Indeed, given Everton's superiority, they were fortunate the scoreline did not have an even more embarrassing appearance.\n\nPaul Pogba strolled around midfield while Gueye, Morgan Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson snapped into challenges, and it was a nightmare return to Everton for striker Romelu Lukaku.\n\nTaunted throughout, he could not do a thing right and his afternoon simply went from bad to worse.\n\nHe was not alone. De Gea may have saved well from Richarlison early on but he was slow to react to Sigurdsson's shot and it was his punch that fell at Digne's feet to score. The Spain keeper is having a mixed season.\n\nIt was five years ago to the day since a 2-0 loss here ended David Moyes' reign - and this United performance was even worse than that.\n\nSolksjaer has inherited a mess, the early gloss from his arrival has worn off and players like Pogba and Lukaku, who were revived after Jose Mourinho was sacked, look back to their bad old ways.\n\nNow there is the small matter of the derby against title-chasing Manchester City at Old Trafford on Wednesday.\n\n'I want to apologise' - what they said\n\nEverton boss Marco Silva, speaking to Sky Sports: \"I'm delighted with the players. It's important to remind you what we did in the last four home games - we're on a fantastic run.\n\n\"Our last performance away was not good enough and we must show something different. We did. We were the best team on the pitch from the first to last minute.\n\n\"When we won against Chelsea we were 26 games without a win against the top six. After we won I said we will change that, and now we are playing with quality at home.\n\n\"It's important to see our fans enjoying what we are doing - everything what I want as a manager. We are doing really well. Last seven games, five clean sheets.\"\n\nMan Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, speaking to BBC Sport: \"We were beaten on all aspects today. The only place we beat Everton - I can't say we beat them - but we had a fantastic support and I just want to apologise for the performance we turned out.\n\n\"We have been fantastic for long periods and it's a tough league to get into the top four, never mind winning the league. There are six teams there and Everton want to be in there.\n\n\"We know it's a big task and work to be done. We have to do it together; we have to get on with it because this is not good enough.\n\n\"You have got to start somewhere and we will give it everything we have got with the last four games - massive games with City and Chelsea coming to Old Trafford. That's where we get the best support in the world.\n\n\"We can turn it around. In football, like in life, things can change quickly. We have got to change it from bad to good.\n\n\"We need a game of football as soon as we can as we need to get this out of the systems.\n\n\"Everyone here can say with hands on hearts that's not good enough - not worthy of a Manchester United team.

Navigate to the next page Navigate to the last page", "Cross-party talks are continuing in Whitehall, amid parliamentary deadlock over Theresa May's Brexit deal. So what are the sticking points and can Labour and the Conservatives reach an agreement?\n\nPublic statements on the talks have tended to be bland, ranging from \"constructive\" and \"serious\" to the slightly more negative: \"We have some way to travel.\"\n\nBehind the scenes, the prospect of a deal, while difficult, is not impossible.\n\nThere is a big incentive for both sides to reach agreement: the avoidance of next month's European elections.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May doesn't want to give a platform to parties such as Nigel Farage's new project which could appeal to Brexit-voting Conservatives.\n\nAnd, frankly, some of her own activists would be conflicted over how, or whether, to vote.\n\nFor Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, awkward questions about a second referendum could be ducked if there is no election campaign.\n\nSo the talks are serious and not just political window dressing, and the fact that Mr Corbyn and Mrs May met on Thursday is significant.\n\nMichael Gove is one of the Conservatives taking part in negotiations\n\nThe Labour leader's policy guru Andrew Fisher joined shadow chancellor John McDonnell for the cross-party talks on Friday.\n\nBut, as I understand it, significant hurdles remain. Some of the detail of possible changes to the Political Declaration - the blueprint for the UK's post-Brexit relationship with the EU - is being discussed.\n\nLabour wants to discuss legally binding changes to the document, future-proofing it, where possible, against a change of Conservative leader.\n\nBroadly speaking, the government would rather do \"the easy bit\" first - discussing legislation to protect workers' rights.\n\nResolving this tension is key to a deal.\n\nLabour is also keen to secure agreement on a customs union. It is flexible on what it would be called - an \"arrangement\", for example - and Mrs May hinted on Thursday that the two sides were close on this.\n\nBut they are not yet close enough.\n\nThe definition of what a customs union/arrangement does is vital to the Labour side.\n\nBut the main constraints to a deal may come from Mrs May and Mr Corbyn's parties, rather than their negotiators.\n\nMany Labour members want another referendum if agreement is reached\n\nIf there is too much compromise on a customs union, Mrs May risks losing more cabinet ministers.\n\nFor Mr Corbyn, the pressure from many Labour members is for him to exact a referendum, in return for passing the deal.\n\nSo far, the prime minister isn't budging on this.\n\nOne way round this obstacle would be to hold a separate vote in Parliament on a referendum, possibly as an amendment to the forthcoming Withdrawal Agreement Bill.\n\nBoth Mrs May and Mr Corbyn - who is not an enthusiast for a public vote - believe this would fall.\n\nBut some of the Labour leader's shadow ministers - including some who are firmly on the Left - are pushing for a referendum, or confirmatory ballot, to be tied explicitly to any Brexit deal.\n\nSo, getting a deal passed would be totally dependent on approving a public vote at the same time.\n\nI am told shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is pressing for a ballot to be part of any final package.\n\nIf, in the end, these difficulties can't be overcome then the hope is that both sides will at least agree a parliamentary process for discussing and voting on options which might finally break the deadlock.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

I'm ecstatic for the team,\" said Britain captain Anne Keothavong, whose team paraded around the Copper Box Arena, firing tennis balls into the crowd.\n\n\"It was such an incredible effort. We kept putting ourselves in this position. But I really feel that having the home advantage this time around made a big difference.\"\n• None Alerts: Get tennis news sent to your phone\n\nAfter watching Konta come from 4-1 down in the deciding set to beat Kazakh number one Putintseva, Boulter knew victory in her match would seal the tie for Britain.\n\nBoulter admitted she was \"struggling physically\" during her defeat by Putintseva on Saturday and although she swiftly took a 2-0 lead in the opening set, she repeatedly sat with a hot water bottle on her back during changeovers.\n\nDiyas - who Konta needed two hours and 38 minutes to beat on Saturday - started to find her groove and responded to take the set to a tie-break.\n\nBoulter said Saturday's dramatic defeat - which came despite her holding three match points - would stay in her mind \"for a long time\" and she seemed nervous - only picking up one point as Diyas comfortably won the tie-break 7-1.\n\nThe Kazakh gained the advantage in the second set too but was seemingly distracted by a car alarm seconds before double-faulting and allowing Boulter to break back at 2-2.\n\nThe addition of a few drums in the British crowd - to compete with the noisy Kazakh band that had been providing a soundtrack to the action - built a more intimidating atmosphere and Boulter thrived off their support, breaking again late to win the set.\n\nDiyas and Boulter had already suffered three-set defeats this weekend but the Briton was determined not to lose another.\n\nThe 22-year-old British number two was quickly 2-0 up before she held off a break point in the third game of the third set - prompting a standing ovation from the home fans.\n\nA lucky net cord helped bring up break point for Boulter at 3-0 up but Diyas saved it with a thumping serve.\n\nThat only delayed Boulter's move to increase her advantage as she turned up the gears to make it 5-1.\n\nKonta, fresh from her victory, joined Heather Watson, Katie Swan and Harriet Dart on court ready to celebrate.\n\nAnd Boulter, on her third match point, threw her arms up in celebration as the crowd erupted in joy.\n\n\"I was so nervous watching Katie on the side of the court,\" said Konta. \"I'm sweating so much. We have been in this position for the last three years in a row.\n\n\"I am almost speechless which is not normal. I'm still sweating!\"\n\nKonta has not done things the easy way in the Fed Cup of late - her past five matches in the women's team tennis competition have gone to three sets.\n\nAnd so she was always going to be in for a battle against Kazakh number one Putintseva, who fought back from 5-2 down in the third set to win the tie-break against Boulter on Saturday.\n\nWorld number 38 Putintseva - ranked eight places above Konta - showed no signs of tiredness against the Briton, holding off three break points in her first service game before needing just one to take a 2-1 lead.\n\nKonta, who had started with intensity and good variation, broke back immediately and seemed to feed off a much more vocal home crowd.\n\nWhen Putintseva broke again to move 5-4 up before serving for the first set, Konta responded by silencing the noisy Kazakh band's drums and trumpet for most of the second set - breaking twice and winning 68% of the total points in a dominant display.\n\nMomentum was with the Briton but the crowd were still wary - they had seen Putintseva come from behind the previous day.\n\nThe Kazakh was given a taste of her own medicine, though, as it was Konta who completed a resilient fightback.\n\nPutintseva had shown signs of weakness. She had her blood pressure taken during a medical time-out, while ice was applied to her neck and head while she trailed 3-0 in the second set.\n\nKonta went on to take that set in style but then went 4-1 down in the third - two quick breaks followed a time violation and the Briton showed her frustrations by arguing with the umpire.\n\nShe did not give up, though, finally breaking back at the third time of asking at 4-2 and went on to win 16 of the last 19 points to seal her 11th successive Fed Cup singles victory.", "The fine weather brought queues of people to the summit of Snowdon\n\nThree of the UK's nations have recorded their highest ever Easter Sunday temperatures, the Met Office has said.\n\nScotland's peak was 23.4C (74F), in Edinburgh, while that same temperature was also the high point in Wales - coming in Cardiff.\n\nNorthern Ireland beat a 95-year-old record when the mercury hit 21C at Helen's Bay near Bangor.\n\nEngland's highest temperature was 24.6C at Heathrow airport - just shy of the record of 25.3C.\n\nThe good weather has brought people in droves to beaches, parks and other outdoor attractions, while people queued to reach the top of Snowdon and Pen y Fan.\n\nIn Glasgow, hundreds of bikers - many in costume - gathered for the 40th annual charity Easter Egg Run.\n\nThe previous record in Northern Ireland was set on 20 April 1924 in Armagh, when the temperature reached 19.4C.\n\nWales has had its hottest Easter since 22 April 1984, when it was 21.6C in Brynamman in the Brecon Beacons.\n\nBut Scotland's record had only stood since 5 April 2015, when 20.7C was recorded at Aboyne in Aberdeenshire.\n\nSunbathers headed for Swansea Bay as Wales basked in record Easter Sunday temperatures\n\nMore than 800 bikers rode through Glasgow to deliver treats to the Royal Hospital for Children\n\nThe Easter Sunday record in England - and the UK-wide record - is 25.3C (78F), which was set in Solent, Hampshire, in 2011.\n\nBut on Holy Saturday in 1949, temperatures reached 29.4C (85F) in Camden Square, London.\n\nMonday is set to be another hot day, but after that temperatures are likely to fall back to the seasonal average.\n\nThe Met Office said that while the UK has been enjoying plenty of sunshine, holiday destinations such as Spain are seeing showers, heavy downpours and cooler temperatures of 17C (63F).", "A hospital volunteer who recently celebrated her 90th birthday has clocked up 23 years of service.\n\nWendy Russell has become a familiar face at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, where she greets and directs visitors and patients at the reception desk twice a week.\n\nBorn in the city, Mrs Russell was a teacher in special education until she retired at the age of 60.\n\nShe \"got bored\" and taught in Thailand for two years, before coming back to England and getting \"bored again\", so she enquired about jobs at the hospital.\n\nOf her volunteering, Mrs Russell said: \"It's very, very rewarding.

Mr Poroshenko, 53, was unfazed and agreed.\n\nSo, in a first for Ukraine, the rival candidates had themselves photographed giving blood samples.\n\nThe rivals had their blood tested for drugs and alcohol on 5 April\n\nBut they could not agree when to have the debate. So Mr Poroshenko stole the limelight by turning up at the stadium on 14 April and empty-chairing his rival.\n\nMr Zelensky goes into the 21 April runoff vote with a commanding lead: he got 30.2% on 31 March, almost double Mr Poroshenko's score of 15.9%.\n\nSo who are they and what do they stand for?\n\nMr Zelensky has reached out to media-savvy younger Ukrainians, tapping into their rejection of corruption and powerful vested interests.\n\nHis success so far suggests a huge appetite for political change in a country plagued by corruption scandals and widespread poverty.\n\n\"You called me for a debate, dreaming that I would run away, duck out, hide. No. I'm not you in 2014,\" he said in a video, mocking Mr Poroshenko's avoidance of a debate in the previous presidential election.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nHis popular satirical TV series is called Servant of the People, in which he stars as an ordinary teacher who accidentally gets elected president. That is now the name of his political party too.\n\nHis show is a hit on Channel 1+1, owned by billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, a leading opponent of Mr Poroshenko.\n\nBut Mr Zelensky insists that he is not a \"toy\" of the oligarch.\n\nHe has starred in dozens of films and shows since founding a drama company - Studio Kvartal 95 - in 2003. His business earned millions of dollars a year.\n\nHe hails from Kryvyi Rih, an industrial city in the south, where he studied law but opted for an acting career.\n\nHe has shunned political rallies, focusing his effort on social media.\n\nHe has 3.6m followers on Instagram - far more than Mr Poroshenko, who has 255,000. Indeed, he has more Instagram fans than the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and the UK combined.\n\nVolunteers in their 20s manage his campaign through posts on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. He has asked voters to contribute policy ideas.\n\nCritics question Mr Zelensky's fitness for office, pointing to his lack of political experience.\n\nBut he has been politically engaged. He supported the Euromaidan protests that toppled ex-president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.\n\nWhen the conflict with Russian-backed separatists erupted in the east he helped fund a volunteer battalion fighting the rebels.\n\nHe has vowed to settle that conflict through direct talks with Russia. \"I am ready to do a deal with the devil so that not one more person dies,\" he said.\n\nHe does not have very detailed policies, but pledges to \"overhaul the system\" and \"defeat\" corruption. He espouses economic liberalism.\n\nHe is reported to be considering some high-profile appointments to fight corruption, including Marta Borshch, a former US prosecutor, and Laura Kovesi, former head of Romania's anti-corruption agency.\n\nThe Poroshenko team portrays the election as a choice between their man and the Russian president\n\nMr Poroshenko's main weapon against his rival is experience. In 2014-2015 he steered Ukraine through a critical period, battling the well-armed rebels to a stalemate after suffering early setbacks.\n\nHis main slogan is \"army, language and faith\" - an appeal to Ukrainian national pride.\n\nLanguage is a sensitive issue: Mr Poroshenko has curbed the influence of Russian-language media, by censoring Russian films and books deemed to be subversive.\n\nAnd creating an Orthodox Church of Ukraine, no longer controlled by the Moscow Patriarchate, was a popular move.\n\nHe also points to Ukraine's closer ties with the EU under his leadership, including visa-free travel for short stays in the EU.\n\nMr Poroshenko (R) is an ally of Patriarch Filaret (C), head of the Kiev Patriarchate\n\nMr Poroshenko has been one of Ukraine's most high-profile tycoons and politicians since the 1990s. He was a key backer of the 2004 Orange Revolution, a pro-Western movement defying Russia.\n\nHe got rich through his Roshen confectionery business - earning him the nickname \"the chocolate king\" - and a TV channel, 5 Kanal. His net worth is reckoned to be more than $1bn (£764m).\n\nIn a riposte to Mr Zelensky, he warned against turning the big stadium debate into a \"show\". \"There's no room for jokes here,\" he said. \"Being a president and supreme commander is not a game.\"\n\nHis giant campaign posters controversially show him face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin, implying that Mr Zelensky is merely a puppet of Moscow. The slogan on them is: \"21 April. Decisive choice!\"\n\nYet the deadlocked conflict in the east has not figured very prominently in the election.\n\nWhile many praise Mr Poroshenko for resisting Russian pressure, there is much concern that corruption remains deep-rooted. A scandal over defence procurement erupted in February, overshadowing the election.\n\nMr Poroshenko has told voters his aim is to make integration with the EU and \"Euro-Atlantic\" allies irreversible, to guarantee \"the irreversibility of our independence, to restore the country's territorial integrity\".\n\nBefore becoming president he served under previous leaders as foreign minister and trade minister.\n\nHe grew up in Bendery, a southern city that now lies in Moldova, and graduated in economics before going into business.", "Floral tributes to Lyra McKee have been left at the scene of her shooting in Derry\n\nThe killing of journalist Lyra McKee has led to a \"palpable change\" in community sentiment in support of policing in Northern Ireland, a senior detective has said.\n\nMs McKee, 29, was shot while observing rioting in Londonderry's nationalist Creggan estate on Thursday.\n\nTwo men, aged 18 and 19, arrested under the Terrorism Act were released without charge on Sunday.\n\nDet Supt Jason Murphy urged people to come forward with evidence.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nSpeaking on Saturday, the detective leading the investigation said there was a sense that what had happened to Ms McKee had marked a \"real sea change\".\n\nHe also warned that he had a broader concern about a \"new breed of terrorist coming through the ranks\".\n\n\"And that is very worrying for me,\" he added.\n\nBut he said that police officers had felt a \"palpable\" change in the community sentiment towards policing.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

to counter the electoral challenge posed by Nigel Farage, the party's deputy leader has said.\n\nWriting in the Observer, Tom Watson said his party could not \"sit on the fence\" about the biggest issue to face the UK for a generation.\n\nBut ex-UKIP leader Mr Farage said a new referendum would be \"a total insult\" to five million Labour Leave voters.\n\nThe UK has been given an extension to the Brexit process until 31 October.\n\nThis means the UK is likely to hold European Parliament elections on 23 May.\n\nMr Farage launched his new Brexit Party last week and said it had a list of 70 candidates to fight the May elections.\n\nMr Watson warned that Labour would not defeat Mr Farage \"by being mealy-mouthed and sounding as if we half agree with him\".\n\n\"We won't beat him unless we can inspire the millions crying out for a different direction,\" he added.\n\nHe said a \"confirmatory\" referendum and \"final say\" on any deal was \"the very least\" voters deserved, now they knew more about what Brexit would mean.\n\nHe added: \"They deserve a Labour Party that offers clarity on this issue, as well as the radical vision for a new political economy achieved by working with our socialist allies inside the EU.\n\n\"And, above all, they deserve better than Nigel Farage's promise of a far-right Brexit that would solve nothing.\"\n\nHowever, Mr Farage accused Mr Watson of breaking promises to the British people and said he intended to \"wholeheartedly target Labour lies and dishonesty in the weeks ahead\".\n\nTalks with the Conservatives aimed at breaking the Brexit deadlock have re-opened Labour's divisions over a possible further referendum.\n\nShadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry wrote to cabinet colleagues to warn that striking a deal with the prime minister that ditched the commitment to a public vote would breach party policy.\n\nA survey earlier this year found that 70% of Labour members support another referendum, but nine of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's top team are sceptical or opposed.\n\nNigel Farage described 23 May as the \"first step\" for his party\n\nMr Farage's Brexit Party also poses a threat to the Conservative Party, according to a survey for the Mail on Sunday.\n\nThe Survation poll of 781 Conservative councillors found that 40% were planning to back the Brexit Party at the May European elections.\n\nJust over half - 52% - said they would vote for their own party. If Brexiteer Boris Johnson was prime minister this figure would rise to 65%, the survey found.\n\nSome 15% said they believed Mr Farage would be the best leader of the Conservative Party - only Mr Johnson was ahead of him, on 19%.\n\nNigel Farage relishes the opportunity to put a cat among the pigeons - and once again the two biggest parties are questioning how to deal with his unambiguous pro-Brexit message.\n\nTom Watson's case is that Labour needs to be different. He's not impressed with the idea of \"sounding as if we half agree\" with Mr Farage, urging his party to strengthen its message on another referendum and provide a natural home to those on the other side of the Brexit debate.\n\nThe problem is that some in the Labour completely disagree. They think it would an historic mistake to ignore Labour voters who backed Leave in 2016 and believe it may actually encourage those voters to side with Mr Farage.\n\nThe Conservatives are grappling with how to fight the European elections too. Today's poll in the Mail on Sunday suggests some Conservative councillors are prepared to turn their back on the party - at least temporarily - and support Mr Farage.\n\nThat will only feed into fears in the Tory leadership that these elections could be a disaster for the party - and strengthen resolve to try to stop them happening by getting a deal through Parliament.\n\nThe picture isn't the same everywhere. In Scotland, for example, the pro-referendum SNP appear to be maintaining strong support.\n\nBut Mr Farage will continue to argue that the main parties have failed to honour the referendum result. And his allies suspect that message will prove a powerful one for Brexit supporters if the European Parliament elections go ahead.\n\nAlthough Theresa May has said she still wants the UK to leave the EU as soon as possible, she is yet to get her withdrawal deal - which has been rejected three times by MPs - approved by Parliament.\n\nCross-party talks between the government and the Labour Party are continuing, to find a way through the impasse.\n\nLabour wants a new permanent customs union with the EU, which would allow tariff-free trade in goods.\n\nThe government has repeatedly ruled out remaining in the EU's customs union, arguing it would prevent the UK from setting its own trade policy.\n\nThe EU has said the UK must hold elections to the European Parliament in May or leave on 1 June without a deal.\n\nMarch 2018 - Shadow Northern Ireland secretary Owen Smith sacked for supporting second referendum on final deal\n\nSeptember - Labour agrees if a general election cannot be achieved it \"must support all options… including a public vote\"\n\n18 November - Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says a new referendum is \"an option for the future\" but \"not an option for today\"\n\n28 November - Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says Labour will \"inevitably\" back a second referendum if unable to secure general election\n\n6 February - Mr Corbyn writes a letter to Mrs May outlining five changes with no mention of a \"People's Vote\"\n\n28 February - Labour says it will back a public vote after its proposed Brexit deal is rejected\n\n14 March - Five Labour MPs quit party roles to oppose a further referendum\n\n27 March - The party backs a confirmatory public vote in Parliament's indicative votes on a way forward for Brexit", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nUkrainians are heading to the polls in a run-off election to pick the country's next president.\n\nVoters face a stark choice between tycoon Petro Poroshenko, the incumbent president, and television comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, new to politics.\n\nThe TV celebrity is favourite in the polls, having dominated the first round of voting three weeks ago when 39 candidates were on the ticket.\n\nPolling stations opened 08:00 (05:00 GMT) and will close 12 hours later.\n\nA court in the capital, Kiev, has rejected a lawsuit calling for Mr Zelensky to be barred from standing.\n\nA man had complained that the distribution of free tickets for a presidential debate by Volodymyr Zelensky's candidacy amounted to bribery.\n\nBoth candidates cast their votes in the capital Kiev.\n\nMr Poroshenko said the election was no less important than that of 2014, which followed the ousting of a pro-Russian administration.\n\nMr Poroshenko said he was proud of how the election was organised\n\n\"The name of the president to be elected is not important. Of special importance is the strategy and the path that our nation will continue to follow,\" he said.\n\nAfter voting, Mr Zelensky said: \"Today it will be the victory of Ukrainians, the victory of Ukraine, and - I hope - the victory of a fair choice.\"\n\nOn Friday the two candidates appeared at Kiev's Olympic stadium to debate for the first time.\n\nThe televised event was their first face-off after an unusual campaign where Mr Zelensky has primarily used social media to communicate with the voting public.\n\nThe winner of Sunday's vote will be elected for a five-year term as president.\n\nThe position holds significant powers over the security, defence and foreign policy of the country.\n\nIn Ukraine Mr Zelensky, 41, is best known for starring in a political satirical drama called Servant of the People.\n\nIn it he plays a teacher who accidentally becomes Ukrainian president after his rant about the nation's politics goes viral on social media.\n\nHe is now running under a political party with the same name as his show.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The comedian who could be president\n\nWith no previous political experience, his campaign has focused on his difference to others rather than on any concrete policy ideas.\n\nDespite this, he won the first round with more than 30% of the vote - almost double what Mr Poroshenko got when he finished in second place with 15.95%.\n\nThe country prepared on Saturday, during a day of silence when last-minute campaigning is prohibited\n\nThe incumbent president, who has been in power since 2014, described the result as a \"harsh lesson\".\n\nMr Poroshenko, 53, is a billionaire who made his fortune primarily through his confectionery and TV businesses.\n\nHe was elected after an uprising overthrew the country's previous, pro-Russian government.\n\nMr Poroshenko's supporters appeared to outnumber those of his rival on Friday\n\nThe stadium debate between the candidates on Friday was much-anticipated in Ukraine, after the comedian challenged the president to the unconventional event.\n\nAfter his acceptance, there was a public disagreement between the pair over when it would be held.\n\nLast week, Mr Poroshenko turned up and debated an empty podium after his opponent was absent at the date he suggested.\n\nThe choice Ukrainians are facing is whether to stick to what they've had for the last five years in Petro Poroshenko or take a leap into the unknown with the comedian candidate, Volodomyr Zelenksy.\n\nMr Zelensky is a well-known entertainer but quite what, if anything, he stands for politically has not become clear during the election campaign.\n\nHe has however demonstrated that he can act presidential - by playing the part in a TV series.\n\nUkraine is fighting a war against Russian-backed forces in its east and President Poroshenko has repeatedly stressed the need for someone with political experience.\n\nUnfortunately for him, all the surveys show that Ukrainians are fed up their politicians who are widely regarded as corrupt and in the pockets of rich oligarchs.", "The likely winner of Sunday's presidential election in Ukraine hasn't run a conventional campaign, so reporters have been looking for clues about the future in a TV drama in which he plays the leading role.\n\nThere aren't many jobs where you can put your feet up and work your way through a TV box set without feeling the slightest bit guilty. But here in Ukraine, putting in the hours in front of the screen has become one way of trying to understand what has been at times been a baffling election.\n\n\"How far through it are you?\" has become a familiar refrain, muttered between journalists on the fringe of campaign events.\n\nThe required viewing is a political satire called Servant of the People, and getting fully across it takes real commitment. The show - think The West Wing, with jokes - has just entered its third series, and there are nearly 50 episodes.\n\nWatching it is one way of trying to get to grips with the meteoric rise of Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and actor who stars as the Ukrainian president in Servant of the People. He's also a candidate to be the real president of Ukraine and has a political party - also called Servant of the People.\n\nConfused? Well the blurring of fiction and fact doesn't seem to bother Ukrainians, in fact it appears to have brought clarity. All the polls suggest that Zelensky - a 41-year-old Monty Python fan - is going to defeat the incumbent, Petro Poroshenko, and easily win Sunday's presidential election run-off.\n\nZelensky has effectively run an \"anti-campaign\". He's avoided political rallies and speeches, and instead continued performing slapstick routines with his comedy group. There's been very little in the way of policy or ideas, apart from a promise to be new and different. Serious interviews have been few and far between, and there haven't been many press conferences either.\n\nZelensky performs in Kiev in March with his comedy group, Kvartal 95\n\nSo the minutiae of the often farcical episodes of Servant of the People have been elevated, and dissected - sometimes by quite serious publications - for clues as to what might lie ahead in a Zelensky presidency.\n\nHow much, for example, should we read into the fictional president's showdown with the International Monetary Fund? Some are worried that Zelensky might turn out to be a populist and seek to go back on the IMF's strict conditions for loans.\n\nAnd then there's a sequence where Zelensky's character pulls out machine guns and shoots all of the MPs in parliament. Maybe that's an encouraging sign that he's going to be tough on political corruption?\n\nEvery time presidential candidate Zelensky has dipped his toe into conventional political campaigning it's not gone well. He's been accused of being lightweight and jokey - which of course is a danger, if you've spent your life, as he has, working as a comedian.\n\nSo while Petro Poroshenko has made stops across Ukraine and been a regular in TV studios, Zelensky has stayed away. His chosen method of communication has been social media, where he posts a steady stream of upbeat videos - a mix of him working out in the gym, joking with friends, and getting briefed by a team of advisers. \"He'll learn - and be surrounded by the best,\" is the message we're supposed to take away.\n\nZelensky's success so far is due only in part to Zelensky himself. Opinion polls here in Ukraine have for a long time been unanimous about one thing - that people really hate their politicians and political system. A recent survey showed that just 9% of people here have confidence in their government. That's a world low.\n\nPetro Poroshenko announces the start of his campaign in February\n\nSo Zelensky represents, in part, the protest vote. Two fingers being raised against the MPs and leaders who have dominated this country's recent history, and whom many see as corrupt - in the pockets of a handful of rich oligarchs.\n\nPoroshenko is finding out that being the candidate of stability and security is not a vote winner if people are fed up with a status quo of economic hardship and a seemingly endless war with Russian-backed forces in the east. It's not hard to see why the telegenic Zelensky is attractive to voters, however light he is on substance.\n\nZelensky shoots a scene on 6 March for a new episode of Servant of the People\n\nThere is another TV show that has become a must-watch during this campaign. It's an episode of the futuristic dystopian series called Black Mirror. First broadcast in the UK six years ago, it tells the story of a cartoon bear called Waldo, who stands in an election after becoming famous on a TV show for mocking politicians.\n\nZelensky has spent his career joking about politicians, so people have been tempted to draw parallels.\n\nIt's a comparison aided by the fact that he provided the Ukrainian voiceover of Paddington Bear in the recent hit films. But the voice of Paddington looks set to go one better than Black Mirror's cartoon bear. Waldo ended up coming second. In Ukraine the comedian is set to win.\n\nWith one eye on the exit, Poroshenko's supporters in parliament are not taking it well. One told me dismissively, \"He doesn't even know where Peru is.\"\n\nJoin the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.", "Carol Ann Stephens, who was abducted and murdered in April 1959\n\nPolice say they have not given up hope of solving one of Wales' most notorious murders.\n\nCardiff schoolgirl Carol Ann Stephens was abducted in April 1959, and her body found two weeks later in a remote spot in Carmarthenshire.\n\nDespite a huge manhunt and the help of the Metropolitan Police, the six-year-old's killer was never caught.\n\nBut officers say the case still remains active and they hope someone can provide answers for Carol's family.\n\nOn Tuesday 7 April, in the Cathays area of Cardiff, Carol told her mother Mavis she was going out to play and left their house in Malefant Street.\n\nHer family never saw her alive again.\n\nThe disappearance would spark one of the biggest police operations in Wales.\n\nOver the next few days, thousands of cars were stopped in Cardiff, and police watched ports to see if the abductor was taking Carol out of the country.\n\nResidents were asked to check garden sheds and farmers were told to search their outbuildings. There was even talk of draining Roath Park Lake as part of the search.\n\nThe huge search was in vain, however. Exactly two weeks after Carol disappeared - on 21 April - a surveyor working in a narrow river culvert near the village of Horeb, north of Llanelli, came across the little girl's body.\n\nShe had been suffocated and dumped in the water.\n\nDespite the interest in the case - more than 400 people waited outside Llanelli Town Hall to hear the verdict of Carol's initial inquest - police had very little to work with.\n\nShe had told her friends she had a \"new uncle\" who had been taking her for drives, and she had been seen talking to a man in a car on the day she disappeared, but apart from that, police had many questions to answer.\n\nCarol Ann Stephens was abducted from near her home in Cardiff, and her body found in Carmarthenshire\n\nHad Carol known her killer? Did the remote location of her body mean it was someone who knew the Horeb area well? Had anyone seen Carol with her abductor on the journey west?\n\nThose questions now face Det Ch Insp Mark Lewis, who works in the Major Crime Review team at South Wales Police.\n\nSixty years on from the murder, Carol's case is one of the oldest the force is dealing with.\n\nDespite that, Det Ch Insp Lewis hopes the crime can be solved, not least because it still casts a shadow over parts of south Wales.\n\nHe said: \"We may not be in a position to ever prosecute someone for this case, but the impact on the community in Cathays, the family and friends - some of whom are still alive - and the people of Horeb and Llanelli was very strong and people would still like answers.\n\n\"I can tell you there is still a dark cloud hanging over some of those communities.\n\n\"There was a lot of trust in those days, children played in the street and people left their doors open.\n\n\"For a child to be snatched off the street was a shock in Cardiff, but it was a huge shock for people living in Horeb as well. This was a sleepy little village where people just got on with their lives quite peacefully.\n\n\"For a six-year-old child to be taken, murdered and then dumped in the middle of nowhere, that leaves a lasting legacy so it would be fantastic if we could provide answers for those communities.\"\n\nIn 1959, police trying to catch Carol's killer did not have much to go on.\n\nToday, Det Ch Insp Lewis and his colleagues face the same challenges - plus the fact many people crucial to the investigation are no longer alive.\n\n\"The passage of time is a huge obstacle. Where there are witnesses still alive, recollection of events proves to be difficult,\" he said.\n\n\"At that time for crime scene investigators, DNA and, to a certain extent, blood evidence wasn't really something that was being dealt with.\n\n\"If that crime scene had been worked today, things would have been different. Recovery of the original case files and exhibits has proved difficult as well.\n\n\"But we've had successes with historic cases in the past, as have other forces, so we don't give up hope.\"\n\nThe village of Horeb in Carmarthenshire today\n\nHoreb is a small hamlet these days. Back in 1959 it was tiny. Susan Bayliss was 10 at the time of the murder.\n\nHer family ran the Waun Wyllt Inn, not far from where Carol's body was found. As the only place in the village with a phone, it became the hub for not just the police but journalists as well.\n\n\"When we lived there Horeb was only four or five houses - that was the village. The pub was a typical country pub with one bar, a darts room and a back room,\" she said.\n\n\"My main memory of the time of the murder is of the police and journalists from papers like the News of the World being in the pub for about a fortnight. I can remember my mother making sandwiches and cups of tea all day long.\n\n\"The murder was the only story there for years afterwards, and still is I imagine.\"\n\nSusan and her family left Horeb in 1964, but she remembers people suspecting the killer may have been somebody local.\n\n\"I know the spot where the body was found, the little culvert. Yes it's by the side of the road but it's concealed by hedges and you wouldn't know the culvert was there unless you were local,\" she said.\n\n\"When the police interviewed my mother she was asked about commercial travellers - they'd call them reps these days. Because the pub was a free house you'd often get those people calling in.\"\n\nMonica Richards, who is now 88 and lived in Felinfoel, Llanelli at the time of the murder, said: \"It was tragic to think of that poor child being dumped in a cold, wet culvert in Horeb. It was such a quiet area and we couldn't believe something like that could happen.\n\n\"It was a huge story for the area and in fact the country as a whole. It was the talk of Llanelli for a long, long time.\"\n\nHundreds of people attended Carol's funeral as she was laid to rest in Cathays Cemetery on 27 April, but interest in the case has faded over the years and it remains one of Wales' most notorious unsolved murders.\n\nCarol's mother Mavis passed away in 2002, not knowing who killed her little girl.\n\nThe Cathays that Carol and her friends played in would be unrecognisable to her now.\n\nThe street she grew up on is now home to hundreds of students, and the local shops on Crwys Road have been largely replaced with cafes and other businesses.\n\nBut while the memory of this horrific crime has faded, Det Ch Insp Lewis still hopes someone will come forward with new information.\n\n\"This being the 60th anniversary of Carol's death, it's an apt time for me to appeal to the communities of Cardiff and Horeb, and the wider communities of south Wales, that if anyone has got information as to the identity of the killer, we are still interested,\" he said.\n\nAnyone with information about the murder should call 101 or use the Crimestoppers anonymous line on 0800 555 111.\n• None 'She vanished off the face of the earth'\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Liverpool FC topped the list of Premier League club names used as passwords\n\nMillions of people are using easy-to-guess passwords on sensitive accounts, suggests a study.\n\nThe analysis by the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) found 123456 was the most widely-used password on breached accounts.\n\nThe study helped to uncover the gaps in cyber-knowledge that could leave people in danger of being exploited.\n\nThe NCSC said people should string three random but memorable words together to use as a strong password.\n\nFor its first cyber-survey, the NCSC analysed public databases of breached accounts to see which words, phrases and strings people used.\n\nTop of the list was 123456, appearing in more than 23 million passwords.

A right hand staggered him in round one, allowing Crawford to send him to the canvas.\n\nHe was unable to live with the champion's slickness and took hard shots to the body in round four, landing sporadic - if light - punches of his own.\n\nWhen Crawford, 31, drove a left hook into his groin in the sixth, Khan was legally allowed to take five minutes to recover but, after about a minute, the bell sounded.\n\n\"I could feel it in my stomach and legs. I said 'I can't move',\" Khan said. \"There was no point taking five minutes out, I could not continue. I am not one to give up.

He's not the kind of fighter to make things up. I believe he was incapacitated.\n\n\"We knew we were behind but Amir was starting to work things out and pick up his rhythm.\"\n\nRadio 5 Live analyst Steve Bunce said Khan had been struggling with an elbow injury, adding: \"All he kept saying in the ring was how sorry he was for letting people down.\n\n\"I've seen fighters in small halls getting thrown out for shots like that, accidental or intentional.\"\n\nKhan - a former two-weight world champion - has faced long-standing criticism over his durability but saw this as a chance to again join the sport's elite by humbling a man often lauded as the best fighter across any weight division.\n\nDefeat was always likely but the nature of the loss, along with pre-fight comments in which Khan said he was in the final chapter of his career, will pose questions as to what he does next.\n\nA meeting with rival Brook would undoubtedly sell - although perhaps not with as much fever as when they were at their peak - and that appears the most lucrative contest left.\n\nKhan, who shot to prominence when he won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics, has stepped into the ring with some of the sport's stellar names and if his career were to end, Bunce believes he would be \"in the top 25 British fighters of all time\".\n\nMalignaggi added: \"He may get criticism but I can't fault him because he's had so many tough fights and he deserves a break.\"\n\nCrawford, meanwhile, continues to offer a dazzling blend of poise, counter-punching and ruthlessness, positioning him for further greatness.\n\nHe has held all four belts at super-lightweight and has now won all of his 35 fights.\n\nHe dictated against Khan, switching from southpaw to orthodox stance at will.\n\n\"I saw a different Crawford tonight,\" added Bunce. \"He was so comfortable at any distance and he can fight with any stance he wants to.

There were chaotic scenes as people fled the scene", "She was for budging. Today, the prime minister made her priority leaving the EU with a deal, rather than the happy contentment of the Brexiteers in the Tory party.\n\nFor so long, Theresa May has been derided by her rivals, inside and outside, for cleaving to the idea that she can get the country and her party through this process intact.\n\nBut after her deal was defeated at the hands of Eurosceptics, in the words of one cabinet minister in the room during that marathon session today, she tried delivering Brexit with Tory votes - Tory Brexiteers said \"No\". Now she's going to try to deliver Brexit with Labour votes. In a way, it is as simple as that.\n\nThat could mean, three cabinet sources suggest, accepting many of Labour's demands for the deal - those six tests, which it has often, frankly, been assumed were designed to be impossible to meet. Irony would ring out if in the end they were all delivered because of the desperation of the Tory prime minister.\n\nOne cabinet minister told me the offer to Labour is, \"You want soft Brexit - here it is. You help shape it.\" Potentially, there are political smarts here - challenging Jeremy Corbyn to decide, finally, whether he leads a party that really is up for pushing through our departure from the EU, or a group that wants to fight it until its last breath. Either choice for him is complex given that his party is divided too.\n\nAnd ministers tonight don't hold out huge hope of a genuinely productive cross-party process. Frankly, they don't know if they can trust Mr Corbyn enough to come to a genuine agreement that Labour would stick to.\n\nOf course, for any opposition party the temptation might be always to play for political advantage. We know by now that is not necessarily exactly the same as the best interests of you and me.\n\nAnd whether it's Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn who sinks this still hypothetical process, it will be Parliament that takes the reins. That could, in turn, challenge reluctant Brexiteers to confront the reality that the prime minister's deal could be the best version of Brexit they are ever going to get - maybe, just maybe, swinging support for Theresa May's withdrawal agreement in the end. Stranger things have happened.\n\nBut the prime minister has taken a huge risk with her party, and an implosion may stop any of this process in its tracks. There's what's described as \"genuine fury\" among Brexiteer ranks and ministers that the PM has made this choice. One senior Tory said she is \"making an art form of bad misjudgements - this is not just a Rubens or a Van Gogh, it's the whole Tate Modern\".\n\nAs ever, there is a very big gamble that has just become a real risk. The prime minister can reach out for support from the other parties - and compromise to get it - and ultimately maybe get her deal through. But if and when she is able to do that, her party may be so split and so fractious that she may not be able to govern or do anything, ever again.\n\nIf she were actually to strike some form of weird pact with the Labour Party over Brexit how long could it reasonably last? And how could it function and deliver a sustainable agreement when she has already said that she is leaving and another leader will soon be along to take charge of the second phase of Brexit?\n\nPerhaps right now we can only answer one question that for so long Theresa May has avoided answering. When it came to it, would she choose party unity or leaving the EU WITH a deal? To the irritation of many, but the relief of others, she's chosen trying to get it done with a deal.", "A vote in the House of Commons has been defeated by one vote after the Speaker John Bercow cast the deciding ballot.\n\nMPs were voting on a motion to hold more indicative votes on alternative plans for Brexit but the result was tied with 310 votes for and 310 against.\n\nMr Bercow then voted \"no\" in accordance with precedent.", "The ATM was ripped from the wall of the bank in Castleblayney\n\nA cash machine has been ripped from the wall of a bank in County Monaghan.\n\nIt is understood a jeep, van and stolen digger were used in the theft at Main Street in Castleblayney.\n\nPolice were contacted at about 03:00 BST.

medication for PTSD and anxiety.\n\nInvestigating the case and trying to bring it to court was a long and complicated process.\n\nShe said: \"Because there were several people involved, it took about 18 months, probably, for everybody to be investigated.\n\nAfter one man was arrested, she felt hopeful of a prosecution: \"I was getting quite interested in the fact that maybe finally there will be a prosecution, and they said 'Sorry, no corroboration, that's the end of the line'.\n\n\"I was standing in my office at work on the phone and that was it, and I just felt like collapsing.\"\n\nNow, she is campaigning, along with other survivors of sexual abuse, for corroboration to be dropped.\n\nIn 2014 SNP ministers had proposed abolishing the need for corroboration, although this was dropped in 2015 after a review by former high court judge Lord Bonomy recommended it should be retained in some circumstances.\n\nMs Angus said she appreciated why the standard of evidence should remain high: \"I understand that you do have to protect people.\n\n\"I'm not for changing the law just so people will be falsely convicted, of course not, the law has to protect everybody and everyone deserves a defence.\n\n\"However, it's the quality and sometimes the quantity of evidence.\"\n\nIn her case, however, she thinks that had there been no requirement for corroboration there would have been enough evidence for a prosecution.\n\n\"In my case it was patterns of behaviour over several people that would have taken someone to court and you know it's jut left me feeling kind of defeated, to be honest.\"\n\nBrian McConnachie QC says he has never been convinced by the arguments for scrapping corroboration\n\nBrian McConnachie QC said that the merits of corroboration had already been debated and a decision had already been made for it to be continued.\n\nHe said: \"I know that some people consider that corroboration is something which we ought to abandon or abolish, and as often as not the argument is given that it should be abolished because nobody else has it.\n\n\"I've never been convinced by that argument.\n\n\"We went through a process where it was discussed at significant and considerable length, and at the end of that process the decision was taken that it should go no further.\"\n\nA Scottish government spokeswoman said: \"There was no parliamentary or legal consensus for the removal of the corroboration requirement.\n\n\"We asked Lord Bonomy to conduct a review into what additional safeguards may be required if the corroboration rule was removed.\n\n\"The review recommended research into jury reasoning and decision-making should be undertaken so that any changes to the jury system are made on a fully informed basis.\"\n\nShe added: \"Any future consideration of corroboration reform needs to await the findings of the jury research, which we expect to be complete by Autumn 2019.\n\n\"Since the review reported, we have taken forward a wide range of measures to improve how the justice system deals with allegations of sexual offending and to improve support for victims.\n\n\"The justice secretary and lord advocate co-chair a new victims' taskforce to improve the provision of advice and information for victims of crime and their families and the Scottish government also legislated to introduce statutory jury directions in certain sexual offence cases.\"", "Baby Uma Louise with her parents, Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty and her grandmother, Cecil Eledge\n\nA 61-year-old Nebraskan woman has told of her joy after giving birth to her own grandchild, acting as the surrogate for her son and his husband.\n\nCecile Eledge carried the daughter of her son Matthew Eledge and his husband Elliot Dougherty to term, giving birth to baby Uma Louise last week.\n\nMrs Eledge said she made the offer when her son and Mr Dougherty first said they wanted to start a family.\n\n\"Of course, they all laughed,\" Mrs Eledge told the BBC.\n\nMrs Eledge, who was 59 at the time, said her suggestion remained a sort of joke among family at first, not a realistic path forward.\n\n\"It just seemed like a really beautiful sentiment on her part,\" Mr Dougherty said. \"She's such a selfless woman.\"\n\nBut when Mr Eledge and Mr Dougherty, who live in Omaha close to Mrs Eledge and her husband, began exploring options to have a baby they were told by a fertility doctor that it could be a viable option.\n\nMr Eledge and Mr Dougherty on the day of their daughter's birth\n\nMrs Eledge was brought in for an interview and a series of tests, all of which gave a green light to the surrogacy.\n\n\"I'm very health conscious,\" she said. \"There was no reason whatsoever to doubt that I could carry the baby.\"\n\nWith Mr Eledge providing the sperm, Mr Dougherty's sister Lea served as the egg donor.\n\nMr Dougherty, who works as a hairdresser, said that while straight couples may consider IVF the last resort, for them it was their \"only hope\" for a biological child.\n\n\"We always knew we had to be unique and think outside the box with this,\" Mr Eledge, a public school teacher, added.\n\nMrs Eledge said the pregnancy was smooth throughout, the regular symptoms simply \"elevated a little bit\" compared to her previous pregnancies with her three children.\n\nIn fact, the most obvious sign of her age came less than a week after Mrs Eledge was implanted with the embryo, when Mr Eledge and Mr Dougherty bought her a home pregnancy test to see if the transfer had been successful.\n\n\"We were told not to, but the boys couldn't wait,\" Mrs Eledge said, laughing.\n\nShe looked at the test and was devastated to see the results were negative. But when Mr Eledge came over later that day to comfort her, he saw something she hadn't: a second pink line on the test, confirming a pregnancy.\n\n\"That was really a joyous moment,\" Mrs Eledge said, accompanied by jokes about her failing eyesight.\n\n\"She can't see anything, but she'll be able to deliver,\" Mrs Eledge recalls Mr Eledge and Mr Dougherty saying.\n\nMrs Eledge said the response to her pregnancy has been mostly positive, accompanied by a slight \"shock factor,\" particularly for her two other children, Mr Eledge's siblings.\n\n\"When everyone got the full picture it was nothing but support,\" she said.\n\nBut the pregnancy exposed some persistent markers of discrimination against LGBT families in Nebraska. Though gay marriage has been legal in the state since the landmark Supreme Court decision in 2015, Nebraska has no state laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. Up until 2017, the state maintained a decades-old ban on gay and lesbian foster parents.\n\nMrs Eledge said she fought, unsuccessfully, with her insurance company over health expenses that would have been covered if she was giving birth to her own child. And due to a law designating the person who delivers the baby as mother, Uma's birth certificate lists Mrs Eledge alongside her son, and excludes Mr Dougherty.\n\n\"This is just one small, micro example of the things that create road blocks for us,\" Mr Eledge said.\n\nMr Eledge made headlines four years ago when he was dismissed from his job at Skutt Catholic High School after he informed school administrators that he and Mr Dougherty planned to get married.\n\nMr Eledge's treatment sparked outrage in his community, prompting parents and former and current students to create an online petition calling for an \"end to employment discrimination against Mr Eledge and future faculty\".\n\nTypically a private family, Mrs Eledge says they chose to share their story to counter these examples of \"hate\" towards LGBT individuals and families, and convey \"that there's always hope out there\".\n\n\"I'm learning not to take it personally,\" said Mr Eledge of the negative responses to him and his family. \"At the end of the day, we have a family, we have friends, we have a huge community that supports us.\"\n\nThe Eledge and Dougherty family on the day of Uma's birth\n\nAnd week after Uma's birth, Mrs Eledge says that she and her granddaughter are doing well.\n\n\"This little girl is surrounded by so much support, she's going to grow up in a loving family,\" Mrs Eledge said.\n\n\"This was how it was meant to be.\"", "The girlfriend of rapper Nipsey Hussle says she's \"completely lost\" after his murder in LA on Sunday.\n\nActress Lauren London has spoken for the first time since 33-year-old Nipsey was shot dead, calling him her \"protector\" and \"best friend\".\n\nLauren, 34, and Nipsey had been in a relationship for around six years and have a child together - two-year-old Kross Asghedom.\n\nPolice have arrested a man in connection with Nipsey's murder.\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

'Eating disorders are not glamorous,' said campaigner who died\n\nThe parents of a woman who took her own life at a mental health hospital say failings in her care were \"unbelievable\".\n\nClaire Greaves, 25, from Pontypool, was a patient at Cygnet Hospital, Coventry.\n\nAn inquest jury found care failings contributed to her death in February 2018 and reached an open conclusion.\n\nCygnet said it had learned lessons from the investigation, while Aneurin Bevan health board is reviewing placements for people with complex needs.\n\nClaire was a mental health campaigner and writer who had suffered with anorexia and a personality disorder from an early age.\n\nIn May 2017, she was moved from Abergavenny's Nevill Hall Hospital to Cygnet.\n\n\"I wish I could just go home, I don't want to be over 100 miles away from home for such a long time,\" she tweeted at the time.\n\nClaire was moved more than 100 miles from her home in Pontypool to a hospital in Coventry\n\nHer parents Colin and Debbie Greaves said they were told it was the only available hospital that could manage both of Claire's conditions and were \"reasonably positive\".\n\nBut they soon had concerns about staffing levels and a lack of access to therapies.\n\nClaire was placed in \"seclusion and long-term segregation\" and her parents were told they could not contact her for several weeks.\n\n\"She told us that she had no furniture in the room, that her mattress was brought in at night for her to sleep on and then taken back out,\" Mr Greaves said after a phone call in January 2018.\n\n\"She also mentioned that there had been poor support for her hygiene whilst she was in there.\"\n\nThey were trying to get her moved to a hospital nearer home when she died.\n\nAn inquest jury reached an \"open\" conclusion, and did not decide it was suicide.\n\nClaire had been assessed as being at high risk of self-harm or suicide between 17:00 and 18:00 each day.\n\nBut she was able to obtain a piece of fabric left on the floor outside her room and used it to kill herself alone in her room.\n\nMr Greaves said he felt \"numb\" when he heard the conclusions, adding: \"It seems unbelievable that can happen, they can miss ward rounds, that they can make changes without doing the proper risk assessments, that they cannot follow care plans.\n\n\"The failings were quite shocking.\"\n\nHe said he believed the move would help his daughter but the fact it did not meant he now felt guilt as well as loss.\n\nThe Care Quality Commission (CQC) had already raised concerns about Cygnet before Claire's death.\n\nIt found recruitment and retention of staff was difficult with a high turnover which led to a shortfall in training and supervision levels.\n\nThis lack of consistency led to some patients feeling unsafe on the wards, the CQC said.\n\nAnother CQC inspection published five months after Claire's death found staffing was still a problem, with 61% of employees not comfortable with their daily workload.\n\nIn its own investigation into Claire's death, Cygnet concluded the \"root cause\" was Claire's ability to \"access material from another service user at a point when this was not seen by staff and was then able to ligate with it\".\n\nThe report also stated days before Claire's death there was a reduction in her \"observation levels\", with the reason \"unclear\".\n\nHer parents said they have not received an apology, or any communication from Cygnet, since the inquest.\n\nThe company said: \"We were deeply saddened by Claire's death in February 2018 and we continue to extend our sincere sympathies to her family.\n\n\"Cygnet co-operated fully with the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Claire and we noted the recommendations made during the inquest.\n\n\"We have already implemented a number of measures to address the key learnings from this and we will ensure that we comply fully with all of the recommendations made.\"\n\nA spokesman for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board also offered condolences to the family.\n\n\"We have undertaken a full review of the board's role in commissioning Ms Greaves' placement at Cygnet Hospital and are currently implementing a number of recommendations to review placements for individuals with complex needs,\" he added.\n\nIf you’ve been affected by self-harm, eating disorders or emotional

condemned by the Senate for his comments about the Christchurch attacks\n\nThe Australian Senate has formally censured a politician who sparked outrage by blaming the New Zealand mosque attacks on Muslim migration.\n\nSenator Fraser Anning, a far-right independent, made his comments on the day of the shootings in Christchurch which killed 50 people last month.\n\nOn Wednesday, politicians from across the political spectrum condemned his \"inflammatory and divisive\" remarks.\n\nMr Anning said the censure was \"an attack on free speech\".\n\nThe reprimand, the fifth to be passed by the Senate in the past decade, stated that Mr Anning's remarks last month did not reflect the views of the parliament or the Australian people.\n\nHe had said: \"The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program that allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.\"\n\nHis comments were \"shameful\" and \"appalling\", other politicians told the Senate. The censure read that Mr Anning had sought to \"attribute blame to victims of a horrific crime and to vilify people on the basis of religion\".\n\nThough it carries no practical punishment, the censure is seen as an official condemnation. Politicians cannot be expelled from the parliament unless they are dual citizens, bankrupt, hold other offices, or have been convicted of an offence, constitutional law experts say.\n\nMore than 1.4 million people have signed an online petition demanding Mr Anning's resignation\n\nOnly one senator, Cory Bernardi, voted against the motion on Wednesday. Three others including Mr Anning abstained.\n\nMr Anning entered parliament in 2017 as a replacement for a disqualified senator, despite receiving just 19 votes in the 2016 election.\n\nLast year he also drew condemnation for using the words \"final solution\" - a term invoked during the Holocaust - while calling for race-based immigration restrictions.\n\nMore than 1.4 million people signed a petition demanding Mr Anning's resignation in the days following his comments on 15 March.\n\nAt the time, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called his remarks \"a disgrace\".\n\nIn one highly publicised incident, a teenage protester squashed an egg on the senator's head during a press briefing.\n\nMr Anning has repeatedly defended his comments. He left the Senate on Wednesday before the motion was passed.\n\nGovernment Senate leader Mathias Cormann said Mr Anning's comments were \"sadly made worse given [his] position in this parliament\".\n\nLabor Senator Penny Wong said there was \"a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech\", adding: \"While those injured were being treated, this senator sought to further fan the flames of division.\"", "The man was found on Northolt Road in Harrow by police officers at about 15:20 BST\n\nA man has died after being found injured on a road in north-west London.\n\nThe man, believed to be in his mid-40s, was found on Northolt Road in Harrow by police officers at about 15:20 BST and was pronounced dead 30 minutes later.

it's one of her so-called red lines.\n\nAs a member of the European Union, the UK is part of the EU customs union.\n\nIts members have an agreement not to carry out checks or put tariffs (extra payments) on goods that move around the area.\n\nThis can be particularly advantageous for businesses whose goods cross multiple EU borders.\n\nBut critics of the system say it has several drawbacks.\n\nFor one, members of the customs union cannot negotiate their own trade deals, on goods, with other countries - such as the United States.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nAs recently as 25 March, the prime minister rejected the idea of a customs union, saying it \"does not deliver on [an] independent trade policy\".\n\nLabour says it wants a new permanent customs union with the EU, after Brexit. But it also says it wants the UK to \"have a say\" when the EU strikes future trade deals.\n\nThe level of UK involvement would depend on what Labour means by \"have a say\" but EU law currently prevents a non-EU member from influencing or vetoing its trade negotiations. But Labour says its policy cannot be ruled out until it has had a chance to negotiate this with the EU.\n\nMembership of the single market is another area where there are differences.\n\nThe EU single market requires members to follow the same regulations and standards to keep trade flowing freely. It is based on four freedoms: goods, services, money and people (this last one allows EU citizens to live and work in the UK, and vice versa).\n\nWhen Theresa May first set out her Brexit negotiating objectives, she said failing to leave the single market \"would to all intents and purposes mean not leaving the EU at all\".\n\nThat's because the UK would have to continue to pay into the EU budget, follow all the rules, and continue to allow freedom of movement.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nLabour's policy, on the other hand, is to have \"close alignment with the single market\".\n\nBut the EU has previously said the UK cannot cherry-pick only the parts of the single market it likes.\n\nSo, it's unclear what the EU would accept as \"close alignment\", which Labour is calling for.\n\nTheresa May has always been firm that Brexit must mean the end to freedom of movement.\n\nIn her 2017 election manifesto, she set out plans for an immigration system designed to \"reduce and control\" the number of people coming to the UK from the EU - and she hasn't wavered from this pledge.\n\nLike the Conservatives, Labour also pledged at the 2017 election to end freedom of movement.\n\nSo, on the surface, this looks like something on which the two party leaders could agree.\n\nBut in January, when it came to voting on the Immigration Bill, which would put an end to freedom of movement, Labour encouraged its MPs to vote against it.\n\nA big unknown is whether Labour's policy of \"close alignment\" with the single market might restrict the UK's ability to set its own immigration policy.\n\nIts Brexit Secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, previously told BBC News the party would be willing to accept some EU workers but with restrictions.\n\n\"If somebody is coming to do a job and it needs to be done and it has been advertised locally beforehand with nobody able to do it, then most people would say, 'I accept that,'\" he said.\n\nA Labour spokesperson said: \"We support fair rules and the reasonable management of migration.\"\n\nTheresa May has said she's made it clear in the political declaration - the part of her deal agreed with the EU concerning the future relationship - that the UK agrees to not going backwards in terms of workers' rights.\n\nBut she has not guaranteed that when the EU introduces a new right or protection for workers, the UK will also adopt it.\n\nIn Prime Minister's Questions last week, though, Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to use EU standards, including any introduced in the future, as a minimum for the UK to improve on.\n\nHe accused the prime minister's deal of involving a \"race to the bottom\" on workers' rights - something he said Labour's proposals would prevent.", "Paul McAuley ran a youth hostel in the Amazon city of Iquitos\n\nA British environmental activist and Catholic missionary has been found dead at a hostel in Peru.\n\nThe body of Paul McAuley, 71, was discovered by students on Tuesday in the Amazon city of Iquitos.\n\nLocal media reported that his body had been burned.\n\nThe activist, who was born in Portsmouth, had lived in the country for more than 20 years, working with indigenous people and campaigning on environmental issues.\n\nAn investigation has been launched and officials are questioning six people who lived at the youth hostel which was run by Mr McAuley.\n\nHe was also a lay member of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, a Catholic religious teaching order, and was awarded an MBE for setting up a school in a poor community of the capital, Lima.\n\nMr McAuley came to international attention in 2010 when the Peruvian government ordered his expulsion. He was accused of inciting unrest among indigenous people for protesting against environmental destruction.\n\nIt led hundreds of people to demonstrate in support of him and and he eventually won the right to stay after a lengthy court battle.\n\nEnvironmental groups were quick to pay tribute to Mr McAuley.\n\n\"It has been a privilege to meet and work with Brother Paul,\" Julia Urrunaga, who works for the Environmental Investigation Agency in Peru, said in a tweet.\n\nMr McAuley said he was trying to teach Peruvians in the Amazon about their rights\n\nMr McAuley first travelled to the Peruvian Amazon in 2000 to support indigenous activists.\n\nIn 2010, he told the BBC that he hoped to teach Peruvians about their environmental and human rights.\n\n\"Education is often accused of inciting people to understand their rights, to be capable or organising themselves to ensure their human rights,\" he said.\n\n\"If that's a crime, then yes I'm guilty,\" he added. \"As a member of a Catholic order, my life's been dedicated to human and Christian education.\"", "Ministers are under growing pressure to ban the painful headlocks, wrist and arm twists that can be used to control children's behaviour in youth prisons.\n\nThe national inquiry into child sexual abuse (IICSA) recently concluded \"pain compliance\" measures were child abuse and should be outlawed.\n\nAnd the Equalities and Human Rights Commission ruled last week that such methods should not be used on children.\n\nThe government said restraint was used only as a last resort.\n\nBut children's charities, who have long campaigned for change, say these recommendations ending its use should be adopted straight away.\n\nThe Ministry of Justice commissioned Charlie Taylor, chairman of the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales, to carry out a review of restraint.\n\nThis came after a children's rights group, Article 39, lodged an application at the High Court for a judicial review of the practice.\n\nThat action has been stayed pending the outcome of the report.\n\nBut solicitors acting for the charity have written to the government urging it to put the recommendations into practice.\n\nThey say there is no justification for spending public money on a continued review when the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse examined the use of restraint as part of its investigation into children in custodial institutions.\n\nIt found pain compliance techniques were used on children in custody during 119 incidents in Youth Offending Institutions in the year to 2017.\n\nThe Ministry of Justice said there were 181 incidents in which pain-inducing restraint techniques were used on children last year.\n\nThe techniques, designed for the prison riot squad, aim to force an individual to comply by use of pain.\n\nThey involve pressure being applied to limb joints or certain pressure points. The longer the target takes to comply, the more pain they are likely to endure.\n\nThe most popular physical restraint method is the inverted wrist hold. It was used 3,692 times, according to official data.\n\nOfficials deny this technique causes pain, but a review by the Prisons Inspectorate suggests that it does.\n\nThe IICSA report said: \"The chair and panel consider that the use of pain compliance techniques should be seen as a form of child abuse, and that it is likely to contribute to a culture of violence, which may increase the risk of child sexual abuse.\n\n\"The chair and panel recommend that the Ministry of Justice prohibits the use of pain compliance techniques by withdrawing all policy permitting its use, and setting out that this practice is prohibited by way of regulation.\"\n\nIt added that the use of such techniques \"normalises pain for staff and children\" and \"prevents staff from building trusting relationships and inhibits a child from reporting sexual abuse\".\n\nArticle 39 director Carolyne Willow said: \"Mandating adults in positions of authority to deliberately hurt children, and running training courses that show exactly how to inflict severe pain, is institutionalised child abuse. There is no other way to describe it.\n\n\"These techniques should have been completely withdrawn after the terrible death of Adam Rickwood.\"\n\nAdam Rickwood took his own life in a youth custody centre after he was restrained using a now banned restraint technique.\n\nA coroner ruled the use of force contributed to his death.\n\nMs Willow continued: \"It's taken 15 years to get to this point where the country's largest ever public inquiry into child abuse has recommended legal prohibition.\n\n\"The urgency comes in the inquiry describing pain compliant techniques as a form of child abuse.\n\n\"How can ministers not act quickly to protect vulnerable children after that?\"\n\nHead of policy at the NSPCC Almudena Lara backed Iicsa's calls for pain compliance techniques to be banned.\n\n\"Such outdated practices, including an inverted wrist hold and thumb flexion, are likely to contribute to a culture of violence which may increase the risk of abuse, including child sexual abuse.\n\n\"For far too long, children have been subjected to this inhumane treatment and it must be stopped once and for all.\"\n\nA Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: \"Staff are trained to resolve conflict verbally and our policy is clear that restraint should only ever be used as a last resort where there is a risk of harm to the young person or others and no alternative intervention is possible.\n\n\"In addition, we have commissioned Charlie Taylor to independently review our policy on the use of pain-inducing techniques and he is due to complete his review this summer.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

But this date was extended twice, first to 12 April and then until 31 October, after Mrs May's deal was rejected in successive votes in the House of Commons.\n\nNow it is being extended for a third time - so how does this process work?\n\nThe UK cannot make a decision about extending Article 50 on its own - it has to send a request to the 27 other EU countries.\n\nAll 27 have to agree in order to secure an extension.\n\nOn Saturday 19 October, Mr Johnson sent a letter, as he was compelled to by a law known as the Benn Act. The law stated he must send an extension request should he fail to get a Brexit deal through the House of Commons by the end of 19 October.\n\nMr Johnson also sent a second letter saying he believed that a \"further extension would damage the interests of the UK and our EU partners\".\n\nNevertheless, on 28 October the EU agreed to the extension proposed in his first letter.\n\nThe EU was not obliged to say yes.\n\nOnce it received the UK's delay request, in the form of a letter, the 27 leaders consulted with each other on their decision. It was then made following a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels.\n\nIf EU leaders had decided to offer a longer extension they would have been likely to have met in person to set conditions of the extension.\n\nIt's worth pointing out that Article 50 can also be revoked - effectively cancelling Brexit.\n\nThe UK can in theory do that without consulting anyone else. That would mean that Brexit would not happen and the UK would remain in the EU on the same terms it has now.\n\nThe Liberal Democrats are the only party to say that would they would revoke Article 50 without a referendum if they won a majority in a general election.\n\nThe European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that a revocation should be \"unequivocal and unconditional\", suggesting that the ECJ would take a dim view of any attempt to withdraw an Article 50 notification and then resubmit it again a short time later.", "Tony Meadows and his wife Paula were found dead on Tuesday\n\nA former Concorde pilot and his wife have been found dead at their home.\n\nThe bodies of Tony Meadows and his wife Paula, both in their 80s, were discovered on Tuesday near the west Berkshire village of Bucklebury.\n\nMr Meadows was part of the crew during Concorde's first passenger flight from Heathrow to New York in 1977.\n\nThames Valley Police has launched a murder investigation but is not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.\n\nOfficers were called to the property in Pot Kiln Lane at about 19:35 BST.

At the end of his fourth and final trial of the past two years, the full story of those cases can now be told.\n\nThey drank there regularly. Normally on a Saturday. Often during the week, too.\n\nNumbers varied - from only a couple of drinkers to as many as 10.\n\nThis is the Friar Penketh in Warrington, a busy Wetherspoons in the town centre.\n\nThe conversation of the drinking party was not that of ordinary lads out socialising - football or work - but focused on far darker subjects, such as their hatred of Jewish and non-white people, their veneration of Nazism and Adolf Hitler, and their fascination with terrorism.\n\nOn Saturday 1 July 2017, several members and former members of the banned neo-Nazi organisation National Action arrived in the late afternoon.\n\nThey were joined in the early evening by a youthful-looking man whose wide, hostile eyes are in contrast to his slender, timid frame.\n\nAlmost immediately, the then 22-year-old began complaining about an ongoing police investigation into him for stirring up racial hatred in speeches.\n\nThere was sympathy for Jack Renshaw among his fellow drinkers.\n\nAs the evening wore on, he revealed an imminent plan - that if he was charged by police, he would make a political statement by killing his local MP Rosie Cooper.\n\nHe had already bought a gladius machete - a Roman short sword - to carry out the murder.\n\nHostages would be taken, he elaborated, and he would lure a female detective who was investigating him to the scene by demanding to speak to her. He would then kill her as well.\n\nAfter that, he would commit \"suicide by cop\" by advancing on armed police wearing a fake suicide vest, he told the group.\n\nThe attack would be an act of \"white jihad\" - a slogan used by National Action - and he planned to make a martyrdom-style video setting this out.\n\nNone of those around the table challenged Renshaw, and two of them even suggested alternative targets, namely the then Home Secretary Amber Rudd and a synagogue.\n\nWhat none of them knew was that one of their number was secretly passing information to the anti-racism charity Hope not Hate.\n\nRobbie Mullen, once a committed neo-Nazi, had grown disillusioned and wanted out.\n\n\"I didn't want to be involved in killing anyone, or a group I was involved with killing people. I just didn't want anyone to get killed or hurt,\" he says.\n\nAs Mullen left the pub that night, Renshaw gave him a hug and said they would probably not see one another again.\n\nAlarmed by what was unfolding, Mullen immediately contacted Hope not Hate\n\n\"Jack is going to kill an MP soon,\" he told them.\n\nHe was born in Lancashire and became involved in politics in his teens - first with the English Defence League and then the British National Party (BNP), after meeting its then leader Nick Griffin at an event.\n\nWhen he finished school, he started a degree in economics and politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, but was asked to leave because of his far-right activism.\n\nRenshaw spent years in the BNP, appearing on its posters, in videos, and as a speaker at conferences. He stood for Blackpool Council and worked at the European Parliament in Brussels.\n\nHe also involved himself in campaigning against the sexual grooming of children.\n\nOnce asked to describe his journey, Renshaw said: \"I started off basically as a bit of a civic nationalist with, let's say, slightly covert racist thoughts, and now I'm an outright racist national socialist.\"\n\nNational Action would become his political home.\n\nThe youthful British group, which was founded in 2013, was openly racist and neo-Nazi.\n\nThe new parents and the neo-Nazi terror threat the story of National Action and the threat posed by its members.\n\nIt would be banned in December 2016 after an official assessment concluded it was unlawfully glorifying terrorism.\n\nNational Action had even used an official Twitter account to celebrate the murder of Jo Cox MP by a white supremacist.\n\nRobbie Mullen, then a warehouse worker living in Runcorn, Cheshire, had joined the group after becoming absorbed by extremist politics.\n\nHe had researched other organisations, but was drawn in by the brash, confident National Action, whose members dressed in all-black at demonstrations and used social media to promote their activities.\n\nMullen, now 25, told the BBC he was first attracted by the \"way they looked\" and because \"they were all around my age, whereas the usual far right were old men drinking in a pub.\"\n\nMullen, like Renshaw who was a National Action spokesperson, became a prominent figure in the group, helping to organise activities in north west England.\n\nRenshaw seemed to revel in the cruelty of his chosen ideology.\n\nHis social media pages became a vile stream of hatred and malicious conspiracy theories, with Jewish people a frequent target of abuse.\n\nBut it was two anti-Semitic speeches he made on behalf of National Action that would prove his undoing.\n\nDuring a demonstration on Blackpool seafront in March 2016, Renshaw said Jewish people were \"parasites\" and that Britain had taken the wrong side in World War Two, instead of fighting with the Nazis who were implementing the \"final solution\".\n\nAt a speech in Yorkshire a month earlier, he had said Adolf Hitler was \"right in many senses\", but wrong when he \"showed mercy to people who did not deserve mercy\".\n\nRenshaw said that Jewish people should be \"eradicated\".\n\nHe was arrested at his mother's house in Blackpool in January 2017 and held on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred.\n\nHis mobile phones and other items were seized.\n\nHowever, his speeches were not the only matters under investigation.\n\nRenshaw, a campaigner against child sexual exploitation, was secretly a paedophile who had been grooming boys for sex.\n\nFor nearly a year he had been using a fake Facebook profile to sexually groom two boys, who were aged between 13 and 15 at the time.\n\nDespite not meeting the children, he offered them money for sex and requested intimate photographs. Police were alerted after a relative saw messages on one of the boy's phones.\n\nDetectives established the Facebook messages had been sent from the Blackpool address occupied by Jack Renshaw.\n\nWhen first arrested in January, he had only been interviewed in relation to the speeches, before being released on bail while inquiries continued.\n\nOne of the investigating officers - Det Con Victoria Henderson - was tasked with keeping in touch with the suspect and she also became involved in the sexual offences inquiry.\n\nIn May that year, Renshaw was re-arrested and questioned about the grooming.\n\nHe must have realised his deception was at an end.\n\nDC Henderson later said Renshaw had been \"shocked and upset\" and \"gone visibly white and was very teary\".\n\nHe denied grooming the boys, despite evidence of the offending having been found on his own phones.\n\nThe suspect, who had a history of making homophobic statements, told DC Henderson he was still a virgin, did not believe in sex outside marriage, and that his taste in pornography was \"quite traditional\" and \"quite conservative\".\n\nWhile admitting to having searched online for gay pornography \"out of interest\", he denied being homosexual and said same-sex relationships were \"unnatural\".\n\nWithin two days of being released on bail, Renshaw searched for DC Henderson on Facebook.\n\nUnknown to police, Renshaw had already begun planning an attack on his local MP Rosie Cooper, which would be a political killing. He now resolved to also murder DC Henderson, which would be an act of personal revenge.\n\nEarlier that month he had researched the West Lancashire MP and Googled: \"How long to die after jugular cut\".\n\nOn 7 June, he ordered a machete online - described by its manufacturer as offering \"19 inches of unprecedented piercing and slashing power\" - and paid for next-day delivery.\n\nAfter receiving it, he shared an image of the weapon with associates using the encrypted Telegram messaging app.\n\nBut Renshaw's plans were foiled because of Robbie Mullen.\n\nBy this time, Mullen was secretly communicating with Hope not Hate.\n\nAfter establishing contact in spring 2017, Mullen said that National Action members had not disbanded, despite the group having been banned. He said they were continuing to meet, train together in a private gym, and communicate via encrypted messaging applications.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Jack Renshaw admitted plotting to kill an MP but denied membership of National Action\n\nThe public trappings of the group - demonstrations, the website, the name - had gone, but he claimed the core of the group remained.\n\nWhen it was banned, Mullen later told the BBC, National Action's longstanding fascination with terrorism became central to its purpose, and the group began planning for imminent racial warfare.\n\nAfter Renshaw laid out his violent plans in the pub on 1 July 2017, Mullen spoke to Matthew Collins, his contact and Hope not Hate's research director.\n\nCollins, who was on holiday at the time, recalls the moment he was told that Renshaw \"was going to kill an MP imminently, immediately\".\n\nHe remembers asking Mullen: \"'How immediately?' and he said, 'It's going to happen soon'. And this horrific, unimaginable story unfolded.\"\n\nThe next day Hope not Hate got a message to Rosie Cooper warning her of the danger.\n\nShe informed the police and suddenly found herself at the centre of a counter terrorism investigation - only a year after the murder of her colleague Jo Cox.\n\nWhile this was happening, Renshaw was being interviewed in Lancashire - again by DC Henderson - about the grooming offences. He was then separately charged with stirring up racial hatred in the two speeches.\n\nHe was released on bail, and that night posted a series of messages on Facebook indicative of his mindset.\n\n\"I'm spending my time with family… It will all be over soon.\"\n\nIn another, he wrote: \"I'll laugh last but it may not be for the longest.\"\n\nCounter terrorism detectives hurriedly tried to locate Renshaw, but he was not at his bail address.\n\nWhile searching his uncle's house, they discovered the machete that Renshaw had bought hidden in an airing cupboard.\n\nPolice photos of Renshaw's machete found in an airing cupboard\n\nHe was eventually found and arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.\n\nThe next day, he appeared before a court for the stirring up racial hatred offences and the prosecution successfully opposed bail.\n\nRenshaw was off the streets.\n\nRobbie Mullen, on the other hand, continued associating with the same people.\n\nNone of them knew he was the source of intelligence about the proposed attack.\n\nThere were concerns that Mullen, himself, could face prosecution for membership of National Action.\n\nImmunity had to be granted, and the police had to assess whether his evidence could be used in a prosecution.\n\nIn autumn 2017, six people who had been drinking in the Friar Penketh on the night Renshaw revealed his plot were arrested and eventually charged.\n\nTwo of them, including the group leader Christopher Lythgoe, were convicted of membership of National Action. One man was acquitted of the same charge. Two juries were unable to decide whether the other men - Renshaw included - had stayed in the group after it was banned.\n\nMullen, having refused witness protection, was issued with a \"threat to life\" notice by the authorities.\n\nHope not Hate rushed him away late at night and took him to a safe place - he has been unable to return to his home or job since then.\n\nRenshaw eventually faced four trials over the past 14 months.\n\nIn January 2018, at Preston Crown Court, he was convicted of two counts of stirring up racial hatred in speeches and later sentenced to three years in prison\n\nIn June, at the same court, he was convicted of four counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and jailed for an additional 18 months.\n\nThe case can only be reported now his final trial has concluded.\n\nIn the dock in Preston he appeared sheepish as videos of police interviews with his two young victims, conducted by DC Henderson, were shown to the court.\n\nOne boy described how Renshaw - using a fake Facebook profile under an assumed name - called him a \"hottie\" and \"jailbait\".\n\n\"He was getting too weird, saying he wanted to do weird sexual things to me,\" the victim said.\n\n\"Deffo getting cuddled you,\" Renshaw had informed him.\n\nRenshaw asked the child for explicit photos and tried to entice him into sex by offering money, drugs and pizza: \"One night. 10 grand. Me and you.\"\n\n\"I was scared for my life,\" the child told DC Henderson.\n\nThe second boy said Renshaw bombarded him with messages daily.\n\nAround Christmas time, he sent the child an image of some presents and said he could have them in exchange for intimate pictures.\n\nRenshaw even sent the boy graphic photos of himself.\n\nWhen the child called Renshaw a \"dirty paedophile\" he replied by saying \"that turned him on\", the victim recalled.\n\nRenshaw, in the witness box, said his only explanation for how evidence of his sexual interest in children - including very explicit search terms - came to be on four separate mobile phones to which only he had access, that were seized by police over a period of several months, was \"real time synchronised access\" by Hope not Hate.\n\nHacking, to put it another way.\n\nHacking so complex it was beyond the capabilities of advanced states.\n\nThe fake Facebook profile had been accessed during bursts of online activity that Renshaw admitted were his own, including sometimes within seconds of social media accounts in his own name being used.\n\nNo expert evidence was advanced to support the defence thesis and the prosecution technical experts - who agreed it was impossible for any hacking to have taken place - were not asked by Renshaw's barrister about the theory, because the defendant only put it forward so late in the legal process.\n\nThe prosecution described his story as a \"complete fantasy.\"\n\nWhen asked if he had any qualifications in expert phone analysis, Renshaw admitted he did not but insisted: \"I used to be a technician for Dixons retail.\"\n\nDuring his third trial - at the Old Bailey in summer 2018 - Renshaw was more forthcoming, appearing unashamed at his murderous plans and hatred of others.\n\nOn the first morning of the trial, Renshaw suddenly pleaded guilty to preparing to murder Rosie Cooper and making a threat to kill DC Henderson.\n\nBut he denied membership of National Action and so remained a defendant.\n\nWhen called to give evidence, he said Rosie Cooper was chosen as his target because \"she happened to be my local MP\" and was the \"most logistical representative of the state\".\n\n\"It was me wanting to send the state a message. If you beat a dog long enough it bites,\" he told the court.\n\nHe said the plan was to \"turn up at one of her social events\" and then \"hack\" at her jugular with the machete.\n\nRenshaw, a Holocaust denier who told the court he wanted all Jewish people to be killed, stated his neo-Nazi beliefs loftily but defensively, claiming to be impervious to the horrors such ideas have generated while at the same time calling for more.\n\nHis haughtiness was at odds with his true position: a convicted paedophile and terrorist facing many years in prison.\n\nJurors were unable to decide whether he had remained a member of National Action, nor could the jurors in a retrial.\n\nMullen, who appeared as a witness in both London cases, must now start a new life, but he is unsure of its shape.\n\n\"I don't know at the minute,\" he says. \"I live month-to-month - I don't think into the future too much.\"\n\nBut he knows things will never be the same.\n\nMullen nods quietly when asked if he understands that he probably saved lives, including that of an MP.\n\nHe is still unsure precisely what first triggered his decision to start secretly passing information to Hope not Hate, for which he now works.\n\n\"I've been asked this twice in court. I don't really know,\" he says.\n\nBut he says the violent plans and intentions he was told about meant he had to act.\n\n\"I knew that if I could do something to stop it then I had to.\"", "The USDA has used kittens for its research into toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by parasites\n\nThe US Department of Agriculture (USDA) says it will stop killing cats in a research programme, following strong public criticism.\n\nCats and kittens have been used to research toxoplasmosis - a potentially deadly parasitic illness usually caught from cats or tainted food.\n\nThe animals were fed infected meat, and the parasite's eggs harvested for use in other experiments.\n\nAfter the research the animals were euthanised.\n\nVeterinary groups say that the disease is treatable and the cats should have been adopted.\n\nMore than 3,000 kittens have been put down since the programme was launched in 1982, campaigners the White Coat Waste Project (WCWP) say, with the programme costing more than $22m (£17m).\n\nIn March, bipartisan legislation, known as the Kitten Act, was introduced in Congress to end the practice, describing it as \"taxpayer-funded kitten slaughter\".\n\nIn a statement, the USDA said that \"toxoplasmosis research has been redirected and the use of cats... has been discontinued and will not be reinstated\".\n\nOne of the key figures behind the bill, Democrat Representative Jimmy Panetta, said the announcement showed what was possible in politics.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

It's alarmingly high now.\"\n\nBritain's default option is that it leaves the EU on 12 April. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May held talks with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to try to find a way out of the current deadlock. But that drew criticism from some Conservative Tory MPs.\n\nMr Carney told Sky News: \"We're in a situation where the expressed will of Parliament is for some form of deal, so to put it in the double negative - Parliament is against no deal, the government, as expressed by the prime minister, is against no deal, the European Union is against no deal, and yet it is a possibility, it is the default option.\n\n\"So no deal would happen by accident, it would happen suddenly, there would be no transition - it is an accidental disorderly Brexit.\"\n\nHe took aim at the idea promoted by several Brexiteers - and included in the Malthouse Compromise plan - which assumes that Article 24 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade would allow free trade to continue with the EU while negotiations are in progress.\n\n\"Forget the fiction, it's absolute nonsense. It needs to be called out,\" he said.\n\n\"I might point out that they want to become better acquainted with the Secretary of State for Trade [Liam Fox] who in Parliament has made the point that it cannot apply unless both parties agree, and unless you're moving towards a - guess what - a customs union.\"\n\nMr Carney insisted that London's financial centre was ready to cope with the impact of a no-deal Brexit.\n\n\"There are a lot of things to worry about in the event of a no-deal Brexit, but the financial sector is not one of them,\" he said.", "CO2 is a powerful warming gas but there's not a lot of it in the atmosphere - for every million particles of air, there are 410 of CO2.\n\nThe gas is helping to drive temperatures up around the world, but the comparatively low concentration means it is difficult to design efficient machines to remove it.\n\nBut a Canadian company, Carbon Engineering, believes it has found a solution.\n\nAir is exposed to a chemical solution that concentrates the CO2.\n\nFurther refinements mean the gas can be purified into a form that can be stored or utilised as a liquid fuel.\n\nThe BBC's environment correspondent Matt McGrath explains how it works.", "MPs are going to continue voting, however this is where we have to leave our live text coverage.\n\nYou can still following proceedings on the video at the top of the page or by tuning into BBC Parliament.\n\nClick here for the latest updates to the story.", "Travel companies have been warned against mistreating unfortunate customers by relying on unenforceable deposit and payment demands.\n\nA lack of awareness over how much can be retained when a traveller cancels a booking is widespread, according to the Competition and Markets Authority.\n\nA company cannot automatically keep a large deposit if the customer cancels owing to unforeseen circumstances.\n\nSuch a contract may be unfair, even if written into terms and conditions.\n\nFor example, somebody may cancel a booking owing to illness or a family bereavement. If the travel company has plenty of time to re-sell the room or holiday, or if it becomes available at a peak time, then the company should refund the payment or a hefty deposit.\n\nAny amount it charges should reflect its costs. If the company includes a blanket \"non-refundable deposit\" demand or cancellation fee in its terms and conditions then this could be an unfair contract, not legally binding, and unenforceable - even if the customer has signed it.\n\nPaul Latham, from the CMA - the UK's competition watchdog, said that as many as 50% of travel firms may not be fully aware of the rules. Many smaller firms may copy terms and conditions from others, potentially leading to a proliferation of unfair contracts.\n\nThe watchdog has no plans to launch an investigation into specific operators, but is working with travel trade bodies to raise awareness of the rules through its \"small print, big difference\" campaign.\n\nOn average, a family in the UK can spend up to £3,000 on holidays and travel each year.\n\nThe CMA wants customers to know that they do not always have to resort to travel insurance to retrieve deposits if they are forced to change their plans.\n\nAnyone who believes they have been treated unfairly should contact the company involved, and can contact the Citizens Advice consumer helpline for guidance.\n\nUltimately, they might have to take their case to court.\n\nIt is not the first time the CMA has raised the issue of unfair contracts. In 2016, it gave a general warning to firms, and specifically wrote to wedding venue owners to remind them of their legal obligations.", "Portugal, a country with a rich history of seafaring and discovery, looks out from the Iberian peninsula into the Atlantic Ocean.\n\nWhen it handed over its last overseas territory, Macau, to Chinese administration in 1999, it brought to an end a long and sometimes turbulent era as a colonial power.\n\nThe roots of that era stretch back to the 15th Century when Portuguese explorers such as Vasco da Gama put to sea in search of a passage to India.

His party unexpectedly won a majority of seats in the country's assembly.\n\nHe originally took office in at the head of a left-wing coalition government in November 2015 after a month of political drama, amid expectations of an end to four years of fiscal austerity.\n\nHis party dissolved the coalition after the October 2019 elections to govern as a minority government, but faced rising difficulty in getting policies through parliament - which led to President Rebelo de Sousa calling an election in January 2022.\n\nBorn in 1961, Mr Costa is a veteran Socialist Party politician.

Climate change protesters explain why they glued themselves to a lorry\n\nNearly 300 climate change activists have been arrested after roads were blocked in central London, amid protests aimed at shutting the capital.\n\nA second day of disruption took place after Extinction Rebellion campaigners camped overnight at Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square and Oxford Circus.\n\nUp to 500,000 people were affected by the diversion of 55 bus routes.\n\nThe Met said 290 people had been arrested. During protests in Edinburgh, 29 arrests were made.\n\nOrganisers said protests had been held in more than 80 cities across 33 countries.\n\nIn London, motorists face gridlocked traffic on a number of alternative routes, such as Westminster Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.\n\nTransport for London warned bus users that routes would remain on diversion or terminate early.\n\nMayor of London Sadiq Khan said although he \"shared the passion\" of the activists, he was \"extremely concerned\" about plans some had to disrupt the Tube on Wednesday.\n\n\"Ongoing demonstrations are causing serious disruption to public transport, local businesses and Londoners who wish to go about their daily business,\" Ch Supt Colin Wingrove, of the Met, said.\n\nCampaigners have been ordered to restrict their protests to Marble Arch after they caused widespread disruption on Monday. That order will continue until 21:10 on Friday.\n\nThree men and two women, in their 40s and 50s, arrested on suspicion of criminal damage at Shell's headquarters in London on Monday, have since been released while inquiries continue.\n\nThe majority of the other protesters detained have been held on suspicion of public order offences.\n\nProtesters formed a human blockade and resisted requests for them to disperse, police said\n\nMr Khan said it was \"absolutely crucial\" to get more people to use public transport to tackle climate change, and urged the protesters not to disrupt the Tube.\n\n\"Targeting public transport in this way would only damage the cause of all of us who want to tackle climate change, as well as risking Londoners' safety, and I'd implore anyone considering doing so to think again,\" he said.\n\nBut Extinction Rebellion has said it wanted to \"shut down London\" until 29 April.\n\nIt called for \"reinforcements\" to help maintain the roadblock at Waterloo Bridge.\n\nDemonstrators performed on Waterloo Bridge despite police warning that anyone refusing to move on would be arrested\n\nHundreds of protesters tried to hinder the police effort to move them on, including four who glued and chained themselves under a lorry parked on the bridge.\n\nBen Moss, 42, from Islington, north London, said he had glued himself to the bars of the lorry as \"personal action to the moral issue of the climate crisis and ecological collapse\".\n\n\"I'm doing this because I want the government to do something. I've got a week off work - if more is necessary I can make my excuses,\" he added.\n\nFour people glued and chained themselves to a lorry on Waterloo Bridge\n\nAn order has restricted protesters to gathering in the area around Marble Arch\n\nOn Monday, a pink boat was parked in the centre of Oxford Circus where some activists locked their arms together with makeshift devices, while oil company Shell's headquarters on Belvedere Road were vandalised.\n\nSince its launch last year, members have shut bridges, poured buckets of fake blood outside Downing Street, blockaded the BBC and stripped semi-naked in Parliament.\n\nIt has three core demands: for the government to \"tell the truth about climate change\", reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2025, and create a citizens' assembly to oversee progress.\n\nControversially, the group is trying to get as many people arrested as possible.\n\nOne of the group's founders, Roger Hallam, believes that mass participation and civil disobedience maximise the chances of social change.\n\nBut critics say they cause unnecessary disruption and waste police time when forces are already overstretched.\n\nThe second day of action included speeches at Parliament Square about how to tackle climate change.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

But on Tuesday the Court of Appeal said the CAT had applied the wrong legal test in making its decision.\n\nMr Merricks' claim will now go back to the CAT, which will have to reconsider whether to allow it to proceed.\n\nHe said he was \"very pleased\" by the decision.\n\n\"It is nearly 12 years since Mastercard was clearly told that they had broken the law by imposing excessive card transaction charges, damaging consumers over a prolonged period.\n\n\"As a result we all had to pay higher prices in the shops than we should have done - while Mastercard have pocketed the profits.\n\nMr Merricks' solicitor Boris Bronfentrinker, from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, called the decision a \"landmark day for all UK consumers that Mr Merricks seeks to represent\".\n\nThe proposed claim follows the European Commission's 2007 decision that Mastercard's interchange fees were in breach of competition law.", "One of the south of Scotland's most popular wedding venues has closed, as the owners apply for bankruptcy.\n\nComlongon Castle in Dumfries and Galloway ceased trading last week after \"encountering liquidity problems\" over the last year.\n\nThe move came as a shock to couples with weddings booked at the venue, with one telling BBC Scotland of fears they could be left £6,000 out-of-pocket.\n\nA small number of staff have also been made redundant.\n\nAccountants Johnston Carmichael said it was set to be appointed as trustee to the partnership that owned, operated and managed Comlongon Castle.\n\nPeople who have bookings with the hotel at Clarencefield have been asked to contact the accountancy firm.\n\nIts restructuring partner Donald McNaught said: \"We will be dealing with creditors' claims after the partnership business behind Comlongon Castle encountered liquidity problems during the past year and ceased trading just over a week ago.\n\n\"We are aware that the time between Christmas and Easter is widely recognised within the hotel industry as a difficult trading period -

bringing it to a total of £6,000.\n\n\"Everything seemed fine, and everyone there was happy enough,\" she said.\n\nBut on Friday Mr Wakefield's father heard a rumour from a friend at work that the hotel was closed.\n\nWhen Ms Campbell sent an email to find out more details, she received an automatic reply confirming its closure and adding details of the administrator.\n\n\"We were devastated really, and angry that no one had contacted us from Comlongon,\" she said.\n\nNow they are frantically searching for a new venue for their wedding - and hoping to get their £6,000 back.\n\nMs Campbell said: \"I'd like an apology from Comlongon, our wedding to go ahead, and to get our money back.\"\n\nThe castle is set in 140 acres of grounds\n\nCouples who planned to marry at Colmongon Castle were promised a memorable wedding in the \"romantic medieval great hall\".\n\nIt was popular with couples keen for a traditional wedding in a Scottish castle - particularly with people from outside Scotland.\n\nSet in 140 acres of gardens and woodlands, the castle is attached to a 14-room hotel.\n\nOn its website, the owners claim to have had more than three decades of experience at successfully organising weddings.\n\nIt was also marketed as a country house hotel \"specialising in quiet getaways\".\n\nOwner Phillip Ptolomey said his parents bought the hotel in 1984, after it was up for sale for many years.\n\nIt was suffering from neglect, but he said the building has since been extensively renovated.\n\nAfter taking it over in 1995, he said he continued to upgrade the castle and the hotel - but it came at a cost.\n\nWriting on the hotel website, he said: \"Every penny generated goes to the restoration of the castle and estate.\n\n\"This work will probably never be finished as constant upgrades require a budget far in excess of that generated by being run as a hotel.\n\n\"However, this castle deserves to be saved, restored and to survive.\"", "Naomi Long has spoken to UUP leader Robin Swann about the leaflet\n\nThe Alliance Party has condemned an election leaflet that claimed its Belfast councillors had a record of \"voting with the Provisional IRA's political wing\".\n\nThe leaflet was issued by Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) council candidates Peter Johnston and Jim Rodgers.\n\nIt said Alliance councillors on Belfast City Council were \"closely aligned to Sinn Féin\".\n\nThe UUP said it was \"not a central UUP message\".\n\nMr Johnston and Mr Rodgers are standing for election to Belfast City Council in the Ormiston ward.\n\nAlliance leader Naomi Long said: \"This is a deliberate attempt by the UUP to link Alliance members to the IRA, in an area where our offices have been attacked, representatives have received death threats and some have been forced to leave their homes due to previous raising of tensions by the UUP and others.\n\n\"While I wish I could say I was surprised by their latest actions, given the UUP's involvement in producing 40,000 inflammatory leaflets several years ago, I sadly am not.\"\n\nSpeaking on the BBC's Evening Extra programme, the Alliance leader called for the leaflet to be withdrawn and for an apology to be issued to its councillors who sit on Belfast City Council.\n\n\"Alliance, throughout it's history, has been unequivocal when it came to violence and upholding the rule of law, and therefore of course it offends me,\" she said.\n\n\"But I think also, potentially, places our councillors and our workers in danger when people try to falsely align us with any paramilitary organisation.\"\n\nShe added that there was no need to \"smear\" rival candidates in order to get elected.\n\nBBC News NI has seen correspondence from Mrs Long to UUP leader Robin Swann, sent on Friday, where she asked for \"assistance in getting this nonsense stopped\".\n\nShe said the leaflet was not factually correct and that language of that type could \"enable\" threats from members of the public.\n\nIt is understood Mr Swann contacted Mrs Long in relation to her concerns on Wednesday.\n\nA UUP spokesperson said the matter had been referred to party officers.\n\nThey said: \"This was not a central Ulster Unionist Party message.

Mr Goldscheider, from Bedfordshire, now has to wear ear defenders to carry out everyday household tasks such as preparing food.\n\nSpeaking after Wednesday's Court of Appeal decision, he said: \"I am grateful to the court for acknowledging that more should have been done to protect me and other musicians from the risk of permanent and life changing hearing problems.\n\n\"We all want to find a way to participate and share in the experience of live music in a safe and accessible way and I hope that the guidance which the Court of Appeal has given in my case will help others. I hope that the Royal Opera House will now support me to get on with rebuilding my life.\"\n\nIn terms of protecting people from hearing damage due to noise, this case effectively brings an orchestra space - or any live music venue for that matter - into line with other working environments such as a factory floor. An orchestra space or gig venue becomes, if you like, a factory where noise is the end product rather than the by-product of an industrial process.\n\nBecause no classical musician has sued an orchestra for acoustic shock before Mr Goldscheider, it has become something of a myth that orchestra spaces and live music venues are exempt from noise protection.\n\nThat myth was fed in part by a defence available to employers under the Compensation Act. It effectively said that as the product (that is, the music) was of high artistic value, some noise damage to those producing it was acceptable.\n\nBut the Court of Appeal ruling lays that myth to rest. Employers and organisers will now have to put processes in place to assess noise and anticipate sudden rises in noise levels. They will then have to take all reasonably practical steps to prevent injury resulting from the noise. The music won't stop, but it could get a fair bit quieter.\n\nAlex Beard, chief executive of the ROH, said he was pleased the court had accepted its argument that it was not \"reasonably practicable for orchestral musicians to wear hearing protection at all times whilst performing and rehearsing\".\n\nSuch a move, as recommended in the original High Court ruling, would be \"completely impractical with potentially devastating and far-reaching consequences for the entire sector\", he said.\n\nHe said the ROH would work with its legal team to consider its next move.\n\n\"This is an unprecedented and unusually complex case for the live-music and theatre industries and we will continue to work collegiately with other cultural institutions to encourage and implement best practice across the sector,\" added Mr Beard.\n\nMr Goldscheider's solicitor, Chris Fry, said: \"Live music, and quality artistic output can be ruined by turning sound into noise.\n\n\"I can choose to turn volume and other settings down if I listen in private, but no such luxury existed for Chris Goldscheider and many other musicians who are required to have someone else dictate the noise they are exposed to at work.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nHe said the hearing protection is \"not always practicable\" and was \"never intended to be the complete solution\".\n\n\"The court's emphasis on reducing noise at source will have implications in live music, entertainment and sports across various jurisdictions where there is the potential for sudden and unexpected noise,\" he added.\n\nMr Goldscheider began playing the violin at the age of five and the viola from about 21. He studied in Prague and the UK and played with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and BBC Symphony orchestras.\n\nIn 2002 he joined the viola section of the ROH orchestra as number eleven viola and was promoted to number six. Career highlights included playing on stage with Kylie Minogue and with the Three Tenors to 100,000 people in Barcelona.\n\nHe left the ROH in July 2014 as a result of his injuries.", "Watching the cathedral go up in flames is deeply upsetting for the locals\n\nNo other site represents France quite like Notre-Dame.\n\nIts main rival as a national symbol, the Eiffel Tower, is little more than a century old. Notre-Dame has stood tall above Paris since the 1200s.\n\nIt has given its name to one of the country's literary masterpieces. Victor Hugo's novel Hunchback of Notre-Dame is known to the French simply as Notre Dame de Paris.\n\nThe last time the cathedral suffered major damage was during the French Revolution, when statues of saints were hacked by anti-clerical hotheads. The building survived the 1871 Commune uprising, as well as two world wars, largely unscathed.\n\nIt is impossible to overstate how shocking it is to watch such an enduring embodiment of our country burn.\n\nLocals are not famous for their sunny disposition, but few can walk along the banks of the Seine in the central part of the capital without feeling their spirits rise at the majestic bulk of Notre-Dame.\n\nIt is one of the few sights sure to make a Parisian feel good about living there.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

The cathedral is not just the most popular tourist site in Western Europe. Eight centuries after its completion, it is also still a place of worship - about 2,000 services are held there every year.\n\nBut it is also much more than a religious site. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed the shock of a \"whole nation\" at the fire. As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said, Notre Dame is \"part of our common heritage\".\n\nMany of those looking on as flames engulf the building are in tears.

It's a kind of sibling rivalry\n\n\"Wanlockhead is the sister village of Leadhills and they do everything together.\n\n\"The only dispute we ever have is about who is the highest village.\"\n\nTo solve this sibling dispute, BBC Radio Four's More or Less called in Steve Cussell, an Ordnance Survey field surveyor based in nearby Dumfries.\n\nThe first task was to find the centre of Leadhills\n\nMr Cussell took his kit to Leadhills first.\n\nIt reads GPS satellites in orbit around the earth to measure the altitude at any point on the ground.\n\nHe says the obvious place to start is by finding the centre of the village. That is not too hard.\n\nResident Cameron Halfpenny takes us to the fire station, the hotel and the village shop.\n\n\"This is downtown Leadhills. This is where it all happens!\" he says.\n\nIt registers at 394.7m (1,295ft) above mean sea level.\n\nThe centre of Leadhills is 395m above mean sea level\n\nBut looking around the village there are some houses on the hill that are much higher than the centre point and then the road slopes down to houses much lower down.\n\nMr Cussell says another way of measuring could be to take the highest and lowest point of the village and get an average.\n\nThe highest house is 429.9m above mean sea level (1,410ft).\n\nDown the hill, following a stream which will later become the River Clyde, the lowest house in Leadhills is 369.3m (1,212ft).\n\nWanlockhead has a population of about 150\n\nThe village is just a mile away from Leadhills\n\nIt is only short distance away but when we get there it really does feel very different.\n\nThe houses perch precariously on steep hillsides either side of a deep valley, carved by the Wanlock water that cuts through the village.\n\nThe centre of the village is 405.6m (1,331ft) above mean sea level, almost 11 metres higher than Leadhills.\n\nBut Cameron Halfpenny insists on measuring the average height so we trek up the hill to the highest house in Wanlockhead and, it is claimed, in all of Scotland.\n\nTaking a measurement at the highest house in Scotland\n\nWe then take the lowest house in Wanlockhead and the average is 393m, lower than Leadhills.\n\nOn a map it is the lowest house but it feels a long way from the village.\n\n\"It is about a 10-minute walk down the valley from the main part of the village,\" says Cameron Halfpenny.\n\nSteve Cussell decides to rule out this measurement and sets out to find another house closer to the main cluster in the village.\n\nWanlockhead is in the hills of Dumfries and Galloway\n\nUsing this more central house, the average of Wanlockhead jumps up to 414m (1,358ft), higher than the average for Leadhills.\n\nBut which is the best measure to use?\n\nThe Ordnance Survey say the most reliable measure is the altitude at the doorstep of the highest house.\n\nIn Leadhills this would be 430m (1,411ft) but the highest house in Wanlockhead is 444m (1,457ft).\n\nIt seems that whichever measure you use, Wanlockhead is the highest village in Scotland.\n\nEven though he has lost the argument, Cameron Halfpenny takes it surprisingly well.\n\nHe says: \"That seems to be a reasonable way to do it, great for Wanlockhead and long may it reign.\"\n\nLa Rinconada is the highest town in the world\n\nWhile Wanlockhead is the highest village in Scotland, it is not the loftiest in the UK.\n\nA village called Flash in England's Peak District, near the town of Buxton, is 463m (1,519ft) above mean sea level.\n\nIn turn, it is positively lowland compared to La Rinconada in the Peruvian Andes, which is 5,100m (16,700 ft) above sea level, about three times the height of the UK's highest mountain Ben Nevis.\n\nTo hear more on this story, listen to the More or Less podcast.\n\nMore or Less is the podcast that explains and often debunks the numbers in the news.

The Edinburgh couple who are part of a kidney transplant chain\n\nWhen Mandy Murray found out she needed a new kidney her husband Graham volunteered to be a donor but was told he was not a match. Instead the couple became part of a kidney swap chain, which is allowing more people to find live donors.\n\nBecause her husband was not compatible, Mandy had to wait until a suitable donation became available from a deceased donor.\n\nShe considers herself lucky to have got a phone call in the middle of the night and been rushed to hospital to receive the donor kidney.\n\nMany people are not so fortunate. Last year, 26 people in Scotland died while waiting for a kidney transplant.\n\nWhen a person needs a new kidney they first turn to family and friends to find a living donor.\n\nDoctors says patients who have a living kidney transplant tend to live longer and feel better than those who receive kidneys from a deceased donor.\n\nMandy's new kidney allowed her to function for 18 years but it has recently started to decline and she was told she would need another transplant.\n\nHer husband Graham was tested again but was still not a match.\n\nMandy's husband Graham was not a potential donor match for his wife\n\nHowever, Mandy's consultant told her about the UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme, which has been running for more than a decade.\n\n\"It is where couples like us can be paired up and help each other out,\" says Mandy.\n\n\"I tried desperately to talk him out of it but he was having none of it.\"\n\nThe kidney sharing scheme uses an algorithm designed at Glasgow University.\n\nIt goes through everyone who has volunteered and tries to find better matches and maximise the number of possible transplants.\n\nThe computer programme is run four times a year and the transplants are then scheduled by a dedicated coordinator.\n\nSarah Lundie is one of the donor scheme coordinators\n\nIt is a logistical challenge, according to Sarah Lundie, the coordinator at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary.\n\nIn order for even the simplest kidney swap to go ahead you need two healthy donors and two recipients who are also not suffering from any illnesses.\n\nIf any one of them gets so much as a cold, the whole carefully arranged schedule must be cancelled.\n\nMs Lundie must also make sure that there are operating theatres booked at both locations and four surgeons must be available to carry out the procedures, not to mention their extensive back-up teams.\n\nThere is also a great deal of liaison going on to ensure that the organs are transported from the donors to the recipients at the same time.\n\nGraham and Mandy said it was a relief to get to the day of the operation\n\nAs he sat in Edinburgh waiting to donate his kidney, Graham Murray, 53, was aware that there was someone in Belfast, who must remain anonymous, waiting to give up a kidney so that it could be donated to Mandy.\n\nGraham says: \"Getting to this morning with everyone fit and healthy and ready to go is a great relief.\"\n\nHis wife Mandy, 57, says they have felt the \"responsibility\" of keeping well in the weeks before the operations so that the donor sharing chain would not be broken.\n\nShe says: \"Graham and I decided to sequester ourselves in our house, get our shopping delivered and really try not to catch anything so we could make sure that bond could be maintained.\"\n\nGraham and his counterpart in Belfast are the first part of the surgical equation.\n\nBoth donor kidneys are removed simultaneously in the two locations.\n\nIn Edinburgh, consultant transplant surgeon John Terrace scrubs up for an operation he says usually takes about three hours.\n\n\"I'm thinking about the donor rather than the recipient,\" he says.\n\n\"The focus with donors is operating safely and meticulously. The risk to donors is actually very small.\"\n\nMr Terrace says he uses a modified form of keyhole surgery to remove the kidney.\n\nHe uses laparoscopy to see but also has his hand inside the patient.\n\n\"That offers an extra element of control and safety,\" Mr Terrace says.\n\n\"The first 80% is moving things out of the way, moving the liver and the bowel and identifying the kidney and the structures that go into it and come out - the vein, the artery and ureter.\"\n\nHe says these are then prepared so the kidney can be removed quickly but still be suitable for \"reimplantation\" into the recipient.\n\nOnce the kidney is removed it is quickly on its way.\n\nIn this case, the organs leave Edinburgh and Belfast on chartered flights, arriving in time for the donation surgery to happen in the afternoon.\n\nShe uses blood vessels going to the leg to help attach the new kidney.\n\nThen the blood supply is returned and the kidney turns pink and perfused.\n\nOften the kidney passes urine on the operating table.\n\nMs Cornateanu said the shared donor scheme had been a big success\n\nThe surgery takes about three hours and the patient is immediately started on anti-rejection drugs and goes into a high-dependency unit.\n\nAfter successfully operating on Mandy, Ms Cornateanu describes her team as the \"vehicles\" between the donor and the recipient.\n\n\"That's our role. It is fulfilling, rewarding, humbling and it is a big relief at this stage.\"\n\nMs Cornateanu said the shared donor scheme had been a big success and even in the past year the number of live donor transplants had risen in Edinburgh by half to 14.\n\n\"It has been a big team effort from all of us and we need to sustain that. That's the challenge.\"\n\nAcross Scotland, 50 kidney sharing scheme transplants have taken place in the past five years.\n\nIt is more common for living donor transplants to involve a relative or friend who is a close match but this is not always possible.\n\nAnother form of living donation is \"altruistic\". Over the past 10 years, 78 people in Scotland have donated a kidney to a stranger.\n\nThe day after their operations, Mandy and Graham were told the other donor and recipient in the chain were doing well.\n\nGraham said: \"That's fantastic. We never expected to know.\"\n\nThe pair hope they will soon be recovered enough to fulfil all the plans they have had to put on hold until now.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Kezia Dugdale says the ruling is \"good news for a healthy and free press\"\n\nFormer Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has won a legal case brought by a pro-independence blogger who accused her of defamation.\n\nWings Over Scotland blogger Stuart Campbell took Ms Dugdale to court after she claimed in a newspaper column that he had sent \"homophobic tweets\".\n\nIn a written judgment, Sheriff Nigel Ross said Ms Dugdale was incorrect to imply that Mr Campbell is homophobic.\n\nBut he said her article was protected under the principle of fair comment.\n\nAs a result, the sheriff ruled that Ms Dugdale was not liable to pay any damages to Mr Campbell, who had been seeking £25,000.\n\nThe case centred on a tweet posted by Mr Campbell during the Conservative Party conference in 2017, which said that Conservative MSP Oliver Mundell \"is the sort of public speaker that makes you wish his dad had embraced his homosexuality sooner.\"\n\nIn a subsequent column in the Daily Record newspaper, Ms Dugdale referenced his \"homophobic tweets\" and accused him of spouting \"hatred and homophobia towards others\" from his Twitter account. She later raised the tweets in the Scottish Parliament, and called on SNP politicians to \"shun\" Mr Campbell.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

It was based on true facts; the statements complained about were honest; it concerned a matter of public interest, and the comments were fair.\n\n\"Her comments were fair, even though incorrect\".\n\nSheriff Ross added that the defamation laws recognise there is \"significant public interest in allowing people to freely express opinions without fear of legal penalty\".\n\nHe went on to describe Mr Campbell as someone who has \"chosen insult and condemnation as his style\", and said the blogger cannot \"hold others to a higher standard of respect than he is willing himself to adopt.\n\n\"I do not accept that he can dismiss the feelings or reputations of his opponents cheaply, but receive a high valuation of his own.\n\n\"Had I been awarding damages, those damages would have been assessed at £100\".\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

But this debris won't just be removed and forgotten about.\n\n\"Early phases of the work will include the archaeological recording of surviving fragments of timber, stone and artworks,\" says Dr Kate Giles, from the University of York's department of archaeology.\n\n\"This will enable the Notre-Dame team to salvage what can be reused and provide crucial evidence for the design of new fabrics in the building,\" she says.\n\nThe fire at Notre-Dame raged for more than 15 hours\n\nOnce the cathedral is cleared, experts say a thorough survey will need to be carried out to establish the extent of the damage and to ensure it is safe to re-enter.\n\n\"Safety will be the prime concern,\" says Dr Amira Elnokaly, a lecturer in archaeology at the University of Lincoln. \"There should be critical inspections to avoid any risks of further collapses or falling debris.\"\n\nThe survey will then turn to the stonework at the top of the cathedral near the roof.\n\n\"The upper stone work, the vaulting and the top windows, will have been baked and the temperature will have spoiled and weakened the stone,\" says Paul Binski, a history of medieval art professor at the University of Cambridge.\n\n\"The first thing they're going to do is a massive survey of the stone,\" he says. \"They're going to have to scaffold the whole building and look very closely at its condition.\"\n\nA view of the stone ceiling inside the Notre-Dame before the fire\n\nThis is because the stone ceiling will have taken the brunt of the impact when the timber roof above collapsed, experts suggest.\n\n\"The 19th Century spire, the 19th Century roofing, what will have happened is that these will have crashed down on to the stone vault underneath, the rib vault, which rises to 108ft (33m),\" Prof Binski says.\n\n\"The vaulting system will have shielded what's in the church from the inferno above,\" he adds. \"Of course, it will likely have come down in parts, but it will have done a major protective job.\"\n\nIndeed, images appear to show that the pulpit, pews and altar have escaped the fire largely unscathed.\n\nIf some of the stonework does need to be replaced then, Prof Binski says, the team will probably use traditional methods to do so.\n\n\"It's important to look at the original construction methods and try to emulate them.\" he explains. \"This involves building an awful lot of wood scaffolding inside the church because [stone vaulting] is built around a kind of wooden structure - like a mould.\n\n\"They're not built with cement but with something that's rather like putty.\"\n\nProf Binski says that if a large amount of the stone vaulting needs to be replaced it could be \"the biggest vaulting operation of this type undertaken since the Middle Ages\".\n\n\"The question is how long this is going to take and my guess is 5-10 years minimum to get the whole thing re-vaulted,\" he says.\n\nThis estimate highlights the challenges facing the restoration team if they are to meet President Emmanuel Macron's suggested timescale. The French leader wants Notre-Dame rebuilt by the time Paris hosts the Summer Olympics in 2024.\n\nBut Mr David says this is a feasible goal. \"I don't think it will take 10 years,\" he says. \"It might take two years to decide what to do, but [five years] is quite achievable.\"\n\nPhotos from inside the cathedral appear to show that at least one of its famed rose windows has survived, although there are concerns for some of the other stained-glass windows.\n\nSo how will the experts protect and restore these?\n\n\"They will do an initial survey when they establish what the highest priorities are in terms of historical and artistic significance,\" says Sarah Brown, an expert in stained glass windows.\n\nAt least one of the three famous rose windows is reported to have survived the fire\n\n\"I suspect all of the windows will require some attention because a fire of that size will generate so much smoke and soot,\" she says. \"Even if the windows are in relatively good order they're certainly going to require cleaning.\n\n\"The biggest problem will be the heating up and then the rapid cooling down of the glass as it's been struck by water from the cannons,\" Ms Brown explains. \"This will bring about thermal shock that will cause micro-fractures in the glass which will be really difficult to stabilise.\"\n\nShe continues: \"They will need to re-lead these windows because the lead that keeps it all together will no longer hold good, but you cannot even attempt that until you've stabilised the heat-induced micro-fractures in the glass.\n\nThere are modern adhesives that can do that, however.\"\n\nAnd what if one of the cathedral's windows has been completely destroyed? \"The big question then is how they go about re-glazing the building,\" Ms Brown says.\n\n\"You can't leave it with nothing in the window,\" she says. \"Some might call for a new stained glass window but it's too early to say what should be done. Windows can be remarkably resilient, so let's hope that's been the case here.\"", "Paul Linsell with his Spitfire replica, partially dismantled to be moved to a museum\n\nAn aviation fan has said goodbye to a replica Spitfire fighter plane he spent seven years restoring in his garden.\n\nThe aircraft in Paul Linsell's front garden in Heacham, Norfolk, became a local attraction, drawing interest from holiday-makers.\n\nBut it has finally been moved to an aviation museum where its restoration will be completed.\n\nMuseum chairman Jim Paradine said his \"jaw dropped\" when he saw the replica fighter plane for the first time.\n\n\"I didn't expect much\" said Mr Paradine when he decided to go to Mr Linsell's house to take a look at the replica.\n\n\"But sitting on the lawn was a mark nine Spitfire. It was absolutely incredible, I couldn't believe it.\"\n\nThe vintage plane was bought by Paul Linsell for £6,000\n\nMr Linsell, 55, said the replica was originally made \"many years ago\" for display at Duxford Imperial War Museum in Cambridgeshire, but was written off after being damaged in storms.\n\nHe bought the plane from a friend for about £6,000 and has spent the years since completing essential repairs.\n\n\"I say to people it was either that or a very large garden gnome, so I went for the Spitfire,\" said Mr Linsell.\n\n\"I bought it for the love of it - I've always loved Spitfires. I'm not a RAF man but I've always had an interest in them.\"\n\nRefurbishment of the aircraft will continue at the museum\n\nThe plane has been loaned for four years to the Fenland and West Norfolk Aviation Museum, where it will be resprayed, the cockpit refitted and where \"more people can appreciate it\" said Mr Linsell.\n\nMr Paradine said it would now \"take pride of place\" and he expected the Spitfire would be a big draw.\n\nThe museum is raising funds to buy its premises and secure its future, and will display the single-seat fighter alongside the fuselage of a Hurricane aircraft, another renowned World War Two fighter plane.\n\nIts new home for the next four years will be the Fenland and West Norfolk Aviation Museum\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "A government department responsible for data protection laws has shared the contact details of hundreds of journalists.\n\nThe Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport emailed more than 300 recipients in a way that allowed their addresses to be seen by other people.\n\nThe email - seen by the BBC - contained a press release about age-checks for adult websites.\n\nDigital Minister Margot James said the incident was \"embarrassing\".\n\nShe added: \"It was an error and we're evaluating at the moment whether that was a breach of data protection law.\"\n\nIn the email sent on Wednesday, the department said new rules would offer \"robust data protection conditions\", adding: \"Government has listened carefully to privacy concerns.\"\n\nA DCMS Spokesperson said: \"In sending a news release to journalists an administrative, human error meant email addresses could be seen by others.

