over the long term is tricky. But there are probably few people who know as much about how to do this as Sidney Toledano, who has run Dior since the 1990s.\n\nHe grew up in Casablanca in Morocco, where one of his closest friends was Joseph Ettedgui, who later went on to establish the successful fashion retail chain, Joseph, in the UK.\n\nYou can't identify a fashion classic through a marketing plan, says Dior boss Sidney Toledano\n\nYou need to keep your design team onside. \"You don't send a memo to tell them what to do,\" says Mr Toledano\n\nIn the 1950s and 1960s, Mr Toledano recalls, Casablanca's lifestyle attracted a cosmopolitan crowd from Europe and the US. \"I grew up seeing people very well dressed, and this is one reason why I like fashion.\n\n\"It was about feeling good - to have the right shirt, to have the right pair of jeans,\" he says. \"Joseph and many of my friends had the same culture.\"\n\nDespite his interest in fashion, Mr Toledano ended up training as an engineer. He found the disciplines he learnt during his studies helpful in his later career.\n\nBut it was not until he went to work for the French footwear business Kickers that he found his true vocation. The brand built a big following in the youth market for its boots and shoes soon after it was founded in 1970.\n\n\"It was my first contact with a different type of product,\" Mr Toledano recalls. \"I discovered the promise of comfort, quality, excellence and design.\"\n\nPerhaps the most important lesson he learnt from his time at Kickers, he says, was that \"you don't build a name from nowhere\". The bedrock of a successful company, at least in the fashion world, is one or more \"iconic\" products, which can provide a springboard for building a reputation, he says.\n\nA product like this confers certain advantages, explains Mr Toledano. It can act as an ambassador for the brand. It can also be almost endlessly re-versioned by a new designer, offering the chance to create something fresh and contemporary, while simultaneously celebrating the brand's heritage.\n\nHe cites the example of the Bar jacket, which was first designed by Christian Dior himself in 1947. It has remained an emblematic product ever since, being reinterpreted by the creative directors who followed, such as John Galliano, Raf Simons, and now Maria Grazia Chiuri.\n\nDior's new collection went down in postwar fashion history as the \"New Look\"\n\nSo how do you create one of these key items in the first place?\n\nAt Dior today, Mr Toledano says, when new people (some with master's degrees in business, or MBAs) join the company, they often say to him, \"let's launch a new iconic product,\" to which he replies, \"if you define it like that, you won't do it.\"\n\nFor him, a classic item is \"like a talented baby\".\n\n\"You have to recognise and identify it - but you don't do it through a marketing plan.\"\n\nInstead, he says, the answer is to create the right conditions, making sure the culture and atmosphere are conducive to creativity. Above all else, you must maintain excellent relations with your design team. \"You don't send a memo to tell them what to do,\" he says.\n\nA fashion house boss needs make sure its culture and atmosphere are conducive to creativity, says Mr Toledano\n\nHe likens a fashion house chief executive's role to that of the director of an opera, who has to ensure that the conductor, singers, orchestra and audience are all happy.\n\nMr Toledano adds that it's a job that requires intuition and maturity, and to be able to get on well with others.\n\nThe approach he employs at Dior - a range that mixes classic and new items, created by designers he believes have exceptional talent - offers much to admire, say experts.\n\nMr Toledano is right to believe that \"you can't make an iconic product to order\", says consultant and author Peter York, who has advised many large luxury businesses. \"That really does depend on the spirit of the times and a brilliant designer and a happy coincidence.\"\n\nMagic can happen, says Mr Toledano - \"it's an attitude in life\"\n\nBut the approach is not an easy path to follow and can be risky, says Mr York, since it inevitably places great emphasis on the qualities of a few people at the top.\n\n\"There's a real danger that the original spirit of the business goes when one man or one woman goes and gets replaced by a committee of MBAs,\" he says. \"If you lose your genius you have a bumpy time until you find another one.\"\n\nFor Sidney Toledano, there's another factor to consider: luck. Just like a classic product, this cannot be made to order.\n\nBut, he says, with the right approach and careful preparation, magic can happen.\n\n\"It's an attitude in life - if a big wave comes, you have to be able to face it, which means a lot of work.\"", "Drone footage shows an Antarctic ice crack which opened late last year.\n\nThe British Antarctic Survey is to pull all staff out of its space-age Halley base in March because of the crack.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nNon-league Lincoln City reached the FA Cup fourth round for the first time in 41 years as Nathan Arnold's injury-time strike secured a deserved victory over Ipswich at Sincil Bank.\n\nArnold fired home in the first of four added minutes to secure a famous triumph against the Championship side.\n\nThe Imps were dominant throughout and a bigger margin of victory against a team 59 places higher in the league pyramid would not have flattered them.\n\nThey now host Brighton in round four.\n\nAfter twice coming from behind at Portman Road to earn a replay in the first meeting, Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy promised his side had noted the lessons of that scare.\n\nBut if they had learned anything, his players were unable to put it into practice, managing just one decent attempt on the Lincoln goal in 90 uninspiring minutes.\n• None Reaction to all of Tuesday's third-round replays\n• None Chris Sutton cannot contain himself as Lincoln score late winner\n\nGraham Taylor was in charge of Lincoln the last time they reached the fourth round, so it was fitting the National League leaders matched that achievement on the night the club paid tribute to their former manager.\n\nLincoln's run in the cup was just one highlight among many during Taylor's managerial reign between 1972 and 1977, which was followed by successful spells at Watford and Aston Villa before landing the England job in 1990.\n\nA minute's applause was held before kick-off in memory of Taylor, who died on 12 January at the age of 72, and he was remembered again later in the match with more applause and a show of lights from fans in the stands.\n\nBut far and away the best tribute was saved until the end when Lincoln substitute Adam Marriott's pass sent Arnold sprinting clear of the Ipswich defence and he rounded the goalkeeper before knocking the ball into an empty net.\n\nWhat now for abject Ipswich?\n\nFormer Ipswich defender Terry Butcher, who was at Sincil Bank for BBC Sport, did not hold back in his criticism of his old club.\n\n\"I can't remember ever being so embarrassed and humiliated as an Ipswich fan,\" he told BBC Radio 5 live. \"Ipswich lost the wrong way, not enough fight, not enough passion.\n\n\"I am bitterly disappointed.

He believes that moving the limit to 28 days would be good for furthering scientific understanding.\n\nProf Fishel, who founded the CARE Fertility Group, said: \"I believe the benefits we will gain by eventually moving forwards when the case is proven will be of enormous importance to human health.\"\n\nObserving how the embryo changes over weeks could shed light on why some early miscarriages occur, he says.\n\nEmbryos normally implant in the wall of the uterus at around day seven and still resemble a ball of cells at that stage.\n\nIt takes weeks of rapid cell division and growth before it begins to resemble something more baby-like, with a beating heart, developing eyes and budding limbs.\n\nMagdalena Zernicka-Goetz has developed a technique that could, theoretically, allow embryos to survive for longer in the lab than the current legal limit of 14 days.\n\nThe Cambridge University professor says: \"We know that a lot of pregnancies fail on the time of implantation which is day seven. So now we can identify events which are not happening correctly and how in future we can help them occur normally.\"\n\nBut there are many who are concerned about extending the legal limit.\n\nProf Fishel said: \"There are some religious groups that will be fundamentally against IVF, let alone IVF research in any circumstances, and we have to respect their views.\"\n\nThe 14-day rule was first suggested in the UK in 1984. With the advent of IVF, a committee, chaired by Mary Warnock, was set up to look at the ethics and regulation of this new technology.\n\nIt concluded that the human embryo should be protected, but that research on embryos and IVF would be permissible, given appropriate safeguards.\n\nSetting a cut-off was tricky. For example, should it be based on when an embryo develops a nervous system that might begin to detect pain? At the time, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists suggested 17 days as a limit - the point at which early neural development begins.\n\nThe Warnock report settled on 14 days - when the embryo is a distinct individual and can no longer form a twin.\n\nThat recommendation is now decades old. Some say it should be reviewed.\n\nDavid Jones, founder of the Centre of Bioethics and Emerging Technologies, is against changing the limit.\n\n\"It would be a stepping stone to the culturing of embryos and even foetuses outside the womb. You are really beyond the stage when the embryo would otherwise implant and that is a step towards to creating womb like environment outside. People will then ask why can't we shift it beyond 28 days?\"\n\nA recent YouGov poll of 1,740, commissioned by the BBC, found that 48% of the UK general public supported increasing the limit up to 28 days, 19% wanted to keep the present limit of 14 days and 10% wanted a total ban.\n\nBut one in four of those questioned said they did not know, suggesting some may need more information to reach an informed opinion.\n\nBBC Radio 4's two-part documentary 'Revisiting the 14 day rule' starts on Tuesday 17 January at 11:00 GMT.", "Working fathers are frequently reducing their hours or taking on a less stressful role in order to balance their work and family lives, a new study has found.\n\nAccording to the charity Working Families, a third of fathers they surveyed said they would take a pay cut in order to be more involved in their children's lives and as many again said they felt burnt out trying to juggle work and parental responsibilities.\n\nBBC audiences have been sharing their experiences about how they cope.\n\n\"I worked as a sound engineer for six or seven days-a-week for ten years, with no specific work times, no overtime and no extra pay. That's just how the industry works.\n\n\"On top of that I had to get home early so my wife Kim could go to work in the evenings, she had to work so we could pay the rent on the house.\n\n\"A couple of months ago I had to quit my job because I was asked to to work evenings too, and evenings are the only time I get with my family.\n\n\"I quickly got another job but things are even worse. This new job has no holidays and no regular working hours at all.\n\n\"I have had numerous opportunities to work abroad but I declined them so I could be a part of my daughter's life as she grows up.\n\n\"I've decided to quit my new job, and today after just two months I'm leaving.\n\n\"Now I'm looking to start a business where I can spend more time with my family.\"\n\nJessica: \"My husband and I made the decision when our son was born that I should work full time and he would work part time and be the stay-at-home parent. This is because, as a woman, I get far more rights as a working mother than he would as a working father.\n\n\"I am entitled to flexible working and have more legal rights. I work 36 hours a week and he works between 16 and 18, split over a Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon which means we are at home together on a Saturday and our son only has to go to a nursery for one afternoon a week.\n\n\"It's been eight months and it's working so far. Dan is happy because he is at home with our son and also has a job so he feels like he is contributing to our income and Louis (our son) is happy because he has a parent at home during the week.\n\n\"We earn enough to get by and get no help from the state with our son other than child benefit.\"\n\n\"In my role, it's really hard to find a healthy work-life-balance. In a lot of companies you will get benefits, such as salary increase based on the effort you invest into your job. If you are not focused on your career, then you will get no increase or not the amount that would be needed.\n\n\"If you are focused just on your career you will miss beautiful moments with your child.\n\n\"If you would like to spend more time taking care of your child, you have to work hard. Then it becomes a circle, like an infinite loop, that you cannot close.\n\n\"Some people advise to either not work that hard or to move to another company, but this is nonsense. Why? Because your family needs money. More money comes from higher appreciation at work. This comes from more hard work. However, it will also reduce the time you have for your family.\n\n\"In addition, the parental leave we have here in Hungary is near to nothing. We get two days of parental leave per year per child, which is not enough. Salary increases are also not a trend here, at least not in my case.\"\n\n\"I jumped off the career ladder about five or six years ago - a decision taken with my wife to effectively swap roles; she'd worked part-time since the first of our two sons was born.\n\n\"She wanted to get back to her career, and I was painfully aware of missing out on being around my boys. We had enough cash to fall back on that my not working for a while wouldn't cause problems and then I started working part-time from home as a writer.\n\n\"There are a lot of unexpected barriers and challenges when you're a stay-at-home dad - they almost all boil down to other people's attitudes.\n\n\"It's important to accept that balance comes at a cost.\"\n\n\"When the time came that I wanted to get back to work I met some almost hostile responses. Many people struggled to accept that a man would want to spend more time at home with his kids for a while.\n\n\"I asked a few of them 'would you be so negative in the face of a woman returning to work after a prolonged child-related career break?' The answer was always 'no' and was often followed by an uncomfortable acceptance that they were regarding me differently solely because of my gender.\n\n\"It's a real eye-opener into tacit acceptance of gender-defined roles in society. That's something facing both men and women and it needs to change.\n\n\"These days I work as a copywriter for a marketing agency. I spend three days in the office and two days at home. It feels like a good balance. But it's important to accept that balance comes at a cost.\n\n\"I earn about a third less than I did about six years ago and half what I might be earning had I stayed on the career ladder. But it's definitely been worth it.\"\n\n\"Nearly three years ago I changed jobs. I took a pay cut purely for the reason of getting a better work-life balance and importantly to spend more time with my two kids. It is a move that I have not regretted.\n\n\"Previously the stress levels I was working under were making me ill. The previous job also was further away from home, so I was spending between three-and-a-half to four hours travelling every day.\n\n\"My wife and I both still work full time - we could not afford the mortgage otherwise. Life is still a struggle, but we get by.\n\n\"Family is so much more important than a career.\"\n\n\"The family have breakfast together every morning now. I can now see that my kids leave home to get on the bus to school before I travel to work. I work one day a week from home and that also is invaluable.\n\n\"It means I can help with things like getting the kids to and from after-school activities - both my children are members of the local swimming club and train for around 10 hours a week.\n\n\"Family is so much more important than a career. My new employer, Virgin Media, has been good to me.\"\n\n\"I have struggled with this for many years, choosing to be paid at 80% while working 100%. I forego a larger salary for the right to look my colleagues in the eye when I'm leaving early two afternoons a week to meet the school bus.\n\n\"Yet as a manager, my commitment and my ability to manage has been called into question a few times. 'Why don't you get an au pair?' I've been asked. Or 'why don't you ask your wife to work less?'\n\n\"As a man, I know the expectations on men can be tough when we want to step out of a stereotype.\"\n\n\"I think this is a very important area for the UK to improve. My daughter was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Canadian law is much more even-handed.\n\n\"At the time my wife was self-employed and so I was able to take our entire allocation of parental leave. This allowed me to be there full time for my daughter for the first eight months of her life.\n\n\"I also had the great fortune to be working for a very enlightened employer whose policy topped up my state allowance to 95% of my salary.\n\n\"To say this was the most important and precious time of my life is an understatement. It allowed my wife and I to fully share the role of parenting and I feel we are much stronger as a family as a result.\n\n\"As a middle manager I was the first man to take advantage of this at my job and contrary to complaining and worrying about how they would cope, my bosses were more concerned with baby showers. I felt totally supported.\n\n\"What did the employer get out of this? A whole lot of loyalty and an employee that worked hard happily, who dealt with personnel issues with compassion and empathy and a very low staff turnover rate. All intangible I know, but as an employer, if you go to bat for your employees, they will do the same for you.\"\n\n\"Living and working in the Middle East has posed even larger issues with work-life balance.\n\n\"With the constant drive to meet deadlines, as well as meeting client expectations, work-life balance is generally not taken into account by bosses.\n\n\"Due to ensuring that the clients are kept happy and that revenue is maximised, it is rare that I and a lot of others in this part of the world are allowed to take more than two weeks leave at a time, even though by law we are entitled to four weeks a year paid vacation.\n\n\"Due to the excessive client expectations, six-day working weeks are the norm so getting time to spend with your family is far and few between, to the extent that I will pull a sickie if I know my kid, wife or both have an impromptu day off (my wife is a teacher and my kid is in nursery).\n\n\"I'm constantly looking for work outside the Middle East that offers a better working schedule so I can spend time with my family.\"", "Theresa May will outline plans for Brexit in a speech on Tuesday\n\n\"The omens are all good,\" says the Sun. \"The PM and the country are in a far stronger position at this point than many dreamed, especially the Remainers.\"\n\n\"Britain must walk away from the EU,\" says the Daily Telegraph. \"The economic backdrop to the prime minister's speech remains auspicious.\"\n\nAccording to the Daily Mail, Mrs May will offer an inspiring vision of the sort of country Britain can become when unshackled from the \"sclerotic Brussels machine\".\n\nNot so, says the Daily Mirror. \"It's obvious the prime minister remains clueless about where she wants to take Britain and how we'll get to the destination.\"\n\nThere is considerable analysis of Donald Trump's interview with Michael Gove in the Times on Monday.\n\nThe Sun has a huge double-page picture of the president-elect in his office emblazoned with the headline \"Our Trump card\".\n\nIt says he is a big fan of the UK but sparked alarm across Europe, especially in Berlin, as he threw the weight of his incoming administration behind the break-up of the EU and hinted at a trade war.\n\nIt says German Chancellor Angela Merkel is pressing for a meeting with Mr Trump - it says she has been unable to arrange an appointment with him and has spoken to him only once.\n\nSources in Berlin, the paper says, have suggested a meeting is unlikely before spring.\n\nAccording to the Daily Mail, 20 hospital trusts are to take part in a pilot in which patients will be told to show a utility bill and passport before routine operations as part of a crackdown on health tourism.\n\nThe paper says this will include women planning to give birth as well as anyone having hip or knee replacements, cataract surgery or kidney dialysis.\n\nThe checks are said to be part of a joint pilot being run by the Home Office and health regulator NHS Improvement.\n\nThe 20 trusts involved are said to have run up the highest debts in health tourism.\n\nHalf of them are in London, the rest are in other English metropolitan areas including Birmingham and Manchester.\n\nTens of thousands of people have been on waiting lists for social housing for more than a decade, according to the Daily Mirror.\n\nThe paper quotes research from the Liberal Democrats suggesting that 104,000 people have been waiting more than five years, and at least 35,000 for more than 10 years.\n\n\"Behind every digit in the statistics,\" says the Mirror in an editorial, \"is a family or individual denied a secure, affordable, decent home.\n\n\"To build a better Britain, we need to construct far more social housing.

What an outrage!\"", "Tesco's recent spat with Unilever has highlighted fears of a new inflationary surge\n\nThe downward pressure on the pound since the UK's vote to leave the European Union is starting to lead to upward pressure on the prices of most things we buy.\n\nBrexit, as we have been told by the prime minister, means Brexit. But inflation also means inflation.\n\nThe pound has repeatedly lurched lower in value since the outcome of the June 2016 referendum. Against the dollar, it is now worth 20% less than it was before the vote, and that fall is unlikely to be reversed in a hurry.\n\nThe basic laws of economics dictate that this will translate into higher inflation: foreign firms exporting goods to the UK will continue to charge the same amount for them in euros, dollars or whatever, but they will cost more in sterling when the prices are converted.\n\nThat goes for finished goods, such as food and drink or clothing, but also for raw materials that are processed here, such as car parts. Global supply chains mean that more than 50% of the components in cars \"made in the UK\" are actually sourced from overseas.\n\nPetrol, too, is likely to go up in price, because oil is priced in dollars.\n\nShopping for clothes is likely to be more costly\n\nSo higher rates of inflation appear to be a foregone conclusion. The question is, how much higher? What will the consequences be? And will anyone gain from this, or are we all set to lose out?\n\nOne estimate of the extent of possible price rises has come from the former boss of Northern Foods, Lord Haskins, who told the BBC that he expected to see food price increases running at an annual rate of 5% by this time next year.\n\nHe was speaking in response to supermarket chain Tesco's recent spat with Unilever, which was trying to pass on its higher costs incurred because of sterling's weakness - though that dispute has since been resolved.\n\nThe cost of food is an important factor in calculating the overall inflation rate, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which is published on a monthly basis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).\n\nSome economists are predicting that the CPI could hit 3% by the end of 2017.\n\nIf overall inflation did climb to the level predicted by Lord Haskins, it could be nudging close to the highest rate in a decade. In recent years, there have been two peaks in CPI inflation, in September 2008 and September 2011. In both those months, it reached 5.2%.\n\nBy historical standards, however, that pales in comparison with the levels reached in the 1970s, when the UK experienced several years of double-digit inflation. The worst year was 1975, during which prices went up by an eye-watering 24.2%.\n\nWe are unlikely to return to those days. But of course, back then, the industrial climate was different, trade unions were stronger and large groups of workers were able to obtain pay rises to match, despite government attempts to impose wage restraint.\n\nNowadays, substantial pay rises are harder to come by, so a lower level of inflation can have a bigger effect on living standards.\n\nIf we have to spend more money on goods while our salaries fail to keep pace with rising prices, then we are all likely to suffer to some degree.\n\nIt will certainly make Bank of England governor Mark Carney's job harder, because the Bank has a 2% inflation target.\n\nIf it goes above that, it increases the likelihood that he will raise interest rates to combat it, thus making life harder for those who owe money, such as on mortgages.\n\nMr Carney has said that \"monetary policy can respond, in either direction, to changes in the economic outlook\" - meaning that the next move in interest rates could be up or down.\n\nHe has also spoken at length of the trade-off between price stability and other economic factors, meaning that the Bank will not necessarily rush to raise rates.\n\nBringing inflation back to target too rapidly could cause undesirable \"volatility in output and employment\", he says.\n\nBut at the same time, Mr Carney says \"there are limits to the extent to which above-target inflation can be tolerated\".\n\nIf you have a student loan, the level of interest charged is linked to a slightly different measure of inflation, the Retail Prices Index (RPI), and is not subject to the Bank of England's decisions.\n\nBut in most cases, a prolonged period of inflation reduces the value of people's debts, making them easier to pay off.\n\nIf inflation were to stay at that 5.2% level for 12 years, your debt would, in effect, be worth only half as much in real terms, because you would still owe the same number of pounds, but each of those pounds would have declined in value.\n\nPensioners may have trouble making their money last\n\nThe outcome is similarly mixed for pensioners. In their favour, state pensions are guaranteed by what is known as the \"triple lock\". In other words, they rise each year by the inflation rate, average earnings or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.\n\nHowever, private pensions are not similarly protected. And to make matters worse, retired people are likely to spend a higher proportion of their income on food and fuel, which are particularly affected by the pound's big devaluation.\n\nPensioners are also more likely to be living off income from savings, and savers are clobbered by high inflation. Just as inflation erodes the value of debts, it also reduces the spending power of money kept in bank accounts, because prices go up and your money doesn't, especially with the ultra-low interest rates paid by banks at the moment.\n\nSo there is no unalloyed benefit from higher inflation for anyone. But some will feel more pain than others, while borrowers will certainly benefit more than savers.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The prime minister declined four times to answer questions about when she had been aware of the \"misfire'\"\n\nUnder the gilt and candelabra of Lancaster House where Margaret Thatcher extolled the virtues of joining the single market, Theresa May has uttered some of the most important words she will ever deliver.\n\nShe has, for the first time explicitly, confirmed that she has decided not to try to preserve our membership of the European single market. Instead she is hoping to conclude a deal with the rest of the EU that will still give business the access it needs to trade with the rest of the continent without barriers, tariffs or any new obstacles.\n\nSince the referendum she and her ministers have simply refused to be so explicit. Some Remainers have argued that she ought to try to keep us in the vast partnership, the risks to the economy are too vast, and while it might be complicated to achieve, the prize is simply too great to give up.\n\nFor months some ministers have privately whispered about complex solutions that might keep elements of membership, the choices not being binary, mechanisms that might give a sort of membership with a different name.\n\nWell no more, the simple and clear message from Theresa May's speech is that we are out.

An earlier exclusive report by BBC News had revealed that, in that first week, 79.6% of patients were seen within four hours and only one hospital met the 95% target.\n\nThe new analysis by NHS Improvement, which oversees foundation and NHS trusts, reveals a general pattern of gradual improvement since the low of January 3, when the daily A&E rate reached a low of 75.8%. Over this weekend, the service managed to see more than 85% of patients inside the four-hour waiting target.\n\nA spokesman for NHS Improvement said: \"In the past few days, we've seen a real improvement in how quickly patients are being seen and discharged from accident and emergency departments - including to social care. But we know the pressures facing our hospitals will continue over the remaining weeks of winter and we're working hard to ensure they have the support they need to offer patients quick, safe, quality care.\"\n\nThe leak also reveals that, in the second week of January, 14,700 people who had been admitted to a hospital were left waiting for more than four hours to find a bed.\n\nOf these, 140 people endured so-called \"trolley waits\" of more than 12 hours. While these figures are well down on the first week in January, they remain historically high - up by 3,000 on the equivalent week two years ago.\n\nThere are further signs of vulnerability: for the week covered by the data, which runs 9 to 15 January, the number of beds in use remained an exceptionally high 95.3%, with 4.9% of the service's beds occupied because patients were stuck in hospitals awaiting transfer to another care provider (a so-called \"delayed transfer of care\").\n\nThis is well above the preferred rate of bed use. A large number of studies of hospital management have demonstrated how, when there are few spare hospital beds, even very modest further reductions in the number of free beds can dramatically increase the likelihood of any given patient being caught in a hospital backlog, which can lead to significant delays in care.\n\nThat high utilisation rate is why, in addition to the elevated rate of trolley waits, there were 177 cancelled operations. That figure is much higher than the previous week, but is likely to be distorted because of the Bank Holiday. The rate at which operations was being cancelled also fell during the week.\n\nThe strain on the service will have been eased because of the expected fall in traffic over the second week of the year, with average daily A&E attendances dropping from 50,993 in the first week of the year to 47,195 in the second.\n\nA spokesperson for NHS England added: \"We started planning for winter this year earlier than ever before and will continue to do everything we can to ensure the best care possible is being delivered.\"", "The question of whether Russia's leader Vladimir Putin has got material with which he could blackmail Donald Trump is for now unknowable and misses the point by a country mile: the two men think alike.\n\nMr Trump's belief in American traditionalism and dislike of scrutiny echo the Kremlin's tune: nation, power and aversion to criticism are the new (and very Russian) world order.\n\nYou could call this mindset Trumputinism.\n\nThe echo between the Kremlin and Trump Tower is strong, getting louder and very, very good news for Mr Putin.\n\nAs Trump signalled to Michael Gove on Monday, a new nuclear arms reduction deal seems to be in the offing linked to a review of sanctions against Russia.\n\nThe dog that did not bark in the night is Mr Trump's peculiar absence of criticism of Mr Putin, for example, on the Russian hacking of American democracy, his land-grab of Crimea and his role in the continuing war in Eastern Ukraine.\n\nWhat is odd is that Mr Trump, in his tweets, favours the Russia line over, say, the CIA and the rest of the American intelligence community.\n\nBut why on earth criticise the world leader with whom you most agree?\n\nThree men have egged along Trumputinism: Nigel Farage, who is clear that the European Union is a far bigger danger to world peace than Russia; his friend, Steve Bannon, who is now Mr Trump's chief strategist; and a Russian \"penseur\", Alexander Dugin.\n\nWith his long hair and iconic Slavic looks, Mr Dugin is variously described as \"Putin's Brain\" or \"Putin's Rasputin\".\n\nAlexander Dugin is described as \"Putin's Brain\"\n\nHe has his own pro-Kremlin TV show which pumps out Russian Orthodox supremacy in a curious mixture of Goebbels-style rhetoric and Songs of Praise.\n\nMr Dugin is widely believed to have the ear of the Kremlin.\n\nHe is also under Western sanctions for the ferocity of his statements in favour of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has cost 10,000 lives to date.\n\nMessrs Farage, Bannon and Dugin are all united that the greatest danger for Western civilisation lies in Islamist extremism.\n\nMr Bannon aired his views in a right-wing mindfest on the fringes of the Vatican in 2014.\n\nHe claimed that so-called Islamic State has a Twitter account \"about turning the United States into a 'river of blood'\".\n\n\"Trust me, that is going to come to Europe,\" he added. \"On top of that we're now, I believe, at the beginning stages of a global war against Islamic fascism.\"\n\nThe danger is that in allying yourself with the Kremlin in the way they fight \"Islamist fascism\" in say, Aleppo, you end up siding with what some have called \"Russian fascism\" or, at least, abandoning democratic values and the rules of war and, in so doing, become a recruiting sergeant for ISIS.\n\nIt is a risk on which Mr Dugin does not seem willing to reflect. My interview with him in Moscow did not end well.\n\nDugin posted a critical blog entry after walking out of his interview with John Sweeney\n\nFirst, he dismissed the chances that the Russians hacked American democracy as \"strictly zero\".\n\nI asked him about the depth of Mr Putin's commitment to democracy.\n\n\"Please be careful,\" he responded. \"You could not teach us democracy because you try to impose to every people, every state, every society, their Western, American or so-called American system of values without asking…and it is absolutely racist; you are racist.\"\n\nToo many of Mr Putin's critics end up dead - around 20 since he took power in 2000.\n\nI have met and admired three: Anna Politkovskaya, Natasha Estemirova and Boris Nemtsov.\n\nBoris Nemtsov was murdered close to the Kremlin in 2015\n\nMr Nemtsov was shot just outside the Kremlin's walls.\n\nI asked Mr Dugin what his death told us about Russian democracy.\n\n\"If you are engaged in Wikileaks you can be murdered,\" he countered.\n\nI then invited Mr Dugin to list the American journalists who have died under Barack Obama.\n\nMr Dugin did not oblige but told me that ours was a \"completely stupid kind of conversation\" and walked out of the interview.\n\nLater, he posted a blog to his 20,000 followers, illustrated with my photograph and accusing me of manufacturing \"fake news\" and calling me \"an utter cretin... a globalist swine\".\n\nSuch is the language of the new world order.\n\nA few days later I watched the press conference when Mr Trump closed down a question from a CNN reporter by accusing him of manufacturing \"fake news\".\n\nUnder Trumputinism, the echo between Russia and America is getting louder by the day.\n\nPanorama: The Kremlin Candidate?

She suffers from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a rare disorder of the immune system, which means she is allergic to almost everything, including her husband's scent.\n\nJohanna and Scott Watkins's date nights are very different from other couples.\n\n\"Scott and I will try to watch a show together. We can't be in the room together, because I'm allergic to him, but he will be three floors below me in a room on his laptop and I will be on mine and we'll watch the show at the same time and then text about it as we're watching it,\" says Johanna.\n\nJohanna lives in an attic room all by herself with sealed windows and doors, and air filters to purify the air. She has a severe form of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in which the cells that are meant to protect her from outside threats mutate and start attacking her body instead.\n\nOn their wedding day the couple were unaware Johanna's condition would become so severe\n\nThe symptoms and severity of the disease can vary from patient to patient, but it makes Johanna allergic to virtually everything and can trigger life-threatening anaphylactic shock.\n\nBefore she married her husband Scott in 2013 Johanna did not expect her condition to become so severe. She worked as a teacher and the couple used to love hiking together. Even then she struggled with unusual rashes, irritable bowel syndrome and migraines, but these ailments became much worse after the couple married.\n\n\"There were times three and four years ago, before we got the diagnosis, that if I was extra close to my wife, specifically if my face was close to Johanna's face, she would cough,\" says Scott.\n\nBut it was only last year that the couple realised they had become unable to physically share their life together.\n\n\"We had noticed that when Scott would come in [to the room] I would start feeling worse and worse. My normal daily symptoms would just be aggravated,\" says Johanna. \"And then at one point he went to get his haircut and came back in the room and within two minutes I had started my anaphylactic symptoms and he had to leave.\"\n\nA week later Scott tried to see his wife again, but the same thing happened, and they realised their lives would have to change dramatically.\n\n\"It was this horrible reality that it wasn't going to work,\" says Johanna. \"I was now reacting strongly to my husband. Before this I had reacted to my parents, to many, many other people, but it was horrific when it became Scott.\"\n\nThe treatment and medication that is usually given to MCAS sufferers does not help Johanna, so at the moment the couple do not know when - if ever - their situation will change.\n\n\"There's not an easy way around this problem. I want to keep Johanna safe and me going to see her compromises her safety,\" says Scott. \"One of the ways I can take care of her now is by not going to see her. I'm not going to endanger her life. We're absolutely committed to one another and we're going to wait as long as it takes to see if there is some kind of healing.\"\n\nDoctors are trying different treatments, but none so far have helped.\n\n\"They don't know if I will get well, and so we hope and we pray that I will,\" says Johanna. \"I have had anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction, more times than we can keep track of. My life could end quickly. Life is frail - it can end.\"\n\nBut Scott will be part of her life for as long as it continues, she says.\n\n\"On our wedding day we made vows to each other that till death do us part. No matter what life brought.\n\n\"I can tell you that even if I have this until I'm 90 years old, I would be committed to my husband with that vow and still love him.\"\n\nJohanna and Scott are no longer able to hold each other's hands\n\nScott says they do sometimes get angry and frustrated about their situation.\n\n\"I've had to release a lot of what I expected for myself and I've had to accept what has been given to us,\" says Scott.\n\nHe adds: \"Johanna and I are good at talking, we talk a lot, we try to communicate a lot, so one thing that we've found that's helpful is just bringing each other into what's going on in our lives as best we can because we're not able to be together.\"\n\nScott works full-time as a teacher and then returns home every evening to cook Johanna's food.\n\n\"It's one of the ways that I can care for her, and every other day for the past year I've had one of my dear friends come and they help [me] cook for Johanna,\" he says. \"She can only eat two meals, so she's been eating the same two meals for over a year.\"\n\nJohanna can only tolerate 15 different foods, including spices, so she eats either beef chuck roast (beef stew) with organic celery, carrot and parsnip or organic lamb with turmeric, cinnamon and cucumber.\n\nJohanna has not responded to any treatment so far, including four rounds of chemotherapy\n\nThe couple are currently living in the family home of their friends, the Olsons, while their own home is renovated to make it a safe living space for Johanna. The Olson family have given up using all scented products and do not cook in their house at all.\n\n\"I have had severe reactions to someone smoking a cigarette down the block,\" says Johanna. \"I have had severe reactions to the pizza place that's a mile down the street, and all my windows are closed and sealed in the room with special filters.\n\n\"But just if the wind blows it on the right direction that day and I get even a whiff I can have a severe reaction. The house is quite large and I'm at the top level, and if an onion were to be cut in the kitchen I have had a severe reaction.\"\n\nJohanna has not left the attic room for more than a year, except to visit the hospital in an emergency or to see her doctor. Every morning she listens to a playlist of songs and then might write or answer an email to a friend, or video-call her young nieces.\n\nThe only people she does not have a life-threatening reaction to are her siblings, who help take care of her. Before they enter her room, they have to avoid eating strongly spiced food, shower with a special soap and strip down to their underwear. As soon as they walk in, they put on masks and special clothes that have never left Johanna's room.\n\nDespite all these precautions, Johanna's symptoms still become worse after their visit.\n\n\"I think growing up in America, it's common for us to just think, 'Oh OK if there's a disease there'll be a medical solution, it will be fixed and I'll move on with my life,'\" says Johanna. \"So being diagnosed and becoming this ill, [there was] definitely a grieving process that I went through.\"\n\nBut the fact that Scott is downstairs in the same house and that she can talk to him on the phone is a huge comfort, says Johanna.\n\n\"I have many gifts in my life, many blessings that I have to be thankful for,\" she says. \"And that reminds me to not become selfish and just make it all about me.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nCoverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nSix-time Australian Open champion Serena Williams progressed to the second round with a straight-set win over Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic.\n\nThe American, 35, beat her 19-year-old opponent 6-4 6-3 in 79 minutes in scorching conditions in Melbourne.\n\nThe world number two, attempting to win a record 23rd Grand Slam singles title, said she \"has nothing to lose\".\n\n\"Every match I'm playing for fun.

How he measures up will likely define the rest of his career.\n\nBottas might not be the most exciting of choices for Mercedes. Fans around the world would have loved to see Hamilton battle McLaren's Fernando Alonso again, or take on Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen, or Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. But his appeal to Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff is obvious.\n\nBottas is Wolff's attempt to find a like-for-like replacement for German Nico Rosberg, who dropped Mercedes in the mire by announcing his retirement last year, five days after clinching his first world title. And it's not just about their blond hair or Finnish ancestry.\n\nBottas shares many of Rosberg's characteristics. Both are calm, unobtrusive characters, who are generally pliable and understanding in terms of working with the team and lack the demanding nature of a Hamilton or Alonso.\n\nOn the track they are consistent, largely error-free performers. And Bottas has proved himself a resilient and hard racer.\n\nWolff should - he hopes - be able to plug Bottas in and carry on pretty much where Mercedes left off in the past few years.\n\nWolff rates Bottas extremely highly. But now he has joined Mercedes, the big question is: how good is he?\n\nThere have been flashes of brilliance - such as qualifying third in the wet in an uncompetitive Williams in Canada in 2013 - that suggest a real talent.\n\nAnd overall, the general perception is Bottas' record against Felipe Massa at Williams over the past three years is similar to Alonso's against the Brazilian at Ferrari before that.\n\nBut the facts do not bear that out. While Bottas and Alonso beat Massa in both qualifying and races, the Spaniard's advantage over the Brazilian was significantly bigger.\n\nDirectly comparing the data suggests Bottas is as much as 0.2-0.3 seconds per lap slower than Alonso and considerably less effective in races.\n\nNeither Massa nor Bottas have been team-mates to Hamilton. But Alonso has - at McLaren in 2007. They finished tied on points, with four wins each, and Hamilton edged qualifying by the tiniest of margins. By any measure, it was - and is - very difficult to separate Hamilton and Alonso.\n\nIf 2017 follows the trend of those results, Hamilton can be expected to be comfortably quicker than Bottas.\n\nPerhaps more surprising is that those comparisons suggest that not only is Bottas not a match for Alonso and Hamilton, but he might not equal Rosberg either.\n\nHowever, drivers' form does not always directly translate across teams and rivals in as linear a fashion as might be expected.\n\nIt is up to Bottas to prove the comparisons wrong and grab the opportunity with both hands.\n\nBottas was always the only realistic option once Wolff decided against Mercedes junior Pascal Wehrlein. Bottas is quick, dependable, has had a management relationship with Wolff, and raced for a team that had Mercedes engines, and with which a deal therefore might more easily be done.\n\nAll the A-list drivers - Alonso, Ricciardo, Verstappen and Vettel - were not available. They are under contract to leading teams that would have been left in a similar position to Mercedes had they allowed them to leave.\n\nBut if they had been available, Wolff may not have wanted most of them anyway.\n\nPart of the decision to sign the same type of driver as Rosberg was a desire to retain the team dynamic.\n\nRosberg and Hamilton worked for Mercedes because only one of them saw it as a right and expectation to be in front. Spoken or not, there was a natural order. They were, as one senior Mercedes insider once put it, \"a great driver and a very good one\".\n\nThis is a way of keeping the rivalry manageable and under control without the need for too much team interference.\n\nThe faster driver - Hamilton - knows he will win most of the time as long as he performs at his best. And the other one - a different personality - is able to keep defeat in perspective more easily when it happens.\n\nAs Wolff put it on Monday: \"Valtteri shares our values and passion, and he's modest, humble and hard-working.\"\n\nBut there is a possibility the team dynamic will change anyway.\n\nHow might it affect Hamilton?\n\nDaimler chairman Dieter Zetsche recently provided an amusing insight into Mercedes' relationship with Hamilton.\n\nTalking to Autocar magazine about how he heard the news of Rosberg's retirement, Zetsche said: \"I was stepping out of the shower lacking any clothes and my phone was ringing. And I saw it was Toto and I thought: 'Oh, again something with Lewis!'\"\n\nHis remarks confirm the open secret that Hamilton is not an easy driver to manage.\n\nLike all drivers of his stature, Hamilton can be awkward over PR appearances and other such matters that are expected of drivers but they find tiresome. And he has repeatedly bucked against the authority of the team.\n\nIn ignoring orders to speed up while 'backing' Rosberg into rivals in the title-deciding race in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton was metaphorically sticking two fingers up to team management.\n\nWolff initially said he would consider what actions to take. Then, Hamilton spoke of feeling \"disrespected\" by that call. Following Rosberg's retirement, Wolff and soon-to-leave technical boss Paddy Lowe said the orders should not have been issued.\n\nThroughout last season, Hamilton repeatedly brought up the reliability disparity that was giving Rosberg an advantage in their title battle.\n\nIn Malaysia - after his engine failed while he was leading, costing him the championship lead and, as it turned out, the title - he went as far as saying \"something or someone doesn't want me to win this year\".\n\nMany interpreted that wrongly as a suggestion there was a conspiracy in the team. But even as a reference to bad luck or divine intervention, it is a statement that causes Mercedes problems.\n\nAfter Hamilton refused to take questions in a news conference at the Japanese Grand Prix last year, Wolff called such incidents \"collateral damage\", and insisted \"his performances in the car justify\" it.\n\nBut sometimes - if very rarely - Hamilton is not phenomenal in the car. And some in F1 question his 'off' weekends and occasional problematic behaviour as directly linked to his decision to pursue a Hollywood lifestyle. This, they argue, restricts his ability to perform at his absolute best all the time.\n\nThey see his jetting back and forth to the US as a lack of focus and blame it for weekends such as those in Baku and Singapore last year, where Hamilton quite patently, and for reasons that are not clear, just did not bring his 'A game'.\n\nAnd they believe it is facilitated by Mercedes' choice of a team-mate Hamilton knows he can handle.\n\nWolff and Hamilton, meanwhile, insist it is the freedom Mercedes give him to be himself that allows him to perform at his peak - and everyone has a bad day once in a while.\n\nAnd it seems more likely that the 'off' weekends are just part of him, and related to specific aspects of car behaviour, a set-up he cannot get right, or which he refuses to adapt to because he feels it is not working for him.\n\nHis occasional unpredictability is one of the reasons Mercedes need a strong team-mate for Hamilton - and not just to score regular points in the constructors' championship, the main reason Bottas was preferred over Wehrlein.\n\nWhile Rosberg was not on Hamilton's level as a driver, he was close enough to give Mercedes a viable alternative as a counter-balance.\n\nThe likelihood is Bottas will slot in and be - at least - a direct Rosberg replacement. While that is the case, Mercedes might not want a driver with a talent comparable to Hamilton - and the attitude that tends to come with it.\n\nBut if he can't challenge Hamilton regularly, Wolff might, for a number of reasons, wonder whether signing another superstar alongside Hamilton is not such a bad idea after all.\n\nVettel and Alonso, both out of contract at the end of the year, will be watching this with interest.\n\nBottas will go into Mercedes aiming to win races and titles, but he will be as aware as anyone of the challenge facing him.\n\nHamilton will likely already feel emboldened, his position strengthened by Rosberg's departure, and a weaker team-mate would only enhance that feeling.", "An Afghan woman made famous by a 1985 National Geographic cover has spoken exclusively to the BBC of her hope for a new beginning, after being deported from Pakistan.\n\nSharbat Gula now lives with her five-year-old son and three daughters in Kabul, where she says she wants to live a normal life after years of tragedy and hardship.\n\nHer portrait as a 10-year-old became an iconic image of Afghan refugees fleeing war.\n\nThe only time she has spoken to the media before now, her family says, was for a 2002 documentary after Steve McCurry, who took her original photo, tracked her down in Pakistan and found out who she was.\n\nSharbat Gula had no idea that her face had been famous around the world for almost 17 years.\n\nLike many Afghans, she sought refuge in Pakistan and lived there for 35 years - but she was imprisoned and deported last autumn for obtaining Pakistani identity papers \"illegally\".\n\n\"We had a good time there, had good neighbours, lived among our own Pashtun brothers. But I didn't expect that the Pakistani government would treat me like this at the end,\" Sharbat Gula told me at her temporary residence in Kabul.\n\nHer case highlighted the arbitrary arrest and forced deportation of Afghan refugees in the current spat between the two countries.\n\nIt has been illegal for non-Pakistanis to have IDs since they were first issued in the 1970s, but the law was often not enforced.\n\nNow sick and frail in her mid-40s, Sharbat Gula's haunting eyes are still piercing, full of both fear and hope.\n\nShe says she had already sold her house in Pakistan because she feared arrest there for \"not having proper documents to stay\".\n\nTwo days before a planned move back to Afghanistan, her house was raided late in the evening and she was taken to prison.\n\nSharbat Gula was sentenced to 15 days in prison\n\nPakistan's government has ordered all two million Afghan refugees on its soil to leave.\n\nSharbat Gula believes the Pakistani authorities wanted to arrest her before she left.\n\n\"I told the police that I have made this ID card for only two things - to educate my children and sell my house - which were not possible to do without the ID card.\"\n\nShe served a 15-day prison sentence, the first week in prison and the second in hospital where she was treated for hepatitis C.\n\n\"This was the hardest and worst incident in my life.\"\n\nRealising the reputational damage, Pakistan later offered to let her stay - but she refused.\n\n\"I told them that I am going to my country.

A lot of damage/destruction was done.\"\n\nHer mother died of appendicitis in the village when she was eight. Like hundreds of thousands of other Afghans, her family (her father, four sisters and one brother) migrated to Pakistan and started living in a tent in a refugee camp called Kacha Garahi, on the outskirts of Peshawar.\n\nShe was married at 13. But her husband, Rahmat Gul, was later diagnosed with hepatitis C and died about five years ago. Her eldest daughter also died of hepatitis three years ago, aged 22, leaving a two-month-old daughter.\n\nSharbat Gula met President Ashraf Ghani in the presidential palace on her return, and later former President Hamid Karzai.\n\n\"They gave me respect, warmly welcomed me. I thank them. May God treat them well.\"\n\nAfghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani received her at the presidential palace\n\nThe government has promised to support her financially and buy her a house in Kabul.\n\n\"I hope the government will fulfil all its promises,\" she told me.\n\nKot district is a stronghold of militants linked to the so-called Islamic State group, so she can't go home to her village.

It doesn't appear to be going terribly well.\n\nThe US president-elect has condemned Angela Merkel's decision to let in 890,000 migrants as a \"catastrophic mistake\" and dismissed the European Union as \"basically a vehicle for Germany\".\n\nHe has also threatened German car-maker BMW with a 35% tariff if it builds a plant in Mexico.\n\nHis remarks have provoked dismay, but not surprise, in Berlin. And it's still not clear when Chancellor Merkel will meet the new president.\n\nFor now the only certainty is that there will be no immediate reprise of the warm political alliance fostered by Mrs Merkel and Barack Obama.\n\nThe Merkel-Obama warmth, on the other hand, has survived difficult tests\n\nIt survived the embarrassing revelation that US spies hacked into Mrs Merkel's mobile phone, and he was a vocal supporter of both the EU and her decision to open Germany's doors to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees in 2015.\n\nThe president-elect, she said, had laid out - again - his position. Her own views, she added, were already well known.\n\nVice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel was less diplomatic, pointing out that the migrant crisis in Europe was the result of faulty, American interventionism in the Middle East.\n\nHow the transatlantic tone has changed.\n\nFor all his German heritage, Germans have not taken to Donald Trump.\n\nHis campaign rhetoric repulsed many here.

Her role as interlocutor between Russia and the West also gave her and Germany clout.\n\nThat may all be about to change, leaving Mrs Merkel to defend - perhaps single-handedly - the integrity of an EU whose fragmentation, it appears, would be welcomed not just by Moscow but by the new US administration too.\n\nSo Mr Trump's disdain for Nato, which he described as \"obsolete\", and his apparent contempt for the EU are causing concern at the highest level - and not just in Berlin.\n\nFrench Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said that European unity was the best response to Donald Trump.\n\nEchoing that sentiment, Mrs Merkel said that the EU must work together to tackle the common challenges of terrorism, external border controls and the digital single market.\n\nEurope's fate, she added, lay in its own hands.\n\nFor now she and her ministers are preparing to take a pragmatic approach. She would work with the new administration and see what agreements could be made, she said.\n\nOne MP told me that politicians were adjusting, albeit reluctantly and with a degree of bewilderment, to a very different kind of partnership.\n\nIt is, after all, almost impossible to think of an odder couple than Angela Merkel and Donald Trump.", "Dashcam footage has captured a Kansas State Trooper's near miss with an oncoming truck.\n\nIt shows the moment the trooper swerved to avoid the vehicle, which had lost control in icy conditions.", "Kristin Baybars has been making and selling toys for the past four decades from her self-named shop in Gospel Oak, London.\n\nMoney has never been her motive but with more people shopping online, times are getting harder - and a housing development next door is adding to her woes.\n\nVideo journalist Dougal Shaw went to visit her to find out what she makes of modern toys.\n\nThis video is part of a series from the BBC Business Unit called My Shop.

Against all the odds she survived, though she thought she would never have another relationship. But then, as she describes here, she found love in an unexpected place.\n\nBefore the attack I was a college student working full-time in the reception of a local hospital. My dream was to become a nurse.\n\nI was dating Robert Burton, who I had met in high school. We hung out all the time, texting and talking. He was very charming and funny and kind of like a gentle giant.\n\nI noticed his behaviour changed, though, when I started applying to universities. He became very jealous. He would belittle me and not want me to succeed. He would lie about things and if I confronted him he had an explosive temper.\n\nI tried to break up with him but he told me that, as his girlfriend, I should be helping him, not abandoning him. He said he would kill himself if I left him.\n\nMelissa says Robert was funny and kind when they first met\n\nIt escalated to physical abuse. One day in October 2011, I drove us home as he had been drinking. He said that I shut the door before he had finished speaking and that set him off. He started hitting and punching me. I was able to break free and run away to call the police, who arrived and arrested him. He was charged with domestic battery and sentenced to 10 hours in jail. I thought I was finally free of him.\n\nOver the next couple of months he left me alone. I learned through social media that he had another girlfriend, so I really thought he was over me.\n\nThen, on 24 January 2012, he called me at 2am. He had gone to court that morning for the battery charge and said he needed closure from our terrible relationship and just wanted a hug. If I saw him just one more time he said would leave me alone forever.\n\nI didn't listen to my intuition telling me it was wrong, and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. I took my pepper spray and phone, thinking I could protect myself if I needed to.\n\nAs soon as I walked out there he reached his arms out for a hug, but he had a switchblade in his hand. He flipped it open and he started stabbing me over and over again.\n\nI remember the pain of the first few but after that I went into fight-or-flight mode. I tried to fight back and bite his hand. I was punching and screaming and doing everything I could, but I kept falling to the ground because I was losing so much blood.\n\nA young boy and girl nearby ran over because they heard me screaming, and the girl called 911. After seeing them Robert went and got a bigger knife with a serrated blade from his truck and attacked me with that. He had every intention of killing me. He knew the police were going to come and he wanted to get it finished.\n\nHe left me lying in the road and I thought I was going to die. I just prayed to God to save me and give me a chance.\n\nI was drifting away when a police officer shone his light on me. I felt a rush of life come back to me and I was able to state my name and who had attacked me. My speech was very slurred because I had had a stroke from the loss of blood.\n\nMy last few memories were in the ambulance. It was very bright and blurry and people were yelling and trying to stabilise me. They put the ventilator in to help me breathe and I knew that was a really bad sign. I thought, \"OK, they think I'm about to die.\" They then said they needed to airlift me and they called for the helicopter.\n\nI later learned from the trauma surgeons that I died on the table several times and they had to resuscitate me over and over.\n\nMy wounds were severe. I had a broken skull and jaw. My head and nose were fractured. He had severed my facial nerve, so I had paralysis on the right side of my face. They gave me 12 units of blood and the body holds about seven on average. It was a miracle I survived.\n\nThat time in hospital seemed like one very long day, but I was actually in intensive care for several days. At one point I remember motioning for a pen from my family. I needed to know what had happened to my attacker. I couldn't use my right hand because it had been stabbed so many times, so I used my left to write: \"Dead, alive or jail?\"\n\nMy family told me I didn't have to worry, that Robert had been caught and he was not going to harm me now. I felt very relieved.\n\nHe had attempted to kill himself by taking sleeping pills and crashing his car into a wall but he failed. He woke up in hospital strapped to the bed with the police by his side.\n\nI faced a long road to recovery. Nineteen of the 32 stab wounds were to my head, neck and face so I didn't look like myself. I was missing teeth. My hair was shaved because they had to stitch up wounds on my head. Half of my face was paralysed.\n\nWhen I looked in the mirror for the first time afterwards I just sobbed. I was only 20 years old. It was devastating. However, my faith was strong and I knew I wasn't still here on Earth to be mad about what I looked like. I just felt blessed that I was alive.\n\nI had implants in my teeth and my scars slowly faded. I had nerve and muscle surgery in Boston, which helped regenerate my face and give me my smile back. I was keen to get back to school and work as soon as I could.\n\nI assumed I would be single for the rest of my life. I never thought anyone would want to date me because I was damaged and had all this baggage. But I thought I could still use my experiences to help others. I wanted to speak out to let people in abusive relationships know that they deserved to be loved and respected and valued.At one of my speaking events in October 2012 I was delighted to meet the emergency services team who saved my life. One of the firefighters, Cameron, invited my mom and me to go to dinner at the fire department the following week. I was really excited about it.\n\nAfterwards I couldn't stop thinking about Cameron. I knew that I had feelings for him but I was trying to ignore them. I wondered, \"Am I feeling this way because he was one of the firemen who helped me?\" But the more we talked the more we realised we had in common.\n\nHe gave me his number and said, \"You know we're here for you,\" but I thought maybe he was just being nice. Still, I knew I had to see him again so a week later I contacted him and said I had a thank you card for the team. He said I should pop over to the station. I gave them the card and thought I would then leave, but Cameron and I ended up talking for six hours.\n\nIt felt like we could talk forever and that's when it became clear there was something special here.\n\nWe had different dates, we had a barbecue - we love barbecue in southern Florida - and we went to a shooting range. Cameron showed me how to improve my shooting and I now have a concealed-carry permit. It makes me feel better, that I can protect myself.\n\nCameron was by my side in August 2013 when I went to court to face the man who tried to kill me. When it was my turn on the stand Robert was staring at me. He was trying to intimidate me by staring me down but I refused to look away. At the end of the trial when all the evidence was being shown his head went down to the table. He finally had to face what he did and he realised he had no more power.\n\nHe was given life without parole and I was so relieved and thankful. I walked out of there with my life back.\n\nCameron and I continued dating. I went to St Petersburg College but decided not to study nursing - I wanted to dedicate my life to speaking out against domestic violence, so I studied Management and Organisational Leadership in Business.\n\nA couple of years later I was invited to give the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game, in recognition of my work in schools talking about violent relationships.\n\nI was on the mound and there wasn't a baseball there so Cameron came out of the dugout to hand me one. Written on the ball were the words: \"Will you marry me?\"\n\nIt was the most surprising moment of my whole life. And then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.\n\nI couldn't speak for a moment as I couldn't find the words. It was just really incredible knowing that he put so much effort in and to making this surprise special for me. And I just I felt very blessed and over the moon. Of course I said yes.\n\nHe gave me a beautiful diamond ring that he had picked out and we're going to get married in a few weeks. All the people that saved me, from the first police officer on the scene to the trauma surgeon, are coming.Today I just feel very blessed to be here. I know that the attack was just one day in my life and it will never define me.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Tuesday marks the 100th anniversary of a remarkable success for British intelligence: but one that involved spying on the United States and then conspiring with its senior officials to manipulate public opinion in America.\n\nOn the morning of 17 January 1917, Nigel de Grey walked into his boss's office in Room 40 of the Admiralty, home of British code-breakers.\n\nIt was obvious to Reginald \"Blinker\" Hall that his subordinate was excited.\n\n\"Do you want to bring America into the war?\" de Grey asked.\n\nThe answer was obvious. Everyone knew that America entering World War One to fight the Germans would help break the stalemate.\n\n\"Yes, my boy. Why?\" Hall answered.\n\n\"I've got something here which - well, it's a rather astonishing message which might do the trick if we could use it,\" de Grey said.\n\nThe previous day, the German foreign minister, Arthur Zimmermann, had sent a message to the German ambassador to Washington.\n\nThe message used a code that had been largely cracked by British code-breakers, the forerunners of those who would later work at Bletchley Park.\n\nNigel de Grey came up with the plan to use the telegram to change the course of World War One\n\nZimmermann had sent instructions to approach the Mexican government with what seems an extraordinary deal: if it was to join any war against America, it would be rewarded with the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.\n\n\"This may be a very big thing, possibly the biggest thing in the war. For the present, not a soul outside this room is to be told anything at all,\" Hall said after reading it.\n\nPart of the problem was how the message had been obtained.\n\nGerman telegraph cables passing through the English Channel had been cut at the start of the War by a British ship.\n\nSo Germany often sent its messages in code via neutral countries.\n\nGermany had convinced President Wilson in the US that keeping channels of communication open would help end the War, and so the US agreed to pass on German diplomatic messages from Berlin to its embassy in Washington.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. How a decrypted German telegram pushed the United States into World War One and prompted a wave of hostility on the US-Mexico border\n\nThe message - which would become known as the Zimmermann Telegram - had been handed, in code, to the American Embassy in Berlin at 15:00 on Tuesday 16 January.\n\nThe American ambassador had queried the content of such a long message and been reassured it related to peace proposals.\n\nBy that evening, it was passing through another European country and then London before being relayed to the State Department in Washington.\n\nFrom there, it would eventually arrive at the German embassy on 19 January to be decoded and then recoded and sent on via a commercial Western Union telegraphic office to Mexico, arriving the same day.\n\nThanks to their interception capability process, Britain's code-breakers were reading the message two days before the intended recipients (although they initially could not read all of it).\n\nA coded message about attacking the US was actually passed along US diplomatic channels.\n\nAnd Britain was spying on the US and its diplomatic traffic (something it would continue to do for another quarter of a century).\n\nThe cable was intelligence gold-dust and could be used to persuade America to join the War.\n\nBut how could Britain use it - when to do so would reveal both that they were breaking German codes and that they had obtained the message by spying on the very country it was hoping to become its ally?\n\nHall had all the copies locked in his desk while he decided what to do and asked for the rest to be decoded.\n\nLondon was betting that Germany's use of unrestricted submarine warfare - attacking merchant shipping - would be enough to draw America into the War.\n\nAn exhibition at Bletchley Park tells the story of the Zimmermann Telegram\n\nWhen the signs were that an extra push might be needed, it was decided to deploy the Zimmermann Telegram.\n\nRoom 40 asked one of its contacts to get hold of a copy of anything sent to the German embassy in Mexico from the US. This provided another copy of the telegram.\n\nBritain could then plausibly claim this was how it had got hold of the message and get round the problem of admitting it was spying on its friends.\n\nBritain also had to convince the Americans that the message had not been concocted as part of a ruse to get them into the War.\n\nEventually, the US obtained its own copy from the Western Union telegraphic company, and De Grey then decoded it himself in front of a representative at the US embassy in London.\n\nThis meant technically all parties could claim that it had been decoded on US territory.\n\n\"Good Lord,\" President Wilson said when he was told of the details.\n\nThe telegram was then leaked to the American press and published to general amazement on 1 March 1917 (with credit attached to the American Secret Service rather than the British to avoid awkward questions of British manipulation).\n\nWhatever scepticism was left was dispelled when Zimmermann himself took the odd move of confirming he had sent it. A month later, America was in the War.\n\nPresident Woodrow Wilson took the United States into World War One in April 1917\n\nIt would be too much to claim the Zimmermann Telegram single-handedly brought America into the War.\n\nGermany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare can take more credit for that.\n\nBut the telegram was useful for convincing the American public that it should be sending its men over to Europe to fight.\n\nThe telegram had proved the perfect justification for a change of policy and to convince some of the sceptics.\n\nIt was, many believed, the single greatest intelligence triumph for Britain in World War One.\n\nIt was also an early sign of the potential impact of intercepting communications, a lesson which the few British and American officials in on the real story were determined to learn from as they set about building their capability.\n\nEarly in World War Two, before America had formally entered the War, it would send a team of its best code-breakers on a clandestine mission to Britain to establish a relationship with their counterparts.\n\nThe Road to Bletchley Park exhibition at the former wartime site features a copy of the Zimmermann Telegram and details of its role.\n\nToday, the two allies have GCHQ and the NSA - two vast intelligence agencies involved in interception and code-breaking.\n\nThey also have a pact which means that - on the whole - they are not supposed to spy on each other.\n\nThe BBC World Service Witness programme recently told the story of how the British managed to intercept the telegram, and heard from some of the code-breakers involved.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Some of the headlines from Theresa May's vision for future UK-EU relations in her speech given at London's Lancaster House.", "Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at White House press secretary Josh Earnest's last briefing with members of the press to lavish praise on his spokesman.\n\n\"He is a really, really good man,\" said the outgoing president of Mr Earnest, who first joined Mr Obama's campaign in Iowa back in 2007.", "Shelley Zalis says \"trying to be a man is a waste of a woman\"\n\n\"Embrace your inner girl\" is not a phrase you'll hear very often, particularly in the macho world of business where \"manning up\" is more de rigueur.\n\nYet if you attend any major business conference this year, then you're likely to come across \"The Girls' Lounge\".\n\nIt might sound like a name dreamt up by an unimaginative spa owner or an all-female pop-band, but in reality it's a professional networking space for women.\n\nOn the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos - a place where male attendees outnumber females five to one, the space is just being prepared.\n\nA peek through the windows show that it's all white sofas and cushions, some adorned with glitter pink writing. The decor is soft and unashamedly feminine.\n\nLounges at previous conferences have included beauty treatments, such as face masks and manicures.\n\nAside from the patronising use of the word \"girl\", surely the idea that women need a separate mingling space, and such a stereotypically feminine one to boot, is doing little to further the case for female equality?\n\nShelley Zalis - who started The Girls' Lounge five years ago - is unapologetic:\n\n\"This is their boys' club - for women to get to know other women.\n\n\"There are masculine and feminine styles of leadership and we encourage women to find and lead with their strengths. We need both [styles] or we're all the same,\" she says.\n\nMs Zalis resolutely refuses to apologise for using the word \"girl\", arguing the word \"woman\" is too associated with the traditional hierarchy where female leaders conform to male leadership styles.\n\nBeyond Ms Zalis' deliberately provocative and attention-grabbing approach, her point is that women need to take on leadership in whichever way they choose, not emulating the male, institutional model.\n\n\"We have to stop fixing the women. We have to fix our mindset and recalibrate our mindset on equality and understand men and women are all equal. Until society and corporations value the individual strengths of each person we won't progress,\" she says.\n\nAnd in The Girls' Lounge, underneath the seemingly fluffy interior, there's plenty of hard facts.\n\nIn it, for example, there are ten clocks from various countries. Based on a nine to five day, they point to the time a woman should leave work according to the wage gap in the country.\n\nAt the World Economic Forum in Davos, male attendees outnumber female by five to one\n\nThe US clock points to 3.20pm, highlighting the fact that women there earn only 79% of what men earn.\n\nTo make the same point, men in the Girls' Lounge are charged $1 for a bar of chocolate, while women pay 79 cents.\n\nWhile Ms Zalis' initial aim was simply to provide a space for women to feel less isolated at male dominated business events, the Girls' Lounge now hosts serious talks on addressing inequality and has attracted some heavyweight commercial partners including Unilever and Google.\n\nThe Girls' Lounge is part of The Female Quotient, the firm founded by Ms Zalis which aims to advance workplace equality.\n\nThe firm has conducted research for consumer goods giant Unilever showing the extent to which underlying bias is holding back progress on the issue.\n\nThe study, published on Tuesday, showed that not only do an overwhelming 77% of men believe that a man is the best choice to lead an important project, but also the majority (55%) of women.\n\nMore so, men and women overwhelmingly believe that men don't want women in top corporate positions, according to the research, which interviewed more than 9,000 men and women across eight markets.\n\nUnilever changed its adverts last year to make them less gender stereo-typed\n\nUnilever's chief marketing officer Keith Weed said the poll pinpointed how traditional beliefs and norms were still holding back women's progress.\n\n\"Men have intellectually bought into [the] whole area of gender inequality, but acting on it there's still a long way to go. We are holding stereotypes in our head that we fit people into,\" he said.\n\nMr Weed said addressing the issue was not just \"a moral issue but an economic issue\".\n\nThe firm, behind more than 400 brands from Ben & Jerry's ice-cream to Dove soap, last year pledged to remove sexist stereotypes from its own ads.\n\nMr Weed said while it was too early to measure the impact of this change, its previous research had shown that progressive ads were 12% more effective.\n\nErica Dhawan is optimistic about the future of gender equality\n\nYet, Erica Dhawan, a female chief executive of consultancy Cotential, perhaps offers some hope.\n\nIn her thirties, she says she identifies herself as part of several groups: a millennial, an Indian American, and has never thought there's anything that either women or men could do better.\n\n\"We can't solve age old problems with old solutions.

That is one-third of the STPs, although that might just be a coincidence.\n\nMr Corbyn's team has been unable to show Reality Check where he got the number that he used in Parliament.\n\nAmong the STPs with the most precise figures was Derbyshire, where 535 of 1,771 beds will be cut by 2020-21, a cut of 30%.\n\nWest, North and East Cumbria plans to reduce beds in cottage hospitals (smaller hospitals, often in rural areas) from 133 to 104, with beds at Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital going from 600 to 500.

They can reinvent the story of a place, really,\" said Professor Gibson, dressed in a purple Elvis costume at Sydney's Central Station.\n\n\"Although there are still jobs in agriculture, it is a fading industry, whereas the future is really about tourism, music, creativity and culture,\" he added.\n\nKandos, in the Mudgee winemaking district of New South Wales, hosts a Bob Marley festival, while since 2012 fans of ABBA have headed to the town of Trundle for its annual homage to Sweden's finest.\n\nElvis tribute singer John Collins says Parkes' Elvis festival is on many people's bucket list\n\nElsewhere the tasty Food (Food of Orange District) jamboree draws large crowds, while the Tamworth Country Music Festival is arguably one of Australia's premier music events.\n\nSo is Parkes worried it could lose its lustre because of the competition in other parts of New South Wales and beyond?\n\nKen Keith, who is his ninth year as mayor and probably the only public official in Australia who turns up for work in a blue jumpsuit, is not concerned.\n\n\"Why other people haven't been able to replicate it or steal the concept from us is just the friendly nature of the town, where people are made to feel welcome,\" he explained.\n\nThis week Parkes is turning on not only a warm reception, but one that is roasting hot, with temperatures expected to climb to the high 30s Celsius.\n\nSimone Collison (far r) and friends joined fellow fans for the Elvis express train from Sydney\n\nAlso celebrating a quarter of a century as an Elvis tribute singer is John Collins, who, as a marriage celebrant, officiates at Elvis-themed weddings all over Australia.\n\n\"The Parkes Elvis festival is something everyone has to put on their bucket list. You've got to go at least once. One of the entertainers last year nearly cried when he had to go home. He didn't want it to finish,\" he said.\n\nAs the Elvis Express prepared to roll out of Sydney - on what is quite likely to be Australia's most high-spirited rail journey - Simone Collison from Menangle had gathered with her friends for the trip.\n\nThey all wore matching black and white spotted outfits with pink tops and sunglasses. Asked why a singer who died so long ago still had so many devoted fans, she said simply: \"Everyone still loves him. That will never die.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Lord Snowdon was a talented film maker and photographer whose marriage to Princess Margaret fed the gossip columns for over a decade.\n\nHis career was punctuated by lurid tales of extra-marital affairs, alcohol and drugs, but throughout it all he maintained a close contact with the Royal Family.\n\nHis body of photographic work featured the cream of British society, although he was usually dismissive about his work.\n\nHe was most proud of the stunning aviary he helped design for London Zoo.\n\nHe was born Anthony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones on 7 March 1930, into a family of minor gentry.\n\nHis father, Ronald, was a barrister while his mother, society beauty Anne Messel, later became Countess of Rosse, following her divorce from his father.\n\nIn his teens, he contracted polio and had to lie flat on his back for a year. It left him with a permanent limp.\n\nBut visits by such luminaries as Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich, arranged by his uncle, the theatre designer Oliver Messel, helped alleviate the boredom.\n\nThe start of what was to prove a stormy marriage\n\nHe was educated at Eton, where his passion for photography began. He went on to Jesus College, Cambridge, and was cox of the victorious eight in the 1950 Boat Race.\n\nHe never completed his course on architecture, and at 21 took up photography as a career, setting up a studio of his own in London.\n\nIt was his flair for taking less formal photographs that earned him the commission, in 1956, for the 21st birthday pictures of the Duke of Kent.\n\nLater he was invited to Buckingham Palace to photograph the Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family, including Princess Margaret.\n\nUnlike some photographers, he did not set out to create a rapport with his subjects.\n\n\"I don't want people to feel at ease,\" he once said. \"You want a bit of an edge.\"\n\nHis engagement to Princess Margaret was announced in 1960.\n\nAt the time there had been no recent precedent for anyone so near to the throne marrying outside the ranks of royalty or the British peerage.\n\nThe wedding took place on 6 May 1960, and after a honeymoon tour of the Caribbean in the royal yacht Britannia, the young couple moved into Kensington Palace.\n\nEarly in 1961 Armstrong-Jones was raised to the peerage as Lord Snowdon, and he took his seat in the House of Lords a year later. A son, David, Viscount Linley, was born in 1961, and their daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, three years later.\n\nIn 1963 the Queen made him Constable of Caernarvon Castle, and as such he took a leading part in the arrangements for the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969.\n\nHe was scathing about the ceremonial surrounding the event, claiming that most of the procedures used were \"completely bogus\".\n\nPrincess Margaret and Lord Snowdon went to Jamaica together in 1962, when the princess represented the Queen at the independence celebrations, and they made an official visit to the United States in 1964.\n\nIn the early years of their marriage, he and Princess Margaret were treated almost as Hollywood stars. The press relished incidents in which the Snowdons donned leather jackets and raced motorbikes along London's North Circular Road.\n\nThey consorted with celebrities of the day, and provided a marked contrast to the more conservative Queen and Prince Philip.\n\nBut the marriage quickly experienced the sort of difficulties that were destined to plague royal relationships over the following 20 years.\n\nHe had a flair for informal photography\n\nSnowdon's womanising was part of the reason for the break-up. A natural charmer, he had a string of relationships throughout his life and seemed incapable of remaining faithful.\n\nOne close friend was quoted in a biography of the earl as saying: \"If it moves, he'll have it.\"\n\nMargaret's own predilection for late-night partying, and the desire of both of them to be the centre of attention, also fuelled the breakdown.\n\nBy then, Snowdon had embarked on a varied professional career - acting as adviser to the Council of Industrial Design, and working for various publications, including the Sunday Times.\n\nThe aviary he helped design for London Zoo opened in 1964. It was regarded as cutting-edge in its use of new materials, providing the maximum amount of space for birds to fly.\n\nHe helped to make several television documentaries. The first, Don't Count the Candles, from 1968, was about old age and won seven international awards.\n\nIn 1975 he directed two programmes in BBC television's Explorers series, and in 1981 he presented two programmes on photography, Snowdon on Camera, for which he was nominated for a Bafta Award.\n\nThe aviary at London zoo was regarded as a triumph of design\n\nIt was during a debate on the mobility of people with physical disabilities that he had made his maiden speech in the Lords in April 1974.\n\nIn March 1976, it was finally announced that he and Princess Margaret would live apart.\n\nWhen Margaret had a relationship with Roddy Llewellyn, Snowdon was able to play the part, though not very convincingly, of the cuckolded husband, and the divorce became final in 1978.\n\nSnowdon always refused to speak about the marriage but he regularly saw the children and continued to photograph the Royal Family.\n\nIn December 1978, he was married again, to Lucy Lindsay-Hogg, a researcher on a BBC television series on which he was working. They had a daughter, Frances, the following July.\n\nIn June 1980 Snowdon started an award scheme for disabled students. The money for it came from the reproduction fees he had received over 20 years from his royal photographs.\n\nThe following year the Snowdon Council was formed, of which he was president. It comprised 12 members co-ordinating a dozen different bodies concerned with helping disabled people.\n\nAlso in 1981 a compromise was reached in his long-running row with Lord Aberconway, president of the Royal Horticultural Society, who had said that disabled visitors to the Chelsea Flower Show were not encouraged.\n\nHis subjects were often the rich and famous\n\nIt was agreed that guide dogs would be admitted, and a special garden was created for those with disabilities.\n\nWhile married to Lucy Lindsay-Hogg, Snowdon had a long affair with journalist Ann Hills, who took her own life in 1996.\n\nTwo years later, at the age of 68, he fathered a son, Jasper, with 33-year-old Melanie Cable-Alexander, a journalist on Country Life.\n\nThis proved the final straw for Lucy, and the couple divorced.\n\nBy then Snowdon had lost his seat in the Lords, following Labour's clear-out of hereditary peers. Instead, he took a life peerage as Baron Armstrong-Jones to enable him to remain in the House.\n\nDespite an increasing disability as a result of his childhood polio, Lord Snowdon travelled widely, doing work for the theatre and fashion houses as well as portraits and travelogues.\n\nA friend once said of him, \"It's impossible to imagine a gentler, more cultured man.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Abdullah Cangil, who was forced to emigrate from southern Cyprus to the north, says he is happy to hand back his house\n\nAbdullah Cangil is a 66-year-old Turkish Cypriot, living in Morphou - a border town on the divided island of Cyprus.\n\nHis three-bedroom house is surrounded by orange and lemon trees. The chirping of birds can be heard all around the garden. He says he planted the trees here himself, as he reaches to one of them to grab a few mandarins to offer me.\n\nMr Cangil moved to this house in 1974, after Turkey invaded Cyprus in response to a coup aiming to unite the island with Greece. This was followed by a population exchange.\n\nAround that time, 165,000 Greek Cypriots were displaced, while about 40,000 Turkish Cypriots were uprooted in total in inter-communal violence in the 1960s and the population transfer in 1975.\n\nAbdullah Cangil was one of those who left his house behind. After 24 years in Paphos, a southern Cyprus town, he was forced to emigrate to the north.\n\n\"A Greek Cypriot family lives in our house in Paphos and we live in a Greek Cypriot family's house here,\" he says. \"We all see each other, we became very good friends in time.\"\n\nBut what if he needs to hand his current home to its previous owners?\n\n\"I never felt attached to this house. I always knew one day I would need to leave it behind. It is its real owners' right to live here,\" he replies.\n\n\"The future of my grandsons, that is more important than a house. Peace is more important. I don't want my children to live the wars, the troubles that we have gone through. It is much more important to have peace than to move from one house to another.\"\n\nGreek Cypriots from the town of Morphou stage a protest outside the presidential palace in Nicosia\n\nMorphou, or Guzelyurt as it is called by Turkish Cypriots, is one of the thorny issues at the peace talks under way in the Swiss town of Geneva.\n\nGreek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades has warned that there can be no deal without a full return of the town, while some on the Turkish Cypriot side say that is out of the question.\n\nAlthough the talks in Geneva are labelled as the most intense effort in more than a decade to reunite the divided island of Cyprus, there is slow progress and the hopes for a breakthrough are already dimming.\n\nBut the two sides - for the very first time in the long history of Cyprus negotiations - have presented their respective maps of the future internal boundaries of a federated Cyprus.\n\nThe details of the maps are yet unclear, but it is expected that the territory under Turkish Cypriot control could shrink from its current 37% to just under 30%.\n\nThe fate of Morphou remains to be seen too, as emotions still run high on both sides of the island over the matters of territorial exchange and compensation for lost property.\n\nBut that is not the only hurdle in these negotiations. The foreign ministers of Greece, Turkey and Britain, guarantor powers of Cyprus's independence, are scheduled in Geneva on Thursday to discuss the security concerns within a possible deal - another challenging topic.\n\nTurkey has about 35,000 troops in northern Cyprus. Greece and the Greek Cypriot government strongly contest their presence and demand all of them are pulled out - hardly a demand Turkey would be happy to meet.\n\nIn general, Turkish Cypriots, fearful of past experiences of being targeted by Greek Cypriot nationalists, also want Turkish guarantees to continue.\n\nThe wounds of the past are hard to heal in both communities and there is a mutual distrust of one another.\n\nBird droppings cover seats inside the old Nicosia airport, now located in the UN-controlled buffer zone that separates the north and south of Cyprus\n\nOne place that stands as a monument to that distrust and how to overcome it lies within the UN-controlled buffer zone that divides Cyprus along ethnic lies.\n\nThe Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) located here is a bi-communal body established in 1981 with the participation of the UN.\n\nIts aim is to recover, identify and return the remains of the people who went missing during the atrocities mainly taking place in 1963-64 and 1974.\n\nAccording to a list agreed by the leaders of Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities, 2,001 people have been identified as missing persons - though it is believed that the number could be much higher.\n\nAround 500 of them are Turkish Cypriots and the rest Greek Cypriots - 1:3 being the exact proportion of the respective communities to each other.\n\nThe first missing person was exhumed in 2007 and since then about 750 people have been identified, their remains returned to their families.\n\nOver a thousand sites have been dug until now, and excavations are still being carried out.\n\nThe remains of 25 people have been uncovered in the past few months alone\n\nThe Committee on Missing Persons aims to return the bones of the missing to their families\n\nRania Michail is in the team of anthropologists digging at a previously Orthodox cemetery in Morphou.\n\nSince they started searching this place six months ago, they have managed to excavate 25 missing people's remains, she tells me - 12 soldiers, 12 old women and 1 person's general body parts.\n\n\"Sometimes it gets difficult emotionally. Especially if we find the remains of a child,\" Rania says.\n\n\"The first time that I saw remains five years ago, it was the most shocking moment of my life. I was really upset. That night I could not sleep. But then I got used to it. I have excavated over 100 bodies - women, soldiers, kids - both in the north and in the south of the island.\"\n\nAt the CMP's headquarters in the UN-controlled buffer zone, the anthropologists study the remains carefully, trying to reconstruct them and to identify those killed.\n\nSkulls and bones are laid on top of tables along with whatever was found lying with the remains - a pair of socks, a piece of underwear, a lighter, or a picture of a loved one.\n\n\"What we do here is very important for achieving peace in Cyprus,\" says Uyum Vehit, an anthropologist.\n\n\"Almost every single family has missing persons. If they don't receive the remains, and if they don't have proper graves, they can't have a closure.\"\n\nKyriacos Solomi lost his younger brother, George, in the violence\n\nAt his home on the Greek side of the \"Green Line\" line in Nicosia, Kyriacos Solomi, 68, still waits for the remains of his younger brother, George, who was killed on the front line 42 years ago.\n\n\"He was a very peaceful man. He liked mixing with people, enjoying life, peaceful activities. He was a nice, healthy, good-looking young man, 24 years old,\" he says while trying to hold back the tears when he looks at his brother's picture in his hand.\n\n\"This is a very deep wound. It may close one day but a big scar will stay there forever.\"\n\nDespite having lost his brother, Mr Solomi still believes in peace - but he doubts whether it can ever be reached in Cyprus.\n\n\"There is no other way to survive on this island. We fight for peace. I know the clock cannot go back, the lives will not come back.\n\n\"But I don't think peace will come here. Maybe in the next generations, if they can change the textbooks that spread hate instead of love.\n\n\"Listen to the TV, listen to the church: they are spreading hate.

Here he fondly recalls what life was like on the road with the former England manager.\n\nGraham Taylor and I sat next to one another in commentary boxes here, there and everywhere.\n\nThe first time we were squeezed together in one was for a not-terribly-high-profile match on a Friday night at Brentford. I can still see him bounding up the steps at Griffin Park, wearing a black and white checked jacket, cheerily acknowledging people as he came.\n\nAnd I remember thinking afterwards that Graham Taylor was everything I hoped he would be. He was good fun, charming, engaging, and he had lots to say about the players, the match and all matters surrounding it. And, off air, he wanted to know all about me.\n\nWhen I got to know him better, he would always be great company post-match, often late into the evening. I have never actually met his wife, Rita, his children, or his grandchildren, but I feel as though I have because Graham would tell you exactly what was going on in their lives.\n\nHe loved all sports, particularly athletics and cricket - Graham actually followed England on tour to South Africa. And, believe it or not, he enjoyed the music of both Vera Lynn and Adele, whose albums he bought.\n\nAs a match summariser, I knew that if the game wasn't very good and nothing was happening, Graham was someone you could go off at tangents with, because he had such a wide field of interests. During one such commentary, I remember us discussing how he used to take an annual holiday in Caister-on-Sea, and the merits of that Norfolk seaside town.\n\nBut don't go thinking he was a pushover. There was a steely core to Graham Taylor that all winners have, and he always struck me as one of life's natural leaders - I'm convinced that was one of the secrets behind the many successes he had.\n\nOnce, when we had lost our ticket in an underground car park in Innsbruck, he very nearly persuaded me to tailgate a car through the barrier. He was extremely disappointed that I pulled up short of causing untold damage!\n• None Ian Botham: Graham Taylor told me to stick to cricket\n• None Archive: Graham Taylor on 'View from the Boundary'\n• None Taylor was 'a pal as well as a manager' - Dion Dublin\n\nWhen I turned up at the airport to fly to Euro 2008, Graham appeared with one foot in a plastic boot. He'd injured it somehow, but rather than withdraw from our broadcast team so close to the finals - which he had been advised to do - he travelled all around Austria and Switzerland in some discomfort but without a word of complaint.\n\nBeing under scrutiny as a football manager for most of his life, he could click a switch and go into serious mode at a moment's notice, and what he said carried a real authority.\n\nWe were both part of the commentary team in Montenegro for a European Championship qualifier when Wayne Rooney was sent off for kicking out at an opponent.\n\nThe next morning we were reporting on it into the Breakfast programme, and though Graham was bleary eyed when he arrived in the room, he sat down, clicked into action, and made perfect sense. I recall thinking that had he still been England manager, he would have answered the questions in exactly the same way.\n\nThe way things ended for him with England, and the criticism that came with that, clearly stayed with him. He would often reference it himself and was, sometimes I felt, almost too willing to talk about it.\n\nWe would always try to guide Graham away from large gatherings of England fans because of the greater possibility of someone saying something out of turn in those circumstances. On the occasions that did happen, Graham would go and talk to them, and they would inevitably be left feeling rather foolish. Later, though, there would often be a quiet word to you which revealed the hurt was still there.\n\nBut it says a great deal about the man that it is for his warm, generous, human qualities that I will remember him best.\n\nYes, Graham Taylor was everything I hoped he would be.", "Sheeran is due to release his third album, ÷, on 6 March\n\nEd Sheeran's new singles Shape of You and Castle On The Hill have entered the UK singles chart at number one and number two respectively.\n\nThe Official Charts Company says it is the first time in history an artist has taken the top two chart positions with brand new songs.\n\nThe singer said he was \"incredibly chuffed\" by the success.\n\n\"Both tracks mean a huge amount to me so it really is amazing to see them go to the top of the chart together.\"\n\nSheeran's comeback follows a \"gap year\" where he removed himself from social media, making space to write his third album, ÷ (Divide).\n\nFans were clearly hungry for new material, as the star set several streaming records over the course of the week.\n\nShape Of You's bouncy, uptempo pop was the bigger hit, notching up 13.4 million streams - smashing the record Drake set last summer, when One Dance was streamed 8.9 million in a single week.\n\nCastle On The Hill, built around a chiming, U2-style guitar riff, also beat Drake's tally, with 11.07 million streams.\n\nOn Spotify, Sheeran also broke a global streaming record held by One Direction, whose single Drag Me Down racked up 4.76m streams in one day in August 2015.\n\nShape Of You was streamed 6.13 million times when it was released last Friday, increasing to 7.24 million streams on Monday.\n\nThe remarkable performance of his singles ends Clean Bandit's nine-week run at number one.\n\nTheir single, Rockabye, drops to number four, while Rag 'N' Bone Man's Human is at three.\n\nThere are also new entries for Sean Paul and Dua Lipa's No Lie at 28 and Snakehips' Don't Leave, featuring Danish singer MØ, at 33.\n\nIn the album chart, Little Mix held on to the top spot for a fifth week with their album Glory Days.\n\nIt is now the most successful album by a girl band since the Spice Girls' Spice spent 15 weeks at number one in 1996.\n\nMeanwhile, David Bowie's Blackstar made a reappearance in the top 40, exactly a year after his death, while his Legacy compilation jumped from 18 to number five.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Here's our look at where the glass is half full and where half empty as we head into 2017.\n\nIt's not likely to be a dry January if you're running one of the UK's supermarkets. They have good news to toast this week.\n\nTesco and Morrisons, which have both had a difficult few years, have reported stronger sales. Tesco said fresh food had been \"particularly popular, outperforming the market\", adding that there had been a 24% increase in party food sales over Christmas, while Morrisons reported its strongest Christmas sales for seven years.\n\nEven Sainsbury's, which saw a meagre 0.1% overall rise in sales, managed to beat analyst expectations of a 0.8% fall.\n\nDiscounters Lidl and Aldi don't report their figures in quite the same way - they do not give like-for-like sales, which strip out the effect of new store openings and are therefore a better comparison - but both reported double-digit increases in Christmas sales, reflecting brisk business.\n\nIt looks like we collectively loosened our belts at just the right time for the big food retailers. \"I guess the biggest impression so far is that food retailers did better than non-food in December,\" says independent retail analyst Nick Bubb.\n\nAccording to Kantar Worldpanel we spent almost half a billion pounds more in the final 12 weeks of 2016 compared with the year before (so no wonder we're still ploughing through the chocolate biscuits and checking out stilton soup recipes).\n\nBut putting it into context, a lot of the good results now are set against a backdrop of pretty weak performances the previous year.\n\nIf you look at the grocery sector in 2015, Tesco and Morrisons were both implementing turnaround plans, while Sainsbury's and Asda also faced sales challenges.\n\n\"Overall, food had an ok end of the year and traded ok over the course of the year but that was against very low comparitors,\" says Paul Martin, UK head of retail at KPMG.\n\nIt wasn't just the food stores that have given the market cause for cheer.\n\nHigh Street stalwart Marks and Spencer finally shrugged off a decline in clothing sales\n\nEarly in the month Next had everyone spooked as it reported a drop in sales in the run-up to Christmas, but plenty of other clothing retailers have reported strong results.\n\nM&S surprised the market with sales in its clothing and homeware division up 2.3% - well above expectations for about 0.5% - while John Lewis, Debenhams, Ted Baker and online retailers Boohoo.com and Asos also reported sales growth.\n\nStrong festive periods were also seen at Primark, JD Sports and Superdry owner Supergroup, which saw like-for-like sales up 15% over the Christmas period.\n\nNext said it was preparing for \"tougher times\" in the year ahead\n\n\"The biggest loser is obviously Next so far. They've had a bit of a shocker,\" says Patrick O'Brien from Verdict Retail. Next saw sales of full-price items fall 0.4% and warned of a \"challenging\" 2017.\n\n\"Next [used to be] way ahead of the others with its online operation. But competitors have now caught up with that in terms of online and collection, with really high growth in online specialists like Boohoo,\" he says.\n\nBut apart from that the really surprising thing is how few bad results there have been. Partly that is because they started from a low base after the poor sales of 2015, and partly because British consumers simply held their nerve.\n\n\"Consumers have understood that prices are going up and it's been a good time to buy,\" says Mr O'Brien.\n\nPaul Martin, head of UK retail at KPMG, adds: \"The British defied the mood music out there and wanted to go out and treat themselves and celebrate Christmas. That's the most surprising thing in a world where negative news is easier to come by than positive.\"\n\nJohn Lewis has warned of a \"challenging\" outlook and said that its staff bonus will be \"significantly lower\" this year\n\nBut if 2016 ended on a positive note, Paul Martin says retail is moving into a \"perfect storm\" in 2017.\n\nHe warns that around April to July the hedging positions retailers took against currency fluctuations will begin to run out and the full force of the pound's devaluation since the Brexit vote will start to be felt through higher prices for imported goods.\n\nMultinationals will flex their muscles a little more over pricing imported goods for the UK market. And costs will be rising as business rates are revalued and the minimum wage rises.\n\nInevitably, he says, retailers will have to look at what kind of price rises their customers can bear. \"We think it will be 5% to 8%. But that can vary substantially across sectors - you will find some cases where it will be 50%,\" he warns.\n\nIn addition to Next, other retailers including John Lewis and Sainsbury's have warned about the uncertain impact of a weaker pound.\n\nWhile others have warned of price hikes, Ted Baker has said it will not raise prices this year\n\nThe boss of fashion chain Ted Baker has vowed, however, that \"there won't be any price increases this year\".\n\nChief executive Ray Kelvin told the Press Association: \"We were hedged for two years and we have one year left on that. We're a public company, we don't gamble with things like this, plus we also have a big dollar income.\"\n\nThe consensus though, is that consumer spending will be squeezed this year, and Rachel Lund, head of retail insight and analytics at the British Retail Consortium, says that will make it harder for retailers to generate growth.\n\nShe also points to the uncertainty around what trading relationship the UK will have with the rest of the world once it leaves the EU.\n\n\"An announcement about that that doesn't seem favourable could have an impact on confidence,\" she says. But she adds that the mood among retailers is \"not one of doom and gloom, it's caution\".", "She worried there was something wrong with her four years ago, because she had bleeding and abdominal pains, but her family say she was told she was too young to be tested.\n\nJoanna Gosling spoke to Amber's brother Josh and sister Cameron on the Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\nThe Ashburn Medical Centre in Sunderland said they were unable to comment on individual cases, but were deeply saddened to hear of Amber's death.\n\nThe Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.", "How do you build in the most isolated place on Earth?

And while a Chinese company is building it, it's not in China, and almost no-one will ever see it.\n\nAfter the original burned down in 2012, the Brazilian navy launched an architectural competition for a replacement design - won by a local firm - and then awarded the building tender to a Chinese defence and engineering contractor, CEIEC. It's due to be completed in 2018.\n\nThe upper block will contain cabins, dining and living space; the lower block will house laboratories and operational areas\n\nLocated on a small island just off the coast of Antarctica, it lies almost 1,000km (600 miles) south of the tip of South America. No scheduled air routes come close and it's way off any shipping lanes.\n\nAnd even if you could reach it yourself, like all Antarctic research stations Comandante Ferraz will be closed to the public. Virtually nobody other than the crews posted there will ever see it in the flesh. So why, you may ask, spend so much on architectural style? Wouldn't a dull but functional building do just as well?\n\nBrazil is not alone in paying for eye-catching design, though.\n\nIn 2013, India unveiled its Bharati station, with a similar modernist design.\n\nDesigned by bof arkitekten, Bharati overlooks the sea and is used to study polar marine life\n\nIt was made from 134 prefabricated shipping containers, for ease of transport and construction, but you would never guess it from the outside.\n\nAnd the following year, South Korea opened its Jang Bogo station - a grand, triple-winged module lifted on steel-reinforced blocks, capable of supporting a crew of 60.\n\nJang Bogo's aerodynamic triple-arm design is said to provide resistance to the elements\n\nWhat is the explanation for this architectural flamboyance?\n\n\"Antarctic stations have become the equivalent of embassies on the ice,\" says Prof Anne-Marie Brady, editor-in-chief of the Polar Journal and author of China as a Polar Great Power.\n\n\"They are showcases for a nation's interests in Antarctica - status symbols.\"\n\nThose interests could be purely scientific. But a moratorium on mineral prospecting becomes easier to review in just over 40 years' time, and every Antarctic player also wants to be ready to take advantage, should anything change.\n\nPlanting a dramatic building on the ice has become the modern equivalent of explorers of old planting a flag.\n\nIt wasn't always like this.\n\nIn March 1903, the 33 men of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition landed on the outlying South Orkney Islands and built a dry-stone shack.\n\nExpedition leader William Bruce grandly named it Omond House, after the Edinburgh meteorologist, Robert Traill Omond. It was Antarctica's first permanent building, and is maintained today by the Argentine government as part of its Orcadas base.\n\nFor years afterwards, throughout the heroic age of polar exploration headed by Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton and Mawson, nothing much fancier than wooden huts went up on the white continent.\n\nUS Secretary of State John Kerry visited Shackleton's hut in November\n\nThen came a - relative - building boom, spurred by the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957-58, a global project for co-operation in science. The 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which resulted from the IGY, suspended all territorial claims, but that led many countries to set about consolidating their presence in other ways, such as construction.\n\nThe treaty's clause giving countries conducting \"substantial research activity\" in Antarctica a vote in meetings to determine the continent's future was another incentive to maintain a physical presence.\n\nThe US's sprawling McMurdo research station dates from this period. Powered from 1962 to 1972 by a nuclear reactor, it is the biggest settlement on the continent, housing a summer population of about 1,200.\n\nThe McMurdo station has a harbour, landing strips on sea ice and shelf ice, and a helicopter pad\n\nThe McMurdo coffee house serves hot drinks to workers and is attached to a small cinema - the chapel of the snows, a non-denominational Christian church, is nearby\n\nFor years, though, what with the huge technical and logistical difficulties in building anything in Antarctica, architectural glamour stayed off the list of priorities.\n\nThe UK's Halley station was just \"a few wooden huts inside giant steel tubes\" when meteorologist Peter Gibbs arrived in 1980. It lay buried beneath 15m (50ft) of snow.\n\n\"It was like living in a submarine, clambering up and down ladders to get in and out,\" Gibbs remembers.\n\nBuilt in 1973, Halley III was abandoned in 1983 because of access and ventilation problems\n\nAntarctica as a whole has so little precipitation it is classified as a desert, but snow does fall near the coasts, and in the interior low temperatures mean fallen snow accumulates faster than it can melt. Polar winds blow this snow around the continent, so that any object standing proud of the flat surface quickly gains a downwind \"tail\" of blown snow. Snow accumulation can swamp and crush buildings with ease.\n\nThe first Halley station, built in 1956, was abandoned 12 years later, when it too had become \"like a submarine\", as Gibbs puts it.\n\nThe version he worked in, Halley III, was built in 1973 and lasted only 10 years. Until Halley VI arrived in 2013, all were defeated by snow accumulation, and by the moving ice shelf on which they stood. At Halley's location the ice slides around 1.5m (5ft) a day towards the sea, but to maintain accuracy the station's scientific measurements have to be made at the same place year by year.\n\nDesigned by Hugh Broughton Architects and Aecom, Halley VI's red module contains the communal areas\n\nHalley VI, however, is Antarctica's first relocatable research station. Its eight connected pods - like giant, colourful train carriages, which can be isolated to limit the spread of fire - sit on hydraulic legs mounted on huge, 8m-long skis. This means that the pods can be detached from each other, dragged by bulldozers to a new location, and the whole station reassembled.\n\nThat design is being put to good use, as Halley is currently being moved to avoid a chasm that is opening up in the ice nearby.\n\nAnd Halley VI is both glamorous and comfortable.\n\nUnlike earlier Halley stations, each bedroom now has a window to the outside\n\nIts bijou bedrooms feel like a classy budget hotel. Interiors are fitted in vivid reds, blues and greens to compensate for the lack of colour outside. Halley's pool table and sofas sit beneath the only double-height internal space in Antarctica, stylishly lit - outside the months of winter darkness, anyway - by tall, semi-opaque windows. Beside the drinks bar climbs a spiral staircase, clad in aromatic Lebanese cedar veneer, chosen to stimulate an often-overlooked sense in the almost completely smell-free Antarctic environment.\n\n\"All the newest bases look good as well as do the science - it's a reflection of the priorities of our era,\" says Anne-Marie Brady.\n\nSouth Africa was one of the first countries to solve the problem of snow accumulation with its SANAE IV base, which opened in 1997. It was designed with stilt-like legs, which let snow blow under the building.\n\nGermany applied the same concept to its Neumayer III base, which opened in 2009, with an extra refinement. Sixteen hydraulic pillars allow the entire two-storey structure to be raised every year by around a metre. The foot of each pillar is then lifted and replaced on a new firm base of packed snow.\n\nNeumayer III always stands 6m above the ice - up to 50 people live there during the summer and nine in the winter\n\nLike the UK's Halley base, Concordia, an Italian and French research facility is used by the European Space Agency to study the physical and psychological effects of isolation - the nearest people are stationed 600 km (370 miles) away\n\nAnother element of Antarctic architecture that has become critical is energy efficiency. Most stations run on polar diesel, which is expensive, polluting and difficult to transport. Belgium's Princess Elisabeth station, an aerodynamic pod raised on steel legs, is the first with zero emissions.\n\nSince its inauguration in 2009 it has run entirely on solar and wind energy, and - even here - has no heating. The station's layered design means interior temperatures are maintained from waste heat generated by electrical systems and human activity, and dense wall insulation reduces heat loss to almost zero.\n\nThe Princess Elisabeth station has nine wind turbines\n\nPhotovoltaic solar panels also provide electricity, while thermal solar panels melt snow and heat water for bathrooms and kitchens\n\nIf the Princess Elisabeth station looks like something out of a Bond movie, China's latest Antarctic station Taishan - its fourth - has been likened to a flying saucer. It was rush-built in 45 days in 2013-14, and is intended to last only a few years.\n\nA model of the Taishan research centre - China's fourth in Antarctica\n\n\"China will probably start building a fifth station this year,\" says Anne-Marie Brady.\n\nLike all the rest, few people will ever see it.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "How did a man who took office espousing a new era of engagement with the world end up a spectator to this century's greatest humanitarian catastrophe?\n\nBarack Obama was not against using force to protect civilians. Yet he resisted, to the end, a military intervention to stem Syria's six-year civil war, even as it killed or displaced half the country's population, brutally documented in real time on social media.\n\nPart of the answer to this vexing question has been clear from the beginning. President Obama was elected to end America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by a people tired of paying the cost in blood and treasure. He was extremely reluctant to get sucked into another messy Middle East conflict.\n\nBut when the siege and bombardment of cities like Aleppo placed the violence on the genocidal scale of atrocities set by Rwanda and Srebrenica, inaction by the US and its allies mocked the international community's vows of \"never again\".\n\nDespite the pressing moral imperative, Obama remained convinced a military intervention would be a costly failure.\n\nHe believed there was no way the US could help win the war and keep the peace without a commitment of tens of thousands of troops. The battlefield was too complex: fragmented into dozens of armed groups and supported by competing regional and international powers.\n\nA boy pushes a wheelchair along a damaged street in the east Aleppo neighborhood of al-Mashatiyeh, Syria\n\n\"It was going to be impossible to do this on the cheap,\" he said in his final press conference of 2016.\n\nBut that was not the conclusion of some senior military and cabinet officials, nor did they even propose a mass ground deployment, according to former defence secretary Chuck Hagel.\n\nThey argued that a more limited engagement could have effectively tilted the balance of power against President Bashar al-Assad. Among the options: arming the rebels and setting up a safe zone from where they could operate early in the conflict, or military strikes on the Syrian air force to push Assad to the negotiating table.\n\nInstead, the Obama administration focused on providing humanitarian aid, and on promoting a ceasefire and political negotiations aimed at Assad's departure.\n\n\"There is no military solution\" became the mantra in briefing rooms at the White House and state department, but spokespeople were unable to explain how a political solution was possible without military leverage.\n\n\"If there is to be any hope of a political settlement, a certain military and security context is required,\" former CIA Director David Petraeus told a Senate committee last year. \"We and our partners need to facilitate it, and…have not done so.\"\n\nObama's caution was reinforced by lack of support for military intervention from key allies such as the UK and Germany. That influenced his decision to back away from his famous \"red line\" threat of force in response to Assad's use of chemical weapons.\n\nIt was also part of a larger pessimism about what the US could achieve in the Middle East, sealed by a Nato intervention in Libya that was carefully planned but still left the country in a mess.\n\n\"The liberal interventionists seem to have forgotten that it is no longer the 1990s,\" wrote two of Obama's former national security officials, Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevenson, in October last year. \"Disastrous forays in Iraq and Libya have undermined any American willingness to put values before interests.\"\n\nIndeed, to fully understand President Obama's reticence, it is important to also understand that despite his liberal instincts and his soaring rhetoric about a more peaceful global order, he was a foreign policy realist with a keen sense of the limits to American power.\n\nAlthough he campaigned to restore US moral authority after the disaster of the Iraq War, he rejected what he saw as the moralising interventionism of the president he replaced, George W Bush.\n\nInstead, his emphasis was on measured diplomacy and progressive multilateralism.\n\nThat included a willingness to engage with repressive regimes, rather than consign them to an \"Axis of Evil\" - giving them \"the choice of an open door\", he told the Nobel Peace Committee when accepting its prize at the end of his first year in office.\n\nAbove all, he was not willing to prevent humanitarian tragedies by expending American lives and military power unless he saw a direct security threat to the United States.\n\nThe agreement on Iran's nuclear deal is an example of this doctrine at its most effective.\n\nObama ably used diplomacy to force an issue around which there was a high degree of international consensus. He marshalled broad support for crippling sanctions, and then stretched out his hand to America's most enduring Middle East foe and negotiated an achievable deal - one that limited a threat rather than transformed a relationship.\n\nCuba also walked through that \"open door\", propelled by an economic crisis at home and drawn by a less hostile political climate in America, as did the junta in Myanmar.\n\nDamascus did not. And Obama decided against trying to push it through.\n\nUS administrations have tended to bridge the gap between values and interests when the moral choice is also strategic. But Obama calculated early on that the Syrian civil war did not directly endanger America's national security.\n\nInstead he focused US military might against the so-called Islamic State (IS), which he did eventually see as a threat to the homeland.\n\nAgain, he was able to organise an international coalition that has had considerable success in achieving a limited goal.\n\nRebel fighters stand with their weapons on a military vehicle as they head towards the northern Syrian town of al-Bab\n\nDividing his Syria policy in two, however, meant inevitable contradictions. The White House held that the only way to stop the spread of IS was to end the rule and brutality of the Assad regime. But America's absence from the civil conflict served to strengthen the Syrian president.\n\nObama did grudgingly approve some covert military aid to moderate Syrian rebels to diffuse the power of Islamist fighters. But it wasn't enough to shape them into a force that could defeat Assad.\n\nSo the vacuum was filled by the better-supplied Islamist groups, feeding into Assad's narrative that the world had to choose between him or terrorists.\n\nThe presence of Islamist rebels, along with the momentum of the anti-IS campaign, also began to colour views of the regime within the administration, according to a US official who worked closely with these issues.\n\n\"Everything was done through a counterterrorism lens,\" he says. \"This is a bunch of people who wanted Assad to stay because they were terrified of political Islamists taking over.\"\n\nObama argued that the regime's supporters, Russia and Iran, had more at stake in Syria than the US and would be prepared to fight harder to defend it. So any American intervention would only escalate the conflict. It's the same calculation he made in his approach to Ukraine.\n\nRussia did enter the war to reverse rebel gains in 2015, turning the tide. Its anti-aircraft weapons closed the door on even the remote chance of a US intervention. Its air force solidified Assad's grip on Syria's cities, culminating in the military victory over Aleppo and giving Moscow new leverage in the Middle East while sidelining the US.\n\nMany in the American foreign policy establishment believe Obama erred in defining US interests too narrowly in Syria.\n\n\"Syria exploded in strategic ways,\" says Vali Nasr, who's written a book arguing that the president's policies have diminished America's leadership role in the world.\n\n\"It empowered Russia and Iran, produced ISIS, strengthened al-Qaeda and created the refugee crisis which became a strategic threat to Europe.\"\n\nObama's critics have also faulted him for a detached, analytical leadership style they say is unsuited to geopolitical jousting.\n\n\"He wasn't good at brinkmanship, it wasn't his inclination,\" says Ian Bremmer, president of the political risk firm Eurasia Group.\n\nSecretary of State John Kerry talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in 2013\n\n\"I've always thought [George W] Bush was a leader who didn't like to think, and Obama a thinker who didn't like to lead.\"\n\nObama has taken the lead on combating what he sees as one of the biggest threats, climate change. And he hasn't hesitated from unilaterally ordering force when he felt America's security was at stake, as shown by his prolific use of drones against terrorist suspects.\n\nBut in Syria his administration left a perception of American weakness.\n\nStepping back from his red line on chemical weapons damaged US credibility, shaking the confidence of allies and, some argue, emboldening its adversaries.\n\n\"Some in the administration thought that the longer we continued to engage the Russians in a facade of ceasefire and political negotiations the more we were providing political cover to the regime and Russia and Iran as they continued to pursue a military victory,\" said the US official.\n\n\"It's hard to understand why the state department is going along with it,\" a European diplomat told me as the talks became about managing that victory. \"It's supporting the Russian narrative.\"\n\nAlthough Obama says he came to understand that very little is accomplished in international affairs without US leadership, he doesn't talk about it as a strategic asset, says Nasr.\n\nThat sets him apart from his predecessors who \"believe US leadership is important for the world and important for America's hardnosed interests. Obama believes we can selectively lead where we have clear definable interests… but American leadership as a free-floating independent idea doesn't have value to him\".\n\nDespite the personality chasm between the cerebral lawyer exiting the White House and the reality TV star entering it, Barack Obama and Donald Trump are on the same page when it comes to non-interventionism.\n\nIn that sense, Trump's \"America First\" foreign policy is expected to be an extension of President Obama's.\n\nBut it would be a stripped-down version without Obama's attachment to international law and institutions or his moral commitment to universal rights, argues Max Boot, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.\n\nAnd although neither would seek foreign quarrels, Trump would be more disposed to \"clobber anyone who messes with\" the United States.\n\nWould that make major powers such as China and Russia less likely to mess with America?\n\nBoot suggests Trump's \"menacing unpredictability\" could be more effective than Obama's reasonable predictability in confrontations with Beijing. The President-elect's call with the Taiwanese president shows a penchant for brinkmanship that has certainly put China on alert.\n\nAgainst these uncertain advantages, however, stand Trump's inexperience, his intemperate nature, and his hostility to some of the building blocks of US power, such as free trade in Asia.\n\nCrucially, his uncritical support for Moscow, along with allegations that it has compromising information about him, have put America's Russia policy into uncharted territory.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Are Trump's nominees on the same page on Russia as their boss?\n\nSome of the President-elect's key cabinet officials can be expected to try and temper his extreme impulses and outlier positions, while taking a more muscular approach than Obama.\n\nIn confirmation hearings, Trump's choices for secretary of state and defence advocated a conventional hard power policy, that included checking Russian moves on the geopolitical chess board.\n\nBut the nominee for top diplomat, Rex Tillerson, echoed Trump's hard line on China by proposing an unusually aggressive stance against Beijing, raising eyebrows and concerns amongst many lawmakers and diplomats.\n\nHistory could very well judge Obama positively on Iran, Cuba and climate change. But the most important test of his foreign policy philosophy will be Syria, because it has been the crucible for the kind of realism he believes in.\n\nHe argues that he's saved the US from getting trapped in another disastrous Middle East war that would sap America's power. His critics charge he has diminished US power in a crucial region, and weakened American global leadership in the process.\n\nThe factor that shapes his legacy will be the same one that tests Trump: the extent to which either sustain, or reduce America's role in the world.\n• None What President Obama said in his goodbye speech", "A California shoe company has recalled a boot after a customer discovered the sole left tiny swastika prints behind.\n\nThe boot went viral after a Reddit user posted a picture showing the shoe's tread and its swastika imprints.\n\nConal International Trading Co, the City of Industry company that manufactures the boot, has since issued a public apology and pulled the shoe.\n\nThe company said it was \"no way intentional\" and an \"obvious mistake\" made by manufacturers in China.\n\n\"We will not be selling any of our boots with the misprint to anyone,\" the company said in a statement.\n\n\"We would never create a design to promote hate.

The BBC's Sameer Hashmi profiles the new chief.\n\nChandra - as Mr Chandrasekaran is popularly called - is one of the best known faces of the Tata Group. The 53-year-old has been the chief executive of the high profile global IT service provider, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), since 2009.\n\nBut his journey with the Tata group began three decades ago. He joined the company in 1987 after obtaining a Master's degree in computer applications from the National Institute of Technology in Trichy in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.\n\nInterestingly, Mr Chandrasekaran, who will become the seventh chairman of the Tata group - is the first person outside India's affluent Parsi community to be appointed to the post. The $100bn (£80bn) enterprise is controlled by a Parsi family and for many observers this decision marks a huge shift.\n\nApart from being an accomplished business leader, Mr Chandrasekaran is also known for being an avid runner. He has participated in marathons across the globe including in cities like Boston, Berlin, New York and Chicago, as well as back home in Mumbai.\n\n\"I love running.

Bean is known for its heavy boots (other boot makers are available)\n\nIn itself, it was nothing out of the ordinary: a morning tweet by Donald Trump thanking a supporter.\n\nThe subject of his thanks was one Linda Bean, who was praised for her \"great support and courage\" in the tweet on Thursday. But his post, like many before it, had wider repercussions.\n\nLinda Bean is an heiress of the Maine-based catalogue business L.L. Bean - a company Mr Trump then encouraged his 19.7m Twitter followers to support.\n\nThe tweet poses all sorts of questions about whether it is correct for the most powerful man in the Western world to endorse certain brands over others.\n\nBut what is the broader effect of a brand being associated with Mr Trump - a man who, despite his election win, will enter the White House next Friday less popular than the man who leaves (at least according to one poll this week)?\n\nLinda Bean was found by the Associated Press to have made a large donation to a pro-Trump PAC (political action committee), named Make Maine Great Again.\n\nAs a result, she and L.L.

Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20.\"\n\nThe F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons programme, costing about $400bn (£328bn), so it's no small fry.\n\nThe lobster restaurant in this particular relationship is Lockheed Martin's rival, Boeing.\n\nAfter Mr Trump tweeted that he had asked Boeing to look into producing a cheaper alternative to the F-35, that company's shares jumped.\n\nNew Balance trainers being set alight (other trainers and fire-starting materials are available)\n\nDays after the election, the footwear company's vice-president appeared to praise Mr Trump's trade plans in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.\n\nMatt LeBretton said Barack Obama had \"turned a deaf ear\" to US business. \"Frankly, with President-elect Trump, we feel things are going to move in the right direction,\" he said.\n\nThe company put out a statement saying it supported the trade positions of Democrat candidates too, but the damage was done - literally, in some cases, as New Balance shoe owners set fire to their footwear.\n\nMr Trump's son visited Yuengling's brewery in October (other beers and Trump children are available)\n\nBack in the weeks before the election, the owner of the oldest brewery in the US (in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, no less) expressed his support for the Republican candidate, and his frustration at what he saw as high tax rates.\n\nThe outrage followed a similar path to that of New Balance, minus the fire-starting - online anger, the promise of a boycott of Yuengling beer, and one-star reviews on its Facebook page.\n\nBut it is not clear now just how seriously the calls for a boycott affected Yuengling. Their Facebook page, for example, is now awash with support.\n\nAnd there's only one fact that matters - in Pennsylvania, the state where Yuengling is the most popular beer, Mr Trump ended up winning 48.2% of the vote, with Hillary Clinton on 47.5%.\n\nThat's a result that helped push him towards the White House, and he'll take charge next week. Although, as a teetotaller, he won't be celebrating with a Yuengling beer.", "The emotional scene in John's Gospel in which Jesus calls to the grieving Mary Magdalene by name and she tries to touch him has inspired many artists. This is Titian's interpretation.\n\nThe gospels depict Mary Magdalene as one of Jesus' closest companions. Her emotional encounter with the risen Jesus and her supposed sinful past have fascinated Christians for centuries.\n\nThe latest of many films about her is released shortly. Its heroine, played by Rooney Mara, is billed as a young woman who joins \"a radical new social movement\" and \"must confront the reality of Jesus' destiny and her own place within it\".\n\nThere was amusement when cast members were pictured in ancient garb smoking on set.\n\nMeanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church has enhanced the saint's status. Last year her Saint's Day (22 July) was promoted to a Feast, equal to those of most of the male Disciples.\n\nExplaining the decision, Archbishop Arthur Roche pointed out that she had long been known as \"apostle to the apostles, as she announces to the apostles what they in turn will announce to all the world.\"\n\nA bizarre tradition in depictions of Mary Magdalene shows her naked, but clothed with her long red hair. Terracotta by Andrea Della Robbia of about 1590\n\nThis refers to John 20:17, in which Jesus sends her to the disciples to tell them he would ascend to God - \"apostolos\" in Greek means \"one who is sent\".\n\nThe Vatican press office said that 22 July would be \"a feast, like that of the other apostles.\" A special prayer for use at Mass on that day says Jesus honoured her with the task of an apostle (apostolatus officio),\n\nThis has coincided with what some believe are signs of a change in Rome's attitude on the possibility of women priests.\n\nThe announcement on Mary Magdalene, and the setting up of a commission to discuss the ordination of women as deacons - not priests, but able to preside at weddings, christenings and funerals is an indication to some of change.\n\nTina Beattie, Professor of Catholic Studies at the University of Roehampton, says: \"I accept that it has to be slow, it has to be sensitively done... But my own feeling is that something is happening\".\n\nWhat was said about the feast day was encouraging, says Pippa Bonner of the campaign group Catholic Women's Ordination. \"As soon as we spotted that we shared that news around - I think that's a very, very positive step.\"\n\nPope Francis met Sweden's female archbishop, Antje Jackelen. But on his journey home he said Catholic policy forbidding women priests had not changed.\n\nIn 1994 Pope John Paul II declared \"that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.\" Jesus had \"called only men as his Apostles\", The constant practice of the Church, he stressed, \"has imitated Christ in choosing only men.\"\n\nIn November, while returning from a visit to Sweden where he worshipped with the country's female Lutheran archbishop, Antje Jackelen, Pope Francis was asked if his Church still ruled out women priests.\n\n\"Saint Pope John Paul II had the last clear word on this and it stands,\" he said.\n\nAsked again if the ban was permanent, he responded: \"If we read carefully the declaration by St. John Paul II, it is going in that direction.\"\n\nProf Beattie comments: \"Whenever he's asked to give a reason he always references John Paul II... I'm not aware of him saying that under his own Papal authority.\"\n\nPaloma Baeza played Mary Magdalene in The Passion, shown on BBC1 in 2008.\n\nThe idea that statements about Mary Magdalene and her \"apostleship\" contradict the rulings of John Paul II is discounted by many Catholic commentators.\n\n\"Many Catholics from the Anglican tradition will rejoice at her commemoration being raised to the dignity of a Feast, while thinking that the idea that this has any relevance to the closed question of women's ordination is entirely fanciful,\" says Fr Simon Chinery, spokesman for the Ordinariate set up by Pope Benedict as a home within the Catholic Church for Anglicans opposed to women bishops.\n\nThe idea of Mary Magdalene as a great sinner led to celebration of her as a great penitent, as in this haggard sculpture by Donatello (about 1455).\n\nAusten Ivereigh, co-founder of the group Catholic Voices, says: \"Declaring her day a Feast reflects a growing awareness that the role of women in the early Church was an important one, and needs to be recovered.\n\n\"But opening church leadership to women's unique gifts does not equate to opening the priesthood to women - at least that argument is not being made in any significant way in the Church at the moment,\"\n\nArguments against women's ordination in the Church of England were ultimately unsuccessful.\n\nBut of course the Catholic Church is very different. In the CofE the argument over women's ordination went on for decades. But it was possible to say where it had got to by referring to the state of discussions in the General Synod. It could not have been stopped for good by a ruling like that of Pope John Paul.\n\nOf all the hundreds of churches named after Mary Magdalene, the grandest is perhaps La Madeleine in Paris. Marochetti's statue on the high altar shows angels lifting her to heaven..\n\nA change in doctrine can come as news to Catholics. And it can happen suddenly.\n\nThat was the case with Mary Magdalene herself. In the late 6th Century AD Pope Gregory I declared that she was also the woman in Luke 7:37 who \"lived a sinful life\", who washed Jesus's feet and dried them with her hair.\n\nThis fuelled the tradition that Mary Magdalene was not only a sinner (which Christianity says we all are) but a particularly colourful one, and inspired dozens of artistic portrayals of her ranging from ravaged penitent to borderline erotic.\n\nBut the revised Roman Calendar of 1969 simply declared that 22 July was indeed the day of Mary Magdalene, but she was not the woman in Luke 7:37. And that, after nearly 1,400 years. was that.\n\nIs she, as the Anglican Rev Giles Fraser claims some see her, \"the standard bearer for women's developing role in the Catholic church, and even... for women's ordination\"?\n\nThe Church can hardly show it is moved by the late unofficial gospels - one of which talks of Jesus repeatedly kissing Mary Magdalene,; the recent crop of stories claiming she was actually married to Jesus; or the Rooney Mara film. And Pope Gregory's claims about her sinful life may be discredited. But all these things contribute to her prestige.", "Donald Trump has held his first news conference in five months, with nine days to go before he takes the oath and assumes power at the White House.\n\nWhile his fury at the allegations concerning his ties to Russia made the headlines, there was plenty more covered.\n\nHis sons, Donald and Eric, will run the Trump Organization, Mr Trump said in a long-awaited announcement concerning his business interests.\n\nHis lawyer Sheri Dillon also said:\n\nShe also turned to the constitution's \"emoluments clause\" which bans government officials from taking money from foreign governments. People have wondered if foreign officials staying at Trump hotels would mean he was in breach. She said no.\n\nBut she said he would donate foreign payments to the Treasury anyway.\n\nHowever, the head of the Office of Government Ethics launched a scathing attack on the overall Trump plan, saying it does not go far enough to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Other ethics experts seem to agree.\n\nThe BBC's Anthony Zurcher: Mr Trump has spent his entire life building his business empire, and he seems reluctant to let it go entirely, ethical concerns notwithstanding. While he says he's stepping away from the business, his decision not to relinquish ownership and his only transfer management to his children will likely not satisfy many of his critics.\n\nThe president-elect suggested the US intelligence agencies are to blame for the unsubstantiated allegations that he paid for Russian prostitutes and fostered close relations between his campaign team and the Kremlin.\n\n\"I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out there... That's something that Nazi Germany would have done.\"\n\nThe top US spy, James Clapper, later hit back, saying the leak was not from the US intelligence community.\n\nAZ: Wednesday was only the latest broadside Mr Trump has fired against a US intelligence community that he believes is trying to undermine the legitimacy of the presidency. His targets feel threatened as well, so this is far from the final exchange.\n\nHe went further than he has before in identifying Russia as the culprit behind hacks of Democratic Party emails, but still carried a caveat.\n\n\"As far as hacking, I think it's Russia. But we also get hacked by other countries and other people.\"\n\nAZ: While Mr Trump was finally willing to acknowledge Russian involvement in 2016 election hacking, he still couched criticism in terms of a larger problem that involves other nations, like China. Mr Trump clearly feels much more comfortable criticising China than he does Vladimir Putin and Russia.\n\nMr Trump said he plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as soon as his health secretary pick is confirmed.\n\nThat could be the same week, the same day or even the same hour, he said.\n\nBut it's not clear whether the Republican party will be able to rally around a new plan.\n\nAZ: While Mr Trump has set a tight timeline for repeal and replacement of Obamacare, it will be a heavy lift for a Congress that still is uncertain on what it should do - or the political fallout it could suffer for doing it.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Donald Trump said the information was 'fake'\n\nThe man who launched his presidential campaign with the condemnation of Mexican immigrants as criminals shows no signs of wavering in his plan to build wall on the southern border.\n\nAZ: For Mr Trump, it's not a matter of if Mexico is going to pay for the border wall (not fence, he emphasised), it's when - and he predicts it will happen in less than a year.\n\n\"There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago. And you'd have millions more workers right now in the United States.\"\n\nAZ: Now we know a bit more about how he will try to foot the bill for the wall - through a tax, which might be easier than asking the Mexican government to cough up a cheque.\n\nAsked about filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court, he said he has a list of 20 and will put one of them up within his first two weeks.\n\n\"It will be a decision which I very strongly believe in. I think it's one of the reasons I got elected.\"\n\nAZ: While the Supreme Court wasn't a top issue for many American voters, it was likely an important factor in keeping evangelical conservatives in Mr Trump's column. His pick will likely reward their faith.\n\n\"We have to get our drug industry coming back,\" he said.\n\nWe need to \"create new bidding procedures for the drug industry, because they're getting away with murder,\" he added.\n\nAfter the press conference, Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders expressed his full agreement.\n\n\"Pharma does get away with murder. Literally murder. People die because they can't get the prescription drugs they need.\"\n\nAZ: Talking about using the power of government negotiation to reduce drug prices is a regular talking point for Democrats, but Mr Trump's interest in taking on big pharmaceutical companies probably comes as a bit of a shock to his Republican colleagues.\n\nMr Trump cracked a joke when he said he could not have done some of the more salacious things alleged in the intelligence dossier.\n\n\"Does anyone believe that story? I'm a germophobe, by the way.\"\n\nIt has long been part of media folklore that he is averse to physical contact and once passed hand-sanitiser to journalists.\n\nAZ: Back when Mr Trump was giving regular press conferences, his answers were frequently peppered with quirky non-sequiturs or comments that would never come out of the mouth of a traditional politician. It seems like President Trump will stick to that script.\n\n\"I was in Russia years ago, with the Miss Universe contest, which did very well - Moscow, the Moscow area did very, very well.\n\n\"And I told many people, 'Be careful, because you don't wanna see yourself on television.

That's almost three in every 10 services.\n\nHowever, if the latest-available figures - from 11 December to 7 January - are taken in isolation, the percentage of late-running trains rises to 35.4%.\n\nThe national average for the same period was 12.6%\n\nIn fact, all lines run by Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway, were in the bottom six of the list for the latest period (Southern Metro, Great Northern, Gatwick Express, Southern Mainline and Coast and Thameslink), with between 21.3% and 35.4% of trains arriving late at their destinations.\n\n*This is the Public Performance Measure (PPM) - the industry standard measure that monitors trains arriving within five minutes of scheduled arrival times for commuter services or 10 minutes for long-distance services. \"Cancelled or significantly late\" means cancelled trains or those arriving more than 30 minutes after a scheduled arrival time.\n\nOn Wednesday 11 January, the second strike day that week, Southern's own daily performance chart showed 60% of its Southern Mainline services were arriving late. That's six out of every 10 services.\n\nMeanwhile, the top performer nationally during the latest four-week period of 11 December to 7 January, was London Overground - with only 2.9% of its London services late. Merseyrail Electrics Northern line also performed well, with just 2.9% late-running trains.\n\nLooking further back over the last two years, Southern's Mainline and Coast performance has fluctuated, but delays have increased since the beginning of this year, according to the three official measures.\n\nUsing the Public Performance Measure (trains arriving late by more than five minutes), Southern's best performance since April 2014 was attained over the summer of that year - 10.3% of trains late. It has never attained that figure since.\n\nIts worst period was between 29 May and 26 June last year, with 44.2% - almost half - of its services running late by more than five minutes. Some 68.6% (almost seven in 10) of trains were running more than 59 seconds late and 23.6% (almost a quarter) of services were cancelled or arriving more than 30 minutes late.\n\nThe latest National Rail Passenger Survey, released in Spring 2016, showed the lowest ratings for overall passenger satisfaction were given to Southern (69%) and Southeastern (69%), closely followed by Great Northern (74%), Thameslink (74%) and Abellio Greater Anglia (77%). Southern, Great Northern and Thameslink are all run by Govia Thameslink Railway.\n\nNationally, the highest ratings for overall satisfaction were achieved by Grand Central (96%), First Hull Trains (94%), Virgin Trains (92%), Chiltern Railways (91%) and Heathrow Express (91%).\n\nSouthern rail has promised to restore a \"full train service\" from Tuesday 24 January after talks with Aslef were described as constructive.\n\nThree Aslef strike days - on the 24, 25, 26 January - have been cancelled as a result of the talks, however the RMT union's walkout on Monday 23 January is still set to go ahead.\n\nRail performance is measured in a number of ways. There are targets on punctuality, reliability, causes of delay, asset failures and disruption to the network from planned engineering work. Official statistics, published by the Office of Rail and Road, include the following indicators regarding punctuality and reliability:\n\nThe rail industry reports data on a periodic basis rather than the more recognised reporting cycles such as monthly or quarterly.

One of them, Oliver Schmidt, has spent the past few days in a Miami jail. Others may yet find themselves in the firing line.\n\nBut because of this, we now have a very clear idea not only of what Volkswagen was doing wrong, and how it went about it, but also the measures that were taken to conceal that wrongdoing.\n\nAs part of its plea bargain with the US authorities Volkswagen signed up to an agreed \"Statement of Facts\". It draws heavily on the results of an investigation by the law firm Jones Day, commissioned by VW itself.\n\nThe FBI makes further detailed allegations in its criminal complaint against Oliver Schmidt. These have not yet been tested or admitted.\n\nAccording to these documents, the seeds of the scandal were sown in 2006, when VW were designing a new diesel engine for the US market.\n\nSupervisors in the engine department realised they had a problem. They could not design an engine that would meet tough emissions standards due to enter into force in 2007, and at the same time give customers the performance that they wanted.\n\nTheir solution was to ask their engineers to design engine management software which would turn on emissions controls when the car was being tested, and turn them off when it was being driven on the road.\n\nThis 'defeat device' software was able to recognise the standard testing procedure. It was based on a program developed by VW's subsidiary Audi, which engineers had specifically stated should \"absolutely not be used\" in the US.\n\nNot everyone was happy about this, it seems. Engineers \"raised objections to the propriety of the defeat device\" in late 2006.\n\nIn response, a manager decided that production should continue, still using the device. He also \"instructed those in attendance, in sum and substance, not to get caught\".\n\nA similar row broke out the following year, and again, the decision was taken to press on regardless.\n\nSubsequently, the use of the defeat device appears to have become routine.\n\nThe Statement of Facts describes how the software was refined and improved over time.\n\nA spate of breakdowns was blamed on the cars remaining in 'test' mode while being driven on the road. Supervisors worked with engineers to solve the problem, and \"encouraged the further concealment of the software\".\n\nThe engineers were also told to destroy documents relating to the issue.\n\nThe deception came to a head when, in 2014, the California Air Resources Board approached the company to find out why tests had shown that its cars were emitting up to 40 times the permissible amount of nitrogen oxides when driven on the road.\n\nVW supervisors \"determined not to disclose to US regulators that the tested vehicle models operated with a defeat device\". Instead they \"decided to pursue a strategy of concealing the defeat device… while appearing to cooperate\".\n\nThe FBI claims in its criminal complaint against Mr Schmidt - who was a head of compliance at VW's US division from 2012 to 2015 - that the deception eventually went to the very top of the company.\n\nCiting \"co-operative witnesses\" and allegedly corroborating documentation, it claims that the company's executive management in Wolfsburg were briefed on the issue in July 2015. Rather than tell its staff to come clean about the defeat device, it says, \"VW executive management authorized its continued concealment\".\n\nThere is, however, no mention of this meeting in the statement agreed by Volkswagen.\n\nUltimately, Volkswagen's wrongdoing was confirmed to the authorities by a single employee acting \"in direct contravention of instructions from supervisors at VW\". But the deception did not end there.\n\nThe Statement of Facts explains how VW staff were warned by an in-house lawyer that the authorities were about to circulate a so-called \"hold notice\", obliging them to retain and preserve documents under their control.\n\nEngineers were told to \"check their documents\", which several of those present \"understood to mean that they should delete their documents\".\n\nThe message was repeated at a number of subsequent meetings, one of them attended by 30-40 people and ultimately thousands of documents were deleted.\n\nWhen the scandal at Volkswagen first came to light, the company's former US chief executive, Michael Horn blamed \"a couple of software engineers\". It is now clear that many more people were involved, at least some of them in positions of authority, and deliberate attempts were made to cover up wrongdoing.\n\nIt is not hard, then, to see why the US authorities have taken such a tough line with the company. But some questions remain unanswered.\n\nWe still don't know for certain, for example, whether people at board level knew what was going on.\n\nIt's also unclear why the same software that was fitted illegally to 600,000 US vehicles was also present on millions of others sold around the world, including eight million in Europe.\n\nVW continues to maintain that the systems didn't actually break European law - though it is in the process of repairing those vehicles all the same.", "The allegations against Donald Trump in the documents read like something from a bad film\n\nDonald Trump has described as \"fake news\" allegations published in some media that his election team colluded with Russia - and that Russia held compromising material about his private life. The BBC's Paul Wood saw the allegations before the election, and reports on the fallout now they have come to light.\n\nThe significance of these allegations is that, if true, the president-elect of the United States would be vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.\n\nI understand the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat - or compromising material - on the next US commander in chief. At the same time a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign.\n\nClaims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent, understood to be Christopher Steele.\n\nAs a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK's embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.\n\nThey told him that Mr Trump had been filmed with a group of prostitutes in the presidential suite of Moscow's Ritz-Carlton hotel. I know this because the Washington political research company that commissioned his report showed it to me during the final week of the election campaign.\n\nThe BBC decided not to use it then, for the very good reason that without seeing the tape - if it exists - we could not know if the claims were true. The detail of the allegations were certainly lurid. The entire series of reports has now been posted by BuzzFeed.\n\nMr Trump's supporters say this is a politically motivated attack.\n\nThe president-elect himself, outraged, tweeted this morning: \"Are we living in Nazi Germany?\"\n\nLater, at his much-awaited news conference, he was unrestrained.\n\n\"A thing like that should have never been written,\" he said, \"and certainly should never have been released.\"\n\nHe said the memo was written by \"sick people [who] put that crap together\".\n\nThe opposition research firm that commissioned the report had worked first for an anti-Trump superpac - political action committee - during the Republican primaries.\n\nThen during the general election, it was funded by an anonymous Democratic Party supporter. But these are not political hacks - their usual line of work is country analysis and commercial risk assessment, similar to the former MI6 agent's consultancy. He, apparently, gave his dossier to the FBI against the firm's advice.\n\nMr Trump was in Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant (pictured)\n\nAnd the former MI6 agent is not the only source for the claim about Russian kompromat on the president-elect. Back in August, a retired spy told me he had been informed of its existence by \"the head of an East European intelligence agency\".\n\nLater, I used an intermediary to pass some questions to active duty CIA officers dealing with the case file - they would not speak to me directly. I got a message back that there was \"more than one tape\", \"audio and video\", on \"more than one date\", in \"more than one place\" - in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and also in St Petersburg - and that the material was \"of a sexual nature\".\n\nThe claims of Russian kompromat on Mr Trump were \"credible\", the CIA believed. That is why - according to the New York Times and Washington Post - these claims ended up on President Barack Obama's desk last week, a briefing document also given to Congressional leaders and to Mr Trump himself.\n\nMr Trump did visit Moscow in November 2013, the date the main tape is supposed to have been made. There is TV footage of him at the Miss Universe contest. Any visitor to a grand hotel in Moscow would be wise to assume that their room comes equipped with hidden cameras and microphones as well as a mini-bar.\n\nAt his news conference, Mr Trump said he warned his staff when they travelled: \"Be very careful, because in your hotel rooms and no matter where you go you're going to probably have cameras.\" So the Russian security services have made obtaining kompromat an art form.\n\nEven President Vladimir Putin says there is \"kompromat\" on him - though perhaps he is joking\n\nOne Russian specialist told me that Vladimir Putin himself sometimes says there is kompromat on him - though perhaps he is joking. The specialist went on to tell me that FSB officers are prone to boasting about having tapes on public figures, and to be careful of any statements they might make.\n\nA former CIA officer told me he had spoken by phone to a serving FSB officer who talked about the tapes. He concluded: \"It's hokey as hell.\"\n\nMr Trump and his supporters are right to point out that these are unsubstantiated allegations.\n\nBut it is not just sex, it is money too. The former MI6 agent's report detailed alleged attempts by the Kremlin to offer Mr Trump lucrative \"sweetheart deals\" in Russia that would buy his loyalty.\n\nMr Trump turned these down, and indeed has done little real business in Russia. But a joint intelligence and law enforcement taskforce has been looking at allegations that the Kremlin paid money to his campaign through his associates.\n\nOn 15 October, the US secret intelligence court issued a warrant to investigate two Russian banks. This news was given to me by several sources and corroborated by someone I will identify only as a senior member of the US intelligence community. He would never volunteer anything - giving up classified information would be illegal - but he would confirm or deny what I had heard from other sources.\n\nMr Trump says Moscow has \"never tried to use leverage on me\"\n\n\"I'm going to write a story that says…\" I would say. \"I don't have a problem with that,\" he would reply, if my information was accurate. He confirmed the sequence of events below.\n\nLast April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.\n\nIt was passed to the US by an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter-intelligence taskforce was created.\n\nThe taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice. For the foreign and intelligence aspects of the investigation, there were another three agencies: the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Agency, responsible for electronic spying.\n\nLawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the Fisa court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.\n\nTheir first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.\n\nHarry Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, pictured, accused the FBI of holding back information\n\nNeither Mr Trump nor his associates are named in the Fisa order, which would only cover foreign citizens or foreign entities - in this case the Russian banks. But ultimately, the investigation is looking for transfers of money from Russia to the United States, each one, if proved, a felony offence.\n\nA lawyer- outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case - told me that three of Mr Trump's associates were the subject of the inquiry. \"But it's clear this is about Trump,\" he said.\n\nI spoke to all three of those identified by this source. All of them emphatically denied any wrongdoing. \"Hogwash,\" said one. \"Bullshit,\" said another. Of the two Russian banks, one denied any wrongdoing, while the other did not respond to a request for comment.\n\nThe investigation was active going into the election. During that period, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Harry Reid, wrote to the director of the FBI, accusing him of holding back \"explosive information\" about Mr Trump.\n\nMr Reid sent his letter after getting an intelligence briefing, along with other senior figures in Congress. Only eight people were present: the chairs and ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, and the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in Congress, the \"gang of eight\" as they are sometimes called. Normally, senior staff attend \"gang of eight\" intelligence briefings, but not this time. The Congressional leaders were not even allowed to take notes.\n\nIn the letter to the FBI director, James Comey, Mr Reid said: \"In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and co-ordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Mr Trump praises at every opportunity.\n\n\"The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.\"\n\nThe CIA, FBI, Justice and Treasury all refused to comment when I approached them after hearing about the Fisa warrant.\n\nIt is not clear what will happen to the inter-agency investigation under President Trump - or even if the taskforce is continuing its work now. The Russians have denied any attempt to influence the president-elect - with either money or a blackmail tape.\n\nHillary Clinton referred to Mr Trump as Mr Putin's \"puppet\" during the debates\n\nIf a tape exists, the Russians would hardly give it up, though some hope to encourage a disloyal FSB officer who might want to make some serious money. Before the election, Larry Flynt, publisher of the pornographic magazine Hustler, put up a million dollars for incriminating tape of Mr Trump. Penthouse has now followed with its own offer of a million dollars for the Ritz-Carlton tape (if it exists).\n\nIt is an extraordinary situation, 10 days before Mr Trump is sworn into office, but it was foreshadowed during the campaign.\n\nDuring the final presidential debate, Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump a \"puppet\" of Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin. \"No puppet. No puppet,\" Mr Trump interjected, talking over Mrs Clinton. \"You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet.\"\n\nIn a New York Times op-ed in August, the former director of the CIA, Michael Morell, wrote: \"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr Putin had recruited Mr Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.\"\n\nAgent; puppet - both terms imply some measure of influence or control by Moscow.\n\nMichael Hayden, former head of both the CIA and the NSA, simply called Mr Trump a \"polezni durak\" - a useful fool.\n\nThe background to those statements was information held - at the time - within the intelligence community. Now all Americans have heard the claims. Little more than a week before his inauguration, they will have to decide if their president-elect really was being blackmailed by Moscow.\n\nClarification: 11 January - This article was amended to make clear that the opposition research firm which commissioned the report had first worked for an anti-Trump political action committee.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nBritish number one Johanna Konta won the Sydney International on Friday with an impressive 6-4 6-2 victory over Agnieszka Radwanska in Australia.\n\nWorld number 10 Konta broke her Polish opponent in the third game and hit 18 winners to five in the first set.\n\nThe 25-year-old dominated world number three Radwanska with some stunning returns and powerful hitting, and she convincingly won the second set.\n\nKonta finished the match off with an ace to claim her second WTA tour title.\n\nAnd Britain could yet boast both the women's and men's champions in Sydney, with Dan Evans defeating Andrey Kuznetsov to reach his first ATP Tour final, while Jamie Murray is in the doubles final.\n\nKonta, playing in the city of her birth, did not drop a set all week as she marched through a high-class field.\n\n\"I was born here, so this is a very special moment for me,\" Konta said. \"I'm really happy.\"\n\n\"I'm really pleased with the amount of matches I've been able to play.

It is an exercise in selection - which stories, facts, claims, pictures, words, ideas to publish, and which to leave out - that relies on several smaller judgements.\n\nThese include: the importance you attach to veracity; your own political persuasion; a sense of your audience's interest and - outside the BBC and unfortunately more common now the news business model is under such strain - a consideration of the commercial implications of publishing particular things.\n\nThe rectitude of all moral activity or actions - editorial judgement included - can be analysed along three criteria:\n\nLet's look at Buzzfeed's decision to publish the dossier in terms of intentions and consequences.\n\nSome people will argue that - whether you agree with it or not - there is a coherent case for putting information in the public domain even if you are not 100% certain it is true.\n\nBen Smith, the editor-in-chief, has spoken eloquently about how, in our digital era, publishers are no longer gatekeepers of information who demand to be trusted, arguing that Buzzfeed is simply a distributor.\n\nHis second argument is that because this publication was being circulated widely among government officials, it had tremendous news value and therefore it was in the public interest to put it in the public domain with plenty of caveats so readers could make up their own minds.\n\nI know from personal experience that, if you are a digital publisher whose content is free, you mainly make money from advertising, which is related to traffic and which you are under immense pressure to generate.\n\nThis ultimately commercial imperative can - and does - influence the editorial judgement of many publishers.\n\nBut let us be charitable to Buzzfeed and say that commercial considerations did not influence this editorial decision.\n\nBuzzfeed has a young audience and often publishes journalism associated with the political Left, unlike Trump whose most stable constituency is older voters on the Right.\n\nIt is reasonable to conclude that one reason Buzzfeed published this dossier about Mr Trump is that it calculated it could harm someone it does not like.\n\nSo Buzzfeed, having put traffic considerations aside, and being antithetical to some of the things Mr Trump stands for, calculated that the document, which had potentially huge implications for the incoming president, deserved to be seen in its entirety by readers who want access to information.\n\nThat covers the intentions, but what of the consequences?\n\nHuge traffic for this article must have been one consequence. Another is that Buzzfeed, as a powerful international brand, is now clearly associated with a willingness to publish information it knows could be false.\n\nAnother consequence is of course that the information contained in the dossier, some of it untrue, much of it not corroborated, is now in the public domain we call cyberspace. Perhaps citizens across the globe are digesting it to better understand the incoming president.\n\nFinally, life has been made harder for other news organisations, such as CNN, who Trump targeted in his remarkable press conference.\n\nThey have now been conflated with Buzzfeed under Trump's pernicious umbrella term \"fake news\".\n\nBuzzfeed could reasonably say it is not its job to secure access to Mr Trump for CNN - and in any case the president-elect was not exactly friendly with the mainstream media before the dossier's publication.\n\nIt will be for editors and citizens everywhere to decide, in balancing Buzzfeed's intentions with the (largely foreseeable) consequences, whether it made a correct editorial judgement.\n\nThat in turn depends on your moral position - your commitment to truth and so on.\n\nWhat really interests me is that Mr Smith is saying that the digital revolution has redefined journalism, creating publishers who are prepared to put lots of information into the public domain without verifying it.\n\nJulian Assange's Wikileaks has put huge amounts of information into the public domain\n\nThere is a difference, however, between Wikileaks, who do that sort of thing, and what most journalists understand their role to be: corroborating information before making selections as to what should be published.\n\nIn a sense, Mr Smith's position is an argument against journalism, in that being gatekeepers who curate and edit the world is precisely what many hacks believe their role to be.\n\nJust as traditional media included many different types of publisher - tabloids v broadsheets, for example - so new, digital media include those who exhaustively check their facts and proceed with caution and those who are prepared to publish unverified allegations because they think the public should know.\n\nThe BBC is in the former camp, as my colleague Paul Wood argued in his excellent blog.\n\nWe work very hard to verify claims before publishing them: so much so that there are always big stories we know about that we cannot use, because we haven't got sufficiently solid sourcing. Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has talked about this - and I can certainly relate to it.\n\nTogether with Mr Trump, this controversy helps to illuminate how fast the media is changing - and how it affects all our lives.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nBriton Dan Evans reached his first ATP Tour final with a 6-2 3-6 6-3 win over Andrey Kuznetsov in the semi-finals of the Sydney International in Australia.\n\nEvans, 26, started strongly against the 25-year-old Russian and won the opening set in 30 minutes before being pegged back.\n\nThe world number 67 broke serve early in the decider and held on to beat a player ranked 19 places above him.\n\nHe will now face Luxembourg's Gilles Muller at 08:30 GMT on Saturday.\n\nIn the men's doubles, Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazilian partner Bruno Soares also secured a place in the final with a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) win over Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah.\n\nThey will play Dutch duo Wesley Koolhof and Matwe Middlekoop at 05:00 on Saturday.\n\nBritain has already enjoyed success at the event with Johanna Konta winning the women's final after impressively beating Agnieszka Radwanska.\n\nEvans, who is already guaranteed to climb to a new career-high ranking just outside the top 50, said: \"It was a good match.

Yes, yes, I was about to leave,\" he said earlier this month. \"But not because of Chelsea.\n\n\"There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but it wasn't to be, and I continue to be happy here.\"\n\nShortly afterwards, manager Antonio Conte said he believed the striker was now \"completely focused\" on \"fighting for this club and for his shirt\".\n\nHe added: \"When Diego decided to stay, I wasn't concerned.

There is no loyalty from clubs in football.\n\nHe's already defected from Brazil, his native country, to play for Spain and has no real affinity with England and the Premier League. I'm sure he likes London but he doesn't have any real affinity here.\n\nBrazilians move around all the time; they will go wherever the money is.\n\nThis is how the Premier League started, paying huge money for foreign stars and now China is trying wrestle the Premier League away from England.\n\nIn general, how many England players have gone abroad in the past? We like our creature comforts. Brazilians are quite happy to up and leave.\n\nDiego Costa has got no loyalty or affinity with England and the Premier League and you can't blame him - everybody would do the same thing.\n\nEverything has been smooth sailing for Chelsea up to now. Imagine the faces of Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham. This is what they have been waiting for.\n\nAnother bid from the Chinese market seems to be rocking the boat of another top club. It's a huge problem.\n\nWhen these situations arise, the players are probably thinking they'll go and do two years and then come back and play in the Premier League. Financially, they're not just supporting their immediate family, they are supporting their whole family… aunts, uncles and cousins.\n\nI'd still give Chelsea a good chance of winning the title even if they lost him. With the lead they now have, I think they can cope if they replace him.\n\nYou don't want to keep players at your club who don't want to be there. Yes, Costa has been a huge part of Chelsea's success but he's not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.\n\nDiego Costa is a problem for any defender. He is strong, quick and doesn't stop running.

He became manager and coach at the club, winning the Fourth Division title with them before moving to Watford in 1977.\n\nIt was here, in tandem with his chairman Sir Elton John, that he produced arguably his finest work, taking the club from the Fourth Division to the top flight in the space of five exhilarating years.\n• None Listen again to a 5 live special: Tributes to Graham Taylor\n\nTaylor nurtured Watford legends such as Luther Blissett and John Barnes, remarkably finishing second behind Liverpool in their first season at that elite level and reaching the FA Cup final in 1984, where they lost 2-0 to Everton.\n\nNot so long ago he joked with me, with his usual broad smile: \"You know I have never watched any of that game from that day to this - but I don't need to see it again to know that second goal from Andy Gray was a bloody foul on our goalkeeper Steve Sherwood.\"\n\nTaylor's unlikely partnership with the flamboyant rock star worked against the odds, the manager's down-to-earth approach dovetailing with his chairman's lavish lifestyle. They remained friends for life, as demonstrated by Sir Elton's heartfelt tribute.\n\nOn trips abroad when he worked as a BBC Sport pundit, Taylor would gladly tell stories of that partnership, always with a laugh and underlining the genuine affection they shared.\n\nTaylor's brilliance inevitably attracted attention from elsewhere and, perhaps feeling he had achieved all he could at Vicarage Road, he left for Aston Villa in May 1987.\n\nVilla were in reduced circumstances having been relegated to the second flight. Taylor soon put that right by winning promotion in his first season - and, not content with that, rebuilt the club with such success and shrewd management that he took them to second place behind Liverpool in 1990.\n\nTaylor's methods were tried and trusted and yet he often received criticism for what his detractors perceived as \"long ball\" football. He, with much justification, pointed out his willingness to use wingers and flair players such as Barnes and the young Mo Johnston, whom he brought to England from Partick Thistle.\n\nEngland inevitably looked in Taylor's direction after Sir Bobby Robson left following the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where his side lost to West Germany on penalties in the semi-final.\n\nThis was, without doubt, the darkest and most frustrating period of Taylor's career and is one of the reasons his other work has been so criminally underrated over the years.\n\nTaylor took over at a tough time after the loss of England mainstays such as goalkeeper Peter Shilton and past captains such as Terry Butcher and Bryan Robson. He gave players like Alan Shearer and Martin Keown their first England caps - but he drew criticism for selecting players many simply felt were not international class, such as Carlton Palmer.\n\nEngland reached Euro 92 in Sweden under Taylor but produced a series of disappointing performances, going out at the group stage after losing 2-1 to Sweden in Stockholm.\n\nTaylor courted controversy and criticism in that decisive game by substituting England captain and main marksman Gary Lineker for Arsenal striker Alan Smith with a goal still needed - it never arrived and Lineker never played for England again. The manager was vilified and lampooned as a \"turnip\" in the Sun newspaper.\n\nThe campaign to qualify for the World Cup in the United States in 1994 also ended in failure, and was brutally chronicled in the fly-on-the-wall documentary 'The Impossible Job', which gave an intimate insight into the pressures Taylor was under.\n\nThose struggles were illustrated starkly in the game that effectively sealed his fate, the 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in Rotterdam.\n\nHe may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game\n\nThe tortured Taylor is seen on the sidelines pleading with officials after Ronald Koeman somehow escaped a red card for a foul on England's David Platt, only to be reprieved and score the brilliant free-kick that sent the Dutch on the way to victory.\n\nHe resigned the following month and stayed out of the game until returning at Wolves in March 1994. During his spell in charge he took them into the second-tier play-offs in 1994-95, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers.\n\nTaylor left in November 1995 before returning to revisit old glories. Sir Elton John was back at the helm at Watford so it was no surprise when he turned to Taylor to come back to Vicarage Road as general manager in February 1996.\n\nIt was once more the perfect fit and he was back as manager a year later, winning the third-tier title in 1998 before putting Watford in the Premier League at the end of the following season after a play-off final victory over Bolton.\n\nWatford, despite an early win at Liverpool, were relegated and the following season Taylor decided to retire - only to change his mind and make a comeback at Villa in February 2002. He retired for a second and final time after they struggled the following season.\n\nIt was the end of one chapter and the start of another as Taylor became a respected pundit on BBC Radio 5 live, a role he performed with total assurance and perception.\n\nTaylor was part of the radio team that covered England. It was a sign of the esteem in which he was held by fans as well as players that whenever he encountered supporters abroad, he was treated with complete respect.\n\nThere was barely a reference from England followers to any of his struggles in charge of the national team. To them, Taylor was a true gentleman, to be given his due not just for his work but for his warm personality and willingness to discuss football matters with anyone he met.\n\nHe may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game.\n• None Archive: Media treated me like dirt after England - Taylor\n• None Archive: Taylor told me to stick to cricket - Botham\n\nAs a BBC Sport colleague, Taylor was unfailingly co-operative and the consummate professional, willing to take a call at any time, even when he was meant to be spending time with his beloved wife Rita.\n\nAnd as well as a fount of knowledge and a man with strong opinions, Taylor was also an endless source of entertainment and stories, just as happy to poke fun at himself as everyone else.\n\nGraham Taylor was a top-class manager at club level and a true gentleman inside and outside of football. He will be greatly missed and perhaps now his work in management, viewed through the prism of this sad news, will finally get the credit it fully deserves.", "Snow has fallen across parts of the UK, as the Met Office has warned of high winds, snow and ice on Friday.", "Last updated on .From the section Boxing\n\nTrainer Liam Wilkins has had his licence withdrawn after overseeing the sparring session that left retired boxer Nick Blackwell in hospital.\n\nHasan Karkardi has been suspended for six months for sparring with Blackwell, who was left requiring surgery to reduce swelling on his brain.\n\nThe British Boxing Board of Control said Wilkins' conduct was \"detrimental to the interests of boxing\".\n\nBlackwell, 26, retired after suffering a bleed on the skull in March.\n\nHe spent a week in an induced coma after losing his British middleweight title fight with Chris Eubank Jr.\n\nDespite Blackwell not having a licence to fight, and despite him being advised not to return to the ring, he sparred with Karkardi, 29, on 22 November at a boxing club in Devizes, Wiltshire.\n\nOn Wednesday, a family member told BBC Sport Blackwell is still unable to walk, and a year away from making a full recovery.", "Samya Gupta, a 21-year-old law student from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, was napping on a seat near the back of a bus when she felt something on her breasts.\n\nIt was the hands of a man sitting in the row behind her.\n\n\"The moment I realised (what was happening), I stood up from my seat, yelled and asked for his ID proof,\" Gupta wrote in a widely-shared Facebook post.\n\nShe went on to detail how she not only confronted her alleged molester, but got the bus to take a detour so he could be taken into police custody.\n\nGupta ended her account with a series of hashtags including #TooHorrifiedToLetItGo. But the social media users who have expressed admiration for Gupta's stand, may be disappointed by what has happened since.\n\nIn her post Gupta wrote that when she challenged the man, who she says was in his 40s, he apologised. There were around 30 other passengers on the bus and they reportedly vocalised their support for Gupta. But they also advised her to not pursue the matter, she said.\n\n\"My co-passengers asked me to accept it, and let it go,\" Gupta wrote, \"But I decided otherwise. I decided to not let it go. I decided to not let an audacious eve-teaser to go free merely by apologising.\"\n\nIn her post she said that she chose to speak up because she didn't want the alleged aggressor to feel confident enough in the future to escalate his behaviour to a more violent assault - \"to convert into a rapist\".\n\n\"Eve teasing\" is a common term used in some South Asian countries to refer to a wide variety of behaviour including molestation. According to Sameera Khan, the co-author of 'Why Loiter? Women & Risk on Mumbai Streets' it includes \"flashing or any verbal/physical sexual street harassment that falls short of rape.\"\n\n\"It's an archaic term,\" says Khan, \"The 'Eve' part comes from the Old Testament and describing harassment as 'teasing' makes it sound almost like a mild romantic overture that should be tolerated - which of course it should not.\"\n\nGupta told BBC Trending that she persuaded the bus driver to divert the bus to the nearest local police station. The passengers, who had surrounded the man who had allegedly been groping Gupta, then escorted them both into the building. There Gupta filed a harassment complaint against the man whose name has not emerged in the media and was not named in Gupta's post.\n\n\"The process of filing a complaint was lengthy and laborious,\" Gupta added.\n\nShe says that she was informed she would have to provide her statement in Hindi, a language she says she doesn't know to write well.\n\n\"This made me wonder what happens to illiterate women in India who muster up the courage to go to the police,\" she told Trending, \"I'm a law student and even I found the process tedious and challenging.\"\n\nGupta wrote in her Facebook post that her problems didn't end when she left the police station. She claimed that when she took another bus several acquaintances of the alleged harasser approached her and told her to drop her complaint. She added that they questioned her character, accusing her of \"goofing around with various guys every now and then, therefore my allegations have no sense of veracity\".\n\nA court date was set for a hearing for the harassment charge. But before it arrived Gupta withdrew her charge.\n\nSpeaking to Trending, she cited a couple of reasons for dropping the case.\n\nOne, she said, was due to \"complacency with paperwork\" which she claimed resulted in her mobile number becoming available to man's family. As a result, Gupta told Trending, she received calls pressuring her to drop the case because the accused man was a father of two.\n\nSimilarly, she said, her own family also advised her to drop the case.\n\n\"They felt Eve teasing wasn't serious enough an incident to merit going through with a court trial,\" Gupta told Trending.\n\nShe added: \"I am a student and I don't earn my own money. I come a family with no background with the law. Going to the police station was a big deal for them. I dropped the charge because it seemed like too much pressure on my family.\"\n\nLocal police have defended the handling of the case. Inspector Shiv Mangal Singh told BBC Trending that officers had followed protocol.\n\n\"Then the girl, Samya Gupta and her father, came to the police station and told us to drop the case. In terms of the accuser's family getting her phone number, that didn't happen at our end, it may be an administration issue with the lawyers. Similarly, they were people available to translate and write the document in Hindi for her.\"\n\nInspector Singh said that even after the case had been dropped, the man still spent several more days in custody, because the statute under which he was arrested requires suspects to remain in custody for 14 days without the prospect of bail.\n\nHe added: \"We take Eve-teasing seriously and have set up a Whatsapp number where women can send complaints about Eve-teasing.\"\n\nEve-teasing, is not specifically classified as an offence specific in Indian law. However sections of the Indian Penal code are said to cover offences comprising sexually intimidating behaviour.

Does knowing how many calories we're burning, how fast our hearts are beating, and how many steps we've taken really motivate us to do more exercise and eat more healthily?\n\nIn short, do they really work?\n\n\"They've made us all aware of how we treat our bodies, and they have even helped people diagnose things like diabetes and obesity,\" says Collette Johnson, head of marketing at design technology consultancy Plextek.\n\n\"But I feel they could go further.\"\n\nLast year the University of Pittsburgh concluded that fitness trackers were \"ineffective at sustaining weight loss\".\n\nThe two-year study, conducted by the university's School of Education Department of Health and Physical Activity, involved 500 overweight volunteers. All were asked to diet and engage in more exercise, but only half were given a fitness tracker to help them.\n\nDo fitness trackers make us more or less motivated?\n\nThe study found that the group wearing trackers lost 8lb (3.6kg), but the ones who didn't lost 13lb (5.9kg).\n\n\"Trackers are a reliable measurement of our activity, but we can't rely on them completely,\" says Andrew Lane, professor of sport psychology at the University of Wolverhampton.\n\n\"We can't expect just to buy one and that's it - some of the responsibility sits with us too. We still have to get off that sofa and complete those 10,000 steps a day.\"\n\nProf Lane believes that, if used inappropriately, they may even start to have a negative psychological effect.\n\n\"What if we start consistently not reaching goals set for us by them? Ultimately it would lead to us feeling demotivated - the opposite effect they are supposed to have.\"\n\nSuch concerns haven't stopped the market from booming - yet.\n\nLeading wearable fitness tracker maker Fitbit reported 2015 revenues of £1.3bn, while researcher CSS Insight forecasts that the market will be worth £16bn by 2020.\n\nAnd the fact that smartwatch sales declined sharply last year, according to market analysts IDC, has led many makers to reposition them primarily as fitness-tracking devices - another indication of where the business potential lies.\n\nBut is the problem with them that they are neither accurate nor sophisticated enough yet?\n\n\"As well as providing data for us, companies need to provide coaching with this data. They need to take responsibility for the results they're providing us,\" says Prof Lane.\n\nPlextek's Collette Johnson thinks trackers need to give us more tailored advice\n\nAnd Plextek's Ms Johnson thinks they need to understand more about the individual user.\n\n\"They need to recognise whether Sharon from Uxbridge really should be doing two hours of fitness a week, how that's going to impact upon her body, her joints, whether she's at risk of osteoporosis.\n\n\"Fitness trackers can be too generic, personalising them will motivate us more,\" she tells the BBC.\n\nApps, like the Slimming World app, may be better for achieving sustained weight loss, she argues, because they allow you to track your weight loss progress and give you incentives after it has recorded your exercise.\n\n\"There is no doubt the industry is booming, but for it to really see results it needs not only to give us results, but to make them as personalised and as accurate as possible.\"\n\nSo what tech innovations are making fitness tracking more effective?\n\nGenetics and nutrition firm DNAFit advises on how we should be training and what we should be eating after testing our genes and applying its algorithm to the analysis.\n\nYou take a saliva swab and send it off to the company's lab. After 10 days a report tells you which exercises your body will respond to best and which foods you should be eating. The company says its technology platform has been peer reviewed and clinically tested.\n\nAndrew Steele, DNAFit's head of product, shows how to take a saliva swab for DNA testing\n\nOther companies

quickly and told me that I was actually lactose intolerant and had a high sensitivity to gluten.\n\n\"This did mean quite a radical change to my diet, and a lot more forward planning, but within a week I felt a lot less bloated, lost weight and I'd stopped having stomach problems.\"\n\nBody scanners and tech built into sports clothes are also giving us more detailed results.\n\nFor example, Fit3D uses scanners to assess the whole body to calculate body fat percentage, assess posture and give body shape scoring.\n\nWhile last year, OMsignal launched OMbra, a smart sports bra that tracks heart rate, breathing and distance between steps, and shares this data with a smartphone app.\n\nThe OMbra is a wearable fitness tracker that's really wearable\n\nProf Lane believes that we're also going to start seeing biometric devices integrated not just into clothes and wearable devices, but directly on to our bodies as well.\n\nFor example, US tech firm Chaotic Moon Studios - now called

nutritional advice or in weight loss because people are notoriously bad at recording their own eating habits.\n\nThe test, detailed in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, detects chemicals made as food is processed by the body.\n\nThe research team believe it could be widely available within two years.\n\nThe urine samples are analysed to determine the structure of the chemicals floating around in it using a technique called a proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.\n\nThis gives clues to both recent meals and long term dietary habits.\n\nThe results of your body processing fruit, vegetables, fish and different types of meat leave a distinct signature in the urine.\n\nClues to the state of the body's metabolism and gut health can also be detected by investigating the chemicals in it.\n\nThe test was developed by a collaboration between Imperial College London, Newcastle University and Aberystwyth University.\n\nDr Isabel Garcia-Perez, one of the researchers at Imperial, said: \"This will eventually provide a tool for personalised dietary monitoring to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.\n\n\"We're not at the stage yet where the test can tell us a person ate 15 chips yesterday and two sausages, but it's on the way.\"\n\nCould urine be more accurate than food diaries?\n\nIn trials, around 60% of people either under or over report what they are eating.\n\nProf Gary Frost, another scientist at Imperial, said this could be the first independent test of what people munch on at home.\n\nHe told the BBC News website: \"You can really tell whether someone's been following a healthy diet or not.\n\n\"The bigger you are the more likely you are to under-report what you eat.\n\n\"People find it difficult to open up to what types of foods they eat at home, which is a major problem.\"\n\nThe researchers believe the test results could help combat people's obesity or risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes.\n\nProf Frost said: \"If someone is very big and their profile says they're eating lots of energy dense foods like meat, then you can try to change that profile and then test them again later.\n\n\"It remains to be seen, but people might respond better to that and there is a desperate need for tools to help people change their diet.\"\n\nHe says doing the test on large numbers of people would build up a picture of what the nation was really eating, which could be used to design better public health campaigns.\n\nThe scientists were able to spot the difference between healthy and unhealthy diets after tests on 19 people who spent days eating a carefully controlled set of meals.\n\nFour diets of varying degrees of healthiness were given to the patients and their urine was sampled morning, noon and night.\n\nDr Des Walsh, from the UK Medical Research Council, commented: \"Though this research is still in its early stages, it's grappling with essential methods in food and diet studies where advances are really needed.\n\n\"Measuring what we eat and drink more accurately will widen the benefits of nutrition research, developing better evidence-based interventions to improve an individual's health and reduce obesity.\"", "Jose Mourinho

Its effect on surrounding ice and dust particles has been tracked ever since.\n\nBut no direct image of Peggy's form has yet been obtained, and time is now short.\n\nThe Cassini spacecraft's mission at Saturn is edging to a close and its dramatic end-of-life disposal.\n\nIn September, the probe will be driven to destruction in the atmosphere of the giant planet, at which point the constant stream of pictures and other data it has returned these past 13 years will come to an abrupt end.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Carl Murray: \"It's like an old friend to us, and so as you say goodbye you'd like to get a picture\"\n\nCarl Murray and his team at Queen Mary University of London know therefore they have only a few months left to get the definitive image.\n\nFortunately, Cassini will spend its remaining time flying close in to the planet and the moonlet's place in the so called A-ring.\n\nThe best ever chance to see the face of Peggy is now at hand.\n\nAnd such is the fondness for this little object, the probe will even be commanded to take one last picture just before the big plunge.\n\n\"Peggy is such an interesting object, and for people who work on the mission and even with the public - it's captured their imagination. It's like an old friend to us, and so as you say goodbye you'd like to get a picture. Peggy will be one of the last targets for Cassini,\" Prof Murray told BBC News.\n\nTheory suggests some of Saturn's bigger moons could even have been made in the rings\n\nThe study of objects like Peggy goes to the core objectives of the multi-billion-dollar international space mission.\n\nThe wide band of ice and dust that surrounds Saturn is a version in miniature of the kind of discs we see circling far-off new stars.\n\nIt is in those discs that planets form, and so seeing the processes and behaviours that give rise to objects like Peggy delivers an insight into how new worlds come into being. It is a model even for how our own Solar System was created.\n\n\"Peggy is evolving. It's orbit is changing with time,\" explained Prof Murray. \"Sometimes it moves out, sometimes it moves in, by just a few kilometres. And this is what we think happens with proto-planets in those astrophysical discs. They interact with other proto-planets and the material in the disc, and they migrate; they move. We see that when we look at exoplanets around other stars: some can’t possibly have formed in the places we detect them now; they must have migrated at some point.\"\n\nPeggy was discovered by accident. Prof Murray was using Cassini to try to image Prometheus - a bigger, very obvious moon connected with the F-ring.\n\nThe gravitational influence of objects within the rings can produce propeller-like features\n\nHe got that no problem, but his eye was drawn to a 2,000km-long smudge in the background.\n\nThat was 15 April 2013 (his mother-in-law's birthday). And a subsequent trawl through the Cassini archive revealed that a disturbance in the A-ring was actually evident from a year before.\n\nPeggy is certainly smaller than 5km across. So to produce that showy smudge, it must have been involved in a collision that kicked up a cloud of ice and dust.\n\nFollow-up observations have monitored the ongoing disturbance. If moonlets are big enough they can clear a gap in Saturn’s rings. But tiny objects like Peggy merely produce small bumps in the surrounding band of particles, or a sort of wavy pattern that looks akin to a propeller.\n\nThis indirect evidence of the presence of a moonlet is all Cassini can achieve when the target is so small and the onboard camera is producing a best resolution of about 5km per pixel. But in the next few months, the orbits the spacecraft will fly around Saturn should bring the resolution down to one or two km per pixel.\n\nThis might be enough to picture Peggy directly, and to confirm an intriguing possibility… that Peggy has recently become two objects.\n\n\"When Cassini came out of its ring plane orbit in early 2016, we went back to look where Peggy should be; and we found Peggy and we've been tracking it ever since.\n\n\"But a few degrees behind we could also see another object, even fainter in the sense that it had an even smaller (disturbance) signature. And when we tracked back the paths of both objects, we realised that in early 2015 they would have met.\n\n\"So, probably, Peggy 'B', as we call it, came from a collision of the sort that causes Peggy to change its orbit, but rather than a simple encounter that deflected the orbit slightly, this was more serious.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Linda Spilker: \"Cassini is one of the great space missions of all time\"\n\nProf Murray gave an update on Peggy at the recent Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union. At that same conference, Dr Linda Spilker, the Nasa project scientist on the Cassini mission, outlined the end-stage activities of the probe, culminating in its disposal on 15 September.\n\nShe said the same close-in manoeuvres that hopefully will enable Carl Murray to get his resolved pictures should also finally help to determine a key property of Saturn's rings - their mass.\n\n\"The mass of the rings is uncertain by 100%,\" Dr Spilker told BBC News.\n\n\"If they're more massive, maybe they're really old - as old as Saturn. If they're less massive, maybe they're really young, maybe only a mere 100 million years old.\"\n\nAge is important to this idea that rings, or discs, are the medium in which objects form. Some of Saturn's moons, even a number of its bigger ones, likely emerged by accumulating the material around them and displaying, certainly in the early phases of growth, the sorts of behaviours now seen in Peggy.\n\nBut making moons takes time and if the largest of Saturn's satellites came out of this same process, it demands the present ring system to be very old indeed.\n\nWant to hear more about Cassini and its discoveries at Saturn?

Not even remotely, says Jean-Pierre Dube, professor of marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.\n\nInstead, the cost of giving away free samples comes from a firm's marketing budget, which in turn comes from its overall earnings.\n\nLipton gave away free drinks at a number of breakfast events in London\n\nProf Dube says: \"Giving things away is definitely a form of marketing.\n\n\"[For example], when you buy a ski vacation that comes with 'free lessons', the lessons are of course not free.\n\n\"The price of the package was set with the lessons taken into account.\"\n\nHe adds: \"But what about literally giving things away? There is still no free.\n\n\"This is an investment the firm makes in anticipation of receiving the reward in the future. For example, [US cable TV firm] Comcast gave away free digital video recorders as a promotion a few years ago. This was just an investment in receiving the monthly cash flows from people's service subscriptions.\"\n\nIf you want to be handed a freebie on the street, it certainly helps to live in a country's capital or largest city.\n\nLipton said it wanted to create a \"clearly different brand experience\"\n\nThis is not simply because of the larger population, but because a country's main conurbation is more often the trendsetter for retail purchases.\n\nSo in the UK new products or new promotional campaigns are invariably launched in London, in the US it is New York, while in France it is Paris, and so on.\n\nThe hope is that the young and fashionable of the big city will try the item, like it, and then talk positively about it - preferably on social media in this day and age.\n\nIf all goes to plan this will kick start increased sales across the country as a whole.\n\nConsumer goods giant Unilever went for this approach last year when it sought to increase UK sales of its Lipton Ice Tea brand.\n\nLipton's Daybreakers campaign saw it give out free drinks at a number of breakfast events across London that included DJ sets and live music. Venues included Old Street in fashionable east London, and the Sky Garden venue at the top of the 34-floor 20 Fenchurch Street building, otherwise known as the \"walkie talkie\".\n\nA Lipton spokesman says: \"In order for people to look at Lipton Ice Tea in a new way, we needed to offer consumers a meaningful and relevant reason to try it.\n\nInnocent has targeted music festivals to give out free samples\n\n\"We therefore went down an early morning experimental road to cut through and create a clearly different brand experience.\"\n\nUK drinks firm Innocent is also in the habit of first giving out free samples in London, such as when it launched its coconut water product in 2015. This saw it hand out free samples at a pop-up bar in the trendy Shoreditch area.\n\nInnocent, which is majority owned by US giant Coca-Cola, has since gone on to offer free samples at UK music festivals Latitude and Wilderness, and at sporting events such as the Richmond marathon, in south west London. Last year it gave away more than 500,000 cartons.\n\nJames Peach, Innocent's coconut water brand manager, says: \"For [free] sampling to be effective it's important to be targeting the right type of consumer at the moment they would most likely want to use the product, so they get the most out of the experience, and understand the product's benefits.\n\n\"Generally people drink coconut water to naturally re-hydrate or rejuvenate themselves after exercise or after excess [if they are hungover]. So we simply try to target those occasions as much as we can, to be there when people need it most.\"\n\nWhile most consumers don't give freebies much thought, behavioural economist Enrico Trevisan says that from the perspective of the business there are three main types; \"future selling\", \"cross selling\" and \"up-selling\".\n\n\"In the future selling approach, firms give away a product for free, assuming that clients will like it and want to buy more in the future,\" he says.\n\nThe New York Times operates an up-selling free model\n\n\"With cross-selling, the company tries to gain new clients through an entrance product, with the intention of selling them additional products during their life cycle.\"\n\nMr Trevisan, who works for marketing consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners, says that an example of cross-selling is banks giving current accounts away for free in order to later sell the client loans, mortgages and overdrafts.\n\nFinally, he says that up-selling is when a firm gives away a basic version of the product, but then charges the client for more advanced and complete versions. He cites the examples of online news websites that only offer a limited number of free articles.\n\nHowever, Mr Trevisan cautions that while \"giving something for free to potential users is not necessarily complicated, to convert them into paying customers is a very different story\".", "A polar bear has fun after historic amounts of snow fell in Oregon this week, closing the state's zoo.", "Former England manager Graham Taylor has died at the age of 72.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nFootball is preparing to pay tribute to former England manager Graham Taylor at fixtures taking place this weekend.\n\nTaylor, who enjoyed success with Watford, Wolves, Aston Villa and Lincoln City, died aged 72 on Thursday.\n\nA minute's applause will be held before the weekend's English Football League matches.\n\nWatford, whom he managed for 15 years over two spells, will commemorate Taylor before their game against Middlesbrough on Saturday.\n• None Obituary: 'Perhaps now his work will get the credit it deserves'\n• None 'I love you Graham, I'll miss you very much' - Sir Elton John pays tribute\n• None Listen again to a 5 live special: Tributes to Graham Taylor\n\nThe EFL said it was also giving clubs the option of letting their players wear black armbands during this weekend's fixtures.\n\nThe Premier League will leave the decision of whether to pay tribute to individual clubs.

He looked at the towel around my waist and asked me to get a new one, as he did not like orange. He was a very charming and supportive ambassador for football. RIP.\n\nDave Revell: Met Graham Taylor at a charity day for Kit Aid. Had so much time for people and was always so nice. One of England's better managers.\n\nWill Room: I remember seeing a clip of Taylor in the dugout during a match, and some fans behind him shouting out racial abuse to John Barnes and he went hell for leather against them - didn't hold back telling the fans to sit down and shut up basically. Back then it was probably normal for fans to think they could get away with stuff like that but Graham Taylor was definitely a decent man and respected everyone who played for him. Top bloke.\n\nTaylor started out as a player and, after coming through the youth ranks with Scunthorpe, was a defender at Grimsby and Lincoln.\n\nHe became manager at Lincoln in 1972 aged 28, and led them to the old Fourth Division title in 1975-76 before joining Watford.\n\nIn his first spell as Hornets boss between 1977 and 1987, Taylor took the club to the top flight and they finished second to Liverpool in 1983.\n\nHe was appointed by Villa in 1987 and, after leading them to promotion into the top tier, took them to second in 1990.\n\nHis exploits led to his appointment as England manager, but he had a turbulent spell in charge of the national team as they failed to make it out of the group at Euro 92 and did not qualify for the World Cup in the United States two years later.\n\nTaylor's return to club management came with a relatively brief stint at Wolves before he again took over at Watford, leading them to two promotions in as many years as he guided them back into English football's top flight.\n\nHe also returned to manage Villa in 2002 but retired a year later.\n\nHis association with Watford continued when he became chairman in 2009, a post he held for three years, and the club renamed their Rous Stand at Vicarage Road after Taylor in 2014.\n\n\"In this day and age, when a stand is named after somebody, it's for commercial reasons. I felt honoured,\" he told BBC Three Counties Radio at the time.\n• Lincoln City (1972-77) - Youngest person to become an FA coach, at the age of 27. Won Fourth Division title in 1976.\n• Watford (1977-1987) - Led team from Fourth Division to First Division in five years (W244, D124, L159)\n• Aston Villa (1987-1990) - Took over when Villa had been relegated to Second Division. Took them back to top flight at his first attempt. Finished runners-up to Liverpool in his third season in charge (W65, D35, L42)\n• England (1990-1993) - Failed to progress beyond group stage of Euro 92 or qualify for World Cup in 1994 (W18, D13, L7)\n• Wolves (1994-1995) - Resigned after one full season in charge (W37, D27, L24)\n• Watford (1996-2001) - Won Division Two title in 1998 and Division One play-off final in 1999 (W104, D80, L91)", "The severe warnings in place along the east coast of England need to be taken seriously, the Environment Agency has warned.\n\nThe BBC spoke to Lisa Pinney from the Environment Agency, who has been assisting residents in Jaywick, Essex, affected by possible floods.", "If the stand-off between the Spanish state and the north-eastern region of Catalonia has been intense for the past five years, 2017 looks set to be explosive.\n\nCatalan leader Carles Puigdemont set the tone in a New Year message, saying a planned referendum would go ahead by September. That would defy the Spanish government's warning that any vote organised by Catalonia's regional authorities would be illegal.\n\n\"If 50% plus one vote 'yes', we will declare independence without hesitation,\" he said.\n\nTensions between supporters of independence and Spanish authorities are likely to rise when three senior Catalan ex-officials, including former president Artur Mas, go on trial accused of criminal disobedience for organising a wildcat poll in November 2014.\n\nSpain's conservative prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, says he is willing to negotiate possible alterations to the relationship between the national and Catalan administrations, but will not discuss changes to Spain's constitution.\n\nArtur Mas has spearheaded the Catalan campaign for independence\n\nSo Madrid says there will be no referendum. Barcelona insists there will be a vote and it will be binding.\n\n\"If we have 50% turnout and a majority in favour of independence, this will be legitimate. Then Madrid will have to ask itself if it is going to impose its laws by force, if the Catalan people choose their future peacefully and democratically,\" says Joan Maria Pique, the Catalan government's director of international communications.\n\nThe image of tanks rolling north across the Ebro river belongs to Spain's tragic civil war of the 1930s. But how would Madrid react if Catalonia made a unilateral declaration of independence?\n\nWhen Spain's defence minister until last November, Pedro Morenes, was asked what the army would do in such a scenario, he avoided giving a direct answer: \"If everyone does what they are legally bound to do, that situation will not be necessary.\"\n\nLike other regions in Spain, Catalonia already has the power to run its educational and healthcare systems, as well as limited freedoms in the area of taxation. But Spanish constitutional experts offer little encouragement to supporters of independence for Catalonia.\n\n\"If the Catalan government does not negotiate the calling of a referendum with the state, it is not legally possible, because this power is held by the central state,\" explains Javier Garcia Roca, professor of constitutional law at Madrid's Complutense University.\n\nSpain's constitutional court agrees. It outlawed the unofficial vote held in November 2014, and that ruling led to former Catalan President Mas and two of his ministers facing trial this year. If found guilty, Mr Mas could be barred from public office for a decade.\n\nSurveys suggest a referendum vote on secession would be close\n\nMany Catalan towns and villages have gone ahead and declared independence in a symbolic but defiant fashion.\n\nA picturesque Costa Brava fishing village, El Port de la Selva, declared itself \"morally excluded\" from Spain's constitutional order in July 2010. Earlier Spain's top court had ruled that large chunks of the Catalan autonomy statute, approved by both the Spanish and Catalan parliaments, were unconstitutional.\n\nThe number of rebel municipalities has gone on growing.\n\nOne estimate from a pro-sovereignty association suggests 787 of the region's 947 town and city halls have declared support for \"decoupling from the Spanish state\".\n\nSeveral local politicians and hundreds of councils are being investigated for offences deriving from symbolic disobedience of Spanish laws.\n\nThe constitutional court has also quashed several attempts by the Catalan parliament to vote into existence \"instruments of state\" for a future independent country, including a tax agency and a social security department that would form the basis of a new welfare system.\n\nIt has also annulled laws against fracking, gender inequality and banks which keep empty homes on their books. In 2010 the court sparked outrage by removing the preferential status of the Catalan language and quashing another dozen articles.\n\nCatalan spokesman Joan Maria Pique accuses the Spanish government of \"exercising juridical violence by violating the independence of the courts\".\n\n\"The constitution lays down the principle of unity of the state and nation, which are described as 'indivisible',\" argues Prof Garcia Roca. \"It is a rigid document and the possibilities for imagination and constitutional engineering are therefore not the same for Catalonia as for Scotland.\"\n\nSolar panels at a Barcelona cemetery: It is one of the most developed regions in Spain\n\nAnd yet much of Catalonia believes that it has already triggered what pro-independence circles describe as \"decoupling\" from the Spanish state, backed by a majority of the Catalan parliament and the region's local councils.\n\nA recent poll published by Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico, not seen as backing independence, suggested that 85% of Catalans wanted a referendum, which all surveys predict would be extremely tight.\n\nSo while the Madrid government insists any vote will have no validity, the game of political chicken goes on.\n\nCourt orders have been served on councillors in Catalonia who refuse to acknowledge Spanish national holidays, remove flags or bow to other constitutional requirements, or who burn images of Spain's King Felipe.\n\nMeanwhile, the tension continues to rise.

What might more Cook mean for the England side? And what happens if it goes wrong?\n\nHow did we get here?\n\nThrough a combination of Cook's words and demeanour on a thoroughly miserable winter tour of India.\n\nEven before the start he admitted he was looking forward to not being captain, going on say he had \"questions\" over his future and he needed time to think about his position.\n\nThat Cook may be tired of the rigours of captaincy is no surprise, he is over four years into a job that no-one has managed to do for more than five since 1961.\n\nAnd, during a gruelling schedule of seven back-to-back Tests in Bangladesh and India, he cut an increasingly gloomy figure, especially after England lost the final two matches by an innings despite posting first-innings totals in excess of 400.\n\n\"When you have presided over something so cataclysmic in sporting terms as that, then it is only natural that Cook may be thinking differently about his future as captain,\" said BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew after England lost the fifth Test in Chennai.\n\nAll of this suggested Cook would call time on his tenure in his regular post-series review with England director of cricket Andrew Strauss, his good friend and former opening partner.\n\nThat meeting takes place on Friday, but we now know Cook's future will not be decided.\n\nTime may just heal all wounds.\n\nCook has been close to quitting before, only to be talked out of jumping ship by his wife Alice. It could be that a Christmas at home and discussions with his closest confidant have pushed the 32-year-old in the direction of staying.\n\n\"They really are a team,\" said Agnew of Cook and his wife. \"The time he is taking means that Cook is making the right decision for him. He will be incredibly comfortable with what lies ahead.\"\n\nThe opener, England's record Test runscorer, is approaching this decision very much in the way he constructs an innings. Patiently, meticulously, playing a shot only when absolutely certain.\n\nThere was no throwing in the towel after the chaotic fifth Test loss or rushing into a meeting with Strauss at the earliest opportunity. Even now he has indicated he would like more time.\n\nAll of that suits the England management, who feel there is no rush for an answer on the captaincy with the next Test not until July.\n\nEngland coach Trevor Bayliss said last month he would be \"disappointed\" if Cook did not remain as skipper.\n\nIt may be the longer he waits to give an answer, the more likely Cook is to stay on.\n\nWhy might he stay?\n\nCook has been on the brink before, most notably the summer of 2014. Whereas then he was pushed to the edge by a combination of patchy form and poor results, here he has voluntarily walked to the precipice.\n\nBack then, Cook repeatedly reiterated he would not quit and that it would be for someone else to take the job away from him - that sense of duty may not yet have been eroded away.\n\n\"He's stubborn and mentally very tough,\" said former England captain Michael Vaughan. \"He's been through this sort of spell two or three times in his captaincy and carried on.\"\n\nHe also retains, publically at least, the support of the England management and staff. Not only has Bayliss spoken out in support of the skipper, but so too have assistant coach Paul Farbrace, all-rounder Ben Stokes, wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow and opener Haseeb Hameed.\n\nMore importantly, there is a huge, Ashes-shaped temptation on the horizon.\n\nCook, so bruised by the 5-0 whitewash he presided over in 2013-14, may not be able to resist the chance for revenge on an Australia side England should be mildly optimistic about facing.\n\nWould staying on be a good idea?\n\nThere is a school of thought that a captain is halfway out of the door the moment he considers quitting. Vaughan says even 1% of doubt is enough for a skipper to stand aside.\n\nCook, having come close to resigning before, flies in the face of this theory.\n\nThat doesn't necessarily mean he would be right to remain, especially when he has just overseen eight defeats in 2016, the joint-highest for England in a calendar year.\n\nThe main case for Cook staying in charge centres around continuity at the beginning of an Ashes year, and that a near seven-month break from Test cricket should provide a refreshed outlook on the job.\n\nThere is also a paucity of options to replace Cook, with some feeling captain-in-waiting Joe Root, England's best batsman, should not yet be burdened with the responsibility of captaincy.\n\n\"Root is the outstanding candidate, but you wouldn't want it to be a case of making your best player captain, only for it to backfire on you later,\" said former England off-spinner Graeme Swann.\n\n\"I'm still not convinced Root is the right man for the job. I want him to concentrate on being the best player we have ever had, rather than having his talent curbed by the pressures of captaincy.\n\n\"He has tried to be more sensible later, but part of his cheeky chappy persona makes him the player he is, and I don't want to see that taken away.\"\n\nWhat could go wrong?\n\nIf Cook does remain, England will want him to commit to leading them down under, rather than dropping an inexperienced new captain into the job for the toughest and most high-profile of tours.\n\nFor that to happen, both his own form and the results of the England team must be solid throughout the home summer to prevent the issue of the captaincy rearing its head once again.\n\nIt is not difficult to imagine a scenario where England start badly in the series against South Africa, Cook struggles for runs, and pressure is heaped upon the captain. After all, the past three visits by the Proteas have resulted in an England skipper resigning.\n\n\"If we are to have a new captain, he needs all seven home Tests this summer to get his feet under the table,\" said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott.\n\n\"We don't want Alastair giving it up after three or four Tests, before the biggest series of all.\n\n\"If it is going to be Root - which it will be - he needs seven Test matches to put his stamp on it. Players need to get with his style.\"\n\nWhat happens next?\n\nIn recent times, the England and Wales Cricket Board hasn't always been airtight. Information has leaked like a broken tap.\n\nThis, though, is likely to be different. Cook is a fiercely private man. Few other than his wife and Strauss may really know what his intention is.\n\nWhatever his decision, the story does not end there. If he stays, he will be under the microscope. If he goes, the heat shifts to Root.\n\nThe consequences will not fully be revealed until 8 January 2018, the Sydney Cricket Ground and the end of the Ashes.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSam Allardyce has made versatile Leicester player Jeffrey Schlupp his first signing as Crystal Palace boss.\n\nThe 24-year-old moves south for a reported £12m, and has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.\n\nThe Ghana international made 24 Premier League appearances in 2015-16 as the Foxes won their first title.\n\nBut he has started only one league game this season and has not featured at all since the 5-0 Champions League defeat at Porto on 7 December.\n\nSchlupp, who can play in defence, midfield or attack, was left out of Ghana's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.\n\nHe began his career at Leicester - making 150 appearances for the club, scoring 15 goals - and had a loan spell at Brentford during 2010-11.\n\nWest Brom boss Tony Pulis had been interested in Schlupp, who joins a Palace side 17th in the Premier League.\n\nThe Eagles, one point above the relegation zone, visit West Ham on Saturday, a game Schlupp is available for.\n\nAllardyce said: \"He will bring strength and experience to the defence and will be a major asset for the club.\"\n\nSunderland manager David Moyes had earlier confirmed the club had rejected a bid from Palace for Netherlands defender Patrick van Aanholt.", "Last updated on .From the section Snooker\n\nReigning Masters champion Ronnie O'Sullivan says entertaining fans is more important than titles and he wants to be the Lionel Messi of snooker.\n\nWorld number 13 O'Sullivan begins his quest for a record-breaking seventh Masters crown against China's Liang Wenbo in the first round on Sunday.\n\nBut the 41-year-old told BBC Sport: \"I want to try to win playing an exciting, aggressive and attacking game.\n\n\"It is OK to win, but I want to win with style.\"\n\nO'Sullivan said he wanted fans to be able to say he doesn't just win, but he \"delivers entertainment as well\".\n\n\"I think I have done that over the over the last five or six years,\" he added.\n\n\"I have put on some magnificent performances - performances I am very proud of.\n\n\"Sometimes people say you can't play like that and win.

For many economists that represents \"full employment\".\n\nBut the chart doesn't tell us WHY the job market bottomed out and started its long expansion.\n\nFor an explanation of that you might start with one word: Detroit\n\nDetroit, or rather the US car industry with which the city is synonymous, was seemingly in its death throes in January 2009.\n\nThe recession and financial crisis had hit General Motors, Chrysler and Ford particularly hard.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. US \"car tsar\" Steve Rattner discusses President Obama's economic legacy with the BBC's Michelle Fleury\n\nAlready heavily indebted, by the turn of the Obama administration it looked like they would simply run out of cash and cease operations within weeks.\n\nPresident Obama's decision to bail out General Motors and Chrysler with bridging loans and managed bankruptcies (Ford managed to turn itself around without government money) was deeply controversial.\n\nBut look again at the chart.\n\nIf the auto industry had in fact collapsed, we would probably need to spread something like a million more job losses across those bars for 2009-10.\n\nBeyond the number of jobs directly or indirectly lost, it's hard to calculate the ultimate economic effects of a disintegration of the US auto industry.\n\nBut it seems safe to say that America would look very different indeed without the auto bailout.\n\nThere was also Mr Obama's stimulus package - or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to give it its official name.\n\nThis was a package of government spending which Congress passed, at the new president's behest, within weeks of his taking office.\n\nThere have been 75 consecutive months of job growth in the US\n\nIt too met fierce criticism and its impact has long been disputed.\n\nStill, more than one analysis has estimated that through 2010 it created or saved more than 2 million jobs.\n\nTaking those away would also dramatically alter the non-farm payrolls chart.\n\nAt least it would for the beginning of Mr Obama's presidency.\n\nBut after the first two years of his administration the politics of job creation, like everything else, changed.\n\nThe Republican Party's capture of the House of Representatives in November 2010 deprived the president of most of his influence on the writing of new laws.\n\nHe lost his grasp of one of the main levers of economic control and never regained it.\n\nThe Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives in November 2010\n\nThat means that so much of the long period of job growth, from 2011 to the present, has unfolded with little input from the White House.\n\nOf course the president always has large powers, whoever controls Congress, but they tend to be in the administration of business regulations and in trade relations.\n\nAttributing the creation of jobs to those functions of government is even more speculative than attributing them to new laws.\n\nStill, if presidents cannot write laws, their veto power means laws can hardly ever be passed without them.\n\nIt is a feature of the notorious political \"gridlock\" that has characterised much of the Obama era.\n\nThe president and the Republican Congress have been in a perpetual stand-off over so many issues at the heart of the economy.\n\nThe result is that many economic problems have gone unaddressed.\n\nYet it also means that politicians, and their insistence on change and reform, have been kept on the sidelines, leaving the economy to develop without them.\n\nIn the absence of major external shocks, perhaps the consistent job growth the US has enjoyed for more than six years should be attributed, not to the name and the politics of the president but to things more fundamental to the US and its brand of capitalism.\n\nIt seems appropriate that after the steep steps down, then up, in the first 18 months of the non-farm payrolls bar chart, what the Obama presidency looks like is then a consistent series of bars, representing steady if undramatic job growth, month after month after month.", "Daughters were traditionally valued less than sons in South Korea\n\nFor every 100 baby girls born in India, there are 111 baby boys. In China, the ratio is 100 to 115. One other country saw similar rates in 1990, but has since brought its population back into balance. How did South Korea do it? Yvette Tan reports.\n\n\"One daughter is equal to 10 sons,\" was the message desperately being promoted by the South Korean government.\n\nIt was some two decades ago and gender imbalance was at a high, reaching 116.5 boys for every 100 girls at its peak. The preference for sons goes back centuries in Korean tradition. They were seen to carry on the family line, provide financial support and take care of their parents in old age.\n\n\"There was the idea that daughters were not regarded as part of their own family after marriage,\" says Ms Park-Cha Okkyung, the executive director of the Korean Women's Associations United.\n\nThe government was looking for a solution - and fast.\n\nIn an effort to reduce the incidence of selective abortions, South Korea enacted a law in 1988 making it illegal for a doctor to reveal the gender of a foetus to expectant parents.\n\nAt the same time women were also becoming more educated, with many more starting to join the workforce, challenging the convention that it was the job of a man to provide for his family.\n\nIt worked, but it was not for one reason alone. Rather, a combination of these factors led to the eventual gender rebalancing.\n\nSouth Korea was acknowledged as the \"first Asian country to reverse the trend in rising sex ratios at birth\", in a report by the World Bank.\n\nIn 2013, the ratio was down to 105.3, a number comparable to major Western nations such as Canada.\n\nMonica Das Gupta, research professor in sociology at the University of Maryland who has studied gender disparity across Asia, says factors other than legislation are likely to be the most significant in accounting for this change.\n\nA legal ban can \"dampen things a bit\", but she points out that \"seven years after the law [was instituted] sex-selective abortions continued\".\n\nRather she attributes the change to the \"blistering pace\" of urbanisation and industrialisation in South Korea.\n\nWhile the country was predominantly a rural society there was great emphasis on male lineage and boys staying at home to inherit their fathers' land.\n\nBut in just a few decades a large part of the population has moved to living in apartment blocks with people they don't know and working in factories with people they don't know, and the system has become much more impersonal, Dr Das Gupta says.\n\nChina and India, though, still have a stark gender imbalance, despite India outlawing, and China regulating against, sex-selective testing and abortions. So why is that?\n\nDr Das Gupta believes that in China this may be because until last year, the rule that your household registration - known as the hukou system - remained in the village where you were from, regardless of the fact that you might work in the city, meant that there was still an emphasis on male lineage and land ownership, but that this should now start to shift.\n\nBut she also stressed that the change is not always linear. As people gain economic advantage they have better access to sex-selective testing and have fewer children, which actually then puts greater emphasis on their gender.\n\nIn India in 1961, there were 976 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven. According to the latest census figures released in 2011, that figure had dropped to a dismal 914 and campaigners say the decline is largely due to the increased availability of antenatal sex screening, despite the fact that both the tests and sex-selective abortion have been outlawed since 1994. They say that in the past decade alone, 8 million female foetuses may have been aborted in the country.\n\nBut she argues that several factors in India are slowly having a trickle-down effect on attitudes to women including media representation of women functioning in the outside world, and legislative changes enforcing equal inheritance rules and requiring one-third of elected positions be reserved for women.\n\nBBC 100 Women names 100 influential and inspirational women around the world every year.

However, the problem starts when women enter into the labour market,\" Ms Okkyung explains.\n\nWomen are still expected to manage both work and family in South Korea\n\n\"The glass ceiling is very solid and there is a low percentage of women at higher positions in offices.\"\n\nOne of the reasons it is harder for women to compete in the workplace is because they are expected to devote their time to both work and family.\n\n\"One example is that working mothers have a dilemma, as children in elementary schools come home early after lunch. Therefore, mothers who cannot see a sustainable future in the workplace tend to quit their jobs,\" says Ms Okkyung.\n\nDr Hyekung Lee was one of the few Korean women in her generation that did find workplace success.\n\n\"I have been very lucky that I was brought up in a very enlightened family. My family had three girls and two boys, and all were given the same support for education,\" says 68-year-old Dr Lee, who is the chairperson of the Korea Foundation for Women, the country's only non-profit organisation for women.\n\n\"But when I became a full-time faculty member in my university, I had to be the only woman professor in my department throughout my 30 years there.\"\n\nGenerally, attitudes towards women have improved as today's Korean men become more educated and exposed to global norms.\n\nThey also inevitably mix with women across all spheres of life, in workplaces, schools or social circles, something that perhaps was not so common decades ago.\n\nHaving children makes it hard for women to compete in the workplace, partly because of school hours for younger children\n\nIt is amongst the older generation that many still cling on to the preference for sons.\n\nEmily [not her real name], 26, recalls that growing up as an only child, she was always treated equally by her grandparents - until her step-brothers were born.\n\n\"I only noticed the difference when my brothers came,\" she said. \"Then I realised that they would never do stuff like the housework.\"\n\n\"My birthday is also one day before my father's so my grandparents didn't allow me to celebrate it because as they said: 'How dare a girl celebrate a birthday before her father?'\"\n\nHow long will South Korea's women take to catch up?\n\n\"I think Korea is at that transitional phase that people are more aware now than previous generations, but it's still not quite equal compared to Western countries,\" she says.\n\n\"I've had friends tell me I can only keep my career if I stay single, and others tell me I've chased away men because I was too bossy on the dates and took the initiative.\"\n\nShe also notes that there is also a substantial difference in attitudes towards women in bigger cities and smaller towns.\n\n\"Cities like Busan are more traditional. I've had friends from Busan get a culture shock when they come to Seoul,\" she says. \"In the capital, things are more progressive.\"\n\nYet she believes change will come.\n\n\"Women in Korea need to be aware that there is gender discrimination,\" says Emily, who is now studying in the Netherlands. \"I didn't know until I left - I thought the way things were was just how they were.\"\n\n\"It's not until you expose yourself to other cultures that you start to question your own.

While this December's glorious winter sunshine certainly showed off the Alps in all their splendour, many tourists arrive expecting to be able to ski.\n\nChristoph Marty, a snow climatologist with the institute, understands why hoteliers have been gazing anxiously at the sky. \"It definitely affects business,\" he says. A post-Christmas survey of ski resorts and lift operators by Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger showed that 56% of them expected to make losses in December.\n\nThere has been little snow for the snow-grooming machines to work with\n\nThe last three years have been a \"row of Decembers without snow\", says Mr Marty. While it may be too early to confirm a pattern, even the possibility that snow will not fall until after the festive season is a concern.\n\nSo most resorts across the Alps are turning to artificial snow. Snow cannons have been used for many years to patch up vulnerable sections of a slope, but in the last decade their use has increased dramatically.\n\nFifty percent of Swiss slopes can now be snowed artificially. In neighbouring Austria the figure is 70%. It is, as Christoph Marty points out, an expensive business.\n\n\"We need a lot of water for artificial snow, and there is a lot of consumption of power,\" he says. \"This is one reason why lift tickets are not cheap.\"\n\nSwitzerland's ski resorts have realised they cannot just rely on snow cannons\n\nEnvironmentalists have been watching the increased use of artificial snow with concern.\n\nSwiss group Pro Natura says the creation of reservoirs, simply to provide water for snow cannons, is damaging to the mountain landscape, while the energy required to power all the cannons over a season would be enough to fuel a small town.\n\nThere is one big challenge to the nightly army of snow cannons: they cannot be used unless the temperature is below freezing.\n\nThat means resorts, even if no natural snow falls, must have cold weather in November to get their slopes ready for Christmas.\n\nFor the lower resorts, and the cross-country ski runs in the valleys, this is problematic, and so some have turned to a new method: snow farming.\n\nThis involves creating tonnes of snow during the coldest months of January and February. Snow cannons are parked next to rivers in the valleys, water is pumped out of them and turned into vast mounds of snow, which is then buried in sawdust and stored, over the summer, until it is needed the following season.\n\nMounds of \"farmed snow\" have appeared beside some of the Swiss ski slopes\n\n\"Up to 30% of it melts,\" says Christoph Marty. Nevertheless, more and more resorts, determined to guarantee snow in December, are turning to farming.\n\nIt has, this season, made for some odd pictures: ribbons of snow on the ski slopes winding their way down through green fields.\n\nThe sport of skiing developed, of course, out of the natural winter conditions in the mountains.\n\nBut that was before winter package holidays: the first skiers, over a century ago, did not expect guaranteed snow from November to April.\n\nToday the winter sports business is worth billions, and many mountain communities depend on it. Creating the right conditions for skiing is no longer a matter for the weather gods, it is a high-tech industry.\n\nFor anyone who still believes the snow beneath their skis simply fell from the skies, the truth is far more complicated than that.\n\nThe scenery in the Swiss Alps may be stunning this winter, but the valleys are hoping for far more snow", "It is as if the campaign is still going on.\n\nTwo weeks away from his inauguration, Donald Trump seems to prefer the role of \"candidate\" - flaying his opponents and aiming arrows at the federal government from the enemy camp.\n\nIt is almost as if he does not want to accept fully that he is the new chief executive who will be dealing with official Washington from the moment he drives back from the Capitol as the president on 20 January.\n\nAnd his weapon of choice, forged for him like a legendary warrior's sword in the furnace of the new technology, is Twitter.\n\nNo president-elect has battled like this.\n\nMost of them go to ground, secluded with the staff who will take over the West Wing, and make their plans.

I could feel the charger about my person but it took me a while to locate the pocket it was in. Helpfully, each garment comes with a small fabric map setting out the location of all the pockets.\n\nThe idea was born in the year 2000 when chief executive Scott Jordan almost damaged his ears in an airport after getting a headphone cable tangled on a doorknob, Mr Lappala told me.\n\nIt was inspired by the traditional fisherman's vest.\n\nThe laptop pocket is on the back of the coat, making it feel like a backpack\n\nScotte Vest claims to have sold more than 10 million garments so far, ranging from trench coats to shorts, all with varying tallies of pockets.\n\nIt is great for travellers, said Mr Lappala. And drone pilots.\n\nThe firm even has a rival in the form of the J25 made by AyeGear - although as its name suggests, that one has a mere 25 storage areas.\n\nI can't believe I've come to Las Vegas to write about pockets.\n\nRead all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017", "Set in an animated Manila, 'Saving Sally' has been billed as a teenage love story\n\nIt's a tale of unrequited teenage love terrorised by giant animated monsters in the chaotic streets of Metro Manila.\n\nSaving Sally tells the story of Marty, a young aspiring Philippines comic book artist, played by Enzo Marcos.\n\nHe falls in love with his best friend Sally, a gadget inventor - portrayed by Filipina actress Rhian Ramos - who is also the centre of Marty's universe.\n\nThe story quickly unfolds with stunning cartoons which tell the story of Marty's lonely world.\n\nLike every love story, there are numerous complications and challenges for the hero.\n\nNamely defending the love of his life from a beastly rival and her difficult parents, who take the form of monsters because to Marty, that is simply what they are.\n\n\"Sadly, Marty also has the innate ability to do nothing about everything despite his vivid fantasies of defending Sally from the big bad world,\" described the film's director Avid Liongoren.\n\nMarty often dreams of defending Sally from the evils of her world\n\nWhile it has been described as a \"typical teen movie about love, monsters and gadgets\", the film also touches on serious issues prevalent in Philippine society.\n\n\"On the surface, it's a fun and straightforward love story, with good laughs and visual gags that reference Filipino as well as Western pop culture,\" said screenwriter Charlene Sawit-Esguerra , who wrote and conceptualised the film.\n\n\"But it also touches on darker themes like physical abuse and escapism.\"\n\nSaving Sally's darker themes are mixed in with the teenage love story\n\nAfter an arduous 10-year journey and a series of setbacks, the team's efforts paid off. Saving Sally gained an entry into the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).\n\nThe annual festival serves as an outlet to better promote local talent in the Pinoy film industry. But the MMFF sadly still could not save Sally.\n\nThe humble film was not widely shown in local cinemas.\n\nThe Philippine skyline takes centre stage in this film, which features stunning artwork\n\nIts creators said the answer could lie in the nature of the domestic cinema industry.\n\nLargely unregulated, Philippine cinemas have built a notorious reputation for favouring commercial successes movies like Hollywood blockbusters and \"manufactured\" romance dramas.\n\n\"They pick the films that they think people will watch. So it is more of a perception that since ours is a small, non-studio film, no-one would want to watch it,\" explained Mr Liongoren.\n\nMs Sawit-Esguerra said \"demand\" was often a deciding factor before a film could be considered for screening.\n\n\"Theatre owners here think that local audiences will only watch films starring big-names and A-list stars, produced by major studios. Saving Sally has neither,\" she said.\n\n\"Because of this, many cinemas don't want to take the risk and would rather see how audiences responds to our movie first.\"\n\nSaving Sally earned a festival entry but was not widely screened in cinemas\n\nTo film critic Oggs Cruz, another problem with the film lay in its animation, the very thing that its makers fought so hard to create.\n\n\"While most Filipinos enjoy animated films, the animated aspect in Saving Sally doesn't favour its commercial ability,\" he told BBC News.\n\n\"It is an adjunct of the main characters and I don't think it has any effect in its marketability. Sadly it won't entice children or adults.\"\n\n\"A lot of Filipinos are proud of their heritage but ironically, they would rather watch the latest Star Wars movie than support local film festival entries.\n\n\"It's a losing situation for the film makers whose work will get pulled out for more commercially viable movies that will earn more money.\"\n\nThe show's creators turned to the power of social media and launched an online campaign to save Sally, calling on audiences to contact theatre owners demanding they screen the film.\n\n\"Let your voices be heard. Please help us make noise and reach out,\" read a Facebook post on the movie's official page which drew close to 50,000 reactions and was shared more than 10,000 times.\n\nThousands of curious Facebook users and fans began to show their support for the film by leaving comments and writing posts using the hashtags #ShowSavingSally and #ImSavingSally.\n\n\"It was worth the wait and our money. Great storytelling and amazing animation - good job,\" gushed Dicay Galvez from Makati city who shared his joy in finally being able to catch the film.\n\n\"I cannot imagine the love and passion that went into this film, it may be a typical love story but the entirety of the movie itself is a work of art,\" wrote Ace Antipolo in an Instagram post.\n\n\"Big movie companies in the Philippines just don't put this kind of effort anymore but the efforts of a small group of people who worked for 10 years just to complete this beautiful masterpiece will be cherished forever.\"\n\n\"I guess business is business but I just don't understand why some cinemas saved spots for other movies over Saving Sally. Please show it in Bacolod,\" said Fraire Acupan.\n\nGiven its animation-meets-real life component which plays out heavily, and its slacker hero, Saving Sally has drawn comparisons with popular 2010 geek sleeper hit Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.\n\nBut will Sally see a similar indie cult following to that which Scott Pilgrim enjoyed?\n\nIts makers said the public response \"has been incredible\" and fan demand played a crucial role in boosting the film.\n\nSaving Sally was shown on around 50 screens to begin with, but was expected to close at 86 screens.\n\n\"Theatres have relented to the barrage of messages from Filipino youngsters wanting to see our film,\" said Mr Liongoren.\n\nMs Sawit-Esguerra said: \"Saving Sally surpassed what it was expected to earn, according to Industry experts. It also made it to the top four of the festival films based on how it did at the Philippine box office.\"\n\nShe also added that they have received offers for a North American release but that has not yet been finalised.\n\n\"We've also been invited to film festivals in Portugal, Spain and Belgium,\" she said.", "Mohamed Maouche says he and his wife, Khadidja, were the first ambassadors of the revolution\n\nOne day in late 1958, at the height of the Algerian war of independence, an Algerian couple in their early twenties hopped into a fast car, put on some music and set off on honeymoon from the French capital Paris.\n\nMohamed and Khadidja Maouche spent the next 48 hours on a whirlwind tour. In a MG convertible - painted British racing green - they drove west to Le Havre, then south to Rennes and Bordeaux, east to Nimes, before heading back up north to Troyes and Reims.\n\nMohamed was a footballer and had a letter from his club, Stade de Reims, stating that he was authorised to be on leave so that he could celebrate his marriage.\n\nMohamed and Khadidja were newlyweds - but their honeymoon was an elaborate disguise.\n\nKhadidja secretly recruited Algerian players in France for the liberation movement\n\nIn fact, they were on a covert operation for the independence movement Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN), which four years earlier had started a fight against French rule in Algeria.\n\nTheir secret mission was to persuade Algerian-born footballers to secretly abandon their top-flight French clubs to play for a team set up by FLN.\n\nKhadidja's role was pivotal. She worked with a collective of Paris-based Algerian lawyers who defended FLN activists and at 20 years old, was the FLN's youngest liaison officer in France.\n\n\"I was in charge of contacting the players, either before or during the games,\" Khadidja says.\n\n\"No-one knew I was married to Maouche. They would just be told a FLN activist wanted to speak to them. I would talk to them individually to say: \"It's an order, that's it,\" and they all agreed.\"\n\nThe Algerian couple toured France in this MG convertible as they recruited players for the FLN\n\nMohamed and Khadidja's enterprise was risky. Both had already served time in prison and were under surveillance by the French intelligence services. Khadidja was also on the target list of La Main Rouge, a shadowy group sponsored by the French state to eliminate FLN members and supporters.\n\nBut Mohamed remembers those days of danger and the \"crazy\" story of the car with affection.\n\n\"We had to be sure of ourselves. If you weren't sure of yourself there was no point in going on such missions because, in the worst case scenario, this could cost you dearly. So we were very relaxed.\"\n\nThey drove for 48 hours, practically non-stop, and music was a constant companion.\n\nMohammed Maouche left French club Stade de Reims and joined the FLN team in 1960\n\n\"I loved music so much because it was also a good way to pass the time,\" Mohamed says.\n\n\"There was this one song we used to play. It was by Richard Anthony and it was about a little MG. It was extraordinary. With hair flying in the wind in the open-top car. Oh, we were so young,\" he giggles.\n\nAfter recruiting the players, Khadidja and Mohamed instructed them to slip over the border to Switzerland.\n\nKhadidja was told by the FLN man in charge in Geneva to go to a supermarket called Mi-Gros to collect forged travel documents. As she shopped, she was approached and greeted by a man.\n\n\"He kissed me and while he was kissing me he said \"open your bag!\"\n\nIn went 15 passports, which allowed Khadidja, Mohamed and the footballers to go to Italy and catch a ferry to Tunisia - where the FLN was based.\n\nThere, they joined nine other footballers - three of whom were part of the French 1958 World Cup squad and whose defection earlier in the year struck a real blow to the French establishment.\n\nThe FLN team was ready to kick off and over the next four years until independence in 1962, the players went on tours to countries including Iraq, Vietnam and Hungary to highlight the Algerian struggle for independence. They played attacking, entertaining and winning football before huge crowds of up to 80,000.\n\n\"We were the first ambassadors of the revolution and the Algerian people,\" Mohamed believes.\n\n\"Because most people did not know that there was a real war in Algeria. We spoke to people after the match and the next day there were interviews and that's how they discovered Algeria. We were true ambassadors.\"\n\nLe onze de l'independence, as the FLN team was also known, proved to be a powerful way of winning hearts and minds. Seeing a team of eleven in white shorts and green shirts on the football pitch made an imagined Algeria real.\n\nMohamed Maouche finally joined the FLN team in 1960 and recalls his first match against Libya, which they won 11-0.\n\n\"It was really extraordinary because we lined up and the flags go up… and when I saw our flag, the national emblem in the air… with its star and crescent, my heart was racing and I had goosebumps and we all said 'Vive l'Algerie'.\"", "Reading goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi makes a horrible mistake to gift Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford a second goal during the Red Devils' 4-0 FA Cup third-round win at Old Trafford.\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nJunior football clubs in England face suspension from the Football Association if their coaches have not been cleared to work with children.\n\nThe warning, in a letter to clubs from the FA, follows allegations of historical child abuse in the sport.\n\nIt is FA policy that all coaches of youth teams must have an FA accepted in-date criminal records check (CRC).\n\nThe FA says while 99.7% of clubs have been compliant, there are more than 2,500 coaches without an in-date CRC.\n\nThere are also nearly 5,000 youth teams without a named coach.\n\nFA chairman Greg Clarke has written to clubs demanding they update their information on the FA's Whole Game System (WGS) by midnight on 15 January.\n\nFailure to do so will mean \"clubs will face suspension from all football activity without further notice\", the FA says.\n\nFurthermore, a club's affiliation will be removed as of midnight on 28 February if they remain non-compliant with the requirement that their coaches having an in-date CRC.\n\nThe letter warns clubs that if they \"have a coach who is not compliant with this, you must not allow them to coach, train, supervise or assist at matches with any youth teams, until this requirement is met\".\n\nIt continues: \"This is an essential aspect of any club's responsibilities when working with U18s and, as a club, you are responsible for ensuring that no-one coaches, or has unsupervised access to children, until they have an FA accepted check.\"\n\nThe spotlight has fallen on abuse in football since a number of former footballers came forward publicly to tell their stories.\n\nPolice said in December there are 429 potential victims linked to football, some as young as four at the time of the alleged offence, and 148 clubs are now involved, with 155 potential suspects identified.", "Travellers have been stranded at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida after a gunman opened fire earlier on Friday, killing five people.\n\nThe suspect has been identified by police as 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, an Iraq war veteran.\n\nSome airport passengers described what they saw and heard.", "Last updated on .From the section Winter Sports\n\nSnowboarder Katie Ormerod has become the first Briton to win a World Cup big air.\n\nThe 19-year-old pipped Austria's Anna Gasser to claim her maiden victory in extreme -29C temperatures in Moscow.\n\nBig air will make its Winter Olympics debut in PyeongChang in South Korea in February 2018.\n\nOrmerod scored 153.75 as the judges counted the two best runs out of three with Gasser, the World Cup leader, notching up 153.50.\n\nThe Yorkshire teenager said: \"It was by far the coldest and some of the toughest conditions I've ever had to compete in but an amazing place.

Amazon's Alexa has popped up in a bewildering list of devices including fridges, cars and robots.\n\nManufacturers are clearly interested in making their appliances voice-operable, and many see Alexa as a great way to do this.\n\nBut having Alexa also allows the appliances to gain capabilities, such as streaming music and turning smart lights on and off.\n\nHow did Alexa come out on top and how will it benefit Amazon?\n\nThe firm was quick to notice the potential of voice control following the rise of smartphone apps that could interact with appliances, answers tech analyst Dinesh Kithany at IHS Technology.\n\n\"Alexa's rivals haven't been promoted quite as well,\" he told the BBC, though he noted companies adopting the assistant must think of genuinely useful ways to integrate it into their products.\n\nManufacturers are able to design new \"skills\" for the assistant - meaning the AI is not limited to what Amazon has built in.\n\nAlexa can, with a quick bit of programming, be adapted to lock car doors or tell you when your washing machine's cycle will finish.\n\nPerhaps this is how Amazon has cornered so much of the market - by explicitly designing a flexible AI that allows companies to implement it as they see fit.\n\nOver the last seven years, the world has witnessed the rapid proliferation of Google's Android operating system - now in more smartphones than any other OS by far, as well as many TVs, watches and computers.\n\nPart of this meteoric rise is down to the fact that Google gives Android away for free to device manufacturers - just like Amazon is doing with Alexa.\n\nDespite the search giant having a long history of voice recognition research, it has only just started promoting its own Google Assistant to third parties. That gives Amazon first-mover advantage.\n\nWho would have thought an online retailer would be leading the virtual assistant revolution?\n\nWhile a glance around CES's show floors suggests Alexa is poised to dominate, it's worth remembering that this is a US trade show.\n\nAmazon is not quite as global a company as Google or Microsoft - the online retailer doesn't have a website for countries in Scandinavia, the Middle East or Africa, for example.\n\nAnd not all implementations of Alexa make the assistant easy to access, notes Lauren Goode at news site The Verge.\n\nShe tested headphones by OnVocal that make the aide accessible - via a tiny button that needs to be pressed to activate it.\n\n\"You'd kind of think that walking around while wearing these is just as good as having an Echo strapped to your body. It's not,\" she wrote.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nShe's the star of CES even though her creator isn't exhibiting on the show floor. Amazon's Alexa was the first voice assistant to turn up in a compelling consumer product, the Echo speaker, rather than just on a smartphone.\n\nAlthough Google Home has now joined the fray it's clear who's in the lead. Across CES, you can hear Amazon's creation at work.\n\nWho'd have thought a few years back that an online retailer with a patchy record when it comes to hardware devices would be the single most influential player at a consumer electronics event?\n\nIn the past, it has been Apple and Google who've been able to dominate CES without even turning up - now Amazon is looking like the tech industry's thought leader.\n\nNvidia has chosen to integrate Google Assistant with its new streaming box\n\nWhile Alexa may be popular, it certainly has rivals.\n\nNvidia announced at CES that its media streaming device, Shield, would feature Google Assistant - allowing users to display photos on their TV screens via voice command, for example.\n\nIt can also connect with the Nest smart thermostat and adjust the temperature - or turn on smart home devices.\n\nMicrosoft's Cortana will, of course, be available in Windows 10 devices - a wide array of which were launched this week.\n\nBut curiously, despite publishing a teaser video for a Harman Kardon speaker featuring Cortana last month, the product failed to materialise.\n\nHarman Kardon told the BBC that the device was \"not ready for display\".\n\nA Harman Kardon speaker featuring Cortana, though teased in December, was not at CES\n\nThe battle of the AIs doesn't even end there. In October, Samsung acquired fledgling AI Viv and is expected to launch it with the firm's Galaxy S8 smartphone later in 2017.\n\nIt is worth noting that the South Korean tech giant has also agreed to buy Harman Kardon.\n\nWill Viv nudge out Cortana in future Harman Kardon speakers and one day give Alexa a run for its money? It's anyone's guess at this point.\n\nAnd there was an interesting announcement from Mattel's Nabi brand, which makes child-friendly tech.\n\nIts new Aristotle speaker incorporates Alexa and will soon feature Cortana, too.\n\nParents can even set it so that children speaking to the device must say \"please\" when uttering a command.\n\nIt should be no surprise that more than one branded virtual assistant can be accessible via a single device - they are summoned from the cloud, after all.\n\nIn the future, other appliances might allow users to call on the virtual assistant of their choice by name for specific tasks. Not just one digital butler, but a whole staff.\n\nApple's Siri is not to be forgotten. It can be used to interact with several smart home devices unveiled at CES - including a smart smoke detector by Netatmo and Chamberlain garage door openers.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

And yet each time it hits hard.\n\nThere was something particularly emotional about watching Ulas at the funeral that day and meeting those who had witnessed the massacre in the Reina nightclub.\n\nLike Tuvana Tugsavul, who worked there and who ran into the bathroom to escape the attack. Her eyes ringed with fatigue, she told me how the power was suddenly cut and she thought the gunman would blow himself up.\n\n\"I sent messages to my friends saying 'this is the end… I love you… goodbye.'\"\n\nTuvana survived the attack, hiding in one of the club's bathrooms\n\nAnd then there was the poignancy of the words of Sezen Arseven, whose partner Mustafa was killed: \"I lost my other half\", she wrote, \"my partner, my love\".\n\nAll this grief adds up to a national trauma. Twenty-eight attacks in a year and a half have killed more than 500 people. After each one, the government says \"Turkey will defeat terrorism\". Politicians must say such things, but the words lose meaning when the attacks keep happening.\n\nThere is a certain defiance here: after the twin bombings at Besiktas football stadium in Istanbul last month, crowds gathered at the site for days, one woman telling me \"the terrorists want us to stay inside, not to go out and enjoy ourselves - but then they would win\".\n\nBut there is also, of course, deepening fear: that a city to which Arab tourists came to enjoy themselves on New Year's Eve was consumed by horror; police and soldiers wonder if they'll be blown up on patrol; that Turkey has gone from being a stable corner of the Middle East to yet another troubled hotspot.\n\nOne friend tells me she wouldn't take the metro in Istanbul anymore, another that he would avoid public gatherings and concerts. Three years ago, Istanbul topped lists of the world's must-visit cities. Now tourism is plummeting and businesses are closing down.\n\nNo matter that this is a huge country and the likelihood of an attack on its golden beaches is minimal - tourism works through image, and Turkey's has been blackened.\n\nIf only this nation could come together in times of tragedy, it might help ease the pain. But Turkey is torn by anger and division.\n\nThe damage seen a a local cafe after a 5 January car bomb in Izmir, which killed two people\n\nIn the run-up to the Reina attack, Islamist newspapers condemned Christmas and New Year celebrations as an affront to Muslim values, some showing a Santa Claus figure being punched.\n\nDaring to criticise the government's policies is like poking a wasps' nest, unleashing vitriol on social media the likes of which I've never seen. Supporters of President Erdogan insist the west has abandoned Turkey to fight terrorism alone; pro-government newspapers churn out conspiracy theories that the CIA is behind the attacks.\n\nOne front page superimposed Barack Obama's face onto that of the nightclub killer. A famous fashion designer and outspoken critic of the government was deported from northern Cyprus this week for tweets deemed to insult Turkey. As he landed in Turkey, he was set upon by an organised mob on the runway, who had conveniently been informed of his flight details through a state news agency report. He has now been arrested while the thugs roam free.\n\nGloom has descended onto this beautiful and fascinating country - and nobody knows how or when it will lift.\n\nPeople do still go about their daily lives. But when my phone beeps with an alert, I always wonder if it's another attack. There is a lovely Turkish expression that is normally used to mean \"get well soon\".\n\nBut these days it is on everyone's lips, urging their country to get through this time: geçmiş olsun - \"may it pass\".", "The family of a man whose torture was broadcast on Facebook have thanked the community and local police for their response.\n\nThey have asked for privacy from the public as they \"cope and heal\".\n\nFour people have been charged with hate crimes in relation to the Chicago assault, that police say lasted two days.", "At least 43 people have been killed in a car bomb blast in the rebel-held Syrian town of Azaz, near the Turkish border.\n\nThe explosion occurred outside a courthouse in the town, just 7km (four miles) from the Turkish frontier.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. George Boden has had his jaw rebuilt thanks to a 3D printer after a horrific bike accident\n\nA man who lost part of his face in a cycling accident has had his jaw rebuilt with the help of a 3D printer.\n\nGeorge Boden, from High Easter, near Chelmsford, Essex, was riding his bike in 2011 when he crashed face-first.\n\nSurgeons took bone from his shoulder and a titanium plate to make a new jaw, but he was left with no bottom teeth and a mouth the size of a walnut.\n\nBut 3D printed models were used to plan more surgery to refine his jaw and create new teeth.\n\nMr Boden said: \"I was out for a training spin, looked at my watch and the next minute I'd slammed into a piece of machinery around the corner.\n\n\"It's not a good idea to hit something with your chin at 30mph [48kmph], which is exactly what I did. It ripped the whole of my jaw off.\"\n\nMaxillofacial surgeon Iain Hutchison rebuilt Mr Boden's face with the help of the 3D printout\n\nDoctors covered his rebuilt jaw with a skin flap, but then decided to input his CT scan into a 3D printer to produce a more finely detailed model of his jaw.\n\nHis surgeon Iain Hutchison said: \"We use it to plan the operation. We use it to design exactly what we are going to take.\"\n\nThe model was also used to make bespoke teeth implants to perfectly fit his new jaw, while another device was also printed to stretch his mouth.\n\nMr Boden said the technology gave him hope when he most needed it.\n\n\"I've found two things,\" he said. \"First of all if you know you are going to get a solution you can keep going and secondly, red wine helps enormously.\"", "Ben is one of the first children to be fitted by the NHS with a false leg especially designed for sport.\n\nHe was born with a condition known as fibular hemimelia – giving him a foot with only three toes, and leg that failed to develop.", "Billy Willson received a 4.0 grade point average, the equivalent to straight As, for his first semester at Kansas State University. He decided that it would also be his last.\n\nIn a strongly worded Facebook post, Willson uploaded a photograph of himself standing outside the university's sign, holding his middle finger up to it. In the accompanying text he wrote:\n\n\"YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will see it some day,\" he wrote.\n\n\"You are being put thousands into debt to learn things you will never even use. Wasting 4 years of your life to be stuck at a paycheck that grows slower than the rate of inflation. Paying $200 for a $6 textbook.\"\n\nBilly and his girlfriend Brittany Quinn at a Kansas State University football game\n\nHis post, which has been shared more than 10,000 times in little more than a fortnight and has provoked a vigorous debate in the comments, appears to have struck a chord with other young adults who are wondering if pursuing higher education is worth the time and money.\n\nWillson, who was on an Architectural Engineering undergraduate course told BBC Trending that the \"cost of inflation is relatively small compared to the cost of college over the last 30 or so years. I mean, it really is ridiculous how the cost of college has gone up.\"\n\nHe's backed up by data. According to the US Department of Education the average annual increase in college tuition in the United States, between 1980-2014, grew by nearly 260% compared to the nearly 120% increase in all consumer items.\n\nIn 1980, the average cost of tuition, room and board, and fees for a four-year course was over $9,000. That cost now is more than $23,000 for state colleges. If you want to go private it's more than $30,000.\n\nA similar hike in tuition fees has also been seen in England. In 2012, the government backed initiatives from some universities to charge more than the £9,000 tuition fee limit.\n\nIn the post Willson also cited higher education debt as a reason to leave university and enter the work place. Students in the United States are estimated to be in around over $1.2 trillion of loan debt with 7 million borrowers in default.\n\nWillson says that when he first told his parents that he was leaving university, they were \"very upset\" but are now supportive of his decision. So were dozens of others of people who commented on Facebook.\n\nTrey Foshee wrote: \"Years and money wasted. Very much agree. I have two degrees that I would sell back right now if they'd let me.\"\n\nOthers, like Blair Brown, agreed with Willson also pointed out that some professions do require a university degree.\n\n\"Being an engineer, scientist, or computer technician could be learned rather quickly through apprenticeships, independent study, and hands-on experience. Human nature is to learn by doing, not learning to do. As for more professional careers such as medical doctors and lawyers, university study is admittedly necessary,\" Brown commented.\n\nNot everyone was supportive however, a comment on The Collegian, Kansas State's student newspaper accused Willson of adding to stereotypes about his generation:\n\n\"First of all, thanks for continuing to destroy the millennial reputation with your entitled, everything-should-be-easy, get-me-rich-fast mentality... You have completely just destroyed your reputation. When you fall hard and fast...you are going to need a real, big kid job and guess what? Something called Google exists and even my grandma can dig up dirt on you.\"\n\nWillson, who told Trending that he is currently employed for a trade show sales team and his employers did Google him and they saw the funny side. He adds that he hopes enough work experience will allow him to be employed by an architectural engineering team in the future.\n\nHe doesn't think university will play any part in that future.\n\n\"They would have to make a massive change to the system before I would consider that and I don't think they'll do that while I'm still young enough to want to go\"\n\nA shocking, graphic video showing torture and racial abuse led far-right activists to link the perpetrators to the Black Lives Matter movement.

I still don't know what was in there; I'm no nearer finding out than you are.\n\n\"People could remember a package that was delivered to France, they can remember who asked for it, they can remember the route it took, who delivered it, the times it arrived. The select committee has got expense sheets and travel documents.\n\n\"So everybody can remember this from five years ago, but no-one can remember what was in the package. That strikes me as being extraordinary. It is very disappointing.\"\n\nWhen asked about Brailsford's Fluimucil explanation, Kenworthy said: \"Well that's what Dave Brailsford came out with at the hearing. But actually, if you recall, he didn't say: 'I know that's what it was'. He said: 'I have been told that's what it was'.\n\nCope has previously said he did not know what was in the Jiffy bag he was asked to deliver to France.\n\nWhen asked if British Cycling should have kept records of medication taken abroad by one of its coaches, Kenworthy said: \"One would think so, one would hope so.\n\n\"Here's an individual [Cope] who's carrying a package containing medicine across international boundaries, and he's no idea what's in them.\n\n\"One could say he could be putting himself at risk if they are drugs which one could not properly transport. Someone should be inquisitive enough to say: 'Well what is it I'm actually taking?'\"\n\nKenworthy's comments are likely to increase pressure on Brailsford, who has faced intense scrutiny since his appearance before the select committee, with critics questioning why Team Sky had an innocuous decongestant delivered all the way from their Manchester headquarters to France, when it could have been easily sourced locally.\n\nBrailsford has admitted \"badly\" handling the crisis after providing initial explanations for the delivery to the Daily Mail that later turned out to be wrong.\n\nCommittee chairman Damian Collins MP has said witnesses may be recalled, along with new ones.\n\n\"We're not giving up on this, and we'll dig and delve and find out what was in that package,\" warned Kenworthy.\n\nBritish Cycling say they cannot comment while a UK Anti-Doping investigation is ongoing.\n\nHowever, Team Sky said: \"As we have said from the start, we are confident that there has been no wrongdoing. We are continuing to co-operate fully with Ukad and we look forward to the conclusion of the investigation.\"\n\nWiggins - Britain's most decorated Olympian - has been under scrutiny after he was granted a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to take powerful anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 Tour de France, his 2012 Tour win and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.\n\nHis use of the corticosteroid, revealed by Russian computer hackers, had been approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body, the UCI. There is no suggestion that either he, British Cycling or Team Sky have broken any rules.\n\nWiggins announced his retirement last month, and Kenworthy said: \"One of the tragedies of all this is you've got probably one of the greatest cyclists that the UK has produced, who's just coming to his retirement, and all the talk is not about the successes that he's had, but about this package.\n\n\"It just undermines yet again the joy of sport.\"\n\n'More extraordinary than a James Bond novel'\n\nKenworthy also waded into the debate surrounding the recent Russian doping scandal, saying he was \"absolutely horrified\" by last month's damning Wada independent report by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren into state-sponsored cheating.\n\nThe report alleged that more than 1,000 Russians benefited from a doping cover-up between 2011 and 2015, and that the London Olympics were \"corrupted on an unprecedented scale\".\n\nFollowing an initial report last summer, the IOC refused demands to suspend Russia from the Rio Olympics, but when asked whether the country should now be banned from the next Winter Olympics in 2018, Kenworthy said: \"Yes, I think they should. I think they should have been banned from the Olympics in the summer.\n\n\"The International Paralympic Committee in my view got it right - they banned Russia. I think the IOC made a complete muck-up of it.\n\n\"There was too much politicking going on, that was the problem. People were probably trying to protect vested interests. It's so important that we get this right because we are in danger of losing the confidence of spectators. If they stop going what's the point of having sport. I was lukewarm [about Rio] because I'd seen the Russian thing.\n\n\"It was just extraordinary what was done. It's more extraordinary than a James Bond novel, and it just debases all of sport.\n\n\"We're still getting denials of any wrongdoing and strange statements about whether it was state-sponsored or not - what we now need to do is get Russia back in the fold, and that is taking some considerable time and effort.\"", "The futuristic looking Core is controlled via a smartphone app\n\nSecurity firms have launched routers at CES that can stop smart household gadgets being hijacked by hackers.\n\nSymantec, BitDefender and Intel unveiled devices that scrutinise data as it flows across home networks.\n\nThe companies say routers with built-in defences will be essential as homes are filled with net-connected gadgets.\n\nThe routers also come with parental control features that help manage how much time children spend online and what they see.\n\n\"You will have to buy a security solution for your internet-of-things,\" said Alex Balan, chief security researcher at BitDefender.\n\nThe \"internet of things\" refers to the growing collection of smart gadgets that can be controlled via the net.\n\n\"Pretty soon everything will be connected one way or another and managed by a smartphone app,\" said Mr Balan. \"You won't be able to avoid it.\"\n\nBut that interconnectivity and ease of use comes at a cost, he said, adding that the end of 2016 had seen a surge in attacks that compromised net-connected CCTV cameras, televisions and media servers.\n\nBitDefender unveiled a new version of its Box router while Arris revealed that it was adding Intel's security software to its devices\n\nThe poor security on these gadgets led to them being enrolled in massive networks by hackers who use them to carry out overwhelming attacks. One network, called Mirai, staged some of the biggest net attacks ever seen.\n\nThe problem has got so serious that the US Federal Trade Commission has kicked off a competition to create tools that consumers can add to their home network that can protect IoT devices from attack. Cash rewards of $25,000 (£20,000) will be given to the best entrants.\n\n\"Security for these devices has to start at the network level,\" said Gareth Lockwood from Symantec. \"There's no other way to do it.\"\n\nAs the entry and exit point for home networks, routers were the best place to put a security system that can watch for malicious traffic coming in and cut off hackers trying to access insecure kit.\n\nThe show floors of the CES tech expo are packed with new internet-connected products for the home\n\nWhile current home routers do have security systems, most are pretty basic, said Mr Lockwood, and none is ready for the explosion of smart devices predicted to be in use soon.\n\n\"If we look forward four to five years from now we expect to see between 20 to 30 billion devices in homes,\" he said. \"There'll be tens of devices per household.\"\n\nRead all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017\n\nThe three companies launching secure routers at CES are taking slightly different approaches to solving the IoT headache though one common feature they share is a smartphone-based management system.\n\nAll three will face competition from established devices such as the Cujo smart firewall and the Home Halo and Eero products as well as from Asus which has teamed up with Trend Micro to put security software on its routers.\n\nThe devices launched at CES will only initially be available in the US but will reach other regions later in 2017. Typically, buying one of the secure routers includes a subscription to a firm's standard security software that runs on desktops, laptops and tablets.\n\nAll three also include net access control systems that let parents decide for how long different gadgets can be used and which sites youngsters can visit. Some, such as the Norton Core, have an internet pause button that cuts off access for everyone in a household.", "Can you imagine telling an Oscar-winning actress that her face was sagging? It sounds like the stuff of a peculiar dream.\n\nBut that's precisely what London-based facialist Su-Man Hsu did. And the actress? None other than Juliette Binoche, star of films such as Chocolat, The English Patient and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.\n\nSu-Man describes the French actress's arrival for her appointment for a facial treatment like this: \"She came... and I said, 'What's happened to you? Stagnating body, sagging, sagging.'\"\n\nUnsurprisingly, perhaps, Ms Binoche didn't speak to Su-Man for the whole of the session. \"I thought, 'OK then, it's got to be something I said, I'll just move on and forget about it,'\" Su-Man recalls.\n\nBut the story doesn't end there. A year later her phone rang and on the other end was Juliette Binoche, in London for work, asking Su-Man to come and see her.\n\nGlowing - but Juliette Binoche and Su-Man Hsu had a sticky start to their relationship\n\nSu-Man recalls that Ms Binoche reminded her of what she'd said and quite how badly it had gone down.\n\n\"I said, 'Why did you call me then?' She said because she tried it in France, she tried everywhere and no-one [was] like me. And from then on we became best friends, we're still in contact with each other and I became her facialist.\"\n\nIt was a turning point for Su-Man. She says that on the strength of Ms Binoche's recommendations her business took off. Other celebrity fans include the actresses Anne Hathaway and Freida Pinto.\n\nIt's a good story to dine out on, but actually it's just one stop on a journey where, in Su-Man's words, \"everything's just emerged. A beautiful accident.\"\n\nSu-Man's parents didn't speak to her for almost two weeks when she said she wanted to pursue a career as a dancer\n\nSu-Man was born in Taiwan and lived in a tiny village until she was 14, in what she describes as a mud hut. \"Outside's raining, inside's raining, and you need to put all the pots and pans [out], otherwise you'd just slip away. And in the summer you sometimes see little baby mice fall from the ceiling,\" she says.\n\nThey had four neighbours and after that there was nothing between them and the next village except rice fields. The family had no car but would use a cart drawn by oxen to get around.\n\nSu-Man was the youngest of 10 siblings and her illiterate parents struggled to support the family. On days when there was no rice to eat, everyone - including the animals - would eat porridge.\n\nOr, she says, they would shoot the swallows living in the roof with a slingshot, and then barbecue them.\n\nSu-Man's route away from her parents' smallholding was to become a dancer - despite her mother and father's opposition to it as a career. She worked in Germany, where she met her British-Pakistani husband, and then in Brussels.\n\nSu-Man was the rehearsal director for Akram Khan's dancers at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012\n\nWhen the couple came to live in the UK, Su-Man performed her final dance in the King and I at the London Palladium, and then embarked on her second career looking after people's faces.\n\nShe didn't, however, say farewell to dancing completely. One of the highlights was still to come - she was rehearsal director for dancer Akram Khan's ensemble at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.\n\nSu-Man was already well-versed in Shiatsu massage techniques, having used them to help her recuperate after an accident at the age of 20. So when she came to set up Su-Man Skincare she developed treatments that combined massage with her own serums and toning products. To start with she made those in her kitchen and tried them out on herself and her clients.\n\nWhen clients began to ask her whether they could buy the products, she took the plunge and ordered 5,000 jars (the minimum order) to sell them in.\n\nSu-Man explains that her technique combines nature and science and is a mix of Eastern skincare, based on prevention of problems, and Western science, which corrects them.\n\nIf you spend just five minutes extra on your face, she promises, it will repay you by looking younger and happier.\n\nThe power of touch: Su-Man Hsu at work\n\nWith this belief in natural methods for skincare, she has no time for customers who go down the artificial route offered by Botox. Her message to those who are tempted is unequivocal: \"You go there, don't come back to me.\"\n\nAnd with a dancer's view of the world, she adds: \"The body is designed to be moved, it's not designed to sit there like a wall. If you can't see your expression when you speak, it's almost like you wipe out your history.\n\n\"You don't want people to know who you are, what's your future, where you come from. That saddens me.\"\n\nAlthough Su-Man's business includes Hollywood stars amongst its clientele, she is keen to stress her belief in not forgetting how and where you started. Her products, she says, are rooted in her background. She takes her cue from the way her mother looked after them as children, using whatever was to hand.\n\nSu-Man has travelled a long way from her first home, but says it's crucial to remember your roots\n\n\"We used rice water on our face, and used flour mixed with egg, things like that, as a mask, or even hair shampoo. We would collect roots from the mountain and we would chop it and put it in the water to wash our body.\n\n\"We used the leftover green tea to splash on our face to soothe it because we were exposed to such intense sun, and discarded water melon, rubbing our face, exfoliating, all that stuff.\"\n\nAnd just to make sure that she keeps all that in mind, almost every day while she meditates Su-Man listens to a track which plays her the sounds of her village at night.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "BBC weather presenter Michael Fish reading the signs available to him\n\n\"The only function of economic forecasting,\" JK Galbraith once said, \"is to make astrology look respectable.\"\n\nWith disarming honesty, the Bank of England's chief economist, Andrew Haldane, has admitted that criticisms that economic forecasts had been wrong before the financial crisis and wrong about the immediate impact of a Brexit vote were a \"fair cop\".\n\nThe profession, he said, was facing a crisis of confidence.\n\nMr Haldane went on to describe the failure to understand the impact of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 as the profession's \"Michael Fish moment\" - when the weather forecaster suggested in 1987 there wasn't a hurricane on the way before record high winds devastated large parts of the south east of England.\n\nTo be clear, Mr Haldane was talking about economists as a whole - not just the Bank - and said he still fundamentally agreed with the Bank's central forecast - made last November - that 2017 and 2018 could see a \"material\" slowdown in economic activity and a significant rise in inflation.\n\nThe Bank was right to suggest that sterling would fall in value following a Brexit vote.\n\nBut, consumer confidence has held up far more robustly than expected and, yet again, it is clear that while economic models can make reasoned judgements about the future, those judgements can prove erroneous.\n\nParticularly when they attempt to account for \"shock\" events - the financial crisis (when forecasts undercooked the effects) or the vote to leave the European Union (when models over-cooked the short term effects and failed to account for \"dynamic\" policy responses such as the Bank itself cutting interest rates to new record lows).\n\nMr Haldane said that economists could learn from meteorologists, who now use much more data to understand how weather patterns develop.\n\nMeteorology is, of course, a science.\n\nEconomics is a study, ultimately, of human behaviour - what millions, billions, of people may or may not do, given a certain set of circumstances.\n\nMaking judgements on that is always going to be a tricky, imprecise business.", "A spate of violence in Brazil's prisons has cast a spotlight on a system which appears to be near a state of collapse.\n\nAlmost 100 inmates lost their lives in the first week of January alone - brutally murdered, the guards apparently unable to stop the bloodshed.\n\nBut how has it come to this?\n\nA crackdown on violent and drug-related offences in recent years has seen Brazil's prison population soar since the turn of the century.\n\nThe prison in Roraima state where 33 inmates were killed on 6 January held 1,400 inmates when a deadly riot started.

As a result, \"when the prisoners want to have an uprising, they have an uprising,\" Ms Dias said.\n\nKillings are already common within the walls of Brazil's prisons - 372 inmates lost their lives in this way in 2016, according to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper - but this recent surge has been linked to the breakdown in a two-decade truce of sorts between the country's two most powerful gangs.\n\nA lack of guards means prisoners can take control, experts say. Pictured: A riot in 2014\n\nUp until recently, the Sao Paulo-based First Capital Command (PCC) drug gang and Rio de Janeiro's Red Command had a working relationship, supposedly to ensure the flow of marijuana, cocaine and guns over Brazil's porous borders and into its cities.\n\nBut recently they have fallen out - although the exact reasons why remain unclear.\n\nAnd following the government crackdown on criminal gangs, there are thousands of members of both gangs locked up inside Brazilian prisons.\n\nRafael Alcadipani, a public security expert at the Getulio Vargas Foundation think tank in Sao Paulo, told Reuters it means any feud between the two sides on the streets will almost certainly spill over into the largely \"self-regulated\" jails.\n\n\"We see that as soon as we have a gang war, these killings are inevitably going to happen because the state has no control over the prisons,\" he said.\n\nThe army patrols outside a prison in northern Brazil where more than 30 inmates died\n\nFollowing the deadly riots in Amazonas, state governor Jose Melo asked the federal government for equipment such as scanners, electronic tags and devices which block mobile phone signals inside prisons.\n\nHis request illustrates the lack of basic equipment in prisons which house large numbers of prisoners.\n\nHe also said that the state police force was struggling to cope and requested that federal forces be sent.\n\nPoorly-trained and badly-paid prison guards often face inmates who not only outnumber them but who also feel they have little to lose as they face long sentences already.\n\nFollowing the 1 January riot, which left 56 inmates dead in a prison in Manaus, the Brazilian government announced a plan to modernise the prison system.\n\nBut with Brazil going through its worst recession in two decades and a 20-year cap on public spending in place, it is hard to see how the government plans to fund it.", "It helped her deal with growing up in a tough south London neighbourhood.\n\nAnd that \"hood\" has shaped the music she has created so far.\n\nShe says 2016 was a whirlwind of a year - and it looks like 2017 could follow suit with Ray BLK named the winner of BBC Sound of 2017.", "There is a \"humanitarian crisis\" in NHS hospitals in England, the British Red Cross has said.\n\nThe charity said volunteers and staff had been helping patients get home from hospital and called for more government money to stabilise the situation.\n\nDr Mark Holland, president of the Society for Acute Medicine, said the description \"humanitarian crisis\" had some truth in it.", "Ant & Dec have hosted Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV since 2002\n\nThe makers of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway board game have apologised after it was found to have several errors.\n\nThe game features cards with a series of quiz questions, but some of the answers given are incorrect.\n\nOne answer claims the moon is 225 miles away from the earth - instead of about 238,900 miles.\n\nManufacturers Paul Lamond Games said they \"unreservedly apologise\" and added replacement cards would be issued.\n\nIt is understood at least six of the 50 answers in one round of the game - which costs £19.99 - are incorrect.\n\nOne answer placed Stonehenge in Somerset instead of Wiltshire and a maths question suggested two cubed was bigger than three squared.\n\nIt also said Albert Einstein died in 1949 instead of 1955 and gave the number of Coronation Street episodes to date as 8,000, when the actual figure is more than 9,000.\n\nOne customer who bought the game told The Sun: \"I couldn't believe it, the answers are so ridiculous...

He is a player who works very hard for the team and you could see that in the game. With the quality he has as an individual and the quality players he is playing with, it makes him an outstanding player.\n\n\"It is not surprising he has scored this many goals. Even when they are 4-0 up, he is still sprinting and running for the ball.\"\n\nIn 2015, Rooney surpassed World Cup winner Charlton's England scoring record of 49 goals and has since taken his international tally to 53.\n\nThe United landmark comes during a season in which the England captain has been left out of the starting line-up for both club and country, his record-equalling goal being just his fourth of the campaign.\n\nFormer United manager David Moyes, now at Sunderland, added: \"First of all it's congratulations. To even get mentioned in the same breath as Sir Bobby Charlton, who for so many people is a great for what he did with England and Manchester United, is an achievement.\n\n\"You have to give Wayne Rooney credit for the limelight he has had to work under and the pressure people continually put on him.\n\n\"He has had a great career.

The times I have worked with him he was always very good.

Tommy Taylor, who was a two-time title winner with United in the 1950s, holds that honour, just ahead of former Netherlands international Ruud van Nistelrooy.\n\nRooney's ratio of 0.459 goals per game puts him eighth on the list, while Charlton (0.328) does not even make the top 10.\n\nWhere does Rooney rank in list of Man Utd greats?\n\nRooney has secured his place in Manchester United history and Old Trafford's hall of greats with his record-equalling goalscoring feats.\n\nHowever, he will have to resign himself to never being held in the same esteem, and place of legend, as the likes of Charlton, George Best and Denis Law.\n\nIndeed, despite his lofty place in United's record books, the 31-year-old will never be revered by United's supporters in the same manner as the maverick Old Trafford catalyst Eric Cantona, the great leaders Roy Keane and Bryan Robson, and brilliant home-grown products such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.\n\nThis may seem brutally unfair given his contribution to United's successes, but there are several factors at work when his place in the club's historical affections is measured.\n\nRooney was an expensive import from Merseyside, while Charlton, who survived the 1958 Munich air disaster, led United to their first European Cup in 1968 and stands alongside his great mentor Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson as an iconic Old Trafford figure.\n\nBest and Law came alongside Charlton as United's 'Holy Trinity' as the club emerged from the tragedy of Munich, while Cantona was the great transformer in the early 90s and the likes of Robson and Keane were world-class players and warriors.\n\nRooney's chequered history with the club and its fans will also have an impact on his legacy when his contribution to United - a truly great one when judged solely in a football context - is reflected upon.\n\nIn many eyes, Rooney will never quite be forgiven for the episode in October 2010 when he decided he wanted to leave, then further strained his relationship with club and fans by issuing a statement which effectively said United lacked ambition and questioned the quality of his team-mates.\n\nThis was resolved within days when he signed a new five-year-contract, but the memory has lingered for many. There was another disagreement late in the 2012-13 season as Ferguson prepared for retirement and made it clear Rooney again wanted to leave - a claim that led to the player being jeered by some fans as he collected his title winner's medal at Old Trafford.\n\nFans and those who record history and legends take these matters into account.\n\nWhat must also be remembered is that Rooney has had a stellar United career littered with trophies, brilliance and game-changing moments. He fully deserves to be remembered as one of the greats of Old Trafford.\n\nThere will, however, be many more remembered before him.", "Great skill from Aidan McGeady in midfield helps to set up Callum Robinson for a simple side-foot finish as Preston take a deserved 1-0 lead at home to Arsenal in the FA Cup 3rd Round.\n\nListen to live commentary of Preston v Arsenal on BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website & app\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "Donald Trump and US spies have disagreed openly on hacking during the US election\n\nIt is not unprecedented for political leaders to fall-out with spies. But a row has never before played out so publicly - with rival pronouncements over Twitter and in front of Congress.\n\nTwo competing forces are clashing. First, the intelligence community's credibility, which has been called into question by President-elect Donald Trump.\n\nAnd second, the legitimacy of Mr Trump's presidency, called into question by the intelligence community's conclusion that the Kremlin sought to support his election.\n\nNeither side is likely to back off and both may come out damaged.\n\nRelations between political leaders and intelligence officials have always had their ups and downs.\n\nIn the late 1970s, after a series of Congressional committees raised fears of the CIA having got out of control, President Carter brought in a new director, Stansfield Turner, who cleared out the agency of many of its staff leading to much unhappiness.\n\nCIA Director James Woolsey did not so much have a bad relationship as no relationship at all with Bill Clinton, to the extent that when a small aircraft crashed on the White House lawn, the joke was that it was Mr Woolsey trying to get a meeting with the president.\n\nUnder George W Bush, there was real tension, especially in the aftermath of the intelligence community's failure over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and on briefings about the future of Iraq.\n\nPresident Bush appointed Republican Congressman Porter Goss to try and align the agency more closely with the White House.\n\nBut the result was a disastrous falling out between Mr Goss's senior staff and top officials at the CIA. Goss only lasted a year.\n\nIt is a precedent that incoming CIA Director - another Republic Congressman, Mike Pompeo - will only be too aware of as he prepares to take the helm.\n\nOne thing that has been notable is that since his nomination he has offered very little public comment.\n\nOn the whole, those close to the CIA have suggested officials there are less worried by his nomination than that of other officials like incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.\n\nHe is reported to have a degree of animosity towards the CIA and the Directorate of National Intelligence (which plays an over-arching role) after his stint running the Defence Intelligence Agency.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

But in the Trump era they also may be wondering whether something different is about to happen.\n\nWhen weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq, spies and politicians in London and Washington engaged in an uneasy truce.\n\nBoth sides realised they had been complicit in the presentation of intelligence to the public which proved wrong and that if they turned on each other in a blame game, it would be bloody, vicious and self-destructive.\n\nMr Trump plays by different rules to previous US leaders\n\nBut in this current stand-off, the situation is different, not least because we are at a moment of transition and the current intelligence officials are on their way out and may feel they have little to lose by speaking out.\n\nDonald Trump also plays by different rules.\n\nBut the result is that if a public spat continues and even escalates, both the intelligence community and the incoming political leadership could emerge damaged.\n\nAnd the only people who will be smiling will be America's adversaries", "Tower Hamlets - which includes Canary Wharf - is the most productive part of the UK\n\nProductivity, or more precisely the lack of productivity, is one of the great puzzles of the British economy at the moment.\n\nProductivity growth since the credit crunch has been dreadful and that matters, because unless we make more and work more efficiently we cannot pay ourselves more.\n\nIn an attempt to understand what is going wrong, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is bringing all its productivity statistics together and conducting new research. It throws up some interesting details and possible explanations about what is going wrong.\n\nOutput per hour worked increased by 0.4% in the three months to September last year, that is an improvement but according to (ONS) economist Richard Heys: \"It is still weak compared to that experienced in the recent past.\"\n\nPart of the reason for low productivity lies in Britain's regions. While London and south-eastern England have productivity well above the national average and equal to the levels seen in rival economies like France and Germany, the rest of the country lags behind.\n\nTower Hamlets, which includes the financial district of Canary Wharf, is the most productive part of the country, a huge 79% more productive than average.\n\nPowys in central Wales is the least productive and, overall, Wales and Northern Ireland have productivity levels 19% below the national average.\n\nThe only towns in the country that have above average productivity are London, Aberdeen (centre of the off-shore oil industry) and Bristol (a high tech and aviation industry hub).\n\nThe Bristol area is one of the most productive in the country\n\nThe least productive city is Sheffield, once home to a huge steel industry but now lagging well behind; Sheffield is 19% less productive than the national average.\n\nThis part of the productivity puzzle is perhaps the best understood. The most productive industry is finance and that is concentrated in London, while many regions suffer from poor infrastructure and communications and have never recovered from the loss of major parts of their economy in previous decades: mining, heavy engineering, ship building and many more.\n\nPerhaps more interesting, is new research by the ONS into the efficiency of family-owned and run manufacturing firms.\n\nThat found well-structured management practices were better among larger businesses, multinationals and family-owned businesses that were not managed by members of the owning families. To put it bluntly the management of family-run firms (which make up more than half of all manufacturing companies) is awful.\n\nEven a small improvement in management would see a huge boost in productivity in such businesses.\n\nAt first sight this might seem strange, but there is a fairly obvious explanation.\n\nWhat are the odds that the best-qualified and most competent person in the world to run a business just happens to be the son or daughter of the current boss?\n\nAs one economist has put it, this is like selecting the children of previous gold medallists to be members of the country's next Olympic team, rather than picking the best athletes.\n\nThere is also the issue of how such companies will attract top staff if they know nepotism means they will never make it to the top, which helps explain why the handling of promotions was one of the issues most associated with productivity.\n\nSolving the productivity gap in the UK will not be an easy job, certainly better regional policies would help, but just convincing family- run firms to appoint competent outsiders to run their business would also have a huge effect.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nSir Andy Murray will face defending champion Novak Djokovic in the Qatar Open final on Saturday after beating third seed Tomas Berdych in the semis.\n\nMurray won 6-3 6-4 against Czech Berdych, who needed treatment on an ankle injury after the first set.\n\nIt will be the 19th ATP final meeting between Murray and the man he replaced as world number one in November.\n\nSecond seed Djokovic survived five match points on his way to beating Fernando Verdasco in his semi-final.\n\nMurray, who won the tournament in 2008 and 2009, has now recorded 28 consecutive victories in ATP Tour matches.\n\n\"I want to try and keep it going - I feel a little bit like this year's a fresh start,\" he told Eurosport.\n\n\"It's been the perfect week to get ready for the Australian Open.\"\n\nEarlier, Serb Djokovic made only one unforced error in the decider to win 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 after Spaniard Verdasco, ranked 42nd in the world, controlled the first two sets.\n\n\"It's definitely one of the most exciting matches I have played,\" Djokovic said. \"I haven't saved five match points many times.

Film writer Aseem Chhabra believes he never got the recognition he deserved.\n\nIn one scene he spoke in a delightful Punjabi accented English and cautiously suggested to Charlie Wilson, a Congressman from Texas played by Tom Hanks, that covert aid to the mujahideen, fighting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, should pass through the hands of the Pakistani government.\n\nI wanted to write something on this terrific actor, one of the few from India who straddled so many film spaces - from Bollywood to Indian art house indies, British Asian immigrant stories and big Hollywood productions.\n\nBut the publicists for the film and even the studio Universal Pictures informed me that they had no images of Puri.\n\nSadly this amazing actor had left no impression on the publicists who were mostly focused on promoting Hanks and his co-star Julia Roberts.\n\nPuri acted in over 300 film projects in India and abroad, and yet he did not get the kind of recognition that he surely deserved.\n\nHe won two National Awards in India in the acting category (Arohan, 1982 and Ardh Satya, 1983), and was recognised at a number of film festivals, including a lifetime achievement medal at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival.\n\nDirector Roland Joffé cast Puri in a supporting role in City of Joy\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Om Puri found international fame for his roles in films such as East is East\n\nHe was even nominated for a Bafta film award in 2000 for playing the lead in Ayub Khan Din's autobiographical British film East is East.\n\nBut unfortunately in the last decade or so Puri, the actor, was largely forgotten in the West and even in India.\n\nHe did play one last big role in the West - that of an Indian chef in a remote French town in The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014), opposite a feisty Helen Mirren.\n\nIt was a rare moment when Puri was suddenly, albeit briefly, the focus of a film produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.\n\nWhile promoting that film, Puri told me that Hindi cinema mostly concentrated on younger, good-looking actors. And the industry had relegated him to roles of the father of a lead actor or a police officer. He was rarely offered meaty roles, he complained.\n\nHe was always hungry for more challenging work and recognition.\n\nIn another interview while promoting East is East (1999), Puri told me that his big regret was that he would never get the kind of roles given to Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro.\n\nBut Om Puri was as great an actor as Hoffman and De Niro.\n\nIn fact, one can say he was even better, given the number of films he acted in and the range of his performances.\n\nPuri (left extreme)'s comic timing was perfect in Jaane Bhi Do Yaro\n\nPuri was one of the most versatile Indian actors\n\nHis comic timing was perfect and we can see that in the cult classic indie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) and later on in Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool - a modern-day take on Macbeth, where Puri played one of the witches, along with his colleague and friend Naseeruddin Shah.\n\nAlso in the same time period he played a sleazy photographer in Shyam Benegal's Mandi (1983).\n\nHe was the voice of an angry, frustrated cop in Ardh Satya (1983), but was equally charming and seductive with his co-star, the late Smita Patil. And in Aakrosh (1980) he was the oppressed peasant who barely uttered a word.\n\nPuri became one of the first Indian actors of his generation to crossover to the West with his work in British films - East is East, its less successful sequel West is West (2010), the rarely seen Brothers in Trouble (1995), the Hanif Kureishi scripted My Son the Fanatic (1997), and the mini-series White Teeth (2002), based on Zadie Smith's bestseller novel.\n\nThat was a time when nearly every Indian or Pakistani role in a British production was offered to Puri.\n\nHollywood came calling as well.\n\nMike Nichols also cast him in an important role in Wolf (1994) where Puri shared screen time with Jack Nicholson. And earlier Roland Joffé cast him in a supporting role in City of Joy (1992).\n\nOm Puri acted in the TV series Jewel in the Crown\n\nIn 1994, Ismail Merchant cast Puri as a hapless college professor who sets out to interview an ageing and overweight Urdu poet (Shashi Kapoor) in In Custody, based on Anita Desai's Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel.\n\nPuri was perfect in the film, displaying his frustration as he observed the decline of Urdu language and poetry.\n\nBut it is the sad reality of the film business, that talented men and women find it harder to get juicy roles as they get older. And Puri had to face that fact.\n\nOm Puri died too soon. But he has left a huge body of work reflecting his four decades as a film actor. He should get the most attention that a master actor of his stature deserves.", "One in five teens claims to have been cyberbullied but few admit to being the bully\n\nParents worry about their children being bullied online, but what if it is your child who is doing the bullying?\n\nThat was the question posed by a BBC reader, following a report on how children struggle to cope online.\n\nThere is plenty of information about how to deal with cyberbullies, but far less about what to do if you find out that your own child is the source.\n\nThe BBC took advice from experts and a mother who found out her daughter had been cyberbullying her school friends.\n\nNicola Jenkins found out that her 12-year-old daughter was posting unpleasant comments online from her teacher\n\nFew parents would want to admit that their child was a bully but Nicola Jenkins has gone on record with her story. You can watch her tell it here.\n\n\"Nobody thinks that their own child is saying unkind things to other children, do they? I let them go on all the social media sites and trusted the children to use it appropriately.\n\n\"Our form tutor phoned me up during school hours one day to tell me that there'd been some messages sent between my daughter and two other friends that weren't very nice. One of the children in particular was very upset about some of the things that had been said to her.\n\n\"Her friend's mum spoke to me about it and showed me the messages that had been sent. When I approached my daughter about it, she denied that there had been anything going on. It took a while to get it out of her, but I was angry with her once I actually found out that she had been sending these messages.\n\n\"I spoke to her teacher and to the other parents, and between us we spoke to the children to let them know that they can't be saying unkind things and to just make them aware that whatever they do is recorded and can be kept. And they all did learn a lesson from it.\n\n\"I removed all the social media websites from her so she wasn't able to access them for a while and then monitored her input and what she's been saying to people.\n\n\"But it did make me feel angry and quite ashamed that my daughter could be saying things like that to her friends, but she has grown up a bit since then and she's learnt her lesson.\n\n\"You want to trust your children, but they can get themselves into situations that they can't get out of.\n\n\"And as they get older, they look at different things. I know my son looks at totally different things to what my daughter does, so it's just being aware of what they are accessing and make sure that they are happy for you to look at what they are looking at as well.\"\n\nThere is plenty of advice for parents on coping with cyberbullying but less on what to do if your child is the bully\n\nAccording to not-for-profit organisation Internet Matters, one in five 13-18 year olds claim to have experienced cyberbullying but there are few statistics on how many children are bullying.\n\nCarolyn Bunting, general manager of Internet Matters, offers the following advice:\n\n\"First, sit down with them and try to establish the facts around the incident with an open mind. As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.\n\n\"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.\n\n\"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.\n\n\"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.\n\n\"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers.\"\n\nTwitter's image has been tarnished by trolls\n\nMany critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.\n\nSinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:\n\n\"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock.\"\n\nShe offered the following advice:\n\n\"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.\n\n\"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created. If it continues, it may be worth seeking additional advice from a teacher or trusted confidant.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Shotguns and air rifles are the only firearms you can legally buy in Japan\n\nJapan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US.\n\nIf you want to buy a gun in Japan you need patience and determination. You have to attend an all-day class, take a written exam and pass a shooting-range test with a mark of at least 95%.\n\nThere are also mental health and drugs tests. Your criminal record is checked and police look for links to extremist groups. Then they check your relatives too - and even your work colleagues. And as well as having the power to deny gun licences, police also have sweeping powers to search and seize weapons.\n\nThat's not all. Handguns are banned outright. Only shotguns and air rifles are allowed.\n\nThe law restricts the number of gun shops. In most of Japan's 40 or so prefectures there can be no more than three, and you can only buy fresh cartridges by returning the spent cartridges you bought on your last visit.\n\nA photo posed by models - even Japanese gangsters rarely use guns these days\n\nPolice must be notified where the gun and the ammunition are stored - and they must be stored separately under lock and key. Police will also inspect guns once a year. And after three years your licence runs out, at which point you have to attend the course and pass the tests again.\n\nThis helps explain why mass shootings in Japan are extremely rare. When mass killings occur, the killer most often wields a knife.\n\nIn a world where a lot is going wrong there is also a lot going right. So what if you could build a country with policies that actually worked, by homing in ideas around the world that have been truly successful?\n\nThe current gun control law was introduced in 1958, but the idea behind the policy dates back centuries.\n\n\"Ever since guns entered the country, Japan has always had strict gun laws,\" says Iain Overton, executive director of Action on Armed Violence and the author of Gun Baby Gun.\n\n\"They are the first nation to impose gun laws in the whole world and I think it laid down a bedrock saying that guns really don't play a part in civilian society.\"\n\nPeople were being rewarded for giving up firearms as far back as 1685, a policy Overton describes as \"perhaps the first ever gun buyback initiative\".\n\n\"The moment you have guns in society, you will have gun violence but I think it's about the quantity,\" says Overton. \"If you have very few guns in society, you will almost inevitably have low levels of violence.\"\n\nJapanese police officers rarely use guns and put much greater emphasis on martial arts - all are expected to become a black belt in judo. They spend more time practising kendo (fighting with bamboo swords) than learning how to use firearms.\n\n\"The response to violence is never violence, it's always to de-escalate it. Only six shots were fired by Japanese police nationwide [in 2015],\" says journalist Anthony Berteaux. \"What most Japanese police will do is get huge futons and essentially roll up a person who is being violent or drunk into a little burrito and carry them back to the station to calm them down.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Japanese police practise martial arts every week and avoid using weapons whenever they can\n\nOverton contrasts this with the American model, which he says has been \"to militarise the police\".\n\n\"If you have too many police pulling out guns at the first instance of crime, you lead to a miniature arms race between police and criminals,\" he says.\n\nTo underline the taboo attached to inappropriate use of weapons, an officer who used his gun to kill himself was charged posthumously with a criminal offence. He carried out the act while on duty - policemen never carry weapons off-duty, leaving them at the station when they finish their shift.\n\nThe care police take with firearms is mirrored in the self-defence forces.\n\nJournalist Jake Adelstein once attended a shooting practice, which ended with the gathering up of the bullet casings - and there was great concern when one turned out to be missing.\n\n\"One bullet shell was unaccounted for - one shell had fallen behind one of the targets - and nobody was allowed to leave the facilities until they found the shell,\" he says.\n\nThere is no clamour in Japan for gun regulations to be relaxed, says Berteaux. \"A lot of it stems from this post-war sentiment of pacifism that the war was horrible and we can never have that again,\" he explains.\n\nThere are a limited number of longstanding rifle owners in Japan - when they die their heirs must hand the rifles in\n\n\"People assume that peace is always going to exist and when you have a culture like that you don't really feel the need to arm yourself or have an object that disrupts that peace.\"\n\nIn fact, moves to expand the role of Japan's self-defence forces in foreign peacekeeping operations have caused concern in some quarters.\n\n\"It is unknown territory,\" says political science professor Koichi Nakano. \"Maybe the government will try to normalise occasional death in the self-defence force and perhaps even try to glorify the exercise of weapons?\"\n\nAccording to Iain Overton, the \"almost taboo level of rejection\" of guns in Japan means that the country is \"edging towards a perfect place\" - though he points out that Iceland also achieves a very low rate of gun crime, despite a much higher level of gun ownership.\n\nHenrietta Moore of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London applauds the Japanese for not viewing gun ownership as \"a civil liberty\", and rejecting the idea of firearms as \"something you use to defend your property against others\".\n\nBut for Japanese gangsters the tight gun control laws are a problem. Yakuza gun crime has sharply declined in the last 15 years, but those who continue to carry firearms have to find ingenious ways of smuggling them into the country.\n\n\"The criminals pack the guns inside of a tuna so it looks like a frozen tuna,\" says retired police officer Tahei Ogawa. \"But we have discovered cases where they have actually hidden a gun inside.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find the BBC World Service on Facebook and Twitter.", "1.

but the firm is a home-grown Chinese venture\n\nChina's disregard for intellectual property, and a turn-a-blind-eye culture when it comes to blatant counterfeiting, is notorious - the butt of many jokes.\n\nAnd it’s been fair. In China they don't just counterfeit devices, they counterfeit entire shops - a knock-off Apple store was closed down in 2015.\n\nInstances like this play into the West’s view of China as the world’s shameless imitator. A place where great ideas from the US and Europe go off to be assembled as cheaply as possible.\n\nIt's time to update that view.\n\nAt CES, the US's biggest trade show, Chinese companies could be found competing not only on price, but on fantastic ideas and design.\n\nAs China's consumers have matured - and by that I mean, got a lot richer - so too has its technology industry.\n\nLike many a British popstar, China is intent on breaking America. But the question is whether Chinese firms can earn greater trust from Western consumers.\n\nOccupying a sizable booth in CES's North Hall is LeEco. It's pronounced \"Luh\" and \"eco\" as in ecosystem.\n\nOn display here is a concept Tesla-like sportscar, some Smart bikes with Google's Android software built in, and a 12in (30cm) TV. The point: they do a lot.\n\nChinese billionaire Jia Yueting, chief executive of LeEco, has been at CES this year\n\nLeEco was for a while known as the Netflix of China, a company that streamed content and eventually started making its own original material. Now it's branching out quickly into hardware - and started selling devices in the US at the tail end of last year.\n\n\"People assume LeEco… they think it sounds French,” says Kenny Mathers, from LeEco's marketing team.\n\n\"Our name means joyful ecosystem. When consumers get to pick up our products they’re delighted with build quality and design.\"\n\nSounding French is a good thing for a Chinese company, Mathers acknowledged, as it removes a trust barrier for people used to words like Apple rather than, say, Xiaomi. That said, I’ve heard at least five different pronunciations of LeEco this week.\n\nLooking around the booth I spotted what looked very much like a GoPro camera, and I put it to Mathers that even here we're still seeing a disregard for Western intellectual property.\n\n\"I wouldn’t say that,\" he said.\n\n\"I would say that there’s a lot of innovation in our products. We've had a huge number of innovations in our phone line - we were the first company to remove the audio jack.\"\n\nHe is of course referencing Apple’s controversial decision to remove the headphone socket from its latest iPhone - though I’m not sure that’s been a particularly popular move by either company.\n\nLeEco won't be drawn on reports of its money woes - back in China it’s reported that Haosheng Electronics, one of LeEco’s suppliers, is taking legal action over unpaid bills. LeEco has denied reports it has failed to meet its financial obligations.\n\nAccording to the latest figures from research firm Gartner, sitting third in the global smartphone sales race - behind Samsung and Apple - is Huawei.\n\nAlready the biggest supplier of telecoms infrastructure in Europe, Huawei was one of the early entrants into Western markets - though in the US it was coy. The company made Google's Nexus 6P, released in 2015, but until now hadn't undertaken any serious attempts at pushing its own brand.\n\nHuawei unveiled its Mate 9 phablet at the Las Vegas tech show\n\nThe new Mate 9, a so-called phablet, is the company's first high-end device to be launched in the US. One stand-out feature is a built-in voice assistant.\n\nCuriously, while the company makes its own AI assistant, it has opted to integrate Amazon’s Alexa into this device instead. I wondered if it was because US users might not trust a Chinese firm with such broad data gathering. But Richard Yu, Huawei's chief executive (for the consumer side of things), gave a simpler explanation.\n\n\"Amazon Alexa is the best in this country,” he told me.\n\n\"We want to bring to the consumer the best services. In the China market we have our own - we have no intention to do this [in the US] in the short term.\"\n\nLast year, Huawei had an unexpected gift: Samsung’s devices kept on catching on fire.\n\n\"Their problem has given Huawei more opportunity to be in the market,\" Mr Yu said, though he felt the Mate 9 would have given Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 a run for its money even without the problems.\n\nHe said China deserved its reputation as an imitator in years past, but was quickly shaking off that image.\n\n\"Chinese vendors are getting stronger and stronger on innovation.\n\n\"It's not like 10, 20 years ago where many in China would learn [from the West]. There is more original innovation from China now.\n\nOne Chinese telecoms firm, ZTE, impressed CES crowds with a spot of American basketball - on stilts\n\n\"Thirty years ago China was a very poor country. Like North Korea. Very poor. Nothing.\n\n\"Within 30 years everywhere in China is changing, growing. In Huawei we have huge investment in innovation.\"\n\nThis year he said he expected the company to spend $10bn (£8.1bn) on research and development - roughly in line with Apple.\n\nBut spend isn't everything.

Wife Norma sat alongside, applauding generously.\n\nAt 79, Charlton was not on his feet like others around him as the ball lobbed in off Rooney's right knee. But close by, Sir Alex Ferguson, who paid £27m to buy the then 18-year-old striker from Everton in 2004, was up and applauding.\n\nThe genuine enthusiasm and warmth around the stadium as Rooney celebrated the landmark was an acknowledgement of what he has achieved.\n\nHow has Rooney done it?\n\nThe signs were there from the very start that Rooney's could be a stellar Old Trafford career.\n\nIn his first game following a £27m move from Everton in 2004, he scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in a 6-2 Champions League win.\n\nHe has not looked back since, reaching double figures in every season at the club, including a career-high 34 in all competitions in 2009-10 and 2011-12.\n\nRooney and Charlton are ahead of some of the finest players that Manchester United and British football has known.\n\nCharlton, who came up through the United youth system, spent 17 years at Old Trafford before finishing his career with spells at Preston and Irish side Waterford United.\n\nAnd despite his consistency over such a long period, he never managed to hit the 30-goal mark in a single season, coming closest when he struck 29 times during his third season at Old Trafford.\n\nDespite Rooney's scoring bursts, his goals have not come at the fastest rate. Tommy Taylor, who was a two-time title winner with United in the 1950s, holds that honour, just ahead of former Netherlands international Ruud van Nistelrooy.\n\nRooney's ratio of 0.459 goals per game puts him eighth on the list, while Charlton (0.328) does not even make the top 10.\n\nWhere does Rooney rank in list of Man Utd greats?\n\nRooney has secured his place in Manchester United history and Old Trafford's hall of greats with his record-equalling goalscoring feats.\n\nHowever, he will have to resign himself to never being held in the same esteem, and place of legend, as the likes of Charlton, George Best and Denis Law.\n\nIndeed, despite his lofty place in United's record books, the 31-year-old will never be revered by United's supporters in the same manner as the maverick Old Trafford catalyst Eric Cantona, the great leaders Roy Keane and Bryan Robson, and brilliant home-grown products such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.\n\nThis may seem brutally unfair given his contribution to United's successes, but there are several factors at work when his place in the club's historical affections is measured.\n\nRooney was an expensive import from Merseyside, while Charlton, who survived the 1958 Munich air disaster, led United to their first European Cup in 1968 and stands alongside his great mentor Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson as an iconic Old Trafford figure.\n\nBest and Law came alongside Charlton as United's 'Holy Trinity' as the club emerged from the tragedy of Munich, while Cantona was the great transformer in the early 90s and the likes of Robson and Keane were world-class players and warriors.\n\nRooney's chequered history with the club and its fans will also have an impact on his legacy when his contribution to United - a truly great one when judged solely in a football context - is reflected upon.\n\nIn many eyes, Rooney will never quite be forgiven for the episode in October 2010 when he decided he wanted to leave, then further strained his relationship with club and fans by issuing a statement which effectively said United lacked ambition and questioned the quality of his team-mates.\n\nThis was resolved within days when he signed a new five-year-contract, but the memory has lingered for many. There was another disagreement late in the 2012-13 season as Ferguson prepared for retirement and made it clear Rooney again wanted to leave - a claim that led to the player being jeered by some fans as he collected his title winner's medal at Old Trafford.\n\nFans and those who record history and legends take these matters into account.\n\nWhat must also be remembered is that Rooney has had a stellar United career littered with trophies, brilliance and game-changing moments. He fully deserves to be remembered as one of the greats of Old Trafford.\n\nThere will, however, be many more remembered before him.", "It's almost time to close the book on Barack Obama's eight years as president. Before he relocates to Washington's posh Kalorama neighbourhood, however, here's a take on what he tried to do - and how well he did it.\n\nAlthough there are letter grades attached to each section, these assessments are not a reflection of the wisdom of his actions, only in how well he was able to advance his agenda over the course of his presidency.\n\nWhile a liberal might give his environmental policy high marks, a conservative would likely flunk him. What can't be argued, however, is that he accomplished a considerable amount during his eight years.\n\nGoing unmeasured are a number of Mr Obama's intangible or indirect accomplishments.\n\nWhile the White House sported rainbow-colouring the night after gay marriage became legal nationwide, that was the result of a Supreme Court decision not presidential action. And while Mr Obama often spoke movingly about race relations in the US, particularly after the shooting at a black church in South Carolina, there was little in the way of policy elements accompanying his words.\n\nMr Obama does have an ample record to judge, however. Here's a look at eight key areas - along with consideration of their \"Trump-ability\" - how easy it will be for incoming president Donald Trump to undo what Mr Obama has accomplished.\n\nTell Anthony on Twitter @awzurcher how you would grade Barack Obama's presidency.\n\nComprehensive healthcare reform had been the Democratic Party's holy grail for decades, always seemingly just out of reach. Under Mr Obama, they finally claimed the prize.\n\nDue to an electoral setback in the Senate before the bill's final passage, however, the massive piece of legislation was a half-baked cake, making implementation a challenge. The federal healthcare insurance marketplace website, essentially unusable for months after launch, was a very visible, politically devastating mistake.\n\nTo the surprise of Democrats, many Republican-controlled states opted not to expand Medicaid healthcare coverage for the poor. More recently, insurance premiums for exchange-based policies will increase markedly in some US states - which will be a financial blow to less affluent Americans not covered by government subsidies.\n\nMuch of the law operated as intended, however. The percentage of Americans without insurance dropped from 15.7% in 2011 to to 9.1% in 2015. More than 8.8 million Americans have signed up for coverage through the federal exchange in the current enrolment period - a record high. Insurers can't deny individuals coverage for their pre-existing medical conditions, and there are no lifetime dollar caps on coverage.\n\nDespite its shortcomings, passage of the Affordable Care Act, in the words of Vice-President Joe Biden, was a big expletive-ing deal.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans have been trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act from the moment Mr Obama signed it into law. Mr Trump regularly condemned the programme as a failure. Now, Republicans are setting the wheels in motion to tear up the reforms \"root and branch\", in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's words.\n\nRepublicans will be able to shred the programme even with their slim majority in the Senate thanks to presidential authority and legislative manoeuvres.\n\nEnacting a replacement plan, however, will be more difficult. At the moment, they seem determined to jump off the repeal bridge without figuring out exactly where they will land, but Mr Trump has cautioned his congressional colleagues to be careful with how they go about the task.\n\nMr Obama's administration helped negotiate the Paris climate agreement, in which the US joined 185 countries in pledging to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It enacted a host of new regulations governing pollution from coal-fired power plants and limiting coal mining and oil and gas drilling both on federal lands and in coastal waters. Mr Obama also used his executive authority to designate 548 million acres of territory as protected habitat - more than any prior president.\n\nThe past eight years weren't without missed opportunities, however. Early in his administration, when Democrats had large majorities in Congress, the House of Representatives passed a stringent cap-and-trade programme for controlling carbon emissions. The Senate focused on financial and healthcare reform first, however, and the Democratic majority was gone before they could take action.\n\nThat may be as close as Democrats come to any sort of comprehensive environmental legislation for a great many years.\n\nTrump-ability: US participation in the Paris accord is still uncertain given that the president-elect promised to abandon it. While the withdrawal procedure is supposed to take four years, Mr Trump's team is reportedly searching for ways to speed up the process.\n\nOther Obama-era executive accomplishments, however, will be more difficult to roll back. Proposed regulatory changes will require an extended approval process and are sure to face a flurry of lawsuits from environmental groups. Congress could speed things up, but Democrats in the Senate have enough votes to block their efforts if they stick together.\n\nMr Obama made completion of two major trade agreements - the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - the cornerstone of his second term in office.\n\nThe TPP is destined for the dustbin without even consideration by the US Congress, thanks to a coalition of opposition from Democratic left and the economic nationalists who are sweeping to power with Mr Trump.\n\nThe TTIP, which is still in negotiation and attempts to reduce trade barriers between the US and the EU, is being abandoned by politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nThe Obama administration did successfully implement free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and South Korea, but they are dwarfed by the size and scope of the now-doomed regional deals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump can and will give a death blow to any hopes Mr Obama may have had of cementing a lasting trade legacy through the TPP and TTIP. More than that, the new president is poised to roll back the trade legacies of previous presidents, as he's pledged to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement - which was concluded under President Bill Clinton - or perhaps even withdraw from the deal entirely.\n\nHis promises to enact draconian import tariffs on some foreign goods would also run counter to US commitments to the World Trade Organization, which could undermine the entire foundation of the current global trade regime.\n\nWhen Mr Obama took office, the US economy was in freefall. Unemployment had spiked to double digits, housing prices had collapsed and the financial industry teetered on the brink of collapse.\n\nThe picture eight years later is one of stability and modest growth, although critics will argue that things could be better (and blue-collar Trump voters in the industrial states seemed to agree).\n\nPolicy-wise, Mr Obama pushed through a major stimulus package and financial reform legislation early in his first term. His administration oversaw a support structure that saved General Motors from a bankruptcy that would have devastated the US auto industry.\n\nThe Home Affordable Refinance Program, run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, allowed several million US homeowners to avoid foreclosure and refinance high-interest mortgages.\n\nThe president negotiated an agreement that rolled back many of the George W Bush era tax cuts in exchange for across-the-board spending freezes. He frequently called for a raise in the federal minimum wage, but he was unable to generate any support for such actions in the Republican-controlled Congress.\n\nAlthough the stock market is reaching new highs, 2015 household income is still below what it was in 2007. Considering where his presidency started, however, the current state of economic health is perhaps the president's most noteworthy legacy.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans cutting taxes when they hold power is as certain as the sun rising in the east. Tax-reform, which will likely include a return to Bush-era rates along with even more substantive changes, appear all but certain for passage. Mr Obama's financial reform legislation also could be poised for weakening, as it was frequently the target of Mr Trump's anti-regulation ire.\n\nAlthough conservatives liked to criticise Mr Obama's efforts to bolster US companies as \"picking winners and losers\", early evidence (Carrier, Ford Motors, etc) indicates that's one tradition Mr Trump appears likely to continue, albeit with a sharper edge for businesses that don't comply to his wishes.\n\nMr Obama will leave the White House with two prominent feathers in his foreign policy cap - the Iran nuclear deal and normalised relations with Cuba. Say what you will about the merits of the accomplishments (and many have), they represent a notable thawing in relations between the US and two long-time antagonists.\n\nHe also oversaw the drawdown of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan - fulfilling a key campaign promise.\n\nElsewhere, however, the president's international policy has been characterised by strained relations and festering problems. His planned \"reset\" of US-Russian relations upon taking office was followed by the nation's Ukrainian intervention and allegations of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.\n\nThe Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010 spread unrest throughout the Middle East, culminating in a Syrian Civil War that facilitated the rise of the so-called Islamic State and a devastating refugee crisis that has roiled European politics.\n\nNorth Korea continues to develop its nuclear weapons programme seemingly undeterred, and Mr Obama's plans for an \"Asian pivot\" in US foreign policy have done little to keep Chinese regional ambitions in check.\n\nResponsibility for this global unrest can't all be laid at Mr Obama's feet, of course, but it's a mark on his permanent record nonetheless.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump has criticised the Iranian nuclear deal, although unlike some other Republicans he hasn't vowed to abandon it entirely. He may find renegotiating the multi-party agreement more difficult than he might think. As for Cuba, he has the executive authority to roll back all of Mr Obama's diplomatic overtures to the communist island, including relaxed sanctions and travel restrictions - although he's kept his options open so far.\n\nThe president-elect also seems more likely to favour closer relations to Israel and a renewed attempt at improving relations with Russia (a re-reset). In Syria, he has criticised Mr Obama's actions but hasn't advocated a coherent counter-policy, so there's no telling how - or if - he'll change course.\n\nOne thing is for certain, however. At least rhetorically the Trump administration will be a marked departure from Mr Obama's internationalist foreign policy, which leaned heavily on co-operation and co-ordination with allies.\n\nThe long-term trend of declining crime rates continued over the past eight years, although a number of large cities have seen a recent uptick in their murder rates. While public safety was a 2016 campaign issue, much of Mr Obama's efforts while president were directed at criminal justice reform.\n\nIn 2010 he signed a law that brought the mandatory minimum prison time for crack cocaine possession - which disproportionately involves black drug offenders - more in line with powder cocaine sentences.\n\nIn January 2016, Mr Obama took a series of executive actions to limit the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons and provide greater treatment for inmates with mental health issues. He has also used his presidential power to commute the sentences of more than 1,000 non-violent drug offenders and supported a Justice Department policy that resulted in the early release of about 6,000 individuals.\n\nAlthough Mr Obama has backed bipartisan sentencing reform legislation in Congress, the 2016 presidential election - and Mr Trump's tough-on-crime rhetoric - has been attributed with frustrating those efforts.\n\nGun control wasn't a top priority for Mr Obama when he took office, but in the early months of his second term - after the 2012 mass shooting of schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut - Mr Obama made a strong push for greater restrictions on some types of military-style semi-automatic rifles and more thorough background checks for firearm purchases.\n\nThose efforts ran head-on into the National Rifle Association's formidable lobbying power, however, and aside from a few executive actions, no new policies were enacted. In 2015, Mr Obama told the BBC that his failure in this area was his greatest frustration as president.\n\nTrump-ability: Given that Mr Trump regularly painted a bleak picture of crime levels in the US, lamented that law enforcement was too constrained by \"political correctness\" and opined that prison inmates were being treated too well, it's safe to say he will pursue a decidedly different course on public safety than Mr Obama.\n\nSentencing reform - in limbo for the past year - will be an exceedingly low priority for Republicans in Congress now, and Mr Obama's gun-control executive actions are likely to face the chopping block.\n\nThere was a point, shortly after Mr Obama's re-election in 2012, where comprehensive immigration reform seemed inevitable.\n\nThe president and his fellow Democrats were in favour, and rattled Republicans saw granting permanent residency to some undocumented workers and streamlining the US immigration system as a means to curry favour with the growing bloc of Hispanic voters.\n\nA grass-roots revolt within the Republican Party derailed those plans, prompting Mr Obama to take a series of executive actions providing normalised status to undocumented immigrants who entered the US as children and the immigrant families of US citizens and permanent residents. (The latter policy has since been suspended during a protracted legal battle over its constitutionality.)\n\nWhile these efforts attracted widespread praise from pro-immigration activists and Hispanic groups, the Obama administration's policy of increasing removal of other undocumented immigrants has prompted some to call him the \"deporter in chief\".\n\nFrom 2009 to 2015, the Obama administration deported more than 2.5 million people - most of whom had been convicted of some form of criminal offence or were recent arrivals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump may very well drop the US defence of the portion of Mr Obama's immigration action that's currently under legal challenge. He could also unilaterally resume deportation of others given normalised status by Mr Obama's executive efforts, although that will be more controversial.\n\nThe president-elect has pledged to deport more than three million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US - including visitors who have overstayed their visas - although given Mr Obama's track record it may be a difference of extent, not substance.\n\nAt one point, Mr Trump was pledging to remove everyone not lawfully in the US - more than 11 million by most estimates - which would be a marked departure not just from Mr Obama's policies but those of every modern US president.\n\nWhatever his other successes during his time in office, Mr Obama's presidency was a beating for the Democratic Party.\n\nIn 2009, when Mr Obama was swept to power, Democrats had large majorities in the US Congress and control of 29 of 50 governorships. Since then, he has seen his party's power steadily erode. The House of Representatives has been in Republican hands since 2010; the Senate since 2014. Democrats control the governor's mansion in only 16 states.\n\nThe situation is even more dire in state legislatures - the proving grounds for young politicians with national ambitions. Republicans hold sway in 32 legislatures, while Democrats have majorities in only 12 (the rest are divided).\n\nIf the party doesn't make inroads in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin by 2020, those legislatures will draw congressional district maps that make recapturing the House of Representatives a tall task for Democrats for another decade.\n\nMr Obama's political constituency - young voters and minorities - proved enough to win him the presidency twice, but it was a fragile coalition that could not be counted on in mid-term congressional and legislative elections or, for that matter, by Hillary Clinton last year.\n\nWhile Mr Obama can boast considerable accomplishments over his eight years in office, if his party can't regain its footing after a string of devastating electoral setbacks, he won't have any legacy worth writing about before too long.\n\nTrump-ability: Barring a major political realignment in the liberal fortress of California, things can't get much worse for Democrats at the state level. In Congress, however, Mr Trump has a decent shot at expanding the Republican Senate majority in 2018, given that Democrats have to defend 10 seats in states that Mr Trump won last year.\n\nThere's always the chance that Republicans could overreach in their efforts to enact their agenda. An economic decline or foreign policy fiasco could tank Mr Trump's approval rating and make winners of even unlikely Democrats.\n\nThe durability of Mr Trump's own political coalition of disaffected working-class whites, evangelicals and other traditional Republican voters is still an open question as well. While Republicans may feel the future belongs to them, when Mr Trump's time in the Oval Office comes to an end, there's no telling what kind of grades will his legacy receive.", "Pep Guardiola's first taste of the FA Cup ends triumphantly as Manchester City thrash Premier League rivals West Ham 5-0 in the FA Cup third round at London Stadium.", "\"It takes a special kind of person\" to donate their kidney, Andy said of his friend Helen\n\nAbout 3,000 people have kidney transplants each year in the UK and about a third of these are from living donors. Helen Crowther has given one of her kidneys to her best friend Andy Clewes. He has suffered with chronic kidney disease since birth and has recently started to need dialysis treatment.\n\nWhen Helen first offered Andy her kidney he laughed along, thinking it was a joke.\n\n\"But she really meant it and as I got worse she became more insistent until about 12 months ago she said 'right, I definitely want to do it',\" he said.\n\nHelen's kidney was removed at the Royal Liverpool Hospital on Tuesday morning.\n\nHelen said it \"feels like a privilege\" to be able to give her kidney to her best friend\n\nIt was then \"whisked down the M62\" to Andy in the Manchester Royal Infirmary.\n\n\"The last 12 months have gone so slowly and to finally get to this end point is fantastic,\" the 46-year-old said.\n\n\"I was just on the cusp of dialysis, feeling exhausted all the time and unable to concentrate in work - now I can't wait to get my life back. I'm really excited.\"\n\nAndy, a radio DJ in Macclesfield, said: \"I'm incredibly lucky and grateful. It's hard to put into words such a massive thing... it takes a special kind of person to do this.\"\n\nThe pair are hoping to encourage others to sign up to the organ donor register\n\nBorn a week apart, the pair struck up their friendship in 2006 after meeting at a charity fundraising event. Last year Helen, 46, was Andy's \"best woman\" at his wedding.\n\nHelen, a charity worker from Runcorn, said she thought donating a kidney was \"the obvious thing to do\".\n\n\"I do appreciate it's a huge thing. I just didn't want to see Andy poorly. I was aware you can live well with one kidney so couldn't see why you wouldn't do it.\"\n\nHelen's kidney was removed at the Royal Liverpool Hospital\n\nWhen Andy's mum met Helen for the first time at his wedding and thanked her, she \"was in tears\".\n\n\"It's a bit embarrassing when people are saying you're so brave,\" she said. \"His family were so lovely at the wedding and I was overwhelmed really. I was just doing it as Andy needed to get well. I had the ability to help him.\n\n\"It feels like a privilege. I am just so grateful I can do it.\"\n\nFor Andy, he is planning on getting back to a normal life.\n\n\"I've been restricted physically up to now but the doctors say I'll get a burst of energy.\n\n\"I'm going to want to go off on holiday... to do everything. I think I'm going to be quite annoying.\"\n\nHe said it had made him very aware that others \"aren't so fortunate and rely on the kindness of strangers\" so he hopes his experience will encourage people to become organ donors as they \"really will be changing lives\".\n\nKidneys filter waste products from the blood and convert them to urine.\n\nThese waste products can build up in people whose kidneys fail, which is potentially life-threatening and the reason a transplant is needed.\n\nKidneys are the most common organ donated by a living person and a healthy person can lead a normal life with one working kidney.\n\nBefore 2006, living kidney donation was limited to exchanges between family members and friends but since the UK allowed \"non-directed altruistic donation\" by strangers, more than 500 people have gone ahead with the operation.\n\nThere were 1,035 living kidney donor transplants performed in the UK in 2015/2016 - but as of September 2016, there are 5,338 people waiting for a kidney.\n\nYou can find more information on the NHS Organ Donation website.\n\nAndy said the friends were \"always there for each other\"\n\n\"Nobody wants to see anyone they love on dialysis,\" said Helen. \"This should improve his quality of life. He'll be healthier and that's all I want.\"\n\n\"It's just a couple of months out of my life when I'll feel a bit tired and sore, but for Andy it will be a whole new life.\"\n\nAndy said: \"It's a totally selfless act and she's got a friend for life whether she wants it or not.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nCoverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online.\n\nRafael Nadal reached his first Grand Slam semi-final since 2014 with a superb 6-4 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 victory over Canada's third seed Milos Raonic.\n\nThe 14-time Grand Slam winner, who has been troubled by injuries in recent years, saved six set points in the second set before dominating the third.\n\nNadal, the 2009 champion, faces 15th seed Grigor Dimitrov on Friday after the Bulgarian beat David Goffin.\n\nThe Spaniard, 30, remains on course to meet Roger Federer in Sunday's final.\n\nFederer, 35, will play his fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka in the first semi-final on Thursday.\n\nNadal is attempting to become the first man in the Open era - and only the third man in history after Roy Emerson and Rod Laver - to win each of the four Grand Slam titles twice.\n\nThe ninth seed's victory means six of the eight players in the men's and women's semi-finals are over 30.\n• None Watch day 10 highlights on BBC Two from 16:45 GMT on Wednesday\n\nNadal lost here in the first round to Fernando Verdasco 12 months ago and admitted to wondering if he may never again challenge for major honours.\n\n\"I think I am not a very arrogant person so I always have doubts,\" he said.\n\n\"Even when I was winning I had doubts and even more so when I had injuries.