None of the women opted to attempt a vaginal breech birth, which is possible but carries some risk.\n\nNineteen of the 179 women were able to deliver vaginally, 110 had a planned caesarean and 50 needed an emergency caesarean.\n\nResearcher Prof Gordon Smith said it should be feasible to provide the service at a low cost, for example by making it a part of a standard midwife appointment and using inexpensive portable ultrasound machines.\n\n\"If it was under £20 per patient then it would be cost-effective and if it could be done for under £13 then it should save the NHS money in the long run,\" he said.\n\nExperts said the cost-effectiveness for the NHS should be explored.\n\nPrivate patients can pay from £30 to £200 or more for a pregnancy ultrasound scan.\n\nProf Andrew Shennan, professor of obstetrics at King's College London, said the scans should be rolled out.\n\n\"Breech can be difficult to manage in labour if previously unsuspected, as labour can be quick,\" he said.\n\n\"Breech deliveries have some risk, and counselling and decision-making in labour can be challenging. Scans are routinely available now, and minimal skills are required to determine breech presentation.

Susan DeVere tells Victoria Derbyshire her raffle was \"as transparent as possible\".\n\nSums of £65,000, £7,000 and £5,000 were handed out in June last year.\n\nOne person complained the raffle had been administered unfairly because the prize had been changed to a cash amount.\n\nBuilt in the 1880s, the 17-bedroom property had been valued at between £1.5m and £2.5m and comes with five acres of land and views across the Solway Firth.\n\nMrs DeVere told the ASA that all property competitions were run in the same way and the castle could not be awarded if there were not enough entries received to clear the mortgage.\n\nShe said it was made clear from the beginning that if not enough entries were received, the property would not be awarded and a cash prize would be offered instead.\n\nMrs DeVere added that after the prize draw had taken place the winner was offered a share of the property and a chance to run a business there had they wanted to, which was a goodwill offer unconnected to the competition. The winner chose to accept the cash prize.\n\nThe ASA said the complainant had entered the promotion in the hope of winning the castle.\n\nIt said: \"We understood that at the end of the competition three cash prizes were awarded at the value of £65,000, £7,000 and £5,000 instead of the advertised prize, because the minimum number of entries had not been reached, and that the advertiser had offered the winner a share of the property.\n\n\"However, we considered that a share of the property or any cash alternative that was less than the value of the property, were not reasonable equivalents to the prize as advertised.\n\n\"Because neither the advertised prize nor a reasonable alternative had been awarded, we concluded that the promotion had not been administered fairly and was in breach of the code.\"\n\nThe castle had been valued at between £1.5m and £2.5m\n\nMrs DeVere told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that she planned to appeal against the ruling because it \"doesn't make any sense\".\n\n\"It wasn't unfair. We did absolutely everything to make it as fair and transparent as possible,\" she said.\n\n\"Right from the beginning, on our website it said that if enough entries didn't come in then it would be a cash prize.\n\n\"We actually gave examples of what the cash prizes would be.\"\n\nMrs DeVere said that she had not made any money from the competition.\n\nShe said the ticket sales raised £107,000, of which £77,000 was given out in prizes and £19,000 was given to charity. The remaining money went on things like advertising, websites and legal costs.\n\n\"It never occurred to me that there would not be enough interest, or else I would not have done it,\" she added.\n\n\"It's not something that you do for enjoyment.\"\n\nIn a post on the Win Your Castle website, Mrs DeVere blamed the raffle failure on companies such as Eventbrite and Paypal, which she claimed withdrew their support.\n\nShe also said there were \"many inconsistencies\" in the ASA investigation.", "Kim Kardashian has responded to critics who have claimed she is only able to study law because of her wealth and celebrity status.\n\nKim revealed she's studying to become a lawyer last week, and will be taking her bar exam in 2022.\n\nThe reality star says her move into law is nothing to do with privilege or money.\n\nShe says she's putting in the hours and says \"there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams\".\n\nKim shared a photo on Instagram of her working alongside her two lawyer mentors - Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney.\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

This included scenarios of a no-deal Brexit with and without policy response.\n\nDespite the potential for loss, researchers expect the damage to be offset by action taken by governments and the Bank of England.\n\nAnd the FAI has set out a possible growth path for the Scottish economy which could see it outperform current estimates if Brexit is well-managed, business confidence returns and investment picks up.\n\nThe central forecast for the economy is slightly weaker than the last such report from the economics institute.\n\nIt predicts only 1.1% growth this year, followed by 1.4% next year and 1.5% the year after.\n\nWhile much economic attention has been focused on Brexit in recent months, the economists warn that major questions are being ignored or avoided by governments in Edinburgh and London.\n\nReflecting on the difference made by the Scottish parliament 20 years after it was first elected, Wednesday's report says the weakest part of its performance has been \"the lack of evaluation and scrutiny of the effectiveness and value of policy initiatives\".\n\nIt questions whether there has been any progress on a Whitehall initiative to find ways for governments and their agencies to work better together in the interests of the Scottish economy.\n\nIt says there should be a renewed focus on sustainable growth, after most targets set by the incoming Scottish government in 2007 have been missed.\n\nThe report says there is a need to address big structural changes coming to the economy, including demographic change, the scaling back of the oil and gas sector, automation and emerging economies around the world.\n\nNicola Sturgeon will reiterate her concerns about Brexit in a speech to the STUC annual congress in Dundee on Wednesday afternoon\n\nAt the same time, it says there should be an assumption that government budgets will remain tight, demand for the health service continues to grow, and little discussion takes place of the squeeze on public services that are not protected by having the high priority for the NHS and schools.\n\nThe report calls for stronger cross-party co-operation in the Scottish Parliament, pointing to the impasse on Brexit in Westminster as the outcome of consensus policy-making breaking down.\n\nFirst Minister Nicola Sturgeon will focus on Brexit when she speaks at the STUC conference in Dundee later, where she is expected to say nobody should pretend that the \"damage\" of Brexit can be fully mitigated,\n\nShe will also warn that Brexit, in any form, will harm living standards and risk jobs.\n\nAn extension to Article 50 was granted earlier this month, meaning the UK will not leave the EU until 31 October unless Prime Minister Theresa May can get her withdrawal deal - which has been rejected three times by MPs - agreed in Parliament before then.\n\nThe UK government has been holding talks with Labour in a bid to break the deadlock, with Mrs May saying she still wants the country to leave before 22 May to avoid European elections being held the next day.\n\nMrs May has pledged to pursue an \"orderly\" Brexit while acknowledging that \"the whole country is intensely frustrated that this process of leaving the European Union has not been completed.\"\n\nMeanwhile, the government is continuing to make plans for the UK leaving without a deal.\n\nGraeme Roy, director of the Fraser of Allander Institute, said that last week's delay in the deadline for Brexit only \"kicked the can down the road\", with little evidence so far of UK policy makers being able to agree a compromise approach. The risks to the economy therefore remain high.\n\nHe added: \"Brexit should not be the only focus of attention. One consequence of the Brexit debate is that it has left little room for discussion of the emerging structural challenges and opportunities our economy is facing.\"\n\nJohn Macintosh, tax partner at Deloitte, the accountancy firm that sponsors the regular Allander economic commentary, said the latest report underlined strong employment figures, but there is a pressing need to encourage investment and to improve productivity\".\n\nHe called on business to \"think differently, adopting a more ambitious and medium-term outlook by investing in innovative and collaborative strategies as well as talent\".", "Last updated on .From the section European Football\n\nManchester United's Champions League run ended in the quarter-finals as Lionel Messi inspired Barcelona to a crushing victory in the second leg at the Nou Camp.\n\nUnited, trailing 1-0 from the first leg, started brightly but were then undone by brilliance from Messi and a glaring mistake from goalkeeper David de Gea.\n\nMessi put the hosts ahead with a fine curling effort from 20 yards in the 16th minute and four minutes later De Gea let a weaker shot from the edge of the area squirm under his body for the Argentine's second.\n\nPhilippe Coutinho added a third for Barca in the 61st minute, curling a stunning effort into the top corner from distance.\n\nUnited hit the bar inside the first 40 seconds through Marcus Rashford but were dominated after going behind.\n\nAlexis Sanchez's diving header, which was spectacularly saved by Barca goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen in the 90th minute, was as close as the visitors came in the second half.\n\nIt was a sobering night for United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the ground where he scored his most famous goal, the stoppage-time winner in the 1999 Champions League final.\n\nBarca now meet either Liverpool or Porto in the semi-final, with the Reds taking a 2-0 lead into Wednesday's second leg.\n• None We must aspire to reach Barca's level - Solskjaer\n\nUnited were always facing a difficult task as they attempted to overturn a first-leg deficit for the second round in a row.\n\nJust like in the last 16, when they stunned Paris St-Germain at the Parc de Princes, United started the game fast, looked dangerous on the counter-attack and had opportunities - a poor touch from Scott McTominay in the area saw a chance wasted shortly after Rashford's first-minute effort.\n\nThat start raised hope of an improbable comeback but Barcelona soon took charge and were awarded a penalty in the 11th minute for Fred's clumsy challenge on Ivan Rakitic in the area only for the decision to overturned after the referee consulted VAR.\n\nUnited survived that scare but their hopes were effectively ended when they allowed Messi to score twice in four first-half minutes.\n\nThe Argentine dazzled for his first goal with a nutmeg of United midfielder Fred and a perfect finish into the bottom corner, but Ashley Young gave the ball away in the left-back position and the visitors' defence backed off rather than attempt to stop the shot.\n\nThen De Gea, so often United's star player, made a huge mistake by allowing Messi's tame shot from 20 yards to slip under his body and in.\n\nUnlike in the first leg, Barcelona looked as though they could could cut their opponents open at will.\n\nMessi was at the centre of that attacking threat with Jordi Alba also marauding forward from left-back and the Barcelona midfield outplaying their United counterparts, both in terms of their control of the ball and pressing to win it back.\n\nNo United player made any real impact on a match that proved how great a rebuild is required under Solskjaer if they are to compete with the European elite.\n\nIt's Messi again for Barcelona\n\nAfter a quiet first leg it was no surprise to see Messi take control in the second.\n\nThe 31-year-old often stood still in the United half but would burst into life with devastating effect.\n\nMessi's double took his goals tally to 45 in 42 games this term and made him the outright top scorer in this season's Champions League.\n\nIt was yet more success for the Argentine at United's expense, having also scored against them in both the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals.\n\nThe home fans chanted Messi's name again and again during the game, but his performance was not just about his goals.\n\nHe amazed the jubilant fans in first-half stoppage time when turning Phil Jones on the halfway line, driving towards the area, and beating Jones twice more before feeding Alba down the left. Alba then crossed for Sergi Roberto but De Gea blocked the Spaniard's close-range shot on the goal line.\n\nIn such sublime form, Messi looks intent on leading his side to a first Champions League title since 2015.\n\nAnd the celebratory mood at the Nou Camp was summed up in the second half when the Barcelona supporters loudly cheered news of Ajax's winning goal against Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus in the night's other quarter-final second leg.\n\n'They were a couple of levels above' - manager reaction\n\nManchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on BT Sport: \"I have to say Lionel Messi is top quality and he was the difference of course.

Mr Burgon was questioned about the comments last year\n\nShadow cabinet member Richard Burgon has said he regrets having said Zionism is the \"enemy of peace\".\n\nThe Labour MP denied making the remark in a BBC interview last year, but he has now admitted doing so after footage emerged of him saying it.\n\nThe Labour Friends of Israel group had accused him of \"seemingly misleading the public\".\n\nMr Burgon said he would not use the \"simplistic language\" again today.\n\nThe shadow justice secretary, an ally of Jeremy Corbyn, was asked about the comments in a BBC interview in March 2018, following newspaper reports in 2016 that he had made them.\n\nZionism refers to the movement to create, and protect, a Jewish state in the Middle East, roughly corresponding to the historical land of Israel.\n\nWhen asked on the BBC's Daily Politics show whether he had said Zionism was the enemy of peace, he replied: \"No and it's not my view\".\n\n\"I didn't make those comments, I asked when I was meant to have made those comments. No one could tell me and it's not my view\", he said at the time.\n\n\"So if it's not my view, I wouldn't have made those comments\", he added.\n\nHowever a new video shows Mr Burgon saying: \"The enemy of the Palestinian people is not the Jewish people. The enemy of the Palestinian people are Zionists, and Zionism is the enemy of peace and the enemy of the Palestinian people.\"\n\nIn a statement, Mr Burgon said he did not \"recall\" making the remark when asked about the 2016 newspaper reports, and had asked for details of the quote.\n\n\"I received no reply, so I believed it was inaccurate to have claimed that I had used that phrase. It is now clear that I did and I regret doing so\", he said.\n\n\"As I have subsequently said on numerous occasions when asked about this, I do not agree with that phrase\", he added.\n\n\"The terminology has different meanings to different people and the simplistic language used does not reflect how I now think about this complex issue and I would not use it again today\".\n\nJournalist Iggy Ostanin, who released the video, said the footage was from 2014 - before Mr Burgon was elected as MP for Leeds East at the 2015 general election.\n\nMr Burgon said he had been criticising the \"aggressive expansionist policies\" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\nIn the video, Mr Burgon also called for MPs who are members of Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) to resign from the group \"in support of the Palestinian people\".\n\nLFI Director Jennifer Gerber said: \"For nearly two years, Richard Burgon has deployed half-denials and weasel words to escape responsibility for his appalling suggestion that Zionism is the enemy of peace.\"\n\n\"Now that we've all seen exactly what he said, it's time for Mr Burgon to apologise both for this slur on the Jewish people's right to self-determination and for seemingly misleading the public about it\".\n\n\"Somebody who aspires to be one of the country's leading legal figures simply cannot behave in this fashion.\"\n\nAmanda Bowman, Vice-President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said Mr Burgon \"should apologise for his comments and for his denial of them\".\n\n\"Richard Burgon's denial and the subsequent revelation of his 2014 incitement against Zionists encapsulate the total sham of Labour's approach to anti-Semitism\", she added.", "The judge was told he would have to sit as a juror\n\nA senior judge has revealed he was excused from jury service, because he was due to preside over the case in question.\n\nKeith Cutler, the resident judge of Winchester and Salisbury, said he was surprised when he got the call up.\n\nBut his reason for not doing his duty was initially rejected when he contacted the Jury Central Summoning Bureau directly to explain.\n\nJudge Cutler said the bureau realised its mistake when he called them back.\n\nThe judge, who served as the coroner for the inquest of Mark Duggan, said he would have happily served as a juror if it had been appropriate.\n\nHe told a jury: \"I was selected for jury service here at Salisbury Crown Court for a trial starting 23 April.\n\n\"I told the Jury Central Summoning Bureau that I thought I would be inappropriate seeing I happened to be the judge and knew all the papers.\n\n\"They wrote back to me, they picked up on the fact I was the judge but said 'your appeal for refusal has been rejected but you could apply to the resident judge' but I told them 'I am the resident judge'.\n\n\"I had to phone them up and they realised it was a mistake.\"\n\nThe judge added: \"I would have liked to have done the jury service to see what it was like and whether I would have liked the judge.\"\n\nA guide to jury summons issued by the Ministry of Justice states: \"The normal expectation is that everyone summoned for jury service will serve at the time for which they are summoned.\n\n\"However, it is recognised that there will be occasions when it is not reasonable for a person to serve at the time for which they are summoned.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "People keep making new brain cells throughout their lives (well at least until the age of 97), according to a study on human brains.\n\nThe idea has been fiercely debated, and it used to be thought we were born with all the brain cells we will ever have.\n\nThe researchers at the University of Madrid also showed that the number of new brain cells tailed off with age.\n\nAnd it falls dramatically in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease - giving new ideas for treating the dementia.\n\nMost of our neurons - brain cells that send electrical signals - are indeed in place by the time we are born.\n\nStudies on other mammals have found new brains cells forming later in life, but the extent of \"neurogenesis\" in the human brain is still a source of debate.\n\nThe study, published in Nature Medicine, looked at the brains of 58 deceased people who were aged between 43 and 97.\n\nThe focus was on the hippocampus - a part of the brain involved in memory and emotion. It is the part of the brain that you need, to remember where you parked the car.\n\nNeurons do not emerge in the brain fully formed, but have to go through a process of growing and maturing.\n\nThe researchers were able to spot immature or \"new\" neurons in the brains that they examined.\n\nImmature (red) and mature (blue) neurons in the hippocampus in a 68 year-old.\n\nIn healthy brains there was a \"slight decrease\" in the amount of this neurogenesis with age.\n\nResearcher Dr Maria Llorens-Martin told BBC News: \"I believe we would be generating new neurons as long as we need to learn new things.\n\n\"And that occurs during every single second of our life.\"\n\nBut there was a different story in the brains from Alzheimer's patients.\n\nThe number of new neurons forming fell from 30,000 per millimetre to 20,000 per millimetre in people at the beginning of Alzheimer's.\n\nDr Llorens-Martin said: \"That's a 30% reduction in the very first stage of the disease.\n\n\"It's very surprising for us, it's even before the accumulation of amyloid beta [a hallmark of Alzheimer's] and probably before symptoms, it's very early.\"\n\nAlzheimer's disease remains untreatable, but the main focus of research has been targeting clumps of amyloid beta in the brain.\n\nHowever, even last week more trials using this approach have failed and the latest study suggests there may be something happening even earlier in the course of the disease.\n\nDr Llorens-Martin says understanding why there is a decrease in neurogenesis could lead to new treatments in both Alzheimer's and normal ageing.\n\nBut she says the next stage of research will probably require looking in the brains of people while they are still alive, to see what is happening over time.\n\nDr Rosa Sancho, the head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: \"While we start losing nerve cells in early adulthood, this research shows that we can continue to produce new ones even into our 90s.\n\n\"Alzheimer's radically accelerates the rate at which we lose nerve cells and this research provides convincing evidence that it also limits the creation of new nerve cells.\n\n\"Larger studies will need to confirm these findings and explore whether they could pave the way for an early test to flag those most at risk of the disease.\"", "An age-check scheme designed to stop under-18s viewing pornographic websites will come into force on 15 July.\n\nFrom that date, affected sites will have to verify the age of UK visitors.\n\nIf they fail to comply they will face being blocked by internet service providers.\n\nBut critics say teens may find it relatively easy to bypass the restriction or could simply turn to porn-hosting platforms not covered by the law.\n\nTwitter, Reddit and image-sharing community Imgur, for example, will not be required to administer the scheme because they fall under an exception where more than a third of a site or app's content must be pornographic to qualify.\n\nLikewise, any platform that hosts pornography but does not do so on a commercial basis - meaning it does not charge a fee or make money from adverts or other activity - will not be affected.\n\nFurthermore, it will remain legal to use virtual private networks (VPNs), which can make it seem like a UK-based computer is located elsewhere, to evade the age checks.\n\nThe authorities have, however, acknowledged that age-verification is \"not a silver bullet\" solution, but rather a means to make it less likely that children stumble across unsuitable material online.\n\n\"The introduction of mandatory age-verification is a world-first, and we've taken the time to balance privacy concerns with the need to protect children from inappropriate content,\" said the Minister for Digital Margot James.\n\n\"We want the UK to be the safest place in the world to be online, and these new laws will help us achieve this.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Past moves to police pornography in the UK\n\nIt had originally been proposed that pornographic services that refused to carry out age checks could be fined up to £250,000. However, this power will not be enforced because ministers believe the threat to block defiant sites will be sufficient and that trying to chase overseas-based entities for payment would have been difficult.\n\nHowever, the government has said that other measures could follow.\n\n\"We know that pornography is available on some social media platforms and we expect those platforms to do a lot more to create a safer environment for children,\" a spokesman for the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) told the BBC.\n\n\"If we do not see action then we do not rule out legislating in the future to force companies to take responsibility for protecting vulnerable users from the potentially harmful content that they host.\"\n\nThe age checks were originally proposed by the now defunct regulator Atvod in 2014 and were enacted into law as part of the the Digital Economy Act 2017. But their rollout had been repeatedly delayed.\n\nUK-hosted pornographic video services already have to verify visitors' ages, as do online gambling platforms.\n\nThe British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) - which gives movies their UK age certificates - will be responsible for regulating the effort. It will instruct internet providers which sites and apps to block for non-compliance. In addition, it can call on payment service providers to pull support, and ask search engines and advertisers to shun an offending business.\n\nThe pornographic platforms themselves will have freedom to choose how to verify UK visitors' ages.\n\nBut the BBFC has said that it will award solutions that adopt \"robust\" data-protection standards with a certificate, allowing them to display a green AV (age verification) symbol on their marketing materials to help consumers make an informed choice.\n\nOne digital rights campaign group questioned the sense of this scheme being voluntary.\n\n\"Having some age verification that is good and other systems that are bad is unfair and a scammer's paradise - of the government's own making,\" said Jim Killock from the Open Rights Group.\n\n\"Data leaks could be disastrous. And they will be the government's own fault.\"\n\nMindgeek, one of the adult industry's biggest players, has developed an online system of its own called AgeID, which it hopes will be widely adopted. It involves adults having to upload scans of their passports or driving licences, which are then verified by a third-party.\n\nIt has said that all the information will be encrypted and that the AgeID system will not keep track of how each users' accounts are used.\n\nMindgeek intends to launch its AgeID system soon in the UK\n\nHigh street stores and newsagents will also sell separate age-verification cards to adults after carrying out face-to-face checks, according to the government.\n\nDubbed \"porn passes\" by the media, the idea is that users would type in a code imprinted on the cards into pornographic websites to gain access to their content.\n\nThe BBFC has said it will also create an online form for members of the public to flag non-compliant sites once the new regulations come into effect.\n\n\"We want to make sure that when these new rules are implemented they are as effective as possible,\" commented the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).\n\n\"To accomplish this, it is crucial the rules keep pace with the different ways that children are exposed to porn online.\"\n\nThe age checks form part of a wider effort by the UK's authorities to make the internet safer to use for young people.\n\nMost recently, DCMS proposed the creation of a new regulator to tackle apps that contain content promoting self-harm and suicide, among other problems.\n\nIn addition, the Information Commissioner's Office has proposed services stop using tools that encourage under-18s to share more personal data about themselves than they would do otherwise.\n\nThe idea of the government keeping a database of verified porn viewers had sounded like a privacy and ethical nightmare.\n\nLuckily it has dodged that bullet. While ministers have ordered porn sites to age-verify users, they have not told them how they must do so.\n\nThat means different sites will have different systems\n\nThose \"porn passes\" that your friendly local newsagent may soon dish out are a theoretical solution, but there is no obligation for any porn site to accept them.\n\nSo, you may potentially have to verify yourself several times for several porn sites.\n\nDespite the introduction of a new kitemark-like badge to identify cyber-security conscious systems, there's still a concern that some will suffer data breaches causing people's adult interests to be exposed.", "The US Department of Justice called it \"the largest foreign bribery case in history\".\n\nAfter Brazilian multinational Odebrecht admitted guilt in a cash-for-contracts corruption scandal in 12 nations, it vowed to change its ways.\n\nBut Brazil's authorities are still wrestling with an encrypted computer system used to run the firm's illicit payment system.\n\nThe federal police building in Curitiba, in the southern state of Parana, has hardly been out of the news. In June 2015, the now-convicted former chief executive, Marcelo Odebrecht, was brought here.\n\nMore recently, the HQ received former president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, jailed for corruption on charges related to the wider Lava Jato (Car Wash) investigation based here.\n\nAlong one of the airy, tiled corridors, opposite a regular computer laboratory, there is a sealed room with a complex entry mechanism. It is insulated with concrete, like a bunker.\n\n\"This room is totally isolated from external communication - internet, phones. And entrance is restricted. Even me, as the manager, I'm not allowed to enter,\" says Fabio Salvador, the technical supervisor.\n\nInside, eight specialised police officers and a technical assistant from Odebrecht have worked since September to crack one of the company's computer systems, Mywebday.\n\nIn the case brought by the US Department of Justice, with Brazil and Switzerland in December 2016, Odebrecht and its petrochemical subsidiary, Braskem, admitted bribery to the tune of $788m (£553m) and agreed a record-breaking fine of at least $3.5bn.\n\nThe construction giant paid off politicians, political parties, officials of state-owned enterprises, lawyers, bankers and fixers to secure lucrative contracts in Brazil and abroad.\n\nMarcelo Odebrecht is serving out his jail term at home\n\nApart from being the largest international bribery case ever, the Odebrecht story has one component that makes it exceptional: this was a corporation that created a bespoke department to manage its crooked deals - something prosecutors in Brazil and the US had never seen before.\n\n\"In the Odebrecht case, there are many reasons for you to become speechless,\" says Deltan Dallagnol, lead prosecutor in Curitiba.\n\n\"How a company created a whole system only to pay bribes, and how many public agents were involved. This case implicated almost one-third of Brazil's senators and almost half of all Brazil's governors.\n\n\"One sole company paid bribes in favour of 415 politicians and 26 political parties in Brazil. It makes the Watergate scandal look like a couple of kids playing in a sandbox.\"\n\nAnd the web of corruption had tentacles reaching to Africa and across the region.\n\nThe president of Peru was forced to resign last month in allegations related to Odebrecht. The vice-president of Ecuador is in prison.\n\nPoliticians and officials from 10 Latin American nations continue to fall under the Odebrecht bus.\n\nOdebrecht was not the original focus of prosecutors in Curitiba. Lava Jato, the corruption case that's enveloped Brazil - putting some of the rich and powerful, including ex-president Lula, behind bars - began in 2014 as a money-laundering investigation.\n\nOther countries across Latin America have their own investigations into Odebrecht\n\nFocus shifted to Petrobras, Brazil's state oil company, where top managers were appointed by political parties in power. Investigators uncovered evidence that a \"cartel\" of engineering corporations - including Odebrecht - was rigging bids and paying bribes to secure contracts at inflated prices.\n\nPetrobras had become a colossal piggy bank for its executives, politicians and political parties to raid. It's estimated more than $2bn was paid in kickbacks, while Petrobras lost about $14bn through over-pricing while the scheme existed.\n\nSo in 2014, prosecutors began to investigate the most influential member of that cartel, Odebrecht.\n\nThe company's bribery department, known by the rather prosaic name of Division of Structured Operations, managed its own shadow budget.\n\nIn plea-bargain testimony, Marcelo Odebrecht told prosecutors that everyone at the top of the company knew that 0.5% to 2% of the corporation's income was moved off-the-books.\n\n\"We're talking about a company that billed 100bn reais a year. If we're talking about 2%, that's about 2bn reais,\" he said.\n\nIn other words, up to about $600m was committed to undeclared payments. Structured Operations paid bribes through a complex and often multi-layered network of shell companies and offshore finance.\n\nIn Brazil, cash was delivered by doleiros - black market dealers. Or by \"mules\", who travelled with shrink-wrapped bricks of banknotes concealed beneath their clothing. Brazilian politicians were usually paid in cash. Others had secret bank accounts.\n\nThis was organised crime - highly organised crime. All financial activity was systematised using two parallel, bespoke computer systems.\n\nOperation Car Wash is fighting corruption in Brazil, the slogan says\n\nThe first allowed internal communication within Odebrecht and also with outside financial operators. The second - the one the Federal Police in Curitiba still cannot access completely - was used to make and process payment requests.\n\nBut none of this was known to the authorities in the early stages of the investigation. A breakthrough would seal the fate of the well-oiled sleaze machine at Odebrecht.\n\nBy 2015, there was enough evidence against the company to arrest the unco-operative chief executive, Marcelo Odebrecht. In early 2016, the Federal Police gained access to the Hotmail account of one of the Structured Operations executives.\n\nThey found emails related to financial transactions and a spreadsheet created by a secretary in the division, Maria Lucia Tavares. Her home was raided.\n\nStashed in a wardrobe were printouts from the Mywebday system itemising illicit payments. Tavares had made hard copies for her boss to look at, and then hidden them as the noose tightened at Odebrecht. Within the division, she was responsible for making payments.\n\n\"I didn't know who the recipients were. We used codenames, but I was never told who those people actually were, and I was never curious to find out,\" Tavares told prosecutors.\n\nSo Tavares was never interested in knowing the identities of Dracula, Sauerkraut and Viagra.\n\nMany of the politicians and officials given a nickname have been identified. But not all of them, says the police chief of Parana, Mauricio Valeixo.\n\n\"We're hoping to identify those we don't know. And for others we have to get more information, because, for example, it's not enough just to have a nickname,\" he says. \"We have to understand the reason why somebody might've been given $200,000.\"\n\nThe police chief is anticipating more arrests in the Odebrecht case, especially once technicians have cracked Mywebday.

A startled Woods hopped forward a few paces but there appeared to be no serious damage done.\n\nIn fact, Woods knocked in the birdie putt and then holed a 25-footer on the par-five 15th to get to six under.\n\nThe roars that greeted them were reminiscent of Woods at his prime, echoing up from the bottom end of the course.\n\nThe thousands that had followed him round every inch of the Augusta National clamoured for birdies on 17 and 18.

He was head of military intelligence during the conflict and atrocities in Darfur, for which he was put on a US list for targeted financial sanctions.\n\nThere was no mention of the involvement of civilians in the two-year transition\n\nHe was defence minister and after President Bashir declared a state of emergency on 22 February, Gen Ibn Auf was also promoted to serve as vice-president, with the implication that he would step into the president's shoes when the his constitutional term expired in April 2020.\n\nThe trigger for the removal of Mr Bashir was a five-day round-the-clock peaceful protest in which tens of thousands of people surrounded the army headquarters in Khartoum, demanding that the president step down.\n\nBut what happened next was determined by hard bargaining within those buildings, among the military oligarchs who sat just beneath the president in the security hierarchy.\n\nDuring the course of Thursday, there was a protracted silence from the military headquarters while Gen Ibn Auf, the senior commanders of the Sudan Armed Forces and other key security figures such as Gen Salah Abdalla Gosh, head of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS), haggled over the political dispensation that would follow Mr Bashir's removal.\n\nWhen Gen Ibn Auf finally addressed the nation, he announced the removal of President Bashir, the abolition of the constitution, the formation of a transitional military council, a state of emergency and a two-year transition. But he did not invite opposition representatives into government. In fact, he did not even offer to talk to them.\n\nThe details of the pact among the security cabal are not public. But the outline is clear.\n\nFirst, the army, NISS and the paramilitary leaders (such as Mohamed Hamdan \"Hemeti\", commander of the Rapid Support Forces) want to share power among themselves.\n\nThey want to avoid a repeat of clashes that occurred earlier in the week, when army units fired on NISS militiamen who were trying to disperse the crowd of protesters by force, let alone an internecine war on the streets of the capital.\n\nSecond, the cabal is aligned with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, Qatar and Turkey have lost out.\n\nThe new leadership dissolved the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and reportedly arrested many veteran Muslim Brothers.\n\nPresident Omar al-Bashir (centre) came to power after a coup in 1989\n\nThey are busy telling Western countries that the Islamists had planned a coup, which needed to be forestalled by the army takeover, and that the protesters demanding democracy are also Muslim Brothers in disguise. It's not a very convincing story, but it points to future tensions because the Islamists still have a strong following in Sudan.\n\nThird, the coup leaders will protect the ousted president, even while they blame him publicly for the country's ills.\n\nThe official announcement spoke of him being kept in a \"safe place\". They will not hand him over to the International Criminal Court, where he is wanted for crimes in relation to the Darfur conflict. Partly this is because they are no less responsible than Mr Bashir for the atrocities in Darfur and elsewhere.\n\nYou may also be interested in:\n\nIt is also because that they know that one of his biggest assets was his reputation for loyalty to the officer corps, and they hope that some of that legacy will rub off on them.

Or not.\n\nAssange has been charged with a single count of participating in the hacking of intelligence computers with Chelsea Manning to reveal controversial intelligence operations in the United States.\n\nFor many, Assange is a journalist, a whistleblower, a hero. Yet for others in Washington, he is the man who embarrassed the establishment in Congress, the intelligence community and even the media.\n\nThose powerful foes are likely to bring considerable pressure to deny Assange a platform for highlighting the operations that led to massive civilian losses and undisclosed military strikes, the very type of information disclosed in the celebrating \"Pentagon Papers\" case involving the New York Times in the Vietnam War.\n\nFor historians in both Great Britain and the United States, there should be something eerily familiar in this controversy.\n\nAlmost 300 years ago, the foundations for American protections of the free press were laid in the trial of John Peter Zenger.\n\nThe case has striking similarities to the pending prosecution of the Wikileaks founder.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London\n\nIn the case, the recently installed British governor William Cosby was the subject of an anonymous pamphlet that detailed his many abusive and corrupt practices in New York and New Jersey, from stealing Indian lands to pilfering the Treasury to rigging elections.\n\nCosby ordered four editions of the Zenger's New York Weekly Journal publicly burned and arrested Zenger. He then installed a biased judge who held Zenger's defence lawyer in contempt.\n\nDespite using every means to punish Zenger for what Cosby called \"scandalous, virulent, false and seditious reflections\", the colonial jurors balked and acquitted him.\n\nThe trial of Peter Zenger in New York in 1734 in which the printer was accused of libel\n\nIt was the defining moment for the colonies and ultimately led to far stronger protections of journalists in the United States than in Britain, as embodied in the first amendment to the US constitution declaring that \"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom... of the press.\"\n\nMuch has changed in the United States for the press, but perhaps not as much as we claim.\n\nThe Justice Department crafted the charge to evade the constitutional concerns over the prosecution - and the unresolved status of Assange.\n\nBy alleging that Assange was given a password and helped set up a cloud for Manning to share the data, the government is charging him not with the distribution of the material but actively participating in its theft.\n\nHowever, the unsealed indictment in Alexandria, Virginia, is remarkably thin on evidence that Assange played such an active role or used the password in question.\n\nSetting up a cloud for sharing information can easily be viewed as simply facilitating the anonymous disclosure from a source. Where reporters once arranged for drop spots, there are now digital equivalents for such exchanges.\n\nAssange gave a thumbs-up as he was taken to a London courthouse\n\nRather than exploring reasons and effort to reveal controversial intelligence operations, Assange could be forced to confine his defence to the more mundane charge of \"computer intrusion\".\n\nYet, the indictment is conspicuously thin on the evidence of that role. The government alleges that Manning gave \"a portion\" of a password \"to crack\" which \"was stored as a 'hash value' in a computer file that was accessible only by users with administrative-level privileges\".\n\nHowever, the government then says not that Assange arranged to crack the code but only that \"cracking the password would have allowed Manning to log onto the computers under a username that did not belong to her\".\n\nSuch a measure would have made it more difficult for investigators to identify Manning as the source of disclosures of classified information.\n\nA van supporting Manning and Assange seen in London last week.\n\nAssange is likely to face more charges once he is in the United States.\n\nA superseding indictment might encompass the role Wikileaks played in publishing emails stolen from the Democratic Party during the 2016 election campaign.\n\nSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officers for their part in the hack and alluded to Wikileaks in those indictments, although not by name.\n\nHowever, thus far, no Americans have been indicted for any alleged conspiracy with the Russians and, putting aside the narrative, Assange is so far being prosecuted for the same type of conduct as people messing with Netflix passwords.\n\nBut for now, the US only wants to show under extradition laws that there is a reasonable basis for believing that Assange committed a crime in the United States. The government also wants to avoid any criminal charge that could result in the death penalty.\n\nNevertheless, the Justice Department is likely to do what the British government failed to do with Zenger.\n\nIt will focus its charges on insular acts like sharing passwords or hacking. By doing so, the government can file a motion (what's called a motion in limine) to prevent Assange from raising his motivations or the disclosure of the secret operations.\n\nIt could be declared immaterial. The jury will not hear the type of evidence that Zenger's lawyers forced into his trial. Assange would look simply like some slightly creepy-looking Australian hacker.\n\nUS Attorney Tracey McCormick in Virginia could succeed if she keeps any counts focused on such technical and narrow acts.\n\nIt would be like reducing the whole of Macbeth to the final scene where Macduff beheads the King, and therefore revealing nothing about his motivation or history.\n\nReduced to Act V, Macduff simply looks like a blood-soaked regicidal maniac, rather than an avenging hero saving the country from a tyrannical leader.\n\nTo paraphrase Shakespeare, Wikileaks could not be vanquished until the Great Assange came to Capitol Hill.\n\nHe is now likely on his way and the trial could make the Zenger trial look like a model of transparency and accuracy.\n\nJonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University in Washington, DC.", "Will 2018's stunning summer, a weak pound and uncertainty tempt people to Wales?\n\nHolidaymakers look set to embrace staycations in Wales this year as Brexit sparks nervousness about European holidays, tourism chiefs say.\n\nThe Easter holidays were due to be the first break after Britain left the European Union, before the government delayed the initial 29 March deadline.\n\nTourism bosses say the weak pound and uncertainty could add to the 10 million annual overnight trips to Wales.\n\nThe Wales Tourism Alliance is positive there will be a \"Brexit bounce\".\n\nThe drop in the value of the pound has made foreign holidays more expensive and many operators in Wales are reporting greater interest as 2019's holiday season begins at the Easter break.\n\nAbout 90% of overnight trippers to Wales are from the UK staycation market and that could rise with a scorching summer similar to last year.\n\nPortmeirion is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Wales\n\nTenby is one of Wales' most popular seaside resort\n\n\"People are understandably nervous about going to Europe,\" said Andrew Campbell, chairman of the Wales Tourism Alliance.\n\n\"There is also a lot of uncertainty and people are holding on to their cash.\"\n\nThe alliance, which represents more than 7,000 businesses, spoke to delegates in Pembrokeshire on Friday about the \"opportunities\" for Welsh tourism because of Brexit.\n\n\"Since the decision was made to leave the EU, the tourism industry has benefited,\" said Pembrokeshire Tourism liaison manager Dennis O'Conner.\n\n\"We have received lots of international visitors because the pound is so low and more and more people are looking at staycations.\"\n\nOne holiday letting company, FBM Holidays, which has 300 properties across west Wales, is preparing for its busiest year for three years, while the 350-cottage Bluestone resort is already ahead of its 2018 summer occupancy rate with three months remaining.\n\nWales has 45 Blue Flag beaches on its 1,680 miles (2,700km) of coastline\n\nVisitors spend more than £17m a day in Wales, about £6.3bn a year\n\nThe Caravan Club in Wales, as well as across the rest of the UK, has recorded its best quarter in a decade while bookings at Mark Whitehouse's holiday park in Fishguard is up 25% for this summer.\n\n\"It has given us a small window of opportunity to introduce new customers to UK tourism,\" he said.\n\n\"The hysteria will settle down and people will start going abroad again but hopefully we will retain a proportion of them.\"\n\nThere is also a feeling in the industry that some holidaymakers are waiting to see the impact of Brexit before booking their summer break.\n\n\"People are holding their breath to see if there is going to be any impact on their income before they book their holidays,\" said Pembrokeshire Tourism chair Jane Rees-Baynes, who runs Elm Grove Country House near Tenby.\n\n\"People maybe waiting to see if they need to worry about passport queues and things like car insurance on the continent.

Lee found Jake Mulraney and, when the former Inverness CT winger's low drive was deflected from in front of goal, the Englishman was first to react to score.\n\nThe second-tier side responded superbly and a curling Chalmers free-kick looked to be heading for the net until goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal tipped it on to the face of the bar. Jamie McCart also thought he had equalised when his clever chip over Zlamal found the net, but the offside flag had already gone up.\n\nHowever, there was no way back once the Highlanders were undone from another Lee corner that found Souttar.\n\nHearts fans, who had voiced their disappointment at the half-time whistle, were now celebrating and, after Ikpeazu was brought down from Lee's fine through ball, substitute Clare ensured their joy was complete from the penalty spot.\n\nThe Tynecastle side are now only 90 minutes away from lifting the Scottish Cup for a ninth time - their first since 2012.\n\nA lot of credit should go to Hearts assistant Austin MacPhee because he spends a lot of time on set-pieces - and that's a lot of his job with Northern Ireland as well.

Players will be grouped in threesomes, with the first group set to start at 12:30 BST.\n\nWoods, trying to win his first major title since the 2008 US Open, will tee off alongside Molinari and Finau in the last threesome at 14:20 BST.\n\nThe 14-time major winner said he would get up \"around 03:45 or 04:00\" local time to prepare for his 09:20 start.\n\n\"Usually the reward for playing hard and doing all the things correctly, you get a nice little sleep-in come Sunday, but that's not the case,\" Woods said.\n\n\"We've got to get up early and get after it.

The roars were appreciative, rather than loud.\n\nThe 36-year-old Italian's previous best Masters finish was a tie for 19th back in 2012 but he has now gone 43 holes without dropping a shot, and that is champion material.\n\nHe did not make a bogey in his final 37 holes when he won The Open at Carnoustie last July. He played with Woods in the final round there but playing with Woods at Augusta, even with a two-shot start, will be a very different challenge.\n\nMolinari, who also beat Woods three times alongside Tommy Fleetwood in the 2018 Ryder Cup, said: \"I wish I only had to worry about him but there are a few more that are going to try to shoot a low round so it's going to be exciting.\n\n\"I played slightly better on Friday but mentally I was very good.\n\n\"There were two big putts on four and five to save pars and I played the back nine as well as I've played it. And then there was a good par save on 18, it was nice to keep another clean scorecard.\"\n\nWoods parred the first four holes before dropping a shot at the newly extended par-four fifth for the third day running.\n\nHowever, three birdies at the next three holes got the 14-time major winner, and the patrons, interested. The roar that greeted his next birdie at the par-five 13th echoed across the course.\n\nPatrons were still streaming down the hill on the 15th when he holed a short birdie putt, after a deft chip from the back of the green. The volume that greeted that was up a further notch.\n\nThose without seats shuffled round to the 16th green, hundreds jammed in to a tiny corner. Most can't have seen the tee shot, fewer still where it landed but the ear-splitting whoops and hollers told you it was close.\n\nThey say there is no roar like a Tiger roar at Augusta. And the one that followed his tap-in birdie at 16 reverberated around the Georgia pines. Nobody on the course could have missed that one.\n\nThis is the fifth time Woods has shot 205 or fewer after three rounds at the Masters. He won the previous four.\n\nWoods said he gave himself a talking to between the fifth green and sixth tee. \"It was simple,\" he explained. \"Just be patient and let the round build. The goal was to make sure I got to double digits and I did that.\n\n\"It's been a while since I've been in contention here, but then again the last two majors counts for something,\" said Woods, who briefly led on the final day of the 2018 Open and finished runner-up to Koepka in the 2018 US PGA Championship.\n\nFinau finished joint 10th last year despite dislocating his ankle when celebrating a hole-in-one during the par-three contest.\n\nThere were no such exuberant celebrations on Saturday, despite the 29-year-old opening his round with three successive birdies. Another birdie followed on the sixth before an eagle on the eighth took him right into the mix on nine under.\n\nHe narrowly missed a birdie putt on the ninth that was to set a new record of 29 strokes for the first nine.\n\nAnd like many, he took advantage of the two par fives on the second nine to improve his score to 11 under, on a day of hot sun, light wind and low scoring all round.\n\n'Best golf ever seen at Augusta'\n\nThe 65 players to make the cut scored a cumulative 80 under par, which is thought to be the lowest scoring on a single day at the Masters.\n\n\"There has been some amazing golf today with three 64s,\" said BBC Sport expert Ken Brown. \"We have seen some of the best golf I have ever seen at Augusta.\"\n\nAnd BBC commentator Peter Alliss added: \"They played some shots today that I can't believe. I think 'you can't reach this hole with a driver, a seven or an eight iron' but they do.\"\n\n'The oldies are doing not so bad' - Poulter\n\nPoulter, who was playing with fellow 43-year-old Woods, opened with seven pars and two birdies and holed three more on his second nine, his only bogey coming on the 11th.\n\nIt was a terrific round from Poulter considering he also had to deal with being in the bubble of a super-charged Augusta crowd who are willing Woods to break his decade-long major drought.\n\n\"It's always loud when Tiger makes birdies, but when you're in contention at the Masters you'd probably pick Tiger Woods to play alongside. He was good fun to play with,\" said Poulter.\n\n\"The oldies are doing not so bad, so I might have a 3.5% chance now,\" he added, referring to a stat he said he heard on television that players aged 43 have only a 3% chance of winning the Masters.\n\nWebb Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion, was another of the three to post a 64 - one shot off the course record jointly held by Nick Price and Greg Norman - as he moved to nine under, level with Poulter.\n\nThey will play the final round with Koepka who had four bogeys in a 69.\n\nWorld number two Dustin Johnson is among five players on eight under after a 70, while Rickie Fowler shot 68 to reach seven under.\n\nEngland's Fleetwood had a solid 70 to move to four under, alongside 2015 Masters champion Jordan Spieth who has picked up seven shots in two rounds following an opening 75.\n\nBut Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy told BBC Sport he made \"too many mistakes\" as his hopes of winning a first Masters title disappeared with a one-under 71 that left him one under par for the tournament.\n• None How to follow the Masters across the BBC\n• None Sign up to get golf news sent to your phone", "That's the plot of Trump on Show, a Cantonese opera inspired by the 45th president of the United States that opened in Hong Kong on Friday.\n\nProduced by Wei Wang, Eunice Wang and Pody Lui of BBC Chinese and Grace Tsoi", "UK teachers were awarded millions of pounds in compensation from schools last year after suffering \"appalling treatment\", a union has claimed.\n\nThe NASUWT teachers' union said its members had received £14.9m over the past 12 months as a result of attacks, injuries and discrimination at work.\n\nOne teacher received £10,000 after being racially abused more than a dozen times in 18 months, the NASUWT said.\n\nThe Department for Education said schools had a \"duty\" to protect staff.\n\nThe union also reported that a 54-year-old disabled member of teaching staff received £45,000 after being dismissed for querying the failure to put in place reasonable adjustments to enable him to do his job.\n\nHe had multiple disabilities, including a form of arthritis, hypertension, gout and diabetes, which the employer was aware of.\n\nOther cases included members experiencing assaults from pupils, discriminatory practices related to pregnancy-related and flexible-working requests, race discrimination and discrimination based on age, sexual orientation and religion or belief.\n\nA DfE spokeswoman said: \"No teacher should face discrimination or ill-treatment in the workplace.\n\n\"The majority of schools provide safe and reasonable working environments for teaching staff, and it's important that they remain as such.\"\n\nDespite winning financial compensation for many of its members, the NASUWT said it believed the recorded cases of abuse were \"only the tip of the iceberg\".\n\nIt added: \"In most cases the money awarded does not compensate for the fact that a teacher's physical or mental health may have been affected and they can no longer work in their chosen profession.\"", "The length of time passengers are being delayed on Great Britain's railways because of cable thefts has reached a five-year high, new figures suggest.\n\nThe BBC's 5 Live Investigates found there were nearly 950 hours of delays in 2018 across more than 7,000 journeys in England, Wales and Scotland.\n\nBritish Transport Police figures also show an 85% increase in live cable thefts last year.\n\nNetwork Rail says thefts cost the taxpayer millions of pounds each year.\n\nThe figures do not include delays in Northern Ireland.\n\nNetwork Rail, which owns and maintains most of Great Britain's railways, said delays doubled from 2016-17, when 400 hours were recorded across 3,000 train journeys.\n\nMore than three-quarters of the trains affected were in or around London.\n\nPolice say an increase in global copper prices is leading to more organised gangs and opportunists ripping up or cutting down cables.\n\nThieves steal cables for the copper inside them, and then sell the metal on as scrap.\n\nSupt Mark Cleland, from British Transport Police, said: \"All metal theft is primarily driven by the price of metal so, as metal rises in value, we see a trend that crime rises with it.

Mark Thomas: \"We subjected the technology to the temperature 'threat' of high speed\"\n\nUK engineers developing a novel propulsion system say their technology has passed another key milestone.\n\nThe Sabre air-breathing rocket engine is designed to drive space planes to orbit and take airliners around the world in just a few hours.\n\nTo work, it needs to manage very high temperature airflows, and the team at Reaction Engines Ltd has developed a heat-exchanger for the purpose.\n\nThis key element has just demonstrated an impressive level of performance.\n\nIt has shown the ability to handle the simulated conditions of flying at more than three times the speed of sound.\n\nIt did this by successfully quenching a 420C stream of gases in less than 1/20th of a second.\n\nArtwork: In the test set-up, the pre-cooler is fed by the exhaust gases from a military jet engine\n\nThe REL group is confident its \"pre-cooler\" technology can now go on to show the same performance in conditions that simulate flying above five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5.\n\nThat would mean rapidly dumping the energy in a 1,000-degree airflow.\n\n\"We're now able to prove many of the claims we've been making as a business, backed up by very high-quality data,\" REL's CEO Mark Thomas told BBC News.\n\n\"In this most recent experiment, we've near-instantaneously transferred 1.5 Megawatts of heat energy - the equivalent of 1,000 homes' worth of heat energy.\"\n\nThe testing was conducted at a dedicated facility at the Colorado Air and Space Port in the US.\n\nWithout the pre-cooler tech at the front, Sabre would struggle in the expected temperature regime\n\nSabre can be thought of as a cross between a jet engine and a rocket engine.\n\nAt slow speeds and at low altitude, it would behave like a jet, burning its fuel in a stream of air scooped from the atmosphere.\n\nAt high speeds and at high altitude, it would then transition to full rocket mode, combining the fuel with a small supply of oxygen the vehicle had carried aloft.\n\nThe early air-breathing approach would deliver substantial weight savings, and allow a space plane, for example, to go straight to orbit without throwing away propellant stages on the way up, as rockets do now.\n\nBut the concept brings with it an immense heat challenge.\n\nThe faster the flow of air into the engine's intake during the high-speed ascent, the higher the temperature.\n\nAnd the heat would rise still further once the flow was slowed and compressed prior to entering the combustion chambers.\n\nSuch conditions would ordinarily melt the insides of the engine.\n\nThe chilled helium flowing through the pre-cooler's piping takes away the heat\n\nSabre's pre-cooler seeks to solve this problem by efficiently, and swiftly, extracting the heat by first passing the intake gases through a tightly packed array of fine tubing. This tubing is fed with chilled helium.\n\nIn 2012, REL put the pre-cooler in front of a viper jet engine and sucked ambient air through the heat-exchanger. The gas stream immediately dropped to minus-150C.\n\nNow, the company has flipped the set-up, putting the jet engine from an old F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber in front of the pre-cooler to drive hot gases directly across the piping array.\n\nThe completed Colorado experiment replicates the thermal conditions corresponding to flight at Mach 3.3, the record-breaking speed at which the American SR-71 Blackbird spy plane used to operate. Importantly, though, the pre-cooler took out all the heat.\n\n\"This technology has wide application, not just in the immediate, obvious domain of high-speed flight but across the aerospace industry more generally, and into more commercial applications - anywhere there's a significant heat-management challenge and you're looking for ultra-lightweight, miniaturised, high-performance solutions,\" Mr Thomas said.\n\nThe Colorado tests continue. Meanwhile, back in England, REL is progressing towards a demonstration of the core part of the engine, expected to get under way next year.\n\nThis core combustion section recently passed its preliminary design review under the eye of propulsion experts at the European Space Agency. Esa has been brought in by the UK government to act as a technical auditor on the project.\n\nThe Oxfordshire company is developing Sabre with the support of BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and Boeing. All are keen to see the many years of refinement on the engine concept finally come to fruition.\n\nArtwork: There are many applications for this technology, but a reusable space plane would be one\n\nJonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos", "10,443 companies have disclosed the average difference between what they pay men and women.

That's one of the widest pay gaps reported among larger firms.\n\nThe ones closest to the middle have the smallest pay gaps, for instance Royal Mail, with a 1% pay gap.\n\nThe average pay gap reported is 9.6%, meaning that for every £1 the average man earns, the average woman takes home 90p. This means the gap has barely moved from last year, when it was 9.7%. The gender pay gap doesn't tell us if women are being paid less for the same job, something which has been illegal for decades. But it does let us size up the differences in men and women's occupations and working patterns. Women are much more likely to work part-time, and are under-represented in senior roles.\n\nTake airlines. Many have reported big pay gaps. Why? High-paid pilots are almost exclusively men, while women predominantly work as lower-paid cabin crew. Other airlines like EasyJet, TUI, Flybe and Jet2.com all have pay gaps of at least 40%.\n\nLet's look at the banks. The finance and insurance sector has one of the widest pay gaps.

He had said: \"If he goes on to the pitch and people start calling him names, have we got to do the same as it is to the racist situation?\" In a statement, Strachan acknowledged an \"imprecise use of language\". Former England international Johnson, 31, was released from prison on 22 March after serving half of a six-year term for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan. Discussing this on The Debate on Sky Sports, Strachan had said: \"Is it all right to call him names now after doing his three years - have we got to allow that to happen?\" On Sunday, Strachan apologised for his comments in a statement. It read: \"Given the response in the last 24 hours to a point made on The Debate programme on Sky Sports from over a week ago, and having reflected on it personally, it is important for me to address the issues that have arisen. \"In no way did I intended to confuse or conflate the very serious issue of racism targeted at footballers with the potential verbal abuse towards a player who has been convicted of a sexual offence. \"Having reviewed the particular segment in light of the reaction, I fully acknowledge that the imprecise use of language in my initial response has left open a perception that should easily have been avoided. For that I sincerely apologise.\" Strachan added: \"I would like to take the opportunity to atone for that: to reaffirm my condemnation of the behaviour that led to [Johnson's] conviction, to convey my heartfelt sympathy and support to the survivor, and to apologise for any unintended distress caused.\" The 62-year-old is not an employee of Sky, and was not subject to its disciplinary protocols following the broadcast. The broadcaster also apologised for Strachan's comments in a statement: \"The comments were made by a guest on The Debate.

executives of \"a sustained programme of falsehoods and denials\".\n\nHe urged them to take a lie detector test and called for an investigation and the firm's shares to be suspended.\n\nMr Ashley has offered to inject £150m into the beleaguered department store, as long as he is appointed chief executive.\n\nMr Ashley, who is Debenhams' biggest shareholder, has been embroiled in a battle for control with its board and has already made clear his disdain for its current management.\n\nHe launched the latest broadside as he waited for a response to his offer to invest.\n\nIf his bid is turned down, the company is likely to go into administration this week.\n\nSports Direct issued its strongly-worded statement late on Sunday, accusing Debenhams' board members of misrepresenting what had happened in a meeting between the two firms.\n\nSports Direct claims \"misrepresentations were made to induce Sports Direct into signing a non-disclosure agreement, locking them out of any ability to trade in the bonds or equity of Debenhams for a period of time\".\n\nSports Direct said Mr Ashley and two colleagues had already taken lie detector tests themselves, the results of which \"showed without any doubt\" that they were providing an accurate report of the meeting.\n\n\"Indeed, Mike Ashley's score for example was so significantly high as to be considered rare in comparison to others,\" the statement said.\n\nSports Direct called for Debenhams shares to be suspended while the matter is investigated.\n\nDays before a lender-imposed deadline is due to expire, Sports Direct at the weekend offered to underwrite £150m of new equity funding for the retailer, but only if Mr Ashley was appointed chief executive and £148m of debt was written off by lenders, who include banks and hedge funds.\n\nThe department store chain's financiers are considering the offer, according to City sources.\n\nSports Direct, which owns a near-30% stake in the retailer, confirmed its proposals on Monday and set out that it was still considering a £61.4m bid to take full control of Debenhams.\n\nIn a stock exchange announcement, Sports Direct said it had until 17:00 on 22 April to announce a firm offer or walk away.\n\nWhile both ideas were being considered, it would pursue only one of them in the event it was agreed, it added.\n\nOver the weekend, in a letter to Debenhams, the firm said it was \"keen to be a supportive shareholder and financier\".\n\nBut the tone of Sunday's comments makes it harder to see how the two sides can come to an agreement, making the planned administration more likely.\n\nIf that happens, stores, staff and suppliers would not see any immediate change.\n\nHowever, shareholders, including Mr Ashley, would see their stakes in the company wiped out.\n\nUnder that scenario, Debenhams is planning a restructuring of the business which would lead to the closure of about 50 stores.\n\nThe retailer will also attempt to get landlords to cut the rent on the remaining sites, in order to make them more profitable under a company voluntary arrangement.\n\nThe struggling department store, which has 165 stores and employs about 25,000 people, reported a record pre-tax loss of £491.5m last year.\n\nIf Mr Ashley's offer is accepted, he would control yet another High Street name.\n\nAs well as Sports Direct, Mr Ashley runs House of Fraser,

cancer tumour could provide huge amounts of information\n\nScientists at Glasgow University have developed a cancer testing technique that they say could transform the way we treat the disease.\n\nThe medical team based at The Glasgow Precision Oncology Laboratory are able to extract huge amounts of information from tiny fragments of DNA.\n\nThe information could identify the type of cancer tumour as well as any genetic variations and its resistance to drugs.\n\nIt could even point to a cancer patient's prognosis.\n\nIt is what is known as \"precision medicine\", because it could allow doctors to match treatments to individual patients.\n\nProf Andrew Biankin said cancers that might look similar under the microscope are different at a genetic level\n\nAndrew Biankin, regius professor of surgery at Glasgow University, said that it was all about \"getting the right treatment to the patient at the right time\".\n\nProf Biankin, an international expert in genetic research and precision oncology, said methods of measuring differences in disease have been \"relatively crude\".\n\nHe said: \"In cancer we use a microscope to look at the differences in what we see in the individual cells, that gives us a certain granularity.\n\n\"So we can group things to a certain degree but many of the treatments we use don't work in most patients.\"\n\nThe DNA from cancer tumour is broken down into fragments that can be targeted for analysis\n\nProf Biankin said the treatments might work in 20% or 30% of patients but they never know that ahead of trying them.\n\n\"We don't want to wait three months or six months to say 'oh dear it's not working, lets try something different',\" he said.\n\n\"In a disease like pancreatic cancer, six months might be the end, so we need to be able to select which treatment comes first.\"\n\nThe professor said cancers that might look similar under the microscope are different at a genetic level.\n\n\"It makes sense that if we are trying new treatments we should try to match it to the underlying genetics, or molecular pathology as it is called, of an individual's cancer,\" he said.\n\nThe test was originally developed to help understand the make-up of pancreatic cancer where fewer than three in every 100 patients will live for five years.\n\nProf Biankin and his team sequenced genes to understand which particular type of pancreatic cancer a patient had.\n\nNow the laboratory is sequencing DNA samples from all types of solid tumours to improve understanding of the disease.\n\nNot only will that help the patient but it will also allow data to be collected in a standardised way.\n\nThat will improve research and enable people to access new treatments.\n\nIn the laboratory, scientists enlist the help of a robot to sort and filter DNA samples from a patient's biopsy.\n\nIt is able to extract the 1% that is relevant to cancer.\n\nAfter that the samples are sequenced and powerful computers analyse the data.\n\nDr Susie Cook said she hoped all cancer patients would get the genomic test\n\nDr Susie Cook, the head of medical genomics at GPOL, explains that it would take a team of people days just to extract the relevant fragments of DNA.\n\nHaving a robot do the work means they can test more than 90 samples in one go.\n\nWith about 80 people diagnosed with cancer every day in Scotland she believes the potential for this test is a game-changer.\n\nDr Cook said: \"I really hope well within five years time every patient who is diagnosed with cancer will get one of these all-encompassing genomic tests.\n\n\"They'll get it early in their care pathway so it's one of the first things that happens once they are diagnosed with cancer and it will allow them to use that information and their doctors to use that information every step of the way.\"\n\nThe goal has been to develop a test readily available to all NHS patients. Genomic testing of cancer is generally a difficult and expensive option accessible to only a few.\n\nBut the university says what is different here, is that this test is comprehensive, practical and affordable - a few hundred pounds rather than in the thousands.\n\nIt is about to be piloted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde with health boards across the UK and internationally also in talks about bringing this tiny but potentially revolutionary test to a hospital near you.", "The new £17.6bn railway across London was due to open in December 2018\n\nCrossrail will be completed two years behind schedule, transport bosses have admitted.\n\nBut the completion between October 2020 and March 2021 will not include the opening of Bond Street, one of 10 new stations along the new Elizabeth Line, they said.\n\nLondon mayor Sadiq Khan described the new timetable as \"realistic and deliverable\".\n\nThe new £17.6bn railway across London was due to open last December.\n\n\"Many risks and uncertainties remain in the development and testing of the train and signalling systems,\" Crossrail Ltd said in a statement, having identified a new \"six-month delivery window\" for the project.\n\nThe line had been rescheduled to open this autumn but that had been cast into doubt after further setbacks were reported.\n\nCrossrail said Bond Street's opening had been delayed \"because of design and delivery challenges\" and would be unveiled \"at the earliest opportunity\".\n\nIts chief executive Mark Wild told the BBC's Today programme Tottenham Court Road station would be open and he hoped Bond Street station would be opened soon after the Elizabeth Line started operating.\n\n\"It's very disappointing we didn't make it in December but we've got a plan now, a clear plan, to get it opened by the end of next year.\n\n\"I think the project in the summer of last year got itself into quite a compressed state with overlapping activities.\"\n\nHe added: \"My job now is to get the railway open.\"\n\nCrossrail said it had major tasks to complete before opening the line, including creating and testing software that would integrate the train operating system with three different signalling systems.\n\nIt said it also needed to finish installing equipment in tunnels, test communications, install and test station systems and trial run the trains over many thousands of miles on the completed railway.\n• None 60 milesDistance of the line from Reading to Heathrow\n\nMr Khan said the new Crossrail leadership team had worked hard to \"establish a realistic and deliverable schedule for the opening of the project, which TfL and the Department for Transport will now review\".\n\nThe London Assembly Transport Committee has welcomed the announcement with \"cautionary relief\", its chair Caroline Pidgeon said.\n\nHowever, she also said: \"The project has been pushed back twice already, so the question has to be asked, 'Is the six-month window a hedge-betting exercise to avoid disappointing passengers once more?'\n\n\"It is also incredibly frustrating that no senior executives will accept any responsibility for the litany of failures that have led to this delay.\"\n\nThree emergency cash injections have seen the cost of the project rise from £14.8bn to £17.6bn.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Measles cases in Europe tripled between 2017 and 2018 to 82,596 -

10 times the country's rate in 2017.\n\nAnd this largely explains the sharp rise in total cases in Europe, from 25,863 in 2017 to more than 82,000 in 2018.\n\nVaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella in Ukraine fell sharply over a number of years during its conflict with Russia, reaching 31% in 2016 - among the lowest in the world.\n\nBy the end of 2017, the percentage of children in Ukraine who had been vaccinated had significantly improved, to about 90% but, the WHO says, this now needs to be sustained to protect the population from further outbreaks of measles.\n\nDr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, said: \"The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current pace of progress in raising immunisation rates will be insufficient to stop measles circulation.\n\n\"While data indicate exceptionally high immunisation coverage at regional level, they also reflect a record number affected and killed by the disease.\n\n\"This means that gaps at local level still offer an open door to the virus.\"\n\nThe WHO says the 2018 surge in measles cases followed a year when European countries achieved their highest ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccination - 90%.\n\nThe percentage of children receiving the first dose of the vaccine also increased, to 95%.\n• None Why is there a measles outbreak in Europe?

Ross McEwan says not enough time was spent on customers\n\nThe chief executive of RBS, Ross McEwan, has resigned after five and a half years in the post.\n\nMr McEwan, aged 61, said that he had \"delivered the strategy\" that he set out when taking over in 2013.\n\nUnder his leadership the bank, which is 62% government-owned, has closed hundreds of branches, but last year reported a profit of £1.62bn, more than double the profit of the previous year.\n\nHe will remain in the role until a successor has been appointed.\n\n\"It is never easy to leave somewhere like RBS. However with much of the restructuring done and the bank on a strong and profitable footing, I have delivered the strategy that I set out in 2013 and now feels like the right time for me to step aside and for a new chief executive to lead the bank,\" Mr McEwan said in statement.\n\nWhen Mr McEwan took over in 2013, RBS was loss-making and had businesses in 30 countries.\n\nHis strategy was to reduce the size of the bank by withdrawing from overseas markets. Last year, the bank had operations in 12 countries.\n\nHe also cut costs at the UK banking business, which includes NatWest, by closing branches.\n\nIn 2014, the bank employed 109,000 staff, but by the end of last year that was down to 67,100.\n\nAfter nine years of losses, RBS returned to profit in 2017 and started paying dividends again last year.\n\nShares have fallen 29% since Mr McEwan took over 1 October 2013.\n\nThe bank has struggled to improve customer service.\n\nIn February the Competition and Markets Authority published the results of its latest survey of customer satisfaction.

Natwest came 10th.\n\nSmall businesses were also surveyed and in this category RBS was second-last out of 14 banks, while NatWest came eighth.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC, Mr McEwan said customers should have received more attention: \"It would have been nicer to have spent a lot more time focusing on the customers of this bank.\n\n\"But we found ourselves in some many conduct and litigation-type issues, that we had to get through, and consumed a huge amount of my time.\"\n\nWhen he stepped up to the top job after running the retail part of RBS, Ross McEwan had instructions from the majority shareholder, the Government, to focus closer to home and to shrink its international reach.\n\nSo it is now a largely British and Irish bank, making it all the more exposed to the potential Brexit fall-out for its business customers.\n\nAt the same time, the amiable New Zealander had what he called several \"noisy\" years sorting out multi-billion pound regulatory fines and pay-outs in court cases.\n\nThere has been the controversy over mistreatment of business clients in financial distress, and political pushback against branch closures.\n\nTrying to meet European Commission requirements to shrink the bank by splitting off the Williams & Glyn division has been a time-consuming, expensive failure.\n\nAnd the share price has stuck stubbornly at around half the break-even point for the UK Government's bail-out.\n\nRoss McEwan would have preferred to have returned RBS to market disciplines rather than government ones, but the share price has hindered that sale.\n\nThrough the turmoil of returning to a sustainable profitability, he has tried to keep things simple, using his retail expertise to focus RBS on its customers. That has meant navigating an unprecedented churn in technology, with a rapid shift to apps and online banking.\n\nWith the finances back in the black, McEwan has acknowledged that turning round the reputational problems for Royal Bank of Scotland is a 10 year project for his successor to see through.\n\nWith a recent restructure of executive roles, it looks like Alison Rose, currently deputy chief executive of Natwest, has been groomed for the role, though Katie Murray may think differently, having been recently promoted to RBS chief financial officer.\n\nMr McEwan has attracted criticised for his handling of the controversy surrounding RBS's Global Restructuring Group.\n\nThe Global Restructuring Group (GRG) was marketed as an expert service that could save a business, but according to a report by the Financial Conduct Authority one in six firms transferred to the service were actually damaged by it.\n\nMost of the issues occurred before Mr McEwan took over as chief executive.\n\nHowever, Mr McEwan had to admit that he was wrong when he told MPs in 2018 that the GRG unit helped \"the vast majority of businesses it works with\".\n\nLast summer RBS agreed to settle a long-running investigation by US authorities into the mis-selling of financial products in the run up to the financial crisis of 2008.\n\nRBS agreed to pay $4.9bn (£3.6bn) - making it one of the last major banks to settle cases related to the US mortgage market.\n\nThe deal paved the way for the government to reduce its holding in RBS from more than 70% to 62%.\n\nThe bank has been majority-owned by the government since it received a £45bn bailout at the height of the financial crisis in November 2008.\n• None RBS boss: 'Not enough time spent on customers' Video, 00:01:33RBS boss: 'Not enough time spent on customers'", "Stormont has been without a devolved government since January 2017\n\nIt is understood the British and Irish governments are planning to set up fresh talks to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland.\n\nNorthern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley and Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney are likely to make an announcement on Friday.\n\nThe plan would see new talks taking place after the council elections in Northern Ireland on 2 May.\n\nIt follows the murder of journalist Lyra McKee in Londonderry last week.\n\nMs McKee, 29, was shot last Thursday while observing rioting in Derry, and hundreds of mourners attended her funeral on Wednesday.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May, President of Ireland Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar and other politicians were among the congregation at St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.\n\nSecretary of State Karen Bradley had already said she planned to hold talks about Stormont after the local government elections next Thursday.\n\nBut several parties wrote urging her to convene discussions urgently in the wake of the murder of journalist Lyra McKee.\n\nIt is understood there were intensive discussions in Belfast after Wednesday's funeral which was attended by leading politicians from Northern Ireland, the Republic and Westminster.\n\nThe Secretary of State and the Tánaiste are expected to make an announcement in Belfast on Friday afternoon.\n\nBut convening talks is one thing.\n\nConcluding them successfully with many outstanding issues between the DUP and Sinn Féin, not to mention, Brexit is another.\n\nPriest Fr Martin Magill received a standing ovation when he asked why it had taken her death to unite political parties.\n\nMs McKee's murder has prompted calls for Stormont's politicians to resolve their differences, as Northern Ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since January 2017.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"Why in God's name does it take the death of a 29-year-old woman with her whole life in front of her to get to this point?\"\n\nMrs Bradley had previously said she intends to hold discussions with Stormont's party leaders this week in a bid to restore power-sharing.\n\nA Northern Ireland Office spokesperson said the secretary of state's \"priority remains restoring devolution at the earliest opportunity\".\n\nDUP leader Arlene Foster, who held talks with Mrs Bradley and Mr Coveney on Wednesday, said she wanted to see the government \"take steps\" to ensure talks commence.\n\nShe added that the DUP wanted to see the Northern Ireland Assembly restored immediately, alongside a time-limited process dealing with outstanding issues.\n\nThe DUP suggested this as a way of breaking the deadlock back in September 2017, but at the time it was rejected by Sinn Féin.\n\nSinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said her party was \"ready to play our full part in a serious and meaningful talks process which removes obstacles to power-sharing, delivers rights and restores the assembly\".\n\n\"Sinn Féin wants to see the full restoration of the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement,\" she added.", "It is hoped that used coffee grounds could replace the use of palm oil in many household products\n\nTwo Scottish entrepreneurs are aiming to go global with their hope to replace palm oil using coffee waste.\n\nScott Kennedy and Fergus Moore said they came up with a unique way to extract oil from used coffee grounds which had a wide range of uses.\n\nPalm oil is found in many household products, but environmentalists say demand for it is devastating rainforests in Asia.\n\nManufacturers are now under pressure to find an alternative.\n\nMr Kennedy and Mr Moore came up with their idea while working in coffee shops during their time studying business at Glasgow's Strathclyde university, and saw first-hand the amount of food waste in the hospitality industry.\n\nMr Moore told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: \"About 60% of a cafe's waste is about coffee grounds.\n\n\"In Scotland, that amounts to about 40,000 tonnes a year -

Hotel security did nothing.\"\n\nOn Wednesday, at a media preview event for Sunday's London Marathon, Farah said that he had money, a watch and two phones taken from his room on 23 March.\n\nHe added that he was \"disappointed\" that Gebrselassie \"couldn't do nothing\" to help retrieve his items.\n\nGebrselassie, 46, responded in a statement on Wednesday, accusing Farah of \"blackmail\" and \"defaming\" his reputation and business.\n\nThe two-time Olympic 10,000m champion said the alleged theft was reported and that five of the hotel's employees were investigated but released without charge after three weeks in custody, adding that police \"found nothing on the reported robbery case\".\n\nGebrselassie also claimed that hotel staff reported \"disgraceful conduct\" by Farah and his entourage and that he was reported to the police for \"attacking a married athlete in the gym\".\n\nHe said a criminal charge was dropped because of his own mediation role.\n\nOn Thursday, Gebrselassie told The Guardian that Farah had confronted the man.\n\n\"Farah said to him: 'Why are you following me?' But the guy said he wasn't - and that he was just doing his work,\" said Gebrselassie.\n\n\"Immediately Farah punched them and kicked them by foot. Especially the husband. There were lots of witnesses.\"\n\nHowever, Ethiopian Sisay Tsegaye said that he and his wife were involved in the altercation with Farah but that the Briton did not hit his wife and they had now \"found peace\".\n\n\"I think Mo was thinking I was using his training regime to train other people. But in fact we were using videos downloaded from YouTube.\n\n\"When a brawl erupted, Mo kicked me around my neck. It was a minor hit. This caused disturbance inside the gym. Police came to the scene but it was resolved with mediation. But he never touched my wife.\n\n\"Now I'm on good terms with Mo. We have found peace four days after this incident.\"\n\nGebrselassie, who won four world titles, also said Farah was given a 50% discount on his hotel rates, but left without paying his service bill of 81,000 Ethiopian Birr (£2,170).\n\nIn response to Gebrselassie's claims on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Farah said: \"Mo is disappointed with this statement and the continued reluctance by the hotel and its owner to take responsibility for this robbery.\n\n\"Mo disputes all of these claims, which are an effort to distract from the situation, where members of his hotel staff used a room key and stole money and items from Mo Farah's room (there was no safe as it was faulty, and Mo requested a new one).\n\n\"Police reports confirm the incident and the hotel admitted responsibility and were in contact with Mo's legal advisor.\n\n\"The hotel even offered to pay Mo the amount stolen, only to withdraw the offer when he prematurely left the hotel and moved to other accommodation due to security concerns.\n\n\"Despite many attempts to discuss this issue privately with Mr Gebrselassie, he did not respond but now that he has, we would welcome him or his legal team getting in touch so that this matter can be resolved.\"\n\nGebrselassie claimed on Thursday he had previously refused Aden entry to the hotel, leading to a dispute with Farah.\n\nAden, the former coach of 2015 world 1500m champion Genzebe Dibaba, was arrested after police raided his hotel room in Sabadell, north of Barcelona in June 2016. The investigation is ongoing.\n\n\"His grudge against me started when I denied access to Jama Aden to the hotel and forbidden access,\" Gebrselassie told the Telegraph.\n\n\"I was head of the Ethiopian Athletics Federation at the time. He was angry with me at the time and looking for ways to revenge for that.\"\n\nGebrselassie was Ethiopian Athletics Federation president between November 2016 and November 2018.\n\nIn 2016, British Athletics said Aden had been \"unofficial facilitator\" for Farah when he trained in Ethiopia for a week in 2015 and had only called out lap times for the Briton.\n\n\"To be clear Jama Aden has never trained Mo and this allegation along with many of the others levied by Haile Gerbreselassie and his hotel employees today have no basis and are not true,\" said a spokesperson for Farah on Thursday.\n\nFormer 1500m world champion and BBC commentator Steve Cram said it is \"an unseemly spat\" between Farah and Gebrselassie but that it would not affect the Briton in his bid to win the London Marathon on Sunday.\n\n\"Mo had something he really wanted to get off his chest,\" said Cram.\n\n\"He knew he had an audience and decided it was the right time to say what he said about what had happened in Ethiopia.\n\n\"It might not have been the best timing but he felt it was the platform to do it.\"\n\nCram said he was hopeful that the \"two great champions\" could \"settle their differences in whatever way and the thing doesn't escalate\".\n\n\"Inevitably for the media it's a great story,\" he added.\n\n\"It is a distraction from the weekend - we're all getting excited about Mo versus Eliud Kipchoge - another great champion, so I hope by Sunday that's what we'll concentrate on.\"", "The Competition and Markets Authority has blocked the proposed merger between Sainsbury's and Asda, warning it would leave consumers worse off.\n\nStuart McIntosh, who led the CMA's investigation, told the BBC that promises of price reductions after the deal \"were unlikely to have been realised\".", "A humpback whale was entangled in rope for \"weeks, if not months\" before it drowned off the coast of East Lothian, a post-mortem examination has found.\n\nThe young male, which was about nine metres long (30ft), was found at John Muir Country Park, near Tyningham.\n\nExperts said the marine mammal had become very weak and had the most parasites they had ever seen.\n\nThe whale was towed out to sea and moved to another beach for the five-hour necropsy on Wednesday.\n\nDr Andrew Brownlow, veterinary pathologist for the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme, told the BBC Scotland news website he had found nothing in the whale's stomach.\n\nHe said: \"This was an entanglement case and from the tissue lesions it had been like this for weeks, if not months.\n\n\"It stops the animal from being able to feed properly or exhibit normal behaviour, which weakens the animal and then it drowns.\n\n\"It's a real eye opener for us on the effect we can have on animals.\"\n\nHe added: \"Its lesions were very chronic and its parasite burden was the most I have ever seen in an animal of this size.\n\n\"It had become weak because it could not feed which, in turn, meant its immune system weakened, which meant its parasite burden increased.\n\n\"So the poor animal was fighting the ropes and a heavy burden of parasites.\"\n\nHe said he was pleased at least to find no plastic in the whale's stomach.\n\nDr Brownlow said fishermen's ropes were often longer than the distance from the surface of the sea to the bottom so they formed coils, which was a trap for anything that swam through it.\n\nHe added: \"In evolutionary terms a whale has learned to spin around to avoid an attachment but this strategy is the worst thing it could do when it's entangled as it makes the situation worse.\n\n\"It then has caught something else on the ropes around it which has made it a higher weight and it's actually drowned. It was pretty horrific.\"\n\nHumpback whales breed in warmer waters in the Azores before moving to more northern waters to take advantage of the food stocks during the summer months.\n\nEast Lothian Council has now removed the whale for incineration.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The suspect is a resident of Tenerife\n\nA little German boy's testimony led Spanish police to the bodies of his mother and 10-year-old brother in a cave on the island of Tenerife.\n\nPolice arrested the German father, suspected of killing the two victims.\n\nLocals alerted police after finding the distressed five-year-old boy wandering in the mountains near Adeje, muddy and crying, on Tuesday.\n\nSpanish media say the German mother and boys had arrived to see the father on Monday. He is a resident on Tenerife.\n\nThe father was arrested at his apartment, reportedly after a struggle.\n\nThe victims appear to have been beaten.\n\nSpain's Socialist government - facing a general election on Sunday - is treating it as a case of domestic violence and has condemned it on Twitter. Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo called it \"a brutal sexist murder\".\n\nThe Canary Islands are especially popular with German and UK tourists.\n\nThe police search was hampered by mist on the mountains\n\nEl País says the cave was found after a long search in mountain mist - the clue was a wristwatch found by a path.\n\nThe paper quotes sources as saying the father was aggressive and refused to give police any information about his partner and sons.\n\n\"It is suspected murder,\" a spokeswoman for the local police (Guardia Civil) told the BBC.\n\nThe suspect is being held at a police station in Playa de las Americas, near Adeje, and will probably go before an investigating judge on Friday, she said.\n\nA woman called Rosi told Spanish media how she had found the five-year-old boy \"tired and all red-faced\".\n\nIn a video clip on La Vanguardia news website she said the boy had \"gripped my hand, as he was anxious\".\n\nUnable to understand German, Rosi said she had fetched a friend, who then translated the boy's story. \"He said he had escaped, run away.\"\n\nThe boy is now in the care of the Canary Islands family welfare service, Spain's Efe news agency reports.\n\nThe service has contacted a family member, via the German consulate, who is now travelling to Tenerife to meet up with the boy.\n\nBut officials are leaving it to the judiciary to decide when the boy can return to Germany, as a criminal investigation is under way.\n\nA Canary Islands government official, Cristina Valido, said \"although we might be tempted to let the boy return as soon as possible to his normal family life in his country, evidently he witnessed an atrocity and probably it will be the judiciary which decides when he can go home\".\n\nGender-based violence is a major issue in Spain, following some high-profile cases. There was an outcry after five men accused of raping a young woman in Pamplona were acquitted a year ago, in a case known as La Manada (the wolf pack).\n\nDeputy Prime Minister Calvo said 18 women had been murdered by partners or ex-partners so far this year.

Her opera roles included Titania in A Midsummer's Night Dream, Gilda in Rigoletto and Violetta in La Traviata.\n\nThe singer took the stage at storied theatres worldwide, including the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center in New York, the John F Kennedy Center in Washington DC and the Palace of the Arts in Budapest.\n\nTillemann-Dick on vacation in Argentina with her husband\n\nTillmann-Dick was raised in Denver, Colorado, growing up in a Mormon-Jewish family alongside her 10 siblings.\n\nThough she loved to sing from an early age, cherishing family trips to the symphony and opera, Tillemann-Dick initially thought she might pursue a career in politics.\n\nShe would be following in the footsteps of her grandfather, Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor who served as a Democrat in the House of Representatives for almost 30 years, and an older brother, Tomicah Tillemann, who worked as a speech writer for Hillary Clinton.\n\n\"That's kind of our family trade I suppose,\" Tillemann-Dick said of politics in an interview with BBC World Service in 2013.\n\nBut after graduating from college and spending time on a few political campaigns, she made the choice to return to music.\n\n\"I decided I could never forgive myself if I didn't try my hand at music\", she told the BBC.\n\nTillemann-Dick began an intensive training programme at the renowned Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary.\n\nAt age 20 she was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, a rare disease marked by extreme pressure on the heart with no apparent cause.\n\nThe condition had caused Tillemann-Dick's heart to swell three and a half times beyond its normal size.\n\nThe diagnosis provided an explanation for her recent fainting spells and shortness of breath, and carried a life expectancy of two to five years.\n\nTillemann-Dick had said that one of her doctors told her she should stop singing for her condition.\n\nHoping to avoid a lung transplant, Tillemann-Dick was prescribed Flolan, a liquid medication delivered directly to the heart through a tube in her chest.\n\nTillemann-Dick lived with her husband in Baltimore\n\nThe pump, along with the necessary ice packs and auxiliary equipment, weighed about 4lbs (2kg), Tillemann-Dick told the BBC.\n\nNot wanting to draw attention to her condition as she continued to audition and perform, Tillemann-Dick said she would strap her medication to her thigh.\n\n\"Sopranos are unpredictable enough, without critical illness,\" she said,\n\nIn 2009, five years after the initial diagnosis, Tillemann-Dick received her first double lung transplant at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.\n\nThough the transplant was life-saving, Tilleman-Dick said she was very concerned about the surgery, particularly its impact on her voice.\n\n\"I had spent a lifetime training my body and my lungs and my voice to work in sync and I knew I would lose all of that,\" she told the BBC.\n\nThe brutal surgery put Tillemann-Dick in a coma for over a month, unable to breathe on her own for almost two months.\n\nEating, walking and talking came next before Tillemann-Dick finally tried to sing again.\n\nThe first song she tried, she said, was Smile - made famous by Nat King Cole.\n\nThe average lung transplant lasts for about five years, but Tillemann-Dick's body began to reject the transplanted organs just months after surgery.\n\nAs she awaited another donor match, doctors told her family that Tillemann-Dick was unlikely to survive, according to the Washington Post.\n\nBut as she waited, Tillemann-Dick continued to sing.\n\nIn 2011, still without functioning lungs, she debuted at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater. As she sang, Tilleman-Dick had an oxygen tank and wheelchair waiting in the wings.\n\n\"I could barely breathe but I could still sing\", she told the BBC. \"It was a miracle.\"\n\nIn January 2012, she underwent her second double-lung transplant, from a middle-aged Honduran American woman.\n\nTillemann-Dick became close friends with her donor's daughter, Esperanza Tufani.\n\nTillemann-Dick's debut album, American Grace, reached number one on the traditional classical charts on Billboard upon release\n\nApparently undeterred by her illness, Tillemann-Dick continued to pursue her career, singing with a new pair of lungs.\n\nHer debut album, American Grace, reached no 1 on Billboard's traditional classical charts upon its release in 2014.\n\nTillemann-Dick's dedication to music was perhaps matched by her advocacy work.\n\nShe was a national spokeswoman for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, working to raise awareness, increase federal research funding and promote preventative medicine.\n\nTillemann-Dick also shared her inspiring story with audiences across the US, including at numerous TED Talks.\n\n\"It was so many miracles that paved this most unexpected of paths\", she said to the BBC.\n\nIn 2015, Tillemann-Dick was confronted with another health problem.\n\nShe was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive skin cancer, thought to be a result of the anti-rejection drugs she had taken for her lungs.\n\nTreatment required chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, including a particular procedure that required cutting a nerve on her face, affecting muscle movement on the right side of her mouth, the Washington Post reported.\n\n\"Life is full of death.

The Western Pacific region was the only area to see a decline.\n\nA large number of infections were seen in Venezuela, as health systems collapsed after political and economic crises. The country had previously eliminated the disease.\n\nAnd there are now concerns that as more people move between countries in the region, the disease could continue to spread.\n\nMeanwhile the Ukraine, Italy, France, Germany and Greece all saw an increase in cases in the past few years.\n\nIn the UK, which was declared free of the disease by the WHO last year, there have also been small outbreaks in 2018.\n\nThis led England's top doctor to urge parents to get their children vaccinated and ignore anti-vaccine myths.\n\nDr Martin Friede, of the WHO, told the BBC that it was worrying that in a number of European countries parents were not vaccinating their children.\n\nHe said: \"Probably in Europe, more than other regions, we are seeing vaccine hesitancy becoming more of a problem than elsewhere.\n\n\"In some groups, this is driven by religious beliefs but in quite a few populations it is spread by false concerns about the safety of vaccines.\"\n\nDr Friede said that social media was playing a part in this and that new ways must be found to counter misinformation.\n\nHe said: \"Industrialised countries must not be complacent and forget that the disease can come back like a storm.\n\n\"It doesn't take many unvaccinated children for that to happen and when it happens, measles is not just a rash - it can cause blindness and brain problems.\"\n\nThe report estimates that since 2000, the two doses of measles vaccines given to young children have saved more than 21 million lives.\n\nBut Dr Soumya Swaminathan, of the WHO, said: \"Without urgent efforts to increase vaccination coverage and identify populations with unacceptable levels of under- or unimmunized children, we risk losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities against this devastating but entirely preventable disease.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock wants new legislation to force social media companies to remove content promoting false information about vaccines.\n\nHe said the government is working with internet companies to identify misleading material on jabs, including Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR).\n\nMMR vaccine uptake rates are declining in many countries.\n\nThe reason is not clear. Rates dipped in the 1990s following publication of a report linking MMR to autism, but partly recovered after that research was discredited and disproved.\n\nHowever, the volume of anti-vaccine sentiment on social media has been swelling in recent years, sparking concern that it is having a negative impact.\n\nMr Hancock told the BBC's Today programme: \"We are looking at legislating for the duty of care that social media companies in particular have towards the people on their sites - this is an important part of that duty of care alongside all the other things that social media companies need to do, like tackling material that promotes suicide and self-harm and, of course, terrorism.\"\n\nIn a statement Facebook, which owns Instagram, said: \"We are working to tackle vaccine misinformation…by reducing its distribution and providing people with authoritative information on the topic.\"\n\nMeasures to be taken, according to the company, include rejecting ads with misinformation about vaccines and not showing misleading content on hashtag pages.\n\nMeasles is highly infectious and can cause serious health complications, including damaging the lungs and brain.\n\nThere have been measles outbreaks in parts of the US. Rockland County in New York State has declared a State of Emergency in response to the outbreak there. Anyone who is under 18 and unvaccinated will be barred from all public places until the declaration expires in 30 days or they get the MMR vaccine. Breaches of the order will result in a fine and a six month jail sentence. In January officials in Washington State announced measures to help local areas worst affected by the virus.\n\nThere were more than 82,500 cases in Europe in 2018 - the highest number in a decade and three times the total reported in 2017.\n\nHealth chiefs in Greater Manchester reported a sharp increase in measles cases between January and March 2019, the majority in unvaccinated children.\n\nIn England, the proportion of children receiving both doses of the MMR jab by their fifth birthday has fallen over the last four years to 87.2%.\n\nThis is below the 95% said to provide \"herd immunity\", the level considered by experts to protect a population from a disease.\n\nTwo doses of the MMR vaccine are given to children before they start school in the UK\n\nProf Dame Sally Davies, England's chief medical officer, believes anti-vaccination campaigns are damaging and should be vigorously resisted: \"I don't like it that bad science is pushed to parents - I don't like quackery - I want them to know the truth that vaccines are very safe that have been used for decades\".\n\nJo Walton was sceptical about vaccinations when her daughter Sarah was due to receive her first jab. But Sarah contracted measles before the date of the injection.\n\nThe family thought no more of it until Sarah was 24 and was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition directly linked to the earlier measles infection.\n\nSarah is now bedbound and needs 24-hour care. Jo has become a committed campaigner for the MMR jab: \"It upsets me greatly that here we are 14 years after Sarah's diagnosis and people seem as ill-educated about the consequences of childhood illnesses as I was back in 1980.\"\n\nBut, faced with a barrage of claims and counter-claims on social media, its not surprising that some parents are confused.\n\nThe question is whether health experts should try to win them over by striving to win that battle rather than setting out to remove material deemed to be damaging and inaccurate.\n\nDr Fiona Godlee, editor of the British Medical Journal, argues that there is a danger with what may be perceived as censorship and, she says, the focus should be on winning hearts and minds.\n\n\"What you have is a spectrum of people, some for whom its an obvious thing to get their child vaccinated, others at the other end who will never be convinced, and, in the middle, perfectly intelligent, sensible people who are not certain what do and its that group of people we need to treat with respect and provide them with information.\n\n\"Social media can be both a positive and a negative thing in that. Clumsy-handed censorship I don't think is the way forward,\" she said.\n\nAs the chief medical officer put it, the UK's health system is not an island when it comes to the spread of viruses.\n\nNo wonder the World Health Organisation has declared the anti-vaccine movement to be one of the top global health threats for 2019.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The ruthlessness of the suicide attacks has stunned Sri Lankans\n\nSri Lanka is in a state of shock and confusion, trying to understand how a little-known Islamist group may have unleashed the wave of co-ordinated suicide bombings that resulted in the Easter Sunday carnage - the worst since the end of the civil war a decade ago.\n\nThe South Asian island nation has experience of such attacks - suicide bombers were used by Tamil Tiger rebels during the civil war. But the ruthlessness of the new atrocities has stunned the nation anew.\n\nEventually the government spokesman, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne, came out and blamed National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), a home-grown Islamist group, for the bombings.\n\n\"There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded,\" he told reporters on Monday.\n\nThat might go some way to explaining how a group that has been blamed for promoting hate speech may now have been able to scale up its capacity so monumentally.\n\nOn Tuesday, however, the Islamic State (IS) group said its militants had carried out the attacks. It published a video of eight men the group claimed were behind the attacks.\n\nThe IS claim should be treated cautiously. It is not clear whether these men were trained by the group or simply inspired by IS ideology.\n\nThe manner in which NTJ was identified was circuitous. The prime minister said there had been warnings made to officials that hadn't been shared with the cabinet. He said only the president would get such briefings, even though it is not clear if he personally did in this instance.\n\nThis is not an insignificant statement from a prime minister who was at loggerheads with the president for much of the past year. Many are drawing a conclusion about how political discord can have serious consequences - as well as undermining trust in the messages being put out.\n\nIf the suicide bombers were local Sri Lankan Muslims, as stated by the government, then it is a colossal failure by the intelligence agencies. Information is also now emerging in the US media that the Sri Lankan government may also have had warnings from US and Indian intelligence about a possible threat.\n\n\"Our understanding is that [the warning] was correctly circulated among security and police,\" Shiral Lakthilaka, a senior adviser to President Maithripala Sirisena, said.\n\nThe Sri Lankan president, who oversees security forces, has now set up a committee to find out what went wrong.\n\nSri Lankan intelligence was credited with foiling several suicide attacks by the Tamil Tiger rebels at the height of the civil war and for penetrating a well-knit and ruthless Tamil Tiger organisation.\n\nWhile this is clearly a security and political failure, there are also questions about the nature of communal strife in Sri Lanka's more recent history. During the civil war, Muslims were also targeted by Tamil Tiger rebels and suffered at their hands.\n\nBut Muslim community leaders say successive Sri Lankan governments have failed to restore confidence among young Muslims following more recent attacks by some members of the majority Sinhalese Buddhist community.\n\nOne of the worst incidents was in the town of Digana in central Sri Lanka where one person died when a Sinhalese mob attacked Muslim shops and mosques in March last year.\n\nSri Lanka declared a state of emergency after attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned businesses in 2018\n\n\"After Digana quite a few Muslims lost faith in the government to provide them security. Some of them got the idea that they can defend themselves,\" says Hilmy Ahamed, vice-president of the Sri Lanka Muslim Council.\n\nThe attacks and what the youths perceived as the lack of action by the government may have led some of them towards groups like NTJ.\n\nSome of the radicals were blamed for damaging Buddhist statues in recent years and their leader was arrested last year for offending religious sentiments. He later apologised for offending the sentiments of the Buddhist Sinhalese.\n\nNow it is widely believed a new group emerged a few years ago under the leadership of Zaharan Hashim, a radical Muslim preacher from eastern Sri Lanka.\n\nMr Hashim posted several videos on social media purportedly promoting hatred against non-Muslims. Most of his videos are in the Tamil language. His teachings are said to have attracted several Muslim youths.\n\n\"This man was preaching hate with lots of YouTube videos on social media posts. Some of us reported him to the national intelligence services. Once about three years ago and once in January this year,\" says Mr Ahamed.\n\nHe added that security services did not take any action against Mr Hashim. Reports say the preacher was one of the suicide bombers though it's yet to be confirmed.\n\nLike Muslims, Christians are a minority in Sri Lanka\n\nMuslim community leaders say a few youths went to Syria to join IS, and some of them were killed in fighting there.\n\nIt's important not to overstate this, though, and a former senior military officer Maj Gen (Retired) GA Chandrasiri says \"we have very cordial relationship with the Muslims. Most Muslims are not with these people. They are peace loving people\".\n\nThere are no reports so far of a high number of jihadists returning to Sri Lanka. But even if a select few jihadists are angry with the majority, why were Christians targeted?\n\nIn the complex cocktail of Sri Lanka's religious and ethnic tensions, Christians are almost unique for not perpetrating any kind of violence on behalf of their community. After all, it is a religion that crosses ethnic lines.\n\nI covered the Sri Lankan civil war for years and reported on many Tamil Tiger suicide attacks. It took years for the group to be able to learn to detonate such devices.\n\nSo it is intriguing that a lesser-known Islamist group, with a few home-grown radicals, could carry out six - some say even seven - suicide attacks with such pinpoint precision and devastation. None of them failed.\n\nEven though connections with global jihadist groups are unclear, the choice of major luxury hotels and Christians as a target - in addition to the sophistication of the operation - makes it plausible that local radicalism has come under the influence of global jihadist networks. It would be a tried and tested pattern in global attacks.\n\nDuring the Sri Lankan civil war foreign tourists were spared and attacks on outsiders were rare. In the latest bombings, many foreigners were killed and this has raised the spectre of links with al-Qaeda or IS.\n\n\"For this type of operation you need lots of assistance from outside. You need finances, training and technique for this kind of work. You can't do these things alone. May be there was some help from outside,\" Gen Chandrasiri said.\n\nThe number of tourists visiting Sri Lanka has soared after the end of the civil war\n\nViolence is not new to Sri Lanka. It went through turbulent times during a left-wing insurrection in the 1970s followed by a nearly three-decade bloody war with the Tamil Tiger rebels. Tens of thousands of people were killed.\n\nBut the ruthlessness and sophistication of the latest atrocities indicate that it will be challenge for the Sri Lankan security forces to deal with those behind the bombings. The last thing the Sri Lankan public wants is more violence and recrimination.", "The government has approved the supply of equipment by Chinese telecoms firm Huawei for the UK's new 5G data network despite warnings of a security risk.\n\nThere is no formal confirmation but the Daily Telegraph says Huawei will build \"non-core\" components such as antennas.\n\nThe US wants its allies in the \"Five Eyes\" intelligence grouping - the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - to exclude the company.\n\nHuawei has denied that its work poses any risks of espionage or sabotage.\n\nBut Australia has already said it is siding with Washington - which has spoken of \"serious concerns over Huawei's obligations to the Chinese government and the danger that poses to the integrity of telecommunications networks in the US and elsewhere\".\n\nA spokesman for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has said it is reviewing the supply of equipment for the 5G network and will report in due course.\n\nDigital minister Margot James responded to the reports by tweeting: \"In spite of Cabinet leaks to the contrary, final decision yet to be made on managing threats to telecoms infrastructure.\"\n\nAccording to the Daily Telegraph, Huawei would be allowed to help build the \"non-core\" infrastructure of the 5G network.\n\nThis would mean Huawei would not supply equipment for what is known as the \"core\" parts - where tasks such as checking device IDs and deciding how to route voice calls and data take place.\n\nHuawei, a private company which already supplies equipment for the UK's existing mobile networks, has always denied claims it is controlled by the Chinese government.\n\nIt said it was awaiting a formal announcement, but was \"pleased that the UK is continuing to take an evidence-based approach to its work\", adding it would continue to work cooperatively with the government and the industry.\n\nCiaran Martin, the head of the National Cyber Security Centre - which oversees Huawei's current UK work - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme a framework would be put in place to ensure the 5G network was \"sufficiently safe\".\n\nAsked about the potential of a conflict in the position of Five Eyes members, he added: \"In the past decade there have been different approaches across the Five Eyes and across the allied wider Western alliance towards Huawei and towards other issues as well.\"\n\n5G promises great benefits but may come with higher security risks\n\n5G is the next (fifth) generation of mobile internet connectivity, promising much faster data download and upload speeds, wider coverage and more stable connections.\n\nThe world is going mobile and existing spectrum bands are becoming congested, leading to breakdowns, particularly when many people in one area are trying to access services at the same time.\n\n5G is also much better at handling thousands of devices simultaneously, from phones to equipment sensors, video cameras to smart street lights.\n\nCurrent 4G mobile networks can offer speeds of about 45Mbps (megabits per second) on average and experts say 5G - which is starting to be rolled out in the UK this year - could achieve browsing and downloads up to 20 times faster.\n\nBBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says it is believed the decision to involve Huawei was taken by ministers at a meeting of the government's national security council on Tuesday, chaired by Prime Minister Theresa May.\n\nThe home, defence and foreign secretaries were reported to have raised concerns during the discussions.\n\nIn a tweet, shadow Cabinet Office minister Jo Platt said using Huawei equipment would raise \"serious questions\" about the \"government's interests and how they will secure networks\".\n\nThe decision on Huawei is one of the most significant long-term national security decisions this government will make and was always going to be contentious.\n\n5G will underpin our daily lives in ways that are hard to predict. So does allowing a Chinese company to build those networks put people at risk of being spied on or even switched off?\n\nThat is the concern from Washington and other critics who wanted the company excluded.\n\nBut deciding to ban Huawei entirely from the network would have risked slowing down the development of 5G and also upsetting China.\n\nThe UK believes it has experience in managing the risks posed by Huawei and can continue to do so going forward.\n\nBut one retired senior intelligence official recently told me his view on what to do about Huawei had changed.\n\nIn the past, he said, he had believed the policy of managing the risk had been sufficient. But now he was less sure.\n\nThe reason was not to do with any change in his view of what the company could do. Rather it was about the risks to relationships with close allies, namely those of the Five Eyes and US.\n\nForeign Affairs Committee chairman Tom Tugendhat tweeted that allowing Huawei to build some of the UK's 5G infrastructure would \"cause allies to doubt our ability to keep data secure and erode the trust essential to #FiveEyes cooperation\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Jeremy Corbyn: I want to see an end to high bus fares\n\nLabour is pledging to spend £1.3bn a year to reverse cuts to 3,000 bus routes and fund the expansion of new services in England.\n\nDuring a visit to Nottingham, Jeremy Corbyn said services have been \"devastated\" by austerity.\n\nThe Campaign for Better Transport said local authority bus budgets have been cut by 45% since 2010.\n\nBut ministers said they spent £250m a year directly on services, including some that otherwise wouldn't be viable.\n\nLabour said its policy, launched a week before local council elections across England, would be funded by revenue from Vehicle Excise Duty.\n\nIn a speech, Mr Corbyn said bus services are a \"lifeline\" for many people and cuts to services in the past decade have had \"disastrous consequences for our towns and city centres and for air pollution and the environment\".\n\n\"Bus networks are essential for towns and cities and for tackling rural poverty and isolation, which is why Labour is committed to creating thriving bus networks under public ownership.\"\n\nLabour says the policy complements its plan to put communities in control by bringing local services into public ownership, and introducing free bus fares for young people under the age of 25.\n\nOutside London, buses are largely run by private companies, which make their money from passenger fares.\n\nThe government said buses were \"vital for connecting people\" so it subsidises costs by about £250m every year\n\nLocal councils pay subsidies to plug gaps in services, often in rural areas where running a route is more expensive or less lucrative for companies. Nearly half of all bus routes in England receive partial or complete subsidies from councils.\n\nThe Local Government Association has warned these services are at risk as local authorities will struggle to maintain current levels of support unless they are given more funding.\n\nDepartment for Transport figures show the number of local bus passenger journeys in England fell by 85 million, or 1.9%, to 4.36 billion in the year ending March 2018.\n\nLabour's plans were welcomed by trade unions but the Conservatives said the opposition had \"already spent the pot of money they claim would fund this proposal\".\n\nMarcus Jones, the party's vice chair for local government, said motorists would end up being \"clobbered\" and funding for road repairs slashed to pay for the proposal.\n\n\"Along with their plans to put politicians in Westminster in charge of running local bus services, their pledge to slash funding for roads and their calls to increase fuel duty, this just proves they are not on the side of hardworking families who rely on their vehicles,\" he said.\n\nVED is forecast to raise about £7.1bn in revenues in 2021-2022.\n\nThe government has said some of this money will be ring-fenced to pay for road building but Labour has said sustainable transport schemes will also be backed.\n\nThe Liberal Democrats said they agreed with Labour that additional bus funding is needed, but \"much more needs to be done\".\n\nThe party's transport spokeswoman Jenny Randerson added: \"Targeting funding in the right areas is vital, particularly in rural areas where people can be cut off\".\n\nThe Liberal Democrats say they would give young people aged 16-21 a two-third discount off bus fares.\n\nCo-leader of the Green Party, Sian Berry, also said Labour was right to reverse the cuts but urged them to commit to scrapping the HS2 high-speed rail project.\n\n\"This would free up tens of billions of pounds to be invested in transforming bus and train services in hundreds of towns and cities across the UK,\" she said.\n\nIn a response, the Department for Transport said: \"Buses are vital for connecting people, homes and businesses which is why we help subsidise costs by around £250m every year and support local authority spending.\n\n\"Local authorities spend a further £1bn on the free bus pass scheme, benefiting older and disabled people across the country.\n\n\"We have also recently published our plans to make bus travel more convenient for passengers by ensuring better access to real-time information on fares, routes and services.\"\n• None What has been happening to bus travel?", "The attack happened in Church Road in Rayleigh on Wednesday evening\n\nAn off-duty police officer is in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed multiple times in a \"targeted\" attack.\n\nThe victim suffered injuries to his stomach, chest and arm in the attack in Rayleigh at about 21:15 BST on Wednesday, Essex Police said.\n\nA man was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is in custody.\n\nPolice said it was believed the attack was \"targeted and isolated\" and have appealed for witnesses.\n\nIn a statement Ben-Julian Harrington, chief constable of Essex, said the force was \"supporting one of our colleagues who was the victim of a stabbing in Rayleigh\".\n\n\"I can however confirm we have a man in custody who has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder,\" he said.\n\n\"We believe this attack was targeted and that the officer and the suspect are known to each other.\n\n\"There is no wider risk to the local community or other police officers as a result of this incident.\"\n\nPolice said he was in a \"serious but stable condition\" after undergoing hospital treatment.\n\nHe had been found at an address in Church Road and it was not seeking anyone else in connection with the stabbing.\n\nIn a Tweet, John Apter, the chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: \"Thoughts are with the officer, his family and his colleagues.

Bullying is a problem for many children with continence problems.\"\n\nIf not properly assessed and treated, Dr Dobson said children could also end up in A&E with serious constipation, or kidney problems caused by urinary tract infection.\n\nWhere the full service provision does exist in Wales, parents claim it is overstretched.\n\nThe problem can lead to anxiety for some children\n\nBethan (not her real name) is also in her first year at secondary school and has bladder incontinence which has led to anxiety problems.\n\n\"Only one friend knows, she's really close.