After his decisive win in the first round of France's Socialist party primary, left-wing rebel, Benoit Hamon is suddenly the centre of attention.\n\nBut what do his rapid rise and eye-catching policies say about the future of the French left?\n\nWith his designer stubble and cheeky grin, the 49-year-old Socialist party rebel has been grabbing more than his share of the limelight over the past few weeks.\n\nThe most left-leaning of the seven initial candidates in the Socialist race, his programme has been built around the radical proposal of a universal monthly payment for all French citizens, regardless of income. He also wants to legalise cannabis, to tax the wealth created by robots and to ditch the labour law passed last year that made it easier to hire and fire.\n\nThe income plan he has outlined would be put into effect in three stages.\n\nCritics have pilloried the plan as unworkable, estimating its cost at between €300-€400bn.\n\nIt's true that Mr Hamon has been short on detail when it comes to how his vision for France would be funded. But that doesn't seem to have affected his popularity among left-wing voters.\n\nBy finishing several points ahead of former Prime Minister Manuel Valls during the first round of voting on Sunday, Mr Hamon has drawn attention to some important questions for France's ruling left-wing party: most obviously, the deep split between the Socialist party's left-wing supporters and the more liberal, centrist line taken by the current Socialist government.\n\nManuel Valls was the prime minister who pushed through some of that government's most unpopular labour reforms and security measures. That left a rift with the party that may force him out of the presidential race in the run-off on Sunday.\n\nBenoit Hamon is going into round two in a strong position, having secured the support of fellow left-winger Arnaud Montebourg, who came third in the first round.\n\nBenoit Hamon (L) resigned as a minister with Arnaud Montebourg in 2014 after they called for an end to austerity\n\nIf Mr Hamon wins, it will reorient the Socialist party away from the centre of French politics, and back to its traditional left-wing positions.\n\nThat may not help him much during the presidential race. Whoever wins the Socialist nomination is tipped to come fifth, according to the opinion polls.\n\nBut it could have two important consequences for France.\n\nA nomination for Mr Hamon is likely to funnel centrist votes towards liberal former banker Emmanuel Macron, whose growing popularity is starting to worry the far-right National Front (FN), which is now banking on a place in the second round of the presidential poll.\n\nFrancois Fillon, Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron are leading the field in the presidential race\n\nAnd, even as the populist campaigns gather speed in France, the appearance of Benoit Hamon at the head of the Socialist campaign could also signal a return to the politics of a previous era.\n\nFor years France's established parties have drifted to the centre ground and voter apathy has grown.\n\nBut now voters already have the prospect of an old-school Catholic conservative heading the main right-wing Republican party. And if Benoit Hamon wins the Socialist nomination on Sunday, the main left-wing party will once again embrace its traditional positions on workers' rights, redistribution, civil liberties and the environment.", "It was only yesterday that the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, told MPs it just might all be a bit tricky to have a White Paper, a formal document outlining the government's plans for Brexit, and stick to the timetable they want to pursue.\n\nRebel Remainers though were \"delighted\", that, stealing Jeremy Corbyn's thunder, a planted question from a loyal Tory MP at PMQs today produced in fact a promise from the Prime Minister that, after all, there will be a White Paper.\n\nIt is a climbdown, no question, a last-minute change of heart.\n\nLate last night Brexiteers were being assured there would be no bending, no delay to the government's plans and no giving in to the Remainers.\n\nEven early this morning, government sources were privately suggesting that they were quite happy to have the white paper option up their sleeve, but there were no immediate plans to make that promise.\n\nThen voila, at 1205 GMT, the pledge of a white paper suddenly emerged. As one senior Tory joked, \"welcome to the vacillation of the next two years\".\n\nIt may be being described as a \"massive, unplanned\" concession but it doesn't seriously hurt the government.\n\nFirst off, it shows goodwill to the rebel Tory Remainers, many of whom feel their Eurosceptic rivals have had the upper hand of late. Schmoozing matters round these parts.\n\nIt takes one of the potential arguments that could have gathered pace off the table, before the Article 50 bill is even published. And, rightly or wrongly, no one expects a white paper will contain anything new that the prime minister has not yet already said.\n\nIt's largely a victory for the Remainers about process, rather than substance.\n\nFor her critics this is evidence of weakness, that's she has been pushed into changing her mind.\n\nBut it doesn't need to change the government's timetable, and today's embarrassment of a climbdown might be worth the goodwill that Number 10 will get in return.", "A factory in China is cashing on the inauguration of the new US president as the Year of the Rooster approaches.", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "\"Incredible!\" \"Glorious!\" \"Magnificent!\" - The hype surrounding La La Land has been difficult to miss.\n\nIn addition to all the critical praise, the film is dominating awards season - equalling the all-time record held by Titanic and All About Eve for the most Oscar nominations.\n\nBut now many moviegoers are coming forward to say - or rather whisper - that they just didn't get it.\n\nI was one such moviegoer who was desperate to see it - but left feeling somewhat disappointed.\n\nLa La Land's posters have made much of the rave reviews\n\nI'm keen to stress I don't think La La Land is a bad movie. Far from it - the songs are catchy and it's beautifully filmed.\n\nBut after the acres of five-star reviews, I came away feeling it had been somewhat overhyped.\n\nJudging by our inbox after the Oscar nominations on Tuesday - there are other film fans who felt the same way.\n\n\"I could not agree more with those who criticised La La Land - absolutely dreadful film. The direction was immature and the film lacked any pace, leaving aside the fairly abysmal singing and dancing.\" - Leslie\n\n\"Somehow, I think the critics and the Academy members have been in La La Land. Saw it Sunday and although I didn't hate it I just can't see what all the fuss is about.\" - Graham\n\n\"Very weak storyline. Music and singing not on a par with any of the great musicals. Just wanted it to end! When will the critics actually be honest about a film? Five star this, five star that... it would barely get a two in my opinion.\" - Nigel\n\nIt's not unusual for the films which float around during awards season to be popular with critics, but less so with the general public.\n\nIndeed, there is a school of thought popular with marketing researchers that it is actively necessary for a film to split opinion in order for it to be successful.\n\nOscar Wilde certainly believed that, famously stating: \"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.\"\n\nTitanic seemed to prove this theory - despite having an effect on audiences similar to Marmite, it went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time (since beaten by Avatar) and scooped the Oscar for best picture in 1997.\n\nThe last musical to win best picture was 2002's Chicago - starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger.\n\nI distinctly remember going to see it at the cinema and being bowled over by how good it was. The acting, the editing and the songs all blended together to make an almost-perfect film.\n\nThe subsequent success of movies such as Mamma Mia and Pitch Perfect prove that audiences are more than willing to go and see musicals on the big screen.\n\nBut while those films are fairly mainstream, feel-good box office fodder, La La Land has been criticised for not quite delivering what it advertises.\n\nIn the film's ubiquitous promotional image, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are seen dancing together against a purple skyline. The vibrant colours make it look young, appealing, glamorous.\n\nMany of the film's reviews reinforce its image as a Hollywood love story. \"A gorgeously romantic modern-day musical\" is how the i paper described it.\n\nBut the film is actually far from romantic - lacking the traditional happy ending which would've seen Gosling and Stone's characters end up together.\n\nPersonally I thought not being predictable is actually one of La La Land's best qualities, I was pleasantly surprised that its ending took an unexpected route.\n\nMy issue was more that it simply didn't quite live up to the months of build-up and promotion and subsequent awards success - it has already broken the record for the most Golden Globe Awards in history.\n\nThe film has been roundly praised by critics\n\nOf course, a bit of a backlash is inevitable for any pop culture product once its success has gone stratospheric.\n\nIt is always difficult for any film, album, book or TV show to live up to expectations once it's been so highly praised.\n\nIf I had gone into the cinema with no expectations, I probably would have come away from it with a better opinion than I did having gone in with such high expectations.\n\nWhen I saw Chicago, I was 15 years old and paid no attention to reviews or hype - and I enjoyed the film so much more as a result.\n\nSome film fans have taken issue with the fact that a movie about jazz is fronted by two white actors, while others say the script is weak and that Gosling and Stone's singing talents are questionable.\n\nThe Spectator's Deborah Ross - one of the few critics to strike a slightly more dissenting note - said the songs had \"lyrics I couldn't make out for the life of me\" - but, as she and most other critics agree, the songs themselves are impossibly catchy.\n\nIt would be hard to argue La La Land is a bad film - it just doesn't quite do what it says on the tin.\n\nMy advice to those who haven't seen it would be to ignore the reviews, go in with a clear mind and just enjoy it as a perfectly nice but unspectacular film.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

McQueen's film won best picture but he lost the best director prize to Gravity's Alfonso Cuaron.\n\nIn the documentary feature category, Ava DuVernay's 13th is up against I Am Not Your Negro from Raoul Peck and Ezra Edelman's OJ: Made In America.

You see him now - he is calm and in control\n\nThey have been sixth after every round of matches since the end of October and stayed in that position after the 1-1 draw at Stoke on 21 January, when Rooney scored an injury-time equaliser to become United's record goalscorer, with 250.\n\nNevertheless, Ferguson can see signs of progress under the Portuguese. And though Chelsea are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League - and 14 points ahead of the Old Trafford club - he believes his former side are \"unlucky\" not to be up there with them.\n\n\"You can see he has got to grips with the club,\" he said.\n\n\"The team is playing really well and he has been very unlucky. He has had six 1-1 draws and in every game he has battered the opposition.\n\n\"If they hadn't had all these draws, they would be there challenging Chelsea. That is the unfortunate part but he is going to have to live with that.\"\n\n'The team is mirroring its manager'\n\nMourinho has been sent to the stands twice this season, against Burnley and West Ham, as his side struggled to overcome supposedly inferior opposition at Old Trafford.\n\nThe former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager seems far more relaxed now though.\n\nUnited go to Hull on Thursday for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final unbeaten in 17 games. That run encompassed nine successive wins, including a 2-0 triumph in the first leg at Old Trafford, their longest-winning sequence since Ferguson called time on his illustrious career.\n\nFerguson said: \"I was a little bit different from Jose in the respect that I wanted to build the football club and wanted young players to be part of that.\n\n\"Nonetheless, the first team weren't doing great and you have to find solutions to correct that. I think Jose is finding solutions now. There was a period earlier in the season when he wasn't getting the decisions and his emotions boiled over. You see him now - he is calm and in control.\n\n\"That is the obvious observation I am making of the team now. The team is mirroring its manager.\n\n\"On Saturday at Stoke, they played to the last kick of the ball. They never gave in and got their rewards to take something from the game with that great Rooney goal.\n\n\"And did you see what he did? Ran to the halfway line. No celebration. Pointed to the ball as if to say 'get it, we are going to win this'. That is exactly the spirit Jose has created.\"\n\nSir Bobby Charlton's club record of 249 Manchester United goals had stood for 44 years until Rooney went past it at the Britannia Stadium.\n\nCharlton amassed his tally in 758 appearances for the club. Rooney, 31, has gone one better in 546 games since moving from Everton for £27m as an 18-year-old in 2004.\n\nWith the chance to score even more this season and a contract that runs to 2018 if the Liverpool-born player remains at Old Trafford until its conclusion, Rooney has set a record that is unlikely ever to be beaten, according to Ferguson.\n\n\"In the present-day game, it is difficult to see any club having players who can stay with them for 10 years.\n\n\"Jose has mentioned Marcus Rashford and there is an opportunity for that young lad, if he stays at United, and develops his potential the way that Wayne has. But it is a very big target to hit.\n\n\"Bobby Charlton's record was quite substantial. I couldn't think anybody would beat that. It is an achievement par excellence.\"\n\nIt is nearly four years now since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down as manager of Manchester United, yet the ease with which he skipped from room to room to conduct interviews at a Cheshire hotel on Tuesday suggests that, at 75, he remains as enthusiastic for life as ever.\n\nThere is no longer the same hint of menace about him if the questions are not to his satisfaction, although I suspect if I had strayed off topic, I might have got a mild blast of the famous hair dryer.\n\nBut Ferguson remains engaging company. Far different to the combustible figure who dominated the touchline and harangued anyone who got in his - and United's - way.\n\nThese days a funny story usually close at hand. Today, it concerned the mother of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, who, Ferguson recalled, pleaded with him over the phone not to take away \"my boy\" as negotiations over Rooney's £27m move from Everton drew to a close in 2004.", "Anna Maria Bak, 27, is Polish and works in A&E at Colchester General Hospital. Here, photographer Ed Gold takes a snapshot of her life in Britain.\n\n\"I came to the UK for the first time in 2010. I had studied English philology at university in the Polish town of Krosno. Philology is the study of language in historical literature and I learnt a lot about Great Britain. I wanted a new challenge in my life and decided to try my luck abroad.\n\n\"My friend and I rented a room for two weeks in Stratford in London. We were supposed to earn money but we lost it instead by paying for too many travel tickets.\n\n\"I moved back to Poland for another year but I'm tough. My surname Bak means bumblebee in Polish. We are fighters because we've been through hard times.\n\n\"I was lucky when I returned to England as I got a job at the Italian restaurant Carluccio's. I had a friend working there as a waiter. I learnt a lot about customer service. People are more polite in the UK than in Poland.\n\n\"I left that job as it was only part-time and I couldn't afford my Oyster card and rent. I was in debt. I then found a Polish woman on the internet who was finding jobs for people in nursing homes, but she ripped me off and took £70 from me for certificates I never needed.\n\n\"Still we have a saying in Poland, 'If you have enough oil in your head' - it means if you have enough intelligence, you will make it work.\n\n\"I found myself a job at a nursing home. I did that for two years in north London. I remember a patient asking me 'Where they could spend a penny?' and I asked them what did they want to buy?\n\n\"I wanted a more challenging job so I moved to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, working as an admin assistant in the radiology department. Now I'm working in the A&E at Colchester General Hospital. I'm really happy to work in health as I make a difference. I go the extra mile.\n\n\"The Polish NHS is not too bad but I think the quality of care provided in the English hospitals is much higher. The staff are always friendly and helpful and patients get treated with respect and dignity. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Polish hospitals. I've been a patient in Poland and found communication between staff and patient to be very poor.\n\n\"Renting is much cheaper outside London and my quality of life is higher in Colchester. I am careful with my money and saving up so that I can buy a house one day.\n\n\"Everything costs less in the UK, even the food. I really like The Body Shop - it is mission impossible to get those cosmetics in Poland. Plus in Poland you earn a third of what you can here.\n\n\"I also love the full English breakfast - it's the best breakfast ever. Usually for Polish breakfast you'd have cottage cheese, fresh bread and butter but you wouldn't get that protein boost in the morning - a full English keeps you going for hours. I do miss the Polish food though and the snow we get in winter.\n\n\"It's hard though being miles away from my mum. I send her parcels full of goodies like food and cosmetics twice a year. Recently I've been sending hats to her because she is ill. I know how to deal with stress at work but I cry at home when I hear bad news about mum.\n\n\"I live with my flat mate Zelda, who is from Latvia. I have friends from all over the world - it's one thing I really like about living in the UK. I met Zelda at work. We like to watch movies and eat Chinese takeaways. We don't have much time to go out but we're planning to. We'd normally go out to a local pub and then find somewhere to dance. I like my flat and feel very comfortable here.\n\n\"I haven't seen things change because of Brexit and I've never suffered racism.\n\n\"No-one has the right to say to me 'You're out of the UK', because I pay my taxes, I'm not here just to make money. It really bugs me if people come here from abroad who claim benefits after three months and have access to the free health service. I think to be here from abroad you should pay taxes.\n\n\"I get on better with English people now than Polish people and I think in English. Although I was born in Poland and have a Polish passport, I've found it easier to live here than other Poles as I've adapted to British society so well.\n\n\"I will apply for citizenship in Britain but only when I get enough money.

What exactly is an executive order, and how significant are they to a president's legacy?\n\nOne of the first ways a new president is able to exercise political power is through unilateral executive orders.\n\nWhile legislative efforts take time, a swipe of the pen from the White House can often enact broad changes in government policy and practice.\n\nPresident Donald Trump has wasted little time in taking advantage of this privilege.\n\nGiven his predecessor's reliance on executive orders to circumvent Congress in the later days of his presidency, he has a broad range of areas in which to flex his muscle.\n\nHere's a look at some of what Mr Trump has done so far:\n\nMr Trump signed the order at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) undoing a key part of the Obama administration's efforts to tackle global warming.\n\nThe order reverses the Clean Power Plan, which had required states to regulate power plants, but had been on hold while being challenged in court.\n\nBefore signing the order, a White House official told the press that Mr Trump does believe in human-caused climate change, but that the order was necessary to ensure American energy independence and jobs.\n\nEnvironmental groups warn that undoing those regulations will have serious consequences at home and abroad.\n\n\"I think it is a climate destruction plan in place of a climate action plan,\" the Natural Resources Defense Council's David Doniger told the BBC, adding that they will fight the president in court.\n\nImmediate impact: A coalition of 17 states filed a legal challenge against the Trump administration's decision to roll back climate change regulations. The challenge, led by New York state, argued that the administration has a legal obligation to regulate emissions of the gases believed to cause global climate change. Mars Inc, Staples and The Gap are among US corporations who are also challenging Mr Trump's reversal on climate change policy.\n\nAfter an angry weekend in Florida in which he accused former-president Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower, Mr Trump returned to the White House to sign a revised version of his controversial travel ban.\n\nThe executive order titled \"protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States\" was signed out of the view of the White House press corps on 6 March.\n\nThe order's new language is intended to skirt the legal pitfalls that caused his first travel ban to be halted by the court system.\n\nImmediate impact: Soon after the order was signed, it was once again blocked by a federal judge, this time in Hawaii.\n\nSurrounded by farmers and Republican lawmakers, Mr Trump signed an order on 28 February directing the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers to reconsider a rule issued by President Obama.\n\nThe 2015 regulation - known as the Waters of the United States rule - gave authority to the federal government over small waterways, including wetlands, headwaters and small ponds.\n\nThe rule required Clean Water Act permits for any developer that wished to alter or damage these relatively small water resources, which the president described as \"puddles\" in his signing remarks.\n\nOpponents of Mr Obama's rule, including industry leaders, condemned it as a massive power grab by Washington.\n\nScott Pruitt, Mr Trump's pick to lead the EPA, will now begin the task of rewriting the rule, and a new draft is not expected for several years.\n\nImmediate impact: The EPA has been ordered to rewrite, or even repeal the rule, but first it must be reviewed. Water protection laws were passed by Congress long before Mr Obama's rule was announced, so it cannot simply be undone with the stroke of a pen. Instead the EPA must re-evaluate how to interpret the 1972 Clean Water Act.\n\nA bill the president signed on 16 February put an end to an Obama-era regulation that aimed at protecting waterways from coal mining waste.\n\nSenator Mitch McConnell had called the rule an \"attack on coal miners\".\n\nThe US Interior Department, which reportedly spent years drawing up the regulation before it was issued in December, had said it would protect 6,000 miles of streams and 52,000 acres of forests.\n\nAn attempt to cut down on the burden of small businesses.\n\nDescribed as a \"two-out, one-in\" approach, the order asked government departments that request a new regulation to specify two other regulations they will drop.\n\nThe Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will manage the regulations and is expected to be led by the Republican Mick Mulvaney.\n\nSome categories of regulation will be exempt from the \"two-out, one-in\" clause - such as those dealing with the military and national security and \"any other category of regulations exempted by the Director\".\n\nImmediate impact: Wait and see.\n\nProbably his most controversial action, so far, taken to keep the country safe from terrorists, the president said.\n\nThe effect was felt at airports in the US and around the world as people were stopped boarding US-bound flights or held when they landed in the US.\n\nImmediate impact: Enacted pretty much straight away. But there are battles ahead. Federal judges brought a halt to deportations, and legal rulings appear to have put an end to the travel ban - much to the president's displeasure.\n\nA fence is already in place along much of the US-Mexico border\n\nOn Mr Trump's first day as a presidential candidate in June 2015, he made securing the border with Mexico a priority.\n\nHe pledged repeatedly at rallies to \"build the wall\" along the southern border, saying it would be \"big, beautiful, and powerful\".\n\nNow he has signed a pair of executive orders designed to fulfil that campaign promise.\n\nOne order declares that the US will create \"a contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier\".\n\nThe second order pledges to hire 10,000 more immigration officers, and to revoke federal grant money from so-called \"sanctuary cities\" which refuse to deport undocumented immigrants.\n\nIt remains to be seen how Mr Trump will pay for the wall, although he has repeatedly insisted that it will be fully paid for by the Mexican government, despite their leaders saying otherwise.\n\nImmediate impact: The Department of Homeland Security has a \"small\" amount of money available (about $100m) to use immediately, but that won't get them very far. Construction of the wall will cost billions of dollars - money that Congress will need to approve. Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Republican-led Congress will need to come up with $12-$15bn more, and the funding fight - and any construction - will come up against issues with harsh terrain, private land owners and opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans.\n\nThe department will also need additional funds from Congress to hire more immigration officers, but the order will direct the head of the agency to start changing deportation priorities. Cities targeted by the threat to remove federal grants will likely build legal challenges, but without a court injunction, the money can be removed.\n\nThe Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, along with Arizona Democrat Raul Graijalva, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.\n\nThey argue the Department of Homeland Security is required to draft a new environmental review of the impacts of the wall and other border enforcement activities as it could damage public lands.\n\nWith the stroke of a pen...\n\nOn his second full working day, the president signed two orders to advance construction of two controversial pipelines - the Keystone XL and Dakota Access.\n\nMr Trump told reporters the terms of both deals would be renegotiated, and using American steel was a requirement.\n\nKeystone, a 1,179-mile (1,897km) pipeline running from Canada to US refineries in the Gulf Coast, was halted by President Barack Obama in 2015 due to concerns over the message it would send about climate change.\n\nThe second pipeline was halted last year as the Army looked at other routes, amid huge protests by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe at a North Dakota site.\n\nImmediate impact: Mr Trump has granted a permit to TransCanada, the Keystone XL builder, to move forward with the controversial pipeline. As a result, TransCanada will drop an arbitration claim for $15bn in damages it filed under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mr Trump made no mention of an American steel requirement. Construction will not start until the company obtains a permit from Nebraska's Public Service Commission.\n\nThe Dakota Access pipeline has since been filled with oil and the company is in the process of preparing to begin moving oil.\n\nIn one of his first actions as president, Mr Trump issued a multi-paragraph directive to the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies involved in managing the nation's healthcare system.\n\nThe order states that agencies must \"waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay\" any portions of the Affordable Care Act that creates financial burden on states, individuals or healthcare providers.\n\nAlthough the order technically does not authorise any powers the executive agencies do not already have, it's viewed as a clear signal that the Trump administration will be rolling back Obama-era healthcare regulations wherever possible.\n\nImmediate impact: Republicans failed to secure an overhaul of the US healthcare system due to a lack of support for the legislation. That means Mr Trump's executive order is one of the only remaining efforts to undermine Obamacare.\n\nAbortion activists were among the many protesters that came out against Trump's presidency one day after his inauguration\n\nWhat's called the Mexico City policy, first implemented in 1984 under Republican President Ronald Reagan, prevents foreign non-governmental organisations that receive any US cash from \"providing counselling or referrals for abortion or advocating for access to abortion services in their country\", even if they do so with other funding.\n\nThe ban, derided as a \"global gag rule\" by its critics, has been the subject of a political tug-of-war ever since its inception, with every Democratic president rescinding the measure, and every Republican bringing it back.\n\nAnti-abortion activists expected Mr Trump to act quickly on this - and he didn't disappoint them.\n\nImmediate impact: The policy will come into force as soon as the Secretaries of State and Heath write an implementation plan and apply to both renewals and new grants. The US State Department has notified the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that US funding for United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) would be withdrawn, arguing that it supports coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation. The agency has denied this, pointing to examples of its life-saving work in more than 150 countries and territories.\n\nThis policy will be much broader than the last time the rule was in place - the Guttmacher Institute, Kaiser Family Foundation and Population Action International believe the order, as written, will apply to all global health funding by the US, instead of only reproductive health or family planning.\n\nThe TPP pact would have affected 40% of global trade.\n\nThe Trans-Pacific Partnership, once viewed as the crown jewel of Barack Obama's international trade policy, was a regular punching bag for Mr Trump on the campaign trail (although he at times seemed uncertain about what nations were actually involved).\n\nThe deal was never approved by Congress so it had yet to go into effect in the US.\n\nTherefore the formal \"withdrawal\" is more akin to a decision on the part of the US to end ongoing international negotiations and let the deal wither and die.\n\nImmediate impact: Takes effect immediately.

By the age of 11 she was a gymnastics champion - having fallen in love with the sport after watching Dominique Moceanu win a gold medal for the US at the 1996 Olympics. And it turned out the two had a lot more in common than athletic talent.\n\nWrapped in a loop of red silk suspended from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground - a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs.\n\nJennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a radiant smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket, they refused.\n\nJennifer soon learned to walk - and run - on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline with her three older brothers. \"They encouraged all of that by having me jump off everything and scare everybody half to death,\" she says.\n\nAt the age of three she was fitted with prosthetic legs, but she never really took to them - she moved more freely without.\n\nAt school Jennifer loved competing in ball games. \"I was right there with everyone else,\" she says. \"My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.\"\n\nThe Brickers had always been open with her about her adoption. \"I knew that I was Romanian and that probably a good reason why I was given up for adoption was because I didn't have legs,\" says Jennifer.\n\nSharon and Gerald even encouraged her to understand her birth parents - Romanian immigrants to the US who had given her up on the day she was born. \"You didn't walk in their shoes so you really don't know what was going on in their life. They were from a different country. They had a different mindset,\" they would explain.\n\nAt the same time, they made sure she felt loved and wanted, telling her she was the answer to their prayers.\n\nJennifer grew up in a tiny community in Illinois. The first time she saw a fellow Romanian was on TV. It was 1996 and the Olympic Games were taking place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team, but there was one member of the team she especially idolised - 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu. She was only six years older, and, as Jennifer puts it, \"very small\" like her.\n\n\"I was drawn to her because we looked alike and that was so important to me,\" says Jennifer. \"No-one looked like me growing up. I didn't know any other Romanian people. I just saw myself in her in so many ways and that was a big deal for me.\"\n\nDominique Moceanu during the Women's Beam event in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia\n\nMoceanu and the women's team went on to win gold, and it was at that moment Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability. \"That way when I compete, I know that it's legit,\" she says.\n\nShe remembers spectators being surprised when they saw her: \"Wow, this girl doesn't have legs - is she competing?\"\n\n\"But the love, the support when I did compete was amazing,\" she says. \"They would always applaud and cheer because I made sure that there were no exceptions made for me - nothing.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nAt the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.\n\nJennifer continued to follow the ups and downs of her idol, who was now making headlines for different reasons. In 1998, when Dominique was 17, she took her parents to court, accusing them of mis-spending $1m of her post-Olympic earnings. During the court case, stories came out about her father's harsh treatment of her. She succeeded in legally breaking free from her parents and taking control of her own finances.\n\nDominique Moceanu takes an oath in court with her father in the background\n\nWhen Jennifer was 16 she asked her mother if there was anything they hadn't told her about her birth family. She really wasn't expecting her to say, \"Yes,\" because her parents had always been so open. But to her surprise, her mother did have something important to tell her. She sat her down and said: \"Your biological last name would have been Moceanu.\"\n\nThere was no doubting what that meant. \"Immediately when she said that I was like, 'Wow, that means Dominique's my sister,'\" says Jennifer.\n\nThe Brickers had found out purely by accident. Jennifer's was meant to have been a closed adoption, but her birth parents' names appeared on some documents. Then, during the 1996 Olympics, the TV cameras had cut to Dominique's mother Camelia and father Dumitru in the crowd. As their names flashed up on the screen, the Brickers realised they were looking at Jennifer's parents. But they decided not to tell their daughter until she was older.\n\nWhen she found out, Jennifer wanted to get in touch with Dominique, but she was determined to do it properly. \"I couldn't just call her and say 'Hey, I'm your sister' - I didn't want her to think I was crazy.\" Her uncle happened to be a private investigator so she asked him to contact her biological parents. They didn't deny putting her up for adoption, but after that first phone call they no longer responded. \"It was clear they wanted to continue keeping me a secret,\" she says.\n\nFour years later, Jennifer wrote her sister a letter, explaining the situation and telling her how she had inspired her to take up gymnastics.\n\n\"I almost could not believe it myself, you had been my idol my whole life, and you turned out to be my sister!\" she wrote.\n\nShe included copies of all the documentation she had and lots of photographs - all from the waist up. \"I instinctively made the choice not to tell her I didn't have legs because I thought it might be a little bit much,\" explains Jennifer. \"She's already finding out she has a sister she didn't know about. I'll just wait and tell her about the no legs afterwards.\"\n\nBy now, Dominique was 26 years old and no longer competing professionally. It was a busy time in her life. She had married a fellow athlete and they were expecting their first child. She was trying to finish her college exams before giving birth. On 10 December 2007, after finishing a statistics exam, Dominique drove to the post office to collect a package.\n\nShe tore open the envelope when she got back to the car - the first thing she saw were some court documents with her parents' signatures. That piqued her interest. Then she shifted her attention to the photographs of a girl who looked just like her younger sister, Christina. \"The resemblance was unbelievable,\" she says. Finally she turned to the neatly-typed letter. One sentence leapt out at her: \"My biological last name is Moceanu.\"\n\n\"That letter was the biggest shock of my life and I'll never forget it,\" says Dominique.\n\nShe needed to know if it was true. Still sitting in her car, she called her mother, who lived a few time zones away, and woke her up with the words: \"Did you give up a baby girl for adoption in 1987?\"\n\n\"She had the wake-up call of her life - it was just so blunt,\" she admits.\n\nHer mother burst into tears. She said \"Yes\" but could barely say anything else.\n\n\"My heart broke for her because she had to keep this a secret for all these years and she could never have had the opportunity to deal with it,\" says Dominique.\n\nThe next few weeks were an emotional rollercoaster. Dominique wrote back to Jennifer, asking for time to process the news and explaining that she was about to have a baby.\n\n\"I needed to answer some of my own questions and figure out how this could have happened,\" says Dominique.\n\nAt the time her father was very ill so it was difficult to communicate with him, but Dominique found out that he had made the decision to give Jennifer up at the hospital out of fear that they would not be able to pay her medical bills. Her mother had not had a say in it, and had never even got the chance to hold her.\n\nDominique's own daughter was born on Christmas Day and a few weeks later, on 14 January, she felt ready to call her sister for the first time. She was nervous and had even prepared notes, but the conversation soon flowed.\n\nThen Jennifer bit the bullet. \"By the way, you know I don't have legs right?\" she said.\n\nDominique was stunned into silence. How did this fit with what she knew?\n\n\"She told me that I was the reason she started gymnastics, and I thought that was a beautiful thing,\" says Dominique. \"I never imagined she would do all of these sports without having legs.\"\n\nThat spring, Dominique, Jennifer and their younger sister Christina met for the first time in Ohio, where Dominique lived.\n\n\"On one hand it was surreal and a bit like a dream,\" says Jennifer. \"But on the other hand it was very natural. The DNA was very clear at that point. When I met my younger sister it was like looking in a mirror.\"\n\nThe sisters marvelled at all the things they had in common - the way they laughed, even certain hand gestures - but when they spoke about their upbringing, their stories could not have been more different.\n\n\"They did not have the love and support that I had. They had some abuse and turmoil and secrets so it was not an easy childhood for them,\" says Jennifer.\n\nThe Moceanus, themselves former gymnasts, had come to the US in 1981, after fleeing the Ceausescu regime in Romania. Dominique was born shortly after they arrived, and they dreamed she would be the next Nadia Comaneci.\n\nWhen she was six months old they hung her on the washing line to test her strength - she held on until the line broke. \"That was a sign to them I'd be a great gymnast,\" says Dominique. It was a story her father loved to tell - unfortunately the training methods he and the coaches espoused were a hangover from the communist era.\n\nDominique says she was constantly humiliated and berated about her weight and any shortcomings in her performance. \"People thought these measures were the way you had to succeed,\" she says. \"But those kinds of things are really damaging to the self-esteem when you're a young, growing, pre-pubescent child.\" There was also the threat of physical punishment from her father if her performance was not up to scratch. He was an authoritarian figure who dominated the household.\n\n\"We all agree that it would not have been a great childhood environment for me to grow up in,\" says Jennifer.\n\n\"My parents had never been around many children with disabilities,\" says Dominique.\n\nTheir father died before Jennifer could meet him, but in January 2010, at the age of 22, she met her biological mother, Camelia, for the first time.\n\n\"I remember it in slow motion,\" says Jennifer.\n\n\"She was wearing a fur hat - it was such a stereotypical Eastern European thing.\n\n\"She couldn't believe how much I looked like my sisters and so she was instinctively speaking in Romanian.\" Dominique had to translate for her mother, who was too stunned to switch to English.\n\nThe women hugged, and Jennifer showed her videos of her performances, including a trampoline act she had performed on tour with Britney Spears. \"She was so amazed and she knew that she could have never given me that life,\" she says.\n\nJennifer felt no anger towards her. She credits her adoptive parents for this. \"They gave me the freedom not to be bitter,\" she says.\n\nJennifer with her parents, Sharon and Gerald Bricker\n\nIn fact, she says her heart went out to her mother.\n\n\"You know, my biological mother was very much a victim of an abusive marriage,\" she says. \"She did not have an easy life - and that's not me making an excuse for her, that's just the truth.\"\n\nThe sisters live in separate states but try to see each other when they can, making up for lost time. Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and performs as an aerial acrobat.\n\n\"She's wonderful, she's up there in the air and you can see her passion,\" says Dominique. \"I'm proud of her as an older sister - she's really living her dreams.\"\n\nListen to Dominique and Jennifer speak to Outlook on the BBC World Service\n\nImages of Jennifer Bricker taken from Everything is Possible by Jen Bricker with Sheryl Berk.

This was President Obama's broad-based strategy to cut carbon emissions.\n\nThe brief White House document now contains a further indication of the green priorities of the new administration. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), should focus on its \"essential mission of protecting our air and water\".\n\nThe Twitter account of Badlands National Park has seen a number of tweets relating to climate change deleted\n\nWhile the administration figures out how to achieve that re-focus, staff at the EPA have been told to freeze all grant making, and to be quiet about it. This means that no external press releases will be issued and no social media posts will be permitted. It is unclear when these restrictions will be lifted.\n\nReports from news agencies indicate that the roll-back will not stop there, with climate information pages hosted by the EPA expected to be shut down.\n\n\"My guess is the web pages will be taken down, but the links and information will be available,\" the prominent climate sceptic and adviser to the Trump transition team, Myron Ebell, told Reuters.\n\n\"If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear,\" said an anonymous EPA staff member, according to reports.\n\nThe Trump team has also taken immediate steps to push forward with two controversial oil pipelines.\n\nSo are all these moves evidence of a malevolent mindset, determined to crush all this snowflake climate change chatter?\n\nDefinitely, according to Alden Meyer, a veteran climate campaigner with the Union of Concerned Scientists.\n\n\"President Trump and his team are pursuing what I call a 'control-alt-delete' strategy: control the scientists in the federal agencies, alter science-based policies to fit their narrow ideological agenda, and delete scientific information from government websites,\" told BBC News.\n\n\"This is an across-the-board strategy that we are seeing at multiple federal agencies on a range of issues, though climate denialism is clearly the point of the spear.\"\n\nNot according to White House spokesman Sean Spicer.\n\n\"I don't think it's any surprise that when there's an administration turnover, that we're going to review the policy,\" he said.\n\nHowever the disappearance of tweets of basic climate change information from the Badlands National Park Twitter account has raised serious concerns that the Trump team is not just seeking to roll back regulation, but is also taking an ideological stand against what they might see as \"warmist\" propaganda.\n\nProtesters have maintained a long-term presence to stall progress on the Dakota Access Pipeline\n\nBack in 2009, President Obama enacted rules that federal agencies should have scientific integrity policies, that guaranteed the rights of free speech of employees, following on from the gagging of some researchers and the altering of reports under the Bush administration.\n\nWhile the current steps being taken by the Trump team may turn out to be less restrictive than feared, on this side of the pond there's a great deal of concern.\n\nScientists see the forthcoming visit of UK prime minister Theresa May to Washington as an opportunity to press the President to rein in his approach.\n\n\"We are beginning to see our fears realised less than a week after President Trump has taken office,\" said Bob Ward, from the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.\n\n\"I hope that the Prime Minister will challenge President Trump about this censorship and political interference in the process of gaining and sharing knowledge about climate change during their meeting on Friday.\"\n\nClimate scientists in the US are also rallying to fight back.\n\nA march on Washington by scientists is being proposed, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts have been created based on the the idea that \"an American government that ignores science to pursue ideological agendas endangers the world\".\n\nMeanwhile, another national park - Golden Gate NPS - has started tweeting climate facts.\n\nFollow Matt on Twitter and on Facebook", "Three RAF Typhoons and a British warship escort a Russian aircraft carrier and other ships up the English Channel.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nCoverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nThe American, 35, won 6-2 6-3 and will next play unseeded Croat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, who beat fifth-seeded Czech Karolina Pliskova 6-4 3-6 6-4.\n\nKonta, seeded ninth, went into the quarter-final on a nine-match and 18-set winning streak but came up short in her first meeting with Williams.\n\nWilliams is now two wins from claiming an Open-era record 23rd major title.\n• None Watch day 10 highlights on BBC Two from 16:45 GMT on Wednesday\n\n\"Johanna Konta has been playing so well,\" said the second seed.\n\n\"I was in the locker room watching her clean up her matches.

The judgement is clear that it was not for the courts but for politicians to decide how to proceed next.\n\nThat means, possibly as early as tomorrow, ministers will put forward what is expected to be an extremely short piece of legislation in the hope of getting MPs to approve it, perhaps within a fortnight.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

So Marco Hauenstein, 19, turned to Facebook to try to find out more - not anticipating how widely his post would be shared.\n\nMarco did not have an easy start in life, as the very few facts he knows about his birth mother indicate.\n\nGina Barbara Hauenstein was a drug addict, and during the 1990s spent time, Marco believes, in Zurich's then notorious Platzspitz open drugs scene, where addicts bought heroin in a city centre park, and injected it openly.\n\nWhen Marco was born in 1997, he was already addicted too, and had to spend the first months of his life in hospital withdrawing and recovering.\n\nAlthough his mother visited him from time to time, he never lived with her. About his father, he knows nothing: on his birth certificate, the space for the father's name has been left blank.\n\nIn 2000, Gina Hauenstein disappeared. Despite a police search both within Switzerland and across Europe, no trace of her has ever been found, and she remains listed as a missing person.\n\nMarco meanwhile lived with a foster family. He describes his childhood as happy, but he admits questions about his birth family were \"always on my mind\".\n\nWhen he turned 16, Marco left his foster family. There had been disagreements, not unusual between parents and teenagers, but Marco says his relationship with his foster family is good, and has improved since he began to live independently.\n\nAt the same time, he started to look for his birth family, and in particular for his mother. \"I really wanted to know, for myself, who was my family, who I belonged to,\" he explained.\n\n\"So, when I was 16, I started to call town record offices, and I contacted the police. But without success.\"\n\nMarco Hauenstein's search has drawn in many social media users, including journalists\n\nTalking to Marco, it is not entirely clear why this more traditional search for family members was unsuccessful. Switzerland is a small country, Marco was never adopted, he knew his birth name, his mother's name and, it seems, the town she came from, where her parents (his grandparents) still apparently lived.\n\nPerhaps the idea of a Facebook appeal seemed the most logical, or the fastest, way to reach out. And posting messages on social media might understandably be easier for a teenager than cold-calling official figures in local government or the police.\n\nBut the simple message which appeared on Facebook just three weeks ago has had consequences Marco - who uses the name Marco Julius Schelling on Facebook - did not expect. His message was shared and re-shared across Switzerland and Germany many thousands of times, and soon the media took an interest in his story too.\n\nMy name is Marco Hauenstein, and I was born on 17.06.1997 in the Aargau/Zurich region. After going through drug withdrawal as a newborn for 3-6 months I grew up with the Jung family, and later with the Schelling family.\n\nAfter searching for many years without success, I'm turning to you. I'm looking for my birth parents / grandparents!\n\nWhen I meet him in Zurich, he seems rather overwhelmed by the attention. He is accompanied by a camera crew from a local television station, and during our conversation he fields calls from a German channel, and a Swiss newspaper. At the same time new responses to his Facebook appeal are appearing on his phone every couple of minutes.\n\n\"I've had thousands and thousands of messages,\" he says. \"I really didn't expect this.\"\n\nMarco Hauenstein as a baby, with his birth mother\n\nBut his Facebook search has had some initial success. An aunt, a half-sister of his mother, has reached out to him, he says, and he has talked to her by phone.\n\n\"It was very emotional, we didn't talk much, it was just, 'Hello, so good to talk to you after all these years'.\" The plan is \"that we will meet tomorrow… I think we will meet tomorrow\".\n\nMarco has also received information relating to his grandmother, an uncle, and even, he says, some hints about the identity of his father. But he seems reluctant to share too much detail. When our interview finishes, he is met by yet another television crew.\n\nMessages for Marco keep pouring in\n\nThe next day, I get a message from Marco. The planned meeting with his aunt has not taken place, he says, because \"I could not reach her\".\n\nIt is clear the social media attention, and then the interest shown by the mainstream media, have caused problems.\n\nAdopted or foster children hoping to meet their birth families, or birth parents looking for their children, are generally advised to proceed using an intermediary, to communicate in confidence, and to arrange a face-to-face meeting only when all sides are really ready for it.\n\nThe advent of sites like Facebook has changed that. Social services report growing numbers of cases in which adopted or fostered children, or parents who have given their children up or had them taken into care, have been tracked down and contacted out of the blue. The brutal reality is that these contacts are not always welcome: not everyone wants a reunion.\n\nTracing relatives is difficult for Marco despite the power of social media\n\nBut for Marco, the hopes for a happy ending seem at least partially fulfilled. One day after the failed meeting with his aunt, another short post appears on his Facebook page: \"On Friday I was able to meet my grandmother and my uncle,\" he writes. \"It was a very moving moment, at last I have got a part of my family back!\"\n\nHis aunt, he continues, \"needs more time\" before agreeing to meet him.\n\nTime will tell if the reunion brings Marco the sense of completeness he feels he needs. His mother remains the key person he wants to find. But there has been no trace of her for 17 years. No one, not the police, the local authorities, nor Marco's new-found relatives, has any clue where she might be.\n\nMarco is not deterred. His search, via Facebook, continues.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Exhibits about climate change and migration are just two of 12 installations in Museo Atlantico, an underwater museum off the coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.\n\nJason deCaires Taylor describes the museum and how the installations have changed just one year after being placed underwater.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nCeltic equalled the Lisbon Lions' run of 26 domestic games unbeaten with a slender win over St Johnstone to move 22 points clear in the Premiership.\n\nSaints threatened with Danny Swanson hitting a post and Craig Gordon having to deny Steven Anderson's looping shot.\n\nCeltic took a firm grip on the game, only for Scott Sinclair to miss one of several chances as Saints held firm.\n\nBut their resistance was finally broken when Dedryck Boyata headed past Saints goalkeeper Zander Clark.\n\nBoyata had previously lacked confidence and assurance and his displays were often hapless. But he has become a player reborn.\n\nThere was little pressure on him defensively, since flurries of attacking intent from St Johnstone in the first half petered out after the break. But he was calm at the back and passed the ball in assured form.\n\nThis game, though, called for a decisive figure and while Celtic players cursed missed opportunities, it was Boyata who eventually provided the clinical touch.\n\nHe had already seen a first-half header cleared off the goalline by David Wotherspoon, before then racing back into his own penalty area to execute a perfect sliding tackle on St Johnstone striker Chris Kane.\n\nThere was less demand to be swashbuckling after the break, but he saw another header pushed away before rising to bullet a header past the St Johnstone goalkeeper Clark.\n\nCeltic captain Scott Brown has delivered more eye-catching displays in previous games, but perhaps a strong-willed, unbending performance was fitting in his 400th match.\n\nHe was everywhere on the pitch and cleared from a St Johnstone corner kick in the second half. He barely flinched.\n\nHe watched in frustration as Stuart Armstrong saw several curling shots saved or fly wide. Moussa Dembele, too, was off the pace, and failed to convert two Sinclair crosses.\n\nIn the midst of Celtic's dominant second-half possession, there were two moments of typical Brown play. One was a driving run into the penalty area that carried him past three St Johnstone players and earned a corner. Minutes later, he clipped a shot from the edge of the area that Clark saved.\n\nIf there was an emblematic moment, it was Brown's dogged clearing from his own penalty area late on, defiant and strong.\n\nThere is never any doubt that a fixture against St Johnstone will be combative. They are well-drilled and organised. It was not unusual to see Chris Millar bravely stand up to Dembele and rob the striker of the ball.\n\nPaul Paton, too, was relentless. Challenges tended to be physical, uncompromising, and no quarter was given. Runs were blocked, tackles were fierce, there were occasional tussles, and in Kane there was a willing runner up front.\n\nSt Johnstone were entirely subdued after the break, but in the first-half there were moments of attacking hope, mostly at set-pieces. Anderson saw one header drift wide and then the centre-back's lob was pushed over the bar by Celtic goalkeeper Gordon.\n\nWhen Celtic failed to clear a corner, the ball bounced in front of Swanson and his carefully executed volley sent the ball off the upright.\n\nThe visitors were adamant they should have been awarded a penalty just after Boyata's goal, when Brown appeared to push Anderson over inside the area. Referee Andrew Dallas was unmoved, though.\n\nFor all their effort and resistance, St Johnstone could not hold Brendan Rodgers' side at bay.\n• None Tam Scobbie (St. Johnstone) wins a free kick on the right wing.\n• None Attempt missed.

But at the moment that's not really possible.\"\n\nBrawn is a member of a new senior management team appointed following the removal of Bernie Ecclestone from his position as chief executive.\n\nAmerican media executive Chase Carey, who was appointed president when new owner Liberty Media began its takeover in September, has now also taken on Ecclestone's former title.\n\nBrawn is heading up the sporting and technical side of Liberty's business and former ESPN sales and marketing chief Sean Bratches is to run the commercial side.\n\nWhat needs to change?\n\nCarey has outlined plans to better promote the sport, by making more of grands prix as events in their host country and with a much wider use of digital media.\n\nBrawn's job is to hone the on-track show to make it more appealing after criticism it has become predictable and has lost some of its edge in recent years.\n\nHe was critical of decisions made by Ecclestone, such as the adoption of a double-points finale in 2014 and a short-lived attempt to change the format of qualifying at the start of last season.\n\nHe told BBC Sport: \"These have been short-term, knee-jerk reactions and that is exactly what we mustn't do.\n\n\"We need to stabilise the small teams and get them on a better financial footing.\n\n\"We need to reduce the scope of the technology because there is too big a gap between the bigger and smaller teams.\"\n\nHe also hinted he wanted to remove the controversial drag reduction system, an overtaking aid that drivers can use at the press of a button to give them a boost in straight-line speed.\n\n\"We need to make sure there is no artificial solutions,\" Brawn said. \"The drag reduction system; everyone knows it's artificial. We need to find purer solutions.\n\n\"We need to think through the solutions. I have ideas - I can't share them all with you because I want to share them with the teams first - but I have ideas of things we should start to study and perhaps use in '18 or '19.\"\n\nWill the technology have to change?\n\nBrawn said the high-technology aspect of F1 was a crucial part of its appeal but added: \"You must balance the technology with the sporting side.\"\n\nHe indicated he would be open to trying to change the turbo hybrid engines introduced in 2014, which have seen revolutionary steps forward in terms of fuel efficiency but which have been criticised for being too expensive and sounding dull.\n\n\"That is something we need to discuss with the teams,\" Brawn said. \"They have made a huge investment in these engines so you can't just discard them and say: 'We are going to change the engines.'\n\n\"But how do we get from where we are today to where we want to be in two or three years' time with a great racing engine that everyone admires and enjoys?\"\n\nCould a driver at a smaller team win the F1 title?\n\nPart of the reason for the lack of competitiveness is the huge spread of budgets between the front and back of the grid.\n\nBrawn said: \"The level of resource the top teams are using has made an enormous gap. My nirvana would be you get slightly odd circumstances and suddenly a team from the back wins. But at the moment you have two or three teams who can win and we need to spread that.\"\n\nHe said a budget cap was a \"delicate\" issue, but added: \"It has never really been tried, it was never fully adopted by Formula 1, and I think we should at least discuss it again and see if there's potential.\"\n\nBut he said there were other ways of closing up the field.\n\n\"We have to see if we can develop the rules to reward innovation less,\" Brawn said. \"Because as it is now innovation is heavily rewarded and if you can afford it, the slope is still quite steep - more money, faster cars. If we can flatten that off with the regulations that would go in the right direction.\"\n\nHe also said he would like to try to establish a 'draft' system for promoting drivers from junior categories so the drivers who make it into F1 were there \"purely on merit\".\n\nHistorically, some drivers at the back of the grid have paid for their seats in F1.\n\n\"What I'd love to see is a proper progression of talent into F1 where you could even introduce a draft system where the guys who win the GP2 or Formula 2 are available for the lower teams to use in their first year or two in Formula 1.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

So the end of his reign following the takeover of the sport by US giant Liberty Media represents a seismic change.\n\nEcclestone, now 86, is a tactician of remarkable skill, and a deal-maker extraordinaire who used chutzpah and brinksmanship to turn F1 into one of the world's biggest sports, form relationships with world leaders such as Russian president Vladimir Putin and make himself and many of F1's participants multi-millionaires.\n\nIn a remarkable four decades, Ecclestone revolutionised the sport:\n• None He bought the Brabham team and won two world titles, including a historic first with a turbo engine in 1983.\n• None Turned F1 into the biggest annual sporting event in the world, outstripped only by the Olympics and the World Cup.\n• None Controversially took the commercial rights away from the teams and made himself a billionaire.\n• None Fought off a criminal prosecution for blackmail that arose from a complicated series of sales of those rights.\n• None Carved a notorious reputation for making controversial statements, including saying Adolf Hitler was \"able to get things done\" and likening women to \"domestic appliances\".\n\nBut what made him mind-bendingly - some would say obscenely - rich is what brought him down in the end.\n\nSelling on the commercial rights to F1 is the source of Ecclestone's vast wealth. But it was never about the money, per se - it was about the deal. And now the deal has done him in.\n\nRestructuring the finances of the sport in the first years of this decade, Ecclestone also reorganised its decision-making process.\n\nHe did it to increase his power, but the structure he set up inadvertently neutered him and gave the big teams - particularly Mercedes and Ferrari - power to block him. This has led to log-jam.\n\nThe latest company to buy the sport - USA's Liberty Media - has looked at this, at a skewed prize-money structure, at a policy that is threatening to price out much-loved historic races in favour of characterless new ones in countries with questionable regimes, at a refusal to engage with digital media, and several other issues, and decided to ease him out.\n\nEcclestone is held in genuinely high regard within F1 for everything he has achieved but, outside a handful of acolytes, few will be genuinely sorry to see him go.\n\nThere has been a feeling for some years that he is a man out of time, that the sport needed to move on. In truth, this has contributed to the stalemate in F1 - people were simply waiting him out.\n\nMany believe his departure will be good for the sport. However, it will certainly make F1 less colourful, and it is hard to imagine seeing the like of him again.\n\nWhere did he come from?\n\nEcclestone's involvement in F1 started in the late 1950s. After a brief driving career in lower categories, he emerged as a manager for the British F1 driver Stuart Lewis-Evans but then disappeared from racing when Lewis-Evans was killed in a fiery crash at the 1958 Moroccan Grand Prix.\n\nHe appeared again in the late 1960s, again as a manager, this time to the Austrian Jochen Rindt. He was already very rich.\n\nWhat had the fortune come from? \"Property,\" Ecclestone says. All manner of rumours have abounded, including that he was involved in organising the Great Train Robbery, when £2.6m was stolen from a Royal Mail train in Buckinghamshire in 1963.\n\n\"Nah,\" Ecclestone once said. \"There wasn't enough money on that train. I could have done something better than that.\"\n\nRindt became F1's first and so far only posthumous world champion after he was killed at the 1970 Italian Grand Prix. But this time Ecclestone did not retreat.\n\nWithin a couple of years, he bought Brabham from its founder, the three-time world champion Sir Jack Brabham, and began establishing his power base.\n\nHow did he become omnipotent?\n\nBack then, circuit deals and television rights were operated on a somewhat haphazard, piecemeal basis. Ecclestone offered to look after them on the teams' behalf and wasted little time in building his influence.\n\nHe persuaded television companies to buy F1 as a package, rather than pay for individual races. That guaranteed vastly increased exposure, and the sport's popularity grew increasingly quickly.\n\nThe vast growth of F1 from what it was then to what it is today arguably started in earnest after the 1976 season, when a championship battle between the playboy Englishman James Hunt and the ascetic Austrian Niki Lauda caught the public's imagination.\n\nBy the 1980s, F1 was becoming a global sport, more and more races were being shown live, and a generation of charismatic stars enhanced its appeal - Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and, most of all, Ayrton Senna.\n\nIronically, Senna's death in 1994 only increased its reach and shortly after that the sport started on the route that has led to Ecclestone's departure.\n\nThe beginning of the end\n\nControversially, in the mid-1990s, Ecclestone struck a deal with his long-time friend and ally Max Mosley, who was then the president of governing body the FIA. It saw his own company become the rights holder of F1, taking over from the teams' collective body that Ecclestone previously ran.\n\nThis led to a furious row with some of the teams - particularly McLaren, Williams and Tyrrell - who claimed what Ecclestone was doing was illegal and that he was effectively robbing them.\n\nBut the complainants were eventually bought off. Ecclestone then set about monetising his new asset.\n\nIn 2000, Mosley granted Ecclestone the commercial rights to F1 until the end of 2110 for a one-off fee of $360m. Even then, many were shocked by the relatively paltry amount of money that changed hands to secure such a lucrative and lengthy deal.\n\nThis led to a dizzying series of sales as the rights transferred through various institutions. A German cable TV company bought them, and then collapsed, which led to its creditors - banks - taking its assets. In 2006, the German bank BayernLB sold its 47.2% stake in F1 to an investment company called CVC Capital Partners.\n\nCVC ran the sport for 10 years, employing Ecclestone as chief executive and empowering him to carry on as before, before selling to Liberty last September, in the deal completed on Monday.\n\nBut the sale from BayernLB to CVC is what ultimately led to the court cases on bribery charges that Ecclestone fought and survived a couple of years ago - and which he ended by paying the German courts $100m to end the case, without a presumption of guilt or innocence.\n\nIt did not escape notice that a man charged with bribery had paid - perfectly legally under German law - to end a criminal trial.\n\nWhat is he like?\n\nDespite his diminutive stature, Ecclestone is a forbidding character. Stories abound in F1 of real and threatened menace.\n\nA conversation with him is akin to juggling sand - he ducks and dodges and avoids questions with obfuscation, distraction and quick wit, a dizzying mix of truths, half-truths and fallacies.\n\nHe is approachable but apart, engaging but unknowable. After a verbal sparring match, he will sometimes reach up and chillingly pat you on the cheek, not unlike a mafia don in the movies.\n\nFor years, the more unsavoury aspects of Ecclestone's stewardship were glossed over or laughed off - largely because he was making those he was working for so much money.\n\nBut in recent years, the tone in F1 has changed as more and more people began to feel he was past his sell-by date.\n\nHe was a reluctant embracer of the internet age, and rejected entreaties to try to use it to extend F1's reach.\n\nHis argument was that he saw no way to make money out of it; others argued that his modus operandi of pursuing only the deal, the bottom line, and disregarding its potential longer-term effects was doing more harm than good.\n\nHis simple model - sell television rights and races to the highest bidder no matter who it was; squeeze the highest price possible out of continuing partners - created an annual global revenue in the region of $1.5bn (£1.2bn).\n\nYet he became increasingly haphazard and intransigent in his decision-making, coming up with unpopular ideas such as a double-points finale in 2014 or the fiasco over the change to the qualifying format at the start of 2016 - to try to spice up the sport.\n\nHe was responding to declining audiences, but seemed to ignore the fact they were dropping largely because of his switch away from free-to-air towards pay television in key markets, and the questionable effect on the racing of gimmicks such as the DRS overtaking aid and tyres on which drivers could not push flat out.\n\nThe declining audiences have led to a crisis of confidence within the sport, the response to which is a new set of rules for 2017 that mean faster, more dramatic-looking cars. But already there are concerns that these may not have the desired effect.\n\nBut while the problems are real, the fact remains that F1 has just changed hands in a deal that values it at $8bn (£6.4bn).\n\nAnd that is almost entirely down to Ecclestone and what he has built with his remarkable personality, vision and drive.\n\nControversial he certainly was; past his best he may have been. But for all his faults, Bernie Ecclestone is a unique and titanic figure who turned what was essentially a niche activity into a glittering global enterprise that to many represents an intoxicating mix of glamour, danger and raw, unmatched drama.\n\nGone from power he may be, but he will never be forgotten.", "Mr Trump insisted leaving the TPP was good for American workers\n\nFree trade and globalisation had a bad 2016, but it looks like 2017 could be even worse.\n\nFor decades there has been a consensus that globalisation brought more jobs, higher wages and lower prices - not just for richer countries but also for developing and poorer nations.\n\nBut there is now a growing movement of anger as people see jobs being taken by machines, old industries disappearing and waves of migration disturbing the established order.\n\nGlobal trade flows are falling and trade deals are being ripped up.\n\nThe new US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of up to 45% on Chinese goods, accusing the country of economically \"raping\" the US.\n\nOne of China's fiercest critics, Peter Navarro, has been appointed as a top trade advisor.\n\nA Japanese factory's Donald Trump masks are in demand, but the US exit from the TPP agreement will hit trade between the two countries\n\nAn executive order pulling out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement aimed at deepening economic ties between the twelve countries that border the Pacific Ocean was one of Mr Trump's first acts on moving into the White House.\n\nThe future of free trade is looking very gloomy.\n\nBut what's behind the anger that threatens decades of relative global consensus on globalisation?\n\nThe sense of grievance in the US is clear: the manufacturing sector in the country has seen six million jobs disappear between 1999 and 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\n\nStudies have shown that the decline in the US has been mirrored by gains in China.\n\nAutomation has helped drive the decline in US manufacturing jobs\n\nBut Chinese imports only explain 44% of the decline in employment in manufacturing in the US between 1990 and 2007, according to a report by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn.\n\nPart of the decline has been down to the outsourcing of jobs to other countries but automation and more efficient processes have also taken their toll.\n\n\"All countries end up with losers from technological development - whether it is telephone operators or bank tellers,\" says Gary Hufbauer, a trade expert from the Peterson Institute for International Economics.\n\n\"The problem in the US is that we don't do much to help those people who lose out through social security support or job retraining,\" says Mr Hufbauer.\n\nThe anger that flows from this has found a home in the protectionist rhetoric of politicians like Mr Trump.\n\n\"There has been no growth in household income during the last decade in Europe, the US and Japan. People are not happy and if you have to blame someone, it is easy to blame foreigners,\"' says Mr Hufbauer.\n\nThe rise of political opposition to globalisation has coincided with - and contributed to - a period of declining world trade growth since the financial crisis of 2008.\n\nBetween 1986 and 2008 world trade grew at an average of 6.5%, according to the World Trade Organization.\n\nBetween 2012 and 2015 that rate has slowed to an average of 3.2% and is predicted to expand by just 1.7% in 2016.\n\nThat slowdown would make it the longest period of relative trade stagnation since the Second World War.\n\nSince the financial crisis the slowing of the Chinese economy and political and economic stagnation in the eurozone have contributed to this flat-lining of world trade.\n\nAt the same time, in an attempt to insulate companies and industries at home, politicians have turned to tariffs and restrictions on imports from other countries.\n\n\"Governments worldwide have almost doubled their resort to trade distortions in the last two years,\" says Prof Simon Evenett, a trade expert at St Gallen University.\n\n\"The recent surge in 'beggar-thy-neighbour' activity predates Trump and Brexit, suggesting that populist pressures are likely to exacerbate protectionism,\" he says.\n\nThe flat lining of economic growth has increased pressure on politicians.\n\n\"Governments across the world are enacting protectionist policies often masquerading as 'industrial policy,\" according to Prof Evenett.\n\nHe says this often involves offering government subsidies to local companies, introducing import barriers and new '\"local\" standards for products from abroad.\n\nYet while protectionism may seem appealing to politicians assailed by angry workers, they often only end up raising prices for consumers.\n\nFor example, there was an outcry in 2012 when cheap Chinese tyres flooded into the US market, putting the viability of the domestic producers in question.\n\nPresident Obama responded with punitive tariffs to get China \"to play by the rules\".\n\nThe protectionist measures were well received in the US, but a study by the Peterson Institute established that the tariffs meant US consumers paid $1.1bn more for their tyres in 2011.\n\nEach job that was saved effectively cost $900,000 with very little of that reaching the pockets of the workers.\n\nWith the economic and social benefits of free trade coming increasingly under attack, proponents of globalisation have tried to launch a counterattack.\n\nFor example, The World Bank recently published a study of developing countries showing that average incomes for people living in the bottom 40% increased between 2008 and 2013, despite the impact of the financial crisis.\n\n\"There is a realisation in rich countries and among rich elites that there are problems with globalisation,\" says Branko Milanovic, an economist whose work on income inequality has driven much of the debate.\n\n\"They realise that for their own political self-preservation they have to tackle them.\"\n\nBut the solutions are not obvious, nor easy to implement.\n\n\"Most of the benefits of globalisation have been enjoyed by a relatively small group within each country.\n\n\"The question is not whether there are benefits to globalisation - there clearly are. But the question is about who is enjoying those benefits,\" says Andrew Lang from the London School of Economics.\n\nPart of the anger might dissipate if economic growth was to stop its stubborn flat-lining trajectory, lifting incomes around the world.\n\nMany in the US, Europe and Japan have seen no increase in their household income in the past 10 years\n\n\"To help solve these problems you need to get the world economy revved up. Governments need to commit to fiscal stimulus to get their economies going again,\" says Gary Hufbauer.\n\nBranko Milanovic points to the success of previous politicians in turning round seemingly intractably weak economies.\n\n\"It's not impossible for politicians to address these issues.\n\n\"Thatcher and Reagan managed to effect change in relatively short periods of time - a presidential term of four years should be enough to start making a difference,\" he says.\n\nBut Prof Evenett is pessimistic: \"I expect the global plateau in world trade to continue in 2017 and that is before Donald Trump enacts any of the protectionist measures he has threatened.\"", "Robby Kelley of the USA climbs back up the slope to finish his run to the delight of the Schladming crowd after crashing

drug-free credentials and Sir Bradley Wiggins' therapeutic use exemptions.\n\nWiggins was granted three TUEs to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 and 2012 Tour de France and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.\n\n\"Taking TUEs just before major events raises questions for me,\" Cooke said.\n\nCooke also told MPs British Cycling is run \"by men for men\" and its attempts to stop doping are \"ineffective\".\n\nWiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI, and there is no suggestion either the 36-year-old or his former employers Team Sky have broken any rules.\n\nCooke, 33, made the claims in evidence submitted to a Culture, Media and Sport select committee on Tuesday.\n\nThe committee is examining doping in sport and Tuesday's session was held to discuss issues raised at a previous hearing involving British Cycling and Team Sky in December.\n\nIn a wide-ranging testimony, Cooke provided examples of sexism she had encountered in her 13-year career, stating British Cycling shows \"discrimination and favouritism\" because it is \"answerable to itself\".\n\nThe Welsh former world and Commonwealth cycling champion added that the fight against doping is \"the wrong people fighting the wrong war, in the wrong way, with the wrong tools\".\n\n\"While there is still a way to go, British Cycling is absolutely committed to resolving the historic gender imbalance in our sport,\" said the governing body in a statement.\n\nBritish Cycling is the subject of an investigation by UK Anti-Doping into allegations of wrongdoing in the sport and is also awaiting the findings of an independent review into an alleged bullying culture.\n\nFive-time Olympic champion Wiggins was granted a TUE to treat asthma and allergies, which was revealed when hacking group Fancy Bears released athletes' medical files stolen from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).\n\nCooke compared her use of the steroid triamcinolone with that of Wiggins, stating she was granted a TUE for injections of the drug to treat a career-threatening knee injury as an alternative to surgery.\n\nShe said she did not race again until \"long after the performance-enhancing effects had worn off\", and she added that Wiggins appeared to use the \"same steroid before his main goals of the season\".\n\nCooke added she found the chronology of Wiggins' TUEs \"disturbing\" and that it made her \"sceptical\" of what Team Sky have done.\n\nThe team was launched in 2010 with a zero-tolerance approach towards doping in cycling.\n\nCooke on the package delivered to Wiggins\n\nAn inquiry by Ukad was launched following a Daily Mail allegation that a medical package was delivered to Wiggins on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine.\n\nTeam Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told MPs in December that the package contained legal decongestant Fluimucil, but MP Damian Collins, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, says British Cycling have been unable to provide paperwork to prove the contents of the medical package.\n\n\"I find the stance of being the cleanest team, yet Dave Brailsford not being able to say what a rider took, definitely makes it hard to back up that claim,\" Cooke added.\n\nShe also raised concerns as to why Simon Cope, who was British Cycling women's coach at the time, was chosen to courier the package to Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman in France.\n\n\"I do find it very surprising that Simon Cope transported something internationally without knowing what was in it,\" Cooke told MPs.\n\nShe also alleged that Cope, a former team-mate of Wiggins at the Linda McCartney professional team, \"spent some weeks riding a moped in front of Wiggins as part of a training regimen\" as an example of how resources were \"stripped out of the women's program to augment the men's program\".\n\n'They did nothing for women'\n\nWhen asked by MPs if sexism was culturally embedded in British Cycling, Cooke said: \"Yes I do\".\n\nShe claimed that during her career, the governing body showed only \"transient\" support for female road riders.\n\nAs part of her written evidence and appearance via video-link from Paris, Cooke cited numerous examples of \"discrimination and favouritism\" shown by British Cycling.\n\nShe said the prize for the women's 2006 British Championships was a \"tiny fraction\" of the men's race, despite Cooke having just won the Grande Boucle Feminine Internationale - the women's equivalent of the Tour de France.\n\nThe 2008 road race world champion added she had to take her own skin suit to the event in Italy after British Cycling had forgotten to organise one, having to then sew a Team Sky logo onto it at the behest of Brailsford.\n\n\"The facts are they did nothing for the women,\" said Cooke.\n\nAn independent review into the culture of British Cycling began after its former technical director Shane Sutton was accused of using offensive and discriminatory language towards cyclist Jess Varnish.\n\nDespite being cleared of eight of the nine charges against him, the Australian was found guilty of using sexist language in October but denies any wrongdoing and said he would appeal the ruling.\n\nWhat has the response been?\n\nIn her written evidence, Cooke said she had \"no faith in the actions in support of investigations conducted by Ukad or the testing they conduct, both completed at significant expense to the public purse\".\n\nIn response, Ukad said: \"There should be no doubt about the determination of this organisation to protect clean sport; our staff passionately believe in protecting everyone's right to clean, fair and honest competition.\n\nRegarding Cooke's accusations of sexism, British Cycling said in a statement: \"There is always more that can be done and we strive to make continual improvements to ensure that cycling is reaching out to women and girls of all ages and abilities.\"\n\nMeanwhile, UK Sport has launched an independent review to investigate some of the issues raised by Cooke.\n\n\"UK Sport takes its responsibilities as an investor of public funds and a champion of equality in sport very seriously,\" said a spokesman.\n\n\"On matters raised relating to the governance of the national governing body, UK Sport and Sport England have recently published a new code for sports

Does using art to sell hotels make good business sense?\n\nIf you visit the Emperor Qianmen hotel, near the Forbidden City in Beijing, be sure to bring an umbrella - otherwise you may get drenched. That's because it sometimes rains inside the lobby.\n\nThis is not due to a leaking roof. The \"rain\" comes from an installation by the Canadian artist Dan Euser, whose other pieces at the Emperor include an astonishingly realistic \"waterfall\" in the hotel's spa.\n\nThe Emperor is a \"water hotel\", explains the Chinese artist Bingyi, another member of the team behind the establishment's design. It is built on the site of an old bath house, and it was this, Bingyi adds, that gave the hotel's architect, Adam Sokol, the idea for an aquatic theme for the project.\n\nAt the Emperor Hotel in Beijing an art installation creates rain inside the lobby\n\nArt can be found almost everywhere at the Emperor. Bingyi's work on display includes Cave in Heaven, a vast ink and paper mural covering 400 square metres, over the entire walls of a large space.\n\nBingyi believes that China today is a fruitful place for collaborations between artists and hotels, like the one at the Emperor.\n\n\"Cultural significance is very important to Chinese.\n\n\"We take the greatest pride in our cultural heritage… we write calligraphy, we write poetry, we have this kind of particular passion to turn every little craft into this magnificent habit of living, and we're just obsessed with it,\" she says.\n\nThe lobby of luxury hotel Nuo displays huge vases made from Chinese porcelain\n\nThe Emperor is far from the only hotel in Beijing to place an emphasis on the role of art.\n\nEnter the lobby of the Nuo, a new luxury hotel, and you could be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into a museum. Throughout the vast space a series of giant vases are arrayed, each one more than two metres tall. They were made in Jingdezhen, home of fine Chinese porcelain for thousands of years.\n\nThe blue and white vases echo the Ming Dynasty theme that pervades much of the hotel's design.\n\nBut they are only the beginning, says Adrian Rudin, the hotel's general manager:\n\n\"Wherever you go, from the lobby lounge to the bar, there are different art pieces, some sculptures, some paintings, from different young and upcoming artists.\" He estimates the value of artworks at the hotel at around $50m [£40m; 46m euros].\"\n\nBeijing hotel managers say that art is one way for luxury lodgings to set themselves apart from rivals\n\nWhy so much - or indeed, any - art?\n\n\"It is a selling point in terms of consumers who are interested in fine art and culture,\" says Mr Rudin. But, he adds, there are other reasons too.\n\nThe hotel is the starting point of a new venture with the aim of creating an \"international luxury Chinese brand\" Mr Rudin explains.\n\nIn this context, he believes that art has a key role to play in helping the new enterprise to find a distinctive voice.\n\nOther luxury groups also see merit in this kind of approach.\n\nThe Rosewood Hotel says its aim is to create a space that feels like a \"luxury private home\"\n\nOne of the troubles of the modern international hotel scene, says Marc Brugger, is that it is an \"ocean of sameness\". Mr Brugger is managing director of the Rosewood hotel, another recently-launched luxury property in Beijing.\n\nHe believes that art can play a valuable role for luxury lodgings seeking to find new ways to set themselves apart. However, for this to be successful, time and careful thought are required.\n\nWhen the hotel was being conceived, Mr Brugger recalls, the idea of creating somewhere that felt like a \"luxury private home\" emerged. In such an establishment, art would have its natural place.\n\nThis meant departing from the usual hotel design process.\n\nChinese artist Bingyi's work for the Emperor Hotel includes Cave in Heaven, a vast ink and paper mural covering 400 square metres\n\nAccording to Mr Brugger, what often happens is that plans will be drawn up and some blank spaces will be left for \"art\" to be added later.\n\n\"That method is much faster\" he says, than the \"holistic\" approach taken in designing the Rosewood, where most of the art was specially commissioned and integrated into the design.\n\nThe design team searched for up-and-coming artists who could create work that would fit well into the scheme, rather than existing pieces from established names which might overpower or destabilise the overall look.\n\nIt took a long time to find the right artists, says Mr Brugger, but he feels that the results were well worth it.\n\nDo collaborations between artists and hotels like these make good commercial and creative sense? Up to a point, say experts.\n\n\"There is a rationale for doing this, in a crowded hotel market\" says Peter York, who has been an adviser to many large luxury enterprises. Companies need to find ways \"to stand out from the ordinariness of luxury now, because luxury has become very ordinary\".\n\nBut he says there can be risks, both for the hotels, and more particularly for the artists: \"It's a sensitive balance between what you do to make a lot of money, and to pump your brand, and the verdict of history - and you don't want the verdict of history to come in too fast\", he warns.\n\nStill, Chinese hotel operators, and the artists they work with, remain optimistic about the future and the benefits that can flow from working together.\n\n\"We're really re-imagining what is luxury\" says Bingyi. \"We just all need to be reminded every single day how beautiful things can be.\"", "Adam Elliott had photographs taken to show his height in relation to the size of his car\n\nA tall man has been convicted of driving while standing up after admitting dangerous driving.\n\nAdam Elliott was accused of showing off to other motorists with his head poking out of the roof of a convertible Ford Ka.\n\nThe 26-year-old from Newcastle, who is 6ft 7in (2m) tall, pleaded guilty at Newcastle Crown Court but later blamed his height.\n\nSpeaking after the hearing, he said: \"I was not stood up, I am just tall.\"\n\nJudge Robert Adams said it was \"pretty obvious\" Elliott had been \"showing off, demonstrating your height to people in an open top small car\".\n\n\"It was a dangerous thing to do,\" he said.\n\nAdam Elliott pleaded guilty to dangerous driving but later insisted he was just tall and not standing up in the car\n\nMr Elliott, a car dealer, was seen in Gateshead and on the Tyne Bridge driving the car with the top down in January last year.\n\nHe had been delivering the vehicle to a customer, he said.\n\n\"I pleaded guilty to this because I was advised to, but I still insist I was not standing up,\" he said.\n\n\"It's just because of my height.\n\n\"I'm an excellent driver but I was advised to plead guilty to get it over with.\"\n\nThe court heard Elliott had 12 previous convictions for driving while disqualified.\n\nHe was given an interim driving ban of 12 months and will be sentenced next month.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Find out more about the nominees for the 89th Academy Awards, which will take place on 26 February 2017.\n\nThe character: Michele Leblanc, the head of a video game company, who is raped in her home.\n\nThe critics said: \"Huppert gives a performance of imperious fury, holding the audience at bay, almost goading us to disown her.

despite a complete restructuring of the command of the 215th Corps overseen by American forces - it seems it still is not combat effective.\n\nAfghan troops complain they lack even the most basic supplies.\n\n\"For a month we've been saying we are running out of ammunition but we don't get any new supplies,\" Sgt class 1 Hyatullah told the BBC.\n\n\"Our enemy is firing at us, but we don't have enough bullets to take them on.\"\n\nHis commander urged America's new president not to falter in his commitment to the Afghan government.\n\n\"As a soldier of Afghanistan, I ask his excellency Donald Trump to continue the fight here\", said Brig Gen Mohammad Wali Ahmadzai, the commander of the 215th Corps in Helmand.\n\n\"If he can give us more support, we can wipe the terrorists out.\"\n\nMost of the foreign troops in Afghanistan were withdrawn at the end of 2014, but when I visited the headquarters of Resolute Support, the Nato mission in Afghanistan, it was busy, with helicopters flying in and out every few minutes.\n\nThere are still 13,000 Nato military personnel in Afghanistan, mostly American.\n\nMost US military personnel have left Afghanistan - there is little appetite for more losses among the US public\n\nBrig Gen Charlie Cleveland, the spokesman for the Resolute Support mission, believes America still has a clear strategic interest in Afghanistan.\n\nHe says the US troops now have two tasks:\n\nResolute Support's work with the Afghan army has, says the brigadier general, been instrumental in ensuring it has managed to hold the ground it does.\n\n\"In the winter of 2015-16, the government of Afghanistan changed their strategy,\" Brig Gen Cleveland tells me.\n\n\"They realised they couldn't defend everywhere, and so what they really started focusing their efforts on was the major population centres.\n\n\"As we look at the security situation right now, the government controls - secures - really about two-thirds of the population.\n\n\"About 10% of the population is controlled by the Taliban, and the remaining difference is really what's contested.\"\n\nHe says while this situation is not ideal, the Afghan army has managed to reverse what was a deteriorating situation in 2015 and establish an \"equilibrium\" in favour of the government.\n\nNevertheless, there is much work to be done.\n\nSome 5,000 Afghan military personnel were killed last year, losses both the Afghan government and Resolute Support agree are unsustainable in the long term.\n\nAfghan security forces have launched operations against both Taliban and IS militants\n\nAnd, amid the uncertainty about American policy, other powers have been flexing their muscles in Afghanistan.\n\nLast month, Russia hosted a meeting in Moscow about the country's future, with senior officials from China and Pakistan, and it makes no secret of the fact it has been talking to the Taliban.\n\nSo the big question is what will President Trump do?\n\nTwo of his key cabinet picks may provide a clue.\n\nPresident Trump's Defence Secretary, Gen James Mattis, is a former commander of forces here.\n\nHe has spoken in the past about the need to urge Pakistan to take further action against the Taliban and the Sunni Islamist militant Haqqani network.\n\nSoviet troops pulled out of Afghanistan in 1988, but Russia is talking to the Taliban\n\nThe new president's national security adviser, Lt Gen Michael Flynn, has also talked about the need for Pakistan to take tougher action against Taliban fighters who shelter there.\n\nAnd President Trump has been very consistent about his desire to take a tougher line against the so-called Islamic State group.\n\nPulling out of Afghanistan would make that more difficult, given the toe-hold it has established in eastern Afghanistan over the past couple of years.\n\nSo it seems unlikely that - in his effort to extricate America from foreign entanglements - President Trump will simply declare that it has no strategic interest in Afghanistan and withdraw his troops.\n\nHe and his advisers will certainly not want to be responsible for America's longest war ending in what many people would regard as a clear defeat.", "The last two Oscars suffered a backlash due to the lack of non-white nominations.\n\nThis year's nominations in the acting categories are more diverse.", "Cities are at their busiest during the day - and their most polluted\n\nPart two of our series \"A day in the life of a city\" looks at the ways in which offices are changing and how cities are coping with the ever-growing problem of pollution.\n\nThe morning rush hour is over and, if you live in a city in the developed world, you are likely to be settling down at your desk for the next eight or so hours.\n\nHowever, the office block and skyscraper, which have been part of our urban landscape since the end of the 19th Century, may also soon become surplus to requirements.\n\nShould we rethink our office space?\n\nUrban architect Anthony Townsend thinks cities need more creative approaches to how we work and is keen to reclaim the streets by creating pop-up workspaces in the parks and plazas of the financial district in New York.\n\n\"Before the New York Stock Exchange, traders met under a tree on Wall Street to buy and sell shares. It is only in the last 50 years that we have taken that creative energy and sucked it up into office buildings and separated it from public space,\" he said.\n\nAn atrium filled with natural light and the smell of fresh coffee greets workers at Deloitte's Edge headquarters in Amsterdam, which also uses an underwater aquifer to provide ambient temperature all year round and a sensor network to monitor the use of lights - providing a better working environment while saving money.\n\nThe Edge has been dubbed one of the world's greenest offices and now many are following suit - installing sensors to monitor light, electricity and water usage, planting urban gardens and offering employees access to bike or car-sharing schemes.\n\nWhen you pop out to buy your lunchtime sandwich though, it is a different matter.\n\nCities are huge polluters - responsible for 70% of the world's carbon emissions, according to the United Nations.\n\nIn Singapore huge man-made super-trees house a variety of flora and fauna\n\nAnd, according to the World Health Organization, more than 80% of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are exposed to air quality levels that exceed WHO limits. While all regions of the world are affected, populations in low income cities are the most impacted.\n\nCities are literally getting greener - with foliage-covered walls popping up in many\n\nTo counteract this, cities are rushing out a whole series of green initiatives - from electric buses (being trialled in many cities including Perth, London and Paris), to bike-sharing schemes, such as those in Montreal, Barcelona and Amsterdam.\n\nSome are committing to \"urban greening\" - London is considering a garden bridge - while in Paris, 20,000 residents have backed plans via a citizen engagement app 'Madam Mayor, I have an idea' for a 2m euro ($2.2m, £1.7m) investment in vertical gardens across the city.\n\nOfficials have found 40 potential sites and are now calling on gardeners, landscape designers, urban farmers and architects to bid for projects.\n\nHorticulturist and designer Patrick Blanc has been creating vertical gardens since 2001 in city hotels, malls and tower blocks around the world.\n\nThe benefits are many-fold, he said. As well as acting as a natural biofilter and providing a habitat for birds and bugs, it also feeds humans' natural sense of well-being in nature, a phenomenon known as biophilia.\n\nChina is turning to machine learning to predict smog levels\n\nIn China, it will take more than planting trees to combat pollution. The city authorities in smog-ridden Bejiing are working closely with IBM to use machine learning techniques to analyse weather and emissions data to predict how bad air will be over the next 10 days.\n\nAccording to Jonathan Batty, an IBM executive who helped set up the system, it has allowed the authorities to take short-term preventative measures.\n\n\"That might mean closing factories for a couple of days or reducing urban traffic or stopping construction work,\" he said.\n\nThe government also uses the data to provide a traffic light warning system for citizens - red means air pollution is high so spend the minimum time outside, while green indicates safe levels.\n\nLondon provides a similar system on its city dashboard which is available to Londoners on the web.\n\nProf Andy Hudson-Smith, who heads up University College London's Centre for Advance Spatial Analysis, came up with the idea to share data with the wider public.\n\n\"Cities now do have vast amount of information on air pollution and the data from London is all bad but it seems that citizens haven't woken up to how bad the air is,\" he said.\n\n\"I'm surprised that people haven't kicked off. This stuff is life-threatening - if you live on a main road, it can take five years off your life.\"\n\nWould you take an internet-connected gnome seriously?\n\nThe problem with the current way of collecting air pollution data is that often people do not understand what the readings mean, he thinks.\n\nSo he has a cunning plan to \"humanise IoT\" (the internet of things).\n\nHe is putting around 100 internet-connected gnomes in the Olympic Park in East London.\n\nThe gnomes will talk back to people as they go around the park and among other things will tell them how bad the air pollution is.\n\nUnlike more complex data sets, they will be more plain speaking, said Prof Hudson-Smith.\n\n\"They will probably just tell you to go home.\"\n\nJakarta launched its smart city programme in 2014 and rather than spend vast sums of money on platforms provided by firms such as IBM and Schneider Electric, it decided its smart city approach would be much more citizen-based.\n\nIt has an app - Qlue - that allows citizens to report issues, upload photos of potholes and abandoned cars they come across around the city.\n\nFloods are a major issue there and citizens can also access PetaJakarta, a joint project between the University of Wollongong in Australia and the Jakartan government. It uses tweets about floods to create a real-time map of the city.\n\nJakarta tweets more than any other city in the world and also faces some of the worst congestion, so a Twitter account offering lift-shares - dubbed Nebenger - has attracted some 93,000 residents\n\nIn another congestion-busting initiative, the city is now partnering with Google-owned navigation app Waze to share data about traffic conditions around the city.", "Sunny, a 19-month-old red panda, has been missing since Monday\n\nZoo officials say that a female red panda named Sunny has been missing from its enclosure since Monday afternoon.\n\nNorfolk police are helping workers at the Virginia Zoo using a \"geothermal camera\" to search the grounds for her, officials said on Wednesday.\n\nPeople living near the zoo have been asked to keep an eye out for the reddish-brown mammal.\n\nZoo director Greg Bockheim told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper love may have driven 19-month-old Sunny to run away.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It was announced again in the Autumn Statement later that month.\n\nAs well as the North's share, Mr Hammond allocated £492m to London and the South East, £392m to the Midlands, and smaller amounts to other regions.\n\nNorthern leaders say their cities are stuck with weak economies because of underinvestment, while the South East takes the lion's share of public cash.\n\nThe government says the Northern Powerhouse will go some way to rectifying the imbalance. In this case the North of England is getting 13% more than London and the South East.\n\nBut other areas of government spending favour London over the North.\n\nThe capital will receive six times more money on transport spending per person over the next five years, according to research by the Institute for Public Policy Research.", "Most of the papers lead on the fall-out from the government's Brexit court defeat\n\nThe Brexit Supreme Court ruling makes the lead for nearly all the papers, but one of the most eye-catching headlines can be found in the inside pages of the Daily Mail.\n\n\"Champions of the People\", it proclaims, praising the three justices who found themselves in the minority as they sided with the government in the case.\n\nThe Mail attracted controversy in November when it branded three High Court judges \"enemies of the people\" for ruling Parliament had to be consulted over Brexit.\n\nThe Mail thinks it is not good for democracy that this decision has been now backed by the Supreme Court, arguing this, in effect, turns the EU referendum into a \"mere opinion poll\".\n\nThe Guardian is pleased with the Supreme Court judgement, saying it upheld a major constitutional principle in the face of what it describes as \"shameful attacks\" by the Brexit press.\n\nIt think the government should now publish a formal White Paper on its goals for Brexit.\n\nBut the Financial Times warns MPs against trying to micro-manage the negotiations.\n\nThe Daily Telegraph says Parliament has a duty to act responsibly and not seek a re-run of the referendum campaign.\n\n\"What's not to like when British judges in Britain's Supreme Court rule that British law makes the British Parliament sovereign,\" is the Daily Mirror take on Tuesday's Brexit ruling.\n\nBut it is not an opinion that is shared by all the leader writers.\n\nThe Times warns the Lords against trying to frustrate Brexit.\n\nIt would do so at its peril, says the paper, adding: \"Showdowns between the two houses rarely end well for the Lords and the country does not need yet another constitutional headache.\"\n\nThe Daily Telegraph says that ministers are privately warning the government is prepared to flood the Lords with hundreds of Conservative peers if it obstructs the process of leaving the EU.\n\nThe Daily Mail believes new recruits are being discouraged from joining the Army because of historical inquiries into soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.\n\nIt says the Army remains 4% below its required strength, the nearly 7,000 cadets who signed up in the past year being about 3,000 short of the target.\n\nA group campaigning to end the investigations tells the Mail that the figures are no surprise, asking why anyone would want to join the forces when they could be hounded for years.\n\nThe Financial Times thinks the world ought to start taking seriously US President Donald Trump's threat to impose trade tariffs in order to protect American goods.\n\nIn an editorial it argues that many still assume he is bluffing in order to win better deals.\n\nBut, it says, the first few days of his presidency have shown that he is not posturing and he thinks protectionism will make America richer.\n\nThe FT wonders how far he will get before he and his country both discover just how wrong he is.\n\nThe reported Trident missile failure may have made the headlines in recent days, but the Times reminds us that problems involving nuclear submarines are not new.\n\nIt reports on a CIA document which has revealed that a Soviet submarine and an American one, which was carrying a 160 nuclear warheads, crashed into each other in 1974 near Holy Loch, about 30 miles from Glasgow.\n\nOne expert says the crash was so serious there was a danger that the crews could have tried to defend themselves -

But human rights campaigners say the situation in the country is now far worse than before the uprising, as Orla Guerin reports from Cairo.\n\nWith every step he takes, Mahmoud Mohammed Hussein is reminded of the price he paid for wanting freedom and democracy in Egypt.\n\nThe 21-year-old has a pronounced limp and relies on a crutch - a legacy, he says, of beatings during almost 800 days in a series of prisons. Ten months have passed since his release, but he still appears frail.\n\nMahmoud is one of thousands who have been detained in recent years under Egypt's latest strongman, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.\n\nAs army chief he led the military overthrow of Egypt's first democratically-elected president, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, in 2013.\n\nSince then Mr Sisi has presided over a sweeping crackdown on dissent - ensnaring Islamists, liberals, journalists, aid workers, and icons of the revolution of 2011.\n\nPeople took to the streets of Cairo on 25 January 2011 to demand Hosni Mubarak resign\n\nMahmoud joined the throngs behind bars back in 2014, when he was just 18.\n\nHis ordeal began on 25 January, the anniversary of the outbreak of the revolution. His fate was sealed by his T-shirt which read: \"A nation without torture.\"\n\n\"It was a day of celebration for me,\" said Mahmoud, who has dark curly hair and a ready smile.\n\n\"I wasn't part of the revolution, but I believed in it and its goals. It made me feel like a human being, with rights and duties.\n\n\"Nowadays, people see the anniversary as a black day, they worry when it comes. For me the mood was one of celebration.\"\n\nSupporters of Abdul Fattah al-Sisi were allowed to take to the streets on 25 January 2014\n\nBut then - as now - the streets were reserved for President Sisi's supporters. They could gather freely, unlike his critics. Protests are virtually banned here.\n\nWe witnessed police opening fire that day - with live rounds - on unarmed demonstrators.\n\nMahmoud said he was not involved in any of the protests, but that he was detained as he headed for home.\n\n\"The officer who arrested me told me, 'You have my picture on your T-shirt',\" he said.\n\n\"The T-shirt was inspired by the revolution. I saw it as a beautiful thing, not a crime. A country without torture is a dream that everyone wishes for.\"\n\nDozens died in clashes with security forces at anti-government protests three years ago\n\nThat dream was apparently not shared by the police he encountered that day. Mahmoud said they soon employed the torture skills for which human rights groups have long condemned the Egyptian police.\n\n\"I was abused at the checkpoint where I was arrested,\" he told us.\n\n\"Then they transferred me to the police station. I was electrocuted on my private parts. They kicked me with their military boots, and hit me with sticks.\n\n\"Everyone knew I was there because of the T-shirt. They believed this was a personal insult to them, so they beat me.\"\n\nThe aim, he said, was to get him to sign a false confession.\n\nMahmoud Hussein (centre) was photographed with the T-shirt reading \"A nation without torture\"\n\n\"A senior officer beat me and kicked me and then asked junior police officers to do the job,\" he said.\n\n\"They wanted me to sign a report saying I was against the police. I refused. The juniors have their own ways - if beating doesn't work, then electrocution might do the job.\n\n\"I was stripped naked, without even boxer shorts, and I was beaten just to admit to certain charges\".\n\nMahmoud asked the officers to spare his leg, which was injured in the past.\n\n\"They insisted on kicking me and beating me on that leg,\" he said.\n\n\"Because of all the abuse and the medical neglect in prison I now need my friend, the crutch, and two surgeries.\"\n\nHis account is consistent with testimony from others who have been detained in recent years. We asked the Egyptian government for a response to the allegation that detainees have been beaten and tortured in custody. There was no reply.\n\nIn the past the authorities have denied there is systematic torture, but said there may be individual cases.\n\nMahmoud described both physical and psychological abuse.\n\nHe told us he spent 14 months in one overcrowded cell where he could barely move, and could not see daylight.\n\nThere were about 150 other prisoners, including Islamists and men held for rape and murder.\n\n\"I always had this element of fear,\" he said, \"All the time, because prison is like a tomb. It's a place that takes away your soul, and kills everything beautiful in you.\"\n\nTens of thousands of people have been jailed in a sweeping crackdown on dissent since 2013\n\nMahmoud was released from detention last March - following campaigns at home and abroad.\n\nWhile he is back home with his family in Cairo, he is not completely free.\n\nHe still faces charges including joining an unauthorized protest, possession of explosives and joining a banned terrorist group - all of which he denies.\n\n\"I could go back to prison at any time,\" he said. \"They could just pick me walking on the street.\n\n\"Since my release that has happened twice. I was held for a few hours and then they let me go.\"\n\nPublic criticism and peaceful opposition are effectively banned in Egypt, rights activists say\n\nMahmoud has also been receiving threatening phone calls.\n\n\"One told me I would not have time to come back to prison,\" he said, \"meaning that someone could stab me or kill me. I didn't reply. I just hung up.\"\n\nIn spite of all the dangers, including the risk that he could be put on trial, Mahmoud refuses to be silenced.\n\n\"In Egypt my rights and the rights of thousands of others like me are violated, just for dreaming or hoping for freedom,\" he said.\n\n\"Their destiny is prison, or death. That's not going to stop me from speaking out, or caring for thousands like me. \"\n\nOfficials here would not give us a comment on allegations that all dissent is being crushed.\n\nPresident Sisi said in September that \"there can be no return to dictatorship\"\n\nPresident Sisi has said in the past that stability is more important than freedom, but he maintains that dictatorship cannot return to Egypt. Critics believe in some key respects it never left.\n\nWhen asked if the revolution is now dead, Mahmoud gave a swift response.\n\n\"No, not at all,\" he insisted. \"25 January is a dream that will never die.

taking a market position which bets on the value of the currency falling.\n\nHe also said Britain could agree a \"mutually beneficial\" free trade deal with America in as little as 90 days.\n\nAnd that it was best for the US if Britain executed a \"clean\" Brexit.\n\nOnce outside the single market and the customs union, the UK could bypass \"the bureaucrats in Brussels\" and forge a free trade deal, he said.\n\nMr Malloch added that any attempt by the EU to block Britain beginning negotiations with the US would be \"absurd\" and like a husband \"trying to stop his wife having an affair\".\n\nTheresa May will be the first foreign leader to meet the new president when she arrives in Washington at the end of the week.\n\nThe possibility of an early trade deal with America, once the UK has left the EU, will be on the agenda.\n\n\"I remind people that the largest merger and acquisition deals in history are often done in about that time frame [90 days],\" Mr Malloch, a professor at Henley Business School, said.\n\n\"Some of us who have worked on Wall Street or in the City know that if you get the right people in the right room with the right data and the right energy, and Trump is certainly high energy, you can get things done.\n\n\"I think this will cut out the bureaucrats in effect and it won't take two years, it won't take seven years to actually come to an agreement.\"\n\nHe added: \"Obviously there are things to iron out, certainly there are differences and compromises to make, but it can be done.\n\n\"So, there won't be a deal signed in the White House on Friday, but there could be an agreement for a framework going forward where people are empowered to have that kind of conversation behind closed doors and it could take as little as 90 days.\n\n\"That is very positive and it sends a signal that the United States is behind Great Britain in its hour of need.\"\n\nAlthough not yet confirmed, Mr Malloch has been widely reported as being the president's choice for the Brussels role.\n\nThe economist and former deputy executive secretary to the United Nations in Geneva went for an interview with the president's team at Trump Tower earlier this month.\n\nIf successful, he will be officially nominated by the Secretary of State elect, Rex Tillerson.\n\nThe EU has made it clear that Britain cannot enter substantive free trade talks with countries outside the union until it has left the EU, a position Mr Malloch - a supporter of Mr Trump and the Brexit campaign - dismissed.\n\nIf successful, Mr Malloch will be officially nominated by the Secretary of State elect, Rex Tillerson\n\n\"I think it is an absurd proposition and may be a legalism,\" he said.\n\n\"There are going to be all kinds of things happening behind closed doors and you can call them what you like.\n\n\"The fact is that when your wife is having an affair with someone else, you tell her to stop it, but oftentimes that doesn't stop the relationship.\"\n\nMany trade experts say the \"90-day\" proposition will be impossible to execute, as there will need to be detailed negotiations on controversial areas such as food imports between the UK and the US, as well as financial services and pharmaceuticals.\n\n\"Non-tariff\" barriers such as health and safety regulations and the recognition of professional qualifications will also have to be hammered out.\n\nThere could also be a need for some form of immigration agreement.\n\nFurthermore, Britain is not yet an autonomous member of the World Trade Organisation, which oversees the rules on free trade deals.\n\nIt negotiates as part of the EU's agreement with the global trade regulator.\n\nGovernment sources insist that transferring full rights to the UK alone will be straightforward.\n\nMr Malloch said despite the obstacles, Britain would gain a free trade deal well ahead of the rest of the EU and the elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany could lead to a fundamental shake-up of the union.\n\n\"I personally am not certain that there will be a European Union with which to have [free trade] negotiations,\" he said.\n\n\"Will there be potentially numerous bilateral agreements with various countries?\n\n\"I think the prospect, in a changed political reality, is greater for that.\n\n\"I think Donald Trump is very opposed to supranational organisations, he believes in nation states, in bilateral relations and I think that he thinks the EU has overshot its mark.\n\n\"It seems to me as well that Trump believes that the European Union has in recent decades been tilted strongly and most favourably towards Germany.\"\n\nMr Malloch said that the present free trade negotiation between the US and the EU - called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - was \"dead\".\n\nHe also questioned the future of the single currency.\n\n\"The one thing I would do in 2017 is short the euro,\" Mr Malloch said.\n\n\"I think it is a currency that is not only in demise but has a real problem and could in fact collapse in the coming year, year and a half.\n\n\"I am not the only person or economist of that point of view.\n\n\"Someone as acclaimed as Joseph Stiglitz -

Kisenosato posed for photos with a red sea bream, a traditional way to mark victory\n\nJapan has formally named its first home-grown sumo grand champion in almost two decades, in a boost to the traditional wrestling sport.\n\nKisenosato, 30, was promoted to the top-most yokozuna rank after his win in the first tournament of the year.\n\nHe is the first Japanese-born wrestler to make it since Wakanohana in 1998. Five wrestlers from American Samoa and Mongolia have made it in the interim.\n\nForeign wrestlers have come to dominate sumo, amid a lack of local recruits.\n\nKisenosato, who comes from Ibaraki to the north of Tokyo and weighs 178kg (392 pounds), has been an ozeki - the second-highest rank - since 2012.\n\nAfter being runner-up on multiple occasions, he finally clinched his first tournament victory - and thereby his promotion to yokozuna - in the first competition of 2017.\n\n\"I accept with all humility,\" Kisenosato said in a press conference after the Japan Sumo Association formally approved him.\n\n\"I will devote myself to the role and try not to disgrace the title of yokozuna.\"\n\nWakanohana (R), seen here fighting Hawaiian Akebono, was the last Japanese wrestler to be promoted to yokozuna\n\nMany Japanese fans will be pleased to see a local wrestler back at the top of a sport regarded as a cultural icon.\n\nAs yokuzuna, Kisenosato, whose real name is Yutaka Hagiwara, joins three other wrestlers in sumo's ultimate rank - Hakuho, Harumafuji and Kakuryu.\n\nThe trio all come from Mongolia, following a path forged by sumo bad-boy Asashoryu, who was Mongolia's first yokozuna in 2003.\n\nThe last Japanese-born wrestlers to reach the top were brothers Takanohana and Wakanohana, who made it to yokozuna in 1994 and 1998 respectively.\n\nIn recent years, sumo has been hit by falling numbers of Japanese recruits, partly because it is seen as a tough, highly regimented life.\n\nYoung sumo wrestlers train in tightly-knit \"stables\" where they eat, sleep and practise together and are sometimes subjected to harsh treatment in the belief that it will toughen them up.\n\nIn 2009, a leading coach was jailed for six years for ordering wrestlers to beat a young trainee who later died, in a case that shocked the nation.\n\nThose at the top of the sport are also expected to be role models, showing honour and humility - and can be criticised if they get it wrong.\n\nMongolian wrestler Asashoryu led the sport for many years, but sumo elders were troubled by some of his behaviour\n\nSumo must also compete with the rising popularity of football and baseball, which have vibrant leagues that draw crowds of young Japanese fans.\n\nBut the sport is attractive to wrestlers from other nations, who can earn a good living. Wrestlers have come from Estonia, Bulgaria, Georgia, China, Hawaii and Egypt, as well as Mongolia and American Samoa.\n\nAs a child, Kisenosato was a pitcher in his school's baseball club before he chose to train as a wrestler at a stable in Tokyo.\n\nHe made his debut in 2002 and, reported Japan's Mainichi newspaper, the 73 tournaments he took to become a yokozuna are the most by any wrestler since 1926.\n\nSpeaking to reporters after the tournament victory on Monday that sealed his elevation, Kisenosato said he was pleased to be holding the Emperor's Cup trophy at last.\n\n\"I've finally got my hands on it and the sense of pleasure hasn't changed,\" he said. \"It's hard to put into words but it has a nice weight to it.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSouthampton reached the EFL Cup final at Wembley with a fully deserved victory over two legs against Liverpool - crowned by Shane Long's late winner at Anfield.\n\nClaude Puel's side, defending a 1-0 lead from the first leg, should have put the tie out of Liverpool's reach inside the first 45 minutes but Dusan Tadic's close-range shot was blocked by keeper Loris Karius and captain Steve Davis blazed another great chance wildly over.\n\nLiverpool raised the tempo in front of the Kop in the second half but Daniel Sturridge wasted their two best chances, Fraser Forster acrobatically hooked an Emre Can shot off the line and the hosts also had a late penalty appeal turned down when substitute Divock Origi tumbled under Jack Stephens' challenge.\n\nBut Southampton broke clear in the closing moments and Long finished convincingly from Josh Sims' pass to send them into the their first final in this competition since 1979, where they will meet either Manchester United or Hull City - a feat achieved without conceding a goal.\n\nSouthampton's date at Wembley on 26 February is a rich tribute to this brilliantly run club and their understated French manager Claude Puel.\n\nSaints were vastly superior over two legs against Liverpool and, despite the home side's complaints about that late penalty claim, no-one could seriously begrudge them their victory.\n\nAnd it was all done without their talisman and key defender Virgil van Dijk, out through injury. Southampton were dangerous on the break in the first half and then, when they needed to be, were superbly organised, disciplined and determined defensively before breaking for Republic of Ireland international Long to strike the killer blow.\n\nSouthampton have once more demonstrated their ability, as a club, to take the blows of key departures and still achieve.\n\nThey lost manager Ronald Koeman to Everton in the summer - as well as important components such as Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mane to Spurs and Liverpool respectively - and have carried on undisturbed with a Wembley appearance as their reward.\n\nLiverpool lose their way - one win in seven matches\n\nLiverpool's laboured performance was in stark contrast to the all-action attacking displays that briefly took them to the top of the Premier League earlier this season.\n\nJurgen Klopp's side looked jaded and have lost their way, with only one win in seven games this year, a third-round FA Cup replay victory at League Two Plymouth Argyle.\n\nLiverpool look shorn of threat without £34m summer signing Mane, away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, and lacking an alternative plan when teams as disciplined as Swansea and Southampton have been in inflicting two successive home defeats.\n\nSturridge felt the frustration of Liverpool's supporters for a poor performance and two missed chances, while substitute Origi looks short of confidence.\n\nKlopp's decision to play Can and Jordan Henderson together in midfield backfired badly and his decision to leave out Georginio Wijnaldum was questionable.\n\nSouthampton's players enjoyed every second of their celebrations with their fans in the Anfield Road end as they looked forward to the chance to win their second major trophy, following an FA Cup triumph over Manchester United at Wembley in 1976.\n\nSaints had several anxious moments in the second half, especially when goalkeeper Forster dropped Can's shot behind him then recovered miraculously to claw it off the line as Sturridge closed in.\n\nThey also survived two penalty appeals - for handball against Long and that fall from Origi - but this was a glory night for Southampton and one they fully deserved.\n\nBBC Radio 5 live pundit Mark Lawrenson: \"Absolutely, totally and utterly deserved.

Voter registration requires applicants to declare their citizenship status, and they could face criminal punishment if they falsely claim citizenship rights.\n\nIn addition to being registered voters, in two-thirds of states, voters are required to bring identification to the polls in order to be allowed to vote. In all states, first-time voters who register to vote by post must provide valid identification before voting.\n\nDonald Trump and his team have referred to two studies they say show the threat posed by unauthorised voting; both have been challenged.\n\nA 2014 study published in Electoral Studies found evidence that suggested non-citizens do vote and \"can change the outcome of close races\". Donald Trump referred to this study on the campaign trail in Wisconsin on 17 October.\n\nThe research has been roundly criticised by political scientists who said it misinterpreted the data. The team behind the research used data collected by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), which is a national survey taken before and after elections. The CCES published a newsletter that disputed the findings and said \"the likely percent of non-citizen voters in recent US elections is 0\".\n\nDuring the campaign, Mr Trump also referred to a 2012 Pew Center on the States study that found 1.8 million dead Americans were still registered. The deceased, alleged Mr Trump, were still voting. The report, however, does not make any statements about this claim.\n\nAlthough it is not impossible for non-citizens to break voting laws, there is no evidence that millions of immigrants without the right to vote influenced the outcome of the popular vote.\n\nElection officials, including those from the Republican Party, have said there was no evidence of mass electoral fraud and senior Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan have distanced themselves from the claim.\n\nBut President Trump tweeted from his personal account on Wednesday to say that he would be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "In a 2014 lecture to students at his former high school, Sean Spicer outlined a set of 17 \"rules for life\" that they would be wise to follow.\n\nRule number 16, he told the students at Portsmouth Abbey in Rhode Island: \"Follow your mom's advice: It's not what you say, but how you say it.

In July 2015, speaking on behalf of the RNC after Mr Trump questioned Republican Senator John McCain's status as a war hero, he said that there was \"no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honourably\".\n\nMr Spicer claimed President Trump's inauguration was the \"largest inaugural crowd ever\"\n\nHe also described Mr Trump's June 2015 comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and criminals as not being \"helpful to the cause\".\n\nBefore joining the RNC, he worked as Assistant US Trade Representative for Media and Public Affairs in the George W.

A slender tabby who lived well beyond her expected years, Pippit enjoyed a long and happy life with us. Finally, at the impressive age of 21, she died just as we returned from a family holiday.\n\nWaking up to find that Pippit hadn't lasted the night, I took it upon myself to break the news to my sister. Sensitivity and tact weren't exactly high in my repertoire when I was 15 - I simply crashed into her room with the line: \"Helen, the cat's dead!\"\n\nI don't know if you've ever seen anyone wake up and immediately burst into tears, but I should take this opportunity to apologise to Helen for what was probably the meanest thing I did to her when we were growing up.\n\nSo, given she has this image of me as callous when it comes to pets - unfair, I hasten to add - she was surprised, when she visited Havana recently, to find just how much Cuba has influenced my attitude towards animals.\n\nThere are no state-funded pet rescue organisations on this communist island, so caring for neighbourhood strays is down to local businesses or residents.\n\nAround a dozen state institutions, from the Central Bank to the Museum of Metalwork, have adopted their own stray dogs. Under the scheme, the homeless hounds are named and duly issued with ID cards, which are placed on their collars to save them from the dog-catcher.\n\nVladimir, a former street dog, with his ID collar in Havana\n\nThe adoption system operates under the premise that they are now officially considered the government buildings' guard dogs, although the ones I've seen are docile street mutts rather than fierce Rottweilers.\n\nThe city government does operate a programme for neutering and spaying strays in Old Havana, but the handful of voluntary animal protection organisations that exist simply can't deal with the sheer numbers across the island.\n\nCubans are by and large dog people. There is a pretty significant culture of dog ownership, even among those who are barely scraping by.\n\nCats, on the other hand get a raw deal. Especially stray ones.\n\nSo, since we arrived in Cuba, we've tried to do our bit. We've already taken in two kittens we found lost and half-drowned during a torrential downpour one night. My girlfriend's mother is now the proud owner of the uniquely named Honorato and Carilda.\n\nBut for my sister, on her recent visit, it was my relationship with Django which really stood out.\n\nA ginger-and-white tomcat, he started life inside our building's parking garage. We would often hear a faint mewing after we parked the car.\n\nAs a kitten, Django would hide deep inside the motor of some diplomat's SUV, seeking refuge by nestling near the carburettor.\n\nOnce he grew a bit and emerged from the darkness of the car park, he was almost instantly adopted by the building.\n\nWe would leave food out for him. As would some Russian neighbours. So, apparently, did Sindi, one of the doormen. He looks like he could find a second job as a nightclub bouncer, but fell for the scruffy, soot-stained Django as much as we did.\n\nDjango was the name my Mum gave the kitten when she came to Havana and it stuck. We were smitten.\n\nEvenings would be interrupted and conversations broken off mid-flow so we could go out and feed him a mixture of leftovers and expensive kibble specially brought in from Mexico.\n\nThe treatment Django received in our building was well above the experience of most alley cats in Cuba with food regularly provided - if not by one neighbour, then another. Sometimes, both.\n\nThat brought with it the inevitable interest of other local waifs and strays. At one time there were three or four more trying to get in on the act. Fair enough - it's a dog-eat-dog world out there for a Cuban cat.\n\nStill, we began to worry. There is a nasty habit in Cuba of angry neighbours removing a constantly barking dog or an unsightly stray cat by feeding it mince laced with rat-poison.\n\nAlternatively - almost as cruelly - the witless pet might be shoved into the back of the car, driven out to the countryside and let out on the roadside, far from home. Noisy neighbourhood dog dealt with, even if the owners are now frantic with worry.\n\nIn the end, nothing like that befell poor Django. It was a far more inevitable fate, under the wheels of a car thundering down 70th Street.\n\nThe headlines of 2016 were full of high-profile deaths. But spare a thought for one of the year's final victims, taken on New Year's Eve in Havana - a much loved, slightly grubby, ginger-and-white street cat called Django.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "This is the weather forecast for the UK.", "Wayne Rooney says it is a \"great feeling\" to break Sir Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record at Manchester United after scoring his 250th goal for the club against Stoke.\n\nWATCH MORE: Goals from the Man Utd record-breaker", "Coverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nAndy Murray's hopes of winning a first Australian Open title ended with a shock defeat by world number 50 Mischa Zverev of Germany in the fourth round.\n\nMurray, the world number one, dropped serve eight times as Zverev won 7-5 5-7 6-2 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena.\n\nIt is the Briton's earliest defeat in Melbourne since 2009, and the lowest-ranked player he has lost to at a Grand Slam since the 2006 Australian Open.\n\nZverev goes on to face Roger Federer in the quarter-finals.\n• Watch highlights of day seven on BBC Two from 17:15 GMT on Sunday.\n\n\"It was kind of easy to stay aggressive but it was tough to stay calm,\" said the German, who won in three hours and 33 minutes.\n\n\"I was expecting to maybe double fault in the last game but somehow I made it.\"\n\nZverev aggression too much for Murray\n\nMurray had been hoping to go one better than five runner-up finishes in Melbourne, but he was unable to cope with the serve-and-volley skills of Zverev.\n\nThe 29-year-old German, a contemporary of Murray from junior days, was ranked outside the world's top 1,000 two years ago after a succession of injury problems.\n\nHe fought his way back up the rankings with an attacking style that he used to great effect against Murray, serve-volleying 119 times and winning 65 points at the net, while dismantling the Briton's second serve.\n\nMurray ended the match with an impressive 71 winners to 28 unforced errors, but it was still not enough against an opponent constantly putting him under pressure.\n\nThe top seed began well, holding points to lead 4-1, but Zverev got the break back with a return winner and would not give the world number one a chance to settle from then on.\n\nZverev recovered another break in game nine and then moved ahead with a delicate drop volley before seeing out the set.\n\nMurray roared in relief when he levelled at a set all with a rasping winner after again being pegged back twice, but from midway through the third set it was clear that Zverev was the man in command.\n\nHe reeled off five straight games to move two sets to one and a break up, and despite one desperately nervous smash into the net - managed to serve his way to victory.\n\nThe defeat is Murray's worst at a Grand Slam, in terms of the ranking of his opponent, since he lost to world number 51 Juan Ignacio Chela at Melbourne Park in 2006.\n\nHis chances of finally landing the third leg of the career Grand Slam looked to have been enhanced following the surprise defeat of six-time champion Novak Djokovic in the second round.\n\nHowever, the wait for a first Australian Open title goes on and Murray will turn his attention to Britain's Davis Cup tie in Canada next month.\n\n\"He deserved to win because he played great when he was down, and also in the important moments,\" said Murray.\n\n\"I was kind of behind in the last couple of sets the whole way but I have had tough losses in the past and I have come back from them.\"\n\nAndy will obviously be very disappointed but hopefully in a couple of days' time he can look back and realise what he's done over the last decade in Slams is absolutely phenomenal.\n\nSo as much as this one hurts, he's got an incredible record and he's got time now to go and prepare for the next one, the French Open and onwards.\n\nMischa Zverev played great. It was much talked about beforehand, he plays in a way that other players just aren't used to playing against - serve and volley all the time on the first serve, a lot of times on the second, hitting and coming in off returns. It just made it more difficult to get into the match because there's no rhythm.\n\nI don't think this has any reflection whatsoever on how the rest of the year goes - they are here to play 18, 19 tournaments I think Andy plays on average per year - he's got all the Slams coming up, he's still world number one and in a very strong position.\n\nOne loss is not going to rock the boat too much or blow him off course. If anything it will motivate him to probably work harder - he's somebody who analyses these things, he likes to look into the reasons, what he could've done better, what went wrong and that's his mind, that's the way he works, that's why he's successful and he will use it along those lines to carry on.\n\nHe'll probably have another great year, he's in the driving seat.", "Sir Bobby Charlton says Wayne Rooney is \"a true great for club and country\" after the striker broke his Manchester United all-time goalscoring record.\n\nRooney's injury-time equaliser at Stoke on Saturday was his 250th for United, breaking Charlton's 44-year-old record.\n\n\"I would be lying to say that I'm not disappointed to have lost the record,\" Charlton, 79, told the United website.\n\n\"However, I can honestly say that I'm delighted for Wayne.

Now Wayne becomes a legend of Manchester United.\"\n\nStoke boss Mark Hughes, who had two spells as a striker with United said: \"It is an outstanding record and won't be surpassed.

I am proud and I hope there is more to come.\n\n\"The players who have played for this club have been world class. I am proud to play for this club and to be all-time goalscorer is a huge honour.\"\n\nAsked about Charlton by Gary Lineker for the BBC's Match of the Day, Rooney added: \"He's such an iconic figure, and has been for so long. When you sign for the club, you realise how important he is. To surpass him in goals is something I never thought I'd do. I have the utmost respect for him.\n\n\"He came and congratulated me in the dressing room so I know he's pleased in some way.\n\n\"I'm a team player but records are important. When you finish your career you can look back on it and it's something to tell your kids.\"\n\nManchester United and England team-mate Michael Carrick hailed Rooney's longevity and ability to bounce back from criticism.\n\n\"It is tough to play so many games and have that scrutiny on you constantly, and how he has dealt with that and answered back, and how he has shut people up when they have questioned him, he is still going strong and it is not easy to do,\" the midfielder told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek.\n\n\"When he burst on to the scene he was so hungry and aggressive and explosive. He has calmed that down but he is quality in and around the box, to find that pass or that finish. He has done it all his career - 12-13 years - and to do it for so long is an incredible achievement and shows how good he is.\n\n\"I have seen more of Wayne than others like Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best. They are all icons and legends, not just for Manchester United but for football in general, and Wayne is right up there with the best of them. For him to get the record for club and country is an incredible achievement and something he should be proud of.\"\n\nFormer England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who had urged the media not to \"kill\" Rooney when he left as national boss in 2006, called him a great player.\n\n\"He's still a fantastic player. He's clever and can play in different positions. He can play as striker, second striker, winger, midfielder,\" said the Swede.\n\nCurrent England boss Gareth Southgate told the Football Association official website: \"When you look at whose record he has broken and the way Sir Bobby is revered in this country and by his club, it shows you what an achievement it is.\n\n\"To have scored that many goals you have got to have performed so consistently over such a long period of time, which is a mark of an outstanding player.

If they renounced the government in Baghdad and pledged to live under IS rules, then they'd go free.\n\nAbu Alawi stayed in hiding. At first in his home or a bolthole dug in his garden. But IS searches became more stringent and he realised that he'd have to move further afield.\n\nAhmed, 22, from a pro-government militia, stands in a burnt-out building used by IS as a prison\n\nThe solution, he decided, was a niqab - the black, face-concealing veil that IS forces all women under its rule to wear. From then on, when a sympathetic friend would tip him off about impending searches, he'd shroud his moustachioed face and portly figure and move somewhere safer, disguised as a woman.\n\nThere was a thrill, he said, in \"playing\" with IS, but when he passed close by the black-clad militants it wasn't fun any more. Then he feared he'd share the fate of friends who'd donned the same disguise but been less lucky, or less convincing, and were arrested as a result.\n\n\"They were near to me so many times and I was so afraid,\" he said, miming a heart pounding in his chest. \"All the time I was thinking I was going to be checked and discovered.\"\n\nIS eventually left Hammam al-Alil, setting oil wells alight as it went\n\nHammam al-Alil is a former spa town, once famous for the therapeutic powers of its thermal springs. It's hard to imagine holidaymakers visiting now. I met Abu Alawi there as he waited for a Danish non-governmental organisation to distribute blankets and solar heaters on a cold and damp winter morning. Men and women split into separate queues and stood patiently between the muddy puddles.\n\nAfter IS arrived, I was told, they gathered the former officers in the town's main square. Then they blindfolded them, loaded them on to trucks that drove a short way out of town, and shot or beheaded them.\n\nFederal police took me to one mass grave, a police shooting range turned rubbish dump. The awful smell was the first sign of what had happened there.\n\nThen came the clouds of flies and, lying amid the refuse, between discarded children's toys and food packaging, the badly decomposed remains of a man - his hands and legs bound and marked by signs of torture.\n\n\"Under here it's all bodies,\" our escort said, gesturing towards a series of narrow trenches covered with bulldozed earth and he cautioned that the area was probably still booby-trapped with improvised explosive devices. He estimated there were at least 350 people buried in the area.\n\nAnother man in the aid distribution queue, Abu Ali - younger, taller and thinner than Abu Alawi - produced his old police ID card.\n\nHe'd buried it in his garden while IS was here, and he too had survived the massacre, in part thanks to a niqab.\n\n\"All I did was hide, hide and wear the veil like this,\" he said, stooping over to minimise his stature.\n\nHis brother, a fellow officer, was executed, leaving behind a wife and seven children. And when they left Hammam al-Ali, IS took Abu Ali's father with them to Mosul as a human shield.\n\nThis was not a unique story. Everyone I spoke to in the town had lost someone, some entire families. One militia member in his early 20s said IS had killed his parents and murdered or captured seven of his brothers.\n\nBut a semblance of normal life has in some ways returned to the town.\n\nAt the dilapidated thermal baths near the banks of the Tigris, smiling children and soldiers played in the warm waters.\n\nOthers collected grey mineral-rich mud in bottles and touted its therapeutic qualities.\n\nIt may be the start of healing, but the scars of occupation by IS will last for some time yet.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said he was happy to see the rumours about Diego Costa come to an end after his goal in the 2-0 win over Hull City.\n\nThe Spain striker missed the 3-0 win at Leicester, citing a back injury after a disagreement with a coach, amid reports of Chinese Super League interest.\n\nHowever, he scored the opener on Sunday as the Blues went eight points clear.\n\n\"I am pleased for him and for the fans and club.

But the Belgian creators of a play, Us/Them, which relives the atrocity through the eyes of two children, say recent attacks have brought the story closer to home.\n\nThe actress Gytha Parmentier has now played Us/Them in three languages.\n\nWhen the play opened in 2014 she was speaking in her native Flemish. Later she had to translate into French the words of her character - a young girl who dies in the Beslan siege.\n\nNow she's making the one-hour piece work in English opposite Roman Van Houtven, the only other member of cast.\n\nLast year the play was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival and it has now arrived at London's National Theatre.\n\n\"Acting in English, Roman and I had to learn to move our mouths in a very different way,\" she said. \"But acting in a different language gives a new juiciness to what's in the script.\"\n\nThat script is by Carly Wijs, who also directs. She recalls the spark for the play came when her eight year-old son mentioned news coverage he'd just seen of the terror attack at the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi in 2013.\n\n\"Godfried had been watching the report on the children's news and I was struck by the way he described it. He spoke in a way which was almost aloof - at eight you're just becoming aware of things which are on your planet but not really of your own world of home and family.\n\n\"Then Bronks, which is a fantastic production company in Brussels, asked me for a theatre idea for children. So I thought I would break a taboo by writing about Beslan while borrowing Godfried's tone and his very objective manner.\"\n\nIn Belgium Wij/Zij has been listed as suitable for children of nine and above; in London the National Theatre pitches Us/Them for young people aged 12 and over.\n\nThe highly physical production is made for touring and the Dorfman stage at the National is almost bare apart from balloons and string.\n\nThe production avoids the off-putting cuteness which can trip up adult actors impersonating young children. The result is heart-breaking yet somehow heart-warming too.\n\nThe show may not strike theatregoers in advance as an obvious excursion for kids. But it's an unexpectedly charming hour in the theatre perfect for family viewing. However, the National has mainly programmed performances late in the evening which may be a bad call.\n\nWijs says her view of the events of 2004 was influenced by one TV documentary in particular.\n\n\"There was a beautiful BBC programme called Children of Beslan which was helpful: they spoke to many survivors. But our play isn't a documentary. It has to work for children who know nothing of Beslan and also for their parents who remember all that went on.\"\n\nParmentier says there are clear differences between how children and grown-ups react.\n\n\"Adults tend to laugh and cry in a different way: often the laughter is in relief when they think something horrible is about to happen on the stage and it doesn't.\n\n\"I think parents automatically work out a narrative arc in their minds but children are happy to switch their attention from one thing to another.\"\n\nWijs thinks for children almost the most horrifying thing is when the girl has to undress to her underwear because it's getting hot and stuffy in the school gymnasium.\n\n\"To them it's a nightmare but I suspect adults barely register the moment.\"\n\nThe play pre-dates last March's terror attacks in Brussels in which a total of 35 people died and hundreds were injured. Wijs lived in the Molenbeek district, a focus in the city of Islamist radicalisation.\n\n\"We haven't changed the play because of those bombings but if the Brussels attacks had come first I wonder if I could have created the play. I've just done another play in Brussels which is full of light and comedy - it's a reaction to the depressing times we live in.\n\nBut both women say they haven't ignored recent violence closer to home.\n\n\"In 2015 in Belgium we had a performance in Namur in (French-speaking) Wallonia, a few days after the Bataclan attack in Paris\", says Parmentier.\n\n\"We and the theatre thought hard about whether we should cancel: would it be too hard to watch a play about so many people being killed? But instead the theatre arranged an audience discussion after the show and people were full of questions about what they had just seen.

Along with Djokovic, he is the best returner in the world - and if he does not manage to pass you, then he is more than likely to send a top spin lob fizzing over your head to within inches of the baseline.\n\nBut Zverev served superbly, and volleyed even better, again and again and again. The German hit some astonishing returns and made short shrift of Murray's second serve. And when the pressure started to rise, his level did not start to fall.\n\nPinned behind the baseline too frequently for comfort, Murray started missing more regularly. The Scot was unable to turn the tide or summon up the aggression that served him so well in the second half of last season.\n• None Has Djokovic's obsession burnt itself out?\n\nAndre Agassi addressed this subject before the match. The four-time Australian Open champion was very complimentary about Murray in a video link to Melbourne Park on Saturday, as he explained how the 29-year-old could improve still further.\n\n\"I have always sort of talked about Andy as a person that has never really utilised his game to his maximum potential. He's so good at certain things that it almost makes him a bit indecisive,\" Agassi said.\n\n\"If you actually minimised his defensive skills just 5%, he might even actually be a better player.\n\n\"He puts himself through unnecessary wear and tear on a court, because his offensive upside is, I think, still more than he shows.\"\n\nMurray says he will now reflect on whether he could have done anything differently to prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year. He only had time for two weeks off after a frenetic end to last season, and must now balance the need for rest with his instinctive desire to play in Great Britain's Davis Cup first-round tie in Canada the week after next.\n\nMurray suggested in the immediate aftermath of defeat that he intends to play in Ottawa, but his coaching team may well argue he should take a longer break before heading to Dubai in late February. The first two Masters events of the year follow in Indian Wells and Miami.\n\nThere is no immediate threat to Murray's world number one ranking - he will be 1,715 points ahead of Serb Djokovic when the list is refreshed at the end of the Australian Open.\n\nHe is certain to be number one until at least May because he has just a handful of ranking points to defend between now and the start of the clay court season.\n\nCan anything further be read into the early exits of both Murray and Djokovic, who will both have turned 30 by the time the next Grand Slam is staged at Roland Garros in four months?\n\nAgeing players are once again doing very well at this Australian Open, with half of the 12 men left in the draw on Sunday night older than the pair of them.\n\nAnd yet in the modern era, men have found it tricky to win Grand Slam titles in their thirties. Stan Wawrinka and Agassi have each done it twice, but even Roger Federer has managed it only once.\n\nMats Wilander, who won the last of his seven Grand Slam titles at the age of 24, explains why it can become harder to find the consistency required over seven rounds.\n\n\"You have good days and you have bad days when you get older,\" Wilander told BBC Sport.\n\n\"You don't have to call on anything when you are younger - it's just there naturally. You don't worry about the consequences, you just play and you fight until the bitter end. I think the mind gets in your way when you get older.\"\n\nThere are still three Grand Slam champions left in the draw, with Federer, Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal all now over 30. The younger challenge is led by Milos Raonic, Dominic Thiem and Grigor Dimitrov.\n\nAlong with Federer - who will not now have to face Murray in the quarter-finals - it may be Raonic who takes most heart from Sunday's events.\n\nYou will not find him at the net as often as Zverev, but he did add the 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek to his team in December with the explicit intention of trying to move forward on a more regular basis.\n\nWe are a long way from declaring a new serve-and-volley era, but Melbourne Park's quicker courts have contributed to an enthralling first week - unless, that is, you happen to be ranked number one or two in the world.", "And finally Teddy Everett sent in an image titled Fruit ninja.

They grabbed the game by the throat and didn't let go.\n\nFrom the opening minutes, when they went through 27 phases before Seymour finished brilliantly in the corner, their quality was not in a different league to Leicester's, but a different planet.\n\nThey came with bazookas and found that Leicester were packing peashooters. Wilson and Swinson were ridiculously good as ball-carriers and leaders but they had a heavy-duty cavalry with them.\n\nThe wit and variety in Glasgow's game was a joy. Leicester - missing some big names, it's true - were utterly humiliated in their own back yard. Their heroes of the past would have turned away from it all after barely 20 minutes of play.\n\nRussell's boot had Glasgow 10-0 ahead by then. Mathew Tait was harshly binned soon after for a late shoulder on the splendid Lee Jones and while he was away, Glasgow accumulated a points mountain.\n\nLeicester had no ball, not a lot of discipline and no way of surviving.\n\nWhen Glasgow went for a try off a driven line-out, the Tigers collapsed it and a penalty try was given. Before Tait returned, Glasgow scored again. Another beauty.\n\nIt began in midfield when Gordon Reid and Swinson kept it alive in contact. Russell swept left where Glasgow had numbers, and Jones and Wilson put Bennett over in the corner.\n\nRussell's conversion made it 24-0. The relentless barrage and total monopoly of the ball carried on and on.\n\nTait returned to the defensive line, but it made no difference. Clever footwork from Jones put Gray over for the bonus-point score. The conversion made it an eye-watering 31-0.\n\nWithin eight minutes of the start, Wilson got on the ball yet again from a clever line-out routine and blasted through what constituted Leicester defence. A brown paper bag would have offered more resistance.\n\nWilson finished what he started to bring it to 38-0. Swinson added another just after the tour - two huge performers on the day getting their reward.\n\nThe Leicester fans were vanishing now.

but when carmakers previously resisted efficiency rules, they ended up producing such uncompetitive gas-guzzlers that the industry had to be bailed out.\n\nEven Republican plans to boost extraction of fossil fuels, while popular in some states because the industries create jobs, will provoke local resistance from people who don't want oil pipelines, or don't want the tops blown off their mountains to get to coal.\n\nIt may be hard to persuade investors to put cash into coal anyway.\n\nMany states will resist fossil fuels, too.\n\nCalifornia has long led the way on car emissions and recently insisted it will keep its right to set its own tighter regulations for cars.\n\nMr Trump's team may try to rescind this.\n\nThe Paris climate agreement resulted in 195 nations pledging to reduce emissions\n\nThere are already CO2 trading schemes between states on the east and west coasts, and last week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced plans to build enough offshore wind capacity by 2030 to power 1.25 million homes.\n\nHere's the big picture: as the world moves together to tackle climate change, it is clearly problematic if the biggest historic polluter threatens to pull in the opposite direction.\n\nWill Angela Merkel, for instance, be so sanguine about Germany's controversial switch to renewables if the US forces its already-low energy prices even lower, triggering protests from German industry?\n\nIn the words of Jo Haigh, professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College, London: \"If Trump does what he said he'd do, and others follow suit, my gut feeling is that I'm scared.

As Quartz pointed out, this is more than the annual gross domestic product of Bolivia.\n\nMr Trump's triumph is also significant because, until now, no-one has been elected president in more than 60 years without experience as a state governor or in Congress.\n\nThe last president with no political experience, Dwight Eisenhower, was Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in World War Two, before he was elected to office in 1953.\n\nSome Trump voters saw his lack of political experience as a guarantee of authenticity\n\nBut as Mr Trump tells it, his lack of links to the Washington establishment is an asset not a flaw - and more than made up for by his experience as a deal-maker.\n\nMr Trump has named his son-in-law, real estate developer Jared Kushner, as a senior adviser - prompting cries of nepotism from opponents.\n\nSome claim the appointment makes the 36-year-old the most powerful presidential son-in-law in US history.\n\nHe isn't the first to fit that profile, however.\n\nPresident Woodrow Wilson's Treasury Secretary, William Gibbs McAdoo, was also married to his daughter, Eleanor.\n\nFirst Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are set to wield considerable clout\n\nThat said, their case pre-dates America's 1967 anti-nepotism statute, and Mr McAdoo was already a cabinet secretary when he wed.\n\nIvanka Trump, Mr Trump's elder daughter and wife of Mr Kushner, is also being spoken of as the most influential \"First Daughter\" ever.\n\nSo much fuss has been made of what Donald Trump owns that you might have missed one glaring absence - a pet.\n\nIt looks likely that he'll be the first US President in over a century not to have an animal pal in the White House, after plans to have him adopt a goldendoodle dog reportedly fell through.\n\nAccording to the Presidential Pet Museum, almost every commander-in-chief has had a pet, and some had a virtual menagerie.\n\nJohn F Kennedy stands out for owning a veritable Noah's Ark - everything from a rabbit named Zsa Zsa to a canary called Robin - but the crown belongs to Calvin and Grace Coolidge (White House occupants from 1923-1929), who the museum says \"quite literally had a zoo\".\n\nBarack Obama's Portuguese Water Dog, Bo, is among the more traditional pets to live at the White House\n\nTheir animal companions included at least a dozen dogs, a donkey named Ebenezer, and various creatures presented as gifts by foreign dignitaries - among them lion cubs, a wallaby, a pygmy hippo named Billy, and a black bear.\n\nDonald Trump won the presidency on a pro-job platform, and has blamed free-trade policies for the collapse of the US manufacturing industry.\n\nThis is a rare stance for a US president, probably last seen in his fellow Republican Herbert Hoover in the 1930s.\n\nIn September 2015, Mr Trump told the Economist China is \"killing us\", and that millions of Americans are \"tired of being ripped off\".\n\nHe said that as president, he would consider a 12% import tax to make the Chinese \"stop playing games\".\n\nDuring his election campaign, Mr Trump also threatened to rip up Nafta, the free trade agreement between Canada, the US and Mexico, which has been in place for 23 years.\n\nThe Republican has long been opposed to the TPP, which he views as a poor deal for the US\n\nHe also vowed that the US would quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, a 12-nation agreement, on his first day in the White House.\n\nFormer model Melania Trump is as trailblazing as her husband.\n\nShe will be the first presidential spouse from Slovenia, and the first non-native English speaker.\n\nShe is only the second FLOTUS born outside the US, though - the first being Louisa Adams, wife of the sixth US President, John Quincy Adams (1825-1829), who was born in London.\n\nAs Mr Trump has been married twice before, Melania will also be the first third wife to reside in the White House. The only other US president to have divorced was Ronald Reagan, who split from his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, long before leading the nation.\n\nMelania speaks Slovenian, English, French, German, and Serbian, and may be the most competent linguist to hold the role of FLOTUS.\n\nMelania Trump will be the first non-native English speaker to be FLOTUS\n\nShe is the first president's wife to have posed nude, for GQ magazine in 2000 among others.\n\nMr Trump is no stranger to men's magazines either. He appeared on the cover of Playboy in March 1990 with the tag-line: \"Nice magazine, want to sell it?\"", "Last updated on .From the section Winter Sports\n\nSkier Dave Ryding matched Britain's best ever alpine World Cup result when he finished second in the Kitzbuhel slalom in Austria.\n\nHe was leading after the first run but was beaten by home favourite Marcel Hirscher to record the first podium of his career.\n\nIt was the best result for just over 35 years, since Konrad Bartelski came second in a downhill in Italy in 1981.\n\nThe 30-year-old had finished sixth and seventh already this season.\n\nHe told BBC Sport: \"The first run was just insane. I knew I had skied it clean, but couldn't believe it when I crossed the finish line.\n\n\"In between runs I tried not to get the heart rate up or get stressed. I was trying to tell myself I wasn't the last one to go but it was tough. It was a mental battle with myself but I won the mental battle.\n\n\"Hirscher skied so well, so coming second almost felt like a victory. It's crazy. I'm just really proud of what I've achieved.\"\n\nThe Lancastrian races without UK Sport funding after it was withdrawn from the alpine programme in 2010 but does receive other sponsorship.\n• None Watch highlights from Kitzbuhel on Ski Sunday on BBC Two and online from 18:15 GMT.\n\nRyding, who learnt to ski on a dry slope at Pendle Ski Club, has been a member of the British ski team since 2006 and competed in the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics, finishing 17th.\n\nHe had a 0.29 seconds lead over Italy's Stefano Gross going into the second run with Hirscher 1.02 seconds behind. But the Austrian, who won the race in 2013 and has won the overall slalom title three times, had a storming second run to move from seventh to first, with Ryding ending up 0.76 seconds adrift.\n\nMore than 60,000 spectators were watching and Ryding said the noise was deafening.\n\n\"Kitzbuhel is like the FA Cup final in England. The downhill race is the number one but the slalom is also massive. The fans are incredible.\"\n\nThe alpine ski World Cup was formed in 1967 and, in 50 years of racing, Ryding and Bartelski are the only British men to finish on the podium while Gina Hathorn (1967) and Divina Galica (1968) scored top three finishes on the women's circuit.\n\nWhen Bartelski did it in Val Gardena, Italy, it led a French commentator to say: \"This is not possible, he is English!\"\n\nIn the pre-World Cup era, Britain's Gordon Cleaver won the combined race on the Kitzbuhel's Hahnenkamm course in 1931.\n\nWhile the alpine team are no longer funded by UK Sport, the Great British freestyle ski and snowboard team are.\n\nFollowing Jenny Jones' historic slopestyle bronze in Sochi, they will receive £4.9m for the four-year cycle leading to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.\n\nThey have had numerous World Cup successes with Katie Ormerod becoming the first snowboarder to win a World Cup big air, while cousin Jamie Nicholls has won in slopestyle, Lesley McKenna and Rowan Cheshire in halfpipe and Zoe Gillings-Brier in snowboardcross.\n\nMeanwhile in cross-country skiing, Briton Andrew Musgrave recorded his best World Cup result, when he came sixth in a 15km race in Sweden on Saturday.", "Coverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nAndy Murray says his shock defeat by world number 50 Mischa Zverev at the Australian Open is tough to take.\n\nThe German played aggressively to surprise Britain's world number one and register a 7-5 5-7 6-2 6-4 victory.\n\nMurray, 29, has never won the title despite reaching the final five times, but was favourite to win after Novak Djokovic was knocked out on Thursday.\n\n\"It's a tough loss at one of the biggest events and one that I wanted to do better at,\" Murray told BBC Sport.\n\n\"I get a bit of time off now and try to learn from it and try to understand what I could have done a little bit better, and then come back and try again.\"\n• None Venus eases through to last eight\n\nIt is the first time since 2009 that the Scot has not reached the quarter-finals in Melbourne.\n\nJohanna Konta is now the only Briton left in the singles after Dan Evans' run was ended by France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Sunday.\n\n\"Mischa plays with a game style that not many players play these days and he played it extremely well,\" said Murray.\n\n\"In the slams, with the best-of-five format, you have time to turn things around. There's also time to mess it up as well.\"\n\nZverev's attacking serve-and-volley style meant that Murray was under pressure throughout.\n\nThe Briton grew more frustrated as the match progressed, turning and shouting to his box as he tried to halt Zverev's progress.\n\n\"I was getting myself pumped up and at the end of the set I was trying to get a little more energy, show positive body language,\" he added.\n\n\"I don't think I was flat, it just wasn't to be today. He deserved to win. It's a tough one to lose.\"\n\nA clearly emotional Zverev, who is coached by his parents, paid tribute to his younger brother Alexander after he completed the win over Murray.\n\nAlexander, 19, narrowly missed out on a place in the quarter-finals after a five-set contest with Rafael Nadal on Saturday.\n\n\"My brother inspires me all the time because he plays such great tennis and he challenges me to do better in myself,\" said Zverev, 29.\n\nThe German is the lowest-ranked player to beat Murray at a Grand Slam since Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela, then also ranked 50th, beat him at Melbourne in 2006.\n\nHe will go on to face Roger Federer, who he described as his idol, in the last eight.\n\n\"I was like in a little coma, just serving and volleying my way through it. There were a few points where I didn't know how I pulled it off but somehow I made it,\" Zverev added.\n\n\"It was kind of easy to stay aggressive but it was tough to stay calm. I was expecting to maybe double fault in the last but somehow I made it.\"\n\nAndy will obviously be very disappointed but hopefully in a couple of days' time he can look back and realise what he's done over the last decade in Slams is absolutely phenomenal.\n\nSo as much as this one hurts, he's got an incredible record and he's got time now to go and prepare for the next one, the French Open and onwards.\n\nMischa Zverev played great. It was much talked about beforehand, he plays in a way that other players just aren't used to playing against - serve and volley all the time on the first serve, a lot of times on the second, hitting and coming in off returns. It just made it more difficult to get into the match because there's no rhythm.\n\nI don't think this has any reflection whatsoever on how the rest of the year goes - they are here to play 18, 19 tournaments I think Andy plays on average per year - he's got all the Slams coming up, he's still world number one and in a very strong position.\n\nOne loss is not going to rock the boat too much or blow him off course. If anything it will motivate him to probably work harder - he's somebody who analyses these things, he likes to look into the reasons, what he could've done better, what went wrong and that's his mind, that's the way he works, that's why he's successful and he will use it along those lines to carry on.\n\nHe'll probably have another great year, he's in the driving seat.", "Conflict and militancy may be first things that occur to many about Iraq, but a group of young fashion-conscious Kurds are hoping to help project a brighter, more optimistic image - and perhaps effect social change along the way.\n\nThe group calls itself Mr Erbil, after the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq that has been at the frontline of the struggle against the militants of the Islamic State (IS) group.\n\nMr Erbil's launch and first photoshoot last February quickly made waves on social media.

To lose a game in that fashion, with an offside not given, is tough, particularly when you come to tough places like this,\" said Burnley boss Dyche.\n\n\"We know how tough this division is but you need officials to make the right decisions and that is the shame today. The officials have to be brave at places like this, I understand that, but you've got to think it has to be given.\"\n\nAn entertaining, if slightly routine, game had its complexion changed on 65 minutes when Xhaka's needless challenge on Defour saw him sent off by referee Moss after consultation with the linesman.\n\nThe 24-year-old's dismissal was his fifth in the league since the start of last season - more than any other player in Europe's top five divisions - and his second of this campaign, having also been sent off by Moss against Swansea in October.\n\nHis ninth red card in three seasons could have an adverse effect on Arsenal's title hopes with the midfielder now banned for the next four matches, including a crucial Premier League match at Chelsea on 4 February.\n\nPrior to his reckless tackle, Xhaka displayed his impressive range of passing, releasing the likes of Mesut Ozil and Sanchez from deep and showing why he will be missed.\n\nXhaka's red also sparked an ill-disciplined end to the game for Arsenal, with Mustafi booked for dissent and Wenger also sent off for a futile protest against Burnley's penalty, for which he later apologised.\n\n\"I didn't see any penalty from outside but I should have shut up and I apologise, even if I was frustrated,\" said the Arsenal boss once tensions had cooled.\n\nSanchez's late winner provided a sickening end note for Dyche - who was taking charge of his 200th Burnley game - after he had appeared to get his tactics just right for long periods of the game.\n\nDespite not electing to use a five-man midfield to try and match Arsenal, his side were disciplined in staying behind the ball to force the hosts into attempting increasingly elaborate ways of opening them up, while the pace of Gray kept Mustafi and Koscielny honest on the break.\n\nThe nature of Arsenal's opener will therefore irk Dyche, as Mustafi was easily able to free himself of the Burnley defence's attention to apply a simple finish to Ozil's corner, with no-one stationed on the back post.\n\nWith Arsenal down to 10 men, Dyche sent on Joey Barton and Sam Vokes and though Cech was rarely called into action, they applied enough pressure to induce a mistake as Gray scored the equaliser Burnley perhaps deserved.\n\nYet once again, they could not hold firm to secure a positive result on the road, falling to their ninth defeat in 10 away games this season.\n\nThe Clarets have secured 25 points at Turf Moor this year, just one less than Arsenal at the Emirates, but are bottom of the Premier League away table with a solitary point.\n\nWhat the managers said\n\nArsenal manager Arsene Wenger: \"We finally got the win but of course it was very difficult for us.

So too were pages about LGBT rights and various science policies.\n\nBut, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Pages about everything were deleted as what was essentially Obama’s homepage was replaced with Trump’s.\n\nThat means posts about any former policy positions no longer exist on the White House website if you follow the original links.\n\nSo while the web address pointing to the White House’s position on climate change no longer works, the same can be said about Obama’s pages relating to the economy. Unpredictable as he is, no-one is suggesting Donald Trump is about to describe “money” as a hoax.\n\nThat said, on the new whitehouse.gov, a search for “military” will yield 154 results. “Climate change”? None.\n\nNervous internet sleuths have found one reference to climate change, a promise to lift the \"harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rules\".\n\nMake of that what you will. People on Twitter certainly are.\n\nAlso wiped clean was the White House's petition website. On Friday, by 4pm in DC, only two petitions were posted on the site. The first demanded the release of the President's tax returns. The other demanded he put his businesses in a blind trust. If either petition gets 100,000 signatures, the White House has to provide a response - at least, that was the rule the previous administration set itself.\n\nTrump reportedly gave up his cell phone upon assuming the presidency\n\nSpeaking of which, it’s all change on Twitter too.\n\nFrom today @POTUS - President of the United States - has been taken over by the Trump team. All previous tweets from Obama’s team - and Obama himself - have been deleted from that account, but archived under @POTUS44. The 44 relating of course to the fact Obama was the 44th US President.\n\nThe tweets were not, as a smattering of people blurted out, “deleted by Trump” once he had control of the account.\n\nTwitter removed them - and that's because scrubbing the account of Obama’s tweets is a smart move for everyone involved. Had Twitter left the old tweets in place you’ll find yourself seeing people retweeting Obama’s words but with Trump’s identity attached, a recipe for misinformation disaster.\n\nTrump’s first tweet on @POTUS posted a picture and a link to his inaugural address - the full text of which was posted on Facebook. Is Trump having a change of heart over his social network of choice?\n\nMaybe. Facebook certainly offers the chance to speak more clearly at length, and, as the leader of the free world, it would be more useful to post to an audience of almost two billion rather than Twitter’s rather limited 300m.\n\nWe won’t know for sure until about 3am, DC time, tomorrow morning. Everyone will be surely waiting for those twilight hours to see if the President springs back into life posting his thoughts on his own personal account, @realDonaldTrump.\n\nFollow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook", "The UK is set for a hard Brexit from the EU\n\nSo the UK, it seems, is headed out of the European Union's single market, perhaps also out of the customs union.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May has said she wants to preserve barrier-free trade between the UK and the EU as far as possible.\n\nOne option that has been floated, if the two sides can't agree a comprehensive free trade agreement, is sectoral deals. They might cover cars, for example, or perhaps financial services.\n\nBut there is a problem with this approach: World Trade Organization rules.\n\nPerhaps the most fundamental idea behind the WTO's rule book is non-discrimination.\n\nIt goes by the rather confusing name of \"most favoured nation\".\n\nIt is Article 1 of the WTO's main legal agreement. It means that you must give the same degree of access to your home market that you give to the most favoured nation to all WTO members. A favour for one should be given to all.\n\nYou should not discriminate for or against any WTO member.\n\nThere are a few situations where the rules allow countries to depart from this principle - the one that is relevant here is for free-trade areas and customs unions (the two have important similarities, but are not the same).\n\nThe World Trade Organization is based in Geneva and came into being in 1995\n\nThe WTO's rule book says the member countries \"recognise the desirability of increasing freedom of trade by the development, through voluntary agreements, of closer integration between the economies of countries parties to such agreements\".\n\nSo a trade agreement between the UK and the EU would be allowed under WTO rules, in fact welcomed, even though it is something that is intrinsically discriminatory. It would involve the EU and the UK discriminating in favour of each other against outside countries.\n\nOf course, the EU itself has the same effect, offering EU members better access to each other's markets than is available to either China or the United States, for example.\n\nBut there is a catch. The WTO rules say such agreements should cover \"substantially all the trade\" between the members of the customs union or free-trade area.\n\nWhat does \"substantially all\" mean? There is some case law which touched on this. A dispute between Turkey (which has a customs union agreement with the EU) and India went to the WTO's appeals body, which said in its report: \"It is clear, though, that 'substantially all the trade' is not the same as all the trade, and also that 'substantially all the trade' is something considerably more than merely some of the trade.\"\n\nNot as cut and dried as you might hope, but all the trade experts I have spoken to say that a deal covering just a few sectors wouldn't qualify.\n\nThat seems to be reinforced by what a WTO dispute panel said in another case. This one, as it happens was about cars, an agreement between the US and Canada in the 1960s known as the Auto Pact.\n\nThere is one line in the panel's ruling that is particularly relevant here: \"The Auto Pact, nevertheless, is a purely sectoral agreement which does not meet the requirements of Article XXIV:8\" - that is the provision that sets out the \"substantially all the trade\" requirement.\n\nSo such a narrow sectoral deal might well be vulnerable to challenge in the WTO.\n\nBut would it actually happen?\n\nThere seems to be a great deal of reluctance to challenge these agreements. (The India v Turkey and Auto Pact disputes were not fundamentally about the wider trade agreements, but about very specific restrictions that the complaining country thought were against the rules.)\n\nMore than 600 of them have been notified to the WTO or its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.\n\nMany are thought to stretch the credibility of \"substantially all trade\", by having various sectors uncovered.\n\nBut that makes countries reluctant to challenge others, for fear of shining an unwelcome light on their own agreements. As one senior trade official put it to me: \"It's a glass houses kind of thing.\"\n\nSo a sectoral agreement between the UK and the EU might be challenged, but it would depend on whether any country wanted to do so.\n\nThink of cars. There is another factor that might make a challenge less likely. Japan and the United States have car industries that have a presence in Europe and might well benefit from a deal between the EU and UK.\n\nSo perhaps we might get away with a narrow trade agreement. Even so, the uncertainty would be unwelcome to the industry concerned.\n\nThere is also the possibility of simply ignoring any unwelcome WTO ruling. The WTO has no real powers of enforcement. It can allow the other side to retaliate, but it can't arrest the trade minister.\n\nOn the other hand, the British government appears to be keen on the rules-based system of international trade and would probably be very uncomfortable about defying a ruling.\n\nAll the more reason, if the UK and the EU are going to have a trade agreement, to get as many sectors covered as possible, to reduce the chances of a WTO challenge.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Tamil actress Trisha Krishnan deleted her Twitter account as a result of a row over bull-taming\n\nA ban on the ancient practice of bull-taming has spurred thousands to protest in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. While the demonstrations have been mostly peaceful, the argument over the festival has turned ugly online.\n\nThis week around 4,000 protesters camped out on a beach in the state's capital, Chennai (Madras) - with hundreds more gathering in other parts of the state.\n\nThe crowd, who are mostly students, are against India's ban on Jallikattu, a 2,000 year old bull-taming tradition, which takes place as part of an annual harvest festival.\n\nBull-taming involves men chasing and removing prizes tied to the bull's horns. Animal rights activists argue it's abusive and results in mistreatment of the animals, but protesters contend the practice central to Tamil identity and that the bulls are rarely harmed or killed.\n\nThe men participating in Jallikattu attempt to grab prizes attached to the bull's horns\n\nJallikattu was banned by India's supreme court in 2014, a ruling that was upheld in 2016. The lawsuit that led to the ban was filed by animal rights groups including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). And as protests against the ban have spread, PETA activists and supporters have found themselves targeted on social media.\n\n\"I have been threatened with rape I'm called all sorts of names which I can't repeat,\" says Poorva Joshipura, CEO of PETA India.\n\n\"The general public are being incited and influenced through lies and online bullying and fake news which has unfortunately become so common in our world today,\" Joshipura tells BBC Trending radio.\n\nShe takes particular issue with memes containing false personal information which have been shared online.\n\n\"One is a picture of me wearing my vegan boots (footwear made without leather or any animal ingredients), boots that I really like a lot. The meme falsely says that the boots are made of leather,\" Joshipura says. \"I have been campaigning against the leather industry for years.\"\n\nHear more on this story on the BBC World Service.\n\nThe Indian film actress Trisha Krishnan has also been caught up in the debate. In 2010, Krishnan worked on a PETA campaign. Reports on social media suggested that she had tweeted, and then deleted, her support of a Jallikattu ban.\n\nOne of the social media posts spreading about the actress was a fake obituary claiming she had died of HIV.\n\nThe faked obituary poster of Trisha Krishnan lists cause of death as \"HIV affected\" - insinuating that the actress is sexually promiscuous. It also calls her father a \"poramboku\" (wastrel) and her mother a \"peethasirukki\" (boastful woman).\n\nIn response, Krishnan first denied that she supported the ban and later deactivated her Twitter account, releasing a statement saying: \"I'm a proud Tamilian by birth and I believe and respect the Tamil culture and tradition and I will never go against the sentiments of my own people who have been instrumental in my growth and stature.\"\n\nKrishnan declined a request by BBC Trending for an interview. Her spokesperson told us that \"PETA and Trisha are separate\", stressing that the actress had only collaborated with the group on one campaign.\n\nBull tamers must hold on to the animal's hump for about 15-20 metres or three jumps of the bull to win a prize\n\nKrishnan wasn't the only high profile person targeted on social media. The actor Vishal also received online backlash for being a supporter of PETA, and subsequently deactivated his Twitter profile.\n\nFalse allegations that the PETA India CEO Poorva Joshipura wears leather boots have been circulating online\n\nThe pictures and rumours have been spread by groups such as Chennai Memes, a politically active viral marketing agency which made up the leather boots rumour about Poorva Joshipura.\n\nGautam Govindaram, one of the founders of Chennai Memes, defended the group's decision in creating the meme, telling BBC Trending: \"I'm sure she has at least one product that is made of leather. She can't say that she has never used any product in her lifetime that has not been made of leather. I can be 100% sure I mean if she's born and she's one year old or two years old she must have come across with something made of leather.\"\n\nOperating primarily on Facebook, Chennai Memes create around 20 memes a day, often referencing local and national political and social issues.\n\nThe group were cited by local media as being key to galvanising and mobilising the youth-led protests over the Jallikattu ban - creating shareable posters and spreading information on dates and timings of events through their Facebook page, which has more than 600,000 fans.\n\nGovindaram added that the group was not behind the memes targeting the actress Trisha Krishnan.\n\n\"It's not exactly only us, it's the entire people here in the state of Tamil Nadu who are making a stand,\" he says. \"Why should an organisation from another country come here, tell us about our traditions and why do they have the government of India in the palm of their hand?\"\n\nA number of villages in Tamil Nadu are reported to have defied the Jallikattu ban and held bull-taming events this week. And other prominent South Indian film stars, like Rajinikant and Kamal Haasan, have expressed their support of the sport.\n\nNext story: The Instagram star who cuts Michelle Obama's hair\n\nJohnny Wright has several celebrity clients but perhaps none is as famous as the former First Lady.

There could be another £40,000 still outstanding when fee loans are written off after 30 years.\n\nWhen fees start increasing from this autumn, it will mean borrowing about £28,600 for three years, with the amount then rising with inflation each year.\n\nBut while students have battled for years over the headline figure of £9,000 and now £9,250, the Intergenerational Foundation says they're missing the much bigger picture of what it will really cost in repayments.\n\nAnd it's going to publish its findings in a report called The Packhorse Generation.\n\nThese extra costs start to rack up while a student is still at university, because interest is charged as soon as students start their courses, adding thousands to the debt before students have even graduated.\n\nStudents pay back fee loans from their earnings after graduation\n\nStudents start paying back their fee loans once they earn more than £21,000 per year - and the more they earn the more they pay each month, until the debt, plus interest, is cleared.\n\nSo this means total repayments can vary widely.\n\nThe think tank, which campaigns for fairness between generations, forecasts that:\n\nA more likely scenario is that a graduate would start on a lower salary and gradually progress upwards.\n\nAnd the think tank gives an example of someone starting out on £22,000 and then rising over the years to £41,000, with the projection that they would pay back about £31,000 and leave a further £69,000 unpaid.\n\nThese are not necessarily bad deals for students if it helps them into a good career.\n\nBut Estelle Clarke, a former City lawyer on the advisory board of the Intergenerational Foundation, argues that we're failing to understand the \"stranglehold\" of debt that we're building up for young people.\n\nShe also warns we should be looking nervously at the vast scale of write-offs in the current system.\n\nWould the sell-off of student loans mean tougher terms?\n\nAt present the taxpayer picks up the tab for unpaid loans after 30 years, allowing graduates to walk away from tens of thousands of pounds of debt and interest charges.\n\n\"Taxpayers end up paying for this system twice over. Firstly, they will shoulder the burden of an economy deprived of cash as millions of graduates' incomes are diverted to loan repayments,\" says Ms Clarke.\n\n\"And secondly, they shoulder the burden of the non-repayment of most loans due to the extortionate ratcheting up of interest in spite of regular payments made.\"\n\nBut the government has long considered selling off more of the student loan book to the private financial sector.\n\nWould a private operator, looking hungrily at monthly repayments from millions of graduates, want more favourable terms and a bigger slice of that unpaid debt?\n\nMs Clarke warns that there is not nearly enough protection for students against future changes to repayment arrangements to \"extract even more cash from graduates' pockets\".\n\n\"No other lending has so little protection,\" she says.\n\nNew York plans to offer free tuition to middle-income families\n\nBy international standards, the only real comparison for such levels of student borrowing is the United States.\n\nBut as England is increasing the cost of tuition, the US has been trying to reverse out of a spiral of higher fees and higher debt.\n\nThis month the governor of New York announced a plan to scrap tuition fees at state universities and colleges for families earning up to $125,000 (£102,000) per year, which would help 80% of households.\n\nIt reflected deep-seated middle class anxieties about student debt - especially for families not rich enough to afford the fees and not poor enough to get financial support.\n\nThis really can be a lifetime of debt, with warnings this month of aggressive tactics from lenders trying to recover student loans from pensioners, with the over-60s in the US still owing £55bn of student debt.\n\nUnder the Obama administration there had been growing efforts to tackle student debt.\n\nBut with the election of President Trump the future of student loans, now measured in the trillions, has become much less predictable.\n\nThe Department for Education argues that England's system is already extremely accessible, because there are no upfront costs for any students.\n\nInstead the costs are backloaded to be paid after graduates are working.\n\nAnd since graduates are likely to earn more, they can afford the cost of repayments, which in turn supports the next generation of students.\n\n\"The English system of student funding is sustainable, and has been recognised as such by the OECD,\" said a Department for Education spokeswoman.\n\n\"Critically, our system removes financial barriers for anyone hoping to study - with record numbers of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university last year.\"\n\nBut this is something of a turning point - with fees and debts about to begin a long upward curve. And the Intergenerational Foundation's warnings cast a cold light on the scale of the escalating costs.\n\nWill this be the next stage of a sophisticated, self-funding, open-access, affordable university system, or unwitting steps towards a financial sinkhole?\n• None New York to scrap tuition fees for middle class", "Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon launched the new series of Britain's Got Talent in Blackpool.

The tone and tenor of your words count.\"\n\nThe now White House press secretary also told students that they should be true to themselves. Rule number eight, was relevant here, he said. \"Trust your gut. If it does not feel right, use caution.\"\n\nWith that guidance in mind, Mr Spicer's bellicose press conference with the White House press corps on Saturday suggests that the new presidential spokesman will not sugar-coat his words over the next four years.\n\nWhile the press secretary-journalist relationship is naturally an adversarial one, Mr Spicer has, in his first few days in the role, already cast himself as being in open conflict with much of the mainstream media, pledging to \"hold the press accountable\".\n\nThis, it appears, is the frontline of a strategy that White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus described as a will to \"fight back tooth and nail every day\" at supposed media efforts to \"delegitimise\" the president.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

In July 2015, speaking on behalf of the RNC after Mr Trump questioned Republican Senator John McCain's status as a war hero, he said that there was \"no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honourably\".\n\nMr Spicer claimed President Trump's inauguration was the \"largest inaugural crowd ever\"\n\nHe also described Mr Trump's June 2015 comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and criminals as not being \"helpful to the cause\".\n\nBefore joining the RNC, he worked as Assistant US Trade Representative for Media and Public Affairs in the George W. Bush administration: a role that involved promoting the kind of free trade that his boss now fiercely criticises as being unfair for the American worker.\n\nStill, Mr Spicer was loyal to Mr Trump on the campaign trail even as the path-breaking candidate split the party and many Republican luminaries distanced themselves from him.\n\nThe broad-shouldered, compulsively gum-chewing Republican (\"Two and a half packs by noon,\" he told the Washington Post) is a long-time member of the US Navy Reserve.\n\nHe received a Masters degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in Newport in 2012 and is known to be fierce, and deeply competitive.\n\nOne editor who has been blasted many times by Mr Spicer told the Post that her young child recognises his voice on the phone and bursts into tears.\n\nHis wife Rebecca is the chief of communications at the National Beer Wholesalers Association and previously worked in the Bush White House after a career in television news.\n\nAs press secretary, Mr Spicer will serve as President Trump's most visible spokesman, and is expected to hold daily televised media briefings, though he has spoken of his desire to shake up the way White House media is managed.\n\nWhile he has said that Mr Trump will do press conferences, he also wants to utilise technology to \"have a conversation with the American people and not just limit it through the filter of the mainstream media\".\n\nHe has also described White House press briefings as having become \"somewhat of a spectacle\".

The top three posts of all time on its r/aww subreddit, the section for all things cuddly, are all about dogs.\n\n\"But wait!\" you might say. \"The fourth one is a cat!\". Ah, but is it? It begins with a cat, but watch closely as it climbs out of its cage and into the one next to it. What does the cat find? A dog!

Here, Jadhav threatened to pull off something equally astounding:\n• None 49.1 overs - Six - Full ball from Woakes, Jadhav goes deep in his crease and launches over extra cover.\n• None 49.2 overs - Four - Similar delivery, similar stroke, this time a one-bounce four. Six needed from four balls.\n• None 49.4 overs - Dot - Well bowled.

There was nothing in it for the England bowlers and they came up against some fantastic Indian batting.\n\nHere, there was more in the pitch for England and they exploited it very well.\n\nThe Champions Trophy will have these kind of pitches and England look better suited when the ball does a little bit.\n• None 2,090 runs is a new record for a three-match ODI series, beating the 1,892 scored between Asia XI and Africa XI in 2007.\n• None The 7.00 runs scored per over is the second-highest for a series of any length, behind only the 7.15 of England's home series against New Zealand in 2015.\n• None Jason Roy's 220 runs is the second-most by an England player in an away ODI series of three matches. Only Graham Gooch, 242 v Pakistan in 1987, has more.\n• None England registered their first ODI win at Eden Gardens.\n• None Ben Stokes struck a 34-ball half-century, the second-fastest for England against India.

They sit at tables, sifting through evidence that could help identify the missing.\n\nInvestigators check existing DNA samples and collect new ones with the aim of identifying more victims\n\nBones are set out in neat rows, alongside personal items - tattered Yugoslav-era identity documents, wallets and coins. Some workers squat on the floor, cleaning dirt from fragments of clothing.\n\n\"We do a full anthropological re-examination of the case,\" says Dijana Sarzinski, who is managing the \"No Name\" project for the International Commission on Missing Persons.\n\nAs its title suggests, this is an effort to identify remains that have been kept, unclaimed, in mortuaries across Bosnia.\n\nThe remains of thousands of Bosnian war victims are yet to be identified\n\n\"We reassess previously taken DNA samples, determine whether new DNA samples need to be taken and review all the accompanying documentation.

But will this contest go any way to uniting a Left bitterly divided by five years in power, and a president too unpopular to seek a second term?\n\nWith the tide out, the muddy inlet of Saint-Brieuc seems to sleep in the watery afternoon sun. Its shore deserted but for two Portuguese men picking their way along the sand, looking for worms.\n\nThe northern coast of Brittany has until recently been a staunch Socialist area\n\nAbove them, a small, green-topped lighthouse sits on the rocks, and basking in the wan sunlight at its foot is a local pensioner, Patrick Labbe.\n\n\"This is a left-wing stronghold,\" Patrick told me. \"But that's less and less the case. The Socialist Party has been a disaster on social issues - just look around Saint-Brieuc and you'll see so much destitution.\"\n\nSaint-Brieuc sits on the northern coast of Brittany; one of the most reliably Socialist regions in France, and a source of support for left-wing candidates seeking to win the first round of the primary contest on 22 January.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nBut Patrick says attitudes are changing: \"I voted for [President] Hollande, and like a lot of French I'm disappointed.\"\n\n\"The Socialist Party will struggle to pick itself up. There's a lot of abstention. People are turning to the extremes, in particular Marine Le Pen. Those who are really disappointed want a big change.\"\n\nSparking interest in this primary is seen as crucial to reviving the chances of France's governing party, and uniting a scattered field of candidates on the left.\n\nAs Patrick Labbe headed home on his bicycle, Manuel Valls was arriving at a local factory a few kilometres away, to drum up some support.\n\nPeering into the cabs of armoured cars, as men in blue overalls applied the finishing seals, Mr Valls seemed as coolly polite as the atmosphere itself, the workers barely glancing up as their former prime minister passed by.\n\nManuel Valls (R) is currently favourite but Arnaud Montebourg (L) is seen as one of his two main challengers\n\nMr Valls is the favourite to win the left-wing nomination - seen as more authoritative and experienced, according to one poll, if a little remote.\n\nBut after serving as prime minister to France's least popular post-war president, and forcing through some of the government's most hated liberal reforms, his challenge has been to reinvent himself as a unifier of the Left.\n\nSince launching his campaign, the former prime minister has reversed his position on key issues like labour rights, and the government's use of the constitution to bypass parliament.\n\nOne opinion poll suggested Benoit Hamon (R) could win the nomination if he went through to the run-off\n\nPerhaps it's no surprise, given the strong competition from party rebel Arnaud Montebourg, who has been snapping at his heels for weeks. A former industry minister, who was sacked after refusing to support Mr Valls's liberal reforms, he's promised an end to austerity and more investment.\n\nAnd in the past couple of days, hard-left candidate, Benoit Hamon, has surged from behind to challenge Mr Montebourg for a place in the primary run-off on 29 January. Among his core proposals are a monthly payment of €750 (£650; $800) to every French citizen, regardless of income; and the legalisation of cannabis.\n\nA fourth Socialist party candidate and former education minister, Vincent Peillon, is trying to catch up with them with plans to revamp Europe, lower taxes on the poor and invest in green technology.\n\nThree hopefuls from other left-wing parties are currently trailing well behind: Sylvia Pinel (Radical Party of the Left), Jean-Luc Bennahmias (Democratic Front) and Francois de Rugy (Ecology party).\n\nFar-left Jean-Luc Melenchon (L) and Emmanuel Macron are both polling ahead of all the Socialist candidates\n\nBut the real competition could come from outside the primary itself, because two of the Left's most popular politicians aren't even taking part.\n\nJean-Luc Melenchon is running for the presidency on his own, far-left ticket, and could pose a real challenge to candidates like Mr Montebourg or Mr Hamon, should they win.\n\nAnd then there's Emmanuel Macron, the renegade protege of President Hollande, who resigned from his ministerial post to launch a new political movement called En Marche, promising liberal values and a fresh approach to politics.\n\nHis growing appeal among young voters has surprised many sceptics who initially wrote him off as a \"champagne bubble\" that would quickly burst.\n\nThese days his presidential campaign attracts crowds in their thousands, where the leading primary candidates manage only hundreds.\n\nMr Macron classes his movement as \"neither left nor right\" but his centrist agenda is attracting many formerly Socialist voters.\n\nThe truth about this primary contest is that whoever wins the nomination could quickly find themselves face to face with the real battle for the Left.\n\nFollow BBC News coverage on the French presidential election campaign here\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Two British officials failed to win favour from German business leaders in Berlin\n\nThe distinguished audience members were too polite to heckle. But the eye rolling, frowns and audible tutting made it quite clear how the Brexiteers' message was going down with German business leaders.\n\nOwen Paterson, a former minister and Conservative MP, and John Longworth, co-chair of Leave Means Leave, came to Berlin on Saturday with a clear mission - to persuade German business leaders to lobby Chancellor Angela Merkel to give Britain a good trade deal.\n\nThey should have been on safe territory.\n\nThe two men are confident, witty speakers with impressive business and free-trade credentials.\n\nMr Longworth is a former head of the British Chamber of Commerce. Mr Paterson's years spent trading in Germany meant he could open his address with a few remarks in German - which drew an appreciative round of applause - and a well-judged joke about multilingual trade.\n\nBut it turned out they had entered the lion's den.\n\nThe laughter from the audience quickly turned to sniggers as they heard the UK described as \"a beacon of open, free trade around the world\".\n\nWestminster's decision to leave the world's largest free trade area does not look like that to Germany.\n\nWhen Europe was blamed for spending cuts and a lack of British health care provision, there were audible mutters of irritation from the audience.\n\nThe occasional light-hearted attempts at EU-bashing - usually guaranteed to get a cheap laugh with some British audiences - was met with stony silence.\n\nBrexiteers argue German manufacturers will want to still sell to UK customers\n\nIn another setting - at another time - this gathering of the elite of Germany's powerful business community would have lapped up the British wit.\n\nEvery ironic quip would ordinarily have had them rolling in the aisles. But British charm does not travel well these days.\n\nRattled by the economic havoc Brexit could unleash, Germans are not in the mood for gags.\n\nBritain used to be seen by continentals as quirky and occasionally awkward - but reliably pragmatic on the economy.\n\nHowever, since the Brexit vote, Europeans suspect endearing eccentricity has morphed into unpredictable irrationality. The UK has become the tipsy, tweedy uncle, who after too much Christmas sherry has tipped over into drunkenly abusive bore.\n\nWhen the audience was asked how many of them welcomed Brexit, only one hand went up - and it turned out that belonged to a businessman who wanted more EU reform and was fed up with Britain slowing things down.\n\nBrexiteer rhetoric over the past year has often focused on the size of Britain's market and how keen German manufacturers are to sell to British customers.\n\nMany leave campaigners remain convinced that German business leaders will force Mrs Merkel to grant the UK a special free trade deal in order not to lose British trade.\n\nBut that's not what's happening.\n\nAngela Merkel has said Britain will not be able to cherry-pick the best bits of the single market\n\nInstead German firms are remarkably united in their support of the chancellor in her rejection of British \"cherry-picking\" - even if it means losing business in the short-term.\n\nWhen you talk to German bosses they say their top priority is in fact the integrity of the single market, rather than hanging on to British customers.\n\nThat's because their supply chains span across the EU.\n\nA German car might be designed in Germany, manufactured in Britain, with components made in various parts of eastern Europe, to be sold in France. This only works if there are no cross-border tariffs, paperwork or red tape.\n\nGerman companies - more often family-owned and with deeper connections to their regional heartlands - tend to look at the wider picture, sometimes thinking more long-term.\n\nThey supported Mrs Merkel on sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, even though that meant a blow to trade. The financial hit was deemed less bad for business than worsening unrest in nearby Ukraine.\n\nThe same calculations are being made over Brexit.\n\nTheresa May's speech on Brexit last week made front page news in Germany\n\nThis doesn't mean German business is thinking politically, and not economically. But rather, it indicates a wider attitude towards how business can thrive long-term.\n\nGerman business leaders tell you that the British market may be important. But it is only one market, compared to 27 markets in the rest of the EU.\n\nLeave campaigners also still underestimate the political and historical significance of the EU for Germany, where it is seen as the guarantor of peace after centuries of warfare.\n\nIt is tempting to see the clashes between Westminster and the EU27 as one big decades-long misunderstanding of what the EU is.\n\nAn idealistic peace-project versus a pragmatic free-trade zone. This makes it even more ironic that London may reject the free-trade area it spent so much time creating.\n\nGermany was shocked and saddened by the UK's vote to leave the EU. But the decision was quickly accepted in Berlin.\n\n\"The Brits never really wanted to be members of the European Union anyway,\" is something you often hear these days.\n\nMany Germans now want to just work out a solution that does the least amount of harm to the European economy. Hence the irritation in Germany when British politicians keep rehashing the pre-referendum debate.\n\n\"It was frustrating to hear the same old arguments from the referendum campaign,\" one business leader told me when I asked him what he had thought about Saturday's discussion.\n\nGermany has moved on, he said. Maybe Britain should too.\n\nThe Brexiteers might not have persuaded their audience in Berlin. But if they return to London with a better idea of the mood in Germany's business community, then the trip may well have been worthwhile.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nBrazilian club Chapecoense have played their first match since most of their team were killed in a plane crash. BBC Sport's Mani Djazmi was at the Arena Conda and describes Saturday's emotional scenes.\n\nThe lifting of trophies are among the metronomic ticks of any football season. You can set your holidays by them.\n\nBut there cannot have been a more enduring image than the lifting of the Copa Sudamericana trophy by the surviving players of Chapecoense on Saturday.\n\nNeto, Alan Ruschel and Jackson Follmann were presented with the trophy that was awarded to the Brazilian club after their team-mates died in a plane crash on the way to face Colombia's Nacional in the first leg of the 2016 final on 29 November.\n\nFollmann, who was the reserve goalkeeper, left his hospital bed for the afternoon to be at the stadium, where the club were playing their first match since the crash.\n\nRecovering from a partial leg amputation, he was pushed on to the pitch in a wheelchair by former Chapecoense goalkeeper Nivaldo.\n\nNeto has just started walking without crutches, while Ruschel is targeting May for his return to football. Remarkable when one considers what happened to them.\n\nThe first thing Ruschel did upon returning to Chapeco on Saturday was visit his favourite bakery.\n\n\"Yes, this was the first place I went to, we woke up really early and we hadn't eaten, so the first place we went to was the bakery,\" he said.\n\n\"We used to go there, me, [goalkeeper] Danilo and Follmann after training, so it was a good place for this new start.\"\n\nWhile the trophy was being received, the families of the dead players, journalists and club directors were given medals.\n\n\"It was a hard day, a bit sad, but also a day that we felt the support of all these people,\" said Dhayane Pallaoro, whose father Sandro was the much-loved president of Chapecoense who died in the crash.\n\n\"We could never imagine the extent of football's solidarity.\n\n\"One of the things I'll never forget was my dad's speech that we watched on the big screen,\" the 28-year-old added.\n\n\"He used to say that Chapecoense was a big family, that from the kitmen to the president, they were all equal.\n\n\"They had a dream and they transformed Chapecoense into a big club, and we hope they can never be forgotten.\"\n\nA mother of one of the journalists spoke about how it was her son's dream to report on Chapecoense.\n\n\"He lived for them,\" she said. \"And he died with them.\"\n\nHanging from the perimeter fence that surrounds the pitch at the Arena Conda stadium were thousands of paper swans and hearts. Green and white ribbons streamed from the home end.\n\nOn banners and in songs, the repeated epitaph was 'eternal champions'.\n\nOne sensed this day was an opportunity for Chapeco to let out a big breath.\n\nIt was the next landmark after a funeral, when the pain and longing still burns, but the inexorable flow of life has taken everyone just a little bit further away from the agony.\n\nBut it was also a celebration by the people of who they are, and who their players were.\n\nAfter the emotion of the build-up, the glorious triviality of a football match started, when Chapecoense's new striker, Wellington Paulista, kicked off their friendly with Palmeiras.\n\nFinally, again, the Arena Conda embraced the sights and sounds for which it was built.\n\nThe drums, the undulations of the crowd with the balance of play, the truculent child who has to be taken home early.\n\nAnd the fouls, the mis-placed passes, and the goals.\n\nDouglas Grolli is a central defender who played for Chapecoense as they rose through the divisions.\n\nHe asked his club, Cruzeiro, if he could return, to help in the rebuilding process.\n\nHis first contribution was a goal from close range to make it 1-1.\n\nChapecoense's new era was underway and now, the crowd's emphatic oneness had a new focus.\n\nChapecoense took the lead just after half-time, but Palmeiras equalised with a fine strike from outside the area by Vitinho, prompting rousing applause by the home fans.\n\nOn the 71st minute, a minute's applause was held to remember the 71 who died.\n\nThe match was stopped, and players stood where they were.\n\nThat probably gave some Chapecoense players a chance to study the faces of their new team-mates.\n\nThe match ended 2-2 and it was an understandably disjointed performance by a team that had never played together before.\n\nBut football doesn't understand, and makes no allowances. So plenty of work lies ahead for Grolli and the rest, as they begin the dream of lifting another trophy. Or, for now, perhaps just staying in the top division.", "Leicester's defeat at Southampton was a great example of how tactics, rather than players, are hugely important in deciding football matches.\n\nYou still need a talented, intelligent team with the ability to carry those tactics out for you, of course, but your system can win or lose a game for you - just the same as an amazing bit of skill will.\n\nThat is what happened as St Mary's when Leicester lined up in a diamond shape in midfield. They played it really poorly, because it looked to me as if they had not worked on it very much.\n\nSouthampton quickly worked out how to capitalise on their weaknesses and, by the time Leicester changed their shape at half-time, they were 2-0 down and as good as out of the game.\n\nThat tactical effect is not always so obvious when I watch Premier League matches.\n\nA lot of the time both teams are playing a similar way, or both are well organised and working hard - and it is a moment of quality that wins the game.\n\nOn Sunday, Saints were much better tactically and they won the match because of it.\n\n'A difficult system to master, without the ball'\n\nI never played regularly in a diamond at any of my clubs, but we used it at certain times when I was at Liverpool and it worked quite nicely for us.\n\nIn particular, we did it a few times when we played Manchester United at home because we felt their strength was in central areas, trying to play through us.\n\nUsing the diamond forced them wide and they put crosses in, which was what we wanted them to do.\n\nIt also meant we could press them higher up the pitch because the two strikers would be backed up by the man at the point of the diamond.\n\nIt tends to suit teams who have the majority of possession and play a lot of football because you have got four men in the centre of midfield and, although you are lacking in the wide areas, you should have at least one extra man in the middle. That is the theory anyway.\n\nWhat actually happened with Leicester was they did not try to play out from the back and keep hold of the ball to use that extra man.\n\nAnd, when they lost the ball, the guys who were in the diamond were crossing positions too much because they were not sure when to look for the ball in middle or when to go and try to win it out wide.\n\n'One of the hardest jobs a player can be asked to do'\n\nIt is a difficult system to master, especially when you have not got possession.\n\nI am not against it, because I have played in it when it has worked, but it does not stretch the pitch as much as other formations and you do feel like you are doing extra work.\n\nI played as the wide man in a diamond a few times in my career and it is one of the hardest jobs a player can be asked to do.\n\nIt involves a heck of a lot of running, because you are kind of playing in centre midfield, then you are playing right midfield - then right-back and on the right wing.\n\nYou have to know when to go and chase the ball and when to sit and, on Sunday, Leicester's Danny Drinkwater, for example, struggled to get that right.\n\nWe know Danny is a very good central midfielder - he was one of the best in the Premier League last season.\n\nHowever, he was on the right of the diamond against Saints and was not used to that position, which let Saints left-back Ryan Bertrand really enjoy himself in the first half.\n\nSometimes Drinkwater was reacting to Saints attacks down his wing too late because he was too narrow and he could not get out to Bertrand in time, or he went out wide too early and left a gap inside.\n\nHe was not the only Leicester player to be caught between two places where they were meant to be and Saints utilised all this space really well because they kept switching play.\n\nThat left the two Leicester full-backs isolated a lot of the time and Southampton were getting a lot of crosses into their box - they scored their first goal from one of them.\n\nLeicester need to find a settled formation again\n\nI saw a lot of the Leicester players question each other during that first half and get angry about who was marking who and where they were supposed to be.\n\nSo Ranieri was right to come out afterwards and acknowledge the way they started the game was his fault because he had tried something new.\n\nThe players will always take some of the responsibility because they are out on the pitch, but asking them to work on a system for a few days then go away to a good side like Southampton is a bit too much to ask.\n\nCompare that performance to the way Leicester were playing last season when all their players looked so comfortable playing 4-4-1-1 because they all knew their jobs. They had little partnerships all over the pitch, and it was perfect in so many ways.\n\nThings are different now. They have brought in some new players and are trying to adapt a little bit and they also have to deal with teams raising their game against them because they are the champions.\n\nThe expectancy level has gone up and, maybe because they have had a bad run, they have changed things too much instead of sticking to what they know.\n\nThat is not a criticism of Leicester, because every club wants to evolve and improve their squad with better players . When you do that, you want to keep the ball a bit more and play in different ways.\n\nBut it did not work out for them last week when they switched to play with three at the back in their defeat by Chelsea either.\n\nThe sooner they get back to a settled formation, the sooner their results will pick up. I don't think we will see that diamond again any time soon, though.\n\nWhat next for the Foxes?\n\nSometimes it is not the fact you lose a game that hurts you, it is the way you lose it.\n\nLeicester's players will watch a recording of that Southampton game at some point this week and there are not many positives for them to take from it, even in the second half.\n\nThe league table does not look too good for the Foxes either - and their away form has been terrible all season.\n\nThey need to pick themselves up quickly, but I still look at the attacking quality they have in their squad compared to the other teams down at the bottom and think they can go on a run and climb the table.\n\nWill they go down? You can never say never, but I would be shocked if they got sucked into the bottom three.", "Sir Arthur Hacker's portrait of Ivy Close was on the front page of the Daily Mirror in 1908\n\nIvy Close won Britain's first national beauty contest, was a trailblazing actress and the matriarch of one of Britain's most illustrious showbusiness dynasties. She faded into obscurity - but her great-grandson, who created Downton Abbey, has put her back in the spotlight.\n\nWhen 17-year-old Ivy Close charmed the country in the first nationwide beauty competition, the press swooned over her \"exquisite loveliness\".\n\nPart of her prize - along with a new Rover motorcar - was to have her portrait exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.\n\nThat picture, showing Close with rosy cheeks and wispy curls, also took up the entire front page of the Daily Mirror - which had run the contest - on 4 May 1908.\n\nIvy Close beat 15,000 other entrants to win the Daily Mirror's beauty contest\n\n\"She's effectively the first British beauty queen,\" says her great-grandson Gareth Neame, a Bafta-winning TV producer who came up with the concept for Downton and made The Hollow Crown and Hotel Babylon.\n\n\"And there was then a competition between the winner in Britain and the winner in the US, and she ended up winning that one. So I often say she was effectively the first ever Miss World.\"\n\nThe portrait, by Sir Arthur Hacker, has now been restored thanks to a donation from Mr Neame and is hanging in the refurbished Ferens Art Gallery in Hull, which reopened on Friday to coincide with Hull becoming UK City of Culture.\n\nIt is a return to the limelight for one of Britain's first modern celebrities, whose career took the firework trajectory that has been followed by many celebrities over the decades since.\n\nBorn in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, Close beat 15,000 other hopefuls to the beauty contest title, which was awarded by nine famous artists on the Daily Mirror's Beauty Adjudication Committee (yes, really).\n\nShe became an instant star and there was \"an overwhelming rush for copies\" of a special commemorative edition of the paper that featured Close in \"a variety of charming poses\".\n\nThe portrait now has a prominent spot in Hull's Ferens gallery\n\nJust as she charmed the Beauty Adjudication Committee, Close also caught the eye of society photographer Elwin Neame, who had photographed the finalists.\n\nTwo years later, her picture filled the Daily Mirror front page again - this time in her wedding dress.\n\nInside, the paper reported how a large crowd had gathered outside the church where she had married Elwin Neame, and how she had been accompanied by a \"best girl\", as opposed to a best man.\n\nIn her film debut two years later, directed by her husband and filmed in their house, she played a model posing as figures from famous paintings.\n\nShe went on to star in a long list of films that decade and set up her own production company, which was not uncommon for a successful actress in the silent era.\n\nGareth Neame (right) with Downton Abbey writer Julian Fellowes and actress Elizabeth McGovern\n\n\"It's a well-trodden path, to have gone from being a model to an actress, and she went to America to be in the movies before Hollywood was even invented,\" Gareth Neame explains.\n\n\"She went to America in about 1917 and went to Jacksonville in Florida, which was one of the centres of film-making back then, and she was in a company of actors along with Oliver Hardy.\"\n\nAfter that, Close's films included the 1923 French epic La Roue, of which Jean Cocteau said: \"There is cinema before and after La Roue, as there is painting before and after Picasso.\"\n\nGareth Neame says: \"I've got it on DVD so I'm able to watch my great-grandmother as a young woman as the lead in a silent movie. She was a reputable actress with some career.\"\n\nBut her life took a tragic turn the same year when Elwin Neame was killed in a motorcycle accident. \"It must have been quite a tough life, having lost her husband so young,\" Gareth Neame says.\n\n\"My grandfather [Ronald] was at boarding school, but just one year in, at the age of 14, he had to be pulled out because there wasn't the money to pay the fees any more.\"\n\nGareth Neame is the son of Christopher Neame (left) and grandson of Ronald Neame (centre)\n\nMeanwhile, with the arrival of talking movies, Close's acting roles were drying up. \"Like the film The Artist, about the end of the silent film era, I think she was one of the people that fell foul of that.\n\n\"I'm not sure her accent quite fitted in with American audiences, and when talking pictures came in, that was really the end of her career.\"\n\nShe did pantomime and minor films, but had fallen off the radar by the end of the 1920s. If there was a Celebrity Big Brother in 1931, she would surely have done it.\n\nGareth Neame was a toddler when Close died in 1968. \"I never knew the lady, but she was quite a big figure in the family by all accounts.\n\n\"Like a lot of people in showbusiness, as she got older she was probably slightly curmudgeonly and thought 'it's not the way that it used to be'.\n\n\"It must have been very interesting to have been this very beautiful young starlet and very famous, and then talking pictures come along and your career starts to fade.\"\n\nHer career may have faded, but the family dynasty she and Elwin Neame launched is still going strong.\n\nRonald Neame went into the family business, and went on to direct The Poseidon Adventure and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (with an Oscar-winning turn by future Downton Abbey star Dame Maggie Smith) and co-write Brief Encounter.\n\nRonald's son Christopher Neame was a Bafta-nominated writer and producer, meaning Gareth is the fourth generation to have success in the TV and film industries.\n\nHis father and grandfather knew about the portrait of Ivy Close, but did not know where it had ended up after being shown at the Royal Academy.\n\nAn online art database, ArtUK, meant Gareth Neame could track it down easily. He got in touch with the Ferens curator, who told him it had not been exhibited for several years because it needed restoration - and pointed him in the direction of their Adopt A Painting scheme.\n\n\"It's very nice to be able to make a charitable gift for something that brings back a piece of art into public view, and because of my family association with it,\" he says.\n\nBut restoring the painting is not the only way he has kept her memory alive. \"I put a little reference to her when we made Downton Abbey,\" he reveals.\n\n\"We had a scene where a couple of the servants went to the pictures and they were coming back from having seen a film that Ivy Close was in.

The truth is what I told you before.\"\n\nLeft-back Marcos Alonso, who scored twice against Leicester, said: \"You guys [journalists] made up the story. Diego wasn't feeling well because of his back. He's very happy and will have a great season at Chelsea.\"\n\nAnalysis: 'If you get £60m, then let him go'\n\nWhy shouldn't Diego Costa go to China? There is no loyalty from clubs in football.\n\nHe's already defected from Brazil, his native country, to play for Spain and has no real affinity with England and the Premier League. I'm sure he likes London but he doesn't have any real affinity here.\n\nBrazilians move around all the time; they will go wherever the money is.\n• None Hear more from Mills on BBC Radio 5 live\n\nWell done Conte. If you get £60m, then let him go.\n\nHe's at his peak, the team is built around him totally. He is a top, top player, but if he wants to go to China and be bored 18 hours a day, good luck to him. If he went - and I don't think he will - they don't win the league.\n\nConte is reasserting himself. Costa has football utopia at the moment - top of the league, top of the scoring charts, what is wrong in his life? He will come back quietly with an apology.\n\nI don't think it will derail Chelsea. He is a quality player who they can't do without, People tell me he goes off on one like this, but he will see sense.\n\nIt is a very difficult dressing room at Chelsea and the manager has done very well this season.", "Lord Snowdon was a talented film maker and photographer whose marriage to Princess Margaret fed the gossip columns for over a decade.\n\nHis career was punctuated by lurid tales of extra-marital affairs, alcohol and drugs, but throughout it all he maintained a close contact with the Royal Family.\n\nHis body of photographic work featured the cream of British society, although he was usually dismissive about his work.\n\nHe was most proud of the stunning aviary he helped design for London Zoo.\n\nHe was born Anthony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones on 7 March 1930, into a family of minor gentry.\n\nHis father, Ronald, was a barrister while his mother, society beauty Anne Messel, later became Countess of Rosse, following her divorce from his father.\n\nIn his teens, he contracted polio and had to lie flat on his back for a year. It left him with a permanent limp.\n\nBut visits by such luminaries as Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich, arranged by his uncle, the theatre designer Oliver Messel, helped alleviate the boredom.\n\nThe start of what was to prove a stormy marriage\n\nHe was educated at Eton, where his passion for photography began. He went on to Jesus College, Cambridge, and was cox of the victorious eight in the 1950 Boat Race.\n\nHe never completed his course on architecture, and at 21 took up photography as a career, setting up a studio of his own in London.\n\nIt was his flair for taking less formal photographs that earned him the commission, in 1956, for the 21st birthday pictures of the Duke of Kent.\n\nLater he was invited to Buckingham Palace to photograph the Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family, including Princess Margaret.\n\nUnlike some photographers, he did not set out to create a rapport with his subjects.\n\n\"I don't want people to feel at ease,\" he once said. \"You want a bit of an edge.\"\n\nHis engagement to Princess Margaret was announced in 1960.\n\nAt the time there had been no recent precedent for anyone so near to the throne marrying outside the ranks of royalty or the British peerage.\n\nThe wedding took place on 6 May 1960, and after a honeymoon tour of the Caribbean in the royal yacht Britannia, the young couple moved into Kensington Palace.\n\nEarly in 1961 Armstrong-Jones was raised to the peerage as Lord Snowdon, and he took his seat in the House of Lords a year later. A son, David, Viscount Linley, was born in 1961, and their daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, three years later.\n\nIn 1963 the Queen made him Constable of Caernarvon Castle, and as such he took a leading part in the arrangements for the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969.\n\nHe was scathing about the ceremonial surrounding the event, claiming that most of the procedures used were \"completely bogus\".\n\nPrincess Margaret and Lord Snowdon went to Jamaica together in 1962, when the princess represented the Queen at the independence celebrations, and they made an official visit to the United States in 1964.\n\nIn the early years of their marriage, he and Princess Margaret were treated almost as Hollywood stars. The press relished incidents in which the Snowdons donned leather jackets and raced motorbikes along London's North Circular Road.\n\nThey consorted with celebrities of the day, and provided a marked contrast to the more conservative Queen and Prince Philip.\n\nBut the marriage quickly experienced the sort of difficulties that were destined to plague royal relationships over the following 20 years.\n\nHe had a flair for informal photography\n\nSnowdon's womanising was part of the reason for the break-up. A natural charmer, he had a string of relationships throughout his life and seemed incapable of remaining faithful.\n\nOne close friend was quoted in a biography of the earl as saying: \"If it moves, he'll have it.\"\n\nMargaret's own predilection for late-night partying, and the desire of both of them to be the centre of attention, also fuelled the breakdown.\n\nBy then, Snowdon had embarked on a varied professional career - acting as adviser to the Council of Industrial Design, and working for various publications, including the Sunday Times.\n\nThe aviary he helped design for London Zoo opened in 1964. It was regarded as cutting-edge in its use of new materials, providing the maximum amount of space for birds to fly.\n\nHe helped to make several television documentaries. The first, Don't Count the Candles, from 1968, was about old age and won seven international awards.\n\nIn 1975 he directed two programmes in BBC television's Explorers series, and in 1981 he presented two programmes on photography, Snowdon on Camera, for which he was nominated for a Bafta Award.\n\nThe aviary at London zoo was regarded as a triumph of design\n\nIt was during a debate on the mobility of people with physical disabilities that he had made his maiden speech in the Lords in April 1974.\n\nIn March 1976, it was finally announced that he and Princess Margaret would live apart.\n\nWhen Margaret had a relationship with Roddy Llewellyn, Snowdon was able to play the part, though not very convincingly, of the cuckolded husband, and the divorce became final in 1978.\n\nSnowdon always refused to speak about the marriage but he regularly saw the children and continued to photograph the Royal Family.\n\nIn December 1978, he was married again, to Lucy Lindsay-Hogg, a researcher on a BBC television series on which he was working. They had a daughter, Frances, the following July.\n\nIn June 1980 Snowdon started an award scheme for disabled students. The money for it came from the reproduction fees he had received over 20 years from his royal photographs.\n\nThe following year the Snowdon Council was formed, of which he was president. It comprised 12 members co-ordinating a dozen different bodies concerned with helping disabled people.\n\nAlso in 1981 a compromise was reached in his long-running row with Lord Aberconway, president of the Royal Horticultural Society, who had said that disabled visitors to the Chelsea Flower Show were not encouraged.\n\nHis subjects were often the rich and famous\n\nIt was agreed that guide dogs would be admitted, and a special garden was created for those with disabilities.\n\nWhile married to Lucy Lindsay-Hogg, Snowdon had a long affair with journalist Ann Hills, who took her own life in 1996.\n\nTwo years later, at the age of 68, he fathered a son, Jasper, with 33-year-old Melanie Cable-Alexander, a journalist on Country Life.\n\nThis proved the final straw for Lucy, and the couple divorced.\n\nBy then Snowdon had lost his seat in the Lords, following Labour's clear-out of hereditary peers. Instead, he took a life peerage as Baron Armstrong-Jones to enable him to remain in the House.\n\nDespite an increasing disability as a result of his childhood polio, Lord Snowdon travelled widely, doing work for the theatre and fashion houses as well as portraits and travelogues.\n\nA friend once said of him, \"It's impossible to imagine a gentler, more cultured man.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "US Attorney-General Loretta Lynch said VW denied and then lied in a bid to cover up its actions\n\n\"Volkswagen obfuscated, they denied, and they ultimately lied.\"\n\nThese were the words of the US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, as she set out how the German carmaker would be punished for attempting to hoodwink the US authorities over the emissions produced by its diesel cars.\n\nIt has been a tough week for Volkswagen.\n\nIt has been fined $4.3bn, agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges - and six executives are facing charges. One of them, Oliver Schmidt, has spent the past few days in a Miami jail. Others may yet find themselves in the firing line.\n\nBut because of this, we now have a very clear idea not only of what Volkswagen was doing wrong, and how it went about it, but also the measures that were taken to conceal that wrongdoing.\n\nAs part of its plea bargain with the US authorities Volkswagen signed up to an agreed \"Statement of Facts\". It draws heavily on the results of an investigation by the law firm Jones Day, commissioned by VW itself.\n\nThe FBI makes further detailed allegations in its criminal complaint against Oliver Schmidt. These have not yet been tested or admitted.\n\nAccording to these documents, the seeds of the scandal were sown in 2006, when VW were designing a new diesel engine for the US market.\n\nSupervisors in the engine department realised they had a problem. They could not design an engine that would meet tough emissions standards due to enter into force in 2007, and at the same time give customers the performance that they wanted.\n\nTheir solution was to ask their engineers to design engine management software which would turn on emissions controls when the car was being tested, and turn them off when it was being driven on the road.\n\nThis 'defeat device' software was able to recognise the standard testing procedure. It was based on a program developed by VW's subsidiary Audi, which engineers had specifically stated should \"absolutely not be used\" in the US.\n\nNot everyone was happy about this, it seems. Engineers \"raised objections to the propriety of the defeat device\" in late 2006.\n\nIn response, a manager decided that production should continue, still using the device. He also \"instructed those in attendance, in sum and substance, not to get caught\".\n\nA similar row broke out the following year, and again, the decision was taken to press on regardless.\n\nSubsequently, the use of the defeat device appears to have become routine.\n\nThe Statement of Facts describes how the software was refined and improved over time.\n\nA spate of breakdowns was blamed on the cars remaining in 'test' mode while being driven on the road. Supervisors worked with engineers to solve the problem, and \"encouraged the further concealment of the software\".\n\nThe engineers were also told to destroy documents relating to the issue.\n\nThe deception came to a head when, in 2014, the California Air Resources Board approached the company to find out why tests had shown that its cars were emitting up to 40 times the permissible amount of nitrogen oxides when driven on the road.\n\nVW supervisors \"determined not to disclose to US regulators that the tested vehicle models operated with a defeat device\". Instead they \"decided to pursue a strategy of concealing the defeat device… while appearing to cooperate\".\n\nThe FBI claims in its criminal complaint against Mr Schmidt - who was a head of compliance at VW's US division from 2012 to 2015 - that the deception eventually went to the very top of the company.\n\nCiting \"co-operative witnesses\" and allegedly corroborating documentation, it claims that the company's executive management in Wolfsburg were briefed on the issue in July 2015. Rather than tell its staff to come clean about the defeat device, it says, \"VW executive management authorized its continued concealment\".\n\nThere is, however, no mention of this meeting in the statement agreed by Volkswagen.\n\nUltimately, Volkswagen's wrongdoing was confirmed to the authorities by a single employee acting \"in direct contravention of instructions from supervisors at VW\". But the deception did not end there.\n\nThe Statement of Facts explains how VW staff were warned by an in-house lawyer that the authorities were about to circulate a so-called \"hold notice\", obliging them to retain and preserve documents under their control.\n\nEngineers were told to \"check their documents\", which several of those present \"understood to mean that they should delete their documents\".\n\nThe message was repeated at a number of subsequent meetings, one of them attended by 30-40 people and ultimately thousands of documents were deleted.\n\nWhen the scandal at Volkswagen first came to light, the company's former US chief executive, Michael Horn blamed \"a couple of software engineers\". It is now clear that many more people were involved, at least some of them in positions of authority, and deliberate attempts were made to cover up wrongdoing.\n\nIt is not hard, then, to see why the US authorities have taken such a tough line with the company. But some questions remain unanswered.\n\nWe still don't know for certain, for example, whether people at board level knew what was going on.\n\nIt's also unclear why the same software that was fitted illegally to 600,000 US vehicles was also present on millions of others sold around the world, including eight million in Europe.\n\nVW continues to maintain that the systems didn't actually break European law - though it is in the process of repairing those vehicles all the same.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nAbout 12,000 litres of paint have been spilt over a motorway following an HGV crash in Bradford.\n\nThe white paint pooled across the M606 southbound after 12 containers fell off the lorry on Friday night.\n\nThe motorway is shut from Staygate to the Euroway industrial estate while a clean-up operation gets under way.\n\nWest Yorkshire Police said it was trying to establish what caused the crash.

US intelligence agencies believe the mysterious hacker persona was central to efforts to interfere with last year's American election and responsible for distributing hacked documents that embarrassed the Democratic Party. But now Guccifer 2.0 has broken a two-month silence to deny any connection to Russia. In the run up to Donald Trump's victory, BBC Trending's Mike Wendling struck up an online dialogue with Guccifer 2.0 to try to probe the hacker's motives.\n\nIt turned out that talking to one of the world's most notorious hackers was easier than you might think. Just send him a tweet.\n\nIn the summer of 2016 the hacker, going by the name Guccifer 2.0, leaked a trove of documents from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to Wikileaks, which then made the material public.\n\nThe revelations were embarrassing for the Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and resulted in the resignation of party chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.\n\nAlthough Guccifer 2.0 took his name from a Romanian hacker - the original Guccifer hacked emails belonging to American and Romanian officials, and is currently in prison - suspicion immediately fell on Russia.\n\nMetadata attached to the leaked documents was in Russian not Romanian. Analysts determined that Guccifer 2.0 had used a Russian server. A host of security experts traced the leak to Russian intelligence.\n\nLorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, a journalist with Vice's Motherboard, chatted with the hacker in Romanian in the days after the DNC hack. The problem was, Guccifer didn't seem to speak the language very well.\n\n\"He did answer some questions in Romanian,\" but the answers were very basic, Franceschi-Bicchierai told BBC Trending.\n\n\"I showed those answers to people who did speak Romanian and they all agreed he wasn't a Romanian speaker,\" Franceschi-Bicchierai says. \"We later put the conversation to linguists and not everyone agreed that he was a Russian speaker but he was definitely not a native Romanian speaker.\"\n\nListen to more on this story on BBC Trending radio on the BBC World Service.\n\nDuring our exchanges in October - and until the present day - Guccifer 2.0 continued to deny having anything to do with Russia.\n\nHe also claimed to have more incriminating documents on Hillary Clinton - documents which he urged me to publish.\n\nThe information was sent to me via encrypted email. But despite the cloak-and-dagger presentation, the material was ultimately disappointing - a mishmash of old stories, publically available documents which were rather dull, and others which were obvious forgeries.\n\nI asked him about his motivations. He said he believed that people have the right to know what's going on in the election process.\n\nTrying to get friendly journalists to write sympathetic stories is a common tactic of Russia's online intelligence operations, says Lee Foster of FireEye, one of the big computer security firms which has been looking into the Guccifer 2.0 hacks.\n\n\"This is actually something that we've coined 'direct advocacy',\" Foster says. \"These false hactivists reach out to journalists but also other individuals, security blogs, and so on to get them to publicise the activity that they've been engaged in and sometimes even to spin particular narratives around those leaks as well.\"\n\nFoster says he's highly confident that the Russian authorities are behind the Guccifer persona. For its part, Moscow denies being behind the leaks, and Julian Assange of Wikileaks says Russia wasn't the source of the leaked DNC emails.\n\nAfter that, he stopped responding to my messages.\n\nIn the run-up to the US election in November, Guccifer warned that the Democrats would attempt to rig the vote. But after Donald Trump's victory, he went silent.\n\nLast week US intelligence chiefs released a declassified version of a report which has been presented to President Obama and President-Elect Trump.\n\nOne of the report's key judgements read: \"We assess with high confidence that Russian military intelligence (General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate or GRU) used the Guccifer 2.0 persona and DCLeaks.com to release US victim data obtained in cyber operations publicly and in exclusives to media outlets and relayed material to WikiLeaks.\"\n\nIt added: \"Guccifer 2.0, who claimed to be an independent Romanian hacker, made multiple contradictory statements and false claims about his likely Russian identity throughout the election. Press reporting suggests more than one person claiming to be Guccifer 2.0 interacted with journalists.\"\n\nSo could there be several people involved in operating the Guccifer 2.0 persona? Lee Foster from FireEye believes so.\n\n\"It may be one person who actually looks after the twitter account or it may be part of a team,\" he told Trending. \"But what we certainly can say based on the scale of the activity that we're seeing - that encompasses everything from this initial breach all the way through to the creation of these fake personas to push the information through to the trolling activity trying to push narratives around these leaks - this is not a one person effort. There's quite clearly a concerted and very well resourced and frankly sophisticated operation that is making all of this stuff come together.\"\n\nLate on Thursday, Guccifer broke his two-month silence to respond to the US intelligence agencies report. \"Here I am again, my friends!\" he announced on his blog.\n\n\"I'd like to make it clear enough that these accusations are unfounded,\" the hacker wrote. \"I have totally no relation to the Russian government. I'd like to tell you once again I was acting in accordance with my personal political views and beliefs.\"\n\nSeveral observers noted that Guccifer's English had markedly improved.\n\nDonald Trump has promised a full report on hacking within 90 days of taking office.\n\nLee Foster from FireEye says we shouldn't get too hung up on the Guccifer 2.0 brand.\n\n\"What doesn't really matter here is the personas themselves. What matters is to what extent does type of activity continue and potentially expand as well. We're already on the trolling side seeing a redirection towards European elections coming up, particularly France and Germany in 2017,\" he says.\n\nAfter the report, and his blog re-emergence, I tried once more to contact Guccifer 2.0 on Twitter.\n\nNext story: 'Why I dropped the case against the man who groped me'\n\nSamya Gupta, a 21-year-old law student from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, was napping on a seat near the back of a bus when she felt something on her breasts.

The first half we were in the game and looked solid defensively, even though we did not do enough offensively. We got caught on the counter for the first goal.\n\n\"We had a big claim for a penalty.

Yes, yes, I was about to leave,\" he said earlier this month. \"But not because of Chelsea.\n\n\"There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but it wasn't to be, and I continue to be happy here.\"\n\nShortly afterwards, manager Antonio Conte said he believed the striker was now \"completely focused\" on \"fighting for this club and for his shirt\".\n\nHe added: \"When Diego decided to stay, I wasn't concerned.

There is no loyalty from clubs in football.\n\nHe's already defected from Brazil, his native country, to play for Spain and has no real affinity with England and the Premier League. I'm sure he likes London but he doesn't have any real affinity here.\n\nBrazilians move around all the time; they will go wherever the money is.\n\nThis is how the Premier League started, paying huge money for foreign stars and now China is trying wrestle the Premier League away from England.\n\nIn general, how many England players have gone abroad in the past? We like our creature comforts. Brazilians are quite happy to up and leave.\n\nDiego Costa has got no loyalty or affinity with England and the Premier League and you can't blame him - everybody would do the same thing.\n\nEverything has been smooth sailing for Chelsea up to now. Imagine the faces of Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham. This is what they have been waiting for.\n\nAnother bid from the Chinese market seems to be rocking the boat of another top club. It's a huge problem.\n\nWhen these situations arise, the players are probably thinking they'll go and do two years and then come back and play in the Premier League. Financially, they're not just supporting their immediate family, they are supporting their whole family… aunts, uncles and cousins.\n\nI'd still give Chelsea a good chance of winning the title even if they lost him. With the lead they now have, I think they can cope if they replace him.\n\nYou don't want to keep players at your club who don't want to be there.

[It's] just a matter of keeping the cash flow balance between the different projects we’re trying to do.\"\n\nNo date has been set for work on the site to recommence.\n\n\"Things like [CES] have to take priority at this point in time. We’ll be starting again [on the factory] very shortly,\" he said.\n\nThe company was spinning several financial plates, he argued.\n\n\"The challenge of building a new company is that it’s not just doing the engineering and R&D work, we’ve got manufacturing to keep aligned, we’ve also got the whole sales and marketing, branding and imaging.\n\n\"It’s a matter of keeping the whole programme aligned.\"\n\nFaraday Future’s launch was arguably the most extravagant press event at this year’s CES, taking place in a huge venue away from the famous Las Vegas strip. It was attended by the mayor of North Las Vegas, John Lee.\n\nThe $1bn plant is being subsidised by around $320m of taxpayer’s money, a deal which has attracted intense criticism, though Mr Lee has insisted the public will not be left out of pocket should Faraday Future pull out of the project.\n\nFaraday Future's contractor, AECOM, has stopped work on the factory but said it is still committed to the project\n\nLittle is known about the finances of Faraday Future, other than that its biggest backer is the founder and chief executive of China’s LeEco - a company also embroiled in legal difficulties owing to what suppliers claim are unpaid bills.\n\nAnother problem facing Faraday Future, as well as the stalled factory construction, is that several suppliers have begun taking legal action against the firm. Futuris, a company which specialises in luxury car interiors, is suing the firm for breach of contract, demanding immediate payment of more than $10m.\n\nAccording to a recent report published by Buzzfeed, Faraday Future owes more than $300m.\n\n\"We’ve gone from nothing to where we are today in just over two years,\" he said.\n\n\"Matching the speed of development and building with the inflow of cash doesn’t always match.\n\n\"Many companies have had this - Apple and Steve Jobs didn’t always have it easy in its early days. That’s one of the hurdles that we have to get over.\"\n\nThat kind of comparison - to technology pioneers - is something Faraday Future does often.\n\nAn impression of how Faraday Future wants its factory to eventually look\n\nDuring its CES presentation, it brought up a timeline of milestones including the invention of the lightbulb and the creation of the world wide web. Faraday Future placed itself at the end of this timeline.\n\n\"That to me was stepping too far,\" remarked Tim Stevens, editor at large of motoring news site Roadshow.\n\nIf the company does manage to put its first vehicle into production, Mr Stevens said he still had reason to be cautious.\n\n\"I’m expecting this car to be in the range of $150,000, maybe $200,000. Far more expensive even than a Tesla Model X.\n\n\"That’s a big ask - if they are talking a low-number, high-margin car, they’ve still got to have a production down pat, and the reliability down pat too. Those are things it's taken Tesla a long time to figure out.\"\n\nWhere Faraday Future doesn’t appear to be struggling is with the car itself. The FF91, shown off for the first time at CES, goes like a rocket - 0-60mph (97km/h) in an alleged 2.39 seconds. Faster, it said, than a Tesla Model S (though Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk, disputes the claim).\n\nA test drive also demonstrated the car’s ability to park itself completely autonomously. The company hopes drivers will one day be able to leave their car at the side of the road and ask it to drive off and park using a mobile app - like a robot valet.\n\nThe FF91 impressed car buffs - the company has promised it will be ready by 2018\n\nHowever, the technology won’t be a part of daily life any time soon. It will be valet parking \"approved by Faraday Future\", a test driver told me - a process that will mean adoption across the world will likely be painstakingly slow.\n\nBut when it comes to hurdles to leap over, autonomous parking is well down the priority list.\n\nRight now, Faraday Future is a company seemingly operating on a thread.\n\nIt is right to acknowledge that getting into the car industry as a brand new player is extremely difficult - which is why so few companies attempt it, and even fewer succeed.\n\nEven behemoths like Apple and Google owner Alphabet have turned their focus more to providing software for established car makers, rather than begin manufacturing themselves.\n\nAt CES 2016, when Faraday Future launched a concept car so outlandish it instantly became known as the Batmobile, the company insisted it would defy its critics by 2017.\n\nHas it done that? Partly - there is a car, and it’s rapid.\n\nBut building on that achievement and turning it into a mass-produced vehicle and a viable business?

Eriksen and Dele Alli bounced around in midfield; Kyle Walker and Danny Rose constantly stayed advanced from full-back.\n\nThe high positions Walker and Rose took up saw West Brom's wide men Nacer Chadli and Matt Phillips pinned back, ensuring the away side could not escape in the early exchanges.\n\nIt broke the Baggies, who should have been more than two down at the break with Kane only finding the net once from seven first-half shots. The England striker was brilliantly denied on three occasions by Foster - who made eight saves in all.\n\nEven against a side set up to frustrate them, Pochettino's men never looked like they would be short of answers as they scored four goals for the third time in four league games.\n\nThere will be concern, however, over the injury to Vertonghen. He looked distraught after rolling his ankle in the second half and would appear a major doubt to face Manchester City next week.\n\n\"The week has been a whirlwind having a little daughter - to finish it off like this is the best way possible,\" said Kane afterwards.\n\nThe 23-year-old called Tottenham's collective display \"outstanding\", and his own efforts were just that.\n\nBut Kane's life is certainly made easier by the creative work on the flanks of Walker and Rose, and the guile and endless support running from Alli and Eriksen.\n\nEriksen's impact can tend to be slightly overlooked, given the the focus on England internationals Kane and Alli, but the Dane has now created 59 chances this season - 29 more than his next most prolific team-mate.\n\nKane was clearly in the mood to make use of this impressive support, and might easily have scored more than three - he ended the day with 11 shots.\n\nBut there is no doubting that his ability to make space in the box offers those around him a perfect target, and he now has 62 Premier League goals - reaching 60 faster than any Spurs player has done before.\n\nPulis admitted his side simply \"weren't on it\" at White Hart Lane and referenced the gap in class and points between seventh place in the Premier League and the top six.\n\nThe harsh truth is Kane alone bettered the entire West Brom team for touches in the opposition area.\n\n\"We need to improve and we are trying very, very hard behind the scenes to do that,\" said Pulis afterwards.\n\nJanuary signings seem inevitable then, not that there is need for panic with such a solid top-half position.\n\nPulis stressed that striker Saido Berahino - linked with Stoke - does not need to be sold in order for him to recruit. But expect the Baggies to make signings, with left-back perhaps one area of concern as once again Chris Brunt was forced to fill in at White Hart Lane.\n\nPenalty-box Harry - The stats you need\n• None Kane has now scored 94% of his Premier League goals for Tottenham inside the box (58 of 62).\n• None The defeat for West Brom marks their joint-heaviest Premier League defeat under Tony Pulis (along with 4-0 v Manchester City in October 2016).\n• None The Baggies conceded more than twice in a Premier League away game for the first time since 16 January last year - 364 days ago (3-0 v Southampton).\n• None The past 10 Premier League goals scored by Tottenham players have been netted by Harry Kane or Dele Alli (five each).\n• None No player has scored more Premier League hat-tricks for Tottenham than Harry Kane (three, level with Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe).\n• None Only Kevin de Bruyne (nine) has provided more assists than Christian Eriksen in the Premier League this season.\n\n'The biggest gap to seventh' - What the managers said\n\nTottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: \"It was a great performance. We are showing a good maturity. The team learned a lot from last season and we [have] very good momentum. If you want to fight and challenge for big things we need to follow performances like Chelsea with this one.\"\n\nWest Brom manager Tony Pulis: \"We just weren't on it. Spurs were very good. You have to be on it against these teams. We were miles off it and it's disappointing. They have real quality.

For decades Antarctica - the only continent with no indigenous population - hosted only the simplest huts as human shelters. But, as Matthew Teller finds out, architecture in the coldest, driest, windiest reaches of our planet is getting snazzier.\n\nIt's an eye-popping, futuristic design - a dark, sleek building, low and long, that is destined to be a temporary waterfront home for up to 65 people at a time.\n\nThe price tag is a hefty $100m (£80m). And while a Chinese company is building it, it's not in China, and almost no-one will ever see it.\n\nAfter the original burned down in 2012, the Brazilian navy launched an architectural competition for a replacement design - won by a local firm - and then awarded the building tender to a Chinese defence and engineering contractor, CEIEC. It's due to be completed in 2018.\n\nThe upper block will contain cabins, dining and living space; the lower block will house laboratories and operational areas\n\nLocated on a small island just off the coast of Antarctica, it lies almost 1,000km (600 miles) south of the tip of South America. No scheduled air routes come close and it's way off any shipping lanes.\n\nAnd even if you could reach it yourself, like all Antarctic research stations Comandante Ferraz will be closed to the public. Virtually nobody other than the crews posted there will ever see it in the flesh. So why, you may ask, spend so much on architectural style? Wouldn't a dull but functional building do just as well?\n\nBrazil is not alone in paying for eye-catching design, though.\n\nIn 2013, India unveiled its Bharati station, with a similar modernist design.\n\nDesigned by bof arkitekten, Bharati overlooks the sea and is used to study polar marine life\n\nIt was made from 134 prefabricated shipping containers, for ease of transport and construction, but you would never guess it from the outside.\n\nAnd the following year, South Korea opened its Jang Bogo station - a grand, triple-winged module lifted on steel-reinforced blocks, capable of supporting a crew of 60.\n\nJang Bogo's aerodynamic triple-arm design is said to provide resistance to the elements\n\nWhat is the explanation for this architectural flamboyance?\n\n\"Antarctic stations have become the equivalent of embassies on the ice,\" says Prof Anne-Marie Brady, editor-in-chief of the Polar Journal and author of China as a Polar Great Power.\n\n\"They are showcases for a nation's interests in Antarctica - status symbols.\"\n\nThose interests could be purely scientific. But a moratorium on mineral prospecting becomes easier to review in just over 40 years' time, and every Antarctic player also wants to be ready to take advantage, should anything change.\n\nPlanting a dramatic building on the ice has become the modern equivalent of explorers of old planting a flag.\n\nIt wasn't always like this.\n\nIn March 1903, the 33 men of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition landed on the outlying South Orkney Islands and built a dry-stone shack.\n\nExpedition leader William Bruce grandly named it Omond House, after the Edinburgh meteorologist, Robert Traill Omond. It was Antarctica's first permanent building, and is maintained today by the Argentine government as part of its Orcadas base.\n\nFor years afterwards, throughout the heroic age of polar exploration headed by Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton and Mawson, nothing much fancier than wooden huts went up on the white continent.\n\nUS Secretary of State John Kerry visited Shackleton's hut in November\n\nThen came a - relative - building boom, spurred by the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957-58, a global project for co-operation in science. The 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which resulted from the IGY, suspended all territorial claims, but that led many countries to set about consolidating their presence in other ways, such as construction.\n\nThe treaty's clause giving countries conducting \"substantial research activity\" in Antarctica a vote in meetings to determine the continent's future was another incentive to maintain a physical presence.\n\nThe US's sprawling McMurdo research station dates from this period. Powered from 1962 to 1972 by a nuclear reactor, it is the biggest settlement on the continent, housing a summer population of about 1,200.\n\nThe McMurdo station has a harbour, landing strips on sea ice and shelf ice, and a helicopter pad\n\nThe McMurdo coffee house serves hot drinks to workers and is attached to a small cinema - the chapel of the snows, a non-denominational Christian church, is nearby\n\nFor years, though, what with the huge technical and logistical difficulties in building anything in Antarctica, architectural glamour stayed off the list of priorities.\n\nThe UK's Halley station was just \"a few wooden huts inside giant steel tubes\" when meteorologist Peter Gibbs arrived in 1980. It lay buried beneath 15m (50ft) of snow.\n\n\"It was like living in a submarine, clambering up and down ladders to get in and out,\" Gibbs remembers.\n\nBuilt in 1973, Halley III was abandoned in 1983 because of access and ventilation problems\n\nAntarctica as a whole has so little precipitation it is classified as a desert, but snow does fall near the coasts, and in the interior low temperatures mean fallen snow accumulates faster than it can melt. Polar winds blow this snow around the continent, so that any object standing proud of the flat surface quickly gains a downwind \"tail\" of blown snow. Snow accumulation can swamp and crush buildings with ease.\n\nThe first Halley station, built in 1956, was abandoned 12 years later, when it too had become \"like a submarine\", as Gibbs puts it.\n\nThe version he worked in, Halley III, was built in 1973 and lasted only 10 years. Until Halley VI arrived in 2013, all were defeated by snow accumulation, and by the moving ice shelf on which they stood. At Halley's location the ice slides around 1.5m (5ft) a day towards the sea, but to maintain accuracy the station's scientific measurements have to be made at the same place year by year.\n\nDesigned by Hugh Broughton Architects and Aecom, Halley VI's red module contains the communal areas\n\nHalley VI, however, is Antarctica's first relocatable research station. Its eight connected pods - like giant, colourful train carriages, which can be isolated to limit the spread of fire - sit on hydraulic legs mounted on huge, 8m-long skis. This means that the pods can be detached from each other, dragged by bulldozers to a new location, and the whole station reassembled.\n\nThat design is being put to good use, as Halley is currently being moved to avoid a chasm that is opening up in the ice nearby.\n\nAnd Halley VI is both glamorous and comfortable.\n\nUnlike earlier Halley stations, each bedroom now has a window to the outside\n\nIts bijou bedrooms feel like a classy budget hotel. Interiors are fitted in vivid reds, blues and greens to compensate for the lack of colour outside. Halley's pool table and sofas sit beneath the only double-height internal space in Antarctica, stylishly lit - outside the months of winter darkness, anyway - by tall, semi-opaque windows. Beside the drinks bar climbs a spiral staircase, clad in aromatic Lebanese cedar veneer, chosen to stimulate an often-overlooked sense in the almost completely smell-free Antarctic environment.\n\n\"All the newest bases look good as well as do the science - it's a reflection of the priorities of our era,\" says Anne-Marie Brady.\n\nSouth Africa was one of the first countries to solve the problem of snow accumulation with its SANAE IV base, which opened in 1997. It was designed with stilt-like legs, which let snow blow under the building.\n\nGermany applied the same concept to its Neumayer III base, which opened in 2009, with an extra refinement. Sixteen hydraulic pillars allow the entire two-storey structure to be raised every year by around a metre. The foot of each pillar is then lifted and replaced on a new firm base of packed snow.\n\nNeumayer III always stands 6m above the ice - up to 50 people live there during the summer and nine in the winter\n\nLike the UK's Halley base, Concordia, an Italian and French research facility is used by the European Space Agency to study the physical and psychological effects of isolation - the nearest people are stationed 600 km (370 miles) away\n\nAnother element of Antarctic architecture that has become critical is energy efficiency. Most stations run on polar diesel, which is expensive, polluting and difficult to transport. Belgium's Princess Elisabeth station, an aerodynamic pod raised on steel legs, is the first with zero emissions.\n\nSince its inauguration in 2009 it has run entirely on solar and wind energy, and - even here - has no heating.

But the social media users who have expressed admiration for Gupta's stand, may be disappointed by what has happened since.\n\nIn her post Gupta wrote that when she challenged the man, who she says was in his 40s, he apologised. There were around 30 other passengers on the bus and they reportedly vocalised their support for Gupta. But they also advised her to not pursue the matter, she said.\n\n\"My co-passengers asked me to accept it, and let it go,\" Gupta wrote, \"But I decided otherwise. I decided to not let it go. I decided to not let an audacious eve-teaser to go free merely by apologising.\"\n\nIn her post she said that she chose to speak up because she didn't want the alleged aggressor to feel confident enough in the future to escalate his behaviour to a more violent assault - \"to convert into a rapist\".\n\n\"Eve teasing\" is a common term used in some South Asian countries to refer to a wide variety of behaviour including molestation. According to Sameera Khan, the co-author of 'Why Loiter? Women & Risk on Mumbai Streets' it includes \"flashing or any verbal/physical sexual street harassment that falls short of rape.\"\n\n\"It's an archaic term,\" says Khan, \"The 'Eve' part comes from the Old Testament and describing harassment as 'teasing' makes it sound almost like a mild romantic overture that should be tolerated - which of course it should not.\"\n\nGupta told BBC Trending that she persuaded the bus driver to divert the bus to the nearest local police station. The passengers, who had surrounded the man who had allegedly been groping Gupta, then escorted them both into the building. There Gupta filed a harassment complaint against the man whose name has not emerged in the media and was not named in Gupta's post.\n\n\"The process of filing a complaint was lengthy and laborious,\" Gupta added.\n\nShe says that she was informed she would have to provide her statement in Hindi, a language she says she doesn't know to write well.\n\n\"This made me wonder what happens to illiterate women in India who muster up the courage to go to the police,\" she told Trending, \"I'm a law student and even I found the process tedious and challenging.\"\n\nGupta wrote in her Facebook post that her problems didn't end when she left the police station. She claimed that when she took another bus several acquaintances of the alleged harasser approached her and told her to drop her complaint. She added that they questioned her character, accusing her of \"goofing around with various guys every now and then, therefore my allegations have no sense of veracity\".\n\nA court date was set for a hearing for the harassment charge. But before it arrived Gupta withdrew her charge.\n\nSpeaking to Trending, she cited a couple of reasons for dropping the case.\n\nOne, she said, was due to \"complacency with paperwork\" which she claimed resulted in her mobile number becoming available to man's family. As a result, Gupta told Trending, she received calls pressuring her to drop the case because the accused man was a father of two.\n\nSimilarly, she said, her own family also advised her to drop the case.\n\n\"They felt Eve teasing wasn't serious enough an incident to merit going through with a court trial,\" Gupta told Trending.\n\nShe added: \"I am a student and I don't earn my own money. I come a family with no background with the law. Going to the police station was a big deal for them. I dropped the charge because it seemed like too much pressure on my family.\"\n\nLocal police have defended the handling of the case. Inspector Shiv Mangal Singh told BBC Trending that officers had followed protocol.\n\n\"Then the girl, Samya Gupta and her father, came to the police station and told us to drop the case. In terms of the accuser's family getting her phone number, that didn't happen at our end, it may be an administration issue with the lawyers. Similarly, they were people available to translate and write the document in Hindi for her.\"\n\nInspector Singh said that even after the case had been dropped, the man still spent several more days in custody, because the statute under which he was arrested requires suspects to remain in custody for 14 days without the prospect of bail.\n\nHe added: \"We take Eve-teasing seriously and have set up a Whatsapp number where women can send complaints about Eve-teasing.\"\n\nEve-teasing, is not specifically classified as an offence specific in Indian law. However sections of the Indian Penal code are said to cover offences comprising sexually intimidating behaviour. This includes Section 354 which is defined as \"assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty\" and Section 509 which allows for up to three years imprisonment for on \"word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman.\"\n\nA shocking, graphic video showing torture and racial abuse led far-right activists to link the perpetrators to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Now, thanks to a graphic section of the unverified intelligence dossier on Donald Trump, the rest of the world does, too.\n\nSince the allegations were made public, the US president-elect has denied claims that he cavorted in Russia with prostitutes - and Russian officials have denied claims that they filmed it.\n\nThis week, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that \"the Kremlin does not collect kompromat\".\n\nBut someone in Russia clearly does. And the sensational results periodically surface, either via the compliant state media or via the internet.\n\nLast spring was a case in point.\n\nA state-controlled TV channel, NTV, ran footage of former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov in bed with his personal assistant, Natalia Pelevina. Not only was the material cringe-worthily intimate, it also revealed the couple bad-mouthing other members of Russia's notoriously divided opposition.\n\nThe tape helped divide them even further.\n\n\"It was shot inside a private apartment by the [Russian security service] FSB, there is no doubt about it,\" Ms Pelevina told the BBC, referring to what happened as an \"obvious smear campaign\".\n\nGrainy video footage showed Mr Kasyanov with his personal assistant in a bedroom\n\nThere is no evidence that America's president-elect was ever caught in a similar way. But Ms Pelevina argues that her own experience suggests that such an idea is not implausible.\n\n\"I would not rule out that the Russian FSB has something against Donald Trump. Because they collect those materials not just against enemies; they collect against so-called friends. Just in case it will come in handy one day,\" she said.\n\nSome argue that the FSB had no reason to ensnare Mr Trump before his presidential ambitions were public.\n\n\"What would have been the point?\" Frederick Forsyth, a spy author who worked for MI6 for 20 years, asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Friday.\n\n\"I don't think there's any indication that the man who was host of the game show Apprentice and builder of hotels was ever going to be anything important in the political world,\" he said.\n\nBut a former Russian intelligence agent dismissed that logic.\n\n\"Donald Trump was never just anyone. He was always a well-known businessman, not just a tourist,\" the former operative, who asked not to be named, pointed out.\n\n\"You call it 'kompromat', but it's just information. Everyone does it. You British gathered it on [Mikhail] Gorbachev, we gathered it on [Margaret] Thatcher. So theoretically, yes, it's possible,\" he said.\n\nIf Russian agents did gather such information, he said, then it would be no surprise that it got out.\n\n\"You can't be surprised by anything anymore, after Edward Snowden and after Wikileaks,\" the ex-agent said.\n\nThat is one reason why many Russians are unfazed by the allegations. Another is that they have seen it all before.\n\nThe most notorious victim of kompromat was Yury Skuratov. The then-prosecutor general was investigating claims of corruption in the Kremlin in the late 1990s when Russian TV aired a video entitled Three in a Bed.\n\nThe grainy footage, which ended his career, showed a man resembling Mr Skuratov in bed with two women. The tape's authenticity was confirmed publicly by none other than Mr Putin, then head of the FSB.\n\nProsecutor General Skuratov was sacked in 2000 after a video appeared to show him with prostitutes\n\nThen there was Mumu. In 2010, the part-time model befriended opposition activists and journalists and lured them back to her flat. Their sexual activities and drug-taking were all captured on hidden cameras. The films were then posted on the internet.\n\nAnd the technique has been turned on foreign targets, too.\n\nThe British deputy consul-general in Yekaterinburg was forced to step down in 2009 after footage allegedly showing his own sexual encounter with two prostitutes was made public.\n\nThe UK Foreign Office declined to comment at the time, only stating that it expected \"high levels of personal and professional integrity\" from its staff.\n\nThe list goes on and the FSB is always cited as the prime suspect.\n\nThe big difference with the claims of kompromat against Mr Trump is, of course, that his alleged video tape has not been made public.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nCoverage: Live commentary every day on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra plus TV highlights on BBC Two from 21 January; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website.

It is part of my job,\" he said.\n\n\"I have told the owners that the most important thing is the team and the club, not my position.

It's usually something done behind closed doors - but how would you feel about someone watching porn in public? The BBC's Siobhann Tighe describes a troubling experience on a London bus.\n\nIt had been a long day at work. I got on the bus at 7.30 in the evening and it was cold and drizzly. All the passengers were wrapped up in thick coats, hoods and hats.\n\nInside, the bus was softly lit and I was expecting to zone out on my way back home: just let the day go and switch off.\n\nI sat on the lower deck beside a complete stranger and didn't give it a second thought. I was just relieved to get a seat. As we meandered through the London traffic, my gaze was drawn to my neighbour's phone. I wasn't being nosy but in the dim light of the bus, the brightness of his mobile caught my attention even though he was slanting it slightly away from me.\n\nAlthough I didn't mean to or want to, I found myself looking over towards his mobile a few times and then it suddenly occurred to me what was going on. The man beside me was watching porn.\n\nOnce I realised, although I genuinely didn't mean to, my eyes kept on being pulled back to it. I couldn't quite believe it. First he was watching animated porn, with the two naked characters in lurid colours repeating their movements over and over again. Then he started watching a film, which seemed to begin in a petrol station with a large woman in a low-cut yellow top and blonde hair peering into the driver's window.\n\nI didn't hear any sound, apart from a brief few seconds when my fellow passenger pulled the headphone jack out of his mobile, and then reinserted it.\n\nThe man didn't seem to notice my glances towards his phone, maybe because his hood was hampering his peripheral vision. He seemed oblivious to me and others around him, who admittedly wouldn't have been able to see what I saw.\n\nWe eventually arrived at his bus stop and because he had the window seat and I had the aisle, he made a motion that he needed to get out, and he muttered a \"thank you\" as he squeezed past me. I watched him get off and walk down the street.\n\nI felt uncomfortable and annoyed, but I didn't do anything about it. I didn't say anything to him and neither did he pick up on any of my glances or quizzical looks. His eyes didn't meet mine so I couldn't even communicate my feelings non-verbally and it didn't occur to me to tell the driver. Even if I wanted to, it would have been difficult to get to the front of the bus because it was packed.\n\nBut when I got off, questions flooded into my mind about what I had just experienced. What if a child saw that? Are there any laws about looking at porn in public spaces? If there are laws, how easy are they to enforce? Why did this passenger feel public transport was an appropriate place to watch porn, and should I be worried from a safety point of view?\n\nAs a journalist, I also looked at it from his point of view, even though he made me feel uncomfortable. I asked myself: is he within his rights to look at porn on his private device wherever he is? Do civil liberties in our society grant him that freedom?\n\nBut in my heart, I was offended.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. From disgust to it's ok, Woman's Hour took to the streets to find out what you think of it.\n\nWhen I mentioned it to friends, everyone seemed to have a story of their own, or an opinion.\n\n\"It happened to me when I was with my son having a coffee at a Swiss airport,\" one said. \"Two Italian guys were sitting next to me. I said something because I felt safe and I sensed there'd be support if an argument ensued.\" It worked, and they politely switched the laptop off.\n\nIt certainly got everyone talking, but like me, no-one was sure where the law stood.\n\nAccording to Prof Clare McGlynn from Durham University who specialises in the law around porn, there's little to stop someone viewing pornographic material in public - on public transport, in a library, in a park or a cafe, for example.\n\n\"It's like reading a book,\" she says. \"They are viewing lawful material which is freely available, and restricting people's access to it presents other challenges.\"\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, the law would only prevent it if the porn viewer is harassing someone or causing a disturbance.\n\nSo, what do you do? Prof McGlynn describes it as a dilemma.\n\n\"It's like someone shouting at you, calling to you to 'Cheer up, love!'\" says Prof McGlynn. \"Do you confront it, or do you put your head down and walk along?\"\n\nBut when I contacted Transport for London, they appeared to take the case very seriously.\n\n\"If someone has made you feel uncomfortable, for example by viewing pornographic material, please tell the police or a member of our staff,\" I was told.\n\nA member of staff said passengers should report incidents like to this to the bus driver, who would tell the control centre, and the information would then be passed to the police for them to investigate.\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, there is not much the police could do. On the other hand, James Turner QC contacted the BBC to say that there is a law - the Indecent Displays (Control) Act - which might form the basis for a prosecution.\n\nFive years ago, in the US, the executive director of a group called Morality in the Media had an experience similar to mine on an aeroplane. As a result, the group - now called the National Center On Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) - campaigned to get the major US airlines to stop passengers watching porn.\n\n\"All of them except for one agreed to improve their policies to prohibit passengers from viewing this material during flights and agreed to better train their flight attendants on what to do,\" Haley Halverson of NCOSE told me.\n\nBuses don't have flight attendants, though. Nor do trains.

But what's next for Singapore Paralympian Yip Pin Xiu? The BBC's Heather Chen profiles the young athlete, as part of a series on the Asian women likely to make the news in 2017.\n\nSwimmer Joseph Schooling may have delivered Singapore its first-ever Olympic gold medal but Yip Pin Xiu remains the country's most decorated athlete. With her 2016 and 2008 wins in Rio and Beijing, Yip now has more gold medals to her name than any other Singaporean Olympian or Paralympian.\n\nBut setting her sights on too much and not having enough time is often a problem for the busy 24-year-old, who's just returned from Europe, where she spent Christmas with her boyfriend and family.\n\nSchool has started and Yip is back home. The swimmer is currently studying for her degree in political science at the Singapore Management University, which recently set up a sports scholarship in her name.\n\nIt's evident that Yip's heart is still in the pool. She says she is \"in a hurry\" to graduate so she can resume full-time training and even though she is training up to five times a week, Yip wants to dedicate more hours to it.\n\n\"Training isn't as intensive for me now as it normally is in the lead-up to major games,\" she said.\n\nBut balancing commitments is no easy feat, let alone for a three-time Paralympic champion.\n\n\"Juggling school and training takes up a lot of my time. And the only travelling I'll be doing for the rest of the year will be for competitions, not holidays,\" she says.\n\nBut it's not impossible for her. \"Since young, I've learnt to manage my time. It's difficult but I can do it.\"\n\nThe youngest of three children, Yip was born with muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that slowly breaks down the muscles.\n\nWhen she turned 11, she lost her ability to walk and had to rely on a wheelchair. By age 12, she ventured into the world of competitive swimming.\n\nYip also suffers from a nerve condition that affects her eyesight. But she remains infectiously optimistic about her life.\n\n\"Things are so good and I'm really happy,\" she said with a smile.\n\nOn that, she recalled her biggest highlight of 2016: winning at the Rio Paralympics.\n\n\"My teammates and I were overwhelmed.

She had this to say:\n\n\"Committing myself to the next Paralympics can be scary and after three medals, I don't know what else could be better.\n\nBut there's a high possibility that I will go on for more years of training and competition. If I see a potential, I'll keep going.\"\n\n'Paralympians need the same kind of support like any other athlete'\n\nWith those milestones some time away, can Yip count on the celebratory spirit and support of 2016?\n\n\"I wouldn't say that support for Paralympic athletes is dying down.

In 2016, toy maker Lego cemented the duo's star status with their very own figurines.\n\n\"We know we have a bond and we don't have to verbally remind each other of our support,\" she said.\n\n\"I can tell Theresa anything. It's nice having someone to talk to, who wouldn't judge you for anything and just listen.\"\n\nOver the years, Yip has made various contributions to public debate in Singapore about the treatment and recognition of its disabled athletes.\n\n\"I want the world to know that being a disabled athlete is not that different from being an able-bodied one,\" she said.\n\n\"We put in the same number of hours and we need support like any other athlete.

US \"car tsar\" Steve Rattner discusses President Obama's economic legacy with the BBC's Michelle Fleury\n\nAlready heavily indebted, by the turn of the Obama administration it looked like they would simply run out of cash and cease operations within weeks.\n\nPresident Obama's decision to bail out General Motors and Chrysler with bridging loans and managed bankruptcies (Ford managed to turn itself around without government money) was deeply controversial.\n\nBut look again at the chart.\n\nIf the auto industry had in fact collapsed, we would probably need to spread something like a million more job losses across those bars for 2009-10.\n\nBeyond the number of jobs directly or indirectly lost, it's hard to calculate the ultimate economic effects of a disintegration of the US auto industry.\n\nBut it seems safe to say that America would look very different indeed without the auto bailout.\n\nThere was also Mr Obama's stimulus package - or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to give it its official name.\n\nThis was a package of government spending which Congress passed, at the new president's behest, within weeks of his taking office.\n\nThere have been 75 consecutive months of job growth in the US\n\nIt too met fierce criticism and its impact has long been disputed.\n\nStill, more than one analysis has estimated that through 2010 it created or saved more than 2 million jobs.\n\nTaking those away would also dramatically alter the non-farm payrolls chart.\n\nAt least it would for the beginning of Mr Obama's presidency.\n\nBut after the first two years of his administration the politics of job creation, like everything else, changed.\n\nThe Republican Party's capture of the House of Representatives in November 2010 deprived the president of most of his influence on the writing of new laws.\n\nHe lost his grasp of one of the main levers of economic control and never regained it.\n\nThe Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives in November 2010\n\nThat means that so much of the long period of job growth, from 2011 to the present, has unfolded with little input from the White House.\n\nOf course the president always has large powers, whoever controls Congress, but they tend to be in the administration of business regulations and in trade relations.\n\nAttributing the creation of jobs to those functions of government is even more speculative than attributing them to new laws.\n\nStill, if presidents cannot write laws, their veto power means laws can hardly ever be passed without them.\n\nIt is a feature of the notorious political \"gridlock\" that has characterised much of the Obama era.\n\nThe president and the Republican Congress have been in a perpetual stand-off over so many issues at the heart of the economy.\n\nThe result is that many economic problems have gone unaddressed.\n\nYet it also means that politicians, and their insistence on change and reform, have been kept on the sidelines, leaving the economy to develop without them.\n\nIn the absence of major external shocks, perhaps the consistent job growth the US has enjoyed for more than six years should be attributed, not to the name and the politics of the president but to things more fundamental to the US and its brand of capitalism.\n\nIt seems appropriate that after the steep steps down, then up, in the first 18 months of the non-farm payrolls bar chart, what the Obama presidency looks like is then a consistent series of bars, representing steady if undramatic job growth, month after month after month.", "A US truck driver has been forced to slide his jack-knifed vehicle down an icy mountain road after his trailer's brakes locked.\n\nCalifornia Highway Patrol officers closed the road and escorted the truck down, making it to a safe place 20 minutes later.", "Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp look ahead to Manchester United's Premier League match against Liverpool this weekend, with Klopp expecting a \"real fight\".", "If the stand-off between the Spanish state and the north-eastern region of Catalonia has been intense for the past five years, 2017 looks set to be explosive.\n\nCatalan leader Carles Puigdemont set the tone in a New Year message, saying a planned referendum would go ahead by September. That would defy the Spanish government's warning that any vote organised by Catalonia's regional authorities would be illegal.\n\n\"If 50% plus one vote 'yes', we will declare independence without hesitation,\" he said.\n\nTensions between supporters of independence and Spanish authorities are likely to rise when three senior Catalan ex-officials, including former president Artur Mas, go on trial accused of criminal disobedience for organising a wildcat poll in November 2014.\n\nSpain's conservative prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, says he is willing to negotiate possible alterations to the relationship between the national and Catalan administrations, but will not discuss changes to Spain's constitution.\n\nArtur Mas has spearheaded the Catalan campaign for independence\n\nSo Madrid says there will be no referendum. Barcelona insists there will be a vote and it will be binding.\n\n\"If we have 50% turnout and a majority in favour of independence, this will be legitimate. Then Madrid will have to ask itself if it is going to impose its laws by force, if the Catalan people choose their future peacefully and democratically,\" says Joan Maria Pique, the Catalan government's director of international communications.\n\nThe image of tanks rolling north across the Ebro river belongs to Spain's tragic civil war of the 1930s. But how would Madrid react if Catalonia made a unilateral declaration of independence?\n\nWhen Spain's defence minister until last November, Pedro Morenes, was asked what the army would do in such a scenario, he avoided giving a direct answer: \"If everyone does what they are legally bound to do, that situation will not be necessary.\"\n\nLike other regions in Spain, Catalonia already has the power to run its educational and healthcare systems, as well as limited freedoms in the area of taxation. But Spanish constitutional experts offer little encouragement to supporters of independence for Catalonia.\n\n\"If the Catalan government does not negotiate the calling of a referendum with the state, it is not legally possible, because this power is held by the central state,\" explains Javier Garcia Roca, professor of constitutional law at Madrid's Complutense University.\n\nSpain's constitutional court agrees. It outlawed the unofficial vote held in November 2014, and that ruling led to former Catalan President Mas and two of his ministers facing trial this year. If found guilty, Mr Mas could be barred from public office for a decade.\n\nSurveys suggest a referendum vote on secession would be close\n\nMany Catalan towns and villages have gone ahead and declared independence in a symbolic but defiant fashion.\n\nA picturesque Costa Brava fishing village, El Port de la Selva, declared itself \"morally excluded\" from Spain's constitutional order in July 2010. Earlier Spain's top court had ruled that large chunks of the Catalan autonomy statute, approved by both the Spanish and Catalan parliaments, were unconstitutional.\n\nThe number of rebel municipalities has gone on growing.\n\nOne estimate from a pro-sovereignty association suggests 787 of the region's 947 town and city halls have declared support for \"decoupling from the Spanish state\".\n\nSeveral local politicians and hundreds of councils are being investigated for offences deriving from symbolic disobedience of Spanish laws.\n\nThe constitutional court has also quashed several attempts by the Catalan parliament to vote into existence \"instruments of state\" for a future independent country, including a tax agency and a social security department that would form the basis of a new welfare system.\n\nIt has also annulled laws against fracking, gender inequality and banks which keep empty homes on their books. In 2010 the court sparked outrage by removing the preferential status of the Catalan language and quashing another dozen articles.\n\nCatalan spokesman Joan Maria Pique accuses the Spanish government of \"exercising juridical violence by violating the independence of the courts\".\n\n\"The constitution lays down the principle of unity of the state and nation, which are described as 'indivisible',\" argues Prof Garcia Roca. \"It is a rigid document and the possibilities for imagination and constitutional engineering are therefore not the same for Catalonia as for Scotland.\"\n\nSolar panels at a Barcelona cemetery: It is one of the most developed regions in Spain\n\nAnd yet much of Catalonia believes that it has already triggered what pro-independence circles describe as \"decoupling\" from the Spanish state, backed by a majority of the Catalan parliament and the region's local councils.\n\nA recent poll published by Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico, not seen as backing independence, suggested that 85% of Catalans wanted a referendum, which all surveys predict would be extremely tight.\n\nSo while the Madrid government insists any vote will have no validity, the game of political chicken goes on.\n\nCourt orders have been served on councillors in Catalonia who refuse to acknowledge Spanish national holidays, remove flags or bow to other constitutional requirements, or who burn images of Spain's King Felipe.\n\nMeanwhile, the tension continues to rise.

It was a pretty devastating time,\" said Sheridan Woodcroft from Melbourne, as she boarded the Elvis Express, a special train service from Sydney to Parkes. \"He just had the X-factor. He was so charismatic, he was gorgeous.\"\n\nAustralia's biggest Elvis festival was borne out of economic necessity.\n\nBack in the early 1990s, mid-summer trade in baking-hot Parkes was sluggish but Bob Steel, 75, and his wife Anne, owners of the Gracelands restaurant, had a plan.\n\n\"It was a pretty slack time. I went to a hoteliers' meeting and they were all having their grizzle about quiet times. I said, well, Elvis's birthday is in January and we could have a birthday party,\" Mr Steel told the BBC.\n\nParkes' Elvis festival now generates about A$13m (US$9.6m) each year\n\nAnd they did. In January 1993, 190 people attended the inaugural event in the Steels' restaurant.\n\nFrom simple beginnings, the festival now generates about A$13m (US$9.7m, £7.9m) each year.\n\n\"It's a tremendous economic benefit and it has really revived a town that was struggling.

Dealing with the luxury market is \"a learning curve\", says Geoff Howe\n\nSome of the very rich like to go further than just displaying their wealth. They want things that few others can have, such as vehicles like an armour-plated SUV.\n\nAnd now there's another extreme machine aimed at the moneyed motor-mad: the EV2.\n\n\"It's a luxury, high-speed vehicle,\" explains one of its makers, Mike Howe.\n\n\"You hit a button and the gull-wing doors pop up just like a Lamborghini. Inside you have eight-way leather seats, reverse camera, cameras up top, state of the art tracks, state of the art suspension...\"\n\nIn fact, according to Mike's twin brother Geoff, the EV2 is a \"luxurious tank\". That's because the machine has tracks like a tank, rather than wheels.\n\nTwin brothers Geoff (left) and Mike Howe began building and inventing things while still at school\n\nThe brothers claim that, thanks to its tracks, their vehicle can move at high speed across all kinds of rugged terrain in a similar fashion to its military counterpart - but unlike the latter, the EV2 is devoid of armaments.\n\nThey say that there is demand for the product. However, the luxury market is a new departure for them, and a far cry from their normal line of business.\n\nThe brothers trace the origin of their enterprise (based in Maine, in the US) all the way back to their childhood.\n\n\"We were always pushing the envelope,\" recalls Geoff.\n\n\"We built our own log cabin because the other kids down the street had a tree house that their father helped build. Mike and I didn't have a father figure at the time. So we had to do it on our own. We wanted to make it bigger, better.\"\n\nAs time passed, they graduated from log cabins to unusual vehicles, such as off-road racers.\n\nIn their college years, they converted a tour bus into a mobile stage for their rock and roll band.\n\nThanks to its tracks, their vehicle can move at high speed across all kinds of rugged terrain, the brothers claim\n\nLater, they became obsessed with the idea of building an extremely fast, tracked vehicle. After years of work, they ended up creating a small tank, which they called the Ripsaw.\n\nThe device caught the attention of the US Army, which eventually ordered manned and unmanned versions for research and development.\n\nAs a result of the US military's interest, the brothers were able to turn their hobby into a business.\n\nThe challenges they faced in creating the Ripsaw were formidable.\n\nThe company also invented the Ripchair, an off-road wheelchair with tracks\n\nFor example, the faster you try to make a tracked vehicle go, the more likely you are to lose a track. \"It's like a wheel coming off on a car,\" explains Mike.\n\nEngineering problems like these proved tough to solve. The brothers looked beyond the automotive world for answers, and took lessons from elsewhere, such as from the technology employed in chainsaws.\n\nAs they gained experience, they expanded their range to include products like robotic systems that could help to disable bombs, and the Ripchair, an extraordinary off-road wheelchair with tracks.\n\nHollywood also began to take an interest, and the brothers' vehicles have appeared in several big-budget pictures, like GI Joe 2 and Mad Max: Fury Road.\n\nIt was collaboration with the movie industry that led to a new direction for the business.\n\nThe brothers see luxury forming only a small part of their range\n\nOne day, the brothers received a call from someone working for a wealthy individual who had seen one of their vehicles on screen, and wanted a bespoke leisure version of the Ripsaw.\n\nThey were at first surprised by the request, but after careful consideration, they decided to give the idea a go. The result was the EV2.\n\nThey find dealing with the luxury market a whole new challenge.\n\nOne of the biggest difficulties is establishing clear lines of communication. He is rarely able to talk directly to the end client - so it is vital to ensure that the customer's wishes are being met, rather than those of any intermediaries.\n\nThe company has also made robotic systems to help disable bombs\n\nThe brothers have found that clients in this market are interested in a range of options.\n\nIn addition to those already mentioned, they include a night vision and thermal imaging system, which displays images of the road ahead and around the vehicle.\n\n\"You can shut all the lights off at night and the vehicle is completely dark and you can run 60 miles an hour down the road and see everything you need to see to be able to drive safely,\" says Mike.\n\nSome of the tanks are equipped with thermal imaging or night vision\n\nHe adds that it's up to the client to establish where and how the vehicle can be driven safely and legally.\n\nThe high cost of EV2 (a typical model costs hundreds of thousands of dollars) presents another challenge.\n\nBecause so much money is at stake, the brothers sometimes need to do some delicate checking on potential customers, to establish that they are able to afford the cost.\n\nThey say they have enjoyed adding a \"luxury\" product to their portfolio - but they do not want it to end up skewing the direction of the whole business, which is why they see it forming only a small part of their range in future.\n\nThis approach is wise, says author and consultant Peter York, who has advised many large luxury enterprises.\n\nLuxury tanks will only form a small part of the business, the twins say\n\n\"If you start spending time on billionaires' private fantasies then there are immense opportunity costs.\n\n\"A technologically innovative business and a luxury business are very different,\" he says.\n\nStill, the brothers are always open to new ideas, and for a special client, they will continue to push the envelope.\n\nAt present they are working on a variant with 2,000 horsepower - nearly four times the power of a standard EV2.\n\n\"We have no idea how it's going to work out,\" says Mike Howe. \"We're riding that edge between what's physically possible and what's a dream.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "In 1942, Franklin D Roosevelt - not known as a Socialist radical, though he had his moments - proposed that anyone earning over $25,000 should be taxed at 100%.\n\nEffectively, the President of the United States was calling for a high pay cap of, in today's money, just under $400,000 or £330,000.\n\nInterviewed this morning on the Today programme, Jeremy Corbyn rekindled the debate on high pay, saying that a \"cap\" should be considered for the highest earners.\n\nWith legislation if necessary.\n\nFranklin D Roosevelt - not known as a socialist radical\n\nGiven that a direct limit (making it \"illegal\" for example for anyone to earn over, say, £200,000) would be almost impossible to enforce in a global economy where income takes many forms - salary, investments, returns on assets - very high marginal rates of tax could be one way to control very high levels of pay.\n\nAnother could be by imposing limits on the pay ratio between higher and lower earners in a company - possibly a more politically palatable option.\n\nThe High Pay Centre, for example, supports considering this approach.\n\nTheir research reveals the ratio has increased substantially.\n\n\"The average pay of a FTSE 100 chief executive has rocketed from around £1m a year in the late 1990s - about 60 times the average UK worker - to closer to £5m today, more than 170 times,\" the organisation said in 2014.\n\nFirms have been under fire over high rates of executive pay\n\nIn its submission to the review of corporate governance by the House of Commons business select committee in October, the centre said executive pay was \"out of control\".\n\nIt is only relatively recently that high marginal rates of tax have been dropped as a way of limiting \"out of control\" pay.\n\nAlthough America's Congress couldn't quite stomach the wartime 100% super tax (the actor Ann Sheridan commented \"I regret that I have only one salary to give to my country\") by 1945 the marginal rate on incomes over $200,000 was 94%.\n\nPost-war, very high rates of income tax on high earners were the norm and income inequality was far lower.\n\nBy the 1970s in the UK, the marginal rate on higher incomes was 84%, a figure that rose to 98% with the introduction of a surcharge on investment income.\n\nDenis Healey, then the Labour chancellor, famously said he wanted to \"squeeze the rich until the pips squeak\" - a quote he subsequently denied.\n\nThe mood changed with economic stagnation, industrial strife and the arrival of mainstream monetarism and its political leaders - Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.\n\nStrikers gather round a brazier at a picket line in London in 1979\n\nThey built an economic and political philosophy based on a belief that it wasn't the state's job to spend, in Thatcher's famous phrase, \"other people's money\" - it was better to allow people to retain the money they earned and spend it as they saw fit, even if it was an awful lot.\n\nLower levels of income tax were the result and economic growth strengthened for a period.\n\nIncome inequality also grew, maybe a price worth paying for the economic riches which, it was argued, were flowing around the country.\n\nFor many, especially since the financial crisis, the pendulum has swung back, away from lower taxes towards a more punitive approach to high incomes.\n\nMr Corbyn was speaking about a belief that some individuals at the top of the income scale now have far too much money to spend compared with the \"just about managing\" classes.\n\nTheresa May has also made it clear that \"fat cat pay\" is on her radar.\n\nThe economics of high pay and whether it should be limited are based on a judgement between two competing interests.\n\nThe first is summed up by the Laffer Curve, popularised by the US economist Arthur Laffer, which argues that if income taxes are too high (or pay limits in any guise too strong) they reduce the incentive to work, which ultimately affects growth, national wealth and government income.\n\nAt its most basic, under the \"Laffer rules\" a 0% income tax rate would collect no revenue.\n\nAnd a 100% income tax rate would also collect no revenue, as no one would bother working.\n\nRonald Reagan slashed the top rates of US income tax\n\nIt has been used from Reagan onwards as the economic underpinning for an argument that lower taxes support growth.\n\nIn the 1980s, US government revenues increased as taxes were cut, although that was as much to do with general strong levels of growth as it was to do with the tax cuts themselves.\n\nThe second, contrary, economic pressure, as countless studies from the World Bank and others have shown, is that countries with high levels of income inequality have lower levels of growth.\n\nTackling that inequality, by whatever method, incentivises people to work more effectively.\n\nThe problem is that lifting lower wages by increasing, for example, productivity levels, could be a more effective way of reducing the gap between low and high pay, although it would take many years of concerted effort to be successful.\n\nSince the 1970s, the notion of a government inspired \"incomes policy\" has been - in the popularity stakes - right up there with multi-millionaire bankers at a meeting of Momentum, the organisation that supports Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership.\n\nBut, ever since the introduction of the minimum wage in the 1990s, the government has made it clear that the amount people are paid is not simply a matter for private businesses and the free market.\n\nMr Corbyn has said he wants to consider a national maximum wage.\n\nMany might nod in agreement.\n\nHow to do it, though, and whether it is economically helpful for growth, is a very different matter.", "US Army interpreter Nayyef Hrebid and Iraqi soldier Btoo Allami fell in love at the height of the Iraq War. It was the start of a dangerous 12-year struggle to live together as a couple.\n\nIn 2003, Nayyef Hrebid found himself in the midst of the Iraq war.

I saw his hair was shiny and very black and he was smiling. I just thought, 'Oh my god, this guy is really cute.'\n\n\"I felt like something beautiful had happened in this very bad place.\"\n\nHrebid was secretly gay. He hadn't come out because same-sex relationships are taboo in Iraq and gay people are at risk of violent attacks.\n\n\"In Iraq being gay is seen as very wrong and brings shame on your family. You can even get killed for it so you have to be very careful,\" he says.\n\nHrebid worked as a translator for the US army\n\nWhat Hrebid didn't realise was that the soldier, Btoo Allami, was also attracted to him.\n\n\"I had this strange feeling like I had been looking for him. My feelings grew over time and I knew I wanted to talk to him,\" Allami says.\n\nThey had a chance to get to know each other when they took part in a mission to clear insurgents from the city's general hospital.\n\n\"After patrols we would come back to the safe house and one day Btoo invited me over to eat food and talk with him and the other soldiers,\" Hrebid says.\n\n\"We talked night after night and my feelings for him grew. \"\n\nThree days after the dinner, Hrebid and Allami found an excuse to go outside to talk on their own. They sat in a dark parking lot, full of US Humvees.\n\n\"I felt very close to Nayyef and I felt it was time for me to say something,\" Allami says.\n\n\"So I told him about my feelings and that I loved him. And then he kissed me and left. It was an amazing night.

One of my translator friends from my home city ended up hitting me with a big stick, which broke my arm.\"\n\nIn 2007, Hrebid and Allami were both deployed to Diwaniyah in southern Iraq. They were lucky to be in the same city but still had to keep their relationship secret. But in 2009, Hrebid applied for asylum in America, as his long involvement with the US Army made it too dangerous to stay.\n\n\"I thought I could go and then it would be easy to apply for Btoo to come afterwards,\" Hrebid says.\n\n\"I knew if we stayed in Iraq we had no future. We were going to end up married to women and hiding our whole lives. But I had watched the TV series Queer As Folk and I realised there were gay communities on the other side of the world.\"\n\nHrebid was granted asylum and settled in Seattle. However, his attempts to get a visa for Allami to join him were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Allami's family had discovered he was gay and started putting pressure on him to marry a woman. With help from Hrebid's friend Michael Failla, a refugee activist, he escaped to Beirut.\n\n\"It wasn't an easy decision to make as I had a 25-year contract with the army,\" Allami says.\n\n\"Plus I was the only one supporting my family. But I knew I had to be with Nayyef.\"\n\nAllami (left) and Hrebid knew they couldn't live openly as a gay couple in Iraq\n\nAllami applied to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for resettlement but his tourist visa ran out before they resolved his case. As an illegal immigrant he had to steer clear of soldiers and checkpoints to avoid being sent back to Iraq.\n\n\"The waiting was hard,\" says Allami.\n\n\"I felt like I was stuck and not moving forward. But then I would speak to Nayyef and that always made me feel stronger.\"\n\nThey talked to each other on Skype every day.\n\n\"He would watch me cook breakfast and I would watch him cook dinner and we would talk as if we lived together,\" Hrebid says.\n\nAlthough homosexuality is legal in Iraq, activists say many gay men, and some women, have died in targeted killings\n\nIn 2012, a BBC World Service investigation found that law enforcement agencies had been involved in systematic persecution of homosexuals\n\nThe Islamic State group killed dozens of gay men between 2015 and 2016 - many were thrown to their deaths from high-rise buildings\n\nAllami was interviewed by the UNHCR several times, but his application was beset with problems and delays.\n\nAgain Michael Failla provided support, flying twice to Beirut to advocate on Allami's behalf.\n\n\"I call him my godfather,\" Allami says.\n\nBut while awaiting the UNHCR decision Allami got an interview at the Canadian Embassy in Lebanon. With Failla's help he was able to fly to Vancouver in September 2013.\n\nThe couple were now living just a tantalising 140 miles (225 km) apart across the border.\n\n\"I came across every weekend to see Btoo and any day I had off work,\" Hrebid says.\n\nThe couple got married in Canada in 2014 on Valentine's Day. Hrebid then applied for a US visa for Allami as his husband. In February 2015 they were invited for an interview with US immigration in Montreal.\n\n\"It was a long flight, six or seven hours, and it was freezing - like 27 below zero,\" says Hrebid.\n\n\"The officer asked us three or four questions and after about 10 minutes she told Btoo: 'You've been approved to live as an immigrant in the United States.'\n\n\"I had to ask her to repeat it again. I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself screaming. We went outside and I was just crying and shaking. I could not believe it was finally happening. We were going to live together in the place where we wanted to live.\"\n\nIn March 2015, Hrebid and Allami travelled from Vancouver to Seattle by bus. They decided to have another wedding ceremony in the US and tied the knot in Washington State.\n\n\"We did not celebrate the first one and we wanted to have a dream wedding,\" says Hrebid.\n\n\"It was the most happy day of my life.\"\n\nToday they live together in an apartment in Seattle. Hrebid, who now works as a home decor department manager is a US citizen. Allami has a green card and is due to become a citizen next year. He works as a building supervisor.\n\nTheir story has been turned in to a documentary called Out of Iraq, which premiered at the LA Film Festival last year.\n\n\"We do not have to hide. I can hold his hand when we walk down the street,\" Hrebid says.\n\nAllami agrees. \"It's so different for us now,\" he says.\n\n\"Before we were so hopeless but now we feel like a family.

It marks the latest attempt by a Conservative leader to spell out what society should, or should not, be.\n\nMargaret Thatcher's remark about society was one of her most famous\n\nIn a 1987 interview with Woman's Own magazine, Margaret Thatcher said there was \"no such thing as society\", and that line went on to become one of her most famous.\n\nIt has been much debated over the years, with critics seeing it as evidence of a heartless approach where needy individuals are left to fend for themselves.\n\nBut Thatcher's supporters complain the quote is taken out of context, and in her memoirs the former PM said it had been \"distorted beyond recognition\".\n\nMore recently, polling has found that while a strong majority of people disagreed with the \"no such thing\" line in isolation, most agreed with the longer version.\n\nHere it is: \"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it... They're casting their problem on society.\n\n\"And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families, and no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.\n\n\"It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.\"\n\nThatcher's successor, John Major, entered Downing Street in 1990 promising to create a \"classless society\", which he described as a \"a tapestry of talents in which everyone from child to adult respects achievement\".\n\nHe was still talking about it in his party conference speech the following year: \"I spoke of a classless society. I don't shrink from that phrase.\n\n\"I don't mean a society in which everyone is the same, or thinks the same, or earns the same. But a tapestry of talents in which everyone from child to adult respects achievement; where every promotion, every certificate is respected; and each person's contribution is valued. And where the greatest respect is reserved for the law.\"\n\nNext up was William Hague, who called for a \"responsible society\", and said Thatcher's famous line had been wilfully misinterpreted and used against the Conservatives.\n\n\"A strong society rests on responsible individuals and families. They need to be able to turn to straightforward, reliable help when times are bad,\" the Tories' 2001 manifesto said.\n\n\"But that should not become dependence on the state when times are good.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. David Cameron: \"I think we're onto a really big idea, a really exciting future for our country\"\n\n\"There is such a thing as society; it's just not the same thing as the state,\" declared David Cameron in his 2005 victory speech after becoming Conservative leader.\n\nFive years later, the idea of a Big Society was a key strand of the Conservatives' 2010 general election manifesto.\n\nIt involved allowing voluntary groups and charities to run public services, encouraging people to do more volunteering and giving local groups more power to take decisions affecting their area.\n\nAfter becoming PM, Cameron described building the Big Society as his \"great passion\", hoping \"people power\" would help keep pubs and museums open and mean more residents getting involved with their communities.\n\nBut there were reports Conservative candidates found it a hard concept to explain on the doorstep, and the Tories' political opponents said it was simply a way of hiding cuts to local services as the new government reduced public spending.\n\nMentions of the Big Society became less prominent over the course of the Parliament, and the theme featured little in the 2015 general election campaign.\n\nHaving quit frontline politics after the 2016 EU referendum, Mr Cameron now works with the National Citizen Service, describing the organisation as \"the Big Society in action\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Prime Minister Theresa May said she wanted to \"build a better Britain\"\n\nIn what has been seen as a break from David Cameron's championing of voluntary work, Theresa May has stressed the role of the state in creating \"a society that works for everyone\".\n\nThe so-called shared society, she says, \"doesn't just value our individual rights but focuses rather more on the responsibilities we have to one another\" and respects \"the bonds of family, community, citizenship and strong institutions that we share as a union of people and nations\".\n\nIn a speech setting out her vision, she said there was \"more to life than individualism and self-interest\".\n\n\"We form families, communities, towns, cities, counties and nations. And we embrace the responsibilities those institutions imply.\n\n\"And government has a clear role to play to support this conception of society.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester United have agreed to sell midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to Everton for £22m.\n\nFrance international Schneiderlin, 27, was signed for United by Louis van Gaal for £25m from Southampton in July 2015.\n\nHe has played 47 times for the club but has only featured eight times under Jose Mourinho this season, including three Premier League appearances.\n\nEverton, meanwhile, have agreed to loan striker Oumar Niasse, 26, to Hull, with personal terms still to be agreed.\n\nThe Senegal international signed for £13.5m from Lokomotiv Moscow in February 2016 but has played only seven times for the Toffees.\n\nFollowing United's 2-0 win against Hull on Tuesday, Mourinho said: \"Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward informed me that the situation is close.

What should have been idyllic years were overshadowed by World War One.\n\n\"I remember the German bombers flying over the farm we lived in to bomb Loughborough,\" she reminisced. \"And the next day we got Polly the pony and took the trap into Loughborough to see the damage they had done. \"\n\nShe had set her heart on a writing career early on, much to the exasperation of her mother.\n\nBritish authorities did not believe the German army had entered Poland\n\n\"She didn't believe anything journalists wrote and thought they were only fit for the tradesmen's entrance.\"\n\nAfter school she attended a domestic science college in Leicester, which instilled in her a lifelong hatred of housework.\n\nMore interesting to her by far were the battlefield tours that her father arranged to sites as diverse as Naseby, Poitiers and Agincourt.\n\nEschewing the prospect of life as a country squire's wife, Hollingworth became a secretary at the League of Nations Union before studying at London University's School of Slavonic Studies and the University of Zagreb.\n\nIn 1936 she married a fellow League of Nations worker, Vandeleur Robinson, but soon found herself in Warsaw, distributing aid to refugees who had fled from the Sudetenland, the Czech territory occupied by the Nazis in 1938.\n\nShe had written the occasional article for the New Statesman and, on a brief visit to London in August 1939, she was signed up by the editor of the Daily Telegraph, Arthur Wilson, who was impressed by her experience in Poland.\n\nIn this period of heightened tension, the border between Poland and Germany was sealed to all but diplomatic vehicles. After borrowing a car from the British consul in Katowice and proudly displaying the union jack, she drove through the exclusion zone and into Germany.\n\nShe had a deep knowledge of military strategy\n\nWhile driving back to Poland, having bought wine, torches and as much film as possible, she passed through a valley in which huge hessian screens had been erected.\n\nAs the wind blew one of the screens back, it revealed thousands of troops, together with tanks and artillery, all facing the Polish border.\n\nHer report featured on the front page of the Daily Telegraph on 29 August, 1939. Less than a week after becoming a full-time journalist, she had scooped one of the biggest stories of the 20th Century.\n\nThree days later, Hollingworth saw the German tanks rolling into Poland. But when she phoned the secretary at the British Embassy in Warsaw, he told her it could not be true as negotiations between Britain and Germany were still continuing.\n\n\"So I hung the telephone receiver out of the window,\" Hollingworth later recalled, \"So he could listen to the Germans invading.\"\n\nWorking on her own, often behind enemy lines, with nothing more than a toothbrush and a typewriter, she witnessed the collapse of Poland before moving to Bucharest, where she realised that her marriage was over.\n\n\"I thought that for me - and in a different kind of way for him - my career was more important than trying to rush back home,\" she reflected later.\n\nHer story about the spy Kim Philby was blocked by The Guardian\n\nHollingworth spent a busy war in Turkey, Greece and Cairo. When Montgomery - who could not stomach the idea of a woman reporting from the front - captured Tripoli in 1943, he ordered her to return to Cairo.\n\nShe decided to attach herself to Eisenhower's forces, then in Algiers.\n\nThough diminutive and bespectacled, Hollingworth was as tough as nails. She learned how to fly and made a number of parachute jumps.\n\nDuring the latter part of the war, she reported from Palestine, Iraq and Persia, where she interviewed the young Shah.\n\nAfter the war, Hollingworth, by now working for the Observer and the Economist, married Geoffrey Hoare, the Times's Middle East correspondent.\n\nThe couple were just 300 yards from Jerusalem's King David Hotel when it was bombed in 1946, killing 91 people.\n\nThe attack left her with a hatred of the man behind the attack, the Irgun leader Menachem Begin, who eventually became prime minister of Israel and won the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\n\"I would not shake a hand with so much blood on it,\" she explained.\n\nShe celebrated her 100th birthday in her adopted home of Hong Kong\n\nIn 1963 Hollingworth was working for the Guardian in Beirut when Kim Philby, a correspondent for the Observer, disappeared.\n\nShe was convinced that he was the fabled \"third man\" in a British spy ring that already included Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean.\n\nAfter some detective work, she discovered that Philby had left on a Soviet ship bound for Odessa and filed copy to that effect with the Guardian.\n\nBut this second huge scoop was spiked by the paper's editor, Alastair Hetherington, who feared a libel suit.\n\nThree months later, the Guardian ran the story, tucked away on an inside page. The following day the Daily Express splashed it on the front page, prompting the government to admit that Philby had, indeed, defected to the Soviet Union.\n\nHollingworth reported on the Algerian crisis and the Vietnam War. She was one of the first journalists to predict that American military muscle would not prevail and that a stalemate was inevitable.\n\nShe made a special effort to speak to Vietnamese civilians, away from the watching eyes of the US PR people, to ensure she accurately captured the views of those who were suffering the most.\n\nHoare died in 1966, and Hollingworth, who had become the Telegraph's first Beijing correspondent in 1973, retired to Hong Kong in 1981.\n\nShe spent her final years in the former colony and was a daily fixture at the Foreign Correspondents' Club, venerated by her colleagues.\n\nAlthough she lost her sight later in life, Clare Hollingworth, a true journalist's journalist, retained an acute interest in world affairs right to the end.\n\nShe was once asked where she would want to go if the phone rang with a new assignment.\n\n\"I would look through the papers,\" she said, \"And say, 'Where's the most dangerous place to go?', because it always makes a good story.\"", "It is an event that promotes Hawaiian tourism more than it provides signals for the golfing year, but last week's Tournament of Champions could prove more significant than usual thanks to the outstanding performances of its top two finishers.\n\nChampion Justin Thomas and runner-up Hideki Matsuyama both appear ready to mix it with the game's leading figures in the biggest events of 2017.\n\nIt would be no surprise if either or both landed first major titles this year.\n\nI think it's floodgates opening.

Since then, he has picked up two titles in Japan, as well as the WGC HSBC Champions crown in Shanghai and Tiger Woods' Hero World Challenge.\n\nLast Sunday, an eagle at the 14th in the final round in Kapalua piled pressure on Thomas, who then steadied himself after a double bogey at the 15th to claim his fourth professional victory.\n\n\"I think it's potentially floodgates opening,\" Spieth said of his 23-year-old compatriot's promise, after he finished three shots clear of Matsuyama.\n\n\"The guy hits it forever. He's got a really, really nifty short game. He manages the course well,\" Spieth added. \"It's awesome to see.\"\n\nThomas was unlucky to miss out on a wildcard debut in last year's US Ryder Cup team. The Kentucky youngster admits that he feared he was losing ground on contemporaries such as Spieth, who is already a Masters and US Open winner.\n\n\"I think it drove me a lot,\" Thomas said. \"I wasn't mad, but it was maybe a little frustrating sometimes seeing some friends and peers my age do well - not because I wasn't cheering for them, but because I feel like I was as good as them. It's just immature of me.\n\n\"I mean, the fact of the matter is, over the course of a long career, we're going to beat each other.

That's a reasonable measure of how busy the NHS is, but other measures suggest different days were busier.\n\nSecretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt made the claim on BBC Radio 4's Today programme as he thanked staff for their work over Christmas.\n\nNHS England publishes daily statistics during the winter for several metrics to do with NHS services, so we can look into whether it is the case.\n\nWe can assume he was talking about the NHS in England only, because health is devolved, so he is not in charge of the NHS in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.\n\nThe number of people attending accident and emergency departments is an important indicator of demand for hospital services.\n\nOn 27 December, there were 60,215 attendances at A&E departments.\n\nThat is a high level, but it's not the highest for the month, which was set at 60,692 on 5 December.\n\nBut it turns out that Mr Hunt was talking about only type-one A&E departments, which is what most people would think of as an A&E department.\n\nType-two are specialist units, such as Moorfields Eye Unit, while type-three are GP-led walk-in centres.\n\nThere were 46,315 attendances at type-one A&E departments, which is the highest of the month. Comparisons with previous years are difficult due to changes in coverage and figures not being broken down in the same way.\n\nAnother important measure is the number of emergency admissions, which was 13,715 on 27 December.\n\nThat is a high figure, but the number was higher on each of the following three days - it was 14,649 on 28 December.\n\nLooking at the proportion of beds occupied: on 27 December, 90.5% of the total number of available beds were occupied.\n\nThat's actually quite low by the standards of last month - there were higher figures on 24 days in December.\n\nNHS England says that the week ending 1 January 2017 was the busiest week for the NHS 111 24-hour non-emergency service since it began in August 2010, but we do not get that figure broken down by day so cannot say whether the Tuesday was the busiest day.\n\nWe also do not have daily figures for how busy other parts of the NHS were, such as GPs.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Sport\n\nThe United Kingdom has become the first country to officially recognise parkour as a sport.\n\nThe practice, also known as freerunning, has had its application to be recognised approved by the home country sports councils.\n\nGoverning body Parkour UK says participants can \"take part whenever and wherever they want\".\n\nMinister for Sport Tracey Crouch described it as a \"fun, creative and innovative option\".\n\n\"I want people to get out there and find the sport and physical activity that appeals to them,\" she added.\n\n\"I am pleased that it has been recognised as a sport, giving it the platform for further growth in this country.\n\n\"The sport promotes movement and using the great outdoors as a space to get active in and I encourage people to don their trainers and give it a go.\"\n\nAccording to Parkour UK, the discipline was founded in France in the 1980s by a group of nine men and named l'art du deplacement.\n\nThe governing body describes it as a physical discipline in which participants \"move freely over and through any terrain using only the abilities of the body\".\n\nParkour UK says it \"encourages self-improvement on all levels, revealing one's physical and mental limits while simultaneously offering ways to overcome them\".\n\nThe term \"freerunning\" was introduced to communicate the sport to an English-speaking audience.\n\nSebastien Foucan, president of Parkour UK, is most recognisable from his role as Mollaka in the opening scene of James Bond's Casino Royale, where he is chased through a building site by Daniel Craig.\n\nFoucan, who has also appeared music videos for Madonna and stared on Channel 4 documentary Jump London, called the decision a \"groundbreaking moment for a discipline which started off as child's play and continues as child's play - for all ages\".\n\n\"We celebrate activity and playfulness whilst constantly challenging our mental and physical limits. It is more than just jumping, it is a health driven way of life,\" he added.\n\nParkour UK chief executive Eugene Minogue said the sport is now in a vast majority of primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, with the UK also boasting 50 Parkour Parks.\n\nHe added: \"All this in just over seven years , an amazing achievement and testament to the unique and diverse parkour/freerunning community in the UK, which is world leading.\"\n\nHowever, parkour has faced some criticism for \"potentially jeopardising lives\" and encouraging \"trespassing\".\n\nThe UK's freerunning community said it was left \"scarred\" after the death of prominent freerunner Nye Newman on New Year's Day.\n\nThe 17-year-old's parkour group, Brewman, says he died in an accident on the Paris Metro, but denied he was train surfing at the time.\n\nHow does a sport become recognised?\n\nThe Council of Europe defines 'sport' as any form of physical activity, casual or organised, aimed at \"expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels\".\n\nSport England, UK Sport, Sport Northern Ireland, Sport Scotland and Sport Wales refer to this charter when they determine what they officially recognise as a sport.\n\nThe national governing body of any activity wishing to become an official sport must apply to the home country sports councils.\n\nSport England says: \"Sports council recognition of a national governing body is not a guarantee of funding and neither does it mean we have approved or accredited the quality of its programmes.\"", "Lord Coe, the head of world athletics, will be recalled by the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, after MPs heard evidence that \"undermined\" his comments to them in December 2015.\n\nCoe told the committee he was unaware of specific cases of corruption before they became public in December 2014.\n\nBut former athlete Dave Bedford said he contacted Coe about Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova in August that year.\n\nBedford added he spoke to Coe about a related matter on 21 November 2014.\n\nAllegations of state-sponsored doping by Russian athletes, and cover-ups involving officials at the sport's world governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), were revealed in a documentary by German broadcaster ARD on 3 December 2014.\n\nThat is when Coe, who was elected IAAF president in August 2015, says he became aware of specific allegations.\n\nBedford, 67, said he was \"very surprised and quite disappointed\" to find the 60-year-old had not opened emails sent in August 2014, which provided details of alleged extortion from marathon runner Shobukhova, who was given a doping ban in 2014.\n\nCoe, in his evidence to the committee, said he forwarded Bedford's emails to the IAAF's then-recently formed ethics board, without reading them or opening the attachments.\n\nDamian Collins, chair of the select committee, said he wanted Coe to come back before the committee because Bedford's evidence \"raised clear and important questions\" about Coe's knowledge of the allegations, while Conservative MP Nigel Huddleston said the answers \"undermined\" the former Olympic champion's version of events.\n\nIn response, the IAAF said former London Marathon race director Bedford \"offered nothing new\" to the inquiry, and Coe has \"no further information he can provide\".\n\nCollins then issued a further statement, saying Bedford's evidence \"casts some doubt\" on when Coe learned of specific allegations.\n\nHe added: \"There are also questions about why Lord Coe didn't do more to make himself aware of the issues that were contained in the allegations that Bedford sent him.\"\n\nHowever, Coe may not have to attend a further committee hearing. While select committees have the power to compel people to attend hearings and give evidence, MPs and members of the House of Lords - such as Lord Coe - are exempt.\n\nBedford agreed with the committee it was \"strange\" Coe had not opened his email attachments, and said he had no doubt the double Olympic champion knew about the Shobukhova case when they met in November 2014.\n\nHowever the former 10,000m world record holder also defended Coe, describing him \"as someone within the IAAF who I could trust\".\n\nWhen asked to explain why Coe did not follow up on the email, Bedford suggested he may have decided the \"best way he could help the sport was to make sure he got elected as president\", as otherwise there was \"no future\" for athletics.\n\n\"In my opinion, looking at all the other alternatives, Seb Coe is the only chance athletics has to get over this difficult period,\" added Bedford.\n• December 2011: Bedford, then chairman of the IAAF road running committee, says he was asked by colleague Sean Wallace-Jones whether Liliya Shobukhova had been paid the $500,000 for winning the 2010-2011 World Marathon Majors, warning: \"If you haven't, I wouldn't.\" The prize money had already been paid.\n• December 2012: Shobukhova competes at the 2012 London Olympics and the Chicago Marathon before being signed by Bedford to run the 2013 London Marathon. Bedford then receives a call from Shobukhova's agent, Andrey Baranov, to say she is unable to compete because she is pregnant.\n• February 2014: In a bar in Tokyo, Baranov tells Wallace-Jones he has seen evidence of extortion, with Shobukhova paying large sums of money to senior Russian athletics officials.\n• March 2014: At the IAAF Copenhagen Half Marathon, Bedford meets Baranov and Wallace-Jones, and Baranov decides to make a formal complaint.\n• April 2014: Baranov and Wallace-Jones sign a sworn deposition, which they send to the IAAF's new ethics board chairman, Michael Beloff, in the same month Shobukhova is given a two-year ban.\n• 8 August 2014: After Coe tells Bedford during a phone call he has not heard about the Shobukhova case being dealt with by the IAAF ethics board, Bedford sends him an email with attachments relating to the issue. Coe says he forwarded the email on to the ethics commission without reading the attachments.\n• 14 August 2014: Bedford texts Coe to ask if he has seen the previous email, but does not receive a reply.\n• 24 September 2014: Bedford learns that now-banned ex-IAAF anti-doping director Gabriel Dolle is to leave the governing body, prompting him to text Coe: \"I hear Dolle is leaving at the end of the week - pushed or walked? I hope this is not the start of a cover-up.\" He does not receive a reply.\n• 21 November 2014: At the British Athletics Writers' Lunch in London, Bedford tries to get Coe to meet Baranov and Shobukhova's lawyer Mike Morgan. Coe says he needs to \"seek guidance\" before doing so. Bedford claims Coe was aware of the issue at this point but the two did not discuss the August email.\n• 3 December 2014: German broadcaster ARD airs its documentary alleging state-sponsored Russian doping and cover-ups at the IAAF.\n• 4 December 2014: Coe calls Bedford to say he has seen the ARD documentary and is still seeking advice regarding Morgan.\n• 7 December 2014: Coe texts Bedford, saying the legal advice is not to talk to someone [Morgan] representing a litigant.

Other firms, like Getaround, which has a presence in 10 US cities, focus more on hourly rentals.\n\nMr Haddad, who describes himself as a car enthusiast, says Turo gives people the opportunity to try out interesting cars, from cute Minis to rugged off-roaders.\n\n\"It would be really fun to go out in a Jeep Wrangler if you're going up a mountain, but it doesn't really justify owning one,\" he says.\n\nOne practical challenge of P2P rental is getting the key to the customer if the car's owner isn't around.\n\nRichard Laughton, chief executive of easyCar Club, which launched in 2014, says: \"We provide owners with lockboxes they can attach somewhere outside their house, and send a one-use pin to the renter to take the key out, and put it back at the end.\"\n\nNext year easyCar Club will try out unlocking cars by mobile app, he says.\n\nEasyCar Club owners and renters are vetted by the company\n\nAnother challenge is overcoming the trust issue. After all, would you rent out your precious motor to a total stranger?\n\n\"I think one thing that will continually hold back the P2P model is the reluctance of people to put an asset on a shared platform,\" says Adam Stocker, a researcher at Berkeley University Transportation Sustainability Research Center in California.\n\n\"The fear that their vehicle gets trashed, misused, or breaks faster - but this is just human nature.\"\n\nOne early US car-sharing start-up, HiGear, shut down in 2012 following the theft of several members' cars.\n\nSo most P2P companies engage in detailed vetting of new members, and incorporate feedback and user ratings. Turo says it has developed machine learning tools to help with the screening process.\n\nEasyCar believes telematics boxes could help track how renters have used - or abused - the car and act as a sort of onboard policeman.\n\nEasyCar Club boss Richard Laughton does not own a car\n\nAnd what if the renter crashes or damages your car?\n\n\"Insurance has been a really big challenge,\" admits Jacob Nielsen, co-founder of Rentecarlo, a P2P car-sharing firm founded by \"three guys from Denmark\" two-and-a-half years ago.\n\nAdmiral Insurance has worked with several P2P start-ups to develop a suitable product, says Mr Nielsen. The insurer even allows renters to earn up to five years' no-claims bonus while driving someone else's car, providing they drive more than 30 days in a year, he says.\n\nSuch innovations and technological improvements have enabled easyCar to \"double bookings year-on-year\", says Mr Laughton.\n\nOther P2P car-sharing firms seem to be enjoying similar rates of growth, as younger people in particular embrace the concept of \"mobility as a service\" and eschew ownership.\n\nSo what does this mean for car manufacturers' traditional business models?\n\n\"I would say 2016 definitely was the year the major auto manufacturers woke up to the shared mobility space,\" says Mr Stocker.\n\nIn September, Ford bought Chariot, a San Francisco-based crowd-sourced shuttle service, and is even investing in a bike-sharing start-up called Motivate.\n\nManufacturers clearly understand that personal car ownership is becoming old hat.\n\nGeneral Motors tried to buy Uber rival Lyft this summer, but was rebuffed, despite both companies joining forces to develop driverless taxis.\n\nCar sharing may worry public authorities less than house sharing.\n\nProperty-sharing giant Airbnb has recently come under fire from city authorities - in Amsterdam, for instance - over concerns that it increases city centre congestion and enables guests to avoid paying hotel tax.\n\nBut car-sharing companies like Turo and others could help decrease the overall number of cars on the road to start with as fewer people see the need to own their own vehicle.\n\nBut once driverless cars come in, authorities might worry they pose threat to public transport systems, some analysts believe.\n\n\"It would be very inexpensive to run electric driverless Uber taxis that go around cities and provide transport in a fluid way,\" says Philippe Houchois, an automotive sector analyst at equity research company Jefferies.\n\n\"If you get to a point where your cost-per-mile is less than £1,\" says Mr Houchois, \"public transport would seem less attractive.\"\n\nParadoxically, we could then see a rise in car numbers on our roads, not a reduction.", "This study suggests silicon exists in the Earth's inner core with iron and nickel\n\nJapanese scientists believe they have established the identity of a \"missing element\" within the Earth's core.\n\nThey have been searching for the element for decades, believing it makes up a significant proportion of our planet's centre, after iron and nickel.\n\nNow by recreating the high temperatures and pressures found in the deep interior, experiments suggest the most likely candidate is silicon.\n\nThe discovery could help us to better understand how our world formed.\n\nLead researcher Eiji Ohtani from Tohoku University told BBC News: \"We believe that silicon is a major element - about 5% [of the Earth's inner core] by weight could be silicon dissolved into the iron-nickel alloys.\"\n\nThe innermost part of Earth is thought to be a solid ball with a radius of about 1,200km (745 miles).\n\nIt is far too deep to investigate directly, so instead scientists study how seismic waves pass through this region to tell them something of its make-up.\n\nIt is mainly composed of iron, which makes up an estimated 85% of its weight, and nickel, which accounts for about 10% of the core.\n\nTo investigate the unaccounted for 5% of the core, Eiji Ohtani and his team created alloys of iron and nickel and mixed them with silicon.\n\nThey then subjected them to the immense pressures and temperatures that exist in the inner core.\n\nThey discovered that this mixture matched what was seen in the Earth's interior with seismic data.\n\nProf Ohtani said more work was needed to confirm the presence of silicon and that it did not rule out the presence of other elements.\n\nCommenting on the research, Prof Simon Redfern from the University of Cambridge, UK, said: \"These difficult experiments are really exciting because they can provide a window into what Earth's interior was like soon after it first formed, 4.5 billion years ago, when the core first started to separate from the rocky parts of Earth.\n\n\"But other workers have recently suggested that oxygen might also be important in the core.\"\n\nHe said that knowing what is there could help scientists to better understand the conditions that prevailed during the formation of the Earth.\n\nIn particular whether the early interior was one where oxygen was greatly limited - known as reducing conditions. Or whether oxygen was in abundance, which is described as oxidising.\n\nIf a larger amount of silicon had been incorporated in Earth's core more than four billion years ago, as suggested by Prof Ohtani's results, that would have left the rest of the planet relatively oxygen rich.\n\nBut if, instead, oxygen was sucked into the core that would leave the rocky mantle surrounding the core depleted of the element.\n\nProf Redfern said: \"In a way, these two options are real alternatives that depend a lot on the conditions prevailing when Earth's core first began to form.\n\n\"The most recent results add to our understanding, but I suspect that they are by no means the last word on the story.\"\n\nProf Ohtani presented his research to the recent Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.", "The Sun newspaper on Monday carries the headline \"Kill by mouth: Two die in NHS each day of thirst or starvation\".\n\nA shocking claim, based on figures from the Office of National Statistics.\n\nThe data for England and Wales shows that in 2015, hunger and/or dehydration were a factor in 828 patient deaths in hospitals and care homes.\n\nBut that doesn't mean all of these patients starved to death or died of thirst, experts at the ONS were quick to point out when I spoke with them about it.\n\nMalnutrition may be recorded on the death certificate as a factor contributing directly to a death when it was a complication of a different underlying cause, such as cancer of the stomach, for example.\n\nIf you are very sick, it might not be feasible or desirable to eat and drink. Having a disease such as advanced cancer can cause malnutrition.\n\nThat's not to say that patients who are terminally ill should have fluid and nutrients withheld. On the contrary, guidelines make it clear that even if a patient can't eat or drink they should still be provided for.\n\nThey were drawn up after reports revealed some patients at the end of life were being denied this basic right when they were put on a care protocol called the Liverpool Care Pathway.\n\nThe LCP was scrapped in 2015 after relatives complained that their loved ones had been put on it without their knowledge and denied fluids, which hastened their deaths.\n\nAnother dark period in history for the NHS was the Stafford Hospital Scandal, where hundreds of patients died amid appalling levels of care between 2005 and 2009.\n\nAn inquiry identified terrible and unnecessary suffering, including examples where patients had been provided with food and drink, but it had been left out of their reach.\n\nJoan Morris suffered a heart attack and died four weeks after being admitted to Stafford General Hospital\n\nJoan Morris, 83, was admitted to Stafford Hospital in December 2006 with a chest infection.\n\nHer family said that food and water had been left on a table instead of being given to her.\n\nAnother patient, Tom Wilhelms, resorted to drinking from a vase.\n\nIn response to the Francis Inquiry into the failings at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the government published new hospital standards including around nutritional and hydration care.\n\nAnd it asked the Care Quality Commission to make sure that the hospitals and care homes it inspected were following these standards.\n\nThe CQC's first dedicated review was in 2012.\n\nIt inspected 500 care homes and 50 hospitals in England and found 83% of care homes and 88% of hospitals it inspected met people's nutritional needs, which means patients were provided a suitable choice of food and drink and given help to eat and drink when they needed it.\n\nIt says this shows things have improved.\n\nProf Sir Mike Richards, CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said: \"We expect the food provided to be nutritious, to meet people's dietary requirements, and for this to be included as part of patients care planning while in hospital, and we look closely at this on our inspections. Where we find this is not happening or identify concerns that people's nutritional needs are not being met we take action and have a range of enforcement powers at our disposal where required.\"\n\nAge UK agrees that there's been progress, but says malnutrition in the NHS is still a big issue.\n\nLesley Carter, who works of the charity and is programme manager of the Malnutrition Task Force, says a third of people going into hospitals and care homes are already malnourished or at risk of malnutrition when they are admitted.\n\n\"That means they are already vulnerable to start with.\"\n\nShe said that on busy wards, mealtimes might get rushed or overlooked without the right staffing.\n\n\"Older people in particular might need help to eat and drink, and they aren't always getting this. Food can still be left out of reach.\n\n\"Some hospitals have employed nutrition nurses to spot those patients that need help, and nutrition assistants to help with the feeding, which is good.\n\n\"But it is time consuming to feed someone properly.\"\n\nShe says friends and families have a responsibility to keep a check on elderly loved ones too.\n\n\"We all need to realise that it's not natural to lose weight as we age.\"\n\nAlthough elderly people should be encouraged to eat a healthy diet, she says this can backfire.\n\nA salad might be worse than cake in terms of nutrition for someone who is old and frail and has a poor appetite, for example.\n\n\"Some residents in care homes are being given low fat yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk when instead they should get full fat milk.\"", "More than 200 people attended the funeral of a World War Two veteran who died with no surviving family.\n\nReginald Watson, who served in the King's Royal Rifle Corps, died on 23 November aged 90.\n\nThe Reverend Mandy Bishop, of Ormesby St Margaret, Norfolk, made a social media plea for mourners after learning he faced a pauper's service.\n\nShe said she was \"overwhelmed\" by the response to details of the funeral, which she had posted on Facebook.\n\nThe service at St Margaret's Church heard Mr Watson was a \"quiet, unassuming\" man and \"perfect gentleman\" who had treasured his certificate of service book.\n\nMr Watson enlisted in Norwich in January 1945, aged 18.

But there is a much bigger story going on here.\n\nThe man behind a deal to potentially take these titles off Richard Desmond is none other than David Montgomery, the former editor of the News of the World and Today who went on to become a major investor in media.\n\nOver recent months, Montgomery has been trying to raise the necessary finances, speaking to several banks, as well as equity partners.\n\nMontgomery is being advised by Lloyds, Bank of Canada, and the familiar figure of Jonnie Goodwin of Lepe Partners.\n\nBefore Christmas, he had raised £125m. This comprises £60m of debt finance, £10m from Montgomery, £30m from other equity backers - and £25m from Trinity Mirror.\n\nMark Kleinman of Sky News has reported that the investors Montgomery is speaking to include Towebrook Capital Partners. I have not been able to verify this yet myself.\n\nRichard Desmond, who bought the Express titles in 2000, spoke to me about his intentions.\n\nIn May last year, Express Newspapers, which is part of Northern & Shell, announced it had tripled pre-tax profits in 2015 to £30.5m.\n\nDesmond told me that with OK! Magazine doing well, and his printworks in Luton owning assets now worth \"around £100m\", Express Newspapers was making around £50m.\n\nI asked Desmond if he was intent on selling to Montgomery and had received an offer.\n\n\"There's a lot of talk, nothing has happened. I haven't had an offer.\" Asked specifically if he wished to sell Express Newspapers, Desmond said: \"Why would I? You tell me, why would I?\"\n\nBut he swiftly added that he was \"interested in everything\".\n\nAsked if he would demand a five-times multiple of profits for Express Newspapers, he said: \"Why wouldn't I?\"\n\nDesmond hasn't seen Montgomery since his Christmas party. \"My people have been speaking loads to his management.\"\n\nHis preference, as things stand, is to consolidate back-office staff rather than sell Express Newspapers - though he would, of course, entertain the latter option if he was offered a suitable price.\n\n\"If we can bring in a minority partner to share back-office staff, that could save tens of millions,\" he added.\n\nHe specifically referred to \"IT, ad sales\" in reference to these back-office operations.\n\nUsing what were clearly ballpark figures on a deal that hasn't yet transpired, about an entity not yet clearly defined, Desmond told me the savings for Trinity Mirror of a combined company could be around £30m, and for Desmond they could be around £60m.\n\n\"If Trinity then owned 20% of the new company, which should make £80m, that's £16m.\"\n\nI should urge caution about these figures, because Desmond himself did: when I asked what exactly would make £80m, he was open that this was a generalisation about a possible future company.\n\nDesmond is a brilliant deal-maker who sold Channel 5 to Viacom for £463m in 2014, having bought it in 2010 for just £103.5m.\n\nBy the way, Viacom has had an excellent two years with Channel 5, with ratings up, in the years since that sale.\n\nHe didn't give me the impression he is keen to get out of media in a hurry.\n\nI asked David Montgomery if the above figures were accurate and indeed whether he was being advised by those I mention above.\n\nAt the time of writing he hadn't responded to my queries.\n\nI asked a Trinity Mirror PLC spokesman whether the £25m figure was accurate.\n\nI have spoken to multiple sources across the industry about the likelihood of a deal going through between Montgomery and Desmond.

Father and daughter Ian and Claudia discuss their financial prospects\n\nClaudia Wells, who is 24, graduated from university in 2015 and since then has had a series of temporary and short-term contracts, the most recent of which has taken her to France. \"In today's market,\" she says, \"finding a job can be hard.\"\n\nClaudia also faces other financial burdens compared with her baby boomer father Ian. As soon as she starts earning more than £21,000 she will have to start paying off more than £40,000 of student debt.\n\nIan compares his daughter's circumstances with his own: \"At 23 I was in a secure, big company job with a good pension scheme, I had bought my first modest house and I was paying off a mortgage, not student debt.\"\n\n\"I live in a shared house and the idea of me or any of my friends owning a house by ourselves is pretty unforeseeable,\" Claudia says.\n\nHousing supply has failed to meet demand - another problem facing millennials\n\nIn fact, by the age of 30, Claudia's generation are 50% less likely to own their own homes than their baby boomer parents. Almost two-thirds of Ian's generation were homeowners by the same age.\n\nPart of the problem is that supply has failed to keep up with demand for housing as the population has grown.\n\nAnd Angus Hanton, co-founder of the Intergenerational Foundation, which exists to promote fairness between the generations, believes that older people are hogging the housing that is available.\n\n\"Partly,\" he says, \"because they are living longer and partly because there aren't suitable places to downsize to, but they are taking more than their share.\"\n\nThis matters for Claudia's generation because property remains the single biggest asset owned by people in the UK and is a valuable source of wealth and, potentially, rental income in later life.\n\nAngus Hanton, a baby boomer himself, says his generation is taking \"more than their share\"\n\nIan and his wife own their home outright and receive rental income from properties overseas that will supplement his already generous defined benefits pension and large savings pot, should he choose to retire.\n\nFor \"generation rent\" - as millennials are also known - their retirement prospects look a lot bleaker. Not only are they more likely to forego income and wealth from owning property, they also face much higher pension costs.\n\nAnd, despite the start of auto-enrolment into company pension schemes, the shift towards defined contribution pensions and the rise in self-employment (excluded from auto-enrolment) could dramatically reduce millennials' retirement income.\n\nThe state is often seen as the arbiter of fairness between generations. But, there is evidence that government policy itself may have widened the intergenerational divide.\n\nProf Sir John Hills of the London School of Economics found that baby boomers were, on average, net beneficiaries of the welfare state - they will get more in benefits than they have paid in tax. They have enjoyed tax cuts and a boom in welfare spending. Subsequent generations, by contrast, are likely to be net contributors over their lifetimes and get back less than they have paid in, thanks to austerity cuts to state benefits.\n\n\"The older generation have more voting power... they lobby more, the MPs and the policy makers are more likely to be baby boomers so [young people's] interests tend to be treated as less important,\" says Angus Hanton.\n\nSo government decisions to protect the state pensions with a \"triple lock\" guaranteeing an annual rise of at least 2.5%, at a time when other working-age benefits are being cut, has added to the controversy over intergenerational fairness.\n\n\"In the UK we have a huge number of pensioners who are wealthy, probably two million over-60s who live in households with more than a million pounds' worth of assets,\" adds Angus. \"It seems odd that they should be getting this handout of the state pension.\"\n\nBaroness Greengross, who is from the \"silent\" inter-war generation, doesn't believe parents are at war with their children\n\nNot everyone, however, puts the blame quite so squarely on the shoulders of the baby boomers.\n\n\"I would dispute the fact that the generations are at war,\" says Baroness Greengross, president of the Pensions Policy Institute. \"The older generation has no desire to fight the younger generation... these are their children and grandchildren.\"\n\nThere is evidence that, in some countries at least, state level transfers of wealth from the young are, to some extent, offset by private transfers from old to young within families.\n\nAnd, Ian admits that, like most parents, he is setting aside money to help Claudia get on to the housing ladder.\n\nTalking Business: Generations at War will be broadcast on BBC World News at 15:30 GMT on Friday, 13 January and on the BBC News Channel at 20:30 GMT on Saturday, 14 January.", "Yahoo says its chief executive Marissa Mayer will not be on the board of a company that emerges from the $4.83bn (£4bn) takeover deal by Verizon.\n\nYahoo is in the process of selling its email, websites, mobile apps and advertising tools to Verizon.\n\nWhat is left after that sale will be owned by a holding company to be named Altaba.\n\nIts main assets will be a 15% stake in Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba and a 35.5% stake in Yahoo Japan.\n\nFive other current members of the Yahoo board also won't be on the board of the new firm.\n\nMs Mayer is expected to remain with Yahoo's core business.\n\nVerizon's deal for Yahoo's core internet assets came under renewed scrutiny last month after the Yahoo disclosed one of the largest known data breaches in history.\n\nVerizon is examining the impact of the data breach and there is speculation that the deal may not go through.", "CCTV has revealed the moment a man opened fire at Fort Lauderdale airport on Friday.\n\nSuspect Esteban Santiago, 26, is appearing in court charged with killing five people and injuring six others.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nJose Mourinho moved a step closer to a major trophy in his first season as Manchester United manager as goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini secured a first-leg victory over Hull City in the semi-final of the EFL Cup.\n\nA near full-strength United struggled to break down resilient Hull in a first half in which the hosts had just two shots on target - Mata forcing a good save out of goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic, who also tipped over Paul Pogba's long-range effort.\n\nThe visitors had chances of their own against a side who had won their eight previous games in all competitions, Robert Snodgrass causing problems from set-pieces.\n\nHowever, Mata got the breakthrough just before the hour mark when he tapped in from Henrikh Mkhitaryan's knockdown.\n\nSubstitute Fellaini scored a second late on, heading in from Matteo Darmian's cross to put United in command heading into the second leg on 26 January.\n\nThe League Cup represents a genuine opportunity for Mourinho to claim a major trophy to add to the Community Shield collected last summer.\n\nHe has named strong sides throughout the competition and it was no different against Hull as several first-team regulars, including Wayne Rooney, Pogba and David de Gea, started.\n\nWith Hull bottom of the Premier League and struggling badly with injuries - they could only name six substitutes - a first Tigers victory in 65 years at Old Trafford seemed unlikely.\n\nThey were given odds of 20-1 to win before kick-off and their prospects looked even more bleak when midfielder Markus Henriksen went off injured inside 20 minutes.\n\nBut since new Portuguese boss Marco Silva - described by some as the new Mourinho - took charge last week the Tigers have looked much improved. They beat Swansea in the FA Cup at the weekend and more than held their own for long periods of the game against the Red Devils despite having to field a makeshift defence.\n\nFellaini's late goal means a turnaround in the second leg might be too big a challenge, but their overall performance will give their fans hope in the battle to stay in the Premier League.\n\nRooney moved level with Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of Manchester United's all-time scoring chart with his 249th goal for the club against Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday, meaning he had the chance to claim the outright record against Hull.\n\nHe came close to scoring goal number 250 inside the opening 10 minutes when Marcus Rashford scuffed a shot across goal, but Rooney was just beaten to the ball by Andrew Robertson.\n\nThe England forward should have got the landmark goal just after half-time when he was picked out by an excellent Pogba ball over the defence, but sent his shot wide of the far post.\n\nHis game came to an end just before the hour mark when he was replaced by Anthony Martial, but his departure without a goal means he now has the chance to grab the historic strike in what is arguably a more significant fixture for himself and United fans - the visit of Liverpool this weekend.\n\nWhat they said:\n\nManchester United boss Jose Mourinho: \"Maybe I didn't prepare the team right.

It's also unfair. Just a little, anyway.\n\nToday, it became abundantly clear that Labour's leader has not changed his mind on the value, as he sees it, of free movement of people between European states. It's become equally clear - behind the scenes - that a great many colleagues wish he would.\n\nAnd not just his many ideological and political opponents. Some of Mr Corbyn's close and loyal supporters think so too.\n\nAs evidence accumulates of Labour's slide in the opinion polls (and yes, I know we don't swallow polling numbers without chewing anymore, but consistent double-digit Tory leads can't be discounted), so concern has grown about a liberal approach to EU migration widely judged to be costing Labour dearly on countless doorsteps.\n\nJohn Trickett, Labour's national campaign co-ordinator and a strong Corbyn ally, is said to be concerned. How could he not be?\n\nThose hoping, praying, for a shift are said to include some within Mr Corbyn's inner circle. It's also suggested that his staunchest, arguably most powerful ally, Unite trade union leader Len McCluskey, might welcome a line closer to the instincts of many voters.\n\n\"Voters\", in this context, encompasses disillusioned Labour supporters, those who backed Brexit, and perhaps members of Unite who may not share their general secretary's enthusiasm for Mr Corbyn or, for that matter, Labour under any leader at all.\n\nThe overnight briefing promised a declaration that Mr Corbyn was not \"wedded\" to free movement of people in the EU \"on principle\". Some headlines promised a significant shift, even a \"U-turn\".\n\nYet this morning, as the party leader ran through a series of broadcast media interviews, and later when he delivered the much-trailed speech setting out his thinking on Brexit, it seemed somewhere along the line, Mr Corbyn may have missed a meeting.\n\n\"He messed it up,\" a senior shadow cabinet member told me, only he used a much stronger word than \"messed\".\n\nThe pressure will continue. \"Jeremy moved on NATO, eventually, and we ended up with a no-score draw on nuclear weapons,\" added the shadow minister. \"Jeremy can be budged. Sometimes. But it takes a hell of an effort and a lot of time.\"\n\nHe was right, of course. Mr Corbyn now accepts, however unenthusiastically, that NATO is a defence alliance Britain must back and not merely a hangover from the cold war.\n\nHe has put aside his dream of Labour returning to a policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament. He is still adamant that he would never order a nuclear strike, a flat contradiction to the principal of nuclear deterrence which Labour has yet to confront.\n\nHe has moved, nonetheless. His position, if not his thinking, has changed.\n\nNow he talks of free movement as a possible component of an EU divorce settlement still to be negotiated. That's a long way from the thinking of shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, who expressed sympathy, when I interviewed him on my Sunday morning 5 live programme, Pienaar's Politics, for the idea of limiting access to the UK jobs market to EU migrants who have a job guaranteed.\n\nBut it opened at least the possibility of further movement in future. Only a possibility, mind. The Labour leader is stubborn. Or a man of deep conviction. Take your choice.\n\nThe enthusiasts who elected and continue to sustain Mr Corbyn continue to be zealous and loyal. Supporters of free movement of people as a useful, as well as necessary element of the EU single market may welcome Mr Corbyn's reluctance to forsake them.\n\nBut a lot of Labour MPs have moved from bitter resentment to weary fatalism, hoping that, somehow, the mood among party members changes sufficiently to produce a change. Preferably a change of leader.\n\nThese include the senior Labour MP who told me privately today that his constituency - a northern stronghold with a majority of around 15,000 - now felt like a marginal seat, vulnerable to the overtures of UKIP.\n\nSome allies of Mr Corbyn had grown resentful that the mainstream media appeared to have lost interest in reporting the doings of Labour, or analysing the party's policy development.\n\nNo-one can make the same complaint today.

Despite the impression given by Labour HQ overnight that Jeremy Corbyn was on the point of ditching his long held backing of the freedom of movement of European citizens - that allows an unlimited number of them to come and live and work in the UK - when push came to shove in interviews this morning, he couldn't quite bring himself to say it.\n\nYes, in a speech he'll say that he wants \"fair\" and \"managed\" levels of immigration, and a clampdown on abusive practices at work by many employers. But he has not changed his mind on the most basic question when it comes to immigration.\n\nDoes he think that the current levels, with 190,000 EU citizens coming to the UK last year are too high? \"No.\"\n\nFor many of his supporters, that might be a relief. He has continually defended the rights of people to come to the UK and refused to put a limit on numbers.\n\nSo, if the Labour leader had a genuine change of heart, that could have caused him problems with his ardent base among the party membership, not least because his whole reputation is built on his long held adherence to a set of firm principles.\n\nBut for the increasing number of Labour MPs who have come to believe that the public demands a very different approach, it is a problem.\n\nWhether it is the party's Deputy Leader Tom Watson, or the former leader Ed Miliband, even before the referendum when so much public concern about immigration was aired, there was a building view that the freedom of movement rules had to be changed.\n\nThat is driven partly because of the looming electoral threat to them from UKIP. More straightforwardly and importantly, it is what many MPs simply say voters tell them they want - and they might not vote for them next time unless they do something about it.\n\nTheir leader though, won't budge on the big question, his position on numbers.\n\nHe is instead putting forward again a policy that Labour has had since the last General Election, where the rules on employers would be tightened, to stop employers undercutting wages by exploiting foreign workers, and banning recruitment agencies from hiring only from overseas.\n\nHe told me this would \"probably\" reduce the numbers, and his team believe it could have a significant effect, but they can't put a figure on the kind of difference they believe it would make to the level of immigration.\n\nRight now, that does not seem the kind of policy that is likely to convince millions of undecided voters when the clamour for limits to the country's record levels of immigration have only grown.\n\nJust for good measure, Mr Corbyn repeated his idea of putting a limit on earnings that he first proposed last year, immediately lambasted by his political enemies.\n\nAs 2017 begins, Mr Corbyn's internal party critics will sigh, that still as the world changes around him, Mr Corbyn stays in his comfort zone, in the hope that eventually, more members of the public will join him there.", "Athlete and law student Pani Mamuneas has never had a girlfriend and says he suspects the only women who approach him want to tick \"dwarf\" off their bucket list.

Everyone seemed to have matured and the general bullying stopped. It became a time for me to discover who I was, and what I wanted to do with my future.\n\nSadly, this new way of thinking didn't mean my love life improved and I had other challenges to overcome including going to nightclubs with friends.\n\nI wouldn't have the confidence to go up to girls, chat to them or ask them to dance.

The representation of white women has remained fairly steady at an average of 32%, as has the representation of men and women of colour, whose seven-year averages are 8% and 4%, respectively.\"\n\nShe also found that while men were drawn as nude or nearly nude 3% of the time, that figure rose to 30% for female figures.\n\n\"The only dead bodies depicted during the timeframe of my analysis are those that belong to men of colour,\" she added.\n\nThe site allows artists to highlight different aspects of their identity. Artists can be tagged according to their sexuality, religion, and location.\n\nTrans women are also encouraged to join, and are not differentiated from other women.\n\nArtist Kaylani Juanita lists herself on the site under the categories African American/black, LBTQ+, west coast (US), multiracial, and native Hawaiian/Pacific islander.\n\nDid she worry that she might get pigeonholed? \"I'm far more worried about invisibility or erasure of identity rather than being pigeonholed for making my identity visible,\" she said.\n\n\"I joined because it's an inclusive list that's well needed within publishing and illustration,\" she added.\n\n\"For women artists, it provides solidarity, visibility, and community. I would have loved a list like this when I was in college and high school.\"\n\nBryan Gee, an art director at Canadian national newspaper The Globe and Mail, says he has already commissioned three artists he found on the site. One was themed on female sexuality.\n\nHe also finds the categorisation of artists based on location useful, as part of his job involves showcasing Canadian talent.\n\n\"The biggest challenge to Women Who Draw as they to continue to add to their roster will be how to balance inclusivity with the quality of the work that I currently find there,\" he said.\n\nHowever, some of the features he is less convinced about. \"It seems a bit odd, for example, to see 'atheist' pop up so frequently as a primary defining quality of some of the illustrators.\"\n\n\"I don't think it is about tokenism,\" adds Lizzy Stewart, an artist from London, who has joined the site. \"I think work will still be commissioned based on talent, after all no-one wants to pay for bad work. It'd just be great if that work could come from a wider range of sources.\"\n\nWomen Who Draw has decided not to include tags to denote writers who are white or straight. \"That was a big decision that we debated a lot,\" said Ms MacNaughton. \"We decided we didn't want to support art directors in search of more white women.\"\n\nBut Ms MacNaughton adds that it is an evolving project and they are open to feedback.\n\n\"Ultimately it is the work that matters,\" she said. \"The site creates a signpost. It is up to the art director to choose the work and the people.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nFifa president Gianni Infantino has defended the expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams, insisting the change was based on \"sporting merit\" and not to make money.\n\nThe sport's world governing body voted unanimously in favour of the change at a meeting in Zurich on Tuesday.\n\nCampaign group New Fifa Now described the expansion as \"a money grab and power grab\".\n\nBut Infantino told the BBC: \"It is the opposite, it's a football decision.\"\n\nHe added: \"Every format has advantages in financial terms. We were in a comfortable situation to take a decision based on sporting merit.\"\n\nAn initial stage of 16 groups of three teams will precede a knockout stage for the remaining 32 with the change coming in for the 2026 tournament.\n\nAccording to Fifa research, revenue is predicted to increase to £5.29bn for a 48-team tournament, giving a potential profit rise of £521m.\n\n\"This is a historic decision which marks the entrance of the World Cup into the 21st Century,\" added Infantino.\n\nThe Football Association has urged Fifa to consider the needs of fans, players, teams and leagues and asked for more information on how the tournament would work, with Infantino admitting much of the detail has yet to be worked out.\n\nThe European Club Association (ECA), which represents the interests of clubs at European level, reiterated it was against expansion. It said Fifa had made a political rather than a sporting decision.\n\nNew Fifa Now says the governing body needs to reform, and that the change would \"dilute the competitiveness of the tournament\".\n\nInfantino, however, maintains the expansion will increase the quality of the teams in the competition.\n\n\"Costa Rica eliminated England and Italy in the last World Cup, a good solid team and there are many other teams who could make it to the World Cup,\" he said.\n\n\"I believe that the actual quality could rise, because many more countries will have the chance to qualify so they will invest in their elite football as well as grassroots.\"\n\nResponding to criticism from European clubs, Infantino added: \"The game has changed. Football has now become a truly global game. Everyone is happy about investment in Europe, but what about helping outside Europe? They need to be open.\n\n\"The key message from clubs I appreciate fully has always been don't touch the calendar, the dates of the World Cup or the burden for the players, and both these commissions fulfil them.\n\n\"We will play 32 days like now, we play maximum seven matches like now, 12 stadiums, like now, but give the chance for more countries to dream.\"\n\nHow it would work?\n\nThe number of tournament matches will rise to 80, from 64, but the eventual winners will still play only seven games.\n\nThe tournament will be completed within 32 days - a measure to appease powerful European clubs, who objected to reform because of a crowded international schedule.\n\nThe changes mark the first World Cup expansion since 1998.\n\nInfantino said the decision on who will get the extra qualification slots has yet to be made but \"this will be looked at speedily\", adding: \"The only sure thing is that everyone will have a bit more representation than they have.\"\n\nThe president said he believed the World Cup could emulate what he felt was a successful Euro 2016 tournament, where the number of teams taking part was similarly increased.\n\nQualifying for last year's tournament featured a record 53 nations, while the number of teams at the finals increased from 16 to 24.\n\n\"It was the most interesting in the history of the European Championship,\" said Infantino.\n\n\"All the other teams started to believe in their chance to qualify and play matches with a different mindset that they could qualify.\n\n\"We saw Wales, Iceland, Northern Ireland qualify, some for the first time, some for first time in many years. The Netherlands always qualify, but they didn't. Qualifying created a whole new dynamic and hopefully we will do the same.\"", "The Bafta nominations have been revealed.\n\nLa La Land has received the most nods, with 11 nominations, including best film.", "When President Trump (as he will then be) enters the White House, he will have an item flashing as urgent in his email inbox: North Korea. In the election campaign, he offered to sit down with the country's leader Kim Jong-un over a burger, but that generosity seems less likely now.\n\nEight years ago, when President Obama moved in, the tone was similarly helpful. Right at the start of his tenure, the new president made a gesture of conciliation to the North Korean leader, not quite an offer of friendship but an indication that nose-to-nose threats need not be the way.\n\nIn his inaugural address in 2009, President Obama said he would offer an outstretched hand to those who would \"unclench their fists\".\n\nA few months later, Kim Jong-un responded with the launch of a substantial, multi-stage rocket and an underground explosion of a nuclear device. Both tests were seen by the United Nations as a defiant contravention of the policy of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.\n\nSome presidents talk tough but trip over realities. George W Bush said in 2006 that North Korea launching a long-range missile would be \"unacceptable\" - just before one was launched.\n\nA year earlier, he had said that \"a nuclear armed Korea will not be tolerated.\"\n\nYet, on all expert estimates, North Korea has made substantial progress in achieving that aim, of having a nuclear arsenal capable of devastating cities in the United States at very short notice. The ability is not there yet but many technology experts think it is getting there.\n\nSo the Obama (and Hillary Clinton) policy of strategic patience is giving way to louder talk of military impatience. The doctrine of squeezing North Korea with sanctions and waiting for change is being supplemented by military plans.\n\nSouth Korea said it was bringing forward plans to form army units trained to \"decapitate\" the regime - in plain English, to kill Kim Jong-un. The outgoing secretary of defence in Washington said that any test of a long-range missile which threatened the United States or its allies (South Korea and Japan) would result in it being shot down.\n\nThe Pentagon planners are working overtime. But what are the military options?\n\nNot many, is the answer of most experts. Dr Jeffrey Lewis, of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in California, said that shooting down a test missile fired by North Korea would be very difficult to do and the attempt might lead to massive retaliation by conventional artillery against Seoul, the outskirts of which are within sight of North Korea.\n\nHe told the BBC that North Korea's nuclear and missile sites were scattered and that, in any case, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) could be launched from mobile trucks.\n\nAnother expert echoed that view. Rodger Baker, an analyst of the region with Stratfor, a global consultancy on geo-politics, said that the trouble with any limited military action against North Korea was that it could easily trigger all-out conflict.\n\nSouth Korea's capital, Seoul, is within range of North Korean artillery\n\n\"They could fire additional short range missiles into South Korea and US military facilities,\" he explained.\n\nThere is similar scepticism about the idea of assassinating Kim Jong-un in the absence of open war. Dr Heather Williams, who lectures at the Defence Studies Department at King's College London, said: \"If South Korea pursues this option, they are really playing with fire and might be testing whether or not North Korea really will retaliate - but it would be retaliation against South Korea.\"\n\nShe is annoyed at Mr Trump's tweeting - after Kim Jong-un's assertion that North Korea might get ICBM, the president-elect tweeted: \"It won't happen.\"\n\nDr Williams added that \"so much of nuclear strategy is about signalling and what type of message you are sending. Deterrence is rooted in signalling, so changing from a very carefully-crafted, nuanced nuclear messaging to nuclear messaging in 140 characters is incredibly dangerous.\"\n\nMuch more likely military options than overt aggression, according to the experts, are attempts to slow the nuclear programme by, say, assassinating scientists or inserting viruses into the industry's computer systems (as was apparently done in the case of Iran).\n\nIt is worth noting, too, that Iran and North Korea are very different. Iran did not have nuclear devices, whereas North Korea has already detonated five of them and has a well-developed and large testing site (3D images courtesy of the Nuclear Threat Initiative).\n\nSouth Korea says it will form army units to \"decapitate\" - assassinate - North Korea's leadership\n\nIran had elections and so the leadership had to take more account of the economic discontent of the people. It had a much more open society, internally and towards the outside world. All this makes the North Korean nut so much harder to crack.\n\nSome experts - and not just from dovish institutions - say that there may come a time soon when the reality of a nuclear North Korea has to be accepted.\n\nEric Gomez, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute in the United States, told the BBC: \"The US long-term goal is de-nuclearisation and that is a noble long-term goal and I think it should remain a long-term goal.\n\n\"But, given the status of their nuclear programme now, I just don't think it's a very realistic goal in the immediate term.\n\n\"If we can come to the table over some sort of limitation to the current arsenal in terms of delivery systems, that might be the first step towards a larger agreement down the road.\"\n\nBut there are difficulties with that:\n\nIt is not a word he likes.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "More than one million people have watched a snooker trick shot set up across a bar in Bristol.\n\nAllstar Sports Bar shot the video as their late Christmas trick shot and it's since gone viral online.\n\nThe 500ft (152m) putt took about 11 hours to set up and was filmed by general manager Shane O'Hara and bar assistant Tom Woolman.\n\n[Note: This video has no sound]\n\nBBC Sport's live coverage of the 2017 Masters starts on Sunday.", "As a young child in the capital of North Korea, Sungju Lee lived a pampered life. But by the time he was a teenager, he was starving and fighting for survival in a street gang. It was one of many twists of fate on a journey that has led him to postgraduate studies at a British university.\n\nIn the early 1990s, Sungju Lee was living comfortably with his parents in a three-bedroom apartment in Pyongyang. He attended school and Taekwondo classes, visited parks and rode on Ferris wheels. He assumed that, like his father, he would grow up to become an officer in the North Korean army.\n\nBut in 1994, this life came to an abrupt end with the death of North Korea's founding father, Kim Il-Sung.\n\nAlthough Sungju did not know it at the time, his own father, who had been working as a bodyguard, had fallen out of favour with the new regime. The family was forced to flee the capital. To hide from their child the danger they were in, his parents told him they were taking a holiday.\n\nSungju wanted to believe his father, but when he boarded a dirty, damaged train he had doubts.\n\n\"I saw beggars - kids my age - and I was shocked,\" he says.\n\n\"I asked my father, 'Are we in North Korea?' Because when I was in Pyongyang, I was taught that North Korea was one of the richest countries in the world.\"\n\nTheir destination was the north-western town of Gyeong-seong, where they moved into a tiny, unheated house. At school Sungju found the other students malnourished and behind in their classes.\n\nOne morning his teachers marched the children to an outside arena where they were told to sit and watch. Three police officers with guns appeared and a man and woman were led out and tied to wooden poles. The crowd was told the man had been caught stealing and the woman had tried to escape into China. They had both been convicted of high treason, and this was a public execution.\n\n\"Each of the police officers shot three bullets for each person. Bang, bang, bang,\" Sungju says.\n\n\"Blood came out. There was a hole in their forehead, and at the back of their head there was nothing left.\"\n\nAs the months passed, Sungju struggled to adapt to his new harsh circumstances. Food was becoming more scarce as North Korea descended into a crippling famine and many of his classmates had dropped out of school to forage for squirrels or to steal from the local market.\n\nThen suddenly Sungju's father announced he was leaving. He told his son he was going to China to look for food, and would come back in a week with rice cakes.\n\nThe week passed, but Sungju's father did not return.\n\nSoon afterwards, his mother told him she was going to travel to his aunt's house to find food. Fearing she would also not return, Sungju refused to leave her side. But eventually he fell asleep and she slipped away, leaving a note telling him to eat salt with water if he was hungry. He never saw her again.\n\n\"I started hating my parents,\" he says.\n\n\"They were so irresponsible. They just left me and I completely lost everything.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Sungju Lee fought other children and stole food to survive the streets of North Korea\n\nAt that point Sungju realised the only way he would survive was to form a street gang. He banded together with six other boys and they studied how to pick pockets and distract merchants so they could grab produce from their market stalls.\n\n\"We trusted each other. We could die for each other and we were all bound to each other and that's how we survived,\" he says.\n\nEvery few months, when the merchants began to recognise them, the gang had to move to another town. Finding new territory also meant fighting the gang that was already working there.\n\n\"I was picked as a leader by my brothers because I knew how to do Taekwando,\" says Sungju.\n\n\"They thought I was really good at fighting, but it was different from street fighting. I lost many times, but my brothers believed in me. Their trust made me stronger,\" he says.\n\nAlthough, as time went on, Sungju began to win his fights the boys in his gang were still only young teenagers. When they came up against older teens armed with weapons, the fights became more dangerous.\n\nIn one such encounter, one of his gang members was hit on the head and died. Then Sungju's closest friend was killed by a farm guard for trying to steal a potato.\n\nSungju was devastated. After more than three years fighting on the streets, the gang began to drift apart and Sungju turned to opium for solace. With few options left open to them, the boys decided to return to Gyeong-seong.\n\nIt was there that Sungju was approached by an elderly man, whom he recognised as his grandfather. After Sungju's family had left Pyongyang, his grandparents had never given up searching for them and had eventually moved to a farm a few hours' walk from Gyeong-seong. Every Sunday the old man would travel into the town in the hope of finding his grandson.\n\nNow rescued from the streets, Sungju spent a few happy months living on his grandparents' farm. Once a week he walked to the market, carrying with him a backpack of food to share with his gang members, who had now found jobs helping the merchants.\n\nThen a stranger arrived with an important message.\n\n\"The messenger passed me a letter that said: 'Son, I'm living in China. Come to China to visit me,'\" Sungju says.\n\nThe stranger was a broker - a person who helped North Koreans escape from the country. He had arrived to smuggle Sungju over the border.\n\n\"I had two emotions in my heart,\" says Sungju.\n\n\"The first one was anger, I just wanted to punch my father. And the second emotion was that I missed him so much. I told my grandparents that I wanted to go to China to see my father and to punch him and then to come back,\" he says.\n\nWith the broker's help, Sungju crossed into China by foot and then, after he was given fake documents, he boarded a plane to South Korea. It was here that he was finally reunited with his father.\n\n\"My father hugged me and we cried together,\" he says.\n\n\"I had tons of questions, but I just said, 'I've missed you dad.' He said, 'Where is your mother?' and I cried again because I didn't know.\"\n\nDespite years of searching, Sungju and his father still do not know where his mother is. In 2009, a broker told them about a woman living in China who was similar to her in appearance and background. It turned out not to be Sungju's mother, but his father helped her leave China anyway.\n\nSungju has also lost touch with the other boys in his gang, despite paying brokers to find them. He suspects they have been drafted into the North Korean army.\n\nFor a while, Sungju struggled with his identity in South Korea. When he first arrived he felt isolated. His accent marked him out as someone from the North, and many South Koreans believe North Koreans are brainwashed, he says.\n\n\"South Koreans keep saying that North Koreans are their brothers and sisters, but many times they treated me as a foreigner. Sometimes worse than that,\" he says.\n\nHe also struggled with the concept of freedom, saying he was told constantly that he now had it, but he wasn't sure what it meant. It was only when he was standing in a shop deciding what brand of pen to buy that he understood.\n\n\"I tried every pen, it took two hours,\" he said. \"I suddenly thought that this must be freedom, because I can choose a pen that I like.\"\n\nSungju says he came to terms with his new life by defining himself as someone from the Korean peninsula. Since then, he has decided to devote his life to the reunification of both Koreas, which he believes could happen within a generation.\n\n\"Those born after the 1990s don't have any respect for the government,\" he says. \"They only care about their private lives.\"\n\nHe believes that the markets where he once stole food are where change will begin, as North Koreans will realise they can make money from buying and selling goods without government control.\n\n\"In time, these people will become the core power of North Korea. The country will not collapse but one day the government will evolve, based on the market,\" he says.\n\nSungju's studies have taken him out of South Korea to the US and the UK. He now hopes to complete a PhD on Korean reunification.\n\nInitially he was reluctant to speak out about his own painful journey from privilege to poverty, and finally escape.\n\nBut over time he came to realise that by telling his story he could overcome his own personal trauma and give others insight into the struggles that many North Korean children face.\n\nHe has now turned his story into a book for young adults, Every Falling Star, which was released in September.\n\n\"I have had so much encouragement and thanks from my readers,\" he says.\n\nHis dearest dream is to one day return to the North Korea of his childhood. To see the Ferris wheels and parks of Pyongyang, but also to find the friends who helped him through the darkest time of his life.\n\n\"I dream of my brothers,\" he says.\n\n\"Sometimes we're swimming in a river and catching fish, laughing and wrestling together.\n\n\"Going home means seeing the people I love.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Cycling\n\nSir Dave Brailsford says Team Sky can be trusted \"100%\", despite \"regrettable\" questions over Sir Bradley Wiggins' medical records.\n\nWiggins and Team Sky boss Brailsford have come under scrutiny since information on the rider's authorised use of banned drugs to treat a medical condition were released by hackers.\n\nThere are also questions over a medical package he received in 2011.\n\n\"Can people believe in Team Sky? 100%,\" Brailsford told the BBC.\n\nUK Anti-Doping (Ukad) has been investigating allegations of doping in cycling after it emerged a mystery medical package was delivered to a Team Sky doctor for Wiggins on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, which the Briton won.\n\nBrailsford, the former performance director of British Cycling, last month told a parliamentary select committee he understood the package contained a legal decongestant, Fluimucil.\n\nUkad chairman David Kenworthy last week told BBC Sport he found the evidence of Brailsford and British Cycling president Bob Howden \"extraordinary\", saying the answers to the select committee on the content of the medical package were \"very disappointing\".\n\nBut when this was put to Brailsford, he answered: \"The only extraordinary thing I could see was that he [Kenworthy] actually commented on the whole process himself.\n\n\"There is an open investigation that is still ongoing.\"\n\nWiggins, 36, announced his retirement from cycling last month.

That is double its capacity.\n\nOvercrowding makes it hard for prison authorities to keep rival factions separate. It also raises tensions inside the cells, with inmates competing for limited resources such as mattresses and food.\n\nIn the relatively wealthy state of Sao Paulo, a single guard oversees 300 to 400 prisoners in some prisons, Camila Dias, a sociologist at the Federal University of ABC in Sao Paulo and expert on Brazil's prison system, told Reuters.\n\nThat means it is relatively easy for prisoners - and gangs - to take control of the facilities. As a result, \"when the prisoners want to have an uprising, they have an uprising,\" Ms Dias said.\n\nKillings are already common within the walls of Brazil's prisons - 372 inmates lost their lives in this way in 2016, according to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper - but this recent surge has been linked to the breakdown in a two-decade truce of sorts between the country's two most powerful gangs.\n\nA lack of guards means prisoners can take control, experts say. Pictured: A riot in 2014\n\nUp until recently, the Sao Paulo-based First Capital Command (PCC) drug gang and Rio de Janeiro's Red Command had a working relationship, supposedly to ensure the flow of marijuana, cocaine and guns over Brazil's porous borders and into its cities.\n\nBut recently they have fallen out -

I'm so, so proud.\"\n\nRonaldo and Messi have a history of not voting for each other for major awards and they continued that habit, both filling their top three with club-mates.\n\nMessi, the Argentina captain, went for Luis Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta.\n\nDespite being on the shortlist for best individual player, Griezmann did not make the best XI.\n\nThe line-up features five players from Real Madrid, four from Barcelona, one from Juventus (Dani Alves, who was at Barca for the first half of 2016) and one, Manuel Neuer, from Bayern Munich.\n\nThat means no Premier League players were included.\n\nDespite the United States failing to finish on an Olympic podium for the first time, co-captain Carli Lloyd has continued her exceptional form both for her club, Houston Dash, and country.\n\nThe 34-year-old saw off competition from Germany's Olympic gold medallist Melanie Behringer and five-time winner Marta of Brazil.\n\n\"I honestly was not expecting this,\" said Lloyd. \"I know Melanie did fantastic in the 2016 Olympics.\"\n\nLeicester City manager Claudio Ranieri, who has also led his side to the last 16 of the Champions League this season, won the award ahead of Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane, who lifted the Champions League in his first season in charge, and Portugal's Fernando Santos, who led his team to an unexpected success at Euro 2016.\n\nGermany's Silvia Neid retired in 2016 after capping an 11-year spell in charge of the national team by guiding them to Olympic gold for the first time.\n\nSuccess in Rio added to her extensive trophy collection, which includes the World Cup and two European Championships.\n\nThe best goal of 2016 was, officially, scored by Penang's Mohd Faiz Subri.\n\nIt came in the Malaysia Super League, the forward converting a superb, swirling free-kick from 35 yards which started out heading towards the top left corner but ended up in the top right.\n\nThe fan award went to supporters of Liverpool and German club Borussia Dortmund, who together sang a moving rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' - an anthem adopted by both teams - before their Europa League quarter-final in April. The match came the day before the 27th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 Liverpool fans died.\n\nLiverpool went on to produce a stirring display, coming from behind to win the match 4-3 and advance to the semi-finals 5-4 on aggregate.\n\nColombian side Atletico Nacional were given the fair play award for their part in the aftermath of the plane crash which killed 19 players and staff of Brazilian side Chapecoense.\n\nChapecoense were en route to play the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana final when the plane crashed, killing 71 people.\n\nAtletico Nacional said the title should be awarded to Chapecoense. Fifa recognised their \"spirit of peace, understanding and fair play\".", "Tourists use inflatable rings to cross a road on the Thai island of Koh Samui\n\nMr Supit bows low, palms together, fingers pointing to the wrathful heavens above.\n\nThe north-east monsoon should have left the Thai island of Koh Samui more than a month ago, but the start of 2017 there has been greeted by a week of unremitting tropical storms.\n\nSupposedly the high season, Mr Supit's hotel is dripping with umbrellas and soaking towels. The rains have prevented many staff from getting to work, made his international guests miserable and washed away his organic garden.\n\nHe breaks his wai - the traditional palms together gesture of greeting - throwing his arms apart with a shrug and a shake of his head. \"What more can I do?\" he asks.\n\n\"We are going to cross the sea in front of us,\" he jokes as he attempts to drive down Main Street, floodwater sloshing up to the gunwales of his Ford.\n\n\"This is very strange weather. We had similar storms five years ago, but that was in March. I have never known a new year like this. We are thinking this must be the result of climate change.\"\n\nSupit Choo-in: \"We must focus on green again.\"\n\nLike the scooters abandoned beside the flooded roads, many of the resorts dotted around Samui's coast have spluttered to a stop. A few plucky guests have filmed themselves laughing on lilos bobbing down the street, beers in hand, but Thai tourism is an industry that floats on sunshine and there has been virtually none of that for a week.\n\nThe local TV news is reporting that hundreds of families on the holiday island have been left homeless, bridges are down and many roads are impassable beneath brown, malodorous floodwater. Elsewhere in the province, the unexpected deluge has killed at least 18 people.\n\nA mile from his hotel, Mr Supit stops his car to look at a rockfall that has crashed across the ring road, red boulders brought down by the heavy rains. \"We need to be focusing on green again,\" he murmurs.\n\nMr Supit recalls the environmental initiative launched with much fanfare by hoteliers and tour companies on Koh Samui in the late 90s after a landmark speech from the late king.\n\nThailand is still in mourning for King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died last October after 70 years on the throne. Black and white shrines to his memory are everywhere, reverence for the monarch akin to worship of a deity, his utterances regarded almost as sacred texts.\n\nIn 1997, after massive currency speculation led to the total collapse of the Thai economy, mass unemployment and food shortages, King Bhumibol addressed the nation. He appealed for what he called a \"sufficiency economy\", a philosophy of moderation, balance and caution that, he argued, would help Thailand cope with the socio-economic, cultural and environmental challenges of globalisation.\n\nSome translated the speech as a decree to introduce a sustainable tourism policy - a change long overdue in a country that had witnessed almost unconstrained development for decades. Deforestation, the destruction of natural habitats and a brazen prostitution industry were among the ugly faces of the tourism goldrush.\n\nOfficials cautioned that without the kind of restraint implicit in the king's crisis speech, many of the unspoiled natural environments that attracted travellers would be destroyed. Thailand's famous white beaches would be lost to the sea, one minister warned. Vibrant marine habitats and dense tropical jungles would be obliterated.\n\nA number of private hoteliers joined the Green Leaf Foundation, committing them to make their resorts carbon neutral. There are eco-friendly tour companies offering trips to the beautiful Angthong National Marine Park. On Koh Samui, a government-backed initiative called Seven Greens was introduced, promoting sustainable practices and philosophy.\n\nRecently, the Ministry of Tourism has urged holiday businesses to focus on attracting \"quality\" visitors - sophisticated and environmentally aware travellers who will value Thailand's natural and cultural treasures. The days of low-cost mass tourism are supposed to be numbered.\n\nUnseasonal downpours in southern Thailand have turned many streets into canals\n\nBut political rhetoric has not always matched reality. The tourist strips are still overflowing with sex bars, cheap beer and greasy burgers. Among Koh Samui's top attractions are monkey shows that animal welfare groups blame for wiping out half of Thailand's white-handed gibbon population.\n\nThis is not a country that finds it easy to embrace the sacrifices of a green revolution: government figures suggest the average Thai uses an astonishing eight plastic bags a day. In the last two decades around 60 environmental activists have been killed in Thailand while campaigning against powerful logging companies and industrial polluters. Some question just how serious the military-backed government is in pursuing green policies.\n\nIn his flooded organic garden, Mr Supit reflects on the 40 years since he landed his first tourist job as a pot washer in a Bangkok kitchen.\n\n\"In the early days, people spent more money than now,\" he tells me as we assess the damage wreaked by the unwelcome storms.\n\nIn 1960, only 81,000 tourists visited Thailand, mostly high-rollers and adventurers from Europe and the Far East, people prepared to pay for something exotic. \"Today many more come, but they don't spend - particularly the Chinese,\" Mr Supit laments.\n\nNot much is left of Mr Supit's organic garden\n\nA record 33 million tourists visited Thailand in 2016, more than eight million of them from China, pushing revenues up 18% in a single year. But Mr Supit is not alone in worrying that the country is overstretching itself.\n\n\"I am very much concerned,\" he confides. \"We have to lift up the quality and we must focus on green again. At the moment I don't think my guests are prepared to pay more for that.\"\n\nHis two-acre organic garden is an act of defiance: beds of traditional Thai basil and morning glory, lemongrass and lime trees are fed with homemade fertiliser, brewed on the plot from pineapple, molasses and water. When available, the Fairhouse Villa hotel chef makes full use of the fresh fruit, vegetables and spices. Sadly, his kitchen will not benefit for a while, with many of the garden's tender plants washed into the sea by the unseasonal storms.\n\n\"It is tough work,\" Mr Supit says, surveying the damage. \"But we will keep planting. We will get there.\"\n\nHe smiles and looks ruefully at the darkening sky.\n\nWith the rains still falling, Thailand needs more people like Mr Supit.", "Kidman says she is 'so connected' to the issues portrayed in Lion\n\nNicole Kidman has said she was brought to tears by the \"beautiful\" depiction of an adoptive mother's love in her latest film, Lion.\n\nThe actress, who plays adoptive mother Sue Brierley, has two adopted children in real life.\n\nKidman told the Victoria Derbyshire programme she wished she had more children.\n\nBut, she added, her husband Keith Urban tells her to \"shut down\" such urges.\n\nKidman told the programme that - in showing how an adoptive mother's love for a child is the same as a birth mother's - the film makes her cry.\n\n\"When it's shown in the film with such warmth and openness and compassion, I think that's a beautiful thing for people to see.\"\n\nShe said it brings her to tears \"probably because I'm so connected to it, and it's so succinctly put by the writer\".\n\nKidman has two adopted children with her former husband Tom Cruise - Isabella, 24, and Connor, 21.\n\nThe film tells the story of a young boy adopted by an Australian couple\n\nIn the film, directed by Garth Davis, her character adopts a five-year-old boy, Saroo, from an orphanage in the Indian city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).\n\nSaroo had become tragically separated from his family after he boarded a train and was transported hundreds of miles from his rural village.\n\nKidman says one scene in the film - which is based on a true story - epitomises an adoptive mother's love for her children.\n\nWhen Saroo begins his journey to find his birth mother, Kidman says her character Sue Brierley \"wanted his biological mother to know she'd kept him safe [and] raised him with love into a beautiful human being\".\n\nKidman describes the film as a \"love letter\" to all her children, and \"to other mothers and children too\".\n\n\"It's rare that we get [to talk about] unconditional love - that no matter where you go, what you do, what your journey is… I'm here and I love you.\"\n\nKidman has two young children, Sunday Rose, eight, and Faith, six, with country musician Urban.\n\nKidman, 49, is the same age her grandmother was when she gave birth for the final time.\n\nShe told Victoria Derbyshire she wished she had \"two or three more children\".\n\nBut, she added: \"My husband says 'that is the wanting mind Nicole, shut it down'.\"\n\nNevertheless, Kidman told Derbyshire: \"I love children, I love raising children.

She mentioned the word injustice 17 times, what she described as \"everyday\" injustice that breeds resentment between young and old, London and the rest of the country, rich and poor.\n\nListening to her on all of those big occasions, despite having been at the top table of the government for six years, you sense that Theresa May fundamentally thinks that there is quite a lot that is wrong with Britain.\n\nBut alongside what feels by now, a familiar and rather downbeat analysis of the state we are in, for the first time came what the prime minister wants us to see as her solution to all that.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Theresa May warns about rise of 'fringe' politics\n\nNot the Big Society of David Cameron, nor even Margaret Thatcher's much misquoted statement, \"there is no such thing as society - there are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first\".\n\nBut for Theresa May it is a \"shared society\", where we all have responsibilities to each other, and an \"active\" government has a responsibility to step in to help, not just the poorest, but the millions in the middle too.\n\nAfter a while, every political leader finds themselves in need of a slogan, and it's certainly not the worst that's ever been dreamed up.\n\nShe wants you to see her and her party as the sensible middle, on the side of ordinary families, not veering away from the centre ground. It's about as clear an appeal to Middle England, where elections are traditionally won, as you can find. But while she gave today the skeleton of a philosophy, there was not a fully fleshed-out body of policy to accompany it.\n\nAnd even before the speech was given, the policy that she did talk more about crashed into the common problem of reality versus political rhetoric. Theresa May's desire to make sure that people who need help with their mental health, particularly children, get what they need as soon as possible, and that society sheds the stigma around it, seems genuinely felt.\n\nBut she is not the first Conservative politician to have made such a promise. Her predecessor made a similar big one exactly a year ago.\n\nAnd more importantly perhaps, there is deep scepticism from opposition politicians and those who work in the sector, that the system can work properly without a significant amount of extra cash.\n\nWhat's happening on the ground was described to me as a \"car crash\" today by someone in the sector. However many times the prime minister says she wants to make sure mental health is treated just a seriously as physical health, the pressures on funding right across the NHS do matter.\n\nToday's measures are also about where money is being allocated, not opening up the taxpayer's chequebook to top up health budgets.\n\nBut that's not the only political problem that Theresa May's vision of a \"shared society\" will face. Prime ministers are always defined by what they choose to pursue but also by what they can't control.\n\nIn managing our departure from the EU, she faces the biggest challenge any leader has had in decades. Preventing her government from becoming consumed by that will take more than a series of speeches and a new slogan.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nMaria Sharapova will make her

forces have reached the Tigris River for the first time in the battle for Mosul marks a significant moment in the 12-week campaign to recapture so-called Islamic State's (IS) last major stronghold in the country.\n\nLieutenant General Abdal-Amir al-Lami, the Iraqi deputy chief of staff for operations, confirmed on 8 January that the Iraqi security forces (ISF) had seized the eastern end of one of the bridges linking the two sides of the city.\n\nA solid foothold seems to have been made in the riverside Beladiyat area, which is the site of many of Mosul's newer municipality offices and the Salam Hospital, the scene of a daring earlier attempt by Iraqi forces to punch a corridor through to the river.\n\nNorth of Beladiyat, the 2nd Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF) brigade experienced a simultaneous breakthrough towards the river in the Muthana neighbourhood and the ancient ruins of Nineveh.\n\nGains are also being made in north-east Mosul, as the 1st and 3rd ISOF brigades attempt the recapture of the Kindi military base and adjacent upper income neighbourhoods.\n\nBroad-based advances suggest that IS resistance is \"showing signs of collapse\" in east Mosul, as suggested by Brett McGurk, the senior US official in the counter-IS coalition, in a tweet on 8 January.\n\nOne causal factor was clearly the concentration of all available ISF forces in east Mosul, achieved by closing down ancillary assaults north and south-west of the city.\n\nDuring a two-week hiatus the 2nd Emergency Response Brigade and 5th Federal Police division troops were shifted from areas south-west of Mosul to new positions east of the Tigris.\n\nThese forces re-energised the ISF thrust towards Beladiyat and the bridges inside the city when the offensive was restarted on 29 December.\n\nAnother accelerant was the coalition's role in reconfiguring the Iraqi battle plan, fostering greater co-ordination between Iraqi headquarters and providing more powerful artillery and air strikes.\n\nThe latter boost in firepower required US howitzers to be deployed at the eastern edges of Mosul city.\n\nOver 400 coalition special forces were inserted into the urban battle as advisers and strike co-ordinators, often well within the range of IS attacks.\n\nSteady advances in east Mosul will provide a welcome bright spot as the gruelling battle for the city enters its 12th week.\n\nIraqi forces are now present in 35 of east Mosul's 47 neighbourhoods, including the largest and most densely populated parts of the east side.\n\nThousands of Iraqis have fled the fighting, though not as many as some predictions\n\nHard fighting may still be ahead for Mosul University and the Kindi army base, both of which are in east Mosul.\n\nNone of the 29 large and heavily populated west Mosul neighbourhoods have been liberated.\n\nUnless an unexpectedly rapid collapse of IS unfolds, the western side of the city will need to be assaulted in a separate military operation launched after some weeks of reset and planning for the ISF.\n\nThis suggests that east Mosul may be cleared in January 2017 or early February, whilst the clearance of west Mosul may stretch well into the second quarter of 2017.\n\nThe sequential clearing of different quarters of Mosul city may succeed in limiting the time that civilians are exposed to intense combat in individual neighbourhoods.\n\nThus far the battle has seen far less damage done to Mosul's infrastructure than previous attritional struggles like Ramadi in Iraq or Kobane in Syria, though the daily damage to neighbourhoods has intensified since the offensive restarted.\n\nFrame from video by Amaq news agency appearing to show a collapsed section of the Old Bridge\n\nThe coalition has specifically sought to minimise the cost and time required to rebuild bridges, selectively destroying easy-to-replace spars and off-ramps to deny the bridges to IS but to leave them quickly repairable after the battle.\n\nThe number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Mosul city itself was estimated by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs at 42,000 in early December, around 4-6% of Mosul's remaining population and a far lower number than many pre-battle projections.\n\nThe flow of IDPs from the city has increased since 29 December according to OCHA, including 15,942 in the eight days after the offensive restarted. However, OCHA also announced that security in liberated areas has also allowed 14,000 IDPs to return to Mosul city.\n\nAway from most media coverage, the liberated zones of east Mosul city are witnessing the gradual return of policing, running water and diesel-run neighbourhood electrical generation networks.\n\nMost important, the cross-sectarian and multi-ethnic ISF in Mosul city have broadly been accepted by local Sunni Arab residents, who seem grateful for their largely humane treatment of the population and their sacrifices in coming to the distant northern Sunni city of Mosul to liberate it from IS.\n\nIS is expected to step up attacks in other parts of Iraq as it loses hold of Mosul\n\nThe most likely IS response to the loss of east Mosul will be efforts to intensify anti-civilian bombings in Baghdad, where seven bombings in the first eight days of 2017 have killed 87 people and wounded as many as 231.\n\nThe Iraqi government and coalition are currently building up Baghdad's perimeter defences, installing sensors on tethered blimps and launching disruptive security operations in the rural outskirts of the city to break up bombing cells.\n\nDr Michael Knights is the Lafer Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

It is a reminder of what I was once told - that economics is not a science but the politics of money.\n\nThere have been times in the past when politicians have urged voters to go out and spend, almost as if shopping was a patriotic duty. In recent months, the British consumer has needed no urging.\n\nThere has been a surge in UK retail sales\n\nWarnings have been defied. Financed by a surge in borrowing, spending is accelerating. Confidence is high, buoyed by real income growth, the housing market outside London, low unemployment and a soaring stock market. Our European neighbours are a little open-mouthed at the way the script is unfolding.\n\nBut many of the same economists and forecasters who had warned against Brexit still believe a reckoning is coming. The rising costs of imports because of a weakened pound and increased fuel prices will combine to force some retailers to raise their prices. Higher inflation will test consumer appetites.\n\nThe robust economy has bought the government political space. It is not at the moment under pressure and does not yet need to show its hand but, slowly, a narrative is emerging that carries risks for Theresa May and her tightly-wound circle; that they are hobbled by indecision.\n\nPerhaps, not surprisingly, you hear it said in the European Commission that the government neither has a strategy for the negotiations ahead nor does it know what it wants.\n\nThat is seeping into the conversations in Westminster and was boosted by the charge from Sir Ivan Rogers, the former UK Ambassador to the EU, of \"muddled thinking\" in the government.\n\nSir Ivan Rogers has warned about \"muddled thinking\" over Brexit\n\nIt is a narrative rejected by Mrs May and, to be fair to No 10, there are no easy choices. It is as complex a negotiation as any government has faced. Inevitably some people will be disappointed.\n\nBrussels thinks the UK has made its choice. The PM has said the UK will insist on controlling EU immigration and on leaving the jurisdiction of the European courts. To those sitting in the halls of the EU that means Britain is set on leaving the single market because access to the internal market depends on accepting freedom of movement.\n\nTheresa May has repeatedly rejected the idea that what the UK wants is a binary decision. She certainly believes that the government has to reassert control over EU migration and that is close to being a red line.\n\nBut ministers believe that does not preclude a deal, whereby access to the single market is negotiated for certain industries or where some elements of freedom of movement are accepted, while negotiating for the right to apply a brake if the system is under pressure.\n\nAngela Merkel has said there will be \"no cherry picking\" by the UK over its Brexit deal\n\nThe official EU line is the one echoed by Angela Merkel who insists there will be \"no cherry picking\". So far, the 27 other members of the EU have been remarkably united behind that response.\n\nThe government, however, believes that once the negotiations start there will be greater flexibility to be exploited.\n\nDowning Street knows that almost any deal has the capacity to stir up divisions, not least within the PM's own party. The differences will not easily be reconciled.\n\nMany of the Brexiteers want to leave the single market and the customs union as quickly as possible, precisely because of the conditions attached to belonging to it.\n\nHowever, a sizeable part of the Conservative Party, the City and the business community believes that leaving the single market would be reckless, risking serious damage to the UK economy.\n\nSome time after the end of March, when Article 50 is triggered, the negotiations will begin. The initial focus will be on the terms of the divorce. Early on, the UK will face the bill to settle outstanding obligations, like contributions to the EU budget and towards EU pensions. In Brussels they put the price tag somewhere between 55 and 60 billion euros. That one item alone has the potential to sour negotiations.\n\nIn the two years to settle the divorce there will almost certainly be no time to agree a trade deal. That is why both the EU and some UK ministers are calling for a transitional arrangement.\n\nNegotiating new trade agreements will be a key part of a successful Brexit\n\nThis will be a much more dangerous period for the government. Inward investment may weaken, businesses may postpone expenditure and some companies may decide to move part of their operations to a EU capital, while consumers may lose their confidence.\n\nThe challenge for the government will be to keep the voters believing that an agreement is achievable which protects the economy.\n\nThe greatest risk for the prime minister is that her opening bid is dismissed out of hand or that it becomes apparent that a compromise is beyond reach. There are well-known figures in the European Commission who do not disguise their determination to see the UK hurt.\n\nThat was Sir Ivan Rogers's concern, that the UK could slide into a \"disorderly break\" with nothing to show for all the talking, leaving the UK trading under World Trade Organization rules with common tariffs.\n\nWithin 10 weeks Mrs May will have to shed her instinctive caution, define her goals and become the great persuader both in Europe and at home.\n\nAt some stage she will face the maxim \"to lead is to choose\".\n• None What are the Brexit options?", "Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he is looking at pay disparity within companies, but stopped short of confirming that he would cap the pay of top earners.", "One in five teens claims to have been cyberbullied but few admit to being the bully\n\nParents worry about their children being bullied online, but what if it is your child who is doing the bullying?\n\nThat was the question posed by a BBC reader, following a report on how children struggle to cope online.\n\nThere is plenty of information about how to deal with cyberbullies, but far less about what to do if you find out that your own child is the source.\n\nThe BBC took advice from experts and a mother who found out her daughter had been cyberbullying her school friends.\n\nNicola Jenkins found out that her 12-year-old daughter was posting unpleasant comments online from her teacher\n\nFew parents would want to admit that their child was a bully but Nicola Jenkins has gone on record with her story.

As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.\n\n\"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.\n\n\"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.\n\n\"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.\n\n\"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers.\"\n\nTwitter's image has been tarnished by trolls\n\nMany critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.\n\nSinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:\n\n\"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock.\"\n\nShe offered the following advice:\n\n\"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.\n\n\"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created.

The ONS looks at inequality across the whole population - there has also been much interest in comparing the richest 1% or 0.1% with the rest of the population.\n\nThe World Top Incomes Database (which you can see in figure 3 of this blog) suggests that since 1990 there has been relatively little change in the share of income taken by the richest 20% or 10% of the population.\n\nThe richest 1% and the richest 0.1% had seen their share of income rising steadily until the financial crisis, but it has fallen since then. So once again, inequality has not been growing.\n\nThe measures identified so far have been looking at income rather than wealth.\n\nIt is also possible to calculate Gini coefficients for wealth, although the latest official figures for it covered only up to the middle of 2014.\n\nFrom 2006 to 2014, there was a small increase in overall wealth inequality, with property wealth having the biggest effect.\n\nHousing costs are a particular issue - the Department for Work and Pensions calculates a Gini coefficient for income distribution that takes housing costs into account.\n\nThe difference it makes is that inequality increases in 2013-14, although it is still below pre-financial crisis levels.\n\nNone of this suggests that inequality does not exist in the UK or that it is not a problem or indeed that it is not worse than in other countries, but there is little evidence that it has been getting worse in the UK in the past decade.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section European Football\n\nCristiano Ronaldo was named the world's best player at the inaugural Best Fifa Football Awards, beating old rival Lionel Messi to the title.\n\nIt caps another amazing 12 months for the Real Madrid and Portugal player, a Champions League,European Championship and Ballon d'Or winner in 2016.\n\nBut who did he vote for?\n\nThe voting data throws up some interesting - and sometimes surprising - results.\n\nTake our quiz to see how well you can guess the voting patterns of the world football community.\n• None See a rundown of how the votes were cast", "Barack Obama sealed his racial legacy the moment he sealed victory in the 2008 election - a black man would occupy a White House built by slaves, a history-defying as well as history-making achievement.\n\nIn 1961, the year of Obama's birth, there existed in the American South a system of racial apartheid that separated the races from the cradle to the grave.\n\nIn some states, his very conception - involving an African father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas - would have been a criminal offence.\n\nWhen in the 1950s, a former TV executive by the name of E Frederic Morrow became the first black White House aide not to have a job description that included turning down beds, polishing shoes or serving drinks with a deferential bow, he was prohibited from ever being alone in the same room as a white woman.\n\nBack then, as Morrow recounted in his memoir, Black Man in the White House, African-Americans were routinely stereotyped as sexual predators incapable of controlling their desires.\n\nLittle more than half a century later, a black man ran the White House - occupying the Oval Office, sitting at the head of the conference table in the Situation Room, relaxing with his beautiful young family in the Executive Mansion - a family that has brought such grace and glamour to America's sleepy capital that it is possible to speak of a Black Camelot.\n\nPresident and first lady on the first day of his presidency\n\nWhen Jack and Jackie Kennedy lived in the White House, that would have been unthinkable, even though the civil rights movement was starting to hammer more insistently at the walls of prejudice, and seeking legal and legislative redress for a malignant national condition described as the \"American dilemma\".\n\nWhen demonstrators assembled in August 1963 to hear Martin Luther King deliver his I Have a Dream Speech at the Lincoln Memorial, few would have thought that a black man would one day take the oath of office at the other end of the National Mall.\n\nLikewise, how many of the protesters bludgeoned by white policemen on Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma in 1965 would have dared to imagine that, 50 years later, they would cross that same bridge hand in hand with the country's first black president?\n\nFor veterans of the black struggle, those remarkable images of Obama marking the 50th anniversary of the Selma protest became instantly iconographic, a truly golden jubilee.\n\nIn legacy terms, his very presence in the White House is one of the great intangibles of his presidency. Just how many black Americans have been encouraged to surmount colour bars of their own? Just how many young African-Americans have altered the trajectory of their lives because of the example set by Obama?\n\nAnd behaviourally, what an example it has been. Because of the lingering racism in American society, the Obamas doubtless knew they would have to reach a higher standard, and they have done so, seemingly, without breaking a sweat. In deportment and personal conduct, it is hard to recall a more impressive or well-rounded First Family.\n\nThe \"when they go low, we go high\" approach to racists who questioned his citizenship has made the Obamas look even more classy.\n\nHis family's dignity in the face of such ugliness recalls the poise of black sit-in protesters in the early 60s, who refused to relinquish their seats at segregated restaurants and lunch counters even as white thugs poured sugar and ketchup over their heads, and punched, kicked and spat at them.\n\nYet racial firsts, of the kind achieved by Barack Hussein Obama, can present a distorted view of history and convey a misleading sense of progress. They are, by their very nature, a singular achievement, a milestone indicative of black advance rather than a destination point.\n\nHollywood did not become colourblind the moment in 1964 that Sidney Poitier became the first black man to win best actor at the Academy Awards any more than discrimination ended in the justice system when Thurgood Marshall first donned the billowing robes of a Supreme Court jurist.\n\nYears after Poitier's win, black acting success at the Oscars continued to elude many\n\nAmerica's racial problems have not melted away merely because Obama has spent eight years in the White House. Far from it.\n\nIndeed, the insurmountable problem for Obama was that he reached the mountaintop on day one of his presidency.\n\nAchieving anything on the racial front that surpassed becoming the country's first black president was always going to be daunting. Compounding that problem were the unrealistically high expectations surrounding his presidency.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Barack Obama: What would he have done differently?\n\nHis election triumph is 2008 was also misinterpreted as an act of national atonement for the original sin of slavery and the stain of segregation.\n\nYet Obama did not win the election because he was a black man. It was primarily because a country facing an economic crisis and embroiled in two unpopular wars was crying out for change.\n\nDoubtless there have been substantive reforms. His two black attorneys general, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, have revitalised the work of the justice department's civil rights division, which was dormant during the Bush years.\n\nThe Affordable Healthcare Act, or Obamacare, as it was inevitably dubbed, cut the black uninsured rate by a third.\n\nPartly in a bid to reverse the rate of black incarceration, he has commuted the sentences of hundreds of prisoners - 10 times the number of his five predecessors added together.\n\nAs well as calling for the closure of private prisons, he became the first president to visit a federal penitentiary. \"There but for the grace of God,\" said a man who had smoked pot and dabbled with cocaine in his youth.\n\nJanitor Fred Thomas shows off his Obama subway fare card in Washington in 2009\n\nEarly on, he used the bully pulpit of the presidency to assail black absentee fathers, and, more latterly, spoke out against police brutality. But that record of accomplishment looks rather meagre when compared to the drama of hearing \"Hail to the Chief\" accompany the arrival of a black man on the presidential stage.\n\nRace relations have arguably become more polarised and tenser since 20 January 2009. Though smaller in scale and scope, the demonstrations sparked by police shootings of unarmed black men were reminiscent of the turbulence of the 1960s.\n\nThe toxic cloud from the tear gas unleashed in Ferguson and elsewhere cast a long and sometimes overwhelming shadow. Not since the LA riots in 1992 - the violent response to the beating of Rodney King and the later acquittal of the police officers filmed assaulting him - has the sense of black grievance and outrage been so raw.\n\nHistorians will surely be struck by what looks like an anomaly, that the Obama years gave rise to a movement called Black Lives Matter.\n\nPublic opinion surveys highlight this racial restlessness. Not long after he took office in 2009, a New York Times/CBS News poll suggested two-thirds of Americans regarded race relations as generally good. In the midst of last summer's racial turbulence, that poll found there had been a complete reversal. Now 69% of Americans assessed race relations to be mostly bad.\n\nAn oft-heard criticism of Obama is that he has failed to bring his great rhetorical skills to bear on the American dilemma, and prioritised the LGBT community's campaign for equality at the expense of the ongoing black struggle.\n\nBut while he was happy to cloak himself in the mantle of America's first black president, he did not set out to pursue a black presidency. He did not want his years in office to be defined by his skin colour.\n\nThe impact of Obama's presence in the White House on a black generation is impossible to calculate\n\nAs a candidate, he often left others to attach racial meaning to his candidacy, rather than doing so himself.\n\nHis famed race speech in the 2008 primary campaign, when his friendship with a fiery black preacher threatened to derail his candidacy, was as much about his white heritage as his black.\n\nThis remained true when he won election. Besides, there were pressing problems to deal with, not least rescuing the American economy in the midst of the Great Recession and extricating US forces from two long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nEarly on in his presidency, his efforts at racial mediation also seemed ham-fisted. The \"beer summit\" at the White House, when he brought together the black Harvard academic Henry Louis Gates and the white police officer who had arrested him on the porch of his own home in an affluent suburb of Boston, all seemed rather facile.\n\nA clumsy photo-opportunity rather than a teachable moment. Obama, one sensed, wanted to speak out more forcefully - initially he said the Cambridge police \"acted stupidly\" - but his political cautiousness reined him in.\n\nSeemingly, he did not want to come across to the public as a black man in the White House.\n\nRather in those early years, it was as if he was trying to position himself as a neutral arbiter in racial matters, though one sensed his preference was for not intervening at all.\n\nAs his presidency went on, however, it became more emphatically black. He spoke out more passionately and more intimately.\n\nTelling reporters that his son would have looked like Trayvon Martin, the unarmed high school student shot dead in Florida by a neighbourhood watch coordinator, was a departure.\n\nThis new, more candid approach culminated in Charleston, South Carolina, when Obama delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Reverend Clementa Pinckney, the black preacher slain, along with eight other worshippers, by a white supremacist at a bible study class at the Emanuel American Methodist Episcopal church.\n\nThat afternoon he spoke, as he often does in front of mainly black audiences, with a cadence that almost ventriloquised the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and ended, electrifyingly, by singing Amazing Grace.\n\nThe acquittal of Martin's killer led to the creation of Black Lives Matter\n\nThat month he seemed to be at the height of his powers.\n\nThe Confederate flag, a symbol for many of black subordination, was about to brought down in the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol because the Charleston gunman Dylann Roof had brandished it so provocatively.\n\nObamacare had withstood a Supreme Court challenge. On the morning that he flew to Charleston, the Supreme Court decreed same-sex marriage would be legal in every state. Progressivism seemed to have triumphed. Obama seemed to have vanquished many of his foes.\n\nBut that month Donald Trump had also announced his improbable bid for the White House, and the forces of conservatism were starting to rally behind an outspoken new figurehead, who sensed that nativism, xenophobia and fear of the other would be central to his electoral appeal.\n\nThat America's first black president will be followed by the untitled leader of the Birther movement, a candidate slow to disavow support from the Ku Klux Klan and happy to receive the backing of white nationalists, Donald Trump can easily be portrayed as a personal repudiation and also proof of racial regression.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe truth, though, is more complicated.\n\nObama is ending his presidency with some of his highest personal approval ratings, and clearly believes he would have beaten Trump in a head-to-head contest. Moreover, although Trump won decisively in the electoral college, almost three million people more voted for Hillary Clinton nationwide.\n\nIn judging the mood of the country, the 2016 election hardly produced a clear-cut result that lends itself to neat analysis.\n\nWhat Trump's election does look to have done, however, is end Obama's hopes of being a transformative president, not least because of the proposed rollback of his signature healthcare reform.\n\nTruly transformative presidents, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, enact reforms, like social security, that become part of the nation's fabric rather than being ripped apart. If Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress get their way, Obamacare will be shredded.\n\nNor has he been transformative in the attitudinal sense. Indeed, Trump's victory, messy though it was, can easily be viewed partly as a \"whitelash\".\n\nMuch of his earliest and strongest support came from so-called white nationalists, who saw in his candidacy the chance to reassert white cultural and racial dominance. Some of the loudest cheers at his rallies came in response his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim invectives.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Millennials worry about what's in store for the next generation of black Americans\n\nTrump's message, from the moment he announced his candidacy to the final tweets of his insurgent campaign, was aimed primarily at white America.\n\nThe billionaire's victory also makes it harder to view Obama as a transitional president. Eight years ago, it was tempting to cast the country's first black president as the leader who would oversee a peaceable demographic shift from a still strongly Caucasian America - the last census showed that 62.6% of US citizens are white - to a more ethnically diffuse nation.\n\nBut the talk now is of walls, not human bridges.\n\nOf course, the notion that Obama would usher in a post-racial America was always fanciful, and a claim wisely he steered clear of himself. For all his cries of \"Yes we can,\" he was never that naïve.\n\nA young visitor to the Oval Office asks Obama if his hair feels like his, in 2009\n\nBut the black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a persuasive case that Obama has always been overly optimistic on race, in large part because he did not have a conventional black upbringing.\n\nHis formative years were spent in Hawaii, America's most racially integrated state, and the whites he encountered, namely his mother and grandparents, were doting and loving.\n\nObama was not the victim of discrimination in the same way as a black kid growing up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or even New York or Illinois. As a result, he may have underestimated the forces that would seek to paralyse his presidency and to impede racial advance more broadly.\n\nThe president has said repeatedly since election night that the result proves that history is not linear but rather takes a zig-zagging course.\n\nCaught in the act, asleep in the White House\n\nHe is also fond of paraphrasing Martin Luther King's famed line that the arc of history bends towards justice. However, that curvature has veered off in a wholly unexpected direction.\n\nBesides, even to talk of arcs of history at this moment of such national uncertainty seems inapt.\n\nFor as we enter the final days of the Obama presidency, the more accurate descriptor of race relations is a fault-line - the most angry fault-line in US politics and American life, and one that continues to rumble away, threatening small explosions at any time.\n\nFrom Obama we expected seismic change of a more positive kind.\n\nAnd although it was a presidency that began atop a mountain, it ended in something of a valley.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nThe World Cup will be expanded to host 48 teams, up from 32, Fifa has decided.\n\nAn initial stage of 16 groups of three teams will precede a knockout stage for the remaining 32 when the change is made for the 2026 tournament.\n\nThe sport's world governing body voted unanimously in favour of the change at a meeting in Zurich on Tuesday.\n\nThe number of tournament matches will rise to 80, from 64, but the eventual winners will still play only seven games.\n\nThe tournament will be completed within 32 days - a measure to appease powerful European clubs, who objected to reform because of a crowded international schedule.\n\nThe changes mark the first World Cup expansion since 1998.\n\nIt will make a mockery of the qualification process for most confederations Campaign group New Fifa Now\n\nWhy expand?

Reports had suggested there could be a penalty shootout at the end of each drawn match.\n\nBut Infantino said: \"This will be part of the regulations to be decided a few years before the event, it is nothing for now.\"\n\nThe Football Association said in a statement: \"We will work with Uefa, Fifa and the other European associations to understand how the 48-team Fifa World Cup will work.\n\n\"The priority has to be consideration of the potential impact on fans, players, teams and leagues, and also recognition of the importance of sporting integrity and commercial viability.\n\n\"In terms of the allocation of places, we note that further discussions will follow across the confederations and would expect a proper consultation process to be carried out before any decision is made.\"\n\nScottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan welcomed the expansion, saying it was a a \"positive step, particularly for the smaller nations\".\n\nUefa, European football's governing body,said: \"It was clear that all other confederations were overwhelmingly in favour of expanding the Fifa World Cup to 48 teams. As a result, Uefa decided to join in supporting the new format of the competition.\n\n\"Uefa is satisfied that it succeeded in postponing the final decision regarding the slot allocation of every confederation in the future format of the Fifa World Cup.\n\n\"We would also like to state that we are happy that the new proposed length and format of the tournament does not increase the burden on players. We will also ensure that clubs' interests will continue to be protected.\"\n\nWhat the critics say: 'It will dilute the competitiveness'\n\nThe European Club Association (ECA), which represents the interests of clubs at European level, reiterated it was not in favour of an expansion. It said Fifa had made a political rather than sporting decision.\n\n\"We fail to see the merits to changing the format of 32 that has proven to be the perfect formula from all perspectives,\" it said in a statement.\n\n\"Questionable is also the urgency in reaching such an important decision, with nine years to go until it becomes applicable, without the proper involvement of stakeholders who will be impacted by this change.\n\n\"ECA will analyse in detail the impact and the consequences of the new format and will address the matter at the next meeting of its executive board, scheduled for the end of January.\"\n\nNew Fifa Now says the governing body needs to reform, said it would \"dilute the competitiveness of the tournament\".\n\n\"It will not help development of the game or provide improved competitive opportunities for lower-ranked nations,\" it added. \"Instead, it will make a mockery of the qualification process for most confederations.\"\n\n1 group of 4 and 3 groups of 3, with only top team progressing to semi-finals 3 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3, with top side progressing to final group of four 4 groups of 4, but only 2 games in each group, with top 2 sides through to quarter-finals 4 groups of 4, this time with 3 games.

But who uses such places and how do they work?\n\nOn a cold and wet Thursday morning, there are already users inside Skyen, one of Copenhagen's fix rooms.\n\nAngelea Let, 49, sits in one of the cubicles in the smoking room to take crack cocaine.\n\n\"I get a good feeling from my legs to my head, it has already taken away 50% of my pain,\" she says as she smokes.\n\nAngelea told the Victoria Derbyshire programme she can spend around £600 a week on crack.\n\nShe is one of hundreds of users who visit Skyen each day. The irony of the situation is not hard to see.\n\nThe fix room has an area where people can inject themselves with drugs\n\nWhile the hard drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, are illegal, in a fix room they can be taken under the watchful gaze of medical supervisors. The equipment they are given, including needles for injecting, is clean and supplied by the shelter.\n\nEverything is laid on - bar the drugs, which users must bring with them.\n\nInjecting rooms have been around for more than 30 years. Drug rooms exist officially in several European countries, including Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Spain, as well as in Canada and Australia.\n\nThere are six fix rooms in Denmark, and many others around Europe\n\nAnd Britain could be next in line. Glasgow is planning to open the UK's first drugs consumption room and those behind it have been looking to countries like Denmark for inspiration.\n\nDenmark opened its first fix room in 2012 and Skyen, which started three years ago, is one of six now running in the country. Funded by public money, it costs about £1m a year to run.\n\nThe set-up is organised and managed. There are two separate areas for people to take drugs - the injecting room, which seats up to nine people, and another room with eight seats, for those who want to smoke hard drugs.\n\nBut don't such facilities encourage illegal drug use?\n\n\"The situation in the area before we had the drug consumption room was that we had all the drug users sitting around in the streets, shooting drugs in public,\" says Christiansen. \"After we opened this place, about 90% of the outdoor drugs use is gone.\n\n\"We have had hundreds of overdose situations, not a single one has been fatal.\n\nRasmus Koberg Christiansen says it is better to take people's drug use away from the streets\n\n\"Our purpose is harm reduction, however, if or when a user expresses a wish to stop or cut down on their drug use, we react immediately and help the person to make contact to a relevant facility.\"\n\nLocated in the heart of the Danish capital's red light district, Skyen is conveniently situated for Angelea, who volunteers in a soup kitchen by day and works as prostitute by night.\n\nIt was the effects of a car accident almost 20 years ago that led to her drug habit, she says.\n\n\"After I was in the accident, there was no feeling in my left leg and arm for about six years. I have the feeling back now, but I'm in constant pain.\"\n\nTo take the edge off, Angelea smokes mostly crack cocaine, and occasionally heroin.\n\nShe feels safe in the fix room, knowing that the staff and one of the nurses constantly on duty will watch over her. They are there to prevent people from dying from overdosing.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. 'Could you live my life for one week?'\n\nThere is a constant flow of people in an out of the Skyen rooms throughout the day. Some of them are new faces to the staff, but many are regular users and can come multiple times in a few hours.\n\nAngelea is back later in the afternoon to smoke crack again.\n\n\"I'm here again because I'm in so much pain,\" she says as she rushes into the smoking room.\n\nThe drugs room stays open through the night, closing only for an hour each morning for cleaning.\n\nIt is not a treatment facility to get addicts off drugs, and many people will use it before going back to their difficult and sometimes dangerous lifestyles.\n\nLate in the evening, only a few streets away, Angelea is out working, trying to find customers to pay for her next fix.\n\n\"I'm going to work, make some money and then smoke cocaine, then go back to work, make more money and smoke more cocaine again in the fix room. This is my lovely life,\" she says, laughing bitterly.\n\nAnother room in Skyen is set up for those who smoke hard drugs\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.\n\nThe Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.", "Theresa May has unveiled plans to do more to help those, particularly young people, with mental health conditions.\n\nIn her speech at the Charity Commission, the prime minister announced a number of pledges including training at every secondary school, training for employers and organisations, and the appointment of a mental health campaigner.\n\nHere, people have been sharing their experiences of mental health services.\n\nFor the last three years, I have been saying exactly what the prime minister has announced today.\n\nI lost my daughter Chloe Rose to suicide two and a half years ago - she was 19.\n\nShe was under the care of Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) but discharged at 16.\n\nThere is a gap in care from the age of 16 to 18. After 16, you're put into the adult mental health category.\n\nBut a young person in a dark place may miss an important appointment - who follows them up to see if they're OK?\n\nI've carried out talks to police recruits and college students, and have done many charity events.\n\nI ran a 100km [62-mile] ultramarathon in memory of my daughter - it was for the charity Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide, which is a great charity I use who support people going through suicide grief.\n\nI'm currently serving in the Army as a sergeant, and I'm going through a transfer to become an Army welfare worker.\n\nAlso, I will soon be getting qualified as a adult and young persons' mental-health first-aid instructor and also a trainer in applied suicide-intervention skills training.\n\nBeing in the military, I'm well aware of the stigma and lack of resources that are not available to us and the community.\n\nI run a social media page, Miles for Mental Health, to raise awareness of organisations as well as funds to help pay for people to do mental health first-aid courses.\n\nI'm pushing for the courses to be brought into the curriculum in both primary and secondary schools, as well as in companies, communities, and the military.\n\nI'm a firm believer that experience, education, research, intervention and preparation can potentially save a life.\n\nThe new measures have received praise from some, but others think the government has not gone far enough\n\nMental health services have been in crisis for the last five years.\n\n[In my job as a community psychiatric nurse,] we have no beds or resources.\n\nMy team has over 90 people on its caseload.\n\nWe struggle to cope with 45.\n\nWe take people on to avoid admission, but we have no beds to admit to.\n\nThis year, [after 40 years,] I have had enough, it's time for me to go, I cannot cope with the strain and pressure anymore.\n\nThe government do nothing, they lie and manipulate all the time.\n\nTrust managers know what is happening but are unable to act.\n\nI've had experience of both NHS and private mental health facilities recently, and the NHS is far worse at dealing with mental health issues.\n\nI had quite a bad experience with a GP who was very dismissive of these issues, so I opted to go through a Live Well facility in my local area.\n\nThis was better for me, but still has a very light touch and [is] generic, without any effort or in my view ability to deal with mental health issues.\n\nI'm in a position where I can afford private healthcare, however many are not, so I can only imagine how widespread this issue is.\n\nI'm glad that there will, hopefully, now be a far greater focus on mental health, but there needs to be both words and action to tackle the problem.\n\nMy daughter had anorexia last year.\n\nShe suffers from self-esteem issues and the feeling of needing to be perfect.\n\nShe was diagnosed [at] the beginning of April, but the nearest appointment to see a Camhs worker was the middle of June, which I feared would have been too late for my daughter.\n\nI took her to the GP again due to her deteriorating health, but he told me that I had to wait for the Camhs appointment.\n\nAt this point her weight was in the danger zone, down to five stone.\n\nIn the meantime, I tried manage it all myself, using all kinds of approaches to help my daughter.\n\nWhen she was eventually seen by Camhs, she was so ill she was admitted to hospital.\n\nShe had to stay in a general hospital for two weeks before there was a bed available in a specialist hospital.\n\nBut the nearest bed was over 120 miles from home in Middlesbrough, as there is no provision in the whole of Cumbria.\n\nShe stayed in Middlesbrough for seven weeks - it affected her mental health further by being so far away from home, but in the end it was the best place for her.\n\nWhen she was discharged, she needed to see a dietician, but the only one in Cumbria was off sick.\n\nMy daughter didn't see a dietician for six weeks.\n\nMy main issue is that GPs didn't understand the seriousness of this mental health disorder - the system is woefully inadequate.", "Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, has faced tough questioning about past allegations of racism during a confirmation hearing.\n\nHe dismissed the claims and in response to a Republican colleague who asked him how it felt to be labelled a \"racist or bigot\" insisted he would defend the rights of all Americans.", "The BBC's Nawal Al-Maghafi has been granted access to the front line of the Yemen army's battle for the capital Sanaa, which has been controlled by Houthi rebel fighters since 2015.", "The claim: The government will not be able to achieve the manifesto commitment to build 200,000 starter homes by 2020.\n\nReality Check verdict: It currently seems unlikely because money has only been set aside for 60,000 starter homes. Also, the current plan is for 22% of new developments to be starter homes, which would mean one million suitable homes being built by 2020 - that would be a significant acceleration of house building.\n\nThe government announced on Tuesday that it had given the go-ahead for the construction of thousands of starter homes.\n\nStarter homes are new homes built for first-time buyers between 23 and 40 years old, sold at least 20% below market value. The maximum price after the discount has been applied is £250,000 outside London and £450,000 in the capital.\n\nThe Conservatives made a commitment in their manifesto for the 2015 general election to build 200,000 starter homes - the pledge to do so by 2020 was repeated in the call for expressions of interest in building starter homes that was released last March.\n\nOn BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday, shadow housing minister John Healey said: \"They've promised by 2020 to build 200,000 of them, which no-one believes is possible.\"\n\nThe document from March talked about £2.3bn of funding from the 2015 Spending Review to support up to 60,000 starter homes, which would still leave the government well short of the target.\n\nThe government is not talking a great deal about starter homes at the moment, promising more details of how it will deliver them in the housing White Paper, which is due later this month.\n\nThe funding for the programme is supposed to pay for things like local authorities making brownfield sites suitable for residential development.\n\nAt the moment, the government wants to use the planning system to get affordable housing built. Essentially, developers will have to agree that of every five homes they build, one will have to be a starter home.\n\nIn a recent consultation the government said under the new system at least 22% of all new builds would be starter homes. That means almost one million new homes would have to be built by 2020 to hit the government's 200,000 target.\n\nIn 2015, there were a total of 170,730 new homes built, which would not be enough over three years, even if all of them gave 22% as starter homes.\n\nBut perhaps the May government will drop the commitment made under David Cameron or there will be another route to the creation of starter homes in the forthcoming White Paper.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The L'Oreal brush uses acoustic sensors to listen for breaking hair\n\nBeauty giant L'Oreal has unveiled a smart hairbrush packed with sensors to help consumers improve their brushing technique.\n\nThe Hair Coach, which will retail at just under $200 (£160), contains a microphone, gyroscope and accelerometer among other sensors.\n\nIt also vibrates if you brush too hard.\n\nThe brush is one of a handful of new beauty gadgets that have been announced at this year's CES tech show in Las Vegas.\n\nThe brush's in-built microphone records the sounds of breaking hair.

You can take whatever painkillers but end up in bed the whole day.\n\nMutinta Musokotwane-Chikopela says there are already too many holidays in Zambia\n\n\"And sometimes, you find that someone is irritable before her menses start, but as they progress, it gets better. So, in my case, it's just the first day to help when the symptoms are really bad.\"\n\nWomen in Zambia do not need to make prior arrangements to be absent from work, but can simply call in on the day to say they are taking Mother's Day.\n\nAn employer who denies female employees this entitlement can be prosecuted.\n\nMs Mazimba's boss, Justin Mukosa, supports the law and says he understands the pressure women face in juggling careers and family responsibilities.\n\nA married man himself, he says the measure can have a positive impact on women's work:\n\n\"Productivity is not only about the person being in the office. It should basically hinge on the output of that person.\"\n\nBut he admits there are problems with the current system in terms of losing staff at short notice and also the temptation for people to play the system:\n\n\"It could be abused in the context that maybe an individual might have some personal plans they wish to attend to so she takes Mother's Day on the day.\n\nNdekela Mazimba's (R) boss Justin Mukosa (L) is supportive of the law\n\nNot everyone is so supportive of Mother's Day, and there are many women among the critics.\n\nMutinta Musokotwane-Chikopela is married and has three children.\n\nShe has a full-time marketing job but never takes Mother's Day, arguing that it encourages laziness in working women.\n\n\"I don't believe in it and I don't take it. Menses are a normal thing in a woman's body; it's like being pregnant or childbirth,\" she says.\n\n\"I think women take advantage of that, especially that there's no way of proving that you are on your menses or not.\"\n\nMs Chikopela says the provision should have been made more clear in the law.\n\n\"The problem in Zambia is that we have too many holidays - including a holiday for national prayers. So I guess Mother's Day makes those that love holidays happy.\"\n\nWomen in Zambia are traditionally the primary care-givers in the family\n\nThe Zambia Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), the umbrella body representing the country's workers, is also a supporter of the law.\n\nBut the entitlement \"would have to be forfeited\" if a woman were to take it on a day that she was not on her period, says Catherine Chinunda, national trustee at ZCTU.\n\n\"We have been educating women about Mother's Day, telling them that on that day, they are supposed to rest and not even go shopping or do other jobs because that is wrong,\" she says.\n\nThe law itself provides no guidance about what is allowed and it would appear that very few, if any, employers have internal policy guidance in that respect.\n\nShe dismisses the idea that men should also get a day off every month, as has been suggested by some:\n\n\"Men sometimes go to drink and miss work…. they don't know how it feels to be on menses.\"\n\nBut while praising the concept of Mother's Day, some argue that the reality is bad for business.\n\n\"Your superiors may have planned work for you to do and when you suddenly stay away from work, it means work will suffer, says Harrington Chibanda, head of the Zambia Federation of Employers.\n\nLawyer Linda Kasonde says the law recognises the important role Zambian women play in society\n\n\"Imagine a company that has a number of employees and six or seven take Mother's Day on the same day. What will happen to productivity?\" he asks.\n\nLabour Minister Joyce Nonde-Simukoko, a former trade union activist, tells me that Mother's Day was initially informally observed in the 1990s before eventually being brought into law.\n\nBut she has stern words for anyone thinking of using the entitlement to bunk off work:\n\n\"If you absent yourself yet you are found in a disco house, then it will not be taken as Mother's Day.\n\n\"You shouldn't even leave town, be found doing your hair or shopping. You can be fired. For example, somebody was found farming after taking Mother's Day and she was fired.\"\n\nOne of the problems with the law is that it does not make this explicit, leading to confusion among employers and employees alike.\n\nBut perhaps even more than the practical benefits, it is the intention and the spirit of the legislation that many Zambians support.\n\n\"The reason why mother's day is important within the Zambian context is that it recognises that women are the primary care-givers in our society - regardless of whether they are married or not.\"", "Phelan, 54, took over as caretaker manager following Steve Bruce's departure in the summer, becoming a permanent appointment in October.\n\nBut with City in the relegation zone, picking up three points from their last nine games, the club announced they had \"parted company\" with Phelan.\n\nHull said they were already searching for a replacement, with an announcement to be made \"in due course\".\n\nPhelan made a promising start to his Hull City career, winning the manager of the month award for August, but the Tigers' last league win was on 6 November, a 2-1 victory over Southampton.\n\nSwansea's victory over Crystal Palace on Tuesday night sent Hull to the bottom of the table, three points from safety.\n\nFormer Manchester United assistant Phelan was in charge of the club for just 85 days as a manager, plus 81 days as caretaker boss.\n\nAssistant Neil McDonald, goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms and chief scout Stan Ternent have also left the club.\n\nOn Twitter, the club said: \"We would like to thank Mike for his efforts both as assistant manager and head coach over the last two years.\"\n\nPhelan's last game in charge was a 3-1 defeat by West Brom on New Year's Eve. City were leading 1-0 at half-time but collapsed in the second half, falling to a fifth defeat in seven games.\n\nHull will next play fellow strugglers Swansea in the FA Cup third round before taking on Manchester United in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals on 10 January.\n\nIt has been a tumultuous season for the club, which is up for sale. In July, Bruce left as manager after gaining promotion to the Premier League with a breakdown in his relationship with vice-chairman Ehab Allam contributing to his departure.\n\nAt the beginning of the season injuries had left the Tigers with only 13 fit senior players although Phelan, while in temporary charge, did begin the campaign with successive league wins.\n\nVictories have been harder to come by since September, however, and with fellow strugglers Swansea and Crystal Palace sacking their managers over Christmas, Phelan paid the price as newly promoted Hull attempt to maintain their Premier League status.\n\nStoke manager Mark Hughes, whose team beat Watford 2-0 on Tuesday, said: \"Mike got the job under difficult circumstances and I thought recent performances had markedly improved, so it showed he was having an impact.\n\n\"He's a great football guy, but that's the Premier League for you - it's ruthless and sometimes, at this time of year, owners get panicky.\"\n\nThe dash to avoid the drop from the Premier League has claimed another victim with Hull City's sacking of Mike Phelan.\n\nPhelan has gone the same way as Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace and Bob Bradley at Swansea City as further evidence that patience simply does not - indeed some clubs feel it cannot - exist when the threat of relegation looms.\n\nAnd yet here is a manager who took his time to accept the Hull job when contenders were hardly queuing outside the door of the KC Stadium and after being named Premier League manager of the month in August.\n\nPhelan has also guided Hull to the EFL Cup semi-final against his former club Manchester United but this has simply not figured in the club's calculations when weighed against the fact they are bottom of the table with only 13 points from 20 games.\n\nPhelan has hardly had massive backing in the transfer market and in many games Hull actually played well without getting points on the board. This has ultimately cost him his job.\n\nThe Tigers now need to choose carefully and see if they can find a way to back a new manager in the January market - with former Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett the name being mentioned after Phelan's departure.\n\nPremier League management is a brutal business but there must still be a large measure of sympathy for Phelan after taking on a task which plenty thought was a thankless one.", "Execs will have earned more by midday on January 4, than ordinary workers earn in the entire year, says the High Pay Centre think tank.", "As Cuba slowly opens up its economy to the rest of the world, more and more Cubans are learning English. The Cuban government has made proficiency in English a requirement for all high school and university students. As Will Grant reports from Havana, that approach differs from the Cold War, when Russian was the preferred foreign language.\n\nAt the annual Havana Jazz Festival, the audience members, much like the music, were a mix of international and Cuban.\n\nSitting on plastic chairs at the open-air venue, visitors from the United States, Europe and China mingled with local jazz aficionados.\n\nOn stage, a saxophonist who lives in Denmark was reunited with some old Cuban friends.\n\nAt such an international event, the common language is generally English.\n\nMany Cubans are already learning the language themselves, and if not, they are trying to make sure their children are.\n\nMorning assembly at Jesus Suarez Gayol Secondary School on the outskirts of Havana begins with the school's anthem.\n\nSecondary school pupils are expected to reach a certain standard in English\n\nThe school is named after one of the guerrillas who fought alongside Ernesto \"Che\" Guevara but these teenagers are growing up in an increasingly different Cuba to the one Jesus Suarez did.\n\nFor a start, a certain proficiency in English is now a requirement for all secondary school children and university graduates.\n\nDuring the Cold War, students could choose between learning English and Russian but Cuba's educational authorities told the BBC they now consider English a necessary skill for all of the nation's youth.\n\n\"As an international language, English has always had a place in our curriculum,\" says Director of Secondary Education Zoe de la Red Iturria.\n\n\"But we are now rolling out new techniques to evolve our learning of the English language,\" she adds.\n\nZoe de la Red Iturria wants to modernise English-language learning in Cuba\n\nBut language-teaching methods remain quite traditional, relying heavily on textbooks, parrot-fashion repetition and with only very limited Internet access.\n\nOlga Perez, national adviser for English teaching in Cuba, says the authorities are hoping to tackle that last issue.\n\n\"It would be very good for us if we had the internet in the schools. And we hope that in the future, we'll not only have the internet, we're also dreaming of installing language laboratories in every school.\"\n\nAnd it is not just in the classrooms that English can be heard more frequently but on the streets of Havana, too.\n\nIn what was a record year for tourism to Cuba, many Cubans have tried to teach themselves English without the help of any formal classes.\n\nDarvis Luis sells second-hand books and posters to tourists.

He wasn't. We move on.\" The minister sounded rather cheerful.\n\nSo, Sir Ivan Rogers had gone because his face didn't fit. Now the way was clear for a true believer in the opportunities opened up by the vote to leave the EU.\n\nIf only winning a good deal for Britain in its divorce from the European Union, and eventually on the terms of trade for the UK outside the EU, was half so simple.\n\nBut the resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers has revealed more than the difficulty and complexity of Britain's EU divorce. It has highlighted wider strains in Whitehall between some mandarins and some ministers, up to and including Theresa May.\n\nMandarins and ambassadors perennially advise more junior mandarins on the importance of speaking truth to power. On this occasion, Sir Ivan's leaked farewell memo can fairly be read as a protest and a warning. Concern is growing among some high-ranking officials that ministers don't understand or won't admit the scale of the task they're facing.\n\nThat concern broke surface last week, when the head of the top civil servants' trade union, the FDA, suggested ministers lacked the courage to own up to the difficulties of Brexit for fear of displaying political weakness.\n\nDave Penman's particular worry, as the nearest thing mandarins have to a shop steward, was that ministers might leave the government machine unable to cope adequately with the day-to-day business of government.\n\nOf course, trade unions tend to demand more resources on behalf of their members. It's their job.\n\nBut it was an unusually political contribution from an organisation which represents the most exalted, and rigidly non-political, beings in Whitehall.\n\nBy extension, if the complaint is justified, refusing to recognise the scale and complexities of Brexit might jeopardise the success of the mission itself.\n\nTheresa May has promised to give a major speech on Brexit\n\nThe mere suggestion that senior officials might lack commitment to the task of making Brexit work as a result of political prejudice makes officials bristle. They insist they don't take sides - they take orders and try to make them work.\n\nFor their part, Brexit enthusiasts insist Britain's future outside the EU is assured, if only all concerned would recognise the strength of the UK's position as a strategic and trading power.\n\nTheir conviction is strengthened by a sense that the scepticism they detect in Whitehall and elsewhere is not merely faint-hearted or unpatriotic but also undermining to the prospects of eventual success.\n\nNo-one can say Brexit is coming off the rails. It hasn't even started.\n\nBut as if preparing to face 27 other European states, the European Parliament and the European Commission wasn't daunting enough a task to begin with, confidence in Whitehall and Westminster about the negotiations and life after Brexit is being undermined by tension between the people who run the government machine and their new political masters - and by old rivalries between Remainers and Brexiteers, even though that civil war was fought, and lost and won half a year ago.\n\nIn Downing Street the driving motivation is not ideological passion. Theresa May stood on the Remain side in the June referendum, admittedly with no great display of enthusiasm. Her prime concern now is making the plan work.\n\nThe prime minister is a pragmatist. The trouble with that, just now, is there's no clear sense of what the plan is.\n\nWe are promised a major speech by the prime minister in coming weeks, giving more detail of the plan for Brexit.\n\nWho knows? It may even relieve some of the steady pressure on her and her ministers for more clarity.\n\nGiven the fact Mrs May and her team above all want to keep their cards closed, and their options open, I'll believe it when I see it.", "The Veganuary campaign, encouraging people to try a vegan diet for the month most commonly associated with resolution and change, is under way, with a record 50,000 people signed up.\n\nBut can forgoing meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey for 31 days do any good?\n\nThe adverts are on display, supporters on board and partner restaurants are promoting their meat and dairy-free dishes.\n\nCampaign organisers say following a vegan diet, even for such a short spell, can bring benefits.\n\nIt promotes the animal rights argument - that sentient animals should not be eaten or used in food production. And environmental grounds - warning about the pollution caused by raising animals and as a by-product of agriculture.\n\nBut it also says a balanced vegan diet can provide the nutrition people need in concord with health benefits - catchy at a time of year when people look to make up for festive excesses.\n\nVeganuary spokeswoman Clea Grady told the BBC she feels \"brilliant - better than I ever have\" as a result of trying, and staying with, a vegan diet.\n\nThe charity says the change can lessen obesity, cut blood pressure, and lower the levels of type 2 diabetes.\n\n\"More than 75 per cent of people who have tried going vegan for a month report an improvement in their health.\n\n\"They said they slept better and they lost an average of 6lbs as a result of their changed diet,\" the Veganuary website says.\n\nThere is a lot to be said for \"strict dietary changes\" says Lucy Jones, consultant dietician and spokeswoman for the BDA, the Association of UK Dieticians.\n\n\"If people follow a restricted diet, they think about what they're eating - you can no longer pop into the office and eat a biscuit or a cake.\"\n\nThey tend to \"plan their meals in advance, prepare and cook from scratch\".\n\n\"It is certainly possible to have an awful diet. But, as a vegan, you tend to have more plant proteins, beans and pulses and more fruit and vegetables,\" she says.\n\n\"We have to be cautious about what you can achieve. But having a month where you are eating more fruit, vegetables and nuts can't be a bad thing.\"\n\nProponents say it's a time for change\n\nVeganuary can lead to changed eating habits throughout the year.\n\nWill all those greens and pulses have an impact on pounds and pressures?\n\n\"The impact on blood sugars is fairly immediate, cholesterol takes a few weeks and blood pressure takes longer, and comes with the weight loss,\" says Lucy.\n\nAll burgers, and all dinners, are not created equal\n\nThere's a bias in play after years of being told meat, eggs and animal fats are bad for us, she says.\n\n\"There is a world of difference between hamburgers and hot dogs, fried eggs and pasteurised milk, versus grass-fed organic meat, pastured poultry, poached organic eggs and raw, or at least organic, dairy,\" she says, touching on the continuing debate about the benefit of organic foods.\n\n\"Vegan is a plant-based diet with high vegetables but also large amounts of cereal grains (both refined and unrefined) and legumes, both of which are low in bio-available nutrients and high in anti-nutrients such as phytate.\n\n\"On the other hand wholefood animal produce such as organic meats, fish and shellfish and eggs are among the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat,\" she explains.\n\nVegans can run low on minerals and vitamins like B12, iron, zinc, D and calcium - in fact the Veganuary website points towards supplementing B12 to ensure it's covered.\n\nAnd, whereas some studies show vegans and vegetarians living longer, she says, they often include people who pursue other healthy lifestyle traits, like exercise and not drinking alcohol, comparing them with the junk food-lovers.\n\nIn January, both experts observe that anyone going from Christmas excess to a vegan diet plus exercise will feel different.\n\nBut Kahler warns they can become nutrient-deficient down the line.\n\n\"People use the words 'balance' and 'in moderation' as a cover to incorporate whatever they want in their diet. Moderation isn't the key to health,\" she says.\n\n\"Setting boundaries is the key along with an understanding that there are certain 'foods' - like fizzy drinks and doughnuts - that we consume which simply should not be labelled with the word 'food'\".\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "In 1977, Johanna van Haarlem finally tracked down the son, Erwin, she had abandoned as a baby 33 years earlier. She immediately travelled to London to meet him. What followed, writes Jeff Maysh, is an unbelievable story of deception and heartbreak.\n\nIt was a cold Saturday morning in April 1988 when a van full of detectives arrived outside the North London home of Erwin van Haarlem. The self-employed art dealer, 44, lived alone in sleepy Friern Barnet, a smattering of brick homes beside the grim North Circular ring road.\n\nThe Dutchman's apartment building on Silver Birch Close had become the centre of an investigation led by the British intelligence agency MI5. It suspected that Van Haarlem - whom neighbours described as an \"oddball\" - was not in the art business at all, but a sinister foreign agent.\n\nInside, Van Haarlem was hunched over a radio in his kitchen. He was still wearing his pyjamas, but his hair was parted neatly to one side. He was tuned in, as he was every morning, to a mysterious \"number station\". In his earpiece, a female voice recited numbers in Czech, followed by the blip-bleep of Morse code.\n\nAt 09:15 detectives from Special Branch, the anti-terror unit of London's Metropolitan Police, crashed into his apartment. Van Haarlem tried to lower his radio's antenna. It jammed. When he pulled open a drawer and grabbed a kitchen knife, an officer tackled him, and yelled: \"Enough! It is over! It is over!\"\n\nHidden among his easels and paintings, detectives discovered tiny codebooks concealed in a bar of soap, strange chemicals, and car magazines later found to contain messages written in invisible ink. Investigators suspected Van Haarlem was not really from the Netherlands, but was a spy for the UK's Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union.\n\nUnder a bright spotlight at a police station in Central London, Van Haarlem protested his innocence. Then, 10 days later, things turned really strange: a visitor arrived claiming to be the prisoner's mother. Johanna van Haarlem was a Dutch woman in her early sixties, who peered at detectives from behind huge glasses. Her son was no spy, she insisted, but an honest Dutchman - the child she had abandoned in 1944 and rediscovered 11 years earlier. The baffled detectives allowed her to visit their suspect.\n\n\"Tell me, I'm hearing all these strange stories,\" she said. \"You're not really a spy, are you?\"\n\n\"We have a saying that where you see the smoke, there will be a fire,\" Van Haarlem told her. \"But this time it is not true. Too much of the smoke and no fire. I did absolutely nothing that could harm England.\"\n\nJohanna sighed with relief. \"But why? Why all of this, then?\" she said.\n\n\"Don't ask me. Ask them.\"\n\nAnd then he noticed a tiny red spot on her forearm. The DNA blood test results from the Home Office laboratory indicated, with near certainty, that they were not related. Johanna van Haarlem broke down in tears as her world collapsed.\n\nJohanna van Haarlem was 52 on her first visit to London to meet Erwin\n\nOn 6 February 1989, at London's Old Bailey, prosecutor Roy Amlot told a jury that the defendant had stolen her son's identity.\n\n\"You may think that if he knew all along, it was a cruel thing to do to her,\" he said.\n\nThe trial captivated the press. The Daily Express described Van Haarlem as \"an old-fashioned... slick-suited spy who inhabited a world of dead letterboxes and secret codes\". Exotic beauties came forward to kiss-and-tell about their love affairs with the spy. But the most wounded victim stood in the witness box, the tragic Dutchwoman, Johanna van Haarlem.\n\nOn 4 March 1989, at 11:45, the judge sentenced Erwin van Haarlem to 10 years in prison for espionage. \"He is probably the first person to be tried at the Old Bailey under an alias,\" one senior Scotland Yard officer told a reporter. The \"spy with no name\", as the newspapermen called him, would take his secrets with him to his cell.\n\nAfter months of negotiation and false starts, I met Erwin van Haarlem on a spring day in Prague, in 2016. Although he had lived quietly as a free man for the past 23 years, spies famously do not talk. Introduced to me by the Czech crime journalist, Jaroslav Kmenta, Van Haarlem arrived at a restaurant near the city's Old Town Square, wearing a smart blue blazer. After carefully checking my identification he began, in accented English, to tell me his story.\n\nIt began on 23 August 1944, when he was born Vaclav Jelinek in Modrany, a small village near Prague. His father had owned a small bakery there, selling biscuits and ice creams, until the Communists took power. Young Jelinek enlisted in mandatory military service, and, as the Cold War intensified, he graduated to a position in the Czechoslovak Ministry of the Interior. He dreamed of military valour and excitement. But what he got was mind-numbing shifts and grunt work.\n\nOne day his superiors caught him studying German vocabulary instead of guarding a checkpoint in the snow. They marched him to an upstairs office where he expected disciplinary action. Instead he was introduced to two members of Statni bezpecnost - the Czechoslovak secret State police. The StB was a shadowy spy agency that reported directly to the Soviets.\n\nThe StB agents had studied his file and learned that Jelinek was defiant, a womaniser, highly intelligent, prone to violence, patriotic, and a risk-taker. In other words, perfect spy material. After careful training, they decided he was ready to begin an undercover mission abroad, spying on the West.\n\nThe StB searched through its files of missing persons and assigned Jelinek a false identity - that of a Dutch boy, abandoned at an orphanage in Holesovice, Prague, at the end of World War Two. The child had been born just one day before Jelinek.\n\n\"Your new name,\" they told him, \"is Erwin van Haarlem.\"\n\nHe applied for a Dutch passport, and arrived in London by train in June 1975. To the boy from Prague, it was an alien city swarming with traffic, fashion, and danger. He took a job at the 24th-floor Roof restaurant at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair, hoping to spy on the Royals down the road at Buckingham Palace.\n\nAt night, he exchanged coded messages with his home country via radio. One of his first ideas was to try planting listening devices in the Queen's furniture, he recalls, though he and his bosses realised it was technically unrealistic.\n\nHis secret career was running smoothly until late 1977, when he received a disturbing message from Prague: \"YOUR MOTHER IS TRYING TO FIND YOU IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA WITH THE HELP OF THE RED CROSS. SHOULD THE RED CROSS FIND YOU, A MEETING IS TO BE AGREED WITH.\"\n\nHe read the message over and over again. In October of that year, Van Haarlem received a handwritten letter from Johanna van Haarlem. The Dutch embassy had given her his address, she wrote. She was thrilled to find him. As he had been ordered, the spy politely replied in November, enclosing some photographs. He began the letter: \"Dear mother\". When he sent a cordial invitation to visit him in London, she left immediately.\n\nJohanna woke up early on 1 January 1978, in a West London hotel. Her stomach was knotted with nerves. She stepped on to the street littered with the detritus of New Year's Eve. It was her plan to arrive early and check out her son's address. But on the opposite side of the street a familiar-looking young man walked past.\n\n\"Are you Mrs van Haarlem?\" the spy said, stopping in his tracks.\n\n\"Hello Mother, it's your son.\"\n\nThey embraced in the middle of the street. Johanna stepped back to look at him. Tears were rolling down her face.\n\n\"Your father did not have such dark hair,\" said Johanna, studying him. Then she commented that he was shorter than his father.\n\nInside his apartment a champagne cork popped as Johanna breathlessly told him her life story. The bottle had frozen in the refrigerator but Van Haarlem managed to pour a couple of glasses.\n\nShe had grown up in The Hague, in Holland, and was an 18-year-old virgin when she met his father on a train, in November 1943. Gregor Kulig was a Nazi. He was blue-eyed, 23, and Polish. Handsome. At a party four weeks later, she said, he raped her.\n\nAnd when her father discovered she was pregnant, he exploded. \"You are a sinner!\" he told her. He ordered her to take the child to a distant town and give him away.\n\nFull of sadness and desperation, in autumn 1944 Johanna travelled to Czechoslovakia by train. After a brief effort to survive there as a single mother, she walked into an orphanage in Holesovice, Prague. Sobbing, she kissed baby Erwin goodbye, and returned to Holland alone.\n\nHer father - a Jew who had joined the National Socialist Movement to protect his family - destroyed the adoption papers and banned her from ever speaking about her son.\n\nOver the years, dozens of letters arrived from the orphanage asking Johanna to take back her child. They went unanswered. But every year on his birthday, Johanna silently remembered her missing son, his name she could not even speak: Erwin van Haarlem.\n\nNow she had found him. As they finished their champagne, he took her hand in his.\n\n\"You have to believe it,\" he told her. \"I am your son.\"\n\nShortly after their emotional \"reunion\", Johanna invited Erwin to meet the Van Haarlem family in Holland. When the spy arrived at her bungalow in early 1978, one-by-one he shook hands with the whole family. They studied him like a specimen in a zoo. Johanna's niece approached Van Haarlem, and seemed to scan him from head to toe. Did she know?\n\n\"He has the nice Van Haarlem legs,\" she told the crowd, approvingly.\n\nBack in London, having a Dutch, Jewish mother only improved Van Haarlem's cover. His main task, the spy told me, was to gather information about Refuseniks, the Jews held in the Soviet Union despite their requests to emigrate, who had become political pawns in Cold War peace talks. He also gained prize information about underwater sonar chains, which alerted Nato to Soviet submarine movements.\n\nBritish defence journalist Kim Sengupta later described Van Haarlem in this era as \"a brilliantly successful deep penetration agent\", who, over the years, visited the Polaris submarine base at the British Admiralty's Underwater Research Unit, as well as \"a string of sensitive military installations\".\n\nFor these fantastic intelligence scores, Van Haarlem received a medal from the Soviet Union at a private party held in his honour in Prague.\n\n\"He moved a lot,\" Johanna later told a Dutch radio station. \"From that small apartment I visited the first time to bigger, fancier places… I had no idea why he moved so much. He was doing better and better, you could tell by his clothes, shoes and houses that he was going in the right direction.\"\n\nErwin showered Johanna with presents including a Wedgwood vase, a gold and sapphire ring, and a gold coin. But at heart he was tiring of this relationship with his \"fake\" mother. In his mind she was a Nazi, a fascist, and a collaborator with foreign soldiers. He recalls travelling to Holland to introduce a girlfriend to Johanna - keeping up appearances.\n\nInside the Dutch restaurant, folk music played and locals danced. Johanna got carried away, he said. A local man whirled her around the dance floor, and suddenly the spy saw her as a young girl, dancing with the Nazi soldiers.\n\nA blind rage swept over him like a fire. \"She is at that again,\" he thought. \"She never changes. She is 60!\" One of the men held Johanna close, and gave a friend a suggestive wink. It nearly tipped van Haarlem over the edge.\n\nSome time later, back in London, Van Haarlem's telephone shrieked. The blissful silence in his apartment was shattered. He sat up in bed and checked the time. It was 03:00.\n\n\"Dear son, I could not help it, I had to hear your voice.\" Johanna was slurring. Van Haarlem guessed she had been drinking. \"I will sell my house and come to London,\" she said. \"We will live together.\"\n\n\"I absolutely understand why you are so upset, Mum,\" he said. \"Of course it would be wonderful to live together, especially since our fate prevented us doing so in the past. Mum, you know what? Let's go to bed now and think about it overnight. I will call you tomorrow.\"\n\nHe slammed down the phone but could not drift back to sleep. He was growing increasingly concerned about her behaviour. He simply couldn't afford her to be a liability. His life depended on it. But there was little he could do - he was stuck with her.\n\nOn her next visit, mother and son were driving through Golders Green in North London when Van Haarlem forgot to give the right of way to another car. The other driver slammed on his brakes to avoid a crash.\n\n\"Sorry, friend!\" said Erwin pleasantly, with a wave of his hand.\n\nJohanna snapped. \"Why are you apologising?\" she shouted. \"You are so yielding, so soft! A typical Slav!\"\n\nVan Haarlem was shocked. \"He had the right of way,\" he said.\n\n\"Right of way! Right of way!\" she parroted.\n\nGripping the wheel, the spy fumed. \"You'll pay with interest for that,\" he thought. But he would never get the chance.\n\nOne afternoon in autumn 1986 Van Haarlem noticed two cars driving closely behind him, pulling manoeuvres he recognised from his spy training.\n\n\"They must be tailing someone,\" he thought. Then the penny dropped: \"They are tailing you! You stupid ass!\"\n\nHe had by now quit his job at the Hilton - after rising from a lowly waiter to assistant purchase manager. He had set up himself up as a freelance artist and art dealer, and paid cash for the unassuming flat in Friern Barnet.\n\nIt should have been the last place anyone would look for a foreign spy, but it soon became a hotbed of chicanery. There was the technician who came to \"fix\" his telephone, the new postmen, and the dedicated window cleaners who washed his windows not weekly, but seemingly daily.\n\nVan Haarlem was not the only one who noticed peculiar goings-on.\n\nMrs Saint, 61, who co-ordinated the local Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, said she telephoned the police in November 1987 to report strange noises and a \"Morse code\" interference which affected her television reception every night at 21:20.\n\nSoon afterwards, in April 1988, that mysterious van parked outside Van Haarlem's apartment.\n\nJohanna van Haarlem heard about the arrest on BBC radio. Then investigators arrived at her home and asked her to testify against the spy at his trial.\n\n\"When we finally made eye contact I felt hurt. I didn't see any sign of remorse, not a wink, no warmth, nothing,\" she said of the trial. A part of her was in denial, continuing to look in vain for a son's affection. \"He showed me coldness,\" she said, \"and looked at me like this was the end.\"\n\nVan Haarlem was sent to Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight. After five years, the end of the Cold War, and a hunger strike, he was released and deported to what had by then become the Czech Republic.\n\nI asked if he ever felt any compassion for Johanna.\n\n\"I had no pity whatsoever,\" he said.\n\n\"She was rather dominant and I had to put up with her. Sometimes I had enough of her,\" he added, describing many real mother-son relationships.\n\nDuring the five years he spent in a prison cell, he went on, one thing about his case remained a puzzle. It was a statement that Johanna made about how she found him. \"Without being asked,\" he told me, \"she said only on her own, from her own will, she started the whole action, trying to find me.\"\n\nFrom her own will. It was a funny thing to say, he thought.\n\nWas it a coincidence that Johanna's motherly instincts awakened just months after his application for a Dutch passport? Who else might have inspired her to track down her son, and why? We may never know, as Johanna van Haarlem died in 2004. However, the spy has his own theory.\n\n\"We thought she was under the guidance of MI5 or the Dutch security service,\" he said.\n\nCould Johanna also have been a spy? Though it seems unlikely, in this world of disguise and deception, anything is possible.\n\nAdapted from The Spy With No Name by @JeffMaysh (Amazon Kindle Singles), published today.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Sting's campaign for his Desert Rose single relied heavily on \"sync licensing\"\n\nIt seems quaint to recall that bands used to be accused of \"selling out\" if a TV programme or commercial used their music.\n\nNowadays, rock and pop artists of all kinds have become reconciled to that particular way of doing what the Clash used to call \"turning rebellion into money\".\n\nSo when did it all change? Well, one of the big turning points came when Sting not only allowed a carmaker to use one of his songs in an advert, but even appeared in it too.\n\nIn the year 2000, Sting was having trouble selling his Brand New Day album, while radio stations were shunning its second single Desert Rose, a duet with Algerian rai music artist Cheb Mami.\n\nThen, in a landmark for what is now known as \"sync licensing\", the singer and his manager, Miles Copeland, had a brainwave.\n\nThe video for the song showed Sting travelling in a brand new Jaguar S-Type car. So why not approach Jaguar's advertising agency and offer them the chance to make a commercial based on the video?\n\nThe Jaguar S-Type was in production from 1999 to 2009\n\n\"He was actually in the commercial,\" says Matt Bristow, who is business affairs manager at independent UK record label Cherry Red. \"If you had gone back to Sting in the 80s and said, 'Would you fancy being in a car commercial?', he would probably have said no.\"\n\nAfter that, the single reached the top 20 in 10 countries, including the UK and the US. And since then, sync deals placing music tracks in TV commercials, TV series, films and even video games have become steadily more important as a revenue earner for the music industry.\n\nWith record companies unable to sell physical copies of their releases in the same quantities that they used to, they have sought other sources of revenue, and sync licensing is now one of the key ones.\n\nAs a result, previously obscure job categories have come to the fore as the industry rebalances to reflect this. The 21st Century has seen the rise of music supervisors, people who oversee the process of finding the right song for a scene and making sure the right people get paid for it.\n\nThese are the gatekeepers who decide which tunes you will be hearing in that latest hit TV show, the essential liaison between the creative types who make the programme and the business people who control ownership of the music.\n\nCherry Red, like other record companies, fosters relationships with music supervisors and does whatever it can to make them aware of the music it has to offer.\n\nThe Netflix series Stranger Things features one of Cherry Red's tracks\n\n\"If you go back a decade or more, I think certainly the bigger artists were not very receptive to these kinds of licences,\" says Mr Bristow. \"When a thriving physical market was still with us, there was a view that you were selling out if you did that.\n\n\"But that's changed. There's more awareness of the importance of maximising your income.\n\n\"The door has definitely been opened. Artists at all levels are more receptive to doing these kinds of deals than in the past.\"\n\nCherry Red's most notable success in sync licensing to date has been placing a song on the soundtrack on the hit Netflix show Stranger Things, which successfully applied to use the track Green Desert by German electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream.\n\n\"The approach came from Nora Felder, who is well known in the music sync world as a passionate music supervisor,\" says Mr Bristow.\n\n\"We didn't haggle over the fee,\" he adds. \"Obviously I can't tell you what it was, but it was comfortably in the ballpark of what that sort of deal would be.\"\n\nIn this case, approval was required from the recording artists. Since Tangerine Dream's frontman Edgar Froese died in 2015, his widow Bianca was the one who gave it the green light.\n\nBut the deal was not sealed until the final cut of the scene using the music had been signed off by the show's creators, at which point Cherry Red was able to invoice them for the money.\n\nTangerine Dream's Edgar Froese died in 2015 at the age of 70\n\n\"That's really great for us, it's like having a calling card when we go and see other music supervisors,\" says Mr Bristow. \"When we say we've got a track on Stranger Things, they immediately know what we're talking about.\"\n\nWhen music supervisors are seeking to obtain permission to use a track, they need to clear two different sets of rights: the rights to use the actual recorded piece of music, known as the \"master rights\", and the rights to use the written composition, or the \"publishing rights\".\n\n\"It's very attractive in the sync world when you control both rights and they can just clear with you,\" says Mr Bristow. \"It's a one-stop shop when you control both rights.\"\n\nWhen Cherry Red signs a new artist these days, the label is seeking to acquire both master and publishing rights.\n\nHowever, music publishers and record companies have different priorities and it can be hard for one firm to give equal weight to both.\n\nAs a result, musicians have traditionally been reluctant to put all their eggs in one basket, so that's another way in which the industry is having to change.\n\n\"It's an old adage that you don't put your masters and publishing in the same place. It's historically the unwritten rule in the artists' community,\" says Mr Bristow.\n\nAt present, Cherry Red controls the master rights of about 50,000 tracks and the publishing rights of about 16,000. The major labels - Universal, Sony and Warner - own far more tracks, especially the well-known big hits that are sought after by advertising agencies.\n\nBut as an indie label, Mr Bristow says, Cherry Red can be \"flexible on price\" and sometimes benefits when the song that the ad agency wanted to use turns out to be too expensive.\n\n\"When the music supervisor has been given a big-name track and they just can't clear it for the budget, they're looking for something that sounds similar,\" he says.\n\nMr Bristow says the amount of money coming in from sync licensing is set to grow. \"It's still pretty small overall, but it's increasing, the opportunities are increasing.\n\n\"The more depth and breadth in catalogue you have, the more opportunities there are in the sync world.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

His role was to gather insight into leaders around the world, analysing \"what made them tick,\" he tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\n\"When a crisis hits, policy makers come to us with the questions about who these people are, what they want, why are they doing this.\"\n\nHe had been in Iraq when the ousted leader was discovered by US troops in a small, underground hole next to farm buildings near his hometown of Tikrit.\n\nWhen the news of Hussein's discovery came through, the US needed him to be identified - a task presented to Mr Nixon.\n\nThere had been rumours at the time that Saddam Hussein had numerous body doubles, but Mr Nixon - who left the CIA in 2011 - says \"there was no doubt in my mind as soon as I saw him, that it was him\".\n\nThe \"spider hole\" where Saddam Hussein was hiding when he was captured\n\n\"When I started talking to him, he gave me the same look he had on a book that had sat on my desk for years. Surreal doesn't come close.\"\n\nMr Nixon took on the role of interrogator and was the first person to question Saddam Hussein at length, doing so across a number of days.\n\n\"I had to keep pinching myself that I was questioning the most wanted man in the world. It seemed ludicrous,\" he says.\n\nMr Nixon, author of Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein, describes the former leader as a \"mass of contradictions\".\n\nHe saw \"the human side\" of Saddam Hussein, he says, in great contrast to the depiction presented by US media.\n\n\"He was one of the most charismatic individuals I've ever encountered. When he wanted to be he could be charming, nice, funny and polite.\"\n\nBut he could also switch to a much darker side. Mr Nixon describes him as rude, arrogant, nasty and mean-spirited - and scary when he lost his temper.\n\n\"There were two or three occasions when my questioning got on his bad side,\" Mr Nixon says.\n\nHussein had been unrestrained as he sat in the small, dingy room in which he was interrogated, sitting on a metal, foldable chair.\n\nOnly Mr Nixon, a polygrapher and an interpreter were also present in the room.\n\nNevertheless, Mr Nixon says the former leader - as a narcissist - \"liked the interaction he got by talking to me\".\n\nAt the end of the first session, in which Mr Nixon tried to establish a rapport with Saddam Hussein in the hope he would cooperate, Saddam said he had enjoyed the conversation.\n\n\"He had been in hiding for months and hadn't had many conversations,\" Mr Nixon says.\n\nIt was a positive start, but the next day Mr Nixon says Saddam Hussein \"came back more suspicious\".\n\n\"He is one of the most suspicious men I've ever met - every question I asked him he had one for me.\"\n\nMr Nixon admits the CIA had little to offer Hussein in the way of an incentive to speak.\n\n\"We had to appeal to sense of history and the prospect of him getting his views heard on record, and by the highest of powers in the world.\"\n\nIn 2006, Saddam Hussein was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging\n\nThere were certain subject areas he was required to cover by the CIA, but otherwise he was left to his own devices.\n\n\"I knew I had to try and get answers.\n\n\"Working for the agency, you are taught how to debrief sources and make them into potential assets.\n\n\"But you have to be very careful as you don't want to risk not being able to extract the most information possible by going at a topic in the wrong way.\"\n\nThe most important subject area was that of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).\n\nThe US and UK had used allegations of Iraqi WMDs as a key reason for going to war.\n\nMr Nixon says \"it was all the White House wanted to know\", but - from his conversations with Saddam Hussein, his advisers and subsequent research to verify or dismiss his claims - he came to the conclusion that the former Iraqi leader had stopped the country's nuclear weapons program years before and had not intended to restart it.\n\nIt was a view that led him and his colleagues to be seen as \"failures\".\n\nHe was not invited to debrief President George W Bush until five years later, in 2008, following separate findings on Saddam Hussein from the FBI.\n\nMr Nixon is particularly scathing of President Bush, saying - as one of few people that have shaken the hands of both him and Saddam Hussein - he would rather spend time with the latter.\n\nPresident Bush, he says, was \"isolated from reality\", with advisers that would \"rally around him regardless and nod in agreement\".\n\n\"I used to think what we said at the CIA mattered and the president would listen, but it doesn't matter what we say, politics trumps intelligence.\"\n\nMr Nixon says he is \"ashamed\" of what has happened in Iraq since the ousting of Saddam Hussein.\n\nHe says the Bush administration gave no thought as to what events might take place after Saddam's removal, and - in light of the rise of extremist groups such as the so-called \"Islamic State\" - believes the region would have been better off had he remained in place.\n\nSuch claims have been dismissed by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who led the country at the time of the invasion.\n\nThe BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.\n• None Blair: World better because of Iraq War", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nWest Ham played for 75 minutes with 10 men after Sofiane Feghouli was dismissed for this challenge on Phil Jones West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli has had the red card shown to him during Monday's defeat by Manchester United rescinded by the Football Association.

This is despite median wages having fallen, according to the Office for National Statistics.\n\nFor more stories from the BBC England Data Unit follow our Pinterest board.\n\nSomeone travelling from Runcorn to Liverpool would pay £1,532 for their annual pass, £28 more than in 2016.\n\nIn Liverpool the average full-time wage, after tax and National Insurance deductions, fell from £21,901 in 2015 to £21,634 in 2016.\n\nThe most expensive annual season ticket per mile travelled is Harlow Town to London Liverpool Street.\n\nA commuter pays £3,496, which is £64 more than in 2016. It works out at 39p per mile travelled.\n\nThe figures are based on a Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) list of the most commonly used commuter services in six major cities. Our analysis of the figures was based on full-time workers using an annual season ticket five days a week, except on bank holidays or on 25 days of annual leave.\n\nLianna Etkind, public transport campaigner at the CBT, said: \"Wages remain stagnant and trains continue to be hopelessly overcrowded, so commuters are rightly angry at annual fare rises when they see little or no improvement in the service they receive.\n\n\"Many commuters are now being charged at a similar level to a premium rate phone number for their season tickets and are left feeling equally as fleeced.\n\n\"It's high time the government introduced a fairer ticketing system that actively encouraged rail travel, not penalised people for choosing to take the train.\"\n\nAccording to the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators, about 97p in every pound paid by passengers goes back into running and improving services.\n\nRDG chief executive Paul Plummer said: \"Money from fares is helping to sustain investment in the longer, newer trains and more punctual journeys that passengers want.\"\n\nThe Department for Transport said it had saved commuters money by capping season ticket increases so they are in line with inflation.\n\nTransport Secretary Chris Grayling said: \"Thanks to action by the government on train ticket prices, wages are growing faster than regulated fares.\"\n\nNorthern Rail, which runs commuter services into Manchester, confirmed it had not increased annual season ticket fares but said other prices had risen.\n\nIt declined to comment further.", "Original editions of Mein Kampf: It urged Germans to avenge their defeat in World War One\n\n\"Mein Kampf becomes German best-seller\" reads one international headline. \"Hitler's Mein Kampf a hit in Germany\" reads another.\n\nThe fact that the Nazi manifesto reached number one in Der Spiegel's non-fiction charts in April is cited as evidence that Adolf Hitler's propaganda is making a comeback in Germany.\n\nBut the term \"best-seller\" does not necessarily mean very much. A quarter of all books sold in Germany are bought in the run-up to Christmas. At other times of the year it is possible to top listings with relatively few sales.\n\nMein Kampf (My Struggle) is an expensive academic text, costing €58 (£49; $60), and is being bought by libraries, schools and history academics.\n\n\"This was a very special case. You can't really compare it with other books,\" Thomas Koch from the German Publishers' and Booksellers' Association told me.\n\n\"It's the first time that an annotated version has been published. So I can imagine that was why figures were relatively high.\"\n\nThe plain IfZ edition of Mein Kampf: Publication has not been contested in court\n\nMost of the book's sales were made in the first quarter of 2016, before tailing off after April. This suggests that the initial run, when the book was republished in German for the first time, was followed by market saturation.\n\nFor a German non-fiction book, sales of 85,000 are not bad. But the figures don't indicate a runaway hit.\n\nThe current biggest non-fiction seller is The Hidden Life of Trees, a book about the ecosystem of woodland, which has sold half a million copies so far.\n\nThe major hit of the last few years is a witty explanation of how the human bowel functions, by a medical student in her 20s, that sold over a million.\n\nThe top-selling non-fiction book of the past decade, by comedian Hape Kerkeling, sold five million copies. Mein Kampf on the other hand is ranked 79th for non-fiction sales on the German Amazon site, narrowly beaten by a handbook on web coding, and a long way behind a handbook explaining how to get more Twitter followers.\n\nNevertheless it is understandable that the publishers might be overwhelmed. IfZ, which printed the book, is a non-profit research institute, not a publishing house, and had expected lower sales of what is a dense academic text.\n\nProf Wirsching says publication of Mein Kampf with scholarly notes did not help neo-Nazis\n\nAnd the institute believes this edition of Mein Kampf is helping to demystify, rather than empower, Hitler's legacy.\n\n\"It turned out that the fear the publication would promote Hitler's ideology, or even make it socially acceptable and give neo-Nazis a new propaganda platform, was totally unfounded,\" said IfZ director Andreas Wirsching.\n\n\"On the contrary, the debate about Hitler's world view and his approach to propaganda offered a chance to look at the causes and consequences of totalitarian ideologies.\"\n• None History Extra: When Poland was torn to pieces The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The hashtag #BackToWork is trending on Twitter as those returning to their jobs after the festive break share their sorrow that the fun is over and normal service is forced to resume.\n\nThe sudden withdrawal from lie ins, naps and all-day snacking has hit some people - and even their pets - quite hard.\n\nAnd this morning's rude awakening has proved as alarming as the need to remain conscious for the duration of a 09:00 to 17:00 shift.\n\nThe uncomfortable shift from lying horizontal on a sofa to sitting upright at a desk has proved difficult for some - with reports of email amnesia and password mind blocks.\n\nThe drastic change in diet from a constant graze on festive leftovers and tins of chocolates to a one-hour slot to fill up on \"new year, new you\" salads is leaving a bitter taste in many mouths.\n\nEven animals are affected by the back to work blues - Pete the office pooch at the Dogs Trust is reluctant to get out of his bed - or his Christmas jumper.", "A two-week-old baby orangutan has made its public debut at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.\n\nThe Bornean orangutan was born on 20 December and was described as \"significant to the zoo population\" by the Chicago Zoological Society.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nBournemouth are appealing against Simon Francis' red card in the 3-3 draw with Arsenal on Tuesday.\n\nDefender Francis, 31, was dismissed for a challenge on midfielder Aaron Ramsey as the Gunners came from 3-0 down to rescue a point at the Vitality Stadium.\n\nCherries boss Eddie Howe said it was a \"harsh\" decision by referee Michael Oliver to send off Francis, before Olivier Giroud equalised in added time.\n\n\"It was a foul but I don't think it was a sending-off,\" said Howe.\n\nThe club expect to hear the outcome of their appeal by the end of the week.\n\nIf the appeal is unsuccessful, Francis will miss Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie with Millwall as well as Premier League games against Hull City and Watford.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It's like someone put you in the middle of Trafalgar Square, turned you in a circle and said 'find your way home'.\"\n\nThat is Amit Patel's new reality after he lost his sight unexpectedly in 2012, 18 months after he got married.\n\nHe now relies on guide dog Kika to get him around the once familiar streets of London.\n\nBut the footage captured by his canine guide hasn't always shown a city willing to help him.\n\n\"The video came out of necessity,\" Patel says. \"Kika was getting hit by peoples' bags and she was getting a lot of abuse. A woman stopped me one day and had a go at me for holding everyone up and said I should apologise, which was a real shock.\"\n\nThe former doctor found a solution - attach a GoPro to Kika's harness and film every journey. Patel's wife, Seema, can then review the footage if it is felt there was something amiss about that day.\n\nAnd when alterations were made to a London train station the camera came into its own.\n\n\"I asked for help and no one came,\" Patel recounts. \"The video shows lots of staff standing around me and this one guy looking over many times.\n\n\"Eventually when the staff member actually came to me the first thing he said was 'sorry I didn't see you' and that really bugged me. He wouldn't say that to someone who wasn't visually impaired.\n\n\"It really makes me angry. It's the fact that someone is fobbing me off.\"\n\nAn image from Kika's footage of the Network Rail incident in London\n\nThe footage was sent to Network Rail giving Patel the \"valuable evidence\" needed to lodge a formal complaint about an incident he couldn't see.\n\n\"It made me feel vulnerable but having the footage was a godsend,\" he says.\n\n\"Having the camera, having the voice, having the actual scenario played out in real time it actually gives me something to go back to the company and say 'this is what happened to me and it needs to be sorted'.\"\n\nThe video had an impact and Network Rail investigated before giving further training to its staff.\n\nKika's camera captures an image of Amit on the London Underground\n\n\"While in this instance the event and associated disruption was not organised by or held at the station itself, we do recognise that the station can be a complicated place to navigate,\" a spokesman says.\n\n\"That is why we have hired many extra staff to look after passengers.\"\n\nFor newly blind Patel, standing alone for several minutes can feel like hours.\n\n\"One of the things I noticed with losing my sight is how lonely it is. If I'm travelling by public transport I will be the scared little boy sat in the corner. You can't listen to music because you're listening out for dangers or to station announcements.\"\n\nPatel says it is only since he lost his sight that he has become aware of the discrimination visually impaired people can face.\n\nPatel learned he had keratoconus - a condition which changes the shape of the cornea - in the final year of medical school.\n\nLenses to push the corneas back into shape stopped working and six cornea transplants were rejected by his body until he was told \"no more\".\n\nIt was a series of burst blood vessels which caused the unexpected loss of sight within 48 hours.\n\nPatel says: \"I woke up every morning thinking I'd get my sight back. For about six months I was quite shut off, depressed and I would go to the bathroom and have a cry.\n\n\"The one thing that stayed in my mind was that I would never see my loved ones. It was holding on to the last memories I had.\"\n\n\"There are taxi drivers who will see you and won't stop. You phone the company and they say they didn't see you, but you look at the footage and see them having looked at you and driving right past.\"\n\nOther incidents he says highlight a lack of thought - especially on London's Underground.\n\n\"People assume, because I have a guide dog, I can walk around them but they make us walk near the tracks or I can say to Kika 'find me a seat' and I'll put my hand down on one and someone will sit on it and refuse to get up.\"\n\nThe loss of his sight led Patel to change his life dramatically. The former University College Hospital doctor moved to New Eltham in south London so his wife didn't have to travel so far for work and wouldn't spend so much time away from him.\n\nThe view of New Eltham High Street from Kika's camera\n\nPatel says he had assumed, as a doctor, he would know where to get support, but he found that wasn't the case and he became frustrated at the simple mistakes he made - miscalculations led to stair falls and fingers were burnt from trying to find out how full his coffee cup was.\n\nBeyond the major life changes there were more subtle experiences too.\n\n\"Your balance goes awry. I felt like I walked on a cloud sometimes, and if I find a pair of shoes I'll buy three pairs because a change in grip makes a real difference.\n\n\"My hearing's increased and my sense of smell, and the way I touch things.\"\n\nThere have also been more unexpected side effects.\n\nThe camera has given Amit the confidence to go out alone with Kika and his baby son\n\n\"I have small pixels of light coming into my eyes and my brain interprets that as images. It'll put four pixels together and build a photo - so you may be sitting on the couch while thinking a car's coming towards you.\"\n\nPatel now supports people who have lost their sight unexpectedly and gives talks to community organisations using the GoPro footage to demonstrate what Kika sees.\n\nDespite all the challenges he has faced, including coming to terms with never seeing his baby son, Patel has accepted his new world.\n\n\"My life at the moment is so much more vivid, it's more colourful than it was when I had sight.\n\n\"It still fills me with dread leaving the house, because I have no control and am completely reliant on Kika, but we're out all of the time - any excuse.\"\n\nFor more follow on Twitter and Facebook and subscribe to the weekly podcast.\n\nJoin the BBC Stories conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Rowing\n\nThree-time Olympic champion Pete Reed has announced his rowing comeback as he aims for a fourth Olympic gold medal.\n\nReed, 35, returned to his job in the Navy following last summer's Rio Olympics, where he won gold in the men's eight.\n\nBut the Briton, who also won Olympic gold in Beijing and London, now plans to compete at Tokyo 2020, when he will be 39.\n\n\"I felt I had more to give, more to do.

The majority are Karen, one of Myanmar's largest ethnic minorities.\n\nIt is a Wednesday morning, three months after my arrival, and the dusty waiting room is full. Pregnant women wait patiently to be seen by nurses, midwives and medics.\n\nThey will have their bellies examined, their blood pressure monitored and their blood screened.\n\nSince my arrival, women are also offered a depression screen - a series of 10 questions to look for symptoms of depression, which is common in pregnancy.\n\nOur first patient today is 18-year-old Myo Myo. She is nine weeks pregnant. She enters the room, smiling. Lar Paw, a Karen counsellor and midwife I am working with, explains what the interview involves. Myo Myo agrees to take part. We sit down on the bamboo floor and begin.\n\n\"In the past month, have you ever felt sad or down for long periods of time?\" I ask.\n\n\"Sometimes,\" Myo Myo replies. \"We have some family problems. And not enough money.\"\n\nGracia Fellmeth screened many young pregnant women for signs of depression\n\nCalm and composed, she continues her story - a story by now familiar to me. She describes a happy relationship with her husband. Despite his alcohol dependency, he is good to her, she says, and she loves him. They are both happy about the pregnancy. However, there are tensions with her mother-in-law, who disapproves of Myo Myo and rebukes her for not contributing to household expenditure.\n\nI want to know more about her symptoms. She tells us that the episodes of sadness are short-lived, occurring only once or twice a month and lasting an hour or so.\n\n\"Do you ever think about hurting yourself, or about suicide?\" I probe.\n\n\"Sometimes I think about it, if we have been arguing with my mother-in-law,\" she admits. She has never attempted suicide though, and assures us she is not planning to.\n\nA quarter of all women we speak to think about suicide at least occasionally. A smaller proportion - about 3% - have made attempts. We lack the resources to follow up all of these patients, so we focus only on those with pronounced thoughts of suicide or severe symptoms of depression.\n\nMyo Myo has other symptoms, too - low energy and \"thinking too much\" - but they occur only once in a while and do not seem to be out of the ordinary.\n\nWe don't arrange a follow-up but we tell her to come and talk to us any time, if she wants to share her worries with anyone.\n\nTwo days later I am on the bus to Mae La when a colleague asks me: \"Did you hear about the suicide? A young girl. She was pregnant.\"\n\nMy heart pounds. Was it someone I had interviewed? Someone we had been following up? Or worse, someone we hadn't followed up?\n\nLar Paw stands outside the clinic waiting for me.\n\n\"Doctor! We have a suicide. Do you remember this patient?\" She hands me a file. It is Myo Myo's.\n\nI feel shaky. I remember her, and I remember that we had not considered her to be high-risk. Among the hundreds of women we had spoken to, Myo Myo, tragically, had not stood out.\n\n\"Her husband also. They did it together,\" Lar Paw continues softly.\n\nA double suicide? I couldn't think straight. We had seen Myo Myo only two days ago. How could this have happened? Had we given her the idea of taking her own life? Was this all my fault?\n\nLater that day we go to Myo Myo's home to pay our respects. The family sits quietly. The two bodies lie in the middle of the room under a sheet, surrounded by candles. Two cups wrapped in plastic are lined with a fluorescent blue liquid - remnants of the toxic weed-killer that led the couple to their death.\n\nWe sit in silence until Myo Myo's mother-in-law stumbles in, drunk.\n\nMyo Myo's sister-in-law shouts at her. \"This is all your fault,\" she sobs.\n\nLater we find out about an altercation that had taken place earlier in the week between Myo Myo's husband and his mother, during which she had slapped him in the face.\n\nThe death of this young couple left us deeply saddened, but also troubled. Should we have done more to encourage Myo Myo to put aside her thoughts of suicide? Could we have stopped her?\n\nHad it been the impulsive act of an adolescent in response to a family feud? Had a Buddhist belief in rebirth enticed the couple to leave this world and start a new, better, life together?\n\nWe will never know. What we do know is that suicide is too common in Mae La - last year it accounted for half of all deaths among pregnant women and new mothers.\n\nWhat is the explanation? There could be many factors - including chronic uncertainty, hopelessness, boredom, and the legacy of the conflict that led these families to Mae La in the first place.\n\nThe names of the people in this story have been changed\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nEverton winger Yannick Bolasie could be out for a year with a knee injury, says manager Ronald Koeman.\n\nBolasie, 27, injured his right knee during the Toffees' 1-1 draw with Manchester United on 4 December.\n\nManager Koeman said on Wednesday: \"It will be around 11-12 months before he is back.

It is a world first.\n\nAnd just 100km away is the world's biggest solar farm, making power for 150,000 homes on a 10 sq km site.\n\nThe industrial plant appears especially significant as it offers a breakthrough by capturing CO2 without subsidy.\n\nBuilt at a chemical plant in the port city of Tuticorin, it is projected to save 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year by incorporating them into the recipes for soda ash and other chemicals.\n\nThe owner of the chemicals plant, Ramachadran Gopalan, told a BBC Radio 4 documentary: \"I am a businessman. I never thought about saving the planet. I needed a reliable stream of CO2, and this was the best way of getting it.\"\n\nHe says his operation has now almost zero emissions. He hopes soon to install a second coal boiler to make more CO2 to synthesise fertiliser.\n\nThe chemical used in stripping the CO2 from the flue gas was invented by two young Indian chemists. They failed to raise Indian finance to develop it, but their firm, Carbonclean Solutions, working with the Institute of Chemical Technology at Mumbai and Imperial College in London, got backing from the UK's entrepreneur support scheme.\n\nTheir technique uses a form of salt to bond with CO2 molecules in the boiler chimney. The firm says it is more efficient than typical amine compounds used for the purpose.\n\nThe plant is projected to save 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year\n\nThey say it also needs less energy, produces less alkaline waste and allows the use of a cheaper form of steel - all radically reducing the cost of the whole operation.\n\nThe firm admits its technology of Carbon Capture and Utilisation won't cure climate change, but says it may provide a useful contribution by gobbling up perhaps 5-10% of the world's emissions from coal.\n\nLord Oxburgh, former chairman of Shell, and now director and head of the UK government's carbon capture advisory group, told the BBC: \"We have to do everything we can to reduce the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels and it is great news that more ways are being found of turning at least some of the CO2 into useful products.\"\n\nMeanwhile, the nearby giant Kamuthi solar plant offers a marker for India's ambition for a rapid expansion in renewables.\n\nThe world's largest solar farm at Kamuthi in southern India\n\nIt is truly enormous; from the tall observation tower, the ranks of black panels stretch almost to the horizon.\n\nFor large-scale projects, the cost of new solar power in India is now cheaper than coal and Prime Minister Modi plans to power 60 million homes from the sun by 2022.\n\nBut solar doesn't generate 24/7 on an industrial scale, so India has adopted a \"more of everything\" approach to energy until then.\n\nIts recently-published National Electricity Plan projects no further additions to coal-based capacity between 2022 and 2027, and estimates that the share of clean generating capacity (including nuclear) will increase to 56.5% by the end of that period.\n\nThe firm behind the solar plant, Adani, is also looking to create Australia's biggest coal mine, which it says will provide power for up to 100 million people in India.

with televised games between Liverpool and Stoke and Southampton and Tottenham following on 27 and 28 December respectively.\n\nThat greater spread of games resulted in widespread debate amongst Premier League managers over discrepancies in the amount of rest between games for each club.\n\nHours taken to play all three festive matches 26 Dec-4 Jan Hours from start of first game, to end of third\n\nWhat have the managers said?\n\nArsenal manager Wenger was especially critical of this year's festive fixture list, calling it the \"most uneven Christmas period\" he has seen in 20 years.\n\nHe added: \"The difference of rest periods is absolutely unbelievable, compared to the other teams it is unbelievable.\"\n\nWenger was far from alone, with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho claiming, \"it looks like the fixtures are chosen to give rest for some and to create problems to others\".\n\nAll the way back in October, an incredulous Jurgen Klopp looked at Liverpool's festive fixture list and simply asked: \"How do you prepare a team for this?\"\n\nNot all title-chasing managers were fazed by the fixture list though, with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte saying his rivals were \"angry for our position [as leaders] not for the fixtures\".\n\nThe stakes are just as high at the bottom of the table with Sam Allardyce claiming the fixture scheduling contributed to his \"shattered\" Crystal Palace side losing to relegation rivals Swansea on Tuesday.\n\nEven Swansea first-team coach Alan Curtis acknowledged the discrepancy, adding: \"We had 24 hours more rest compared to them and that may have made a difference.\"\n\nReferring to the lucrative television rights deal signed by the Premier League, Wenger said: \"I don't know any more whether the Premier League is the master of the fixtures.\"\n\nWhile TV broadcast selections alter the specific dates of games, the initial fixture list is compiled by international IT services company Atos, on behalf of the Premier League.\n\nThe first step is inputting international dates from world governing body Fifa, then dates of the European club competitions from Uefa, before the Football Association adds in their competitions, leaving the dates on which league and League Cup matches can be played.\n\nThis process is complicated for the 2017-18 season due to an agreement with the FA to finish seasons early in tournament years - in this instance to give the England manager a month with his squad to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.\n\nWhere possible, the Premier League and FA will also try to establish a stand-alone date for the FA Cup final.\n\nThere are then numerous other factors including the distribution of home and away games and travel issues to consider, as well as further discussion and checks before the fixture list is released in mid-June.\n\nThe live TV broadcast selections for December 2017 will not be confirmed until four to six weeks before the start of the month, so managers will have to wait to see how they fare in terms of rest between games.\n\nBut two extra fixtures to fit in are unlikely to be a welcome Christmas gift for most.", "The BBC's Mark Lowen is one of the first journalists to access the site of Istanbul's deadly New Year attack, which left 39 people dead.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nFinding your feet in a new job can be difficult at the best of times, so spare a thought for Republican US congressman Roger Marshall, whose son decided a photo op at his swearing in was the perfect time to do some dabbing.\n\nAs Marshall and family members posed with Paul Ryan, re-elected on Tuesday as House Speaker, the teen, Cal Marshall, can clearly be seen raising his arm into a distinctive dabbing pose.\n\nDabbing -

Take a look at some of them here.\n\nOn a quiet street in the heart of one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, the Nags Head's first customers would have been staff from the mansions on neighbouring streets.\n\n\"The likelihood is that, because of its location, most of the early landlords were connected with horses, carriages and stabling,\" writes Dailey.\n\nThe pub's main bar - with its 150-year-old Chelsea pottery beer engine pump handles - is unusually low, with short stools in front.\n\nThis is because the floor of the bar servery is positioned midway between the main bar and the lower back bar to the rear, which was once possibly a stables or courtyard.\n\nThe Nags Head is also filled with dozens of toys, penny arcade machines, posters and photos - and the current landlord's collection of military memorabilia.\n\nThe Blackfriar - built in 1875 - stands on the site of London's Dominican friary in the parish of Ludgate.\n\nThe Dominicans are known as \"the blackfriars\" because of the black cloaks they wear.\n\nIn the early 20th Century the pub's interior was remodelled by the sculptor Henry Poole, who created a vision straight out of medieval England.\n\nThere is a sumptuous mosaic ceiling, with marble columns and copper clay friezes.\n\nAnd black-cloaked friars can be spotted just about everywhere - all appearing to enjoy sins of overindulgence.\n\nThe interior of the French House looks more like a Parisian backstreet bar, than a traditional London pub - and it remains a favourite of artists, writers, actors and photographers,\n\nGeorge Dailey describes the inside as \"a little tired, faintly bohemian - but with unmistakeable Gallic charm\".\n\nFor most of the 20th Century the pub's official name was The York Minster.\n\nIts metamorphosis into \"The French\" started in 1914, when its German owner sold the business to a Belgian - but \"The French sounds more romantic\", says Dailey.\n\nThe inn on this site was first built in 1520 - on the north bank of the Thames to the east of the City.\n\nIt would have been a timber structure surrounded by gardens and marshland. It was rebuilt in the 18th Century.\n\nRegular visitors included the writers Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys and Samuel Johnson - and the venue was known for its bare-knuckle and cock fights.\n\nIt's thought the pub's strange name derives from the fact that a collier - a ship carrying coal - from Whitby in North Yorkshire used to moor regularly beside the pub.\n\nInitially it was just called The Prospect.\n\nFor people heading to London from the south, Borough High Street in Southwark was a terminus.\n\nThe walled City of London was only a bridge away, but it was closed at night.\n\nLatecomers were forced to take rooms at one of the local inns - including The George.\n\nThe George became a home for political debate and gossip - and Shakespeare's plays were often performed in its courtyard.\n\nAccording to Dailey: \"There is no pub in London that can boast of having a completely untouched 18th Century interior - but The George comes very close.\"\n\nThe current building, which backs on to the shore of the Thames, dates from 1720 - built on the site of a previous pub, which burned down in 1710.\n\nIn 1865, Charles Dickens is thought to have written about The Grapes - or The Bunch of Grapes, as it was then known.\n\nHe describes \"a tavern of dropsical appearance... long settled down into a state of hale infirmity. It had outlasted many a sprucer public house, indeed the whole house impended over the water but seemed to have got into the condition of a faint-hearted diver, who has paused so long on the brink, that he will never go in at all.\"\n\nAlthough rebuilt in the 1920s, there has probably been a pub on the site of The Ship since the mid-16th Century - and in its early incarnation it was known as a haven for persecuted Catholics.\n\nThe pub is now just behind a busy underground station, but initially it would have overlooked a rough area of pasture land - Lincoln's Inn Fields.\n\nThis narrow pub on the Thames is one of the best places to watch the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race - if you can find a space to stand.\n\nAnecdotal evidence suggests the Dove was actually a licensed pub as early as 1730 - when the green fields and orchards of 18th Century Hammersmith offered tranquillity away from the City of London, which was then only a two-hour coach ride away.\n\nWith all the hallmarks of a village inn, The Flask is very close to Highgate Cemetery - the burial place of Karl Marx.\n\nIt also claims to have two ghosts - a Spanish barmaid who took her life when the landlord rejected her amorous advances, and a hapless man dressed as a cavalier who crosses the main bar and disappears into a wall.\n\nThe poets Byron, Shelley, Keats and Coleridge were regular drinkers here. Coleridge believed the clean air on the hill at Highgate was beneficial in his attempts to cure himself of opium addiction.\n\nWhen the building now known as The Lamb and Flag was built, in the mid-17th Century, Covent Garden was a relatively new urban area - a smart and desirable address.\n\nBut a century later, the gentry had moved away and the area had become a red-light district. Records from 1772 show that The Lamb and Flag - or Coopers Arms as it was known then - was trading successfully, but the clientele was drawn from the lower levels of society.\n\nA century later, and the venue was a popular location for unlicensed bare-knuckle fights.\n\nGreat Pubs of London by George Dailey is published by Prestel.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

House prices grew much faster in eastern England and the West Midlands than in London, according to Zoopla.\n\nLondon's annual house price growth for 2016 (3.7%) was below the UK average of 4.5% for the first time since 2008, the Nationwide Building Society says.\n\nSo has the London bubble burst? Are bargains to be had? Well, these things are relative.\n\nOne new development in Radstock Street in Battersea will see eight large apartments go on the market in February for £3.65m each.\n\nFor most people around the UK, that is an eye-watering price for a three-bedroom property. Yet, the developers say these homes will be attractive to downsizers - people aged in their 50s and 60s already owning a home in central London.\n\nThe idea of downsizing to a £3m-plus home might make those eyes water a little more, but Louisa Brodie, head of search at Banda Property, says these apartments are \"realistically priced\".\n\n\"They have car parking, a porter, and are brand new. Properties like this are rare to find, and areas like this have a unique selling point,\" she says. \"London is still one of the most desirable places to live, anywhere.\"\n\nThis is surely a sign that London property has been decoupled from the rest of the country for many years.\n\nDespite the drop in activity in London, the average house price in the capital is still £474,000, more than double the typical price of £217,000 in the UK as a whole, according to the latest official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).\n\nThe slowdown in central London is the result of the most significant change in the housing market in 2016 - a stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes.\n\nSince April, anyone buying a home that is not their main residence has had to pay a 3% stamp duty surcharge. This meant that, for second homes or buy-to-let properties, the rate for properties priced at more than £1.5m reaches 15%.\n\nThe surcharge led to a burst of activity in March followed by a steep drop in transactions in April - a \"hangover\" that still persists, according to Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).\n\nIn Scotland, the equivalent tax - the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) - was also up-rated.\n\nThe new surcharge, alongside a rise in normal stamp duty costs for £1m-plus homes since 2014, had a bigger impact on the market than the Brexit vote in June, according to experts.\n\nRay Boulger, of John Charcol mortgage brokers, says it led to many at the expensive end of the market choosing to extend their homes rather than move. This made it more difficult to create chains lower down the market.\n\nEd Stansfield, chief property economist at Capital Economics, says the housing market recovered \"remarkably quickly\" after cooling immediately after the UK's vote to leave the EU.\n\nHe says a \"degree of nerves\" surrounding the economy and potential buyers' caution over stretching too far financially had kept a lid on house prices.\n\nAnother major factor in the market over the last 12 months, according to the experts, is a lack of homes going on to the market. This supply squeeze has meant that, despite all the other pressures on affordability, prices continued to increase.\n\nThe constraint on supply proved to be more problematic than expected, according to Mr Rubinsohn of Rics, whose prediction of a 6% rise in house prices for 2016 looks to be the most accurate.\n\nThis trend will continue, he says, spelling more difficulties for first-time buyers whose incomes may fall in real terms. Many will continue to rely on the Bank of Mum and Dad for help with raising a mortgage deposit, while others will look to the government's Help to Buy projects to find somewhere affordable.\n\nOthers see first-time buyers as key to the buoyancy of the housing market.\n\n\"First-time buyers still underpin the wider market. So long as the government continues to support them either directly via Help to Buy or by further tax changes then the market should not plunge but this is not completely in the gift of politicians who frankly have more pressing matters to attend to,\" says property buying agent Henry Pryor.\n\n\"Like last year if you already own a home then you are probably better off than someone who doesn't. If you don't, then it seems unlikely that 2017 will see a swift solution emerge.\"\n\nThe experts have a relatively wide spread of predictions for 2017 - from price falls overall to rises matching or outstripping the general level of inflation.\n\nMartin Ellis, housing economist at mortgage lender the Halifax, is offering a hedge-your-bets prediction of between a 1% and 4% rise.\n\n\"The relatively wide range for the forecast reflects the higher-than-normal degree of uncertainty regarding the prospects for the UK economy next year,\" he says.\n\nGiven that a buying a home is the biggest financial transaction of most people's lives, they - and their mortgage lender - will want some certainty over their job and income before taking the plunge.", "\"It takes a special kind of person\" to donate their kidney, Andy said of his friend Helen\n\nAbout 3,000 people have kidney transplants each year in the UK and about a third of these are from living donors. Helen Crowther has given one of her kidneys to her best friend Andy Clewes. He has suffered with chronic kidney disease since birth and has recently started to need dialysis treatment.\n\nWhen Helen first offered Andy her kidney he laughed along, thinking it was a joke.\n\n\"But she really meant it and as I got worse she became more insistent until about 12 months ago she said 'right, I definitely want to do it',\" he said.\n\nHelen's kidney was removed at the Royal Liverpool Hospital on Tuesday morning.\n\nHelen said it \"feels like a privilege\" to be able to give her kidney to her best friend\n\nIt was then \"whisked down the M62\" to Andy in the Manchester Royal Infirmary.\n\n\"The last 12 months have gone so slowly and to finally get to this end point is fantastic,\" the 46-year-old said.\n\n\"I was just on the cusp of dialysis, feeling exhausted all the time and unable to concentrate in work - now I can't wait to get my life back. I'm really excited.\"\n\nAndy, a radio DJ in Macclesfield, said: \"I'm incredibly lucky and grateful. It's hard to put into words such a massive thing... it takes a special kind of person to do this.\"\n\nThe pair are hoping to encourage others to sign up to the organ donor register\n\nBorn a week apart, the pair struck up their friendship in 2006 after meeting at a charity fundraising event. Last year Helen, 46, was Andy's \"best woman\" at his wedding.\n\nHelen, a charity worker from Runcorn, said she thought donating a kidney was \"the obvious thing to do\".\n\n\"I do appreciate it's a huge thing. I just didn't want to see Andy poorly. I was aware you can live well with one kidney so couldn't see why you wouldn't do it.\"\n\nHelen's kidney was removed at the Royal Liverpool Hospital\n\nWhen Andy's mum met Helen for the first time at his wedding and thanked her, she \"was in tears\".\n\n\"It's a bit embarrassing when people are saying you're so brave,\" she said. \"His family were so lovely at the wedding and I was overwhelmed really. I was just doing it as Andy needed to get well. I had the ability to help him.\n\n\"It feels like a privilege. I am just so grateful I can do it.\"\n\nFor Andy, he is planning on getting back to a normal life.\n\n\"I've been restricted physically up to now but the doctors say I'll get a burst of energy.\n\n\"I'm going to want to go off on holiday... to do everything. I think I'm going to be quite annoying.\"\n\nHe said it had made him very aware that others \"aren't so fortunate and rely on the kindness of strangers\" so he hopes his experience will encourage people to become organ donors as they \"really will be changing lives\".\n\nKidneys filter waste products from the blood and convert them to urine.\n\nThese waste products can build up in people whose kidneys fail, which is potentially life-threatening and the reason a transplant is needed.\n\nKidneys are the most common organ donated by a living person and a healthy person can lead a normal life with one working kidney.\n\nBefore 2006, living kidney donation was limited to exchanges between family members and friends but since the UK allowed \"non-directed altruistic donation\" by strangers, more than 500 people have gone ahead with the operation.\n\nThere were 1,035 living kidney donor transplants performed in the UK in 2015/2016 - but as of September 2016, there are 5,338 people waiting for a kidney.\n\nYou can find more information on the NHS Organ Donation website.\n\nAndy said the friends were \"always there for each other\"\n\n\"Nobody wants to see anyone they love on dialysis,\" said Helen. \"This should improve his quality of life. He'll be healthier and that's all I want.\"\n\n\"It's just a couple of months out of my life when I'll feel a bit tired and sore, but for Andy it will be a whole new life.\"\n\nAndy said: \"It's a totally selfless act and she's got a friend for life whether she wants it or not.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. 'Rock, paper, scissors' like you've never seen it before\n\nWhat if it all depended on a rock, paper, scissors contest? Everything you had ever worked for your entire life, decided by a split-second choice. Rock. Paper. Scissors. For 24-year-old Miku Tanabe, that is exactly what happened.\n\nWhen gripping footage emerged last month of what appeared to be the most intense and melodramatic response to victory in any rock, paper, scissors contest in the history of mankind, the internet was beside itself with bewilderment.\n\nThe crowd roared, she doubled over, wept with joy, the frenzy rose - and finally, she just looked at her hand, her bare hand, the true hero of this historic win.\n\nDespite being in AKB48 for years, Ms Tanabe never had a prominent role in the band\n\nWhat most people did not know was this was a contest that decided which member of wildly popular Japanese girl group AKB48 would get to front the band.\n\n\"For the last decade, I didn't get to do much TV work or didn't stand in the front row of our performance at the AKB theatre,\" Tanabe told the BBC.\n\nSuddenly her hysteria made much more sense. What lies behind the almost comic melodrama is actually a story of personal ambition, disappointment and an insight into Japan's unique music industry.\n\nCompetition for roles at the top of the sprawling band empire is fierce\n\nSince 2005, the AKB48 group has sold more than 40 million singles and it has become little short of a phenomenon in the time it has been active.\n\nThere are some 130 girls, not 48, in AKB48, and not all of them get to be part of their songs or TV appearances. They gained popularity as \"idols you can go and meet\" because members hold a daily performance at the AKB theatre in Akihabara.\n\nThey are usually selected by producer Yasushi Akimoto based on their popularity. And in what's known as the \"AKB48 general election\", the members of not only AKB48 but also its sister groups have been ranked by their fans annually since 2009.\n\nMs Tanabe did not even stand in AKB48's election for the last two years, which in 2014 was won by Mayu Watanabe\n\nThe competition between them can be intense and despite making it to one of the most sought-after pop music outfits in the country, it is easy to feel like you have failed.\n\nWhile Tanabe is a 10-year veteran of the band, it's safe to say she hasn't really enjoyed the spotlight.

In 2010, she came 12th in the rock, paper, scissors competition. Then it got to October 2016.\n\n\"When I got to the final match, when I realised I might actually win, I was actually more scared than being thrilled,\" she recalled.\n\nAKB48 is essentially a franchise, with sister \"48\" acts around Japan and Asia\n\nAs the winner, Tanabe got to be the lead singer of a seven-member unit for their newly released song \"Sakasa zaka\".\n\n\"I felt that all my hard work for the last decade has paid off,\" she told the BBC.\n\nFour months before she won the rock, paper, scissors competition, she wrote in her blog that \"I am probably approaching the end-of-life as an idol but I want to do what I can.\"\n\nSo the victory came as a surprise and reassured her that she was right not to have given up and felt justified in persevering despite the setbacks.\n\n\"I was selected because I continued being part of AKB48,\" she said.\n\n\"It was purely based on luck and the result was something I've long been wanting for.\"\n\n\"Janken\", or rock-paper-scissors, is widely used to settle trivial disputes in Japan\n\nThe competition is not without controversy.\n\nSome viewers complained in 2012 - when Japan's territorial dispute with China was at its recent peak - to ask why a TV station dropped a news programme to broadcast a mere rock, paper, scissors competition.\n\nWhen an already popular member won the competition in 2013, others asked if it was staged.\n\nAnd despite the brief attention that Tanabe enjoyed, her song hasn't been performing too well.\n\nThis is a brutally competitive industry which is difficult to get into and even harder to maintain any hard-earned popularity and certainly comes with the dark side.\n\nAKB48 as a group has so far survived its ups and downs, partly thanks to the reality TV elements of these competitions.\n\nAnd Tanabe is well aware the spotlight won't be on her forever.\n\nOn the day of her CD sale, she had a poignant tweet: \"I doubt I'd ever take centre stage again in my life,\" and urged her fans to buy it for memory's sake.", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "A rare sea turtle discovered washed up on an Anglesey beach is closer to full health after scans revealed why she found it difficult to dive.\n\nThe turtle, nicknamed Menai, was taken to Hertfordshire's Royal Veterinary College amid concerns she might be unable to return to sea.\n\nScans discovered Menai has gas on her lungs and is suffering lung damage.\n\nBut Anglesey Sea Zoo, who are caring for Menai, called the results \"good news\" and said the scans were \"part of her journey\" back to full health.", "Levels of violence are up, staff numbers are down and complaints about overcrowding are widespread.

A prisoner had clambered on to the safety netting under a landing because he was unhappy with the regime and wanted to move to another jail.\n\nMr Bickers explained that prisoner protests were a common occurrence, but required adept handling.\n\nAt that stage, High Down was on the edge of instability. Since then, a number of jails in England and Wales have fallen over the edge.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

The aftermath of the 1990 Strangeways Prison riot\n\nThe worst disorder in the history of the prison service came in 1990 when two people died and hundreds were injured during rioting at Strangeways, in Manchester. It evolved into a 25-day protest against the squalid conditions and was followed by disturbances at eight other prisons.\n\nThe report into Strangeways was meant to be a watershed. It did lead to some improvements, including the beginning of the end of the practice of slopping out, where prisoners used chamber pots in their cells, but it did not herald an end to prison overcrowding.\n\nThe principal reason is numbers. England and Wales went from almost 45,000 prisoners in 1991 to 85,000 two decades later - an increase of nearly 90%.\n\nJustice and policing are devolved matters for Scotland and Northern Ireland. There has been nothing like the same rise in the jail population in Scotland, where the latest figure, around 7,200, is the lowest it has been for a decade. In Northern Ireland, there are some 1,500 people in custody, about 300 fewer than in the mid-1990s.\n\nSo why did numbers rise so steeply in England and Wales? Some lobby groups and criminologists point to a \"moral panic\" following the murder in 1993 of the toddler James Bulger.\n\nExperts describe a sentencing \"arms race\" between political parties vying to be the strongest on law and order. Former Conservative leader Michael Howard's \"prison works\" versus former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair's \"tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nWhatever the reasons, average sentence lengths have crept up, more offenders have been jailed for life or indeterminate terms and growing numbers of released prisoners have had to return to custody for breaching their licence conditions.\n\nNew jails have been built, but have not kept up with demand. The Prison Reform Trust (PRT) calculates that an average of 20,000 prisoners, almost a quarter of the total, are held in overcrowded conditions. Many share cells designed for one.\n\nAt times, when Labour was in power, there was so little spare capacity that cells at police stations and in court buildings were used to hold inmates. To ease the pressure, a scheme was introduced to let prisoners out up to 18 days before their standard release date, halfway through their sentence. Eighty-thousand inmates were freed under the scheme - in addition to those released early under an existing programme which required them to wear electronic tags.\n\nOvercrowding has a corrosive effect. It is, in the words of Strangeways report author Lord Woolf, \"a cancer eating at the ability of the prison service\" to deliver effective education, tackle offending behaviour and prepare prisoners for life on the outside.\n\nWhen the Coalition Government came to power in 2010 it began to look for savings, as part of its effort to reduce overall public spending. Five years later the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), which is responsible for prisons in England and Wales, had reduced its budget by nearly a quarter.\n\nWandsworth Prison is one of the country's most overcrowded\n\nOld jails that were expensive to operate were shut - 18 have closed since 2011.\n\nBut the other tactic in the efficiency drive has been a programme of \"benchmarking\".\n\nPublicly run jails are required to peg their costs to the same level as the most efficient prisons, including those in the private sector.\n\nFourteen jails in England and Wales, and two out of 15 prisons in Scotland, are operated by private firms - G4S, Serco and Sodexo. And benchmarking has certainly led to savings. The Ministry of Justice estimates that the average annual cost of a prison place fell by 20% between 2009-10 and 2015-16 to about £35,000.\n\nBenchmarking has involved major changes to the regime in prisons and cuts to staffing. A standardised \"core day\" has been introduced in some jails, with the aim of making the most of prisoners' time out of their cells and giving them certainty about what activities they are doing.\n\nBut the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Peter Clarke, said jails which had brought in the new core days had not increased the amount of prisoners' time spent unlocked. Under half of jails were assessed as delivering \"good\" or \"reasonably good\" purposeful activities compared with more than two-thirds in 2009-10.\n\nWith the benchmarking programme and other cost-cutting, there was a dramatic reduction in staff numbers. Posts were cut in the Northern Ireland Prison Service as well, but in Scotland staff numbers have risen.\n\nThe overall number of staff employed across the public sector prison estate in England and Wales has fallen from 45,000 in 2010 to just under 31,000 in September 2016. Although a small part of the reduction has been because of employees switching to jails transferred to the private sector, the decline is substantial by any measure, with the number of prison officers working in key front-line roles down by more than 6,000.\n\nThe jobs market in areas such as London and south-east England has been so competitive that prisons have found it hard to attract and retain replacements on a £20,500 starting salary. Many experienced prison officers have taken voluntary redundancy - with their know-how and jail-craft sorely missed. About 200 staff each month are brought in from other jails to work at prisons where vacancies cannot be filled.\n\nLast November, members of the Prison Officers Association took part in a 24-hour walkout in protest at what they said were the \"chronic staff shortages and impoverished regimes\" in jails which they claimed had resulted in staff no longer being safe.\n\nAs thousands of prison staff departed, a seemingly intractable drugs problem began to arrive in jails - \"legal highs\", also known as new psychoactive substances (NPS). Sold under names such as Spice and Black Mamba, by 2013 the synthetic cannabis compounds had become a major problem. In contrast, Scottish prisons have had no record of any seizures of the drug.\n\nSynthetic drugs are becoming an increasing problem in England's prisons\n\nThe health dangers, bizarre behaviour and violence associated with NPS led to them being banned in the UK last year. In prisons, they have proved to be an unpredictable, and occasionally lethal, alternative to cannabis. Between June 2013 and April 2016, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman identified 64 deaths in jail where the prisoner was known or strongly suspected to have used or possessed NPS before they died.\n\nDespite the dangers, these synthetic drugs are popular because they are hard to detect using conventional drug testing methods and they provide a diversion to the boredom and frustration of prison life. The drugs are a source of income for criminal gangs whose illicit use of phones and drones, combined with the help of a number of corrupt staff, has helped the trade thrive behind bars.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Watch a drone deliver drugs and mobile phones to London prisoners in April 2016\n\nThe destabilising impact of synthetic drugs, together with the loss of so many staff in such a short space of time, against a backdrop of overcrowding, has proved to be a dangerous cocktail for our prisons.\n\nThe government's policy document, entitled Prison Safety and Reform, published in November, acknowledges the scale of the challenge. An extra 2,500 prison officers are being recruited, there will be financial incentives for staff to stay in their jobs, while sniffer dogs and new methods of drug testing are being deployed.\n\nLabour said the announcement was \"too little, too late\", saying earlier staff cuts had created a \"crisis in safety\".\n\nAnd there are calls for far more radical measures.\n\nNick Clegg, deputy prime minister in the Coalition, together with the former Home Secretaries Jacqui Smith and Ken Clarke, said prisoner numbers must be steadily cut back to the levels of the early 90s, a reduction of some 40,000 inmates. \"We believe that an escalating prison population has gone well beyond what is safe or sustainable,\" they wrote in a letter to the Times.\n\nThere are no signs, however, that Liz Truss, the justice secretary, has any intention of arbitrarily cutting the jail population. Sentencing changes and early release schemes are simply not on her agenda.\n\nJustice Secretary Liz Truss wants to cut prisoner numbers by reducing reoffending\n\nMichael Spurr, the chief executive of NOMS, has even gone as far as to say that he cannot see an end to prison overcrowding until at least after the next parliament - 2025, at the earliest.\n\nInstead, Ms Truss believes that any drop in prisoner numbers should come through a reduction in reoffending - fewer people going through the revolving door of the criminal justice system.\n\nShe is hoping that extra staff and security improvements will steady the ship while longer-term changes to the management of prisons take effect. Governors will have greater autonomy, there will be closer monitoring of prison performance and education and investment in modern facilities.\n\nHMP Berwyn in north Wales will be the UK's biggest prison\n\nA new jail, HMP Berwyn, opens in north Wales next month. It has cost £250m to build and will house more than 2,000 male prisoners - making it the biggest prison in the UK.\n\nThe extra places will help relieve some of the pressure on a system that still relies heavily on jails constructed in the Victorian era. But more important, Berwyn sends a clear message that in spite of all the recent trouble, tensions and turmoil within prison walls, the government remains committed to the concept of imprisonment itself.\n\nUPDATE: The graphs in this piece were updated on 2 August to reflect new figures published\n• None How dangerous are our prisons?", "It was only yesterday that the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, told MPs it just might all be a bit tricky to have a White Paper, a formal document outlining the government's plans for Brexit, and stick to the timetable they want to pursue.\n\nRebel Remainers though were \"delighted\", that, stealing Jeremy Corbyn's thunder, a planted question from a loyal Tory MP at PMQs today produced in fact a promise from the Prime Minister that, after all, there will be a White Paper.\n\nIt is a climbdown, no question, a last-minute change of heart.\n\nLate last night Brexiteers were being assured there would be no bending, no delay to the government's plans and no giving in to the Remainers.\n\nEven early this morning, government sources were privately suggesting that they were quite happy to have the white paper option up their sleeve, but there were no immediate plans to make that promise.\n\nThen voila, at 1205 GMT, the pledge of a white paper suddenly emerged.

For the GOP and Mrs May's Conservative Party, patriotism, flag and family are not values to shy away from.\n\nAnd despite the squeamishness, even in Tory ranks, about her eagerness to be seen alongside the president, the prime minister is unapologetic about her friendly stance.\n\nWhen asked about appearing to be too close to the controversial new president, she said: \"Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America.\n\n\"The UK and the US have shared challenges, shared interests, that we can work together to deal with.

These two new, uncertain leaders need concrete achievements and not just gestures.\n\nThe two could not be more different. Mrs May is serious-minded, steely, attentive to her briefing books, insular, dependent on a tightly-wound inner circle.\n\nDonald Trump is brash, abrasive, instinctive, revelling in his newly won power to change America.\n\nOne of them is a vicar's daughter; the other a star of reality TV. Both of them are in office because of a people's revolt.\n\nSo what will be on Mrs May's agenda as she becomes the first foreign leader to meet the new president?\n\nBritish leaders tend to attach more importance to the special relationship than the US. But with Britain about to divorce from the European Union, the long-standing link with Washington has assumed more importance. It is an anchor in a less certain era.\n\nMrs May will stress that the relationship between the two countries helped forge the \"modern world\" and, by implication, can do so again. The White House has indicated that it would welcome the closeness of the Thatcher/Reagan years.\n\nMrs May will emphasise her belief in the continuing importance of the special relationship\n\nPresident Trump needs to demonstrate that he has the seriousness to be the leader of the West and that he has command of the issues. The American audience will be watching.\n\nTheresa May needs to tread carefully. There is much she needs from America, not least a trade agreement, but many in the UK would question deepening a \"special\" relationship with a president they intensely distrust.\n\nThe prime minister has promised to be \"frank\" in her discussions, but Britain outside the EU needs a close ally in Washington and Donald Trump is likely to get his invitation to visit Britain and stay in Buckingham Palace and risk the demonstrations such a visit may spark.\n\nFor the UK, trade is the centrepiece of the visit.\n\nWith the UK leaving the EU and its single market, Britain will need new trading relationships. Already trade between Britain and the US is worth £150bn ($188bn). What the prime minister is looking for is a \"bold and ambitious free-trade agreement\" with the US.\n\nSuch a trade deal cannot be concluded while the UK remains part of the EU but preparatory work can begin so that a trade agreement can be in place shortly after the UK leaves the EU in 2019.\n\nThe prime minister is a strong advocate of free trade versus protectionism\n\nThere will be discussions about reducing existing tariffs and making it easier for American and British citizens to work in each other's countries.\n\nProgress surely will be made but there are deep underlying differences. The president's core policy is \"America First\". Theresa May's slogan is \"Global Britain\". Donald Trump has spent this week signalling he is pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement and bent on re-negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).\n\nBritain outside the EU, on the other hand, needs an open global trading system. Theresa May has to be an advocate for free trade in the house of a leader determined to protect first and trade second.\n\nDowning Street will also know that a deal with the US will strengthen its hand in its negotiations with Brussels.\n\nDuring the election campaign Donald Trump caused consternation in Europe and in the foreign policy establishment in Washington when he declared Nato \"obsolete\".\n\nOn one level it was an expression of American frustration that its European allies refused to share the burden of defence. Theresa May will surely support the president in calling on Europe to spend 2% of GDP on its military.\n\nThere are calls for more Nato countries to share the alliance's financial burden\n\nBut May will be looking for much more. She wants to hear the President commit to Nato's Article Five, that an attack on one member will be treated as an attack on all.\n\nFor her, Nato is part of the post-war international order. Britain outside the EU needs Nato more than ever. In the future it will be Nato that will be the UK's link to its European neighbours.\n\nOne of the ironies of the visit is that Theresa May will fight for the EU. It will be a case of a divorcee speaking up for a former partner.\n\nEurope has been shocked by Donald Trump's comments about Europe breaking up, about the EU being a \"vehicle for Germany\". For the first time since the Treaty of Rome was signed 50 years ago, Europe does not have a friend in the White House who shares the mission and belief in European integration.\n\nSo Theresa May has an opportunity to win friends in Europe's capitals by standing up for the EU. It is not in Britain's interest, as she has said, for the European Union to unravel. \"It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in Britain's national interest that the EU should succeed,\" she believes.\n\nDespite Brexit, Mrs May could speak up for the European Union\n\nA global Britain needs a strong international order and part of that is Nato, the EU, and open trade. In the past it has been the US underpinning this global order. Theresa May will need to be the great persuader.\n\nThe UK views Moscow and Putin differently from the new administration in Washington. Donald Trump has signalled that he can open a new era with Russia.\n\nThe UK remains deeply suspicious of the Kremlin.

By the age of 11 she was a gymnastics champion - having fallen in love with the sport after watching Dominique Moceanu win a gold medal for the US at the 1996 Olympics. And it turned out the two had a lot more in common than athletic talent.\n\nWrapped in a loop of red silk suspended from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground - a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs.\n\nJennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a radiant smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket, they refused.\n\nJennifer soon learned to walk - and run - on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline with her three older brothers. \"They encouraged all of that by having me jump off everything and scare everybody half to death,\" she says.\n\nAt the age of three she was fitted with prosthetic legs, but she never really took to them - she moved more freely without.\n\nAt school Jennifer loved competing in ball games. \"I was right there with everyone else,\" she says. \"My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.\"\n\nThe Brickers had always been open with her about her adoption. \"I knew that I was Romanian and that probably a good reason why I was given up for adoption was because I didn't have legs,\" says Jennifer.\n\nSharon and Gerald even encouraged her to understand her birth parents - Romanian immigrants to the US who had given her up on the day she was born. \"You didn't walk in their shoes so you really don't know what was going on in their life. They were from a different country. They had a different mindset,\" they would explain.\n\nAt the same time, they made sure she felt loved and wanted, telling her she was the answer to their prayers.\n\nJennifer grew up in a tiny community in Illinois. The first time she saw a fellow Romanian was on TV. It was 1996 and the Olympic Games were taking place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team, but there was one member of the team she especially idolised - 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu. She was only six years older, and, as Jennifer puts it, \"very small\" like her.\n\n\"I was drawn to her because we looked alike and that was so important to me,\" says Jennifer. \"No-one looked like me growing up. I didn't know any other Romanian people. I just saw myself in her in so many ways and that was a big deal for me.\"\n\nDominique Moceanu during the Women's Beam event in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia\n\nMoceanu and the women's team went on to win gold, and it was at that moment Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability. \"That way when I compete, I know that it's legit,\" she says.\n\nShe remembers spectators being surprised when they saw her: \"Wow, this girl doesn't have legs - is she competing?\"\n\n\"But the love, the support when I did compete was amazing,\" she says. \"They would always applaud and cheer because I made sure that there were no exceptions made for me - nothing.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nAt the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.\n\nJennifer continued to follow the ups and downs of her idol, who was now making headlines for different reasons. In 1998, when Dominique was 17, she took her parents to court, accusing them of mis-spending $1m of her post-Olympic earnings. During the court case, stories came out about her father's harsh treatment of her. She succeeded in legally breaking free from her parents and taking control of her own finances.\n\nDominique Moceanu takes an oath in court with her father in the background\n\nWhen Jennifer was 16 she asked her mother if there was anything they hadn't told her about her birth family. She really wasn't expecting her to say, \"Yes,\" because her parents had always been so open. But to her surprise, her mother did have something important to tell her. She sat her down and said: \"Your biological last name would have been Moceanu.\"\n\nThere was no doubting what that meant. \"Immediately when she said that I was like, 'Wow, that means Dominique's my sister,'\" says Jennifer.\n\nThe Brickers had found out purely by accident. Jennifer's was meant to have been a closed adoption, but her birth parents' names appeared on some documents. Then, during the 1996 Olympics, the TV cameras had cut to Dominique's mother Camelia and father Dumitru in the crowd. As their names flashed up on the screen, the Brickers realised they were looking at Jennifer's parents. But they decided not to tell their daughter until she was older.\n\nWhen she found out, Jennifer wanted to get in touch with Dominique, but she was determined to do it properly. \"I couldn't just call her and say 'Hey, I'm your sister' - I didn't want her to think I was crazy.\" Her uncle happened to be a private investigator so she asked him to contact her biological parents. They didn't deny putting her up for adoption, but after that first phone call they no longer responded. \"It was clear they wanted to continue keeping me a secret,\" she says.\n\nFour years later, Jennifer wrote her sister a letter, explaining the situation and telling her how she had inspired her to take up gymnastics.\n\n\"I almost could not believe it myself, you had been my idol my whole life, and you turned out to be my sister!\" she wrote.\n\nShe included copies of all the documentation she had and lots of photographs - all from the waist up. \"I instinctively made the choice not to tell her I didn't have legs because I thought it might be a little bit much,\" explains Jennifer. \"She's already finding out she has a sister she didn't know about. I'll just wait and tell her about the no legs afterwards.\"\n\nBy now, Dominique was 26 years old and no longer competing professionally. It was a busy time in her life. She had married a fellow athlete and they were expecting their first child. She was trying to finish her college exams before giving birth. On 10 December 2007, after finishing a statistics exam, Dominique drove to the post office to collect a package.\n\nShe tore open the envelope when she got back to the car - the first thing she saw were some court documents with her parents' signatures. That piqued her interest. Then she shifted her attention to the photographs of a girl who looked just like her younger sister, Christina. \"The resemblance was unbelievable,\" she says. Finally she turned to the neatly-typed letter. One sentence leapt out at her: \"My biological last name is Moceanu.\"\n\n\"That letter was the biggest shock of my life and I'll never forget it,\" says Dominique.\n\nShe needed to know if it was true. Still sitting in her car, she called her mother, who lived a few time zones away, and woke her up with the words: \"Did you give up a baby girl for adoption in 1987?\"\n\n\"She had the wake-up call of her life - it was just so blunt,\" she admits.\n\nHer mother burst into tears. She said \"Yes\" but could barely say anything else.\n\n\"My heart broke for her because she had to keep this a secret for all these years and she could never have had the opportunity to deal with it,\" says Dominique.\n\nThe next few weeks were an emotional rollercoaster. Dominique wrote back to Jennifer, asking for time to process the news and explaining that she was about to have a baby.\n\n\"I needed to answer some of my own questions and figure out how this could have happened,\" says Dominique.\n\nAt the time her father was very ill so it was difficult to communicate with him, but Dominique found out that he had made the decision to give Jennifer up at the hospital out of fear that they would not be able to pay her medical bills. Her mother had not had a say in it, and had never even got the chance to hold her.\n\nDominique's own daughter was born on Christmas Day and a few weeks later, on 14 January, she felt ready to call her sister for the first time. She was nervous and had even prepared notes, but the conversation soon flowed.\n\nThen Jennifer bit the bullet. \"By the way, you know I don't have legs right?\" she said.\n\nDominique was stunned into silence. How did this fit with what she knew?\n\n\"She told me that I was the reason she started gymnastics, and I thought that was a beautiful thing,\" says Dominique. \"I never imagined she would do all of these sports without having legs.\"\n\nThat spring, Dominique, Jennifer and their younger sister Christina met for the first time in Ohio, where Dominique lived.\n\n\"On one hand it was surreal and a bit like a dream,\" says Jennifer. \"But on the other hand it was very natural. The DNA was very clear at that point. When I met my younger sister it was like looking in a mirror.\"\n\nThe sisters marvelled at all the things they had in common - the way they laughed, even certain hand gestures - but when they spoke about their upbringing, their stories could not have been more different.\n\n\"They did not have the love and support that I had. They had some abuse and turmoil and secrets so it was not an easy childhood for them,\" says Jennifer.\n\nThe Moceanus, themselves former gymnasts, had come to the US in 1981, after fleeing the Ceausescu regime in Romania. Dominique was born shortly after they arrived, and they dreamed she would be the next Nadia Comaneci.\n\nWhen she was six months old they hung her on the washing line to test her strength - she held on until the line broke. \"That was a sign to them I'd be a great gymnast,\" says Dominique. It was a story her father loved to tell - unfortunately the training methods he and the coaches espoused were a hangover from the communist era.\n\nDominique says she was constantly humiliated and berated about her weight and any shortcomings in her performance. \"People thought these measures were the way you had to succeed,\" she says. \"But those kinds of things are really damaging to the self-esteem when you're a young, growing, pre-pubescent child.\" There was also the threat of physical punishment from her father if her performance was not up to scratch. He was an authoritarian figure who dominated the household.\n\n\"We all agree that it would not have been a great childhood environment for me to grow up in,\" says Jennifer.\n\n\"My parents had never been around many children with disabilities,\" says Dominique.\n\nTheir father died before Jennifer could meet him, but in January 2010, at the age of 22, she met her biological mother, Camelia, for the first time.\n\n\"I remember it in slow motion,\" says Jennifer.\n\n\"She was wearing a fur hat - it was such a stereotypical Eastern European thing.\n\n\"She couldn't believe how much I looked like my sisters and so she was instinctively speaking in Romanian.\" Dominique had to translate for her mother, who was too stunned to switch to English.\n\nThe women hugged, and Jennifer showed her videos of her performances, including a trampoline act she had performed on tour with Britney Spears. \"She was so amazed and she knew that she could have never given me that life,\" she says.\n\nJennifer felt no anger towards her. She credits her adoptive parents for this. \"They gave me the freedom not to be bitter,\" she says.\n\nJennifer with her parents, Sharon and Gerald Bricker\n\nIn fact, she says her heart went out to her mother.\n\n\"You know, my biological mother was very much a victim of an abusive marriage,\" she says. \"She did not have an easy life - and that's not me making an excuse for her, that's just the truth.\"\n\nThe sisters live in separate states but try to see each other when they can, making up for lost time. Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and performs as an aerial acrobat.\n\n\"She's wonderful, she's up there in the air and you can see her passion,\" says Dominique. \"I'm proud of her as an older sister - she's really living her dreams.\"\n\nListen to Dominique and Jennifer speak to Outlook on the BBC World Service\n\nImages of Jennifer Bricker taken from Everything is Possible by Jen Bricker with Sheryl Berk.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), should focus on its \"essential mission of protecting our air and water\".\n\nThe Twitter account of Badlands National Park has seen a number of tweets relating to climate change deleted\n\nWhile the administration figures out how to achieve that re-focus, staff at the EPA have been told to freeze all grant making, and to be quiet about it. This means that no external press releases will be issued and no social media posts will be permitted.

Mourinho says Man Utd 'didn't lose'\n\nFormer boss Ferguson said earlier in the week that Mourinho had \"got to grips\" with the managerial role at Old Trafford - and a major final will surely only further build confidence as United remain in the hunt for a Champions League qualification berth and in three cup competitions.\n\nThe EFL Cup may not top the list of objectives for Red Devils fans, but their team have shown a hunger to beat three Premier League teams on the way to Wembley in Hull, West Ham and Manchester City.\n\nOn his 54th birthday, Mourinho shuffled his pack. Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard were preferred to Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and United were deservedly beaten.\n\nThere were contentious moments, notably the penalty award which BBC Radio 5 live pundit Ally McCoist deemed \"soft\" and United had calls for their own spot-kick when Chris Smalling went down under Tom Huddlestone's challenge after the break.\n\nMourinho seemed irked by officiating after the match, but on the night his side had less of the ball, fewer shots than their hosts and were probably asked to work far harder than he would have liked.\n\nThere were positives. Marcus Rashford's pace on times troubled the hosts, Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed touches of flair - notably when bringing a fine save from David Marshall - and most importantly, United will bid for a fifth League Cup win.\n\nHowever, with progress comes dilemmas. Mourinho will now see the depth of his squad tested, with the final arriving on the same day United were scheduled to face Manchester City in the league and four days after the second leg of a Europa League tie at Saint-Etienne.\n\nHull, on paper at least, stood no chance before kick-off. On 26 of the 27 previous occasions a side had lost a League Cup semi-final first leg by two or more goals they have gone out.\n\nBut ploughing on through adversity is a necessary pre-requisite at the KCOM Stadium.\n\nRobert Snodgrass - who has created 30 more chances than any other Hull player this season - was left out amid two bids for his services, midfielder Jake Livermore has been sold and recent acquisition Ryan Mason will likely face a long lay-off after fracturing his skull. All things considered, this was a display to be applauded.\n\nThe fact the starting line-up included four players who have each played less than five games this season in Shaun Maloney, Jarron Bowen, Niasse and Josh Tymon, perhaps underlined coach Marco Silva's priorities.\n\nBut Bowen was neat and tidy, while Everton-reject Niasse proved a constant nuisance. The experience of Tom Huddlestone was key as he picked intelligent passes in midfield and new recruit Lazar Markovic came off the bench to help craft the second goal.\n\nWith Hull's league position so precarious, would the distraction of a cup final proved a nuisance for Silva?\n\nHe has a bigger battle to fight but this win showed that even with key names out, he has a squad which may have the character needed for a successful scrap against the drop.\n• None Listen: Spirit is being ripped from Hull - McCoist\n\nFor all the Hull vigour, semi-finals belong to winners and United will now compete in their ninth League Cup final.\n\nVictory in this competition of course kick-started Ferguson's success in 1992, and a quarter of a century on Mourinho will bid to maintain his unbeaten run in League cup finals.\n\n\"Wembley is Wembley, it is for professionals with passion for football.

partly through benefits and housing policy - is crucial in improving infant survival, the report says\n\nNew mortality data have been published this week by the Office for National Statistics.\n\nThey underline again the scale of inequalities.\n\nWithin England, the West Midlands had double the infant mortality rate of the South East in 2015, at 6.1 deaths per 1,000 live births.\n\nFor the whole population (age-standardised), Blackpool, Glasgow, Belfast and Blaenau Gwent had considerably higher death rates than areas like Monmouthshire and City of London.\n\nThe ONS release accompanying the data notes: \"The substantial variation in mortality rates between different local areas reflects underlying differences in factors such as income deprivation, socio-economic position and health behaviour.\"\n\nThe nation's statisticians are confirming the thrust of the Royal College report - that inequality is a key driver in health outcomes.\n\nIncome inequality on some measures has fallen in recent years in the UK.\n\nBut this followed a sharp decline in earnings and investment returns for the wealthiest households after the financial crisis at a time when benefits for the poorest were being protected by government policies.\n\nInequality is higher than it was in the 1970s and is still relatively high compared to other advanced economies.\n\nReal wages for much of the population have stagnated since the start of the recession in 2008.\n\nIt has been described as a \"lost decade\" even by the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney.\n\nA recent ONS report on household inequality, noting the relative generosity of pensioner benefit increases compared to other parts of the population, stated: \"While retired households' incomes have soared in recent years, non-retired households still have less money, on average, than before the crash.\"\n\nWhile most people close to or at average income levels remain financially stretched and there are no signs of a significant reduction in the gap between rich and poor, health disparities will be hard to shift.\n\nThe latest Royal College report and data are a wake-up call if one were needed.", "Two Premiership players tested positive for recreational drug use last season, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has confirmed.\n\nHowever, the latest RFU annual anti-doping report revealed there were only four violations for performance-enhancing drugs -

such as the use of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) - are notoriously difficult to detect.\n\n\"We utilise all the latest techniques: we operate the biological passport, there is blood and urine testing, in and out of competition,\" he added.\n\n\"We go to players' homes regularly, we obviously have regular intelligence meetings with other sports, with World Rugby and UK Anti-Doping (Ukad).\n\n\"I would say we operate at the sharp end here. We obviously can't rest on our laurels, we can't allow ourselves to be complacent in this area. I would say we are doing everything we can. It's a very tough arena this, [and] given some of the other sports' issues with sophisticated doping it's not something we can take too lightly.\n\n\"Every sport out there will be looking to use the latest and most sophisticated techniques to detect drug use. But if you look at our stats and World Rugby stats, I think as a sport we stand up pretty well.\"\n\nThe illicit drugs programme was introduced following the Bath cocaine scandal in 2009, when four players were subsequently banned.\n\n\"We feel very confident those issues don't exist in the Premiership any longer. While we can never rule it out, we feel pretty confident we don't have some of the issues which maybe occurred in the past,\" Watkins said.\n\nPhil Winstanley, rugby director at Premiership Rugby, added: \"We had one big problem at Bath and that was a catalyst for this programme,\"\n\n\"This is slightly different to the anti-doping programme. Unless it's being used in competition, cocaine isn't a performance-enhancing drug. Clearly we don't want it in our sport, and what's why we are doing the programme.\"\n\nThe players who have tested positive have been fined, but the RFU will not reveal their identity when it is a first offence.

The latter, retired Marine Corps officer Gen James Mattis, says torture does not work.\n\nSo what are the global implications if the president goes ahead, asks BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner.\n\nThere is a South African proverb, dating from the apartheid era, that goes like this: \"How do you catch an elephant? You catch a mouse and keep beating it up until it admits it's really an elephant.\"\n\nRidiculous as this may sound, there is an echo of truth here. Torture hurts. That's the whole point of it.\n\nSo if someone is tortured badly enough they will say anything to make it stop, including making things up that they think their tormentors will want to hear.\n\nPrisons in certain Middle Eastern countries, especially Syria, are crammed full of people who are being abused so badly they will eventually sign any \"confession\" to make the treatment stop. In some countries forced confessions remain to this day the primary tool in the prosecutor's armoury.\n\nIn the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 the US intelligence community, having failed to prevent the worst attack on the US since Pearl Harbor, became convinced that a second catastrophic attack was on its way.\n\nAs President George W Bush's \"war on terror\" got underway, the normal safeguards of respect for human rights and the rule of law were cast aside in a desperate hunt to find \"the ticking bomb\".\n\nTop al-Qaeda planners like Ramzi Bin Al-Shibh, Abu Zubaydah and Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, all caught in Pakistan, were \"rendered\" (transported) to so-called \"black sites\" for extreme interrogation. These were secret, unacknowledged prisons, run by the CIA and scattered around the globe in Afghanistan, Thailand, Poland, Romania and other countries.\n\nThere they were subjected to repeated waterboarding, which makes the bound and helpless victim feel like they are drowning. Khaled Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded a staggering number of times, well over 100.\n\nAnd yet years later, when in 2014 the US Senate's Intelligence and Security Select Committee issued its report on the use of torture under the Bush administration it concluded that torture was \"not an effective means of acquiring intelligence or gaining cooperation from detainees\".\n\nOn Thursday, the US House Speaker, Paul Ryan, said torture was not legal and that the committee agreed it was not legal. Senator John McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, also opposes it.\n\n\"The president can sign whatever executive order he likes,\" he said, \"but the law is the law. We are not bringing back torture in the USA.\"\n\nThere would be strong resistance too from both America's allies and from within the intelligence community itself.\n\nThere is a general acceptance now, in most of the world, that those practices carried out in the early years after the 9/11 attacks - extraordinary rendition, detention without trial, enhanced interrogation - were not only morally wrong, they were also counter-productive.\n\nThey very rarely produced useful, actionable intelligence. They traumatised not only the victims, some of whom were completely innocent, but also those who witnessed the shocking dehumanising of an individual. Undoubtedly this has given the green light to some unscrupulous practices by regimes who see America's earlier use of torture as a license to do what they like to their own citizens.\n\nUnthinkable as it sounds now, the US even rendered one \"high value detainee\" to his own country - Syria - for interrogation, knowing that there would be few restraints on his treatment there.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. John McCain said he'd have Donald Trump in court in 'a New York minute' if he reinstated waterboarding\n\nThere is also the legal aspect. In 2010 David Cameron, who was then UK prime minister, set up a judge-led, independent inquiry into allegations of complicity by MI5 and MI6 officers in torture.\n\nCareer intelligence officers who had thought they were doing the right thing at the time - such as, hypothetically, being within earshot of the harsh interrogation of a suspect in a Pakistani jail - found themselves being questioned by detectives from the Metropolitan Police.\n\nThe inquiry was eventually scrapped but it has at least led to a widespread rethink on respect for human rights inside intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nSenior intelligence officers who lived through this difficult period are likely to strongly resist turning the clock back and returning to those days.\n\nIt is also questionable whether the US would find willing partners to host black site prisons amongst those countries only too relieved to have closed that chapter in their national histories.", "Diane Munday had an abortion in 1961, six years before the Abortion Act - now 50 years old - made abortion legal in Britain. While she could afford a Harley Street operation, she knew her neighbours were facing backstreet procedures with knitting needles. Here she explains how this inspired a life-long campaign for reform.\n\nIt wasn't until I was about 21 years old that I first heard the word \"abortion.\"\n\nIn those days you had clothes made by a dressmaker and a local young married woman was making me a party dress; I went to her house for fittings. She had three young children and lived in a small post-war prefab house. I remember a very happy family. The father worked in a local factory and the children went to dancing lessons.\n\nOne day when I came home from work - I was a research assistant at Barts Hospital - my mother told me the dressmaker had died. I discovered she had had a backstreet abortion that went wrong. I hadn't heard of this before - probably because the word was considered unmentionable. At that time a pregnant woman having an abortion and anyone who helped her could go to prison for it.\n\nI was so shocked by this that I mentioned it to colleagues at lunch the next day. The doctors I worked with said it was a common experience and invited me to \"stay behind on Friday evening and we'll show you what the world is really like\".\n\nI discovered then that all the London teaching hospitals set a few wards aside each Friday for women who were septic, bleeding or dying from having backstreet abortions. There would be a spate of cases on Friday because it was payday.\n\nThey were often performed by people with some nursing experience using hot solutions and knitting needles or coat hanger hooks. A big problem was their inability to diagnose the stage of pregnancy accurately and the more advanced a pregnancy the more dangerous what they did became.\n\nDiane joined the Abortion Law Reform Society following the thalidomide scandal\n\nI put the incident to the back of my mind and over the next few years got married and then had three children of my own (in less than four years - there was no \"pill\" back then). During my third pregnancy the doctor gave me a prescription for thalidomide because I had problems sleeping. I left it on the mantelpiece and did not take the drug.\n\nThe thalidomide scandal broke shortly afterwards and I got to thinking that if I had been carrying a deformed foetus I would have wanted the option of ending the pregnancy. So I joined the Abortion Law Reform Association (ALRA) but initially did no more than pay my membership fee. This organisation had been founded in the 1930s but it wasn't really active as, post war, people preferred more polite social causes such as housing and education.\n\nThen I discovered I was pregnant again - my fourth in four years - and something in me just said: \"I cannot, I will not have this child.\" My husband said he would much rather I continued the pregnancy but that it was my decision and he would support me whatever I decided.\n\nAfter much asking around I found my way to Harley Street where there was a semi-legal procedure. The gynaecologist sent me to a friend who was a psychiatrist who said my mental health was so damaged by the pregnancy that my life was endangered. This was an accepted reason for an abortion because of a recent court case called the Bourne Case. It was only available to those who could afford to pay. I was quoted £150 - which was thousands in 1961 - but the doctor later halved it. He arranged for me to go to a private nursing home in north London\n\nThe procedure was done under general anaesthetic and I was in overnight. I found the nurses very unsympathetic - many of them disapproved because they were Roman Catholic. When I vomited due to the after effects of the anaesthetic, one nurse was extremely unpleasant.\n\nComing round from the anaesthetic, I remembered the young dressmaker who had died and realised how similar our situations were; we were both young women with three young children but where we differed was that , because I had a chequebook, I was alive and because she had no spare money she was dead. This seemed totally and unacceptably wrong. At that moment I vowed to myself that I would do everything I could to prevent women dying because they were poor.\n\nSo I went along to the next ALRA annual meeting, spoke to some people who had also joined because of the thalidomide scandal and within a year I was on the committee. That was when I started speaking out about abortion and that became my main role in the organisation.\n\nA poster from the 1960s printed by the Abortion Law Reform Association\n\nI gave talks to groups and, from the start, decided to be open about it and say, \"I have had an abortion.\" I clearly remember an early Townswomen's Guild meeting when, in the tea interval, members came up to me one after the other and said words to the effect of \"You know dear, I had an abortion in the 30s. My husband was out of work and we couldn't afford any more children.\" From then on this was a common experience and I realised abortion was an unmentionable but routine part of women's lives.\n\nI became infamous. I was boycotted by the grocers in the village because they said my money was tainted - that I had been doing backstreet abortions on my kitchen table. My sons were affected by comments at school when I was on TV and I think my husband found it difficult.\n\nBut it needed to be done, the work was so important as women were desperate. They would try to self-induce by drinking gin, having scalding baths and moving heavy furniture around. Some travelled across the country and knocked on my front door as well as that of our secretary, Dilys Cossey, because her address was on the ALRA literature.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Two different perspectives on abortion from Woman's Hour\n\nDespite being shunned by some in the village, women would come to me themselves or with their daughters when they were unmarried and pregnant. I'd drive them to a clinic and hold their hand while their daughter's pregnancy was ended but next time I saw them they'd cross the road.\n\nLater when ALRA needed money for its campaigning (it was run by unpaid volunteers) I approached the doctor who performed my own abortion to ask for a donation. It seemed to me that many doctors had benefited over the years and they could put some money back to help women who couldn't afford fees. He agreed and also gave me names of other doctors who might contribute.\n\nI asked him why he performed abortions and he told me that, when he was a young doctor, a patient said she would kill herself if she didn't get an abortion. He told her the usual tale about loving the baby when it was born: that night she drowned herself and he felt that he had killed her.\n\nDiane is concerned that there is still a taboo about admitting to having had an abortion\n\nAfter much lobbying of MPs and a number of Bills in the Commons and the Lords the 1967 Abortion Act was passed. This was a great victory and a big step forward for women. But, for me, even then, it was not enough. I always believed that the only person qualified to make a decision about a pregnancy was the woman herself. We had had to make the concession that every abortion would be approved by two doctors. It was the price we paid for legalising any abortions at all. Nevertheless the beneficial effect was almost immediate with the numbers of women admitted to London hospitals for \"septic miscarriages\" dropping hugely within a year of the Act coming into effect.\n\nBut still there were battles to fight. Particularly in areas of the country where medical opposition to legal abortion had been most ferocious, surgeons said they wouldn't perform abortions.\n\nI helped set up the Birmingham (later British) Pregnancy Advisory Service to help women where NHS doctors refused to comply with the Act. Initially it opened as a counselling service in someone's house. Women who could afford it were charged two shillings a visit and counselled and referred on to sympathetic doctors who would help them. This ensured that there was equitable treatment wherever somebody lived. Later, for 17 years, I worked for Bpas which had become a national organisation ensuring women were sympathetically and professionally treated wherever they lived and whatever the beliefs of local doctors.\n\nI'm proud of what I have done and of the benefits it has brought to so many women's lives. However, my concern now is the future. There's still a taboo around the subject making women reluctant to say: \"I feel all right about having had an abortion.\" Half a century after reform we live in a very different world. Women's' rights have moved on. Medical technology has moved on. But we still require two doctors to sanction the termination of a pregnancy that the pregnant women herself has decided on. It's unbearable.\n\nWe were among the first in Europe to allow abortion and now are almost the last to have stringent laws controlling it.

EU no longer wants to \"chastise\" the UK, says Philip Hammond\n\nIt is the big question swirling around government.\n\nAfter another set of economic figures stronger than expected, is this economic pain cancelled, or simply postponed?\n\nOn that central issue rests the fate of the government's economic policy.\n\nIf it is pain cancelled that means better real incomes for voters.\n\nIt means higher tax receipts for the government, lower levels of borrowing and more leeway to spend money on public services.\n\nAnd, of course, confidence tends to beget confidence.\n\nIf consumers - the most important drivers of the UK economy - feel the world around them is feeling positive, they tend to spend.\n\nFor businesses, it is not a lot different.\n\nLarry Fink, the head of the world's largest asset managers, BlackRock, made an interesting point at the World Economic Forum at Davos last week.\n\nAsked why consumer confidence hadn't collapsed following the referendum - or at least had recovered strongly after some initial uncertainty - Mr Fink answered that for lots of people who voted for Brexit or who voted for Donald Trump, the victories were not a negative event.\n\n\"They won,\" he said, simply felt good and kept spending. \"Car sales went up.\"\n\nFor the UK economy, it is worth considering two points.\n\nThe Bank of England increased financial support for businesses after the Brexit vote\n\nFirst, the gloomy forecasts before the referendum about the possible effects of a vote to leave the European Union were based on Article 50, the mechanism for leaving the EU, being triggered immediately after the vote as David Cameron promised.\n\nThat could have led to a chaotic departure from the EU and certainly would have created greater economic dislocation.\n\nSecond, the Bank of England cut interest rates and increased financial support for businesses and banks, soothing market fears.\n\nThese two points are not enough to explain all of the resilience in the economy, but they go some of the way.\n\nIn my interview with the chancellor, he admitted that he was now \"more optimistic\" about the process of leaving the EU and the single market.\n\nHe said that European leaders were no longer in chastising mood over Brexit, that had now past.\n\nA good deal is on, he said.\n\nA weaker pound is set to push up the price of everyday goods\n\nBut, and of course there has to be a but when considering how an economy will perform - a judgement at its most basic on how a million different decisions by human beings will play out.\n\nThe rate of inflation is increasing as the value of sterling declines.\n\nJobs are being moved out of the UK and on to the continent in sectors such as banking and finance as businesses prepare for Brexit.\n\nThe UK has, of course, not actually left the EU yet and at the moment is enjoying the stimulus of being in the EU's huge single market with a considerably weaker currency.\n\nThat goldilocks situation will not last and the chancellor told me of his concerns about business investment.\n\nIt was the Austrian economist, Joseph Schumpeter, who argued that shocks to an economy can boost growth.\n\n\"Creative destruction\" may be a little strong to describe the Brexit vote, but innovation can flow when the demands of uncertainty rise.\n\nAfter Britain fell out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism, the precursor of the single currency, many predicted that inflation would rise and economic growth would stutter.\n\nIn fact, the UK economy bounced back, inflation remained in check and the pound rose - after an initial fall.\n\nThat is not to say that all \"dynamic\" shocks have such an effect.\n\nThe financial crisis of 2008-09 has negatively affected economic growth for far longer than most expected as the financial services sector contracted rapidly, liquidity disappeared and businesses and consumers paid down debt.\n\nThat is why it is still too early to say definitively whether the robust state of the UK economy today means the forecasts for economic pain made before the Brexit vote can now be safely ignored.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Professor Ted Malloch is gloomy about the euro's future\n\nThe man tipped to be Donald Trump's ambassador to the European Union has told the BBC the single currency \"could collapse\" in the next 18 months.\n\nProfessor Ted Malloch said he would \"short the euro\" - taking a market position which bets on the value of the currency falling.\n\nHe also said Britain could agree a \"mutually beneficial\" free trade deal with America in as little as 90 days.\n\nAnd that it was best for the US if Britain executed a \"clean\" Brexit.\n\nOnce outside the single market and the customs union, the UK could bypass \"the bureaucrats in Brussels\" and forge a free trade deal, he said.\n\nMr Malloch added that any attempt by the EU to block Britain beginning negotiations with the US would be \"absurd\" and like a husband \"trying to stop his wife having an affair\".\n\nTheresa May will be the first foreign leader to meet the new president when she arrives in Washington at the end of the week.\n\nThe possibility of an early trade deal with America, once the UK has left the EU, will be on the agenda.\n\n\"I remind people that the largest merger and acquisition deals in history are often done in about that time frame [90 days],\" Mr Malloch, a professor at Henley Business School, said.\n\n\"Some of us who have worked on Wall Street or in the City know that if you get the right people in the right room with the right data and the right energy, and Trump is certainly high energy, you can get things done.\n\n\"I think this will cut out the bureaucrats in effect and it won't take two years, it won't take seven years to actually come to an agreement.\"\n\nHe added: \"Obviously there are things to iron out, certainly there are differences and compromises to make, but it can be done.\n\n\"So, there won't be a deal signed in the White House on Friday, but there could be an agreement for a framework going forward where people are empowered to have that kind of conversation behind closed doors and it could take as little as 90 days.\n\n\"That is very positive and it sends a signal that the United States is behind Great Britain in its hour of need.\"\n\nAlthough not yet confirmed, Mr Malloch has been widely reported as being the president's choice for the Brussels role.\n\nThe economist and former deputy executive secretary to the United Nations in Geneva went for an interview with the president's team at Trump Tower earlier this month.\n\nIf successful, he will be officially nominated by the Secretary of State elect, Rex Tillerson.\n\nThe EU has made it clear that Britain cannot enter substantive free trade talks with countries outside the union until it has left the EU, a position Mr Malloch - a supporter of Mr Trump and the Brexit campaign - dismissed.\n\nIf successful, Mr Malloch will be officially nominated by the Secretary of State elect, Rex Tillerson\n\n\"I think it is an absurd proposition and may be a legalism,\" he said.\n\n\"There are going to be all kinds of things happening behind closed doors and you can call them what you like.\n\n\"The fact is that when your wife is having an affair with someone else, you tell her to stop it, but oftentimes that doesn't stop the relationship.\"\n\nMany trade experts say the \"90-day\" proposition will be impossible to execute, as there will need to be detailed negotiations on controversial areas such as food imports between the UK and the US, as well as financial services and pharmaceuticals.\n\n\"Non-tariff\" barriers such as health and safety regulations and the recognition of professional qualifications will also have to be hammered out.\n\nThere could also be a need for some form of immigration agreement.\n\nFurthermore, Britain is not yet an autonomous member of the World Trade Organisation, which oversees the rules on free trade deals.\n\nIt negotiates as part of the EU's agreement with the global trade regulator.\n\nGovernment sources insist that transferring full rights to the UK alone will be straightforward.\n\nMr Malloch said despite the obstacles, Britain would gain a free trade deal well ahead of the rest of the EU and the elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany could lead to a fundamental shake-up of the union.\n\n\"I personally am not certain that there will be a European Union with which to have [free trade] negotiations,\" he said.\n\n\"Will there be potentially numerous bilateral agreements with various countries?\n\n\"I think the prospect, in a changed political reality, is greater for that.\n\n\"I think Donald Trump is very opposed to supranational organisations, he believes in nation states, in bilateral relations and I think that he thinks the EU has overshot its mark.\n\n\"It seems to me as well that Trump believes that the European Union has in recent decades been tilted strongly and most favourably towards Germany.\"\n\nMr Malloch said that the present free trade negotiation between the US and the EU - called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - was \"dead\".\n\nHe also questioned the future of the single currency.\n\n\"The one thing I would do in 2017 is short the euro,\" Mr Malloch said.\n\n\"I think it is a currency that is not only in demise but has a real problem and could in fact collapse in the coming year, year and a half.\n\n\"I am not the only person or economist of that point of view.\n\n\"Someone as acclaimed as Joseph Stiglitz -

Mr Downing immediately retracted his confession but was found guilty at a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.\n\nLegal secretary Wendy Sewell, dubbed \"the Bakewell Tart\" in the press, was left for dead in the cemetery\n\nAfter their son had spent two decades in prison, Mr Downing's parents approached Hale, editor of the Matlock Mercury, for help.\n\nHe faced obstacles at every turn, with police telling him all the evidence had been \"burnt, lost and destroyed\".\n\nA turning point came when Derby Museum staff informed him that the murder weapon - a pickaxe handle - was on display there.\n\nWith Hale's help, Mr Downing won £13,000 from the Legal Aid Board.\n\nThis paid for a modern forensic examination of the weapon, crucially revealing Mr Downing's fingerprints were not present - although there was a bloody palm print from an unknown person.\n\nThe clothes Mr Downing had been wearing, which had been returned to his parents, were flecked with spots of blood which Hale believed were consistent with him having tried to help Wendy Sewell as she lay dying.\n\nTwenty years after the murder Hale reshot scene of crime photographs in Bakewell cemetery\n\n\"I reported developments through the Matlock Mercury - it became like The Archers, a bit of a saga,\" he joked.\n\nBut the articles prompted real-life drama in the form of anonymous death threats and what Hale claims was police harassment.\n\n\"They made my life absolute hell for five or six years,\" he said.\n\n\"I was pulled up for speeding, stopped and searched, victimised.\"\n\nLetters were sent to his home and a brick was thrown through the newspaper's window.\n\nMost seriously, on two occasions a vehicle was driven at him at speed, which he believes were attempts to kill him.\n\nPolice even gave him a mirror on a stick to check for bombs under his car.\n\n\"I was very worried for my family. There weren't threats against other journalists, it was simply against me. It turned into a rollercoaster,\" he said.\n\nBut all of this merely strengthened his resolve: \"If Downing had done it, why should anyone want to threaten me?\"\n\nMr Downing was ineligible for parole under the law at the time because he had refused to admit his guilt.\n\nHale believed this was unfair and took the matter to the European Court of Human Rights, winning the case in 1996.\n\nIt was adopted into law that prisoners who maintained their innocence after conviction could apply for parole.\n\nDerbyshire Dales MP Patrick McLoughlin became one of the Downing campaign's high-profile supporters\n\nBy now, the Downing case was attracting attention from far and wide: \"I became a hero in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Argentina, because I had taken on the British government and won,\" Hale said.\n\nCloser to home, Hale said then Prime Minister Tony Blair asked him for help in setting up an independent body to investigate miscarriages of justice, which became the Criminal Case Review Commission (CCRC).\n\nStephen Downing's was one of the first cases to be looked at by the CCRC.\n\nIt recommended his conviction should be overturned on the basis that the circumstances in which he gave his confession made it unreliable evidence that should not have gone before a jury.\n\nThe conviction was quashed in 2001 with Mr Downing finally walking free in January 2002.\n\nHale and Stephen Downing on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice in January, 2002, after his conviction was overturned\n\nHale was pleased but also disappointed: \"He had got off on a technicality,\" he said.\n\n\"He didn't get his day in court because police were bang to rights. Somebody should have been called to account.\"\n\nThe legal challenge to Mr Downing's conviction focused on the way detectives had conducted the original investigation in 1973.\n\nHe had been questioned without a lawyer and there were serious doubts about whether he had been properly advised of his legal rights.\n\nThese facts were never made known to the jury that convicted him, but they were enough to overturn the conviction.\n\nBut Mr Downing, for his part, was not angry: \"Who would I feel bitter against? The system? I think I would be punishing myself,\" he said.\n\nWith much more to say himself, Hale wrote the book, Town Without Pity, which was turned into BBC drama, In Denial of Murder, in 2004.\n\nIn Denial of Murder starred Stephen Tompkinson as Don Hale and Jason Watkins as Stephen Downing\n\nPolice reopened their investigation, interviewing 1,600 witnesses, at an estimated cost of £500,000, but failed to identify any alternative suspect - although Hale has previously said he believes he has a \"very good idea\" who killed Wendy Sewell.\n\nMr Downing was later awarded £900,000 in compensation.\n\nThe huge press attention the case attracted finally forced Hale to relocate to north Wales.\n\n\"One of the reasons I moved away from Derbyshire was to get relief,\" he said. \"It wasn't fair on my family.\"\n\nJill Dando's killer has never been brought to justice\n\nBut he was soon called on to help with another miscarriage of justice.\n\nBBC Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando was shot dead on her fiancé's west London doorstep in April 1999.\n\nA year later, after interviewing over hundreds of people, the Met Police charged 41-year-old Barry George, a self-confessed stalker and loner, with her murder. He was tried, convicted and jailed for life.\n\nBut there were serious concerns about the police investigation, and in 2004 Hale was asked to get involved.\n\n\"Quite quickly, I found a lot of evidence that didn't match up,\" he said.\n\nBarry George was \"an oddball but not a killer\", Hale said\n\nHe went to see Mr George in prison where he was \"like a lion in a cage\", pacing the floor.\n\n\"How could he do a clinical murder like that?\" Hale said.\n\n\"Everyone that was dealing with him said he's a bit of an oddball but he's not a killer.\"\n\nGunpowder residue on Mr George's clothing had played a large part in convicting him.\n\nBut Hale said there was so little of it that it could have come from weapons armed police were carrying when he was arrested.\n\nThe CCRC referred Mr George's case to the Court of Appeal and a retrial took place at the Old Bailey in 2008, when he was cleared of murder and released.\n\nChed Evans was serving a five-year sentence for rape when his family approached Hale for help.\n\n\"I didn't want to touch it because it was so high profile,\" he said.\n\nBut Mr Evans' mother had serious doubts about the \"rushed\" investigation.\n\nThe then-Sheffield United striker had been convicted of raping a 19-year-old woman at a Premier Inn in Denbighshire in May 2011.\n\nAt the same trial, footballer Clayton McDonald was acquitted of the offence.\n\nHale believed the guilty verdict was an \"emotional response\" from the jury, owing to Mr Evans' \"cockiness\". \"He thought he was God's gift to women,\" Hale said.\n\nHe spent six months working on the case, in which time Mr Evans was released having served half of his sentence.\n\n\"My knowledge and experience meant I could cut corners and had an important point that I knew the IPCC would look at.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A timeline of events leading to Ched Evans clearing his name\n\nThat point was the woman's sexual history and, after the CCRC agreed there was enough evidence to quash the conviction, this evidence controversially formed part of the retrial.\n\nUnlike during the original trial, her previous sexual partners gave evidence recounting similar encounters to the one in the hotel room that night.\n\nIt led to plans to review the law protecting alleged rape victims from disclosing details of their sex lives.\n\nMr Evans was cleared in October 2016 but it left a bitter taste for Hale.\n\n\"In this case it was right - you have got to look at each case on its own merit,\" he said.\n\n\"But the whole thing was a bit unsavoury and not good for the girl herself.\"\n\nHale said at the time he hoped the case did not deter women from coming forward to report sexual offences.\n\nBut, had that evidence been used in the original trial, \"Evans would have been cleared,\" he said.\n\nThe case took its toll on Hales, now 64, and he has decided not to investigate any more miscarriages of justice, focusing instead on writing books.\n\n\"I am proud of what I have done,\" he said.\n\n\"If it wasn't for people like me you'd have no-one to say, 'this isn't the way we should interview people, this is not the way we should treat people'.\"\n\nYet he still insists modestly that much of the credit for overturning the miscarriages of justice he has worked on belongs to others, seeing himself more as a catalyst for change.\n\n\"You have got to have somebody who gets the ball rolling.\"", "The claim: Donald Trump would have won the popular vote in last year's US presidential election had it not been for people voting illegally.\n\nReality Check verdict: There is no evidence to support the assertion that at least 2.86 million people voted illegally.\n\nWhite House press secretary Sean Spicer confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump stands by his concerns about illegal voting.\n\nThe disclosure came after the president was reported to have claimed in a closed meeting on Monday that between three and five million unauthorised immigrants had voted for Hillary Clinton.\n\nAt the end of November, Mr Trump tweeted: \"I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.\"\n\nWhile the president won the election via the electoral college, he actually received 2.86 million fewer votes than his rival.\n\nSo his suggestion is that at least 2% of the people who voted did so illegally, assuming that they all voted for Mrs Clinton.\n\nNon-citizens of the United States, including permanent legal residents, do not have the right to vote in presidential elections. Voter registration requires applicants to declare their citizenship status, and they could face criminal punishment if they falsely claim citizenship rights.\n\nIn addition to being registered voters, in two-thirds of states, voters are required to bring identification to the polls in order to be allowed to vote. In all states, first-time voters who register to vote by post must provide valid identification before voting.\n\nDonald Trump and his team have referred to two studies they say show the threat posed by unauthorised voting; both have been challenged.\n\nA 2014 study published in Electoral Studies found evidence that suggested non-citizens do vote and \"can change the outcome of close races\". Donald Trump referred to this study on the campaign trail in Wisconsin on 17 October.\n\nThe research has been roundly criticised by political scientists who said it misinterpreted the data. The team behind the research used data collected by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), which is a national survey taken before and after elections. The CCES published a newsletter that disputed the findings and said \"the likely percent of non-citizen voters in recent US elections is 0\".\n\nDuring the campaign, Mr Trump also referred to a 2012 Pew Center on the States study that found 1.8 million dead Americans were still registered. The deceased, alleged Mr Trump, were still voting. The report, however, does not make any statements about this claim.\n\nAlthough it is not impossible for non-citizens to break voting laws, there is no evidence that millions of immigrants without the right to vote influenced the outcome of the popular vote.\n\nElection officials, including those from the Republican Party, have said there was no evidence of mass electoral fraud and senior Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan have distanced themselves from the claim.\n\nBut President Trump tweeted from his personal account on Wednesday to say that he would be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Death Valley National Park's Twitter account joined in posting messages seen as critical of President Trump\n\nA US national park's Twitter account has inspired an online movement protesting against President Donald Trump's policy on climate change.\n\nThe Badlands National Park account's tweets about global warming were swiftly deleted after they appeared to undermine Mr Trump's position.\n\nBut if President Trump, who has called climate change a hoax, hoped it would silence his critics, he was wrong.\n\nInstead, it was the catalyst for a host of people and parks to follow suit.\n\nBadlands National Park, in South Dakota, posted a series of tweets highlighting climate science data a few days after The National Park Service briefly shut its Twitter operation following an apparent clampdown.\n\nIt had retweeted photos about the turnout at President Trump's inauguration, suggesting numbers at the ceremony were lower those at President Obama's ceremony.\n\nThe national park accounts were eventually reactivated with an apology message.\n\nIt did not deter Badlands.\n\n\"Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #climate,\" one of its tweets said.\n\nThe posts were widely shared - including by the Democratic National Committee under the hashtag #Resist - but had all been removed by Tuesday evening.\n\nThen on Wednesday Redwoods National Park tweeted about climate change and the role of trees as a carbon sink, adding: \"More redwoods would mean less #climatechange\".\n\nGolden Gate National Recreation Area had earlier posted that \"2016 was the hottest year on record for the 3rd year in a row\", adding a link to a Nasa report on climate change.\n\nDeath Valley National Park's account, meanwhile, tweeted about Japanese-Americans interned at the park during World War Two.\n\nWhile it made no mention of the president, other Twitter users interpreted the message as an objection to his pledge to ban Muslims from entering the country and to restrict the flow of refugees to the US.\n\nAn account called AltUSNatParkService, which describes itself as the \"unofficial 'resistance' team\" of the US Park Service, has also been set up to more directly protest against the president.\n\n\"We believe that today in Trump's America, science and the environment have a place at the forefront of society and policy,\" the account tweeted on Thursday.\n\nIt was quickly joined by Alt Nasa, described as \"the unofficial #resist team of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration\", while Rogue Nasa says it offers \"real news\" and \"real facts\".\n\nThe National Parks Service has refused to comment.\n\nMeanwhile, a media blackout has been introduced at the US's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to the Associated Press news agency.\n\nStaff there have been banned from posting on any of the agency's social media accounts,\n\nThe main EPA account has not posted anything since 19 January, a day before Mr Trump's inauguration.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSouthampton boss Claude Puel has stressed the importance of securing European football next season after his side reached the EFL Cup final.\n\nSaints won at Liverpool and will face Manchester United or Hull, with the winners entering the Europa League.\n\nPuel faced criticism when his side drew with Hapoel Be'er Sheva to exit the Europa League group stage this season.\n\n\"It's important to put this experience for next year in European games.

Lucas ends wait\n\nBrazilian Lucas has been at the club since 2007 but goals are not a regular feature of his game. The midfielder's strike was his first since a 4-1 win against Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League back in September 2010 - 2,316 days ago.\n\nThat was when Roy Hodgson was Liverpool boss and Ben Woodburn, Lucas' team-mate against Plymouth, was just 10 years old.\n\n\"It's that long? I scored last week in training,\" Lucas said after the game.\n\nDespite the lengthy gap between goals, it was a neat finish by Lucas as he rose above the defence to power a header beyond McCormick's reach.\n\n\"He is the top scorer in training,\" joked Klopp. \"I love this in football, everyone can cause problems.\"\n\nClose game, but Klopp rewarded for keeping the faith\n\nKlopp named the youngest-ever Liverpool line-up in the club's history for the first meeting between these two sides - a decision that came under some criticism as they struggled to break down their determined opponents.\n\nThe draw added another fixture to an already congested list for the Reds and, after a tough encounter with Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend, Klopp gave the majority of those who played in the first game a chance to finish the job.\n\nIt wasn't a memorable Liverpool performance as they struggled to put the game out of Plymouth's reach. Origi had the best chance to do just that when Yann Songo'o brought down Alberto Moreno inside the box, but the Belgian, who has not scored since 14 December, hit an unconvincing spot-kick too close to McCormick.\n\nPlymouth are fighting for promotion from League Two. They are currently second in the division and produced a hugely impressive defensive display at Anfield to earn the replay.\n\nAs a consequence, there was an air of expectation in the build-up to the game that the Pilgrims could produce an upset, with excitement for the fixture high throughout the city.\n\nTickets quickly sold out as fans queued for hours to ensure they had the chance to be part of a potentially famous night for the club, while several iconic buildings around Plymouth were illuminated in green and white colours to show their support.\n\nDuring the game, Plymouth fans produced a party atmosphere even after Lucas' goal and their players responded by creating one or two chances to equalise.\n\nAlberto Moreno struggled to deal with the combination of the impressive Oscar Threlkeld and Jervis down Liverpool's left. And it was from there that the hosts produced their best chance in the first half.\n\nThrelkeld got into space to cross low into the box, only for a well-timed Alexander-Arnold tackle to deny Paul Garita the chance to equalise from close range.\n\nJervis then shaved the outside of the post as Plymouth pressed in the second half, and although it was not to be in the end, the club are set to earn more than £1m from the two games with Liverpool. That could provide a significant boost to their bid for promotion.\n\n'We didn't want to be embarrassed'\n\nKlopp was relieved to avoid an upset and praised his young players for stepping up to the challenge.\n\n\"You do not want to feel the embarrassment of losing a game like this,\" he said.\n\n\"I'm happy about their potential and we will do everything we can to let it grow.

Theresa May confirmed that the final deal would be put to the vote in Parliament\n\nFollowing Theresa May's widely anticipated speech on Brexit on Tuesday, you sent us your questions.\n\nThe impact on free trade was the most asked about subject. Below, BBC Economics Correspondent Andrew Walker looks at two of the most popular questions you asked:\n\nThe only thing on the list above that the Prime Minister has said she wants to opt out of is the free movement of people - or rather the free movement of people to work and settle in the UK.\n\nShe is very keen on the free movement of goods and services. She said in the speech that she wants: \"the freest possible trade in goods and services between Britain and the EU's member states.\"\n\nShe does not want to opt out of that.\n\nThe freest possible means what we have today. For example: no tariffs on goods travelling in either direction, mutual recognition of each other's technical standards, the freedom to offer services across borders and more.\n\nIn short, it means the provisions of the single market that apply to goods and services. It would be theoretically possible to go further still, especially in services. The European Commission says there are still barriers and it wants to tackle them.\n\nBut for now, the single market as it is represents the freest we can get.\n\nBut Mrs May seems to accept that we can't have that without also accepting freedom of movement for workers. And that is one of her red lines.\n\nSo once that has gone, the freest possible movement for goods and services will presumably mean something less than the single market, something less than we have today.\n\nHow much less will be a matter for negotiation. In fact, the answer to many questions about what will \"X\" be like when we leave will depend on the outcome of the negotiations. We can speculate but we can't know for sure.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Some of the headlines from Theresa May's vision for future UK-EU relations\n\nThe UK does have some cards which will encourage the EU to lean towards what the Prime Minister wants. Some European businesses have the UK as an important export market - German car makers for example.\n\nDuring the referendum campaign many Leave supporters were keen to point out that the rest of the EU exports more to the UK than the UK exports to them. That, they argued, means they need the UK more than we need them.\n\nThe counter-argument is that EU exports to the UK as a share of national income are a lot smaller than trade in the opposite direction. That suggests UK/EU trade matters more to us than to them.\n\nAnother reason that the remaining EU might want to be cooperative in trade negotiations is that many continental businesses would want to continue to be able to use the City of London as a financial centre.

Dramatic images showed the plane narrowly missing cars on a busy bridge as it came down. Forty-three people died.\n\nIt was later discovered that one engine had malfunctioned and the crew accidentally shut down the working engine instead. It remains unclear whether the river landing was pilot skill or chance, says Mr Waldron.\n\nThese incidents happened in daytime and in good flying conditions, but the situation can be very different if flying at night, as the Turkish airline crew were this week, he says.\n\nThe two-man crew of a Bombardier freighter which crashed in Norway in 2016, experienced \"spatial disorientation\" after getting confusing technical readings about their height and speed while flying at night, the official investigation found.\n\nThey did the right thing but, \"guided by the erroneous information\", flew straight into a mountain, killing them both.\n\nThe Kyrgyzstan government has been quick to blame the Bishkek crash on pilot error, but with debris still strewn across the ground, it's far too soon to make that assessment, says Mr Waldron.\n\nStudying the plane's flight deck recorder black box data will be crucial to finding out what the crew was going through and how it could be avoided in the future.\n\nBut Mr Waldron is keen to stress that despite the horror of such catastrophes, flying remains an extremely safe mode of transport.\n\nOn 30 June 2015, an Indonesian Hercules military plane crashed in a densely populated area shortly after taking off from Medan airport in northern Sumatra.\n\nMost of those killed were on board, but at least 17 people died on the ground.\n\nMedan had had a similar disaster 10 years before, when a Boeing 737 crashed after taking-off from Polonia airport.

Nick Kyrgios was knocked out of his home Grand Slam as he blew a two-set lead and a match point in losing to Andreas Seppi at the Australian Open. Italy's Seppi triumphed 1-6 6-7 (1-7) 6-4 6-2 10-8 in round two against the typically unpredictable 14th seed. Kyrgios was given two warnings, for swearing and racquet abuse, before the 89th-ranked Seppi clinched victory. Earlier, four-time winner Roger Federer held off the challenge of American prospect Noah Rubin. The 35-year-old Swiss, who is seeded 17th after missing the second half of the 2016 season with a knee injury, saved two set points in the third to win 7-5 6-3 7-6 (7-3). Federer will play 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in the third round. Seppi and Kyrgios embrace after their rollercoaster match Kyrgios won a five-set scrap with Seppi on the same Hisense Arena court in 2015 to reach the quarter-finals, but the roles were reversed here. The 21-year-old Australian was in control before losing his temper as he complained of a knee injury midway through the third set. Kyrgios, returning to tennis at the Australian Open after a ban for not trying at the Shanghai Masters ended his 2016 season, was given a warning for swearing and later docked a point for his second code violation after launching his racquet into the ground in frustration. Seppi, 32, took the match into a deciding set and served for victory at 6-5 when Kyrgios played a between-the-legs shot on the first point before winning the game. The Italian saved a match point at 7-8 and drew level again, broke in the following game when Kyrgios sent down a double fault, and then closed out the victory. \"Maybe it was meant to be,\" Seppi said of avenging his 2015 loss. \"I was concentrating on my game and not worrying about he was doing.\" Kyrgios admitted he needed to take his preparation more seriously, having \"played too much basketball\" in pre-season. The Australian, who is wiithout a coach and was booed off by some fans, said: \"I did a couple things in the off-season that I'm probably not going to do next time. My body's not in good enough shape. You live and you learn.\" Kyrgrios said he was likely to pull out of the doubles with his British partner Dan Evans, who defeated seventh seed Marin Cilic in the singles.

If he is to add to his 17 major titles, he will have to pass more testing examinations than that posed by world number 200 Rubin, but Federer admitted he had leaned on his experience against the 20-year-old. \"I have played out here many, many times, that's my advantage maybe,\" he said, after claiming victory in two hours four minutes. \"If I could have signed (a contract) to be in the third round, feeling this way, weeks or days or a month ago, I would have taken it. \"I'm still hoping to feel better and better and better as we go along.\" Federer beat Berdych in straight sets in last year's quarter-finals in Melbourne, but has lost to the Czech in the US Open and at Wimbledon. \"I'm sure he would like to beat me here too,\" added Federer.

Even the World Trade Organization (WTO) has proposed new barriers to imports.\n\nIn Europe, trade negotiations with the United States and Canada have run into difficulty, reflecting public concerns about the impact on jobs, the environment and consumer protection.\n\nThe WTO's Doha Round of global trade liberalisation talks has run aground.\n\nThe World Trade Organization is based in Geneva and came into being in 1995\n\nThe case for trade without government imposed barriers has a long history in economics.\n\nAdam Smith, the 18th Century Scottish economist who many see as the founding father of the subject, was in favour of it. But it was a later British writer, David Ricardo in the 19th Century, who set out the idea known as comparative advantage that underpins much of the argument for freer trade.\n\nIt is not about countries being able to produce more cheaply or efficiently than others. You can have a comparative advantage in making something even if you are less efficient than your trade partner.\n\nWhen a country shifts resources to produce more of one good there is what economists call an \"opportunity cost\" in terms of how much less of something else you can make. You have a comparative advantage in making a product if the cost in that sense is less than it is in another country.\n\nEconomic arguments over free trade date back to the 19th Century\n\nIf two countries trade on this basis, concentrating on goods where they have a comparative advantage they can both end up better off.\n\nAnother reason that economists tend to look askance at trade restrictions comes from an analysis of the impact if governments do put up barriers - in particular tariffs or taxes - on imports.\n\nThere are gains of course. The firms and workers who are protected can sell more of their goods in the home market. But consumers lose out by paying a higher price - and consumers in this case can mean businesses, if they buy the protected goods as components or raw materials.\n\nThe textbook analysis says that those losses add up to more than the total gains. So you get the textbook conclusion that it's best to avoid protection.\n\nMany lower-skilled workers in developed economies feel they have lost out in the drive to globalisation\n\nAnd this conclusion is regardless of what other countries do. The 19th Century French economist Frederic Bastiat set it out it like this:\n\n\"It makes no more sense to be protectionist because other countries have tariffs than it would to block up our harbours because other countries have rocky coasts.\"\n\nThe implication is that unilateral trade liberalisation makes perfect sense.\n\nA more recent theory of what drives international trade looks at what are called economies of scale - where the more a firm produces of some good, the lower cost of each unit.\n\nThe associated specialisation can make it beneficial for economies that are otherwise very similar to trade with one another. This area is known as new trade theory and the Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman was an important figure in developing it.\n\nThe basic idea that it's good to have freer trade has underpinned decades of international co-operation on trade policy since World War Two.\n\nFree trade has been a cornerstone of the post-war world\n\nThe period since 1945 has been characterised by a gradual lowering of trade barriers. It happened in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which began life in 1948 as a forum for governments to negotiate lower tariffs.\n\nIts membership was initially small, but by the time it was replaced by the World Trade Organization in 1995, most countries had signed up.\n\nThe motivation was to end or reduce the protectionism or barriers to trade that went up in the 1930s. It is not generally thought that those barriers caused the Great Depression, but many do think they aggravated and prolonged it.\n\nThe process of post-war trade liberalisation was driven largely by a desire for reciprocal concessions - better access to others' markets in return for opening your own.\n\nBut what is the case against free (or at least freer) trade?\n\nFirst and foremost is the argument that it creates losers as well as winners.\n\nWhat Ricardo's theory suggested was that all countries engaging in trade could be better off. But his idea could not address the question of whether trade could create losers as well as winners within countries.\n\nEconomic theory says if governments adopt protectionism, total losses will outweigh total gains\n\nWork by two Swedish Nobel Prize winners, Eli Hecksher and Bertil Ohlin, subsequently built on by the American Paul Samuelson developed the basic idea of comparative advantage in a way that showed that trade could lead to some groups losing out.\n\nPutting it very briefly, if a country has a relatively abundant supply of, for example, low-skilled labour, those workers will gain while their low-skilled counterparts in countries where it is less abundant will lose.\n\nThere has been a debate about whether this approach fits the facts, but some do see it as a useful explanation of how American industrial workers (for example) have been adversely affected by the rise of competition from countries such as China.\n\nA group of economists including David Autor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology looked at the impact on areas where local industry was exposed to what they call the China shock.\n\n\"Adjustment in local labour markets is remarkably slow, with wages and labour-force participation rates remaining depressed and unemployment rates remaining elevated for at least a full decade after the China trade shock commences.\n\nAt this week's World Economic Forum, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against isolationist moves that could spark a trade war\n\nStill if you accept that overall countries gain, then the winners could in principle fully compensate the losers and still be better off.\n\nSuch programmes do exist. Countries that have unemployment benefits provide assistance to people who have lost their jobs. Some of those people will have been affected by competition from abroad.\n\nThe United States has a programme that is specially targeted for people who lose their jobs as a result of imports, called Trade Adjustment Assistance.\n\nBut is it enough? Lawrence Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute, a think-tank in Washington writes: \"The winners have never tried to fully compensate the losers, so let's stop claiming that trade benefits us all.\"\n\nWhich arguments will Donald Trump be listening to in the White House?\n\nIn any case, it is not clear that compensation would do the trick. As Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor noted, they may lose their jobs and also \"the dignity of work\".\n\nHe is keen on maintaining open markets for trade, but recognises the need to do something about what you might call the side effects.\n\nTo return to recent political developments - Donald Trump clearly did get support from many of those people in areas of the US where industry has declined.\n\nWe don't yet know how he will address those issues when he takes his place in the White House.\n\nPerhaps his threats to introduce new tariffs are just that - threats.

Britain in this analysis has taken the decision to walk away from an institution that's been an engine of peace and prosperity.\n\nHence these remarks from the German MP Norbert Roettgen, who represents Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats.\n\nHe said: \"The UK's two main economic weaknesses are its considerable trade deficit and a big budget deficit. As such [UK Chancellor Philip] Hammond's threats with duties and tax cuts would primarily damage the UK and should be regarded as an expression of British cluelessness.\"\n\nThat dismissal of an option Britain is keeping in reserve - the option of operating as a low-tax base for business if Europe refuses to cut an attractive deal - would be seen in Strasbourg as one weakness in the Theresa May strategy.\n\nFrom elsewhere on the German political spectrum came an alternative strand of criticism - not that the UK was trying to set up a kind of low-tax magnet for foreign investment into Europe but simply that it was cutting ties in too brutal a fashion.\n\nToo much, too fast?

She wants to cut all ties and I don't think that's going to fly well on the rest of the continent.

The worst waiting times in A&E for over a decade. Patients left for hours on trolleys. Vital cancer operations being cancelled. Hospitals across the country declaring major alerts. A humanitarian crisis in the making, says the Red Cross.\n\nBut amid all this what we haven't heard is just how well the health service is coping. Given what it is facing, the NHS and, in particular, hospitals are performing miracles.\n\nHow? Let me explain. The NHS is in the middle of the most sustained squeeze on its funding in its history. Until 2010, the budget increased by an average of about 4% a year once inflation is taken into account to help it cope with rising pressures.\n\nSince then, the average annual rise has been around 1% - and that will continue until 2020. The only period that comes close is the early 1950s when there was a cut in the NHS budget, prompting charging to be brought in for dentistry, prescriptions and spectacles.\n\nAnd that was pretty quickly followed by large cash injections to get the NHS back on track.\n\nThere's nothing like that this time. Instead, the health service is being asked to carry on as normal with fewer doctors, nurses and hospital beds than many other developed countries - as the graphs below illustrate.\n\nNow international comparisons can be difficult. You could argue, for example, that Germany only has so many more beds because its counts long-stay beds reserved for elderly people in its health figures whereas in the NHS they come under the nursing home sector, which is separate.\n\nNonetheless they pose an interesting question: are we simply expecting too much of the NHS?\n\nAnita Charlesworth, a health economist at the Health Foundation think tank and former Treasury official, thinks so. She says the NHS is being asked to provide \"world class access\" without the corresponding levels of funding and staff.\n\nLooked at like that, it puts the recent performance in a slightly different light.\n\nFaced with rising numbers coming in the front door (A&E) and increasing difficulty getting patients out the back (because of cuts to social care services), hospitals in England have found themselves full-to-bursting.\n\nIn recent weeks, bed occupancy rates have hit 95%. Now that may not sound like the definition of being full, but it is well above the 85% recommended threshold for a hospital to work effectively.\n\nAbove this level hospitals start to unravel, patients end up in the wrong places, infection rates start to rise and a backlog of patients builds up in corridors, in A&E and outside in ambulances dropping patients off.\n\nYes, some of this has started happening, but in many respects you would have expected performance to deteriorate even more than it has.\n\nDuring the first week of the year - the most difficult so far this winter - more than three-quarters of patients arriving in A&E were still seen in four hours.\n\nYes the rate of-called \"trolley waits\" - where patients admitted as an emergency are left waiting more than four hours for a bed - doubled to one in five patients. But the number of \"dire\" 12-hour waits only amounted to 0.5%.\n\nA week later bed occupancy rates had risen slightly - and guess what happened? Performance actually improved on many measures.\n\nAsk anybody working in the health service and they will say this is down to the dedication and hard work of hospital staff.\n\nLord Kerslake, chairman of King's College Hospital in London and a former senior civil servant, has described the efforts of staff at his hospital as \"extraordinary\", while the BBC coverage over the past week or so has been full of doctors, nurses and managers recounting how everyone is pulling together.\n\nBut there is more to it than that. The NHS has become very adept at managing pressure points. Daily reports are sent from hospitals to NHS Improvement, a newly-created regulator, about everything from the number of ambulances queuing outside A&Es to how many patients are stuck on trolleys inside.\n\nIt means when there is a problem resources are immediately deployed by bosses at the centre.\n\nExtra managers are deployed, GPs and council care staff geed up and beds at local nursing homes used to move patients out of hospital.\n\nThe result has been that the NHS has been able to - by and large - prevent the situation spiralling completely out of control and into a full-blown national crisis.\n\nThose involved in the process speak in admiration of the way the regulator has managed the situation.\n\nBut make no mistake, this is fire-fighting and, as such, it can only last so long. An outbreak of flu or a sustained cold snap could alter the picture completely.\n\nAnd if it does not happen this winter, what about next? Or the one after that?", "Charles Chen Yidan is putting his technology fortune back into education\n\nA Chinese technology billionaire is offering the world's most valuable education prize.\n\nThe Yidan Prize will award nearly $8m (£6.64m) every year to two research projects that have the potential to \"transform\" global education.\n\nCharles Chen Yidan, who co-founded China's internet company, Tencent, wants to use the prize to scale up innovative education research projects and replicate them across the world.\n\nUniversities, governments and think tanks have reacted enthusiastically to the prize, and leading US institutions like Harvard and MIT have already submitted several nominations.\n\nBut the winner might not necessarily be a household name in education.

Because it went undiagnosed, proper treatment was delayed and his Parkinson's progressed potentially more rapidly than it would have under proper diagnosis and treatment.\"\n\nCanary Speech developed algorithms after examining the speech patterns of patients with particular conditions, including Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's.\n\nThis enabled them to spot a number of tell-tale signs both pre and post-diagnosis, including the kinds of words used, their phrasing, and the overall quality of speech.\n\nFor instance, one symptom of the disease is a softening of the voice - something than can be easily overlooked by those close to us. But Canary Speech's software is capable of picking up such small changes in speech patterns.\n\nFellow co-founder Jeff Adams was previously chief executive at Yap, the company bought by Amazon and whose technology subsequently formed the core of the tech giant's voice-activated Echo speaker.\n\nSome studies suggest our speech patterns can give an early indication of Alzheimer's disease\n\nThe overall goal is to be able to spot the onset of these conditions considerably sooner than is currently possible. In initial trials, the software was used to provide real-time analysis of conversations between patients and their clinicians.\n\nAs with so many machine learning-based technologies, it will improve as it gains access to more data to train the algorithms that underpin it.\n\nAnd as more voice-activated devices come on to the market and digital conversations are recorded, the opportunities to analyse all this data will also increase.\n\nSome researchers have analysed conversations between patients and drug and alcohol counsellors, for example, to assess the degree of empathy the therapists were displaying.\n\n\"Machine learning and artificial intelligence has a major role to play in healthcare,\" says Tony Young, national clinical lead for innovation at NHS England.\n\n\"You only have to look at the rapid advancements made in the last two years in the translation space. Machine learning won't replace clinicians, but it will help them do things that no humans could previously do.\"\n\nIt is easy to see how such technology could be applied to teaching and training scenarios.\n\nVoice analysis is also being used in commercial settings.\n\nFor instance, tech start-up Cogito, which emerged from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, analyses the conversations taking place between customer service staff and customers.\n\nThey monitor interactions in real time. Their machine learning software compares the conversation with its database of successful calls from the past.\n\nThe team believes that it can provide staff with real-time feedback on how the conversation is going, together with advice on how to guide things in a better direction - what it calls \"emotional intelligence\".\n\nCogito's software gives real-time tips to customer service staff as they talk to customers\n\nThese tips can include altering one's tone or cadence to mirror that of the customer, or gauging the emotions on display to try to calm the conversation down.\n\nIt's even capable of alerting the supervisor if it thinks that greater authority would help the conversation reach a more positive conclusion. The advice uses the same kind of behavioural economics used so famously by the UK government's Behavioural Insights Team, also known as the Nudge Unit.\n\nEarly customers of Cogito's product, including Humana, Zurich and CareFirst BlueCross, report an increase in customer satisfaction of around 20%.\n\nAs the internet of things spreads its tentacles throughout our lives, voice analysis will undoubtedly be added to other biometric ways of authenticating ourselves in a growing number of situations.\n\nGoogle's Project Abacus, for example, is dedicated to killing passwords, given that 70% of us apparently forget them every month.\n\nIt plans to use our speech patterns - not just what we say but how we say it - in conjunction with other behavioural data, such as how we type, to build up a more reliable picture of our identity. Our smartphones will know who we are just by the way we use them.\n\nThe big - silent - elephant in the room is how all this monitoring and analysis of our voices will impact upon our right to privacy.\n\nFollow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter and Facebook\n\nClick here for more Technology of Business features", "Coverage: Live radio and text commentary of every Andy Murray match on BBC Radio, BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app. Watch highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nI'm really happy and excited for Dan Evans, who is getting closer and closer to the top of the game.\n\nI've known him a long time. I first met him when we played a Davis Cup tie probably nine, 10 years ago. You spend a week together in the build-up and since then I've seen him a lot at various events.\n\nHe used to have a reputation of maybe not working that hard but every time I have been on the court with him, he has been fantastic.\n\nHe's a natural competitor. Once you get him on the match court, he always tries his best and gives his best effort and I really respect that.\n\nAway from the court, he's a pretty relaxed guy. He doesn't take himself too seriously and he likes to have a good time, but when he's playing, he's focused. He's a very talented player.\n\nI haven't spoken to him loads about his tennis. He has a team around him that is doing such a fantastic job.\n\nIf he keeps doing what he's doing, who knows where he could end up? It's exciting to see how good he is going to be. We still don't know what his limit is.\n\n'We want to inspire kids to pick up a racquet'\n\nIt's a really promising time to be part of British tennis. A number of players are close to the top of their game and that's really good.\n\nI definitely think that having a number of different players, with different personalities and backgrounds and playing styles, is really positive. I hope it keeps going that way.\n\nA lot of kids might watch tennis and hate watching me. But some might love watching Johanna Konta, or Dan, or Kyle Edmund or Heather Watson.\n\nThe more choice there is, the more role models people have to look up to and that is a really positive thing.\n\n'I was worried about my ankle'\n\nThere was a moment of panic when I went over on my ankle during my match against Andrey Rublev. You don't know how bad it is until you get up and you're also a bit shocked about going over.\n\nOnce I got up and started moving around, it was still a bit concerning because it was sore. I'm walking around on it fine now - it's sore, but it's OK.\n\nFor now, it's all about icing it and keeping it elevated. I had an ice bath after the game and I'll be keeping it cool for the next few days. It's all good.\n\nFacing Rublev did give me a few flashbacks to when I was first starting out.\n\nI played Rafael Nadal when I was 19 at the 2007 Australian Open. Going out for the first time against one of the top players does influence the way you play.\n\nI expected Rublev to come out going for his shots, because he had nothing to lose. He got off to a pretty quick start but once I settled down, I played some good stuff.

But inflation also means inflation.\n\nThe pound has repeatedly lurched lower in value since the outcome of the June 2016 referendum. Against the dollar, it is now worth 20% less than it was before the vote, and that fall is unlikely to be reversed in a hurry.\n\nThe basic laws of economics dictate that this will translate into higher inflation: foreign firms exporting goods to the UK will continue to charge the same amount for them in euros, dollars or whatever, but they will cost more in sterling when the prices are converted.\n\nThat goes for finished goods, such as food and drink or clothing, but also for raw materials that are processed here, such as car parts. Global supply chains mean that more than 50% of the components in cars \"made in the UK\" are actually sourced from overseas.\n\nPetrol, too, is likely to go up in price, because oil is priced in dollars.\n\nShopping for clothes is likely to be more costly\n\nSo higher rates of inflation appear to be a foregone conclusion. The question is, how much higher? What will the consequences be? And will anyone gain from this, or are we all set to lose out?\n\nOne estimate of the extent of possible price rises has come from the former boss of Northern Foods, Lord Haskins, who told the BBC that he expected to see food price increases running at an annual rate of 5% by this time next year.\n\nHe was speaking in response to supermarket chain Tesco's recent spat with Unilever, which was trying to pass on its higher costs incurred because of sterling's weakness - though that dispute has since been resolved.\n\nThe cost of food is an important factor in calculating the overall inflation rate, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which is published on a monthly basis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).\n\nSome economists are predicting that the CPI could hit 3% by the end of 2017.\n\nIf overall inflation did climb to the level predicted by Lord Haskins, it could be nudging close to the highest rate in a decade. In recent years, there have been two peaks in CPI inflation, in September 2008 and September 2011. In both those months, it reached 5.2%.\n\nBy historical standards, however, that pales in comparison with the levels reached in the 1970s, when the UK experienced several years of double-digit inflation. The worst year was 1975, during which prices went up by an eye-watering 24.2%.\n\nWe are unlikely to return to those days. But of course, back then, the industrial climate was different, trade unions were stronger and large groups of workers were able to obtain pay rises to match, despite government attempts to impose wage restraint.\n\nNowadays, substantial pay rises are harder to come by, so a lower level of inflation can have a bigger effect on living standards.\n\nIf we have to spend more money on goods while our salaries fail to keep pace with rising prices, then we are all likely to suffer to some degree.\n\nIt will certainly make Bank of England governor Mark Carney's job harder, because the Bank has a 2% inflation target.\n\nIf it goes above that, it increases the likelihood that he will raise interest rates to combat it, thus making life harder for those who owe money, such as on mortgages.\n\nMr Carney has said that \"monetary policy can respond, in either direction, to changes in the economic outlook\" - meaning that the next move in interest rates could be up or down.\n\nHe has also spoken at length of the trade-off between price stability and other economic factors, meaning that the Bank will not necessarily rush to raise rates.\n\nBringing inflation back to target too rapidly could cause undesirable \"volatility in output and employment\", he says.\n\nBut at the same time, Mr Carney says \"there are limits to the extent to which above-target inflation can be tolerated\".\n\nIf you have a student loan, the level of interest charged is linked to a slightly different measure of inflation, the Retail Prices Index (RPI), and is not subject to the Bank of England's decisions.\n\nBut in most cases, a prolonged period of inflation reduces the value of people's debts, making them easier to pay off.\n\nIf inflation were to stay at that 5.2% level for 12 years, your debt would, in effect, be worth only half as much in real terms, because you would still owe the same number of pounds, but each of those pounds would have declined in value.\n\nPensioners may have trouble making their money last\n\nThe outcome is similarly mixed for pensioners. In their favour, state pensions are guaranteed by what is known as the \"triple lock\". In other words, they rise each year by the inflation rate, average earnings or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.\n\nHowever, private pensions are not similarly protected. And to make matters worse, retired people are likely to spend a higher proportion of their income on food and fuel, which are particularly affected by the pound's big devaluation.\n\nPensioners are also more likely to be living off income from savings, and savers are clobbered by high inflation. Just as inflation erodes the value of debts, it also reduces the spending power of money kept in bank accounts, because prices go up and your money doesn't, especially with the ultra-low interest rates paid by banks at the moment.\n\nSo there is no unalloyed benefit from higher inflation for anyone. But some will feel more pain than others, while borrowers will certainly benefit more than savers.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The prime minister declined four times to answer questions about when she had been aware of the \"misfire'\"\n\nUnder the gilt and candelabra of Lancaster House where Margaret Thatcher extolled the virtues of joining the single market, Theresa May has uttered some of the most important words she will ever deliver.\n\nShe has, for the first time explicitly, confirmed that she has decided not to try to preserve our membership of the European single market. Instead she is hoping to conclude a deal with the rest of the EU that will still give business the access it needs to trade with the rest of the continent without barriers, tariffs or any new obstacles.\n\nSince the referendum she and her ministers have simply refused to be so explicit. Some Remainers have argued that she ought to try to keep us in the vast partnership, the risks to the economy are too vast, and while it might be complicated to achieve, the prize is simply too great to give up.\n\nFor months some ministers have privately whispered about complex solutions that might keep elements of membership, the choices not being binary, mechanisms that might give a sort of membership with a different name.\n\nWell no more, the simple and clear message from Theresa May's speech is that we are out. The irony that she has delivered that vow on the same spot where her predecessor swore the transformative value of the single market hangs alongside the glittering chandeliers", "On 20 January, inauguration day in the United States, a nameless, unknown military aide was seen accompanying President Barack Obama to the handover ceremony at the US Capitol in Washington.\n\nThat military aide was carrying a satchel over his or her shoulder containing a briefcase known as \"the nuclear football\". Inside was a piece of digital hardware measuring 3in (7.3cm) by 5in, known as \"the biscuit\".\n\nThis contained the launch codes for a strategic nuclear strike. The briefing for the incoming president on how to activate them had already taken place out of public sight, but the moment President-elect Donald Trump took the oath of office that aide, and the satchel, moved quietly over to his side.\n\nFrom then on, Donald Trump has had sole authority to order an action that could result in the deaths of millions of people in under an hour. The question on a lot of people's minds is, given his thin skin and impulsive temperament, what are the safeguards, if any, to prevent an impetuous decision by one man with catastrophic consequences?\n\nFirst off, it should be said that Donald Trump has previously rowed back on some of his earlier, provocative comments on the use of nuclear weapons. He stated he would be \"the last person to use them\", although he did not rule it out.\n\nOther senior figures are also involved in the chain of command, such as the US Secretary of Defence, retired US Marine Gen James Mattis, But Mark Fitzpatrick, a nuclear non-proliferation expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, says that ultimately, the sole authority to launch a strike rests with the president.\n\n\"There are no checks and balances on the president's authority to launch a nuclear strike,\" he says. \"But between the time he authorises one and the time it's carried out there are other people involved.\"\n\nThe idea of a rogue president taking such a monumental decision on his own is unrealistic. He gives the order and the secretary of defence is constitutionally obliged to carry it out.\n\nThe secretary of defence could, in theory, refuse to obey the order if he had reason to doubt the president's sanity, but this would constitute mutiny and the president can then fire him and assign the task to the deputy secretary of defence.\n\nDonald Trump says the US should \"greatly strengthen and expand\" its nuclear capabilities\n\nUnder the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution a vice-president could, in theory, declare the president mentally incapable of taking a proper decision, but he would need to be backed by a majority of the cabinet.\n\nSo how would it work in practice?\n\nInside that briefcase, the \"nuclear football\" that never leaves the president's side, is a \"black book\" of strike options for him to choose from once he has authenticated his identity as commander-in-chief, using a plastic card.\n\nWashington folklore has it that a previous president temporarily mislaid his identification card when he left it inside a jacket that was sent to the dry cleaners.\n\nOnce the president has selected his strike options from a long-prepared \"menu\", the order is passed via the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Pentagon's war room and then, using sealed authentication codes, on to US Strategic Command HQ in Offutt Airbase in Nebraska.\n\nThe order to fire is transmitted to the actual launch crews using encrypted codes that have to match the codes locked inside their safes.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe US and Russia both possess enough nuclear missiles to destroy each other's cities several times over - there are reported to be 100 US nuclear warheads aimed at Moscow alone. The two countries' arsenals account for more than 90% of the world's total number of nuclear warheads.\n\nAs of September 2016 Russia had the most, with an estimated 1796 strategic nuclear warheads, deployed on a mixed platform of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and strategic bombers.\n\nUnder a programme ordered by President Vladimir Putin, Moscow has recently invested billions of roubles in upgrading its strategic nuclear missile force, keeping an arsenal of constantly mobile ballistic missiles travelling through tunnels deep beneath the forests of Siberia.\n\nAmerica had, in September 2016, 1,367 strategic nuclear warheads, similarly deployed in land-based underground missile silos, which by their static nature are vulnerable to a first strike, at sea onboard submarines, where they are harder to detect, and at airbases, where they can be loaded on to bombers.\n\nThe UK has about 120 strategic warheads, of which only a third are deployed at sea. The Royal Navy always keeps a portion of the nation's Trident nuclear force somewhere in the world's oceans, maintaining what is known as the continuous at sea deterrent.\n\nThe Topol is one of Russia's mobile ICBMs\n\nICBMs travel at a speed of over 17,000mph (Mach 23), flying high above the Earth's atmosphere before descending towards their pre-programmed targets at four miles a second.\n\nThe flight-time for land-based missiles flying between Russia and the US is between 25 and 30 minutes. For submarine-based missiles, where the boats may be able to approach a coast covertly, the flight time could be considerably shorter, even as little as 12 minutes.\n\nThis does not leave a president much time to decide whether it is a false alarm or imminent Armageddon. Once ICBMs have been launched they cannot be recalled, but if they remain in their silos they will probably be destroyed by the inbound attack.\n\nA former senior White House official told me recently that much would depend on the circumstances in which a nuclear strike was being considered.\n\nIf this was a long-term, measured policy decision to say, carry out a pre-emptive strike on country X, then a lot of people would be involved. The vice-president, National Security Adviser, and much of the cabinet would all be likely to be included in the decision-making process.\n\nBut if there was an imminent strategic threat to the United States, i.e. if an inbound launch of ICBMs from a hostile state had been detected and were minutes from reaching the US then, he said, \"the president has extraordinary latitude to take the sole decision to launch.\"", "Theresa May giving a pro-EU speech in April (left) and delivering her Brexit address\n\nTheresa May has said the UK will emerge from Brexit as a \"great, global trading nation\", becoming \"safer, more secure and more prosperous\".\n\nBut in April - before the EU referendum - the then home secretary gave a speech warning of the implications of a vote to leave the EU. Here's how some of the key quotes compare:\n\nApril 2016: \"So, if we do vote to leave the European Union, we risk bringing the development of the single market to a halt, we risk a loss of investors and businesses to remaining EU member states driven by discriminatory EU policies, and we risk going backwards when it comes to international trade.\n\n\"But the big question is whether, in the event of Brexit, we would be able to negotiate a new free trade agreement with the EU and on what terms.\"\n\nJanuary 2017: \"I respect the position taken by European leaders who have been clear about their position, just as I am clear about mine. So an important part of the new strategic partnership we seek with the EU will be the pursuit of the greatest possible access to the single market, on a fully reciprocal basis, through a comprehensive free trade agreement.\"\n\nApril 2016: \"The reality is that we do not know on what terms we would win access to the single market. We do know that in a negotiation we would need to make concessions in order to access it, and those concessions could well be about accepting EU regulations, over which we would have no say, making financial contributions, just as we do now, accepting free movement rules, just as we do now, or quite possibly all three combined.\n\n\"It is not clear why other EU member states would give Britain a better deal than they themselves enjoy.\"\n\nJanuary 2017: \"If we were excluded from accessing the single market, we would be free to change the basis of Britain's economic model.\n\n\"But for the EU, it would mean new barriers to trade with one of the biggest economies in the world. It would jeopardise investments in Britain by EU companies worth more than half a trillion pounds... and I do not believe that the EU's leaders will seriously tell German exporters, French farmers, Spanish fishermen, the young unemployed of the eurozone, and millions of others, that they want to make them poorer, just to punish Britain and make a political point.\"\n\nThe PM said China had expressed an interest in a trade deal with the UK\n\nApril 2016: \"It is tempting to look at developing countries' economies, with their high growth rates, and see them as an alternative to trade with Europe. But just look at the reality of our trading relationship with China - with its dumping policies, protective tariffs and industrial-scale industrial espionage. And look at the figures. We export more to Ireland than we do to China, almost twice as much to Belgium as we do to India, and nearly three times as much to Sweden as we do to Brazil. It is not realistic to think we could just replace European trade with these new markets.\"\n\n\"And while we could certainly negotiate our own trade agreements, there would be no guarantee that they would be on terms as good as those we enjoy now.

My interview with him in Moscow did not end well.\n\nDugin posted a critical blog entry after walking out of his interview with John Sweeney\n\nFirst, he dismissed the chances that the Russians hacked American democracy as \"strictly zero\".\n\nI asked him about the depth of Mr Putin's commitment to democracy.\n\n\"Please be careful,\" he responded. \"You could not teach us democracy because you try to impose to every people, every state, every society, their Western, American or so-called American system of values without asking…and it is absolutely racist; you are racist.\"\n\nToo many of Mr Putin's critics end up dead - around 20 since he took power in 2000.\n\nI have met and admired three: Anna Politkovskaya, Natasha Estemirova and Boris Nemtsov.\n\nBoris Nemtsov was murdered close to the Kremlin in 2015\n\nMr Nemtsov was shot just outside the Kremlin's walls.\n\nI asked Mr Dugin what his death told us about Russian democracy.\n\n\"If you are engaged in Wikileaks you can be murdered,\" he countered.\n\nI then invited Mr Dugin to list the American journalists who have died under Barack Obama.\n\nMr Dugin did not oblige but told me that ours was a \"completely stupid kind of conversation\" and walked out of the interview.\n\nLater, he posted a blog to his 20,000 followers, illustrated with my photograph and accusing me of manufacturing \"fake news\" and calling me \"an utter cretin... a globalist swine\".\n\nSuch is the language of the new world order.\n\nA few days later I watched the press conference when Mr Trump closed down a question from a CNN reporter by accusing him of manufacturing \"fake news\".\n\nUnder Trumputinism, the echo between Russia and America is getting louder by the day.\n\nPanorama: The Kremlin Candidate?

Many readers also described similar encounters on public transport and elsewhere. Here is a selection of their comments.\n\nI was travelling home from London to Newcastle with two children on a busy train. There was one man at a table with three empty seats. I realised he was sitting next to a conspicuous stack of porno mags and leafing through them. Everyone in the corridor had chosen to stand apart from him. \"Mummy!\" - my four-year-old daughter exclaimed loudly as she swung into the empty seat - \"that man has got pictures of ladies with big boobies!\". The porno man looked at her, looked at them, and crumpled. He put his mags in a bag and freed up the space next to him so that we could sit down. Hellen, Newcastle\n\nWhilst on a flight from Germany to Hong Kong a man in the next seat started up his laptop and was oblivious to the fact that his hardcore porn could be seen and heard by me and people in the next aisle. As a woman travelling on my own on an overnight flight, this made me extremely uncomfortable. I raised it with the purser - the man was moved and spoken to, apparently. As for the countless times I've witnessed this on the train, there's been no hope of anyone in authority sorting it out. You either have to move seats, say something and risk being verbally attacked, or seethe quietly until your stop. I'm not anti-men, anti-sex or anti-porn. Yet whenever I've raised this issue in the past, there's always someone ready to call me out for being a prude. I'm not. I just don't think porn has a place on public transport, or in any areas frequented by the general public. Annie G, UK\n\nI admit I've viewed online porn occasionally in the privacy of my own home, but even I was surprised and felt a little uncomfortable when the person on the next train seat began viewing very hardcore porn on his tablet. I ended up moving and informed the guard. He said he would \"have a word\" with the guy, and duly did, at which point the perpetrator (no doubt embarrassed) got up and moved. The guard apologised to me, then explained that this was an increasing problem. Lawrie, Sleaford\n\nThis happened to me on a train to London. I was shocked and offended. The man was watching porn video involving a yoga instructor, on his phone in the seat beside me. I decided to ask the man to stop watching the video because, like the man, I have free will and I could ask him to stop doing something I was uncomfortable with. Of course, he could refuse and I was prepared for that. As it happens, he obliged and actually apologised. It is not the law's role to protect people from offence. If we disagree with views, we must challenge these views and have an open debate, for that is the only way society can progress. Mel Lane, Guildford\n\nl was on a bus in Huddersfield working with a looked after child who was 14 years old at the time. My young person tapped me and pointed out the man sitting in front of us was watching \"disturbing stuff\". He was watching hardcore porn on a large screen. I quietly approached the man and asked him to either sit at the back or please turn it off, otherwise I would have to have very loud words with the driver. He looked horrified when l told him that a 14-year-old had pointed out what he was watching to me. He didn't say anything, he just turned his phone off and shoved it in his pocket. I still told the driver quietly when l was getting off. I left him having a word with him. I felt l had to say something as a professional, responsible adult and a mother. Annabel, Bradford\n\nWhen I was 14, I was on a plane with my dad. I had the middle seat and an unknown man was in the window seat with his computer. He was reading a lot of documents and then started watching porn. I was so shocked and then I got scared, like who does that in a plane? I've never told anyone about this, but I haven't forgotten it somehow. Lais, Brazil\n\nI went to McDonald's one evening with my wife and children. I sat at a large table while my wife and children went to the counter. A group of children aged between 12 and 14 were watching porn on a large iPhone with the sound on. I asked them to switch it off and received a cold shoulder. I insisted since I had young children or I would report them to the manager. Happily they switched it off before my children came. Paul Brown, Glasgow\n\nI was at an upmarket bar/restaurant having a meal with friends. At a table close by a man sitting on his own had his laptop out. I glanced at the screen and the man was searching porn websites full of pornographic explicit images of women. I was rather shocked, particularly as he was making no attempt to be discreet. It felt to me like a blatant case of sexual harassment to myself and my female friend. The waitress agreed to talk to him and he dimmed the screen. I said I would only be happy if it was turned off or we would leave. She went back to him and he closed his laptop and left. In my view a man wouldn't be able to expose himself in a restaurant so why should he be able to expose degrading images on his laptop?

VIDEO: From disgust to it's ok, Woman's Hour took to the streets to find out what you think of watching porn on buses\n\nI was standing on a packed tube train and a man was standing watching a porn movie on his phone. A boy, around 12 years old, realised what the man was watching and moved away. I tapped the man on the shoulder and very loudly asked why he was watching porn in a public place with children around? All he could reply with was \"you shut up\" and [swore at me]. I told him loudly to stop watching porn and switch it off but he refused. He said it was his personal right. Only my 16-year-old daughter supported me and told him to stop. Nobody else joined in or tried to help me. His behaviour was very threatening. I wanted to take his photo but was worried about his reaction. It wasn't until after he left the train at Leicester Square that other passengers congratulated me on standing up to him. I was so angry I reported the incident to Transport Police. They said if they managed to identify him he would be prosecuted for causing public outrage. Sharon Forbes, Chippenham\n\nI am a Traffic PCSO working for the Met Police on Safer Transport. There was a young male looking at a gay porn magazine. As there were young children on the bus I asked him to put the magazine away. He refused and called me \"homophobic.\" I then requested the driver of the bus to pull over and I evicted the passenger from the bus and told him my thoughts. I could have gone down the route of a Section 5 of the Public Order Act - causing harm, alarm or distress. I would recommend anyone to challenge someone looking at porn on a bus, if its causing them distress. Anonymous\n\nI was on an overland train and a man, about 25 years old and wearing a hoodie, was watching porn on his mobile as we waited for the train to depart. The speaker was turned up and it was obvious from the sounds that it was a man and woman having sex. The young man appeared to be oblivious to the rest of us. Two women got up and moved to the next carriage. None of us said anything, it was obvious looking around that most of us felt considerable discomfort. The train departed and as the sound of the tracks and its engine increased, he turned up the volume on his mobile.

Now it is a completely new relationship and there is no animosity.\n\n\"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.\"\n\nBBC Sport revealed on Monday that Bottas had signed a one-year contract, with options to extend it into subsequent seasons.\n\nWolff 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.\n\n\"We wouldn't have chosen Valtteri if we thought that he was not good enough to continue with the team,\" said Wolff.\n\n\"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.\n\n\"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.\"", "With only five weeks to go, it looks like the Brit Awards have no host.\n\nCanadian crooner Michael Buble was due to present - but that's been in doubt since his three-year-old son Noah was diagnosed with cancer last year.\n\nAt the time, the distraught singer cancelled all future engagements, saying he was determined to focus on caring for his eldest child.\n\nIt was hoped he'd be able to return for the Brit Awards, but media reports are suggesting he's pulled out for good - and understandably so.\n\nSo, who could take the helm at the O2 Arena on 22 February? Here are a few suggestions...\n\nAnt (stands on the left, a bit wacky), and Dec (stands on the right, giggles) were hardly at their best when they hosted the Brits last year.\n\nThe nadir was the moment when Ant \"mistakenly\" appeared on stage in a dress. Because a man in a dress is hilarious, right?\n\nComing so soon after a video tribute to androgyny-embracing pop lizard David Bowie, it felt particularly dated.\n\nBut with a better scriptwriter they're a safe pair of hands - and, crucially, able to draw a big audience.\n\nBack in 2008 when Katy Perry was a relatively new and untested pop star, she took the helm of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool and totally stole the show.\n\nCheeky and energetic, she kept the event moving at a frenetic pace, racing through 10 costume changes and more than a few memorable moments. \"Girls. Just a reminder,\" she said, while riding on top of a giant banana. \"It's not how big the banana is - it's how you sit on it.\"\n\nWith new music to promote in 2017, could the star be coaxed into a repeat performance?\n\nIf only so they can go: \"On your marks, get set, DRAKE!\"\n\nBy hiring Michael Buble, the Brits were making a statement of intent: we want some showbiz, and we want a host a global audience will recognise. Adele is one of the only other stars that fits the bill.\n\nIn many ways, Adele is the Brits. From the stop-you-in-your-tracks performance of Someone Like You to the moment last year when she tearfully accepted an award from Tim Peake in outer space.\n\nShe's funny, she's charismatic, and there's 0% chance she'll do it. Which will be a relief for the person who works the bleep button.\n\nHe's already winning the Brits Icon Award, so they won't need to book an extra cab.\n\nHis propensity to go off-script might cause organisers a few headaches - but a double-header with his bff Olly Murs would be worth tuning in for.\n\nBefore he swanned off to become a US chat show host, Corden presented the Brits five times (including a stint with Kylie in 2009). He stood down three years ago, telling the Radio Times he didn't want to outstay his welcome.\n\n\"There are award shows where it actually becomes a plus that it's hosted by the same person,\" he said. \"But the Brits should always have an energy about them that is fresh and new and exciting.\"\n\nBut imagine if the whole Brits ceremony was an extended episode of Carpool Karaoke? No pizzazz, no fireworks, no music industry \"suits\" - just a rotating cast of megastars in the passenger seat, with Corden fishing the occasional trophy out of his glove compartment.\n\nTV Gold.

Amol Rajan reports on the launch of the Westmonster website\n\nArron Banks, the former UKIP donor who bankrolled the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, is making a move into the media sector by backing an anti-establishment news website.\n\nI can reveal that Westmonster is co-owned by Michael Heaver, former press adviser to Nigel Farage. The 27-year-old, who together with Mr Banks will own 50% of the website, will edit it day to day.\n\nModelled on the Drudge Report, the American aggregator site that generates huge traffic, Westmonster will be powered by the social media reach of Leave.EU, the campaign to which Mr Banks gave close to £7m - the largest donation in British political history.\n\nLeave.EU has nearly 800,000 followers on Facebook and Mr Heaver believes he can use that base to generate substantial traffic from day one.\n\nWestmonster will publish some original news, and Mr Heaver hopes to enlist more celebrity writers than backbench MPs.\n\nThe site will launch with an article from Nigel Farage, and Mr Heaver is open about wanting to ape the opinionated, anti-establishment, highly provocative tone of Breitbart.\n\nThis launch is significant for several reasons. It shows that the anti-establishment media which helped to power the campaign of Donald Trump is coming to Britain.\n\nIt's no coincidence that Westmonster is launching the day before Mr Trump's inauguration - an event that will be attended, almost alone among Brits, by Nigel Farage, Arron Banks, and Mr Banks's business associate Andy Wigmore, who are together hosting a celebratory party on Saturday night in a hotel across the road from the White House.\n\nBanks has booked out an entire floor of the Hay-Adams Hotel on Saturday night, and - logistics permitting - the plan is for the new President to attend, along with his close friend the Governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant.\n\nIt also marks a significant acceleration of Mr Banks's involvement in British public life.\n\nI spent time with him in the nondescript offices of his insurance company on the edge of Bristol on Tuesday, with a Premier Inn on one side and the M4-M5 junction on the other.\n\nArron Banks donated millions to the Brexit campaign\n\nHe is an extremely intriguing character, as this superb profile for Radio 4 pointed out.\n\nHe tweets vigorously and his politics do not fit into the anachronistic right-left spectrum through which so much of Westminster is still naively interpreted.\n\nFor instance, he favours nationalisation of Britain's railways and some utilities over their present near-monopoly status, harbours a visceral hatred of many Tories, and has had several conversations with Labour MPs about wooing them over to the populist Momentum-style movement that he intends to launch in the coming months.\n\nI also revealed in December that he has expressed interest in more traditional media - that is, The Daily Telegraph.\n\nNow, as I put to him yesterday, he has become Britain's latest media baron. He helps to show how the rise of digital media has not so much blurred the distinction between media and politics as abolished it; how the culture wars raging in the US are being imported here; and how traditional media - including the BBC - face ferocious competition like never before.\n\nWatch my report for Wednesday's BBC News at Ten.", "A 200-tonne ice carousel has been created on a frozen bay in Helsinki.

Family members said he never mentioned the watch he had left in the hands of a stranger.\n\nAmong those to come forward in response to the museum's appeal for information were his granddaughter Cath Muir and nephew Dr Ernie Worrall, who did not know each other.\n\nMs Muir said: \"What a surprise it was when by husband told me there was an appeal for information on my grandfather. I remember him as a child. He was very badly burned when the Athenia was attacked and had many skin grafts on his face and legs. He told us that they were his maps of the world.\n\n\"After returning from Galway he was pensioned out of the Merchant Navy due to the injuries he sustained, but he returned to sea to serve in the war, he felt it was his duty to do so, but that meant he had to forgo part of his pension. After the war he worked as a hospital porter in Law Hospital, Lanarkshire.\n\n\"I am indebted to Gerry for keeping my grandfather's watch safe all these years and I look forward to bringing my own grandchildren to Riverside to see it on display soon.\"\n\nThe seaman's nephew, Dr Worrall, added: \"I was made aware of Riverside's search for my uncle Sid. My father had told me all about him being caught up in the torpedoing of the Athenia.\n\n\"A day or so after the sinking, my grandmother's neighbour was at the cinema and saw on the Pathe newsreel that night my uncle being landed as a survivor in Galway. At the end of the picture show she told my grandmother, who at that point would have been unaware whether her son had been killed or had been rescued.\n\n\"My grandmother hot-footed it down to the cinema just as the manager was closing up for the night and he kindly opened up and re-ran the newsreel for her while she sat in this empty cinema and was able to be reassured that he was indeed alive.\"\n\nHe added: \"Not only has Emily's detective work allowed me to learn more about my family's history, it has put me in touch with Cath and family I didn't know before.\"\n\nRob Hutchinson, who gifted the watch to the Riverside, said: \"I am delighted that the museum has been able to draw together the two ends of this very long story.\n\n\"I look forward to one day seeing the museum's display and possibly meeting Sid's family. My father would have been so pleased.\"\n\nThe watch will go on display as part of an updated SS Athenia exhibition at the Riverside which is expected to open in summer 2017.\n\nCurator Emily Malcolm said: \"It is wonderful to welcome Cath and Ernie to Riverside, to show them Sid's watch and to introduce them to Rob in Canada. I am so pleased they got in touch.\n\n\"We are delighted the family is happy to help Glasgow Museums complete Sid's story and put the watch on display.

The prime minister says she does not want to replicate any existing agreements. There is a limit to what the government will be able to achieve in the negotiations if it is not prepared to impose the EU's tariffs on non-EU countries.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May announced on Tuesday that the UK would definitely not continue to be a full member of the customs union because that would prevent trade deals being negotiated with non-EU countries.\n\nBut she said that she did want to reach some sort of customs agreement with the EU.\n\n\"Whether that means we must reach a completely new customs agreement, become an associate member of the customs union in some way or remain a signatory to some elements of it, I hold no preconceived position,\" she said.\n\nThe EU customs union is a trade agreement between European countries that they will not impose tariffs (taxes on imports) on each other's goods and agree to impose common external tariffs on goods from other countries outside the customs union.\n\nIt means that once a product is inside the customs zone it can be transported without customs checks to any other country in the union.\n\nMrs May specified that there were two parts of the customs union that she could not accept.\n\nOne of them was the common external tariff, because having to impose the tariff would get in the way of free trade agreements outside the EU.\n\nThe other was the common commercial policy, which is the part of the EU treaties that sets out the principles for EU trade, including that it is the EU that sets external tariffs and negotiates trade deals, rather than individual member states.\n\nThe customs union is made up of the 28 EU members states and Monaco.\n\nThe EU also has separate customs union agreements with Turkey, Andorra and San Marino.\n\nThat means Turkey has to impose the common external tariff and meet EU regulations on its industrial products, but not its unprocessed agricultural ones.\n\nSo when Turkey negotiates trade agreements with other countries, it still has to impose the EU's external tariff on industrial products and processed agricultural products (unless those countries also have trade deals with the EU).\n\nIt's also a one-sided agreement, with non-EU countries that have free trade agreements with the EU automatically getting access to Turkish markets although Turkey does not get access to theirs.\n\nAnd it means that on the products covered by the agreement, Turkey must keep to EU regulations.\n\nClearly the EU regulations would not currently be a problem for UK companies, which already follow them, but a Turkey-style deal would mean being bound by future changes to the regulations without having any say in them.\n\nThe question is whether the UK, which has stressed it does not want to replicate any existing agreements, could negotiate a deal with the EU that would allow tariff-free access for some industries to the customs union without getting in the way of the UK's trade agreements with other countries.\n\nTheresa May said she wanted the UK's trade with the EU to be \"as frictionless as possible\", without specifying what benefits she would like to keep.\n\nBut there is a limit to what the UK can secure in the negotiations without agreeing to the EU's tariffs on non-EU countries, because that would mean that other countries could get a back-door, tariff-free route into the EU.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "A

For Beijing it offers another way to sustain its economic growth.\n\nKazakhstan is one of the countries on the route and it was there that Mr Xi first outlined his vision in a speech in 2013 saying, \"This will be a great undertaking benefiting the people of all countries along the route.\"\n\nExtolling the virtues of globalisation was a theme he repeated again at Davos this week.\n\nFor some, this is as much political as economic, offering Beijing the chance to project soft power as well as demonstrating it has the influence to thread disparate nations from Russia to Spain together.\n\nChina is also pushing its version of a \"maritime silk road for example\", by building a $1.4bn port city in Sri Lanka\n\n\"[OBOR] is set to become Xi Jinping's grand legacy,\" says Dr Sam Beatson, of King's College London.\n\n\"Regardless of the returns on offer... the policies will continue to be pushed as a means of seeking to fulfil Xi's dream under his leadership.\"\n\nOne of the other legacies President Xi is trying to tackle is China's pollution problem. While rail cargo is not as green as sea transport it emits less carbon dioxide (CO2) than air travel.\n\nFreight transport accounts for about 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions\n\nThis is the \"first argument when trying to get our customers to re-evaluate their options\", says Johan Ignell, rail freight manager at Swedish cargo firm Greencarrier.\n\nIt calculates that a 40ft (12m) container with 20 tonnes of cargo would account for just 4% of the CO2 emissions it would take to move it by air (though emissions would be more than halved again if it were moved by sea).\n\nFreight transport accounts for about 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it is \"fraught with difficulty\" to compare emissions from different transport modes, says Prof Alan McKinnon of Germany's Kuehne Logistics University.\n\nProf McKinnon, one of the authors of a 2014 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says \"load factor, energy efficiency and power sources all make a difference and can be hard to ascertain\".\n\nChina is now the world's biggest exporter\n\nHe adds: \"While shifting air cargo to rail will certainly cut emissions, container shipping will continue to command a significant carbon advantage over transcontinental rail, particularly now that most vessels are slow steaming to save fuel.\"\n\nThere is also a business case for this emerging trade route to grow. Not least among European companies looking to export to China.\n\nAt the moment there are no plans to run a return train service from London but that could change quickly. China is already the European Union's second biggest export market - though there is an EU trade deficit in goods of about $190bn.\n\nFor UK companies facing up to the reality of Brexit, China is an attractive proposition and the train carries new opportunities.\n\nBrand Avenue is a company that already exports British-made goods including cosmetics and jewellery to China, and chief executive Jody Jacobs says he's exploring moving to rail.\n\n\"We deal a lot in goods which weigh a lot in comparison to their volume [which is] where airfreight becomes expensive, such as cosmetics and baby food.\n\n\"So for us a service which is quicker than sea and cheaper than air is a great middle ground.\"\n\nFor UK companies facing up to the reality of Brexit, China is an attractive proposition\n\nFor established cargo companies rail also offers the potential for growth. Shipping lines have seen profits fall because of overcapacity attributed to the aftermath of the global financial crisis.\n\nThe world's biggest shipping company, Maersk, told the BBC it is investigating \"possible opportunities\" in long-distance rail, though it sees them as supplementary to sea and air routes.\n\nChina is planning another 20 European routes for rail freight, and with the world's demand for consumer goods continuing to grow, all the ingredients seem to be there for rail to help the global economy steam ahead in 2017 and beyond.", "Mona studied at the underground Bahai university 10 years after Shirin\n\nThe largest non-Muslim minority in Iran, the Bahais, are persecuted in many ways - one being that they are forbidden from attending university.

There was no scope to do an MA or a PhD, and there was no scope for employment where her skills could be used.\n\nSoon afterwards, a wave of crackdowns on the Bahai intelligentsia began, with raids on clandestine classrooms and the arrest of many BIHE teachers.