So this could be a coup postponed - not a coup averted.\n\nMrs May survived a vote of no confidence in her on 12 December 2018 by 200 to 117 votes.\n\nThe ballot was triggered after 48 Tory MPs wrote to the 1922 committee's chair Sir Graham Brady to say they had lost faith in her, exceeding the threshold required.\n\nSome of those who wanted to change the Conservative rules argued another vote of confidence should be permitted after six months, rather than a year, if a relatively high number of MPs - 30% or 40% - call for it.\n\nBut other members of 1922 Committee, who started discussing the issue on Tuesday, were sceptical of long-term rule changes to address a very specific circumstance.\n\nThey were also worried about showing further party divisions ahead of local elections next week and the potential European elections on 23 May.", "Facebook has said it will set aside $3bn (£2.3bn) to cover the potential costs of an investigation by US authorities into its privacy practices.\n\nWhile it has provided for a heavy toll from the investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission, the final cost could be $5bn, it said.\n\nThe social media giant also said total sales for the first three months of the year leapt 26% to $15.08bn, narrowly beating market expectations.\n\nThat rise takes the number of users to 2.38 billion.\n\n\"We had a good quarter and our business and community continued to grow,\" founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said.\n\n\"We are focused on building out our privacy-focused vision for the future of social networking, and working collaboratively to address important issues around the internet.\"\n\nThe shares are up by nearly 40% in the year to date, far outperforming the broader market, and were up nearly 5% in late trading on Wall Street.\n\nFacebook is facing a probe over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, however no findings have yet been published.\n\nFacebook was labelled \"morally bankrupt pathological liars\" by New Zealand's privacy commissioner this month after hosting a livestream of the Christchurch attacks that left 50 dead.\n\nIn an interview after the attacks, Mr Zuckerberg refused to commit to any changes to the platform's live technology, including a time delay on livestreams.\n\nFacebook, which owns Instagram, last week admitted that millions more Instagram users were affected by a security lapse than it had previously disclosed. It had mistakenly stored the passwords of hundreds of millions of users without encryption.", "Asda has overtaken Sainsbury's to become the UK's second-largest supermarket, figures suggest.\n\nAsda's sales rose 0.1% in the 12 weeks to 24 March taking its market share to 15.4%, research firm Kantar said.\n\nIn contrast, Sainsbury's sales fell 1.8% over the same period, meaning its market share dropped to 15.3%.\n\nThe two supermarket groups are currently struggling to persuade the UK competition watchdog to allow their proposed £7bn merger to go ahead.\n\nThe duo have argued that the tie-up will save them £1.6bn and allow them to pass on £1bn in price cuts to savers. They have also agreed to sell between 125 and 150 supermarkets and a number of convenience stores if allowed to merge.\n\nAccording to Kantar's figures, Sainsbury's was the worst performer of all the big four supermarkets, which includes Tesco and Morrisons. Sainsbury's sales fall meant its performance lagged behind smaller rivals, such as Iceland and Co-op.\n\nKantar said one reason for Sainsbury's sales slide was that much of its non-food was now sold via catalogue-retailer Argos, which the supermarket group bought in 2016. Argos sales are not included in Kantar's figures.\n\nDiscounters Aldi and Lidl continued to expand their reach, with both expanding their market share to 8% and 5.6% respectively in the period.\n\n\"Thirteen million households visited Aldi at least once in the past 12 weeks - now more than those shopping at Morrisons,\" said Fraser McKevitt, consumer head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar.\n\nOverall, year-on-year supermarket sales over the 12 week period rose 1.4% - the slowest rate of growth since March last year, which was partly due to the late Easter meaning that Mother's Day fell outside the reported period, Kantar said.\n\nDespite Easter being later than usual, Kantar said its data showed that shoppers have already spent £146m on Easter eggs this year, while 42% of households had bought hot cross buns.", "Reflecting on the way in which politicians had united in their condemnation of the murder, Fr Magill asked: \"Why does it take the death of a 29-year-old woman with her whole life in front of her to get to this point?\"", "Zahran Hashim was not widely known in Sri Lanka until this week\n\nA young mother of two in the coastal Sri Lankan town of Kattankudy sits in disbelief.\n\nMohammad Hashim Madaniya has found out that her brother, Zahran Hashim, is the alleged ringleader of a group of suicide bombers who attacked churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, killing at least 250 people.\n\nShe says she is horrified by what he has done and fears what could happen next. She has been interviewed by police but is not being treated as a suspect.\n\nIt's still not clear if Mr Hashim, who is accused of leading a group of bombers (alleged to include two sons of a wealthy tycoon), is alive or dead.\n\nWearing a white scarf, Ms Madaniya sits uncomfortably in the humidity of Kattankudy, a predominantly Muslim town overlooking the Indian Ocean.\n\nShe is clearly unhappy with the attention that she is getting.\n\nShe is the youngest of five siblings and Mr Hashim, believed to be around 40, is the eldest. She insists she has had no contact with her brother since 2017, when he went underground after police tried to arrest him over violence between ideologically opposed Muslim groups.\n\nSince Sunday's attacks, a video has emerged in which a man believed to be Zahran Hashim appears pledging allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State (IS) group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.\n\nHis is the only face visible among eight men who are said by IS to have carried out the attacks.\n\nSri Lankan police say there were nine attackers in total, including a woman, and that they were all homegrown. They were described as \"educated\" and \"middle class\" - with one having studied in the UK and Australia. Two were sons of a prominent spice trader who is now in custody, and one of the men's wives blew herself up during a raid on Sunday, killing her two children and several police officers, police sources say.\n\n\"I came to know about his activities only through the media. I never thought, even for a moment, that he would do such a thing,\" says Ms Madaniya of her brother.\n\n\"I strongly deplore what he has done. Even if he is my brother, I cannot accept this. I don't care about him any more.\"\n\nKattankudy's Muslims fear reprisals because the preacher came from their town\n\nHer brother, a radical Islamist preacher, came to local prominence a few years ago after he posted several videos on YouTube and other social media platforms denouncing non-believers.\n\nThe videos triggered concern among other Muslims, who are a minority in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka. Community leaders have said they raised concerns repeatedly with authorities but were ignored. Officials say they were unable to track him after he went into hiding.\n\nBut few would have expected a part-time preacher from a small town in eastern Sri Lanka to be able to organise the deadliest suicide bombings in this war-scarred country's history, attracting global attention and fresh scrutiny of links between local extremists and international groups like Islamic State (IS).\n\nWhite flags are hung in Kattankudy to pay tribute to the dead\n\n\"We had a very good relationship during our childhood. He was very friendly with everyone in the neighbourhood. But for the last two years, he has not been in contact with us,\" said Ms Madaniya.\n\nIt is still not clear whether Mr Hashim had direct contact with IS or if he was a local jihadist who pledged allegiance to the group, which has claimed the attack.\n\nKattankudy is near the city of Batticaloa, where the Zion Church was bombed on Easter Sunday, killing at least 28 people.\n\nThe town, of less than 50,000 people, has now been thrust into the spotlight.\n\nWhen I tried to find the ancestral house of Mr Hashim, many people were not willing to answer. People were scared to talk about him.\n\nSince the bombings, the Muslim community has been on edge and apprehensive.\n\n\"That someone from our area has been linked to the attacks is really a worry for us. We are shocked and upset by it. Our community doesn't support hardliners. We believe in harmony and unity,\" said Mohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Zubair, the leader of the Federation of Kattankudy Mosques.\n\nDuring my visit, Kattankudy was shut down in a day of protest against the carnage. Black and white ribbons fluttered along the main roads as a mark of respect for those killed.\n\nThe mosque Zahran Hashim founded had hundreds of followers - but is now empty\n\nMr Zubair said he met the radical preacher several years ago and spoke to him about his Islamic traditions, which differed from mainstream local practices. He said the community abhorred violence and that it was taking all steps to stop young people being radicalised.\n\nMr Hashim started as a small-time preacher but, his sister said, soon attracted attention and admiration in some quarters because of his teachings.\n\nAs his popularity grew. he went around the region preaching Islam.\n\nAfter the mainstream Islamic groups refused to allow him to speak to their congregations due to his hardline views, he started his own outfit, the National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ) in Kattankudy.\n\nHe also built a mosque close to the beach and held prayers and classes inside the building. After his controversial hate speeches surfaced on social media, locals say he was expelled from the NTJ. He simply vanished but continued to post incendiary videos from hiding. There is some scepticism locally as to whether he really cut links with the group he founded.\n\nSri Lanka's deputy defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene has said that a splinter group emerged from the original NTJ.\n\nMohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Zubair says the community does not support extremists\n\nIt is still not clear whether Zahran Hashim was one of the suicide bombers.\n\nBut one thing seems clear: as the government pointed out, those who carried out the bombings must have had some help from abroad.\n\nDuring our conversation, Mr Hashim's sister also revealed that her elderly parents had left their home in the same area a few days before the Easter Sunday bombings and that she had not heard from them since.\n\n\"It makes me think that my brother could have kept in touch with them,\" she said. The authorities are also trying to trace Mr Hashim's younger brother.\n\nMuslim leaders here maintain that Mr Hashim was an aberration and that their community, like all Sri Lankans, is mourning what they see as senseless attacks.\n\nBut the fear of reprisals in this small town is very real.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "Kercheval was best known for playing oil tycoon Cliff Barnes on the popular soap opera\n\nKen Kercheval, an actor who played oil tycoon Cliff Barnes in the popular soap opera Dallas, has died at age 83.\n\nA spokeswoman at Frist Funeral Home in Kercheval's hometown of Clinton, Indiana, confirmed his death to the BBC but was unable to give further details.\n\nLocal newspaper The Daily Clintonian reports that he passed away on Sunday.\n\nHe and Larry Hagman, who played rival character JR Ewing, were the only stars to stay with the series throughout its entire 14-year run.\n\nVictoria Principal who played his on-screen sister, Pamela Barnes Ewing, paid tribute on social media describing Kercheval as \"supremely talented\" and \"a wonderful story teller, slyly humourous and always unpredictable\".\n\nShe went on to say she hoped that he and fellow late Dallas stars Larry Hagman, who played JR Ewing, and Barbara Bel Geddes aka Miss Ellie Ewing \"are throwing a Texas style heavenly party!\"\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Nequela Whittaker was jailed at 17 - she is now a youth worker\n\nGirls involved in gang crime are being overlooked and failed by the authorities, the children's commissioner for England has said.\n\nHalf of children involved with gangs are girls and they \"desperately need help to get out\", Anne Longfield said.\n\nThey are often used to carry knives or drugs because they are less likely to be stopped by police, she told the BBC.\n\nThe Local Government Association said \"limited funding\" meant councils had to prioritise those at immediate risk.\n\nMs Longfield told the Victoria Derbyshire programme she was writing to the government and local authorities calling for a review into support for female gang members, who were \"not getting the help they need\".\n\n\"Teachers, social workers, GPs and youth workers need to be doing more to help get these girls out of gangs,\" she said.\n\n\"So many are trapped with nowhere to go.\"\n\nTwo-thirds of children in England assessed by councils as being involved in gangs are boys (66%) and one third girls (34%), figures analysed by the children's commissioner's office suggest.\n\nEstimates from the Office for National Statistics suggest a higher figure - that as many as half may be girls.\n\nBut the Metropolitan Police Service's gangs matrix database lists 3,000 male gang members known to the authorities in London and just 18 female gang members.\n\nAnd London's deputy mayor for policing, Sophie Linden, said a lot of girls were going \"under the radar\".\n\nAnne Longfield is writing to ask the government for a review into how girls involved in gangs are supported\n\nNequela Whittaker, who used to be in a gang but is now a youth worker, said girls as young as 11 were now telling her they carried weapons for \"boyfriends, other counterparts and gang members\".\n\n\"As young as these girls are, they are not scared to carry a weapon and if something went wrong to use it,\" she told the Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\n\"They are the ones who are getting away with it, mostly because they are not looked upon as a person of interest, as opposed to a young male.\"\n\nUntil recently, \"Samira\", 18, was a member of a south London gang who had groomed her into carrying weapons from the age of 12.\n\n\"It would mostly be kitchen knives, for gang members and for my own protection,\" she said.\n\nAsked if she was aware of the harm this could lead to, she replied: \"All you think about is yourself. You don't really care about what happens to the other person.\n\n\"All you want to do is protect yourself and you're willing to do anything to do that.\"\n\nShe said she had also seen other girls being sexually exploited by senior gang members.\n\n\"I saw people getting stabbed, getting shot, people getting beaten up and getting robbed,\" she said.\n\nShe is now pregnant, which she said had allowed her to escape gang culture.\n\nPolice say gender should not be a factor in who is targeted by stop and search\n\nMs Linden, said it was heartbreaking to hear young girls talk about being groomed and abused.\n\n\"We are doing our best to engage with those we know about and make sure we are actively reaching out to communities, to ensure we are working with young women and girls who are being exploited.\n\nThe Local Government Association, which represents 370 councils across England, said: \"Councils are being forced to divert the limited funding they have left away from preventative work, including young offenders teams and youth work, into services to protect children who are at immediate risk of harm.\"\n\nFollow the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme on Facebook and Twitter - and see more of our stories here.", "Gisda chief executive Sian Elen Tomos faces a number of claims she bullied former staff\n\nTen former employees at a homeless charity have said the chief executive's behaviour led them to leave their jobs.\n\nSince 2011, seven managers and three members of staff have left Gisda, with many claiming to have been bullied.\n\nThe board of directors at the charity, based in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, said it had confidence in the ability of Sian Elen Tomos.\n\nThe youth charity is \"committed to creating a healthy work space for its entire staff,\" the board added.\n\nThe BBC has spoken to 10 former Gisda employees who claim Ms Tomos's managerial style was the reason they left.\n\nNone were willing to do an interview publicly - but one agreed to speak anonymously.\n\nEileen - not her real name - said Ms Tomos \"could make people feel very uncomfortable\".\n\n\"Not taking into account what anyone else said, ignoring people and making it obvious in front of other people, turning her back on you as you were speaking to her and walking away,\" she explained.\n\n\"I've seen her walking out of a number of meetings.

If anyone disagreed with her she got rid of them - or worked to get rid of them.\"\n\nA letter sent to the board of directors and seen by the BBC shows a number of staff complained about the situation in 2017.\n\nThe BBC understands only three formal complaints have been made since 2011, but a number of former staff said they did not complain formally because they felt they would be ignored.\n\nThe letter noted staff felt \"suspicious, dispirited, anxious and angry\", and the charity needed to act decisively if the board wished \"to avoid a morale crisis\".\n\nThe letter finished by calling on the board to \"consider the high level of staff turnover in the organisation\".\n\nA letter seen by the BBC shows staff feared a \"morale crisis\" at Gisda\n\nLater in 2017, an independent report was commissioned by the charity in response to the grievances of two managers.\n\nThe BBC has seen a copy of the report, which states the grievances of the two previous managers and the complaints made by the chief executive about her staff, were partly upheld.\n\nAcknowledging further issues at Gisda, the report made a number of recommendations.\n\nThese included to arrange mediation between Ms Tomos and the two former managers and the board should review its complaints procedures so complaints were acted upon and not ignored.\n\nAccording to Eileen, who left months after the independent report was published, the recommendations were not acted upon.\n\nFour other former members of staff who left after the report was published agreed.\n\nTo see positive change, Eileen said the charity should appoint a new board of directors and chief executive.\n\nThe charity's board of trustees said it had confidence in Ms Tomos\n\nMs Tomos and the chairman of the board of directors, Tudor Owen, were

We could have been putting our lives at risk, anything could happen.\n\n\"We've been really lucky and have managed to get our trip changed for a fee.\"\n\nForeign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he hoped to be able to change the travel advice once the current security operation had concluded.\n\n\"My first priority will always be the security of British citizens living and travelling abroad.\n\n\"We all hope the situation will return to normal very soon, and that the Sri Lankan tourism industry is able to get back on its feet following the terrorist attacks.\n\n\"We will do all we can to help the Sri Lankan authorities in the meantime,\" he added.\n\nTravel expert Simon Calder said tourism was the third most important industry to the Sri Lankan economy, particularly in terms of employment and foreign exchange.\n\nIn 2017, more than two million tourists visited the island, an increase from fewer than half a million in 2009.\n\nSri Lanka's tourism sector was worth just $350m (£270m) in 2009, growing more than 10 times to be worth $4.4bn (£3.4bn) in 2018, according to figures from the Sri Lankan central bank.\n\nAccording to ONS figures, £88m was spent on tourism in Sri Lanka in 2017 by UK residents, who made 86,000 visits.\n\nMr Calder told the BBC the UK travel warning would \"send a signal to the rest of the world\" and \"almost certainly have a detrimental effect\" on the industry.\n\nHe also pointed out that it can take years for a ban to be lifted. \"It took two years for Tunisia to get off the no-go list,\" he said.\n\nThere will also be a short-term impact on the travel industry, he added.\n\n\"People that have a package holiday booked in the next few weeks will not be expected to travel and the travel company will have to make arrangements to give a full refund or provide an alternative holiday - it's your choice,\" he said.\n\nHowever, travel trade organisation Abta said anyone who booked their flights and accommodation separately will need to discuss their options with the individual companies.\n\nHolidaymakers with travel insurance may be able to claim for losses depending on the terms of their policy.\n\nTour operator Tui said it has started to contact customers in Sri Lanka and those due to travel in the next seven days to discuss travel arrangements.\n\nEight Britons died in the attacks: Alex, Anita and Annabel Nicholson, Daniel and Amelie Linsey, Dr Sally Bradley and Bill Harrop, and Lorraine Campbell (clockwise from top left)\n\nAmong the victims of Sunday's bombings were Anita Nicholson and her children Annabel, 11, and Alex, 14, who were visiting Sri Lanka on holiday from their home in Singapore.\n\nDr Sally Bradley and William Harrop were also on holiday from western Australia where they were living.\n\nIT director Lorraine Campbell, 55, from Greater Manchester, was staying at Colombo's Cinnamon Grand Hotel on a business trip when she died.\n\nLondon siblings Daniel and Amelie Linsey died after their father tried to rescue them from one of the bombings.\n\nIn an interview with the BBC on Thursday, their brother, David, paid tribute to 15-year-old Amelie, who was \"beautiful in every way\" and \"always a daddy's girl\".\n\nHis 19-year-old brother, Daniel, lived his life in the service of other people and would always go out of his way for others, David said.\n\nTheir father, Matthew Linsey, said he wanted the UK government to bring their bodies back to the UK as soon as possible. \"We want to reunite them with their family,\" he said.\n\nA team of family liaison officers has been sent to Sri Lanka to support the families of British victims and help repatriate the deceased.", "Sainsbury's shares have dived 15% after the UK's competition watchdog cast doubt on its plan to buy Asda.\n\nCustomers could see higher prices and less choice if the two grocers combined, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said.\n\nIt said it could block the deal or force the sale of a large number of stores or even one of the brand names.\n\nHowever, it also said it was \"likely to be difficult\" for the chains to \"address the concerns\".\n\nSainsbury's boss said the findings were \"outrageous\".\n\nIn its provisional report on the proposed merger, the CMA also said the merger could lead to a \"poorer shopping experience\".\n\nStuart McIntosh, chair of the CMA's independent inquiry group, said it had found \"very significant competition concerns in a number of areas - they are to do with grocery shopping in supermarkets, grocery shopping online and the companies' petrol stations\".\n\n\"However, if one recognises that the competition concerns are quite broadly based... putting together a package of measures which addresses those concerns is likely to be complex and quite challenging,\" he said.\n\nBut Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe described the CMA's analysis as \"fundamentally flawed\" and said the firm would be making \"very strong representations\" to it about its \"inaccuracy and lack of objectivity\".\n\n\"They have fundamentally moved the goalposts, changed the shape of the ball and chosen a different playing field,\" he told the BBC.\n\nSupermarket bosses know that British competition regulators have always had a strong interest in the grocery market. There has been a string of inquiries over the last two decades, both into individual deals and the bigger question of how well the market serves consumer interests.\n\nSo Sainsbury's board members would have been nervous when they proposed a takeover of Asda last year - but they did at least have the encouragement that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had approved a tie-up between Tesco and Booker just a few months earlier.\n\nUnfortunately for them, the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be an oncoming train.\n\nThe regulator has crushed Sainsbury's plans. There is no veto, but the strong language used, and the breadth of the problems found, suggest there is no way back.\n\nThe firms will have a chance to respond to the CMA's provisional findings, before it publishes its final decision on 30 April.\n\nThe watchdog said it had identified two potential remedies to the loss of competition: either blocking the merger entirely or forcing the sale of \"assets and operations\", including stores or even the Sainsbury's or Asda brands.\n\nHowever, it added that it \"currently considers that there is a significant risk that a divestiture will not be effective in this particular case\".\n\nThe two chains would need to sell \"sufficient assets and operations to enable any purchaser to compete effectively as a national in-store grocery retailer\".\n\nIt added that it may not be possible to achieve an effective solution to the loss of competition \"without also divesting one or other of the Asda or Sainsbury's brands, in addition to physical assets and operations\".\n\nThe deal would create the UK's biggest supermarket chain, a business accounting for £1 in every £3 spent on groceries, with a 31.4% market share and 2,800 stores.\n\nThe CMA's Mr McIntosh said: \"We have provisionally found that, should the two merge, shoppers could face higher prices, reduced quality and choice, and a poorer overall shopping experience across the UK.\n\n\"We also have concerns that prices could rise at a large number of their petrol stations.\"\n\nHowever, in a joint statement, Sainsbury's and Asda said combining the two chains would create \"significant cost savings, which would allow us to lower prices\".\n\n\"Despite the savings being independently reviewed by two separate industry specialists, the CMA has chosen to discount them as benefits.\"\n\nHargreaves Lansdown senior analyst Laith Khalaf said the CMA had \"basically kicked the Sainsbury-Asda merger into touch\".\n\n\"While the regulator left the door open for the supermarkets to sell off assets to complete the deal, it's clearly not keen on that solution.\n\nSainsbury's and Asda would also have to find a suitable buyer for the assets on sale, one who is big enough to provide proper competition in the eyes of the regulator, he added.\n\nPatrick O'Brien, UK retail research director for GlobalData, said the CMA's provisional findings had \"devastated any prospect of the merger going ahead\".\n\n\"The CMA has raised concerns about the tie-up in just about every conceivable way - on national and local grounds, on store and online competition concerns and on major stores, convenience stores and petrol stations.\"", "Supermarket chain Asda has reported a slowdown in sales growth amid another \"challenging year\" for retailers.\n\nIn the final three months of 2018, like-for-like sales grew 1%, compared with a 2% rise in the previous quarter.\n\nAsda chief executive Roger Burnley said that Brexit uncertainties were \"playing on our customers' minds\".\n\nAsda and rival Sainsbury's are waiting for the preliminary results of a UK competition probe into their proposed merger.\n\nThe UK's competition regulator is looking into whether the proposed merger would leave shoppers facing higher prices or less choice.\n\nDespite the slowdown, this was still the seventh consecutive quarter of sales growth for Asda, which has been outpacing its potential partner. In January, Sainsbury's reported a 1.1% fall in like-for-like sales for the comparable period.\n\nMr Burnley said: \"The year ahead looks no less turbulent than the last.\n\n\"Whilst I am pleased with our performance in 2018, we must remain focused on ensuring the long-term sustainable success of Asda for our customers.\"\n\nHe said 2018 had been another \"challenging\" period in retail, but that there had been higher demand for the grocer's own-brand products in the fourth quarter.\n\nThe owner of Asda, US retail giant Walmart, also reported fourth quarter results on Tuesday. It posted strong like-for-like sales growth of 4.2% after a boost in online sales and higher consumer spending in the US.\n\nThomas Brereton, a retail analyst at GlobalData, described Asda's results as \"lacklustre\".\n\nMr Brereton said that \"the overall feeling will be that Asda has been somewhat unsuccessful in truly exploiting its rebuilt image over the festive period\", after returning to Black Friday sales and cutting prices to stay competitive with discounters.\n\nBut he added that the latest results would be \"unlikely to create waves at either Sainsbury's or Asda\" as they only cover 13 weeks of sales.\n\n\"Exactly how the two businesses will merge remains an unclear but intriguing issue, with both owning significant market share - not only across food but also GM [general merchandise] and clothing.\"", "The Sydney Daily Telegraph has apologised for the printing error\n\nOne of Australia's most popular tabloids has blamed a printing error after pages from a rival newspaper appeared in its Thursday edition.\n\nThe Sydney-based Daily Telegraph, a right-leaning tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch, accidentally printed two pages of the liberal Sydney Morning Herald.\n\nThe pages include a letter calling for action to tackle climate change.\n\nThe Telegraph has apologised for the mistake and said it happened during the production process.\n\n\"Both papers share the same printing facility in Sydney's west,\" it said in a statement posted to Twitter. \"We apologise for any confusion this has caused.\"\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Universal Credit is available to claimants on day one.\n\n\"It also cannot be claimed that Universal Credit is driving the overall use of food banks or that benefit changes and delays are driving growth.\"\n\nThe spokeswoman said the Trussell Trust's own analysis showed a \"substantial fall\" in the proportion of parcels being issued due to benefit payment delays.\n\nShe said that the best route out of poverty was to help people into sustainable employment \"which, with record employment, we are doing\".\n\nThe DWP added that for those who needed a safety net, £10bn had been invested in Universal Credit since 2016, while the benefits freeze would end next year.\n\nThe Trussell Trust says the five-week wait for a first Universal Credit payment leaves many without enough money to live on.\n\nBut the DWP says people do not need to wait that long.\n\nSo do people claiming Universal Credit have to wait or not?\n\nTechnically, they're both right. There is a five-week wait for the first payment but you can apply for an advance loan.\n\nSo, if your first estimated payment is £251.77 you can ask for the same amount - or less - as an advance.\n\nHowever, that has to be paid back - and if you choose to spread the payments over the maximum time of one year, this would cost you £20.98 a month which would be deducted from your monthly Universal Credit payments.\n\nAnd £20 a month is a lot of money to pay back if you're on a low income.\n\nYou can also be refused an advance if you live with your parents or friends, or have savings, for example.\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.\n\nA reward of up to £10,000 has been offered for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for the murder of journalist Lyra McKee.\n\nMs McKee, 29, was shot in the head last Thursday while observing rioting in Londonderry, and hundreds of mourners attended her funeral on Wednesday.\n\nPolice said the Crimestoppers reward might help \"assist in efforts to get justice for Lyra and her loved ones\".\n\nA dissident republican group, the New IRA, has said its members killed her.\n\nA spokesman for Crimestoppers - a charity which takes calls confidentially via a telephone or using an anonymous online form - said the murder had sent \"shockwaves\" across Northern Ireland and attracted \"global condemnation\".\n\nDet Supt Jason Murphy said police had received \"widespread public support to date\" - more than 140 people have already contacted investigators via the Major Incident Public Portal.\n\n\"I want to find the people who murdered Lyra and the information that can help us bring Lyra's killer to justice lies within the local community,\" he said.\n\n\"People saw the gunman - people know who is responsible.

Gail Jardine: \"I can walk, I can turn... it's really helped me\"\n\nA treatment that has restored the movement of patients with chronic Parkinson's disease has been developed by Canadian researchers.\n\nPreviously housebound patients are now able to walk more freely as a result of electrical stimulation to their spines.\n\nA quarter of patients have difficulty walking as the disease wears on, often freezing on the spot and falling.\n\nParkinson's UK hailed its potential impact on an aspect of the disease where there is currently no treatment.\n\nProf Mandar Jog, of Western University and associate scientific director, Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ontario, told BBC News the scale of benefit to patients of his new treatment was \"beyond his wildest dreams\".\n\nScientists monitor their patients' improvement using sensors on a specially made suit.\n\n\"Most of our patients have had the disease for 15 years and have not walked with any confidence for several years,\" he said.\n\n\"For them to go from being home-bound, with the risk of falling, to being able to go on trips to the mall and have vacations is remarkable for me to see.\"\n\nNormal walking involves the brain sending instructions to the legs to move. It then receives signals back when the movement has been completed before sending instructions for the next step.\n\nThe parts of the brain involved with movement (red on the left-hand scan) are not working properly, but three months into the trial those areas are now functioning\n\nProf Jog believes Parkinson's disease reduces the signals coming back to the brain - breaking the loop and causing the patient to freeze.\n\nThe implant his team has developed boosts that signal, enabling the patient to walk normally.\n\nHowever, Prof Jog was surprised that the treatment was long-lasting and worked even when the implant was turned off.\n\nHe believes the electrical stimulus reawakens the feedback mechanism from legs to brain that is damaged by the disease.\n\n\"This is a completely different rehabilitation therapy,\" he said. \"We had thought that the movement problems occurred in Parkinson's patients because signals from the brain to the legs were not getting through.\n\n\"But it seems that it's the signals getting back to the brain that are degraded.\"\n\nBrain scans showed that before patients received the electrical treatment, the areas that control movement were not working properly. But a few months into the treatment those areas were restored.\n\nGail Jardine, 66, is among the patients who has benefited from the treatment.\n\nBefore she received the implant two months ago, Gail kept freezing on the spot, and she would fall over two or three times a day.\n\nShe lost her confidence and stopped walking in the countryside in Kitchener, Ontario - something she loved doing with her husband, Stan.\n\nNow she can walk with Stan in the park for the first time in more than two years.\n\n\"I can walk a lot better,\" she said. \"I haven't fallen since I started the treatment.

He was forced to retire in 2012 because of his Parkinson's disease.\n\nHis greatest regret was that it curtailed his work in the community, such as his prison visits.\n\n\"I was freezing a lot when I was in a crowd or crossing a threshold in a mall. Everyone would be looking at me. It was very embarrassing,\" he told me.\n\n\"Now I can walk in crowds. My wife and I even went on holiday to Maui and I didn't need to use my wheelchair at any point.

so that's the driver,\" Mr Northcott said at the union's annual conference in Belfast.\n\n\"It seems like an ill-conceived response to this pressure.\"\n\nHe said that while attendance at the Easter booster sessions he was aware of was voluntary, it was not clear what sort of message parents were being sent.\n\n\"I think children would be better off in the Easter holidays, absolutely, if they have been set some homework and if that homework is useful and productive, they should be doing that.\n\n\"But they should also be doing enjoyable, engaging things in their own time, with their own friends, spending time with their families, which is all a critical part of a healthy childhood.\"\n\nGeneral secretary Chris Keates said: \"The growing trend of Easter Sats classes in primary schools is a worrying reflection of the high-stakes accountability regime they operate in.\n\n\"Children should be spending Easter with their families and friends, not cramming for Sats.\"\n\nShadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: \"Our pupils are the most tested in the world, but there is no evidence that the current high-stakes testing regime improves teaching and learning.\"\n\nBut Mr Hinds said exam stress at primary school level was not inevitable.\n\n\"All over the world, schools guide children through tests without them feeling pressurised.\n\n\"These are tests of our education system, not our children.\n\n\"No-one has ever been asked for their Sats results when they go to a job interview - why?

For Easter Mass, the chief priest thought well over 1,000 people were in the congregation.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nScores are thought to have been killed at St Anthony's - it's not clear yet how many lost their lives.\n\nAmong those gathered outside the church is Prabath Buddhika. Although Mr Buddhika is Buddhist by religion, like many others, he is a strong believer in the power of St Anthony.\n\n\"My house is right here,\" he said, adding that he'd been attending the church since he was a child and gone along with his family many times.\n\nPrabath Buddhika says he cannot describe the carnage he saw\n\nLike many others, Mr Buddhika ran to the church after hearing the explosions. The carnage he saw there could not be described, he says, but people fearlessly came forward from around the area in order to help.\n\nAmong them was Peter Michael Fernando, a Catholic who lives close to the church. He was asleep when the blast occurred, he says, waking up after his \"bed shook\" with the force of the explosion. He ran towards the church after seeing plumes of smoke rising into the sky.\n\n\"There were bodies and parts of bodies everywhere. I saw there were two people who were still alive so I helped them to an ambulance. I was weeping.\"\n\nMr Fernando says what stayed with him was the number of children he saw among the dead and injured. \"They were screaming, they were bleeding. We tried to help as many as we could. I carried a little girl into one of the vans - she had lost a leg,\" he said, breaking down again.\n\nPeter Michael Fernando says the force of the blast shook him awake\n\nA little distance away stands Anuja Subasinghe, a nurse. She has been staring at the church for a long time.\n\n\"This church is for those who carry unbearable sadness - it gives them solace,\" she says with tears in her eyes. \"Who would do something like this? Why would they do this?\"\n\nShe couldn't come for Sunday's Easter Mass because she had to report for duty, but on Monday morning she felt she needed to be there for the church.\n\n\"My husband died 12 years ago and the only thing that got me through that terrible tragedy was this church,\" she says. \"I didn't need any other man. St Anthony was enough for me.\"\n\nLike Mr Buddhika, Ms Subasinghe was born a Buddhist, but converted to Christianity after discovering the church.\n\nSo what is it about this church and St Anthony in particular that has captured the imagination of so many people?\n\nAccording to Father Leo Perera, a parish priest who serves nearby, part of it is to do with the fact St Anthony's Church has always been associated with miracles.\n\nIn fact, its very origin has been attributed to one.\n\nFather Perera says the attacks will not erode faith in the church\n\nAccording to local legend and the written history of the archdiocesan archives, St Anthony's Church was built by a priest from Cochin in southern India, named Father Antonio. He secretly practised Catholicism during the Dutch rule of Colombo in the 18th Century, although it had been named a proscribed religion.\n\nHe was able to build the church, the legend says, after performing a miracle. The locals had come to him in panic after seeing the sea rising and asked him to pray for it to recede. He did, and the sea not only receded, but a sand bank suddenly emerged from the waters. So he planted a cross there and built a small mud church, in which he remained until his death.\n\nThe other reason, Father Leo says, is the fact that many people have testified that the church has answered prayers and restored faith.\n\n\"Everyone who goes there comes away with the happy feeling that their prayers have been heard,\" he said, adding that on special celebratory feast days, the church was always full of grateful people who had come to give offerings as thanks for having their prayers heard.\n\nBut what next, I ask him? Will the attacks erode people's faith in the power of this church?\n\n\"Absolutely not,\" he says with emotion.\n\n\"You cannot keep people away from here just because of something like this. They will keep coming back because this is the time they want the presence of God in their life. There is no way this will affect the power of this church and the faith of its believers.\"\n\nThis sentiment is echoed by Mr Buddhika.\n\n\"This is no ordinary church. Whoever did this didn't know what they were messing with - they cannot simply get away with something like this.\n\n\"They will pay for this over generations.\"\n\nAnd this is because St Anthony's is so much more than just a place of worship. It is a symbol of Sri Lanka's plurality and tolerance. A reminder that in a country, still bruised by the memories of a brutal civil war and inter-religious violence, its diverse communities have traditionally lived together peacefully and embraced each other's beliefs and differences.\n\nThat perhaps explains why so many of them still came together to stand in front of the church, to express sadness and horror at what took place within.\n\nIn its darkest hour, the church continues to be a symbol of hope - with many Sri Lankans choosing to stand together despite the hatred that has unfolded among them.", "Last updated on .From the section Canoeing\n\nOlympic gold medal-winning canoeist Etienne Stott says he \"does not regret\" his arrest at the climate change protests in London as the world \"needs to turn this catastrophe around\".\n\nThe 39-year-old Briton, who won C2 canoe slalom gold at London 2012, was arrested on Sunday and has now been released under police investigation.\n\nHe is one of 1,065 Extinction Rebellion protestors to have been arrested.\n\n\"I sense that this is a big moment,\" Stott told BBC Sport.\n\n\"I am really quite terrified of the prospects for our society and civilisation if we don't take action on climate change.\n\n\"The sense of emergency of it is just so important that we need to get a hold of this.\n\n\"We are in the situation where we need to turn this catastrophe that we are sleepwalking into around.\"\n\nStott was carried from Waterloo Bridge by Metropolitan Police officers after sitting down on the road.

followed by the fatal stabbing in October of that year of 18-year-old Saif Abdul Magid.\n\nTwo boys, aged 14, were found guilty of his murder, which police said was the result of a simmering dispute.\n\nThe research, carried out alongside University of Cambridge criminologists, found that during 2016-17 the Metropolitan Police recorded 3,506 assaults with a knife where the location of the attack had been identified.\n\nThe stabbings took place in 2,048 of London's 4,835 local census areas - neighbourhoods with a population of about 1,700, which are smaller than council wards.\n\nThe areas of the stabbings were then compared to the known locations of 97 fatal knife attacks in 2017-18.\n\nResults showed 67 of the killings - 69% - occurred where there had been at least one stabbing the previous year.\n\nMr Massey said: \"These findings indicate that officers can be deployed in a smaller number of areas in the knowledge that they will have the best chances there to prevent knife-enabled homicides.\"\n\nProf Lawrence Sherman, who co-authored the study, said although solely focusing on knife crime hot-spots was not a \"panacea\" because many killings happened in areas untouched by stabbings, targeting resources made sense.\n\n\"If assault data forecasts that a neighbourhood is more likely to experience knife homicide, police commanders might consider everything from closer monitoring of school exclusions to localised use of stop-and-search,\" he said.\n\nBut Prof Sherman warned forces needed to improve their data collection processes to distinguish between arrests for carrying or making threats with knives and stabbings.\n\n\"The current definition of knife crime is too broad to be useful,\" he said.\n\n\"Police IT is in urgent need of refinement - instead of just keeping case records for legal uses, the systems should be designed to detect crime patterns for prioritising targets.\n\n\"We need to transform IT from electronic filing cabinets into a daily crime forecasting tool.\"\n\nThe study, published in the Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing, also found 21% of the 590 fatal stabbings in London over a 10-year period were flagged by police as involving gangs.\n\nThe researchers said the figures \"contradict a widespread view that knife-enabled homicides are primarily gang-related\", though in 2017-18 the proportion rose to 29%.\n\nIn response, Cdr David Musker said the Met was \"always open to reviewing and utilising emerging academic research\" and that it supported the Met's own current research.\n\nHe added: \"Any research that can help inform both the short and long-term response to violence is very welcome.\n\n\"We already conduct high-visibility patrols within high-demand areas and hotspots and proactively police high-risk suspects and known offenders as part of our daily policing plans; we also use predictive analytics and mapping to target our patrols and make best use of our resource, prioritising the greatest areas of threat, risk and harm.\n\n\"This is something that the Met, and colleagues across the country, have been developing and utilising to great effect for a number of years.\"\n\nHome Secretary Sajid Javid is due to outline his plans for tackling violent crime in a speech on Monday morning.\n\nMr Javid is expected to say the \"mindset\" of government \"needs to shift\" to combat the issue -

So what are the sticking points and can Labour and the Conservatives reach an agreement?\n\nPublic statements on the talks have tended to be bland, ranging from \"constructive\" and \"serious\" to the slightly more negative: \"We have some way to travel.\"\n\nBehind the scenes, the prospect of a deal, while difficult, is not impossible.\n\nThere is a big incentive for both sides to reach agreement: the avoidance of next month's European elections.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May doesn't want to give a platform to parties such as Nigel Farage's new project which could appeal to Brexit-voting Conservatives.\n\nAnd, frankly, some of her own activists would be conflicted over how, or whether, to vote.\n\nFor Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, awkward questions about a second referendum could be ducked if there is no election campaign.\n\nSo the talks are serious and not just political window dressing, and the fact that Mr Corbyn and Mrs May met on Thursday is significant.\n\nMichael Gove is one of the Conservatives taking part in negotiations\n\nThe Labour leader's policy guru Andrew Fisher joined shadow chancellor John McDonnell for the cross-party talks on Friday.\n\nBut, as I understand it, significant hurdles remain. Some of the detail of possible changes to the Political Declaration - the blueprint for the UK's post-Brexit relationship with the EU - is being discussed.\n\nLabour wants to discuss legally binding changes to the document, future-proofing it, where possible, against a change of Conservative leader.\n\nBroadly speaking, the government would rather do \"the easy bit\" first - discussing legislation to protect workers' rights.\n\nResolving this tension is key to a deal.\n\nLabour is also keen to secure agreement on a customs union. It is flexible on what it would be called - an \"arrangement\", for example - and Mrs May hinted on Thursday that the two sides were close on this.\n\nBut they are not yet close enough.\n\nThe definition of what a customs union/arrangement does is vital to the Labour side.\n\nBut the main constraints to a deal may come from Mrs May and Mr Corbyn's parties, rather than their negotiators.\n\nMany Labour members want another referendum if agreement is reached\n\nIf there is too much compromise on a customs union, Mrs May risks losing more cabinet ministers.\n\nFor Mr Corbyn, the pressure from many Labour members is for him to exact a referendum, in return for passing the deal.\n\nSo far, the prime minister isn't budging on this.\n\nOne way round this obstacle would be to hold a separate vote in Parliament on a referendum, possibly as an amendment to the forthcoming Withdrawal Agreement Bill.\n\nBoth Mrs May and Mr Corbyn - who is not an enthusiast for a public vote - believe this would fall.\n\nBut some of the Labour leader's shadow ministers - including some who are firmly on the Left - are pushing for a referendum, or confirmatory ballot, to be tied explicitly to any Brexit deal.\n\nSo, getting a deal passed would be totally dependent on approving a public vote at the same time.\n\nI am told shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is pressing for a ballot to be part of any final package.\n\nIf, in the end, these difficulties can't be overcome then the hope is that both sides will at least agree a parliamentary process for discussing and voting on options which might finally break the deadlock.", "Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has debated with an empty podium after his rival Volodymyr Zelensky - a TV star and comedian- failed to appear.\n\nMr Poroshenko spoke alone to thousands of people in the capital Kiev's Olympic Stadium.\n\nThe two men had agreed to the televised debate last week, but failed to agree on the date it would take place.\n\nMr Zelensky favoured this coming Friday, two days before they go head to head in the election run-off.\n\nMr Poroshenko, who is trailing his rival after winning just 16% of the first round vote, appears to now be hoping to capitalise on Mr Zelensky's failure to arrive at Kiev's Olympiyskiy Stadium for the televised face-off.\n\nAccording to the BBC's Kiev correspondent Jonah Fisher, the former businessman had wanted the debate to expose the fact his opponent - who has no political experience - had never really articulated a political vision or had his ideas subject to scrutiny.\n\nBut instead the incumbent used his 45-minute wait at the podium to answer journalists' questions, and attack his absent rival.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nMr Poroshenko, who critics say has not done enough to fight issues like corruption in the Eastern European nation, dubbed the election campaign a \"silent movie\", and accused Mr Zelensky of being afraid.\n\n\"If he hides from people again, if he is afraid, we will invite him again.

He had been charged with genocide and other war crimes for his key role in the 1990s wars that tore the Balkans apart.\n\nThey were married for four decades and were almost inseparable until Milosevic's extradition.\n\nWhile Ms Markovic owed her political influence to being his closest confidante, she also had her own political party, the neo-communist Yugoslav United Left (JUL).\n\nPrior to meeting her husband, Ms Markovic had a tormented childhood. Her mother was a Partisan fighter who was captured by the Nazis in 1942.\n\nUnder torture, she apparently gave away secrets. One account suggests that after her release, her own father - Ms Markovic's grandfather - ordered the execution of his daughter for treachery.\n\nIn 2003, Ms Markovic fled Serbia, where she was charged with abuse of power and was suspected of cigarette smuggling and political assassination.\n\nMarkovic and Milosevic met as childhood sweethearts in Milosevic's hometown Pozarevac and married in 1965. Those who knew them often said the couple was brought together sharing tragic family histories - Milosevic's parents both committed suicide, while Markovic's mother was estranged from her husband due to political differences during the World War II.\n\nThey had two children - daughter Marija and son Marko, who has lived in Russia with Markovic. Daughter Marija Milosevic was estranged from the family after her father's death in 2006 and has been living in neighbouring Montenegro.\n\nSerbian opposition parties called her \"Red Witch\" due to her political stance. She fled for Russia after Serbian justice began investigating a corruption case, as well as murders of journalists and political opponents.\n\nMilosevic's brother Borislav, once ambassador to Moscow, reportedly organised the move, as well as asylum for her and her son Marko.", "The Labour Party may have unlawfully discriminated against Jewish people, the UK's human rights watchdog says.\n\nThe Equalities and Human Rights Commission said it was considering launching a formal investigation into anti-Semitism in the party.\n\nThe Labour Party said: \"We completely reject any suggestion the party has acted unlawfully and will be co-operating fully with the EHRC.\"\n\nThe watchdog is asking the party to work with it to improve its processes.\n\nOnce the EHRC's formal letter is received by Labour, the party will have 14 days to respond to the concerns raised.\n\nDepending on the response, the commission can take enforcement action ranging from a voluntary agreement with the party to a full-blown investigation.\n\nIf a formal investigation was launched, the EHRC would request interviews with key figures in the party and have the power to demand access to correspondence, emails and other information to determine how Labour dealt with allegations of anti-Semitic discrimination.\n\nThe action comes in response to complaints from a number of organisations and individuals, including the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.\n\nAn Equality and Human Rights Commission spokesperson said: \"Having received a number of complaints regarding anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, we believe Labour may have unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs.\n\n\"Our concerns are sufficient for us to consider using our statutory enforcement powers.\n\n\"As set out in our enforcement policy, we are now engaging with the Labour Party to give them an opportunity to respond.\"\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

I know they saw a drone.

But critics have pointed out that the UK wishes to have the freedom to diverge from EU rules so it can do deals with other countries - and that makes negotiations more difficult.\n\nIt's not just a trade deal that needs to be sorted out.

Maurizio Sarri's side could also be overtaken by sixth-placed Arsenal, who are three points behind them, when they face Watford on Monday.\n\nSalah, who played for Chelsea when they beat Liverpool in that infamous game in 2014, was the hosts' most dangerous outlet, and could have given them an early lead when his back-post volley was well saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga.\n\nThe Egyptian, who was cheered even more loudly than usual by the Kop after being the subject of discriminatory abuse in a video posted by Chelsea fans last week, also squared to Mane seven minutes before half-time but the Senegalese forward curled wide from 10 yards out.\n\nIt looked like it might be a frustrating afternoon for Salah, who was well marshalled by Chelsea left-back Emerson in the first half. But Liverpool's talisman showed his tenacity to win the ball back before Jordan Henderson clipped across the six-yard box to find Mane for the game's opener.\n\nAnd the shot that doubled the hosts' lead will live long in the memory as one of Anfield's great goals. Not only was it sublime in its execution, but it was hugely significant in the title race, showing Liverpool are not the same side as five years ago.\n\nComing on the day the club marked the 30th anniversary of Hillsborough, the victory gave home fans a huge lift on an emotional afternoon.\n\nDespite their long unbeaten run at Anfield, the defeat continued Chelsea's poor run of form away from Stamford Bridge this season under Sarri. They have now lost seven away games this season.\n\nAfter defending resolutely in the first half, the game could have swung their way had Willian not skewed wide from a quick attack and Hazard done better from a tight angle before the break.\n\nBut as in their 2-0 defeat at Everton last month, when the home team also scored shortly after half-time, Chelsea could not respond. Hazard, who scored the winner in the Carabao Cup tie at Anfield earlier in the season, came closest to replying but his shot cannoned back off the post.\n\nIt is a loss that dents their hopes of reaching next season's Champions League via the top four - although they could still reach it via the Europa League.

And it was made in an attempt to try to challenge Mercedes. But it triggered a set of circumstances that led to Verstappen beating Leclerc to fourth place.\n\nLetting Vettel by cost Leclerc time and ensured Verstappen was closer to him. Vettel was unable to pull away - Leclerc sat just as close to his team leader as the German had to him. And he summed up the situation over the radio by saying: \"Now what?\"\n\nIt was a perceptive comment. With Verstappen just two seconds back, Red Bull triggered the pit-stop period.\n\nThat guaranteed he would pass Leclerc if he had pitted on the next lap, so Ferrari pitted Vettel to protect his position.\n\nVettel kept third - just - and now Ferrari thought about running Leclerc long to give him a tyre advantage later in the race.\n\nBut that did not work either, and Leclerc pitted on lap 22, only five after Verstappen, rejoining now 11 seconds behind the Red Bull solely because of his weaker strategy.\n\nLeclerc began to catch Verstappen and had the lead down to three seconds within 10 laps only for Red Bull to out-think Ferrari again, bringing Verstappen in for a second stop on lap 34.\n\nAgain, Ferrari had to respond with Vettel - and Mercedes then also did to secure Hamilton and Bottas' positions - and again Leclerc was the loser.\n\nHe was briefly into second place, but Bottas soon passed him and Vettel and Verstappen began to haul him in. Ferrari eventually pitted Leclerc on lap 42 and he rejoined now 14 seconds behind Verstappen - too much of a gap to make up in the remaining 16 laps.\n\nCould Ferrari have better protected third and fourth if they had left the cars in their initial order? Is the decision to back Vettel for their title assault the right one?

Players will be grouped in threesomes, with the first group set to start at 12:30 BST.\n\nWoods, trying to win his first major title since the 2008 US Open, will tee off alongside Molinari and Finau in the last threesome at 14:20 BST.\n\nThe 14-time major winner said he would get up \"around 03:45 or 04:00\" local time to prepare for his 09:20 start.\n\n\"Usually the reward for playing hard and doing all the things correctly, you get a nice little sleep-in come Sunday, but that's not the case,\" Woods said.\n\n\"We've got to get up early and get after it. It will be interesting to see if that wind comes up like it's forecast - 15-20mph around this golf course is going to be testy.\"\n\nThere will be uninterrupted live coverage of the final day on BBC Two from 13:55 BST, with additional coverage starting at 12:30 online.\n\nMolinari went quietly about his business, making two birdies on the first nine, and a run of four from the 12th on the second nine. The roars were appreciative, rather than loud.\n\nThe 36-year-old Italian's previous best Masters finish was a tie for 19th back in 2012 but he has now gone 43 holes without dropping a shot, and that is champion material.\n\nHe did not make a bogey in his final 37 holes when he won The Open at Carnoustie last July. He played with Woods in the final round there but playing with Woods at Augusta, even with a two-shot start, will be a very different challenge.\n\nMolinari, who also beat Woods three times alongside Tommy Fleetwood in the 2018 Ryder Cup, said: \"I wish I only had to worry about him but there are a few more that are going to try to shoot a low round so it's going to be exciting.\n\n\"I played slightly better on Friday but mentally I was very good.\n\n\"There were two big putts on four and five to save pars and I played the back nine as well as I've played it. And then there was a good par save on 18, it was nice to keep another clean scorecard.\"\n\nWoods parred the first four holes before dropping a shot at the newly extended par-four fifth for the third day running.\n\nHowever, three birdies at the next three holes got the 14-time major winner, and the patrons, interested. The roar that greeted his next birdie at the par-five 13th echoed across the course.\n\nPatrons were still streaming down the hill on the 15th when he holed a short birdie putt, after a deft chip from the back of the green. The volume that greeted that was up a further notch.\n\nThose without seats shuffled round to the 16th green, hundreds jammed in to a tiny corner. Most can't have seen the tee shot, fewer still where it landed but the ear-splitting whoops and hollers told you it was close.\n\nThey say there is no roar like a Tiger roar at Augusta. And the one that followed his tap-in birdie at 16 reverberated around the Georgia pines. Nobody on the course could have missed that one.\n\nThis is the fifth time Woods has shot 205 or fewer after three rounds at the Masters. He won the previous four.\n\nWoods said he gave himself a talking to between the fifth green and sixth tee. \"It was simple,\" he explained. \"Just be patient and let the round build. The goal was to make sure I got to double digits and I did that.\n\n\"It's been a while since I've been in contention here, but then again the last two majors counts for something,\" said Woods, who briefly led on the final day of the 2018 Open and finished runner-up to Koepka in the 2018 US PGA Championship.\n\nFinau finished joint 10th last year despite dislocating his ankle when celebrating a hole-in-one during the par-three contest.\n\nThere were no such exuberant celebrations on Saturday, despite the 29-year-old opening his round with three successive birdies. Another birdie followed on the sixth before an eagle on the eighth took him right into the mix on nine under.\n\nHe narrowly missed a birdie putt on the ninth that was to set a new record of 29 strokes for the first nine.\n\nAnd like many, he took advantage of the two par fives on the second nine to improve his score to 11 under, on a day of hot sun, light wind and low scoring all round.\n\n'Best golf ever seen at Augusta'\n\nThe 65 players to make the cut scored a cumulative 80 under par, which is thought to be the lowest scoring on a single day at the Masters.\n\n\"There has been some amazing golf today with three 64s,\" said BBC Sport expert Ken Brown. \"We have seen some of the best golf I have ever seen at Augusta.\"\n\nAnd BBC commentator Peter Alliss added: \"They played some shots today that I can't believe. I think 'you can't reach this hole with a driver, a seven or an eight iron' but they do.\"\n\n'The oldies are doing not so bad' - Poulter\n\nPoulter, who was playing with fellow 43-year-old Woods, opened with seven pars and two birdies and holed three more on his second nine, his only bogey coming on the 11th.\n\nIt was a terrific round from Poulter considering he also had to deal with being in the bubble of a super-charged Augusta crowd who are willing Woods to break his decade-long major drought.\n\n\"It's always loud when Tiger makes birdies, but when you're in contention at the Masters you'd probably pick Tiger Woods to play alongside. He was good fun to play with,\" said Poulter.\n\n\"The oldies are doing not so bad, so I might have a 3.5% chance now,\" he added, referring to a stat he said he heard on television that players aged 43 have only a 3% chance of winning the Masters.\n\nWebb Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion, was another of the three to post a 64 - one shot off the course record jointly held by Nick Price and Greg Norman - as he moved to nine under, level with Poulter.\n\nThey will play the final round with Koepka who had four bogeys in a 69.\n\nWorld number two Dustin Johnson is among five players on eight under after a 70, while Rickie Fowler shot 68 to reach seven under.\n\nEngland's Fleetwood had a solid 70 to move to four under, alongside 2015 Masters champion Jordan Spieth who has picked up seven shots in two rounds following an opening 75.\n\nBut Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy told BBC Sport he made \"too many mistakes\" as his hopes of winning a first Masters title disappeared with a one-under 71 that left him one under par for the tournament.\n• None How to follow the Masters across the BBC\n• None Sign up to get golf news sent to your phone", "Frank Sidebottom's absurd humour made him a fan favourite in the 1980s and 90s\n\nIntelligence agency GCHQ has cracked secret codes hidden by the man behind cult comedy character Frank Sidebottom.\n\nChris Sievey drew cryptic symbols in artwork around the borders of some of Frank's fan newsletters, football programmes and record and tape sleeves.\n\nSievey died in 2010 and the codes remained secret until the director of a new documentary took them to GCHQ.\n\nA crack team of codebreakers revealed that the messages said things like: \"Why does my nose hurt after concerts?\"\n\nThat's a reference to the nose peg Sievey wore under Sidebottom's giant head to give the character his trademark nasal voice.\n\nThe border around this panel from a cassette inlay translates as: \"Why does my nose hurt after concerts?\"\n\nSievey, from Manchester, told friends and family he was hiding important messages in code.\n\nDirector Steve Sullivan, whose film Being Frank tells the story of Sievey and Sidebottom, took the rows of symbols to several codebreakers, but none could help.\n\nSullivan told BBC News: \"My own attempts to crack it proved absolutely futile. I spent a while just looking at them going, 'What could he be saying, what could this mean?'\n\n\"But it was impossible to crack them, and it was entirely plausible that there wasn't a code there and that he was just winding people up.\"\n\nThe border of Sidebottom's newsletter Com 13 translates as: \"The Man From Fish EP is top secret\"\n\nIn an attempt to solve the mystery, Sullivan eventually turned to GCHQ.\n\nThe country's top codebreakers too seemed flummoxed until Sievey's son Stirling recalled how his dad would get the children to fill an outer row with random symbols, while Sievey would insert real code into the inner row.\n\n\"It meant the outer row triangles is a complete red herring,\" Sullivan said. \"Not only did he put a mystery out there, he made it deliberately impossible to crack.\n\n\"By letting his kids add nonsense into the message, it deliberately obscures the chances of anybody - even top mathematicians - being able to crack it. So I reported back to GCHQ that the outer ring is a red herring and then had an email one day saying, 'Right, we've cracked it during a light-hearted training exercise.'\n\n\"I'm embarrassed to say, on the very next day Chris's very own code grid was found in the back of his address book. It was almost like Chris Sievey was going, 'There you go, now we've all had our fun, there's the explanation.'\"\n\nChris Sievey: The man behind the mask\n\nGCHQ told Sullivan that Sidebottom \"had a small but dedicated following\" among its staff. Noticing some repeated pairs of symbols - which represented letters - the first word cracked by GCHQ boffins was Sidebottom's favourite word, \"bobbins\".\n\nThe full messages didn't turn out to be crucial to national security. They were \"a combination of slightly autobiographical statements and silly statements about Frank's world\", Sullivan said.\n\nAs well as \"Why does my nose hurt after concerts?\", another typical code translated as: \"The Man From Fish EP is top secret.\"\n\nSullivan said he has \"absolutely no idea\" what that means.\n\nSievey never told his fans about the existence of the codes, despite the fact that the symbols were inserted into newsletters, music sleeves and football programmes for Timperley Big Shorts, his Sunday league team.\n\n\"It was just an exercise in wilful absurdity, which is why he was doing it,\" Sullivan said. \"But then all of his work was an exercise in wilful obscurity and absurdity. I think he loved the idea that he was putting communication out but people didn't even know he was communicating.\"\n\nGCHQ is home to the UK's top codebreakers and other intelligence personnel\n\nGCHQ had \"a great sense of humour about the whole investigation\", the director added.\n\nA GCHQ spokesperson said: \"As the national authority for cryptanalysis, we're sometimes sent codes which the team will test themselves with in their spare time.\n\n\"They provide us with a great challenge and help build the skills we need to keep the country safe.\n\n\"With its colourful drawings and striking patterns, this code caught our eye and it was satisfying to be able to break it.\"\n\nAll of Sidebottom's codes will be available for fans to work out for themselves when Being Frank is released on DVD on 29 April.\n\nFollow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Carson has been described as \"bright and caring\"\n\nPolice are investigating whether the use of illegal drugs caused the death of a 13-year-old boy.\n\nCarson Price, of Hengoed, Caerphilly, was found unconscious in Ystrad Mynach Park at about 19:20 BST on Friday.\n\nThe teenager was taken to University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff where he was pronounced dead.\n\nHis family paid tribute, saying he was \"the best big brother\" who would be missed by many.\n\nGwent Police is treating the boy's death as unexplained and specialists are working to determine the exact cause of death.\n\nDet Ch Insp Sam Payne said: \"Although we await official medical confirmation of the cause of death, one of our main lines of enquiry focuses on illegal substances being a contributing factor.\n\n\"Specialist officers continue to support Carson's family through this difficult time.\"\n\nIt comes after Tatum Chynene Price, Carson's mother, posted a comment on Gwent Police's Facebook page pleading for help finding whoever supplied her son with drugs.\n\nCarson's mother Tatum Chynene Price pleaded with people to help find who sold her son drugs\n\nIn a statement, his family said: \"Carson was bright and caring, kind and loving, he was a cheeky little boy.\n\n\"He was the best big brother and was loved and will be missed by so many.\"\n\nCouncillor Martyn James said the community was \"tight\" and would support the boy's family\n\nA local councillor expressed his sympathies with Carson's family, adding that he hoped his death would deter other youngsters from taking drugs.\n\n\"If it is a drug-related passing, I just hope that young people realise that you shouldn't really deal with drugs,\" Councillor Martyn James said.\n\n\"You have got to leave it alone because unfortunately -

Brexit: Cake factory would grind to halt without cream cheese\n\nLola's Cupcakes is one company which decided it needed to build up stocks of essential items ahead of Brexit.\n\nIn its case, it was cream cheese.\n\nAsher Budwig, managing director, said the company had identified the ingredient as one at risk from Brexit. Others might have been chocolate or butter.\n\nThere would be \"no cheese cakes, no decorations on cupcakes\" if ferries stopped getting through ports, he told BBC.\n\nThe company bought £35,000 of stock - that does not include storage costs - through its supplier which obtains the product from Germany.\n\n\"They [the supplier] spoke to the factory in Germany, they produced a lot more, ten times what we would normally go through in a given week,\" he said.\n\n\"It's being held down in Somerset,\" he said.\n\nMonth-on-month growth in the industrial production sector was 0.6% in February, with manufacturing increasing 0.9%, the ONS said.\n\nSamuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the activity in this sector was the main reason the economy had grown more quickly than expected.\n\nHe said this might be \"due to a temporary boost to production which will unwind\" in the second quarter of the year.\n\nConstruction output also rose faster than expected, perhaps because of the warmer than usual weather in February, he added.\n\nRuth Gregory, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, also highlighted these areas as the main surprises in the data.\n\nBut she said: \"Growth does not appear to have been significantly boosted by stockpiling ahead of Brexit.\"\n\nInstead, she said that while businesses have been stockpiling it is because they have been importing more. Imports rose by 5.3% in the three months to February while exports rose just 0.8%, according to the ONS.\n\nShe said: \"Admittedly, the Brexit chaos may have sapped the economy of its momentum in March, as that is when the Brexit uncertainty has been greatest.\n\n\"All told, though, the solid growth rate in the three months to February should ease immediate fears of the economy stalling or contracting in the first quarter and provides support to our view that the economy is well placed to cope with whatever Brexit throws up next,\" she said.\n\nMr Tombs said he was revising up his forecast for growth in the first quarter to 0.4% from 0.3%, which indicates annual growth of between 1.8% and 2%. This could point to a rate rise from the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee.\n\n\"So the data, together with strong wage growth, put renewed pressure on the MPC to follow through on its commitment to an 'ongoing tightening of monetary policy', despite continued Brexit uncertainty,\" he said.", "Cherry blossom represents the nature of life and a season of renewal in Japanese culture.\n\nLast year, the season attracted nearly five million people and boosted the economy by about $2.7 billion, according to figures from Bloomberg.\n\nEach spring, \"Hanami\", or \"flower viewing\", events and festivals are held, with many people picnicing under the trees to enjoy the flowers' transient beauty.", "Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson says his train business could disappear from the UK after its partner Stagecoach was barred from three rail franchise bids.\n\nSir Richard, whose Virgin Trains is 49% owned by Stagecoach, said he was \"devastated\" by the disqualification.\n\nThe Department for Transport (DfT) disallowed the bids because they did not meet pensions rules.\n\nVirgin was bidding to renew the West Coast franchise in partnership with Stagecoach and France's SNCF.\n\nStagecoach had also applied for the East Midlands and South Eastern franchises, both of which have been rejected.\n\nIn a blog on Virgin's corporate website, Sir Richard said Virgin Trains \"could be gone from the UK in November\".\n\n\"We're baffled why the DfT did not tell us that we would be disqualified or even discuss the issue - they have known about this qualification in our bid on pensions for months,\" he wrote.\n\n\"The pensions regulator has warned that more cash will be needed in the future, but no one knows how big that bill might eventually be and no responsible company could take that risk with pensions.\n\n\"We can't accept a risk we can't manage - this would have been reckless.

It is regrettable that they submitted non-compliant bids for all current competitions which breached established rules and, in doing so, they are responsible for their own disqualification.\n\n\"Stagecoach chose to propose significant changes to the commercial terms for the East Midlands, West Coast Partnership and South Eastern contracts, leading to bids which proposed a significantly different deal to the ones on offer.\n\nWhile Stagecoach has played an important role in the UK railways industry, \"it is entirely for Stagecoach and their bidding partners to explain why they decided to repeatedly ignore established rules by rejecting the commercial terms on offer\".\n\nStagecoach, which also has a huge bus division, currently operates the East Midlands rail franchise between London St Pancras International and destinations including Leicester, Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Liverpool.\n\nAs well as its stake in Virgin Rail, Stagecoach also runs the Sheffield Supertram.\n\nStagecoach's East Coast franchise was renationalised last year following poor performance and mounting losses.", "Shana Grice was murdered by her ex-boyfriend who stalked her\n\nThree police officers are facing disciplinary action over the case of a woman who was fined for wasting police time when she reported the stalker ex who went on to murder her.\n\nShana Grice, 19, reported Michael Lane five times before he slit her throat and tried to burn her body.\n\nHer parents slammed Sussex Police for \"treating her like a criminal\", adding the action was \"too little too late\".\n\nA report found stalking cases were not being properly investigated.\n\nTwo officers - one retired - will face gross misconduct proceedings at public hearings in May.\n\nSharon Grice and Richard Green said: \"Our daughter took her concerns to the police and instead of being protected was treated like a criminal.

They have been dated to between 67,000 years and 50,000 years ago.\n\nThey consist of thirteen remains - teeth, hand and foot bones, as well as part of a femur - that belong to at least three adult and juvenile individuals. They have been recovered in excavations at the cave since 2007.\n\nHomo luzonensis has some physical similarities to recent humans, but in other features hark back to the australopithecines, upright-walking ape-like creatures that lived in Africa between two and four million years ago, as well as very early members of the genus Homo.\n\nThe finger and toe bones are curved, suggesting climbing was still an important activity for this species. This also seems to have been the case for some australopithecines.\n\nThe teeth of Homo luzonensis are consistent with the remains being assigned to a new species\n\nIf australopithecine-like species were able to reach South-East Asia, it would change the way our ideas about who in our human family tree left Africa first.\n\nHomo erectus has long thought to have been the first member of our direct line to leave the African homeland - around 1.9 million years ago.\n\nAnd given that Luzon was only ever accessible by sea, the find raises questions about how pre-human species might have reached the island.\n\nIn addition to Homo luzonensis, island South-East Asia also appears to have been home to another human species called the Denisovans, who appear to have interbred with early modern humans (Homo sapiens) when they arrived in the region.\n\nCallao Cave, in the north of Luzon, is open to tourists\n\nThis evidence comes from analysis of DNA, as no known Denisovan fossils have been found in the region.\n\nThe Indonesian island of Flores was home to a species called Homo floresiensis, nicknamed The Hobbits because of their small stature. They are thought to have survived there from at least 100,000 years ago until 50,000 years ago - potentially overlapping with the arrival of modern humans.\n\nInterestingly, scientists have also argued that Homo floresiensis shows physical features that are reminiscent of those found in australopithecines. But other researchers have argued that the Hobbits were descended from Homo erectus but that some of their anatomy reverted to a more primitive state.\n\nIn an article published in Nature, Matthew Tocheri from Lakehead University in Canada, who was not involved with the research, commented: \"Explaining the many similarities that H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis share with early Homo species and australopiths as independently acquired reversals to a more ancestral-like hominin anatomy, owing to evolution in isolated island settings, seems like a stretch of coincidence too far.\"", "The plant at Sullom Voe takes North Sea gas and pipes it to the national gas grid\n\nThe operators of the Shetland Gas Plant have been given four months to show its shift patterns for workers are safe.\n\nThe Health and Safety Executive has served the improvement notice on the French oil company Total.\n\nIt said Total had failed to demonstrate that it had properly assessed potential fatigue risk arising from current or proposed shift patterns at Sullom Voe.\n\nShift patterns at the plant have also been subject to an ongoing industrial dispute with the Unite union.\n\nThe HSE said no specified risks to safety had been identified, but the workers involved were employed in environments where mistakes could lead to major accidents.\n\nTotal has been given until the end of August to carry out the risk assessment and mitigate any threat to the safety of workers or the environment that may arise.\n\nThe current shift pattern of two weeks on, three weeks off rota and proposals to change that to three weeks on, three off, three on, four off rota, are to be assessed.\n\nThe Unite union welcomed the report and said it showed Total \"must take immediate steps to scrap these new rotas and return to safe working practices\".\n\nSpokesman John Clark said: \"We have consistently highlighted that issues such as ill-health and fatigue induced by long hours and periods of work could result in major incidents.\n\n\"However, Unite's concerns have been completely ignored by industry and new contracts have instead been imposed on the offshore workforce.\"\n\nA spokesman for Total said the company was \"committed to ensuring that shift working patterns at the Shetland Gas Plant (SGP) are safe\".\n\nHe added: \"We are in the process of thoroughly assessing the proposed work patterns in accordance with our procedures, with a focus on the specific conditions at the SGP and on fatigue risk management.\n\n\"Provided fatigue risks are adequately controlled, we believe that the proposed work pattern will enhance safety.\n\n\"We will continue to work with the HSE, our safety representatives and affected personnel in order to ensure that any fatigue risks are adequately managed and controlled.\"\n\nThe Shetland Gas Plant is said by operator Total to be capable of supplying energy to two million homes.\n\nThe plant at Sullom Voe began processing gas from the vast Laggan and Tormore fields, north west of Shetland, in February 2016.\n\nA pipeline takes the gas to the UK mainland and into the national gas grid.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Corrin said she \"will strive to do her justice\"\n\nNewcomer Emma Corrin has been cast as Princess Diana in the fourth season of The Crown.\n\nNetflix confirmed the decision in a press release, adding filming will begin later this year.\n\nIn an accompanying quote, Corrin said she was \"beyond excited\" to be joining the show -

No-one can dispute that this was a first-leg advantage the home team totally merited.\n\nThe much-maligned Lloris, understandably criticised after his late error at Liverpool recently, was a hero here but Spurs had them all over the pitch.\n\nHarry Winks gave a performance of real maturity in midfield and when Kane went off it was the talismanic figure of Son who again showed his liking for his new surroundings with the winner - after scoring the first Premier League goal here against Crystal Palace.\n\nThe South Korean is the ideal modern attacker: tireless, unselfish but with an eye for goal and a willingness to take responsibility, which he did here as he led the charge after Kane's departure, culminating in the turn back from the byeline and shot underneath Ederson to give Spurs a precious lead to protect at Etihad Stadium.\n\nSpurs look certain to have to overcome the absence of Kane in the second leg but a lead - and of great significance, a clean sheet - will see them travel north with justified optimism.\n\nCan Man City keep quadruple on track?\n\nPep Guardiola cut an agitated figure throughout as Manchester City spluttered and failed to find anything near top gear. City and their manager can have no complaints about this outcome.\n\nGuardiola's team selection raised plenty of eyebrows and the selection of Delph at left-back left City with a huge flaw. He struggled to cope with Son all night, switching off to great cost as the South Korean chased a ball to the byeline unchallenged.\n\nRiyad Mahrez looks poor value at £60m and the introductions of Leroy Sane and Kevin de Bruyne smacked of too little too late.\n\nCan City turn this tie around and keep their quadruple bid on track? Yes they can - and while it is of little consolation, it is at least better than the 3-0 deficit that proved too much to overhaul in another all-English Champions League quarter-final last season against Liverpool last season.\n\nHowever, they must show more urgency and more of their trademark attacking brilliance to succeed.\n\nSpurs will almost certainly be missing Kane but they also have a clean sheet so City must attack while also being aware they must not slip up at the back and risk falling foul of the away goals rule.\n\nThe stage is set for a dramatic second leg.\n\n'He could be out for the rest of the season' - what they said\n\nTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BT Sport: \"It was an unbelievable game. It was so tough. But it is still Manchester City and there is a second leg. We are happy as we showed great quality. The performance was good but there's still 90 minutes to go.\n\n\"It was a really good game. We were all excited. It's a quarter-final of the Champions League. The penalty save I think gave the belief to us. I think there were many positive things. In the spirit we played today, everything possible.\n\nOn Harry Kane's injury: \"We need to check tomorrow but looks like it is the same ankle and similar injury. It is very sad and very disappointing. We are going to miss him - maybe for the rest of the season. It is a worry for us. We hope it is not a big issue. But there is not to much time to recover. He twisted his ankle so we will see how it reacts in a few hours.\"\n\n\"Fabian Delph was very disappointed but he didn't realise Harry's intention was not to tackle him. In the action, both were very strong. But both didn't have the intention to make damage to another. That was why Fabian was trying to talk to him. Both were fighting for the ball.\"\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport: \"There are always key moments in football. It is the Champions League and the result is what it is.\n\n\"We played well and we were controlling the game. We had our chances with the penalty so it was a good performance but it is the Champions League and that is the challenge.\"\n\nOn Sergio Aguero's penalty miss: \"Next time we will score.

In fact United did not muster a single shot on target.\n\nBarcelona still posed a threat, with David de Gea saving from Philippe Coutinho and Messi - and United must now repeat their last-16 heroics against Paris St-Germain in France when they travel to the Nou Camp chasing a semi-final spot against Liverpool or Porto.\n\nManchester United's players took the applause of Old Trafford - but it was acknowledgment of a plucky effort rather than praise for any serious quality.\n\nUnited had excellent performers, with youngster Scott McTominay delivering a performance of real maturity, but the bottom line was that they barely laid a glove on Barcelona all night.\n\nAnd the frustration for the Premier League side will be that this should be regarded as a missed opportunity because Barcelona were light years away from their flowing best here.\n• None We can score in Barcelona, says Man Utd boss Solskjaer\n\nThis was the first time United have failed to have a shot on target in a Champions League game since March 2005, when they lost away to AC Milan.\n\nSolskjaer and his side are left hoping for the same sort of miracle that saw them overcome a 2-0 home defeat to come through the last 16 against PSG - but lightning does not usually strike twice, Barcelona are a superior side and the Red Devils have won only once in the Nou Camp, when they beat Bayern Munich there in the 1999 Champions League final.\n\nUnited will summon up those spirits but this is very much odds against once more.\n\nBarcelona have glittered in the Champions League for years. This was a night for the grind and they got the job done. It was undistinguished, unspectacular, but done all the same.\n\nSuarez got his goal but was only an intermittent threat while Messi occasionally flashed but was often on the margins, not helped by sustaining a facial injury in a first-half challenge by Chris Smalling.\n\nCoutinho showed glimpses of the brilliance that made him such a precious commodity but this was a night when Barcelona played well within themselves.\n\nThere was little in the way of celebration from their players at the final whistle as they knew their performance was poor but it was still a giant stride towards the semi-final, and they will be satisfied by how they totally nullified United.\n\n'We are still in this tie' - what they said\n\nManchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: \"There were pluses and negatives. We started sloppy and a bit nervous. After their goal we settled and played well.\n\n\"We had very good individual performances in midfield. At times it felt like a proper United team - the crowd were behind us, we got out wide and got crosses in.\n\n\"We didn't start great, but it was a great goal and movement from Messi and Suarez but they're fortunate it comes off Luke Shaw. It's a blow but we settled well. We're still in this tie.\"\n\nBarcelona manager Ernesto Valverde said: \"It's a good feeling because it's a decent result. We know it's still tight and there is a second game to come. We know they can react away from home and they did well against PSG. It was a very tough game and what we expected. There were moments where we suffered but we are happy.\"\n\nFormer United and current Barcelona defender Gerard Pique: \"After seeing the PSG game, you do not have to trust the result - they came in Paris with a better result and look what happened.

In turn, he forged contacts with online criminals from China and the USA to help shift the cash.\n\nQaiser was filmed cashing in some of his money at a casino\n\nOver 18 months, the teenager posed as a legitimate supplier of online promotions and booked advertising space on some of the world's most popular legal pornography websites.\n\nBut each of the adverts that was promoted on the websites contained a malicious tool called the \"Angler\".\n\nAny visitor to the adult site who clicked on one of Qaiser's fake adverts would trigger the download to their own computer of the attack kit.\n\nIf the home computer was not protected with up-to-date anti-virus software, the Angler would search for vulnerabilities and, if possible, deliver the \"ransomware\" that seized control of the machine.\n\nIt immediately splashed a full screen message to the user, purportedly from the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, accusing the user of breaking the law - warning them they faced up to three years unless they paid an immediate fine equivalent to roughly $200 or £100.\n\n\"Out of fear of embarrassment from friends or family members discovering they had accessed pornography, many users paid the ransom,\" prosecutor Joel Smith told Kingston Crown Court.\n\n\"For obvious reasons very few people complained to law enforcement officials.\"\n\nFBI scam: Victims saw a different bogus law enforcement page depending on their location\n\nTo make thing worse, the warning page claimed that police had captured webcam images of the user during their visit to the adult website - and gave a deadline for the payment to be made.\n\nThe National Crime Agency says that it's impossible to know exactly how many people paid up - but forensic data has revealed Qaiser's operation was enormous.\n\nOne screen grab from his control system reveals that he made £11,000 in July 2014 alone.\n\nQaiser's \"control panel\" showed his ransom demands hit 16,000 PCs in just one month\n\nIn a sampling exercise, the NCA calculated just one of the fake adverts appeared on 21 million web browsers every month - including 870,000 appearances on pornography pages accessed in the UK.\n\nIn turn, the attack kit would have been downloaded on approximately 165,000 PCs. Some 5% of those - about 8,000 users - were likely to have fallen victim to the ransom demand.\n\nFinancial investigators have established that Qaiser's operations shifted at least £4m through a string of crypto-currency platforms - although a great deal of these profits were ploughed back into the scam by buying more and more advertising space.\n\nThe NCA's financial investigators identified that the former computer sciences student had personally received almost £550,000 by the time of his arrest.\n\nDuring the lengthy investigation while he was on bail, detectives found he received a further £100,000 as his associates moved funds through Gibraltar and Belize to a UK-accessible online account.\n\nQaiser is believed to have more stashed in online crypto-currencies because he revealed in online chats that he has further \"offshore savings\".\n\nHe was also filmed in an internet cafe\n\nMike Hulett, head of cyber investigations at the National Crime agency, said: \"We regard Zain Qaiser as probably the most significant cyber crime offender that the NCA has investigated.\n\n\"The sheer volume and complexity of the actions - the number of people he is connected with worldwide and the frequency of his operation made it so successful and led to him making the money that he did.\n\n\"I don't think we will ever know the true number of people who paid up.\"\n\nDuring his offending, Qaiser had no legal income - but he maintained a high-rolling lifestyle.\n\nHe spent almost £5,000 on a Rolex watch and £2,000 on a stay in a Chelsea hotel. He regularly spent money on prostitutes, drugs and gambling, including almost £70,000 in a casino in an upmarket shopping centre.\n\nWhile it appears that no users of adult websites directly alerted police anywhere in the world, the advertising brokers who unwittingly placed Qaiser's malware promotions did.\n\nWhen a Canadian company selling advertising space asked Qaiser to stop, he launched a massive cyber attack against it, causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage to the business.\n\n\"Really, it's just better if we work together,\" warned Qaiser in one message to the broker.\n\n\"We can make some serious money together. It's my way or no way. The K!NG is back.\"\n\nElizabeth Lambert, defending, said that Qaiser had suffered from bouts of mental illness and was influenced by older, more experienced organised cyber criminals.\n\nQaiser initially denied the crimes and claimed he had been hacked, before pleading guilty to 11 charges - including blackmail, fraud, computer offences and possessing criminal property.\n\nThe ransomware offences were committed between 2012 and 2014.", "Ms Ardern spoke about the injuries victims of the Christchurch attacks received, as the New Zealand parliament voted to ban all types of semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles.\n\n\"These weapons were designed to kill, and they were designed to maim and that is what they did on the 15th of March,\" Ms Ardern said.", "Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have developed a new formula to quickly calculate the temperature of a black hole.\n\nThey say it is simple and powerful, and offers fundamental insights into space and time.\n\nThe formula owes its origin to observations made on the Union Canal near Edinburgh 185 years ago.\n\nThe idea that black holes have temperatures at all came as something of a surprise to researchers.\n\nThey have so much mass and exert a gravitational pull so strong that nothing - not even heat or light - was expected to escape.\n\nIn 1974, at the age of just 32, he proposed the concept of what is now called Hawking radiation.\n\nHe predicted black holes would emit thermal radiation and gradually evaporate.\n\nThis is still at the frontiers of theory, with different schools of thought on the exact process.\n\nOne major issue is calculating how much radiation a black hole gives out.\n\nAt Heriot-Watt, Dr Fabio Biancalana and his colleagues have come up with their new formula to quickly and precisely calculate the Hawking radiation temperature from any kind of black hole.\n\nDr Biancalala says they tested it against all published types of black holes - whether static, rotating, charged or even more exotic - and it always produced the exact Hawking temperature.\n\nA coffee mug and a doughnut are the same in topological terms\n\nThe key is the mathematical discipline of topology.\n\nIt deals with the properties of space - and not just outer space.\n\nTopology treats things according to the fundamental properties they possess, even if they are bent, crushed, folded or otherwise deformed. Tearing, cutting, gluing or poking holes would be cheating.\n\nOne celebrated example is a coffee mug and a doughnut.\n\nIn topological terms, they are the same. That's because each is a lump of stuff with a single hole in it. In theory you could even squish the mug into the shape of a doughnut if you fancied (provided you didn't mind how it tasted).\n\n\"We discovered that only the topology of black holes matters when it comes to determining Hawking radiation,\" says Dr Biancalana.\n\n\"Not the size, not the electric charge, the spacetime in which they are embedded, or how they spin around their axis.\n\n\"Black holes can be physically very different, but if they have the same topology they will emit the same amount of Hawking radiation.\"\n\nIn effect the new formula counts the holes of a black hole and the spacetime that surrounds it (yes, even black holes have holes in them).\n\nThis information is enough to determine the temperature.\n\n\"For years scientists have been theorising about four dimensions and whether space has more dimensions we are still ignorant of, and now we know only two dimensions really matter in the description of all these astronomical monsters.\"\n\nWhich leads us to the banks of the Union Canal, not too far from the Heriot-Watt campus on the outskirts of Edinburgh.\n\nIt was there that the Scottish engineer John Scott Russell first described what he called a \"wave of translation\" - a solitary wave that kept its shape while travelling at a constant speed.\n\nHe hoped his work would lead to a better canal barge. These days - now called solitons - these waves are important in laser physics and fibre optics.\n\nThe Heriot-Watt team realised that, as solitons and black holes shared identical mathematical properties, Hawking radiation would follow the same rules.\n\nDr Biancalana says it takes us a step closer to understanding how the universe works.\n\n\"This must mean something fundamental about space and time,\" he says.\n\n\"Now we just need to find out what.\"", "The first ever picture of a black hole: It's surrounded by a halo of bright gas\n\nAstronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.\n\nIt measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as \"a monster\".\n\nThe black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.\n\nDetails have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.\n\nIt was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight linked telescopes.\n\nProf Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.\n\n\"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System,\" he said.\n\n\"It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. M87: The significance of the first ever image of a black hole\n\nThe image shows an intensely bright \"ring of fire\", as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by superheated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined - which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth.\n\nThe edge of the dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.\n\nAstronomers have suspected that the M87 galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its heart from false colour images such as this one. The dark centre is not a black hole but indicates that stars are densely packed and fast moving\n\nThe image matches what theoretical physicists and indeed, Hollywood directors, imagined black holes would look like, according to Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London - who is part of the EHT collaboration.\n\n\"Although they are relatively simple objects, black holes raise some of the most complex questions about the nature of space and time, and ultimately of our existence,\" he said.\n\n\"It is remarkable that the image we observe is so similar to that which we obtain from our theoretical calculations. So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again.\"\n\nBut having the first image will enable researchers to learn more about these mysterious objects. They will be keen to look out for ways in which the black hole departs from what's expected in physics. No-one really knows how the bright ring around the hole is created. Even more intriguing is the question of what happens when an object falls into a black hole.\n\nProf Falcke had the idea for the project when he was a PhD student in 1993. At the time, no-one thought it was possible. But he was the first to realise that a certain type of radio emission would be generated close to and all around the black hole, which would be powerful enough to be detected by telescopes on Earth.\n\nHe also recalled reading a scientific paper from 1973 that suggested that because of their enormous gravity, black holes appear 2.5 times larger than they actually are.\n\nThese two factors suddenly made the seemingly impossible, possible. After arguing his case for 20 years, Prof Falcke persuaded the European Research Council to fund the project. The National Science Foundation and agencies in East Asia then joined in to bankroll the project to the tune of more than £40m.\n\nThe eventual EHT array will have 12 widely spaced participating radio facilities\n\nIt is an investment that has been vindicated with the publication of the image. Prof Falcke told me that he felt that \"it's mission accomplished\".\n\nHe said: \"It has been a long journey, but this is what I wanted to see with my own eyes. I wanted to know is this real?\"\n\nNo single telescope is powerful enough to image the black hole. So, in the biggest experiment of its kind, Prof Sheperd Doeleman of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics led a project to set up a network of eight linked telescopes. Together, they form the Event Horizon Telescope and can be thought of as a planet-sized array of dishes.\n\nKatie Bouman is the MIT student who developed the algorithm that pieced together the data from the EHT. Without her contribution the project would not have been possible.\n\nEach is located high up at a variety of exotic sites, including on volcanoes in Hawaii and Mexico, mountains in Arizona and the Spanish Sierra Nevada, in the Atacama Desert of Chile, and in Antarctica.\n\nA team of 200 scientists pointed the networked telescopes towards M87 and scanned its heart over a period of 10 days.\n\nThe information they gathered was too much to be sent across the internet. Instead, the data was stored on hundreds of hard drives that were flown to central processing centres in Boston, US, and Bonn, Germany, to assemble the information. Katie Bouman a PhD student at MIT developed an algorithm that pieced together the data from the EHT. Without her contribution the project would not have been possible. Prof Doeleman described the achievement as \"an extraordinary scientific feat\".\n\n\"We have achieved something presumed to be impossible just a generation ago,\" he said.\n\n\"Breakthroughs in technology, connections between the world's best radio observatories, and innovative algorithms all came together to open an entirely new window on black holes.\"\n\nThe team is also imaging the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.\n\nOdd though it may sound, that is harder than getting an image from a distant galaxy 55 million light-years away. This is because, for some unknown reason, the \"ring of fire\" around the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is smaller and dimmer.\n\nHow to see a Black Hole: The Universe's Greatest Mystery can be seen the UK at 21:00 on BBC Four on Wednesday 10 April.", "The report said eight students had sought help for mental health problems\n\nA report into the death of 14 students who had taken their own lives found eight had already sought help for mental health issues.\n\nThe University of the West of England (UWE) report stated the deaths were mostly among white male students whose average age was 21.\n\nHalf of the group had also resat exams or \"submitted extenuating circumstances forms\" during their university time.\n\nUWE's vice-chancellor said the suicide rate was lower than \"in communities\".\n\nSteve West added: \"In many ways, looking at Office for National Statistics data, it's safer to come to university than actually to remain in a local community.\"\n\nThe deaths investigated in the UWE report range from 2010 to the summer of 2018 and do not include deaths at Bristol's other university.\n\nIt was released as a partnership with Public Health England following concern over the numbers of death nationally.\n\nOne student, Elisa, said her first year at UWE was difficult but that the second year out of halls of residence was harder.\n\nShe said when she was in private accommodation she could not get the help she needed.\n\n\"My mum reached out for help [from the university] but didn't get it,\" she added.\n\nSteve West claimed it was safer to come to university than \"remain in a local community\"\n\nWhile the report has not recommended actions it has highlighted issues which could help identify students at risk.\n\nThose included people transferring from other courses, students repeating a year's studies, and some who had problems with debt, all of which should be seen as \"possible flags\", it said.\n\nOther issues that could show \"students in need\" included alcohol and substance misuse and relationship breakdowns.\n\nThree of the students had previously self-harmed or attempted to take their own lives, the report said.\n\nIn two cases the report said greater \"skills and confidence\" among students to highlight \"severe cause for concern\" might have helped.\n\nJo Midgley, a UWE chancellor, said the university had now started to intervene earlier when people spotted problems.\n\n\"When we contacted students, 50% of those who we contacted because it looked as if something wasn't quite right actually did need some additional help,\" she said.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

And according to those laws, this information should never disappear, not even if it gets sucked into a black hole.\n\nBut according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, the information must be destroyed. This quandary is known as the information paradox.\n\nProf Hawking believes the information doesn't make it inside the black hole at all.\n\n\"The information is not stored in the interior of the black hole as one might expect, but in its boundary - the event horizon,\" he told a conference at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.\n\nThe event horizon is a boundary, or point of no return, where escape from the gravitational pull of the black hole becomes impossible.\n\nContrary to Einstein's picture, black holes may not have an \"inside\"\n\nHawking has been working with Cambridge colleague Prof Malcolm Perry and Harvard professor Andrew Strominger on the problem. They believe that information at the event horizon is transformed into a 2D hologram - a phenomenon known as a super translation.\n\n\"The idea is the super translations are a hologram of the ingoing particles,\" Hawking explained.\n\n\"Thus, they contain all the information that would otherwise be lost.\"\n\nProf Marika Taylor, a theoretical physicist at the University of Southampton, told BBC News: \"Einstein's theory says that matter gets sucked into the black hole, falling behind its event horizon.\n\n\"Holography seems to suggest that Einstein's picture of black holes isn't right. In particular, it's not clear that there is actually an 'inside' to black holes at all - matter which gets sucked in might get stuck at the event horizon and hang around as a hologram there.\"\n\nBut she added that there was no consensus on this.\n\nOn the question of matter getting stuck at the event horizon, she said: \"Nobody really understands the details of how this happens - this is what Hawking is trying to work out and what other related ideas 'fuzzball' and 'firewall' explore too.\"\n\nThere's currently little additional detail on the maths behind Prof Hawking's talk, but he and his collaborators plan to publish a scientific paper in coming weeks.\n\nLight particles - or photons - can be emitted from black holes due to quantum fluctuations, a concept known as Hawking radiation.

She said that when she had visited the injured in hospital none of them had had just one gunshot wound.\n\n\"They will carry disabilities for a lifetime and that's before you consider the psychological impact,\" she said.\n\n\"These weapons were designed to kill, and they were designed to maim and that is what they did on the 15th of March.\"\n\nThe new rules make changes to 1983 gun laws which have been the subject of several reform attempts.\n\nThey prohibit military-style semi-automatic weapons and parts that can be used to assemble prohibited firearms.\n\nThe gunman, armed with semi-automatic rifles including an AR-15, is believed to have modified his weapons with high-capacity magazines so they could hold more bullets. The magazine is the part of the gun which stores ammunition.\n\nThose breaking the new laws will face between two and ten years in jail.

the new digital depiction of him as an older man\n\nA digital facial depiction of Bonnie Prince Charlie has been created using a death mask made of the prince after he died in 1788 aged 67.\n\nPrince Charles Edward Stuart sought to regain the Great British throne for his father in the Jacobite Rising of 1745.\n\nHis army was defeated by government forces at the Battle of Culloden, near Inverness, on 16 April 1746.\n\nHe has been celebrated in literature and art as a handsome charmer, but the new image portrays him as an older man.\n\nThe death mask used by forensic artist Hew Morrison is held in the collection at High Life Highland's Inverness Museum and Art Gallery.\n\nDeath masks are a likeness of a person, often created from a cast of plaster or wax of the person's face.\n\nFamous death masks include those of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton.\n\nThe new digital depiction of Bonnie Prince Charlie has been put on display at the Inverness museum.\n\nMr Morrison, who usually creates his images from skulls, researched other copies of the prince's death mask, as well as painted portraits and written histories.\n\nHe said: \"There are several known copies of Charles Edward Stuart's death mask in museums and private collections within the UK, some of which show slight differences to the appearance of the bridge and tip of the nose.\n\nArt has depicted the prince as a handsome charmer\n\n\"Upon first seeing the mask that is held in Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, I was not aware of this variation in different copies of the mask and had considered it to be perhaps down to Charles Edward Stuart having had a crooked nose in life.\n\n\"It would seem most likely that when different casts of the face were made throughout time, the nose, which is the most protruding area of the face, shifted slightly during the casting process causing the crooked appearance.\n\n\"After doing some research, I discovered that Lochaber Museum in Fort William also holds a copy of the mask, but the nose on this copy has a straight nasal bridge and undamaged tip.\n\n\"I went to the museum and photographed their mask to scale, and then superimposed the nasal area over the scaled photograph of the Inverness Museum copy.\"\n\nThe forensic artist said that working on the project had been a great opportunity to recreate the face of a highly significant individual from Scottish history.\n\n\"As the work progressed, what was revealed was the face of a curious, strong, but heavily burdened character.\"\n\nMr Morrison's other work has included a digital depiction of Ava, a woman who died in the Scottish Highlands more than 4,250 years ago.\n\nHew Morrison's other work has included a depiction of Early Bronze Age woman Ava\n\nA spokesman for High Life Highland said: \"Prince Charles Edward Stuart's image has appeared on everything from oil painting to shortbread tins, but there are only a handful of portraits which he was known to have sat for.\n\n\"Artists of the time often sought to flatter and produced portraits that conformed to ideals of contemporary beauty, a precursor to today's photo filters.\n\n\"The use of imagery as a propaganda tool to promote the Stuart claim to the throne sees a myriad of symbolism and hidden meaning conveyed in every aspect of portraiture.\n\n\"A portrait may not simply reflect a physical likeness of a person but also their politics, allegiances, wealth or even the image of what a King should look like.\n\n\"With this in mind, can we really be sure that these portraits are a true likeness of the prince?\"", "China sees the Dalai Lama as a dangerous separatist and claim the right to choose his successor\n\nThe Dalai

These stars live, die and could turn into black holes there.\n\nIn addition, black holes from outside the halo are believed to fall under the influence of Sgr A* as they lose their energy, causing them to be pulled into its vicinity, where they are held captive by its force.\n\nSome of these bind - or \"mate\" - to passing stars, forming binary systems.\n\nPrevious attempts to detect this population of black holes have looked for the bright bursts of X-rays that are sometimes emitted by black hole binaries.\n\n\"The galactic centre is so far away from Earth that those bursts are only strong and bright enough to see about once every 100 to 1,000 years,\" said Prof Hailey.\n\nInstead, the Columbia University astrophysicist and his colleagues decided to look for the fainter but steadier X-rays emitted when these binaries are in an inactive state.\n\n\"Isolated, unmated black holes are just black - they don't do anything,\" said Prof Hailey.\n\n\"But when black holes mate with a low mass star, the marriage emits X-ray bursts that are weaker, but consistent and detectable.\"\n\nA search for the X-ray signatures of low-mass black hole binaries in the Chandra data turned up 12 within three light-years of Sgr A*.\n\nBy extrapolating from the properties and distribution of these binaries, the team estimates that there may be 300-500 low-mass binaries and 10,000 isolated low-mass black holes surrounding Sgr A*.\n\nProf Hailey said the finding \"confirms a major theory\", adding: \"It is going to significantly advance gravitational wave research because knowing the number of black holes in the centre of a typical galaxy can help in better predicting how many gravitational wave events may be associated with them.\"\n\nGravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time. They were predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and detected by the Ligo experiment in 2015.

that is our objective.\"\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nThe DUP MP earlier told BBC Radio Ulster that regardless of what emerges in the coming days, the DUP's stance on the union was \"un-persuadable\" and they remained in an \"influential position\" because of the government's fragile working majority in Parliament.\n\nMPs have been debating legislation which would require Mrs May to seek an extension to Article 50 and give the Commons the power to approve or amend whatever was agreed.\n\nWednesday's knife-edge parliamentary vote to ask the EU for a longer Brexit extension was on a bill brought by Labour's Yvette Cooper.\n\nIt was fast-tracked through all Commons stages - a process that can take months - in one day and is now going through the Lords.\n\nIt will still be up to the EU to decide whether to grant an extension.\n\nIf the UK joined a customs union with the EU, this would lessen the need for the Irish border backstop, but would not remove it altogether.\n\nOn its own, a customs union would unequivocally not eliminate the potential for border checks in Ireland.\n\nCustoms are not the only things which could be enforced at the border - checks on food products to see if they meet EU standards would still remain an outstanding issue.\n\nThat is a matter that only some sort of continued single market access would grant.\n\nOn Monday, the DUP voted against an indicative vote proposing a customs union, but it was not binding.\n\nIf Mrs May and Mr Corbyn cannot agree a compromise, the government will put forward its own series of indicative votes - which will be binding - and could include Mrs May's own deal versus a series of other options.\n\nSupporting one union to secure another. Might this be the new DUP tactic?\n\nFirst, Nigel Dodds said he would rather remain in the EU than risk the union.\n\nNow the party whip is saying a customs union \"could be a temporary staging post\" to the \"preferred form of Brexit\".\n\nOn the same day, the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox suggested he, too, could live with a customs union if it helped deliver Brexit.\n\nFor the DUP, it's about preserving the union first, delivering Brexit second.\n\nBut supporting a customs union in the political declaration, which is not legally binding, may just be a negotiating tactic.\n\nAnd as a \"staging post\" it may disappear when Theresa May's replacement takes over the negotiation.\n\nMeanwhile, Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said it was an \"article of faith\" that the UK must leave the EU to honour the referendum result.\n\nHe told the BBC a customs union was \"not desirable\" but if that was the only way of leaving the EU, he would take it.\n\nThe comments come a day after Mrs May said that she will ask the EU for a further extension to Brexit.\n\nTalks between the prime minister and Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday were said to be \"constructive\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Ekrem Imamoglu says the AK Party's conduct is impolite\n\nIstanbul is currently a city of parallel realities.\n\nIn daily press conferences - and on his Twitter biography - Ekrem Imamoglu of the opposition CHP party says he's the new mayor.\n\nPreliminary results from the election board show he won the local election here last weekend by some 25,000 votes.\n\nBut across the city the ruling AK Party has put up victory posters, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and candidate Binali Yildirim thanking Istanbul for the win.\n\nThe government has challenged the Istanbul results and ordered recounts.\n\nAlthough it won most votes across Turkey, it lost the capital city of Ankara, and Izmir. The AKP is also contesting the CHP victory in Ankara.\n\nPresident Erdogan, it seems, is not ready to let go of Istanbul - Turkey's economic powerhouse and his home city, which he himself once ran as mayor.\n\n\"It's not polite behaviour,\" Ekrem Imamoglu said of the AK Party posters. \"We have the results from the electoral board and we know who is in the lead,\" he told me in a BBC interview.\n\nAK Party posters have gone up across the city saying \"Thank you Istanbul\"\n\nThe AK Party says invalid votes across polling stations have jeopardised the result, calling it \"the biggest stain in Turkish democratic history\".\n\n\"Of course I don't agree,\" says Mr Imamoglu.\n\n\"Up until yesterday, the government and the ruling party were claiming that Turkey had the most credible voting system and they were giving it the highest praise. One million people were on duty at polling stations that night.\n\n\"If there was any suspicious activity, they would record it and make a written report - that's the official procedure here.\n\n\"Now the only explanation I have is that they are making excuses for their failure.\"\n\nThe challenge by the government has led to allegations of hypocrisy. It denied the opposition the right to challenge the disputed local election result in Ankara in 2014.\n\nAnd in the 2017 referendum on changing Turkey's political system to favour President Erdogan, the state-run election board ruled during counting that unstamped ballot papers would be accepted.\n\nOpposition CHP supporters held a rally on Tuesday to celebrate what they are adamant is victory in Istanbul\n\nOpposition parties again cried foul - but were quickly shouted down by the government.\n\nThe loss of Ankara, Istanbul and several other cities would be a serious blow to Mr Erdogan and could be a turning point after 16 years of his rule.\n\nSo is it, I ask Ekrem Imamoglu, the beginning of the end of the president's hold on power.\n\n\"Everything comes to an end,\" he replies. \"Parties, governments, life itself. Mr Erdogan has finished his 17th year in power. There are problems and things we don't like - but it's a political success. Of course there will be an end to it one day.\"\n\nThe CHP's apparent success in Istanbul and Ankara has rejuvenated the opposition long written off as moribund and fractured. And it has broken Mr Erdogan's aura of invincibility.\n\nIs Ekrem Imamoglu, I ask, the next president of Turkey.\n\n\"God knows,\" he says with a chuckle.", "Trouble started when FC Wymeswold's Linford Harris was sent off\n\nA football cup final was abandoned partway through after alleged racist remarks from the crowd.\n\nThe Saturday Vase Final between FC Wymeswold and Cosby United on Wednesday was halted after 78 minutes.\n\nA Wymeswold player said he was racially abused by a spectator when he was shown a red card, leading to a confrontation.\n\nLeicestershire & Rutland County FA said it would \"investigate all allegations related to this game and take the necessary discipline action\".\n\nOn Twitter, Leicestershire FA said the result of the game would be decided upon disciplinary proceedings.\n\nLinford Harris said he felt \"horrible\" after being subjected to racist abuse during the match\n\nThe amateur game was held at Holmes Park, Whetstone, Leicestershire, in front of a crowd of about 200 people.\n\nWymeswold's Linford Harris said he was abused by a fan after he was sent off for making a challenge on another player.\n\n\"It's the lowest feeling I've ever had,\" he said.\n\n\"I didn't know what to do with myself - I just felt lost.\"\n\nMr Harris said no longer wanted to play, but also thanked fans and players for their support.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

What's it like to be young and live in a coastal town?\n\nSeaside towns have been neglected for too long and are in desperate need of reinvention, a parliament report said.\n\nYoung people in coastal communities are being \"let down and left behind\" by issues like transport, housing and post-16 education, the document said.\n\nThe House of Lords' plan suggested solving problems in Blackpool could prove key in tackling issues at bucket and spade resorts across England.\n\n\"If you can solve it there you can solve it anywhere,\" the report said.\n\nA single solution does not exist but if national and local government work together seaside towns could \"once again become prosperous and desirable places to live in and visit\", it said.\n\nNeil Jack, chief executive of Blackpool Council, said: \"We know from experience that with the right sort of interventions, we can create a vibrant destination.\"\n\nA university would bring the average age of the town down.\n\nThe British seaside has been \"perceived as a sort of national embarrassment\" and deserves attention, the House of Lords select committee on regenerating seaside towns found.\n\nBut places like Brighton and Bournemouth have shown the seaside can successfully reinvent itself, according to committee chairman Lord Bassam of Brighton.\n\nRussell Turner, 59 and Lorraine Turner, 60, who live in Bexhill-on-Sea on the East Sussex coast, said trains to London, Eastbourne or Brighton needed to be improved.\n\n\"It should be feasible to work in Brighton but you need to allow yourself a good hour, hour and a half [to get there] and that's with clear traffic,\" said Mrs Turner.\n\nThe report said solving problems in Blackpool could help tackle issues at other coastal towns\n\nThe report said limited access to further and higher education was \"severely curtailing opportunities and denting aspirations\" for young people in some coastal areas.\n\nThe committee's solution was for the government to create partnerships between colleges and universities and local employers.\n\nMr Turner said establishing a university would lower the town's average age and could also boost the restaurant and bar industry.\n\n\"But you would probably upset some of the older residents,\" he said.\n\nThere’s a café and restaurant culture here but in terms of shopping there isn’t really anything that entices you in.\n\n\"If you go to somewhere like Brighton or Hastings...there's things people want to go and see and do there,\" Ms Glass said.\n\n\"There's quite a café and restaurant culture here but in terms of shopping there isn't really anything that entices you in.\"\n\nThe geography of coastal towns meant many communities felt \"at the end of the line\", according to the report.\n\nBut it said this could be overcome by rolling out high-speed broadband.\n\nExisting housing should be regenerated and new builds should be of better quality, while improvements to the coastal transport network should also be prioritised, the committee said.\n\nGrimsby has received £67m to improve the dock area and to create thousands of jobs and homes\n\nThe committee said it \"strongly supported\" a £67m town deal piloted in Grimsby to create 10,000 homes and create 8,000 jobs by 2032.\n\nAn expansion of a similar town deal for Blackpool had been discussed and ministers thought that type of scheme could particularly \"lend itself to coastal towns\", the report said.\n\nWhen counting the number of visitor nights spent in seaside resorts, Blackpool ranked top by some distance followed by Brighton and Bournemouth, it found.\n\nBlackpool had been working hard to turn around its fortunes, with a revamped seafront, investment in its trams, a newly electrified direct rail link to London and investment in hotels.\n\nBut the town suffered serious deprivation and the focus on developing tourism may have hindered regeneration efforts, the report found.\n\nThe Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local

But its stark headline figures - and Mr Peskov's annoyance - have captured attention, suggesting that officials are out of touch with everyday reality.\n\nAsked to comment on the findings, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman sighed deeply before saying that the Kremlin \"struggled\" to understand the data.\n\n\"Why shoes? Why one third? Where are these figures from?\" Mr Peskov asked, adding that he would be \"grateful\" for an explanation from Rosstat.\n\nThe details are clearly available online, alongside the agency's \"monitoring of living standards\" survey, conducted every two years. The latest figures are from a poll conducted in September 2018 which covers some 60,000 homes across the Russian Federation.\n\nAmongst its findings, the survey reveals that close to half of all households cannot run to a week's annual holiday, even staying with friends or family. About 10% of those questioned could not afford to eat meat or fish three times a week, and 12.6% of homes either shared a communal toilet or had an outside loo.\n\nIn rural Russia, where many village homes still have an outhouse, that figure is above 38%.\n\nThe Kremlin's irritation with the statistics partly stems from an awareness that economic difficulties now present a significant challenge to President Putin. After overseeing a period of economic growth during his first terms in office, fuelled by high oil prices, Mr Putin's approval rating has fallen as Russian families live through a fifth straight year of shrinking incomes.\n\nThat daily reality lies behind the latest polling data, including the fact that 52.9% households can't cope with unexpected expenses - including house repairs or medical costs. In 2016, when the last survey was conducted, that figure was 44.2%.\n\nThis YouTube post cannot be displayed in your browser. Please enable Javascript or try a different browser.

although the Reds can replace them at the top if they win at Southampton on Friday.\n\nThe home side's superiority meant they were able to coast through large parts of this game, but they face a punishing schedule if they are to become the first English team to manage a clean sweep across four fronts.\n\nThey will play twice a week for the rest of April, with their next two tests against Brighton in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday and Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.\n\nAll of Manchester City's squad will surely play some part in a the next few weeks, so it must have been reassuring for Guardiola to see some of his lesser-used players in such convincing form here.\n\nWith Sergio Aguero injured and Raheem Sterling left on the bench, it was left to Jesus to lead the line and although he did not manage a goal himself, his non-stop running frequently opened up spaces for others.\n\nLike Jesus, Riyad Mahrez has also been short of first-team starts recently. One early misplaced pass brought groans from his side's fans but he continued to look lively and should have had a penalty when he was fouled in the box in the second half.\n\nFoden forced Etheridge into a fine save and hit the post in the second-half as he looked completely at ease in his surroundings, understandable given his first-team appearances in other competitions, while a fit-again De Bruyne is clearly a huge boost to City's hopes.\n\nThe only cloud on an otherwise pretty much perfect night was an early injury to Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has made the left-back slot his own since the start of the year.\n\nCardiff can have no complaints about this result\n\nHuddersfield and Fulham have already been relegated from the Premier League and Cardiff are fighting to avoid joining them.\n\nThe Bluebirds did nothing to improve their situation here, but their survival prospects were always going to depend more on how they fare in their next two games - away at Burnley and Brighton, who are two of the three teams immediately above them - than their result against Guardiola's team.\n\nSeveral key decisions went against the Bluebirds in their defeat by Chelsea on Sunday, bringing a furious reaction from manager Neil Warnock, but on this occasion he cannot argue that his side deserved more than they got.\n\nTheir attempts to keep the home side out looked doomed to failure from the moment Jesus missed a De Bruyne cross by a matter of millimetres just 30 seconds into the game, and things did not improve much from that point.\n\nIf Niasse had taken his chance when he ran clear, then the visitors might have made the final five minutes of the game into more of a contest, but Cardiff were clearly second best throughout.\n\n'He is ready' - what they said\n\nManchester City boss Pep Guardiola to BBC Sport: \"We played really well. We started really well. A magnificent goal from Kevin de Bruyne. Unfortunately we missed a lot of chances; we need to score more goals.\n\n\"Phil Foden played excellently. He did everything, arriving in the right positions with the right tempo. He always has chances, has a sense of goal. He's ready, we know it, to play any game in any position.\n\n\"He competes with David Silva, Kevin, [Ilkay] Gundogan, Bernardo [Silva]. He trains incredible.\"\n\nOn whether Sergio Aguero be fit for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final: \"We will see on Aguero...\"\n\nCardiff City boss Neil Warnock to BBC Sport: \"I don't think my players could've given us any more. I was disappointed to concede early doors. They move it so quickly, it is difficult.\n\n\"It would have been interesting if we scored at the end to see how nervous we could have made them, but I have to be pleased.\n\n\"The first goal - Neil Etheridge played really well - he knew he should've saved it. I shouted to Kevin de Bruyne at half-time: 'Kevin, did you mean that? Tell me the truth.' He said: 'No I didn't.' So I can let Neil off, although he should still save it!\"\n\nOn Cardiff's survival chances: \"You can afford the odd draw but I think we have to win three at least, add a draw and who knows?\"\n• None Manchester City have won 23 of their 25 home matches across all competitions in 2018-19 (L2), including 16 of 17 in the Premier League (L1).\n• None Only Chelsea in 2004-05 (31 games) and Manchester City last season (30 games) have reached 80 points (assuming three points for a win) in fewer games in English top-flight history than City have this season (32 games).\n• None Cardiff remain the only side in Premier League history to have never won a midweek match (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) in the competition (P11 W0 D3 L8).