But she never forgot what she came to do, what she must achieve.\n\nOn a dark and smoggy English morning, she boldly walked through the doors of Birmingham University, and announced that she had a degree in religion from an underground university in Tehran.\n\nTo her great surprise, a week later, she was summoned back and was offered a place.\n\nListen to Lipika Pelham's report on the Bahai, The World's Faith, for Heart and Soul on the BBC World Service\n\n\"It was more than a miracle - it was beyond expectation, beyond my wildest dream,\" she says. \"Till today, I feel it was the best reward I received for never compromising my faith.\"\n\nShirin finished her degree in 2006 and left the UK to join her brother in the US, where many of her family, friends and co-religionists have, over the years, found sanctuary from persecution.\n\nShirin (right) and a friend in New York\n\nBut soon another crackdown against the Bahais began, at home in Iran.\n\nIn 2008, seven members of the Bahai administrative body, Yaran, were arrested and charged with among other things, spying for Israel. After a trial in a Revolutionary Court in 2010, they were sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.\n\nAt this time another young Bahai woman, Mona, was applying to university in Tehran.\n\n\"I took an entrance exam at the University of Tehran - they were supposed to send a card saying how and where you should register if you were accepted, and you must write your religion on the card,\" she says.\n\n\"I wrote that I was not Muslim. There was an option that said 'other', and I ticked that box. There was no option for Bahai.\n\n\"When they sent back the card, they said, 'OK, you may register,' and in the place of religion, they wrote, Islam.\"\n\n\"In my belief, you're not supposed to lie about your faith even when facing death. So I wrote back, I was not Muslim. They said, 'Good luck, you can't enter university.'\"\n\nLike Shirin, Mona had only one option - the clandestine university, and it was an unforgettable experience.\n\n\"I remember the faces of all my friends who were coming from other cities in Iran, from far away,\" she says. \"It took them maybe 16 - 20 hours to get to Tehran. Their faces looked so tired.\n\n\"It was really hard. We had one class from 08:00 to 12:00 in the east of Tehran, and the second class from 14:00 to 18:00 on the west side - it was exhausting! Sometimes we didn't have physical teachers, we had them over Skype, who were teaching us from the US, Canada.\"\n\nAfter she graduated, she faced the same difficulties Shirin had experienced a decade earlier - and opted for a similar solution.\n\nIn 2009, she escaped to New York, via Austria, under an international religious refugee repatriation programme.\n\nWhen I met her recently in Joe's Coffee, a lively meeting place for students and teachers at Columbia University, she had just completed her MA in Psychology. She was over the moon.\n\n\"It feels amazing, I can't believe it's all done and I'll even have a graduation! When I graduated from the BIHE, they arrested all my teachers, Bahai teachers. And we never had a graduation day.\"\n\nThe US is home to one of the largest Bahai populations in the world, their presence dating back at least to 1912, when Abdul Baha, the son of the faith's founder, Baha'u'llah, spent 11 months in the country, promoting the religion.\n\nThe BIHE degrees are accepted by most US universities - as Mona's was at Columbia University - and many BIHE volunteers are based in the US.\n\n\"Students and instructors in Iran can end up in jail just for being students and instructors. So they are not only doing something that is hard for them to do, but dangerous to do,\" says Prof Thane Terril, a convert to the Bahai faith who now runs online teacher training courses for post-graduate students.\n\n\"The motivation for the students is like a person in the desert without water.\"\n\nSipping coffee in the café of the former hotel, Ansonia, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where Abdul Baha once stayed, Shirin says that she could never understand what the regime has against the Bahais.\n\n\"Abdul Baha emphasised that the East and West must meet,\" she says. \"I think the collective approach to life is what we think of as being the oriental or Eastern culture, and the individualist approach to life is considered to be Western. And when the two merge, you have a very beautiful culture.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "With just days to go before inauguration, Donald Trump is making life rather difficult for his party's leadership in Congress.\n\nIt could be by accident. It could be part of a plan to establish his independent credentials. Or it could simply be an early attempt at framing Republican policies in terms palatable to his working-class supporters.\n\nWhatever the reason, Mr Trump has staked out positions that are not exactly in harmony with Republican orthodoxy or the policy direction in which the Republican-led Congress seems to be heading.\n\nOver the weekend Mr Trump told the Washington Post that the goal of his healthcare reform plan, following repeal of the Affordable Care Act, is \"insurance for everybody\".\n\n\"There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it,\" the president-elect said. \"That's not going to happen with us.\"\n\nUniversal coverage is an objective President Barack Obama's healthcare reform sought, but never actually achieved. According to the federal government, even with full implementation of Obamacare and its insurance-coverage mandate, the US uninsured rate was 8.6% in 2016 - albeit a 50-year low.\n\n\"Insurance for everybody,\" outside a single-payer government-provided healthcare plan, is virtually unachievable.\n\nThis is why, when Republican congressional leaders describe their healthcare reform proposals, they generally use the term \"universal access\" not \"universal coverage\".\n\n\"Our goal here is to make sure that everybody can buy coverage or find coverage if they choose to,\" a Republican House of Representatives aide told reporters in December.\n\nDonald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan may not see eye-to-eye on universal healthcare coverage.\n\nThe yet-to-be announced plan congressional Republicans are currently formulating is more likely to be a blend of the measures floated by various conservatives in the past.\n\nFor instance Congressman Tom Price, Mr Trump's nominee to be health and human services secretary, suggested a system that leaned heavily on tax credits and an expansion of existing health-savings accounts, where individuals could put aside untaxed money to pay for future medical needs.\n\nSpeaker of the House Paul Ryan has proposed the creation of federally funded high-risk insurance pools that would enrol individuals who couldn't get insurances elsewhere because of pre-existing medical conditions or other complicating factors.\n\nNone of these would come close to approaching universal coverage or even Mr Obama's uninsured mark over the past few years, however.\n\nAs if that weren't enough, Mr Trump also advocated using the buying power of the federal Medicare prescription-drug programme for the elderly to drive down the cost of pharmaceuticals.\n\nWhile this has long been a goal of Democrats, conservatives have opposed the idea for more than a decade. It's enough to make rank-and-file Republicans reach for their antacids.\n\nLooming over this entire discussion is a Congressional Budget Office report released on Tuesday that predicts a straight-up repeal of Obamacare without any kind of a replacement would result in a doubling of premiums in the individual insurance market by 2026, at which point a total of 32 million Americans would have lost their coverage.\n\nMr Trump, in his comments this weekend, has essentially laid down a marker that repeal will be quickly followed by a replacement that will do a better job advancing Democratic goals of lower drug prices and more universal coverage than the Democrats' own best attempt.\n\nIt is, to put it bluntly, a high bar to reach.\n\nIf reshaping the US healthcare system turns out to be a challenge, at least tax reform was considered a low-hanging fruit for Mr Trump and his party. Even here, however, the president-elect has made comments that undermine Republican efforts to achieve legislative consensus.\n\nA key part of the nascent congressional tax plan involved something called \"border adjustments\", which would tax corporations based on their final point of sale and not on where they are based. This would allow the US to give preference to businesses based in the US - one of Mr Trump's key goals during the campaign. It would also raise enough revenue to allow the overall US tax rate to be lowered from its current 35% mark.\n\nMr Trump, however, said the idea was \"too complicated\".\n\n\"Anytime I hear border adjustment, I don't love it,\" he said. \"Because usually it means we're going to get adjusted into a bad deal.\"\n\nMr Trump appears to support a more direct border tariff, not the more complicated congressional work-around. On Monday he threatened European automakers with a 35% tax on foreign-made vehicles sold in the US.\n\nThe problem this presents for both the president-elect and congressional leaders is it runs directly against his party's long-standing free-trade positions - principles many in Congress have campaigned, and won, on for years. They might be able to dance around the issue with border adjustments and corporate tax reform, but Mr Trump seems more like a bull than a ballerina.\n\nIt's possible to imagine that Mr Trump's recent comments were just, to put it delicately, rhetorical missteps and that he, in fact, is actually on the same wavelength as his Republican colleagues in Congress.\n\nThen again, when pressed by the Washington Post on how he could get his healthcare priorities advanced despite an apparent conflict with current Republican plans, Mr Trump dug in his heels.\n\n\"The Congress can't get cold feet because the people will not let that happen,\" Mr Trump said.\n\n\"I think we will get approval. I won't tell you how, but we will get approval. You see what's happened in the House in recent weeks.\"\n\nThat was an apparent reference to Mr Trump's Twitter-based effort to force House Republicans to back away from a plan to weaken an independent congressional ethics investigation office several weeks ago.\n\nDonald Trump says \"the people\" won't let Congress back away from his ideas\n\nWhether he was directly responsible for causing the legislators to change course or simply reflecting popular outcry is open to debate, but the president-elect seems to be feeling his oats.\n\nAnd if it's this way on tax law and healthcare reform - areas where Republicans and Mr Trump have a fair amount of ideological common ground - imagine what might happen when the president tries to advance his more controversial ideas on immigration or trade. Or pushes his childcare proposal, which met with significant opposition from his party \"allies\" pretty much from the moment he proposed them last October.\n\nAnd what's in store if Mr Ryan goes through with his long-sought dream of entitlement reform - despite Mr Trump's campaign pledges not to touch Medicare or Social Security benefits?\n\nCandidate Trump was a political wild-card, willing to buck conventional wisdom and his own party seemingly on whim.\n\nEarly indications are President Trump could do more of the same. As Republicans celebrate this weekend, storm clouds may be forming on the horizon.", "Melissa Dohme, from Florida, was 20 years old when she was stabbed more than 30 times and left for dead by her ex-boyfriend. Against all the odds she survived, though she thought she would never have another relationship. But then, as she describes here, she found love in an unexpected place.\n\nBefore the attack I was a college student working full-time in the reception of a local hospital. My dream was to become a nurse.\n\nI was dating Robert Burton, who I had met in high school. We hung out all the time, texting and talking. He was very charming and funny and kind of like a gentle giant.\n\nI noticed his behaviour changed, though, when I started applying to universities. He became very jealous. He would belittle me and not want me to succeed. He would lie about things and if I confronted him he had an explosive temper.\n\nI tried to break up with him but he told me that, as his girlfriend, I should be helping him, not abandoning him. He said he would kill himself if I left him.\n\nMelissa says Robert was funny and kind when they first met\n\nIt escalated to physical abuse. One day in October 2011, I drove us home as he had been drinking. He said that I shut the door before he had finished speaking and that set him off. He started hitting and punching me. I was able to break free and run away to call the police, who arrived and arrested him. He was charged with domestic battery and sentenced to 10 hours in jail. I thought I was finally free of him.\n\nOver the next couple of months he left me alone. I learned through social media that he had another girlfriend, so I really thought he was over me.\n\nThen, on 24 January 2012, he called me at 2am. He had gone to court that morning for the battery charge and said he needed closure from our terrible relationship and just wanted a hug. If I saw him just one more time he said would leave me alone forever.\n\nI didn't listen to my intuition telling me it was wrong, and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. I took my pepper spray and phone, thinking I could protect myself if I needed to.\n\nAs soon as I walked out there he reached his arms out for a hug, but he had a switchblade in his hand. He flipped it open and he started stabbing me over and over again.\n\nI remember the pain of the first few but after that I went into fight-or-flight mode. I tried to fight back and bite his hand. I was punching and screaming and doing everything I could, but I kept falling to the ground because I was losing so much blood.\n\nA young boy and girl nearby ran over because they heard me screaming, and the girl called 911. After seeing them Robert went and got a bigger knife with a serrated blade from his truck and attacked me with that. He had every intention of killing me. He knew the police were going to come and he wanted to get it finished.\n\nHe left me lying in the road and I thought I was going to die. I just prayed to God to save me and give me a chance.\n\nI was drifting away when a police officer shone his light on me. I felt a rush of life come back to me and I was able to state my name and who had attacked me. My speech was very slurred because I had had a stroke from the loss of blood.\n\nMy last few memories were in the ambulance. It was very bright and blurry and people were yelling and trying to stabilise me. They put the ventilator in to help me breathe and I knew that was a really bad sign. I thought, \"OK, they think I'm about to die.\" They then said they needed to airlift me and they called for the helicopter.\n\nI later learned from the trauma surgeons that I died on the table several times and they had to resuscitate me over and over.\n\nMy wounds were severe. I had a broken skull and jaw. My head and nose were fractured. He had severed my facial nerve, so I had paralysis on the right side of my face. They gave me 12 units of blood and the body holds about seven on average. It was a miracle I survived.\n\nThat time in hospital seemed like one very long day, but I was actually in intensive care for several days. At one point I remember motioning for a pen from my family. I needed to know what had happened to my attacker. I couldn't use my right hand because it had been stabbed so many times, so I used my left to write: \"Dead, alive or jail?\"\n\nMy family told me I didn't have to worry, that Robert had been caught and he was not going to harm me now. I felt very relieved.\n\nHe had attempted to kill himself by taking sleeping pills and crashing his car into a wall but he failed. He woke up in hospital strapped to the bed with the police by his side.\n\nI faced a long road to recovery. Nineteen of the 32 stab wounds were to my head, neck and face so I didn't look like myself. I was missing teeth. My hair was shaved because they had to stitch up wounds on my head. Half of my face was paralysed.\n\nWhen I looked in the mirror for the first time afterwards I just sobbed. I was only 20 years old. It was devastating. However, my faith was strong and I knew I wasn't still here on Earth to be mad about what I looked like. I just felt blessed that I was alive.\n\nI had implants in my teeth and my scars slowly faded. I had nerve and muscle surgery in Boston, which helped regenerate my face and give me my smile back. I was keen to get back to school and work as soon as I could.\n\nI assumed I would be single for the rest of my life. I never thought anyone would want to date me because I was damaged and had all this baggage. But I thought I could still use my experiences to help others. I wanted to speak out to let people in abusive relationships know that they deserved to be loved and respected and valued.At one of my speaking events in October 2012 I was delighted to meet the emergency services team who saved my life. One of the firefighters, Cameron, invited my mom and me to go to dinner at the fire department the following week. I was really excited about it.\n\nAfterwards I couldn't stop thinking about Cameron. I knew that I had feelings for him but I was trying to ignore them. I wondered, \"Am I feeling this way because he was one of the firemen who helped me?\" But the more we talked the more we realised we had in common.\n\nHe gave me his number and said, \"You know we're here for you,\" but I thought maybe he was just being nice. Still, I knew I had to see him again so a week later I contacted him and said I had a thank you card for the team. He said I should pop over to the station. I gave them the card and thought I would then leave, but Cameron and I ended up talking for six hours.\n\nIt felt like we could talk forever and that's when it became clear there was something special here.\n\nWe had different dates, we had a barbecue - we love barbecue in southern Florida - and we went to a shooting range. Cameron showed me how to improve my shooting and I now have a concealed-carry permit. It makes me feel better, that I can protect myself.\n\nCameron was by my side in August 2013 when I went to court to face the man who tried to kill me. When it was my turn on the stand Robert was staring at me. He was trying to intimidate me by staring me down but I refused to look away. At the end of the trial when all the evidence was being shown his head went down to the table. He finally had to face what he did and he realised he had no more power.\n\nHe was given life without parole and I was so relieved and thankful. I walked out of there with my life back.\n\nCameron and I continued dating. I went to St Petersburg College but decided not to study nursing - I wanted to dedicate my life to speaking out against domestic violence, so I studied Management and Organisational Leadership in Business.\n\nA couple of years later I was invited to give the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game, in recognition of my work in schools talking about violent relationships.\n\nI was on the mound and there wasn't a baseball there so Cameron came out of the dugout to hand me one. Written on the ball were the words: \"Will you marry me?\"\n\nIt was the most surprising moment of my whole life. And then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.\n\nI couldn't speak for a moment as I couldn't find the words. It was just really incredible knowing that he put so much effort in and to making this surprise special for me. And I just I felt very blessed and over the moon. Of course I said yes.\n\nHe gave me a beautiful diamond ring that he had picked out and we're going to get married in a few weeks. All the people that saved me, from the first police officer on the scene to the trauma surgeon, are coming.Today I just feel very blessed to be here. I know that the attack was just one day in my life and it will never define me.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at White House press secretary Josh Earnest's last briefing with members of the press to lavish praise on his spokesman.\n\n\"He is a really, really good man,\" said the outgoing president of Mr Earnest, who first joined Mr Obama's campaign in Iowa back in 2007.", "Shelley Zalis says \"trying to be a man is a waste of a woman\"\n\n\"Embrace your inner girl\" is not a phrase you'll hear very often, particularly in the macho world of business where \"manning up\" is more de rigueur.\n\nYet if you attend any major business conference this year, then you're likely to come across \"The Girls' Lounge\".\n\nIt might sound like a name dreamt up by an unimaginative spa owner or an all-female pop-band, but in reality it's a professional networking space for women.\n\nOn the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos - a place where male attendees outnumber females five to one, the space is just being prepared.\n\nA peek through the windows show that it's all white sofas and cushions, some adorned with glitter pink writing. The decor is soft and unashamedly feminine.\n\nLounges at previous conferences have included beauty treatments, such as face masks and manicures.\n\nAside from the patronising use of the word \"girl\", surely the idea that women need a separate mingling space, and such a stereotypically feminine one to boot, is doing little to further the case for female equality?\n\nShelley Zalis - who started The Girls' Lounge five years ago - is unapologetic:\n\n\"This is their boys' club - for women to get to know other women.\n\n\"There are masculine and feminine styles of leadership and we encourage women to find and lead with their strengths. We need both [styles] or we're all the same,\" she says.\n\nMs Zalis resolutely refuses to apologise for using the word \"girl\", arguing the word \"woman\" is too associated with the traditional hierarchy where female leaders conform to male leadership styles.\n\nBeyond Ms Zalis' deliberately provocative and attention-grabbing approach, her point is that women need to take on leadership in whichever way they choose, not emulating the male, institutional model.\n\n\"We have to stop fixing the women. We have to fix our mindset and recalibrate our mindset on equality and understand men and women are all equal. Until society and corporations value the individual strengths of each person we won't progress,\" she says.\n\nAnd in The Girls' Lounge, underneath the seemingly fluffy interior, there's plenty of hard facts.\n\nIn it, for example, there are ten clocks from various countries. Based on a nine to five day, they point to the time a woman should leave work according to the wage gap in the country.\n\nAt the World Economic Forum in Davos, male attendees outnumber female by five to one\n\nThe US clock points to 3.20pm, highlighting the fact that women there earn only 79% of what men earn.\n\nTo make the same point, men in the Girls' Lounge are charged $1 for a bar of chocolate, while women pay 79 cents.\n\nWhile Ms Zalis' initial aim was simply to provide a space for women to feel less isolated at male dominated business events, the Girls' Lounge now hosts serious talks on addressing inequality and has attracted some heavyweight commercial partners including Unilever and Google.\n\nThe Girls' Lounge is part of The Female Quotient, the firm founded by Ms Zalis which aims to advance workplace equality.\n\nThe firm has conducted research for consumer goods giant Unilever showing the extent to which underlying bias is holding back progress on the issue.\n\nThe study, published on Tuesday, showed that not only do an overwhelming 77% of men believe that a man is the best choice to lead an important project, but also the majority (55%) of women.\n\nMore so, men and women overwhelmingly believe that men don't want women in top corporate positions, according to the research, which interviewed more than 9,000 men and women across eight markets.\n\nUnilever changed its adverts last year to make them less gender stereo-typed\n\nUnilever's chief marketing officer Keith Weed said the poll pinpointed how traditional beliefs and norms were still holding back women's progress.\n\n\"Men have intellectually bought into [the] whole area of gender inequality, but acting on it there's still a long way to go. We are holding stereotypes in our head that we fit people into,\" he said.\n\nMr Weed said addressing the issue was not just \"a moral issue but an economic issue\".\n\nThe firm, behind more than 400 brands from Ben & Jerry's ice-cream to Dove soap, last year pledged to remove sexist stereotypes from its own ads.\n\nMr Weed said while it was too early to measure the impact of this change, its previous research had shown that progressive ads were 12% more effective.\n\nErica Dhawan is optimistic about the future of gender equality\n\nYet, Erica Dhawan, a female chief executive of consultancy Cotential, perhaps offers some hope.\n\nIn her thirties, she says she identifies herself as part of several groups: a millennial, an Indian American, and has never thought there's anything that either women or men could do better.\n\n\"We can't solve age old problems with old solutions. We need to redefine inclusion in today's modern world and by bringing new perspectives we can improve gender equality. I'm extremely optimistic I believe we need to broaden the conversation.\n\nMs Zalis also believes the new corporations which have emerged in the past couple of decades, such as the tech giants such as Facebook and Google, could help to adjust the balance.\n\n\"Most traditional corporations were founded over 100 years ago when women weren't in the workplace. Newer firms have equality in their DNA,\" she says.\n\nHopefully that heralds a future where there will be no need for a girls or boys club but just clubs.", "Last updated on .From the section Golf\n\nEurope's Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn will have four wildcard picks for his team in 2018.\n\nThe increase from three is among several changes the European Tour has made to its qualifying criteria for the event at Le Golf National in France.\n\nTournaments in the latter half of the season will carry weighted points, helping in-form players to qualify.\n\nPlayers will also only have to play four tournaments instead of five to retain their Tour membership.\n\nOnly European Tour members can be selected for the Ryder Cup.\n\nThe 12-man European team for next year's competition will comprise the first four players from the European points list, the leading four players from the world points list and four captain's picks.\n\nThe qualifying process for the event - to take place from 28-30 September - will begin from the Czech Masters in Prague in August this year.\n\nThe changes were announced following a meeting of the European Tour's Tournament Committee in Abu Dhabi.\n\nBjorn said: \"I am delighted the committee passed these regulations, which I believe will considerably benefit the European Ryder Cup team in 2018 without compromising the strength or importance of the European Tour.\"\n\nThe United States added a fourth wildcard pick for last year's event, when they ended a run of three successive European victories by winning 17-11 at Hazeltine.\n\nThomas Bjorn appears to have found a delicate formula that benefits both his team and the European Tour.\n\nThe extra wildcard pick increases pressure on the captain's shoulders, but makes it less likely that a big name player misses out.\n\nThis was the danger once it was decided that events elsewhere that coincide with the new Rolex Series tournaments on the European Tour will not count for Ryder Cup qualification.\n\nIt is a move that encourages Tour stars to compete in events such as the BMW PGA Championship, French, Irish and Scottish Opens rather than chase FedEx Cup points on the PGA Tour.\n\nWeighting Ryder Cup points to make them a third more valuable in the final four months of qualifying is also sensible because it will help ensure the players who qualify are in form at the time of the match.", "The CyberFirst competition aims to get more girls to consider a career fighting online crime\n\nTeenage girls who spend a lot of time online and on social media could become the UK's spies of the future, Britain's intelligence agency hopes.\n\nGCHQ is launching a competition with the aim of encouraging more girls to think about a career in cyber security.\n\nGirls aged 13 to 15 will compete in tests that will also cover logic and coding, networking and cryptography.\n\nWomen currently only make up 10% of the global cyber workforce, the agency says.\n\nThe competition is part of a five-year National Cyber Security Strategy announced in November 2016, and will be overseen by the new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).\n\nWorking in teams of four, the girls will complete online tasks remotely on their school computers, with each stage being harder than the previous one.\n\nThe 10 groups with the highest scores will then be invited to the CyberFirst competition final in London to investigate a complex cyber threat.\n\nCyberFirst's winning team will be awarded £1,000 worth of computer equipment for their school, as well as individual prizes.\n\nThe NCSC was set up to be the main body for cyber security at a national level.\n\nIt manages national cyber security incidents, carries out real-time threat analysis and provides advice.\n\nAn NCSC spokeswoman said: \"Women can, and do, make a huge difference in cyber security - this competition could inspire many more to take their first steps into this dynamic and rewarding career.\"\n\nGovernment Communications Headquarters director Robert Hannigan said: \"I work alongside some truly brilliant women who help protect the UK from all manner of online threats.\n\n\"The CyberFirst Girls competition allows teams of young women a glimpse of this exciting world and provides a great opportunity to use new skills.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Living longer may also mean working longer\n\nWill you live to be 100 years old? Even if you don't - it's pretty likely your children or your grandchildren will.\n\nWhile Brexit, China and Trump may be dominating the news out of this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, living longer is a hot topic in the cold and snowy mountain village, and one which many attendees are already grappling with.\n\nCurrent trends suggest most babies born since 2000 in developed countries such as the UK, US, Canada, France and Germany, will live past their 100th birthday.\n\nPut another way, for every 10 years since the 19th Century, life expectancy has increased by two and a half years, according to Jim Vaupel from Max Planck Institute of Demography, who has tracked global changes over the past 150 years.\n\nThat's the equivalent of another six to eight hours every day.\n\nIt may sound great - after all who doesn't want to live for as long as possible - but the reality is we may also be working for as long as possible to be able to pay for it.\n\n\"If we live 30 years longer, then in order to retire at 60 we would have to save five times as much during our working lives.

By 2022 they're expected to make up 36%.\n\nThe shift has already forced the group to change its name. The body used to be called the American Association of Retired Persons, but had to change it to just AARP because its members complained they weren't retired, but still working.\n\n\"People used to think middle age started around 35. Now, most people think it's late 40s or early 50s. Same thing with one's working years. Someone who was 55 or 60 often used to be seen as over the hill. That's not the case today,\" says Ms Jenkins.\n\nShe believes one of the big adjustments will be how to manage the increasing breadth of age groups in the workplace.\n\n\"Years ago, one of the big questions was: can a man report to a woman manager? We've answered that question. Today, a big question is: can an older employee report to a younger manager? I think many organisations are still grappling with that.\"\n\nOf course, increased life expectancy isn't always matched by better health.\n\nChristophe Weber, the chief executive of Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda, says the key issue is how long people are remaining well.\n\nIn Japan, around a quarter of the population is now over 60, and Mr Weber notes that this increasing longevity also means certain diseases such as dementia, for example, are on the rise.\n\nHe says research and finding new medicines to address the issue will be crucial.\n\n\"[People living longer] is a very nice evolution but the challenge is how you finance it,\" he says, adding that the healthier people are, the less costly it is.\n\nAs far as work goes, he says people need \"a soft landing carrier to retirement\", suggesting while older people may remain at work, they're likely to work part-time, or in less hands-on mentoring roles.\n\nBut if even the idea of working part-time when you're in your 70s seems depressing, Ms Gratton has some encouragement.\n\nShe says the fact that you're likely to have to change jobs and retrain several times to remain employable over 60 years offers a natural break to take time out.\n\n\"Take a gap year. Why should it only be the young who take gap years? You could take a gap year at 50, and travel around the world,\" she says.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. What was Melania Trump like in Slovenia?\n\nThe President Burger is presented with a flourish - on a wooden board, surrounded by circular \"dollar fries\" and topped with a yellow crust of cheese \"hair\" which looks as if it might fly away at any moment.\n\nAs tributes to the US President-elect go, it may not be the most respectful. But it is offered with the affection and gentle humour which it soon becomes apparent is a hallmark of Sevnica, a Slovenian town which just happens to be the place where Donald Trump's first-lady-to-be, Melania, spent most of her childhood.\n\n\"We formed the burger so it would resemble Trump a little bit,\" chuckles Bruno Vidmar, the chef-proprietor of Rondo, a restaurant in the newer part of Sevnica.\n\n\"It has hot peppers, because Trump's statements are hot - and it comes with dollar fries because he's a successful entrepreneur.\"\n\nThe owner of the Rondo restaurant designed this burger to resemble Donald Trump\n\nThe presidential tie-in seems to be serving Rondo well: on a weekday morning, the place is buzzing with an early lunch crowd from the nearby furniture and textile factories. Meanwhile a table full of smartly-dressed young women order another of Bruno's culinary creations dreamt up with Sevnica's most famous daughter in mind.\n\n\"The 'Melanija' dessert is made out of sponge, then there's a layer of mascarpone and strawberries. It's light enough for a model - and we have it on good authority that Melania loves strawberries.\"\n\nSevnica is a small place - so Bruno probably did not have to search long to find an authority on what Melania likes for pudding. Or, at least, what she did like when she was growing up as Melanija Knavs in this town of fewer than 5,000 people.\n\nBar the addition of a branch of Lidl on the outskirts, little seems to have changed since she left for Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, as a teenager. The old castle - parts of which date back to the 12th Century - still overlooks Sevnica from its hilltop perch.\n\nThe town itself is a tidy place with new and old sections, sitting alongside the River Sava and surrounded by forested hills. The Slovenian Tourist Board suggests that Sevnica is \"an excellent destination for those who enjoy picnics and outings, hiking, cycling or fishing\".\n\nIf the roads had been less icy, it would certainly have been an enjoyable ride through the trees to Gostišče Ob Ribniku, a restaurant and guesthouse next to a small lake. Inside the traditional wooden chalet, you can chat to one of the people who can shed some light on the future first lady's early years.\n\nSevnica is \"an excellent destination for those who enjoy picnics and outings, hiking, cycling or fishing\" according to the Slovenian Tourist Board\n\n\"We were next door neighbours - and we used to go the same way to school,\" says Mateja Zalezina, who runs Gostišče Ob Ribniku with her husband, Dejan.\n\n\"In the afternoon when we came back we used to hang out in front of the apartment block. Even then she was quite busy, because her mother was a fashion designer and Melania was one of the models for the Jutranjka company that did fashion for kids.\"\n\nMateja laughs at the idea that she could have spotted that her neighbour would go a long way from Sevnica - never mind all the way to the White House. But she says that Melania could not help but stand out.\n\n\"She was really good at school. She and her sister Ines were studying really hard. After school, we played a game called 'gumi-twist', an elastic band game, and she was really good at that. She had the figure of a model - really long legs - and she always won!\"\n\nThe restaurant is offering a three-course \"Melanija Menu\" in honour of Mateja's former playmate. But, like Rondo's eponymous offering, this does not feel like a culinary cash-in, just a low-key tribute, delivered with affection.\n\n\"I'm really happy for her - she's achieved the maximum,\" says Dejan. \"I hope everyone in Sevnica will watch the inauguration. We will be here at the restaurant with friends and will raise a glass to them both.\"\n\nMelania's former neighbour says America's next first lady studied \"really hard\" at school\n\nBack in the old town, beneath the castle, Sevnica's mayor Srecko Ocvirk is not planning any special events to mark the start of the Trump era. But he hopes the publicity will bring the town's charms to the attention of tourists.\n\n\"The first visitors who came were journalists like you,\" he admits. \"But we're now seeing there are rising numbers of tourists. We're also expecting more organised tour groups after the inauguration. Sevnica and the region will become better known because of this.\"\n\nAt the town's primary school, one of the staff has certainly achieved a degree of local celebrity. Art teacher Nena Bedek was best friends with Melania until the future Mrs Trump left to finish her schooling in Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana.\n\nNow Nena fields questions from her students about her friendship with Sevnica's most famous former resident - and marvels at the different paths their lives have taken.\n\n\"It's a 'wow' effect for us and for me,\" she says.\n\n\"She was a reliable girl and a very good friend. But she never wished to stand out - even though she was beautiful and hard-working. She loved to read and draw. She was brought up in a very artistic manner - she knew what was beautiful - due to her mother's job as a fashion designer. I have very fond memories and keep her very close in my heart.\"\n\nAs for the town's various tributes - which include wine, slippers and honey as well as the culinary offerings - Nena believes they are in keeping with the Sevnica spirit.\n\n\"They are very sympathetic and sweet - none of them are bad things - and it's also funny. I think it's still within limits - all in all it's sweet and nice.\"\n\nRather like Sevnica itself, perhaps.\n\nYou can hear Guy De Launey's report from BBC Radio 4's World Tonight via BBC iPlayer.", "Tracey Jolliffe is calling on others to give a kidney\n\nTracey Jolliffe has already donated a kidney, 16 eggs and 80 pints of blood, and intends to leave her brain to science. She is now hoping to give away part of her liver to a person she may never meet.\n\n\"If I had another spare kidney, I'd do it again,\" Tracey tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\nShe is what is known as an \"altruistic donor\" - someone willing to give away an organ to potentially help save the life of a complete stranger.\n\nA microbiologist in the NHS, and the daughter of two nurses, she has spent her life learning about the importance of healthcare from a professional standpoint.\n\nBut she has also been keen to make a difference on a personal level.\n\n\"I signed up to donate blood, and to the bone marrow register, when I was 18,\" she says.\n\nNow 50, her wish to donate has become gradually more expansive.\n\nIn 2012, she was one of fewer than 100 people that year to donate a kidney without knowing the recipient's identity - and now supports the charity Give A Kidney, encouraging others to do the same.\n\nAs of 30 September 2016, 5,126 people remain on the NHS kidney transplant waiting list.\n\nAbout 3,000 kidney transplants are carried out each year\n\nTracey's kidney donation, in all likelihood, will have saved someone's life.\n\n\"I remind myself of it every day when I wake up,\" she says, rightly proud of her life-changing actions.\n\nIt was not, however, a decision taken on the spur of a moment.\n\nDonating a kidney is an \"involved process\", she says, with suitability assessments taking at least three months to complete.\n\nTests leading up to the transplant include X-rays, heart tracing and a special test of kidney function, which involves an injection and a series of blood tests.\n\n\"It is not something to do if you're scared of needles,\" she jokes.\n\nThe risks associated with donating, however, are relatively low for those deemed healthy enough to proceed, with a mortality rate of about one in 3,000 - roughly the same as having an appendix removed.\n\nCompared with the general public, NHS Blood and Transplant says, most kidney donors have equivalent - or better - life expectancy than the average person.\n\nTracey says she was in hospital for five days after her operation but felt \"back to normal\" within six weeks.\n\nAs well as helping to save lives - including through 80 pints worth of blood donations - Tracey has also helped families create them too.\n\nShe has donated 16 of her eggs, allowing three couples to have children.\n\nIt was a simple decision to take, she says.\n\n\"I have no desire to have children of my own, so I thought, 'I'm healthy, why not?'\"\n\nThe next step, she hopes, could be to donate part of her liver - once again, to someone she has never met. But she is aware of the dangers involved.\n\n\"It's a much riskier operation than donating your kidney,\" she says.\n\nThe rate of death for those donating the right lobe is estimated at one in 200. For the left lobe, it is one in 500.\n\nBut many donators live a long and healthy life, with the organ having an \"amazing capacity to regenerate\", as Tracey describes it.\n\nAlmost immediately after an operation, the remaining liver begins to enlarge in a process known as hypertrophy, continuing for up to eight weeks.\n\nTracey will undoubtedly continue to donate for as long as she can - and is hoping to pass on her organs once she dies.\n\n\"I signed up to donate my brain for medical science when I go,\" she says.\n\nBrain donations are usually performed within 24 hours of death, to be used for medical research into conditions such as dementia.\n\nTaking such decisions can be difficult, but Tracey says her friends and family \"accept I'm going to do what I want to do\".\n\nHer reasons for donating organs - whether it be a brain or a kidney - are both humbling and understated.\n\n\"I think it's part of my nature, my opportunity to do something nice,\" she says.\n\nBut the difference such decisions can make to others is huge.\n\nFor information on how to make a living donation, visit the NHS Blood and Transplant website.\n\nWatch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.", "Rachael Heyhoe Flint, the former England women's cricket captain, has died aged 77.\n\nBaroness Heyhoe Flint, vice-president of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday after a short illness.\n\nShe leaves behind husband Derrick, their son Ben, and her stepchildren Rowan, Hazel and Simon.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Johnson had shown once again that he could be \"supremely clever and yet immensely stupid\".\n\nTo some Britons, Mr Johnson's remarks will be seen as colourful but unexceptional language that echoes the popular World War Two film The Great Escape.\n\nTo many of Mr Johnson's generation, these films were part of their childhood and are subject to frequent cultural reference. Former Prime Minister David Cameron has seen The Guns of Navarone more than 17 times and once quoted a line from the film in a party conference speech.\n\nI know one former Conservative cabinet minister who can quote reams from Where Eagles Dare. (Full disclosure, so can I).\n\nYet this hinterland of war films from the 1960s and 1970s, seen by some today as jingoistic, can create a tin ear among some Britons when it comes to recognising how sensitive many Europeans remain towards this period in their history.\n\nThe foreign secretary has form on this. During the referendum campaign last year he compared the EU to Nazi Germany, telling the Daily Telegraph both were attempting to unify Europe: \"Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically.\"\n\nThis caused a flurry of headlines and a social media storm that passed quickly. Yet the impact on EU politicians was lasting.\n\nOne EU diplomat explained it to me like this: \"You Brits don't understand us when we talk about European values. To us they are important because they are not Nazi values, they are not Vichy values, they are not fascist values, not the values of the Greek junta. They are the values of a different Europe.\n\n\"So for that clown to compare us to the Nazis, well, that hurts and will not be forgotten.\"\n\nIn other words, the global conflict from which the EU's forerunner emerged - and was ultimately designed to prevent recurring - lingers long in the mind on the continent.\n\nSo perhaps the foreign secretary might take the advice of Gisela Stuart, the German-born Labour MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, who said she was sure her fellow Brexit campaigner did not mean to be offensive but added: \"For the next two years… just don't mention the war.\"\n\nOr maybe Mr Johnson might remember the last line of the Fawlty Towers episode when a ranting Basil is being led away by the nurses and one of the stunned German guests asks: \"However did they win?\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nThe youngest Liverpool starting line-up in the club's history were held to a frustrating draw by resolute League Two side Plymouth Argyle in their FA Cup third-round tie at Anfield.\n\nThe hosts, whose side had an average age of 21 years and 296 days, had 80.3% possession in the first half but struggled to break down their gritty opponents, with Sheyi Ojo failing to take their best chance when he missed a header from close range.\n\nDivock Origi also had a goal disallowed for a foul on Gary Miller before Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp brought on first-team regulars Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino in search of a breakthrough.\n\nSturridge sent a 25-yard shot just wide, looped a header over and fired into the side-netting - but the Reds could not find the cutting edge to break down an organised and disciplined Plymouth.\n\nCraig Tanner would have been clean through on the Liverpool goal but for a Kevin Stewart challenge as the Pilgrims earned a replay at Home Park.\n\nBoth sides now go into the fourth round draw, which will be made live on BBC Two and online from 19:00 GMT on Monday.\n• None Watch all of the latest FA Cup highlights and reaction here\n• None All the FA Cup third-round reports in one place\n\nLiverpool boss Klopp made 10 changes for the game - including defender Joe Gomez returning to first-team action for the first time since 1 October, 2015 following a knee ligament injury, and 17-year-old forward Ben Woodburn making his first start for the club.\n\nAnd, despite his side enjoying plenty of possession - 87.2% after the first 15 minutes - they could not find the creativity to pierce the banked masses of Plymouth players.\n\nOjo failed to make proper contact with a header from five yards and Woodburn - showing some neat footwork at times - had a shot saved, but chances were few and far between for the youthful Reds, who managed just four efforts on target from 28 overall.\n\nGerman Klopp said before the game he could be criticised if his team selection backfired and, even with the introduction of Sturridge, Lallana and Firmino, his much-changed side could not find a winner.\n\nSuch was the effort and application put in by Plymouth, who are second in League Two, Klopp congratulated their players on the pitch after the final whistle.\n\nThe visitors set up in a 4-5-1 formation and their focus on containment rather than posing any attacking threat resulted in keeper Luke McCormick having the most touches - 52 - of any Pilgrims player.\n\nIt was a team effort, but centre-backs Sonny Bradley and Yann Songo'o epitomised the dogged spirit and endeavour of their side and were key to the result.\n\nPlymouth took nearly 9,000 fans to Anfield and, although they had little to cheer from an attacking point of view with their team managing just three touches in the Liverpool box, they were celebrating at the end and have a replay to look forward to at Home Park.\n\n\"The character and work rate we showed was unbelievable,\" said Plymouth midfielder Graham Carey.\n\n\"The atmosphere has been brilliant and it will be the same when they come to our place.

It sounds like the stuff of a peculiar dream.\n\nBut that's precisely what London-based facialist Su-Man Hsu did. And the actress? None other than Juliette Binoche, star of films such as Chocolat, The English Patient and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.\n\nSu-Man describes the French actress's arrival for her appointment for a facial treatment like this: \"She came... and I said, 'What's happened to you? Stagnating body, sagging, sagging.'\"\n\nUnsurprisingly, perhaps, Ms Binoche didn't speak to Su-Man for the whole of the session. \"I thought, 'OK then, it's got to be something I said, I'll just move on and forget about it,'\" Su-Man recalls.\n\nBut the story doesn't end there. A year later her phone rang and on the other end was Juliette Binoche, in London for work, asking Su-Man to come and see her.\n\nGlowing - but Juliette Binoche and Su-Man Hsu had a sticky start to their relationship\n\nSu-Man recalls that Ms Binoche reminded her of what she'd said and quite how badly it had gone down.\n\n\"I said, 'Why did you call me then?' She said because she tried it in France, she tried everywhere and no-one [was] like me. And from then on we became best friends, we're still in contact with each other and I became her facialist.\"\n\nIt was a turning point for Su-Man. She says that on the strength of Ms Binoche's recommendations her business took off. Other celebrity fans include the actresses Anne Hathaway and Freida Pinto.\n\nIt's a good story to dine out on, but actually it's just one stop on a journey where, in Su-Man's words, \"everything's just emerged. A beautiful accident.\"\n\nSu-Man's parents didn't speak to her for almost two weeks when she said she wanted to pursue a career as a dancer\n\nSu-Man was born in Taiwan and lived in a tiny village until she was 14, in what she describes as a mud hut. \"Outside's raining, inside's raining, and you need to put all the pots and pans [out], otherwise you'd just slip away. And in the summer you sometimes see little baby mice fall from the ceiling,\" she says.\n\nThey had four neighbours and after that there was nothing between them and the next village except rice fields. The family had no car but would use a cart drawn by oxen to get around.\n\nSu-Man was the youngest of 10 siblings and her illiterate parents struggled to support the family. On days when there was no rice to eat, everyone - including the animals - would eat porridge.\n\nOr, she says, they would shoot the swallows living in the roof with a slingshot, and then barbecue them.\n\nSu-Man's route away from her parents' smallholding was to become a dancer - despite her mother and father's opposition to it as a career. She worked in Germany, where she met her British-Pakistani husband, and then in Brussels.\n\nSu-Man was the rehearsal director for Akram Khan's dancers at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012\n\nWhen the couple came to live in the UK, Su-Man performed her final dance in the King and I at the London Palladium, and then embarked on her second career looking after people's faces.\n\nShe didn't, however, say farewell to dancing completely. One of the highlights was still to come - she was rehearsal director for dancer Akram Khan's ensemble at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.\n\nSu-Man was already well-versed in Shiatsu massage techniques, having used them to help her recuperate after an accident at the age of 20. So when she came to set up Su-Man Skincare she developed treatments that combined massage with her own serums and toning products. To start with she made those in her kitchen and tried them out on herself and her clients.\n\nWhen clients began to ask her whether they could buy the products, she took the plunge and ordered 5,000 jars (the minimum order) to sell them in.\n\nSu-Man explains that her technique combines nature and science and is a mix of Eastern skincare, based on prevention of problems, and Western science, which corrects them.\n\nIf you spend just five minutes extra on your face, she promises, it will repay you by looking younger and happier.\n\nThe power of touch: Su-Man Hsu at work\n\nWith this belief in natural methods for skincare, she has no time for customers who go down the artificial route offered by Botox. Her message to those who are tempted is unequivocal: \"You go there, don't come back to me.\"\n\nAnd with a dancer's view of the world, she adds: \"The body is designed to be moved, it's not designed to sit there like a wall. If you can't see your expression when you speak, it's almost like you wipe out your history.\n\n\"You don't want people to know who you are, what's your future, where you come from. That saddens me.\"\n\nAlthough Su-Man's business includes Hollywood stars amongst its clientele, she is keen to stress her belief in not forgetting how and where you started. Her products, she says, are rooted in her background. She takes her cue from the way her mother looked after them as children, using whatever was to hand.\n\nSu-Man has travelled a long way from her first home, but says it's crucial to remember your roots\n\n\"We used rice water on our face, and used flour mixed with egg, things like that, as a mask, or even hair shampoo. We would collect roots from the mountain and we would chop it and put it in the water to wash our body.\n\n\"We used the leftover green tea to splash on our face to soothe it because we were exposed to such intense sun, and discarded water melon, rubbing our face, exfoliating, all that stuff.\"\n\nAnd just to make sure that she keeps all that in mind, almost every day while she meditates Su-Man listens to a track which plays her the sounds of her village at night.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union\n\nSaracens boss Mark McCall fears more Premiership matches will have players sent off as referees start to interpret new guidance on high tackles.\n\nSarries had Richard Barrington red-carded after 10 minutes in their draw with Exeter after hitting Geoff Parling with his shoulder in a collision.\n\n\"It wasn't a reckless challenge and it wasn't a dangerous challenge, it was just an accident,\" he said.\n\n\"It's luck of the draw and you're going to end up with a crazy situation.\"\n\nUnder new rule interpretations brought in at the start of 2017 any contact with the head in \"reckless tackles\" will be penalised by referees with at least a yellow card.\n\nBarrington knocked former England lock Parling out as he supported what was a high tackle by skipper Brad Barritt - who went unpunished.\n\n\"That would have been accidental a while ago and now it's a problem, now it's red card in a match of big significance and it's 15 versus 14,\" McCall told BBC Radio 5 live.\n\n\"In the old days red cards were for reckless, dangerous challenges and we're going to end up with a lot of games 15 against 14 or 14 against 14 for challenges which aren't reckless or dangerous, but are accidental and just happen.\"", "A spate of violence in Brazil's prisons has cast a spotlight on a system which appears to be near a state of collapse.\n\nAlmost 100 inmates lost their lives in the first week of January alone - brutally murdered, the guards apparently unable to stop the bloodshed.\n\nBut how has it come to this?\n\nA crackdown on violent and drug-related offences in recent years has seen Brazil's prison population soar since the turn of the century.\n\nThe prison in Roraima state where 33 inmates were killed on 6 January held 1,400 inmates when a deadly riot started. That is double its capacity.\n\nOvercrowding makes it hard for prison authorities to keep rival factions separate. It also raises tensions inside the cells, with inmates competing for limited resources such as mattresses and food.\n\nIn the relatively wealthy state of Sao Paulo, a single guard oversees 300 to 400 prisoners in some prisons, Camila Dias, a sociologist at the Federal University of ABC in Sao Paulo and expert on Brazil's prison system, told Reuters.\n\nThat means it is relatively easy for prisoners - and gangs - to take control of the facilities. As a result, \"when the prisoners want to have an uprising, they have an uprising,\" Ms Dias said.\n\nKillings are already common within the walls of Brazil's prisons - 372 inmates lost their lives in this way in 2016, according to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper - but this recent surge has been linked to the breakdown in a two-decade truce of sorts between the country's two most powerful gangs.\n\nA lack of guards means prisoners can take control, experts say. Pictured: A riot in 2014\n\nUp until recently, the Sao Paulo-based First Capital Command (PCC) drug gang and Rio de Janeiro's Red Command had a working relationship, supposedly to ensure the flow of marijuana, cocaine and guns over Brazil's porous borders and into its cities.\n\nBut recently they have fallen out - although the exact reasons why remain unclear.\n\nAnd following the government crackdown on criminal gangs, there are thousands of members of both gangs locked up inside Brazilian prisons.\n\nRafael Alcadipani, a public security expert at the Getulio Vargas Foundation think tank in Sao Paulo, told Reuters it means any feud between the two sides on the streets will almost certainly spill over into the largely \"self-regulated\" jails.\n\n\"We see that as soon as we have a gang war, these killings are inevitably going to happen because the state has no control over the prisons,\" he said.\n\nThe army patrols outside a prison in northern Brazil where more than 30 inmates died\n\nFollowing the deadly riots in Amazonas, state governor Jose Melo asked the federal government for equipment such as scanners, electronic tags and devices which block mobile phone signals inside prisons.\n\nHis request illustrates the lack of basic equipment in prisons which house large numbers of prisoners.\n\nHe also said that the state police force was struggling to cope and requested that federal forces be sent.\n\nPoorly-trained and badly-paid prison guards often face inmates who not only outnumber them but who also feel they have little to lose as they face long sentences already.\n\nFollowing the 1 January riot, which left 56 inmates dead in a prison in Manaus, the Brazilian government announced a plan to modernise the prison system.\n\nBut with Brazil going through its worst recession in two decades and a 20-year cap on public spending in place, it is hard to see how the government plans to fund it.", "A wire spool that fell off a truck in south-western Pennsylvania continued down a motorway with cars swerving to avoid it until it came to a stop.", "Icy temperatures across southern and eastern Europe have left more than 20 people dead and blanketed even the Greek islands and southern Italy in snow.", "The Barada river runs through the heart of Damascus\n\nThe flashpoint for Syria's war, six years old this March, has in recent days taken the form of an elemental struggle over water.\n\nThe drinking water supply to some 5 million residents in the Syrian capital, Damascus, was cut on 23 December by the Damascus Water Authority, who say rebels have contaminated it with diesel. Rebels deny this, saying bombing by the government has damaged the infrastructure.\n\nThe historic water source of Ain al-Fijeh lies in the valley of Wadi Barada, 18km (11 miles) north-west of the capital, where a cluster of 10 villages has been under rebel control since 2012.\n\nLocal people joined the revolution early on in protest against government neglect, corruption and land grabs made legal under new state land measures, where whole hillsides were requisitioned for sports clubs and luxury hotels.\n\nBoth sides have blamed the other for damaging the water supply\n\nWater provision to Damascus has been drastically reduced\n\nOn 22 December the Assad government, using barrel bombs dropped from helicopters and supported on the ground by Lebanese Shia militia fighters of Hezbollah, began a campaign to take control of the strategic valley and springs.\n\nThe timing was significant, just days before the announcement of the countrywide ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey on 29 December.\n\nThe Barada Gorge was cut through the Anti-Lebanon Mountains eons ago by the Barada river, which still runs through the centre of Damascus.\n\nToday the river is just a shadow of its former self, diminished for most of the year by drought and pollution to a dirty trickle by the time it reaches the city centre.\n\nBut in earlier times it was the source of the city's legendary fertility, and the reason for its location in an oasis of gardens and orchards known as the Ghouta.\n\nThe river was and still is fed by the meltwaters of Mount Hermon, Syria's highest peak. Mentioned no less than 15 times in the Bible, it retains its snow-capped summit till early June.\n\nThe amount of snowfall in winter is a direct indication of how much water Damascus will have throughout the year.\n\nThe Barada river, known in ancient times as Abana, was supplemented through seven further rivers whose course was diverted by means of elaborate channels constructed as far back as the Roman era.\n\nGuided by aqueducts into the centre of Damascus, the city was fed by a complex network of waterways and channels that allowed water to flow in and out of every house.\n\nSophisticated Ottoman water distribution points throughout the city also allocated water in agreed quantities to the public bathhouses, mosque ablution areas and public drinking fountains.\n\nEven today most houses have a special drinking tap in their kitchen directly connected to the spring.\n\nIn high summer families would come to Wadi Barada on Fridays and holidays, often renting a riverside platform for the day.\n\nRigged up as tent awnings open only onto the river side, they formed an idyllic private arbour where families could relax, enjoying the coolness of the fast-flowing river.\n\nLittle iron ladders were fixed onto the platforms, so that children could climb down and swim.\n\nA swimming platform and ladder used by picnicing families along the river\n\nIn the 16th Century it was along the banks of the Barada river on the outskirts of Damascus that the first coffee houses grew up.\n\nPilgrims would assemble, waiting for the annual Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca to set off in one huge joint caravan, protected in numbers from raiding desert tribesmen.\n\nMany engravings from the 19th Century show scenes of coffee houses on the banks of the brimming Barada.\n\nNear the village of Souq Wadi Barada, huge gaping holes in the cliff above can be still be accessed.\n\nThey are part of the original Roman water system: elaborate tunnels cut into the rock, conducting the meltwaters into the aqueducts of Damascus.\n\nOn sections of the old Roman road between Baalbek and Damascus, inscriptions in Greek, the official language, and in Latin, the language of the soldiers, can still be seen, describing how the road was rebuilt higher up to avoid destruction by flooding.\n\nLatin inscriptions can be seen at the side of the road above Wadi Barada\n\nFor Hezbollah too the battle is a geographical one. They regard this area as their backyard, connected to their Baalbek stronghold in Lebanon.\n\nThe Syrian government claims there are fighters from the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) present in Wadi Barada, to justify its ongoing campaign. Local residents insist there are only Free Syrian Army moderates.\n\nSince both UN monitors and Russian officials have been denied access to the area by Hezbollah checkpoints, the truth remains hidden - as so often in Syria - behind the fog of war, or in this case, beneath the waters of the Barada.\n\nWadi Barada and villages in the valley\n\nDiana Darke graduated in Arabic from Oxford University and is the author of several books on Middle East society, including My House in Damascus: An Inside View of the Syrian Crisis (2016).

James Bartlett takes a look at how Los Angeles remembers the famous murder.\n\nFew people noticed the dark-haired woman when she was dropped off at the swanky Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, but when her torso was found nearly a week later, Elizabeth Short became a household name.\n\nOn the morning of 15 January 1947, Betty Bersinger was walking with her young daughter along a barely developed street in the planned neighbourhood of Leimert Park when she saw what she thought was two halves of a tailor's mannequin.\n\nShort had been cut in two, neatly at the waist, and drained of blood. She had been mutilated, her intestines removed, and her mouth slashed from ear to ear - a gruesome cut known as a Glasgow Smile. Her body had then been washed clean before being dumped in an empty field.\n\nAn ensuing media frenzy followed, thanks to the \"brutal, misogynistic and ritual nature\" of the killing, says Glynn Martin, former Los Angeles police sergeant and historian. More than 50 suspects were interviewed, both male and female - some of whom confessed to the crime. But the murder was never solved, only adding to the crime's mystique.\n\nThere was also the connection to the glamour of the area.\n\n\"She lived in Hollywood, had aspirations to be an actress,\" Martin says.\n\nThe murder became \"a sad cliche - the ultimate warning tale\".\n\n\"A starry-eyed young girl comes to Hollywood, and things go very bad for her,\" he says.\n\nThen, of course, there was the memorable nickname, a twist on the previous year's Veronica Lake-Alan Ladd film The Blue Dahlia, and reference to Short's striking dark hair.\n\nIn the decades since, the Black Dahlia case has inspired university theses, art projects and the name of a death metal band, as well as references in video games and television shows. In 2006, it even got the major motion picture treatment, an adaptation of James Ellroy's best-selling novel inspired by the case.\n\nEllroy himself says he doesn't have any hope the culprit will be found.\n\n\"It's never going to be solved because it was not meant to be solved,\" he says.\n\nKim Cooper and her husband Richard Schave run Esotouric's literary, crime and culture bus tours of Los Angeles, and Cooper says that many people who come on their Black Dahlia tour \"have their heads full of misinformation\".\n\n\"While we debunk the many theories about possible killers, we try to focus on the story of Elizabeth Short as a person.\"\n\nBut even the tour operators can be surprised, like when an older man joined one of their true crime tours, claiming a connection to the Black Dahlia.\n\n\"He told us that he had been a paper boy at the time, and had rushed to be one of the first at the crime scene. It was the first naked woman he ever saw,\" Cooper says.\n\n\"I think it affected the rest of his life.\"\n\nLike the 19th Century killings by Jack the Ripper in London, Short's murder continues to bring forth new theories.\n\nMost recently, Steve Hodel, a former homicide detective, claimed his physician father George was the killer, and also responsible for other notable murders.\n\nA cadaver dog searched Hodel's former home in 2013 and seemingly \"alerted\" for human remains - though, of course, Short's body had long been found.\n\nDuring my research for Gourmet Ghosts, a series of true crime books, I found that many talkative Los Angeles bartenders claim their joint was actually the last place Short was seen alive, not the Biltmore.\n\nSome theorised her murder was the result of a date turned violent, or that the perennially-broke Short left to hitchhike home, a common practice at the time, and got into the wrong car.\n\n\"I was regularly asked about the Black Dahlia on the reference desk,\" says Christina Rice, senior librarian of the photo collection at the Los Angeles Public Library. One woman came in looking for maps from 1947 because \"she was going to use her psychic abilities to solve the murder\".\n\nThe only copy of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner's microfiche for the second half of January was stolen years ago, Rice says, adding Short was just one of many women brutally killed in the post-war years in California.\n\nThe Biltmore, where you can buy a Black Dahlia cocktail\n\nAs soon as the corpse was discovered, the Los Angeles Herald-Express and the sensationalist Los Angeles Examiner made full use of the cosy relationship that all newspapers had with the Los Angeles police department.\n\nAt the time it was common to see suicide notes and bloodstained bodies - albeit sometimes airbrushed or altered, like Short's naked body, onto which photo editors superimposed a blanket - on the front page. Suicide photographs even added arrows showing how victims had taken their final fall.\n\nThe Examiner also added complete fabrications to the Black Dahlia story, exchanging in their reporting the suit Short had been seen wearing for a tight skirt and blouse and implying sexual misadventures.\n\nThe newspaper also deceived Short's mother about her daughter's death, using a ruse about \"Beth\" winning a beauty contest, then flying her to Los Angeles before telling her the real news - ensuring the scoop of a mother responding to the tragedy.\n\nOfficially the case remains open, and today, the Biltmore Hotel serves a Black Dahlia cocktail of vodka, Chambord black raspberry liqueur and Kahlua. The drink, perhaps appropriately, tastes bitter.\n\nJames Bartlett is a writer and author of Gourmet Ghosts.", "Last updated on .From the section Winter Sports\n\nThe International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) has lifted the provisional suspension of four Russian skeleton athletes, including Sochi gold medallist Alexander Tretiakov and bronze medallist Elena Nikitina.\n\nThe Russians were suspended following the second McLaren report which alleged \"a state-sponsored doping programme\" in the country.\n\nThe IBSF said there was currently insufficient evidence to continue with the provisional suspension.\n\nFurther investigations will be carried out by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and IBSF into alleged doping.\n\nThe two 2014 Winter Olympic medallists, along with Maria Orlova and Olga Potylitsyna, will be free to compete at next month's bobsleigh and skeleton World Championships in the German resort of Konigssee.\n\nThe championships were due to take place in the Russian city of Sochi, but it was stripped of its hosting rights by the IBSF in December, following the publication of the McLaren report.\n\nBritain's Lizzy Yarnold, who won gold in Sochi, is due to compete in Germany.", "Set in an animated Manila, 'Saving Sally' has been billed as a teenage love story\n\nIt's a tale of unrequited teenage love terrorised by giant animated monsters in the chaotic streets of Metro Manila.\n\nSaving Sally tells the story of Marty, a young aspiring Philippines comic book artist, played by Enzo Marcos.\n\nHe falls in love with his best friend Sally, a gadget inventor - portrayed by Filipina actress Rhian Ramos - who is also the centre of Marty's universe.\n\nThe story quickly unfolds with stunning cartoons which tell the story of Marty's lonely world.\n\nLike every love story, there are numerous complications and challenges for the hero.\n\nNamely defending the love of his life from a beastly rival and her difficult parents, who take the form of monsters because to Marty, that is simply what they are.\n\n\"Sadly, Marty also has the innate ability to do nothing about everything despite his vivid fantasies of defending Sally from the big bad world,\" described the film's director Avid Liongoren.\n\nMarty often dreams of defending Sally from the evils of her world\n\nWhile it has been described as a \"typical teen movie about love, monsters and gadgets\", the film also touches on serious issues prevalent in Philippine society.\n\n\"On the surface, it's a fun and straightforward love story, with good laughs and visual gags that reference Filipino as well as Western pop culture,\" said screenwriter Charlene Sawit-Esguerra , who wrote and conceptualised the film.\n\n\"But it also touches on darker themes like physical abuse and escapism.\"\n\nSaving Sally's darker themes are mixed in with the teenage love story\n\nAfter an arduous 10-year journey and a series of setbacks, the team's efforts paid off. Saving Sally gained an entry into the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).\n\nThe annual festival serves as an outlet to better promote local talent in the Pinoy film industry. But the MMFF sadly still could not save Sally.\n\nThe humble film was not widely shown in local cinemas.\n\nThe Philippine skyline takes centre stage in this film, which features stunning artwork\n\nIts creators said the answer could lie in the nature of the domestic cinema industry.\n\nLargely unregulated, Philippine cinemas have built a notorious reputation for favouring commercial successes movies like Hollywood blockbusters and \"manufactured\" romance dramas.\n\n\"They pick the films that they think people will watch. So it is more of a perception that since ours is a small, non-studio film, no-one would want to watch it,\" explained Mr Liongoren.\n\nMs Sawit-Esguerra said \"demand\" was often a deciding factor before a film could be considered for screening.\n\n\"Theatre owners here think that local audiences will only watch films starring big-names and A-list stars, produced by major studios. Saving Sally has neither,\" she said.\n\n\"Because of this, many cinemas don't want to take the risk and would rather see how audiences responds to our movie first.\"\n\nSaving Sally earned a festival entry but was not widely screened in cinemas\n\nTo film critic Oggs Cruz, another problem with the film lay in its animation, the very thing that its makers fought so hard to create.\n\n\"While most Filipinos enjoy animated films, the animated aspect in Saving Sally doesn't favour its commercial ability,\" he told BBC News.\n\n\"It is an adjunct of the main characters and I don't think it has any effect in its marketability. Sadly it won't entice children or adults.\"\n\n\"A lot of Filipinos are proud of their heritage but ironically, they would rather watch the latest Star Wars movie than support local film festival entries.\n\n\"It's a losing situation for the film makers whose work will get pulled out for more commercially viable movies that will earn more money.\"\n\nThe show's creators turned to the power of social media and launched an online campaign to save Sally, calling on audiences to contact theatre owners demanding they screen the film.\n\n\"Let your voices be heard. Please help us make noise and reach out,\" read a Facebook post on the movie's official page which drew close to 50,000 reactions and was shared more than 10,000 times.\n\nThousands of curious Facebook users and fans began to show their support for the film by leaving comments and writing posts using the hashtags #ShowSavingSally and #ImSavingSally.\n\n\"It was worth the wait and our money. Great storytelling and amazing animation - good job,\" gushed Dicay Galvez from Makati city who shared his joy in finally being able to catch the film.\n\n\"I cannot imagine the love and passion that went into this film, it may be a typical love story but the entirety of the movie itself is a work of art,\" wrote Ace Antipolo in an Instagram post.\n\n\"Big movie companies in the Philippines just don't put this kind of effort anymore but the efforts of a small group of people who worked for 10 years just to complete this beautiful masterpiece will be cherished forever.\"\n\n\"I guess business is business but I just don't understand why some cinemas saved spots for other movies over Saving Sally. Please show it in Bacolod,\" said Fraire Acupan.\n\nGiven its animation-meets-real life component which plays out heavily, and its slacker hero, Saving Sally has drawn comparisons with popular 2010 geek sleeper hit Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.\n\nBut will Sally see a similar indie cult following to that which Scott Pilgrim enjoyed?\n\nIts makers said the public response \"has been incredible\" and fan demand played a crucial role in boosting the film.\n\nSaving Sally was shown on around 50 screens to begin with, but was expected to close at 86 screens.\n\n\"Theatres have relented to the barrage of messages from Filipino youngsters wanting to see our film,\" said Mr Liongoren.\n\nMs Sawit-Esguerra said: \"Saving Sally surpassed what it was expected to earn, according to Industry experts.

You can watch her tell it here.\n\n\"Nobody thinks that their own child is saying unkind things to other children, do they? I let them go on all the social media sites and trusted the children to use it appropriately.\n\n\"Our form tutor phoned me up during school hours one day to tell me that there'd been some messages sent between my daughter and two other friends that weren't very nice. One of the children in particular was very upset about some of the things that had been said to her.\n\n\"Her friend's mum spoke to me about it and showed me the messages that had been sent. When I approached my daughter about it, she denied that there had been anything going on. It took a while to get it out of her, but I was angry with her once I actually found out that she had been sending these messages.\n\n\"I spoke to her teacher and to the other parents, and between us we spoke to the children to let them know that they can't be saying unkind things and to just make them aware that whatever they do is recorded and can be kept. And they all did learn a lesson from it.\n\n\"I removed all the social media websites from her so she wasn't able to access them for a while and then monitored her input and what she's been saying to people.\n\n\"But it did make me feel angry and quite ashamed that my daughter could be saying things like that to her friends, but she has grown up a bit since then and she's learnt her lesson.\n\n\"You want to trust your children, but they can get themselves into situations that they can't get out of.\n\n\"And as they get older, they look at different things.

As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.\n\n\"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.\n\n\"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.\n\n\"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.\n\n\"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers.\"\n\nTwitter's image has been tarnished by trolls\n\nMany critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.\n\nSinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:\n\n\"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock.\"\n\nShe offered the following advice:\n\n\"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.\n\n\"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created. If it continues, it may be worth seeking additional advice from a teacher or trusted confidant.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Sir Ivan Rogers resigned from his position last week\n\nThe Sunday Times leads with a claim that Britain's former ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, held secret talks with David Cameron before Christmas to warn that Theresa May was failing to plan for the risk of a \"disorderly\" Brexit.\n\nA source tells the paper Sir Ivan fears a hard Brexit \"will lead to mutually assured destruction between Britain and the rest of the EU\" and that the UK will \"crash out\" with nothing.\n\nThe paper adds that news of his meeting with Mrs May's predecessor will fuel \"the fears of her allies that senior officials were in private contact with leading Remain supporters\".\n\nIn The Observer a Canadian official warns that Britain risks a \"catastrophic\" Brexit because the government is so dismissive of the concerns of trade experts.\n\nJohn Langrish helped to negotiate a trade deal between the EU and Canada - a process which took more than a decade - and believes a British agreement could take just as long because of the complexities involved.\n\nHe writes that \"undoing nearly 45 years of integration and shared law will not be pleasant\" and cannot be done in a \"mutually beneficial\" way in the two-year time frame.\n\nThe Sunday Express says the man named as Donald Trump's new ambassador to the EU supported Brexit and believes Britain will be \"moved to the head of the queue\" when it comes to negotiating a new trade deal with America.\n\nProfessor Ted Malloch, a friend of former UKIP leader Nigel Farage who lives in the UK, tells the paper the leverage Mr Trump can provide could offer an alternative to hard or soft Brexit.\n\n\"7,000 Hospital Beds Are Lost Under Tories\" declares the Sunday Mirror, as it cites official figures showing the number of acute beds that have closed since 2010.\n\nIt says government plans to save £20bn over the next five years will mean even more hospital places will disappear.\n\nChris Moulton, of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, tells the Sunday People hospitals \"are at rock bottom\" and can't afford to cut back any more.\n\nNHS England responds that lengths of stay have fallen significantly, with many patients being discharged the same day.\n\nAfter Saturday's warning by the Red Cross about the state of the health service, the Observer accuses the government of a \"woeful\" response to the looming funding crisis.\n\nIt advises Theresa May that a failure to address the issue in her speech on Monday \"will speak volumes about where her true priorities lie\".\n\nFor the Mail on Sunday, it is a \"scandal\" that is unacceptable in \"a country as rich as ours\".

Chris Foxx reports.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017", "A fridge with personality was launched at CES this year\n\nVirtual assistants are everywhere at CES this year - but one speaks louder than the rest. Amazon's Alexa has popped up in a bewildering list of devices including fridges, cars and robots.\n\nManufacturers are clearly interested in making their appliances voice-operable, and many see Alexa as a great way to do this.\n\nBut having Alexa also allows the appliances to gain capabilities, such as streaming music and turning smart lights on and off.\n\nHow did Alexa come out on top and how will it benefit Amazon?\n\nThe firm was quick to notice the potential of voice control following the rise of smartphone apps that could interact with appliances, answers tech analyst Dinesh Kithany at IHS Technology.\n\n\"Alexa's rivals haven't been promoted quite as well,\" he told the BBC, though he noted companies adopting the assistant must think of genuinely useful ways to integrate it into their products.\n\nManufacturers are able to design new \"skills\" for the assistant - meaning the AI is not limited to what Amazon has built in.\n\nAlexa can, with a quick bit of programming, be adapted to lock car doors or tell you when your washing machine's cycle will finish.\n\nPerhaps this is how Amazon has cornered so much of the market - by explicitly designing a flexible AI that allows companies to implement it as they see fit.\n\nOver the last seven years, the world has witnessed the rapid proliferation of Google's Android operating system - now in more smartphones than any other OS by far, as well as many TVs, watches and computers.\n\nPart of this meteoric rise is down to the fact that Google gives Android away for free to device manufacturers - just like Amazon is doing with Alexa.\n\nDespite the search giant having a long history of voice recognition research, it has only just started promoting its own Google Assistant to third parties. That gives Amazon first-mover advantage.\n\nWho would have thought an online retailer would be leading the virtual assistant revolution?\n\nWhile a glance around CES's show floors suggests Alexa is poised to dominate, it's worth remembering that this is a US trade show.\n\nAmazon is not quite as global a company as Google or Microsoft - the online retailer doesn't have a website for countries in Scandinavia, the Middle East or Africa, for example.\n\nAnd not all implementations of Alexa make the assistant easy to access, notes Lauren Goode at news site The Verge.\n\nShe tested headphones by OnVocal that make the aide accessible - via a tiny button that needs to be pressed to activate it.\n\n\"You'd kind of think that walking around while wearing these is just as good as having an Echo strapped to your body. It's not,\" she wrote.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nShe's the star of CES even though her creator isn't exhibiting on the show floor. Amazon's Alexa was the first voice assistant to turn up in a compelling consumer product, the Echo speaker, rather than just on a smartphone.\n\nAlthough Google Home has now joined the fray it's clear who's in the lead. Across CES, you can hear Amazon's creation at work.\n\nWho'd have thought a few years back that an online retailer with a patchy record when it comes to hardware devices would be the single most influential player at a consumer electronics event?\n\nIn the past, it has been Apple and Google who've been able to dominate CES without even turning up - now Amazon is looking like the tech industry's thought leader.\n\nNvidia has chosen to integrate Google Assistant with its new streaming box\n\nWhile Alexa may be popular, it certainly has rivals.\n\nNvidia announced at CES that its media streaming device, Shield, would feature Google Assistant - allowing users to display photos on their TV screens via voice command, for example.\n\nIt can also connect with the Nest smart thermostat and adjust the temperature - or turn on smart home devices.\n\nMicrosoft's Cortana will, of course, be available in Windows 10 devices - a wide array of which were launched this week.\n\nBut curiously, despite publishing a teaser video for a Harman Kardon speaker featuring Cortana last month, the product failed to materialise.\n\nHarman Kardon told the BBC that the device was \"not ready for display\".\n\nA Harman Kardon speaker featuring Cortana, though teased in December, was not at CES\n\nThe battle of the AIs doesn't even end there. In October, Samsung acquired fledgling AI Viv and is expected to launch it with the firm's Galaxy S8 smartphone later in 2017.\n\nIt is worth noting that the South Korean tech giant has also agreed to buy Harman Kardon.\n\nWill Viv nudge out Cortana in future Harman Kardon speakers and one day give Alexa a run for its money? It's anyone's guess at this point.\n\nAnd there was an interesting announcement from Mattel's Nabi brand, which makes child-friendly tech.\n\nIts new Aristotle speaker incorporates Alexa and will soon feature Cortana, too.\n\nParents can even set it so that children speaking to the device must say \"please\" when uttering a command.\n\nIt should be no surprise that more than one branded virtual assistant can be accessible via a single device - they are summoned from the cloud, after all.\n\nIn the future, other appliances might allow users to call on the virtual assistant of their choice by name for specific tasks. Not just one digital butler, but a whole staff.\n\nApple's Siri is not to be forgotten. It can be used to interact with several smart home devices unveiled at CES - including a smart smoke detector by Netatmo and Chamberlain garage door openers.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

In China they don't just counterfeit devices, they counterfeit entire shops - a knock-off Apple store was closed down in 2015.\n\nInstances like this play into the West’s view of China as the world’s shameless imitator. A place where great ideas from the US and Europe go off to be assembled as cheaply as possible.\n\nIt's time to update that view.\n\nAt CES, the US's biggest trade show, Chinese companies could be found competing not only on price, but on fantastic ideas and design.\n\nAs China's consumers have matured - and by that I mean, got a lot richer - so too has its technology industry.\n\nLike many a British popstar, China is intent on breaking America. But the question is whether Chinese firms can earn greater trust from Western consumers.\n\nOccupying a sizable booth in CES's North Hall is LeEco. It's pronounced \"Luh\" and \"eco\" as in ecosystem.\n\nOn display here is a concept Tesla-like sportscar, some Smart bikes with Google's Android software built in, and a 12in (30cm) TV. The point: they do a lot.\n\nChinese billionaire Jia Yueting, chief executive of LeEco, has been at CES this year\n\nLeEco was for a while known as the Netflix of China, a company that streamed content and eventually started making its own original material. Now it's branching out quickly into hardware - and started selling devices in the US at the tail end of last year.\n\n\"People assume LeEco… they think it sounds French,” says Kenny Mathers, from LeEco's marketing team.\n\n\"Our name means joyful ecosystem. When consumers get to pick up our products they’re delighted with build quality and design.\"\n\nSounding French is a good thing for a Chinese company, Mathers acknowledged, as it removes a trust barrier for people used to words like Apple rather than, say, Xiaomi. That said, I’ve heard at least five different pronunciations of LeEco this week.\n\nLooking around the booth I spotted what looked very much like a GoPro camera, and I put it to Mathers that even here we're still seeing a disregard for Western intellectual property.\n\n\"I wouldn’t say that,\" he said.\n\n\"I would say that there’s a lot of innovation in our products. We've had a huge number of innovations in our phone line - we were the first company to remove the audio jack.\"\n\nHe is of course referencing Apple’s controversial decision to remove the headphone socket from its latest iPhone - though I’m not sure that’s been a particularly popular move by either company.\n\nLeEco won't be drawn on reports of its money woes - back in China it’s reported that Haosheng Electronics, one of LeEco’s suppliers, is taking legal action over unpaid bills. LeEco has denied reports it has failed to meet its financial obligations.\n\nAccording to the latest figures from research firm Gartner, sitting third in the global smartphone sales race - behind Samsung and Apple - is Huawei.\n\nAlready the biggest supplier of telecoms infrastructure in Europe, Huawei was one of the early entrants into Western markets - though in the US it was coy. The company made Google's Nexus 6P, released in 2015, but until now hadn't undertaken any serious attempts at pushing its own brand.\n\nHuawei unveiled its Mate 9 phablet at the Las Vegas tech show\n\nThe new Mate 9, a so-called phablet, is the company's first high-end device to be launched in the US. One stand-out feature is a built-in voice assistant.\n\nCuriously, while the company makes its own AI assistant, it has opted to integrate Amazon’s Alexa into this device instead. I wondered if it was because US users might not trust a Chinese firm with such broad data gathering. But Richard Yu, Huawei's chief executive (for the consumer side of things), gave a simpler explanation.\n\n\"Amazon Alexa is the best in this country,” he told me.\n\n\"We want to bring to the consumer the best services. In the China market we have our own - we have no intention to do this [in the US] in the short term.\"\n\nLast year, Huawei had an unexpected gift: Samsung’s devices kept on catching on fire.\n\n\"Their problem has given Huawei more opportunity to be in the market,\" Mr Yu said, though he felt the Mate 9 would have given Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 a run for its money even without the problems.\n\nHe said China deserved its reputation as an imitator in years past, but was quickly shaking off that image.\n\n\"Chinese vendors are getting stronger and stronger on innovation.\n\n\"It's not like 10, 20 years ago where many in China would learn [from the West]. There is more original innovation from China now.\n\nOne Chinese telecoms firm, ZTE, impressed CES crowds with a spot of American basketball - on stilts\n\n\"Thirty years ago China was a very poor country. Like North Korea. Very poor. Nothing.\n\n\"Within 30 years everywhere in China is changing, growing. In Huawei we have huge investment in innovation.\"\n\nThis year he said he expected the company to spend $10bn (£8.1bn) on research and development - roughly in line with Apple.\n\nBut spend isn't everything. No amount of money can buy a Steve Jobs or a Jony Ive. And the cultural boundaries are proving both frustrating and fascinating - what is a massive hit in China can fall desperately flat elsewhere.\n\nBut while American firms have struggled to make headway in China, Chinese firms are accelerating into the West.

But drone pilots commute to work - and to war - each day. Vin Ray was given rare access to the only US Air Force base devoted entirely to flying drones, where he discovered the pilots' strange double life.\n\nIf you're a drone pilot, there's a strong possibility you live in Las Vegas. And your commute to work is against the traffic.\n\nWe were told to drive northwest out of the city on US Route 95. The road stretches out through the barren, inhospitable scrub of the Nevada desert.\n\nPay attention, we were told, because the signpost is small. In fact, it's very small. But we eventually arrived at our destination: Creech US Air Force Base, a small, flat, city in the desert. And the only air base devoted to flying drones.\n\nInside the base, comparisons with science fiction are hard to avoid. A drone looks like a conflation of a giant insect and a light aircraft. It's unmanned.\n\nStanding by a runway, we watch a drone land and pass right in front of us.\n\nThe camera underneath its chin, swivels quickly sideways and looks right at us - someone, somewhere on the base, is watching us.\n\nI'm escorted through a non-descript door in the side of what looks like a beige metal shipping container. It's cramped inside. At the far end there's a pilot seated on the left, who flies the drone and fires the missiles.\n\nThe sensor operator sits on the right - they operate the camera and fix the laser on the target for the missile to hit. They're focused on a bank of screens, switches and buttons. This is today's kind of cockpit. But it doesn't feel like a battleground.\n\nFor a start, there's a sensory deficiency. From my experience on the ground, you can taste war - you can smell it and you can certainly hear it. In here there's a just a mute video.\n\nBut that's not the only difference.\n\nTraditionally, soldiers in a war zone are based together. They have each others' camaraderie, and they're separated from their families.\n\nBut it's not the same if you're commuting to work every day.\n\nObviously, the drive itself is simple. But the psychological journey is altogether different. Imagine. Between six in the evening and six in the morning you might collect your kids from school, pick up some groceries on the way home and help make dinner.\n\nBut between 6am and 6pm you have a licence to kill.\n\nThis commute is familiar to Lt Col Matt Martin. He's a hugely experienced former drone pilot. He exudes a quiet strength and a ready charm.\n\nBut he talks about his schizophrenic existence, his inability to have a normal life and the strain it took on his family.\n\n\"It's a surreal enterprise,\" he says. \"You only have the drive to work and then you're flying. So for me, I would take that drive to switch gears. I would step into my cockpit and be totally immersed in flying the drone. Then a few hours later I would step out and be back in Las Vegas, in a totally different time zone, different time of day.\"\n\nHere's what the base commander Col Case Cunningham told me: \"When they walk through the gate, they're in a war. Although physically they are at home, mentally they're at war. So in effect we're asking them to redeploy every single day, to go back home and be parents and be loved ones - and then come back to war again\".\n\nSuch are the new frontiers of the modern battlefield.\n\nThese drone pilots can sit in Nevada and watch a potential target 8,000 miles (12,000km) away for months on end, building up what they call \"patterns of life\" - building what's been called a \"remote intimacy\" with their prey - all in the knowledge that, one day, they may kill them.\n\nA conventional fighter pilot will fire missiles and then head back to base. But drone pilots are required to circle for some hours afterwards, to assess the damage. The picture they're looking at is extraordinarily clear - and the damage is often in the form of body parts.\n\nSmall wonder that Creech now employs a psychologist for drone pilots suffering stress. Drones are globalising the battlefield, blurring the boundaries between war and home.\n\nAs we get ready to leave the base, the moon rises over the mountains and darkness falls quickly. There's a long traffic jam as some of the 3,500 air staff wait at the gates to leave the base - a snake of red tail lights heading back to Vegas and the warmth of their families.\n\nAnd when they get home? Well, friction can stem from one simple question: \"How was your day?\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "But a start-up has created a virtual reality contraption that simulates flight while giving players a tough workout.\n\nChris Foxx met the firm's co-founder at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017", "Hoteliers have had a difficult Christmas period and hope for more wintry weather\n\nSnow is finally falling across the Alps, after one of the driest Decembers on record.\n\nIn the Swiss Alps, the last time so little snow fell over the Christmas period was in 1864, according to measurements taken by the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research.\n\nFor mountain resorts that do up to a third of their business over Christmas and New Year, this is a worry. While this December's glorious winter sunshine certainly showed off the Alps in all their splendour, many tourists arrive expecting to be able to ski.\n\nChristoph Marty, a snow climatologist with the institute, understands why hoteliers have been gazing anxiously at the sky. \"It definitely affects business,\" he says. A post-Christmas survey of ski resorts and lift operators by Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger showed that 56% of them expected to make losses in December.\n\nThere has been little snow for the snow-grooming machines to work with\n\nThe last three years have been a \"row of Decembers without snow\", says Mr Marty. While it may be too early to confirm a pattern, even the possibility that snow will not fall until after the festive season is a concern.\n\nSo most resorts across the Alps are turning to artificial snow. Snow cannons have been used for many years to patch up vulnerable sections of a slope, but in the last decade their use has increased dramatically.\n\nFifty percent of Swiss slopes can now be snowed artificially. In neighbouring Austria the figure is 70%. It is, as Christoph Marty points out, an expensive business.\n\n\"We need a lot of water for artificial snow, and there is a lot of consumption of power,\" he says. \"This is one reason why lift tickets are not cheap.\"\n\nSwitzerland's ski resorts have realised they cannot just rely on snow cannons\n\nEnvironmentalists have been watching the increased use of artificial snow with concern.\n\nSwiss group Pro Natura says the creation of reservoirs, simply to provide water for snow cannons, is damaging to the mountain landscape, while the energy required to power all the cannons over a season would be enough to fuel a small town.\n\nThere is one big challenge to the nightly army of snow cannons: they cannot be used unless the temperature is below freezing.\n\nThat means resorts, even if no natural snow falls, must have cold weather in November to get their slopes ready for Christmas.\n\nFor the lower resorts, and the cross-country ski runs in the valleys, this is problematic, and so some have turned to a new method: snow farming.\n\nThis involves creating tonnes of snow during the coldest months of January and February. Snow cannons are parked next to rivers in the valleys, water is pumped out of them and turned into vast mounds of snow, which is then buried in sawdust and stored, over the summer, until it is needed the following season.\n\nMounds of \"farmed snow\" have appeared beside some of the Swiss ski slopes\n\n\"Up to 30% of it melts,\" says Christoph Marty. Nevertheless, more and more resorts, determined to guarantee snow in December, are turning to farming.\n\nIt has, this season, made for some odd pictures: ribbons of snow on the ski slopes winding their way down through green fields.\n\nThe sport of skiing developed, of course, out of the natural winter conditions in the mountains.\n\nBut that was before winter package holidays: the first skiers, over a century ago, did not expect guaranteed snow from November to April.\n\nToday the winter sports business is worth billions, and many mountain communities depend on it. Creating the right conditions for skiing is no longer a matter for the weather gods, it is a high-tech industry.\n\nFor anyone who still believes the snow beneath their skis simply fell from the skies, the truth is far more complicated than that.\n\nThe scenery in the Swiss Alps may be stunning this winter, but the valleys are hoping for far more snow", "Can CES delight the ear as well as the eye?\n\nCES is a visual feast of lights, colour, people, costumes - and of course endless gadgets.\n\nThere are plenty of striking pictures from the show floor.\n\nBut are any of the exhibitors interested in delighting your ears?\n\nRather like the city of Las Vegas itself, it has its own distinctive beat.\n\nThere's the hubbub of chatter. The hiss of vending cart coffee machines. The thumping bass and discord of various sound systems vying for attention. The amplified echo of a hundred demonstrations. The ringtones and message alerts from thousands of mobile phones.\n\nAnd also - this being a tech fair - the whizzes and ticks and buzzes and bings of robots and drones.\n\nRobots make quite a racket - just what you'd expect at a football match\n\nAfter hours of stalking the vast halls of CES besieged by visuals, I decided to try and find beguiling sounds instead.\n\nThings did not get off to a good start.\n\nThe first robot I encountered - a service machine designed to guide people around museums - responded to my greeting by asking me whether I was \"fickle after kissing\".\n\nIts mortified owner told me it was confused. It wasn't the only one.\n\nNext, I asked one of the show guides where I could find some interesting noises, and was promptly escorted to a section of the show floor dedicated to in-car speakers.\n\nI had to explain that as much as I admire Lady Gaga, the strains of her hit Bad Romance blasting out of the back of a Jeep rammed floor-to-ceiling with sub woofers wasn't what I had in mind either.\n\nIt was in a start-up zone called Eureka Park that I struck audio gold.\n\nSome gadgets, like the cuddly Talkies, can't wait to speak up\n\nI was drawn in by the sound of crickets - very incongruous in a giant exhibition hall with no natural light, let alone greenery. It was coming from an air purifier called Clair with a built-in Bluetooth speaker nestling at a tiny stand towards the back.\n\n\"When people sleep they need fresh air and also this kind of sound can help people sleep better,\" said a spokesman who introduced himself as Bono from South Korea.\n\n\"So, we put them both together.\"\n\nIt's the sort of stuff that's perfect for radio, in fact. After that, I captured the warm American male tones of a virtual assistant designed for cars and the staccato gunfire of a man who was evidently immersed in a VR game of mortal combat that only he could see.\n\nNext came machine-like marching sounds from a team of forearm-sized Aelos robots playing miniature football, and a delegate attempting to play Let It Be by The Beatles on a Magic Instruments digital guitar. It's supposed to be easy to learn. Perhaps he tried the wrong tune.\n\nThe Emys robot has a natural sounding voice - and looks like a cross between ET and a Ninja Turtle\n\nI bonded with natural-voiced Emys, a Kickstarter-funded desktop robot that looked like a cross between ET and a Ninja Turtle. It has been designed to teach young children foreign languages (did you know that castle in Spanish is castillo?).\n\nI also hugged a gurgling Talkie - a cuddly little monster with wi-fi that you can use to exchange voice messages with your children.\n\nOlly, a robot that claims to adapt to the personality of its owner, told me about feeling both happy and sad in a mournfully child-like voice.\n\n\"By the end of the day I'll be dead,\" complained an uncomfortable promotions girl, fidgeting in a pair of towering stilettos.\n\n\"And if I'm not - just kill me.\"\n\nMeanwhile, a little bat-shaped speaker chimed like a casino slot machine, as it tried to re-establish a connection with the smartphone it was supposed to be streaming music from.\n\nWhat's the sound of CES? It's all of those things. All at the same time. All day long. And it's music to my ears.\n\nListen to Zoe's radio report on The World This Weekend, on Radio 4 at 13:00 GMT", "A barnacle removal bill is an unlikely inspiration to set up a joint bank account. Yet, for two keen sailors, opening an account together was the most efficient way to organise the costs of running their boat.\n\nFees for maintenance, mooring, and fuel all needed to be paid, so the yacht-owning duo stepped into their local bank branch on the south coast of England and signed up.\n\nThe manager that day was Eric Leenders, now the managing director of retail banking at the British Bankers' Association.\n\n\"Typically joint accounts are used by couples for pooled income and expenditure, the trigger is often when they move in together and start paying the bills,\" he says.\n\n\"But, on occasions, they are used to share funding for a particular project.\"\n\nIt is the mundane reality of keeping heads above water financially - rather than keeping a vessel shipshape - that prompts most people to open a joint bank account.\n\nAny couple or group of people can open an account together, generally a regular current account with some added terms and conditions. Yet, experts stress there are benefits and pitfalls to sharing a bank account with anyone - even within an intimate relationship.\n\nToday, couples are living together and marrying later in life. Having increasingly led independent financial lives, the relevance of joint accounts may be questioned.\n\nWhile the vast majority of banks and building societies offer them, they do not collect and share any data so we can only speculate that the popularity of these accounts is fading.\n\nFiona Cullinan, a 48-year-old digital editor, says she never had a joint bank account, even during more than two years of marriage - until last month.\n\n\"This is probably a legacy of not wanting to argue about money and also being independent, as once bills and standing orders are set up, it is hard to shift everything over - or so I thought,\" she says.\n\n\"In September I lost one of my jobs and so a joint account started to make more sense to help with cash flow. It was really simple and took about 30 minutes at the bank to set up.\n\n\"Now that everything doesn't go out from my account, it is a lot less stressful. A secondary bonus is that the burden feels more shared as my husband is now more involved in household finances - he set up a household budget spreadsheet to check things are on track each month. I now feel we are more of a team.\"\n\nApplying for a joint account is much the same as opening a current account individually. Applicants often tick a box to make the account a joint version, then fill in their individual section of the form and provide the normal proof of address and identity.\n\nMany banks allow customers to add a second name to an existing account, following the normal checks.\n\nConvenience is generally the main benefit, with the account used to pay household bills, although wages are often still paid into an individual's own current account.\n\n\"Two people with two accounts often become two people with three accounts,\" says Eric Leenders, of the BBA.\n\nThere is no limit on the number of people who can sign up, but primarily they are used by couples who are married, in civil partnerships or who live together, or by friends who share a home. Banks says that couples separated by work postings are also among those who are keen.\n\nMr Leenders says that reward or packaged current accounts can lend themselves to joint opening owing to household benefits, such as insurance, that may be included. He stressed that anyone signing up should read the terms and conditions to check the extent of this cover.\n\nThe Money Advice Service, a government-funded, independent organisation, points out there are limitations for anyone who needs longer term access to someone else's finances.\n\n\"If, for example, you have an elderly relative who is having trouble keeping on top of their money - a joint account is not your best bet,\" it says.\n\nCouples' finances have been used in comedy turns such as the Joint Account TV series\n\nThe key decision when setting up the account is whether one individual can withdraw money, sign cheques and make payments or whether both, or all, need to sign.\n\nThis is made official under what is known as the mandate. This should also cover the rules over who must give permission for changes in the terms of the account or close it.\n\nWhatever the decision, all parties usually get a payment card and a cheque book, if it is available with the account.\n\nDigitally, each person will have their own log-in details, with their own password, so this needs to be set up individually. In reality, this means each remembering another password, although mobile banking now uses encrypted password saving and fingerprint logins.\n\nJoint accounts allow people to share the rewards and convenience, but they also share the risk.\n\nOpening a joint account means a couple will be co-scored by credit reference agencies, so if one has a poor credit history it can affect the other.\n\nGetting out of debt also falls to both, or all, of those signed up - as a group and individually. Typically, each account holder is responsible for paying back all the money owed, so one could become liable for repaying the other person's debt.\n\nA bank might take money from that person's sole account to cover the overdraft in the joint account - but only if both accounts are with the same bank.\n\n\"Banks are not in the business of making good customers bad customers,\" says Mr Leenders, pointing out that banks' lending code requires them to treat customers sympathetically.\n\nHe stresses that people should inform their bank about a relationship breakdown, or any sign of transactions that have not been agreed, to freeze the account - otherwise it can be difficult to retrieve this money.\n\nCases that have gone to the financial ombudsman include:\n\nAt its worst, extravagant spending by one partner from the joint account, or sole control of a joint account can be a sign of financial abuse.\n\nSpending jointly earned money, taking out loans in a partner's name, demanding payment for utility bills from their own savings, or scrutinising every penny that a partner spends are all signs of such bullying, charities and the TUC say.\n\nWorse, it can be the forerunner of even more serious emotional, or physical, abuse.\n\nWomen are often the victims, but men - particularly those with disabilities - can also be vulnerable.\n\nUnder the Serious Crime Act - implemented in 2015 - coercive and controlling behaviour between partners, which could include financial abuse, became illegal for the first time.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "At least 43 people have been killed in a car bomb blast in the rebel-held Syrian town of Azaz, near the Turkish border.\n\nThe explosion occurred outside a courthouse in the town, just 7km (four miles) from the Turkish frontier.", "Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney says he is \"honoured\" to be level with Sir Bobby Charlton as the club's all-time leading goalscorer - but wants to break the record soon.\n\nHis FA Cup strike against Reading took Rooney, 31, to 249 goals in 543 games, reaching the landmark 215 matches and four seasons quicker than Charlton.\n\n\"It's a proud moment,\" he said.\n\n\"We've got two home games coming up this week so hopefully I can get the next one in one of those.\"\n\nUnited play Hull City in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday (20:00 GMT kick-off), before taking on Liverpool in the Premier League at 16:00 on 15 January.\n\n\"This club is a huge part of my life and I'm honoured to be up there alongside Sir Bobby,\" said Rooney after Saturday's 4-0 win over the Royals at Old Trafford.\n• None Listen: Rooney was always going to break records - Moyes\n\n'He was always going to break records'\n\nUnited manager Jose Mourinho said: \"A more special day will arrive. It was great but I want one more goal. He is an amazing guy in the group and we all want him to do it. To have Wayne as the top scorer in a club like this is magnificent for him.\"\n\nReading boss Jaap Stam, who played 127 times for United, added: \"Wayne has been a great player from the beginning. He is a player who works very hard for the team and you could see that in the game. With the quality he has as an individual and the quality players he is playing with, it makes him an outstanding player.\n\n\"It is not surprising he has scored this many goals. Even when they are 4-0 up, he is still sprinting and running for the ball.\"\n\nIn 2015, Rooney surpassed World Cup winner Charlton's England scoring record of 49 goals and has since taken his international tally to 53.\n\nThe United landmark comes during a season in which the England captain has been left out of the starting line-up for both club and country, his record-equalling goal being just his fourth of the campaign.\n\nFormer United manager David Moyes, now at Sunderland, added: \"First of all it's congratulations. To even get mentioned in the same breath as Sir Bobby Charlton, who for so many people is a great for what he did with England and Manchester United, is an achievement.\n\n\"You have to give Wayne Rooney credit for the limelight he has had to work under and the pressure people continually put on him.\n\n\"He has had a great career. It comes to an end at some time in football and sometimes you drop off a little bit but Wayne was always going to break the records in my eyes. The times I have worked with him he was always very good. A great player, a great trainer and someone who always wanted to go about his business well.\"\n\nHow has Rooney done it?\n\nThe signs were there from the very start that Rooney's could be a stellar Old Trafford career.\n\nIn his first game following a £27m move from Everton in 2004, he scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in a 6-2 Champions League win.\n\nHe has not looked back since, reaching double figures in every season at the club, including a career-high 34 in all competitions in 2009-10 and 2011-12.\n\nRooney and Charlton are ahead of some of the finest players that Manchester United and British football has known.\n\nCharlton, who came up through the United youth system, spent 17 years at Old Trafford before finishing his career with spells at Preston and Irish side Waterford United.\n\nAnd despite his consistency over such a long period, he never managed to hit the 30-goal mark in a single season, coming closest when he struck 29 times during his third season at Old Trafford.\n\nDespite Rooney's scoring bursts, his goals have not come at the fastest rate. Tommy Taylor, who was a two-time title winner with United in the 1950s, holds that honour, just ahead of former Netherlands international Ruud van Nistelrooy.\n\nRooney's ratio of 0.459 goals per game puts him eighth on the list, while Charlton (0.328) does not even make the top 10.\n\nWhere does Rooney rank in list of Man Utd greats?\n\nRooney has secured his place in Manchester United history and Old Trafford's hall of greats with his record-equalling goalscoring feats.\n\nHowever, he will have to resign himself to never being held in the same esteem, and place of legend, as the likes of Charlton, George Best and Denis Law.\n\nIndeed, despite his lofty place in United's record books, the 31-year-old will never be revered by United's supporters in the same manner as the maverick Old Trafford catalyst Eric Cantona, the great leaders Roy Keane and Bryan Robson, and brilliant home-grown products such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.\n\nThis may seem brutally unfair given his contribution to United's successes, but there are several factors at work when his place in the club's historical affections is measured.\n\nRooney was an expensive import from Merseyside, while Charlton, who survived the 1958 Munich air disaster, led United to their first European Cup in 1968 and stands alongside his great mentor Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson as an iconic Old Trafford figure.\n\nBest and Law came alongside Charlton as United's 'Holy Trinity' as the club emerged from the tragedy of Munich, while Cantona was the great transformer in the early 90s and the likes of Robson and Keane were world-class players and warriors.\n\nRooney's chequered history with the club and its fans will also have an impact on his legacy when his contribution to United - a truly great one when judged solely in a football context - is reflected upon.\n\nIn many eyes, Rooney will never quite be forgiven for the episode in October 2010 when he decided he wanted to leave, then further strained his relationship with club and fans by issuing a statement which effectively said United lacked ambition and questioned the quality of his team-mates.\n\nThis was resolved within days when he signed a new five-year-contract, but the memory has lingered for many. There was another disagreement late in the 2012-13 season as Ferguson prepared for retirement and made it clear Rooney again wanted to leave - a claim that led to the player being jeered by some fans as he collected his title winner's medal at Old Trafford.\n\nFans and those who record history and legends take these matters into account.\n\nWhat must also be remembered is that Rooney has had a stellar United career littered with trophies, brilliance and game-changing moments. He fully deserves to be remembered as one of the greats of Old Trafford.\n\nThere will, however, be many more remembered before him.", "It might be a noisy tea room, but you won't find many that get you this close to the source of the manufacturing process.\n\nFormer naval officer Andrew Gadsden explains how he came to open his tea room, All About Tea, in a factory warehouse in Portsmouth.\n\nThis video is part of a series from the BBC Business Unit called My Shop.

I would be very sad if it did.\n\n\"There's no other race track that would be able to host the British Grand Prix.\"\n\nFor anyone who has followed Formula 1 for the last decade or two, another story questioning the future of the British Grand Prix is about as surprising as cold weather in winter.\n\nThere is no doubt the British Racing Drivers' Club mean it when they say they are considering activating a break clause.\n\nBut, equally, there is no doubt that it fundamentally amounts to posturing - Silverstone does not want to lose the British Grand Prix any more than do the 140,000 fans who went there to watch it last year.\n\nThe issue is the cost of the 17-year contract - £12m in 2010; a 5% annual escalator means the race will cost nearly £17m this year and more than £26m by 2027.\n\nThis is small by comparison with Russia, which pays $50m (£40.3m) a year. It's not that far out of line with the new deal signed by Italy for €68m (£58m) over 2017-19, which averages out at £19.3m a year. But Silverstone - almost alone among grands prix - receives no government funding of any kind.\n\nNo other circuit in Britain is even remotely close to being able to replace it - so ignore any suggestions from F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone to that end.\n\nThe solution lies in new F1 owner Liberty Media, which has made it abundantly clear it wants to retain and nurture the historic European races, home of the sport's core audience, as a bedrock of its new-look F1.\n\nLiberty will complete its takeover deal before the end of the first quarter of this year.

Since the long-term injury to Jack Butland, Lee Grant has deputised brilliantly.\n\nStoke 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.\n\nStoke 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.\n\nWhen 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?\n\nI'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.\n\nAnd 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\".\n\nI 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?\n\nThey 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nChelsea will just have to lick their wounds and get over it.\n\nHe's only gone and done it again.\n\nI 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nHowever McAuley is a real professional and both manager and player know that in the final analysis the central defender can be relied upon.\n\nManchester City may be remodelling their dressing-room area at the Etihad, but they badly needed to reconfigure the team after three defeats in December.\n\nBut to leave out Sergio Aguero against Burnley? What was boss Pep Guardiola thinking?\n\nThat 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.\n\nSo it was left to a full-back to provide the much needed inspiration Guardiola was demanding from his fans at half-time.\n\nClichy doesn't command a regular place in the team these days but his performance against a very dangerous Burnley was inspired.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nAs 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.\n\nDid 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.\n\nHe 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.\n\nArsenal 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.\n\nPlayers 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.\n\nHas Ross Barkley finally come of age, or is it just an interesting phase he's going through?\n\nThe 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.\n\nIf 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.\n\nGet it wrong and it could signal their demise.\n\nWhat 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.\n\nI have always maintained that I've only seen Alli perform in games of lesser importance rather than the really big matches.\n\nHowever 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.\n\nThis was not only a great performance by Spurs but, for me, the birth of a special player.\n\nRegular readers of my Team of the Week will know that I don't normally select a substitute unless he has been a game changer.\n\nManchester United's Marcus Rashford was that player against a desperately unfortunate 10-man West Ham.\n\nThe player had only been on the pitch for a little over 30 minutes and he transformed the match.\n\nIt 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nHe 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nDefoe 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.\n\nIf anyone had any doubts that the Premier League is the best in the world they can disabuse themselves of that notion now.\n\nThe 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.\n\nNo 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.\n\nThis lad has had an amazing Christmas period.\n\nHe 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.\n\nGiroud 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.\n\nThis was another magnificent display of commitment and desire from two very different sides.\n\nBournemouth 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.\n\nAs 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.

But what was supposed to be their big coming out week isn't going quite as planned.\n\nIf you're a tech company wanting to grab the world's attention this week, then Las Vegas could be the worst place to be.\n\nWhy? Well in the biggest CES yet with nearly 4,000 exhibitors you really have to shout very loud to be heard above the hubbub.\n\nIf you're a giant company like Sony or Samsung, you pour your marketing millions into spectacular press conferences and ridiculously lavish show floor exhibits where visitors have to wade through deep pile carpet while being deafened by loud music and shouty demos.\n\nSo, to arrive here as a one-man start-up with an innovative idea and try to get some attention requires both courage and optimism. Luckily Danny Manu has both in spades.\n\nWhen I met this young man from Manchester on the Las Vegas strip, he was desperately tired. His cheap flight from the UK had been delayed by eight hours on a Miami stopover - so he'd dashed from the airport to his AirBnB to drop his luggage, then came straight on to see me.\n\n\"I've not slept for 24 hours but I'm still moving and looking forward to it,\" he says.\n\nDanny's product is called Clik and he bills it as the world's first truly wireless earbuds with live translation. The idea is that you speak in one language and another person hears what you say in their own tongue, either via their own earbuds or via the MyManu smartphone app that Danny has already developed.\n\nSmart wireless earbuds and instant translation are ideas which giants like Apple and Google are addressing with vast investments - so it seems ridiculously ambitious for a one-man band to take them on.\n\nHe has already had a few setbacks. He'd hoped to have a working model ready for CES, but says delays in manufacturing in China mean the earbuds won't be ready for a few weeks.\n\nInstead, he demonstrates the system on a set of ear headphones, getting me to say Bonjour into an iPad which then comes out of his headphones as Hello.\n\nWe struggle with bad connectivity - often an issue when thousands are using the mobile networks at once - but Danny is hoping for a smoother demo in any of 37 languages when his stand is set up at the show.\n\nIt has been an extraordinary journey to get this far. He's been working on the idea for four years while holding down a full time job as an engineer at a major aerospace company. He tells me that when he went to China to sign a deal with Foxconn to manufacture his product he could only take three days leave, so spent just one day in Shenzhen - to the amazement of his hosts - then got back on the plane.\n\nHe has funded Clik from his own savings and a crowdfunding campaign and exhibiting at CES is costing him a tidy sum. So, is it worth it?\n\n\"I've had so many emails from companies that wanted to see the product,\" he says.\n\n\"That's the main reason I've come to CES.\"\n\nHe is also hoping to link up with distributors, manufacturers and other possible business partners.\n\nLet's be honest, the odds aren't great on Danny Manu beating the tech giants to launch a product that could transform the way we interact with people who speak a different language. In fact, he might be better to head to the roulette tables and pick a number to put his life savings on.\n\nBut this brave young British entrepreneur, with the courage to stake everything on an innovation he believes could change the world, is just what CES should be all about.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Self-driving car tech is one of the big themes of this year's CES expo in Las Vegas.\n\nSouth Korea's Hyundai is one of those showing off a prototype.\n\nBut when the BBC's Dave Lee put it to the test, it had to deal with other drivers making illegal manoeuvres.\n\nSee all our CES 2017 coverage", "Intel's Project Alloy headset was announced last year - but the CES demo was brand new\n\nIntel has shown off a headset that can replace a room's pre-scanned furniture with more appropriate video game scenery in virtual reality.\n\nThe capabilities of the firm's Project Alloy headset, currently in development, were demoed at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.\n\nChief executive Brian Krzanich said Intel planned to license the technology to manufacturers by the end of 2017.\n\nBut one analyst said VR remained a difficult market to target.\n\nThe headset does not require a separate PC or a connection to a power source - both computer and battery are built in, noted Mr Krzanich as he introduced the latest prototype.\n\nTwo players in a mock living room demonstrated on stage how the headset could create a virtual replica of the room featuring scanned obstacles such as furniture.\n\nIn the demo, the bookcases and coffee table were then replaced, digitally, by similar-sized scenery more suited to the game - a futuristic spaceship.\n\nThe headset converted scanned objects into more appropriate bits of video game scenery\n\nProject Alloy was first unveiled in August last year, but this was its most advanced demo yet.\n\n\"It was certainly interesting,\" said tech analyst Brian Blau at Gartner, who also praised the freedom offered by an \"all-in-one\" headset without a cable.\n\nHowever, he said it would have been even more impressive had the living room been scanned by the headset itself.\n\n\"They did say [the room] was pre-scanned, so I was a little bit disappointed by that.\"\n\nThe device will not be manufactured by Intel, but instead it will offer the technology to other tech firms to build products around.\n\nIntel hopes this process will begin in the final quarter of 2017.

The Cuban government has made proficiency in English a requirement for all high school and university students. As Will Grant reports from Havana, that approach differs from the Cold War, when Russian was the preferred foreign language.\n\nAt the annual Havana Jazz Festival, the audience members, much like the music, were a mix of international and Cuban.\n\nSitting on plastic chairs at the open-air venue, visitors from the United States, Europe and China mingled with local jazz aficionados.\n\nOn stage, a saxophonist who lives in Denmark was reunited with some old Cuban friends.\n\nAt such an international event, the common language is generally English.\n\nMany Cubans are already learning the language themselves, and if not, they are trying to make sure their children are.\n\nMorning assembly at Jesus Suarez Gayol Secondary School on the outskirts of Havana begins with the school's anthem.\n\nSecondary school pupils are expected to reach a certain standard in English\n\nThe school is named after one of the guerrillas who fought alongside Ernesto \"Che\" Guevara but these teenagers are growing up in an increasingly different Cuba to the one Jesus Suarez did.\n\nFor a start, a certain proficiency in English is now a requirement for all secondary school children and university graduates.\n\nDuring the Cold War, students could choose between learning English and Russian but Cuba's educational authorities told the BBC they now consider English a necessary skill for all of the nation's youth.\n\n\"As an international language, English has always had a place in our curriculum,\" says Director of Secondary Education Zoe de la Red Iturria.\n\n\"But we are now rolling out new techniques to evolve our learning of the English language,\" she adds.\n\nZoe de la Red Iturria wants to modernise English-language learning in Cuba\n\nBut language-teaching methods remain quite traditional, relying heavily on textbooks, parrot-fashion repetition and with only very limited Internet access.\n\nOlga Perez, national adviser for English teaching in Cuba, says the authorities are hoping to tackle that last issue.\n\n\"It would be very good for us if we had the internet in the schools. And we hope that in the future, we'll not only have the internet, we're also dreaming of installing language laboratories in every school.\"\n\nAnd it is not just in the classrooms that English can be heard more frequently but on the streets of Havana, too.\n\nIn what was a record year for tourism to Cuba, many Cubans have tried to teach themselves English without the help of any formal classes.\n\nDarvis Luis sells second-hand books and posters to tourists.

He wasn't. We move on.\" The minister sounded rather cheerful.\n\nSo, Sir Ivan Rogers had gone because his face didn't fit. Now the way was clear for a true believer in the opportunities opened up by the vote to leave the EU.\n\nIf only winning a good deal for Britain in its divorce from the European Union, and eventually on the terms of trade for the UK outside the EU, was half so simple.\n\nBut the resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers has revealed more than the difficulty and complexity of Britain's EU divorce. It has highlighted wider strains in Whitehall between some mandarins and some ministers, up to and including Theresa May.\n\nMandarins and ambassadors perennially advise more junior mandarins on the importance of speaking truth to power. On this occasion, Sir Ivan's leaked farewell memo can fairly be read as a protest and a warning. Concern is growing among some high-ranking officials that ministers don't understand or won't admit the scale of the task they're facing.\n\nThat concern broke surface last week, when the head of the top civil servants' trade union, the FDA, suggested ministers lacked the courage to own up to the difficulties of Brexit for fear of displaying political weakness.\n\nDave Penman's particular worry, as the nearest thing mandarins have to a shop steward, was that ministers might leave the government machine unable to cope adequately with the day-to-day business of government.\n\nOf course, trade unions tend to demand more resources on behalf of their members. It's their job.\n\nBut it was an unusually political contribution from an organisation which represents the most exalted, and rigidly non-political, beings in Whitehall.\n\nBy extension, if the complaint is justified, refusing to recognise the scale and complexities of Brexit might jeopardise the success of the mission itself.\n\nTheresa May has promised to give a major speech on Brexit\n\nThe mere suggestion that senior officials might lack commitment to the task of making Brexit work as a result of political prejudice makes officials bristle. They insist they don't take sides - they take orders and try to make them work.\n\nFor their part, Brexit enthusiasts insist Britain's future outside the EU is assured, if only all concerned would recognise the strength of the UK's position as a strategic and trading power.\n\nTheir conviction is strengthened by a sense that the scepticism they detect in Whitehall and elsewhere is not merely faint-hearted or unpatriotic but also undermining to the prospects of eventual success.\n\nNo-one can say Brexit is coming off the rails. It hasn't even started.\n\nBut as if preparing to face 27 other European states, the European Parliament and the European Commission wasn't daunting enough a task to begin with, confidence in Whitehall and Westminster about the negotiations and life after Brexit is being undermined by tension between the people who run the government machine and their new political masters - and by old rivalries between Remainers and Brexiteers, even though that civil war was fought, and lost and won half a year ago.\n\nIn Downing Street the driving motivation is not ideological passion. Theresa May stood on the Remain side in the June referendum, admittedly with no great display of enthusiasm. Her prime concern now is making the plan work.\n\nThe prime minister is a pragmatist. The trouble with that, just now, is there's no clear sense of what the plan is.\n\nWe are promised a major speech by the prime minister in coming weeks, giving more detail of the plan for Brexit.\n\nWho knows? It may even relieve some of the steady pressure on her and her ministers for more clarity.\n\nGiven the fact Mrs May and her team above all want to keep their cards closed, and their options open, I'll believe it when I see it.", "The Veganuary campaign, encouraging people to try a vegan diet for the month most commonly associated with resolution and change, is under way, with a record 50,000 people signed up.\n\nBut can forgoing meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey for 31 days do any good?\n\nThe adverts are on display, supporters on board and partner restaurants are promoting their meat and dairy-free dishes.\n\nCampaign organisers say following a vegan diet, even for such a short spell, can bring benefits.\n\nIt promotes the animal rights argument - that sentient animals should not be eaten or used in food production.

She immediately travelled to London to meet him. What followed, writes Jeff Maysh, is an unbelievable story of deception and heartbreak.\n\nIt was a cold Saturday morning in April 1988 when a van full of detectives arrived outside the North London home of Erwin van Haarlem. The self-employed art dealer, 44, lived alone in sleepy Friern Barnet, a smattering of brick homes beside the grim North Circular ring road.\n\nThe Dutchman's apartment building on Silver Birch Close had become the centre of an investigation led by the British intelligence agency MI5. It suspected that Van Haarlem - whom neighbours described as an \"oddball\" - was not in the art business at all, but a sinister foreign agent.\n\nInside, Van Haarlem was hunched over a radio in his kitchen. He was still wearing his pyjamas, but his hair was parted neatly to one side. He was tuned in, as he was every morning, to a mysterious \"number station\". In his earpiece, a female voice recited numbers in Czech, followed by the blip-bleep of Morse code.\n\nAt 09:15 detectives from Special Branch, the anti-terror unit of London's Metropolitan Police, crashed into his apartment. Van Haarlem tried to lower his radio's antenna. It jammed. When he pulled open a drawer and grabbed a kitchen knife, an officer tackled him, and yelled: \"Enough! It is over! It is over!\"\n\nHidden among his easels and paintings, detectives discovered tiny codebooks concealed in a bar of soap, strange chemicals, and car magazines later found to contain messages written in invisible ink. Investigators suspected Van Haarlem was not really from the Netherlands, but was a spy for the UK's Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union.\n\nUnder a bright spotlight at a police station in Central London, Van Haarlem protested his innocence. Then, 10 days later, things turned really strange: a visitor arrived claiming to be the prisoner's mother. Johanna van Haarlem was a Dutch woman in her early sixties, who peered at detectives from behind huge glasses. Her son was no spy, she insisted, but an honest Dutchman - the child she had abandoned in 1944 and rediscovered 11 years earlier. The baffled detectives allowed her to visit their suspect.\n\n\"Tell me, I'm hearing all these strange stories,\" she said. \"You're not really a spy, are you?\"\n\n\"We have a saying that where you see the smoke, there will be a fire,\" Van Haarlem told her. \"But this time it is not true. Too much of the smoke and no fire. I did absolutely nothing that could harm England.\"\n\nJohanna sighed with relief. \"But why? Why all of this, then?\" she said.\n\n\"Don't ask me. Ask them.\"\n\nAnd then he noticed a tiny red spot on her forearm. The DNA blood test results from the Home Office laboratory indicated, with near certainty, that they were not related. Johanna van Haarlem broke down in tears as her world collapsed.\n\nJohanna van Haarlem was 52 on her first visit to London to meet Erwin\n\nOn 6 February 1989, at London's Old Bailey, prosecutor Roy Amlot told a jury that the defendant had stolen her son's identity.\n\n\"You may think that if he knew all along, it was a cruel thing to do to her,\" he said.\n\nThe trial captivated the press. The Daily Express described Van Haarlem as \"an old-fashioned... slick-suited spy who inhabited a world of dead letterboxes and secret codes\". Exotic beauties came forward to kiss-and-tell about their love affairs with the spy. But the most wounded victim stood in the witness box, the tragic Dutchwoman, Johanna van Haarlem.\n\nOn 4 March 1989, at 11:45, the judge sentenced Erwin van Haarlem to 10 years in prison for espionage. \"He is probably the first person to be tried at the Old Bailey under an alias,\" one senior Scotland Yard officer told a reporter. The \"spy with no name\", as the newspapermen called him, would take his secrets with him to his cell.\n\nAfter months of negotiation and false starts, I met Erwin van Haarlem on a spring day in Prague, in 2016. Although he had lived quietly as a free man for the past 23 years, spies famously do not talk. Introduced to me by the Czech crime journalist, Jaroslav Kmenta, Van Haarlem arrived at a restaurant near the city's Old Town Square, wearing a smart blue blazer. After carefully checking my identification he began, in accented English, to tell me his story.\n\nIt began on 23 August 1944, when he was born Vaclav Jelinek in Modrany, a small village near Prague. His father had owned a small bakery there, selling biscuits and ice creams, until the Communists took power. Young Jelinek enlisted in mandatory military service, and, as the Cold War intensified, he graduated to a position in the Czechoslovak Ministry of the Interior. He dreamed of military valour and excitement. But what he got was mind-numbing shifts and grunt work.\n\nOne day his superiors caught him studying German vocabulary instead of guarding a checkpoint in the snow. They marched him to an upstairs office where he expected disciplinary action. Instead he was introduced to two members of Statni bezpecnost - the Czechoslovak secret State police. The StB was a shadowy spy agency that reported directly to the Soviets.\n\nThe StB agents had studied his file and learned that Jelinek was defiant, a womaniser, highly intelligent, prone to violence, patriotic, and a risk-taker. In other words, perfect spy material. After careful training, they decided he was ready to begin an undercover mission abroad, spying on the West.\n\nThe StB searched through its files of missing persons and assigned Jelinek a false identity - that of a Dutch boy, abandoned at an orphanage in Holesovice, Prague, at the end of World War Two. The child had been born just one day before Jelinek.\n\n\"Your new name,\" they told him, \"is Erwin van Haarlem.\"\n\nHe applied for a Dutch passport, and arrived in London by train in June 1975. To the boy from Prague, it was an alien city swarming with traffic, fashion, and danger. He took a job at the 24th-floor Roof restaurant at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair, hoping to spy on the Royals down the road at Buckingham Palace.\n\nAt night, he exchanged coded messages with his home country via radio. One of his first ideas was to try planting listening devices in the Queen's furniture, he recalls, though he and his bosses realised it was technically unrealistic.\n\nHis secret career was running smoothly until late 1977, when he received a disturbing message from Prague: \"YOUR MOTHER IS TRYING TO FIND YOU IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA WITH THE HELP OF THE RED CROSS. SHOULD THE RED CROSS FIND YOU, A MEETING IS TO BE AGREED WITH.\"\n\nHe read the message over and over again. In October of that year, Van Haarlem received a handwritten letter from Johanna van Haarlem. The Dutch embassy had given her his address, she wrote. She was thrilled to find him. As he had been ordered, the spy politely replied in November, enclosing some photographs. He began the letter: \"Dear mother\". When he sent a cordial invitation to visit him in London, she left immediately.\n\nJohanna woke up early on 1 January 1978, in a West London hotel. Her stomach was knotted with nerves. She stepped on to the street littered with the detritus of New Year's Eve. It was her plan to arrive early and check out her son's address. But on the opposite side of the street a familiar-looking young man walked past.\n\n\"Are you Mrs van Haarlem?\" the spy said, stopping in his tracks.\n\n\"Hello Mother, it's your son.\"\n\nThey embraced in the middle of the street. Johanna stepped back to look at him. Tears were rolling down her face.\n\n\"Your father did not have such dark hair,\" said Johanna, studying him. Then she commented that he was shorter than his father.\n\nInside his apartment a champagne cork popped as Johanna breathlessly told him her life story. The bottle had frozen in the refrigerator but Van Haarlem managed to pour a couple of glasses.\n\nShe had grown up in The Hague, in Holland, and was an 18-year-old virgin when she met his father on a train, in November 1943. Gregor Kulig was a Nazi. He was blue-eyed, 23, and Polish. Handsome. At a party four weeks later, she said, he raped her.\n\nAnd when her father discovered she was pregnant, he exploded. \"You are a sinner!\" he told her. He ordered her to take the child to a distant town and give him away.\n\nFull of sadness and desperation, in autumn 1944 Johanna travelled to Czechoslovakia by train. After a brief effort to survive there as a single mother, she walked into an orphanage in Holesovice, Prague. Sobbing, she kissed baby Erwin goodbye, and returned to Holland alone.\n\nHer father - a Jew who had joined the National Socialist Movement to protect his family - destroyed the adoption papers and banned her from ever speaking about her son.\n\nOver the years, dozens of letters arrived from the orphanage asking Johanna to take back her child. They went unanswered. But every year on his birthday, Johanna silently remembered her missing son, his name she could not even speak: Erwin van Haarlem.\n\nNow she had found him. As they finished their champagne, he took her hand in his.\n\n\"You have to believe it,\" he told her. \"I am your son.\"\n\nShortly after their emotional \"reunion\", Johanna invited Erwin to meet the Van Haarlem family in Holland. When the spy arrived at her bungalow in early 1978, one-by-one he shook hands with the whole family. They studied him like a specimen in a zoo. Johanna's niece approached Van Haarlem, and seemed to scan him from head to toe. Did she know?\n\n\"He has the nice Van Haarlem legs,\" she told the crowd, approvingly.\n\nBack in London, having a Dutch, Jewish mother only improved Van Haarlem's cover. His main task, the spy told me, was to gather information about Refuseniks, the Jews held in the Soviet Union despite their requests to emigrate, who had become political pawns in Cold War peace talks. He also gained prize information about underwater sonar chains, which alerted Nato to Soviet submarine movements.\n\nBritish defence journalist Kim Sengupta later described Van Haarlem in this era as \"a brilliantly successful deep penetration agent\", who, over the years, visited the Polaris submarine base at the British Admiralty's Underwater Research Unit, as well as \"a string of sensitive military installations\".\n\nFor these fantastic intelligence scores, Van Haarlem received a medal from the Soviet Union at a private party held in his honour in Prague.\n\n\"He moved a lot,\" Johanna later told a Dutch radio station. \"From that small apartment I visited the first time to bigger, fancier places… I had no idea why he moved so much. He was doing better and better, you could tell by his clothes, shoes and houses that he was going in the right direction.\"\n\nErwin showered Johanna with presents including a Wedgwood vase, a gold and sapphire ring, and a gold coin. But at heart he was tiring of this relationship with his \"fake\" mother. In his mind she was a Nazi, a fascist, and a collaborator with foreign soldiers. He recalls travelling to Holland to introduce a girlfriend to Johanna - keeping up appearances.\n\nInside the Dutch restaurant, folk music played and locals danced. Johanna got carried away, he said. A local man whirled her around the dance floor, and suddenly the spy saw her as a young girl, dancing with the Nazi soldiers.\n\nA blind rage swept over him like a fire. \"She is at that again,\" he thought. \"She never changes. She is 60!\" One of the men held Johanna close, and gave a friend a suggestive wink. It nearly tipped van Haarlem over the edge.\n\nSome time later, back in London, Van Haarlem's telephone shrieked. The blissful silence in his apartment was shattered. He sat up in bed and checked the time. It was 03:00.\n\n\"Dear son, I could not help it, I had to hear your voice.\" Johanna was slurring. Van Haarlem guessed she had been drinking. \"I will sell my house and come to London,\" she said. \"We will live together.\"\n\n\"I absolutely understand why you are so upset, Mum,\" he said. \"Of course it would be wonderful to live together, especially since our fate prevented us doing so in the past. Mum, you know what? Let's go to bed now and think about it overnight. I will call you tomorrow.\"\n\nHe slammed down the phone but could not drift back to sleep. He was growing increasingly concerned about her behaviour. He simply couldn't afford her to be a liability. His life depended on it. But there was little he could do - he was stuck with her.\n\nOn her next visit, mother and son were driving through Golders Green in North London when Van Haarlem forgot to give the right of way to another car. The other driver slammed on his brakes to avoid a crash.\n\n\"Sorry, friend!\" said Erwin pleasantly, with a wave of his hand.\n\nJohanna snapped. \"Why are you apologising?\" she shouted. \"You are so yielding, so soft! A typical Slav!\"\n\nVan Haarlem was shocked. \"He had the right of way,\" he said.\n\n\"Right of way! Right of way!\" she parroted.\n\nGripping the wheel, the spy fumed. \"You'll pay with interest for that,\" he thought. But he would never get the chance.\n\nOne afternoon in autumn 1986 Van Haarlem noticed two cars driving closely behind him, pulling manoeuvres he recognised from his spy training.\n\n\"They must be tailing someone,\" he thought. Then the penny dropped: \"They are tailing you! You stupid ass!\"\n\nHe had by now quit his job at the Hilton - after rising from a lowly waiter to assistant purchase manager. He had set up himself up as a freelance artist and art dealer, and paid cash for the unassuming flat in Friern Barnet.\n\nIt should have been the last place anyone would look for a foreign spy, but it soon became a hotbed of chicanery. There was the technician who came to \"fix\" his telephone, the new postmen, and the dedicated window cleaners who washed his windows not weekly, but seemingly daily.\n\nVan Haarlem was not the only one who noticed peculiar goings-on.\n\nMrs Saint, 61, who co-ordinated the local Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, said she telephoned the police in November 1987 to report strange noises and a \"Morse code\" interference which affected her television reception every night at 21:20.\n\nSoon afterwards, in April 1988, that mysterious van parked outside Van Haarlem's apartment.\n\nJohanna van Haarlem heard about the arrest on BBC radio. Then investigators arrived at her home and asked her to testify against the spy at his trial.\n\n\"When we finally made eye contact I felt hurt. I didn't see any sign of remorse, not a wink, no warmth, nothing,\" she said of the trial. A part of her was in denial, continuing to look in vain for a son's affection. \"He showed me coldness,\" she said, \"and looked at me like this was the end.\"\n\nVan Haarlem was sent to Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight. After five years, the end of the Cold War, and a hunger strike, he was released and deported to what had by then become the Czech Republic.\n\nI asked if he ever felt any compassion for Johanna.\n\n\"I had no pity whatsoever,\" he said.\n\n\"She was rather dominant and I had to put up with her. Sometimes I had enough of her,\" he added, describing many real mother-son relationships.\n\nDuring the five years he spent in a prison cell, he went on, one thing about his case remained a puzzle. It was a statement that Johanna made about how she found him. \"Without being asked,\" he told me, \"she said only on her own, from her own will, she started the whole action, trying to find me.\"\n\nFrom her own will. It was a funny thing to say, he thought.\n\nWas it a coincidence that Johanna's motherly instincts awakened just months after his application for a Dutch passport? Who else might have inspired her to track down her son, and why? We may never know, as Johanna van Haarlem died in 2004. However, the spy has his own theory.\n\n\"We thought she was under the guidance of MI5 or the Dutch security service,\" he said.\n\nCould Johanna also have been a spy? Though it seems unlikely, in this world of disguise and deception, anything is possible.\n\nAdapted from The Spy With No Name by @JeffMaysh (Amazon Kindle Singles), published today.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nVenue: Date: Kick-off:Coverage: Live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 live and BBC local radio; text commentary on the BBC Sport website & app\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted he is not ready to quit management, despite saying he is \"arriving at the end\" of his career.\n\nThe 45-year-old made the comments in an interview with NBC, which was aired last weekend.\n\nSpeaking before Friday's FA Cup third-round tie at West Ham, Guardiola said: \"Maybe it was inappropriate to say I'm starting to say goodbye to my career.\n\n\"I'm not thinking that I'm going to retire.\"\n\nGuardiola took over at Manchester City in the summer, after winning 14 trophies in four years at Spanish giants Barcelona and three successive Bundesliga titles with German club Bayern Munich.\n\n\"I said in the interview that I won't be a trainer when I'm 60.

John Nixon says Saddam Hussein was the most secretive man he has ever met\n\nWhen former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was captured in December 2003, the CIA required a specialist who could identify and interrogate him for information. That person was John Nixon.\n\nMr Nixon had studied Saddam Hussein since joining the CIA in 1998. His role was to gather insight into leaders around the world, analysing \"what made them tick,\" he tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\n\"When a crisis hits, policy makers come to us with the questions about who these people are, what they want, why are they doing this.\"\n\nHe had been in Iraq when the ousted leader was discovered by US troops in a small, underground hole next to farm buildings near his hometown of Tikrit.\n\nWhen the news of Hussein's discovery came through, the US needed him to be identified - a task presented to Mr Nixon.\n\nThere had been rumours at the time that Saddam Hussein had numerous body doubles, but Mr Nixon - who left the CIA in 2011 - says \"there was no doubt in my mind as soon as I saw him, that it was him\".\n\nThe \"spider hole\" where Saddam Hussein was hiding when he was captured\n\n\"When I started talking to him, he gave me the same look he had on a book that had sat on my desk for years. Surreal doesn't come close.\"\n\nMr Nixon took on the role of interrogator and was the first person to question Saddam Hussein at length, doing so across a number of days.\n\n\"I had to keep pinching myself that I was questioning the most wanted man in the world. It seemed ludicrous,\" he says.\n\nMr Nixon, author of Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein, describes the former leader as a \"mass of contradictions\".\n\nHe saw \"the human side\" of Saddam Hussein, he says, in great contrast to the depiction presented by US media.\n\n\"He was one of the most charismatic individuals I've ever encountered. When he wanted to be he could be charming, nice, funny and polite.\"\n\nBut he could also switch to a much darker side. Mr Nixon describes him as rude, arrogant, nasty and mean-spirited - and scary when he lost his temper.\n\n\"There were two or three occasions when my questioning got on his bad side,\" Mr Nixon says.\n\nHussein had been unrestrained as he sat in the small, dingy room in which he was interrogated, sitting on a metal, foldable chair.\n\nOnly Mr Nixon, a polygrapher and an interpreter were also present in the room.\n\nNevertheless, Mr Nixon says the former leader - as a narcissist - \"liked the interaction he got by talking to me\".\n\nAt the end of the first session, in which Mr Nixon tried to establish a rapport with Saddam Hussein in the hope he would cooperate, Saddam said he had enjoyed the conversation.\n\n\"He had been in hiding for months and hadn't had many conversations,\" Mr Nixon says.\n\nIt was a positive start, but the next day Mr Nixon says Saddam Hussein \"came back more suspicious\".\n\n\"He is one of the most suspicious men I've ever met - every question I asked him he had one for me.\"\n\nMr Nixon admits the CIA had little to offer Hussein in the way of an incentive to speak.\n\n\"We had to appeal to sense of history and the prospect of him getting his views heard on record, and by the highest of powers in the world.\"\n\nIn 2006, Saddam Hussein was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging\n\nThere were certain subject areas he was required to cover by the CIA, but otherwise he was left to his own devices.\n\n\"I knew I had to try and get answers.\n\n\"Working for the agency, you are taught how to debrief sources and make them into potential assets.\n\n\"But you have to be very careful as you don't want to risk not being able to extract the most information possible by going at a topic in the wrong way.\"\n\nThe most important subject area was that of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).\n\nThe US and UK had used allegations of Iraqi WMDs as a key reason for going to war.\n\nMr Nixon says \"it was all the White House wanted to know\", but - from his conversations with Saddam Hussein, his advisers and subsequent research to verify or dismiss his claims - he came to the conclusion that the former Iraqi leader had stopped the country's nuclear weapons program years before and had not intended to restart it.\n\nIt was a view that led him and his colleagues to be seen as \"failures\".\n\nHe was not invited to debrief President George W Bush until five years later, in 2008, following separate findings on Saddam Hussein from the FBI.\n\nMr Nixon is particularly scathing of President Bush, saying - as one of few people that have shaken the hands of both him and Saddam Hussein - he would rather spend time with the latter.\n\nPresident Bush, he says, was \"isolated from reality\", with advisers that would \"rally around him regardless and nod in agreement\".\n\n\"I used to think what we said at the CIA mattered and the president would listen, but it doesn't matter what we say, politics trumps intelligence.\"\n\nMr Nixon says he is \"ashamed\" of what has happened in Iraq since the ousting of Saddam Hussein.\n\nHe says the Bush administration gave no thought as to what events might take place after Saddam's removal, and - in light of the rise of extremist groups such as the so-called \"Islamic State\" - believes the region would have been better off had he remained in place.\n\nSuch claims have been dismissed by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who led the country at the time of the invasion.\n\nThe BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.\n• None Blair: World better because of Iraq War", "Archaeologist Stuart Wilson, who spent his life savings on a plot of land in Wales 12 years ago, has been proven right after uncovering a 13th century settlement.\n\nThe ancient town of Trellech was believed by academics to be situated under a modern village nearby, until Wilson and his team of volunteers began making progress.", "Last updated on .From the section Rugby League\n\nCastleford Tigers will claim they should receive £500,000 in compensation after winger Denny Solomona left to join Sale Sharks in December.\n\nSolomona, 23, is alleged to have demanded his wages were doubled before his controversial rugby code switch.\n\nCourt papers seen by the BBC claim Sale had been agitating for Solomona to move since last summer, and that they acted with the player and agent Andy Clarke.\n\nThe papers also allege Sale knew he was under contract until November 2018.\n• None The legal case that could impact rugby as Bosman did football\n\nAnd they claim that Sale and the agent entered into a \"cynical calculation\" that they would be better off if the player breached his contract rather than negotiate a transfer fee.\n\nThe court papers include an email that Castleford say was sent by Sale's director of rugby Steve Diamond to the Tigers chief executive Steve Gill in which an offer of £50,000 compensation was made.\n\nAn earlier offer of £150,000 rising to £200,000 had been withdrawn.\n\nIn the email, it is claimed, Diamond writes: \"…legal advice has been sourced and we are confident that when he walks away he will be free to play rugby union.\n\n\"I… do not want to get the lawyers involved, it isn't our style and it will be a distraction as well as expensive to go through the courts for the next two years.\n\n\"The club are prepared to pay £50,000 immediately and you will release Denny from his contract at the end of September after your last match.\n\n\"Hopefully you will see the sense in a quick, quiet deal.\"\n\nCastleford are taking legal action against Solomona, his agent and the Sale club.\n\nIt is understood that the claim was only issued in the High Court of Justice in Leeds last month.\n\nAt the time of writing, attempts to contact Sale for comment had been unsuccessful but director of rugby Diamond has previously denied that the club, the player or the agent have done anything wrong.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. What is it like inside Guantanamo Bay?\n\nThese are uncertain times at Guantanamo Bay. Not only for the detainees but also those who guard them. After eight years in which President Obama has tried - and failed - to close the detention facility, what will President Trump mean for its future?\n\nThe first detainees arrived at Camp X-Ray 15 years ago in the early months of what was then called the \"War on Terror\". I first visited a few weeks later and watched the men in orange jumpsuits in steel cages in the hot Cuban sun.\n\nGuantanamo had been chosen partly because it was not US soil and so avoided coming under regular US law. The camp then had a thrown together feel - the Bush administration was improvising and no-one was sure how long it would last.\n\nThe orange jumpsuits worn by detainees became notorious\n\nThe next time I visited - two years later - Camp X-Ray had been replaced by the more permanent structure of Camp Delta. Guantanamo was here to stay.\n\nIts numbers grew - around 700 at its peak. But on his second day in office eight years ago President Obama promised to close the facility and the pace of transfers increased.\n\nOn my visit a few weeks ago, I found much of the Camp eerily empty, a lone iguana roaming around the barbed wire. But closing Guantanamo was a promise President Obama could not keep, partly because Congress blocked the transfer of any detainees to the US.\n\nFewer than 60 men are now left. There are 20 currently cleared for release and the Obama administration is trying to transfer some of these out before its term ends.\n\nBut on 3 January, President-elect Trump made his views clear in a tweet.\n\n\"There should be no further releases,\" he wrote. \"These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back on to the battlefield.\"\n\nMost of the remaining detainees are held now in Camp Six.\n\nInside a cell in Camp Six at Guantanamo Bay\n\nThe uncertainty hanging over the base was clear as we toured the detention block. We were able to watch and film detainees in the communal areas of their cell block through one-way glass, an unsettling procedure.\n\nThe detainees are not supposed to know we are there but clearly they realised as one put up a hand-painted sign showing a question mark with a padlock underneath.\n\nThey followed the election result like everyone else and Col Steve Gabavics, Commander of the Joint Detention Force, told me: \"They were all watching TV - their behaviour was pretty much the same as any other night.\n\n\"We didn't notice any significant negative response. No-one came to us angry, no-one protested. They were simply interested to see what was going to happen.\"\n\nColonel Steve Gabavics said they noticed no reaction to Donald Trump's election victory\n\nOne difference from my early visits is just how much more controlled - even mundane - the interaction between detainees and guards is now compared to the early days.\n\nThe attacks of 2001 were still raw and there was a tension and sense of underlying aggression on both sides. Now, the atmosphere is much more controlled.\n\nDetainees tap on a window to summon a guard when they have a message to pass and the guard proceeds through a door into a cage-like structure inside the cell-block where they can communicate with a detainee.\n\nDuring our visit in December, officials say that the detainees were \"compliant\".\n\nBut what does the arrival of President Trump mean?\n\n\"You know the detainees have questions - are the transfers going to stop when the new president takes office on 20 January? We don't know, they don't know. Their lawyers may speculate, but no-one knows,\" says Rear Adm Peter Clarke, commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo.\n\nHe did say - before Donald Trump's latest tweet - that \"some of them may act up\" if they realise they are not going to be transferred.\n\nSomewhere else on the base, which sprawls across an otherwise isolated tip of Cuba, is Camp Seven. Its precise location is secret - leading to much speculation from visiting reporters.\n\nThis is where so-called high value detainees are being held - men like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 11 September attacks who is going through the long slow process of a military commission - a form of trial.\n\nKhalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in March 2003 and sent to the US detention centre in Cuba in 2006\n\nMight it be not only that transfers out are stopped, but that current detainees find they have some company?\n\n\"We are going to load it up with bad dudes,\" Mr Trump said in the campaign trail in February last year.\n\nCamp Five was built to hold detainees but now sits empty. What if President Trump decides he wants to not just stop people leaving but send in new detainees?\n\nThe maximum capacity of Camp Six is around 175 detainees. Camp Five could hold 80 - it has been part-converted to a new medical facility. That means potentially Guantanamo could accommodate more than 100 extra detainees pretty much immediately. More than that would require construction work.\n\nOfficials say it is a \"reasonable assumption\" that they would want to segregate new detainees who would be more likely to be members of so-called Islamic State rather than al-Qaeda.\n\n\"We are prepared to receive some if that was required in the short term,\" Col Gabavics told us.\n\nThe Obama administration's push to close Guantanamo also meant there was a reluctance to capture more detainees in counter-terrorism operations around the world, some former officials say.\n\nThey believe that a policy of \"take no prisoners\" created an incentive to kill rather than capture, with the administration increasing the pace and the geographical spread of drone strikes which - on occasion - might mean useful intelligence gleaned from interrogation or captured material might be lost.\n\nRear Adm Peter Clarke said he is confident he will not be asked to torture detainees\n\nMr Trump has also said that he would consider returning to the practice of waterboarding detainees. Could that take place at Guantanamo? Rear Adm Clarke said he was \"confident\" that there will be no torture at Guantanamo.\n\n\"Whatever orders we receive, by the time they come to me from US Southern Command, I am confident those orders will be legal orders that I will be ready to carry out,\" he said.\n\nIn the 15 years since Guantanamo was opened, the contours of America's war on terror have changed.\n\nNew enemies have emerged and the question of what to do with those America is fighting - where to put them, how to treat them and even whether to kill or capture them - will now be for a new president to decide.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Amit Patel's guide dog, Kika, carries a camera which records the discrimination he can't see\n\nUnable to see the world around him, Amit Patel fitted his guide dog with a camera and set about recording evidence of the discrimination he faced but could not see.\n\n\"The city is a scary place. It's like someone put you in the middle of Trafalgar Square, turned you in a circle and said 'find your way home'.\"\n\nThat is Amit Patel's new reality after he lost his sight unexpectedly in 2012, 18 months after he got married.\n\nHe now relies on guide dog Kika to get him around the once familiar streets of London.\n\nBut the footage captured by his canine guide hasn't always shown a city willing to help him.\n\n\"The video came out of necessity,\" Patel says. \"Kika was getting hit by peoples' bags and she was getting a lot of abuse. A woman stopped me one day and had a go at me for holding everyone up and said I should apologise, which was a real shock.\"\n\nThe former doctor found a solution - attach a GoPro to Kika's harness and film every journey. Patel's wife, Seema, can then review the footage if it is felt there was something amiss about that day.\n\nAnd when alterations were made to a London train station the camera came into its own.\n\n\"I asked for help and no one came,\" Patel recounts. \"The video shows lots of staff standing around me and this one guy looking over many times.\n\n\"Eventually when the staff member actually came to me the first thing he said was 'sorry I didn't see you' and that really bugged me. He wouldn't say that to someone who wasn't visually impaired.\n\n\"It really makes me angry. It's the fact that someone is fobbing me off.\"\n\nAn image from Kika's footage of the Network Rail incident in London\n\nThe footage was sent to Network Rail giving Patel the \"valuable evidence\" needed to lodge a formal complaint about an incident he couldn't see.\n\n\"It made me feel vulnerable but having the footage was a godsend,\" he says.\n\n\"Having the camera, having the voice, having the actual scenario played out in real time it actually gives me something to go back to the company and say 'this is what happened to me and it needs to be sorted'.\"\n\nThe video had an impact and Network Rail investigated before giving further training to its staff.\n\nKika's camera captures an image of Amit on the London Underground\n\n\"While in this instance the event and associated disruption was not organised by or held at the station itself, we do recognise that the station can be a complicated place to navigate,\" a spokesman says.\n\n\"That is why we have hired many extra staff to look after passengers.\"\n\nFor newly blind Patel, standing alone for several minutes can feel like hours.\n\n\"One of the things I noticed with losing my sight is how lonely it is. If I'm travelling by public transport I will be the scared little boy sat in the corner. You can't listen to music because you're listening out for dangers or to station announcements.\"\n\nPatel says it is only since he lost his sight that he has become aware of the discrimination visually impaired people can face.\n\nPatel learned he had keratoconus - a condition which changes the shape of the cornea - in the final year of medical school.\n\nLenses to push the corneas back into shape stopped working and six cornea transplants were rejected by his body until he was told \"no more\".\n\nIt was a series of burst blood vessels which caused the unexpected loss of sight within 48 hours.\n\nPatel says: \"I woke up every morning thinking I'd get my sight back. For about six months I was quite shut off, depressed and I would go to the bathroom and have a cry.\n\n\"The one thing that stayed in my mind was that I would never see my loved ones. It was holding on to the last memories I had.\"\n\n\"There are taxi drivers who will see you and won't stop. You phone the company and they say they didn't see you, but you look at the footage and see them having looked at you and driving right past.\"\n\nOther incidents he says highlight a lack of thought - especially on London's Underground.\n\n\"People assume, because I have a guide dog, I can walk around them but they make us walk near the tracks or I can say to Kika 'find me a seat' and I'll put my hand down on one and someone will sit on it and refuse to get up.\"\n\nThe loss of his sight led Patel to change his life dramatically. The former University College Hospital doctor moved to New Eltham in south London so his wife didn't have to travel so far for work and wouldn't spend so much time away from him.\n\nThe view of New Eltham High Street from Kika's camera\n\nPatel says he had assumed, as a doctor, he would know where to get support, but he found that wasn't the case and he became frustrated at the simple mistakes he made - miscalculations led to stair falls and fingers were burnt from trying to find out how full his coffee cup was.\n\nBeyond the major life changes there were more subtle experiences too.\n\n\"Your balance goes awry. I felt like I walked on a cloud sometimes, and if I find a pair of shoes I'll buy three pairs because a change in grip makes a real difference.\n\n\"My hearing's increased and my sense of smell, and the way I touch things.\"\n\nThere have also been more unexpected side effects.\n\nThe camera has given Amit the confidence to go out alone with Kika and his baby son\n\n\"I have small pixels of light coming into my eyes and my brain interprets that as images. It'll put four pixels together and build a photo - so you may be sitting on the couch while thinking a car's coming towards you.\"\n\nPatel now supports people who have lost their sight unexpectedly and gives talks to community organisations using the GoPro footage to demonstrate what Kika sees.\n\nDespite all the challenges he has faced, including coming to terms with never seeing his baby son, Patel has accepted his new world.\n\n\"My life at the moment is so much more vivid, it's more colourful than it was when I had sight.\n\n\"It still fills me with dread leaving the house, because I have no control and am completely reliant on Kika, but we're out all of the time - any excuse.\"\n\nFor more follow on Twitter and Facebook and subscribe to the weekly podcast.\n\nJoin the BBC Stories conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Visitors have been enjoying a new floating walkway on the Hongshui River in China's Guizhou Province.\n\nCovering an area of 54,000 sq m, it's hoped the path will attract more tourists to the region in the winter months.", "Farming has the most to gain - and lose from Brexit\n\nOf all UK industries, farming could lose or gain the most from Brexit.\n\nAt worst Brexit could devastate the farming sector; on average 60% of farm incomes come in the form of EU subsidies.\n\nThe report by Informa Agribusiness Intelligence estimates that without subsidies 90% of farms would collapse and land prices would crash.\n\nSo far no one has said the subsidies will be taken away, or even that they will shrink.\n\nIndeed, the government has promised to match them up until 2020.\n\nBut beyond that it has promised nothing.\n\nSome argue that without any subsidies at all, nine in 10 farms would collapse as businesses\n\nThis week has seen a flurry of activity as the farming industry tries to grapple with what comes next.\n\nMPs from the Environmental Audit Committee warned on Tuesday of the dangers of Brexit to farming. Its report, the Future of the Natural Environment after the EU Referendum, says:\n\nMeanwhile farmers gathered at the Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) this week to listen to the Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom, but there were precious few details on what would happen once EU subsidies go.\n\n\"We will be consulting in the near future on exactly the shape of future farm and agriculture support,\" said Ms Leadsom. \"I will be committed to supporting farming in both the short and longer term.\"\n\nAndrea Leadsom gave few details on what would happen to farming after the UK leaves the EU\n\nAlso at the OFC was George Eustice, Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA, who was a little more detailed.\n\n\"I want to support agriculture to where it becomes more profitable, more vibrant, so we see expanding food production in this country, where we are supporting farmers to deliver eco-system services.\n\n\"So that rather than telling them 'here's a subsidy now here's a list of environmental demands', we should be saying to farmers you have a role to play to enhance our agricultural environment, and we are going to reward you for those services that you offer.\"\n\nThe Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) started in 1962 as the first members of what is now the EU emerged from over a decade of food shortages during and after World War Two.\n\nIts emphasis was on production and food security but as farmers were paid for whatever they produced, they over-produced leading to food \"mountains\".\n\nA reform process, including the \"greening\" of the CAP which emphasised environmental practices, has resulted in farmers mostly being paid depending on how much land they own - but some wealthy UK landowners now receive subsidies of up to £3m a year.\n\nFor instance, the Newmarket farm of Khalid Abdullah al Saud, billionaire owner of the legendary horse Frankel, receives £400,000 a year. Lord Iveagh who lives on the 22,486-acre Elveden Estate in Suffolk, receives over £900,000.\n\nYet working out what to replace EU subsidies with is raising passions.\n\nMany farmers see opportunities once the UK is no longer in the Common Agricultural Policy\n\nAt the same conference the journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot had a run-in with the deputy head of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Minette Batters over the role of farmers after Brexit.\n\nMr Monbiot believes farming subsidies should be replaced by a fund to alleviate rural poverty, an environmental fund and help for new entrants into the sector.\n\nWhen he asked Ms Batters if she was happy to see subsidies paid to wealthy farmers. Ms Batters hesitated and then said: \"It depends on what they do with it,\" adding \"I can't emphasise it enough, farmers embrace the environment\".\n\nAn aghast-looking Mr Monbiot replied saying \"Farmers, have, more than any other group been responsible for the environmental degradation of the countryside.\"\n\nA few hundred yards down the road, another conference was going on. This was the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC), set up 10 years ago to give an alternative view on farming.\n\nWhile the OFC is all suits, largely men, and a large NFU presence, the ORFC is more woolly jumpers, more women, more beards and more delegates, many of them young.\n\nIf there is no free trade agreement with the EU Britain would rely on trading rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation\n\nThe two are not absolutely opposed to each other - coming together this year for the first time to jointly discuss the weighty subject of cheese and how to produce it.\n\nAnd the feeling at both conferences is that, despite uncertainties, everyone sees huge opportunities once the UK is no longer in the Common Agricultural Policy.\n\nAnd, of course, everyone is pushing their own agenda.\n\nGuy Watson, the founder of the country's largest organic retailer, Riverford Organic Farmers, bravely told a gathering of livestock farmers that \"there is no getting away from it, we have to eat less meat\"\n\nDavid Baldock, a senior fellow at the Institute for European Environmental Policy said: \"It's really not the end of the world to think that we are going to produce slightly less and better.\"\n\nSurprisingly neither were shouted down and there were even suggestions from the audience that VAT ought to be levied on meat.\n\nWhile most of the lobby groups have a view on reforming subsidies, they are less clear about the problem of trade.\n\n90% of UK exports in beef and lamb go to the EU\n\nIf there is no free trade agreement with the EU, Britain would rely on trading rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) which could be very uncomfortable for farmers having to pay taxes, or tariffs, to sell into the single market.\n\nCalum Kerr, MSP and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokesman for the SNP, said 90% of beef and lamb exports, and 70% of pork exports go to the EU.\n\n\"WTO rules would look at a minimum tariff into the EU of 20%. On red meat which ... is critically important [economic] modelling suggests anywhere between 50% and.... a 76% increase in costs into the EU market.\n\n\"That's why we believe we should remain a part of the EU market.\"\n\nThe NFU's Ms Batters said: \"We have to do a deal with Europe and it is a deal that will shape our landscape for generations to come.\"\n\nNearly every farmer believes Brexit offers an opportunity to change the system, but exactly how is a matter for debate\n\nAs for competing with countries outside the EU, Ms Leadsom promised she wouldn't lower environmental and animal welfare standards to clinch free trade deals.\n\nMs Batters, herself a beef farmer, said: \"The problem is that getting free trade deals in agriculture is notoriously difficult.\n\n\"Take Argentina. Michael Gove says he wants to do a deal with the South American countries. \"But they have a completely different system of rearing beef, using a degree of genetically modified products.\n\n\"I simply can't compete with that.\"\n\nNearly everyone believes Brexit offers an opportunity to change the system, but no one can agree how.", "Donald Trump is not popular in Mexico\n\nMexico is being blamed by President-elect Donald Trump for taking jobs from the US.\n\nHe's been putting pressure on US companies not to move jobs south, and this week Ford announced it was investing in its factory in Michigan rather than building a new plant in Mexico.\n\nDuring 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.\n\nBut what impact has Nafta had in Mexico, and what would its potential demise mean for the country?\n\nIn a leafy square in Mexico City on a warm December evening a group of excited children are hitting a brightly coloured pinata stuffed with sweets. A fellow passer-by explains to me that pinatas are a Mexican tradition, particularly at Christmas and birthdays.\n\nHowever, Mexicans also like pinatas \"in the shape of everything we want to hit\", he says. \"The latest trend is Donald Trump pinatas,\" he adds.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A look back at some of the things Donald Trump has said about Mexicans\n\nMr Trump is not popular in Mexico. He was incredibly rude about Mexicans during his election campaign, and at a time when the world seems to be turning away from free trade he threatened to end the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) between the US, Mexico and Canada.\n\nThe important thing about Nafta is that companies importing and exporting between the three countries pay no tariffs. Mr Trump believes it's been bad for the US as cheaper Mexican labour has meant some US manufacturers have moved production across the border, resulting in job losses at home.\n\nNafta was implemented in 1994 and over the past 23 years Mexico has grown as a manufacturing hub. Today the United States and Mexico trade over $500bn (£400bn) in goods and services a year, equal to about $1.5bn a day. Mexico is the US's second-biggest export market, and the US is Mexico's largest.\n\nThierry Legros says without Nafta his farming business would be under threat\n\nRed Sun Farms, a large vegetable-growing firm in central Mexico, depends on the free trade agreement. Its managing director, Thierry Legros, shows me into a vast greenhouse, 200m long, with row upon row of tomato plants. The company also grows peppers and exports 90% of its crop to the US and Canada.\n\nSo what would it mean if Mr Trump repealed the Nafta agreement completely with its tariff-free trading? \"We might need to close the whole company,\" Thierry tells me. \"It would be around 3,000 direct jobs, so with all the indirect that's quite a lot, probably double that.\"\n\nOutside Thierry's office three flags flutter in the wind - one for each Nafta country.\n\nThe three Nafta flags at Red Sun Farms reflect the company's integration within the free trade area\n\nRed Sun Farms even owns a farm in the US and sends Mexican workers over there. However, there's a stark wage differential, with pay significantly higher in the US.\n\n\"Right now with the exchange rate that's huge,\" Thierry explains, \"it's about one to eight, one to 10.\"\n\nThese Red Sun Farms workers in Mexico earn far less than their counterparts in the US\n\nAs well as enabling Mexico to export freely, Nafta also opened the door to US imports, giving Mexican consumers much greater choice.\n\n\"It was an achievement, it was against history,\" says economic consultant Luis de la Calle, who was one of the negotiators of the free trade agreement.\n\n\"Most Mexicans thought that it was impossible or not convenient to have a strategic association with the US, and many people in the US never thought that Mexico could be their partner.\"\n\nYou can listen to In Business: Mexico and Mr Trump on BBC Radio 4 at 20:30 GMT on Thursday, 5 January and at 21:30 GMT on Sunday, 8 January.\n\nIncreased demand, as a result of free trade, forced Mexican manufacturers to improve quality.\n\nLuis de la Calle says that before Nafta Mexico had three producers of TV sets, and the quality was \"awful\". But today, Mexico is \"the largest manufacturer of TV sets in the world\". They are exported and are \"high quality, completely different from the protected market we had before\".\n\nThe instantly recognisable VW Beetles are manufactured in Puebla, Mexico\n\nMexico is now a centre of manufacturing for overseas companies, such as the motor industry. General Motors and Ford both have factories in Mexico as well as the US.\n\nBut Donald Trump has put public pressure on US companies not to move production, and has threatened to impose import duties on cars coming in from Mexico. It's a sensitive subject and the American carmakers refused to be interviewed.\n\nDonald Trump had this message for the car industry earlier this week\n\nHowever, in the city of Puebla, a two-hour drive from the capital, the German car manufacturer Volkswagen is the biggest employer with 14,000 staff. It's the only place in the world where VW produces its famous Beetle, and as you enter the site you're greeted by a display of Beetles suspended in the air like a piece of installation art. The Golf and Jetta models are also produced here.\n\nThomas Karig from VW Mexico was tight-lipped about whether the firm had come under any pressure about jobs\n\nLike the US carmakers, Volkswagen's Mexican production is integrated with its US plant. \"We use a lot of parts coming from the US for assembly here in Mexico in Puebla, and our colleagues in Chattanooga in Tennessee - they use a lot of parts coming from Mexico,\" explains Thomas Karig from Volkswagen Mexico.\n\nThis integration is possible because there are no tariffs to pay each time components are sent from one Nafta country to another. But when I ask whether Volkswagen has come under pressure from Mr Trump about keeping jobs in the US, the atmosphere cools and there is a curt \"no comment\".\n\nThe Nafta agreement has not benefited everyone in Mexico though. Some small farmers were unable to compete with US agricultural imports and big Mexican rivals.\n\nAccording to a study by the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, from 1991 to 2007 some 4.9 million family farmers were displaced. Some found work with big exporting agricultural companies, but there was still a net loss of 1.9 million jobs.\n\nThree of Aurelio's children are illegal migrants in the US\n\nAn hour's drive from Puebla I meet Aurelio, whose family has farmed a tiny patch of land since 1925. Deep in the dry countryside he raises a few cows.\n\nJob opportunities are scarce and three of his five children have migrated illegally to the US where they have found work painting cars. But Donald Trump has said he wants to deport illegal immigrants. Aurelio takes out his mobile phone and calls one of his sons in the US. Is his son worried about this, I ask.\n\nHis son says that if there is a chance of being deported they will have to look elsewhere, but adds: \"Mexico is a tough choice because of lack of opportunities, violence, high taxes and the economic situation, so it wouldn't be easy.\"\n\nPresident Obama has deported at least 2.4 million illegal immigrants so this isn't a new policy. And according to the Pew Research Center, by 2014 more Mexican immigrants returned to Mexico than migrated to the US.\n\nLuis de la Calle says both the US and Mexico benefit from Nafta\n\nMr de la Calle acknowledges that the free trade agreement has split the country. He says there are two types of regions in Mexico.\n\n\"[There are] parts of the south of Mexico that are disconnected from international trade, that are lagging behind, where Nafta had little impact. Rates of growth are low, there is little investment, and you don't see large manufacturing operations.\"\n\nIn contrast to this, he says: \"There are 16 or 17 other states that grow very fast, you see a lot of dynamism.\" These he describes as \"Nafta states\" with exporting businesses.\n\nHowever, he dismisses Mr Trump's criticism of Mexico. \"He says [Nafta's] been great for Mexico, actually his whole argument is that Mexico is doing so well. It's flattering.\"\n\nHe also claims that the US is benefiting from its close manufacturing links with Mexico.\n\nHowever, when I ask who would come off worst if Nafta were repealed, the US or Mexico, he answers, \"Mexico because we are smaller, but the US would lose quite a bit as well.\"\n\nDonald Trump wasn't the first US presidential candidate to criticise Nafta.

It enthralled a nation and helped change the age-old principle that a murder could not be proved without a body.\n\n\"Oh it couldn't possibly be him,\" said Lilian Tinsley to the assembled police.\n\nOfficers had a lead in the disappearance of Mona, her slight but sprightly 10-year-old daughter, but needed help.\n\nJust hours after she vanished after leaving her Newark-on-Trent school on 5 January 1937, a witness identified a man seen nearby as a former lodger from the Tinsleys' home.\n\nLocal historian Chris Hobbs said: \"The reaction of Lilian and her husband Wilfred, when questioned, was odd. They seemed evasive.\n\nThe house at the centre of the case has changed little on the outside\n\n\"When pressed by officers, Mrs Tinsley admitted they briefly had a lodger, known to the children as 'Uncle Fred'.\n\n\"Eventually she gave a name, Frederick Hudson, and, seemingly with great reluctance, the fact he was a friend of her sister Edith Grimes in Sheffield.\n\n\"Why would the parents be like this with the safety of their daughter at stake?\" Mr Hobbs queried.\n\nA possible, and murky, answer would emerge.\n\nMrs Grimes gave them a slightly different name - Frederick Nodder - but insisted she had not seen him for months. This turned out to be a blatant lie.\n\nOfficers quickly found a neighbour who had seen Nodder in Sheffield just after Christmas, driving a lorry marked 'Retford', a market town in Nottinghamshire.\n\nThis led them to a haulage firm which provided an address in the nearby hamlet of Hayton. It was only a day since Mona had disappeared.\n\nBritish justice was haunted by the wrongful execution of three people in 1660\n\nLegal historian Benjamin Darlow says: \"This principle dates back to the case of William Harrison in 1660, known as the Campden Wonder. Mr Harrison disappeared from near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, in 1660 and two men and a woman were found guilty and hanged for the crime.\n\n\"In 1662, Mr Harrison turned up with a story about being kidnapped. This had a dramatic impact on English criminal law and the 'no body, no murder' principle survived for the next 294 years.\n\n\"The Mona Tinsley case was part of an important narrative in the 20th Century which built up to the abolition of the principle in English Law in 1954.\n\n\"It was perhaps the most high-profile and widely reported case in this timeline.\n\n\"There is no longer a 'no body, no murder' principle in English criminal law.\n\n\"A murder conviction can be based on circumstantial evidence if it is compelling and convincing enough.\n\n\"While the principle is gone, it is still very difficult to prove murder without a body, unless there is alternative strong evidence pointing to the murderer.\"\n\nConfronted outside his rented house, Nodder, 50, denied any involvement but a girl was seen at the house at about noon that day, just a few hours before.\n\nA search found a child's drawings as well as fingerprints on crockery. Nodder was arrested.\n\nWitnesses placed him on a bus from Newark to Retford on Tuesday afternoon. He was accompanied by a girl.\n\nFaced by this evidence, Nodder asked to see Mrs Grimes, insisting this would lead to Mona being found \"alive and well\".\n\nNodder's house (centre, between trees) was a short distance from the Chesterfield canal\n\nMr Hobbs said: \"It came out that Mrs Grimes had in fact seen Nodder on a weekly basis since he left Sheffield. She knew full well where Nodder lived but did not tell police.\n\n\"Newspaper reports describe them as being \"friendly\" but it is striking how both she and Mrs Tinsley tried to deflect attention away from Nodder.\n\n\"It seems likely Mrs Grimes was having an affair with him but it is surprising both she and Mona's own mother were prepared to obstruct the police investigation.\n\n\"Had it delayed the search by vital hours?\"\n\nHundreds of people turned out to search fields and help police drag local rivers\n\nBut when they met, Nodder offered only a statement insisting he had sent Mona to Sheffield to see Mrs Grimes.\n\nNobody believed a word of Nodder's new statement - but the lack of a corpse hampered the investigation.\n\nAfter searches of the house, garden, nearby countryside and the ominously close Chesterfield canal, and just beyond it the River Idle, fat with winter rain, no new trace of the girl was uncovered.\n\nOn 10 January 1937 Nodder was charged, but only with abduction.\n\nDivining, or dowsing, claims the twitching of sticks can locate lost objects or water sources\n\nThe desperate search for Mona used many conventional methods - but also some more bizarre efforts.\n\nDiviners - who search for an item with the aid of sticks or rods and mysterious intuition - featured prominently in the hunt for the girl, often seeming to direct the efforts of police.\n\nMost prominent was James Clarke of Melton Mowbray, who, carrying one of Mona's shoes and guided by whalebone sticks, focused on a gravel pit. On 14 January he told the Nottingham Post, \"Never was I more confident of success. I am so confident that if I was younger I would dig myself.\"\n\nThe pit was cleared. Nothing was found.\n\nSeveral mediums featured in the case. The Daily Mirror tested three - gaining access to both the Tinsley family and Nodder's house - but was given vague or conflicting answers.\n\nEstelle Roberts, one of the most famous psychics of the 1930s, later claimed to have been chauffeured to the the crime scene by police and told them Mona was in the river.\n\nWhatever she revealed to officers at the time, it was not enough to find the little girl.\n\nThe case made national headlines. The Daily Express offered a £250 reward to find Mona, a different editor was threatened with jail for contempt for publishing a photo of Nodder.\n\nPress and public queued to get into hearings. It was reported some were \"laughing and joking as they pushed and struggled to their places\" and were told off by court officials.\n\nNodder stood trial in Birmingham just two months later.\n\nEfforts to solve the mystery even featured in upmarket picture magazine The Sphere\n\nHis defence argued hard Mona might still be found alive and well and no-one should speculate on her fate. Nodder did not give evidence.\n\nThe jury took 16 minutes to convict him. He was jailed for seven years.\n\nClearly frustrated by what he felt was a killer getting away lightly, Judge Mr Justice Rigby Swift said: \"You have been, most properly in my opinion, convicted by the jury of a dreadful crime.\n\n\"What you did with that little girl, what became of her, only you know. It may be that time will reveal the dreadful secret which you carry in your breast.\"\n\nThe searches had been exhaustive. Hundreds of volunteers had combed the countryside, leaflets had been handed out, an appeal broadcast on radio. The canal had been drained for five miles, the river dredged.\n\nAs it stood, Nodder just had to bide his time.\n\nNodder was described as unkempt but seemed to have been trusted by the Tinsley children\n\nBut his luck ran out on 6 June. A family boating on the River Idle, a few miles downstream of Hayton, spotted a suspicious object under the water.\n\nWhen police arrived they found it was a body snagged in a drain.\n\nIt was taken to a nearby pub where Wilfred Tinsley identified his daughter by her clothes.\n\nInjuries to her neck showed Mona had been strangled with a cord. Nodder was charged with murder.\n\nNodder was hanged at Lincoln Prison still maintaining his innocence\n\nThe law moved with vengeful speed. In November, the second time in a year, he stood trial. This time he gave evidence - still insisting he had put Mona on a bus for Sheffield.\n\nA two-day trial saw his defence, which claimed nothing directly proved he had killed Mona and no motive was established, briskly dismissed.\n\nSentencing Nodder to death, Mr Justice Mcnaughton remarked: \"Justice has slowly but surely overtaken you\".\n\nOn 30 December 1937, Frederick Nodder was hanged in Lincoln Prison.\n\nAfter the noose had done its work and the Tinsleys were left to grieve, the echo of the murder carried on. Its twists and revelations helped usher in a new way of seeking justice for the dead.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "People have been making fun of Bernie Sanders after he used a poster-sized tweet by Donald Trump during a debate.\n\nThe Democrat politician was attempting to make a serious point.\n\nHe wanted to show the difference between what the president-elect had said about healthcare in the past and what he's now saying.\n\nBut the internet was ready.

LG unveiled its \"wallpaper TV' at the CES tech show in Las Vegas\n\nSouth Korean tech giants LG and Samsung have launched TVs that aim to better blend in to consumers' living rooms.\n\nLG 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.\n\nSamsung also unveiled a flagship set boasting greater brightness levels than before.\n\nOthers, including Sony, also revealed new models.\n\nSamsung'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.\n\nSamsung 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.\n\nSamsung's quantum dots are tiny particles that emit light of different colours\n\nThe 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.\n\n\"It's insanely bright,\" said Jack Wetherill, a tech analyst at Futuresource.\n\n\"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.\"\n\nThis sets it apart from other set makers who use another premium TV screen technology, OLED (organic light-emitting diode).\n\nSuch screens use a carbon-based film allowing the panel to emit its own light, rather than being backlit - this enables the ultra thin designs.\n\nQuantum dot TVs might not be able to display the deepest blacks possible with OLED, but they are generally brighter.\n\nLG's newest TV sticks out just 3.85mm from a wall when mounted against it\n\nLG'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.\n\nBut 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\".\n\nLG 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.\n\nMany 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.\n\n\"It is more vibrant, the colours are more distinctive,\" said Mr Wetherill.\n\n\"It does bring a much more impressive and immersive experience - no question about that.\"\n\nIt 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.\n\nThe Samsung Lifestyle TV could be mistaken for a painting\n\nSamsung 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\".\n\nIt comes in a wooden frame, in an attempt to look like a painting.\n\nSony also announced a new 4K OLED TV - its first - the latest in its Bravia range.\n\nAs 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.\n\nInstead, it emits sound via vibrations produced on the surface of the screen itself.\n\nThe new Bravia TV doesn't have speakers - the screen vibrates instead, which emits sounds\n\nThis wasn't demonstrated at the press conference, noted Mr Wetherill, but it was, he said, \"an interesting concept\".\n\nPanasonic 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.\n\nAt last year's consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin, the company had said it would release details of the TV during the winter.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Jill Saward, who became a sexual assault campaigner after she was raped during a burglary at her father's vicarage in 1986, has died after suffering a stroke.\n\nJune Kelly looks back at her life and legacy.", "When a fire at an underground music event in California killed 36, families whose adult children had been missing for months or years were among those who feared the worst. Daleen Berry explains why she went looking for her daughter at the Ghost Ship.\n\nI had moved across the country to find my daughter, Trista, but the deadly warehouse fire in Oakland in December forced me to take the first step, the one I had been dreading.\n\nAfter hearing that people actually lived in the warehouse of artists' studios and performance spaces known as the Ghost Ship, I needed to see for myself, to ensure Trista - the name I'll call her to protect her privacy - was not among the dead.\n\nAt the scene many had gathered to grieve and pay their respects. There were also people like me, who had lost touch with their loved ones for weeks, months, or even years, and were fearful they were inside when the fire started.\n\nI took the advice of an officer and drove to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, where they had set up a makeshift family assistance centre to provide emotional support and privacy for the family members. We waited for updates from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and found comfort in a safe place, together.\n\nOn one wall inside the centre were three lists: the confirmed dead, those who had been located and were safe, and those still reported as missing. On that last list were about 150 names.\n\nI knew then I was far from alone. Somehow, it made it easier to speak the words I'd refused to let myself believe: \"My daughter is missing.\"\n\nUnlike TV, where missing people are portrayed as victims of sexual trafficking or serial murderers, most adults disappear for far less sinister reasons. As of late December, the California justice department had 20,470 reports of missing persons in the state.\n\nOf those, 7,854 are like my daughter, classified as \"voluntary missing adults\".\n\nMore than 8,000 are runaways.\n\nAnother 1,060 people were taken by a family member, while 764 disappeared under suspicious circumstances and 114 went missing during a catastrophe.\n\nAt just 51, stranger abduction cases number the lowest.\n\nThe 48 hours in the family assistance centre were among the most painful in my life, as I struggled to answer one question after another.\n\nWhen did you last hear from your daughter?\n\nDo you have a preferred funeral home?\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Oakland residents held a vigil for victims of the fire\n\nA few months earlier I had packed up everything I owned, leaving behind family and friends to follow Trista's path west. I didn't tell them the real reason I was leaving - I wouldn't rest until I knew where Trista was.\n\nA kind and caring free spirit, Trista had gravitated to places like the Ghost Ship in the past. I knew that she might have lived there because this was her community: musicians, artists and other creative people.\n\nWhen I went to work for a small start-up in Oakland in 2009, she lived with me, then later followed me back to West Virginia.\n\nFrom there she travelled to Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, meeting up with fellow musicians. She was content to live in her own world, collecting items cast to the kerb and transforming them into beautiful works of art.\n\nBut by 2014, while I was put the finishing touches on a true crime book about a missing daughter, Trista was becoming increasingly distant and withdrawn.\n\nBy then, my daughter's temporary forays into seclusion had become legendary.\n\nI had been trying to understand them for 10 years because, at times weeks or even months would pass without so much as a word.\n\nBut I always knew she would reach out to someone - my sister, her brother, my mother.\n\nTrista terminated all but two ties in February 2015, when she returned to the Bay Area.\n\nBy June 2016, the last time I heard from her, she severed the rest.\n\nI called her brother in San Francisco: he hadn't heard from her in a year.\n\nShe changed her cell phone number. All of my emails to her bounced back.\n\n\"The email account that you tried to reach does not exist,\" Google repeatedly told me.\n\nThis wasn't my first trip to Oakland to look for Trista. I drove there one month before the fire. I needed to check out our old neighbourhood in case my daughter had returned. She hadn't.\n\nSome of the victims of the fire were LGBT or made outcasts in other ways; people who believed their families had given up on them - or vice versa.\n\nBut families like mine with missing children don't give up. We may stumble around, accidentally making matters worse.\n\nBut it is never intentional. I met a few other parents whose children died in the fire.\n\nThey didn't leave until the last handful of charred ashes was carried from the scene - when they knew for sure their child was truly, finally gone.\n\nA day after the fire, I finally forced myself to open the laptop Trista left behind in West Virginia a year earlier.\n\nI spent hours reaching out to her friends, fellow musicians, and a previous employer.\n\nThey hadn't heard from her in years. No one knew anything.\n\nIt was like Trista had closed the door on her old life, never to reopen it again.\n\nBut I couldn't just wait for a phone call telling me if my daughter was dead or alive. I had to know myself, so I drove to Oakland from Sacramento.\n\nAnd waited, for as long as it took.\n\nAfter spending two days at the family services centre, I stumbled into my hotel room, still struggling with the enormity of it all. What will I do if they find her? What if they don't?\n\nThe following morning, one of the mental health professionals on hand to help the families guided me down a corridor and into an office.\n\nThere, two women greeted me from the state justice department's missing persons unit.\n\n\"We've located 1,000 people since 2001,\" they said.\n\n\"Even a few live Jane Does,\" they added hopefully.\n\nThey asked more questions. I signed more paperwork. Then, after careful instructions, a gloved hand gave me what looked like a pink and white emery board.\n\nI opened my mouth, did as they directed, and handed over my saliva - my DNA - and the only link to my daughter.\n\nI just wanted to find Trista. Beg for her forgiveness. Tell her I was sorry - for me, for my mistakes, and for not understanding her well enough. For my family, who did likewise, and in whose heart she still holds a sacred place.\n\nGiven that all 36 victims of the Ghost Ship fire have been identified, I have to believe Trista is still alive. Still out there, somewhere.\n\nLike the 150 or so other worried mothers of those on the missing list, I have but one thought: I love you.\n\nOr - at the very least - phone home.\n\nDaleen Berry is a New York Times bestselling writer and author of several books, including Shatter the Silence and Pretty Little Killers.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It suggests once people are safe, they should start treating casualties.\n\nCh Insp Richard Harding, head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, told the BBC: \"One of the challenges we have is that when a serious incident, particularly a terrorist incident occurs, the first responders from a police perspective to a terrorist incident will inevitably be trying to deal with the people causing the threat.\n\n\"They won't have time to deal with the people who are injured and that gap is vital to saving people's lives.\n\n\"So we are really interested in the concept of CitizenAID. It allows the public and people involved in very rare incidents like this to help themselves and help others and their loved ones survive the situation.\"\n\nAccording to its founders, CitizenAID builds on lessons learnt on the battlefield.\n\nSir Keith Porter, professor of clinical traumatology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, told the BBC: \"I have treated hundreds of soldiers whose lives have been saved by simply the applications of tourniquets when they have been shot or blown up. Teaching individual soldiers these skills has saved lives.\n\n\"And I think it is essential we train the public in those skills and that is exactly what CitizenAID does.\"\n\nBrig Tim Hodgetts, medical director of the Defence Medical Services, told the BBC; \"We don't know when the next incident will be that will involve blasts or gunshots so we need a critical mass of the general public to learn these first aid skills.\n\n\"They are the people who are always going to be at the scene. They are the ones who are going to make a difference.\"\n\nHe added: \"I think we are doing the opposite of scaring the public, we are empowering the public.\n\n''By giving them a step-by-step system we take away the anxiety because the decisions are already made and the right decisions in the right order can save lives.\"\n\nThe app is free to download and the pocketbook costs £1.99 to order.\n\nSue Killen, of St John Ambulance, added \"First aid can be the difference between life and death. Knowing basic first aid in a terror attack or in an everyday emergency at home or in the community, will give you more confidence to deal with a crisis.\n\n\"First aid is easy to learn and our first aid techniques cover a wide range of injuries that could occur in a terrorist incident including severe bleeding, crush injuries and shock.\n\n\"We encourage anyone who would like to learn first aid to go to our website to view our first aid videos, download our app or attend a first aid course.\"\n\nWhat do you think?

This is a great way of bringing staff together socially, whilst improving their physical and mental health. This leads to a happier, more productive and collaborative workforce.\n\nThe best advice I have for someone running a business is listen to the winds of change.\n\nEvery industry is being transformed directly or indirectly by technology, and the rate of change will increase in the next few years.\n\nSo think not about what your business is doing now, but how it can be positioned in order to be a part of that technological transformation.\n\nThen, as always - work hard, learn from mistakes and keep evolving.\n\nStay curious and hunt for inspiration in unexpected places. We always try to look beyond the shop shelf, and I'd encourage all businesses to do the same.\n\nDefine your purpose. Major global events of 2016 mean that having clear direction, beyond your annual targets, is more important than ever before.\n\nIn the digital age of everything, keep it simple. Without bottomless pockets, you need to prioritise and have the discipline to focus on the real strengths of your team.\n\nBut also remember to keep things light and have fun. We make popcorn, we're not saving lives, but it's easy to lose sight of that sometimes.\n\nDon't forget to spend time and effort making sure people know what you have to offer. I see so many people who have great shows, great products and great ideas but decide to cut the marketing budget, or just think that it will work because it's clever.\n\nI always say you could invent a kettle that boiled in a second, but if people don't know about it then it doesn't matter. Get people excited.\n\nThink of interesting and amazing ways to get people involved and get your message out there. Create a community and harness the power of social media.\n\nBe brave and try new things. Become an expert in your field. Above all, have fun and people will soon be shouting it from the rooftops.\n\nThese are uncertain, challenging times, so businesses need to be brave and not be paralysed by fear of the unknown. At Unruly, for example, we haven't let Brexit brouhaha put the brakes on our growth - on the contrary, our foot is flat on the pedal, and we've accelerated international expansion into India.\n\nIt's also important that you nurture the wellbeing of the team. Make sure your team understands the value they bring to your organisation, and mentor them so they are prepared for the challenges ahead.\n\nOver the long term, the only strategy for an uncertain future is to keep and feed an open mind.\n\nKeep listening, keep learning, keep reading, keep evolving, keep experimenting, keep questioning, keep agile. Only then can you can keep on being at the cutting edge of trends that are reshaping the world we live in.\n\nI'm an optimist at heart and believe that if we build purposeful businesses with collaborative cultures, then rather than worrying about the future, we can help to shape it.\n\nI have four \"Ps\" as my guide. Firstly, passion - you must be totally passionate about what you do, because customers and employees will only be as passionate about your product or service as you are.\n\nSecondly - people. It is important that you employ great people. This will allow you to build a sustainable business with amazing customer loyalty and retention.\n\nThirdly - product. Make sure that you give a quality product that will allow you to build a business that customers and potential staff will want to be aligned to.\n\nFinally - profit. It is vital that you understand your numbers and know what is gross and net profit, and work hard to protect your margins.\n\nBusiness is like life - you get out of it what you put in. For me it is all about hard work, persevering and not giving up.\n\nSuccess in business is about finding the right balance between pushing yourself to your limits, and knowing when to take time out to re-energise, regroup, and to take a moment to plan your next big push.\n\nMany of us are great at the pushing bit, but forget about the importance of the other side, which can lead to burnout or perhaps a growing underlying resentment of the dream you're following.\n\nIn order to allow you the time to do this, it's essential that you build a strong team around you, who all share the same values.\n\nEmpower them, give them space to grow, and reward them in the way that pushes them forwards individually - what motivates your team will vary drastically between individuals.\n\nEvery business needs to expect even more work and new challenges in 2017.\n\nHere in Brazil there is an economic crisis that can't be ignored, but it is important for any company to spend more energy finding new ways to make things work out rather than cursing the current situation.\n\nWe're not letting geography determine who we hire - we want to find the perfect person for the role. They could be based in London, the Czech Republic, the US or Canada. All that matters is that they elevate the team and help us achieve our goals.\n\nI think this approach will slowly become the norm, and we'll see more big businesses adopt this way of doing things.\n\nTechnology is making the world a lot smaller, and communication has never been easier, which means you can always be in touch no matter where you are in the world.\n\nObviously there are processes you need to put in place to make sure everyone's doing the job that's being asked of them and to maintain a strong company culture, but once this has been ironed out the benefits are undeniable.\n\nBuild a team you can rely on. Over the last couple of years I've built up a strong senior management team who I am heavily reliant on for the day-to-day running of the business.\n\nThis has helped to give me space to breathe and focus on taking my business to new heights.\n\nAlso, take time off occasionally. I think it's extremely important to completely switch off from work every now and again.\n\nI spent Christmas in Sri Lanka, turned off my emails and focused on me. It means that I come back to work in January - one of the busiest months in our industry - refreshed, focused and ready to tackle the year ahead.\n\nBe clear about what you want to achieve in 2017. I have set myself half a dozen key things I want to realise this year.\n\nIf you get to the end of the year without achieving any or all of them, the things you identified at the start of the year were either not important, or you failed to deliver them.\n\nIf they weren't important after all, you called it wrong at the start of the year, which can be just as bad for your business as failing to achieve them.\n\nAlways be alive to what is going on with your competition, and with the market uncertainty we'll experience over the next couple of years this will be even more critical.\n\nToo many people are too insular within their business, and they don't see who's in front and, even more importantly, they don't see who's coming up from behind.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nLeicester City have signed defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi for a reported £15m from Belgian side Genk.\n\nThe 20-year-old Nigeria international completed his move on Thursday after a work permit was approved, signing a five-and-a-half-year deal.\n\nNdidi has already trained with the squad and could make his debut in Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Everton (15:00 GMT).\n\n\"He's an impressive player with a big future,\" said manager Claudio Ranieri.\n\n\"I feel I can learn a lot here,\" Ndidi told the club's TV channel .\n\n\"I try to win the balls for the team - that is one of my main attributes.

with televised games between Liverpool and Stoke and Southampton and Tottenham following on 27 and 28 December respectively.\n\nThat greater spread of games resulted in widespread debate amongst Premier League managers over discrepancies in the amount of rest between games for each club.\n\nHours taken to play all three festive matches 26 Dec-4 Jan Hours from start of first game, to end of third\n\nWhat have the managers said?\n\nArsenal manager Wenger was especially critical of this year's festive fixture list, calling it the \"most uneven Christmas period\" he has seen in 20 years.\n\nHe added: \"The difference of rest periods is absolutely unbelievable, compared to the other teams it is unbelievable.\"\n\nWenger was far from alone, with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho claiming, \"it looks like the fixtures are chosen to give rest for some and to create problems to others\".\n\nAll the way back in October, an incredulous Jurgen Klopp looked at Liverpool's festive fixture list and simply asked: \"How do you prepare a team for this?\"\n\nNot all title-chasing managers were fazed by the fixture list though, with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte saying his rivals were \"angry for our position [as leaders] not for the fixtures\".\n\nThe stakes are just as high at the bottom of the table with Sam Allardyce claiming the fixture scheduling contributed to his \"shattered\" Crystal Palace side losing to relegation rivals Swansea on Tuesday.\n\nEven Swansea first-team coach Alan Curtis acknowledged the discrepancy, adding: \"We had 24 hours more rest compared to them and that may have made a difference.\"\n\nReferring to the lucrative television rights deal signed by the Premier League, Wenger said: \"I don't know any more whether the Premier League is the master of the fixtures.\"\n\nWhile TV broadcast selections alter the specific dates of games, the initial fixture list is compiled by international IT services company Atos, on behalf of the Premier League.\n\nThe first step is inputting international dates from world governing body Fifa, then dates of the European club competitions from Uefa, before the Football Association adds in their competitions, leaving the dates on which league and League Cup matches can be played.\n\nThis process is complicated for the 2017-18 season due to an agreement with the FA to finish seasons early in tournament years - in this instance to give the England manager a month with his squad to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.\n\nWhere possible, the Premier League and FA will also try to establish a stand-alone date for the FA Cup final.\n\nThere are then numerous other factors including the distribution of home and away games and travel issues to consider, as well as further discussion and checks before the fixture list is released in mid-June.\n\nThe live TV broadcast selections for December 2017 will not be confirmed until four to six weeks before the start of the month, so managers will have to wait to see how they fare in terms of rest between games.\n\nBut two extra fixtures to fit in are unlikely to be a welcome Christmas gift for most.", "The cinema kept its ABC name to distinguish it from another Odeon cinema on the same road.\n\nThe final film has been shown in the last remaining high street cinema with the ABC brand.\n\nThe Odeon-owned cinema on Westover Road in Bournemouth has been sold and is due to be redeveloped into flats.\n\nABC -

Jill Saward, who was gang raped in 1986, says her attackers got the same sentence as for aggravated burglary\n\nThe Sun newspaper printed the location of the attack and a photograph of Ms Saward with her eyes blacked out in the days following the rape.\n\nWhen investigated, the publication relied on the defence that media identification of a victim was only banned after a defendant was charged, which was the case at the time.\n\nSpeaking in 1987 Ms Saward, who was an identical twin, demanded a change in the law to prevent this from happening.\n\nAccording to the Guardian, she said: \"Unless this is done, others may find themselves identifiable by a process of deduction from third parties known to be involved as victims of a crime as I was.\n\n\"This was very distressing both to myself and my family, and the manner in which some newspapers conveyed this information was highly insensitive and offensive.\"\n\nThe law was changed a year later to allow for the right to appeal against lenient sentences and to close a loophole which allowed media identification of a rape victim before a defendant was charged.\n\nThe Press Council also published guidelines on how rape cases were reported to prevent victims' anonymity being breached through jigsaw identification.\n\nThe notorious case put the laws on rape under the spotlight and led to calls by women's groups and politicians to call for changes to the way the crimes were viewed.\n\nThese included making rape within marriage a criminal offence, making oral and anal intercourse classified as rape and tougher sentencing for rapists - all of which have been achieved.\n\nIn 1990, Ms Saward broke new ground when she became the first rape victim in the UK to waive her right to anonymity.\n\nShe co-wrote a book, Rape: My Story, which explored her ordeal and she went on to become a fierce campaigner for the rights of sexual assault victims.\n\nHer decision to speak publicly was driven by a desire to change attitudes towards victims and strengthen the support they receive.\n\nMs Saward launched a help group for those who had experienced sex crimes and regularly appeared in the media to highlight issues faced by victims.\n\nHer commitment to the cause also saw her become a sexual assault case worker and she subsequently provided training to police forces across the country.\n\nOver the years, further changes have been made to the way sexual assault cases are handled - taking into account the way victims were treated.\n\nThese include a ban on allowing an alleged rapist to cross-examine victims while representing themselves in court and restrictions on what evidence can be heard about a victim's sexual behaviour.\n\nNew guidelines were published on the sentencing of sex offenders in England and Wales in 2013 which gave a greater emphasis on the impact on the victim - something Ms Saward had long campaigned for.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC, she said: \"So long we've felt left out of the system or surplus to requirement, so to actually see victims' needs and what's happened to victims being put at the forefront of this is really, really good.\"\n\nMs Saward never gave up on her fight for victims' rights, and in 2015 she spoke out against calls to give those accused of sex crimes anonymity.\n\nIn 1998, she came face-to-face with a member of the gang who devastated her life, but did not rape her, and told him: \"You don't need to say sorry.\"\n\nBut she also spoke about forgiveness and said in a BBC interview: \"I believe forgiveness gives you freedom.

All you usually need is their mobile phone number or email address.\n\nEven if they haven't yet downloaded the app they receive a message telling them money is waiting for them once they've registered.\n\nWhether you're splitting a dinner bill between friends, contributing to shared household costs, or simply sending a gift, payment apps offer convenience within an encrypted, secure environment.\n\nAnd the fact that these payment apps can sit within messaging apps means you can settle bills without even interrupting your group chat.\n\nCircle Pay's Jeremy Allaire thinks social messaging and payments are the future\n\nThe Chinese social media platforms operated by the tech giants Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu have spearheaded the social payments explosion in Asia.\n\nWhile in the US, PayPal-owned Venmo has been growing at a phenomenal pace and looks set to reach about $20bn in annual transaction volume this year. In Africa, M-pesa has blazed a trail and is also now available in India.\n\nFacebook Messenger, which now claims to have more than one billion users globally, has been offering in-app payments since 2015 in the US, but is now poised to expand the service throughout Europe after acquiring the relevant \"e-money\" banking licenses.\n\n\"There's an opportunity to create the WhatsApp of payments and to make this work globally,\" says Mr Allaire, whose payment service is also available within the Apple iMessage app.\n\nHe envisages a world in which there are no barriers to sending money anywhere.\n\nYoung people in particular are happy to use their phones as digital wallets\n\n\"I can send and receive content instantly for free, by text, email and video - so why can't I do the same with money? It's just data and software,\" he says.\n\nCircle's service is built on crypto currency Bitcoin's blockchain system, which enables transactions to be verified and completed quickly and securely, even across borders.\n\nAnd it is this crossborder facility that offers great potential, Mr Allaire believes, largely because banks tend to charge far more than P2P platforms.\n\n\"I can beam money to my kids wherever they happen to be in the world at a cost of 0.3%, whereas banks will typically charge 3%,\" he says.\n\nBut smartphones have been around for nearly a decade, so what has changed to explain this sudden surge in the popularity of social payments?\n\n\"The regulatory environment improved,\" says James Morton, head of UK and Netherlands for Mangopay, a P2P payments platform powering several other apps, such as Pumpkin.\n\nAre we entering the era of low-cost borderless money transfers?\n\n\"To hold client money you have to be regulated, which was a big hurdle to overcome. And the payments infrastructure was quite archaic, working only from bank to bank with a complex structure of issuers, acquirers and processors - it was a very manual process.\"\n\nAllowing firms to become \"e-money issuers\" opened the door to tech companies to automate a lot of these background processes, including the authentication, data protection and money laundering requirements imposed by regulators.\n\nAn international bank-to-bank money transfer can still take days to clear - despite efforts to introduce faster payments - whereas P2P payments can be completed in seconds.\n\nAnd now that younger generations trust the security of their apps and phones - verifying transactions by fingerprint or even facial recognition - P2P service providers are interposing themselves between banks and acting as money repositories themselves.\n\nFor example, Venmo enables its 12 million users to load their Venmo accounts with money and use this fund to pay other people and make in-app purchases.\n\nA Chinese student returning home for the Spring Festival pays her fare using the Alipay app\n\nChinese networks Alipay and WeChat allow users to pay utility bills from their accounts.\n\nThey can also transfer money back to their main bank account within a business day. It's the kind of service PayPal already offers for its customers through its PayPal.me service.\n\n\"If you look at how the gig and sharing economy is growing, I think payments infrastructure will remove the necessity for having your bank debit account for anything other than paying bills,\" says Mr Morton.\n\nNew P2P payment providers have sprung up all over the place: Square Cash, FaceCash Payfriendz, TransferWise, the relaunched Google Wallet, People Pay, Popmoney, Snapcash, Dwolla - the list goes on.\n\nNot that the big banks are twiddling their thumbs while tech upstarts steal their business.\n\nIn the US, a company called Early Warning, which is owned by big names such as Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, has set up a P2P payments business called ClearXchange with access to more than 100 million customers.\n\nAll you need to send money to someone else's bank account for free is their email address or mobile phone number, much like the UK's PayM system.\n\nCard issuers Visa and Mastercard have joined up with ClearXchange to allow people to make P2P payments via their MasterCard Send and Visa Direct platforms.\n\nThese are exciting times in the world of P2P payments - more competition, more convenience, lower costs.\n\nBut in the Chinese Year of the Rooster, it remains to be seen whether a digital red envelope will bring as much luck and good fortune as the traditional paper one.", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "Coverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live and live text on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online at 13:15.\n\nSerena Williams says facing elder sister Venus in Saturday's Australian Open final will be a great occasion.\n\nSerena, 35, is bidding for an Open-era record 23rd Grand Slam, while Venus, 36, is targeting her eighth major, and first since Wimbledon in 2008.\n\n\"This probably is the moment of our careers so far,\" said Serena, who has beaten Venus in six of their eight Grand Slam finals.\n\n\"I never lost hope of us being able to play each other in a final.\"\n\nSaturday will be their first Grand Slam final against each other since Wimbledon 2009, when Serena won in straight sets, and their 28th meeting in total.\n\n\"Nothing can break our family,\" added Serena. \"If anything, this will definitely bring us closer together, knowing that I want to see her do the best that she can possibly do.\n\n\"I know that she definitely wants to see me do the best that I can do.

The aftermath of the 1990 Strangeways Prison riot\n\nThe worst disorder in the history of the prison service came in 1990 when two people died and hundreds were injured during rioting at Strangeways, in Manchester. It evolved into a 25-day protest against the squalid conditions and was followed by disturbances at eight other prisons.\n\nThe report into Strangeways was meant to be a watershed. It did lead to some improvements, including the beginning of the end of the practice of slopping out, where prisoners used chamber pots in their cells, but it did not herald an end to prison overcrowding.\n\nThe principal reason is numbers. England and Wales went from almost 45,000 prisoners in 1991 to 85,000 two decades later - an increase of nearly 90%.\n\nJustice and policing are devolved matters for Scotland and Northern Ireland. There has been nothing like the same rise in the jail population in Scotland, where the latest figure, around 7,200, is the lowest it has been for a decade. In Northern Ireland, there are some 1,500 people in custody, about 300 fewer than in the mid-1990s.\n\nSo why did numbers rise so steeply in England and Wales? Some lobby groups and criminologists point to a \"moral panic\" following the murder in 1993 of the toddler James Bulger.\n\nExperts describe a sentencing \"arms race\" between political parties vying to be the strongest on law and order. Former Conservative leader Michael Howard's \"prison works\" versus former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair's \"tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nWhatever the reasons, average sentence lengths have crept up, more offenders have been jailed for life or indeterminate terms and growing numbers of released prisoners have had to return to custody for breaching their licence conditions.\n\nNew jails have been built, but have not kept up with demand. The Prison Reform Trust (PRT) calculates that an average of 20,000 prisoners, almost a quarter of the total, are held in overcrowded conditions. Many share cells designed for one.\n\nAt times, when Labour was in power, there was so little spare capacity that cells at police stations and in court buildings were used to hold inmates. To ease the pressure, a scheme was introduced to let prisoners out up to 18 days before their standard release date, halfway through their sentence. Eighty-thousand inmates were freed under the scheme - in addition to those released early under an existing programme which required them to wear electronic tags.\n\nOvercrowding has a corrosive effect. It is, in the words of Strangeways report author Lord Woolf, \"a cancer eating at the ability of the prison service\" to deliver effective education, tackle offending behaviour and prepare prisoners for life on the outside.\n\nWhen the Coalition Government came to power in 2010 it began to look for savings, as part of its effort to reduce overall public spending. Five years later the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), which is responsible for prisons in England and Wales, had reduced its budget by nearly a quarter.\n\nWandsworth Prison is one of the country's most overcrowded\n\nOld jails that were expensive to operate were shut - 18 have closed since 2011.\n\nBut the other tactic in the efficiency drive has been a programme of \"benchmarking\".\n\nPublicly run jails are required to peg their costs to the same level as the most efficient prisons, including those in the private sector.\n\nFourteen jails in England and Wales, and two out of 15 prisons in Scotland, are operated by private firms - G4S, Serco and Sodexo. And benchmarking has certainly led to savings. The Ministry of Justice estimates that the average annual cost of a prison place fell by 20% between 2009-10 and 2015-16 to about £35,000.\n\nBenchmarking has involved major changes to the regime in prisons and cuts to staffing. A standardised \"core day\" has been introduced in some jails, with the aim of making the most of prisoners' time out of their cells and giving them certainty about what activities they are doing.\n\nBut the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Peter Clarke, said jails which had brought in the new core days had not increased the amount of prisoners' time spent unlocked. Under half of jails were assessed as delivering \"good\" or \"reasonably good\" purposeful activities compared with more than two-thirds in 2009-10.\n\nWith the benchmarking programme and other cost-cutting, there was a dramatic reduction in staff numbers. Posts were cut in the Northern Ireland Prison Service as well, but in Scotland staff numbers have risen.\n\nThe overall number of staff employed across the public sector prison estate in England and Wales has fallen from 45,000 in 2010 to just under 31,000 in September 2016. Although a small part of the reduction has been because of employees switching to jails transferred to the private sector, the decline is substantial by any measure, with the number of prison officers working in key front-line roles down by more than 6,000.\n\nThe jobs market in areas such as London and south-east England has been so competitive that prisons have found it hard to attract and retain replacements on a £20,500 starting salary. Many experienced prison officers have taken voluntary redundancy - with their know-how and jail-craft sorely missed. About 200 staff each month are brought in from other jails to work at prisons where vacancies cannot be filled.\n\nLast November, members of the Prison Officers Association took part in a 24-hour walkout in protest at what they said were the \"chronic staff shortages and impoverished regimes\" in jails which they claimed had resulted in staff no longer being safe.\n\nAs thousands of prison staff departed, a seemingly intractable drugs problem began to arrive in jails - \"legal highs\", also known as new psychoactive substances (NPS). Sold under names such as Spice and Black Mamba, by 2013 the synthetic cannabis compounds had become a major problem. In contrast, Scottish prisons have had no record of any seizures of the drug.\n\nSynthetic drugs are becoming an increasing problem in England's prisons\n\nThe health dangers, bizarre behaviour and violence associated with NPS led to them being banned in the UK last year. In prisons, they have proved to be an unpredictable, and occasionally lethal, alternative to cannabis. Between June 2013 and April 2016, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman identified 64 deaths in jail where the prisoner was known or strongly suspected to have used or possessed NPS before they died.\n\nDespite the dangers, these synthetic drugs are popular because they are hard to detect using conventional drug testing methods and they provide a diversion to the boredom and frustration of prison life. The drugs are a source of income for criminal gangs whose illicit use of phones and drones, combined with the help of a number of corrupt staff, has helped the trade thrive behind bars.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Watch a drone deliver drugs and mobile phones to London prisoners in April 2016\n\nThe destabilising impact of synthetic drugs, together with the loss of so many staff in such a short space of time, against a backdrop of overcrowding, has proved to be a dangerous cocktail for our prisons.\n\nThe government's policy document, entitled Prison Safety and Reform, published in November, acknowledges the scale of the challenge. An extra 2,500 prison officers are being recruited, there will be financial incentives for staff to stay in their jobs, while sniffer dogs and new methods of drug testing are being deployed.\n\nLabour said the announcement was \"too little, too late\", saying earlier staff cuts had created a \"crisis in safety\".\n\nAnd there are calls for far more radical measures.\n\nNick Clegg, deputy prime minister in the Coalition, together with the former Home Secretaries Jacqui Smith and Ken Clarke, said prisoner numbers must be steadily cut back to the levels of the early 90s, a reduction of some 40,000 inmates. \"We believe that an escalating prison population has gone well beyond what is safe or sustainable,\" they wrote in a letter to the Times.\n\nThere are no signs, however, that Liz Truss, the justice secretary, has any intention of arbitrarily cutting the jail population. Sentencing changes and early release schemes are simply not on her agenda.\n\nJustice Secretary Liz Truss wants to cut prisoner numbers by reducing reoffending\n\nMichael Spurr, the chief executive of NOMS, has even gone as far as to say that he cannot see an end to prison overcrowding until at least after the next parliament - 2025, at the earliest.\n\nInstead, Ms Truss believes that any drop in prisoner numbers should come through a reduction in reoffending - fewer people going through the revolving door of the criminal justice system.\n\nShe is hoping that extra staff and security improvements will steady the ship while longer-term changes to the management of prisons take effect. Governors will have greater autonomy, there will be closer monitoring of prison performance and education and investment in modern facilities.\n\nHMP Berwyn in north Wales will be the UK's biggest prison\n\nA new jail, HMP Berwyn, opens in north Wales next month. It has cost £250m to build and will house more than 2,000 male prisoners - making it the biggest prison in the UK.\n\nThe extra places will help relieve some of the pressure on a system that still relies heavily on jails constructed in the Victorian era. But more important, Berwyn sends a clear message that in spite of all the recent trouble, tensions and turmoil within prison walls, the government remains committed to the concept of imprisonment itself.\n\nUPDATE: The graphs in this piece were updated on 2 August to reflect new figures published\n• None How dangerous are our prisons?", "This post box in Bargate was one of two to be decorated with white paint\n\nSouthampton football fans have celebrated their team reaching the EFL Cup final by painting the city's post boxes in the club's famous stripes.\n\nTwo red post boxes have been given white stripes to match the Saints' colours since Wednesday's semi-final win over Liverpool at Anfield.\n\nThe makeovers have been met with support by local business owners and residents who called it a \"fun\" change.\n\nBut Royal Mail said it planned to remove the stripes as soon as possible.\n\nSouthampton beat Liverpool 2-0 across two legs to earn trip to Wembley for the cup final against Manchester United on 26 February.\n\nBut rather than painting the town red, some fans got out the white paint to celebrate and the post boxes in Queens Way and Bargate were adorned with the stripes.\n\nSouthampton wore their away kit in the win over Liverpool but usually play in red and white\n\nGraeme McLeish, owner of Oceans Gift Shop, said: \"It appeals to my sense of humour, I suppose technically it is vandalism but it's just a bit of fun and knowing how big Saints are becoming I think it's a celebration and patriotic.\"\n\nKerry Browne, a news agent shop assistant in Above Bar Street, added: \"I just think why not, it's not harming anyone and it's a bit of fun.

Theresa May: \"We must renew the special relationship for this new age\"\n\nTheresa May's Philadelphia speech is hugely significant - arguably the biggest by a British prime minister in the US since Tony Blair's in Chicago.\n\nEighteen years ago - in 1999 - Mr Blair first advocated active military interventionism to overturn dictators and protect civilians.\n\nNow, Mrs May has repudiated much of what he said then.\n\nShe talked of \"the failed policies of the past\", before making her crucial declaration of new foreign policy doctrine: \"The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over.\"\n\nOf course, by saying that she was also overturning the approach of her predecessor, David Cameron. The current prime minister has also dismissed her predecessor's armed intervention in Libya.\n\nIts aftermath - a failed state, far from recovery - haunts Britain still.\n\nThis declaration of an apparently radical shift in policy by the prime minister should be read in conjunction with what appears to be an extraordinary British U-turn over Syria, which was set out in colourful terms by her foreign secretary only a few hours earlier.\n\nBoris Johnson conceded the most bitter and recent failure of British foreign policy when he openly acknowledged what amounts to a fundamental defeat over Syria.\n\nHe called Britain's stance \"catastrophic\", shifting from the pledge of support over many years to the non-jihadist opponents of President Assad, to a position where Britain - together with the United States - retreated from the field and left it open to Russian military dominance.\n\nMr Johnson told a committee in the House of Lords that President Assad should now be permitted to run for election as part of a \"democratic resolution\" of the civil war - although he did also make clear there could be no sustainable peace in Syria as long as he remains.\n\nHe admitted the downsides of doing \"such a complete flip-flop\", but said the UK had been unable at any stage to fulfil its mantra that the Syrian president should go.\n\nBoris Johnson said the UK's stance on Syria had been \"catastrophic\"\n\nMr Johnson was accepting Russia's victory - and at the same time swallowing the bitter pill of defeat for London and for Washington.\n\nHe said that had flowed from the refusal of the House of Commons, in August 2013, to back punitive British military action against President Assad for his use of chemical weapons - something the Syrian leader still denies.\n\nWithin days, President Obama had followed Britain in retreat.\n\nPublic appetite in both countries for almost any military intervention overseas had drained away after the years of intervention in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and in Libya.\n\nIt is very difficult to see circumstances in which Britain or the US will send forces against a sovereign government in the future.\n\nExtremists - non-state actors - are almost the only acceptable target now.\n\nThe Foreign Office does not believe their political master was as explicit as I suggest, and believe that the essentials of British policy on Syria have not fundamentally changed.\n\nCertainly, the prime minister did leave herself some wriggle room.\n\nShe argued against the sort of increased isolationism which President Donald Trump has championed, and urged the maintenance of the \"special relationship\" as a way to provide joint leadership in the world.\n\nShe said the two nations should not \"stand idly by when the threat is real\".\n\nNevertheless, the political presentation of British foreign policy by the prime minister and foreign secretary has deployed a distinctly new and sometimes startling language.\n\nThe direction being set in response to past failures and disappointments is different.\n\nIt may be largely a public recognition of some brutal realities, which have been emerging over several years, but it is new and important.", "As she made her way across the Atlantic, Theresa May joked with the press pack on her flight that \"sometimes opposites attract\".\n\nA wisecracking way of trying to cover the question about how she and Donald Trump can work together - the reality TV star billionaire and the self-described hard working vicar's daughter.\n\nVoters will decide for themselves how funny they find it.\n\nBut Number 10 has already invested a lot in the early days of this relationship.\n\nPerhaps, that is in part due to the early embarrassment of former UKIP leader Nigel Farage's adventures in Manhattan. However, it is also certainly due to her conviction that whoever the US president is, a British leader needs to, and should, cultivate their friendship.\n\nDowning Street sources say they have had more contact with the Trump team since its victory than any other country has - and the conversations between the two leaders have focused on how to develop their personal relationship and the bond between the two countries.\n\nBut even before the two politicians meet tomorrow in the Oval Office, Mrs May is trying to put forward serious arguments about Britain and America's relationship as the world changes at warp speed around the two countries - making a major foreign policy speech at a gathering of the Republican Party in Philadelphia just hours after she touches down.\n\nIt is plain to see that while she is deadly serious about creating an extremely close relationship with the new president, she will continue to disagree with him on some issues.\n\nWhen repeatedly questioned about his view that torture works, the prime minister told us: \"We condemn torture, I have been very clear, I'm not going to change my position whether I'm talking to you or talking to the president.\"\n\nAnd crucially, she said guidance stating that UK security services cannot share intelligence if it is obtained through torture will not change, telling me: \"Our guidance is very clear about the position that the UK takes, and our position has not changed.\"\n\nDespite President Trump's very public doubts about Nato, she says he has already assured her on the phone that he is committed to the alliance.\n\nA public restatement of that in the next 24 hours would no doubt be a political boon for her.\n\nWhile the prime minister is plainly uncomfortable with some of Mr Trump's positions, she also wants to emphasise some of the areas where they do agree - the \"shared values\" of looking out for \"ordinary working class families\".\n\nIn her speech to senators and congressmen tonight she will also emphasise how, in her view, Conservative values are Republican values.\n\nThe Republicans - the Tories' sister political party - are now in charge at all levels on Capitol Hill, as well as inside the White House. For the GOP and Mrs May's Conservative Party, patriotism, flag and family are not values to shy away from.\n\nAnd despite the squeamishness, even in Tory ranks, about her eagerness to be seen alongside the president, the prime minister is unapologetic about her friendly stance.\n\nWhen asked about appearing to be too close to the controversial new president, she said: \"Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America.\n\n\"The UK and the US have shared challenges, shared interests, that we can work together to deal with. We have a special relationship, it's long standing, it's existed through many different prime ministers and presidents.\"\n\nA more different prime minister and president are hard to conceive. What they make of each other, and the relationship between our two countries, will affect us all.", "Lawand Hamadamin's family fled Iraq in 2015 because, they say, so-called Islamic State had threatened to kill disabled children.\n\nThey came to the UK after a year in a French refugee camp and he's now at a British school, learning sign language\n\nBut the family are facing deportation to Germany because they entered the UK illegally.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Sean Spicer: \"We can disagree with the facts\"\n\nSome journalists are scum, many are incorrigible egoists, and yet the vast majority, in my experience, are decent coves with a high-minded view of the trade they belong to.\n\nWhether they report on the courts, local football matches, or the latest film openings, part of the job is spreading knowledge and joy - or, as Lord Reith put it, to \"inform, educate and entertain.\"\n\nBut there is a deeper attraction to the trade.\n\nThis is the principle of holding power to account.\n\nObviously many journalists fall short of achieving this.\n\nSome become corrupted by power themselves.\n\nBut journalism at its best is the industrialisation of scrutiny.\n\nThe presence of mischievous, determined, nosy hacks stops people who have immense power - some of it unjustifiably, arbitrarily or illegally obtained - from getting away with misdeeds.\n\nYou might think that's pompous, but, frankly, I don't mind.\n\nNor, I'm sure, do the White House press corps who were assembled for the astonishing press conferences that Sean Spicer, new press secretary to President Trump, gave earlier this week.\n\nI'm not interested, for the purposes of this blog, in whether or not the assertions made by Mr Spicer were true or false.\n\nPresident Trump wants to take his message \"directly to the American people\"\n\nI am interested in these words he uttered, the consequences of which are immense for politics, media and public life: \"There's been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold Donald Trump accountable.\n\n\"And I'm here to tell you it goes two ways.\n\n\"We're going to hold the press accountable, as well.\n\n\"And as long as he serves as the messenger for this incredible movement, he will take his message directly to the American people, where his focus will always be\".\n\nPut aside the almost biblical imagery and the clear indication that, through talk radio and social media, President Trump will cut out journalists and go straight to voters.\n\nThose four words \"it goes two ways\" are doing a lot of work there.\n\nLast night, Steve Bannon, the former chief of Breitbart News, went even further than Spicer in an interview with The New York Times. He said: \"The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.\"\n\nAs one of the most powerful voices in Trump's ear, clearly Bannon's view that the media should be subject to ferocious scrutiny now holds considerable sway in the White House.\n\nI have decided to call this notion that it is the job of government to hold the press to account The Spicer Doctrine. Here are five thoughts about it:\n\nOne: Totalitarian states use propaganda to control public information, spread fear and rally support against external foes.\n\nDonald Trump has a powerful democratic mandate: he is no totalitarian.\n\nBut he seems immensely frustrated at his inability to control public information - so much so that he uses Twitter to circumvent the media, and sent out his spokesman to lambast and threaten journalists.\n\nPresident Trump and Mr Spicer will soon find out that, especially in the digital age, they have no hope of controlling public information.\n\nThere will always be stuff that annoy this administration and send them into a fury.\n\nSo expect more individual journalists to suffer the fate of the Time magazine journalist who got his facts wrong.\n\nTwo: There is a serious question of credibility and trust at stake here.\n\nAs promised, I won't pass judgement here on the veracity of the statements Mr Spicer is making.\n\nBut in just his first week as president, Mr Trump has obliterated the basic faith that many Americans had that what the White House says is true.\n\nYou might argue that this faith was decimated by the Iraq War.\n\nIt had, however, been rebuilt since.\n\nAnd the issue isn't whether anyone believes Mr Spicer when he says Mr Trump's inauguration was better attended than Barack Obama's.\n\nThe problem will arise when he says something more substantial about a terror threat or America's next war.\n\nWho will believe him then?\n\nDoes it matter if the press corps, who relay his message to millions of Americans, think he's not credible?\n\nThree: The traditional media is caterwauling about Mr Trump's fondness for exaggeration.\n\nDo his supporters care? Possibly not.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Where do Donald Trump supporters get their news from?\n\nThe fact is, with Fox News and various internet outlets supporting his cause, Mr Trump believes that the nationalist media who so helped him to win the presidency are also on board now.\n\nInterestingly, as a president he seems to have made little effort to unify the country: instead, he seems intent on energising his base.\n\nAnd that base cares less and less for the - as they see it - pompous bloviating of coastal correspondents and editors.\n\nFour: While journalists at that same traditional media are outraged by The Spicer Doctrine, seeing it as an affront to natural justice, their colleagues in the commercial department are delighted.\n\nFrankly, Mr Trump's relationship with the traditional media, while hateful, is a marriage of convenience.\n\nSubscriptions to the Hillary-Clinton-endorsing New York Times have rocketed.\n\nIt turns out that the \"two way\" process Mr Spicer mentioned is a case of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.\n\nThis is a theme I shall be returning to.\n\nFive: In one sense, democratic governments have always tried to regulate the media while paying lip service to media freedom and plurality.\n\nAfter all, government designs the laws under which media operate.\n\nBut government is too hard, too complicated, and too relentless to accommodate a war against traditional media outlets.\n\nJust as opponents of torture argue that co-operation is the better route to good intelligence, so a constructive and open relationship between government and media is better for both, so long as there is honesty about conflicting interests.\n\nRight now, The Spicer Doctrine is a useful way of energising the roughly half of Americans who backed Mr Trump.\n\nSoon enough, it could be bad for democracy, by wasting government time, preventing proper scrutiny, and filling cyberspace with sound and fury that signify nothing - of which there is no shortage of supply already.", "US President Donald Trump has said he will handle trade discussions with the UK himself, ahead of a meeting with the British prime minister.\n\nThe president said he would have to deal with the talks because his chosen commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, has yet to be officially confirmed by the Senate.", "President Trump invited Prime Minister Theresa May to the White House and has been trying to strengthen US-UK relations. Not everybody is happy about that.\n\nPresident Trump loves the UK - and seems pleased with the way that Britons voted to leave the European Union (EU). As the Atlantic Council's Reginald Dale said, describing Trump's views: \"He's very pro-British, and he doesn't like the EU.\"\n\nFor critics of the administration, Trump's invitation to May - she's the first foreign leader to meet with the new president - and his efforts to build a closer relationship with the UK are a troubling development.\n\nThese critics see Brexit, a term that's used to describe a country's process of leaving the European Union, as a disaster.\n\nThe detractors worry that Trump will try to leverage his friendship with May and her fellow Britons as a way to express support for Brexit - and in this way will encourage more countries to leave the European Union.\n\nOn Friday afternoon, Trump and May stood together in the White House's East Room, an open space with an oak floor.\n\nThe room was decorated with marble-topped fireplaces, white candles and heavy, gold curtains (a George Washington portrait, one that was first hung on a wall in the room in 1800, was not in its usual spot).\n\nThe two leaders were in a place that was steeped in tradition - as is the so-called special relationship, a friendship between the US and the UK that dates back generations. For Trump and May, though, it's all new.\n\nThey'd met only the day before in Philadelphia, where they were both attending a US congressional retreat. When White House officials first sent out a schedule for the president's meeting with May, they spelled her name wrong, inadvertently dropping the \"h\" in Theresa.\n\nStill, they had good intentions - and big plans. At the White House, the two leaders discussed Russia, counterterrorism and defence issues.\n\nThey're open to the possibility of a trade deal between the US and the UK. It could only be signed once the UK leaves the European Union, a process that will take years. But on Friday they seemed eager to get started.\n\n\"Opposites attract,\" May has told reporters. Understated and reserved, she has a different style than Trump. Still, she said recently that she's \"not afraid to speak frankly to a president of the United States\".\n\nOn Friday - at least in the East Room - they got along well. It was an auspicious beginning for a \"most special relationship\", as he put it. They stood at identical lecterns - six to eight feet apart. She wore a paisley scarf, while he had on a bright-red, wide tie.\n\nFor most of the 18-minute press conference, they smiled at each other.\n\nAt one point she congratulated him on his \"stunning\" victory. He looked at people in the audience, a group made up of presidential aides and reporters, as if he wanted to make sure that they'd heard what she said.\n\n\"We're going to have a fantastic relationship,\" he told them. A moment later he spoke exuberantly about Brexit. Then the mood changed, slightly.\n\nUp until that point, she'd been all smiles. As he spoke about Brexit, though, she looked sombre. She glanced at the people in the audience, as if she were trying to gauge their reaction to his remarks.\n\nAfterwards she spoke briefly about the way that they both value \"ordinary working people\". Then he picked up his notes, which had been typed out on sheets of paper, and put them into the pocket in his jacket. They left the room together in a show of solidarity.\n\nTheir alliance rests on a solid foundation. In a speech on Thursday, May spoke about the friendship between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, two icons for conservatives in the US.\n\nConservatives at think-tanks in Washington have been quick to bring up this friendship when talking about the relationship between the current prime minister and the president. \"Instinctively, Trump - you know - really likes Britain,\" said Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation.\n\nSo do Trump's aides. When Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, uses the phrase, \"special relationship\", he's not being snarky. \"I think we've always had that special relationship,\" he told a reporter at a White House briefing on 23 January. \"But we can always be closer.\"\n\nThings were different with the Obama White House officials. They liked the Britons, too, but they gently mocked the phrase \"special relationship\". This reflected their views about foreign policy in Europe.\n\nAs Charles Kupchan, who was a senior adviser in the Obama White House, told me the relationship between the US and the UK was important. But the president was focused on Berlin, not London. \"Diplomacy,\" Kupchan said, \"tilted towards the Continent\".\n\nThis became more pronounced after UK voters expressed their desire to leave the European Union.\n\nObama focused on the special relationship, but not to the exclusion of Europe\n\nTrump administration officials supported the decision of UK voters to leave the European Union, and in the aftermath they've been hoping for a deeper friendship between Americans and Britons and their leaders.\n\nThe perception of a newfound closeness of the two leaders has rattled some Europeans.\n\nGuy Verhofstadt, a former Belgium prime minister, was visiting Washington this week to promote his book, Europe's Last Chance: Why the European States Must Form a More Perfect Union.\n\nWhile speaking with reporters on Thursday, he described ways that Trump has tried to undermine the European alliance. Verhofstadt said he believes that Trump is \"hoping\" more countries will leave - and \"disintegrate the European Union\".\n\nGardiner knows that not everyone is happy about the renewed relationship between the US and the UK or about the developments in Europe. But he wishes they'd embrace the new order.\n\n\"Brexit is about sovereignty, self determination and freedom,\" Gardiner told me. \"These are all great things.\" Anyway there's not much the detractors can do about it, he said, adding: \"The winds of change are blowing through Europe.\"\n• None Trump and May - Do opposites attract?", "Most famous for her video for Justin Bieber, Parris Goebel has gone from suburban New Zealand girl to global dance and style icon.\n\nIt all began with polyswag - her unique take on hip hop inspired by her Polynesian heritage.\n\nThe BBC profiles her as part of a series on Asian women likely to make the news in 2017.\n\nVideo by Mauricio Olmedo-Perez and Saira Asher.

He described the conflict as \"like two bald men fighting over a comb,\" quoting the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges.\n\nHe strongly condemned the decision to sink the Argentine cruiser, General Belgrano, insisting the vessel had been steering away from the conflict when torpedoed by a British submarine.\n\nHis political opponents called him Daft Tam, ignoring the methodical and painstaking preparation he put into sourcing the facts to back up his arguments.\n\nHe was no slave to parliamentary protocol and was suspended from the House on numerous occasions, twice for calling Mrs Thatcher \"a liar\" over the Falklands campaign.\n\n\"She is a bounder, a liar, a deceiver, a cheat, a crook and a disgrace to the House of Commons,\" was one notable contribution during a 1987 debate.\n\nHowever, some felt that his intemperate language did nothing to win him support.\n\nFormer Conservative MP and later political commentator, Matthew Parris said that \"this element of personal vendetta seriously weakens his case\".\n\nDalyell was persistent in trying to uncover the truth about the Lockerbie bombing and consistently said he did not believe Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi was responsible for the outrage.\n\nHe was, predictably, bitterly opposed to the Gulf War, \"Kuwait is the 19th bloody state of Iraq,\" and went to Baghdad in 1994 to negotiate with Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz.\n\nThe election of a Labour government under Tony Blair in 1997 failed to deter Dalyell from speaking his mind.\n\nIn 1999, he decided that he would no longer vote at Westminster on purely English issues, defying a number of three-line whips.\n\nHe was one of 25 MPs who opposed military action in Kosovo. \"I am one of a dwindling number of MPs who have actually worn the Queen's uniform,\" he said.\n\nHe continued to live in the ancestral home\n\n\"Perhaps we are a bit less relaxed about unleashing war than those who have never been in a military situation.\"\n\nHe had little time for the New Labour project, describing Tony Blair as the worst of the eight prime ministers who had held power while he was a parliamentarian.\n\nIn 2001, he became Father of the House, the longest continuous serving MP, using his position to attack the US led invasion of Iraq.\n\n\"These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world,\" he said. \"I am appalled that a British Labour prime minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.\"\n\nDalyell stood down from the House of Commons in 2005, after serving 43 years as an MP, first for West Lothian, then, from 1983, the redrawn constituency of Linlithgow.\n\nBehind Tam Dalyell's somewhat shambling and eccentric demeanour was a keen analytical brain and a passion for meticulous research.\n\nUnrepentant about his dogged approach, he claimed that \"you must not be afraid to be thought a bore\".\n\nHe was that rare thing among politicians, a man who stuck to his principles, regardless of how unpopular it made him.", "During a television interview on Wednesday, Donald Trump made some of his most detailed allegations about the fraud he says was responsible for Hillary Clinton's popular vote victory in the recently concluded presidential election.\n\nHe said some Americans are registered and cast ballots in multiple states and that dead people and undocumented migrants are voting in droves. He added, confidently, that none of these illegal votes were for him.\n\n\"They would all be for the other side,\" he said, possibly forgetting that one of the few arrests for voting fraud in 2016 was of an Iowa woman who tried to vote for him twice.\n\nWhen pressed for evidence to support his claims, Mr Trump cited a 2012 Pew study.\n\nWhen ABC's David Muir noted that the author of that report had said he found no evidence of fraud, Mr Trump got personal.\n\nDonald Trump continues to talk about voter fraud in an election he won\n\n\"He's grovelling again,\" he said of the report's author, David Becker. \"You know, I always talk about the reporters that grovel when they want to write something that you want to hear but not necessarily millions of people want to hear or have to hear.\"\n\nIn fact, while the Pew report did find that many voting rolls contained outdated or inaccurate information, Becker said at the time and has since repeated that there was no evidence that these problems - often caused by voters moving or individuals dying without election registrars receiving updates - constituted evidence of fraud.\n\nMr Trump's comments have been accompanied by a raft of tweets over the course of the week. In one instance, he cited a conservative activist from Alabama, Gregg Phillips, who created a smart phone app that crowd-sources claims of voter fraud. (It is currently unavailable on the Apple app store and has fewer than 5,000 downloads on Google Play).\n\n\"Look forward to seeing final results of VoteStand,\" Mr M . \"Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better!\"\n\nAlthough Phillips has made these assertions since election day, he has yet to provide information on how he arrived at this number. Scientific studies conducted over the past decade have found scant evidence of any voter fraud.\n\nBoth Mr Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence have promised that the administration will conduct a \"major investigation\" into voter fraud. A formal executive action ordering such a inquiry could be issued in the coming days.\n\n\"Depending on the results, we will strengthen up voting procedures,\" Mr Trump tweeted.\n\nThat last line is likely painfully familiar to liberals. Although Mr Trump's comments were over the top and easily debunked, they mirror more nuanced justifications Republican politicians have offered at the state level to justify tightening voter registration procedures, imposing strict polling place identification rules and curtailing early voting opportunities.\n\nThey are part and parcel, critics say, of a comprehensive plan to limit turnout of Democratic-leaning voting groups that are less likely to have necessary identification, less able to take time off to vote on election day and less comfortable navigating through voter registration procedures.\n\n\"Donald Trump is lying to the American people about undocumented people voting because he wants to set the stage for more voter suppression,\" Congressman Keith Ellison, a candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee, told Washington's The Hill newspaper. \"Expect Trump and his henchmen to push restrictive photo ID, limit early voting and make it harder to register.\"\n\nA national version of the state-level laws in places like Ohio, Wisconsin and North Carolina - which Democrats attribute to causing lower turnout levels for Mrs Clinton in those key swing states - would be a worst-case scenario for liberals. But it's just part of the current battle over voting procedures.\n\nChief Justice John Roberts penned a Supreme Court opinion that opened the door to new voting regulations\n\nThe courts have been the site of some of the fiercest fights over voting rights in the past decade. There are multiple ongoing cases dealing with voter identification measures being considered by lower-level courts, including a challenge to a Texas law that had been supported by the Obama administration but could now be opposed by Trump lawyers.\n\nPerhaps the most significant change in US voting law came from the Supreme Court in 2013, when it struck down a section of the Voting Rights Act that required the federal government to pre-authorise any changes in balloting procedures in certain states and jurisdictions, many in the South, that had a history of voting discrimination.\n\nThat decision made it significantly easier for previously covered areas to implement the aforementioned voting restrictions - identification laws and early voting curtailment, in addition to the closing or relocation of polling stations.\n\nConservatives have responded that such measures are necessary to ensure voting security - and, in any event, things like early voting are a recent development that have no constitutional protections. They argue that photo identification, required to board a plane or cash a cheque, are an everyday fact of life that present no significant burden to voters.\n\nMake no mistake, however, this fight over voter fraud is - at its heart - a nakedly partisan battle. As Republican legislators North Carolina made clear when they studied voting demographics and photo ID possession while crafting their state's election laws, it's a way to cut into their opposition's base.\n\nCivil rights activists in North Carolina protest to defend their voting rights\n\n\"Look, if African Americans voted overwhelmingly Republican, they would have kept early voting right where it was,\" long-time North Carolina Republican strategist Carter Wrenn told the Washington Post. \"It wasn't about discriminating against African Americans. They just ended up in the middle of it because they vote Democrat.\"\n\nDemocrats, one the other hand, tend to exaggerate the impact of identification laws and dismiss studies that show little effect on turnout.\n\n\"Despite Republican legislators' best attempts to suppress minority voters, study after study has found that voter ID laws have little to no effect on voter turnout,\" writes Vox's German Lopez. \"At worst, the effect is small - barely detectable even in studies that employ multiple controls. At best, there's no effect at all or even an increase.\"\n\nOther voting changes, like polling place consolidation and early voting curtailment, could have a more pronounced impact, however - and while it's unlikely any move in that regard would come at the national level, Mr Trump's rhetoric could provide cover for further state efforts.\n\nIn particular, the Trump administration may be taking particular aim at Democratic states. During a recent briefing, press secretary Sean Spicer said that the coming voting fraud investigation could take a closer look at California and New York - two traditionally Democratic states that overwhelmingly backed Mrs Clinton last year. '\n\nAdd that to the already released plans to put the squeeze on cities - primarily in liberal states - that offer \"sanctuary\" to undocumented workers, and it seems increasingly like the Trump administration has political payback on its mind.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester United set up an EFL Cup final against Southampton despite their 17-match unbeaten run ending with defeat at Hull City in the semi-final second leg on Thursday.\n\nJose Mourinho's side led 2-0 from the first leg but, making five changes, they struggled to impose themselves at the KCOM Stadium.\n\nTom Huddlestone put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot after four players had tangled in the area after a set-piece, Marcos Rojo's pull on Harry Maguire's shirt the most visible offence.\n\nIt gave Hull, 19th in the Premier League, poise and confidence, but their hopes of just a second domestic cup final in their 113-year history were dashed when Paul Pogba poked through the legs of Maguire and into the bottom corner from 10 yards.\n\nRojo headed against the bar for United and the Tigers' Oumar Niasse also struck the woodwork before he turned in David Meyler's cross to set up a tense finale.\n\nBut the visitors held on and former Chelsea boss Mourinho could move level with Brian Clough and Sir Alex Ferguson on four League Cup wins at Wembley on 26 February.\n• None 'It was 1-1' - Mourinho says Man Utd 'didn't lose'\n\nFormer boss Ferguson said earlier in the week that Mourinho had \"got to grips\" with the managerial role at Old Trafford - and a major final will surely only further build confidence as United remain in the hunt for a Champions League qualification berth and in three cup competitions.\n\nThe EFL Cup may not top the list of objectives for Red Devils fans, but their team have shown a hunger to beat three Premier League teams on the way to Wembley in Hull, West Ham and Manchester City.\n\nOn his 54th birthday, Mourinho shuffled his pack. Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard were preferred to Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and United were deservedly beaten.\n\nThere were contentious moments, notably the penalty award which BBC Radio 5 live pundit Ally McCoist deemed \"soft\" and United had calls for their own spot-kick when Chris Smalling went down under Tom Huddlestone's challenge after the break.\n\nMourinho seemed irked by officiating after the match, but on the night his side had less of the ball, fewer shots than their hosts and were probably asked to work far harder than he would have liked.\n\nThere were positives. Marcus Rashford's pace on times troubled the hosts, Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed touches of flair - notably when bringing a fine save from David Marshall - and most importantly, United will bid for a fifth League Cup win.\n\nHowever, with progress comes dilemmas. Mourinho will now see the depth of his squad tested, with the final arriving on the same day United were scheduled to face Manchester City in the league and four days after the second leg of a Europa League tie at Saint-Etienne.\n\nHull, on paper at least, stood no chance before kick-off. On 26 of the 27 previous occasions a side had lost a League Cup semi-final first leg by two or more goals they have gone out.\n\nBut ploughing on through adversity is a necessary pre-requisite at the KCOM Stadium.\n\nRobert Snodgrass - who has created 30 more chances than any other Hull player this season - was left out amid two bids for his services, midfielder Jake Livermore has been sold and recent acquisition Ryan Mason will likely face a long lay-off after fracturing his skull. All things considered, this was a display to be applauded.\n\nThe fact the starting line-up included four players who have each played less than five games this season in Shaun Maloney, Jarron Bowen, Niasse and Josh Tymon, perhaps underlined coach Marco Silva's priorities.\n\nBut Bowen was neat and tidy, while Everton-reject Niasse proved a constant nuisance. The experience of Tom Huddlestone was key as he picked intelligent passes in midfield and new recruit Lazar Markovic came off the bench to help craft the second goal.\n\nWith Hull's league position so precarious, would the distraction of a cup final proved a nuisance for Silva?\n\nHe has a bigger battle to fight but this win showed that even with key names out, he has a squad which may have the character needed for a successful scrap against the drop.\n• None Listen: Spirit is being ripped from Hull - McCoist\n\nFor all the Hull vigour, semi-finals belong to winners and United will now compete in their ninth League Cup final.\n\nVictory in this competition of course kick-started Ferguson's success in 1992, and a quarter of a century on Mourinho will bid to maintain his unbeaten run in League cup finals.\n\n\"Wembley is Wembley, it is for professionals with passion for football. It has a special meaning, a special feeling,\" said the United boss.\n\n'I behaved on the bench' - what the managers said\n\nHull manager Marco Silva: \"It was a good win but not enough for our goal. It is important to win the game but the result in the first leg caused problems for us. It was a good performance again, a good attitude and we controlled the game in large periods against a big team. It is impossible at this moment to feel really happy.\n\n\"The goal we conceded is not a normal goal, we lost control at the vital moment.\"\n\nManchester United boss Jose Mourinho: \"I just want to say congratulations to my players. It was a difficult road to be in the final and we are in the final. I don't want to say anything else.

It's something you wouldn't expect to hear - Tory MPs don't normally offer a warm greeting to the idea of renationalising part of the rail network.\n\nThat's how topsy-turvy the Southern situation has become.\n\nChris Philp, the Conservative MP for Croydon South, has been calling for the government to strip the company of its contract since last May.\n\nIt would mean placing it back into public hands, at least for the time being, but it's a price Chris is willing to pay.\n\n\"The franchise is too big and the current finance structure doesn't incentivise the company to perform\", he says.\n\n\"The unions must take their share of the blame, but the company has also been incompetent.\"\n\nUnusually for a Conservative MP, Chris Philp would be in favour of a return to public ownership, for now\n\nLabour is pushing to renationalise the entire rail network, but its Hove and Portslade MP, Peter Kyle, isn't convinced that a Department for Transport (DfT) takeover is the right move for Southern.\n\n\"I worry that passengers will believe, falsely, that all the problems can be solved with a quick wave of the wand. Public ownership might solve some of the problems, but not all.\"\n\nPeter says he wants \"muscular\" government intervention, but not necessarily officials taking charge.\n\nWhat other options might be on the table for ministers?\n\nThe DfT is currently crunching the numbers, trying to work out if Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), has broken its contract promises on delays and cancellations.\n\nIf it has, (and they've been arguing about it for months. Does a big rise in sick days, for example, count as unofficial industrial action?) ministers have the option of ditching the deal.\n\nBut would that really help?\n\nNot necessarily: don't get the impression that there is a team of rail super-sub bosses sitting on the sidelines poised to make the trains run on time.\n\nThe role of the guard is central to the dispute between workers and the company\n\nIf the government did take over, it would remove the top layer of executives, replacing them with yet more top executives, probably semi-retired former rail bosses. The rest of Southern's staff would stay the same.\n\nAnd they'd be facing the same problems:\n\nAnd I haven't even mentioned the debilitating upgrades to the Thameslink part of the franchise, including rebuilding London Bridge.\n\nExperts had predicted it would cause 10,000 delay-minutes per year. In reality, it's caused 10,000 delay-minutes per week, and there's plenty more to come.\n\nThen there's what happens afterwards. Any new team would only be caretakers until a new company was brought in and that process takes at least 18 months.\n\nTalks between the unions and the company have so far failed to reach agreement\n\nTalking to people at other train operating firms, they feel they dodged a bullet not winning the current GTR contract, so would they really bid for a new one? National Express has just pulled out of trains completely. It used to be Britain's biggest player in the sector.\n\nThe government is legally obliged to keep the trains running whatever happens. It's hardly surprising that officials have been kicking around options if GTR gets ditched.\n\nThey've a person in mind to be the temporary boss.\n\nPressure is mounting for the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to take direct action, but renationalising part of the railway goes against every bone in his political body. It would be a humiliating loss in the government's effort to sell privatisation as a success story.\n\nChris Philp MP still thinks it's worth it, though.\n\n\"You can't point at this and say privatisation doesn't work\", he says. \"This situation isn't like anywhere else.\"\n\nHis belief is that they tried something different with this franchise and it didn't come off.", "Parents were warned against buying pink, gender-stereotyped Christmas presents for girls by the Institution of Engineering and Technology last month.

\"her sole duty\", it says, is \"to promote Britain's interests\".\n\nThe Telegraph's cartoonist, Bob, captures \"the special relationship\", as Mr Trump looks into a mirror.\n\nThe i newspaper says the prime minister has \"a superb chance to recast Britain's relationship with America\" and advises that to command Mr Trump's respect she must \"show the forceful confidence of a world leader\".\n\nThe Telegraph reports that Mrs May is preparing to abandon plans for a British Bill of Rights after leaving the EU.\n\nIt quotes government sources as saying plans to scrap the Human Rights Act - already shelved until after Brexit - may now be abandoned entirely, because the sovereignty of British courts will already be significantly strengthened.\n\n\"Corbyn facing MPs' Brexodus\" is the headline for the Daily Mirror, after Tulip Siddiq quit as shadow education minister in response to the Labour leader ordering his MPs to vote to trigger Article 50.\n\nIt says Mr Corbyn is facing a walkout by his frontbench team, while the Mail reports what it calls a \"farcical development\" - the party whip, Thangam Debbonaire, apparently telling MPs she will vote against the bill.\n\nBut, the i says, while the bill has reinforced Labour divisions, several shadow cabinet members known to be worried appear to have fallen in behind Mr Corbyn.\n\nThe lead for the Daily Express is what its headline describes as a \"huge boost\" for pensions.\n\nIt says payouts have surged to their highest level since the financial crisis in 2008, thanks to what the paper calls Britain's Brexit boom.\n\nFor the Daily Mail, the main story is what it calls the new pain threshold test designed to save the NHS millions: denying patients hip or knee replacements unless their pain is so severe they cannot sleep through the night.\n\nIt says three health trusts in the Midlands hope to slash operations by a fifth.\n\nThe Times says \"the latest NHS rationing plans\" come as the number of such operations is increasing by about 8% a year.\n\nThe Times reports that visitors to Britain face the prospect of a tourist tax to stay in popular cities, as councils \"scramble to raise cash to pay for local services\".\n\nThe paper says London Mayor Sadiq Khan will today back charging visitors a hotel levy in a move that could raise tens of millions of pounds for City Hall, and which, if successful, could be replicated up and down the country.\n\nThe British film industry is, according to the Guardian's headline, \"flying high thanks to Superman and Star Wars\".\n\nThey are among 200 movies that began shooting in the UK last year, 48 of which were funded overseas with a total spend of £1.6bn.\n\nThe i points out that the three most successful films in 2016 were made here: Rogue One, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Bridget Jones's Baby.\n\nAnd finally, a study about canine musical tastes produces a panoply of puns.\n\n\"Pooch-ini?

and the scheme has proved controversial.\n\nOne set up in East London in 2012 closed after just two years, having failed to attract enough pupils, while another in Bedfordshire was branded inadequate by Ofsted.\n\nSome head teachers seem to be resisting the idea of the vocational style of education, barring UTCs from recruiting pupils from their schools.\n\nBut statistics suggest that pupils attending UTCs have just as good results if not better than those in more conventional schools.\n\nIt is something James Culley, head of computer science at the school, sees for himself every day.\n\n\"I have never seen students learn so quickly,\" he told the BBC.\n\nOne group of children in an Indiana school are loving learning with drones\n\nLots of primary schools are now convinced of the importance of learning to code.\n\nAs well as lessons devoted to it, after-school code clubs proliferate as do DIY computers such as the BBC's Micro Bit and the Raspberry Pi.\n\nTynker, a company that has already brought its coding-through-games philosophy to 60,000 schools in the US, recently launched a new project - teaching coding through drone lessons.\n\nHundreds of schools in the US have taken up the idea and it is now preparing to launch in the UK.\n\nSchools typically buy between six and 12 drones via Tynker's partnership with drone maker Parrot and can then download Tynker's free set of drone lessons.\n\nThe children at Towne Meadow turn up early for drone club, said their teacher\n\nChildren learn to make drones do back-flips, as well as more complex idea such as drones working together as a team.\n\nIt would take, you may think, a rather brave teacher to commit to flying drones in the classroom, but Josie McKay, a Fourth Grade teacher at Towne Meadow Elementary School in Indiana has no such qualms.\n\n\"Over the last month, I have seen their confidence build as they went from coding their drone to hover off of the floor to flying their drone around the room without crashing into any obstacles,\" she says.\n\n\"Each week these students develop new and more challenging goals for themselves, work together, and code their drone accordingly.\n\n\"The excitement on their faces when they achieve their goal, especially when it is completed in a short amount of time, is infectious.\"\n\nThe drones come with a range of safety features, including a \"classroom mode\" that means they take off extra slowly.\n\nChildren cannot take command of each other's drones, and there is an automatic stop button if inquisitive fingers come in proximity with the drone's blades.\n\nTynker founder and chief executive Krishna Vedati told the BBC: \"Our goal is not to create programmers but to offer coding as a life skill.\"\n\nVirtual reality and augmented reality could prove a huge boon to education\n\nPicture a classroom where, instead of handouts or text books, all pupils learn from their own headset - entering a virtual reality world to learn about the French revolution, or interacting with a hologram of the solar system to learn about space.\n\nAccording to Lenovo's global education specialist, Sam Morris, there are huge benefits from learning this way.\n\n\"We see AR and VR as the next frontier,\" he says.\n\n\"Early usage has suggested the devices engage pupils intently in tasks, improve group interactions and the ability to adapt to multiple disciplines.\"\n\nMicrosoft was at Bett showing off HoloLens - its recently released \"mixed reality\" headset.\n\nIt has worked in conjunction with Case Western Reserve University to develop a hologram of the human body that can be dissected and bones, organs and veins viewed in detail.\n\nIt is also working with education provider Pearson to develop other educational resources for the device.\n\nThe developer edition of HoloLens currently sells for £2,719 which makes even buying one headset out of the reach for most cash-strapped schools.\n\n\"The declining cost of VR and AR devices will be critical to driving mass adoption in education,\" says Mr Morris.", "A Holocaust survivor has told of his memories of being separated from his mother at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War Two.\n\nFrank Bright, now 88 and living near Ipswich, was 16 years old when he lost his parents in the Nazi genocide against Europe's Jews.\n\nHis journey had taken him from the family home in Berlin to Auschwitz via Prague and a Jewish ghetto in Czechoslovakia.\n\nHis father had been transported to Auschwitz two weeks before he was sent there by train with his mother in 1944.\n\nOn arrival at Auschwitz, he was deemed fit for slave labour and put to work, while his mother was sent to the gas chambers.\n\n\"It was the stench of death,\" he says. \"People had the power of life and death over you.

But most now represent constituencies that voted to leave.\n\nAnd as Parliament prepares to vote on triggering divorce talks with Brussels, Labour MPs are being ordered to approve the start of Brexit by a party leader who spent his backbench career ignoring similar demands for discipline.\n\nThese are agonising days for a parliamentary party struggling to maintain a coherent position on the biggest issue facing British politics for a generation.\n\nLet's start with Jeremy Corbyn's decision to impose what, in parliamentary parlance, is called a three-line whip.\n\nAs far as the political parties in Westminster are concerned, MPs are not sent to Parliament to carefully weigh up each issue and vote according to their own judgement or conscience.\n\nNo, they are there to vote as their party leadership tells them to. Over the weekend, all MPs will receive a letter from their party's whips office telling them how to vote on various Bills before the Commons next week.\n\nArticle 50 of the Lisbon treaty sets out how countries can leave the EU.\n\nThe most important by far will be the Second Reading of the bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.\n\nIt will not be the end of the parliamentary process for the Bill (a Committee stage will follow the week after and the Lords needs to approve it too) but it's a big moment.\n\nAnd in the letter Labour MPs will receive, the name of the bill will be underlined three times. That means they must vote as their party managers instruct - no ifs, no buts.\n\nIn this case, they must vote to support the government's plan to trigger Article 50 by the end of March.\n\nIt's an instruction that gives Labour MPs no wiggle-room or freedom to vote according to their conscience. Of course, Labour MPs can choose to ignore the instruction but for backbenchers that would normally mean a big black mark against their name by the party whips and for front benchers such insubordination would mean resignation or the sack.\n\nSo why has Mr Corbyn decided to issue a three-line whip on Article 50?\n\nFirst, he has made it clear Labour will respect the result of the referendum and not block the start of Brexit in Parliament. Mr Corbyn believes it is imperative his party has a clear position on the issue.\n\nFor him personally, triggering Article 50 may not cause too much discomfort. He campaigned for Remain but has been an EU sceptic most of his political life.\n\nBut there are obvious political considerations at play too. Roughly two thirds of parliamentary constituencies represented by Labour MPs voted to leave the EU.\n\nUKIP leader Paul Nuttall hopes to gain from Labour's position on Brexit.\n\nAs the shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said: \"You have to remember how this looks to people in post-industrial Britain, former mining areas, the North, the Midlands, south Wales - it would look as if elites were refusing to listen to them\".\n\nSwathes of Labour's traditional working-class heartlands voted to leave the EU and the leadership believes the party must stand firmly behind their decision.\n\nThere are imminent electoral tests for Labour too: By-elections in Copeland and Stoke on Trent.\n\nStoke voted to leave the EU by 69.4% and UKIP's leader Paul Nuttall is running in the city he is describing as the \"capital of Brexit\".\n\nIf the Labour leadership was to look flaky on the question of triggering Brexit, the party could give up on holding Stoke Central now.\n\nAnd as Labour MPs who represent similar seats look ahead to the next general election they will make the same calculation.\n\nBristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire is expected to defy her own whip.\n\nI've spoken to former Labour ministers who passionately believe that leaving the EU will be bad for Britain, but feel they must respect the referendum result.\n\nAnd if they want to keep their seats, they have little choice.\n\nHowever, there is a second category of Labour MPs with a very different perspective.\n\nAccording to BBC research, about 70 Labour MPs represent constituencies that voted to remain in the EU.\n\nJust four of those MPs campaigned to leave (including Kate Hoey in Vauxhall and Gisela Stuart in Birmingham Edgbaston) which means dozens of Labour MPs who wanted to keep Britain in the EU represent seats that voted the same way.\n\nAnd many of them look set to defy Jeremy Corbyn's orders on Article 50. Even two Labour whips - Jeff Smith and Thangam Debbonaire - have said they will refuse to vote in favour of the Article 50 Bill, in a bizarre show of parliamentary self-flagellation.\n\nIt seems likely a number of front bench and even shadow cabinet Labour MPs will do the same. The question is, whether Mr Corbyn sacks them or allows some tacit elasticity.\n\nAs one Labour MP said to me this week, party discipline on the issue is rapidly breaking down and MPs were going \"feral\".\n\nMr Corbyn rebelled against the Labour whip 428 times during Labour's years in power and it's clear many of his MPs aren't cowed by calls for party discipline now.\n\nRemember too, polls conducted before the referendum showed a large majority of Labour Party members were strongly in favour of remaining in the EU. They will be making their views felt at constituency meetings.\n\nIn the end, the government will get its Article 50 Bill through Parliament with ease. Even if dozens of Labour MPs join other opposition parties and vote against the bill or abstain, the government seems certain to secure a hefty majority.\n\nBut the choice being weighed up by Labour MPs goes to the heart of what Members of Parliament are for.\n\nIn this case, is it to endorse the decision of a national referendum? Is it to reflect the wishes of their constituents? Is it support the position of their party in Parliament?\n\nOr is to judge, individually, what they think is in the best interests of the country? Perhaps not since the Iraq vote in 2003 have Labour MPs faced such a testing decision.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nWest Ham have completed the signing of Hull City midfielder Robert Snodgrass for a fee of £10.2m.\n\nThe Scotland player, 29, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at London Stadium.\n\n\"I'm delighted, this is a massive club with great tradition,\" said Snodgrass, who scored seven times in 20 Premier League games for Hull this season.\n\nHe becomes West Ham's second signing this month after the arrival of defender Jose Fonte from Southampton.\n\nThe Hammers saw off competition from Burnley and Middlesbrough to sign Snodgrass, and boss Slaven Bilic could hand him his debut in the home league match with Manchester City on Wednesday.\n\n\"The owners and the manager are trying to build something here and I just can't wait to get started,\" added Snodgrass, who joined Hull from Norwich in 2014 for a fee in excess of £6m.\n\n\"I feel this is a club with real ambition, with the new stadium, great players and a manager of his calibre at Premier League level.\n\n\"The club has had a few good weeks with results and if I can add to that, great.

The latter, retired Marine Corps officer Gen James Mattis, says torture does not work.\n\nSo what are the global implications if the president goes ahead, asks BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner.\n\nThere is a South African proverb, dating from the apartheid era, that goes like this: \"How do you catch an elephant? You catch a mouse and keep beating it up until it admits it's really an elephant.\"\n\nRidiculous as this may sound, there is an echo of truth here. Torture hurts. That's the whole point of it.\n\nSo if someone is tortured badly enough they will say anything to make it stop, including making things up that they think their tormentors will want to hear.\n\nPrisons in certain Middle Eastern countries, especially Syria, are crammed full of people who are being abused so badly they will eventually sign any \"confession\" to make the treatment stop.

These were secret, unacknowledged prisons, run by the CIA and scattered around the globe in Afghanistan, Thailand, Poland, Romania and other countries.\n\nThere they were subjected to repeated waterboarding, which makes the bound and helpless victim feel like they are drowning. Khaled Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded a staggering number of times, well over 100.\n\nAnd yet years later, when in 2014 the US Senate's Intelligence and Security Select Committee issued its report on the use of torture under the Bush administration it concluded that torture was \"not an effective means of acquiring intelligence or gaining cooperation from detainees\".\n\nOn Thursday, the US House Speaker, Paul Ryan, said torture was not legal and that the committee agreed it was not legal. Senator John McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, also opposes it.\n\n\"The president can sign whatever executive order he likes,\" he said, \"but the law is the law. We are not bringing back torture in the USA.\"\n\nThere would be strong resistance too from both America's allies and from within the intelligence community itself.\n\nThere is a general acceptance now, in most of the world, that those practices carried out in the early years after the 9/11 attacks - extraordinary rendition, detention without trial, enhanced interrogation - were not only morally wrong, they were also counter-productive.\n\nThey very rarely produced useful, actionable intelligence. They traumatised not only the victims, some of whom were completely innocent, but also those who witnessed the shocking dehumanising of an individual. Undoubtedly this has given the green light to some unscrupulous practices by regimes who see America's earlier use of torture as a license to do what they like to their own citizens.\n\nUnthinkable as it sounds now, the US even rendered one \"high value detainee\" to his own country - Syria - for interrogation, knowing that there would be few restraints on his treatment there.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. John McCain said he'd have Donald Trump in court in 'a New York minute' if he reinstated waterboarding\n\nThere is also the legal aspect. In 2010 David Cameron, who was then UK prime minister, set up a judge-led, independent inquiry into allegations of complicity by MI5 and MI6 officers in torture.\n\nCareer intelligence officers who had thought they were doing the right thing at the time - such as, hypothetically, being within earshot of the harsh interrogation of a suspect in a Pakistani jail - found themselves being questioned by detectives from the Metropolitan Police.\n\nThe inquiry was eventually scrapped but it has at least led to a widespread rethink on respect for human rights inside intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nSenior intelligence officers who lived through this difficult period are likely to strongly resist turning the clock back and returning to those days.\n\nIt is also questionable whether the US would find willing partners to host black site prisons amongst those countries only too relieved to have closed that chapter in their national histories.", "Diane Munday had an abortion in 1961, six years before the Abortion Act - now 50 years old - made abortion legal in Britain. While she could afford a Harley Street operation, she knew her neighbours were facing backstreet procedures with knitting needles. Here she explains how this inspired a life-long campaign for reform.\n\nIt wasn't until I was about 21 years old that I first heard the word \"abortion.\"\n\nIn those days you had clothes made by a dressmaker and a local young married woman was making me a party dress; I went to her house for fittings. She had three young children and lived in a small post-war prefab house. I remember a very happy family. The father worked in a local factory and the children went to dancing lessons.\n\nOne day when I came home from work - I was a research assistant at Barts Hospital - my mother told me the dressmaker had died. I discovered she had had a backstreet abortion that went wrong. I hadn't heard of this before - probably because the word was considered unmentionable. At that time a pregnant woman having an abortion and anyone who helped her could go to prison for it.\n\nI was so shocked by this that I mentioned it to colleagues at lunch the next day. The doctors I worked with said it was a common experience and invited me to \"stay behind on Friday evening and we'll show you what the world is really like\".\n\nI discovered then that all the London teaching hospitals set a few wards aside each Friday for women who were septic, bleeding or dying from having backstreet abortions. There would be a spate of cases on Friday because it was payday.\n\nThey were often performed by people with some nursing experience using hot solutions and knitting needles or coat hanger hooks. A big problem was their inability to diagnose the stage of pregnancy accurately and the more advanced a pregnancy the more dangerous what they did became.\n\nDiane joined the Abortion Law Reform Society following the thalidomide scandal\n\nI put the incident to the back of my mind and over the next few years got married and then had three children of my own (in less than four years - there was no \"pill\" back then). During my third pregnancy the doctor gave me a prescription for thalidomide because I had problems sleeping. I left it on the mantelpiece and did not take the drug.\n\nThe thalidomide scandal broke shortly afterwards and I got to thinking that if I had been carrying a deformed foetus I would have wanted the option of ending the pregnancy. So I joined the Abortion Law Reform Association (ALRA) but initially did no more than pay my membership fee. This organisation had been founded in the 1930s but it wasn't really active as, post war, people preferred more polite social causes such as housing and education.\n\nThen I discovered I was pregnant again - my fourth in four years - and something in me just said: \"I cannot, I will not have this child.\" My husband said he would much rather I continued the pregnancy but that it was my decision and he would support me whatever I decided.\n\nAfter much asking around I found my way to Harley Street where there was a semi-legal procedure. The gynaecologist sent me to a friend who was a psychiatrist who said my mental health was so damaged by the pregnancy that my life was endangered. This was an accepted reason for an abortion because of a recent court case called the Bourne Case. It was only available to those who could afford to pay. I was quoted £150 - which was thousands in 1961 - but the doctor later halved it. He arranged for me to go to a private nursing home in north London\n\nThe procedure was done under general anaesthetic and I was in overnight. I found the nurses very unsympathetic - many of them disapproved because they were Roman Catholic. When I vomited due to the after effects of the anaesthetic, one nurse was extremely unpleasant.\n\nComing round from the anaesthetic, I remembered the young dressmaker who had died and realised how similar our situations were; we were both young women with three young children but where we differed was that , because I had a chequebook, I was alive and because she had no spare money she was dead. This seemed totally and unacceptably wrong. At that moment I vowed to myself that I would do everything I could to prevent women dying because they were poor.\n\nSo I went along to the next ALRA annual meeting, spoke to some people who had also joined because of the thalidomide scandal and within a year I was on the committee. That was when I started speaking out about abortion and that became my main role in the organisation.\n\nA poster from the 1960s printed by the Abortion Law Reform Association\n\nI gave talks to groups and, from the start, decided to be open about it and say, \"I have had an abortion.\" I clearly remember an early Townswomen's Guild meeting when, in the tea interval, members came up to me one after the other and said words to the effect of \"You know dear, I had an abortion in the 30s. My husband was out of work and we couldn't afford any more children.\" From then on this was a common experience and I realised abortion was an unmentionable but routine part of women's lives.\n\nI became infamous. I was boycotted by the grocers in the village because they said my money was tainted - that I had been doing backstreet abortions on my kitchen table. My sons were affected by comments at school when I was on TV and I think my husband found it difficult.\n\nBut it needed to be done, the work was so important as women were desperate. They would try to self-induce by drinking gin, having scalding baths and moving heavy furniture around. Some travelled across the country and knocked on my front door as well as that of our secretary, Dilys Cossey, because her address was on the ALRA literature.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Two different perspectives on abortion from Woman's Hour\n\nDespite being shunned by some in the village, women would come to me themselves or with their daughters when they were unmarried and pregnant. I'd drive them to a clinic and hold their hand while their daughter's pregnancy was ended but next time I saw them they'd cross the road.\n\nLater when ALRA needed money for its campaigning (it was run by unpaid volunteers) I approached the doctor who performed my own abortion to ask for a donation. It seemed to me that many doctors had benefited over the years and they could put some money back to help women who couldn't afford fees. He agreed and also gave me names of other doctors who might contribute.\n\nI asked him why he performed abortions and he told me that, when he was a young doctor, a patient said she would kill herself if she didn't get an abortion. He told her the usual tale about loving the baby when it was born: that night she drowned herself and he felt that he had killed her.\n\nDiane is concerned that there is still a taboo about admitting to having had an abortion\n\nAfter much lobbying of MPs and a number of Bills in the Commons and the Lords the 1967 Abortion Act was passed. This was a great victory and a big step forward for women. But, for me, even then, it was not enough. I always believed that the only person qualified to make a decision about a pregnancy was the woman herself. We had had to make the concession that every abortion would be approved by two doctors. It was the price we paid for legalising any abortions at all. Nevertheless the beneficial effect was almost immediate with the numbers of women admitted to London hospitals for \"septic miscarriages\" dropping hugely within a year of the Act coming into effect.\n\nBut still there were battles to fight. Particularly in areas of the country where medical opposition to legal abortion had been most ferocious, surgeons said they wouldn't perform abortions.\n\nI helped set up the Birmingham (later British) Pregnancy Advisory Service to help women where NHS doctors refused to comply with the Act. Initially it opened as a counselling service in someone's house. Women who could afford it were charged two shillings a visit and counselled and referred on to sympathetic doctors who would help them. This ensured that there was equitable treatment wherever somebody lived. Later, for 17 years, I worked for Bpas which had become a national organisation ensuring women were sympathetically and professionally treated wherever they lived and whatever the beliefs of local doctors.\n\nI'm proud of what I have done and of the benefits it has brought to so many women's lives. However, my concern now is the future. There's still a taboo around the subject making women reluctant to say: \"I feel all right about having had an abortion.\" Half a century after reform we live in a very different world. Women's' rights have moved on. Medical technology has moved on. But we still require two doctors to sanction the termination of a pregnancy that the pregnant women herself has decided on. It's unbearable.\n\nWe were among the first in Europe to allow abortion and now are almost the last to have stringent laws controlling it. I would like to think that, before I die, the job I helped to start is finished by abortion being taken out of the criminal law and the decision as to whether or not a pregnancy is to be ended is firmly placed where it belongs - in the hands of the pregnant woman.\n\nDiane Munday was interviewed by Claire Bates and Jane Garvey\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Restoration work in Rye Lane, Peckham, has revealed its long-forgotten history as the Oxford Street of the south.", "Donald Trump's first week as president has been \"dizzying\" and \"not normal times\", according to Ed Miliband.\n\nSpeaking to BBC Newsnight's Kirsty Wark, the former Labour leader criticised Prime Minister Theresa May for aligning herself too closely with Mr Trump's policies.", "Actress Ashley Judd's performance of the feminist slam poem #NastyWoman was one of the most shared videos of the Women's March in Washington DC.\n\nBut alongside the praise, many have condemned the poem - particularly the personal attacks it makes against President Trump.\n\nTrending spoke to the unlikely author of the poem, 19-year-old Dunkin Donuts worker Nina Mariah Donovan from Tennessee.\n\nYou can follow BBC Trending on Twitter @BBCtrending, and find us on Facebook.

The ball fell to Chris Baird, who tried to control the ball on his thigh but it went away from him back towards team-mate Bent.\n\nThe former Sunderland striker, standing just in front of the line, had plenty of time to control the ball or smash it to safety. But as he swung his foot to clear, the ball hit the side of his boot and flew behind him into the back of the net.\n\nMatch of the Day summariser Graeme Le Saux called it \"just the most bizarre goal\". The former England defender added: \"It is just terrible. From an experienced player, he's got time, he sees the ball. How he fails to get decent contact on it, baffling. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. He almost kicks it backwards into the net.\"\n\nBBC Radio 5 live's Andy Townsend said: \"He could have taken a touch before clearing. He didn't need to slash at it.\"\n\n\"I don't know what happened,\" said Bent after the game. \"I lost concentration and tried to hit the ball as hard as I could and it flew into the net. It wasn't the greatest start. Fair play to us to stick at it.\"\n\nBent made amends with a goal at the right end when Schmeichel punched a corner to Hughes, whose cross was met by Bent with a glancing header to turn the ball past the keeper into the corner of the net.\n\n\"It was playing on my mind, I thought 'what have I done here'? But I scored at the other end,\" he added.\n\nThe 32-year-old striker has now scored in 10 of his past 11 FA Cup games, including all five for Derby.\n\nThe Foxes rescue a replay they scarcely want\n\nLeicester named a strong team, with nine of their regular starting 11 from last season's title-winning team starting - and a 10th, Riyad Mahrez, coming on midway through the second half.\n\nBut as has been the case for most of their title defence so far - they sit five points above the relegation zone - they looked nothing like the 2015-16 legends.\n\nHowever, they did have enough chances to score before eventually equalising.\n\nHalf-time substitute Gray should have levelled when Albrighton's cross was punched away by Scott Carson to the winger, who fired the rebound straight at the former England keeper.\n\nAnd then moments later, he went even closer when his low shot from the edge of the box hit the post. The ball fell to Shinji Okazaki, whose first effort was blocked and his second - like his team-mate had done a minute before - went straight at Carson, who was on the ground.\n\nAnd, as if to sum up the difference between this season and last, Jamie Vardy - scorer of 24 goals last term and six this time around - headed straight at Carson from about six yards out.\n\nBut Morgan kept them in the cup with his late intervention, albeit in a replay neither side really wanted.\n\nWhile Derby are challenging for the play-offs, Leicester now have to juggle a Premier League relegation battle, a campaign in the Champions League knockout stages and an FA Cup replay.\n\nDerby boss Steve McClaren joked after the game that he would have brought on more strikers at the end to force a winner for either side if he could.\n\nMan of the match - Will Hughes (Derby County)\n\nManager reaction - 'We have to concentrate'\n\nDerby manager Steve McClaren: \"We did everything we could, we came across a team who were at it tonight. Our character was fantastic, we dug in in the second half and Scott Carson made some saves when we needed him to.\n\n\"The penalty incident? It's hit his hand and it's on target. I've seen them given but we didn't get the luck. We fought to the end, neither of us wanted a draw but what a cup tie. It was a great game, great atmosphere and I am proud of the players.\"\n\nLeicester manager Claudio Ranieri: \"It was a tough match. We started well and scored but slowly we lost our calm. They played well and scored twice. In the second half we again started well and created two or three chances. It was tough to score but thankfully Morgan got one for us.\n\n\"We have to concentrate. Too many times we concede. We can only work and be more focused.\"\n\nThe stats you need to know\n• None Derby are unbeaten at Pride Park in all competitions since Steve McClaren took charge in October 2016 (W7 D3).\n• None Bent became the first player to score at both ends in an FA Cup game since Aidan Hawtin (Brackley v Newport) in November 2015.\n• None Tom Ince (nine) and Darren Bent (six) have scored 15 of Derby's past 22 goals.\n• None Wes Morgan scored his first goal in 28 appearances in all competitions.\n• None Leicester are unbeaten in all of their past eight FA Cup games against teams from a lower division (W6 D2).\n\nBoth sides have away trips on Tuesday.

EU no longer wants to \"chastise\" the UK, says Philip Hammond\n\nIt is the big question swirling around government.\n\nAfter another set of economic figures stronger than expected, is this economic pain cancelled, or simply postponed?\n\nOn that central issue rests the fate of the government's economic policy.\n\nIf it is pain cancelled that means better real incomes for voters.\n\nIt means higher tax receipts for the government, lower levels of borrowing and more leeway to spend money on public services.\n\nAnd, of course, confidence tends to beget confidence.\n\nIf consumers - the most important drivers of the UK economy - feel the world around them is feeling positive, they tend to spend.\n\nFor businesses, it is not a lot different.\n\nLarry Fink, the head of the world's largest asset managers, BlackRock, made an interesting point at the World Economic Forum at Davos last week.\n\nAsked why consumer confidence hadn't collapsed following the referendum - or at least had recovered strongly after some initial uncertainty - Mr Fink answered that for lots of people who voted for Brexit or who voted for Donald Trump, the victories were not a negative event.\n\n\"They won,\" he said, simply felt good and kept spending. \"Car sales went up.\"\n\nFor the UK economy, it is worth considering two points.\n\nThe Bank of England increased financial support for businesses after the Brexit vote\n\nFirst, the gloomy forecasts before the referendum about the possible effects of a vote to leave the European Union were based on Article 50, the mechanism for leaving the EU, being triggered immediately after the vote as David Cameron promised.\n\nThat could have led to a chaotic departure from the EU and certainly would have created greater economic dislocation.\n\nSecond, the Bank of England cut interest rates and increased financial support for businesses and banks, soothing market fears.\n\nThese two points are not enough to explain all of the resilience in the economy, but they go some of the way.\n\nIn my interview with the chancellor, he admitted that he was now \"more optimistic\" about the process of leaving the EU and the single market.\n\nHe said that European leaders were no longer in chastising mood over Brexit, that had now past.\n\nA good deal is on, he said.\n\nA weaker pound is set to push up the price of everyday goods\n\nBut, and of course there has to be a but when considering how an economy will perform -

after an initial fall.\n\nThat is not to say that all \"dynamic\" shocks have such an effect.\n\nThe financial crisis of 2008-09 has negatively affected economic growth for far longer than most expected as the financial services sector contracted rapidly, liquidity disappeared and businesses and consumers paid down debt.\n\nThat is why it is still too early to say definitively whether the robust state of the UK economy today means the forecasts for economic pain made before the Brexit vote can now be safely ignored.", "It's the weekly news quiz -

At first she didn't want to leave, but as they talked, she changed her mind.\n\nIn the weeks that followed, it became clear how extraordinary their life had been.\n\nAll three women seemed extremely frightened, often referring to an all-powerful force called Jackie, which they believed might seek retribution or cause them terrible harm. They were terrified of electricity, which they called “eeee” and seemed anxious that household appliances might blow up or explode.\n\nAs they revealed details of their existence and Rosie gradually became more confident, she decided to change her name to Katy, inspired by the lyrics of Katy Perry's song, Roar, which is about a woman overcoming a difficult relationship and finding her voice.\n\nKaty's own story, and everything she had managed to overcome, proved far stranger than anyone could have imagined.", "Sarah Henderson's daughter was stillborn at 23 weeks and 4 days, but did not qualify for a birth certificate.\n\nShe has launched a petition to allow certificates for babies stillborn before 24 weeks.", "A White House schedule sent to journalists ahead of a press conference with US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Theresa May has misspelled her name.\n\nThe schedule referred to the prime minister three times as \"Teresa May\", leaving out the \"h\" in her first name.\n\nThe mistake happened after the prime minister addressed US politicians in Philadelphia on Thursday.\n\nIn her speech, Mrs May called for closer ties between the UK and US.\n\nThe press schedule, which was sent from the office of the new White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, originally said: \"In the afternoon, the president will partake in a bilateral meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister, Teresa May.\"\n\nPart of the uncorrected White House schedule sent out on Friday.\n\nIt later repeated the mistake, saying: \"The president participates in a working luncheon with Teresa May, Prime Minister of United Kingdom.\"\n\nThe same error was also made once in a guidance note from the office of Vice-President Mike Pence.

What's the secret behind the unstoppable rise of these side-splitting sidekicks?\n\nThe duo's first presenting job was on CBBC's The Ant & Dec show in 1995\n\nTV producer Conor McAnally witnessed the transformation of Ant and Dec from success-hungry teenagers to grown-up lovable comrades. He saw instant potential in the two when they took on their first proper presenting gig on The Ant & Dec Show in 1995 on CBBC.\n\n\"As a producer, you're looking for that spark in a new presenter,\" says McAnally. \"Someone who can reach through the camera and grab an audience. Presenting skills, technical skills, hitting your marks, all that sort of stuff is less important in the initial stages because all that can be trained.\n\n\"But with Ant and Dec there was a symbiosis. They were each other's genuine best friend. They each thought the other was the funniest guy in the world. They wanted to hang out all the time, even off camera. You can't fake that.\n\n\"These guys could dance, they could sing, they could act, and they could talk to the camera like it was their best friend.\"\n\nThey got their first break in 1989 on children's drama Byker Grove. Unusually, Dec is on the left in this picture\n\nIt's Ant and Dec's uncanny knack for talking directly to their audience that lies behind their genius. To many, it feels like watching friends rather than frontmen.\n\nThick Geordie accents have helped to forge this bond with viewers - in a 2010 survey by call centre managers Sitel, Geordie was found to be the UK's friendliest dialect.\n\n\"They seem so natural and so off the cuff, but most people don't know that is because they work very, very hard,\" McAnally continues. \"Their early training as actors meant they really studied their scripts.\n\n\"Beyond that, they really go down in to the essence of the show. What's it about? What's their role in it? What are they bringing to the audience? They're both great students of entertainment television.\"\n\nBehind the seemingly effortless on screen camaraderie lies an unparalleled understanding of TV expertise, believes McAnally.\n\n\"They're both really canny business guys. They understand their value. They understand the business end of television and rights and royalties and the value of the shows they've done. They're sometimes very tough negotiators.\"\n\nAnt and Dec also fronted Pop Idol from 2001-03, which brought back talent shows to prime time TV\n\nWhile Ant and Dec have mastered being front of the camera, they also perfected the art of being behind it.\n\nOver the years the pals struck numerous lucrative TV rights deals through their production companies Gallowgate, which they sold in 2012, and Mitre, launched in 2013.\n\nAs rights holders for many of their productions, in 2015 they pocketed a reported £1m per episode to license Saturday Night Takeaway to US networks.\n\nThe series bombed across the pond - perhaps because its host Neil Patrick Harris couldn't recreate the Geordie duo's mischievous magic - but it didn't stop them netting a cool £15m by the time the series was axed, contributing to their total net worth of around £62m.\n\nAnt & Dec have won the best TV presenter prize at the National Television Awards for 16 consecutive years\n\nIt's this TV prowess which has prevented Ant and Dec from becoming over saturated, despite having touched almost every audience demographic.\n\nToday, their three biggest shows - I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent - each run for short bursts at a time, with gaps in between long enough to leave audiences wanting more.\n\nPerhaps Ant and Dec's biggest appeal is that they seem at home on screen. We've watched them grow up and adapt to the challenges of 21st Century television.\n\n\"As people they became more and more confident and comfortable with being Ant and Dec,\" says McAnally. \"When I started working with them on The Ant & Dec Show, they had been PJ and Duncan.\n\n\"It was a transition period when they went from playing characters on television to playing themselves, but they tackled that head on. Each new show brought new challenges and new opportunities to expand what they could do on screen.\"\n\nNot every challenge resulted in new opportunities of course, but the pair have taken each bump on the road to stardom with grace and humility.\n\nMost notably, their 2008 attempt to bring gameshow Wanna Bet? to US audiences was branded \"unintelligible\" by critics. It was cancelled after six episodes due to issues with viewers being unable to understand the duo's Geordie accents as well as the dull format.\n\nThe pair signed a new three-year deal with ITV in November\n\nAfter The Ant & Dec Show, McAnally went on to produce five more shows with the pair - Ant & Dec Unzipped, Slap Bang, Friends Like These, CD:UK and SMTV. But it wasn't always plain sailing.\n\n\"There were moments where I wondered whether they would stick together. It happens a lot with duos, because working together over extended periods of time inevitably leads to conflict.\n\n\"They both had slightly different ambitions, but they both understood that their friendship was bigger than anything, and that working on their own wasn't as fun. It was a case of one plus one makes four, not two.\"\n\nIn November, the Geordie duo signed a new deal with ITV rumoured to be worth £40m which will see them stay exclusively with the channel for another three years. So there's no chance of them slipping off our TV screens any time soon.\n\nMcAnally concludes: \"There might be better presenters out there in a technical sense, but they absolutely deserve every single award they get, because no one else has ever gotten in to the hearts of the UK population like Ant and Dec.\"\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

But it was not the cheapest on the list - Morocco gave Mr Bush a £2 jar of fish bait.\n\n\"I'm sure he thought: 'What in the world is going on?' said Lyndon Johnson's personal ambassador\n\nLloyd Hand, who was the president's chief of protocol and personal ambassador at the time, told US National Public Radio: \"President Johnson opened the box and put the coat on, and the sleeves came about halfway on his arms.\n\n\"He said 'Lloyd, see if you can catch the prime minister and tell him this is the wrong size.'\n\nMr Hand said he stuffed the coat back in the box and raced down the steps, out of the diplomatic entrance and to the driveway where Mr Wilson was leaving.\n\nAs the prime minister's car rolled down the driveway, Mr Hand rapped on the window.\n\n\"I'm sure he thought: 'What in the world is going on?', and I told him the story and he laughed and said, 'Of course I'll get it and I'll get the right size and get it back to him,'\" he said.\n\nThe Resolute desk was moved into the Oval Office by President John F Kennedy in 1961\n\nConsidered one of the White House's \"treasures\" today, the president's desk in the Oval Office was a present from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B Hayes in 1880.\n\nKnown as the \"Resolute desk\" it was made from the oak timbers of the British ship HMS Resolute and has been used by every president since Mr Hayes, apart from Presidents Johnson, Nixon and Ford, according to the White House Historical Association.\n\nIt was first used in the Oval Office in 1961 at the request of President John F Kennedy.\n\nSir John is not the only recipient of an Akhal-Teke stallion - Russia has presented one to Bahrain\n\nSome of the more unusual gifts showered on our UK leaders in recent years may not have come from the US, but have included Mr Blair's Segway scooter - presented by the King of Jordan, and a bronze fox from the government of Belgium.\n\nOther presents received by Mr Blair included an electric car from the president of Ferrari and three guitars - one of them from rock star Bryan Adams.\n\nBut perhaps the stand-out gift of note is Sir John Major's \"gift horse\".\n\nIn 1993, then-Prime Minister Sir John was presented with a framed photograph of a horse called Maksat, a pure-bred Akhal-Teke stallion, by the President of Turkmenistan.\n\nThe only snag was that the animal was in Turkmenistan and the UK was expected to collect it.\n\nSir John decided he wouldn't have been able to keep the animal, so the Household Cavalry decided to take it, leading to one of the strangest assignments ever taken on by a British diplomat.", "The mayors of New York City and Chicago say they will protect their citizens in the face of President Trump's latest executive order on immigration.", "The claim: Donald Trump would have won the popular vote in last year's US presidential election had it not been for people voting illegally.\n\nReality Check verdict: There is no evidence to support the assertion that at least 2.86 million people voted illegally.\n\nWhite House press secretary Sean Spicer confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump stands by his concerns about illegal voting.\n\nThe disclosure came after the president was reported to have claimed in a closed meeting on Monday that between three and five million unauthorised immigrants had voted for Hillary Clinton.\n\nAt the end of November, Mr Trump tweeted: \"I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.\"\n\nWhile the president won the election via the electoral college, he actually received 2.86 million fewer votes than his rival.\n\nSo his suggestion is that at least 2% of the people who voted did so illegally, assuming that they all voted for Mrs Clinton.\n\nNon-citizens of the United States, including permanent legal residents, do not have the right to vote in presidential elections. Voter registration requires applicants to declare their citizenship status, and they could face criminal punishment if they falsely claim citizenship rights.\n\nIn addition to being registered voters, in two-thirds of states, voters are required to bring identification to the polls in order to be allowed to vote. In all states, first-time voters who register to vote by post must provide valid identification before voting.\n\nDonald Trump and his team have referred to two studies they say show the threat posed by unauthorised voting; both have been challenged.\n\nA 2014 study published in Electoral Studies found evidence that suggested non-citizens do vote and \"can change the outcome of close races\". Donald Trump referred to this study on the campaign trail in Wisconsin on 17 October.\n\nThe research has been roundly criticised by political scientists who said it misinterpreted the data. The team behind the research used data collected by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), which is a national survey taken before and after elections. The CCES published a newsletter that disputed the findings and said \"the likely percent of non-citizen voters in recent US elections is 0\".\n\nDuring the campaign, Mr Trump also referred to a 2012 Pew Center on the States study that found 1.8 million dead Americans were still registered. The deceased, alleged Mr Trump, were still voting. The report, however, does not make any statements about this claim.\n\nAlthough it is not impossible for non-citizens to break voting laws, there is no evidence that millions of immigrants without the right to vote influenced the outcome of the popular vote.\n\nElection officials, including those from the Republican Party, have said there was no evidence of mass electoral fraud and senior Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan have distanced themselves from the claim.\n\nBut President Trump tweeted from his personal account on Wednesday to say that he would be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The White House has proposed a 20% \"border tax\" on Mexico as one of the ways to recoup the costs of building a US-Mexico border wall.\n\nThe wall is a campaign promise that is wildly popular among President Trump's supporters, but news of the tax sparked anxiety among some for the price of avocados and tacos.", "Video Journalist Howard Johnson has travelled to the Malakasa and Oinofyta refugee camps, around an hour outside Athens, to see how people were coping with the wintry weather.", "Last updated on .From the section Cycling\n\nTeam Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has defended his training methods as an investigation into British Cycling is set to be published.\n\nFormer technical director Shane Sutton resigned in April over claims of discrimination, which he denies.\n\nThe findings of a review into an alleged bullying culture at British Cycling are to be published soon.\n\n\"I'm uncompromising in trying to achieve success,\" said Brailsford. \"I don't think I treated people wrongly.\"\n\nHe added: \"I don't think I was vindictive, I don't think I was biased, I don't think I was malicious.\"\n\nAustralian Sutton was found guilty of using sexist language towards cyclist Jess Varnish, but cleared of eight of the nine charges against him.\n\nHowever, the nature of the allegations - and wider claims about the culture at British Cycling - prompted an independent inquiry led by British Rowing chairman Annamarie Phelps.\n\nBrailsford became British Cycling performance director in 2003 and led Team GB to two cycling gold medals at the 2004 Olympics, improving that tally to eight in both 2008 and 2012.\n\n\"We started off as a British team who were second rate, nowhere in the world, with an attitude of gallant losers,\" said the 52-year-old. \"We thought actually 'why can't we be the best in the world?'\n\n\"And I am uncompromising, I know that.

possibly a more politically palatable option.\n\nThe High Pay Centre, for example, supports considering this approach.\n\nTheir research reveals the ratio has increased substantially.\n\n\"The average pay of a FTSE 100 chief executive has rocketed from around £1m a year in the late 1990s -

it was better to allow people to retain the money they earned and spend it as they saw fit, even if it was an awful lot.\n\nLower levels of income tax were the result and economic growth strengthened for a period.\n\nIncome inequality also grew, maybe a price worth paying for the economic riches which, it was argued, were flowing around the country.\n\nFor many, especially since the financial crisis, the pendulum has swung back, away from lower taxes towards a more punitive approach to high incomes.\n\nMr Corbyn was speaking about a belief that some individuals at the top of the income scale now have far too much money to spend compared with the \"just about managing\" classes.\n\nTheresa May has also made it clear that \"fat cat pay\" is on her radar.\n\nThe economics of high pay and whether it should be limited are based on a judgement between two competing interests.\n\nThe first is summed up by the Laffer Curve, popularised by the US economist Arthur Laffer, which argues that if income taxes are too high (or pay limits in any guise too strong) they reduce the incentive to work, which ultimately affects growth, national wealth and government income.\n\nAt its most basic, under the \"Laffer rules\" a 0% income tax rate would collect no revenue.\n\nAnd a 100% income tax rate would also collect no revenue, as no one would bother working.\n\nRonald Reagan slashed the top rates of US income tax\n\nIt has been used from Reagan onwards as the economic underpinning for an argument that lower taxes support growth.\n\nIn the 1980s, US government revenues increased as taxes were cut, although that was as much to do with general strong levels of growth as it was to do with the tax cuts themselves.\n\nThe second, contrary, economic pressure, as countless studies from the World Bank and others have shown, is that countries with high levels of income inequality have lower levels of growth.\n\nTackling that inequality, by whatever method, incentivises people to work more effectively.\n\nThe problem is that lifting lower wages by increasing, for example, productivity levels, could be a more effective way of reducing the gap between low and high pay, although it would take many years of concerted effort to be successful.\n\nSince the 1970s, the notion of a government inspired \"incomes policy\" has been - in the popularity stakes - right up there with multi-millionaire bankers at a meeting of Momentum, the organisation that supports Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership.\n\nBut, ever since the introduction of the minimum wage in the 1990s, the government has made it clear that the amount people are paid is not simply a matter for private businesses and the free market.\n\nMr Corbyn has said he wants to consider a national maximum wage.\n\nMany might nod in agreement.\n\nHow to do it, though, and whether it is economically helpful for growth, is a very different matter.", "US Army interpreter Nayyef Hrebid and Iraqi soldier Btoo Allami fell in love at the height of the Iraq War. It was the start of a dangerous 12-year struggle to live together as a couple.\n\nIn 2003, Nayyef Hrebid found himself in the midst of the Iraq war. The fine art graduate had signed up to be a translator for the US Army after he couldn't find a job.\n\n\"I was based in Ramadi, which was the worst place at that time. We would go out on patrols and people would be killed by IEDs [roadside bombs] and snipers. I was asking myself: 'Why am I here? Why am I doing this?'\"\n\nHowever, a chance encounter with a soldier in the Iraqi army changed everything.\n\n\"One day I was sitting outside and this guy came out of the shower block. I saw his hair was shiny and very black and he was smiling. I just thought, 'Oh my god, this guy is really cute.'\n\n\"I felt like something beautiful had happened in this very bad place.\"\n\nHrebid was secretly gay. He hadn't come out because same-sex relationships are taboo in Iraq and gay people are at risk of violent attacks.\n\n\"In Iraq being gay is seen as very wrong and brings shame on your family. You can even get killed for it so you have to be very careful,\" he says.\n\nHrebid worked as a translator for the US army\n\nWhat Hrebid didn't realise was that the soldier, Btoo Allami, was also attracted to him.\n\n\"I had this strange feeling like I had been looking for him. My feelings grew over time and I knew I wanted to talk to him,\" Allami says.\n\nThey had a chance to get to know each other when they took part in a mission to clear insurgents from the city's general hospital.\n\n\"After patrols we would come back to the safe house and one day Btoo invited me over to eat food and talk with him and the other soldiers,\" Hrebid says.\n\n\"We talked night after night and my feelings for him grew. \"\n\nThree days after the dinner, Hrebid and Allami found an excuse to go outside to talk on their own. They sat in a dark parking lot, full of US Humvees.\n\n\"I felt very close to Nayyef and I felt it was time for me to say something,\" Allami says.\n\n\"So I told him about my feelings and that I loved him. And then he kissed me and left. It was an amazing night. I didn't eat for two days afterwards.\"\n\nBtoo, pictured by a Humvee, was a sergeant in the Iraqi army\n\nThe relationship swiftly developed and they spent an increasing amount of time together at the camp.\n\n\"On missions I'd try to be close to him, when I should have been with the Americans. We would walk together and we took some pictures together,\" Hrebid says.\n\nTheir American and Iraqi colleagues soon noticed.\n\n\"I was telling my American captain about Btoo and he helped bring him over to stay with me at the American camp for a few nights,\" says Hrebid.\n\n\"But some of the other soldiers stopped talking to me after they found out I was gay. One of my translator friends from my home city ended up hitting me with a big stick, which broke my arm.\"\n\nIn 2007, Hrebid and Allami were both deployed to Diwaniyah in southern Iraq. They were lucky to be in the same city but still had to keep their relationship secret. But in 2009, Hrebid applied for asylum in America, as his long involvement with the US Army made it too dangerous to stay.\n\n\"I thought I could go and then it would be easy to apply for Btoo to come afterwards,\" Hrebid says.\n\n\"I knew if we stayed in Iraq we had no future. We were going to end up married to women and hiding our whole lives. But I had watched the TV series Queer As Folk and I realised there were gay communities on the other side of the world.\"\n\nHrebid was granted asylum and settled in Seattle. However, his attempts to get a visa for Allami to join him were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Allami's family had discovered he was gay and started putting pressure on him to marry a woman. With help from Hrebid's friend Michael Failla, a refugee activist, he escaped to Beirut.\n\n\"It wasn't an easy decision to make as I had a 25-year contract with the army,\" Allami says.\n\n\"Plus I was the only one supporting my family. But I knew I had to be with Nayyef.\"\n\nAllami (left) and Hrebid knew they couldn't live openly as a gay couple in Iraq\n\nAllami applied to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for resettlement but his tourist visa ran out before they resolved his case. As an illegal immigrant he had to steer clear of soldiers and checkpoints to avoid being sent back to Iraq.\n\n\"The waiting was hard,\" says Allami.\n\n\"I felt like I was stuck and not moving forward. But then I would speak to Nayyef and that always made me feel stronger.\"\n\nThey talked to each other on Skype every day.\n\n\"He would watch me cook breakfast and I would watch him cook dinner and we would talk as if we lived together,\" Hrebid says.\n\nAlthough homosexuality is legal in Iraq, activists say many gay men, and some women, have died in targeted killings\n\nIn 2012, a BBC World Service investigation found that law enforcement agencies had been involved in systematic persecution of homosexuals\n\nThe Islamic State group killed dozens of gay men between 2015 and 2016 - many were thrown to their deaths from high-rise buildings\n\nAllami was interviewed by the UNHCR several times, but his application was beset with problems and delays.\n\nAgain Michael Failla provided support, flying twice to Beirut to advocate on Allami's behalf.\n\n\"I call him my godfather,\" Allami says.\n\nBut while awaiting the UNHCR decision Allami got an interview at the Canadian Embassy in Lebanon. With Failla's help he was able to fly to Vancouver in September 2013.\n\nThe couple were now living just a tantalising 140 miles (225 km) apart across the border.\n\n\"I came across every weekend to see Btoo and any day I had off work,\" Hrebid says.\n\nThe couple got married in Canada in 2014 on Valentine's Day. Hrebid then applied for a US visa for Allami as his husband. In February 2015 they were invited for an interview with US immigration in Montreal.\n\n\"It was a long flight, six or seven hours, and it was freezing - like 27 below zero,\" says Hrebid.\n\n\"The officer asked us three or four questions and after about 10 minutes she told Btoo: 'You've been approved to live as an immigrant in the United States.'\n\n\"I had to ask her to repeat it again. I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself screaming. We went outside and I was just crying and shaking. I could not believe it was finally happening. We were going to live together in the place where we wanted to live.\"\n\nIn March 2015, Hrebid and Allami travelled from Vancouver to Seattle by bus. They decided to have another wedding ceremony in the US and tied the knot in Washington State.\n\n\"We did not celebrate the first one and we wanted to have a dream wedding,\" says Hrebid.\n\n\"It was the most happy day of my life.\"\n\nToday they live together in an apartment in Seattle. Hrebid, who now works as a home decor department manager is a US citizen. Allami has a green card and is due to become a citizen next year. He works as a building supervisor.\n\nTheir story has been turned in to a documentary called Out of Iraq, which premiered at the LA Film Festival last year.\n\n\"We do not have to hide. I can hold his hand when we walk down the street,\" Hrebid says.\n\nAllami agrees. \"It's so different for us now,\" he says.\n\n\"Before we were so hopeless but now we feel like a family. It's a gay-friendly city. I'm living the dream. I'm free.\"\n\nPictures courtesy of World of Wonder Productions\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "The NHS is facing unprecedented pressures. The future of health and social care in England is a major talking point around Westminster. And at this highly sensitive moment, signs of tension between Downing Street and the leadership of NHS England are emerging.\n\nA story in The Times newspaper suggested that aides to the prime minister were briefing against Simon Stevens. The head of NHS England, it was reported, had been seen by Number 10 as \"insufficiently enthusiastic and responsive\" to the problems facing the service.\n\nIt was denied by both sides but it seems clear that the relationship is not as warm as it might be.\n\nMr Stevens worked closely with George Osborne, the former chancellor, in launching his five-year plan for the NHS and the funding which underpinned it.\n\nHe was often in Downing Street for talks with David Cameron. But things have not been the same since the arrival of Theresa May. It took a while for her to meet Mr Stevens and she does not have the same level of interest in health as her predecessor, predictably perhaps because of the time spent on the Brexit issue.\n\nI understand there is a reasonable working relationship though nothing like what Mr Stevens was used to under the Cameron administration. Mrs May's watering down of the obesity strategy, which NHS leaders had developed over many months, did not help matters.\n\nNow, though, there is a distinct chill. Just a couple of hours after Mrs May defended government policy against fierce Labour attacks in the Commons, the head of NHS England made it very clear he was not impressed with the funding provided by ministers.\n\nThere was nothing in what he told MPs on the Commons Public Accounts Committee which he had not said before. It was the timing and the way he said it.\n\nMr Stevens told the committee that \"like probably every part of the public service we got less than what we asked for\", directly contradicting suggestions by the prime minister and the health secretary that all the funding requested by the service up to 2020 had been promised. He went on to say that spending on the NHS in England per head of population would actually fall in 2018-19.\n\nTensions have been reported between Simon Stevens and Theresa May\n\nEven as Mr Stevens was providing his sobering analysis of prospects for the NHS, Downing Street had a cutting response ready for reporters. At the time the five-year spending deal was announced, according to the prime minister's spokeswoman, the NHS chief executive had said \"our case for the NHS has been heard and actively supported\".\n\nUnder the coalition government's controversial health reforms in 2012, NHS England gained more autonomy. The idea was that health service leaders could operate with less political interference.\n\nBut the problem is that ministers still have to go to the dispatch box in the Commons to defend the performance of the NHS even though they have less control over it. The latest developments have underlined that for Mrs May.\n\nIt suits Mr Stevens to let it be known that he did not get the money he wanted for the NHS. It suits Downing Street to suggest that NHS England has changed its tune over a financial settlement which it initially welcomed.\n\nThis might not matter much in normal times but right now divisions at the top will do nothing to help the NHS cope with its harshest ever winter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester United manager Jose Mourinho has told fans Sunday's Premier League match against fierce rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford will \"not be a visit to the theatre\", and instead invited them to \"come and play with us\".\n\nUnited beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Tuesday thanks to second-half goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini.\n\nHowever, Mourinho said everyone must improve against Liverpool.\n\n\"It's a special match for us,\" he said.\n\n\"If we play enthusiastic football the fans come to the pitch and play with us.

What should have been idyllic years were overshadowed by World War One.\n\n\"I remember the German bombers flying over the farm we lived in to bomb Loughborough,\" she reminisced. \"And the next day we got Polly the pony and took the trap into Loughborough to see the damage they had done. \"\n\nShe had set her heart on a writing career early on, much to the exasperation of her mother.\n\nBritish authorities did not believe the German army had entered Poland\n\n\"She didn't believe anything journalists wrote and thought they were only fit for the tradesmen's entrance.\"\n\nAfter school she attended a domestic science college in Leicester, which instilled in her a lifelong hatred of housework.\n\nMore interesting to her by far were the battlefield tours that her father arranged to sites as diverse as Naseby, Poitiers and Agincourt.\n\nEschewing the prospect of life as a country squire's wife, Hollingworth became a secretary at the League of Nations Union before studying at London University's School of Slavonic Studies and the University of Zagreb.\n\nIn 1936 she married a fellow League of Nations worker, Vandeleur Robinson, but soon found herself in Warsaw, distributing aid to refugees who had fled from the Sudetenland, the Czech territory occupied by the Nazis in 1938.\n\nShe had written the occasional article for the New Statesman and, on a brief visit to London in August 1939, she was signed up by the editor of the Daily Telegraph, Arthur Wilson, who was impressed by her experience in Poland.\n\nIn this period of heightened tension, the border between Poland and Germany was sealed to all but diplomatic vehicles. After borrowing a car from the British consul in Katowice and proudly displaying the union jack, she drove through the exclusion zone and into Germany.\n\nShe had a deep knowledge of military strategy\n\nWhile driving back to Poland, having bought wine, torches and as much film as possible, she passed through a valley in which huge hessian screens had been erected.\n\nAs the wind blew one of the screens back, it revealed thousands of troops, together with tanks and artillery, all facing the Polish border.\n\nHer report featured on the front page of the Daily Telegraph on 29 August, 1939. Less than a week after becoming a full-time journalist, she had scooped one of the biggest stories of the 20th Century.\n\nThree days later, Hollingworth saw the German tanks rolling into Poland. But when she phoned the secretary at the British Embassy in Warsaw, he told her it could not be true as negotiations between Britain and Germany were still continuing.\n\n\"So I hung the telephone receiver out of the window,\" Hollingworth later recalled, \"So he could listen to the Germans invading.\"\n\nWorking on her own, often behind enemy lines, with nothing more than a toothbrush and a typewriter, she witnessed the collapse of Poland before moving to Bucharest, where she realised that her marriage was over.\n\n\"I thought that for me - and in a different kind of way for him - my career was more important than trying to rush back home,\" she reflected later.\n\nHer story about the spy Kim Philby was blocked by The Guardian\n\nHollingworth spent a busy war in Turkey, Greece and Cairo. When Montgomery - who could not stomach the idea of a woman reporting from the front - captured Tripoli in 1943, he ordered her to return to Cairo.\n\nShe decided to attach herself to Eisenhower's forces, then in Algiers.\n\nThough diminutive and bespectacled, Hollingworth was as tough as nails. She learned how to fly and made a number of parachute jumps.\n\nDuring the latter part of the war, she reported from Palestine, Iraq and Persia, where she interviewed the young Shah.\n\nAfter the war, Hollingworth, by now working for the Observer and the Economist, married Geoffrey Hoare, the Times's Middle East correspondent.\n\nThe couple were just 300 yards from Jerusalem's King David Hotel when it was bombed in 1946, killing 91 people.\n\nThe attack left her with a hatred of the man behind the attack, the Irgun leader Menachem Begin, who eventually became prime minister of Israel and won the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\n\"I would not shake a hand with so much blood on it,\" she explained.\n\nShe celebrated her 100th birthday in her adopted home of Hong Kong\n\nIn 1963 Hollingworth was working for the Guardian in Beirut when Kim Philby, a correspondent for the Observer, disappeared.\n\nShe was convinced that he was the fabled \"third man\" in a British spy ring that already included Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean.\n\nAfter some detective work, she discovered that Philby had left on a Soviet ship bound for Odessa and filed copy to that effect with the Guardian.\n\nBut this second huge scoop was spiked by the paper's editor, Alastair Hetherington, who feared a libel suit.\n\nThree months later, the Guardian ran the story, tucked away on an inside page. The following day the Daily Express splashed it on the front page, prompting the government to admit that Philby had, indeed, defected to the Soviet Union.\n\nHollingworth reported on the Algerian crisis and the Vietnam War. She was one of the first journalists to predict that American military muscle would not prevail and that a stalemate was inevitable.\n\nShe made a special effort to speak to Vietnamese civilians, away from the watching eyes of the US PR people, to ensure she accurately captured the views of those who were suffering the most.\n\nHoare died in 1966, and Hollingworth, who had become the Telegraph's

the head of world athletics, will be recalled by the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, after MPs heard evidence that \"undermined\" his comments to them in December 2015.\n\nCoe told the committee he was unaware of specific cases of corruption before they became public in December 2014.\n\nBut former athlete Dave Bedford said he contacted Coe about Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova in August that year.\n\nBedford added he spoke to Coe about a related matter on 21 November 2014.\n\nAllegations of state-sponsored doping by Russian athletes, and cover-ups involving officials at the sport's world governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), were revealed in a documentary by German broadcaster ARD on 3 December 2014.\n\nThat is when Coe, who was elected IAAF president in August 2015, says he became aware of specific allegations.\n\nBedford, 67, said he was \"very surprised and quite disappointed\" to find the 60-year-old had not opened emails sent in August 2014, which provided details of alleged extortion from marathon runner Shobukhova, who was given a doping ban in 2014.\n\nCoe, in his evidence to the committee, said he forwarded Bedford's emails to the IAAF's then-recently formed ethics board, without reading them or opening the attachments.\n\nDamian Collins, chair of the select committee, said he wanted Coe to come back before the committee because Bedford's evidence \"raised clear and important questions\" about Coe's knowledge of the allegations, while Conservative MP Nigel Huddleston said the answers \"undermined\" the former Olympic champion's version of events.\n\nIn response, the IAAF said former London Marathon race director Bedford \"offered nothing new\" to the inquiry, and Coe has \"no further information he can provide\".\n\nCollins then issued a further statement, saying Bedford's evidence \"casts some doubt\" on when Coe learned of specific allegations.\n\nHe added: \"There are also questions about why Lord Coe didn't do more to make himself aware of the issues that were contained in the allegations that Bedford sent him.\"\n\nHowever, Coe may not have to attend a further committee hearing. While select committees have the power to compel people to attend hearings and give evidence, MPs and members of the House of Lords - such as Lord Coe - are exempt.\n\nBedford agreed with the committee it was \"strange\" Coe had not opened his email attachments, and said he had no doubt the double Olympic champion knew about the Shobukhova case when they met in November 2014.\n\nHowever the former 10,000m world record holder also defended Coe, describing him \"as someone within the IAAF who I could trust\".\n\nWhen asked to explain why Coe did not follow up on the email, Bedford suggested he may have decided the \"best way he could help the sport was to make sure he got elected as president\", as otherwise there was \"no future\" for athletics.\n\n\"In my opinion, looking at all the other alternatives, Seb Coe is the only chance athletics has to get over this difficult period,\" added Bedford.\n• December 2011: Bedford, then chairman of the IAAF road running committee, says he was asked by colleague Sean Wallace-Jones whether Liliya Shobukhova had been paid the $500,000 for winning the 2010-2011 World Marathon Majors, warning: \"If you haven't, I wouldn't.\" The prize money had already been paid.\n• December 2012: Shobukhova competes at the 2012 London Olympics and the Chicago Marathon before being signed by Bedford to run the 2013 London Marathon. Bedford then receives a call from Shobukhova's agent, Andrey Baranov, to say she is unable to compete because she is pregnant.\n• February 2014: In a bar in Tokyo, Baranov tells Wallace-Jones he has seen evidence of extortion, with Shobukhova paying large sums of money to senior Russian athletics officials.\n• March 2014: At the IAAF Copenhagen Half Marathon, Bedford meets Baranov and Wallace-Jones, and Baranov decides to make a formal complaint.\n• April 2014: Baranov and Wallace-Jones sign a sworn deposition, which they send to the IAAF's new ethics board chairman, Michael Beloff, in the same month Shobukhova is given a two-year ban.\n• 8 August 2014: After Coe tells Bedford during a phone call he has not heard about the Shobukhova case being dealt with by the IAAF ethics board, Bedford sends him an email with attachments relating to the issue. Coe says he forwarded the email on to the ethics commission without reading the attachments.\n• 14 August 2014: Bedford texts Coe to ask if he has seen the previous email, but does not receive a reply.\n• 24 September 2014: Bedford learns that now-banned ex-IAAF anti-doping director Gabriel Dolle is to leave the governing body, prompting him to text Coe: \"I hear Dolle is leaving at the end of the week - pushed or walked? I hope this is not the start of a cover-up.\" He does not receive a reply.\n• 21 November 2014: At the British Athletics Writers' Lunch in London, Bedford tries to get Coe to meet Baranov and Shobukhova's lawyer Mike Morgan.

Other firms, like Getaround, which has a presence in 10 US cities, focus more on hourly rentals.\n\nMr Haddad, who describes himself as a car enthusiast, says Turo gives people the opportunity to try out interesting cars, from cute Minis to rugged off-roaders.\n\n\"It would be really fun to go out in a Jeep Wrangler if you're going up a mountain, but it doesn't really justify owning one,\" he says.\n\nOne practical challenge of P2P rental is getting the key to the customer if the car's owner isn't around.\n\nRichard Laughton, chief executive of easyCar Club, which launched in 2014, says: \"We provide owners with lockboxes they can attach somewhere outside their house, and send a one-use pin to the renter to take the key out, and put it back at the end.\"\n\nNext year easyCar Club will try out unlocking cars by mobile app, he says.\n\nEasyCar Club owners and renters are vetted by the company\n\nAnother challenge is overcoming the trust issue. After all, would you rent out your precious motor to a total stranger?\n\n\"I think one thing that will continually hold back the P2P model is the reluctance of people to put an asset on a shared platform,\" says Adam Stocker, a researcher at Berkeley University Transportation Sustainability Research Center in California.\n\n\"The fear that their vehicle gets trashed, misused, or breaks faster - but this is just human nature.\"\n\nOne early US car-sharing start-up, HiGear, shut down in 2012 following the theft of several members' cars.\n\nSo most P2P companies engage in detailed vetting of new members, and incorporate feedback and user ratings. Turo says it has developed machine learning tools to help with the screening process.\n\nEasyCar believes telematics boxes could help track how renters have used - or abused - the car and act as a sort of onboard policeman.\n\nEasyCar Club boss Richard Laughton does not own a car\n\nAnd what if the renter crashes or damages your car?\n\n\"Insurance has been a really big challenge,\" admits Jacob Nielsen, co-founder of Rentecarlo, a P2P car-sharing firm founded by \"three guys from Denmark\" two-and-a-half years ago.\n\nAdmiral Insurance has worked with several P2P start-ups to develop a suitable product, says Mr Nielsen. The insurer even allows renters to earn up to five years' no-claims bonus while driving someone else's car, providing they drive more than 30 days in a year, he says.\n\nSuch innovations and technological improvements have enabled easyCar to \"double bookings year-on-year\", says Mr Laughton.\n\nOther P2P car-sharing firms seem to be enjoying similar rates of growth, as younger people in particular embrace the concept of \"mobility as a service\" and eschew ownership.\n\nSo what does this mean for car manufacturers' traditional business models?\n\n\"I would say 2016 definitely was the year the major auto manufacturers woke up to the shared mobility space,\" says Mr Stocker.\n\nIn September, Ford bought Chariot, a San Francisco-based crowd-sourced shuttle service, and is even investing in a bike-sharing start-up called Motivate.\n\nManufacturers clearly understand that personal car ownership is becoming old hat.\n\nGeneral Motors tried to buy Uber rival Lyft this summer, but was rebuffed, despite both companies joining forces to develop driverless taxis.\n\nCar sharing may worry public authorities less than house sharing.\n\nProperty-sharing giant Airbnb has recently come under fire from city authorities - in Amsterdam, for instance - over concerns that it increases city centre congestion and enables guests to avoid paying hotel tax.\n\nBut car-sharing companies like Turo and others could help decrease the overall number of cars on the road to start with as fewer people see the need to own their own vehicle.\n\nBut once driverless cars come in, authorities might worry they pose threat to public transport systems, some analysts believe.\n\n\"It would be very inexpensive to run electric driverless Uber taxis that go around cities and provide transport in a fluid way,\" says Philippe Houchois, an automotive sector analyst at equity research company Jefferies.\n\n\"If you get to a point where your cost-per-mile is less than £1,\" says Mr Houchois, \"public transport would seem less attractive.\"\n\nParadoxically, we could then see a rise in car numbers on our roads, not a reduction.", "We often speak to dogs and babies in a similar way\n\nScientists have decoded \"dog-directed speech\" for the first time, and they say puppies respond to it.\n\nPuppies reacted positively and wanted to play when researchers in France played them a tape of phrases like, \"Who's a good boy?''\n\nHowever, the international team of researchers found that adult dogs ignored this kind of speech.\n\nWhen we talk to dogs, we often speak slowly in a high-pitched voice, similar to the way we talk to young babies.\n\nThe researchers think this way of talking may be our natural way of trying to interact with non-speaking listeners.\n\nProf Nicolas Mathevon of the University of Lyon/Saint-Etienne in France said pet-directed speech is similar to the way we talk to young infants, which is known to engage their attention and promote language learning.\n\n\"We found that puppies are highly reactive to dog-directed speech, in the absence of any other cues, like visual cues,\" Prof Mathevon told BBC News.\n\n\"Conversely we found that with adult dogs, they do not react differentially between dog-directed speech and normal speech.\"\n\nThe scientists recorded people saying the sentence: \"Hi! Hello cutie! Who's a good boy? Come here! Good boy! Yes! Come here sweetie pie! What a Good boy!\" as if they were speaking to a pet.\n\nThis was played back through a loudspeaker to dogs of all ages and compared with normal speech.\n\nThe researchers also found that human speakers use dog-directed speech with dogs of all ages even though it is only useful in puppies.\n\nWe are primed to respond to baby faces\n\n\"Maybe this register of speech is used to engage interaction with a non-speaking [animal] rather than just a juvenile listener,\" said Prof Mathevon.\n\nDogs have lived close to humans for thousands of years, which is reflected in mutual understanding and empathy.\n\n\"Dogs have been selected by humans for centuries to interact with us,\" he added. \"Maybe we have selected puppies that want to play or engage in interaction with us.\n\n\"And maybe older dogs do not react that way because they are just more choosy and they want only to react with a familiar person.\"\n\nThe experiment adds a new dimension to the idea that we talk differently to puppies because we are swayed by their cute ''baby-like'' appearance.\n\nThis theory - known as the baby schema - suggests we respond to the faces of baby animals in a similar way to those of human babies because we want to take care of them.\n\n\"One of the hypotheses was that we humans use this dog-directed speech because we are sensitive to the baby cues that come from the face of a small baby as we are sensitive to the faces of our babies,\" said Prof Mathevon.\n\n\"But actually our study demonstrates that we use pet-directed speech or infant-directed speech not only because of that but maybe we use this kind of speech pattern when we want to engage and interact with a non-speaking listener.\n\n\"Maybe this speaking strategy is used in any context when we feel that the listener may not fully master the language or has difficulty to understand us.\"\n\nDr David Reby, a psychologist at the University of Sussex, said the research could lead to better ways for humans to communicate with animals.\n\n\"There could be a practical use if we identify in the long term ways to speak to dogs that help and support their acquisition of new commands.\"\n\nThe research is published in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B- Biological Sciences.\n• None Home - Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B- Biological Sciences The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "One of the jewels stolen from Kim Kardashian West was a 20-carat diamond engagement ring worth an estimated €4m\n\nSeasoned veterans of crime, some in their 60s and 70s, are among the suspects arrested for theft of €9m (£8m; $9.5m) of jewellery from Kim Kardashian West in Paris, according to French police. They were anxious for a last, lucrative haul, they believe.\n\nOne of those detained in Monday's round-up was Pierre B, a 72-year-old of Algerian descent picked up on the Cote d'Azur.\n\nThe suspects held in the Paris region included three men in their sixties and a couple aged 70, French reports say.\n\nOne of the men, aged 60 and detained in the eastern suburb of Vincennes, is described by French media as the suspected mastermind of the hotel robbery.\n\nThree of the 17 initially detained have since been released - including Kardashian West's chauffeur during Paris Fashion Week, Michael Madar, 40.\n\nBut his brother, Gary Madar, is said to be still in custody.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Some have long police records for armed robbery and counterfeiting. Other, younger members are suspected by police to have been involved in arranging for the jewels to be sold on.\n\nAccording to one account, in L'Express magazine (in French), it is believed it was the \"veterans\" who carried out the actual robbery. Five men broke into the residence, holding a gun to Kardashian West's head before binding and gagging her in the bathroom.\n\nRead more on the Paris robbery\n\nPolice are investigating whether the gang had inside information before the raid at an exclusive Paris hotel\n\nThe two witnesses to the robbery - Kardashian West herself as well the night-watchman - both told police that their aggressors were men \"of a certain age\", according to L'Express. CCTV footage on the street outside also provided crucial evidence.\n\n\"We would expect the people who carried out a job like this to be criminals with a certain degree of experience. They would need the connections to be able to dispose of the jewels once they had got their hands on them,\" one police source told the BBC.\n\nThe raids produced no trace of the stolen jewels, which include a diamond ring worth €4m, leading police to suspect they have already been broken up and sold. Some €300,000 in cash was found at different locations, as well as hand-guns and a pump-action shotgun.\n\nKim Kardashian West returned to New York to be reunited with her husband hours after the robbery\n\nPolice confirmed that the gang had been under surveillance for several weeks, after DNA traces left at the scene provided a match with a known former criminal. There were two traces: one on the plastic strap used to bind Kardashian's wrists, the other on a necklace dropped by one of the robbers on the pavement.\n\nThroughout the inquiry there have been suspicions about whether the robbery was an insider job.\n\nPolice were intrigued at how the gang were captured on CCTV at the scene at 2.15am, minutes before Kardashian West arrived from a restaurant.\n\nThey believe the gang may have been tipped off that she was on her way, unaccompanied by her bodyguard, who that night was with her sister at a club.", "I wrote on this blog in December that titles such as the Telegraph or Express might be for sale in 2017.\n\nOvernight, it has been revealed that Trinity Mirror PLC has been in discussion with Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell about taking a minority interest in a new company which would - probably but not certainly - include the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star, Daily Star Sunday and their websites.\n\nTrinity's interest in the Express titles goes back years. But there is a much bigger story going on here.\n\nThe man behind a deal to potentially take these titles off Richard Desmond is none other than David Montgomery, the former editor of the News of the World and Today who went on to become a major investor in media.\n\nOver recent months, Montgomery has been trying to raise the necessary finances, speaking to several banks, as well as equity partners.\n\nMontgomery is being advised by Lloyds, Bank of Canada, and the familiar figure of Jonnie Goodwin of Lepe Partners.\n\nBefore Christmas, he had raised £125m. This comprises £60m of debt finance, £10m from Montgomery, £30m from other equity backers - and £25m from Trinity Mirror.\n\nMark Kleinman of Sky News has reported that the investors Montgomery is speaking to include Towebrook Capital Partners. I have not been able to verify this yet myself.\n\nRichard Desmond, who bought the Express titles in 2000, spoke to me about his intentions.\n\nIn May last year, Express Newspapers, which is part of Northern & Shell, announced it had tripled pre-tax profits in 2015 to £30.5m.\n\nDesmond told me that with OK! Magazine doing well, and his printworks in Luton owning assets now worth \"around £100m\", Express Newspapers was making around £50m.\n\nI asked Desmond if he was intent on selling to Montgomery and had received an offer.\n\n\"There's a lot of talk, nothing has happened. I haven't had an offer.\" Asked specifically if he wished to sell Express Newspapers, Desmond said: \"Why would I? You tell me, why would I?\"\n\nBut he swiftly added that he was \"interested in everything\".\n\nAsked if he would demand a five-times multiple of profits for Express Newspapers, he said: \"Why wouldn't I?\"\n\nDesmond hasn't seen Montgomery since his Christmas party. \"My people have been speaking loads to his management.\"\n\nHis preference, as things stand, is to consolidate back-office staff rather than sell Express Newspapers - though he would, of course, entertain the latter option if he was offered a suitable price.\n\n\"If we can bring in a minority partner to share back-office staff, that could save tens of millions,\" he added.\n\nHe specifically referred to \"IT, ad sales\" in reference to these back-office operations.\n\nUsing what were clearly ballpark figures on a deal that hasn't yet transpired, about an entity not yet clearly defined, Desmond told me the savings for Trinity Mirror of a combined company could be around £30m, and for Desmond they could be around £60m.\n\n\"If Trinity then owned 20% of the new company, which should make £80m, that's £16m.\"\n\nI should urge caution about these figures, because Desmond himself did: when I asked what exactly would make £80m, he was open that this was a generalisation about a possible future company.\n\nDesmond is a brilliant deal-maker who sold Channel 5 to Viacom for £463m in 2014, having bought it in 2010 for just £103.5m.\n\nBy the way, Viacom has had an excellent two years with Channel 5, with ratings up, in the years since that sale.\n\nHe didn't give me the impression he is keen to get out of media in a hurry.\n\nI asked David Montgomery if the above figures were accurate and indeed whether he was being advised by those I mention above.\n\nAt the time of writing he hadn't responded to my queries.\n\nI asked a Trinity Mirror PLC spokesman whether the £25m figure was accurate.\n\nI have spoken to multiple sources across the industry about the likelihood of a deal going through between Montgomery and Desmond. As things stand, it is very uncertain.\n\nDesmond won't sell for a knockdown price: after all, he has stable profits.\n\nAnd any consolidation of back-office operations depends on a huge range of specifics that are yet to be hammered out.\n\nBut as I have repeatedly said on this blog, there is a coming consolidation in the media sector, and indeed in over-supplied sub-sectors such as that of national newspapers in Britain.\n\nBy over-supplied I simply mean we have plenty for an island with our population.\n\nExpect more on this soon.

Mata forcing a good save out of goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic, who also tipped over Paul Pogba's long-range effort.\n\nThe visitors had chances of their own against a side who had won their eight previous games in all competitions, Robert Snodgrass causing problems from set-pieces.\n\nHowever, Mata got the breakthrough just before the hour mark when he tapped in from Henrikh Mkhitaryan's knockdown.\n\nSubstitute Fellaini scored a second late on, heading in from Matteo Darmian's cross to put United in command heading into the second leg on 26 January.\n\nThe League Cup represents a genuine opportunity for Mourinho to claim a major trophy to add to the Community Shield collected last summer.\n\nHe has named strong sides throughout the competition and it was no different against Hull as several first-team regulars, including Wayne Rooney, Pogba and David de Gea, started.\n\nWith Hull bottom of the Premier League and struggling badly with injuries - they could only name six substitutes - a first Tigers victory in 65 years at Old Trafford seemed unlikely.\n\nThey were given odds of 20-1 to win before kick-off and their prospects looked even more bleak when midfielder Markus Henriksen went off injured inside 20 minutes.\n\nBut since new Portuguese boss Marco Silva - described by some as the new Mourinho - took charge last week the Tigers have looked much improved.

It's also unfair. Just a little, anyway.\n\nToday, it became abundantly clear that Labour's leader has not changed his mind on the value, as he sees it, of free movement of people between European states. It's become equally clear - behind the scenes - that a great many colleagues wish he would.\n\nAnd not just his many ideological and political opponents. Some of Mr Corbyn's close and loyal supporters think so too.\n\nAs evidence accumulates of Labour's slide in the opinion polls (and yes, I know we don't swallow polling numbers without chewing anymore, but consistent double-digit Tory leads can't be discounted), so concern has grown about a liberal approach to EU migration widely judged to be costing Labour dearly on countless doorsteps.\n\nJohn Trickett, Labour's national campaign co-ordinator and a strong Corbyn ally, is said to be concerned. How could he not be?\n\nThose hoping, praying, for a shift are said to include some within Mr Corbyn's inner circle. It's also suggested that his staunchest, arguably most powerful ally, Unite trade union leader Len McCluskey, might welcome a line closer to the instincts of many voters.\n\n\"Voters\", in this context, encompasses disillusioned Labour supporters, those who backed Brexit, and perhaps members of Unite who may not share their general secretary's enthusiasm for Mr Corbyn or, for that matter, Labour under any leader at all.\n\nThe overnight briefing promised a declaration that Mr Corbyn was not \"wedded\" to free movement of people in the EU \"on principle\". Some headlines promised a significant shift, even a \"U-turn\".\n\nYet this morning, as the party leader ran through a series of broadcast media interviews, and later when he delivered the much-trailed speech setting out his thinking on Brexit, it seemed somewhere along the line, Mr Corbyn may have missed a meeting.\n\n\"He messed it up,\" a senior shadow cabinet member told me, only he used a much stronger word than \"messed\".\n\nThe pressure will continue. \"Jeremy moved on NATO, eventually, and we ended up with a no-score draw on nuclear weapons,\" added the shadow minister. \"Jeremy can be budged. Sometimes. But it takes a hell of an effort and a lot of time.\"\n\nHe was right, of course. Mr Corbyn now accepts, however unenthusiastically, that NATO is a defence alliance Britain must back and not merely a hangover from the cold war.\n\nHe has put aside his dream of Labour returning to a policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament. He is still adamant that he would never order a nuclear strike, a flat contradiction to the principal of nuclear deterrence which Labour has yet to confront.\n\nHe has moved, nonetheless. His position, if not his thinking, has changed.\n\nNow he talks of free movement as a possible component of an EU divorce settlement still to be negotiated. That's a long way from the thinking of shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, who expressed sympathy, when I interviewed him on my Sunday morning 5 live programme, Pienaar's Politics, for the idea of limiting access to the UK jobs market to EU migrants who have a job guaranteed.\n\nBut it opened at least the possibility of further movement in future. Only a possibility, mind. The Labour leader is stubborn. Or a man of deep conviction. Take your choice.\n\nThe enthusiasts who elected and continue to sustain Mr Corbyn continue to be zealous and loyal. Supporters of free movement of people as a useful, as well as necessary element of the EU single market may welcome Mr Corbyn's reluctance to forsake them.\n\nBut a lot of Labour MPs have moved from bitter resentment to weary fatalism, hoping that, somehow, the mood among party members changes sufficiently to produce a change. Preferably a change of leader.\n\nThese include the senior Labour MP who told me privately today that his constituency - a northern stronghold with a majority of around 15,000 - now felt like a marginal seat, vulnerable to the overtures of UKIP.\n\nSome allies of Mr Corbyn had grown resentful that the mainstream media appeared to have lost interest in reporting the doings of Labour, or analysing the party's policy development.\n\nNo-one can make the same complaint today. I'm not sure the party's position is any happier as a result.", "The murders were discovered after children went missing from Nithari\n\nTen years ago, India was gripped by serial murders in Noida, a wealthy suburb of the capital Delhi, where at least 19 children and women were raped and killed.\n\nBusinessman Moninder Singh Pandher, in whose house the murders took place, and his manservant, Surinder Koli, were arrested for the crimes. Koli has since been convicted and sentenced to death in some of the cases, while the trial continues in the others. The businessman has been freed on bail.\n\nAn explosive new documentary, The Karma Killings, which globally released on Tuesday on Netflix and other digital platforms, now argues that Mr Pandher may not be guilty.\n\nBusinessman Moninder Singh Pandher has always denied the allegations against him\n\nKoli admitted to horrific crimes but later retracted his confession, saying he had been coerced\n\nIndian-American filmmaker Ram Devineni, who spent more than three years investigating the Nithari crimes, was visiting relatives in India in December 2006 as the murders played out on news TV channels.\n\n\"I was reading the stories in the papers and magazines and watching it on TV, thinking this is too unbelievable. Every day, new revelations were being reported and each one stranger than the next,\" he told the BBC on the phone from New York.\n\nMany children had gone missing from the nearby slums of Nithari over the past two years and their parents alleged that police had ignored their complaints.\n\nAfter the first corpses were discovered, it was reported that several children from the slums had been lured to their deaths by Koli, who had invited them into the house, offering them sweets and chocolates. Angry mobs then attacked the police and overran the crime scene.\n\nMoninder Singh Pandher was known for his fondness for alcohol and call girls\n\nIn his confession, Koli admitted to killing a call girl for refusing to have sex with him\n\nIn the initial days after his arrest, Koli admitted to his interrogators that he had raped children as young as three, had sex with the corpses of his victims and once cooked and tried to eat human organs in the belief that cannibalism cured impotency; although during the trial he retracted his confession, saying he had been tortured and coerced into making his statement.\n\nMr Pandher denied all the charges against him from day one, but was vilified and portrayed as a monster by the press.\n\n\"With his beard and moustache, he looked like the perfect Bollywood villain. Then there were stories of his drinking, call girls coming to his house, his depression,\" says Devineni, adding that there was a sort of \"an inverse racism\" at play here. \"Mr Pandher was a rich man, he was this privileged person and everyone wanted to bring him down.\"\n\nAfter body parts and children's clothing were fished out of a sewer next to his house, the crime scene was dubbed India's \"house of horrors\".\n\nThe scene of the crimes in the Delhi suburb\n\nBut the parents of the victims believe that both Pandher and Koli are guilty\n\nThe two accused \"looked\" and fitted the \"face of evil\" and Devineni started off with the presumption that they were both guilty, but was persuaded by the evidence to change his mind.\n\nInspired by Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, he spent months in Nithari, visiting the crime scene and the courts, meeting the police, the lawyers, families of the victims and the accused, and the accused themselves, painstakingly recreating their stories and the crimes.\n\n\"I first met Koli and Pandher in October 2012 in the court in Ghaziabad where they were being tried and I was surprised by how easy the access was,\" Devineni says.\n\nClothes and body parts were fished out from a drain adjoining Moninder Singh Pandher's house\n\nFilmmaker Ram Devineni says it took him weeks to persuade the mother of a victim to walk past the crime scene\n\nThe accused were brought to court every day and one day, the filmmaker walked up to Mr Pandher's lawyer and asked if he could talk to his client.\n\n\"While I was standing there talking to Pandher, Koli also joined in the conversation. We just stood there, talking about murders. It was surreal.\"\n\nAfter that, he returned to the court daily, talking to the men accused of India's most horrific crimes in recent years, getting to know them and, in the process, getting close to them.\n\nHe describes his first encounter with Koli as \"eerie and unsettling\".\n\n\"He never denied committing any of the crimes, he always tried to put the blame on someone else. A doctor in their neighbourhood was involved in an organ scam so Koli suggested that he may have been behind the killings.\"\n\nAfter his arrest, Moninder Singh Pandher spent seven years in jail\n\nHe has now been freed on bail\n\nKoli was waiting to be executed and sought his help. \"Our conversations were very laid back and casual. He talked a lot about his family, his wife and two children.\"\n\nDevineni describes Koli as \"really shrewd and cunning, one of the smartest people I've ever met\".\n\n\"He's had little education, knows no English, but he does his own research. On his own, he has learnt India's complex legal system and how to stay on top of it.\"\n\nHis impression of Mr Pandher, on the other hand, was that of a \"quiet and kind grandfather-type\" of man. \"He denied his involvement in the crimes and asked me to look at the evidence instead.\"\n\nIn his initial confessional statement, Koli did not say that Mr Pandher was a participant in the crimes, but in 2007, he changed his tack to implicate him. It is not known why he did that.\n\nDevineni believes that Moninder Singh Pandher may be innocent\n\nMany have questioned how Mr Pandher could not know what was going on in his own house.\n\nDevineni says \"Pandher had deep love and affection for Koli who covered for him in front of his wife when he saw call girls. Pandher trusted him and left the running of the house to him.\n\n\"I'm convinced that Koli committed all the murders on his own. Pandher is an innocent man.\"\n\nThe victims' families, however, are unlikely to find his argument convincing. Over the years, they have insisted that justice would only be done when Mr Pandher is hanged. And they are unlikely to change their minds.\n\n\"None of them really care about Koli,\" says Devineni. \"Their whole focus is on Pandher. Koli is poor, like them. He's one of them. Pandher is rich and if he's let off, it's the big guy getting away with murder.\"", "A police officer had to be freed from handcuffs by firefighters when a training exercise in Aberdeen went wrong.\n\nIt happened during officer safety training on Saturday.\n\nPolice Scotland said there appeared to have been a \"malfunction\" with a set of handcuffs and fire service personnel were called in.\n\nThe Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said boltcutters were used to free the officer.\n\nA Police Scotland spokesperson said: \"Officer safety training is a vital skill for police officers and involves training with handcuffs and other equipment.\n\n\"On this occasion there appears to have been a malfunction with a set of handcuffs which our colleagues at the fire service were fortunately able to assist with.\n\n\"This type of situation is thankfully rare but as has been demonstrated procedures are in place to deal with such an occurrence.\"\n\nA Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: \"On Saturday, firefighters attended at Mounthooly Way where they used boltcutters to free a police officer from a set of handcuffs that had malfunctioned.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Witold Waszczykowski (left) met UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

We were in a comfortable situation to take a decision based on sporting merit.\"\n\nAn initial stage of 16 groups of three teams will precede a knockout stage for the remaining 32 with the change coming in for the 2026 tournament.\n\nAccording to Fifa research, revenue is predicted to increase to £5.29bn for a 48-team tournament, giving a potential profit rise of £521m.\n\n\"This is a historic decision which marks the entrance of the World Cup into the 21st Century,\" added Infantino.\n\nThe Football Association has urged Fifa to consider the needs of fans, players, teams and leagues and asked for more information on how the tournament would work, with Infantino admitting much of the detail has yet to be worked out.\n\nThe European Club Association (ECA), which represents the interests of clubs at European level, reiterated it was against expansion. It said Fifa had made a political rather than a sporting decision.\n\nNew Fifa Now says the governing body needs to reform, and that the change would \"dilute the competitiveness of the tournament\".\n\nInfantino, however, maintains the expansion will increase the quality of the teams in the competition.\n\n\"Costa Rica eliminated England and Italy in the last World Cup, a good solid team and there are many other teams who could make it to the World Cup,\" he said.\n\n\"I believe that the actual quality could rise, because many more countries will have the chance to qualify so they will invest in their elite football as well as grassroots.\"\n\nResponding to criticism from European clubs, Infantino added: \"The game has changed.

jamology - devoted to their study.\n\n\"We humans are terrible drivers, and we cannot keep our speed constant,\" Prof Cassandras says.\n\nIn Lyon, you can take a ride on a driverless bus\n\nThat problem could be eliminated with the advent of automated cars - and with most of the big manufacturers promising to have fleets on the road by 2020 or soon after, that is a looming reality.\n\nBut a University of Michigan study suggests 23% of Americans would not consider riding in a driverless cars, while 36% would be so anxious they would constantly watch the wheel.\n\nIn response, companies are making vehicles that look friendlier.\n\nSemcon has a self-drive car that interacts with pedestrians by displaying a graphic that makes it look as if it is smiling, while cities such as Lyon are experimenting with cute-looking self-drive buses.\n\nIn Pittsburgh, Uber has launched a fleet of self-drive taxis.\n\nAnd in Washington, Las Vegas and Florida, there are plans to run a 12-seat driverless bus fitted with IBM's artificial intelligence platform, Watson, so it can respond to conversational questions about journey times and even recommend local restaurants or historical sites.\n\nSo far it has had some limited trials.\n\n\"When people climb onboard and start interacting with Watson, they sure do crack a smile,\" says Matthew Lesh, head of mobility at manufacturer Local Motors.\n\nThere are several companies developing concept high-speed trains, including Hyperloop Technologies\n\nCities are at a crossroads when it comes to easing congestion -

Mobile phones weren't used widely in Indonesia then, so he caught naps within earshot of his office phone whenever he had a quiet moment.\n\nBut he found that even on quiet days a half-hour's catnap helped. \"It gives you more energy for the rest of the day. It's like starting anew in the morning,\" he says.\n\nA sign of status? Two Tokyo commuters asleep on a train\n\nAnd he's not the only one. In southern Europe the afternoon nap is of course institutionalised as the siesta and it's a similar story in China.\n\nIn Japan dozing in meetings is apparently a sign of status to show off how hard you work. Some bosses are even said to fake it in order to eavesdrop on indiscreet employees - and the employees fake indiscretions to humour them.\n\nYour body operates according to circadian rhythms - the daily cycle of hormones that govern your body clock.\n\nThe main culprit is melatonin. When levels of this chemical are high, you doze off. But when you are exposed to sunlight, your melatonin levels drop and you perk up.\n\n\"Sleep serves as the brain's housekeeper, which helps to clear metabolic waste and toxins from the brain,\" explains somnolence academic Natalie Dautovich of the US National Sleep Foundation.\n\nThat is why we should all sleep a regular seven to nine hours every night.\n\nHow to survive at work: The Business Daily team explores life in the office\n\nClick here for more programme highlights\n\nWe know this to be true, so why are most of us really bad at following this advice?\n\n\"The more sleep deprived we are, the less accurately we are able to judge the effects it has on our performance,\" says Dr Dautovich.\n\nIn other words, everyone else in the office can see we're exhausted but we can't, because we're exhausted.\n\nOur colleagues may see that we're tired but we can't - because we're tired\n\nAnd then there's the matter of mobile phones. I often lose an hour or two late in the evening, sitting up in bed reading my Twitter feed. Dr Dautovich says it's a really bad habit.\n\nThe problem is that phone screens emit much bluer light than your average light bulb, and that fake daylight tends to lower your melatonin levels and wake you up.\n\nOn top of that, your brain comes to associate your bedroom with your mobile, and by extension your office and social life. And that brings on other unhelpful biochemical responses such as the \"stress\" hormone, cortisol.\n\nSo we could all do with a bit more self-discipline - put that phone away and go to bed at a sensible hour.\n\nBut is there more to keeping your mental edge in the office than just getting a good night's sleep?\n\nTo find out, I visited an office where staying alert can be a matter of life or death.\n\nNats, the UK's national air traffic control service, has an entire department dedicated to this question.\n\nIt is understandable when you consider it is responsible for one of the busiest stretches of airspace in the world, over London.\n\n\"One thing we're very, very aware of is that a controller is more likely to have an incident either when they are very busy, or they're very quiet,\" says Neil May of Nats.\n\nNats maintains that optimal mental balance between boredom and overload by controlling the number of aircraft each employee manages.\n\nI meet Neil at Nats' control room in Swanwick, a cavernous space reminiscent of an aircraft hangar that has been designed to minimise distraction.\n\nIt is lit 24/7 with fake daylight, and the only sound is the gentle hubbub of hundreds of controllers perched at screens speaking over headsets to the pilots scattered across the skies of southern England.\n\nStaff work in teams of two, not just to check on each other but also because the social interaction helps keep their minds active.\n\nAnd at least every two hours they are required to take a \"30-minute responsibility free break\", says Neil; a retreat to the cafe or a short nap perhaps.\n\nAir traffic controllers are encouraged to take breaks and go for short naps\n\nNats has a proactive attitude towards sleep. Swanwick has a dormitory room where those on night duty are encouraged to get two hours' kip in the early hours.\n\n\"We want them to be at the very top of their game at 5-6am, when the arrivals are starting to come into Heathrow,\" says Neil.\n\nIt is an attitude that Dr Dautovich would admire.

Or would research rivals in Germany or China snap them up to the detriment of the UK economy?\n\nShowing how seriously they take this, Oxford University has appointed its own head of Brexit strategy.\n\nSo you could say that at least Brexit has already created one extra job.\n\nUniversities are worried about losing EU students to international rivals\n\nBut this new postholder, Professor Alistair Buchan, saw leaving the EU as threatening to relegate the UK's universities behind their global competition.\n\nOxford has been ranked as the world's top university, but Prof Buchan said that in 1970s the UK's universities did not have that top status. This had been built through the EU years and growing networks of international partnerships.\n\nHe described Brexit for universities as the \"Manchester United problem\".\n\nWhy would any football team with international ambitions deliberately want to restrict its access both to better talent and to bigger markets?\n\nThere were warnings about the financial impact of losing European research funding.\n\nThe UK's universities are among the biggest winners from Horizon 2020 research network, bringing more than £2bn into the higher education sector.\n\nThe UK's universities are among the biggest beneficiaries of EU research funding\n\nThis is no small-bière, with some individual universities worrying about the loss of hundreds of millions.\n\nIf the UK is to stay ahead in research, Dr Anne Corbett of the LSE said the UK government had to be ready for some \"serious funding\".\n\nProfessor Stephanie Haywood, president of the Engineering Professors' Council, warned that losing access to EU students would make skills shortages in engineering even worse.\n\nBut could there be an upside in higher tuition fees?\n\nIf EU students are designated as overseas students after Brexit, UK universities could charge them much higher fees.\n\nBut such a tuition fee windfall depends on those students not staying at home or going somewhere else.\n\nProf Barnard raised the example of those talented eastern European mathematicians.\n\nWould they really be able to pay £17,000 or so a year? Or would it mean that universities in the UK would have pay for scholarships rather than see them go elsewhere?\n\nCommittee chairman Neil Carmichael pushed his witnesses for more evidence and facts.\n\nBut what came back most often was even more questions. What's going to happen to the EU staff in UK universities? What will be the visa system for students?\n\nWhat will happen to the intricate networks of European research? How much will the UK government be willing to cover for any lost income?\n\nAnd of course, so far, these are unknowns being piled up on unknowables.\n\nBut as another European refugee scientist, Albert Einstein, once said: \"If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester City have been charged by the Football Association for failing to ensure anti-doping officials knew where players were for drugs testing.\n\nClubs are required to provide accurate details of training sessions and player whereabouts so that they are available for testing at all times.\n\nThe club has allegedly failed to ensure its information was accurate on three occasions, leading to the FA charge.\n\nCity have until 19 January to respond to the charge.\n\nIt is understood the information was not updated following a change to training routines.\n\nThe FA operates a 'three strikes' policy for such breaches, for which the most likely punishment is a fine.\n• None From the archive: When BBC Sport tried the 'whereabouts' drugs testing system\n\nThe FA operates a \"three strikes\" policy in relation to breaches of 'club whereabouts' information.\n\nIt is a rather complex system which covers, in Manchester City's case, first-team, Under-23s and Under-18s.\n\nBy 10:00 GMT on a Monday, clubs must have told the FA where their players are going to be for the remainder of that week.\n\nThe information includes training times, days off, travel, home addresses and hotels.\n\nShould the information - training times or days off for instance - change during the week, the FA has to be notified.\n\nUK anti-doping officials are then entitled to turn up, at random, to carry out tests.\n\nIf the player or players are not at the location they are supposed to be, this constitutes a breach.\n\nThe club are made aware of this and after three breaches, the FA will issue a charge.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nMaking sure certain rivers are fully stocked with prawns could prove to be an important contribution to fighting schistosomiasis.\n\nThe parasitic worm disease is endemic in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics. Africa is a hotspot.\n\nBut it has been shown that prawns will avidly eat the water snails that host the parasite, breaking the cycle of infection that includes people.\n\nThe impact was most eloquently demonstrated on the Senegal River.\n\nThere, the Diama Dam was built close to the estuary in 1986, blocking the ability of prawns to migrate up and down the water course, decimating their presence.\n\nWhen scientists restocked the crustaceans upstream of the barrier in a controlled experiment, they saw a dramatic fall in schistosomiasis re-infection rates among the local population.\n\nBut the ecological consequences of dam construction are often complex and hard to unwrap, and the team could not therefore know for sure how applicable this approach might be to other areas.\n\nSo they did an analysis - to look at multiple dam systems worldwide to see how these mapped across decades-long records of schistosomiasis and the traditional habitat ranges of the large migratory prawn, Macrobrachium.\n\nTo be clear, no-one actually went out into the field to count prawns, but the results of the analysis were nonetheless compelling: damming was followed by greater increases in schistosomiasis in those areas where prawns had historically been present versus those zones not known to be big prawn habitats.\n\nThe inference being that the loss of the crustaceans was a major factor in the rise in infection.\n\n“Where there were dams, schistosomiasis increased, but it increased more - at least double on average - where we expected these predators to be, traditionally - compared to those dammed watersheds where they have not been,” explained Dr Susanne Sokolow from Stanford University and UC Santa Barbara, US.\n\nAnd her colleague, Prof Giulio De Leo, added: “We ended up finding that something like 280 million to 350 million people live in areas that are endemic for schistosomiasis and could potentially benefit from this type of intervention (prawn re-introduction).\n\n“We are talking in fact about 40% of the 800 million people that are potentially at risk of schistosomiasis and this is because most of the people tend to concentrate in coastal areas where there is also historical presence of these migratory prawns that happen to be voracious predators of the snails that amplify schistosomiasis.”\n\nSokolow and De Leo gave details of their latest work at the recent American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.\n\nThe Diama Dam allowed for the expansion of agriculture along the Senegal River\n\nThey are now working with various groups in Africa (the Upstream Alliance) to try to develop sustainable means of maintaining prawns in affected rivers.\n\nPraziquantel: A highly effective treatment but it does not stop re-infection\n\nThis includes prawn aquaculture farms. The crustaceans are corralled in netted areas close to the river bank to keep on top of the snails and then harvested for food. Schistosomiasis cannot be caught by eating the prawns, so it is a strategy that has economic as well as a health benefits.\n\nThe team is also examining the role other predators could play, such as catfish and ducks. Both will eat freshwater snails.\n\nAnother idea is to tackle the problem at source - the dam. It should be possible to retrofit barriers with some kind of prawn bypass, akin to the “ladders” that aid salmon in other parts of the world to get to their upstream spawning grounds.\n\nThe capital investment required at existing dams could be very large, however.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Giulio De Leo: \"We want to identify other candidate sites around the world\"\n\nThe native African prawn Macrobrachium vollenhovenii is the focus of attention and biotechnology (non GM) techniques are available that allow all-male progeny to be produced in aquaculture farms.\n\nUsing only males is preferable on a few counts. They grow fast and big and consume more snails, but being male they do not need to migrate in the same way as females, which require a saline estuary for spawning - so the dam becomes less of an issue.\n\nBut prawns are not a “silver bullet”, cautions Dr Sokolow. A suite of solutions will ultimately be necessary.\n\n“There’s a drug treatment that works very well - praziquantel. It clears the worms out of people and is 98-99% effective. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have lasting effects, so people the very next day - people living in poverty, especially, where there isn’t clean and safe water to access - are back out in the rivers and streams getting re-infected,\" she told BBC News.\n\n“Clearly, there are other factors in play, such as the building up of agricultural systems that follow the construction of the dams. That increases population densities and potentially puts agrochemicals in the river that influences the system. But when you add in the loss of the prawns, the situation becomes worse; and it suggests that this tool of restoring prawns could be a big factor in helping to reduce and mitigate the impact of dams on schistosomiasis.”\n\nIt may not be just prawns - ducks and catfish may be useful tools, also", "More than one million people have watched a snooker trick shot set up across a bar in Bristol.\n\nAllstar Sports Bar shot the video as their late Christmas trick shot and it's since gone viral online.\n\nThe 500ft (152m) putt took about 11 hours to set up and was filmed by general manager Shane O'Hara and bar assistant Tom Woolman.\n\n[Note: This video has no sound]\n\nBBC Sport's live coverage of the 2017 Masters starts on Sunday.", "Is Maria Balshaw the new director of the Tate?

Here Vicky Spratt, deputy editor of The Debrief, describes years of depression, anxiety and panic as she tried one version of the pill after another.\n\nI sat in the GP's office with my mum and told her that I'd been having my period for three weeks. She told me that the contraceptive pill might help. She warned that it wouldn't protect me from sexually transmitted infections and told me that if I had unprotected sex I could get cervical cancer, so I'd best use it wisely. She had to say that, though I was 14 and sex was very much not on the agenda.\n\nMy prescription was printed in reception. And then, a three-month supply of the combined pill was mine. Picking up the green foil-covered packets full of tiny yellow pills felt like a rite of passage - I was a woman now. In the plastic pockets was the sugar-coated distillation of feminism, of women's liberation, of medical innovation.\n\nThis is where it all began, 14 years ago. I then played what I call pill roulette for more than a decade, trying different brands with varying degrees of success and disaster. It was around this time that I also developed anxiety, depression and serious mood swings which, on and off, have affected me throughout my adult life.\n\nRelationships have ended and I had to take a year out from university - I thought that was just \"who I was\", a person ill-equipped for life, lacking self-confidence and unhappy. It wouldn't be until my early 20s, after graduating from university - when my mental health problems and behaviour could no longer be dismissed as those of a \"moody teenager\" - that I would seriously question whether it was linked to my use of the pill.\n\nOne day in the early hours, sitting at my laptop, unable to sleep because of a panic attack which had lasted overnight, I began to Google. I had started taking a new pill, a progestogen-only pill (POP) which had been prescribed because I was suffering from migraines, and the combined pill is not safe for people who suffer from migraines with aura.\n\nI tapped the name of the pill + depression/anxiety into the search engine and the internet did the rest. There it was: forum threads and blog posts from people who were experiencing the same symptoms as me.\n\nAt this point I had already seen my GP several times, following the sudden onset of debilitating panic attacks, which I had never experienced before. At no point had my contraceptive pill come up in conversation, despite the fact that the attacks had started when I switched to the new contraceptive. Instead, I was prescribed a high dose of beta blockers, used to treat anxiety, and it was recommended that I should undergo cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).\n\nI lived like this for somewhere between six and eight months - I can't tell you exactly because that year of my life is a blur, recorded by my mind in fast-forward because of the constant sense of urgency and impending doom that coursed through my veins.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe Debrief carried out an investigation, surveying 1,022 readers, aged 18-30\n\nI wish, wholeheartedly, that I could look back on this and laugh. That's how all good stories end, isn't it? But there was then, and is now, nothing funny about what I went through. It was terrifying. I was scared. I didn't recognise myself, I didn't like myself and I couldn't live my life. I didn't know what to do, who to turn to or whether it would ever end. I was not only anxious but lethargic, I felt completely useless. I blamed myself.\n\nAt the time, convinced that I had lost my mind and feeling as though I was having an out-of-body experience, I explained to my GP that \"I felt like someone else\", as though my brain \"had gone off and gone mouldy\".\n\n\"Do you think this could have anything to do with my new pill?\" I asked. I remember the look on her face, an attempt to look blank which barely concealed a desire to tell me I was ridiculous. I explained to her that I had felt awful on every single one of the six or seven pills I'd taken up until that point, with the exception of one high-oestrogen combined pill which made me feel like superwoman for a year, before it was taken away from me (partly because of the migraines and partly because of an increased risk of thrombosis with continued use).\n\nShe told me, categorically, that my new pill was not the problem.\n\nBut, disobeying both her and my therapist, I stopped taking the progestogen-only pill.\n\nI can only describe what happened next as the gradual and creeping return of my sense of self. After three or four weeks I also stopped taking the beta blockers. To this day, I still carry them with me. They're in every handbag I own, a safety net should I fall off the enormous cliff of my own mind again. In three-and-a-half years I have never had to take them.\n\nMy problems didn't disappear overnight, of course, but I did stop having panic attacks. I haven't had one since. I feel low from time to time, anxious and stressed but it's nowhere near on the same scale as what I experienced while taking the progestogen-only pill. I felt joy again, my libido returned and I stopped feeling terrified of absolutely everything and everyone.\n\nA year after the panic attacks subsided I sat on a faraway beach, after taking a solo long-haul flight halfway round the world. This would have been unthinkable the previous year. As I sat there, underneath a tropical electrical storm, I cried with relief. Relief that I was myself again, relief that I had control of my own mind once more and relief that I hadn't been wrong, that I knew myself better than doctors had made me feel I did.\n\nNow 28, I no longer use hormonal contraception and with the exception of mild mood swings in the 48 hours before my period I am, touch wood, free of anxiety, depression and panic attacks.\n\nIn the years that have passed since I lost myself on the progestogen-only pill and found myself again on a South Asian beach, this issue has been gradually receiving more and more attention. Holly Grigg Spall's book, Sweetening The Pill, published in 2013, put the effects of hormonal contraception on women's mental health firmly on the agenda.\n\nSince then a study, overseen by Prof Ojvind Lidegaard at the University of Copenhagen, found that women taking the pill - either the combined pill or the progestogen-only pill - were more likely to be prescribed an antidepressant than those not on hormonal contraception. The difference was particularly noticeable for young women aged between 15 and 19 on the combined pill.\n\nLidegaard was able to conduct this research because he had access to medical records for more than a million Danish women aged 15-34.\n\nFollowing the publication of Prof Lidegaard's study I sent a freedom of information request to the NHS, in my capacity as a journalist at The Debrief. I knew, from the number of our readers who write to us on a near-daily basis about this issue, that significant numbers of women were suffering. I asked the NHS whether they knew how many women were taking antidepressants or beta blockers concurrently. They told me that their systems do not yet allow them to collect this data.\n\nProf Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, says: \"There is an established link between hormones and mood, both positive and negative, but for the vast majority of women, the benefits of reliable contraception and regulation of their menstrual cycle outweigh any side effects, and many women report that taking hormones actually boosts their mood.\n\n\"If a woman believes her contraception might be adversely affecting her mood, she should discuss it with a healthcare professional at her next routine appointment.\"\n\nSee also: How risky is the contraceptive pill?\n\nDepression is listed as a known but rare side effect of the hormonal contraceptive pill, it's there in the small but hefty leaflet you get in the packet. The NHS website lists \"mood swings\" and \"mood changes\" but not explicitly depression, anxiety or panic attacks.\n\nWe shouldn't throw our pill packets away but neither should we accept negative side effects which impinge on our day-to-day lives. We can't make informed choices without information. We need better research into how hormonal contraception can affect women's mental health, better ways of monitoring reactions in patients, more awareness and support for those who do experience serious side effects. No woman should feel dismissed or ignored.\n\nVicky Spratt is deputy editor of The Debrief, a website for women in their 20s.

taken to a quiet room away from the crowd.\n\nThe first call was from eldest son Terry that Daniel, who lived in Surrey with his mother, was in intensive care at Royal Surrey County Hospital, in Guildford.\n\n\"The news was totally unexpected, Daniel was severely epileptic and there was always a risk, but it was a bolt out of the blue\", he said.\n\nHe tried to tell a policeman at the turns

big day.", "Mark Carney has put his finger on one of the biggest debates developing in the City at the moment.\n\nBrexit may hold risks for Britain - the economy and the supremacy of London as Europe's financial capital being two of them.\n\nBut the rest of the European Union also faces risks.\n\nAnd, according to the governor, those risks are greater for the continent.\n\nTo be clear, Mr Carney was talking about financial stability, not economic growth - although of course the two are closely intertwined.\n\nIf financial stability is compromised, or liquidity conditions deteriorate, then economic growth is likely to be adversely affected.\n\nIn his evidence to the Treasury Select Committee, Mr Carney made three major points.\n\nFirst, the UK's financial services sector provides 75% of foreign exchange trading for the EU, 75% of all hedging products (which help businesses insure against risk when making investments or buying products) and supports half of all lending.\n\nAs he said in November, the UK is Europe's \"investment banker\".\n\nA sharp break in that liquidity and capacity support could be detrimental to financial stability in the EU.\n\nAlex Brazier, the executive director for financial stability at the Bank, said that the UK exports £26bn of financial services to the EU, and imports just £3bn.\n\nWhich, he said, makes the point.\n\nSecond, as far as the UK is concerned, Brexit is no longer the biggest risk to financial stability.\n\nNow, that may be leapt on by the Bank's critics - the governor has changed his tune, it could be said, given that before the referendum Brexit was seen as the biggest risk.\n\nMr Carney said the UK economy is performing better than expected\n\nBut Mr Carney made it clear - the mitigating actions the Bank has taken since the referendum (a cut in interest rates and more financial support for banks and businesses) have, according to the governor, worked.\n\nBetter economic news than many predicted has also maintained confidence - and the governor suggested that the Bank was now looking at upgrading the UK economic forecasts for 2017.\n\nThird, transitional arrangements would be a positive help to smoothing the process of Brexit, avoiding what has been described as a \"cliff edge\" exit which may occur at the end of the two year Article 50 process.\n\nMany in the City believe that given the complexities of the financial relationships between London and the rest of Europe, two years will simply not be enough time to build new regulatory and financial structures.\n\nA period of \"adaption\" will be necessary.\n\nMr Carney's comments are likely to be welcomed in Number 10 and the Treasury.\n\nThe government believes that, whatever the present noises about the toughness of the EU position on Brexit flexibility, the role London plays in supporting the rest of the EU economy will be an important part of the negotiations.\n\nBusiness leaders across the EU will want to maintain full access to UK's deep financial markets and widespread expertise.\n\nAnd that will help Theresa May's push for the \"closest trading relationship\" with the EU, even if Britain does leave the single market as it is presently constituted.\n\nSome believe this a forlorn hope, suggesting that political positions in the EU are hardening, not softening, towards the UK.\n\nBut, the more the warnings come from people like Mr Carney that Europe might just need the UK's financial muscle, the stronger Mrs May's negotiating hand will be.", "Last updated on .From the section

been are at the front line when it comes to identifying and helping children with mental heath problems.\n\nBut some heads wonder how much longer they can continue to provide in-school counselling and mentoring as budgets flatline and costs rise.\n\nAt Whalley Range High School in inner-city Manchester, students' mental wellbeing is a priority.\n\n\"There is a lot of stress,\" executive head teacher, Patsy Kane, told the BBC.\n\nThere is a waiting list for the school's counselling service, funded from its general budget, and two specially trained support staff run a child protection service.\n\nTeaching staff were \"vigilant\", keeping an eye out for pupils showing raised levels of stress and anger, said Ms Kane.\n\nEach year group at the 1,500 strong girls' secondary has its own pastoral manager whose duties include ongoing assessment of pupils' mental health.\n\nThere is also a school nurse and a school counsellor available four or five days each week, all paid for from the school's overall budget.\n\nThe academy trust that runs Whalley Range also includes Levenshulme High School for girls and East Manchester Academy, which is mixed.\n\nThey serve some of the most deprived and culturally diverse wards in the city and all have a strong focus on pupils' mental health.\n\nThe real difficulties come when pupils' problems go beyond the capacity of the professionals in the school, according to Ms Kane.\n\n\"Local services are just overwhelmed,\" she said.\n\n\"These are very challenging times.\"\n\nMs Kane said the schools often had to advise parents to take children with suicidal thoughts straight to accident and emergency \"as this can be the only way to get support quickly\".\n\nAnd one pupil \"in extreme need\" had been sent to a hospital in the north-east of England \"hundreds of miles away as there was not a single adolescent mental health bed available in this region\".\n\n\"If there isn't a bed, a child's life could be at risk,\" she said\n\nBut being treated so far from home was even more disorientating for distressed teenagers.\n\nDemand for in-school counselling was growing and pupils were offered the service \"for as long as they need it,\" said Ms Kane.\n\nBut changes to the way school budgets were calculated in England meant that many inner city schools, including in Manchester, faced cuts.\n\n\"I don't know how much longer we are going to be able to protect counselling,\" she said.\n\nUnder government plans, announced on Monday, all secondary schools will be offered mental-health first-aid training.\n\nThe plans also include a pledge that by 2021 no child will be sent away from their local area for treatment.\n\nBut with budget pressure on existing services already apparent, head teachers' leaders are anxious to know how the plans will be funded.\n\n\"This is a highly complex area,\" said Malcolm Trobe, interim general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, which represents secondary heads.\n\n\"Many schools already provide their own support on site, and do a very good job despite limited resources, but they often face serious difficulties in referring young people to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.\n\n\"There is simply not enough provision - and families face excessively long waiting times,\" said Mr Trobe.\n\nAccording to the National Association of Head Teachers, about three-quarters of schools already lack the funds to provide good enough mental health care for pupils.\n\n\"Rising demand, growing complexity and tight budgets are getting in the way of helping the children who need it most,\" said NAHT general secretary Russell Hobby.\n\n\"Moves to make schools more accountable for the mental health of their pupils must first be accompanied by sufficient school funding and training for staff and should focus only on those areas where schools can act, including promotion of good mental health, identification and signposting or referrals to the appropriate services,\" he added.\n\nFor Ms Kane, the emphasis is on making the schools she runs \"safe and welcoming places\".\n\nCounselling and other forms of psychological support were more important than ever as changes to the exam system \"are creating more stress\", she said.\n\n\"There is a lot of memorising required and less course work.\"\n\nThe school holds assemblies for candidates, on how to revise and relax, and mindfulness training.\n\nAnd there are lessons in small groups for some of the more vulnerable pupils.\n\nThere is also an emphasis on sport, and the school encourages volunteering.\n\n\"You feel better if you help someone else,\" said Ms Kane.\n\n\"We want students to learn strategies for life.

It is a reminder of what I was once told - that economics is not a science but the politics of money.\n\nThere have been times in the past when politicians have urged voters to go out and spend, almost as if shopping was a patriotic duty. In recent months, the British consumer has needed no urging.\n\nThere has been a surge in UK retail sales\n\nWarnings have been defied. Financed by a surge in borrowing, spending is accelerating. Confidence is high, buoyed by real income growth, the housing market outside London, low unemployment and a soaring stock market. Our European neighbours are a little open-mouthed at the way the script is unfolding.\n\nBut many of the same economists and forecasters who had warned against Brexit still believe a reckoning is coming. The rising costs of imports because of a weakened pound and increased fuel prices will combine to force some retailers to raise their prices. Higher inflation will test consumer appetites.\n\nThe robust economy has bought the government political space. It is not at the moment under pressure and does not yet need to show its hand but, slowly, a narrative is emerging that carries risks for Theresa May and her tightly-wound circle; that they are hobbled by indecision.\n\nPerhaps, not surprisingly, you hear it said in the European Commission that the government neither has a strategy for the negotiations ahead nor does it know what it wants.\n\nThat is seeping into the conversations in Westminster and was boosted by the charge from Sir Ivan Rogers, the former UK Ambassador to the EU, of \"muddled thinking\" in the government.\n\nSir Ivan Rogers has warned about \"muddled thinking\" over Brexit\n\nIt is a narrative rejected by Mrs May and, to be fair to No 10, there are no easy choices. It is as complex a negotiation as any government has faced. Inevitably some people will be disappointed.\n\nBrussels thinks the UK has made its choice. The PM has said the UK will insist on controlling EU immigration and on leaving the jurisdiction of the European courts. To those sitting in the halls of the EU that means Britain is set on leaving the single market because access to the internal market depends on accepting freedom of movement.\n\nTheresa May has repeatedly rejected the idea that what the UK wants is a binary decision. She certainly believes that the government has to reassert control over EU migration and that is close to being a red line.\n\nBut ministers believe that does not preclude a deal, whereby access to the single market is negotiated for certain industries or where some elements of freedom of movement are accepted, while negotiating for the right to apply a brake if the system is under pressure.\n\nAngela Merkel has said there will be \"no cherry picking\" by the UK over its Brexit deal\n\nThe official EU line is the one echoed by Angela Merkel who insists there will be \"no cherry picking\". So far, the 27 other members of the EU have been remarkably united behind that response.\n\nThe government, however, believes that once the negotiations start there will be greater flexibility to be exploited.\n\nDowning Street knows that almost any deal has the capacity to stir up divisions, not least within the PM's own party. The differences will not easily be reconciled.\n\nMany of the Brexiteers want to leave the single market and the customs union as quickly as possible, precisely because of the conditions attached to belonging to it.\n\nHowever, a sizeable part of the Conservative Party, the City and the business community believes that leaving the single market would be reckless, risking serious damage to the UK economy.\n\nSome time after the end of March, when Article 50 is triggered, the negotiations will begin. The initial focus will be on the terms of the divorce. Early on, the UK will face the bill to settle outstanding obligations, like contributions to the EU budget and towards EU pensions. In Brussels they put the price tag somewhere between 55 and 60 billion euros. That one item alone has the potential to sour negotiations.\n\nIn the two years to settle the divorce there will almost certainly be no time to agree a trade deal. That is why both the EU and some UK ministers are calling for a transitional arrangement.\n\nNegotiating new trade agreements will be a key part of a successful Brexit\n\nThis will be a much more dangerous period for the government. Inward investment may weaken, businesses may postpone expenditure and some companies may decide to move part of their operations to a EU capital, while consumers may lose their confidence.\n\nThe challenge for the government will be to keep the voters believing that an agreement is achievable which protects the economy.\n\nThe greatest risk for the prime minister is that her opening bid is dismissed out of hand or that it becomes apparent that a compromise is beyond reach. There are well-known figures in the European Commission who do not disguise their determination to see the UK hurt.\n\nThat was Sir Ivan Rogers's concern, that the UK could slide into a \"disorderly break\" with nothing to show for all the talking, leaving the UK trading under World Trade Organization rules with common tariffs.\n\nWithin 10 weeks Mrs May will have to shed her instinctive caution, define her goals and become the great persuader both in Europe and at home.\n\nAt some stage she will face the maxim \"to lead is to choose\".\n• None What are the Brexit options?", "During Jeff Session's first day of confirmation hearings, Democrats did not provoke any blockbuster revelations that would bring his attorney general hopes crashing down in flames.\n\nSenators on both sides of the aisle, however, were able to draw Mr Trump's nominee out on a wide range of issues, revealing how he would go about running the Justice Department and what his priorities would be.\n\nHere's a look at some of the more significant topics of discussion.\n\nLast year Senator Jeff Sessions said that the FBI should have been more aggressive in investigating Democrat Hillary Clinton's use of a private email system and possible corruption in the her family's charitable foundation.\n\nOn Tuesday morning he said that because such previous comments could call into question his impartiality, he would recuse himself from any future Justice Department investigations into the former Democratic presidential nominee.\n\nHe also downplayed concerns, aired during the presidential campaign, that Mr Trump might be prone to use the powers of the presidency to punish political foes.\n\nWhen California Senator Diane Feinstein asked Mr Sessions about his past opposition to the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalising abortion across the US, the nominee stood by his view that the case was a colossal mistake.\n\nHe noted, however, that the decision was the \"law of the land\" and that he will \"respect and follow it\" - a line he also used regarding the recent court decision to legalise same-sex marriage.\n\nMr Sessions later said that he would enforce laws guaranteeing access to abortion clinics and prohibiting protesters from disrupting their operation.\n\nAbortion opponents have been focused less on overturning the Roe decision in recent years, however, instead opting for limiting when and where women can obtain abortions. On that topic, Mr Sessions was much more opaque.\n\nMr Sessions, when asked about Mr Trump's past support for temporarily closing the US border to all Muslims, said neither he nor the president-elect currently backed such a policy.\n\nInstead, he said, the incoming administration's plan was to subject individuals from countries with ties to terrorism to \"strong vetting\". He did concede, however, that a new arrival's religion could be taken into consideration by US immigration officials\n\n\"Sometimes, at least not in a majority, many people do have religious views that are inimical to the public safety of the United States,\" he said.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Jeff Sessions said caricature of him as a 'Southern racist was painful'\n\nMr Sessions has been an advocate for voter ID laws in the past - measures that have, at times, run afoul of the federal Voting Rights Act.\n\nWhen asked about a recent decision by a Texas court to strike down their strict law, the Alabama senator professed a lack of knowledge of details.\n\n\"I have publicly said I think voter ID laws properly drafted are ok,\" Mr Sessions said. \"But as attorney general it will be my duty to study the facts and in more depth, to analyse the law, but fundamentally that can be decided by Congress, and the courts, as they interpret the existing law.\"\n\nHe was more forthcoming when asked about the portion of the Voting Rights Act ruled unconstitutional in 2013 by the US Supreme Court that required a number of states, mostly in the South, to receive federal clearance before taking actions affecting voting rights. He called it \"intrusive\".\n\nThe practice of waterboarding detainees, according to Mr Sessions on Tuesday, is \"absolutely improper and illegal\".\n\nThat represents a bit of a departure for the Alabama senator, who voted against the 2015 law making it illegal, and runs contrary to Mr Trump's campaign position that he backed measures \"a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding\".\n\nAs for the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the attorney general nominee was on the same page as the president-elect.\n\n\"It's a safe place to keep prisoners,\" he said. \"I believe it should be utilised in that fashion and have opposed the closing of it.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A Democratic critic says there's no evidence Sessions will be 'fair and humane' on immigration\n\nOver the course of the more than six hours of testimony on Tuesday, Mr Sessions was asked about how vigorously he'd pursue a variety of Justice Department priorities. He wouldn't rule out increased enforcement of federal drug laws in states that have decriminalised marijuana and suggested he might restart a task-force charged with prosecuting violations of anti-obscenity laws.\n\nMr Sessions also made clear that he did not support the \"prosecutorial discretion\" that the Obama administration used to suspend the deportation of some groups of undocumented migrants, such as those who entered the US as children.\n\nWhile he didn't directly call for reversing Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration, he said it was of \"very questionable\" constitutionality and that his Justice Department wouldn't object to reversing it.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSouthampton hold a slender advantage in the EFL Cup semi-final after a fully deserved first-leg victory over Liverpool at St Mary's.\n\nNathan Redmond's cool finish from Jay Rodriguez's pass gave Saints a crucial lead to take to Anfield on 25 January - but Southampton can count themselves unlucky not to be in complete control of this battle for a place at Wembley.\n\nLiverpool's much-criticised goalkeeper Loris Karius was one of very few in Jurgen Klopp's side to distinguish himself amid a shocking performance, making two fine first-half saves from goalscorer Redmond.\n\nKarius's one-handed save from Redmond right on half-time was vital but he was helpless late on as the same player threatened once more, Liverpool enjoying more good fortune as his effort came back off the bar.\n• None 'We should have lost 3-0 - Klopp'\n\nSaints satisfied - but is there disappointment too?\n\nSouthampton's recent form has been indifferent but manager Claude Puel will have been delighted with their display at St Mary's.\n\nAfter a brief early spell of Liverpool pressure, when Roberto Firmino tested Fraser Forster, Southampton were completely untroubled throughout an impressive performance.\n\nSaints were sharp in the tackle, more assured in possession and a continual threat through Redmond and the industrious Rodriguez.\n\nThey will be left, however, with a tinge of regret despite an excellent, fully merited result that gives them real reason for optimism for the second leg at Anfield.\n\nKarius and the woodwork kept them at bay and they had many other opportunities to produce a scoreline reflecting their superiority.\n\nSouthampton could have slammed the door on Liverpool - instead it remains ajar.\n\nKarius has had to undergo a severe examination of his goalkeeping credentials and endure heavy public criticism in the early months of his Liverpool career.\n\nKlopp placed great faith in the 23-year-old German, signed from his former club Mainz in a £4.75m deal this summer - eventually choosing him ahead of established first-choice Simon Mignolet.\n\nThe decision backfired and he was forced to drop Karius after two poor, error-strewn performances in the 4-3 loss at Bournemouth and the 2-2 home draw with West Ham.\n\nKlopp has never lost belief, however, choosing Karius as his cup keeper - and he was rewarded here with an outstanding display, especially with two excellent saves from Redmond.\n\nHe is responsible for Liverpool still being in this tie after a shocking display.\n\nWhat the managers said\n\n\"Liverpool had just the one chance all game.

Navigate to the next page Navigate to the last page", "The allegations against Donald Trump in the documents read like something from a bad film\n\nDonald Trump has described as \"fake news\" allegations published in some media that his election team colluded with Russia - and that Russia held compromising material about his private life. The BBC's Paul Wood saw the allegations before the election, and reports on the fallout now they have come to light.\n\nThe significance of these allegations is that, if true, the president-elect of the United States would be vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.\n\nI understand the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat - or compromising material - on the next US commander in chief. At the same time a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign.\n\nClaims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent, understood to be Christopher Steele.\n\nAs a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK's embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.\n\nThey told him that Mr Trump had been filmed with a group of prostitutes in the presidential suite of Moscow's Ritz-Carlton hotel. I know this because the Washington political research company that commissioned his report showed it to me during the final week of the election campaign.\n\nThe BBC decided not to use it then, for the very good reason that without seeing the tape - if it exists - we could not know if the claims were true. The detail of the allegations were certainly lurid. The entire series of reports has now been posted by BuzzFeed.\n\nMr Trump's supporters say this is a politically motivated attack.\n\nThe president-elect himself, outraged, tweeted this morning: \"Are we living in Nazi Germany?\"\n\nLater, at his much-awaited news conference, he was unrestrained.\n\n\"A thing like that should have never been written,\" he said, \"and certainly should never have been released.\"\n\nHe said the memo was written by \"sick people [who] put that crap together\".\n\nThe opposition research firm that commissioned the report had worked first for an anti-Trump superpac - political action committee - during the Republican primaries.\n\nThen during the general election, it was funded by an anonymous Democratic Party supporter. But these are not political hacks - their usual line of work is country analysis and commercial risk assessment, similar to the former MI6 agent's consultancy. He, apparently, gave his dossier to the FBI against the firm's advice.\n\nMr Trump was in Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant (pictured)\n\nAnd the former MI6 agent is not the only source for the claim about Russian kompromat on the president-elect. Back in August, a retired spy told me he had been informed of its existence by \"the head of an East European intelligence agency\".\n\nLater, I used an intermediary to pass some questions to active duty CIA officers dealing with the case file - they would not speak to me directly. I got a message back that there was \"more than one tape\", \"audio and video\", on \"more than one date\", in \"more than one place\" - in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and also in St Petersburg - and that the material was \"of a sexual nature\".\n\nThe claims of Russian kompromat on Mr Trump were \"credible\", the CIA believed. That is why - according to the New York Times and Washington Post - these claims ended up on President Barack Obama's desk last week, a briefing document also given to Congressional leaders and to Mr Trump himself.\n\nMr Trump did visit Moscow in November 2013, the date the main tape is supposed to have been made. There is TV footage of him at the Miss Universe contest. Any visitor to a grand hotel in Moscow would be wise to assume that their room comes equipped with hidden cameras and microphones as well as a mini-bar.\n\nAt his news conference, Mr Trump said he warned his staff when they travelled: \"Be very careful, because in your hotel rooms and no matter where you go you're going to probably have cameras.\" So the Russian security services have made obtaining kompromat an art form.\n\nEven President Vladimir Putin says there is \"kompromat\" on him - though perhaps he is joking\n\nOne Russian specialist told me that Vladimir Putin himself sometimes says there is kompromat on him - though perhaps he is joking. The specialist went on to tell me that FSB officers are prone to boasting about having tapes on public figures, and to be careful of any statements they might make.\n\nA former CIA officer told me he had spoken by phone to a serving FSB officer who talked about the tapes. He concluded: \"It's hokey as hell.\"\n\nMr Trump and his supporters are right to point out that these are unsubstantiated allegations.\n\nBut it is not just sex, it is money too. The former MI6 agent's report detailed alleged attempts by the Kremlin to offer Mr Trump lucrative \"sweetheart deals\" in Russia that would buy his loyalty.\n\nMr Trump turned these down, and indeed has done little real business in Russia. But a joint intelligence and law enforcement taskforce has been looking at allegations that the Kremlin paid money to his campaign through his associates.\n\nOn 15 October, the US secret intelligence court issued a warrant to investigate two Russian banks. This news was given to me by several sources and corroborated by someone I will identify only as a senior member of the US intelligence community. He would never volunteer anything - giving up classified information would be illegal - but he would confirm or deny what I had heard from other sources.\n\nMr Trump says Moscow has \"never tried to use leverage on me\"\n\n\"I'm going to write a story that says…\" I would say. \"I don't have a problem with that,\" he would reply, if my information was accurate. He confirmed the sequence of events below.\n\nLast April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.\n\nIt was passed to the US by an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter-intelligence taskforce was created.\n\nThe taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice. For the foreign and intelligence aspects of the investigation, there were another three agencies: the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Agency, responsible for electronic spying.\n\nLawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the Fisa court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.\n\nTheir first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.\n\nHarry Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, pictured, accused the FBI of holding back information\n\nNeither Mr Trump nor his associates are named in the Fisa order, which would only cover foreign citizens or foreign entities - in this case the Russian banks. But ultimately, the investigation is looking for transfers of money from Russia to the United States, each one, if proved, a felony offence.\n\nA lawyer- outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case - told me that three of Mr Trump's associates were the subject of the inquiry. \"But it's clear this is about Trump,\" he said.\n\nI spoke to all three of those identified by this source. All of them emphatically denied any wrongdoing. \"Hogwash,\" said one. \"Bullshit,\" said another. Of the two Russian banks, one denied any wrongdoing, while the other did not respond to a request for comment.\n\nThe investigation was active going into the election. During that period, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Harry Reid, wrote to the director of the FBI, accusing him of holding back \"explosive information\" about Mr Trump.\n\nMr Reid sent his letter after getting an intelligence briefing, along with other senior figures in Congress. Only eight people were present: the chairs and ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, and the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in Congress, the \"gang of eight\" as they are sometimes called. Normally, senior staff attend \"gang of eight\" intelligence briefings, but not this time. The Congressional leaders were not even allowed to take notes.\n\nIn the letter to the FBI director, James Comey, Mr Reid said: \"In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and co-ordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Mr Trump praises at every opportunity.\n\n\"The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.\"\n\nThe CIA, FBI, Justice and Treasury all refused to comment when I approached them after hearing about the Fisa warrant.\n\nIt is not clear what will happen to the inter-agency investigation under President Trump - or even if the taskforce is continuing its work now. The Russians have denied any attempt to influence the president-elect - with either money or a blackmail tape.\n\nHillary Clinton referred to Mr Trump as Mr Putin's \"puppet\" during the debates\n\nIf a tape exists, the Russians would hardly give it up, though some hope to encourage a disloyal FSB officer who might want to make some serious money. Before the election, Larry Flynt, publisher of the pornographic magazine Hustler, put up a million dollars for incriminating tape of Mr Trump. Penthouse has now followed with its own offer of a million dollars for the Ritz-Carlton tape (if it exists).\n\nIt is an extraordinary situation, 10 days before Mr Trump is sworn into office, but it was foreshadowed during the campaign.\n\nDuring the final presidential debate, Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump a \"puppet\" of Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin. \"No puppet. No puppet,\" Mr Trump interjected, talking over Mrs Clinton. \"You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet.\"\n\nIn a New York Times op-ed in August, the former director of the CIA, Michael Morell, wrote: \"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr Putin had recruited Mr Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.\"\n\nAgent; puppet - both terms imply some measure of influence or control by Moscow.\n\nMichael Hayden, former head of both the CIA and the NSA, simply called Mr Trump a \"polezni durak\" - a useful fool.\n\nThe background to those statements was information held - at the time - within the intelligence community. Now all Americans have heard the claims. Little more than a week before his inauguration, they will have to decide if their president-elect really was being blackmailed by Moscow.\n\nClarification: 11 January - This article was amended to make clear that the opposition research firm which commissioned the report had first worked for an anti-Trump political action committee.", "The two men arranged to meet because they had the same name\n\nTheir whirlwind friendship began on Facebook, grew over beer, progressed to a New Year's Eve kiss - then went right around the world.\n\nIt started when Sam Mitchell, a 19-year-old plasterer in Australia, contacted a 22-year-old British backpacker on social media because he shared his exact name.\n\n\"You may be wondering why I have sent you a friend request. I had to because we share the same name. Middle name as well. Good day sir,\" he wrote.\n\nThe reply came quickly: \"Yeah, and what is stranger is that I've just moved from the UK to Australia.\"\n\nFour hours later, the Australian and his friends pooled their money to buy the London man a ticket from Victoria to Tasmania for the following morning, New Year's Eve.\n\n\"The idea of flying him down got tossed about,\" Australian Sam told the BBC. \"The more beers we had, the better the idea became.\"\n\nAfter collecting their new friend from Launceston Airport, the group staged what they called the \"Sam Mitchell Olympics\".\n\nThis involved a sack race using laundry buckets, a taste-testing game and beer pong.\n\nThe British traveller documented his journey to Launceston\n\nThe new friends staged what they called the \"Sam Mitchell Olympics\"\n\nLater at a bar, the Sams celebrated 2017 with a kiss.\n\n\"It was strictly platonic, but it was very nice for me knowing that he had chosen to kiss me at midnight, instead of his girlfriend who he has been with for four years,\" British Sam said.\n\nThe story of their unlikely meeting and ensuing fun has made news around the world.\n\n\"The games.

It was an \"extremely cute bromance\", said news.com.au.\n\nThe London man later returned to Melbourne\n\nLifestyle website Techly mused: \"The Man From Snowy River, the expedition of Burke and Wills and the tale of Ned Kelly are all iconic Australian stories, but now we've finally got one for the digital age.\"\n\nBritish Sam told the BBC: \"It seems to be a story that everyone is really enjoying amongst all the bad news over the past year.\"\n\nThe friends parted ways but have vowed to remain in touch.\n\n\"We joked about - by next New Year's (Eve) - having a bunch of Sam Mitchells from all over the world representing their countries and having an actual 'Sam Mitchell Olympics',\" British Sam said.\n\n\"We'll definitely have a drink and a few laughs at some point.\"", "President Barack Obama outlined his achievements in his farewell speech in Chicago.\n\nThe country's first black president, now 55, was first elected in 2008 on a message of hope and change.\n\nHis successor, Donald Trump, has vowed to undo some of Mr Obama's signature policies after he is sworn into office on 20 January.", "The gibbons live high up in the canopies of the tropical rainforests of China\n\nA gibbon living in the tropical forests of south west China is a new species of primate, scientists have concluded.\n\nThe animal has been studied for some time, but new research confirms it is different from all other gibbons.\n\nIt has been named the Skywalker hoolock gibbon - partly because the Chinese characters of its scientific name mean \"Heaven's movement\" but also because the scientists are fans of Star Wars.\n\nThe study is published in the American Journal of Primatology.\n\nDr Sam Turvey, from the Zoological Society of London, who was part of the team studying the apes, told BBC News: \"In this area, so many species have declined or gone extinct because of habitat loss, hunting and general human overpopulation.\n\n\"So it's an absolute privilege to see something as special and as rare as a gibbon in a canopy in a Chinese rainforest, and especially when it turns out that the gibbons are actually a new species previously unrecognised by science.\"\n\nThe researchers began to suspect the Yunnan Province gibbons were different\n\nHoolock gibbons are found in Bangladesh, India, China and Myanmar. They spend most of their time living in the treetops, swinging through the forests with their forelimbs, rarely spending any time on the ground.\n\nBut the research team - led by Fan Peng-Fei from Sun Yat-sen University in China - started to suspect that the animals they were studying in China's Yunnan Province were unusual.\n\nAll hoolock gibbons have white eyebrows and some have white beards - but the Chinese primates' markings differed in appearance.\n\nTheir songs, which they use to bond with other gibbons and to mark out their territory, also had an unusual ring.\n\nSo the team carried out a full physical and genetic comparison with other gibbons, which confirmed that the primates were indeed a different species.\n\nThey have been given the scientific name of Hoolock tianxing - but their common name is now the Skywalker hoolock gibbon, thanks to the scientists' taste in films.\n\nThe animals are now known as Skywalker hoolock gibbons\n\nDr Turvey said the team had been studying the animals in the Gaoligongshan nature reserve, but it was not easy.\n\n\"It's difficult to get into the reserve. You have to hike up to above 2,500m to find the gibbons. That's where the good quality forest usually starts - everywhere below there has been logged.\n\n\"Then you have to wake up really early in the morning and you listen out for the haunting song of the gibbons, which carries in the forest canopy.\n\n\"And when you hear it, you rush through the mud and the mist, and run for hundreds of metres to try and catch up with these gibbons.\"\n\nThe researchers estimate that there are about 200 of the Skywalker gibbons living in China - and also some living in neighbouring Myanmar, although the population size there is currently unknown.\n\nThe team warns that the primates are at risk of extinction.\n\n\"The low number of surviving animals and the threat they face from habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and hunting means we think they should be classified as an endangered species,\" said Dr Turvey.\n\nIn response to the news, actor Mark Hamill - the original Luke Skywalker - said on Twitter that he was so proud to have a new jungle Jedi named after his character.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The claim: Levels of inequality in the UK have been getting worse.\n\nReality Check verdict: Official figures suggest that income distribution has become less unequal over the past decade.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday morning that he would be interested in a cap on earnings, because \"we cannot go on creating worse levels of inequality\".\n\nCoincidentally, Tuesday morning also saw the release of the annual report on income inequality from the Office for National Statistics.\n\nIt said that there had been a gradual decline in income inequality over the past decade.\n\nIt is using the Gini Coefficient, which is a measure of inequality - in this case, a coefficient of zero would mean that all households had the same income while 100 would mean that one household had all the income.\n\nThese figures are for disposable income, which is what you get after you've added benefits and subtracted direct taxes such as income tax and council tax.\n\nThere are caveats around these figures - they are based on surveys, so there is a margin of error, and it is particularly difficult to get survey responses from people at the top of the income distribution.\n\nBut the official figures suggest that there was a considerable increase in inequality in the 1980s, relatively little change from the early 1990s to mid-2000s and then a gradual decline in the past decade, returning the UK to the same level of inequality as was seen in the mid-1980s.\n\nSo from these figures it would be wrong to conclude that inequality has been getting worse.\n\nWhat could be missing from this analysis? The ONS looks at inequality across the whole population - there has also been much interest in comparing the richest 1% or 0.1% with the rest of the population.\n\nThe World Top Incomes Database (which you can see in figure 3 of this blog) suggests that since 1990 there has been relatively little change in the share of income taken by the richest 20% or 10% of the population.\n\nThe richest 1% and the richest 0.1% had seen their share of income rising steadily until the financial crisis, but it has fallen since then. So once again, inequality has not been growing.\n\nThe measures identified so far have been looking at income rather than wealth.\n\nIt is also possible to calculate Gini coefficients for wealth, although the latest official figures for it covered only up to the middle of 2014.\n\nFrom 2006 to 2014, there was a small increase in overall wealth inequality, with property wealth having the biggest effect.\n\nHousing costs are a particular issue - the Department for Work and Pensions calculates a Gini coefficient for income distribution that takes housing costs into account.\n\nThe difference it makes is that inequality increases in 2013-14, although it is still below pre-financial crisis levels.\n\nNone of this suggests that inequality does not exist in the UK or that it is not a problem or indeed that it is not worse than in other countries, but there is little evidence that it has been getting worse in the UK in the past decade.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "An amateur sailor has beaten an Olympic medallist to the 'yachtsman of the year' award after rescuing five crew from a stricken vessel.\n\nGavin Reid, who grew up in Scotland, swam to the aid of another yacht in the south Pacific Ocean.\n\nThe 28 year old had been taking part in the Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Yacht Race when he responded to the SOS call.\n\nOne man had been trapped on the mast for nine hours and was only freed after Gavin spent two hours untangling the lines.\n\nThe Yachting Journalists' Association has recognised the feat and named him 'yachtsman of the year', ahead of Olympian Giles Scott.", "Barack Obama sealed his racial legacy the moment he sealed victory in the 2008 election - a black man would occupy a White House built by slaves, a history-defying as well as history-making achievement.\n\nIn 1961, the year of Obama's birth, there existed in the American South a system of racial apartheid that separated the races from the cradle to the grave.\n\nIn some states, his very conception - involving an African father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas - would have been a criminal offence.\n\nWhen in the 1950s, a former TV executive by the name of E Frederic Morrow became the first black White House aide not to have a job description that included turning down beds, polishing shoes or serving drinks with a deferential bow, he was prohibited from ever being alone in the same room as a white woman.\n\nBack then, as Morrow recounted in his memoir, Black Man in the White House, African-Americans were routinely stereotyped as sexual predators incapable of controlling their desires.\n\nLittle more than half a century later, a black man ran the White House - occupying the Oval Office, sitting at the head of the conference table in the Situation Room, relaxing with his beautiful young family in the Executive Mansion - a family that has brought such grace and glamour to America's sleepy capital that it is possible to speak of a Black Camelot.\n\nPresident and first lady on the first day of his presidency\n\nWhen Jack and Jackie Kennedy lived in the White House, that would have been unthinkable, even though the civil rights movement was starting to hammer more insistently at the walls of prejudice, and seeking legal and legislative redress for a malignant national condition described as the \"American dilemma\".\n\nWhen demonstrators assembled in August 1963 to hear Martin Luther King deliver his I Have a Dream Speech at the Lincoln Memorial, few would have thought that a black man would one day take the oath of office at the other end of the National Mall.\n\nLikewise, how many of the protesters bludgeoned by white policemen on Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma in 1965 would have dared to imagine that, 50 years later, they would cross that same bridge hand in hand with the country's first black president?\n\nFor veterans of the black struggle, those remarkable images of Obama marking the 50th anniversary of the Selma protest became instantly iconographic, a truly golden jubilee.\n\nIn legacy terms, his very presence in the White House is one of the great intangibles of his presidency. Just how many black Americans have been encouraged to surmount colour bars of their own? Just how many young African-Americans have altered the trajectory of their lives because of the example set by Obama?\n\nAnd behaviourally, what an example it has been. Because of the lingering racism in American society, the Obamas doubtless knew they would have to reach a higher standard, and they have done so, seemingly, without breaking a sweat. In deportment and personal conduct, it is hard to recall a more impressive or well-rounded First Family.\n\nThe \"when they go low, we go high\" approach to racists who questioned his citizenship has made the Obamas look even more classy.\n\nHis family's dignity in the face of such ugliness recalls the poise of black sit-in protesters in the early 60s, who refused to relinquish their seats at segregated restaurants and lunch counters even as white thugs poured sugar and ketchup over their heads, and punched, kicked and spat at them.\n\nYet racial firsts, of the kind achieved by Barack Hussein Obama, can present a distorted view of history and convey a misleading sense of progress. They are, by their very nature, a singular achievement, a milestone indicative of black advance rather than a destination point.\n\nHollywood did not become colourblind the moment in 1964 that Sidney Poitier became the first black man to win best actor at the Academy Awards any more than discrimination ended in the justice system when Thurgood Marshall first donned the billowing robes of a Supreme Court jurist.\n\nYears after Poitier's win, black acting success at the Oscars continued to elude many\n\nAmerica's racial problems have not melted away merely because Obama has spent eight years in the White House. Far from it.\n\nIndeed, the insurmountable problem for Obama was that he reached the mountaintop on day one of his presidency.\n\nAchieving anything on the racial front that surpassed becoming the country's first black president was always going to be daunting. Compounding that problem were the unrealistically high expectations surrounding his presidency.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Barack Obama: What would he have done differently?\n\nHis election triumph is 2008 was also misinterpreted as an act of national atonement for the original sin of slavery and the stain of segregation.\n\nYet Obama did not win the election because he was a black man. It was primarily because a country facing an economic crisis and embroiled in two unpopular wars was crying out for change.\n\nDoubtless there have been substantive reforms. His two black attorneys general, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, have revitalised the work of the justice department's civil rights division, which was dormant during the Bush years.\n\nThe Affordable Healthcare Act, or Obamacare, as it was inevitably dubbed, cut the black uninsured rate by a third.\n\nPartly in a bid to reverse the rate of black incarceration, he has commuted the sentences of hundreds of prisoners - 10 times the number of his five predecessors added together.\n\nAs well as calling for the closure of private prisons, he became the first president to visit a federal penitentiary. \"There but for the grace of God,\" said a man who had smoked pot and dabbled with cocaine in his youth.\n\nJanitor Fred Thomas shows off his Obama subway fare card in Washington in 2009\n\nEarly on, he used the bully pulpit of the presidency to assail black absentee fathers, and, more latterly, spoke out against police brutality. But that record of accomplishment looks rather meagre when compared to the drama of hearing \"Hail to the Chief\" accompany the arrival of a black man on the presidential stage.\n\nRace relations have arguably become more polarised and tenser since 20 January 2009. Though smaller in scale and scope, the demonstrations sparked by police shootings of unarmed black men were reminiscent of the turbulence of the 1960s.\n\nThe toxic cloud from the tear gas unleashed in Ferguson and elsewhere cast a long and sometimes overwhelming shadow. Not since the LA riots in 1992 - the violent response to the beating of Rodney King and the later acquittal of the police officers filmed assaulting him - has the sense of black grievance and outrage been so raw.\n\nHistorians will surely be struck by what looks like an anomaly, that the Obama years gave rise to a movement called Black Lives Matter.\n\nPublic opinion surveys highlight this racial restlessness. Not long after he took office in 2009, a New York Times/CBS News poll suggested two-thirds of Americans regarded race relations as generally good. In the midst of last summer's racial turbulence, that poll found there had been a complete reversal. Now 69% of Americans assessed race relations to be mostly bad.\n\nAn oft-heard criticism of Obama is that he has failed to bring his great rhetorical skills to bear on the American dilemma, and prioritised the LGBT community's campaign for equality at the expense of the ongoing black struggle.\n\nBut while he was happy to cloak himself in the mantle of America's first black president, he did not set out to pursue a black presidency. He did not want his years in office to be defined by his skin colour.\n\nThe impact of Obama's presence in the White House on a black generation is impossible to calculate\n\nAs a candidate, he often left others to attach racial meaning to his candidacy, rather than doing so himself.\n\nHis famed race speech in the 2008 primary campaign, when his friendship with a fiery black preacher threatened to derail his candidacy, was as much about his white heritage as his black.\n\nThis remained true when he won election. Besides, there were pressing problems to deal with, not least rescuing the American economy in the midst of the Great Recession and extricating US forces from two long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nEarly on in his presidency, his efforts at racial mediation also seemed ham-fisted. The \"beer summit\" at the White House, when he brought together the black Harvard academic Henry Louis Gates and the white police officer who had arrested him on the porch of his own home in an affluent suburb of Boston, all seemed rather facile.\n\nA clumsy photo-opportunity rather than a teachable moment. Obama, one sensed, wanted to speak out more forcefully - initially he said the Cambridge police \"acted stupidly\" - but his political cautiousness reined him in.\n\nSeemingly, he did not want to come across to the public as a black man in the White House.\n\nRather in those early years, it was as if he was trying to position himself as a neutral arbiter in racial matters, though one sensed his preference was for not intervening at all.\n\nAs his presidency went on, however, it became more emphatically black. He spoke out more passionately and more intimately.\n\nTelling reporters that his son would have looked like Trayvon Martin, the unarmed high school student shot dead in Florida by a neighbourhood watch coordinator, was a departure.\n\nThis new, more candid approach culminated in Charleston, South Carolina, when Obama delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Reverend Clementa Pinckney, the black preacher slain, along with eight other worshippers, by a white supremacist at a bible study class at the Emanuel American Methodist Episcopal church.\n\nThat afternoon he spoke, as he often does in front of mainly black audiences, with a cadence that almost ventriloquised the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and ended, electrifyingly, by singing Amazing Grace.\n\nThe acquittal of Martin's killer led to the creation of Black Lives Matter\n\nThat month he seemed to be at the height of his powers.\n\nThe Confederate flag, a symbol for many of black subordination, was about to brought down in the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol because the Charleston gunman Dylann Roof had brandished it so provocatively.\n\nObamacare had withstood a Supreme Court challenge. On the morning that he flew to Charleston, the Supreme Court decreed same-sex marriage would be legal in every state. Progressivism seemed to have triumphed. Obama seemed to have vanquished many of his foes.\n\nBut that month Donald Trump had also announced his improbable bid for the White House, and the forces of conservatism were starting to rally behind an outspoken new figurehead, who sensed that nativism, xenophobia and fear of the other would be central to his electoral appeal.\n\nThat America's first black president will be followed by the untitled leader of the Birther movement, a candidate slow to disavow support from the Ku Klux Klan and happy to receive the backing of white nationalists, Donald Trump can easily be portrayed as a personal repudiation and also proof of racial regression.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe truth, though, is more complicated.\n\nObama is ending his presidency with some of his highest personal approval ratings, and clearly believes he would have beaten Trump in a head-to-head contest. Moreover, although Trump won decisively in the electoral college, almost three million people more voted for Hillary Clinton nationwide.\n\nIn judging the mood of the country, the 2016 election hardly produced a clear-cut result that lends itself to neat analysis.\n\nWhat Trump's election does look to have done, however, is end Obama's hopes of being a transformative president, not least because of the proposed rollback of his signature healthcare reform.\n\nTruly transformative presidents, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, enact reforms, like social security, that become part of the nation's fabric rather than being ripped apart. If Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress get their way, Obamacare will be shredded.\n\nNor has he been transformative in the attitudinal sense. Indeed, Trump's victory, messy though it was, can easily be viewed partly as a \"whitelash\".\n\nMuch of his earliest and strongest support came from so-called white nationalists, who saw in his candidacy the chance to reassert white cultural and racial dominance. Some of the loudest cheers at his rallies came in response his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim invectives.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Millennials worry about what's in store for the next generation of black Americans\n\nTrump's message, from the moment he announced his candidacy to the final tweets of his insurgent campaign, was aimed primarily at white America.\n\nThe billionaire's victory also makes it harder to view Obama as a transitional president. Eight years ago, it was tempting to cast the country's first black president as the leader who would oversee a peaceable demographic shift from a still strongly Caucasian America - the last census showed that 62.6% of US citizens are white - to a more ethnically diffuse nation.\n\nBut the talk now is of walls, not human bridges.\n\nOf course, the notion that Obama would usher in a post-racial America was always fanciful, and a claim wisely he steered clear of himself. For all his cries of \"Yes we can,\" he was never that naïve.\n\nA young visitor to the Oval Office asks Obama if his hair feels like his, in 2009\n\nBut the black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a persuasive case that Obama has always been overly optimistic on race, in large part because he did not have a conventional black upbringing.\n\nHis formative years were spent in Hawaii, America's most racially integrated state, and the whites he encountered, namely his mother and grandparents, were doting and loving.\n\nObama was not the victim of discrimination in the same way as a black kid growing up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or even New York or Illinois. As a result, he may have underestimated the forces that would seek to paralyse his presidency and to impede racial advance more broadly.\n\nThe president has said repeatedly since election night that the result proves that history is not linear but rather takes a zig-zagging course.\n\nCaught in the act, asleep in the White House\n\nHe is also fond of paraphrasing Martin Luther King's famed line that the arc of history bends towards justice. However, that curvature has veered off in a wholly unexpected direction.\n\nBesides, even to talk of arcs of history at this moment of such national uncertainty seems inapt.\n\nFor as we enter the final days of the Obama presidency, the more accurate descriptor of race relations is a fault-line - the most angry fault-line in US politics and American life, and one that continues to rumble away, threatening small explosions at any time.\n\nFrom Obama we expected seismic change of a more positive kind.\n\nAnd although it was a presidency that began atop a mountain, it ended in something of a valley.", "Last updated on .From the section Disability Sport\n\nCycling chiefs were warned that giving seven weeks' notice for the Para-Cycling Track World Championships could affect attendance, British Paralympic champion Sarah Storey has revealed.\n\nGoverning body the UCI announced on Monday the event will take place in Los Angeles from 2-5 March.\n\n\"All these things were posted to the UCI to advise them, but they decided to still go ahead,\" she said.\n\n\"Some people may not even get a visa if they have the finance to travel.

Before he relocates to Washington's posh Kalorama neighbourhood, however, here's a take on what he tried to do - and how well he did it.\n\nAlthough there are letter grades attached to each section, these assessments are not a reflection of the wisdom of his actions, only in how well he was able to advance his agenda over the course of his presidency.\n\nWhile a liberal might give his environmental policy high marks, a conservative would likely flunk him. What can't be argued, however, is that he accomplished a considerable amount during his eight years.\n\nGoing unmeasured are a number of Mr Obama's intangible or indirect accomplishments.\n\nWhile the White House sported rainbow-colouring the night after gay marriage became legal nationwide, that was the result of a Supreme Court decision not presidential action. And while Mr Obama often spoke movingly about race relations in the US, particularly after the shooting at a black church in South Carolina, there was little in the way of policy elements accompanying his words.\n\nMr Obama does have an ample record to judge, however. Here's a look at eight key areas - along with consideration of their \"Trump-ability\" - how easy it will be for incoming president Donald Trump to undo what Mr Obama has accomplished.\n\nTell Anthony on Twitter @awzurcher how you would grade Barack Obama's presidency.\n\nComprehensive healthcare reform had been the Democratic Party's holy grail for decades, always seemingly just out of reach. Under Mr Obama, they finally claimed the prize.\n\nDue to an electoral setback in the Senate before the bill's final passage, however, the massive piece of legislation was a half-baked cake, making implementation a challenge. The federal healthcare insurance marketplace website, essentially unusable for months after launch, was a very visible, politically devastating mistake.\n\nTo the surprise of Democrats, many Republican-controlled states opted not to expand Medicaid healthcare coverage for the poor. More recently, insurance premiums for exchange-based policies will increase markedly in some US states - which will be a financial blow to less affluent Americans not covered by government subsidies.\n\nMuch of the law operated as intended, however. The percentage of Americans without insurance dropped from 15.7% in 2011 to to 9.1% in 2015. More than 8.8 million Americans have signed up for coverage through the federal exchange in the current enrolment period - a record high. Insurers can't deny individuals coverage for their pre-existing medical conditions, and there are no lifetime dollar caps on coverage.\n\nDespite its shortcomings, passage of the Affordable Care Act, in the words of Vice-President Joe Biden, was a big expletive-ing deal.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans have been trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act from the moment Mr Obama signed it into law. Mr Trump regularly condemned the programme as a failure. Now, Republicans are setting the wheels in motion to tear up the reforms \"root and branch\", in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's words.\n\nRepublicans will be able to shred the programme even with their slim majority in the Senate thanks to presidential authority and legislative manoeuvres.\n\nEnacting a replacement plan, however, will be more difficult. At the moment, they seem determined to jump off the repeal bridge without figuring out exactly where they will land, but Mr Trump has cautioned his congressional colleagues to be careful with how they go about the task.\n\nMr Obama's administration helped negotiate the Paris climate agreement, in which the US joined 185 countries in pledging to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It enacted a host of new regulations governing pollution from coal-fired power plants and limiting coal mining and oil and gas drilling both on federal lands and in coastal waters. Mr Obama also used his executive authority to designate 548 million acres of territory as protected habitat - more than any prior president.\n\nThe past eight years weren't without missed opportunities, however. Early in his administration, when Democrats had large majorities in Congress, the House of Representatives passed a stringent cap-and-trade programme for controlling carbon emissions. The Senate focused on financial and healthcare reform first, however, and the Democratic majority was gone before they could take action.\n\nThat may be as close as Democrats come to any sort of comprehensive environmental legislation for a great many years.\n\nTrump-ability: US participation in the Paris accord is still uncertain given that the president-elect promised to abandon it. While the withdrawal procedure is supposed to take four years, Mr Trump's team is reportedly searching for ways to speed up the process.\n\nOther Obama-era executive accomplishments, however, will be more difficult to roll back. Proposed regulatory changes will require an extended approval process and are sure to face a flurry of lawsuits from environmental groups. Congress could speed things up, but Democrats in the Senate have enough votes to block their efforts if they stick together.\n\nMr Obama made completion of two major trade agreements - the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - the cornerstone of his second term in office.\n\nThe TPP is destined for the dustbin without even consideration by the US Congress, thanks to a coalition of opposition from Democratic left and the economic nationalists who are sweeping to power with Mr Trump.\n\nThe TTIP, which is still in negotiation and attempts to reduce trade barriers between the US and the EU, is being abandoned by politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nThe Obama administration did successfully implement free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and South Korea, but they are dwarfed by the size and scope of the now-doomed regional deals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump can and will give a death blow to any hopes Mr Obama may have had of cementing a lasting trade legacy through the TPP and TTIP. More than that, the new president is poised to roll back the trade legacies of previous presidents, as he's pledged to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement - which was concluded under President Bill Clinton - or perhaps even withdraw from the deal entirely.\n\nHis promises to enact draconian import tariffs on some foreign goods would also run counter to US commitments to the World Trade Organization, which could undermine the entire foundation of the current global trade regime.\n\nWhen Mr Obama took office, the US economy was in freefall. Unemployment had spiked to double digits, housing prices had collapsed and the financial industry teetered on the brink of collapse.\n\nThe picture eight years later is one of stability and modest growth, although critics will argue that things could be better (and blue-collar Trump voters in the industrial states seemed to agree).\n\nPolicy-wise, Mr Obama pushed through a major stimulus package and financial reform legislation early in his first term. His administration oversaw a support structure that saved General Motors from a bankruptcy that would have devastated the US auto industry.\n\nThe Home Affordable Refinance Program, run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, allowed several million US homeowners to avoid foreclosure and refinance high-interest mortgages.\n\nThe president negotiated an agreement that rolled back many of the George W Bush era tax cuts in exchange for across-the-board spending freezes. He frequently called for a raise in the federal minimum wage, but he was unable to generate any support for such actions in the Republican-controlled Congress.\n\nAlthough the stock market is reaching new highs, 2015 household income is still below what it was in 2007. Considering where his presidency started, however, the current state of economic health is perhaps the president's most noteworthy legacy.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans cutting taxes when they hold power is as certain as the sun rising in the east. Tax-reform, which will likely include a return to Bush-era rates along with even more substantive changes, appear all but certain for passage. Mr Obama's financial reform legislation also could be poised for weakening, as it was frequently the target of Mr Trump's anti-regulation ire.\n\nAlthough conservatives liked to criticise Mr Obama's efforts to bolster US companies as \"picking winners and losers\", early evidence (Carrier, Ford Motors, etc) indicates that's one tradition Mr Trump appears likely to continue, albeit with a sharper edge for businesses that don't comply to his wishes.\n\nMr Obama will leave the White House with two prominent feathers in his foreign policy cap - the Iran nuclear deal and normalised relations with Cuba. Say what you will about the merits of the accomplishments (and many have), they represent a notable thawing in relations between the US and two long-time antagonists.\n\nHe also oversaw the drawdown of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan - fulfilling a key campaign promise.\n\nElsewhere, however, the president's international policy has been characterised by strained relations and festering problems. His planned \"reset\" of US-Russian relations upon taking office was followed by the nation's Ukrainian intervention and allegations of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.\n\nThe Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010 spread unrest throughout the Middle East, culminating in a Syrian Civil War that facilitated the rise of the so-called Islamic State and a devastating refugee crisis that has roiled European politics.\n\nNorth Korea continues to develop its nuclear weapons programme seemingly undeterred, and Mr Obama's plans for an \"Asian pivot\" in US foreign policy have done little to keep Chinese regional ambitions in check.\n\nResponsibility for this global unrest can't all be laid at Mr Obama's feet, of course, but it's a mark on his permanent record nonetheless.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump has criticised the Iranian nuclear deal, although unlike some other Republicans he hasn't vowed to abandon it entirely. He may find renegotiating the multi-party agreement more difficult than he might think. As for Cuba, he has the executive authority to roll back all of Mr Obama's diplomatic overtures to the communist island, including relaxed sanctions and travel restrictions - although he's kept his options open so far.\n\nThe president-elect also seems more likely to favour closer relations to Israel and a renewed attempt at improving relations with Russia (a re-reset). In Syria, he has criticised Mr Obama's actions but hasn't advocated a coherent counter-policy, so there's no telling how - or if - he'll change course.\n\nOne thing is for certain, however. At least rhetorically the Trump administration will be a marked departure from Mr Obama's internationalist foreign policy, which leaned heavily on co-operation and co-ordination with allies.\n\nThe long-term trend of declining crime rates continued over the past eight years, although a number of large cities have seen a recent uptick in their murder rates. While public safety was a 2016 campaign issue, much of Mr Obama's efforts while president were directed at criminal justice reform.\n\nIn 2010 he signed a law that brought the mandatory minimum prison time for crack cocaine possession - which disproportionately involves black drug offenders - more in line with powder cocaine sentences.\n\nIn January 2016, Mr Obama took a series of executive actions to limit the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons and provide greater treatment for inmates with mental health issues. He has also used his presidential power to commute the sentences of more than 1,000 non-violent drug offenders and supported a Justice Department policy that resulted in the early release of about 6,000 individuals.\n\nAlthough Mr Obama has backed bipartisan sentencing reform legislation in Congress, the 2016 presidential election - and Mr Trump's tough-on-crime rhetoric - has been attributed with frustrating those efforts.\n\nGun control wasn't a top priority for Mr Obama when he took office, but in the early months of his second term - after the 2012 mass shooting of schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut - Mr Obama made a strong push for greater restrictions on some types of military-style semi-automatic rifles and more thorough background checks for firearm purchases.\n\nThose efforts ran head-on into the National Rifle Association's formidable lobbying power, however, and aside from a few executive actions, no new policies were enacted. In 2015, Mr Obama told the BBC that his failure in this area was his greatest frustration as president.\n\nTrump-ability: Given that Mr Trump regularly painted a bleak picture of crime levels in the US, lamented that law enforcement was too constrained by \"political correctness\" and opined that prison inmates were being treated too well, it's safe to say he will pursue a decidedly different course on public safety than Mr Obama.\n\nSentencing reform - in limbo for the past year - will be an exceedingly low priority for Republicans in Congress now, and Mr Obama's gun-control executive actions are likely to face the chopping block.\n\nThere was a point, shortly after Mr Obama's re-election in 2012, where comprehensive immigration reform seemed inevitable.\n\nThe president and his fellow Democrats were in favour, and rattled Republicans saw granting permanent residency to some undocumented workers and streamlining the US immigration system as a means to curry favour with the growing bloc of Hispanic voters.\n\nA grass-roots revolt within the Republican Party derailed those plans, prompting Mr Obama to take a series of executive actions providing normalised status to undocumented immigrants who entered the US as children and the immigrant families of US citizens and permanent residents. (The latter policy has since been suspended during a protracted legal battle over its constitutionality.)\n\nWhile these efforts attracted widespread praise from pro-immigration activists and Hispanic groups, the Obama administration's policy of increasing removal of other undocumented immigrants has prompted some to call him the \"deporter in chief\".\n\nFrom 2009 to 2015, the Obama administration deported more than 2.5 million people - most of whom had been convicted of some form of criminal offence or were recent arrivals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump may very well drop the US defence of the portion of Mr Obama's immigration action that's currently under legal challenge. He could also unilaterally resume deportation of others given normalised status by Mr Obama's executive efforts, although that will be more controversial.\n\nThe president-elect has pledged to deport more than three million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US - including visitors who have overstayed their visas - although given Mr Obama's track record it may be a difference of extent, not substance.\n\nAt one point, Mr Trump was pledging to remove everyone not lawfully in the US - more than 11 million by most estimates - which would be a marked departure not just from Mr Obama's policies but those of every modern US president.\n\nWhatever his other successes during his time in office, Mr Obama's presidency was a beating for the Democratic Party.\n\nIn 2009, when Mr Obama was swept to power, Democrats had large majorities in the US Congress and control of 29 of 50 governorships. Since then, he has seen his party's power steadily erode. The House of Representatives has been in Republican hands since 2010; the Senate since 2014. Democrats control the governor's mansion in only 16 states.\n\nThe situation is even more dire in state legislatures - the proving grounds for young politicians with national ambitions. Republicans hold sway in 32 legislatures, while Democrats have majorities in only 12 (the rest are divided).\n\nIf the party doesn't make inroads in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin by 2020, those legislatures will draw congressional district maps that make recapturing the House of Representatives a tall task for Democrats for another decade.\n\nMr Obama's political constituency - young voters and minorities - proved enough to win him the presidency twice, but it was a fragile coalition that could not be counted on in mid-term congressional and legislative elections or, for that matter, by Hillary Clinton last year.\n\nWhile Mr Obama can boast considerable accomplishments over his eight years in office, if his party can't regain its footing after a string of devastating electoral setbacks, he won't have any legacy worth writing about before too long.\n\nTrump-ability: Barring a major political realignment in the liberal fortress of California, things can't get much worse for Democrats at the state level. In Congress, however, Mr Trump has a decent shot at expanding the Republican Senate majority in 2018, given that Democrats have to defend 10 seats in states that Mr Trump won last year.\n\nThere's always the chance that Republicans could overreach in their efforts to enact their agenda. An economic decline or foreign policy fiasco could tank Mr Trump's approval rating and make winners of even unlikely Democrats.\n\nThe durability of Mr Trump's own political coalition of disaffected working-class whites, evangelicals and other traditional Republican voters is still an open question as well. While Republicans may feel the future belongs to them, when Mr Trump's time in the Oval Office comes to an end, there's no telling what kind of grades will his legacy receive.", "US Democrats say that President-elect Trump's plans to employ his son-in-law as a special adviser may be in breach of anti-nepotism laws.\n\nHistory is littered with examples of people giving out - and just being accused of giving out - jobs to their nearest and dearest.

Yes, City had a penalty shout and a couple of half-chances in the first half but at the moment, if you get back into shape against them and close off the gaps, then it is also easy to keep them out.\n\nCity's tempo when they come forward is not always quick enough. They are pretty predictable in attack and, in the Premier League, they are finding it hard to score goals against well-organised defences.\n\nThat means more pressure is being heaped on their own back four. Against Everton, they could not cope.\n\nStones not to blame for City's struggles\n\nIt would be very easy to come out after watching City lose 4-0 and say they were wide open at the back, and John Stones had a nightmare on his return to his old club.\n\nBut Stones was probably the best player in City's back four - it is the others who let him down, massively.\n\nIf you look at the four goals that City conceded against Everton, Nicolas Otamendi and Gael Clichy both make errors that lead to three of them. Stones was not at fault for any of them.\n\nEverton scored their first, second and fourth goals because either Otamendi or Clichy got their basic defensive positioning and decision making wrong.\n\nThat is not down to Guardiola's system or the way he sets his team up, it comes down to the mentality of his players, and them being alert and aware of danger - I am talking about things like their reaction time, staying in line with the rest of their back-four and staying with runners from the opposition team.\n\nFor example, with Everton's fourth goal, Stones will get criticised because his clearance was charged down and led to Ademola Lookman scoring.\n\nBut Otamendi was on his heels and not even thinking about defending when Stones went over to the left to clear. Yes, the ball dropped nicely for Lookman but Otamendi should have been ready for that.\n\nThe fact he wasn't is not down to Stones, but he seems to be getting the blame.\n\nIt seems to happen a lot. Stones has got unbelievable ability but he seems to have been carrying the can all season whenever City have conceded goals, no matter what their other defenders do.\n\nThat is partly because he is a £50m signing and an England international, and partly because of the way he tries to play as a skilful centre-half - which is the way Guardiola wants him to play.\n\nGoals are going in easily against Bravo\n\nStones aside, it seems to me there are fundamental problems with City's defence.\n\nClaudio Bravo is one of them - it looks like people are playing City and thinking if they hit the target, they will score.\n\nTo win the league title, you need a goalkeeper who will make important saves. Look at all the champions over the last 10 or 20 years and you will find keepers who are worth around nine to 12 points a season to them with the stops they make.\n• None Listen: The Times' Henry Winter on why City are missing Joe Hart\n\nThat is not the case with Bravo at City. I saw him play in Spain when I was with Valencia last season and he is a fantastic keeper but the goals are going in very easily against him at the moment.\n\nIt is not even as if they are all going into the corners of the net - Bravo is being beaten in the central areas of his goal too.\n\nHe is definitely struggling in English football, with the speed, the intensity and the physicality of our game, and teams are 100% targeting him.\n\nHis confidence has taken a hit, which is inevitable, and it obviously does not help when you concede with the first shot you face in a game, which is what happened at Everton.\n\nAs a defender, when your keeper is letting in a lot of the shots you face - in Bravo's case, 14 of the last 22 shots on target over City's last eight games - then you lose a bit of confidence in him too.\n\nHow does Bravo's shot-save ratio compare to goalkeepers at the other top-six clubs?\n\nThe whole back-four are aware that, if you make a mistake, it will end up in a goal. You have no margin for error, and it makes people nervous.\n\nIt is the complete opposite to the confidence you feel when you have got a reliable keeper behind you, who you know can make saves that will get you out of trouble.\n\nWhat next? City will not just roll over\n\nThis City team looks like it is a work in progress for Pep, because City are nowhere near where he wants them to be.\n\nI don't think they can win the Premier League this season, but they will still be there or thereabouts in the top four. They are not just going to roll over.\n\nCity got badly beaten by Leicester in December and responded with an important win over Arsenal in their next game.\n\nThey will have to show a similar spirit, and put in an improved display, when they play Tottenham next weekend.\n\nIt is another massive game for them, but they are capable of coming back this time too.", "Dozens of migrants have died in the extreme cold weather across Europe, with many said to be refusing shelter due to the risk of deportation.", "Last updated on .From the section Cricket\n\nA Virat Kohli masterclass helped India complete the highest successful chase in a one-day international against England and seal a three-wicket win.\n\nChasing 351, India were reduced to 63-4 in Pune before Kohli, who made 122, and Kedar Jadhav (120) shared 200.\n\nIndia completed the joint-fourth best run chase of all time in 48.1 overs.\n\nBen Stokes earlier struck a 40-ball 62 as England took 105 from their final eight overs, but they still went behind in the three-match series.\n\nIt is a demoralising result, coming after a 4-0 defeat in the Test series, and extends England's dismal record in India to only three wins in 24 ODIs.\n\nThough England racked up their highest score against India, they could arguably have had even more - Jason Roy and Joe Root failed to make really big scores after good starts - and were taught a lesson by chasing specialist Kohli, who somehow overshadowed Jadhav's 65-ball century.\n\nKing Kohli does it again\n\nKohli is peerless in the history of ODIs when it comes to run chases. His 17th second-innings ton matches the record of Sachin Tendulkar, in 136 fewer knocks, while his average when India successfully pursue a score is 90.90.\n\nThis, though, in his first match since being appointed one-day captain, was perhaps his greatest effort, guiding India to their joint-second-highest chase.\n\nWhen England's pace bowlers ran through the top order, he looked to be playing a lone hand, with effortless drives on both sides of the wicket and breathless running.\n\nLater, in the company of Jadhav, he found ways to hit some extraordinary sixes over the leg side, the fourth of his five maximums overall bringing up his 27th ODI century.\n\nThe biggest surprise was that he did not complete the job, miscuing a Stokes slower ball to David Willey at cover and sending a raucous and partisan Pune silent.\n\nFor all of Kohli's brilliance, this game would not have been won without the efforts of Jadhav, a 31-year-old playing only his 13th ODI, on his home ground.\n\nThe right-hander's counter-attacking reversed the momentum and he actually contributed 102 of the 200 runs he shared with the skipper for the fifth wicket.\n\nThey rendered the England attack impotent, only Chris Woakes went for an economy rate of under 6.7 an over, with Adil Rashid and Stokes particularly wayward.\n\nFavouring the leg side, Jadav's hundred was the sixth fastest by an India batsman in ODIs, but after Kohli fell he struggled with cramp and pulled Jake Ball to deep square leg.\n\nHowever, a nerveless Hardik Pandya made an unbeaten 40 and Ravichandran Ashwin's six off Moeen Ali sealed only the second chase in excess of 350 to be completed inside 49 overs.\n\n'England have got to set their targets higher'\n\n\"We have just seen the definition of intimidatory batting, the way the batters from both sides demolished the attacks.\n\n\"350 should be enough but I've always worried about England's bowling in one-day cricket unless the ball does something.

One of them, Oliver Schmidt, has spent the past few days in a Miami jail. Others may yet find themselves in the firing line.\n\nBut because of this, we now have a very clear idea not only of what Volkswagen was doing wrong, and how it went about it, but also the measures that were taken to conceal that wrongdoing.\n\nAs part of its plea bargain with the US authorities Volkswagen signed up to an agreed \"Statement of Facts\". It draws heavily on the results of an investigation by the law firm Jones Day, commissioned by VW itself.\n\nThe FBI makes further detailed allegations in its criminal complaint against Oliver Schmidt. These have not yet been tested or admitted.\n\nAccording to these documents, the seeds of the scandal were sown in 2006, when VW were designing a new diesel engine for the US market.\n\nSupervisors in the engine department realised they had a problem. They could not design an engine that would meet tough emissions standards due to enter into force in 2007, and at the same time give customers the performance that they wanted.\n\nTheir solution was to ask their engineers to design engine management software which would turn on emissions controls when the car was being tested, and turn them off when it was being driven on the road.\n\nThis 'defeat device' software was able to recognise the standard testing procedure. It was based on a program developed by VW's subsidiary Audi, which engineers had specifically stated should \"absolutely not be used\" in the US.\n\nNot everyone was happy about this, it seems. Engineers \"raised objections to the propriety of the defeat device\" in late 2006.\n\nIn response, a manager decided that production should continue, still using the device. He also \"instructed those in attendance, in sum and substance, not to get caught\".\n\nA similar row broke out the following year, and again, the decision was taken to press on regardless.\n\nSubsequently, the use of the defeat device appears to have become routine.\n\nThe Statement of Facts describes how the software was refined and improved over time.\n\nA spate of breakdowns was blamed on the cars remaining in 'test' mode while being driven on the road. Supervisors worked with engineers to solve the problem, and \"encouraged the further concealment of the software\".\n\nThe engineers were also told to destroy documents relating to the issue.\n\nThe deception came to a head when, in 2014, the California Air Resources Board approached the company to find out why tests had shown that its cars were emitting up to 40 times the permissible amount of nitrogen oxides when driven on the road.\n\nVW supervisors \"determined not to disclose to US regulators that the tested vehicle models operated with a defeat device\". Instead they \"decided to pursue a strategy of concealing the defeat device… while appearing to cooperate\".\n\nThe FBI claims in its criminal complaint against Mr Schmidt - who was a head of compliance at VW's US division from 2012 to 2015 - that the deception eventually went to the very top of the company.\n\nCiting \"co-operative witnesses\" and allegedly corroborating documentation, it claims that the company's executive management in Wolfsburg were briefed on the issue in July 2015. Rather than tell its staff to come clean about the defeat device, it says, \"VW executive management authorized its continued concealment\".\n\nThere is, however, no mention of this meeting in the statement agreed by Volkswagen.\n\nUltimately, Volkswagen's wrongdoing was confirmed to the authorities by a single employee acting \"in direct contravention of instructions from supervisors at VW\". But the deception did not end there.\n\nThe Statement of Facts explains how VW staff were warned by an in-house lawyer that the authorities were about to circulate a so-called \"hold notice\", obliging them to retain and preserve documents under their control.\n\nEngineers were told to \"check their documents\", which several of those present \"understood to mean that they should delete their documents\".\n\nThe message was repeated at a number of subsequent meetings, one of them attended by 30-40 people and ultimately thousands of documents were deleted.\n\nWhen the scandal at Volkswagen first came to light, the company's former US chief executive, Michael Horn blamed \"a couple of software engineers\". It is now clear that many more people were involved, at least some of them in positions of authority, and deliberate attempts were made to cover up wrongdoing.\n\nIt is not hard, then, to see why the US authorities have taken such a tough line with the company. But some questions remain unanswered.\n\nWe still don't know for certain, for example, whether people at board level knew what was going on.\n\nIt's also unclear why the same software that was fitted illegally to 600,000 US vehicles was also present on millions of others sold around the world, including eight million in Europe.\n\nVW continues to maintain that the systems didn't actually break European law - though it is in the process of repairing those vehicles all the same.", "The BBC's Jeremy Bowen walked through the streets of Aleppo from the Umayyad Mosque to city's 13th century Citadel.

Even indoors it's a struggle to find clean air, says John Sudworth.\n\nHaving already taped most of my windows shut, I have now started on the air conditioning vents. The aim is simple - to close off every access point through which the toxic outside air leaks into our Beijing home.\n\nEven our double-glazing doesn't keep out the smog. The most dangerous constituent, particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter - or PM2.5 as it's known - finds a way through the tiniest of gaps where the windows close.\n\nSo the only solution there is duct tape.\n\nIt's like a re-enactment of a 1970s government information film on surviving a nuclear holocaust. Only it's not radiation we're trying to keep at bay, but the fallout from fossil fuels.\n\nThe most useful device in our armoury is our PM2.5 monitor. We have two, one upstairs and one downstairs, which we glance at frequently, and it was their arrival that prompted the frenzy of taping and draught-excluding that continues to this day.\n\nWhen I first arrived in China, five years ago, there was no way of monitoring the quality of air in our home. Like everyone else, we left it to blind faith that our air purifiers were doing the trick.\n\nIt now transpires they weren't. Even now on highly polluted days, we struggle to get our PM2.5 count much below 25 micrograms per cubic meter, the World Health Organization's maximum standard for safe air.\n\nAnd that's with multiple purifiers running at full tilt, large box-like machines that sit in the corner of every room - two in some - the combined noise output of which is akin to living in the engine room of an aircraft carrier.\n\nShoppers look at air purifiers in Beijing\n\nChina's air pollution problem is now so bad that its effects are measured in more than a million premature deaths a year and markedly reduced life expectancy - an average of more than five years or so - in the worst-affected regions.\n\nOver the past few weeks, a period of particularly acute and prolonged air pollution, the average air quality in Beijing has been well above 200 micrograms of PM2.5 particles per cubic metre - many times the maximum safe limit.\n\nDuring the worst of it, it's been like living under house arrest, our children confined to the small, deafening but breathable indoor space of our home for days on end.\n\nAnd across China, the smog becomes a dominant topic on social media, with the population tracking the foulness of the air via mobile phone apps.\n\nOne group of Beijing mothers, armed with their own PM2.5 counters, have even been roaming the city in search of shopping malls or cafes with filtered air - and then sharing their discoveries online.\n\nOf course, humanity's dependence on oil and coal long predate China's economic rise. But China offers a vision of environmental degradation far in excess of the pea-souper fogs of 1950s London or Manchester.\n\nFor much of the past month the cloud of toxic air hanging over this country has extended for thousands of miles, a giant, continent-sized cocktail of soot from coal fired power stations and car exhausts, smothering the lives and filling the lungs of hundreds of millions of people.\n\nWhile growing awareness means that more of them are now taking action to protect their health, many others are either not fully informed about the danger or don't have the means to do much about it.\n\nA set of new filters for a single air purifier can cost £100 ($120) or more and needs changing every six months or so.\n\nIt is, of course, not a problem only of China's making. The smartphones, computers, TV screens, jeans and shoes that have been pouring out of its factories over the past few decades are cheap, in part at least, precisely because they're made without environmental safeguards.\n\nThe interests of the rich world and an unaccountable Chinese Communist elite have neatly dovetailed.

After that we are going to decide.\"\n\nThe former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss insisted he was \"so happy in Manchester\" despite his side sitting fifth, two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.\n• None Analysis: Why defending is not Pep's only problem\n• None Listen: 'City don't have an outstanding goalkeeper at the moment'\n\nGuardiola watched City dominate possession on Merseyside but concede four from the six shots they faced.\n\nOnly five teams have a lower haul than their four clean sheets in the league - BBC Radio 5 live pundit Robbie Savage said City \"cannot defend\" and questioned if Guardiola would now change his style.\n\nCity are the only team in the Premier League to have over 50% of possession in every game this season but they have now conceded from the first shot they have faced in four of their last seven games.\n\nGuardiola added: \"I said to the players be positive because you made some fantastic things during the season and for many reasons we didn't get what I think we deserved.\n\n\"In the bad moments we have to be close. It's awful for my players. We created chances but don't score and when they have a chance, they punish us.\"\n\nEverton scored with their first two shots through Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas, with Tom Davies and Ademola Lookman completing the rout.\n\nStones in the spotlight - again\n\nLookman's goal came after a John Stones clearance was charged down, throwing the young defender again under the spotlight.\n\nIt was Stones' first visit to Goodison Park since leaving Everton for City in a £47.5m deal last summer.\n\nThe 22-year-old has been criticised for making too many mistakes, and former Manchester United and Everton defender Phil Neville believes he is being unfairly singled out.\n\nHowever, fellow pundit Alan Shearer told Match of the Day 2: \"John Stones did have a nightmare. He is 22 now, he has played nearly 100 Premier League games and everyone keeps saying to me and to the rest of the football world, that he is going to be a top player.\n\n\"If I'm a centre forward, a young guy and I keep on missing chances, I don't expect to be in the team. Eventually you are going to get left out.

US intelligence agencies believe the mysterious hacker persona was central to efforts to interfere with last year's American election and responsible for distributing hacked documents that embarrassed the Democratic Party. But now Guccifer 2.0 has broken a two-month silence to deny any connection to Russia. In the run up to Donald Trump's victory, BBC Trending's Mike Wendling struck up an online dialogue with Guccifer 2.0 to try to probe the hacker's motives.\n\nIt turned out that talking to one of the world's most notorious hackers was easier than you might think. Just send him a tweet.\n\nIn the summer of 2016 the hacker, going by the name Guccifer 2.0, leaked a trove of documents from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to Wikileaks, which then made the material public.\n\nThe revelations were embarrassing for the Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and resulted in the resignation of party chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.\n\nAlthough Guccifer 2.0 took his name from a Romanian hacker - the original Guccifer hacked emails belonging to American and Romanian officials, and is currently in prison - suspicion immediately fell on Russia.\n\nMetadata attached to the leaked documents was in Russian not Romanian. Analysts determined that Guccifer 2.0 had used a Russian server. A host of security experts traced the leak to Russian intelligence.\n\nLorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, a journalist with Vice's Motherboard, chatted with the hacker in Romanian in the days after the DNC hack. The problem was, Guccifer didn't seem to speak the language very well.\n\n\"He did answer some questions in Romanian,\" but the answers were very basic, Franceschi-Bicchierai told BBC Trending.\n\n\"I showed those answers to people who did speak Romanian and they all agreed he wasn't a Romanian speaker,\" Franceschi-Bicchierai says. \"We later put the conversation to linguists and not everyone agreed that he was a Russian speaker but he was definitely not a native Romanian speaker.\"\n\nListen to more on this story on BBC Trending radio on the BBC World Service.\n\nDuring our exchanges in October - and until the present day - Guccifer 2.0 continued to deny having anything to do with Russia.\n\nHe also claimed to have more incriminating documents on Hillary Clinton - documents which he urged me to publish.\n\nThe information was sent to me via encrypted email. But despite the cloak-and-dagger presentation, the material was ultimately disappointing - a mishmash of old stories, publically available documents which were rather dull, and others which were obvious forgeries.\n\nI asked him about his motivations. He said he believed that people have the right to know what's going on in the election process.\n\nTrying to get friendly journalists to write sympathetic stories is a common tactic of Russia's online intelligence operations, says Lee Foster of FireEye, one of the big computer security firms which has been looking into the Guccifer 2.0 hacks.\n\n\"This is actually something that we've coined 'direct advocacy',\" Foster says. \"These false hactivists reach out to journalists but also other individuals, security blogs, and so on to get them to publicise the activity that they've been engaged in and sometimes even to spin particular narratives around those leaks as well.\"\n\nFoster says he's highly confident that the Russian authorities are behind the Guccifer persona. For its part, Moscow denies being behind the leaks, and Julian Assange of Wikileaks says Russia wasn't the source of the leaked DNC emails.\n\nAfter that, he stopped responding to my messages.\n\nIn the run-up to the US election in November, Guccifer warned that the Democrats would attempt to rig the vote. But after Donald Trump's victory, he went silent.\n\nLast week US intelligence chiefs released a declassified version of a report which has been presented to President Obama and President-Elect Trump.\n\nOne of the report's key judgements read: \"We assess with high confidence that Russian military intelligence (General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate or GRU) used the Guccifer 2.0 persona and DCLeaks.com to release US victim data obtained in cyber operations publicly and in exclusives to media outlets and relayed material to WikiLeaks.\"\n\nIt added: \"Guccifer 2.0, who claimed to be an independent Romanian hacker, made multiple contradictory statements and false claims about his likely Russian identity throughout the election. Press reporting suggests more than one person claiming to be Guccifer 2.0 interacted with journalists.\"\n\nSo could there be several people involved in operating the Guccifer 2.0 persona? Lee Foster from FireEye believes so.\n\n\"It may be one person who actually looks after the twitter account or it may be part of a team,\" he told Trending. \"But what we certainly can say based on the scale of the activity that we're seeing - that encompasses everything from this initial breach all the way through to the creation of these fake personas to push the information through to the trolling activity trying to push narratives around these leaks - this is not a one person effort. There's quite clearly a concerted and very well resourced and frankly sophisticated operation that is making all of this stuff come together.\"\n\nLate on Thursday, Guccifer broke his two-month silence to respond to the US intelligence agencies report. \"Here I am again, my friends!\" he announced on his blog.\n\n\"I'd like to make it clear enough that these accusations are unfounded,\" the hacker wrote. \"I have totally no relation to the Russian government. I'd like to tell you once again I was acting in accordance with my personal political views and beliefs.\"\n\nSeveral observers noted that Guccifer's English had markedly improved.\n\nDonald Trump has promised a full report on hacking within 90 days of taking office.\n\nLee Foster from FireEye says we shouldn't get too hung up on the Guccifer 2.0 brand.\n\n\"What doesn't really matter here is the personas themselves. What matters is to what extent does type of activity continue and potentially expand as well. We're already on the trolling side seeing a redirection towards European elections coming up, particularly France and Germany in 2017,\" he says.\n\nAfter the report, and his blog re-emergence, I tried once more to contact Guccifer 2.0 on Twitter.\n\nNext story: 'Why I dropped the case against the man who groped me'\n\nSamya Gupta, a 21-year-old law student from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, was napping on a seat near the back of a bus when she felt something on her breasts.

She faded into obscurity - but her great-grandson, who created Downton Abbey, has put her back in the spotlight.\n\nWhen 17-year-old Ivy Close charmed the country in the first nationwide beauty competition, the press swooned over her \"exquisite loveliness\".\n\nPart of her prize - along with a new Rover motorcar - was to have her portrait exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.\n\nThat picture, showing Close with rosy cheeks and wispy curls, also took up the entire front page of the Daily Mirror - which had run the contest - on 4 May 1908.\n\nIvy Close beat 15,000 other entrants to win the Daily Mirror's beauty contest\n\n\"She's effectively the first British beauty queen,\" says her great-grandson Gareth Neame, a Bafta-winning TV producer who came up with the concept for Downton and made The Hollow Crown and Hotel Babylon.\n\n\"And there was then a competition between the winner in Britain and the winner in the US, and she ended up winning that one. So I often say she was effectively the first ever Miss World.\"\n\nThe portrait, by Sir Arthur Hacker, has now been restored thanks to a donation from Mr Neame and is hanging in the refurbished Ferens Art Gallery in Hull, which reopened on Friday to coincide with Hull becoming UK City of Culture.\n\nIt is a return to the limelight for one of Britain's first modern celebrities, whose career took the firework trajectory that has been followed by many celebrities over the decades since.\n\nBorn in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, Close beat 15,000 other hopefuls to the beauty contest title, which was awarded by nine famous artists on the Daily Mirror's Beauty Adjudication Committee (yes, really).\n\nShe became an instant star and there was \"an overwhelming rush for copies\" of a special commemorative edition of the paper that featured Close in \"a variety of charming poses\".\n\nThe portrait now has a prominent spot in Hull's Ferens gallery\n\nJust as she charmed the Beauty Adjudication Committee, Close also caught the eye of society photographer Elwin Neame, who had photographed the finalists.\n\nTwo years later, her picture filled the Daily Mirror front page again - this time in her wedding dress.\n\nInside, the paper reported how a large crowd had gathered outside the church where she had married Elwin Neame, and how she had been accompanied by a \"best girl\", as opposed to a best man.\n\nIn her film debut two years later, directed by her husband and filmed in their house, she played a model posing as figures from famous paintings.\n\nShe went on to star in a long list of films that decade and set up her own production company, which was not uncommon for a successful actress in the silent era.\n\nGareth Neame (right) with Downton Abbey writer Julian Fellowes and actress Elizabeth McGovern\n\n\"It's a well-trodden path, to have gone from being a model to an actress, and she went to America to be in the movies before Hollywood was even invented,\" Gareth Neame explains.\n\n\"She went to America in about 1917 and went to Jacksonville in Florida, which was one of the centres of film-making back then, and she was in a company of actors along with Oliver Hardy.\"\n\nAfter that, Close's films included the 1923 French epic La Roue, of which Jean Cocteau said: \"There is cinema before and after La Roue, as there is painting before and after Picasso.\"\n\nGareth Neame says: \"I've got it on DVD so I'm able to watch my great-grandmother as a young woman as the lead in a silent movie. She was a reputable actress with some career.\"\n\nBut her life took a tragic turn the same year when Elwin Neame was killed in a motorcycle accident. \"It must have been quite a tough life, having lost her husband so young,\" Gareth Neame says.\n\n\"My grandfather [Ronald] was at boarding school, but just one year in, at the age of 14, he had to be pulled out because there wasn't the money to pay the fees any more.\"\n\nGareth Neame is the son of Christopher Neame (left) and grandson of Ronald Neame (centre)\n\nMeanwhile, with the arrival of talking movies, Close's acting roles were drying up. \"Like the film The Artist, about the end of the silent film era, I think she was one of the people that fell foul of that.\n\n\"I'm not sure her accent quite fitted in with American audiences, and when talking pictures came in, that was really the end of her career.\"\n\nShe did pantomime and minor films, but had fallen off the radar by the end of the 1920s. If there was a Celebrity Big Brother in 1931, she would surely have done it.\n\nGareth Neame was a toddler when Close died in 1968. \"I never knew the lady, but she was quite a big figure in the family by all accounts.\n\n\"Like a lot of people in showbusiness, as she got older she was probably slightly curmudgeonly and thought 'it's not the way that it used to be'.\n\n\"It must have been very interesting to have been this very beautiful young starlet and very famous, and then talking pictures come along and your career starts to fade.\"\n\nHer career may have faded, but the family dynasty she and Elwin Neame launched is still going strong.\n\nRonald Neame went into the family business, and went on to direct The Poseidon Adventure and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (with an Oscar-winning turn by future Downton Abbey star Dame Maggie Smith) and co-write Brief Encounter.\n\nRonald's son Christopher Neame was a Bafta-nominated writer and producer, meaning Gareth is the fourth generation to have success in the TV and film industries.\n\nHis father and grandfather knew about the portrait of Ivy Close, but did not know where it had ended up after being shown at the Royal Academy.\n\nAn online art database, ArtUK, meant Gareth Neame could track it down easily. He got in touch with the Ferens curator, who told him it had not been exhibited for several years because it needed restoration - and pointed him in the direction of their Adopt A Painting scheme.\n\n\"It's very nice to be able to make a charitable gift for something that brings back a piece of art into public view, and because of my family association with it,\" he says.\n\nBut restoring the painting is not the only way he has kept her memory alive. \"I put a little reference to her when we made Downton Abbey,\" he reveals.\n\n\"We had a scene where a couple of the servants went to the pictures and they were coming back from having seen a film that Ivy Close was in. It was a little in-joke for me.\"\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

A few players do now address him as 'Sir' - but that, he says, is with tongue firmly in cheek.\n\nThe challenge, though, remains as tough as ever. Murray has lost five finals in Melbourne in the past seven years, while Novak Djokovic - now the number two - has won the title six times in all.\n\nMurray struck an important blow by beating his lifelong rival at the World Tour Finals to end 2016 at the top of the rankings; but earlier this month, the Serb hit back to win the Qatar Open in Doha and halt Murray's winning streak at 28 in a match of nearly three hours.\n\nMurray is expecting another gruelling clash should they meet in the final here in Melbourne on 29 January.\n\n\"The way that we both play, we can't just hit through each other in one shot,\" the Scot said.\n• None How to follow the Australian Open on the BBC\n\n\"It takes a few big shots to win points, so if we're playing well they tend to be long, physical matches.\n\n\"Doha was good because I was able to see how well I recovered from it: first week of the year, you can be a bit stiff and sore. I pulled up pretty well, so it was positive.\"\n\nMuch may depend on the energy they expend in the early rounds of the competition. The draw does not appear to leave either at a significant advantage, so at 29, Murray has as good a chance as ever of winning his first Australian Open title.\n\nIn the women's draw, there is a real opportunity for a top-20 player without a Grand Slam title to break their duck at this Australian Open. Britain's Johanna Konta is as well equipped as any.\n\nThe 25-year-old, who will be ninth in Monday's world rankings, is on a high after winning her second WTA title in Sydney on Friday, but it does mean she has had little time to rest before a challenging first week.\n\nHer draw appears brutal (although she will not thank you for telling her, as she prefers not to look beyond the first match).\n\nIf Konta can beat 2013 Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium in the first round, she might then have to face the aggressive talent of Japanese 19-year-old Naomi Osaka in the second round and former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the third.\n\nKonta's decision at the end of last season to part company with coach Esteban Carril, so soon after the sudden death of her mental coach Juan Coto, was a big surprise.\n\nThe WTA's most improved player of 2016 was 150 in the world when she started working with Carril, but my understanding is the two were unable to agree financial terms for the year ahead.\n\nIt is a sign of Konta's standing in the game that she has been able to attract one of the best in the business as a replacement. Wim Fissette is just 36 - but already has a sparkling CV.\n\nThe Belgian was coach to Kim Clijsters when she won three of her Grand Slam titles, and has also coached Sabine Lisicki and Simona Halep to Grand Slam finals. A flourishing partnership with Victoria Azarenka only ended when the Belarusian announced she was taking a break from the sport because she was pregnant.\n\nKonta and Fissette agreed to work together after a trial week at Patrick Mouratoglou's Academy in Nice in the week before Christmas. Mouratoglou, the coach of Serena Williams, rates Fissette highly.\n\n\"He's worked with some of the best players on tour so he has the experience and I think he's still fresh,\" he said.\n\n\"He's young, so he still has the motivation which is something very important because when you get older, a lot of guys don't want to travel that much. He's one of the best on tour, so I think it's a good pick.\"\n\nSupporting cast no longer just make up the numbers\n\nAt last year's US Open, Dan Evans made the third round, and fellow Briton Kyle Edmund the fourth.\n\nEdmund, 22, is now a top-50 player, and Evans just a single place adrift after he appeared in his maiden ATP final in Sydney on Saturday.\n\nEvans' creative talents have long been on show, but his consistency is now far greater and even in the defeat by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller the 5ft 9in player showed his serve can still pack a punch.\n\nAll of the 26-year-old's matches bar the final in Sydney went to three sets, so sustaining his form in the opening week in Melbourne will be tough - especially with a Monday start.\n\nEvans, who faces Argentina's Facundo Bagnis in the first round, says it is positive that the matches are coming thick and fast and he was grateful for the private jet laid on by Tennis Australia for the journey to Melbourne on Saturday night.\n\nEdmund, meanwhile, has developed the useful knack of halving his world ranking on an annual basis. Every year, the challenge gets tougher, but he now stands at 46 in the world and in Brisbane earlier this month featured in his fifth ATP quarter-final since the start of last year.\n\nHis forehand is one of the most powerful in the world, his net game much improved, and the physical problems which have undermined him in five-set matches hopefully now a thing of the past.\n\nCramp proved his undoing in the first round of last year's Australian Open, and Edmund will once again have to deal with temperatures in the mid-30s Celsius for his first-round match against Colombia's Santiago Giraldo on Tuesday.\n\nIt was not a year to remember in 2016 for Aljaz Bedene, who nearly decided to walk away from the sport last summer. His love of tennis deserted him - something he relates directly to the International Tennis Federation's rejection of his appeal against his ineligibility to play Davis Cup for Great Britain.\n\n\"I honestly didn't want to play tennis, I didn't want to think about tennis,\" Slovenian-born Bedene, 27, said.\n\nWith his love of the game seemingly restored, Bedene faces Victor Estrella Burgos in the opening round. There is no finer example of the perils of retiring too young than the man from the Dominican Republic, who cracked the top 100 for the first time at the age of 33.\n\nWatson and Broady hope to upset their hosts\n\nThe other two British players in the draw face seeded Australians in the opening round.\n\nHeather Watson, 24, has fallen to 75 in the world after a promising start to last year, but will be in the Margaret Court Arena for her match against Sam Stosur.\n\nAustralia's highest women's seed is the 2011 US Open champion, but has a poor record in Melbourne where in 15 years she has reached the fourth round just twice.\n\nNaomi Broady, 26, takes on an Australian who made a name for herself here last year. Daria Gavrilova beat two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova en route to the fourth round in the first Australian Open she had contested since switching nationalities from Russia.\n\nBroady, at 95 in the world, is competing in her first main draw in Melbourne and can never be discounted given the potency of her serve.\n\nThe one high profile name missing from the main draw is Laura Robson, whose defeat in the first round of qualifying was her seventh in a row. In truth, it was a hugely erratic performance undermined by a chronic loss of confidence.\n\nRobson is still only 22, though, and working seriously for the first time with a sports psychologist.

His gameplan was to restrict Liverpool to relatively few chances - and it worked.\n\nUnited will be far more ambitious in attack at Old Trafford, however, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has some big decisions to make over the fitness of some of his players.\n\nThis is a massive game for both teams and I think it will end up with a point apiece.\n\nThink you can do better than Lawro?

It's usually something done behind closed doors - but how would you feel about someone watching porn in public? The BBC's Siobhann Tighe describes a troubling experience on a London bus.\n\nIt had been a long day at work. I got on the bus at 7.30 in the evening and it was cold and drizzly. All the passengers were wrapped up in thick coats, hoods and hats.\n\nInside, the bus was softly lit and I was expecting to zone out on my way back home: just let the day go and switch off.\n\nI sat on the lower deck beside a complete stranger and didn't give it a second thought. I was just relieved to get a seat. As we meandered through the London traffic, my gaze was drawn to my neighbour's phone. I wasn't being nosy but in the dim light of the bus, the brightness of his mobile caught my attention even though he was slanting it slightly away from me.\n\nAlthough I didn't mean to or want to, I found myself looking over towards his mobile a few times and then it suddenly occurred to me what was going on. The man beside me was watching porn.\n\nOnce I realised, although I genuinely didn't mean to, my eyes kept on being pulled back to it. I couldn't quite believe it. First he was watching animated porn, with the two naked characters in lurid colours repeating their movements over and over again. Then he started watching a film, which seemed to begin in a petrol station with a large woman in a low-cut yellow top and blonde hair peering into the driver's window.\n\nI didn't hear any sound, apart from a brief few seconds when my fellow passenger pulled the headphone jack out of his mobile, and then reinserted it.\n\nThe man didn't seem to notice my glances towards his phone, maybe because his hood was hampering his peripheral vision. He seemed oblivious to me and others around him, who admittedly wouldn't have been able to see what I saw.\n\nWe eventually arrived at his bus stop and because he had the window seat and I had the aisle, he made a motion that he needed to get out, and he muttered a \"thank you\" as he squeezed past me. I watched him get off and walk down the street.\n\nI felt uncomfortable and annoyed, but I didn't do anything about it. I didn't say anything to him and neither did he pick up on any of my glances or quizzical looks. His eyes didn't meet mine so I couldn't even communicate my feelings non-verbally and it didn't occur to me to tell the driver. Even if I wanted to, it would have been difficult to get to the front of the bus because it was packed.\n\nBut when I got off, questions flooded into my mind about what I had just experienced. What if a child saw that? Are there any laws about looking at porn in public spaces? If there are laws, how easy are they to enforce? Why did this passenger feel public transport was an appropriate place to watch porn, and should I be worried from a safety point of view?\n\nAs a journalist, I also looked at it from his point of view, even though he made me feel uncomfortable. I asked myself: is he within his rights to look at porn on his private device wherever he is? Do civil liberties in our society grant him that freedom?\n\nBut in my heart, I was offended.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. From disgust to it's ok, Woman's Hour took to the streets to find out what you think of it.\n\nWhen I mentioned it to friends, everyone seemed to have a story of their own, or an opinion.\n\n\"It happened to me when I was with my son having a coffee at a Swiss airport,\" one said. \"Two Italian guys were sitting next to me. I said something because I felt safe and I sensed there'd be support if an argument ensued.\" It worked, and they politely switched the laptop off.\n\nIt certainly got everyone talking, but like me, no-one was sure where the law stood.\n\nAccording to Prof Clare McGlynn from Durham University who specialises in the law around porn, there's little to stop someone viewing pornographic material in public - on public transport, in a library, in a park or a cafe, for example.\n\n\"It's like reading a book,\" she says. \"They are viewing lawful material which is freely available, and restricting people's access to it presents other challenges.\"\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, the law would only prevent it if the porn viewer is harassing someone or causing a disturbance.\n\nSo, what do you do? Prof McGlynn describes it as a dilemma.\n\n\"It's like someone shouting at you, calling to you to 'Cheer up, love!'\" says Prof McGlynn. \"Do you confront it, or do you put your head down and walk along?\"\n\nBut when I contacted Transport for London, they appeared to take the case very seriously.\n\n\"If someone has made you feel uncomfortable, for example by viewing pornographic material, please tell the police or a member of our staff,\" I was told.\n\nA member of staff said passengers should report incidents like to this to the bus driver, who would tell the control centre, and the information would then be passed to the police for them to investigate.\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, there is not much the police could do. On the other hand, James Turner QC contacted the BBC to say that there is a law - the Indecent Displays (Control) Act - which might form the basis for a prosecution.\n\nFive years ago, in the US, the executive director of a group called Morality in the Media had an experience similar to mine on an aeroplane. As a result, the group - now called the National Center On Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) - campaigned to get the major US airlines to stop passengers watching porn.\n\n\"All of them except for one agreed to improve their policies to prohibit passengers from viewing this material during flights and agreed to better train their flight attendants on what to do,\" Haley Halverson of NCOSE told me.\n\nBuses don't have flight attendants, though. Nor do trains. And even if police wanted to investigate incidents of porn-watching on public transport, passengers can get off whenever they like.\n\nHow would officers catch them and question them then?\n\nSiobhann Tighe and Prof Clare McGlynn spoke to Jenni Murray on Woman's Hour, on BBC Radio 4.

It is part of my job,\" he said.\n\n\"I have told the owners that the most important thing is the team and the club, not my position. I am not selfish, I am always focused on the team.\n\n\"We now have to plan quickly to strengthen the squad. Decisions have to be taken now, instead of two or three days before the deadline.\n\n\"It is difficult because we do not have any money but I need to know exactly what I can plan and decide. I have targets but I do not know my budget. I need to have a meeting with the chairman for some advice on what we can do together.\"\n\nGary Brazil, Forest's academy manager, has been put in temporary charge while the East Midlands club looks for a new boss.\n\nForest are fourth from bottom, he hasn't been great, there have been too many defeats and too many goals against - it hasn't been a good season.\n\nThis team today against Birmingham got a decent point, but would you bank on it saving Forest? You probably wouldn't and it is a squad that isn't particularly united.\n\nIt has been a mish-mash of a season so far.\n\nNext week it's at home to Bristol City, who have lost again today and are on a real downward curve at the moment. It is a real winnable game, but likewise they will be thinking 'we need a result and where better to go is Forest who can't win a game?'

And Joyce Wheeler is no exception. But in her case the situation was a bit different. The first computer she used was one of the first computers anyone used.\n\nThe machine was Edsac - the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator - that ran for the first time in 1949 and was built to serve scientists at the University of Cambridge.\n\nJoyce Wheeler was one of those scientists who, at the time, was working on her PhD under the supervision of renowned astronomer Fred Hoyle.\n\n\"My work was about the reactions inside stars,\" she said. \"I was particularly interested in how long main sequence stars stay on their main sequence.\n\n\"I wanted to know how long a star took to fade out,\" she explained.\n\nThe inner workings of the nuclear furnace that keep stars shining is an understandably knotty problem to solve. And, she said, the maths describing that energetic process were formidable.\n\n\"For stars, there's a rather nasty set of differential equations that describe their behaviour and composition,\" she added.\n\n\"It was not possible to be really accurate doing it by hand,\" she said. \"The errors just build up too much.\"\n\nEnter Edsac - a machine created by Prof Maurice Wilkes to do exactly the kind of calculations Ms Wheeler (nee Blackler) needed done to complete her advanced degree.\n\nFirst though, she had to learn to write the programs that would carry out the calculations.\n\nDr Wheeler started her PhD work at Cambridge in 1954 knowing about Edsac thanks to an earlier visit during which the machine had been shown off to her and others.\n\nKeen to get on with her research she sat down with the slim booklet that described how to program it and, by working through the exercises in that pioneering programming manual, learned to code.\n\nResearch students like Joyce Wheeler had to use Edsac at night\n\nThe little book was called WWG after its three authors Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler and Stanley Gill.\n\nIt was through learning programming that Ms Blackler got talking to David Wheeler because one of her programs helped to ensure Edsac was working well. They got to know each other, fell in love and married in 1957.\n\nNow, more than 62 years on she is very matter of fact about that time - even though programmers, and especially women programmers, were rare.\n\nPerhaps because of that novel situation, a new discipline and a pioneering machine, the atmosphere at Cambridge in the computer lab was not overwhelmingly masculine.\n\n\"You could be regarded as a bit of an object, and occasionally it was a bit uncomfortable,\" she said, \"But it was not quite a boys' brigade then in the way that it became later on.\"\n\nIt was an exciting time, she said, because of what the machine could do for her and her work. She took to programming quickly, she said, her strength with maths helping her quickly master the syntax into which she had to translate those \"nasty equations\".\n\n\"But it was like maths,\" she said, \"it was one of those things that you knew you should not do for too long.\n\nThe foundations of programming were laid down by Edsac's creators\n\n\"I found I could not work at a certain programming job for more than a certain number of hours per day,\" she said. \"After that you would not make much progress.\"\n\nOften, she said, the solution to a programming problem she had been worrying away at would strike while she was engaged in something more mundane, like doing the washing or eating lunch.\n\n\"Sometimes it's better to leave something alone, to pause, and that's very true of programming.\"\n\nWith the programming done, she could let Edsac do the number crunching. As a research student she had to run her programs during the night. In her case that was Friday.\n\n\"That was good because there were no lectures the next day that you had to go to,\" she said.\n\nAs an operator she was allowed to run Edsac alone, provided she signed in and kept a record of what she did.\n\n\"Quite often it would break down during the night, but just occasionally you were lucky enough to keep it running all night,\" she said. \"If it did crash, there was little that operators were allowed to do to try to fix it.\n\n\"They didn't even let any of the cleaners get near it,\" she said.\n\nDr Wheeler had been shown one procedure that recalibrated Edsac's two kilobyte memory but if that did not help, then her work would stop for the night.\n\nDespite the regular crashes, Ms Wheeler made steady progress on finding out how long different stars would last before they collapsed.\n\nA copy of Edsac is being built at the National Museum of Computing\n\n\"I got some estimates of a star's age, how long it was going to last,\" she said. \"One of the nice things was that with programming you could repeat it. Iterate. You could not do that with a hand calculation.\n\n\"We could add in sample numbers on programs and it could easily check them,\" she added. \"I could check my results on the machine very rapidly, which was very useful.\"\n\nRapidly in the 1950s meant about 30 minutes for the machine to complete one run of a program. Then the results were printed out for researchers to pore over to see what results they had got. Then it was a case of re-programming and perhaps waiting a few days to have a chance to run a slightly modified program on Edsac.\n\nDespite the delays, it was clear to Dr Wheeler that they were pioneers.\n\n\"We were doing work that could not done in any other way,\" she said. And even though Edsac was crude and painfully slow by modern standards, she saw that a revolution had begun.\n\n\"It was clear that one day, when the machines got bigger and faster, a lot of problems would start to be solved.\"", "1.

Mifid 2 means big changes for banks across Europe over the next year.\n\n\"It's a complete system change, very detailed,\" says Anthony Browne, who runs the British Bankers' Association (BBA).\n\n\"It is changing their IT systems, changing the way their whole systems operate right from the front end and the information the traders put in to the back end and information they provide to clients; it's also the documentation they provide for their clients, and information they give to regulators themselves.\"\n\nThe rules run to more than 1,000 pages.\n\nThe new rulebook - or perhaps rule \"tome\", more accurately - is the EU's response to the financial crisis.\n\nA decade on from that scarring experience, the European Commission predicts the law will be transformative for markets.\n\nDespite the Brexit vote, the City still has to abide by the new EU regulations\n\nMany banks back the new rules, saying they will help avoid a rerun of 2007-08 by bringing in more transparency and giving investors greater protection.\n\nSome companies, though, say they are too tough and have already led to job losses.\n\n\"It is the unintended consequences that could be the problem here,\" says Julian Allen-Ellis from the EFMA financial markets trade body.\n\n\"The operational cost of both buy-side and sell-side setting up for this new regulation could mean profitability is impacted and that ultimately impacts the person on the street with their pension and their portfolio.\"\n\nA recent survey of the City by PA Consulting suggested two out of five companies were not prepared enough to implement the new rules.\n\nThey'd better get a move on. The sprawling regulations come into force in January 2018.\n\nThere are some who argue that these complex EU rules could be a big help to the City after Brexit, because they contain something called \"equivalence\".\n\nThat allows financial companies from outside the EU to do business inside it, as long as their home country has the same standards of regulation.\n\nThe City is wary of what Mifid 2 will usher in\n\n\"Potentially this could be a way through the mire,\" says David Biggin, an adviser at PA Consulting.\n\n\"For a lot of the companies talking about relocating, actually this rule might allow some light at the end of the tunnel. It's a technocratic decision rather than a political decision. It is a way forward.\"\n\nHowever, not everyone thinks \"equivalence\" will save the City's bacon if it finds itself with less favourable access to the EU than it has today.\n\n\"The main drawback is it can be withdrawn unilaterally at any time,\" warns the BBA's Anthony Browne.\n\nHe has other concerns too. \"This would be a political process done at a time when the UK is negotiating its divorce arrangements from the EU, and when it's thinking about negotiating a trade deal with the EU. The chance we would get agreement on equivalence, to come in the day the UK leaves the EU, seems hopeful at best.\"\n\nThe experience of some countries already outside the EU seem to bear that fear out.\n\nSeveral have already applied for \"equivalence\" status under previous financial rules.\n\nGuernsey is one of them. The Crown dependency has beefed up its laws, and they have been judged as technically the same as the EU's by an EU regulator, no less.\n\nGuernsey is now waiting for the European Commission to give it the final nod - and has been for two years.\n\n\"The technical decision was made.

The state does little to look after them, so responsibility lies with the public - as Will Grant found when he befriended a ginger tomcat.\n\nMy younger sister sometimes reminds me of the apparent indifference I showed when our family cat, Pippit, died in 1991. A slender tabby who lived well beyond her expected years, Pippit enjoyed a long and happy life with us. Finally, at the impressive age of 21, she died just as we returned from a family holiday.\n\nWaking up to find that Pippit hadn't lasted the night, I took it upon myself to break the news to my sister. Sensitivity and tact weren't exactly high in my repertoire when I was 15 - I simply crashed into her room with the line: \"Helen, the cat's dead!\"\n\nI don't know if you've ever seen anyone wake up and immediately burst into tears, but I should take this opportunity to apologise to Helen for what was probably the meanest thing I did to her when we were growing up.\n\nSo, given she has this image of me as callous when it comes to pets - unfair, I hasten to add - she was surprised, when she visited Havana recently, to find just how much Cuba has influenced my attitude towards animals.\n\nThere are no state-funded pet rescue organisations on this communist island, so caring for neighbourhood strays is down to local businesses or residents.\n\nAround a dozen state institutions, from the Central Bank to the Museum of Metalwork, have adopted their own stray dogs. Under the scheme, the homeless hounds are named and duly issued with ID cards, which are placed on their collars to save them from the dog-catcher.\n\nVladimir, a former street dog, with his ID collar in Havana\n\nThe adoption system operates under the premise that they are now officially considered the government buildings' guard dogs, although the ones I've seen are docile street mutts rather than fierce Rottweilers.\n\nThe city government does operate a programme for neutering and spaying strays in Old Havana, but the handful of voluntary animal protection organisations that exist simply can't deal with the sheer numbers across the island.\n\nCubans are by and large dog people. There is a pretty significant culture of dog ownership, even among those who are barely scraping by.\n\nCats, on the other hand get a raw deal. Especially stray ones.\n\nSo, since we arrived in Cuba, we've tried to do our bit. We've already taken in two kittens we found lost and half-drowned during a torrential downpour one night. My girlfriend's mother is now the proud owner of the uniquely named Honorato and Carilda.\n\nBut for my sister, on her recent visit, it was my relationship with Django which really stood out.\n\nA ginger-and-white tomcat, he started life inside our building's parking garage. We would often hear a faint mewing after we parked the car.\n\nAs a kitten, Django would hide deep inside the motor of some diplomat's SUV, seeking refuge by nestling near the carburettor.\n\nOnce he grew a bit and emerged from the darkness of the car park, he was almost instantly adopted by the building.\n\nWe would leave food out for him. As would some Russian neighbours. So, apparently, did Sindi, one of the doormen. He looks like he could find a second job as a nightclub bouncer, but fell for the scruffy, soot-stained Django as much as we did.\n\nDjango was the name my Mum gave the kitten when she came to Havana and it stuck. We were smitten.\n\nEvenings would be interrupted and conversations broken off mid-flow so we could go out and feed him a mixture of leftovers and expensive kibble specially brought in from Mexico.\n\nThe treatment Django received in our building was well above the experience of most alley cats in Cuba with food regularly provided - if not by one neighbour, then another. Sometimes, both.\n\nThat brought with it the inevitable interest of other local waifs and strays. At one time there were three or four more trying to get in on the act. Fair enough - it's a dog-eat-dog world out there for a Cuban cat.\n\nStill, we began to worry. There is a nasty habit in Cuba of angry neighbours removing a constantly barking dog or an unsightly stray cat by feeding it mince laced with rat-poison.\n\nAlternatively - almost as cruelly - the witless pet might be shoved into the back of the car, driven out to the countryside and let out on the roadside, far from home. Noisy neighbourhood dog dealt with, even if the owners are now frantic with worry.\n\nIn the end, nothing like that befell poor Django. It was a far more inevitable fate, under the wheels of a car thundering down 70th Street.\n\nThe headlines of 2016 were full of high-profile deaths. But spare a thought for one of the year's final victims, taken on New Year's Eve in Havana - a much loved, slightly grubby, ginger-and-white street cat called Django.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Taj Mahal Self-Portrait, a 1966 photograph by George Harrison that features in the exhibition\n\nI have never taken a selfie. I'm far too ugly.\n\nThat said, I have ruined other people's, on those occasions when asked by a friend or arts fan to join them in a smartphone photo.\n\nI'm happy to say yes - it's not as if I'm ever going to have to look back at the image.\n\nI'd be horrified if I did, and mortified if it appeared in some public context like an art exhibition. I don't like causing offence.\n\nFortunately for us, such an occurrence is highly unlikely but it is possible, and increasingly so.\n\nSelfie-themed exhibitions are to museums and galleries what dancefloors are to dads: a tempting opportunity to show how young and trendy they are while in reality communicating the exact opposite.\n\nThey all seem to be at it, from the venerable Mauritshuis in The Hague to the yoof-loving Tate Modern. The Saatchi Gallery is the latest to jump aboard the selfie bandwagon with a show it says \"will be the world's first exhibition exploring the history of the selfie from old masters to the present day, and will celebrate the truly creative potential of a form of expression often derided for its inanity\".\n\nI'm not sure if the \"world's first\" claim is valid, but I'm absolutely certain that the long history of the self-portrait has not been \"derided for its inanity\".\n\nSome of the greatest works of art ever produced are self-portraits. We know that. It has long been a respected genre used by artists to demonstrate their virtuosity, while having the added advantage of the sitter/model being free.\n\nAnyway, to compare a painstakingly painted Rembrandt self-portrait with an opportunist snap taken by Helle Thorning-Schmidt flanked by David Cameron and Barak Obama at Nelson Mandela's funeral is silly.\n\nIt's like equating the diary entry of a lovelorn teenager with a novel by Alice Munro - they don't stand comparison. Both have their place, both can be art, but they are quite different.\n\nWhen I first heard about the show, it sounded like the sort of idea the gallery's communications department might come up with to attract \"new audiences\". And then I read the press release and discovered it WAS the communications department that came up with the concept.\n\nIt had help from a PR company called H+K Strategies, part of the globe-spanning WPP Group, which counts Huawei, a Chinese smartphone brand, among its clients. This is not an unconnected fact. Huawei are the sponsors of the Saatchi Gallery show.\n\nIn fact, according to the press release, they are its co-authors: \"Saatchi Gallery and Huawei, the world's number three smartphone brand, announce they have teamed up to present From Selfie to Self-Expression.\"\n\nOne of the team from H+K Strategies to whom I spoke talked of brainstorming sessions between the parties.\n\nShe made no mention of breakout groups and brightly coloured pens - but I'd hazard a guess they were present. Selfie to Self-Expression feels like a show that started life writ large in pink letters (with yellow asterisk to the side) on front of a flip-chart.\n\nHuawei's involvement explains the comment in the press release about the self-portrait genre being \"derided for its inanity\". I don't think it meant self-portraiture, but selfie-portraiture.\n\nThis is a show designed to elevate the status of the selfie from what they say can be viewed as an inane activity to an artform. Hence the stated aim to \"celebrate the creative potential of a form of expression…\".\n\nAdd to this its commitment to \"highlight the emerging role of the smartphone as an artistic medium for self-expression\", and I think we know the corporate tail is wagging the art gallery dog.\n\nI'm not saying this to criticise - needs must and all that. It might be a great show, and even if it isn't there is something marvellously Warholian about an art gallery founded by an ad man conceiving an exhibition with the world's largest ad agency network. As Warhol once said: \"Good business is the best art.\"\n\nNo, the reason I mention the corporate sponsor is because I think its collaboration with the Saatchi Gallery is potentially more interesting than the show itself. The whole project would appear to be rooted in the notion of a new \"purposeful age\" in public relations as spelt out by H+K Strategies.\n\nThey say: \"In the Purposeful Age companies and institutions have the opportunity to join a meaningful conversation around things that matter, take their place in culture and demonstrate their responsibility to society.\n\n\"At H+K our purpose in this new age is to inspire creative and curious conversations that help brands and the public communicate to build better outcomes for everyone.\"\n\nOkay, it's a tad hyperbolic, but you've got to hand it to them - the Saatchi show is a good example of them practising what they preach.\n\nIt also helps makes sense of the whole enterprise, unifying the subject matter and the sponsor, which can be captured by simply adding three words to the current exhibition title: Selfie to Self-Expression - to Self-Promotion.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Along with Djokovic, he is the best returner in the world - and if he does not manage to pass you, then he is more than likely to send a top spin lob fizzing over your head to within inches of the baseline.\n\nBut Zverev served superbly, and volleyed even better, again and again and again. The German hit some astonishing returns and made short shrift of Murray's second serve. And when the pressure started to rise, his level did not start to fall.\n\nPinned behind the baseline too frequently for comfort, Murray started missing more regularly. The Scot was unable to turn the tide or summon up the aggression that served him so well in the second half of last season.\n• None Has Djokovic's obsession burnt itself out?\n\nAndre Agassi addressed this subject before the match. The four-time Australian Open champion was very complimentary about Murray in a video link to Melbourne Park on Saturday, as he explained how the 29-year-old could improve still further.\n\n\"I have always sort of talked about Andy as a person that has never really utilised his game to his maximum potential. He's so good at certain things that it almost makes him a bit indecisive,\" Agassi said.\n\n\"If you actually minimised his defensive skills just 5%, he might even actually be a better player.\n\n\"He puts himself through unnecessary wear and tear on a court, because his offensive upside is, I think, still more than he shows.\"\n\nMurray says he will now reflect on whether he could have done anything differently to prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year. He only had time for two weeks off after a frenetic end to last season, and must now balance the need for rest with his instinctive desire to play in Great Britain's Davis Cup first-round tie in Canada the week after next.\n\nMurray suggested in the immediate aftermath of defeat that he intends to play in Ottawa, but his coaching team may well argue he should take a longer break before heading to Dubai in late February. The first two Masters events of the year follow in Indian Wells and Miami.\n\nThere is no immediate threat to Murray's world number one ranking - he will be 1,715 points ahead of Serb Djokovic when the list is refreshed at the end of the Australian Open.\n\nHe is certain to be number one until at least May because he has just a handful of ranking points to defend between now and the start of the clay court season.\n\nCan anything further be read into the early exits of both Murray and Djokovic, who will both have turned 30 by the time the next Grand Slam is staged at Roland Garros in four months?\n\nAgeing players are once again doing very well at this Australian Open, with half of the 12 men left in the draw on Sunday night older than the pair of them.\n\nAnd yet in the modern era, men have found it tricky to win Grand Slam titles in their thirties. Stan Wawrinka and Agassi have each done it twice, but even Roger Federer has managed it only once.\n\nMats Wilander, who won the last of his seven Grand Slam titles at the age of 24, explains why it can become harder to find the consistency required over seven rounds.\n\n\"You have good days and you have bad days when you get older,\" Wilander told BBC Sport.\n\n\"You don't have to call on anything when you are younger - it's just there naturally. You don't worry about the consequences, you just play and you fight until the bitter end. I think the mind gets in your way when you get older.\"\n\nThere are still three Grand Slam champions left in the draw, with Federer, Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal all now over 30. The younger challenge is led by Milos Raonic, Dominic Thiem and Grigor Dimitrov.\n\nAlong with Federer - who will not now have to face Murray in the quarter-finals - it may be Raonic who takes most heart from Sunday's events.\n\nYou will not find him at the net as often as Zverev, but he did add the 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek to his team in December with the explicit intention of trying to move forward on a more regular basis.\n\nWe are a long way from declaring a new serve-and-volley era, but Melbourne Park's quicker courts have contributed to an enthralling first week - unless, that is, you happen to be ranked number one or two in the world.", "Dairy farmers launched a protest at the EU Council headquarters in Brussels on Monday.\n\nIt follows a decision by the EU to put some powdered milk stocks back on sale, following \"encouraging signals about a pickup in the milk market,\"", "The stars of T2 Trainspotting have gathered in Edinburgh for the film's world premiere.\n\nOriginal cast members Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller, Kelly Macdonald and Ewen Bremner spoke to the BBC about working on the Trainspotting sequel.", "Experts say bread, chips and potatoes should be cooked to a golden yellow colour, rather than brown, to reduce our intake of a chemical which could cause cancer.\n\nAcrylamide is produced when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long at high temperatures.", "Karan Johar is one of Bollywood's most influential directors\n\nBollywood director and talk show host Karan Johar's autobiography has kicked off a loud debate on being gay in India, writes Sudha G Tilak.\n\n\"Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is.

They say his decision to hold back from explicitly coming out, and opting to leave \"bold clues\" about his sexuality instead, belittles their suffering.\n\nIt has never been easy to be openly gay in India\n\nIn response to the criticism Johar writes, \"The reason I don't say it out aloud is simply that I don't want to be dealing with the FIRs [police complaints].

He called Johar's extract on his sexuality a \"regressive and a cowardly statement\".\n\nJohar's book also details his lonely childhood.

Arsenal were the only other team in the top six to win, beating Burnley 2-1.\n\nManchester City and Tottenham drew 2-2 on Saturday, while Wayne Rooney scored a record 250th Manchester United goal as they rescued a point at Stoke.\n\nElsewhere, there were wins for Southampton against Leicester, Swansea against Liverpool, Everton at Crystal Palace, West Ham at Middlesbrough and West Brom against Sunderland. Bournemouth and Watford drew.\n\nDo you agree with my team of the week or would you go for a different team? Why not pick your very own team of the week from the shortlist selected by BBC Sport journalists and share it with your friends?\n\nPick your Team of the Week Pick your XI from our list and share with your friends.\n\nI was tempted to go for Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois for another clean sheet. His save from Hull's Oumar Niasse in the closing minutes nearly clinched it, but I have gone for Petr Cech. The former Chelsea keeper was first class throughout the messy affair. He took a blow to the head that caused a moment's concern but recovered to put in a solid performance against a very dangerous Burnley.\n\nYou can count on Cech to be professional in a crisis and there were times in this match when Arsenal seemed to be out of control. The behaviour of Arsene Wenger was jaw-dropping. To push the fourth official, who was well within his rights to ask Wenger to leave the area having been dismissed, was appalling. It's just as well the Arsenal manager has apologised to him, it's the least he could do. Now he will have to wait to hear what the FA thought about this unseemly affair. I suspect it won't be good.\n\nWhat a finish by Seamus Coleman. If there is one full-back you want the ball to drop to in the opposition's penalty area minutes from time then Coleman's the man. Palace can moan all they want about Jeffrey Schlupp requiring treatment for cramp. The referee is under no obligation to stop the match unless he considers the matter serious. For Everton - and Coleman in particular - to take advantage of Palace's misfortune is precisely what the game is all about.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, Coleman was superb all afternoon. He was a constant menace down Crystal Palace's left side and caused all sorts of problems for the Eagles. Time is running out for Sam Allardyce. Having suffered that earth-shattering experience of losing the England job in such an undignified fashion, I wondered if it has destroyed what has hitherto been an impregnable confidence? I hope not because Palace are going to need it.\n\nTrying to win a football match with 10 men is one thing - but it becomes considerably more difficult when your manager and team-mates seem to have lost the plot while you are trying to do it. That's what appeared to be the situation facing Shkodran Mustafi in a mad spell at Emirates Stadium. It all started when Granit Xhaka made a totally outrageous tackle on Steven Defour, followed by an equally needless challenge by Francis Coquelin that resulted in a penalty.\n\nThe madness didn't stop there either; Arsene Wenger was then removed from the dugout for remonstrating about a decision the referee Jon Moss got absolutely right. Fortunately, Mustafi kept his cool at a time when all around him were losing theirs.\n\nThis was not an easy game for Chelsea or Gary Cahill but they both got through it. The Chelsea captain suffered a nasty bang on the head having clashed with Ryan Mason. Mason never recovered and went straight to hospital, while Cahill went on to score the goal that sealed a difficult victory. The Blues have now stretched their lead at the top of the table, having kept their discipline and their composure.\n\nNotably, we saw the return of Diego Costa from the naughty corner, adding his goalscoring talents to the side. No doubt Cahill read Costa the riot act on behalf of the players and dressing room order seems to have been restored. Now they go to Liverpool in two weeks' time with an opportunity to put this title race beyond the Merseysiders. It's amazing what a team can achieve with discipline, talent and composure.\n\nWhat a strike by Chris Brunt. We know the Northern Irishman can whack a ball, but his goal against Sunderland was so sweetly struck that it was an object of sheer beauty. What was not so pretty was the altercation between Darren Fletcher and Papy Djilobodji when the Senegal defender appeared to shove the West Brom captain in the face. Based on the evidence, no punches were thrown - but hands were certainly raised.\n\nWhy West Brom manager Tony Pulis, in his post-match interview, devolved his 'opinion' to the MOTD studio on this specific matter I don't really understand. Managers can seriously defend a player's actions or condemn them - Pulis elected to do neither. I hope we are not coming into a period in the game where managers (Pep Guardiola included) no longer think it their job to express an opinion. However, there was one thing we all agreed on: Brunt's goal was a cracker.\n\nThe penalty that settled this fixture was controversial but it took a big man to convert it. Once I saw Alexis Sanchez step up to the spot I knew the game was over. The fact Jon Moss got the decision wrong in my view is immaterial now, but what did the referee think Ben Mee was going to do, let Laurent Koscielny head the ball into the back of the net?\n\nThe defender is entitled to clear the ball regardless of where the opposing player is prepared to stick his head. Nevertheless, the penalty was awarded and Sanchez showed his class with a coolly taken spot-kick in a white hot atmosphere. It's just as well Arsenal have a player who in this sort of situation can cope with the pressure.\n\nThe former Tottenham midfielder gave Liverpool fair warning early in the first half when he hit the woodwork. However, it was the way this young talent seemed to run the show that impressed me. He spent long periods dictating the play - irrespective of the presence of Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana and Georginio Wijnaldum - and did so with real purpose. Swansea's first league win at Anfield was masterminded by a 24-year-old who did not have much Premier League experience.\n\nLast week, we saw Liverpool defend heroically at Old Trafford - but courage alone is not enough. Liverpool need know-how and a central defender who can organise and marshal his defensive colleagues in isolation and one that doesn't need the assistance of the cavalry every time there is a set-piece or counter-attack. The Reds now have to face Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal at Anfield in a matter of weeks. I keep saying that Liverpool can't win the title with this defence, but it's obvious Jurgen Klopp disagrees.\n\nHe's only gone and done it. Wayne Rooney has broken Sir Bobby Charlton's record and Bobby was there to see it. 250 not out. It was a landmark goal by the best team player of his generation. Rooney was so consumed in his post-match interview by the fact that Manchester United had salvaged a point in such difficult circumstances that his record-breaking exploit had become secondary.\n\nThis typified a player who I have grown to greatly respect over the years. He never misses an England match if called upon and plays for his club in any position when required. Rooney stood up to Sir Alex Ferguson (and quite rightly) when he felt his manager wasn't buying the players befitting of Manchester United, prolonged David Moyes' tenure at the club with virtuoso performances having been told he was surplus to requirements - and now sits on the bench without a moment's fuss or hesitation under Jose Mourinho, waiting to come to the rescue if needed. This is a player who deserves all the plaudits. After all, he's earned them.\n\nThis was a game in which Leicester City were unrecognisable from the side who won the Premier League title. Admittedly, Southampton and James Ward-Prowse in particular contributed to their demise, but I must say the Foxes are playing with fire. Better teams than them have gone down and Claudio Ranieri had better pull his finger out.\n\nIn the meantime, Southampton have worked their way through a very difficult period and as a result unearthed a new Morgan Schneiderlin. Every time I see Ward-Prowse play, he gets better and better and he was the architect of Leicester's downfall. That said, if Leicester are serious about staying in the Premier League, they should seriously consider how they manage their Champions League fixtures because they can't succeed in both.\n\nCrisis, what crisis? I said last week if Andy Carroll can stay fit between now and the end of the season, Dimitri Payet can take a running jump. In fact, I will drive him to Marseille myself.\n\nThe former Liverpool and Newcastle striker looks in great form at the moment and destroyed Middlesbrough, who seem to be punching above their weight. I have an enormous amount of time for manager Aitor Karanka's team, who remind me a bit of Jack Charlton's Boro in the 70s. There wasn't a great deal of stardom in that side either but tremendous endeavour. Unfortunately, against a rampant West Ham led by Carroll, effort wasn't enough.\n\nI just didn't see this result coming and that's why you can't take your eyes off the Premier League for a moment. Swansea may have the worst defensive record in the division but that didn't mean a row of beans to the Swans on the day.\n\nLlorente's first goal was an opportunist's toe-poke, but his second was superb. The way he attacked the ball was brave and full of intent and gave Swansea what they deserved. Liverpool still find themselves in a fantastic position regardless of this result - but a wonderful opportunity will soon evaporate if they don't fix what has been glaringly obvious to me all season. Liverpool need a central defensive general.", "Last updated on .From the section Boxing\n\nThe 34-year-old from Leeds will not be part of the Great Britain squad in the build-up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but could still compete at the Games.\n\n\"I can still go back and do Tokyo as well - I wouldn't like to rule anything out.

Here, Jadhav threatened to pull off something equally astounding:\n• None 49.1 overs - Six - Full ball from Woakes, Jadhav goes deep in his crease and launches over extra cover.\n• None 49.2 overs - Four - Similar delivery, similar stroke, this time a one-bounce four. Six needed from four balls.\n• None 49.4 overs - Dot - Well bowled. Jadhav fails to squeeze out a yorker and calls for a change of bat.\n• None 49.5 overs - Out - Full and wide from Woakes, Jadhav's brilliant knock is ended when he picks out Sam Billings on the off-side rope.\n• None 50 overs - Dot - Woakes holds his nerve, Bhuvneshwar Kumar cannot hit the six that would have sealed an India whitewash.\n\nOn placid pitches in the the first two ODIs, England made scores of 350-7 and 366-8 only to lose both.\n\nHere they were more comfortable on a surface that offered movement and bounce for the pace bowlers.\n\nStill, a weakness of losing wickets at key moments and batsmen failing to convert good starts was repeated.\n\nJason Roy got into a tangle to be bowled by Ravindra Jadeja for 65, captain Eoin Morgan helped a long hop to short fine leg for 43 and Jonny Bairstow cut to point for 56 - both men victims of the excellent Pandya's 3-49.\n\nStokes' late hitting took England to a competitive score and their pace bowlers enjoyed the greater assistance to run through the India top order, even after David Willey was forced from the field with a shoulder injury.\n\nThen came the charge of Jadhav and Pandya, but Stokes and Woakes, who earlier added 73 with the bat in only 40 balls, had the final say.\n\nThere wasn't any shame in losing those first two games.

I was worried about stumbling on the stairs and falling on the president.\"\n\nThankfully for Andy, he managed to stay on his feet and give a speech that wasn't too overshadowed by President Clinton's well-known oratorical talents.\n\nAndy says: \"President Clinton was amazing, he is an incredible public speaker, I owe him a great deal.\"\n\nBut why was President Clinton so impressed with a South African businessman he had only recently met?\n\nAndy had ambitious plans to help transform the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the developing world, to help pull them out of poverty.\n\nInstead of giving them aid, his plan was to invest in, help run and expand indigenous companies, mostly insurance and healthcare funds, so that populations would not be blighted by ill-health.\n\nAnd instead of being a charity or non-profit organisation, Leapfrog planned to be very much profit-making and offer its investors a decent rate of return. The idea was to make globalisation and capitalism work for the world's poorest people.\n\nAfter a very slow start, the business today has more than $1bn (£800m) of funds on its books. It currently invests in 16 companies across 22 countries in Africa and Asia that have a combined 100,000 employees and serve 91 million people.\n\nThe son of anti-apartheid campaigners and brought up on a farm outside of Johannesburg, Andy doesn't seem qualified to run a global investment firm on first glance at his CV.\n\nHe has no business qualifications and instead studied philosophy at university, before going on to lecture in the subject.\n\nLeapfrog typically invests in insurance and healthcare firms across Africa and Asia\n\nYet he started investing in the stock market aged 10, using money he made from selling the family's crops on the side of the road. By aged 13, he was making money for clients.\n\nAfter attending the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, Andy went to Cambridge University. It was while at Cambridge that Andy spent a summer working for a non-government organisation in India, which he said was \"one of his most formative experiences\" and is the genesis of his future idea for Leapfrog.\n\n\"We were trying to get Indian farmers to adopt drip irrigation, which could triple their production and lift them out of poverty,\" says Andy, now 41.\n\n\"But they just wouldn't do it. At the time, I thought they were being so irrational, but they weren't - they weren't prepared to take the risk of doing something new and seeing their crops fail as a result. Why? Because this would have meant that their children starved.\n\n\"So I thought, why don't we give these people a safety net to enable them to take a chance on bettering themselves, such as insurance cover.\"\n\nAfter spending his 20s lecturing and heading up an organisation that supports social entrepreneurs, Andy started work on Leapfrog. Initially, he got nowhere fast, because, he says, the idea was so new.\n\nMost Leapfrog firms, such as insurer Bima, utilise mobile technology\n\nHe says: \"It seemed close to impossible to begin with, but I just believed so fundamentally in the idea, which I call profit with purpose, of investing in companies that serve the other half of humanity - the four billion people that conventionally have not been served.\"\n\nWith no money coming in, Andy had to live off his and his wife's savings until Leapfrog got its first small investment after a year and a half.\n\nThe Clinton connection then followed, thanks to Andy knowing someone who worked for the organisation.\n\nHowever, the president's September 2008 speech failed to immediately open the investment floodgates, because it was quickly overshadowed by global events.\n\nA week later, investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed and the world was plunged into the global financial crisis.\n\nYet despite this backdrop, Leapfrog was able to secure $135m of investment by late 2009. Today its institutional investors include Goldman Sachs, Axa, JP Morgan, AIG, Swiss Re and the European Investment Bank.\n\nCompanies that Leapfrog invests in and helps run include All Life, a South African insurance firm that gives low cost cover to people with HIV, Kenyan pharmacy chain Goodlife, and India's Mahindra Insurance Brokers. Andy says that Leapfrog helps the firms see revenues grow by an average 43% per year.\n\nRobert van Zwieten, president of Emerging Market Private Equity Association, the trade group for firms that invest in the developing world, says that Andy and Leapfrog have been \"trailblazers\" in helping to create a new industry known as \"impact investing\". These are firms that invest both to make money and to achieve a positive social impact.\n\nHe adds: \"The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) event at Davos has for several years been struggling to work out how to make globalisation and capitalism work for the many and not just the few, but Andy and his team at Leapfrog are already doing just that.\"\n\nNow based in Sydney, Australia, after previously being in New York, Andy says: \"You can do more good if you are profitable, and make more profit because you are good [doing virtuous things].\"\n\nFollow The Boss series editor Will Smale on Twitter @WillSmale1\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The rhythm of the tree planting and its relationship to the columns of the buildings they stand near are \"not accidental\", says Mr Shostak\n\nMost towns grow and evolve over hundreds if not thousands of years.

But British charm does not travel well these days.\n\nRattled by the economic havoc Brexit could unleash, Germans are not in the mood for gags.\n\nBritain used to be seen by continentals as quirky and occasionally awkward - but reliably pragmatic on the economy.\n\nHowever, since the Brexit vote, Europeans suspect endearing eccentricity has morphed into unpredictable irrationality. The UK has become the tipsy, tweedy uncle, who after too much Christmas sherry has tipped over into drunkenly abusive bore.\n\nWhen the audience was asked how many of them welcomed Brexit, only one hand went up - and it turned out that belonged to a businessman who wanted more EU reform and was fed up with Britain slowing things down.\n\nBrexiteer rhetoric over the past year has often focused on the size of Britain's market and how keen German manufacturers are to sell to British customers.\n\nMany leave campaigners remain convinced that German business leaders will force Mrs Merkel to grant the UK a special free trade deal in order not to lose British trade.\n\nBut that's not what's happening.\n\nAngela Merkel has said Britain will not be able to cherry-pick the best bits of the single market\n\nInstead German firms are remarkably united in their support of the chancellor in her rejection of British \"cherry-picking\" - even if it means losing business in the short-term.\n\nWhen you talk to German bosses they say their top priority is in fact the integrity of the single market, rather than hanging on to British customers.\n\nThat's because their supply chains span across the EU.\n\nA German car might be designed in Germany, manufactured in Britain, with components made in various parts of eastern Europe, to be sold in France. This only works if there are no cross-border tariffs, paperwork or red tape.\n\nGerman companies - more often family-owned and with deeper connections to their regional heartlands - tend to look at the wider picture, sometimes thinking more long-term.\n\nThey supported Mrs Merkel on sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, even though that meant a blow to trade. The financial hit was deemed less bad for business than worsening unrest in nearby Ukraine.\n\nThe same calculations are being made over Brexit.\n\nTheresa May's speech on Brexit last week made front page news in Germany\n\nThis doesn't mean German business is thinking politically, and not economically. But rather, it indicates a wider attitude towards how business can thrive long-term.\n\nGerman business leaders tell you that the British market may be important. But it is only one market, compared to 27 markets in the rest of the EU.\n\nLeave campaigners also still underestimate the political and historical significance of the EU for Germany, where it is seen as the guarantor of peace after centuries of warfare.\n\nIt is tempting to see the clashes between Westminster and the EU27 as one big decades-long misunderstanding of what the EU is.\n\nAn idealistic peace-project versus a pragmatic free-trade zone. This makes it even more ironic that London may reject the free-trade area it spent so much time creating.\n\nGermany was shocked and saddened by the UK's vote to leave the EU. But the decision was quickly accepted in Berlin.\n\n\"The Brits never really wanted to be members of the European Union anyway,\" is something you often hear these days.\n\nMany Germans now want to just work out a solution that does the least amount of harm to the European economy. Hence the irritation in Germany when British politicians keep rehashing the pre-referendum debate.\n\n\"It was frustrating to hear the same old arguments from the referendum campaign,\" one business leader told me when I asked him what he had thought about Saturday's discussion.\n\nGermany has moved on, he said. Maybe Britain should too.\n\nThe Brexiteers might not have persuaded their audience in Berlin. But if they return to London with a better idea of the mood in Germany's business community, then the trip may well have been worthwhile.", "Aerial footage shows the extent of devastation caused by tornadoes in Mississippi in the US, which claimed the lives of four people\n\nAnd a state of emergency has been declared in seven counties in south-central Georgia, where 14 people were killed.", "A vet has left behind her home in England to care for Sri Lanka’s street dogs.\n\nJaney Lowes from Barnard Castle, County Durham, has spent the past two years caring for the neglected animals.\n\nThere are about three million street dogs on the island – about 60% of puppies born on the street do not survive to adulthood.\n\nThe 28-year-old set up charity WECare Worldwide to raise money to buy the equipment needed to treat the animals and to set up her own clinic in Talalla.\n\nYou can see more on this story on Inside Out on BBC One at 19:30 GMT on Monday.", "\"I think they're going to pay a big price\" - that's what Donald Trump said about journalists whom he described as \"the most dishonest human beings on earth\".\n\nThomas Friedman, a New York Times columnist and three times Pulitzer-prize winner, tells the Today programme that President Trump was a \"chaos candidate\" and he now fears a \"chaos presidency\".", "It was the gesture at last year's Australian Open tennis tournament that made headlines around the world.\n\nDuring his second-round match, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga noticed a ball girl was fighting back tears after being struck by a ball.\n\nThe Frenchman stopped play to check on the girl before looping his arm through hers and escorting her off the court.\n\nTwelve months on, Tsonga has revealed the girl, Giuliana, sent him a heartfelt message of thanks.\n\n\"I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for helping me out on court during your round 2 match.

What exactly is an executive order, and how significant are they to a president's legacy?\n\nOne of the first ways a new president is able to exercise political power is through unilateral executive orders.\n\nWhile legislative efforts take time, a swipe of the pen from the White House can often enact broad changes in government policy and practice.\n\nPresident Donald Trump has wasted little time in taking advantage of this privilege.\n\nGiven his predecessor's reliance on executive orders to circumvent Congress in the later days of his presidency, he has a broad range of areas in which to flex his muscle.\n\nHere's a look at some of what Mr Trump has done so far:\n\nMr Trump signed the order at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) undoing a key part of the Obama administration's efforts to tackle global warming.\n\nThe order reverses the Clean Power Plan, which had required states to regulate power plants, but had been on hold while being challenged in court.\n\nBefore signing the order, a White House official told the press that Mr Trump does believe in human-caused climate change, but that the order was necessary to ensure American energy independence and jobs.\n\nEnvironmental groups warn that undoing those regulations will have serious consequences at home and abroad.\n\n\"I think it is a climate destruction plan in place of a climate action plan,\" the Natural Resources Defense Council's David Doniger told the BBC, adding that they will fight the president in court.\n\nImmediate impact: A coalition of 17 states filed a legal challenge against the Trump administration's decision to roll back climate change regulations. The challenge, led by New York state, argued that the administration has a legal obligation to regulate emissions of the gases believed to cause global climate change. Mars Inc, Staples and The Gap are among US corporations who are also challenging Mr Trump's reversal on climate change policy.\n\nAfter an angry weekend in Florida in which he accused former-president Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower, Mr Trump returned to the White House to sign a revised version of his controversial travel ban.\n\nThe executive order titled \"protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States\" was signed out of the view of the White House press corps on 6 March.\n\nThe order's new language is intended to skirt the legal pitfalls that caused his first travel ban to be halted by the court system.\n\nImmediate impact: Soon after the order was signed, it was once again blocked by a federal judge, this time in Hawaii.\n\nSurrounded by farmers and Republican lawmakers, Mr Trump signed an order on 28 February directing the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers to reconsider a rule issued by President Obama.\n\nThe 2015 regulation - known as the Waters of the United States rule - gave authority to the federal government over small waterways, including wetlands, headwaters and small ponds.\n\nThe rule required Clean Water Act permits for any developer that wished to alter or damage these relatively small water resources, which the president described as \"puddles\" in his signing remarks.\n\nOpponents of Mr Obama's rule, including industry leaders, condemned it as a massive power grab by Washington.\n\nScott Pruitt, Mr Trump's pick to lead the EPA, will now begin the task of rewriting the rule, and a new draft is not expected for several years.\n\nImmediate impact: The EPA has been ordered to rewrite, or even repeal the rule, but first it must be reviewed. Water protection laws were passed by Congress long before Mr Obama's rule was announced, so it cannot simply be undone with the stroke of a pen. Instead the EPA must re-evaluate how to interpret the 1972 Clean Water Act.\n\nA bill the president signed on 16 February put an end to an Obama-era regulation that aimed at protecting waterways from coal mining waste.\n\nSenator Mitch McConnell had called the rule an \"attack on coal miners\".\n\nThe US Interior Department, which reportedly spent years drawing up the regulation before it was issued in December, had said it would protect 6,000 miles of streams and 52,000 acres of forests.\n\nAn attempt to cut down on the burden of small businesses.\n\nDescribed as a \"two-out, one-in\" approach, the order asked government departments that request a new regulation to specify two other regulations they will drop.\n\nThe Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will manage the regulations and is expected to be led by the Republican Mick Mulvaney.\n\nSome categories of regulation will be exempt from the \"two-out, one-in\" clause - such as those dealing with the military and national security and \"any other category of regulations exempted by the Director\".\n\nImmediate impact: Wait and see.\n\nProbably his most controversial action, so far, taken to keep the country safe from terrorists, the president said.\n\nThe effect was felt at airports in the US and around the world as people were stopped boarding US-bound flights or held when they landed in the US.\n\nImmediate impact: Enacted pretty much straight away. But there are battles ahead. Federal judges brought a halt to deportations, and legal rulings appear to have put an end to the travel ban - much to the president's displeasure.\n\nA fence is already in place along much of the US-Mexico border\n\nOn Mr Trump's first day as a presidential candidate in June 2015, he made securing the border with Mexico a priority.\n\nHe pledged repeatedly at rallies to \"build the wall\" along the southern border, saying it would be \"big, beautiful, and powerful\".\n\nNow he has signed a pair of executive orders designed to fulfil that campaign promise.\n\nOne order declares that the US will create \"a contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier\".\n\nThe second order pledges to hire 10,000 more immigration officers, and to revoke federal grant money from so-called \"sanctuary cities\" which refuse to deport undocumented immigrants.\n\nIt remains to be seen how Mr Trump will pay for the wall, although he has repeatedly insisted that it will be fully paid for by the Mexican government, despite their leaders saying otherwise.\n\nImmediate impact: The Department of Homeland Security has a \"small\" amount of money available (about $100m) to use immediately, but that won't get them very far. Construction of the wall will cost billions of dollars - money that Congress will need to approve. Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Republican-led Congress will need to come up with $12-$15bn more, and the funding fight - and any construction - will come up against issues with harsh terrain, private land owners and opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans.\n\nThe department will also need additional funds from Congress to hire more immigration officers, but the order will direct the head of the agency to start changing deportation priorities. Cities targeted by the threat to remove federal grants will likely build legal challenges, but without a court injunction, the money can be removed.\n\nThe Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, along with Arizona Democrat Raul Graijalva, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.\n\nThey argue the Department of Homeland Security is required to draft a new environmental review of the impacts of the wall and other border enforcement activities as it could damage public lands.\n\nWith the stroke of a pen...\n\nOn his second full working day, the president signed two orders to advance construction of two controversial pipelines - the Keystone XL and Dakota Access.\n\nMr Trump told reporters the terms of both deals would be renegotiated, and using American steel was a requirement.\n\nKeystone, a 1,179-mile (1,897km) pipeline running from Canada to US refineries in the Gulf Coast, was halted by President Barack Obama in 2015 due to concerns over the message it would send about climate change.\n\nThe second pipeline was halted last year as the Army looked at other routes, amid huge protests by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe at a North Dakota site.\n\nImmediate impact: Mr Trump has granted a permit to TransCanada, the Keystone XL builder, to move forward with the controversial pipeline. As a result, TransCanada will drop an arbitration claim for $15bn in damages it filed under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mr Trump made no mention of an American steel requirement. Construction will not start until the company obtains a permit from Nebraska's Public Service Commission.\n\nThe Dakota Access pipeline has since been filled with oil and the company is in the process of preparing to begin moving oil.\n\nIn one of his first actions as president, Mr Trump issued a multi-paragraph directive to the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies involved in managing the nation's healthcare system.\n\nThe order states that agencies must \"waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay\" any portions of the Affordable Care Act that creates financial burden on states, individuals or healthcare providers.\n\nAlthough the order technically does not authorise any powers the executive agencies do not already have, it's viewed as a clear signal that the Trump administration will be rolling back Obama-era healthcare regulations wherever possible.\n\nImmediate impact: Republicans failed to secure an overhaul of the US healthcare system due to a lack of support for the legislation. That means Mr Trump's executive order is one of the only remaining efforts to undermine Obamacare.\n\nAbortion activists were among the many protesters that came out against Trump's presidency one day after his inauguration\n\nWhat's called the Mexico City policy, first implemented in 1984 under Republican President Ronald Reagan, prevents foreign non-governmental organisations that receive any US cash from \"providing counselling or referrals for abortion or advocating for access to abortion services in their country\", even if they do so with other funding.\n\nThe ban, derided as a \"global gag rule\" by its critics, has been the subject of a political tug-of-war ever since its inception, with every Democratic president rescinding the measure, and every Republican bringing it back.\n\nAnti-abortion activists expected Mr Trump to act quickly on this - and he didn't disappoint them.\n\nImmediate impact: The policy will come into force as soon as the Secretaries of State and Heath write an implementation plan and apply to both renewals and new grants. The US State Department has notified the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that US funding for United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) would be withdrawn, arguing that it supports coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation. The agency has denied this, pointing to examples of its life-saving work in more than 150 countries and territories.\n\nThis policy will be much broader than the last time the rule was in place - the Guttmacher Institute, Kaiser Family Foundation and Population Action International believe the order, as written, will apply to all global health funding by the US, instead of only reproductive health or family planning.\n\nThe TPP pact would have affected 40% of global trade.\n\nThe Trans-Pacific Partnership, once viewed as the crown jewel of Barack Obama's international trade policy, was a regular punching bag for Mr Trump on the campaign trail (although he at times seemed uncertain about what nations were actually involved).\n\nThe deal was never approved by Congress so it had yet to go into effect in the US.\n\nTherefore the formal \"withdrawal\" is more akin to a decision on the part of the US to end ongoing international negotiations and let the deal wither and die.\n\nImmediate impact: Takes effect immediately. In the meantime, some experts are worried China will seek to replace itself in the deal or add TPP nations to its own free trade negotiations, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), excluding the US.", "The parents of the UK's youngest organ donor want to meet the woman whose life their baby daughter saved.\n\nHer parents Andrew and Emma Lee have received a letter from the 26-year-old woman, who received liver cells from their baby, saying how \"thankful\" she is.\n\nMr Lee said they \"would love\" to meet her.\n\nFor more on this, and other stories visit BBC Local Live: Suffolk", "And finally Teddy Everett sent in an image titled Fruit ninja.

New Nigerian homes are being built on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean\n\nNigeria's largest city Lagos is facing a housing crisis. The BBC's Nancy Kacungira looks at how entrepreneurs are trying to solve the crisis.\n\nAffordable housing is a considerable challenge for urban areas with large populations, and this is particularly prevalent in the Nigeria's city of Lagos.\n\nMore than 500,000 people move to the city every year, and across Nigeria, there is already a housing deficit of more than 17 million units.\n\nThere are on-going projects of varying scale trying to address the shortage; one is reclaiming land from the Atlantic Ocean to build a new city suburb called Eko Atlantic on the shores of Victoria Island.\n\nTonnes of sand and heavy rock were poured into the ocean to provide 10 sq km (3.8 sq miles) of land for shops, offices and homes.\n\nProtected by an 8km long sea wall, the city will have its own power and water supply, and even an independent road network.\n\nDevelopers say Eko Atlantic is aimed at those on a middle income\n\nEko Atlantic will be able to accommodate more than 500,000 people, but the multibillion dollar project has been perceived as being \"only for the rich\".\n\nRonald Chagoury Jr, one of the developers, says it is a perception they have been trying to shake off.\n\n\"From the beginning we always thought that this would be a city for the middle income.\n\n\"We know that the middle income has grown significantly in the past 15 years and we know that it is going to grow even more.\"\n\nStill, some residents of Lagos feel that there are already many housing options - they just cannot afford them.\n\nProperties are pricey and landlords typically require annual, not monthly rent payments.\n\nBanking consultant Abimbola Agbalu tells me that he has to live at his grandmother's house, because renting his own place would be too expensive.\n\nSome housing projects remain unoccupied because they are pricey\n\n\"If I wanted to rent a house where I would prefer in Lagos I would be spending at least 80% of my pay cheque to move in because I would have to pay two years' rent upfront, agency fees and maintenance fees.\n\n\"And from then on I would have to spend another 60-70% of my pay cheque every year on rent, which doesn't make sense.\n\n\"The problem is not that there are no houses. If you look around, there are empty houses all over Lagos; some can even go a year without being rented out.\n\n\"The problem is that people can't afford them. We need better alternatives.\"\n\nOne Nigerian company is thinking inside the box in order to provide a cheaper housing option - by making homes out of cargo containers.\n\nDele Ijaiya-Oladipo says he co-founded Tempohousing Nigeria to provide a creative solution in a city that desperately needs low-cost housing.\n\nShipping containers are modified to make houses but Nigerians are not keen on them\n\n\"The only way we can get the housing deficit sorted is by providing good quality houses at affordable rates.\n\n\"You can't build a million homes at a price that no-one will ever afford - that doesn't achieve anything.\"\n\nMr Ijaiya-Oladipo's container homes are 25% cheaper than traditional housing, and can be built in as little as two weeks.\n\n\"But the concept is still foreign to many Nigerians; so most of his clients tend to use the containers to build office spaces, not homes,\" he says.\n\n\"Until a potential client actually sees our past work, they can't really picture how a shipping container can be used as a finished house or office.\n\n\"We have to encourage people to visit our office which is made out of containers, so they can see what we are talking about.\"\n\nFrom a self-sustaining city to refurbished-shipping containers, private sector real-estate developers are offering both big and small solutions - and Lagos needs them all.\n\nThe city is Africa's largest, and its population is expected to double by 2050; putting even more pressure on already limited housing options.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. How GreyOrange is becoming India's home-grown robotics giant\n\nIn 2008, engineering student Samay Kohli wanted to build a humanoid robot, but his professor told him it would not be possible.\n\nAlong with his fellow student Akash Gupta, not only did they achieve that task, but they have also built GreyOrange, a multi-national robotics company based in India and operating across Asia.\n\n\"We've done some stuff that India was not supposed to do,\" Mr Kohli told the BBC. \"People are not supposed to build hardware, robot products, out of India and we've been able to do that.\"\n\nAcyut was India's first home-grown humanoid robot and the first robot the team behind GreyOrange built\n\nSo how did GreyOrange grow from an engineering classroom to an international robotics player?\n\nMr Kohli and Mr Gupta proved their teacher wrong, building India's first humanoid robot, which they called Acyut. They then entered their creation in kung fu competitions and international robot football championships.\n\nThe team also won several robotic competitions around the world.\n\nBut it was a different passion that has seen GreyOrange grow - not for sport, but for online shopping.\n\nIndia's online shopping boom is driving massive international investment in the country's e-commerce sector\n\nThe e-commerce sector in India has seen unprecedented growth in the last few years.\n\nRoughly 350 million Indian citizens are online and according to international payment company Worldpay, that will nearly double by 2020, when they will spend $63.7bn (£51.8bn) online.\n\nDespite companies often making a loss as they offer deeper and deeper discounts to attract customers, investors have flooded into the sector. More than $5bn (£4bn) of private investment was ploughed into the sector in 2015, according to global consultancy PwC.\n\nAmazon recently announced it would invest an additional $3bn in India, on top of the $2bn it announced in 2014.\n\nWhile online retailing is only a part of e-commerce, it is the area that many see as the one with the biggest growth potential.\n\nThose retailers servicing millions of consumers will need to keep their goods in warehouses, and those warehouses need to be efficient. That's where GreyOrange has positioned itself.\n\nIn India, GreyOrange says it has 90% of the warehouse automation market and it has worked with leading e-commerce and logistics firms in the country.\n\nThey also run eight offices in five countries and employ more than 650 people.\n\nGreyOrange claims AI robot Butler can make a warehouse up to five times more efficient\n\n\"Warehouses are everywhere and they are supposed to become more and more intelligent as consumer demand increases.'' says Mr Kohli.\n\nGreyOrange has two different robots to help warehouses become more productive.\n\nButler, an artificial intelligence-powered robotic system, helps pick products from shelves in the warehouse.\n\n''A single person would pick about 100 to 120 items in one hour. With our Butler robot, he is able to pick 400 to 500 items every hour.\" Mr Kohli says.\n\nThe second robot, Sorter, automates the sorting of outgoing packages in a distribution centre.\n\nThey say that the robots they already have installed can potentially sort three million packages every day.\n\nSamay Kohli (left) and Akash Gupta are the founders of GreyOrange\n\nOne of the biggest challenges to the company's success has been sourcing parts.\n\n''India does not have a very strong hardware ecosystem.\" explains Paula Mariwala, who invests in technology based start-ups for SeedFund.\n\n\"So to source the right products and to get manufacturing going at a large scale in the early stages is particularly difficult. You would not be able to try out different components to have different versions of the product very easily - your time cycles will be longer. ''\n\nThe size of the potential prize is what has helped the founders overcome these problems.\n\n''We were looking at how robots are going to be the next revolution that is coming right, the next decade is going to be all about making humans more efficient by using robots more and that's essentially how we got started.'' Mr Kohli says.\n\n''Robots are needed to work with humans and not to replace them. Humans will always be there in the workplace, but robots make a very important part of the ecosystem they work with.\n\n\"Ten years ago, every person did not have a computer, today every person has one computer. We look at robots in that sense: as everyone has one computer, in the future they will have one robot with them to help them do their work better.\n\n\"It's a trillion-dollar opportunity, that's the space we're fighting in. ''", "The UK is set for a hard Brexit from the EU\n\nSo the UK, it seems, is headed out of the European Union's single market, perhaps also out of the customs union.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May has said she wants to preserve barrier-free trade between the UK and the EU as far as possible.\n\nOne option that has been floated, if the two sides can't agree a comprehensive free trade agreement, is sectoral deals. They might cover cars, for example, or perhaps financial services.\n\nBut there is a problem with this approach: World Trade Organization rules.\n\nPerhaps the most fundamental idea behind the WTO's rule book is non-discrimination.\n\nIt goes by the rather confusing name of \"most favoured nation\".\n\nIt is Article 1 of the WTO's main legal agreement. It means that you must give the same degree of access to your home market that you give to the most favoured nation to all WTO members. A favour for one should be given to all.\n\nYou should not discriminate for or against any WTO member.\n\nThere are a few situations where the rules allow countries to depart from this principle - the one that is relevant here is for free-trade areas and customs unions (the two have important similarities, but are not the same).\n\nThe World Trade Organization is based in Geneva and came into being in 1995\n\nThe WTO's rule book says the member countries \"recognise the desirability of increasing freedom of trade by the development, through voluntary agreements, of closer integration between the economies of countries parties to such agreements\".\n\nSo a trade agreement between the UK and the EU would be allowed under WTO rules, in fact welcomed, even though it is something that is intrinsically discriminatory. It would involve the EU and the UK discriminating in favour of each other against outside countries.\n\nOf course, the EU itself has the same effect, offering EU members better access to each other's markets than is available to either China or the United States, for example.\n\nBut there is a catch. The WTO rules say such agreements should cover \"substantially all the trade\" between the members of the customs union or free-trade area.\n\nWhat does \"substantially all\" mean? There is some case law which touched on this. A dispute between Turkey (which has a customs union agreement with the EU) and India went to the WTO's appeals body, which said in its report: \"It is clear, though, that 'substantially all the trade' is not the same as all the trade, and also that 'substantially all the trade' is something considerably more than merely some of the trade.\"\n\nNot as cut and dried as you might hope, but all the trade experts I have spoken to say that a deal covering just a few sectors wouldn't qualify.\n\nThat seems to be reinforced by what a WTO dispute panel said in another case. This one, as it happens was about cars, an agreement between the US and Canada in the 1960s known as the Auto Pact.\n\nThere is one line in the panel's ruling that is particularly relevant here: \"The Auto Pact, nevertheless, is a purely sectoral agreement which does not meet the requirements of Article XXIV:8\" - that is the provision that sets out the \"substantially all the trade\" requirement.\n\nSo such a narrow sectoral deal might well be vulnerable to challenge in the WTO.\n\nBut would it actually happen?\n\nThere seems to be a great deal of reluctance to challenge these agreements. (The India v Turkey and Auto Pact disputes were not fundamentally about the wider trade agreements, but about very specific restrictions that the complaining country thought were against the rules.)\n\nMore than 600 of them have been notified to the WTO or its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.\n\nMany are thought to stretch the credibility of \"substantially all trade\", by having various sectors uncovered.\n\nBut that makes countries reluctant to challenge others, for fear of shining an unwelcome light on their own agreements. As one senior trade official put it to me: \"It's a glass houses kind of thing.\"\n\nSo a sectoral agreement between the UK and the EU might be challenged, but it would depend on whether any country wanted to do so.\n\nThink of cars. There is another factor that might make a challenge less likely. Japan and the United States have car industries that have a presence in Europe and might well benefit from a deal between the EU and UK.\n\nSo perhaps we might get away with a narrow trade agreement. Even so, the uncertainty would be unwelcome to the industry concerned.\n\nThere is also the possibility of simply ignoring any unwelcome WTO ruling. The WTO has no real powers of enforcement. It can allow the other side to retaliate, but it can't arrest the trade minister.\n\nOn the other hand, the British government appears to be keen on the rules-based system of international trade and would probably be very uncomfortable about defying a ruling.\n\nAll the more reason, if the UK and the EU are going to have a trade agreement, to get as many sectors covered as possible, to reduce the chances of a WTO challenge.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Watching Tommy Fleetwood smashing a three-wood to the home green, imploring it to reach its distant target to help him clinch a prestigious title, was outstanding sporting theatre.\n\nHere was a 26-year-old English star confirming his golfing renaissance by seizing the moment in champion style. He held off major winners Dustin Johnson and Martin Kaymer and it was stirring stuff.\n\nFleetwood's victory in the Abu Dhabi Championship also emphasised his place among the burgeoning talent pool populating the British golfing scene. It came seven days after Graeme Storm had beaten Rory McIlroy to the South African Open title.\n\nBut it was a long time in coming and with football, cricket, tennis, snooker and skiing all competing for your sporting attention on Sunday, you could be forgiven for switching away long before this exciting conclusion occurred.\n\nThe golfers were not especially slow but grouping them in three-balls, rather than the usual pairings of two, meant the weekend's twists and turns took an age to develop.\n\nSunday's champion chipped in for eagle on the 10th hole to leap into what should have been an absorbing title battle. However it was more than two full hours, during which the Southport star hit only 28 more shots, before the killer blow was administered.\n\nAnd even then we had to wait for the final trio, Dustin Johnson, Pablo Larrazabal and Tyrrell Hatton, to complete their rounds - another quarter of an hour or so - before Fleetwood could, at last, be crowned champion.\n\nAll week in Abu Dhabi, the talk was of growing the game and attracting more fans. We had music on the range and on the final day more tunes were played to accompany the players' walk to the first tee.\n\nStewards clapped together their wooden \"quiet please\" signs (oh, the irony) to try to generate more atmosphere, but with limited success. It wasn't, thankfully, the sort of entrance you would see at the Lakeside darts.\n\nNevertheless it was a refreshing start and the organisers should be applauded for making the effort to give the pro game a bit of a showbiz feel, make it less stuffy and more welcoming. After all, we have been calling for such thinking for long enough.\n\nThen, however, it all reverted to type. Spectators were put in their place with a warning, announced from the first tee, to put away cameras and phones before the formal introduction of the players.\n\nAll these announcements were made in English, which does little for game growing in Abu Dhabi. Let's not kid ourselves, these desert tournaments are purely the preserve of the ex-pat communities in the Middle East.\n\nAnd for the worldwide television audience, there was then a five-hour wait from the moment the final group teed off until the tournament was decided. That's a sizeable chunk of anyone's weekend.\n\nThe decision to play in threes was made because 73 players made the cut and this was the only way to get them all round in the available daylight with a one-tee start.\n\nLogistics determined the timetable, but when so many players make the cut (the leading 65 and ties qualify for the third round) it becomes too unwieldy.\n\nSecondary cuts at the 54-hole stage are employed in some events but they should become standard practice whenever the only alternative is playing three-balls on the marquee final day.\n\nAs all of the other modernising initiatives try to demonstrate, pro golf is showbiz. The sport itself, surely, has to reflect the fact by being engaging and watchable.\n\nSo there should be a second cut on a Saturday evening. It would inject more interest to the penultimate day and would leave only genuine contenders competing in the closing round.\n\nIt is unlikely to happen though. The golfers are likely to object to anything that makes tournaments more cut-throat and, don't forget, the tours are run for the benefit of the players, their members.\n\nBut the bigger picture - which is the small one that fills television screens - suggests there should be no room for petty self-interest and that something needs to happen.\n\nAfter all, what should have been a thrilling weekend was slow and stodgy and not the spectacle it deserved to be.\n\nOnly the die-hards, who stuck with it all the way, could genuinely appreciate Fleetwood's brilliant win and that cannot be right when trying to popularise golf is such a priority.", "The family of a teenager who died from a brain tumour has discovered dozens of previously unseen videos she made.\n\nCharlotte Eades, who died last February at the age of 19, was diagnosed with glioblastoma when she was 16.\n\nOn her YouTube channel the teenager from Brighton shared more than 100 inspirational videos about her battle with the disease.\n\nYou can see more on this story on Inside Out South East on BBC One at 19:30 GMT on Monday.", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "England flanker James Haskell admits he doubted whether he would ever return from the foot injury which kept him out of action for six months.\n\nAfter his long-awaited comeback a fortnight ago was curtailed because of concussion, he played for almost an hour in Wasps' win at Zebre on Sunday.\n\n\"It's been the hardest six months of my professional career,\" he told BBC 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast.\n\n\"There was a time when I thought I was never going to make it back.\"\n\nHaskell had been nursing a long-standing problem with his toe before it finally gave way completely late on in the second Test in Australia in June 2016.\n• None Podcast: Listen to the first Rugby Union Weekly\n\n\"There were a lot of sessions where I would take three steps forward and two steps back, but we got there in the end,\" added Haskell.\n\n\"I tried to do the basics well [against Zebre], I've obviously got a bit of discomfort in the foot, but you are always going to have that.\"\n\nWasps' victory in Parma secured a place in the last eight of the Champions Cup, and set up a meeting with Leinster in Dublin.\n\n\"They have got better from where they were last season, they have keep improving, and they've got such a legacy in European rugby,\" Haskell added.\n\n\"Irish rugby is in a really good place from the national side downwards.\n\n\"It's going to be a challenging place to go and play, but it's why we are so desperate to be in the top tier of Europe, to go to places like Leinster and have a big European tear-up.\"\n\nHowever, an officiating blunder in the narrow defeat by Connacht - who were incorrectly allowed to kick a penalty to touch after the final whistle and then scored the winning try from the subsequent line-out - means Dai Young's men missed out on a home draw.\n\n\"These things happen - there is nothing you can do about it,\" Haskell said.\n\n\"It is what it is, and we now have to go to a tough place to get a win, but if you want to be the best in Europe you have to go away and get these results.\"\n\nHaskell and his Wasps team-mates will join up with the England squad in Portugal on Monday as they prepare for the upcoming Six Nations.\n\nThe 31-year-old was a key part of England's Grand Slam and unbeaten tour of Australia in 2016, but having missed the autumn internationals, he faces a battle to wrestle back the open-side flanker shirt from Tom Wood, who was singled out for praise this week by England boss Eddie Jones.\n\n\"There is so much competition there, it's very exciting.

When she started training as an alligator catcher she was the only woman in her class, but - as she describes here - that made her even more determined to show she could jump on an animal many times her size, and tape its jaws tightly shut.\n\nWhen I first got my licence I was only doing this as a hobby, I'd go to work as a dental assistant and catch my alligators on the side.\n\nBut I got well known for taking the alligators alive, and I'm now doing this as my full time job.\n\nI've been a true animal lover all my life. I blame it on my mom. When we were little she was the one that would stop the car, pull over, and help turtles and ducks cross the road. We took in all the strays - cats, dogs, whatever needed a home.\n\nWhere I live in the south part of Texas we have a lot of alligators and there are these big master-plan communities that have manmade ponds and these ponds have alligators in them.\n\nThe homeowners are so afraid that they're going to eat their kids and that they're going to eat their dogs, but in the past 100 years we've only had one person killed by an alligator, so it's all just superstition.\n\nThese alligators have been around since the dinosaurs. They're great for the ecosystem, they keep all the aquatic life in check. They're actually really shy animals and they don't want to hurt anybody.\n\nBut people think of these guys as monsters. They have this vision in their head, and when I noticed this I thought, \"What can I do to help change people's mindset?\"\n\nAfter reports that golfers were being mean to this giant alligator, Kroboth was called in to safely remove it from a Texan golf course\n\nYou can't just go out and catch an alligator because alligators are protected by the state here in Texas. You have to have a special licence and a permit.\n\nI registered to be an alligator hunter with Texas Parks and Wildlife and we had to go through a whole training course.\n\nI was the only girl in the class and also the youngest. We had to go through the rules, laws and regulations, and then the trainer told us: \"OK, you've all passed the paperwork, now let's go do this hands-on.\"\n\nI'd never even touched an alligator before and for a split second I thought, \"I can't do this.\" I called my mom and I said, \"Mom, I can't do this!\" And, of course, mom is like, \"Come home right now, don't do it!\"\n\nBut something told me: \"I have to do this - not only for the alligators, but to prove to these big ol' country boys that I can.\"\n\nI ran out to the pond, got the alligator, taped him up and ended up passing the test. It was one of the happiest moments of my life and that adrenaline rush lasted the whole day.\n\nThe biggest alligator I've ever caught was a 13ft (4m) male weighing more than 900lb (408kg). I'm 120lb (54kg), so he outweighed me by a good amount.\n\nHe was blind and lost in a parking lot and could not find his way back to the water.\n\nUsually we catch alligators by grabbing their jaws with both hands. Once you feel comfortable enough you let go with one hand and you reach the other hand into your pocket, grab your electrical [insulating] tape and tape his mouth shut. You've got to move fast.\n\nWell, this alligator was so big that my hands would not fit around his jaws. I was trying to call my buddies to help, but it was six o'clock in the morning and none of my volunteers were answering.\n\nI was able to sucker one of the local cops into trying to help me, but he didn't want to put his hands around the alligator's mouth, which is understandable.\n\nAnother way to catch an alligator is to try to outweigh them by jumping on their back, so I talked this poor cop into jumping on to the back of this alligator with me.\n\nThe trick is you put all your weight down and sit completely down on the alligator. Well, the officer didn't and he kind of just danced around the alligator which any untrained person probably would.\n\nThe alligator didn't like that, so he started wiggling around, trying to get away. I knew instantly this was not going to work, so I stood up to back off and the alligator swatted me with his tail and made me fall on my bottom right there beside his un-taped mouth.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Christy Kroboth and police officer in action in the car park\n\nWe were all worn out from trying to catch this alligator for four hours, the parking lot was getting busy and stores were starting to open so I had to make the decision to call in a game warden.\n\nI got very sad because game wardens usually don't come out and catch alligators, game wardens usually come out and kill alligators.\n\nI went to my car and I started crying because I'd been defeated by this animal. I called the game warden and he said, \"Christy, stop crying. I am going to come help you. Do not touch that alligator until I get there.\"\n\nWell, when he said that I just got so much energy, I was so happy. I got out of my car like I could just conquer the world because somebody was coming to help me.\n\nSomehow I was able to go up to the alligator and hold his jaws in my arm and tape his mouth shut with my right hand. We ran to Home Depot and got zip ties to tie the alligator's hands behind his back like he was in handcuffs so he couldn't walk off.\n\nThen the game warden showed up and he said, \"I told you not to catch him!\"\n\nI said, \"I'm sorry, I just had all this confidence and I was able to do it!\"\n\nWe had to borrow a forklift to pick the alligator up and load him in to my buddy's truck, because he was so big.\n\nPotentially dangerous alligators that cannot be released back into the wild are taken to a farm with tons of acreage and tons of ponds. But if the alligator can be released in the wild we have certain release sites where we can drop them off.\n\nI have an SUV and sometimes the smaller alligators will want to climb over the seats and try to make their way to the front to help me drive, so it's me and the alligator waving at people going down the freeways.\n\nI've found out if you make it freezing cold in your car the alligators are calmer. So although it's the middle of summertime here in Houston - 97F (36C), humidity - I'm on the freeway in a jacket with gloves and a scarf and a blanket wrapped around me because my car is freezing cold.\n\nBut the alligator is behaving, so that's all that matters.\n\nSometimes they go to the bathroom, and alligator poo is not that great, so we'll have to roll down the windows and travel on down the road.\n\nBeing the animal lover I am I think it's very important that we educate everybody on the animals that are living in their backyards and help them understand that we can all live together.\n\nI have three educational alligators, their names are Cam, Taylor and Halo. We call them our \"edugators\" because we take them to schools and we teach people alligator safety and alligator education.\n\nI work with these alligators every single day, they're used to being handled so they don't see us as a threat. They'll even sit on the couch and watch TV with me when they're not in their enclosures.\n\nWhen I go out on a catch sometimes there's a very afraid person there whose mindset is changed. They may say, \"Oh, I understand his importance now, I like him, let's name him.\" When I see that change in people that's what really drives me to do what I do.\n\nThat's why I wake up and why I do my job every single day.\n\nListen to Christy Kroboth speaking to Outlook on the BBC World Service\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "3.

The man picked by Liberty as F1's chairman - former Rupert Murdoch lieutenant Chase Carey - has been told in meetings with senior figures over the past few months that F1 is \"dysfunctional\" at present.\n\nSo what is around the corner in this brave new world?\n\nIf they were not before the deal was made, Liberty are well aware now that the sport they are taking over could be in better condition.\n\nCarey has been publicly quiet since Liberty bought the first tranche of its shareholding in September, but he has spent the time getting to know what the company that employed him has bought.\n• None The revenue system is skewed in favour of the already rich and powerful, to the extent that the smallest teams are struggling to survive and money is tight for about half the grid.\n• None There is a lack of competition on track.\n• None Television audience figures are dropping in many markets - although this is largely because of a switch to pay television, to make more money from TV rights deals.\n• None The longest-standing races are struggling to fund themselves and risk dropping off the calendar\n• None The decision-making process is not working properly.\n• None Some significant business and sporting decisions have been made for solely financial reasons, disregarding other important factors, such as their effects on the sporting side.\n• None An acceptance that F1 has lost some of its appeal, particularly a sense of edge and drama and as an extreme driver challenge.\n\nLiberty has decided to change much of that. The question is how.\n\nMany of those concerns can be laid at the door of F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone - it was he who set up the governance structure, brokered all the financial deals and signed another three-year contract with Pirelli as tyre supplier against the wishes of the drivers and a number of senior figures.\n\nLiberty had asked Ecclestone to stay on as chief executive officer under Carey, but for some time now the word inside F1 has been that the 86-year-old would be gone before long and on Monday he said he had been asked to step down from his position and take on a new one as a kind of honorary president.\n\nIt should be remembered that he is a fighter and a survivor and he has no desire to give up a business which he sees as his. And he has fought off at least one attempt by previous owners CVC Capital Partners to get rid of him.\n\nBut, whether he likes it or not, he will be an employee and therefore subject to the whims and wishes of his bosses - now Carey and Liberty owner John Malone.\n\nEcclestone has never really operated in such a situation before - by and large the previous owners, CVC, left him to his own devices. He likes to do things his way, and he is not one to enjoy outside interference.\n\nEcclestone's approach to business is adversarial. His problem is that Liberty have decided that they are going to run the business in a different way from now on - a more collegiate approach. He will either accept that and operate accordingly, or he won't be working there much longer.\n\nIt's hard to see how he could adapt to that way of working - or even want to. And senior sources in F1 say they believe that even if he does not go this week, they expect his departure to happen within a month.\n\nWhether he stays or not, changes will be made to the business structure. Liberty will employ two people to head up the different branches of the sport and oversee changes - commercial on the one hand; sporting and technical on the other.\n\nEx-ESPN marketing chief Sean Bratches has been given the commercial role, and former Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn the other.\n\nThe history of F1 over the last decade or so has been the decline of the number of races in Europe, and the struggles of many of those remaining to meet Ecclestone's increasingly high demands for race fees.\n\nGermany does not have a race this year, and its contract ends after next year's grand prix in Hockenheim.\n\nItaly struck a new three-year deal at the 11th hour this winter. Silverstone is reluctantly toying with the idea of ending its contract after 2019 if it cannot renegotiate terms.\n\nThrough all this, Ecclestone has acted as if he does not care - if a race in Europe won't pay the fees he wants, he has usually said, he'll find one elsewhere.\n\nThere's usually a controversial regime wanting to stump up a wad of cash to host an F1 race.\n\nLiberty want to end this. They see the historic European races - Britain, Germany, Italy, Belgium, for example - as a key aspect of F1 and one they have to nurture and cherish.\n\nThey recognise that Europe is F1's core market, where most of its TV audience is, and they want the races there to be the centrepiece of the 'new F1', one that has a visible link to a heritage it treasures.\n\nEcclestone's ethos has been to take F1 to any country that wants it and has a large enough chequebook to fund it.\n\nHis eye has been on the deal itself - and not on its wider consequences on F1.\n\nThis is how F1 has ended up with races in Bahrain and Azerbaijan, countries with controversial records on human rights, and how Ecclestone has found himself for the last three years sitting next to Vladimir Putin at the Russian Grand Prix.\n\nAll three countries pay astronomical fees for their races - Russia $50m year; Azerbaijan a reputed $75m, for example.\n\nLiberty wants to take a different approach. For them, deals based solely on the bottom line and nothing else are not necessarily the right deals.\n\nThey want to expand F1 - but they want new races to be held in the right places and for the right reasons. And they are prepared to invest to make it happen.\n\nThis is a massive shift from Ecclestone's approach.\n\nThe idea of spending money now to earn more later has largely been anathema to Ecclestone.\n\nSome argue it has been one of the reasons why he struggled for so long to establish a race in the USA until Austin, Texas, came along.\n\nLiberty are open about wanting races in New York and Los Angeles - or near enough to be easily identified as such - and are prepared to put down their own money to make it happen.\n\nThey have also talked about more races in Latin America and Asia.\n\nCarey has been clear that he sees the opportunity to expand the business \"in all areas\", but the one where there is most room for improvement is in exploiting the internet.\n\nEcclestone has made no secret of the fact that he does not really get social media, nor see any opportunity to monetise it.\n\nYounger people in F1 have grown frustrated with this, and realise that there are any number of things that could be done.\n\nBut, aware that rare has been the person who has crossed Ecclestone without consequence, they have in recent years kept their counsel and waited for a change to happen.\n\nLiberty are clear that this is an area where they see vast potential, and it's quite conceivable that, over time, the entire business model of F1 will change as a result.\n\nRight now, F1 is sold as a whole package to one or sometimes two TV stations in a country. But insiders see the opportunity to sell it piecemeal through the internet, with varying degrees of access for varying amounts of money.\n\nPromotionally, too, there is a lot of room to make gains.\n\nEcclestone is called the \"promoter\". But many argue that's a misnomer - in that he doesn't really do any promoting at all.\n\nArrive in any city or country hosting a grand prix and it is often hard to tell there is an event going on.\n\nMany races are not sold out - but how are people who might have a passing interest in going expected to know when that opportunity exists without them being advertised effectively?\n\nLiberty are talking about having \"20 Super Bowls\". By which they don't mean an Americanisation of the event - but of making a bigger deal of the event itself wherever it is being held.\n\nBuild it up in the week before the race with various promotional activities and so on.\n\nMany F1 insiders recognise that in recent years the sport has lost its way a little.\n\nIt remains the arena where the best drivers in the world race in the fastest cars, but its edginess has been dulled.\n\nThe risk and challenge are still there - but less apparent.\n\nLiberty are keen to get this back.\n\nThis year's new rules - decided upon long before Liberty was involved - are a first step in that direction, with wider, more dramatic-looking cars expected to lap up to five seconds faster and provide a more extreme physical challenge for the drivers.\n\nBut the jury is still out as to whether this will work.\n\nNo-one doubts the cars will be dramatically faster. The question is whether Pirelli has managed to build the more durable tyres that have been demanded to go with them.\n\nF1 bosses have drawn up a set of requirements for Pirelli that they expect to lead to tyres on which drivers can push flat out most of the time - which has simply not been possible since 2011 because the tyres have been too fragile.\n\nIf this has not happened, it will turn out to have been rather pointless to make faster cars because the drivers will not be able to use all their potential.\n\nLiberty - having taken over the contract Ecclestone struck with Pirelli - have been made aware of these issues and will be watching closely.\n\nAnother area which may come under scrutiny is driver head protection.\n\nGoverning body the FIA has been working hard on the 'halo' device which protects drivers from heavy flying debris. It is planned for introduction in 2018.\n\nBut while the vast majority of drivers are in favour of it, the FIA has recently said its introduction depends on a philosophical discussion about aesthetics and the nature of F1.\n\nThe halo could yet be abandoned if it is considered contrary to the ethos of open-wheel, open-cockpit racing - although the drivers may fight against this.\n\nEverything is up for discussion - even the format of the race weekend itself. But Liberty wants to take an inclusive approach to any change, rather than the imposition Ecclestone has tended to pursue.\n\nIt is easy to see problems with some of Liberty's plans.\n\nFor one thing, they - like any other business - are in this to make money. And if they are going to make the European races more affordable for promoters and spend money establishing new ones in America, they are going to affect the bottom line, at least in the short term.\n\nBut they seem deadly serious about it.\n\nEqually, there are unlikely to be big changes immediately.\n\nAlthough Carey has been working hard for months, it will take time for Liberty to fully understand the business, and even longer to make some of the changes needed to its structures.\n\nThe immediate concern will be to tie the teams down to new contracts - those of everyone bar Renault end in 2020 - and with them, presumably, a changed prize money structure.\n\nThat in itself won't be easy - how will Ferrari react, for example, if they are told they cannot keep all of the $100m payment they currently receive just for being Ferrari?\n\nChange is definitely coming, though. Be in no doubt about that.", "The appearance of fake news on websites and social media has inspired scientists to develop a \"vaccine\" to immunise people against the problem.\n\nResearchers suggest \"pre-emptively exposing\" readers to a small \"dose\" of the misinformation can help organisations cancel out bogus claims.\n\nStories on the US election and Syria are among those to have caused concern.\n\n\"Misinformation can be sticky, spreading and replicating like a virus,\" said the University of Cambridge study's lead author Dr Sander van der Linden.\n\n\"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.\"\n\nThe study, published in the journal Global Challenges, was conducted as a disguised experiment.\n\nMore than 2,000 US residents were presented with two claims about global warming.\n\nThe researchers say when presented consecutively, the influence well-established facts had on people were cancelled out by bogus claims made by campaigners.\n\nBut when information was combined with misinformation, in the form of a warning, the fake news had less resonance.\n\nFabricated 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nMeanwhile, 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\".\n\nThe 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.\n\nThere 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.", "Thieves are using tracking devices to steal Land Rovers which are then broken down and exported.\n\nThe final Land Rover Defender rolled off the production line in January 2016 - the NFU Mutual insurance company says since then there has been a surge in theft claims.\n\nSome Land Rover owners are now fighting back by using social media to track down their vehicles.\n\nYou can see more on this story on Inside Out South East on BBC One at 19:30 GMT on Monday.", "As Michelle O'Neill becomes the new Sinn Féin leader north of the border, BBC News NI looks at her career to date.", "Skier Dave Ryding matches Britain's best alpine World Cup result by finishing second in the Kitzbuhel slalom in Austria, equalling Konrad Bartelski's placing in the downhill in Italy in 1981.", "In the space of 24 hours, Washington was the scene of two Americas.\n\nPresident Trump's supporters came feeling they've just taken their country back.\n\nThe protesters on the women's march feel they have just lost theirs.

Those are the facts.\n\nThese marches put faces to those numbers.", "In 1948, N Joseph Woodland - a graduate student at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia - was pondering a challenge from a local retailer: how to speed up the tedious process of checking out in his stores by automating transactions.\n\nA smart young man, Woodland - known as Joseph - had worked on the Manhattan Project during the War, and had designed a better system for playing elevator music. But he was stumped.\n\nThen, sitting on Miami Beach while visiting his grandparents, his fingertips idly combing through the sand, a thought struck him. Just like Morse code used dots and dashes to convey a message, he could use thin lines and thick lines to encode information.\n\nA zebra-striped bull's-eye could describe a product and its price in a code that a machine could read.\n\nThe idea was workable, but with the technology of the time it was costly. But as computers advanced and lasers were invented, it became more realistic.\n\n50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations that have helped create the economic world we live in.\n\nThe striped-scan system was independently rediscovered and refined several times over the years. In the 1950s, an engineer, David Collins, put thin and thick lines on railway cars so they could be read automatically by a trackside scanner.\n\nIn the early 1970s, IBM engineer George Laurer figured out that a rectangle would be more compact than Woodland's bull's-eye.\n\nHe developed a system that used lasers and computers that were so quick they could process labelled beanbags hurled over the scanner.\n\nMeanwhile American's grocers were also pondering the benefits of a pan-industry product code.\n\nIn September 1969, members of the administrative systems committee of the Grocery Manufacturers of America met their opposite numbers from the National Association of Food Chains. Could the retailers and the producers agree?\n\nWrigley's chewing gum would be the first product sold via a barcode in 1974\n\nThe GMA wanted an 11-digit code, which would encompass various labelling schemes they were already using. The NAFC wanted a shorter, seven-digit code, which could be read by simpler and cheaper checkout systems.\n\nThe meeting broke up in frustration. Years of careful diplomacy - and innumerable committees, subcommittees and ad hoc committees were required before, finally, the US grocery industry agreed upon a standard for the universal product code, or UPC.\n\nIt all came to fruition in June 1974 at the checkout counter of Marsh's Supermarket in the town of Troy, Ohio, when a 31-year-old checkout assistant named Sharon Buchanan scanned a 10-pack of 50 sticks of Wrigley's juicy fruit chewing gum across a laser scanner, automatically registering the price of $0.67 (£0.55).\n\nThe gum was sold. The barcode had been born.\n\nWe tend to think of the barcode as a simple piece of cost-cutting technology: it helps supermarkets do their business more efficiently, and so it helps us to enjoy lower prices.\n\nBut the barcode does more than that. It changes the balance of power in the grocery industry.\n\nThat is why all those committee meetings were necessary, and it is why the food retailing industry was able to reach agreement only when the technical geeks on the committees were replaced by their bosses' bosses, the chief executives.\n\nPart of the difficulty was getting everyone to move forward on a system that did not really work without a critical mass of adopters.\n\nIt was expensive to install scanners. It was expensive to redesign packaging with barcodes - bear in mind the Miller Brewing Company was still printing labels for its bottles on a 1908 printing press.\n\nThe retailers did not want to install scanners until the manufacturers had put barcodes on their products. The manufacturers did not want to put barcodes on their products until the retailers had installed enough scanners.\n\nBut it also became apparent over time that the barcode was changing the tilt of the playing field in favour of a certain kind of retailer. For a small, family-run convenience store, the barcode scanner was an expensive solution to problems they did not really have.\n\nBut big supermarkets could spread the cost of the scanners across many more sales. They valued shorter lines at the checkout. They needed to keep track of inventory.\n\nWith a manual checkout, a shop assistant might charge a customer for a product, then slip the cash into a pocket without registering the sale. With a barcode and scanner system, such behaviour would become conspicuous.\n\nAnd in the 1970s, a time of high inflation in America, barcodes let supermarkets change the price of products by sticking a new price tag on the shelf rather than on each item.\n\nIt is hardly surprising that as the barcode spread in the 1970s and 1980s, large retailers also expanded. The scanner data underpinned customer databases and loyalty cards.\n\nBy tracking and automating inventory, it made just-in-time deliveries more attractive, and lowered the cost of having a wide variety of products. Shops in general - and supermarkets in particular - started to generalise, selling flowers, clothes, and electronic products.\n\nWal-Mart founder Sam Walton was able to exploit the possibilities barcodes offered\n\nRunning a huge, diversified, logistically complex operation was all so much easier in the world of the barcode.\n\nPerhaps the ultimate expression of that fact came in 1988 when the discount department store Wal-Mart decided to start selling food.\n\nIt is now the largest grocery chain in America - and by far the largest general retailer on the planet, about as large as its five closest rivals combined. Wal-Mart was an early adopter of the barcode and has continued to invest in cutting-edge computer-driven logistics and inventory management.\n\nThe company is now a major gateway between Chinese manufacturers and American consumers. Its embrace of technology helped it grow to a vast scale, meaning it can send buyers to China and commission cheap products in bulk.\n\nFrom a Chinese manufacturer's perspective, you can justify setting up an entire production line for just one customer - as long as that customer is Wal-Mart.\n\nThe cost of adopting barcodes initially put off some manufacturers such as Miller\n\nGeeks rightly celebrate the moment of inspiration as Joseph Woodland languidly pulled his fingers through the sands of Miami Beach - or the perspiration of George Laurer as he perfected the barcode as we know it.\n\nBut it is not just a way to do business more efficiently. It also changes what kind of business can be efficient.\n\nThe barcode is now such a symbol of the forces of impersonal global capitalism that it has spawned its own ironic protest. Since the 1980s, people have been registering their opposition to \"The Man\" by getting themselves tattooed with a barcode.\n\nYes, those distinctive black and white stripes are a neat little piece of engineering. But that neat little piece of engineering has changed how the world economy fits together.", "More than $11m (£8.8m) is missing from The Gambia's state coffers following the departure of long-time leader Yahya Jammeh.\n\nMr Jammeh flew into exile on Saturday, ending his 22 years in power.", "Sinn Féin's successor as Northern Ireland leader of the party will be announced next week\n\nFormer deputy first minister Martin McGuinness has confirmed he will not stand in the Northern Ireland Assembly election.\n\nHis successor as Sinn Féin's leader in Northern Ireland will be announced next week.\n\nSo who will replace him?

Can Trump accomplish what he wants?\n\nDonald Trump has promised to take Washington by storm.\n\nThere is almost nothing the new American president does not want to change - policy, tone, foreign relations, the press pool. Mr Trump has told his cabinet nominees to be bold and be bold now.\n\nHe wants a shake-up of US government and he wants it soon. That is why his first 100 days will be so definitive. He has set the timetable for an ambitious agenda and in the next three months we will find out how much he can really shift.\n\nThere is a lot happening in Europe also during this 100 days. Britain is beginning the formal process of Brexit and the Dutch will hold elections which could herald the next step in the transatlantic populist march.\n\nAnd of course, the French will gear up for their own election in which the National Front will be the focus of much attention. It is an extraordinary time on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nFormer President Obama has sent veiled warnings about the consequences of bold action\n\nThis exceptional moment demands examination and analysis. So the BBC is launching 100 Days, a daily programme that gives us the chance to look at these global shifts.\n\nIn many ways, the inauguration of Donald Trump marks the beginning of the test of the populist experiment. Now he owns the problems he campaigned against. Can his bold approach work, who will benefit and who won't and how will he engage with the rest of the world?\n\nEvery day for the next 100 days, with Christian Fraser in London and me in Washington, we will try to answer those questions.\n\nAs he left office, President Obama had a veiled warning for his successor - if you're going to try to change things and bring in bold ideas, make sure you're aware of the consequences. He also suggested that the weight of office would soon settle on Mr Trump's shoulders and cause him to look carefully and humbly at what he has taken on.\n\nKatty Kay and Christian Fraser will present 100 Days from Washington and London\n\nMr Trump goes into the White House as the least popular incoming president on record. He won't like that. We know from his election campaign that he watches polls closely and however hard he tries to dismiss them as \"phony\" or \"lying,\" they matter to him.\n\nHis low ratings today give him a powerful incentive to do better. That could mean a combination of both working on his tone (something which appears to be unpopular with large sections of the American public) and pushing hard with his agenda (much of which also seems to be popular with many Americans). That too, will make this a fascinating time.\n\nSome of this is under Mr Trump's control, but some of it is not. The Republican Party will have a big impact in making his first 100 days successful - they can boost his legislative agenda or kill it.\n\nThe party owes Mr Trump a lot, he has just handed them Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court, that will win him a lot of favours. But many Conservatives do not agree with everything he wants to do and, if his poll numbers stay low, they will have less incentive to help him out.\n\nSo we have a busy, fascinating few months ahead of us. This populist trend is global and the test starts now. Mr Trump wants to change the look, feel and smell of Washington. Funny that, so did Mr Obama eight years ago.\n\n100 Days, presented by Katty Kay and Christian Fraser, Monday - Thursday at 19:00 GMT on BBC News Channel and BBC Four and BBC World News at 19:00 GMT.", "Britain's Johanna Konta produces a terrific performance to beat Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-1 6-4 and set up an Australian Open quarter-final against Serena Williams.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nHull City midfielder Ryan Mason is conscious and has been speaking about the incident in which he fractured his skull during Sunday's game at Chelsea, the club said in a statement.\n\nMason, 25, clashed heads with Blues defender Gary Cahill 13 minutes into the Premier League match.\n\nHe was taken to St Mary's Hospital in London, where he had surgery.\n\n\"Ryan and his family have been extremely touched by the overwhelming support,\" added the statement.\n\n\"They would very much like to thank all of those who have posted such positive comments both on social media and in the press over the last 24 hours.\"\n\nHull added Mason would continue to be monitored at the hospital \"over the coming days\".\n\nTigers captain Michael Dawson, club doctor Mark Waller, head of medical Rob Price and club secretary Matt Wild visited Mason in hospital on Monday.\n\nCahill, Chelsea captain John Terry and assistant manager Steve Holland had visited on Sunday to check on Mason's well-being, and spent time with his family.\n\nMason, Hull's record signing, fractured his skull as he attempted to head the ball clear of his own box following a cross from Pedro.\n\nHe got to the ball a split second before Cahill, who was already committed to his attempted header, and the pair collided.\n\nBoth players spent a lengthy period receiving treatment, though Cahill was able to continue.\n\nMason joined Hull from Tottenham last August for a club-record undisclosed fee.\n\nHe has scored one goal in 16 Premier League appearances for the Tigers.\n\nPrior to his move, he made 53 top-flight appearances for Tottenham, and had loan spells at Yeovil, Doncaster, Millwall, Lorient and Swindon.\n\nHull lost Sunday's game 2-0 as goals from Diego Costa and Cahill gave Chelsea a victory that took them eight points clear at the top.\n\nHead traumas and the damage they can cause\n\nWhen head trauma happens, doctors are obviously concerned about how much damage there might be to the brain.\n\nSome skull fractures need little or no treatment and will heal by themselves with time.

I would like to thank all of the promoters, teams, sponsors and television companies that I have worked with.\n\n\"I'm very pleased that the business has been acquired by Liberty and that it intends to invest in the future of F1.

He is a very tough businessman but if he shakes your hand you don't need a contract. He's as good as his word.\n\n\"The most important thing under Bernie's rule was the safety aspect. Formula 1 has been absolutely transformed. There was a time when four or five people were being killed every year but Bernie, with the help of Professor Sid Watkins, transformed that situation.\"\n\nWhat did Ecclestone do for F1?\n\nEcclestone, the former team boss of Brabham, began in the 1970s as a representative of his colleagues in negotiations with circuits, television and authorities and slowly moved into a position of almost absolute power.\n\nHe was central in turning F1 from a relatively minority activity into one of the biggest television sports in the world outside the Olympics and the football World Cup.\n\nAfter selling Brabham in the late 1980s, he moved full-time into administration.\n\nHe took over the ownership of the commercial rights of F1 from the teams in the mid-1990s. He then struck a deal in 2000 with his long-time ally Max Mosley, then president of the FIA, to lease them for 110 years at what critics said was an absurdly low price of $360m (£287m).\n\nThat set in motion a series of sales where the rights were passed from one entity to another, a process that led Ecclestone to stand trial for bribery in Germany in 2014. The case was dropped after a payment of $100m (£79m) without presumption of guilt or innocence. Subsequently Liberty took over from previous owner CVC Capital Partners.\n\nEcclestone built F1 into a sport that could be valued by one of the world's biggest media groups at $8bn.\n\nHe did this by building up F1's exposure on television, forcing companies to transmit the whole championship rather than cherry-picking the odd race here and there as had been normal until the early 1980s.\n\nBut he has been criticised for his authoritarian grip on the sport and his controversial approach.\n\nIn recent years, his demands for ever-higher fees from race tracks led to several European races struggling to make ends meet. His decision-making was also questioned, particularly over issues such as the introduction of double points for the final race of the 2014 season, and the quickly abandoned change of the qualifying format in 2016.\n\nA prize-money structure he created in the early years of this decade is believed by many insiders to be unfairly skewed in favour of the bigger and richer teams, and the governance system he set up at the same time has led to a log-jam when it comes to decision-making.\n\nEqually, his public utterances were sometimes ill-advised, such as praising Adolf Hitler for \"being able to get things done\" and calling women \"domestic appliances\".\n\nAnd some of his choices of locations for new races were also controversial - in countries such as Bahrain, Russia and Azerbaijan which secured huge fees for CVC but were criticised because of the regimes' records on human rights.\n\nWhat changes does Liberty plan?\n\nLiberty has not publicly revealed what changes it will make to F1 but insiders say it plans to act on many of the areas that were considered a weakness under Ecclestone.\n\nIn particular, it wants to exploit digital media, an area with which Ecclestone refused to engage, and it intends to invest in securing the futures of certain races which it considers valuable.\n\nIt also wants to grow the sport in the USA, where F1 has long struggled to gain a sure foothold and promote it much more extensively, talking of creating \"20 Super Bowls\", in terms of making much more of the build-up to each race.", "Chapecoense football team has played its first match since the plane crash that killed most of its players.\n\nBefore the game’s start, the three players who survived the accident and families of the victims received medals and the Copa Sudamericana trophy.\n\nThe team was heading to Colombia to play in the first leg of the championship final when the accident happened.", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "In a 2014 lecture to students at his former high school, Sean Spicer outlined a set of 17 \"rules for life\" that they would be wise to follow.\n\nRule number 16, he told the students at Portsmouth Abbey in Rhode Island: \"Follow your mom's advice: It's not what you say, but how you say it. The tone and tenor of your words count.\"\n\nThe now White House press secretary also told students that they should be true to themselves. Rule number eight, was relevant here, he said. \"Trust your gut. If it does not feel right, use caution.\"\n\nWith that guidance in mind, Mr Spicer's bellicose press conference with the White House press corps on Saturday suggests that the new presidential spokesman will not sugar-coat his words over the next four years.\n\nWhile the press secretary-journalist relationship is naturally an adversarial one, Mr Spicer has, in his first few days in the role, already cast himself as being in open conflict with much of the mainstream media, pledging to \"hold the press accountable\".\n\nThis, it appears, is the frontline of a strategy that White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus described as a will to \"fight back tooth and nail every day\" at supposed media efforts to \"delegitimise\" the president.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Sean Spicer, White House press secretary said \"no-one had numbers\" for the inauguration\n\nMr Spicer, 45, is not a new hand at managing negative press coverage.\n\nHe previously served as spokesman and chief strategist for the Republican National Committee (RNC) and has long criticised coverage of his party and Mr Trump.\n\nHe took the post of communications director at the RNC in 2011, a time when it \"was deep in debt and had a badly tarnished brand\", according to the Republican Party website.\n\nHe is said to have helped turn around its fortunes by boosting the social media team, leading rapid response efforts to combat attacks, setting up an in-house video and production team and expanding the use of surrogates - people who can publicly appear on behalf of candidates, defend them and boost their appeal.\n\nMr Spicer has not shied away from criticising Mr Trump in the past. In July 2015, speaking on behalf of the RNC after Mr Trump questioned Republican Senator John McCain's status as a war hero, he said that there was \"no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honourably\".\n\nMr Spicer claimed President Trump's inauguration was the \"largest inaugural crowd ever\"\n\nHe also described Mr Trump's June 2015 comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and criminals as not being \"helpful to the cause\".\n\nBefore joining the RNC, he worked as Assistant US Trade Representative for Media and Public Affairs in the George W. Bush administration: a role that involved promoting the kind of free trade that his boss now fiercely criticises as being unfair for the American worker.\n\nStill, Mr Spicer was loyal to Mr Trump on the campaign trail even as the path-breaking candidate split the party and many Republican luminaries distanced themselves from him.\n\nThe broad-shouldered, compulsively gum-chewing Republican (\"Two and a half packs by noon,\" he told the Washington Post) is a long-time member of the US Navy Reserve.\n\nHe received a Masters degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in Newport in 2012 and is known to be fierce, and deeply competitive.\n\nOne editor who has been blasted many times by Mr Spicer told the Post that her young child recognises his voice on the phone and bursts into tears.\n\nHis wife Rebecca is the chief of communications at the National Beer Wholesalers Association and previously worked in the Bush White House after a career in television news.\n\nAs press secretary, Mr Spicer will serve as President Trump's most visible spokesman, and is expected to hold daily televised media briefings, though he has spoken of his desire to shake up the way White House media is managed.\n\nWhile he has said that Mr Trump will do press conferences, he also wants to utilise technology to \"have a conversation with the American people and not just limit it through the filter of the mainstream media\".\n\nHe has also described White House press briefings as having become \"somewhat of a spectacle\".

She wrote the post on the day she was discharged from a 12 week stay on the inpatient ward at the City and Hackney Centre for Mental Health in London.\n\nOne thing that struck many people who read Stevens' post on the online professional network was her unique vantage point - she has been both an employee and patient of the UK's National Health Service mental health programme.\n\nStevens began her career in the NHS as a mental health nurse. After 15 years she became a hospital manager, and then a director.\n\nAlthough she has suffered episodes of \"mild to moderate\" depression, she managed it through counselling and very few of her family and friends knew about it.\n\n\"There is a huge amount of stigma around mental illness,\" Stevens told BBC Trending, \"and for the past 29 years I have worked in Mental Health Services and seen the negative effect this stigma has on people who use our services. From personal embarrassment, family embarrassment, not accepting diagnoses or treatment, not wanting to attend mental health community services in case they are recognised. There is also stigma amongst family, friends and colleagues, including whispered rumours and avoidance.\"\n\nThen in November, things changed, and her depression became serious enough to warrant hospitalisation.\n\n\"When I was very, very depressed, anxious and suicidal I was so ill I was almost monosyllabic, I could hardy walk properly, I couldn't shower or dress properly. Eating and all the things that we take for granted were a huge struggle. I spent most of every day in bed, crying and wanting to be dead. I was absolutely terrible. So frightening and awful.\"\n\n\"The absolutely wonderful nurses on Gardner ward at City & Hackney Centre for Mental Health were amazing,\" Stevens says.\n\n\"They would come and see me very regularly throughout the day, spend time with me, encourage and support me, listen to me crying and talking and throwing up a huge amount of emotion. The staff nurses and the healthcare assistants were wonderful, accessible and compassionate 24/7. I am so proud of my profession.\"\n\nWhilst in hospital and after she was over the worst Stevens says she felt a bit like an \"undercover cop\" as she observed how the ward was run.\n\n\"Without exception the staff treated all of the patients with dignity and respect.\"\n\nWhen asked what she thinks of the state of the NHS right now, Stevens says, \"Very difficult for me to answer this question now… I can only talk about my particular experience as a patient in an 'Outstanding Trust' - which has been a great experience.\"\n\n\"I am, of course, aware that not everyone is as lucky as me to receive this type of care. Unfortunately, mental health services are always seen as the 'Cinderella services' with lower levels of funding and cuts.\"\n\nAnalysis by the King's Fund think tank says 40% of the 58 mental health trusts in the UK saw budgets cut in 2015-16. It found six of them had seen budgets cut three years in a row. An NHS spokeswoman told the BBC that mental health services were \"wider\" than trusts, and care was funded in other ways.\n\nSteven adds that help is there.\n\n\"There is a huge range of accessible services across the country. Your GP is usually the best place to start as they can signpost you to local services and, if necessary, they can refer you to formal mental health services, but there are also a wide variety of other services around run by volunteers,\" she says.\n\n\"My first message is to reach out to people. Speak to your close family and friends about your mental health, and start opening conversations about it.

Nate Simpson - What Are We Made Of?\n\n\"You opened your mouth and Jesus came out,\" said Nicole Scherzinger when Slough-born Nate Simpson auditioned for the X Factor last year.\n\nThat 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...\n\nThe 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.\n\nKey lyric: \"We're breathing underwater and the struggle makes us stronger.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nCanadian 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.\n\nOlivia 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.\n\nShe'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.\n\nKey lyric: \"Shiny hair and shoes, how about me and you?\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nA 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.\n\nAfter working as a wedding singer for four years, she auditioned for X Factor in 2012 but failed to progress beyond the initial stages.\n\nInstantly 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.\n\nAlthough the lyrics appear to carry an anti-war sentiment, Mastroianni says the song is about a relationship.\n\nKey lyric: \"Why can't we put our weapons down?\"\n\nFollow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nArsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged by the Football Association with verbal abusing and pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor during Sunday's Premier League game against Burnley.\n\nWenger, 67, pushed Taylor after being sent off in the closing stages of the Gunners' 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium.\n\nHe had been dismissed for reacting angrily to a 93rd-minute penalty given to Burnley, who trailed 1-0.\n\nWenger, who later apologised, has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond.\n\nAn FA statement read: \"It is alleged that in or around the 92nd minute, Wenger used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official.\n\n\"It is further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct.\"\n\nAfter being sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss, Wenger moved away from the pitch but stood at the tunnel entrance and refused to move as he tried to watch the remaining few minutes of Sunday's match.\n\nAs Taylor encouraged him to move away, Wenger was seen to push back against him.\n\nWhen asked about what had led to his dismissal, Wenger said: \"Look, it was nothing bad. I said something that you hear every day in football. Overall, nine times out of 10, you are not sent to the stand for that.\"\n\nHe added: \"But if I am, I am, and I should have shut up completely. I was quite calm for the whole game, more than usual.\"\n\nIn 2012, then-Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was fined £20,000 and given a two-match touchline ban for pushing an assistant referee during a game against Tottenham.", "Margaret Thatcher test-drove the new Rover outside 10 Downing Street - but not before a practice session\n\nOfficials feared Margaret Thatcher could crash Rover's new car when she test-drove it for a photocall, newly released papers suggest.\n\nA secret rehearsal was arranged at Chequers for the then PM to \"familiarise\" herself with the vehicle.\n\nHer newly released personal files cover 1986, when Michael Heseltine quit over the so-called Westland affair and the US launched bombing raids in Libya.\n\nThey have been published by the Thatcher Foundation.\n\nThe documents reveal careful planning behind the scenes to avoid anything going wrong with the Rover 800 photoshoot at Downing Street.\n\nThe PM's private secretary Mark Addison wrote to her: \"You are test driving the new Rover on Thursday.\n\n\"The most straightforward way of arranging this would probably be for you to drive the car from the front door towards the bottom of Downing Street, reversing into the side road, and then driving back up the street to the front door.\n\n\"If you would like to handle the test drive in this way, you would need to feel fully confident about manoeuvring the car into the side road and back out again.\n\n\"The alternative would be to walk down to the car at the bottom of Downing Street and drive it back to the front door.\n\n\"Agree to the first option? Or prefer to keep it simple.\"\n\nIn another memo, Mr Addison told her the car was being towed, under cover, to Chequers for her to rehearse beforehand.\n\nChris Collins, from the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust, said he believed Mrs Thatcher had seldom driven since 1975, leading to concern from officials.\n\n\"I think I'm reading between the lines but I'm reasonably confident that there was that worry, that there was this dark fear that she would crash into something, that it would all go horribly wrong, and after all she hadn't driven for many many years,\" he said.\n\nThe trust is overseeing the release of Mrs Thatcher's private files through the Churchill Archive Centre in Cambridge.\n\nThe files also reveal concerns that a blue, not a red, car should be supplied, but in the end the stunt passed without a hitch.\n\nThings went less smoothly for the prime minister when she tripped over a manhole at the Conservative Party conference in Bournemouth.\n\nIn a letter to the mayor apologising for pulling out of a civic ball that evening, she said: \"As you may have heard I tripped over one of Bournemouth's manholes this afternoon and my ankle didn't like it very much. Neither did the manhole!\"\n\nOther papers in the newly released batch include a letter - written but never sent - from Mrs Thatcher to the then defence secretary Michael Heseltine warning him to toe the line or give up office over the Westland affair.\n\nThe battle for control of British helicopter manufacturer Westland was one of the most divisive political rows of Mrs Thatcher's second term in office.\n\nFormer Defence Secretary Lord Heseltine stormed out of cabinet over the Westland affair\n\nThe letter, drafted three weeks before Mr Heseltine resigned over the row, tells him the government's view of the future of British helicopter manufacturer Westland is that it is \"a matter for the company to decide\", adding: \"In this situation no minister should use his position to promote one commercial option in preference to another - so long as he remains in government.\"\n\nA more minor helicopter-related exchange involved a request for Mrs Thatcher to use one to travel the short distance from Downing Street to the opening of the Broadgate development in the City of London.\n\nIn a hand-written note, the PM dismissed the \"ridiculous\" suggestion, saying it would be an \"unwarrantable extravagance and I should be criticised severely\".\n\nThe documents also cover the fallout from the US air strikes in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, for which Mrs Thatcher allowed the use of British airbases.\n\nOne note, before the PM was due to speak on the subject, said an \"unusually large number of calls\" had been received by Conservative Central Office expressing concern about the raids.\n\nAnother revealed a warning from a senior civil servant that Conservative Party chairman Norman Tebbit's \"obsession\" with attacking the BBC's coverage of the military strikes risked a repeat of the \"Westland troubles\".", "Last updated on .From the section Welsh Rugby\n\nSam Warburton says he remains as hungry as ever to play for Wales despite losing the captaincy to Alun Wyn Jones.\n\nWales start their Six Nations campaign in Italy on 5 February with Warburton endorsing interim head coach Rob Howley's decision to appoint Jones.\n\nWarburton, 28, has led Wales a record 49 times since being handed the captaincy by Warren Gatland in 2011.\n\n\"It's been lovely while I've done it but I can enjoy my rugby without it,\" said Warburton.\n\n\"It allows me to have a little bit more freedom.\n\n\"There comes a time in your career you need to focus on yourself. Even though you are in a team sport, you do still need to be selfish.\"\n\nSpeaking for the first time since the decision was announced, Warburton said: \"It's something I've known about for a while and spoken about it to Rob.\n\n\"There wasn't a definitive moment. This has been happening over the past few months.\n\n\"It probably came to our attention during the autumn, when we started talking about it, and through December and January.\n\n\"It was a decision we both agreed on and thought was best for myself individually and the team.\n\n\"You know it is a big call for a coach to drop his captain.\"\n\nWas it hard to take?\n\nWarburton insists he is not disappointed and is free to concentrate on securing his position in the Wales back row.\n\n\"I found it to be a relatively easy decision because captaincy has never been the motivation for me,\" said the Cardiff Blues flanker, who said he was unsure whether he would lead Wales again.\n\n\"Playing number seven for Wales and the Lions has always been the target.\n\n\"It's not something I've been bitterly disappointed about or something I've always desperately wanted to do. It's an honour.\n\n\"There also comes a time in your career you need to focus on yourself.\n\n\"That's why this is the best thing for me. It will probably make me more hungry not to have the captaincy.\n\n\"There are so many good sixes and sevens in the squad, that you have got to bring your A-game just to get in the 23.\"\n\nWhat are his captaincy highlights?\n\nSince 2011, when he took the job aged 22, Warburton has led Wales more times than anybody else and captained his country at two World Cups and to a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2012.\n\n\"People expect the Grand Slam to be my highlight, but I only played three games,\" he said.\n\n\"My highlight might be the win against South Africa in 2014 because that was a big moment.\n\n\"Players are always getting the question about [beating] southern hemisphere sides. To finally get that win was satisfying.\n\n\"When I look back to 2011 when I nearly didn't take it, that would have been the biggest mistake of my rugby career.\n\n\"Back then I was completely out of my comfort zone and didn't want to do it.\n\n\"But it has helped me develop as a person and a player.\"\n\nWarburton is replaced by Ospreys skipper Jones who has captained Wales five times and led the Lions to match and series victory in the final Test against Australia in 2013.\n\n\"Alun Wyn is a vastly experienced player and has more experience than me at international level,\" said Warburton.\n\n\"He's seen pretty much everything in this game. That's what makes him such a great candidate to be captain.\n\n\"Alun Wyn is the stand-out candidate. It will be a nice smooth transition and he will be able to cope fine with things.\"\n\nWhat about the Lions?\n\nWarburton said he was unsure whether his chances of leading the Lions again in New Zealand this summer after captaining the tourists in Australia in 2013 would be affected.\n\n\"I haven't spoken to Warren [Gatland] since he was announced as Lions coach,\" said Warburton.\n\n\"He popped in and observed some training sessions, which I imagine he did across the home nations.\n\n\"He was informed about the decision by the WRU and Rob spoke to him.\n\n\"One of my concerns was Warren, because he has invested a lot of time in me, especially when I was so young.\n\n\"But he knew exactly what was going on which was great.\"", "Doctors in Sheffield are pioneering the use of a compact neonatal MRI scanner to scan the brains of premature babies.\n\nThe machine at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, one of only two in the world, is being used instead of ultrasound.", "Leicester's defeat at Southampton was a great example of how tactics, rather than players, are hugely important in deciding football matches.\n\nYou still need a talented, intelligent team with the ability to carry those tactics out for you, of course, but your system can win or lose a game for you - just the same as an amazing bit of skill will.\n\nThat is what happened as St Mary's when Leicester lined up in a diamond shape in midfield. They played it really poorly, because it looked to me as if they had not worked on it very much.\n\nSouthampton quickly worked out how to capitalise on their weaknesses and, by the time Leicester changed their shape at half-time, they were 2-0 down and as good as out of the game.\n\nThat tactical effect is not always so obvious when I watch Premier League matches.\n\nA lot of the time both teams are playing a similar way, or both are well organised and working hard - and it is a moment of quality that wins the game.\n\nOn Sunday, Saints were much better tactically and they won the match because of it.\n\n'A difficult system to master, without the ball'\n\nI never played regularly in a diamond at any of my clubs, but we used it at certain times when I was at Liverpool and it worked quite nicely for us.\n\nIn particular, we did it a few times when we played Manchester United at home because we felt their strength was in central areas, trying to play through us.\n\nUsing the diamond forced them wide and they put crosses in, which was what we wanted them to do.\n\nIt also meant we could press them higher up the pitch because the two strikers would be backed up by the man at the point of the diamond.\n\nIt tends to suit teams who have the majority of possession and play a lot of football because you have got four men in the centre of midfield and, although you are lacking in the wide areas, you should have at least one extra man in the middle. That is the theory anyway.\n\nWhat actually happened with Leicester was they did not try to play out from the back and keep hold of the ball to use that extra man.\n\nAnd, when they lost the ball, the guys who were in the diamond were crossing positions too much because they were not sure when to look for the ball in middle or when to go and try to win it out wide.\n\n'One of the hardest jobs a player can be asked to do'\n\nIt is a difficult system to master, especially when you have not got possession.\n\nI am not against it, because I have played in it when it has worked, but it does not stretch the pitch as much as other formations and you do feel like you are doing extra work.\n\nI played as the wide man in a diamond a few times in my career and it is one of the hardest jobs a player can be asked to do.\n\nIt involves a heck of a lot of running, because you are kind of playing in centre midfield, then you are playing right midfield - then right-back and on the right wing.\n\nYou have to know when to go and chase the ball and when to sit and, on Sunday, Leicester's Danny Drinkwater, for example, struggled to get that right.\n\nWe know Danny is a very good central midfielder - he was one of the best in the Premier League last season.\n\nHowever, he was on the right of the diamond against Saints and was not used to that position, which let Saints left-back Ryan Bertrand really enjoy himself in the first half.\n\nSometimes Drinkwater was reacting to Saints attacks down his wing too late because he was too narrow and he could not get out to Bertrand in time, or he went out wide too early and left a gap inside.\n\nHe was not the only Leicester player to be caught between two places where they were meant to be and Saints utilised all this space really well because they kept switching play.\n\nThat left the two Leicester full-backs isolated a lot of the time and Southampton were getting a lot of crosses into their box - they scored their first goal from one of them.\n\nLeicester need to find a settled formation again\n\nI saw a lot of the Leicester players question each other during that first half and get angry about who was marking who and where they were supposed to be.\n\nSo Ranieri was right to come out afterwards and acknowledge the way they started the game was his fault because he had tried something new.\n\nThe players will always take some of the responsibility because they are out on the pitch, but asking them to work on a system for a few days then go away to a good side like Southampton is a bit too much to ask.\n\nCompare that performance to the way Leicester were playing last season when all their players looked so comfortable playing 4-4-1-1 because they all knew their jobs. They had little partnerships all over the pitch, and it was perfect in so many ways.\n\nThings are different now. They have brought in some new players and are trying to adapt a little bit and they also have to deal with teams raising their game against them because they are the champions.\n\nThe expectancy level has gone up and, maybe because they have had a bad run, they have changed things too much instead of sticking to what they know.\n\nThat is not a criticism of Leicester, because every club wants to evolve and improve their squad with better players . When you do that, you want to keep the ball a bit more and play in different ways.\n\nBut it did not work out for them last week when they switched to play with three at the back in their defeat by Chelsea either.\n\nThe sooner they get back to a settled formation, the sooner their results will pick up. I don't think we will see that diamond again any time soon, though.\n\nWhat next for the Foxes?\n\nSometimes it is not the fact you lose a game that hurts you, it is the way you lose it.\n\nLeicester's players will watch a recording of that Southampton game at some point this week and there are not many positives for them to take from it, even in the second half.\n\nThe league table does not look too good for the Foxes either - and their away form has been terrible all season.\n\nThey need to pick themselves up quickly, but I still look at the attacking quality they have in their squad compared to the other teams down at the bottom and think they can go on a run and climb the table.\n\nWill they go down? You can never say never, but I would be shocked if they got sucked into the bottom three.", "The iconic sign was changed overnight on New Year's Eve\n\nResidents of Los Angeles' most famous neighbourhood woke up on New Year's Day to find the world-famous Hollywood sign had been changed to read \"Hollyweed\".\n\nLocal media reported that police were treating the incident as minor trespass and were investigating.\n\nThe sign on Mount Lee is made of 45-foot (13.7m) tall letters.\n\nVoters in California approved the legalisation of marijuana in a ballot held at the same time as the presidential election - on 8 November.\n\nThe prank has not caused lasting damage to the sign, however, as parts of both \"O\" letters were covered by tarpaulins to make them look like a lower-case letter \"E\".\n\nThe Los Angeles Times reports that a single person was recorded on security cameras climbing the sign to hang the materials.\n\nA similar prank took place in 1976, to mark a relaxation in the state's marijuana laws.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nWhat if the Premier League was played over a calendar year?\n\nWho would be champions of 2016, which uncapped Englishman would finish above Jamie Vardy in the scoring charts, and which players would be in the running for individual awards?\n\nWe take a look at who performed best - and worst - in 2016.\n\nIt would have been almost impossible to believe 12 months ago when Jose Mourinho had been sacked after the then champions lost nine times in their opening 16 Premier League games - but the Stamford Bridge club's transformation in 2016 has been dramatic.\n\nStabilised by Guus Hiddink and streaking clear at the top of the 2016-17 table under Antonio Conte, Chelsea edge out Liverpool and Manchester United to top spot in 2016. Tottenham may feel aggrieved their New Year fixture falls on New Year's Day, as had it been 24 hours earlier and they won, they would be second.\n\nManchester City miss out on the top four, while 2015-16 title winners Leicester are eighth after a difficult run between August and December.\n\nAt the other end - excluding the promoted and relegated teams - Crystal Palace, Watford and Swansea make up the bottom three, with Palace 11 points behind their closest rivals.\n\nJurgen Klopp has made a big impact since arriving at Liverpool in October 2015 - and that impact is becoming clearer with every passing month.\n\nIn 2016, his team have scored the most goals...\n\n...had the second-highest number of shots (659), more than 60 ahead of Man City (596), West Ham (574) and well clear of Chelsea (552).\n\n...and they are up there in terms of highest average possession...\n\nSo what more do Liverpool have to do to end what may soon be a 27-year wait for a title?\n\nWhich players topped the stats for 2016?\n\nQuiz question for you: which three English players outscored Leicester striker Jamie Vardy in the Premier League in 2016?\n\nThe other one? West Ham's Michail Antonio! Top marks if you got that one.\n\nAnd here's a tip for Fantasy Football players. Get Cesar Azpilicueta in your team.\n\nFor starters, the Chelsea defender has played the most minutes in the Premier League in 2016 (tied with Leicester's Wes Morgan, Bournemouth's Steve Cook and Manchester United's David de Gea). Southampton's Virgil van Dijk was also level with that bunch until he was sent off late in their final fixture of the year on Saturday.\n\nSpaniard Azpilicueta has also had more touches than any other player...\n\n...and is second on the list for completed passes, behind only Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. He also features in the top 10 for tackles made and successful passes in the opposition half.\n\nAway from the teams occupying the top six in the Premier League, there have also been plenty of stellar performances. West Ham's Dimitri Payet - one of the stars of 2015-16 - created the most scoring opportunities, 28 more than his closest rival - Tottenham's Christian Eriksen.\n\nAlong with Arsenal's Mesut Ozil (111), they were the only three players to create more than 100 chances in 2016.\n\nAt the other end, the two keepers with the best shots-to-saves record do not belong to top-six clubs.\n\nAnd finally, a few names for Fantasy Football devotees to avoid. These players repeatedly found themselves in trouble with referees in 2016, with Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye the most-booked Premier League player of 2016.\n\nDespite that poor disciplinary record, he was not one of the 47 players sent off during the calendar year. Forty-six of those were dismissed once, while Vardy and Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama hold the dubious honour of being the most-dismissed players of the year - both were sent off twice.", "Interesting and unexpected facts from daily news stories are collected in the BBC's regular feature, 10 things we didn't know last week.

There were 67 extra winners in addition to the normal 21 prizes owing to a raffle draw celebrating Team GB's success at the Rio Olympics.\n\nIt may have been that players failed to check those extra draw details. It may have been that they were away from home as it was a Bank Holiday weekend in much of the UK. Either way £5.6m is going to lottery good causes if those winners do not make a claim in the next couple of months.\n\nOverall, only 3% of National Lottery prizes go unclaimed. That is a fraction of the sum that people miss out on through unclaimed benefits or compensation.\n\nIn today's automated world, why do many of these payouts still require people to make a complaint and a claim?\n\nNearly £2bn in redress was paid to consumers of financial services in the first half of the year.\n\nWhile the industry watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority, holds data on the success of compensation schemes in reaching those entitled to payouts, it does not publish all of it.\n\nOne of the biggest unknowns is the number of people affected by mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), and the amount they should receive. This loan insurance was sold on an industrial scale to people who did not want or need it, or who could not claim.\n\nAs a result banks have paid out £25bn in compensation in the past few years. Estimates suggest the total bill, were all sales paid back, could be £100bn. An estimated nine million people in the UK could still make a complaint.\n\nSo why not simply pay everyone back?\n\nThe reason is clear from consultation into a proposed deadline for PPI compensation claims.\n\n\"We remain of the view that not all PPI was mis-sold and that, properly sold, PPI could meet some consumers' genuine credit protection needs,\" the FCA says during the consultation.\n\nSo, the FCA says that, in effect, every case must be taken on its merits, and that requires people to make a complaint, despite consumer groups claiming that a huge number of mis-selling victims are missing out.\n\n\"We do not consider that there are strong grounds to significantly depart from this complaints-led approach now,\" the FCA adds.\n\nOne of the most controversial compensation cases was the payouts for those mis-sold credit card and identity theft protection by insurer CPP.\n\nSeven million people were eligible for compensation and received letters inviting them to make a claim for compensation. Some consumer groups argued that the letters looked like junk mail.\n\nBy the time the claims window expired, more than four million people had missed out. Only a third of those eligible received compensation, averaging £190 each. Just one submitted claim was rejected.\n\nAny kind of dispute that puts the onus on individuals making an initial complaint can be \"incredibly stressful\" says James Walker, founder of consumer website Resolver.\n\n\"Lots of the people I speak to tell me they have simply given up. What is frustrating is people don't realise that the rights they have when it comes to taking things further are actually quite strong,\" he says.\n\n\"You don't have to suffer in silence for long periods of time if you want to escalate your complaint and there are lots of free ombudsman schemes that can help you.\"\n\nHe points to cases such as a pensioner who parked his car to go to the doctors, oblivious of a parking restriction notice that was obscured by a fence. He received a ticket, followed by debt collection notices, but after more than a year in dispute received £350 in refunds and compensation.\n\nDespite these cases, there is a move in some industries for compensation to be paid automatically more often.\n\nIn October last year, Virgin became the first train company to automatically compensate some passengers if they are delayed. Travellers using its services on the West Coast mainline - and who book their tickets via the company app or website - receive automatic repayments.\n\nResearch has shown that most rail passengers do not bother to claim compensation, even when it is due - a situation that led to a so-called super-complaint by consumers' association Which?.\n\nIn the airline industry, where passengers must make a claim for compensation following delays, an estimated 70% of those who have a right to a payout do not claim, according to a comparison website.\n\nCommunications regulator Ofcom is also investigating the use of automatic compensation when phone or internet services fail. At present, customers tend to go through one of two ombudsman services.\n\nProposals to be published by the regulator in the new year are aimed at providing \"easier redress\" when something goes wrong.\n\nArguably, the most significant change in redress for consumers may result from the 2015 Consumer Rights Act.\n\nUK consumers may be included automatically in a legal claim for damages in a US-style class action and so receive automatic compensation if the case succeeds. A £14bn legal claim filed against Mastercard seeking damages for anti-competitive card fees is the first significant test of these new rules.\n\nUnclaimed payments are not always in the form of compensation.\n\nBillions of pounds in benefits is unclaimed every year by those entitled to the money.\n\nUp to £4.6bn of Housing Benefit went unclaimed in 2014-15, according to the latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Families entitled to the benefit but not claiming it missed out on an average of £3,000 per year.\n\nSome 1.4 million households failing to receive Pension Credit are missing out on £2,000 a year, the figures show. Entitlements worth thousands of pounds a year were also going unclaimed for employment and support allowance (available to those who are unable to work owing to illness) and jobseekers' allowance.\n\nThe DWP says that a lack of awareness of these entitlements and the \"perceived stigma\" of claiming benefits were thought to be among the reasons that people failed to make a claim.\n\nSome of these payouts will become automatic under the new Universal Credit benefit, which is being gradually introduced across the UK.\n\nLater in life, many people could miss out on retirement income, with millions of pension savings pots lying dormant. These are often small pots of savings from workplace pensions when employees spent a short period of time in jobs and have moved home since.\n\nAll this amounts to billions of pounds available to claim - and claim legitimately - without the need for a lucky lottery win.", "Magician Paul Daniels died in March aged 77, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

At this moment he even plays left-back when the team is winning and we need to defend and need more balance.\n\n\"Martial has to listen to me and not his agent. He has to listen to me in training every day and in every feedback I give to try and improve him.\n\n\"The Mkhitaryan process I was having almost every day.

But has the grim reaper really claimed the souls of more notable people than usual in 2016?\n\nFor their admirers, 2016 has been a sad year.\n\nBack in April, the BBC's Obituaries Editor Nick Serpell was tasked with checking if there was anything unusual about the number of well-known people dying, as many on social media had been claiming.\n\nHe counted the number of pre-prepared BBC obituaries that ran across radio, TV and online from January until the end of March for the years 2012-16.\n\nAnd at that point he found that, yes, just looking at the first three months of the year, there had been a huge increase.\n\nTwice as many notable people had died in this period of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, and five times as many as in 2012.\n\nIt's worth bearing in mind that this is quite a crude way of measuring celebrity deaths.\n\nThe BBC doesn't do an obituary for every celebrity that dies and, as already noted, Serpell only counted pre-prepared obituaries, rather than obituaries written after the event, or news reports that mention someone has died.\n\nThen there's also the question of who even counts as a celebrity in the first place. US television personality David Gest, for example, did not get a BBC obituary.\n\nNonetheless, as the year draws to a close, it seems an appropriate time to ask - has 2016 continued to be so dangerous and fateful for famous people?\n\nAcross the whole year, there was just over a 50% increase in BBC pre-prepared obituaries used in 2016 compared with 2015.\n\n\"In 2012, we had a total of 16,\" says Serpell. \"In 2013, it went to 24. In 2014, it rose again to 29. In 2015, it rose slightly again to 32.\" For 2016, as of 30 December, it stands at 49.\n\n\"Just under half those deaths occurred in the first three months of the year,\" says Serpell.\n\nThe rest of the year looked like it was settling back down to be on a par with 2015. However, there was yet another spike of notable deaths over the Christmas period when seven more people died within a two-week period.\n\nSo 2016 has seen the largest number of famous people die, but it was those bumps at the beginning and the end of the year that made it so unusual.\n\nAlthough there does seem to have been an inexorable rise, Serpell says there hasn't been any change in the BBC's policy on what sort of person qualifies for an obituary.\n\nHe thinks that the increase isn't particularly surprising, because we're now half a century on from the flourishing of both TV and pop culture in the 1960s, which massively expanded the overall pool of public figures.\n\nYou're going to have to get used to hearing the celebrity obituary.\n\nPre-prepared BBC obituaries that ran on television, radio and online\n\nThis article was initially published on 16 December and had been updated to reflect subsequent deaths.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "His was the face which launched a thousand memes - so why did Harambe the gorilla capture 2016's collective online psyche?\n\nIt was a sad story that could have been even sadder. In May, a three-year-old child fell into an enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo. One of the Western lowland gorillas inside started dragging the boy around.\n\n\"Mommy's right here! Mommy loves you!\" the boy's mother shouted, as bystanders became increasingly panicked.\n\nFinally, fearing that the boy's life was in danger, a zoo worker killed Harambe with a single shot. The boy escaped without serious injury.\n\nThe events were captured on a YouTube video which has been watched millions of times.\n\nHarambe's death touched off a heated - if predictable - debate about zoo welfare standards and whether lethal force was necessary.\n\nBut what wasn't expected was what came next. Harambe became memeified. His image was spread far and wide throughout the internet. He became the subject of serious and unserious campaigns. And he was even memorialised in song.\n\nJoin the conversation on this and other stories here.\n\nIt started as a spontaneous and very real outpouring of shock and grief over the killing.\n\n\"Had I been there, I would have gone into the enclosure myself,\" says Frank Paris, one of the people who used the hashtag #RIPHarambe to express his sadness. It quickly began to spread hours after the gorilla's death.\n\nAlthough he lived a few states away in Los Angeles, Paris, along with many others, was upset at Cincinnati Zoo's decision to kill the animal.\n\n\"That day was a very sad day for me,\" he tells BBC Trending. \"I absolutely would have risked my own life to save the boy. That's how sure I am that the boy was fine and that Harambe had no intention of hurting anybody.\"\n\nOf course, that's just one reaction from someone thousands of miles away, whereas zoo officials say they were right to take action to stop any potential serious injury to the boy.\n\nBut Paris was not alone in his grief and anger.\n\nAside from his canonisation on social media, there were candlelit vigils for Harambe. There were also campaigns targeted the boy's parents. Some online called for them to be prosecuted for negligence. The boy's mother was cleared of any wrongdoing.\n\n\"There was definitely a sincere element of outrage over this,\" says Aja Romano, who writes about web culture for news site Vox.\n\n\"It just spiralled out of control and was immediately a giant social trend, because it involved an element of supposed animal cruelty. You could argue that by keeping Harambe in the zoo to begin with, the zoo was fostering this unfair environment where the gorilla didn't really have a chance.\"\n\nThat wave of emotion was in turn hijacked by comedians, pranksters and trolls who mocked those who were making so much of the story.\n\n\"People online kind of get off on being mad about things that they don't actually care about,\" says Brandon Wardell, a stand-up comedian and one of those who poked fun at the Harambe mourners. \"You didn't know Harambe, your life wasn't really affected by this.\"\n\nWardell coined a jokey phrase that - to put it one way - sarcastically encouraged people to expose themselves in tribute to the dead gorilla.\n\n\"I think I was probably drunk when I tweeted it and then it just got out of control,\" he tells Trending.\n\nIt got him branded the \"voice of a generation\" by Rolling Stone magazine.\n\nThen things took a dark turn when the memes were picked up by the alt-right, an amorphous but internet savvy white nationalist movement.\n\nThe gorilla's image was used in racist messages.\n\n\"I feel like it was driven to the ground so quickly,\" Wardell recalls. \"It stopped being funny to me two days after.\n\n\"I didn't love that there were Nazis that were all of a sudden into a meme that I created.\"\n\nBut the Harambe phenomenon was also too large to be totally owned by one fringe group. The Cincinnati zoo declared itself unimpressed with all the riffs on its dead animal - but that certainly didn't put an end to the jokes. Memes comparing Harambe to David Bowie, Prince and Muhammad Ali have since gone viral. He's been the subject of fake news stories, books, comics - and a parody of the Book of Genesis.\n\nHear more on this story and others on the BBC World Service.\n\n\"If you were really tired of seeing media hysteria dominate news cycles and dominate conversations, the sheer absurdity of Harambe as a social issue was a really easy thing to mock,\" says Romano, the Vox writer.\n\n\"I think it spoke to a level of outrage fatigue. If you're seeing people freaking out about a dead gorilla, over say thousands of people dying in the Syrian refugee crisis, then what do you do with that anger?\n\n\"The only way to sort of express your anger was to just turn this sort of worship of Harambe and turn this deep cultural grief over Harambe's death into a meme.\"\n\nIndeed, not just any meme, but the meme of 2016.\n\nYou can follow BBC Trending on Twitter @BBCtrending, and find us on Facebook.

It is a continent that feels like it has come of age. Despite the very real problems of poverty, corruption and the sense you sometimes get in some quarters, that no-one is held to account, business types hail Africa as the \"final frontier\". After nearly 12 years reporting this region, for me it feels like a place where one grows up.\n\nI have met priests and politicians, warlords and entrepreneurs, gangsters and teachers. Ordinary mums and dads. Each of them has helped to shape my impressions and many have become firm friends.\n\nOne of the first lessons I learnt in Kenya was survival. There is no safety net here when times get tough.\n\nIn the early days on a visit to the slum known as Kibera, an elderly lady called me over as she stirred her supper in a thick, black, cast-iron pot. \"Hey sister, where are you from?\" she asked. \"London,\" I replied. \"Yes, but where in London?\" I was rather puzzled as she pressed me further. \"I know London,\" she nodded, sagely. \"In fact, I know Paris and Berlin, too.\"\n\nIt emerged that this friendly stranger had once been a glamorous stewardess for an international airline. She had drunk the best champagne and visited the fanciest European hotels but when times got hard in the 1980s and the airline folded, she lost her job.\n\nShe was now selling samosas in the slum to survive. From that day onwards I learnt never to make any assumptions about Africa: a jet-setter one day, a slum dweller the next. It is the drumbeat of so many who take the knocks, but reclaim their dignity and survive.\n\nYet, in absolute terms, people are getting poorer in Africa because the population continues to grow. During my time on this continent I witnessed a colleague of mine - away from the BBC - lose two of his three young children. That is never OK.\n\nWhen I arrived in Africa more than a decade ago, Boko Haram in Nigeria did not exist, Somalia's al-Shabab insurgency group had yet to be formed - not to mention so-called Islamic State - and Sudan was one vast, sprawling country emerging from more than two decades of civil war.\n\nI arrived to a continent of 53 states. I now leave behind 54. South Sudan's independence in 2011 marked the newest addition to the globe. The birth pains are still being felt.\n\nWhen I arrived, George W Bush was beginning his second term as US president, oil and gas had yet to be discovered in many parts of Africa and mobile phones were just beginning to open up a world of possibilities from e-commerce to telemedicine.\n\nMobile phones have transformed the lives of millions of Africans\n\nNow, two US presidents later (give or take a week or two), China has become the second-biggest investor in Africa, with India hard on its heels. The brain-drain is beginning to slow down as African talent is being retained, especially in the technology sector.\n\nAnd there is more money flowing back into Africa from remittances, than the entire aid budget for the continent.\n\nWith this growing economic confidence, powered by a rising middle class, has come a new political assertiveness. And, with growing insecurity, the West knows it needs Africa more than ever before.\n\nYou see it in the UN Security Council. South Africa has held its ground on issues such as Libya during the fall of Gaddafi. The African Union is pushing for permanent seats and a greater say in world affairs as the continent now contributes more troops to peacekeeping operations than anywhere else on earth.\n\nYou see this assertiveness in matters of international justice. Countries like South Africa and Burundi have turned their backs on the International Criminal Court.\n\nAnd you see this push back on matters of wider society and the tussle between the old way of doing things and what some see as imported Western ideas.\n\nGay rights remain a controversial subject in many parts of the continent\n\nA rapidly growing young urban class, more connected with the world through mobile phones, is making new demands, touching on everything from gender equality to gay rights.\n\nA young female couple I met in Kenya back in 2006 had been forced out of their business as florists because word had got out that they happened to be gay.\n\nIn Uganda, activists like David Kato would be murdered a few years later, for the simple fact that he was gay. Yet slowly, very slowly, there has been a perceptible shift. Constitutions are being shaken up.\n\nBut there is still a tangible sense of mistrust between many African nations. Principles of sovereignty and non-interference, just like in many other parts of the world, are jealously guarded.\n\nAnd the settling of old scores between neighbouring continues to be played out in places such as Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and its newer neighbour South Sudan.\n\nIn many places, the slow roll-out of infrastructure is blamed for underscoring this continued sense of separation and investors say corruption continues to frighten off potential investors.\n\nKaren Allen reporting from an internally displaced persons' camp in Chad\n\nYet 2016 saw the creation of the first continent-wide trading bloc. At the moment only 10% of the continent's trade is conducted between African nations. But the potential is huge - 620 million consumers.\n\nThe political landscape is also being redrawn. Regrettably, I have been banned from working inside Zimbabwe, where Robert Mugabe's leadership persists. And, as I write, the presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo and The Gambia are resisting pressure to stand down.\n\nBut transfers of power are happening more peacefully. We have seen it, for instance, in Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal, and maybe also in Angola, where President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos has ruled supreme for the past 37 years but has indicated that he will not stand again for re-election.\n\nI never really understood that institutions mattered until I moved to South Africa but, oh, how they do. The country's history may set it apart from other African states but South Africa's constitutional court, its free press and parliament have all challenged the legitimacy of President Jacob Zuma.\n\nAnd no-one has been killed for speaking out. It is a template other nations are keen to follow and I predict that, for many, it will soon come.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nHarry Kane and Dele Alli scored two goals apiece as Tottenham thrashed lacklustre Watford to move into the Premier League's top four for the first time since October.\n\nSpurs dominated from the off at Vicarage Road - having 13 shots in the first half alone - and seconds after Alli struck the bar, Kane coolly finished a well-weighted Kieran Trippier pass.\n\nThe same duo combined for the second, Kane stealing between two static defenders to prod home Trippier's fine cross from six yards.\n\nIt was the England striker's 59th goal in his first 100 Premier League appearances, matching Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.\n\nAlli made it 3-0 by passing low into the net after Younes Kaboul skewed the ball into his path, then arrived unmarked to finish Kane's cross for his fifth goal in three matches.\n\nWatford, who did not have a shot on target until Kaboul bundled home a late consolation, drop to 13th having won just once in seven matches.\n\nSpurs' fourth successive win briefly took them third, before Arsenal moved back ahead of them with victory over Crystal Palace.\n\nHaving won at Southampton by the same scoreline on Wednesday, Tottenham have scored four goals in consecutive away games for the first time since October 1960 - the season they did the Double.\n\nTheir 10-point deficit on leaders Chelsea, whom they host on Wednesday, will temper any title talk, but there can be no doubt Spurs are in menacing mood.\n\nTrippier, in for the suspended Kyle Walker, impressed on just his third league appearance of the season and underlined the strength in depth at White Hart Lane.\n\nThe former Burnley player was a constant outlet - having more than 100 touches - and his early assists allowed Kane to show the ruthlessness of his finishing.\n\nHad Son Heung-Min been more clinical with any of his five shots, the damage could have been worse.\n\nBut boss Mauricio Pochettino will be thrilled with a 100% record over a busy festive period in which his side secured their first league away wins since September.\n\nIt is easy to praise Tottenham, but Watford's early defensive offering was non-existent.\n\nManager Walter Mazzarri has stressed he will use the transfer window to find cover for as many as eight first-teamers out injured.\n\nBut his side can have no excuse for their dire defensive work against Spurs - the third time this season they have been three goals down at half-time.\n\nWith 34 goals conceded, 14 more than at this stage last season, holes at the back need plugging urgently, but there are also problems at the other end of the pitch.\n\nOdion Ighalo, drafted in after Camilo Zuniga limped out of the warm-up, was peripheral, with just 23 touches, only two more than 68th-minute Spurs substitute Ben Davies.