Michael Walker, 16, explains what life is like for him as a young Jewish person in Northern Ireland.\n\nThe Jewish community has had a presence in Northern Ireland since the mid-18th Century.\n\nAt its peak, there were about 1,500 members but the population has been in sharp decline.\n\nThe last remaining Northern Ireland synagogue, in north Belfast, has seen its numbers drop to just 76 - most of whom are elderly.\n\nMichael Walker, 16, is one of a handful of young Jewish people left in this tiny community.\n\n\"There aren't that many roughly my age - there are only about four or five of us,\" he said.\n\n\"We don't really see each other that often.\"\n\nMichael - wearing his tallit, the Jewish prayer shawl - takes part in traditional worship\n\nMichael has lived in Northern Ireland all his life and his ancestors are from Jewish communities in Great Britain.\n\nHis grandmother is originally from London and his grandfather from Glasgow.\n\nHaving had his Bar Mitzvah three years ago, he is beginning to feel the demands of early adulthood.\n\nFor Michael now counts as part of the minyan - a quorum of 10 Jewish men needed for traditional public Jewish worship.\n\nJudaism is the religion or culture of Jewish people and the profession, practice, or doctrines of the Jewish religion.\n\nAlongside Islam and Christianity, it is one of the three Abrahamic religions.\n\nJudaism originated in the Middle East more than 3,500 years ago.\n\nAccording to non-profit organisation the Jewish Agency for Israel, as of 2018 there are 14.7m Jewish people worldwide.\n\nThe Bar Mitzvah is a coming-of-age ritual which Jewish boys go through when they reach the age of 13 (Jewish girls go through it at 12), at which point they are seen as becoming responsible for their own actions.\n\nAccording to Jewish law, he or she is also now eligible to own property and to get married.\n\nHe is often needed to complete the minyan as the community struggles to meet the quota.\n\n\"There's a bit of pressure to kind of turn up,\" he said.\n\n\"It's important that we get the minyan - sometimes they only get nine and they're kind of annoyed that they're missing one person.\n\n\"When the 10th person sometimes is me, they say, 'Hey, Michael's here, we can start'.\"\n\nThe Star of David features on the Albert Memorial Clock at Queen's Square in Belfast\n\nMichael admits he does not wear a traditional skullcap most of the time, to avoid getting \"funny looks\" from those not accustomed to Jewish customs.\n\n\"Being in Northern Ireland, everyone thinks about the Protestants and Catholics but no-one thinks about us,\" he said.\n\n\"As there's not that many people left in the Jewish community in Northern Ireland, it will probably stay like that unless people are educated more about other religions.\"\n\nBelfast-born Steven Jaffe, 54, a consultant to the Jewish Leadership Council, said youthful celebrations like Bar Mitzvahs and weddings were now rare.\n\nIn fact, he believes Michael's Bar Mitzvah may have been the last one held in Northern Ireland.\n\nMr Jaffe said he, too, was part of the Jewish exodus from Northern Ireland and chose to raise his family in London partly because of the availability of Jewish schools and kosher restaurants.\n\nRecalling his own childhood, he said there was a sizeable young Jewish community in Belfast in the 1970s and 1980s.\n\n\"I was lucky when I was growing up, as there was about 30 of us although by the time I was 18 that had fallen to around 10,\" he said.\n\nIt is \"amazing\" that Northern Ireland's Jewish community is continuing, says Steven Jaffe\n\n\"Having the absence of a cohort of Jewish friends his age must be very difficult for Michael.\n\n\"The ageing community is a result of young people graduating to the larger communities in London and Manchester, or assimilating.\n\n\"Many have drifted away from the Jewish community and some have gone to live in Israel.\"\n\nMr Jaffe said the community, distinctive because of its relative geographic isolation, had so far defied predictions that it would disappear.\n\n\"Twenty years ago, people were saying it did not have a future, yet in 2019 they have a minister, they have services every Sabbath,\" he added.\n\n\"It is amazing it is continuing.\"", "Amanda Donaldson must pay £18,734 to JK Rowling with interest\n\nA former personal assistant to JK Rowling has been ordered to pay almost £19,000 to the Harry Potter author after fraudulently using her credit card.\n\nAmanda Donaldson, 35, from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, must pay £18,734 back with interest.\n\nThe author pursued damages in a civil case at Airdrie Sheriff Court under her married name Joanne Murray.\n\nShe said the money would be donated to her charity Lumos.\n\nDonaldson was dismissed from her job in Ms Rowling's Edinburgh office in 2017 over the incident.\n\nSheriff Derek O'Carroll found Donaldson used a business credit card to purchase goods and withdraw money which were for her own use.\n\nHe also found that she used Ms Rowling's business bank accounts to buy foreign currency which she kept for herself.\n\nThe amount she has been ordered to repay includes £1,160 for cash withdrawals, £9,832 for point-of-sale purchases and £7,742 on foreign currency.\n\nHowever the sheriff said there was not enough evidence to prove Donaldson was responsible for a quantity of Harry Potter merchandise going missing.\n\nAfter the publication of the judgement, a statement issued on behalf of Ms Rowling said she was \"pleased\" with the ruling.\n\nIt added: \"From the outset Ms Rowling made it clear that the decision to take this matter to court was a last resort and not for her personal benefit, but rather to protect the reputation of her existing staff, and to make sure Ms Donaldson is not in a position to breach the trust of another employer.\n\n\"Terms of the recovery will be decided in due course, and the money owed will be donated to JK Rowling's charity Lumos.\"\n\nJK Rowling hired Amanda Donaldson to help organise her business and personal matters.\n\nDuring the court case, Donaldson accepted she had no entitlement to use the business credit card or bank accounts for her own benefit.\n\nHowever, she denied any form of fraud or dishonesty, contending that every transaction was for the business use or the personal benefit of Ms Rowling, and it was all authorised.\n\nShe contended that every foreign currency purchase was authorised and was spent during foreign trips by Ms Rowling, her family and security staff or was retained by the writer or her family with a very limited amount left over.\n\nShe denied any responsibility for missing Harry Potter merchandise.\n\nThe judgement concluded: \"The sheriff accepted the evidence of the pursuer, her husband and her other witnesses as entirely credible and reliable.\n\n\"By contrast, the sheriff did not accept the defender's evidence as either credible or reliable.

admitted.\n\nBut the completion between October 2020 and March 2021 will not include the opening of Bond Street, one of 10 new stations along the new Elizabeth Line, they said.\n\nLondon mayor Sadiq Khan described the new timetable as \"realistic and deliverable\".\n\nThe new £17.6bn railway across London was due to open last December.\n\n\"Many risks and uncertainties remain in the development and testing of the train and signalling systems,\" Crossrail Ltd said in a statement, having identified a new \"six-month delivery window\" for the project.\n\nThe line had been rescheduled to open this autumn but that had been cast into doubt after further setbacks were reported.\n\nCrossrail said Bond Street's opening had been delayed \"because of design and delivery challenges\" and would be unveiled \"at the earliest opportunity\".\n\nIts chief executive Mark Wild told the BBC's Today programme Tottenham Court Road station would be open and he hoped Bond Street station would be opened soon after the Elizabeth Line started operating.\n\n\"It's very disappointing we didn't make it in December but we've got a plan now, a clear plan, to get it opened by the end of next year.\n\n\"I think the project in the summer of last year got itself into quite a compressed state with overlapping activities.\"\n\nHe added: \"My job now is to get the railway open.\"\n\nCrossrail said it had

again put the pressure back on Manchester City as they returned to the top of the Premier League with an emphatic win over Huddersfield at Anfield.\n\nJurgen Klopp's side are now two points clear of the reigning champions, who have a game in hand, with Naby Keita's goal after 15 seconds setting the tone for a dominant display.\n\nWinning possession high in Huddersfield territory, the Guinea midfielder swept a close-range effort into the bottom left corner from Mohamed Salah's pass to record the Reds' quickest goal in a Premier League match.\n\nIt was also Liverpool's 100th goal in all competitions this term, and they doubled their lead when Sadio Mane glanced Andrew Robertson's superb cross into the bottom right corner.\n\nSalah then lobbed Town goalkeeper Jonas Lossl on the stroke of half-time to deliver a third after running on to Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball forward.\n\nWhile Huddersfield twice went close to scoring through Juninho Bacuna and Karlan Grant, it remained largely one-way traffic after the break.\n\nSalah and Keita both went close to their second goals of the evening before Mane headed in his second from Jordan Henderson's cross to briefly become the Premier League's joint-top scorer, on 20 goals.\n\nHowever his Egyptian team-mate Salah regained that honour, converting from another Robertson delivery in the closing stages to move on to 21 goals, sealing a fine team performance.\n\nLiverpool have now amassed more points than Arsenal's unbeaten \"Invincibles\" team of 2003-04 and have 12 points more than the Manchester United Treble-winning team of 1998-99.\n\nNo team has ever reached this number of points (91) and not gone on to win the title.\n\nManchester City, though, can regain top spot if they win their game in hand at Burnley on Sunday (14:05 BST), after which both teams have two games left.\n\nIf there were fears this could turn into a nervy occasion, they were quickly dispelled by a lightning-fast start in which visiting midfielder Jon Gorenc Stankovic was robbed of possession for Keita's opener.\n\nLiverpool's high press was hardly unexpected but it did the early damage before the usual suspects took over.\n\nRobertson displayed the form that has seen him rewarded with a place in the PFA's Premier League Team of the Year, driving forward from left-back at every opportunity.\n\nHis contribution to Mane's first goal and Salah's second saw him equal a Premier League record of 11 assists from a defender in a season.\n\nMane, who was also endorsed by his contemporaries and is a contender for the main PFA Player of the Year award on Sunday, showcased his ability to find space between defenders, directing two excellent headers past Lossl to record his 19th and 20th league goals of a prolific season.\n\nThat ensured Liverpool became the first club to have two players score 20 goals or more in a Premier League season since Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge accomplished the same feat in 2013-14, also for the Reds.\n\nSalah's two-goal return also saw him become only the third Liverpool player to pass 20 or more Premier League goals in consecutive seasons for the club, placing him in the same company as Robbie Fowler (1994-95 and 1995-96) and Luis Suarez (2012-13 and 2013-14).\n\nHis overall tally of 69 goals in 100 games does, however, separate him from those former heroes and is the highest number of goals managed by any Liverpool player after a century of appearances.\n\nKlopp will have also been satisfied with his team's fluency in attack even without Roberto Firmino, who was nursing a thigh injury.\n\nThe Brazilian is expected to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at Barcelona, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who returned from injury to make his first appearance since April 2018, will also bolster his options.\n\nAt the same stage last term, Huddersfield were still embroiled in a fight for Premier League survival - but this campaign has struck an entirely different tone.\n\nDavid Wagner - the architect of that triumph and the Terriers' first promotion to the top flight since 1972 - left in January and his successor Jan Siewert has been unable to recalibrate their fortunes.\n\nThis thumping defeat leaves Town with just four points from the last 69 available and a compendium of unwanted records loom.\n\nThe 77-point difference between them and Liverpool represents the biggest gap between the top and bottom club since the Premier League was formed.\n\nAnd this loss - their 28th of the season - moved them within one of the Premier League record for the most defeats, which is currently shared by Ipswich, Sunderland and Derby.\n\nWith two games to go against Manchester United and at Southampton, there is now the realistic prospect they could end up as the sole owners of that undesirable tag.\n\nTheir failings here were symptomatic of their season; albeit the quality of their opponents only exacerbated them.\n\nStankovic - a defender deployed in midfield - lacked the awareness to shift the ball away from Keita, giving the visitors an early mountain to climb.\n\nAnd both of Mane's headers were too easily dispatched against a side that has now conceded 74 goals in 36 games.\n\nWhile endeavour was not absent - Huddersfield covered more ground than their opponents (111.97km to 110.34km) - the visitors' failure to capitalise on promising situations made for a comfortable night for the hosts.\n\n'We scored wonderful goals' - what they said\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: \"We are happy with the points we have and now we are focused on the next game. We have a mindset that works and we try to create problems for each opponent by working hard.\n\n\"It's obviously an outstanding group of players, who did well against a Huddersfield side who are much better than the result shows. They had proper counter-attacks so we needed to be patient and we scored wonderful goals.\"\n\nHuddersfield manager Jan Siewart: \"I feel for the player who made the mistake and everyone felt sorry for him. I have to take care of my player because he is a fantastic character. He was outstanding against Wolves but today he made a mistake and we all have to back him.\n\n\"No-one expected us to be brave and we could easily have put on our helmets and sit on the back foot but we put them under pressure. This is how I want to continue with my work because I know it will deliver results.\n\n\"Jurgen Klopp has proved that at Liverpool where he came in and changed the system.

There were lots of witnesses.\"\n\nHowever, Ethiopian Sisay Tsegaye said that he and his wife were involved in the altercation with Farah but that the Briton did not hit his wife and they had now \"found peace\".\n\n\"I think Mo was thinking I was using his training regime to train other people. But in fact we were using videos downloaded from YouTube.\n\n\"When a brawl erupted, Mo kicked me around my neck. It was a minor hit. This caused disturbance inside the gym. Police came to the scene but it was resolved with mediation. But he never touched my wife.\n\n\"Now I'm on good terms with Mo. We have found peace four days after this incident.\"\n\nGebrselassie, who won four world titles, also said Farah was given a 50% discount on his hotel rates, but left without paying his service bill of 81,000 Ethiopian Birr (£2,170).\n\nIn response to Gebrselassie's claims on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Farah said: \"Mo is disappointed with this statement and the continued reluctance by the hotel and its owner to take responsibility for this robbery.\n\n\"Mo disputes all of these claims, which are an effort to distract from the situation, where members of his hotel staff used a room key and stole money and items from Mo Farah's room (there was no safe as it was faulty, and Mo requested a new one).\n\n\"Police reports confirm the incident and the hotel admitted responsibility and were in contact with Mo's legal advisor.\n\n\"The hotel even offered to pay Mo the amount stolen, only to withdraw the offer when he prematurely left the hotel and moved to other accommodation due to security concerns.\n\n\"Despite many attempts to discuss this issue privately with Mr Gebrselassie, he did not respond but now that he has, we would welcome him or his legal team getting in touch so that this matter can be resolved.\"\n\nGebrselassie claimed on Thursday he had previously refused Aden entry to the hotel, leading to a dispute with Farah.\n\nAden, the former coach of 2015 world 1500m champion Genzebe Dibaba, was arrested after police raided his hotel room in Sabadell, north of Barcelona in June 2016. The investigation is ongoing.\n\n\"His grudge against me started when I denied access to Jama Aden to the hotel and forbidden access,\" Gebrselassie told the Telegraph.\n\n\"I was head of the Ethiopian Athletics Federation at the time. He was angry with me at the time and looking for ways to revenge for that.\"\n\nGebrselassie was Ethiopian Athletics Federation president between November 2016 and November 2018.\n\nIn 2016, British Athletics said Aden had been \"unofficial facilitator\" for Farah when he trained in Ethiopia for a week in 2015 and had only called out lap times for the Briton.\n\n\"To be clear Jama Aden has never trained Mo and this allegation along with many of the others levied by Haile Gerbreselassie and his hotel employees today have no basis and are not true,\" said a spokesperson for Farah on Thursday.\n\nFormer 1500m world champion and BBC commentator Steve Cram said it is \"an unseemly spat\" between Farah and Gebrselassie but that it would not affect the Briton in his bid to win the London Marathon on Sunday.\n\n\"Mo had something he really wanted to get off his chest,\" said Cram.\n\n\"He knew he had an audience and decided it was the right time to say what he said about what had happened in Ethiopia.\n\n\"It might not have been the best timing but he felt it was the platform to do it.\"\n\nCram said he was hopeful that the \"two great champions\" could \"settle their differences in whatever way and the thing doesn't escalate\".\n\n\"Inevitably for the media it's a great story,\" he added.\n\n\"It is a distraction from the weekend - we're all getting excited about Mo versus Eliud Kipchoge - another great champion, so I hope by Sunday that's what we'll concentrate on.\"", "Elon Musk has not hidden his contempt for the markets regulator in the US\n\nThe US financial markets regulator has resolved its row with Tesla chief executive Elon Musk over his use of Twitter.\n\nThe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Mr Musk of breaching a court order to not share information which could impact the financial markets, without pre-approval.\n\nEarlier this month a judge ordered the SEC, Tesla and Mr Musk to come to an agreement, rather than sending the matter through the courts.\n\nThat agreement, made public today by the SEC, adds greater clarity to the restrictions on Mr Musk’s communications, on Twitter or elsewhere.\n\nIt states that Mr Musk may not, without approval of Tesla’s legal team, share information about:\n\nNeither Mr Musk, nor Tesla, has yet commented on the agreement.\n\nMr Musk found himself the subject of the SEC’s ire after tweeting, last August, that he planned to make Tesla a private company and that he had the “funding secured” to do so.\n\nThat message - later characterised as being a joke - ended up being extremely costly.\n\nUS authorities ordered Tesla and Mr Musk to each pay a $20m (£15.2m) fine and forced Mr Musk to relinquish his role as chairman for three years.\n\nMr Musk and Tesla also agreed to implement new oversight on the 47-year-old’s Twitter habit.\n\nHowever, in February he tweeted that Tesla would make “make around 500k” cars in 2019. The SEC argued that this constituted a previously undisclosed projection in breach of the agreement.\n\nMr Musk later added a clarification, and argued that the numbers were already public. He then said: \"Something is broken with SEC oversight.\"\n\nIt was not the first time Mr Musk has displayed his disapproval of the regulator.\n\n\"I want to be clear,” he told CBS 60 Minutes in December. \"I do not respect the SEC.\"\n\nNews of the latest settlement saw Tesla’s stock rise modestly in after-hours trading on Friday. However, the price has dropped sharply this week due to Tesla posting worse-than-expected earnings on Thursday.\n\nDo you have more information about this or any other technology story?

She hired a private jet, went to all the best parties, and threw cash at everyone she saw - a $100 (£78) tip if you carried her bag or were her Uber driver.\n\nYet, ultimately, her time at the top was short-lived. And it unravelled spectacularly.\n\nIn real life, Sorokin had no multi-million-dollar trust fund. According to New York Magazine, her father is a former trucker, who runs a heating-and-cooling business.\n\nAfter her credit cards began to fail - repeatedly - and she was kicked out of the luxury hotels she lived in, other people were left to pick up the bills.\n\nFollowing a month-long trial, Sorokin has now been found guilty of multiple offences, including stealing more than $200,000.\n\n\"As proven at trial, Anna Sorokin committed real white-collar felonies over the course of her lengthy masquerade,\" District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement announcing the conviction.\n\nSorokin, who chose not to testify and pleaded not guilty, now faces up to 15 years in prison and will be sentenced on 9 May.\n\nSo how did this woman in her mid-20s cause financial chaos across a city, leaving people picking up her tabs in the US and beyond?\n\nAnna Delvey came to New York City on a mission. At least that is what she told people.\n\nShe wanted to start an arts centre, with a chic Soho House ethos. She was considering calling it the Anna Delvey Foundation, according to New York Magazine, and she claimed to have lined up renowned artist Christo for the inauguration. For the venue, she had her eye on a six-floor space - 45,000 sq ft (4,200 sq m) - in Church Missions House, a prestigious, late 19th Century building, on the corner of Park Avenue and 22nd Street.\n\nThere is a certain lifestyle that goes with such bold claims - and she was living it.\n\nSpeaking at the trial's opening, defence lawyer Todd Spodek said: \"Anna had to fake it until she could make it.\"\n\nHe told jurors that Sorokin was \"easily seduced by glamour and glitz\" when she saw how wealth - or the illusion of wealth - opened doors.\n\nAnna Sorokin (right), then known as Anna Delvey, at a fashion event at a New York hotel in 2014\n\nAccording to court documents, Sorokin represented herself as a German heiress with $60m in assets to try to get a loan of $22m for her foundation. She presented forged bank statements and would deposit bad cheques, then withdraw the money before they bounced.\n\nHer attempt to get the major loan ultimately failed, and she was found not guilty on a count related specifically to this.\n\nHowever, prosecutors said that, while she never managed to secure millions, she did get a temporary $100,000 overdraft with City National Bank - based on forged proof of foreign assets - but she failed to repay it with a wire transfer, as promised.\n\nInstead, they say, she went on a one-month shopping spree, spending $55,000 on \"her upkeep at 11 Howard [a luxury hotel], high-end fashion purchases from Net-a-Porter and Forward by Elyse Walker, sessions with a personal trainer, Apple, and other personal expenses\".\n\nHer lawyer said she never intended to commit a crime.\n\n\"In her world, this is what her social circle did,\" he told the jury. \"Everyone's life was perfectly curated for social media. People were fake. People were phoney. And money was made on hype alone.\"\n\n\"Wannabe socialite busted for skipping out on pricey hotel bills\", read a July 2017 headline in the New York Post.\n\nThis was followed, in April 2018, by a confessional first-person piece in Vanity Fair by one of the magazine's photojournalists, saying she had been hoodwinked by Ms Sorokin.\n\nRachel DeLoache Williams became a key witness in the trial, and her accusations formed one of the larceny charges. \"I wish I had never met Anna,\" she said in the courtroom during a tear-soaked testimony.\n\nShe said she had met her at Manhattan nightclub Happy Ending, where Sorokin held court with tales of her proposed arts foundation and then picked up the tab for a bottle of vodka.\n\nThey became friends. Ms Williams wrote in her article about being seduced by the apparent \"glamorous, frictionless\" lifestyle. She enjoyed going out for espresso martinis and fancy dinners. Anna usually paid, referring to her trust fund, and this culminated in her inviting Ms Williams on a trip to Morocco.\n\nMs Williams wrote: \"Anna also invited her personal trainer, along with a friend of mine - a photographer - whom, at a dinner the week before our trip, Anna had asked to come as a documentarian, someone to capture video.\"\n\nAnna's was a beautiful dream of New York, like one of those nights that never seems to end. And then the bill arrives.\n\nIn the courtroom, she said Ms Sorokin asked her to reserve a luxury, $7,000-per-night riad in Marrakesh, complete with three bedrooms, a private swimming pool and a dedicated butler.\n\nShe said it was always intended that Ms Sorokin would pay the bill, but when they came to check out, her credit cards did not work.\n\nPut on the spot, Ms Williams ended up footing the bill for the entire trip, which, including extras, came to approximately $62,000 for a six-night stay.\n\nHowever, Sorokin was acquitted of the charge related to that bill. The jury did not consider it theft.\n\nThe photojournalist said she was left in tears and suffering regular panic attacks, consumed by the stress of trying to retrieve the money.\n\n\"It was a magic trick,\" she wrote at the conclusion of her story. \"I'm embarrassed to say that I was one of the props, and the audience, too. Anna's was a beautiful dream of New York, like one of those nights that never seems to end. And then the bill arrives.\"\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

She interviewed various people who had come across Sorokin, including a concierge, Neffatari \"Neff\" Davis, also in her mid-20s, who worked at the 11 Howard hotel.\n\nMs Davis said Sorokin arrived at the newly opened Soho hotel like a whirlwind in April 2017, block-booking a deluxe room (around $400 a night). Gestures, such as allegedly paying a personal trainer $4,500 in a cash advance, gave the impression she was wallowing in money. She also spent an inordinate amount of time at the concierge desk, said Ms Davis.\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser. Please enable Javascript or try a different browser.

Staff had not got a credit card on file for Ms Sorokin. A major dispute broke out, according to Ms Davis.\n\nHowever - perhaps surprisingly - Sorokin did eventually settle that debt. She used the money from the City Bank overdraft.\n\nIn court, her lawyer said that his client \"believed that she would have the funds to pay every single person back\". This was the crux of her case.\n\nBut jurors were not convinced.\n\nMany people have said this whole story is so specific to New York's young socialites; how some people move in circles where they don't know their friends' surnames or background; how what matters most is the night out, the connections, the name-drops, the moment.\n\nSorokin's lawyer was keen to play into this. \"Any millennial will tell you, it is not uncommon to have delusions of grandeur,\" he said in court.\n\nBut writer and psychologist Maria Konnikova, the author of The Confidence Game - a book about con artistry - believes the case is full of elements that are both timeless and universal. \"People love to think they are idiosyncratic, but this has happened over and over and over again, everywhere. Anna Delvey fit the New York scene, but this could have happened in London and even in a small town, if certain things were adapted.\"\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

We accept so much at face value, and we put so much out there.\" Theoretically you should be able to vet people better, she says, but people are not being savvy.\n\nSorokin was an active Instagram user, building a profile that made her look like a mover on the arts scene.\n\nEileen Kinsella has been covering the story from the courtroom for New York-based art market website, Artnet.\n\nShe says it has made the art world sit up because there are always concerns about being duped. \"You often don't know who is on the other side of a transaction, and people do buy things they can't afford,\" she says.\n\nShe also says the city has been on a particularly high alert since one of its most-established galleries - Knoedler - was exposed in 2012 for selling fake works, supposedly by the likes of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. \"People went to incredible lengths to make things seem authentic. It had huge implications.\"\n\nOne of her Artnet colleagues, critic Ben Davis, also wrote a piece analysing the art content of Sorokin's Instagram account, noting her use of familiar hashtags, and posting works from major events: Frieze, Art Basel, the Venice Biennale and the openings at Pace Gallery.\n\nIt was, he concluded, a \"thin tissue of celebrity and scene-y artists\". However, he added that the envy generated by social media has become a kind of currency of its own, and she had managed to create \"crisply curated fabulousness\".\n\nThe New York Magazine story about Sorokin's ruse was almost instantly optioned by Netflix, and linked with producer Shonda Rimes (Grey's Anatomy, Scandal).\n\nMs Williams' story is being adapted for HBO, with writer Lena Dunham working on the screenplay. Ms Williams has also signed a book deal with Simon and Schuster.\n\nPeople have been captivated by the idea of Sorokin's apparent audacity, and yet also left with so many questions: Why? What was the end game? Where did she come from? How come no-one guessed sooner? (Some have said that her unkempt hair should have been a giveaway. People who live in hotels have time on their hands for daily blow-dries. In court, Ms Williams said there were, in hindsight, plenty of \"red flags\".)\n\nThere were rumours that Jennifer Lawrence might take the title role in the adaptation, however, the Oscar winner was then signed up to play another so-called \"millennial scammer\" - Elizabeth Holmes, the deep-voiced entrepreneur who fraudulently built up the Silicon Valley company, Theranos.\n\nMs Holmes' story has become the subject of various documentaries and podcasts. As has that of Billy McFarland, who created the infamous and completely hollow Fyre Festival. Both characters have been the subject of hit documentaries.\n\nBilly McFarland (R) with former Fyre Festival employee Andy King, who became a memorable character in the Netflix documentary\n\nTV critic Scott Bryan, who co-hosts BBC Must Watch, says such documentaries have become huge hits because they explore social media stories in such depth.\n\n\"The documentary that followed then provided a great amount of context and insight into how it all spiralled out of control and viewers learnt so much more than what they did from the original news story, when they initially thought that they weren't going to do so. When these documentaries are done well, they can be equally, if not more compelling, than when we heard the story first time round,\" he says.\n\nIn the case of Sorokin, some already view her as a sort of antihero. They admire her for gaming a system that few people will ever have access to.\n\nLast summer, T-shirts saying Free Anna Delvey became the ironic must-have for Brooklynites. New York Magazine - via its website The Cut - also also saw an opportunity to profit off the story it had made viral and added a range of slogan tees to its online shop: \"Fake German Heiress\"; \"My other shirt will wire you $30,000\".\n\nMarie Claire magazine also explored the outpouring of enthusiasm for the story. \"No-one died as a result of her actions, she just made rich people look like idiots,\" it said. However, it also recognised the story's alleged victims, notably Ms Williams.\n\nAnna Sorokin was held in New York's notoriously tough Rikers Island jail ahead of her trial.\n\nSince her detention, she has not been Instagramming from the inside, according to jail officials. After her detention, one of her posts was tagged with a Rikers location (\"Throwback Thursday to @LeCouCou_NYC\"), but the authorities say someone else must be managing the account.\n\nShe appears, however, to still be curating her image. She reportedly told Ms Davis - who remains a friend - that she would prefer if Margot Robbie played her in the Netflix production.\n\nAnd she also worked with a stylist, Anastasia Walker, to get her courtroom look during the trial.\n\nShe arrived in the court room on the first day dressed in stylish black glasses and a matching choker, and went on to parade a number of other designer outfits: Saint Laurent, Michael Kors, Victoria Beckham.\n\nMs Walker told Elle magazine the look was \"mysterious chic\".\n\nOne day, the proceedings were delayed because of wardrobe troubles and Justice Diane Kiesel gave her a verbal dressing down. \"This is unacceptable and inappropriate,\" she said. \"This is not a fashion show.\"\n\nYet multiple media outlets pulled together galleries of her in-court fashion, and an Instagram account (@annadelveycourtlooks) has picked up a few thousand followers.\n\nUltimately her lawyer, Todd Spodek, was keen to paint this as a New York story, referencing the Frank Sinatra song in his opening and closing statements.\n\n\"In a city that favours money and the appearance of money... they both created their own opportunities,\" he said.\n\n\"She was creating a business that she believed would work and she was buying time,\" he argued.\n\nAnna Sorokin was a part of it. But not for long.\n\nShe was found guilty on Thursday of four counts of theft of services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny, and acquitted of one count of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny.\n\nShe also declined a plea deal, which could have resulted in a more lenient sentence if she agreed to return to Germany, where she lived after the age of 16, having been born in Russia.\n\nShe now faces deportation to Germany because she has overstayed her visa.", "Apple Watch was the most accurate, according to the Which? study\n\nSome fitness trackers are inaccurately measuring running distance, according to research from the consumer watchdog Which?\n\nIt tested 118 trackers using a treadmill to complete the distance of a marathon - 26.2 miles (42km).\n\nIt found that the least reliable was the Garmin Vivosmart 4, which underestimated the distance by 10.8 miles – meaning the researcher actually ran 37 miles.\n\nGarmin said it was because that particular tracker did not contain GPS.\n\nIt described the Vivosmart 4 as an “all-round smart fitness tracker” and suggested that marathon runners use its Forerunner range which is GPS-enabled.\n\nOf the eight Apple models involved in the test, the Apple Watch series 1 was the most accurate, over-estimating the distance by 1%, while the series 3 overestimated by 13% - stating that the runner had completed the marathon distance after 22.8 miles.\n\n“Our tests have found a number of models from big-name brands that can’t be trusted when it comes to measuring distance, so before you buy, make sure you do your research to find a model that you can rely on,” said Natalie Hitchins, head of home product and services at Which?\n\nOther results for the number of miles reached before the tracker recorded the official marathon distance included:\n\nA Huawei spokesman told the BBC “individual runner variances” could have affected the test results.\n\n“With regards to running indoors, as this particular test was carried out on a treadmill,\" he said. \"The algorithm of Huawei Watch 2 Sport calculates the user’s stride length from the acceleration sensor data while running at different speeds.\"\n\nTesting devices in the real world, rather than on treadmills, would provide more accurate results, experts said\n\nIn January 2019 researchers at Aberystwyth University found that all the trackers they tested overestimated the number of calories burned during activity.\n\nGavin Taitt is a regular middle-distance runner from Earlston, in the Scottish Borders, who also coaches others. He said he and his group use a combination of Garmin Forerunner watches and the social fitness network Strava to measure and share results.\n\n“The watches are quite expensive but have good feedback,” he said.\n\nAnother expert agreed that the calibrated treadmill test was not the best method because all the devices would have had to rely on step-counting algorithms rather than GPS (for those which had it) to calculate distance.\n\n\"This is a real shame as a real world (on-road) test would have been more useful for consumers,\" said Dr Dale Esliger, senior lecturer in physical activity and health at Loughborough University.\n\nHe added that when investing in a tracker, people should think about which metric is going to be most useful to them in terms of measuring their progress.\n\n\"Step-counting has become a key metric for many; however, devices are now coming with heart-rate monitoring capability which relates to activity intensity and provides insight into cardiovascular health,\" he explained.\n\n\"In our research, this [heart rate] is the metric that seems to be the potent driver for behaviour change.\"", "The attack happened in Church Road in Rayleigh on Wednesday evening\n\nAn off-duty police officer is in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed multiple times in a \"targeted\" attack.\n\nThe victim suffered injuries to his stomach, chest and arm in the attack in Rayleigh at about 21:15 BST on Wednesday, Essex Police said.\n\nA man was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is in custody.\n\nPolice said it was believed the attack was \"targeted and isolated\" and have appealed for witnesses.\n\nIn a statement Ben-Julian Harrington, chief constable of Essex, said the force was \"supporting one of our colleagues who was the victim of a stabbing in Rayleigh\".\n\n\"I can however confirm we have a man in custody who has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder,\" he said.\n\n\"We believe this attack was targeted and that the officer and the suspect are known to each other.\n\n\"There is no wider risk to the local community or other police officers as a result of this incident.\"\n\nPolice said he was in a \"serious but stable condition\" after undergoing hospital treatment.\n\nHe had been found at an address in Church Road and it was not seeking anyone else in connection with the stabbing.\n\nIn a Tweet, John Apter, the chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: \"Thoughts are with the officer, his family and his colleagues.

So does allowing a Chinese company to build those networks put people at risk of being spied on or even switched off?\n\nThat is the concern from Washington and other critics who wanted the company excluded.\n\nBut deciding to ban Huawei entirely from the network would have risked slowing down the development of 5G and also upsetting China.\n\nThe UK believes it has experience in managing the risks posed by Huawei and can continue to do so going forward.\n\nBut one retired senior intelligence official recently told me his view on what to do about Huawei had changed.\n\nIn the past, he said, he had believed the policy of managing the risk had been sufficient.

about 21% - between those with an undergraduate degree and non-graduates.\n\nThe graduate earnings figures for 2018, published by the Department for Education, show that for graduates aged between 21 and 30, the typical salary is £25,500, compared with £21,000 for non-graduates.\n\nBut with more students than ever getting undergraduate degrees, the biggest earnings premium is now for those who stay on for further studies, with postgraduates typically earning £30,000.\n\nThis gap applies across the whole working population, between the ages of 16 and 64, with postgraduates averaging £40,000, compared with £34,000 for graduates and £24,000 for non-graduates.\n\nThe government has commissioned a review of whether undergraduate fees of £9,250 per year in England represent value for money.\n\nThese latest official figures show a narrowing advantage for young graduates -

that is an ideal storm for wildfires to happen.\n\n\"Climate change is a factor, we are going to see drier winters and warmer springs so we are going to need to change the way we deal with wildfires.\"\n\nThe SFRS last year issued 21 fire danger warnings, which combine data about ground and weather conditions to predict the likelihood of wildfires.\n\nIn 2017 only six warnings were issued and the year before there were only two.\n\nSo far this year four warnings have been issued by the service, which has dealt with eight major wildfires since 18 April alone.\n\nSatellite images showed the large areas affected by the fire in Moray this week\n\nA wildfire around Knockando, Moray was thought to be out but six appliances had to return to the area when fresh fires were spotted on Thursday\n\nMr Farquharson said the gravity of the threat now meant firefighters were being trained in controlled burning with a view to formally starting the practice next spring, most likely in the worst affected areas of the Highlands and Aberdeenshire.\n\nControlled burning involves creating fires to remove the fuel, typically heather or grass, which keeps wildfires burning and forcing them to burn out.\n\nIt is a technique that is used in countries that have severe wildfires, such as Australia or the United States, which had devastating fires in California last year.\n\nIn the UK, the South Wales Fire and Rescue service starting using the method last year and was called in to help with the major Saddleworth Moor fire which occurred during the 2018 heatwave.\n\nA firefighter watches a controlled burn in the Sequoia National Forest, California, where the method of trying to stop the advance of wildfires has been used for decades\n\nMr Farquharson tried the method himself in Spain last year where he and local firefighters put out a blaze covering several acres of scrubland on a remote hill without using a single drop of water.\n\nHe explained: \"It might sound a bit odd to some but what we are aiming to do is to teach some of our key stations how to use fire to fight wildfires.\n\n\"You clear a strip of vegetation as a base using hand tools and you slowly burn back from that to create an ever widening area of what we call a black strip so that when the fire reaches this strip, it burns out itself.\n\n\"Gamekeepers have traditionally done it but the fire service has never done it in Scotland before.\"\n\nUp to 80 firefighters were in attendance at the Moray blaze at its peak\n\nWorking smarter to try and reduce the amount of \"back breaking work\" needed to deal with wildfires has also thrown up a perhaps unlikely new ally for firefighters- the leaf blower.\n\nMr Farquharson, who is also chairman of the Scottish Wildfire Forum, continued: \"The firefighters coming off the hill at Moray looked like they have been at war.\n\n\"That is why we are keen to get the controlled fire approach working but there are other methods, industrial standard leaf blowers are an awesome tool.\n\n\"Not on all fuel types, but certainly on heather and some types of grass, a leaf blower does the same job as beating a fire.\n\n\"Think about a birthday cake and blowing the candles out, a leaf blower does the same job and two people with leaf blowers can do same job as ten people with traditional beaters, in a fraction of the time.\"\n\nSFRS area manager Bruce Farquharson is hopeful the controlled burning approach will reduce the impact of wildfires and make the work safer for firefighters\n\nThe fire service is keen to increase public awareness of the dangers of wildfires and would also like to see a network of signs erected at popular countryside spots which tell people the current status of the wildfire threat.\n\nMr Farquharson said better education of visitors to the countryside was also needed.\n\nHe said: \"Disposable barbeques remain a problem but also the increase in wild camping can create issues, such as what appears to be a decrease in the knowledge of how to build and run a safe camp fire.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Snooker\n\nReigning champion Mark Williams is fit to resume his second-round World Championship match after being taken to hospital with chest pains.\n\nThe 44-year-old Welshman went to Northern General Hospital after his opening session against David Gilbert.\n\nHe returned to the Crucible on Saturday morning to continue the match, which he is trailing 5-3.\n\nThe three-time world champion tweeted on Friday evening: \"A&E.

This is important for us now.\"\n\nThe sound of distant shelling and artillery fire has become familiar in Tripoli once again. For the past three weeks forces loyal to General Khalifa Haftar have been blocked at the outskirts of the city. The military strongman from Eastern Libya has not been strong enough to take the capital.\n\nBut there are fears that his offensive could deteriorate into all-out war, and allow the so-called Islamic State to regroup in Libya. Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha, shares these concerns.\n\nHe said the attack on Tripoli was \"the ignition of a civil war\" and that IS fighters from Iraq and Syria could take advantage of the chaos to enter Libya.\n\n\"This is the best time,\" he told the BBC. \"ISIS always look for any conflicts or fighting and they come immediately. It will be very difficult to fight them again.\"\n\nAbout 700 Libyan fighters were killed in the operation to drive IS from its coastal stronghold in the city of Sirt, in 2016. The minister warned that if IS fighters can re establish themselves in Libya they can travel with ease to their target - Europe.\n\nThe minister insisted that the prison where Abedi is being held is secure, despite the conflict threatening the capital.

He was supported by his family and got the attention of the Russians. The season ended with a cliffhanger - could Trump the outsider actually win?!\n\nIt's been a while since all of this happened, so let's remind you of the key players in this season.\n\nWho was he? Donald Trump, the billionaire candidate (who by Season Three is the 45th president of the United States). If you really need a refresher, here's his life story.\n\nKey plot line As Donald Trump was busy traversing the country canvassing for votes in Season One, Russia hacked into the emails of his Democratic rivals, investigators later said.\n\nThe question is why? Was the Kremlin trying to alter the outcome of the election, and what did Trump and his campaign know?\n\nSkip forward to the end of Season Four and Mr Trump stood triumphant before reporters in a Florida airport, celebrating what he called \"a complete and total exoneration\".\n\nBut in between, there was no shortage of drama or tension.\n\nWho was he? He was Trump's campaign chairman before being forced to quit over his ties to Russian oligarchs and Ukraine.\n\nKey plot line He was one of the biggest dominoes to fall. When he ended up being arrested, it was a big season-ending shocker.\n\nManafort hung around a bit in Season One, but then disappeared from view for a while.\n\nHe quit the campaign after being accused of having links to pro-Russian groups in Ukraine. He also sat in on a crucial meeting with a Russian lawyer who may have been trying to feed the Trump team classified information (more on that later).\n\nAfter an FBI raid on his home in Season Three, Manafort was found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and failing to disclose foreign banks accounts and is sentenced to 47 months in prison.\n\nIn Season Four, he agreed to co-operate with a special counsel inquiry in exchange for a reduced prison term. But then, in a twist - prosecutors claimed he breached his plea bargain by repeatedly lying to the FBI.\n\nRead more: The man who helped Trump win\n\nWho was he? The president's eldest child, who it emerged met some questionable Russians.\n\nKey plot line Donald Trump Jr's role in this unfolding saga all came down to a meeting he had with a Russian lawyer, which was set up by a music publicist (the full details of which come out in Season Three). If it sounds random, then in many ways it is.\n\nThe publicist, Rob Goldstone, offered Trump Jr a meeting with lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, promising him dirt on Hillary Clinton.\n\nThis meeting was the key to much of our plot line because it raised several key questions. Did this amount to the campaign colluding with a foreign government? Why did he agree to the meeting?\n\nWhat happened at the meeting was the scene investigators played over and over again as they tried to work out if there was any impropriety. In the end, no collusion charges were brought.\n\nDonald Trump confounded his critics by winning the presidency. But the transition was as gripping as the season before it as Trump picked his cabinet, introducing key characters to the mix.\n\nThe season ended with Trump taking the oath of office on a cold January morning - but there were more twists to come.\n\nWho was he? The granite-faced former general who later became the shortest-serving member of Donald Trump's cabinet. He resigned after not being honest about his contact with a Russian official - and was later charged with making false statements to the FBI.\n\nKey plot line Flynn was appointed national security adviser just days after the election, against the advice of then-President Obama, who warned Trump not to hire him. Flynn's starring role came in December 2016, just before Trump was sworn in, when he spoke to the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak.\n\nThe Washington Post and New York Times said the men discussed Russian sanctions, and that Flynn later lied to the Vice President Mike Pence about the conversation (Mr Kislyak says the men discussed only \"simple things\").\n\nThe substance of those talks eventually led to Flynn being prosecuted as part of the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller.\n\nAt the end of Season Three, in December 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to making \"false, fictitious and fraudulent statements\" to the FBI about what he and Kislyak discussed.\n\nWith that, the investigation reached Trump's inner circle.\n\nRead more: Out after 23 days - who is Michael Flynn?\n\nWho was he? Many roads in this drama led back to Sergei Kislyak, the jolly and charismatic figure, who up until July 2017 was the Russian ambassador to Washington.\n\nKey plot line Kislyak's role in this drama remained unclear up to the end - but many of the players in this drama had meetings with him, and that put them in awkward spots.\n\nThe key questions for investigators were: why were they drawn to him, and what was said? The Russian ambassador spoke to both Flynn and Attorney-General Jeff Sessions - meetings which both Trump officials didn't initially acknowledge took place.\n\nAnything else we should know? Well, Russia fiercely fought back against claims on CNN that Kislyak was a \"top spy and recruiter of spies\".\n\nWho was he? Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III hovered in the background during Season One, when he was an Alabama senator and a trusted Trump adviser, but we really got to know him during Season Two, when he became Trump's nominee for attorney general, a job he kept for almost two years.\n\nKey plot line Sessions was one of several Trump aides to meet Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak, and question marks emerged over the nature of those meetings.\n\nWhen the FBI investigation focused on the Trump campaign, Sessions stood down from the inquiry, much to Trump's irritation.\n\nThat decision to step down dogged him to the end, and he was written out of the series close to the end of Season Four, when Trump forced him to resign.\n\nThat move put control of the Mueller investigation into the hands of a Trump loyalist.\n\nRead more: An attorney general dogged by scandal\n\nThis was where the drama really picked up and all the plot lines came together. A lot of the background characters we saw in Season One came back with a vengeance and the infighting got nasty - and this is when the police started circling.\n\nWho was she? A Russian lawyer with a fearsome reputation who fought against US restrictions on Russia. But was she a Kremlin stooge?\n\nDespite earlier denials, she admitted in April 2018 to being an \"informant\" for Russia's prosecutor general.\n\nKey plot line Hers was a small but crucial role - she's the one who Manafort, Trump Jr and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met in June 2016, the details of which begin trickling out a year later in a flashback sequence.\n\nShe said the meeting was to discuss adoptions - but those who helped set it up said she was offering dirt on the Democrats and Hillary Clinton's campaign.\n\nWhile the meeting became a central plot point, whatever happened inside never actually led to any charges.\n\nThat meeting would never have happened without...\n\nWho were they? Emin Agalarov is Azerbaijan's biggest pop star, of course. Have you not heard Love is a Deadly Game? Emin helped bring Donald Trump's Miss Universe competition to Russia and the two are close enough to send each other birthday messages. His dad, Aras, is a billionaire who mixes in the highest circles of influence in Moscow.\n\nKey plot line Again in a flashback scene, we met Emin as he set the wheels in motion on that Trump Jr meeting.\n\nAn email sent to Trump Jr suggested Emin was offering information on the Democrats (Emin said he wasn't). The email also said Aras Agalarov had apparently met the \"crown prosecutor\" of Russia - a role that weirdly didn't exist - and got information on Hillary Clinton.\n\nWho was he? He became deputy attorney general under Jeff Sessions. In the TV drama of the Russia scandal, this is the sort of role that would go to a solid Broadway actor you recognise but can't put a name to.\n\nKey plot line When Sessions stood down from leading the main investigation into the Trump-Russia ties, it fell to Rosenstein to do that job. In a major plot development, he appointed a special investigator - not a popular move with the White House.\n\nRead more: Who is Rod Rosenstein?\n\nWho was he? Married to Trump's daughter, Ivanka, Kushner was the character who was seen but very rarely heard.\n\nKey plot line Amid cries of nepotism, he was given a plum White House job as senior adviser to the president with a wide-ranging portfolio. It was his contacts with the Russians during the election campaign and beyond that led investigators to circle him.\n\nIn June 2016, Kushner attended THAT meeting with Donald Trump Jr and the Russian lawyer. He said he was so bored he messaged his assistant to call him so he could leave.\n\nKushner was also another character who had repeated contact with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak - contact that he initially failed to disclose.\n\nRead more: The son-in-law with Trump's ear\n\nWho was he? A British former tabloid journalist, with a penchant for selfies in silly hats, was perhaps an unlikely addition to the cast, but in most good dramas there's always room for the slightly out-of-place eccentric.\n\nKey plot line Rob Goldstone found his way into Donald Trump's circle of trust thanks to his connections with Russian pop star Emin Agalarov.\n\nGoldstone managed the pop star, and it was he who contacted Donald Trump Jr on behalf of his client to set up that now-infamous meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016. Goldstone sent an email to Trump Jr promising dirt on Hillary Clinton.\n\nRead more: The Music Man with a love for hats\n\nWho was he? At 6ft 8in, James Comey was a towering figure, the character who gave little away about himself personally but had a huge role in this story.\n\nKey plot line He first entered this drama in Season One, when as head of the FBI he reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails - just weeks before the election. Democrats blamed him for her loss, Republicans hailed him a hero. That, we thought, was the last we'd seen of him.\n\nJump ahead to Season Three, when months into the Trump presidency, Comey was fired by the new president. In true television drama style, he learned of his sacking as he was watching TV news during a trip to LA. Up to then, Comey was heading up an investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.\n\nEven by the end of the series, whether this amounted to obstruction of justice by the president remained an unresolved plot point.\n\nComey's testimony to the Senate was one of the most set-pieces in the series up to this point, as - under oath - he told politicians he was asked to pledge loyalty to the president, but refused.\n\nRead more: The FBI director who took centre stage\n\nWho was he? A former election adviser to Trump, although you'd be forgiven if you didn't remember the face. He was in only a few scenes in Season Two, but he had a massive role to play in Season Three, becoming the first person to plead guilty as part of the investigation.\n\nKey plot line In late October 2017, court documents emerged showing Papadopoulos had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about the timing of meetings with alleged go-betweens for Russia.\n\nAfter lying to the FBI, he deleted an incriminating Facebook account and destroyed a phone.\n\nHis guilty plea and co-operation with the investigation had the potential to damage the US leader because it related directly to his campaign - but in the end, it didn't do so.\n\nWho was he? The man who held the fate of the Trump presidency in his hands.\n\nKey plot line Some characters wielded a lot of power, but didn't have a starring role, such as Robert Mueller, the tall chiselled figure who was appointed as \"special counsel\" to take over the Russia investigation after the dismissal of James Comey. Mueller came from the same stock as Comey - both were former heads of the FBI.\n\nThere were no showboating scenes and powerhouses speeches from Mueller in this series - we only ever saw him studiously working in his office.\n\nThere were reports that the president considered firing Mueller at one point - but Mueller stayed in the background doing his job until the very end of the series.\n\nAfter Season Three ended with the first charges being laid down by Robert Mueller, things really sped up in Season Four. The president's fury with the special counsel investigation increased and he fired his Attorney-General. But the series ended with no charges laid against the president and a sense of victory in the White House. Might we see a spin-off series...?\n\nWho was he? OK, he wasn't Putin's chef by this point, but he once was. In Season Four, he was the man accused of spearheading Russia's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.\n\nKey plot line A little out of the blue, Mueller announced charges against Prigozhin and 12 other Russians, accusing them of tampering with the US election by (among other things) organising and promoting political rallies in the US.\n\nIn one surreal flashback sequence, we even see the Russians trying to buy a cage large enough to hold an actress dressed as Hillary Clinton in a prison costume.\n\nRead more: Seven key takeaways from indictment\n\nWho was he? The man who once said he would take a bullet for Donald Trump - but who instead turned against him.\n\nKey plot line Cohen, as Trump's long-time personal lawyer, lingered around the edges of the plot for the first three seasons, but became the big player of the fourth.\n\nWhen Mueller's team began looking into Cohen's finances, they passed on their concerns to investigators in New York.\n\nThen the plot took an unexpected new turn: Cohen, a long-time Trump loyalist, flipped and began co-operating with investigators. Not only that, but he ended up giving them a lot of help in exchange for a lighter sentence.\n\nCohen ended up admitting violating campaign finance laws, committing tax evasion and lying to Congress.\n\nThe last shot of the entire series was a mournful Cohen being locked into his jail cell.\n\nWho was he? A long-time Washington political operative who acted as an informal adviser to the Trump campaign. He called himself an agent provocateur, and once defended his actions by saying: \"One man's dirty trick is another man's political, civic action.\"\n\nKey plot line Stone was one of those memorable bit-part characters in Seasons One and Two - a colourful character known for his fiery tongue, sharp suits and the Richard Nixon tattoo spread across his back.\n\nTowards the end of Season One, he appeared to let the cat out of the bag, hinting on Twitter that there was damaging information coming out on Hillary Clinton. Soon after, that information (that we later learned was found by Russia) was made public.\n\nAfter a bit of a lull in the middle of Season Four, investigators indicted Stone on seven counts of witness tampering, obstruction and false statements, although he wasn't charged with co-ordinating with Russia.\n\nAll the way through, he denied any wrongdoing. He, like the president, called the investigation a \"witch-hunt\" and once said the accusations of collusion with Russia were \"a steaming plate of bull\".\n\nText by Rajini Vaidyanathan and Roland Hughes; illustrations by Gerry Fletcher", "Finally. At last. The day has come. The Mueller report. It is here.\n\nAnd for all the hype, the expectation that Washington and cable news specialises in, on the one to 10 scale where one is a barely audible whimper and 10 is the eruption of a Krakatoan volcano, this is almost certainly going to be at the lower decibel end.\n\nWhy do I say that? Because the Attorney general, Bill Barr, blew any cliff-hanger season finale moment with his four-page letter summarising the findings.\n\nOn collusion with Russia, there was none. On whether the president obstructed justice, the Mueller report was more equivocal.\n\nAnd that is fascinating and why we shouldn't just roll over and go back to sleep.\n\nDonald Trump has made clear what he thinks it amounts to: \"Total exoneration.\"\n\nBut the one sentence of the report that was released in the attorney general's summary is far more tantalising.\n\nMueller wrote: \"While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it does not exonerate him.\" And what that amounts to is going to engulf debate once this report lands.\n\nJonathan Turley is the incredibly well plugged in professor of law at George Washington University.\n\n\"Critics of Trump will come in and they will look specifically at obstruction and find a lot of material there, of conduct that may not be indictable but certainly could be contemptible, or even impeachable.\n\n\"For Trump supporters they will look at the collusion section and say 'that's what started all this and they found nothing, and this whole narrative proved to be false.'\"\n\nThe frustrating part about when we eventually get our hands on the report will be how much of it is redacted.\n\nHelpfully the excisions will be colour-coded. One colour if it is intel too sensitive for public consumption; another if it is material being considered by a grand jury; another still if it is criticism of a third party who hasn't been indicted.\n\nIn other words it might look more like a colouring book than a report.\n\nSo should we expect Democrats to create a hue and cry? Back to my one is a whimper and 10 is volcanic scale, I think they will be around the seven to eight mark.\n\nAlready Democratic party-controlled committees in the House of Representatives are issuing subpoenas to get access to all sorts of information.\n\nThey will reject the 'there's nothing to see here, just keep moving along the sidewalk, ladies and gentlemen' - Donald Trump's opponents will insist there are questions to be answered.\n\nBut out on the stump across the country it feels different - remember in the US you are never far away from an election.\n\nAt the moment there is a heap of Democratic hopefuls hurtling around the country honing messages for 2020. They are debating jobs, the environment, taxes, health, immigration. But Mueller? Not so much.\n\nNancy Pelosi, the strategically astute Speaker of the House, said this on a trip to Europe this week:\n\n\"People are concerned about their kitchen table issues: are they going to be able to pay the bills. So I have not been one of these focusers on impeachment and reports and the rest of that, let the chips fall where they may when we have the evidence and the facts.\"\n\nNow this needs decoding a bit.\n\nShe's not giving the president a clean bill of health. What she's saying is the last thing Democrats need is a messy and almost certainly futile attempt at impeachment; much better to have a president who is wounded and weakened by Mueller.\n\nOne other thing: Timing. It's the day before Good Friday. It is Spring Break. American schoolchildren are on holiday. Some families are at the beach. In the national parks. Enjoying Easter.\n\nAnd on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are never more than a few yards from a microphone, they're in recess.\n\nIt's no accident that the Justice Department is releasing the Mueller report today.", "Facebook \"unintentionally\" uploaded the email contacts of more than 1.5 million users without asking permission to do so, the social network has admitted.\n\nThe data harvesting happened via a system used to verify the identity of new members,\n\nFacebook asked new users to supply the password for their email account, and took a copy of their contacts.\n\nFacebook said it had now changed the way it handled new users to stop contacts being uploaded.\n\nAll those users whose contacts were taken would be notified and all the contacts it had grabbed without consent would be deleted, it said.\n\nThe information grabbed is believed to have been used by Facebook to help map social and personal connections between users.\n\nAnyone who, like me, joined Facebook a decade or more ago, probably clicked \"yes\" when invited to upload all of their contacts.\n\nIt seemed a good way of making the network more useful and, after all, what could be the harm? But after the various data scandals shattered trust in Facebook, we've become far more cautious.\n\nWe've woken up to the harms that could come from handing over that precious information about our social connections - for journalists it could mean revealing their contacts, for whistleblowers their dealings with regulators, for just about anyone their contacts with people they might not want their partners to know about.\n\nNow we know that Facebook somehow scraped up the email contacts of 1.5 million people over a three year period without their agreement. Now every time the social network suggests \"people you may know\", we will wonder \"How do you know that I may know them?\"\n\nTo many, the idea that they should trust Facebook with their data seems more old-fashioned by the day.\n\nContacts started being taken without consent in May 2016, the company told Business Insider, which broke the story.\n\nBefore this date, new users were asked if they wanted to verify their identity via their email account. They were also asked if they wanted to upload their address book voluntarily.\n\nThis option and the text specifying that contacts were being grabbed was changed in May 2016 but the underlying code that actually scraped contacts was left intact, said Facebook.\n\nIreland's Data Protection Commissioner, which oversees Facebook in Europe, is engaged with the firm to understand what happened and its consequences.\n\nThe email contacts case is the latest in a long series in which Facebook has mishandled the data of some of its billions of users.\n\nIn late March, Facebook found that the passwords of about 600 million users were stored internally in plain text for months.\n\nThe ongoing breaches and other criticisms of Facebook are also prompting some high-profile users to bow out. The latest is Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who said she had \"quit\" the social network.\n\nIn an interview with a Yahoo News podcast she said: \"I personally gave up Facebook, which was kind of a big deal because I started my campaign on Facebook.\"", "People in Arkansas say they are happy the report has been released to the public - for different reasons.\n\nSome Arkansans say that the report will give the public a chance to see what government officials have been up to and will help to expose how some of these officials have worked against the president and tried to damage his reputation.\n\nWalter Smith, who is now retired and lives near Russellville, Arkansas, he says the report will help to shed light on those in “the deep state”, as he put it. He defines Deep Staters as “Trump haters” such as the former FBI director, James Comey, and “all those around him”, says Smith.\n\nSmith says he hopes that the Mueller report will help to ensure that Comey and his associates will “get in trouble and get indicted” and be held accountable for the ways they were “working against the presidency”.\n\nOthers are also pleased with the fact that the report has been released because it gives them access to more information. “The more transparency, the better,” says David Cullen, a history professor at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville.\n\nStill, Mr Cullen, who is a political independent, says that he was disappointed with the conclusions of Robert Mueller’s report and says he wished Mr Mueller had been able to collect more evidence against the president. Mr Cullen’s own view of the president is clear: “I think he broke the law.\"\n\nMr Mueller fell short, Mr Cullen says, in his pursuit of the truth.\n\n“He didn’t have hard evidence so he cannot go to court. But he still thought it was in the legal purview of Congress to continue the investigation.”\n\nMr Cullen says he is eager to see what members of Congress will do in their efforts to find out what the president has done.\n\nFayetteville resident Doug Thompson, a Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette political writer, says that the report shows the president may be guilty of crimes.\n\n“It means that all those claims he’s been exonerated are made in bad faith. It clearly does not say that,” says Mr Thompson.\n\n“The money quote”, Mr Thompson says, is the line where Mr Mueller says that they would have cleared the president if they could have.", "The Elizabeth Line had been due to open in December 2018\n\nCrossrail could be delayed until 2021, according to a senior source associated with the project to build a new railway underneath central London.\n\nThe east-west route, officially called the Elizabeth Line, will run between Reading and Shenfield in Essex and had been due to open in December 2018.\n\nCrossrail said testing of the trains and signalling was \"progressing well\".\n\nBut sources told the BBC this phase - known as dynamic testing - was \"proving more difficult than was first thought\".\n\nThe source said: \"It all depends on how dynamic testing goes between now and the end of this year.\"\n\n\"The last quarter of this year will be a critical period for the testing.\"\n\nOnce dynamic testing is complete then trial runs will commence. This will effectively be a simulation of the timetable in real time.\n\nThe source said, with the current state of the project in mind, a \"best case scenario\" would be the new Elizabeth Line opening in spring 2020.\n\nA \"middle probability case\" would be the summer of next year.\n\n\"A worst case is the spring of 2021.\"\n\nTwo other senior rail sources say this assessment is credible.

They then had to deal with the gut-punch of Sterling's stoppage-time goal, only to be hit by a wave of relief and joy at VAR's final decisive intervention.\n\nThis was all done without striker and talisman Harry Kane, but once again Son rose to the responsibility, the classy South Korean typifying their bold approach with his superb movement and those two vital early goals.\n\nSpurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris - rightly criticised after his mistake gifted Liverpool victory at Anfield recently - also deserves huge praise after his penalty save from Aguero in the first leg and crucial stops from the Argentine and De Bruyne in the return.\n\nThis was a Spurs side, it should be remembered, who needed a draw in Barcelona to reach the group stage after a damaging defeat at Inter Milan and draw at PSV Eindhoven.\n\nIt is a tribute to the resilience of this squad - and Pochettino's management of his resources - that they not only achieved that but now stand two games away from their first Champions League final.\n\nThey survived an all-out assault from City to achieve it. How they deserved those celebrations.\n• None 'Thoughts with those that don't like football' - world celebrates Man City v Spurs classic\n• None Football Daily: A modern classic - 'This game had absolutely everything'\n\nCity's fans gave their players a standing ovation after the chance of finally winning the Champions League - and claiming that haul of four trophies - eluded them on this sensational night.\n\nAnd it was hard to criticise a team who, in this game, were scintillating going forward and a magnificent sight in full cry for long periods.\n\nCity's downfall was the sloppy defending that let Spurs back in after Sterling's opener, the normally reliable Laporte diverting Dele Alli's pass into Son's path for the equaliser before the Frenchman's heavy touch led to Son's second.\n\nGuardiola's players slumped to the turf as the final whistle sounded but they will not be allowed to stay down for long. It is back to business in the Premier League on Saturday. Their opponents? Spurs.\n\nThere will be no genuine consolation for City after a night such as this, but what stood out was the sheer relentless quality of De Bruyne, back to his best after an injury-troubled season, while Sterling continues to go from strength to strength.\n\nBoth men will be key to City's bid to overhaul Liverpool in the Premier League title race before they meet Watford in the FA Cup final, but the disappointment of missing out on the trophy that would confirm the club's status as a European superpower will remain.\n\n'Today is tough' - what they said\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola: \"It is cruel but it is what it is and we have to accept it.\n\n\"I am so proud of the players and the fans.

When he took charge, they were ranked 32nd but have dropped 12 places to their current ranking of 44th.\n\nScotland have averaged just 1.17 goals per game - the third-lowest return by any manager since their last major tournament outing in 1998 - and conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match. That figure is worse than the 1.1 conceded under Strachan but also surpasses the poor performances under Craig Levein, George Burley and Berti Vogts.\n\nMcLeish has also used 46 players in his 12-game tenure.

It's been a humiliating and troubling end on many fronts.\n\nHe should never have been appointed. McLeish's track record in management in recent years has been very poor and yet he got the job. He was a diminished character even before Alan McRae, his old pal and the Scottish FA's president, and Rod Petrie, the vice-president, unveiled him as the new manager. Serious questions must be asked of both of these men. Neither of them should be allowed anywhere near the next appointment. They are hugely discredited by this.\n\nMcLeish was under pressure from day one and didn't have the capacity to deal with it. It was painful to watch at times.

It was seen on screens from China to the US.\n\nBuilt from the late 12th Century, Notre-Dame was a trailblazer in the development of the Gothic style and is one of its most recognisable examples.\n\nThe uplifting brightness of the interior demonstrates the masons' aspiration to manipulate light and space as well as stone and mortar.\n\nOutside the west facade is a vast billboard of sculpted figures composed to harmonise with the architectural structure and to convey the historic might of the medieval church.\n\nNotre-Dame is more though than a paean to the Middle Ages. Its foundations rest on the most ancient inhabited site in Paris, the Celtic town of Lutetia, dating back to at least the first century BCE.\n\nNotre-Dame \"gargoyles\" look out over the city\n\nIts location on an island between two branches of the Seine sets it apart from the city, although in its midst. It breaks the flow of the river and in doing so subdues it.\n\nNotre-Dame was built from the 1160s at the instigation of Bishop Maurice de Sully to replace a vast Seventh Century cathedral on more or less the same site.\n\nWith its innovative floor-plan and complex multi-storied west front, it lies at the forefront of the French Gothic movement. St Denis though, in Paris's northern suburbs, was feeling its ways in that direction some 30 years before.\n\nHowever, the significance of Notre-Dame in terms of public affection surely lies in the role it plays in the emergence of France.\n\nIf its kings were crowned at Reims and buried in St Denis, geographically and historically Notre-Dame stands at its heart.\n\nThe building grew with the nation.\n\nThe decades which marked its construction saw Normandy and the South-West absorbed into its political orbit. Its university led intellectual thought in Europe and King Louis IX was recognised and subsequently canonised for his piety.\n\nLater, in the 1790s, Notre-Dame was again at the centre of change across France.\n\nIn the same way when France was wracked by revolutionary unrest, the cathedral was ransacked and disfigured by zealots.\n\nThe physical scars left on Notre-Dame were, almost symbolically, both grave and permanent.\n\nSculptural fragments from the west facade were rescued from the site and are now in the city's Musée de Cluny. They serve as a ghostly reminder of what Notre-Dame had been, how it had come to represent privilege and the status quo, and why it was reviled by the Paris mob.\n\nWhen stability of a kind returned, it was reincarnated in the Neo-Gothic restoration work of the remarkable Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, saviour almost singlehandedly of France's Medieval architectural legacy.\n\nThe famous grotesque \"gargoyles\" that he added to the parapets leer over to the opposite river banks and the new Classically-inspired city layout being created by Baron Haussmann at much the same time.\n\nNotre-Dame is not only a mirror of the nation's history but a waymarker in the modern life of the city.\n\nIt is not simply a thoroughfare across the river but a destination in its own right.\n\nThe 19th Century system of arrondissements radiates from Notre-Dame; the map of the Metro constellates around the Île de la Cité on which it stands; river boats run up on either side, as does traffic by the Seine.\n\nSmall wonder then that Notre-Dame has an indelible place in the hearts of Parisians, and also in those of her endless stream of visitors.\n\nSmall wonder too that the burning fireball seemed to so many like a heart wrenched from a body.\n\nThe image is apt because, in many ways, a great building is like a living thing.\n\nParts of it fall away and are replaced, parts are added and others demolished, parts are joined together and others divided up.\n\nSnapshots taken of such a building, say, every 50 years, would demonstrate visible changes.\n\nSomeone looking at Canterbury Cathedral in 1100, for example, would see nothing at all in the fabric which remains in the building above ground level now.\n\nA building therefore is an elusive concept, and our response to it is as much to do with how we think of it in our hopes and our memories as it to do with its physical appearance.\n\nIn past centuries these gradual changes were frequently punctuated by catastrophe.\n\nParis Mayor Anne Hidalgo and wife of the French president, Brigitte Macron, attend a service\n\nMedieval accounts abound with collapses, earthquakes, and especially fire.\n\nIn England, the cathedrals at Winchester, Ely and Wells lost their crossing towers; Lincoln was destroyed by an earthquake, leaving just its west facade standing.\n\nIn France, 12th Century Chartres burnt to the ground, and Beauvais' crossing tower, the highest ever built, fell down within a decade of its construction.\n\nMost were rebuilt afresh in the latest fashion.\n\nFrom a great fire, the Gothic cathedral of Chartres with its unprecedented programme of stained glass arose. And from a pile of rubble, the ingenious wooden lantern which is the Ely octagon was constructed.\n\nYet Chartres is still Chartres and Ely is still Ely.\n\nEven buildings left as bereft fragments have not lost their identity. Nor is Notre-Dame lost until those who love it have gone.\n\nWhat will happen now? Will that Neo-Gothic lead spire be replaced by a Neo-Neo Gothic one?\n\nOr will Paris take a tip from the Middle Ages and rebuild what is ruined in a new way?\n\nAnd there is good news - the rose windows and the organ are saved, many works of art were carried unharmed from the flames; the courage and efficiency of the firefighters is uplifting; the determination to rebuild heart-warming.\n\nThe signs are that Notre-Dame, like so many great churches in the past, will rise phoenix-like from the ashes.\n\nIf imagination and boldness are given rein, it may shine even more brightly than before.\n\nThis analysis piece was commissioned by the BBC from an expert working for an outside organisation.\n\nDr Catherine Oakes is an expert in medieval art and architecture and is director of studies for History of Art at the University of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education.", "Samsung's folding phone was shown off for the first time earlier this year\n\nEarlier this week, Samsung sent out its remarkable new folding smartphone to a number of media outlets, including the BBC.\n\nPerhaps now it wishes it hadn’t.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Climate Change - The Facts is available to watch on BBC iPlayer\n\nSir David Attenborough has issued his strongest statement yet on the threat posed to the world by climate change.\n\nIn the BBC programme Climate Change - The Facts, the veteran broadcaster outlined the scale of the crisis facing the planet.\n\nSir David said we face \"irreversible damage to the natural world and the collapse of our societies\".\n\nBut there is still hope, he said, if dramatic action to limit the effects is taken over the next decade.\n\nSir David's new programme laid out the science behind climate change, the impact it is having right now and the steps that can be taken to fight it.\n\n\"In the 20 years since I first started talking about the impact of climate change on our world, conditions have changed far faster than I ever imagined,\" Sir David stated in the film.\n\n\"It may sound frightening, but the scientific evidence is that if we have not taken dramatic action within the next decade, we could face irreversible damage to the natural world and the collapse of our societies.\"\n\nSpeaking to a range of scientists, the programme highlighted that temperatures are rising quickly, with the world now around 1C warmer than before the industrial revolution.\n\n\"There are dips and troughs and there are some years that are not as warm as other years,\" said Dr Peter Stott from the Met Office.\n\n\"But what we have seen is the steady and unremitting temperature trend. Twenty of the warmest years on record have all occurred in the last 22 years.\"\n\nThe programme showed dramatic scenes of people escaping from wildfires in the US, as a father and son narrowly escape with their lives when they drive into an inferno.\n\nScientists say that the dry conditions that make wildfires so deadly are increasing as the planet heats up.\n\nGreenland is losing ice five times as fast as it was 25 years ago\n\nSome of the other impacts highlighted by scientists are irreversible.\n\n\"In the last year we've had a global assessment of ice losses from Antarctica and Greenland and they tell us that things are worse than we'd expected,\" said Prof Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds.\n\n\"The Greenland ice sheet is melting, it's lost four trillion tonnes of ice and it's losing five times as much ice today as it was 25 years ago.\"\n\nThese losses are driving up sea levels around the world. The programme highlights the threat posed by rising waters to people living on the Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana, forcing them from their homes.\n\n\"In the US, Louisiana is on the front line of this climate crisis. It's losing land at one of the fastest rates on the planet - at the rate of of a football field every 45 minutes,\" said Colette Pichon Battle, a director of the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy.\n\nPeople are moving from parts of Louisiana in the US as a result of rising waters\n\n\"The impact on families is going to be something I don't think we could ever prepare for.\"\n\nSir David's concern over the impacts of climate change has become a major focus for the naturalist in recent years.\n\nThis has also been a theme of his Our Planet series on Netflix. His new BBC programme has a strong emphasis on hope.\n\nSir David argues that if dramatic action is taken over the next decade then the world can keep temperatures from rising more than 1.5C this century. This would limit the scale of the damage.\n\n\"We are running out of time, but there is still hope,\" said Sir David.\n\n\"I believe that if we better understand the threat we face the more likely it is we can avoid such a catastrophic future.\"\n\nThe programme said that rapid progress is being made in renewable energy, with wind now as cheap as fossil fuels in many cases. It shows how technologies to remove and bury carbon dioxide under the ground are now becoming more viable.\n\nBut politicians will need to act decisively and rapidly.\n\n\"This is the brave political decision that needs to be taken,\" said Chris Stark from the UK's Committee on Climate Change.\n\nTeenage campaigner Greta Thunberg has helped spark school strikes all over the world\n\n\"Do we incur a small but not insignificant cost now, or do we wait and see the need to adapt. The economics are really clear on this, the costs of action are dwarfed by the costs of inaction.\"\n\nThe programme also highlights the rising generation of young people who are deeply concerned about what's happening to the planet.\n\nSwedish teenager Greta Thunberg explained that things can change quickly, despite the scale of the challenge on climate change.\n\n\"The first day I sat all alone,\" she said, speaking of her decision to go on strike from school and sit outside the Swedish parliament to highlight the climate crisis.\n\n\"But on the second day, people started joining me...

London sewers.\n\nThe 330ft-long (100m) mass, weighing 105 tonnes, was caused by people pouring concrete into the sewers.\n\nIt could take two months and cost £150,000 to remove from the Victorian-era sewer under Hall Street, Islington.\n\nThames Water operations manager, Alex Saunders, said the concreteberg was the largest the company had ever seen.\n\nMr Saunders added: \"Normally blockages are caused by fat, oil and wet wipes building up in the sewer, but unfortunately in this case it's rock-hard concrete.\n\n\"It's in there and set to the Victorian brickwork, so we need to chip away at it to get it removed.\n\n\"This is not the first time damage has been caused by people pouring concrete into our sewers but it's certainly the worst we've seen.\"\n\nA 250m-long fatberg weighing 130 tonnes was found under Whitechapel in 2017\n\nWorkers will have to manually chip away at the mass using tools including jackhammer pneumatic drills and high-pressure jets.\n\nTankers will also be

Carseview\n\nAn NHS mental health unit in Dundee restrained patients by pinning them down for too long and in a dangerous position, according to a leaked report.\n\nThe internal inquiry into the Carseview Centre was commissioned in response to a BBC Scotland documentary last year.\n\nIt exposed bullying and potentially life-threatening restraint on patients.\n\nProf Peter Tyrer, who chaired the group that wrote the NICE guidelines on restraint in mental health, said the report was \"shocking\".\n\n\"I've seen reports like this before but not quite as damning as this,\" he said.\n\nThe report has not been made public but has been seen by the BBC.\n\nIt found that untrained staff were carrying out risky restraints on patients and that the number of restraints was high.\n\nIt said face-down, and particularly face down in a prone position, are the highest tariff interventions of physical restraint, and the most dangerous techniques to deploy.\n\nCarseview Centre was the focus of a BBC documentary last year\n\nThe report looked at a sample of 40 cases and found more than half were patients being restrained face down on the floor for longer than 30 minutes.\n\nThe longest restraint was one hour and 45 minutes.\n\n\"That is completely against all guidelines,\" Prof Tyrer said.\n\n\"You may have to do things for five minutes or up to 10 minutes but to go beyond 40 minutes there is something badly wrong in the organisation of a unit if that is allowed to continue.\"\n\nProf Peter Tyrer chaired the group which wrote the guidelines on how to handle mental health patients\n\nCarseview is a hospital to care for patients with mental illness from depression and anxiety to schizophrenia and psychosis.\n\nIn July last year, BBC Scotland broadcast allegations by patients of bullying by staff, illegal drug-taking and being pinned to the floor unnecessarily.\n\nExperts called it abusive and said the unit should be closed down.\n\nNHS Tayside responded by commissioning an internal report into Carseview to go alongside independent reports into mental health in Tayside.\n\nThe internal report says a whistleblower has come forward and accused Carseview of \"very serious concerns over leadership, safety and malpractice\".\n\nThe internal report has not been seen by the public\n\nIt came up with 11 recommended actions including urgent action on staff training and critical action on illegal drugs on the ward.\n\nIt said the restraint policy should emphasise the safety of patients as well as staff and that the culture of the unit should be \"based around the caring and compassionate leadership approach\".\n\nNHS Tayside said the recommendations covering patient care and culture were \"now being progressed\".\n\nProf Peter Stonebridge, acting medical director for NHS Tayside, said a \"steering group has been established\" to focus on restrictive care practices, including the reduction of face-down restraint.\n\nJoy Duxbury said there seemed to be a toxic environment at the unit\n\nJoy Duxbury, professor of mental health at Manchester Metropolitan University, told BBC Scotland: \"I think this is a terribly toxic environment.\n\n\"The figures on physical restraint are exceptionally worrying.\n\n\"These are very vulnerable clients who are being restrained, in my view, unnecessarily and by far too many staff in too many situations.\n\n\"For me, given what we know about psychological and physical trauma of the use of restraint in such setting, this is of significant concern.\"\n\nMarnie Stirling said the unit was supposed to be about recovery not punishment\n\nMarnie Stirling, who had two stays in Carseview with anxiety and depression, spoke to the BBC documentary last year.\n\nReacting to the report, she said: \"If you think about mental health, it's supposed to be about recovery. This isn't recovery, it's further punishment for people.\"\n\nDavid Fong spent a month in the unit after experiencing psychosis in 2013.\n\nHe claimed staff used restraint violently and repeatedly during his time there.\n\nHis mother Lorraine said: \"This is a total and utter disgrace that this has gone on for seven years and maybe longer.\"\n\nDavid told BBC Scotland that staff were quick to see frustration and anger arising from detainment as aggression.\n\n\"Staff are too keen to initiate restraint and offer little or no de-escalation when no actual aggression has been displayed by the patient,\" he said.\n\nFormer patient David Fong said he had his face rubbed along the floor during restraint\n\n\"I ask how many of these restraints were actually needed and if some are instigated by staff rather than patients?\n\n\"I personally was physically assaulted with the application of intense pain through twisting of arms, wrists and fingers or a member of staff's knee being dug into my back, had my face rubbed into the floor causing loss of skin from my face, and had verbal abuse screamed at me during restraint.\n\n\"I also could not have been the only patient that these tactics were being used upon.\"\n\nA separate report looking at the patient experiences came up with separate 23 recommendations in December.\n\nIt is feeding into an independent inquiry, which was announced

However, this power will not be enforced because ministers believe the threat to block defiant sites will be sufficient and that trying to chase overseas-based entities for payment would have been difficult.\n\nHowever, the government has said that other measures could follow.\n\n\"We know that pornography is available on some social media platforms and we expect those platforms to do a lot more to create a safer environment for children,\" a spokesman for the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) told the BBC.\n\n\"If we do not see action then we do not rule out legislating in the future to force companies to take responsibility for protecting vulnerable users from the potentially harmful content that they host.\"\n\nThe age checks were originally proposed by the now defunct regulator Atvod in 2014 and were enacted into law as part of the the Digital Economy Act 2017. But their rollout had been repeatedly delayed.\n\nUK-hosted pornographic video services already have to verify visitors' ages, as do online gambling platforms.\n\nThe British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) - which gives movies their UK age certificates - will be responsible for regulating the effort. It will instruct internet providers which sites and apps to block for non-compliance. In addition, it can call on payment service providers to pull support, and ask search engines and advertisers to shun an offending business.\n\nThe pornographic platforms themselves will have freedom to choose how to verify UK visitors' ages.\n\nBut the BBFC has said that it will award solutions that adopt \"robust\" data-protection standards with a certificate, allowing them to display a green AV (age verification) symbol on their marketing materials to help consumers make an informed choice.\n\nOne digital rights campaign group questioned the sense of this scheme being voluntary.\n\n\"Having some age verification that is good and other systems that are bad is unfair and a scammer's paradise - of the government's own making,\" said Jim Killock from the Open Rights Group.\n\n\"Data leaks could be disastrous. And they will be the government's own fault.\"\n\nMindgeek, one of the adult industry's biggest players, has developed an online system of its own called AgeID, which it hopes will be widely adopted. It involves adults having to upload scans of their passports or driving licences, which are then verified by a third-party.\n\nIt has said that all the information will be encrypted and that the AgeID system will not keep track of how each users' accounts are used.\n\nMindgeek intends to launch its AgeID system soon in the UK\n\nHigh street stores and newsagents will also sell separate age-verification cards to adults after carrying out face-to-face checks, according to the government.\n\nDubbed \"porn passes\" by the media, the idea is that users would type in a code imprinted on the cards into pornographic websites to gain access to their content.\n\nThe BBFC has said it will also create an online form for members of the public to flag non-compliant sites once the new regulations come into effect.\n\n\"We want to make sure that when these new rules are implemented they are as effective as possible,\" commented the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).\n\n\"To accomplish this, it is crucial the rules keep pace with the different ways that children are exposed to porn online.\"\n\nThe age checks form part of a wider effort by the UK's authorities to make the internet safer to use for young people.\n\nMost recently, DCMS proposed the creation of a new regulator to tackle apps that contain content promoting self-harm and suicide, among other problems.\n\nIn addition, the Information Commissioner's Office has proposed services stop using tools that encourage under-18s to share more personal data about themselves than they would do otherwise.\n\nThe idea of the government keeping a database of verified porn viewers had sounded like a privacy and ethical nightmare.\n\nLuckily it has dodged that bullet. While ministers have ordered porn sites to age-verify users, they have not told them how they must do so.\n\nThat means different sites will have different systems\n\nThose \"porn passes\" that your friendly local newsagent may soon dish out are a theoretical solution, but there is no obligation for any porn site to accept them.\n\nSo, you may potentially have to verify yourself several times for several porn sites.\n\nDespite the introduction of a new kitemark-like badge to identify cyber-security conscious systems, there's still a concern that some will suffer data breaches causing people's adult interests to be exposed.", "George Alagiah has spoken of his guilt at having to use disabled toilets while having no visible disability.\n\nThe BBC newsreader, who has stage four bowel cancer, used the facilities in the past because of having a stoma bag attached to his stomach.\n\nWhen disabled people saw him using the toilets he would feel the need to \"apologise and explain\", he said.\n\nTalking about living with the bag for the first time, Alagiah said it also required him to get his suits altered.\n\nA stoma bag is an opening in the stomach where faeces are collected in a bag after part or all of the bowel is removed due to a disease or obstruction.\n\nAlagiah, 63, returned to presenting duties in January this year after his bowel cancer returned in December 2017.\n\nHe no longer has a stoma bag after undergoing reversal treatment.\n\nSpeaking about living with a stoma on In Conversation With George Alagiah: A Bowel Cancer UK Podcast, he said: \"I used to find it difficult.

wondering whether their political rivals really are genuine about finding common cause.\n\nGuess what, just for a change, the leaderships of both of the main Westminster parties are dealing with boiling tensions on their front and back benches.\n\nAnd they both have reasons to tiptoe towards each other in these cross-party talks, but both sides too have reasons to tread carefully.\n\nIn truth, both sides are serious that they could possibly get serious about a deal, but the obstacles are significant.\n\nThe Tories have still not, and may never feel able to offer a clear promise of pursuing a customs union.\n\nWhat sources familiar with the talks say the focus is right now, is trying to point out to Labour that the existing deal contains the possibility of shaping that kind of arrangement in the future.\n\nIrony upon irony, the backstop which the government has been protesting about for so long provides the ingredients for exactly that kind of relationship with the EU in the long term.\n\nThat is precisely why Brexiteers hated it so much - because they feared (correctly perhaps) it might be used as the basis on which to build the kind of tight trading deal with the EU they seek to avoid.\n\nFor the prime minister to overtly pursue such a deal is already provoking fury in parts of her party - although it's also striking now how frustrated some middle of the road Tory MPs are - fed up of what they see as both \"extremes\", hogging the oxygen and holding everything up.\n\nBut unless and until Theresa May is ready to give a firmer commitment on customs, it is hard to see how Labour would be ready to sign on the dotted line.\n\nAlthough the two sides will meet again in the next 24 hours, Jeremy Corbyn again has expressed his view that the government hasn't shifted any of those red lines.\n\nAnd even if that were to happen, there are (at least!) two other big blocks to success.\n\nThere is deep anxiety in the Labour Party about being able to trust anything that is agreed.\n\nThe government's already promised that they could change the law to give guarantees in the Brexit implementation bill.\n\nBut both sides admit privately even if they came up with some kind of \"lock\", it's just not feasible to rule out any future prime minister ever unpicking the deal.\n\nIn a different era this might not be such a problem.\n\nBut the prime minister has already said that she will quit, and quit once the deal is done.\n\nSo of course, Labour MPs are very nervous about how the promises made in these talks could last.\n\nThat's whether the next leader were to be Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab , Jeremy Hunt or frankly, the Queen of Sheba - it's about the permanence of any promise.\n\nAnd, as I understand it, the two groups, even with serious intention, have not as things stand been able to come up with a formula that guards against this.\n\nSecond of all, officials and politicians in the discussions have talked about the possibility of another referendum on the EU - whether you call it a \"confirmatory vote\", a \"ratificatory referendum\", or a \"people's vote\" - another chance for all of us to have a say.\n\nThis has not though yet been a big focus of the talks - it seems like an issue that has been danced around the edges.\n\nHere's the thing: a hefty chunk of the Labour Party is adamant that they will only back a deal if it comes with a promise of another referendum.\n\nAnd that opinion among Labour backbenchers has been hardening, not softening in recent weeks.\n\nSo even if the talks can find away around the customs conundrum, and then find a \"lock\" to make Labour comfortable with any promises that are made, there is a third profound dilemma.\n\nNumber 10 has always made it abundantly clear that the prime minister believes that's a nightmare not worth contemplating.\n\nThe problem for these talks is that for a big chunk of the parliamentary Labour Party that's the dream they are pursuing.\n\nThere are others who disagree, and disagree profoundly.\n\nBut in terms of making this process work, the Labour Party's votes can't be delivered in one big chunk.\n\nWith huge political imagination, invention, (whose mother after all they say is a necessity, and there's certainly a necessity right now), it is of course possible that this process could get there.\n\nIn this long tangled process a lot of things that have seemed impossible can in the end come to pass.\n\nBut just as both sides in these talks are serious, the problems are serious too.", "Charlie Rowley said he cannot see the Russian president \"taking the blame\"\n\nA man who was exposed to Novichok wants to meet Vladimir Putin in order to \"get to the bottom\" of the poisonings.\n\nCharlie Rowley, 45, said Russia's ambassador has agreed to try to arrange a meeting with the country's president.\n\nMr Rowley's partner Dawn Sturgess died after being exposed to the nerve agent used to attack former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.\n\nHe said previously that he \"didn't really get any answers\" when he met the Russian ambassador.\n\nMr Rowley told BBC Wiltshire he wanted to meet the Russian president to \"get to the bottom of things\".\n\nHe said: \"That would be great, yeah, I'd like to see him, get some face-to-face and ask him on a one-to-one basis, just sort of tick it off the list, say I've done it.\"\n\nThe Skripals were exposed to the nerve agent in in March last year.\n\nMr Rowley and Ms Sturgess, 44, fell ill in Amesbury months later after coming into contact with a perfume bottle believed to have been used in the poisonings and then discarded.\n\nCharlie Rowley was exposed to the same poison used to attack Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia\n\nAsked if the question of meeting Mr Putin had arisen during his meeting with the ambassador, Mr Rowley said: \"It did.

The company had to pay €2m (£1.7m) for under-reporting illegal activity on its platforms in Germany, although the company complained that the new law had lacked clarity.\n\nThe EU is considering a clampdown, specifically on terror videos.\n\nSocial media platforms face fines if they do not delete extremist content within an hour.\n\nThe EU also introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which set rules on how companies, including social media platforms, store and use people's data.\n\nIt has also taken action on copyright. Its copyright directive puts the responsibility on platforms to make sure that copyright infringing content is not hosted on their sites.\n\nPrevious legislation only required the platforms to take down such content if it was pointed out to them.\n\nMember states have until 2021 to implement the directive into their domestic law.\n\nAustralia passed the Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material Act in 2019, introducing criminal penalties for social media companies, possible jail sentences for tech executives for up to three years and financial penalties worth up to 10% of a company's global turnover.\n\nIt followed the live-streaming of the New Zealand shootings on Facebook.\n\nIn 2015, the Enhancing Online Safety Act created an eSafety Commissioner with the power to demand that social media companies take down harassing or abusive posts. In 2018, the powers were expanded to include revenge porn.\n\nThe eSafety Commissioner's office can issue companies with 48-hour \"takedown notices\", and fines of up to 525,000 Australian dollars (£285,000). But it can also fine individuals up to A$105,000 for posting the content.\n\nThe legislation was introduced after the death of Charlotte Dawson, a TV presenter and a judge on Australia's Next Top Model, who killed herself in 2014 following a campaign of cyber-bullying against her on Twitter. She had a long history of depression.\n\nCardboard cut-outs were used at demonstrations over Facebook in Washington and Brussels last year\n\nA law came into force in Russia in November giving regulators the power to switch off connections to the worldwide web \"in an emergency\" although it is not yet clear how effectively they would be able to do this.\n\nRussia's data laws from 2015 required social media companies to store any data about Russians on servers within the country.\n\nIts communications watchdog blocked LinkedIn and fined Facebook and Twitter for not being clear about how they planned to comply with this.\n\nSites such as Twitter, Google and WhatsApp are blocked in China. Their services are provided instead by Chinese providers such as Weibo, Baidu and WeChat.\n\nChinese authorities have also had some success in restricting access to the virtual private networks that some users have employed to bypass the blocks on sites.\n\nThe Cyberspace Administration of China announced at the end of January 2019 that in the previous six months it had closed 733 websites and \"cleaned up\" 9,382 mobile apps, although those are more likely to be illegal gambling apps or copies of existing apps being used for illegal purposes than social media.\n\nChina has hundreds of thousands of cyber-police, who monitor social media platforms and screen messages that are deemed to be politically sensitive.\n\nSome keywords are automatically censored outright, such as references to the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident.\n\nNew words that are seen as being sensitive are added to a long list of censored words and are either temporarily banned, or are filtered out from social platforms.\n\nThis piece was originally published in April 2018 and has been updated to reflect the Ofcom proposals and more recent statistics.", "A top cyber-security official has said Huawei's \"shoddy\" engineering practices mean its mobile network equipment could be banned from Westminster and other sensitive parts of the UK.\n\nGCHQ's Dr Ian Levy told BBC Panorama the Chinese telecom giant also faced being barred from what he described as the \"brains\" of the 5G networks.\n\nThe UK government is expected to reveal in May whether it will restrict or even ban the company's 5G technology.\n\nHuawei said it would address concerns.\n\nLast month, a GCHQ-backed security review of the company said it would be difficult to risk-manage Huawei's future products until defects in its cyber-security processes were fixed.\n\nIt added that technical issues with the company's approach to software development had resulted in vulnerabilities in existing products, which in some cases had not been fixed, despite having being identified in previous versions.\n\nIn his first broadcast interview, the executive in charge of the firm's telecoms equipment division said he planned to spend more than the $2bn (£1.5bn) already committed to a \"transformation programme\" to tackle the problems identified.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\n\"We hope to turn this challenge into an opportunity moving forward,\" said Ryan Ding, chief executive of Huawei's carrier business group.\n\n\"I believe that if we can carry out this programme as planned, Huawei will become the strongest player in the telecom industry in terms of security and reliability.\"\n\nHowever, Dr Levy - the technical director of GCHQ's National Cyber Security Centre - said he had yet to be convinced.\n\n\"The security in Huawei is like nothing else - it's engineering like it's back in the year 2000 - it's very, very shoddy.\n\n\"We've seen nothing to give us any confidence that the transformation programme is going to do what they say it's going to do.\"\n\nHe added that \"geographic restrictions - maybe there's no Huawei radio [equipment] in Westminster\" was now one option for ministers to consider.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. What could happen if the UK's 5G networks suffered a major cyber-attack?\n\nMobile UK - an industry group representing Vodafone, BT, O2 and Three - has warned that preventing Huawei from being involved in the UK's 5G rollout could cost the country's economy up to £6.8bn and delay the launch of its next-generation networks by up to two years.\n\nThose already using Huawei's equipment have opted to keep it out of what is known as the core of their networks, where tasks such as checking device IDs and deciding how to route voice and data take place.\n\nEE used to make use of Huawei's gear in its 3G and 4G core, but BT is currently stripping it out after buying the business.\n\nThe industry does, however, want to use Huawei's radio access network (Ran) equipment - including its antennae and base stations. These allow individual devices to wirelessly connect to their mobile data networks via radio signals transmitted over the airwaves.\n\nThe US has concerns about any deployment of Huawei's products.\n\nHuawei is under pressure to tighten up its software engineering and cyber-security processes\n\n\"You would never know when the Chinese government decide to force Huawei... to do things that would be in the best interests of the Communist party, to eavesdrop on the US,\" claimed Mike Conaway, a member of the House Intelligence Committee.\n\nThe Republican drafted a bill last year to ban the US government from doing business with firms that use the company's equipment. It was later adapted to become part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed into law by President Trump.\n\nThe effect has been to deter the country's major telecoms networks from working with Huawei. The Chinese company is now suing the US government claiming the move is unconstitutional.\n\nThe congressman now has his sights on the UK.\n\n\"Obviously, the terrific relationship between the UK and the United States - English-speaking countries - is important to maintain,\" Mr Conaway told Panorama.\n\nHuawei's 5G equipment is already being installed in China\n\n\"But as a part of that we will have to assess what kind of risks we would have in sharing... secrets that would go across Huawei equipment, Huawei networks.\n\n\"We can always share things old-school ways by, you know, paper back and forth. But, in terms of being able to electronically communicate, across Huawei gear, Huawei networks, would be risky at best.\"\n\nThis is a matter that crosses political divides.\n\nMark Warner, a Democrat and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also cautioned against allowing Huawei to be part of the UK's 5G networks.\n\n\"I think that the consequences could be dramatic,\" he said.\n\n\"I think there could be a real concern about the ability to fully share information because of the fear that the network that would undergird 5G in the UK, that there might be a vulnerability.\"\n\nGCHQ's Dr Levy, however, played down such fears saying that efforts to digitally scramble communications meant that even if someone was able to intercept them, they would only get \"gobbledygook\".\n\n\"Anything sensitive from a company or government or defence is independently encrypted of the network,\" he explained. \"You don't trust the network to protect you, you protect yourself.\"\n\nHe added that despite finding vulnerabilities in some of Huawei's kit \"we don't believe the things we are reporting on is the result of Chinese state malfeasance\".\n\nFor its part, Huawei says the Chinese government would never ask it to install backdoors or other vulnerabilities into its foreign clients' systems, and even if such a request were made it would refuse.\n\nRyan Ding heads up Huawei's carrier business group, which is responsible for making and selling its mobile telecoms network kit\n\nAnd Mr Ding dismissed suggestions that this commitment would fall by the wayside if the US and China were to go to war.\n\n\"We have a country here that virtually uses no Huawei equipment and doesn't even know whether our 5G equipment is square or round, and yet it has been incessantly expressing security concerns over Huawei,\" he said.\n\n\"I don't want to speculate on whether they have other purposes with this kind of talk. I would rather focus the limited time that I have on making better products.\"\n\nPanorama: Can We Trust Huawei? will be broadcast on BBC One at 20.30 BST this Monday.", "Bill Wyman met Mandy Smith when she was 13 and they married five years later\n\nA film festival has dropped ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman from its bill after protests stemming from his relationship with a teenage girl in the 1980s.\n\nThe bassist had been due to do a Q&A session at June's Sheffield Doc/Fest and appear at the European premiere of a documentary about him, The Quiet One.\n\nThe festival pulled the plug on both after receiving an online backlash.\n\nThe rocker courted controversy after he met Mandy Smith in 1984, when she was 13 and he was 47.\n\nProsecutors considered bringing charges against him two years later, but decided to not take action.\n\nThe pair married in 1989, when she was 18, but divorced two years later.\n\nRepresentatives for Wyman are yet to respond to a request for comment about Sheffield Doc/Fest's decision.\n\nWyman and Smith were interviewed together by Terry Wogan in 1989\n\nThe Quiet One, directed by Oliver Murray, documents Wyman's life as one of the original members of The Rolling Stones.\n\nResponding to criticism of the line-up announcement on the festival's Facebook page, organisers said: \"We truly appreciate you alerting us to the issue.

Mark Thomas: \"We subjected the technology to the temperature 'threat' of high speed\"\n\nUK engineers developing a novel propulsion system say their technology has passed another key milestone.\n\nThe Sabre air-breathing rocket engine is designed to drive space planes to orbit and take airliners around the world in just a few hours.\n\nTo work, it needs to manage very high temperature airflows, and the team at Reaction Engines Ltd has developed a heat-exchanger for the purpose.\n\nThis key element has just demonstrated an impressive level of performance.\n\nIt has shown the ability to handle the simulated conditions of flying at more than three times the speed of sound.\n\nIt did this by successfully quenching a 420C stream of gases in less than 1/20th of a second.\n\nArtwork: In the test set-up, the pre-cooler is fed by the exhaust gases from a military jet engine\n\nThe REL group is confident its \"pre-cooler\" technology can now go on to show the same performance in conditions that simulate flying above five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5.\n\nThat would mean rapidly dumping the energy in a 1,000-degree airflow.\n\n\"We're now able to prove many of the claims we've been making as a business, backed up by very high-quality data,\" REL's CEO Mark Thomas told BBC News.\n\n\"In this most recent experiment, we've near-instantaneously transferred 1.5 Megawatts of heat energy - the equivalent of 1,000 homes' worth of heat energy.\"\n\nThe testing was conducted at a dedicated facility at the Colorado Air and Space Port in the US.\n\nWithout the pre-cooler tech at the front, Sabre would struggle in the expected temperature regime\n\nSabre can be thought of as a cross between a jet engine and a rocket engine.\n\nAt slow speeds and at low altitude, it would behave like a jet, burning its fuel in a stream of air scooped from the atmosphere.\n\nAt high speeds and at high altitude, it would then transition to full rocket mode, combining the fuel with a small supply of oxygen the vehicle had carried aloft.\n\nThe early air-breathing approach would deliver substantial weight savings, and allow a space plane, for example, to go straight to orbit without throwing away propellant stages on the way up, as rockets do now.\n\nBut the concept brings with it an immense heat challenge.\n\nThe faster the flow of air into the engine's intake during the high-speed ascent, the higher the temperature.\n\nAnd the heat would rise still further once the flow was slowed and compressed prior to entering the combustion chambers.\n\nSuch conditions would ordinarily melt the insides of the engine.\n\nThe chilled helium flowing through the pre-cooler's piping takes away the heat\n\nSabre's pre-cooler seeks to solve this problem by efficiently, and swiftly, extracting the heat by first passing the intake gases through a tightly packed array of fine tubing. This tubing is fed with chilled helium.\n\nIn 2012, REL put the pre-cooler in front of a viper jet engine and sucked ambient air through the heat-exchanger. The gas stream immediately dropped to minus-150C.\n\nNow, the company has flipped the set-up, putting the jet engine from an old F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber in front of the pre-cooler to drive hot gases directly across the piping array.\n\nThe completed Colorado experiment replicates the thermal conditions corresponding to flight at Mach 3.3, the record-breaking speed at which the American SR-71 Blackbird spy plane used to operate. Importantly, though, the pre-cooler took out all the heat.\n\n\"This technology has wide application, not just in the immediate, obvious domain of high-speed flight but across the aerospace industry more generally, and into more commercial applications - anywhere there's a significant heat-management challenge and you're looking for ultra-lightweight, miniaturised, high-performance solutions,\" Mr Thomas said.\n\nThe Colorado tests continue. Meanwhile, back in England, REL is progressing towards a demonstration of the core part of the engine, expected to get under way next year.\n\nThis core combustion section recently passed its preliminary design review under the eye of propulsion experts at the European Space Agency. Esa has been brought in by the UK government to act as a technical auditor on the project.\n\nThe Oxfordshire company is developing Sabre with the support of BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and Boeing. All are keen to see the many years of refinement on the engine concept finally come to fruition.\n\nArtwork: There are many applications for this technology, but a reusable space plane would be one\n\nJonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos", "Actress Nadja Regin, who appeared in two James Bond movies, has died at the age of 87.\n\nThe news was announced on the official 007 Twitter account, which said: \"Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time.\"\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

The former Scotland manager appeared to compare potential criticism of Johnson with racial abuse. He had said: \"If he goes on to the pitch and people start calling him names, have we got to do the same as it is to the racist situation?\" In a statement, Strachan acknowledged an \"imprecise use of language\". Former England international Johnson, 31, was released from prison on 22 March after serving half of a six-year term for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan. Discussing this on The Debate on Sky Sports, Strachan had said: \"Is it all right to call him names now after doing his three years - have we got to allow that to happen?\" On Sunday, Strachan apologised for his comments in a statement. It read: \"Given the response in the last 24 hours to a point made on The Debate programme on Sky Sports from over a week ago, and having reflected on it personally, it is important for me to address the issues that have arisen. \"In no way did I intended to confuse or conflate the very serious issue of racism targeted at footballers with the potential verbal abuse towards a player who has been convicted of a sexual offence. \"Having reviewed the particular segment in light of the reaction, I fully acknowledge that the imprecise use of language in my initial response has left open a perception that should easily have been avoided. For that I sincerely apologise.\" Strachan added: \"I would like to take the opportunity to atone for that: to reaffirm my condemnation of the behaviour that led to [Johnson's] conviction, to convey my heartfelt sympathy and support to the survivor, and to apologise for any unintended distress caused.\" The 62-year-old is not an employee of Sky, and was not subject to its disciplinary protocols following the broadcast.

Other cities are watching closely.\n\nSpeaking to BBC Breakfast, Sandra Green from the Clear Air Parents Network said the scheme was a \"really big step forward\".\n\n\"Air pollution caused by traffic, caused by individual cars - is causing problems for health for the next generation... and it's about time we did something about it,\" she said.\n\nFigures from City Hall show more than 60% of all vehicles driving through the charging zone in March were already compliant with the new restrictions.\n\nNearly 27,000 non-compliant vehicles have been taken off the roads in the last two months, and there has been an 11% drop in the total number of cars entering central London.\n\nHowever, some drivers have spoken about their anger that governments had previously recommended buying diesel cars which are now being targeted by the charge.\n\nJim Parker, managing director at car recovery company Boleyn, said the charge was \"really unfair\".\n\n\"It's not just us, it is across the industry - everybody that owns a van or a truck and earns a living with it,\" he said.\n\n\"We've had a local business, where the margins are so tight, they've now had to cease trading because they can't get a retrofit kit and they can't afford new vehicles.\"\n\nGo Ultra Low, an electric vehicle campaign backed by the government, said: \"There has never been a better time for drivers to consider making the switch to electric.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Labour would consider voting to revoke Article 50 to avoid no deal - shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May has insisted she had to reach out to Labour in a bid to deliver Brexit or risk letting it \"slip through our fingers\".\n\nThe PM said there was a \"stark choice\" of either leaving the European Union with a deal or not leaving at all.\n\nAnd shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey says if no-deal became an option Labour would consider \"very, very strongly\" voting to cancel Brexit.\n\nSome Tories have criticised the PM for seeking Labour's help on her deal.\n\nCommons Leader Andrea Leadsom said the Tories were working with Labour \"through gritted teeth\", adding that no deal would be better than cancelling Brexit.\n\nMPs have rejected Mrs May's Brexit plan three times and last week's talks between the two parties were aimed at trying to find a proposal which could break the deadlock in the Commons before an emergency EU summit on Wednesday.\n\nHowever, the three days of meetings stalled without agreement on Friday.\n\nIn a video message posted on Sunday, Mrs May said she could not see MPs accepting her deal \"as things stand\".\n\nShe added that she had been looking for \"new ways\" to get a deal through Parliament, but it would require \"compromise on both sides\".\n\n\"I think people voted to leave the EU, we have a duty as a Parliament to deliver that,\" she added.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he was \"waiting to see the red lines move\" and had not \"noticed any great change in the government's position\".\n\nHe is coming under pressure from his MPs to demand a referendum on any deal he reaches with the government, with 80 signing a letter saying a public vote should be the \"bottom line\" in the negotiations.\n\nIn a statement issued on Saturday night, Mrs May said after doing \"everything in my power\" to persuade her party - and its backers in Northern Ireland's DUP - to approve the deal she agreed with the EU last year, she \"had to take a new approach\".\n\n\"We have no choice but to reach out across the House of Commons,\" the PM said, insisting the two main parties agreed on the need to protect jobs and end free movement.\n\n\"The referendum was not fought along party lines and people I speak to on the doorstep tell me they expect their politicians to work together when the national interest demands it.\"\n\nMrs May has been criticised by some Conservatives for reaching out to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn\n\nGetting a majority of MPs to back a Brexit deal was the only way for the UK to leave the EU, Mrs May said.\n\n\"The longer this takes, the greater the risk of the UK never leaving at all.\"\n\nMs Long-Bailey, who was involved in Labour's meetings with the government, told BBC's Andrew Marr Show they were \"very good-natured\" and there had been \"subsequent exchanges\".\n\nShe said Labour was yet to see the compromise proposals needed to agree a deal but she was \"hopeful that will change in the coming days and we are willing to continue the talks\".\n\nHowever, she added Labour would \"keep all options in play to keep no deal off the table\", including supporting a vote to revoke Article 50 - the legal mechanism through which Brexit is taking place.\n\nTory Brexiteers have reacted angrily to the prospect of Mrs May accepting Labour's demands, particularly for a customs union with the EU which would allow tariff-free trade in goods with the bloc but limit the UK from striking its own deals.\n\nMs Long-Bailey indicated Labour might be willing to be flexible over its support for a customs union but said the government proposals on the issue have \"not been compliant with the definition of a customs union\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Andrea Leadsom: \"It is appalling to consider another referendum\"\n\nInterviewed on the Andrew Marr Show, Ms Leadsom reiterated her comments in the Sunday Telegraph that holding another referendum on the UK's departure would be the \"ultimate betrayal\".\n\nShe said that taking part in the European elections in the event of a Brexit delay would be \"utterly unacceptable\".\n\nMs Leadsom said: \"Specifically provided we are leaving the European Union then it is important that we compromise, that's what this is about and it is through gritted teeth. But nevertheless the most important thing is to actually leave the EU,\" she said.\n\nThe Commons leader also told the BBC's Brexitcast there is the potential for bringing Mrs May's deal back before MPs this week.\n\nThe UK is due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by the House of Commons.\n\nThis week Mrs May is to ask Brussels for an extension to 30 June, with the possibility of an earlier departure if a deal is agreed.\n\nLabour says it has had no indication the government will agree to its demand for changes to the political declaration - the section of Mrs May's Brexit deal which outlines the basis for future UK-EU relations.\n\nThe document declares mutual ambitions in areas such as trade, regulations, security and fishing rights - but does not legally commit either party.\n\nFormer Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab says the talks could help Mr Corbyn into No 10\n\nLeaving the EU's customs union was a Conservative manifesto commitment, and former party whip Michael Fabricant predicted \"open revolt\" among Tories and Leave voters if MPs agreed to it.\n\nHowever, Downing Street has described the prospect as \"speculation\".\n\nMeanwhile, the Sunday Telegraph reported some activists were refusing to campaign for the party, while donations had \"dried up\".\n\nAnd former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab writes in the Mail on Sunday that Mrs May's approach \"threatens to damage the Conservatives for years\".\n\n\"There is now a danger that Brexit could be lost and that the government could fall - handing the keys to Downing Street to Corbyn,\" he says.\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nTory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said including Mr Corbyn in the Brexit process was a \"mistake\" as \"he is not sympathetic to the government, obviously, and is a Remainer\".\n\nHe told Sky News the reason Mrs May has not been able to secure the backing of all Conservative MPs was \"her own creation\" and because she failed to \"deliver\" a deal they could support.\n\nTreasury Chief Secretary Liz Truss dismissed the idea of a long delay to Brexit, which could be ended if Parliament approved a deal.\n\nMs Truss told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics a so-called flextension \"sounds like purgatory\", adding: \"We haven't yet negotiated the free trade deal we need... So I think the British public are going to be pretty horrified if we go into more limbo than we've already had.\"\n\nIn a letter to Mr Corbyn, some Labour MPs have pointed out that - because the political declaration is not legally binding, and with Mrs May having promised to stand down - a future Tory PM could simply \"rip up\" any of her commitments.\n\nFour shadow ministers were among 80 signatories of the Love Socialism Hate Brexit campaign letter pressing for a further public vote.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Brexit: 'It's like the playground, really'\n\nAny compromise deal agreed by Parliament will have \"no legitimacy if it is not confirmed by the public\", it argues.\n\nHowever, Labour is split on the subject, with a letter signed by 25 Labour MPs on Thursday arguing the opposite.\n\nThey warned it would \"divide the country further and add uncertainty for business\" and could be \"exploited by the far-right, damage the trust of many core Labour voters and reduce our chances of winning a general election\".", "For most workers, telling them they can't roll into the office stinking of alcohol or high on drugs is unnecessary - because it's taken as read.\n\nThis week, though, the giant Lloyd's of London insurance market, in the City of London, is setting out a new code of conduct: it felt it needed to remind people.\n\nThe 331-year-old institution, where brokers and insurers meet to do business, is regarded as the last bastion of the financial district's boozy culture.\n\nBut after recent revelations of sexual harassment and general boorish behaviour, Lloyd's has decided to act.\n\nTwo years ago the institution banned its staff from drinking between 9am and 5pm. But this only covered about 800 direct employees.\n\nLloyd's is made up of thousands more people and independent operators. The organisation says there are about 40,000 pass holders who have access to the building.\n\nNow, anyone deemed under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be barred from the building. Security guards will have the right to confiscate passes of anyone breaching the new rule.\n\nThe on-site bar will become a coffee shop. A hotline is being set up to expose bad behaviour. Anyone found responsible for sexual harassment risks being banned for life.\n\nBut not everyone sees this as the answer.\n\n\"The problem has been exaggerated and the response is unnecessary,\" says a smoker loitering not too far from Lloyd's landmark building.\n\nTom wouldn't give his surname, and wouldn't even confirm that he worked at Lloyd's. But he certainly knew about the recent reports of sexual misconduct and the new promise to act.\n\n\"You're telling people they can't have a couple of pints at lunchtime,\" he says. \"Lloyd's is a people business. We don't operate dangerous machinery.\"\n\nAnd yet, that there was something rotten going on inside Lloyd's isn't in doubt. Last month, the Bloomberg news agency revealed a catalogue of sexual and verbal misconduct claims, with many fuelled by alcohol abuse.\n\nA picture was painted of an archaic institution whose culture was out-of-date, even by the standards of its neighbours in the financial district.\n\nLloyd's boss John Neal, who took over six months ago, called the reports \"distressing\", adding: \"No one should be subjected to this sort of behaviour, and if it does happen, everyone has the right to be heard and for those responsible to be held to account.\"\n\nThe organisation knows that banning booze won't stop bad behaviour. It is, though, seen as an important signal in what Lloyd's says is a \"bigger action plan\" to improve the culture over time.\n\nAlthough some people might argue Lloyd's is over-reacting, in the City of London there are plenty of workers who agree that the organisation needs to modernise.\n\nIn a square near the firm's headquarters, a group of young men are playing table tennis. Well-dressed, in regulation dark suits, they say they work in banking, not insurance. They point to their takeaway sandwiches as evidence.\n\n\"Lloyd's has a bit of a reputation for long lunches,\" says one. \"A lot of that disappeared years ago in other parts of the City.\"\n\nMany objections seem to focus on a resentment at being told what to do.\n\nIn a nearby pub, three men are drinking - one a large glass of wine and the other two have pints, but they're of orange juice and Coca-Cola.\n\n\"We're having a [computer] screen break - but we are discussing business. We're adults. If we drink responsibly, why should our employer lay down the law on what we do?\"\n\nThere's a divide between generations too they point out: younger professionals avoid alcohol so they can go to the gym after work, or simply because they lead healthier lifestyles.\n\nAt another local pub the assistant manager agrees habits have changed in the 15 years she's worked in the trade. \"I see far more men drinking soft drinks, not just at lunchtimes but after work,\" she says.\n\nThere is still a hardcore, though, who drink. Her pub - she didn't want it identified - actually opens at 7am.\n\n\"There will be people - regulars - waiting outside at opening time to come in for a drink,\" she says.\n\nHaving a drink after work, perhaps? No, she says. There's a man who has a couple of pints of lager, and a woman who downs a couple of vodkas (not so easy to smell on her breath, apparently) before work. \"It's more common than you might think.\"\n\nThese people may be functioning alcoholics, whose behaviour may not be affected by a booze ban at work. But it's not just drink, she says.\n\n\"I've seen more responsible drinking over the years, but a rise in drugs. If you don't take cocaine, people these days seem to think there's something wrong with you.\"\n\nWhat does she think of the Lloyd's security guards who will be on the frontline of trying to impose a no drink or drugs policy?\n\nIt could be a challenge. \"It's not always easy to spot, and it's not always easy to deal with when you do spot it.\"", "Steven Bishop changed his plea as his trial had been due to start\n\nSteven Bishop, 41, admitted buying fireworks and possessing instructions on how to make an explosive.\n\nBishop, of Thornton Heath, was believed to have been targeting Morden Mosque when his home was raided by police on 29 October last year.\n\nHe will be sentenced on Wednesday after changing his plea on the opening day of his trial at Kingston Crown Court.\n\nHe had originally been charged with preparing an act of terrorism, but prosecutors accepted a plea to a charge of possession of an explosive substance with intent to endanger life or property on Monday.\n\nBishop previously pleaded guilty to possession of information likely to be useful to a person preparing an act of terrorism, specifically a handwritten note on how to make explosives.\n\nWhen he was arrested he told the police he wanted revenge for the death of eight-year-old Saffie Roussos who died in the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.\n\nThe court heard Bishop has a history of mental health problems and a number of psychiatric reports had been prepared ahead of his trial.\n\nHe was remanded in custody until Wednesday,\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The chief executive of the company which owns British Gas received a 44% rise in his pay last year to £2.4m.\n\nIt means Iain Conn, who runs Centrica, is paid 72 times that of an employee in the lower quartile of its salary range -

This would aim to ease Labour concerns that any promises could be unpicked by the next Conservative leader.\n\nBut BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said there was \"deep concern\" on the Labour side that any legal promise could be undone by further legislation.\n\nHowever, the prime minister was warned by members of the 1922 committee of Conservative backbenchers that agreeing a customs union with the EU in Brexit talks would be \"unacceptable\".\n\nThe MPs met Mrs May in Downing Street and it is understood they were more open to the idea of a customs arrangement, which would allow the UK to do its own trade deals.\n\nTalks between Labour and the government began last week, with Mrs May saying only a cross-party pact would see MPs agree a deal in Parliament.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nIf no compromise can be reached between the parties, Mrs May has committed to putting a series of Brexit options to the Commons and being bound by the result.\n\nMr Corbyn said: \"Talks have to mean a movement and so far there's been no change in those red lines.\"\n\nThe Labour leader said there were \"many concerns\" his party had over the political declaration - a plan for the future relationship with the EU - which it planned to put to the government in their discussions.\n\nMeanwhile, the government has taken steps to ensure the UK can take part in European Parliament elections on 23 May.\n\nA Day of Poll Order has been laid in Parliament, which is required by law for the vote to take place.\n\nThe Cabinet Office said it was taking responsible steps, but the move did not make participation in the elections inevitable.\n\nOn Monday, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier met Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin and told reporters he hoped the UK's cross-party talks would \"produce a positive outcome\".\n\nBut he said that, if the UK left the EU without a deal, \"we will not discuss anything with the UK until there is an agreement for Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well as for citizens' rights and for the financial settlement\".\n\nThe EU would \"stand fully behind Ireland\" regardless of what happens with Brexit, he added.\n\nMr Varadkar said he was open to extending the Brexit deadline to allow discussions to \"continue their course\".\n\nAre you putting any important plans or decisions on hold due to Brexit negotiations?

Her closest ally, former Chief of Staff John Kelly, exited the White House in December. Now, along the annual spring thaw, the ice beneath her has finally cracked.\n\nOr perhaps the homeland security secretary simply reached her limit. The real story will have to wait for the inevitable leaks and insider accounts that spread every time this president makes a staffing change.\n\nWhat seems clear, however, is that there are conflicts taking place behind the scenes in the White House - conflicts accompanying the president's increasingly belligerent rhetoric on immigration.\n\nJust two days ago, Mr Trump rescinded his nomination of Ronald Vitiello to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement because, he said, he wanted to go in a \"tougher direction\".\n\nNow his homeland security secretary - whom he had in the past viewed as not aggressive enough - is out.\n\nMs Nielsen's name will forever be associated with the Trump administration's family separation border policy that led to massive bipartisan outcry last year. The president eventually backed down from that fight, but these latest moves suggest a more confrontational approach to border security is all but assured.\n\nMembers of the Democratic party have already commented on her departure.\n\nBennie Thompson, Mississippi congressman and Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security, said Ms Nielsen's tenure was \"a disaster from the start\", while Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey calling the move \"long overdue\".\n\nHowever, he said the fight is \"far from over to ensure Trump's assault on our immigrant community comes to an end\".\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

While it is true we are employing more people, it seems that they are going into unproductive jobs.\n\nThis is called the car wash problem: 20 years ago, car washes were already fully automated, but now they consist of five men and a bucket - less productive, not more.\n\nYou would expect the top firms in the UK - the elite, highly competitive engineering, pharmaceutical and high-tech industries - to be storming ahead with new technologies and digital working, but that doesn't seem to show up in the figures either. Also, their expertise is not trickling down into smaller businesses like it used to.\n\nMultiple factors are at work, but one thing is clear: this has all happened since the credit crunch. That huge economic shock seems to have created a permanent long-term change to how our economy develops, and not in a good way.\n\nHoward Archer, chief economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said: \"The UK's 'productivity puzzle' is a source of much debate and analysis.\n\n\"Part of the UK's recent poor labour productivity performance has undoubtedly been that low wage growth has increased the attractiveness of employment for companies. This helped employment to hold up well during the 2008-09 downturn and to pick up as growth returned.\"\n\nHe added: \"It is also probable that many companies took on labour rather than committing to costly investment, given the highly uncertain economic and political outlook. The low cost of labour relative to capital has certainly supported employment over investment.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. 'My house has taken over my life'\n\nWhen Justin Revell bought his new-build house near Norwich, he thought it was the dream home.\n\n\"I think currently it's actually taken over my life,\" he says.\n\nHe shows us around, pointing out what he calls the \"endless list\" of problems he's encountered since October 2016 when he moved in.\n\n\"You find one problem and that escalates into another problem - it's like opening a can of worms.\"\n\nJustin Revell and Lyn Whiteman helped each other manage their house trouble\n\nFrom substandard ceilings to badly-fitted fire-doors, missing insulation and condensation issues. Both his kitchen and a bathroom have had to be ripped out and replaced. He and his wife have moved out twice while repairs were done.\n\nIt has been dealing with builder Taylor Wimpey, as well as the issues themselves, that have taken its toll.\n\n\"They make it deliberately difficult to contact them, they don't respond to you, they'll tell you something is fixed when it isn't.\" Mr Revell says. \"A lot of people don't have the time or the knowledge to take the builders on.\"\n\nHe's joined forces with his neighbour Lyn Whiteman to help manage the problem.\n\n\"It's not a coincidence that two houses two doors down from each other with identical problems,\" she says. \"This is not isolated to this particular property or this estate - it's got to be national.\"\n\nTaylor Wimpey says it apologises for the issues experienced by Mr Revell and Ms Whiteman and for the inconvenience caused.\n\nBut could the two be right about a broader problem?\n\nThe Homeowners Alliance says they have seen an increase in the number of people approaching them for help over the last two years because of serious defects with their new-build homes.\n\nJustin Revell and his wife moved into their \"dream\" home in Peter Pulling Drive in September 2016\n\nResearch from the organisation, which represents the interests of homeowners to the house building industry, suggest that only two-thirds of new homeowners are happy with the way their builder resolved any defects with their home.\n\nAnd even the developers themselves acknowledge the problem.\n\nThe Home Builders Federation own satisfaction surveys show a rise in the number of customers reporting snags - from 93% in 2015 to 99% in 2018.\n\nThat data comes just weeks after the government said they were considering removing Persimmon from the Help To Buy scheme after increasing concerns over the quality of its building work.\n\nAnd there is rising alarm from consumers and experts about the severity of these so-called snags.\n\nTimothy Waitt has become a specialist on construction cases at Anthony Gold solicitors. \"I'm not talking about dodgy kitchen units - I'm talking about major structural failings that affect health and safety.\"\n\nMr Waitt is getting enquiries on a near-daily basis on these kinds problems and is fearful a skills shortage in construction means that it is just the tip of the iceberg.\n\n\"I do not think we're talking about deliberate decisions to miss out on key expensive structural elements,\" he explains.\n\n\"This is about carelessness. I think what is arising is that people are making mistakes, potentially because they do not realise the significance of what they are doing, due to a lack of training, a lack of experience and a lack of supervision.\"\n\nTaylor Wimpey, Britain's third largest homebuilder, reported profits up 19% to £810m for 2018, after selling 15,275 homes\n\nLike Mr Waitt, the BBC has spoken to a broad spectrum of homeowners across the country and across developers, whose \"snags\" go far beyond the kind of teething problems often anticipated with new builds.\n\nFrom Debbie, dealing with rising damp and poor drainage in East Sussex, to Saima in Wokingham where damp and mould drove her family out of their home or Robert in north London who has endured eight years of fighting to fix floors dipping in his home.\n\nWhat unites them all is the severe emotional strain it's placed on them.\n\nAs a result, The Home Owners Alliance is campaigning to boost the rights or protection for buyers.\n\n\"There is no incentive for a builder to build right and move on,\" explains chief executive Paula Higgins. \"So that's why we're calling for a snagging retention so people can hold back some money and the builders will get things done properly.\"\n\nIssues with snags occur across developers and building businesses.\n\nIn this case, Mr Revell and Ms Whiteman's homes were built by Taylor Wimpey.\n\n\"I think currently it's actually taken over my life,\" Mr Revell says\n\nTaylor Wimpey says: \"We sincerely apologise to Mr Revell and Ms Whiteman for the issues experienced with their homes and for the inconvenience caused as we undertook remedial action.\n\n\"We are committed to delivering homes of the highest quality and service and we take our responsibilities to our customers extremely seriously.\n\n\"We have taken actions to put things right for these customers and all necessary works for both residents have now been completed as agreed. These works are in line with, and in some parts exceed, building regulations.\"\n\n\"All our homes are subject to strict quality checks throughout construction, examined by the NHBC at key stages and are not handed over until a full quality inspection has taken place.\"\n\nAs well as a developer's guarantee for the first two years, warranties are provided on new build homes.\n\nThe National House-Building Council protects 80% of them from years three to ten in a property, and they say the quality of new homes continues to improve.\n\n\"While we cannot be on site at all times, these visual, spot-check inspections are designed to target critical elements of the build process and allow us to highlight potential defects to the builder,\" says the NHBC.\n\n\"As most problems that arise in the first two years will be dealt with by the builder without reference to NHBC, we do not collect data on snagging; however, one barometer would be complaints received by NHBC, and these have not increased.\n\n\"In addition, new warranty claims continue to fall, with this trend being a clear sign that the quality of new homes covered by NHBC continues to improve.\"\n\nA Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government spokesperson says the government wants to see more good quality homes: \"We know more needs to be done to protect consumers, and our New Homes Ombudsman will protect the rights of homebuyers and hold developers to account.\"", "Mick Jagger was forced to postpone a tour of the US and Canada because of ill health\n\nThe Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger has said he is \"on the mend\" and \"feeling much better\" after receiving hospital treatment.\n\nIn a tweet Jagger, 75, thanked hospital staff \"for doing a superb job\" as well as fans for their messages of support.\n\nThe band postponed their tour of the US and Canada after Jagger was advised by doctors that he needed medical treatment.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Only Alan Shearer and Ruud van Nistelrooy have reached the landmark in fewer matches.\n\nSalah was influential as Liverpool secured three points in injury time against Tottenham in their last outing, and their persistence in the latter stages of matches is no fluke.\n\nLiverpool have scored 20 goals in the final 15 minutes of games this season, more than any other side, and they have also won a league-leading 16 points from losing positions.\n\nIf the Reds are to deliver a first league title since 1990, their undying spirit at the death could tip the balance in their favour.\n\nSaints fall away when it matters\n\nSouthampton remain five points clear of the danger zone but they were poised to claim a surprise point against the title challengers.\n\nRalph Hasenhuttl has turned the tide since taking charge at St Mary's and the hosts produced a disciplined defensive display to limit a side that has scored 85 goals to just five shots on target.\n\nVestergaard and Maya Yoshida made 10 clearances apiece, while the latter epitomised the Southampton mentality when he leapt off the ground to block Roberto Firmino's shot with the goal at his mercy.\n\nHowever, with the game in the balance and Liverpool struggling to carve out many clear-cut opportunities, the home defence backed off and gave Salah the room he needed to strike the decisive blow.\n\nOn-loan Saints striker Danny Ings, ineligible against his parent club, was replaced in the Southampton line-up by Irishman Long, who was making his first league start since February.\n\nLong handed his side the perfect start when he also struck his 50th Premier League goal with a cool finish as the visitors started slowly.\n\nOnly five teams have scored fewer goals than Southampton this season, but with Ings set to return and Long back among the goals, they are well placed to pick up the results needed to stay in the top flight.\n\n'The season is intense for everyone' - what they said\n\nLiverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to BBC Sport: \"I knew it would be difficult. Southampton have been well-organised. We scored two wonderful goals.\n\n\"The season is intense for everyone. You have an opportunity to make really good changes - Milner and Henderson helped. They were aggressive in a really important way. You could see them pushing the boys.\n\n\"Southampton had to suffer in the second half because of the first-half tempo. Difficult away game, 3-1 is a perfect result.\n\n\"What a goal [from Salah]. He couldn't pass because Firmino couldn't get into the right position. The defender could not concentrate on Mo. Wow, what a goal. A good moment. Naby Keita's first goal for the club in a crucial moment.\"\n\nSouthampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Sport: \"We saw a very interesting game today. Our team scored very early so it was a long way to the end to get a point or three.\n\n\"We showed it is not so easy if we have a plan and surprise them and can cause problems against the big teams. They know this, believe in this and the guys showed up.\n\n\"There was a crucial chance for Shane Long for 2-0 and then it would be very interesting, they were struggling at that point. Then we would have had a chance for a point.\n\n\"Their first goal was offside and the second we did not react well. We cannot make such a mistake from this position. They have a counter from our shot and it was too easy. We showed in the second half we are brave and we wanted to win the game.\n\n\"We have to pay attention and not fear the moment. The team believes, that is important, and know now that teams are coming where we must take the points.\"\n\nSaints throw away another lead - the stats\n• None Southampton have only managed to win one of their six Premier League games played on a Friday, suffering defeat in three of their last four (P6 W1 D2 L3).\n• None Liverpool have beaten Southampton in four successive league games for the first time in the club's history.\n• None Southampton have now lost 23 points from leading positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other side in 2018-19.\n• None Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games when conceding the opening goal (L1), including tasting victory on each of the last three instances.\n• None Liverpool became the seventh club in English top-flight history to concede 5,000 goals after Everton, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland and Arsenal.\n• None Liverpool's Jordan Henderson is the first Premier League substitute to score a goal, assist a goal and receive a yellow card since Graziano Pelle did so against Crystal Palace in May 2016.\n• None Naby Keita's goal for Liverpool was his first Premier League goal of the season from his 23rd shot in the competition.

It was Thursday - payday for many and the day for late-night shopping in the city. Young couples gathered for drinks and others, many at the start of their adult lives, jostled for their favourite spots at the bar.\n\nBut in the space of five minutes, their lives were changed forever.\n\nTwo bombs ripped through the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs, killing 21 people and injuring 220.\n\nMore than 44 years later, inquests into the deaths have concluded the victims were unlawfully killed.\n\nSome of the survivors of the bombings have shared their stories.\n\nMaureen Mitchell would meet her then fiancé at the Mulberry Bush pub \"most nights of the week\"\n\nAbout 50 people were enjoying a drink in the Mulberry Bush.\n\nThe popular pub, located on the ground floor of the city's iconic Rotunda building, was a well-known meeting place and despite not being a weekend night, it was still busy - in 1974 Thursday was payday for many, and also the day of late-night shopping.\n\nFor Maureen Mitchell, then 21, the pub was the perfect place to meet her then fiancé Ian Lord, as they lived on different sides of Birmingham.\n\nIt was a place they would meet \"most nights of the week\" and that night they gathered at a spot underneath the stairs while Maureen, who worked in an advertising agency, told Ian about her work Christmas party \"that he wasn't allowed to come to\", she remembers.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Survivors who were at the pubs bombed in Birmingham recall that night\n\nAt the nearby Tavern in the Town it was a similar picture. By 20:00 the basement pub, close to the Odeon cinema on New Street, was about two thirds full, with around 200 customers inside.\n\nAmong them were Carol Bates and Kevin Burgess. The teenagers, aged 18 and 17 respectively, had known each other for just three weeks and were on one of their first dates.\n\nAn excited Kevin had skipped college early to see her.\n\nIn 1974, the West Midlands was in the grip of an IRA bombing campaign. There had been 53 separate explosive and incendiary devices used between 1973 and 21 November.\n\nBut the young couple had no concerns about being in the city centre. Indeed, Carol's father, who was a policeman, had advised her to be careful, but \"there was no warnings or any feelings of anything amiss - it was a social night out\", she said.\n\nCarol and Kevin Burgess were aged 18 and 17 and on one of their first dates that night\n\nAfter meeting outside the Odeon, they headed down to the Tavern, grabbed a drink from the bar and stood near a pillar chatting about Kevin's college work.\n\nAlso inside was Les Robinson, then 22, who was a regular at the Tavern. It was \"simply the best pub in Birmingham\", he said.\n\nHe remembers it being busy that night, and by 20:10, when he arrived, there were already many workers from the city centre shops - the \"Rackhams crew\", as he called them, after the city's department store.\n\nOne of those workers was Carol Pearce, then Eaglesfield, who had finished her shift at the clothing shop Etams across the road and had met her friend Heather Turner for a drink.\n\nThe pub was packed, remembers Carol, who then aged 18 was dressed in the fashions of the day - brown trousers with tights, a cream floral blouse and a long purple and cream tweed coat that reached almost down to her ankles.\n\nAs they enjoyed their drinks that Thursday night, customers in both pubs were completely oblivious to the events that would unfold.\n\nThe second blast took place at the Tavern in the Town\n\nWhat they were not aware of was that at 20:11, a man called the Birmingham Post and Mail newspaper from a telephone box.\n\nDuring the call, taken by a telephonist, he spoke of a bomb in the Rotunda building and one in the tax office in New Street, which was then located in King Edward House, part of a seven-storey building above the Tavern in the Town.\n\nThe warning was accompanied with the code \"Double X\", the wording given with telephoned bomb warnings to distinguish them from hoaxes.\n\nThe police were informed and officers were sent to carry out a search of the Rotunda.\n\nBut just minutes later, some time between 20:15 and 20:20, two bombs went off.\n\nVictims and survivors were hit by shrapnel during the explosions\n\n\"I don't remember hearing anything,\" says Maureen Mitchell, who was in the Mulberry Bush as the first bomb exploded.\n\n\"It was like the lights just went out and next thing I just felt as if I was - well I was - floating through the air. I don't remember hitting the ground again, then I remember Ian calling to me and I was just going 'my leg, my leg, I can't move my leg'.\n\n\"I remember Ian calling to me. Ian was trying to get me up. There was a lot of rubble on my legs and he was trying to get that off.\"\n\nThe blast in the Mulberry Bush was so violent that the 25lb (11kg) device left a metre-wide crater and blew out the staircase and bar.\n\nThe interior of the pub was destroyed, the ceiling collapsed and broken glass, bottles, tables and chairs littered the scene.\n\nFire crews search through debris at the scene of one of the bombings\n\nOther survivors told of seeing a \"bright flash\" and hearing a \"very loud bang\", while a passenger on a bus driving past the Mulberry Bush at the time of the explosion described the front of the building disintegrating and flying towards the vehicle.\n\nMaureen was carried away by a security guard from the Rotunda who laid her down outside the wall by New Street station, before she was put in one of the first ambulances that arrived.\n\nOthers have spoken of crawling over bodies to get out of the pub.\n\n\"I didn't think I would make it because my whole stomach was in a mess,\" Maureen said. \"Once we got to the hospital they just took me straight to theatre and the next few days after that are quite hazy because I was in intensive care for five days.\"\n\nShrapnel had gone through Maureen's hip and lodged in her bowel, part of which was removed. Her condition was so serious she was given the last rites.\n\nMaureen Mitchell remembers \"floating through the air\" after the bombing\n\nSome 150 yards away, the Tavern in the Town shook.\n\nIt was only looking back that Carol Pearce realised this was the impact of the first blast at the Mulberry Bush.\n\n\"We were sitting talking and the whole place shook. We didn't hear a bang, but it shook,\" said the mother of three.\n\nUnnerved by the sensation, Carol and her friend Heather decided to leave. Heather had already pointed out a man she thought looked suspicious, whom Carol says put down a holdall in the pub before disappearing.\n\nBut just as they were about to go, everything went black.\n\nSurvivors say there was a flash, smoke and then silence, before people started to scream and moan.\n\n\"I don't remember the bang, I just remember the shaking of the pub and everywhere went quiet,\" said Carol, who was blown by the force of the blast into the neighbouring HMV shop.\n\n\"I woke up amongst debris and dead people.\"\n\nSurvivors spoke of climbing over people to make their way out of the Tavern\n\n\"It was inside you,\" he said. \"I remember it was as though a big hand picked me up and I did a somersault and it threw me into the wall, and when I landed it had thrown me on the bottom of the stairs.\"\n\nThe 30lb (13.5kg) device at the Tavern had been packed with large amounts of explosives, similar to the type used in quarries.\n\nIt blasted a 3ft by 3ft crater through the pub's 10-inch thick concrete flooring, brought down the ceiling and flung debris up the stairs and out on to the street.\n\nCarol and Heather managed to struggle out, seeing a \"sobbing policeman\" who helped them flee, and they were taken to the General Hospital.\n\nCarol had serious burns to her legs - the tights she had been wearing under her trousers to keep herself warm in the November weather had burnt to her skin - shrapnel had torn a hole in her back, she had burns to her face, hair and hands and both of her eardrums were perforated, leading to lasting hearing problems.\n\nHer friend Heather needed a blood transfusion and had burns to her face. The pair spent a short time in hospital together, but after that night lost touch and would never see each other again.\n\nCarol Pearce was pictured in the Birmingham Mail in hospital during a visit by the Duke of Edinburgh following the bombings\n\nThe blast knocked Kevin Burgess off his feet. \"I called out for Carol, she answered, we got together, got ourselves up,\" he said. \"It was darkness, that's what made it surreal. The screams, people's voices of agony - you could see very little because it was all black and you were stumbling around.\"\n\n\"We realised that the wall and pillar behind us had come straight down behind us and the back wall had been blown out, which in effect turned out to be the only way out as the stairs had blown up,\" remembers Carol Burgess.\n\nThe pair started to help others out and were forced to climb over people, \"listening to the screams and making our way out of the pub\", Kevin said.\n\nThey had suffered mostly superficial injuries - cuts, bruises and hearing loss - for which they were treated at the General Hospital.\n\nForty-four years on, Carol and Kevin Burgess both remain wary of travelling into the city centre\n\nThe blast had blown \"glass, wood and everything else\" into Les Robinson's body.\n\nHis trousers were ripped off and the nylon jumper he was wearing had melted to his shoulder.\n\n\"I couldn't see a thing, obviously all the lights had blown,\" said Les, who worked as a Co-op Dairy plumber.\n\n\"We couldn't hear anything because of burst eardrums, the only thing that really worked was your smell.\n\n\"Although I didn't know it at the time, but it was the people who had been burned. My whole leg had been burned, all my hair had burned off, I could smell me, I could smell everyone and then I thought: 'I've got to get out of here'.\"\n\nDespite his injuries, Les managed to make his way out of the pub and struggled the mile-and-a-half journey home, clinging to parking meters and cars to support him along the way.\n\nLes Robinson described the Tavern as \"simply the best pub in Birmingham\"\n\nOutside the Tavern there was \"uproar\". People staggered or were carried to the Magnum Hotel opposite, some screaming, some just waiting to be taken to hospital.\n\nBut the realisation of what had happened was yet to hit them.\n\n\"I don't think anyone in the whole pub knew what it was,\" said Les. \"Last thing on my mind was a bomb, a terrorist bomb.\"\n\nCarol Burgess added: \"We didn't quite believe it to start with. You know these things go on but you don't believe it could happen to you.\"\n\nThe victims of the 1974 bombings were aged between 16 and 51\n\nA total of 21 people were killed by the two bombs. Nineteen died on the night - eight in the Mulberry Bush and nine in the Tavern in the Town. Two more died later from their injuries.\n\nThe seven women and 14 men killed were aged between 16 and 51. Thirteen of the victims were under 30, including five in their teens.\n\nSome 44 years after the pub bombings, no-one has been convicted in connection with the atrocity.\n\nSix men were wrongly jailed but finally released in 1991. During the near 17 years they spent behind bars, the case of the Birmingham Six became infamous as one of the worst miscarriages of justice seen in Britain.\n\nThe Irish Republican Army (IRA) carried out the bombings - a third device was planted near the Barclays Bank on Hagley Road but failed to detonate properly.\n\nFor the survivors, life has gone on, but the events of that night have never been forgotten.\n\nThe Mulberry Bush pub underneath the Rotunda in 1974, and the site as it looks in 2019\n\nDespite her injuries, Maureen slowly recovered and she and Ian married seven months later, although the couple would go on to divorce.\n\n\"You try not to let it make any difference to your life,\" she said. \"Our wedding was already planned so we carried on and got married seven months later and I suppose we just tried to get on with it, really,\n\n\"I've always tried not to be bitter because I always felt that being bitter wasn't helping me or anyone else.\"\n\nThe bombings made Maureen \"appreciate life more\" and she became involved with peace and reconciliation work.\n\nShe suffered from survivor guilt, but said meeting others bereaved and affected by the Troubles had helped her cope.\n\nAnd while she bears the scars from her injuries \"physically they don't affect me in any way\", she said.\n\nLes Robinson sustained significant shrapnel injuries in the bombing of the Tavern in the Town\n\nFor Les, now 67, the impact of that night means he cannot be anywhere near an unattended parcel.\n\n\"Even to this day it gives me the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. I will ask if I'm in a place with an unattended bag, I will ask whose is that bag and if I can't find out I'm out of there.\"\n\nBut he says the events enabled him to \"meet and marry the woman that I did\".\n\n\"Her name is Roz,\" he said. \"Roz was in there as well that night. We'd fell out so weren't really together - like all courting couples you have your moments - but it got us back together.\n\n\"From there we married, from there we had the two best daughters you want and a further three grandchildren. It made my life. The Tavern didn't take away anything from me, but it gave me everything.\"\n\nA buffet restaurant now occupies the site of the former Tavern in the Town\n\nCarol and Kevin Burgess, who had been on one of their early dates, went on to marry. The bombings \"brought us closer together\", says Kevin.\n\nBut 44 years on, both say they remain wary of travelling into the city centre.\n\nOver the years Kevin suffered flashbacks and found it difficult to accept that he escaped with relatively minor injuries.\n\n\"I was very, very lucky,\" he said. \"People lost arms, legs - died. Why wasn't it me? That's affected me over a number of years.\"\n\nHe added: \"The one thing that will always stick with me for the rest of my life is the smell of flesh, hair. That will never ever go from me.\"\n\nCarol Pearce says she is grateful for the life she has lived\n\nCarol Pearce became a Christian \"that night\", she says. She later befriended a girl in her street and was a bridesmaid at her wedding. The best man was Roy Pearce - whom Carol, now 62, went on to marry. The couple have been married for 42 years.\n\n\"For me, everything changed because if I hadn't have been in the bombing I don't know what would have happened, but I certainly wouldn't have met Roy, but I did, so things changed dramatically,\" she said.\n\nThe couple took over running a youth club and then she ran an arts and crafts charity and did play scheme work.\n\nWhile she did not go back to her job at Etams, and trips into the city centre became infrequent, in 2004 she would return to work in the centre of Birmingham as a receptionist at the National Trust's Back to Backs attraction, a \"big step\" that eventually gave her the confidence to travel into the city on her own.\n\n\"I've thoroughly enjoyed my life,\" she added. \"I'm grateful for the life I've got.\"\n\nThe names of the 21 victims are on a memorial in Birmingham's Cathedral Square\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has been appointed as the government's special envoy on media freedom, the Foreign Office has announced.\n\nMs Clooney and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt will work to \"counter draconian laws that hinder journalists from going about their work\", the FCO said.\n\nMr Hunt said violence against reporters had reached \"alarming levels globally\".\n\nMs Clooney, who will not receive a fee for her work, said she was \"honoured\" to take on the role.\n\n\"Through my legal work defending journalists I have seen first-hand the ways in which reporters are being targeted and imprisoned in an effort to silence them and prevent a free media,\" added Ms Clooney, who last year joined the legal team defending two Reuters journalists detained in Myanmar.\n\nBritish-Lebanese barrister Ms Clooney is known for taking on high-profile human rights cases.\n\nIn 2015, she was part of the legal team working towards the release of two Al Jazeera journalists jailed in Egypt.\n\nMore recently, she represented Nadia Murad - a Nobel Peace Prize winner who was captured and tortured by so-called Islamic State.\n\nMr Hunt said Ms Clooney's experience made her \"ideally placed\" to ensure the UK's efforts to protect global press freedom had \"real impact for journalists\".\n\nHe added: \"She will use her expertise to chair a panel comprising the world's best legal minds to develop and promote legal mechanisms to prevent and reverse media abuses.\"\n\nIn 2018, 99 reporters were killed, 348 were detained and 60 were taken hostage worldwide, the FCO said.", "Last updated on .From the section Horse Racing\n\nCoverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website.\n\nJockey Barry Geraghty has been ruled out of the Grand National after suffering a broken leg in a heavy fall at Aintree on Friday.\n\nGeraghty, 39, had been due to ride top weight Anibale Fly on Saturday.

This is the same date as the prime minister's original request last month, and just so happens to be two days before the new European Parliament meets for the first time.\n\nBut such a relatively short extension may not be on offer - the talk in other EU capitals has been of a longer extension until the end of this year at the earliest. Mr Tusk is likely to suggest a one-year extension.\n\nThe EU may well be more receptive, though, to the idea of a get-out clause: it would mean that if a deal were to be approved by MPs and ratified earlier, the UK could leave the EU straightaway.\n\nThat would suit both sides, and it's another idea that Donald Tusk has been promoting behind the scenes. The PM still hopes a deal can be finalised before voting in the European elections begin on 23 May, but given the divisions in Westminster the timetable for that already looks really tight.\n\nIt's also worth bearing in mind, given the initial reaction to Mrs May's letter from Paris and other capitals, that granting any extension is not yet a done deal.\n\nShe is referring here to discussions between the government and Labour - and MPs more broadly - aimed at agreeing a Brexit plan which can be put to a currently deadlocked Parliament.\n\nThis section is also a reminder for rebellious Conservative backbenchers and the DUP and its leader Arlene Foster: under this prime minister you can forget about reopening the withdrawal agreement and changing the wording of the Irish backstop.\n\nThe EU has been ruling that out for months. Theresa May tried and failed to get them to change their minds (although her Tory critics say she didn't try hard enough), and now she's emphasised again that the focus for any new suggestions has to be the non-binding political declaration on what the future holds.\n\nThe votes on various options in the House of Commons are designed to do that - but there's no cast-iron guarantee that a future government wouldn't opt for a change of course.\n\nThe prime minister is making a promise to the EU that if the House of Commons backs any kind of compromise proposal, the government \"stands ready\" to abide by that decision - if Labour does the same. \"Stands ready\" isn't quite the same as \"will\" but it is pretty close.\n\nThe dilemma for the PM, of course, is that backing a customs union would cross one of her red lines: that the UK must have a fully independent trade policy after Brexit.\n\nAnd membership of the single market, another option, would cross perhaps her reddest line of all - ending the free movement of people from the EU to the UK, and vice versa.\n\nCould that be a compromise too far for Theresa May?\n\nThe prime minister really doesn't want to hold European elections, but here in black and white is a commitment to the EU that preparations for the elections are taking place.\n\nThat includes making the legal order that sets the date of the poll on 23 May - something that needs to be done by 11 April.\n\nThe government will hope that this provides reassurance to other EU countries that it will hold the elections if it has to. Downing Street will also hope that election preparations concentrate minds among MPs who are refusing to back the prime minister's deal.\n\nThe language here is really important.\n\nThe prime minister is saying that the UK will not try to block EU business or be obstructive to other countries - something backbench critics, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, have already suggested could happen.\n\nThe phrase \"duty of sincere co-operation\" carries some weight in Brussels, and is designed to reassure the EU that the UK will play by the rules as long as it remains a member state.", "Ant McPartlin has made an emotional return to TV in the new series of Britain's Got Talent.\n\nSaturday's episode was his first full show since stepping down from on-screen commitments last year following a drink-driving conviction.\n\nIn the ITV variety show, a teary McPartlin was hugged by his co-presenter Declan Donnelly during a musical performance by schoolchildren.\n\nThe episode was watched live by an estimated 8.07 million viewers.\n\nThat means it is the most-watched show of 2019 so far, according to overnight figures, overtaking the opening episode of the BBC's Line of Duty, which was seen by 7.8 million viewers last week.\n\nSaturday's Britain's Got Talent was McPartlin's first time back on presenting duties, around eight months after taking time out from showbiz to seek help for addiction.\n\nThe pair did actually appear together again on our screens earlier this year during the National Television Awards, where they gave a winners speech via video, during live BGT auditions at a packed London Palladium.\n\nPaying tribute to his friend and co-presenter, McPartlin said at the time: \"I really don't feel like I can accept this award this year - the one reason we've won the award this year is because of this guy.\n\n\"His hard work, dedication, wit, funniness and being the best mate there is out there, I love you man - thank you.\"\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

He's the one who announces he's leaving, then you find him hours later wandering around the house with no money for a taxi. When he finally goes, he takes two bottles of wine with him.\"\n\nEuropean stereotype depictions tend to portray Germans as lacking a sense of humour.\n\nBut in political cartoons and on satire shows like Extra 3, Germany is finding plenty to laugh about Brexit.\n\n\"Fisch und Tschüss\" is a slogan for the satirical news programme, The Heute [today] Show - a play on words for the traditional UK dish, fish and chips. Except Tschüss in German means goodbye.\n\nAfter initially mourning the UK's vote to leave, then following every twist and turn of negotiations for a while, many Germans now feel alienated from the process.\n\nAnnegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (right) is very close to Angela Merkel (left) and is widely tipped to be the next German chancellor\n\nThey can't keep up with what's going on in the House of Commons.\n\n\"I no longer care so much how Brexit ends,\" you often hear. \"As long as it ends.\"\n\n\"Brexit has been a strain on all of us. In some ways it has paralysed us,\" Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told me in Berlin in a UK exclusive interview.\n\nShe's the leader of Germany's CDU party, very close to Angela Merkel and widely tipped to be the next German chancellor.\n\nMs Kramp-Karrenbauer - also known as AKK - is far from detached when it comes to Brexit.\n\nShe and a number of other German politicians penned a letter to the Times newspaper back in January, appealing to the UK to change its mind.\n\nNow, the EU's determined attempt to show unity at all times over Brexit means it has been frustratingly difficult to get EU leaders to agree to in-depth, on-the-record Brexit interviews .\n\nBut AKK is not the German chancellor. She had no qualms about laying bare her Brexit regret.\n\n\"Anything that keeps the UK close to the EU and best of all, in the EU, would make me personally very happy\" she told me.\n\n\"Maybe that could result from the current talks between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.\"\n\nShe hopes for a second referendum - but only, she said, if the majority of UK citizens felt it would heal the country rather than exacerbate divisions further.\n\nRemain supporters have been staging rallies in London\n\nWith the deadline for a Brexit decision looming next week on 12 April, Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer believes the risk of the UK leaving without a deal have \"risen dramatically\". This is something German business find no laughing matter.\n\nA recent poll suggested 100,000 German jobs could be affected by a no-deal Brexit.\n\nThe BDI Federation of German Industry warned Germany would lose at least 0.5% of its GDP - and this at a time when the German economy is already heading south.\n\nThat, I think, is why there is a sudden, noticeable softening in tone when EU leaders speak about Brexit.\n\nAt a press conference in Dublin on Thursday, Chancellor Merkel struck a determinedly encouraging note.\n\nInstead of \"no-deal is the most likely scenario\" or \"if Theresa May requests a longer extension, we'll attach really tough conditions\", which we've got used to hearing by now, Mrs Merkel chose the words: \"Where there's a will, there's a way.\"\n\nPeering into the abyss of a no-deal Brexit over the last few days, EU leaders have had a short, sharp reality check.\n\nWhat impact would that have on them and their countries, they wonder? And what are they be prepared to do to avoid it?\n\nThere is no common EU position on this yet. That's putting it politely.\n\nVerbal fisticuffs are predicted at next week's emergency Brexit summit when the 27 EU leaders come face-to-face.\n\nThe man who represents all of them here in Brussels, President of the European Council Donald Tusk, thinks he may have found a solution. However, it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.\n\nHe's proposing what he calls a \"flextension\", which could see the UK signing up to a one-year-long Brexit delay with the option to cut it short as soon as parliament ratified the Brexit deal.\n\nMr Tusk believes the arrangement would suit the EU and the UK - and as one EU official put it to me, it would avoid Brussels potentially being faced with \"endless\" UK requests for repeated short extensions every few weeks.\n\nEU leaders will discuss Mr Tusk's proposal at next Wednesday's summit. By law, their decision must be unanimous.\n\nAnnegret Kramp-Karrenbauer suggested something else the EU could do: take another look at the controversial backstop guarantee to keep the Irish border open after Brexit.\n\n\"If the UK now came to us and said, 'let's spend five days negotiating non-stop on how to avoid the backstop', I can't imagine anyone in Europe saying 'No'. If the UK had new watertight proposals for the border, I don't think anyone in the EU would say, 'We don't want to talk about it.'\"\n\nFar from official EU Brexit policy, but it gives us a taster of the kind of conversations going on behind closed EU political doors.", "A new track from the late Avicii, called SOS, will be released on Wednesday 10 April, his family says.\n\nThe Swedish DJ - whose real name was Tim Bergling - was found dead in Oman in April last year, aged 28.\n\nNow a 16-track album of new material entitled Tim, which \"he was close to completing\", will follow on 6 June.\n\nProceeds from the LP will go to Tim Bergling Foundation, set up after his death to help prevent mental illness and suicide.\n\n\"When Tim Bergling passed away on April 20, 2018,\" a family statement read, \"he was close to completing a new album.\n\n\"He left behind a collection of nearly finished songs, along with notes, email conversations and text messages about the music.\n\nThis YouTube post cannot be displayed in your browser.

children were underachieving, it said, and more likely to drop out or be temporarily or permanently excluded.\n\nAnd almost half of them were missing at least a month of lessons every year.\n\nThe MPs' report said: \"Some Gypsy and Traveller children are taken out of school as early as the end of primary school, some persistently do not attend and some never register at school at

at home without any formal education.\n\n\"Local authorities must serve a notice on parents they believe are not educating their children.\"\n\nBut the MPs acknowledged that many local authorities,

living in settled accommodation, most of them were not missing lessons because of time spent actually travelling.\n\n\"Parents have told us that they take their children out of education for reasons ranging from bullying that they experience in school, schools not taking their children's needs into account, and not seeing the relevance of education, to, most worryingly, feeling that schools do not educate their children in a way that they would find acceptable,\" the MPs said.\n\nMaria Miller, who chairs the committee, said these children had been comprehensively failed by policy-makers and public services.\n\nShe said: \"The government must stop filing this under 'too difficult' and set out how it intends to improve health, education and other outcomes for these very marginalised communities who are all too often 'out of sight and out of mind'.\"\n\nAssociation of School and College Leaders general secretary Geoff Barton urged all agencies to redouble their efforts over the education of Gypsy, Roma and Irish Traveller children.\n\nBut he said the reports of teachers making inappropriate remarks based on assumptions about pupils' backgrounds were \"anomalous and does not reflect the normal practice in schools, which is highly attuned to promoting an inclusive environment to children of all backgrounds\".\n\n\"Similarly, schools have robust policies in place to prevent

boxer died following a fight that \"should never have taken place\", a fatal accident inquiry has concluded.\n\nMike Towell died the day after losing in the fifth round to Welsh fighter Dale Evans in September 2016.\n\nThe inquiry said if he had been \"open and honest\" about a medical condition it was \"highly likely\" he would not have been allowed to box from 2014.\n\nIt said the boxing governing body's rules were vulnerable to the concealing of relevant information by fighters.\n\nThe 25-year-old, known as \"Iron Mike\" Towell, was diagnosed with severe bleeding and swelling to his brain following the 2016 fight in Glasgow.\n\nHe was given medical treatment in the ring before being taken to hospital, but died 24 hours later.\n\nThe inquiry was told that Mr Towell had been advised by doctors not to box three years earlier after suspected seizures.\n\nIt also heard details of his medical examinations with a qualified doctor appointed by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) in 2014, 2015 and 2016.\n\nThe notes showed that Mr Towell had said in the examinations that he had not suffered from headaches, blackouts or fits.\n\nIn his written judgement, Sheriff Principal Craig Turnbull said: \"Regrettably, it appears that Mr Towell's love of boxing caused him to ignore the advice of doctors and not to accept the medical condition he had been diagnosed as suffering from.\n\n\"It is hard not to conclude that the very drive and commitment to boxing which Mr Towell demonstrated in his ascent to a final eliminator contest for the British welterweight championship in only his thirteenth professional fight is what led to his untimely death.\"\n\nThe sheriff concluded that the 2016 fight against Mr Evans \"should never have taken place\".\n\nHe said: \"Had Mr Towell been open and honest with the doctors who carried out his annual BBBC medical examinations, it is highly likely that he would not have been licensed to box from at least 2014 onwards.\n\n\"Indeed, it is possible, although not certain, that he may never have been licensed to box professionally.\"\n\nSheriff Turnbull said he imagined that Mr Evans, who did not give evidence at the inquiry, would be haunted by the events \"for the rest of his life\".\n\nHe said: \"Whilst I am sure that it will be of little comfort to him, it is important to record that Mr Evans is

But Labour says its policy cannot be ruled out until it has had a chance to negotiate this with the EU.\n\nMembership of the single market is another area where there are differences.\n\nThe EU single market requires members to follow the same regulations and standards to keep trade flowing freely. It is based on four freedoms: goods, services, money and people (this last one allows EU citizens to live and work in the UK, and vice versa).\n\nWhen Theresa May first set out her Brexit negotiating objectives, she said failing to leave the single market \"would to all intents and purposes mean not leaving the EU at all\".\n\nThat's because the UK would have to continue to pay into the EU budget, follow all the rules, and continue to allow freedom of movement.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nLabour's policy, on the other hand, is to have \"close alignment with the single market\".\n\nBut the EU has previously said the UK cannot cherry-pick only the parts of the single market it likes.\n\nSo, it's unclear what the EU would accept as \"close alignment\", which Labour is calling for.\n\nTheresa May has always been firm that Brexit must mean the end to freedom of movement.\n\nIn her 2017 election manifesto, she set out plans for an immigration system designed to \"reduce and control\" the number of people coming to the UK from the EU - and she hasn't wavered from this pledge.\n\nLike the Conservatives, Labour also pledged at the 2017 election to end freedom of movement.\n\nSo, on the surface, this looks like something on which the two party leaders could agree.\n\nBut in January, when it came to voting on the Immigration Bill, which would put an end to freedom of movement, Labour encouraged its MPs to vote against it.\n\nA big unknown is whether Labour's policy of \"close alignment\" with the single market might restrict the UK's ability to set its own immigration policy.\n\nIts Brexit Secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, previously told BBC News the party would be willing to accept some EU workers but with restrictions.\n\n\"If somebody is coming to do a job and it needs to be done and it has been advertised locally beforehand with nobody able to do it, then most people would say, 'I accept that,'\" he said.\n\nA Labour spokesperson said: \"We support fair rules and the reasonable management of migration.\"\n\nTheresa May has said she's made it clear in the political declaration - the part of her deal agreed with the EU concerning the future relationship - that the UK agrees to not going backwards in terms of workers' rights.\n\nBut she has not guaranteed that when the EU introduces a new right or protection for workers, the UK will also adopt it.\n\nIn Prime Minister's Questions last week, though, Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to use EU standards, including any introduced in the future, as a minimum for the UK to improve on.\n\nHe accused the prime minister's deal of involving a \"race to the bottom\" on workers' rights - something he said Labour's proposals would prevent.", "Isaak Hayik, 73, is the oldest player to take part in a professional football match\n\nAn Israeli footballer has entered the record books after becoming the world's oldest player to take part in a professional game at the age of 73.\n\nIsaak Hayik set the record by playing as a goalkeeper for Israeli team Ironi Or Yehuda on Friday afternoon.\n\nDespite his advanced years, Hayik said he was \"ready for another game\" after playing for the full 90 minutes.\n\nHe received the Guinness World Records prize at a ceremony after the match, just days ahead of his 74th birthday.\n\nIroni Or Yehuda play in Liga Bet South A, in the fourth tier of the Israeli league.\n\nAlthough his team were beaten 5-1 by Maccabi Ramat Gan, Iraqi-born Hayik is said to have made a series of impressive saves during the game.\n\n\"This is not only a source of pride for me but also to Israeli sports in general,\" Hayik told Reuters news agency.\n\nOne of his sons, 36-year-old Moshe Hayik, described his father's achievement as \"unbelievable\".\n\nHe joked that he \"used to get tired before he did\" when they played together.\n\nUruguayan Robert Carmona was the previous record holder who, at the age of 53, was part of the starting 11 for Pan de Azucar in 2015.\n\nJapanese striker, Kazuyoshi Miura, is the oldest professional footballer to score a competitive goal.\n\nHe beat Sir Stanley Matthews' 52-year-long record in 2017 by netting the winner in Yokohama FC 's 1-0 victory over Thespa Kusatsu in J-League 2.", "The panel discussion was moved from Bolton to Dulwich \"due to ongoing Brexit votes\", the BBC said\n\nThe BBC has been accused of bias after it moved live filming of Question Time from Bolton to London.\n\nThe programme said Thursday's show was broadcast from Dulwich to allow politicians attending Brexit debates at Westminster to take part.\n\nSome social media users said moving filming from Bolton, where 58% voted to leave the EU, ensured a pro-EU audience in London, which voted to remain.\n\nThe BBC said it was looking for a new date to return to Bolton.\n\nThe weekly BBC One debate, which allows audience members to question a panel of politicians, journalists and public figures, had been due to air from Bolton's Albert Halls.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

addressed in the deal's political declaration.\n\nSir Keir said the government was \"not countenancing any change to the actual wording of the political declaration\", adding: \"Compromise requires change.\"\n\nThe prime minister has proposed that if UK MPs approve a deal in time, the UK should be able to leave before European Parliamentary elections on 23 May.\n\nBut she said the UK would prepare to field candidates in those elections in case no agreement is reached.\n\nIt is up to the EU whether to grant an extension to Article 50, the legal process through which the UK is leaving the EU, after MPs repeatedly rejected the withdrawal agreement reached between the UK and the bloc.\n\nThe BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler has been told by a senior EU source that European Council President Donald Tusk will propose a 12-month \"flexible\" extension to Brexit, with the option of cutting it short, if the UK Parliament ratifies a deal.\n\nBut French President Emmanuel Macron's office said on Friday that it was \"premature\" to consider another delay while French diplomatic sources described Mr Tusk's suggestion as a \"clumsy test balloon\".\n\nThe prime minister wrote to Mr Tusk to request the extension ahead of an EU summit on 10 April, where EU leaders would have to unanimously agree on any plan to delay the UK's departure.\n\nMrs May has already requested an extension to the end of June but this was rejected at a summit last month.\n\nInstead, she was offered a short delay to 12 April - the date by which the UK must say whether it intends to take part in the European Parliamentary elections - or until 22 May, if UK MPs had approved the withdrawal deal negotiated with the EU. They voted it down for a third time last week.\n\nA Downing Street spokesman said there were \"different circumstances now\" and the prime minister \"has been clear she is seeking a short extension\".\n\nIt's the day before the new European Parliament will hold its first session. So the logic is, that it would allow the UK a bit longer to seal a deal - but without the need for British MEPs to take their seats in a parliament that the UK electorate had voted to leave as long ago as 2016.\n\nBut, this being Theresa May, it's a plan she has previously proposed - and which has already been rejected.\n\nIt's likely the EU will reject it again and offer a longer extension, with the ability to leave earlier if Parliament agrees a deal.\n\nBut by asking for a relatively short extension - even if she is unsuccessful - the prime minister will be hoping to escape the ire of some of her Brexit-supporting backbenchers who are champing at the bit to leave.\n\nAnd she will try to signal to Leave-supporting voters that her choice is to get out of the EU as soon as is practicable - and that a longer extension will be something that is forced upon her, rather than something which she embraces.\n\nIn her letter, the prime minister says she would continue to seek the \"rapid approval\" of the withdrawal agreement and a \"shared vision\" for the future relationship between the UK and EU.\n\nShe said if cross-party talks with the Labour Party could not establish \"a single unified approach\" in the UK Parliament - MPs would be asked to vote on a series of Brexit options instead which the government \"stands ready to abide by\", if Labour commits to doing the same.\n\nThe UK proposes an extension to the process until 30 June, she wrote, and \"accepts the European Council's view that if the United Kingdom were still a member state of the European Union on 23 May 2019, it would be under a legal obligation to hold the elections\".\n\nTo this end, she says the UK is \"undertaking the lawful and responsible preparations for this contingency\".\n\nBut she suggests the UK should be able to leave earlier, if the UK Parliament approves a withdrawal deal before then, and cancel preparations for the European Parliamentary elections.\n\nThe EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, at a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels, said any extension granted should be the last and final offer, to maintain the EU's credibility.\n\nYou could almost hear the sound of collective eye-rolling across 27 European capitals after Theresa May requested a Brexit extension-time that Brussels has already repeatedly rejected.\n\nMost EU leaders are leaning towards a longer Brexit delay, to avoid being constantly approached by the PM for a rolling series of short extensions, with the threat of a no-deal Brexit always just round the corner.\n\nDonald Tusk believes he has hit on a compromise solution: his \"flextension\" which would last a year, with the UK able to walk away from it, as soon as Parliament ratifies the Brexit deal.\n\nEuropean leaders are awaiting the results of talks between the Conservatives and Labour\n\nBut EU leaders are not yet singing from the same hymn sheet on this.\n\nExpect closed-door political fireworks - though it's unclear whether it'll be a modest display or an all-out extravaganza - at their emergency Brexit summit next week. Under EU law, they have to hammer out a unanimous position.\n\nTalks between Labour and the Conservatives are continuing on Friday.\n\nSpeaking to Labour activists in Newport on Friday, Mr Corbyn said the government \"haven't appeared to have changed their opinions very much as yet\". He said Labour would push to maintain the UK's \"market relationship with Europe\", including defending rights and regulations.\n\nLabour chief whip Nick Brown is a member of the party's negotiating team\n\nForeign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the UK still hoped to leave \"in the next couple of months\" but it may have \"little choice\" but to accept a longer delay if Parliament could not agree a solution.\n\nBut Conservative Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg said the EU \"should be careful what it wishes for\".\n\n\"If we have EU elections, it is likely UKIP, Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage will do well,\" he told BBC Radio 4's World at One.\n\nAnother Tory Eurosceptic, Sir Bernard Jenkin, said he would prefer to stay in the EU for another year than for Britain to accept a \"humiliating defeat\" of a withdrawal agreement.\n\nThe Scottish National Party's Stephen Gethins said that the prime minister's proposal \"demonstrates beyond doubt she is putting the interests of her fractured Tory Party above all else\".\n\n\"It is clear that with the UK Parliament unable to reach a consensus - coupled with everything we now know on the damaging impact Brexit will have on the UK economy, jobs and living standards - it must now be the priority that the issue is brought back to the people in a fresh second EU referendum, with the option to remain on the ballot paper.\"", "The Labour Party's negotiating team consists of Rebecca Long Bailey and Sir Keir Starmer plus officials\n\nIt is almost the end of another very long and fractious week in Westminster (although their lordships look like they'll be going for quite some time yet).\n\nBut the main item of business in the last frantic 24 hours has been the cross-party talks between the Conservatives and the Labour Party.\n\nFrom both sides, it sounds like they are serious and genuine, and negotiators got into the guts of both their positions and technical details on Thursday.\n\nRemember, behind the scenes there isn't as much difference between the two sides' versions of Brexit as the hue and cry of Parliament implies.\n\nBut the political, not the policy, distance between the two is plainly enormous. I'm told there might be more contact tonight between the two sides, although not more face to face talks until Friday.\n\nAnd there is scepticism in Labour circles over whether the government is doing more so far than trying to explain merits of its deal, rather than suggest areas where they might be willing to budge.\n\nSources involved in the process suggest that there is yet to be the promise of a big move from Theresa May, a promise about the price she is willing to pay for Labour support.\n\nBut the talks are not just a stunt and there are suggestions it might be clear by Friday afternoon, if the process will actually be able to deliver an outcome.\n\nBrexit Secretary Stephen Barclay is part of the government's negotiating team\n\nTalks, as we know, often turn to more talks, and more talks, and more talks.\n\nYou don't need me to remind you, when Theresa May has the option of playing something long, which choice she makes.\n\nThere is, though, the obvious deadline of the prime minister's trip to Brussels next week, where she has to present something to her EU counterparts, in order to justify asking for another delay.\n\nBut presenting something is not the same as having to deliver a fully worked-out deal with every \"i\" dotted, every \"t\" crossed.\n\nIt would be an enormous political turnaround if a fully worked out cross-party compromise emerges by then, that can last.\n\nBut after months of Brussels pondering openly why the UK has not been able to work in a cross-party way, if Theresa May can show evidence that that process is under way, perhaps that will be enough.\n\nOne cabinet minister suggested to me today that, if they can show there isn't a \"permanent standoff\" in Parliament between the two main parties, then the EU will give the UK more time.\n\nDon't forget though, behind the scenes, some Brexiteers are still trying to organise to push for departure from the EU next week.\n\nLabour has a problem too - a big split over whether they could accept compromise to deliver Brexit, without the promise of another referendum.\n\nTheresa May and Jeremy Corbyn may have a lot of gaps to bridge between them, but they have gaps among their own sides too.", "A woman whose sons campaigned against her conviction for murdering her husband has been released from prison ahead of a fresh trial.\n\nSally Challen, 65, was found guilty of murdering 61-year-old Richard in a hammer attack in August 2010 and jailed for life in 2011.\n\nThe conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal in February.\n\nAppearing at the Old Bailey via video-link earlier, Mrs Challen, of Claygate in Surrey, denied murder.\n\nMrs Challen wept in court as Mr Justice Edis granted bail and several hours later was released from HMP Bronzefield, Surrey.\n\nThe judge set a further hearing for 7 June and a trial date for 1 July \"if necessary\".\n\nSally Challen's son David (left) said earlier that his mother leaving prison would be a \"massive moment\"\n\nThe appeal followed a campaign by her sons David, 31, and James, 35.\n\nSpeaking outside court earlier, David said the family was looking forward to \"being together again after so long\".\n\nHe said: \"We are overjoyed that bail has been granted for our mother and she will be now released back to us.

So, for example, there are no longer any British MEPs in the European Parliament.\n\nNegotiations on a trade deal with the EU have been proceeding for several months. The UK wants as much access as possible for its goods and services to the EU.\n\nBut the government has made clear that the UK must leave the customs union and single market and end the overall jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.\n\nBoth sides say there a still significant areas of disagreement - for example, on EU proposals for a so-called \"level playing field\", which would see the UK and EU maintain similar minimum standards on things like workers' rights and environmental protection.\n\nThe deadline for the two sides to agree an extension to the transition period has now passed.\n\nIf no trade deal has been agreed and ratified by the end of the year, then the UK faces the prospect of tariffs on exports to the EU.\n\nThe prime minister has argued that as the UK is completely aligned to EU rules, the negotiation should be straightforward. But critics have pointed out that the UK wishes to have the freedom to diverge from EU rules so it can do deals with other countries - and that makes negotiations more difficult.\n\nIt's not just a trade deal that needs to be sorted out. The UK must agree how it is going to co-operate with the EU on security and law enforcement. The UK is set to leave the European Arrest Warrant scheme and will have to agree a replacement. It must also agree deals in a number of other areas where co-operation is needed.\n\nIt's also important to recognise that major changes will take effect on 1 January 2021 whether or not a trade deal is agreed. Free movement of people will end and businesses trading with the EU will have to follow new rules.\n\nUse the list below or select a button", "Forces loyal to the Tripoli government have reportedly come from Misrata to help defend the capital\n\nWorld powers and the United Nations have condemned fresh fighting in Libya as rebel forces from the east of the country march on the capital.\n\nThe G7 group of rich countries urged all parties \"to immediately halt all military activity\". The UN Security council issued a similar call.\n\nKhalifa Haftar, leader of the self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), has ordered the advance on Tripoli.\n\nThe unrest comes ahead of a planned UN conference on possible new elections.\n\nTripoli is the home of Libya's internationally recognised government, which has the backing of the UN.\n\nViolence and division have riven Libya since long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in 2011.\n\nThe LNA's leader Haftar ordered his forces to advance on Tripoli on Thursday, as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres was in the city to discuss the ongoing crisis.\n\nGen Haftar spoke to Mr Guterres in Benghazi on Friday, and reportedly told him that his operation would not stop until his troops had defeated \"terrorism\".\n\nGen Haftar has ordered his forces to march on Tripoli\n\nOn Thursday, LNA forces took the town of Gharyan 100km (62 miles) south of Tripoli.\n\nThere are now reports troops have taken the capital's airport, which has been closed since 2014 - although these are disputed.\n\nResidents of Misrata east of Tripoli told Reuters news agency that militias from their city had been sent to defend the capital.\n\nArmed groups allied to the Tripoli government told the news agency on Friday that they had taken a number of LNA fighters prisoner.\n\nLNA troops seized the south of Libya and its oil fields earlier this year.\n\nIn a tweet, Mr Guterres said he left Libya \"with a heavy heart and deeply concerned\", saying he still hoped there was a way to avoid a battle around the capital.\n\nThe G7 later responded to the fighting with a statement urging an end to military operations.\n\n\"We strongly oppose any military action in Libya,\" the statement read, reiterating their support for UN-led efforts to bring elections and calling on all countries to support the \"sustainable stabilisation of Libya\".\n\nThe UN Security Council held a close-door meeting late on Friday. Afterwards the German UN ambassador Christoph Heusgen said members had \"called on LNA forces to halt all military movements\".\n\n\"There can be no military solution to the conflict,\" he said.\n\nA Russian spokesman earlier told reporters the Kremlin does not support Gen Haftar's advance and said it wants a solution by \"peaceful political means\".\n\nUN envoy Ghassan Salame said on Saturday that the conference planned for 14-16 April would still be held in time, despite the escalation - \"unless compelling circumstances force us not to\".\n\nTo the south, they appear to have got close to the outskirts of the capital, at one point claiming to have taken the airport. But to the west, they appear to have been pushed back.\n\nIt's still unclear how much this is a show of force to bolster Gen Haftar's position or a genuine effort to seize Tripoli.\n\nHe returned during the revolution and he's subsequently become the most powerful military leader in a country rife with militias, allied to a rival government in the east.\n\nDespite the chorus of international concern over his actions, he has had support from powerful outside players, including the UAE and Egypt.\n\nEfforts towards a political resolution for Libya have foundered time after time. The most recent hopes may once again have been dashed.\n\nBorn in 1943, the former army officer helped Colonel Muammar Gaddafi seize power in 1969 before falling out with him and going into exile in the US. He returned in 2011 after the uprising against Gaddafi began and became a rebel commander.\n\nIn December Haftar met Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj from the UN-backed government at a conference but refused to attend official talks.\n\nHe visited Saudi Arabia last week, where he met King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for talks.", "The government has not proposed any changes to the PM's Brexit deal during cross-party talks, says shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer.\n\nMeetings have been taking place between Tory and Labour politicians to find a proposal to put to the Commons before an emergency EU summit next week.\n\nBut Sir Keir said the government was not \"countenancing any change\" on the wording of the existing plan.\n\nA Downing Street spokesman said: \"We have made serious proposals.\"\n\nThe government was \"prepared to pursue changes to the political declaration\", a plan for the future relationship with the EU, to \"deliver a deal that is acceptable to both sides\", the spokesman said.\n\nSir Keir said the government's approach was \"disappointing\", and it would not consider any changes to the \"actual wording\" of the political declaration. \"Compromise requires change,\" he said.\n\n\"We want the talks to continue and we've written in those terms to the government, but we do need change if we're going to compromise.\"\n\nThe UK is currently due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by MPs.\n\nTheresa May has written to European Council President Donald Tusk to request an extension to 30 June.\n\nBut she says if the Commons agrees a deal in time, the UK should be able to leave before European parliamentary elections on 23 May.\n\nBoth sides say they are serious about these talks, but there is little to show for that so far.\n\nPerhaps that's no surprise.\n\nAfter more than two years of negotiations with the EU and months of wrangling in parliament, the idea that the government could sit down with Labour and thrash out a deal that keeps both sides happy in a few days seems optimistic at best.\n\nThere appears to be disagreement over what the talks can achieve; changes to the political declaration on the UK's future relationship with the EU, or an additional document to what has already been agreed?\n\nIf a deal is done, it may or may not fly. Plenty of Tory MPs are uneasy about working with Labour and the closer ties to the EU it may lead to.\n\nMany Labour MPs want a further referendum regardless of what is agreed - something Jeremy Corbyn has been luke warm on so far.\n\nAt this stage a deal looks doubtful. But this is Brexit and stranger things have happened.\n\nPrisons minister Rory Stewart told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that there were \"tensions\" but there was \"quite a lot of life\" left in the talks with Labour.\n\n\"In truth the positions of the two parties are very, very close and where there's goodwill it should be possible to get this done and get it done relatively quickly,\" he said.\n\nHe insisted that \"of course we are prepared to compromise\" on the political declaration.\n\nBBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said: \"The sense is that the government has only offered clarifications on what might be possible from the existing documents, rather than adjusting any of their actual proposals in the two documents.\"\n\nShe added that both sides agree the talks are not yet over, but there are no firm commitments for when further discussions might take place.\n\nIn case no agreement has been reached by 23 May, the prime minister has said the UK would prepare to field candidates in European parliamentary elections.\n\nBBC Europe editor Katya Adler has been told by a senior EU source that European Council President Donald Tusk will propose a 12-month \"flexible\" extension to Brexit, with the option of cutting it short if the UK Parliament ratifies a deal.\n\nBut French President Emmanuel Macron's office said on Friday that it was \"premature\" to consider another delay.", "A 45-year-old woman was left paralysed when her spinal cord was severed in an attack in north London, a court was told\n\nOne of five victims in a series of stabbings in north London has been left paralysed, a court was told.\n\nJason Kakaire, from Cameron Close, Edmonton, appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in connection with the attacks in Edmonton between Saturday and Tuesday.\n\nThe 29-year-old faces five counts of attempted murder and five counts of possession of an offensive weapon.\n\nA 45-year-old woman, said to be the first victim, has been left paralysed.\n\nTwo men remain in hospital in stable conditions and the other two victims have been discharged.\n\n\"The severity of the injuries inflicted varied, with the most seriously injured victim suffering a severed spinal cord causing paralysis\", prosecutor Harika Yuksel said.\n\nMr Kakaire was remanded in custody, and will next appear at the Old Bailey on 3 May.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Artwork: Scientists want to retrieve a pristine sample of material from the crater\n\nThe Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft is thought to have detonated an explosive charge on the asteroid it is exploring.\n\nThe idea was to create an artificial crater on the object known as Ryugu.\n\nIf this is successful - and the early indications are positive - the probe will later return to gather samples from the gouged depression.\n\nScientists believe these samples could help them better understand how Earth and the other planets were formed in the early Solar System.\n\nAn apparent spray of debris is captured by the deployed camera\n\nThe explosive device, called the Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI), was released from Hayabusa-2 on Friday. The SCI, a 14kg conical container, was packed with plastic explosive intended to punch a 10m-wide hole in the asteroid.\n\nBecause of the debris that would have been thrown up in this event, Hayabusa-2 manoeuvred itself before the detonation to the far side of 800m-wide Ryugu - out of harm's way and out of sight.\n\nBut the probe left a small camera behind called DCAM3 to observe the explosion. Images returned to Earth later on Friday appeared to show a spray of debris emerging from the limb of the asteroid, indicating the experiment to excavate a crater very probably worked.\n\nHayabusa-2 will, in a few weeks, return to the crater to try to collect its pristine samples. Because they will come from within the asteroid, they will not have been exposed to the harsh environment of space.\n\nBombardment with cosmic radiation over the aeons is thought to alter the surfaces of these planetary building blocks. So, scientists want to get at a fresh sample that hasn't been changed by this process.\n\nRyugu belongs to a particularly primitive type of space rock known as a C-type asteroid. It's a relic left over from the early days of our Solar System, and therefore records the conditions and chemistry of that time - some 4.5 billion years ago.\n\nA video posted by The Planetary Society shows the SCI being tested on Earth:\n\nThis YouTube post cannot be displayed in your browser.

The British people don't want that.\"\n\nBut he said an extension of a year or so would be better than leaving on the terms agreed by the PM, accusing her of being \"pretty dishonest\" about her willingness to countenance a no-deal exit.\n\nEurope's leaders have been split over whether, and how, to grant any extension.\n\nHowever, BBC Europe editor Katya Adler has been told by a senior EU official that Mr Tusk \"believes he's come up with an answer\", after several hours of meetings in preparation for the summit.\n\nBut his proposal would have to be agreed unanimously by EU leaders next week. The prime minister wrote to Mr Tusk to request the extension ahead of Wednesday's meeting.\n\nYou could almost hear the sound of collective eye-rolling across 27 European capitals after Theresa May requested a Brexit extension-time (till 30th June) that Brussels has already repeatedly rejected.\n\nMost EU leaders are leaning toward a longer Brexit delay to avoid being constantly approached by the PM for a rolling series of short extensions... with the threat of a no-deal Brexit always just around the corner.\n\nDonald Tusk, the president of the European Council, believes he has hit on a compromise solution: his \"flextension\", which would last a year with the UK able to walk away from it as soon as Parliament ratifies the Brexit deal.\n\nBut EU leaders are not yet singing from the same hymn sheet on this. Expect closed-door political fireworks, although it's unclear whether it'll be a modest display or an all-out extravaganza - at their emergency Brexit summit next week. Under EU law, they have to hammer out a unanimous position.\n\nThe EU has previously said that the UK must decide by 12 April whether it will stand candidates in May's European Parliamentary elections, or else the option of a long extension to Brexit would become impossible.\n\nTalks between Conservative ministers and Labour lasted nearly five hours on Thursday.\n\nMr Corbyn has written to his MPs saying discussions included customs arrangements, single market alignment, internal security, the need for legal underpinning to any agreements and a \"confirmatory\" vote.\n\nThe main item of business in the last frantic 24 hours has been the cross-party talks between the Conservatives and the Labour Party.\n\nFrom both sides, it sounds like they are serious and genuine, and negotiators got into the guts of both their positions and technical details on Thursday.\n\nRemember, behind the scenes there isn't as much difference between the two sides' versions of Brexit as the hue and cry of Parliament implies.\n\nBut the political, not the policy, distance between the two is plainly enormous.\n\nShadow Treasury minister Clive Lewis told the BBC the party would not be talking to the government if a \"confirmatory referendum\" was not an option.\n\nBut 25 Labour MPs - including a number representing Leave-voting seats - have written to Mr Corbyn, saying another referendum should not be included in any compromise Brexit deal.\n\nAsked whether another referendum on any final deal was a credible option, Mr Cox said: \"A good deal of persuasion might be needed to satisfy the government that a second referendum would be appropriate. But of course we will consider any suggestion that's made.\"\n\nIf the talks fail, the government faces an additional obstacle in the form of a backbench bill which would force the PM to seek a new delay.\n\nPassed by MPs by one vote on Wednesday, the bill is being scrutinised by the House of Lords, who will next consider the draft legislation on Monday.\n\nMinisters have argued it could increase \"the risk of an accidental no-deal\" in the event the EU agreed to an extension but argued for a different date than one specified by MPs.\n\nThat would mean Mrs May having to bring the issue back to the Commons on 11 April, when European leaders would have returned home, the prime minister's spokesman said.\n\nAfter a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Dublin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country still hoped for an \"orderly Brexit\".\n\nAngela Merkel visited Dublin for the first time in five years\n\n\"We will do everything in order to prevent...

We hope for a solution we can agree together with Britain.\n\n\"Where there's a will there's a way. We still hope for an orderly Brexit.\"\n\nMs Merkel said they hoped intensive ongoing discussions in London would lead to a situation by next Wednesday \"where Prime Minister Theresa May will have something to table to us on the basis of which we can continue to talk\".\n\nShe added: \"Until the very last hour - I can say this from the German side - we will do everything in order to prevent a no-deal Brexit; Britain crashing out of the European Union.\n\n\"But we have to do this together with Britain and with their position that they will present to us.\"\n\nLeo Varadkar restated his commitment to an open border in Ireland with free movement of people and frictionless trade, with no tariffs and no checks.\n\nHe added: \"We don't want Ireland to become a back door to the single market in the event of a hard Brexit.\"\n\nHe said the two leaders had discussed planning for a no-deal Brexit.\n\nTheir meeting comes just days after Mr Varadkar held discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.\n\nOn Wednesday, the EU said 12 April was \"the ultimate deadline\" for approving the Withdrawal Agreement.\n\nIt has been rejected by MPs three times, with DUP MPs voting against it - while independent unionist MP for North Down, Lady Hermon, voted in favour.\n\nIt was Angela Merkel's first visit to Dublin for five years\n\nSpeaking ahead of Ms Merkel's visit to Dublin, the taoiseach said she was \"a strong and unwavering ally of Ireland\".\n\nAhead of their meeting, the taoiseach and chancellor also held talks with people from Northern Ireland and the border area about the impact a no-deal Brexit could have on their livelihoods.\n\nMr Varadkar said it was \"important\" to hear the voices of people who lived and worked along the Irish border.\n\nIt is five years since the German chancellor was last in Dublin and although the Angela Merkel era is in its twilight she remains the most powerful politician in the EU.\n\nBoth she and Leo Varadkar are among the EU leaders who most want to avoid the UK crashing out without a deal.\n\nShe has been, as the taoiseach said an \"unwavering ally\", and most supportive of the Northern Ireland peace process.\n\nMr Varadkar has admitted there are difficulties in protecting both the single market and the Good Friday peace agreement while preventing a hard Irish border.", "Labour is redrafting European election leaflets after accusations of ignoring a pledge to hold a further Brexit referendum, the BBC has been told.\n\nThey will now refer to the party's preparations for a general election, with a referendum if necessary to avoid what it calls a \"bad Tory deal\".\n\nJeremy Corbyn says Labour's ruling body will make a decision on Tuesday about backing a public vote on any deal.\n\nAbout 100 Labour MPs and MEPs want such a promise in the party manifesto.\n\nThey wrote to members of the national executive committee before it meets on Tuesday to decide on the manifesto.\n\nShadow Treasury ministers Clive Lewis and Anneliese Dodds and the shadow minister for disabled people Marsha de Cordova are among the frontbenchers backing the call for a confirmatory vote in any eventuality - not just to avoid a \"bad deal\".\n\nSome Labour MPs are opposed to holding another EU referendum, however, with nine shadow cabinet members thought to be sceptical about such a move.\n\nIt had previously been reported that Labour's leaflets for the 23 May European Parliament elections do not mention pushing for another referendum.\n\nSenior Labour backbencher Hilary Benn had questioned why no mention was made of a \"confirmatory referendum\" - despite the party twice supporting one in Commons votes.\n\nThe party's deputy leader Tom Watson has also argued for Labour to promise another referendum, if it is to counter the electoral challenge posed by Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

That is a decision the national executive of the party will make.\"\n\nAsked if the promise of a public confirmatory vote would be in election material, he added: \"It's important that the party, which is a democratic party structure, makes those decisions. Sadly, or perhaps it's a good thing, I'm not a dictator of the Labour Party.\"\n\nWhen some of Labour's early European election literature was leaked, it provoked an internal row at a senior level.\n\nWhy? Because it made no mention of another referendum.\n\nA letter from almost 100 MPs and MEPs calling for one has put additional pressure on the leadership.\n\nWith the agreement of a senior official in Jeremy Corbyn's office, the campaign literature is now to be rewritten.\n\nThere will be a mention of a confirmatory ballot/public vote (translation: a referendum) but only to avoid \"a bad Tory deal\".\n\nThis won't go far enough for those MPs calling for a referendum on any deal. That is, even if Mr Corbyn reaches agreement on a \"soft\" Brexit with Theresa May, a chunk of his Parliamentary party still want another referendum.\n\nThe issue will be hammered out when the ruling national executive meets on Tuesday to decide the manifesto for the European elections.\n\nSome members will argue for no referendum, some will argue for one but with caveats, and others will press for a public vote under all circumstances.\n\nMaybe the printing presses should be mothballed until Wednesday.\n\nA letter, signed by some Labour MPs and MEPs, said: \"Our members need to feel supported on doorsteps by a clear manifesto that marks us out as the only viable alternative to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party.\n\n\"We need a message of hope and solidarity, and we need to campaign for it without caveats. To motivate our supporters, and to do the right thing by our members and our policy, a clear commitment to a confirmatory public vote on any Brexit deal must be part of our European election manifesto.\n\n\"We understand the many different pressures and views within our movement, but without this clear commitment, we fear that our electoral coalition could fall apart.\"\n\nRichard Corbett, leader of Labour's MEPs and a member of the NEC, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"The problem we face now is that Brexit is turning out to be so different from what was promised three years ago.\n\n\"Remember they said it would be easy - it's turning out to be rather complex. They said it would save loads of money that would all go to the NHS - it's turning out to be costly.\n\n\"They said it would not damage the economy - we are seeing firms move abroad, jobs lost, especially in manufacturing.\n\n\"Because it's so different, it's right that it should go back to the people for a final sign-off.\"", "Last updated on .From the section Premier League\n\nLiverpool once again put the pressure back on Manchester City as they returned to the top of the Premier League with an emphatic win over Huddersfield at Anfield.\n\nJurgen Klopp's side are now two points clear of the reigning champions, who have a game in hand, with Naby Keita's goal after 15 seconds setting the tone for a dominant display.\n\nWinning possession high in Huddersfield territory, the Guinea midfielder swept a close-range effort into the bottom left corner from Mohamed Salah's pass to record the Reds' quickest goal in a Premier League match.\n\nIt was also Liverpool's 100th goal in all competitions this term, and they doubled their lead when Sadio Mane glanced Andrew Robertson's superb cross into the bottom right corner.\n\nSalah then lobbed Town goalkeeper Jonas Lossl on the stroke of half-time to deliver a third after running on to Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball forward.\n\nWhile Huddersfield twice went close to scoring through Juninho Bacuna and Karlan Grant, it remained largely one-way traffic after the break.\n\nSalah and Keita both went close to their second goals of the evening before Mane headed in his second from Jordan Henderson's cross to briefly become the Premier League's joint-top scorer, on 20 goals.\n\nHowever his Egyptian team-mate Salah regained that honour, converting from another Robertson delivery in the closing stages to move on to 21 goals, sealing a fine team performance.\n\nLiverpool have now amassed more points than Arsenal's unbeaten \"Invincibles\" team of 2003-04 and have 12 points more than the Manchester United Treble-winning team of 1998-99.\n\nNo team has ever reached this number of points (91) and not gone on to win the title.\n\nManchester City, though, can regain top spot if they win their game in hand at Burnley on Sunday (14:05 BST), after which both teams have two games left.\n\nIf there were fears this could turn into a nervy occasion, they were quickly dispelled by a lightning-fast start in which visiting midfielder Jon Gorenc Stankovic was robbed of possession for Keita's opener.\n\nLiverpool's high press was hardly unexpected but it did the early damage before the usual suspects took over.\n\nRobertson displayed the form that has seen him rewarded with a place in the PFA's Premier League Team of the Year, driving forward from left-back at every opportunity.\n\nHis contribution to Mane's first goal and Salah's second saw him equal a Premier League record of 11 assists from a defender in a season.\n\nMane, who was also endorsed by his contemporaries and is a contender for the main PFA Player of the Year award on Sunday, showcased his ability to find space between defenders, directing two excellent headers past Lossl to record his 19th and 20th league goals of a prolific season.\n\nThat ensured Liverpool became the first club to have two players score 20 goals or more in a Premier League season since Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge accomplished the same feat in 2013-14, also for the Reds.\n\nSalah's two-goal return also saw him become only the third Liverpool player to pass 20 or more Premier League goals in consecutive seasons for the club, placing him in the same company as Robbie Fowler (1994-95 and 1995-96) and Luis Suarez (2012-13 and 2013-14).\n\nHis overall tally of 69 goals in 100 games does, however, separate him from those former heroes and is the highest number of goals managed by any Liverpool player after a century of appearances.\n\nKlopp will have also been satisfied with his team's fluency in attack even without Roberto Firmino, who was nursing a thigh injury.\n\nThe Brazilian is expected to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at Barcelona, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who returned from injury to make his first appearance since April 2018, will also bolster his options.\n\nAt the same stage last term, Huddersfield were still embroiled in a fight for Premier League survival - but this campaign has struck an entirely different tone.\n\nDavid Wagner - the architect of that triumph and the Terriers' first promotion to the top flight since 1972 - left in January and his successor Jan Siewert has been unable to recalibrate their fortunes.\n\nThis thumping defeat leaves Town with just four points from the last 69 available and a compendium of unwanted records loom.\n\nThe 77-point difference between them and Liverpool represents the biggest gap between the top and bottom club since the Premier League was formed.\n\nAnd this loss - their 28th of the season - moved them within one of the Premier League record for the most defeats, which is currently shared by Ipswich, Sunderland and Derby.\n\nWith two games to go against Manchester United and at Southampton, there is now the realistic prospect they could end up as the sole owners of that undesirable tag.\n\nTheir failings here were symptomatic of their season; albeit the quality of their opponents only exacerbated them.\n\nStankovic - a defender deployed in midfield - lacked the awareness to shift the ball away from Keita, giving the visitors an early mountain to climb.\n\nAnd both of Mane's headers were too easily dispatched against a side that has now conceded 74 goals in 36 games.\n\nWhile endeavour was not absent - Huddersfield covered more ground than their opponents (111.97km to 110.34km) - the visitors' failure to capitalise on promising situations made for a comfortable night for the hosts.\n\n'We scored wonderful goals' - what they said\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: \"We are happy with the points we have and now we are focused on the next game. We have a mindset that works and we try to create problems for each opponent by working hard.\n\n\"It's obviously an outstanding group of players, who did well against a Huddersfield side who are much better than the result shows. They had proper counter-attacks so we needed to be patient and we scored wonderful goals.\"\n\nHuddersfield manager Jan Siewart: \"I feel for the player who made the mistake and everyone felt sorry for him. I have to take care of my player because he is a fantastic character.

Malcolm McDowell played the role of the thug Alex in A Clockwork Orange\n\nThere is an element of good fortune to the timing of the Design Museum's Stanley Kubrick Exhibition. The show has been travelling the world for a decade or more like a tried-and-tested circus act, but because this year marks the 20th anniversary of the great auteur's death, its London residency feels like a special occasion rather than yet another stop on a never-ending tour.\n\nStill, luck will only you get you so far. Chances have to be taken.\n\nWould the Design Museum, a lively institution that inexplicably does not benefit from statutory public funding, be able to put on a show worthy of Kubrick's remarkable body of work?\n\nThe answer is… an emphatic, yes.\n\nThe exhibition has been reconfigured and re-thought by the museum's curators with help from the designers, Pentagram. Elements have been thoughtfully added, such as Don McCullin's Vietnam War photographs, which Kubrick used as a reference source for scenes in Full Metal Jacket.\n\nDon McCullin's Vietnam War photographs (Citadel Wall, Hue, 1968) were an invaluable source of research for Full Metal Jacket\n\nMatthew Modine and Stanley Kubrick on the set of Full Metal Jacket\n\nAnd, with a welcome touch of theatricality, an experiential exhibition entrance has been created consisting of a multi-screen audio-visual display tunnelling towards a central Kubrickian single point of perspective.\n\nYou enter the exhibition through a \"one-point perspective\" corridor, recreating the director's use of the \"one-point perspective\" technique\n\nIt promises - the marketing blurb says - the chance to \"Step inside the world of Stanley Kubrick, one of the greatest film-makers of the 20th Century\". And you do, sort of. Well, not exactly into his world, more inside his head.\n\nThis is far more than a shallow theme-park-type exhibition with a smattering of celebrity objects and archive photographs that you can motor through in a few minutes. Yes, there are plenty of both, but they are contextualised with a wealth of other materials, from annotated scripts and meticulously prepared shooting schedules, to on-set film footage and correspondence with close collaborators.\n\nKubrick's detailed notes on the scripts for The Shining (L) and Barry Lyndon (R)\n\nYou don't really get a true sense of the man behind the camera. Like almost all exhibitions nowadays, this is a myth-making enterprise in which the only criticism of the subject (letters from censors and disapproving cinema-goers) are designed to elevate his status as a maverick genius.\n\nBut what it lacks in the way of a serious examination of an idiosyncratic, complex artist, it makes up for with a deeply researched documentary account of his working process.\n\nIn the first room, we meet a young Stanley making a living by winning a few dollars playing chess and taking photographs for Look magazine (there's an accompanying exhibition of this early photographic work in the gallery above). We see the Eyemo camera he used for the fight scenes in Killer's Kiss, an early film he considered \"amateurish\". And in the corner is the cold-metal lumpen shape of his trusty Steenbeck editing table.\n\nKubrick used this Steenbeck editing machine for Full Metal Jacket\n\nKubrick is much more than a director, he is also a writer, producer, cinematographer and editor who saw his job as a \"…a kind of idea and taste machine\".\n\nWhat then follows is a room-by-room presentation of all his major films, starting with Paths of Glory and then Spartacus, which has a continuity breakdown sheet on display that reads:\n\nThis costume was worn by Laurence Olivier (Marcus Licinius Crassus) in Spartacus\n\nAnd nor has this exhibition.\n\nIf you were to read, watch and look at everything on display, I reckon it'd take you half a day - and that's with an empty gallery. Add a few thousand people and the ensuing queuing, you might have to think about breaking for lunch.\n\nBut if you have even the slightest interest in film-making, regardless of your knowledge of Kubrick, this is a show worthy of your time. The exhibits (around 700), installations (including the grand-finale recreation of Space Station V from 2001: A Space Odyssey), and extended film clips are all immaculately and considerately presented.\n\nThe recreation of the Space Station from 2001: A Space Odyssey is the star display in the final section of the exhibition\n\nYou won't find out what Kubrick was like, but you will discover what it takes to make a great work of art: 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration, and the odd slice of luck.", "Last updated on .From the section Celtic\n\nJozo Simunovic scoring Celtic's winner against Kilmarnock was a \"perfect\" way to pay tribute to club legend Billy McNeill, says manager Neil Lennon.\n\nSimunovic wears the number five jersey once graced by the former Celtic defender and manager, who captained the side to European Cup glory in 1967.\n\nHis goal came after 67 minutes and Lennon said he thought \"Billy would have been delighted\".\n\nIt came during a day of events designed to celebrate the club legend's life.\n\nLennon and captain Scott Brown laid a wreath at McNeill's statue ahead of kick-off and the crowd burst into a rendition of the Celtic Song.\n• None 'McNeill remains everything Celtic want to be'\n• None 'Legend is not a big enough word'\n\nMcNeill died on Monday aged 79 and his family wanted his life commemorated in \"cheers, songs and applause\" at the Premiership game against Kilmarnock.\n\nWith McNeill's former Lisbon Lions team-mates in attendance, a minute's applause was held before kick-off and video tributes shown and Celtic's players wore black armbands bearing the number five.\n\nCity rivals Rangers will also hold a minute's applause when they host Aberdeen - who McNeill managed - on Sunday, as did various other SPFL clubs on Saturday.\n\nLennon thought his side's 1-0 win, which takes Celtic to within a point of an eighth consecutive Scottish title, \"couldn't have turned out any better\".\n\n\"He would have been delighted with the centre-backs, both of them, their performance, the clean sheet and obviously the number five getting the winner,\" he told BBC Scotland.\n\nThere was a real sense of emotion in the air as the Celtic team coach arrived at the foot of the Celtic Way.

Because of Brighton's superior goal difference Cardiff must effectively win both their remaining fixtures to have a chance of staying up.\n\nAt Craven Cottage they battled valiantly and defended diligently but, as has often been the case this season, they lacked the quality to really trouble their opponents.\n\nSet-pieces seemed Cardiff's likeliest route to a goal as they struggled to conjure the kind of nous and touch required to fashion scoring opportunities in open play.\n\nWith Storm Hannah still making itself felt with blustery winds on the banks of the Thames, the Welsh side looked to exploit the conditions by sending a series of free-kicks and throws swirling into the Fulham box.\n\nFollowing one free-kick launched from the halfway line by Lee Peltier, captain Sean Morrison was manhandled by Aleksandar Mitrovic but had his appeals for a penalty ignored by referee Chris Kavanagh.\n\nIt was not until they fell behind that Cardiff truly threatened; Junior Hoilett hitting the crossbar with one effort before Morrison and Danny Ward forced Rico into action.\n\nBut by then the writing was already on the wall.\n\nCardiff confounded expectations by winning promotion in the first place and, even by Warnock and his players' odds-defying standards, avoiding relegation from their current predicament would be an escape act of Houdini proportions.\n\nThese two sides were adversaries before they were locked in this battle to avoid relegation, having both vied for automatic promotion from the Championship last season.\n\nFulham were widely regarded as the neutrals' choice with their aesthetically-pleasing style. However, it was Cardiff who prevailed with their less attractive but ultimately more effective approach, with Fulham eventually promoted via the play-offs.\n\nThat clash of styles prompted a fair bit of debate - and bickering - between the two sets of fans and, while most of it was good natured, there was a sense at Craven Cottage that Fulham's supporters wanted their side to drag Cardiff down to the second tier with them.\n\nThey had reason to be confident of doing so because, after their relegation was confirmed on 2 April following a ninth successive defeat, the Cottagers actually won their matches against Everton and Bournemouth.\n\nOn this occasion, they initially reverted to the kind of form which saw them sink into the bottom three; struggling to play with any fluency as they seemed unsettled by Cardiff's uncompromising approach.\n\nThe home side improved in the second half and, after Mitrovic squandered a handful of chances, Babel sent his dipping, arcing 20-yard shot over the despairing dive of Neil Etheridge to give interim Fulham manager Scott Parker a third successive victory.\n\nIf anyone was in any doubt about how much Fulham's fans enjoyed beating Cardiff and contributing to their probable relegation, they offered an unequivocal answer in the form of their gleeful chant: \"You're going down with the Fulham.\"\n\n'A special goal' - what they said\n\nFulham caretaker boss Scott Parker: \"Ryan Babel's goal was special. He has come up with a fantastic strike and won us the game.\n\n\"Also it was a massive positive for goalkeeper Sergio Rico, he stood up and so did the back four.\n\n\"It has been a tough year, we have conceded a lot of goals but three clean sheets is massive.\"\n\nCardiff manager Neil Warnock: \"I am disappointed but could not have asked anymore of them.

She has been interviewed by police but is not being treated as a suspect.\n\nIt's still not clear if Mr Hashim, who is accused of leading a group of bombers (alleged to include two sons of a wealthy tycoon), is alive or dead.\n\nWearing a white scarf, Ms Madaniya sits uncomfortably in the humidity of Kattankudy, a predominantly Muslim town overlooking the Indian Ocean.\n\nShe is clearly unhappy with the attention that she is getting.\n\nShe is the youngest of five siblings and Mr Hashim, believed to be around 40, is the eldest. She insists she has had no contact with her brother since 2017, when he went underground after police tried to arrest him over violence between ideologically opposed Muslim groups.\n\nSince Sunday's attacks, a video has emerged in which a man believed to be Zahran Hashim appears pledging allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State (IS) group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.\n\nHis is the only face visible among eight men who are said by IS to have carried out the attacks.\n\nSri Lankan police say there were nine attackers in total, including a woman, and that they were all homegrown. They were described as \"educated\" and \"middle class\" - with one having studied in the UK and Australia. Two were sons of a prominent spice trader who is now in custody, and one of the men's wives blew herself up during a raid on Sunday, killing her two children and several police officers, police sources say.\n\n\"I came to know about his activities only through the media. I never thought, even for a moment, that he would do such a thing,\" says Ms Madaniya of her brother.\n\n\"I strongly deplore what he has done. Even if he is my brother, I cannot accept this. I don't care about him any more.\"\n\nKattankudy's Muslims fear reprisals because the preacher came from their town\n\nHer brother, a radical Islamist preacher, came to local prominence a few years ago after he posted several videos on YouTube and other social media platforms denouncing non-believers.\n\nThe videos triggered concern among other Muslims, who are a minority in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka. Community leaders have said they raised concerns repeatedly with authorities but were ignored. Officials say they were unable to track him after he went into hiding.\n\nBut few would have expected a part-time preacher from a small town in eastern Sri Lanka to be able to organise the deadliest suicide bombings in this war-scarred country's history, attracting global attention and fresh scrutiny of links between local extremists and international groups like Islamic State (IS).\n\nWhite flags are hung in Kattankudy to pay tribute to the dead\n\n\"We had a very good relationship during our childhood. He was very friendly with everyone in the neighbourhood. But for the last two years, he has not been in contact with us,\" said Ms Madaniya.\n\nIt is still not clear whether Mr Hashim had direct contact with IS or if he was a local jihadist who pledged allegiance to the group, which has claimed the attack.\n\nKattankudy is near the city of Batticaloa, where the Zion Church was bombed on Easter Sunday, killing at least 28 people.\n\nThe town, of less than 50,000 people, has now been thrust into the spotlight.\n\nWhen I tried to find the ancestral house of Mr Hashim, many people were not willing to answer. People were scared to talk about him.\n\nSince the bombings, the Muslim community has been on edge and apprehensive.\n\n\"That someone from our area has been linked to the attacks is really a worry for us. We are shocked and upset by it. Our community doesn't support hardliners. We believe in harmony and unity,\" said Mohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Zubair, the leader of the Federation of Kattankudy Mosques.\n\nDuring my visit, Kattankudy was shut down in a day of protest against the carnage. Black and white ribbons fluttered along the main roads as a mark of respect for those killed.\n\nThe mosque Zahran Hashim founded had hundreds of followers - but is now empty\n\nMr Zubair said he met the radical preacher several years ago and spoke to him about his Islamic traditions, which differed from mainstream local practices. He said the community abhorred violence and that it was taking all steps to stop young people being radicalised.\n\nMr Hashim started as a small-time preacher but, his sister said, soon attracted attention and admiration in some quarters because of his teachings.\n\nAs his popularity grew. he went around the region preaching Islam.\n\nAfter the mainstream Islamic groups refused to allow him to speak to their congregations due to his hardline views, he started his own outfit, the National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ) in Kattankudy.\n\nHe also built a mosque close to the beach and held prayers and classes inside the building. After his controversial hate speeches surfaced on social media, locals say he was expelled from the NTJ. He simply vanished but continued to post incendiary videos from hiding. There is some scepticism locally as to whether he really cut links with the group he founded.\n\nSri Lanka's deputy defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene has said that a splinter group emerged from the original NTJ.\n\nMohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Zubair says the community does not support extremists\n\nIt is still not clear whether Zahran Hashim was one of the suicide bombers.\n\nBut one thing seems clear: as the government pointed out, those who carried out the bombings must have had some help from abroad.\n\nDuring our conversation, Mr Hashim's sister also revealed that her elderly parents had left their home in the same area a few days before the Easter Sunday bombings and that she had not heard from them since.\n\n\"It makes me think that my brother could have kept in touch with them,\" she said. The authorities are also trying to trace Mr Hashim's younger brother.\n\nMuslim leaders here maintain that Mr Hashim was an aberration and that their community, like all Sri Lankans, is mourning what they see as senseless attacks.\n\nBut the fear of reprisals in this small town is very real.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.", "The ruthlessness of the suicide attacks has stunned Sri Lankans\n\nSri Lanka is in a state of shock and confusion, trying to understand how a little-known Islamist group may have unleashed the wave of co-ordinated suicide bombings that resulted in the Easter Sunday carnage - the worst since the end of the civil war a decade ago.\n\nThe South Asian island nation has experience of such attacks - suicide bombers were used by Tamil Tiger rebels during the civil war. But the ruthlessness of the new atrocities has stunned the nation anew.\n\nEventually the government spokesman, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne, came out and blamed National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), a home-grown Islamist group, for the bombings.\n\n\"There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded,\" he told reporters on Monday.\n\nThat might go some way to explaining how a group that has been blamed for promoting hate speech may now have been able to scale up its capacity so monumentally.\n\nOn Tuesday, however, the Islamic State (IS) group said its militants had carried out the attacks. It published a video of eight men the group claimed were behind the attacks.\n\nThe IS claim should be treated cautiously. It is not clear whether these men were trained by the group or simply inspired by IS ideology.\n\nThe manner in which NTJ was identified was circuitous. The prime minister said there had been warnings made to officials that hadn't been shared with the cabinet. He said only the president would get such briefings, even though it is not clear if he personally did in this instance.\n\nThis is not an insignificant statement from a prime minister who was at loggerheads with the president for much of the past year. Many are drawing a conclusion about how political discord can have serious consequences - as well as undermining trust in the messages being put out.\n\nIf the suicide bombers were local Sri Lankan Muslims, as stated by the government, then it is a colossal failure by the intelligence agencies. Information is also now emerging in the US media that the Sri Lankan government may also have had warnings from US and Indian intelligence about a possible threat.\n\n\"Our understanding is that [the warning] was correctly circulated among security and police,\" Shiral Lakthilaka, a senior adviser to President Maithripala Sirisena, said.\n\nThe Sri Lankan president, who oversees security forces, has now set up a committee to find out what went wrong.\n\nSri Lankan intelligence was credited with foiling several suicide attacks by the Tamil Tiger rebels at the height of the civil war and for penetrating a well-knit and ruthless Tamil Tiger organisation.\n\nWhile this is clearly a security and political failure, there are also questions about the nature of communal strife in Sri Lanka's more recent history. During the civil war, Muslims were also targeted by Tamil Tiger rebels and suffered at their hands.\n\nBut Muslim community leaders say successive Sri Lankan governments have failed to restore confidence among young Muslims following more recent attacks by some members of the majority Sinhalese Buddhist community.\n\nOne of the worst incidents was in the town of Digana in central Sri Lanka where one person died when a Sinhalese mob attacked Muslim shops and mosques in March last year.\n\nSri Lanka declared a state of emergency after attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned businesses in 2018\n\n\"After Digana quite a few Muslims lost faith in the government to provide them security. Some of them got the idea that they can defend themselves,\" says Hilmy Ahamed, vice-president of the Sri Lanka Muslim Council.\n\nThe attacks and what the youths perceived as the lack of action by the government may have led some of them towards groups like NTJ.\n\nSome of the radicals were blamed for damaging Buddhist statues in recent years and their leader was arrested last year for offending religious sentiments. He later apologised for offending the sentiments of the Buddhist Sinhalese.\n\nNow it is widely believed a new group emerged a few years ago under the leadership of Zaharan Hashim, a radical Muslim preacher from eastern Sri Lanka.\n\nMr Hashim posted several videos on social media purportedly promoting hatred against non-Muslims. Most of his videos are in the Tamil language. His teachings are said to have attracted several Muslim youths.\n\n\"This man was preaching hate with lots of YouTube videos on social media posts. Some of us reported him to the national intelligence services. Once about three years ago and once in January this year,\" says Mr Ahamed.\n\nHe added that security services did not take any action against Mr Hashim. Reports say the preacher was one of the suicide bombers though it's yet to be confirmed.\n\nLike Muslims, Christians are a minority in Sri Lanka\n\nMuslim community leaders say a few youths went to Syria to join IS, and some of them were killed in fighting there.\n\nIt's important not to overstate this, though, and a former senior military officer Maj Gen (Retired) GA Chandrasiri says \"we have very cordial relationship with the Muslims. Most Muslims are not with these people. They are peace loving people\".\n\nThere are no reports so far of a high number of jihadists returning to Sri Lanka. But even if a select few jihadists are angry with the majority, why were Christians targeted?\n\nIn the complex cocktail of Sri Lanka's religious and ethnic tensions, Christians are almost unique for not perpetrating any kind of violence on behalf of their community. After all, it is a religion that crosses ethnic lines.\n\nI covered the Sri Lankan civil war for years and reported on many Tamil Tiger suicide attacks. It took years for the group to be able to learn to detonate such devices.\n\nSo it is intriguing that a lesser-known Islamist group, with a few home-grown radicals, could carry out six - some say even seven - suicide attacks with such pinpoint precision and devastation. None of them failed.\n\nEven though connections with global jihadist groups are unclear, the choice of major luxury hotels and Christians as a target - in addition to the sophistication of the operation - makes it plausible that local radicalism has come under the influence of global jihadist networks. It would be a tried and tested pattern in global attacks.\n\nDuring the Sri Lankan civil war foreign tourists were spared and attacks on outsiders were rare. In the latest bombings, many foreigners were killed and this has raised the spectre of links with al-Qaeda or IS.\n\n\"For this type of operation you need lots of assistance from outside. You need finances, training and technique for this kind of work. You can't do these things alone. May be there was some help from outside,\" Gen Chandrasiri said.\n\nThe number of tourists visiting Sri Lanka has soared after the end of the civil war\n\nViolence is not new to Sri Lanka. It went through turbulent times during a left-wing insurrection in the 1970s followed by a nearly three-decade bloody war with the Tamil Tiger rebels. Tens of thousands of people were killed.\n\nBut the ruthlessness and sophistication of the latest atrocities indicate that it will be challenge for the Sri Lankan security forces to deal with those behind the bombings. The last thing the Sri Lankan public wants is more violence and recrimination.", "Apple Watch was the most accurate, according to the Which? study\n\nSome fitness trackers are inaccurately measuring running distance, according to research from the consumer watchdog Which?\n\nIt tested 118 trackers using a treadmill to complete the distance of a marathon - 26.2 miles (42km).\n\nIt found that the least reliable was the Garmin Vivosmart 4, which underestimated the distance by 10.8 miles – meaning the researcher actually ran 37 miles.\n\nGarmin said it was because that particular tracker did not contain GPS.\n\nIt described the Vivosmart 4 as an “all-round smart fitness tracker” and suggested that marathon runners use its Forerunner range which is GPS-enabled.\n\nOf the eight Apple models involved in the test, the Apple Watch series 1 was the most accurate, over-estimating the distance by 1%, while the series 3 overestimated by 13% - stating that the runner had completed the marathon distance after 22.8 miles.\n\n“Our tests have found a number of models from big-name brands that can’t be trusted when it comes to measuring distance, so before you buy, make sure you do your research to find a model that you can rely on,” said Natalie Hitchins, head of home product and services at Which?\n\nOther results for the number of miles reached before the tracker recorded the official marathon distance included:\n\nA Huawei spokesman told the BBC “individual runner variances” could have affected the test results.\n\n“With regards to running indoors, as this particular test was carried out on a treadmill,\" he said. \"The algorithm of Huawei Watch 2 Sport calculates the user’s stride length from the acceleration sensor data while running at different speeds.\"\n\nTesting devices in the real world, rather than on treadmills, would provide more accurate results, experts said\n\nIn January 2019 researchers at Aberystwyth University found that all the trackers they tested overestimated the number of calories burned during activity.\n\nGavin Taitt is a regular middle-distance runner from Earlston, in the Scottish Borders, who also coaches others. He said he and his group use a combination of Garmin Forerunner watches and the social fitness network Strava to measure and share results.\n\n“The watches are quite expensive but have good feedback,” he said.\n\nAnother expert agreed that the calibrated treadmill test was not the best method because all the devices would have had to rely on step-counting algorithms rather than GPS (for those which had it) to calculate distance.\n\n\"This is a real shame as a real world (on-road) test would have been more useful for consumers,\" said Dr Dale Esliger, senior lecturer in physical activity and health at Loughborough University.\n\nHe added that when investing in a tracker, people should think about which metric is going to be most useful to them in terms of measuring their progress.\n\n\"Step-counting has become a key metric for many; however, devices are now coming with heart-rate monitoring capability which relates to activity intensity and provides insight into cardiovascular health,\" he explained.\n\n\"In our research, this [heart rate] is the metric that seems to be the potent driver for behaviour change.\"", "The regional airline FlyBMI owed £37m when it collapsed.\n\nMost creditors, including passengers and suppliers who have lost out, may receive only 1% of their claims, say administrators.\n\nThe airline cancelled all flights and filed for administration in February, blaming spikes in fuel and carbon costs and uncertainty over Brexit.\n\nMany of the airline's routes, aircraft and former staff have been taken on by its sister airline company, LoganAir.\n\nWhen FlyBMI filed for administration, passengers were due £3.8m under EU compensation rules, according to a statement of affairs from the company's directors.\n\nPassengers whose flights were cancelled were told to contact their travel agents or insurance or credit card companies for a refund.\n\nRolls Royce was owed £2.25m for a servicing contract, the statement of affairs says.\n\nFlyBMI ran services for mainly business passengers between UK regional airports and continental European cities, including Munich, Frankfurt and Brussels.\n\nStansted Airport and Bristol Airport were owed money by FlyBMI, according to a list of unsecured creditors to the airline.\n\nThe carrier operated 17 aircraft, 14 of which were \"detained\" after the administration \"due to unpaid navigation service charges,\" according to the administrators.\n\nParent company Airline Investments Limited (AIL) said the company made a loss of £6.8m in the year to 31 March 2018 and losses deepened during the rest of 2018.\n\n\"The company was also becoming increasingly concerned about the potential impact of Brexit and the ability to conduct intra-European flying whilst operating under a UK Operators Certificate,\" say the administrators BDO.\n\nBDO said FlyBMI's trading was worse than forecast at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 when FlyBMI's ultimate owners, the aviation entrepreneurs Peter and Stephen Bond, said they would stop funding FlyBMI.\n\nAIL said more than £40m had been invested in FlyBMI in the six years before its collapse.\n\nMany of FlyBMI's former routes, including those from Newcastle and Aberdeen, are now operated by LoganAir.\n\nThe Scottish airline has also taken over several \"key\" contracts that FlyBMI used to operate, including one for Airbus and the route between Derry and London Stansted.\n\n\"Any airline is free to start routes as they see fit, and indeed one other airline has already announced services on a former BMI route too\", LoganAir's managing director Jonathan Hinkles told the BBC in February.\n\nFifteen aircraft which carried FlyBMI livery are currently, or will soon be, operated by LoganAir.\n\nAbout 130 former FlyBMI pilots and cabin crew now work for LoganAir.\n\nAirport landing slots controlled by FlyBMI were \"transferred\" to LoganAir before administrators were appointed \"preventing the airports seeking to cancel them\", BDO says, adding that LoganAir is trying to sell the slots.\n\nThe two airlines used to \"trade as sister airlines with their own management teams and brand identities but taking advantage of commercial, operational and procurement synergies\", according to AIL.", "Arena bomb victims.

This is important for us now.\"\n\nThe sound of distant shelling and artillery fire has become familiar in Tripoli once again. For the past three weeks forces loyal to General Khalifa Haftar have been blocked at the outskirts of the city. The military strongman from Eastern Libya has not been strong enough to take the capital.\n\nBut there are fears that his offensive could deteriorate into all-out war, and allow the so-called Islamic State to regroup in Libya. Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha, shares these concerns.\n\nHe said the attack on Tripoli was \"the ignition of a civil war\" and that IS fighters from Iraq and Syria could take advantage of the chaos to enter Libya.\n\n\"This is the best time,\" he told the BBC. \"ISIS always look for any conflicts or fighting and they come immediately. It will be very difficult to fight them again.\"\n\nAbout 700 Libyan fighters were killed in the operation to drive IS from its coastal stronghold in the city of Sirt, in 2016.

No charges have been filed against him in the US, but American media outlets report that federal prosecutors are considering charges.\n\nChelsea Manning is released from Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas.\n\nSweden's director of public prosecutions announces that the rape investigation into Mr Assange is being dropped.\n\nThe Ecuadorean government confirms Mr Assange was granted Ecuadorean citizenship in December and asks the UK to recognise him as a diplomatic agent - a move that would give him immunity. The UK refuses.\n\nLawyers for Mr Assange ask for a UK warrant for his arrest to be dropped.\n\nAn arrest warrant for Mr Assange is upheld by Westminster Magistrate's Court.\n\nEcuador says the country's latest efforts to negotiate the departure of Mr Assange from its London embassy have failed.\n\nEcuador removes extra security at its London embassy following claims that $5m (£3.7m) has been spent to protect Mr Assange.\n\nThe UK and Ecuador confirm they are holding talks over the fate of Mr Assange.