I know how hard Roger's worked and how professional and meticulous he is about his preparations.\n\n\"It is a challenge, but great players love challenges. I expect great things because he's a great player.\"\n\nFederer, who has spent 302 weeks as world number one, has fallen to 16th in the rankings, his lowest position since May 2001.\n\nThat means he could face Britain's world number one Sir Andy Murray or defending champion Novak Djokovic as early as the fourth round of the Australian Open, which starts on 16 January.\n\nHaving reached the semi-finals in Melbourne last year, an early exit would further impact on his ranking.\n\nAnnacone feels that will not matter to Federer at this stage of his career, citing the example of Sampras, who won the US Open in 2002 as the 17th seed.\n\n\"It's not ideal but I'm a glass half-full guy,\" said the 53-year-old. \"I would imagine if you talked to Andy or Novak they're not going to want to be playing Roger in the round of 16 or third round either.\n\n\"I was with Pete Sampras when he won his 2002 US Open. He hadn't won an event for 26 months. With these great players, you just don't know what they're capable of. The rules don't apply - they're merely suggestions.\n\n\"I remember it with Pete. He said: 'I really don't care what my ranking is, it doesn't matter any more. It's about can I put myself in position to win tournaments, and in particular major tournaments.' I'm sure Roger's approaching it the same way.\"\n\nAs if to underline that, Federer said on Friday: \"Winning titles is a beautiful feeling; rankings at the moment... completely secondary. As long as I'm healthy, I think I can really do some damage.\"\n\nCan he make more history?\n\nFederer, who has won more Grand Slams than any other male player, will be 36 in August, and Annacone says he does not need to chase history for motivation.\n\n\"I just think the sheer joy of competing and the challenge of testing himself against the others will be enough for Roger,\" he said. \"He's so at peace with what he's done and where he is that he'll do it organically by himself.\n\n\"If he stays healthy and is able to train and compete as often as he's planning to then I would consider that a success.\n\n\"If he does that, his average level, for how talented he is, is going to be somewhere in the top 10 anyway. If that's the case, that average level will create opportunities where he is playing at the end of events.\"\n\nAnnacone, who keeps in touch with Federer \"via texts and instant messaging\", says the Swiss has been \"in good spirits\".\n\n\"A couple of weeks ago he was doing great, he was really happy in his training in Dubai,\" he said. \"His body felt good and he was really excited about 2017.\"\n\nBut Annacone, who will be commentating on the Australian Open for Tennis Channel, says Federer must \"stay patient\" in the early stages of his comeback.\n\n\"He is so meticulous in his preparation that I expect him to play pretty terrific tennis pretty quickly,\" he added.\n\n\"Now can he do it second event in, the Australian Open, for seven matches?

Then a Facebook message changed everything.\n\nIt was on the second day of our five-day trek that I realised it was missing.\n\nWe had packed up the tents and loaded the horses. I reached up to the horse's mane to pull myself up and saw that my wrist was bare.\n\n\"My mum's bracelet! It's gone,\" I thought, and immediately burst into tears.\n\nMade from melted-down rings she inherited from her own mother, the bracelet had always been worn by my mum for almost as long as I could remember.\n\nEloise Dicker's wrist with and without the bracelet\n\nHer wrist was very slender even towards the end of her life, with steroids puffing her up like a blowfish. There came a point, however, when she couldn't wear it any more.\n\nShe had taken it off and placed it on her bedside table. While clearing up the cups and tissues, tablets and tinctures, I had picked the bracelet up and put it on.\n\nShe'd smiled, put her hand on my wrist and said how lovely it was to see me wearing it and that one day I would pass it on to my children.\n\nShe died a couple of months later, and I had never taken the bracelet off.\n\nRosemary Dicker, wearing the bracelet six months before her death on Mother's Day 2015\n\nNow I felt pain in my throat and a sinking feeling in my stomach. It could be anywhere in this vast landscape - the Tian Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia.\n\nThere was a silence as we all realised there was no point in even trying to find it. We were two days up into the mountains and surrounded by grass.\n\nI had one last look around our camp. It was no use. I couldn't re-trace my steps, we were in the middle of nowhere. I climbed back on the horse.\n\nI walked behind the others, crying and thinking. All the memories of her passing away came back to me, bit by bit.\n\nMy naked wrist still made me feel incomplete. I wanted to go back in time to the moment I decided to bring it with me. Why hadn't I left it at home?\n\nBut maybe it was meant to be here, I thought to myself. Mum was born in Hong Kong and grew up in the UK, and this was half way.\n\nAn endless lush landscape with wild horses, snowy peaks, birds of prey and the sound of the river. Maybe it should be lost here.\n\nThat night I looked in the tents with a bit of hope left that it might be in some corner. Nothing.\n\nI crawled into my sleeping bag feeling deeply sad, and accepted it was gone for good.\n\nLater, in the city of Karakol, recovering from our trek, I visited the Russian Orthodox church.\n\nI was just about to leave, having lit a candle in remembrance of my mother, when the Russian nun took my arm and walked me to a painting of the Virgin Mary.\n\nShe kissed the glass frame of the picture and gestured that I do the same. I'm not a believer, and was not brought up religious in any way, but I followed her invitation.\n\nWhen I kissed the glass I looked up at the picture. I started crying. The picture was adorned with gold necklaces and rings.\n\nIt was feeling just how jewellery was so significant to humans that made me cry. As a student of anthropology, I have always been interested in the meaning we humans ascribe to objects.\n\nJewellery by its very nature says: Look at me, see what I can afford, observe what I was given, admire how significant I am.\n\nWhen inherited from a beloved, it also brings people into relationship, solidifying a kinship or affection, creating a sense of connectedness and of presence.\n\nThat bracelet was a physical part of my mother who is no longer physically in the world. It became part of me, and now was gone.\n\nI had already made peace with the loss of the bracelet when, some weeks after I had returned to Europe, I received a Facebook message from Elaman Asanbaev, one of the guides from the Community-Based Tourism (CBT) office in Karakol.\n\nThere was a picture attached. \"This is it or not, I don't know,\" he asked.\n\nIt was it. It was the bracelet.\n\nIt was suddenly back in existence, but what should I do? Should I get Elaman to send it? Should I leave it there? Ask him to throw it in the river?\n\nWhen I looked into secure courier services, they advised against sending precious stones or metals. I was also reluctant to trust the postal system, it being so far away.\n\nIt did occur to me that I could find someone who would be travelling there, but when I saw that flights were cheap in November I decided I would go and get it myself.\n\nLondon-Moscow-Bishkek. Then a six-hour drive from the capital Bishkek to Karakol with Azamat Asanov, the CBT manager. It was 05:00 and -11C in the capital, the roads icy with thick snow.\n\nAs we drove, I watched the country waking up. Children in their winter clothes walking to school, horses with snow on their backs, men in the traditional pointed Kyrgyz hats known as kalpaks.\n\nThe next morning we picked up Elaman. \"This is for you,\" he said as he jumped in the car.\n\nThere it was. This slim piece of gold that I have known all my life.\n\nThis part of mum, here in this car 7,000km (4,350 miles) from home in the freezing mountains of Kyrgyzstan.\n\nElaman described to Azamat where he found it. I didn't understand anything except a word that sounded like \"toilet\".\n\nAzamat translated - it was in our first campsite, a yurt camp, lying on a path towards the toilets (or, more accurately, a shed with a hole in the ground).\n\nWe laughed. Not the most romantic of places.\n\nI felt its weight and its shape. Mum held this. Putting it back on I felt complete again, and I couldn't stop looking at it.\n\nI gave Elaman a designer flask and wrapped some money around it as a reward for handing in the bracelet.\n\nThere was another day in the snow on horseback before I turned round and made the long 21-hour journey back home.\n\nWe took the horses up the Bos Uchuk valley, which means \"colourful point\". This was where we had camped on our last day of the summer trek. I could recognise the shape of the mountains and the river.\n\nOn my way back to the town I sprinkled some of mum's ashes in the river - something to exchange for the bracelet in the ground, something to put her between home and where she was born, Hong Kong.\n\nAt this point I felt that these rituals were almost too much.\n\nYet back home, looking at photographs of mum, I notice the bracelet in every picture. I think how strange it is to know that it had a story waiting of being lost and found far away in a wonderful place.\n\nIs this still the most precious thing that I own? Yes. Would I take it again on an adventure? Probably.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nCeltic came from behind to beat Old Firm rivals Rangers and move 19 points clear at the top of the Premiership.\n\nKenny Miller slid in to convert James Tavernier's cross and put the home side ahead early on.\n\nMoussa Dembele's powerful shot from a Scott Sinclair corner flashed high into the net to bring Celtic level, and Dembele later fired against the bar.\n\nThe visitors dominated the second half, and Sinclair touched home Stuart Armstrong's low cross for the winner.\n\nMark Warburton's hosts showed from the outset their intention was to press their opponents in wide areas, and it paid dividends when Josh Windass released Tavernier to set up Miller's close-range finish.\n\nCeltic continued to concede too much space in the full-back areas, and further deliveries troubled goalkeeper Craig Gordon and his defence.\n\nHowever, Dembele's leveller put Celtic into the ascendancy and Rangers then struggled to get Barrie McKay and Tavernier on the ball, though McKay did draw a save from Gordon after the break.\n\nHaving struggled to get a telling delivery at set-pieces, Rangers may have gone ahead just before Celtic's second as Danny Wilson met Tavernier's corner, Gordon making the save.\n\nCeltic duo to the fore again\n\nSummer signings Dembele and Sinclair had run the Rangers defence ragged in September's 5-1 win at Celtic Park, and the duo's link-up play was again the catalyst as the visitors recovered from their early setback.\n\nSinclair's set-piece was controlled and rattled into the top-right corner by Celtic's top scorer Dembele - a fifth goal against Rangers for the Frenchman this season.\n\nAnd he should have taken that tally to six after Mikael Lustig squared the ball to the striker early in the second period, a miskick allowing Wes Foderingham to save.\n\nFoderingham came to Rangers' rescue when James Forrest was played in on goal by Stuart Armstrong but Sinclair would ensure a happy end to 2016 for his team, applying the finish to Armstrong's piercing ball across the face of goal.\n\nArmstrong, Sinclair and substitute Nir Bitton forced further saves from Foderingham as Rangers continued to struggle in defence.\n\nIn a match of so many chances, it was a surprise there were only three goals.\n\nSinclair fired against the right-hand post as Celtic trailed, and Dembele's downward volley bounced up on to the crossbar at 1-1, with Sinclair firing the rebound wide.\n\nAnd, after Sinclair had netted, Rangers were also left frustrated by the goal frame as Miller's shot came back off the same post Sinclair had hit in the opening half.\n\nThe Scottish Premiership enters its winter break for the early part of January and Celtic can extend their advantage at the top to 22 points if they win their game in hand against St Johnstone near the end of next month.\n\nThe league leaders, who have won 15 Premiership matches in a row and have only dropped two points all season, are targeting a sixth straight top-flight title win and a first under manager Brendan Rodgers.\n\nFor Rangers, they suffer their first competitive home defeat since September 2015 and face a battle to hold on to second place with Aberdeen, who have a game in hand, two points behind them.\n• None Attempt saved.

Jennifer, 19, waxes off all her pubic hair every month. \"The pain is the worst thing I've ever been through, but I'm kind of used to it now,\" she says.\n\n\"I prefer the underneath being gone,\" says Lisa, 27. \"Some people wax for the beach and other people wax for boys, and people who wax for boys wax the underneath.\"\n\nEver since Sex and the City tackled the subject, what women do with their pubic hair - trim, shave, pluck, wax or let it all hang out - has become a topic for discussion. And scientific research.\n\nStudies show that pubic hair grooming is becoming increasingly common. Earlier this year researchers reported in JAMA Dermatology that 84% of the American women who took part in their survey had done some grooming, with 62% removing all of their pubic hair. Younger women were much more likely to groom than the over-40s.\n\nAn earlier study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine linked the phenomenon to the availability of pornography. This same study suggested that the trend originated in South America - \"hence the term Brazilian as slang for complete pubic hair removal\".\n\nBut that is not the whole story.\n\n\"The Brazilian bikini wax was born here in New York, not Brazil,\" says Jonice Padilha, of the J Sisters salon in Manhattan, which pioneered the treatment in the early 1990s.\n\nA Brazilian wax involves removing all the pubic hair from underneath and leaving some hair at the front for decorative purposes - perhaps a triangle, a thin \"landing strip\" or a heart-shape, that's up to the customer. \"It's a freedom for you to have whatever you want,\" she says.\n\nJonice is the youngest of seven Brazilian sisters whose names all begin with J - the others are Jocely, Janea, Joyce, Juracy, Jussara and Judseia. They became known collectively as the J Sisters because nobody could get all the names right. Today the salon is popular with the rich and famous, and they make up to $6m a year on waxing, hair and nail treatments. But it had humble beginnings.\n\n\"It's an inspirational story of self-made women who came from nothing, illegal immigrants who made it in America,\" says Laura Malin, author of Wax and the City, a forthcoming book about the J Sisters. \"It's the American dream.\"\n\nThe sisters come from the small coastal town of Vitoria, which lies between Rio and Bahia. They grew up in a large family - seven sisters and seven brothers - and in a traditional, macho culture. Their father forbade them from going out unchaperoned, and was afraid it wasn't safe for them to work for other people, Jocely says.\n\nBut when he went bankrupt, his daughters began to bring in money by offering beauty treatments in their back yard. Eventually they became the main breadwinners, and ran three salons in the town. \"After school I used to hang out in the salon, instead of going to friends' houses,\" says Jonice.\n\nIn such a traditional household, it seemed that the only way to leave home was to get married, but Jocely, the fourth sister, dreamed of seeing the world. She saved up and in 1982 went to New York to visit an old neighbour from Vitoria. She planned to stay for a month, but the few hundred dollars she had brought ran out in a matter of days. She faced a choice: fly home or start earning.\n\nShe could have been in trouble. \"New York was a lot more violent then and many Brazilian women were prostitutes, so there was this prejudice,\" says Malin. Luckily, Jocely had skills.\n\nStreet art by Sandrine Boulet shows a female contour drawn around grass on a pavement\n\nShe spoke no English, but found a job at a nail salon run by a Portuguese woman. At the time the fashion was for stick-on acrylic nails which would be removed weeks later, leaving quite a bit of damage. Jocely's focus was on restoring the nail's natural health and lustre. Her reputation for manicures spread and she attracted a powerful customer - Adnan Khashoggi. The arms-trade magnate would book her for the entire day, at a rate of $100 an hour, so he could have manicures between meetings. Through him she met many influential people, from stars such as Brooke Shields and Rod Stewart to the editors of fashion magazines like Elle and Marie Claire.\n\nSoon she was earning well and, one by one, her sisters came over to join her. Jonice was the second to come to New York. She was dazzled. \"It was when I arrived here that I realised Brazil was Third World,\" she says. \"We knew nothing.\"\n\nIn 1987 the sisters opened their first nail salon on 57th St between 5th and 6th Avenue, then considered a fairly undesirable location. People thought they were crazy, says Jonice. At the time you didn't need a licence to run a nail salon so it was the obvious place to start, but they had other beauty secrets to impart. A few years later, at the start of the '90s, they began offering their - as yet unnamed - extreme bikini wax. It removed all pubic hair from below, not just at the sides.\n\nTheir signature wax had been invented by their sister Janea. \"It's a funny story actually,\" says Malin. Back in the late '70s Janea was in Bahia with her husband, having a beer and some fried fish on the beach. She was admiring a beautiful girl, but as she walked past Janea was horrified by the pubic hair protruding from the back of her tiny bikini. \"The image - it was like a mirror that shattered,\" says Malin.\n\nJanea's next thought was: \"Wow, do we have hair there?\"\n\nAt home her suspicion was confirmed. But when she went to a salon to have it removed, she met with resistance: \"Are you crazy? I'm not touching you there,\" was the response.\n\nSo Janea decided to do it herself. She locked herself in the waxing booth with a mirror and after about three hours of painful experimentation came out feeling fabulous. Then she convinced her co-workers to do the same. \"They were like: 'Oh my god I don't feel ashamed when I'm in bed with men, I don't feel shame when I go to the doctor, I feel cleaner,'\" explains Malin.\n\nWhen they introduced it in New York, their bikini wax became wildly popular. It helped that they still counted the editors of fashion magazines among their customers. \"Our only error was not to call it the J Sisters wax,\" says Jonice.\n\nBut there was a problem - they were coming under pressure from rivals. The early '90s had seen a boom in online porn, which increasingly featured hairless actors and models. \"It's very practical for pornography but it's just very practical for sex,\" adult film-maker Anna Span told the BBC. Adult magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse also showed little or no pubic hair.\n\nJonice says Playboy called the salon, claiming they had come up with the idea first. \"They said: 'This is ours, we do this for the porno site,'\" she says. Jonice's defence was to say that it was just what everyone in Brazil did. \"I said we were introducing our culture,\" she says.\n\n\"That's why all over the world it's known as a Brazilian. I played it that way so they would leave me alone. But it started here, not there.\"\n\nPeople haven't forgotten that the J Sisters were the real pioneers. They were consulted for shows like Gossip Girl and Sex And the City.\n\n\"Sarah Jessica Parker came here all the time,\" says Jocely.\n\nThey count many celebrities as close friends.\n\n\"They have very intimate relationships with people,\" says Malin.\n\n\"If you spread your legs to a woman then you don't have anything else to hide. I've been there so many times and you end up talking about everything: depression, kids, anal sex... It's crazy and a little bit therapeutic.\"\n\nAs well as Malin's book, a biopic about the sisters is in production in Brazil - a \"dramedy\", or comic drama, say the producers. \"They were very brave to leave this small town in Brazil and go to New York with no money and no English,\" says Karen Castanho, one of the producers. \"They have such energy, I've never met anyone like them.\"\n\nFemale body hair is a recurring theme in the work of French street artist Sandrine Boulet\n\nSo what does the future hold for the Brazilian wax?\n\nThe trend could be on its way out. A recent study has linked pubic grooming to an increase in sexually transmitted infections. The GB cycling team banned bikini waxes during the Olympics because the hair protects against chafing. Even Tatler magazine recently announced the return of the natural look.\n\nBack in the London office toilet this, too, has been noticed. \"Boys are saying: 'Don't do it, if you shave it all off you look like a baby,\" says Alex, 23. Her friend Cameron, 21, agrees. \"Yes, my friends say they like bush because they feel more mature being with that person.\"\n\nBut the J Sisters always move with the times. For the past 10 years they've been waxing men. And since Jocely discovered her first grey hair down there, the salon can also dye pubic hair, to prevent the kind of home-dying mishaps featured in Sex and the City. One thing's for sure, thanks to their influence this part of the body will never again be neglected.\n\nSome names have been changed.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.\n• None BBC - Future - Why do we have pubic hair-\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "It's important to have achievable goals\n\nAfter the excesses of the festive season, the thoughts of many turn to making resolutions to stop bad habits and take up healthier ones.\n\nUnfortunately, quite a few fail.\n\nBut there are some psychological tactics which can be employed to increase the chances of success.\n\nPsychologist Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, has carried out research into the key to sticking to resolutions.\n\nIn a study of 5,000 people who made resolutions, it was those with a \"fatalistic attitude\" who were less likely to succeed.\n\nHe advises it's more than likely old habits will creep back in sometimes, so see those occasions as temporary set-backs and not a reason to give up altogether.\n\n\"Failure is the main thing that stops people If, on day one of their diet, they raid the biscuit tin, they think 'that's it' and give up. But persistence is the key. Start again the next day.\"\n\nSupport from friends and family can help people stick to their goals.\n\nBut Prof Wiseman says women might be more likely to benefit. \"They are generally better at offering moral support. Men tend to try and encourage you to have more dessert.\"\n\nNoting down progress can help\n\nThis can be something public like a blog - or the fridge door - or more privately, in a spreadsheet or a journal.\n\nIt might help to note down each gym visit, or decision not to have cake.\n\nProf Wiseman also advises having a checklist to show how life will be better once your goals are achieved - and allow small rewards throughout the process to keep up motivation levels.\n\nIt has to be something specific that can be realistically achieved.\n\nRunning a marathon, say, would be too much for a non-runner to aim for, while a vague desire to 'get fit' is hard to measure.\n\n\"Maybe start by saying you'll go to the gym once a week, then you can look at moving up to two,\" advises Prof Wiseman.\n\nAnd be realistic - it's best to choose one thing to focus on rather than having a raft of goals to increase the chances of success.\n\nThis is important in terms of knowing what prompts behaviour you want to avoid - and to help encourage healthier habits.\n\n\"It could be as simple as not having biscuits in the house so you're not tempted - or understanding the stress triggers that make you reach for a cigarette,\" Prof Wiseman says.\n\nAnd he says it's possible to create new triggers to prompt you in your new, healthier habits.\n\n\"You can decide that when the news starts, that's the time when you set off for the gym\".", "It was Margaret Thatcher's biggest political misjudgement - and brought her career as prime minister to an ignominious end.\n\nThe poll tax (or community charge) was supposed to make local council finance fairer and more accountable. Instead it triggered civil disobedience and riots and a rebellion in the Conservative Party.\n\nCabinet papers for 1989 and 1990, released today at the National Archives in Kew, reveal the reaction to the crisis at the heart of government. They show how involved the prime minister herself was.\n\nAnd they pinpoint the moment it dawned on her that her flagship policy had turned into a political disaster which was hitting, not Labour local councils, but her natural supporters.\n\nThe size of the files alone - there are nine thick manila folders compiled over 18 months - are evidence of how far the poll tax dominated government thinking. Mark Dunton, a specialist in modern records at the National Archives, calls it a \"juggernaut\".\n\nThough simple in principle the tax proved to be immensely complex in practice. The files are full of highly technical papers - many of them annotated by Mrs Thatcher.\n\nOne of the National Archives' specialists says the poll tax files are a \"juggernaut\"\n\nThey also include a warning from April 1989 that she risked a fine if she didn't complete her own registration form on time.\n\nBut the technical challenges of introducing the tax paled beside the political problems it threw up.\n\nThe government had expected opposition to a measure specifically targeted at high-spending, mainly Labour-controlled, councils. What they hadn't expected was the reaction from their own supporters, as the April 1990 date for its introduction in England and Wales drew near.\n\nIn September the previous year her environment secretary, Chris Patten noted \"a good deal of pressure developing\" and Nigel Lawson, who was to resign as chancellor the following month, told Mrs Thatcher: \"We are faced with a potentially difficult Parliamentary situation.\"\n\nBy January, Patten was telling her there could be as many as 83 rebel MPs on the Tory benches. And she got a powerful sense of the anger among formerly loyal Conservative voters in March when a constituent of the Norfolk MP Ralph Howell wrote to her.\n\nMr WE Jones and his wife were in their 70s, living on modest pensions, and under the poll tax would be paying more than twice what they paid under the old system of rates, while better-off people in large houses would be paying less. He accused the prime minister of being uncaring.\n\nA major poll tax demonstration in London in March 1990 ended in violence\n\n\"You have taken advantage of your position to impose your will upon us to the point where you are now virtually a Dictator riding roughshod over anyone who opposes you,\" he wrote on 3 March.\n\nIn the files released today the couple's address has been redacted, though a later memo reveals they lived in a house called Dream of Delight in the village of Great Snoring.\n\nHowell asked for a meeting. The prime minister's adviser Mark Lennox-Boyd suggested he should be granted an audience: \"The meeting will be a waste of time, but I am afraid she will have to do it to keep his frustration at bay.\"\n\nYet the files suggest it may not have been a waste of time, for this was the point when Mrs Thatcher finally realised that something must be done.\n\nShe turned not to her environment secretary Chris Patten, who had the job of bringing in the new tax, but to her recently-appointed chancellor, John Major. On 25 March (six days before an enormous demonstration against the poll tax in London which developed into serious rioting) the files contain a \"note for the record\" of a phone conversation between the two.\n\nEnvironment secretary Chris Patten (r) was charged with introducing the poll tax\n\nInstead of the tax shining a spotlight on spendthrift local councils, she said, the government was getting the blame for high charges, and the impact was falling on those in middle income groups, what she called the \"conscientious middle\".\n\nMajor agreed with the need for what he called a \"radical review\" to find a way to cap charges and give local authorities more money, but without increasing overall public expenditure.\n\nOver the next two months the files reveal a succession of crisis meetings as ministers desperately tried to find a way out of their predicament, including the perceived unfairness of a system in which \"Dukes and dustmen\" both paid the same.\n\nOne idea was to raise more money. Should councils be allowed to use cash from the sale of council houses to subsidise the poll tax? Or should people on higher incomes pay more? That idea was floated by the prime minister herself in an unusual signed \"personal minute\" to Major on 9 April.\n\nAnd she had another idea: putting an extra penny on a gallon of petrol and distributing the proceeds to councils. She wrote in the suggestion by hand three times on a memo of 10 April listing options. But none of her colleagues seems to have paid any attention and the idea went nowhere.\n\nMichael Portillo says he and Chris Patten wanted to \"take the guts out\" of the poll tax\n\nMeanwhile there was a growing split. Patten and the local government minister Michael Portillo wanted to increase central government grants to local authorities. Mrs Thatcher wasn't having it. \"No,\" she wrote firmly in the margin on one occasion.\n\nThen she and Major, without apparently consulting Patten, came up with an idea for allowing local councils to levy a higher poll tax than stipulated by central government, provided they first put it to a local referendum (a \"poll tax poll\").\n\nPatten was opposed, believing the necessary legislation would be \"massive in its political significance\" and difficult to get through Parliament. One of Mrs Thatcher's private secretaries, Barry Potter, suggested that Patten was feeling \"bruised\" at being ignored.\n\nBy the end of June Potter told the prime minister that Patten and Portillo, still arguing for more government funds, were now \"isolated\".\n\nToday Michael Portillo says he and Chris Patten really wanted to find a way effectively to abolish the poll tax: \"We wanted to take the guts out of it, take the bits that were hurting out of it… but we recognised for her sensitivity that it would still have to be called the poll tax.\"\n\nThey also believed the problem would take central government money to resolve. \"It's worth remembering that when the poll tax was eventually replaced by the council tax, it cost about £6bn in money of the day - an enormous amount. And I'm pretty sure that Chris Patten and I were asking for only a fraction of that,\" says Mr Portillo.\n\nAs to the lessons to be learnt from the debacle, he draws a parallel between the decision to introduce the poll tax \"without thinking it through\" and David Cameron's decision to hold a referendum on Europe without thinking through the consequences.\n\n\"The lesson ought to be, think carefully before you do things. But the chances of prime ministers learning that are, I think, slim.\"\n\nBut nothing worked. The practical difficulties and the political pressures were too great and Mrs Thatcher's career was foundering. In November Michael Heseltine, an outspoken critic of the poll tax, triggered a leadership contest from which John Major emerged the winner.\n\nHe appointed Heseltine as environment secretary, increased VAT to generate extra cash for councils and announced the abolition of the community charge, and its replacement by council tax, in March 1991.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Australia has resettled about half of the 12,000 refugees it agreed to take in over the past 13 months from the conflict in Syria, but how are they adapting to life in their new country?\n\nIt is a year since Iymen Baerli, a refugee from Syria, arrived in Sydney with his wife and three young children.\n\nWithin days, the skies above the harbour of Australia's biggest city sparkled and glowed as arguably the world's finest fireworks display ushered in another new year.\n\nThe newcomers shared their adopted homeland's optimism about the journey ahead. Iymen, a 52-year old former pharmaceutical sales rep, had ambitions to open up a catering business, helped by his brother, who ran a well-established cake shop in suburban Sydney.\n\nBut 12 months later much of that hope has withered and the Baerli family are living at their modest apartment in Guildford, a multicultural district 25km (15 miles) from Sydney Opera House.\n\nWar had forced them out of their home in Homs, Syria's third largest city, and they sought safety in Egypt.

They live in Australia but they are not actually carrying Australian values.\"\n\nThe city of Homs, dubbed \"the capital of the revolution\" suffered widespread destruction\n\nIt is a harsh assessment, but officials have conceded that many of those fleeing the Syrian conflict have found life tough in Australia and that finding jobs in particular has not been easy.\n\n\"It is that extraordinary mixed feeling,\" said Prof Peter Shergold, the New South Wales co-ordinator general for refugee resettlement.\n\n\"At one level I think their first feeling as they get out of the airport is just sheer relief, expectations that they can build a new life, but of course absolute fear of what they have left behind, is this the right decision?\"\n\nHe believes it is crucial the migrants mix with the broader community.\n\n\"They are coming to a society in which 27% of Australians were born overseas and a similar number had a parent born overseas.\n\n\"They are coming to a society which is used to diversity and that helps integrate into society and, yes, initially you'll tend to live in areas where other people from your ethnicity or religion live, [but] they need to get outside that if they are going to get employment,\" Prof Shergold added.\n\nThe remaining 6,000 refugees from the Syrian crisis are expected to arrive in Australia within a year.\n\nImmigration minister Peter Dutton has said the refugee resettlement programme might expand\n\nBut Alex Greenwich, an independent MP in the New South Wales state parliament, believes the humanitarian programme needs to move faster.\n\n\"The refugee and asylum seeker immigration process is intensely bureaucratic,\" he said.\n\n\"It is much better for a refugee to spend less time in a camp and get into being welcomed into a community. It is better for their health, their mental health. It is obviously something that we should be prioritising and fast-tracking.\"\n\nIn Canberra, the government has indicated it could resettle more of those displaced by atrocities and fighting in Syria.\n\n\"If we get this programme right, [it allows us] to say to the Australian people that we may want to expand this programme,\" Immigration Minister Peter Dutton told local media.\n\n\"If people have faith in the integrity of the process, then it does give the government the ability to expand beyond the 12,000.\"\n\nAs the conflict grinds on in Syria, 14,000km away in Sydney, Iymen's wife Abir Baerli closely follows developments on Arabic TV channels and online.

It's a fantastic strike.\"\n\nArsenal manager Arsene Wenger: \"It was a great counter-attack at great speed, his reflex surprised everybody who knows football and that's what makes the goal great.\n\n\"I have been a bit spoiled over the years by the exceptional quality of the players I've had, but it will be remembered as an exceptional goal.\n\n\"Olly is very good in front of goal, but I've never seen this kind of goal from him.\"\n\nArsenal lost ground in the title race with defeats by Everton and Manchester City, and began this game in fifth place following Tottenham's win at Watford.\n\nGiroud's goal was the highlight of an otherwise lacklustre first half in which the only other moment of note was the Frenchman missing his kick attempting to meet a cross inside the six-yard box.\n\nStill, the Gunners' threat was always apparent, particularly in the shape of the forward running of full-backs Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal, who tormented the Palace defence throughout.\n\nMonreal was involved in the second goal, providing a cross that was not dealt with, Iwobi heading in despite the efforts of Palace defender Joel Ward on the line.\n\nPalace had the chance to win Allardyce's first match in charge, only for Christian Benteke to have a penalty saved in the 1-1 draw with Watford.\n\nAt Arsenal, a team Allardyce has never beaten away in 13 Premier League attempts, what he already knew was reinforced - his new team are a threat going forward but need to improve at the back.\n\nThe 35 goals Palace have conceded is the most by any team outside the relegation zone. Though they were often organised, an inability to deal with Arsenal's movement ensured Hennessey was kept busy and the defending for the home side's second goal was shambolic.\n\nAfter that, Palace had their best spell of pressure. Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend provided the drive, with Townsend, Benteke and Yohan Cabaye all calling Cech into action.\n\nThere is plenty to suggest Palace can move clear of trouble if Allardyce can add his trademark tightness to their backline.\n\n\"Our season won't be defined by results against the top six,\" he said. \"What we do when we play the teams in the bottom half of the league will be the defining reason of whether or not we get out of the bottom half.\n\n\"I have every confidence in the players that it will turn around and hopefully as quick as possible.\"\n• None Olivier Giroud has scored eight goals in his past six starts for Arsenal in all competitions.\n• None Sam Allardyce has never won at Arsenal as a manager in all competitions, drawing four and losing 12 of his 16 visits.\n• None Since joining the club, Alexis Sanchez has had a hand in 88 goals for Arsenal in all competitions (56 goals, 32 assists) - 26 more than any other Gunner.\n• None Arsenal have won 130 of their 200 Premier League games at the Emirates under Arsene Wenger (65%) - they won 72% of their league games at Highbury under the Frenchman (134/186).\n• None The Gunners have kept consecutive Premier League clean sheets at home for the first time this season, last doing so in their final three games of 2015-16.\n• None Crystal Palace have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past 20 Premier League away games, since a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth in December 2015.\n• None Allardyce has failed to win either of his first two Premier League games in charge of a club for the first time in his career.\n\nBoth teams are in action on Tuesday.

But even in this unpromising landscape, defiance takes root in unlikely corners.\n\nWe were in the private dining room of a showy restaurant and the boss was already slurring his words. A large man with a level gaze, he'd finished one bottle of fine French wine and was moving on to a second.\n\nAs he lit a cigarette, two glasses went over like nine pins, one splashing red wine across the table and the other smashing on to the floor.\n\nIf influential people join the fight for legal rights - in between trips to London's casinos - then perhaps progress really is coming\n\nBut he barely seemed to notice and went on telling me how he'd loved London's casinos when he stopped off on the way back from visiting his daughter's British boarding school.\n\nImagine my surprise, then, when across the dishes stacked with roast duck and dumplings, this local Mr Big suddenly thrust at me a brown file full of well-thumbed papers.\n\n\"Fifteen years I've been fighting this miscarriage of justice,\" he declared. A handbrake turn from talk of boarding schools and casinos.\n\nHe told me he'd got embroiled in a factional power battle. One local Communist Party boss wanted him to dish the dirt on a rival.\n\nNine members of his family had been detained and interrogated and when he wouldn't sign statements incriminating the political target, he himself was jailed on charges of tax evasion.\n\nEven worse, a cousin had died mysteriously in police custody. By the time he'd got to the end of this grimly familiar story of crime and injustice, the second bottle of red wine was empty and we'd long run out of things to toast.\n\nNow I don't usually see it as my job to deliver unpalatable truths to provincial restaurant bosses. The private dining rooms of China have seen more coldblooded politics than I will ever conceive.\n\nBut I had eaten his dinner and the least I could do in return was point out that he would not win his battle for justice and instead would waste a lot of money and a lot of political capital in the process of losing.\n\n\"I don't care about the money!\" he replied. \"The innocent must never give up on justice. I'll campaign for this wrong to be righted till the day I die.\"\n\nWell that brought me up short. I'm not used to private citizens standing on principle in China, especially not rich people. After all, this is a huge, homogenising society under an authoritarian one-party state.\n\nPrinciples often seem like a dangerous and expensive luxury. Yes, Communist Party leaders make speeches about principles, but for the public that's even more reason to regard such talk as arrant hypocrisy.\n\nI'd even go so far as to say that many Chinese people today are actively intolerant or suspicious of those who stand up for values.\n\nGeorge Bernard Shaw may have written, \"the reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man\".\n\nBut you don't hear people quoting that in China. Instead there are plenty of proverbs telling people to keep their heads down or they'll get them lopped off.\n\nGeorge Bernard Shaw's unreasonable man is plain crazy in this worldview. Not someone heroic and brave, but a loser who will go down and probably take his family and friends with him.\n\nIt's not so surprising given that people with convictions are the enemy to a paranoid political class which regards alternative values as an existential challenge.\n\nBut at this dining table I was now rethinking my assumptions about the people standing up to the system and shrugging off the crazy tag.\n\nI'd recently met a renegade bishop who was defying both the Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nAnd when I noted that many Roman Catholics were calling him crazy, he observed that people had called Jesus Christ crazy too.\n\nI'd observed brave human rights lawyers standing up for imprisoned colleagues. And young politicians in Hong Kong resisting Beijing's surreal version of democracy.\n\nBut the story that made me stop and think was this one among the wine stains and the scallops sprinkled with cigarette ash… a well-fed restaurant boss with so much to lose from upsetting local party bosses determined to join the ranks of George Bernard Shaw's unreasonable men and women.\n\nIf people like this join the fight for legal rights - in between their trips to London's casinos - then perhaps progress really is coming.", "When toddler TJ Scully-Sloan died suddenly, his mum and siblings were offered support and a shoulder to cry on. But his dad was asked how he was feeling just once, by an undertaker. The experience led to him setting up a group to help fathers address a question no-one wants to have to answer - how do you cope after the death of a child?\n\nFriday 19 November 2010 was like any other night in the Scully-Sloan household. After a normal, busy, bedtime routine, TJ was tucked into bed by his mum, Helen. It was like any other night, except the little boy didn't wake up.\n\nSix years on, Paul Scully-Sloan, 49, still struggles with the words.\n\n\"At a quarter-past five the next morning, his two-year-old sister Miya-May was up shouting, running round, banging doors. His four year-old brother Calum was standing in the middle of the floor, like a rabbit in the headlights.\n\n\"Helen looked at TJ who wasn't moving with all this noise. She shouts for me and I can tell there's something wrong.\n\n\"I said 'give me your phone - take the kids downstairs - turn on the television, stand by the front door'. I picked TJ up from the bed, he's cold and he's blue, put him on the floor, started to try to resuscitate him and at the same time ringing the ambulance.\n\nPaul Scully-Sloan set up Daddys with Angels to support other fathers facing the loss of a child\n\n\"What seemed like forever, but it was like 20 minutes, a paramedic came in and told me there was nothing I could do.\"\n\nTJ - whose full name was Travers James - had died in his sleep of natural causes. Tests found he'd had inflamed tonsils and a severe flu-like virus.\n\nIn a period of indescribable grief, Mr Scully-Sloan felt alone.\n\nHe \"didn't fit the criteria\" for many established child loss charities. His son was too old for Mr Scully-Sloan to benefit from the help of miscarriage or stillbirth organisations. He felt fathers needed somewhere to unload.\n\nIn the front room of a house in Northampton, Daddys With Angels (DWA) was born.\n\n\"There wasn't a place for dads where they felt welcome,\" he said. \"There wasn't a place to say what they needed or what they wanted to say, to be honest about it, without the fear of being judged. There were groups for men - but run by women.\n\n\"You're supposed to be strong, to crack on with it.\n\n\"I had some understanding of child loss through my work, but not of the impact. Everything changes,\" he said.\n\n\"We talk about the 'new normal'. Waking up knowing your child is not there. But life is not going to go back to the way it was, things are going to change and you're going to view things differently.\"\n\nIncreasingly, bereaved fathers are turning to groups such as Mr Scully-Sloan's.\n\nThe Lullaby Trust, which supports families after a sudden infant death, offers a befriending service to extended family members, which has seen great demand from dads.\n\n\"We have a policy here that we always ask about the other parent after a child's death, and our befriender scheme is well used by dads,\" said director of services, Jenny Ward.\n\n\"Different groups need different means to reach that support and the way people access it is changing all the time.\"\n\nMr Scully-Sloan, who is separated from TJ's mother, says the stress of losing a child can have a devastating effect on the family unit.\n\n\"In order to be good for your partner you need to be in a good place yourself. The biggest problem with child loss and couples is that they don't tell each other how they're feeling. They fear they'll upset them even more. What they really want to say is: 'I hurt too'.\n\n\"As soon as they can say that - it's almost like a relief. The other person in that relationship is feeling the same.\"\n\nAt the time of his son's death, Mr Scully-Sloan was also desperately ill with liver disease and awaiting a transplant.\n\n\"We had his funeral four days before Christmas,\" he said.\n\nKnitted cots have been donated from across the country\n\n\"People were coming to the door - people we hadn't seen for ages - bringing flowers and saying 'how's Helen?' - telling me I looked yellow. People were phoning up to speak to Helen, even when we were at the hospital, people were asking 'how's Helen, how's the kids?'\n\n\"The only person who asked me, between TJ dying and the funeral, was the undertaker. She looked after TJ so well, asking what I wanted him to wear - he had his ear pierced - she even managed to put his little earring back in for him. She did that for us - the little things.\n\n\"At the funeral I said I wanted to carry his coffin. It was cornflower blue. When I had to take it out of the hearse I couldn't pick it up - nobody said 'how are you - do you need any help?' - I had to put it down and admit I wasn't strong enough.\"\n\nThis, said Mr Scully-Sloan, is why he wants to help other bereaved dads.\n\n\"Fathers need to know someone has walked in their shoes,\" he said.\n\n\"I know what it's like to sit alone with the TV off and the lights off, just sitting there thinking.\n\n\"Men want to fix things; they can't fix child loss. The next best thing is to talk about it.\"\n\nKnitted bootees donated to Daddys With Angels for stillborn babies\n\nDaddys With Angels now has almost 1,000 members, six trustees and four support workers, helping anyone who has lost a child at any age.\n\nMr Scully-Sloan describes it as a \"safe place\" for fathers to \"rant or chat\" or get support and advice.\n\nDWA has twice won Best UK Support Organisation at the Butterfly Awards, which celebrates the work of parents and professionals at the front line of bereavement.\n\nThe aim now is to establish a DWA helpline and set up group meetings around the country.\n\nAn appeal for volunteers to knit cots, wraps and hats for still-born babies saw a big response and items now fill Mr Scully-Sloan's living room.\n\nHe has already delivered dozens to bereavement midwives at the Liverpool Women's Hospital, his local unit at Northampton General and to funeral homes.\n\nRachael Moss, a bereavement support midwife at Northampton General Hospital, said the little cots are a lifeline.\n\n\"The items brought in are so individual and so appreciated, you can see how much care and compassion has gone into making them - it's amazing.\n\n\"Families know they are not on their own. To know that there is someone else out there, another means of support, means everything.\"", "The past 12 months have marked another restive year for the Middle East, with wars raging, populations suffering and militancy on the rampage. Here the BBC's Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, highlights five issues which helped shaped the region in 2016.\n\nSome hoped that 2016 would be the beginning of the end for the jihadists of so-called Islamic State (IS). That might become one of the stories of 2017. But those who predicted that IS would fall easily were optimistic.\n\nThe Iraqi government offensive to re-capture Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, has stalled. In house-to-house fighting, the Golden Brigade, which was trained by the US military, has suffered a 50% casualty rate, according to the Americans, though this figure is denied by Iraqi military personnel in Baghdad.\n\nThe Golden Brigade is part of the Iraqi government's elite Counter Terrorism Service (CTS), which has been bearing the brunt of the fight against IS.\n\nIn early December combat operations in Mosul were slowed down, because the level of casualties meant that the CTS risked running out of trained men.\n\nThe Iraqi Security Forces have said they will concentrate more on artillery and air operations but that will kill more civilians, which could play into the hands of IS.\n\nBy the end of the year the battle for Aleppo had been won decisively by a coalition made up of the Syrian state, Russia, Iran, Lebanese Hezbollah and a variety of other militias.\n\nIt did not mean the end of the war but it was another sign that the war in Syria was entering a new phase.\n\nMore than ever, it was much more than a fight between the government and those who wanted to destroy it.\n\nIncreasingly the war is dominated by the agendas of the major powers that have intervened in the Syrian war. One example that affected matters in Aleppo was Turkey's decision to make a priority of its fight with the Kurds.\n\nThat meant it needed better relations with the Russians, which meant looking away in Aleppo as Russia led the charge against its erstwhile clients, in return for Russian acquiescence in Turkey's actions in northern Syria.\n\nIn 2017, unless the new ceasefire holds and gives way to meaningful peace talks, more Syrians will die and the war will continue to export crisis, violence and uncertainty.\n\nYears of war, corruption and under-development weakened Yemen before the war between the Houthis and a Saudi-led coalition pushed it into catastrophe.\n\nFigures are not precise but one estimate is that 10,000 have been killed in the war and 37,000 wounded. Many are civilians.\n\nAccording to the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, 19 million people in Yemen need urgent assistance. More than half the population has no healthcare.\n\nLarge numbers of Yemenis have been displaced by the war and are destitute.\n\nEvery war is brutal but the one in Yemen also features the grotesque sight of the region's wealthiest countries bombing the poorest, helped by the US and Britain who sell vast amounts of weaponry to the Saudis and other coalition allies.\n\nDespite all that firepower, the Saudis have not crushed the Houthis, which means that misery and death will be the fate of many Yemenis in 2017.\n\nAll that is good news for the jihadists of al-Qaeda and Islamic State who have a haven, and a source of recruits, in Yemen.\n\nThe Middle East has one of the youngest populations in the world. Around 60% are under the age of 30. Their sense of hopelessness and anger drove the uprisings of 2011.\n\nFive years on, the grievances that sent them out on to the streets in 2011 still exist. Unemployment is still rampant. So is corruption.\n\nEgypt has the makings of another perfect storm of repression, discontent, sectarian conflict and economic failure. Syria, Libya and Yemen are gripped by war.\n\nSaudi Arabia's leaders have realised that buying off discontent is not a long-term strategy in a world of lower oil prices. There are ambitious plans to transform the economy but there is also the old Saudi problem, that reform is a suspicious idea because change could risk the power of the ruling family and the religious establishment.\n\nTheir conflict has been largely out of the headlines, drowned out by the tumult coming from the rest of the region.\n\nBut just because it has been noticed less does not mean that it has gone away. The fundamental causes of all the mutual hatred are present and correct, festering noxiously as they have done for generations.\n\nThe conflict retains its power to cause rage in people who have never even visited Jerusalem. One Middle Eastern certainty is that it will reignite.\n\nUpdate 6 January 2017: This report has been updated to include an Iraqi response to claims of high casualties among special forces in the fight for Mosul.", "England manager Gareth Southgate fears young players are not reaching their potential because they get \"big money for achieving nothing\".\n\nFormer England Under-21 boss Southgate, 46, says youngsters thinking they have \"already made it\" is a \"concern\".\n\nHowever, he believes \"top\" players will still come through - because they have drive and determination.\n\n\"If you don't have that inner drive there's a danger you'll never be a top professional,\" he told the BBC.\n• Listen to the full interview on\n\nThe 2016 Global Sports Salaries Survey found the average basic wage of a Premier League player was £2.4m a year, or £48,766 a week.\n\nManchester United manager Jose Mourinho has spoken in the past of young players being made \"rich before they have played one Premier League game\".\n\nAnd Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham are among the clubs to have capped the earnings of young players in an attempt to make them focus on their football.\n\nSouthgate, who played 57 times for England, also told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme:\n• None England need to show more humility\n• None He wants to take pressure off captain Wayne Rooney by finding more \"leaders\"\n• None He wants to help his players become mentally stronger\n• None He wants to excite England fans - and make them proud of their team\n\nSouthgate, who took charge after Sam Allardyce's departure in September, is concerned by the amount of money paid to young players before they become first-team regulars.\n\nHe cited Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi as the type of players who are \"not distracted\" by money as \"their desire is to win trophies and be the best player they can be\".\n\nHe said: \"The very best players have that drive and that's why they get to the top. The concern is for any young player at an academy, who's not quite made it in the first team, but thinks they have because you get big money for having achieved nothing.\n\n\"If you don't have that inner drive, there's a danger you'll never actually get to be a top professional or be a first-team player.\n\n\"For a short period of time that won't have any impact on them financially, but in years to come they could look back and have huge regrets.\"\n\n'Rooney responsibilities have to be shared'\n\nSouthgate has said Wayne Rooney will remain as England captain, though the Manchester United forward, 31, was only a substitute for the World Cup qualifier against Slovenia in October.\n\nSouthgate, who captained Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough during his playing career, wants Rooney's team-mates to \"step forward\".\n\nHe added: \"In the team I played in at Euro '96, there were probably seven of us who were captains of our clubs. You need strong characters, not only to make decisions but when the game's going against you.\n\n\"At different moments you've got to have different people take that lead, whether that's being brave enough to take the ball or talking to the others, getting them mentally back on course.\n\n\"A lot of that responsibility over the last few years has fallen on Wayne Rooney's shoulders; that's got to be shared, that's got to be developed and that's not just on the field but off the field in particular.\"\n\nSouthgate added he had already seen \"potential leaders\" in his four matches in charge.\n\n'I can discipline people but that has a short-term effect'\n\nEngland players have been banned by the Football Association from having nights out while on international duty.\n\nIt came after newspaper reports several players were at a nightclub in the early hours of the morning after the 3-0 win over Scotland in November. Rooney, meanwhile, was pictured with members of a wedding party at the team's hotel.\n\nSouthgate said players are \"far more dedicated\" than during his career - and he should not have to control them.\n\n\"We live in a world where everyone has a camera phone, everybody has access to social media and anything you do is out in a very public manner very quickly so players have to recognise that,\" he said.\n\n\"You set a culture, an environment and the players have to be involved in that. I can discipline people, but that has a short-term effect.\n\n\"A disciplined life in sport is when an athlete or a player decides how they're going to commit themselves to their training, commits themselves to living their life, and you're letting your team-mates down if you don't adhere to that. For me, it's not controlling the players - the environment should create that.\"\n\nSouthgate, who played for England at three major tournaments, says one of his priorities is to develop the mental strength of his players.\n\nThe Three Lions, then under Roy Hodgson, went out of Euro 2016 at the last-16 stage with a 2-1 defeat by Iceland.\n\n\"When I was playing, we went into tournaments as one of the favourites, and over the last few years we've been going in hope rather than as one of the top-ranked teams,\" said Southgate.\n\n\"Tournaments will always be at the end of the season so we have to get the physical load right in the way we train, maintain fitness levels at the highest possible but also maintain freshness.\n\n\"The mental peaking is key and there are things we can work on to help that develop. Mental resilience is generally a product of the experiences you have been through in your life and some of those will be on the sports field and some outside of sport.\n\n\"We cannot just rely on the 10 or 12 fixtures a year, we have to develop that.\"\n\nSouthgate signed a four-year contract in November after four matches in interim charge.\n\nThe deal will take him through the 2018 World Cup and 2020 European Championship, the final of which will be at Wembley.\n\nEngland have not reached the quarter-finals of a major competition since Euro 2012, and Southgate wants to make fans of the national side proud.\n\n\"People will judge our success on the outcome of European Championships and the World Cup,\" he said.\n\n\"But, for me, every time we get together we have to get better. If in two years' time we've got a team that excites the supporters and they are proud of, we're heading in the right direction.\"\n\nSouthgate said the style of play his players adopted was \"important\" but acknowledged \"ultimately we have to win\".\n\n\"There is a desire to play a possession-based game. I think our top teams are playing in a fashion with a high-pressing game, so when players come with England why would we ask them to do something completely different?\" he said.\n\n\"There's also a desire to excite the public - we are in a sport where people pay a lot of money to come and watch and they want an England team that excites them.\n\n\"We've got some really exciting potential - we've got some very exciting players to come through.\"\n\nEngland are 13th in the Fifa rankings, and have not been in the top five since March 2013.\n\nSouthgate says some \"humility\" would \"not be a bad thing\".\n\n\"We're 13th in the world rankings and at the last two tournaments we haven't got through a knockout game,\" he added.\n\n\"There are some obstacles we have to overcome but for me that's a great opportunity and the potential is huge.\n\n\"I don't have any fear in what lies ahead because I'm just seeing what's possible. How do we go to being the number one team in the world?\n\n\"We've got to deliver, we've got to work hard, we've got to work intelligently. I'm looking at what's achievable, I'm not thinking about anything else.\"\n\nHodgson, who resigned following the shock defeat by Iceland in June, last month told Sportsweek the England job had left him scarred.\n\n\"I can understand that because I had that when I lost my job at Middlesbrough as a young coach,\" Southgate said.\n\n\"The things that don't go right will always be there as part of your life but it's how you respond that determines what you're going to be as a person and coach. We would ask our players to rebound from those moments and to be stronger for them - that applies to coaches as well.\"\n\nSouthgate says he had no reservations about taking the job, and his family are \"fully supportive\".\n\n\"My wife's lived through my playing career so she's suffered enough over the years - so what's to fear?\" he said.\n\n\"One of the outcomes of the playing career I had is that I was disappointed not to win the things I wanted to. I won a few trophies, I won some caps, but not as many as I wanted to.\n\n\"You always want to prove people wrong, you want the opportunity to show people you have the resilience to bounce back from those things.\n\n\"It's about what's possible, what's achievable - otherwise why would you take on any role? There's a moment where you feel all the experiences in life you've had, now's the moment to step forward and lead.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nLiverpool maintained their pursuit of Premier League leaders Chelsea as they moved to within six points of the pacesetters with victory over Manchester City at Anfield.\n\nGeorginio Wijnaldum's soaring eighth-minute header from Adam Lallana's cross was enough to put Liverpool in second place and put a serious dent in City's own title challenge.\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp led the celebrations at the end of a game that was high on energy but sadly lacking in any moments of genuine quality.\n\nCity, who laboured throughout, improved in the second half but never seriously threatened Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and this loss leaves them 10 points adrift of Chelsea.\n\nKlopp gets better of Pep\n\nThis was the first Premier League meeting between two huge personalities straight from the top tier of management - and it brought a victory for Jurgen Klopp to cherish at Pep Guardiola's expense.\n\nThe head-to-head was locked at 4-4 after their meetings in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This was a different stage with different prizes on offer - but it was an occasion that was just as charged.\n\nKlopp, in 15 months, has revitalised Liverpool and given hope to supporters longing to end the wait for a first title since 1990. And as they continue their pursuit of relentless Chelsea, belief continues to grow that the charismatic German can still haul in Antonio Conte's side.\n\nLiverpool's manager was, as usual, celebrating with his players after the final whistle before pumping his chest in mock relief in front of Anfield's huge new Main Stand.\n\nAnd, when City fleetingly threatened a second-half comeback, he turned cheerleader in front of those same fans with a demand to lift the noise levels that was met instantly.\n\nKlopp has become the new Anfield talisman. Under him, the transformation of his team and the mood around the club continues.\n\nSomething else that will give Liverpool's fans great heart is the way in which Klopp is getting results against his closest rivals.\n\nSince his appointment in October 2015, Klopp has faced a total of 13 Premier League games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham. He has lost only one - a single goal defeat by United last season.\n\nHe has also enjoyed a Europa League win over two legs against United, although the balance is redressed slightly by a loss on penalties against Manchester City in last season's Capital One Cup final.\n\nLiverpool - and indeed Manchester City - are having to run to stand still in the Premier League title race, with Chelsea stretching their winning run to 13 games as they beat Stoke City earlier on Saturday.\n\nIt meant this was a game both sides needed to win - hence the contrasting emotions of Klopp and Guardiola at the final whistle.\n\nLiverpool are underdogs but six points is still a gap that can be closed and Chelsea have to visit Anfield on 31 January.\n\nKlopp's players have shown strength of character with their response to setbacks earlier this month, when they lost 4-3 at Bournemouth and drew 2-2 at home to West Ham.\n\nThey have also shown they can win in different ways. Recent victories over Middlesbrough and Stoke showcased a free-flowing style. At Everton and against City, they toughed it out - and answered questions about a supposedly vulnerable defence. It is evidence that Liverpool must be taken very seriously as title challengers.\n\nIt is far too early to dismiss a manager of Guardiola's ability - and a team of City's talents - in terms of the Premier League title race. However, the 10-point gap between themselves and Chelsea is starting to look as if it will only be overturned by extraordinary events.\n\nCity were too timid for too long here at Anfield. Sergio Aguero - returning after a four-match ban - was starved of service, while Kevin de Bruyne was marginalised and largely snuffed out by Liverpool's intense pressing style.\n\nIt was still David Silva who called the shots when they did put some moves together after the break but Yaya Toure could not exert serious influence.\n\nGuardiola's task should at least be put in context. City were a team short on inspiration and spark for much of last season under Manuel Pellegrini. Perhaps it was too much to expect even a manager of Guardiola's pedigree to apply an instant fix.\n\nCity should never be ruled out. But on the evidence of this flat performance - and the growing sense that significant renewal of the squad is still needed - dragging back Chelsea may be beyond them for this season.\n\n'I don't care about criticism' - what they said\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: \"I know everyone talks about our defence. It's not about avoiding goals - that's the end product - it's about how we work together.\n\n\"I think we have the smallest number of shots on our goal in the league. Tonight the concentration level was outstanding.\n\n\"I don't care about criticism of our defence. You always pick out things that aren't right but that's how goals are.\"\n\nManchester City boss Pep Guardiola: \"It was an equal game. The goal made it difficult against a team who use the counter-attack like a master. The second half was much better.\n\n\"We have to wake up for another game. We need to focus and work - we can't think about the big goals.\"\n\nFormer England defender Phil Neville: \"It was a poor game. I was so disappointed by how poorly Manchester City passed the ball. They didn't get back into shape quick enough.\n\n\"Aleksandar Kolarov should have been winning that header against Georginio Wijnaldum. They were really poor in possession and well off the pace.

Nokia also briefly sold Android-based handsets - known as Nokia X - in 2014.\n\nMicrosoft used Nokia's brand for a short time after buying the company's mobile devices the same year, but later referred to the devices solely by their Lumia name.\n\nNokia once dominated the mobile phone market but struggled after the launch of the iPhone a decade ago, and the subsequent release of Google's Android operating system.\n\nHMD Global had previously indicated it would release several Nokia-branded Android phones in 2017.\n\nIt is expected to provide details of at least some of the other launches at another trade show - Barcelona's Mobile World Congress - in February.\n\n\"The decision by HMD to launch its first Android smartphone into China is a reflection of the desire to meet the real world needs of consumers in different markets around the world,\" the firm said in a statement.\n\n\"With over 552 million smartphone users in China in 2016, a figure that is predicted to grow to more than 593 million users by 2017, it is a strategically important market where premium design and quality is highly valued by consumers.\"\n\nHMD Gobal sells feature phones, including the Nokia 150, in other parts of the world\n\nThe Nokia 6 phone runs Android 7.0 - the latest version, also known as Nougat - and features:\n\nThe specifications are mid-range, and so is the price: 1,699 yuan ($245; £200).\n\nThat makes it slightly more expensive than Huawei's Honor 6X but cheaper than Xiaomi's Mi 5s.\n\n\"Nokia remains one of the most recognised mobile phone brands on the planet,\" commented Ben Wood from the CCS Insight technology consultancy.\n\n\"HMD Global will be hoping it can capitalise on this as it seeks to relaunch Nokia devices in 2017.\n\n\"It will be hoping the brand will help it stand out in the incredibly crowded Android smartphone market, which is characterised by cut-throat competition and a sea of design sameness. \"\n\nBrandon Ackroyd, Head of Customer Insight at Tiger Mobiles believes that Nokia will launch the Nokia 6 globally if the device has a successful launch in Asia.\n\n\"If the Nokia 6 performs well in China then it's highly likely we will see a new international variant of the handset sometime in 2017.

Whole neighbourhoods lie deserted. Houses crumble gently into empty streets.\n\nCars that were once new and shiny sit enshrouded in dust in garages. Debris litters the runway of a former international airport, the solitary abandoned passenger jet a ghostly reminder of the tourists who used to arrive here daily.\n\nWelcome to the \"buffer zone\" in Cyprus.\n\nMore than 40 years ago, this thin strip of land more than 100 miles (160km) long was hastily established after a coup inspired by Greece failed and Turkish forces invaded.\n\nSince then, UN peacekeepers have patrolled the empty streets and manned the distant watchtowers that separate the Greek Cypriot south from the Turkish Cypriot north in this former British colony.\n\nThe buffer zone divides the Greek south of Cyprus from the Turkish north\n\nFor more than 40 years, this is how Cyprus has remained - a divided island in the eastern Mediterranean where no plan to end the conflict has ever quite overcome the status quo.\n\nFor politicians and diplomats are yet again heading for Geneva hoping that a solution might be in sight. After visiting Athens and Ankara last week, the UK's foreign office minister, Sir Alan Duncan, tweeted he was \"hopeful\" that a settlement may be in reach.\n\nThe aim is some kind of united but federal Cyprus where power is shared between the two communities.\n\nHow this might work in practice has defeated all previous diplomatic efforts.\n\nNext week the two sides will meet for a fresh round of talks. If they make progress, then ministers from the three countries that currently guarantee Cyprus's security - Britain, Greece and Turkey - will join.\n\nThe two British military bases on the island will be unaffected by the negotiations.\n\nForeign Secretary Boris Johnson will represent the UK. New UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will be there.\n\nIf a deal looks likely, then it is even possible that British Prime Minister Theresa May might attend, along with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.\n\nMrs May spoke to Mr Erdogan this weekend and they agreed that these talks were \"a real opportunity to secure a better future for Cyprus and to guarantee stability in the wider region\", according to the Mrs May's office.\n\nBut - and it is a big but - we have been here before. Previous attempts at a deal have been defeated by the complexities of the island's politics and tensions between Greece and Turkey. So no-one is guaranteeing success next week.\n\nCars from the 1970s are gathering dust in a show room in the buffer zone\n\nAnd yet there are signs that this time there could be some progress. Diplomats say that both the Greek Cypriot leader, Nicos Anastasiades, and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Mustafa Akinci, appear genuinely committed to achieving a deal.\n\nFor both of them failure is an unattractive option.\n\nTurkey appears willing to see if progress can be made. Supporting northern Cyprus is expensive and President Erdogan has more room to manoeuvre than his predecessors.\n\nA lot of progress has been made already in talks that have been going on for 19 months. But the sticking points that remain are significant.\n\nAnd then there is the really hard question - what kind of a deal would be acceptable to the peoples of Cyprus?\n\nAny agreement hammered out in Geneva would not just have to be acceptable to both sides' negotiators and the governments of Greece and Turkey. It would also have to backed by the people in both north and south Cyprus in two referendums later this year. The last time there was a putative deal in 2004 it was overwhelmingly rejected by Greek Cypriots.\n\nSo there are hurdles ahead and no guarantees of success. But some diplomats are expectant. \"I don't imagine we could be in a better place,\" said one. \"But everything is very fluid and nothing will be easy.\"\n\nEven the chance of a deal is quickening pulses in UK government circles. Good news is scarce on the international stage at the moment, and a settlement in Cyprus would be a small beacon of hope.\n\nIt would be reaffirmation that talking and co-operating can produce results at a time when many countries seem to prefer using force.\n\nIt would allow Mrs May to show the world that - despite Brexit - Britain is still engaged in the world. And above all it would solve a problem that has bedevilled Greek-Turkish relations for so long and given headaches to both the EU and Nato\n\nThat is the prize up for grabs over the negotiating tables in Geneva next week.", "Theresa May has set out her vision for a \"shared society\" in which the state has a role in helping people who are struggling to get by. It marks the latest attempt by a Conservative leader to spell out what society should, or should not, be.\n\nMargaret Thatcher's remark about society was one of her most famous\n\nIn a 1987 interview with Woman's Own magazine, Margaret Thatcher said there was \"no such thing as society\", and that line went on to become one of her most famous.\n\nIt has been much debated over the years, with critics seeing it as evidence of a heartless approach where needy individuals are left to fend for themselves.\n\nBut Thatcher's supporters complain the quote is taken out of context, and in her memoirs the former PM said it had been \"distorted beyond recognition\".\n\nMore recently, polling has found that while a strong majority of people disagreed with the \"no such thing\" line in isolation, most agreed with the longer version.\n\nHere it is: \"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it... They're casting their problem on society.\n\n\"And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families, and no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.\n\n\"It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.\"\n\nThatcher's successor, John Major, entered Downing Street in 1990 promising to create a \"classless society\", which he described as a \"a tapestry of talents in which everyone from child to adult respects achievement\".\n\nHe was still talking about it in his party conference speech the following year: \"I spoke of a classless society. I don't shrink from that phrase.\n\n\"I don't mean a society in which everyone is the same, or thinks the same, or earns the same. But a tapestry of talents in which everyone from child to adult respects achievement; where every promotion, every certificate is respected; and each person's contribution is valued. And where the greatest respect is reserved for the law.\"\n\nNext up was William Hague, who called for a \"responsible society\", and said Thatcher's famous line had been wilfully misinterpreted and used against the Conservatives.\n\n\"A strong society rests on responsible individuals and families.

But drone pilots commute to work - and to war - each day. Vin Ray was given rare access to the only US Air Force base devoted entirely to flying drones, where he discovered the pilots' strange double life.\n\nIf you're a drone pilot, there's a strong possibility you live in Las Vegas. And your commute to work is against the traffic.\n\nWe were told to drive northwest out of the city on US Route 95. The road stretches out through the barren, inhospitable scrub of the Nevada desert.\n\nPay attention, we were told, because the signpost is small. In fact, it's very small. But we eventually arrived at our destination: Creech US Air Force Base, a small, flat, city in the desert. And the only air base devoted to flying drones.\n\nInside the base, comparisons with science fiction are hard to avoid. A drone looks like a conflation of a giant insect and a light aircraft. It's unmanned.\n\nStanding by a runway, we watch a drone land and pass right in front of us.\n\nThe camera underneath its chin, swivels quickly sideways and looks right at us - someone, somewhere on the base, is watching us.\n\nI'm escorted through a non-descript door in the side of what looks like a beige metal shipping container. It's cramped inside. At the far end there's a pilot seated on the left, who flies the drone and fires the missiles.\n\nThe sensor operator sits on the right - they operate the camera and fix the laser on the target for the missile to hit. They're focused on a bank of screens, switches and buttons. This is today's kind of cockpit. But it doesn't feel like a battleground.\n\nFor a start, there's a sensory deficiency. From my experience on the ground, you can taste war - you can smell it and you can certainly hear it. In here there's a just a mute video.\n\nBut that's not the only difference.\n\nTraditionally, soldiers in a war zone are based together. They have each others' camaraderie, and they're separated from their families.\n\nBut it's not the same if you're commuting to work every day.\n\nObviously, the drive itself is simple. But the psychological journey is altogether different. Imagine. Between six in the evening and six in the morning you might collect your kids from school, pick up some groceries on the way home and help make dinner.\n\nBut between 6am and 6pm you have a licence to kill.\n\nThis commute is familiar to Lt Col Matt Martin. He's a hugely experienced former drone pilot. He exudes a quiet strength and a ready charm.\n\nBut he talks about his schizophrenic existence, his inability to have a normal life and the strain it took on his family.\n\n\"It's a surreal enterprise,\" he says. \"You only have the drive to work and then you're flying. So for me, I would take that drive to switch gears. I would step into my cockpit and be totally immersed in flying the drone. Then a few hours later I would step out and be back in Las Vegas, in a totally different time zone, different time of day.\"\n\nHere's what the base commander Col Case Cunningham told me: \"When they walk through the gate, they're in a war. Although physically they are at home, mentally they're at war. So in effect we're asking them to redeploy every single day, to go back home and be parents and be loved ones - and then come back to war again\".\n\nSuch are the new frontiers of the modern battlefield.\n\nThese drone pilots can sit in Nevada and watch a potential target 8,000 miles (12,000km) away for months on end, building up what they call \"patterns of life\" - building what's been called a \"remote intimacy\" with their prey - all in the knowledge that, one day, they may kill them.\n\nA conventional fighter pilot will fire missiles and then head back to base. But drone pilots are required to circle for some hours afterwards, to assess the damage. The picture they're looking at is extraordinarily clear - and the damage is often in the form of body parts.\n\nSmall wonder that Creech now employs a psychologist for drone pilots suffering stress. Drones are globalising the battlefield, blurring the boundaries between war and home.\n\nAs we get ready to leave the base, the moon rises over the mountains and darkness falls quickly. There's a long traffic jam as some of the 3,500 air staff wait at the gates to leave the base - a snake of red tail lights heading back to Vegas and the warmth of their families.\n\nAnd when they get home? Well, friction can stem from one simple question: \"How was your day?\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "A practice in India that allows Muslim men to divorce their wives in an instant is facing fierce opposition.\n\n\"Triple talaq\" - divorcing by saying the word talaq three times - is legal for Muslims in India but controversial.

Dream their dreams, you might say.\n\nThey have followed the golden rule: do not give too much away, because it will make life more difficult when the inauguration is over and the business of power begins.\n\nThe Trump Twitter account is not just a break with that pattern, but a challenge to the very idea.\n\nHis New Year tweet (one of them, I should say) wished love to everyone \"including my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do\".\n\nMr Trump wished love to everyone via Twitter at the turn of the year\n\nThe implication, of course, is that he does know what he is going to do. The trouble with his Twitter account is that it makes you wonder.\n\nMore than 34,000 tweets to nearly 19 million followers (many \"enemies\" among them, no doubt) and a narrative that has become a kind of stream of consciousness. They read like the unfiltered, disconnected thoughts of someone for whom patience is an ugly word.\n\nYou always have to say something, even if you say the opposite the next day. On Twitter, who cares?\n\nYet, the messages are powerful. One contemptuous tweet about the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives winding down the Office of Congressional Ethics led them to beat a humiliating retreat and cancel the plan.\n\nMr Trump's choice as White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said the other day: \"Whatever he tweets, he is going to drive the news.\"\n\nAnd, bizarre though it may seem, the South Korean government is poring over them. The JoongAng Daily reported that a Twitter-watching position had been set up in the foreign ministry in Seoul \"because we don't yet have an insight into his foreign policies\".\n\nWhat insight will they get from tweets which have criticised the Central Intelligence Agency, praised Julian Assange - the Whistleblower of WikiLeaks and a bete noire to most Republicans - and praised President Putin, who gets more friendly treatment than all Democrats and some Republicans at home?\n\nAnd remarkably the tweets take aim at the entire intelligence community in Washington. What precisely are the South Koreans meant to make of that?\n\nNot too much, you may think, because who can tell how this mercurial candidate is going to be moulded into a president? We still do not know and what his Twitter account tells us - colourfully, astonishingly, sometimes hilariously - is that he is refusing to let us know.\n\nFar from revealing what a Trump presidency is going to be like - as he says his tweets do - they have the effect of enveloping him in a thick fog.\n\nYes we know he will \"make America great again\", cut immigration, build his wall, cut taxes, be Israel's greatest ally and so on. But how he is going to build a White House team on foreign affairs and security, conduct relations with Capitol Hill, deal with allies in Nato and the rolling chaos in the Middle East, we have very little idea.\n\nAnd when the first crisis arrives - as it will before long - will he be able to find the calm that he needs?\n\nWhere it all began: Trump's Twitter page in April 2009\n\nNo president-elect in modern times has said so much and revealed so little.\n\nWe know how Mr Trump feels about almost everything, but about priorities, his approach to the compromises of power, the way he will deal with the bureaucracy - in practice we know very little.\n\nA week or two before election day in November, one of his close associates told me that, if he won, Mr Trump had agreed that in office he would relinquish control of that Twitter account, because it would be inappropriate in the White House.\n\nThe satirists' loss, certainly. But, if it happens, a step into reality, at last.\n\nSome day he has to stop being the candidate and playing that game, even though he enjoys it so much.\n\nSo the first great test for the Trump White House team is surely getting his finger off that keyboard.", "The claim: Tuesday 27 December was the busiest day in the history of the National Health Service.\n\nReality Check verdict: In relation to attendance at type-one accident and emergency departments (the general A&E departments at big hospitals), Mr Hunt is correct. That's a reasonable measure of how busy the NHS is, but other measures suggest different days were busier.\n\nSecretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt made the claim on BBC Radio 4's Today programme as he thanked staff for their work over Christmas.\n\nNHS England publishes daily statistics during the winter for several metrics to do with NHS services, so we can look into whether it is the case.\n\nWe can assume he was talking about the NHS in England only, because health is devolved, so he is not in charge of the NHS in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.\n\nThe number of people attending accident and emergency departments is an important indicator of demand for hospital services.\n\nOn 27 December, there were 60,215 attendances at A&E departments.\n\nThat is a high level, but it's not the highest for the month, which was set at 60,692 on 5 December.\n\nBut it turns out that Mr Hunt was talking about only type-one A&E departments, which is what most people would think of as an A&E department.\n\nType-two are specialist units, such as Moorfields Eye Unit, while type-three are GP-led walk-in centres.\n\nThere were 46,315 attendances at type-one A&E departments, which is the highest of the month. Comparisons with previous years are difficult due to changes in coverage and figures not being broken down in the same way.\n\nAnother important measure is the number of emergency admissions, which was 13,715 on 27 December.\n\nThat is a high figure, but the number was higher on each of the following three days - it was 14,649 on 28 December.\n\nLooking at the proportion of beds occupied: on 27 December, 90.5% of the total number of available beds were occupied.\n\nThat's actually quite low by the standards of last month - there were higher figures on 24 days in December.\n\nNHS England says that the week ending 1 January 2017 was the busiest week for the NHS 111 24-hour non-emergency service since it began in August 2010, but we do not get that figure broken down by day so cannot say whether the Tuesday was the busiest day.\n\nWe also do not have daily figures for how busy other parts of the NHS were, such as GPs.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Actress Meryl Streep strongly criticised US President-elect Donald Trump as she received a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes.\n\nWhile Streep did not name Mr Trump, the three-time Oscar-winning actress used almost the entire speech to say his actions legitimised bullying.\n\nThe president-elect, who is due to be inaugurated in less than two weeks, dismissed the actress as \"a Hillary lover\" in a telephone interview with the New York Times.", "The Sun newspaper on Monday carries the headline \"Kill by mouth: Two die in NHS each day of thirst or starvation\".\n\nA shocking claim, based on figures from the Office of National Statistics.\n\nThe data for England and Wales shows that in 2015, hunger and/or dehydration were a factor in 828 patient deaths in hospitals and care homes.\n\nBut that doesn't mean all of these patients starved to death or died of thirst, experts at the ONS were quick to point out when I spoke with them about it.\n\nMalnutrition may be recorded on the death certificate as a factor contributing directly to a death when it was a complication of a different underlying cause, such as cancer of the stomach, for example.\n\nIf you are very sick, it might not be feasible or desirable to eat and drink. Having a disease such as advanced cancer can cause malnutrition.\n\nThat's not to say that patients who are terminally ill should have fluid and nutrients withheld. On the contrary, guidelines make it clear that even if a patient can't eat or drink they should still be provided for.\n\nThey were drawn up after reports revealed some patients at the end of life were being denied this basic right when they were put on a care protocol called the Liverpool Care Pathway.\n\nThe LCP was scrapped in 2015 after relatives complained that their loved ones had been put on it without their knowledge and denied fluids, which hastened their deaths.\n\nAnother dark period in history for the NHS was the Stafford Hospital Scandal, where hundreds of patients died amid appalling levels of care between 2005 and 2009.\n\nAn inquiry identified terrible and unnecessary suffering, including examples where patients had been provided with food and drink, but it had been left out of their reach.\n\nJoan Morris suffered a heart attack and died four weeks after being admitted to Stafford General Hospital\n\nJoan Morris, 83, was admitted to Stafford Hospital in December 2006 with a chest infection.\n\nHer family said that food and water had been left on a table instead of being given to her.\n\nAnother patient, Tom Wilhelms, resorted to drinking from a vase.\n\nIn response to the Francis Inquiry into the failings at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the government published new hospital standards including around nutritional and hydration care.\n\nAnd it asked the Care Quality Commission to make sure that the hospitals and care homes it inspected were following these standards.\n\nThe CQC's first dedicated review was in 2012.\n\nIt inspected 500 care homes and 50 hospitals in England and found 83% of care homes and 88% of hospitals it inspected met people's nutritional needs, which means patients were provided a suitable choice of food and drink and given help to eat and drink when they needed it.\n\nIt says this shows things have improved.\n\nProf Sir Mike Richards, CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said: \"We expect the food provided to be nutritious, to meet people's dietary requirements, and for this to be included as part of patients care planning while in hospital, and we look closely at this on our inspections. Where we find this is not happening or identify concerns that people's nutritional needs are not being met we take action and have a range of enforcement powers at our disposal where required.\"\n\nAge UK agrees that there's been progress, but says malnutrition in the NHS is still a big issue.\n\nLesley Carter, who works of the charity and is programme manager of the Malnutrition Task Force, says a third of people going into hospitals and care homes are already malnourished or at risk of malnutrition when they are admitted.\n\n\"That means they are already vulnerable to start with.\"\n\nShe said that on busy wards, mealtimes might get rushed or overlooked without the right staffing.\n\n\"Older people in particular might need help to eat and drink, and they aren't always getting this. Food can still be left out of reach.\n\n\"Some hospitals have employed nutrition nurses to spot those patients that need help, and nutrition assistants to help with the feeding, which is good.\n\n\"But it is time consuming to feed someone properly.\"\n\nShe says friends and families have a responsibility to keep a check on elderly loved ones too.\n\n\"We all need to realise that it's not natural to lose weight as we age.\"\n\nAlthough elderly people should be encouraged to eat a healthy diet, she says this can backfire.\n\nA salad might be worse than cake in terms of nutrition for someone who is old and frail and has a poor appetite, for example.\n\n\"Some residents in care homes are being given low fat yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk when instead they should get full fat milk.\"", "The giant sequoia, which was carved into a living tunnel over a century ago, has fallen\n\nStorms in California have toppled one of America's most famous trees - the Pioneer Cabin Tree.\n\nThe giant sequoia was known for having a hole cut through its trunk - big enough for a car to drive through.\n\nThe tree, estimated to be more than 1,000-years-old, was felled by the strongest storm to have hit the area in more than a decade.\n\nCalifornia and Nevada have been hit by unusually high rainfall levels, leading to flooding and falling trees.\n\nThe Calaveras Big Trees Association first reported that the drive-through Pioneer Cabin Tree - carved 137 years ago - was no more.\n\nThe storm was \"just too much for it\", the group wrote in a Facebook post that has drawn nearly 2,000 comments.\n\n\"Many memories were created under this tree,\" one read. \"They will remain good memories.\"\n\nOthers pointed out that the tree might have survived for longer if a tunnel had not been carved into it.\n\n\"You can't cut a hole in a tree like this and expect it to live,\" said one comment.\n\n\"This hole always bothered me so much.

I always felt that because I was different if a woman approached me it was so she could tick it off her bucket list.\n\nIt was at this point, having never had a girlfriend, I decided to contact Channel 4's The Undateables - a reality show which tries to match disabled people with a partner - and so face my fear of dating with the hope of potentially finding somebody.\n\nIt was a drastic thing to do but I thought if I could successfully go on a date on a television show I wouldn't have any confidence problems in the future.\n\nFacing my fears worked and I now feel able to approach a woman and have a conversation with her because I have learned there isn't anything to be afraid of. If the girl doesn't like me fair enough, but some open-minded people will like me.\n\nI had been competing internationally in shot put and javelin and hoped to compete in the Paralympic Games in Rio last year but injury forced me to take time out.\n\nParticipating in The Undateables helped me to focus on a different aspect of life and took my mind off the injury although I've now returned to training with my sights set on the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo as well as taking a degree in law.\n\nThis process has further boosted my confidence and I've realised that being short isn't a barrier it's a feature. All this time I shouldn't have thought of myself as less of a person.\n\nBeing me is the best thing I can do better than anyone else.\n\nThe Undateables transmits on Monday nights at 21:00 GMT on Channel 4 and is also available on All 4.\n\nFor more Disability News, follow on Twitter and Facebook, and subscribe to the weekly podcast.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp defended selecting the youngest starting XI in the club's history for the 0-0 FA Cup draw against Plymouth.\n\nThe Reds - with an average age of of 21 years and 296 days - went close through Sheyi Ojo and Daniel Sturridge but the League Two side held out at Anfield.\n\nYippee.

We received 1,200 submissions in 24 hours,\" said Ms Rothman, citing contributions from Iran, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa, among others.\n\nThe site's mission statement is to \"increase the visibility of female illustrators, female illustrators of colour, LBTQ+, and other minority groups\".\n\nOn Monday, it is relaunching, backed by a new server and showcasing 700 new members, whose work organisers have collated within three weeks.\n\nThey also have more than 300 artists on the waiting list.\n\nMs MacNaughton and Ms Rothman, who are both successful illustrators, said they were motivated to create the project after noticing certain publications were dominated by male artists.\n\n\"We counted a certain magazine that often has illustrated covers, and noticed that in the past 55 covers, only four were by women,\" said Ms Rothman.\n\nSomething seemed to be amiss, considering that the arts field within education is often dominated by women.\n\nIn the UK, data from higher-education admissions service Ucas shows that in 2016 the number of women enrolled in design studies courses (including illustration) was more than double the number of men.\n\nSo, do the women behind Women Who Draw think sexism in the industry is an enduring problem?\n\n\"When I see who wins the awards, who are on the juries and who speaks at conferences, it is clear that there is a bias.

The representation of white women has remained fairly steady at an average of 32%, as has the representation of men and women of colour, whose seven-year averages are 8% and 4%, respectively.\"\n\nShe also found that while men were drawn as nude or nearly nude 3% of the time, that figure rose to 30% for female figures.\n\n\"The only dead bodies depicted during the timeframe of my analysis are those that belong to men of colour,\" she added.\n\nThe site allows artists to highlight different aspects of their identity.

One was themed on female sexuality.\n\nHe also finds the categorisation of artists based on location useful, as part of his job involves showcasing Canadian talent.\n\n\"The biggest challenge to Women Who Draw as they to continue to add to their roster will be how to balance inclusivity with the quality of the work that I currently find there,\" he said.\n\nHowever, some of the features he is less convinced about. \"It seems a bit odd, for example, to see 'atheist' pop up so frequently as a primary defining quality of some of the illustrators.\"\n\n\"I don't think it is about tokenism,\" adds Lizzy Stewart, an artist from London, who has joined the site. \"I think work will still be commissioned based on talent, after all no-one wants to pay for bad work.

The hiss of vending cart coffee machines. The thumping bass and discord of various sound systems vying for attention. The amplified echo of a hundred demonstrations. The ringtones and message alerts from thousands of mobile phones.\n\nAnd also - this being a tech fair - the whizzes and ticks and buzzes and bings of robots and drones.\n\nRobots make quite a racket - just what you'd expect at a football match\n\nAfter hours of stalking the vast halls of CES besieged by visuals, I decided to try and find beguiling sounds instead.\n\nThings did not get off to a good start.\n\nThe first robot I encountered - a service machine designed to guide people around museums - responded to my greeting by asking me whether I was \"fickle after kissing\".\n\nIts mortified owner told me it was confused. It wasn't the only one.\n\nNext, I asked one of the show guides where I could find some interesting noises, and was promptly escorted to a section of the show floor dedicated to in-car speakers.\n\nI had to explain that as much as I admire Lady Gaga, the strains of her hit Bad Romance blasting out of the back of a Jeep rammed floor-to-ceiling with sub woofers wasn't what I had in mind either.\n\nIt was in a start-up zone called Eureka Park that I struck audio gold.\n\nSome gadgets, like the cuddly Talkies, can't wait to speak up\n\nI was drawn in by the sound of crickets - very incongruous in a giant exhibition hall with no natural light, let alone greenery.

Yet, for two keen sailors, opening an account together was the most efficient way to organise the costs of running their boat.\n\nFees for maintenance, mooring, and fuel all needed to be paid, so the yacht-owning duo stepped into their local bank branch on the south coast of England and signed up.\n\nThe manager that day was Eric Leenders, now the managing director of retail banking at the British Bankers' Association.\n\n\"Typically joint accounts are used by couples for pooled income and expenditure, the trigger is often when they move in together and start paying the bills,\" he says.\n\n\"But, on occasions, they are used to share funding for a particular project.\"\n\nIt is the mundane reality of keeping heads above water financially - rather than keeping a vessel shipshape - that prompts most people to open a joint bank account.\n\nAny couple or group of people can open an account together, generally a regular current account with some added terms and conditions. Yet, experts stress there are benefits and pitfalls to sharing a bank account with anyone - even within an intimate relationship.\n\nToday, couples are living together and marrying later in life. Having increasingly led independent financial lives, the relevance of joint accounts may be questioned.\n\nWhile the vast majority of banks and building societies offer them, they do not collect and share any data so we can only speculate that the popularity of these accounts is fading.\n\nFiona Cullinan, a 48-year-old digital editor, says she never had a joint bank account, even during more than two years of marriage - until last month.\n\n\"This is probably a legacy of not wanting to argue about money and also being independent, as once bills and standing orders are set up, it is hard to shift everything over - or so I thought,\" she says.\n\n\"In September I lost one of my jobs and so a joint account started to make more sense to help with cash flow. It was really simple and took about 30 minutes at the bank to set up.\n\n\"Now that everything doesn't go out from my account, it is a lot less stressful. A secondary bonus is that the burden feels more shared as my husband is now more involved in household finances - he set up a household budget spreadsheet to check things are on track each month. I now feel we are more of a team.\"\n\nApplying for a joint account is much the same as opening a current account individually. Applicants often tick a box to make the account a joint version, then fill in their individual section of the form and provide the normal proof of address and identity.\n\nMany banks allow customers to add a second name to an existing account, following the normal checks.\n\nConvenience is generally the main benefit, with the account used to pay household bills, although wages are often still paid into an individual's own current account.\n\n\"Two people with two accounts often become two people with three accounts,\" says Eric Leenders, of the BBA.\n\nThere is no limit on the number of people who can sign up, but primarily they are used by couples who are married, in civil partnerships or who live together, or by friends who share a home. Banks says that couples separated by work postings are also among those who are keen.\n\nMr Leenders says that reward or packaged current accounts can lend themselves to joint opening owing to household benefits, such as insurance, that may be included. He stressed that anyone signing up should read the terms and conditions to check the extent of this cover.\n\nThe Money Advice Service, a government-funded, independent organisation, points out there are limitations for anyone who needs longer term access to someone else's finances.\n\n\"If, for example, you have an elderly relative who is having trouble keeping on top of their money - a joint account is not your best bet,\" it says.\n\nCouples' finances have been used in comedy turns such as the Joint Account TV series\n\nThe key decision when setting up the account is whether one individual can withdraw money, sign cheques and make payments or whether both, or all, need to sign.\n\nThis is made official under what is known as the mandate. This should also cover the rules over who must give permission for changes in the terms of the account or close it.\n\nWhatever the decision, all parties usually get a payment card and a cheque book, if it is available with the account.\n\nDigitally, each person will have their own log-in details, with their own password, so this needs to be set up individually. In reality, this means each remembering another password, although mobile banking now uses encrypted password saving and fingerprint logins.\n\nJoint accounts allow people to share the rewards and convenience, but they also share the risk.\n\nOpening a joint account means a couple will be co-scored by credit reference agencies, so if one has a poor credit history it can affect the other.\n\nGetting out of debt also falls to both, or all, of those signed up - as a group and individually. Typically, each account holder is responsible for paying back all the money owed, so one could become liable for repaying the other person's debt.\n\nA bank might take money from that person's sole account to cover the overdraft in the joint account - but only if both accounts are with the same bank.\n\n\"Banks are not in the business of making good customers bad customers,\" says Mr Leenders, pointing out that banks' lending code requires them to treat customers sympathetically.\n\nHe stresses that people should inform their bank about a relationship breakdown, or any sign of transactions that have not been agreed, to freeze the account - otherwise it can be difficult to retrieve this money.\n\nCases that have gone to the financial ombudsman include:\n\nAt its worst, extravagant spending by one partner from the joint account, or sole control of a joint account can be a sign of financial abuse.\n\nSpending jointly earned money, taking out loans in a partner's name, demanding payment for utility bills from their own savings, or scrutinising every penny that a partner spends are all signs of such bullying, charities and the TUC say.\n\nWorse, it can be the forerunner of even more serious emotional, or physical, abuse.\n\nWomen are often the victims, but men - particularly those with disabilities - can also be vulnerable.\n\nUnder the Serious Crime Act - implemented in 2015 - coercive and controlling behaviour between partners, which could include financial abuse, became illegal for the first time.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "As a young child in the capital of North Korea, Sungju Lee lived a pampered life. But by the time he was a teenager, he was starving and fighting for survival in a street gang. It was one of many twists of fate on a journey that has led him to postgraduate studies at a British university.\n\nIn the early 1990s, Sungju Lee was living comfortably with his parents in a three-bedroom apartment in Pyongyang. He attended school and Taekwondo classes, visited parks and rode on Ferris wheels. He assumed that, like his father, he would grow up to become an officer in the North Korean army.\n\nBut in 1994, this life came to an abrupt end with the death of North Korea's founding father, Kim Il-Sung.\n\nAlthough Sungju did not know it at the time, his own father, who had been working as a bodyguard, had fallen out of favour with the new regime. The family was forced to flee the capital. To hide from their child the danger they were in, his parents told him they were taking a holiday.\n\nSungju wanted to believe his father, but when he boarded a dirty, damaged train he had doubts.\n\n\"I saw beggars - kids my age - and I was shocked,\" he says.\n\n\"I asked my father, 'Are we in North Korea?' Because when I was in Pyongyang, I was taught that North Korea was one of the richest countries in the world.\"\n\nTheir destination was the north-western town of Gyeong-seong, where they moved into a tiny, unheated house. At school Sungju found the other students malnourished and behind in their classes.\n\nOne morning his teachers marched the children to an outside arena where they were told to sit and watch. Three police officers with guns appeared and a man and woman were led out and tied to wooden poles. The crowd was told the man had been caught stealing and the woman had tried to escape into China. They had both been convicted of high treason, and this was a public execution.\n\n\"Each of the police officers shot three bullets for each person. Bang, bang, bang,\" Sungju says.\n\n\"Blood came out. There was a hole in their forehead, and at the back of their head there was nothing left.\"\n\nAs the months passed, Sungju struggled to adapt to his new harsh circumstances. Food was becoming more scarce as North Korea descended into a crippling famine and many of his classmates had dropped out of school to forage for squirrels or to steal from the local market.\n\nThen suddenly Sungju's father announced he was leaving. He told his son he was going to China to look for food, and would come back in a week with rice cakes.\n\nThe week passed, but Sungju's father did not return.\n\nSoon afterwards, his mother told him she was going to travel to his aunt's house to find food. Fearing she would also not return, Sungju refused to leave her side. But eventually he fell asleep and she slipped away, leaving a note telling him to eat salt with water if he was hungry. He never saw her again.\n\n\"I started hating my parents,\" he says.\n\n\"They were so irresponsible. They just left me and I completely lost everything.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Sungju Lee fought other children and stole food to survive the streets of North Korea\n\nAt that point Sungju realised the only way he would survive was to form a street gang. He banded together with six other boys and they studied how to pick pockets and distract merchants so they could grab produce from their market stalls.\n\n\"We trusted each other. We could die for each other and we were all bound to each other and that's how we survived,\" he says.\n\nEvery few months, when the merchants began to recognise them, the gang had to move to another town. Finding new territory also meant fighting the gang that was already working there.\n\n\"I was picked as a leader by my brothers because I knew how to do Taekwando,\" says Sungju.\n\n\"They thought I was really good at fighting, but it was different from street fighting. I lost many times, but my brothers believed in me. Their trust made me stronger,\" he says.\n\nAlthough, as time went on, Sungju began to win his fights the boys in his gang were still only young teenagers. When they came up against older teens armed with weapons, the fights became more dangerous.\n\nIn one such encounter, one of his gang members was hit on the head and died. Then Sungju's closest friend was killed by a farm guard for trying to steal a potato.\n\nSungju was devastated. After more than three years fighting on the streets, the gang began to drift apart and Sungju turned to opium for solace. With few options left open to them, the boys decided to return to Gyeong-seong.\n\nIt was there that Sungju was approached by an elderly man, whom he recognised as his grandfather. After Sungju's family had left Pyongyang, his grandparents had never given up searching for them and had eventually moved to a farm a few hours' walk from Gyeong-seong. Every Sunday the old man would travel into the town in the hope of finding his grandson.\n\nNow rescued from the streets, Sungju spent a few happy months living on his grandparents' farm. Once a week he walked to the market, carrying with him a backpack of food to share with his gang members, who had now found jobs helping the merchants.\n\nThen a stranger arrived with an important message.\n\n\"The messenger passed me a letter that said: 'Son, I'm living in China. Come to China to visit me,'\" Sungju says.\n\nThe stranger was a broker - a person who helped North Koreans escape from the country. He had arrived to smuggle Sungju over the border.\n\n\"I had two emotions in my heart,\" says Sungju.\n\n\"The first one was anger, I just wanted to punch my father. And the second emotion was that I missed him so much. I told my grandparents that I wanted to go to China to see my father and to punch him and then to come back,\" he says.\n\nWith the broker's help, Sungju crossed into China by foot and then, after he was given fake documents, he boarded a plane to South Korea. It was here that he was finally reunited with his father.\n\n\"My father hugged me and we cried together,\" he says.\n\n\"I had tons of questions, but I just said, 'I've missed you dad.' He said, 'Where is your mother?' and I cried again because I didn't know.\"\n\nDespite years of searching, Sungju and his father still do not know where his mother is. In 2009, a broker told them about a woman living in China who was similar to her in appearance and background. It turned out not to be Sungju's mother, but his father helped her leave China anyway.\n\nSungju has also lost touch with the other boys in his gang, despite paying brokers to find them. He suspects they have been drafted into the North Korean army.\n\nFor a while, Sungju struggled with his identity in South Korea. When he first arrived he felt isolated. His accent marked him out as someone from the North, and many South Koreans believe North Koreans are brainwashed, he says.\n\n\"South Koreans keep saying that North Koreans are their brothers and sisters, but many times they treated me as a foreigner. Sometimes worse than that,\" he says.\n\nHe also struggled with the concept of freedom, saying he was told constantly that he now had it, but he wasn't sure what it meant. It was only when he was standing in a shop deciding what brand of pen to buy that he understood.\n\n\"I tried every pen, it took two hours,\" he said. \"I suddenly thought that this must be freedom, because I can choose a pen that I like.\"\n\nSungju says he came to terms with his new life by defining himself as someone from the Korean peninsula. Since then, he has decided to devote his life to the reunification of both Koreas, which he believes could happen within a generation.\n\n\"Those born after the 1990s don't have any respect for the government,\" he says. \"They only care about their private lives.\"\n\nHe believes that the markets where he once stole food are where change will begin, as North Koreans will realise they can make money from buying and selling goods without government control.\n\n\"In time, these people will become the core power of North Korea. The country will not collapse but one day the government will evolve, based on the market,\" he says.\n\nSungju's studies have taken him out of South Korea to the US and the UK. He now hopes to complete a PhD on Korean reunification.\n\nInitially he was reluctant to speak out about his own painful journey from privilege to poverty, and finally escape.\n\nBut over time he came to realise that by telling his story he could overcome his own personal trauma and give others insight into the struggles that many North Korean children face.\n\nHe has now turned his story into a book for young adults, Every Falling Star, which was released in September.\n\n\"I have had so much encouragement and thanks from my readers,\" he says.\n\nHis dearest dream is to one day return to the North Korea of his childhood. To see the Ferris wheels and parks of Pyongyang, but also to find the friends who helped him through the darkest time of his life.\n\n\"I dream of my brothers,\" he says.\n\n\"Sometimes we're swimming in a river and catching fish, laughing and wrestling together.\n\n\"Going home means seeing the people I love.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "The swim team at US university Georgia Tech couldn't make it to their event, so they did the relay in the snow outside their hotel.", "As the 70th anniversary of the Black Dahlia murder approaches the public fascination with Elizabeth Short and her grisly unsolved death hasn't dimmed. James Bartlett takes a look at how Los Angeles remembers the famous murder.\n\nFew people noticed the dark-haired woman when she was dropped off at the swanky Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, but when her torso was found nearly a week later, Elizabeth Short became a household name.\n\nOn the morning of 15 January 1947, Betty Bersinger was walking with her young daughter along a barely developed street in the planned neighbourhood of Leimert Park when she saw what she thought was two halves of a tailor's mannequin.\n\nShort had been cut in two, neatly at the waist, and drained of blood. She had been mutilated, her intestines removed, and her mouth slashed from ear to ear - a gruesome cut known as a Glasgow Smile. Her body had then been washed clean before being dumped in an empty field.\n\nAn ensuing media frenzy followed, thanks to the \"brutal, misogynistic and ritual nature\" of the killing, says Glynn Martin, former Los Angeles police sergeant and historian. More than 50 suspects were interviewed, both male and female - some of whom confessed to the crime. But the murder was never solved, only adding to the crime's mystique.\n\nThere was also the connection to the glamour of the area.\n\n\"She lived in Hollywood, had aspirations to be an actress,\" Martin says.\n\nThe murder became \"a sad cliche - the ultimate warning tale\".\n\n\"A starry-eyed young girl comes to Hollywood, and things go very bad for her,\" he says.\n\nThen, of course, there was the memorable nickname, a twist on the previous year's Veronica Lake-Alan Ladd film The Blue Dahlia, and reference to Short's striking dark hair.\n\nIn the decades since, the Black Dahlia case has inspired university theses, art projects and the name of a death metal band, as well as references in video games and television shows. In 2006, it even got the major motion picture treatment, an adaptation of James Ellroy's best-selling novel inspired by the case.\n\nEllroy himself says he doesn't have any hope the culprit will be found.\n\n\"It's never going to be solved because it was not meant to be solved,\" he says.\n\nKim Cooper and her husband Richard Schave run Esotouric's literary, crime and culture bus tours of Los Angeles, and Cooper says that many people who come on their Black Dahlia tour \"have their heads full of misinformation\".\n\n\"While we debunk the many theories about possible killers, we try to focus on the story of Elizabeth Short as a person.\"\n\nBut even the tour operators can be surprised, like when an older man joined one of their true crime tours, claiming a connection to the Black Dahlia.\n\n\"He told us that he had been a paper boy at the time, and had rushed to be one of the first at the crime scene. It was the first naked woman he ever saw,\" Cooper says.\n\n\"I think it affected the rest of his life.\"\n\nLike the 19th Century killings by Jack the Ripper in London, Short's murder continues to bring forth new theories.\n\nMost recently, Steve Hodel, a former homicide detective, claimed his physician father George was the killer, and also responsible for other notable murders.\n\nA cadaver dog searched Hodel's former home in 2013 and seemingly \"alerted\" for human remains - though, of course, Short's body had long been found.\n\nDuring my research for Gourmet Ghosts, a series of true crime books, I found that many talkative Los Angeles bartenders claim their joint was actually the last place Short was seen alive, not the Biltmore.\n\nSome theorised her murder was the result of a date turned violent, or that the perennially-broke Short left to hitchhike home, a common practice at the time, and got into the wrong car.\n\n\"I was regularly asked about the Black Dahlia on the reference desk,\" says Christina Rice, senior librarian of the photo collection at the Los Angeles Public Library. One woman came in looking for maps from 1947 because \"she was going to use her psychic abilities to solve the murder\".\n\nThe only copy of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner's microfiche for the second half of January was stolen years ago, Rice says, adding Short was just one of many women brutally killed in the post-war years in California.\n\nThe Biltmore, where you can buy a Black Dahlia cocktail\n\nAs soon as the corpse was discovered, the Los Angeles Herald-Express and the sensationalist Los Angeles Examiner made full use of the cosy relationship that all newspapers had with the Los Angeles police department.\n\nAt the time it was common to see suicide notes and bloodstained bodies - albeit sometimes airbrushed or altered, like Short's naked body, onto which photo editors superimposed a blanket - on the front page. Suicide photographs even added arrows showing how victims had taken their final fall.\n\nThe Examiner also added complete fabrications to the Black Dahlia story, exchanging in their reporting the suit Short had been seen wearing for a tight skirt and blouse and implying sexual misadventures.\n\nThe newspaper also deceived Short's mother about her daughter's death, using a ruse about \"Beth\" winning a beauty contest, then flying her to Los Angeles before telling her the real news - ensuring the scoop of a mother responding to the tragedy.\n\nOfficially the case remains open, and today, the Biltmore Hotel serves a Black Dahlia cocktail of vodka, Chambord black raspberry liqueur and Kahlua. The drink, perhaps appropriately, tastes bitter.\n\nJames Bartlett is a writer and author of Gourmet Ghosts.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nMike Dean remains one of the Premier League's best referees despite an \"indifferent\" festive period, says former official Mark Halsey.\n\nDean has received criticism for some of his recent performances and the number of red cards he has shown - five in 15 matches this season.\n\nEx-Premier League referee Halsey thinks Dean can come across as \"arrogant\".\n\nHe also believes only a handful of referees are \"trusted\" for the league's most important games.\n\nDean, who has been a Premier League referee for 16 years, controversially sent off West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli during the Hammers' defeat by Manchester United on 2 January, while the red card was later rescinded by the Football Association.\n\nThat dismissal was the official's 26th since the start of the 2013-14 season - the highest number by any current Premier League referee in that period.\n\n\"If you look back over the December period, he has had an indifferent period,\" Halsey, 55, told BBC Radio 5 live.\n\n\"I have disagreed with some of his decision-making, especially the sendings-off.\n\n\"It is not an easy job to do. He is one of the most experienced and is a very good referee - one of the best of the bunch we have got.\n\n\"He does come across as a little bit arrogant.

The top games, the big derbies, can only be refereed by four or five referees. The PGMOL do not trust the others to take control of those games,\" he said.\n\nHalsey also criticised the new way referees are assessed. There is now an \"evaluation system\" that can take up to 10 days to issue feedback rather than an assessor at the ground.\n\nHe added: \"It could be 10 days before you get closure on a game on a Saturday. You can go into your next game without any closure on a previous game.\n\n\"Look at the top referees, they are confused.

There is no love lost between Clattenburg, the FA, and PGMOL.\n\n\"There is a lot to sort out. It needs a massive overhaul.

That is double its capacity.\n\nOvercrowding makes it hard for prison authorities to keep rival factions separate. It also raises tensions inside the cells, with inmates competing for limited resources such as mattresses and food.\n\nIn the relatively wealthy state of Sao Paulo, a single guard oversees 300 to 400 prisoners in some prisons, Camila Dias, a sociologist at the Federal University of ABC in Sao Paulo and expert on Brazil's prison system, told Reuters.\n\nThat means it is relatively easy for prisoners - and gangs - to take control of the facilities. As a result, \"when the prisoners want to have an uprising, they have an uprising,\" Ms Dias said.\n\nKillings are already common within the walls of Brazil's prisons - 372 inmates lost their lives in this way in 2016, according to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper - but this recent surge has been linked to the breakdown in a two-decade truce of sorts between the country's two most powerful gangs.\n\nA lack of guards means prisoners can take control, experts say. Pictured: A riot in 2014\n\nUp until recently, the Sao Paulo-based First Capital Command (PCC) drug gang and Rio de Janeiro's Red Command had a working relationship, supposedly to ensure the flow of marijuana, cocaine and guns over Brazil's porous borders and into its cities.\n\nBut recently they have fallen out - although the exact reasons why remain unclear.\n\nAnd following the government crackdown on criminal gangs, there are thousands of members of both gangs locked up inside Brazilian prisons.\n\nRafael Alcadipani, a public security expert at the Getulio Vargas Foundation think tank in Sao Paulo, told Reuters it means any feud between the two sides on the streets will almost certainly spill over into the largely \"self-regulated\" jails.\n\n\"We see that as soon as we have a gang war, these killings are inevitably going to happen because the state has no control over the prisons,\" he said.\n\nThe army patrols outside a prison in northern Brazil where more than 30 inmates died\n\nFollowing the deadly riots in Amazonas, state governor Jose Melo asked the federal government for equipment such as scanners, electronic tags and devices which block mobile phone signals inside prisons.\n\nHis request illustrates the lack of basic equipment in prisons which house large numbers of prisoners.\n\nHe also said that the state police force was struggling to cope and requested that federal forces be sent.\n\nPoorly-trained and badly-paid prison guards often face inmates who not only outnumber them but who also feel they have little to lose as they face long sentences already.\n\nFollowing the 1 January riot, which left 56 inmates dead in a prison in Manaus, the Brazilian government announced a plan to modernise the prison system.\n\nBut with Brazil going through its worst recession in two decades and a 20-year cap on public spending in place, it is hard to see how the government plans to fund it.", "Not the greatest shot - but a landmark moment\n\nTen years ago I was running from San Francisco’s Moscone Centre to a nearby hotel to edit a piece for the Ten O’Clock News when my phone rang.\n\nThose were the days, by the way, when phones were for making calls but all that was about to change.\n\n“Have you got your hands on this new Apple phone for a piece to camera?” shouted a producer in London. “If not, why not?”\n\nThis appeared to be an impossible demand.\n\nSteve Jobs had just unveiled the iPhone before an adoring crowd but it was not available for grubby hacks to manhandle.\n\nThen I remembered that we had been offered - and turned down for lack of time - an interview with Apple’s marketing chief Phil Schiller. I turned around and headed back to the Moscone Centre. Having located Mr Schiller I asked whether before our interview I might just have a look at the iPhone.\n\nHe graciously handed his over - and rather than trying to ring Jony Ive or order 5,000 lattes as Steve Jobs had on stage, I brandished it at the camera for my Ten O’Clock News piece.\n\nThe following weekend a Sunday newspaper columnist described me as having clutched the phone as if it were “a fragment of the true cross”, and some viewers complained that the BBC had given undue prominence to a product launch.\n\nI appeared on the Newswatch programme to defend our reporting and said that some products did merit coverage because they promised a step change in the way we lived - and I mused on whether the Model T Ford would have been a story if we’d had a TV news bulletin back then.\n\nAfterwards, I rather regretted saying that - who knew whether the iPhone would really prove as revolutionary as the arrival of mass car ownership?\n\nBut today that comparison does not look so outlandish. The smartphone has been the key transformative technology of the last decade, putting powerful computers in the hands of more than two billion people and disrupting all sorts of industries.\n\nWe have become accustomed to having a quality camera a hand's reach away\n\nOne example is in the photograph at the top of this article. It’s not very good - but then again it was taken by me on a digital SLR camera. In difficult lighting conditions, I struggled to get Steve Jobs in focus on stage.\n\nCompare and contrast with a photo taken 10 years later in Las Vegas last week - it was shot on an iPhone but could just as well been captured on any high-end smartphone such as a Google Pixel, and was the work of the same incompetent photographer.\n\nThis 2017 photo could be instantly shared on social media - the Steve Jobs one stayed in my SLR for days.\n\nMy point is that the iPhone radically changed the way we thought about photography and a whole range of other activities we could now do on the move.\n\nOf course, there were cameras on phones before 2007, just as there were mobile devices that allowed you to roam the internet or send an email. But the genius of Steve Jobs was to realise that without an attractive user interface many people just couldn’t be bothered to do more with their phones than talk and text.\n\nSo, despite my rather British distaste for the hyperbole surrounding the iPhone launch - expressed at the time in a blog - I now look back and feel grateful to have witnessed a moment in history.\n\nOther firms, notably Amazon and Google, are now taking us forward with innovative products imbued with artificial intelligence.

young, male, they've gone to a top school\"\n\nSilicon Valley is so male-dominated that there's a name for the young, brash men who populate the region's many start-ups and high-tech firms: \"brogrammers\".\n\nBrogrammers are not your standard, introverted computer programmers. They are a more recent stereotype: the macho, beer swilling players who went to top schools and are often hired by their friends or former fraternity brothers in the technology industry.\n\n\"If there's a group of a hundred candidates and they're from multiple different backgrounds, different races, different genders, we noticed across the board there was a certain type of programmer that would still move forward in interviews,\" says Iba Masood, the 27-year-old chief executive and co-founder of Tara.ai, an artificial intelligence project manager that aims to change the world by combating bias.\n\n\"The brogrammer,\" says Ms Masood when asked what type of candidate she is referring to. \"It's a type that's known in the Valley.\"\n\nSyed Ahmed and Iba Masood created Tara so job candidates can be assessed without bias\n\nMs Masood's company created Tara, which stands for Talent Acquisition and Recruiting Automation.\n\nTara analyses and ranks programmers' code, removing biographical information such as age, race, gender or where you have worked in the past or where you went to university. The algorithm means that people are judged on the work they have produced rather than who they are or who they know.\n\n\"We're very passionate about creating a meritocracy,\" says Ms Masood, who along with her co-founder Syed Ahmed, were born and raised in the United Arab Emirates. They wanted to create opportunities for people like themselves: smart and entrepreneurial, but not graduates of brand-name schools.\n\nTara is a project manager that recruits and manages the best programmers for a variety of projects for businesses, from building simple websites to creating advanced applications.\n\nTo create Tara the two used publicly available code and graded programmers on a 1-10 scale. None of the programmers are a perfect 10 and Tara doesn't tell a candidate their rank, though it does set a minimum standard for recommending work.\n\nTheir highest-ranking member is a nine - he's a young, US-based programmer who never went to university.\n\nThe people creating Tara hope it will help those who find it tough to break into the tech industry\n\nMr Ahmed, 28, is the chief technology officer behind Tara. He says the system is much more than a recruiter - it is capable of finding the best people for the job and carrying out the entire recruitment process.\n\nHe says Tara will increasingly offer opportunities for people working in the freelance economy, and will create more opportunities for women and minorities who have historically had a tough time breaking in to cutting edge start-ups and staying in the tech industry.\n\nIn the US, women held just 25% of professional computing occupations in 2015, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And more than 90% of those women were white. Just 5% were Asian, 3% African American and 1% Hispanic.\n\nWomen in computing fields in the US have declined since a peak of 36% in 1991. A 2016 report from the National Center for Women in Information Technology says that women quit the tech industry in numbers more than double their male counterparts.\n\n\"Evidence suggests that workplace conditions, a lack of access to key creative roles, and a sense of feeling stalled in one's career are some of the most significant factors contributing to female attrition from the tech field,\" the report says.\n\nShaherose Charania believes a more diverse workforce will help companies avoid making cultural mistakes that cause offence to customers\n\nShaherose Charania, a board member and also the co-founder of Women 2.0, which advocates for women in technology, says that companies lacking diversity are more prone to make mistakes that offend their users.\n\n\"There are so many mistakes that companies like Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter have made to exclude some of their most engaged user groups,\" Ms Charania says, referring to Facebook's \"poke\" which annoyed many women and more recently Snapchat's Bob Marley filter, which was criticised as promoting a racist digital version of blackface.\n\nWhile \"bro culture\" might be blamed for failing to retain the few women who do work in tech fields, the reality is there aren't many trained female computer scientists to recruit in the first place. Although women earn 57% of all undergraduate university degrees in the US, they account for just 18% of computer science degrees.\n\nUsing artificial intelligence may level the playing field when it comes to hiring on merit but it won't solve the recruiting \"pipeline problem\" of having too few women applicants.\n\nMs Charania says bias in hiring is typically not conscious, but a result of people hiring people they feel comfortable with, often from similar backgrounds and universities. If there are no women candidates or just one token female, their likelihood of getting the job is very slim.\n\nWhether or not AI changes \"bro culture\" remains to be seen. Some of those \"bros\" are likely to be very talented programmers. But until more women study computer science, gender parity in technology will remain science fiction.\n\nBut Ms Masood predicts more and more women will enter the field in the future.\n\n\"I believe the next 20 to 30 years is going to be transformative for women,\" says Ms Masood. \"There's going to be people from multiple different backgrounds, races, perspectives coming into the field of programming.

So he bankrolled an Ontario town's resettlement of over 200 refugees.\n\nOver the summer of 2015, the business executive from the southwestern Ontario town of Guelph watched the Syrian refugee crisis unfold a half a world away, night after night on the evening news.\n\n\"I didn't think people were doing enough things fast enough,\" he says.\n\nHe would put up CA$1.5m (US$1.1m/£910,000) of his own money to bring over 50 refugee families to Canada, and co-ordinate a community-wide effort to help settle them into their new life.\n\nIt would be a volunteer-driven project, but organised like a business. Volunteer directors led multiple teams, each in charge of a different aspect of settling newcomers.\n\nCanada allows private citizens, along with authorised sponsorship groups, to directly sponsor refugees by providing newcomers with basic material needs like food, clothing, housing, and support integrating into Canadian society. But Estill was looking to make a big impact, quickly.\n\n\"I know how to scale things,\" says Estill, who made his fortune as an entrepreneur, and previously worked as a director at Research in Motion, best known for producing the BlackBerry mobile phone.\n\nJelil Alou, a Syrian refugee sponsored by the Canadian government, stands with Muhamad Abdo and Ibrahim Halil Dudu, who were sponsored by Jim Estill and the Muslim Society of Guelph\n\nEstill would be the money man, but he needed partners.\n\nSo he brought together 10 different faith-based organisations that were already looking at ways to help those affected by the Syrian civil war.\n\nSara Sayyed remembers the night her husband, president of the Muslim Society of Guelph, came back from that meeting and told her about Estill's plan.\n\n\"I was completely floored. I said: 'Let's get involved in this.'\"\n\nIn November 2015, the local Guelph paper published an article about the plan. It was translated into Arabic and spread around the Middle East.\n\n\"People started emailing us directly from Turkey, from Lebanon, from within Syria, saying: 'Can you help us? Can you do something?'\" says Sayyed.\n\nIbrahim Halil Dudu, who was sponsored by Jim Estill and the Muslim Society of Guelph, made international headlines when his skills as a tailor were called on to save a bride's wedding day\n\nAs Estill recalls it: \"At first you get one email. You get one or two and say: 'Let's see what I can do.' Then it turns into a hundred. And then it's very difficult.\"\n\nSayyed's dining room table disappeared under a pile of sponsorship applications. Fifty-eight families were eventually selected.\n\nBut that was just the first challenge.\n\nThe sponsored families arrived at a trickle. Long delays in government processing came at a cost. Hard to find housing sat vacant. Donations languished in warehouses.\n\n\"I was completely taken by surprise it would take so long for the Canadian government to let people in,\" says Estill. \"That cost us a lot.\"\n\nBy December 2016, 47 of 58 families had arrived in Guelph.\n\nBut Estill realised that many newcomers were having difficulty finding work because they lacked experience or English language skills.\n\nSo he launched a program that provides Syrian refugees with jobs at Danby, along with regular English lessons. He has also assisted others in establishing their own business.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

They screened, trained and mentored 800 volunteers, co-ordinated the organisations involved in the effort, and tackled emergencies, including fielding late night calls about bug-infested donated furniture.\n\nJames says Estill, who she describes as \"a little bristly\" but \"with a really big heart\", has challenged people to ask: \"What can I give? What can I do?\"\n\nEstill says he reads and replies to all the emails he receives from people seeking to come to Canada and is looking to sponsor more, though the focus will be on bringing in relatives of the newcomers who have already arrived.\n\nStill, the businessman remains perplexed by the praise the effort has gotten worldwide. Estill says he simply had the means to help and a vision of how to implement the plan.\n\nAnd he says his parents, who sponsored two Ugandan refugees when he was a child, instilled humanitarian values in him.\n\n\"I guess I was raised right.

They warned Carolyn that this would probably mean she would be out of work.\n\nWanting to save a job she enjoyed, Carolyn decided to try to buy the business.\n\nPooling her savings with those of her friend and co-worker Manya van Aker, their offer of the princely sum of 1,000 Australian dollars ($735; £590) was accepted.\n\nThey dubbed the new incarnation Carman's, combining the first three letters of their names.\n\nDespite their youthful enthusiasm, increased sales were hard to come by, and Manya left the business two years later. Carolyn, however, persevered on her own, and in 1997 the company got its big break when Australia's second largest supermarket chain, Coles, started to stock its muesli.\n\nToday Carman's Fine Foods is worth 83m Australian dollars ($60m; £50m), while Carolyn is dubbed the \"muesli queen\" by the Australian media.\n\nThe company's breakfast cereals and other products are stocked by more than 3,000 outlets across the country, and exported to 32 other nations.\n\n\"I wasn't afraid of hard work,\" says Carolyn, now 42. \"[But] the first few years were really hard. If I could have given it away I would have.\"\n\nFor the first three years of the business Carolyn continued with her arts degree at Melbourne's Monash University. She would make deliveries early in the morning before lectures, and then do the business's bookkeeping in the college library over lunch.\n\nAfter she graduated Carman's still wasn't making enough money for it to be Carolyn's only source of income, so she also held a number of part-time jobs, including working behind the till at a supermarket.\n\nCarolyn bought out her co-founder two years into the business\n\nShe was so hard up at times that she had to ask her brother to siphon petrol from their mother's car.\n\n\"I was really broke,\" says Carolyn. \"I remember I couldn't see my way out of it.\"\n\nHowever, sales to independent stores and cafes starting to rise thanks to word of mouth. With no money for advertising, Carolyn's mum helped with an unusual marketing initiative - she'd stand in shops and loudly tell people how good her daughter's muesli was.\n\nThen after five years the company's fortunes were transformed when it started being stocked by Coles. At the time Carolyn still didn't have any formal staff, instead relying on help from her husband Pete.\n\nToday the company has 25 employees at its Melbourne head office, and another 160 people at its manufacturing facilities. In addition to six types of muesli it now makes other granolas, plus breakfast and snack bars.\n\nAlthough Carolyn says she will never regret her decision to set up Carman's, she says she had to miss out on many of the fun experiences that come with being young. For example, she never partied or travelled the way her friends were able to.\n\nAnd she wonders whether her age might have hindered early success. \"It might have happened a bit quicker if I was a little bit more mature,\" she says.\n\nCarolyn balances running the company with helping to look after her four children\n\nCarolyn also says she faced challenges as a young woman running a business that are - thankfully - less common than they are today.\n\nShe says being a 20-something female meant she struggled to convince banks to lend her money. Much more distressingly, she says she occasionally faced sexual harassment from suppliers and other men who wouldn't take her seriously.\n\n\"Now I'd be like, 'you've got to be joking, that is so inappropriate.' [But] I think 20 years ago I was a bit nervous to stand up and go, 'hey that is not cool,'\" she says.\n\nWhile Carman's has continued to grow strongly following the first Coles contract, it has not all been plain sailing. For a brief period eight years ago Carman's lost another supermarket deal because of a temporary dip in sales.\n\nCarolyn says she was able to win back the contract, and that the episode was one of the biggest learning experiences of her career.\n\n\"I wouldn't be living with the healthy paranoia I have now,\" she says. \"That is never going to happen to me again.\"\n\nThe business has expanded beyond muesli\n\nNathan Cloutman, a senior food industry analyst at research group Ibis World, says Carman's is able to charge premium prices for its products.\n\n\"Consumers see Carman's as promoting that healthy, rustic lifestyle that people are moving towards,\" he says.\n\nMr Cloutman says the two main challenges for the company in the future are to cope with the big cereal producers increasingly trying to copy what it is doing, and for it to expand without sacrificing its local, homemade feel.\n\nWith Carman's now entering the giant Chinese market, Carolyn says she continues to set three-year goals for the business, while regularly testing and measuring her chances of success.\n\n\"It's kind of like climbing Everest.

She mentioned the word injustice 17 times, what she described as \"everyday\" injustice that breeds resentment between young and old, London and the rest of the country, rich and poor.\n\nListening to her on all of those big occasions, despite having been at the top table of the government for six years, you sense that Theresa May fundamentally thinks that there is quite a lot that is wrong with Britain.\n\nBut alongside what feels by now, a familiar and rather downbeat analysis of the state we are in, for the first time came what the prime minister wants us to see as her solution to all that.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Theresa May warns about rise of 'fringe' politics\n\nNot the Big Society of David Cameron, nor even Margaret Thatcher's much misquoted statement, \"there is no such thing as society - there are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first\".\n\nBut for Theresa May it is a \"shared society\", where we all have responsibilities to each other, and an \"active\" government has a responsibility to step in to help, not just the poorest, but the millions in the middle too.\n\nAfter a while, every political leader finds themselves in need of a slogan, and it's certainly not the worst that's ever been dreamed up.\n\nShe wants you to see her and her party as the sensible middle, on the side of ordinary families, not veering away from the centre ground. It's about as clear an appeal to Middle England, where elections are traditionally won, as you can find. But while she gave today the skeleton of a philosophy, there was not a fully fleshed-out body of policy to accompany it.\n\nAnd even before the speech was given, the policy that she did talk more about crashed into the common problem of reality versus political rhetoric. Theresa May's desire to make sure that people who need help with their mental health, particularly children, get what they need as soon as possible, and that society sheds the stigma around it, seems genuinely felt.\n\nBut she is not the first Conservative politician to have made such a promise. Her predecessor made a similar big one exactly a year ago.\n\nAnd more importantly perhaps, there is deep scepticism from opposition politicians and those who work in the sector, that the system can work properly without a significant amount of extra cash.\n\nWhat's happening on the ground was described to me as a \"car crash\" today by someone in the sector. However many times the prime minister says she wants to make sure mental health is treated just a seriously as physical health, the pressures on funding right across the NHS do matter.\n\nToday's measures are also about where money is being allocated, not opening up the taxpayer's chequebook to top up health budgets.\n\nBut that's not the only political problem that Theresa May's vision of a \"shared society\" will face. Prime ministers are always defined by what they choose to pursue but also by what they can't control.\n\nIn managing our departure from the EU, she faces the biggest challenge any leader has had in decades. Preventing her government from becoming consumed by that will take more than a series of speeches and a new slogan.", "Artist Claudine O'Sullivan offers an alternative to the Tube\n\nCommuters and travellers in London have been hit by a Tube strike.\n\nMore than four million people could be affected, but some have taken to social media to see the lighter side.\n\nFrom The Daily Grindstone, there was just a hint of sarcasm about alternative routes, such as the bus, which no-one else would have thought of:\n\nEarlier, Clapham Junction rail station was evacuated, but commuters were appeased by a little light music, as tweeted by Alicia Harries:\n\nIt's not just commuters who were struggling.

perhaps because they specialised in heavy goods or trucked on narrow mountain roads.\n\nThen there were the powerful dockworkers' unions, who resisted the idea.\n\nYes the containers would make the job of loading ships safer but it would also mean fewer jobs.\n\nMalcom McLean understood how revolutionary containerisation could be for shipping\n\nUS regulators also preferred the status quo.\n\nThe sector was tightly bound with red tape, with separate sets of regulations determining how much that shipping and trucking companies could charge.\n\nWhy not simply let companies charge whatever the market would bear - or even allow shipping and trucking companies to merge, and put together an integrated service?\n\nPerhaps the bureaucrats too were simply keen to preserve their jobs.\n\nSuch bold ideas would have left them with less to do.\n\nThe man who navigated this maze of hazards, and who can fairly be described as the inventor of the modern shipping container system, was called Malcom McLean.\n\nMcLean did not know anything about shipping but he was a trucking entrepreneur.\n\nHe knew plenty about trucks, plenty about playing the system, and all there was to know about saving money.\n\nAs Marc Levinson explains in his book, The Box, McLean not only saw the potential of a shipping container that would fit neatly onto a flat bed truck, he also had the skills and the risk-taking attitude needed to make it happen.\n\nFirst, McLean cheekily exploited a legal loophole to gain control of both a shipping company and a trucking company.\n\nThen, when dockers went on strike, he used the idle time to refit old ships to new container specifications.\n\nHe took on \"fat cat\" incumbents in Puerto Rico, revitalising the island's economy by slashing shipping rates to the United States.\n\nHe cannily encouraged New York's Port Authority to make the New Jersey side of the harbour a centre for container shipping.\n\nBut probably the most striking coup took place in the late 1960s, when Malcom McLean sold the idea of container shipping to perhaps the world's most powerful customer: the US Military.\n\nFaced with an unholy logistical nightmare in trying to ship equipment to Vietnam, the military turned to McLean's container ships.\n\nContainers work much better when they are part of an integrated logistical system, and the US military was perfectly placed to implement that.\n\nEven better, McLean realised that on the way back from Vietnam, his empty container ships could collect payloads from the world's fastest growing economy, Japan.\n\nAnd so trans-Pacific trading began in earnest.\n\nA modern shipping port would be unrecognisable to a hardworking longshoreman of the 1950s.\n\nEven a modest container ship might carry 20 times as much cargo as the SS Warrior did, yet disgorge its cargo in hours rather than days.\n\nGigantic cranes weighing 1,000 tonnes apiece lock onto containers which themselves weigh upwards of 30 tonnes, and swing them up and over on to a waiting transporter.\n\nThe colossal ballet of engineering is choreographed by computers, which track every container as it moves through a global logistical system.\n\nThe refrigerated containers are put in a hull section with power and temperature monitors.\n\nThe heavier containers are placed at the bottom to keep the ship's centre of gravity low.\n\nThe entire process is scheduled to keep the ship balanced.\n\nAnd after the crane has released one container onto a waiting transporter, it will grasp another before swinging back over the ship, which is being simultaneously emptied and refilled.\n\nNot everywhere enjoys the benefits of the containerisation revolution.\n\nMany ports in poorer countries still look like New York in the 1950s.\n\nSub-Saharan Africa, in particular, remains largely cut off from the world economy because of poor infrastructure.\n\nBut for an ever-growing number of destinations, goods can now be shipped reliably, swiftly and cheaply.\n\nRather than the $420 (£335) that a customer would have paid to get the SS Warrior to ship a tonne of goods across the Atlantic in 1954, you might now pay less than $50 (£39).\n\nIndeed, economists who study international trade often assume that transport costs are zero.\n\nIt keeps the mathematics simpler, they say, and thanks to the shipping container, it is nearly true.\n\nTim Harford writes the Financial Times's Undercover Economist column.

One of the children in particular was very upset about some of the things that had been said to her.\n\n\"Her friend's mum spoke to me about it and showed me the messages that had been sent. When I approached my daughter about it, she denied that there had been anything going on. It took a while to get it out of her, but I was angry with her once I actually found out that she had been sending these messages.\n\n\"I spoke to her teacher and to the other parents, and between us we spoke to the children to let them know that they can't be saying unkind things and to just make them aware that whatever they do is recorded and can be kept. And they all did learn a lesson from it.\n\n\"I removed all the social media websites from her so she wasn't able to access them for a while and then monitored her input and what she's been saying to people.\n\n\"But it did make me feel angry and quite ashamed that my daughter could be saying things like that to her friends, but she has grown up a bit since then and she's learnt her lesson.\n\n\"You want to trust your children, but they can get themselves into situations that they can't get out of.\n\n\"And as they get older, they look at different things. I know my son looks at totally different things to what my daughter does, so it's just being aware of what they are accessing and make sure that they are happy for you to look at what they are looking at as well.\"\n\nThere is plenty of advice for parents on coping with cyberbullying but less on what to do if your child is the bully\n\nAccording to not-for-profit organisation Internet Matters, one in five 13-18 year olds claim to have experienced cyberbullying but there are few statistics on how many children are bullying.\n\nCarolyn Bunting, general manager of Internet Matters, offers the following advice:\n\n\"First, sit down with them and try to establish the facts around the incident with an open mind. As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.\n\n\"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.\n\n\"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.\n\n\"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.\n\n\"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers.\"\n\nTwitter's image has been tarnished by trolls\n\nMany critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.\n\nSinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:\n\n\"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock.\"\n\nShe offered the following advice:\n\n\"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.\n\n\"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created. If it continues, it may be worth seeking additional advice from a teacher or trusted confidant.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "As Barack Obama closes out his final days as US president, local governments are naming the usual libraries, motorways and schools in his honour.\n\nThe Barack Obama Presidential Center library is being erected in Chicago and students across the country are already enrolled in schools named after the nation's first African-American president.\n\nBut as well as the ceremonial plaques, sculptures, and buildings there are a few other things bearing Mr Obama's name that you may not have expected.\n\nBaracktrema obamai is the second parasite whose moniker was inspired by Mr Obama.\n\nThe flatworm species, which has a long, thread-like body, infects Malaysian freshwater turtles and can be fatal.\n\n\"This is clearly something, in my small way, done to honour our president,\" said Dr Thomas R Platt, an expert on turtle parasites who discovered the species.\n\nHe also said he was a distant relative of Mr Obama.\n\nResearchers have previously named a hairworm, the Paragordius obamai, found in Kenya, after Mr Obama.

The equipment they are given, including needles for injecting, is clean and supplied by the shelter.\n\nEverything is laid on - bar the drugs, which users must bring with them.\n\nInjecting rooms have been around for more than 30 years. Drug rooms exist officially in several European countries, including Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Spain, as well as in Canada and Australia.\n\nThere are six fix rooms in Denmark, and many others around Europe\n\nAnd Britain could be next in line.

Origi had the best chance to do just that when Yann Songo'o brought down Alberto Moreno inside the box, but the Belgian, who has not scored since 14 December, hit an unconvincing spot-kick too close to McCormick.\n\nPlymouth are fighting for promotion from League Two. They are currently second in the division and produced a hugely impressive defensive display at Anfield to earn the replay.\n\nAs a consequence, there was an air of expectation in the build-up to the game that the Pilgrims could produce an upset, with excitement for the fixture high throughout the city.\n\nTickets quickly sold out as fans queued for hours to ensure they had the chance to be part of a potentially famous night for the club, while several iconic buildings around Plymouth were illuminated in green and white colours to show their support.\n\nDuring the game, Plymouth fans produced a party atmosphere even after Lucas' goal and their players responded by creating one or two chances to equalise.\n\nAlberto Moreno struggled to deal with the combination of the impressive Oscar Threlkeld and Jervis down Liverpool's left. And it was from there that the hosts produced their best chance in the first half.\n\nThrelkeld got into space to cross low into the box, only for a well-timed Alexander-Arnold tackle to deny Paul Garita the chance to equalise from close range.\n\nJervis then shaved the outside of the post as Plymouth pressed in the second half, and although it was not to be in the end, the club are set to earn more than £1m from the two games with Liverpool. That could provide a significant boost to their bid for promotion.\n\n'We didn't want to be embarrassed'\n\nKlopp was relieved to avoid an upset and praised his young players for stepping up to the challenge.\n\n\"You do not want to feel the embarrassment of losing a game like this,\" he said.\n\n\"I'm happy about their potential and we will do everything we can to let it grow. But they have a big job to do too.\"\n\nPlymouth manager Derek Adams said his players could be proud of their performance.\n\n\"We took the game to Liverpool at times,\" he said.\n\n\"We went a wee bit direct towards the end and overall I thought it was a very good performance from us.

She said in the speech that she wants: \"the freest possible trade in goods and services between Britain and the EU's member states.\"\n\nShe does not want to opt out of that.\n\nThe freest possible means what we have today. For example: no tariffs on goods travelling in either direction, mutual recognition of each other's technical standards, the freedom to offer services across borders and more.\n\nIn short, it means the provisions of the single market that apply to goods and services. It would be theoretically possible to go further still, especially in services. The European Commission says there are still barriers and it wants to tackle them.\n\nBut for now, the single market as it is represents the freest we can get.\n\nBut Mrs May seems to accept that we can't have that without also accepting freedom of movement for workers. And that is one of her red lines.\n\nSo once that has gone, the freest possible movement for goods and services will presumably mean something less than the single market, something less than we have today.\n\nHow much less will be a matter for negotiation. In fact, the answer to many questions about what will \"X\" be like when we leave will depend on the outcome of the negotiations. We can speculate but we can't know for sure.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Some of the headlines from Theresa May's vision for future UK-EU relations\n\nThe UK does have some cards which will encourage the EU to lean towards what the Prime Minister wants. Some European businesses have the UK as an important export market - German car makers for example.\n\nDuring the referendum campaign many Leave supporters were keen to point out that the rest of the EU exports more to the UK than the UK exports to them. That, they argued, means they need the UK more than we need them.\n\nThe counter-argument is that EU exports to the UK as a share of national income are a lot smaller than trade in the opposite direction. That suggests UK/EU trade matters more to us than to them.\n\nAnother reason that the remaining EU might want to be cooperative in trade negotiations is that many continental businesses would want to continue to be able to use the City of London as a financial centre. On the other hand some other cities, including Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin, might fancy a bigger slice of that pie.\n\nSo there are some economic reasons for the EU to share Mrs May's desire for free movement of goods and services.\n\nBut there is an important political issue that pulls them in the opposite direction. They don't want life in the UK to look too rosy at a time when there are rising Eurosceptic movements in many countries beyond the UK.", "The inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the US is on Friday.\n\nWhat does he represent?

Original content.\n\nNetflix was being bold - its aspirations were no longer to be your on-demand DVD collection, but instead the place where you discovered and consumed new and exclusive shows.\n\nSo rather than pay money out to studios for the right to show existing content, it instead ploughed its cash into shows such as Stranger Things, The Crown, Luke Cage and the remake of Gilmore Girls.\n\nIn 2016, those “Netflix Originals” - already a term you could argue has become synonymous with quality - came thick and fast.\n\nThe firm said it produced 600 hours of original programming last year - and intends to raise that to about 1,000 hours in 2017. Its budget to achieve that is $6bn (£4.9bn) - a billion more than last year.\n\nOn Wednesday we learned the company has been rewarded handsomely for putting its eggs in the original content basket. After hours trading on Wednesday saw the company’s stock rise by as much as 9% on the news it had added 7.05 million new subscribers in the last three months of 2016.\n\nThat’s far greater than the 5.2 million they had anticipated, and left them ending the year with 93.8 million subscribers in total - and an expectation of breaking the symbolic 100 million mark by the end of March.\n\nThe kids of Stranger Things become overnight superstars - and helped earn Netflix millions\n\nIn all, 2016 saw Netflix take in $8.83bn (£7.1bn) in revenue - with a profit of $186.7m (£151.6m).\n\nAll looking good, then - but there’s still work to do.\n\nIn a letter to shareholders, Netflix underlined, as it is obliged to do, the potential risks to its success going forward - chiefly globalisation and competition.\n\nWhile international expansion has been rapid, with the majority of the new sign-ups are coming from outside of the US, it will require a lot of expenditure for Netflix to dominate with original content in the 189 other countries it serves.\n\nIt has put some of its budget into non-English language shows, such as “3%”, a Portuguese sci-fi series. Intriguingly, Netflix noted that many English viewers opted to watch the dubbed version, providing an unexpected added audience.\n\nStill, when local TV players kick into action and give up so-called linear TV - episodes once a week, and so on - in favour of Netflix’s model there’s a chance the company’s head start could be clawed back.\n\nThe company notes that the BBC became the first “major linear network” to push into a “binge-first” strategy, and it expects American network HBO to follow suit pretty soon.\n\nThe company also took a somewhat unusual political step in its earnings, drawing attention to the ongoing debate over so-called net neutrality.\n\nNet neutrality is the concept that all data traffic on the internet is treated equally - and that internet service providers (ISPs) cannot, for example, charge extra for data-heavy services like video streaming.\n\nThe cost could be passed on to either companies like Netflix or the consumer - but is currently not allowed. However, there are concerns the incoming Trump administration may abolish the current laws that ensure net neutrality.\n\nNetflix said any weakening of net neutrality laws would not affect its business in any significant way, but stressed, as many advocates have done, that it would hinder competition across the board.\n\n“Strong net neutrality is important to support innovation and smaller firms,” the company wrote.\n\n\"No one wants ISPs to decide what new and potentially disruptive services can operate over their networks, or to favour one service over another. We hope the new US administration and Congress will recognise that keeping the network neutral drives job growth and innovation.”\n\nFinally, Netflix reiterated its reluctance to get into the business of broadcasting live sport - something the company argued was the last real incentive for someone to have a traditional cable or satellite subscription.\n\nMy hunch there is that it’s biding its time.\n\nNetflix boss Reid Hastings said his company was not interested in going after sports rights\n\nRight now, sports rights - even for just one market - cost astronomical amounts of cash.\n\nBut if big cable firms continue to be weakened by the likes of Netflix, their spending power will decrease. At which point the new players could see the prospect of getting a far better deal than if they were to go after it today.\n\nWhat Netflix has made clear is that it’s no longer content with signing up content to show only in select markets, it’s instead focusing on deals that can be shown in every country.\n\nHow much would global rights to the Premier League be worth, I wonder?\n\nFollow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook\n• None Netflix to allow TV and movie downloads", "Sir Patrick Stewart is joined by James Corden in the cast of the animated film\n\nHe has played many of Shakespeare's greats and been lauded for film roles in Star Trek and X-Men.\n\nBut now, Sir Patrick Stewart is to tackle perhaps his most surprising role to date - becoming the voice of the poo emoji.\n\nHe will take on the role of the bow-tie wearing Poop in The Emoji Movie, which will be released this summer.\n\nJames Corden will star as Hi-Five and Maya Rudolph will lend her voice to Smiler in the animated film.\n\nSony Pictures announced the casting news on Twitter, announcing Sir Patrick's role by saying - in emojis, naturally - that he was \"no party pooper\".\n\nSir Patrick's job as Poop comes after his voice roles in animated comedies Family Guy, American Dad! and The Simpsons.\n\nMaya Rudolph practising her happy face for the role as a smiling emoji\n\nThe reaction on social media was unsurprisingly tongue-in-cheek, with one commentator saying Sir Patrick was \"to boldly go\" - referring to his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek.\n\nAnd another wrote - adding the poo emoji: \"Patrick Stewart is going to voice the poo emoji in the new emoji film.

Even the World Trade Organization (WTO) has proposed new barriers to imports.\n\nIn Europe, trade negotiations with the United States and Canada have run into difficulty, reflecting public concerns about the impact on jobs, the environment and consumer protection.\n\nThe WTO's Doha Round of global trade liberalisation talks has run aground.\n\nThe World Trade Organization is based in Geneva and came into being in 1995\n\nThe case for trade without government imposed barriers has a long history in economics.\n\nAdam Smith, the 18th Century Scottish economist who many see as the founding father of the subject, was in favour of it. But it was a later British writer, David Ricardo in the 19th Century, who set out the idea known as comparative advantage that underpins much of the argument for freer trade.\n\nIt is not about countries being able to produce more cheaply or efficiently than others. You can have a comparative advantage in making something even if you are less efficient than your trade partner.\n\nWhen a country shifts resources to produce more of one good there is what economists call an \"opportunity cost\" in terms of how much less of something else you can make. You have a comparative advantage in making a product if the cost in that sense is less than it is in another country.\n\nEconomic arguments over free trade date back to the 19th Century\n\nIf two countries trade on this basis, concentrating on goods where they have a comparative advantage they can both end up better off.\n\nAnother reason that economists tend to look askance at trade restrictions comes from an analysis of the impact if governments do put up barriers - in particular tariffs or taxes - on imports.\n\nThere are gains of course. The firms and workers who are protected can sell more of their goods in the home market. But consumers lose out by paying a higher price - and consumers in this case can mean businesses, if they buy the protected goods as components or raw materials.\n\nThe textbook analysis says that those losses add up to more than the total gains. So you get the textbook conclusion that it's best to avoid protection.\n\nMany lower-skilled workers in developed economies feel they have lost out in the drive to globalisation\n\nAnd this conclusion is regardless of what other countries do. The 19th Century French economist Frederic Bastiat set it out it like this:\n\n\"It makes no more sense to be protectionist because other countries have tariffs than it would to block up our harbours because other countries have rocky coasts.\"\n\nThe implication is that unilateral trade liberalisation makes perfect sense.\n\nA more recent theory of what drives international trade looks at what are called economies of scale - where the more a firm produces of some good, the lower cost of each unit.\n\nThe associated specialisation can make it beneficial for economies that are otherwise very similar to trade with one another. This area is known as new trade theory and the Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman was an important figure in developing it.\n\nThe basic idea that it's good to have freer trade has underpinned decades of international co-operation on trade policy since World War Two.\n\nFree trade has been a cornerstone of the post-war world\n\nThe period since 1945 has been characterised by a gradual lowering of trade barriers. It happened in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which began life in 1948 as a forum for governments to negotiate lower tariffs.\n\nIts membership was initially small, but by the time it was replaced by the World Trade Organization in 1995, most countries had signed up.\n\nThe motivation was to end or reduce the protectionism or barriers to trade that went up in the 1930s. It is not generally thought that those barriers caused the Great Depression, but many do think they aggravated and prolonged it.\n\nThe process of post-war trade liberalisation was driven largely by a desire for reciprocal concessions - better access to others' markets in return for opening your own.\n\nBut what is the case against free (or at least freer) trade?\n\nFirst and foremost is the argument that it creates losers as well as winners.\n\nWhat Ricardo's theory suggested was that all countries engaging in trade could be better off. But his idea could not address the question of whether trade could create losers as well as winners within countries.\n\nEconomic theory says if governments adopt protectionism, total losses will outweigh total gains\n\nWork by two Swedish Nobel Prize winners, Eli Hecksher and Bertil Ohlin, subsequently built on by the American Paul Samuelson developed the basic idea of comparative advantage in a way that showed that trade could lead to some groups losing out.\n\nPutting it very briefly, if a country has a relatively abundant supply of, for example, low-skilled labour, those workers will gain while their low-skilled counterparts in countries where it is less abundant will lose.\n\nThere has been a debate about whether this approach fits the facts, but some do see it as a useful explanation of how American industrial workers (for example) have been adversely affected by the rise of competition from countries such as China.\n\nA group of economists including David Autor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology looked at the impact on areas where local industry was exposed to what they call the China shock.\n\n\"Adjustment in local labour markets is remarkably slow, with wages and labour-force participation rates remaining depressed and unemployment rates remaining elevated for at least a full decade after the China trade shock commences.\n\nAt this week's World Economic Forum, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against isolationist moves that could spark a trade war\n\nStill if you accept that overall countries gain, then the winners could in principle fully compensate the losers and still be better off.\n\nSuch programmes do exist. Countries that have unemployment benefits provide assistance to people who have lost their jobs. Some of those people will have been affected by competition from abroad.\n\nThe United States has a programme that is specially targeted for people who lose their jobs as a result of imports, called Trade Adjustment Assistance.\n\nBut is it enough? Lawrence Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute, a think-tank in Washington writes: \"The winners have never tried to fully compensate the losers, so let's stop claiming that trade benefits us all.\"\n\nWhich arguments will Donald Trump be listening to in the White House?\n\nIn any case, it is not clear that compensation would do the trick. As Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor noted, they may lose their jobs and also \"the dignity of work\".\n\nHe is keen on maintaining open markets for trade, but recognises the need to do something about what you might call the side effects.\n\nTo return to recent political developments - Donald Trump clearly did get support from many of those people in areas of the US where industry has declined.\n\nWe don't yet know how he will address those issues when he takes his place in the White House.\n\nPerhaps his threats to introduce new tariffs are just that - threats.

Britain in this analysis has taken the decision to walk away from an institution that's been an engine of peace and prosperity.\n\nHence these remarks from the German MP Norbert Roettgen, who represents Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats.\n\nHe said: \"The UK's two main economic weaknesses are its considerable trade deficit and a big budget deficit. As such [UK Chancellor Philip] Hammond's threats with duties and tax cuts would primarily damage the UK and should be regarded as an expression of British cluelessness.\"\n\nThat dismissal of an option Britain is keeping in reserve - the option of operating as a low-tax base for business if Europe refuses to cut an attractive deal - would be seen in Strasbourg as one weakness in the Theresa May strategy.\n\nFrom elsewhere on the German political spectrum came an alternative strand of criticism - not that the UK was trying to set up a kind of low-tax magnet for foreign investment into Europe but simply that it was cutting ties in too brutal a fashion.\n\nToo much, too fast?

She wants to cut all ties and I don't think that's going to fly well on the rest of the continent. Theresa May didn't really make friends in the last couple of days here in the overall European Union.\"\n\nTo the right of that broad European mainstream of course, things are seen rather differently.\n\nFrance's far-right National Front looks at the success of the Leave campaign in the UK with a degree of envy. It doesn't like the EU either and would like to see its core treaties renegotiated.\n\nIts senior MEP Bruno Gollnisch said: \" I do think that in the end Britain could settle down to a situation rather like what it had before Brexit - after all in those days we managed things like exchanges of school pupils.

No doubt, he was a better player in the clutch moments,\" said Djokovic.\n\n\"Many things came together for him today and he's a well-deserved winner.

Overall, India hit 214 from their final 20 overs and 120 off the last 10.\n\nLiam Plunkett, ineffective on his return for figures of 2-91, was hammered for three sixes in an over, eventually getting a crumb of comfort when Dhoni hit a full toss to David Willey at deep mid-wicket.\n\nEngland were not fazed by what would have been their highest successful run chase in ODIs, with Root and Roy sharing a stand of 100 that kept the tourists ahead of the curve.\n\nHowever, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, England's tormentor during their 4-0 Test series defeat, had Root sky a sweep, bowled Ben Stokes and had Buttler stumped down the leg side, while spin partner Ravindra Jadeja found turn to bowl Roy.\n\nStill England pressed on, captain Morgan returning to form with sixes over long-on and long-off, and Moeen's leg-side scoring bringing him a 40-ball half-century.\n\nWhen Moeen dragged on to his stumps off Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it looked to be a fatal blow to England's chances, but Morgan kept them alive in a fifty partnership with Plunkett that came in only 24 balls.\n\nThe Irishman reached his ninth ODI ton only to be run out by bowler Jasprit Bumrah when backing up too far, taking England's hopes with him as he departed.\n\nFalling short by 15 in a game of 747 runs, England will reflect on a bowling effort that was too expensive and top-order batting that failed to capitalise on a strong position.\n\n'India just got too many runs' - analysis\n\nIndia got just too many runs. England's bowling wasn't focused enough on Yuvraj Singh and then they lost wickets at the wrong time.\n\nIt's unfair to blame England's death bowlers, but they still haven't got that right. Woakes is good but they haven't got another person that they can really rely on.\n• None India's 381-6 is the third-highest score ever made against England in a one-day international.\n• None The partnership of 256 by Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni is the second-highest for any wicket by any opponent against England in ODIs, bettered only by the 286 shared by Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga for Sri Lanka in 2006.\n• None Yuvraj is only the sixth man to make a score of 150 or more against England in an ODI.\n• None England made their fifth-highest ODI total and their largest batting second. It was also the largest score they have ever made to lose an ODI.\n• None 747 runs is the second-most made in an ODI in India, behind the 825 made by the hosts and Sri Lanka in 2009-10.\n• None Joe Root has made a half-century in each of the five Tests and two ODIs against India this winter.\n\n'We weren't at our best' - what they said\n\nEngland captain Eoin Morgan: \"We probably weren't at our best with ball or the bat but we still competed and it's tremendously disappointing not to get over the line.\n\n\"Bowling to MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh is very difficult at times. The margin for error is quite small and the challenge is to break the partnership a little earlier.\n\n\"We showed a lot of fight, we have a huge amount of talent. It's been a magnificent day's cricket.\"\n\nIndia captain Virat Kohli: \"I said to the team that if we had had a good start then where could we have ended up today? MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh brought stability and wonders to the team, their batting rate was outstanding.\n\n\"A 380 target, we thought, was a bit too far-fetched, but we bowled at the most difficult phase because of the dew and the ball was very hard to execute - and the guys showed great character.\n\n\"If we had not picked out the wickets in the middle then I'm not sure where the game would have gone.\"\n\nMan-of-the-match Yuvraj Singh: \"In the domestic season I've been hitting the ball really well and I've been working hard on my fitness. The results showed today.\n\n\"Me and MS Dhoni understand the situations really well, we started by hitting the ball down the ground really well and not taking any risks. Then we attacked when the time was right.\"\n\n\"Diet has been the key, as you pass 30 you've got to work hard on your fitness - I learned that from Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble, all the greats.\"", "Charles Chen Yidan is putting his technology fortune back into education\n\nA Chinese technology billionaire is offering the world's most valuable education prize.\n\nThe Yidan Prize will award nearly $8m (£6.64m) every year to two research projects that have the potential to \"transform\" global education.\n\nCharles Chen Yidan, who co-founded China's internet company, Tencent, wants to use the prize to scale up innovative education research projects and replicate them across the world.\n\nUniversities, governments and think tanks have reacted enthusiastically to the prize, and leading US institutions like Harvard and MIT have already submitted several nominations.\n\nBut the winner might not necessarily be a household name in education. Even a local project could win the prize, if it can prove it has been effective.\n\n\"As long as an idea is replicable in other regions, we can give them an award,\" says Mr Chen.\n\nMr Chen, now aged 45, became one of China's richest men after co-founding Tencent in 1998. In 2013, he stepped down to focus on educational philanthropy.\n\nHis interest in education came from his family. His grandmother was illiterate but insisted that Mr Chen's father got a good education.\n\nThe internet billionaire founded Wuhan College, with an emphasis on more than exam grades\n\nMr Chen himself studied applied chemistry as an undergraduate at Shenzhen University and took a master's degree in economic law at Nanjing University.\n\nHis educational philosophy has also been shaped by the \"tremendous pressure\" he felt while studying for China's \"gaokao\" higher education entrance examinations.\n\nSo he set up Wuhan College, a private university in China, which focuses on \"whole-person development\" rather than rote-learning and examinations.\n\nMore stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective, and how to get in touch.\n\nYou can join the debate at the BBC's Family & Education News Facebook page.\n\nThe college aims to train talented students to join China's technology industry.\n\nExecutives from Tencent helped to design the college's curriculum, recruit students and teach classes, so that its graduates are trained in the skills required by employers.\n\nBut Mr Chen was frustrated that this college only reached a limited number of students. So he decided a global education prize would be the best way to improve education for millions of young people.\n\nMr Chen, speaking on a tour of Europe to promote the prize to universities, governments, NGOs and think tanks, says he has already been inundated with nominations.\n\nHe wants the prize to focus the attention of universities and governments on future trends in education.\n\nLooking for creativity: Fine art exam in Wuhan this autumn\n\n\"We find that no matter whether people come from a rich or developing country, in the east or the west, they are talking about similar concerns,\" says Mr Yidan.\n\nThese are questions about children from rich families having the best access to education, and whether students in some countries face too many exams.\n\nThe prize-winners will be chosen by an independent committee of educational experts led by Dr Koichiro Matsuura, former director-general of Unesco.\n\nThey are looking for nominations that are innovative and sustainable, that reform existing educational structures, and that respond to what might be the future challenges for education.\n\nBut Mr Chen also has his own ideas about how to improve global education.\n\nSpeaking through a translator but occasionally breaking into English to reinforce a point, he said he wants to find ways to make the most of the expertise of retired teachers.\n\nMr Yidan, launching the prize, called for better use of the talents of retired teachers\n\n\"They are a valuable resource that we need to make better use of,\" he says.\n\nHe thinks that collecting \"big data\" on students can improve the education that individual students receive.\n\n\"By analysing big data, we can find bespoke ways to help pupils in need,\" he says.\n\nUnsurprisingly for the co-founder of an internet company, he believes that technology will transform education.\n\nThis latest education prize is now the most valuable.\n\nThe Global Teacher Prize, run by the Varkey Foundation, gives $1m (£830,000) annually to a teacher who has made an \"outstanding contribution\" to education.\n\nThe Broad Prize for Urban Education, which ran from 2002 to 2014, gave $1m every year to a school district in the US that significantly improved the academic performance of low-income and minority students.\n\nThe WISE Prize for education, supported by the Qatar Foundation, awards $500,000 (£415,000) to the winning laureate.\n\nBut is a prize really the best way to improve education?\n\nDan Sarofian-Butin, founding dean of the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, says that prize money can be a poor way of achieving change.\n\n\"Rather than give a one-off cash prize, I hope the Yidan Prize will nurture and sustain its winners over a period of years,\" he says.\n\nHanan Al Hroub who teaches refugee children has been named as the world's best teacher\n\n\"If you look at the TV show Dragons' Den, or Shark Tank in the US, what the winners really get is not just the investment money from the sharks, but their expertise, their network of contacts and firms, their foot in the door with many companies, and their national exposure.\n\n\"Likewise, a really powerful education prize would create a mechanism that fostered exactly such mentoring, networking, and sustainability.\"\n\nAndreas Schleicher, education director at the OECD, welcomes the Yidan Prize as an incentive for innovation in education.\n\n\"When we surveyed teachers, less than a quarter of them said they would be recognised for greater levels of innovation,\" he said.\n\n\"The highly industrial and compliance-based organisation of education generally means that even where good ideas are generated, they don't scale and spread.\"\n\nNominations close at the end of March and the winners will be announced in September.", "Kardashian has reportedly already shot her scenes for Ocean's Eight\n\nThe upcoming all-female Ocean's Eight film has just added a new cast member -

The BBC's Jonathan Head looks at the cost to human lives of Thailand's poor road safety record.\n\nThere is a ritual that is now very familiar to Thais, before the two big holiday seasons of the year, in late December for the new year, and in April for the Songkran Festival.\n\nThe government will set a target for reducing fatalities on Thailand's notoriously dangerous roads, exhorting Thais not to speed, or drink and drive.\n\nSometimes good citizens will run publicity stunts, like the coffin-maker, who last year invited journalists to film the huge stockpile his workers were building up for the holiday season.\n\nAnd every year these efforts fail.\n\nThe grim statistics of death and injury on the roads are tallied each day in the media with, as often as not, worse figures than the year before.\n\nAnd so it was this last new year - 478 people lost their lives on the roads in just seven days.\n\nIn one horrific collision in Chonburi on 2 January, 25 people died - some burned to death in a crushed and overcrowded passenger van they could not escape.\n\nIn the latest high-profile accident, a pick-up truck collided with a passenger van, killing 25 people\n\nThailand's roads are currently ranked the second most lethal in the world after Libya's by the World Health Organization.\n\nThis status is all the more extraordinary given the fact that Thailand has been peaceful and increasingly prosperous for decades, with governments that in other fields, like healthcare and infrastructure, have made impressive progress.\n\nIn 2011 the then-government announced the following ten years as Thailand's 'Decade of Action on Road Safety'.\n\nIt declared 2012 as the year of 100 percent helmet use on motorbikes.\n\nIn 2015 the Department of Disaster Prevention, which is tasked with road safety in addition to problems like floods and landslides, boldly announced a target of reducing road deaths by 80%.\n\nThe challenge they face is not hard to see. Thailand's rapid development has bequeathed it an unrivalled network of 462,133 roads in the region, nearly all paved, with plenty of multi-lane highways.\n\nThere are 37 million registered vehicles, 20 million of them motorbikes, and millions more that are unregistered.\n\nDriving on a Thai expressway is akin to playing a hyper-caffeinated video game. A cursory web search for road accident videos will throw up examples of breathtaking, sometimes suicidal, recklessness. Drunk driving is a huge problem.\n\nIn 2014 and 2015 three foreigners, a British couple and a Chilean man, who were cycling around the world, and near the end of their journeys, were killed while travelling through Thailand.\n\nA pick-up truck driver, who struck the British couple while trying to reach a hat on the floor of his cab, was fined the equivalent of $30 and given a suspended prison sentence.\n\n\"Thailand has beautiful roads\", explains Ratana Winther, the country director for the US-based Asia Injury Prevention Foundation. \"And people tend to go very fast. So the number one killer is speed.\"\n\nPolice Sergeant-Major Kanthachat Nua-on can attest to that.\n\nAt a speed trap he had set up on a stretch of elevated expressway outside Bangkok, he watched car after car pass him at speeds well in excess of the 80km/h (50 mph) limit. He did not bother to ticket them.\n\n\"If we strictly follow what the law says, and issue a ticket for people driving over the speed limit, then we will end up booking everyone.\"\n\nHe booked just one car, travelling at 129km/h. But the fines are small, and more than half of those ticketed do not bother to pay, with little follow-up.\n\nThere are now 37 million vehicles on Thailand's roads\n\nIn recent years there have been a number of cases where drivers from wealthy families have killed, and been treated with extraordinary leniency.\n\nIn 2012 the grandson of the man who made a fortune from the Red Bull energy drink killed a policeman while driving at speed in his Ferrari. He was charged, but has repeatedly failed to show up in court.\n\nAnother case was that of a 16-year-old girl from an influential family, driving without a license, who struck a passenger van, killing nine of its occupants.\n\nShe was given a suspended prison sentence, and ordered to do community service - which it turned out two years later she had avoided doing.\n\nSome 24,000 people are estimated to die on Thailand's roads each year\n\n\"Enforcement is the key\", says Ratana Winther. \"But that is not just about telling the police to enforce the law. The police should be told to prioritise traffic policing over traffic management.\n\n\"But it is a multi-sectoral challenge. The punishment needs to be big enough for people to be afraid of it. And the safety campaigns must be continuous, not just at peak seasons. Then we need to move on to issues like improving the engineering of roads.\"\n\nFormer Deputy Transport Minister and safety campaigner Nikorn Chamnong goes further.\n\n\"We need to go back and change the DNA of the country,\" he says. \"Education, right back in schools, is important\".\n\nHe has been petitioning the current military-appointed National Assembly to do more. It is now on the point of approving ten changes to driving laws, including mandating the use of rear seatbelts - overall the largest overhaul of road safety legislation in 40 years.\n\nBut no-one knows how well these laws will be enforced.\n\nMourners have left flowers at the site of the accident in Chonburi\n\nMembers of the public are cynical. \"There is a saying, that a true Thai follows his own rules,\" said Pongsak Putta, a motorbike taxi driver, who was hit by a car and injured over the new year.\n\n\"As long as it does not happen to them, people do not think safety is an issue,\" said Pornpen Wongbantoon, who complains about the poor driving of the buses she has to take to work.\n\n\"Enforcement is everything,\" says Dr Liviu Vedrasco, who works on road safety at the World Health Organization.\n\nThe government officials he works with are serious about road safety, he believes, but co-ordination is a real challenge.\n\nThe Road Safety Direction Centre is responsible for leading on the issue, but is subsumed within the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, which is itself within the Ministry of Interior. Roads are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport.\n\nDr Vedrasco believes the best way to cut the appalling death toll on the roads is to focus on the most vulnerable group, motorbikes, which account for 80% of deaths.\n\n\"If you cannot reduce the number of motorbikes, the next best thing is separating them. Make a dedicated lane; maybe not a hundred percent of roads in Thailand, but aim to increase the percentage of roads with separated traffic - this will definitely have a tremendous impact.\"\n\nThe parents of Hathaitip Modpai, one of the victims of the 2 January crash, have been grieving their daughter's death\n\nAfter the shocking collision in Chonburi, the government has promised to phase out passenger vans, which it says are not designed to carry up to 15 people over long distances.\n\nThe police believe the 64 year-old driver fell asleep at the wheel. He was on his fifth 300km, 3.5 hour journey in 33 hours.\n\nTwenty-six-year-old Hathaitip Modpai was one of the victims. She had been travelling in the van back from a new year visit to her parents to Bangkok, where she worked as a car saleswoman. She was an only child.\n\nAfter her funeral, her mother, Wimol, reflected on what the impact of her daughter's death would be.\n\n\"I wish the government would do more,\" she said. \"After the accident people got excited for a while, but once the fuss dies down, everything will go back to the way it was before.\"", "Actor and lifelong Celtic fan James McAvoy predicts this weekend's Premier League results and reveals his favourite players from the Scottish side.\n\nWatch Football Focus at 12:00 GMT on Saturday, 21 January on BBC One, the BBC Sport website & mobile app.\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "Tulip Mazumdar visits the Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford where scientists are developing vaccines for all three of the shortlisted viruses.\n\nTheir Mers vaccine is at the most advanced stage.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nTottenham defender Jan Vertonghen is expected to be out for six weeks with an ankle ligament injury, according to his manager Mauricio Pochettino.\n\nThe 29-year-old centre-back turned his left ankle during the second half of last Saturday's 4-0 win over West Brom.\n\n\"When your mind is positive it's easier to recover,\" said the Argentine boss. \"He doesn't require surgery.\n\n\"We have players that can perform in his place and we are very happy with the squad and the players we have.\"\n\nAnalysis: The best defence? the most powerful midfield? - How good are Tottenham?\n\nVertonghen has played in 20 out of 21 league matches this season, forming part of a defence that has conceded just 14 goals - the best record in the league.\n\nPochettino, however, was unsure as to when attacking midfielder Erik Lamela would return to action.

Inside was a piece of digital hardware measuring 3in (7.3cm) by 5in, known as \"the biscuit\".\n\nThis contained the launch codes for a strategic nuclear strike. The briefing for the incoming president on how to activate them had already taken place out of public sight, but the moment President-elect Donald Trump took the oath of office that aide, and the satchel, moved quietly over to his side.\n\nFrom then on, Donald Trump has had sole authority to order an action that could result in the deaths of millions of people in under an hour. The question on a lot of people's minds is, given his thin skin and impulsive temperament, what are the safeguards, if any, to prevent an impetuous decision by one man with catastrophic consequences?\n\nFirst off, it should be said that Donald Trump has previously rowed back on some of his earlier, provocative comments on the use of nuclear weapons. He stated he would be \"the last person to use them\", although he did not rule it out.\n\nOther senior figures are also involved in the chain of command, such as the US Secretary of Defence, retired US Marine Gen James Mattis, But Mark Fitzpatrick, a nuclear non-proliferation expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, says that ultimately, the sole authority to launch a strike rests with the president.\n\n\"There are no checks and balances on the president's authority to launch a nuclear strike,\" he says. \"But between the time he authorises one and the time it's carried out there are other people involved.\"\n\nThe idea of a rogue president taking such a monumental decision on his own is unrealistic. He gives the order and the secretary of defence is constitutionally obliged to carry it out.\n\nThe secretary of defence could, in theory, refuse to obey the order if he had reason to doubt the president's sanity, but this would constitute mutiny and the president can then fire him and assign the task to the deputy secretary of defence.\n\nDonald Trump says the US should \"greatly strengthen and expand\" its nuclear capabilities\n\nUnder the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution a vice-president could, in theory, declare the president mentally incapable of taking a proper decision, but he would need to be backed by a majority of the cabinet.\n\nSo how would it work in practice?\n\nInside that briefcase, the \"nuclear football\" that never leaves the president's side, is a \"black book\" of strike options for him to choose from once he has authenticated his identity as commander-in-chief, using a plastic card.\n\nWashington folklore has it that a previous president temporarily mislaid his identification card when he left it inside a jacket that was sent to the dry cleaners.\n\nOnce the president has selected his strike options from a long-prepared \"menu\", the order is passed via the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Pentagon's war room and then, using sealed authentication codes, on to US Strategic Command HQ in Offutt Airbase in Nebraska.\n\nThe order to fire is transmitted to the actual launch crews using encrypted codes that have to match the codes locked inside their safes.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe US and Russia both possess enough nuclear missiles to destroy each other's cities several times over - there are reported to be 100 US nuclear warheads aimed at Moscow alone. The two countries' arsenals account for more than 90% of the world's total number of nuclear warheads.\n\nAs of September 2016 Russia had the most, with an estimated 1796 strategic nuclear warheads, deployed on a mixed platform of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and strategic bombers.\n\nUnder a programme ordered by President Vladimir Putin, Moscow has recently invested billions of roubles in upgrading its strategic nuclear missile force, keeping an arsenal of constantly mobile ballistic missiles travelling through tunnels deep beneath the forests of Siberia.\n\nAmerica had, in September 2016, 1,367 strategic nuclear warheads, similarly deployed in land-based underground missile silos, which by their static nature are vulnerable to a first strike, at sea onboard submarines, where they are harder to detect, and at airbases, where they can be loaded on to bombers.\n\nThe UK has about 120 strategic warheads, of which only a third are deployed at sea. The Royal Navy always keeps a portion of the nation's Trident nuclear force somewhere in the world's oceans, maintaining what is known as the continuous at sea deterrent.\n\nThe Topol is one of Russia's mobile ICBMs\n\nICBMs travel at a speed of over 17,000mph (Mach 23), flying high above the Earth's atmosphere before descending towards their pre-programmed targets at four miles a second.\n\nThe flight-time for land-based missiles flying between Russia and the US is between 25 and 30 minutes. For submarine-based missiles, where the boats may be able to approach a coast covertly, the flight time could be considerably shorter, even as little as 12 minutes.\n\nThis does not leave a president much time to decide whether it is a false alarm or imminent Armageddon. Once ICBMs have been launched they cannot be recalled, but if they remain in their silos they will probably be destroyed by the inbound attack.\n\nA former senior White House official told me recently that much would depend on the circumstances in which a nuclear strike was being considered.\n\nIf this was a long-term, measured policy decision to say, carry out a pre-emptive strike on country X, then a lot of people would be involved. The vice-president, National Security Adviser, and much of the cabinet would all be likely to be included in the decision-making process.\n\nBut if there was an imminent strategic threat to the United States, i.e. if an inbound launch of ICBMs from a hostile state had been detected and were minutes from reaching the US then, he said, \"the president has extraordinary latitude to take the sole decision to launch.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Many readers also described similar encounters on public transport and elsewhere. Here is a selection of their comments.\n\nI was travelling home from London to Newcastle with two children on a busy train. There was one man at a table with three empty seats. I realised he was sitting next to a conspicuous stack of porno mags and leafing through them. Everyone in the corridor had chosen to stand apart from him. \"Mummy!\" - my four-year-old daughter exclaimed loudly as she swung into the empty seat - \"that man has got pictures of ladies with big boobies!\". The porno man looked at her, looked at them, and crumpled. He put his mags in a bag and freed up the space next to him so that we could sit down. Hellen, Newcastle\n\nWhilst on a flight from Germany to Hong Kong a man in the next seat started up his laptop and was oblivious to the fact that his hardcore porn could be seen and heard by me and people in the next aisle. As a woman travelling on my own on an overnight flight, this made me extremely uncomfortable. I raised it with the purser - the man was moved and spoken to, apparently. As for the countless times I've witnessed this on the train, there's been no hope of anyone in authority sorting it out. You either have to move seats, say something and risk being verbally attacked, or seethe quietly until your stop. I'm not anti-men, anti-sex or anti-porn. Yet whenever I've raised this issue in the past, there's always someone ready to call me out for being a prude. I'm not. I just don't think porn has a place on public transport, or in any areas frequented by the general public. Annie G, UK\n\nI admit I've viewed online porn occasionally in the privacy of my own home, but even I was surprised and felt a little uncomfortable when the person on the next train seat began viewing very hardcore porn on his tablet. I ended up moving and informed the guard. He said he would \"have a word\" with the guy, and duly did, at which point the perpetrator (no doubt embarrassed) got up and moved. The guard apologised to me, then explained that this was an increasing problem. Lawrie, Sleaford\n\nThis happened to me on a train to London. I was shocked and offended. The man was watching porn video involving a yoga instructor, on his phone in the seat beside me. I decided to ask the man to stop watching the video because, like the man, I have free will and I could ask him to stop doing something I was uncomfortable with. Of course, he could refuse and I was prepared for that. As it happens, he obliged and actually apologised. It is not the law's role to protect people from offence. If we disagree with views, we must challenge these views and have an open debate, for that is the only way society can progress. Mel Lane, Guildford\n\nl was on a bus in Huddersfield working with a looked after child who was 14 years old at the time. My young person tapped me and pointed out the man sitting in front of us was watching \"disturbing stuff\". He was watching hardcore porn on a large screen. I quietly approached the man and asked him to either sit at the back or please turn it off, otherwise I would have to have very loud words with the driver. He looked horrified when l told him that a 14-year-old had pointed out what he was watching to me. He didn't say anything, he just turned his phone off and shoved it in his pocket. I still told the driver quietly when l was getting off. I left him having a word with him. I felt l had to say something as a professional, responsible adult and a mother. Annabel, Bradford\n\nWhen I was 14, I was on a plane with my dad. I had the middle seat and an unknown man was in the window seat with his computer. He was reading a lot of documents and then started watching porn. I was so shocked and then I got scared, like who does that in a plane? I've never told anyone about this, but I haven't forgotten it somehow. Lais, Brazil\n\nI went to McDonald's one evening with my wife and children. I sat at a large table while my wife and children went to the counter. A group of children aged between 12 and 14 were watching porn on a large iPhone with the sound on. I asked them to switch it off and received a cold shoulder. I insisted since I had young children or I would report them to the manager. Happily they switched it off before my children came. Paul Brown, Glasgow\n\nI was at an upmarket bar/restaurant having a meal with friends. At a table close by a man sitting on his own had his laptop out. I glanced at the screen and the man was searching porn websites full of pornographic explicit images of women. I was rather shocked, particularly as he was making no attempt to be discreet. It felt to me like a blatant case of sexual harassment to myself and my female friend. The waitress agreed to talk to him and he dimmed the screen. I said I would only be happy if it was turned off or we would leave. She went back to him and he closed his laptop and left. In my view a man wouldn't be able to expose himself in a restaurant so why should he be able to expose degrading images on his laptop?

VIDEO: From disgust to it's ok, Woman's Hour took to the streets to find out what you think of watching porn on buses\n\nI was standing on a packed tube train and a man was standing watching a porn movie on his phone. A boy, around 12 years old, realised what the man was watching and moved away. I tapped the man on the shoulder and very loudly asked why he was watching porn in a public place with children around? All he could reply with was \"you shut up\" and [swore at me]. I told him loudly to stop watching porn and switch it off but he refused. He said it was his personal right. Only my 16-year-old daughter supported me and told him to stop. Nobody else joined in or tried to help me. His behaviour was very threatening. I wanted to take his photo but was worried about his reaction. It wasn't until after he left the train at Leicester Square that other passengers congratulated me on standing up to him. I was so angry I reported the incident to Transport Police. They said if they managed to identify him he would be prosecuted for causing public outrage. Sharon Forbes, Chippenham\n\nI am a Traffic PCSO working for the Met Police on Safer Transport. There was a young male looking at a gay porn magazine. As there were young children on the bus I asked him to put the magazine away. He refused and called me \"homophobic.\" I then requested the driver of the bus to pull over and I evicted the passenger from the bus and told him my thoughts. I could have gone down the route of a Section 5 of the Public Order Act - causing harm, alarm or distress. I would recommend anyone to challenge someone looking at porn on a bus, if its causing them distress. Anonymous\n\nI was on an overland train and a man, about 25 years old and wearing a hoodie, was watching porn on his mobile as we waited for the train to depart. The speaker was turned up and it was obvious from the sounds that it was a man and woman having sex. The young man appeared to be oblivious to the rest of us. Two women got up and moved to the next carriage. None of us said anything, it was obvious looking around that most of us felt considerable discomfort. The train departed and as the sound of the tracks and its engine increased, he turned up the volume on his mobile.

The company helps young people out of poverty by training them as chefs and creates its dishes out of food surplus that otherwise would have been thrown away.\n\nIt neatly illustrates the point that a staggering one third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, around 1.3bn tonnes, which if used could help address the issue.\n\nBut Mr Brown's target is not the Davos elites but the masses.\n\nThe firm he set up almost seven years ago - Impossible Foods - is aiming to make the perfect meatless burger for \"the hardcore meat lover\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe 62-year-old came up with the idea during a sabbatical. Freed from admin and teaching responsibilities, instead of hitting the beach he pondered what was the most important problem in the world he could do something about.\n\nThe issue he hit upon was animal farming due to its environmental impact.\n\nWhile he personally has been a vegan for years, he said this was a personal choice and had nothing to do with his decision.\n\nRattling off statistics staccato style he says the sector uses a third of the world's water supply and land, with the greenhouse gas impact second only to the power industry.\n\nBut while startling, he admits such facts won't change people's minds or behaviour, or persuade them to eat \"cardboard food\".\n\nInstead, he decided to try to solve the problem scientifically.\n\n\"A different way of looking at it is that it's not a problem that people love meat and dairy products. The problem is that we produce them using animals, which is completely inefficient,\" he says.\n\nSo he set his mind to creating a burger - with the same nutritional value, taste and texture of ground beef - just without using an animal.\n\nThe vegan pattie is made from wheat, coconut oil, potatoes and, crucially, heme\n\nThe Californian firm's 70 scientists doing research and development treated the issue in the same manner as a biomedical one, says Mr Brown, figuring out the problem and working out what exactly it was in meat that made it so appealing.\n\n\"We needed to understand it in actionable terms so we could make deliberate choices to deliver those characteristics to consumers,\" he says.\n\nThe magic ingredient turned out to be a compound called heme. Their research identified this as the thing which made meat distinct, giving it a richer taste and its bloody, red colour.\n\nThe firm has now figured out a way to produce heme on a large scale cost effectively by using fermentation.\n\nSo far the resulting burger is available in just four high-end restaurants, although Mr Brown says this will soon expand to seven.\n\nThe decision to choose expensive restaurants seems at odds with his desire to persuade the masses to ditch meat. But Mr Brown argues that strategically it makes sense.\n\n\"We can only produce small volume so we have to get maximum brand building from every pound of product we make,\" he says.\n\nThe vegan burger is currently only sold in four high-end restaurants\n\nHe argues that by choosing well-known establishments - largely known for their meat offerings - it will help further the firm's name.\n\nBut you won't see \"vegan burger\" on the menu. \"It's divisive,\" says Mr Brown. Instead it's called the \"impossible burger\", with the small print explaining that the product is made from plants.\n\n\"People don't have to change their beliefs or buy into anything philosophically. The burden is on us to make a delicious and affordable burger,\" he says.\n\nBy the end of this year, production will ramp up, and he and his research and development team will double to 140 people.\n\nBut can it really compete with the mass market burger chains such as McDonald's and Burger King?\n\nMr Brown says he's already talking to places \"of that ilk\" but currently he remains focused on development rather than sales.\n\nPatrick Brown came up with the idea of the vegan burger during a sabbatical\n\nPushed on whether the burger can also compete on price, he is unequivocal.\n\n\"By the end of the year we will be selling the product at a price where thousands of restaurants can sell it to their customers at the same price range as other stuff, and we will make money on every pound of [fake] meat that we sell,\" he says.\n\nUltimately, he claims the cost of their burger will be \"substantially cheaper\" than a burger from a cow.\n\n\"The economics are so much in our favour.

Now it is a completely new relationship and there is no animosity.\n\n\"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.\"\n\nBBC Sport revealed on Monday that Bottas had signed a one-year contract, with options to extend it into subsequent seasons.\n\nWolff 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.\n\n\"We wouldn't have chosen Valtteri if we thought that he was not good enough to continue with the team,\" said Wolff.\n\n\"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.

Here are a few suggestions...\n\nAnt (stands on the left, a bit wacky), and Dec (stands on the right, giggles) were hardly at their best when they hosted the Brits last year.\n\nThe nadir was the moment when Ant \"mistakenly\" appeared on stage in a dress.

Just a reminder,\" she said, while riding on top of a giant banana. \"It's not how big the banana is - it's how you sit on it.\"\n\nWith new music to promote in 2017, could the star be coaxed into a repeat performance?\n\nIf only so they can go: \"On your marks, get set, DRAKE!\"\n\nBy hiring Michael Buble, the Brits were making a statement of intent: we want some showbiz, and we want a host a global audience will recognise. Adele is one of the only other stars that fits the bill.\n\nIn many ways, Adele is the Brits. From the stop-you-in-your-tracks performance of Someone Like You to the moment last year when she tearfully accepted an award from Tim Peake in outer space.\n\nShe's funny, she's charismatic, and there's 0% chance she'll do it.

He stood down three years ago, telling the Radio Times he didn't want to outstay his welcome.\n\n\"There are award shows where it actually becomes a plus that it's hosted by the same person,\" he said. \"But the Brits should always have an energy about them that is fresh and new and exciting.\"\n\nBut imagine if the whole Brits ceremony was an extended episode of Carpool Karaoke?

But, seeing as he's already presenting the Grammys a week before, extremely unlikely.\n\nThe Brits have often looked to comedians to provide a bit of frisson - notably Russell Brand, who outraged (some) viewers in 2007 with his references to the Queen's \"naughty bits\" and Amy Winehouse's drinking problem (\"her surname's beginning to sound like a description of her liver\".)\n\nOf the current crop of stand-ups, Jack Whitehall has both the profile and the requisite irreverence.

Washington DC will be whirl of parties, galas and balls.\n\nThe celebrities may be skipping it this year but the US capital will still swing to the sound of clinking glasses and popping corks. Across the country, celebrating Trump supporters will toast his swearing-in with a drink while others will numb their nerves with booze.\n\nAround the world, alcohol will help with this historic transition. In north London, for instance, the Old Queens Head pub is throwing an Armageddon-themed party to mark the start of Donald Trump's presidency.\n\nBut the man himself will not be boozing through his first hours as the most powerful politician in the world. In fact, he won't touch a drop of alcohol on Friday night or on any day of his presidency.\n\n\"I've never had a drink,\" Donald Trump told Fox News after his election last November. Unlike George W Bush, who was teetotal in office after giving up booze on his 40th birthday, Mr Trump has eschewed alcohol his whole life, making him a first among modern US presidents.\n\nDonald Trump's teetotalism stems from the early death of his older brother Freddie\n\nThe reason for Mr Trump's sobriety is because his adored older brother Freddie died of illness stemming from alcoholism at the age of 42. \"It was a very tough period of time,\" he said, that convinced him never to drink.\n\n\"If you don't start you're never going have a problem. If you do start you might have a problem. And it's a tough problem to stop,\" Mr Trump told Fox.\n\nWhat is fascinating is his view that one drink could spiral into addiction. He discussed his fear that he might have a gene that would make moderate drinking impossible.\n\nHis approach to alcohol is also a window into a personality that appears to crave control over others. Mr Trump ordered his children to follow his example. Every day he would drum the message into them: No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. \"I've been very tough on my children with respect to drink,\" he said.\n\nSo how do the teetotal presidents compare with those who enjoyed the pleasures of a drink? George W Bush went dry after years of heavy boozing and swapped a compulsion for drink for an obsession with fitness.\n\nRemembered largely for the invasion of Iraq, George W's foreign policy record might not be seen as the best advertisement for a teetotal presidency.\n\nFranklin Roosevelt (right) had a particular reverence for \"cocktail hour\"\n\nNor might the idealistic but muddled foreign policy of Jimmy Carter, another teetotal president. Life in the Carter White House was drearily dry and a chore for its more sociable visitors.\n\nSenator Ted Kennedy remembered arid evenings of earnest discussion. \"You'd arrive about 6.00 or 6.30pm, and the first thing you would be reminded of, in case you needed reminding, was that he and Rosalynn had removed all the liquor in the White House. No liquor was ever served during Jimmy Carter's term. He wanted no luxuries nor any sign of worldly living,\" Kennedy wrote.\n\nThe moderate drinkers fare better. Franklin D Roosevelt frequently tops the list of America's greatest presidents, the commander-in-chief who defeated the Great Depression and led the US through World War Two.\n\nThroughout these turbulent years, FDR kept a martini close at hand and prized the rituals of cocktail hour, when he mixed stiff drinks for friends on his White House study desk. The conviviality of cocktail hour undoubtedly helped FDR unwind and briefly relieved the immense pressure he was under.\n\nJohn F Kennedy would occasionally sip a daiquiri but preferred women to wine and kept a clear head through the brinkmanship of the Cuban Missile Crisis. But other presidents were more reckless with their drinking.\n\nLyndon Johnson was well known in Washington for his capacity to guzzle Cutty Sark whisky and soda when he was Democratic majority leader in the Senate, a habit he took to the White House. Johnson, who told his doctor after a heart attack that the only things he enjoyed in life were \"whisky, sunshine and sex\", enjoyed entertaining at his Texas ranch where the booze flowed.\n\nLBJ's special assistant for domestic affairs, Joseph A Califano, remembered a ride around the ranch with the president: \"As we drove around we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The president drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large, white, plastic foam cup.\n\n\"Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon.\"\n\nBut the most disturbing picture of presidential drinking is provided by Richard Nixon, a man prone to morose self-pity who medicated his moods with booze.\n\nAccording to his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, Nixon's trouble was that a small amount of drink would set him off and late-night threats of military action were made when the president was the worse for wear.\n\nWhen North Korea shot down a US spy plane in April 1969, an enraged Nixon allegedly ordered a tactical nuclear strike and told the joint chiefs to recommend targets. According to the historian Anthony Summers, citing the CIA's top Vietnam specialist at the time, George Carver, Henry Kissinger spoke to military commanders on the phone and agreed not to do anything until Nixon sobered up in the morning.\n\nBy the early 1970s, Watergate was beginning to choke Nixon's presidency and the president was relying more on drink and sleeping pills to cope with the pressure. On the evening of 11 October 1973, he was incapable of speaking to the British Prime Minister Edward Heath on the phone.\n\nHeath was keen to discuss the latest developments of the Arab-Israeli War but a transcript of the conversation between Henry Kissinger and his assistant Brent Scowcroft revealed the president was too drunk to talk to the prime minister.\n\nRichard Nixon was a warning to future presidents on the danger of mixing hubris with drink. He is a reminder too of the awesome executive power a US president has when it comes to conducting foreign affairs.\n\nWith no previous political or military experience, Donald Trump is unlike any incoming president. His hubris is clear to all and his (sober) stream of excitable tweets prove an impetuous temperament.\n\nNixon's example might make us grateful booze is not in the mix too.

Amol Rajan reports on the launch of the Westmonster website\n\nArron Banks, the former UKIP donor who bankrolled the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, is making a move into the media sector by backing an anti-establishment news website.\n\nI can reveal that Westmonster is co-owned by Michael Heaver, former press adviser to Nigel Farage. The 27-year-old, who together with Mr Banks will own 50% of the website, will edit it day to day.\n\nModelled on the Drudge Report, the American aggregator site that generates huge traffic, Westmonster will be powered by the social media reach of Leave.EU, the campaign to which Mr Banks gave close to £7m - the largest donation in British political history.\n\nLeave.EU has nearly 800,000 followers on Facebook and Mr Heaver believes he can use that base to generate substantial traffic from day one.\n\nWestmonster will publish some original news, and Mr Heaver hopes to enlist more celebrity writers than backbench MPs.\n\nThe site will launch with an article from Nigel Farage, and Mr Heaver is open about wanting to ape the opinionated, anti-establishment, highly provocative tone of Breitbart.\n\nThis launch is significant for several reasons. It shows that the anti-establishment media which helped to power the campaign of Donald Trump is coming to Britain.\n\nIt's no coincidence that Westmonster is launching the day before Mr Trump's inauguration - an event that will be attended, almost alone among Brits, by Nigel Farage, Arron Banks, and Mr Banks's business associate Andy Wigmore, who are together hosting a celebratory party on Saturday night in a hotel across the road from the White House.\n\nBanks has booked out an entire floor of the Hay-Adams Hotel on Saturday night, and - logistics permitting - the plan is for the new President to attend, along with his close friend the Governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant.\n\nIt also marks a significant acceleration of Mr Banks's involvement in British public life.\n\nI spent time with him in the nondescript offices of his insurance company on the edge of Bristol on Tuesday, with a Premier Inn on one side and the M4-M5 junction on the other.\n\nArron Banks donated millions to the Brexit campaign\n\nHe is an extremely intriguing character, as this superb profile for Radio 4 pointed out.\n\nHe tweets vigorously and his politics do not fit into the anachronistic right-left spectrum through which so much of Westminster is still naively interpreted.\n\nFor instance, he favours nationalisation of Britain's railways and some utilities over their present near-monopoly status, harbours a visceral hatred of many Tories, and has had several conversations with Labour MPs about wooing them over to the populist Momentum-style movement that he intends to launch in the coming months.\n\nI also revealed in December that he has expressed interest in more traditional media - that is, The Daily Telegraph.\n\nNow, as I put to him yesterday, he has become Britain's latest media baron.

He believes errors in the reporting of Muslims have become all too common, and has made it his mission to fight for corrections.\n\nMiqdaad Versi sits in front of a rather geeky-looking spreadsheet at the offices of the Muslim Council of Britain in east London.\n\nHe is the organisation's assistant secretary general, but the task in front of him is a personal project.\n\nThe spreadsheet has on it every story published concerning Muslims and Islam that day in the British media - and he is going through them looking for inaccuracies.\n\nIf he finds one, he will put in a complaint or a request for a correction with the news organisation, the press regulator Ipso, or both.\n\nMr Versi has been doing this thoroughly since November, and before that on a more casual basis. He has so far complained more than 50 times, and the results are visible.\n\nHe was personally behind eight corrections in December and another four so far this month.\n\nMiqdaad Versi tweets diagrams showing corrections and apologies made following his complaints\n\nIn the past, corrections to stories were mostly printed when individuals were the victims of inaccurate reporting, but Mr Versi is looking at a whole topic.\n\n\"Nobody else was doing this,\" he tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. \"There have been so many articles about Muslims overall that have been entirely inaccurate, and they create this idea within many Muslim communities that the media is out to get them.\n\n\"The reason that's the case is because nobody is challenging these newspapers and saying, 'That's not true.'\"\n\nWatch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.\n\nMr Versi goes through some of the corrections from December. Five of them concerned a review into integration by Dame Louise Casey. The Sunday Times reported that \"Enclaves of Islam see UK as 75% Muslim\" in a preview of the review.\n\nThis was incorrect, with the review actually citing a survey of pupils in one largely Asian school who thought 50-90% of the population in Britain were Asian.\n\nThe paper corrected the article, and later apologised. As the same story was reported in other publications, it led to five corrections.\n\nMr Versi highlights another article, concerning the Muslim president of the National Union of Students (NUS). She was accused on Mail Online of refusing to condemn so-called Islamic State, when she had openly done so.\n\nAlso in December, he points out a report in the Sun on Sunday confused the identities of two Muslim individuals - one fighting against extremism and one accused of extremism.\n\nHe has met several newspaper editors and has been pleased with the quick corrections he has received in some cases.\n\nBut he is concerned that these revisions are not obvious enough to the reader.\n\n\"Sometimes the corrections lack a clear acknowledgement of the error they made and often do not include an apology. In addition, they are rarely given the prominence of the original article,\" he says.\n\nHe adds that while he is concerned with \"significant failings\" in the reporting of Muslims, the same issues \"might also be replicated for refugee, migrant or other groups\".\n\nOne particularly high-profile correction in December last year - that Mr Versi was not behind - involved a 2015 article in which Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins wrongly suggested Zahid Mahmood and his brother were extremists with links to al-Qaeda, after they had not been allowed to board a plane to the US.\n\nThe Mail Online and Ms Hopkins apologised and paid £150,000 in damages.\n\nAt his home in Walthamstow, north-east London, Mr Mahmood says he has forgiven her. He now says it is not her original false accusations that he finds the most upsetting, but the public reaction.\n\n\"First they were all against us when Katie Hopkins published the article, and then when she made the apology a year later - then they all turn against her.\n\n\"There's no middle ground. It's not just about Katie Hopkins, it's the mindset of people - how they can very easily be led against somebody, or in favour of somebody.\"\n\nZahid Mahmood says he holds \"no grudge\" against Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins\n\nMr Mahmood says he feels this kind of reaction is causing divisions in society, and - keen to do his bit for unity - tells the BBC he is formally inviting Katie Hopkins to his home for tea and coffee.\n\n\"We have no grudge against her, and we would like her to learn and know that we are as British as she is.\n\n\"In fact, my wife's grandfather and great-grandfather both fought in World War One and World War Two. They fought for the very freedom of this country.\"\n\nMr Versi says he wants to improve community relations too. He thinks inaccurate reporting has far-reaching consequences, especially because negative stories are often widely circulated by far-right groups and then the corrections are not.\n\nSome free speech campaigners, however, are concerned about this kind of work. Tom Slater, deputy editor of Spiked Online, says these complaints could create a fear of reporting certain issues.\n\n\"I, like anyone else, want a press that's going to be accurate... but what we're seeing here is quite concerted attempts to try and often ring-fence Islam from criticism.\"\n\nMr Slater says he found a recent correction to a story about a suspected \"honour killing\" particularly problematic.\n\nTom Slater worries such complaints are attempts to \"ring-fence Islam from criticism.\"\n\nIn May 2016, the Mail Online and the Sun used the phrase \"Islamic honour killing\" in their headline.\n\nMr Versi successfully complained to Ipso that Islam does not condone honour killings and that the phrase incorrectly suggested it was motivated by religion.\n\nThe word \"Islamic\" was removed from the papers' headlines, and at the bottom of the articles they wrote: \"We are happy to make clear that Islam as a religion does not support so-called 'honour killings.'\"\n\nMr Slater says he found that statement added by the papers \"absolutely staggering\".\n\n\"We all know a religion is just an assortment of ideas and principles. What these papers were effectively asked to do, and what they did do, was to print one accepted interpretation of a religion - and to me this was just like backdoor blasphemy law.\"\n\nMr Versi, however, insists his work is about ensuring the facts are right - not silencing critics.\n\nHe says there are many examples where Muslims can be rightly criticised and he is not complaining about those.\n\n\"All I'm asking for is responsible reporting.\"", "The father of the alkaline diet, Robert O Young, is hailed as an inspiration by one of the UK's most popular food writers, Natasha Corrett, but he faces a jail sentence for practising medicine without a licence.

She fought to get through selection for Sandhurst. She fought through Sandhurst and she fought her way through her life in everything she dealt with - army skiing or whatever it may have been. And this for her was another fight in that long list of victories.\"\n\nAs her medical options were limited, Naima did what many of us would do - she turned to the internet for a solution.\n\nShe came across Dr Robert O Young, an American alternative health writer selling a message of hope for cancer patients online.\n\nNaima began an email correspondence with him, which reveals how pseudo-science can be used to manipulate the vulnerable.\n\nYoung is the author of a series of books called the pH Miracle, which has sold more than four million copies around the world.\n\nThese books lay out his \"alkaline approach\" to food and health which has influenced many others, including the work of the British clean-eating guru Natasha Corrett, whose Honestly Healthy brand promotes her take on an alkaline diet.\n\nIn one email Young sent to Naima in July 2012, he told her \"there is a great need for a daily regime focused on… hyper-perfusing the blood with alkalinity\". He went on: \"I would suggest your healing program is going to take at least 8 - 12 weeks. It will not be easy but you will be in a controlled environment that will give you the care you need.\"\n\nNaima set about raising the money she would need - in one email Young mentioned a figure of $3,000 (£2,440) per day.\n\nNaima's family used their savings, ran fund-raising events and managed to pull together tens of thousands of pounds with the help of a charity so that Naima could be treated by Young.\n\nBut the treatment did not have the outcome she was hoping for.\n\nOn one recent sun-kissed Californian morning, we drove up into the hills outside San Diego to visit Young. As we turned off Paradise Mountain Road, the parched golden grass eventually gave way to groves of avocado trees and we entered a millionaire's paradise known as the \"pH Miracle Ranch\".\n\nThe front door, preposterously set behind a moat, is reached by walking across some stone slabs.\n\nAs Young welcomed us into the ranch, our eyes were drawn to an empty spherical fish-tank built into the wall that separated the living area from the kitchen.\n\nNoting our interest, he began to share his alkaline view of the world, starting with what he calls the fish-bowl metaphor. \"If the fish is sick - what would you do? Treat the fish or change the water?\"\n\nHe went on: \"The human body in its perfect state of health is alkaline in its design.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe pH of our blood is 7.4, which is slightly alkaline, so Young is broadly correct - although different compartments of our bodies, such as our stomach, function at very different pHs.\n\nBut then Young's \"alkaline living\" vision becomes complete fantasy. Young believes that in order to maintain the pH of our blood, we have to eat \"alkaline\" foods.\n\nThe main problem with this view is that it doesn't appear to take into account the stomach, which functions at a pH of about 1.5 and is the most acidic compartment in the body. Thus, everything we consume, regardless of its starting pH, becomes acidic before passing into the intestines.\n\nAlso, the categorisation of foods into alkaline or acidic does not appear to follow any consistent rules, with certain citrus fruits (full of citric acid) considered to be alkaline, for instance.\n\nHowever, Young's view that alkalinity is good and acidity is bad goes beyond food. He told us: \"All sickness and disease can be prevented by managing the delicate pH balance of the fluids of the body.\"\n\nHe believes that when your blood becomes acidic, something weird happens, and your blood cells transform into bacteria - a phenomenon he calls pleomorphism - thereby resulting in a diseased state.\n\nThis, frankly wild, view goes against all current scientific understanding.\n\nWhen we put this to him, he simply disagreed, saying: \"Germs are nothing more than the biological transformation of animal, human or plant matter. They're born out of that.\"\n\nDr Giles Yeo with Robert O Young at the \"pH Miracle Ranch\"\n\nThe biggest problem is that because Young believes that disease emerges from acidity, then by extension disease can be reversed with alkalinity - echoing his fish-bowl metaphor that you don't treat the disease, but you change the environment.\n\nWhen Young said Naima would be cared for in a controlled environment, he meant the pH Miracle Ranch, which has a large area set aside as a \"clinic\" to treat cancer.\n\nYoung told us he uses the term \"cancerous\" as an adjective to describe a state of acidity.\n\nSince 2005 he has brought more than 80 terminally ill patients to stay at his ranch for months at a time. Treatment has included intravenous infusions of an alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate - the same Arm and Hammer stuff you stick in your fridge to absorb smells.\n\nThis was the \"healing programme\" that was being sold to Naima.\n\nThere is no doubting the impact of Young's message. In an email, Naima wrote to him: \"I'll be pronounced text book perfect in a few months.\"\n\nAccording to her friend Afzal Amin: \"Naima was supremely confident that, with her willpower and this therapy, she would be healed. That was the overriding emotion in her that yes, I am going to better.\"\n\nWe put it to Young that someone like Naima, in a terminally ill state, who was desperate for a cure, would buy anything, try anything to help get better.\n\nHe responded: \"But I wasn't selling her anything… I didn't force her to come here, it was her decision.\"\n\nYet, in one email Young insisted on Naima paying for her treatment, before she stepped on to the plane.\n\nAll in all, Naima and her family paid Young more than $77,000 (£62,700) for the treatment.\n\nYoung told us: \"The doctors need to be paid and the people that are doing the massages need to be paid and the colonics, but I gave her the best price to make sure that those people were paid.\"\n\nThere is no evidence whatsoever that infusing an alkaline solution into your bloodstream will do anything against cancer. When we raised this with Young, he said: \"These things need to be studied.\"\n\nAfter about three months at Young's facility, her condition worsened and she was taken to hospital. Naima was brought back to the UK and died with her family. She was 27.\n\nAfzal Amin told us: \"They feel utterly betrayed. It's just horrific that somebody could exploit people for money. This is I think for them the most disturbing element, that for something as cheap as money he was just able to destroy people's lives.\"\n\nYoung's activities at the pH Miracle Ranch have not gone unnoticed by the authorities.\n\nIn 2011 the Medical Board of California began an undercover investigation after concerns were raised by a woman treated there.\n\nInvestigators were able to establish the prognosis of 15 cancer patients treated at the ranch - none of them outlived it.\n\nOne patient, Genia Vanderhaeghen, died from congestive heart failure - fluid around the heart - while being treated. Young told us he was \"out of town\" at the time.\n\nAccording to an invoice we obtained, she had been given 33 intravenous sodium bicarbonate drips, each charged at $550 (£448), over 31 days. Some were administered by Young himself.\n\nLast year Young was convicted of two charges of practising medicine without a license, and now faces up to three years in prison.\n\nIn court it was revealed that he is not a medical doctor and bought his PhD from a diploma mill.\n\nWe asked him if he felt remorse for what he had done. He said: \"I don't have remorse because of the thousands if not millions of people that have been helped through the [alkaline diet] programme.\"\n\nWe asked Natasha Corrett to comment on the influence of Robert Young on Honestly Healthy. She told us: \"We believe that our bodies should be fuelled with healthy and nutritious ingredients but we also believe that life is about having things in moderation.\"\n\nUpdate, October 2018: Robert O Young was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison in 2017 for practicing medicine without a license.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "The inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the US is on Friday.\n\nWhat does he represent? What might his presidency bring? In the second of two very personal viewpoints for BBC Newsnight, British-American author and blogger Andrew Sullivan argues there are lessons to be learnt from Plato.\n\nWatch the first opinion piece - from art critic and social commentator Roger Kimball - here", "Britain's newspapers are for the most part deeply hostile to the EU, and committed to making a success of Brexit.\n\nAt the same time, they have created a narrative about the referendum result which casts it as a victory for the common man and woman against a liberal, metropolitan establishment that counts the mainstream media - whatever that now means - as its weapon of choice.\n\nThis is one of the more pleasing ironies about the state of media in Britain today.\n\nA brief glance at this week's headlines gives ample evidence of what psychologists call confirmation bias - the tendency to interpret events in a way that accords with pre-existing prejudices.\n\nFor papers who backed Leave, Theresa May's speech showed a stern commitment to freedom and love of country. The Mail, Sun, Telegraph and Express, who between them have done most to advance the Brexit cause, lauded the prime minister's speech.\n\nThe Mail has been a strong backer of May, seeing her as much the most plausible Tory leader in the aftermath of David Cameron's resignation, and contrasting her ostensible gravitas with the lightweights in her cabinet. Just for clarity, I'm paraphrasing the Mail's position there rather than mine, and doing so based on several conversations with the most senior figures there.\n\nPicture choices matter so much in newspapers. I must say I am a very big fan of cartoons on front pages, as this Charlie Hebdo front page from my previous job shows you, and the Mail's use of a cartoon to show the prime minister looking defiant in a way redolent of the Dad's Army title sequence achieves its desired effect.\n\nSimilarly the Sun has her looking cheerful next to supportive furniture (the headline and sub-headline).\n\nThe Telegraph and the Guardian use similar pictures but by using a much tighter crop, a blue background and a positive headline, the Telegraph seem to endorse the prime minister; whereas the Guardian seem to issue scepticism about her chances of success. Interestingly, the Financial Times, which like the Guardian backed Remain, also uses exactly the same picture, albeit with a different crop. Their headline, being longer than most of the others, equivocates.\n\nWednesday's front pages alone provide ample evidence of the way the same events are interpreted in wildly different ways by different newspapers - always and without fail in accordance with their prejudices.\n\nIn some ways, Fleet Street, as romantics like me still sometimes call it, is basically the industrialisation of confirmation bias.\n\nDoes that matter, when newspapers are in swift decline?\n\nOf course it does, and hugely so. Despite their perpetual shrinkage, newspapers are still read by millions of people across Britain.\n\nMoreover, they exert huge - some would argue disproportionate - influence on the news agenda of broadcasters like the BBC, Sky and ITV.\n\nAnd in my experience, Westminster is still obsessed, to a really bizarre degree, with trying to influence newspapers.\n\nThis was perhaps understandable 20 years ago; but today, when fake news goes viral, it seem strange to me how much politicians care about headlines on page 17 of daily publications.\n\nAnd yet they do. Which is why the other important point about Fleet Street is that it is strongly weighted toward Brexit, and in that sense in touch with voters who, albeit by a small margin, voted to Leave.\n\nMost papers are delighted with the referendum result and support the prime minister. Given the sheer complexity of Brexit negotiations, it's lucky for Theresa May that, despite having backed Remain herself, she can generally count on Britain's newspapers to back her every move in Brussels.\n\nThat is not a luxury many previous prime ministers have enjoyed.", "MPs agree to a government proposal to extend the deadline to restore devolution until 29 June.", "Last updated on .From the section Squash\n\nMassaro, a former world number one, is through to the final in New York England's Laura Massaro beat compatriot Sarah-Jane Perry to reach the women's final of the Tournament of Champions.

The BBC's Helier Cheung, who sang in the handover ceremony, shares her personal reflections on the last two decades.\n\nAs a child, you don't always appreciate when you're witnessing history.\n\nOn 1 July 1997, I was part of the choir singing in the handover, in front of China's leaders and millions of viewers around the world.\n\nIt was a historic day. But I was nine at the time, so my most vivid memories were:\n\nAll of us in the choir had grown up speaking Cantonese. So singing in Mandarin felt both familiar and unfamiliar - it signified a culture we recognised, but did not grow up with.\n\nIn 1997, I (second from left) got to sing in the handover ceremony\n\nNearly 20 years later, I was back in Hong Kong reporting for the BBC\n\nThere were lots of dancers with pink fans, and I remember China's then-President Jiang Zemin holding up a piece of calligraphy that read \"Hong Kong's tomorrow will be better\".\n\nBut that night, I saw on TV that some had been protesting against the handover. It was one of my first lessons about Hong Kong's divisions - some were happy to be part of China again, but others were afraid.\n\nI didn't always follow politics then, but politics still affected me. Some of my friends emigrated ahead of the handover, because their parents weren't sure about life under China.\n\nAnd 1997 was also the start of the Asian financial crisis, so I overheard adults talking about stock market crashes, and suicides.\n\nAs a child, it was more comforting to be oblivious about the news.\n\nEven as my friends and I went to secondary school, we rarely thought about developments in mainland China - we were teenagers after all.\n\nThis all changed in 2003. Hong Kong was hit by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) which travelled over from southern China.\n\nPeople started wearing face masks to protect themselves from Sars\n\nSuddenly whole buildings were being quarantined. School was cancelled - shortly before our exams - as well as our junior high ball.\n\nTo some, it almost seemed unfair - the virus had spread here after officials in mainland China covered up the outbreak.\n\nYet Hong Kong, which handled the outbreak more transparently, was the focus of a lot of international coverage, and was the city with the most deaths - nearly 300.\n\nMy friends and I became more pragmatic. We did everything we were told to - wearing face masks, disinfecting our hands and taking our temperatures before school each day.\n\nBut we kept meeting up in McDonald's after class, as we always did. One friend told me: \"If you die, you die, there's nothing you can do. You just need to do the best you can.\"\n\nBy summertime, Hong Kong was Sars-free. But another crisis, this time political, was rumbling.\n\nThe government wanted to introduce national security legislation, known as Article 23.\n\nIt would have outlawed treason, secession and sedition - words I had to look up - and allowed our government to outlaw groups banned in mainland China.\n\nThe bill struck a nerve. Although many countries outlaw treason and secession, to many Hong Kongers it reminded them too much of mainland China.\n\nOn 1 July 2003, half a million people, including some of my classmates, marched against the bill.\n\nA few days later, the government was forced to shelve Article 23, after one of its political allies, a pro-business party, withdrew its support.\n\nMy friends were jubilant, telling me they had \"made history\". Many felt that, although there was no democracy, it was possible to vote with their feet.\n\nMany people wore black to show their opposition to Article 23\n\nThe Sars outbreak and Article 23 row made local and Chinese politics seem more relevant to our daily lives.\n\nAnd by the late 2000s, mainland China felt more entwined with Hong Kong than ever.\n\nWhen I was a child, some of my classmates, somewhat cruelly, mocked \"mainlanders\" as people who squatted and were poor. But now, more people were learning Mandarin, and Hong Kong's economic future seemed to depend on China's.\n\nChina loosened travel restrictions, making it easier for mainland tourists to visit Hong Kong.\n\nIt gave the economy a much-needed boost, but resentment was also growing.\n\nI was studying abroad by then, but whenever I flew home I would hear people gripe about the sheer number of tourists, and how rude some appeared.\n\nMainlanders' shopping trips to Hong Kong have been a source of irritation to people in the city\n\nSome tourists bought up huge quantities of baby milk powder, leaving local parents without enough.\n\nI could no longer recognise many of the shopping malls my school friends and I used to frequent. We grew up with cheap jewellery stalls and snack shops - but now shopping centres were dominated by designer brands that wealthy Chinese tourists preferred.\n\nThe other big change was in politics. When I was at school, expressing an interest in politics was more likely to get you teased than admired.\n\nBut by 2012, students were holding hunger strikes to oppose a government attempt to introduce \"patriotic education\" classes.\n\nAnd in 2014, something surprising, almost unthinkable, happened. Tens of thousands of people, led by students, took over the streets, demanding full democracy.\n\nGrowing up, it was easy to avoid talking about politics.\n\nBut with protesters sleeping in the streets for weeks, the subject was suddenly unavoidable.\n\nFamilies and friends started arguing - in person and on Facebook - and \"unfriending\" people they disagreed with.\n\nSupporters felt it was worth sacrificing order and economic growth for true democracy, but critics accused the protesters of \"destroying\" Hong Kong.\n\nOne woman told me her relatives were angry she took part in the protests and now, two years later, they still didn't want to meet her for dinner. \"Hong Kong's become so split,\" she said.\n\nHong Kong was split between \"yellow ribbons\" who supported the protesters, and \"blue ribbons\" who supported the police\n\nRecently, after years in the UK, I got to return to Hong Kong as a reporter.\n\nA lot feels the same. The territory is still clean, efficient, and obsessed with good food.\n\nBut young people seem more pessimistic - with politics and soaring house prices their main bugbears.\n\nSurveys suggest young people are the unhappiest they have been in a decade - and that up to 60% want to leave.\n\nRecently, some have even started to call for independence from China, frustrated with Beijing's influence and the lack of political reform.\n\nTheir resentment stems from Hong Kong's handover or even the Sino-British negotiations in the 1980s.\n\n\"We were never given a choice,\" one activist said. \"No-one ever asked Hong Kongers what they wanted.\"\n\nProtests have become angrier. Most demonstrations I witnessed growing up were peaceful - even festive.\n\nNow, some rallies are more confrontational and prone to clashes, while the government seems less willing to make concessions.\n\nPro-Beijing and pro-democracy protesters sometimes end up clashing\n\nIt's not surprising that, in an online poll run by a pro-government party, people chose \"chaos\" as the word to describe Hong Kong's 2016.\n\nFrom violent protests, to legislators swearing and scuffling in parliament, politics has definitely been chaotic at times.\n\nBut, chaotic or not, what really strikes me about Hong Kong is how alive and adaptable it is.\n\nHong Kong's streets are busy late into the night\n\nWhether in business or politics, Hong Kong is full of people fighting to be heard.\n\nLocal entrepreneurs are constantly devising controversial or creative ways to make money - such as renting out \"capsule units\" in their homes, or starting a rabbit cafe.\n\nAnd, even as artists complain of pressure to self-censor, pop music has become more political and fresh news websites and satirical news channels have popped up.\n\nHong Kong may be a relatively small territory with a population of 7.3 million, but I love the fact it has never lost its ability to surprise me.\n\nHelier Cheung's report can also be heard on From Our Own Correspondent", "An Italian rescue official has said that a number of people have been killed after a hotel was hit by an avalanche, apparently triggered by an earthquake on Wednesday.\n\nRescuers battled overnight to reach the hotel close to the Gran Sasso mountain in the Abruzzo region.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nKonta reached the semi-finals in Melbourne last year Coverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website. Britain's Johanna Konta eased through to the Australian Open third round but Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund both lost in the second round in Melbourne. Watson had five match points but was knocked out 2-6 7-6 (7-3) 10-8 by American qualifier Jennifer Brady. Edmund, hoping to join Andy Murray and Dan Evans in the last 32, lost 6-2 6-4 6-2 to Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.\n• None Dan Evans' exciting form, injury worries and inspiring the next generation Konta, who will now face Denmark's 17th seed Caroline Wozniacki on Saturday, faced one of the most promising players in the women's game. The big-serving Osaka, ranked 48th, had a chance to break Konta in the eighth game but missed a forehand and then looked on helplessly as the Briton fired down two aces to hold serve. Konta took advantage of her opponent's loss of focus to break to love and then served out the opening set in clinical fashion. The Briton dominated the second set to secure her 10th win of 2017. \"I love playing on these amazing courts and I'm looking forward to staying here as long as possible,\" she said. Johanna Konta is looking every bit the contender. She has one of the best serves in the women's game, moves well, defends much better and plays well off both sides. She looks confident, determined and focused. She has a strong team in her corner and is in a very good position to go far in this competition. Watson fails to take her chances Watson was bidding to equal her best run at a major tournament Watson, 24, should have joined Konta in the third round but was unable to clinch victory against the world number 116. The British number two, ranked 35 places higher than Brady, took the first set without any fuss and was on course to win in straight sets, only to be broken when serving at 5-4. She lost the tie-break and from there her 21-year-old opponent grew in confidence during a final set which lasted 86 minutes. Watson had two break points in the fourth game, five more in the fifth, which she led 40-0 but failed to see out, and two more in the eighth but Brady survived them all. At 6-5, the Briton had three match points on Brady's serve but squandered all of them as the American levelled. Watson had her fourth and fifth match points at 8-7 but two strong serves ensured Brady again held on. Watson served a double fault to hand Brady a 9-8 lead and although the Briton saved two match points on the American's serve she could not stop a third as her opponent sealed victory. \"It was a tough day especially because of the scoreline and having match points,\" said Watson. \"It's one of the worst ways to lose.\" Edmund recorded six double faults and failed to take any of his six break-point opportunities The British number two produced an impressive victory to reach the second round but was unable to maintain that form against the 30th seed. Edmund, 22, made too many errors and could not match the power of his opponent's serve, as he lost in an hour and 46 minutes. He won the first game of the match on serve but then lost the next five. At 5-2, Edmund called the trainer for treatment on his left foot, but it did not affect the momentum of the match as he netted a forehand on set point in the next game. Edmund failed to take his first break point in the second game of the second set, and then double-faulted to hand Carreno Busta a break in the seventh game. Edmund had chances to level the set in the 10th game, but Carreno Busta produced two big serves and took the set after surviving two further break points. Two unforced errors and a double fault handed the Spaniard a break in the fifth game of the third set and the contest was effectively over when Carreno Busta got a second break two games later. \"I thought I was a little bit short of patience, a little bit mentally, and also trying to rush to finish the point,\" Edmund said. \"My game is aggressive and most days I think I get the balance right, but today I didn't.\" Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.", "Psychology is always part of tense negotiations. In her Lancaster House speech this week Theresa May sought to seize back the advantage before the real battles start at the end of March. She wanted Europe to know that Britain would not be coming to meetings on the defensive, cap in hand.\n\nDuring the 40 minutes of her speech she managed to shift the balance of power a little. A few days before she spoke I had been in Brussels and had spoken to a very senior European figure.\n\nHe was pessimistic. Mrs May, in his view, did not have a good relationship with other European leaders. He thought the negotiations could \"go wrong from the start\" and was in no doubt that in those circumstances the UK would be the loser.\n\nHe pointed out that Brexit was not high on the agenda for voters in the other 27 EU states. It was a way of saying that in the forthcoming negotiations the UK was the needy one. Britain would have to compromise.\n\nWhat he reflected is the widely-held view in the EU that the divorce will be messy, that real damage will be done to the British economy.\n\nMrs May chose to exude confidence. The UK was determined to become a \"champion of world trade\" and was unafraid of negotiations turning difficult. The message was delivered with clarity and was intended to shape the mindset of those with whom Britain would be negotiating.\n\nDonald Trump has intimated that he wants a fast-track trade deal with the UK\n\nTwo factors had strengthened Mrs May's hand. Firstly, the intervention of Donald Trump. The president-elect declared he was willing to fast-track a trade deal with the UK. There was no more talk about Britain being consigned to the back of the queue.\n\nSecondly, and most importantly, the British economy has performed much better than was predicted. Consumer confidence has remained high and crucially the economy has bought Mrs May some political space and strengthened her hand.\n\nHer speech was conciliatory in part. She made it clear she wanted the EU to succeed and did not seek the unravelling of the European Union and wanted Britain to \"remain a good friend\".\n\nThat was an important gesture because it is quite clear that some of those who backed Brexit would relish the break-up of the EU. And her stance was in marked contrast to that of Mr Trump who predicted last weekend that \"others would leave\" and that it would be difficult to keep the EU together. One EU ambassador to the UK said it sounded like Nigel Farage had briefed Mr Trump.\n\nWhat Mr Trump has done is to encourage European leaders to circle the wagons by accusing Angela Merkel of making a \"catastrophic mistake\" with her welcoming of refugees, so chipping away at her authority. Mrs May, in contrast, was offering to be a good neighbour.\n\nBut, much as she offered friendship, there was no disguising the fist inside the gloved hand. If there was any attempt to punish the UK for breaking away it would do \"calamitous self-harm\" she said and \"would not be the act of a friend\".\n\nSlovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has warned against an agreement that would strengthen the UK at the expense of the EU\n\nBritain, if necessary, would go it alone. \"No deal would be better than a bad deal.\" It was an attempt to seize the psychological advantage in the talks, by reducing the threat of them failing.\n\nShe was clear that the UK was leaving the single market but sought a \"bold and ambitious free trade agreement\". If that was denied and high tariffs were introduced then Europe's leaders would have to answer to their voters.\n\n\"I do not believe,\" she said, \"that the EU's leaders will seriously tell German exporters, French farmers, Spanish fishermen… that they want to make them poorer, just to punish Britain and make a political point.\"\n\nThat was a way of saying that if the talks turned ugly then all sides would suffer damage but that Britain would not flinch from telling European voters that their leaders were putting ideology above economic self-interest.\n\nThis is an important undercurrent to the negotiations. I have never seen Europe's leaders so unsure and anxious about the future of the European project. They genuinely fear that if another country was to leave it would mark the end of the EU. That is what underpins the unity they have shown so far.\n\nIt is also why they insist that Britain must not be able to walk away with a deal that was better than they would have got by staying on the inside. Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico said it would not be \"right for the 27 remaining EU countries to emerge weakened and Britain strengthened\".\n\nSo, in its negotiating strategy, the UK has to talk up the mutual economic benefits of compromise.\n\nRegarding the City of London, the message is that there is a mutual interest in its continued health. Here again, the UK is arguing that the EU needs access to pools of capital and it needs the financial skills that only the City offers.\n\nProtecting the pre-eminence of the City will be central to the UK's Brexit aims\n\nThe UK also wanted to leave a threat on the table: that if a deal could not be done the UK would take any measure to protect its economy, including turning it into a low tax area on the edge of mainland Europe.\n\nMay wanted to give her European audience some incentives. Firstly, that Europe needs the UK economy but also that it needed Britain's intelligence services and armed forces.\n\nShe was not offering security as a bargaining chip but she knew her pitch would resonate in parts of Eastern Europe and the Baltic States where they have grown uncertain of the Nato umbrella and are grateful for the sight of British forces on training exercises.\n\nThese are all strings that can be pulled as negotiations unfold over the next two years.\n\nFor all the strategy that lay behind Mrs May's speech, the headline that resonated around Europe was that Britain was leaving the single market. Some European papers accused Britain of turning inwards and of being \"Little Britain\".\n\nThe UK can live with those opinions but its position over the customs union is far more problematic. The UK wants to leave the customs union because it wants the freedom to negotiate trade deals with other countries. At the same time it wants to avoid tariffs and trade barriers.\n\nThe prime minister has spoken of negotiating associate membership of the customs union with special access for certain sectors like car manufacturing. This will be a tough part of the negotiations. To other EU states it looks like the cherry-picking they have vowed to resist.\n\nSecuring a trade agreement will take time and, almost certainly, some transitional arrangement. Mrs May, however, insists a trade deal can be negotiated within two years. That is hugely ambitious but she fears a transition would involve continuing to pay into the EU budget and accepting EU rules and that would be rejected by elements within her party.\n\nFailure, however, conjures up the danger of the UK going over the cliff edge without a deal. That is a powerful card for the other EU countries and for MEPs in the European parliament who will have to vote on all this.\n\nThe dilemma for the 27 EU members is this: they believe it is necessary to demonstrate that leaving the EU is painful and risky. The UK must be seen to suffer, but the question is whether they can do that without hurting themselves.\n\nWhat Mrs May did was to remind Europe that it does not hold all the cards. This was round one in the psychology of doing a deal.\n\nMany European leaders did not like the message and warned that \"Britain can't dictate the terms of separation\", with the President of the Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, saying it would be like negotiating not with an EU member but with a '\"third country\".", "Mona studied at the underground Bahai university 10 years after Shirin\n\nThe largest non-Muslim minority in Iran, the Bahais, are persecuted in many ways - one being that they are forbidden from attending university. Some study in secret, but for those who want to do a postgraduate degree the only solution is to leave their country and study abroad.\n\n\"I remember my father showing me the scars he had on his head from when he used to be beaten up by the children of his town on his way to school,\" says Shirin. \"So, of course, I didn't tell my father that I was experiencing the same when I was growing up in Iran in the 1980s. I knew he prayed and hoped that the world would get better.\"\n\nIn fact, persecution of the Bahais only increased following the Islamic Revolution in 1979.\n\nAnd when Shirin's son, Khosru, started going to school, she had to hide more bad news from her father.\n\n\"I did not tell him that the children of the children of the children who left him scarred, are now calling my son untouchable,\" she says.\n\nWhen, in the eighth grade, Khosru told the other children he was Bahai they dropped him like a stone.\n\n\"The kids wouldn't touch me,\" he says, \"and if I were to touch them, they'd go and take a shower.\"\n\nSince the creation of the Bahai faith in the mid-19th Century, the Iranian Shia establishment has called them \"a deviant sect\", principally because they reject the Muslim belief that Mohammed was the last prophet.\n\nOn official websites they are described as apostates, and as \"unclean\".\n\nBut it is when a student has finished school that the problems really begin.\n\nAs a Bahai, Shirin was told she could not enter university. Her only option was to secretly attend the Bahais' own clandestine university - the Bahai Institute for Higher Education (BIHE), set up in the mid-1980s by Bahai teachers and students who had been thrown out of Iranian universities after the revolution.\n\nUniversities are open to young women in Iran, but not if they are Bahai\n\nShirin enrolled in 1994. At that time, only two BA courses were available -in Science or Religious Studies - so she decided to study comparative religion.\n\nLectures took place in improvised classrooms in private homes all around Tehran. It took six years to complete her course, and it was then that she hit an impenetrable wall. There was no scope to do an MA or a PhD, and there was no scope for employment where her skills could be used.\n\nSoon afterwards, a wave of crackdowns on the Bahai intelligentsia began, with raids on clandestine classrooms and the arrest of many BIHE teachers. Shirin saw her world was closing in on her. So when she heard about a domestic worker's visa scheme in the UK, she jumped at it.\n\n\"I applied straight away without wasting time, it didn't matter what the visa was called. I had to leave,\" she says.\n\nShirin arrived in the UK in 2003 and combined her domestic work with an evening job at an Italian restaurant in Scarborough. But she never forgot what she came to do, what she must achieve.\n\nOn a dark and smoggy English morning, she boldly walked through the doors of Birmingham University, and announced that she had a degree in religion from an underground university in Tehran.\n\nTo her great surprise, a week later, she was summoned back and was offered a place.\n\nListen to Lipika Pelham's report on the Bahai, The World's Faith, for Heart and Soul on the BBC World Service\n\n\"It was more than a miracle - it was beyond expectation, beyond my wildest dream,\" she says. \"Till today, I feel it was the best reward I received for never compromising my faith.\"\n\nShirin finished her degree in 2006 and left the UK to join her brother in the US, where many of her family, friends and co-religionists have, over the years, found sanctuary from persecution.\n\nShirin (right) and a friend in New York\n\nBut soon another crackdown against the Bahais began, at home in Iran.\n\nIn 2008, seven members of the Bahai administrative body, Yaran, were arrested and charged with among other things, spying for Israel. After a trial in a Revolutionary Court in 2010, they were sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.\n\nAt this time another young Bahai woman, Mona, was applying to university in Tehran.\n\n\"I took an entrance exam at the University of Tehran - they were supposed to send a card saying how and where you should register if you were accepted, and you must write your religion on the card,\" she says.\n\n\"I wrote that I was not Muslim. There was an option that said 'other', and I ticked that box. There was no option for Bahai.\n\n\"When they sent back the card, they said, 'OK, you may register,' and in the place of religion, they wrote, Islam.\"\n\n\"In my belief, you're not supposed to lie about your faith even when facing death. So I wrote back, I was not Muslim. They said, 'Good luck, you can't enter university.'\"\n\nLike Shirin, Mona had only one option - the clandestine university, and it was an unforgettable experience.\n\n\"I remember the faces of all my friends who were coming from other cities in Iran, from far away,\" she says. \"It took them maybe 16 - 20 hours to get to Tehran. Their faces looked so tired.\n\n\"It was really hard. We had one class from 08:00 to 12:00 in the east of Tehran, and the second class from 14:00 to 18:00 on the west side - it was exhausting! Sometimes we didn't have physical teachers, we had them over Skype, who were teaching us from the US, Canada.\"\n\nAfter she graduated, she faced the same difficulties Shirin had experienced a decade earlier - and opted for a similar solution.\n\nIn 2009, she escaped to New York, via Austria, under an international religious refugee repatriation programme.\n\nWhen I met her recently in Joe's Coffee, a lively meeting place for students and teachers at Columbia University, she had just completed her MA in Psychology. She was over the moon.\n\n\"It feels amazing, I can't believe it's all done and I'll even have a graduation! When I graduated from the BIHE, they arrested all my teachers, Bahai teachers. And we never had a graduation day.\"\n\nThe US is home to one of the largest Bahai populations in the world, their presence dating back at least to 1912, when Abdul Baha, the son of the faith's founder, Baha'u'llah, spent 11 months in the country, promoting the religion.\n\nThe BIHE degrees are accepted by most US universities - as Mona's was at Columbia University - and many BIHE volunteers are based in the US.\n\n\"Students and instructors in Iran can end up in jail just for being students and instructors. So they are not only doing something that is hard for them to do, but dangerous to do,\" says Prof Thane Terril, a convert to the Bahai faith who now runs online teacher training courses for post-graduate students.\n\n\"The motivation for the students is like a person in the desert without water.\"\n\nSipping coffee in the café of the former hotel, Ansonia, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where Abdul Baha once stayed, Shirin says that she could never understand what the regime has against the Bahais.\n\n\"Abdul Baha emphasised that the East and West must meet,\" she says. \"I think the collective approach to life is what we think of as being the oriental or Eastern culture, and the individualist approach to life is considered to be Western. And when the two merge, you have a very beautiful culture.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "By 1934 Mary Anne MacLeod had become a glamorous New Yorker. This photo, was taken on the steps of a Long Island swimming pool\n\nDonald Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born and brought up on the Hebridean island of Lewis but emigrated to New York to live a very different life.\n\nMary Anne was one of tens of thousands of Scots who travelled to the US and Canada in the early years of the last century looking to escape economic hardship at home.\n\nShe first left Lewis for New York in 1930, at the age of 18, to seek work as a domestic servant.\n\nSix years later she was married to successful property developer Frederick Trump, the son of German migrants and one of the most eligible men in New York.\n\nThe fourth of their five children, Donald John, as he is referred to on the islands, is about to become US president.\n\nHis mother was born in 1912 in Tong, about three miles from Stornoway, the main town on the isle of Lewis.\n\nGenealogist Bill Lawson, who has traced the family tree of Mary Anne MacLeod back to the early 19th Century, says her father Malcolm ran a post office and small shop in his later years.\n\nDonald Trump's mother Mary Anne MacLeod, aged 14, sits on the windowsill of a house in the village of Tong\n\nEconomically, the family would have been slightly better off than the average in the township, he says.\n\nHowever, life during and after World War One, in which 1,000 islanders died, was very hard and many young people were leaving the Western Isles.\n\nLewis had also suffered the Iolaire disaster in 1919 when 200 servicemen from the island had drowned at the mouth of Stornoway harbour, coming home for the first new year of peace.\n\nMr Lawson says: \"Mary Anne MacLeod was from a very large family, nine siblings, and the move at that time was away from the island.\n\n\"The move by Viscount Leverhulme to revive the island had gone bust and there was not much prospect for young people.\n\n\"What else could she do?\"\n\nMr Lawson adds: \"Nowadays, you might think of going to the mainland but in those days most people went to Canada. It was far easier to make a life in America and many people had relatives there.\"\n\nThe genealogist says Mr Trump's mother was slightly different in that her sister Catherine, one of eight members of the MacLeod family to have emigrated to America, had moved from Canada to New York.\n\nWhen Catherine returned to Lewis for a visit in 1930, her 18-year-old sister Mary Anne went with her to look for work.\n\nIt appears that she found work as a nanny with a wealthy family in a big house in the suburbs of New York but lost the job as the US sank into depression after the Wall Street Crash.\n\nMary Anne returned briefly to Scotland in 1934 but by then she had met Fred Trump and soon returned to New York for good.\n\nThe couple lived in a wealthy area of Queens and Mary Anne was active with charity work.\n\nMary Anne en-route to America in the early 1930s\n\nDonald Trump still has three cousins on Lewis, including two who live in the ancestral home, which has been rebuilt since Mary Anne MacLeod's time.\n\nAll three cousins have consistently refused to speak to the media.\n\nJohn A MacIver, a local councillor and friend of the cousins, says: \"I know the family very well.\n\n\"They are very nice, gentle people and I'm sure they don't want all the publicity that's around.\n\n\"I quite understand that they don't want to talk about it.\"\n\nMr MacIver says Mary Anne MacLeod was well-known and much respected in the community and used to attend the church on her visits home.\n\nMr Trump's mother became a US citizen in 1942 and died in 2000, aged 88.\n\nBut she returned to Lewis throughout her life and always spoke Gaelic, Mr MacIver says.\n\nAccording to genealogist Bill Lawson, surnames are a relatively recent phenomenon on the islands and official records only go back to the early decades of the 19th Century.\n\nHis research took him back as far as John Roy MacLeod, which in Gaelic is Iain Ruaidh, named for a tendency to red hair.\n\nMary Anne Trump regularly returned to Lewis and spoke her native Gaelic language on her visits\n\nMary Anne Trump's paternal MacLeods came from Vatisker, a few miles further north of Tong.\n\nHer great-grandfather Alexander Roy MacLeod and his son Malcolm were thought to have drowned together while fishing in the 1850s.\n\nOn Mary Anne's mother's side, the Smiths were among the families cleared from South Lochs area of Lewis in 1826.\n\nThe period of the Highland Clearances on the mainland had largely missed Lewis but after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 some of the better lands for sheep-grazing on the island were cleared of tenants.\n\nIn most cases the displaced tenants were relocated elsewhere on Lewis rather than sent overseas.\n\nAccording to Mr Lawson, all four lines of Mary Anne MacLeod's maternal ancestry had been moved to Stornoway parish from elsewhere on the island as a result of the Clearances.\n\nHis research also found another fishing tragedy when Donald Smith was drowned in October 1868 after his boat was upset in a squall off Vatisker Point.\n\nHis widow was left with three children, of whom the youngest, Mary, Donald Trump's grandmother, was less than a year old.\n\nMary succeeded her mother at 13 Tong but it was the smallest of the crofts in Tong.\n\nAfter her marriage to Malcolm MacLeod, they were able to acquire the Smiths' original croft of 5 Tong and move there.\n\nDonald Trump's mother Mary Anne was the youngest of their 10 children.\n\nMary Anne Trump's billionaire son Donald visited the house in which his mother grew up, and his cousins in 2008.\n\nOn that trip, the now president-elect said he had been to Lewis once before as \"a three or four-year-old\" but could remember little about it.\n\nDonald Trump on a visit to Tong in 2008\n\nDonald Trump and his sister Maryanne (left) on their visit to Tong\n\nIt is estimated he spent 97 seconds in the ancestral home during his whistle-stop tour.\n\nAt the time, he said: \"I have been very busy - I am building jobs all over the world - and it's very, very tough to find the time to come back.\n\n\"But this just seemed an appropriate time, because I have the plane... I'm very glad I did, and I will be back again.\"\n\nDonald Trump next to a piper at the opening of The Trump International Golf Links Course in July 2012\n\nThe president-elect was accompanied by his eldest sister Maryanne Trump Barry, a US federal judge, who has regularly visited her cousins on Lewis.\n\nMr Lawson says: \"If you want to celebrate anyone, you should perhaps celebrate Maryanne, who has done a lot of work for the island.\n\n\"Donald arrived off a plane and then disappeared again. One photoshoot, that was it.\n\n\"I can't say he left much of an impression behind him.\"", "The CyberFirst competition aims to get more girls to consider a career fighting online crime\n\nTeenage girls who spend a lot of time online and on social media could become the UK's spies of the future, Britain's intelligence agency hopes.\n\nGCHQ is launching a competition with the aim of encouraging more girls to think about a career in cyber security.\n\nGirls aged 13 to 15 will compete in tests that will also cover logic and coding, networking and cryptography.\n\nWomen currently only make up 10% of the global cyber workforce, the agency says.\n\nThe competition is part of a five-year National Cyber Security Strategy announced in November 2016, and will be overseen by the new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).\n\nWorking in teams of four, the girls will complete online tasks remotely on their school computers, with each stage being harder than the previous one.\n\nThe 10 groups with the highest scores will then be invited to the CyberFirst competition final in London to investigate a complex cyber threat.\n\nCyberFirst's winning team will be awarded £1,000 worth of computer equipment for their school, as well as individual prizes.\n\nThe NCSC was set up to be the main body for cyber security at a national level.\n\nIt manages national cyber security incidents, carries out real-time threat analysis and provides advice.\n\nAn NCSC spokeswoman said: \"Women can, and do, make a huge difference in cyber security - this competition could inspire many more to take their first steps into this dynamic and rewarding career.\"\n\nGovernment Communications Headquarters director Robert Hannigan said: \"I work alongside some truly brilliant women who help protect the UK from all manner of online threats.\n\n\"The CyberFirst Girls competition allows teams of young women a glimpse of this exciting world and provides a great opportunity to use new skills.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Living longer may also mean working longer\n\nWill you live to be 100 years old? Even if you don't - it's pretty likely your children or your grandchildren will.\n\nWhile Brexit, China and Trump may be dominating the news out of this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, living longer is a hot topic in the cold and snowy mountain village, and one which many attendees are already grappling with.\n\nCurrent trends suggest most babies born since 2000 in developed countries such as the UK, US, Canada, France and Germany, will live past their 100th birthday.\n\nPut another way, for every 10 years since the 19th Century, life expectancy has increased by two and a half years, according to Jim Vaupel from Max Planck Institute of Demography, who has tracked global changes over the past 150 years.\n\nThat's the equivalent of another six to eight hours every day.\n\nIt may sound great - after all who doesn't want to live for as long as possible - but the reality is we may also be working for as long as possible to be able to pay for it.\n\n\"If we live 30 years longer, then in order to retire at 60 we would have to save five times as much during our working lives. It's the end of retirement as we know it,\" says Lynda Gratton, who hosted a session on the topic in Davos.\n\nShe is a psychologist, and professor of management practice at the London Business School, and has written a book on the topic.\n\nThe effects of people living longer is one of the hot topics in Davos\n\nRather than the three traditional stages of life: education, work and retirement, Ms Gratton expects people to have to constantly retrain as they shift careers and focus.\n\nCounter-intuitively, she suggests that one positive of having a longer career could actually mean a better work-life balance.\n\nIf you're working for longer, then taking a couple of years out to look after children, or ageing parents for example, won't be such a big deal when your career lasts for 60-plus years, she suggests.\n\nJo Ann Jenkins, chief executive at non-profit group AARP - the influential lobby group for older Americans - says working longer is already a reality for many in the US.\n\nIn 2012, US employees aged over 50 made up almost a third of the workforce. By 2022 they're expected to make up 36%.\n\nThe shift has already forced the group to change its name. The body used to be called the American Association of Retired Persons, but had to change it to just AARP because its members complained they weren't retired, but still working.\n\n\"People used to think middle age started around 35. Now, most people think it's late 40s or early 50s. Same thing with one's working years. Someone who was 55 or 60 often used to be seen as over the hill. That's not the case today,\" says Ms Jenkins.\n\nShe believes one of the big adjustments will be how to manage the increasing breadth of age groups in the workplace.\n\n\"Years ago, one of the big questions was: can a man report to a woman manager? We've answered that question. Today, a big question is: can an older employee report to a younger manager? I think many organisations are still grappling with that.\"\n\nOf course, increased life expectancy isn't always matched by better health.\n\nChristophe Weber, the chief executive of Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda, says the key issue is how long people are remaining well.\n\nIn Japan, around a quarter of the population is now over 60, and Mr Weber notes that this increasing longevity also means certain diseases such as dementia, for example, are on the rise.\n\nHe says research and finding new medicines to address the issue will be crucial.\n\n\"[People living longer] is a very nice evolution but the challenge is how you finance it,\" he says, adding that the healthier people are, the less costly it is.\n\nAs far as work goes, he says people need \"a soft landing carrier to retirement\", suggesting while older people may remain at work, they're likely to work part-time, or in less hands-on mentoring roles.\n\nBut if even the idea of working part-time when you're in your 70s seems depressing, Ms Gratton has some encouragement.\n\nShe says the fact that you're likely to have to change jobs and retrain several times to remain employable over 60 years offers a natural break to take time out.\n\n\"Take a gap year. Why should it only be the young who take gap years? You could take a gap year at 50, and travel around the world,\" she says.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. What was Melania Trump like in Slovenia?\n\nThe President Burger is presented with a flourish - on a wooden board, surrounded by circular \"dollar fries\" and topped with a yellow crust of cheese \"hair\" which looks as if it might fly away at any moment.\n\nAs tributes to the US President-elect go, it may not be the most respectful. But it is offered with the affection and gentle humour which it soon becomes apparent is a hallmark of Sevnica, a Slovenian town which just happens to be the place where Donald Trump's first-lady-to-be, Melania, spent most of her childhood.\n\n\"We formed the burger so it would resemble Trump a little bit,\" chuckles Bruno Vidmar, the chef-proprietor of Rondo, a restaurant in the newer part of Sevnica.\n\n\"It has hot peppers, because Trump's statements are hot - and it comes with dollar fries because he's a successful entrepreneur.\"\n\nThe owner of the Rondo restaurant designed this burger to resemble Donald Trump\n\nThe presidential tie-in seems to be serving Rondo well: on a weekday morning, the place is buzzing with an early lunch crowd from the nearby furniture and textile factories. Meanwhile a table full of smartly-dressed young women order another of Bruno's culinary creations dreamt up with Sevnica's most famous daughter in mind.\n\n\"The 'Melanija' dessert is made out of sponge, then there's a layer of mascarpone and strawberries. It's light enough for a model - and we have it on good authority that Melania loves strawberries.\"\n\nSevnica is a small place - so Bruno probably did not have to search long to find an authority on what Melania likes for pudding. Or, at least, what she did like when she was growing up as Melanija Knavs in this town of fewer than 5,000 people.\n\nBar the addition of a branch of Lidl on the outskirts, little seems to have changed since she left for Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, as a teenager. The old castle - parts of which date back to the 12th Century - still overlooks Sevnica from its hilltop perch.\n\nThe town itself is a tidy place with new and old sections, sitting alongside the River Sava and surrounded by forested hills. The Slovenian Tourist Board suggests that Sevnica is \"an excellent destination for those who enjoy picnics and outings, hiking, cycling or fishing\".\n\nIf the roads had been less icy, it would certainly have been an enjoyable ride through the trees to Gostišče Ob Ribniku, a restaurant and guesthouse next to a small lake. Inside the traditional wooden chalet, you can chat to one of the people who can shed some light on the future first lady's early years.\n\nSevnica is \"an excellent destination for those who enjoy picnics and outings, hiking, cycling or fishing\" according to the Slovenian Tourist Board\n\n\"We were next door neighbours - and we used to go the same way to school,\" says Mateja Zalezina, who runs Gostišče Ob Ribniku with her husband, Dejan.\n\n\"In the afternoon when we came back we used to hang out in front of the apartment block. Even then she was quite busy, because her mother was a fashion designer and Melania was one of the models for the Jutranjka company that did fashion for kids.\"\n\nMateja laughs at the idea that she could have spotted that her neighbour would go a long way from Sevnica - never mind all the way to the White House. But she says that Melania could not help but stand out.\n\n\"She was really good at school. She and her sister Ines were studying really hard. After school, we played a game called 'gumi-twist', an elastic band game, and she was really good at that. She had the figure of a model - really long legs - and she always won!\"\n\nThe restaurant is offering a three-course \"Melanija Menu\" in honour of Mateja's former playmate. But, like Rondo's eponymous offering, this does not feel like a culinary cash-in, just a low-key tribute, delivered with affection.\n\n\"I'm really happy for her - she's achieved the maximum,\" says Dejan. \"I hope everyone in Sevnica will watch the inauguration. We will be here at the restaurant with friends and will raise a glass to them both.\"\n\nMelania's former neighbour says America's next first lady studied \"really hard\" at school\n\nBack in the old town, beneath the castle, Sevnica's mayor Srecko Ocvirk is not planning any special events to mark the start of the Trump era. But he hopes the publicity will bring the town's charms to the attention of tourists.\n\n\"The first visitors who came were journalists like you,\" he admits. \"But we're now seeing there are rising numbers of tourists. We're also expecting more organised tour groups after the inauguration. Sevnica and the region will become better known because of this.\"\n\nAt the town's primary school, one of the staff has certainly achieved a degree of local celebrity. Art teacher Nena Bedek was best friends with Melania until the future Mrs Trump left to finish her schooling in Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana.\n\nNow Nena fields questions from her students about her friendship with Sevnica's most famous former resident - and marvels at the different paths their lives have taken.\n\n\"It's a 'wow' effect for us and for me,\" she says.\n\n\"She was a reliable girl and a very good friend. But she never wished to stand out - even though she was beautiful and hard-working. She loved to read and draw. She was brought up in a very artistic manner - she knew what was beautiful - due to her mother's job as a fashion designer. I have very fond memories and keep her very close in my heart.\"\n\nAs for the town's various tributes - which include wine, slippers and honey as well as the culinary offerings - Nena believes they are in keeping with the Sevnica spirit.\n\n\"They are very sympathetic and sweet - none of them are bad things - and it's also funny. I think it's still within limits - all in all it's sweet and nice.\"\n\nRather like Sevnica itself, perhaps.\n\nYou can hear Guy De Launey's report from BBC Radio 4's World Tonight via BBC iPlayer.", "When asked what he would take away from his stunning defeat by Denis Istomin in the second round of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic said he would take his bags and go home.\n\nThe world number two exuded the utmost class in the aftermath of Istomin's five-set victory in the Rod Laver Arena. He signed autographs, offered sincere congratulations to the current world number 117, and declined the opportunity to comment further on the malaise which has affected him since winning his first French Open title last June.\n\nIstomin has had a fine career - spending plenty of time in the world's top 50 - but after an injury-affected 2016, he had to win the Asia Pacific Wildcard play-off in China (saving four match points in his semi-final) to qualify for this Australian Open.\n\nHis only previous tournament this year was in Thailand, where he lost to the world number 211 in the second round of the Wind Energy Holding Bangkok Open.\n• None Cash fears Djokovic's best days are behind him\n• None How to follow the Australian Open on the BBC\n\nLukas Rosol was 100 in the world when he beat Rafael Nadal in the second round of Wimbledon 2012, but Istomin can claim an even bigger upset given Djokovic's recent record in Melbourne, where he has won five titles in the past six years.\n\nConquering the clay of Roland Garros last year has affected Djokovic's sense of direction.\n\nThat burning desire to become only the eighth man in history to win all four of the sport's Grand Slams drove him forward. An unwitting consequence of that magnificent achievement appears to be a diminished appetite for the incessant demands of the tennis tour.\n\nHe has lost surprisingly since then to Sam Querrey in the third round of Wimbledon; to Juan Martin del Potro in the first round of the Olympics; to Roberto Bautista Agut and Marin Cilic in the autumn of last season; and now to Istomin.\n\nThere have been personal problems and niggling injuries along the way, and he has still been good enough in that time to win titles in Toronto and Doha - and finish as runner-up at both the US Open and the ATP World Tour Finals.\n\nI would be very surprised if Djokovic fails to add to his Grand Slam tally of 12, but I think it unlikely he will ever be able to dominate the sport as he has in the past.\n\nAfter all, from the start of 2011 through until last year's French Open, Djokovic won 11 Grand Slam titles and appeared in all but five of the 22 finals staged.\n\nThat is a staggering effort which bears comparison to the standards set by Roger Federer, who won 16 of his 17 Grand Slams in a six and a half year period. But 35-year-old Federer has added only one since he turned 29.\n\nIt is perhaps just not possible in the modern age to sustain such relentless success for any longer.\n\nIn Djokovic's case, the years of obsession and dedication began at the age of six, when he was spotted watching some lessons through the fence of a newly built tennis academy in his home town.\n\nHe was invited to come and play the following day by a coach called Jelena Gencic, who would have a profound effect on his career.\n\nAs Djokovic himself said at the World Tour Finals in November: \"Every year is an evolution for me. It's hard to expect to repeat all these things forever. Nothing is eternal. I'm trying to do the same things. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.\"\n\nWhat might the future hold for Djokovic?\n\nHe says regaining the world number one position from Andy Murray is not his main priority, and that may be wise given Murray would move more than 3,500 ranking points ahead of him by winning a first Australian Open title.\n\nHe says he has no plans to add to his current coaching team of Marian Vajda and Dusan Vemic, and if Djokovic sticks to his schedule we won't see him again until the second week in March when he is due to defend his Masters title at Indian Wells.\n\nAnd what does this mean for the men's game in 2017 - and for the ongoing Australian Open?\n\nIt leaves Andy Murray in pole position, it gives the returning Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal even greater hope of further glories, and offers encouragement to the next generation of players who have had to bide their time so patiently.

But why do these shortages persist and is there anything that can be done to get rid of them?\n\nIn this week's In Business on BBC Radio 4, I spoke to historians, economists, nurses, doctors and other healthcare staff to try to get to the bottom of these questions.\n\nAnd to pose another one - does the NHS have the right mix of staff with the right mix of skills or could changing traditional roles rather than just boosting numbers help?\n\nThe Royal College of Nursing says England is currently short of at least 20,000 nursing staff.\n\nAnd the Royal College of Midwives says the country needs 3,500 more midwives.\n\nMeanwhile, GP leaders and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine say the UK urgently needs greater numbers of general practitioners and emergency doctors - just a few of the medical specialities struggling with recruitment and retention right now.\n\nIncreasingly, an older population, with often complex health needs, adds extra demand.\n\nBut these problems are far from new.\n\nStephanie Snow, medical historian at the University of Manchester, says staff shortages have existed since the very birth of the NHS, in 1948 - though people are often quick to label recruitment crises as one-off problems.\n\nShe told the BBC: \"Over the first decade in particular, the NHS expanded its specialist services rapidly and there were many new technologies on board.\n\n\"All of these things led to unprecedented increases in the number of staff required.\n\n\"By the time we get to the late 1960s, hospitals had to turn to mass recruitment, looking towards countries such as India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka - where courses were taught in English and aligned to the UK's General Medical Council, as a consequence of colonial rule.\"\n\nPhysician associates are a relatively new role within the NHS\n\nMeanwhile, Anita Charlesworth, director of Research and Economics at the think tank, the Health Foundation, argues the UK has perpetually trained lower numbers of medical and nursing students than it needs.\n\nShe said: \"There is not a problem that we don't have enough bright, young people who would meet the standards and would love to have a career in medicine and nursing.\n\n\"They just can't get a place. We have systematically trained fewer than we need.\"\n\nAnd she suggests being able to recruit doctors and nurses from overseas has offered a \"get out of jail card\" for successive staff shortages.\n\nDr Mark Porter, of the doctors' union, the British Medical Association, argues we have generally staffed a health service we can afford - rather than look at what the population needs.\n\nBut he says planning for the NHS workforce of the future is not easy.\n\nHe said: \"It is difficult to get planning perfect for every one of 50 or 60 specialities all of the time.\n\n\"The population's needs are genuinely not quite as predictable as one might imagine.\n\n\"We know the trajectory illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes are taking over the next five years.\n\n\"But what about the next 25 years?\n\n\"Will public health messages and new technology be successful, or won't they?\n\n\"The answer could give us completely different trajectories in the future.\"\n\nNurses starting work on the first day of the NHS\n\nFor its part, the government says it plans to increase the numbers of doctors and nurses it trains and boost other healthcare staff too.\n\nAt the Conservative Party conference in October 2016, Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, said: \"My job is to prepare the NHS for the future, and that means doing something today that we have never done properly before, and that's training enough doctors.\"\n\nThe government announced there would be up to an extra 1,500 medical school places each year from 2018 in England.\n\nAnd, looking back, the NHS Confederation said there had been an extra 32,467 doctors employed in England in 2014 compared with 2004.\n\nHealth chiefs also say current plans to scrap nurse bursaries will help increase the number of nurse training places available this year - though whether this will work in practice is unclear and has been disputed by nursing leaders.\n\nOther positions such as nurse apprentices and physician associates are being explored.\n\nPhysician associates (PAs) - trained to do some of the jobs junior doctors do, might be able to cut some pressures on wards.\n\nBut current numbers are tiny, most cannot prescribe and they are not professionally regulated in the same way doctors are.\n\nMs Charlesworth is worried options for filling shortages quickly might be running out.\n\nShe said: \"There's a massive gap globally now in the number of doctors and nurses compared to projected demand.\n\n\"So India keeps many more of its doctors.\n\n\"It has fantastic leading hospitals that are an exciting place to work if you are a young Indian doctor.\n\n\"There is a global shortage of clinical healthcare staff.\"\n\nAnd of course there is another issue to consider.\n\nIt is estimated about 10% doctors and 7% of nurses working in the NHS in England are nationals of other EU countries.\n\nThe question is - could Brexit make NHS recruitment and retention problems even worse?\n\nTo find out more and to hear some possible solutions, listen to: BBC Radio 4 - In Business, The NHS- The Recruitment Dilemma.\n\nPresented by Smitha Mundasad and produced by Rosamund Jones\n• None BBC Radio 4 - In Business, The NHS- The Recruitment Dilemma", "A girl, who was kidnapped as a baby 18 years ago, has defended the woman who took her from a Florida hospital.\n\nLexis Manigo, whose birth name is Kamiyah Mobley was abducted by Gloria Williams, a woman she considers her mother in 1998.", "Donald Trump and his wife Melania visited a group of supporters at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.\n\n\"This is a gorgeous room.

She was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2010.\n\nShe also became a successful journalist, after dinner speaker and expert in public relations, which brought her back into contact with her beloved Wolves as she headed up the club's work in the local community.\n\nMCC president Matthew Fleming said: \"Rachael Heyhoe Flint was a pioneer of women's cricket - she was the first global superstar in the women's game and her overall contribution to the MCC, cricket and sport in general was immense.\"\n\nBaroness Heyhoe Flint has been described as a pioneer of women's cricket\n\nClare Connor, the ECB's director of women's cricket, said: \"She was so special, so ever-present and now she has gone - but her impact can never be forgotten.\n\n\"Rachael was one of our sport's true pioneers and it is no exaggeration to say that she paved the way for the progress enjoyed by recent generations of female cricketers.\"\n\nAmong many others paying tribute to Heyhoe Flint was BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew, who said on Twitter: \"Very sad news re Rachael Heyhoe Flint.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Johnson had shown once again that he could be \"supremely clever and yet immensely stupid\".\n\nTo some Britons, Mr Johnson's remarks will be seen as colourful but unexceptional language that echoes the popular World War Two film The Great Escape.\n\nTo many of Mr Johnson's generation, these films were part of their childhood and are subject to frequent cultural reference. Former Prime Minister David Cameron has seen The Guns of Navarone more than 17 times and once quoted a line from the film in a party conference speech.\n\nI know one former Conservative cabinet minister who can quote reams from Where Eagles Dare. (Full disclosure, so can I).\n\nYet this hinterland of war films from the 1960s and 1970s, seen by some today as jingoistic, can create a tin ear among some Britons when it comes to recognising how sensitive many Europeans remain towards this period in their history.\n\nThe foreign secretary has form on this. During the referendum campaign last year he compared the EU to Nazi Germany, telling the Daily Telegraph both were attempting to unify Europe: \"Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically.\"\n\nThis caused a flurry of headlines and a social media storm that passed quickly. Yet the impact on EU politicians was lasting.\n\nOne EU diplomat explained it to me like this: \"You Brits don't understand us when we talk about European values. To us they are important because they are not Nazi values, they are not Vichy values, they are not fascist values, not the values of the Greek junta. They are the values of a different Europe.\n\n\"So for that clown to compare us to the Nazis, well, that hurts and will not be forgotten.\"\n\nIn other words, the global conflict from which the EU's forerunner emerged - and was ultimately designed to prevent recurring - lingers long in the mind on the continent.\n\nSo perhaps the foreign secretary might take the advice of Gisela Stuart, the German-born Labour MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, who said she was sure her fellow Brexit campaigner did not mean to be offensive but added: \"For the next two years… just don't mention the war.\"\n\nOr maybe Mr Johnson might remember the last line of the Fawlty Towers episode when a ranting Basil is being led away by the nurses and one of the stunned German guests asks: \"However did they win?\"", "The claim: The government will not be able to achieve the manifesto commitment to build 200,000 starter homes by 2020.\n\nReality Check verdict: It currently seems unlikely because money has only been set aside for 60,000 starter homes. Also, the current plan is for 22% of new developments to be starter homes, which would mean one million suitable homes being built by 2020 - that would be a significant acceleration of house building.\n\nThe government announced on Tuesday that it had given the go-ahead for the construction of thousands of starter homes.\n\nStarter homes are new homes built for first-time buyers between 23 and 40 years old, sold at least 20% below market value. The maximum price after the discount has been applied is £250,000 outside London and £450,000 in the capital.\n\nThe Conservatives made a commitment in their manifesto for the 2015 general election to build 200,000 starter homes - the pledge to do so by 2020 was repeated in the call for expressions of interest in building starter homes that was released last March.\n\nOn BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday, shadow housing minister John Healey said: \"They've promised by 2020 to build 200,000 of them, which no-one believes is possible.\"\n\nThe document from March talked about £2.3bn of funding from the 2015 Spending Review to support up to 60,000 starter homes, which would still leave the government well short of the target.\n\nThe government is not talking a great deal about starter homes at the moment, promising more details of how it will deliver them in the housing White Paper, which is due later this month.\n\nThe funding for the programme is supposed to pay for things like local authorities making brownfield sites suitable for residential development.\n\nAt the moment, the government wants to use the planning system to get affordable housing built. Essentially, developers will have to agree that of every five homes they build, one will have to be a starter home.\n\nIn a recent consultation the government said under the new system at least 22% of all new builds would be starter homes. That means almost one million new homes would have to be built by 2020 to hit the government's 200,000 target.\n\nIn 2015, there were a total of 170,730 new homes built, which would not be enough over three years, even if all of them gave 22% as starter homes.\n\nBut perhaps the May government will drop the commitment made under David Cameron or there will be another route to the creation of starter homes in the forthcoming White Paper.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

I would be very sad if it did.\n\n\"There's no other race track that would be able to host the British Grand Prix.\"\n\nFor anyone who has followed Formula 1 for the last decade or two, another story questioning the future of the British Grand Prix is about as surprising as cold weather in winter.\n\nThere is no doubt the British Racing Drivers' Club mean it when they say they are considering activating a break clause.\n\nBut, equally, there is no doubt that it fundamentally amounts to posturing - Silverstone does not want to lose the British Grand Prix any more than do the 140,000 fans who went there to watch it last year.\n\nThe issue is the cost of the 17-year contract - £12m in 2010; a 5% annual escalator means the race will cost nearly £17m this year and more than £26m by 2027.\n\nThis is small by comparison with Russia, which pays $50m (£40.3m) a year. It's not that far out of line with the new deal signed by Italy for €68m (£58m) over 2017-19, which averages out at £19.3m a year. But Silverstone - almost alone among grands prix - receives no government funding of any kind.\n\nNo other circuit in Britain is even remotely close to being able to replace it - so ignore any suggestions from F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone to that end.\n\nThe solution lies in new F1 owner Liberty Media, which has made it abundantly clear it wants to retain and nurture the historic European races, home of the sport's core audience, as a bedrock of its new-look F1.\n\nLiberty will complete its takeover deal before the end of the first quarter of this year.

The wall as filmed from the air by the Lindesays\n\nThe wall most tourists see today is in places like Badaling or Jinshangling, an easy day trip from Beijing, where the stones and towers have been repeatedly restored, not always sympathetically.\n\n\"But there's more to the wall than that,\" says William, who trained as a geographer.\n\n\"Before the tourist wall that people flock to, there were many other 'Great Walls of China'.\"\n\nFew tourists see more of the wall than the manicured sections near Beijing\n\nSprawled across northern China and into Mongolia, the creation of these various walls spanned centuries and ruling dynasties. The oldest parts date back more than 2,000 years.\n\nIn some places towering stone and in others heaped-up earth, the walls have variously served as highways, defensive fortresses, a communication network and even a fence to contain migrating animals.\n\n\"Over the past 30 years I've been looking at all of these walls, as far as possible,\" says William. \"My travels have taken me all over northern China, even as far as Mongolia.\"\n\nIn the 1990s, he and his wife, Wu Qi, bought a farmhouse at the foot of the wall, and would spend most weekends there exploring it.\n\nWilliam Lindesay has been exploring the wall since the mid-1980s\n\nWilliam and Wu Qi have brought their sons up in the shadow of the Great Wall\n\nPhotography has always been important, says William, whether the images were \"just beautiful or whether the architecture, the design features had a meaning that I wanted to explain in my writing\".\n\nBut in 2016 his sons, Jim and Tommy, had a suggestion for seeing the wall in a whole new way, and began, as they put it, pestering him to buy them a drone.\n\n\"I was very concerned they'd come back from the first trip without the drone,\" says William. He eventually caved, and the results, coupled with some self-taught editing flair from his sons, have been \"out of this world\".\n\n\"Over the years, publishers and filmmakers have come to me and said, let's do the Great Wall from the air,\" he says.\n\n\"My typical reply was that unless you've got millions and millions of dollars, and high-level contacts with the government and the armed forces, who control the skies, then forget it.\n\n\"In this way drone technology is a godsend.\"\n\nSo armed with their drone and with a travel agency sponsor, the family spent a total of 60 days tracing the walls in 2016, celebrating William's 60th birthday and his 30th year of living in China \"for the wall\".\n\nThey began in July at the Old Dragon's Head, the point where the Ming dynasty-era Great Wall meets the sea in the east, and followed it westwards, branching off to explore the older Zhao wall, dating back to 300BC, then hundreds of kilometres further west, the Han dynasty wall.\n\nThe Zhao wall in Inner Mongolia bears little relation to most people's image of the Great Wall\n\nWilliam and his sons spent weeks camping in Mongolia to trace the wall\n\nThat was followed in August by a flight to Ulan Bator in Mongolia, from where they camped in the wild while tracing what is marked on old maps as the Wall of Genghis Khan.\n\nWilliam calculates the entire journey to have been some 15,000km (9,320 miles) and says flying the drone over these remote areas gave a whole new perspective on the ruins.\n\n\"When you go to Mongolia, you find a wall that doesn't actually excite you. You can barely see it in the broad light of day.\n\n\"Very early in the morning, just before sundown, if you're lucky you get low angle sunlight, you can see the shadow of this structure not snaking, but streaking straight across the steppe.\"\n\nBut from the air it becomes \"a phenomenal sight... with the empty steppeland, golden sunlight and the mound underlined by very very dark shadow\".\n\nItems discarded around the wall, like this 16th Century rock bomb, give a clue to the people who built it\n\n\"In my mind of all the shots that the boys took of the Great Wall from the air, that is the most surprising, because it just looks so amazing, the wall in that completely empty landscape, you feel as though you're on the very edge of Central Asia.\"\n\nWilliam is also clearly fascinated by the role the wall has played in the history of the Chinese people. Seeing it from the air, he says, helps an observer get in to the mind of its creators.\n\n\"We see the twists and turns, and we ask, why did it twist and turn there? Why did they route it along there, and not along there?\"\n\n\"The land beside the wall where the builders established their camps, their villages, where they sourced all their building materials - I view this as the Great Wall's historical landscape.\"\n\nBeyond the romance of travel and photography, this contrast of old and new underlines the other reason for their trip.\n\n\"There's a lot of hullabaloo always about how long the Great Wall is, and stories about the wall getting shorter because it's getting damaged,\" says William.\n\n\"So I'll be looking at the footage and, trying to work out how close things are getting to the wall.\n\n\"There are laws and regulations made in the last 10 years to protect the Great Wall landscape, and I'm going to be be interested to see how the reality matches up.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Police in southern India say there is no evidence of mass sex attacks during new year celebrations in central Bangalore, despite a number of women telling the media they had been assaulted by groups of men.\n\nCCTV footage of one violent attack in the early hours of 1 January elsewhere in the city has come to light, with four men arrested over the incident.\n\nFilmed and edited by Jaltson AC.

But what was supposed to be their big coming out week isn't going quite as planned.\n\nIf you're a tech company wanting to grab the world's attention this week, then Las Vegas could be the worst place to be.\n\nWhy? Well in the biggest CES yet with nearly 4,000 exhibitors you really have to shout very loud to be heard above the hubbub.\n\nIf you're a giant company like Sony or Samsung, you pour your marketing millions into spectacular press conferences and ridiculously lavish show floor exhibits where visitors have to wade through deep pile carpet while being deafened by loud music and shouty demos.\n\nSo, to arrive here as a one-man start-up with an innovative idea and try to get some attention requires both courage and optimism. Luckily Danny Manu has both in spades.\n\nWhen I met this young man from Manchester on the Las Vegas strip, he was desperately tired. His cheap flight from the UK had been delayed by eight hours on a Miami stopover - so he'd dashed from the airport to his AirBnB to drop his luggage, then came straight on to see me.\n\n\"I've not slept for 24 hours but I'm still moving and looking forward to it,\" he says.\n\nDanny's product is called Clik and he bills it as the world's first truly wireless earbuds with live translation. The idea is that you speak in one language and another person hears what you say in their own tongue, either via their own earbuds or via the MyManu smartphone app that Danny has already developed.\n\nSmart wireless earbuds and instant translation are ideas which giants like Apple and Google are addressing with vast investments - so it seems ridiculously ambitious for a one-man band to take them on.\n\nHe has already had a few setbacks. He'd hoped to have a working model ready for CES, but says delays in manufacturing in China mean the earbuds won't be ready for a few weeks.\n\nInstead, he demonstrates the system on a set of ear headphones, getting me to say Bonjour into an iPad which then comes out of his headphones as Hello.\n\nWe struggle with bad connectivity - often an issue when thousands are using the mobile networks at once - but Danny is hoping for a smoother demo in any of 37 languages when his stand is set up at the show.\n\nIt has been an extraordinary journey to get this far. He's been working on the idea for four years while holding down a full time job as an engineer at a major aerospace company. He tells me that when he went to China to sign a deal with Foxconn to manufacture his product he could only take three days leave, so spent just one day in Shenzhen - to the amazement of his hosts - then got back on the plane.\n\nHe has funded Clik from his own savings and a crowdfunding campaign and exhibiting at CES is costing him a tidy sum. So, is it worth it?\n\n\"I've had so many emails from companies that wanted to see the product,\" he says.\n\n\"That's the main reason I've come to CES.\"\n\nHe is also hoping to link up with distributors, manufacturers and other possible business partners.\n\nLet's be honest, the odds aren't great on Danny Manu beating the tech giants to launch a product that could transform the way we interact with people who speak a different language. In fact, he might be better to head to the roulette tables and pick a number to put his life savings on.\n\nBut this brave young British entrepreneur, with the courage to stake everything on an innovation he believes could change the world, is just what CES should be all about.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The funeral of Yassar Yaqub, 28, from Huddersfield, who was shot dead by police on a motorway slip road has been held.\n\nMr Yaqub was shot in a car stopped near junction 24 of the M62 as part of an operation on Monday.", "Sergio Aguero turns home Yaya Toure's shot with a cheeky flick for Manchester City's fourth goal against West Ham in their FA Cup third-round tie at London Stadium.\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "Intel has revealed a computer that is roughly the size of a credit card.\n\nThe Compute Card can operate as a PC or act as the brains of other electronics.\n\nThe US tech firm gave BBC Click's Spencer Kelly an exclusive first look before its official launch.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

You can't just throw elephants together and expect them to be friends.\"\n\nAny potential new companion will need to recognise Mondy's dominant nature\n\nToto died after collapsing at the park last year\n\nMondy's new companion will be introduced to her gradually, with the pair initially being kept in separate enclosures.\n\nMiss Macfarlane said the keepers were now trying \"really hard\" to find a new friend for Mondy.\n\nShe said: \"The elephant building that we currently have was built in 2013 and was specifically designed as a retirement home almost.\n\n\"We work constantly with a lot of zoos through breeding programmes and the park managers are in touch with all the zoos that have African elephants in Europe.\n\n\"We said since we lost Toto that it wouldn't be immediate and it wouldn't be healthy for Mondy for it to be immediate.\n\n\"We have to give her a bit of time to get used to the new situation.\"\n\nThe Princess Royal opened a new elephant home at the park in 2013\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nPep Guardiola's first taste of the FA Cup ended triumphantly as his Manchester City side thrashed Premier League rivals West Ham in the third round.\n\nCity led 3-0 at the break, Yaya Toure starting the rout by firing a debatable penalty into the bottom left corner.\n\nHavard Nordtveit bundled Bacary Sagna's teasing cross into his own net, just 146 seconds before David Silva's composed tap-in.\n\nShortly after the restart, Sergio Aguero cheekily diverted in Toure's shot to become the third-highest goalscorer in City's history.\n\nAnd John Stones headed in his first Blues goal as the visitors comfortably saw the game out in a rapidly emptying London Stadium.\n\nFollowing Friday's opening third-round tie, City are the first team in the pot for Monday's draw, which is live on BBC Two and online at 19:00 GMT.\n\nWatch all the FA Cup goals and read the reaction\n\nGuardiola has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks thanks to a combination of City's faltering form and his tetchy interviews.\n\nBut his team responded with a devastating performance against the hapless Hammers.\n\nWest Ham could not cope with the pace, power and precision of the visitors.\n\nToure whipped in the spot-kick after Pablo Zabaleta fell over Angelo Ogbonna's standing leg before Nordtveit and Silva ensured City scored three first-half goals for the first time under their Spanish manager.\n\nThe Blues were relentless as they condemned West Ham to their heaviest FA Cup home defeat.\n\nFormer Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Guardiola has regularly been forced into defending his footballing philosophy in recent months but performances like this justify his perseverance.\n\n\"West Ham could not live with their passing, their movement, their one-touch football,\" former England striker Alan Shearer said on Match of the Day.\n\nHammers manager Slaven Bilic claimed ahead of the game that City \"were not that confident anymore\" after Guardiola's methods had been questioned following his team's mixed form in the past couple of months.\n\nHow wrong the Croat was.\n\nBut that, in part, was down to his team's inability - or refusal - to put the away side under any serious pressure when they were in possession.\n\nSign up for the 2017 FA People's Cup and take your chance to win tickets to the FA Cup final and achieve national five-a-side glory.\n\nThe Hammers failed to press the visitors in their own half, allowing Toure - who had more touches and made more passes than anyone else in his 78 minutes on the pitch - to dictate from his holding midfield role.\n\nHowever, it could all have been very different had Sofiane Feghouli not spurned a golden chance to pull the Hammers level at 1-1.\n\nThe Algeria winger - only playing after his red card against Manchester United was rescinded - sidefooted wide of a gaping goal just seconds after Toure's penalty.\n\nAnd that proved the catalyst for the Hammers' collapse.\n\n\"The way West Ham's heads went down is alarming. Alarming for the fans and for the manager. It was embarrassing,\" Shearer added.\n\nThe Hammers have struggled for consistency in front of goal this season, scoring just 23 times in their 20 Premier League matches - four of which were netted against Swansea on Boxing Day.\n\nRegular injuries to Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Andre Ayew have not helped matters, nor has on-loan Juventus forward Simone Zaza's inability to find his feet - or the net - in England.\n\nNo wonder they have targeted an attacker in this transfer window, already having bids turned down for Sunderland's Jermain Defoe and Hull City's Robert Snodgrass.\n\nThis was another toothless performance. And, like the humiliating 5-1 defeat against Arsenal last month, they were worryingly disorganised and open at the back.\n\nWith some home fans leaving after City's third goal and those left at the final whistle jeering his team, could Hammers hero Bilic be starting to come under pressure?\n\nWhat they said\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola: \"We were able to keep the ball more than the last games. We created more chances. Before the penalty we had three or four clear chances. After the second and third goal it was easy in the second half.\n\n\"It's important to win away but it's not easy. I'd like to involve the fans and make them believe we are good. We are the good guys - we run a lot and fight.\"\n\nWest Ham boss Slaven Bilic: \"The penalty was the turning point because we looked good until then. It was maybe a soft one.\n\n\"We had a great chance to equalise but we didn't. We made mistakes after the goal and started to chase the ball. Quickly it was 3-0 and game over.\n\n\"It's a very bad day for us. It wasn't good enough.\n\n\"What disappointed me the most is that we started to chase them all over the pitch and then conceded two more and it was all over.\"\n• None The Hammers suffered their worst home defeat in FA Cup history, having never previously lost by a five-goal margin\n• None Only once have West Ham suffered a bigger FA Cup defeat - 6-0 against Manchester United in January 2003\n• None Sergio Aguero has been involved in 12 goals in 11 FA Cup appearances for Manchester City (10 goals, two assists)\n• None West Ham have shipped three or more goals in a game on eight occasions this season - twice as many as they did in the whole of 2015-16\n• None John Stones scored his first club goal since April 2015 (for Everton against Manchester United in the Premier League)\n\nBack to the Premier League for both clubs next weekend.\n\nWest Ham, who are 13th in the top flight, host London rivals Crystal Palace on Saturday (15:00 GMT), while fourth-placed City go to Everton on Sunday (13:30 GMT).\n• None Delay over.

This ability to make sense of all this data could help us cure disease, tackle climate change, grow food more efficiently and generally run our lives in a much smarter, more sustainable way, proponents believe.\n\nLots was made of customer service chatbots last year, sometimes described erroneously as AI in action, but most of these were actually pretty dumb, merely guessing the most likely answer to fit the question.\n\nReal AI, underpinned by natural language processing, neural networks and machine learning, will understand how humans think, talk, and categorise concepts, making it smarter and easier to interact with.\n\nAnd the more people who use it, the more data it will have to learn from and the better it will become.\n\nSo we are likely to see a proliferation of smarter virtual assistants, such as Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant, Microsoft's Cortana, Apple's Siri, and newcomers like Viv.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

After all, who benefits most from cheaper production? It's certainly not the poor.\n\n\"We're going to start confronting some hard truths about technology and the labour force,\" says Tien Tzuo, founder of subscription technology platform Zuora.\n\n\"We're going to have to figure out how to create jobs for people in this new economy, and if there literally are going to be fewer jobs, then we'll need to establish some sort of living standard or basic income for people.\"\n\nSo 2017 could also be the year the world is forced to deal - finally - with the tangible impacts of technology upon human society.", "It's the weekly news quiz - have you been paying attention to what's been going on in the world over the past seven days?\n\nIf you missed this week's quiz on famous resignations, try it here\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter", "Scotte Vest doesn't advise using all 42 pockets at once\n\nAs I swim in the ocean of shiny new tech that surrounds me at CES, I find myself wondering where on earth I would put all this stuff if I had to take it with me.\n\nOne firm I met there thinks it has the answer - in the form of a jacket with 42 secret pockets, each tailored for a specific device.\n\nScotte Vest's $150 (£120) sleeveless gilet is an Aladdin's cave of pockets: it includes a laptop-sized space on the back, somewhere to store a tablet in each of the front panels, an inside breast pocket for smartphones made out of touchscreen-friendly material and a channel for headphone cables or chargers.\n\nIt also contains a sunglasses pouch with attached cleaning cloth.\n\nHowever, the firm does not recommend using all 42 pockets at once.\n\n\"It is having a pocket for what you need at the moment,\" said spokesman Luke Lappala.\n\n\"If style isn't necessarily your number one priority, you could fit everything you ever need in there.\"\n\nI can vouch for that, after stashing my 11in (28cm) laptop, charging cable and plug, smartphone, tablet, radio equipment, battery power bar and notebook in a single Scotte Vest garment.\n\nI didn't look or feel particularly elegant, and the weight of the laptop alone almost tipped me over twice - but once the load had settled onto my shoulders I began to feel like I was wearing a backpack rather than a gilet.\n\nIt was surprisingly difficult to get everything back out again after this little experiment. I could feel the charger about my person but it took me a while to locate the pocket it was in. Helpfully, each garment comes with a small fabric map setting out the location of all the pockets.\n\nThe idea was born in the year 2000 when chief executive Scott Jordan almost damaged his ears in an airport after getting a headphone cable tangled on a doorknob, Mr Lappala told me.\n\nIt was inspired by the traditional fisherman's vest.\n\nThe laptop pocket is on the back of the coat, making it feel like a backpack\n\nScotte Vest claims to have sold more than 10 million garments so far, ranging from trench coats to shorts, all with varying tallies of pockets.\n\nIt is great for travellers, said Mr Lappala.

What is it like inside Guantanamo Bay?\n\nThese are uncertain times at Guantanamo Bay. Not only for the detainees but also those who guard them. After eight years in which President Obama has tried - and failed - to close the detention facility, what will President Trump mean for its future?\n\nThe first detainees arrived at Camp X-Ray 15 years ago in the early months of what was then called the \"War on Terror\". I first visited a few weeks later and watched the men in orange jumpsuits in steel cages in the hot Cuban sun.\n\nGuantanamo had been chosen partly because it was not US soil and so avoided coming under regular US law. The camp then had a thrown together feel - the Bush administration was improvising and no-one was sure how long it would last.\n\nThe orange jumpsuits worn by detainees became notorious\n\nThe next time I visited - two years later - Camp X-Ray had been replaced by the more permanent structure of Camp Delta. Guantanamo was here to stay.\n\nIts numbers grew - around 700 at its peak. But on his second day in office eight years ago President Obama promised to close the facility and the pace of transfers increased.\n\nOn my visit a few weeks ago, I found much of the Camp eerily empty, a lone iguana roaming around the barbed wire. But closing Guantanamo was a promise President Obama could not keep, partly because Congress blocked the transfer of any detainees to the US.\n\nFewer than 60 men are now left. There are 20 currently cleared for release and the Obama administration is trying to transfer some of these out before its term ends.\n\nBut on 3 January, President-elect Trump made his views clear in a tweet.\n\n\"There should be no further releases,\" he wrote. \"These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back on to the battlefield.\"\n\nMost of the remaining detainees are held now in Camp Six.\n\nInside a cell in Camp Six at Guantanamo Bay\n\nThe uncertainty hanging over the base was clear as we toured the detention block. We were able to watch and film detainees in the communal areas of their cell block through one-way glass, an unsettling procedure.\n\nThe detainees are not supposed to know we are there but clearly they realised as one put up a hand-painted sign showing a question mark with a padlock underneath.\n\nThey followed the election result like everyone else and Col Steve Gabavics, Commander of the Joint Detention Force, told me: \"They were all watching TV - their behaviour was pretty much the same as any other night.\n\n\"We didn't notice any significant negative response. No-one came to us angry, no-one protested. They were simply interested to see what was going to happen.\"\n\nColonel Steve Gabavics said they noticed no reaction to Donald Trump's election victory\n\nOne difference from my early visits is just how much more controlled - even mundane - the interaction between detainees and guards is now compared to the early days.\n\nThe attacks of 2001 were still raw and there was a tension and sense of underlying aggression on both sides. Now, the atmosphere is much more controlled.\n\nDetainees tap on a window to summon a guard when they have a message to pass and the guard proceeds through a door into a cage-like structure inside the cell-block where they can communicate with a detainee.\n\nDuring our visit in December, officials say that the detainees were \"compliant\".\n\nBut what does the arrival of President Trump mean?\n\n\"You know the detainees have questions - are the transfers going to stop when the new president takes office on 20 January? We don't know, they don't know. Their lawyers may speculate, but no-one knows,\" says Rear Adm Peter Clarke, commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo.\n\nHe did say - before Donald Trump's latest tweet - that \"some of them may act up\" if they realise they are not going to be transferred.\n\nSomewhere else on the base, which sprawls across an otherwise isolated tip of Cuba, is Camp Seven. Its precise location is secret - leading to much speculation from visiting reporters.\n\nThis is where so-called high value detainees are being held - men like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 11 September attacks who is going through the long slow process of a military commission - a form of trial.\n\nKhalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in March 2003 and sent to the US detention centre in Cuba in 2006\n\nMight it be not only that transfers out are stopped, but that current detainees find they have some company?\n\n\"We are going to load it up with bad dudes,\" Mr Trump said in the campaign trail in February last year.\n\nCamp Five was built to hold detainees but now sits empty. What if President Trump decides he wants to not just stop people leaving but send in new detainees?\n\nThe maximum capacity of Camp Six is around 175 detainees. Camp Five could hold 80 - it has been part-converted to a new medical facility. That means potentially Guantanamo could accommodate more than 100 extra detainees pretty much immediately. More than that would require construction work.\n\nOfficials say it is a \"reasonable assumption\" that they would want to segregate new detainees who would be more likely to be members of so-called Islamic State rather than al-Qaeda.\n\n\"We are prepared to receive some if that was required in the short term,\" Col Gabavics told us.\n\nThe Obama administration's push to close Guantanamo also meant there was a reluctance to capture more detainees in counter-terrorism operations around the world, some former officials say.\n\nThey believe that a policy of \"take no prisoners\" created an incentive to kill rather than capture, with the administration increasing the pace and the geographical spread of drone strikes which - on occasion - might mean useful intelligence gleaned from interrogation or captured material might be lost.\n\nRear Adm Peter Clarke said he is confident he will not be asked to torture detainees\n\nMr Trump has also said that he would consider returning to the practice of waterboarding detainees. Could that take place at Guantanamo? Rear Adm Clarke said he was \"confident\" that there will be no torture at Guantanamo.\n\n\"Whatever orders we receive, by the time they come to me from US Southern Command, I am confident those orders will be legal orders that I will be ready to carry out,\" he said.\n\nIn the 15 years since Guantanamo was opened, the contours of America's war on terror have changed.\n\nNew enemies have emerged and the question of what to do with those America is fighting - where to put them, how to treat them and even whether to kill or capture them - will now be for a new president to decide.", "Excited children lined the streets of Madrid to watch the annual parade on the eve of Epiphany.\n\nThe Day of the Kings is a more important celebration than Christmas for many families, and some wait until then to open their presents said to have been brought by the wise men.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nJust over half a century ago Britain's place as an estranged member of the European family was cemented by a Frenchman when President Charles De Gaulle vetoed the UK's attempts to join the EEC.\n\nBritain eventually joined the club. Now, as it leaves the EU, a political descendant of the wartime Free French leader will play the decisive role in deciding the nature of the UK's future relationship with the EU.\n\nMichel Barnier, the former French foreign minister who is the EU's chief negotiator on Brexit, has spent the last few months on a Grand Tour of Europe to agree a common front once the formal talks start in the spring.\n\nSo just who is Michel Barnier? Is he a European federalist out to punish Britain or is he more of a deal maker who will work hard to avoid a so-called train crash Brexit in which the UK falls out of the EU in a disorderly fashion?\n\nThe Barnier story begins in his backyard in the French Alps where he organised the 1992 Winter Olympic Games - one of his proudest achievements.\n\nTo the Paris elite the Olympics marked Barnier out as something of provincial figure who is guilty of a grave offence for a senior French public official; he failed to attend the elite Ecole nationale d'administration.\n\nBaroness Bowles, the former Liberal Democrat MEP who knows Barnier from her time as chair of the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs committee, says he was known as the \"ski instructor\".\n\nLord Patten of Barnes, the former Tory chairman, who knew Barnier from his time as France's junior European commissioner, did not see him as a top flight politician.\n\n\"He's not a joke. He's not a second rater - he'd be perfectly plausible, given our national differences, in a British cabinet in a sort of job like minister of transport,\" he said.\n\n\"I'm not being too condescending but I don't think he'd be home secretary or foreign secretary.\"\n\nAs someone who was shunned by the gilded elite of Paris, Barnier potentially has common ground with his UK counterpart, David Davis, whose friends feel he was patronised by former PM David Cameron's circle.\n\nBut friends of Barnier suggest they were hardly soulmates when they both served as Europe minister because Davis opposed the EU's social chapter.\n\nAs Europe minister, Barnier showed that he hailed from the Gaullist tradition in France which is suspicious of the Anglo-Saxon world view.\n\nBut he is no diehard Gaullist and bears no ill will to Britain, according to an old ally.\n\nMichel Dantin, who is now an MEP, told Newsnight: \"Michel Barnier is a Gaullist, a social Gaullist. His idea of Europe is a Europe of nations and not a federation.\n\n\"I think that in the forthcoming negotiations he will respect the British nation because he is aware of history and his approach is to respect others.\"\n\nBarnier's Brussels breakthrough came in 2010 when he landed one of the biggest jobs in the European Commission - as internal market commissioner.\n\nThis gave him oversight of the City of London, prompting howls of outrage that a Frenchman would undermine a key part of the UK economy.\n\nLord King of Lothbury, the former governor of the Bank of England, raised his voice in a meeting with Barnier in his office in 2011 after he put forward proposals to regulate banks.\n\nKing told Barnier that his ideas on the amount of equity finance banks should issue and the amount of liquidity the banks should hold ran were inconsistent with the proposals of the Basel committee.\n\nBank sources said that King did not believe Barnier was hostile to the City; he was simply wedded to the idea of pan-European regulation.\n\nMark Hoban, City minister at the time, saw a more pragmatic figure who underwent a learning curve.\n\n\"Certainly I found him, at the beginnings of my dealings with him in the aftermath of the crisis, very keen to talk about the failure of Anglo Saxon capitalism because he knew that played well in continental Europe,\" he said.\n\n\"Two years later, as I was leaving the Treasury, [I found him] more attuned to jobs and growth.\"\n\nBarnier's track record in Brussels made him the natural choice as the chief Brexit negotiator.\n\nNigel Farage, the former UKIP leader, believes Barnier will be guided entirely by maintaining the sanctity of the European project.\n\n\"Crucially he's of the project. He's a true believer in the religion of building a united states of Europe and so he's the man they're going to trust.\"\n\nJonathan Faull, who has just retired after 38 years of service in the European Commission where he worked with Barnier, says he will not set out to punish Britain. But he will have red lines.\n\n\"Mr Barnier will want to be constructive I have no doubt,\" said Faull.\n\n\"He will want to secure the best possible deal for the 27 states of the EU, a deal which maintains their integrity and their fundamental principles governing their internal market.\"\n\nIn private, Davis believes there are two Michel Barniers. One is the hardliner who vented frustration over Britain's approach at an informal meeting last year.\n\nBut the Brexit secretary is expecting to meet a flexible deal maker once the formal negotiations are under way this spring.\n\nDantin, one of Barnier's oldest political allies, warns Davis to work hard on building a relationship with him.\n\n\"If we want the negotiations to succeed it is necessary to have confidence between the two main negotiators,\" he said.\n\n\"If the negotiations go wrong the EU will not have much to lose but the UK will have much to lose. That is because the UK is effectively the supplicant.\"\n\nThe future of Britain's scratchy relationship with the EU will, in the initial negotiations, rest in the hands of two political outsiders.\n\nPerhaps they will find common ground over their shared love of outdoors sport, though the silver haired and suave Frenchman would probably never be seen dead hiking across mountains in the style of his British counterpart.", "Veteran Indian actor Om Puri, star of British hit East is East, has died aged 66, after suffering a heart attack.\n\nFilm Director Gurinder Chadha, who is behind films such as Bhaji on the Beach and Bend it Like it Beckham, has been working with Om Puri on her upcoming film Viceroy's House.\n\nShe told the BBC how Puri loved being on set.", "Hyundai has teamed up with Google to allow users of Google Home to lock their cars remotely, among other features\n\nFour leading car brands have announced deals with three tech giants to add virtual assistants to new cars.\n\nMicrosoft's Cortana netted two of the deals, the others went to Amazon's Alexa and Google's Assistant.\n\nThe announcements were made at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.\n\nOne analyst said there would be a \"battle of the giants\" over the adoption of virtual assistants in 2017, since they can be built in to a variety of appliances.\n\nNissan and BMW have opted to work with Microsoft to bring Cortana to selected vehicles in the near future.\n\nFord, however, has struck a deal with Amazon meaning its assistant, Alexa, will feature in some of its cars.\n\nAnd Hyundai and Daimler have said they will make their cars partly voice-operable with Google Assistant.\n\nFord has warned customers not to be distracted while driving and talking to Alexa\n\nApple's Siri assistant is already available in certain cars as well - via the firm's CarPlay software.

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.\n\nHowever, 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.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nArriving 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.\n\nPerhaps 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?\n\nDr 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.\n\nHe 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.\n\nHe 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.\n\nHe'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.\n\nDr 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nVirtual reality allows new ways to examine Stonehenge's history\n\nStonehenge 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.\n\nVR, he says, opens up a new way of researching history.\n\n\"The material record can't give us all the answers,\" he explains.\n\n\"The moment we start creating a virtual reality world it begins to ask questions, especially about people.

Its report, the Future of the Natural Environment after the EU Referendum, says:\n\nMeanwhile farmers gathered at the Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) this week to listen to the Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom, but there were precious few details on what would happen once EU subsidies go.\n\n\"We will be consulting in the near future on exactly the shape of future farm and agriculture support,\" said Ms Leadsom. \"I will be committed to supporting farming in both the short and longer term.\"\n\nAndrea Leadsom gave few details on what would happen to farming after the UK leaves the EU\n\nAlso at the OFC was George Eustice, Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA, who was a little more detailed.\n\n\"I want to support agriculture to where it becomes more profitable, more vibrant, so we see expanding food production in this country, where we are supporting farmers to deliver eco-system services.\n\n\"So that rather than telling them 'here's a subsidy now here's a list of environmental demands', we should be saying to farmers you have a role to play to enhance our agricultural environment, and we are going to reward you for those services that you offer.\"\n\nThe Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) started in 1962 as the first members of what is now the EU emerged from over a decade of food shortages during and after World War Two.\n\nIts emphasis was on production and food security but as farmers were paid for whatever they produced, they over-produced leading to food \"mountains\".\n\nA reform process, including the \"greening\" of the CAP which emphasised environmental practices, has resulted in farmers mostly being paid depending on how much land they own - but some wealthy UK landowners now receive subsidies of up to £3m a year.\n\nFor instance, the Newmarket farm of Khalid Abdullah al Saud, billionaire owner of the legendary horse Frankel, receives £400,000 a year. Lord Iveagh who lives on the 22,486-acre Elveden Estate in Suffolk, receives over £900,000.\n\nYet working out what to replace EU subsidies with is raising passions.\n\nMany farmers see opportunities once the UK is no longer in the Common Agricultural Policy\n\nAt the same conference the journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot had a run-in with the deputy head of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Minette Batters over the role of farmers after Brexit.\n\nMr Monbiot believes farming subsidies should be replaced by a fund to alleviate rural poverty, an environmental fund and help for new entrants into the sector.\n\nWhen he asked Ms Batters if she was happy to see subsidies paid to wealthy farmers. Ms Batters hesitated and then said: \"It depends on what they do with it,\" adding \"I can't emphasise it enough, farmers embrace the environment\".\n\nAn aghast-looking Mr Monbiot replied saying \"Farmers, have, more than any other group been responsible for the environmental degradation of the countryside.\"\n\nA few hundred yards down the road, another conference was going on. This was the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC), set up 10 years ago to give an alternative view on farming.\n\nWhile the OFC is all suits, largely men, and a large NFU presence, the ORFC is more woolly jumpers, more women, more beards and more delegates, many of them young.\n\nIf there is no free trade agreement with the EU Britain would rely on trading rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation\n\nThe two are not absolutely opposed to each other - coming together this year for the first time to jointly discuss the weighty subject of cheese and how to produce it.\n\nAnd the feeling at both conferences is that, despite uncertainties, everyone sees huge opportunities once the UK is no longer in the Common Agricultural Policy.\n\nAnd, of course, everyone is pushing their own agenda.\n\nGuy Watson, the founder of the country's largest organic retailer, Riverford Organic Farmers, bravely told a gathering of livestock farmers that \"there is no getting away from it, we have to eat less meat\"\n\nDavid Baldock, a senior fellow at the Institute for European Environmental Policy said: \"It's really not the end of the world to think that we are going to produce slightly less and better.\"\n\nSurprisingly neither were shouted down and there were even suggestions from the audience that VAT ought to be levied on meat.\n\nWhile most of the lobby groups have a view on reforming subsidies, they are less clear about the problem of trade.\n\n90% of UK exports in beef and lamb go to the EU\n\nIf there is no free trade agreement with the EU, Britain would rely on trading rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) which could be very uncomfortable for farmers having to pay taxes, or tariffs, to sell into the single market.\n\nCalum Kerr, MSP and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokesman for the SNP, said 90% of beef and lamb exports, and 70% of pork exports go to the EU.\n\n\"WTO rules would look at a minimum tariff into the EU of 20%. On red meat which ... is critically important [economic] modelling suggests anywhere between 50% and.... a 76% increase in costs into the EU market.\n\n\"That's why we believe we should remain a part of the EU market.\"\n\nThe NFU's Ms Batters said: \"We have to do a deal with Europe and it is a deal that will shape our landscape for generations to come.\"\n\nNearly every farmer believes Brexit offers an opportunity to change the system, but exactly how is a matter for debate\n\nAs for competing with countries outside the EU, Ms Leadsom promised she wouldn't lower environmental and animal welfare standards to clinch free trade deals.\n\nMs Batters, herself a beef farmer, said: \"The problem is that getting free trade deals in agriculture is notoriously difficult.\n\n\"Take Argentina. Michael Gove says he wants to do a deal with the South American countries. \"But they have a completely different system of rearing beef, using a degree of genetically modified products.\n\n\"I simply can't compete with that.\"\n\nNearly everyone believes Brexit offers an opportunity to change the system, but no one can agree how.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nManchester United duo Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay will not be selected while their futures remain unresolved, manager Jose Mourinho says.\n\nEverton hope to conclude a deal for Schneiderlin, 27, but United are yet to receive an acceptable bid for the midfielder, according to Mourinho.\n\n\"I will allow both of them to leave - if the right offer comes.