To his critics, he is a publicity seeker who has endangered lives by putting a mass of sensitive information into the public domain.\n\nAssange is described by those who have worked with him as intense, driven and highly intelligent, with an exceptional ability to crack computer codes.\n\nHe set up Wikileaks, which publishes confidential documents and images, in 2006, making headlines around the world in April 2010 when it released footage showing US soldiers shooting dead 18 civilians from a helicopter in Iraq.\n\nBut later that year he was detained in the UK - and later bailed - after Sweden issued an international arrest warrant over allegations of sexual assault.\n\nSwedish authorities wanted to question him over claims that he had raped one woman and sexually molested and coerced another in August 2010, while on a visit to Stockholm to give a lecture.\n\nHe says both encounters were entirely consensual, and a long legal battle ensued which saw him seek asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid extradition.\n\nAfter spending almost seven years inside the embassy, Assange was arrested by British police on 11 April 2019. It came after Ecuadorean President Lenín Moreno tweeted that his country had taken \"a sovereign decision\" to withdraw his asylum status.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London\n\nThe Wikileaks founder had always argued that he could not leave the embassy because he feared being extradited from Sweden to the US and put on trial for releasing secret US documents.\n\nOfficers removed him from the embassy's premises and took him into custody at a central London police station.\n\nOn 1 May 2019, Assange was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for breaching his bail conditions.\n\nWeeks later, an investigation into the 2010 rape allegation against Assange was reopened by Swedish prosecutors.\n\nAssange gestures with a thumbs up after he was arrested by Met Police officers at Ecuador's embassy in London\n\nLater that month, the US filed 17 new charges against Assange for violating the Espionage Act, related to the publication of classified documents in 2010.\n\nWikileaks said the announcement was \"madness\" and \"the end of national security journalism\".\n\nAs Assange prepared to fight against extradition to the US, Swedish prosecutors announced that the investigation into the 2010 rape allegation had been dropped.\n\nProsecutors said the evidence against Assange was \"not strong enough to form the basis for filing an indictment\", ending a case that spanned a decade.\n\nIn April 2020 it emerged that Assange had fathered two children while living inside the Ecuadorean embassy.\n\nStella Morris, a South African-born lawyer, said she had been in a relationship with the Wikileaks founder since 2015 and was raising their two young sons on her own.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange’s fiancée says she dreaded going public with their relationship\n\nCurrently jailed in London's Belmarsh Prison, Assange's legal fight against extradition to the US continues.\n\nDuring one extradition hearing in September 2020, a psychiatrist said Assange complained of hearing imaginary voices and music.\n\nMichael Kopelman, who had interviewed Assange about 20 times, told the court he would be a \"very high\" suicide risk if he were extradited to the US.\n\nAssange has been generally reluctant to talk about his background, but media interest since the emergence of Wikileaks has thrown up some insight into his influences.\n\nHe was born in Townsville in the Australian state of Queensland in 1971, and led a rootless childhood while his parents ran a touring theatre. He became a father at 18 and custody battles soon followed.\n\nThe development of the internet gave him a chance to use his early promise at maths, though this too led to difficulties.\n\nAfter pleading guilty to \"hacking\", Assange escaped prison on the condition he did not reoffend\n\nIn 1995 Assange was accused, with a friend, of dozens of hacking activities. Though the group of hackers was skilled enough to track detectives tracking them, Assange was eventually caught and pleaded guilty.\n\nHe was fined several thousand Australian dollars - only escaping a prison term on the condition that he did not reoffend.\n\nHe then spent three years working with an academic, Suelette Dreyfus - who was researching the emerging, subversive side of the internet - writing a book with her, Underground, that became a bestseller in the computing fraternity.\n\nMs Dreyfus described Assange as a \"very skilled researcher\" who was \"quite interested in the concept of ethics, concepts of justice, what governments should and shouldn't do\".\n\nThis was followed by a course in physics and maths at Melbourne University, where he became a prominent member of a mathematics society, inventing an elaborate puzzle that contemporaries said he excelled at.\n\nHe began Wikileaks in 2006 with a group of like-minded people from across the web, creating a web-based \"dead-letterbox\" for would-be leakers.\n\n\"[To] keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions,\" Assange told the BBC in 2011.\n\n\"We've become good at it, and never lost a case, or a source, but we can't expect everyone to go through the extraordinary efforts that we do.\"\n\nHe could go for long stretches without eating and focus on work with very little sleep, according to Raffi Khatchadourian, a reporter for the New Yorker magazine who spent several weeks travelling with him.\n\n\"He creates this atmosphere around him where the people who are close to him want to care for him, to help keep him going. I would say that probably has something to do with his charisma.\"\n\nWikileaks and Assange came to prominence with the release of the footage of the US helicopter shooting civilians in Iraq.\n\nHe promoted and defended the video, as well as the massive release of classified US military documents on the Afghan and Iraq wars in July and October 2010.\n\nThe whistleblowing website went on to release new tranches of documents, including five million confidential emails from US-based intelligence company Stratfor.\n\nBut it also found itself fighting for survival in 2010, when a number of US financial institutions began to block donations.\n\nAssange told the BBC that in order to protect sources he would \"encrypt everything\"\n\nCoverage of Assange was then dominated by Sweden's efforts to question him over the 2010 sexual allegations. He said such efforts were politically motivated and part of a smear campaign.\n\nAssange turned to then Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa for help, the two men having expressed similar views on freedom in the past.\n\nHis stay at the Ecuadorean embassy was punctuated by occasional press statements and interviews. He made a submission to the UK's Leveson Inquiry into press standards, saying he had faced \"widespread inaccurate and negative media coverage\".\n\nConcerns over his health also surfaced but in August 2014, but Assange dismissed reports that he would be leaving the embassy to seek medical treatment.\n\nAssange later complained to the UN that he was being unlawfully detained as he could not leave the embassy without being arrested.\n\nIn February 2016, a UN panel ruled in his favour, stating that he had been \"arbitrarily detained\" and should be allowed to walk free and compensated for his \"deprivation of liberty\".\n\nAssange dismissed reports in 2014 that he would be leaving the embassy to seek medical treatment\n\nAssange hailed it a \"significant victory\" and called the decision \"binding\", leading his lawyers to call for the Swedish extradition request to be dropped immediately.\n\nThe ruling was not legally binding on the UK, however, and the UK Foreign Office responded by saying it \"changes nothing\".\n\nIn 2016, Sweden's chief prosecutor Ingrid Isgren travelled to the Ecuadorean embassy in London to question Assange over the 2010 rape allegation. Prosecutors had already dropped their investigation into the sexual assault allegations after running out of time to question him and bring charges.\n\nSince Sweden dropped its investigation into Assange, the European Arrest Warrant for him no longer stands.\n\nBut the Metropolitan Police said Assange still faced the lesser charge of failing to surrender to a court in June 2012, an offence punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine.\n\nAnd it was a warrant based on this charge which led to his arrest in 2019. Citing the warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates' Court on 29 June 2012, the Metropolitan Police said Assange had been \"taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as possible\".\n\nMet Police officers dragged Assange out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he had stayed since 2012\n\nThe police said they had been invited into the embassy by the Ecuadorean ambassador.\n\nEcuador's position vis-à-vis Assange changed after President Correa, a strong advocate of Wikileaks, was succeeded in office by Lenín Moreno.\n\nMr Moreno and his government had grown increasingly frustrated with Assange and his refusal to follow the rules they had imposed for his continued stay in the embassy.\n\nIn his video statement, President Moreno said he had \"inherited this situation\" and that Assange had ignored Ecuador's requests to \"respect and abide by these rules\".\n\nFrom the embassy's balcony in 2012, Assange urged the US to end its \"witchhunt\" against Wikileaks\n\nHis decision, Mr Moreno said, followed \"repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols\" by Assange.\n\nHe said that in particular, Assange had \"violated the norm of not intervening in the internal affairs of other states\", most recently in January 2019 when Wikileaks had released documents from the Vatican.\n\nIn a video statement, President Moreno also said that he had requested that Great Britain guarantee that Assange would not be extradited to a country where he could face torture or the death penalty.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Last updated on .From the section Champions League\n\nManchester United must produce another unlikely Champions League comeback to keep their hopes alive after Barcelona left Old Trafford with a slender advantage following the quarter-final first leg.\n\nBarcelona, with superstar Lionel Messi quiet by his standards, were nowhere near their best but secured the win after Luis Suarez's far post header from the Argentine's pass deflected in off Luke Shaw in the 12th minute and was confirmed by the video assistant referee after initially being given offside.\n\nNew Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can take heart from his team's great endeavour but opportunities were at a premium, the best being a first-half header from Diogo Dalot that he directed off target.

So, for example, there are no longer any British MEPs in the European Parliament.\n\nNegotiations on a trade deal with the EU have been proceeding for several months. The UK wants as much access as possible for its goods and services to the EU.\n\nBut the government has made clear that the UK must leave the customs union and single market and end the overall jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.\n\nBoth sides say there a still significant areas of disagreement - for example, on EU proposals for a so-called \"level playing field\", which would see the UK and EU maintain similar minimum standards on things like workers' rights and environmental protection.\n\nThe deadline for the two sides to agree an extension to the transition period has now passed.\n\nIf no trade deal has been agreed and ratified by the end of the year, then the UK faces the prospect of tariffs on exports to the EU.\n\nThe prime minister has argued that as the UK is completely aligned to EU rules, the negotiation should be straightforward. But critics have pointed out that the UK wishes to have the freedom to diverge from EU rules so it can do deals with other countries - and that makes negotiations more difficult.\n\nIt's not just a trade deal that needs to be sorted out. The UK must agree how it is going to co-operate with the EU on security and law enforcement. The UK is set to leave the European Arrest Warrant scheme and will have to agree a replacement. It must also agree deals in a number of other areas where co-operation is needed.\n\nIt's also important to recognise that major changes will take effect on 1 January 2021 whether or not a trade deal is agreed.

You couldn't quite make it up.\n\nIt is approaching 03:00 GMT - it's weird enough at this time of day to be about to see Theresa May speak.\n\nAnd the new Brexit deadline is, you guessed it, Halloween.\n\nSo to get all the terrible metaphors about horror shows, ghosts and ghouls out of the way right now, let's consider straight away some of the reasons why this decision is a treat in one sense, but could be a trick too.\n\nA treat? First and most importantly, the EU has agreed to put the brakes on. We will not leave tomorrow without a deal.\n\nThe prime minister's acceptance that leaving the EU without a formal arrangement in place could be a disaster won out.\n\nShe has at least avoided the possible turmoil of leaving with no arrangement, which for so long Theresa May claimed to countenance.\n\nThe UK now has nearly six more months to work out exactly how it wants to leave the EU.\n\nOf course it gives those trying to block the departure more time to try to make that happen too.\n\nBut in its simplest sense, the prime minister asked for a delay so that she didn't open Pandora's Box.\n\nThe EU eventually said yes, even on a different timetable. Theresa May is of course likely to still try to move as quickly as possible.\n\nAnd there are quite a few potential tricks.\n\nThis new October deadline might not solve very much at all.\n\nIt's longer than those who wanted a short delay hoped. So there won't be immediate pressure on the prime minister's current plan (which might be a vain hope) of getting out of this - finding common ground with the Labour party.\n\nCertainly, everyone in politics involved in Brexit could do with a breather, but a pause of such duration might just enable more delay, as the chance to quicken the tempo fades away.\n\nAnd with only limited expectations for that process anyway, it's likely sooner or perhaps later that the prime minister will be back in Parliament again asking MPs to coalesce around an option that could command a majority that could last a while.\n\nAgain, without time pressure, it's not clear why Parliament would suddenly be in a rush to agree. That's why it's not entirely surprising to hear the EU Council president warn minutes after the agreement that the UK must not waste the extra time it's been given.\n\nThis could, although I hate to say it, just make way for months of extra gridlock before the UK and the EU find themselves back here in a similar situation in the autumn.\n\nThat's why, potentially, an election might become the way out that few want is still possible.\n\nAnd don't be in any doubt that those in Parliament and outside pushing for another referendum, or to stop Brexit altogether, will use this opportunity to make their case more and more loudly.\n\nEven Brexiteers in Cabinet, who are completely committed to the cause, acknowledge that the further away from the referendum in 2016, the weaker the mandate for departure becomes.\n\nThere is though, still time for a leadership contest in the Tory Party that would leave a new prime minister in charge, to find a new way out.\n\nEven before the official confirmation of the decision came, one minister got in touch to say that now the prime minister can stay on \"in name only\" with a leadership contest getting going as early as just after Easter and a new leader in place by early summer.\n\nPerhaps, by the time this new deadline approaches, someone else will be trying to untangle the mess.\n\nIf that happens, the EU, which deeply fears a more Eurosceptic leader, might just have played a trick on themselves.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Your ongoing talks with the leader of the opposition should now broaden to include other parties, the devolved administrations, business and civic society, and open up the range of options on the table in an effort to reach a genuine consensus.\n\n\"Fundamentally, the Scottish government considers that any deal agreed by the UK parliament should be put to another referendum, with the alternative proposition on the ballot paper being to remain in the EU.\n\n\"The extension to 31 October provides enough time to do this, and it is essential that no time is lost in making the necessary preparations.\"\n\nSpeaking on BBC radio's Good Morning Scotland programme, Scottish Secretary David Mundell said Mrs May was determined to leave the EU by 30 June.\n\nHe said: \"We're not leaving the EU tomorrow on the basis of no deal.

He had been accused of failing to protect children and suppressing investigations, allegations he denied.\n\nThe only solution to the problem, the former Pope said, was \"obedience and love for our Lord Jesus Christ\".\n\nHis analysis of the sex abuse scandals that have rocked the Roman Catholic Church takes a more theological and historical approach than Pope Francis.\n\nPope Francis at a summit on protecting minors in the church in February 2019\n\nAt a summit in February, the current pontiff called for \"concrete measures\" to tackle the crisis, not just \"simple and obvious condemnations\".\n\nAs he had \"served in a position of responsibility as shepherd of the church\" when more cases emerged, Pope Benedict said he wanted to \"contribute to a new beginning\".\n\nPublished in the German Catholic magazine Klerusblatt, the 5,500-word letter is divided into three parts.\n\nThe first part presents the \"wider social context of the question\", lamenting the 1960s as a time when \"previously normative standards regarding sexuality collapsed entirely\".\n\nHe blames sexual films, images of nudity and \"the clothing of that time\" leading to \"mental collapse\" and \"violence\".\n\nAt the time of the sexual revolution, \"Catholic moral theology suffered a collapse that rendered the Church defenceless against these changes in society\", he said.\n\nThe sexual revolution led to paedophilia being \"diagnosed as allowed and appropriate\".\n\nNext, the letter examines how this period affected the \"dissolution of the Christian concept of morality\", particularly in Catholic educational institutions.\n\nIn some cases, bishops \"sought to bring about a kind of new, modern\" Catholicism and the sexual revolution led to \"homosexual cliques\" in seminaries.\n\nHe claimed one bishop showed his students pornographic films to make them \"resistant to behaviour contrary to the faith\".\n\n\"The question of paedophilia, as I recall, did not become acute until the second half of the 1980s,\" he said.\n\nThe letter concludes by advocating a return to faith.\n\n\"Why did paedophilia reach such proportions?\" he questions. \"Ultimately, the reason is the absence of God.\"\n\nPope Benedict XVI giving a farewell before retiring due to ill health in February 2013\n\nHe says \"the death of God in a society\" means \"the end of freedom\" and the solution is to \"live by God and unto Him\".\n\nFinally, Pope Benedict thanks his replacement, Pope Francis, \"for everything he does to show us, again and again, the light of God, which has not disappeared, even today\".\n\nPope Francis said in a letter in published in 2018 that the Church \"did not act in a timely manner\" on the issue of child sexual abuse, and \"showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them\".", "Rupert Murdoch's Times and the Sunday Times should be free to merge editorial departments, the government has ruled.\n\nCulture secretary Jeremy Wright said he was \"minded\" to allow News UK's request that the two newspapers should be allowed to share journalism resources.\n\nWhen the papers were bought in 1981 Mr Murdoch gave legal undertakings to keep them separate.\n\nBut News UK has argued that the competitive landscape has changed, especially in the digital era.\n\nThe papers employ 505 people between them.\n\nThe Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport will now take more evidence before a final verdict.\n\nMr Wright said in a statement: \"I am... minded to accept News UK's application.

And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. M87: The significance of the first ever image of a black hole\n\nThe image shows an intensely bright \"ring of fire\", as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by superheated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined - which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth.\n\nThe edge of the dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.\n\nAstronomers have suspected that the M87 galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its heart from false colour images such as this one. The dark centre is not a black hole but indicates that stars are densely packed and fast moving\n\nThe image matches what theoretical physicists and indeed, Hollywood directors, imagined black holes would look like, according to Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London - who is part of the EHT collaboration.\n\n\"Although they are relatively simple objects, black holes raise some of the most complex questions about the nature of space and time, and ultimately of our existence,\" he said.\n\n\"It is remarkable that the image we observe is so similar to that which we obtain from our theoretical calculations. So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again.\"\n\nBut having the first image will enable researchers to learn more about these mysterious objects. They will be keen to look out for ways in which the black hole departs from what's expected in physics. No-one really knows how the bright ring around the hole is created. Even more intriguing is the question of what happens when an object falls into a black hole.\n\nProf Falcke had the idea for the project when he was a PhD student in 1993. At the time, no-one thought it was possible. But he was the first to realise that a certain type of radio emission would be generated close to and all around the black hole, which would be powerful enough to be detected by telescopes on Earth.\n\nHe also recalled reading a scientific paper from 1973 that suggested that because of their enormous gravity, black holes appear 2.5 times larger than they actually are.\n\nThese two factors suddenly made the seemingly impossible, possible. After arguing his case for 20 years, Prof Falcke persuaded the European Research Council to fund the project. The National Science Foundation and agencies in East Asia then joined in to bankroll the project to the tune of more than £40m.\n\nThe eventual EHT array will have 12 widely spaced participating radio facilities\n\nIt is an investment that has been vindicated with the publication of the image. Prof Falcke told me that he felt that \"it's mission accomplished\".\n\nHe said: \"It has been a long journey, but this is what I wanted to see with my own eyes. I wanted to know is this real?\"\n\nNo single telescope is powerful enough to image the black hole. So, in the biggest experiment of its kind, Prof Sheperd Doeleman of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics led a project to set up a network of eight linked telescopes. Together, they form the Event Horizon Telescope and can be thought of as a planet-sized array of dishes.\n\nKatie Bouman is the MIT student who developed the algorithm that pieced together the data from the EHT. Without her contribution the project would not have been possible.\n\nEach is located high up at a variety of exotic sites, including on volcanoes in Hawaii and Mexico, mountains in Arizona and the Spanish Sierra Nevada, in the Atacama Desert of Chile, and in Antarctica.\n\nA team of 200 scientists pointed the networked telescopes towards M87 and scanned its heart over a period of 10 days.\n\nThe information they gathered was too much to be sent across the internet. Instead, the data was stored on hundreds of hard drives that were flown to central processing centres in Boston, US, and Bonn, Germany, to assemble the information. Katie Bouman a PhD student at MIT developed an algorithm that pieced together the data from the EHT. Without her contribution the project would not have been possible. Prof Doeleman described the achievement as \"an extraordinary scientific feat\".\n\n\"We have achieved something presumed to be impossible just a generation ago,\" he said.\n\n\"Breakthroughs in technology, connections between the world's best radio observatories, and innovative algorithms all came together to open an entirely new window on black holes.\"\n\nThe team is also imaging the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.\n\nOdd though it may sound, that is harder than getting an image from a distant galaxy 55 million light-years away. This is because, for some unknown reason, the \"ring of fire\" around the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is smaller and dimmer.\n\nHow to see a Black Hole: The Universe's Greatest Mystery can be seen the UK at 21:00 on BBC Four on Wednesday 10 April.", "The finger and toe bones are curved, suggesting climbing was still an important activity for this species\n\nThere's a new addition to the family tree: an extinct species of human that's been found in the Philippines.\n\nIt's known as Homo luzonensis, after the site of its discovery on the country's largest island Luzon.\n\nIts physical features are a mixture of those found in very ancient human ancestors and in more recent people.\n\nThat could mean primitive human relatives left Africa and made it all the way to South-East Asia, something not previously thought possible.\n\nThe find shows that human evolution in the region may have been a highly complicated affair, with three or more human species in the region at around the time our ancestors arrive.\n\nOne of these species was the diminutive \"Hobbit\" - Homo floresiensis - which survived on the Indonesian island of Flores until 50,000 years ago.\n\nProf Chris Stringer, from London's Natural History Museum, commented: \"After the remarkable finds of the diminutive Homo floresiensis were published in 2004, I said that the experiment in human evolution conducted on Flores could have been repeated on many of the other islands in the region.\n\n\"That speculation has seemingly been confirmed on the island of Luzon... nearly 3,000km away.\"\n\nThe new specimens from Callao Cave, in the north of Luzon, are described in the journal Nature. They have been dated to between 67,000 years and 50,000 years ago.\n\nThey consist of thirteen remains - teeth, hand and foot bones, as well as part of a femur - that belong to at least three adult and juvenile individuals. They have been recovered in excavations at the cave since 2007.\n\nHomo luzonensis has some physical similarities to recent humans, but in other features hark back to the australopithecines, upright-walking ape-like creatures that lived in Africa between two and four million years ago, as well as very early members of the genus Homo.\n\nThe finger and toe bones are curved, suggesting climbing was still an important activity for this species. This also seems to have been the case for some australopithecines.\n\nThe teeth of Homo luzonensis are consistent with the remains being assigned to a new species\n\nIf australopithecine-like species were able to reach South-East Asia, it would change the way our ideas about who in our human family tree left Africa first.\n\nHomo erectus has long thought to have been the first member of our direct line to leave the African homeland - around 1.9 million years ago.\n\nAnd given that Luzon was only ever accessible by sea, the find raises questions about how pre-human species might have reached the island.\n\nIn addition to Homo luzonensis, island South-East Asia also appears to have been home to another human species called the Denisovans, who appear to have interbred with early modern humans (Homo sapiens) when they arrived in the region.\n\nCallao Cave, in the north of Luzon, is open to tourists\n\nThis evidence comes from analysis of DNA, as no known Denisovan fossils have been found in the region.\n\nThe Indonesian island of Flores was home to a species called Homo floresiensis, nicknamed The Hobbits because of their small stature. They are thought to have survived there from at least 100,000 years ago until 50,000 years ago - potentially overlapping with the arrival of modern humans.\n\nInterestingly, scientists have also argued that Homo floresiensis shows physical features that are reminiscent of those found in australopithecines. But other researchers have argued that the Hobbits were descended from Homo erectus but that some of their anatomy reverted to a more primitive state.\n\nIn an article published in Nature, Matthew Tocheri from Lakehead University in Canada, who was not involved with the research, commented: \"Explaining the many similarities that H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis share with early Homo species and australopiths as independently acquired reversals to a more ancestral-like hominin anatomy, owing to evolution in isolated island settings, seems like a stretch of coincidence too far.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

of whom 13,000 later succeeded in getting into their preferred school.\n\nThey found that the process of appeals, where decisions can be challenged, and waiting lists, tended to work in favour of better-off families.\n\nAppeals can be on grounds such as claiming there has been an error in applying admissions rules, or extra evidence that should have been taken into account or particular medical or social circumstances.\n\nThere were also differences between ethnic groups, with 21% of white British families who appealed getting their chosen place, compared with 10% of black families.\n\nThe research found that the battle for places on appeal is almost always for high-achieving schools, graded either good or outstanding.\n\nBut the study says that this second round of attempts to get a place, through appeals and waiting lists, does not seem to be a level playing-field.\n\nReport author Emily Hunt says it provides evidence of the inequality facing parents trying to get their preferred place.\n\n\"This is particularly concerning, as parents use these routes to access schools with higher Ofsted ratings, and these schools also have socially advantaged intakes.\n\n\"It is clear from our research that the current appeals and waiting lists system is not consistent with the government's aim of an education system that prioritises the most disadvantaged.\"\n\nPaul Whiteman, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said there needed to be a more strategic approach to providing enough school places.\n\n\"For too many, there will be huge disappointment.

Complaints are important and must be investigated properly.\"\n\nThe committee calls the existing system in England and Wales of individual certification \"a rubber-stamping exercise\".\n\nMr Neill said: \"We're calling on the government to consult on whether new powers should sit with an existing body or a new one, and how it should be funded.\"\n\nAlthough debt collection was reformed in 2014, 11 debt and mental health organisations launched a campaign called Taking Control to gather evidence and force further change.\n\nGillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: \"Bailiffs regularly break the rules, as our evidence has proved.\"\n\nIn the year to March, Citizens Advice saw a 16% increase in bailiff-related issues from last year and helped 40,000 people with almost 104,000 bailiff problems.\n\nThe charity highlighted bailiffs refusing to set up offers of affordable payments, charging excessive fees and misrepresenting their rights of entry.\n\nOf all the people it helped with bailiff issues, 60% were female, 35% were either disabled or had a long-term health condition and of those, 11% had a mental health condition.\n\nMs Guy said: \"It's excellent to see MPs from across all parties call for a regulator to crack down on the bailiff industry. They've also rightly called for a complaints process to be established, so problems are dealt with independently of the bailiff industry and outside the court system.\n\n\"All eyes will now be on the Ministry of Justice, which must introduce these reforms as a matter of urgency.\"\n\nIn November, the Civil Enforcement Association which represents civil enforcement agencies operating in England and Wales responded to Citizens' Advice's report that called for tougher regulation. Chief executive Russell Hamblin-Boone said: \"It is of great concern that Citizens Advice fails to make a distinction between laws that are broken and laws that people simply don't like.\n\n\"For example, in the [Citizens Advice] report it is assumed that a threat to force entry to a property or to remove goods required for work purposes is breaking the regulations. That is simply incorrect and depends on the circumstances. It is shocking that agents are being accused of acting illegally based on such flimsy evidence.\"\n\nIncreasingly bailiffs are used to collect council tax arrears.

He said the other method open to landlords - a Section 8 eviction - meant the renter could halt the process by paying his arrears, only to stop paying again later.\n\nEven using the quicker eviction method that is due to be banned, the tenant lived rent-free for six months, costing Mr Downes £5,000.\n\nIf the renter had fought the case in court, it could have taken a year to move him on, Mr Downes said.\n\n\"Everything seems to be loaded towards the tenant,\" he said. \"People like me are going to think, is it worth bothering any more?\"\n\nThe National Landlords Association (NLA) said its members should be able to use a Section 8 possession notice to evict someone who has broken the terms of their tenancy - for example by not paying rent.\n\nThis sometimes involves landlords spending money taking action in court if the tenants refuse to leave.\n\nBut NLA chief executive Richard Lambert said many landlords were forced to use Section 21 as they have \"no confidence\" in the courts to deal with Section 8 applications \"quickly and surely\".\n\nHe said the proposed changes would create a new system of indefinite tenancies by the \"back door\", and the focus should be on improving the Section 8 and court process instead.\n\nThe National Landlords Association says the changes would make contracts \"meaningless\"\n\nA Ministry of Housing spokesman said court processes would \"also be expedited so landlords are able to swiftly and smoothly regain their property\" where such a move is justified.\n\nAmina Gichinga, from London Renters Union - which has been campaigning for the end of no-fault evictions - said: \"This campaign success is a vital first step to ending profiteering from housing and towards a housing model based on homes for people, not profit.\n\n\"Section 21 is a pernicious piece of legislation that renters across the country will be glad to see the back of.\n\n\"The law allows landlords to evict their tenants at a moment's notice, leaving misery and homelessness in its wake. This fear of eviction discourages renters from complaining about disrepair and poor conditions.\"\n\nAlicia Powell, 24, said \"it was a horrible shock\" when she received an eviction notice after complaining about a leak in her north London flat.\n\nShe and her boyfriend had to find £3,000 in moving costs with two months' notice and \"it completely rocks your world, everything is uprooted\", she told BBC Two's Victoria Derbyshire programme.\n\nShelter, a charity which helps people struggling with bad housing or homelessness, said the proposals would \"transform lives\".\n\nChief executive Polly Neate said: \"Government plans to abolish no-fault evictions represent an outstanding victory for England's 11 million private renters.\"\n\nLabour's shadow housing secretary John Healey said that any promise of help for renters is \"good news\" but added that \"this latest pledge won't work if landlords can still force tenants out by hiking the rent\".\n\nThe Labour party previously said it would scrap so-called Section 21 evictions, among a host of other reforms to the rental sector.\n\n\"Tenants need new rights and protections across the board to end costly rent increases and sub-standard homes as well as to stop unfair evictions,\" Mr Healy added.\n\nThe majority of Section 21 notices do not appear in official statistics - that's because most tenants will leave their property soon after they receive their eviction letter and do not mount a legal challenge.\n\nHowever, where Section 21 notices are challenged, some statistics are available. They show that the use of Section 21 has risen sharply since 2011.\n\nLast year 10,128 repossessions were carried out by county court bailiffs in England using \"the accelerated procedure\" (which doesn't require a court hearing).\n\nA repossession occurs when bailiffs are given permission to remove tenants from a property in order to return it to a landlord.\n\nSo whilst the official numbers do not tell the whole story, they do show there is a rising trend over the long-term - even if the numbers have dropped a bit over the last couple of years.", "Julian Assange after his removal from the embassy\n\nJulian Assange used the Ecuadorean embassy in London as a \"centre for spying\", the country's leader has said.\n\nLenin Moreno also said no other nation had influenced the decision to revoke the WikiLeaks founder's asylum after what he called violations by Assange.\n\nPresident Moreno told the Guardian newspaper Ecuador's old government had provided facilities within the embassy \"to interfere\" with other states.\n\nPresident Moreno - who came to power in 2017 - said of the decision to end Assange's seven-year stay in the embassy: \"Any attempt to destabilise is a reprehensible act for Ecuador, because we are a sovereign nation and respectful of the politics of each country.\"\n\nHe added: \"We can not allow our house, the house that opened its doors, to become a centre for spying.\"\n\nOn Monday, two left-wing German lawmakers, Heike Hansel and Sevim Dagdelen, and Spanish MEP, Ana Miranda, held a news conference outside Belmarsh prison, where Assange is currently detained.\n\nThey made a call for EU states to offer him asylum and prevent his extradition to the US.\n\nMs Dagdelen, who is a member of The Left party, said the EU should \"take action\" to protect the \"persecuted political publisher and journalist\".\n\nEcuador's president also made references to Assange's apparently poor hygiene following allegations made by Ecuador's Interior Minister, Maria Paula Romo.\n\nAssange's lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, disputed the claims when she appeared on Sky's Sophy Ridge On Sunday.\n\n\"I think the first thing to say is Ecuador has been making some pretty outrageous allegations over the past few days to justify what was an unlawful and extraordinary act in allowing British police to come inside an embassy,\" she said.\n\nShe added that Assange's fears of a US extradition threat had proved correct this week.\n\nAssange is expected to fight extradition to the US over an allegation that he had conspired with former army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to break into a classified government computer.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It is swollen with the dark aftermath of the collapsed pseudo-caliphate. It is ready to burst.\n\nUmm Usma says she has no need to apologise for the 2016 IS attack in Brussels in which 32 people - not including the bombers - were killed. In her mind, an attack against her country by the group she joined doesn't need to be answered. She has cloaked herself in victimhood. She believes the West and its air strikes against the last IS hold-out of Baghouz are to blame for their misery. The hate and violence perpetrated by IS are forgotten.\n\nThis is the jihadist mind-trick, a selective memory that erases any wrongdoing.\n\n\"I won't talk about what my husband did, I don't know what he did,\" Umm Usma claims. She has lived under democracy and under IS. She tells me she knows which one is better. \"Your mind is closed,\" she says as she turns her back and walks away.\n\nIt is only two weeks since Baghouz, the last of IS-governed territory, fell to Kurdish-led forces. The Kurds had taken their time, allowing ceasefire after ceasefire so that women, children and the injured could leave. The coalition warplanes that killed civilians in Mosul and Raqqa, IS's two lost capitals, were more cautious over Baghouz.\n\nIS used its families as a last line of defence.\n\n\"In one day, at least 2,000 people were killed,\" one Iraqi boy, who survived the combat, tells me. \"IS parked vehicles among the tents of families. We knew that vehicles were targeted, so we told them to take the vehicles away. But they didn't, and the vehicles exploded.\"\n\nWhen the fighting was over, Baghouz was cleared of corpses before the media arrived.\n\nThe men of IS were not just soldiers on a battlefield. They brought with them women, children and extended families.\n\nNour is a victim of their catastrophe. She lies on an examination bed in the camp's Red Crescent clinic. The six-year-old has been shot in the face. That was 15 days ago, and since then she's only been given the barest of medical attention. Her cheeks are swollen and her teeth shattered. The pain appears to be something she's become accustomed to, because she only screams when she's moved.\n\nIt was a sniper's round that came through the tent in Baghouz. She was hiding out there with her family, part of an army of hardcore believers who stayed with IS to the end.\n\nIn al-Hol, many of the war wounded are children. Nour's mother, from Turkmenistan, is too sick to stand. She curls on her side, beside Nour, teetering on the edge of the bed. Her IS fighter husband is already dead.\n\nNour's condition needs urgent attention and she is sent to a hospital in the city of Hassakeh. Now the clinic bed is emptied and a new occupant is placed on its black leather surface.\n\nBut Asma is barely there at all: she's a faint speck of a human being, almost transparent. Too weak to cry much, she looks only days old. She is, in fact, six months old. Her sister, a girl herself, stands above her, eyes cast down. As IS fought to the last, their families starved.\n\nSome 169 children have died since escaping Baghouz - children who did no wrong. Those that remain are at risk from sickness and disease. And there is a greater danger that Western governments appear to have ignored. They are still in the care of extremist parents, and their malice isn't being countered or re-educated - it is being left to fester.\n\nThose that survived IS were brought in open cattle trucks, across the desert in their tens of thousands to al-Hol. The village by the camp is where IS once sold Yazidi women as slaves. Not far from here, hundreds of Kurdish-led forces were killed in a single IS attack. The two-storey school in the village still has the IS flag painted across it. The spring rains and summer sun are fading it to nothing.\n\nThe campsite is at the village edge: a mini-state, a displaced caliphate, a growing danger that is now larger than the village itself.\n\nWhat remains inside, no-one wants. A few governments have taken people back: Russia, Saudi Arabia and Morocco. The United States has taken back a single woman. The UK has no plan to repatriate fighters or their families. Al-Hol is the camp where Shamima Begum, the teenager from London, was first held and where she learned she had been stripped of her British citizenship. France has taken back a handful of orphans whose parents died fighting for IS.\n\nThere are degrees of radicalisation, and the immediate aftermath of a war is no place to judge who can be reformed, who can be saved.\n\nThe foreign women in the camp are kept separately, under armed guard. Here the ideology is at its most toxic. This is where the true believers are contained. A guard outside points to his bruised head. \"They threw rocks at us yesterday,\" he says.\n\nBy the entrance, a bag of raw chicken pieces lies tied up in the dirt. Women are pressed up against the chain-link fence, demanding to be let out. They are from everywhere: Brazil, Germany, France, Morocco, Somalia, the list goes on.\n\nThe western women are wary of speaking inside. They fear being attacked by the more radical women in the camp, if they are seen speaking to a man. If they remove their veils, they are set upon by some of the women. Tents have been burned to the ground in retribution.\n\n\"The Tunisian and Russian women are the worst,\" says 19-year-old Leonora Messing from Germany. She points to two large communal tents. \"They were last to come out from Baghouz.\"\n\nMessing joined IS at the age of 15, a month after another 15-year-old, Shamima Begum, and her friends fled Britain for Syria. Messing became the third wife of a German extremist who is now, too, in Kurdish custody.\n\nThe German woman is full of regret, born not only of circumstance, but regret, she says, that long predates the defeat of IS.\n\n\"I was a half-year in Isis and I asked my father if he can help me to send a smuggler to bring me out. They sent a smuggler but security from Isis, they killed him. And then they catch me also because they find pictures of me on his phone. And then I was locked up first time in prison [in Raqqa] and then a second time in [the village of] Shaafa,\" she explains.\n\nIn her arms, she cradles a two-month-old, wrinkle-faced baby, her second child, born in Baghouz as the fighting raged all around them.\n\n\"I gave birth alone. There was no doctors, no nurses\", she says, \"I sent my husband out. I sent him. I was crying. You know how woman have faith. I said you search. He said there is nobody. I said GO SEARCH.\"\n\nShe still loves her extremist husband and says she will wait for him if he is sent back to Germany to serve a prison sentence.\n\nShe talks about the death of Shamima Begum's son, who was born in the camp, and died just 20 days later. Both of her own children have been sick, but she says she has reason to believe they will be safe.\n\nOur second meeting is cut short. Leonora Messing has an appointment. A convoy of armoured-vehicles, protected by armed men arrives, with Westerners inside. \"The German government wants to check on my children,\" Messing said.\n\nBritain's foreign secretary has said it is too dangerous for UK diplomats to travel to Syria, a place where, like Germany, it has no consulates or embassies. There is still no plan to repatriate women and children, many of whose husbands have been killed or stripped of their UK citizenship.\n\nAs rain clouds swirl and thicken above, two gangly young women march across the muddy ground with purpose, heading straight for my Syrian colleague and me. The camp smells bad, there isn't proper sanitation and the rain isn't helping. One of the pair is carrying, incongruously, a patent leather handbag, with a little diamanté clasp. Through their veils I see what looks like the eyes of teenage girls.\n\n\"Where are our husbands? When will they be released?\" they demand, but without much menace. When my colleague shrugs his shoulders, one of the women says, \"ask him,\" pointing at me with a black-gloved hand. A giggle emerges from under the other black dresses.\n\nThey may have their answers in the coming days, as Iraq, too, prepares to take back its people. The high-value prisoners will go first and will almost certainly be executed, and their women and children will follow to Iraq. Camps are already being prepared, not very far from al-Hol, on the Iraqi side of the border.\n\nThat will alleviate pressure at the camp, but it will not solve the enduring question that al-Hol presents the West: how much mercy should be shown to an enemy that offered none? And, what is to become of their women and children now that IS is gone?", "An emu has been caught on camera sprinting along a road in the Scottish Highlands.\n\nThe bird can be seen running away from traffic on the A82 outside Fort Augustus.\n\nIt has reportedly been returned safely to its home.", "The World Health Organization says the latest figures paint \"an alarming picture\"\n\nThe number of measles cases reported worldwide in the first three months of 2019 has quadrupled compared with the same time last year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).\n\nThe UN body said provisional data indicated a \"a clear trend\", with all regions of the world seeing outbreaks.\n\nAfrica had witnessed the most dramatic rise - up 700%.\n\nThe agency said actual numbers may be far greater, since only one in 10 cases globally are reported.\n\nMeasles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious health complications, including infections of the lungs and brain.\n\nUkraine, Madagascar and India have been worst affected by the disease, with tens of thousands of reported cases per million people.\n\nSince September, at least 800 people have died from measles in Madagascar alone.\n\nOutbreaks have also hit Brazil, Pakistan and Yemen, \"causing many deaths - mostly among young children\", while a spike in case numbers was reported for countries including the US and Thailand with high levels of vaccination coverage.\n\nIn total, some 170 countries reported 112,163 measles cases to WHO, in comparison to 28,124 cases across 163 countries during the same period in 2018.\n\nThe UN says the disease is \"entirely preventable\" with the right vaccines, but global coverage of the first immunisation stage has \"stalled\" at 85%, \"still short of the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks\".\n\nIn an opinion piece for CNN, WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and UNICEF head Henrietta Fore said the world was \"in the middle of a measles crisis\" and that \"the proliferation of confusing and contradictory information\" about vaccines was partly to blame.\n\nIt is one of the most contagious viruses around. However, nothing about measles has changed. It has not mutated to become more infectious or more dangerous. Instead the answers are entirely human.\n\nThere are two stories here - one of poverty and one of misinformation. In poorer countries fewer people are vaccinated and a larger portion of the population is left vulnerable to the virus.\n\nThis creates the environment for a large outbreak to occur - such as those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan and Madagascar.\n\nBut rich countries with seemingly high vaccination rates are seeing cases spike too. This is because clusters of people are choosing not to vaccinate their children due to the spread of untrue anti-vax messages on social media.\n\nIt is worth noting these figures are provisional, the WHO says the true figures will be much higher. And that measles is far from harmless.

They submit a fake invoice containing the fraudster's bank details and it is often not easy to spot that they are not the legitimate payee.\n\n\"The vast majority of fraud claims across UK banking are from innocent victims of fraud who have been targeted by criminals and organised gangs.\n\n\"However, all too often these customers must fight to be refunded and are not treated as victims of crime,\" said TSB executive chairman Richard Meddings.\n\nTSB said its guarantee - which applies to losses from 14 April - marked a \"step change\" in the industry, where currently customers were only refunded for fraud losses in limited circumstances.\n\nUnder the guarantee, customers will need to contact the bank to report fraud and it will still investigate the fraud claim, including what happened and how, so it can inform customers and ensure they are protected from future fraud.\n\nThe bank, which has 5.2 million customers, warned it would not reimburse customers who tried to abuse the guarantee by committing fraud on their own account or by repeatedly ignoring safety advice.\n\nLast month, banks and building societies agreed to do more to protect customers, introducing a new voluntary code which comes into effect on 28 May.\n\nBut consumer watchdog Which? said banks needed to do more.\n\n\"Other High Street banks are leaving their customers unprotected.

Some British groups had a minor amount of ancestry from groups that followed the Danube route.\n\nA facial reconstruction of Whitehawk Woman, a 5,600-year-old Neolithic woman from Sussex. The reconstruction is on show at the Royal Pavilion & Museum in Brighton\n\nWhen the researchers analysed the DNA of early British farmers, they found they most closely resembled Neolithic people from Iberia (modern Spain and Portugal). These Iberian farmers were descended from people who had journeyed across the Mediterranean.\n\nFrom Iberia, or somewhere close, the Mediterranean farmers travelled north through France. They might have entered Britain from the west, through Wales or south-west England. Indeed, radiocarbon dates suggest that Neolithic people arrived marginally earlier in the west, but this remains a topic for future work.\n\nIn addition to farming, the Neolithic migrants to Britain appear to have introduced the tradition of building monuments using large stones known as megaliths. Stonehenge in Wiltshire was part of this tradition.\n\nAlthough Britain was inhabited by groups of \"western hunter-gatherers\" when the farmers arrived in about 4,000BC, DNA shows that the two groups did not mix very much at all.\n\nThe British hunter-gatherers were almost completely replaced by the Neolithic farmers, apart from one group in western Scotland, where the Neolithic inhabitants had elevated local ancestry. This could have come down to the farmer groups simply having greater numbers.\n\n\"We don't find any detectable evidence at all for the local British western hunter-gatherer ancestry in the Neolithic farmers after they arrive,\" said co-author Dr Tom Booth, a specialist in ancient DNA from the Natural History Museum in London.\n\n\"That doesn't mean they don't mix at all, it just means that maybe their population sizes were too small to have left any kind of genetic legacy.\"\n\nCo-author Professor Mark Thomas, from UCL, said he also favoured \"a numbers game explanation\".\n\nA reconstruction of Cheddar Man. As with other Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, DNA results suggest he had dark skin and blue or green eyes\n\nProfessor Thomas said the Neolithic farmers had probably had to adapt their practices to different climatic conditions as they moved across Europe. But by the time they reached Britain they were already \"tooled up\" and well-prepared for growing crops in a north-west European climate.\n\nThe study also analysed DNA from these British hunter-gatherers. One of the skeletons analysed was that of Cheddar Man, whose skeletal remains have been dated to 7,100BC.\n\nHe was the subject of a reconstruction unveiled at the Natural History Museum last year. DNA suggests that, like most other European hunter-gatherers of the time, he had dark skin combined with blue eyes.\n\nGenetic analysis shows that the Neolithic farmers, by contrast, were paler-skinned with brown eyes and black or dark-brown hair.\n\nTowards the end of the Neolithic, in about 2,450BC, the descendants of the first farmers were themselves almost entirely replaced when a new population - called the Bell Beaker people - migrated from mainland Europe. So Britain saw two extreme genetic shifts in the space of a few thousand years.\n\nProf Thomas said that this later event happened after the Neolithic population had been in decline for some time, both in Britain and across Europe. He cautioned against simplistic explanations invoking conflict, and said the shifts ultimately came down to \"economic\" factors, about which lifestyles were best suited to exploit the landscape.\n\nDr Booth explained: \"It's difficult to see whether the two [genetic shifts] could have anything in common - they're two very different kinds of change. There's speculation that they're to some extent population collapses. But the reasons suggested for those two collapses are different, so it could just be coincidence.\"", "Legal aid is the money provided by the government to cover legal costs for people who can't afford them.\n\nThere have been considerable falls in spending on legal aid since 2010, as the chart above shows.\n\nThe situations are somewhat different in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland but in general, to get legal aid you have to show that the situation is serious and you can't afford to pay yourself.\n\nAs long as the proceedings you are involved in are taking place in the UK, whether you are actually in the UK yourself makes no difference to your eligibility.\n\nThe first question is whether you are involved in a civil or criminal case.\n\nCriminal cases are generally those in which somebody has been arrested by police, and then a decision has been taken by the Crown Prosecution Service to take them to court.\n\nAnybody who has been arrested is entitled to legal advice at the police station, which is paid for by legal aid.\n\nIf the case moves on to a court, any defendant under 18 or who is receiving certain benefits such as universal credit or income support, is automatically entitled to legal aid.\n\nOther people need to go through a means test, which will take into account the applicant's income and savings as well as their household's - for example, whether they have a partner who is earning anything and whether they have children under 18.\n\nIt will also depend on which court is hearing their case - less serious offences tend to be decided by a magistrates' court, while more serious ones go to the Crown Court.\n\nTo qualify for legal aid there is also an Interests of Justice (IoJ) test, which depends on the seriousness of the crime involved. Cases going to Crown Court automatically pass the IoJ test.\n\nYou're more likely to get legal aid if there is a chance you could lose your livelihood or liberty, if you lose the case.\n\nPeople with more than a certain level of income or savings may have to pay some or all of their legal costs.\n\nCivil cases involve other matters that could end up in a court or tribunal, such as family matters, debt or housing problems.\n\nTo get legal aid for a civil case you have to demonstrate that the problem you are dealing with is serious - not all civil cases are eligible for legal aid - and that you can't afford to pay for it yourself.\n\nAgain, the decision will be based on your income and savings and your household's. If you are under 18, it will also consider the income of your parents.\n\nEven if you do get legal aid, you may have to repay your legal costs if you win money or property from the case.\n\nLegal aid is not means-tested for cases involving a mental health tribunal, children in care or child abduction.\n• None Could barristers earn more working in McDonald's?", "Tiger Woods says his Masters triumph is \"right up there\" with his greatest achievements, having faced \"serious doubts\" he would ever contend again.\n\nWoods, 43, won a fifth Green Jacket at Augusta National on Sunday, his first major win in 11 years and a first since having four operations on his back.\n\nThe 15-time major winner said he \"could barely walk\" before surgery and his children had seen golf cause \"pain\".\n\n\"We're creating new memories for them and it's just very special,\" he said.\n\n\"I was very lucky to be given another chance to do something that I love to do.

But neither was I and neither were other women who are being killed right now back in Baghuz.\"\n\nWhen it was suggested that her going to Syria might have been a \"propaganda victory\" for IS, Ms Begum said: \"I did hear a lot of people were encouraged to come after, but I wasn't the one who put myself on the news.\"\n\nShe added: \"The poster girl thing was not my choice.\"\n\nMs Begum said she made the choice to go to Syria and could make her own decisions, despite being only 15 at the time. She said she was partly inspired by videos of fighters beheading hostages and also by videos showing \"the good life\" under IS.\n\nShe watched videos of the murders of British hostages, she told the BBC, but said she did not know the names of any of the victims.\n\nOur correspondent said that \"throughout the interview, Shamima Begum continued to espouse Islamic State philosophy.\" He added: \"When I asked her about the enslavement, murder and rape of Yazidi women by IS, she said 'Shia do the same in Iraq'.\"\n\nBut she said: \"I just want forgiveness really, from the UK.

Kadiza is thought to have died when a house was blown up, and the fate of Amira is unknown.\n\nMr Akunjee also called for an \"urgent inquiry\" into how Ms Begum and the other schoolgirls were able to travel to Syria.\n\nKadiza Sultana, Amira Abase and Shamima Begum (l-r) in photos issued by police\n\nPreviously, Ms Begum said she escaped from Baghuz, Islamic State's last stronghold in eastern Syria, two weeks ago.\n\nHer husband, a Dutch convert to Islam, is thought to have surrendered to a group of Syrian fighters.\n\nUnder international law, the UK is obliged to let a Briton without the claim to another nationality return home.\n\nBut the government does not have consular staff in Syria, and says it will not risk any lives to help Britons who have joined a banned terrorist group.\n\nIf Ms Begum is able to reach a British consulate in a recognised country, it is thought security chiefs could \"manage\" her return.", "The Red Cross is seeking information about three staff members abducted in Syria five and a half years ago.\n\nIn its first detailed statement on the incident, it says Louisa Akavi, Alaa Rajab and Nabil Bakdounes were seized in October 2013 while travelling to Idlib province in north-western Syria.\n\nMs Akavi was held by the Islamic State (IS) group and there is evidence she was alive in late 2018, the Red Cross says.\n\nThe fate of Mr Rajab and Mr Bakdounes is not known.\n\nMs Akavi, a citizen of New Zealand, is a 62-year-old nurse who has carried out 17 field missions. Alaa Rajab and Nabil Bakdounes, both Syrian nationals, worked as drivers who delivered humanitarian assistance in the country.\n\nNew Zealand says that a special forces team has been trying to locate Ms Akavi.\n\n\"This has involved members of the NZDF [New Zealand Defence Force] drawn from the Special Operations Force, and personnel have visited Syria from time to time as required,\" said Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters.\n\n\"This non-combat team was specifically focused on locating Louisa and identifying opportunities to recover her.\"\n\nLouisa Akavi has been held by the Islamic State group\n\nHe said there were \"a number of operational or intelligence matters the government won't be commenting on\".\n\nThe International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) broke years of silence on the case when it went public with Ms Akavi's name, but New Zealand's prime minister said she believes the nurse should not have been identified.\n\nJacinda Ardern refused to take questions on the case at her weekly news conference on Monday. \"It absolutely remains the government's view that it would be preferable if this case was not in the public domain,\" she said.\n\nThere are increased concerns for Ms Akavi's safety following the fall of the last territory held by IS near the Iraqi border last month.\n\n\"The past five and a half years have been an extremely difficult time for the families of our three abducted colleagues. Louisa is a true and compassionate humanitarian. Alaa and Nabil were committed colleagues and an integral part of our aid deliveries,\" said Dominik Stillhart, the ICRC's director of operations.\n\n\"We call on anyone with information to please come forward. If our colleagues are still being held, we call for their immediate and unconditional release.\"\n\n\"We are speaking out today to publicly honour and acknowledge Louisa's, Alaa's, and Nabil's hardship and suffering. We also want our three colleagues to know that we've always continued to search for them and we are still trying our hardest to find them. We are looking forward to the day we can see them again,\" Mr Stillhart added.\n\nMs Akavi spoke of her work in a 2010 interview for a New Zealand newspaper. \"It does become a little bit hard, but it is the small things. It's working with the national staff who do the best they can,\" she said.\n\nLouisa Akavi is a veteran of conflict zones who has worked in Bosnia, Somalia, and Afghanistan. She survived the 1996 attack on the Red Cross compound in Chechnya, in which six colleagues were killed.\n\nIn 1999 she was awarded the Florence Nightingale Medal for services to nursing.\n\nThe ICRC, which has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to find her and the two Syrian staff members abducted with her, knows that she spent time in Raqqa, and that she was alive at the end of last year.\n\nRefugees fleeing the last strongholds of Islamic State report seeing her, still working as a nurse.

Maurizio Sarri's side could also be overtaken by sixth-placed Arsenal, who are three points behind them, when they face Watford on Monday.\n\nSalah, who played for Chelsea when they beat Liverpool in that infamous game in 2014, was the hosts' most dangerous outlet, and could have given them an early lead when his back-post volley was well saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga.\n\nThe Egyptian, who was cheered even more loudly than usual by the Kop after being the subject of discriminatory abuse in a video posted by Chelsea fans last week, also squared to Mane seven minutes before half-time but the Senegalese forward curled wide from 10 yards out.\n\nIt looked like it might be a frustrating afternoon for Salah, who was well marshalled by Chelsea left-back Emerson in the first half. But Liverpool's talisman showed his tenacity to win the ball back before Jordan Henderson clipped across the six-yard box to find Mane for the game's opener.\n\nAnd the shot that doubled the hosts' lead will live long in the memory as one of Anfield's great goals. Not only was it sublime in its execution, but it was hugely significant in the title race, showing Liverpool are not the same side as five years ago.\n\nComing on the day the club marked the 30th anniversary of Hillsborough, the victory gave home fans a huge lift on an emotional afternoon.\n\nDespite their long unbeaten run at Anfield, the defeat continued Chelsea's poor run of form away from Stamford Bridge this season under Sarri. They have now lost seven away games this season.\n\nAfter defending resolutely in the first half, the game could have swung their way had Willian not skewed wide from a quick attack and Hazard done better from a tight angle before the break.\n\nBut as in their 2-0 defeat at Everton last month, when the home team also scored shortly after half-time, Chelsea could not respond. Hazard, who scored the winner in the Carabao Cup tie at Anfield earlier in the season, came closest to replying but his shot cannoned back off the post.\n\nIt is a loss that dents their hopes of reaching next season's Champions League via the top four - although they could still reach it via the Europa League. Chelsea hold a 1-0 lead over Slavia Prague going into the second leg of their quarter-final next Thursday.\n\n'It's very overwhelming' - what they said\n\nLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BBC Sport: \"I'm so proud of the team, it was a fantastic performance.

It's just outstanding, very overwhelming at times.\n\n\"Well done, really well done, now let's prepare for Porto, Cardiff and whatever comes.\"\n\nOn the title race: \"The first question in the meeting today was 'what is the City score?' You cannot avoid knowing about it. But it isn't interesting to us.\n\n\"We expect them to win all their games so we just need to get as many points as possible and if we're champions then great but if not it is still a really good football team.\"\n\nChelsea boss Maurizio Sarri speaking to BBC Sport: \"I think we played very well in the first half, we defended very well. We conceded nothing.\n\n\"I am happy with the performance, because in my opinion we played a good match against a very good, strong opponent.\n\n\"I think now we are going the right way, we are improving, because three months ago we weren't able to stay in this kind of match but today we played well.\n\n\"And then we were unlucky after the second goal because we reacted very well and had three goal opportunities in three minutes.\"\n\nChelsea's poor run at the big six continues - the stats\n• None Liverpool registered only their third win over Chelsea in their past 17 meetings in all competitions (W3 D8 L6) and their first at Anfield since a 4-1 win in the Premier League in May 2012.\n• None Chelsea have lost their past six away Premier League matches against fellow 'big six' opponents, conceding 16 goals across those defeats.\n• None This was Liverpool's 26th Premier League victory of the season, equalling their record from the 2013-14 campaign under Brendan Rodgers.

Millions of people in the UK are given statins for this reason.\n\nBut statins can cause side effects and there is a debate about how many patients should be prescribed them.\n\nThe study, published in the journal Heart, included 165,411 patients who had been put on statins to cut their risk of developing heart disease by lowering their cholesterol to a healthy level.\n\nHalf of the patients - 84,609 in total - did not see their cholesterol go down by enough - the required 40% or more reduction specified by guidelines - even after being on the daily treatment for two years.\n\nExperts say the study findings are somewhat limited because they cannot prove that patients who do not respond well to statins will necessarily fare worse as a consequence. Other factors - like smoking and obesity - also raise cardiovascular risk.\n\nBut the work does provide \"real life\" data and experience to draw on.\n\nResearcher Dr Stephen Weng, from Nottingham University, said: \"Our research has shown that in almost half of patients prescribed statins, they are very effective and offer significant protection against cardiovascular disease.\n\n\"However, for the other half - whether it's due to your genetic make-up, having side effects, sticking to the treatment or other medications - we don't see that intended benefit.\"\n\nIn the study, a higher proportion of patients with a sub-optimal response to statins were prescribed lower potency doses, compared with those with an optimal response.\n\nHe said: \"We have to develop better ways to understand differences between patients and how we can tailor more effective treatment for those millions of patients who are simply blanket-prescribed statins.\"\n\nProf Metin Avkiran, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, advised: \"Statins are an important and proven treatment for lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.\n\n\"If you have been prescribed statins, you should continue to take them regularly, as prescribed. If you have any concerns you should discuss your medication with your GP. There are now other drugs available to help lower cholesterol levels, and it may be that another type of medication will be an effective addition or alternative for you.\"\n\nProf Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, said: \"When we prescribe medication, we have to rely on patients to make sure that they take it, both at the recommended dose and for the duration of time that we think will benefit them most.\n\n\"There is a substantial body of research showing that statins are safe and effective drugs for most people, and can reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke, when prescribed appropriately - but controversy remains around their widespread use and their potential side-effects.\n\n\"There are complex reasons why patients choose not to take their prescribed medication, and mixed messaging around statins could be one of these.\"\n• None More over-75s 'should take statins'\n• None Reality Check: Who should take statins?\n• None Are statins the best choice for me?

There wasn't enough data in people over the age of 75 who haven't had it to show a benefit. Experts have called for more data to guide prescription for these people.\n\nHowever, the authors said even a smaller reduction in risk was significant because the elderly have a higher baseline risk for cardiovascular disease in the first place.\n\nThe more people reduced their low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or \"bad\" cholesterol, the more the risk of cardiovascular disease was lowered, the study found.\n\nA 1.0 mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol lowered the risk of major vascular events by about a fifth and a major coronary event by a quarter, when results from all age groups were combined.\n\nTo put this into perspective, about 2.5% of 63-year-olds with no history of vascular disease would be expected to have their first major vascular event per year, compared with 4% of 78-year-olds.\n\nReducing those risks by a fifth would prevent first major vascular events from occurring each year in 50 people aged 63 and 80 people aged 78 per 10,000 people treated.\n\nProf Baigent said there was an argument for giving statins to people over the age of 75 who have a \"normal\" level of LDL cholesterol.\n\nHe said: \"In many circumstances, the person may be very healthy, they may be able to avoid having a stroke or having a heart attack simply by taking a cheap and safe tablet every day.\n\n\"That may be a choice they're willing to take. At the moment I feel we're not taking the opportunity to offer that.\"\n\nThere has been controversy about statin side effects and how often they are prescribed, especially in otherwise healthy people.\n\nIt is possible to lower cholesterol levels without drugs by making lifestyle changes, such as by cutting down on saturated fat and eating more fruit, vegetables and fibre.\n\nProf Baigent said side effects were \"massively outweighed, both in middle age and the elderly, by the benefits of statin therapy that we already know about\".\n\nAnd he also said he was not calling for people to pick statins over exercise and lifestyle changes.\n\n\"I think it's not an either/or,\" he added.\n\nThe Royal College of GPs welcomed the research and said it was \"particularly reassuring\" to see evidence of the benefit of statins in over-75s.\n\nProf Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the college, said some patients would not want to be on long-term medication.\n\n\"But GPs are highly trained to prescribe and will only recommend the drugs if they think they will genuinely help the person sitting in front of them, based on their individual circumstances - and after a frank conversation about the potential risks and benefits.\"", "Samsung has announced that its folding smartphone will go sale in April, beating a rival device by Huawei to the market.\n\nThe BBC's Chris Fox went hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Fold to find out what the unusual device can do - and whether it can live up to its enormous price tag.", "After three years of renovation, French Queen Marie Antoinette's apartments are to reopen to the public at the Chateau of Versailles.\n\nThe rooms were used by the queen for sleeping and receiving guests.", "Sana Muhammad, formerly known as Devi Unmathallegadoo, had been eight months pregnant\n\nA man who killed his pregnant ex-wife with a crossbow had only intended to confront her new husband about how he was raising his daughter, a jury heard.\n\nRamanodge Unmathallegadoo shot Sana Muhammad at her home in Ilford, east London, in November.\n\nThe 51-year-old told the Old Bailey he took two crossbows and a knife into the house as a \"deterrent\" but then accidentally shot his former partner.\n\nHe denies murder and the attempted destruction of the baby.\n\nMs Muhammad died after she was shot through the abdomen, but her unborn son was delivered by emergency caesarean section and survived.\n\nRamanodge Unmathallegadoo was arrested at the house where Sana Muhammad was shot\n\nGiving evidence, Mr Unmathallegadoo said he wanted to confront her new husband Imtiaz Muhammad \"over the treatment my daughter was going through.\"\n\nHe told the court the 12-year-old was forced \"to pray in the Islamic faith and she didn't want to\".\n\n\"She was forced to eat halal food and she was forced to wear non-European clothes,\" while also being prevented from celebrating Halloween and Christmas, he said.\n\nThe jury heard the 51-year-old was barred from contacting his children because of a restraining order, but he spoke to her on the way to school and \"could sense her saying 'Daddy help'\".\n\nThe night before the killing, Mr Unmathallegadoo spent more than two hours moving equipment into the garden shed where he then slept, the Old Bailey was told.\n\nAsked why he did not just knock on the door, he said he \"couldn't\" as he was \"scared of Imtiaz\", who he described as a \"big man\".\n\nMr Unmathallegadoo told the court he accidentally shot the crossbow inside the house\n\nMr Unmathallegadoo said Mr and Mrs Muhammad had run upstairs when he accidentally fired the crossbow.\n\nHe told the court the safety catch had been off as he planned to shoot into the banister rail to scare the couple, and only realised he had hit anyone when one of the children called the emergency services.\n\nThe 51-year-old denied he had been stockpiling weapons, but instead had planned to take them to his native Mauritius so he could go hunting with his brother.\n\nHowever, during cross-examination he admitted he had not checked how much it would cost to post the items abroad, or whether the retailers could have sent them directly.\n\nMr Unmathallegadoo also said it was \"absolutely incorrect\" that a handwritten note detailing the family's comings and goings had been created so he knew when his children would not be at home during an attack.\n\nHe told the court he had actually written it so that he would know when he might bump into his children as they went to school.\n\nSpeaking about his former partner, he said he felt \"really, really distressed at the thought that she got hurt because of me\".\n• None Ex-wife 'shot with crossbow as she fled'\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Online retail giant Amazon's website is flooded with fake five-star reviews for products from unfamiliar brands, consumer group Which?

not that there will definitely be a conviction.\n\nReferring to expert conclusions provided in November 2012, he said: \"Had the decision been taken at that time it seems inevitable in light of the scientific evidence and the legal advice that the director must have concluded that the test for prosecution was then satisfied.\"\n\nRuling that the director imposed too stringent a test, the judge continued: \"We consider that the reasoning leading to the impugned decision not to prosecute is irredeemably flawed.\n\n\"In particular, the decision of the director is founded on an unreasonable and rationally unsustainable hypothesis which is inconsistent with the case made by the soldier.\"\n\nDaniel, a labourer, was unarmed when he was shot close to his home in Creggan during Operation Motorman, an army-mounted attempt to re-take no-go areas of Derry.\n\nHis cousin Christopher, 16, was also shot in the head by the same soldier, but survived.\n• None Family fight on for justice after death", "Police said Frankie Macritchie had been on his own in a caravan when the attack happened\n\nPsychologists are supporting school friends of a nine-year-old boy killed in a holiday park dog attack.\n\nA team is helping pupils at Riverside Primary School in Barne Barton, Plymouth, where Frankie Macritchie was a pupil.\n\nFrankie died after being attacked by a dog at a Cornwall caravan park on Saturday.\n\nFlowers and messages have been left at the school\n\nHe said the school was doing \"all we can to support those pupils and parents that have been touched by this terrible incident\" with help from an educational psychology team.\n\nFrankie \"always had a grin on his face and a twinkle in his eyes\", he said.\n\n\"Our thoughts and condolences go out to family and friends.\"\n\nFrankie, from Plymouth, died at Tencreek Holiday Park, Looe, after being attacked by a \"bulldog-type dog\" said police.\n\nCaravans were cordoned off at the site\n\nFrankie had been left alone in a caravan while adults were in an adjoining caravan, they said.\n\nPolice were called to the holiday park at 05:00 BST on Saturday and found Frankie \"unresponsive\".\n\nA woman described by police as a family friend was later arrested at a railway station near Plymouth.\n\nThe 28-year-old, held on suspicion of manslaughter and having a dog dangerously out of control, has since been released.\n\nThe dog was transferred to kennels, where it remains.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "This video can not be played.", "Jodie Chesney, 17, was stabbed to death in a park in east London in March\n\nA murder detective believes he has found a way of forecasting where deadly knife attacks are likely to take place.\n\nDet Ch Insp John Massey trawled through records of knife crimes in London over a 12-month period and found a link with fatal stabbings the following year.\n\nMore than two-thirds of the killings in 2017-18 occurred in neighbourhoods where someone had been attacked with a knife the year before.\n\nThe study is believed to be one of the first to show such a clear correlation.\n\nIn one area, around Tanfield Avenue in Neasden, there were eight knife attacks in the 12 months to the end of March 2017 - followed by the fatal stabbing in October of that year of 18-year-old Saif Abdul Magid.\n\nTwo boys, aged 14, were found guilty of his murder, which police said was the result of a simmering dispute.\n\nThe research, carried out alongside University of Cambridge criminologists, found that during 2016-17 the Metropolitan Police recorded 3,506 assaults with a knife where the location of the attack had been identified.\n\nThe stabbings took place in 2,048 of London's 4,835 local census areas - neighbourhoods with a population of about 1,700, which are smaller than council wards.\n\nThe areas of the stabbings were then compared to the known locations of 97 fatal knife attacks in 2017-18.\n\nResults showed 67 of the killings - 69% - occurred where there had been at least one stabbing the previous year.\n\nMr Massey said: \"These findings indicate that officers can be deployed in a smaller number of areas in the knowledge that they will have the best chances there to prevent knife-enabled homicides.\"\n\nProf Lawrence Sherman, who co-authored the study, said although solely focusing on knife crime hot-spots was not a \"panacea\" because many killings happened in areas untouched by stabbings, targeting resources made sense.\n\n\"If assault data forecasts that a neighbourhood is more likely to experience knife homicide, police commanders might consider everything from closer monitoring of school exclusions to localised use of stop-and-search,\" he said.\n\nBut Prof Sherman warned forces needed to improve their data collection processes to distinguish between arrests for carrying or making threats with knives and stabbings.\n\n\"The current definition of knife crime is too broad to be useful,\" he said.\n\n\"Police IT is in urgent need of refinement - instead of just keeping case records for legal uses, the systems should be designed to detect crime patterns for prioritising targets.\n\n\"We need to transform IT from electronic filing cabinets into a daily crime forecasting tool.\"\n\nThe study, published in the Cambridge Journal of Evidence-Based Policing, also found 21% of the 590 fatal stabbings in London over a 10-year period were flagged by police as involving gangs.\n\nThe researchers said the figures \"contradict a widespread view that knife-enabled homicides are primarily gang-related\", though in 2017-18 the proportion rose to 29%.\n\nIn response, Cdr David Musker said the Met was \"always open to reviewing and utilising emerging academic research\" and that it supported the Met's own current research.\n\nHe added: \"Any research that can help inform both the short and long-term response to violence is very welcome.\n\n\"We already conduct high-visibility patrols within high-demand areas and hotspots and proactively police high-risk suspects and known offenders as part of our daily policing plans; we also use predictive analytics and mapping to target our patrols and make best use of our resource, prioritising the greatest areas of threat, risk and harm.\n\n\"This is something that the Met, and colleagues across the country, have been developing and utilising to great effect for a number of years.\"\n\nHome Secretary Sajid Javid is due to outline his plans for tackling violent crime in a speech on Monday morning.\n\nMr Javid is expected to say the \"mindset\" of government \"needs to shift\" to combat the issue -

who is not an enthusiast for a public vote - believe this would fall.\n\nBut some of the Labour leader's shadow ministers - including some who are firmly on the Left - are pushing for a referendum, or confirmatory ballot, to be tied explicitly to any Brexit deal.\n\nSo, getting a deal passed would be totally dependent on approving a public vote at the same time.\n\nI am told shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is pressing for a ballot to be part of any final package.\n\nIf, in the end, these difficulties can't be overcome then the hope is that both sides will at least agree a parliamentary process for discussing and voting on options which might finally break the deadlock.", "The report calls for more funds to be generated locally through an overhaul of the property tax system\n\nA new system of property tax and environmental charges should be introduced to boost Scottish council funding, according to a report.\n\nThe joint paper from Unison and the Jimmy Reid Foundation calls for a \"fundamental review\" of funding.\n\nIt recommends moving towards a \"more progressive\" system which would shift the burden onto property and land owners rather than council taxpayers.\n\nThe Scottish government said its own reforms would \"empower\" councils.\n\nMike Kirby, Scottish secretary of Unison, said the balance of funding for local services had changed over the years.\n\nHe said that approximately 50% of the funding used to come from national government, with 50% raised directly by local authorities.\n\nHowever, he said 85% of funding now came from central government and 15% was raised directly by local authorities.\n\n\"Together with an overall reduction in funding, during a period of austerity, this has resulted in severe financial pressures and impacted upon the quality and delivery of vital public services,\" he said.\n\n\"Politicians in all spheres must create the time and space for a fundamental review of funding local government.\n\n\"This report is a contribution to that essential debate.\"\n\nProf Mike Danson, lead author of the report, added: \"Within the constraints of the fiscal powers devolved under successive Scotland Acts, there are still some opportunities to generate greater funding for public services locally.\n\n\"Some changes will require time to explore, plan and introduce but it is economically efficient and effective to shift the tax burden onto property and land owners and away from council taxpayers, making the tax system more progressive and more based on ability to pay.\"\n\nThe joint paper recommends options to increase spending on council services, including the introduction of new levies.\n\nIt also calls for the recruitment of staff to ensure revenues are collected.\n\nOther recommendations include looking for more effective support for private and social enterprises.\n\nThe report says unions should consider how municipalisation of public services could be appropriately pursued, and how local authority debts could be taken over by the Treasury.\n\nIt also says that an expansion of local public services is possible with a \"fairer system\" of property taxes and environmental charges.\n\nCouncils could get the option to introduce a workplace parking levy\n\nCouncils are to receive £11.2bn in 2019-20 through the local government finance settlement.\n\nThis is a \"real-terms\" increase in both revenue -

She had founded a clinic in Harley Street.\n\nWith help from her mother, she bought a £9m home in Hampstead, which is one of London's most expensive districts and popular with Russian speakers.\n\nThe children's father lived nearby with his new wife.\n\nBut then Ms Tigipko met a new partner too, and married him in 2017 in Ukraine.\n\nIn November 2017, she took the girls for a visit to Kiev - and stayed there, violating an informal agreement with the father to remain living in the UK.\n\nShe sold her house in Hampstead and gave up her Harley Street business.\n\nIn April 2018, the High Court ruled she must return to London to live - but she ignored repeated court orders.\n\nMr Justice Mostyn found that her father, Sergiy, had helped her.\n\nHe was fully satisfied \"of his deep complicity\", he said in his judgment.\n\nAs no progress was being made, the girls' father took the exceptional step of asking for the grandfather and mother to be named, hoping that would encourage them to return the children.\n\nMr Tigipko is being investigated by Scotland Yard\n\nMr Tigipko is one of the richest and most powerful men in Ukraine.\n\nThe billionaire was an ally of Ukraine's former president, Viktor Yanukovych - serving as a vice prime minister in his administration - and twice stood as a presidential candidate himself.\n\nIn recent years, he has concentrated on his business interests, and told the court he had no further interest in politics.\n\nThe court heard that before the children were taken to Kiev, they had had a close relationship with their father.\n\nBut now they have been turned against him.\n\nIn December, the older girl told a court appointed expert: \"Papa is bad.\"\n\nHe has three children from a previous marriage while his new wife has a son from an earlier relationship.\n\nIt is believed to be the first time a judge has named abductors in such a case.\n\nIn family courts, protecting the children's identity is paramount and they are only named when their whereabouts is unknown, as in the case of Olly Sheridan.\n\nMr Justice Mostyn said that he placed \"great weight\" on the submissions made by the barrister for the children's court-appointed guardian, who had supported publication.\n\nHe said that child abduction was a \"heinous practice\" and yet \"public awareness is curiously very limited\".\n\nOrysia Lutsevych, from the think tank Chatham House, said many in Ukraine would be unsympathetic to the Tigipkos.\n\nShe said there was a sense that the very rich behave differently, that the rules do not apply to them, that they're \"untouchable\".\n\n\"I'm sure lots of Ukrainians will be watching the case,\" she added.", "The ICO is concerned that Facebook likes encourage children to over-share personal information\n\nFacebook and Instagram face limits on letting under-18s \"like\" posts on their platforms while Snapchat could be prevented from allowing the age group to build up \"streaks\", under new rules proposed by the UK's data watchdog.\n\nIt believes the tools encourage users to share more personal data and spend more time on apps than desired.\n\nLikes help build up profiles of users' interests while streaks encourage them to send photos and videos daily.\n\nThe proposal is part of a 16-rule code.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC's World At One , the Information Commissioner's Office suggested that social media networks could avoid an outright ban on \"likes\" if they stopped collecting personal data when children engaged with them.\n\nSnapchat displays a fire icon to represent streaks - which represents the fact that two members have messaged each other for several days in a row\n\nTo ensure its success, the ICO added that online services must also adopt \"robust\" age-verification systems.\n\nIn addition to calling for restrictions on children being exposed to so-called \"nudge techniques\", the ICO advocates internet firms make the following changes among others for their younger members:\n\nThe ICO suggests that firms that do not comply with the code could face fines of up to 20 million euros (£17.2m) or 4% of their worldwide turnover under the General Data Protection Regulation.\n\n\"The internet and all its wonders are hardwired into their everyday lives,\" commented Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham.\n\n\"We shouldn't have to prevent our children from being able to use it, but we must demand that they are protected when they do. This code does that.\"\n\nHer office is now seeking feedback as part of a consultation that will run until 31 May. It is envisaged that the rules would come into effect next year.\n\nThe Internet Association UK - which represents Facebook, Snap and other tech firms - has already raised concerns.\n\n\"Any new guidelines must be technically possible to implement in practice, and not stifle innovation and opportunities for smaller platforms,\" said its executive director Daniel Dyball.\n\n\"We must be careful when designing regulation to ensure any technical challenges, particularly around age verification, are understood and taken into consideration.\"\n\nRestrictions on Facebook's like button - which registers a user's interest in another user or advertiser's post - and Snapchat streaks - which count the number of consecutive days two members have messaged each other - are not the only nudge behaviours being targeted.\n\nThe ICO also says that apps should not:\n\nThe ICO says nudge techniques like those above encourage children to make poor privacy decisions\n\nThese, it said, exploit \"human susceptibility to reward-seeking behaviours in order to keep users online\".\n\nHowever, the regulator said it was appropriate in some cases to use nudges that encourage children to opt for privacy-enhancing settings, or to take a break after using an online service for some time.\n\nThe ICO's rules follow a proposal from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) for the creation of an independent tech watchdog that would write its own \"code of practice\" for online companies.\n\nThe suggestions have already been welcomed by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).\n\n\"Social networks have continually failed to prioritise child safety in their design, which has resulted in tragic consequences,\" commented the charity's Andy Burrows.\n\n\"This design code from the ICO is a really significant package of measures, but it must go hand in hand with the government following through on its commitment to enshrine in law a new duty of care on social networks and an independent regulator with powers to investigate and fine.\"\n\nBut the code has drawn criticism from the Adam Smith Institute think tank.\n\n\"The ICO is an unelected quango introducing draconian limitations on the internet with the threat of massive fines,\" said its head of research Matthew Lesh.\n\n\"It is ridiculous to infantilise people and treat everyone as children.\"\n\nThis new proposed code arrives a week after the sweeping new regulatory powers outlined in the government's Online Harms White Paper and with much less of a fanfare.\n\nBut whereas the all-powerful regulator is unlikely to be in place for many months or even years, the Information Commissioner's Office expects to get its Children's Code of Practice into law this summer.\n\nThat means that Facebook and Instagram - among others - will need to think rapidly about whether their platforms risk breaking the new rules.\n\nThe ICO made clear this morning that its problem with \"likes\" and \"streaks\" is not the features themselves but how they are used to collect data and target children with advertising.\n\nSo, if the platforms want to hold on to what they regard as useful elements of the social media experience, they'll have to show they work differently for children than for adults.\n\nThe other key demand from the data watchdog is to make the default privacy settings for platforms suitable for everyone including children.\n\nThat will mean adults having to opt in to the kind of data collection which is a key part of the business model of social media firms - so this code could pose a real threat to their bottom line.", "Ms Begum left Bethnal Green, east London, in 2015 to join the Islamic State group in Syria\n\nShamima Begum - who joined the Islamic State group aged 15 - is set to be granted legal aid to fight the decision to revoke her UK citizenship.\n\nThe 19-year-old, who left east London in 2015, was stripped of her citizenship in February, after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp.\n\nHer family has previously said it planned to challenge the decision.\n\nForeign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the idea of the provision of legal aid to Ms Begum made him \"very uncomfortable\".\n\nMr Hunt added, however, that the UK was \"a country that believes that people with limited means should have access to the resources of the state if they want to challenge the decisions the state has made about them\".\n\nLegal aid is financial assistance provided by the taxpayer to those unable to afford legal representation themselves, whether they are accused of a crime or a victim who seeks the help of a lawyer through the court process.\n\nIt is means-tested and availability has been cut back significantly in recent years in England and Wales.\n\nCivil servants at the Legal Aid Agency, which is part of the Ministry of Justice, are responsible for making decisions about who receives legal aid.\n\nEarlier, the BBC reported Ms Begum's case had been approved - but sources now say it will be formally signed off in the coming days.\n\nThe legal aid that is expected to be granted covers a case before the semi-secret Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac), which adjudicates on cases where the home secretary has stripped someone of their nationality on grounds of national security.\n\nCases before Siac are among the most complicated legal challenges that the government can face.\n\nThis is because they typically involve a complex combination of MI5 intelligence reports, which cannot be disclosed to the complainant, and long-standing law on achieving a fair hearing.\n\nIt is not yet clear when the expected case will be heard but the Siac process can take years to complete - and granting of legal aid in these circumstances is not unusual.\n\nOver the last decade or so there have been many other people stripped of nationality on the basis they are linked to terrorism who have been legally-aided during the Siac process.\n\nMs Begum left the UK in February 2015 alongside fellow Bethnal Green Academy pupils 15-year-old Amira Abase and 16-year-old Kadiza Sultana.\n\nMs Begum was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019 and said she wanted to return home.\n\nSoon afterwards, she gave birth to a boy called Jarrah. He died of pneumonia in March at less than three weeks of age. She had two other children who also died.\n\nIn the wake of the boy's death, Home Secretary Sajid Javid was criticised over the decision to strip Ms Begum of her British citizenship.\n\nThree weeks prior to the death, Ms Begum's sister, Renu Begum, had written to Mr Javid asking him to help her bring the baby to the UK.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

It's vital we get it right and ensure levels of payment protect everyone needing its support, particularly groups of people we know are already more likely to need a food bank - disabled people, people dealing with an illness, families with children and single parents.\n\n\"This, along with a Good Food Nation Bill that addresses hunger and destitution, can ensure Scotland leads the way in ending the need for food banks.\"\n\nA spokeswoman for the Department of Work and Pensions said it was wrong to link increased food bank use to any one cause.\n\nShe said: \"This research is based on anecdotal evidence from a small, self-selecting sample of less than 0.04% of current Universal Credit claimants, whereas Universal Credit is working for the vast majority who claim it.\n\n\"It was also carried out before our significant improvements to Universal Credit came into effect at the Budget; such as 100% advances, which support people before their first payment, removing the seven waiting days and two weeks' extra housing support for claimants moving onto Universal Credit.\n\n\"Since 2010, one million people have been lifted out of absolute poverty and employment is at a record high with over 3.2 million more people in work - equating to an extra 1,000 people employed a day, every day.\n\n\"Meanwhile we continue to spend £90bn a year on welfare to support those who need it most.

It's been a very successful season for me, but it wasn't meant to be.\"\n\nDefeat means the 36-time ranking event winner has not reached the World Championship quarter-finals since 2014, while this is the fourth time he has lost in the first round at snooker's showpiece event in his 27 visits.\n\nHis exit leaves Australia's Neil Robertson and England's Judd Trump as the favourites to lift the title.\n• None Watch live coverage of day four at the Crucible\n• None How to watch the World Championship on the BBC\n\nWhat a fantastic performance by James Cahill. The way he cleared those balls up under significant pressure - because they were there to be taken - sometimes that makes it an even harder job.\n\nKnowing what was probably going through his mind about how big a deal it would be, to still hold himself together to pot that last red, and then clear what was a normal set of colours under that pressure, is absolutely fantastic and he must be absolutely delighted.\n\nThis is probably the biggest [ever shock at the Crucible].\n\nThe fact James Cahill is still an amateur, the first amateur to ever play at the Crucible, and he's beaten probably the greatest player that's ever played this game, and looked so calm.\n\nHe played with a smile on his face, didn't look like he was nervous and looked like he was loving every minute of it.", "Sam Gray working in security - one of her many jobs\n\nMore than 320,500 self-employed people in Britain are working two or more jobs, new analysis suggests.\n\nA study by the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE) - seen by 5 Live's Wake Up To Money - shows that 7% have launched an additional business.\n\nSome call it a portfolio career or a multi-hyphenate career.\n\nOne term that seems to be sticking is \"slashie\", as in: \"I am a chef/blogger/dog walker.\"\n\nSam Gray is a so-called \"slashie\", although she dislikes that term and would rather be known as a \"Jack of all trades\". She's a former teacher living in Torquay, and currently works five different jobs.\n\nIn addition to her own dog-grooming business, Toodles, Sam works as a private tutor, teaches crochet and sells patterns, works security for nightclubs and bars and works two 12-hour night shifts at a local arcade.\n\nWhile she initially took on multiple roles by necessity, she says she now enjoys this way of working.\n\n\"As a full-time teacher your job never ends. There is this constant feeling that you could and should be doing more. But with lots of different jobs I have to switch off, I have to stop thinking about what I was doing, because I am getting paid to do something else.\n\n\"It is a positive choice. If I just worked in a dog grooming salon all day I think I'd probably go a little bit mad, dogs aren't great for conversation. And I love teaching, so tutoring really fills that gap for me.\"\n\nWorking more than one job because money is tight is not new, but many \"slashies\" appear to be doing so for more personal, creative reasons.\n\nIt's also a bit different to a side-hustle, which is where someone turns their hobby outside their main job into a money-making venture. Many are successful enough to be able to leave their full-time employment to become a \"slashie\".\n\nResearch carried out by Henley Business School found that one in four workers are running at least one business alongside their main careers.\n\nChloé Jepps, deputy head of research at IPSE, says that for most people it is a choice, not a necessity. \"It's to pursue a passion, try something new and get some extra income while doing something they love,\" she explains.\n\nBut it's also a way to trial a new business: \"You can test a new idea without leaping straight into it and try things without taking the full risk.\"\n\nEmma Gannon believes this way of working simply suits many people better, by giving them outlets for different interests. She's a journalist, podcaster and author of The Multi-Hyphen Method, which provides advice on how to manage multiple careers.\n\nShe says: \"In America, it was always cool to have another role on the side, but in the UK there's a stigma around being a 'Jack of all trades'.\n\n\"From school and university, we're told to pick one thing and become an expert, but the job-for-life isn't possible anymore, even if you want that.\n\n\"Humans are multifaceted by nature, we have many interests and now we're feeling braver about embracing that.\"\n\nEmma is confident that rather than \"working in a way that suits the Victorian era, working at a machine for fixed hours\", many more will choose to have a concurrent careers.\n\nBut she says these \"slashie\" pioneers are at risk of burnout.\n\n\"The flip side of enjoying your job can be that you end up working 24 hours a day. There's an increasing trend of merging your job and your life, and if you've got a few different gigs then even more so.\n\n\"There isn't enough support for people working this way. The admin side of things can be quite intense, more so if you're running more than one business.\"\n\nFor \"slashie\" Sam Gray, a change is simply as good as a rest.\n\n\"I feel refreshed by how I work now,\" she says.\n\n\"I don't do anything long enough to get bored with it, everything just feels new.\"\n• None The rise of the freelancer", "The proportion of UK firms reporting a cyber-attack has jumped, despite most businesses admitting they are under-prepared for breaches, according to research from Hiscox.\n\nThe insurer found 55% had faced an attack in 2019, up from 40% last year.\n\nBut almost three quarters of firms were ranked as \"novices\" in terms of cyber readiness.\n\nHiscox said a lot of businesses \"incorrectly felt that they weren't at risk\".\n\nThe firm surveyed more than 5,400 small, medium and large businesses across seven countries, including the UK, Germany, the US, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Spain.\n\nIt said there had been a \"sharp increase\" in the number of cyber-attacks this year, with more than 60% of firms having reported one or more attacks - up from 45% in 2018.\n\nAverage losses from breaches also soared from $229,000 (£176,000) to $369,000, an increase of 61%.\n\nDespite this, the insurer said the percentage of firms scoring top marks on cyber security had fallen, with UK organisations doing particularly badly.\n\nBritish firms had the lowest cyber security budgets, it said, spending less than $900,000 on average compared with $1.46m across the group.\n\nThey were also joint-least likely with US firms to have a \"defined role for cyber security\" on their staff. In France the proportion was closer to one in ten.\n\nGareth Wharton, head of Cyber at Hiscox, said the low UK spending could be driven by the large number of small businesses in Britain.\n\n\"They may feel like they won't be targeted, as we tend to only read about large breaches in the press. If they incorrectly feel that they won't be targeted, they may be less likely to spend on cyber security.\"\n\nHowever, Hiscox also found the average cost of an attack in the UK was lower than average at $243,000, compared with $906,000 in Germany and $486,000 in Belgium.\n\nNew regulation has also prompted action, with eight in ten UK firms saying they had made changes since the introduction of tough new EU data protection rules last year.", "A campaign to highlight the risks of cosmetic procedures is being launched by the government in England.\n\nLove Island star Tyne-Lexy Clarson says she had a \"daily influx\" of emails from cosmetic surgery firms for free procedures after she left the show - but would never promote them.\n\nInfluencer Shani Jamilah says she was given a free \"Brazilian butt lift\" in return for taking her social media followers \"on a journey\" with her.\n\nWatch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on BBC Two and BBC News Channel, 10:00 to 11:00 GMT - and see more of our stories here.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Future versions of Phoenix could be fitted with cameras and deployed in surveillance work\n\nResearchers from the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) have helped create a revolutionary new type of aircraft.\n\nPhoenix is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to stay in the air indefinitely using a new type of propulsion.\n\nDespite being 15m (50ft) long with a mass of 120kg (19 stone) she rises gracefully into the air.\n\nShe looks a little like an airship, except airships don't have wings.\n\n\"It's a proper aeroplane,\" says the UHI's Professor Andrew Rae.\n\nAs the project's chief engineer, he has overseen the integration of Phoenix's systems.\n\n\"It flies under its own propulsion although it has no engines,\" he says.\n\n\"The central fuselage is filled with helium, which makes it buoyant so it can ascend like a balloon.\n\n\"And inside that there's another bag with compressors on it that brings air from outside, compresses the air, which makes the aeroplane heavier and then it descends like a glider.\"\n\nThis ability to \"breathe\" - to switch quickly between being heavier or lighter than air - doesn't just make the plane go up and down.\n\nIt is the key to driving it forward. Phoenix is the first large-scale aircraft to be powered by variable-buoyancy propulsion.\n\nIt moves through the air like a porpoise through water.\n\nThat means it can travel long distances and stay aloft for long periods.\n\nThe point? To create a cheaper alternative to launching satellites.\n\nProf Andrew Rae says the Phoenix is a \"proper aeroplane\"\n\nThe wings and tail carry solar panels so there is no need to carry fuel aloft.\n\nThe quasi-airship shape is based on an aerofoil, meaning it also provides lift like its wings do when the plane moves forward.\n\nProf Rae, using two wind tunnels at UHI's Perth College campus, led the design of its aerodynamics.\n\nThe technique of variable-buoyancy propulsion is already used underwater.\n\nThe Scottish Association for Marine Science (also part of UHI) has a small fleet of remotely operated vehicles - they call them gliders - that gather data in the North Atlantic.\n\nThey dive deep to collect data, then rise to the surface to transmit it via satellite.\n\nBut air is much less dense than water and this has made the principle a trickier proposition for flight.\n\nPhoenix is the first aircraft of its size to use it.\n\nThe central fuselage of the Phoenix is filled with helium\n\nIt is 15m (49ft) long with a wingspan of almost 11m (36ft)\n\nProduction versions would need to be scaled up to reach the altitudes of 20km required to fulfil its intended role.\n\nAn autonomous vehicle which is self-sufficient in energy could stay in the air for days, weeks, even months.\n\nThe team think it could revolutionise the telecommunications industry.\n\nThe oft-quoted rule of thumb in the space business is that putting a satellite into orbit costs its weight in gold.\n\nA Phoenix \"pseudosatellite\" could do the same job from high in the atmosphere at a fraction of the cost.\n\nProf Rae says some aircraft can already do this but are complex and expensive.\n\nPhoenix, by contrast, is so cheap as to be \"almost expendable\".\n\nIn addition to UHI, the Phoenix project involves Bristol, Newcastle, Sheffield and Southampton universities.\n\nIt also involved four commercial companies and three of the UK's Technology Catapults, and has been part funded by the UK government's innovation agency Innovate UK.\n\nThe prototype Phoenix has been successfully tested inside the Drystack in Portsmouth, a huge indoor area which normally stores pleasure boats.\n\nIt was used to shelter the aircraft from the winter winds although production versions would operate in all weathers.\n\nThe project has involved its partners integrating the solar cells, flight control system, micropumps, carbon fibre wings and tail, reversible hydrogen fuel cell and rechargeable battery.\n\nThe last of these is what enables a solar-powered vehicle to keep working all night.\n\nNow that the prototype has flown successfully, the consortium wants to collaborate with major manufacturers to take Phoenix to the next level.", "A teenage neo-Nazi who suggested Prince Harry should be shot for marrying a woman of mixed race has pleaded guilty to terror offences at the Old Bailey.\n\nMichal Szewczuk, 19, of Leeds, admitted two counts of encouraging terrorism and five of possessing documents useful to a terrorist.\n\nThe charges relate to a neo-Nazi group called the Sonnenkrieg Division.\n\nCo-defendant Oskar Dunn-Koczorowski, 18, from west London, pleaded guilty in December to encouraging terrorism.\n\nBoth of them were granted conditional bail and are due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 17 June.\n\nThe pair produced Sonnenkrieg propaganda that, among other things, said Prince Harry was a \"race traitor\" who should be shot and lionised the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik.\n\nThey publicised the propaganda on the social media site Gab, including on a page for the Sonnenkrieg group itself.\n\nSzewczuk, hiding behind a pseudonym, also used a separate account to posts links to self-authored diatribes that called for the \"systematic slaughtering\" of women and the rape of babies.\n\nDetectives found Szewczuk in possession of bomb-making instructions, documents describing how to conduct Islamist terror attacks, and a \"white resistance\" manual.\n\nThe Sonnenkrieg group, which was exposed last year by a BBC investigation, was created as a British version of the American neo-Nazi organisation Atomwaffen Division, which has been linked to five murders.\n\nOskar Dunn-Koczorowki admitted two counts of encouraging terrorism in December\n\nSzewczuk and Dunn-Koczorowski were arrested the morning after the BBC investigation was broadcast. At the time, Szewczuk was a university student in Portsmouth.\n\nAnother man was also arrested and has since been released under investigation.\n\nThe group's ideology, which is influenced by figures such as the murderous cult leader Charles Manson, is a strain of neo-Nazism that openly encourages criminality and acts of terrorism.\n\nOnline propaganda and private chat logs show members engaging in extreme misogyny, as well as exalting jihadist terrorism and a violent strand of Satanism.\n\nSome private messages seen by the BBC suggest Sonnenkrieg members encouraged young women to engage in acts of self-harm.\n\nThe Sonnenkrieg Division grew out of a split in the now largely defunct System Resistance Network, which was created after the neo-Nazi group National Action was banned under anti-terror laws in 2016.\n\nSonnenkrieg and System Resistance Network both contained one-time members of National Action, including Dunn-Koczorowski.", "The sensors were developed in France and the UK\n\nThe American space agency's InSight lander appears to have detected its first seismic event on Mars.\n\nThe faint rumble was picked up by the probe's sensors on 6 April - the 128th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.\n\nIt is the first seismic signal detected on the surface of a planetary body other than the Earth and its Moon.\n\nScientists say the source for this \"Marsquake\" could either be movement in a crack inside the planet or the shaking from a meteorite impact.\n\nNasa's InSight probe touched down on the Red Planet in November last year.\n\nIt aims to identify multiple quakes, to help build a clearer picture of Mars' interior structure.\n\nResearchers can then compare this with Earth's internal rock layering, to learn something new about the different ways in which these two worlds have evolved through the aeons.\n\nInterestingly, InSight's scientists say the character of the rumble reminds them very much of the type of data the Apollo sensors gathered on the lunar surface.\n\nThis YouTube post cannot be displayed in your browser.

(1) The wind on Mars; (2) the reported 6 April event; and (3) the movement of the probe's robot arm as it takes photos.\n\nAstronauts installed five seismometers that measured thousands of quakes while operating on the Moon between 1969 and 1977.\n\nInSight's seismometer system incorporates French (low-frequency) and British (high-frequency) sensors. Known as the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), the instrument was lifted on to the Martian surface by the probe's robotic arm on 19 December.\n\nBoth parts of the system observed the 6 April signal, although it wasn't possible to extract any information to make a more definitive statement about the likely source or the distance from the probe to the event.\n\n\"It's probably only a Magnitude 1 to 2 event, perhaps within 100km or so. There are a lot of uncertainties on that, but that's what it's looking like,\" said Prof Tom Pike, who leads the British side of the seismometer package.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Prof Tom Pike: \"The signal had a startling similarity to what's been seen with Moonquakes\"\n\nThe UK high-frequency sensors are cut from silicon\n\nDr Bruce Banerdt is Nasa's chief scientist on the InSight mission. He added: \"This particular Marsquake - the first one we've seen - is a very, very small one. In fact, if you live in Southern California like I do, you wouldn't even notice this one in your day-to-life. But since Mars is so quiet, this is something that we're able to pick up with our instrument.\"\n\nThe team is investigating three other signals picked up only by the low-frequency sensors - on 14 March (Sol 105), 10 April (Sol 132) and 11 April (Sol 133). However, these were even smaller than the Sol 128 event, and the InSight scientists do not have the confidence yet to claim them as real seismic events.\n\nThe probe's prime mission is set to run for two Earth years - a little more than one Martian year.\n\nGiven the time taken to make this first detection, it might suggest InSight should record another dozen or so seismic signals in the initial operating period, explained Prof Pike.\n\n\"When you've got one, you don't know whether you were just lucky, but when we see two or three we will have a better idea,\" the Imperial College London researcher told BBC News.\n\n\"Of course, if the other three are confirmed then we could be looking at quite a large number of detections over the next two years.\"\n\nSEIS was developed and provided for InSight by the French space agency (CNES).\n\nThe UK Space Agency funded the £5m British involvement. Sue Horne, the UKSA's head of space exploration, commented: \"Thanks to the Apollo missions of the 1960s we know that Moonquakes exist. So, it's exciting to see the Mars results coming in, now indicating the existence of Marsquakes which will lead to a better understanding of what's below the surface of the Red Planet.\"", "The latest episode of Game of Thrones was uploaded to Amazon early due to an \"error\", the company has said.\n\nThe second instalment of the eighth and final series was not supposed to be broadcast until Sunday evening.\n\nBut some Amazon Prime members were able to watch it several hours before that.\n\n\"We regret that for a short time Amazon customers in Germany were able to access episode two of season eight of Game of Thrones,\" an Amazon spokesman said.\n\n\"This was an error and has been rectified.\"\n\nIt may have been taken down soon after it was uploaded, but it was long enough for many fans to view the whole episode.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

the terms on how the UK leaves the bloc, rather than its future relationship with it - defeated a further time.\n\nWeeks of talks resumed between the two parties in Westminster on Tuesday afternoon following the Easter break.\n\nMrs May's de facto deputy David Lidington was expected to lead for the government.\n\nShadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey and shadow environment secretary Sue Hayman took part on behalf of Labour.\n\nAhead of the meeting, Sir Keir said \"fundamental issues\" remained between his party and ministers on a number of key issues.\n\nSome Tory MPs are angry the discussions with Labour are even taking place.\n\nLeading backbencher Nigel Evans called on Mrs May to step down as prime minister \"as soon as possible\", adding that the PM \"had been reaching out to the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn, when she should have been reaching out to the people\".\n\nTalks between Labour and the government seem to be faltering on two fronts - timing and substance.\n\nBoth sides say there has been serious engagement.\n\nBut the prime minister wants the talks concluded urgently to give her a chance of cancelling the UK's participation in the European parliamentary elections.\n\nThat means getting a deal through Parliament by 22 May.\n\nIf it looks like an agreement can't be reached with the opposition quickly, Theresa May wants them jointly to sign up to a series of parliamentary votes that both sides would regard as binding, to try to break the impasse.\n\nBut Labour doesn't appear willing to be rushed.\n\nAnd the main opposition party says Mrs May still needs to erase her red line on a customs union if she is to make progress.\n\nSources say the issue was discussed at the cabinet today - but, while no votes were taken, there didn't seem to be a majority in favour of doing so.\n\nAs things stand, the Brexit deadlock continues - and the European election campaigns are getting under way.\n\nSenior members of the influential 1922 committee of Tory MPs are meeting in Parliament.\n\nUnder current party rules, MPs cannot call another no-confidence vote in the prime minister until December - but the committee is expected to discuss whether steps should be taken to try to change that.\n\nThe group's joint executive secretary Mr Evans told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the calls for the prime minister to quit had become \"a clamour\".\n\n\"The only way we're going to break this impasse properly is if we have fresh leadership of the Conservative Party,\" he said.\n\nBut prisons minister Rory Stewart said Mrs May was doing a \"good job\" and deserved \"praise not blame\".\n\n\"It's nothing to do with the individual, it's that people disagree deeply about Brexit,\" he added.\n\nThe comments came after it emerged that Mrs May faces a no-confidence challenge from Tory campaigners.\n\nMore than 70 local association chiefs have called for an extraordinary general meeting to discuss her leadership and a non-binding vote is to be held at the National Conservative Convention EGM in May.\n\nIf the grass-roots Tory vote showed a lack of confidence -

This year it will be £1169.59. That represents an increase of around 11.5%.\n\nThere are multiple reasons for differing rates in different council areas - everything from property prices, council income, population change, planned investment and legacy debt all have a bearing.\n\nDerry City and Strabane Council also subsidises an airport.

Gail Jardine: \"I can walk, I can turn... it's really helped me\"\n\nA treatment that has restored the movement of patients with chronic Parkinson's disease has been developed by Canadian researchers.\n\nPreviously housebound patients are now able to walk more freely as a result of electrical stimulation to their spines.\n\nA quarter of patients have difficulty walking as the disease wears on, often freezing on the spot and falling.\n\nParkinson's UK hailed its potential impact on an aspect of the disease where there is currently no treatment.\n\nProf Mandar Jog, of Western University and associate scientific director, Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ontario, told BBC News the scale of benefit to patients of his new treatment was \"beyond his wildest dreams\".\n\nScientists monitor their patients' improvement using sensors on a specially made suit.\n\n\"Most of our patients have had the disease for 15 years and have not walked with any confidence for several years,\" he said.\n\n\"For them to go from being home-bound, with the risk of falling, to being able to go on trips to the mall and have vacations is remarkable for me to see.\"\n\nNormal walking involves the brain sending instructions to the legs to move. It then receives signals back when the movement has been completed before sending instructions for the next step.\n\nThe parts of the brain involved with movement (red on the left-hand scan) are not working properly, but three months into the trial those areas are now functioning\n\nProf Jog believes Parkinson's disease reduces the signals coming back to the brain - breaking the loop and causing the patient to freeze.\n\nThe implant his team has developed boosts that signal, enabling the patient to walk normally.\n\nHowever, Prof Jog was surprised that the treatment was long-lasting and worked even when the implant was turned off.\n\nHe believes the electrical stimulus reawakens the feedback mechanism from legs to brain that is damaged by the disease.\n\n\"This is a completely different rehabilitation therapy,\" he said. \"We had thought that the movement problems occurred in Parkinson's patients because signals from the brain to the legs were not getting through.\n\n\"But it seems that it's the signals getting back to the brain that are degraded.\"\n\nBrain scans showed that before patients received the electrical treatment, the areas that control movement were not working properly. But a few months into the treatment those areas were restored.\n\nGail Jardine, 66, is among the patients who has benefited from the treatment.\n\nBefore she received the implant two months ago, Gail kept freezing on the spot, and she would fall over two or three times a day.\n\nShe lost her confidence and stopped walking in the countryside in Kitchener, Ontario - something she loved doing with her husband, Stan.\n\nNow she can walk with Stan in the park for the first time in more than two years.\n\n\"I can walk a lot better,\" she said. \"I haven't fallen since I started the treatment. It's given me more confidence and I'm looking forward to taking more walks with Stan and maybe even go on my own\".\n\nGuy Alden used to rely on a wheelchair but after his treatment he had his first holiday in seven years with his wife, Barb\n\nAnother beneficiary is Guy Alden, 70, a deacon at a catholic church in London, Ontario. He was forced to retire in 2012 because of his Parkinson's disease.\n\nHis greatest regret was that it curtailed his work in the community, such as his prison visits.\n\n\"I was freezing a lot when I was in a crowd or crossing a threshold in a mall. Everyone would be looking at me. It was very embarrassing,\" he told me.\n\n\"Now I can walk in crowds. My wife and I even went on holiday to Maui and I didn't need to use my wheelchair at any point. There were a lot of narrow roads and a lot of (slopes) and I did all of that pretty well.\"\n\nDr Beckie Port, research manager at Parkinson's UK, said: \"The results seen in this small-scale pilot study are very promising and the therapy certainly warrants further investigation.\n\n\"Should future studies show the same level of promise, it has the potential to dramatically improve quality of life, giving people with Parkinson's the freedom to enjoy everyday activities.\"\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Chris Davies's defence said the MP did not intend to make \"personal gain\" or act in a \"dishonest way\"\n\nAn MP convicted of making a false expenses claim has been ordered to do 50 hours unpaid work and fined £1,500.\n\nConservative MP for Brecon and Radnorshire Chris Davies pleaded guilty to providing false or misleading information for allowances claims and attempting to do so in March.\n\nDavies, 51, made an \"unreserved apology\" following his sentencing at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday.\n\nHe now faces a recall petition amid calls for his resignation.\n\nDavies must complete the community order within 12 months and was also ordered to pay £2,500 in costs.\n\nTom Forster QC, defending, said it was likely Mr Davies's career was in \"tatters\"\n\nLabour and the Liberal Democrats have called for him to resign, but in a statement Davies said he wanted to \"move on and continue\" his role as an MP.\n\n\"I have accepted today's ruling and want to take this opportunity to make an unreserved apology,\" he said.\n\n\"I would like to reiterate that I made a mistake and at no point did I at any time try to make any financial gain.\"\n\nThe Conservatives said Mr Davies has been given \"formal warning\" from the chief whip Julian Smith.\n\nA party spokesman said \"it is right that the people of Brecon and Radnorshire now get to have their say about whether they still support Mr Davies\".\n\nThe court heard Chris Davies's political career is likely to be in \"tatters\"\n\nThe charges related to when he was setting up his constituency office following the 2015 general election.\n\nIn 2016, he tried to split a genuine cost of £700 for photographs for his office between two budgets by faking two separate invoices.\n\nThe court heard only one of them, for £450, was reimbursed, from a start-up budget that only had about £480 remaining in it and was not due to roll over and otherwise may have been lost.\n\nDavies would have been allowed to claim the whole amount from a separate budget for office costs.\n\nAnother invoice for the remaining £250 to be claimed from that budget was not submitted, the court heard, after his office manager noticed the discrepancy.\n\nThe prosecution did not allege he was seeking falsely to profit from the invoices, but said the forged documents \"involved some sophistication and took effort to create\" and there was \"also the matter of breach of public trust\".\n\nMr Forster said he was \"new to the system\" and had paid back any money given to him.\n\nHe said there was a \"likelihood that his political career is in tatters\" and Davies was the \"author of his own misfortune\".\n\nMr Justice Edis said the case was different \"from the expenses scandals from 10 years ago\"\n\nMr Justice Edis said the MP's actions were \"highly discreditable\" and it \"remains shocking that when confronted with a simple accounting problem you thought the simplest thing to do was to forge documents\".\n\nThe office for the Commons' Speaker John Bercow is now expected to ask officials to open a recall petition -

But the ruthlessness of the new atrocities has stunned the nation anew.\n\nEventually the government spokesman, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne, came out and blamed National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), a home-grown Islamist group, for the bombings.\n\n\"There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded,\" he told reporters on Monday.\n\nThat might go some way to explaining how a group that has been blamed for promoting hate speech may now have been able to scale up its capacity so monumentally.\n\nOn Tuesday, however, the Islamic State (IS) group said its militants had carried out the attacks. It published a video of eight men the group claimed were behind the attacks.\n\nThe IS claim should be treated cautiously. It is not clear whether these men were trained by the group or simply inspired by IS ideology.\n\nThe manner in which NTJ was identified was circuitous. The prime minister said there had been warnings made to officials that hadn't been shared with the cabinet. He said only the president would get such briefings, even though it is not clear if he personally did in this instance.\n\nThis is not an insignificant statement from a prime minister who was at loggerheads with the president for much of the past year. Many are drawing a conclusion about how political discord can have serious consequences - as well as undermining trust in the messages being put out.\n\nIf the suicide bombers were local Sri Lankan Muslims, as stated by the government, then it is a colossal failure by the intelligence agencies. Information is also now emerging in the US media that the Sri Lankan government may also have had warnings from US and Indian intelligence about a possible threat.\n\n\"Our understanding is that [the warning] was correctly circulated among security and police,\" Shiral Lakthilaka, a senior adviser to President Maithripala Sirisena, said.\n\nThe Sri Lankan president, who oversees security forces, has now set up a committee to find out what went wrong.\n\nSri Lankan intelligence was credited with foiling several suicide attacks by the Tamil Tiger rebels at the height of the civil war and for penetrating a well-knit and ruthless Tamil Tiger organisation.\n\nWhile this is clearly a security and political failure, there are also questions about the nature of communal strife in Sri Lanka's more recent history. During the civil war, Muslims were also targeted by Tamil Tiger rebels and suffered at their hands.\n\nBut Muslim community leaders say successive Sri Lankan governments have failed to restore confidence among young Muslims following more recent attacks by some members of the majority Sinhalese Buddhist community.\n\nOne of the worst incidents was in the town of Digana in central Sri Lanka where one person died when a Sinhalese mob attacked Muslim shops and mosques in March last year.\n\nSri Lanka declared a state of emergency after attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned businesses in 2018\n\n\"After Digana quite a few Muslims lost faith in the government to provide them security. Some of them got the idea that they can defend themselves,\" says Hilmy Ahamed, vice-president of the Sri Lanka Muslim Council.\n\nThe attacks and what the youths perceived as the lack of action by the government may have led some of them towards groups like NTJ.\n\nSome of the radicals were blamed for damaging Buddhist statues in recent years and their leader was arrested last year for offending religious sentiments. He later apologised for offending the sentiments of the Buddhist Sinhalese.\n\nNow it is widely believed a new group emerged a few years ago under the leadership of Zaharan Hashim, a radical Muslim preacher from eastern Sri Lanka.\n\nMr Hashim posted several videos on social media purportedly promoting hatred against non-Muslims. Most of his videos are in the Tamil language. His teachings are said to have attracted several Muslim youths.\n\n\"This man was preaching hate with lots of YouTube videos on social media posts. Some of us reported him to the national intelligence services. Once about three years ago and once in January this year,\" says Mr Ahamed.\n\nHe added that security services did not take any action against Mr Hashim. Reports say the preacher was one of the suicide bombers though it's yet to be confirmed.\n\nLike Muslims, Christians are a minority in Sri Lanka\n\nMuslim community leaders say a few youths went to Syria to join IS, and some of them were killed in fighting there.\n\nIt's important not to overstate this, though, and a former senior military officer Maj Gen (Retired) GA Chandrasiri says \"we have very cordial relationship with the Muslims. Most Muslims are not with these people. They are peace loving people\".\n\nThere are no reports so far of a high number of jihadists returning to Sri Lanka. But even if a select few jihadists are angry with the majority, why were Christians targeted?\n\nIn the complex cocktail of Sri Lanka's religious and ethnic tensions, Christians are almost unique for not perpetrating any kind of violence on behalf of their community. After all, it is a religion that crosses ethnic lines.\n\nI covered the Sri Lankan civil war for years and reported on many Tamil Tiger suicide attacks. It took years for the group to be able to learn to detonate such devices.\n\nSo it is intriguing that a lesser-known Islamist group, with a few home-grown radicals, could carry out six - some say even seven - suicide attacks with such pinpoint precision and devastation. None of them failed.\n\nEven though connections with global jihadist groups are unclear, the choice of major luxury hotels and Christians as a target - in addition to the sophistication of the operation - makes it plausible that local radicalism has come under the influence of global jihadist networks. It would be a tried and tested pattern in global attacks.\n\nDuring the Sri Lankan civil war foreign tourists were spared and attacks on outsiders were rare. In the latest bombings, many foreigners were killed and this has raised the spectre of links with al-Qaeda or IS.\n\n\"For this type of operation you need lots of assistance from outside. You need finances, training and technique for this kind of work. You can't do these things alone. May be there was some help from outside,\" Gen Chandrasiri said.\n\nThe number of tourists visiting Sri Lanka has soared after the end of the civil war\n\nViolence is not new to Sri Lanka. It went through turbulent times during a left-wing insurrection in the 1970s followed by a nearly three-decade bloody war with the Tamil Tiger rebels. Tens of thousands of people were killed.\n\nBut the ruthlessness and sophistication of the latest atrocities indicate that it will be challenge for the Sri Lankan security forces to deal with those behind the bombings. The last thing the Sri Lankan public wants is more violence and recrimination.", "About 100 people are now involved in the operation\n\nA huge wildfire which has destroyed more than 20 square miles of grassland in Moray will \"take days\" to put out, according to the fire service.\n\nAbout 70 firefighters have spent a second day tackling the blaze which is close to two wind farms.\n\nThe alarm was raised shortly before 15:00 on Monday after flames were spotted near Paul's Hill wind farm at Knockando, south west of Elgin.\n\nThere have been no reports of casualties but the fire has destroyed about 60 square kilometres (23 square miles) of grassland and woodland.\n\nScottish Fire and Rescue Area manager Bruce Farquharson said up to 100 people were now involved in fighting the fire.\n\nPolice, ambulance and local estate staff joined the efforts, along with Forestry Commission staff and local windfarm workers.\n\nHe said: \"This is one of the largest fires we have had in the last couple of years - the area and the intensity of the fire.\n\n\"It has passed through one windfarm and is impinging on a second.\n\n\"We have had to evacuate a couple of farms for safety purposes, to the south of Dallas.\n\n\"The fuel is extremely dry after the winter and the sun we have enjoyed over the Easter weekend has created the perfect environment for fires to take hold and spread very quickly.\"\n\nMr Farquharson explained that SFRS cannot deploy firefighters into a woodland fire, and that it needed to be tackled from above using helicopters to drop water.\n\nThe fire is close to two wind farms\n\nHe said it would take days to put the fire out completely.\n\nThe blaze is burning on four different fronts.\n\nThe Paul's Hill wind farm, which consists of 28 turbines, is operated by Fred Olsen Renewables.\n\nThere was a large grass fire in the same area last weekend.\n\nFirefighters have also tackled a separate wildfire affecting about 75 acres of land in Lochaber, and at Bonhill in West Dunbartonshire.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

End of twitter post by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service\n\nThe Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been on wildfire alert for number of days because of what they described as \"tinder dry\" conditions.\n\nIt said on Twitter: \"Our crews have worked tirelessly to tackle a large number of significant wildfires across Scotland this #Easter weekend.\n\n\"There remains an extreme risk of wildfire across the country in the coming days, with temperatures remaining high and moisture levels low.\n\n\"We encourage everyone who is enjoying the countryside during this period of extreme danger to exercise caution and be aware of how easily fires can start - and spread.\"", "Two girls, aged 13 and four, were among the injured in the crash on Bickershaw Lane\n\nA pick-up truck driver has been charged with manslaughter following the death of a mother in a three-vehicle crash.\n\nThe 34-year-old woman died in Saturday's crash in Bickershaw Lane, Wigan, and two others, including a four-year-old girl, were injured.\n\nJames Pownall, 26, is also accused of causing death by dangerous driving, kidnap and perverting the course of justice.\n\nSteven Fairclough, 22, has been charged with perverting the course of justice.\n\nBoth men will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court.\n\nGreater Manchester Police said the driver and passengers of the Volkswagen Amarok pick-up escaped by forcing another motorist to drive them away.\n\nThe woman, who was driving a Volkswagen Polo, died in hospital.\n\nHer passengers, a 29-year-old man and two girls, aged four and 13, were also taken to hospital.\n\nThe pick-up truck was later found in Bolton House Road.\n\nThe allegation of manslaughter is understood to be by transferred malice because of the Amarok driver's suspected intentions towards those travelling in a Mercedes also involved in the crash.\n\nThe occupants of the Mercedes, a 21-year-old man and two 20-year-old men, were initially arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.\n\nTwo of the men have been eliminated from the investigation but arrested for causing criminal damage and released on bail.\n\nOne of the 20-year-old men remains in custody on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.\n\nSgt Lee Westhead appealed for witnesses to the crash to contact police.\n\nHe added: \"We continue to support the victims of this dreadful incident at this time and my thoughts remain with them.\"", "St Anthony's Church, the site of one of the deadliest Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka, is renowned as a place of worship open to all faiths, but the attacks have shut its doors for now.\n\nFor the first time in its 175-year history, people are being turned away.\n\nThe road to the shrine in Colombo's Kochchikade district is a familiar one to many, who - regardless of their religion - would regularly come here to seek blessings.\n\nSt Anthony's is a Roman Catholic church but its patron has acquired a reputation among the wider population for being a \"miracle worker\". No request, no matter how large, small or strangely specific, is left unanswered by St Anthony, people say.\n\nOn Monday, however, a day after the bomb blast ripped through its entrance, things are very different. The attack here was one of eight across the country which killed 310 people and injured many more.\n\nPolice are fanned out near the turn-off to the church, marked by its distinctive large statue of St Anthony, mounted on a pedestal. The perimeter of the church itself has been cordoned off with yellow tape and is being guarded by armed security officers.\n\nSecurity has been stepped up across the country in the wake of the attacks\n\nDespite this, a sizeable crowd is still gathered outside, veering as close to the perimeter as they dare, most just staring at the large white building. From a distance it looks untouched, but look harder and hints of the carnage that took place inside become more visible.\n\nNear its entrance, half hidden by a wall, you can see bits of rubble and shards of glass. The clock on its left tower is frozen at 8.45 - the time the blast took place.\n\nThere were so many casualties here because such a large crowd had gathered. Even on a normal day, the church is filled with worshippers. For Easter Mass, the chief priest thought well over 1,000 people were in the congregation.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nScores are thought to have been killed at St Anthony's - it's not clear yet how many lost their lives.\n\nAmong those gathered outside the church is Prabath Buddhika. Although Mr Buddhika is Buddhist by religion, like many others, he is a strong believer in the power of St Anthony.\n\n\"My house is right here,\" he said, adding that he'd been attending the church since he was a child and gone along with his family many times.\n\nPrabath Buddhika says he cannot describe the carnage he saw\n\nLike many others, Mr Buddhika ran to the church after hearing the explosions. The carnage he saw there could not be described, he says, but people fearlessly came forward from around the area in order to help.\n\nAmong them was Peter Michael Fernando, a Catholic who lives close to the church. He was asleep when the blast occurred, he says, waking up after his \"bed shook\" with the force of the explosion. He ran towards the church after seeing plumes of smoke rising into the sky.\n\n\"There were bodies and parts of bodies everywhere. I saw there were two people who were still alive so I helped them to an ambulance. I was weeping.\"\n\nMr Fernando says what stayed with him was the number of children he saw among the dead and injured. \"They were screaming, they were bleeding. We tried to help as many as we could. I carried a little girl into one of the vans - she had lost a leg,\" he said, breaking down again.\n\nPeter Michael Fernando says the force of the blast shook him awake\n\nA little distance away stands Anuja Subasinghe, a nurse. She has been staring at the church for a long time.\n\n\"This church is for those who carry unbearable sadness - it gives them solace,\" she says with tears in her eyes. \"Who would do something like this? Why would they do this?\"\n\nShe couldn't come for Sunday's Easter Mass because she had to report for duty, but on Monday morning she felt she needed to be there for the church.\n\n\"My husband died 12 years ago and the only thing that got me through that terrible tragedy was this church,\" she says. \"I didn't need any other man. St Anthony was enough for me.\"\n\nLike Mr Buddhika, Ms Subasinghe was born a Buddhist, but converted to Christianity after discovering the church.\n\nSo what is it about this church and St Anthony in particular that has captured the imagination of so many people?\n\nAccording to Father Leo Perera, a parish priest who serves nearby, part of it is to do with the fact St Anthony's Church has always been associated with miracles.\n\nIn fact, its very origin has been attributed to one.\n\nFather Perera says the attacks will not erode faith in the church\n\nAccording to local legend and the written history of the archdiocesan archives, St Anthony's Church was built by a priest from Cochin in southern India, named Father Antonio. He secretly practised Catholicism during the Dutch rule of Colombo in the 18th Century, although it had been named a proscribed religion.\n\nHe was able to build the church, the legend says, after performing a miracle. The locals had come to him in panic after seeing the sea rising and asked him to pray for it to recede. He did, and the sea not only receded, but a sand bank suddenly emerged from the waters. So he planted a cross there and built a small mud church, in which he remained until his death.\n\nThe other reason, Father Leo says, is the fact that many people have testified that the church has answered prayers and restored faith.\n\n\"Everyone who goes there comes away with the happy feeling that their prayers have been heard,\" he said, adding that on special celebratory feast days, the church was always full of grateful people who had come to give offerings as thanks for having their prayers heard.\n\nBut what next, I ask him? Will the attacks erode people's faith in the power of this church?\n\n\"Absolutely not,\" he says with emotion.\n\n\"You cannot keep people away from here just because of something like this. They will keep coming back because this is the time they want the presence of God in their life. There is no way this will affect the power of this church and the faith of its believers.\"\n\nThis sentiment is echoed by Mr Buddhika.\n\n\"This is no ordinary church. Whoever did this didn't know what they were messing with - they cannot simply get away with something like this.\n\n\"They will pay for this over generations.\"\n\nAnd this is because St Anthony's is so much more than just a place of worship. It is a symbol of Sri Lanka's plurality and tolerance. A reminder that in a country, still bruised by the memories of a brutal civil war and inter-religious violence, its diverse communities have traditionally lived together peacefully and embraced each other's beliefs and differences.\n\nThat perhaps explains why so many of them still came together to stand in front of the church, to express sadness and horror at what took place within.\n\nIn its darkest hour, the church continues to be a symbol of hope - with many Sri Lankans choosing to stand together despite the hatred that has unfolded among them.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"Justice is not inevitable\": Amal Clooney spoke at the UN Security Council meeting\n\nThe Trump administration's opposition to abortion has led to the watering-down of a UN resolution on ending sexual violence in war.\n\nThe US removed all references to sexual and reproductive health.\n\nThe Security Council resolution, submitted by Germany, dropped all such references.