A fellow passer-by explains to me that pinatas are a Mexican tradition, particularly at Christmas and birthdays.\n\nHowever, Mexicans also like pinatas \"in the shape of everything we want to hit\", he says. \"The latest trend is Donald Trump pinatas,\" he adds.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A look back at some of the things Donald Trump has said about Mexicans\n\nMr Trump is not popular in Mexico. He was incredibly rude about Mexicans during his election campaign, and at a time when the world seems to be turning away from free trade he threatened to end the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) between the US, Mexico and Canada.\n\nThe important thing about Nafta is that companies importing and exporting between the three countries pay no tariffs. Mr Trump believes it's been bad for the US as cheaper Mexican labour has meant some US manufacturers have moved production across the border, resulting in job losses at home.\n\nNafta was implemented in 1994 and over the past 23 years Mexico has grown as a manufacturing hub. Today the United States and Mexico trade over $500bn (£400bn) in goods and services a year, equal to about $1.5bn a day. Mexico is the US's second-biggest export market, and the US is Mexico's largest.\n\nThierry Legros says without Nafta his farming business would be under threat\n\nRed Sun Farms, a large vegetable-growing firm in central Mexico, depends on the free trade agreement. Its managing director, Thierry Legros, shows me into a vast greenhouse, 200m long, with row upon row of tomato plants. The company also grows peppers and exports 90% of its crop to the US and Canada.\n\nSo what would it mean if Mr Trump repealed the Nafta agreement completely with its tariff-free trading? \"We might need to close the whole company,\" Thierry tells me. \"It would be around 3,000 direct jobs, so with all the indirect that's quite a lot, probably double that.\"\n\nOutside Thierry's office three flags flutter in the wind - one for each Nafta country.\n\nThe three Nafta flags at Red Sun Farms reflect the company's integration within the free trade area\n\nRed Sun Farms even owns a farm in the US and sends Mexican workers over there. However, there's a stark wage differential, with pay significantly higher in the US.\n\n\"Right now with the exchange rate that's huge,\" Thierry explains, \"it's about one to eight, one to 10.\"\n\nThese Red Sun Farms workers in Mexico earn far less than their counterparts in the US\n\nAs well as enabling Mexico to export freely, Nafta also opened the door to US imports, giving Mexican consumers much greater choice.\n\n\"It was an achievement, it was against history,\" says economic consultant Luis de la Calle, who was one of the negotiators of the free trade agreement.\n\n\"Most Mexicans thought that it was impossible or not convenient to have a strategic association with the US, and many people in the US never thought that Mexico could be their partner.\"\n\nYou can listen to In Business: Mexico and Mr Trump on BBC Radio 4 at 20:30 GMT on Thursday, 5 January and at 21:30 GMT on Sunday, 8 January.\n\nIncreased demand, as a result of free trade, forced Mexican manufacturers to improve quality.\n\nLuis de la Calle says that before Nafta Mexico had three producers of TV sets, and the quality was \"awful\". But today, Mexico is \"the largest manufacturer of TV sets in the world\". They are exported and are \"high quality, completely different from the protected market we had before\".\n\nThe instantly recognisable VW Beetles are manufactured in Puebla, Mexico\n\nMexico is now a centre of manufacturing for overseas companies, such as the motor industry. General Motors and Ford both have factories in Mexico as well as the US.\n\nBut Donald Trump has put public pressure on US companies not to move production, and has threatened to impose import duties on cars coming in from Mexico. It's a sensitive subject and the American carmakers refused to be interviewed.\n\nDonald Trump had this message for the car industry earlier this week\n\nHowever, in the city of Puebla, a two-hour drive from the capital, the German car manufacturer Volkswagen is the biggest employer with 14,000 staff. It's the only place in the world where VW produces its famous Beetle, and as you enter the site you're greeted by a display of Beetles suspended in the air like a piece of installation art. The Golf and Jetta models are also produced here.\n\nThomas Karig from VW Mexico was tight-lipped about whether the firm had come under any pressure about jobs\n\nLike the US carmakers, Volkswagen's Mexican production is integrated with its US plant. \"We use a lot of parts coming from the US for assembly here in Mexico in Puebla, and our colleagues in Chattanooga in Tennessee - they use a lot of parts coming from Mexico,\" explains Thomas Karig from Volkswagen Mexico.\n\nThis integration is possible because there are no tariffs to pay each time components are sent from one Nafta country to another. But when I ask whether Volkswagen has come under pressure from Mr Trump about keeping jobs in the US, the atmosphere cools and there is a curt \"no comment\".\n\nThe Nafta agreement has not benefited everyone in Mexico though. Some small farmers were unable to compete with US agricultural imports and big Mexican rivals.\n\nAccording to a study by the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, from 1991 to 2007 some 4.9 million family farmers were displaced. Some found work with big exporting agricultural companies, but there was still a net loss of 1.9 million jobs.\n\nThree of Aurelio's children are illegal migrants in the US\n\nAn hour's drive from Puebla I meet Aurelio, whose family has farmed a tiny patch of land since 1925. Deep in the dry countryside he raises a few cows.\n\nJob opportunities are scarce and three of his five children have migrated illegally to the US where they have found work painting cars. But Donald Trump has said he wants to deport illegal immigrants. Aurelio takes out his mobile phone and calls one of his sons in the US. Is his son worried about this, I ask.\n\nHis son says that if there is a chance of being deported they will have to look elsewhere, but adds: \"Mexico is a tough choice because of lack of opportunities, violence, high taxes and the economic situation, so it wouldn't be easy.\"\n\nPresident Obama has deported at least 2.4 million illegal immigrants so this isn't a new policy. And according to the Pew Research Center, by 2014 more Mexican immigrants returned to Mexico than migrated to the US.\n\nLuis de la Calle says both the US and Mexico benefit from Nafta\n\nMr de la Calle acknowledges that the free trade agreement has split the country. He says there are two types of regions in Mexico.\n\n\"[There are] parts of the south of Mexico that are disconnected from international trade, that are lagging behind, where Nafta had little impact. Rates of growth are low, there is little investment, and you don't see large manufacturing operations.\"\n\nIn contrast to this, he says: \"There are 16 or 17 other states that grow very fast, you see a lot of dynamism.\" These he describes as \"Nafta states\" with exporting businesses.\n\nHowever, he dismisses Mr Trump's criticism of Mexico. \"He says [Nafta's] been great for Mexico, actually his whole argument is that Mexico is doing so well. It's flattering.\"\n\nHe also claims that the US is benefiting from its close manufacturing links with Mexico.\n\nHowever, when I ask who would come off worst if Nafta were repealed, the US or Mexico, he answers, \"Mexico because we are smaller, but the US would lose quite a bit as well.\"\n\nDonald Trump wasn't the first US presidential candidate to criticise Nafta. Hillary Clinton and even Barack Obama did so on their campaign trails.\n\nBut abandoning it completely? The US may find it has too much to lose and perhaps Mr Trump has realised that too.\n\nIn Business: Mexico and Mr Trump is on BBC Radio 4 at 20:30 GMT on Thursday, 5 January and at 21:30 GMT on Sunday, 8 January.", "The family of a man whose torture was broadcast on Facebook have thanked the community and local police for their response.\n\nThey have asked for privacy from the public as they \"cope and heal\".\n\nFour people have been charged with hate crimes in relation to the Chicago assault, that police say lasted two days.", "Sony's chief executive says his firm must do more to help consumers get to grips with a mass of TV tech acronyms.\n\nKazuo Hirai made the pledge the day after announcing the firm's first 4K OLED screen, which he said supported two kinds of HDR.\n\nRory Cellan-Jones has more from the CES tech show in Las Vegas.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017", "Mona Tinsley's face smiled out of countless newspaper articles and police leaflets\n\nIt is 80 years since the murder of 10-year-old Mona Tinsley, a case which was by turns grisly, seedy and bizarre. It enthralled a nation and helped change the age-old principle that a murder could not be proved without a body.\n\n\"Oh it couldn't possibly be him,\" said Lilian Tinsley to the assembled police.\n\nOfficers had a lead in the disappearance of Mona, her slight but sprightly 10-year-old daughter, but needed help.\n\nJust hours after she vanished after leaving her Newark-on-Trent school on 5 January 1937, a witness identified a man seen nearby as a former lodger from the Tinsleys' home.\n\nLocal historian Chris Hobbs said: \"The reaction of Lilian and her husband Wilfred, when questioned, was odd. They seemed evasive.\n\nThe house at the centre of the case has changed little on the outside\n\n\"When pressed by officers, Mrs Tinsley admitted they briefly had a lodger, known to the children as 'Uncle Fred'.\n\n\"Eventually she gave a name, Frederick Hudson, and, seemingly with great reluctance, the fact he was a friend of her sister Edith Grimes in Sheffield.\n\n\"Why would the parents be like this with the safety of their daughter at stake?\" Mr Hobbs queried.\n\nA possible, and murky, answer would emerge.\n\nMrs Grimes gave them a slightly different name - Frederick Nodder - but insisted she had not seen him for months. This turned out to be a blatant lie.\n\nOfficers quickly found a neighbour who had seen Nodder in Sheffield just after Christmas, driving a lorry marked 'Retford', a market town in Nottinghamshire.\n\nThis led them to a haulage firm which provided an address in the nearby hamlet of Hayton. It was only a day since Mona had disappeared.\n\nBritish justice was haunted by the wrongful execution of three people in 1660\n\nLegal historian Benjamin Darlow says: \"This principle dates back to the case of William Harrison in 1660, known as the Campden Wonder. Mr Harrison disappeared from near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, in 1660 and two men and a woman were found guilty and hanged for the crime.\n\n\"In 1662, Mr Harrison turned up with a story about being kidnapped. This had a dramatic impact on English criminal law and the 'no body, no murder' principle survived for the next 294 years.\n\n\"The Mona Tinsley case was part of an important narrative in the 20th Century which built up to the abolition of the principle in English Law in 1954.\n\n\"It was perhaps the most high-profile and widely reported case in this timeline.\n\n\"There is no longer a 'no body, no murder' principle in English criminal law.\n\n\"A murder conviction can be based on circumstantial evidence if it is compelling and convincing enough.\n\n\"While the principle is gone, it is still very difficult to prove murder without a body, unless there is alternative strong evidence pointing to the murderer.\"\n\nConfronted outside his rented house, Nodder, 50, denied any involvement but a girl was seen at the house at about noon that day, just a few hours before.\n\nA search found a child's drawings as well as fingerprints on crockery. Nodder was arrested.\n\nWitnesses placed him on a bus from Newark to Retford on Tuesday afternoon. He was accompanied by a girl.\n\nFaced by this evidence, Nodder asked to see Mrs Grimes, insisting this would lead to Mona being found \"alive and well\".\n\nNodder's house (centre, between trees) was a short distance from the Chesterfield canal\n\nMr Hobbs said: \"It came out that Mrs Grimes had in fact seen Nodder on a weekly basis since he left Sheffield. She knew full well where Nodder lived but did not tell police.\n\n\"Newspaper reports describe them as being \"friendly\" but it is striking how both she and Mrs Tinsley tried to deflect attention away from Nodder.\n\n\"It seems likely Mrs Grimes was having an affair with him but it is surprising both she and Mona's own mother were prepared to obstruct the police investigation.\n\n\"Had it delayed the search by vital hours?\"\n\nHundreds of people turned out to search fields and help police drag local rivers\n\nBut when they met, Nodder offered only a statement insisting he had sent Mona to Sheffield to see Mrs Grimes.\n\nNobody believed a word of Nodder's new statement - but the lack of a corpse hampered the investigation.\n\nAfter searches of the house, garden, nearby countryside and the ominously close Chesterfield canal, and just beyond it the River Idle, fat with winter rain, no new trace of the girl was uncovered.\n\nOn 10 January 1937 Nodder was charged, but only with abduction.\n\nDivining, or dowsing, claims the twitching of sticks can locate lost objects or water sources\n\nThe desperate search for Mona used many conventional methods - but also some more bizarre efforts.\n\nDiviners - who search for an item with the aid of sticks or rods and mysterious intuition - featured prominently in the hunt for the girl, often seeming to direct the efforts of police.\n\nMost prominent was James Clarke of Melton Mowbray, who, carrying one of Mona's shoes and guided by whalebone sticks, focused on a gravel pit. On 14 January he told the Nottingham Post, \"Never was I more confident of success. I am so confident that if I was younger I would dig myself.\"\n\nThe pit was cleared. Nothing was found.\n\nSeveral mediums featured in the case. The Daily Mirror tested three - gaining access to both the Tinsley family and Nodder's house - but was given vague or conflicting answers.\n\nEstelle Roberts, one of the most famous psychics of the 1930s, later claimed to have been chauffeured to the the crime scene by police and told them Mona was in the river.\n\nWhatever she revealed to officers at the time, it was not enough to find the little girl.\n\nThe case made national headlines. The Daily Express offered a £250 reward to find Mona, a different editor was threatened with jail for contempt for publishing a photo of Nodder.\n\nPress and public queued to get into hearings. It was reported some were \"laughing and joking as they pushed and struggled to their places\" and were told off by court officials.\n\nNodder stood trial in Birmingham just two months later.\n\nEfforts to solve the mystery even featured in upmarket picture magazine The Sphere\n\nHis defence argued hard Mona might still be found alive and well and no-one should speculate on her fate. Nodder did not give evidence.\n\nThe jury took 16 minutes to convict him. He was jailed for seven years.\n\nClearly frustrated by what he felt was a killer getting away lightly, Judge Mr Justice Rigby Swift said: \"You have been, most properly in my opinion, convicted by the jury of a dreadful crime.\n\n\"What you did with that little girl, what became of her, only you know. It may be that time will reveal the dreadful secret which you carry in your breast.\"\n\nThe searches had been exhaustive. Hundreds of volunteers had combed the countryside, leaflets had been handed out, an appeal broadcast on radio. The canal had been drained for five miles, the river dredged.\n\nAs it stood, Nodder just had to bide his time.\n\nNodder was described as unkempt but seemed to have been trusted by the Tinsley children\n\nBut his luck ran out on 6 June. A family boating on the River Idle, a few miles downstream of Hayton, spotted a suspicious object under the water.\n\nWhen police arrived they found it was a body snagged in a drain.\n\nIt was taken to a nearby pub where Wilfred Tinsley identified his daughter by her clothes.\n\nInjuries to her neck showed Mona had been strangled with a cord. Nodder was charged with murder.\n\nNodder was hanged at Lincoln Prison still maintaining his innocence\n\nThe law moved with vengeful speed. In November, the second time in a year, he stood trial. This time he gave evidence - still insisting he had put Mona on a bus for Sheffield.\n\nA two-day trial saw his defence, which claimed nothing directly proved he had killed Mona and no motive was established, briskly dismissed.\n\nSentencing Nodder to death, Mr Justice Mcnaughton remarked: \"Justice has slowly but surely overtaken you\".\n\nOn 30 December 1937, Frederick Nodder was hanged in Lincoln Prison.\n\nAfter the noose had done its work and the Tinsleys were left to grieve, the echo of the murder carried on. Its twists and revelations helped usher in a new way of seeking justice for the dead.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Yaya Toure's penalty gives Manchester City the lead after West Ham's Angelo Ogbonna fouls Pablo Zabaleta in their FA Cup third-round tie at London Stadium.\n\nAvailable to UK users only.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nSunderland boss David Moyes says Jermain Defoe is not for sale amid speculation about the veteran striker's future.\n\nThe club rejected a £6m bid from West Ham for the 34-year-old on Wednesday and the Hammers were reportedly willing to double their bid .\n\n\"We have said Jermain is not for sale and he is not for sale.

If there is one place above all others to be covering sport this year, it is Auckland on 24 June for the first Test of what should be a titanic series.\n\nHaving come third in the 2015 World Cup, England's women footballers will have high hopes in the biggest Euros staged to date, with 16 participants vying for glory in the Netherlands.\n\nA mouth-watering opening tie against Scotland in Utrecht on 19 July should ensure significant interest in a competition that is expected to give another major boost to the women's game.\n\nThis summer will also see England host the women's cricket World Cup, and Ireland stage the rugby union World Cup, with England confident of retaining the title they won three years ago.\n\nThe last time England turned up in Australia for the Ashes, they were humiliated, with batsman Jonathan Trott leaving a shambolic tour early, Graeme Swann retiring mid-series, and Kevin Pietersen playing his last Test before being banished.\n\nThis time, with the likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes now firmly established among the world's finest cricketers, they should fare significantly better that the 5-0 whitewash they endured in 2013-14. By the time the series starts in November, Australia will have also hosted rugby league's World Cup, with England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland all involved.\n\nElsewhere, in football it will be fascinating to see who prevails in the Premier League, with the 'big six' clubs having restored the natural order after the Leicester City 'miracle' last season. And there is the climax to qualification for the 2018 World Cup to look forward to as well.\n\nThe incredible spending potential of China's clubs will no doubt continue the power shift in football's transfer market, along with more Chinese investment in English clubs.\n\nIt is also a big year for sailing, with Sir Ben Ainslie aiming to bring the America's Cup to Britain for the first time.\n\nLewis Hamilton is favourite to claim a fourth world title as F1 prepares for life without last year's winner Nico Rosberg, and with Liberty Media hoping to complete their multi-billion dollar takeover of the motorsport series, expect change away from the the track too, with much interest in the next move of F1's 86-year-old commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone.\n\nIn tennis, world number one Andy Murray will attempt to win the Australian Open for the first time, and cycling's Chris Froome will target a fourth Tour de France victory, while Carl Frampton v Leo Santa Cruz and Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko are the highlights of a bumper year in boxing.\n\nAnd perhaps we will finally discover if the prospect of a mega-fight between UFC superstar Conor McGregor and retired unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather is anything more than just talk.\n\nDoping was the longest-running and biggest single issue in sports news last year, with claims of Russian state-sponsored cheating laid bare in two damning reports by Professor Richard McLaren, the build-up to the Rio Games overshadowed by the scandal, and the suspension of tennis star Maria Sharapova.\n\nIn 2017, sports' leaders will be under mounting pressure to finally decide how to regain trust in the world's anti-doping regime. When the two International Olympic Committee (IOC) commissions have concluded their work, the organisation must punish Russia.\n\nWith more positive results from the re-testing of Russian samples from London 2012 and Sochi 2014 expected over the coming weeks, and with the country already having been stripped of the bobsleigh and skeleton World Championships in March, should it also be banned from the winter Games next year?\n\nRussia has now admitted some doping took place, but continues to contest any government involvement, and there are serious doubts that it can persuade athletics' governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), to lift its suspension of the country's track and field athletes in time for the World Championships.\n\nThe long-anticipated reform of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) must also be decided. Will it be granted the autonomy, additional resources, and sanctioning power that many in the anti-doping community are demanding?\n\nThese are the difficult questions international sport must wrestle with over the coming months as it tries to recover from the worst doping scandal in history.\n\nThere could be more bad news on the way however, with reports that the names of athletes who had bags of blood confiscated as part of Operation Puerto in Spain may be revealed. And could the Fancy Bears hackers cause more mayhem with further revelations?\n\nFor the Football Association, Clive Sheldon QC has become a very important man.\n\nThe barrister is heading up the governing body's review into allegations of child sexual abuse, and the FA is under mounting pressure to make the findings public, and then to act on them decisively and appropriately.\n\nWith hundreds of victims coming forward, more than 155 suspects identified, and 148 clubs involved - so far - the scale of the scandal is breathtaking.\n\nBritish football seeks answers to the worst crisis in its history\n\nWith the possibility of more suspensions of officials, along with the prospect of further criminal charges, and compensation claims, this story will extend well beyond 2017 as British football seeks answers to the worst crisis in its history.\n\nCurrent footballers may have been slow to publicly back the Offside Trust - set up to support the victims of abuse - but the issue of child protection in sport is here to stay.\n\nAfter the most turbulent year in its history, cycling is braced for the conclusion of two separate investigations.\n\nUK Sport will shortly announce the findings of an independent review into whether there was a culture of bullying and sexism at governing body British Cycling after a series of allegations from former riders and employees.\n\nMeanwhile, after being questioned by MPs over the circumstances surrounding a medical package delivered to his former rider Sir Bradley Wiggins, the future of one of the country's leading sports coaches - Team Sky supremo Sir Dave Brailsford - will hinge on the outcome of a UK Anti-Doping investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in the sport.\n\nWiggins recently announced his retirement. But with the parliamentary committee considering calling more witnesses, do not expect the controversy over his use of therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) before major races to go away.\n\nWiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI.\n\nThe pressure is still on the country's most decorated Olympian - and its most successful sport. The British President of the UCI, Brian Cookson, will seek re-election, while British Cycling must appoint a new chief executive.\n\nThe countdown to what has the potential to be the most controversial World Cup to date has begun.\n\nOrganisers of Russia 2018 have already had to defend themselves against accusations of corruption in the bidding process, racist behaviour, and, since those chaotic scenes at last year's Euros in France, a new generation of hooligans.\n\nThe recent state-sponsored doping scandal has only intensified calls for Russia to be stripped of football's showpiece event. Lots will be at stake this summer when the nation hosts the Confederations Cup - the traditional dress-rehearsal for the World Cup.\n\nFor three cities, the clock is ticking down to Wednesday, 13 September.\n\nThat is when, in Lima, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will gather amid the usual fanfare, and vote to decide the hosts of the 33rd Olympiad in 2024. Before then, expect eight months of presentations, inspection visits and relentless lobbying.\n\nThe race is seen as a straight fight between what appear to be two 'safe' candidate cities; Los Angeles and Paris, both bidding to stage the Games for a third time. But the IOC is under serious pressure over the budget-busting costs and questionable legacy benefits of their showpiece event.\n\nSo how better to prove that President Thomas Bach's 'Agenda 2020' reforms - designed to bring about cheaper, more sustainable Games - are actually working, than to award them to a more modest bid, from a smaller city, like dark horses Budapest?\n\nParis remains the favourite, but with US network NBC paying the IOC billions in broadcast rights, and with the next three Olympics all heading to Asian time zones (especially unfavourable to American TV audiences), LA's supporters are growing increasingly confident that it is their turn.\n\nWill a Donald Trump administration harm the US city's chances? Could the possible election of far-right leader Marine Le Pen in France's presidential election in April have a similar impact on Paris? All will be revealed in Peru.\n\nThe integrity of sport will continue to be a priority for politicians in 2017, with the government committed to a review of the UK Anti-Doping Agency.\n\nAlso expect significant interest in whether the government's latest sports strategy - intended to tackle inactivity - especially among the poor and children - is making any progress.\n\nBy April, all sports that want to receive public funding must also show they are taking steps to comply with a new governance code, designed to improve decision-making, transparency and diversity on boards.\n\nSports that controversially lost out in UK Sport's recent divvy-up of National Lottery elite performance funding will have their appeals heard. And with football's abuse scandal emphasising the importance of child protection, Baroness Grey-Thompson's review into sports' duty of care towards athletes will also take on extra significance.\n\nWith the election of a new president, 2016 was a year of relative calm for Fifa as football's world governing body tried to move on from the scandal that shook it to the core.\n\nBut later this year, the long-awaited trial of defendants in the wide-ranging corruption case, led by the FBI, begins in New York.\n\nThere will be other issues of course; from the threat of terrorism, to safe-standing in football, concussion in rugby, mechanical doping in cycling, tax evasion and the rise of e-sports. The sports news agenda in 2017 could be as intriguing, controversial and scandalous as ever.", "Last updated on .From the section FA Cup\n\nCoverage: Live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 live and BBC local radio; text commentary on the BBC Sport website & app\n\nPep Guardiola says he is looking forward to a \"special\" first FA Cup game in charge of Manchester City in their third-round tie at West Ham.\n\nCity face the Hammers at London Stadium on Friday night, live on BBC One.\n\n\"The cup is special because the lower team can beat the big teams, which is why it is fascinating,\" said Guardiola.\n\n\"I'm looking forward to it, but of course it's a Premier League game so it will be tough. We were unlucky in the draw.\"\n\nWest Ham manager Slaven Bilic said the tie is a \"big game\" for both sides and the fans.\n\n\"They will put out a very strong team because it is a big chance for them to get a trophy,\" he added.\n\nThe game at London Stadium is the first of 32 third-round ties across four days this weekend.\n\nBBC One also has live coverage of Tottenham v Aston Villa on Sunday (16:00 GMT) while 5 live Sport's Mark Chapman presents Saturday's show from Sutton United ahead of their tie with AFC Wimbledon.\n\nCity goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was uncertain in the air in the 2-1 win over Burnley on Monday, failing to deal with a corner that led to Ben Mee's goal for the visitors.\n\nIt was the latest in a series of mistakes by Bravo, but Guardiola said the Chilean - who could come up against West Ham's powerful striker Andy Carroll on Friday - is adapting to the physical nature of English football.\n\n\"I see many goalkeepers who had the same problems as Claudio with these balls and when they fight for them, it's not only Claudio Bravo,\" said the Spaniard.\n\n\"He's intelligent enough, he has experience enough, he was nominated one of the five best keepers in the world, he has experience in Europe, all around the world, in South America, where the intensity of the games is so tough.\n\n\"He realised immediately with these sort of balls into the box he had to be careful because it's special.\n\n\"It's not necessary to read the newspapers or the comments of the coach saying, 'Go there, be careful here, it's quite different'. He realised already.\"\n\n'Pep knew what he was in for'\n\nGuardiola also insisted he is not ready to quit management, after he had said he was \"arriving at the end\" of his career following the Burnley match - when he also gave a testy post-match interview to BBC Sport.\n\nWhen asked about Guardiola's conduct, Bilic said: \"I saw his interview but maybe he was just tired after a couple of games in three days.\n\n\"Maybe after the great start they made some fans or pundits expected them to cruise in the league, especially with Guardiola.\n\n\"But it is never easy in any league, especially here. They are not struggling but for their standards, to be however many points from the top is probably not what they expected.\n\n\"He's never worked in a smaller club, he's never fought against relegation or mid-table or anything different than 'we have to win the league'.\n\n\"Is it Barcelona, is it Bayern, is it Man City? It's the same. He knew the intensity of the English league, he was well prepared for a difficult season. He didn't expect anything less than he is getting or has faced so far.\"\n\nGuardiola has said he will play a full-strength side on Friday, while midfielder Soufiane Feghouli is available for West Ham after his red card against Manchester United on Saturday was rescinded.\n\nBilic also confirmed on-loan striker Simone Zaza will not play for West Ham again to avoid having to pay a £17.1m permanent-deal fee to parent club Juventus, which would have been triggered after 15 first-team appearances.\n\nZaza was signed on a season-long loan in August for a initial fee of £4.2m but has not scored in the 11 games he has featured in and has not played in the league since November.\n\nSign up for the 2017 FA People's Cup and take your chance to win tickets to the FA Cup final in May and achieve national five-a-side glory.\n\n\"He is still our player until he goes somewhere but mainly because of the situation with his contract he is finished here,\" said Bilic.\n\n\"Unfortunately we had to judge him on six, seven, eight games which is not a big pattern to judge a player in general.\n\n\"He is definitely a good player but like many times in football, it just didn't happen.\"\n\nSign up for the FA People's Cup is under way - head to bbc.co.uk/getinspired to get involved.", "Billy Willson received a 4.0 grade point average, the equivalent to straight As, for his first semester at Kansas State University. He decided that it would also be his last.\n\nIn a strongly worded Facebook post, Willson uploaded a photograph of himself standing outside the university's sign, holding his middle finger up to it. In the accompanying text he wrote:\n\n\"YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will see it some day,\" he wrote.\n\n\"You are being put thousands into debt to learn things you will never even use. Wasting 4 years of your life to be stuck at a paycheck that grows slower than the rate of inflation. Paying $200 for a $6 textbook.\"\n\nBilly and his girlfriend Brittany Quinn at a Kansas State University football game\n\nHis post, which has been shared more than 10,000 times in little more than a fortnight and has provoked a vigorous debate in the comments, appears to have struck a chord with other young adults who are wondering if pursuing higher education is worth the time and money.\n\nWillson, who was on an Architectural Engineering undergraduate course told BBC Trending that the \"cost of inflation is relatively small compared to the cost of college over the last 30 or so years. I mean, it really is ridiculous how the cost of college has gone up.\"\n\nHe's backed up by data. According to the US Department of Education the average annual increase in college tuition in the United States, between 1980-2014, grew by nearly 260% compared to the nearly 120% increase in all consumer items.\n\nIn 1980, the average cost of tuition, room and board, and fees for a four-year course was over $9,000. That cost now is more than $23,000 for state colleges. If you want to go private it's more than $30,000.\n\nA similar hike in tuition fees has also been seen in England. In 2012, the government backed initiatives from some universities to charge more than the £9,000 tuition fee limit.\n\nIn the post Willson also cited higher education debt as a reason to leave university and enter the work place. Students in the United States are estimated to be in around over $1.2 trillion of loan debt with 7 million borrowers in default.\n\nWillson says that when he first told his parents that he was leaving university, they were \"very upset\" but are now supportive of his decision. So were dozens of others of people who commented on Facebook.\n\nTrey Foshee wrote: \"Years and money wasted. Very much agree. I have two degrees that I would sell back right now if they'd let me.\"\n\nOthers, like Blair Brown, agreed with Willson also pointed out that some professions do require a university degree.\n\n\"Being an engineer, scientist, or computer technician could be learned rather quickly through apprenticeships, independent study, and hands-on experience. Human nature is to learn by doing, not learning to do. As for more professional careers such as medical doctors and lawyers, university study is admittedly necessary,\" Brown commented.\n\nNot everyone was supportive however, a comment on The Collegian, Kansas State's student newspaper accused Willson of adding to stereotypes about his generation:\n\n\"First of all, thanks for continuing to destroy the millennial reputation with your entitled, everything-should-be-easy, get-me-rich-fast mentality... You have completely just destroyed your reputation. When you fall hard and fast...you are going to need a real, big kid job and guess what? Something called Google exists and even my grandma can dig up dirt on you.\"\n\nWillson, who told Trending that he is currently employed for a trade show sales team and his employers did Google him and they saw the funny side. He adds that he hopes enough work experience will allow him to be employed by an architectural engineering team in the future.\n\nHe doesn't think university will play any part in that future.\n\n\"They would have to make a massive change to the system before I would consider that and I don't think they'll do that while I'm still young enough to want to go\"\n\nA shocking, graphic video showing torture and racial abuse led far-right activists to link the perpetrators to the Black Lives Matter movement.

LG unveiled its \"wallpaper TV' at the CES tech show in Las Vegas\n\nSouth Korean tech giants LG and Samsung have launched TVs that aim to better blend in to consumers' living rooms.\n\nLG 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.\n\nSamsung also unveiled a flagship set boasting greater brightness levels than before.\n\nOthers, including Sony, also revealed new models.\n\nSamsung'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.\n\nSamsung 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.\n\nSamsung's quantum dots are tiny particles that emit light of different colours\n\nThe 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.\n\n\"It's insanely bright,\" said Jack Wetherill, a tech analyst at Futuresource.\n\n\"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.\"\n\nThis sets it apart from other set makers who use another premium TV screen technology, OLED (organic light-emitting diode).\n\nSuch screens use a carbon-based film allowing the panel to emit its own light, rather than being backlit - this enables the ultra thin designs.\n\nQuantum dot TVs might not be able to display the deepest blacks possible with OLED, but they are generally brighter.\n\nLG's newest TV sticks out just 3.85mm from a wall when mounted against it\n\nLG'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.\n\nBut 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\".\n\nLG 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.\n\nMany 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.\n\n\"It is more vibrant, the colours are more distinctive,\" said Mr Wetherill.\n\n\"It does bring a much more impressive and immersive experience - no question about that.\"\n\nIt 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.\n\nThe Samsung Lifestyle TV could be mistaken for a painting\n\nSamsung 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\".\n\nIt comes in a wooden frame, in an attempt to look like a painting.\n\nSony also announced a new 4K OLED TV - its first - the latest in its Bravia range.\n\nAs 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.\n\nInstead, it emits sound via vibrations produced on the surface of the screen itself.\n\nThe new Bravia TV doesn't have speakers - the screen vibrates instead, which emits sounds\n\nThis wasn't demonstrated at the press conference, noted Mr Wetherill, but it was, he said, \"an interesting concept\".\n\nPanasonic 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.\n\nAt last year's consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin, the company had said it would release details of the TV during the winter.\n\nFollow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Jill Saward, who became a sexual assault campaigner after she was raped during a burglary at her father's vicarage in 1986, has died after suffering a stroke.\n\nJune Kelly looks back at her life and legacy.", "BBC weather presenter Michael Fish reading the signs available to him\n\n\"The only function of economic forecasting,\" JK Galbraith once said, \"is to make astrology look respectable.\"\n\nWith disarming honesty, the Bank of England's chief economist, Andrew Haldane, has admitted that criticisms that economic forecasts had been wrong before the financial crisis and wrong about the immediate impact of a Brexit vote were a \"fair cop\".\n\nThe profession, he said, was facing a crisis of confidence.\n\nMr Haldane went on to describe the failure to understand the impact of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 as the profession's \"Michael Fish moment\" - when the weather forecaster suggested in 1987 there wasn't a hurricane on the way before record high winds devastated large parts of the south east of England.\n\nTo be clear, Mr Haldane was talking about economists as a whole - not just the Bank - and said he still fundamentally agreed with the Bank's central forecast - made last November - that 2017 and 2018 could see a \"material\" slowdown in economic activity and a significant rise in inflation.\n\nThe Bank was right to suggest that sterling would fall in value following a Brexit vote.\n\nBut, consumer confidence has held up far more robustly than expected and, yet again, it is clear that while economic models can make reasoned judgements about the future, those judgements can prove erroneous.\n\nParticularly when they attempt to account for \"shock\" events - the financial crisis (when forecasts undercooked the effects) or the vote to leave the European Union (when models over-cooked the short term effects and failed to account for \"dynamic\" policy responses such as the Bank itself cutting interest rates to new record lows).\n\nMr Haldane said that economists could learn from meteorologists, who now use much more data to understand how weather patterns develop.\n\nMeteorology is, of course, a science.\n\nEconomics is a study, ultimately, of human behaviour - what millions, billions, of people may or may not do, given a certain set of circumstances.\n\nMaking judgements on that is always going to be a tricky, imprecise business.", "When a fire at an underground music event in California killed 36, families whose adult children had been missing for months or years were among those who feared the worst. Daleen Berry explains why she went looking for her daughter at the Ghost Ship.\n\nI had moved across the country to find my daughter, Trista, but the deadly warehouse fire in Oakland in December forced me to take the first step, the one I had been dreading.\n\nAfter hearing that people actually lived in the warehouse of artists' studios and performance spaces known as the Ghost Ship, I needed to see for myself, to ensure Trista - the name I'll call her to protect her privacy - was not among the dead.\n\nAt the scene many had gathered to grieve and pay their respects. There were also people like me, who had lost touch with their loved ones for weeks, months, or even years, and were fearful they were inside when the fire started.\n\nI took the advice of an officer and drove to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, where they had set up a makeshift family assistance centre to provide emotional support and privacy for the family members. We waited for updates from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and found comfort in a safe place, together.\n\nOn one wall inside the centre were three lists: the confirmed dead, those who had been located and were safe, and those still reported as missing. On that last list were about 150 names.\n\nI knew then I was far from alone. Somehow, it made it easier to speak the words I'd refused to let myself believe: \"My daughter is missing.\"\n\nUnlike TV, where missing people are portrayed as victims of sexual trafficking or serial murderers, most adults disappear for far less sinister reasons. As of late December, the California justice department had 20,470 reports of missing persons in the state.\n\nOf those, 7,854 are like my daughter, classified as \"voluntary missing adults\".\n\nMore than 8,000 are runaways.\n\nAnother 1,060 people were taken by a family member, while 764 disappeared under suspicious circumstances and 114 went missing during a catastrophe.\n\nAt just 51, stranger abduction cases number the lowest.\n\nThe 48 hours in the family assistance centre were among the most painful in my life, as I struggled to answer one question after another.\n\nWhen did you last hear from your daughter?\n\nDo you have a preferred funeral home?\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Oakland residents held a vigil for victims of the fire\n\nA few months earlier I had packed up everything I owned, leaving behind family and friends to follow Trista's path west. I didn't tell them the real reason I was leaving - I wouldn't rest until I knew where Trista was.\n\nA kind and caring free spirit, Trista had gravitated to places like the Ghost Ship in the past. I knew that she might have lived there because this was her community: musicians, artists and other creative people.\n\nWhen I went to work for a small start-up in Oakland in 2009, she lived with me, then later followed me back to West Virginia.\n\nFrom there she travelled to Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, meeting up with fellow musicians. She was content to live in her own world, collecting items cast to the kerb and transforming them into beautiful works of art.\n\nBut by 2014, while I was put the finishing touches on a true crime book about a missing daughter, Trista was becoming increasingly distant and withdrawn.\n\nBy then, my daughter's temporary forays into seclusion had become legendary.\n\nI had been trying to understand them for 10 years because, at times weeks or even months would pass without so much as a word.\n\nBut I always knew she would reach out to someone - my sister, her brother, my mother.\n\nTrista terminated all but two ties in February 2015, when she returned to the Bay Area.\n\nBy June 2016, the last time I heard from her, she severed the rest.\n\nI called her brother in San Francisco: he hadn't heard from her in a year.\n\nShe changed her cell phone number. All of my emails to her bounced back.\n\n\"The email account that you tried to reach does not exist,\" Google repeatedly told me.\n\nThis wasn't my first trip to Oakland to look for Trista. I drove there one month before the fire. I needed to check out our old neighbourhood in case my daughter had returned. She hadn't.\n\nSome of the victims of the fire were LGBT or made outcasts in other ways; people who believed their families had given up on them - or vice versa.\n\nBut families like mine with missing children don't give up. We may stumble around, accidentally making matters worse.\n\nBut it is never intentional. I met a few other parents whose children died in the fire.\n\nThey didn't leave until the last handful of charred ashes was carried from the scene - when they knew for sure their child was truly, finally gone.\n\nA day after the fire, I finally forced myself to open the laptop Trista left behind in West Virginia a year earlier.\n\nI spent hours reaching out to her friends, fellow musicians, and a previous employer.\n\nThey hadn't heard from her in years. No one knew anything.\n\nIt was like Trista had closed the door on her old life, never to reopen it again.\n\nBut I couldn't just wait for a phone call telling me if my daughter was dead or alive. I had to know myself, so I drove to Oakland from Sacramento.\n\nAnd waited, for as long as it took.\n\nAfter spending two days at the family services centre, I stumbled into my hotel room, still struggling with the enormity of it all. What will I do if they find her? What if they don't?\n\nThe following morning, one of the mental health professionals on hand to help the families guided me down a corridor and into an office.\n\nThere, two women greeted me from the state justice department's missing persons unit.\n\n\"We've located 1,000 people since 2001,\" they said.\n\n\"Even a few live Jane Does,\" they added hopefully.\n\nThey asked more questions. I signed more paperwork. Then, after careful instructions, a gloved hand gave me what looked like a pink and white emery board.\n\nI opened my mouth, did as they directed, and handed over my saliva - my DNA - and the only link to my daughter.\n\nI just wanted to find Trista.

It throws up some interesting details and possible explanations about what is going wrong.\n\nOutput per hour worked increased by 0.4% in the three months to September last year, that is an improvement but according to (ONS) economist Richard Heys: \"It is still weak compared to that experienced in the recent past.\"\n\nPart of the reason for low productivity lies in Britain's regions. While London and south-eastern England have productivity well above the national average and equal to the levels seen in rival economies like France and Germany, the rest of the country lags behind.\n\nTower Hamlets, which includes the financial district of Canary Wharf, is the most productive part of the country, a huge 79% more productive than average.\n\nPowys in central Wales is the least productive and, overall, Wales and Northern Ireland have productivity levels 19% below the national average.\n\nThe only towns in the country that have above average productivity are London, Aberdeen (centre of the off-shore oil industry) and Bristol (a high tech and aviation industry hub).\n\nThe Bristol area is one of the most productive in the country\n\nThe least productive city is Sheffield, once home to a huge steel industry but now lagging well behind; Sheffield is 19% less productive than the national average.\n\nThis part of the productivity puzzle is perhaps the best understood. The most productive industry is finance and that is concentrated in London, while many regions suffer from poor infrastructure and communications and have never recovered from the loss of major parts of their economy in previous decades: mining, heavy engineering, ship building and many more.\n\nPerhaps more interesting, is new research by the ONS into the efficiency of family-owned and run manufacturing firms.\n\nThat found well-structured management practices were better among larger businesses, multinationals and family-owned businesses that were not managed by members of the owning families. To put it bluntly the management of family-run firms (which make up more than half of all manufacturing companies) is awful.\n\nEven a small improvement in management would see a huge boost in productivity in such businesses.\n\nAt first sight this might seem strange, but there is a fairly obvious explanation.\n\nWhat are the odds that the best-qualified and most competent person in the world to run a business just happens to be the son or daughter of the current boss?\n\nAs one economist has put it, this is like selecting the children of previous gold medallists to be members of the country's next Olympic team, rather than picking the best athletes.\n\nThere is also the issue of how such companies will attract top staff if they know nepotism means they will never make it to the top, which helps explain why the handling of promotions was one of the issues most associated with productivity.\n\nSolving the productivity gap in the UK will not be an easy job, certainly better regional policies would help, but just convincing family- run firms to appoint competent outsiders to run their business would also have a huge effect.", "Four black people face hate crime and kidnapping charges for the Facebook Live-aired torture of a mentally disabled white man.\n\nIn the video, the assailants can be heard making derogatory statements against white people and Donald Trump.\n\nStudent Shelby, a supporter of Black Lives Matter, told World Have Your Say the social campaign group is being unfairly linked to the attack.\n\nListen to World Have Your Say on the BBC iPlayer.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nSir Andy Murray will face defending champion Novak Djokovic in the Qatar Open final on Saturday after beating third seed Tomas Berdych in the semis.\n\nMurray won 6-3 6-4 against Czech Berdych, who needed treatment on an ankle injury after the first set.\n\nIt will be the 19th ATP final meeting between Murray and the man he replaced as world number one in November.\n\nSecond seed Djokovic survived five match points on his way to beating Fernando Verdasco in his semi-final.\n\nMurray, who won the tournament in 2008 and 2009, has now recorded 28 consecutive victories in ATP Tour matches.\n\n\"I want to try and keep it going - I feel a little bit like this year's a fresh start,\" he told Eurosport.\n\n\"It's been the perfect week to get ready for the Australian Open.\"\n\nEarlier, Serb Djokovic made only one unforced error in the decider to win 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 after Spaniard Verdasco, ranked 42nd in the world, controlled the first two sets.\n\n\"It's definitely one of the most exciting matches I have played,\" Djokovic said. \"I haven't saved five match points many times.

Film writer Aseem Chhabra believes he never got the recognition he deserved.\n\nIn one scene he spoke in a delightful Punjabi accented English and cautiously suggested to Charlie Wilson, a Congressman from Texas played by Tom Hanks, that covert aid to the mujahideen, fighting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, should pass through the hands of the Pakistani government.\n\nI wanted to write something on this terrific actor, one of the few from India who straddled so many film spaces - from Bollywood to Indian art house indies, British Asian immigrant stories and big Hollywood productions.\n\nBut the publicists for the film and even the studio Universal Pictures informed me that they had no images of Puri.\n\nSadly this amazing actor had left no impression on the publicists who were mostly focused on promoting Hanks and his co-star Julia Roberts.\n\nPuri acted in over 300 film projects in India and abroad, and yet he did not get the kind of recognition that he surely deserved.\n\nHe won two National Awards in India in the acting category (Arohan, 1982 and Ardh Satya, 1983), and was recognised at a number of film festivals, including a lifetime achievement medal at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival.\n\nDirector Roland Joffé cast Puri in a supporting role in City of Joy\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Om Puri found international fame for his roles in films such as East is East\n\nHe was even nominated for a Bafta film award in 2000 for playing the lead in Ayub Khan Din's autobiographical British film East is East.\n\nBut unfortunately in the last decade or so Puri, the actor, was largely forgotten in the West and even in India.\n\nHe did play one last big role in the West - that of an Indian chef in a remote French town in The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014), opposite a feisty Helen Mirren.\n\nIt was a rare moment when Puri was suddenly, albeit briefly, the focus of a film produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.\n\nWhile promoting that film, Puri told me that Hindi cinema mostly concentrated on younger, good-looking actors. And the industry had relegated him to roles of the father of a lead actor or a police officer. He was rarely offered meaty roles, he complained.\n\nHe was always hungry for more challenging work and recognition.\n\nIn another interview while promoting East is East (1999), Puri told me that his big regret was that he would never get the kind of roles given to Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro.\n\nBut Om Puri was as great an actor as Hoffman and De Niro.\n\nIn fact, one can say he was even better, given the number of films he acted in and the range of his performances.\n\nPuri (left extreme)'s comic timing was perfect in Jaane Bhi Do Yaro\n\nPuri was one of the most versatile Indian actors\n\nHis comic timing was perfect and we can see that in the cult classic indie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) and later on in Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool - a modern-day take on Macbeth, where Puri played one of the witches, along with his colleague and friend Naseeruddin Shah.\n\nAlso in the same time period he played a sleazy photographer in Shyam Benegal's Mandi (1983).\n\nHe was the voice of an angry, frustrated cop in Ardh Satya (1983), but was equally charming and seductive with his co-star, the late Smita Patil. And in Aakrosh (1980) he was the oppressed peasant who barely uttered a word.\n\nPuri became one of the first Indian actors of his generation to crossover to the West with his work in British films - East is East, its less successful sequel West is West (2010), the rarely seen Brothers in Trouble (1995), the Hanif Kureishi scripted My Son the Fanatic (1997), and the mini-series White Teeth (2002), based on Zadie Smith's bestseller novel.\n\nThat was a time when nearly every Indian or Pakistani role in a British production was offered to Puri.\n\nHollywood came calling as well.\n\nMike Nichols also cast him in an important role in Wolf (1994) where Puri shared screen time with Jack Nicholson. And earlier Roland Joffé cast him in a supporting role in City of Joy (1992).\n\nOm Puri acted in the TV series Jewel in the Crown\n\nIn 1994, Ismail Merchant cast Puri as a hapless college professor who sets out to interview an ageing and overweight Urdu poet (Shashi Kapoor) in In Custody, based on Anita Desai's Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel.\n\nPuri was perfect in the film, displaying his frustration as he observed the decline of Urdu language and poetry.\n\nBut it is the sad reality of the film business, that talented men and women find it harder to get juicy roles as they get older. And Puri had to face that fact.\n\nOm Puri died too soon. But he has left a huge body of work reflecting his four decades as a film actor. He should get the most attention that a master actor of his stature deserves.", "One in five teens claims to have been cyberbullied but few admit to being the bully\n\nParents worry about their children being bullied online, but what if it is your child who is doing the bullying?\n\nThat was the question posed by a BBC reader, following a report on how children struggle to cope online.\n\nThere is plenty of information about how to deal with cyberbullies, but far less about what to do if you find out that your own child is the source.\n\nThe BBC took advice from experts and a mother who found out her daughter had been cyberbullying her school friends.\n\nNicola Jenkins found out that her 12-year-old daughter was posting unpleasant comments online from her teacher\n\nFew parents would want to admit that their child was a bully but Nicola Jenkins has gone on record with her story.

And they all did learn a lesson from it.\n\n\"I removed all the social media websites from her so she wasn't able to access them for a while and then monitored her input and what she's been saying to people.\n\n\"But it did make me feel angry and quite ashamed that my daughter could be saying things like that to her friends, but she has grown up a bit since then and she's learnt her lesson.\n\n\"You want to trust your children, but they can get themselves into situations that they can't get out of.\n\n\"And as they get older, they look at different things. I know my son looks at totally different things to what my daughter does, so it's just being aware of what they are accessing and make sure that they are happy for you to look at what they are looking at as well.\"\n\nThere is plenty of advice for parents on coping with cyberbullying but less on what to do if your child is the bully\n\nAccording to not-for-profit organisation Internet Matters, one in five 13-18 year olds claim to have experienced cyberbullying but there are few statistics on how many children are bullying.\n\nCarolyn Bunting, general manager of Internet Matters, offers the following advice:\n\n\"First, sit down with them and try to establish the facts around the incident with an open mind. As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.\n\n\"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.\n\n\"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.\n\n\"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.\n\n\"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers.\"\n\nTwitter's image has been tarnished by trolls\n\nMany critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.\n\nSinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:\n\n\"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock.\"\n\nShe offered the following advice:\n\n\"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.\n\n\"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created. If it continues, it may be worth seeking additional advice from a teacher or trusted confidant.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Six handwritten letters from Princess Diana have sold for £15,100 at auction.\n\nOne candid letter from Diana to ex-Buckingham Palace steward Cyril Dickman, revealed Prince Harry was \"constantly in trouble at school\".\n\nAnother note described how young Prince William \"swamped\" his baby brother with \"an endless supply of hugs and kisses\".\n\nThe letters form part of about 40 lots from Mr Dickman's former estate, which sold for £55,000 in total - exceeding the estimate price of £13,000.\n\nCheffins, a Cambridgeshire auction house, said the lots were \"a unique collection of royal memorabilia\".\n\nBidders from as far away as Australia, Japan and the US were trying to purchase the items.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US.\n\nIf you want to buy a gun in Japan you need patience and determination. You have to attend an all-day class, take a written exam and pass a shooting-range test with a mark of at least 95%.\n\nThere are also mental health and drugs tests. Your criminal record is checked and police look for links to extremist groups. Then they check your relatives too - and even your work colleagues. And as well as having the power to deny gun licences, police also have sweeping powers to search and seize weapons.\n\nThat's not all. Handguns are banned outright. Only shotguns and air rifles are allowed.\n\nThe law restricts the number of gun shops. In most of Japan's 40 or so prefectures there can be no more than three, and you can only buy fresh cartridges by returning the spent cartridges you bought on your last visit.\n\nA photo posed by models - even Japanese gangsters rarely use guns these days\n\nPolice must be notified where the gun and the ammunition are stored - and they must be stored separately under lock and key. Police will also inspect guns once a year. And after three years your licence runs out, at which point you have to attend the course and pass the tests again.\n\nThis helps explain why mass shootings in Japan are extremely rare. When mass killings occur, the killer most often wields a knife.\n\nIn a world where a lot is going wrong there is also a lot going right. So what if you could build a country with policies that actually worked, by homing in ideas around the world that have been truly successful?\n\nThe current gun control law was introduced in 1958, but the idea behind the policy dates back centuries.\n\n\"Ever since guns entered the country, Japan has always had strict gun laws,\" says Iain Overton, executive director of Action on Armed Violence and the author of Gun Baby Gun.\n\n\"They are the first nation to impose gun laws in the whole world and I think it laid down a bedrock saying that guns really don't play a part in civilian society.\"\n\nPeople were being rewarded for giving up firearms as far back as 1685, a policy Overton describes as \"perhaps the first ever gun buyback initiative\".\n\n\"The moment you have guns in society, you will have gun violence but I think it's about the quantity,\" says Overton. \"If you have very few guns in society, you will almost inevitably have low levels of violence.\"\n\nJapanese police officers rarely use guns and put much greater emphasis on martial arts - all are expected to become a black belt in judo. They spend more time practising kendo (fighting with bamboo swords) than learning how to use firearms.\n\n\"The response to violence is never violence, it's always to de-escalate it. Only six shots were fired by Japanese police nationwide [in 2015],\" says journalist Anthony Berteaux. \"What most Japanese police will do is get huge futons and essentially roll up a person who is being violent or drunk into a little burrito and carry them back to the station to calm them down.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Japanese police practise martial arts every week and avoid using weapons whenever they can\n\nOverton contrasts this with the American model, which he says has been \"to militarise the police\".\n\n\"If you have too many police pulling out guns at the first instance of crime, you lead to a miniature arms race between police and criminals,\" he says.\n\nTo underline the taboo attached to inappropriate use of weapons, an officer who used his gun to kill himself was charged posthumously with a criminal offence. He carried out the act while on duty - policemen never carry weapons off-duty, leaving them at the station when they finish their shift.\n\nThe care police take with firearms is mirrored in the self-defence forces.\n\nJournalist Jake Adelstein once attended a shooting practice, which ended with the gathering up of the bullet casings - and there was great concern when one turned out to be missing.\n\n\"One bullet shell was unaccounted for - one shell had fallen behind one of the targets - and nobody was allowed to leave the facilities until they found the shell,\" he says.\n\nThere is no clamour in Japan for gun regulations to be relaxed, says Berteaux. \"A lot of it stems from this post-war sentiment of pacifism that the war was horrible and we can never have that again,\" he explains.\n\nThere are a limited number of longstanding rifle owners in Japan - when they die their heirs must hand the rifles in\n\n\"People assume that peace is always going to exist and when you have a culture like that you don't really feel the need to arm yourself or have an object that disrupts that peace.\"\n\nIn fact, moves to expand the role of Japan's self-defence forces in foreign peacekeeping operations have caused concern in some quarters.\n\n\"It is unknown territory,\" says political science professor Koichi Nakano. \"Maybe the government will try to normalise occasional death in the self-defence force and perhaps even try to glorify the exercise of weapons?\"\n\nAccording to Iain Overton, the \"almost taboo level of rejection\" of guns in Japan means that the country is \"edging towards a perfect place\" - though he points out that Iceland also achieves a very low rate of gun crime, despite a much higher level of gun ownership.\n\nHenrietta Moore of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London applauds the Japanese for not viewing gun ownership as \"a civil liberty\", and rejecting the idea of firearms as \"something you use to defend your property against others\".\n\nBut for Japanese gangsters the tight gun control laws are a problem. Yakuza gun crime has sharply declined in the last 15 years, but those who continue to carry firearms have to find ingenious ways of smuggling them into the country.\n\n\"The criminals pack the guns inside of a tuna so it looks like a frozen tuna,\" says retired police officer Tahei Ogawa. \"But we have discovered cases where they have actually hidden a gun inside.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find the BBC World Service on Facebook and Twitter.", "Ed Sheeran describes \"driving at 90\" in his new song Castle on the Hill\n\nA new song by Ed Sheeran which features the lyrics \"driving at 90\" has prompted a safety warning by police.\n\nCastle on the Hill, released on Friday, has been described as a \"love song for Suffolk\".\n\nIn addition to describing the Framlingham area where he grew up, Sheeran sings \"driving at 90 down those country lanes\".\n\nSgt Chris Harris, from Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing, responded by tweeting \"please slow down\".\n\nThe new singles are the first to be released since he announced in December 2015 that he would be taking a break from music \"to travel the world\".\n\nThey are taken from his forthcoming album, which is called ÷ (Divide).\n\nPolice respond to Sheeran's new song by urging drivers to slow down\n\nOn the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Sheeran said he wrote Shape of You with the singer Rihanna in mind.\n\nWhile in his homage to growing up in Suffolk, Castle on the Hill, he says he \"can't wait to go home\".\n\nSgt Harris said: \"Know you want to go home but please slow down on Suffolk roads.\"\n\nAnd warned to \"drive to arrive\".\n\nSheeran is not the first singer to reference excessive speed in his lyrics.\n\nIn Crosstown Traffic, Jimi Hendrix sang \"ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive\".\n\nThe BBC has approached Sheeran's representatives for a comment.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "In 1986 Jill Saward, who has died aged 51, was raped after a gang of burglars broke into the Ealing vicarage where she lived.\n\nHer father, Michael - the vicar of St Mary's, Ealing - and her boyfriend were beaten with cricket bats by the men, who demanded money and jewellery.\n\nIt was a sexual attack that shocked the nation, became headline news and was subsequently labelled the \"Ealing vicarage rape\".\n\nThe media coverage of the case and the sentencing of the men who attacked Ms Saward - who later became Jill Drake - led to a public outcry about how rape victims were treated.\n\nRingleader Robert Horscroft, then 34, who did not take part in the rape, was sentenced to 14 years in jail for his part in the burglary.\n\nMartin McCall, then 22, was given five years for rape and a further five for burglary, while Christopher Byrne, who was also 22, was given three years for his part in the sexual assault and five for the burglary.\n\nDuring sentencing, Old Bailey Judge Sir John Leonard said the trauma suffered by Ms Saward was \"not so very great\".\n\nMs Saward's case affected the way rape victims were treated and is still being felt 30 years later.\n\nThe public backlash against the media coverage and subsequent sentencing helped bring about changes to the way sexual assault cases were viewed.\n\nIn particular, there was uproar at how one of the defendants had been given a longer sentence for the burglary than the attack.\n\nSeveral MPs, including Neil Kinnock, criticised the prison terms handed down - saying they were too lenient.\n\nThe then-Labour leader said during a Commons debate in 1987: \"While it is necessary for judges to remain detached in the name of the law, sometimes they show an insensitivity to the suffering of victims which is difficult to comprehend.\"\n\nAnd Margaret Thatcher, who was prime minister at the time, expressed her \"deep concern\" over the crime of rape following concerns about the case.\n\nMs Saward's case also sparked fierce criticisms about press coverage of rape cases after Ms Saward's ordeal became front page news.\n\nWhile newspapers did not name Ms Saward as the victim, several of them published details which led her to be easily identifiable.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Jill Saward, who was gang raped in 1986, says her attackers got the same sentence as for aggravated burglary\n\nThe Sun newspaper printed the location of the attack and a photograph of Ms Saward with her eyes blacked out in the days following the rape.\n\nWhen investigated, the publication relied on the defence that media identification of a victim was only banned after a defendant was charged, which was the case at the time.\n\nSpeaking in 1987 Ms Saward, who was an identical twin, demanded a change in the law to prevent this from happening.\n\nAccording to the Guardian, she said: \"Unless this is done, others may find themselves identifiable by a process of deduction from third parties known to be involved as victims of a crime as I was.\n\n\"This was very distressing both to myself and my family, and the manner in which some newspapers conveyed this information was highly insensitive and offensive.\"\n\nThe law was changed a year later to allow for the right to appeal against lenient sentences and to close a loophole which allowed media identification of a rape victim before a defendant was charged.\n\nThe Press Council also published guidelines on how rape cases were reported to prevent victims' anonymity being breached through jigsaw identification.\n\nThe notorious case put the laws on rape under the spotlight and led to calls by women's groups and politicians to call for changes to the way the crimes were viewed.\n\nThese included making rape within marriage a criminal offence, making oral and anal intercourse classified as rape and tougher sentencing for rapists - all of which have been achieved.\n\nIn 1990, Ms Saward broke new ground when she became the first rape victim in the UK to waive her right to anonymity.\n\nShe co-wrote a book, Rape: My Story, which explored her ordeal and she went on to become a fierce campaigner for the rights of sexual assault victims.\n\nHer decision to speak publicly was driven by a desire to change attitudes towards victims and strengthen the support they receive.\n\nMs Saward launched a help group for those who had experienced sex crimes and regularly appeared in the media to highlight issues faced by victims.\n\nHer commitment to the cause also saw her become a sexual assault case worker and she subsequently provided training to police forces across the country.\n\nOver the years, further changes have been made to the way sexual assault cases are handled - taking into account the way victims were treated.\n\nThese include a ban on allowing an alleged rapist to cross-examine victims while representing themselves in court and restrictions on what evidence can be heard about a victim's sexual behaviour.\n\nNew guidelines were published on the sentencing of sex offenders in England and Wales in 2013 which gave a greater emphasis on the impact on the victim - something Ms Saward had long campaigned for.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC, she said: \"So long we've felt left out of the system or surplus to requirement, so to actually see victims' needs and what's happened to victims being put at the forefront of this is really, really good.\"\n\nMs Saward never gave up on her fight for victims' rights, and in 2015 she spoke out against calls to give those accused of sex crimes anonymity.\n\nIn 1998, she came face-to-face with a member of the gang who devastated her life, but did not rape her, and told him: \"You don't need to say sorry.\"\n\nBut she also spoke about forgiveness and said in a BBC interview: \"I believe forgiveness gives you freedom.

Before he relocates to Washington's posh Kalorama neighbourhood, however, here's a take on what he tried to do - and how well he did it.\n\nAlthough there are letter grades attached to each section, these assessments are not a reflection of the wisdom of his actions, only in how well he was able to advance his agenda over the course of his presidency.\n\nWhile a liberal might give his environmental policy high marks, a conservative would likely flunk him. What can't be argued, however, is that he accomplished a considerable amount during his eight years.\n\nGoing unmeasured are a number of Mr Obama's intangible or indirect accomplishments.\n\nWhile the White House sported rainbow-colouring the night after gay marriage became legal nationwide, that was the result of a Supreme Court decision not presidential action. And while Mr Obama often spoke movingly about race relations in the US, particularly after the shooting at a black church in South Carolina, there was little in the way of policy elements accompanying his words.\n\nMr Obama does have an ample record to judge, however. Here's a look at eight key areas - along with consideration of their \"Trump-ability\" - how easy it will be for incoming president Donald Trump to undo what Mr Obama has accomplished.\n\nTell Anthony on Twitter @awzurcher how you would grade Barack Obama's presidency.\n\nComprehensive healthcare reform had been the Democratic Party's holy grail for decades, always seemingly just out of reach. Under Mr Obama, they finally claimed the prize.\n\nDue to an electoral setback in the Senate before the bill's final passage, however, the massive piece of legislation was a half-baked cake, making implementation a challenge. The federal healthcare insurance marketplace website, essentially unusable for months after launch, was a very visible, politically devastating mistake.\n\nTo the surprise of Democrats, many Republican-controlled states opted not to expand Medicaid healthcare coverage for the poor. More recently, insurance premiums for exchange-based policies will increase markedly in some US states - which will be a financial blow to less affluent Americans not covered by government subsidies.\n\nMuch of the law operated as intended, however. The percentage of Americans without insurance dropped from 15.7% in 2011 to to 9.1% in 2015. More than 8.8 million Americans have signed up for coverage through the federal exchange in the current enrolment period - a record high. Insurers can't deny individuals coverage for their pre-existing medical conditions, and there are no lifetime dollar caps on coverage.\n\nDespite its shortcomings, passage of the Affordable Care Act, in the words of Vice-President Joe Biden, was a big expletive-ing deal.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans have been trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act from the moment Mr Obama signed it into law. Mr Trump regularly condemned the programme as a failure. Now, Republicans are setting the wheels in motion to tear up the reforms \"root and branch\", in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's words.\n\nRepublicans will be able to shred the programme even with their slim majority in the Senate thanks to presidential authority and legislative manoeuvres.\n\nEnacting a replacement plan, however, will be more difficult. At the moment, they seem determined to jump off the repeal bridge without figuring out exactly where they will land, but Mr Trump has cautioned his congressional colleagues to be careful with how they go about the task.\n\nMr Obama's administration helped negotiate the Paris climate agreement, in which the US joined 185 countries in pledging to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It enacted a host of new regulations governing pollution from coal-fired power plants and limiting coal mining and oil and gas drilling both on federal lands and in coastal waters. Mr Obama also used his executive authority to designate 548 million acres of territory as protected habitat - more than any prior president.\n\nThe past eight years weren't without missed opportunities, however. Early in his administration, when Democrats had large majorities in Congress, the House of Representatives passed a stringent cap-and-trade programme for controlling carbon emissions. The Senate focused on financial and healthcare reform first, however, and the Democratic majority was gone before they could take action.\n\nThat may be as close as Democrats come to any sort of comprehensive environmental legislation for a great many years.\n\nTrump-ability: US participation in the Paris accord is still uncertain given that the president-elect promised to abandon it. While the withdrawal procedure is supposed to take four years, Mr Trump's team is reportedly searching for ways to speed up the process.\n\nOther Obama-era executive accomplishments, however, will be more difficult to roll back. Proposed regulatory changes will require an extended approval process and are sure to face a flurry of lawsuits from environmental groups. Congress could speed things up, but Democrats in the Senate have enough votes to block their efforts if they stick together.\n\nMr Obama made completion of two major trade agreements - the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - the cornerstone of his second term in office.\n\nThe TPP is destined for the dustbin without even consideration by the US Congress, thanks to a coalition of opposition from Democratic left and the economic nationalists who are sweeping to power with Mr Trump.\n\nThe TTIP, which is still in negotiation and attempts to reduce trade barriers between the US and the EU, is being abandoned by politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nThe Obama administration did successfully implement free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and South Korea, but they are dwarfed by the size and scope of the now-doomed regional deals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump can and will give a death blow to any hopes Mr Obama may have had of cementing a lasting trade legacy through the TPP and TTIP. More than that, the new president is poised to roll back the trade legacies of previous presidents, as he's pledged to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement - which was concluded under President Bill Clinton - or perhaps even withdraw from the deal entirely.\n\nHis promises to enact draconian import tariffs on some foreign goods would also run counter to US commitments to the World Trade Organization, which could undermine the entire foundation of the current global trade regime.\n\nWhen Mr Obama took office, the US economy was in freefall. Unemployment had spiked to double digits, housing prices had collapsed and the financial industry teetered on the brink of collapse.\n\nThe picture eight years later is one of stability and modest growth, although critics will argue that things could be better (and blue-collar Trump voters in the industrial states seemed to agree).\n\nPolicy-wise, Mr Obama pushed through a major stimulus package and financial reform legislation early in his first term. His administration oversaw a support structure that saved General Motors from a bankruptcy that would have devastated the US auto industry.\n\nThe Home Affordable Refinance Program, run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, allowed several million US homeowners to avoid foreclosure and refinance high-interest mortgages.\n\nThe president negotiated an agreement that rolled back many of the George W Bush era tax cuts in exchange for across-the-board spending freezes. He frequently called for a raise in the federal minimum wage, but he was unable to generate any support for such actions in the Republican-controlled Congress.\n\nAlthough the stock market is reaching new highs, 2015 household income is still below what it was in 2007. Considering where his presidency started, however, the current state of economic health is perhaps the president's most noteworthy legacy.\n\nTrump-ability: Republicans cutting taxes when they hold power is as certain as the sun rising in the east. Tax-reform, which will likely include a return to Bush-era rates along with even more substantive changes, appear all but certain for passage. Mr Obama's financial reform legislation also could be poised for weakening, as it was frequently the target of Mr Trump's anti-regulation ire.\n\nAlthough conservatives liked to criticise Mr Obama's efforts to bolster US companies as \"picking winners and losers\", early evidence (Carrier, Ford Motors, etc) indicates that's one tradition Mr Trump appears likely to continue, albeit with a sharper edge for businesses that don't comply to his wishes.\n\nMr Obama will leave the White House with two prominent feathers in his foreign policy cap - the Iran nuclear deal and normalised relations with Cuba. Say what you will about the merits of the accomplishments (and many have), they represent a notable thawing in relations between the US and two long-time antagonists.\n\nHe also oversaw the drawdown of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan - fulfilling a key campaign promise.\n\nElsewhere, however, the president's international policy has been characterised by strained relations and festering problems. His planned \"reset\" of US-Russian relations upon taking office was followed by the nation's Ukrainian intervention and allegations of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.\n\nThe Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010 spread unrest throughout the Middle East, culminating in a Syrian Civil War that facilitated the rise of the so-called Islamic State and a devastating refugee crisis that has roiled European politics.\n\nNorth Korea continues to develop its nuclear weapons programme seemingly undeterred, and Mr Obama's plans for an \"Asian pivot\" in US foreign policy have done little to keep Chinese regional ambitions in check.\n\nResponsibility for this global unrest can't all be laid at Mr Obama's feet, of course, but it's a mark on his permanent record nonetheless.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump has criticised the Iranian nuclear deal, although unlike some other Republicans he hasn't vowed to abandon it entirely. He may find renegotiating the multi-party agreement more difficult than he might think. As for Cuba, he has the executive authority to roll back all of Mr Obama's diplomatic overtures to the communist island, including relaxed sanctions and travel restrictions - although he's kept his options open so far.\n\nThe president-elect also seems more likely to favour closer relations to Israel and a renewed attempt at improving relations with Russia (a re-reset). In Syria, he has criticised Mr Obama's actions but hasn't advocated a coherent counter-policy, so there's no telling how - or if - he'll change course.\n\nOne thing is for certain, however. At least rhetorically the Trump administration will be a marked departure from Mr Obama's internationalist foreign policy, which leaned heavily on co-operation and co-ordination with allies.\n\nThe long-term trend of declining crime rates continued over the past eight years, although a number of large cities have seen a recent uptick in their murder rates. While public safety was a 2016 campaign issue, much of Mr Obama's efforts while president were directed at criminal justice reform.\n\nIn 2010 he signed a law that brought the mandatory minimum prison time for crack cocaine possession - which disproportionately involves black drug offenders - more in line with powder cocaine sentences.\n\nIn January 2016, Mr Obama took a series of executive actions to limit the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons and provide greater treatment for inmates with mental health issues. He has also used his presidential power to commute the sentences of more than 1,000 non-violent drug offenders and supported a Justice Department policy that resulted in the early release of about 6,000 individuals.\n\nAlthough Mr Obama has backed bipartisan sentencing reform legislation in Congress, the 2016 presidential election - and Mr Trump's tough-on-crime rhetoric - has been attributed with frustrating those efforts.\n\nGun control wasn't a top priority for Mr Obama when he took office, but in the early months of his second term - after the 2012 mass shooting of schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut - Mr Obama made a strong push for greater restrictions on some types of military-style semi-automatic rifles and more thorough background checks for firearm purchases.\n\nThose efforts ran head-on into the National Rifle Association's formidable lobbying power, however, and aside from a few executive actions, no new policies were enacted. In 2015, Mr Obama told the BBC that his failure in this area was his greatest frustration as president.\n\nTrump-ability: Given that Mr Trump regularly painted a bleak picture of crime levels in the US, lamented that law enforcement was too constrained by \"political correctness\" and opined that prison inmates were being treated too well, it's safe to say he will pursue a decidedly different course on public safety than Mr Obama.\n\nSentencing reform - in limbo for the past year - will be an exceedingly low priority for Republicans in Congress now, and Mr Obama's gun-control executive actions are likely to face the chopping block.\n\nThere was a point, shortly after Mr Obama's re-election in 2012, where comprehensive immigration reform seemed inevitable.\n\nThe president and his fellow Democrats were in favour, and rattled Republicans saw granting permanent residency to some undocumented workers and streamlining the US immigration system as a means to curry favour with the growing bloc of Hispanic voters.\n\nA grass-roots revolt within the Republican Party derailed those plans, prompting Mr Obama to take a series of executive actions providing normalised status to undocumented immigrants who entered the US as children and the immigrant families of US citizens and permanent residents. (The latter policy has since been suspended during a protracted legal battle over its constitutionality.)\n\nWhile these efforts attracted widespread praise from pro-immigration activists and Hispanic groups, the Obama administration's policy of increasing removal of other undocumented immigrants has prompted some to call him the \"deporter in chief\".\n\nFrom 2009 to 2015, the Obama administration deported more than 2.5 million people - most of whom had been convicted of some form of criminal offence or were recent arrivals.\n\nTrump-ability: Mr Trump may very well drop the US defence of the portion of Mr Obama's immigration action that's currently under legal challenge. He could also unilaterally resume deportation of others given normalised status by Mr Obama's executive efforts, although that will be more controversial.\n\nThe president-elect has pledged to deport more than three million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US - including visitors who have overstayed their visas - although given Mr Obama's track record it may be a difference of extent, not substance.\n\nAt one point, Mr Trump was pledging to remove everyone not lawfully in the US - more than 11 million by most estimates - which would be a marked departure not just from Mr Obama's policies but those of every modern US president.\n\nWhatever his other successes during his time in office, Mr Obama's presidency was a beating for the Democratic Party.\n\nIn 2009, when Mr Obama was swept to power, Democrats had large majorities in the US Congress and control of 29 of 50 governorships. Since then, he has seen his party's power steadily erode. The House of Representatives has been in Republican hands since 2010; the Senate since 2014. Democrats control the governor's mansion in only 16 states.\n\nThe situation is even more dire in state legislatures - the proving grounds for young politicians with national ambitions. Republicans hold sway in 32 legislatures, while Democrats have majorities in only 12 (the rest are divided).\n\nIf the party doesn't make inroads in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin by 2020, those legislatures will draw congressional district maps that make recapturing the House of Representatives a tall task for Democrats for another decade.\n\nMr Obama's political constituency - young voters and minorities - proved enough to win him the presidency twice, but it was a fragile coalition that could not be counted on in mid-term congressional and legislative elections or, for that matter, by Hillary Clinton last year.\n\nWhile Mr Obama can boast considerable accomplishments over his eight years in office, if his party can't regain its footing after a string of devastating electoral setbacks, he won't have any legacy worth writing about before too long.\n\nTrump-ability: Barring a major political realignment in the liberal fortress of California, things can't get much worse for Democrats at the state level. In Congress, however, Mr Trump has a decent shot at expanding the Republican Senate majority in 2018, given that Democrats have to defend 10 seats in states that Mr Trump won last year.\n\nThere's always the chance that Republicans could overreach in their efforts to enact their agenda. An economic decline or foreign policy fiasco could tank Mr Trump's approval rating and make winners of even unlikely Democrats.\n\nThe durability of Mr Trump's own political coalition of disaffected working-class whites, evangelicals and other traditional Republican voters is still an open question as well. While Republicans may feel the future belongs to them, when Mr Trump's time in the Oval Office comes to an end, there's no telling what kind of grades will his legacy receive.", "Pep Guardiola's first taste of the FA Cup ends triumphantly as Manchester City thrash Premier League rivals West Ham 5-0 in the FA Cup third round at London Stadium.", "The Supreme Court rules on whether Parliament or ministers have the power to begin the Brexit process.", "Benoit Hamon has been short on detail with his plan for basic income in France\n\nHe's been called the \"French Bernie Sanders\". After his decisive win in the first round of France's Socialist party primary, left-wing rebel, Benoit Hamon is suddenly the centre of attention.\n\nBut what do his rapid rise and eye-catching policies say about the future of the French left?\n\nWith his designer stubble and cheeky grin, the 49-year-old Socialist party rebel has been grabbing more than his share of the limelight over the past few weeks.\n\nThe most left-leaning of the seven initial candidates in the Socialist race, his programme has been built around the radical proposal of a universal monthly payment for all French citizens, regardless of income. He also wants to legalise cannabis, to tax the wealth created by robots and to ditch the labour law passed last year that made it easier to hire and fire.\n\nThe income plan he has outlined would be put into effect in three stages.\n\nCritics have pilloried the plan as unworkable, estimating its cost at between €300-€400bn.\n\nIt's true that Mr Hamon has been short on detail when it comes to how his vision for France would be funded. But that doesn't seem to have affected his popularity among left-wing voters.\n\nBy finishing several points ahead of former Prime Minister Manuel Valls during the first round of voting on Sunday, Mr Hamon has drawn attention to some important questions for France's ruling left-wing party: most obviously, the deep split between the Socialist party's left-wing supporters and the more liberal, centrist line taken by the current Socialist government.\n\nManuel Valls was the prime minister who pushed through some of that government's most unpopular labour reforms and security measures. That left a rift with the party that may force him out of the presidential race in the run-off on Sunday.\n\nBenoit Hamon is going into round two in a strong position, having secured the support of fellow left-winger Arnaud Montebourg, who came third in the first round.\n\nBenoit Hamon (L) resigned as a minister with Arnaud Montebourg in 2014 after they called for an end to austerity\n\nIf Mr Hamon wins, it will reorient the Socialist party away from the centre of French politics, and back to its traditional left-wing positions.\n\nThat may not help him much during the presidential race. Whoever wins the Socialist nomination is tipped to come fifth, according to the opinion polls.\n\nBut it could have two important consequences for France.\n\nA nomination for Mr Hamon is likely to funnel centrist votes towards liberal former banker Emmanuel Macron, whose growing popularity is starting to worry the far-right National Front (FN), which is now banking on a place in the second round of the presidential poll.\n\nFrancois Fillon, Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron are leading the field in the presidential race\n\nAnd, even as the populist campaigns gather speed in France, the appearance of Benoit Hamon at the head of the Socialist campaign could also signal a return to the politics of a previous era.\n\nFor years France's established parties have drifted to the centre ground and voter apathy has grown.\n\nBut now voters already have the prospect of an old-school Catholic conservative heading the main right-wing Republican party. And if Benoit Hamon wins the Socialist nomination on Sunday, the main left-wing party will once again embrace its traditional positions on workers' rights, redistribution, civil liberties and the environment.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nWilliams v Konta coverage: Wednesday, 02:00 GMT: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text commentary on the BBC Sport website. Wednesday, 16:45 GMT: TV highlights on BBC Two.\n\nSeventeen-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer says he did not expect to reach the Australian Open semi-finals after a six-month injury lay-off.\n\nThe four-time champion in Melbourne is making his competitive return after last playing at Wimbledon in July.\n\nFederer beat Mischa Zverev 6-1 7-5 6-2 to set up Thursday's last-four match against fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka.\n\n\"Feeling as good as I am, playing as good as I am, that's a huge surprise to me,\" said the 35-year-old.\n• None Confident Konta 'can improve in every aspect'\n\n\"If someone would have told me I'd play in the semis against Stan, never would I have called that one.\n\n\"For Stan, yes, but not for me. I honestly didn't even know a few days ago that he was in my section of the draw or I'm in his section.\"\n\nFederer, who has not won a Grand Slam title since triumphing at Wimbledon in 2012, had been sidelined by a knee injury throughout the second half of last year and has slipped from third in the world to 17th.\n\nHe played in the non-ranking Hopman Cup in Perth earlier in January, but has come through 18 sets in Melbourne.\n\n\"I think winning back-to-back matches in best-of-five sets against quality, great players has surprised me most,\" he said.\n\n\"Really that's been for me the big question mark, if I could do that so early in my comeback.\n\n\"I felt I was always going to be dangerous on any given day in a match situation. But obviously as the tournament would progress, maybe I would fade away with energy, you know, that kind of stuff.\"\n\n'Roger's the best of all time'\n\nFederer holds an 18-3 winning record against Wawrinka, but the 31-year-old will go into the semi-final as the world number four and looking for a second consecutive Grand Slam title after last year's US Open success.\n\nFederer has won their past two meetings, at the ATP World Tour Finals and in the US Open in 2015, but Wawrinka holds a Grand Slam win against his Davis Cup team-mate, coming in the quarter-finals of the French Open in the same year.\n\n\"Against Roger, it's always special because he's so good. He's the best player of all time,\" said the three-time Grand Slam winner.\n\n\"He has an answer for everything. But I managed to beat him in a Grand Slam, so we'll see.\n\n\"It's great to see him back at that level. Hopefully I can manage to play a great match.\"\n\nStan, you don't call any more\n\nAll of Wawrinka's three Grand Slam titles have come since Federer won his last five years ago.\n\nAnd Wawrinka's rise to becoming a consistent top-10 player did not come until he was aged 28, and after plenty of help from his fellow Swiss.\n\n\"I remember giving Stan a lot of advice on how he should play certain guys,\" said Federer.\n\n\"Then the day came where he didn't call me so much any more. He called me less and less.\n\n\"I also felt like I didn't tell him any more, because he created his knowledge, his base, had his team. Only from time to time would I give him advice if he asked me.\n\n\"Otherwise I was happy that he was able to let go and go on his own path.\"\n\nIt's a great match because Wawrinka wants to stay back and bludgeon the ball with huge swings and power.\n\nFederer's job, in the lively conditions, is to take time away from Wawrinka and not allow him to get into that rhythm. Federer has to come forward and test Wawrinka's passing shots a lot.\n\nThat's important because I don't think Stan's the best passer in the world. Roger will be able to come in a lot because Wawrinka does chip and block a lot of first-serve returns.\n\nThe way Federer is playing, even though he has missed six months of tennis, I think he's maybe the slight favourite from what I've seen.", "Vince Cable says the low status of vocational qualifications has deep roots\n\n\"Britain has done appallingly badly at vocational education for many years,\" says Sir Vince Cable, former business secretary, as Theresa May's industrial strategy promises to regenerate technical training and tackle the skills shortage.\n\nBut why has this always been such a struggle? You could build a paper mountain out of all the plans to give vocational education the same status as university degrees, A-levels and GCSEs.\n\n\"It's a deeply cultural thing,\" says Sir Vince, who held office during the Coalition government.\n\n\"It got built into the British mindset... if you're clever, you go to university, and if you're not so clever you go off and do a trade of some sort,\" he says.\n\n\"It's still the case that if you're academically inclined and you don't know what to do, you go to university.\n\n\"The others are told, 'Why not do an apprenticeship?' without being given much of a steer as to how to do it.\n\n\"And that's completely wrong, for many people it would be better if they went down that route from day one.\"\n\nSir Vince, who once taught Open University economics courses, is now getting back to his own educational roots.\n\nHe is leading an online course on economics and politics, with the University of Nottingham, which will be available free on the Futurelearn online university network set up by the Open University.\n\nVince Cable says the Chinese are now the free trade defenders, while the US puts up walls\n\nThere will be no shortage of contemporary upheavals for these online students to talk about.\n\nSir Vince talks of a \"bizarre Alice in Wonderland world\" in which the Chinese Communists are now the advocates of free trade while the United States, under President Donald Trump, is raising the banner of protectionism.\n\n\"You've got a hard-line Communist out there defending the liberal international economic order,\" he says.\n\nHe describes himself as a \"big fan of the Chinese\", adding: \"like George Osborne\".\n\nSir Vince had a close-up view of economic decision-making by politicians.\n\nHe ranks Gordon Brown above David Cameron or Tony Blair on their grasp of economics - and says that all politicians can be guilty of looking for economic theories that confirm their political inclinations.\n\nGeorge Osborne's approach to cutting the deficit, in the wake of the financial crash of 2008, was shaped by the rules set by US economist Kenneth Rogoff, says Sir Vince.\n\nAnd he says that the current rise of nationalism, populism and the push for protectionism are the direct fallout from the economic hangover from the recession.\n\n\"The real energy behind this new populism does come from 2008,\" he says.\n\n\"Real wages have declined, particularly in deprived parts of the country, public spending has been cut because of the deficit.\"\n\nHe says this has delivered a shock to a political system built on a post-War assumption of rising living standards.\n\nSir Vince's new teaching project forms part of the wave of so-called Moocs - massive open online courses.\n\nMoocs are also characterised by being free - and his period in office as business secretary saw him taking the controversial decision to raise university tuition fees in England to £9,000 per year.\n\nTuition fees have hung like a dark cloud over the Liberal Democrats ever since - but he remains a stout defender of the fee increase.\n\nVince Cable, who put up tuition fees, says the alternative was to cut further education\n\n\"It was the right thing to do, but very, very politically painful,\" he says.\n\nThe alternative was to cut the further education budget. \"I wasn't willing to go along with that.\"\n\nThe fees are in effect a graduate tax, rather than a fee, he says, and the Liberal Democrats' big mistake was signing a pledge not to increase fees.\n\nHe says he was \"vehemently opposed\" to this promise before the 2010 election.\n\n\"I could see that if ever we got into government, it would be a disaster.\n\n\"But there was a very strong head of steam and the leader felt he had to go along with it, and once we were in government we were inevitably exposed.\"\n\nThe Politics of Economics and The Economics of Politicians will be available on Futurelearn from 20 March.\n• None New York to scrap tuition fees for middle class", "Taj Mahal Self-Portrait, a 1966 photograph by George Harrison that features in the exhibition\n\nI have never taken a selfie. I'm far too ugly.\n\nThat said, I have ruined other people's, on those occasions when asked by a friend or arts fan to join them in a smartphone photo.\n\nI'm happy to say yes - it's not as if I'm ever going to have to look back at the image.\n\nI'd be horrified if I did, and mortified if it appeared in some public context like an art exhibition. I don't like causing offence.\n\nFortunately for us, such an occurrence is highly unlikely but it is possible, and increasingly so.\n\nSelfie-themed exhibitions are to museums and galleries what dancefloors are to dads: a tempting opportunity to show how young and trendy they are while in reality communicating the exact opposite.\n\nThey all seem to be at it, from the venerable Mauritshuis in The Hague to the yoof-loving Tate Modern. The Saatchi Gallery is the latest to jump aboard the selfie bandwagon with a show it says \"will be the world's first exhibition exploring the history of the selfie from old masters to the present day, and will celebrate the truly creative potential of a form of expression often derided for its inanity\".\n\nI'm not sure if the \"world's first\" claim is valid, but I'm absolutely certain that the long history of the self-portrait has not been \"derided for its inanity\".\n\nSome of the greatest works of art ever produced are self-portraits. We know that. It has long been a respected genre used by artists to demonstrate their virtuosity, while having the added advantage of the sitter/model being free.\n\nAnyway, to compare a painstakingly painted Rembrandt self-portrait with an opportunist snap taken by Helle Thorning-Schmidt flanked by David Cameron and Barak Obama at Nelson Mandela's funeral is silly.\n\nIt's like equating the diary entry of a lovelorn teenager with a novel by Alice Munro - they don't stand comparison. Both have their place, both can be art, but they are quite different.\n\nWhen I first heard about the show, it sounded like the sort of idea the gallery's communications department might come up with to attract \"new audiences\". And then I read the press release and discovered it WAS the communications department that came up with the concept.\n\nIt had help from a PR company called H+K Strategies, part of the globe-spanning WPP Group, which counts Huawei, a Chinese smartphone brand, among its clients. This is not an unconnected fact. Huawei are the sponsors of the Saatchi Gallery show.\n\nIn fact, according to the press release, they are its co-authors: \"Saatchi Gallery and Huawei, the world's number three smartphone brand, announce they have teamed up to present From Selfie to Self-Expression.\"\n\nOne of the team from H+K Strategies to whom I spoke talked of brainstorming sessions between the parties.\n\nShe made no mention of breakout groups and brightly coloured pens - but I'd hazard a guess they were present. Selfie to Self-Expression feels like a show that started life writ large in pink letters (with yellow asterisk to the side) on front of a flip-chart.\n\nHuawei's involvement explains the comment in the press release about the self-portrait genre being \"derided for its inanity\". I don't think it meant self-portraiture, but selfie-portraiture.\n\nThis is a show designed to elevate the status of the selfie from what they say can be viewed as an inane activity to an artform. Hence the stated aim to \"celebrate the creative potential of a form of expression…\".\n\nAdd to this its commitment to \"highlight the emerging role of the smartphone as an artistic medium for self-expression\", and I think we know the corporate tail is wagging the art gallery dog.\n\nI'm not saying this to criticise - needs must and all that. It might be a great show, and even if it isn't there is something marvellously Warholian about an art gallery founded by an ad man conceiving an exhibition with the world's largest ad agency network. As Warhol once said: \"Good business is the best art.\"\n\nNo, the reason I mention the corporate sponsor is because I think its collaboration with the Saatchi Gallery is potentially more interesting than the show itself. The whole project would appear to be rooted in the notion of a new \"purposeful age\" in public relations as spelt out by H+K Strategies.\n\nThey say: \"In the Purposeful Age companies and institutions have the opportunity to join a meaningful conversation around things that matter, take their place in culture and demonstrate their responsibility to society.\n\n\"At H+K our purpose in this new age is to inspire creative and curious conversations that help brands and the public communicate to build better outcomes for everyone.\"\n\nOkay, it's a tad hyperbolic, but you've got to hand it to them - the Saatchi show is a good example of them practising what they preach.\n\nIt also helps makes sense of the whole enterprise, unifying the subject matter and the sponsor, which can be captured by simply adding three words to the current exhibition title: Selfie to Self-Expression - to Self-Promotion.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

He is the real deal.\"\n\nThey were marvelling at his performance against a three-weight world champion, who is a big star Stateside.\n\nThe USA had fallen in love with Carl Frampton. It is easy to see why.\n\nIn politics and public office, analysts refer to the \"likeability factor\". Some have it, some don't. Frampton simply oozes it.\n\nIt hasn't been sculpted, or manufactured. He is one of the most genuine, decent, honest and grounded sportsmen I have ever met.\n\nHe is a proud Belfast boy who has fanatical supporters willing to travel anywhere to watch him fight.\n\nThe day after his victory over Santa Cruz, he booked out a Manhattan bar and invited all his fans, by way of saying thank you.\n\nIt was an incredibly classy move from the 29-year-old, as he was intending to hold the event regardless of how he fared the previous night.\n\nHe didn't have to do it, but wanted to give fans an opportunity to chat with him, get something signed, or take a selfie.\n\nIt wasn't a PR stunt, it was Carl being Carl, pint in hand, having the craic and taking time to chat to each and every person.\n\nThe supporters appreciated it - a free drink is always nice - but after many of them had shelled out a lot of money to head to the Big Apple, getting an opportunity to chat with the main man was the icing on the cake following an unforgettable weekend.\n\nFast forward a few months, and Santa Cruz wants revenge. He says that he may even consider quitting boxing should he lose the rematch on Saturday at the MGM Grand.\n\nMake no mistake, this is a career-defining fight for the Californian-based Mexican. But the same can be said about Frampton.\n\nHe is entering the last three or four years of his career and wants to make the most of them.\n\nFrampton doesn't want to ride off into the sunset. He wants to go out swinging.\n\nHis legacy, that's what it is all about now. He wants every fight to be a big fight. No messing about.\n\nHe isn't a man to look too far ahead, but he feels like a new man at featherweight - stronger, more powerful, capable of anything - something that his sparring partners would back up.\n\nHe has history in his sights. Becoming Ireland's first three-weight world champion is achievable.\n\nBeating Santa Cruz could set up a summer showdown at Windsor Park against Welshman Lee Selby and the chance to unify two divisions in under two years.\n\nFrampton joins champions who have fought in Vegas\n\nSanta Cruz will want to quash that dream, or at least stall it.\n\nThe two fighters are family men, fathers and husbands first, boxers second. Their perspective on life is refreshing in high-end sport, as is their respect for each others' abilities.\n\nThere is no need to trash talk, or disrespect one another; this fight sells itself.\n\nThe MGM in Vegas has hosted some of the biggest bouts in the sports history, and this has all the makings of a classic. All great sportsmen need a rival and, as Frampton says, maybe Santa Cruz will be his \"dance partner\".\n\nPeople of a certain generation know where they were when McGuigan defeated Eusebio Pedroza in 1985.

That run encompassed nine successive wins, including a 2-0 triumph in the first leg at Old Trafford, their longest-winning sequence since Ferguson called time on his illustrious career.\n\nFerguson said: \"I was a little bit different from Jose in the respect that I wanted to build the football club and wanted young players to be part of that.\n\n\"Nonetheless, the first team weren't doing great and you have to find solutions to correct that. I think Jose is finding solutions now. There was a period earlier in the season when he wasn't getting the decisions and his emotions boiled over. You see him now - he is calm and in control.\n\n\"That is the obvious observation I am making of the team now. The team is mirroring its manager.\n\n\"On Saturday at Stoke, they played to the last kick of the ball. They never gave in and got their rewards to take something from the game with that great Rooney goal.\n\n\"And did you see what he did? Ran to the halfway line. No celebration. Pointed to the ball as if to say 'get it, we are going to win this'. That is exactly the spirit Jose has created.\"\n\nSir Bobby Charlton's club record of 249 Manchester United goals had stood for 44 years until Rooney went past it at the Britannia Stadium.\n\nCharlton amassed his tally in 758 appearances for the club. Rooney, 31, has gone one better in 546 games since moving from Everton for £27m as an 18-year-old in 2004.\n\nWith the chance to score even more this season and a contract that runs to 2018 if the Liverpool-born player remains at Old Trafford until its conclusion, Rooney has set a record that is unlikely ever to be beaten, according to Ferguson.\n\n\"In the present-day game, it is difficult to see any club having players who can stay with them for 10 years.\n\n\"Jose has mentioned Marcus Rashford and there is an opportunity for that young lad, if he stays at United, and develops his potential the way that Wayne has. But it is a very big target to hit.\n\n\"Bobby Charlton's record was quite substantial. I couldn't think anybody would beat that. It is an achievement par excellence.\"\n\nIt is nearly four years now since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down as manager of Manchester United, yet the ease with which he skipped from room to room to conduct interviews at a Cheshire hotel on Tuesday suggests that, at 75, he remains as enthusiastic for life as ever.\n\nThere is no longer the same hint of menace about him if the questions are not to his satisfaction, although I suspect if I had strayed off topic, I might have got a mild blast of the famous hair dryer.\n\nBut Ferguson remains engaging company. Far different to the combustible figure who dominated the touchline and harangued anyone who got in his - and United's - way.\n\nThese days a funny story usually close at hand. Today, it concerned the mother of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, who, Ferguson recalled, pleaded with him over the phone not to take away \"my boy\" as negotiations over Rooney's £27m move from Everton drew to a close in 2004.", "The full list of winners at the 89th Academy Awards.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Here, photographer Ed Gold takes a snapshot of her life in Britain.\n\n\"I came to the UK for the first time in 2010. I had studied English philology at university in the Polish town of Krosno. Philology is the study of language in historical literature and I learnt a lot about Great Britain. I wanted a new challenge in my life and decided to try my luck abroad.\n\n\"My friend and I rented a room for two weeks in Stratford in London. We were supposed to earn money but we lost it instead by paying for too many travel tickets.\n\n\"I moved back to Poland for another year but I'm tough. My surname Bak means bumblebee in Polish. We are fighters because we've been through hard times.\n\n\"I was lucky when I returned to England as I got a job at the Italian restaurant Carluccio's. I had a friend working there as a waiter. I learnt a lot about customer service. People are more polite in the UK than in Poland.\n\n\"I left that job as it was only part-time and I couldn't afford my Oyster card and rent. I was in debt. I then found a Polish woman on the internet who was finding jobs for people in nursing homes, but she ripped me off and took £70 from me for certificates I never needed.\n\n\"Still we have a saying in Poland, 'If you have enough oil in your head' - it means if you have enough intelligence, you will make it work.\n\n\"I found myself a job at a nursing home. I did that for two years in north London. I remember a patient asking me 'Where they could spend a penny?' and I asked them what did they want to buy?\n\n\"I wanted a more challenging job so I moved to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, working as an admin assistant in the radiology department. Now I'm working in the A&E at Colchester General Hospital. I'm really happy to work in health as I make a difference. I go the extra mile.\n\n\"The Polish NHS is not too bad but I think the quality of care provided in the English hospitals is much higher. The staff are always friendly and helpful and patients get treated with respect and dignity. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Polish hospitals. I've been a patient in Poland and found communication between staff and patient to be very poor.\n\n\"Renting is much cheaper outside London and my quality of life is higher in Colchester. I am careful with my money and saving up so that I can buy a house one day.\n\n\"Everything costs less in the UK, even the food. I really like The Body Shop - it is mission impossible to get those cosmetics in Poland. Plus in Poland you earn a third of what you can here.\n\n\"I also love the full English breakfast - it's the best breakfast ever. Usually for Polish breakfast you'd have cottage cheese, fresh bread and butter but you wouldn't get that protein boost in the morning - a full English keeps you going for hours. I do miss the Polish food though and the snow we get in winter.\n\n\"It's hard though being miles away from my mum. I send her parcels full of goodies like food and cosmetics twice a year. Recently I've been sending hats to her because she is ill. I know how to deal with stress at work but I cry at home when I hear bad news about mum.\n\n\"I live with my flat mate Zelda, who is from Latvia. I have friends from all over the world - it's one thing I really like about living in the UK. I met Zelda at work. We like to watch movies and eat Chinese takeaways. We don't have much time to go out but we're planning to. We'd normally go out to a local pub and then find somewhere to dance. I like my flat and feel very comfortable here.\n\n\"I haven't seen things change because of Brexit and I've never suffered racism.\n\n\"No-one has the right to say to me 'You're out of the UK', because I pay my taxes, I'm not here just to make money. It really bugs me if people come here from abroad who claim benefits after three months and have access to the free health service. I think to be here from abroad you should pay taxes.\n\n\"I get on better with English people now than Polish people and I think in English. Although I was born in Poland and have a Polish passport, I've found it easier to live here than other Poles as I've adapted to British society so well.\n\n\"I will apply for citizenship in Britain but only when I get enough money. It's expensive and costs about £2,000.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Disability Sport\n\nRussian athletes may still be banned at next year's Winter Paralympics, says the president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).\n\nSir Philip Craven also said the achievements of athletes at the Sochi Games in 2014 have been \"tarnished\" by the Russian doping scandal.\n\nAsked if Russia will have a team in Pyeongchang, Craven said: \"I don't know and I don't think many people do.\n\n\"I'm not looking for someone to say sorry, but let's get it fixed.\"\n\nRussian athletes were banned from all Paralympic competition - starting with the Rio Games - following the publication of the initial McLaren report in July.\n\nThe second report found more than 1,000 Russians may have benefited from a state-sponsored doping programme over a four-year period, including London 2012 and Sochi 2014.\n\nCraven, speaking before this week's IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships, which will not feature a Russian team, insisted the ban was the \"right thing to do\".\n\nHowever, he said he wants Russia to return in time for athletes to be eligible for the final qualification phase for next year's Paralympics in South Korea.\n\n\"Russia is a great sporting nation and without them being here they are missed in a sporting sense,\" he told BBC Sport.\n\n\"But we can't have nations competing when their performances have been tarnished by what's gone on before.\"\n\nIn December, the IPC set up an independent taskforce which has set the Russian Paralympic authorities a number of conditions which must be met before their athletes can return to competitive disability sport events run by IPC.\n\nOf the six Winter Paralympic sports, only wheelchair curlers are able to compete internationally in Paralympic qualification events as their sport is run by the World Curling Federation.\n\nThe other five - alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, snowboard and ice sledge hockey - are all governed by IPC.", "Freezing fog has covered most of southern England, cancelling flights at London airports and raising pollution levels.", "It took Andy Kuper a year and a half before he secured any investment for his company\n\nIf you are going to get someone famous to launch your global business officially, it is hard to do better than President Bill Clinton.\n\nYet as Andy Kuper will attest, it can be a nerve-racking experience.\n\nBack in September 2008, President Clinton was so impressed with Andy's new company, Leapfrog Investments, that he decided he would unveil it during his keynote speech at the annual meeting of his Clinton Global Initiative foundation.\n\nIt meant that President Clinton would invite the then 33-year-old Andy on to the stage to speak to the few hundred attendees at the event in New York.\n\nAndy says: \"I had done a lot of public speaking before, but this was a rock 'n' roll thing. I was worried about stumbling on the stairs and falling on the president.\"\n\nThankfully for Andy, he managed to stay on his feet and give a speech that wasn't too overshadowed by President Clinton's well-known oratorical talents.\n\nAndy says: \"President Clinton was amazing, he is an incredible public speaker, I owe him a great deal.\"\n\nBut why was President Clinton so impressed with a South African businessman he had only recently met?\n\nAndy had ambitious plans to help transform the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the developing world, to help pull them out of poverty.\n\nInstead of giving them aid, his plan was to invest in, help run and expand indigenous companies, mostly insurance and healthcare funds, so that populations would not be blighted by ill-health.\n\nAnd instead of being a charity or non-profit organisation, Leapfrog planned to be very much profit-making and offer its investors a decent rate of return. The idea was to make globalisation and capitalism work for the world's poorest people.\n\nAfter a very slow start, the business today has more than $1bn (£800m) of funds on its books. It currently invests in 16 companies across 22 countries in Africa and Asia that have a combined 100,000 employees and serve 91 million people.\n\nThe son of anti-apartheid campaigners and brought up on a farm outside of Johannesburg, Andy doesn't seem qualified to run a global investment firm on first glance at his CV.\n\nHe has no business qualifications and instead studied philosophy at university, before going on to lecture in the subject.\n\nLeapfrog typically invests in insurance and healthcare firms across Africa and Asia\n\nYet he started investing in the stock market aged 10, using money he made from selling the family's crops on the side of the road. By aged 13, he was making money for clients.\n\nAfter attending the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, Andy went to Cambridge University. It was while at Cambridge that Andy spent a summer working for a non-government organisation in India, which he said was \"one of his most formative experiences\" and is the genesis of his future idea for Leapfrog.\n\n\"We were trying to get Indian farmers to adopt drip irrigation, which could triple their production and lift them out of poverty,\" says Andy, now 41.\n\n\"But they just wouldn't do it. At the time, I thought they were being so irrational, but they weren't - they weren't prepared to take the risk of doing something new and seeing their crops fail as a result. Why? Because this would have meant that their children starved.\n\n\"So I thought, why don't we give these people a safety net to enable them to take a chance on bettering themselves, such as insurance cover.\"\n\nAfter spending his 20s lecturing and heading up an organisation that supports social entrepreneurs, Andy started work on Leapfrog. Initially, he got nowhere fast, because, he says, the idea was so new.\n\nMost Leapfrog firms, such as insurer Bima, utilise mobile technology\n\nHe says: \"It seemed close to impossible to begin with, but I just believed so fundamentally in the idea, which I call profit with purpose, of investing in companies that serve the other half of humanity - the four billion people that conventionally have not been served.\"\n\nWith no money coming in, Andy had to live off his and his wife's savings until Leapfrog got its first small investment after a year and a half.\n\nThe Clinton connection then followed, thanks to Andy knowing someone who worked for the organisation.\n\nHowever, the president's September 2008 speech failed to immediately open the investment floodgates, because it was quickly overshadowed by global events.\n\nA week later, investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed and the world was plunged into the global financial crisis.\n\nYet despite this backdrop, Leapfrog was able to secure $135m of investment by late 2009. Today its institutional investors include Goldman Sachs, Axa, JP Morgan, AIG, Swiss Re and the European Investment Bank.\n\nCompanies that Leapfrog invests in and helps run include All Life, a South African insurance firm that gives low cost cover to people with HIV, Kenyan pharmacy chain Goodlife, and India's Mahindra Insurance Brokers. Andy says that Leapfrog helps the firms see revenues grow by an average 43% per year.\n\nRobert van Zwieten, president of Emerging Market Private Equity Association, the trade group for firms that invest in the developing world, says that Andy and Leapfrog have been \"trailblazers\" in helping to create a new industry known as \"impact investing\". These are firms that invest both to make money and to achieve a positive social impact.\n\nHe adds: \"The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) event at Davos has for several years been struggling to work out how to make globalisation and capitalism work for the many and not just the few, but Andy and his team at Leapfrog are already doing just that.\"\n\nNow based in Sydney, Australia, after previously being in New York, Andy says: \"You can do more good if you are profitable, and make more profit because you are good [doing virtuous things].\"\n\nFollow The Boss series editor Will Smale on Twitter @WillSmale1\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The rhythm of the tree planting and its relationship to the columns of the buildings they stand near are \"not accidental\", says Mr Shostak\n\nMost towns grow and evolve over hundreds if not thousands of years. Not so Milton Keynes, which is 50 years old. Perhaps the best known of the 20th Century \"new towns\", it has its detractors but is also much loved by its residents.\n\nThe town was born with an Act of Parliament in 1967 which approved the building of a new community of 250,000 people covering 8,850 hectares (21,869 acres) of Buckinghamshire farmland and villages.\n\nBuilt to ease the housing shortages in overcrowded London, its founding principles were for an \"attractive\" town that enshrined \"opportunity and freedom of choice\".\n\nApp users should tap here to fully explore the interactive images, showing archive and current photographs\n\nThe media has not always been kind to Milton Keynes: it has mocked its concrete cows (now housed in a museum), accused it of blandness and told of the \"new city blues\" suffered by early residents.\n\nThose who have grown up there tell of a very different Milton Keynes.\n\nSimon Clawson arrived in MK aged four. He now lives there with his two children and wife Hannah.\n\n\"It was fantastic,\" he says of his childhood. \"I remember summer days were always outside.\n\n\"Somebody once told me that with all the lakes we have here, we have more waterline than Brighton.\"\n\nHis youth in the town was marked by a series of exciting arrivals - the first cinema called The Point, the football stadium and the Snowdome building.\n\n\"We had to wait for a lot of things here but when they came they tend to be more modern and spectacular than anywhere else.\n\n\"We are adaptable here because everything is always changing.\"\n\nFormer Team GB Olympic badminton player Gail Emms has also made Milton Keynes her home, having first moved there to train.\n\n\"Milton Keynes is one of the best places for families - I am spoilt for choice here,\" she says.\n\n\"So many of my friends take the Mickey about where I live.\n\n\"But then I tell them we have a great school a short walk away and about the facilities we have.\n\n\"It is so family-centred now. My kids are going to grow up in Milton Keynes, so it is now about what they need and want.\"\n\nNot everybody feels that way.\n\nTheo Chalmers, of the campaign group Urban Eden, claims recent development in the town has \"betrayed\" its founding principles.\n\n\"The principles of the original master plan were brilliant,\" he says.\n\n\"But those who have been in charge have bit by bit, like a death by a thousand cuts, destroyed the very things that made Milton Keynes extremely special and a user-friendly community.\"\n\nHe cites the narrowing of boulevards around The Hub leisure quarter and the filling in of underpasses as examples.\n\nThe Snowdome building created a great deal of excitement in Milton Keynes when it was built\n\nSome claim the closing of some of the town's network of underpasses goes against its founding principles\n\nSo how will Milton Keynes look in 100 years' time?\n\nIt will be bigger, with greater architectural diversity and more homes, says Lee Shostak, one of the town's early planners.\n\nHe arrived in 1971 as a PhD student from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) intent on studying the new development.\n\n\"Very little had actually been built,\" he says, \"and trying to understand what was going on from outside the (Milton Keynes) Development Corporation was going to be impossible.\"\n\nSo, in 1972, the American research student joined the development corporation as a planner.\n\n\"People came to Milton Keynes to be part of something new where everyone could shape their place called home,\" says the council leader Peter Marland\n\nThe colourful weather boarded homes of Far Holme in Milton Keynes Village are one of the town's newer developments\n\nMr Shostak, who made Milton Keynes his home from 1972 until 1995, said the town had been an \"outstanding success\".\n\nAs the years pass the \"city's parks and trees will be even bigger and more luxurious\".\n\n\"The achievements of making the landscape in Milton Keynes rivals that of Capability Brown,\" he added.\n\n\"In garden city terms Milton Keynes is a grown up.

and the government is preparing for defeat.\n\nAccording to the Guardian, government lawyers have warned Theresa May that drawing up a very short piece of legislation in response to the ruling may not be adequate.\n\nIt says the legal advice is that failure to provide enough detail could open the government to further legal appeals in the future.\n\nThe Express says the Supreme Court is expected to agree with the High Court judgement that a vote in Parliament on triggering Article 50 will be necessary.\n\nIf that is so -

What exactly is an executive order, and how significant are they to a president's legacy?\n\nOne of the first ways a new president is able to exercise political power is through unilateral executive orders.\n\nWhile legislative efforts take time, a swipe of the pen from the White House can often enact broad changes in government policy and practice.\n\nPresident Donald Trump has wasted little time in taking advantage of this privilege.\n\nGiven his predecessor's reliance on executive orders to circumvent Congress in the later days of his presidency, he has a broad range of areas in which to flex his muscle.\n\nHere's a look at some of what Mr Trump has done so far:\n\nMr Trump signed the order at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) undoing a key part of the Obama administration's efforts to tackle global warming.\n\nThe order reverses the Clean Power Plan, which had required states to regulate power plants, but had been on hold while being challenged in court.\n\nBefore signing the order, a White House official told the press that Mr Trump does believe in human-caused climate change, but that the order was necessary to ensure American energy independence and jobs.\n\nEnvironmental groups warn that undoing those regulations will have serious consequences at home and abroad.\n\n\"I think it is a climate destruction plan in place of a climate action plan,\" the Natural Resources Defense Council's David Doniger told the BBC, adding that they will fight the president in court.\n\nImmediate impact: A coalition of 17 states filed a legal challenge against the Trump administration's decision to roll back climate change regulations. The challenge, led by New York state, argued that the administration has a legal obligation to regulate emissions of the gases believed to cause global climate change. Mars Inc, Staples and The Gap are among US corporations who are also challenging Mr Trump's reversal on climate change policy.\n\nAfter an angry weekend in Florida in which he accused former-president Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower, Mr Trump returned to the White House to sign a revised version of his controversial travel ban.\n\nThe executive order titled \"protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States\" was signed out of the view of the White House press corps on 6 March.\n\nThe order's new language is intended to skirt the legal pitfalls that caused his first travel ban to be halted by the court system.\n\nImmediate impact: Soon after the order was signed, it was once again blocked by a federal judge, this time in Hawaii.\n\nSurrounded by farmers and Republican lawmakers, Mr Trump signed an order on 28 February directing the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers to reconsider a rule issued by President Obama.\n\nThe 2015 regulation - known as the Waters of the United States rule - gave authority to the federal government over small waterways, including wetlands, headwaters and small ponds.\n\nThe rule required Clean Water Act permits for any developer that wished to alter or damage these relatively small water resources, which the president described as \"puddles\" in his signing remarks.\n\nOpponents of Mr Obama's rule, including industry leaders, condemned it as a massive power grab by Washington.\n\nScott Pruitt, Mr Trump's pick to lead the EPA, will now begin the task of rewriting the rule, and a new draft is not expected for several years.\n\nImmediate impact: The EPA has been ordered to rewrite, or even repeal the rule, but first it must be reviewed. Water protection laws were passed by Congress long before Mr Obama's rule was announced, so it cannot simply be undone with the stroke of a pen. Instead the EPA must re-evaluate how to interpret the 1972 Clean Water Act.\n\nA bill the president signed on 16 February put an end to an Obama-era regulation that aimed at protecting waterways from coal mining waste.\n\nSenator Mitch McConnell had called the rule an \"attack on coal miners\".\n\nThe US Interior Department, which reportedly spent years drawing up the regulation before it was issued in December, had said it would protect 6,000 miles of streams and 52,000 acres of forests.\n\nAn attempt to cut down on the burden of small businesses.\n\nDescribed as a \"two-out, one-in\" approach, the order asked government departments that request a new regulation to specify two other regulations they will drop.\n\nThe Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will manage the regulations and is expected to be led by the Republican Mick Mulvaney.\n\nSome categories of regulation will be exempt from the \"two-out, one-in\" clause - such as those dealing with the military and national security and \"any other category of regulations exempted by the Director\".\n\nImmediate impact: Wait and see.\n\nProbably his most controversial action, so far, taken to keep the country safe from terrorists, the president said.\n\nThe effect was felt at airports in the US and around the world as people were stopped boarding US-bound flights or held when they landed in the US.\n\nImmediate impact: Enacted pretty much straight away. But there are battles ahead. Federal judges brought a halt to deportations, and legal rulings appear to have put an end to the travel ban - much to the president's displeasure.\n\nA fence is already in place along much of the US-Mexico border\n\nOn Mr Trump's first day as a presidential candidate in June 2015, he made securing the border with Mexico a priority.\n\nHe pledged repeatedly at rallies to \"build the wall\" along the southern border, saying it would be \"big, beautiful, and powerful\".\n\nNow he has signed a pair of executive orders designed to fulfil that campaign promise.\n\nOne order declares that the US will create \"a contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier\".\n\nThe second order pledges to hire 10,000 more immigration officers, and to revoke federal grant money from so-called \"sanctuary cities\" which refuse to deport undocumented immigrants.\n\nIt remains to be seen how Mr Trump will pay for the wall, although he has repeatedly insisted that it will be fully paid for by the Mexican government, despite their leaders saying otherwise.\n\nImmediate impact: The Department of Homeland Security has a \"small\" amount of money available (about $100m) to use immediately, but that won't get them very far. Construction of the wall will cost billions of dollars - money that Congress will need to approve. Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Republican-led Congress will need to come up with $12-$15bn more, and the funding fight - and any construction - will come up against issues with harsh terrain, private land owners and opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans.\n\nThe department will also need additional funds from Congress to hire more immigration officers, but the order will direct the head of the agency to start changing deportation priorities. Cities targeted by the threat to remove federal grants will likely build legal challenges, but without a court injunction, the money can be removed.\n\nThe Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, along with Arizona Democrat Raul Graijalva, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.\n\nThey argue the Department of Homeland Security is required to draft a new environmental review of the impacts of the wall and other border enforcement activities as it could damage public lands.\n\nWith the stroke of a pen...\n\nOn his second full working day, the president signed two orders to advance construction of two controversial pipelines - the Keystone XL and Dakota Access.\n\nMr Trump told reporters the terms of both deals would be renegotiated, and using American steel was a requirement.\n\nKeystone, a 1,179-mile (1,897km) pipeline running from Canada to US refineries in the Gulf Coast, was halted by President Barack Obama in 2015 due to concerns over the message it would send about climate change.\n\nThe second pipeline was halted last year as the Army looked at other routes, amid huge protests by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe at a North Dakota site.\n\nImmediate impact: Mr Trump has granted a permit to TransCanada, the Keystone XL builder, to move forward with the controversial pipeline. As a result, TransCanada will drop an arbitration claim for $15bn in damages it filed under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mr Trump made no mention of an American steel requirement. Construction will not start until the company obtains a permit from Nebraska's Public Service Commission.\n\nThe Dakota Access pipeline has since been filled with oil and the company is in the process of preparing to begin moving oil.\n\nIn one of his first actions as president, Mr Trump issued a multi-paragraph directive to the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies involved in managing the nation's healthcare system.\n\nThe order states that agencies must \"waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay\" any portions of the Affordable Care Act that creates financial burden on states, individuals or healthcare providers.\n\nAlthough the order technically does not authorise any powers the executive agencies do not already have, it's viewed as a clear signal that the Trump administration will be rolling back Obama-era healthcare regulations wherever possible.\n\nImmediate impact: Republicans failed to secure an overhaul of the US healthcare system due to a lack of support for the legislation. That means Mr Trump's executive order is one of the only remaining efforts to undermine Obamacare.\n\nAbortion activists were among the many protesters that came out against Trump's presidency one day after his inauguration\n\nWhat's called the Mexico City policy, first implemented in 1984 under Republican President Ronald Reagan, prevents foreign non-governmental organisations that receive any US cash from \"providing counselling or referrals for abortion or advocating for access to abortion services in their country\", even if they do so with other funding.\n\nThe ban, derided as a \"global gag rule\" by its critics, has been the subject of a political tug-of-war ever since its inception, with every Democratic president rescinding the measure, and every Republican bringing it back.\n\nAnti-abortion activists expected Mr Trump to act quickly on this - and he didn't disappoint them.\n\nImmediate impact: The policy will come into force as soon as the Secretaries of State and Heath write an implementation plan and apply to both renewals and new grants. The US State Department has notified the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that US funding for United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) would be withdrawn, arguing that it supports coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation. The agency has denied this, pointing to examples of its life-saving work in more than 150 countries and territories.\n\nThis policy will be much broader than the last time the rule was in place - the Guttmacher Institute, Kaiser Family Foundation and Population Action International believe the order, as written, will apply to all global health funding by the US, instead of only reproductive health or family planning.\n\nThe TPP pact would have affected 40% of global trade.\n\nThe Trans-Pacific Partnership, once viewed as the crown jewel of Barack Obama's international trade policy, was a regular punching bag for Mr Trump on the campaign trail (although he at times seemed uncertain about what nations were actually involved).\n\nThe deal was never approved by Congress so it had yet to go into effect in the US.\n\nTherefore the formal \"withdrawal\" is more akin to a decision on the part of the US to end ongoing international negotiations and let the deal wither and die.\n\nImmediate impact: Takes effect immediately. In the meantime, some experts are worried China will seek to replace itself in the deal or add TPP nations to its own free trade negotiations, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), excluding the US.", "This is a critical moment for journalism, particularly in the United States.\n\nMore than 40 years ago, the unmasking of the Watergate break-in inspired journalists around the world.\n\nReporters appeared as tireless investigators holding the most powerful to account.\n\nNow, a new president declares the fourth estate \"dishonest human beings\".\n\nA global survey published last week found only 43% of people trusted the traditional media.\n\nJournalists find themselves on the defensive having to demonstrate their integrity to a sceptical public.\n\nDonald Trump believes he is in a \"running war\" with parts of the media.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It was not right in today's world,\" he said.\n\n\"The decision-making is not as effective as it needs to be. Clearly it has to be improved.\"\n\nEcclestone has been removed as chief executive but offered a new advisory role as chairman emeritus.\n\nCarey said Liberty had major plans to grow F1 around the world. He said:\n• None F1 is a \"unique, iconic, global event that is a spectacle second to none\"\n• None The sport has not grown in recent years as much as it needed to and Liberty could exploit new technologies to do that\n• None Liberty would protect historic races and sees Europe as the \"foundation\" of the sport\n• None It would expand, particularly with a view to new events in the US\n• None Liberty wanted to make much more of the promotion of F1 itself, its participants and individual events\n• None despite speculation Silverstone could be dropped by 2019\n\nCarey was installed in September and said he had decided over the past four months that Ecclestone, 86, was no longer the right person to run F1.\n\n\"We needed a sport that while respecting what made it great has a sense of energy and innovation,\" Carey said.\n\n\"In many ways, in a simplistic sense, the sport said 'no' too much and we have to start saying 'yes' - not gimmick it up but find ways to do new and exciting things to have the sport continue to grow and interest and excite people.\"\n\nHe said Ecclestone had not been happy about the change but had accepted his new role.\n\n\"I would expect this is difficult for Bernie,\" Carey said. \"He has run this sport for his entire adult life and I respect completely that this is a difficult change.\n\n\"We have tried to deal with him with the respect he's due, which is why we offered him the chairman emeritus title.\n\n\"I have been sincere in saying I value his help and advice as we go forward.\n\n\"He calls himself a dictator. He has run it as a one-man dictator for a long time. I think the sport needs a fresh perspective. But he has a lot to continue to offer and he will always be part of the F1 family.\"\n\nLiberty has brought in former Mercedes F1 team boss Ross Brawn and ex-ESPN sales executive Sean Bratches to run the sporting and commercial sides of F1 under him.\n• None We will have a British Grand Prix - Carey\n\n'One of the benefits is a fresh start'\n\nCarey added the governance of F1 needed an overhaul.\n\n\"I don't know whether the decision-making is not what it should be because there is too much history amongst the players,\" he said.\n\n\"One of the benefits we bring is a fresh start. We don't have an agenda other than to make the sport great for its fans and that gives us an opportunity to look at how do we create more of a partnership - everybody has a shared vision of where do we want to go and we can align that vision and have everybody trying to move in the same direction.\"\n\n'We must make the story everything it can be'\n\nCarey said he felt F1 was not making the most of its appeal to fans around the world.\n\n\"Bernie deserves enormous credit for the sport he built,\" Carey said. \"It just got sold for $8bn so the proof is in the numbers.\n\n\"But the reality is to be competitive in today's world you need to continue to find ways to connect and excite fans and we need to use all the digital platforms available, have a marketing capability to tell the stories of the rivalries of the stars.\n\n\"They are larger-than-life personalities and you have to take advantage of all the rules to make that story everything it can be, have to make events larger than ever, music and entertainment with sport at the centre of it.\n\n\"I have talked about 21 Super Bowls and that is really what we should have. And then work with our partners - teams, sponsors, promoters, regulator - to ensure the race itself is everything it can be.\"\n\nWill the teams buy shares in F1?\n\nLiberty is to give F1 teams the opportunity to buy equity in the sport. They have rejected an initial offer but talks are ongoing.\n\n\"We would like to be more aligned with the teams and those discussions are ongoing,\" Carey said.\n\n\"We initially made a proposal that had too short a timeframe and we have found a way to have discussion that can have an appropriate level of exchange.\n\n\"Out of discussions of equity will be discussions of where do we want the sport to be. There is a great deal of interest in the equity but first and foremost it is about trying to create more of an alignment with the teams about the future of the business.\"\n\nHe added Liberty would look at the prize-money structure, which many inside the sport believe is too skewed in favour of the leading teams.\n\n\"We'd like owning a team to be good business, running a track to be good business and F1 is a good business, and together we are all figuring out how to share in making the whole business stronger,\" Carey said. \"But dealing with revenue is complicated.\"\n\n'We want races to be more successful'\n\nMany European races are struggling to cope with the high race fees Ecclestone demanded, but Carey said he hoped to find a way to make them more successful financially.\n\n\"I don't think we will make them more affordable,\" he said. \"We will make them more successful. We want to be more of a partner. To be in the US we are not going to own tracks but we will be more of a partner in trying to figure it out.\n\n\"We think these events should be bigger and more profitable than they are and we think, properly run, these events should continue to grow and be even more successful.\"\n\n'What drivers do is unique'\n\nCarey said the leading drivers were \"great personalities\" and he wanted to \"provide enough opportunities for fans to connect with those personalities\".\n\nAnd he added safety was \"critical\".\n\n\"Go and watch one of these cars drive down a track,\" he said. \"Anyone who tells me that is not dangerous by definition and awe-inspiring hasn't been to one of these races.\n\n\"What they do is truly unique.

The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg sets out three key points from the ruling\n\nCertainly, the prime minister did not want to find herself in the position of having to ask MPs for permission to start our divorce from the European Union.\n\nToday's verdict from the justices doesn't take away from the reality that having to go to Parliament before triggering Article 50 is a political inconvenience Theresa May very much wanted to avoid.\n\nNor does it change the sentiment among opposition MPs, some of whom are determined to try to amend whatever legislation the government puts forward to include guarantees of this or that, to try to force a vote on staying in the single market, or to push for final binding votes on the process when negotiations are complete.\n\nHowever, the sighs of relief are real in Whitehall this morning for two reasons.\n\nNicola Sturgeon wanted the Scottish government to be consulted before Article 50 was triggered\n\nThe justices held back from insisting that the devolved administrations would have a vote or a say on the process. That was, as described by a member of Team May, the \"nightmare scenario\".\n\nThe Scottish National Party has said it would not try to veto Brexit, but there is no question that having a vote on Article 50 in the Holyrood Parliament could have been politically troublesome for the government. After the judgement it seems like an unexploded bomb.\n\nAnd second, the Supreme Court also held back from telling the government explicitly what it has to do next. The judgement is clear that it was not for the courts but for politicians to decide how to proceed next.\n\nThat means, possibly as early as tomorrow, ministers will put forward what is expected to be an extremely short piece of legislation in the hope of getting MPs to approve it, perhaps within a fortnight.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

New Nigerian homes are being built on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean\n\nNigeria's largest city Lagos is facing a housing crisis. The BBC's Nancy Kacungira looks at how entrepreneurs are trying to solve the crisis.\n\nAffordable housing is a considerable challenge for urban areas with large populations, and this is particularly prevalent in the Nigeria's city of Lagos.\n\nMore than 500,000 people move to the city every year, and across Nigeria, there is already a housing deficit of more than 17 million units.\n\nThere are on-going projects of varying scale trying to address the shortage; one is reclaiming land from the Atlantic Ocean to build a new city suburb called Eko Atlantic on the shores of Victoria Island.\n\nTonnes of sand and heavy rock were poured into the ocean to provide 10 sq km (3.8 sq miles) of land for shops, offices and homes.\n\nProtected by an 8km long sea wall, the city will have its own power and water supply, and even an independent road network.\n\nDevelopers say Eko Atlantic is aimed at those on a middle income\n\nEko Atlantic will be able to accommodate more than 500,000 people, but the multibillion dollar project has been perceived as being \"only for the rich\".\n\nRonald Chagoury Jr, one of the developers, says it is a perception they have been trying to shake off.\n\n\"From the beginning we always thought that this would be a city for the middle income.\n\n\"We know that the middle income has grown significantly in the past 15 years and we know that it is going to grow even more.\"\n\nStill, some residents of Lagos feel that there are already many housing options - they just cannot afford them.\n\nProperties are pricey and landlords typically require annual, not monthly rent payments.\n\nBanking consultant Abimbola Agbalu tells me that he has to live at his grandmother's house, because renting his own place would be too expensive.\n\nSome housing projects remain unoccupied because they are pricey\n\n\"If I wanted to rent a house where I would prefer in Lagos I would be spending at least 80% of my pay cheque to move in because I would have to pay two years' rent upfront, agency fees and maintenance fees.\n\n\"And from then on I would have to spend another 60-70% of my pay cheque every year on rent, which doesn't make sense.\n\n\"The problem is not that there are no houses. If you look around, there are empty houses all over Lagos; some can even go a year without being rented out.\n\n\"The problem is that people can't afford them. We need better alternatives.\"\n\nOne Nigerian company is thinking inside the box in order to provide a cheaper housing option - by making homes out of cargo containers.\n\nDele Ijaiya-Oladipo says he co-founded Tempohousing Nigeria to provide a creative solution in a city that desperately needs low-cost housing.\n\nShipping containers are modified to make houses but Nigerians are not keen on them\n\n\"The only way we can get the housing deficit sorted is by providing good quality houses at affordable rates.\n\n\"You can't build a million homes at a price that no-one will ever afford - that doesn't achieve anything.\"\n\nMr Ijaiya-Oladipo's container homes are 25% cheaper than traditional housing, and can be built in as little as two weeks.\n\n\"But the concept is still foreign to many Nigerians; so most of his clients tend to use the containers to build office spaces, not homes,\" he says.\n\n\"Until a potential client actually sees our past work, they can't really picture how a shipping container can be used as a finished house or office.\n\n\"We have to encourage people to visit our office which is made out of containers, so they can see what we are talking about.\"\n\nFrom a self-sustaining city to refurbished-shipping containers, private sector real-estate developers are offering both big and small solutions - and Lagos needs them all.\n\nThe city is Africa's largest, and its population is expected to double by 2050; putting even more pressure on already limited housing options.", "Last updated on .From the section Formula 1\n\nNew Formula 1 boss Chase Carey says there will be a British Grand Prix despite speculation Silverstone could be dropped by 2019.\n\nThe circuit's presence on the calendar had been under threat because of the \"potentially ruinous risk\" of staging the loss-making race.\n\nHowever, Carey - who has been put in charge of F1 by new owners Liberty Media - says its future is safe.\n\n\"We will have a British Grand Prix,\" he told BBC Sport.\n\n\"The foundation of the sport is western Europe.

How GreyOrange is becoming India's home-grown robotics giant\n\nIn 2008, engineering student Samay Kohli wanted to build a humanoid robot, but his professor told him it would not be possible.\n\nAlong with his fellow student Akash Gupta, not only did they achieve that task, but they have also built GreyOrange, a multi-national robotics company based in India and operating across Asia.\n\n\"We've done some stuff that India was not supposed to do,\" Mr Kohli told the BBC. \"People are not supposed to build hardware, robot products, out of India and we've been able to do that.\"\n\nAcyut was India's first home-grown humanoid robot and the first robot the team behind GreyOrange built\n\nSo how did GreyOrange grow from an engineering classroom to an international robotics player?\n\nMr Kohli and Mr Gupta proved their teacher wrong, building India's first humanoid robot, which they called Acyut. They then entered their creation in kung fu competitions and international robot football championships.\n\nThe team also won several robotic competitions around the world.\n\nBut it was a different passion that has seen GreyOrange grow - not for sport, but for online shopping.\n\nIndia's online shopping boom is driving massive international investment in the country's e-commerce sector\n\nThe e-commerce sector in India has seen unprecedented growth in the last few years.\n\nRoughly 350 million Indian citizens are online and according to international payment company Worldpay, that will nearly double by 2020, when they will spend $63.7bn (£51.8bn) online.\n\nDespite companies often making a loss as they offer deeper and deeper discounts to attract customers, investors have flooded into the sector. More than $5bn (£4bn) of private investment was ploughed into the sector in 2015, according to global consultancy PwC.\n\nAmazon recently announced it would invest an additional $3bn in India, on top of the $2bn it announced in 2014.\n\nWhile online retailing is only a part of e-commerce, it is the area that many see as the one with the biggest growth potential.\n\nThose retailers servicing millions of consumers will need to keep their goods in warehouses, and those warehouses need to be efficient. That's where GreyOrange has positioned itself.\n\nIn India, GreyOrange says it has 90% of the warehouse automation market and it has worked with leading e-commerce and logistics firms in the country.\n\nThey also run eight offices in five countries and employ more than 650 people.\n\nGreyOrange claims AI robot Butler can make a warehouse up to five times more efficient\n\n\"Warehouses are everywhere and they are supposed to become more and more intelligent as consumer demand increases.'' says Mr Kohli.\n\nGreyOrange has two different robots to help warehouses become more productive.\n\nButler, an artificial intelligence-powered robotic system, helps pick products from shelves in the warehouse.\n\n''A single person would pick about 100 to 120 items in one hour. With our Butler robot, he is able to pick 400 to 500 items every hour.\" Mr Kohli says.\n\nThe second robot, Sorter, automates the sorting of outgoing packages in a distribution centre.\n\nThey say that the robots they already have installed can potentially sort three million packages every day.\n\nSamay Kohli (left) and Akash Gupta are the founders of GreyOrange\n\nOne of the biggest challenges to the company's success has been sourcing parts.\n\n''India does not have a very strong hardware ecosystem.\" explains Paula Mariwala, who invests in technology based start-ups for SeedFund.\n\n\"So to source the right products and to get manufacturing going at a large scale in the early stages is particularly difficult. You would not be able to try out different components to have different versions of the product very easily - your time cycles will be longer. ''\n\nThe size of the potential prize is what has helped the founders overcome these problems.\n\n''We were looking at how robots are going to be the next revolution that is coming right, the next decade is going to be all about making humans more efficient by using robots more and that's essentially how we got started.'' Mr Kohli says.\n\n''Robots are needed to work with humans and not to replace them. Humans will always be there in the workplace, but robots make a very important part of the ecosystem they work with.\n\n\"Ten years ago, every person did not have a computer, today every person has one computer. We look at robots in that sense: as everyone has one computer, in the future they will have one robot with them to help them do their work better.\n\n\"It's a trillion-dollar opportunity, that's the space we're fighting in. ''", "Marco has this image of his mother, who has been missing since 2000\n\nFor one young Swiss man looking for his birth family, official channels had turned up nothing. So Marco Hauenstein, 19, turned to Facebook to try to find out more - not anticipating how widely his post would be shared.\n\nMarco did not have an easy start in life, as the very few facts he knows about his birth mother indicate.\n\nGina Barbara Hauenstein was a drug addict, and during the 1990s spent time, Marco believes, in Zurich's then notorious Platzspitz open drugs scene, where addicts bought heroin in a city centre park, and injected it openly.\n\nWhen Marco was born in 1997, he was already addicted too, and had to spend the first months of his life in hospital withdrawing and recovering.\n\nAlthough his mother visited him from time to time, he never lived with her. About his father, he knows nothing: on his birth certificate, the space for the father's name has been left blank.\n\nIn 2000, Gina Hauenstein disappeared. Despite a police search both within Switzerland and across Europe, no trace of her has ever been found, and she remains listed as a missing person.\n\nMarco meanwhile lived with a foster family. He describes his childhood as happy, but he admits questions about his birth family were \"always on my mind\".\n\nWhen he turned 16, Marco left his foster family. There had been disagreements, not unusual between parents and teenagers, but Marco says his relationship with his foster family is good, and has improved since he began to live independently.\n\nAt the same time, he started to look for his birth family, and in particular for his mother. \"I really wanted to know, for myself, who was my family, who I belonged to,\" he explained.\n\n\"So, when I was 16, I started to call town record offices, and I contacted the police. But without success.\"\n\nMarco Hauenstein's search has drawn in many social media users, including journalists\n\nTalking to Marco, it is not entirely clear why this more traditional search for family members was unsuccessful. Switzerland is a small country, Marco was never adopted, he knew his birth name, his mother's name and, it seems, the town she came from, where her parents (his grandparents) still apparently lived.\n\nPerhaps the idea of a Facebook appeal seemed the most logical, or the fastest, way to reach out. And posting messages on social media might understandably be easier for a teenager than cold-calling official figures in local government or the police.\n\nBut the simple message which appeared on Facebook just three weeks ago has had consequences Marco - who uses the name Marco Julius Schelling on Facebook - did not expect. His message was shared and re-shared across Switzerland and Germany many thousands of times, and soon the media took an interest in his story too.\n\nMy name is Marco Hauenstein, and I was born on 17.06.1997 in the Aargau/Zurich region. After going through drug withdrawal as a newborn for 3-6 months I grew up with the Jung family, and later with the Schelling family.\n\nAfter searching for many years without success, I'm turning to you. I'm looking for my birth parents / grandparents!\n\nWhen I meet him in Zurich, he seems rather overwhelmed by the attention. He is accompanied by a camera crew from a local television station, and during our conversation he fields calls from a German channel, and a Swiss newspaper. At the same time new responses to his Facebook appeal are appearing on his phone every couple of minutes.\n\n\"I've had thousands and thousands of messages,\" he says. \"I really didn't expect this.\"\n\nMarco Hauenstein as a baby, with his birth mother\n\nBut his Facebook search has had some initial success. An aunt, a half-sister of his mother, has reached out to him, he says, and he has talked to her by phone.\n\n\"It was very emotional, we didn't talk much, it was just, 'Hello, so good to talk to you after all these years'.\" The plan is \"that we will meet tomorrow… I think we will meet tomorrow\".\n\nMarco has also received information relating to his grandmother, an uncle, and even, he says, some hints about the identity of his father. But he seems reluctant to share too much detail. When our interview finishes, he is met by yet another television crew.\n\nMessages for Marco keep pouring in\n\nThe next day, I get a message from Marco. The planned meeting with his aunt has not taken place, he says, because \"I could not reach her\".\n\nIt is clear the social media attention, and then the interest shown by the mainstream media, have caused problems.\n\nAdopted or foster children hoping to meet their birth families, or birth parents looking for their children, are generally advised to proceed using an intermediary, to communicate in confidence, and to arrange a face-to-face meeting only when all sides are really ready for it.\n\nThe advent of sites like Facebook has changed that. Social services report growing numbers of cases in which adopted or fostered children, or parents who have given their children up or had them taken into care, have been tracked down and contacted out of the blue. The brutal reality is that these contacts are not always welcome: not everyone wants a reunion.\n\nTracing relatives is difficult for Marco despite the power of social media\n\nBut for Marco, the hopes for a happy ending seem at least partially fulfilled. One day after the failed meeting with his aunt, another short post appears on his Facebook page: \"On Friday I was able to meet my grandmother and my uncle,\" he writes. \"It was a very moving moment, at last I have got a part of my family back!\"\n\nHis aunt, he continues, \"needs more time\" before agreeing to meet him.\n\nTime will tell if the reunion brings Marco the sense of completeness he feels he needs. His mother remains the key person he wants to find. But there has been no trace of her for 17 years. No one, not the police, the local authorities, nor Marco's new-found relatives, has any clue where she might be.\n\nMarco is not deterred.

We need to find purer solutions.\n\n\"We need to think through the solutions. I have ideas - I can't share them all with you because I want to share them with the teams first - but I have ideas of things we should start to study and perhaps use in '18 or '19.\"\n\nWill the technology have to change?\n\nBrawn said the high-technology aspect of F1 was a crucial part of its appeal but added: \"You must balance the technology with the sporting side.\"\n\nHe indicated he would be open to trying to change the turbo hybrid engines introduced in 2014, which have seen revolutionary steps forward in terms of fuel efficiency but which have been criticised for being too expensive and sounding dull.\n\n\"That is something we need to discuss with the teams,\" Brawn said. \"They have made a huge investment in these engines so you can't just discard them and say: 'We are going to change the engines.'\n\n\"But how do we get from where we are today to where we want to be in two or three years' time with a great racing engine that everyone admires and enjoys?\"\n\nCould a driver at a smaller team win the F1 title?\n\nPart of the reason for the lack of competitiveness is the huge spread of budgets between the front and back of the grid.\n\nBrawn said: \"The level of resource the top teams are using has made an enormous gap. My nirvana would be you get slightly odd circumstances and suddenly a team from the back wins. But at the moment you have two or three teams who can win and we need to spread that.\"\n\nHe said a budget cap was a \"delicate\" issue, but added: \"It has never really been tried, it was never fully adopted by Formula 1, and I think we should at least discuss it again and see if there's potential.\"\n\nBut he said there were other ways of closing up the field.\n\n\"We have to see if we can develop the rules to reward innovation less,\" Brawn said. \"Because as it is now innovation is heavily rewarded and if you can afford it, the slope is still quite steep - more money, faster cars. If we can flatten that off with the regulations that would go in the right direction.\"\n\nHe also said he would like to try to establish a 'draft' system for promoting drivers from junior categories so the drivers who make it into F1 were there \"purely on merit\".\n\nHistorically, some drivers at the back of the grid have paid for their seats in F1.\n\n\"What I'd love to see is a proper progression of talent into F1 where you could even introduce a draft system where the guys who win the GP2 or Formula 2 are available for the lower teams to use in their first year or two in Formula 1.\"", "A road was left blocked with fly-tipped rubbish including a toilet, bathtub and pool table.\n\nPolice say the person responsible for the fly-tip along London Lane in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, may have struck locally before.\n\nCyclist Martin Galpin, who came across the debris, described it as \"obscene\".", "Pollution alert warnings are being issued to the public at bus stops, tube stations and on roadside signs, under the new system set up by London Mayor Sadiq Khan.\n\nMany Londoners, however, are going about their daily business undeterred.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nWilliams v Konta coverage: Wednesday, 02:00 GMT: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live; live text commentary on the BBC Sport website.

So the end of his reign following the takeover of the sport by US giant Liberty Media represents a seismic change.\n\nEcclestone, now 86, is a tactician of remarkable skill, and a deal-maker extraordinaire who used chutzpah and brinksmanship to turn F1 into one of the world's biggest sports, form relationships with world leaders such as Russian president Vladimir Putin and make himself and many of F1's participants multi-millionaires.\n\nIn a remarkable four decades, Ecclestone revolutionised the sport:\n• None He bought the Brabham team and won two world titles, including a historic first with a turbo engine in 1983.\n• None Turned F1 into the biggest annual sporting event in the world, outstripped only by the Olympics and the World Cup.\n• None Controversially took the commercial rights away from the teams and made himself a billionaire.\n• None Fought off a criminal prosecution for blackmail that arose from a complicated series of sales of those rights.\n• None Carved a notorious reputation for making controversial statements, including saying Adolf Hitler was \"able to get things done\" and likening women to \"domestic appliances\".\n\nBut what made him mind-bendingly - some would say obscenely - rich is what brought him down in the end.\n\nSelling on the commercial rights to F1 is the source of Ecclestone's vast wealth. But it was never about the money, per se - it was about the deal. And now the deal has done him in.\n\nRestructuring the finances of the sport in the first years of this decade, Ecclestone also reorganised its decision-making process.\n\nHe did it to increase his power, but the structure he set up inadvertently neutered him and gave the big teams - particularly Mercedes and Ferrari - power to block him. This has led to log-jam.\n\nThe latest company to buy the sport - USA's Liberty Media - has looked at this, at a skewed prize-money structure, at a policy that is threatening to price out much-loved historic races in favour of characterless new ones in countries with questionable regimes, at a refusal to engage with digital media, and several other issues, and decided to ease him out.\n\nEcclestone is held in genuinely high regard within F1 for everything he has achieved but, outside a handful of acolytes, few will be genuinely sorry to see him go.\n\nThere has been a feeling for some years that he is a man out of time, that the sport needed to move on. In truth, this has contributed to the stalemate in F1 - people were simply waiting him out.\n\nMany believe his departure will be good for the sport. However, it will certainly make F1 less colourful, and it is hard to imagine seeing the like of him again.\n\nWhere did he come from?\n\nEcclestone's involvement in F1 started in the late 1950s. After a brief driving career in lower categories, he emerged as a manager for the British F1 driver Stuart Lewis-Evans but then disappeared from racing when Lewis-Evans was killed in a fiery crash at the 1958 Moroccan Grand Prix.\n\nHe appeared again in the late 1960s, again as a manager, this time to the Austrian Jochen Rindt. He was already very rich.\n\nWhat had the fortune come from? \"Property,\" Ecclestone says. All manner of rumours have abounded, including that he was involved in organising the Great Train Robbery, when £2.6m was stolen from a Royal Mail train in Buckinghamshire in 1963.\n\n\"Nah,\" Ecclestone once said. \"There wasn't enough money on that train. I could have done something better than that.\"\n\nRindt became F1's first and so far only posthumous world champion after he was killed at the 1970 Italian Grand Prix. But this time Ecclestone did not retreat.\n\nWithin a couple of years, he bought Brabham from its founder, the three-time world champion Sir Jack Brabham, and began establishing his power base.\n\nHow did he become omnipotent?\n\nBack then, circuit deals and television rights were operated on a somewhat haphazard, piecemeal basis. Ecclestone offered to look after them on the teams' behalf and wasted little time in building his influence.\n\nHe persuaded television companies to buy F1 as a package, rather than pay for individual races. That guaranteed vastly increased exposure, and the sport's popularity grew increasingly quickly.\n\nThe vast growth of F1 from what it was then to what it is today arguably started in earnest after the 1976 season, when a championship battle between the playboy Englishman James Hunt and the ascetic Austrian Niki Lauda caught the public's imagination.\n\nBy the 1980s, F1 was becoming a global sport, more and more races were being shown live, and a generation of charismatic stars enhanced its appeal - Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and, most of all, Ayrton Senna.\n\nIronically, Senna's death in 1994 only increased its reach and shortly after that the sport started on the route that has led to Ecclestone's departure.\n\nThe beginning of the end\n\nControversially, in the mid-1990s, Ecclestone struck a deal with his long-time friend and ally Max Mosley, who was then the president of governing body the FIA. It saw his own company become the rights holder of F1, taking over from the teams' collective body that Ecclestone previously ran.\n\nThis led to a furious row with some of the teams - particularly McLaren, Williams and Tyrrell - who claimed what Ecclestone was doing was illegal and that he was effectively robbing them.\n\nBut the complainants were eventually bought off. Ecclestone then set about monetising his new asset.\n\nIn 2000, Mosley granted Ecclestone the commercial rights to F1 until the end of 2110 for a one-off fee of $360m. Even then, many were shocked by the relatively paltry amount of money that changed hands to secure such a lucrative and lengthy deal.\n\nThis led to a dizzying series of sales as the rights transferred through various institutions. A German cable TV company bought them, and then collapsed, which led to its creditors - banks - taking its assets. In 2006, the German bank BayernLB sold its 47.2% stake in F1 to an investment company called CVC Capital Partners.\n\nCVC ran the sport for 10 years, employing Ecclestone as chief executive and empowering him to carry on as before, before selling to Liberty last September, in the deal completed on Monday.\n\nBut the sale from BayernLB to CVC is what ultimately led to the court cases on bribery charges that Ecclestone fought and survived a couple of years ago - and which he ended by paying the German courts $100m to end the case, without a presumption of guilt or innocence.\n\nIt did not escape notice that a man charged with bribery had paid - perfectly legally under German law - to end a criminal trial.\n\nWhat is he like?\n\nDespite his diminutive stature, Ecclestone is a forbidding character. Stories abound in F1 of real and threatened menace.\n\nA conversation with him is akin to juggling sand - he ducks and dodges and avoids questions with obfuscation, distraction and quick wit, a dizzying mix of truths, half-truths and fallacies.\n\nHe is approachable but apart, engaging but unknowable. After a verbal sparring match, he will sometimes reach up and chillingly pat you on the cheek, not unlike a mafia don in the movies.\n\nFor years, the more unsavoury aspects of Ecclestone's stewardship were glossed over or laughed off - largely because he was making those he was working for so much money.\n\nBut in recent years, the tone in F1 has changed as more and more people began to feel he was past his sell-by date.\n\nHe was a reluctant embracer of the internet age, and rejected entreaties to try to use it to extend F1's reach.\n\nHis argument was that he saw no way to make money out of it; others argued that his modus operandi of pursuing only the deal, the bottom line, and disregarding its potential longer-term effects was doing more harm than good.\n\nHis simple model - sell television rights and races to the highest bidder no matter who it was; squeeze the highest price possible out of continuing partners - created an annual global revenue in the region of $1.5bn (£1.2bn).\n\nYet he became increasingly haphazard and intransigent in his decision-making, coming up with unpopular ideas such as a double-points finale in 2014 or the fiasco over the change to the qualifying format at the start of 2016 - to try to spice up the sport.\n\nHe was responding to declining audiences, but seemed to ignore the fact they were dropping largely because of his switch away from free-to-air towards pay television in key markets, and the questionable effect on the racing of gimmicks such as the DRS overtaking aid and tyres on which drivers could not push flat out.\n\nThe declining audiences have led to a crisis of confidence within the sport, the response to which is a new set of rules for 2017 that mean faster, more dramatic-looking cars. But already there are concerns that these may not have the desired effect.\n\nBut while the problems are real, the fact remains that F1 has just changed hands in a deal that values it at $8bn (£6.4bn).\n\nAnd that is almost entirely down to Ecclestone and what he has built with his remarkable personality, vision and drive.\n\nControversial he certainly was; past his best he may have been. But for all his faults, Bernie Ecclestone is a unique and titanic figure who turned what was essentially a niche activity into a glittering global enterprise that to many represents an intoxicating mix of glamour, danger and raw, unmatched drama.\n\nGone from power he may be, but he will never be forgotten.", "Christy Kroboth gave up her career as a dental nurse to focus on animals with a lot more teeth - alligators. When she started training as an alligator catcher she was the only woman in her class, but - as she describes here - that made her even more determined to show she could jump on an animal many times her size, and tape its jaws tightly shut.\n\nWhen I first got my licence I was only doing this as a hobby, I'd go to work as a dental assistant and catch my alligators on the side.\n\nBut I got well known for taking the alligators alive, and I'm now doing this as my full time job.\n\nI've been a true animal lover all my life. I blame it on my mom. When we were little she was the one that would stop the car, pull over, and help turtles and ducks cross the road. We took in all the strays - cats, dogs, whatever needed a home.\n\nWhere I live in the south part of Texas we have a lot of alligators and there are these big master-plan communities that have manmade ponds and these ponds have alligators in them.\n\nThe homeowners are so afraid that they're going to eat their kids and that they're going to eat their dogs, but in the past 100 years we've only had one person killed by an alligator, so it's all just superstition.\n\nThese alligators have been around since the dinosaurs. They're great for the ecosystem, they keep all the aquatic life in check. They're actually really shy animals and they don't want to hurt anybody.\n\nBut people think of these guys as monsters. They have this vision in their head, and when I noticed this I thought, \"What can I do to help change people's mindset?\"\n\nAfter reports that golfers were being mean to this giant alligator, Kroboth was called in to safely remove it from a Texan golf course\n\nYou can't just go out and catch an alligator because alligators are protected by the state here in Texas. You have to have a special licence and a permit.\n\nI registered to be an alligator hunter with Texas Parks and Wildlife and we had to go through a whole training course.\n\nI was the only girl in the class and also the youngest. We had to go through the rules, laws and regulations, and then the trainer told us: \"OK, you've all passed the paperwork, now let's go do this hands-on.\"\n\nI'd never even touched an alligator before and for a split second I thought, \"I can't do this.\" I called my mom and I said, \"Mom, I can't do this!\" And, of course, mom is like, \"Come home right now, don't do it!\"\n\nBut something told me: \"I have to do this - not only for the alligators, but to prove to these big ol' country boys that I can.\"\n\nI ran out to the pond, got the alligator, taped him up and ended up passing the test. It was one of the happiest moments of my life and that adrenaline rush lasted the whole day.\n\nThe biggest alligator I've ever caught was a 13ft (4m) male weighing more than 900lb (408kg). I'm 120lb (54kg), so he outweighed me by a good amount.\n\nHe was blind and lost in a parking lot and could not find his way back to the water.\n\nUsually we catch alligators by grabbing their jaws with both hands. Once you feel comfortable enough you let go with one hand and you reach the other hand into your pocket, grab your electrical [insulating] tape and tape his mouth shut. You've got to move fast.\n\nWell, this alligator was so big that my hands would not fit around his jaws. I was trying to call my buddies to help, but it was six o'clock in the morning and none of my volunteers were answering.\n\nI was able to sucker one of the local cops into trying to help me, but he didn't want to put his hands around the alligator's mouth, which is understandable.\n\nAnother way to catch an alligator is to try to outweigh them by jumping on their back, so I talked this poor cop into jumping on to the back of this alligator with me.\n\nThe trick is you put all your weight down and sit completely down on the alligator. Well, the officer didn't and he kind of just danced around the alligator which any untrained person probably would.\n\nThe alligator didn't like that, so he started wiggling around, trying to get away. I knew instantly this was not going to work, so I stood up to back off and the alligator swatted me with his tail and made me fall on my bottom right there beside his un-taped mouth.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Christy Kroboth and police officer in action in the car park\n\nWe were all worn out from trying to catch this alligator for four hours, the parking lot was getting busy and stores were starting to open so I had to make the decision to call in a game warden.\n\nI got very sad because game wardens usually don't come out and catch alligators, game wardens usually come out and kill alligators.\n\nI went to my car and I started crying because I'd been defeated by this animal. I called the game warden and he said, \"Christy, stop crying. I am going to come help you. Do not touch that alligator until I get there.\"\n\nWell, when he said that I just got so much energy, I was so happy. I got out of my car like I could just conquer the world because somebody was coming to help me.\n\nSomehow I was able to go up to the alligator and hold his jaws in my arm and tape his mouth shut with my right hand. We ran to Home Depot and got zip ties to tie the alligator's hands behind his back like he was in handcuffs so he couldn't walk off.\n\nThen the game warden showed up and he said, \"I told you not to catch him!\"\n\nI said, \"I'm sorry, I just had all this confidence and I was able to do it!\"\n\nWe had to borrow a forklift to pick the alligator up and load him in to my buddy's truck, because he was so big.\n\nPotentially dangerous alligators that cannot be released back into the wild are taken to a farm with tons of acreage and tons of ponds. But if the alligator can be released in the wild we have certain release sites where we can drop them off.\n\nI have an SUV and sometimes the smaller alligators will want to climb over the seats and try to make their way to the front to help me drive, so it's me and the alligator waving at people going down the freeways.\n\nI've found out if you make it freezing cold in your car the alligators are calmer. So although it's the middle of summertime here in Houston - 97F (36C), humidity - I'm on the freeway in a jacket with gloves and a scarf and a blanket wrapped around me because my car is freezing cold.\n\nBut the alligator is behaving, so that's all that matters.\n\nSometimes they go to the bathroom, and alligator poo is not that great, so we'll have to roll down the windows and travel on down the road.\n\nBeing the animal lover I am I think it's very important that we educate everybody on the animals that are living in their backyards and help them understand that we can all live together.\n\nI have three educational alligators, their names are Cam, Taylor and Halo. We call them our \"edugators\" because we take them to schools and we teach people alligator safety and alligator education.\n\nI work with these alligators every single day, they're used to being handled so they don't see us as a threat. They'll even sit on the couch and watch TV with me when they're not in their enclosures.\n\nWhen I go out on a catch sometimes there's a very afraid person there whose mindset is changed.

the women's equivalent of the Tour de France.\n\nThe 2008 road race world champion added she had to take her own skin suit to the event in Italy after British Cycling had forgotten to organise one, having to then sew a Team Sky logo onto it at the behest of Brailsford.\n\n\"The facts are they did nothing for the women,\" said Cooke.\n\nAn independent review into the culture of British Cycling began after its former technical director Shane Sutton was accused of using offensive and discriminatory language towards cyclist Jess Varnish.\n\nDespite being cleared of eight of the nine charges against him, the Australian was found guilty of using sexist language in October but denies any wrongdoing and said he would appeal the ruling.\n\nWhat has the response been?\n\nIn her written evidence, Cooke said she had \"no faith in the actions in support of investigations conducted by Ukad or the testing they conduct, both completed at significant expense to the public purse\".\n\nIn response, Ukad said: \"There should be no doubt about the determination of this organisation to protect clean sport; our staff passionately believe in protecting everyone's right to clean, fair and honest competition.\n\nRegarding Cooke's accusations of sexism, British Cycling said in a statement: \"There is always more that can be done and we strive to make continual improvements to ensure that cycling is reaching out to women and girls of all ages and abilities.\"\n\nMeanwhile, UK Sport has launched an independent review to investigate some of the issues raised by Cooke.\n\n\"UK Sport takes its responsibilities as an investor of public funds and a champion of equality in sport very seriously,\" said a spokesman.\n\n\"On matters raised relating to the governance of the national governing body, UK Sport and Sport England have recently published a new code for sports governance which raises the bar for the requirements around governance that all sports bodies who receive public funding will need to address and comply to.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Does using art to sell hotels make good business sense?\n\nIf you visit the Emperor Qianmen hotel, near the Forbidden City in Beijing, be sure to bring an umbrella - otherwise you may get drenched. That's because it sometimes rains inside the lobby.\n\nThis is not due to a leaking roof. The \"rain\" comes from an installation by the Canadian artist Dan Euser, whose other pieces at the Emperor include an astonishingly realistic \"waterfall\" in the hotel's spa.\n\nThe Emperor is a \"water hotel\", explains the Chinese artist Bingyi, another member of the team behind the establishment's design. It is built on the site of an old bath house, and it was this, Bingyi adds, that gave the hotel's architect, Adam Sokol, the idea for an aquatic theme for the project.\n\nAt the Emperor Hotel in Beijing an art installation creates rain inside the lobby\n\nArt can be found almost everywhere at the Emperor. Bingyi's work on display includes Cave in Heaven, a vast ink and paper mural covering 400 square metres, over the entire walls of a large space.\n\nBingyi believes that China today is a fruitful place for collaborations between artists and hotels, like the one at the Emperor.\n\n\"Cultural significance is very important to Chinese.\n\n\"We take the greatest pride in our cultural heritage… we write calligraphy, we write poetry, we have this kind of particular passion to turn every little craft into this magnificent habit of living, and we're just obsessed with it,\" she says.\n\nThe lobby of luxury hotel Nuo displays huge vases made from Chinese porcelain\n\nThe Emperor is far from the only hotel in Beijing to place an emphasis on the role of art.\n\nEnter the lobby of the Nuo, a new luxury hotel, and you could be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into a museum. Throughout the vast space a series of giant vases are arrayed, each one more than two metres tall. They were made in Jingdezhen, home of fine Chinese porcelain for thousands of years.\n\nThe blue and white vases echo the Ming Dynasty theme that pervades much of the hotel's design.\n\nBut they are only the beginning, says Adrian Rudin, the hotel's general manager:\n\n\"Wherever you go, from the lobby lounge to the bar, there are different art pieces, some sculptures, some paintings, from different young and upcoming artists.\" He estimates the value of artworks at the hotel at around $50m [£40m; 46m euros].\"\n\nBeijing hotel managers say that art is one way for luxury lodgings to set themselves apart from rivals\n\nWhy so much - or indeed, any - art?\n\n\"It is a selling point in terms of consumers who are interested in fine art and culture,\" says Mr Rudin. But, he adds, there are other reasons too.\n\nThe hotel is the starting point of a new venture with the aim of creating an \"international luxury Chinese brand\" Mr Rudin explains.\n\nIn this context, he believes that art has a key role to play in helping the new enterprise to find a distinctive voice.\n\nOther luxury groups also see merit in this kind of approach.\n\nThe Rosewood Hotel says its aim is to create a space that feels like a \"luxury private home\"\n\nOne of the troubles of the modern international hotel scene, says Marc Brugger, is that it is an \"ocean of sameness\". Mr Brugger is managing director of the Rosewood hotel, another recently-launched luxury property in Beijing.\n\nHe believes that art can play a valuable role for luxury lodgings seeking to find new ways to set themselves apart. However, for this to be successful, time and careful thought are required.\n\nWhen the hotel was being conceived, Mr Brugger recalls, the idea of creating somewhere that felt like a \"luxury private home\" emerged. In such an establishment, art would have its natural place.\n\nThis meant departing from the usual hotel design process.\n\nChinese artist Bingyi's work for the Emperor Hotel includes Cave in Heaven, a vast ink and paper mural covering 400 square metres\n\nAccording to Mr Brugger, what often happens is that plans will be drawn up and some blank spaces will be left for \"art\" to be added later.\n\n\"That method is much faster\" he says, than the \"holistic\" approach taken in designing the Rosewood, where most of the art was specially commissioned and integrated into the design.\n\nThe design team searched for up-and-coming artists who could create work that would fit well into the scheme, rather than existing pieces from established names which might overpower or destabilise the overall look.\n\nIt took a long time to find the right artists, says Mr Brugger, but he feels that the results were well worth it.\n\nDo collaborations between artists and hotels like these make good commercial and creative sense? Up to a point, say experts.\n\n\"There is a rationale for doing this, in a crowded hotel market\" says Peter York, who has been an adviser to many large luxury enterprises. Companies need to find ways \"to stand out from the ordinariness of luxury now, because luxury has become very ordinary\".\n\nBut he says there can be risks, both for the hotels, and more particularly for the artists: \"It's a sensitive balance between what you do to make a lot of money, and to pump your brand, and the verdict of history - and you don't want the verdict of history to come in too fast\", he warns.\n\nStill, Chinese hotel operators, and the artists they work with, remain optimistic about the future and the benefits that can flow from working together.\n\n\"We're really re-imagining what is luxury\" says Bingyi. \"We just all need to be reminded every single day how beautiful things can be.\"", "Adam Elliott had photographs taken to show his height in relation to the size of his car\n\nA tall man has been convicted of driving while standing up after admitting dangerous driving.\n\nAdam Elliott was accused of showing off to other motorists with his head poking out of the roof of a convertible Ford Ka.\n\nThe 26-year-old from Newcastle, who is 6ft 7in (2m) tall, pleaded guilty at Newcastle Crown Court but later blamed his height.\n\nSpeaking after the hearing, he said: \"I was not stood up, I am just tall.\"\n\nJudge Robert Adams said it was \"pretty obvious\" Elliott had been \"showing off, demonstrating your height to people in an open top small car\".\n\n\"It was a dangerous thing to do,\" he said.\n\nAdam Elliott pleaded guilty to dangerous driving but later insisted he was just tall and not standing up in the car\n\nMr Elliott, a car dealer, was seen in Gateshead and on the Tyne Bridge driving the car with the top down in January last year.\n\nHe had been delivering the vehicle to a customer, he said.\n\n\"I pleaded guilty to this because I was advised to, but I still insist I was not standing up,\" he said.\n\n\"It's just because of my height.\n\n\"I'm an excellent driver but I was advised to plead guilty to get it over with.\"\n\nThe court heard Elliott had 12 previous convictions for driving while disqualified.\n\nHe was given an interim driving ban of 12 months and will be sentenced next month.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Find out more about the nominees for the 89th Academy Awards, which will take place on 26 February 2017.\n\nThe character: Michele Leblanc, the head of a video game company, who is raped in her home.\n\nThe critics said: \"Huppert gives a performance of imperious fury, holding the audience at bay, almost goading us to disown her.

But he was stumped.\n\nThen, sitting on Miami Beach while visiting his grandparents, his fingertips idly combing through the sand, a thought struck him. Just like Morse code used dots and dashes to convey a message, he could use thin lines and thick lines to encode information.\n\nA zebra-striped bull's-eye could describe a product and its price in a code that a machine could read.\n\nThe idea was workable, but with the technology of the time it was costly. But as computers advanced and lasers were invented, it became more realistic.\n\n50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations that have helped create the economic world we live in.\n\nThe striped-scan system was independently rediscovered and refined several times over the years. In the 1950s, an engineer, David Collins, put thin and thick lines on railway cars so they could be read automatically by a trackside scanner.\n\nIn the early 1970s, IBM engineer George Laurer figured out that a rectangle would be more compact than Woodland's bull's-eye.\n\nHe developed a system that used lasers and computers that were so quick they could process labelled beanbags hurled over the scanner.\n\nMeanwhile American's grocers were also pondering the benefits of a pan-industry product code.\n\nIn September 1969, members of the administrative systems committee of the Grocery Manufacturers of America met their opposite numbers from the National Association of Food Chains. Could the retailers and the producers agree?\n\nWrigley's chewing gum would be the first product sold via a barcode in 1974\n\nThe GMA wanted an 11-digit code, which would encompass various labelling schemes they were already using. The NAFC wanted a shorter, seven-digit code, which could be read by simpler and cheaper checkout systems.\n\nThe meeting broke up in frustration. Years of careful diplomacy - and innumerable committees, subcommittees and ad hoc committees were required before, finally, the US grocery industry agreed upon a standard for the universal product code, or UPC.\n\nIt all came to fruition in June 1974 at the checkout counter of Marsh's Supermarket in the town of Troy, Ohio, when a 31-year-old checkout assistant named Sharon Buchanan scanned a 10-pack of 50 sticks of Wrigley's juicy fruit chewing gum across a laser scanner, automatically registering the price of $0.67 (£0.55).\n\nThe gum was sold. The barcode had been born.\n\nWe tend to think of the barcode as a simple piece of cost-cutting technology: it helps supermarkets do their business more efficiently, and so it helps us to enjoy lower prices.\n\nBut the barcode does more than that. It changes the balance of power in the grocery industry.\n\nThat is why all those committee meetings were necessary, and it is why the food retailing industry was able to reach agreement only when the technical geeks on the committees were replaced by their bosses' bosses, the chief executives.\n\nPart of the difficulty was getting everyone to move forward on a system that did not really work without a critical mass of adopters.\n\nIt was expensive to install scanners. It was expensive to redesign packaging with barcodes - bear in mind the Miller Brewing Company was still printing labels for its bottles on a 1908 printing press.\n\nThe retailers did not want to install scanners until the manufacturers had put barcodes on their products. The manufacturers did not want to put barcodes on their products until the retailers had installed enough scanners.\n\nBut it also became apparent over time that the barcode was changing the tilt of the playing field in favour of a certain kind of retailer. For a small, family-run convenience store, the barcode scanner was an expensive solution to problems they did not really have.\n\nBut big supermarkets could spread the cost of the scanners across many more sales. They valued shorter lines at the checkout. They needed to keep track of inventory.\n\nWith a manual checkout, a shop assistant might charge a customer for a product, then slip the cash into a pocket without registering the sale. With a barcode and scanner system, such behaviour would become conspicuous.\n\nAnd in the 1970s, a time of high inflation in America, barcodes let supermarkets change the price of products by sticking a new price tag on the shelf rather than on each item.\n\nIt is hardly surprising that as the barcode spread in the 1970s and 1980s, large retailers also expanded. The scanner data underpinned customer databases and loyalty cards.\n\nBy tracking and automating inventory, it made just-in-time deliveries more attractive, and lowered the cost of having a wide variety of products. Shops in general - and supermarkets in particular - started to generalise, selling flowers, clothes, and electronic products.\n\nWal-Mart founder Sam Walton was able to exploit the possibilities barcodes offered\n\nRunning a huge, diversified, logistically complex operation was all so much easier in the world of the barcode.\n\nPerhaps the ultimate expression of that fact came in 1988 when the discount department store Wal-Mart decided to start selling food.\n\nIt is now the largest grocery chain in America - and by far the largest general retailer on the planet, about as large as its five closest rivals combined. Wal-Mart was an early adopter of the barcode and has continued to invest in cutting-edge computer-driven logistics and inventory management.\n\nThe company is now a major gateway between Chinese manufacturers and American consumers. Its embrace of technology helped it grow to a vast scale, meaning it can send buyers to China and commission cheap products in bulk.\n\nFrom a Chinese manufacturer's perspective, you can justify setting up an entire production line for just one customer - as long as that customer is Wal-Mart.\n\nThe cost of adopting barcodes initially put off some manufacturers such as Miller\n\nGeeks rightly celebrate the moment of inspiration as Joseph Woodland languidly pulled his fingers through the sands of Miami Beach - or the perspiration of George Laurer as he perfected the barcode as we know it.\n\nBut it is not just a way to do business more efficiently. It also changes what kind of business can be efficient.\n\nThe barcode is now such a symbol of the forces of impersonal global capitalism that it has spawned its own ironic protest. Since the 1980s, people have been registering their opposition to \"The Man\" by getting themselves tattooed with a barcode.\n\nYes, those distinctive black and white stripes are a neat little piece of engineering.

Can Trump accomplish what he wants?\n\nDonald Trump has promised to take Washington by storm.\n\nThere is almost nothing the new American president does not want to change - policy, tone, foreign relations, the press pool. Mr Trump has told his cabinet nominees to be bold and be bold now.\n\nHe wants a shake-up of US government and he wants it soon. That is why his first 100 days will be so definitive. He has set the timetable for an ambitious agenda and in the next three months we will find out how much he can really shift.\n\nThere is a lot happening in Europe also during this 100 days. Britain is beginning the formal process of Brexit and the Dutch will hold elections which could herald the next step in the transatlantic populist march.\n\nAnd of course, the French will gear up for their own election in which the National Front will be the focus of much attention. It is an extraordinary time on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nFormer President Obama has sent veiled warnings about the consequences of bold action\n\nThis exceptional moment demands examination and analysis. So the BBC is launching 100 Days, a daily programme that gives us the chance to look at these global shifts.\n\nIn many ways, the inauguration of Donald Trump marks the beginning of the test of the populist experiment. Now he owns the problems he campaigned against. Can his bold approach work, who will benefit and who won't and how will he engage with the rest of the world?\n\nEvery day for the next 100 days, with Christian Fraser in London and me in Washington, we will try to answer those questions.\n\nAs he left office, President Obama had a veiled warning for his successor - if you're going to try to change things and bring in bold ideas, make sure you're aware of the consequences. He also suggested that the weight of office would soon settle on Mr Trump's shoulders and cause him to look carefully and humbly at what he has taken on.\n\nKatty Kay and Christian Fraser will present 100 Days from Washington and London\n\nMr Trump goes into the White House as the least popular incoming president on record. He won't like that. We know from his election campaign that he watches polls closely and however hard he tries to dismiss them as \"phony\" or \"lying,\" they matter to him.\n\nHis low ratings today give him a powerful incentive to do better. That could mean a combination of both working on his tone (something which appears to be unpopular with large sections of the American public) and pushing hard with his agenda (much of which also seems to be popular with many Americans). That too, will make this a fascinating time.\n\nSome of this is under Mr Trump's control, but some of it is not. The Republican Party will have a big impact in making his first 100 days successful - they can boost his legislative agenda or kill it.\n\nThe party owes Mr Trump a lot, he has just handed them Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court, that will win him a lot of favours. But many Conservatives do not agree with everything he wants to do and, if his poll numbers stay low, they will have less incentive to help him out.\n\nSo we have a busy, fascinating few months ahead of us. This populist trend is global and the test starts now. Mr Trump wants to change the look, feel and smell of Washington. Funny that, so did Mr Obama eight years ago.\n\n100 Days, presented by Katty Kay and Christian Fraser, Monday - Thursday at 19:00 GMT on BBC News Channel and BBC Four and BBC World News at 19:00 GMT.", "Find out about the best actor nominees for the 89th Academy Awards, which will take place on 26 February 2017.\n\nNominated for: Manchester by the Sea\n\nThe character: Lee Chandler, an odd job man near Boston, who has a painful past and who suddenly finds himself with extra responsibilities.\n\nOscar record: A best supporting actor nomination for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in 2008.\n\nThe critics said: \"Barricaded inside the shell that's become of him, Lee peers at the world through guarded eyes, only just summoning the basic drive to get up every morning, shuffle out, and carry on his tasks.

If necessary, metal wire or mesh may be used to reconnect the pieces.\n\nOnce the bone is back in place, it should heal.\n\n'Lessons appear to have been learned'\n\nPeter McCabe, chief executive of brain injury association Headway, said the reaction of the medical teams was \"exemplary\".\n\nMcCabe, who was at Stamford Bridge, added: \"Headway has been critical of the way in which head injuries have been treated in many high-profile football incidents in recent years, but it is positive to see that lessons appear to have been learned.\"", "Coverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online.\n\nAs a hugely successful former coach to Grand Slam winners Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka, Wim Fissette was not short of job offers for the 2017 season.\n\nBut after British number one Johanna Konta made her interest clear, the softly spoken 36-year-old Belgian spotted a wonderful opportunity.\n\n\"From the outside, she looked like a very ambitious, hard-working player with a very strong body,\" Fissette recalled on the eve of Konta's Australian Open quarter-final against Serena Williams (02:00 GMT, Wednesday).\n\n'No weaknesses - but she can be better in every aspect'\n\nFisette and Konta started working together a couple of weeks after her rewarding partnership with Esteban Carril reached the end of the road. The two had been unable to agree financial terms for the new year, but after a promising week with Fissette at the Mouratoglou Academy in Nice, Konta had a plan in place for the next stage of her career.\n\nThe omens are extremely encouraging. After losing in the semi-finals in Shenzhen in the first week of the year, Konta beat Agnieszka Radwanska for the first time in her career to win the prestigious WTA title in Sydney. She won 10 sets in a row in the process, and has now extended her unbroken run to 18 after four comprehensive victories in Melbourne.\n\n\"The more I know about her, the more I like her as a player,\" Fissette told BBC Sport.\n\n\"She's physically very strong, she's got a big serve - for sure top three in women's tennis - and she's got big groundstrokes. I think there's not a weakness in her game, but I do believe she can be better in every aspect.\"\n\nWhat is so impressive is that 2016 should be such a hard act to follow. Konta won her first WTA title in Stanford, and finished as the runner-up in Beijing (one of the four most important tournaments on the women's tour) having started the year with that semi-final appearance at the Australian Open.\n\nPlayers often struggle to reproduce the form of a breakthrough season, but Konta is bucking the trend.\n\n\"We've seen this time and time again on both tours,\" says Courtney Nguyen, a senior writer for the WTA Tour.\n\n\"You get a big result, you have a breakout season, and the following season you end up suffering a bit of a sophomore slump.\n\n\"It can be very difficult playing with that pressure of knowing what can be expected of you. What's so refreshing with Jo is that's just not how she sees the world. She takes it all in her stride.\"\n\nIt is also remarkable how Konta appears to have dealt so well with the end of her partnership with Carril, as well as the untimely death of her mental coach. Juan Coto was a vital component of her team and it was his counsel which helped kick-start her rapid rise through the rankings.\n\nKonta prefers not to reflect publicly on that difficult period, or how she has adjusted so successfully since, which is perhaps a strategy of which Coto would have approved.\n\n'There will be a day when she wins a Grand Slam'\n\nThe 25-year-old is now very much in demand with the international - as well as the British - media. She conducted six meaty television interviews - including with Australia's Channel 7 and the US-orientated Tennis Channel - after her fourth-round victory over Ekaterina Makarova.\n\nShe is increasingly confident in her conversations, happy to discuss changing her two-month-old nephew's nappy, and slowly but surely prepared to give a little more insight into her approach.\n\nBut will all this be enough to bring her victory over Serena Williams the first time they ever share a court together? Some opponents seem to have lost such a match in their mind before a ball is struck, but Konta is different and will genuinely, and quite rightly, believe she can win.\n\nNo other current player can quite compare to the 22-time Grand Slam champion, but Konta was not at all overawed by Serena's sister Venus in their three meetings. Two of them she won: in the opening round of last year's Australian Open, and then in the final in Stanford last July.\n\nAnd Fissette's very first impressions of Konta are also worth recalling.\n\n\"The first time she played a player I was coaching - that was Victoria Azarenka in China - I was very impressed with the attitude she had,\" he says.\n\n\"She showed respect to the player but she was there to win the match. She came on the court with the belief that she could beat a top player like her and I still see that.\n\n\"I believe there will be a day when she will win a Grand Slam.\"", "South Yorkshire Fire Brigade were called in to assist in giving a polar bear a dental check-up.\n\nStaff at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park noticed Victor had a discoloured tooth.\n\nAfter being put to sleep and moved by fire officers, the 18-year-old was ready for his \"scrape and polish\".", "Gorden Kaye, best known for playing Rene Artois in the long-running BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!, has died aged 75.\n\nThe star's former agency confirmed to BBC News he died at a care home on Monday morning.\n\nDavid Sillito looks back at his career.", "Bernie Ecclestone has been removed from his position running Formula 1 as US giant Liberty Media completed its $8bn (£6.4bn) takeover of the sport.\n\nEcclestone, 86, who has been in charge for nearly 40 years, has been appointed chairman emeritus and will act as an adviser to the board.\n\nChase Carey has had Ecclestone's former role of chief executive officer added to his existing position of chairman.\n\nLiberty has also brought ex-Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn back to F1.\n\nThe former Ferrari technical director, who had been acting as a consultant to Liberty, has been appointed to lead the sporting and technical side of F1.\n\nEcclestone said earlier on Monday he had been \"forced out\".\n\nHe told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport: \"I was dismissed.

Formula 1 has been absolutely transformed. There was a time when four or five people were being killed every year but Bernie, with the help of Professor Sid Watkins, transformed that situation.\"\n\nWhat did Ecclestone do for F1?\n\nEcclestone, the former team boss of Brabham, began in the 1970s as a representative of his colleagues in negotiations with circuits, television and authorities and slowly moved into a position of almost absolute power.\n\nHe was central in turning F1 from a relatively minority activity into one of the biggest television sports in the world outside the Olympics and the football World Cup.\n\nAfter selling Brabham in the late 1980s, he moved full-time into administration.\n\nHe took over the ownership of the commercial rights of F1 from the teams in the mid-1990s. He then struck a deal in 2000 with his long-time ally Max Mosley, then president of the FIA, to lease them for 110 years at what critics said was an absurdly low price of $360m (£287m).\n\nThat set in motion a series of sales where the rights were passed from one entity to another, a process that led Ecclestone to stand trial for bribery in Germany in 2014. The case was dropped after a payment of $100m (£79m) without presumption of guilt or innocence. Subsequently Liberty took over from previous owner CVC Capital Partners.\n\nEcclestone built F1 into a sport that could be valued by one of the world's biggest media groups at $8bn.\n\nHe did this by building up F1's exposure on television, forcing companies to transmit the whole championship rather than cherry-picking the odd race here and there as had been normal until the early 1980s.\n\nBut he has been criticised for his authoritarian grip on the sport and his controversial approach.\n\nIn recent years, his demands for ever-higher fees from race tracks led to several European races struggling to make ends meet. His decision-making was also questioned, particularly over issues such as the introduction of double points for the final race of the 2014 season, and the quickly abandoned change of the qualifying format in 2016.\n\nA prize-money structure he created in the early years of this decade is believed by many insiders to be unfairly skewed in favour of the bigger and richer teams, and the governance system he set up at the same time has led to a log-jam when it comes to decision-making.\n\nEqually, his public utterances were sometimes ill-advised, such as praising Adolf Hitler for \"being able to get things done\" and calling women \"domestic appliances\".\n\nAnd some of his choices of locations for new races were also controversial - in countries such as Bahrain, Russia and Azerbaijan which secured huge fees for CVC but were criticised because of the regimes' records on human rights.\n\nWhat changes does Liberty plan?\n\nLiberty has not publicly revealed what changes it will make to F1 but insiders say it plans to act on many of the areas that were considered a weakness under Ecclestone.\n\nIn particular, it wants to exploit digital media, an area with which Ecclestone refused to engage, and it intends to invest in securing the futures of certain races which it considers valuable.\n\nIt also wants to grow the sport in the USA, where F1 has long struggled to gain a sure foothold and promote it much more extensively, talking of creating \"20 Super Bowls\", in terms of making much more of the build-up to each race.", "The sequel to Trainspotting is in cinemas this week. \"T2\" updates Ewan McGregor's famous \"Choose Life\" monologue from the first film in which he rails against the trappings of modern life.\n\nIn honour of the 1990s film, the Today programme decided to run its own tribute to that iconic monologue.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nCoverage: Daily live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text on selected matches on the BBC Sport website; TV highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nFour-time champion Roger Federer coasted into the Australian Open semi-finals with a straight-set defeat of unseeded Mischa Zverev in 92 minutes.\n\nThe 35-year-old reached the last four in Melbourne for a 13th time with a 6-1 7-5 6-2 win over Zverev, who upset world number one Andy Murray on Sunday.\n\nFederer, seeded 17th as he seeks an 18th Grand Slam title, faces compatriot Stan Wawrinka in the last four.\n\nWawrinka won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in 2014.\n\nThe 31-year-old has since added victories at the French Open in 2015 and the US Open last September, and is rated by many as the favourite in Melbourne following surprise defeats for Murray and Novak Djokovic.\n• None Watch day nine highlights on BBC Two from 16:45 GMT on Tuesday\n\nFederer, playing his first competitive event since Wimbledon six months ago following a knee injury, brushed aside Zverev with the minimum of fuss.\n\nHe blitzed through the first set in just 19 minutes, and soon levelled in the second when he was broken by the world number 50.\n\nFederer won 23 of 32 points at the net (72%) as he reached his 41st Grand Slam semi-final.\n\n\"My expectation was not to play Stan Wawrinka in the semis.

Did I look at you once?\"\n\nIt appeared as though Tsonga was fighting back when he finally broke serve to lead 4-3 in the second set, but Wawrinka snuffed out the danger with two successive breaks for a two-set lead.\n\nAn early break was enough to give Wawrinka the final set and he closed out a straightforward win to reach an eighth Grand Slam semi-final.\n\nOn the possibility of facing friend and compatriot Federer, he said: \"Playing in a semi here is always special - I won my first Grand Slam here in front of amazing fans. If it's against Roger, I hope a few will cheer for me.\"\n\nAsked about the exchange after the first set, Tsonga replied: \"Sometimes it happens. We can talk during the game. Nothing special, yeah.\n\n\"We just spoke about things that I think is only between him and me, and that's it.\"\n\nWawrinka added: \"You can have some tension during the match between players. Sometimes it can happen. Most important is that after the match it's all good.\"", "In a 2014 lecture to students at his former high school, Sean Spicer outlined a set of 17 \"rules for life\" that they would be wise to follow.\n\nRule number 16, he told the students at Portsmouth Abbey in Rhode Island: \"Follow your mom's advice: It's not what you say, but how you say it. The tone and tenor of your words count.\"\n\nThe now White House press secretary also told students that they should be true to themselves. Rule number eight, was relevant here, he said. \"Trust your gut. If it does not feel right, use caution.\"\n\nWith that guidance in mind, Mr Spicer's bellicose press conference with the White House press corps on Saturday suggests that the new presidential spokesman will not sugar-coat his words over the next four years.\n\nWhile the press secretary-journalist relationship is naturally an adversarial one, Mr Spicer has, in his first few days in the role, already cast himself as being in open conflict with much of the mainstream media, pledging to \"hold the press accountable\".\n\nThis, it appears, is the frontline of a strategy that White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus described as a will to \"fight back tooth and nail every day\" at supposed media efforts to \"delegitimise\" the president.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Sean Spicer, White House press secretary said \"no-one had numbers\" for the inauguration\n\nMr Spicer, 45, is not a new hand at managing negative press coverage.\n\nHe previously served as spokesman and chief strategist for the Republican National Committee (RNC) and has long criticised coverage of his party and Mr Trump.\n\nHe took the post of communications director at the RNC in 2011, a time when it \"was deep in debt and had a badly tarnished brand\", according to the Republican Party website.\n\nHe is said to have helped turn around its fortunes by boosting the social media team, leading rapid response efforts to combat attacks, setting up an in-house video and production team and expanding the use of surrogates - people who can publicly appear on behalf of candidates, defend them and boost their appeal.\n\nMr Spicer has not shied away from criticising Mr Trump in the past. In July 2015, speaking on behalf of the RNC after Mr Trump questioned Republican Senator John McCain's status as a war hero, he said that there was \"no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honourably\".\n\nMr Spicer claimed President Trump's inauguration was the \"largest inaugural crowd ever\"\n\nHe also described Mr Trump's June 2015 comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and criminals as not being \"helpful to the cause\".\n\nBefore joining the RNC, he worked as Assistant US Trade Representative for Media and Public Affairs in the George W. Bush administration: a role that involved promoting the kind of free trade that his boss now fiercely criticises as being unfair for the American worker.\n\nStill, Mr Spicer was loyal to Mr Trump on the campaign trail even as the path-breaking candidate split the party and many Republican luminaries distanced themselves from him.\n\nThe broad-shouldered, compulsively gum-chewing Republican (\"Two and a half packs by noon,\" he told the Washington Post) is a long-time member of the US Navy Reserve.\n\nHe received a Masters degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in Newport in 2012 and is known to be fierce, and deeply competitive.\n\nOne editor who has been blasted many times by Mr Spicer told the Post that her young child recognises his voice on the phone and bursts into tears.\n\nHis wife Rebecca is the chief of communications at the National Beer Wholesalers Association and previously worked in the Bush White House after a career in television news.\n\nAs press secretary, Mr Spicer will serve as President Trump's most visible spokesman, and is expected to hold daily televised media briefings, though he has spoken of his desire to shake up the way White House media is managed.\n\nWhile he has said that Mr Trump will do press conferences, he also wants to utilise technology to \"have a conversation with the American people and not just limit it through the filter of the mainstream media\".\n\nHe has also described White House press briefings as having become \"somewhat of a spectacle\". Many would use that word to describe the first under the Trump administration.", "A woman has been removed from an Alaska Airlines flight after berating the President Trump supporter seated next to her.\n\nScott Koteskey - the man she confronted - filmed the incident and uploaded it to Facebook.\n\nThe airline told the BBC the woman had insulted other passengers before boarding the plane, and that it stood by the employee who decided to remove her.", "\"Perhaps not the most flattering photo of me, but I'm sharing this awful picture and my story to help increase understanding of the impact of mental illness and to celebrate my recovery.\"\n\n\"As I have worked in mental health services for 29 years, one would think I would be immune to mental illness.\"\n\nIn a LinkedIn post that has been shared more than 5,000 times, Mandy Stevens shared a photo of herself, red-eyed with matted hair, in the midst of a depressive episode that resulted in her being hospitalised. She wrote the post on the day she was discharged from a 12 week stay on the inpatient ward at the City and Hackney Centre for Mental Health in London.\n\nOne thing that struck many people who read Stevens' post on the online professional network was her unique vantage point - she has been both an employee and patient of the UK's National Health Service mental health programme.\n\nStevens began her career in the NHS as a mental health nurse. After 15 years she became a hospital manager, and then a director.\n\nAlthough she has suffered episodes of \"mild to moderate\" depression, she managed it through counselling and very few of her family and friends knew about it.\n\n\"There is a huge amount of stigma around mental illness,\" Stevens told BBC Trending, \"and for the past 29 years I have worked in Mental Health Services and seen the negative effect this stigma has on people who use our services. From personal embarrassment, family embarrassment, not accepting diagnoses or treatment, not wanting to attend mental health community services in case they are recognised. There is also stigma amongst family, friends and colleagues, including whispered rumours and avoidance.\"\n\nThen in November, things changed, and her depression became serious enough to warrant hospitalisation.\n\n\"When I was very, very depressed, anxious and suicidal I was so ill I was almost monosyllabic, I could hardy walk properly, I couldn't shower or dress properly. Eating and all the things that we take for granted were a huge struggle. I spent most of every day in bed, crying and wanting to be dead. I was absolutely terrible. So frightening and awful.\"\n\n\"The absolutely wonderful nurses on Gardner ward at City & Hackney Centre for Mental Health were amazing,\" Stevens says.\n\n\"They would come and see me very regularly throughout the day, spend time with me, encourage and support me, listen to me crying and talking and throwing up a huge amount of emotion. The staff nurses and the healthcare assistants were wonderful, accessible and compassionate 24/7. I am so proud of my profession.\"\n\nWhilst in hospital and after she was over the worst Stevens says she felt a bit like an \"undercover cop\" as she observed how the ward was run.\n\n\"Without exception the staff treated all of the patients with dignity and respect.\"\n\nWhen asked what she thinks of the state of the NHS right now, Stevens says, \"Very difficult for me to answer this question now… I can only talk about my particular experience as a patient in an 'Outstanding Trust' - which has been a great experience.\"\n\n\"I am, of course, aware that not everyone is as lucky as me to receive this type of care. Unfortunately, mental health services are always seen as the 'Cinderella services' with lower levels of funding and cuts.\"\n\nAnalysis by the King's Fund think tank says 40% of the 58 mental health trusts in the UK saw budgets cut in 2015-16. It found six of them had seen budgets cut three years in a row. An NHS spokeswoman told the BBC that mental health services were \"wider\" than trusts, and care was funded in other ways.\n\nSteven adds that help is there.\n\n\"There is a huge range of accessible services across the country. Your GP is usually the best place to start as they can signpost you to local services and, if necessary, they can refer you to formal mental health services, but there are also a wide variety of other services around run by volunteers,\" she says.\n\n\"My first message is to reach out to people. Speak to your close family and friends about your mental health, and start opening conversations about it.

Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker and some aliens that look like giant squid are the main stars. Denis Villeneuve is the director.\n\nWhat's it about? Aliens.

It's picked up a string of trophies during awards season already, but it would it's unlikely to take home the main prize at the Oscars.\n\nTalking point: Even though it's up for best picture, Amy Adams failed to secure a nomination in the best actress category - she was nominated at the Golden Globes and Baftas, though.\n\nWho's in it and who directed it? Viola Davis and Denzel Washington play husband and wife Troy and Rose Maxson. Washington also directed the film, based on the August Wilson play Fences.\n\nWhat's it about? This family drama set in 1950s America is centred around the domineering Troy Maxson, who rules his home with an iron fist and has a volatile relationship with his son Cory.\n\nThat's not to say he doesn't have a loving relationship with Rose, but it's fair to say her patience is tested by his behaviour later in the film (spoiler: he cheats).\n\nWhat did the critics say? \"It's all too seldom that a feature film combines brilliant acting with a spellbinding flow of language.\" [The Wall Street Journal]\n\nHow likely is it to win? While Washington and Davis are great, the film isn't exactly... cinematic. This one is an outsider.\n\nTalking point: It's not the first time Washington and Davis have played these roles - they were the Maxsons on Broadway in 2010, winning Tony Awards for their performances.\n\nWho's in it and who directed it? Andrew Garfield, Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving and Teresa Palmer are in the cast of this Mel Gibson war epic.\n\nWhat's it about? The true story of a guy called Desmond Doss, a World War Two medic who joined the army but refused to even touch a gun - due both to his Christian faith and the fact he has a violent father.\n\nHe struggles to be accepted in the army at first but goes on to single-handedly save the lives of 75 men.

Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine star; David Mackenzie directed.\n\nWhat's it about? An ex-con (Foster) and his brother (Pine) resort to robbing banks in an attempt save their family's Texan ranch after the death of their mother. Bridges plays the ranger on their case.\n\nIt's been described as a modern Western, but it could also be described as a cops and robbers drama with slices of sharp comedy, or a study of two brothers battling against the system.\n\nWhat did the critics say?: \"Hell or High Water is a thrillingly good movie - a crackerjack drama of crime, fear and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas that feels completely exotic for being so authentic.\" [Variety]\n\nHow likely is it to win? It's gritty, heartfelt and beautifully written, but it's fair to say this is the rank outsider. And you could be forgiven for it having gone under your radar - it was released in the UK last September, and in August in the US.\n\nTalking point: The producers had to deal with sweltering conditions and rattlesnakes during filming, describing the conditions as \"insufferable\".

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are the all-singing, all-dancing stars in Damien Chazelle's film.\n\nWhat's it about?

Very. Like, very very. Bookies say it is the overwhelming favourite - and it doesn't hurt that it's a film all about Hollywood itself.\n\nTalking point: Some have deigned to suggest that La La Land is overhyped and overrated - but that hasn't stopped its juggernaut-like journey through awards season.\n\nWho's in it and who directed it? Sunny Pawar is Saroo as a young boy, with Dev Patel playing him as an adult. There's also Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman. The film is directed by Garth Davis.\n\nWhat's it about? This is the staggering true story of a young Indian boy who is adopted after losing his family at a young age.\n\nBut he manages to find them again, decades later. With a bit of help from Google Earth.\n\nWhat did the critics say? \"The beauty of Lion is that it explores and allows for the unique possibilities and power of multiple homes, multiple families and multiple selves.\" [The Chicago Tribune]\n\nHow likely is it to win? Dev is certainly in the frame for best supporting actor, but it's not that likely to translate to best picture success.\n\nTalking point: It's been making people cry. A lot. And not just audiences - both Dev and Nicole Kidman say the script made them weep. So if you go to see it, take tissues.\n\nWho's in it and who directed it? Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams star, with Kenneth Lonergan the director.\n\nWhat's it about? Caretaker Lee Chandler, played by Affleck, has to look after his teenage nephew after his brother (the boy's father) dies.\n\nAnd he does this while still grieving for his own young children, who died in a house fire. It's safe to say this film is short on laughs.\n\nWhat did the critics say? \"Manchester by the Sea is heartbreaking yet somehow heartening, a film that just wallops you with its honesty, its authenticity and its access to despair.\" [Los Angeles Times]\n\nHow likely is it to win? The Academy tends to like gritty, serious films which could explain why it's currently fourth favourite.\n\nTalking point: The original idea was thought up by Matt Damon and John Krasinski, from the US version of The Office. Damon was actually meant to star as Lee originally, but had other filming commitments.\n\nWho's in it and who directed it? Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris and Janelle Monae star in Barry Jenkins's film.\n\nWhat's it about?

It's currently second favourite and has been picking up awards left, right and centre - so watch this space.\n\nTalking point: Naomie Harris is nominated for best supporting actress - yet she managed to squeeze all of her filming into just three days.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The future of health and social care in England is a major talking point around Westminster. And at this highly sensitive moment, signs of tension between Downing Street and the leadership of NHS England are emerging.\n\nA story in The Times newspaper suggested that aides to the prime minister were briefing against Simon Stevens. The head of NHS England, it was reported, had been seen by Number 10 as \"insufficiently enthusiastic and responsive\" to the problems facing the service.\n\nIt was denied by both sides but it seems clear that the relationship is not as warm as it might be.\n\nMr Stevens worked closely with George Osborne, the former chancellor, in launching his five-year plan for the NHS and the funding which underpinned it.\n\nHe was often in Downing Street for talks with David Cameron. But things have not been the same since the arrival of Theresa May. It took a while for her to meet Mr Stevens and she does not have the same level of interest in health as her predecessor, predictably perhaps because of the time spent on the Brexit issue.\n\nI understand there is a reasonable working relationship though nothing like what Mr Stevens was used to under the Cameron administration. Mrs May's watering down of the obesity strategy, which NHS leaders had developed over many months, did not help matters.\n\nNow, though, there is a distinct chill. Just a couple of hours after Mrs May defended government policy against fierce Labour attacks in the Commons, the head of NHS England made it very clear he was not impressed with the funding provided by ministers.\n\nThere was nothing in what he told MPs on the Commons Public Accounts Committee which he had not said before. It was the timing and the way he said it.\n\nMr Stevens told the committee that \"like probably every part of the public service we got less than what we asked for\", directly contradicting suggestions by the prime minister and the health secretary that all the funding requested by the service up to 2020 had been promised. He went on to say that spending on the NHS in England per head of population would actually fall in 2018-19.\n\nTensions have been reported between Simon Stevens and Theresa May\n\nEven as Mr Stevens was providing his sobering analysis of prospects for the NHS, Downing Street had a cutting response ready for reporters. At the time the five-year spending deal was announced, according to the prime minister's spokeswoman, the NHS chief executive had said \"our case for the NHS has been heard and actively supported\".\n\nUnder the coalition government's controversial health reforms in 2012, NHS England gained more autonomy.

Africa is a hotspot.\n\nBut it has been shown that prawns will avidly eat the water snails that host the parasite, breaking the cycle of infection that includes people.\n\nThe impact was most eloquently demonstrated on the Senegal River.\n\nThere, the Diama Dam was built close to the estuary in 1986, blocking the ability of prawns to migrate up and down the water course, decimating their presence.\n\nWhen scientists restocked the crustaceans upstream of the barrier in a controlled experiment, they saw a dramatic fall in schistosomiasis re-infection rates among the local population.\n\nBut the ecological consequences of dam construction are often complex and hard to unwrap, and the team could not therefore know for sure how applicable this approach might be to other areas.\n\nSo they did an analysis - to look at multiple dam systems worldwide to see how these mapped across decades-long records of schistosomiasis and the traditional habitat ranges of the large migratory prawn, Macrobrachium.\n\nTo be clear, no-one actually went out into the field to count prawns, but the results of the analysis were nonetheless compelling: damming was followed by greater increases in schistosomiasis in those areas where prawns had historically been present versus those zones not known to be big prawn habitats.\n\nThe inference being that the loss of the crustaceans was a major factor in the rise in infection.\n\n“Where there were dams, schistosomiasis increased, but it increased more - at least double on average - where we expected these predators to be, traditionally - compared to those dammed watersheds where they have not been,” explained Dr Susanne Sokolow from Stanford University and UC Santa Barbara, US.\n\nAnd her colleague, Prof Giulio De Leo, added: “We ended up finding that something like 280 million to 350 million people live in areas that are endemic for schistosomiasis and could potentially benefit from this type of intervention (prawn re-introduction).\n\n“We are talking in fact about 40% of the 800 million people that are potentially at risk of schistosomiasis and this is because most of the people tend to concentrate in coastal areas where there is also historical presence of these migratory prawns that happen to be voracious predators of the snails that amplify schistosomiasis.”\n\nSokolow and De Leo gave details of their latest work at the recent American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.\n\nThe Diama Dam allowed for the expansion of agriculture along the Senegal River\n\nThey are now working with various groups in Africa (the Upstream Alliance) to try to develop sustainable means of maintaining prawns in affected rivers.\n\nPraziquantel: A highly effective treatment but it does not stop re-infection\n\nThis includes prawn aquaculture farms. The crustaceans are corralled in netted areas close to the river bank to keep on top of the snails and then harvested for food. Schistosomiasis cannot be caught by eating the prawns, so it is a strategy that has economic as well as a health benefits.\n\nThe team is also examining the role other predators could play, such as catfish and ducks. Both will eat freshwater snails.\n\nAnother idea is to tackle the problem at source - the dam. It should be possible to retrofit barriers with some kind of prawn bypass, akin to the “ladders” that aid salmon in other parts of the world to get to their upstream spawning grounds.\n\nThe capital investment required at existing dams could be very large, however.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Giulio De Leo: \"We want to identify other candidate sites around the world\"\n\nThe native African prawn Macrobrachium vollenhovenii is the focus of attention and biotechnology (non GM) techniques are available that allow all-male progeny to be produced in aquaculture farms.\n\nUsing only males is preferable on a few counts. They grow fast and big and consume more snails, but being male they do not need to migrate in the same way as females, which require a saline estuary for spawning - so the dam becomes less of an issue.\n\nBut prawns are not a “silver bullet”, cautions Dr Sokolow. A suite of solutions will ultimately be necessary.\n\n“There’s a drug treatment that works very well - praziquantel. It clears the worms out of people and is 98-99% effective. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have lasting effects, so people the very next day - people living in poverty, especially, where there isn’t clean and safe water to access - are back out in the rivers and streams getting re-infected,\" she told BBC News.\n\n“Clearly, there are other factors in play, such as the building up of agricultural systems that follow the construction of the dams. That increases population densities and potentially puts agrochemicals in the river that influences the system. But when you add in the loss of the prawns, the situation becomes worse; and it suggests that this tool of restoring prawns could be a big factor in helping to reduce and mitigate the impact of dams on schistosomiasis.”\n\nIt may not be just prawns - ducks and catfish may be useful tools, also", "With the local economy relying on the slopes to provide income for several months each year it seems the snow cannons are here to stay, despite protests from some environmental groups.", "Leading nurses say conditions in the National Health Service are the worst they have ever experienced. Below are a selection of the experiences of nurses and former nurses who got in touch to share their experience and the problems they say they face working within the NHS.\n\nI have been a nurse for 30 years, but I am also currently due to undergo surgery, which has been cancelled three times since November 2016, so I feel I really see both sides of the impact of the cuts.\n\nI feel the treatment the NHS is able to offer and the working conditions of staff have both gone markedly downhill since 2008, as the direct result of government cuts to both the services the NHS offers and the number of staff it employs.\n\nI think the responsibility for the problems the NHS is currently facing rest firmly at the government's door.\n\nBoth medical and NHS trust staff are doing the best they can without the resources they desperately need.\n\nThe people I treat are often very ill by the time they reach me, as a result of huge cuts to other departments and services.\n\nThe NHS is at breaking point.\n\nI'm 24 years old, and I've been a nurse for two years.\n\nI should be at the start of a long and wonderful career, which was my dream for many years.\n\nHowever, I am so overworked I can't continue.\n\nI am a front-line nurse on a ward, and the other day I started work at 07:00 and left at 23:30, with only a total of 45 minutes break all day.\n\nWith an ageing nursing workforce, I'm really concerned, because if I can't do it as a 24-year-old, then I really worry about the nurses coming up for retirement.\n\nI worked full-time for over a year at a hospital in Birmingham.\n\nHowever, I recently left because the staffing compared to patient dependency (that means how poorly they are) was so bad it scared me enough to leave.\n\nWe frequently had one junior nurse in charge of the ward, and very often had one nurse take care of four high-dependency patients (patients that need one nurse between two of them).\n\nWe had to leave all admissions until the nightshift because there was no time in the day, which meant patients often being moved on to the ward as late as 03:00.\n\nBasic nursing care was often missed due to the lack of staffing, and resources and training were almost always cancelled due to lack of staff on the ward.\n\nAnd this was not a one-off, this was all the way through the hospital, all the time.\n\nI have worked in a busy hospital in Plymouth for nearly 10 years.\n\nI have watched and listened in despair at people haranguing the NHS and what we aren't doing, but the problem is not the hospitals.\n\nThe problem is bed-blocking because of a lack of other places for patients to go.\n\nAnd that can only be addressed by the social services system.\n\nWe outsource all our social care to independent companies that ask enormous amounts for the elderly and disabled, and this is not realistic.\n\nOne of my patients some weeks ago, had been stuck on our ward for months because a suitable next step couldn't be found for him.\n\nWe need to empty our beds of people who need longer term social care, so we can treat those who are sick and then have somewhere for them to go on to after initial treatment.\n\nWe need more viable old-age homes, and more mental health facilities, because care in the community does not always work and people often simply end up back in hospital.\n\nI was a nurse manager for many years, and I believe the root of the problem for the NHS is the year-on-year cost cutting forced on every single department by successive governments.\n\nWhilst the government puts money into areas such as accident and emergency, it is constantly taken out again by the annual cost-cutting.\n\nThe prime minister has spoken about improving access to mental health services for young people.\n\nWhen I started working in management, in Cumbria, 20 years ago, there were services for young people close to home.\n\nThere were also more beds for adult mental health patients, but annual cost-saving meant wards were closed and beds disappeared in West Cumbria, meaning that service users were admitted to Carlisle or further afield.\n\nThis meant a minimum of an 80-mile round trip for families in an area of the country where public transport is often very poor.\n\nMaybe if the government stopped the annual cuts to budgets and bolstered the system with adequate funds, the NHS would have a chance of surviving and delivering the quality service that its staff want to deliver.", "Abdullah Cangil, who was forced to emigrate from southern Cyprus to the north, says he is happy to hand back his house\n\nAbdullah Cangil is a 66-year-old Turkish Cypriot, living in Morphou - a border town on the divided island of Cyprus.\n\nHis three-bedroom house is surrounded by orange and lemon trees.

For more than 40 years Cyprus has been a divided island.", "A drone captures the beauty of broken ice being carried on the Danube river in Budapest, Hungary.", "The claim: Levels of inequality in the UK have been getting worse.\n\nReality Check verdict: Official figures suggest that income distribution has become less unequal over the past decade.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday morning that he would be interested in a cap on earnings, because \"we cannot go on creating worse levels of inequality\".\n\nCoincidentally, Tuesday morning also saw the release of the annual report on income inequality from the Office for National Statistics.\n\nIt said that there had been a gradual decline in income inequality over the past decade.\n\nIt is using the Gini Coefficient, which is a measure of inequality - in this case, a coefficient of zero would mean that all households had the same income while 100 would mean that one household had all the income.\n\nThese figures are for disposable income, which is what you get after you've added benefits and subtracted direct taxes such as income tax and council tax.\n\nThere are caveats around these figures - they are based on surveys, so there is a margin of error, and it is particularly difficult to get survey responses from people at the top of the income distribution.\n\nBut the official figures suggest that there was a considerable increase in inequality in the 1980s, relatively little change from the early 1990s to mid-2000s and then a gradual decline in the past decade, returning the UK to the same level of inequality as was seen in the mid-1980s.\n\nSo from these figures it would be wrong to conclude that inequality has been getting worse.\n\nWhat could be missing from this analysis? The ONS looks at inequality across the whole population - there has also been much interest in comparing the richest 1% or 0.1% with the rest of the population.\n\nThe World Top Incomes Database (which you can see in figure 3 of this blog) suggests that since 1990 there has been relatively little change in the share of income taken by the richest 20% or 10% of the population.\n\nThe richest 1% and the richest 0.1% had seen their share of income rising steadily until the financial crisis, but it has fallen since then. So once again, inequality has not been growing.\n\nThe measures identified so far have been looking at income rather than wealth.\n\nIt is also possible to calculate Gini coefficients for wealth, although the latest official figures for it covered only up to the middle of 2014.\n\nFrom 2006 to 2014, there was a small increase in overall wealth inequality, with property wealth having the biggest effect.\n\nHousing costs are a particular issue - the Department for Work and Pensions calculates a Gini coefficient for income distribution that takes housing costs into account.\n\nThe difference it makes is that inequality increases in 2013-14, although it is still below pre-financial crisis levels.\n\nNone of this suggests that inequality does not exist in the UK or that it is not a problem or indeed that it is not worse than in other countries, but there is little evidence that it has been getting worse in the UK in the past decade.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Now the leftovers are all curry and the tree is at the tip, it's time to digest the news from the retail sector over just how merry a Christmas it really was.\n\nAnd it seems that just like Mr Scrooge, UK shoppers were persuaded to open their purses just a little wider this year.\n\nSo if you're one of those who splashed out on gin, indulged in a new jumper and pulled out all the stops for your festive feast, you are in good company.\n\nBut how and where was the festive cheer felt most? Here's our look at where the glass is half full and where half empty as we head into 2017.\n\nIt's not likely to be a dry January if you're running one of the UK's supermarkets. They have good news to toast this week.\n\nTesco and Morrisons, which have both had a difficult few years, have reported stronger sales. Tesco said fresh food had been \"particularly popular, outperforming the market\", adding that there had been a 24% increase in party food sales over Christmas, while Morrisons reported its strongest Christmas sales for seven years.\n\nEven Sainsbury's, which saw a meagre 0.1% overall rise in sales, managed to beat analyst expectations of a 0.8% fall.\n\nDiscounters Lidl and Aldi don't report their figures in quite the same way - they do not give like-for-like sales, which strip out the effect of new store openings and are therefore a better comparison - but both reported double-digit increases in Christmas sales, reflecting brisk business.\n\nIt looks like we collectively loosened our belts at just the right time for the big food retailers. \"I guess the biggest impression so far is that food retailers did better than non-food in December,\" says independent retail analyst Nick Bubb.\n\nAccording to Kantar Worldpanel we spent almost half a billion pounds more in the final 12 weeks of 2016 compared with the year before (so no wonder we're still ploughing through the chocolate biscuits and checking out stilton soup recipes).\n\nBut putting it into context, a lot of the good results now are set against a backdrop of pretty weak performances the previous year.\n\nIf you look at the grocery sector in 2015, Tesco and Morrisons were both implementing turnaround plans, while Sainsbury's and Asda also faced sales challenges.\n\n\"Overall, food had an ok end of the year and traded ok over the course of the year but that was against very low comparitors,\" says Paul Martin, UK head of retail at KPMG.\n\nIt wasn't just the food stores that have given the market cause for cheer.\n\nHigh Street stalwart Marks and Spencer finally shrugged off a decline in clothing sales\n\nEarly in the month Next had everyone spooked as it reported a drop in sales in the run-up to Christmas, but plenty of other clothing retailers have reported strong results.\n\nM&S surprised the market with sales in its clothing and homeware division up 2.3% - well above expectations for about 0.5% - while John Lewis, Debenhams, Ted Baker and online retailers Boohoo.com and Asos also reported sales growth.\n\nStrong festive periods were also seen at Primark, JD Sports and Superdry owner Supergroup, which saw like-for-like sales up 15% over the Christmas period.\n\nNext said it was preparing for \"tougher times\" in the year ahead\n\n\"The biggest loser is obviously Next so far. They've had a bit of a shocker,\" says Patrick O'Brien from Verdict Retail. Next saw sales of full-price items fall 0.4% and warned of a \"challenging\" 2017.\n\n\"Next [used to be] way ahead of the others with its online operation. But competitors have now caught up with that in terms of online and collection, with really high growth in online specialists like Boohoo,\" he says.\n\nBut apart from that the really surprising thing is how few bad results there have been. Partly that is because they started from a low base after the poor sales of 2015, and partly because British consumers simply held their nerve.\n\n\"Consumers have understood that prices are going up and it's been a good time to buy,\" says Mr O'Brien.\n\nPaul Martin, head of UK retail at KPMG, adds: \"The British defied the mood music out there and wanted to go out and treat themselves and celebrate Christmas. That's the most surprising thing in a world where negative news is easier to come by than positive.\"\n\nJohn Lewis has warned of a \"challenging\" outlook and said that its staff bonus will be \"significantly lower\" this year\n\nBut if 2016 ended on a positive note, Paul Martin says retail is moving into a \"perfect storm\" in 2017.\n\nHe warns that around April to July the hedging positions retailers took against currency fluctuations will begin to run out and the full force of the pound's devaluation since the Brexit vote will start to be felt through higher prices for imported goods.\n\nMultinationals will flex their muscles a little more over pricing imported goods for the UK market. And costs will be rising as business rates are revalued and the minimum wage rises.\n\nInevitably, he says, retailers will have to look at what kind of price rises their customers can bear. \"We think it will be 5% to 8%. But that can vary substantially across sectors - you will find some cases where it will be 50%,\" he warns.\n\nIn addition to Next, other retailers including John Lewis and Sainsbury's have warned about the uncertain impact of a weaker pound.\n\nWhile others have warned of price hikes, Ted Baker has said it will not raise prices this year\n\nThe boss of fashion chain Ted Baker has vowed, however, that \"there won't be any price increases this year\".\n\nChief executive Ray Kelvin told the Press Association: \"We were hedged for two years and we have one year left on that. We're a public company, we don't gamble with things like this, plus we also have a big dollar income.\"\n\nThe consensus though, is that consumer spending will be squeezed this year, and Rachel Lund, head of retail insight and analytics at the British Retail Consortium, says that will make it harder for retailers to generate growth.\n\nShe also points to the uncertainty around what trading relationship the UK will have with the rest of the world once it leaves the EU.\n\n\"An announcement about that that doesn't seem favourable could have an impact on confidence,\" she says. But she adds that the mood among retailers is \"not one of doom and gloom, it's caution\".", "This video can not be played\n\nTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "A couple who met at a factory making Lancaster bombers in World War Two are celebrating their 73rd wedding anniversary.\n\nTrudy, 97, and Barclay Patoir, 96, who was an apprentice engineer in British Guiana, met when he was put to work at a factory in Speke, Merseyside.\n\nTrudy was his assistant on the production line.\n\nDespite opposition to the union, they married and moved to a new house on an estate in Wythenshawe, Manchester, where they have been ever since.\n\nThey have two daughters, three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.", "Former England and Watford manager Graham Taylor has died aged 72.

This is Titian's interpretation.\n\nThe gospels depict Mary Magdalene as one of Jesus' closest companions. Her emotional encounter with the risen Jesus and her supposed sinful past have fascinated Christians for centuries.\n\nThe latest of many films about her is released shortly. Its heroine, played by Rooney Mara, is billed as a young woman who joins \"a radical new social movement\" and \"must confront the reality of Jesus' destiny and her own place within it\".\n\nThere was amusement when cast members were pictured in ancient garb smoking on set.\n\nMeanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church has enhanced the saint's status. Last year her Saint's Day (22 July) was promoted to a Feast, equal to those of most of the male Disciples.\n\nExplaining the decision, Archbishop Arthur Roche pointed out that she had long been known as \"apostle to the apostles, as she announces to the apostles what they in turn will announce to all the world.\"\n\nA bizarre tradition in depictions of Mary Magdalene shows her naked, but clothed with her long red hair. Terracotta by Andrea Della Robbia of about 1590\n\nThis refers to John 20:17, in which Jesus sends her to the disciples to tell them he would ascend to God - \"apostolos\" in Greek means \"one who is sent\".\n\nThe Vatican press office said that 22 July would be \"a feast, like that of the other apostles.\" A special prayer for use at Mass on that day says Jesus honoured her with the task of an apostle (apostolatus officio),\n\nThis has coincided with what some believe are signs of a change in Rome's attitude on the possibility of women priests.\n\nThe announcement on Mary Magdalene, and the setting up of a commission to discuss the ordination of women as deacons - not priests, but able to preside at weddings, christenings and funerals is an indication to some of change.\n\nTina Beattie, Professor of Catholic Studies at the University of Roehampton, says: \"I accept that it has to be slow, it has to be sensitively done... But my own feeling is that something is happening\".\n\nWhat was said about the feast day was encouraging, says Pippa Bonner of the campaign group Catholic Women's Ordination. \"As soon as we spotted that we shared that news around - I think that's a very, very positive step.\"\n\nPope Francis met Sweden's female archbishop, Antje Jackelen. But on his journey home he said Catholic policy forbidding women priests had not changed.\n\nIn 1994 Pope John Paul II declared \"that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.\" Jesus had \"called only men as his Apostles\", The constant practice of the Church, he stressed, \"has imitated Christ in choosing only men.\"\n\nIn November, while returning from a visit to Sweden where he worshipped with the country's female Lutheran archbishop, Antje Jackelen, Pope Francis was asked if his Church still ruled out women priests.\n\n\"Saint Pope John Paul II had the last clear word on this and it stands,\" he said.\n\nAsked again if the ban was permanent, he responded: \"If we read carefully the declaration by St. John Paul II, it is going in that direction.\"\n\nProf Beattie comments: \"Whenever he's asked to give a reason he always references John Paul II... I'm not aware of him saying that under his own Papal authority.\"\n\nPaloma Baeza played Mary Magdalene in The Passion, shown on BBC1 in 2008.\n\nThe idea that statements about Mary Magdalene and her \"apostleship\" contradict the rulings of John Paul II is discounted by many Catholic commentators.\n\n\"Many Catholics from the Anglican tradition will rejoice at her commemoration being raised to the dignity of a Feast, while thinking that the idea that this has any relevance to the closed question of women's ordination is entirely fanciful,\" says Fr Simon Chinery, spokesman for the Ordinariate set up by Pope Benedict as a home within the Catholic Church for Anglicans opposed to women bishops.\n\nThe idea of Mary Magdalene as a great sinner led to celebration of her as a great penitent, as in this haggard sculpture by Donatello (about 1455).\n\nAusten Ivereigh, co-founder of the group Catholic Voices, says: \"Declaring her day a Feast reflects a growing awareness that the role of women in the early Church was an important one, and needs to be recovered.\n\n\"But opening church leadership to women's unique gifts does not equate to opening the priesthood to women - at least that argument is not being made in any significant way in the Church at the moment,\"\n\nArguments against women's ordination in the Church of England were ultimately unsuccessful.\n\nBut of course the Catholic Church is very different. In the CofE the argument over women's ordination went on for decades. But it was possible to say where it had got to by referring to the state of discussions in the General Synod. It could not have been stopped for good by a ruling like that of Pope John Paul.\n\nOf all the hundreds of churches named after Mary Magdalene, the grandest is perhaps La Madeleine in Paris. Marochetti's statue on the high altar shows angels lifting her to heaven..\n\nA change in doctrine can come as news to Catholics. And it can happen suddenly.\n\nThat was the case with Mary Magdalene herself. In the late 6th Century AD Pope Gregory I declared that she was also the woman in Luke 7:37 who \"lived a sinful life\", who washed Jesus's feet and dried them with her hair.\n\nThis fuelled the tradition that Mary Magdalene was not only a sinner (which Christianity says we all are) but a particularly colourful one, and inspired dozens of artistic portrayals of her ranging from ravaged penitent to borderline erotic.\n\nBut the revised Roman Calendar of 1969 simply declared that 22 July was indeed the day of Mary Magdalene, but she was not the woman in Luke 7:37. And that, after nearly 1,400 years. was that.\n\nIs she, as the Anglican Rev Giles Fraser claims some see her, \"the standard bearer for women's developing role in the Catholic church, and even... for women's ordination\"?\n\nThe Church can hardly show it is moved by the late unofficial gospels - one of which talks of Jesus repeatedly kissing Mary Magdalene,; the recent crop of stories claiming she was actually married to Jesus; or the Rooney Mara film. And Pope Gregory's claims about her sinful life may be discredited.

The BBC's Paul Wood saw the allegations before the election, and reports on the fallout now they have come to light.\n\nThe significance of these allegations is that, if true, the president-elect of the United States would be vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.\n\nI understand the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat - or compromising material - on the next US commander in chief. At the same time a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign.\n\nClaims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent, understood to be Christopher Steele.\n\nAs a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK's embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.\n\nThey told him that Mr Trump had been filmed with a group of prostitutes in the presidential suite of Moscow's Ritz-Carlton hotel. I know this because the Washington political research company that commissioned his report showed it to me during the final week of the election campaign.\n\nThe BBC decided not to use it then, for the very good reason that without seeing the tape - if it exists - we could not know if the claims were true. The detail of the allegations were certainly lurid. The entire series of reports has now been posted by BuzzFeed.\n\nMr Trump's supporters say this is a politically motivated attack.\n\nThe president-elect himself, outraged, tweeted this morning: \"Are we living in Nazi Germany?\"\n\nLater, at his much-awaited news conference, he was unrestrained.\n\n\"A thing like that should have never been written,\" he said, \"and certainly should never have been released.\"\n\nHe said the memo was written by \"sick people [who] put that crap together\".\n\nThe opposition research firm that commissioned the report had worked first for an anti-Trump superpac - political action committee - during the Republican primaries.\n\nThen during the general election, it was funded by an anonymous Democratic Party supporter. But these are not political hacks - their usual line of work is country analysis and commercial risk assessment, similar to the former MI6 agent's consultancy. He, apparently, gave his dossier to the FBI against the firm's advice.\n\nMr Trump was in Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant (pictured)\n\nAnd the former MI6 agent is not the only source for the claim about Russian kompromat on the president-elect. Back in August, a retired spy told me he had been informed of its existence by \"the head of an East European intelligence agency\".\n\nLater, I used an intermediary to pass some questions to active duty CIA officers dealing with the case file - they would not speak to me directly. I got a message back that there was \"more than one tape\", \"audio and video\", on \"more than one date\", in \"more than one place\" - in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and also in St Petersburg - and that the material was \"of a sexual nature\".\n\nThe claims of Russian kompromat on Mr Trump were \"credible\", the CIA believed. That is why - according to the New York Times and Washington Post - these claims ended up on President Barack Obama's desk last week, a briefing document also given to Congressional leaders and to Mr Trump himself.\n\nMr Trump did visit Moscow in November 2013, the date the main tape is supposed to have been made. There is TV footage of him at the Miss Universe contest. Any visitor to a grand hotel in Moscow would be wise to assume that their room comes equipped with hidden cameras and microphones as well as a mini-bar.\n\nAt his news conference, Mr Trump said he warned his staff when they travelled: \"Be very careful, because in your hotel rooms and no matter where you go you're going to probably have cameras.\" So the Russian security services have made obtaining kompromat an art form.\n\nEven President Vladimir Putin says there is \"kompromat\" on him - though perhaps he is joking\n\nOne Russian specialist told me that Vladimir Putin himself sometimes says there is kompromat on him - though perhaps he is joking. The specialist went on to tell me that FSB officers are prone to boasting about having tapes on public figures, and to be careful of any statements they might make.\n\nA former CIA officer told me he had spoken by phone to a serving FSB officer who talked about the tapes. He concluded: \"It's hokey as hell.\"\n\nMr Trump and his supporters are right to point out that these are unsubstantiated allegations.\n\nBut it is not just sex, it is money too. The former MI6 agent's report detailed alleged attempts by the Kremlin to offer Mr Trump lucrative \"sweetheart deals\" in Russia that would buy his loyalty.\n\nMr Trump turned these down, and indeed has done little real business in Russia. But a joint intelligence and law enforcement taskforce has been looking at allegations that the Kremlin paid money to his campaign through his associates.\n\nOn 15 October, the US secret intelligence court issued a warrant to investigate two Russian banks. This news was given to me by several sources and corroborated by someone I will identify only as a senior member of the US intelligence community. He would never volunteer anything - giving up classified information would be illegal - but he would confirm or deny what I had heard from other sources.\n\nMr Trump says Moscow has \"never tried to use leverage on me\"\n\n\"I'm going to write a story that says…\" I would say. \"I don't have a problem with that,\" he would reply, if my information was accurate. He confirmed the sequence of events below.\n\nLast April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.\n\nIt was passed to the US by an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter-intelligence taskforce was created.\n\nThe taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice. For the foreign and intelligence aspects of the investigation, there were another three agencies: the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Agency, responsible for electronic spying.\n\nLawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the Fisa court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.\n\nTheir first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.\n\nHarry Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, pictured, accused the FBI of holding back information\n\nNeither Mr Trump nor his associates are named in the Fisa order, which would only cover foreign citizens or foreign entities - in this case the Russian banks. But ultimately, the investigation is looking for transfers of money from Russia to the United States, each one, if proved, a felony offence.\n\nA lawyer- outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case - told me that three of Mr Trump's associates were the subject of the inquiry. \"But it's clear this is about Trump,\" he said.\n\nI spoke to all three of those identified by this source. All of them emphatically denied any wrongdoing. \"Hogwash,\" said one. \"Bullshit,\" said another. Of the two Russian banks, one denied any wrongdoing, while the other did not respond to a request for comment.\n\nThe investigation was active going into the election. During that period, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Harry Reid, wrote to the director of the FBI, accusing him of holding back \"explosive information\" about Mr Trump.\n\nMr Reid sent his letter after getting an intelligence briefing, along with other senior figures in Congress. Only eight people were present: the chairs and ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, and the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in Congress, the \"gang of eight\" as they are sometimes called. Normally, senior staff attend \"gang of eight\" intelligence briefings, but not this time. The Congressional leaders were not even allowed to take notes.\n\nIn the letter to the FBI director, James Comey, Mr Reid said: \"In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and co-ordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Mr Trump praises at every opportunity.\n\n\"The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.\"\n\nThe CIA, FBI, Justice and Treasury all refused to comment when I approached them after hearing about the Fisa warrant.\n\nIt is not clear what will happen to the inter-agency investigation under President Trump - or even if the taskforce is continuing its work now. The Russians have denied any attempt to influence the president-elect - with either money or a blackmail tape.\n\nHillary Clinton referred to Mr Trump as Mr Putin's \"puppet\" during the debates\n\nIf a tape exists, the Russians would hardly give it up, though some hope to encourage a disloyal FSB officer who might want to make some serious money. Before the election, Larry Flynt, publisher of the pornographic magazine Hustler, put up a million dollars for incriminating tape of Mr Trump. Penthouse has now followed with its own offer of a million dollars for the Ritz-Carlton tape (if it exists).\n\nIt is an extraordinary situation, 10 days before Mr Trump is sworn into office, but it was foreshadowed during the campaign.\n\nDuring the final presidential debate, Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump a \"puppet\" of Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin. \"No puppet. No puppet,\" Mr Trump interjected, talking over Mrs Clinton. \"You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet.\"\n\nIn a New York Times op-ed in August, the former director of the CIA, Michael Morell, wrote: \"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr Putin had recruited Mr Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.\"\n\nAgent; puppet - both terms imply some measure of influence or control by Moscow.\n\nMichael Hayden, former head of both the CIA and the NSA, simply called Mr Trump a \"polezni durak\" - a useful fool.\n\nThe background to those statements was information held - at the time - within the intelligence community. Now all Americans have heard the claims. Little more than a week before his inauguration, they will have to decide if their president-elect really was being blackmailed by Moscow.\n\nClarification: 11 January - This article was amended to make clear that the opposition research firm which commissioned the report had first worked for an anti-Trump political action committee.", "Pictures of a defiant Donald Trump holding forth during his news conference on Wednesday feature on many front pages.\n\nIt was, says the Guardian, a combative performance as Mr Trump unleashed a firestorm of invective against news organisations and US intelligence agencies.\n\nThe Financial Times claims his stance escalates an already tense relationship with an intelligence leadership that believes his election was abetted by a foreign power, Russia.\n\nThe Times, the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror all lead on reports that a former MI6 agent who was based in Russia has gone into hiding after being named as the person behind the dossier of lurid claims about the president-elect. They say Christopher Steele is \"terrified for his safety\", fearing retribution from Moscow.\n\n\"Oh to be a sketchwriter in America\" - declares Quentin Letts in the Mail. \"Mr Trump is a politician, Jim, but not as we know it,\" he writes. \"He doesn't do wriggling and lawyerly evasions. He doesn't do dainty detours or (ridiculous thought) charm. He just comes out and smashes his critics on the nose.\"\n\nSeveral papers highlight what they see as a rift between Theresa May and the head of the NHS in England, Simon Stevens, over funding for the health service and social care.\n\nThe Sun speaks of \"open war with Number 10\" after Mr Stevens fired off what it calls \"a series of barbs\" at the prime minister when he appeared before MPs. The paper calls it an \"unhealthy spat which helps no-one\" - the last thing we need, it says, is the distraction of a row as those at the top pass the buck.\n\nThe Daily Telegraph calls for the politics to be taken out of NHS funding; it argues that there must be a willingness to consider alternative ways of bringing money into the system without it being denounced as \"privatising\" the service.\n\nThe Telegraph reports that Lady Thatcher has taken her place in the pantheon of British greats, in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.\n\nIt says the former prime minister's life story attracts the third longest entry - with more space devoted to her than Sir Winston Churchill. Only Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I are given a higher word count.\n\nAccording to the Daily Express, the biography - written by the historian Sir David Cannadine - concludes that: \"There are times when nations may need rough treatment. And for good and for ill, Thatcher gave Britain plenty of it.\"\n\nHenry VIII was well known for his lavish banquets, but now - says the Mirror - it has been revealed just how much he forked out on food and drink.\n\nThe paper reports that his annual bill for meat alone came to £3.5m in today's money - all washed down with £6m worth of beer.", "Donald Trump has criticised the decision to publish the dossier\n\nWas Buzzfeed right to publish the Trump dossier?\n\nThat comes down to editorial judgement, which is to news what eggs are to an omelette - the essential ingredient.\n\nThat said, I opened this post with a question which I will not answer - partly because I work for the BBC and it is not my place to pass judgement on other news organisations' editorial calls and partly because those editorial calls are subjective.\n\nBut as BBC media editor, and as a former editor of The Independent who had to make thousands of these calls, often against tight deadlines and under great pressure from the subjects of our stories, I want to explore some of the considerations that we editors have to make.\n\nHopefully that will illuminate the hugely controversial decision made this week by Buzzfeed.\n\nEditorial judgement is ultimately a moral activity. It is an exercise in selection - which stories, facts, claims, pictures, words, ideas to publish, and which to leave out - that relies on several smaller judgements.\n\nThese include: the importance you attach to veracity; your own political persuasion; a sense of your audience's interest and - outside the BBC and unfortunately more common now the news business model is under such strain - a consideration of the commercial implications of publishing particular things.\n\nThe rectitude of all moral activity or actions - editorial judgement included - can be analysed along three criteria:\n\nLet's look at Buzzfeed's decision to publish the dossier in terms of intentions and consequences.\n\nSome people will argue that - whether you agree with it or not - there is a coherent case for putting information in the public domain even if you are not 100% certain it is true.\n\nBen Smith, the editor-in-chief, has spoken eloquently about how, in our digital era, publishers are no longer gatekeepers of information who demand to be trusted, arguing that Buzzfeed is simply a distributor.\n\nHis second argument is that because this publication was being circulated widely among government officials, it had tremendous news value and therefore it was in the public interest to put it in the public domain with plenty of caveats so readers could make up their own minds.\n\nI know from personal experience that, if you are a digital publisher whose content is free, you mainly make money from advertising, which is related to traffic and which you are under immense pressure to generate.\n\nThis ultimately commercial imperative can - and does - influence the editorial judgement of many publishers.\n\nBut let us be charitable to Buzzfeed and say that commercial considerations did not influence this editorial decision.\n\nBuzzfeed has a young audience and often publishes journalism associated with the political Left, unlike Trump whose most stable constituency is older voters on the Right.\n\nIt is reasonable to conclude that one reason Buzzfeed published this dossier about Mr Trump is that it calculated it could harm someone it does not like.\n\nSo Buzzfeed, having put traffic considerations aside, and being antithetical to some of the things Mr Trump stands for, calculated that the document, which had potentially huge implications for the incoming president, deserved to be seen in its entirety by readers who want access to information.\n\nThat covers the intentions, but what of the consequences?\n\nHuge traffic for this article must have been one consequence. Another is that Buzzfeed, as a powerful international brand, is now clearly associated with a willingness to publish information it knows could be false.\n\nAnother consequence is of course that the information contained in the dossier, some of it untrue, much of it not corroborated, is now in the public domain we call cyberspace. Perhaps citizens across the globe are digesting it to better understand the incoming president.\n\nFinally, life has been made harder for other news organisations, such as CNN, who Trump targeted in his remarkable press conference.\n\nThey have now been conflated with Buzzfeed under Trump's pernicious umbrella term \"fake news\".\n\nBuzzfeed could reasonably say it is not its job to secure access to Mr Trump for CNN - and in any case the president-elect was not exactly friendly with the mainstream media before the dossier's publication.\n\nIt will be for editors and citizens everywhere to decide, in balancing Buzzfeed's intentions with the (largely foreseeable) consequences, whether it made a correct editorial judgement.\n\nThat in turn depends on your moral position - your commitment to truth and so on.\n\nWhat really interests me is that Mr Smith is saying that the digital revolution has redefined journalism, creating publishers who are prepared to put lots of information into the public domain without verifying it.\n\nJulian Assange's Wikileaks has put huge amounts of information into the public domain\n\nThere is a difference, however, between Wikileaks, who do that sort of thing, and what most journalists understand their role to be: corroborating information before making selections as to what should be published.\n\nIn a sense, Mr Smith's position is an argument against journalism, in that being gatekeepers who curate and edit the world is precisely what many hacks believe their role to be.\n\nJust as traditional media included many different types of publisher - tabloids v broadsheets, for example - so new, digital media include those who exhaustively check their facts and proceed with caution and those who are prepared to publish unverified allegations because they think the public should know.\n\nThe BBC is in the former camp, as my colleague Paul Wood argued in his excellent blog.\n\nWe work very hard to verify claims before publishing them: so much so that there are always big stories we know about that we cannot use, because we haven't got sufficiently solid sourcing. Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has talked about this - and I can certainly relate to it.\n\nTogether with Mr Trump, this controversy helps to illuminate how fast the media is changing - and how it affects all our lives.", "Gary Lineker speaks to former-Barcelona teammate Mark Hughes about their time playing for the Catalan giants.\n\nWatch the full interview on The Premier League Show, Thursday 10:00 GMT, BBC Two.", "The winning bidder is promised \"delicious conversation and great food\"\n\nLuther actor Idris Elba has put himself up for auction as a Valentine's date to raise money for charity.\n\nIn an online video, he offers bidders a \"romantic evening\" involving cocktails, food and \"whatever your heart desires\".\n\n\"I'll let you pound my yams,\" the 44-year-old star continues before downing a glass of champagne.\n\nProceeds will go to WE (Women Everywhere) Can Lead, a charity organisation \"working to empower and educate girls throughout Africa\".\n\nThe winner will join Elba for \"a candlelit meal at one of his favourite restaurants\".\n\nFlights and accommodation at a four-star hotel are included, according to the actor's page on the Omaze website.\n\nInterested parties have until 14 February to make a bid.\n\nElba also voiced Shere Khan in last year's hugely successful Jungle Book film as well as producing and starring in Beasts of No Nation (2015).\n\nHe is also set to star in The Dark Tower later this year, a fantasy western horror film based on a series of Stephen King novels.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

He will be much missed by us all at Wembley and St George's Park.\"\n\nMatch of the Day host and former England international Gary Lineker said Taylor was \"an outstanding manager, lover of football and thoroughly decent man\".\n\nHe added: \"He made me his England captain and I will be eternally grateful to him for giving me that honour.\"\n\nFormer England striker Alan Shearer, who made his international debut under Taylor in 1992, said he was \"completely shocked\" by the news of Taylor's death, adding he \"held him in the very highest regard\".\n\nPremier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said: \"You will struggle to find a more decent individual in football, one who cared passionately about all levels and aspects of the English game.\"\n\nHoward Wilkinson, chairman of the League Managers' Association - of which Taylor was the first president, paid tribute to his \"lifelong friend\".\n\n\"I greatly admired Graham for his honesty, tenacity, professionalism and his capacity for innovation, which earned him richly deserved success,\" he said.\n\n\"Football has lost one of its greatest servants and our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Rita, his daughters Joanne and Karen, and the rest of his family.\"\n\nBurnley manager Sean Dyche, who was given his first managerial job by then Watford chairman Taylor, said: \"For such a legend at Watford to be helping you have that chance, and helping me along the way as a young manager, I'm absolutely devastated.\"\n\nFormer England midfielder Paul Gascoigne said Taylor's \"enthusiasm for life and football was incredible\".\n\nProfessional Footballers' Association chairman Gordon Taylor said he had known Graham Taylor since they were both aged 15 at England schoolboy trials.\n\n\"He was a real quality human being. He cared about his fellow pros and the good of the game. He should be remembered as a man who added to the game, who really showed his ability as a manager,\" he said.\n\n\"I'm proud and privileged to have been able to call him a friend.\"", "Graham Taylor will be remembered by many for his unfulfilling spell in charge of England - but by plenty more as an outstanding club manager at Watford and Aston Villa and one of the nicest, most genuine men in the game.\n\nThe reaction to Taylor's death on Thursday at the age of 72, and the affection expressed for him, was the true measure of his standing inside and outside football.\n\nBorn in Worksop in Nottinghamshire, Taylor was the son of a journalist and rose to prominence in the game as a manager after retiring as a player with Lincoln City in 1972. He became manager and coach at the club, winning the Fourth Division title with them before moving to Watford in 1977.\n\nIt was here, in tandem with his chairman Sir Elton John, that he produced arguably his finest work, taking the club from the Fourth Division to the top flight in the space of five exhilarating years.\n• None Listen again to a 5 live special: Tributes to Graham Taylor\n\nTaylor nurtured Watford legends such as Luther Blissett and John Barnes, remarkably finishing second behind Liverpool in their first season at that elite level and reaching the FA Cup final in 1984, where they lost 2-0 to Everton.\n\nNot so long ago he joked with me, with his usual broad smile: \"You know I have never watched any of that game from that day to this - but I don't need to see it again to know that second goal from Andy Gray was a bloody foul on our goalkeeper Steve Sherwood.\"\n\nTaylor's unlikely partnership with the flamboyant rock star worked against the odds, the manager's down-to-earth approach dovetailing with his chairman's lavish lifestyle. They remained friends for life, as demonstrated by Sir Elton's heartfelt tribute.\n\nOn trips abroad when he worked as a BBC Sport pundit, Taylor would gladly tell stories of that partnership, always with a laugh and underlining the genuine affection they shared.\n\nTaylor's brilliance inevitably attracted attention from elsewhere and, perhaps feeling he had achieved all he could at Vicarage Road, he left for Aston Villa in May 1987.\n\nVilla were in reduced circumstances having been relegated to the second flight. Taylor soon put that right by winning promotion in his first season - and, not content with that, rebuilt the club with such success and shrewd management that he took them to second place behind Liverpool in 1990.\n\nTaylor's methods were tried and trusted and yet he often received criticism for what his detractors perceived as \"long ball\" football. He, with much justification, pointed out his willingness to use wingers and flair players such as Barnes and the young Mo Johnston, whom he brought to England from Partick Thistle.\n\nEngland inevitably looked in Taylor's direction after Sir Bobby Robson left following the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where his side lost to West Germany on penalties in the semi-final.\n\nThis was, without doubt, the darkest and most frustrating period of Taylor's career and is one of the reasons his other work has been so criminally underrated over the years.\n\nTaylor took over at a tough time after the loss of England mainstays such as goalkeeper Peter Shilton and past captains such as Terry Butcher and Bryan Robson. He gave players like Alan Shearer and Martin Keown their first England caps - but he drew criticism for selecting players many simply felt were not international class, such as Carlton Palmer.\n\nEngland reached Euro 92 in Sweden under Taylor but produced a series of disappointing performances, going out at the group stage after losing 2-1 to Sweden in Stockholm.\n\nTaylor courted controversy and criticism in that decisive game by substituting England captain and main marksman Gary Lineker for Arsenal striker Alan Smith with a goal still needed - it never arrived and Lineker never played for England again. The manager was vilified and lampooned as a \"turnip\" in the Sun newspaper.\n\nThe campaign to qualify for the World Cup in the United States in 1994 also ended in failure, and was brutally chronicled in the fly-on-the-wall documentary 'The Impossible Job', which gave an intimate insight into the pressures Taylor was under.\n\nThose struggles were illustrated starkly in the game that effectively sealed his fate, the 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in Rotterdam.\n\nHe may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game\n\nThe tortured Taylor is seen on the sidelines pleading with officials after Ronald Koeman somehow escaped a red card for a foul on England's David Platt, only to be reprieved and score the brilliant free-kick that sent the Dutch on the way to victory.\n\nHe resigned the following month and stayed out of the game until returning at Wolves in March 1994. During his spell in charge he took them into the second-tier play-offs in 1994-95, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers.\n\nTaylor left in November 1995 before returning to revisit old glories. Sir Elton John was back at the helm at Watford so it was no surprise when he turned to Taylor to come back to Vicarage Road as general manager in February 1996.\n\nIt was once more the perfect fit and he was back as manager a year later, winning the third-tier title in 1998 before putting Watford in the Premier League at the end of the following season after a play-off final victory over Bolton.\n\nWatford, despite an early win at Liverpool, were relegated and the following season Taylor decided to retire - only to change his mind and make a comeback at Villa in February 2002. He retired for a second and final time after they struggled the following season.\n\nIt was the end of one chapter and the start of another as Taylor became a respected pundit on BBC Radio 5 live, a role he performed with total assurance and perception.\n\nTaylor was part of the radio team that covered England. It was a sign of the esteem in which he was held by fans as well as players that whenever he encountered supporters abroad, he was treated with complete respect.\n\nThere was barely a reference from England followers to any of his struggles in charge of the national team. To them, Taylor was a true gentleman, to be given his due not just for his work but for his warm personality and willingness to discuss football matters with anyone he met.\n\nHe may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game.\n• None Archive: Media treated me like dirt after England - Taylor\n• None Archive: Taylor told me to stick to cricket - Botham\n\nAs a BBC Sport colleague, Taylor was unfailingly co-operative and the consummate professional, willing to take a call at any time, even when he was meant to be spending time with his beloved wife Rita.\n\nAnd as well as a fount of knowledge and a man with strong opinions, Taylor was also an endless source of entertainment and stories, just as happy to poke fun at himself as everyone else.\n\nGraham Taylor was a top-class manager at club level and a true gentleman inside and outside of football. He will be greatly missed and perhaps now his work in management, viewed through the prism of this sad news, will finally get the credit it fully deserves.", "This video can not be played.", "Last updated on .From the section Cricket\n\nEngland captain Alastair Cook will meet director of cricket Andrew Strauss on Friday, but no decision on his role as skipper is expected to be made.\n\nThe 32-year-old admitted to having \"questions\" over his position during the 4-0 series defeat in India.\n\nCook and Strauss regularly meet to review each series that England play.\n\nWith England not due to play a Test until July, Cook will be given time, with no decision likely before the end of the limited-overs series in India.\n• None Read more: Stay or go?

Wade Supreme Court decision legalising abortion across the US, the nominee stood by his view that the case was a colossal mistake.\n\nHe noted, however, that the decision was the \"law of the land\" and that he will \"respect and follow it\" - a line he also used regarding the recent court decision to legalise same-sex marriage.\n\nMr Sessions later said that he would enforce laws guaranteeing access to abortion clinics and prohibiting protesters from disrupting their operation.\n\nAbortion opponents have been focused less on overturning the Roe decision in recent years, however, instead opting for limiting when and where women can obtain abortions. On that topic, Mr Sessions was much more opaque.\n\nMr Sessions, when asked about Mr Trump's past support for temporarily closing the US border to all Muslims, said neither he nor the president-elect currently backed such a policy.\n\nInstead, he said, the incoming administration's plan was to subject individuals from countries with ties to terrorism to \"strong vetting\".

He called it \"intrusive\".\n\nThe practice of waterboarding detainees, according to Mr Sessions on Tuesday, is \"absolutely improper and illegal\".\n\nThat represents a bit of a departure for the Alabama senator, who voted against the 2015 law making it illegal, and runs contrary to Mr Trump's campaign position that he backed measures \"a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding\".\n\nAs for the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the attorney general nominee was on the same page as the president-elect.\n\n\"It's a safe place to keep prisoners,\" he said. \"I believe it should be utilised in that fashion and have opposed the closing of it.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

He wouldn't rule out increased enforcement of federal drug laws in states that have decriminalised marijuana and suggested he might restart a task-force charged with prosecuting violations of anti-obscenity laws.\n\nMr Sessions also made clear that he did not support the \"prosecutorial discretion\" that the Obama administration used to suspend the deportation of some groups of undocumented migrants, such as those who entered the US as children.\n\nWhile he didn't directly call for reversing Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration, he said it was of \"very questionable\" constitutionality and that his Justice Department wouldn't object to reversing it.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nFormer Brazilian footballer Wendell Lira will never forget the day he beat Lionel Messi.\n\nIt was a split second in front of the goalkeeper in a match in Brazil's lower league that changed Lira's life forever.\n\nOnly 342 people were in the stadium that night for Goianesia v Atletico Goianiense, but Lira's superb goal captured on video travelled the world and became a hit, winning 2015's Fifa Puskas Award for the most beautiful goal scored in 2015.\n\nLira was soon hired by a bigger football club and his career seemed on the rise.\n\nBut in a turn of events he decided to retire from the sport at the age of 27, and is now playing video games instead.\n\nEven more surprisingly, he is making more money as an e-athlete than he ever did as a real footballer.\n\n\"I always dreamed of making a living as a video game player, but I never thought it would come true.

This was just an investment in receiving the monthly cash flows from people's service subscriptions.\"\n\nIf you want to be handed a freebie on the street, it certainly helps to live in a country's capital or largest city.\n\nLipton said it wanted to create a \"clearly different brand experience\"\n\nThis is not simply because of the larger population, but because a country's main conurbation is more often the trendsetter for retail purchases.\n\nSo in the UK new products or new promotional campaigns are invariably launched in London, in the US it is New York, while in France it is Paris, and so on.\n\nThe hope is that the young and fashionable of the big city will try the item, like it, and then talk positively about it - preferably on social media in this day and age.\n\nIf all goes to plan this will kick start increased sales across the country as a whole.\n\nConsumer goods giant Unilever went for this approach last year when it sought to increase UK sales of its Lipton Ice Tea brand.\n\nLipton's Daybreakers campaign saw it give out free drinks at a number of breakfast events across London that included DJ sets and live music. Venues included Old Street in fashionable east London, and the Sky Garden venue at the top of the 34-floor 20 Fenchurch Street building, otherwise known as the \"walkie talkie\".\n\nA Lipton spokesman says: \"In order for people to look at Lipton Ice Tea in a new way, we needed to offer consumers a meaningful and relevant reason to try it.\n\nInnocent has targeted music festivals to give out free samples\n\n\"We therefore went down an early morning experimental road to cut through and create a clearly different brand experience.\"\n\nUK drinks firm Innocent is also in the habit of first giving out free samples in London, such as when it launched its coconut water product in 2015. This saw it hand out free samples at a pop-up bar in the trendy Shoreditch area.\n\nInnocent, which is majority owned by US giant Coca-Cola, has since gone on to offer free samples at UK music festivals Latitude and Wilderness, and at sporting events such as the Richmond marathon, in south west London. Last year it gave away more than 500,000 cartons.\n\nJames Peach, Innocent's coconut water brand manager, says: \"For [free] sampling to be effective it's important to be targeting the right type of consumer at the moment they would most likely want to use the product, so they get the most out of the experience, and understand the product's benefits.\n\n\"Generally people drink coconut water to naturally re-hydrate or rejuvenate themselves after exercise or after excess [if they are hungover]. So we simply try to target those occasions as much as we can, to be there when people need it most.\"\n\nWhile most consumers don't give freebies much thought, behavioural economist Enrico Trevisan says that from the perspective of the business there are three main types; \"future selling\", \"cross selling\" and \"up-selling\".\n\n\"In the future selling approach, firms give away a product for free, assuming that clients will like it and want to buy more in the future,\" he says.\n\nThe New York Times operates an up-selling free model\n\n\"With cross-selling, the company tries to gain new clients through an entrance product, with the intention of selling them additional products during their life cycle.\"\n\nMr Trevisan, who works for marketing consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners, says that an example of cross-selling is banks giving current accounts away for free in order to later sell the client loans, mortgages and overdrafts.\n\nFinally, he says that up-selling is when a firm gives away a basic version of the product, but then charges the client for more advanced and complete versions. He cites the examples of online news websites that only offer a limited number of free articles.\n\nHowever, Mr Trevisan cautions that while \"giving something for free to potential users is not necessarily complicated, to convert them into paying customers is a very different story\".", "The Greek air force has taken six people trapped in heavy snow on Skopelos in the Aegean Sea to the island's port.\n\nThe tourist island has been one of the hardest hit by the cold snap, leaving villages cut off and affecting power and water supplies.", "A polar bear has fun after historic amounts of snow fell in Oregon this week, closing the state's zoo.", "Last updated on .From the section Tennis\n\nThe BBC will continue to broadcast the Aegon Championships at The Queen's Club on TV, radio and online until 2024.\n\nThe news coincides with Andy Murray's decision to commit to playing at Queen's for the rest of his career.\n\n\"To know that Andy will play at The Queen's Club for the rest of his career and that the BBC will cover it every step of the way is a huge boost,\" said tournament director Stephen Farrow.\n\nI'm really happy to know that I will play at Queen's for as long as my career lasts\n\nMurray, 29, won at Queen's last year en route to becoming the world number one.\n\nHis victory in the 2016 final against Milos Raonic was watched by 3.7m on TV, with many more listening on Radio 5 live and following online on the BBC Sport website.\n\nBarbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, described the tournament as \"one of the most cherished events in the tennis calendar\".\n\n\"It's great that the BBC will continue to bring it to audiences across all platforms until 2024,\" she added.\n\n\"With a British tennis player as the current world number one, there's no better time for us to reinforce our commitment to the sport.\"\n\nMurray's record fifth Queen's title was just one chapter in a stellar 2016 for the Briton.\n\nHe followed it up weeks later by claiming his second Wimbledon title, while his second Olympic gold medal followed later in the summer.\n\nHe secured the year-end world number one ranking with victory at the ATP World Tour Finals before being named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year for a third time.\n\nHe was subsequently knighted in the the New Year Honours.\n\n\"I'm really happy to know that I will play at Queen's for as long as my career lasts,\" said Murray.\n\n\"My first ATP World Tour match-win came at Queen's in 2005, so for it to become by far the most successful tournament of my career is a great feeling.\n\n\"Looking at the names that have won the tournament four times, [they are] some of the best players ever.

Its executive chairman Richard Scudamore said Taylor's \"insight, wit and self-deprecating humour\" would be missed.\n\n\"You will struggle to find a more decent individual in football - one who cared passionately about all levels and aspects of the English game,\" he said.\n\nMeanwhile, Watford supporters have been laying tributes to Taylor outside their stadium, where a stand is named after their former manager, chairman and, more recently, honorary vice-president.\n\nAs a club manager, Taylor led Watford from the Fourth Division to runners-up in the old First Division in five years, and to the 1984 FA Cup final.\n\nHe took Aston Villa to second in the First Division, returning to Watford and Villa after his spell in charge of the national side, and also managing Wolves.\n\nWolves meet Aston Villa in a Championship game at Molineux on Saturday.\n\nTaylor became England boss in 1990 but resigned in 1993 after the team failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup.\n\nHe later became a respected pundit for BBC Sport.\n\nHe leaves behind his wife Rita and daughters Joanne and Karen.\n\nIn the aftermath of the news of Taylor's death, emotional tributes poured in from the football community.\n\nBBC Radio 5 live hosted a tribute show in Taylor's honour, in which his colleagues and peers spoke about the effect he had on their lives.\n\nFormer England captain Alan Shearer, who was given his national team debut by Taylor, said he held him in the \"highest, highest regard\".\n\n\"The biggest and best compliment I can give him is he was genuine, honest, passionate and down to earth,\" he said.\n\n\"Most of all, he just absolutely loved his football. He was so genuine, so honest and his passion for the game was just immense.\"\n\nBurnley manager Sean Dyche - whose first managerial position was at Watford, where Taylor offered him guidance, said he would be \"forever in his debt\".\n\n\"He had an extremely thick skin, and he showed that by defending me on the radio when I was a young manager as well. Things like that mean a lot,\" he said.\n\n\"To have that strength behind me when I was a young manager meant a lot.\"\n\nJohn Murray, a football commentator for 5 live who worked with him during his time as a pundit and summariser, said that Taylor was \"everything I had hoped before I met him\".\n\n\"He was steeped in football - he was brilliant at being interested in other people and would always want to talk about football,\" he said.\n\n\"I'd describe him as one of the football managers of our time. His club career was outstanding.\"\n\nFans have been paying tribute to Taylor too, with thousands of people using social media to share their stories of the former England manager:\n\nRobert Howard: I spent a train journey from Hemel Hempstead to Euston sitting talking to Graham. We spoke about football old and new. Kids, football and life in general. He was friendly, open and a very nice man. I am glad I met him.\n\nAlan Jones: I refereed a youth team match between Portsmouth and Watford. On the same afternoon, Watford's first team were due to play Bournemouth, so they stopped at Eastleigh to watch the youth match on their way there. Graham came into the dressing room afterwards and thanked me for the game, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He looked at the towel around my waist and asked me to get a new one, as he did not like orange. He was a very charming and supportive ambassador for football. RIP.\n\nDave Revell: Met Graham Taylor at a charity day for Kit Aid. Had so much time for people and was always so nice. One of England's better managers.\n\nWill Room: I remember seeing a clip of Taylor in the dugout during a match, and some fans behind him shouting out racial abuse to John Barnes and he went hell for leather against them - didn't hold back telling the fans to sit down and shut up basically. Back then it was probably normal for fans to think they could get away with stuff like that but Graham Taylor was definitely a decent man and respected everyone who played for him. Top bloke.\n\nTaylor started out as a player and, after coming through the youth ranks with Scunthorpe, was a defender at Grimsby and Lincoln.\n\nHe became manager at Lincoln in 1972 aged 28, and led them to the old Fourth Division title in 1975-76 before joining Watford.\n\nIn his first spell as Hornets boss between 1977 and 1987, Taylor took the club to the top flight and they finished second to Liverpool in 1983.\n\nHe was appointed by Villa in 1987 and, after leading them to promotion into the top tier, took them to second in 1990.\n\nHis exploits led to his appointment as England manager, but he had a turbulent spell in charge of the national team as they failed to make it out of the group at Euro 92 and did not qualify for the World Cup in the United States two years later.\n\nTaylor's return to club management came with a relatively brief stint at Wolves before he again took over at Watford, leading them to two promotions in as many years as he guided them back into English football's top flight.\n\nHe also returned to manage Villa in 2002 but retired a year later.\n\nHis association with Watford continued when he became chairman in 2009, a post he held for three years, and the club renamed their Rous Stand at Vicarage Road after Taylor in 2014.\n\n\"In this day and age, when a stand is named after somebody, it's for commercial reasons.

There's hardly any life around here now. If nuclear goes, this town will be dead.\"\n\nThe economy revolves around Sellafield, and job numbers are set to fall there as reprocessing work ends. A new nuclear power station is proposed.\n\nLabour backs new nuclear energy, and local politicians certainly do. But Mr Corbyn has made plain in the past that he disagrees.\n\nA policy document for his leadership campaign in 2015 says plainly: \"I am opposed to fracking and to new nuclear on the basis of the dangers posed to our ecosystems.\"\n\nIn a 2011 speech in the wake of the Fukushima disaster he went further, suggesting existing nuclear power stations should be decommissioned.\n\nSources close to Mr Corbyn say he no longer believes that's practical but Tories campaigning in Copeland have seized on his words.\n\nThe Convervatives hope to exploit Labour divisions over nuclear power\n\nCouncillor, local Labour party secretary and would-be candidate Gillian Troughton says: \"Jeremy Corbyn is not the entire Labour party and Labour policy is for the green, low-carbon energy policy of which nuclear power is a key part.\"\n\nUKIP, which came third here at the last election, boasts that it can take Labour votes. Fiona Mills - who has been UKIP's candidate in Carlisle - is hoping to contest Copeland. She says: \"When I stood in the general election I definitely took voters away from Labour because people told me that.\"\n\nBut while people here are worried about nuclear jobs, many are furious about healthcare.\n\nThere is a proposal to move services, including a consultant-led maternity unit, from the hospital in Whitehaven 40 miles down a slow, twisting road to Carlisle.\n\nMichelle, who works in the butcher's, says: \"Why don't we stick a fellow in the back of an ambulance who's making these decisions and stick a monitor on him that creates the pain the same as labour and see how he feels about that?\"\n\nLabour's message is that only it will care for the local NHS.\n\nConservative councillor Kevin Beaty says what happens to the hospital is a decision for the local NHS and blames \"a PFI in the north set up under the last Labour government that is really difficult from a financial point of view for them\".\n\nBut with a decision about the hospital due in March, potentially before a by-election date, it's a clear and present danger to Tory hopes.\n\nWhat happens to the hospital is a decision for the local NHS, says Tory councillor Kevin Beaty\n\nIf the Conservatives win, it will be the first time since 1982 the governing party has gained a seat in a by-election. Should that happen, Jamie Reed - the departing Labour MP - will in prompting the contest have done deeper damage to Mr Corbyn than he ever managed in many months criticising his leader. If Labour fails here blame will be piled deep at the door of the party leader.\n\nYet speculation about an electoral upset has raised Tory expectations in a patch that has been Labour since 1935. Merely holding on to a seat that even Margaret Thatcher couldn't seize could yet wind up feeling like a win for Labour.\n\nIf it's successful, a Labour strategy of responding to relentless attacks on Mr Corbyn with an equally relentless focus on the NHS may provide a model for the opposition in the years ahead.", "Last updated on .From the section Cycling\n\nTeam Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has defended his training methods as an investigation into British Cycling is set to be published.\n\nFormer technical director Shane Sutton resigned in April over claims of discrimination, which he denies.\n\nThe findings of a review into an alleged bullying culture at British Cycling are to be published soon.\n\n\"I'm uncompromising in trying to achieve success,\" said Brailsford. \"I don't think I treated people wrongly.\"\n\nHe added: \"I don't think I was vindictive, I don't think I was biased, I don't think I was malicious.\"\n\nAustralian Sutton was found guilty of using sexist language towards cyclist Jess Varnish, but cleared of eight of the nine charges against him.\n\nHowever, the nature of the allegations - and wider claims about the culture at British Cycling - prompted an independent inquiry led by British Rowing chairman Annamarie Phelps.\n\nBrailsford became British Cycling performance director in 2003 and led Team GB to two cycling gold medals at the 2004 Olympics, improving that tally to eight in both 2008 and 2012.\n\n\"We started off as a British team who were second rate, nowhere in the world, with an attitude of gallant losers,\" said the 52-year-old. \"We thought actually 'why can't we be the best in the world?'\n\n\"And I am uncompromising, I know that.

While her father was leader, the FN was the party that wanted to deport three million foreigners, the party of Holocaust denial and xenophobia. But under Marine Le Pen the FN began to distance itself from such controversial issues.\n\n\"Damned by her father\" - Marine Le Pen managed to get her far-right father off the political stage after his remarks about the Holocaust\n\nSuch efforts at detoxification have proved successful, with polls suggesting support for the FN climbing from 18% in 2010 to about 24% today.\n\nNonetheless, when voters are questioned they still place the FN and Ms Le Pen \"way more to the right than other parties\", says Nonna Mayer, expert in racism and the FN at Sciences Po university.\n\nWhere does she go from here in her pursuit of a detoxified party? The FN has traditionally been a male, blue-collar-dominated party, and the leader needs to target women, says Dr Mayer. So Ms Le Pen has softened her approach to women's rights, and even sees herself as a quasi-feminist.\n\nIn fact, Dr Mayer argues, in many respects Ms Le Pen is more socially liberal than much of the mainstream right - something that has caused divisions within her own party.\n\nThe 2017 National Front manifesto renews its commitment to a massive reduction in legal immigration. Ms Le Pen argues French citizenship should be \"either inherited or merited\". As for illegal immigrants, they \"have no reason to stay in France, these people broke the law the minute they set foot on French soil\".\n\nBut if that is a far-right stance, it is not very different from that of centre-right candidate Francois Fillon - who when first elected as the Republican candidate enjoyed a small advantage over Ms Le Pen in polls but has since been damaged by claims of improper use of state funds.\n\n\"We've got to reduce immigration to its strict minimum,\" he says.\n\nIn a world where the centre is shifting to the right, and the right is shifting to the centre, the lines are getting blurred.\n\nThe two are now competing for some of the same voters. While Mr Fillon is regarded as appealing more to the \"respectable\" middle classes, Marine Le Pen is claiming to speak for \"all people\", and increasingly appealing to a wider electorate, even Muslim voters in the French suburbs.\n\nMarine Le Pen increasingly claims to speak \"in the name of the people\"\n\nHowever, in December she upped the ante by announcing that she would end free education for the children of undocumented immigrants, though this did not appear as a pledge in the party's manifesto.\n\n\"If you come to our country, don't expect to be taken care of, to be looked after, that your children will be educated without charge,\" she said in a speech in Paris. And, more threateningly, \"playtime is over\".\n\nLong before the Paris attacks on 13 November 2015, Marine Le Pen made a link between immigration and militant Islamism. In the immediate aftermath, she proposed to \"expel foreigners who preach hatred on our soil\" and to strip dual-nationality Muslims with extremist views of their French citizenship, a view traditionally associated with the far right.\n\nIn an unprecedented move, those ideas were endorsed both by Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls and by President Francois Hollande, before eventually being dropped.\n\nMany of her views have been echoed by Francois Fillon too.\n\nMr Fillon, a devout Catholic, described radical Islam as a \"totalitarianism like the Nazis\". Catholics, Protestants and Jews \"don't denounce the values of the Republic,\" he said, indicating that was not the case with Islam.\n\n\"The clear blue water between the FN and the other parties has been disappearing and disappearing,\" says James Shields, professor of French politics at Aston University.\n\nThe National Front is to the right of the Republicans on law and order issues, says Nonna Mayer.\n\nIts 2017 election manifesto includes upping police numbers and powers and creating 40,000 new prison places.\n\nThere is no mention in this manifesto of the FN's previous pledge to restore the death penalty, an issue that divides the party's core supporters from the mainstream. Polls suggest 60% of FN voters are in favour, compared with 28% of mainstream-right and 11% of left-wing voters.\n\nTreatment of immigrants in France is probably the standout, far-right policy of Marine Le Pen's FN. And it is central to the party's platform.\n\nJobs, welfare, housing, schools, or any area of public provision should go to French nationals before they get to \"foreigners\".\n\nThe centre of gravity of French politics may have shifted to the right. But no other party has adopted favouritism across the social services - and it could breach the law.\n\nMarine Le Pen's niece tweets this: \"Fillon is for the national birth right, for family reunion, against restoration of the borders, against national priority\"\n\n\"She is upholding a policy that not only is thought by constitutional experts to be unconstitutional, but has been judged by the law to be unlawful,\" says Prof Shields.\n\nIn 1998, a National Front mayor, Catherine Megret, tried to implement a new policy that would give a family allowance to French or EU families, but not to other foreign families.\n\n\"Did it stand up in court? No,\" says Prof Shields. But, he says, so-called nativism remains central in Ms Le Pen's platform.\n\nMarine Le Pen appeals to French voters fed up with mainstream politics, but there is nothing far right about that.\n\nIf she wins the presidency in May, she has promised an EU referendum in France within six months of taking office. And the UK's vote to leave the EU in June 2016 has provided the template.\n\nPortraying herself as beyond the establishment, she has championed public services - for non-foreigners - and presented herself as a protector of workers and farmers in the face of \"wild and anarchic globalisation\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\n\"She's managing to get these approval ratings by doing a Trump,\" says Prof Shields.\n\nBut here the lines are blurred too: left-wing parties are playing the anti-establishment, anti-globalisation card as well.\n\nBut what sets her European views apart from the rest of the French right is the company she keeps. The FN has strong ties with the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), Austria's Freedom Party (FPOe), Belgium's Flemish Interest (VB), Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Italian Northern League (LN).\n\nThey are all part of the FN-led Europe of Nations and Freedom grouping in the European Parliament and are either right-wing populist or, in the case of the FPOe, far right.\n\nMarine Le Pen associates herself with other right-wing leaders in Europe, for example Geert Wilders of the Dutch PVV\n\nGeert Wilders, of leader of the Dutch PVV, wants to ban the Koran. The Italian Northern League's leader Matteo Salvini is known for his praise of fascist leader Benito Mussolini.\n\nThese views are toxic to the political right in Europe, and many centre-right parties have said they will not form coalitions with them.", "Millions of women rely on the contraceptive pill and many are happy with it - but some find it has a devastating effect on their mental health. Here Vicky Spratt, deputy editor of The Debrief, describes years of depression, anxiety and panic as she tried one version of the pill after another.\n\nI sat in the GP's office with my mum and told her that I'd been having my period for three weeks. She told me that the contraceptive pill might help. She warned that it wouldn't protect me from sexually transmitted infections and told me that if I had unprotected sex I could get cervical cancer, so I'd best use it wisely. She had to say that, though I was 14 and sex was very much not on the agenda.\n\nMy prescription was printed in reception. And then, a three-month supply of the combined pill was mine. Picking up the green foil-covered packets full of tiny yellow pills felt like a rite of passage - I was a woman now. In the plastic pockets was the sugar-coated distillation of feminism, of women's liberation, of medical innovation.\n\nThis is where it all began, 14 years ago. I then played what I call pill roulette for more than a decade, trying different brands with varying degrees of success and disaster. It was around this time that I also developed anxiety, depression and serious mood swings which, on and off, have affected me throughout my adult life.\n\nRelationships have ended and I had to take a year out from university - I thought that was just \"who I was\", a person ill-equipped for life, lacking self-confidence and unhappy. It wouldn't be until my early 20s, after graduating from university - when my mental health problems and behaviour could no longer be dismissed as those of a \"moody teenager\" - that I would seriously question whether it was linked to my use of the pill.\n\nOne day in the early hours, sitting at my laptop, unable to sleep because of a panic attack which had lasted overnight, I began to Google. I had started taking a new pill, a progestogen-only pill (POP) which had been prescribed because I was suffering from migraines, and the combined pill is not safe for people who suffer from migraines with aura.\n\nI tapped the name of the pill + depression/anxiety into the search engine and the internet did the rest. There it was: forum threads and blog posts from people who were experiencing the same symptoms as me.\n\nAt this point I had already seen my GP several times, following the sudden onset of debilitating panic attacks, which I had never experienced before. At no point had my contraceptive pill come up in conversation, despite the fact that the attacks had started when I switched to the new contraceptive. Instead, I was prescribed a high dose of beta blockers, used to treat anxiety, and it was recommended that I should undergo cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).\n\nI lived like this for somewhere between six and eight months - I can't tell you exactly because that year of my life is a blur, recorded by my mind in fast-forward because of the constant sense of urgency and impending doom that coursed through my veins.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe Debrief carried out an investigation, surveying 1,022 readers, aged 18-30\n\nI wish, wholeheartedly, that I could look back on this and laugh. That's how all good stories end, isn't it? But there was then, and is now, nothing funny about what I went through. It was terrifying. I was scared. I didn't recognise myself, I didn't like myself and I couldn't live my life. I didn't know what to do, who to turn to or whether it would ever end. I was not only anxious but lethargic, I felt completely useless. I blamed myself.\n\nAt the time, convinced that I had lost my mind and feeling as though I was having an out-of-body experience, I explained to my GP that \"I felt like someone else\", as though my brain \"had gone off and gone mouldy\".\n\n\"Do you think this could have anything to do with my new pill?\" I asked. I remember the look on her face, an attempt to look blank which barely concealed a desire to tell me I was ridiculous. I explained to her that I had felt awful on every single one of the six or seven pills I'd taken up until that point, with the exception of one high-oestrogen combined pill which made me feel like superwoman for a year, before it was taken away from me (partly because of the migraines and partly because of an increased risk of thrombosis with continued use).\n\nShe told me, categorically, that my new pill was not the problem.\n\nBut, disobeying both her and my therapist, I stopped taking the progestogen-only pill.\n\nI can only describe what happened next as the gradual and creeping return of my sense of self. After three or four weeks I also stopped taking the beta blockers. To this day, I still carry them with me. They're in every handbag I own, a safety net should I fall off the enormous cliff of my own mind again. In three-and-a-half years I have never had to take them.\n\nMy problems didn't disappear overnight, of course, but I did stop having panic attacks. I haven't had one since. I feel low from time to time, anxious and stressed but it's nowhere near on the same scale as what I experienced while taking the progestogen-only pill. I felt joy again, my libido returned and I stopped feeling terrified of absolutely everything and everyone.\n\nA year after the panic attacks subsided I sat on a faraway beach, after taking a solo long-haul flight halfway round the world. This would have been unthinkable the previous year. As I sat there, underneath a tropical electrical storm, I cried with relief. Relief that I was myself again, relief that I had control of my own mind once more and relief that I hadn't been wrong, that I knew myself better than doctors had made me feel I did.\n\nNow 28, I no longer use hormonal contraception and with the exception of mild mood swings in the 48 hours before my period I am, touch wood, free of anxiety, depression and panic attacks.\n\nIn the years that have passed since I lost myself on the progestogen-only pill and found myself again on a South Asian beach, this issue has been gradually receiving more and more attention. Holly Grigg Spall's book, Sweetening The Pill, published in 2013, put the effects of hormonal contraception on women's mental health firmly on the agenda.\n\nSince then a study, overseen by Prof Ojvind Lidegaard at the University of Copenhagen, found that women taking the pill - either the combined pill or the progestogen-only pill - were more likely to be prescribed an antidepressant than those not on hormonal contraception. The difference was particularly noticeable for young women aged between 15 and 19 on the combined pill.\n\nLidegaard was able to conduct this research because he had access to medical records for more than a million Danish women aged 15-34.\n\nFollowing the publication of Prof Lidegaard's study I sent a freedom of information request to the NHS, in my capacity as a journalist at The Debrief. I knew, from the number of our readers who write to us on a near-daily basis about this issue, that significant numbers of women were suffering. I asked the NHS whether they knew how many women were taking antidepressants or beta blockers concurrently. They told me that their systems do not yet allow them to collect this data.\n\nProf Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, says: \"There is an established link between hormones and mood, both positive and negative, but for the vast majority of women, the benefits of reliable contraception and regulation of their menstrual cycle outweigh any side effects, and many women report that taking hormones actually boosts their mood.\n\n\"If a woman believes her contraception might be adversely affecting her mood, she should discuss it with a healthcare professional at her next routine appointment.\"\n\nSee also: How risky is the contraceptive pill?\n\nDepression is listed as a known but rare side effect of the hormonal contraceptive pill, it's there in the small but hefty leaflet you get in the packet. The NHS website lists \"mood swings\" and \"mood changes\" but not explicitly depression, anxiety or panic attacks.\n\nWe shouldn't throw our pill packets away but neither should we accept negative side effects which impinge on our day-to-day lives. We can't make informed choices without information. We need better research into how hormonal contraception can affect women's mental health, better ways of monitoring reactions in patients, more awareness and support for those who do experience serious side effects. No woman should feel dismissed or ignored.\n\nVicky Spratt is deputy editor of The Debrief, a website for women in their 20s.

No prime minister would want to make an enemy of an American president, so who wouldn't want an endorsement like this?\n\nBut, as officials in Brussels and leaders around the EU seek to stick together before getting down to business with the talks with the UK, the government may also be wary about being seen to be cosying up too closely to President Trump.\n\nMrs May shares some of his analysis of many voters' disillusionment with what she describes as the \"privileged few\". But the similarities don't run deep, and for voters, Mr Trump appals as much as he inspires.\n\nFor some in Brussels, Mr Trump's support for Brexit may only harden them against the UK. Diplomacy is a sensitive and complicated business, not used to the brashness of this billionaire.\n\nThe European Commission has already piled in to say that it's not possible to make any agreements before the UK has left the EU.\n\nEven Downing Street said today it would \"abide by our obligations\" and committed only to early conversations.\n\nThe president-elect's straightforward promise that a trade deal can be done with Mrs May without delay may come to haunt them both.", "The claim: The UK and USA can quickly negotiate a trade deal\n\nReality Check verdict: The earliest we could possibly get a deal is 2019, when the UK leaves the EU under the government's current timetable. The complexities of the process mean a trade deal with the US could take considerably longer.\n\nIn an interview with the Times, Donald Trump has promised a quick trade deal with post-Brexit Britain.\n\nThe president-elect said: \"We're going to work very hard to get it done quickly and done properly.\"\n\nHow quickly depends what you mean by quickly and what kind of deal you want, because EU treaties prohibit the UK from conducting formal negotiations while it is still a member of the EU.\n\nAlso, remember that this is the same Donald Trump who has attacked American companies that use NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, to build cars in Mexico and sell them in the USA, and has criticised a proposed pan-Pacific trade deal as the \"rape of our country\".\n\nHe is also opposed to TTIP, the current talks between the USA and EU to reach a trade deal.\n\nBut given he seems all in favour of a free trade deal with the UK, how long will it take and what will it involve? Even the easiest trade deal between perfectly willing partners would take years and we won't even be able to begin formal negotiations until we leave the EU, probably in two years.\n\nWe will be able to have unofficial talks though, as the prime minister's spokesman put it on Monday: \"When she [Theresa May] visits the States she can have an early discussion, but we will abide by our obligations while in the EU.\"\n\nTechnically therefore, the quickest we would be able to get a deal is by 2019, but it is very unlikely to be that quick, not least because the deal the UK ends up doing with the EU would have an impact on the deal it gets with the US.\n\nThe first part of any negotiations would be relatively easy.\n\nTariffs, which are taxes on goods entering a country, are already quite low between the USA and the EU: they average 3%.\n\nA free-trade deal would aim to bring them all down to zero, but it is non-tariff barriers that are the real problem.\n\nThis covers everything from bank regulations and car safety standards to animal welfare and environmental protection.\n\nThe easiest deal would be for the USA to accept all our standards and regulations and for us to accept all theirs.\n\nBut this is where it can get messy.\n\nFor instance, the UK has much stricter rules on food standards, GM crops and hormones in farm animals.\n\nJust letting American food into the UK could undermine those standards and put British farmers at a disadvantage.\n\nThen there is the thorny issue of the NHS; do we open it up to competition from US medical companies or do we seek to protect it?\n\nNegotiating an optout for the NHS is perfectly possible, but it would take time and America might ask for something else in return.\n\nThe EU and the USA agreed to start negotiating a trade deal in 2011, and those talks have become bogged down because of a whole host of such issues, including how to resolve disputes once a deal is signed.\n\nThe UK should be a quicker and nimbler negotiator than the EU, which has 27 governments to keep on board, but that doesn't mean the issues are any less controversial.", "Claudia Vulliamy had applied to Wadham College at Oxford University to study Classics; upon receiving her rejection letter she turned it into a piece of art\n\nA piece of abstract art made from a student's rejection letter from Oxford University has gone viral on Twitter.\n\nClaudia Vulliamy, from London, applied to study classics in September at Wadham College.\n\nBut when the 18-year-old received her rejection letter, she \"thought it would be funny\" to use it to create a piece of artwork.\n\nA picture of the piece published on Twitter has been retweeted 48,000 times.\n\nHer mother Louisa Saunders said: \"Between that time [she told me she had been rejected] and when I got back from work, she had made this artwork.\n\n\"I thought it was very funny and very spirited, and obviously I was glad she wasn't feeling to sad about it.\"\n\nThe picture has been liked on Twitter 153,000 times and has sparked a lot of reactions from students who were rejected from Oxbridge.\n\nMiss Vulliamy said there wasn't a message behind the artwork initially.\n\nShe added: \"I just thought I had this letter, it's not often that you get a letter dedicated to you from Oxford.\n\n\"It's very meaningful, so I thought it would be funny if I made it into something.\"\n\nLouisa Saunders, left, said she was amazed by the response to her daughter's artwork on social media\n\nMs Saunders said some people on social media were comparing the painting to works by Piet Mondrian.\n\nThe student, who has been accepted to Durham University, said: \"In retrospect I quite like how it is interpreted as Oxbridge doesn't determine everything, I like that it's cheered people up.\n\n\"I hadn't set my heart on Oxford I'm happy I got an offer from Durham.\"\n• None Will more schools select by ability?\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The two world leaders may have more in common than meets the eye\n\nAt first glance, few people have less in common than Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President-elect Donald Trump.\n\nMr Trudeau is a favourite of global progressives, who see him as a bastion against rising tide of anti-immigrant and protectionist sentiment and who campaigned on appealing to people's \"better angels\".\n\nMr Trump won the US election riding that anti-trade and anti-globalisation wave, and as a political outsider who is free with his insults.\n\nThe relationship between the North American neighbours is a vital one and depends in part on the Republican and Liberal leaders finding common ground, despite differences in personality and policy.\n\nHere are five areas where Mr Trudeau and Mr Trump are somewhat simpatico.\n\n1.

They embrace politics in the social media age.\n\nThe prime minister and the president-elect both use social media for their political ends.\n\nMr Trudeau and his team know a charming photo opportunity of the photogenic prime minister, from shirtless selfies to yoga poses, can go viral and bolster his popularity at home and abroad.\n\nHe has leveraged social media as a tool to sell his brand of progressive cool to the world.\n\nWhile Mr Trudeau has a healthy Twitter following for a world leader, with nearly 2.4m followers (and over 830,000 on Instagram), his influence on the platform is dwarfed by Mr Trump's 19.7m followers.\n\nA prolific tweeter, Mr Trump wields his influential account to attack opponents, drive the news, and pressure US manufacturers to bend to his agenda.\n\nHe has, however, promised to be more restrained in his Twitter antics after being sworn-in 20 January.\n\n3. They promised to change the way politics is done.\n\nMr Trump vowed during the campaign he would \"drain the swamp\", a catch-all promise for his supporters who see of Washington as a cesspool of lobbyists, corruption, and waste.\n\nDuring the 2015 Canadian election, Mr Trudeau said his predecessor, former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, \"turned Ottawa into a partisan swamp\" during his near decade in power.\n\nMr Trudeau promised to put an end to partisanship and patronage in Ottawa, to usher in a more transparent and receptive government, and to make question period respectful again.\n\nThe two have faced critics who say those promises were quick to fall by the wayside.\n\nDonald Trump said he would 'Make America great Again'\n\n4. They harkened to the past in their pitch to voters.\n\nThe two politicians pressed some very powerful nostalgia buttons as they campaigned to lead their countries.\n\nMr Trump's inescapable campaign slogan, \"Make America Great Again\", borrowed from former US president Ronald Reagan's 1980 race, looked back to a time when voters felt there was more prosperity and opportunity in the United States and when their nation garnered respect on the world stage.\n\nMr Trudeau was more subtle, though his campaign was woven through with a thread of nostalgia, from a promise to recommit troops to overseas peacekeeping efforts to a foreign policy return to when Canadians thought the world saw the country as its good neighbour.\n\nAfter winning the election, Mr Trudeau and his MPs made \"Canada is back\" one of their favourite catchphrases.\n\nPierre Elliott Trudeau, right, Justin Trudeau's father, with former US President Ronald Reagan\n\n5.

It's usually something done behind closed doors - but how would you feel about someone watching porn in public? The BBC's Siobhann Tighe describes a troubling experience on a London bus.\n\nIt had been a long day at work. I got on the bus at 7.30 in the evening and it was cold and drizzly. All the passengers were wrapped up in thick coats, hoods and hats.\n\nInside, the bus was softly lit and I was expecting to zone out on my way back home: just let the day go and switch off.\n\nI sat on the lower deck beside a complete stranger and didn't give it a second thought. I was just relieved to get a seat. As we meandered through the London traffic, my gaze was drawn to my neighbour's phone. I wasn't being nosy but in the dim light of the bus, the brightness of his mobile caught my attention even though he was slanting it slightly away from me.\n\nAlthough I didn't mean to or want to, I found myself looking over towards his mobile a few times and then it suddenly occurred to me what was going on. The man beside me was watching porn.\n\nOnce I realised, although I genuinely didn't mean to, my eyes kept on being pulled back to it. I couldn't quite believe it. First he was watching animated porn, with the two naked characters in lurid colours repeating their movements over and over again. Then he started watching a film, which seemed to begin in a petrol station with a large woman in a low-cut yellow top and blonde hair peering into the driver's window.\n\nI didn't hear any sound, apart from a brief few seconds when my fellow passenger pulled the headphone jack out of his mobile, and then reinserted it.\n\nThe man didn't seem to notice my glances towards his phone, maybe because his hood was hampering his peripheral vision. He seemed oblivious to me and others around him, who admittedly wouldn't have been able to see what I saw.\n\nWe eventually arrived at his bus stop and because he had the window seat and I had the aisle, he made a motion that he needed to get out, and he muttered a \"thank you\" as he squeezed past me. I watched him get off and walk down the street.\n\nI felt uncomfortable and annoyed, but I didn't do anything about it. I didn't say anything to him and neither did he pick up on any of my glances or quizzical looks. His eyes didn't meet mine so I couldn't even communicate my feelings non-verbally and it didn't occur to me to tell the driver. Even if I wanted to, it would have been difficult to get to the front of the bus because it was packed.\n\nBut when I got off, questions flooded into my mind about what I had just experienced. What if a child saw that? Are there any laws about looking at porn in public spaces? If there are laws, how easy are they to enforce? Why did this passenger feel public transport was an appropriate place to watch porn, and should I be worried from a safety point of view?\n\nAs a journalist, I also looked at it from his point of view, even though he made me feel uncomfortable.

Do civil liberties in our society grant him that freedom?\n\nBut in my heart, I was offended.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. From disgust to it's ok, Woman's Hour took to the streets to find out what you think of it.\n\nWhen I mentioned it to friends, everyone seemed to have a story of their own, or an opinion.\n\n\"It happened to me when I was with my son having a coffee at a Swiss airport,\" one said. \"Two Italian guys were sitting next to me. I said something because I felt safe and I sensed there'd be support if an argument ensued.\" It worked, and they politely switched the laptop off.\n\nIt certainly got everyone talking, but like me, no-one was sure where the law stood.\n\nAccording to Prof Clare McGlynn from Durham University who specialises in the law around porn, there's little to stop someone viewing pornographic material in public - on public transport, in a library, in a park or a cafe, for example.\n\n\"It's like reading a book,\" she says. \"They are viewing lawful material which is freely available, and restricting people's access to it presents other challenges.\"\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, the law would only prevent it if the porn viewer is harassing someone or causing a disturbance.\n\nSo, what do you do? Prof McGlynn describes it as a dilemma.\n\n\"It's like someone shouting at you, calling to you to 'Cheer up, love!'\" says Prof McGlynn. \"Do you confront it, or do you put your head down and walk along?\"\n\nBut when I contacted Transport for London, they appeared to take the case very seriously.\n\n\"If someone has made you feel uncomfortable, for example by viewing pornographic material, please tell the police or a member of our staff,\" I was told.\n\nA member of staff said passengers should report incidents like to this to the bus driver, who would tell the control centre, and the information would then be passed to the police for them to investigate.\n\nIn Prof McGlynn's view, there is not much the police could do. On the other hand, James Turner QC contacted the BBC to say that there is a law - the Indecent Displays (Control) Act - which might form the basis for a prosecution.\n\nFive years ago, in the US, the executive director of a group called Morality in the Media had an experience similar to mine on an aeroplane. As a result, the group - now called the National Center On Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) - campaigned to get the major US airlines to stop passengers watching porn.\n\n\"All of them except for one agreed to improve their policies to prohibit passengers from viewing this material during flights and agreed to better train their flight attendants on what to do,\" Haley Halverson of NCOSE told me.\n\nBuses don't have flight attendants, though. Nor do trains. And even if police wanted to investigate incidents of porn-watching on public transport, passengers can get off whenever they like.\n\nHow would officers catch them and question them then?\n\nSiobhann Tighe and Prof Clare McGlynn spoke to Jenni Murray on Woman's Hour, on BBC Radio 4.

On Monday, the league introduced a rule stating teams could only field three non-Chinese players.\n\nThe Spain international, who has scored 14 Premier League goals in 19 appearances this season, missed three days of training last week and was seen training at the club's Cobham training ground on Monday.\n\nThe rest of the club's playing staff resume training on Tuesday, when Costa will be evaluated to determine whether he can rejoin the first-team squad.\n\nChelsea, who have a seven-point lead at the top of the table, are at home to Hull on Sunday.\n\nConte has not confirmed or denied any rift with the former Atletico Madrid player, and said that if such a problem arose he would deal with it in-house.\n\nFormer England captain Alan Shearer told MOTD2 Extra that Chelsea would face a \"huge uphill struggle\" to win the title without Costa, who is joint top scorer in the league with Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tottenham's Harry Kane.\n\n\"Costa will dictate the situation,\" said Shearer. \"The players have the vast majority of the power.

In the end, he had to come back and he apologised and said: 'I have made a mistake, I'm young.' He is a very stubborn man and at the time it didn't work out for him, but he really believes this time it will happen for him.\n\nEighteen months ago Payet did not want to leave Marseille. They forced him to leave in a way, because they had to sell him to balance their books. He never really settled in England.\n\nHis family are not settled, the children are not happy at school, his wife is not happy. They all went back to France and are already looking at new schools there. The main issue for him has always been the family. They were not happy and that was impacting on him as a person and as a player.\n\nPayet will take a cut out to go back to Marseille, it is not about the money. He is not going to China. Marseille have already reached an agreement to go back, now it is between the clubs.\n\nMarseille's second offer is clearly way below what West Ham want, but at least they are opening the door. Three days ago they said they would never sell him, now they say they would sell him if they receive £30-35m pounds. I expect Marseille to go back with a better bid and still believe they will sell at some point.\n\nFormer Hammers striker Dean Ashton, who was forced to retire at the age of 26 through injury, said Payet's refusal to play was \"disgusting\".\n\n\"I can't play anymore and to see the way Payet is acting, I can't tell you how angry it makes me,\" Ashton, 33, told Talksport.\n\n\"West Ham love him, they absolutely adore him - they wouldn't dream to think he would go and do this. He is so many kids' favourite player.\n\n\"It is disgusting what he is doing in refusing to play.\"\n\nPayet, who signed from Marseille for £10.7m in June 2015, excelled in his first season with the London club, scoring 12 goals and earning a nomination for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award.\n\nIn February 2016 he signed a new contract running until the summer of 2021.\n\nMOTD2 Extra pundit Alan Shearer says West Ham should hold out for the biggest transfer fee they can get for Payet.\n\n\"It is quite clear Dimitri Payet is refusing to play for the club,\" he said on Sunday's programme.\n\n\"You have to get as much as you can and sell him. The dressing room is far more important.\"\n\nMark Schwarzer, the former Chelsea, Fulham and Middlesbrough goalkeeper, added on the programme: \"Payet is a commodity - you have to get as much money for him.

Only one-third of local NHS plans give any information about bed closures.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn said at Prime Minister's Questions this week: \"Her government is proposing, through sustainability and transformation, to cut one-third of the beds in all our hospitals in the very near future.\"\n\nHe was referring to the Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs), which are the plans that local NHS areas have been asked to come up with to change services in order to make themselves financially sustainable.\n\nThey are part of NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens' Five Year Forward View. England has been divided into 44 areas, each of which has its own STP.\n\nAlthough some of the STPs have quite precise plans, others are quite vague.\n\nThat means it is difficult to come up with a precise figure for the number of beds being closed.\n\nIn fact, according to Labour Party health researchers, only 14 of the 44 STPs mention bed closures. That is one-third of the STPs, although that might just be a coincidence.\n\nMr Corbyn's team has been unable to show Reality Check where he got the number that he used in Parliament.\n\nAmong the STPs with the most precise figures was Derbyshire, where 535 of 1,771 beds will be cut by 2020-21, a cut of 30%.\n\nWest, North and East Cumbria plans to reduce beds in cottage hospitals (smaller hospitals, often in rural areas) from 133 to 104, with beds at Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital going from 600 to 500. That's an 18% cut overall.\n\nIt illustrates another difficulty with these figures, which is that not all beds are the same. Having an acute bed is not the same as having a bed in a day unit or an A&E bed, for example.\n\nAlso, some of the plans involve trying to treat people in ways that do not involve using hospital beds, through the use of home treatment, for example, which makes it harder to interpret bed closure figures.\n\nSo an overall figure for bed closures would need a great deal of clarification, but it is clear that we do not yet have enough data to reach such a figure.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "A court has watched a police recreation of the hour-long killing spree at a Tunisian beach resort in June 2015, which left 38 people dead.\n\nThe inquest into the deaths of 30 Britons who died during the attack heard Tunisian security forces deliberately \"slowed down\" as Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire.", "A third of MPs in the Indian parliament faced criminal charges\n\nWhy do India's political parties field candidates with criminal charges? Why do the voters favour them despite their tainted past?\n\nPolitical scientist Milan Vaishnav has been studying links between crime and democracy in India for many years now. His upcoming book When Crime Pays offers some intriguing insights into what is a disturbing feature of India's electoral democracy.\n\nThe good news is that the general election is a thriving, gargantuan exercise: 554 million voters queued up at more than 900,000 stations to cast their ballots in the last edition in 2014. The fortunes of 8,250 candidates representing 464 political parties were at stake.\n\nThe bad news is that a third (34%) of 543 MPs who were elected faced criminal charges, up from 30% in 2009 and 24% in 2004.\n\nSome of the charges were of minor nature or politically motivated. But more than 20% of the new MPs faced serious charges such as attempted murder, assaulting public officials, and theft.\n\nNow, India's general elections are not exactly a cakewalk.\n\nOver time, they have become fiercely competitive: 464 parties were in the fray in 2014, up from 55 in the first election in 1952.\n\nThe average margin of victory was 9.7% in 2009, the thinnest since the first election. At 15%, the average margin of victory was fatter in the landslide 2014 polls, but even this was vastly lower than, say, the average margin of victory in the 2012 US Congressional elections (32%) and the 2010 general election in Britain (18%).\n\nAlmost all parties in India, led by the ruling BJP and the main opposition Congress, field tainted candidates. Why do they do so?\n\nFor one, says Dr Vaishnav, \"a key factor motivating parties to select candidates with serious criminal records comes down to cold, hard cash\".\n\nThe rising cost of elections and a shadowy election financing system where parties and candidates under-report collections and expenses means that parties prefer \"self-financing candidates who do not represent a drain on the finite party coffers but instead contribute 'rents' to the party\". Many of these candidates have criminal records.\n\nThere are three million political positions in India's three-tier democracy; each election requires considerable resources.\n\nMany parties are like personal fiefs run by dominant personalities and dynasts, and lacking inner-party democracy - conditions, which help \"opportunistic candidates with deep pockets\".\n\n\"Wealthy, self financing candidates are not only attractive to parties but they are also likely to be more electorally competitive. Contesting elections is an expensive proposition in most parts of the world, a candidate's wealth is a good proxy for his or her electoral vitality,\" says Dr Vaishnav, who is senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.\n\nPolitical parties also nominate candidates with criminal backgrounds to stand for election because, simply put, they win.\n\nDuring his research, Dr Vaishnav studied all candidates who stood in the last three general elections. He separated them into candidates with clean records and candidates with criminal records, and found that the latter had an 18% chance of winning their next election whereas the \"clean\" candidates had only a 6% chance.\n\nMany Indians vote on lines on identity and religion\n\nHe did a similar calculation for candidates contesting state elections between 2003 and 2009, and found a \"large winning advantage for candidates who have cases pending against them\".\n\nPolitics also offers a lucrative career - a 2013 study showed that the average wealth of sitting legislators increased 222% during just one term in office. The officially declared average wealth of re-contesting candidates - including losers and winners - was $264,000 (£216,110) in 2004 and $618,000 in 2013, an increase of 134%.\n\nNow why do Indians vote for criminal candidates? Is it because many of the voters are illiterate, ignorant, or simply, ill-informed?\n\nCandidates with criminal records don't mask their reputation. Earlier this month, a candidate belonging to the ruling party in northern Uttar Pradesh state reportedly boasted to a party worker that he was the \"biggest criminal\". Increasing information through media and rising awareness hasn't led to a shrinking of tainted candidates.\n\nDr Vaishnav believes reasonably well-informed voters support criminal candidates in constituencies where social divisions driven by caste and/or religion are sharp and the government is failing to carry out its functions - delivering services, dispensing justice, or providing security - in an impartial manner.\n\n\"There is space here for a criminal candidate to present himself as a Robin Hood-like figure,\" says Dr Vaishnav.\n\nPrime Minister Modi has called for state funding of elections\n\nClearly, crime and politics will remain inextricably intertwined as long as India doesn't make its election financing system transparent, parties become more democratic and the state begins to deliver ample services and justice.\n\nPrime Minister Narendra Modi has suggested state funding of polls to help clean up campaign financing. Earlier this month, he said people had the right to know where the BJP got its funds from. Some 14% of the candidates his BJP party fielded in the last elections had faced serious charges. (More than 10% of the candidates recruited by the Congress faced charges).

Can Davos, their ideological habitat, survive?\n\nIt's all too easy to take a swipe at \"Davos\" - the annual Alpine pilgrimage of the so-called global elite, during which they underline the urgency of tackling climate change to the hum of private jet traffic, pledge to alleviate food poverty while snacking on caviar canapes, and commit to reducing inequality while being waited on hand-and-foot by an army of service staff at exclusive dinner parties.\n\nBut beyond the often jarring contrasts, the World Economic Forum (or ze WEF, as locals call it), has always been able to point to its role in oiling the wheels of a socially progressive, pro-globalisation alliance - safe in the knowledge that, to a greater or lesser extent, it was in harmony with the tide of history.\n\nThen came 2016. At the beginning of the year, when Donald Trump was still one of many potential US presidential candidates, and a date for Britain's referendum on EU membership had yet to be set, Davos regulars were remarkably sanguine.\n\nThe WEF's annual Global Risks Report, in which it tries to predict future crises, made little mention of anti-establishment forces and WPP's Sir Martin Sorrell reassured delegates that Hillary Clinton would emerge victorious, regardless of whom she ran against.\n\nEuropean leaders seemed confident that their institutions would survive the challenges posed by an influx of refugees, murderous attacks on capital cities and rising nationalist sentiment. Soundbites dismissing populist movements were easy to come by.\n\nFast forward 12 months, and the WEF crowd is comparatively muted.\n\nWith the notable exception of billionaire George Soros, few are going out of their way to condemn the incoming US president, even as his daily pronouncements signal that the world's most important economy is moving further and further away from the Davos model.\n\nPerhaps no image sums up the new world order as well as that of a seemingly despondent Klaus Schwab, the respected German academic who is the driving force behind WEF, being ushered through the lobby of Trump Tower last month.\n\nThe World Economic Forum's Klaus Schwab at Trump Tower last month\n\nBut Mr Schwab's visit is also indicative of the WEF's strength, in particular its ability to spread the Davos gospel by running a very broad church, both politically and geographically.\n\nIndeed, the likes of Donald Trump have long been invited to the meeting (though he has yet to attend), and when controversial figures, such as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, descend on the Swiss resort, they are hardly put in the stocks.\n\nWhat's more, as organisers are keen to point out, Davos has always been about more than just the US and Europe, and Indian, Chinese and African attendees have been put centre stage for years.\n\nMuch is being made of the fact that Xi Jinping is to become the first Chinese president to attend WEF when he opens the forum this week, and that Davos is welcoming a bigger trade delegation from the country than ever before - a signal, perhaps, that a more inward-looking US leaves a void for other global powers to fill.\n\nBut a Chinese delegation was first invited to the annual meeting in 1979, and although he has stayed away in recent years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has drawn crowds on the mountain more than once.\n\nAnd as the geopolitical map changes, the WEF's softly-softly approach - in which very little is mandated and everything is up for polite discussion - may yet lead the Davos tribe out of ideological isolation, even if it doesn't manage to keep their annual champagne consumption out of the headlines.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nFaraday Future, the company hoping to beat Tesla in the electric car game, had to halt building its factory in order to afford its glitzy CES press event, the firm told the BBC.\n\nThe company broke ground on its enormous plant in the Nevada desert in April last year - but work halted in October amid reports the company was in dire financial straits.\n\nSpeaking on the record for the first time about the firm’s money woes, Faraday Future’s senior vice president of research and design, Nick Sampson, acknowledged the company was facing \"challenges\".\n\n\"Clearly something like [CES] requires funding and some resources,\" Mr Sampson told me.\n\n\"We are resource-limited at times. [It's] just a matter of keeping the cash flow balance between the different projects we’re trying to do.\"\n\nNo date has been set for work on the site to recommence.\n\n\"Things like [CES] have to take priority at this point in time. We’ll be starting again [on the factory] very shortly,\" he said.\n\nThe company was spinning several financial plates, he argued.\n\n\"The challenge of building a new company is that it’s not just doing the engineering and R&D work, we’ve got manufacturing to keep aligned, we’ve also got the whole sales and marketing, branding and imaging.\n\n\"It’s a matter of keeping the whole programme aligned.\"\n\nFaraday Future’s launch was arguably the most extravagant press event at this year’s CES, taking place in a huge venue away from the famous Las Vegas strip. It was attended by the mayor of North Las Vegas, John Lee.\n\nThe $1bn plant is being subsidised by around $320m of taxpayer’s money, a deal which has attracted intense criticism, though Mr Lee has insisted the public will not be left out of pocket should Faraday Future pull out of the project.\n\nFaraday Future's contractor, AECOM, has stopped work on the factory but said it is still committed to the project\n\nLittle is known about the finances of Faraday Future, other than that its biggest backer is the founder and chief executive of China’s LeEco - a company also embroiled in legal difficulties owing to what suppliers claim are unpaid bills.\n\nAnother problem facing Faraday Future, as well as the stalled factory construction, is that several suppliers have begun taking legal action against the firm. Futuris, a company which specialises in luxury car interiors, is suing the firm for breach of contract, demanding immediate payment of more than $10m.\n\nAccording to a recent report published by Buzzfeed, Faraday Future owes more than $300m.\n\n\"We’ve gone from nothing to where we are today in just over two years,\" he said.\n\n\"Matching the speed of development and building with the inflow of cash doesn’t always match.\n\n\"Many companies have had this - Apple and Steve Jobs didn’t always have it easy in its early days. That’s one of the hurdles that we have to get over.\"\n\nThat kind of comparison - to technology pioneers - is something Faraday Future does often.\n\nAn impression of how Faraday Future wants its factory to eventually look\n\nDuring its CES presentation, it brought up a timeline of milestones including the invention of the lightbulb and the creation of the world wide web. Faraday Future placed itself at the end of this timeline.\n\n\"That to me was stepping too far,\" remarked Tim Stevens, editor at large of motoring news site Roadshow.\n\nIf the company does manage to put its first vehicle into production, Mr Stevens said he still had reason to be cautious.\n\n\"I’m expecting this car to be in the range of $150,000, maybe $200,000. Far more expensive even than a Tesla Model X.\n\n\"That’s a big ask - if they are talking a low-number, high-margin car, they’ve still got to have a production down pat, and the reliability down pat too. Those are things it's taken Tesla a long time to figure out.\"\n\nWhere Faraday Future doesn’t appear to be struggling is with the car itself. The FF91, shown off for the first time at CES, goes like a rocket - 0-60mph (97km/h) in an alleged 2.39 seconds. Faster, it said, than a Tesla Model S (though Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk, disputes the claim).\n\nA test drive also demonstrated the car’s ability to park itself completely autonomously. The company hopes drivers will one day be able to leave their car at the side of the road and ask it to drive off and park using a mobile app - like a robot valet.\n\nThe FF91 impressed car buffs - the company has promised it will be ready by 2018\n\nHowever, the technology won’t be a part of daily life any time soon. It will be valet parking \"approved by Faraday Future\", a test driver told me - a process that will mean adoption across the world will likely be painstakingly slow.\n\nBut when it comes to hurdles to leap over, autonomous parking is well down the priority list.\n\nRight now, Faraday Future is a company seemingly operating on a thread.\n\nIt is right to acknowledge that getting into the car industry as a brand new player is extremely difficult - which is why so few companies attempt it, and even fewer succeed.\n\nEven behemoths like Apple and Google owner Alphabet have turned their focus more to providing software for established car makers, rather than begin manufacturing themselves.\n\nAt CES 2016, when Faraday Future launched a concept car so outlandish it instantly became known as the Batmobile, the company insisted it would defy its critics by 2017.\n\nHas it done that? Partly - there is a car, and it’s rapid.\n\nBut building on that achievement and turning it into a mass-produced vehicle and a viable business? By next year?\n\nFollow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook", "Jeremy Corbyn has said comments by the Chancellor Philip Hammond on Brexit were the wrong approach, and suggestions that corporation tax could be cut could be a \"recipe for some kind of trade war with Europe\".", "Serge Godin remembers the event that gave him the drive and determination to succeed in life - watching his father's sawmill burn down.\n\nHe was 17 in Canada at the time, the year was 1966, and as his dad's business was uninsured, the family lost everything.\n\nOne of nine children brought up in rural Quebec, Mr Godin, along with his siblings, suddenly had to earn money to help his parents pay the bills and keep a roof over the family's heads.\n\nSo Mr Godin worked at a supermarket in the evenings after school, and then at a dry cleaner's on Saturdays.\n\nAmbitious to run his own company, in his 20s he used savings of C$5,000 ($3,800; £3,100) to start a computer business that he called Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique (CGI). In English, this translates as Information Systems and Management Consultants.\n\nToday CGI Group is a global IT systems giant that enjoys annual revenues of C$10bn, while Mr Godin's personal fortune is estimated at $1.5bn.\n\nNow 67 years old and the firm's chairman, he says: \"I didn't want to go back to the situation when we lost everything. That's probably what prompted me to build CGI.\"\n\nAfter gaining a computer science degree from Laval University in Quebec City, and a few years working for two companies, Mr Godin launched CGI in 1976, when he was 26.\n\nIn typical computer industry start-up fashion, he began the business from his garage. After a few months on his own, a friend joined the business, and in its first year, CGI generated revenues of C$138,000.\n\nMr Godin is little known outside of Canada, but often features in Canadian papers\n\nFrom that modest start, CGI has grown steadily ever since, fuelled by no fewer than 81 acquisitions, as Mr Godin has continued to follow a policy of ambitious growth.\n\nIn the company's most recent large takeover, it bought its European rival Logica for C$2.7bn in 2012. This more than doubled CGI's workforce, which rose overnight from 31,000 to 68,000.\n\nToday its business clients include companies such as miner Rio Tinto, tyre-maker Michelin, airline group Air France-KLM and London's Heathrow Airport. CGI also does work for 22 of the world's largest banks, and has no fewer than 2,000 government contracts around the world.\n\nMr Godin, who reduced his daily workload in 2006 when he switched from chief executive to chairman, says the business has not given up on fast growth.\n\n\"We think we can double the size of the company [again] within five to 10 years,\" he says.\n\nIt hasn't all been plain sailing for Montreal-based CGI in recent years, however.\n\nBack in 2013, it made headlines for all the wrong reasons, when it was blamed for technical problems that plagued the launch of the US government website where people on low or no income could apply for the new \"Obamacare\" health insurance.\n\nCGI had a central role in building the website, but Mr Godin said at the time that the company \"ended up in the eye of a storm\" between the two main US political parties.\n\nLooking back, he says: \"We stayed and finished the work.\n\n\"We were portrayed by the press as being the system integrator, but we were not. We were one of 52 companies involved in the project.\n\n\"We didn't fight this in the press, because we have a code of ethics and we never criticise our clients.\"\n\nWhile the issue could not have been pleasant at the time, Mr Godin and CGI have always insisted that there was no long-term reputational damage.\n\nIn terms of how CGI is run on a day-to-day basis, Mr Godin says he views it as a big family and that he has to keep everyone happy.\n\n\"At CGI we have a dream, and this dream is centred on the core of our business - our people,\" he says.\n\nThe company floated on the Montreal Stock Exchange in 1986\n\n\"They are the ones who take the elevator to come to work every day, and we have to make sure they will come back and will like working here.\n\n\"As employers, we have rights, but we also have duties towards our employees.\"\n\nOne way in which CGI tries to look after its staff is encouraging them to become shareholders. And for every share that an employee buys, the company will buy him or her the same amount.\n\nMr Godin says: \"This idea of sharing is important to me, because I come from a big family.\"\n\nRobert Young, technology analyst at research group Canaccord Genuity, says: \"Serge Godin is well regarded as the builder of a company with a strong culture and customer relationships.\n\n\"There is a discipline he has baked into the business that is evident in the strong financial controls, and rigorous approach to [what is known as] the 'CGI management foundation' - a set of proven processes and methods that define CGI engagements.\"\n\nWhen not continuing to help lead CGI, Mr Godin focuses on his charity work.\n\nIn 2000, he set up a charitable foundation called Jeunesse-Vie or Youth Life, which aims to help disadvantaged children across Canada through alleviating poverty and improving their education and health. So far, he has given it more than C$60m.\n\nHaving already been inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame, last year he was also recognised for his business and charity work when he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, one of the country's highest civilian honours.\n\nMr Godin says: \"When you have the chance to have a successful business, it is your duty to give back.\"\n\nHe adds: \"My origins remind me that it is important to help.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "L.L. Bean is known for its heavy boots (other boot makers are available)\n\nIn itself, it was nothing out of the ordinary: a morning tweet by Donald Trump thanking a supporter.\n\nThe subject of his thanks was one Linda Bean, who was praised for her \"great support and courage\" in the tweet on Thursday. But his post, like many before it, had wider repercussions.\n\nLinda Bean is an heiress of the Maine-based catalogue business L.L. Bean - a company Mr Trump then encouraged his 19.7m Twitter followers to support.\n\nThe tweet poses all sorts of questions about whether it is correct for the most powerful man in the Western world to endorse certain brands over others.\n\nBut what is the broader effect of a brand being associated with Mr Trump - a man who, despite his election win, will enter the White House next Friday less popular than the man who leaves (at least according to one poll this week)?\n\nLinda Bean was found by the Associated Press to have made a large donation to a pro-Trump PAC (political action committee), named Make Maine Great Again.\n\nAs a result, she and L.L. Bean have been targeted by anti-Trump groups, including one, #GrabYourWallet, that urges a boycott of companies associated with the billionaire and his family.\n\nL.L.Bean was forced on the defensive earlier this week.\n\nIts executive chairman, Shawn Gorman, wrote on Facebook that the company was \"disappointed to learn that Grab Your Wallet is advocating a boycott against L.L.Bean solely because Linda Bean, who is only one of 50+ family members involved with the business, personally supported Donald Trump for President\".\n\nBut despite the company's statement, the links to Mr Trump may not necessarily have been harmful: on the day of Mr Trump's tweet, the company's stock price ended the day higher, and Linda Bean told Fox Business there had been \"a slight uptick\" in business in recent days.\n\nAnd the website for her own lobster restaurant crashed after Mr Trump linked to it (perhaps accidentally) in his tweet.\n\nAn F-35 fighter jet (other fighter jets are available)\n\nIn mid-December, a little more than a month after he won the election, Mr Trump took aim at the US defence giant Lockheed Martin.\n\nShares in the company fell after he tweeted that he would cut the cost of its F-35 Joint Strike Fighter after taking office.\n\nHe wrote: \"F-35 program and cost is out of control. Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20.\"\n\nThe F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons programme, costing about $400bn (£328bn), so it's no small fry.\n\nThe lobster restaurant in this particular relationship is Lockheed Martin's rival, Boeing.\n\nAfter Mr Trump tweeted that he had asked Boeing to look into producing a cheaper alternative to the F-35, that company's shares jumped.\n\nNew Balance trainers being set alight (other trainers and fire-starting materials are available)\n\nDays after the election, the footwear company's vice-president appeared to praise Mr Trump's trade plans in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.\n\nMatt LeBretton said Barack Obama had \"turned a deaf ear\" to US business. \"Frankly, with President-elect Trump, we feel things are going to move in the right direction,\" he said.\n\nThe company put out a statement saying it supported the trade positions of Democrat candidates too, but the damage was done - literally, in some cases, as New Balance shoe owners set fire to their footwear.\n\nMr Trump's son visited Yuengling's brewery in October (other beers and Trump children are available)\n\nBack in the weeks before the election, the owner of the oldest brewery in the US (in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, no less) expressed his support for the Republican candidate, and his frustration at what he saw as high tax rates.\n\nThe outrage followed a similar path to that of New Balance, minus the fire-starting - online anger, the promise of a boycott of Yuengling beer, and one-star reviews on its Facebook page.\n\nBut it is not clear now just how seriously the calls for a boycott affected Yuengling. Their Facebook page, for example, is now awash with support.\n\nAnd there's only one fact that matters - in Pennsylvania, the state where Yuengling is the most popular beer, Mr Trump ended up winning 48.2% of the vote, with Hillary Clinton on 47.5%.\n\nThat's a result that helped push him towards the White House, and he'll take charge next week. Although, as a teetotaller, he won't be celebrating with a Yuengling beer.", "Joyce Wheeler was one of a select group of scientists who used Edsac in their research\n\nEveryone remembers the first computer they ever used. And Joyce Wheeler is no exception. But in her case the situation was a bit different. The first computer she used was one of the first computers anyone used.\n\nThe machine was Edsac - the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator - that ran for the first time in 1949 and was built to serve scientists at the University of Cambridge.\n\nJoyce Wheeler was one of those scientists who, at the time, was working on her PhD under the supervision of renowned astronomer Fred Hoyle.\n\n\"My work was about the reactions inside stars,\" she said. \"I was particularly interested in how long main sequence stars stay on their main sequence.\n\n\"I wanted to know how long a star took to fade out,\" she explained.\n\nThe inner workings of the nuclear furnace that keep stars shining is an understandably knotty problem to solve. And, she said, the maths describing that energetic process were formidable.\n\n\"For stars, there's a rather nasty set of differential equations that describe their behaviour and composition,\" she added.\n\n\"It was not possible to be really accurate doing it by hand,\" she said. \"The errors just build up too much.\"\n\nEnter Edsac - a machine created by Prof Maurice Wilkes to do exactly the kind of calculations Ms Wheeler (nee Blackler) needed done to complete her advanced degree.\n\nFirst though, she had to learn to write the programs that would carry out the calculations.\n\nDr Wheeler started her PhD work at Cambridge in 1954 knowing about Edsac thanks to an earlier visit during which the machine had been shown off to her and others.\n\nKeen to get on with her research she sat down with the slim booklet that described how to program it and, by working through the exercises in that pioneering programming manual, learned to code.\n\nResearch students like Joyce Wheeler had to use Edsac at night\n\nThe little book was called WWG after its three authors Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler and Stanley Gill.\n\nIt was through learning programming that Ms Blackler got talking to David Wheeler because one of her programs helped to ensure Edsac was working well. They got to know each other, fell in love and married in 1957.\n\nNow, more than 62 years on she is very matter of fact about that time - even though programmers, and especially women programmers, were rare.\n\nPerhaps because of that novel situation, a new discipline and a pioneering machine, the atmosphere at Cambridge in the computer lab was not overwhelmingly masculine.\n\n\"You could be regarded as a bit of an object, and occasionally it was a bit uncomfortable,\" she said, \"But it was not quite a boys' brigade then in the way that it became later on.\"\n\nIt was an exciting time, she said, because of what the machine could do for her and her work. She took to programming quickly, she said, her strength with maths helping her quickly master the syntax into which she had to translate those \"nasty equations\".\n\n\"But it was like maths,\" she said, \"it was one of those things that you knew you should not do for too long.\n\nThe foundations of programming were laid down by Edsac's creators\n\n\"I found I could not work at a certain programming job for more than a certain number of hours per day,\" she said. \"After that you would not make much progress.\"\n\nOften, she said, the solution to a programming problem she had been worrying away at would strike while she was engaged in something more mundane, like doing the washing or eating lunch.\n\n\"Sometimes it's better to leave something alone, to pause, and that's very true of programming.\"\n\nWith the programming done, she could let Edsac do the number crunching. As a research student she had to run her programs during the night. In her case that was Friday.\n\n\"That was good because there were no lectures the next day that you had to go to,\" she said.\n\nAs an operator she was allowed to run Edsac alone, provided she signed in and kept a record of what she did.\n\n\"Quite often it would break down during the night, but just occasionally you were lucky enough to keep it running all night,\" she said. \"If it did crash, there was little that operators were allowed to do to try to fix it.\n\n\"They didn't even let any of the cleaners get near it,\" she said.\n\nDr Wheeler had been shown one procedure that recalibrated Edsac's two kilobyte memory but if that did not help, then her work would stop for the night.\n\nDespite the regular crashes, Ms Wheeler made steady progress on finding out how long different stars would last before they collapsed.\n\nA copy of Edsac is being built at the National Museum of Computing\n\n\"I got some estimates of a star's age, how long it was going to last,\" she said. \"One of the nice things was that with programming you could repeat it. Iterate. You could not do that with a hand calculation.\n\n\"We could add in sample numbers on programs and it could easily check them,\" she added. \"I could check my results on the machine very rapidly, which was very useful.\"\n\nRapidly in the 1950s meant about 30 minutes for the machine to complete one run of a program. Then the results were printed out for researchers to pore over to see what results they had got. Then it was a case of re-programming and perhaps waiting a few days to have a chance to run a slightly modified program on Edsac.\n\nDespite the delays, it was clear to Dr Wheeler that they were pioneers.\n\n\"We were doing work that could not done in any other way,\" she said. And even though Edsac was crude and painfully slow by modern standards, she saw that a revolution had begun.\n\n\"It was clear that one day, when the machines got bigger and faster, a lot of problems would start to be solved.\"", "Working fathers are frequently reducing their hours or taking on a less stressful role in order to balance their work and family lives, a new study has found.\n\nAccording to the charity Working Families, a third of fathers they surveyed said they would take a pay cut in order to be more involved in their children's lives and as many again said they felt burnt out trying to juggle work and parental responsibilities.\n\nBBC audiences have been sharing their experiences about how they cope.\n\n\"I worked as a sound engineer for six or seven days-a-week for ten years, with no specific work times, no overtime and no extra pay.

This is because, as a woman, I get far more rights as a working mother than he would as a working father.\n\n\"I am entitled to flexible working and have more legal rights. I work 36 hours a week and he works between 16 and 18, split over a Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon which means we are at home together on a Saturday and our son only has to go to a nursery for one afternoon a week.\n\n\"It's been eight months and it's working so far. Dan is happy because he is at home with our son and also has a job so he feels like he is contributing to our income and Louis (our son) is happy because he has a parent at home during the week.\n\n\"We earn enough to get by and get no help from the state with our son other than child benefit.\"\n\n\"In my role, it's really hard to find a healthy work-life-balance. In a lot of companies you will get benefits, such as salary increase based on the effort you invest into your job. If you are not focused on your career, then you will get no increase or not the amount that would be needed.\n\n\"If you are focused just on your career you will miss beautiful moments with your child.\n\n\"If you would like to spend more time taking care of your child, you have to work hard. Then it becomes a circle, like an infinite loop, that you cannot close.\n\n\"Some people advise to either not work that hard or to move to another company, but this is nonsense. Why? Because your family needs money. More money comes from higher appreciation at work. This comes from more hard work. However, it will also reduce the time you have for your family.\n\n\"In addition, the parental leave we have here in Hungary is near to nothing. We get two days of parental leave per year per child, which is not enough. Salary increases are also not a trend here, at least not in my case.\"\n\n\"I jumped off the career ladder about five or six years ago - a decision taken with my wife to effectively swap roles; she'd worked part-time since the first of our two sons was born.\n\n\"She wanted to get back to her career, and I was painfully aware of missing out on being around my boys. We had enough cash to fall back on that my not working for a while wouldn't cause problems and then I started working part-time from home as a writer.\n\n\"There are a lot of unexpected barriers and challenges when you're a stay-at-home dad - they almost all boil down to other people's attitudes.\n\n\"It's important to accept that balance comes at a cost.\"\n\n\"When the time came that I wanted to get back to work I met some almost hostile responses. Many people struggled to accept that a man would want to spend more time at home with his kids for a while.\n\n\"I asked a few of them 'would you be so negative in the face of a woman returning to work after a prolonged child-related career break?' The answer was always 'no' and was often followed by an uncomfortable acceptance that they were regarding me differently solely because of my gender.\n\n\"It's a real eye-opener into tacit acceptance of gender-defined roles in society. That's something facing both men and women and it needs to change.\n\n\"These days I work as a copywriter for a marketing agency. I spend three days in the office and two days at home. It feels like a good balance. But it's important to accept that balance comes at a cost.\n\n\"I earn about a third less than I did about six years ago and half what I might be earning had I stayed on the career ladder. But it's definitely been worth it.\"\n\n\"Nearly three years ago I changed jobs. I took a pay cut purely for the reason of getting a better work-life balance and importantly to spend more time with my two kids. It is a move that I have not regretted.\n\n\"Previously the stress levels I was working under were making me ill. The previous job also was further away from home, so I was spending between three-and-a-half to four hours travelling every day.\n\n\"My wife and I both still work full time - we could not afford the mortgage otherwise. Life is still a struggle, but we get by.\n\n\"Family is so much more important than a career.\"\n\n\"The family have breakfast together every morning now. I can now see that my kids leave home to get on the bus to school before I travel to work. I work one day a week from home and that also is invaluable.\n\n\"It means I can help with things like getting the kids to and from after-school activities - both my children are members of the local swimming club and train for around 10 hours a week.\n\n\"Family is so much more important than a career. My new employer, Virgin Media, has been good to me.\"\n\n\"I have struggled with this for many years, choosing to be paid at 80% while working 100%. I forego a larger salary for the right to look my colleagues in the eye when I'm leaving early two afternoons a week to meet the school bus.\n\n\"Yet as a manager, my commitment and my ability to manage has been called into question a few times. 'Why don't you get an au pair?' I've been asked. Or 'why don't you ask your wife to work less?'\n\n\"As a man, I know the expectations on men can be tough when we want to step out of a stereotype.\"\n\n\"I think this is a very important area for the UK to improve. My daughter was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Canadian law is much more even-handed.\n\n\"At the time my wife was self-employed and so I was able to take our entire allocation of parental leave. This allowed me to be there full time for my daughter for the first eight months of her life.\n\n\"I also had the great fortune to be working for a very enlightened employer whose policy topped up my state allowance to 95% of my salary.\n\n\"To say this was the most important and precious time of my life is an understatement. It allowed my wife and I to fully share the role of parenting and I feel we are much stronger as a family as a result.\n\n\"As a middle manager I was the first man to take advantage of this at my job and contrary to complaining and worrying about how they would cope, my bosses were more concerned with baby showers.

Mifid 2 means big changes for banks across Europe over the next year.\n\n\"It's a complete system change, very detailed,\" says Anthony Browne, who runs the British Bankers' Association (BBA).\n\n\"It is changing their IT systems, changing the way their whole systems operate right from the front end and the information the traders put in to the back end and information they provide to clients; it's also the documentation they provide for their clients, and information they give to regulators themselves.\"\n\nThe rules run to more than 1,000 pages.\n\nThe new rulebook - or perhaps rule \"tome\", more accurately - is the EU's response to the financial crisis.\n\nA decade on from that scarring experience, the European Commission predicts the law will be transformative for markets.\n\nDespite the Brexit vote, the City still has to abide by the new EU regulations\n\nMany banks back the new rules, saying they will help avoid a rerun of 2007-08 by bringing in more transparency and giving investors greater protection.\n\nSome companies, though, say they are too tough and have already led to job losses.\n\n\"It is the unintended consequences that could be the problem here,\" says Julian Allen-Ellis from the EFMA financial markets trade body.\n\n\"The operational cost of both buy-side and sell-side setting up for this new regulation could mean profitability is impacted and that ultimately impacts the person on the street with their pension and their portfolio.\"\n\nA recent survey of the City by PA Consulting suggested two out of five companies were not prepared enough to implement the new rules.\n\nThey'd better get a move on. The sprawling regulations come into force in January 2018.\n\nThere are some who argue that these complex EU rules could be a big help to the City after Brexit, because they contain something called \"equivalence\".\n\nThat allows financial companies from outside the EU to do business inside it, as long as their home country has the same standards of regulation.\n\nThe City is wary of what Mifid 2 will usher in\n\n\"Potentially this could be a way through the mire,\" says David Biggin, an adviser at PA Consulting.\n\n\"For a lot of the companies talking about relocating, actually this rule might allow some light at the end of the tunnel. It's a technocratic decision rather than a political decision. It is a way forward.\"\n\nHowever, not everyone thinks \"equivalence\" will save the City's bacon if it finds itself with less favourable access to the EU than it has today.\n\n\"The main drawback is it can be withdrawn unilaterally at any time,\" warns the BBA's Anthony Browne.\n\nHe has other concerns too. \"This would be a political process done at a time when the UK is negotiating its divorce arrangements from the EU, and when it's thinking about negotiating a trade deal with the EU. The chance we would get agreement on equivalence, to come in the day the UK leaves the EU, seems hopeful at best.\"\n\nThe experience of some countries already outside the EU seem to bear that fear out.\n\nSeveral have already applied for \"equivalence\" status under previous financial rules.\n\nGuernsey is one of them. The Crown dependency has beefed up its laws, and they have been judged as technically the same as the EU's by an EU regulator, no less.\n\nGuernsey is now waiting for the European Commission to give it the final nod - and has been for two years.\n\n\"The technical decision was made.

That's almost three in every 10 services.\n\nHowever, if the latest-available figures - from 11 December to 7 January - are taken in isolation, the percentage of late-running trains rises to 35.4%.\n\nThe national average for the same period was 12.6%\n\nIn fact, all lines run by Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway, were in the bottom six of the list for the latest period (Southern Metro, Great Northern, Gatwick Express, Southern Mainline and Coast and Thameslink), with between 21.3% and 35.4% of trains arriving late at their destinations.\n\n*This is the Public Performance Measure (PPM) - the industry standard measure that monitors trains arriving within five minutes of scheduled arrival times for commuter services or 10 minutes for long-distance services. \"Cancelled or significantly late\" means cancelled trains or those arriving more than 30 minutes after a scheduled arrival time.\n\nOn Wednesday 11 January, the second strike day that week, Southern's own daily performance chart showed 60% of its Southern Mainline services were arriving late. That's six out of every 10 services.\n\nMeanwhile, the top performer nationally during the latest four-week period of 11 December to 7 January, was London Overground - with only 2.9% of its London services late. Merseyrail Electrics Northern line also performed well, with just 2.9% late-running trains.\n\nLooking further back over the last two years, Southern's Mainline and Coast performance has fluctuated, but delays have increased since the beginning of this year, according to the three official measures.\n\nUsing the Public Performance Measure (trains arriving late by more than five minutes), Southern's best performance since April 2014 was attained over the summer of that year - 10.3% of trains late. It has never attained that figure since.\n\nIts worst period was between 29 May and 26 June last year, with 44.2% - almost half - of its services running late by more than five minutes. Some 68.6% (almost seven in 10) of trains were running more than 59 seconds late and 23.6% (almost a quarter) of services were cancelled or arriving more than 30 minutes late.\n\nThe latest National Rail Passenger Survey, released in Spring 2016, showed the lowest ratings for overall passenger satisfaction were given to Southern (69%) and Southeastern (69%), closely followed by Great Northern (74%), Thameslink (74%) and Abellio Greater Anglia (77%). Southern, Great Northern and Thameslink are all run by Govia Thameslink Railway.\n\nNationally, the highest ratings for overall satisfaction were achieved by Grand Central (96%), First Hull Trains (94%), Virgin Trains (92%), Chiltern Railways (91%) and Heathrow Express (91%).\n\nSouthern rail has promised to restore a \"full train service\" from Tuesday 24 January after talks with Aslef were described as constructive.\n\nThree Aslef strike days - on the 24, 25, 26 January - have been cancelled as a result of the talks, however the RMT union's walkout on Monday 23 January is still set to go ahead.\n\nRail performance is measured in a number of ways.

An earlier exclusive report by BBC News had revealed that, in that first week, 79.6% of patients were seen within four hours and only one hospital met the 95% target.\n\nThe new analysis by NHS Improvement, which oversees foundation and NHS trusts, reveals a general pattern of gradual improvement since the low of January 3, when the daily A&E rate reached a low of 75.8%. Over this weekend, the service managed to see more than 85% of patients inside the four-hour waiting target.\n\nA spokesman for NHS Improvement said: \"In the past few days, we've seen a real improvement in how quickly patients are being seen and discharged from accident and emergency departments - including to social care. But we know the pressures facing our hospitals will continue over the remaining weeks of winter and we're working hard to ensure they have the support they need to offer patients quick, safe, quality care.\"\n\nThe leak also reveals that, in the second week of January, 14,700 people who had been admitted to a hospital were left waiting for more than four hours to find a bed.\n\nOf these, 140 people endured so-called \"trolley waits\" of more than 12 hours. While these figures are well down on the first week in January, they remain historically high - up by 3,000 on the equivalent week two years ago.\n\nThere are further signs of vulnerability: for the week covered by the data, which runs 9 to 15 January, the number of beds in use remained an exceptionally high 95.3%, with 4.9% of the service's beds occupied because patients were stuck in hospitals awaiting transfer to another care provider (a so-called \"delayed transfer of care\").\n\nThis is well above the preferred rate of bed use. A large number of studies of hospital management have demonstrated how, when there are few spare hospital beds, even very modest further reductions in the number of free beds can dramatically increase the likelihood of any given patient being caught in a hospital backlog, which can lead to significant delays in care.\n\nThat high utilisation rate is why, in addition to the elevated rate of trolley waits, there were 177 cancelled operations. That figure is much higher than the previous week, but is likely to be distorted because of the Bank Holiday. The rate at which operations was being cancelled also fell during the week.\n\nThe strain on the service will have been eased because of the expected fall in traffic over the second week of the year, with average daily A&E attendances dropping from 50,993 in the first week of the year to 47,195 in the second.\n\nA spokesperson for NHS England added: \"We started planning for winter this year earlier than ever before and will continue to do everything we can to ensure the best care possible is being delivered.\"", "China's capital is notorious for its chronic pollution. Even indoors it's a struggle to find clean air, says John Sudworth.\n\nHaving already taped most of my windows shut, I have now started on the air conditioning vents. The aim is simple - to close off every access point through which the toxic outside air leaks into our Beijing home.\n\nEven our double-glazing doesn't keep out the smog. The most dangerous constituent, particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter - or PM2.5 as it's known - finds a way through the tiniest of gaps where the windows close.\n\nSo the only solution there is duct tape.\n\nIt's like a re-enactment of a 1970s government information film on surviving a nuclear holocaust. Only it's not radiation we're trying to keep at bay, but the fallout from fossil fuels.\n\nThe most useful device in our armoury is our PM2.5 monitor. We have two, one upstairs and one downstairs, which we glance at frequently, and it was their arrival that prompted the frenzy of taping and draught-excluding that continues to this day.\n\nWhen I first arrived in China, five years ago, there was no way of monitoring the quality of air in our home. Like everyone else, we left it to blind faith that our air purifiers were doing the trick.\n\nIt now transpires they weren't. Even now on highly polluted days, we struggle to get our PM2.5 count much below 25 micrograms per cubic meter, the World Health Organization's maximum standard for safe air.\n\nAnd that's with multiple purifiers running at full tilt, large box-like machines that sit in the corner of every room - two in some - the combined noise output of which is akin to living in the engine room of an aircraft carrier.\n\nShoppers look at air purifiers in Beijing\n\nChina's air pollution problem is now so bad that its effects are measured in more than a million premature deaths a year and markedly reduced life expectancy - an average of more than five years or so - in the worst-affected regions.\n\nOver the past few weeks, a period of particularly acute and prolonged air pollution, the average air quality in Beijing has been well above 200 micrograms of PM2.5 particles per cubic metre - many times the maximum safe limit.\n\nDuring the worst of it, it's been like living under house arrest, our children confined to the small, deafening but breathable indoor space of our home for days on end.\n\nAnd across China, the smog becomes a dominant topic on social media, with the population tracking the foulness of the air via mobile phone apps.\n\nOne group of Beijing mothers, armed with their own PM2.5 counters, have even been roaming the city in search of shopping malls or cafes with filtered air - and then sharing their discoveries online.\n\nOf course, humanity's dependence on oil and coal long predate China's economic rise. But China offers a vision of environmental degradation far in excess of the pea-souper fogs of 1950s London or Manchester.\n\nFor much of the past month the cloud of toxic air hanging over this country has extended for thousands of miles, a giant, continent-sized cocktail of soot from coal fired power stations and car exhausts, smothering the lives and filling the lungs of hundreds of millions of people.\n\nWhile growing awareness means that more of them are now taking action to protect their health, many others are either not fully informed about the danger or don't have the means to do much about it.\n\nA set of new filters for a single air purifier can cost £100 ($120) or more and needs changing every six months or so.\n\nIt is, of course, not a problem only of China's making. The smartphones, computers, TV screens, jeans and shoes that have been pouring out of its factories over the past few decades are cheap, in part at least, precisely because they're made without environmental safeguards.\n\nThe interests of the rich world and an unaccountable Chinese Communist elite have neatly dovetailed. The West gets its cheap consumer desirables and China gets rich without the inconvenience of the independent scrutiny, regulation or democratic oversight of other markets.\n\nThe true cost is measured by the numbers on my pollution monitors, and it is one being borne disproportionately by ordinary Chinese people.\n\nFollowing a crackdown on a rare protest against pollution in the central city of Chengdu recently, one blogger dared to speak out in favour of the protesters.

But in order to make any profits we have to sell cars at such high prices.\n\n\"On top of the cost of shipping the cars from say from Dubai via Djibouti, we have to deal with multiple taxes to the government, making this one of the toughest businesses to be in, even though it's seen as lucrative.\"\n\nThe Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority says both commercial and private vehicles imported into the country can be subjected to five different types of taxes.\n\nHowever, despite the heavy tax burden there is a rise in the numbers of car imports.\n\nIn 2016, government records show that 110,000 cars were imported to Ethiopia, an increase of more than 50% on the previous two years.\n\nVehicles to be used for public transport are exempt from some import taxes\n\nKasaye Ayele, a tariff officer at the customs authority, says there is some discretion.\n\n\"Vehicles that are imported to be used for public transport - we collect a much lower tax of 10% and not all five taxes are applied,\" he explains.\n\n\"But for private cars we check the engine capacity and if the capacity is big, we collect anything between 60% and 100% [of taxes due].\"\n\nOnce all taxes are added to an imported car's price tag, it could cost nearly three times more than the retail price in its country of origin.\n\nBut Mr Kasaye defends the taxation policy, saying it was fair and staggered. He cites examples of discounts given for buying second-hand cars.\n\nIn a bid to encourage people to buy cheaper, locally made cars, the Ethiopian government has given incentives such as tax breaks to foreign car manufacturers to set up and assemble new vehicles in the country.\n\nCurrently Ethiopia produces 8,000 commercial and private vehicles for the local market a year - something the government admits is way below the country's potential.\n\nPrime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn has often pointed out plans for Ethiopia to become a leading manufacturer and exporter of locally made cars.\n\nAt least half a dozen car assembly plants, mostly Chinese, have been set up in Ethiopia.\n\nOne of them is Lifan Motors, which was set up nearly seven years ago.

My interview with him in Moscow did not end well.\n\nDugin posted a critical blog entry after walking out of his interview with John Sweeney\n\nFirst, he dismissed the chances that the Russians hacked American democracy as \"strictly zero\".\n\nI asked him about the depth of Mr Putin's commitment to democracy.\n\n\"Please be careful,\" he responded. \"You could not teach us democracy because you try to impose to every people, every state, every society, their Western, American or so-called American system of values without asking…and it is absolutely racist; you are racist.\"\n\nToo many of Mr Putin's critics end up dead - around 20 since he took power in 2000.\n\nI have met and admired three: Anna Politkovskaya, Natasha Estemirova and Boris Nemtsov.\n\nBoris Nemtsov was murdered close to the Kremlin in 2015\n\nMr Nemtsov was shot just outside the Kremlin's walls.\n\nI asked Mr Dugin what his death told us about Russian democracy.\n\n\"If you are engaged in Wikileaks you can be murdered,\" he countered.\n\nI then invited Mr Dugin to list the American journalists who have died under Barack Obama.\n\nMr Dugin did not oblige but told me that ours was a \"completely stupid kind of conversation\" and walked out of the interview.\n\nLater, he posted a blog to his 20,000 followers, illustrated with my photograph and accusing me of manufacturing \"fake news\" and calling me \"an utter cretin... a globalist swine\".\n\nSuch is the language of the new world order.\n\nA few days later I watched the press conference when Mr Trump closed down a question from a CNN reporter by accusing him of manufacturing \"fake news\".\n\nUnder Trumputinism, the echo between Russia and America is getting louder by the day.\n\nPanorama: The Kremlin Candidate?

She suffers from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a rare disorder of the immune system, which means she is allergic to almost everything, including her husband's scent.\n\nJohanna and Scott Watkins's date nights are very different from other couples.\n\n\"Scott and I will try to watch a show together. We can't be in the room together, because I'm allergic to him, but he will be three floors below me in a room on his laptop and I will be on mine and we'll watch the show at the same time and then text about it as we're watching it,\" says Johanna.\n\nJohanna lives in an attic room all by herself with sealed windows and doors, and air filters to purify the air. She has a severe form of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in which the cells that are meant to protect her from outside threats mutate and start attacking her body instead.\n\nOn their wedding day the couple were unaware Johanna's condition would become so severe\n\nThe symptoms and severity of the disease can vary from patient to patient, but it makes Johanna allergic to virtually everything and can trigger life-threatening anaphylactic shock.\n\nBefore she married her husband Scott in 2013 Johanna did not expect her condition to become so severe. She worked as a teacher and the couple used to love hiking together. Even then she struggled with unusual rashes, irritable bowel syndrome and migraines, but these ailments became much worse after the couple married.\n\n\"There were times three and four years ago, before we got the diagnosis, that if I was extra close to my wife, specifically if my face was close to Johanna's face, she would cough,\" says Scott.\n\nBut it was only last year that the couple realised they had become unable to physically share their life together.\n\n\"We had noticed that when Scott would come in [to the room] I would start feeling worse and worse. My normal daily symptoms would just be aggravated,\" says Johanna. \"And then at one point he went to get his haircut and came back in the room and within two minutes I had started my anaphylactic symptoms and he had to leave.\"\n\nA week later Scott tried to see his wife again, but the same thing happened, and they realised their lives would have to change dramatically.\n\n\"It was this horrible reality that it wasn't going to work,\" says Johanna. \"I was now reacting strongly to my husband. Before this I had reacted to my parents, to many, many other people, but it was horrific when it became Scott.\"\n\nThe treatment and medication that is usually given to MCAS sufferers does not help Johanna, so at the moment the couple do not know when - if ever - their situation will change.\n\n\"There's not an easy way around this problem. I want to keep Johanna safe and me going to see her compromises her safety,\" says Scott. \"One of the ways I can take care of her now is by not going to see her. I'm not going to endanger her life. We're absolutely committed to one another and we're going to wait as long as it takes to see if there is some kind of healing.\"\n\nDoctors are trying different treatments, but none so far have helped.\n\n\"They don't know if I will get well, and so we hope and we pray that I will,\" says Johanna. \"I have had anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction, more times than we can keep track of. My life could end quickly. Life is frail - it can end.\"\n\nBut Scott will be part of her life for as long as it continues, she says.\n\n\"On our wedding day we made vows to each other that till death do us part. No matter what life brought.\n\n\"I can tell you that even if I have this until I'm 90 years old, I would be committed to my husband with that vow and still love him.\"\n\nJohanna and Scott are no longer able to hold each other's hands\n\nScott says they do sometimes get angry and frustrated about their situation.\n\n\"I've had to release a lot of what I expected for myself and I've had to accept what has been given to us,\" says Scott.\n\nHe adds: \"Johanna and I are good at talking, we talk a lot, we try to communicate a lot, so one thing that we've found that's helpful is just bringing each other into what's going on in our lives as best we can because we're not able to be together.\"\n\nScott works full-time as a teacher and then returns home every evening to cook Johanna's food.\n\n\"It's one of the ways that I can care for her, and every other day for the past year I've had one of my dear friends come and they help [me] cook for Johanna,\" he says. \"She can only eat two meals, so she's been eating the same two meals for over a year.\"\n\nJohanna can only tolerate 15 different foods, including spices, so she eats either beef chuck roast (beef stew) with organic celery, carrot and parsnip or organic lamb with turmeric, cinnamon and cucumber.\n\nJohanna has not responded to any treatment so far, including four rounds of chemotherapy\n\nThe couple are currently living in the family home of their friends, the Olsons, while their own home is renovated to make it a safe living space for Johanna. The Olson family have given up using all scented products and do not cook in their house at all.\n\n\"I have had severe reactions to someone smoking a cigarette down the block,\" says Johanna. \"I have had severe reactions to the pizza place that's a mile down the street, and all my windows are closed and sealed in the room with special filters.\n\n\"But just if the wind blows it on the right direction that day and I get even a whiff I can have a severe reaction. The house is quite large and I'm at the top level, and if an onion were to be cut in the kitchen I have had a severe reaction.\"\n\nJohanna has not left the attic room for more than a year, except to visit the hospital in an emergency or to see her doctor. Every morning she listens to a playlist of songs and then might write or answer an email to a friend, or video-call her young nieces.\n\nThe only people she does not have a life-threatening reaction to are her siblings, who help take care of her. Before they enter her room, they have to avoid eating strongly spiced food, shower with a special soap and strip down to their underwear. As soon as they walk in, they put on masks and special clothes that have never left Johanna's room.\n\nDespite all these precautions, Johanna's symptoms still become worse after their visit.\n\n\"I think growing up in America, it's common for us to just think, 'Oh OK if there's a disease there'll be a medical solution, it will be fixed and I'll move on with my life,'\" says Johanna. \"So being diagnosed and becoming this ill, [there was] definitely a grieving process that I went through.\"\n\nBut the fact that Scott is downstairs in the same house and that she can talk to him on the phone is a huge comfort, says Johanna.\n\n\"I have many gifts in my life, many blessings that I have to be thankful for,\" she says. \"And that reminds me to not become selfish and just make it all about me.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Snooker\n\nJoe Perry thrashed former world champion Stuart Bingham 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the Masters.\n\nPerry made two centuries against Bingham, who became a father for the third time on Saturday.\n\nScot Higgins missed a black off the spot when on course to win the deciding frame, allowing Northern Irishman Allen in to make a 44 and take the match.\n\n\"If you don't pot balls at key moments, you don't win snooker matches,\" four-time world champion Higgins said.\n\nAllen, ranked 10 in the world, goes on to face Marco Fu or Judd Trump in the quarter-finals on Thursday.\n\nHiggins, 41, started strongly, a 111 break helping him into a 2-0 lead before Allen hit back to level at 2-2.\n\nA run of 54 saw the Scot nudge ahead again before breaks of 81 and 104 gave Allen, 30, a 4-3 advantage.\n\nThe seesaw nature of the match continued as Higgins levelled before a superb 67 break in the ninth frame forced a respotted black, only for Allen to take it with a stunning pot.\n\nHiggins, the world number three, took it to a decider with a run of 77, but Allen held his nerve to repeat his 2015 first-round win over the Scot.\n\nIn the evening session, Perry took the first frame with a break of 116, before snatching the next after forcing a respotted black.\n\nBingham pulled one back with a century, but Perry made breaks of 77, 76 and 107 and after Bingham fouled the white, his opponent took all the colours to progress.

A few players do now address him as 'Sir' - but that, he says, is with tongue firmly in cheek.\n\nThe challenge, though, remains as tough as ever. Murray has lost five finals in Melbourne in the past seven years, while Novak Djokovic - now the number two - has won the title six times in all.\n\nMurray struck an important blow by beating his lifelong rival at the World Tour Finals to end 2016 at the top of the rankings; but earlier this month, the Serb hit back to win the Qatar Open in Doha and halt Murray's winning streak at 28 in a match of nearly three hours.\n\nMurray is expecting another gruelling clash should they meet in the final here in Melbourne on 29 January.\n\n\"The way that we both play, we can't just hit through each other in one shot,\" the Scot said.\n• None How to follow the Australian Open on the BBC\n\n\"It takes a few big shots to win points, so if we're playing well they tend to be long, physical matches.\n\n\"Doha was good because I was able to see how well I recovered from it: first week of the year, you can be a bit stiff and sore. I pulled up pretty well, so it was positive.\"\n\nMuch may depend on the energy they expend in the early rounds of the competition. The draw does not appear to leave either at a significant advantage, so at 29, Murray has as good a chance as ever of winning his first Australian Open title.\n\nIn the women's draw, there is a real opportunity for a top-20 player without a Grand Slam title to break their duck at this Australian Open. Britain's Johanna Konta is as well equipped as any.\n\nThe 25-year-old, who will be ninth in Monday's world rankings, is on a high after winning her second WTA title in Sydney on Friday, but it does mean she has had little time to rest before a challenging first week.\n\nHer draw appears brutal (although she will not thank you for telling her, as she prefers not to look beyond the first match).\n\nIf Konta can beat 2013 Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium in the first round, she might then have to face the aggressive talent of Japanese 19-year-old Naomi Osaka in the second round and former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the third.\n\nKonta's decision at the end of last season to part company with coach Esteban Carril, so soon after the sudden death of her mental coach Juan Coto, was a big surprise.\n\nThe WTA's most improved player of 2016 was 150 in the world when she started working with Carril, but my understanding is the two were unable to agree financial terms for the year ahead.\n\nIt is a sign of Konta's standing in the game that she has been able to attract one of the best in the business as a replacement. Wim Fissette is just 36 - but already has a sparkling CV.\n\nThe Belgian was coach to Kim Clijsters when she won three of her Grand Slam titles, and has also coached Sabine Lisicki and Simona Halep to Grand Slam finals. A flourishing partnership with Victoria Azarenka only ended when the Belarusian announced she was taking a break from the sport because she was pregnant.\n\nKonta and Fissette agreed to work together after a trial week at Patrick Mouratoglou's Academy in Nice in the week before Christmas. Mouratoglou, the coach of Serena Williams, rates Fissette highly.\n\n\"He's worked with some of the best players on tour so he has the experience and I think he's still fresh,\" he said.\n\n\"He's young, so he still has the motivation which is something very important because when you get older, a lot of guys don't want to travel that much. He's one of the best on tour, so I think it's a good pick.\"\n\nSupporting cast no longer just make up the numbers\n\nAt last year's US Open, Dan Evans made the third round, and fellow Briton Kyle Edmund the fourth.\n\nEdmund, 22, is now a top-50 player, and Evans just a single place adrift after he appeared in his maiden ATP final in Sydney on Saturday.\n\nEvans' creative talents have long been on show, but his consistency is now far greater and even in the defeat by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller the 5ft 9in player showed his serve can still pack a punch.\n\nAll of the 26-year-old's matches bar the final in Sydney went to three sets, so sustaining his form in the opening week in Melbourne will be tough - especially with a Monday start.\n\nEvans, who faces Argentina's Facundo Bagnis in the first round, says it is positive that the matches are coming thick and fast and he was grateful for the private jet laid on by Tennis Australia for the journey to Melbourne on Saturday night.\n\nEdmund, meanwhile, has developed the useful knack of halving his world ranking on an annual basis. Every year, the challenge gets tougher, but he now stands at 46 in the world and in Brisbane earlier this month featured in his fifth ATP quarter-final since the start of last year.\n\nHis forehand is one of the most powerful in the world, his net game much improved, and the physical problems which have undermined him in five-set matches hopefully now a thing of the past.\n\nCramp proved his undoing in the first round of last year's Australian Open, and Edmund will once again have to deal with temperatures in the mid-30s Celsius for his first-round match against Colombia's Santiago Giraldo on Tuesday.\n\nIt was not a year to remember in 2016 for Aljaz Bedene, who nearly decided to walk away from the sport last summer. His love of tennis deserted him - something he relates directly to the International Tennis Federation's rejection of his appeal against his ineligibility to play Davis Cup for Great Britain.\n\n\"I honestly didn't want to play tennis, I didn't want to think about tennis,\" Slovenian-born Bedene, 27, said.\n\nWith his love of the game seemingly restored, Bedene faces Victor Estrella Burgos in the opening round.

Daria Gavrilova beat two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova en route to the fourth round in the first Australian Open she had contested since switching nationalities from Russia.\n\nBroady, at 95 in the world, is competing in her first main draw in Melbourne and can never be discounted given the potency of her serve.\n\nThe one high profile name missing from the main draw is Laura Robson, whose defeat in the first round of qualifying was her seventh in a row. In truth, it was a hugely erratic performance undermined by a chronic loss of confidence.\n\nRobson is still only 22, though, and working seriously for the first time with a sports psychologist.

And Trump just declared it obsolete?\"\n\n\"Well, I'll be there - we'll be there soon - I would say we'll be here for a little while but and it looks like she'll be here first.

Then of course we will work with him on all levels.\"", "President-elect Donald Trump is making the headlines on several of Monday's front pages.\n\nHis pledge to offer Britain a \"quick\" trade deal dominates the front page of the Times.\n\nThe president-elect tells the paper that Brexit will be a \"great thing\" and predicts that other countries will follow Britain's lead in leaving the EU, which he says has been \"deeply damaged\" by the migration crisis.\n\nMr Trump's interview is also the lead story for the Daily Telegraph which sees his remarks as a \"boost\" for Theresa May, ahead of her speech on Tuesday about the government's plans for Brexit.\n\nThe Guardian says Mr Trump has been warned that his \"careless\" use of Twitter could cause a security risk.\n\nThe outgoing director of the CIA, John Brennan, is quoted as saying the president-elect has a \"tremendous responsibility\" to protect the US and its interests.\n\nThe Daily Telegraph says Mr Brennan has cautioned Mr Trump against forging closer ties with Russia, arguing against the lifting of sanctions.\n\nBut the Daily Mail suggests the next US leader is planning a summit with Vladimir Putin \"weeks\" after becoming president, \"as he seeks to improve relations with the Kremlin\".\n\nHealth Secretary Jeremy Hunt is set to pocket £15m from the sale of an education website, according to the Daily Mirror.\n\nThe paper's headline describes the deal as a \"payday sickener\" as the NHS is \"cut to the bone\" while its editorial accuses Mr Hunt of being \"born with a silver thermometer in his mouth\" and calls on him to \"study his conscience\".\n\nThe Times agrees that the windfall is \"politically embarrassing\" following the government's disputes with junior doctors and GPs. The Daily Telegraph claims the deal will make Mr Hunt \"the richest member of the cabinet\".\n\nJeremy Hunt set to receive a £15m windfall is \"politcally embarrassing\" says the Times\n\nMeanwhile the Daily Mail's lead story highlights what it calls \"the scale of abuse of the crumbling NHS by health tourists\".\n\nIt claims a hospital in Luton is attempting to recoup £350,000 from a Nigerian woman, who is said to have flown to Britain to give birth to twins.\n\nThe cancer specialist, Professor Meirion Thomas, tells the paper that similar, \"staggering\" debts should be investigated by NHS fraud officers, as \"patients don't arrive at specialist hospitals with serious illnesses by chance\".\n\nThe Sun says the half-brother of Prince Harry's American girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has apologised after he was arrested for alleged gun offences in the US. Thomas Markle Jr blamed the incident on a drunken argument, prompting the headline \"Soz Sis!

As a BBC journalist I am required to be politically impartial; but as my distinguished colleague Nick Robinson has argued, I am under no obligation to be impartial about democracy (as against tyranny, for example).\n\nNor am I under any obligation to be impartial about truth, as against lies. The possibility of truth is a necessary condition for democracy.\n\nFake news is an assault on truth. Therefore it behoves all right-thinking journalists to combat fake news.\n\nFirst of all, what is fake news? Fake news is of three kinds.\n\nFirst, false information deliberately circulated by those who have scant regard for the truth but hope to advance particular (often extreme) political causes and make money out of online traffic.\n\nSecond, false information that is circulated by journalists who do not realise it is false.\n\nFreddie Starr: The subject of one of the most famous newspaper headlines\n\nAll unintended errors of fact in the history of journalism, from hoaxes to exaggerated headlines - Freddie Starr never ate a hamster - fall into this category.\n\nThat is why I say fake news is nothing new: in fact it is as old as journalism, if not older. The point about this kind of fake news is it often contains at least a scintilla of truth.\n\nThird, news that causes Donald Trump discomfort. At his press conference last week, the president-elect targeted CNN, conflating that organisation with Buzzfeed.\n\nCNN says it had corroborated accusations about Mr Trump that it published; whereas Buzzfeed published a dossier that contained allegations that hadn't been corroborated.\n\nMr Trump was discomfited by CNN; therefore he described it as fake news.\n\nThe first kind of fake news - deliberate lies - has been energised by the viral power of social media.\n\nThe Pope didn't back Mr Trump; nor did Denzel Washington. But millions may have believed one or both those propositions, and their originators got rich on the lie.\n\nThe third kind of fake news isn't really fake at all.\n\nIt's simply news that some people don't like to acknowledge, and wish to silence.\n\nBut if you believe that the media should be free to scrutinise the use and abuse of power, and so hold power to account, the silencing of legitimate questions through the abusive epithet \"fake news\" is clearly anti-democratic.\n\nThe first two kinds of fake news are, to varying degrees, hostile to the democratic process.\n\nA useful distinction would describe the second as false news rather than fake news.\n\nBut with the third kind, it is the use of the term \"fake news\", rather than what it is describing, that is dangerous.\n\nPope Francis was reported to have backed Donald Trump's presidency campaign\n\nThe first kind spreads deceit and pollutes the well of civility on which strong societies must draw.\n\nThe second - false news - damages trust in the media. In the third instance, use of the term \"fake news\" numbs scrutiny and also pollutes that well of civility.\n\nAll proper journalists reside in the zone between truth and falsehood.\n\nSome try harder than others to resist the magnetic pull - and it can be very strong at times - of the latter. Most, if they have any self-worth, steer clear of the outright lies that make up that first kind of fake news.\n\nMany big media organisations recognise fake news is dangerous and are acting against it.\n\nFacebook, after initially expressing scepticism about the influence of fake news in the presidential election, has started taking it very seriously indeed.\n\nThe BBC is boosting Reality Check, a fact-checking service that will work with Facebook. Several years ago Channel 4 News launched Fact Check, which fulfilled a similar role.\n\nThese are all pleasing, practical measures. But there is a deeper philosophical issue at stake, concerning the role of truth in our society.\n\nNo society can conduct the informed conversation necessary for civility, the resolution of disputes, or the judicious exercise of power and law if there is no agreement on basic facts.\n\nYou cannot choose how to go forward if you cannot agree what just happened.\n\nTherefore it is necessary to agree that there are facts, or true propositions.\n\nIn the West today, largely but not solely because of the advent of digital media, the truth is more vulnerable than it has been for a long time.\n\nThis is partly because whereas falsity comes by degrees, truth is absolute; and therefore anything that chips away at its granite surface leaves a big dent.\n\nIt is also because, as I wrote in the last editorial of the Independent newspaper (now solely online), the truth is hard, expensive and boring. Whereas lies are easy, cheap and thrilling.\n\nFinding out the real story takes time and effort. Time and effort cost money. Once you've found the real story, you have to verify it: that's what makes it true.\n\nBut verification also takes time and effort. And sometimes, the thrilling tip-off you received turns out to be no more than that.\n\nIt would be amazing if the Moon were made of cheese, or Elvis Presley still lived. But it isn't, and he doesn't.\n\nFake news of the second kind - the sort of exaggerations and errors that are inevitable in journalism, and which I call false news - will always be with us.\n\nBut fake news of the first kind has to be combated, and use of the term to silence scrutiny deserves the same harsh treatment.\n\nYou cannot conduct either of these battles, however, unless you have the preliminary belief that truth is not only possible, but vital.\n\nAnd where might that come from? I'd suggest you start with the philosophers Bertrand Russell, AJ Ayer, and Simon Blackburn.", "Dashcam footage has captured a Kansas State Trooper's near miss with an oncoming truck.\n\nIt shows the moment the trooper swerved to avoid the vehicle, which had lost control in icy conditions.", "Nearly 20 years ago, poor families in Coahuila state in Mexico were offered an unusual handout from a social programme called Piso Firme. It was not a place at school, a vaccination, food, or even money. It was $150 (£118) worth of ready-mixed concrete.\n\nWorkers would drive concrete mixers through poor neighbourhoods, stop outside a home, and pour the porridge-like mixture through the door, right into the living room.\n\nThey showed the occupants how to spread and smooth the gloop, and made sure they knew how long to leave it to dry. Then they drove off to the next house.\n\nPiso Firme means \"firm floor\", and when economists studied the programme, they found that the ready-mixed concrete dramatically improved children's education.\n\n50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations that have helped create the economic world we live in.\n\nIt 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.\n\nPreviously, the floors were made of dirt, which let parasitic worms thrive, spreading diseases that stunted kids' growth and made them miss school.\n\nConcrete floors are much easier to keep clean. So the kids were healthier, and their test scores improved. Economists also found that parents in the programme's households became happier, less stressed and less prone to depression.\n\nThat seems to be $150 well spent.\n\nBeyond the poor neighbourhoods of Coahuila state, concrete often has a less wonderful reputation.\n\nIt has become a byword for ecological carelessness: concrete is made of sand, water and cement, and cement takes a lot of energy to produce. The production process also releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.\n\nThat might not be such a problem in itself - after all, steel production needs a lot more energy - except that the world consumes absolutely vast quantities of concrete: five tonnes, per person, per year. As a result, the cement industry emits as much greenhouse gas as aviation.\n\nArchitecturally, concrete implies lazy, soulless structures: ugly office blocks for provincial bureaucrats, multi-storey car parks with stairwells that smell of urine.\n\nPortsmouth's Tricorn Centre was regularly described as the UK's ugliest building, before its demolition\n\nYet it can also be shaped into forms that many people find beautiful - think of the Sydney Opera House or Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia cathedral.\n\nPerhaps it is no surprise that concrete can evoke such confusing emotions.\n\nThe very nature of the stuff feels hard to pin down. \"Is it stone? Yes and no,\" opined the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1927. \"Is it plaster? Yes and no. Is it brick or tile? Yes and no. Is it cast iron? Yes and no.\"\n\nHowever, the fact that it is a great building material has been recognised for millennia - perhaps even since the dawn of human civilization.\n\nThere is a theory that the very first settlements, the first time that humans gathered together outside their kinship groups - nearly 12,000 years ago at Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey - was because someone had figured out how to make cement, and therefore concrete.\n\nOscar Niemeyer's Brasilia Cathedral was constructed from 16 concrete columns, each weighing 90 tonnes\n\nIt was certainly being used over 8,000 years ago by desert traders to make secret underground cisterns, some of which still exist in modern day Jordan and Syria. The Mycenaeans used it over 3,000 years ago to make tombs you can see in the Peloponnese in Greece.\n\nThe Romans were also serious about the stuff.\n\nUsing a naturally occurring cement from volcanic ash deposits at Puteoli, near Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, they built their aqueducts and their bathhouses with concrete.\n\nWalk into the Pantheon in Rome, a building that will soon celebrate its 1,900th birthday. Gaze up at what was the largest dome on the planet for centuries, arguably until 1881.\n\nYou're looking at concrete. It is shockingly modern.\n\nMany Roman brick buildings are long gone - but not because the bricks themselves have decayed. They've been taken apart, cannibalised for parts. Roman bricks can be used to make modern buildings.\n\nBut the concrete Pantheon? One of the reasons it has survived for so long is because the solid concrete structure is absolutely useless for any other purpose.\n\nBricks can be reused, concrete cannot. It can only be reduced to rubble. And the chances of it becoming rubble depend on how well it is made.\n\nBad concrete - too much sand, too little cement - is a death-trap in an earthquake. But well-made concrete is waterproof, storm proof, fireproof, strong and cheap.\n\nThat is the fundamental contradiction of concrete: incredibly flexible during construction, utterly inflexible afterwards.\n\nIn the hands of an architect or a structural engineer, concrete is a remarkable material. You can pour it into a mould, set it to be slim and stiff and strong in almost any shape you like. It can be dyed, or grey, it can be rough or polished smooth like marble.\n\nBut the moment the building is finished, the flexibility ends: cured concrete is a stubborn, unyielding material.\n\nPerhaps that is why the material has become so associated with arrogant architects and autocratic clients - people who believe that their visions are eternal, rather than likely to need deconstructing and reconstructing as circumstances change.\n\nIn a million years, when our steel has rusted and our wood has rotted, concrete will remain.\n\nBut many of the concrete structures we're building today will be useless within decades. That's because, over a century ago, there was a revolutionary improvement in concrete - but it's an improvement with a fatal flaw.\n\nIn 1867, a French gardener, Joseph Monier, was unhappy with the available range of flower pots, and devised concrete pots, reinforced with a steel mesh.\n\nWell-made reinforced concrete is much stronger and more practical\n\nLess than 20 years later, the elegant idea of pre-stressing the steel was patented. This allowed engineers to use much less of it, and less concrete too.\n\nReinforced concrete is much stronger and more practical than the unreinforced stuff. It can span larger gaps, allowing concrete to soar in the form of bridges and skyscrapers.\n\nBut if cheaply made, it can rot from the inside as water gradually seeps in through tiny cracks, and rusts the steel.\n\nThis process is currently destroying infrastructure across the United States. In 20 or 30 years' time, China will be next.\n\nChina poured more concrete in the three years after 2008 than the United States poured during the entire 20th Century, and nobody thinks that it was all made to exacting standards.\n\nThere are many schemes to make concrete last longer, including special treatments to prevent water getting through to the steel.\n\nThere is \"self-healing\" concrete, full of bacteria that secrete limestone, which re-seals any cracks. And \"self-cleaning\" concrete, infused with titanium dioxide, breaks down smog, keeping the concrete sparkling white.\n\nThe concrete sails of Rome's Dives in Misecordia church include titanium dioxide\n\nImproved versions of the technology may even give us street surfaces that can clean up cars' exhaust fumes.\n\nResearchers are trying to make concrete with less energy use and fewer carbon emissions. The environmental rewards for success will be high.\n\nYet ultimately, there are many more things we could be doing with the simple, trusted technology we already have.\n\nHundreds of millions of people around the world live in dirt-floor houses. Their lives could be improved with a programme like Piso Firme. Other studies have shown large gains from laying concrete roads in rural Bangladesh - improving school attendance, agricultural productivity and boosting farm workers' wages.\n\nPerhaps concrete serves us best when we use it simply.\n\nTim Harford writes the Financial Times's Undercover Economist column. 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy is broadcast on the BBC World Service.

His 17th second-innings ton matches the record of Sachin Tendulkar, in 136 fewer knocks, while his average when India successfully pursue a score is 90.90.\n\nThis, though, in his first match since being appointed one-day captain, was perhaps his greatest effort, guiding India to their joint-second-highest chase.\n\nWhen England's pace bowlers ran through the top order, he looked to be playing a lone hand, with effortless drives on both sides of the wicket and breathless running.\n\nLater, in the company of Jadhav, he found ways to hit some extraordinary sixes over the leg side, the fourth of his five maximums overall bringing up his 27th ODI century.\n\nThe biggest surprise was that he did not complete the job, miscuing a Stokes slower ball to David Willey at cover and sending a raucous and partisan Pune silent.\n\nFor all of Kohli's brilliance, this game would not have been won without the efforts of Jadhav, a 31-year-old playing only his 13th ODI, on his home ground.\n\nThe right-hander's counter-attacking reversed the momentum and he actually contributed 102 of the 200 runs he shared with the skipper for the fifth wicket.\n\nThey rendered the England attack impotent, only Chris Woakes went for an economy rate of under 6.7 an over, with Adil Rashid and Stokes particularly wayward.\n\nFavouring the leg side, Jadav's hundred was the sixth fastest by an India batsman in ODIs, but after Kohli fell he struggled with cramp and pulled Jake Ball to deep square leg.\n\nHowever, a nerveless Hardik Pandya made an unbeaten 40 and Ravichandran Ashwin's six off Moeen Ali sealed only the second chase in excess of 350 to be completed inside 49 overs.\n\n'England have got to set their targets higher'\n\n\"We have just seen the definition of intimidatory batting, the way the batters from both sides demolished the attacks.\n\n\"350 should be enough but I've always worried about England's bowling in one-day cricket unless the ball does something. Adil Rashid lacks confidence under pressure.

That's a very special win for us.\n\n\"The moment he came to the crease, Jadhav started hitting the ball really well and I said, 'if we get to 150 here, they will press the panic button - watch'.\n\n\"It was a very, very special partnership that I'll remember for a long time.\"\n\nEngland captain Eoin Morgan: \"We had the runs on the board. We wanted to bowl first to see what a good score was. You post 350 and you think you're in the game, especially after taking four early wickets, but credit to Virat and Kedar - they didn't give us a chance.\n\n\"We didn't play at out best today, we thought we were in the game for most of it so all is not lost.\n\n\"The batters did well but we had a tricky period between 35 and 40 overs after we lost Buttler's wicket, but Stokes did well to come in and get us in to the game.

but how would they cope with the exclusion of their firebrand top scorer after a training ground bust-up and suggestions of interest from China?\n\nChelsea gave their answer with an impressive 3-0 win at Leicester City that, combined with the weekend's other results, put them firmly back in control of their Premier League destiny.\n\nSo, after 21 games and another weekend of significant matches, how are the top six clubs shaping up?\n\nConte will have demanded an instant Premier League response from his team after that 2-0 loss at White Hart Lane, which he rightly placed in context by pointing out it was inflicted by a quality side with title aspirations of their own.\n\nThe wildcard was provided by the sudden falling out with influential striker Costa that provided an unexpected backdrop to Saturday's events at the King Power Stadium and gave the first hint of dissent in Chelsea and Conte's camp this season.\n\nIn the end, the Italian boss was given the opportunity to prove the versatility and flexibility of his squad in Costa's absence as Willian, Eden Hazard and Pedro provided the attacking threat.\n\nIn the absence of any suggestion Blues owner Roman Abramovich will bow to pressure to sell in January, the priority now is to get the combustible Spain striker back on side and ensure any unrest does not spread.\n\nIf that can be done, then Chelsea can look back at a weekend where their title position was strengthened as they now stand seven points clear.\n\nMauricio Pochettino's side are a growing force in this title race and the 4-0 demolition of West Bromwich Albion was further evidence of their growing authority.\n\nIt was their sixth straight league win since their loss at Manchester United in December -

Manchester City are in a top-four fight now.\n\nManchester United are showing definite signs of improvement under manager Jose Mourinho, but like neighbours City their fight is now for the top four rather than the title.\n\nThey could have closed to within two points of Liverpool with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, but 12 points is surely an impossible gap to breach between United and Chelsea.\n\nUnited have drawn seven league games - including five at home - and the simple fact is they have squandered too many points to make up the deficit.\n\nMourinho is definitely moving United forward, but not fast enough to make them title contenders this season.\n\nVerdict: Top four should be the target.

I don't talk about atrocities against women because there are millions who are talking about it.\"\n\nProtests against the tough anti-dowry law have been growing\n\nHer fight at the moment is against the misuse of Section 498A of the Indian penal code which is a tough anti-dowry law. Ms Bhardwaj is travelling across India, screening Martyrs of Marriage, her first feature-length documentary, in an attempt to persuade the authorities to re-write the law.\n\nIndia introduced Section 498A in 1983 after a spate of dowry deaths in Delhi and elsewhere in the country. There were daily reports of new brides being burnt to death by their husbands and in-laws and the murders were often passed off as \"kitchen accidents\". Angry protests by female MPs and activists forced parliament to bring in the law.\n\n\"It was a law made with very noble intentions,\" agrees Ms Bhardwaj. \"But a law that was made to save lives, has taken many lives.\"\n\nMs Bhardwaj is not alone in her criticism. Over the years, Section 498A has acquired the reputation of being the \"most abused law in the history of Indian jurisprudence\".\n\nWith cases of divorce in India steadily rising, campaigners say that disgruntled women, aided by unscrupulous lawyers, routinely misuse the law to harass their husbands and their relatives.\n\nIt has also been questioned by the Supreme Court with one judge describing its misuse as \"legal terrorism\", warning that it was \"intended to be used as a shield and not as an assassin's weapon\", and the National Commission for Women expressing concerns over its misuse.\n\nMartyrs of Marriage focuses on the abuse of the anti-dowry law\n\nAs the law prescribes the immediate arrest of those named in a complaint, 2.7 million people, including 650,000 women and 7,700 children, were arrested between 1998 and 2015. The accused in some of the cases were as young as two years old and, in a particularly bizarre case, a two-month-old baby was hauled into a police station.\n\nPerturbed by such reports, in July 2014, the Supreme Court ordered the police to follow a nine-point checklist before arresting anyone on a dowry complaint.\n\nMs Bhardwaj, a former journalist, says she began researching the subject in 2012 after \"a very personal experience\".\n\n\"In 2011, a cousin's marriage fell apart within three months and his wife accused him and our entire family of beating her and demanding dowry from her. She filed a false case against us. I was also named as an accused, as someone who beat her and tortured her regularly,\" she says.\n\nMs Bhardwaj says her family paid \"a large sum of money\" to buy peace, but \"even though the case got over, I was not at peace\".\n\n\"The law has become a tool for extreme blackmail and extortion,\" she says.\n\nAvadhesh Yadav's parents are unable to come to terms with the loss of their son\n\nHer research took her to police stations and courts, and put her in touch with the Save Indian Family, an NGO fighting for the rights of wronged men.\n\nThe documentary, which took four years to complete, has powerful first-person accounts from men who have been falsely accused under the anti-dowry law - from husbands who spent years in jail only to be acquitted later by courts; from the parents of young men who killed themselves unable to bear the harassment and ignominy of being labelled wife-abusers; a tearful video message from a husband recorded minutes before he hanged himself; and a suicide note from a young banker questioning the \"one-sided law\".\n\nWe also hear from a retired Delhi high court judge who says the law is often \"used as a leverage to settle scores\"; a former Indian law minister who admits to the failure of governments to deal with the \"abuse of this law\"; one women's rights activist who believes the law must be amended; while a second insists that \"cases of misuse are few\" and the law must remain unchanged to protect women from dowry abuse.\n\nMs Bhardwaj, however, insists that laws must be gender neutral.\n\n\"You cannot deny it saying the number of such cases is small. In the past few years, thousands of people have reached out to me for help and I've referred them to the Save Indian Family. In Delhi, I'm told that 24% of calls to women's helplines are from men in distress. Lives are being destroyed. People are killing themselves.\"\n\nShe now wants to organise a screening of Martyrs of Marriage for Indian MPs.\n\n\"I have shown the documentary to judges, police officials and magistrates, activists and general public, men and women impacted by the law. I have received a tremendous response from the viewers. Now I want to take it to the parliament, to lobby for a change in the law to stop its misuse.\"\n\nRetired Delhi judge SN Dhingra says the anti-dowry law is often used to settle scores\n\nIn recent months, Ms Bhardwaj has also been speaking out against false rape cases. After the December 2012 gang rape of a young woman on a bus in the Indian capital, Delhi, and her subsequent death, India introduced Section 376, a tough new anti-rape law.\n\nSince then, there has been a surge in the registration of rape cases, amid reports from courts that many are filed by women after a consensual relationship has gone sour or to settle other disputes.\n\nJudges across India have warned against its misuse and the Delhi Commission for Women has said that 53.2% of the rape cases filed between April 2013 and July 2014 were found to be false.\n\nIndia's Supreme Court has also questioned the abuse of the anti-dowry law by some women\n\nMs Bhardwaj, too, has often taken to social media to speak up for men accused in false cases, attracting a severe backlash - she regularly gets trolled on social media, feminists and women's rights activists accuse her of bias, she's been called a \"pimp for rapists\" and is berated for her \"love for rapists\".\n\nEven her two-year-old niece has been dragged into the sordid debate by internet trolls who claim to feel sorry for the toddler \"for having an aunt like her\".\n\nBut Ms Bhardwaj remains unfazed. \"Some feminists say it's politically incorrect for me to fight for men, but I want justice for everyone, regardless of their gender. My work is not against women. My work is against injustice.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Sport\n\nAfter a winter break the BBC Sport and A Question of Sport's weekly quiz is back - have you been paying attention to what's been going on in the world of sport in the past week?", "Netflix took a decision to invest in original content\n\nHundreds of movies disappeared from Netflix over 2016, the result of the streaming service’s decision to end several key content deals with top studios and distributors.\n\nIt was a brave move - particularly given that its main rivals, such as Hulu, jumped at the chance to take on some of those titles Netflix decided it no longer wanted.\n\nThe reason for the cull? Original content.\n\nNetflix was being bold - its aspirations were no longer to be your on-demand DVD collection, but instead the place where you discovered and consumed new and exclusive shows.\n\nSo rather than pay money out to studios for the right to show existing content, it instead ploughed its cash into shows such as Stranger Things, The Crown, Luke Cage and the remake of Gilmore Girls.\n\nIn 2016, those “Netflix Originals” - already a term you could argue has become synonymous with quality - came thick and fast.\n\nThe firm said it produced 600 hours of original programming last year - and intends to raise that to about 1,000 hours in 2017. Its budget to achieve that is $6bn (£4.9bn) - a billion more than last year.\n\nOn Wednesday we learned the company has been rewarded handsomely for putting its eggs in the original content basket. After hours trading on Wednesday saw the company’s stock rise by as much as 9% on the news it had added 7.05 million new subscribers in the last three months of 2016.\n\nThat’s far greater than the 5.2 million they had anticipated, and left them ending the year with 93.8 million subscribers in total - and an expectation of breaking the symbolic 100 million mark by the end of March.\n\nThe kids of Stranger Things become overnight superstars - and helped earn Netflix millions\n\nIn all, 2016 saw Netflix take in $8.83bn (£7.1bn) in revenue - with a profit of $186.7m (£151.6m).\n\nAll looking good, then - but there’s still work to do.\n\nIn a letter to shareholders, Netflix underlined, as it is obliged to do, the potential risks to its success going forward - chiefly globalisation and competition.\n\nWhile international expansion has been rapid, with the majority of the new sign-ups are coming from outside of the US, it will require a lot of expenditure for Netflix to dominate with original content in the 189 other countries it serves.\n\nIt has put some of its budget into non-English language shows, such as “3%”, a Portuguese sci-fi series. Intriguingly, Netflix noted that many English viewers opted to watch the dubbed version, providing an unexpected added audience.\n\nStill, when local TV players kick into action and give up so-called linear TV - episodes once a week, and so on - in favour of Netflix’s model there’s a chance the company’s head start could be clawed back.\n\nThe company notes that the BBC became the first “major linear network” to push into a “binge-first” strategy, and it expects American network HBO to follow suit pretty soon.\n\nThe company also took a somewhat unusual political step in its earnings, drawing attention to the ongoing debate over so-called net neutrality.\n\nNet neutrality is the concept that all data traffic on the internet is treated equally - and that internet service providers (ISPs) cannot, for example, charge extra for data-heavy services like video streaming.\n\nThe cost could be passed on to either companies like Netflix or the consumer - but is currently not allowed. However, there are concerns the incoming Trump administration may abolish the current laws that ensure net neutrality.\n\nNetflix said any weakening of net neutrality laws would not affect its business in any significant way, but stressed, as many advocates have done, that it would hinder competition across the board.\n\n“Strong net neutrality is important to support innovation and smaller firms,” the company wrote.\n\n\"No one wants ISPs to decide what new and potentially disruptive services can operate over their networks, or to favour one service over another. We hope the new US administration and Congress will recognise that keeping the network neutral drives job growth and innovation.”\n\nFinally, Netflix reiterated its reluctance to get into the business of broadcasting live sport - something the company argued was the last real incentive for someone to have a traditional cable or satellite subscription.\n\nMy hunch there is that it’s biding its time.\n\nNetflix boss Reid Hastings said his company was not interested in going after sports rights\n\nRight now, sports rights - even for just one market - cost astronomical amounts of cash.\n\nBut if big cable firms continue to be weakened by the likes of Netflix, their spending power will decrease. At which point the new players could see the prospect of getting a far better deal than if they were to go after it today.\n\nWhat Netflix has made clear is that it’s no longer content with signing up content to show only in select markets, it’s instead focusing on deals that can be shown in every country.\n\nHow much would global rights to the Premier League be worth, I wonder?\n\nFollow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook\n• None Netflix to allow TV and movie downloads", "Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness are pictured after being sworn in as first and deputy first ministers of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2007 - they were later to be dubbed the 'Chuckle Brothers'", "So the pendulum swings again. They are polar opposites, inversions, thesis and antithesis, from the skinny kid with the funny name to the old guy with the funny hair, chalk to his cheese. It says a lot about the Disunited States of America that two such different brands are its best-selling political products.\n\nIn his final week, President Barack Obama's many admirers are determined to behave with the brittle exaggerated optimism of mourners at a wake, determined to celebrate the achievements of a dear friend, rather than wail over his absence. They may even convince you it is hope that makes their eyes glisten so brightly.\n\nTheir love - not too strong a word - for this man they mourn begs the question: \"What achievements, what legacy?\"\n\nAnd in what way did he fail? For Democrats can blame turnout, blame Twitter, blame Hillary Clinton, blame fake news, but surely the failure of his party to get a third term in the White House was in some sense Mr Obama's responsibility? As he said, his name wasn't on the ballot, but his achievements were.\n\nThis goes to the heart of a question about character: his, Donald Trump's, most importantly their country's sense of self.\n\nPresident Obama often appeared to be deep in thought\n\nFrom the moment of his first victory in 2008, President Obama was pinned in place by America's horrible history.\n\nEven extraordinary actions would struggle to escape the orbit of the mundane, buried under the weight of that primary achievement.\n\nThe first line in the encyclopaedias would always be: \"The USA's first black president.\" So it has come to pass.\n\nBut few, eight years ago, expected him to be followed into the White House by someone who is in every respect his opposite.\n\nYou could argue President Obama has no legacy, the achievements of eight years already lie shredded by the election of Donald Trump.\n\nMr Trump has indeed promised to undo Obamacare, the Iran deal, the Paris climate change deal, new environmental rules and regulations and much else that he has derided as \"horrible\".\n\nBut we can't really judge Mr Obama's legacy until we know how profoundly it will be undone.\n\nHow history sees Barack Obama depends on Mr Trump, in more ways than one.\n\nBecause this is about character, charisma and storytelling.\n\nFor a masterful writer, for a man who quite literally wrote his own tale long before others could define him, it is sobering the way Mr Obama lost control of the narrative in the White House.\n\nWhat were seen as positive qualities, a relief and a reaction after George W Bush, looked less favourable to some as time went on.\n\nThoughtfulness seemed like dithering, eloquence became loquaciousness, \"no drama Obama\" wasn't the soap opera some in the American public craved.\n\nMind you, there was no massive switch thrown where most of America changed its mind.\n\nThe votes involved were comparatively few: this is still the old story of two Americas, as different as Donald Trump and Barack Obama.\n\nMr Obama is cool, Mr Trump is hot. Indeed, Mr Obama is cool when Mr Trump is not. He's deliberative, Mr Trump is instinctive. Mr Trump is angry where Mr Obama is preternaturally calm.\n\nDonald Trump's inauguration takes place against the backdrop of a divided US\n\nOne suspects Mr Obama walking alone in the Rose Garden conducts several inner monologues at once, we know Mr Trump blasts out his first thoughts in 140 characters on Twitter.\n\nMr Trump would eat crocodiles and drink vinegar while Obama soliloquises on maybes and might-have-beens.\n\nIf US politics was a Western, Mr Obama would be the magical preacher, mystically advocating collective action, Mr Trump would be charismatic snake oil salesman, shouting from the side of the wagon, captivating, infuriating and embodying a certain sort of frustration.\n\nWe don't know whether, when the black hats ride into town, he'll surprise us all with heroic feats, or be discovered cowering under the saloon counter.\n\nBut Mr Trump is already much closer than Mr Obama to an American archetype - the boaster -bumptious, self-confident, quick to anger, but with a confidence and optimism in his own abilities, which respect no horizons.\n\nWhat is attention-grabbing is when the horizons have to buckle and broaden and widen in the face of that force of will.\n\nMr Trump is the embodiment of the sort of America who shocks Europeans: brash and vulgar and unsophisticated.\n\nMany in the US, particularly on the coasts and in the cities, share that horror.\n\nBut the truth is this is a deeply divided country.\n\nMr Trump speaks for those other Americans who felt Mr Obama never did.\n\nWhen Mr Obama says: \"The great American hero - Lincoln - could see the fundamental contradictions of the American experiment clearly,\" they can't.\n\nThey didn't want empathy towards other cultures and religions.\n\nThey didn't want, in the end, cool.\n\nThey want righteous fury and clear promises to do something dramatic to make it stop hurting - whatever \"it\" is.\n\nTwo Americas face each other, watching their new president.\n\nThese are an optimistic people, and he is, after all, not a passing politician but their head of state, the person who embodies their country.\n\nEven those who want him to fail, want their country to succeed.\n\nIn mining country, in West Virginia, I was struck by those who had hope for a new future under a new president.\n\nNot faith, not trust, but hope, some what shop-soiled and held together with gaffer tape, but hope nonetheless.\n\nThat, at least, is similar to 2008.\n\nBut what the first line of Mr Trump's biography says is not defined from the first day.", "Donald Trump is sworn in as US president in Washington DC.", "President Trump's first tweet on the @POTUS account showed this image\n\nMuch is written about the Herculean effort to move one family out of the White House and a new family in within the space of just a few hours.\n\nBut in our modern age, the digital moving trucks must also roar into action, as prime presidential online real estate gets a makeover, and eight years of President Obama's social media chat is confined to the national archives.\n\nLet’s start with WhiteHouse.gov, the official website for the President, which as of noon Friday, has a brand new look - and has already provoked mild panic.\n\nMany noted that pages about climate change were swiftly deleted. So too were pages about LGBT rights and various science policies.\n\nBut, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Pages about everything were deleted as what was essentially Obama’s homepage was replaced with Trump’s.\n\nThat means posts about any former policy positions no longer exist on the White House website if you follow the original links.\n\nSo while the web address pointing to the White House’s position on climate change no longer works, the same can be said about Obama’s pages relating to the economy. Unpredictable as he is, no-one is suggesting Donald Trump is about to describe “money” as a hoax.\n\nThat said, on the new whitehouse.gov, a search for “military” will yield 154 results. “Climate change”? None.\n\nNervous internet sleuths have found one reference to climate change, a promise to lift the \"harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rules\".\n\nMake of that what you will. People on Twitter certainly are.\n\nAlso wiped clean was the White House's petition website. On Friday, by 4pm in DC, only two petitions were posted on the site. The first demanded the release of the President's tax returns. The other demanded he put his businesses in a blind trust. If either petition gets 100,000 signatures, the White House has to provide a response - at least, that was the rule the previous administration set itself.\n\nTrump reportedly gave up his cell phone upon assuming the presidency\n\nSpeaking of which, it’s all change on Twitter too.\n\nFrom today @POTUS - President of the United States - has been taken over by the Trump team. All previous tweets from Obama’s team - and Obama himself - have been deleted from that account, but archived under @POTUS44. The 44 relating of course to the fact Obama was the 44th US President.\n\nThe tweets were not, as a smattering of people blurted out, “deleted by Trump” once he had control of the account.\n\nTwitter removed them - and that's because scrubbing the account of Obama’s tweets is a smart move for everyone involved. Had Twitter left the old tweets in place you’ll find yourself seeing people retweeting Obama’s words but with Trump’s identity attached, a recipe for misinformation disaster.\n\nTrump’s first tweet on @POTUS posted a picture and a link to his inaugural address - the full text of which was posted on Facebook. Is Trump having a change of heart over his social network of choice?\n\nMaybe. Facebook certainly offers the chance to speak more clearly at length, and, as the leader of the free world, it would be more useful to post to an audience of almost two billion rather than Twitter’s rather limited 300m.\n\nWe won’t know for sure until about 3am, DC time, tomorrow morning.

Previously researchers had to actually visit the US National Archives in Maryland in order to access this database of declassified documents.\n\nThe records reveal the deep level of concern inside the CIA about the strength of the Left within Labour in the early 1980s, a political force which the agency regarded as anti-American.\n\nA report written in the run-up to the 1983 general election states that \"a Labor majority government would represent the greatest threat to US interests\".\n\nThe agency was particularly worried by Labour's then policy of opposition to nuclear weapons, which included cancelling plans for the Trident submarine programme.\n\nThis report was especially scathing about leading figures on the traditionally pro-nuclear Labour right who had compromised with this stance.\n\nIt said that \"most disheartening from the viewpoint of US interests\" was the position of the party's deputy leader, Denis Healey.\n\nThe CIA documents released contain two references to Jeremy Corbyn - then a backbench Labour MP\n\nIt reported that he still had ambitions to lead the party and as a result \"he apparently has decided to appease the left by attacking US arms control policy, denouncing Trident, and denying he ever supported the NATO INF [Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces] program\".\n\nThe report added that the growing power of the Left meant that \"even moderates like Healey have been forced to ape anti-American rhetoric\".\n\nEntitled \"The British Labor Party: Caught between Ideology and Reality\", the document is a detailed account of the balance of power between left and right in the party and trade unions, as seen by the CIA.\n\nIt also records that leading Labour politicians had told US officials they did not take all of the party's policy programme seriously.\n\nThe CIA was also concerned by what it saw as Europe's large centre-left and socialist parties (including Labour) being too sympathetic to the Soviet Union.\n\nOne 1982 report concluded \"We have long contended that Moscow's most effective allies in Western Europe are not the Communist Parties, but self-styled Social Democrats who have betrayed the original tenets of social democracy.\"\n\nAnother newly accessible document is a record of a 1981 meeting between delegations led by the US Defence Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Margaret Thatcher, who was on a prime ministerial visit to Washington.\n\nThe meeting discussed the controversial American plans for an Enhanced Radiation Weapon (ERW), more commonly known as the \"neutron bomb\", a weapon which was said to be able to kill very large numbers of people while leaving buildings standing.\n\nAlso present at the meeting was Mrs Thatcher's Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington, who told the Americans that \"it is considered unsporting in Europe for a weapon to kill people only\".\n\nThe database contains just two references to the current Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

So what is going on?\n\nThe total number of overnight hospital beds in England fell from 144,455 at the start of the 2010/11 financial year to 129,458 in the middle of 2016 (the last recorded figures). The number of day beds over that period increased from 11,783 to 12,480.\n\nLooking further back into history reveals a sharper rate of decline.\n\nThat current figure of overnight beds compares with almost 300,000 in 1987-88 according to figures from the Nuffield Trust.\n\nThere was a steep fall in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then a more static position between 2000 and 2005 and then a resumption of the downward curve.\n\nThe fall in bed numbers coincided with big changes in patterns of care.\n\nInstitutionalised mental health treatment gave way to more care in a patient's local community so fewer beds were needed.\n\nElderly care medicine changed too, with more older patients cared for closer to home.\n\nMedical advances meant that more patients could be treated as day cases.\n\nAverage stays in hospitals for those needing overnight beds have fallen. There was a similar trend in other healthcare systems.\n\nAs bed numbers fell in England, occupancy rates did not shoot up. This suggests that the health service has been more efficient with its care and dealing with more cases outside hospitals.\n\nOver the first three months of 2016 in England, 89% of beds were occupied on average compared to 86.6% over the same period in 2011.\n\nBut has the system reached a tipping point? Hospital bed occupancy rates have crept up to 95% in the first weeks of 2017.\n\nTrust chiefs have reported days when they have been literally full with a new patient admitted only when one has been discharged.\n\nBack in October 2014, a Nuffield Trust report noted that pressures were immense with demographic change and an ageing population the most significant drivers.\n\n\"Our analysis shows that if admission rates continue to rise, the NHS will need an additional 6.2m 'bed days' by 2022 - which equates to 22 hospitals with 800 beds each,\" it said.\n\nNuffield went on to say that building new hospitals was not the answer and that curbing demand had to be part of the solution along with more joined up health and social care to keep people out of hospital where possible.\n\nThat was their prognosis in 2014. Two-and-a-half years on there have been no obvious signs of progress.\n\nThe drive for efficiency savings will continue but the calls for more investment in the NHS have become louder.\n\nThe Chief Inspector of Hospitals in England, Sir Mike Richards, told the BBC this week that he was \"very concerned\" about the degree of strain experienced by hospitals.\n\nHe continued by saying \"I believe the government will need to put more money into the NHS\" - though he added it was important the money was spent \"wisely\".\n\nThe budget watchdog the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) argued this week that it was inevitable that health spending would rise because of demographic factors and the advance of medical technology.\n\nThe OBR said health spending could rise from 6.9% of economic activity (GDP) in 2021 to 12.6% in 2066.\n\nThe watchdog noted this could put great strain on public finances unless governments raised taxes or cut spending elsewhere.\n\nMinisters argue they have given the NHS in England above inflation increases in funding through till 2020.\n\nThey also say that progress is being made at local level in joining up health and social care.\n\nBut the demands for more money will continue, including from some on the Conservative benches in the Commons.\n\nAnd questions will be asked about the wisdom of reducing bed numbers and whether that can be reversed.\n\nHave you used NHS services in 2017?

They want everything you have,\" she says in the video and to prove her point, after only a few seconds, one of her daughters peeks under the door and calls out to her.\n\nThe couple have a large social media following and their pages are littered with photos of smiling babies, but when they were told they were going to have four children at once, they did not know what to think.\n\n\"When we first found out we were having quadruplets, it was pure terror and pure joy at the same time,\" Ashley explained.\n\n\"The doctors said we only had a 40% chance of having one baby, so to have all four to come at once was a huge blessing and a huge miracle.\n\n\"The odds of both eggs splitting are literally one in a million.\n\n\"But I didn't know anyone who'd had quadruplets. I didn't know if it was physically possible for a woman, I knew nothing about it.\n\n\"I had vertigo and morning sickness for the first 16 weeks. I couldn't eat anything and I lost 20 pounds in my first trimester.\n\n\"My body hurt, my bones hurt and my hips would dislocate every time I rolled over.\"\n\nIn order to support the family, the couple run four businesses from home.\n\n\"We work when the girls are asleep - during their naptime and then after they go to bed, until one or two in the morning, every single night.\n\n\"It's really helpful we both work from home, because every other morning one of us takes the girls and the other gets to sleep in.\n\n\"Having quads was expensive in the first months.\n\n\"They were on a high-calorie formula that cost $25 (£20) a can and needed lots of nappies.\"\n\nThe couple's social media fans helped to ease the expense.\n\n\"My heart was truly touched by the amount of nappies and baby outfits that turned up by our door when they were born,\" she said.\n\n\"There really are amazing, kind, good people out there and I'm so grateful to those who follow our story and love these babies.\"\n\nAshley and Tyson regularly blog and vlog about their children's progress.\n\n\"When my pregnancy announcement went viral, so many people prayed for me and my babies. Now I feel it's my duty to show these people what they prayed for,\" she explained.\n\nAshley insists that she goes about her daily life \"like anybody else, it just takes a bit longer\".\n\n\"We do everything times four. We take them shopping with us and load them into the car several times a day.\n\n\"Just because there are four of them, we can't let that stop us living our lives. We don't just stay at home.\"\n\nAshley described the \"special relationship\" that the toddlers share.\n\n\"There are four of them and they work together to conspire against you, which is really funny. They're definitely tearing the house down.\n\n\"Each set of twins has their 'own language' and talk to each other.\n\n\"If one girl steals a toy from another one, her twin will steal it back for her. They protect one another.\"\n\nAt times, the quads can be overwhelming for Ashley and Tyson.\n\n\"We're first time parents and we're learning as we go like anyone else. There are definitely anxieties.\n\n\"Not many people have raised four toddlers at the same time so you're kind of on your own.\n\n\"I feel like we're doing a good job.

And the collected data can be used by cafe owners to prepare a personal mix for returning customers.\n\nWith more than 500 million people across the region enjoying a daily hookah pipe, this is one of several innovations that the Beirut start-up ecosystem is beginning to create.\n\nNara is the brainchild of Lebanese-born Fady Isshak, Joe Zoghzoghy, and Mark Haidar - the latter now a highly successful US-based entrepreneur.\n\nBut Mr Haidar's start in life was far less auspicious.\n\nRaised in a \"mixed\" South Lebanese refugee area of Bedouins, Palestinians and other displaced peoples, Mr Haidar created his first product, a smart chair, when he was 17 and without the use of electricity.\n\nMark Haidar made his money in the US but is now investing in his home country, Lebanon\n\nSmart and ambitious, he left Beirut when he was 23. Four days later he had received his US visa, after charming the interviewer by saying he'd learned English by watching the \"two best documentaries on America\": The Simpsons and Seinfeld.\n\nThe reason for his swift departure was the beginning of the 2006 war.\n\nHis father ordered him to get out of Beirut and gave his son the family's life savings of $2,200 (£1,785), asking only for him to leave \"$300 for food\".\n\nMr Haidar took his chance, managed to get to the border, and like many refugees after him, travelled through Syria, Turkey and Germany before finally flying to the US and getting a job in a Detroit petrol station.\n\nThe rest was another example of the American Dream come true. His companies include Silvr, a payments company, and Dialexa, a technology and product development firm.\n\nWhile Mr Haidar has invested in a Beirut start-up as part of Lebanon's diaspora, several other companies are starting life in the city itself. And smoking seems to be a key theme.\n\nSamer El Gharib founded Slighter, a smart cigarette lighter that helps smokers quit gradually. The lighter records the user's smoking habits in the first week that they use the device and then sends them notification of times they are allowed to smoke - one of several steps on the way to giving up completely.\n\nThe Slighter smart lighter and app aims to help people quit smoking\n\nAnother (non-smoking) Lebanese start-up is Play My Way, an educational way to stop children spending too much time on their smartphones and tablets.\n\nAt parent-specified intervals, Play My Way interrupts any running app with an educational question and will only return to the app once the question is answered.\n\nOf clearly global appeal, last month the app was the third most downloaded app, not in Lebanon, but in the UK.\n\nOther global players in the tech scene are taking an interest in Beirut.\n\nTwo months ago, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak made his first visit to the city. He was the keynote speaker at the BDL [Banque du Liban] Accelerate conference in November, one of the 10 biggest tech conferences in the world. Tony Fadell, creator of the iPod and iPhone, also addressed the 25,000-strong audience.\n\nEvent organiser Samer Karam was originally a photojournalist in Lebanon, covering all the traumatic events of the region in the early 21st Century. Now, he is probably the most influential tech person across the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.\n\nBeirut, renowned for its nightlife and cuisine, is also becoming a tech hub\n\nIn 2010, he raised $700,000 and founded Seeqnce, one of MENA's first start-up accelerator programmes and whose first two batches of start-ups raised more than $10m.\n\nHe regularly advises the Central Bank of Lebanon on best practices in venture capital and was a member of the founding steering committee of Lebanon's $600m start-up fund, BDL Circular 331.\n\nThe Lebanese tech sector witnessed significant growth between 2009 and 2014 - the so-called \"youth bulge\".\n\nYoung talented individuals have been able to start companies in their own country, rather than having to move abroad like so many others. There are 15 million Lebanese living in other countries, from Brazil to Melbourne.\n\nThe establishment of new incubators and accelerators such as the UK Lebanon Tech Hub - an initiative between the Central Bank of Lebanon and the UK government - is creating jobs, revenues and investment for start-ups.\n\n\"We have already seen the ICT sector here take huge strides forward as a result of incentives, such as the introduction of Circular 331,\" says Colm Reilly, chief executive of UK Lebanon Tech Hub.\n\n\"There is huge R&D capability from academia here and if we get this right, Lebanon can become the tech gateway to the Middle East.\"\n\nWhile nothing in Beirut is ever certain, at least it is now much easier to find that perfect hookah pipe smoke, thanks to technology.\n\nFollow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter and Facebook", "Johnny Wright has several celebrity clients but perhaps none is as famous as the First Lady.\n\nThroughout his time in the White House, Wright - Michelle Obama's personal hairdresser - has become a flamboyant social media star, with nearly 24,000 Instagram followers.\n\nHe admits he's sometimes had to tone down his pics because of his high-profile customer.\n\nAs Mrs Obama makes way for Melania Trump, how does Wright think the FLOTUS has changed American style?\n\nYou can follow BBC Trending on Twitter @BBCtrending, and find us on Facebook.

It might require an additional $40-50m to extend the search operation into the new area, on top of the $160m already spent.\n\nBut the three governments appear unmoved, sticking rigidly to the formula they agreed last July, although the Australian and Malaysian governments insist cost is not a factor in their decision to stop searching.\n\nHowever in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, Australian Transport Minister Darren Chester made the point that any decision to resume the search was \"primarily Malaysia's call\".\n\nThat underlines a problem which has troubled the search operation from the start: who is really responsible?\n\nBack in February 2015 Australia submitted a request to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which regulates international air travel, for clearer guidelines on which country should be responsible for both organising and funding an extended search operation.\n\nUnder existing guidelines Australia is responsible for initial search-and-rescue efforts in the vast areas of ocean off its western coast. But once it was clear there would be no survivors, it became a search-and-recovery operation, for which responsibility is not clear.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe ICAO designates to Malaysia, the flag state of the missing plane, the task of leading the accident investigation, but it is not clear whether that includes running the extended search.\n\nThis was important because by 2015 Australia had shouldered most of the financial burden, and people were beginning to complain. After all, the specialised ships and detection equipment used in the search had to be rented from a Dutch salvage company; any of the three countries could have covered this cost.\n\nOnly six of the MH370 passengers were Australians, whereas 153 came from China, which has so far contributed relatively little, around $16m, although the ICAO imposes no requirement on it do so. The Malaysian government now says it has contributed a total of $112m, but the official Australian figures suggest it has actually spent less than that.\n\nSo why does Malaysia not take the initiative to fund an extended search? The Malaysian Transport Ministry responded to this question with the formula from last July, that all three countries had agreed they first needed indications of a specific location for the crash site, despite that fact that such detailed information in a huge expanse of sea is extremely unlikely to be found.\n\nPieces probably from the plane have been found as far away as Madagascar\n\nRelatives of the passengers have also criticised the Malaysian authorities for being so slow to request recovered pieces of debris, eight of which are now believed to be almost certainly from the missing airliner.\n\nThat debris is important: it has not only helped ascertain a probable alternative location for the plane; it has also helped confirm how the aircraft ended its flight, with Australian investigators concluding that it plunged into the sea, and was not under the control of the pilot.\n\nMalaysia has at times given the impression of being a reluctant lead investigator, happy for Australia to do most of the legwork.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Grace Subathirai Nathan: \"I want to know what happened to my mother\"\n\nAviation expert Geoffrey Thomas describes Malaysia's approach as \"inexcusable and irresponsible. It is their plane, and their responsibility to find out what happened to it. They are walking away from their commitment to international aviation and the flying public\".\n\nThe Malaysian Ministry of Transport says only that \"all decisions with regards to the MH370 search have and will always be in the spirit of tripartite co-operation.\"\n\nIf it is primarily Malaysia's call to restart the search operation, it looks unlikely to make it.", "When Ashley and Tyson Gardner found out they were going to have quadruplets, a photo of Ashley holding the ultrasound scans went viral.\n\nThe couple, from Utah, had struggled to conceive for eight years, but they eventually had two sets of identical twin girls by IVF treatment.\n\n\"When we first found out we were having quadruplets, it was pure terror and pure joy at the same time,\" Ashley explained.\n\n\"The doctors said we only had a 40% chance of having one baby, so to have all four to come at once was a huge blessing and a huge miracle.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook", "Before you can become commander in chief, you must first take the oath of office.\n\nBBC News looks back at the famous words, as spoken by some former presidents of the United States.", "Although a host of big names have turned him down, Donald Trump has gathered a number of stars for his official inauguration celebrations.

Overall, India hit 214 from their final 20 overs and 120 off the last 10.\n\nLiam Plunkett, ineffective on his return for figures of 2-91, was hammered for three sixes in an over, eventually getting a crumb of comfort when Dhoni hit a full toss to David Willey at deep mid-wicket.\n\nEngland were not fazed by what would have been their highest successful run chase in ODIs, with Root and Roy sharing a stand of 100 that kept the tourists ahead of the curve.\n\nHowever, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, England's tormentor during their 4-0 Test series defeat, had Root sky a sweep, bowled Ben Stokes and had Buttler stumped down the leg side, while spin partner Ravindra Jadeja found turn to bowl Roy.\n\nStill England pressed on, captain Morgan returning to form with sixes over long-on and long-off, and Moeen's leg-side scoring bringing him a 40-ball half-century.\n\nWhen Moeen dragged on to his stumps off Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it looked to be a fatal blow to England's chances, but Morgan kept them alive in a fifty partnership with Plunkett that came in only 24 balls.\n\nThe Irishman reached his ninth ODI ton only to be run out by bowler Jasprit Bumrah when backing up too far, taking England's hopes with him as he departed.\n\nFalling short by 15 in a game of 747 runs, England will reflect on a bowling effort that was too expensive and top-order batting that failed to capitalise on a strong position.\n\n'India just got too many runs' - analysis\n\nIndia got just too many runs. England's bowling wasn't focused enough on Yuvraj Singh and then they lost wickets at the wrong time.\n\nIt's unfair to blame England's death bowlers, but they still haven't got that right. Woakes is good but they haven't got another person that they can really rely on.\n• None India's 381-6 is the third-highest score ever made against England in a one-day international.\n• None The partnership of 256 by Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni is the second-highest for any wicket by any opponent against England in ODIs, bettered only by the 286 shared by Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga for Sri Lanka in 2006.\n• None Yuvraj is only the sixth man to make a score of 150 or more against England in an ODI.\n• None England made their fifth-highest ODI total and their largest batting second.

She could not imagine living in a spacious detached house on the leafy outskirts of Paris, just half an hour from the Arc de Triomphe. She definitely couldn't imagine paying just 120 Euros (£100) a month to live there.\n\nYet, with the help of an innovative housing scheme, that idea is no longer a fantasy for the 25-year-old student from Seoul, South Korea.\n\nAn aspiring architect, she wanted to live and study in one of the world's cultural capitals. To realise her dream, she turned away from traditional student accommodation. Instead of moving in with other young people, Mikyoung chose as a landlady and housemate a 78-year-old widow with a passion for patchwork.\n\n\"I knew I was going away from home for university, and that I wouldn't have any family or any friends,\" she says. \"But after the first meeting her, I knew it was going to be perfect.\"\n\nMikyoung and her landlady, Monique, have been living together since October, after they were matched by an organisation called Ensemble2Generations. This organisation and others like it pair elderly people with students, in an arrangement called homeshare.\n\nThe concept is simple, yet it attempts to bridge an intergenerational divide that exists in many parts of the world.\n\nOn one side are older people, who own properties that were purchased when house prices were comparatively cheap, but who may now need some help with daily activities like shopping and cleaning.\n\nOn the other side are young people, who cannot afford to rent a decent flat, but who may have some time to spare.\n\nMonique has got Mikyoung into her hobby, quilting\n\nMikyoung helps Monique with a range of everyday tasks. She carries Monique's shopping in the supermarket, washes up, and has even created an instruction sheet to help Monique understand all the buttons on her TV remote.\n\n\"It's not a big deal,\" she says. \"It's just life, you know. If I lived here, I would have to clean the dishes or take the trash out. I feel really this is my home - this is our home.\n\n\"Every night when I come back, I prepare the dinner and I put on the music that I have learned today. For example, Champs-Élysées or something like that, and we sing together.\"\n\nMonique, who is a retired schoolteacher, is now an avid fan of Downton Abbey, after being introduced to the programme by Mikyoung.\n\n\"We have very good moments together, because we share a lot,\" says Monique. \"We often sit together and watch TV programmes. Everything is simple between us.\"\n\nTurning to Monique, she adds: \"You are like a granddaughter to me.\"\n\nHomeshare is not a new idea - it was first trialled in the USA and Spain during the 1980s. However, experts have recently started to view it as a scalable solution to two problems that continue to cause social problems. While young people are migrating to cities, pushing up the price of rent, many populations in the developed world are ageing.\n\nMeet the people fixing the world in the new World Service programme, World Hacks\n\nHomeshare schemes are now active in 16 countries across the world. Since 1999, an organisation called Homeshare International has acted as a network for homeshare schemes.\n\n\"The benefits to the householder are they feel much safer at home because of having someone else in the house,\" says Elizabeth Mills, the organisation's director. \"They're happier, incidents of accidents and falls go down, and the reassurance for the householder's family is absolutely enormous.\"\n\nMost programmes offer two homeshare arrangements for prospective participants. The first allows the student to live in an elderly person's home rent-free in exchange for help around the house. The second requires the student to contribute money to household bills, but places fewer burdens on their time.\n\nIt costs roughly 900 Euros a month for a student to live in the centre of Paris\n\nSo will schemes like this help solve the housing crises of millenials - and the problems of the elderly?\n\nResearch into homeshare projects in Spain and the USA indicates that participants are overwhelmingly satisfied by the arrangement. The Spanish study, for example, reported that 93.2% of elderly people had benefitted in some way from the programme, while 98.7% of students had benefitted.\n\nThe organisation that paired Monique and Mikyoung, Ensemble2Generations, conducts face-to-face interviews before placing people together. Students even have to put pen to paper to explain why they want a placement, so that their application can be examined by a handwriting expert. Despite this, some partnerships simply do not work out.\n\nA major issue is that people of different generations may not always get on. Monique's previous housemate was a young gardener who spent a lot of time out of the house. When they did occasionally eat together, the gardener did not want to have a conversation. Instead, according to Monique, he just stared vacantly at his phone. But that did not shake Monique's confidence in homeshare.\n\n\"I never doubted whether I wanted to homeshare. I knew there were other people out there… It is a good solution for me.\"\n\nAnd although the gardener did not provide much companionship for Monique, experts widely acknowledge that homeshare is an effective antidote to loneliness - a problem that affects over one million elderly people in Britain, according to Age UK. Helen Bown, a policy expert who specialises in social isolation, says that the emotional support provided by a homeshare relationship often exceeds its financial advantages.\n\n\"People talk about not feeling so lonely anymore, particularly people who are single, \" she says. \"People have talked about having a safety net, particularly at night.\n\n\"I think one of the most compelling things that people have talked about, consistently, is the impact emotionally for people - the positive relationship. The feeling that people are contributing; that they are part of a mutually beneficial relationship, not just a transaction of care and support.\"\n\nThis is certainly the case for Armelle, a 64 year-old woman living in Cergy, northwest of Paris. Eighteen months ago, Armelle's husband died of cancer. Devastated, and fearing loneliness, she got in touch with Ensemble2Generations. Since then, she has housed a 19-year-old student called Blandine, from Versailles, who is studying engineering at a local university.\n\n\"If my husband had been here, I would never have thought of accommodating a student,\" says Armelle. \"But she's like a companion. It's so good to have a presence in the house. I enjoy Blandine's company a lot.\"\n\nArmelle and Blandine have an easygoing friendship\n\nArmelle and Blandine's relationship is like a casual friendship. They relax together in the evenings and chat about their lives. While she was away from the house for a few days, Armelle even allowed Blandine to have a house party.\n\n\"Though her contract says that she's not allowed to have friends over, I know that I can trust her,\" says Armelle, laughing. \"I even helped her organise it.\"\n\nThe house has a large fireplace and a spectacular view over the lakes of Cergy. Unsurprisingly, Blandine is fond of these home comforts, and is not keen on moving into a cramped student flat for the next academic year.\n\n\"In student accommodation everything is in the same room, except for the bathroom,\" she says, wrinkling up her nose.\n\n\"I have a few friends who are offering to flat-share next year. I tell them, \"Why not?\" but I'm actually very comfortable here - I'm not sure I'm going to leave.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find World Hacks on Facebook, and follow the BBC World Service on Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Cricket\n\nLondon Stadium is a major step closer to hosting matches at the 2019 Cricket World Cup, after it was found to have a potential playing surface big enough for one-day internationals.\n\nIt emerged last month the England and Wales Cricket Board was considering high-capacity venues at the request of the International Cricket Council.\n\nThe 60,000-seat London Stadium is much larger than any UK cricket ground.\n\nHowever, a number of other feasibility issues must be addressed.\n\nTo stage cricket, the stadium's seating configuration would be similar to that used for athletics, rather than as employed by tenants West Ham United for football matches.\n\nObstacles to overcome include the cost-effectiveness of turfing the entire playing area and the suitability of drop-in pitches, which are rarely used in the UK.\n\nAnd, even though the tournament, which runs from 30 May to 15 July, is unlikely to encroach on either the football season or athletics' Anniversary Games, there must be sufficient time to convert the stadium.\n\nIf all of these challenges can be met then it is likely the stadium, which hosted the 2012 Olympics, will be used for a small portion of the World Cup, perhaps a one-week window, rather than throughout the seven-week competition.\n\nEleven traditional cricket venues - Lord's, The Oval, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Old Trafford, Headingley, Cardiff, Southampton, Chester-le-Street, Taunton and Bristol - are in line to host matches.\n\nOf that list, Lord's has the highest capacity - about 30,000.\n\nHowever, the ICC is keen to replicate the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which saw attendances in excess of 90,000 in Melbourne, and games held at other large stadiums in Sydney, Adelaide and Auckland.\n\nOf those, Auckland's Eden Park, traditionally a rugby ground, has dimensions that left the straight boundaries incredibly short.\n\nLondon Stadium has previously been considered by Essex for domestic Twenty20 matches.", "Coverage: Live radio and text commentary of every Andy Murray match on BBC Radio, the BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app. Watch highlights on BBC Two and online from 21 January.\n\nI thought I was pretty good in my win over Sam Querrey. I certainly played better than the first two matches. Sam's a tough opponent with a big game so I was happy with it.\n\nI probably warmed up for the match on three or four different occasions. Svetlana Kuznetsova was up a set and 4-1 on court before me, and then all of a sudden it was 3-0 in the decider to Jelena Jankovic. Then there was an injury time-out at the end.\n\nYou start warming up as soon as it gets to near the end of the match and then you just have to wait and hang around. It's really tough but there's not a lot you can do. I was ready to go out there for about an hour and a half.\n\nThe tough part is the mental side of it. You have to be switched on as you might just be about to go on and play in a Grand Slam match. It's about trying to find a way of staying relaxed and not using up too much mental energy.\n\nThe support in the arena was great. The court we were playing on isn't a ticketed court so you get really enthusiastic fans watching. Anyone can come in and watch - I think it's $45 for the day.

He plays serve-volley tennis which you don't see a lot nowadays and he's improved so much over the last few months. His brother, Alex, is one of the best players in the world right now and they train together all the time. Their parents coached them so whenever I was playing with Mischa, when Alex was only tiny he would be on the side of the court with a racket in his hand.\n\nThere's quite a different age gap between them and me and my brother but it's always nice to have your family around you and to have someone who understands what it's like to be a professional athlete - the stresses and everything you go through - it definitely helps.\n\nEveryone was surprised by Novak Djokovic's exit in Melbourne, for sure. But out of the last few Grand Slams he made the final of the US Open, the third round at Wimbledon and won the French Open. Every single player on the tour, bar one or two, would sign up for those results. When you compare it to what his standards are, he'll probably be disappointed. But if you compare it to every other tennis player in the world, his last 12-18 months have been phenomenal.\n\nI think everyone needs to give him a bit of a break. It is hard to keep up the intensity week after week, that's why everyone has been so impressed by the group of players at the top of the game over the last few years.\n\nThe same guys have been there for the last 10 years because their performances in the major events have been incredibly consistent.

So he began an ambitious Google Earth search that would prove to be fateful.\n\nNow his story has been told in Lion, a Hollywood film starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman.\n\nThe image of Saroo's birth mother burned in his mind.

He wanted to tell her: \"I know you looked for me, but I spent my whole life looking for you.\"\n\nSaroo wrote down his experience - including what happened next - in a memoir that spawned Lion, which opens in the UK and Australia this week.

But it says he used the speech to fire both barrels at the political establishment.\n\nIn the view of the Financial Times, the new president made a defiant and uncompromising address, in which he promised to revive the country with an aggressive rejection of globalisation. The paper says his inauguration marked the end of an incredible journey that was propelled by a groundswell of populism.\n\nThe Sun says more than a billion people watched the swearing in of the new president on TV, with 900,000 spectators on the National Mall in Washington to witness Mr Trump give a thumbs up and fist pump. However the paper notes that the crowd in Washington was only half of that which saw Barack Obama become the first black president in 2009.\n\nWriting in the Guardian, Gary Younge says there was no higher calling, no sense of a greater purpose, and no impassioned idealism. He describes the first words of Mr Trump's presidency as a \"crude and unapologetic appeal to nationalism\".\n\nIn the i, Michael Day describes the address as \"lousy\" and says \"it hardly made the heart soar\".\n\nThe editorials have mixed messages for President Trump.\n\nThe Sun says that now he is in the Oval Office, he may be stunned by the complexity of many of the problems he faces. It notes that plenty of people will write him off - but says that President Reagan was written off too - before he changed the world.\n\nThe Daily Mail claims his speech was \"truly astonishing\" - as he tore up the rule book and delivered an inauguration address unlike any heard before.\n\nThe Daily Express asserts that the progressive left-leaning programme, which seemed woven into Western democracy, is now being unravelled. It says this is a profound change, which will affect us all.\n\nAccording to the Daily Telegraph, the inaugural address was what Mr Trump's supporters had gathered in their thousands to hear. But it says that for outsiders, it was an unsettling speech that seemed to presage the emergence of an inward-looking, isolationist America.\n\nThe Daily Mirror says the US and the rest of the world should be \"very afraid\" following what it describes as the new president's \"rambling, pugnacious and protectionist speech\".\n\nThe Guardian is equally horrified, saying his America First nationalism was both \"crude and shameless\". It concludes the reality of a Trump presidency is a \"terrifying prospect\".\n\nA number of papers also leave space to comment on the person whose day it could have been: Hillary Clinton.\n\nThe Daily Mail says protocol demanded she attended the inauguration with her husband - and her solemn face showed the strain as she arrived at the US Capitol.\n\nThe Daily Express observes the former first lady looked more like she was attending a funeral.\n\nFor the Guardian, Mrs Clinton stood stoically as chants of \"lock her up\" emanated from the crowd. However, on a more positive note, it adds that she left the ceremony waving to supporters and smiling broadly.\n\nFinally - despite their disagreements about President Trump - the papers all seem united on one point.\n\nThe Daily Mirror,Daily Express and the Sun all declare that the stand-out person at Friday's events was the new First Lady, Melania Trump.\n\nMany commentators, including the fashion director of the Daily Telegraph, compare her to Jackie Kennedy.\n\nThe Guardian says she wore a sleek ice blue dress and jacket, which was custom-made by US designer Ralph Lauren.\n\nFor the Daily Mail, she did not put a foot wrong, describing her as the \"dazzling new First Lady\".", "\"From this day forward, a new vision will govern... it's going to be only America first, America first\", the US president told the crowd at his inauguration.", "As Donald Trump becomes US president on Friday many will reach for a drink. Washington DC will be whirl of parties, galas and balls.\n\nThe celebrities may be skipping it this year but the US capital will still swing to the sound of clinking glasses and popping corks. Across the country, celebrating Trump supporters will toast his swearing-in with a drink while others will numb their nerves with booze.\n\nAround the world, alcohol will help with this historic transition. In north London, for instance, the Old Queens Head pub is throwing an Armageddon-themed party to mark the start of Donald Trump's presidency.\n\nBut the man himself will not be boozing through his first hours as the most powerful politician in the world. In fact, he won't touch a drop of alcohol on Friday night or on any day of his presidency.\n\n\"I've never had a drink,\" Donald Trump told Fox News after his election last November. Unlike George W Bush, who was teetotal in office after giving up booze on his 40th birthday, Mr Trump has eschewed alcohol his whole life, making him a first among modern US presidents.\n\nDonald Trump's teetotalism stems from the early death of his older brother Freddie\n\nThe reason for Mr Trump's sobriety is because his adored older brother Freddie died of illness stemming from alcoholism at the age of 42. \"It was a very tough period of time,\" he said, that convinced him never to drink.\n\n\"If you don't start you're never going have a problem. If you do start you might have a problem. And it's a tough problem to stop,\" Mr Trump told Fox.\n\nWhat is fascinating is his view that one drink could spiral into addiction. He discussed his fear that he might have a gene that would make moderate drinking impossible.\n\nHis approach to alcohol is also a window into a personality that appears to crave control over others. Mr Trump ordered his children to follow his example. Every day he would drum the message into them: No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. \"I've been very tough on my children with respect to drink,\" he said.\n\nSo how do the teetotal presidents compare with those who enjoyed the pleasures of a drink? George W Bush went dry after years of heavy boozing and swapped a compulsion for drink for an obsession with fitness.\n\nRemembered largely for the invasion of Iraq, George W's foreign policy record might not be seen as the best advertisement for a teetotal presidency.\n\nFranklin Roosevelt (right) had a particular reverence for \"cocktail hour\"\n\nNor might the idealistic but muddled foreign policy of Jimmy Carter, another teetotal president. Life in the Carter White House was drearily dry and a chore for its more sociable visitors.\n\nSenator Ted Kennedy remembered arid evenings of earnest discussion. \"You'd arrive about 6.00 or 6.30pm, and the first thing you would be reminded of, in case you needed reminding, was that he and Rosalynn had removed all the liquor in the White House. No liquor was ever served during Jimmy Carter's term. He wanted no luxuries nor any sign of worldly living,\" Kennedy wrote.\n\nThe moderate drinkers fare better. Franklin D Roosevelt frequently tops the list of America's greatest presidents, the commander-in-chief who defeated the Great Depression and led the US through World War Two.\n\nThroughout these turbulent years, FDR kept a martini close at hand and prized the rituals of cocktail hour, when he mixed stiff drinks for friends on his White House study desk. The conviviality of cocktail hour undoubtedly helped FDR unwind and briefly relieved the immense pressure he was under.\n\nJohn F Kennedy would occasionally sip a daiquiri but preferred women to wine and kept a clear head through the brinkmanship of the Cuban Missile Crisis. But other presidents were more reckless with their drinking.\n\nLyndon Johnson was well known in Washington for his capacity to guzzle Cutty Sark whisky and soda when he was Democratic majority leader in the Senate, a habit he took to the White House. Johnson, who told his doctor after a heart attack that the only things he enjoyed in life were \"whisky, sunshine and sex\", enjoyed entertaining at his Texas ranch where the booze flowed.\n\nLBJ's special assistant for domestic affairs, Joseph A Califano, remembered a ride around the ranch with the president: \"As we drove around we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The president drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large, white, plastic foam cup.\n\n\"Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon.\"\n\nBut the most disturbing picture of presidential drinking is provided by Richard Nixon, a man prone to morose self-pity who medicated his moods with booze.\n\nAccording to his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, Nixon's trouble was that a small amount of drink would set him off and late-night threats of military action were made when the president was the worse for wear.\n\nWhen North Korea shot down a US spy plane in April 1969, an enraged Nixon allegedly ordered a tactical nuclear strike and told the joint chiefs to recommend targets. According to the historian Anthony Summers, citing the CIA's top Vietnam specialist at the time, George Carver, Henry Kissinger spoke to military commanders on the phone and agreed not to do anything until Nixon sobered up in the morning.\n\nBy the early 1970s, Watergate was beginning to choke Nixon's presidency and the president was relying more on drink and sleeping pills to cope with the pressure. On the evening of 11 October 1973, he was incapable of speaking to the British Prime Minister Edward Heath on the phone.\n\nHeath was keen to discuss the latest developments of the Arab-Israeli War but a transcript of the conversation between Henry Kissinger and his assistant Brent Scowcroft revealed the president was too drunk to talk to the prime minister.\n\nRichard Nixon was a warning to future presidents on the danger of mixing hubris with drink. He is a reminder too of the awesome executive power a US president has when it comes to conducting foreign affairs.\n\nWith no previous political or military experience, Donald Trump is unlike any incoming president. His hubris is clear to all and his (sober) stream of excitable tweets prove an impetuous temperament.\n\nNixon's example might make us grateful booze is not in the mix too. But some of the most successful presidents found valuable perspective and balance at the bottom of a glass.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nWest Ham have signed Southampton captain Jose Fonte for £8m on a two-and-a-half-year deal.\n\nThe 33-year-old Portugal centre-back - who spent seven years at Southampton - made a transfer request with 18 months left to run on his Saints deal.\n\nThe transfer includes a possible £1m in add-ons and gives Fonte the option to extend his contract for a further year.\n\nSouthampton's director of football Les Reed said Fonte had the chance to sign an improved deal but requested a move.\n\nFonte, a Euro 2016 winner, said West Ham manager Slaven Bilic was a \"very big influence\" in convincing him to choose the Hammers ahead of other clubs.\n\n\"I thought that he really wanted me and that he sold me the project and the ambition of the club,\" Fonte told the club's website.\n\nFonte made 288 appearances at St Mary's and was the last remaining member of the Saints side that rose from League One to the Premier League.\n\n\"I also have part of my family living in London and they are big West Ham fans.

Here are the highlights from the day so far.", "The political retirement of Martin McGuinness on Thursday due to ill health marks the end of a remarkable journey. Perceived by some as a terrorist, others as a freedom fighter, he ended up a statesman, a journey similar to those previously made by other historical figures from Menachem Begin to Jomo Kenyatta and Nelson Mandela.\n\nIt also marks the closing of a chapter in Northern Ireland's turbulent history in which Mr McGuinness played a crucial role both as perhaps the most important IRA leader on the island of Ireland and one of its most skilled and charismatic politicians. Without his endeavours, in umbilical political partnership with his former comrade-in- arms, Gerry Adams, I doubt if Northern Ireland, despite the continuing fragility of its institutions, would be where it is today.\n\nI first met Martin McGuinness 45 years ago this month, shortly after the day that became notorious as Bloody Sunday when British paratroops shot dead 13 civil rights marchers in the Bogside enclave of Londonderry/Derry.\n\nI remember watching a candle-lit procession on its way to the church where the coffins of the dead were lying and being told by the nationalist politician, John Hume, to keep an eye on one of the mourners.\n\nHe pointed to Martin McGuinness. I followed his advice and soon met him on the steps of the gasworks that served as the IRA's headquarters in the Bogside. At the time he was second in command of the IRA's Derry Brigade. He was soon to become its commander.\n\nHe did not fit the stereotypical role of an IRA commander at the time. He was personable, highly articulate and utterly committed to his cause of getting the \"Brits\" out of the North.\n\nA few months later, following an IRA ceasefire, he was sitting down in a posh house in Chelsea, along with Gerry Adams, as part of the IRA delegation that met the Northern Ireland Secretary, Willie Whitelaw. The IRA said it wanted a British withdrawal by 1975. Not surprisingly, the talks got nowhere and it was back to the \"war\".\n\nIf anyone had looked into a crystal ball at that time and told me that the young IRA commander would go on to become Northern Ireland's deputy prime minister, sharing power and joking, as \"the chuckle brothers\" with his former arch enemy, Ian Paisley, and then would don white tie and tails to dine with the Queen at Windsor Castle, I would have said that pigs might fly. But pigs did.\n\n\"The chuckle brothers\" - Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness at the Northern Ireland Assembly, 2007\n\nMr McGuinness's role was critical in persuading the IRA's rank-and-file that \"armed struggle\" had run its course and the future road to Sinn Fein's holy grail of a united Ireland lay in sharing power at Stormont with its unionist opponents.\n\nThis was tantamount to accepting partition (the division of Ireland in 1922 into two states) and the role of the British state - albeit, as far as Sinn Fein is concerned, a temporary accommodation as a means to an end.\n\nRemarkably Mr Adams and Mr McGuinness finally persuaded the majority of the IRA to swallow the political heresy and agree to the ceasefire of 1994 that was to lead on to the Good Friday Agreement four years later.\n\nA measure of the faith and trust that rank-and-file IRA men and women had in Martin McGuinness is reflected in the sentiment I heard from many of them that \"if it's good enough for Martin, it's good enough for us\". Such sentiments speak volumes of Mr McGuinness and the esteem in which he was held as IRA leader.\n\nThese landmark steps were only made possible as a result of a protracted and fraught secret back-channel dialogue, via an intermediary, between MI6 and MI5 in which Mr McGuinness was the key conduit to the IRA's ruling Army Council.\n\nBut Mr McGuinness, because of his IRA past, remains a controversial figure. There are still some Unionists who would take issue with the tribute paid by Ian Paisley's son who said that by working with his father, Martin McGuinness had \"saved lives\" and \"made countless lives better\".\n\nHis critics can only see him as the former leader of a terrorist organisation responsible for a grievous toll of death and destruction. They will never forget - or forgive the IRA - for the lives of the hundreds of policemen, soldiers and civilians murdered in the IRA's campaign and the number of families who have been left bereft.\n\nBut for me, the true recognition of the journey Mr McGuinness has made came in an interview I did with the mother of Marie Wilson, the young woman who died in the IRA's bomb attack on the Remembrance Day parade in Enniskillen in 1987.\n\nThe intelligence services believe that Martin McGuinness, although he denies it, was at that time the acting head of the IRA's Northern Command that prosecuted the \"war\" in the North.\n\nIn words of moving candour, Mrs Wilson said she respected Mr McGuinness's role in helping to bring the conflict to end and making such attacks, she hoped, a thing of the past.\n• None McGuinness will not stand in NI election", "Sinn Féin's successor as Northern Ireland leader of the party will be announced next week\n\nFormer deputy first minister Martin McGuinness has confirmed he will not stand in the Northern Ireland Assembly election.\n\nHis successor as Sinn Féin's leader in Northern Ireland will be announced next week.\n\nSo who will replace him? Three names are tipped as the most likely contenders - Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, Health Minister Michelle O'Neill and MLA and former MP Conor Murphy.\n\nConor Murphy is a key member of the Sinn Féin negotiating team who has represented the party at the Hillsborough, Leeds Castle and St Andrew's negotiations as well as playing a key role in the Fresh Start agreement negotiated at Stormont House.\n\nConor Murphy has represented the party at the Hillsborough, Leeds Castle and St Andrew's negotiations\n\nAfter his election to the assembly in 1998, he was the party's chief whip.\n\nIn 2005, he became the first Sinn Féin member to be elected as MP for Newry and Armagh.\n\nFollowing Mr Murphy's re-election to the assembly in 2007, he was appointed minister for regional development, a position that he held until 2011.\n\nHe was criticised for the NI Water crisis as minister during the winter of 2010/11.\n\nIn 2012, ahead of a ban on double-jobbing, he left the assembly to concentrate on his role as an MP.\n\nHe returned to the Assembly in 2015 when Mickey Brady was elected MP for the constituency. Since re-entering the assembly he has been a member of both the Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee and the Public Accounts Committee.\n\nHealth Minister Michelle O'Neill has held various senior positions within Sinn Féin.\n\nShe has worked in the Assembly since 1998, initially as political adviser to MP and former MLA Francie Molloy, before being elected to Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council in 2005.\n\nAs health minister since May 2016, tackling mounting hospital waiting lists has been a huge task for Mrs O'Neill\n\nMrs O'Neill was elected to the assembly for the Mid Ulster constituency in 2007, sitting on the education committee and serving as Sinn Féin's health spokesperson.\n\nIn 2011, she was appointed as minister for agriculture and rural development.\n\nThe following year, she announced that the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) would move to a former British army barracks in Ballykelly, County Londonderry.\n\nFollowing the announcement, it came to light that Strabane had been chosen as a more suitable location by an internal DARD assessment, a decision that Mrs O'Neill then overruled.\n\nIn February 2013, it was also revealed that the decision had been questioned by the Finance Minister Sammy Wilson.\n\nAs health minister since 2016, tackling mounting hospital waiting lists have been a huge task for Mrs O'Neill.\n\nIn October, she launched a 10-year plan to transform health service, saying it would improve a system that was at \"breaking point\".\n\nOpposition politicians questioned the lack of details in the plan, which was not costed.\n\nBut it set out a range of priorities, including a new model of care involving a team of professionals based around GP surgeries.\n\nMáirtín Ó Muilleoir has previously been a writer, journalist and publisher of the Belfast Media Group newspapers and the Irish Echo in New York.\n\nMáirtín Ó Muilleoir became finance minister in May 2016\n\nThe former west Belfast councillor served as Lord Mayor of Belfast from June 2013-June 2014 and was broadly praised for reaching out to unionists, despite attacks by loyalist protestors.\n\nMr Ó Muilleoir subsequently stood unsuccessfully as Sinn Féin's candidate for South Belfast in the 2015 Westminster election, but was returned in the Stormont Assembly election of May 2016.\n\nAs finance minister, he was the first Sinn Féin minister to hold a major economic brief in the Northern Ireland Assembly.\n\nHis role has included leading the implementation of the devolution of corporation tax, due to happen in 2018.\n\nHowever, he became embroiled in controversy in 2016 when news emerged about a back channel of communication between a Stormont committee chairman and a witness who was giving evidence on the Nama property loan sale.\n\nMr Ó Muilleoir denied knowledge of alleged coaching of loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson by finance committee chair Daithí McKay before his appearance.", "The film is loosely based on a chaotic night out Woody Harrelson had in London in 2002\n\nWoody Harrelson said directing his ground-breaking live film project was like \"walking on a high wire\".\n\nLost in London was filmed in multiple locations in the capital in the early hours of Friday.\n\nIn a cinematic first, the film was shot in a 100-minute single take and broadcast live to 550 US cinemas - and one in the UK.\n\nBut the project was almost derailed by the discovery of a suspected World War Two bomb just hours before the shoot.\n\nWaterloo Bridge - where the closing scene of the film takes place - was closed for a few hours but reopened just in time for the live shoot to go ahead as planned.\n\nSpeaking after the filming ended around 03:40 GMT, Harrelson was incredulous at the timing of the \"bomb\" discovery.\n\n\"That thing has been there for 70 years and they discover it tonight? That's impossible!\"\n\nLost In London was shot on a single camera, involved a crew of 325 and more than 300 extras who had been rehearsing for four weeks.\n\n\"I would never do this again. No way. It felt like walking on a high wire,\" said Harrelson afterwards.\n\nThere were no major gaffes - although one actor walked out of a scene, forcing Harrelson to ad lib during a phone call until the character returned.\n\n\"It felt like five minutes,\" Harrelson said. \"It was only a matter of seconds. But, boy, those were some painful seconds.\"\n\nThe film was screened in just one cinema in the UK, London's Picturehouse Central, where it received an enthusiastic reception.\n\nThe comedy plot was loosely based on a real-life night out that Harrelson had in the capital in 2002 in which he ended up getting arrested and spending time in a police cell.\n\nThe film opens with the words: \"Too much of this is true.\"\n\nHarrelson, playing a version of himself, is seen coming off stage in the West End to discover he's the subject of a tabloid sex scandal just before he goes to meet his wife in a restaurant.\n\nThe film includes a fight in a nightclub and chase sequences on foot and by car.\n\nMuch of the comedy comes from the scenes with co-star Owen Wilson - and the script is sprinkled with references to Harrelson's past projects, including Natural Born Killers and Cheers.\n\n\"It was pretty thrilling,\" Wilson said after the filming.\n\n\"I had a lot of anxiety about doing it a couple of weeks ago but we practised... and I was really happy to be a part of it.

He believes errors in the reporting of Muslims have become all too common, and has made it his mission to fight for corrections.\n\nMiqdaad Versi sits in front of a rather geeky-looking spreadsheet at the offices of the Muslim Council of Britain in east London.\n\nHe is the organisation's assistant secretary general, but the task in front of him is a personal project.\n\nThe spreadsheet has on it every story published concerning Muslims and Islam that day in the British media - and he is going through them looking for inaccuracies.\n\nIf he finds one, he will put in a complaint or a request for a correction with the news organisation, the press regulator Ipso, or both.\n\nMr Versi has been doing this thoroughly since November, and before that on a more casual basis. He has so far complained more than 50 times, and the results are visible.\n\nHe was personally behind eight corrections in December and another four so far this month.\n\nMiqdaad Versi tweets diagrams showing corrections and apologies made following his complaints\n\nIn the past, corrections to stories were mostly printed when individuals were the victims of inaccurate reporting, but Mr Versi is looking at a whole topic.\n\n\"Nobody else was doing this,\" he tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. \"There have been so many articles about Muslims overall that have been entirely inaccurate, and they create this idea within many Muslim communities that the media is out to get them.\n\n\"The reason that's the case is because nobody is challenging these newspapers and saying, 'That's not true.'\"\n\nWatch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.\n\nMr Versi goes through some of the corrections from December. Five of them concerned a review into integration by Dame Louise Casey. The Sunday Times reported that \"Enclaves of Islam see UK as 75% Muslim\" in a preview of the review.\n\nThis was incorrect, with the review actually citing a survey of pupils in one largely Asian school who thought 50-90% of the population in Britain were Asian.\n\nThe paper corrected the article, and later apologised. As the same story was reported in other publications, it led to five corrections.\n\nMr Versi highlights another article, concerning the Muslim president of the National Union of Students (NUS). She was accused on Mail Online of refusing to condemn so-called Islamic State, when she had openly done so.\n\nAlso in December, he points out a report in the Sun on Sunday confused the identities of two Muslim individuals - one fighting against extremism and one accused of extremism.\n\nHe has met several newspaper editors and has been pleased with the quick corrections he has received in some cases.\n\nBut he is concerned that these revisions are not obvious enough to the reader.\n\n\"Sometimes the corrections lack a clear acknowledgement of the error they made and often do not include an apology. In addition, they are rarely given the prominence of the original article,\" he says.\n\nHe adds that while he is concerned with \"significant failings\" in the reporting of Muslims, the same issues \"might also be replicated for refugee, migrant or other groups\".\n\nOne particularly high-profile correction in December last year - that Mr Versi was not behind - involved a 2015 article in which Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins wrongly suggested Zahid Mahmood and his brother were extremists with links to al-Qaeda, after they had not been allowed to board a plane to the US.\n\nThe Mail Online and Ms Hopkins apologised and paid £150,000 in damages.\n\nAt his home in Walthamstow, north-east London, Mr Mahmood says he has forgiven her. He now says it is not her original false accusations that he finds the most upsetting, but the public reaction.\n\n\"First they were all against us when Katie Hopkins published the article, and then when she made the apology a year later - then they all turn against her.\n\n\"There's no middle ground. It's not just about Katie Hopkins, it's the mindset of people - how they can very easily be led against somebody, or in favour of somebody.\"\n\nZahid Mahmood says he holds \"no grudge\" against Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins\n\nMr Mahmood says he feels this kind of reaction is causing divisions in society, and - keen to do his bit for unity - tells the BBC he is formally inviting Katie Hopkins to his home for tea and coffee.\n\n\"We have no grudge against her, and we would like her to learn and know that we are as British as she is.\n\n\"In fact, my wife's grandfather and great-grandfather both fought in World War One and World War Two. They fought for the very freedom of this country.\"\n\nMr Versi says he wants to improve community relations too. He thinks inaccurate reporting has far-reaching consequences, especially because negative stories are often widely circulated by far-right groups and then the corrections are not.\n\nSome free speech campaigners, however, are concerned about this kind of work. Tom Slater, deputy editor of Spiked Online, says these complaints could create a fear of reporting certain issues.\n\n\"I, like anyone else, want a press that's going to be accurate... but what we're seeing here is quite concerted attempts to try and often ring-fence Islam from criticism.\"\n\nMr Slater says he found a recent correction to a story about a suspected \"honour killing\" particularly problematic.\n\nTom Slater worries such complaints are attempts to \"ring-fence Islam from criticism.\"\n\nIn May 2016, the Mail Online and the Sun used the phrase \"Islamic honour killing\" in their headline.\n\nMr Versi successfully complained to Ipso that Islam does not condone honour killings and that the phrase incorrectly suggested it was motivated by religion.\n\nThe word \"Islamic\" was removed from the papers' headlines, and at the bottom of the articles they wrote: \"We are happy to make clear that Islam as a religion does not support so-called 'honour killings.'\"\n\nMr Slater says he found that statement added by the papers \"absolutely staggering\".\n\n\"We all know a religion is just an assortment of ideas and principles. What these papers were effectively asked to do, and what they did do, was to print one accepted interpretation of a religion - and to me this was just like backdoor blasphemy law.\"\n\nMr Versi, however, insists his work is about ensuring the facts are right - not silencing critics.\n\nHe says there are many examples where Muslims can be rightly criticised and he is not complaining about those.\n\n\"All I'm asking for is responsible reporting.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. T2 Trainspotting: What would you choose?\n\nT2 Trainspotting has received broadly positive reviews from critics, although many noted it will not have the same impact as the original.\n\nThe sequel to 1996's Trainspotting sees most of the original cast reunited with director Danny Boyle.\n\nKate Muir of The Times said the film was \"like riding a tragi-comic wave\".\n\n\"The original actors have matured well, and while the lunatic enthusiasm of their youth has disappeared, they give their nuanced all here,\" she added.\n\nBased on the Irvine Welsh novel Porno, T2 Trainspotting is set in the present day with the main characters now in middle age.\n\nEwan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremner have all reprised their roles for the new film.\n\nWriting in The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw said: \"Reuniting the cast of Trainspotting for a new adventure 21 years on could have gone badly.\n\n\"But Boyle and his four musketeers give it just the right frantic, jaded energy and manic anxiety.\"\n\nHe added that while \"T2 isn't as good as T1\", it \"has the same punchy energy, the same defiant pessimism, and there's nothing around like this\".\n\nDanny Boyle (far right) directed both the original Trainspotting and the sequel\n\nBoyle's masterstroke is to tackle the passing of time head-on. Where the characters in the original film were blissfully insouciant about their self-destructive hedonism, they are here all too aware of the cul-de-sacs and dead ends at which they've now arrived.\n\nThey are, to quote T2's most striking line, \"tourists in their own youth\" - a description that applies just as much to the audience member who goes to the film hoping to have the same giddy high they experienced two decades ago.\n\nOverall, is it as good as the original? The answer is no - but it comes pretty darn close.\n\nHowever, The Scotsman's Alistair Harkness was less positive about the film, awarding it three stars.\n\n\"The best that can be said about the new film is that it hasn't completely tarnished the original,\" he wrote.\n\n\"Boyle's frenetic, collage-like directing style gives the film a trying-too-hard feel and even though some of it does jolt T2 to life, the cast doesn't always have the emotional range to make it cohere.\"\n\nThe original cast have reunited for T2 Trainspotting\n\nThe Telegraph's Robbie Collin also gave the movie three stars.\n\n\"There's no chance of its successor matching that legacy, but it won't tarnish it either. Though the film feeds on its forerunner, it's worthwhile on its own terms,\" he said.\n\nThe Hollywood Reporter's Neil Young wrote: \"T2 never threatens to find its own distinctive voice.\"\n\nHe also pointed out the female characters \"are very much on the sidelines, even more so than in Trainspotting\".\n\n\"Kelly MacDonald pops up for a one-scene, two-minute cameo (which nevertheless somehow nabs her fifth billing),\" he said.\n\nBut the Scottish Daily Record's Chris Hunneysett was more positive, calling the film \"an addictive hit of pure cinema\".\n\nHe said that while it \"won't capture the youthful zeitgeist the way Trainspotting did\", Boyle \"has created an unapologetically abrasive tale of longevity, loyalty and friendship\".\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

One patient who believed he could cure her cancer, British army officer Naima Houder-Mohammed, paid thousands of dollars for his alkaline treatment, which consisted mainly of intravenous infusions of baking soda.\n\nIn May 2009 Naima Houder-Mohammed was commissioned as a captain in the British army. The following year, tragedy struck. Naima was diagnosed with breast cancer.\n\nShe received treatment and was declared cancer-free. But in 2012, while training with the army skiing team, it was discovered the cancer had returned. Her condition was so serious she was offered end-of-life care.\n\n\"She refused to accept that this was the end,\" recalls her friend and former fellow officer, Afzal Amin.\n\n\"Naima was a fighter. She fought to get through selection for Sandhurst. She fought through Sandhurst and she fought her way through her life in everything she dealt with - army skiing or whatever it may have been. And this for her was another fight in that long list of victories.\"\n\nAs her medical options were limited, Naima did what many of us would do - she turned to the internet for a solution.\n\nShe came across Dr Robert O Young, an American alternative health writer selling a message of hope for cancer patients online.\n\nNaima began an email correspondence with him, which reveals how pseudo-science can be used to manipulate the vulnerable.\n\nYoung is the author of a series of books called the pH Miracle, which has sold more than four million copies around the world.\n\nThese books lay out his \"alkaline approach\" to food and health which has influenced many others, including the work of the British clean-eating guru Natasha Corrett, whose Honestly Healthy brand promotes her take on an alkaline diet.\n\nIn one email Young sent to Naima in July 2012, he told her \"there is a great need for a daily regime focused on… hyper-perfusing the blood with alkalinity\". He went on: \"I would suggest your healing program is going to take at least 8 - 12 weeks. It will not be easy but you will be in a controlled environment that will give you the care you need.\"\n\nNaima set about raising the money she would need - in one email Young mentioned a figure of $3,000 (£2,440) per day.\n\nNaima's family used their savings, ran fund-raising events and managed to pull together tens of thousands of pounds with the help of a charity so that Naima could be treated by Young.\n\nBut the treatment did not have the outcome she was hoping for.\n\nOn one recent sun-kissed Californian morning, we drove up into the hills outside San Diego to visit Young. As we turned off Paradise Mountain Road, the parched golden grass eventually gave way to groves of avocado trees and we entered a millionaire's paradise known as the \"pH Miracle Ranch\".\n\nThe front door, preposterously set behind a moat, is reached by walking across some stone slabs.\n\nAs Young welcomed us into the ranch, our eyes were drawn to an empty spherical fish-tank built into the wall that separated the living area from the kitchen.\n\nNoting our interest, he began to share his alkaline view of the world, starting with what he calls the fish-bowl metaphor. \"If the fish is sick - what would you do? Treat the fish or change the water?\"\n\nHe went on: \"The human body in its perfect state of health is alkaline in its design.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe pH of our blood is 7.4, which is slightly alkaline, so Young is broadly correct - although different compartments of our bodies, such as our stomach, function at very different pHs.\n\nBut then Young's \"alkaline living\" vision becomes complete fantasy. Young believes that in order to maintain the pH of our blood, we have to eat \"alkaline\" foods.\n\nThe main problem with this view is that it doesn't appear to take into account the stomach, which functions at a pH of about 1.5 and is the most acidic compartment in the body. Thus, everything we consume, regardless of its starting pH, becomes acidic before passing into the intestines.\n\nAlso, the categorisation of foods into alkaline or acidic does not appear to follow any consistent rules, with certain citrus fruits (full of citric acid) considered to be alkaline, for instance.\n\nHowever, Young's view that alkalinity is good and acidity is bad goes beyond food. He told us: \"All sickness and disease can be prevented by managing the delicate pH balance of the fluids of the body.\"\n\nHe believes that when your blood becomes acidic, something weird happens, and your blood cells transform into bacteria - a phenomenon he calls pleomorphism - thereby resulting in a diseased state.\n\nThis, frankly wild, view goes against all current scientific understanding.\n\nWhen we put this to him, he simply disagreed, saying: \"Germs are nothing more than the biological transformation of animal, human or plant matter. They're born out of that.\"\n\nDr Giles Yeo with Robert O Young at the \"pH Miracle Ranch\"\n\nThe biggest problem is that because Young believes that disease emerges from acidity, then by extension disease can be reversed with alkalinity - echoing his fish-bowl metaphor that you don't treat the disease, but you change the environment.\n\nWhen Young said Naima would be cared for in a controlled environment, he meant the pH Miracle Ranch, which has a large area set aside as a \"clinic\" to treat cancer.\n\nYoung told us he uses the term \"cancerous\" as an adjective to describe a state of acidity.\n\nSince 2005 he has brought more than 80 terminally ill patients to stay at his ranch for months at a time. Treatment has included intravenous infusions of an alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate - the same Arm and Hammer stuff you stick in your fridge to absorb smells.\n\nThis was the \"healing programme\" that was being sold to Naima.\n\nThere is no doubting the impact of Young's message. In an email, Naima wrote to him: \"I'll be pronounced text book perfect in a few months.\"\n\nAccording to her friend Afzal Amin: \"Naima was supremely confident that, with her willpower and this therapy, she would be healed. That was the overriding emotion in her that yes, I am going to better.\"\n\nWe put it to Young that someone like Naima, in a terminally ill state, who was desperate for a cure, would buy anything, try anything to help get better.\n\nHe responded: \"But I wasn't selling her anything… I didn't force her to come here, it was her decision.\"\n\nYet, in one email Young insisted on Naima paying for her treatment, before she stepped on to the plane.\n\nAll in all, Naima and her family paid Young more than $77,000 (£62,700) for the treatment.\n\nYoung told us: \"The doctors need to be paid and the people that are doing the massages need to be paid and the colonics, but I gave her the best price to make sure that those people were paid.\"\n\nThere is no evidence whatsoever that infusing an alkaline solution into your bloodstream will do anything against cancer. When we raised this with Young, he said: \"These things need to be studied.\"\n\nAfter about three months at Young's facility, her condition worsened and she was taken to hospital. Naima was brought back to the UK and died with her family. She was 27.\n\nAfzal Amin told us: \"They feel utterly betrayed. It's just horrific that somebody could exploit people for money. This is I think for them the most disturbing element, that for something as cheap as money he was just able to destroy people's lives.\"\n\nYoung's activities at the pH Miracle Ranch have not gone unnoticed by the authorities.\n\nIn 2011 the Medical Board of California began an undercover investigation after concerns were raised by a woman treated there.\n\nInvestigators were able to establish the prognosis of 15 cancer patients treated at the ranch - none of them outlived it.\n\nOne patient, Genia Vanderhaeghen, died from congestive heart failure - fluid around the heart - while being treated. Young told us he was \"out of town\" at the time.\n\nAccording to an invoice we obtained, she had been given 33 intravenous sodium bicarbonate drips, each charged at $550 (£448), over 31 days. Some were administered by Young himself.\n\nLast year Young was convicted of two charges of practising medicine without a license, and now faces up to three years in prison.\n\nIn court it was revealed that he is not a medical doctor and bought his PhD from a diploma mill.\n\nWe asked him if he felt remorse for what he had done. He said: \"I don't have remorse because of the thousands if not millions of people that have been helped through the [alkaline diet] programme.\"\n\nWe asked Natasha Corrett to comment on the influence of Robert Young on Honestly Healthy. She told us: \"We believe that our bodies should be fuelled with healthy and nutritious ingredients but we also believe that life is about having things in moderation.\"\n\nUpdate, October 2018: Robert O Young was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison in 2017 for practicing medicine without a license.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nFormer Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard is to return to the Premier League club as a youth coach.\n\nGerrard, 36, who made his Liverpool debut in 1998, will begin the job in February.\n\nThe midfielder left Anfield at the end of the 2014-15 season to join MLS side LA Galaxy and retired as a player in November after a 19-year career.\n\n\"It feels like completing the circle, returning to the place where it all began,\" Gerrard said.\n\n\"However, this isn't a decision based on emotion - it's about what I can offer and contribute,\" he added.\n\n\"When I knew coming back was a serious option I wanted to make sure it was a substantive role.\n\n\"This gives me a great opportunity to learn and develop as a coach, while at the same time offering my knowledge, ideas and experience to the young players at an important period of their development.\"\n• None Listen: Lawrenson feels move is good for Gerrard and Liverpool\n\nLiverpool said he would bring \"experience and expertise\" to the role, as well as \"unparalleled knowledge of the fabric and ethos\" of the club.\n\nGerrard had been linked with the manager's job at League One side MK Dons after announcing he would leave LA Galaxy, but said the opportunity came \"too soon\" for him.\n\nHe is also working towards his Uefa A coaching licence, which is required to manage in the Premier League.\n\nGerrard played 710 times for the Reds, winning nine trophies. He is England's fourth most-capped player with 114 appearances and captained the side at three of the six major tournaments he played at.\n\nSteven Gerrard's return to Liverpool was inevitable once he decided to end his spell at LA Galaxy.\n\nThe former Reds captain has been a constant presence at Anfield since coming back to Merseyside from the United States and manager Jurgen Klopp has never hidden his desire to bring the 36-year-old back into the fold.\n\nGerrard's willingness to work with the younger groups [he is likely to cover under-16 to under-23] shows his acceptance of the need to serve a coaching apprenticeship.\n\nHe is happy to be back at Liverpool and understands how the club works. Gerrard knows he will need to work his way up the ladder and will not simply be handed senior posts based on reputation, albeit a glittering one.\n\nJust his presence around the club and his stature among supporters will have made this the easiest of appointments for Klopp and the club's hierarchy.\n\nLiverpool's statement announced the appointment of a new Academy coach. The return of Steven Gerrard represents so much more than that in the context of the club's long-term future.", "Britain's newspapers are for the most part deeply hostile to the EU, and committed to making a success of Brexit.\n\nAt the same time, they have created a narrative about the referendum result which casts it as a victory for the common man and woman against a liberal, metropolitan establishment that counts the mainstream media - whatever that now means - as its weapon of choice.\n\nThis is one of the more pleasing ironies about the state of media in Britain today.\n\nA brief glance at this week's headlines gives ample evidence of what psychologists call confirmation bias - the tendency to interpret events in a way that accords with pre-existing prejudices.\n\nFor papers who backed Leave, Theresa May's speech showed a stern commitment to freedom and love of country. The Mail, Sun, Telegraph and Express, who between them have done most to advance the Brexit cause, lauded the prime minister's speech.\n\nThe Mail has been a strong backer of May, seeing her as much the most plausible Tory leader in the aftermath of David Cameron's resignation, and contrasting her ostensible gravitas with the lightweights in her cabinet. Just for clarity, I'm paraphrasing the Mail's position there rather than mine, and doing so based on several conversations with the most senior figures there.\n\nPicture choices matter so much in newspapers. I must say I am a very big fan of cartoons on front pages, as this Charlie Hebdo front page from my previous job shows you, and the Mail's use of a cartoon to show the prime minister looking defiant in a way redolent of the Dad's Army title sequence achieves its desired effect.\n\nSimilarly the Sun has her looking cheerful next to supportive furniture (the headline and sub-headline).\n\nThe Telegraph and the Guardian use similar pictures but by using a much tighter crop, a blue background and a positive headline, the Telegraph seem to endorse the prime minister; whereas the Guardian seem to issue scepticism about her chances of success. Interestingly, the Financial Times, which like the Guardian backed Remain, also uses exactly the same picture, albeit with a different crop. Their headline, being longer than most of the others, equivocates.\n\nWednesday's front pages alone provide ample evidence of the way the same events are interpreted in wildly different ways by different newspapers - always and without fail in accordance with their prejudices.\n\nIn some ways, Fleet Street, as romantics like me still sometimes call it, is basically the industrialisation of confirmation bias.\n\nDoes that matter, when newspapers are in swift decline?\n\nOf course it does, and hugely so. Despite their perpetual shrinkage, newspapers are still read by millions of people across Britain.\n\nMoreover, they exert huge - some would argue disproportionate - influence on the news agenda of broadcasters like the BBC, Sky and ITV.\n\nAnd in my experience, Westminster is still obsessed, to a really bizarre degree, with trying to influence newspapers.\n\nThis was perhaps understandable 20 years ago; but today, when fake news goes viral, it seem strange to me how much politicians care about headlines on page 17 of daily publications.\n\nAnd yet they do. Which is why the other important point about Fleet Street is that it is strongly weighted toward Brexit, and in that sense in touch with voters who, albeit by a small margin, voted to Leave.\n\nMost papers are delighted with the referendum result and support the prime minister. Given the sheer complexity of Brexit negotiations, it's lucky for Theresa May that, despite having backed Remain herself, she can generally count on Britain's newspapers to back her every move in Brussels.\n\nThat is not a luxury many previous prime ministers have enjoyed.", "When the Chinese city of Shanghai took part in the three-yearly Pisa test of 15-year-olds' academic ability in 2009 and 2012 it topped the table in maths, leaving countries such as Germany the UK and the US - and even Singapore and Japan - trailing in its wake. What is its secret?\n\nThe life of a teacher in a Shanghai primary school differs quite a bit from that of teachers in most other countries. For one thing each teacher specialises in a particular subject - if you teach maths, you teach only maths.\n\nThese specialist teachers are given at least five years of training targeted at specific age groups, during which they gain a deep understanding both of their subject and of how children learn.\n\nAfter qualifying, primary school teachers will typically take just two lessons per day, spending the rest of their time assisting students who require extra help and discussing teaching techniques with colleagues.\n\n\"If you compare that to an English practitioner in a primary school now, they might have five days of training in their initial teacher training year, if they're doing the School Direct route, for example,\" says Ben McMullen, head teacher of Ashburnham Community School, London.\n\n\"They might have some follow-up training during the first or second year of training - inset, staff meetings etcetera - but there's no comparison between the expertise of someone who's had five years of training in a specific subject to someone who's had only a handful of days.\"\n\nIt's a similar story in secondary school, where teachers spend less time in the classroom with pupils than they do on planning and refining lessons.\n\nThere are other differences too. School days are longer - from 07:00 until 16:00 or 17:00. Class sizes are larger. And lessons are shorter - each is 35 minutes long, followed by 15 minutes of unstructured play.\n\nThere is no streaming according to ability and every student must understand before the teacher moves on. In the early years of school basic arithmetic is covered more slowly than in the UK, says McMullen, who has travelled to Shanghai in one of the groups of British teachers sent every year by the Department of Education to watch and learn.\n\n\"They looked at our curriculum and were horrified by how much we were trying to teach,\" he says.\n\n\"They wouldn't teach fractions until year four or five. By that time, they assume that the children were very fluent in multiplication and division.\n\n\"This is essentially a 'teaching for mastery' approach: covering less and making smaller incremental movements forward, ensuring the class move together as one and that you go over stuff again and again until it's truly understood.\"\n\nIn a world where a lot is going wrong there is also a lot going right. So what if you could build a country with policies that actually worked, by homing in on ideas around the world that have been truly successful?\n\nIt seems that other cities in mainland China may not be on quite the same level as Shanghai. In the 2015 Pisa test Shanghai was bundled together with Beijing, Jiangsu and Guangdong, and they jointly came fifth in maths, behind Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.\n\nIt's also been suggested that Shanghai's results in previous years could have been skewed by the failure to include about a quarter of pupils in the city. However Pisa insists its results demonstrate that the children of menial workers in Shanghai outperform the children of professionals in the West.\n\nThis is one of the key attractions of the system - it helps poor children realise their potential, increasing social mobility. But there are also drawbacks, according to Henrietta Moore of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London.\n\n\"The idea there is that effort brings rewards and so you will get this totally driven sort of idea but what you don't get - and what Chinese maths teachers are currently grappling with - is this creative problem-solving that requires space and mulling and dwelling,\" she says.\n\n\"We're actually much better at this in the UK and they're trying to develop that and learn from us.\"\n\nAnother criticism of the system is that parents work children too hard. An estimated 80% of students receive private lessons outside school.\n\n\"One of the downsides of parental interest in education is they get competitive - they're more competitive than the children - so they want to have all these extra classes,\" says Moore.\n\nSo is this a system other countries would do well to adopt?\n\n\"I would adopt the idea that anyone who teaches maths needs a deep understanding of the conceptual building of maths and a deep understanding of how children learn that,\" says Anne Watson, emeritus professor of maths teaching at Oxford University. \"I would also want to take on board the idea of high expectations for everyone.\"\n\n\"Two things really appeal to me about this,\" she says. \"The idea that everyone can be more of a maths master than I think we believe here in the UK. I also really like the incredible attention to the micro-detail. I'm really interested in this notion of incrementalism and moving things on in small chunks.\n\n\"The fundamentals of this policy are right and it's incredibly inspiring to think everybody can become more freed up by maths.\"\n\nBen McMullen's primary school has already been borrowing some of Shanghai's ideas, he says.\n\nThere is no streaming, pupils are interacting more and there is a \"different atmosphere\" in class.\n\n\"The younger learners moving up the school have an incredibly robust sense of maths, calculation and of concept,\" McMullen says.\n\nAnd for teachers there is another great upside, he says - less marking.\n\nJoin the conversation - find the BBC World Service on Facebook and Twitter.", "Out of the shadows: Martin McGuinness pictured on the Falls Road in 2001\n\nIt is a short flick in the dictionary from \"paramilitary\" to \"parliamentary\"; it's more of a giant leap in a man's lifetime.\n\nMartin McGuinness, IRA commander turned Northern Ireland deputy first minister, switched from Armalite to an armistice.\n\nWhen McGuinness triggered the latest political crisis by his resignation at Stormont, the talk on the street was not of the political future.\n\nIt was that shock picture, snapped through the back window of a rain-stained ministerial car window.\n\nMartin McGuinness' appearance shocked many as he arrived to announced his resignation\n\nIt was about how frail and gaunt Northern Ireland's deputy first minister looked. It has been widely reported that he has a rare condition with a specific genetic link to Donegal - his past and the history that shaped him.\n\nMartin McGuinness' mother was from Donegal. She moved to Londonderry, where, like generations of women before her, she found work in the shirt factories.\n\nHe was one of seven children - six boys and a girl - who grew up in Derry's Bogside in the 1960s.\n\nTimes were tough. The Bogside was hopelessly overcrowded as a result of gerrymandering and the poverty of that time. The McGuinness family of nine had two bedrooms, an outside toilet and a scullery - a tiny working kitchen.\n\nMartin McGuinness says he made the transition to politics in the mid-1970s\n\nIn an interview for the Guardian in 2009, pressed on why he decided to join the IRA, he talked about how, in 1965, he applied for a job as a mechanic. The interview consisted of three sentences: \"What's your name?\"; \"What school did you go to?\" and: \"Out the door.\"\n\nHe became a trainee butcher - an occupation ripe for future headline writers.\n\nThe young McGuinness was drawn to the civil rights movement, radicalised by discrimination and murder on the streets of his city and caught up in the riots.\n\nHe took the violent route. In 1972, at the age of 21, he was second-in-command of the IRA in Derry at the time of Bloody Sunday, when 14 civil rights protesters were killed in the city by soldiers.\n\nMartin McGuinness (left) carries the coffin of IRA man Charles English with his brother William McGuinness (right) at the funeral in Derry 1984\n\nHe had a leading role in the IRA during a time when the paramilitary organisation was bombing his home city to bits.\n\nThe following year, he was convicted by the Republic of Ireland's Special Criminal Court after being arrested near a car containing explosives and ammunition. He served two prison sentences - he was also convicted for IRA membership.\n\nBut he knew how to talk. His leadership potential was spotted early - not just by his own side.\n\nHe was 22 when he and Gerry Adams were flown to London for secret talks with the British government: MI5 considered him serious officer material with strategic vision.\n\nHe maintained that he left the IRA in 1974 making the transition to politics.\n\n\"Reports that I am chief of staff of the IRA are untrue. But I regard them as a compliment,\" he once said.\n\nThere were dark years that followed from the IRA hunger strikes to the Brighton bombing, when Margaret Thatcher and the Tory Party conference were targeted, to the 1987 Enniskillen bomb when 11 people died at a Remembrance Day ceremony.\n\nHe later said he had no knowledge of the Enniskillen bomb, calling it \"absolutely wrong\" and he dismissed suggestions that throughout the 1980s he was a leading member of the IRA, a time when the organisation was responsible for hundreds of murders.\n\nIn 1993, he was labelled \"Britain's number one terrorist\" in Central Television's The Cook Report. He called the report \"cowardly and dishonest\" television.\n\nThe shift to the politics of peace came slowly.\n\nIn 1986, the party decided to contest elections in the Republic of Ireland. Ten years later, the landscape in Northern Ireland had changed irrevocably. McGuinness was chief negotiator in the peace process.\n\nIan Paisley and Martin McGuinness smile after being sworn in as first and deputy first ministers of the Northern Ireland Assembly\n\nIn 1997, he became MP for Mid Ulster.\n\nHe took on the post of education minister in the Stormont administration and his legacy was the decision to kill off the 11-Plus examination - a political hot potato that still stokes up a fiery glow in the eyes of those opposed to the move.\n\nBy 2007, he was Northern Ireland's deputy first minister standing alongside First Minister Ian Paisley. It was the kind of marriage that only a mad matchmaker contemplates.\n\nThe father of the Free Presbyterian Church - the DUP leader famed for \"Never! Never! Never!\" - and the hardliner republican once wedded to the armed struggle?\n\nBut there was a click. They became the poster boys for modern politics - the Chuckle Brothers who giggled together.\n\nWhen a stony-faced Peter Robinson, DUP, stepped into the first minister's shoes, McGuinness said the \"honeymoon\" was over. The pair was more like the Brothers Grimm.\n\nFrom rocky beginnings, it proved a slow thaw. When DUP leader Arlene Foster took the reins, it proved frostier again.\n\nA month after she took on the post of first minister in January 2016, she said it was difficult for her because he gave the graveside oration at the funeral of the man who, she believes, tried to kill her father.\n\nThe ice thickened and became impenetrable after McGuinness resigned in protest at her refusal to stand aside for an investigation into a botched green scheme that she set up.\n\nSinn Féin's Martin McGuinness met the Queen for the first time in June 2012\n\nNevertheless, over the past ten years for Martin McGuinness, there were seismic moments.\n\nThere was the famous handshake with Queen Elizabeth II; there was a toast to her Majesty at Windsor Castle as the band played God Save The Queen - gestures that stuck in the gullets of hard-line republicans and loyal servants of the Queen alike.\n\nIn recent years, he said: \"My war is over. My job as a political leader is to prevent that war and I feel very passionate about it.\"\n\nHe did it his way... right up to the moment on Monday 9 January, when he signed off at Stormont, saying the time was right to \"call a halt to the DUP's arrogance\".", "Louise Cook, the only woman in history to win a rallying world championship competing against men, needs to raise £25,000 after her two main sponsors dropped out.\n\nThe 28-year-old's next stop is the next round of the World Rally Championship in Sweden in February, but she now has two weeks to come up with the cash or will face losing her place.\n\nShe was forced to put her trophy up for auction but has held off selling it, as well-wishers have been stepping in to crowdfund her.\n\nBBC 100 Women names 100 influential and inspirational women around the world every year.

A lot of the times when I've been in the final here, I've played against him. Had some tough ones.\"\n• None Andy Murray column: Everyone needs to give Djokovic a break\n\nQuerrey gave the Scot plenty to think about in the early stages of their third-round match, attacking the net and hurrying the top seed, but a first-serve percentage of just 57% was not enough to keep Murray at bay.\n\nThe American missed a fleeting chance with a break point in game eight and Murray immediately took advantage, getting the break himself in the next game with a beautiful lob.\n\nHe took a firm grip on the match with a run of six out of seven games, easing through the second set with two more breaks.\n\nThere was a flurry of resistance as Querrey reeled off three straight games to lead 3-2 in the third set, but Murray once again turned up the pressure with his return to break for a fifth time on his way to a comprehensive victory.\n\n\"Sam, especially in the first set, was hitting a huge ball,\" added Murray, who had no problem with the ankle he turned during his previous match.\n\n\"There was a key moment at 3-4 when I saved a break point and then managed to break the next game and had the momentum after that.\"\n\nBritish number three Evans is set to move inside the world's top 50, with 180 ranking points already secured in Melbourne, plus at least £135,000 in prize money.\n\nAfter failing to convert a match point against Stan Wawrinka in the third round of last year's US Open, the 26-year-old from Solihull grabbed this opportunity with both hands.\n\n\"It was tough, Bernard is difficult,\" said Evans. \"He is unorthodox and I found it hard at the start. I am happy to come through in three tight sets. It could have gone either way.\"\n\nEvans followed the best win of his career over seventh seed Marin Cilic on Wednesday with another terrific performance, setting the pace and holding firm when under pressure late in the second and third sets.\n\nHe was broken after holding two set points on serve in the second set but recovered superbly when facing two set points two games later, then raced through the tie-break with some brilliant all-court tennis.\n\nWhen Tomic threatened again late in the third set, Evans fought off another three break points with some magnificent play that even drew applause from his opponent.\n\nThere were worrying signs of possible cramp, and a brief rain shower came to the Briton's aid when serving at 5-5, 40-40, allowing him to recuperate and dominate a second tie-break to clinch the win.\n\nEvans, who is without a clothing sponsor, has been buying his own T-shirts in Melbourne.\n\n\"I am happy with them at the minute,\" he said. \"One shrunk in the wash so I had to change it, but I reckon they look all right.\"\n\nMurray will start as a strong favourite against Zverev, but there is plenty of danger lurking on the Scot's side of the draw.\n\nFormer winner Stan Wawrinka, the US Open champion, is through to the last 16 after a 3-6 6-2 6-2 7-6 (9-7) win over Serbia's Viktor Troicki.\n\nThe 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).\n\nShould Murray get past Zverev on Saturday he will face a daunting quarter-final against four-time champion Roger Federer or fifth seed Kei Nishikori.\n\nIn two of his previous Grand Slams, Evans had come tantalisingly close to breaking into the fourth round - especially at the US Open last September, when he had match point to knock out eventual champion Stan Wawrinka.\n\nAgainst Tomic, he looked from the first point as if he believed this was a match he was going to win. The third set in particular was very physical, as the Australian dragged Evans around the court, and yet he was still fresh enough to win the tie-break in convincing manner.\n\nEvans will be a top-50 player for the first time after the Australian Open - some rise from the position of 772 he found himself in just 20 months ago. Perhaps hitting his mid-20s and developing a taste for the big occasion from Davis Cup ties spurred him to commit to the ceaseless dedication, and long spells away from home, required to be a top player.\n\nEvans should be at his peak over the next four years. With help from his coach Mark Hilton, he has built the foundations to allow this not to be as good as it gets.", "This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover from the UK to China. The BBC's Helier Cheung, who sang in the handover ceremony, shares her personal reflections on the last two decades.\n\nAs a child, you don't always appreciate when you're witnessing history.\n\nOn 1 July 1997, I was part of the choir singing in the handover, in front of China's leaders and millions of viewers around the world.\n\nIt was a historic day. But I was nine at the time, so my most vivid memories were:\n\nAll of us in the choir had grown up speaking Cantonese. So singing in Mandarin felt both familiar and unfamiliar - it signified a culture we recognised, but did not grow up with.\n\nIn 1997, I (second from left) got to sing in the handover ceremony\n\nNearly 20 years later, I was back in Hong Kong reporting for the BBC\n\nThere were lots of dancers with pink fans, and I remember China's then-President Jiang Zemin holding up a piece of calligraphy that read \"Hong Kong's tomorrow will be better\".\n\nBut that night, I saw on TV that some had been protesting against the handover. It was one of my first lessons about Hong Kong's divisions - some were happy to be part of China again, but others were afraid.\n\nI didn't always follow politics then, but politics still affected me. Some of my friends emigrated ahead of the handover, because their parents weren't sure about life under China.\n\nAnd 1997 was also the start of the Asian financial crisis, so I overheard adults talking about stock market crashes, and suicides.\n\nAs a child, it was more comforting to be oblivious about the news.\n\nEven as my friends and I went to secondary school, we rarely thought about developments in mainland China - we were teenagers after all.\n\nThis all changed in 2003. Hong Kong was hit by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) which travelled over from southern China.\n\nPeople started wearing face masks to protect themselves from Sars\n\nSuddenly whole buildings were being quarantined. School was cancelled - shortly before our exams - as well as our junior high ball.\n\nTo some, it almost seemed unfair - the virus had spread here after officials in mainland China covered up the outbreak.\n\nYet Hong Kong, which handled the outbreak more transparently, was the focus of a lot of international coverage, and was the city with the most deaths - nearly 300.\n\nMy friends and I became more pragmatic. We did everything we were told to - wearing face masks, disinfecting our hands and taking our temperatures before school each day.\n\nBut we kept meeting up in McDonald's after class, as we always did. One friend told me: \"If you die, you die, there's nothing you can do. You just need to do the best you can.\"\n\nBy summertime, Hong Kong was Sars-free. But another crisis, this time political, was rumbling.\n\nThe government wanted to introduce national security legislation, known as Article 23.\n\nIt would have outlawed treason, secession and sedition - words I had to look up - and allowed our government to outlaw groups banned in mainland China.\n\nThe bill struck a nerve. Although many countries outlaw treason and secession, to many Hong Kongers it reminded them too much of mainland China.\n\nOn 1 July 2003, half a million people, including some of my classmates, marched against the bill.\n\nA few days later, the government was forced to shelve Article 23, after one of its political allies, a pro-business party, withdrew its support.\n\nMy friends were jubilant, telling me they had \"made history\". Many felt that, although there was no democracy, it was possible to vote with their feet.\n\nMany people wore black to show their opposition to Article 23\n\nThe Sars outbreak and Article 23 row made local and Chinese politics seem more relevant to our daily lives.\n\nAnd by the late 2000s, mainland China felt more entwined with Hong Kong than ever.\n\nWhen I was a child, some of my classmates, somewhat cruelly, mocked \"mainlanders\" as people who squatted and were poor. But now, more people were learning Mandarin, and Hong Kong's economic future seemed to depend on China's.\n\nChina loosened travel restrictions, making it easier for mainland tourists to visit Hong Kong.\n\nIt gave the economy a much-needed boost, but resentment was also growing.\n\nI was studying abroad by then, but whenever I flew home I would hear people gripe about the sheer number of tourists, and how rude some appeared.\n\nMainlanders' shopping trips to Hong Kong have been a source of irritation to people in the city\n\nSome tourists bought up huge quantities of baby milk powder, leaving local parents without enough.\n\nI could no longer recognise many of the shopping malls my school friends and I used to frequent. We grew up with cheap jewellery stalls and snack shops - but now shopping centres were dominated by designer brands that wealthy Chinese tourists preferred.\n\nThe other big change was in politics. When I was at school, expressing an interest in politics was more likely to get you teased than admired.\n\nBut by 2012, students were holding hunger strikes to oppose a government attempt to introduce \"patriotic education\" classes.\n\nAnd in 2014, something surprising, almost unthinkable, happened. Tens of thousands of people, led by students, took over the streets, demanding full democracy.\n\nGrowing up, it was easy to avoid talking about politics.\n\nBut with protesters sleeping in the streets for weeks, the subject was suddenly unavoidable.\n\nFamilies and friends started arguing - in person and on Facebook - and \"unfriending\" people they disagreed with.\n\nSupporters felt it was worth sacrificing order and economic growth for true democracy, but critics accused the protesters of \"destroying\" Hong Kong.\n\nOne woman told me her relatives were angry she took part in the protests and now, two years later, they still didn't want to meet her for dinner. \"Hong Kong's become so split,\" she said.\n\nHong Kong was split between \"yellow ribbons\" who supported the protesters, and \"blue ribbons\" who supported the police\n\nRecently, after years in the UK, I got to return to Hong Kong as a reporter.\n\nA lot feels the same. The territory is still clean, efficient, and obsessed with good food.\n\nBut young people seem more pessimistic - with politics and soaring house prices their main bugbears.\n\nSurveys suggest young people are the unhappiest they have been in a decade - and that up to 60% want to leave.\n\nRecently, some have even started to call for independence from China, frustrated with Beijing's influence and the lack of political reform.\n\nTheir resentment stems from Hong Kong's handover or even the Sino-British negotiations in the 1980s.\n\n\"We were never given a choice,\" one activist said. \"No-one ever asked Hong Kongers what they wanted.\"\n\nProtests have become angrier. Most demonstrations I witnessed growing up were peaceful - even festive.\n\nNow, some rallies are more confrontational and prone to clashes, while the government seems less willing to make concessions.\n\nPro-Beijing and pro-democracy protesters sometimes end up clashing\n\nIt's not surprising that, in an online poll run by a pro-government party, people chose \"chaos\" as the word to describe Hong Kong's 2016.\n\nFrom violent protests, to legislators swearing and scuffling in parliament, politics has definitely been chaotic at times.\n\nBut, chaotic or not, what really strikes me about Hong Kong is how alive and adaptable it is.\n\nHong Kong's streets are busy late into the night\n\nWhether in business or politics, Hong Kong is full of people fighting to be heard.\n\nLocal entrepreneurs are constantly devising controversial or creative ways to make money - such as renting out \"capsule units\" in their homes, or starting a rabbit cafe.\n\nAnd, even as artists complain of pressure to self-censor, pop music has become more political and fresh news websites and satirical news channels have popped up.\n\nHong Kong may be a relatively small territory with a population of 7.3 million, but I love the fact it has never lost its ability to surprise me.\n\nHelier Cheung's report can also be heard on From Our Own Correspondent", "Chip Bergh usually does between 12 and 14 hours of sport a week\n\nAsk Levi boss Chip Bergh how he's finding his first trip to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, and his immediate response is to say how frustrated he is by the lack of time to exercise.\n\nThe sports-obsessed chief executive - who competes in triathlons and is a vegan - normally exercises daily from 5.30am to 7am doing a mixture of swimming, running and weights.\n\nIn total, he does between 12 and 14 hours of sport a week.\n\n\"No-one is as intense as me,\" he quips.\n\nYet, in the testosterone-fuelled world of alpha males (and it is normally males) who make up the top ranks of the corporate world, exercise is often pretty high on the agenda.\n\nAnd it makes sense - the kind of drive, discipline and determination needed to push yourself to work out and compete - are exactly the same skills needed to get to the top.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nMr Bergh, who was headhunted to lead the 163-year-old jeans firm after almost three decades at consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble, credits his exercise regime with helping him succeed in the new role.\n\nWhen he took the helm, Levi was losing out to cheaper and more fashionable rivals, with sales half of their annual $7bn peak.\n\nHe changed all but one of the 11-strong executive team, and two thirds of its next tier of management alongside making significant cuts, including outsourcing its IT, finance and customer services.\n\nSales and profit have now grown for the past four years.\n\nExercise, he says, gave him the strength to make such dramatic changes.\n\n\"I really do firmly believe it plays a part in performance. For me personally when I'm healthy and exercising, eating right and getting enough rest, I'm much more productive at work,\" he says.\n\nHis conviction of the benefits of exercise meant that when he joined he set up a \"Live wellth\" programme at the firm, including a cheap gym membership deal for staff and a nutritional onsite cafe at its San Francisco headquarters.\n\nFor any company, encouraging staff to take care of their health makes sense, he says, due to the risk of high healthcare costs if they don't.\n\n\"It's not just the performance side of this, but the potential avoidance of costs,\" he says.\n\nNerio Alessandri, chief executive of Technogym, thinks companies should offer their staff fitness facilities\n\nIt's an issue companies are increasingly cottoning on to, says Nerio Alessandri, the founder and chief executive of Italian fitness equipment manufacturer Technogym.\n\nIn fact, he says providing machines, fitness programmes and apps to companies is now its fastest growing market.\n\nIncreasingly, he thinks the so-called millennial generation - those born between 1980 and 1999, and a group that accountancy firm Deloitte predicts will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2022 - will expect their workplaces to offer fitness facilities.\n\n\"It's a key way to attract talent. They don't want the car, or the other perks,\" he says.\n\nWe're talking - whilst sitting on big bouncy balls - in the firm's pop-up store in Davos, while impossibly honed and fit-looking company representatives run and cycle furiously on stationary machines beside us.\n\nThe World Economic Forum is littered with posters encouraging people to walk\n\nMr Alessandri himself works out every morning for an hour at 6.30am, and cycles and runs at the weekend, but crucially, he says, whilst wobbling frenetically on the ball, he never stops moving.\n\n\"Exercise is one of the rules of the champion chief executive. If you're not healthy, you don't have a healthy mind, you don't have creativity, you don't have energy and productivity goes down,\" he says.\n\nAt Technogym's head office in Cesena in northern Italy, taking the lift is banned unless someone has a physical issue. There are no chairs, just balls for seats and all meetings take place at high tables to force them to stand up.\n\nBut what if a staff member isn't into fitness? \"It's an opportunity. We make them,\" he jokes.\n\nArmani was not impressed by Nerio Alessandri's attempt at fashion design\n\nIn fact, he says his personal mission is to try to address the sedentary lifestyle that has been linked to health problems.\n\n\"People were born to move for 30km a day. Today, it's less than 1km a day. We're committed to covering the gap,\" he says.\n\nMr Alessandri, who originally wanted to be a fashion designer but turned to fitness equipment after a rejection from Armani, believes the secret is to make the workout equipment look good.\n\n\"If it's like a piece of art, not a machine, then you put it on display and you're more likely to use it. If it's ugly, you stick it in the garage and never use it,\" he says.\n\nSo far, the regime appears to be working. The firm has supplied the equipment for the past six Olympics and sales hit $581m in 2015, the most recent full-year figures available.\n\n\"Let's move for a better world is my mantra,\" he says.\n\nIt's a mantra shared by the WEF. In Davos, posters are everywhere telling attendees of the benefits to the planet of walking instead of driving.\n\nAnd temporary signs in the village display the number of steps and time taken to reach a particular destination.\n\nSigns are placed across Davos helping delegates to calculate their daily step count\n\nGiven the almost constant traffic gridlock on the streets in the morning and evening, I'm not sure delegates are heeding the message.\n\nBut Tupperware chief executive Rick Goings says the WEF's emphasis on health and fitness persuaded him to make changes at his own firm. Its base in Orlando, Florida now boasts a fitness centre as well as biking and walking paths.\n\nAnd Mr Goings himself fits the mould of a typical high achiever - he too is an exercise freak.\n\n\"I can still bench press my weight. I never miss a workout and do at least an hour every other day no matter what. Fitness gives me energy,\" he says.\n\nHe also meditates every day.\n\n\"How old do you think I am?\" he asks, thrusting his face forward. I guess late 50s.\n\n\"Seventy-one,\" he says triumphantly. \"And no plastic surgery.\"", "By 1934 Mary Anne MacLeod had become a glamorous New Yorker. This photo, was taken on the steps of a Long Island swimming pool\n\nDonald Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born and brought up on the Hebridean island of Lewis but emigrated to New York to live a very different life.\n\nMary Anne was one of tens of thousands of Scots who travelled to the US and Canada in the early years of the last century looking to escape economic hardship at home.\n\nShe first left Lewis for New York in 1930, at the age of 18, to seek work as a domestic servant.\n\nSix years later she was married to successful property developer Frederick Trump, the son of German migrants and one of the most eligible men in New York.\n\nThe fourth of their five children, Donald John, as he is referred to on the islands, is about to become US president.\n\nHis mother was born in 1912 in Tong, about three miles from Stornoway, the main town on the isle of Lewis.\n\nGenealogist Bill Lawson, who has traced the family tree of Mary Anne MacLeod back to the early 19th Century, says her father Malcolm ran a post office and small shop in his later years.\n\nDonald Trump's mother Mary Anne MacLeod, aged 14, sits on the windowsill of a house in the village of Tong\n\nEconomically, the family would have been slightly better off than the average in the township, he says.\n\nHowever, life during and after World War One, in which 1,000 islanders died, was very hard and many young people were leaving the Western Isles.\n\nLewis had also suffered the Iolaire disaster in 1919 when 200 servicemen from the island had drowned at the mouth of Stornoway harbour, coming home for the first new year of peace.\n\nMr Lawson says: \"Mary Anne MacLeod was from a very large family, nine siblings, and the move at that time was away from the island.\n\n\"The move by Viscount Leverhulme to revive the island had gone bust and there was not much prospect for young people.\n\n\"What else could she do?\"\n\nMr Lawson adds: \"Nowadays, you might think of going to the mainland but in those days most people went to Canada. It was far easier to make a life in America and many people had relatives there.\"\n\nThe genealogist says Mr Trump's mother was slightly different in that her sister Catherine, one of eight members of the MacLeod family to have emigrated to America, had moved from Canada to New York.\n\nWhen Catherine returned to Lewis for a visit in 1930, her 18-year-old sister Mary Anne went with her to look for work.\n\nIt appears that she found work as a nanny with a wealthy family in a big house in the suburbs of New York but lost the job as the US sank into depression after the Wall Street Crash.\n\nMary Anne returned briefly to Scotland in 1934 but by then she had met Fred Trump and soon returned to New York for good.\n\nThe couple lived in a wealthy area of Queens and Mary Anne was active with charity work.\n\nMary Anne en-route to America in the early 1930s\n\nDonald Trump still has three cousins on Lewis, including two who live in the ancestral home, which has been rebuilt since Mary Anne MacLeod's time.\n\nAll three cousins have consistently refused to speak to the media.\n\nJohn A MacIver, a local councillor and friend of the cousins, says: \"I know the family very well.\n\n\"They are very nice, gentle people and I'm sure they don't want all the publicity that's around.\n\n\"I quite understand that they don't want to talk about it.\"\n\nMr MacIver says Mary Anne MacLeod was well-known and much respected in the community and used to attend the church on her visits home.\n\nMr Trump's mother became a US citizen in 1942 and died in 2000, aged 88.\n\nBut she returned to Lewis throughout her life and always spoke Gaelic, Mr MacIver says.\n\nAccording to genealogist Bill Lawson, surnames are a relatively recent phenomenon on the islands and official records only go back to the early decades of the 19th Century.\n\nHis research took him back as far as John Roy MacLeod, which in Gaelic is Iain Ruaidh, named for a tendency to red hair.\n\nMary Anne Trump regularly returned to Lewis and spoke her native Gaelic language on her visits\n\nMary Anne Trump's paternal MacLeods came from Vatisker, a few miles further north of Tong.\n\nHer great-grandfather Alexander Roy MacLeod and his son Malcolm were thought to have drowned together while fishing in the 1850s.\n\nOn Mary Anne's mother's side, the Smiths were among the families cleared from South Lochs area of Lewis in 1826.\n\nThe period of the Highland Clearances on the mainland had largely missed Lewis but after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 some of the better lands for sheep-grazing on the island were cleared of tenants.\n\nIn most cases the displaced tenants were relocated elsewhere on Lewis rather than sent overseas.\n\nAccording to Mr Lawson, all four lines of Mary Anne MacLeod's maternal ancestry had been moved to Stornoway parish from elsewhere on the island as a result of the Clearances.\n\nHis research also found another fishing tragedy when Donald Smith was drowned in October 1868 after his boat was upset in a squall off Vatisker Point.\n\nHis widow was left with three children, of whom the youngest, Mary, Donald Trump's grandmother, was less than a year old.\n\nMary succeeded her mother at 13 Tong but it was the smallest of the crofts in Tong.\n\nAfter her marriage to Malcolm MacLeod, they were able to acquire the Smiths' original croft of 5 Tong and move there.\n\nDonald Trump's mother Mary Anne was the youngest of their 10 children.\n\nMary Anne Trump's billionaire son Donald visited the house in which his mother grew up, and his cousins in 2008.\n\nOn that trip, the now president-elect said he had been to Lewis once before as \"a three or four-year-old\" but could remember little about it.\n\nDonald Trump on a visit to Tong in 2008\n\nDonald Trump and his sister Maryanne (left) on their visit to Tong\n\nIt is estimated he spent 97 seconds in the ancestral home during his whistle-stop tour.\n\nAt the time, he said: \"I have been very busy - I am building jobs all over the world - and it's very, very tough to find the time to come back.\n\n\"But this just seemed an appropriate time, because I have the plane... I'm very glad I did, and I will be back again.\"\n\nDonald Trump next to a piper at the opening of The Trump International Golf Links Course in July 2012\n\nThe president-elect was accompanied by his eldest sister Maryanne Trump Barry, a US federal judge, who has regularly visited her cousins on Lewis.\n\nMr Lawson says: \"If you want to celebrate anyone, you should perhaps celebrate Maryanne, who has done a lot of work for the island.\n\n\"Donald arrived off a plane and then disappeared again. One photoshoot, that was it.\n\n\"I can't say he left much of an impression behind him.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The Marching Tornado Band has travelled all the way from Alabama.\n\nThe only marching band from a historically black college to perform at the Trump presidential inauguration has experienced intense backlash. Regardless, on Thursday morning, the Talladega Marching Tornadoes blew into Washington.\n\nWhen students awoke after the 19-hour bus trip from Talladega, Alabama, one of the first scenes that greeted their bleary eyes in the nation's capital was Senator Bernie Sanders, waiting to cross the street.\n\nIt was a sight few of the Talladega College marching band members thought they'd ever see - a former presidential candidate strolling to work - as the vast majority had never even been outside the state of Alabama.\n\n\"They're so talented, these young people. We're really excited to give them this opportunity,\" said Dr Sharon Whittaker-Davis, the school's vice-president of student affairs, as she watched the students pour out of the buses and into the African American Civil War Museum in Washington. \"We're here.\"\n\nAfter 19 hours on the bus from Talladega, Alabama, the Marching Tornadoes arrive in Washington\n\nThe night before, the mayor of tiny Talladega and a crowd of about 100 well-wishers cheered as the buses pulled out of town. It was a loving send-off that contrasted sharply with the treatment the band had faced in previous weeks.\n\nSeveral other high schools and colleges, including historically black institutions like Howard University, declined the invitation or didn't even apply to play at Donald Trump's inauguration.\n\nAs soon as it was announced that the Marching Tornadoes was the sole black college to accept, they were called sell-outs, race traitors and worse.\n\nThe college president received demands for his resignation, and then death threats. Alumni begged their alma mater not to go.\n\n\"Please do not march in this. Stand with people of colour against racism,\" one comment read on the band's Facebook page.\n\nHowever, after college president Barry Hawkins appeared on Fox News to explain his decision to let the band perform, donations to a GoFundMe page raising money for the trip shot through the roof, soaring to almost $650,000 (£527,000).\n\nThe extra money will go towards scholarships, new band uniforms, new instruments and a new practice space - the college has only 700 students, almost all of whom receive some type of financial aid.\n\nOmarosa Manigault, Donald Trump's director of communications, take selfies with the Talladega Tornadoes\n\nMany of the band members come from low-income backgrounds and are the first in their families to attend college.\n\nThe students were eager about the invitation and took the ensuing backlash personally.\n\n\"I just couldn't understand why they would do that to us,\" said 21-year-old alto saxophone player Eriel House.\n\n\"We're students. We're not involved in a political party. We just wanted to go show our talents.\"\n\n\"[He's president] regardless,\" said Shylexis Robinson. \"I just want to march on Pennsylvania Avenue, period.\"\n\nOnce in Washington, the trip organisers had hoped to take the students straight to the Martin Luther King Memorial on the National Mall.\n\nBut because streets were already blocked off for the inauguration, they instead headed to the African American Civil War Museum - a tribute to the black soldiers who fought for the Union.\n\nTalladega College itself was founded in 1867 by the descendants of slaves.\n\nStudents took selfies in front of a monument to black soldiers who fought for the Union in the Civil War\n\nInside the darkened museum, the students swished around in their matching blue-and-crimson tracksuits, peering into display cases of rusty slaves' shackles, a yellowed 1862 copy of the New York Times announcing the \"preliminary emancipation\" of slaves, and a sign that reads: \"We Serve Colored Carry Out Only\".\n\nWhen Mr Hawkins announced to the group that a special guest awaited the students across the street, a student said: \"Obama?\"\n\nInstead, Omarosa Manigault - former Apprentice star, director of Mr Trump's African-American outreach during the campaign, and now his director of communications - waited beside a statue of four black Union soldiers.\n\n\"You have shown and exhibited such great courage... we can't move forward unless we are together,\" Ms Manigault called out.\n\n\"On behalf of the president, Donald J Trump, I want to just thank you, welcome you here and I cannot wait to see y'all show up and show out tomorrow at the inauguration parade!\"\n\nMilling around the memorial, Melissa Harris traced her hand along the names inscribed on the monument.\n\n\"I think I found one of my ancestors on one of these walls,\" she said.\n\n\"I hope we get to meet President Obama,\" another girl sighed.\n\n\"I don't think it's hitting us yet that he's going,\" said Marissa Melchor quietly.\n\n\"He's not dying,\" her friend said rolling her eyes.\n\n\"It feels unreal,\" Ms Melchor replied. \"But reality is going to hit us.\"\n\nElkena Washington on the E-flat alto saxophone and Melissa Harris on piccolo\n\nThe students piled back onto the buses and took a long, slow ride through packed traffic to the University of the District of Columbia campus.\n\nThere the students got their first meal since the previous day, and listened to remarks from local business people who donated to their GoFundMe campaign.\n\nNone of the students who spoke to BBC News expressed a strong support for incoming President Trump, but they seemed cautiously optimistic.\n\n\"I don't like everything about him. I think it's going to be a pretty interesting couple of years,\" said Bernard Norris, an 18-year-old trombone player.\n\n\"I just wish him the best of luck and I hope he does the country right... I hope something good comes out of this.\"\n\nIn the hallway outside the dining hall, 21-year-old first chair trumpeteer Marco Vera said that even though he is excited to perform, it was hard to hear some of the remarks Mr Trump made during the campaign.\n\n\"Coming from a Hispanic background, having to see my parents struggle through everything to get where we're at... it hurts,\" he said.\n\n\"Yeah, he said some stuff about us, but I'm performing for my college. I'm performing for my parents. My parents told me to go out there and showcase my talent... so I'm just going to go out there and make my family proud.\"\n\nThe Marching Tornadoes on Friday morning, just before they departed for the Pentagon", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Mr Trump's supporters who will be going to the inauguration\n\nWhat do the millions of Trump supporters want from their new president? The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan catches up with some of the voters she met while travelling across America during the election campaign.\n\nSarah Jo works for the Republican Party of Arkansas and I met her at her office in Little Rock a few days before the second presidential debate in October.\n\nWhile other Republican women in the state had voiced concerns over Donald Trump's threat to bring up Bill Clinton's past as an election issue, Sarah Jo was steadfastly behind her candidate.\n\nShe remains so today, and has travelled to Washington DC for the inauguration.\n\nDuring the primaries she was the \"odd one out\" with her friends, who all supported Marco Rubio.\n\n\"I wasn't a bandwagon type of person. I wanted to support who I thought was best, and I guess I picked the right horse.\"\n\nShe wasn't upset about the comments Trump made on the Access Hollywood tape saying he would grab a woman \"by the pussy\".\n\n\"Everybody makes mistakes and I'd be mortified if something like that was caught on camera,\" she says.\n\nFor Sarah Jo, the appeal lies in his promise of change, and his background as a businessman. Her two priorities are tax reform and repealing and replacing Obamacare.\n\nShe's hopeful her candidate can heal divisions in the country.\n\n\"I am prayerful that he takes into account every single American citizen, not just those who voted for him. Change can't occur overnight but I think we are going to see great things with his first 100 days in office.\"\n\nWill Estrada is the definition of a Washington insider. He's a lawyer, a lobbyist and the chair of the Loudon County Republican Party.\n\nWhen we met in August, some local congressional candidates in the Virginia district were refusing to endorse the party's nominee.\n\nBut Will's loyalty was never in doubt. Now, as an invited guest to the inauguration, he'll get to witness Trump being sworn in up close.\n\n\"I think Trump has a huge opportunity to restore America's respect on the world stage,\" he says. \"Trump is a phenomenon who defies expectations. He's rewritten the rule book. It's exciting to watch.\"\n\nHe has two \"non-negotiables\": the repeal of President Obama's healthcare reforms, and a conservative pick for the vacant Supreme Court seat.\n\n\"We'd seen the growth of government way larger than our founders had intended,\" Will says of Obamacare, adding that he's \"fine\" with Mr Trump's undefined plan to replace it.\n\nBack in the summer Will was an ardent critic of Hillary Clinton and agreed with the calls of many Trump supporters to \"lock her up\". But he understands why the new president has backed away from his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs Clinton.\n\n\"It would have created more divisiveness if a president went after Hillary Clinton. I'd like to move forward - the Clintons are a relic of the past.\"\n\nI met Marco Gutierrez at the Republican National Convention in Ohio last July, where he was holding a \"Latinos for Trump\" sign. A real estate investor in California's Discovery Bay, he became one of the faces of Donald Trump's minority outreach.\n\nMany Hispanic voters were incensed by Mr Trump's plan to build a wall, but not Marco. He believes the barrier will stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigration across the border.\n\n\"My only reservation is the way the immigration force will work as far as protecting innocent families,\" he cautions.\n\nHis public support for Mr Trump has cost him some friends and clients, but his wife, a fourth-generation Mexican-American, supports him.\n\nMarco was just 17 when he came to the United States from Mexico in 1991. His parents, who'd been working in the US fields for many summers, had been granted amnesty after Ronald Reagan's change in immigration policy.\n\n\"When I came here I had 75 cents in my pocket and a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt,\" Marco says. \"That was the beginning of my new life in the United States\"\n\nEven though he benefitted from an amnesty, Marco now believes in tougher immigration laws.\n\n\"Trump's a firm believer in results and so far I see results. That he's willing to sit down and talk about the problems. I think by March we're going to be able to judge whether he's making a difference. We have to give him a chance.\"\n\nI met Bill Hartmann, a self-employed building repair man, as he delivered Trump yard signs in Detroit ahead of the Michigan primary back in March.\n\n\"He was the only candidate who said he wanted to make America great again. And that's what turned me on.\"\n\nWhen he watched Clinton supporters in tears on election night, Bill says he had a flashback to the sadness he felt when Barack Obama won in 2008. \"I could totally relate to that\".\n\nBill won't be among the inauguration crowds in Washington DC, but will be watching on a big screen at a local hall, with other supporters.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\n\"I think people have lost respect for America,\" Bill says, \"especially with Barack Obama going and bowing to other leaders in the world. Donald Trump doesn't want to be part of the new world order, he wants America to be independent.\"\n\nBill believes Trump's business past, can help deliver a fresh approach to foreign policy.\n\n\"He's someone who would be a good negotiator in contracts and agreements with foreign nations, he always seems to be open to discussion regardless of who the individual is.\"\n\nIt was hard to miss June Savage when we met at a Trump rally in Miami, Florida. Dressed in a top hat, red boots and draped in an American flag, she was holding a Women for Trump placard.\n\nThe former Miss Miami finalist, a lifelong Republican who works as a real estate agent, backed Mr Trump because he's a political outsider.\n\n\"You can't ask an attorney to be POTUS anymore. You need people who have built things, who have hired and fired people and who can stand up to these billionaire heads of state.\"\n\nShe's met the new president and sees his direct approach as a strength. \"He has a big mouth - we all know that. He says a lot of things that maybe people like or do not like.\"\n\nHer one concern is Mr Trump's addiction to social media, but she says everyone has the same tendency these days.\n\nAnd to June, one of the biggest assets of a Trump presidency, is his VP pick, Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana.\n\n\"They always say behind a good man is a very good woman,\" she says. \"Not to call Mike Pence a woman, but he's definitely the woman in this marriage. So you have a very strong man, which is Pence, behind Trump.\"\n\nI met Martha, a retired teacher and volunteer for the Trump campaign in Texas, at a watch party for a Republican primary debate in Houston in February.\n\nOriginally from Argentina, Martha came to the US nearly 30 years ago, and believes his wall on the US-Mexico border is a good idea.\n\nShe hopes Trump keeps the promises he talked about during the campaign, including \"draining the swamp\", reducing illegal immigration and beefing up national security.\n\nShe does have some advice for her new president though: get a thicker skin.\n\n\"Right now I think he's jumping on every negative comment that people in the media make of him, and he should just ignore it.\"\n\nCathy jokes she may be the only Trump supporter in her town of 11,000 in Massachusetts. We met as she campaigned for Trump in the neighbouring state of New Hampshire in the weeks before the election.\n\nCathy says she's become more conservative with age, but remains socially liberal. She was fed up with politicians from both parties.\n\nShe hopes Mr Trump can unite the country, and blames President Obama for making things worse.\n\n\"I just don't remember having racial divides as badly in my lifetime as we have in the past administration,\" she says.\n\nBut it was Mr Trump's economic policies that sealed her vote. Her father was a manufacturer who owned a textile mill in upstate New York in the 1980s.\n\n\"I know what's happened with trade agreements with other countries who don't have the same human rights standards and can lower costs, and unfairly compete with American workers.\"\n\nOn the campaign trail she said she heard similar stories from disenfranchised voters.\n\n\"A lot of people felt all of these jobs are disappearing and the government wasn't listening to us, things are decidedly worse for a lot of people.\"\n\nSecurity, healthcare and the military also rank as Cathy's key concerns for a Trump administration.\n\nAnd even though she's concerned about climate change, she doesn't think \"pie in the sky agreements\" are the way forward.\n\nCathy believes more needs to be done in making US cars more fuel efficient.\n\n\"We need to get our house in order before we start dictating to the rest of the world.\"", "Three people, including a young child, have died after a car deliberately hit pedestrians in central Melbourne, police say.\n\nAt least 29 people were injured, among them a baby who is in a critical condition after the car hit a pram.\n\nPolice have arrested the driver but say the incident was not terror-related.\n\nFootage filmed by a bystander showed a maroon car driving in circles in front of nearby Flinders Street railway station.", "Shelley and Alexander Jack with their new son Lucas and his brother Jensen\n\nA mother delivered her own baby in a car as her husband tried to get her to hospital for the birth.\n\nShelley Jack, 26, was being driven by husband Alexander, 30, from their Inverallochy home to Aberdeen after contractions started.\n\nHowever, before they could make it, their baby son was born in their Mitsubishi Outlander - near Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf resort.\n\nThey then continued the journey. Baby Lucas is now home and doing fine.\n\nThe unusual birth happened in the early hours of 10 January.\n\nMrs Jack told BBC Scotland: \"I went to my bed as normal. But I woke up with stomach cramps, woke my husband to tell him I thought something was happening, and started to pace round the room.\n\n\"I started to panic as I am a bit of a worrier with stuff like that and told my husband to phone Aberdeen maternity.\n\n\"The midwife on the phone told us to come straight through.\"\n\nShe continued: \"We got in the car. About 15 minutes from our house I had no space between my contractions at all.\n\n\"I said, I'm sure they aren't supposed to go this quick.\n\n\"I was trying to move about the seat to relieve the pain but nothing shifted it. My husband saw the pain I was in and started to drive faster but kept trying to assure me that I'd only just started and I would get there in time to get pain relief if I wanted.\"\n\nMrs Jack went on: \"My waters popped round about Ellon and from there I knew this wasn't normal and the baby was trying to come out.\n\n\"I screamed to my husband to phone an ambulance as I felt my body starting to push something out and the pain was horrendous at this point.\n\n\"He phoned the midwife back. She also told me that if I felt my body pushing that I wouldn't be able to control it and that I would have to take off my trousers and just let the baby come.\n\n\"I thought this was absolutely crazy - who has a baby in their car on their own?\n\n\"I wouldn't give in - probably in denial that this would actually happen - but somewhere between the Trump golf course and the Cock and Bull restaurant I realised this baby really was coming out and I did what the midwife told me to do and the baby came out with a few pushes.\n\n\"I caught him in my hands and cradled him into my chest. My whole body was shaking uncontrollably.\n\n\"My husband by this point was hysterical as I think he didn't realise I was actually being serious when I said the baby was coming out.\"\n\nThey then carried on their journey to hospital, where baby Lucas was tended to.\n\nHe weighed in at 7lbs 5oz.\n\nHis mother added: \"Baby Lucas is settling into our family really well and his one-year-old big brother Jensen is just delighted with his baby, giving him lots of kisses and cuddles.", "It is show time for the showman, the Times declares, as the papers look ahead to the inauguration of America's 45th president.\n\nFor the Mail, Mirror and the Sun, it is the Day of the Donald.\n\nBut the Sun says the inauguration is set to be the most divisive and volatile ever, with more than 25,000 police and secret service agents in place to quieten the thousands of protestors.\n\nWhen Mr Trump takes the oath of office, the Guardian says, it will be a scene that not so long ago was unthinkable to the political establishment.\n\nEven now, says the i, the world is having to pinch itself.\n\nIn the Mail's words, it is an astonishing contrast with eight years ago when Barack Obama came to office on a wave of hope and expectation.\n\nMr Trump is pictured on many of the front pages giving a salute as he arrives at Andrews Air Force base near Washington DC for the inauguration, accompanied by his wife Melania.\n\nThe Guardian says he faces immediate pressure to deliver an inaugural address that can start to heal a divided nation and reassure an anxious world.\n\nAccording to the Telegraph, he will pledge to rebuild the US middle class in a speech that will focus on boosting blue collar jobs and rolling back big government.\n\nThe paper says his team has laid out plans to slash the infrastructure of the state with $10.5tn in spending cuts over the next decade.\n\nFor its lead, the Telegraph reports that the Prince of Wales has described climate change as the \"wolf at the door\" - and urged world leaders to take immediate steps to combat what he sees as the biggest threat to the planet's future.\n\nIn his bleakest comments on the subject to date, the paper adds, Prince Charles says action on climate change \"must be urgently scaled up, and scaled up now\".\n\nIt says his warning is contained in the foreword to a new book he has co-authored, which is being published next week.\n\nThe jailing of a woman who plied her four-year-old daughter with drugs before she died is the lead for the Mail.\n\nIt says social workers knew Poppy Widdison was at risk before her mother gave birth, and their \"shocking failures have been laid bare\".\n\nIt asks why they are still in jobs and describes Michala Pyke as the mother from hell.\n\nThe paper's headline - \"betrayed before she was even born\".\n\nThe Guardian leads on an attack by Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron on Labour over its stance on Brexit.\n\nIn an interview for the paper, Mr Farron accuses Jeremy Corbyn of \"lamely giving up\" while Britain \"drives off a cliff\" as it leaves the EU.\n\nIn what the paper calls an overt attempt to grab votes in pro-Remain constituencies, Mr Farron describes Labour as the most ineffective opposition in living memory over its perceived failure to hold the government to account on the issue.\n\nFinally, a company processing household waste found a highly unusual item in the piles of rubbish - an OBE.\n\nThe Sun says the medal was in its gold-embossed leather case.\n\nThe owner of the east London firm tells the Times: \"You can imagine our astonishment when we found the medal.\n\n\"We come across some weird and wonderful things in our waste hauls but this really is something that needs to find its way home.\"", "When asked what he would take away from his stunning defeat by Denis Istomin in the second round of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic said he would take his bags and go home.\n\nThe world number two exuded the utmost class in the aftermath of Istomin's five-set victory in the Rod Laver Arena. He signed autographs, offered sincere congratulations to the current world number 117, and declined the opportunity to comment further on the malaise which has affected him since winning his first French Open title last June.\n\nIstomin has had a fine career - spending plenty of time in the world's top 50 - but after an injury-affected 2016, he had to win the Asia Pacific Wildcard play-off in China (saving four match points in his semi-final) to qualify for this Australian Open.\n\nHis only previous tournament this year was in Thailand, where he lost to the world number 211 in the second round of the Wind Energy Holding Bangkok Open.\n• None Cash fears Djokovic's best days are behind him\n• None How to follow the Australian Open on the BBC\n\nLukas Rosol was 100 in the world when he beat Rafael Nadal in the second round of Wimbledon 2012, but Istomin can claim an even bigger upset given Djokovic's recent record in Melbourne, where he has won five titles in the past six years.\n\nConquering the clay of Roland Garros last year has affected Djokovic's sense of direction.\n\nThat burning desire to become only the eighth man in history to win all four of the sport's Grand Slams drove him forward. An unwitting consequence of that magnificent achievement appears to be a diminished appetite for the incessant demands of the tennis tour.\n\nHe has lost surprisingly since then to Sam Querrey in the third round of Wimbledon; to Juan Martin del Potro in the first round of the Olympics; to Roberto Bautista Agut and Marin Cilic in the autumn of last season; and now to Istomin.\n\nThere have been personal problems and niggling injuries along the way, and he has still been good enough in that time to win titles in Toronto and Doha - and finish as runner-up at both the US Open and the ATP World Tour Finals.\n\nI would be very surprised if Djokovic fails to add to his Grand Slam tally of 12, but I think it unlikely he will ever be able to dominate the sport as he has in the past.\n\nAfter all, from the start of 2011 through until last year's French Open, Djokovic won 11 Grand Slam titles and appeared in all but five of the 22 finals staged.\n\nThat is a staggering effort which bears comparison to the standards set by Roger Federer, who won 16 of his 17 Grand Slams in a six and a half year period. But 35-year-old Federer has added only one since he turned 29.\n\nIt is perhaps just not possible in the modern age to sustain such relentless success for any longer.\n\nIn Djokovic's case, the years of obsession and dedication began at the age of six, when he was spotted watching some lessons through the fence of a newly built tennis academy in his home town.\n\nHe was invited to come and play the following day by a coach called Jelena Gencic, who would have a profound effect on his career.\n\nAs Djokovic himself said at the World Tour Finals in November: \"Every year is an evolution for me. It's hard to expect to repeat all these things forever. Nothing is eternal. I'm trying to do the same things. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.\"\n\nWhat might the future hold for Djokovic?\n\nHe says regaining the world number one position from Andy Murray is not his main priority, and that may be wise given Murray would move more than 3,500 ranking points ahead of him by winning a first Australian Open title.\n\nHe says he has no plans to add to his current coaching team of Marian Vajda and Dusan Vemic, and if Djokovic sticks to his schedule we won't see him again until the second week in March when he is due to defend his Masters title at Indian Wells.\n\nAnd what does this mean for the men's game in 2017 - and for the ongoing Australian Open?\n\nIt leaves Andy Murray in pole position, it gives the returning Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal even greater hope of further glories, and offers encouragement to the next generation of players who have had to bide their time so patiently.

But why do these shortages persist and is there anything that can be done to get rid of them?\n\nIn this week's In Business on BBC Radio 4, I spoke to historians, economists, nurses, doctors and other healthcare staff to try to get to the bottom of these questions.\n\nAnd to pose another one - does the NHS have the right mix of staff with the right mix of skills or could changing traditional roles rather than just boosting numbers help?\n\nThe Royal College of Nursing says England is currently short of at least 20,000 nursing staff.\n\nAnd the Royal College of Midwives says the country needs 3,500 more midwives.\n\nMeanwhile, GP leaders and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine say the UK urgently needs greater numbers of general practitioners and emergency doctors - just a few of the medical specialities struggling with recruitment and retention right now.\n\nIncreasingly, an older population, with often complex health needs, adds extra demand.\n\nBut these problems are far from new.\n\nStephanie Snow, medical historian at the University of Manchester, says staff shortages have existed since the very birth of the NHS, in 1948 - though people are often quick to label recruitment crises as one-off problems.\n\nShe told the BBC: \"Over the first decade in particular, the NHS expanded its specialist services rapidly and there were many new technologies on board.\n\n\"All of these things led to unprecedented increases in the number of staff required.\n\n\"By the time we get to the late 1960s, hospitals had to turn to mass recruitment, looking towards countries such as India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka - where courses were taught in English and aligned to the UK's General Medical Council, as a consequence of colonial rule.\"\n\nPhysician associates are a relatively new role within the NHS\n\nMeanwhile, Anita Charlesworth, director of Research and Economics at the think tank, the Health Foundation, argues the UK has perpetually trained lower numbers of medical and nursing students than it needs.\n\nShe said: \"There is not a problem that we don't have enough bright, young people who would meet the standards and would love to have a career in medicine and nursing.\n\n\"They just can't get a place. We have systematically trained fewer than we need.\"\n\nAnd she suggests being able to recruit doctors and nurses from overseas has offered a \"get out of jail card\" for successive staff shortages.\n\nDr Mark Porter, of the doctors' union, the British Medical Association, argues we have generally staffed a health service we can afford - rather than look at what the population needs.\n\nBut he says planning for the NHS workforce of the future is not easy.\n\nHe said: \"It is difficult to get planning perfect for every one of 50 or 60 specialities all of the time.\n\n\"The population's needs are genuinely not quite as predictable as one might imagine.\n\n\"We know the trajectory illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes are taking over the next five years.\n\n\"But what about the next 25 years?\n\n\"Will public health messages and new technology be successful, or won't they?\n\n\"The answer could give us completely different trajectories in the future.\"\n\nNurses starting work on the first day of the NHS\n\nFor its part, the government says it plans to increase the numbers of doctors and nurses it trains and boost other healthcare staff too.\n\nAt the Conservative Party conference in October 2016, Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, said: \"My job is to prepare the NHS for the future, and that means doing something today that we have never done properly before, and that's training enough doctors.\"\n\nThe government announced there would be up to an extra 1,500 medical school places each year from 2018 in England.\n\nAnd, looking back, the NHS Confederation said there had been an extra 32,467 doctors employed in England in 2014 compared with 2004.\n\nHealth chiefs also say current plans to scrap nurse bursaries will help increase the number of nurse training places available this year - though whether this will work in practice is unclear and has been disputed by nursing leaders.\n\nOther positions such as nurse apprentices and physician associates are being explored.\n\nPhysician associates (PAs) - trained to do some of the jobs junior doctors do, might be able to cut some pressures on wards.\n\nBut current numbers are tiny, most cannot prescribe and they are not professionally regulated in the same way doctors are.\n\nMs Charlesworth is worried options for filling shortages quickly might be running out.\n\nShe said: \"There's a massive gap globally now in the number of doctors and nurses compared to projected demand.\n\n\"So India keeps many more of its doctors.\n\n\"It has fantastic leading hospitals that are an exciting place to work if you are a young Indian doctor.\n\n\"There is a global shortage of clinical healthcare staff.\"\n\nAnd of course there is another issue to consider.\n\nIt is estimated about 10% doctors and 7% of nurses working in the NHS in England are nationals of other EU countries.\n\nThe question is - could Brexit make NHS recruitment and retention problems even worse?\n\nTo find out more and to hear some possible solutions, listen to: BBC Radio 4 - In Business, The NHS- The Recruitment Dilemma.\n\nPresented by Smitha Mundasad and produced by Rosamund Jones\n• None BBC Radio 4 - In Business, The NHS- The Recruitment Dilemma", "Donald Trump and his wife Melania visited a group of supporters at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.\n\n\"This is a gorgeous room.

Quite funny, isn't it, how things work out? He was my favourite cricketer until that point.\n\n\"I think he was worse for wear, That was his excuse when he replied [on Twitter]. It was so embarrassing, as well. He didn't even just say, 'No'. He handed me off, as well.\"\n\nHowever, it appears the two made up after the win over Tomic, with Evans tweeting a picture of himself at a Melbourne Stars game in the BBL on Saturday.\n\nBBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller asked if he had got the tickets from Pietersen and Evans replied with the message of \"sure did\".\n\n'He would have been proud of my efforts'\n\nImmediately after winning the final point of the match against Tomic, Evans was overcome with emotion and was seen pointing up to the sky.\n\nHe later revealed it was a tribute to his former coach Julien Hoferlin, who died of cancer last year.\n\nIn 2014 Hoferlin criticised Evans, saying tennis was just a \"brief interlude in his life\".\n\nSpeaking after his victory on Friday, Evans told the BBC: \"When he [Horferlin] coached me I didn't give 100% at the time and there was off-court stuff he wasn't happy with.\n\n\"I wish he could have seen what happened tonight, he would have been proud of my efforts. He always said I could do it and that I should be playing top-40 tennis. Tonight was for him.\"\n\nEvans managed to overcome being distracted by an unruly spectator at the Hisense Arena.\n\n\"This guy was coughing as I was throwing the ball up, as well as screaming at me when I was losing points,\" he said.\n\nEvans was also asked about comments from Tomic's father and coach, John, who once told him he was not good enough to train with his son.\n\nThe British number three said Tomic Sr congratulated him in the changing room after the match.\n\n\"It was nice of him,\" added Evans. \"I didn't have a problem with him at all, to be honest. It was his opinion.\"", "The death of George Michael continues to dominate several newspaper front pages.\n\nThe Daily Mirror leads with an exclusive interview with Michael's partner, Fadi Fawaz, who reveals he slept in a car on the night the star died.\n\nIt also says Mr Fawaz denied he was responsible for several posts that appeared on his Twitter account claiming the singer \"wanted to die\" and had \"finally managed it\" after \"trying to kill himself several times\".\n\nMr Fawaz said his Twitter account had been hacked and that the account has since been shut down.\n\nThe new year attack on the Reina nightclub in Istanbul was, for the Daily Mail, the \"massacre of the beautiful people\".\n\nThe Guardian says the venue has earned a reputation as the place to be seen among Turkey's young, secular elite - attracting footballers from the top Turkish sides, TV stars, tourists, business people and celebrities from around the world.\n\nThe i's story says that for those who had wished for a new year that would see a diminution of the bloody attacks that have convulsed Turkey in recent months, their hopes survived unblemished for less than ninety minutes.\n\nAn hour after the gilded youth of Istanbul and well-heeled Middle East revellers had cheered the advent of the new year, the Times reports, the gunman began shooting and the noise turned from music to gunshots and screams.\n\nIt was by no means Turkey's worst terrorist incident, the Daily Telegraph says, but the timing and death toll among foreign nationals who were in the city to celebrate the arrival of 2017 seems intended to rip the heart out of Istanbul's tourism, and it must not be allowed to do so, the paper adds.\n\nThe prime minister is to overhaul the honours system after making clear that controversial appointments in the new year list had been put forward under David Cameron's tenure, the Times reports.\n\nAccording to the paper, Theresa May wants the honours system to have five priorities.\n\nIt will recognise those who boost the economy; support young people in achieving their potential; aid social mobility; help local communities; and tackle discrimination.\n\nThe government's plans for new garden villages in England make the lead for the Daily Telegraph.\n\nIt says Theresa May's first announcement of 2017 suggests her government will make housing one of its main priorities in the year ahead.\n\nThe ambitious scheme has won support from campaign groups - it adds - despite earlier concerns that the developments would lead to urban sprawl and put added pressure on infrastructure.\n\nThe Queen's absence from church for the second weekend in a row because of a lingering heavy cold is the Daily Mail's main story.\n\nThe paper has been told that she's on the mend, but has developed a hacking cough.\n\nA source is quoted as saying: \"Her Majesty doesn't like going to church with a cough because she thinks it's off-putting for other celebrants.\"\n\n\"Get better soon, Ma'am\", is the paper's headline.\n\nThe Guardian led with a warning from Britain's top GP that surgeries will have to stop seeing patients at some points during the week unless the government abandons its drive to guarantee access to family doctors across the weekend.\n\nDr Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, tells the paper that ministers are ignoring the lack of demand among patients to see GPs at weekends and the serious shortage of family doctors.\n\nA number of papers also criticise the annual increase in rail fares that comes into effect today.\n\nThe Daily Mail reports that even if the train companies provided a decent service, the £600 average increase in the cost of annual season tickets since 2010 would be monstrous.\n\nAt this time of disruption by the unions, it adds, the rises are simply inexcusable.\n\nIn the Telegraph's view, while it's reasonable for people to be asked to fork out more for a better service, it's galling to have to stump up more for trains that don't arrive or are jam-packed if they do.\n\nThe Daily Mail also runs with a story saying cabinet ministers have urged Theresa May to threaten the House of Lords with a \"bloodbath\" if peers seek to frustrate Brexit.\n\nAccording to the paper, senior Tories say the Prime Minister should stand ready to threaten the upper chamber with abolition or a huge cut in numbers and powers.\n\nAn un-named minister tells the paper: \"We will be sending a one-line bill to the Lords on triggering Article 50. If they send it back to the Commons, it should be returned with a second line added - the abolition of the Lords\".\n\nA Daily Telegraph investigation reveals that British expatriates are flying to the UK from their Spanish homes to earn lucrative sums as carers for the elderly, amid a spiralling crisis in social care.\n\nThe paper says thousands of expats are funding lifestyles in the sun by jetting in for fortnightly placements to take sole charge of the vulnerable, with just a few days' training.\n\nAccording to the report, many of the recruits have no professional qualifications or previous experience and are driven by financial desperation after a downturn in the Spanish economy, or to supplement income from businesses such as bars and restaurants.\n\nA familiar sight in some newspapers at this time of year is pictures of new year revellers worse for wear after a night of partying and drinking in city centres across the country.\n\nThe Daily Express says many partygoers drank so much they were unable to stand or speak.\n\n\"While some young women struggled to stay upright in towering high heels, others gave up completely and simply lay down, befuddled.\"\n\n\"Many cared little for their modesty\", the paper goes on, and they braved \"the cold and pouring rain in outfits more suited to high summer than mid-winter.\"\n\nWriting in the Daily Mail, Sarah Vine expresses her concern in an article headlined \"Pictures that make me weep for today's young women\".\n\nThe Sun has pictures of what it calls the \"bedlam\" in Hull - and quotes one reveller as saying it wasn't a good advert for the UK City of Culture.", "Can Jeremy Corbyn reach out beyond Labour Party members?\n\n\"Our job is to make Jeremy Corbyn the Left's Donald Trump\", whispered a political adviser over cold sausage rolls at Labour's annual Christmas party,\n\n\"Trump shows if we take the anti-establishment message and run with it, anything is possible\".\n\nThis most unlikely of strategies, to replicate the electoral tactics of a man Mr Corbyn has called divisive and wrong, is clear.\n\nIf you have lost trust in politicians, well, don't go for fake anti-elitism. Go for the real thing. Corbyn.\n\nThe Labour leader's office are convinced that the anti-elitist wave which delivered Jeremy Corbyn the leadership twice is the same that brought President Trump and Brexit.\n\nHow do they ride that wave? Efforts will be made in the early part of the year to roll out radical retail policies on the economy and the cost of living, with an attempt at every turn to avoid the potentially sticky wicket of Brexit.\n\nWhether he will be able to sell his message beyond Labour's 515,000 members remains to be seen but we should see a return to the campaign rallies and speaking tours that played such a part of his summer 2015 leadership bid.\n\nCan Jeremy Corbyn ride the wave of anti-elitism that delivered Donald Trump the US presidency?\n\nHarnessing the energy of large crowds and speaking direct through TV into the living rooms of the general public, rather like one Donald J Trump, will be just one part of a new turbo-charged media strategy.\n\nThis will be first put to the test in the Copeland by-election. The resignation of Jamie Reed, one of Mr Corbyn's most prominent critics, will mean the party having to defend a 2,500 majority in a seat which Labour has held since 1935.\n\nIt should be an easy hold for an opposition party taking on a mid-term government; after all a governing party hasn't made a by-election gain, without a defection, for 56 years.\n\nThe bookies think the Conservatives have a good chance of taking the seat, but after outperforming many people's expectations in Oldham West and Royton, it would be foolish to write Labour off six weeks before voting begins.\n\nAndy Burnham's mayoral bid in Manchester will be among high-profile contests\n\nNext year's set of local elections will take place on 4 May and will see elections to English, Scottish and Welsh councils, as well as the first set of elections for newly created regional mayors.\n\nThe most high-profile race for Labour will be Andy Burnham's attempt to become the first directly elected mayor of the Manchester region. But there will be more competitive elections in the West Midlands, where MEP Sion Simon faces a challenge from Andy Street - the former managing director of John Lewis - who is standing for the Conservatives.\n\nOutside of the inaugural mayoral contests, there will be elections to 34 councils in England.\n\nThis will be a challenging environment for the Labour Party; back in 2013 the party made substantial gains and is facing elections in swathes of safe Conservative shire areas.\n\nThe 2013 vote share of 29% was actually two points behind their final general election result and a replication of this result would not be too surprising.\n\nThe danger, perhaps, would be if Labour fell into third place behind a resurgent UKIP and Conservative Party. Should that happen, then it is likely the carefully maintained silence of Mr Corbyn's opponents within the Parliamentary Labour Party will break.\n\nPerhaps the most consequential battles will be outside national electoral contests and within the movement itself.\n\nLen McCluskey will face re-election for general secretary of Unite in April. Few individuals have been as vital as the leader of the UK's biggest union to preserving Jeremy Corbyn's position.\n\nModerates are organising hard to elect Gerard Coyne, a close friend of Tom Watson, someone who, they think, could deliver thousands of votes for a moderate candidate in a future leadership contest.\n\nMomentum, the powerful grassroots organisation that supports Mr Corbyn's leadership, will also face internal challenges in 2017.\n\nSince the party conference in Liverpool, a bitter dispute has broken out over who should hold the reins of power.\n\nThe organisation is facing internal squabbles over its future direction with a concerted effort to remove Corbyn ally Jon Lansman from his leadership role.\n\nMomentum tearing itself apart could seriously imperil Jeremy Corbyn's efforts to make Labour a movement. This will be, of course, with a Parliamentary party doggedly against him but maintaining a Trappist silence following Mr Corbyn's 2016 re-election as Labour leader.\n\nIn all of this the key question for Jeremy Corbyn will be whether he can translate the powerful populist movement that took him to the leadership of his party in 2015 and 2016 onto a national stage.\n\nPolling, with Labour at its lowest ebb since the dog days of Gordon Brown's government, suggests that it is a tall order.\n\nBut if 2016 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nBayern Munich assistant Paul Clement has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal to become Swansea City's next manager.\n\nThe German side allowed the 44-year-old speak to the Swans, who are bottom of the Premier League.\n\nClement was interviewed by the club before Bob Bradley was appointed as their manager in October.\n\nHe is set to be Swansea's third manager of the season and it is likely he will be at Selhurst Park for their game against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.\n\nBayern said on Tuesday they had appointed a new assistant to boss Carlo Ancelotti, with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying: \"We wanted to give Paul the chance to manage in the Premier League, not stop him.

The project has developed into The National Geographic Photo Ark, and its portraits have made it on to National Geographic Magazine covers and have been projected on to buildings - the UN Building and Empire State Building in New York and the Vatican in Rome.\n\nAn image of \"Toughie\" projected onto St Peter's Basilica © Photo by Joel Sartore/National Geographic Photo Ark\n\nSome of the species captured by the Photo Ark are on the verge of extinction.\n\nThis year, Sartore photographed Toughie, the world's last known living Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog.\n\nToughie was captured in Panama in 2005 by conservationists attempting to save as many amphibians as possible from chytrid fungus, a skin disease that can have a 100% mortality rate among frogs.\n\nHe was brought back to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in Georgia where he mated with captured females, but none of his tadpoles survived and his female companions died. Sartore took Toughie's portrait shortly before he also died, in September this year.\n\n\"I try to talk about him every time I give public presentations because instead of getting depressed about him going extinct, I'm going to use his story to hopefully inspire others to care,\" he says.\n\nSartore has also photographed one of the last surviving northern white rhinos in a zoo in the Czech Republic.\n\n\"We got to her just in time,\" he says of the animal, who was called Nabire.\n\n\"We got a very nice portrait of her and she laid down and went to sleep at the end of the shoot because she slept a lot at the end of her life.\"\n\nShe died about a week later.\n\nWith her death, and the death of another northern white rhino in San Diego not long afterwards, there are only three of the species left, all living under armed-guard in Kenya. They are too old to breed, though a conservation project is attempting to create an embryo through IVF which would be implanted in the womb of a similar rhino species.\n\n\"It's not just the little things we're allowing to slip into extinction,\" says Sartore.\n\n\"It's the big stuff too, unfortunately.\"\n\nSartore hopes his project will eventually document 12,000 species and become a resource for future generations. He also hopes it will prevent other species from meeting the same fate as Toughie and Nola.\n\n\"At least 75-80% of the species that I've photographed could be saved from extinction, but people need to know they exist first and they need to fall in love with them and want to learn how they can help them,\" he says.\n\nWhile there's an understanding that bigger animals, like polar bears and tigers, are under threat, Sartore says there is not enough awareness of the plight of smaller ones like rodents, toads and bats.\n\n\"The goal of Photo Ark is to celebrate all creatures great and small and to let people know that as these other species go away, so could we,\" he says.\n\n\"It's in humanity's interest not to throw away all of creation - to keep things around so we have a healthy planet.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Paul Nuttall, left, is hoping to push Labour hard in UKIP's post-Farage era\n\nIs UKIP the most successful party in the history of British politics? Or an amateurish rabble which has lost its reason to exist? Or maybe a bit of both?\n\nThe UK Independence Party was founded in 1993 with one main goal: to take the UK out of the European Union.\n\nBack then, the idea was way outside the political mainstream. But on 23 June the country narrowly voted to leave and Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May has vowed to implement the people's decision.\n\nSo what is the point of UKIP after Brexit?\n\nLeader Paul Nuttall will have three main priorities for the year ahead as it faces a potentially tricky set of local elections, defending many of the council seats won in the 2013 surge:\n\n\"Brexit means Brexit,\" says Mrs May, but as of yet, we don't know many more details.\n\nShe says she will trigger Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty before the end of March, starting two years of divorce negotiations. But there are many unresolved questions.\n\nShould the UK continue to pay into the European budget and accept the free movement of people, in exchange for closer economic ties? Or should it pursue what some call a \"clean\" and others a \"hard\" Brexit, severing the link more definitively?\n\nUKIP is firmly in the second camp. \"The British people voted for Brexit, so we could control our borders, leave the single market, and create our own laws,\" the party says.\n\nIt will be on hair-trigger alert in 2017, ready to campaign against anything it sees as Brexit backsliding from the government.\n\nDespite its remarkable successes in 2016, at times UKIP resembled a circular firing squad.\n\nNigel Farage, UKIP's longest-serving leader and best known public face, does not get on with the party's only MP Douglas Carswell, or former deputy chair Suzanne Evans.\n\nDiane James last just 18 days as UKIP leader\n\nDiane James resigned as leader in October only 18 days into the job, causing Mr Farage to take over on an interim basis before Mr Nuttall's election.\n\nIt is hard to keep track of the various alliances and schisms. Ideological differences exist within UKIP like in all parties. But often the differences seem to be more personal than political.\n\nThe party's most ignominious fight - whether it was a literal one or not - of 2016 saw one-time leadership favourite Steven Woolfe in hospital in October following an alleged \"altercation\" with fellow MEP Mike Hookem at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.\n\nMr Woolfe subsequently left the party, saying it was \"ungovernable\" and in a \"death spiral\". But an internal report by the party said it could not \"verify\" whether a fight had taken place, and Mr Hookem denied striking his colleague.\n\nIf UKIP is to remain a serious force, Mr Nuttall will have to contain these sorts of tensions.\n\nAfter comfortably winning his leadership election in November, two days shy of his 40th birthday, he has appointed a team from across the party.\n\nThings seem more stable than at any time since the referendum. For now.\n\nUKIP began as a thorn in the side of the Conservative Party.\n\nBut in recent years the party has had Labour voters in its sights, gaining ground in northern England and Wales.\n\nLots of Labour-supporting areas voted Leave in June, even though the party officially backed Remain.\n\nAlso, many of those who did not vote in the 2015 general election did in fact turn out for the EU referendum - and according to NatCen research a lot more of them backed Leave than backed Remain.\n\nMr Nuttall, who has working-class Northern roots, thinks these voters are closer to UKIP than Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party on policy areas such as immigration, the EU and welfare.\n\nUKIP will be hoping to win some of its support in 2017, causing existential problems for Labour.\n\nA by-election early in the new year in Copeland in Cumbria, which voted Labour in 2015 and Leave in 2016, will give an early sign of whether this approach is working.\n\nAfter one of the craziest years in British political history, the party will be hoping for a calmer 2017. But with UKIP, you can never quite be sure what lurks around the corner.\n• None Paul Nuttall: The new leader of UKIP", "The festive football action keeps coming, with no sign of the Chelsea juggernaut slowing down.\n\nThe Premier League leaders extended their winning run to 13 matches, but Liverpool and Arsenal remain in pursuit, with Manchester City out of the top four after Tottenham's thumping win at Watford.\n\nAt the other end of the table, Swansea and Sunderland were both humbled, while champions Leicester got a much-needed win.\n\nThere seems to be a correlation between Kasper Schmeichel being in goal and Leicester City keeping clean sheets.\n\nThey haven't kept that many this season and that's probably why the Foxes are mightily relieved to have their number one back between the sticks.\n\nInjuries are an occupational hazard for any footballer, and some might argue you can't enjoy the full experience of top-flight football until you have felt the misery of a long-term injury and the sheer euphoria of the return.\n\nOf course Kasper's father Peter (an infinitely better keeper, by the way) would have schooled him in the arts of football survival. Considering the way Leicester have been defending this season, that may come in very handy.\n\nI was very tempted to select Bournemouth's Simon Francis at right-back, but I was so impressed with Manchester United's comeback that I had to go for Antonio Valencia.\n\nThe game against Middlesbrough was going away from United and they needed a few cool heads to see them through. If there is one player they can count on, it's Valencia. The full-back is as safe as houses.\n\nValencia was one of those players who shut the game down for United once they got their noses in front.\n\nIn the final minutes, Valencia had no hesitation launching the ball into the crowd in order to relieve the pressure and kill the game. Sometimes even exceptional defenders can't afford to be too proud to do what needs be done.\n\nWhat a thumping header by the Chelsea captain.\n\nVictory over Stoke made it 13 consecutive wins for the Blues and there was a touch of inevitability about the outcome of this match. Did anyone really believe Stoke could pull this off?\n\nTo be fair, the Potters went to Stamford Bridge and gave the Blues a game and were even the better side in the early exchanges, but there was only one winner.\n\nIt's not common for Stoke to concede goals from a corner but the way in which a Chelsea quartet descended upon Cesc Fabregas' beautiful floated corner was like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.\n\nI've never before seen a Stoke defence bulldozed down like that on a set-play. It was Cahill who scored the goal but it was Chelsea's heavy mob that contributed to Stoke's total destruction.\n\nIt has been some time since Wes Morgan made my team of the week. Last season he was practically ever-present, but Leicester's preoccupation with the Champions League seems to have created a Premier League paralysis.\n\nHowever, against a stubborn West Ham they managed a rare clean sheet, which was the basis upon which last season's title success.\n\nClaudio Ranieri's celebration at the end of this fixture was telling enough, and without these three points Leicester would have been in big trouble.\n\nMorgan's contribution was central to their clean sheet and it was just as well.\n\nJames Milner is making me eat my words. When I saw him in Liverpool's worst performance of the season against Burnley, I accused the England man of being a square peg in a round hole.\n\nA right-footed midfield player playing left-back? He looked awkward and was exposed.\n\nAdmittedly his team-mates weren't much help that day, but since then he has grown into the part beautifully.\n\nHe has been Liverpool's best player during the past four games and never gave Manchester City's Raheem Sterling a kick on his return to Anfield.\n\nIn fact, the battle between Milner and Sterling was the highlight of the game for me. It was like a throwback to the 1970s, when you had players like George Best and Ron Harris going at it for 90 minutes, only without the brutality. I must admit, Jurgen Klopp has certainly got that one right.\n\nIt's been a great Christmas period for Paul Pogba. He was inspirational against Sunderland and a match-winner against Middlesbrough.\n\nPlease don't think for one minute that his header against Boro that gave United all three points was easy. He didn't panic and steered the ball in the only place Victor Valdes could not retrieve it.\n\nI've seen those last-ditch efforts float wide of the post all too often, but Pogba absolutely nailed it. He's getting there.\n\nThe finish with his left foot was brilliant and the one he scored with his right was even better.\n\nChelsea had just conceded for the second time in this match against Stoke but on each occasion the Blues raised their game. The touch from Diego Costa that set up Willian to score his first goal was sensational, but the Brazilian still had much to do and did it with calculated precision.\n\nHowever, it was Fabregas who cut Stoke's throats with a glorious through ball for Willian, who smashed it past visiting goalkeeper Lee Grant.\n\nLiverpool boss Klopp and Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola spent the week stroking each other's artichokes prior to their meeting at Anfield, but neither of them can hold a candle to Antonio Conte and what he is doing with Willian and company at the moment.\n\nWinning at Southampton was a very impressive performance by West Brom and in particular Matt Phillips, who is having an excellent season.\n\nHe took his goal brilliantly and from that moment there was no coming back for the Saints.\n\nIt's been a miserable holiday period for Southampton since their controversial defeat by Tottenham and they never really looked like they had recovered from that mauling in time for the match against the Baggies.\n\nWhat Tony Pulis has going at The Hawthorns is nothing short of miraculous. The purchase of Phillips has been inspired.\n\nDele Alli is officially 'in the mood'. Just like the old Glenn Miller classic, the player looks upbeat and gets you on your feet.\n\nFrom the moment he struck the bar with a cracking drive, I knew he was up for the Tottenham game at Watford.\n\nTo be fair, this performance against a poor Hornets side was a continuation of his display against Southampton.\n\nSpurs have been desperate for someone to share the goalscoring responsibilities with Harry Kane, and Alli has duly obliged. We've now got to get him playing for England the way he is playing for Spurs.\n\nHarry Kane is back to his best again and he hasn't been looking like that for a while.\n\nThe first signs of a more relaxed, but purposeful, Kane were against Southampton and he would have capped an excellent performance that night had the earth not moved beneath his feet as he was about to take a penalty.\n\nHis all-round display against Watford was fantastic, not to mention his two goals. I have had a real dilemma this weekend having seen Diego Costa play one of his best games for Chelsea, Kane playing like he's finally put the European Championship behind him and Andre Gray scoring his first hat-trick.\n\nI couldn't have had three more exciting candidates. Sadly, Costa has hit the cutting-room floor but somebody had to.\n\nIt is good to see Andre Gray playing football and scoring goals again.\n\nI was more than a little perturbed by the severity of the punishment imposed by the Football Association for his inappropriate Twitter remarks four years earlier. How sad that the governing body had no room for redemption.\n\nMuch has changed since those remarks and an extremely apologetic Gray seems far more mature than he was four years ago but, nevertheless, he took his medicine like a man. He took his goals against Sunderland in a similar fashion too.", "In India, 2016 has been a year of political surprises, alcohol ban and heated debates about nationalism, and plenty of other news in between.\n\nThe BBC's in-house cartoonist Kirtish Bhat picks five news events to give his humorous take on 2016.\n\nTwo news events in February were all about freedom. One firm launched the world's cheapest smartphone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.67; £3), and called it Freedom 251. At the same time, police arrested some students in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University for allegedly raising anti-India slogans, and demanding \"freedom\" for Kashmir from Indian rule. The students denied the allegations, but they were charged with sedition.

He is currently living in the UK, and hasn't returned to India despite repeated summons by the authorities.\n\nWhen the chief minister of the eastern state of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, promised during his election campaign that he would ban the sale and consumption of alcohol if elected, not many thought he would actually do it.

But his critics say that he has been concentrating more on foreign policy, and travelling the world.\n\nIn one of the biggest surprises of 2016, Mr Modi on 8 November announced the scrapping of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes to crack down on corruption and illegal cash holdings known as \"black money\". The sudden announcement made many people's cash worthless.", "His was the face which launched a thousand memes - so why did Harambe the gorilla capture 2016's collective online psyche?\n\nIt was a sad story that could have been even sadder. In May, a three-year-old child fell into an enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo. One of the Western lowland gorillas inside started dragging the boy around.\n\n\"Mommy's right here! Mommy loves you!\" the boy's mother shouted, as bystanders became increasingly panicked.\n\nFinally, fearing that the boy's life was in danger, a zoo worker killed Harambe with a single shot. The boy escaped without serious injury.\n\nThe events were captured on a YouTube video which has been watched millions of times.\n\nHarambe's death touched off a heated - if predictable - debate about zoo welfare standards and whether lethal force was necessary.\n\nBut what wasn't expected was what came next. Harambe became memeified. His image was spread far and wide throughout the internet. He became the subject of serious and unserious campaigns. And he was even memorialised in song.\n\nJoin the conversation on this and other stories here.\n\nIt started as a spontaneous and very real outpouring of shock and grief over the killing.\n\n\"Had I been there, I would have gone into the enclosure myself,\" says Frank Paris, one of the people who used the hashtag #RIPHarambe to express his sadness. It quickly began to spread hours after the gorilla's death.\n\nAlthough he lived a few states away in Los Angeles, Paris, along with many others, was upset at Cincinnati Zoo's decision to kill the animal.\n\n\"That day was a very sad day for me,\" he tells BBC Trending. \"I absolutely would have risked my own life to save the boy. That's how sure I am that the boy was fine and that Harambe had no intention of hurting anybody.\"\n\nOf course, that's just one reaction from someone thousands of miles away, whereas zoo officials say they were right to take action to stop any potential serious injury to the boy.\n\nBut Paris was not alone in his grief and anger.\n\nAside from his canonisation on social media, there were candlelit vigils for Harambe. There were also campaigns targeted the boy's parents. Some online called for them to be prosecuted for negligence. The boy's mother was cleared of any wrongdoing.\n\n\"There was definitely a sincere element of outrage over this,\" says Aja Romano, who writes about web culture for news site Vox.\n\n\"It just spiralled out of control and was immediately a giant social trend, because it involved an element of supposed animal cruelty. You could argue that by keeping Harambe in the zoo to begin with, the zoo was fostering this unfair environment where the gorilla didn't really have a chance.\"\n\nThat wave of emotion was in turn hijacked by comedians, pranksters and trolls who mocked those who were making so much of the story.\n\n\"People online kind of get off on being mad about things that they don't actually care about,\" says Brandon Wardell, a stand-up comedian and one of those who poked fun at the Harambe mourners. \"You didn't know Harambe, your life wasn't really affected by this.\"\n\nWardell coined a jokey phrase that - to put it one way - sarcastically encouraged people to expose themselves in tribute to the dead gorilla.\n\n\"I think I was probably drunk when I tweeted it and then it just got out of control,\" he tells Trending.\n\nIt got him branded the \"voice of a generation\" by Rolling Stone magazine.\n\nThen things took a dark turn when the memes were picked up by the alt-right, an amorphous but internet savvy white nationalist movement.\n\nThe gorilla's image was used in racist messages.\n\n\"I feel like it was driven to the ground so quickly,\" Wardell recalls. \"It stopped being funny to me two days after.\n\n\"I didn't love that there were Nazis that were all of a sudden into a meme that I created.\"\n\nBut the Harambe phenomenon was also too large to be totally owned by one fringe group. The Cincinnati zoo declared itself unimpressed with all the riffs on its dead animal - but that certainly didn't put an end to the jokes. Memes comparing Harambe to David Bowie, Prince and Muhammad Ali have since gone viral. He's been the subject of fake news stories, books, comics - and a parody of the Book of Genesis.\n\nHear more on this story and others on the BBC World Service.\n\n\"If you were really tired of seeing media hysteria dominate news cycles and dominate conversations, the sheer absurdity of Harambe as a social issue was a really easy thing to mock,\" says Romano, the Vox writer.\n\n\"I think it spoke to a level of outrage fatigue. If you're seeing people freaking out about a dead gorilla, over say thousands of people dying in the Syrian refugee crisis, then what do you do with that anger?\n\n\"The only way to sort of express your anger was to just turn this sort of worship of Harambe and turn this deep cultural grief over Harambe's death into a meme.\"\n\nIndeed, not just any meme, but the meme of 2016.\n\nYou can follow BBC Trending on Twitter @BBCtrending, and find us on Facebook.

It is a continent that feels like it has come of age. Despite the very real problems of poverty, corruption and the sense you sometimes get in some quarters, that no-one is held to account, business types hail Africa as the \"final frontier\". After nearly 12 years reporting this region, for me it feels like a place where one grows up.\n\nI have met priests and politicians, warlords and entrepreneurs, gangsters and teachers. Ordinary mums and dads. Each of them has helped to shape my impressions and many have become firm friends.\n\nOne of the first lessons I learnt in Kenya was survival. There is no safety net here when times get tough.\n\nIn the early days on a visit to the slum known as Kibera, an elderly lady called me over as she stirred her supper in a thick, black, cast-iron pot. \"Hey sister, where are you from?\" she asked. \"London,\" I replied. \"Yes, but where in London?\" I was rather puzzled as she pressed me further. \"I know London,\" she nodded, sagely. \"In fact, I know Paris and Berlin, too.\"\n\nIt emerged that this friendly stranger had once been a glamorous stewardess for an international airline. She had drunk the best champagne and visited the fanciest European hotels but when times got hard in the 1980s and the airline folded, she lost her job.\n\nShe was now selling samosas in the slum to survive. From that day onwards I learnt never to make any assumptions about Africa: a jet-setter one day, a slum dweller the next. It is the drumbeat of so many who take the knocks, but reclaim their dignity and survive.\n\nYet, in absolute terms, people are getting poorer in Africa because the population continues to grow. During my time on this continent I witnessed a colleague of mine - away from the BBC - lose two of his three young children. That is never OK.\n\nWhen I arrived in Africa more than a decade ago, Boko Haram in Nigeria did not exist, Somalia's al-Shabab insurgency group had yet to be formed - not to mention so-called Islamic State - and Sudan was one vast, sprawling country emerging from more than two decades of civil war.\n\nI arrived to a continent of 53 states. I now leave behind 54. South Sudan's independence in 2011 marked the newest addition to the globe. The birth pains are still being felt.\n\nWhen I arrived, George W Bush was beginning his second term as US president, oil and gas had yet to be discovered in many parts of Africa and mobile phones were just beginning to open up a world of possibilities from e-commerce to telemedicine.\n\nMobile phones have transformed the lives of millions of Africans\n\nNow, two US presidents later (give or take a week or two), China has become the second-biggest investor in Africa, with India hard on its heels. The brain-drain is beginning to slow down as African talent is being retained, especially in the technology sector.\n\nAnd there is more money flowing back into Africa from remittances, than the entire aid budget for the continent.\n\nWith this growing economic confidence, powered by a rising middle class, has come a new political assertiveness. And, with growing insecurity, the West knows it needs Africa more than ever before.\n\nYou see it in the UN Security Council. South Africa has held its ground on issues such as Libya during the fall of Gaddafi. The African Union is pushing for permanent seats and a greater say in world affairs as the continent now contributes more troops to peacekeeping operations than anywhere else on earth.\n\nYou see this assertiveness in matters of international justice. Countries like South Africa and Burundi have turned their backs on the International Criminal Court.\n\nAnd you see this push back on matters of wider society and the tussle between the old way of doing things and what some see as imported Western ideas.\n\nGay rights remain a controversial subject in many parts of the continent\n\nA rapidly growing young urban class, more connected with the world through mobile phones, is making new demands, touching on everything from gender equality to gay rights.\n\nA young female couple I met in Kenya back in 2006 had been forced out of their business as florists because word had got out that they happened to be gay.\n\nIn Uganda, activists like David Kato would be murdered a few years later, for the simple fact that he was gay. Yet slowly, very slowly, there has been a perceptible shift. Constitutions are being shaken up.\n\nBut there is still a tangible sense of mistrust between many African nations. Principles of sovereignty and non-interference, just like in many other parts of the world, are jealously guarded.\n\nAnd the settling of old scores between neighbouring continues to be played out in places such as Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and its newer neighbour South Sudan.\n\nIn many places, the slow roll-out of infrastructure is blamed for underscoring this continued sense of separation and investors say corruption continues to frighten off potential investors.\n\nKaren Allen reporting from an internally displaced persons' camp in Chad\n\nYet 2016 saw the creation of the first continent-wide trading bloc. At the moment only 10% of the continent's trade is conducted between African nations. But the potential is huge - 620 million consumers.\n\nThe political landscape is also being redrawn. Regrettably, I have been banned from working inside Zimbabwe, where Robert Mugabe's leadership persists. And, as I write, the presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo and The Gambia are resisting pressure to stand down.\n\nBut transfers of power are happening more peacefully. We have seen it, for instance, in Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal, and maybe also in Angola, where President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos has ruled supreme for the past 37 years but has indicated that he will not stand again for re-election.\n\nI never really understood that institutions mattered until I moved to South Africa but, oh, how they do. The country's history may set it apart from other African states but South Africa's constitutional court, its free press and parliament have all challenged the legitimacy of President Jacob Zuma.\n\nAnd no-one has been killed for speaking out. It is a template other nations are keen to follow and I predict that, for many, it will soon come.", "While black dolls can be bought online, they are absent from the shelves of many British toy stores\n\nAn internet search for black dolls will bring up about 20 million results in less than a second - but parents have discovered the toys to be increasingly hard to find on the shelves of High Street stores.

If they don't, it could affect our children, because they grow up having been affected by all sorts of things.\"\n\nA dark-skinned doll, carried by Johnathan Thurston's daughter Frankie at last year's Australian Rugby League final, was seen as a moment of inclusion and diversity\n\nDespite the revolution of internet shopping, some families' finances do not stretch as far as a bespoke broadband package - and on the High Street, they can find their retail options are significantly reduced.\n\nAbbey Rose, 32, who has 11-year-old and four-year-old girls and a three-year-old boy, said a lack of black dolls could stunt a child's emotional development, leading them to be \"less affectionate\".\n\n\"My four-year-old daughter said she wanted a baby doll for Christmas,\" said the black mother-of-three from Nottingham.\n\n\"I said: 'Do you want a white or black one?' She said a white one because 'they were prettier'.\"\n\nAbbey Potter, pictured with daughter Sofia-Lily, has called on toy manufacturers to \"evolve\" and produce more black dolls\n\nBut why are black dolls and toys absent from the shelves of many stores in the UK? Is the demand just not there?\n\nCensus data for 2011 from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed a population in England and Wales of 56,075,912. About 14% of these people are from non-white backgrounds - so is that enough of a market for toy companies to make big bucks?\n\nGiven that estimated 14% equates to nearly eight million people, the answer would seemingly be yes. Additionally, this somewhat unscientific calculation is assuming white parents solely buy white dolls for their children.\n\nWhile most people in England and Wales are from white backgrounds, parents believe there is more than enough demand for a greater number of black toys to feature on the shelves of high street stores\n\nBut it would appear that a lack of demand is the underlying narrative from toy firms in the UK.\n\nAn email sent in October 2015 by an executive at Zapf Creation - the firm behind the famous Baby Born and Baby Annabell dolls - said the sales of an ethnic version of its Baby Annabell went \"step-by-step down\" from 1998 to 2013.\n\nThe executive said at the end of 2013 it was decided that production of this doll would stop as of 2014.\n\n\"As a public limited company, we are forced to make decisions like that if business figures do not justify to keep a product in the range,\" the executive said.\n\nA Zapf Creation spokeswoman told the BBC: \"Whilst the black version of the Baby Annabell doll was discontinued due to lack of demand, the black version of the Baby Born Interactive doll is still in production and available to all UK toy retailers. However, some retailers take the decision not to stock all versions of the dolls and accessories due to shelf space constraints.\"\n\nLecturer Sheine Peart said white dolls and ethnic dolls should be \"side by side\" on the shelves\n\nSpeaking at the annual Toy Fair in London, Peter Ireland, from Bigjigs Toys Ltd, said the importance of black dolls was clear, but added a firm's ability to sell them might depend on the company's size.\n\n\"There's no reason why we shouldn't stock black dolls... we have far more white dolls in our range as the sales on these are greater than those of black dolls, but if we don't stock any then people are never going to get black dolls,\" he said.\n\n\"If you're [a business that is] all over the world, then you've got a bigger market, but if you're just in the UK, your market's a bit limited.\"\n\nNumerous toy companies were contacted several times by the BBC. The Entertainer declined to comment, while Disney, Smyths Toys and Toys R Us failed to respond.\n\nAn organisation that represents toy manufacturers, the British Toy & Hobby Association, said in a brief statement: \"Toy makers offer a diverse range of dolls, including different ethnicities.\"\n\nLast year, Mattel introduced its new generation Barbies, a moment hailed by black rapper, actor and producer Queen Latifah as \"the industry catching up with what the public wants\".\n\nBut a walk around four major toy store departments in ethnically-diverse Nottingham - John Lewis, Toys R Us, The Entertainer and Disney - garnered a total of three types of black doll on sale.\n\nBBC News came up short in its quest to find black toys and dolls in Nottingham's John Lewis store\n\nA black doll by Barbie manufacturer Mattel was found inside Toys R Us\n\nIn the same store, a dark-skinned DC Super Hero Girl was found - but the vast majority of the toys were white\n\nNo black toys were found in The Entertainer store in Nottingham\n\nOne type of black doll - based on Princess Tiana in The Princess and the Frog - was on sale at the Disney store in Nottingham\n\nBBC journalist Khia Lewis-Todd, who has made a film on this subject, said the toys currently on offer \"do not support\" her daughter's culture.\n\n\"Carrying out the doll test at a school and youth group in Nottingham and going to the Toy Fair opened my eyes in terms of how some children portrayed toys of ethnicity, and how some suppliers approach them,\" she said.\n\n\"Some suppliers believe they are important, but if something doesn't sell as well, why should they continue to make it? Some critics have argued this is putting profit over the importance of what children need to see.\"\n\nAccurately representing physical features is just as important as offering dolls of different skin colours, according to the Race Equality Foundation's Jane Lane\n\nJane Lane, from the Race Equality Foundation, believes the issues are not solely to do with colour.\n\n\"The key issues, I think, are not only a range of skin colour differences but accurate depictions of physical features,\" she said. \"Mouth, lip shapes, nose and eye shapes and hair texture.\n\n\"The main point about black dolls is they are, for a child, white or black, a true three-dimensional representation of real people - unlike book pictures and jigsaws.\n\n\"They need to be accurate because our society is... racist and dolls need to counter this by being positive and not stereotypical of some mythical concept.\"\n\nToy manufacturers should work closely with local communities to properly assess demand, says lecturer Sheine Peart\n\nSheine Peart, a lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, said a lack of black dolls \"marginalises\" black children.\n\n\"If I want to have black figures, Lego figures provide that, as do Playmobil, and I can buy a black Barbie and a black male doll called Steve - who's the equivalent of Ken,\" she said.\n\n\"I can buy them, but I have to hunt them out if I want to buy them as a parent. I've never seen this black Steve anywhere but I've seen Kens in the shops - it should almost be side by side.\n\n\"If there's a black child, and they see no black toys, it almost creates a colonial environment and that effectively says, 'there's no place for me'.\n\n\"It positions the black child as an outsider and not integral to society. It marginalises them. Psychologically, that probably will have some impact.\"\n\nMs Peart has called on schools across the country to help kick-start a change.\n\n\"The dolls need to be marketed more, displayed more and advertised more, and supermarkets can't put them on the shelves unless the manufacturers are producing them,\" she said.\n\n\"I'd like to see schools ensure they have a stock that is available and a stock that is replenished.\n\n\"I would also like to see manufacturers work with youth groups, schools and other members of community groups so they can find out [the need].

Buhari has himself to blame for unfortunately being a gentleman!\"\n\nNigeria's economy has a lot of ground to make up\n\nOver in The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh is no gentleman - he's chosen to squat at State House.\n\nHe lost the presidential election to Adama Barrow and publicly conceded defeat.\n\nA little later, the thought of leaving the seat he has called his own for the last 22 years overpowered him and he changed his mind.\n\nAfrica and the world have asked him to go home, but he is defiant.\n\nAs his last day in office approaches on 19 of January, the same force he used to gain power in 1994 could be used to relieve him of his office.\n\nThere are three notable people who will be bowing out of office in 2017.\n\nEllen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first elected female head of state in Africa, is coming to the end of her second and final term of office in Liberia.\n\nOne of those waiting on the touchline to join the succession race is football star George Weah.\n\nThe former AC Milan and Chelsea striker failed to score in the 2005 presidential tournament but hopes 2017 will be his year.\n\nAngolans will have a chance to replace the only man they've known as president for nearly 40 years.\n\nMany young Congolese are hoping President Kabila will go without a fight\n\nAlthough Jose Eduardo dos Santos has announced he'll step down, his blood will still flow through the veins of power and the economy in Angola.\n\nHis daughter, Isabel, heads Sonangol, the state oil company and is considered by Forbes to be Africa's richest woman, while his son, Jose, is chairman of the country's sovereign wealth fund, Fundo Soberano de Angola.\n\nIn neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, 2017 could mark the beginning of the end for another family dynasty, which started in 1997 when Laurent Desire Kabila became president after overthrowing Mobutu Sese Seko.\n\nLaurent Kabila's son Joseph picked up the reigns after his father's assassination in 2001, and was bent on staying in power until attempts to change the constitution to allow him a third term backfired.\n\nViolent street protests have piled pressure on President Kabila to exit from office this year and the issue is bound to continue into the new year.\n\nThe theme of falling is alive in South Africa.\n\nThe #FeesMustFall campaign by university students sought to fight the rising cost of higher education and saw violent clashes between police and protesters, disruptions in the university calendar and the arrest of a number of students.\n\n2017 promises more of the same because not only have the fees not fallen, some top universities have announced an 8% increase.\n\nAnd then there's the question of the country's President Jacob Zuma.\n\nHemlines are just one of the many things that could fall in 2017\n\nIn December 2017, his tenure as leader of the governing ANC party runs out, but his term as the country's president only ends in 2019.\n\nAllowing Mr Zuma to continue as head of state but with the ANC under someone else's leadership could create two centres of power, which could be political suicide.\n\nSo will the ANC #LetZumaFall as it did President Thabo Mbeki under similar circumstances?\n\nThe International Criminal Court (ICC) is another that could face the threat of falling in Africa if more African countries continue to withdraw from the Rome Statute.\n\nA number of countries have notified the UN Secretary-General of their intention to withdraw, saying the ICC unfairly targets African leaders in its application of international justice.\n\nAnd now to international trends where fashion, like history, has a habit of repeating itself.\n\nA quick glance at catwalk signs for 2017 shows that the hems of women's skirts will be falling - to just below the knee.\n\nApparently midi-skirts elongate the figure and flatter the wearer, so this must be a good fall.\n\nThe Africa Cup of Nations tournament kicks off in mid-January in Gabon and Uganda carries the hopes of East Africa.\n\nThe region has a terrible record in continental football.\n\nUganda's last appearance in the finals was in 1978 when it lost to Ghana in the final.\n\nUganda are hoping to become the first East African winners of Afcon for 55 years\n\nKenya and Tanzania have never progressed beyond the group stage, so if Uganda can rise, East Africa can stand tall.\n\nIn politics, despite all manner of socio-economic challenges, the spirit of the Africans is on the rise - they've already just about removed one long-serving president from power (The Gambia, even if he is still resisting ) and in 2017 a couple more might follow (DR Congo, Angola)\n\nWhen Africa stumbles, it must rise because as they say in Nigeria, the sun shines on those who stand before it shines on those who are sitting.", "Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union\n\nManu Tuilagi has withdrawn from England's two-day training camp after suffering a knee injury playing for Leicester Tigers.\n\nThe 25-year-old centre was forced off inside the opening eight minutes of Sunday's 16-12 defeat by Saracens.\n\nTigers expect to find out the full extent of the injury by Tuesday.\n\nBath wing Semesa Rokoduguni will replace Tuilagi when the 33-man squad meets in Brighton on Monday, with the start of the Six Nations a month away.\n\n\"It looks like a knock and a bit of swelling, but it is too early to say,\" Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio 5 live.\n\nTuilagi, who has won 26 caps for England, has been beset by injuries in the last couple of years and only recently returned to action after two months out with a groin problem.\n\nEngland head coach Eddie Jones was in the crowd at Welford Road on New Year's Day to see Tuilagi replaced after he damaged his knee while being tackled by three Sarries players.\n\n\"He's [Tuilagi] a bit cheesed off as you can imagine,\" Cockerill added. \"He has hurt the outside of his right knee.\n\n\"His groin is good, his knee is a bit sore.

Then a Facebook message changed everything.\n\nIt was on the second day of our five-day trek that I realised it was missing.\n\nWe had packed up the tents and loaded the horses. I reached up to the horse's mane to pull myself up and saw that my wrist was bare.\n\n\"My mum's bracelet! It's gone,\" I thought, and immediately burst into tears.\n\nMade from melted-down rings she inherited from her own mother, the bracelet had always been worn by my mum for almost as long as I could remember.\n\nEloise Dicker's wrist with and without the bracelet\n\nHer wrist was very slender even towards the end of her life, with steroids puffing her up like a blowfish. There came a point, however, when she couldn't wear it any more.\n\nShe had taken it off and placed it on her bedside table. While clearing up the cups and tissues, tablets and tinctures, I had picked the bracelet up and put it on.\n\nShe'd smiled, put her hand on my wrist and said how lovely it was to see me wearing it and that one day I would pass it on to my children.\n\nShe died a couple of months later, and I had never taken the bracelet off.\n\nRosemary Dicker, wearing the bracelet six months before her death on Mother's Day 2015\n\nNow I felt pain in my throat and a sinking feeling in my stomach. It could be anywhere in this vast landscape - the Tian Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia.\n\nThere was a silence as we all realised there was no point in even trying to find it. We were two days up into the mountains and surrounded by grass.\n\nI had one last look around our camp. It was no use. I couldn't re-trace my steps, we were in the middle of nowhere. I climbed back on the horse.\n\nI walked behind the others, crying and thinking. All the memories of her passing away came back to me, bit by bit.\n\nMy naked wrist still made me feel incomplete. I wanted to go back in time to the moment I decided to bring it with me. Why hadn't I left it at home?\n\nBut maybe it was meant to be here, I thought to myself. Mum was born in Hong Kong and grew up in the UK, and this was half way.\n\nAn endless lush landscape with wild horses, snowy peaks, birds of prey and the sound of the river. Maybe it should be lost here.\n\nThat night I looked in the tents with a bit of hope left that it might be in some corner. Nothing.\n\nI crawled into my sleeping bag feeling deeply sad, and accepted it was gone for good.\n\nLater, in the city of Karakol, recovering from our trek, I visited the Russian Orthodox church.\n\nI was just about to leave, having lit a candle in remembrance of my mother, when the Russian nun took my arm and walked me to a painting of the Virgin Mary.\n\nShe kissed the glass frame of the picture and gestured that I do the same. I'm not a believer, and was not brought up religious in any way, but I followed her invitation.\n\nWhen I kissed the glass I looked up at the picture. I started crying. The picture was adorned with gold necklaces and rings.\n\nIt was feeling just how jewellery was so significant to humans that made me cry. As a student of anthropology, I have always been interested in the meaning we humans ascribe to objects.\n\nJewellery by its very nature says: Look at me, see what I can afford, observe what I was given, admire how significant I am.\n\nWhen inherited from a beloved, it also brings people into relationship, solidifying a kinship or affection, creating a sense of connectedness and of presence.\n\nThat bracelet was a physical part of my mother who is no longer physically in the world. It became part of me, and now was gone.\n\nI had already made peace with the loss of the bracelet when, some weeks after I had returned to Europe, I received a Facebook message from Elaman Asanbaev, one of the guides from the Community-Based Tourism (CBT) office in Karakol.\n\nThere was a picture attached. \"This is it or not, I don't know,\" he asked.\n\nIt was it. It was the bracelet.\n\nIt was suddenly back in existence, but what should I do? Should I get Elaman to send it? Should I leave it there? Ask him to throw it in the river?\n\nWhen I looked into secure courier services, they advised against sending precious stones or metals. I was also reluctant to trust the postal system, it being so far away.\n\nIt did occur to me that I could find someone who would be travelling there, but when I saw that flights were cheap in November I decided I would go and get it myself.\n\nLondon-Moscow-Bishkek. Then a six-hour drive from the capital Bishkek to Karakol with Azamat Asanov, the CBT manager. It was 05:00 and -11C in the capital, the roads icy with thick snow.\n\nAs we drove, I watched the country waking up. Children in their winter clothes walking to school, horses with snow on their backs, men in the traditional pointed Kyrgyz hats known as kalpaks.\n\nThe next morning we picked up Elaman. \"This is for you,\" he said as he jumped in the car.\n\nThere it was. This slim piece of gold that I have known all my life.\n\nThis part of mum, here in this car 7,000km (4,350 miles) from home in the freezing mountains of Kyrgyzstan.\n\nElaman described to Azamat where he found it. I didn't understand anything except a word that sounded like \"toilet\".\n\nAzamat translated - it was in our first campsite, a yurt camp, lying on a path towards the toilets (or, more accurately, a shed with a hole in the ground).\n\nWe laughed. Not the most romantic of places.\n\nI felt its weight and its shape. Mum held this. Putting it back on I felt complete again, and I couldn't stop looking at it.\n\nI gave Elaman a designer flask and wrapped some money around it as a reward for handing in the bracelet.\n\nThere was another day in the snow on horseback before I turned round and made the long 21-hour journey back home.\n\nWe took the horses up the Bos Uchuk valley, which means \"colourful point\". This was where we had camped on our last day of the summer trek. I could recognise the shape of the mountains and the river.\n\nOn my way back to the town I sprinkled some of mum's ashes in the river - something to exchange for the bracelet in the ground, something to put her between home and where she was born, Hong Kong.\n\nAt this point I felt that these rituals were almost too much.\n\nYet back home, looking at photographs of mum, I notice the bracelet in every picture. I think how strange it is to know that it had a story waiting of being lost and found far away in a wonderful place.\n\nIs this still the most precious thing that I own? Yes. Would I take it again on an adventure? Probably.\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nChelsea striker Diego Costa has said he wanted to leave the club in the summer.\n\nCosta joined the Blues for £32m in 2014, and was understood to be close to a return to former club Atletico Madrid after a difficult 2015-16 campaign.\n\nThe Spain international has since scored 14 Premier League goals, as Chelsea have taken a six-point lead courtesy of 13 successive victories.\n\n\"Did I want to go?

Politicos deal in shock resignations or revelations. For us in the arts unit, it is award ceremonies - and celebrity deaths.\n\nAn instant obit of a once great, but now late, talent is what programme editors demand from us.\n\nAnd you can be as Boy Scoutish as you like in your preparations, but the artistic life - and death - isn't about pleasing the establishment: creative souls do things their own way.\n\nSo, I was not entirely awake on Monday 11 January 2016 when my phone rang around 6.55am. It was a producer at the Today programme.\n\nHad I heard the news, he asked? M…maybe - I hedged. What news? David Bowie is dead, he said.\n\nOh no! Oh no for lots of reasons. Firstly, it was awful news. I loved David Bowie; couldn't imagine him dead. He was still making great records. He wasn't particularly old, and now - well - he was no longer here.\n\nAnd then, oh no - I had to make sense of his incredible life, without much time to pause for thought. Six minutes later, I was on-air talking to Today's Nick Robinson.\n\nI got home late from work that night, put Heroes on and thought… sad day, but thankfully rare - a once-a-year occasion at worst.\n\nBut three days later came another call from another producer.

I had interviewed the Bagdad-born British architect just a few weeks before, when she appeared as hale and hearty and feisty as ever.\n\nShe was frustrated with her adopted country, rightly so. Her fellow Brits had been sniffy and slow in recognising her brilliance - and now she was gone, still in her prime, before amends could be made.\n\n2016 was beginning to feel like a weird year. A sense compounded three weeks later with the announcement of Victoria Wood's death.\n\nThat was a blow, too. We adored her. She was great. Always funny, jokes on the money; and never mean. We need such towering talents in our lives, not scythed down by the Grim Reaper.

Now, come on! Don't be silly. Don't be true. Don't be dead.\n\nAt this point, articles started to appear asking if arts deaths were at an all-time high. Columnists wrote think pieces explaining to us that it was all to do with our obsession with celebrity in a post-Warholian media age.\n\nMeanwhile, the man in charge of obituaries at the BBC noted his services had been called upon far more frequently in the first third of 2016 than in the same months of the past five years.\n\nIt had been an extraordinary period.

He knew better:\n\nYou Want it Darker by Leonard Cohen (2016)\n\nAnd so we went into the festive season. Surely Death was done?\n\nSadly not. In fact, he indulged in a Christmas rush with many unpleasant surprises to unpack.\n\nThe news about Status Quo's Rick Parfitt broke on Christmas Eve. George Michael was found dead on Christmas Day. And then, the following day Richard Adams passed away. So did Carrie Fisher, and her mother - Debbie Reynolds - 24 hours later.\n\nI think it is fair to say 2016 was a most unusual year.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

But persistence is the key. Start again the next day.\"\n\nSupport from friends and family can help people stick to their goals.\n\nBut Prof Wiseman says women might be more likely to benefit. \"They are generally better at offering moral support. Men tend to try and encourage you to have more dessert.\"\n\nNoting down progress can help\n\nThis can be something public like a blog - or the fridge door - or more privately, in a spreadsheet or a journal.\n\nIt might help to note down each gym visit, or decision not to have cake.\n\nProf Wiseman also advises having a checklist to show how life will be better once your goals are achieved - and allow small rewards throughout the process to keep up motivation levels.\n\nIt has to be something specific that can be realistically achieved.\n\nRunning a marathon, say, would be too much for a non-runner to aim for, while a vague desire to 'get fit' is hard to measure.\n\n\"Maybe start by saying you'll go to the gym once a week, then you can look at moving up to two,\" advises Prof Wiseman.\n\nAnd be realistic - it's best to choose one thing to focus on rather than having a raft of goals to increase the chances of success.\n\nThis is important in terms of knowing what prompts behaviour you want to avoid - and to help encourage healthier habits.\n\n\"It could be as simple as not having biscuits in the house so you're not tempted - or understanding the stress triggers that make you reach for a cigarette,\" Prof Wiseman says.\n\nAnd he says it's possible to create new triggers to prompt you in your new, healthier habits.\n\n\"You can decide that when the news starts, that's the time when you set off for the gym\".", "Australia has resettled about half of the 12,000 refugees it agreed to take in over the past 13 months from the conflict in Syria, but how are they adapting to life in their new country?\n\nIt is a year since Iymen Baerli, a refugee from Syria, arrived in Sydney with his wife and three young children.\n\nWithin days, the skies above the harbour of Australia's biggest city sparkled and glowed as arguably the world's finest fireworks display ushered in another new year.\n\nThe newcomers shared their adopted homeland's optimism about the journey ahead. Iymen, a 52-year old former pharmaceutical sales rep, had ambitions to open up a catering business, helped by his brother, who ran a well-established cake shop in suburban Sydney.\n\nBut 12 months later much of that hope has withered and the Baerli family are living at their modest apartment in Guildford, a multicultural district 25km (15 miles) from Sydney Opera House.\n\nWar had forced them out of their home in Homs, Syria's third largest city, and they sought safety in Egypt. Resettlement down under would eventually follow.\n\n\"It was very hard moving from Syria to Australia. There are huge differences in the culture and tradition,\" he told me through a translator. \"I have been struggling and it is not easy but I am hoping that in the future it is going to be easier for me.\"\n\nIymen's English is rudimentary and, although he is receiving tuition, his lack of language skills has been a major hindrance, as has a chronic back injury.\n\nMost of the new arrivals have been staying with relatives in Sydney, but community workers believe that, for many, the transition has been hard.\n\nAhmad Hemmed, a migration agent, who has helped many Syrian families in Sydney, told the BBC that the majority of the refugees have been unable to adapt.\n\n\"There are people that after I meet them here after even a year, they do not like the country and they are scared to mix with the Australian community,\" Mr Hemmed explained.\n\n\"They are still isolating themselves with similar cultural background people and I think they are raising their kids in the same way, which for me it is really concerning. They live in Australia but they are not actually carrying Australian values.\"\n\nThe city of Homs, dubbed \"the capital of the revolution\" suffered widespread destruction\n\nIt is a harsh assessment, but officials have conceded that many of those fleeing the Syrian conflict have found life tough in Australia and that finding jobs in particular has not been easy.\n\n\"It is that extraordinary mixed feeling,\" said Prof Peter Shergold, the New South Wales co-ordinator general for refugee resettlement.\n\n\"At one level I think their first feeling as they get out of the airport is just sheer relief, expectations that they can build a new life, but of course absolute fear of what they have left behind, is this the right decision?\"\n\nHe believes it is crucial the migrants mix with the broader community.\n\n\"They are coming to a society in which 27% of Australians were born overseas and a similar number had a parent born overseas.\n\n\"They are coming to a society which is used to diversity and that helps integrate into society and, yes, initially you'll tend to live in areas where other people from your ethnicity or religion live, [but] they need to get outside that if they are going to get employment,\" Prof Shergold added.\n\nThe remaining 6,000 refugees from the Syrian crisis are expected to arrive in Australia within a year.\n\nImmigration minister Peter Dutton has said the refugee resettlement programme might expand\n\nBut Alex Greenwich, an independent MP in the New South Wales state parliament, believes the humanitarian programme needs to move faster.\n\n\"The refugee and asylum seeker immigration process is intensely bureaucratic,\" he said.\n\n\"It is much better for a refugee to spend less time in a camp and get into being welcomed into a community.

The environment is hot, sticky, typically not a favourable environment.\"\n\n\"Do we really need to work 70 hours a week? Are women allowed to have babies when they're [working] in the kitchen? It's so intense - it's not like a desk job. There are things that need to be improved.\"\n\nThere isn't always \"the freedom to dream\" in Hong Kong's competitive education system, she adds.\n\nIn the past, vocational jobs were seen as jobs for people who couldn't be doctors or lawyers, so there was \"no recognition\" for jobs in the food and beverage industry.\n\nStill, she argues that the internet, Michelin guides and growing awareness about fine dining has helped, while local chefs are increasingly learning from restaurants abroad.\n\nOn a more personal level, she credits her mother with part of her determination to do well in a male-centric field.\n\n\"Stereotypical Shanghai women are fierce and loud,\" she says with a grin.\n\nHer mother's influence, she adds, \"let me be bold.

But it's still not entirely clear what it actually means. If you're feeling lost, help is at hand: here's our handy guide to the A-Z of Brexit.\n\nKnown as the \"exit clause\", Article 50 sets out the process the UK will go through to leave the European Union.\n\nIt sets the clock ticking on negotiations, giving a deadline of two years before the UK's membership of the EU ends - unless all EU member states' leaders vote unanimously to extend that period.\n\nIt says that any deal negotiated between the UK and EU will come down to a vote of European leaders, where it will need to be passed by a qualified majority and passed by the European Parliament.\n\nPreviously tasked with cleaning up the continent's financial services, Michel Barnier is the European Commission's chief Brexit negotiator.\n\nHe's a politician with a long career as an MEP, vice-president of the centre-right European People's Party, French foreign minister, and European commissioner.\n\nMr Barnier is also known for not being keen on giving interviews in English. At the height of the eurozone crisis he implied this policy was led by caution, saying: \"One wrong word, and we could move markets.\"\n\nThe European Council is made up of the 28 EU heads of government, plus the European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.\n\nThe council doesn't make laws, but the heads of EU governments can vote on the union's political direction through a process that weights their votes according to the size of the country they represent.\n\nAlthough Prime Minister Theresa May represents the UK on the council, she won't attend any meetings or votes it holds on the subject of Brexit negotiations after Article 50 is triggered.\n\nMore properly known as the Department for Exiting the European Union, DexEU is the government department responsible for the UK's negotiations with the EU.\n\nIt is led by David Davis. The department will conduct negotiations on Brexit with the EU, as well as talking to individual states about bilateral agreements after the UK leaves the EU.\n\nAcademic Sara Hagemann, who is Danish, said she had been told she could no longer advise the government on Brexit.\n\nLeave campaigner Michael Gove made waves during the EU referendum campaign when he claimed Britain had \"had enough of experts.\"\n\nMore recently, academics at the London School of Economics said that Foreign Office officials had told them non-UK nationals would no longer be able to brief the department on issues relating to Brexit.\n\nThe FCO insisted that it was a misunderstanding, saying \"We will continue to take advice from the best and brightest minds, regardless of nationality.\"\n\nTrading with other countries without customs duties, import bans or quotas is the goal of International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, who has previously said that free trade \"transformed the world for the better\".\n\nEU membership means the UK isn't allowed to make its own deals with other countries - deals like the Ceta free trade agreement signed between Canada and the EU after seven years of negotiations.\n\nBut opponents of free trade deals like Ceta and the proposed TTIP deal between the EU and US have claimed that the deals harm workers' rights and damage environmental safeguards.\n\nGreenland provided the closest thing Brexit has to a precedent when it left the European Economic Community - a precursor to the EU - in 1982.\n\nGreenlandic objections to its membership to the EEC, as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, centred on the Common Fisheries Policy which allowed European trawlers to fish in its waters.\n\nSince then, Greenland's fishermen have fared better than its fur industry, which since 2010 has been barred from selling any seal products within the EU.\n\nThe style of Brexit favoured by campaigners like Nigel Farage, \"hard Brexit\" would entail the UK leaving the European single market.\n\nIt would allow the British government more direct control over policies on immigration, but may mean tariffs on exports to the EU.\n\nIt's often presented as the opposite of \"soft Brexit\", which sees the UK remain in the EU single market - potentially having to accept EU rules like freedom of movement as a part of the deal.\n\nNigel Farage said 23 June should go down in history as the UK's \"independence day\" in commemoration of the vote to leave the EU.\n\nBut a petition calling for a national holiday on 23 June received a negative response from the government, which said it had \"no current plans to create another public holiday\" because of the economic cost of days off.\n\nFormer Prime Minister of Luxembourg and President of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker will be a key figure during the Article 50 negotiations with the EU.\n\nBefore the vote to leave, Mr Juncker warned the UK that \"out is out\", and that there would be no way back.\n\nThe European Commission is the EU body that will carry out much of the negotiating between the EU and UK, before a final deal is approved by the European Council's 27 non-UK EU leaders.\n\nIt's reported the Russian government of Vladimir Putin may stand to gain from Brexit, as the UK's decision to leave the EU could distract from its sanctions against Russia.\n\nFormer Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev said the UK had supported a harder line on EU-Russian relations.\n\nMr Plevneliev said: \"If Brexit is going to be a divorce, we should stay the best possible and the closest friends.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Lord Kerr says Article 50 was drawn up in the event of a coup\n\nRatified in 2009, the Lisbon Treaty aimed to streamline the EU's decision making process following a period of expansion that saw membership grow.\n\nIt created the post of President of the European Council (currently held by Poland's Donald Tusk) and expanded the use of the proportional qualified majority voting system that awarded votes according to the size of a member state.\n\nThe Lisbon Treaty also contains Article 50 - drafted by Scottish peer Lord Kerr - the mechanism that dictates the way in which a member state can leave the EU.\n\nThe leader of the EU's largest member state, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has said \"Brexit negotiations won't be easy\" but that there's no need for the EU to be \"nasty\" to the UK during negotiations.\n\nGerman leader since 2005, Ms Merkel will face a re-election battle in 2017.

See entry below, for T.\n\nThe Commons Library says the position of UK citizens in the EU - and vice versa - after Brexit remains uncertain.\n\nIt does, however, suggest that people already using their freedom of movement to live in other EU countries are unlikely to be affected, as it would be difficult - practically and politically - to change their residency rights retrospectively.\n\nThe UK could give up its membership of the European Union, but still have access to the single market.\n\nThis would make trading with other European countries easier, as there would be less change after Brexit.\n\nThe price would most likely be some kind of free movement agreement - meaning that EU citizens could still move to the UK to live and work, even after Brexit.\n\nThe incoming American president is a fan of Brexit, even saying in the days before his election victory over Hillary Clinton that a win for him would be \"like Brexit plus-plus-plus.\"\n\nHe has befriended leading Brexiteer Nigel Farage - who was the first foreign politician to meet the president-elect after his win over Hillary Clinton.\n\nSome in the UK, including Mr Farage, hope a Trump administration will move the UK to the front of the queue for trade deals with the US, heralding a new economic special relationship.\n\nThe UK's nations and regions weren't united in voting leave - Scotland, Northern Ireland and London voted to remain in the EU.\n\nScottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has suggested she will hold a second independence referendum if the UK goes for a hard Brexit.\n\nIn Northern Ireland there are mixed responses. Some fear the return of border controls - the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny is planning an a summit on the issue. Meanwhile, the border town of Newry has seen an influx of shoppers from the Republic, keen to take advantage of the euro's increased spending power.\n\nFormer Belgian Prime Minister and the European Parliament's lead Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, has suggested he is unwilling to negotiate on the free movement of people, saying: \"European values will never be up for negotiation.\"\n\nHe has already held a preliminary meeting with David Davis (See entry for D, above) which the two said afterwards \"a good start\". And he has since warned that the European Parliament would negotiate directly with the British if EU leaders \"don't take the parliament's role seriously\".\n\nHome Secretary Amber Rudd sparked controversy with an announcement that firms would have to publish the percentage of overseas workers they hired - although the government later rowed back on the idea.\n\nThere is also uncertainty over what could happen to UK employment rights, as some things like agency workers' rights and limitations on working time are guaranteed by EU law.\n\nPolice figures showed a rise in religious or racially motivated hate crimes in the weeks following the EU referendum.\n\nIn response, the government launched a new hate crime action plan to combat the increase.\n\nOr more specifically, the yeast-based spread Marmite.\n\nThe falling value of the pound after the UK voted to leave the EU led to a row between Tesco and the manufacturer, Anglo-Dutch corporation Unilever, which wanted to raise the price of Marmite and other products.\n\nThe companies resolved their differences, which came after Unilever said the weak pound made selling its wares in the UK less profitable.\n\nThe capital of Croatia, the EU's newest member state.\n\nThe Croatian Foreign Minister Miro Kovac expressed his concerns about the effect Brexit could have on the EU's growth plans, saying: \"We also want stability in southeastern Europe and we will work so that Brexit does not have too much effect on the enlargement process.\"\n\nCroatia's fellow Balkan states Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are all currently in the process of joining the EU.", "Last updated on .From the section Football\n\nTen-man Manchester City moved up to third as they withstood a spirited Burnley fightback in front of a relieved Etihad Stadium.\n\nFernandinho was dismissed towards the end of an even first half for a two-footed challenge on Johan Gudmundsson.\n\nBut the hosts improved after the break as Gael Clichy squeezed home a shot before Sergio Aguero, on as a substitute, fired home from a tight angle.\n\nBen Mee smashed home via the underside of the bar shortly after but Burnley could not force a leveller despite a fine chance for Andre Gray late on.\n\nBeginning the day 10 points behind leaders Chelsea, anything less than victory would have prompted some to begin reading the last rites on City's title challenge.\n\nAs it is, Pep Guardiola's side will look at the league table with renewed optimism as they closed to within two points of second-place Liverpool with one and possibly both of Chelsea and Tottenham to drop points when they face each other on Wednesday.\n\nHowever, Fernandinho's dismissal meant they had to fight harder than they might have expected for victory.\n\nThe City captain took some of the ball as he contested a 50:50 ball in midfield, but his reckless scissor-action style meant that referee Lee Mason's decision to show red could be easily justified.\n\nIt is not the first time City's discipline has hindered their title ambitions. Including Sergio Aguero's retrospective red against West Ham, they have been shown seven red cards in Guardiola's 30 games in charge.\n\nFernandinho's third red card in six games for City means he will be banned for four matches and not available again until 5 February.\n\nShould Fernandinho have been sent off? MOTD analysis\n\nFormer Republic of Ireland midfielder Kevin Kilbane: \"There's no doubt it is a red for Fernandinho. It is quite clear. He's reckless and out of control. Referee Lee Mason is in a good position. It is a bad one. You see those sort of challenges and you hope for the best for the opposing player.\"\n\nEx-Arsenal defender Martin Keown: \"It is a 100% red card all day long. His third in six games. It is indefensible, you don't want to see that in the game.\"\n\nAguero off the bench and to the rescue\n\nWell before Fenandinho's lunging challenge, Guardiola's team selection seemed to have hampered rather than helped City's cause.\n\nAguero, who was spared the rigours of the festive fixture list after only making his comeback from a four-match ban in the New Year's Eve defeat by Liverpool, was left on the bench with Kelechi Iheanacho preferred up front.\n\nIheanacho missed the best of what little City created in the first half and Aguero brought a more threatening edge to the hosts' attack when he was introduced alongside David Silva at half-time.\n\nThe Argentine's dead-eyed finish from a tight angle, past two covering defenders, provided the winner and convincing evidence for an immediate recall.\n\nBurnley come close on return to Manchester\n\nBurnley have only won a single point away from Turf Moor this season, but they can count themselves unlucky not to follow their October draw at Old Trafford with similar on their return to Manchester.\n\nWhile they confounded United with a stubborn rearguard action, Sean Dyche's side went toe-to-toe with City even before Fernandinho's red card gave them an extra man.\n\nMee's goal, awarded with help by the decision review system, exposed goalkeeper Claudio Bravo's uncertainty in the air, but Burnley created enough to take a point without City's errors.\n\nThe precision that Gray showed in scoring his hat-trick against Middlesbrough last time out deserted him in injury-time while Sam Vokes glanced just wide when well placed.\n\nThe Clarets remain 11th, eight points above the drop and well above par for the season so far.\n• None Fernandinho is the first City player to see two reds in a Premier League season since Mario Balotelli in 2011-12.\n• None Raheem Sterling has been directly involved in nine Premier League goals for City this season (5 goals, 4 assists), compared to eight in his first season at the club.\n• None Gael Clichy scored just his third Premier League goal in 311 games (two for City, one for Arsenal). His last goal came in November 2014 v Southampton.\n• None City have only kept a clean sheet in two of their 10 Premier League games at the Etihad this season.\n• None Burnley's goal was only the third they have managed away from home this season.\n• None The Clarets have still taken just one point from their away games this season, with 22 of their total of 23 coming at Turf Moor (drawing one and losing eight away).\n\n\"I'm so happy, believe me\" - manager quotes\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola gave a series of short answers to BBC Sport's Damian Johnson after the match, a selection of which appears below:\n\nDamian Johnson: \"What was your view of the red card for Fernandinho?\"\n\nPep Guardiola: \"You are the journalist. Not me.\"\n\nDJ: \"You're the manager. I'm sure the fans would like to know.\n\nPG: \"Ask the referee - not me.\"\n\nDJ: \"You don't seem that happy that you've won.\"\n\nPG: \"More than you would believe. More than you would believe I am happy.\"\n\nPG: \"I'm so happy believe me. I'm so happy. Happy new year.\"\n\nDJ: \"Are Manchester City in the title race?\"\n\nPG: \"Yesterday no. Why today are we in the title race?\"\n\nBurnley manager Sean Dyche: \"We gave away two poor goals, but the two players that they brought on at half-time are not bad players. I thought that they had an effect.\n\n\"It is a missed opportunity. We lost our way a bit when they went down to 10 men. They came out really hard and fast after half-time. We made a game of it after that. There was no lack of effort, but we could not find a way through.\n\nOn Fernandinho's red card: \"It was a red by modern standards. In years gone by, maybe not, but today I think it is.\"\n\nManchester City travel to West Ham in the third round of the FA Cup on Friday with Burnley taking on Sunderland the next day in the same competition.\n• None David Silva (Manchester City) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.\n• None Andre Gray (Burnley) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.\n• None Attempt saved. Michael Keane (Burnley) left footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal. Assisted by Stephen Ward with a cross.\n• None Attempt missed. Andre Gray (Burnley) right footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the right.\n• None Attempt missed. Sergio Agüero (Manchester City) right footed shot from outside the box is too high. Assisted by Raheem Sterling.\n• None Delay over. They are ready to continue.