But this is a speech in the Bundestag of real importance because it shows a German view of Brexit.\"\n\nHe added: \"I don't think re-tweeting is an endorsement of things that other people stand for. It's just pointing out that there's something interesting that's worth watching.\"", "The withdrawal agreement is 585 pages long, while the political declaration is just 26 pages\n\nMPs have rejected Theresa May's Brexit deal for a third time. The government lost by 344 votes to 286, a majority of 58.\n\nBut on this occasion there was a key difference: MPs only voted on the withdrawal agreement and not the political declaration. Previously, both of these were voted on and rejected.\n\nThis is the deal the UK government negotiated with the European Union, over 18 months, and it sets out the terms of the UK's departure from the EU.\n\nFirst published in November, it is almost 600 pages long and some of the key areas it covers are:\n\nUnder the withdrawal agreement, the UK would enter into a 21-month transition period with the EU after Brexit.\n\nDuring this time the UK would continue to follow EU rules and remain in the single market and customs union to allow frictionless trade to continue. The UK would also lose membership of EU institutions.\n\nThe transition period could be extended, but only for a period of one or two years.\n\nThis is known as \"the divorce bill\" - the amount of money the UK would need to pay the EU to settle its obligations.\n\nAlthough no figure appears in the document, it is expected that the UK would pay at least £39bn over a number of years.\n\nThe most controversial part of the withdrawal agreement is the Irish backstop, which has proved to be the main reason it cannot command a majority in Parliament.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nThe backstop is the insurance policy designed to prevent a hard border in Ireland after Brexit. It would kick in at the end of the transition period in the event that a comprehensive trade deal, that avoids the needs for checks at the Irish border, is not reached between the UK and EU.\n\nThe terms of the backstop would effectively place the UK into a temporary customs union with the EU. Critics worry that the UK could find itself trapped in this arrangement for years, leaving it unable to pursue its own independent trade policy (signing trade deals with countries like the US).\n\nDuring the transition period, UK citizens in the EU, and EU citizens in the UK, would retain their residency and welfare rights after Brexit.\n\nThe withdrawal agreement also allows citizens who take up residency in another EU country during the transition period (including the UK, of course) to be allowed to stay in that country after the transition.\n\nThe political declaration - also published in November - is all about the future relationship between the UK and the EU, after Brexit.\n\nThis document is far shorter (just 26 pages) and, unlike the withdrawal agreement, it is not legally binding.\n\nSome of the keys areas it covers are:\n\nThe document calls on the trading relationship to be \"as close as possible\" and says there would be an \"ambitious, wide-ranging and balanced\" economic partnership. But it does not a set out what the final outcome for UK-EU trade will look like.\n\nThe political declaration refers to an \"ambitious customs arrangement\". The concern, from some, is that this could turn into a permanent arrangement that could prevent the UK from pursuing its own independent trade policy.\n\nThe government dismisses this concern, and argues that there is nothing wrong in wanting ambitious customs arrangements in the future.\n\nTechnology and other alterative arrangements would be considered in order to keep the Irish border open with no physical infrastructure (eg border posts). However, presently, there is no border which the EU shares with a non-EU country that is entirely open and frictionless.\n\nThe UK, according to the document, would take back control of its borders and free movement of EU citizens to the UK (and UK citizens to the EU) would come to an end.\n\nThe document says both sides want to preserve visa-free travel for short-term visits (don't worry about your holidays) but it suggests by implication that visas could be introduced for longer stays.", "Lisa Dorrian was last seen alive at a County Down caravan site on 28 February 2005\n\nA large-scale search operation is under way for Lisa Dorrian at the Ballyhalbert caravan park where she was last seen alive in 2005.\n\nThe search also includes a disused airfield behind the caravan park, and will take in a number of other areas.\n\nMs Dorrian, 25, disappeared after a party at the site and police believe the Bangor shop assistant was murdered.\n\nPolice have pursued more than 3,500 lines of inquiry and carried out almost 400 searches.\n\nA fresh appeal for information about her murder was made on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last year.\n\nNo-one has been charged with Ms Dorrian's killing\n\nPolice have not said why they have returned to the County Down caravan park to conduct the new searches.\n\nDet Supt Jason Murphy, who is leading the investigation, said: \"The determination of the PSNI to bring those who killed Lisa Dorrian to justice is as strong today as it has ever been.\n\n\"The purpose of the search operation is two-fold: Firstly I want to recover Lisa's body and allow the Dorrian family to finally put Lisa to rest.

All the largest firms have committed, with more than 95% of households covered.\"\n\nHe said that customers with providers not in the scheme from Monday could choose to switch to a new provider if they were unhappy with their current service.\n\nHowever, Ofcom added that it was keeping \"a close eye\" on the firms in the scheme.\n\n\"If they don't comply, we'll step in and take action,\" the spokesman said.", "Thousands of Post Offices could become bank branches under Labour Party plans to reform the financial system.\n\nShadow chancellor John McDonnell said a new Post Bank would protect community banking at a time when the big High Street lenders are closing branches.\n\nLabour's proposals also include keeping Royal Bank of Scotland in public ownership, and creating a bank to invest in infrastructure.\n\nMr McDonnell said the changes would promote vital national priorities.\n\nHe estimates that running Post Bank through the Post Office network could create up to 3,600 branches.\n\nLabour has cited research from consumer group Which? which suggested that over the past 30 years the UK has lost nearly two-thirds of its bank and building society branches, from 20,583 in 1988 to just 7,586 today.\n\nThe shadow chancellor said: \"Poor access to local bank branches hurts our town centres and local communities, particularly affecting elderly and more vulnerable customers, as well as damaging the ability of local small businesses to invest.\"\n\nMr McDonnell also said Labour would halt the disposal of the government's 62% stake in RBS so that profits, and the branch network, served communities.\n\nThe bank was rescued by the government in 2008 in the aftermath of the financial crisis at a cost of £45bn.\n\nLast year, RBS announced its first dividend to shareholders since its bailout.\n\nA spokesman for RBS said on Sunday: \"The timing and price of any government share sale is a matter for the Treasury. Our focus continues to be on building a bank that delivers for shareholders, customers and the UK economy.\"\n\nMr McDonnell would also establish a £250bn National Investment Bank and network of Regional Development Banks to invest small business, infrastructure and green technologies.\n\nHe said: \"Finance is the central nervous system of the economy.

which was fronted by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove - was fined in July for spending more than the £7m spending limit.\n\nThe campaign said at the time the watchdog's findings were \"wholly inaccurate\" and politically motivated.\n\nBut on Friday - the day MPs voted on Theresa May's withdrawal agreement - the campaign dropped its appeal, saying it had run out of money to pursue the case.\n\nWhen asked on the Andrew Marr Show if she would apologise, the former Labour MP replied: \"At every stage we were rule-compliant according to the legal advice we were given at the time.\n\n\"Our biggest problem was that we destroyed all our data and therefore some of the evidential basis people were asking for.\"\n\nShe said laws governing spending -

It would ease friction in post-Brexit EU-UK trade relations – but at the same time, they believe MPs are out of touch with reality.\n\nHowever many Brexit options are voted on today in the House of Commons, EU law stipulates that there are only three on the table: no deal, no Brexit, or Theresa May's negotiated deal.\n\nAny other form of Brexit requires the much-disliked Withdrawal Agreement - rejected once again by MPs on Friday - to be passed first.\n\nThe EU is prevented by law from negotiating future trade relations with an existing member state. That is why the UK needs to leave first in order to start these negotiations.\n\nEU leaders understand the reluctance of MPs to enter into a so-called \"blind Brexit\", where you don't know what the future holds. The political declaration document, accompanying the Withdrawal Agreement, is there to give an idea of what might come next.\n\nYes, if MPs unite around a softer Brexit and if Theresa May accepts that wish and communicates it to the EU, Brussels says it can amend the political declaration in a jiffy.\n\nBut - and this is where the EU believing MPs are out of touch with reality really kicks in - the political declaration is just that: a declaration.\n\nIt is not legally binding.\n\nSo a future UK prime minister could opt for a very different Brexit when trade negotiations actually start.\n\nWhich is probably why one of the options being put forward to be voted on today (from Conservative MP Ken Clarke) reads: \"Make it UK law to negotiate a customs union with EU\".\n\nMr Clarke is seeking to restrict the power of the future prime minister to row back on parliament's will if MPs unite around a softer Brexit.\n\nBut time is running out – again.\n\nThe EU has given the UK until 10 April, when it will hold an emergency Brexit summit, to decide what next or to slip - however unintentionally - into a no-deal Brexit.\n\nOn Monday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said EU patience was running out.\n\nIt's hardly a surprising comment, nor the first time an EU leader has said something similar.\n\nBut it goes without saying that the EU wishes MPs had done their Brexit soul-searching, decision-making and recognition of impending trade-offs long before now - the 11th, 12th, or 13th hour.", "West Midlands Police said victims had been lured to Birmingham parkland through the gay dating app\n\nTwo 17-year-old boys have been charged with robbery after three men who had arranged dates using the Grindr app were attacked.\n\nThe victims were targeted in separate attacks on parkland in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, in January and March.\n\nTwo attacks happened off Yardley Green Road on 5 January and 18 March, with a third off Hob Moor Road on 24 March.\n\nOne of the charged boys appeared before city magistrates on Saturday and the other is due to appear on Monday.\n\nWest Midlands Police said three other teenagers, aged between 16 and 18, who were arrested on suspicion of robbery had been bailed \"with strict conditions\".\n\nThe force urged anyone using a dating app to meet people to meet in a \"well-populated public area\", after the victims were targeted in parkland.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "London is one of seven areas where the change to stop and search will be trialled\n\nPolice in England and Wales are being given greater stop and search powers to tackle rising knife crime.\n\nHome Secretary Sajid Javid is making it easier for officers to search people without reasonable suspicion in places where serious violence may occur.\n\nIt comes after fatal stabbings rose last year to the highest point since records began.\n\nBut campaigners said the move was \"disappointing and regressive\" and that stop and search is not effective.\n\nStop and search powers have been controversial for many years, with evidence that they are frequently misused and that they target black people disproportionately.\n\nBut Mr Javid said: \"The police are on the front line in the battle against serious violence and it's vital we give them the right tools to do their jobs.\"\n\nThe change is being trialled in seven police force areas where more than 60% of knife crime occurs: London, the West Midlands, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Wales and Greater Manchester.\n\nIt makes it easier to use so-called \"section 60\" checks, where for a limited period of time officers can search anyone in a certain area to prevent violent crime.\n\nUnder the new rules, inspectors will be able to authorise the use of section 60. Currently, more senior officers have to give approval.\n\nThere will also be a lower threshold. Police will only need to reasonably believe serious violence \"may\" occur, not that it \"will\".\n\nShadow home secretary Diane Abbott said evidence-based stop and search was \"a very important tool for police\".\n\nBut she added: \"Random stop and search is not effective in bringing down levels of knife crime.\"\n\nSection 60 has been used at large events such as Notting Hill Carnival last year and after violent incidents such as the stabbing of a man outside Clapham Common Underground station on Friday.\n\nOther powers which account for the majority of searches will remain the same, and will still require officers to have reasonable suspicion of an offence.\n\nWith 285 deaths from stabbings in 2017-18, the most ever recorded in the UK, ministers have come under increasing pressure to tackle knife crime.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May will host a summit on serious youth violence on Monday.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nMetropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said officers in London had increased the use of section 60 over the past 18 months, following 132 deaths from stabbings in the capital during 2017-18.\n\nShe said: \"Stop and search is an extremely important power for the police. It is undoubtedly a part of our increasing results suppressing levels of violence and knife crime.\"\n\nBut Katrina Ffrench, chief executive of StopWatch, which campaigns against excessive use of stop and search, said: \"This decision is a disappointing and regressive move, which is about politics not saving lives.\"\n\nRemoving the need for reasonable suspicion \"will not only exacerbate the racial disparity, but has the potential to further damage the relationship between the black community and the police,\" she said.\n\nGarvin Snell, an anti-knife crime activist in Hounslow, west London, said that when stop and search was \"used in the correct manner\", there was \"nothing wrong with it\".\n\nBut he added: \"I grew up in an era in the 1990s when you almost felt being young and black was enough to be stopped and searched and I don't want to go back to that environment.\"\n\nHe said some of the extra £100m the government has promised to help reduce knife crime should be used to open more youth centres.\n\n\"A lot of these incidents are happening in poorer parts of London,\" he said. \"Why don't we do something to raise the aspirations of these young people?\"\n\nA data study for the College of Policing into a decade of London stop and searches found them to be \"inconsistent\" and \"weak\" as a deterrent.\n\nThe extra powers reverse a key change made by Mrs May in 2014 as home secretary.\n\nShe introduced a revised code of conduct after an inquiry examined thousands of police searches and found 27% may have been illegal.\n\nWhen misused, stop and search was \"an enormous waste of police time\" and \"an unacceptable affront to justice\", she said.\n\nReflecting on the recent announcement, the prime minister said the powers were \"an important tool in the fight against knife crime\".\n\nIt is vital police have the right tools to do their jobs, Home Secretary Sajid Javid says\n\nJohn Apter, chairman of the Police Federation, welcomed the government's renewed support for stop and search, saying it \"had been lacking for far too long\".\n\nHe said it was a useful and accountable tool for officers to use in tackling knife crime and there was \"no credible alternative\".\n\nPartly as a result of the 2014 changes, the use of stop and search fell in England and Wales from a peak of 1.4m ten years ago to 277,378 last year.\n\nThe numbers of searches fell for every ethnic group, but ethnic and racial inequality has grown.\n\nIn 2014-15 black people were four times more likely to be searched than white people, while in 2017-18, they were 9.5 times as likely to be targeted.", "Former Barclays traders Carlo Palombo and Colin Bermingham have been convicted of Euribor rate-rigging\n\nTwo traders have been jailed after being convicted of conspiring to rig the Euribor global interest rate.\n\nColin Bermingham, 62, and Carlo Palombo, 40, both former Barclays traders, were convicted of conspiracy to defraud.\n\nMr Bermingham received a five year jail term, while Mr Palombo was jailed for four years.\n\nAnother trader, Sisse Bohart, has been acquitted.\n\nThe sentences bring to an end the biggest trial so far for rigging interest rates - in this case the Euribor benchmark used to fix the interest rates of millions of euro-denominated loans.\n\nLisa Osofsky, director of the Serious Fraud Office, said: \"These men deliberately undermined the integrity of the financial system to line their pockets and advance the interests of their employers.\n\n\"We are committed to tracking down and bringing to justice those who defraud others and abuse the system.\"\n\nEuribor is a key euro benchmark borrowing rate, underpinning about $180tn of financial products, and the accuracy of the rate is important to maintaining trust in the financial system.\n\nEvery day, one trader at each bank would estimate the interest rate he or she thought the bank would have to pay to borrow cash from other banks, based on the rates banks were paying that morning.\n\nThe estimates would be submitted to the European Banking Federation (EBF), based on current market transactions. Those submissions would then be averaged and a rate would be published.\n\nIn the 1990s and 2000s, traders routinely requested that the submissions be tweaked up or down by tiny amounts to suit their banks' commercial interests. Banks typically had trading positions or investments that would benefit from higher or lower submissions.\n\nThe traders' defence has been that this was normal commercial practice. The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) says it is corrupt.\n\nDuring the sentencing hearing, Judge Michael Gledhill echoed controversial remarks by Mr Justice Cooke, who presided over the first interest rate rigging trial in 2015 of former UBS trader Tom Hayes, saying he wanted \"a message sent out to the world of banking\".\n\n\"Those convicted of manipulating interest rates will face substantial custodial sentences,\" he said.\n\nMr Hayes was sentenced to 14 years in prison, which was reduced on appeal to 11 and a half years.\n\nJudge Gledhill said it was difficult to understand why Mr Bermingham had become involved in conspiracy, because there was no personal gain to him from accepting requests from traders to put in higher or lower submissions.\n\nBut, he added: \"Part of the answer lies in a desire to help Barclays prosper, and perhaps it is something to do with the desire to be respected by others. Whatever the reasons, you have been convicted of being knowingly and dishonestly involved in this conspiracy.\"\n\nMr Bermingham, Mr Palombo and Ms Bohart were tried a second time by the SFO, after a jury failed to reach a majority verdict in an earlier trial in 2017.\n\nAhead of that trial, Christian Bittar, a former Deutsche Bank trader, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud.\n\nAnother former Barclays trader, Philippe Moryoussef, attended earlier hearings but decided not to attend the trial, with his lawyer saying he could not be confident of a fair trial.\n\nFormer Barclays trader Philippe Moryoussef, centre, was sentenced to eight years in jail in absentia\n\nHe was convicted in his absence and is now a fugitive from British justice.\n\nBoth Mr Palombo and Mr Bermingham were convicted by majority verdicts, with two jurors against a guilty verdict in both cases.\n\nCarlo Palombo's lawyer John Hartley said Mr Palombo and his family were devastated by the outcome.\n\n\"Mr Palombo started at Barclays as a junior trader and was taught by his management from an early stage about making requests of the submission desk,\" said Mr Hartley in a statement.\n\n\"He gave evidence during the trial that this was an ordinary course of business at the bank and there was never an issue of any of his actions being dishonest at that time and that he had received no training on Euribor submissions. No senior members of management were on trial.\"\n\nIn a BBC Panorama programme \"The Big Bank Fix\" in 2017, the BBC revealed a secret recording which implicated the Bank of England in a practice called \"lowballing\".\n\nLowballing occurred during the 2008 financial crisis, when banks artificially lowered their estimates for Libor (the London Interbank Offered Rate) - the dollar and sterling equivalent of Euribor.\n\nIn a statement to the BBC, the Bank of England said Libor was unregulated at the time.\n\nAt the 2016 trials, the SFO said it was investigating lowballing. However, after years of investigation, no prosecution has been mounted.\n\nMr Hayes's case is now with the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) amid growing doubts about the safety of his conviction. The evidence against him also consisted of \"trader requests\" to put in higher or lower libor submissions.\n\nFormer UBS trader Tom Hayes was jailed in 2015 for allegely rigging Libor\n\nHis defence in 2015 was that there were a range of potential submissions, based on the slightly differing interest rates banks were paying to borrow money on any given morning.\n\nRequests to raise or lower it within that range were legitimate, his lawyers argued. Prosecutors dismissed the notion of a range.\n\nHowever, in 2017, at the trial of Barclays traders for rigging rates, John Ewan, the former Libor manager at the British Bankers Association, agreed requests for higher or lower submissions within a range could be acceptable. The two defendants in that trial, Ryan Reich and Stelios Contogoulas, were acquitted.\n\nThe trial of Palombo and Bermingham heard similar evidence from Helmut Konrad, a retired banker who helped set up Euribor in 1999, who told the court in 2018 it was \"okay\" for banks to submit a rate from a number of options that were equally good, even if one rate would be more profitable for the bank.\n\nAt this year's trial, he told the court \"as long as we're talking about the range of permissible rates, it's fine\".\n\nMr Hartley said Mr Palombo was considering an appeal.", "Zakariyya Elogbani (r), pictured with fellow former Westminster student, Ishak Mostefaoui, now also detained in Syria\n\nAn Islamic State fighter held in Syria has told the BBC he was one of at least seven students and ex-students from University of Westminster to join IS.\n\nZakariyya Elogbani abandoned a degree in business management which he was taking at the university in 2014.\n\nAnother student had been studying while on a terror protection order which was made less restrictive by a judge, a BBC investigation has found.\n\nUniversity of Westminster says it takes its safeguarding duty \"very seriously\".\n\nThis is not the first time that students at the university have been linked to violent jihadism - the notorious IS killer Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, studied there until 2009.\n\nThe BBC's investigation now exposes the secret funnelling of fighters and funds from the UK to IS in Syria.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nElogbani, who grew up in east London, was captured by Kurdish forces in Syria nine months ago.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC's Middle East Correspondent Quentin Sommerville, Elogbani said: \"Obviously we came here intending to fight. That's the honest truth. But I don't think it was a love for blood.\"\n\nHe said there was a group at University of Westminster who had already left for Syria before he even began his studies.\n\n\"They kind of opened the way,\" he added.\n\nMohammed Emwazi appeared in videos in which he killed Western hostages\n\nThat may have been a reference to Mohammed Emwazi, who studied information systems at the university and left for Syria in 2013. He became infamous after appearing in videos in which he killed Western hostages. Emwazi died in a missile strike in November 2015.\n\nElogbani denied knowing him but admitted seeing another of the British kidnap gang, known as The Beatles, in Syria.\n\nAnother former University of Westminster student who went to Syria was Akram Sabah, a recruitment consultant who left the university in 2011 with a degree in biomedical sciences.\n\nHe and his older brother Mohammed were killed in fighting in September 2013.\n\nAkram Sabah (r), pictured with his brother Mohammed, finished his Westminster University degree in 2011\n\nThe BBC investigation reveals that Elogbani travelled with fellow Westminster student Ishak Mostefaoui.\n\nHis Algerian family had settled in London when Mostefaoui was five. He was a popular, football-loving boy, brought up in a home that was opposed to extremism but his father, Abderrahmane, told the BBC that his son changed in 2013.\n\nHe believes his son was radicalised by people at University of Westminster.\n\nIn April 2014 Mostefaoui told his father that he was going to Amsterdam for a few days, leaving with just a small bag. The family did not hear from him for a month when he called to say he was in Syria. His father says he collapsed when he heard the news.\n\nAround five months ago, Mostefaoui had his British citizenship revoked. Two months later he was badly injured when his house was bombed in an attack in which his wife and young son were killed. He is currently in detention.\n\nElogbani says another three fellow students left around the same time as him and have since been killed.\n\nHe claims one, Ibrahim, was killed in the siege of Raqqa, while Abu Talha \"died in the desert of Anbar\" and Abu Ubaydah was killed in Tikrit, Iraq.\n\nThe BBC has not been able to establish all of their identities but one of them was Qasim Abukar, a hardened jihadist who previously fought with a militant group in Somalia.\n\nAbukar became a student at University of Westminster in September 2012.\n\nHe played a key role in radicalising Elogbani, according to friends who have spoken to the BBC but do not wish to be identified.\n\nAbukar had been known to security services for years.\n\nMI5 had warned that allowing Qasim Abukar more contact with fellow students would increase the risk he posed\n\nHe absconded from Britain to Somalia during a trial in 2009, in which he was accused of attempting to travel to Afghanistan for terrorism. He was acquitted in his absence.\n\nA separate High Court appeal heard that in Somalia, Abukar was \"involved in fighting\" alongside the militant group al-Shabaab and tried to recruit fighters in the UK for overseas operations. The court was told he was \"potentially involved in attack planning\" against Western interests.\n\nIn 2011, after a period in custody in Somalia, he returned to the UK claiming he had been mistreated with the knowledge of the British state.\n\nHe was placed on a control order and a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure, or TPIM, to restrict his movements.\n\nTPIMs can be imposed on terror suspects, who officials decide can neither be charged nor deported, but who are nevertheless assessed to be potentially involved in terrorist-related activities.\n\nDespite being described in court as having played a \"substantial role\" in his extremist network, Abukar began studying at University of Westminster a year later.\n\nBecause he had \"a track record of absconding\", he had to report daily to a local police station and wear an electronic tag.\n\nBut in April 2013 he won an appeal to reduce one of the restrictions on his movements when a High Court judge permitted him to interact more with fellow students, despite warnings from MI5 that it would mean \"the risk of him engaging in terrorism-related activity\".\n\nThis was in the period during which people close to Elogbani and Mostefaoui noticed their views were becoming extreme.\n\nThey have told the BBC that Abukar was one of the people involved in radicalising them.\n\nAnother key extremist at University of Westminster was Abukar's brother Makhzumi.\n\nHe is serving a seven-year jail term after pleading guilty in 2016 to a million-pound fraud to steal the savings of pensioners.\n\nThe scheme was uncovered by Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command, who suspected the money was being funnelled to extremists in Syria.\n\nCourt documents, seen by the BBC, reveal that when his home was searched in July 2014, only weeks after Elogbani and Mostefaoui had left the UK, notes found in his jacket recorded a series of financial transfers to a town on the Turkish/Syrian border known as ISIS International, because of its popularity as a handover point for foreign jihadists.\n\nMakhzumi Abukar was jailed for seven years after pleading guilty in 2016 to a million-pound fraud\n\nBBC News has learned of another student, Mohamed Jakir, who was killed in Syria.\n\nHe was reportedly studying law at Westminster University but BBC News has not been able to confirm that.\n\nIf true, it would take the overall number of fighters from the university to at least eight.\n\nJakir was killed in 2014, seven weeks after crossing into Syria.\n\nA University of Westminster spokesperson told the BBC that the university \"has a strong pastoral and interfaith focus providing care and support to its community of 20,000 students from more than 150 countries\".\n\nIn 2015 it commissioned an independent report after details emerged that Emwazi had been a student there.\n\nFiyaz Mughal, one of the authors of that report, told the BBC: \"The university failed to understand its duty of care around confronting and countering extremist views.\n\n\"But more importantly it didn't even understand its duty of care and didn't understand the concept of things like Islamism and extremism.\"\n\nMughal was concerned that the Islamic Society at the university, in which Elogbani was active, was \"allowed to run its own fiefdom\" where women and LGBT students were treated with hostility.\n\nThe BBC has spoken to former members of the university's Islamic Society, who deny that there was a culture of extremism.\n\nUniversity of Westminster says it has a strong pastoral and interfaith ethos\n\nMeanwhile Elogbani, stripped of his British citizenship, waits to find out his fate.\n\nHe cuts a forlorn figure in detention in Syria, having lost his legs in what he says was a missile attack in 2015.\n\nHis is a cautionary tale of the price paid for supporting Islamic State.\n\n\"I committed a crime by coming here,\" he said. \"I guess I need to be punished.\"\n\nHe had a warning for other people, who, like him, may be attracted to extremism.\n\n\"Anyone that's still immersed by Islamic State methodology is wrong.\n\n\"It's a gang.

Germany - the bloc's largest economy - had a PMI reading of 44.1, the lowest for more than six-and-a-half years.\n\nItaly's PMI of 47.4 was a near six-year low, while France's manufacturing sector also contracted, having seen some growth the month before.\n\n\"The March PMI data indicate that the eurozone's manufacturing sector is in its steepest downturn since the height of the region's debt crisis in 2012,\" said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit.\n\n\"Concerns over trade wars, tariffs, rising political uncertainty, Brexit and - perhaps most importantly - deteriorating forecasts for the economic environment both at home and in export markets, were widely reported to have dampened business activity and confidence.\n\n\"Cost cutting has become more evident as firms grow more risk averse, notably with respect to hiring. Job losses were reported in both Germany and Italy, where the downturn in demand is doing the most damage.\"", "The Metropolitan Police said each victim appeared to be \"selected at random\" for being \"alone and vulnerable\"\n\nFour people have been stabbed in a spate of \"cowardly and senseless\" attacks in north London that police believe could be linked.\n\nOver a period of nearly 10 hours, the woman and three men were approached from behind and knifed in the back as they walked alone in Edmonton.\n\nThe victims appeared to have been selected randomly, police said. Two are in a critical condition.\n\nTwo men have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.\n\nThe first suspect was detained just before 11:00 BST in Fore Street, Edmonton, with police saying that inquiries were continuing to establish if he is the person behind the stabbings.\n\nThe second man, aged in his 40s, was arrested later on Sunday at a residential address in Edmonton.

Parliament doesn't know what it wants and we still have lots of different tribes and factions who aren't willing to make peace.\n\nThat means that by the day, two things are becoming more likely. One, leaving the EU without a deal. And two, a general election, because we're at an impasse.\n\nOne person who doesn't think that would be a good idea is former foreign secretary and Brexiteer Boris Johnson.\n\nHe told me going to the polls would \"solve nothing\" and would \"just infuriate people\". He also said that only somebody who \"really believes in Brexit\" should be in charge once Theresa May steps down. I wonder who that could be...\n\nLiberal Democrat Norman Lamb told BBC Look East he was \"ashamed to be a member of this Parliament\" and hit out at MPs in his own party - five of whom voted against a customs union and four of whom voted against Common Market 2.0.\n\nHe said the Commons was \"playing with fire and will unleash dark forces unless we learn to compromise\".\n\nBut prominent Brexiteer Steve Baker said he was \"glad the House of Commons has concluded nothing\".\n\nHe said the prime minister must now go back to the EU and persuade them to rewrite the withdrawal deal - something they have so far refused to do - otherwise the choice was between no deal or no Brexit.\n\nSenior figures in the EU, though, showed their frustration at the latest moves in Westminster.\n\nEuropean Parliament Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt tweeted that by voting down all the options, a \"hard Brexit becomes nearly inevitable\".\n\nBBC Europe editor Kayta Adler said the mood in Brussels was one of disbelief - that the UK still does not seem to know what it wants.\n\nShe said EU leaders were also questioning the logic of arguing over things like a customs union or Common Market option at this stage, because right now, the UK has only three options as they see it - no deal, no Brexit or Theresa May's deal - and anything else is a matter for future talks once the UK has actually left.\n\nUse the list below or select a button", "Russell Bucklew argued that his medical condition would make death by lethal injection extremely painful\n\nThe US Supreme Court has ruled that a convicted murderer on death row in Missouri has no right to a \"painless death\".\n\nThe ruling clears the way for the execution of Russell Bucklew, who asked for gas rather than lethal injection, citing an unusual medical condition.\n\nBucklew, 50, argued the state's preferred method amounts to legally banned \"cruel and unusual punishment\".\n\nThe 5-4 ruling split along the court's ideological lines.\n\nBucklew was sentenced to death in 1996 for rape, murder and kidnapping in an attack against his ex-girlfriend and her new partner and six-year-old son.\n\nIn recent court filings, Bucklew argued that his congenital condition, cavernous hemangioma, might cause him excessive pain if he is put to death by lethal injection.\n\nThe condition causes blood-filled tumours in his throat, neck and face, which he said could rupture during his execution causing him extreme pain and suffocation.\n\nAccording to Bucklew, he would feel excessive pain if the state executioner is allowed to use the state's preferred method of a single drug, pentobarbital, applied by needle.\n\nBut the Supreme Court's conservative justices said on Monday they considered the legal effort to be a stalling tactic.\n\nThey said it was up to the prisoner to prove that another method of execution would \"reduce a substantial risk of severe pain\", but he had not done so.\n\nWriting for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that Bucklew had been on death row for more than 20 years.\n\n\"The eighth amendment [to the US constitution] forbids 'cruel and unusual' methods of capital punishment but does not guarantee a prisoner a painless death,\" wrote Justice Gorsuch, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017.\n\nHe continued: \"As originally understood, the eighth amendment tolerated methods of execution, like hanging, that involved a significant risk of pain, while forbidding as cruel only those methods that intensified the death sentence by 'superadding' terror, pain or disgrace.\"\n\nLiberals on the court, including Justice Stephen Breyer, argued that Bucklew's condition should have allowed for him to be put to death by nitrogen gas, a method allowed in three states.\n\n\"There are higher values than ensuring that executions run on time,\" wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a separate opinion, adding that secrecy in the death penalty process has recently yielded different results in two similar cases.\n\nIn one case in Alabama, a Muslim man was forbidden from having an imam with him during his execution, but the court halted a similar sentence after an appeal by a Buddhist who wanted his spiritual adviser present when he was put to death.\n\nIn Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion in the Bucklew case, he referred to those two cases, saying the inmate in Alabama had been given ample time to voice his complaint, but chose to do so only 15 days before he was scheduled to die.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Chris Leslie: 'We must fight for those who signed petition'\n\nA petition calling for the UK to stay in the EU, which has amassed more than six million signatures, has been debated in Parliament.\n\nThe petition, demanding Article 50 be revoked, is the most popular since the e-petitions site launched.\n\nTwo other petitions were debated in the Westminster Hall chamber.\n\nOne, demanding a new referendum, has over 180,000 signatures. The other, urging MPs to \"honour the referendum result\", has more than 170,000.\n\nThe government has said it will not revoke Article 50 and it is working to deliver a deal that \"ensures the UK leaves the EU\".\n\nBut MP for the Independent Group, Chris Leslie, called for the debate to be moved to the Commons, not \"simply nodded through\", as is customary in Westminster Hall.\n\nHe told MPs: \"It is now our duty, faced with this six million petition, to not have it pigeonholed and side-lined here in Westminster Hall, but to take those views and have that voice heard in front of the government.\n\n\"Not just a junior minister, but the prime minister and senior cabinet ministers need to hear the voices of the people.\"\n\nArticle 50 is the legal mechanism through which Brexit is taking place - and revoking it would therefore keep the UK in the EU.\n\nThe petition to revoke it was started in February and quickly passed the 100,000-signature threshold needed for it to be debated in Parliament.\n\nBy 23 March, the petition had been signed four million times, at one stage causing Parliament's petition website to crash.\n\nDuring the debate, Labour's Catherine McKinnell said that \"no petition has received the number of signatures this petition has\".\n\nShe said, while it \"doesn't replace our normal democratic processes\", it \"simply is a reflections of level of interest in this issue and strength of feeling from the public\".\n\nMs McKinnell added: \"We ought to be very grateful that they have their means to make their voices heard. This petition is a roar.\"\n\nAnother MP for the Independent Group, Heidi Allen, used her contribution to call for a public vote on Brexit, saying it would be \"healing\" for the nation.\n\n\"Involving the entire country in the decision... there can be nothing more healing than that,\" she said. \"Everybody's voice is equal because that is a democracy.\"\n\nBut Tory MP Julian Lewis used the debate to press for the UK to leave without a deal and to go onto World Trade Organisation terms.\n\n\"I, together with 158 of my colleagues - more than half of the Tory party - voted that we should leave on WTO terms and I think that should be the right solution.\"\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nThe UK had been due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, two years after Article 50 was triggered, but European leaders agreed to delay the date, after Theresa May failed to get her Brexit deal approved by MPs.\n\nThe European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled last year that the UK could revoke Article 50 itself, without having to ask the other 27 EU countries for permission.\n\nBritain's ambassador to the EU, Tim Barrow (L), delivers Mrs May's formal notice of the UK's intention to leave the EU to European Council President Donald Tusk\n\nIn 2016, after the UK voted to leave the EU, by 52% to 48%, in the referendum on 23 June, a petition for another EU referendum attracted more than four million signatures and was debated in the Commons - but thousands of signatures were removed after it was discovered to have been hijacked by automated bots.\n\nIn January 2019, MPs debated whether the UK should leave the EU without a deal, after a petition calling for that reached 137,731 signatures.\n\nPeople signing petitions on the website are asked to tick a box saying they are a British citizen or UK resident and to confirm their name, email address and postcode.", "When does determination become delusion?\n\nNumber 10's answer to that may be \"not yet\".\n\nThere is every chance that the prime minister will again - with routes outside the normal boundaries - try to make a version of her Brexit deal the end result of all of this.\n\nDespite a third defeat, despite the embarrassment of repeated losses, don't imagine that she is ready to say a permanent farewell to the compromise deal she brokered with the EU or, straightaway, to her time in office.\n\nThere is still a belief in the heart of government that there could be a way round, perhaps to include the prime minister's agreed treaty as one of the options that is subject to a series of votes that will be put in front of the Commons next week.\n\nThe aspiration, strange as it sounds, for some time now has been to prove to MPs that the deal is the least worst of all the options, for time to expose the impossibilities of the new compromises some MPs seek politically for the Tory party, and for the cost of a long delay to Brexit to be too great to allow Parliament to find a new way too.\n\n\"I fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this House,\" said Mrs May after the defeat\n\nThose allies the prime minister still has do believe - from the bunker - that there is still a chance to salvage something that looks like the prime minister's deal from the wreckage.\n\nMeaningful vote two and a half was another defeat - but the numbers of those against Number 10 were falling away.\n\nTime - and stubbornness - may yet prove energetic critics wrong.\n\nBut is the coping strategy of \"just keep trying\" realistically enough?\n\nAsk Tory MPs and you hear a variety of \"we're stuffed\", \"she's over\", \"it's a disaster\".\n\nLabour MPs are simply not yet moving in the numbers Downing Street had long hoped for.\n\nRecent attempts to reach out have provoked more frustration than collaboration. And with the timetable for Brexit slipping away, the prime minister might soon be forced to conclude that the deal she believed in is truly gone.\n\nThere may never be a moment of compromise with her at the helm.\n\nTheresa May never wanted to be only the Brexit prime minister.\n\nBut the entrenched divisions she inherited, and the miscalculations that have led her to this point, mean the eventual outcome of this chaos will not just be up to her, and will forever mark her moment in charge.", "Sunday's episode of Line of Duty was the most-watched show of 2019 so far, according to overnight figures.\n\nThe first instalment of series five was watched by 7.8 million viewers. That also made it the most-watched episode in the history of the police drama.\n\nIn comparison, series four's opener was seen live by 5.4 million, with the finale watched by 7.5 million.\n\nThe series five premiere went up against Victoria on ITV, with the period drama attracting 3.1 million.\n\nLine of Duty's return follows the success of writer Jed Mercurio's other hit show, Bodyguard, the opening episode of which was seen live by 6.6 million last year. Its finale drew a record-breaking 10.4 million viewers, according to overnight ratings.\n\nRochenda Sandall (left) and Stephen Graham (second from right) are part of a criminal gang\n\nLine of Duty's series five opener, which was described by its star Martin Compston as \"the scariest yet\", received largely glowing reviews.\n\nThe Times critic Carol Midgley gave it four stars and wrote: \"[Jed] Mercurio knows how to begin an episode and is a master at ending one, last night giving us two final shocks like successive thwacks to the head.\n\n\"It is a dependable, wily machine, superior in my view to Mercurio's other baby, Bodyguard.\"\n\nNo love lost: Sandall reveals there is a rivalry between her character and Graham's\n\nThe Guardian's Lucy Mangan gave it a maximum five stars.\n\n\"As ever, nothing is wasted; not a scene, not a line, not a beat,\" she wrote. \"For every morsel of information gathered by the team and by the viewer, another turn reveals 100 hidden possibilities.\n\n\"It fits together flawlessly - you can imagine Mercurio sitting like a watchmaker at his table with the parts spread before him and fitting the loupe to his eye before assembling the whole thing and listening for its perfectly regulated tick.

Belfast has been a fantastic home for Line Of Duty, says writer Jed Mercurio\n\nAnd he praised the addition of Steven Graham to the cast. \"Graham, a compact parcel of Scouse gelignite, doesn't tend to play softies, so his simmering aggression felt all too credible.\"\n\nHe did sound a note of caution though. \"Elsewhere there were hints that the script is overcooking itself... and how cartoonish were those silly biker villains seeking their long-lost drugs?\" he wrote.\n\nExpress reviewer Neela Debnath wrote: \"Episode one has all the verve and energy we've come to expect from Line of Duty but season five also feels like it's now a continuation of a much bigger story that fully emerged at the end of the series four finale.\"\n\nMetro gave the BBC One drama five stars. Keith Watson wrote: \"Few actors do menacing and brooding better than Stephen Graham and he's perfectly cast as John Corbett, a man on a short fuse with a steely coldness to his eyes and a way of making everything he says drip with sinister threat.

The chief whip, whose official title is parliamentary secretary to the Treasury, is appointed by - and answers to - the prime minister. Julian Smith, the MP for Skipton and Ripon, was appointed chief whip by Theresa May in November 2017. His role is to maintain party discipline and attempt to ensure members of the party vote with the government in important debates. Along with the other party whips, he looks after the day-to-day management of the government's business in Parliament. The chief whip is a member of the cabinet. It is customary for both the government and the opposition chief whips not to take part in parliamentary debates.\n\nNone of MPs' eight proposed options secured a majority in the first set of indicative votes on 27 March, but those that received the greatest support were a customs union with the EU and a referendum on any deal.\n\nMrs May's deal is opposed by parties including Northern Ireland's DUP - which the government relies upon for support - as well as a group of her own MPs.\n\nThe DUP has said it will not vote for the deal as it believes it could threaten Northern Ireland's place in the UK.\n\nThe party's Brexit spokesman, MP Sammy Wilson, said it would not back it even if Mrs May brings it for a vote in the Commons \"1,000 times\".\n\nThe Brexit Storm: Laura Kuenssberg's Inside Story will be broadcast on Monday 1 April at 21:00 BST on BBC2", "The man died at the scene in Church Road\n\nA 22-year-old man has died after suffering knife and gunshot wounds in east London.\n\nHe was attacked in Church Road in Manor Park, Newham, shortly before 21:30 BST on Monday.\n\nThe Metropolitan Police said officers found the victim suffering from his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.\n\nNo arrests have been made, but police believe the man was attacked by three males.\n\nDet Insp Alison Cole said: \"At this early stage we believe that the victim was approached by three males who inflicted the injuries and fled in the direction of Browning Road.\"\n\nAn eyewitness said the victim's mother visited the scene just after the attack.\n\nUddin Gias, 49, said: \"Two Somalian boys were standing by the police tape - they told me his mother was in a parked car just there\".\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

In March there were 96 medicines on the list, known as price concessions - double the number last autumn.\n\nThe Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) warned MPs in December that there were supply shortages due to several factors, including Brexit contingency planning. The Committee indicates the situation has become more acute since then.\n\nWhile noting that there have always been fluctuations in the number of medicines which are in short supply, PSNC chief executive Simon Dukes added: \"Community pharmacies are reporting increasing problems sourcing some generic medicines for their patients.\"\n\nThe government told the pharmaceutical industry to build up stockpiles of six weeks' supply of medicines, as part of contingency planning for a no-deal Brexit.\n\nOther measures - including the chartering of ferries and aircraft - have been adopted by officials.\n\nA Department of Health spokesperson said: \"We are confident that, if everyone does what they need to do, the supply of medicines should be uninterrupted in the event of a no-deal.\"\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.

What to expect from new BBC thriller The Victim\n\nThe stars of new BBC One legal thriller The Victim believe viewers will be hooked from the start.\n\nThe drama focuses on how the law is dealing with social media being used to \"out\" suspected criminals.\n\nKelly Macdonald stars as the mother of a murdered child who is accused of illegally identifying a suspected killer online.\n\nThe Trainspotting and Boardwalk Empire star is joined in the line-up by former Rebus actor John Hannah.\n\nThe four-part show airs on consecutive nights from Monday to Thursday and the stars hope it will spark a debate about how people get their news.\n\nJohn Hannah told BBC Scotland's The Nine programme: \"I think people will get hooked on the show right from the get-go, and they will find themselves instinctively making choices about the characters. Who's right, who's wrong - and then switching.\"\n\nKelly Macdonald plays Anna Dean, whose nine-year old son was murdered 15 years ago. She is accused of revealing her son's killer's new identity online and conspiring to have him murdered.\n\nShe said: \"Anna is a mother, a family woman, who has had a very tragic thing happen to her years before. She may or may not be guilty of a crime.\"\n\nMother-of-two Kelly said making the show was an emotional challenge - but filming in her native Glasgow helped.\n\nShe said: \"It was brilliant. I got to sleep in my own bed every night.\"\n\nIn the show, hard-working family man Craig Myers, played by James Harkness, is the victim of a vicious attack after he is accused of being the boy's killer.\n\nJohn Hannah plays DI Grover, an experienced detective investigating the attack on Myers and trying to discover who made the online accusation against him.\n\nMonday night's first episode was set on day one of a criminal trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.\n\nJohn Hannah's character tries to get to the bottom of who the real victim is\n\nThe Victim follows the legal proceedings, while also covering the events leading up to the trial.\n\nJohn Hannah said: \"It starts in court and you see what's happening pretty much right away. And then there's the parallel story of the past and how things have unfolded to get to where they are.\n\n\"Everyone will have a very emotional connection to the show as they watch it.\n\n\"People will make decisions and then over the four episodes they'll question how they have done that.\n\n\"If that sort of thing happens in a broader sense with the news and the media, then that's good.\"\n\nJames Harkness plays Craig Myers who may or may not have a sinister past\n\nThe show's creator Rob Williams says Craig and Anna are pitted against each other, but viewers' sympathies will be divided.\n\nNew potential suspects will be revealed and long-buried secrets are unearthed as the story builds to find out who really is The Victim.\n\nWriter Williams says The Victim is not based on a true story, and is not inspired by any one case in particular.\n\nAsked about \"parallels\" with the 1993 murder of two-year-old James Bulger and subsequent attempts to expose the new identities of his 10-year-old killers Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, Williams said: \"Well it's not based on any one case, on any existing case.\n\n\"It explores a territory that, sadly, there are many cases in which juveniles have committed horrific offences, and not been named for legal reasons. Some of whom have been given new identities.\n\n\"So it's a territory we explore - it's not about any single case. It's hopefully a very even-handed treatment of a very emotive issue, and it is entirely fictional.\"\n\nThe Victim is on BBC One at 21:00 from Monday to Thursday this week.", "British cosmetics firm Lush is closing several of its UK social media accounts this week.\n\nAnnouncing the news on Twitter, it said it was \"tired of fighting with algorithms\" and did not want to \"pay to appear\" in newsfeeds.\n\nThe firm, which sells fragrant handmade soaps, bath bombs and other body products, asked customers to contact it by email, phone, or via its website.\n\nLushUK has 202,000 Twitter followers and 569,000 on Instagram.\n\nMore than 423,000 have liked the page on Facebook.\n\nThat account name will close on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram along with Lush Kitchen, Lush Times, Lush Life, Soapbox and Gorilla.\n\n\"We don't want to limit ourselves to holding conversations in one place, we want social to be placed back in the hands of our communities - from our founders to our friends,\" it said in a statement.\n\nHowever, Lush North America tweeted that its channels would remain in operation.\n\nThe firm said it was \"cutting out the middleman between ourselves and the Lush community\".\n\nIt also hinted that it would be trying a new social approach - and it suggested a hashtag for those wishing to chat with it.\n\nMike Blake-Crawford from marketing agency Social Chain said the hashtag hinted at \"more work with influencers\".\n\n\"The challenge for me is how they adequately capitalise on this conversation without a centralised social media 'home' for their products and campaigns,\" he said.\n\nOther marketers expressed surprise at the move.\n\nBeauty and fashion blogger Leah tweeted that she could not \"fathom\" why Lush was shutting down an Instagram account with 568,000 followers.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

But, for profiles of deceased users that have not yet been memorialised, Facebook said it would use AI to stop those accounts from appearing in unexpected places as well.\n\nFacebook also announced other tweaks to how dead people are represented on the network.\n\nMemorialised accounts will now have a separate “tributes” tab for people to leave condolences and memories, a move that would leave the deceased’s timeline intact.\n\nContent posted as tributes can be moderated by a person’s “legacy” contacts. These are other Facebook users who they have designated as a trusted person or persons, who can take over in the event of their death.\n\n\"Legacy contacts can now moderate the posts shared to the new tributes section by changing tagging settings, removing tags and editing who can post and see posts,” Ms Sandberg explained.\n\n\"This helps them manage content that might be hard for friends and family to see if they’re not ready.”\n\nUnder-18s cannot nominate a legacy contact, but parents or guardians of children who have died can contact Facebook to request access.\n\nSome of these changes have come in response to abuses of its systems, such as a “prank” in which users would falsely tell Facebook someone had died, locking that user out of their account, and causing friends distress.\n\nDo you have more information about this or any other technology story?

wondering whether their political rivals really are genuine about finding common cause.\n\nGuess what, just for a change, the leaderships of both of the main Westminster parties are dealing with boiling tensions on their front and back benches.\n\nAnd they both have reasons to tiptoe towards each other in these cross-party talks, but both sides too have reasons to tread carefully.\n\nIn truth, both sides are serious that they could possibly get serious about a deal, but the obstacles are significant.\n\nThe Tories have still not, and may never feel able to offer a clear promise of pursuing a customs union.\n\nWhat sources familiar with the talks say the focus is right now, is trying to point out to Labour that the existing deal contains the possibility of shaping that kind of arrangement in the future.\n\nIrony upon irony, the backstop which the government has been protesting about for so long provides the ingredients for exactly that kind of relationship with the EU in the long term.\n\nThat is precisely why Brexiteers hated it so much - because they feared (correctly perhaps) it might be used as the basis on which to build the kind of tight trading deal with the EU they seek to avoid.\n\nFor the prime minister to overtly pursue such a deal is already provoking fury in parts of her party - although it's also striking now how frustrated some middle of the road Tory MPs are - fed up of what they see as both \"extremes\", hogging the oxygen and holding everything up.\n\nBut unless and until Theresa May is ready to give a firmer commitment on customs, it is hard to see how Labour would be ready to sign on the dotted line.\n\nAlthough the two sides will meet again in the next 24 hours, Jeremy Corbyn again has expressed his view that the government hasn't shifted any of those red lines.\n\nAnd even if that were to happen, there are (at least!) two other big blocks to success.\n\nThere is deep anxiety in the Labour Party about being able to trust anything that is agreed.\n\nThe government's already promised that they could change the law to give guarantees in the Brexit implementation bill.\n\nBut both sides admit privately even if they came up with some kind of \"lock\", it's just not feasible to rule out any future prime minister ever unpicking the deal.\n\nIn a different era this might not be such a problem.\n\nBut the prime minister has already said that she will quit, and quit once the deal is done.\n\nSo of course, Labour MPs are very nervous about how the promises made in these talks could last.\n\nThat's whether the next leader were to be Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab , Jeremy Hunt or frankly, the Queen of Sheba - it's about the permanence of any promise.\n\nAnd, as I understand it, the two groups, even with serious intention, have not as things stand been able to come up with a formula that guards against this.\n\nSecond of all, officials and politicians in the discussions have talked about the possibility of another referendum on the EU - whether you call it a \"confirmatory vote\", a \"ratificatory referendum\", or a \"people's vote\" - another chance for all of us to have a say.\n\nThis has not though yet been a big focus of the talks - it seems like an issue that has been danced around the edges.\n\nHere's the thing: a hefty chunk of the Labour Party is adamant that they will only back a deal if it comes with a promise of another referendum.\n\nAnd that opinion among Labour backbenchers has been hardening, not softening in recent weeks.\n\nSo even if the talks can find away around the customs conundrum, and then find a \"lock\" to make Labour comfortable with any promises that are made, there is a third profound dilemma.\n\nNumber 10 has always made it abundantly clear that the prime minister believes that's a nightmare not worth contemplating.\n\nThe problem for these talks is that for a big chunk of the parliamentary Labour Party that's the dream they are pursuing.\n\nThere are others who disagree, and disagree profoundly.\n\nBut in terms of making this process work, the Labour Party's votes can't be delivered in one big chunk.\n\nWith huge political imagination, invention, (whose mother after all they say is a necessity, and there's certainly a necessity right now), it is of course possible that this process could get there.\n\nIn this long tangled process a lot of things that have seemed impossible can in the end come to pass.\n\nBut just as both sides in these talks are serious, the problems are serious too.", "Chief Constable George Hamilton is to retire in the summer\n\nThe job of chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland has been advertised, with new oversight built in to the recruitment process.\n\nThe aim is to identify the next holder of the £207,000-a-year post by May -

Administrators take over the running of the business to protect creditors and shareholders lose their investments.\n\nIf Debenhams does use a pre-pack administration, Mr Ashley's near 30% stake in the company, which cost about £150m to build up, would be wiped out.\n\nWhile the shops would continue trading for now, Debenhams has proposed closing around 50 branches from next year and renegotiating rents with landlords to tackle its funding problems.\n\nDebenhams has been struggling for a while and issued three profit warnings last year.

Even that seems unlikely to shift the retailer from the course it's currently on, as it sounds like the department store is preparing to enter administration imminently.\"", "Theresa May is holding last-minute Brexit talks with the French President Emmanuel Macron, with the UK due to leave the EU in three days' time.\n\nThe UK PM will urge Mr Macron to back her request to delay Brexit again until 30 June, having earlier met German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.\n\nAfter the talks, Ms Merkel said a delay that runs to the end of the year or the start of 2020 was a possibility.\n\nThere is a summit on Wednesday when all EU states will vote on an extension.\n\nCross-party talks in Westminster aimed at breaking the impasse in Parliament finished, with both sides expressing hope there would be progress.\n\nA draft EU document circulated to diplomats ahead of the emergency meeting of EU leaders proposes an extension but leaves the date blank.\n\nThe BBC's Brussels correspondent Adam Fleming said the document refers to an extension lasting \"only as long as is necessary and, in any event, no longer than XX.XX.XXXX and ending earlier if the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified\".\n\nEuropean Council president Donald Tusk said there was \"little reason to believe\" that the ratification process of the withdrawal agreement could be completed by the end of June.\n\nIn a letter to EU leaders, he said at Wednesday's summit members should discuss \"an alternative, longer extension\" that will be flexible and \"would last only as long as necessary and no longer than one year\".\n\nThe UK is currently due to leave the EU at 23:00 BST on Friday.\n\nDowning Street said Mrs May and Ms Merkel discussed the UK's request for an extension of Article 50 - the process by which the UK leaves the EU - to 30 June, with the option to bring this forward if a deal is ratified earlier.\n\nThe prime minister and Chancellor Merkel agreed \"on the importance of ensuring Britain's orderly withdrawal\", a statement said.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

They hope there is one, although they're not convinced.\n\nThey want to know, if they say yes to another Brexit extension, what it will be used for.\n\nAnd they suspect Theresa May wants them to do her dirty work for her.\n\nEU diplomatic sources I have spoken to suggest the prime minister may have officially asked the EU for a short new extension (until 30 June) as that was politically easier for her back home, whereas she believed and hoped (the theory goes) that EU leaders will insist instead on a flexible long extension that she actually needs.\n\nThe bottom line is: EU leaders are extremely unlikely to refuse to further extend the Brexit process.\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nIf no cross-party compromise can be reached, Mrs May has committed to putting a series of Brexit options to the Commons and being bound by the result.\n\nThis could include the option of holding a public vote on any deal agreed by Parliament.\n\nTory MP and government aide to the chancellor, Huw Merriman, said he backed a \"People's Vote\" to secure the public's support for the prime minister's deal.\n\nSpeaking at a rally for the campaign, he said it was \"seriously wrong\" that he had been threatened with the sack, and said he wanted another vote in order to \"get this country through the mess we are currently in\".", "Theresa May had last-minute Brexit talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday\n\nThe request for delay is an answer to one question.\n\nWhen confronted with the possibility of taking the UK out of the EU without a formal deal in place or slamming on the brakes, which way would the prime minister jump?\n\nWould she choose a pure plan - pursuing Brexit over the risk of instability?\n\nOr would Theresa May heed the voices of warning, rather than those in her own party arguing that any short-term pain would be worth long-term gain, and ask for delay, despite the embarrassment of doing so, and the frustration of those who wanted her to keep the promise of leaving on time?\n\nMrs May kept many in Westminster guessing for a long time.\n\nBut her meetings in Europe, her plea on Tuesday, are evidence of the decision she finally took - that almost any entreaties to European leaders are worth it to avoid opening Pandora's Box. Pausing again brings embarrassment and angers many on her own side, but it's a lesser evil than departing with no deal.\n\nIf the prime minister is granted a strings-attached delay later, the next question is perhaps as big.\n\nWhat will she do with the extra time she's been granted? Will it even be up to her?\n\nCross-party talks with the Labour Party are serious - both sides in the room are taking part in good faith and expect more negotiations on Thursday.\n\nBut the more talking they do, the more the scale of the task to bring them together reveals itself.\n\nForget a quick solution from this joint process, and don't bank on one happening at all.\n\nThe divisions may simply be too great - the moment when it might have worked perhaps has passed.\n\nIf that fails, then the answer may pass again, back to Parliament - MPs confronted again with the power to choose from a wide array of different choices - with the ability, if not yet the common purpose to choose a version of Brexit for all of us.\n\nAnd of course, if a long delay is agreed it could push hungry Tories who want a change of leadership again into action.\n\nBut the obvious response to another question is crystal clear - who is in charge for today?\n\nIt's the EU leaders who will determine the date and nature of this delay - not the country that voted in an effort to pull back control.", "Cherry blossom represents the nature of life and a season of renewal in Japanese culture.\n\nLast year, the season attracted nearly five million people and boosted the economy by about $2.7 billion, according to figures from Bloomberg.\n\nEach spring, \"Hanami\", or \"flower viewing\", events and festivals are held, with many people picnicing under the trees to enjoy the flowers' transient beauty.", "Officer Cappell responded to a call of a choking baby in Culver City, California.

but his network may have made more than £4m.\n\nQaiser, 24, was jailed for more than six years at Kingston Crown Court.\n\nThe court heard he is the most prolific cyber criminal to be sentenced in the UK.\n\nJudge Timothy Lamb QC said: \"The harm caused by your offending was extensive - so extensive that there does not appear to be a reported case involving anything comparable.\"\n\nHis jail sentence of six years and five months is a second major success for the National Crime Agency (NCA) after the jailing earlier this year of a British man who broke an entire nation's internet.\n\nQaiser was first arrested almost five years ago - but the case has been delayed because of the complexity of the investigation and mental health concerns.\n\nScam: Qaiser tricked users into thinking they were going to be prosecuted\n\nInitially working from his bedroom at his family home in Barking, Qaiser began to make money through \"ransomware\" attacks when he was only 17 years old.\n\nThis is a form of attack in which a computer is hijacked and frozen by a small piece of software until the user pays a fee for its release.\n\nMillions of these attacks occur every day around the world - the most well-known example in the UK is the \"Wannacry\" attack on the NHS in 2017.\n\nQaiser contacted the Russian controller of one of the most potent attack tools and agreed a split of his profits if his planned blackmail operation was a success. In turn, he forged contacts with online criminals from China and the USA to help shift the cash.\n\nQaiser was filmed cashing in some of his money at a casino\n\nOver 18 months, the teenager posed as a legitimate supplier of online promotions and booked advertising space on some of the world's most popular legal pornography websites.\n\nBut each of the adverts that was promoted on the websites contained a malicious tool called the \"Angler\".\n\nAny visitor to the adult site who clicked on one of Qaiser's fake adverts would trigger the download to their own computer of the attack kit.\n\nIf the home computer was not protected with up-to-date anti-virus software, the Angler would search for vulnerabilities and, if possible, deliver the \"ransomware\" that seized control of the machine.\n\nIt immediately splashed a full screen message to the user, purportedly from the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, accusing the user of breaking the law - warning them they faced up to three years unless they paid an immediate fine equivalent to roughly $200 or £100.\n\n\"Out of fear of embarrassment from friends or family members discovering they had accessed pornography, many users paid the ransom,\" prosecutor Joel Smith told Kingston Crown Court.\n\n\"For obvious reasons very few people complained to law enforcement officials.\"\n\nFBI scam: Victims saw a different bogus law enforcement page depending on their location\n\nTo make thing worse, the warning page claimed that police had captured webcam images of the user during their visit to the adult website - and gave a deadline for the payment to be made.\n\nThe National Crime Agency says that it's impossible to know exactly how many people paid up - but forensic data has revealed Qaiser's operation was enormous.\n\nOne screen grab from his control system reveals that he made £11,000 in July 2014 alone.\n\nQaiser's \"control panel\" showed his ransom demands hit 16,000 PCs in just one month\n\nIn a sampling exercise, the NCA calculated just one of the fake adverts appeared on 21 million web browsers every month - including 870,000 appearances on pornography pages accessed in the UK.\n\nIn turn, the attack kit would have been downloaded on approximately 165,000 PCs. Some 5% of those - about 8,000 users - were likely to have fallen victim to the ransom demand.\n\nFinancial investigators have established that Qaiser's operations shifted at least £4m through a string of crypto-currency platforms - although a great deal of these profits were ploughed back into the scam by buying more and more advertising space.\n\nThe NCA's financial investigators identified that the former computer sciences student had personally received almost £550,000 by the time of his arrest.\n\nDuring the lengthy investigation while he was on bail, detectives found he received a further £100,000 as his associates moved funds through Gibraltar and Belize to a UK-accessible online account.\n\nQaiser is believed to have more stashed in online crypto-currencies because he revealed in online chats that he has further \"offshore savings\".\n\nHe was also filmed in an internet cafe\n\nMike Hulett, head of cyber investigations at the National Crime agency, said: \"We regard Zain Qaiser as probably the most significant cyber crime offender that the NCA has investigated.\n\n\"The sheer volume and complexity of the actions - the number of people he is connected with worldwide and the frequency of his operation made it so successful and led to him making the money that he did.\n\n\"I don't think we will ever know the true number of people who paid up.\"\n\nDuring his offending, Qaiser had no legal income - but he maintained a high-rolling lifestyle.\n\nHe spent almost £5,000 on a Rolex watch and £2,000 on a stay in a Chelsea hotel. He regularly spent money on prostitutes, drugs and gambling, including almost £70,000 in a casino in an upmarket shopping centre.\n\nWhile it appears that no users of adult websites directly alerted police anywhere in the world, the advertising brokers who unwittingly placed Qaiser's malware promotions did.\n\nWhen a Canadian company selling advertising space asked Qaiser to stop, he launched a massive cyber attack against it, causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage to the business.\n\n\"Really, it's just better if we work together,\" warned Qaiser in one message to the broker.\n\n\"We can make some serious money together. It's my way or no way. The K!NG is back.\"\n\nElizabeth Lambert, defending, said that Qaiser had suffered from bouts of mental illness and was influenced by older, more experienced organised cyber criminals.\n\nQaiser initially denied the crimes and claimed he had been hacked, before pleading guilty to 11 charges - including blackmail, fraud, computer offences and possessing criminal property.\n\nThe ransomware offences were committed between 2012 and 2014.", "Part of the netting put up over cliffs to stop sand martins nesting is to be removed after the RSPB warned birds could get trapped and die.\n\nNorth Norfolk District Council put the nets up at Bacton as part of a scheme to reduce coastal erosion and encourage the birds to nest further along the coast.\n\n\"Minimum levels [of netting] will be retained to assist in progressing with this critical project to protect people's homes and national infrastructure,\" a council spokesman said.\n\nThe RSPB said it was pleased some of the netting had been removed but more action was needed.", "Sony describes the giant 16K display as acting like a \"window to the world\"\n\nThe biggest 16K screen of its kind will shortly go on show in Japan.\n\nSony's display has four times as many horizontal pixels as a 4K television and eight times that of a regular 1080p high definition TV, meaning it can show images in far more detail than normal.\n\nThis will let viewers stand close to the unit - which is longer than a bus - without its image looking blurred.\n\nOne expert said it would likely take decades for 16K tech to filter down to consumer products.\n\nThe 63ft by 17ft (19.2m by 5.4m) screen is currently being installed at a new research centre that has been built for the Japanese cosmetics group Shiseido in the city of Yokohama, south of Tokyo.

These displays are incredibly impressive in person - even 8K on a big display is almost mesmerising.\n\n\"When you get to this resolution it delivers almost a quasi-virtual reality experience as your eyes perceive there to be depth to the content.\"\n\nSony had previously designed a separate 16K display that went on show at Tokyo's Haneda Airport in 2014, but that looked like it was made up of dozens of smaller screens rather than presenting a single seamless picture.\n\nSony built an ultra-wide 16K display for Haneda Airport five years ago\n\nThe new \"super-size\" installation has in fact been created out of several modular panels, but because they do not have bezels they can be fitted together without any visible gaps to create the impression of being a single screen.\n\nSony calls the technology \"Crystal LED\", which is its brand name for micro-LED display tech. Samsung is also experimenting with the format.\n\nThe innovation does not require a backlight, but goes much brighter than OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens while still delivering similar deep blacks. At present, however, the high manufacturing costs involved make it too expensive for widespread use.\n\nFor now, Sony is pitching a range of smaller, lower-resolution Crystal LED displays for use in office lobbies, car showrooms, cinemas and theme parks.\n\nSince little 16K footage exists elsewhere, the firm has produced its own film for Shiseido showing life-size animal wildlife.\n\nIt has not disclosed the method involved, but has previously achieved what is known as \"quad ultra-high definition\" footage by using a method called demosaicing.\n\nThis involves applying an algorithm to 8K footage to deduce what the additional pixels should look like, similar to the way 4K TVs sometimes up-sample 1080p footage.", "The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 and is now in an 11-month transition period.\n\nDuring this period the UK effectively remains in the EU's customs union and single market and continues to obey EU rules.\n\nHowever, it is no longer part of the political institutions.

But critics have pointed out that the UK wishes to have the freedom to diverge from EU rules so it can do deals with other countries - and that makes negotiations more difficult.\n\nIt's not just a trade deal that needs to be sorted out.

He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years in March 2017.\n\nIt later emerged that 13 other women had reported him to police for stalking.\n\nAt his sentencing, Mr Justice Nicholas Green said officers had \"jumped to conclusions\" and \"stereotyped\" Miss Grice.\n\nAssistant Chief Constable Nick May said: \"We deeply regret the tragic death of Shana Grice in 2016 and are committed to constantly improving our understanding of stalking and our response to it.\n\n\"When we looked at the circumstances leading to Shana's murder, we felt we may not have done the very best we could and made a referral to the IOPC.\"\n\nSarah Green, co-director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: \"The police watchdog findings that Sussex Police failed and that there will be misconduct hearings are welcome, but much more is needed.\n\n\"Numerous inquests and inquiries have found that multiple police forces have failed to protect women who were murdered.\"\n\nThe report also called on the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) for a single definition for stalking to be adopted by police forces and government departments.\n\nSussex Police has been given three months to make improvements.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Families have waited more than five years for an FAI to be held\n\nThe pilot of the police helicopter that crashed into the Clutha pub, killing 10 people, had received five low fuel warnings, a fatal accident inquiry has heard.\n\nAt 22:19 on 29 November 2013, David Traill, who was among those who died, had told air traffic control he was returning to Glasgow City Heliport.\n\nAt 22:22, the Police Scotland helicopter crashed through the roof of Glasgow's Clutha bar.\n\nThirty one people were also injured.\n\nThe court heard that at the point Mr Traill said he was returning to the Clyde heliport from Bothwell, the helicopter was estimated to have 86kg of fuel on board.\n\nMarcus Cook, senior inspector of air accidents at the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), said that, as well as a warning unit, the pilot also had a screen known as a Caution and Advisory Display (CAD).\n\nIt should have indicated the amount of fuel in the main tank, the left supply tank and the right supply tank.\n\nMr Cook said: \"The evidence suggests the CAD was functioning at the time.\"\n\nThe helicopter's warning unit had two indicators of note in relation to the fuel. They were \"Low Fuel 1\", which related to the level of fuel in the tank supplying the left engine, and \"Low Fuel 2\", which covered the right engine.\n\nDuring the final flight the court heard the pilot received and acknowledged five fuel warnings.\n\nThe pilot received three intermittent Low Fuel 1 warnings before a fourth, which remained on for the rest of the flight.\n\nHe also received a single Low Fuel 2 warning which he acknowledged. It also remained on for the remainder of the journey.\n\nMr Cook told the hearing he would have expected the pilot to make a PAN call - which would have indicated he had a fuel issue - \"long before the final stages of the flight\".\n\nHe said: \"The one thing you always keep an eye on is how much fuel you have on board, how much endurance you have available.\"\n\nHe said that if a pilot believes he is going to go below final fuel reserve he should make a mayday call.\n\nThe witness said police helicopter pilots had an \"acute fuel awareness\" due to the non-routine nature of their work.\n\nMr Cook told the court that every time a fuel warning illuminated on the helicopter's dashboard it should have been accompanied by an \"audio gong\" which would be heard by anyone on board. The warning must be acknowledged and suppressed by pressing a button.\n\nHe added that the pilot was instructed on the technicalities of the helicopter's fuel system during his initial conversion training in 2008. This included the requirement to land within 10 minutes of being presented with a low fuel warning.\n\nThe court heard an excerpt from the AAIB report which noted that at the time of the accident in November 2013, the EC135 model of aircraft had accumulated more than three million flying hours over 20 years. It added: \"There had not previously been a reported instance of fuel starvation.\"\n\n(Top: left to right) David Traill; PC Kirsty Nelis; PC Tony Collins; Gary Arthur; Samuel McGhee (Bottom: left to right) Colin Gibson; Robert Jenkins; Mark O'Prey; John McGarrigle; Joe Cusker\n\nMr Cook said the pilot received three low rotor speed warnings and made some attempt to manage the rotor output before the crash. The FAI was told the warnings are triggered when the speed dips below 97% but if it drops below 75% it is \"irrecoverable\".\n\nMr Cook agreed with Sean Smith QC that it would be an \"unusual event\" for a pilot to experience an engine flame out. Asked about the probability of a double engine flame out, the witness replied: \"More unusual\".\n\nAnd he agreed that David Traill was an experienced pilot and had spent 646 hours at the controls of an EC135 helicopter.\n\nAt the time of the crash the helicopter had 76kg of fuel on board.\n\nAsked by Donald Findlay QC, who is representing the family of Robert Jenkins, if that would have been enough - under normal circumstances - for it to reach the Glasgow City Heliport, Mr Cook replied: \"Probably.\"\n\nIn October 2015 a report from the AAIB concluded the pilot did not follow emergency protocol and flew on despite the low fuel warnings.\n\nIt also found fuel transfer pumps were turned off and a controlled landing was not achieved for \"unknown reasons\".\n\nAnd it recommended that all police helicopters should be equipped with black box flight recording equipment.\n\nMore than 100 people were in The Clutha when the Eurocopter EC 135, operated by Bond Air Services, crashed into the bar.\n\nPilot David Traill, 51; PC Tony Collins, 43; and PC Kirsty Nelis, 36, lost their lives along with seven customers who were in the bar on Stockwell Street.\n\nThey were Gary Arthur, 48; Joe Cusker, 59; Colin Gibson, 33; Robert Jenkins, 61; John McGarrigle, 58; Samuel McGhee, 56; and Mark O'Prey, 44.\n\nThe second day of the hearing earlier heard that AAIB investigators had received nothing \"new or significant\" enough for the original investigation to be reopened despite being sent various documents over the years.\n\nPhilip Sleight, deputy chief inspector of air accidents at the AAIB, told the court that the AAIB's purpose was to investigate the circumstances of an accident and make recommendations with the intention of preventing a reoccurrence.\n\nHe said the focus of the AAIB was \"encouraging safety\" not \"apportioning blame\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nMr Findlay asked who the relatives could speak to about differences between the draft and final report.\n\nMr Sleight said the differences could not be discussed because of regulations. Mr Findlay asked if the families of those who died just have to accept that. Mr Sleight replied \"yes\".\n\nMr Sleight told the inquiry: \"It is quite normal for a report to change significantly between draft and final.\"\n\nMr Cook, who was part of the team that prepared the AAIB report, told the court about the communication on board helicopter.\n\nHe said it was the responsibility of the pilot to liaise with Air Traffic Control. Separately, the Police Scotland Airwave system was used for operational purposes.\n\nHe told the hearing both means of communication were recorded.\n\nThe helicopter's last journey was traced by radar. It left Glasgow at 20:45 to respond to reports of someone being struck by a train at Oatlands. It then travelled to Dalkeith for a routine task before carrying out surveillance in Bothwell, Uddingston and Bargeddie.\n\nThe FAI, which is being held in a temporary court at Hampden Park football ground, has now adjourned for the day and will resume on Wednesday.\n\nIt is expected to hear about three months' worth of evidence between now and August but it will not sit every day.", "This wolf was photographed in a wildlife park in Germany. But wild German wolves have been crossing the border into the Netherlands\n\nThe Netherlands has its first resident wolf population in 140 years, according to ecologists.\n\nWolves were hunted out of many European countries over a century ago but have gradually been migrating back across the continental mainland.\n\nOccasional wolf sightings have been made in the Netherlands since 2015.\n\nBut these animals were previously thought to be animals that had crossed over temporarily from Germany and would subsequently return there.\n\nEcologists from campaign groups FreeNature and Wolven in Nederland have been tracking two females in the Veluwe area, collecting wolf prints and scat (droppings) from which they can identify DNA.\n\nPresenter Tom Heap holds a box containing wolf excrement found in the Netherlands\n\n\"It's like Tinder,\" said ecologist Mirte Kruit, \"it can say if it's a male or female, are they single and looking for a mate and [tell you] about their family.\"\n\nThey've told BBC Radio 4's Costing the Earth that their data now confirms one of the females has stayed continuously for six months and can now be considered \"established\".\n\nA male has also been seen in the area so the first Dutch wolf pack could be months away. They are still collecting data on the second female.\n\nThe Alpes de Haute Provence region has some 22 wolf packs\n\nWolves are controversial, however. In France, since returning from Italy in 1992, populations have grown rapidly. Sheep and goat farmers say they're suffering rising attacks, with around 12,000 incidents reported.\n\nFarmers can receive compensation if they have protection measures in place, like electric fences or guard dogs, but many are still angry about the damage caused to the flock.\n\nThe French Government formed a cohabitation plan and in February last year set a target wolf population of 500 by 2023. However, it's thought this number may be reached or surpassed by this Winter. France is proposing to increase the cull rate from 12% to 17% if that's confirmed.\n\nWolves are protected under the Berne convention and can only be killed under specific circumstances.\n\nCosting the Earth presenter Tom Heap travelled to Alpes de Haute Provence to meet some of those affected. The region has 22 wolf packs - the largest of any region - and last year the region saw 700 attacks.\n\nFarmer Simon Merveille said he witnessed one of his goats being eaten by wolves.\n\nMr Merveille believes farmers should be allowed to kill wolves that attack livestock\n\n\"I was astonished because when I fired a warning shot they just stayed looking at me - they did not leave,\" he explained.\n\nMr Merveille is happy for wolves to remain in France but believes farmers must be allowed to kill them when they attack livestock.\n\nAndre Maurelle and Ingrid Briclot, who also farm in the region, saw three wolves killing five of their sheep and taking a sixth.\n\nThey have now installed 12km of electric fences and have an apprentice shepherd, Mady, who is used to guarding cattle from lions and snakes in Mali.\n\n\"We have to learn to cohabit,\" said Mr Maurelle.\n\nBack in Holland, Wolven in Nederland have been working since 2008 to prepare the Dutch people for this very moment - the return of the wolf to the country.\n\nEcologist Roeland Vermeulen says settled wolves are more likely to eat deer or wild boar. Sheep, on the other hand, are \"like junk food\", taken by roaming wolves or those less experienced at hunting.\n\nHe thinks the Netherlands has room for 22 packs - each of 5-8 wolves. Whether the country can learn from others and find a suitable balance will become apparent in the years to come.\n\nCosting the Earth: The Wolf is Back is on BBC Sounds and on Radio 4 tomorrow at 9pm BST.", "Daisy Goodwin said Victoria was \"nothing more than a line of sandbags\" against Line of Duty\n\nThe writer of ITV's Victoria has said it's \"demoralising\" to go up against Line of Duty in the TV schedules.\n\nThe dramas have gone head-to-head at 21:00 on Sunday for two weeks, but the BBC show has come out on top so far.\n\nScheduling is a \"dark art\" practised by \"Machiavellian types\", Daisy Goodwin wrote in Radio Times magazine.\n\nVictoria's third season premiered in the US before its recent UK debut, and Goodwin said she hoped the fourth would go out simultaneously around the world.\n\nShe told Radio Times the staggered release felt \"analogue\", urging broadcasters to echo streaming services with \"a truly global shared experience\".\n\nHer show, which traces the life of Queen Victoria, has lost out in the overnight ratings to Line of Duty since the fifth series of the BBC police drama began on 31 March.\n\nAdrian Dunbar, Martin Compston and Vicky McClure all returned for the new series of Line of Duty\n\nThe opening episode of Line of Duty pulled in an average of 7.8 million viewers, compared with 3.1 million for Victoria.\n\nOn 7 April, Line of Duty dropped slightly to 7.1 million, but was still significantly ahead of Victoria's 3.0 million audience.\n\nGoodwin said: \"It's a dark art, scheduling, and it can be very demoralising for people who have dedicated themselves to making something special to realise that for the scheduler your carefully-honed drama is nothing more than a line of sandbags against Bodyguard 2 or, in Victoria's case, Line of Duty.\"\n\nGoodwin's comments come as the divide between traditional and digital release schedules has come under the spotlight in recent weeks.\n\nThe second series of BBC hit Killing Eve has already begun in the US on BBC America - a subscription television network jointly owned by BBC Studios and AMC - but a date for the UK premiere is yet to be announced.\n\nThis contrasts with release strategies in which entire series are released in full around the world on streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.\n\nGoodwin said that while she understood that \"die-hard\" fans of her ITV show may have already streamed the complete series online in the UK \"in ways that are quite possibly illegal\", she hoped many would still watch in the \"old-fashioned way\".\n\n\"In these days of the box-set binge, where you can emerge bleary-eyed, wondering where the last six hours went, I rather love a dainty morsel of television that leaves you wanting more,\" she said.\n\nGoodwin also revealed that the next series of Victoria - starring Jenna Coleman - is already in production and will be \"the darkest yet\".\n\nThe writer said she hopes \"the gods of scheduling look favourably upon it and decide to put it out simultaneously with the US broadcast\".\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

But this only covered about 800 direct employees.\n\nLloyd's is made up of thousands more people and independent operators. The organisation says there are about 40,000 pass holders who have access to the building.\n\nNow, anyone deemed under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be barred from the building. Security guards will have the right to confiscate passes of anyone breaching the new rule.\n\nThe on-site bar will become a coffee shop. A hotline is being set up to expose bad behaviour. Anyone found responsible for sexual harassment risks being banned for life.\n\nBut not everyone sees this as the answer.\n\n\"The problem has been exaggerated and the response is unnecessary,\" says a smoker loitering not too far from Lloyd's landmark building.\n\nTom wouldn't give his surname, and wouldn't even confirm that he worked at Lloyd's. But he certainly knew about the recent reports of sexual misconduct and the new promise to act.\n\n\"You're telling people they can't have a couple of pints at lunchtime,\" he says. \"Lloyd's is a people business. We don't operate dangerous machinery.\"\n\nAnd yet, that there was something rotten going on inside Lloyd's isn't in doubt. Last month, the Bloomberg news agency revealed a catalogue of sexual and verbal misconduct claims, with many fuelled by alcohol abuse.\n\nA picture was painted of an archaic institution whose culture was out-of-date, even by the standards of its neighbours in the financial district.\n\nLloyd's boss John Neal, who took over six months ago, called the reports \"distressing\", adding: \"No one should be subjected to this sort of behaviour, and if it does happen, everyone has the right to be heard and for those responsible to be held to account.\"\n\nThe organisation knows that banning booze won't stop bad behaviour. It is, though, seen as an important signal in what Lloyd's says is a \"bigger action plan\" to improve the culture over time.\n\nAlthough some people might argue Lloyd's is over-reacting, in the City of London there are plenty of workers who agree that the organisation needs to modernise.\n\nIn a square near the firm's headquarters, a group of young men are playing table tennis. Well-dressed, in regulation dark suits, they say they work in banking, not insurance. They point to their takeaway sandwiches as evidence.\n\n\"Lloyd's has a bit of a reputation for long lunches,\" says one. \"A lot of that disappeared years ago in other parts of the City.\"\n\nMany objections seem to focus on a resentment at being told what to do.\n\nIn a nearby pub, three men are drinking - one a large glass of wine and the other two have pints, but they're of orange juice and Coca-Cola.\n\n\"We're having a [computer] screen break - but we are discussing business. We're adults. If we drink responsibly, why should our employer lay down the law on what we do?\"\n\nThere's a divide between generations too they point out: younger professionals avoid alcohol so they can go to the gym after work, or simply because they lead healthier lifestyles.\n\nAt another local pub the assistant manager agrees habits have changed in the 15 years she's worked in the trade. \"I see far more men drinking soft drinks, not just at lunchtimes but after work,\" she says.\n\nThere is still a hardcore, though, who drink. Her pub - she didn't want it identified - actually opens at 7am.\n\n\"There will be people - regulars - waiting outside at opening time to come in for a drink,\" she says.\n\nHaving a drink after work, perhaps? No, she says. There's a man who has a couple of pints of lager, and a woman who downs a couple of vodkas (not so easy to smell on her breath, apparently) before work. \"It's more common than you might think.\"\n\nThese people may be functioning alcoholics, whose behaviour may not be affected by a booze ban at work. But it's not just drink, she says.\n\n\"I've seen more responsible drinking over the years, but a rise in drugs. If you don't take cocaine, people these days seem to think there's something wrong with you.\"\n\nWhat does she think of the Lloyd's security guards who will be on the frontline of trying to impose a no drink or drugs policy?\n\nIt could be a challenge. \"It's not always easy to spot, and it's not always easy to deal with when you do spot it.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

She was made a life peer in 2010.\n\nShe was speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday after a new study on divorce was published last week.\n\nThe research, carried out at the University of Exeter and sponsored by Baroness Shackleton, suggested that asking 10 questions before starting a serious relationship can help couples stand the test of time.\n\nIt comes in the wake of the case of Tini Owens, a woman who lost her Supreme Court appeal last week in her fight to divorce her husband.\n\nMrs Owens, 68, wants a divorce on the ground she is unhappy but her husband Hugh has refused.\n\nTini Owens has been refused a divorce by the family court and Court of Appeal\n\nUnder the current law in England and Wales, unless people can prove their marriage has broken down due to adultery, unreasonable behaviour or desertion, the only way to obtain a divorce without a spouse's consent is to live apart for five years.\n\nSpecialist lawyers have called for the introduction of a \"no-fault divorce\", which would have helped Mrs Owens.\n\nBaroness Shackleton said that couples currently have to \"exaggerate or to agree\" to get a divorce.\n\nBut she said \"it is no good just changing divorce laws to dissolve the marriage\" and that reform is also needed on laws around sorting out finances during a divorce.\n\nShe is supporting a bill proposed by her fellow peer Baroness Deech which could replace the current system for splitting money in divorce cases.\n\nBaroness Shackleton said she is supporting the University of Exeter research \"with a hope that education... will devote just a little time to get students to focus on what is the most important decision they make, which is basically who they breed with\".\n\n\"[Marriage] is a practical arrangement which has to survive to rear children,\" she said.\n\n\"And it's the children who are the very sad losers when parents are selfish and decide their own desires override those of their family.\"\n\nShe added: \"What I think should happen is that people should understand that when they are entering this commitment which is meant to be for life.\"\n\nShe said people should be \"aware of some of the traits that you can't change in people\".\n\n\"You can't make a mean person fundamentally generous,\" she said. \"You can't make a kind person fundamentally unkind.\n\n\"If they think about these things - not about the white dress or escape from home, or many other reasons, not the love element - [but] the practicality of marriage before entering into it, I'd probably be doing myself out of a job more often.\"", "Corrin said she \"will strive to do her justice\"\n\nNewcomer Emma Corrin has been cast as Princess Diana in the fourth season of The Crown.\n\nNetflix confirmed the decision in a press release, adding filming will begin later this year.\n\nIn an accompanying quote, Corrin said she was \"beyond excited\" to be joining the show - a dramatised history of the British monarchy.\n\n\"Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring,\" she said.\n\nThe Crown's creator Peter Morgan described Corrin as a \"brilliant talent\" who \"immediately captivated\" casting directors.\n\nThe actress is set to make her film debut in Misbehavior, a historical drama following a group of of women from the Women's Liberation Movement as they attempt to disrupt the 1970 Miss World beauty competition in London.\n\nShe becomes the latest actress to join the revolving cast of The Crown, as the show jumps forward in time with different stars playing the Royals every two seasons.\n\nOscar-winner Olivia Colman takes over as the Queen in the next series\n\nSeason three — set to debut in late 2019 — will see Olivia Colman take over Claire Foy's role as Queen Elizabeth and focus on the Harold Wilson era between 1964-1970.\n\nCorrin, meanwhile, will begin by dramatising Princess Diana's failed marriage to Prince Charles during the years of Margaret Thatcher's government.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nPrincess Diana died in a car accident in August 1997 and her death sparked an outpouring of public grief.\n\nNetflix's content chief Ted Sarandos has previously said the plan is for the show to run for six seasons, spanning the Queen's entire life.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

He said it would bring 6,500 jobs and generate £360m for the local economy.\n\nHe continued: \"It's vital that we focus on those projects that offer the best return on investment for our communities, our economy and for the future of North Lanarkshire.\"\n\nMuch of the Ravenscraig site has already been redeveloped - it includes a massive sports facility and a college. But a significant part is still derelict.\n\nRavenscraig is one of Europe's largest brownfield regeneration sites and accounts for about an eighth of the Glasgow City Region's vacant and derelict land.\n\nRavenscraig Ltd, who own the site, have a masterplan that will be considered by North Lanarkshire Council in the coming weeks. It includes plans for:\n\nThe £1.13bn Glasgow City Region City Deal is an agreement between the UK government, Scottish government and eight local authorities across Glasgow and the Clyde Valley.\n\nThe money is being used to fund major infrastructure projects and to boost employment. Other aims include improving public transport and connectivity and generating billions of pounds of private sector investment.\n\nThe Scottish and UK governments, who have committed more than £500m each to the deal, welcomed the news.\n\nScottish Secretary David Mundell said the UK government had \"an ambitious goal of creating jobs and opportunities and stimulating long-lasting growth for local communities\".\n\nHe added: \"This project has the potential to transform Ravenscraig and will help to attract significant private sector investment to bring new homes and businesses to the site.\"\n\nMichael Matheson, the Scottish government's infrastructure secretary, said: \"I am pleased to see North Lanarkshire Council and the wider Glasgow City Region continue to drive this deal forward and work together in the best interests of the regional economy.\"", "European Council president Donald Tusk says the EU should consider offering the UK a \"flexible\" delay to Brexit of up to a year, with the option of leaving earlier if a deal is ratified.\n\nHe said there was \"little reason to believe\" a Brexit deal would be approved by the extension deadline UK PM Theresa May has requested - 30 June.\n\nWriting to EU leaders, he said any delay should have conditions attached.\n\nIt is up to EU members to vote on the proposals at a summit on Wednesday.\n\nA draft EU document circulated to diplomats ahead of the emergency summit also proposes an extension but leaves the date of the proposed new deadline blank.\n\nThe BBC's Brussels correspondent Adam Fleming said the document referred to an extension lasting \"only as long as is necessary and, in any event, no longer than XX.XX.XXXX and ending earlier if the withdrawal agreement is ratified\".\n\nThe UK is currently due to leave the EU at 23:00 BST on Friday.\n\nSo far, UK MPs have rejected the withdrawal agreement Mrs May reached with other European leaders last year, so she is now asking for the leaving date to be extended.\n\nMeanwhile, Mrs May has been meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin for talks ahead of the summit.\n\nAfterwards, Ms Merkel said a delay that ran until the end of this year or the start of 2020 was a possibility.\n\nMr Tusk said granting the 30 June extension that Mrs May is seeking \"would increase the risk of a rolling series of short extensions and emergency summits, creating new cliff-edge dates\".\n\nAnd if the European Council did not agree on an extension at all, \"there would be a risk of an accidental no-deal Brexit\", he said.\n\n\"One possibility would be a flexible extension, which would last only as long as necessary and no longer than one year, as beyond that date we will need to decide unanimously on some key European projects.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. There was no-one to greet the PM as she arrived to meet the German chancellor for Brexit talks in Berlin\n\nMr Tusk said the EU would need to agree on a number of conditions to be attached to any proposed extension, including that there would be no re-opening of negotiations on the withdrawal agreement.\n\nHe said the UK should be treated \"with the highest respect\" and \"neither side should be allowed to feel humiliated\".\n\nBBC Europe editor Katya Adler said the EU's draft conclusions \"should be taken with a big pinch of salt\" as EU leaders could \"rip up the conclusions and start again\" on Wednesday.\n\nShe said the fact that the length of delay had been left blank in the conclusions shows EU leaders were still divided on the issue.\n\nTheresa May met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris for last-minute talks ahead of Wednesday's EU summit\n\nDowning Street said Mrs May had discussed the UK's request for an extension of Article 50 - the process by which the UK leaves the EU - until 30 June, with the option to make it shorter if a deal is ratified earlier, with both Ms Merkel and Mr Macron.\n\nThe prime minister and Chancellor Merkel agreed on the importance of ensuring Britain's orderly withdrawal, a statement said.\n\nMrs May and Mr Macron also discussed next month's European Parliamentary elections, with the prime minister saying the government was \"working very hard\" to avoid the need for the UK to take part as it is supposed to if it is still a member of the EU on 23 May.\n\nFollowing a meeting of the EU's General Affairs Council in Luxembourg, diplomats said \"slightly more than a handful\" of member states spoke in favour of delaying Article 50 until 30 June but the majority were in favour of a longer extension.\n\nEU leaders are curious to hear the prime minister's Plan B. They hope there is one, although they're not convinced.\n\nThey want to know, if they say, \"Yes,\" to another Brexit extension, what it will be used for.\n\nAnd they suspect Theresa May wants them to do her dirty work for her.\n\nEU diplomatic sources I have spoken to suggest the prime minister may have officially asked the EU for a short new extension (until 30 June) as that was politically easier for her back home, whereas she believed and hoped (the theory goes) that EU leaders will insist instead on a flexible long extension that she actually needs.\n\nThe bottom line is: EU leaders are extremely unlikely to refuse to further extend the Brexit process.\n\nMeanwhile, the latest round of talks between Labour and the Conservatives aimed at breaking the impasse in Parliament have finished for the day with both sides expressing hope there would be progress.\n\nThey are hoping to reach compromise changes to the Brexit deal agreed by Mrs May that could be accepted by the Commons, with Labour pushing for the inclusion of a customs union.\n\nThat would allow tariff-free trade in goods with the EU but limit the UK from striking its own deals.

Near misses on Highlands roads captured in dashcam footage\n\nDashcam footage has emerged of drivers narrowly avoiding head-on crashes with cars being driven on the wrong side of roads in the Highlands.\n\nThe videos have been uploaded to social media amid a local campaign to remind tourists to drive on the left.\n\nSharon Anslow set up the Keep Left campaign after she was injured in a crash with a tourist's car in Skye in December last year.\n\nThe dashcam footage, believed to show tourists from overseas, was taken by drivers as they drove on Highland roads in day-time and in darkness.\n\nIn the videos, cars can be seen coming head-on on the wrong side of the road, including at a corner in the dark.\n\nMs Anslow said she tried to avoid a car on the wrong side of the road while she drove to work in Portree on 29 December.\n\nHer car was pushed into a ditch by the side of the road.\n\nShe was freed from the wreckage by firefighters and suffered bruising and a sprained ankle in the crash.\n\nThe other driver involved received a fixed penalty notice following the accident.\n\nMs Anslow drives past the scene of her accident almost every day.\n\nShe told BBC Scotland: \"It's terrifying. I relive the moment all the time and try to figure out if I could have done anything differently, but I couldn't have done.\"\n\nSharon Anslow said other people had told her of near misses on Highlands roads\n\nAfter the accident, other people told her of similar incidents, leading to her setting up the Keep Left campaign to improve safety on roads across the Highlands.\n\nMs Anslow said: \"So many people contacted me after my accident saying: 'It happened to us'. Even earlier that day of my accident it had happened to somebody else.\n\n\"I really felt like I had to make a good thing out of a bad thing.\"\n\nShe said the campaign was not about \"knocking tourism\" in the Highlands, but trying to make the roads safer for everyone - both visitors and residents.\n\nLocal police, councillors and MSP Ms Forbes have been working on the campaign.\n\nPortree-based Sgt Bruce Crawford, of Police Scotland, said given the large numbers of visitors attracted to Skye and the wider Highlands area the number of accidents was low.\n\nBut he said some of the accidents that did occur were serious.\n\nMs Anslow was freed from the wreckage of her car by firefighters\n\nSgt Crawford said: \"Quite often these collisions are caused by inattention, people who are probably spending time looking at the scenery as opposed to paying attention to the road.\n\n\"We want to urge people to take that bit more time looking at the landscape while the car is stopped, and then getting back into the car driving mode when they have got back into the car and back on the road.\"\n\nMs Forbes, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, has called on Highland Council, Transport Scotland and VisitScotland to help in the effort to improve road safety.\n\nShe said: \"As a frequent driver in the Highlands, footage of cars driving on the wrong side of the road is a matter of concern.\n\n\"There are no easy fixes and that's why I've taken a number actions since the Keep Left campaign was launched.\"\n\nShe added: \"There is a need for additional signage and road lines, so long as it does not clutter the road and risk additional distractions.\n\n\"Highland Council committed to doing that before the tourist season and Transport Scotland have agreed to meet me in the Highlands at the peak of the season.\"\n\nHighland Council said improved road markings were to be added to 18 miles (28km) of its roads, including Skye's A863 Sligachan-Dunvegan, A850 Borve- Dunvegan and A855 Portree road.\n• None Crash survivor in 'keep left' campaign", "Ministers and their shadow counterparts will continue cross-party talks on Tuesday, Downing Street has said, as they try to break the Brexit deadlock.\n\n\"Technical\" discussions among officials took place on Monday evening.\n\nSources indicated the PM had not accepted Labour's customs union demand, but there was a move towards changing the non-binding political declaration.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn said there had been no change in the government's \"red lines\".\n\nA Downing Street spokesman said the government was \"committed to finding a way through\" which requires both sides \"to work at a pace\".\n\nThe UK is currently due to leave the EU at 23:00 BST on Friday.

Sergio Aguero stepped up, but keeper Hugo Lloris saved.\n\nManchester City were never at their best and must now overturn this narrow deficit at Etihad Stadium on 17 April to keep alive their hopes of a historic quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.\n• None Kane could be out for season - Pochettino\n• None Football Daily: Son stars for Spurs and Liverpool pounce on Porto\n• None Champions League and Europa League: Who will qualify in various scenarios?\n• None How you rated the players - Tottenham v Man City\n\nSpurs win with sheer force of will\n\nThis was the sort of night Spurs' new stadium was built for - and how Mauricio Pochettino's side delivered in front of their exultant supporters.\n\nSpurs rode out Aguero's penalty miss and another Kane injury setback to knock an off-colour Manchester City out of their usual stride. No-one can dispute that this was a first-leg advantage the home team totally merited.\n\nThe much-maligned Lloris, understandably criticised after his late error at Liverpool recently, was a hero here but Spurs had them all over the pitch.\n\nHarry Winks gave a performance of real maturity in midfield and when Kane went off it was the talismanic figure of Son who again showed his liking for his new surroundings with the winner - after scoring the first Premier League goal here against Crystal Palace.\n\nThe South Korean is the ideal modern attacker: tireless, unselfish but with an eye for goal and a willingness to take responsibility, which he did here as he led the charge after Kane's departure, culminating in the turn back from the byeline and shot underneath Ederson to give Spurs a precious lead to protect at Etihad Stadium.\n\nSpurs look certain to have to overcome the absence of Kane in the second leg but a lead - and of great significance, a clean sheet - will see them travel north with justified optimism.\n\nCan Man City keep quadruple on track?\n\nPep Guardiola cut an agitated figure throughout as Manchester City spluttered and failed to find anything near top gear. City and their manager can have no complaints about this outcome.\n\nGuardiola's team selection raised plenty of eyebrows and the selection of Delph at left-back left City with a huge flaw. He struggled to cope with Son all night, switching off to great cost as the South Korean chased a ball to the byeline unchallenged.\n\nRiyad Mahrez looks poor value at £60m and the introductions of Leroy Sane and Kevin de Bruyne smacked of too little too late.\n\nCan City turn this tie around and keep their quadruple bid on track? Yes they can - and while it is of little consolation, it is at least better than the 3-0 deficit that proved too much to overhaul in another all-English Champions League quarter-final last season against Liverpool last season.\n\nHowever, they must show more urgency and more of their trademark attacking brilliance to succeed.\n\nSpurs will almost certainly be missing Kane but they also have a clean sheet so City must attack while also being aware they must not slip up at the back and risk falling foul of the away goals rule.\n\nThe stage is set for a dramatic second leg.\n\n'He could be out for the rest of the season' - what they said\n\nTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BT Sport: \"It was an unbelievable game. It was so tough. But it is still Manchester City and there is a second leg. We are happy as we showed great quality. The performance was good but there's still 90 minutes to go.\n\n\"It was a really good game. We were all excited. It's a quarter-final of the Champions League. The penalty save I think gave the belief to us. I think there were many positive things. In the spirit we played today, everything possible.\n\nOn Harry Kane's injury: \"We need to check tomorrow but looks like it is the same ankle and similar injury. It is very sad and very disappointing. We are going to miss him - maybe for the rest of the season. It is a worry for us. We hope it is not a big issue. But there is not to much time to recover. He twisted his ankle so we will see how it reacts in a few hours.\"\n\n\"Fabian Delph was very disappointed but he didn't realise Harry's intention was not to tackle him. In the action, both were very strong. But both didn't have the intention to make damage to another. That was why Fabian was trying to talk to him. Both were fighting for the ball.\"\n\nManchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to BT Sport: \"There are always key moments in football. It is the Champions League and the result is what it is.\n\n\"We played well and we were controlling the game. We had our chances with the penalty so it was a good performance but it is the Champions League and that is the challenge.\"\n\nOn Sergio Aguero's penalty miss: \"Next time we will score.

But he says the page he was directed to was \"the spitting image\" of a gov.uk site. After entering his national insurance number and date of birth, it informed him he was due a credible sounding rebate of £462.\n\nHe ended up providing details including his bank details and even his mother's maiden name.\n\nExample of a scam text, provided by HMRC\n\n\"I didn't even think twice about giving out this information to this website,\" he says.\n\n\"They just have to catch you off guard. If I'd have got the text yesterday at 11:30am after a good night's sleep, I'd have been like: 'This is clearly a scam'.\"\n\nJohn reported the breach to HMRC and Action Fraud, and has since put in place extra online security on his accounts.\n\n\"You don't need to tell me I'm an idiot,\" he says. \"I know I'm an idiot, this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever done.\"\n\nThe HMRC says it never requests bank details by text or phone, and that it is shutting down hundreds of sites a week associated with these schemes, which are known as \"phishing scams\".\n\n\"We are determined to protect honest people from these fraudsters who will stop at nothing to make their phishing scams appear legitimate,\" says head of customer services at HMRC, Angela MacDonald.\n\n\"If you receive one of these emails or texts, don't respond and report it to HMRC so that more online criminals are stopped in their tracks.\"\n\nScammers also use phone calls, voicemails and emails, which may contain computer viruses designed to copy personal or financial information.", "A series of wildfires took hold on the north side of the Isle of Bute.\n\nThe fire service said a large area of moorland and forestry were affected.\n\nLocal residents, including SNP minister Michael Russell posted images of the blazes on social media after they broke out during Thursday night and Friday.\n\nThe Scottish Fire and Rescue service said an appliance had been sent to the scene but returned when darkness fell as it was deemed too dangerous to be on the hills.\n\nOne crew returned on Saturday morning to ensure the blaze had not reignited.\n\nA spokesman added: \"The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was alerted at 14:36 on Friday, April 19 to reports of an area of grass on fire at Balmakailly Hill in Rothesay, Bute.\n\n\"Operations Control mobilised two appliances, and crews extinguished the fire before leaving the scene at 16:57.\n\n\"There were no casualties.\"\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Some people in the Labour Party are making other suggestions to us. Of course, we have to be prepared to discuss them.\n\n\"Our approach to these discussions with Labour is we have no red lines. We will go into these talks with an open mind and discuss everything with them in a constructive fashion.\"\n\nJeremy Corbyn said the government's position had not changed\n\nSpeaking while campaigning for next month's local elections in Plymouth, Mr Corbyn suggested votes in Parliament were now the most likely way of providing a breakthrough on Brexit, saying his key priority was \"to avoid crashing out of the EU with no deal\".\n\nMr Corbyn told the BBC: \"We have a party position on the future relationship with Europe... and we will responsibly discharge those duties, but we are determined to make sure there is no crashing out.\"\n\nThe prime minister has been unable to get Parliamentary backing for the withdrawal agreement she secured with the EU in November last year, which sets out the terms of the UK's departure.\n\nLabour has said it wants fundamental changes to a document drawn up at the same time, known as the political declaration. It sets out ambitions for the future relationship between the UK and EU after Brexit - including on trade, regulations, security and fishing rights - but does not legally commit either party.\n\nShadow home secretary Ms Abbott told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Labour had engaged in the talks \"in good faith\" and shadow Brexit minister Sir Keir Starmer had written to the government to say he wants them to continue.\n\nShe said there was concern that the government has made \"no movement\" on altering the political declaration and \"that is key\".\n\nA Downing Street spokesman said after Friday's talks that \"serious proposals\" were made and it was \"prepared to pursue changes to the political declaration in order to deliver a deal that is acceptable to both sides\".\n\nBBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says there was a sense that the government has \"only offered clarifications on what might be possible from the existing documents, rather than adjusting any of their actual proposals\".\n\nShe added that both sides agreed the talks are not yet over, but there were no firm commitments for when further discussions might take place.\n\nThe UK is due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by the House of Commons.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May has written to European Council President Donald Tusk to request an extension to the Brexit process until 30 June but says if MPs agree a deal, the UK should be able to leave before European parliamentary elections are held on 23 May.\n\nShe says the UK would prepare to field candidates in May's European Parliament elections if MPs failed to back a deal.\n\nBut education minister Nadhim Zahawi told the Today programme it would be \"a suicide note of the Conservative Party if we had to fight the European elections\".\n\nHe added the elections would pose an \"existential threat\" to both the Conservatives and Labour if they \"haven't been able to deliver Brexit\".\n\nMr Zahawi suggested that if an agreement could not be found from the talks with Labour, MPs should be asked to find a compromise on a deal through a preferential voting system.\n\nAny extension to the UK's departure would have to be unanimously approved by EU leaders.\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nA senior EU source told BBC Europe editor Katya Adler that Donald Tusk would propose a 12-month \"flexible\" extension, with the option of the UK leaving sooner once Parliament had ratified a deal.\n\nFrench Europe minister Amelie de Montchalin said such a delay would require the UK to put forward a proposal with \"clear and credible political backing\".\n\n\"In the absence of such a plan, we would have to acknowledge that the UK chose to leave the EU in a disorderly manner,\" she added.\n\nIrish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar told RTE it was unlikely that a UK request for a delay would be vetoed by any EU member nations as it could cause economic hardship in the bloc and \"they wouldn't be forgiven for it\".\n\nBut he said there was growing frustration from some nations which see Brexit as distracting from other things.", "Shane O'Brien is alleged to have murdered 21-year-old Josh Hanson\n\nA man has appeared in court charged with murder after being extradited from Romania over a stabbing in London more than three years ago.\n\nShane O'Brien, 31, of Hillingdon, is accused of killing Josh Hanson at the RE bar in Eastcote in October 2015.\n\nHe was returned to the UK after being detained in Romania on 23 March.\n\nMr O'Brien is now due to appear from custody at the Old Bailey on 9 April after a brief hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.\n\nMr Hanson, 21, from Kingsbury in north-west London, was pronounced dead at the scene on 11 October 2015.\n\nA post-mortem examination revealed he died from a haemorrhage, inhalation of blood and an incised wound to the neck.\n\nJosh Hanson was pronounced dead at the scene\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Pro-government militias from the city of Misrata have been moving to defend Tripoli\n\nFresh fighting has flared near the Libyan capital, Tripoli, between pro-government forces and fighters from the east of the country.\n\nReports say clashes between Gen Khalifa Haftar's rebels and pro-government groups are taking place in three suburbs to the south of the city.\n\nTripoli is the base of the UN-backed, internationally recognised government.\n\nThe UN's Libya envoy has insisted that a planned conference on possible new elections will still go ahead.\n\nIn a televised address the head of the UN-backed government, Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, accused Gen Haftar of launching a coup.\n\nMr al-Sarraj said his government had \"extended our hands towards peace\", but said Gen Haftar will now be met with \"nothing but strength and firmness\".\n\nLibya has been torn by violence and political instability since long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in 2011.\n\nGeneral Haftar -

Theresa May describes it as the right deal for the UK.\n\nThis is not a legally binding document.\n\nIt's not very long either, but it has grown from last week's seven-page outline to 26 pages. It sits alongside the 585-page Draft Withdrawal Agreement (which will be legally binding if it gets ratified).\n\nThis is also a draft, agreed by negotiators, but it still needs to be approved by the leaders of all 28 EU countries at a summit scheduled to take place on Sunday. Don't expect major changes.\n\nFormal negotiations on everything it contains can only begin after Brexit has actually happened - currently after 29 March 2019.\n\nIt contains plenty of aspirations involving shared interests, close partnerships and ambitious co-operation, but many of the details are still to come.\n\nHere's an initial look at what's in the text:\n\nA reminder that this really is about everything, not just about trade: the entire scope of the future relationship between the UK and its nearest neighbours.\n\nBoth sides want that relationship to be as close and co-operative as possible but that aspiration will be tested in the years ahead.\n\nAgain, it's worth emphasising that this is not a legally binding document, so there are no guarantees about what the post-Brexit world will look like.\n\nAnd no-one can say for certain how long it will all take to negotiate.\n\nThe bottom line of both parties is included early on.\n\nAnything that is negotiated must be consistent with the EU's four freedoms - the free movement of goods, services, capital and people.\n\nAnd nothing will be agreed that threatens the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.\n\nAs we've seen for months now, the issue of the Irish border is where the combination of these core principles becomes most complicated.\n\nSo trade in goods should be \"as close as possible\", but that's not the same as being frictionless.\n\nIt leaves a lot of wriggle room in negotiations, with no guarantee of the final outcome.\n\nThe two sides are committing themselves to an \"ambitious, wide-ranging and balanced\" economic partnership, based on a comprehensive free trade agreement.\n\nBut there is also repeated emphasis that there must be a level playing field, which ensures open and fair competition.\n\nThe more economic rights you retain, the EU is reminding the UK, the more obligations to which you have to sign up.\n\nWhen the outline of this draft emerged last week, this was a notion that raised alarm bells for many supporters of Brexit.\n\nDominic Raab mentioned it in his resignation statement. Their fear, which will not be dispelled by this draft text, is that temporary customs arrangements could easily turn into some form of permanent customs union, preventing the UK from doing its own trade deals on goods around the world.\n\nThe government denies this, and argues that there is nothing wrong in wanting ambitious customs arrangements in the future, including the need to avoid checks on what are known as \"rules of origin\".\n\nThe declaration also mentions explicitly an \"independent trade policy\" for the UK in the future.\n\nWe are, this emphasises, open to any solution that will avoid the proposed backstop solution, to keep the Irish border open.\n\nThat includes technological and other solutions that critics of the Brexit negotiations say have been ignored for too long.\n\nThe trouble is that technological solutions that avoid the need for any border infrastructure are not in operation anywhere in the world.\n\nUK officials see this as a key sentence, which suggests there is plenty of room for manoeuvre in the negotiations to come.\n\nIt makes clear, they argue, that it is not the case that the UK can only have either a basic free trade agreement (like Canada) or membership of the single market (like Norway), with nothing in-between.\n\nBut none of the language here commits the EU to anything specific.\n\nAs expected, the regulation of financial services will be based on a system of \"equivalence\" and the aim is to negotiate the details in this key sector before the end of June 2020.\n\nThere's nothing in the language here to suggest that the UK will get better terms than any other third country dealing with the EU - but that will be a key negotiating aim.\n\nThere are also plenty of aspirational words on \"ambitious and comprehensive\" plans for the service sector in general, but there is an awful lot to negotiate.\n\nThere are plenty of nods towards the way the world economy is changing, and the importance of comprehensive agreements on data.\n\nThe UK hopes that in the negotiations to come, it can be well positioned to take advantage of new technologies and the digital economy.\n\nBut the EU has already made it clear that the UK cannot expect to have the same access to all EU databases - in various economic and security areas - as it would have as an EU member state.\n\nThis fulfils the prime minister's pledge that the UK will take back control of its borders and free movement of EU citizens to the UK will come to an end. But it means, of course, that free movement for UK citizens travelling to the EU will also stop.\n\nThe document says both sides want to preserve visa-free travel for short-term visits (don't worry about your holidays) but it suggests by implication that visas could be introduced for longer stays.\n\nThere is neutral language here, including the \"best endeavours\" principle that commits both sides to doing everything they can to reach a deal.\n\nBut that disguises the fact that there are still deep disagreements on fishing, and on getting the right balance between access for UK produce to EU markets, and access for EU boats to UK fishing waters.\n\nExpect this one to run and run, because the UK is not alone in having a vocal fishing lobby with more political power than its overall contribution to the economy might suggest.\n\nThere is a lot in this document on security - both on internal police co-operation and on broader foreign policy and defence co-operation.\n\nThe EU needs the UK in many of these areas, but the draft makes clear that - on internal security matters in particular - there is a variety of legal and technical issues to overcome.\n\nWe can expect, though, that UK and EU foreign policy will be co-ordinated as closely as possible in the future.\n\nRather like the Draft Withdrawal Agreement, the political declaration envisages a system of dispute resolution involving a joint committee and an arbitration panel.\n\nBut once again, on matters of EU law (and there will be a lot of that involved in any future relationship) the final word will rest with the European Court of Justice.\n\nThe government will point out that after Brexit the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ in the UK will come to an end.\n\nThere is a plethora of other issues in the draft document that this article hasn't covered: transport, energy, intellectual property and so on.\n\nBoth sides say they hope all these issues and more can be wrapped up by the end of 2020. It's an ambitious timetable.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Emma Appleby with her daughter Teagan in the Netherlands\n\nMedicinal cannabis was confiscated from a woman as she tried to bring the drug into the UK illegally for her daughter, who has severe epilepsy.\n\nEmma Appleby and Teagan, nine, were stopped at Southend Airport after they flew from Amsterdam.\n\nMrs Appleby bought £4,000 of the THC oil capsules in the Netherlands after being refused a prescription in the UK.\n\nBut it was seized by the Border Force before the family, from Aylesham, Kent, was released from the airport.\n\nIt was illegal to bring the drug into the UK without a prescription, which doctors have been able to issue legally since 2018.\n\nDoctors in the UK have refused to prescribe Teagan THC, a psychoactive compound found in cannabis.

Only Alan Shearer and Ruud van Nistelrooy have reached the landmark in fewer matches.\n\nSalah was influential as Liverpool secured three points in injury time against Tottenham in their last outing, and their persistence in the latter stages of matches is no fluke.\n\nLiverpool have scored 20 goals in the final 15 minutes of games this season, more than any other side, and they have also won a league-leading 16 points from losing positions.\n\nIf the Reds are to deliver a first league title since 1990, their undying spirit at the death could tip the balance in their favour.\n\nSaints fall away when it matters\n\nSouthampton remain five points clear of the danger zone but they were poised to claim a surprise point against the title challengers.\n\nRalph Hasenhuttl has turned the tide since taking charge at St Mary's and the hosts produced a disciplined defensive display to limit a side that has scored 85 goals to just five shots on target.\n\nVestergaard and Maya Yoshida made 10 clearances apiece, while the latter epitomised the Southampton mentality when he leapt off the ground to block Roberto Firmino's shot with the goal at his mercy.\n\nHowever, with the game in the balance and Liverpool struggling to carve out many clear-cut opportunities, the home defence backed off and gave Salah the room he needed to strike the decisive blow.\n\nOn-loan Saints striker Danny Ings, ineligible against his parent club, was replaced in the Southampton line-up by Irishman Long, who was making his first league start since February.\n\nLong handed his side the perfect start when he also struck his 50th Premier League goal with a cool finish as the visitors started slowly.\n\nOnly five teams have scored fewer goals than Southampton this season, but with Ings set to return and Long back among the goals, they are well placed to pick up the results needed to stay in the top flight.\n\n'The season is intense for everyone' - what they said\n\nLiverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to BBC Sport: \"I knew it would be difficult.

Then we would have had a chance for a point.\n\n\"Their first goal was offside and the second we did not react well. We cannot make such a mistake from this position. They have a counter from our shot and it was too easy. We showed in the second half we are brave and we wanted to win the game.\n\n\"We have to pay attention and not fear the moment.

of which there are about 4,500 in Wales - are being paid less than £100 a day, according to a National Education Union (NEU) report last year.\n\n\"Teachers are being ripped off,\" AM Neil McEvoy told a Welsh Assembly petitions committee meeting as he claimed some of the 60 agencies in Wales \"cream off\" as much as £160 per teacher, per day while \"teachers get paid on average £85 a day\".\n\nA petition to the assembly, submitted by former supply teacher Sheila Jones, claimed stand-in teachers were \"exploited\" and \"leaving the profession as they cannot afford to be supply teachers\" because \"agencies reduce teachers' pay by 40-60%\".\n\nAbout £40m was spent on supply teachers in Wales in 2016-17 and the education minister has revealed a controversial and \"flawed\" national agency contract is being scrapped because of \"legitimate concern\".\n\nThe government is in talks with the National Procurement Service and unions to agree the contract and minimum fee which will be introduced in September.\n\nFormer supply teacher Sheila Jones is now a union official\n\nSheila Jones, who is now Wales' supply teacher representative for the National Education Union, said while agency teachers' roles offered flexibility they did not receive the same pay as colleagues employed by local authorities.\n\n\"It's unjust,\" she said. \"There should not be a difference.\n\n\"I'm concerned that there are still going to be agencies in existence that can offer a different pay rate.\n\n\"Two people doing the same job should not be getting different pay and conditions, it's as simple as that.\"\n\nProblems with the system for arranging supply teachers have been flagged up for many years, but a solution has been more elusive.\n\nCouncils used to have their own lists or schools had a handful of trusted contacts to draft in to cover sickness or courses.\n\nThat still happens, but agencies have now become the main players - taking care of the checks and the training so head teachers just have to make a phone call.\n\nAgencies argue it is more cost-effective, others object to private companies profiting while schools struggle financially.\n\nThe minister's plans could address some concerns, particularly on pay, though it will not deliver the all-Wales register of supply teachers some have been calling for.\n\nEducation Minister Kirsty Williams admitted agency costs were \"murky\" and hoped the new deal would ensure \"those working in the system are better protected\".\n\n\"I acknowledge the previous contract had flaws and led to a situation I was uncomfortable with,\" she told the petitions committee.\n\n\"I have been concerned about the lack of transparency around fees and profits that are made by these organisations.\"\n\nA £2.7m pilot project where supply teachers were employed full-time by a group of schools has showed \"benefits\"\n\nShe added that agency fees would be \"publicly available\" to help \"better practices\" so employers can \"look very carefully how public resources that are meant to educate our children are properly deployed\".\n\nNew Directions has dominated supply teacher provision in Wales but the new contract, which will start in September, will be on a local authority rather than Wales-wide basis.\n\nThe Cardiff-based firm said it has operated an \"open and transparent rates matrix\" with government agreement and \"schools decide what rates they are willing to pay\".\n\n\"Over the term of the framework we have saved schools in excess of £15m, in turn providing relevant continuing professional development opportunities to over 4,000 education workers,\" said Gary Williams, the firm's group director.\n\n\"We welcome the changes for the new framework and see them as a positive for Wales.\"\n\nSchools have also been told they do not have to employ teachers through agencies and could hire them directly - so avoiding fees altogether.\n\nAnd the Welsh Government has sponsored a £2.7m pilot project - involving 52 newly-qualified staff - where supply teachers are employed full-time and fill in for absent teachers across 106 schools in 15 counties.\n\nMs Williams said early signs show there were \"better pupil outcomes and behaviour benefits\" as well as \"wider benefits for school improvement\".\n\nUnions have \"begrudgingly welcomed\" the government's reform as they want supply staff to be paid depending on experience and not \"get them on the cheap\".\n\n\"It is a step in the right direction,\" said NEU Welsh secretary David Evans. \"But we still have some way to go.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"I could see that the bomb was wrapped in a Lidl carrier bag\", said Lt Col Craig Palmer\n\nAn Army officer who walked towards a smouldering bomb after it detonated on a London Underground train has been honoured for his courage.\n\nLt Col Craig Palmer, 50, received the Queen's Commendation for Bravery after he gathered vital evidence following the 2017 Parsons Green station attack.\n\n\"As soon as I smelt burning explosives I knew it was serious and that I wasn't going to turn my back on it,\" he said.\n\nHe was among several soldiers to receive honours.\n\nCol Palmer, of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, was on his daily rush-hour commute on the District Line in London when there was an explosion as the train pulled in to Parsons Green Underground station.\n\nThe married father-of-three, who is originally from Stockton-on-Tees, was two carriages away, but he pushed through screaming crowds towards the danger.\n\nA bomb built at home by a teenager had left 23 people with injuries from burns, while another 28 were hurt in the panic and crush afterwards.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nAfter 26 years of experience in the Army and following two earlier attacks that year in London, Col Palmer said he felt \"conditioned\" to take action if this incident turned out to be terrorism.\n\n\"Everyone was trying to get away while I was going forward,\" he said. \"I couldn't see a terrorist, but I could see what I thought was a burning bomb and realised the terrorist must be on the run - I saw horrified people, school children, all running past me.\"\n\nKnowing that it was vital to gather evidence in the moments following an attack, he took three photos of the bomb in a carrier bag on the floor before alerting police.\n\nHe said: \"It was still venting fumes and could have gone off at any moment. It was a calculated risk - Army officers are in the business of taking such risks, and I thought there's a 50/50 chance that if it goes off, I die.\"\n\nThe bomb was still smouldering when Col Palmer photographed it for police\n\nThe citation for his bravery award said that this photographic evidence enabled police to declare a major incident and rapidly begin investigating the attack. The bomber was caught the next day in Dover.\n\nCol Palmer gave evidence in 2018 at the trial of 18-year-old Ahmed Hassan in the Old Bailey, which led to his conviction and imprisonment for life.\n\n\"My instinct on the day was to stand firm in the chaos, step up and try to do the right thing.

So, for example, there are no longer any British MEPs in the European Parliament.\n\nNegotiations on a trade deal with the EU have been proceeding for several months. The UK wants as much access as possible for its goods and services to the EU.\n\nBut the government has made clear that the UK must leave the customs union and single market and end the overall jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.\n\nBoth sides say there a still significant areas of disagreement - for example, on EU proposals for a so-called \"level playing field\", which would see the UK and EU maintain similar minimum standards on things like workers' rights and environmental protection.\n\nThe deadline for the two sides to agree an extension to the transition period has now passed.\n\nIf no trade deal has been agreed and ratified by the end of the year, then the UK faces the prospect of tariffs on exports to the EU.\n\nThe prime minister has argued that as the UK is completely aligned to EU rules, the negotiation should be straightforward. But critics have pointed out that the UK wishes to have the freedom to diverge from EU rules so it can do deals with other countries - and that makes negotiations more difficult.\n\nIt's not just a trade deal that needs to be sorted out. The UK must agree how it is going to co-operate with the EU on security and law enforcement. The UK is set to leave the European Arrest Warrant scheme and will have to agree a replacement. It must also agree deals in a number of other areas where co-operation is needed.\n\nIt's also important to recognise that major changes will take effect on 1 January 2021 whether or not a trade deal is agreed.

The UN Security council issued a similar call.\n\nKhalifa Haftar, leader of the self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), has ordered the advance on Tripoli.\n\nThe unrest comes ahead of a planned UN conference on possible new elections.\n\nTripoli is the home of Libya's internationally recognised government, which has the backing of the UN.\n\nViolence and division have riven Libya since long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in 2011.\n\nThe LNA's leader Haftar ordered his forces to advance on Tripoli on Thursday, as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres was in the city to discuss the ongoing crisis.\n\nGen Haftar spoke to Mr Guterres in Benghazi on Friday, and reportedly told him that his operation would not stop until his troops had defeated \"terrorism\".\n\nGen Haftar has ordered his forces to march on Tripoli\n\nOn Thursday, LNA forces took the town of Gharyan 100km (62 miles) south of Tripoli.\n\nThere are now reports troops have taken the capital's airport, which has been closed since 2014 - although these are disputed.\n\nResidents of Misrata east of Tripoli told Reuters news agency that militias from their city had been sent to defend the capital.\n\nArmed groups allied to the Tripoli government told the news agency on Friday that they had taken a number of LNA fighters prisoner.\n\nLNA troops seized the south of Libya and its oil fields earlier this year.\n\nIn a tweet, Mr Guterres said he left Libya \"with a heavy heart and deeply concerned\", saying he still hoped there was a way to avoid a battle around the capital.\n\nThe G7 later responded to the fighting with a statement urging an end to military operations.\n\n\"We strongly oppose any military action in Libya,\" the statement read, reiterating their support for UN-led efforts to bring elections and calling on all countries to support the \"sustainable stabilisation of Libya\".\n\nThe UN Security Council held a close-door meeting late on Friday.

But somehow it doesn't seem so awful or imminent when one of the greatest broadcasters who has ever lived is giving you the bad news.\n\nHaving the warm, intelligent, measured voice of Sir David Attenborough repeatedly stating that man's reckless approach to managing Earth's delicate resources is putting it, and therefore our, very existence in grave danger, is a bit like Dr Doug Ross giving you a terminal diagnosis in ER: you don't really hear him because it's GEORGE CLOONEY.\n\nAnd, so it is with Our Planet.\n\nSir David is emphatic and uncompromising in his assessment of the state of the natural world.\n\nWe have ruined it, basically.\n\nOur rapaciousness aligned to industrial-scale destruction and over-population has put us on the brink of an ecological disaster from which there will be no return.\n\n\"What we do in the next 20 years will determine the future for all life on Earth\", he warns.\n\nAlbatross parent feeding its chick on Bird Island, South Georgia, where numbers have declined by 40%\n\nIt is a stark and important message but it never really lands in the way it is intended. It comes across more as \"Oh, and by the way\", as opposed to \"We're all doomed\". And that is because, when all is said and done, this is a classic Attenborough-narrated series full of his inherent optimism and love of the natural world in all its resilient, adaptable, magnificent glory.\n\nTo be shown orangutans' habitat mercilessly eroded by the commercial exploitation of palm oil plants is awful, but soon forgotten when you watch mother teach son how to fillet a dead tree for ants.\n\nIt is a narrative paradox that runs through Our Planet. However dire Sir David's warnings, they are always overshadowed by his enthusiasm to show us one more piece of amazing never-seen-before footage filmed deep inside the animal kingdom.\n\nThis orangutan uses a stick tool to winkle out ants from a tree hole, and is part of a long-term study into these apes in Sumatra\n\nThis is what he is best at, and when this series is at its best.\n\nThe highly experienced production team who have Blue Planet and Frozen Planet among their credits, have delivered some stunning, unforgettable sequences, such as the mating ritual of a twerking Red-capped manakin bird, or, better still, those of a male western parotia.\n\nWestern parotia bird of paradise; here the female looks down from her perch at the displaying male\n\nCameraman Doug Anderson waits by a Callipterus shell pile, and starts the camera recording by pulling on a piece of string attached to the trigger in Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania\n\nFrom tip-toeing Flamingos to ancient worms with inbuilt glue-guns, Our Planet gives us some of the most dazzling images you are ever likely to view on TV. When necessary, they are embellished with Attenborough's commentary, which is never obtrusive and always written with brevity and wit.\n\nHe doesn't do pomposity; his style is more down to planet Earth.\n\nIf there is an everyday allusion needed to make the exotic images we are seeing feel more relatable, he generally has one to hand. Cormorants \"carpet bomb\" a shoal of fish, courting birds dance around each other as if on Strictly, and a bat has gone \"into business\" with a plant in a mutually beneficial enterprise.\n\nCormorants and boobies plunge dive into shoals of anchovies in Punta San Juan, Peru\n\nAn eyebrow or two was raised when Netflix announced it had signed Attenborough to narrate the series.\n\nAfter all, he is one of the BBC's most treasured talents with global recognition and an almost unique ability to reach audiences of all ages and types.\n\nDavid Attenborough with sea lions on South Georgia Island in 2005, for the BBC's The Living Planet: The Frozen World\n\nHence the streaming giant's interest in him, of course.\n\nFrankly, by and large, you wouldn't know the difference. It is like a car manufacturer re-badging a model for another market: same product, different idents.\n\nI do wonder, though, if the experienced exec producers at BBC would have sharpened up the first episode a little. Its job is to be a scene-setter for the more editorially focused programmes that follow, but it feels slightly tentative and tends to jump about like a young Philippine eagle preparing to embark on its first flight.\n\nThe Philippine eagle is one of the largest birds of prey in the world, but there are thought to be only 400 pairs remaining\n\nIt is also possible there was another, perhaps more effective way, to make the very serious points about what the programme-makers think needs to be done to save our world from disaster. I know David Attenborough is not one to finger-wag, but maybe there was scope to make a single, no-holds-barred wake-up call episode with every last grain of sugar removed from the bitter pill.\n\nBut these are moot points about a world-class television series made available in its entirety to the world on Friday.\n\nIt has been created by masters of their craft with an exceptional narrator (though it's instructive to note that Attenborough doesn't entirely traverse all cultural borders - the Spanish version is voiced by Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek narrates for Latin America).\n\nIt is the voice of a man who knows he won't be around forever but hopes passionately that Our Planet will.", "The government has not proposed any changes to the PM's Brexit deal during cross-party talks, says shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer.\n\nMeetings have been taking place between Tory and Labour politicians to find a proposal to put to the Commons before an emergency EU summit next week.\n\nBut Sir Keir said the government was not \"countenancing any change\" on the wording of the existing plan.\n\nA Downing Street spokesman said: \"We have made serious proposals.\"\n\nThe government was \"prepared to pursue changes to the political declaration\", a plan for the future relationship with the EU, to \"deliver a deal that is acceptable to both sides\", the spokesman said.\n\nSir Keir said the government's approach was \"disappointing\", and it would not consider any changes to the \"actual wording\" of the political declaration. \"Compromise requires change,\" he said.\n\n\"We want the talks to continue and we've written in those terms to the government, but we do need change if we're going to compromise.\"\n\nThe UK is currently due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by MPs.\n\nTheresa May has written to European Council President Donald Tusk to request an extension to 30 June.\n\nBut she says if the Commons agrees a deal in time, the UK should be able to leave before European parliamentary elections on 23 May.\n\nBoth sides say they are serious about these talks, but there is little to show for that so far.\n\nPerhaps that's no surprise.\n\nAfter more than two years of negotiations with the EU and months of wrangling in parliament, the idea that the government could sit down with Labour and thrash out a deal that keeps both sides happy in a few days seems optimistic at best.\n\nThere appears to be disagreement over what the talks can achieve; changes to the political declaration on the UK's future relationship with the EU, or an additional document to what has already been agreed?\n\nIf a deal is done, it may or may not fly.

Labour would consider voting to revoke Article 50 to avoid no deal - shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May has insisted she had to reach out to Labour in a bid to deliver Brexit or risk letting it \"slip through our fingers\".\n\nThe PM said there was a \"stark choice\" of either leaving the European Union with a deal or not leaving at all.\n\nAnd shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey says if no-deal became an option Labour would consider \"very, very strongly\" voting to cancel Brexit.\n\nSome Tories have criticised the PM for seeking Labour's help on her deal.\n\nCommons Leader Andrea Leadsom said the Tories were working with Labour \"through gritted teeth\", adding that no deal would be better than cancelling Brexit.\n\nMPs have rejected Mrs May's Brexit plan three times and last week's talks between the two parties were aimed at trying to find a proposal which could break the deadlock in the Commons before an emergency EU summit on Wednesday.\n\nHowever, the three days of meetings stalled without agreement on Friday.\n\nIn a video message posted on Sunday, Mrs May said she could not see MPs accepting her deal \"as things stand\".\n\nShe added that she had been looking for \"new ways\" to get a deal through Parliament, but it would require \"compromise on both sides\".\n\n\"I think people voted to leave the EU, we have a duty as a Parliament to deliver that,\" she added.\n\nLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he was \"waiting to see the red lines move\" and had not \"noticed any great change in the government's position\".\n\nHe is coming under pressure from his MPs to demand a referendum on any deal he reaches with the government, with 80 signing a letter saying a public vote should be the \"bottom line\" in the negotiations.\n\nIn a statement issued on Saturday night, Mrs May said after doing \"everything in my power\" to persuade her party - and its backers in Northern Ireland's DUP - to approve the deal she agreed with the EU last year, she \"had to take a new approach\".\n\n\"We have no choice but to reach out across the House of Commons,\" the PM said, insisting the two main parties agreed on the need to protect jobs and end free movement.\n\n\"The referendum was not fought along party lines and people I speak to on the doorstep tell me they expect their politicians to work together when the national interest demands it.\"\n\nMrs May has been criticised by some Conservatives for reaching out to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn\n\nGetting a majority of MPs to back a Brexit deal was the only way for the UK to leave the EU, Mrs May said.\n\n\"The longer this takes, the greater the risk of the UK never leaving at all.\"\n\nMs Long-Bailey, who was involved in Labour's meetings with the government, told BBC's Andrew Marr Show they were \"very good-natured\" and there had been \"subsequent exchanges\".\n\nShe said Labour was yet to see the compromise proposals needed to agree a deal but she was \"hopeful that will change in the coming days and we are willing to continue the talks\".\n\nHowever, she added Labour would \"keep all options in play to keep no deal off the table\", including supporting a vote to revoke Article 50 - the legal mechanism through which Brexit is taking place.\n\nTory Brexiteers have reacted angrily to the prospect of Mrs May accepting Labour's demands, particularly for a customs union with the EU which would allow tariff-free trade in goods with the bloc but limit the UK from striking its own deals.\n\nMs Long-Bailey indicated Labour might be willing to be flexible over its support for a customs union but said the government proposals on the issue have \"not been compliant with the definition of a customs union\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Andrea Leadsom: \"It is appalling to consider another referendum\"\n\nInterviewed on the Andrew Marr Show, Ms Leadsom reiterated her comments in the Sunday Telegraph that holding another referendum on the UK's departure would be the \"ultimate betrayal\".\n\nShe said that taking part in the European elections in the event of a Brexit delay would be \"utterly unacceptable\".\n\nMs Leadsom said: \"Specifically provided we are leaving the European Union then it is important that we compromise, that's what this is about and it is through gritted teeth. But nevertheless the most important thing is to actually leave the EU,\" she said.\n\nThe Commons leader also told the BBC's Brexitcast there is the potential for bringing Mrs May's deal back before MPs this week.\n\nThe UK is due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by the House of Commons.\n\nThis week Mrs May is to ask Brussels for an extension to 30 June, with the possibility of an earlier departure if a deal is agreed.\n\nLabour says it has had no indication the government will agree to its demand for changes to the political declaration - the section of Mrs May's Brexit deal which outlines the basis for future UK-EU relations.\n\nThe document declares mutual ambitions in areas such as trade, regulations, security and fishing rights - but does not legally commit either party.\n\nFormer Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab says the talks could help Mr Corbyn into No 10\n\nLeaving the EU's customs union was a Conservative manifesto commitment, and former party whip Michael Fabricant predicted \"open revolt\" among Tories and Leave voters if MPs agreed to it.\n\nHowever, Downing Street has described the prospect as \"speculation\".\n\nMeanwhile, the Sunday Telegraph reported some activists were refusing to campaign for the party, while donations had \"dried up\".\n\nAnd former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab writes in the Mail on Sunday that Mrs May's approach \"threatens to damage the Conservatives for years\".\n\n\"There is now a danger that Brexit could be lost and that the government could fall - handing the keys to Downing Street to Corbyn,\" he says.\n\nUse the list below or select a button\n\nTory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said including Mr Corbyn in the Brexit process was a \"mistake\" as \"he is not sympathetic to the government, obviously, and is a Remainer\".\n\nHe told Sky News the reason Mrs May has not been able to secure the backing of all Conservative MPs was \"her own creation\" and because she failed to \"deliver\" a deal they could support.\n\nTreasury Chief Secretary Liz Truss dismissed the idea of a long delay to Brexit, which could be ended if Parliament approved a deal.\n\nMs Truss told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics a so-called flextension \"sounds like purgatory\", adding: \"We haven't yet negotiated the free trade deal we need... So I think the British public are going to be pretty horrified if we go into more limbo than we've already had.\"\n\nIn a letter to Mr Corbyn, some Labour MPs have pointed out that - because the political declaration is not legally binding, and with Mrs May having promised to stand down - a future Tory PM could simply \"rip up\" any of her commitments.\n\nFour shadow ministers were among 80 signatories of the Love Socialism Hate Brexit campaign letter pressing for a further public vote.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

The British people don't want that.\"\n\nBut he said an extension of a year or so would be better than leaving on the terms agreed by the PM, accusing her of being \"pretty dishonest\" about her willingness to countenance a no-deal exit.\n\nEurope's leaders have been split over whether, and how, to grant any extension.\n\nHowever, BBC Europe editor Katya Adler has been told by a senior EU official that Mr Tusk \"believes he's come up with an answer\", after several hours of meetings in preparation for the summit.\n\nBut his proposal would have to be agreed unanimously by EU leaders next week. The prime minister wrote to Mr Tusk to request the extension ahead of Wednesday's meeting.\n\nYou could almost hear the sound of collective eye-rolling across 27 European capitals after Theresa May requested a Brexit extension-time (till 30th June) that Brussels has already repeatedly rejected.\n\nMost EU leaders are leaning toward a longer Brexit delay to avoid being constantly approached by the PM for a rolling series of short extensions... with the threat of a no-deal Brexit always just around the corner.\n\nDonald Tusk, the president of the European Council, believes he has hit on a compromise solution: his \"flextension\", which would last a year with the UK able to walk away from it as soon as Parliament ratifies the Brexit deal.\n\nBut EU leaders are not yet singing from the same hymn sheet on this. Expect closed-door political fireworks, although it's unclear whether it'll be a modest display or an all-out extravaganza - at their emergency Brexit summit next week. Under EU law, they have to hammer out a unanimous position.\n\nThe EU has previously said that the UK must decide by 12 April whether it will stand candidates in May's European Parliamentary elections, or else the option of a long extension to Brexit would become impossible.\n\nTalks between Conservative ministers and Labour lasted nearly five hours on Thursday.\n\nMr Corbyn has written to his MPs saying discussions included customs arrangements, single market alignment, internal security, the need for legal underpinning to any agreements and a \"confirmatory\" vote.\n\nThe main item of business in the last frantic 24 hours has been the cross-party talks between the Conservatives and the Labour Party.\n\nFrom both sides, it sounds like they are serious and genuine, and negotiators got into the guts of both their positions and technical details on Thursday.\n\nRemember, behind the scenes there isn't as much difference between the two sides' versions of Brexit as the hue and cry of Parliament implies.\n\nBut the political, not the policy, distance between the two is plainly enormous.\n\nShadow Treasury minister Clive Lewis told the BBC the party would not be talking to the government if a \"confirmatory referendum\" was not an option.\n\nBut 25 Labour MPs - including a number representing Leave-voting seats - have written to Mr Corbyn, saying another referendum should not be included in any compromise Brexit deal.\n\nAsked whether another referendum on any final deal was a credible option, Mr Cox said: \"A good deal of persuasion might be needed to satisfy the government that a second referendum would be appropriate. But of course we will consider any suggestion that's made.\"\n\nIf the talks fail, the government faces an additional obstacle in the form of a backbench bill which would force the PM to seek a new delay.\n\nPassed by MPs by one vote on Wednesday, the bill is being scrutinised by the House of Lords, who will next consider the draft legislation on Monday.\n\nMinisters have argued it could increase \"the risk of an accidental no-deal\" in the event the EU agreed to an extension but argued for a different date than one specified by MPs.\n\nThat would mean Mrs May having to bring the issue back to the Commons on 11 April, when European leaders would have returned home, the prime minister's spokesman said.\n\nAfter a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Dublin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country still hoped for an \"orderly Brexit\".\n\nAngela Merkel visited Dublin for the first time in five years\n\n\"We will do everything in order to prevent... Britain crashing out of the European Union,\" she said.\n\n\"But we have to do this together with Britain and with their position that they will present to us.\"", "The EastEnders star says she no longer drives and does not go out socially\n\nEastEnders veteran June Brown has said she can no longer recognise her friends as she deals with age-related macular degeneration at the age of 92.\n\nThe actress, who plays Dot in the BBC One show, says she has lived with the condition for 10 years.\n\nThe sight-losing condition is common and can first affect people in their 50s and 60s.\n\nSpeaking to the Daily Mirror, Brown said she has no central vision at all and can no longer respond to fan mail.\n\n\"I haven't driven for years and I can't really go out socially due to my eyesight,\" said the actress.\n\nBrown has starred in EastEnders since 1985 and revealed in 2018 that this will be her last year on the show.\n\nJune Brown has starred in Eastenders since 1985\n\nThe actress said her condition was getting worse despite undergoing eye surgery in 2017.\n\n\"I never go to soap awards or suchlike now.\" she said. \"I don't recognise people that I know and they would think I was snubbing them.\n\n\"Just pray for your health and strength, hearing and eyesight, and an active mind,\" she added.\n\nDegeneration of the macula leads to loss of vision at the centre of the field of view\n\nAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common condition which usually starts to affect people in their 50s and 60s.\n\nAlthough it does not cause total blindness, it can make everyday activities like reading, watching TV and recognising faces very difficult and can worsen without treatment.\n\nSymptoms can include seeing straight lines as wavy or crooked, objects looking smaller than normal and seeing things that are not there.\n\nThe exact cause of macular degeneration is unknown, but it has been linked to smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight and having a family history of the condition.\n\nThere are two types of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), dry AMD and wet AMD.\n\nThere is no treatment for dry AMD but vision aids can help with day-to-day life.

(1) The wind on Mars; (2) the reported 6 April event; and (3) the movement of the probe's robot arm as it takes photos.\n\nAstronauts installed five seismometers that measured thousands of quakes while operating on the Moon between 1969 and 1977.\n\nInSight's seismometer system incorporates French (low-frequency) and British (high-frequency) sensors. Known as the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), the instrument was lifted on to the Martian surface by the probe's robotic arm on 19 December.\n\nBoth parts of the system observed the 6 April signal, although it wasn't possible to extract any information to make a more definitive statement about the likely source or the distance from the probe to the event.\n\n\"It's probably only a Magnitude 1 to 2 event, perhaps within 100km or so. There are a lot of uncertainties on that, but that's what it's looking like,\" said Prof Tom Pike, who leads the British side of the seismometer package.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Prof Tom Pike: \"The signal had a startling similarity to what's been seen with Moonquakes\"\n\nThe UK high-frequency sensors are cut from silicon\n\nDr Bruce Banerdt is Nasa's chief scientist on the InSight mission. He added: \"This particular Marsquake - the first one we've seen - is a very, very small one. In fact, if you live in Southern California like I do, you wouldn't even notice this one in your day-to-life. But since Mars is so quiet, this is something that we're able to pick up with our instrument.\"\n\nThe team is investigating three other signals picked up only by the low-frequency sensors - on 14 March (Sol 105), 10 April (Sol 132) and 11 April (Sol 133). However, these were even smaller than the Sol 128 event, and the InSight scientists do not have the confidence yet to claim them as real seismic events.\n\nThe probe's prime mission is set to run for two Earth years - a little more than one Martian year.\n\nGiven the time taken to make this first detection, it might suggest InSight should record another dozen or so seismic signals in the initial operating period, explained Prof Pike.\n\n\"When you've got one, you don't know whether you were just lucky, but when we see two or three we will have a better idea,\" the Imperial College London researcher told BBC News.\n\n\"Of course, if the other three are confirmed then we could be looking at quite a large number of detections over the next two years.\"\n\nSEIS was developed and provided for InSight by the French space agency (CNES).\n\nThe UK Space Agency funded the £5m British involvement. Sue Horne, the UKSA's head of space exploration, commented: \"Thanks to the Apollo missions of the 1960s we know that Moonquakes exist. So, it's exciting to see the Mars results coming in, now indicating the existence of Marsquakes which will lead to a better understanding of what's below the surface of the Red Planet.\"", "The bomb - seen in the lower left - was uncovered during construction work\n\nA 250kg (550lb) World War Two bomb caused damage in a German city when it exploded on Wednesday under controlled circumstances.\n\nIt was discovered in the southern city of Regensburg during construction work.\n\nThe bomb could not be transported or defused, experts found.

Members of the local police were among those who turned out to pay their respects.\n\nWhile his actions didn't save him, they did save the lives of many others.\n\nAs I chatted to Chrishanthini she barely shed a tear, but then as she shared fond memories of her life partner whose life had been taken away, she broke down.\n\n\"I love my Jesus, I love my Jesus,\" she cried, as tears streamed down her face.\n\nFor Chrishantini the pain of loss is all too familiar.\n\nAt 40, she has lived most of her live as an orphan, after both her parents were murdered in Sri Lanka's bloody civil war.\n\n\"My mother was killed when I was very young, she had her throat cut,\" she told me. \"A few years later my father was also killed in suspicious circumstances,\" she adds.\n\nIf that wasn't enough pain, Chrishantini also tells me her aunt died in the boxing day Tsunami in 2004, which claimed more than 2,000 lives in Batticaloa.\n\nThis scenic stretch of the country's east coast has witnessed large-scale tragedy on so many occasions, and it's people like Chrishantini who live through the daily anguish.\n\nNothing can bring back her dear Ramesh, but his heroic actions - which spared other families pain - at least help comfort her own.\n\nFor the latest updates from Sri Lanka, follow Rajini on Twitter - @BBCRajiniv", "St Anthony's Church, the site of one of the deadliest Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka, is renowned as a place of worship open to all faiths, but the attacks have shut its doors for now.\n\nFor the first time in its 175-year history, people are being turned away.\n\nThe road to the shrine in Colombo's Kochchikade district is a familiar one to many, who - regardless of their religion - would regularly come here to seek blessings.\n\nSt Anthony's is a Roman Catholic church but its patron has acquired a reputation among the wider population for being a \"miracle worker\". No request, no matter how large, small or strangely specific, is left unanswered by St Anthony, people say.\n\nOn Monday, however, a day after the bomb blast ripped through its entrance, things are very different. The attack here was one of eight across the country which killed 310 people and injured many more.\n\nPolice are fanned out near the turn-off to the church, marked by its distinctive large statue of St Anthony, mounted on a pedestal. The perimeter of the church itself has been cordoned off with yellow tape and is being guarded by armed security officers.\n\nSecurity has been stepped up across the country in the wake of the attacks\n\nDespite this, a sizeable crowd is still gathered outside, veering as close to the perimeter as they dare, most just staring at the large white building. From a distance it looks untouched, but look harder and hints of the carnage that took place inside become more visible.\n\nNear its entrance, half hidden by a wall, you can see bits of rubble and shards of glass. The clock on its left tower is frozen at 8.45 - the time the blast took place.\n\nThere were so many casualties here because such a large crowd had gathered. Even on a normal day, the church is filled with worshippers. For Easter Mass, the chief priest thought well over 1,000 people were in the congregation.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nScores are thought to have been killed at St Anthony's - it's not clear yet how many lost their lives.\n\nAmong those gathered outside the church is Prabath Buddhika. Although Mr Buddhika is Buddhist by religion, like many others, he is a strong believer in the power of St Anthony.\n\n\"My house is right here,\" he said, adding that he'd been attending the church since he was a child and gone along with his family many times.\n\nPrabath Buddhika says he cannot describe the carnage he saw\n\nLike many others, Mr Buddhika ran to the church after hearing the explosions. The carnage he saw there could not be described, he says, but people fearlessly came forward from around the area in order to help.\n\nAmong them was Peter Michael Fernando, a Catholic who lives close to the church. He was asleep when the blast occurred, he says, waking up after his \"bed shook\" with the force of the explosion. He ran towards the church after seeing plumes of smoke rising into the sky.\n\n\"There were bodies and parts of bodies everywhere. I saw there were two people who were still alive so I helped them to an ambulance. I was weeping.\"\n\nMr Fernando says what stayed with him was the number of children he saw among the dead and injured. \"They were screaming, they were bleeding. We tried to help as many as we could. I carried a little girl into one of the vans - she had lost a leg,\" he said, breaking down again.\n\nPeter Michael Fernando says the force of the blast shook him awake\n\nA little distance away stands Anuja Subasinghe, a nurse. She has been staring at the church for a long time.\n\n\"This church is for those who carry unbearable sadness - it gives them solace,\" she says with tears in her eyes. \"Who would do something like this? Why would they do this?\"\n\nShe couldn't come for Sunday's Easter Mass because she had to report for duty, but on Monday morning she felt she needed to be there for the church.\n\n\"My husband died 12 years ago and the only thing that got me through that terrible tragedy was this church,\" she says. \"I didn't need any other man. St Anthony was enough for me.\"\n\nLike Mr Buddhika, Ms Subasinghe was born a Buddhist, but converted to Christianity after discovering the church.\n\nSo what is it about this church and St Anthony in particular that has captured the imagination of so many people?\n\nAccording to Father Leo Perera, a parish priest who serves nearby, part of it is to do with the fact St Anthony's Church has always been associated with miracles.\n\nIn fact, its very origin has been attributed to one.\n\nFather Perera says the attacks will not erode faith in the church\n\nAccording to local legend and the written history of the archdiocesan archives, St Anthony's Church was built by a priest from Cochin in southern India, named Father Antonio. He secretly practised Catholicism during the Dutch rule of Colombo in the 18th Century, although it had been named a proscribed religion.\n\nHe was able to build the church, the legend says, after performing a miracle. The locals had come to him in panic after seeing the sea rising and asked him to pray for it to recede. He did, and the sea not only receded, but a sand bank suddenly emerged from the waters. So he planted a cross there and built a small mud church, in which he remained until his death.\n\nThe other reason, Father Leo says, is the fact that many people have testified that the church has answered prayers and restored faith.\n\n\"Everyone who goes there comes away with the happy feeling that their prayers have been heard,\" he said, adding that on special celebratory feast days, the church was always full of grateful people who had come to give offerings as thanks for having their prayers heard.\n\nBut what next, I ask him? Will the attacks erode people's faith in the power of this church?\n\n\"Absolutely not,\" he says with emotion.\n\n\"You cannot keep people away from here just because of something like this. They will keep coming back because this is the time they want the presence of God in their life. There is no way this will affect the power of this church and the faith of its believers.\"\n\nThis sentiment is echoed by Mr Buddhika.\n\n\"This is no ordinary church. Whoever did this didn't know what they were messing with - they cannot simply get away with something like this.\n\n\"They will pay for this over generations.\"\n\nAnd this is because St Anthony's is so much more than just a place of worship. It is a symbol of Sri Lanka's plurality and tolerance. A reminder that in a country, still bruised by the memories of a brutal civil war and inter-religious violence, its diverse communities have traditionally lived together peacefully and embraced each other's beliefs and differences.\n\nThat perhaps explains why so many of them still came together to stand in front of the church, to express sadness and horror at what took place within.\n\nIn its darkest hour, the church continues to be a symbol of hope - with many Sri Lankans choosing to stand together despite the hatred that has unfolded among them.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"Justice is not inevitable\": Amal Clooney spoke at the UN Security Council meeting\n\nThe Trump administration's opposition to abortion has led to the watering-down of a UN resolution on ending sexual violence in war.\n\nThe US removed all references to sexual and reproductive health.\n\nThe Security Council resolution, submitted by Germany, dropped all such references.

He told the New York Times he wanted the cinema experience \"to remain relevant in our culture\".\n\nNetflix has previously said it should be easier for people who can't get to the cinema to see films.\n\nAt Tuesday's meeting, the Academy decided that movies will remain eligible if they are released in at least one Los Angeles cinema for at least a week before or at the same time as they are made available to stream.\n\nAcademy president John Bailey said: \"We support the theatrical experience as integral to the art of motion pictures, and this weighed heavily in our discussions.\n\n\"Our rules currently require theatrical exhibition, and also allow for a broad selection of films to be submitted for Oscars consideration.\"\n\nNoting \"profound changes\" in the film industry, Mr Bailey added that the board would \"continue discussions with our members about these issues\".\n\nIn March, the US Justice Department wrote a letter warning the Academy that changes to eligibility rules - which might freeze out competition form streaming services - might violate antitrust laws.\n\nAnd earlier this month, Oscar-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren gave Netflix short shrift at an event for cinema exhibitors in Las Vegas.\n\nSpielberg has been a previous critic of the eligibility rules\n\nLast year, Spielberg said: \"I don't believe that films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theatres for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.\"\n\nIn a new statement to the New York Times, he said: \"I want people to find their entertainment in any form or fashion that suits them.

Her opera roles included Titania in A Midsummer's Night Dream, Gilda in Rigoletto and Violetta in La Traviata.\n\nThe singer took the stage at storied theatres worldwide, including the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center in New York, the John F Kennedy Center in Washington DC and the Palace of the Arts in Budapest.\n\nTillemann-Dick on vacation in Argentina with her husband\n\nTillmann-Dick was raised in Denver, Colorado, growing up in a Mormon-Jewish family alongside her 10 siblings.\n\nThough she loved to sing from an early age, cherishing family trips to the symphony and opera, Tillemann-Dick initially thought she might pursue a career in politics.\n\nShe would be following in the footsteps of her grandfather, Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor who served as a Democrat in the House of Representatives for almost 30 years, and an older brother, Tomicah Tillemann, who worked as a speech writer for Hillary Clinton.\n\n\"That's kind of our family trade I suppose,\" Tillemann-Dick said of politics in an interview with BBC World Service in 2013.\n\nBut after graduating from college and spending time on a few political campaigns, she made the choice to return to music.\n\n\"I decided I could never forgive myself if I didn't try my hand at music\", she told the BBC.\n\nTillemann-Dick began an intensive training programme at the renowned Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary.\n\nAt age 20 she was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, a rare disease marked by extreme pressure on the heart with no apparent cause.\n\nThe condition had caused Tillemann-Dick's heart to swell three and a half times beyond its normal size.\n\nThe diagnosis provided an explanation for her recent fainting spells and shortness of breath, and carried a life expectancy of two to five years.\n\nTillemann-Dick had said that one of her doctors told her she should stop singing for her condition.\n\nHoping to avoid a lung transplant, Tillemann-Dick was prescribed Flolan, a liquid medication delivered directly to the heart through a tube in her chest.\n\nTillemann-Dick lived with her husband in Baltimore\n\nThe pump, along with the necessary ice packs and auxiliary equipment, weighed about 4lbs (2kg), Tillemann-Dick told the BBC.\n\nNot wanting to draw attention to her condition as she continued to audition and perform, Tillemann-Dick said she would strap her medication to her thigh.\n\n\"Sopranos are unpredictable enough, without critical illness,\" she said,\n\nIn 2009, five years after the initial diagnosis, Tillemann-Dick received her first double lung transplant at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.\n\nThough the transplant was life-saving, Tilleman-Dick said she was very concerned about the surgery, particularly its impact on her voice.\n\n\"I had spent a lifetime training my body and my lungs and my voice to work in sync and I knew I would lose all of that,\" she told the BBC.\n\nThe brutal surgery put Tillemann-Dick in a coma for over a month, unable to breathe on her own for almost two months.\n\nEating, walking and talking came next before Tillemann-Dick finally tried to sing again.\n\nThe first song she tried, she said, was Smile - made famous by Nat King Cole.\n\nThe average lung transplant lasts for about five years, but Tillemann-Dick's body began to reject the transplanted organs just months after surgery.\n\nAs she awaited another donor match, doctors told her family that Tillemann-Dick was unlikely to survive, according to the Washington Post.\n\nBut as she waited, Tillemann-Dick continued to sing.\n\nIn 2011, still without functioning lungs, she debuted at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater. As she sang, Tilleman-Dick had an oxygen tank and wheelchair waiting in the wings.\n\n\"I could barely breathe but I could still sing\", she told the BBC. \"It was a miracle.\"\n\nIn January 2012, she underwent her second double-lung transplant, from a middle-aged Honduran American woman.\n\nTillemann-Dick became close friends with her donor's daughter, Esperanza Tufani.\n\nTillemann-Dick's debut album, American Grace, reached number one on the traditional classical charts on Billboard upon release\n\nApparently undeterred by her illness, Tillemann-Dick continued to pursue her career, singing with a new pair of lungs.\n\nHer debut album, American Grace, reached no 1 on Billboard's traditional classical charts upon its release in 2014.\n\nTillemann-Dick's dedication to music was perhaps matched by her advocacy work.\n\nShe was a national spokeswoman for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, working to raise awareness, increase federal research funding and promote preventative medicine.\n\nTillemann-Dick also shared her inspiring story with audiences across the US, including at numerous TED Talks.\n\n\"It was so many miracles that paved this most unexpected of paths\", she said to the BBC.\n\nIn 2015, Tillemann-Dick was confronted with another health problem.\n\nShe was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive skin cancer, thought to be a result of the anti-rejection drugs she had taken for her lungs.\n\nTreatment required chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, including a particular procedure that required cutting a nerve on her face, affecting muscle movement on the right side of her mouth, the Washington Post reported.\n\n\"Life is full of death. Music, full of sorrow\", Tillemann-Dick wrote in her 2017 book, The Encore: A Memoir in Three Acts.\n\n\"Great artists have always amplified both.\"", "The ruthlessness of the suicide attacks has stunned Sri Lankans\n\nSri Lanka is in a state of shock and confusion, trying to understand how a little-known Islamist group may have unleashed the wave of co-ordinated suicide bombings that resulted in the Easter Sunday carnage - the worst since the end of the civil war a decade ago.\n\nThe South Asian island nation has experience of such attacks - suicide bombers were used by Tamil Tiger rebels during the civil war. But the ruthlessness of the new atrocities has stunned the nation anew.\n\nEventually the government spokesman, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne, came out and blamed National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), a home-grown Islamist group, for the bombings.\n\n\"There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded,\" he told reporters on Monday.\n\nThat might go some way to explaining how a group that has been blamed for promoting hate speech may now have been able to scale up its capacity so monumentally.\n\nOn Tuesday, however, the Islamic State (IS) group said its militants had carried out the attacks. It published a video of eight men the group claimed were behind the attacks.\n\nThe IS claim should be treated cautiously. It is not clear whether these men were trained by the group or simply inspired by IS ideology.\n\nThe manner in which NTJ was identified was circuitous. The prime minister said there had been warnings made to officials that hadn't been shared with the cabinet. He said only the president would get such briefings, even though it is not clear if he personally did in this instance.\n\nThis is not an insignificant statement from a prime minister who was at loggerheads with the president for much of the past year. Many are drawing a conclusion about how political discord can have serious consequences - as well as undermining trust in the messages being put out.\n\nIf the suicide bombers were local Sri Lankan Muslims, as stated by the government, then it is a colossal failure by the intelligence agencies. Information is also now emerging in the US media that the Sri Lankan government may also have had warnings from US and Indian intelligence about a possible threat.\n\n\"Our understanding is that [the warning] was correctly circulated among security and police,\" Shiral Lakthilaka, a senior adviser to President Maithripala Sirisena, said.\n\nThe Sri Lankan president, who oversees security forces, has now set up a committee to find out what went wrong.\n\nSri Lankan intelligence was credited with foiling several suicide attacks by the Tamil Tiger rebels at the height of the civil war and for penetrating a well-knit and ruthless Tamil Tiger organisation.\n\nWhile this is clearly a security and political failure, there are also questions about the nature of communal strife in Sri Lanka's more recent history. During the civil war, Muslims were also targeted by Tamil Tiger rebels and suffered at their hands.\n\nBut Muslim community leaders say successive Sri Lankan governments have failed to restore confidence among young Muslims following more recent attacks by some members of the majority Sinhalese Buddhist community.\n\nOne of the worst incidents was in the town of Digana in central Sri Lanka where one person died when a Sinhalese mob attacked Muslim shops and mosques in March last year.\n\nSri Lanka declared a state of emergency after attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned businesses in 2018\n\n\"After Digana quite a few Muslims lost faith in the government to provide them security. Some of them got the idea that they can defend themselves,\" says Hilmy Ahamed, vice-president of the Sri Lanka Muslim Council.\n\nThe attacks and what the youths perceived as the lack of action by the government may have led some of them towards groups like NTJ.\n\nSome of the radicals were blamed for damaging Buddhist statues in recent years and their leader was arrested last year for offending religious sentiments. He later apologised for offending the sentiments of the Buddhist Sinhalese.\n\nNow it is widely believed a new group emerged a few years ago under the leadership of Zaharan Hashim, a radical Muslim preacher from eastern Sri Lanka.\n\nMr Hashim posted several videos on social media purportedly promoting hatred against non-Muslims. Most of his videos are in the Tamil language. His teachings are said to have attracted several Muslim youths.\n\n\"This man was preaching hate with lots of YouTube videos on social media posts. Some of us reported him to the national intelligence services. Once about three years ago and once in January this year,\" says Mr Ahamed.\n\nHe added that security services did not take any action against Mr Hashim. Reports say the preacher was one of the suicide bombers though it's yet to be confirmed.\n\nLike Muslims, Christians are a minority in Sri Lanka\n\nMuslim community leaders say a few youths went to Syria to join IS, and some of them were killed in fighting there.\n\nIt's important not to overstate this, though, and a former senior military officer Maj Gen (Retired) GA Chandrasiri says \"we have very cordial relationship with the Muslims. Most Muslims are not with these people. They are peace loving people\".\n\nThere are no reports so far of a high number of jihadists returning to Sri Lanka. But even if a select few jihadists are angry with the majority, why were Christians targeted?\n\nIn the complex cocktail of Sri Lanka's religious and ethnic tensions, Christians are almost unique for not perpetrating any kind of violence on behalf of their community. After all, it is a religion that crosses ethnic lines.\n\nI covered the Sri Lankan civil war for years and reported on many Tamil Tiger suicide attacks. It took years for the group to be able to learn to detonate such devices.\n\nSo it is intriguing that a lesser-known Islamist group, with a few home-grown radicals, could carry out six - some say even seven - suicide attacks with such pinpoint precision and devastation. None of them failed.\n\nEven though connections with global jihadist groups are unclear, the choice of major luxury hotels and Christians as a target - in addition to the sophistication of the operation - makes it plausible that local radicalism has come under the influence of global jihadist networks. It would be a tried and tested pattern in global attacks.\n\nDuring the Sri Lankan civil war foreign tourists were spared and attacks on outsiders were rare. In the latest bombings, many foreigners were killed and this has raised the spectre of links with al-Qaeda or IS.\n\n\"For this type of operation you need lots of assistance from outside. You need finances, training and technique for this kind of work. You can't do these things alone. May be there was some help from outside,\" Gen Chandrasiri said.\n\nThe number of tourists visiting Sri Lanka has soared after the end of the civil war\n\nViolence is not new to Sri Lanka.

So does allowing a Chinese company to build those networks put people at risk of being spied on or even switched off?\n\nThat is the concern from Washington and other critics who wanted the company excluded.\n\nBut deciding to ban Huawei entirely from the network would have risked slowing down the development of 5G and also upsetting China.\n\nThe UK believes it has experience in managing the risks posed by Huawei and can continue to do so going forward.\n\nBut one retired senior intelligence official recently told me his view on what to do about Huawei had changed.\n\nIn the past, he said, he had believed the policy of managing the risk had been sufficient. But now he was less sure.\n\nThe reason was not to do with any change in his view of what the company could do. Rather it was about the risks to relationships with close allies, namely those of the Five Eyes and US.\n\nForeign Affairs Committee chairman Tom Tugendhat tweeted that allowing Huawei to build some of the UK's 5G infrastructure would \"cause allies to doubt our ability to keep data secure and erode the trust essential to #FiveEyes cooperation\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Ren Zhengfei described the arrest of his daughter Meng Wanzhou as politically motivated\n\nBut Australia and New Zealand have sounded negative about Huawei's involvement in their 5G networks to varying degrees, and Canada is still deciding.\n\nAll eyes are now on the UK.\n\nIn a speech in Brussels on Wednesday, Ciaran Martin, chief executive of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, set out the framework for considering the security of 5G based on its experience so far of working with the company.\n\nThe current oversight regime was \"arguably the toughest and most rigorous\" in the world for Huawei, he said.\n\nHis officials say they have found ''poor security and engineering\" by the company, but the indications are still that the UK may work with Huawei on 5G.\n\nIf that is the decision then other countries - not only in the Five Eyes but also the EU and Nato - may well be tempted to follow, using the UK as a reference point because of its track record of scrutiny. There could be consequences, former officials warn.\n\nCiaran Martin said the UK would \"not compromise on the improvements we need to see from Huawei\"\n\n\"Worries about the security of UK networks following their exposure to Huawei may make the Five Eyes partners, and perhaps others such as France, Germany or Japan, less inclined to co-operate with the UK in the future,\" Charles Parton, a former British diplomat, argues in a new paper for the think tank Rusi.\n\n\"The maintenance of a 'Five Eyes standard' of cyber-security in telecommunications is a vital strategic and security interest, the loss of which would go far beyond a reduction in intelligence reports exchanged, and might lead to the UK being excluded from work on developing future technologies for intelligence collection.\"\n\nThe UK's special relationship with Huawei came about in the early 2000s, when BT was upgrading its networks and the Chinese firm came in much cheaper than the alternatives - by hundreds of millions of pounds.\n\nBT told the government it planned to use the company unless the government was willing to compensate it. Even though Huawei was kept out of the core of the network and sensitive systems, concerns over security and the growing use of Huawei by other companies led - a few years later - to the creation of a \"cell\" to evaluate the security of Huawei products coming into the UK.\n\nThe cell's last oversight report downgraded the assurance about mitigating the risks associated with Huawei, because of serious problems with security and engineering processes.\n\nHowever, Mr Martin said in his speech, the report said that these were not indicators of hostile activity by China, .\n\nThe company says it will invest money to deal with these concerns in the coming years, although UK officials say that so far they have not seen \"a credible plan\".\n\nHuawei's 5G antennas and masts are already being tested in the UK\n\nDespite that, the indications are that the UK wants to hold out against US pressure and continue to work with the company on 5G.\n\nA decision is expected in the next two months by ministers who will need to balance security with costs and the risks to wider relationships.\n\n\"Resilience is key,\" Mr Martin said in Brussels.\n\n\"There must be sustainable diversity in the supplier market.\"\n\nThat was one signal that even though the UK may work with Huawei, it is cautious about ending up with one dominant player on whom it is dependent.\n\nBut critics fear that Huawei - possibly with Chinese state backing - is working its way into a dominant position in the long term, particularly by penetrating markets in the developing world and by setting standards for 5G.\n\nOne of the biggest challenges with 5G is cost.\n\nIn many countries, telecoms companies paid much more for the 5G spectrum than they had expected. They are now looking at the sums and indicating their strong preference for the cheapest vendor - Huawei.\n\nTelecoms operators in the UK say the way in which 5G can work in a highly integrated system alongside 4G means that excluding Huawei is not realistic without significant cost and delay, including potentially removing existing hardware, leading to the UK falling behind.\n\nBreaking the ties with the company could also have significant consequences for the UK-China relationship which poses challenges with Brexit approaching.\n\nBut the question will be how the US and the Trump administration reacts if the UK does not follow its line - especially if other countries use the UK as cover to follow and work with Huawei. This at a time when the UK may be looking for a post-Brexit trade deal with Washington.\n\nIt potentially leaves the UK between a rock and a hard place and is one more reason why the Huawei decision is placing strain on the historically close Five Eyes intelligence relationship.\n• None The US cannot crush us, says Huawei boss", "Nicola Sturgeon has called for a referendum on Scottish independence before the next Holyrood election in 2021.\n\nThe first minister said the Scottish government would introduce legislation to set the rules for a referendum.\n\nMs Sturgeon told MSPs that such a vote is the only way to preserve devolution and protect Scotland's place in Europe.\n\nShe also acknowledged that a transfer of powers from Westminster would be needed to put the bill into practice.", "Daniel and Amelie Linsey were among eight Britons killed in Sunday's bombings\n\nTributes are being paid to members of three British families who were among more than 300 people killed in Easter Sunday's bombings in Sri Lanka.\n\nThe deaths of London siblings Daniel and Amelie Linsey have \"shocked\" their schools, staff said.\n\nEight Britons are known to have died in the attacks, including Dr Sally Bradley and Bill Harrop, both from Manchester, who were described as \"soulmates\".\n\nAnita Nicholson and her two children also died in a blast at a hotel.\n\nThe death toll from the wave of attacks on churches and hotels in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa has now risen to 321, with about 500 injured, police say.\n\nForeign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the attack was \"complex, highly co-ordinated and designed to cause maximum chaos, damage and heartbreak\".\n\nA team of family liaison officers has been sent to Sri Lanka to support the families of British victims and help repatriate the deceased, Mr Hunt said.\n\nThe father of Amelie and Daniel Linsey has been describing his desperate attempt to save his two teenage children.\n\nIn an emotional interview with CNN, Matt Linsey, a London-based American investment banker, said the pair were returning from the hotel buffet when a bomb went off.\n\nHe said his instinct was to get them out of there but as he tried to do so a second bomb exploded, leaving both unconscious.\n\nHe said a woman offered to help his daughter, who appeared to be moving, to an ambulance.\n\nMeanwhile, Mr Linsey lost his voice yelling for help to get his son, who was not moving, to an ambulance.\n\nMr Linsey accompanied Daniel, 19, in an ambulance to hospital.

We are probably the most poked and prodded organisation too.\"\n\nThe former UK chief information officer added: \"We don't say 'believe us' we say 'come and check for yourself', come and do your own testing and come and do your own verification.\n\n\"The more people looking, the more people touching, they can provide their own assurance without listening to what Huawei has to say.\"\n\nIf anybody knows just how Huawei works and the threat it might pose to the UK's security, it is the National Cyber Security Centre.\n\nThis arm of GCHQ has been in charge of an annual examination of the Chinese telecoms giant's equipment, and expressed concerns in its most recent report - not about secret backdoors, but sloppy cyber-security practices.\n\nThe NCSC has also been giving advice to UK mobile operators as they order the equipment for the rollout of their 5G networks later this year.\n\nThey feel they have been given the same cautious nod the agency appears to have given the government's Supply Chain Review: keep Huawei out of the core of your 5G networks, but you are OK to use its equipment at phone masts as part of the mix of suppliers.\n\nAustralia and New Zealand have taken a very different view by taking a far harder line against Huawei.\n\nThat isn't because they know something about the Chinese firm which the NCSC has missed.\n\nTheir decisions were probably based on an assessment of the political as well as security risk of ignoring the urging from the US to shut Huawei out.\n\nAnd whatever the NCSC's advice, similar factors will determine the UK government's final decision.\n\nA spokesperson for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, which is leading the review into the future of the telecoms industry, said its analysis was \"ongoing\".\n\n\"No decisions have been taken and any suggestion to the contrary is inaccurate,\" they said in a statement.\n\nAsked whether the findings changed her country's stance towards Huawei, the prime minister of New Zealand - which is a member of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network that includes the UK - said her government would conduct its own assessment.\n\nJacinda Ardern told reporters: \"It is fair to say Five Eyes, of course, share information, but we make our own independent decisions.\"\n\nLast year, BT confirmed that it was removing Huawei's equipment from the EE core network that it owns.\n\nThe network provides a communication system being developed for the UK's emergency services.\n\nFifth-generation mobile broadband is coming to the UK over the next year or so, promising download and browsing speeds 10 to 20 times faster than those 4G networks can offer.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Some of the factors impacting on wild salmon stocks may be beyond human control.\n\n\"But the regulatory authorities now have a historic opportunity to do everything in their power to safeguard the species in those areas where they can make a difference.\"\n\nIn the past campaigners have claimed fish farms are to blame for wild salmon deaths as a result of sea lice originating from the farms.\n\nAnd a Scottish Parliament inquiry has recommended new farms be positioned away from established migratory routes for wild salmon.\n\nThe annual economic value of Scottish salmon passed the £1bn mark for the first time last year and the 226 active farms support 10,000 jobs, many of which are in rural communities.\n\nThe Scottish Environmental Protection Agency has previously said one in five salmon farms failed to meet environmental standards\n\nAndrew Graham-Stewart, director of Salmon and Trout Conservation Scotland, said: \"Continuing low salmon numbers underline the vital importance of mitigating those man-made negative impacts, which are within our grasp to tackle, as a matter of urgency.\n\n\"One of the most critical factors is the impact of open-net salmon farms, in particular the release into the wider environment of vast numbers of deadly parasitic sea lice, on wild salmon numbers.\"\n\nThe salmon farming industry has insisted it is working hard to find solutions to the problem of sea lice, and is making progress in rearing so-called cleaner fish which feed off the lice, avoiding the need for chemicals.\n\nThe Scottish government will publish the official wild salmon population data later.\n\nEnvironment secretary Roseanna Cunningham said the fall in the salmon catch was down to a range of complex factors, \"many of which are outwith our control, including the unprecedented water shortages Scotland experienced last summer\".\n\nShe added: \"We have identified 12 groups of high level pressures on the species, and we're working closely with key partners to address these. Last year, for example, we committed £500,000 to fund research so we can better understand the problem and mitigate against it.\n\n\"In addition, we are providing around £5m a year to the Water Environment Fund to allow Sepa to remove barriers to fish migration in rivers around Scotland.\"", "Kelsey was described as \"a truly lovely man and great company member\"\n\nEdward Kelsey, who played Joe Grundy on BBC Radio 4 soap The Archers for 34 years, has died at the age of 88.\n\nThe actor first appeared on air as the irascible patriarch of the Grundy clan in 1985.\n\nKelsey had given \"one of the great performances in the history of British radio\", editor Jeremy Howe said.\n\nThe actor was also known for voicing the characters Colonel K and Baron Silas Greenback on the 1980s children's animated series Danger Mouse.\n\nHowe described his performance on The Archers as \"idiosyncratic, warm, cantankerous yet generous, dripping with the Grundy magic and wonderfully funny\".\n\nJoe Grundy was fond of his daughter-in-law Clarrie, played here by Rosalind Adams\n\nHe added: \"Ted's Joe Grundy was a brilliant creation because Ted was a brilliant actor - and a truly lovely man and great company member.\n\n\"A cherished part of our team, I am sure all of us will agree that working with Ted was a rare privilege and he will be very much missed.\"\n\nIn a statement, his family said the actor \"counted himself immensely lucky that he was able to enjoy a long and varied career doing the thing that he loved\".\n\nThey added: \"He had an insatiably curious mind and never lost his appetite for lively conversation, good company and, of course, a great storyline.\"\n\nThe Archers' Tim Bentinck has said it was a privilege to work with Kelsey, who he said gave an \"object lesson in great radio acting.\"\n\nBentinck, who plays David Archer, said his character's next birthday would be particularly poignant because he shared his special day with Joe.\n\n\"It was a privilege and a huge pleasure to work with him when Joe and David had scenes together,\" said Bentick, \"and they share a birthday, which, with David's 60th coming up, will be poignant as the first one David doesn't share with Joe.\"\n\nHe added: \"He brought such life and subtlety to his performances, an object lesson in great radio acting.\"\n\nFans have paid tribute to the actor on social media.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

He was head of military intelligence during the conflict and atrocities in Darfur, for which he was put on a US list for targeted financial sanctions.\n\nThere was no mention of the involvement of civilians in the two-year transition\n\nHe was defence minister and after President Bashir declared a state of emergency on 22 February, Gen Ibn Auf was also promoted to serve as vice-president, with the implication that he would step into the president's shoes when the his constitutional term expired in April 2020.\n\nThe trigger for the removal of Mr Bashir was a five-day round-the-clock peaceful protest in which tens of thousands of people surrounded the army headquarters in Khartoum, demanding that the president step down.\n\nBut what happened next was determined by hard bargaining within those buildings, among the military oligarchs who sat just beneath the president in the security hierarchy.\n\nDuring the course of Thursday, there was a protracted silence from the military headquarters while Gen Ibn Auf, the senior commanders of the Sudan Armed Forces and other key security figures such as Gen Salah Abdalla Gosh, head of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS), haggled over the political dispensation that would follow Mr Bashir's removal.\n\nWhen Gen Ibn Auf finally addressed the nation, he announced the removal of President Bashir, the abolition of the constitution, the formation of a transitional military council, a state of emergency and a two-year transition. But he did not invite opposition representatives into government. In fact, he did not even offer to talk to them.\n\nThe details of the pact among the security cabal are not public. But the outline is clear.\n\nFirst, the army, NISS and the paramilitary leaders (such as Mohamed Hamdan \"Hemeti\", commander of the Rapid Support Forces) want to share power among themselves.\n\nThey want to avoid a repeat of clashes that occurred earlier in the week, when army units fired on NISS militiamen who were trying to disperse the crowd of protesters by force, let alone an internecine war on the streets of the capital.\n\nSecond, the cabal is aligned with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, Qatar and Turkey have lost out.\n\nThe new leadership dissolved the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and reportedly arrested many veteran Muslim Brothers.\n\nPresident Omar al-Bashir (centre) came to power after a coup in 1989\n\nThey are busy telling Western countries that the Islamists had planned a coup, which needed to be forestalled by the army takeover, and that the protesters demanding democracy are also Muslim Brothers in disguise. It's not a very convincing story, but it points to future tensions because the Islamists still have a strong following in Sudan.\n\nThird, the coup leaders will protect the ousted president, even while they blame him publicly for the country's ills.\n\nThe official announcement spoke of him being kept in a \"safe place\". They will not hand him over to the International Criminal Court, where he is wanted for crimes in relation to the Darfur conflict. Partly this is because they are no less responsible than Mr Bashir for the atrocities in Darfur and elsewhere.\n\nYou may also be interested in:\n\nIt is also because that they know that one of his biggest assets was his reputation for loyalty to the officer corps, and they hope that some of that legacy will rub off on them. Keeping the current security coalition intact will be impossible if any one of them starts fearing he may be handed to a foreign power or court.\n\nAnd fourth, they have not decided how to handle the challenge posed by the demonstrators, who are still massed on the streets.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Rather, they are buying time so that they can decide whether to follow the path of repression or co-option, or more likely a bit of both.\n\nSudan has taken one step back from the precipice of bloodshed on the streets of the capital, but only one.

Ours is a family of four minus one.\"\n\nThe court was told the pair, who met at Nottingham University, had been together for three years but by late 2018 they had broken up at the request of Miss Devey Waterhouse, who was originally from Frome in Somerset.\n\nBoth were seeing other people but prosecutors said Atkinson had failed to come to terms with the separation.\n\nWhile Atkinson was on a Christmas night out with colleagues on 13 December, maths graduate Miss Devey Waterhouse remained at the flat they still shared on The Avenue, chatting to her new boyfriend on the telephone.\n\nThe court was told how, in the early hours of 14 December, Atkinson returned to the flat and attacked her.\n\nForensic evidence showed Miss Devey Waterhouse tried to fight him off, but collapsed in the hallway. She had suffered about 70 knife injuries all over her body.\n\nAfterwards, Atkinson attempted to clean the scene and dispose of his clothes, only contacting the emergency services hours later.\n\nJason Pitter, prosecuting, said: \"Poppy Devey Waterhouse was a prodigiously talented mathematician - who was described as brilliant and beautiful - who, at the age of 24, had her whole life ahead of her.\n\n\"It was a life cruelly taken away from her just before Christmas last year, because this defendant realised he was not going to be a part of this future.\"\n\nDet Supt Nicola Bryar, of West Yorkshire Police, said Atkinson's claim that the killing had been self-defence had soon unravelled.\n\n\"We established that he had spent some significant time disposing of evidence and attempting to alter the crime scene over the hours before the ambulance service and police were called to the flat.\n\n\"He has never explained why he did what he did, but he will now have a significant period of time in prison to reflect on what he has done and the hurt that has caused to so many people who knew and loved Poppy.\"", "The toppling of 75-year-old man Omar al-Bashir as Sudan’s president has raised the possibility of him standing trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC), where he’s wanted on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Darfur.\n\nHe was the first sitting president of a country to be indicted by the ICC and the first person to be charged with genocide.\n\nMr Bashir, who denies the allegations, has been wanted by the ICC in The Hague for more than a decade.\n\nThe fact he’s continued to travel extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East has served to highlight the impotence of a court, which depends upon countries co-operation to actually arrest and surrender suspects.\n\nSo what hope of that happening now?\n\nLt-Gen Omar Zain al-Abidin, the head of the political military committee, addressing a press conference said, \"Bashir will be tried in our judicial system”.\n\n“No Sudanese will be extradited to face trial in a foreign court.”\n\nYou can understand their logic based on self-interest, some of the people still in power might be implicated in the crimes attributed to Mr Bashir, including attempts to destroy two ethnic groups loyal to rebels opposed to the Sudanese regime.\n\nBut the military did acknowledge a future civilian government might choose to deal with the matter differently.\n\nBackdoor discussions will be taking place with various international stakeholders to obtain some international support - and the extradition of this court’s most high-profile fugitive might be a powerful negotiation card.\n\nThe African Union could be a key player here - which has consistently \"defended\" the former president and sought to undermine the legitimacy of the ICC.\n\nIt’s too early, and situation still too volatile, to say with any certainty whether a man whose iron grip on power was until relatively recently considered un-removable will ever find himself facing international justice.\n\nThe court is for now staying silent - in public at least.\n\nThe prosecutor is undoubtedly dusting off case files and trying to ascertain whether investigators will, for the first time ever, actually be able to visit the region to try to gather evidence of crimes that were allegedly committed years ago.", "Interior Minister María Paula Romo said a person \"close to Wikileaks\" had been arrested\n\nA man with close ties to Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested while trying to leave Ecuador, the country's interior ministry says.\n\nInterior Minister María Paula Romo did not name the man but said he had been arrested for \"investigative purposes\".\n\nAn unnamed government official told the Associated Press that the man is Ola Bini, a Swedish software developer.\n\nIt comes just hours after Assange was himself arrested at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.\n\n\"A person close to Wikileaks, who has been residing in Ecuador, was arrested this afternoon when he was preparing to travel to Japan,\" Ecuador's interior ministry tweeted late on Thursday.\n\nThe man has lived in Ecuador for several years and has frequently travelled to the country's London embassy where Assange had been staying, Ms Romo told CNN's Spanish language service.\n\n\"He has been detained simply for investigation purposes,\" she said.\n\nAn Ecuadorean official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press that Mr Bini had been arrested at Quito Airport.\n\nAs news of the arrest broke, friends and colleagues of Mr Bini expressed their concern on social media.\n\n\"I'm very concerned to hear that [he] has been arrested,\" Martin Fowler, a US-based computer programmer, tweeted. \"He is a strong advocate and developer supporting privacy and has not been able to speak to any lawyers.\"\n\nEarlier on Thursday, Ms Romo held a press conference and said a person with close links to Wikileaks was living in Ecuador.\n\nIn response, Mr Bini said on Twitter that her comments showed a \"witch hunt\" was under way.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

What's going on?\"\n\nVictoria Square is open for business as usual, despite structural issues affecting apartments in the complex.\n\nIt said it is \"working with the managing agents of the apartments to assist in their investigation\".\n\nMr Carroll told BBC News NI that it was his understanding that 23 residents stayed in a Holiday Inn on Wednesday night and a number of others slept in a Hampton by Hilton hotel in the city centre.\n\n\"There has been very little information and if there were any concerns over structural damage before this, we were not privy to it,\" said Mr Carroll, who moved into the apartment block in February.\n\n\"We can go back to family in Dundalk, if we have to, but I'm sure there are residents who aren't in that position.\n\n\"We're lucky that we don't have any kids to worry about, but I don't know what you'd do if you did.\"\n\nA letter to residents from McGuinness Fleck estate agency said work was being done to resolve a \"serious structural issue\".\n\nA spokesman said the repair would take 20 weeks to complete, but Mr Carroll said he only found this out because it was in the news on Thursday morning.\n\nAnother resident told BBC News NI: \"We've been told we may be out for a few days, but we've packed for a week.\n\n\"It's a bit of an inconvenience but, at the same time, it's an adventure.\"\n\nThe woman, who has lived in the complex for a few months, said there had been \"absolutely no sign of any damage\" in her apartment.\n\nA resident, who moved into the complex at the end of March, said two men called at her apartment on Wednesday evening and handed her a letter saying a structural report had revealed a problem.\n\nThe woman said she was told the apartment \"wasn't safe\" and was advised to move out as the whole block was affected by the issue.\n\nA lawyer for the Victoria Square Residential Management Company Ltd said the decision was not \"taken lightly\".\n\nEmmet McKeown of Johns Elliot Solicitors, which represents the Victoria Square Residential Management Company Ltd, said that since \"a structural issue was initially identified in February, there has been a process of detailed structural assessments of the building\".\n\nMr McKeown added: \"Engineers have been inspecting the building in coordination with the landlord for Victoria Square Shopping Centre.\n\n\"A programme of repair work will now need to be done which is being arranged at the moment.\n\n\"A timescale of 20 weeks is what we are currently expecting.\"\n\nIn a statement, Belfast City Council said: \"Structural engineers engaged by the managing agents for the residential properties at Victoria Square contacted our building control team earlier this week to notify us of planned works to resolve a structural issue within the site.\n\n\"Our team are now in contact with the structural engineers to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the issue and the timescales involved, and these conversations will continue over the coming days.\"", "Local authorities are paying for places for children in settings that are not even registered, Ofsted is warning.\n\nEngland's education watchdog has called for tougher rules on tackling illegal \"schools\" with risks of poor conditions and a lack of safeguarding.\n\nInspectors suggest 6,000 children are taught in such unregulated settings.\n\nBut the watchdog said councils were subsidising these unregistered alternatives to school, paying up to £27,000 a year for places.\n\nOfsted has published its most detailed breakdown of the problem of children being taught in uninspected and unregistered settings.\n\nSue Will, senior officer for unregistered schools, said some had \"quite appalling\" conditions, with unsafe accommodation and unqualified staff.\n\nShe said inspectors had come across places with rat traps, holes in the wall and exposed electrics.\n\nSince 2016, inspectors have investigated more than 530 unregistered settings - with the biggest number being so-called \"alternative provision\".\n\nThese can be for pupils who have been taken out of mainstream schools or who have been excluded.\n\nOfsted says almost 150 investigations have been in alternative provision settings which were without any registration.\n\nThese can be very poor quality, say inspectors - and instead of getting an education, teenagers \"languish, wasting their time\" playing on computer games.\n\nThese are private operations, but inspectors say some places are funded with public money.\n\nOfsted would not name the location, but its inspectors have issued a formal warning to an alternative provision centre receiving £27,000 a year per child from the local authority.\n\nLast autumn, in a landmark court case, two people in London became the first to be convicted of running an illegal school.\n\nBut inspectors said that many children were still being taught in this \"murky world\", with the biggest number in London and the West Midlands.\n\nVictor Shafiee, in charge of Ofsted's efforts to tackle unregistered schools, says it was often the \"least capable looking after the most vulnerable\".\n\n\"These are not well-run, well-organised places. It's hapless people who don't know what they're doing - and that puts children at risk,\" said Mr Shafiee.\n\nAbout one in five of the places under investigation had links to religious groups - and among these the most common were Muslim, with a smaller number of Jewish and Christian settings.\n\nInspectors warned that some parents were misusing the label of \"home schooling\", when they were really sending their children to these unregistered centres each day.\n\nFrom the 530 places under investigation, there have been 71 warnings issued - and Mr Shafiee said there were two more court cases expected.\n\nWhile councils might have paid for some places in alternative provision centres, most settings were collecting fees from parents, often of about £2,500 per year.\n\nInspectors said this was \"unfathomable\" considering families could get free places at local state schools.\n\nBut Ofsted officials warned of the difficulties of enforcing school registration, when there was ambiguity about the definition of what constituted a school.\n\nThe guidelines suggest that anywhere teaching five or more school-age children for more than 18 hours per week should be seen as schools and as such, required to be registered.\n\nOfsted's Victor Shafiee said it was often hard for inspectors to gain access to unregistered premises\n\nBut inspectors said some of these \"tuition centres\", or \"alternative provision\" classes or other settings, might say they teach for only 17 hours and 50 minutes and so seek to remain exempt from registration.\n\nProving whether these are really operating as full-time schools is very difficult, the Ofsted inspectors argued.\n\nWhen Ofsted tries to check, Mr Shafiee said there can be a \"rigmarole\" of trying to gain entry, giving schools time to conceal what they are doing.\n\nThey also had no right to seize documents or registers that would indicate that these premises were open longer than the 18-hour-a-week mark.\n\nSean Harford, Ofsted's national director of education, said inspectors were hampered by \"significant limitations on our powers to search, to take evidence and to close them down\".\n\n\"The problem here is first and foremost about safeguarding. Many of these places are unsafe - with poor facilities and hygiene, badly trained or untrained staff,\" said Mr Shafiee.\n\n\"These settings deny children a proper education and can leave them at risk of harm,\" he said.\n\nA Department for Education spokesman said Ofsted had been given £3m to tackle unregistered schools and to \"make sure illegal activity is uncovered and justice is delivered\".\n\nHe said Ofsted's report showed the importance of plans to introduce a register of children not being taught in school.\n\nUnregulated schools \"present a danger to both the quality of education and the welfare of those children who attend them\", said the DfE spokesman.", "Emergency services were called out to the incident in Burns Road, Hawick, on Thursday afternoon\n\nA six-week old baby boy is in a critical condition in hospital after being attacked by a dog in the Borders.\n\nEmergency services were called to an address in Burns Road, Hawick, at about 16:35 on Thursday.\n\nThe baby was taken to the Borders General Hospital before being airlifted by a trauma team to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.\n\nPolice said inquiries were ongoing and confirmed that the dog involved had been destroyed.\n\nPolice in the Scottish Borders said inquiries were ongoing\n\nOne neighbour, Teresa Currie, told the BBC the family was \"devastated\" by what had happened.\n\n\"I saw the mummy coming out of the house screaming, her hands were in the air,\" she said.\n\n\"She wouldn't go back in the house which is a hard thing to do because as a mum you want to be there and do whatever it is you can do to take the pain away.\n\n\"He is not in a good way is what I have been told.\"\n\nHawick councillor Davie Paterson said: \"It's an absolute tragedy and it's going to hit the town hard.\n\n\"I don't know the full circumstances of what happened but from what I'm hearing the child could be scarred for life.\n\n\"I was told about it with the council yesterday and I was absolutely horrified.\"", "Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon Heavy launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida carrying a satellite into orbit for Saudi Arabian company Arabsat.\n\nAs well as having its first commercial payload, it was also the first time the three lower boosters of the rocket returned to Earth successfully.\n\nThe rocket is part of a growing number of launch services at SpaceX, which includes the Crew Dragon that docked onto the International Space Station in March.", "Boris Johnson was wrong to claim there was polling evidence that a no-deal Brexit was the public's preferred option, the press regulator has ruled.\n\nIpso ordered the Daily Telegraph to print a correction after finding the MP's column was inaccurate.\n\nThe claim was made in a piece headlined \"The British people won't be scared into backing a woeful Brexit deal nobody voted for\" in January.\n\nThe Telegraph had argued it was \"clearly comically polemical\".\n\nThe column appeared a week before MPs rejected Theresa May's Brexit deal for the first time, by a historic margin. The Commons went on to reject the withdrawal agreement in a further two votes.\n\nIn his piece, prominent Brexiteer Mr Johnson, who quit as foreign secretary over Mrs May's Brexit strategy last July, wrote: \"Of all the options suggested by pollsters - staying in the EU, coming out on Theresa May's terms, or coming out on World Trade terms - it is the last, the so-called no-deal option, that is gaining in popularity.\n\n\"In spite of - or perhaps because of - everything they have been told, it is this future that is by some margin preferred by the British public.\"\n\nAccording to Ipso, the newspaper argued that it was clearly an opinion piece and readers would understand that it was not invoking specific polling - and that the Conservative MP's column was \"clearly comically polemical\" and would not be read as a \"serious, empirical, in-depth analysis of hard factual matters\".\n\nAnd it argued that various combinations of results in four polls reflected support for a no-deal scenario over Theresa May's deal or remaining in the EU.\n\nBut following a complaint that it was inaccurate, Ipso said the article, published on 7 January, failed to provide accurate information with \"a basis in fact\" and ordered a correction to be printed.\n\nIn its ruling, Ipso said that while columnists were free to use \"hyperbole, melodrama and humour\", they must take care \"over the accuracy of any claims of fact\".\n\nIt said the Telegraph had not provided data to back up the claims and had \"construed the polls as signalling support for a no deal, when in fact, this was the result of the publication either amalgamating several findings together or interpreting an option beyond what was set out by the poll, as being a finding in support of a no-deal Brexit\".\n\nIt found it was a \"significant inaccuracy, because it misrepresented polling information\" and upheld a complaint that it had breached clause 1 of the Editors' Code of Practice.", "The al-Hol camp in north eastern Syria is an overflowing vessel of anger and unanswered questions. Inside are the lost women and children of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), abandoned by their men, their nightmare caliphate and their governments.\n\nSome cling to their hate-fuelled ideology: \"We are undefeated!\" they scream in your face. Others beg for a way out - a way home.\n\nUmm Usma, a Moroccan-Belgian woman, clings to a fantasy that she helped the women and children of Syria in her six years here, most of it with IS.\n\nThe former nurse grabs her niqab with a black-gloved hand, \"This is my choice,\" she says. \"In Belgium I couldn't wear my niqab - this is my choice.\"\n\n\"Every religion did something wrong,\" she said. \"Show us the good.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. \"There are different degrees of radicalisation among the women\"\n\nAs she shouts with a group of other black-clad women, a badly burnt child is pushed in a buggy through the mud by his mother. \"Look at what they did,\" her mother shouts, referring to US-backed forces.\n\nAl-Hol is a nightmare, a camp that has grown from 11,000 people, to more than 70,000. It is swollen with the dark aftermath of the collapsed pseudo-caliphate. It is ready to burst.\n\nUmm Usma says she has no need to apologise for the 2016 IS attack in Brussels in which 32 people - not including the bombers - were killed. In her mind, an attack against her country by the group she joined doesn't need to be answered. She has cloaked herself in victimhood. She believes the West and its air strikes against the last IS hold-out of Baghouz are to blame for their misery. The hate and violence perpetrated by IS are forgotten.\n\nThis is the jihadist mind-trick, a selective memory that erases any wrongdoing.\n\n\"I won't talk about what my husband did, I don't know what he did,\" Umm Usma claims. She has lived under democracy and under IS. She tells me she knows which one is better. \"Your mind is closed,\" she says as she turns her back and walks away.\n\nIt is only two weeks since Baghouz, the last of IS-governed territory, fell to Kurdish-led forces. The Kurds had taken their time, allowing ceasefire after ceasefire so that women, children and the injured could leave. The coalition warplanes that killed civilians in Mosul and Raqqa, IS's two lost capitals, were more cautious over Baghouz.\n\nIS used its families as a last line of defence.\n\n\"In one day, at least 2,000 people were killed,\" one Iraqi boy, who survived the combat, tells me. \"IS parked vehicles among the tents of families. We knew that vehicles were targeted, so we told them to take the vehicles away. But they didn't, and the vehicles exploded.\"\n\nWhen the fighting was over, Baghouz was cleared of corpses before the media arrived.\n\nThe men of IS were not just soldiers on a battlefield. They brought with them women, children and extended families.\n\nNour is a victim of their catastrophe. She lies on an examination bed in the camp's Red Crescent clinic. The six-year-old has been shot in the face. That was 15 days ago, and since then she's only been given the barest of medical attention. Her cheeks are swollen and her teeth shattered. The pain appears to be something she's become accustomed to, because she only screams when she's moved.\n\nIt was a sniper's round that came through the tent in Baghouz. She was hiding out there with her family, part of an army of hardcore believers who stayed with IS to the end.\n\nIn al-Hol, many of the war wounded are children. Nour's mother, from Turkmenistan, is too sick to stand. She curls on her side, beside Nour, teetering on the edge of the bed. Her IS fighter husband is already dead.\n\nNour's condition needs urgent attention and she is sent to a hospital in the city of Hassakeh. Now the clinic bed is emptied and a new occupant is placed on its black leather surface.\n\nBut Asma is barely there at all: she's a faint speck of a human being, almost transparent. Too weak to cry much, she looks only days old. She is, in fact, six months old. Her sister, a girl herself, stands above her, eyes cast down. As IS fought to the last, their families starved.\n\nSome 169 children have died since escaping Baghouz - children who did no wrong. Those that remain are at risk from sickness and disease. And there is a greater danger that Western governments appear to have ignored. They are still in the care of extremist parents, and their malice isn't being countered or re-educated - it is being left to fester.\n\nThose that survived IS were brought in open cattle trucks, across the desert in their tens of thousands to al-Hol. The village by the camp is where IS once sold Yazidi women as slaves. Not far from here, hundreds of Kurdish-led forces were killed in a single IS attack. The two-storey school in the village still has the IS flag painted across it. The spring rains and summer sun are fading it to nothing.\n\nThe campsite is at the village edge: a mini-state, a displaced caliphate, a growing danger that is now larger than the village itself.\n\nWhat remains inside, no-one wants. A few governments have taken people back: Russia, Saudi Arabia and Morocco. The United States has taken back a single woman. The UK has no plan to repatriate fighters or their families. Al-Hol is the camp where Shamima Begum, the teenager from London, was first held and where she learned she had been stripped of her British citizenship. France has taken back a handful of orphans whose parents died fighting for IS.\n\nThere are degrees of radicalisation, and the immediate aftermath of a war is no place to judge who can be reformed, who can be saved.\n\nThe foreign women in the camp are kept separately, under armed guard. Here the ideology is at its most toxic. This is where the true believers are contained. A guard outside points to his bruised head. \"They threw rocks at us yesterday,\" he says.\n\nBy the entrance, a bag of raw chicken pieces lies tied up in the dirt. Women are pressed up against the chain-link fence, demanding to be let out. They are from everywhere: Brazil, Germany, France, Morocco, Somalia, the list goes on.\n\nThe western women are wary of speaking inside. They fear being attacked by the more radical women in the camp, if they are seen speaking to a man. If they remove their veils, they are set upon by some of the women. Tents have been burned to the ground in retribution.\n\n\"The Tunisian and Russian women are the worst,\" says 19-year-old Leonora Messing from Germany. She points to two large communal tents. \"They were last to come out from Baghouz.\"\n\nMessing joined IS at the age of 15, a month after another 15-year-old, Shamima Begum, and her friends fled Britain for Syria. Messing became the third wife of a German extremist who is now, too, in Kurdish custody.\n\nThe German woman is full of regret, born not only of circumstance, but regret, she says, that long predates the defeat of IS.\n\n\"I was a half-year in Isis and I asked my father if he can help me to send a smuggler to bring me out. They sent a smuggler but security from Isis, they killed him. And then they catch me also because they find pictures of me on his phone. And then I was locked up first time in prison [in Raqqa] and then a second time in [the village of] Shaafa,\" she explains.\n\nIn her arms, she cradles a two-month-old, wrinkle-faced baby, her second child, born in Baghouz as the fighting raged all around them.\n\n\"I gave birth alone. There was no doctors, no nurses\", she says, \"I sent my husband out. I sent him. I was crying. You know how woman have faith. I said you search. He said there is nobody. I said GO SEARCH.\"\n\nShe still loves her extremist husband and says she will wait for him if he is sent back to Germany to serve a prison sentence.\n\nShe talks about the death of Shamima Begum's son, who was born in the camp, and died just 20 days later. Both of her own children have been sick, but she says she has reason to believe they will be safe.\n\nOur second meeting is cut short. Leonora Messing has an appointment. A convoy of armoured-vehicles, protected by armed men arrives, with Westerners inside. \"The German government wants to check on my children,\" Messing said.\n\nBritain's foreign secretary has said it is too dangerous for UK diplomats to travel to Syria, a place where, like Germany, it has no consulates or embassies. There is still no plan to repatriate women and children, many of whose husbands have been killed or stripped of their UK citizenship.\n\nAs rain clouds swirl and thicken above, two gangly young women march across the muddy ground with purpose, heading straight for my Syrian colleague and me. The camp smells bad, there isn't proper sanitation and the rain isn't helping. One of the pair is carrying, incongruously, a patent leather handbag, with a little diamanté clasp. Through their veils I see what looks like the eyes of teenage girls.\n\n\"Where are our husbands? When will they be released?\" they demand, but without much menace. When my colleague shrugs his shoulders, one of the women says, \"ask him,\" pointing at me with a black-gloved hand. A giggle emerges from under the other black dresses.\n\nThey may have their answers in the coming days, as Iraq, too, prepares to take back its people. The high-value prisoners will go first and will almost certainly be executed, and their women and children will follow to Iraq. Camps are already being prepared, not very far from al-Hol, on the Iraqi side of the border.\n\nThat will alleviate pressure at the camp, but it will not solve the enduring question that al-Hol presents the West: how much mercy should be shown to an enemy that offered none? And, what is to become of their women and children now that IS is gone?", "Stand-up comedian Ian Cognito was performing at a comedy club in Bicester when he fell ill on-stage\n\nVeteran stand-up comedian Ian Cognito has died on stage during a performance.\n\nThe 60-year-old comic sat down on a stool while breathing heavily, before falling silent for five minutes during his show on Thursday.\n\nCompere Andrew Bird said the crowd at the The Atic bar in Bicester had thought it was a joke, and continued to laugh, unaware something was wrong.\n\nSouth Central Ambulance Service confirmed Cognito was pronounced dead at the scene.\n\nMr Bird, who runs the Lone Wolf Comedy Club event at the venue, said Cognito had not been feeling well before the gig started, but insisted on going on stage.\n\n\"He was like his old self, his voice was loud.

That is not how our system of justice is supposed to work.\"\n\nShepherd's boat was found to have several defects\n\nDuring his trial, jurors heard that Shepherd and Ms Brown went on a late-night high-speed jaunt in his boat past the Houses of Parliament on their first date on 8 December 2015.\n\nThe pair were both thrown from the boat when it hit branches in the water near Wandsworth Bridge.\n\nMs Brown, from Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, was found in the water unconscious and unresponsive, while Shepherd was discovered clinging to the upturned boat.\n\nHis trial was told that he was responsible for the speedboat, which had a series of serious defects, including to its steering.\n\nShepherd, originally from Exeter, last appeared at the Old Bailey in January last year when he denied manslaughter and was released on unconditional bail.\n\nBut he failed to show up for his trial and sentencing in July.\n\nShepherd has since been granted the right to appeal against his conviction.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "Emma Appleby with her daughter Teagan in the Netherlands\n\nMedicinal cannabis that was confiscated from the mother of a girl with severe epilepsy is to be returned.\n\nEmma Appleby was stopped at Southend Airport as she tried to bring a three-month supply of THC oil and cannabidiol (CBD) into the UK.\n\nThe drugs are now ready to be collected after nine-year-old Teagan was issued a prescription by specialist doctors.\n\nThe family travelled to the Netherlands after doctors in the UK refused to sign off Teagan's use of the drug.\n\nHealth Secretary Matt Hancock tweeted: \"Happy to say that Teagan Appleby's cannabis-based medicine... is ready to be collected.\n\n\"We are working hard across government to ensure we get these medicines to those who need them.\"\n\nMrs Appleby, from Aylesham, Kent, said it was \"really good news\" and she would collect the drugs in London tomorrow.\n\nShe hopes it will give her daughter a \"new lease of life\".\n\nTeagan has a rare chromosomal disorder called Isodicentric 15, as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, which causes her to experience up to 300 seizures a day.\n\nDoctors have been able to issue prescriptions for medicinal cannabis since 2018, but Teagan was not given one.\n\nMrs Appleby used money raised through crowdfunding to visit a pharmacy in The Hague, Netherlands.\n\nShe said that it was \"wrong that it's taken me to do this to get it\" and vowed to continue \"fighting\" for other parents whose children are awaiting prescriptions for medicinal cannabis.\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The Coca Cola can was found on Cramond beach\n\nA Coca Cola can from 1988 has been found on a beach near Edinburgh by volunteers clearing up rubbish.\n\nThe 31-year-old can, which features a promotion for the Seoul Olympics, was one of more than 400 items picked up at Cramond Beach.\n\nHalf the litter found was made from plastic, while 100 wet wipes were also discovered, tangled in seaweed.\n\nCampaigners said the can showed the potential benefits of a deposit return scheme for drinks bottles and cans.\n\nThey are also calling for clearer labelling on the wipes to stop them being flushed down the toilet.\n\nThe can features a promotion for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in South Korea\n\nThe clean-up was carried out by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) and resulted in 86kg (13.5 stone) of waste being cleared from the beach.\n\nMCS Scotland Conservation Officer Catherine Gemmell, who organised the event, said wet wipe numbers were regularly high at Cramond.\n\nMore than 30 volunteers took part in the clean-up at Cramond beach\n\nShe added: \"One of the most startling finds was a Coca Cola can from 1988 -

He does not clarify when he will depart but says it is \"probably not\" for the reasons reported in the UK press.

No charges have been filed against him in the US, but American media outlets report that federal prosecutors are considering charges.\n\nChelsea Manning is released from Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas.\n\nSweden's director of public prosecutions announces that the rape investigation into Mr Assange is being dropped.\n\nThe Ecuadorean government confirms Mr Assange was granted Ecuadorean citizenship in December and asks the UK to recognise him as a diplomatic agent - a move that would give him immunity.

To his critics, he is a publicity seeker who has endangered lives by putting a mass of sensitive information into the public domain.\n\nAssange is described by those who have worked with him as intense, driven and highly intelligent, with an exceptional ability to crack computer codes.\n\nHe set up Wikileaks, which publishes confidential documents and images, in 2006, making headlines around the world in April 2010 when it released footage showing US soldiers shooting dead 18 civilians from a helicopter in Iraq.\n\nBut later that year he was detained in the UK - and later bailed - after Sweden issued an international arrest warrant over allegations of sexual assault.\n\nSwedish authorities wanted to question him over claims that he had raped one woman and sexually molested and coerced another in August 2010, while on a visit to Stockholm to give a lecture.\n\nHe says both encounters were entirely consensual, and a long legal battle ensued which saw him seek asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid extradition.\n\nAfter spending almost seven years inside the embassy, Assange was arrested by British police on 11 April 2019. It came after Ecuadorean President Lenín Moreno tweeted that his country had taken \"a sovereign decision\" to withdraw his asylum status.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London\n\nThe Wikileaks founder had always argued that he could not leave the embassy because he feared being extradited from Sweden to the US and put on trial for releasing secret US documents.\n\nOfficers removed him from the embassy's premises and took him into custody at a central London police station.\n\nOn 1 May 2019, Assange was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for breaching his bail conditions.\n\nWeeks later, an investigation into the 2010 rape allegation against Assange was reopened by Swedish prosecutors.\n\nAssange gestures with a thumbs up after he was arrested by Met Police officers at Ecuador's embassy in London\n\nLater that month, the US filed 17 new charges against Assange for violating the Espionage Act, related to the publication of classified documents in 2010.\n\nWikileaks said the announcement was \"madness\" and \"the end of national security journalism\".\n\nAs Assange prepared to fight against extradition to the US, Swedish prosecutors announced that the investigation into the 2010 rape allegation had been dropped.\n\nProsecutors said the evidence against Assange was \"not strong enough to form the basis for filing an indictment\", ending a case that spanned a decade.\n\nIn April 2020 it emerged that Assange had fathered two children while living inside the Ecuadorean embassy.\n\nStella Morris, a South African-born lawyer, said she had been in a relationship with the Wikileaks founder since 2015 and was raising their two young sons on her own.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange’s fiancée says she dreaded going public with their relationship\n\nCurrently jailed in London's Belmarsh Prison, Assange's legal fight against extradition to the US continues.\n\nDuring one extradition hearing in September 2020, a psychiatrist said Assange complained of hearing imaginary voices and music.\n\nMichael Kopelman, who had interviewed Assange about 20 times, told the court he would be a \"very high\" suicide risk if he were extradited to the US.\n\nAssange has been generally reluctant to talk about his background, but media interest since the emergence of Wikileaks has thrown up some insight into his influences.\n\nHe was born in Townsville in the Australian state of Queensland in 1971, and led a rootless childhood while his parents ran a touring theatre. He became a father at 18 and custody battles soon followed.\n\nThe development of the internet gave him a chance to use his early promise at maths, though this too led to difficulties.\n\nAfter pleading guilty to \"hacking\", Assange escaped prison on the condition he did not reoffend\n\nIn 1995 Assange was accused, with a friend, of dozens of hacking activities. Though the group of hackers was skilled enough to track detectives tracking them, Assange was eventually caught and pleaded guilty.\n\nHe was fined several thousand Australian dollars - only escaping a prison term on the condition that he did not reoffend.\n\nHe then spent three years working with an academic, Suelette Dreyfus - who was researching the emerging, subversive side of the internet - writing a book with her, Underground, that became a bestseller in the computing fraternity.\n\nMs Dreyfus described Assange as a \"very skilled researcher\" who was \"quite interested in the concept of ethics, concepts of justice, what governments should and shouldn't do\".\n\nThis was followed by a course in physics and maths at Melbourne University, where he became a prominent member of a mathematics society, inventing an elaborate puzzle that contemporaries said he excelled at.\n\nHe began Wikileaks in 2006 with a group of like-minded people from across the web, creating a web-based \"dead-letterbox\" for would-be leakers.\n\n\"[To] keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions,\" Assange told the BBC in 2011.\n\n\"We've become good at it, and never lost a case, or a source, but we can't expect everyone to go through the extraordinary efforts that we do.\"\n\nHe could go for long stretches without eating and focus on work with very little sleep, according to Raffi Khatchadourian, a reporter for the New Yorker magazine who spent several weeks travelling with him.\n\n\"He creates this atmosphere around him where the people who are close to him want to care for him, to help keep him going. I would say that probably has something to do with his charisma.\"\n\nWikileaks and Assange came to prominence with the release of the footage of the US helicopter shooting civilians in Iraq.\n\nHe promoted and defended the video, as well as the massive release of classified US military documents on the Afghan and Iraq wars in July and October 2010.\n\nThe whistleblowing website went on to release new tranches of documents, including five million confidential emails from US-based intelligence company Stratfor.\n\nBut it also found itself fighting for survival in 2010, when a number of US financial institutions began to block donations.\n\nAssange told the BBC that in order to protect sources he would \"encrypt everything\"\n\nCoverage of Assange was then dominated by Sweden's efforts to question him over the 2010 sexual allegations. He said such efforts were politically motivated and part of a smear campaign.\n\nAssange turned to then Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa for help, the two men having expressed similar views on freedom in the past.\n\nHis stay at the Ecuadorean embassy was punctuated by occasional press statements and interviews. He made a submission to the UK's Leveson Inquiry into press standards, saying he had faced \"widespread inaccurate and negative media coverage\".\n\nConcerns over his health also surfaced but in August 2014, but Assange dismissed reports that he would be leaving the embassy to seek medical treatment.\n\nAssange later complained to the UN that he was being unlawfully detained as he could not leave the embassy without being arrested.\n\nIn February 2016, a UN panel ruled in his favour, stating that he had been \"arbitrarily detained\" and should be allowed to walk free and compensated for his \"deprivation of liberty\".\n\nAssange dismissed reports in 2014 that he would be leaving the embassy to seek medical treatment\n\nAssange hailed it a \"significant victory\" and called the decision \"binding\", leading his lawyers to call for the Swedish extradition request to be dropped immediately.\n\nThe ruling was not legally binding on the UK, however, and the UK Foreign Office responded by saying it \"changes nothing\".\n\nIn 2016, Sweden's chief prosecutor Ingrid Isgren travelled to the Ecuadorean embassy in London to question Assange over the 2010 rape allegation. Prosecutors had already dropped their investigation into the sexual assault allegations after running out of time to question him and bring charges.\n\nSince Sweden dropped its investigation into Assange, the European Arrest Warrant for him no longer stands.\n\nBut the Metropolitan Police said Assange still faced the lesser charge of failing to surrender to a court in June 2012, an offence punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine.\n\nAnd it was a warrant based on this charge which led to his arrest in 2019. Citing the warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates' Court on 29 June 2012, the Metropolitan Police said Assange had been \"taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as possible\".\n\nMet Police officers dragged Assange out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he had stayed since 2012\n\nThe police said they had been invited into the embassy by the Ecuadorean ambassador.\n\nEcuador's position vis-à-vis Assange changed after President Correa, a strong advocate of Wikileaks, was succeeded in office by Lenín Moreno.\n\nMr Moreno and his government had grown increasingly frustrated with Assange and his refusal to follow the rules they had imposed for his continued stay in the embassy.\n\nIn his video statement, President Moreno said he had \"inherited this situation\" and that Assange had ignored Ecuador's requests to \"respect and abide by these rules\".\n\nFrom the embassy's balcony in 2012, Assange urged the US to end its \"witchhunt\" against Wikileaks\n\nHis decision, Mr Moreno said, followed \"repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols\" by Assange.\n\nHe said that in particular, Assange had \"violated the norm of not intervening in the internal affairs of other states\", most recently in January 2019 when Wikileaks had released documents from the Vatican.\n\nIn a video statement, President Moreno also said that he had requested that Great Britain guarantee that Assange would not be extradited to a country where he could face torture or the death penalty.\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.

So what are the sticking points and can Labour and the Conservatives reach an agreement?\n\nPublic statements on the talks have tended to be bland, ranging from \"constructive\" and \"serious\" to the slightly more negative: \"We have some way to travel.\"\n\nBehind the scenes, the prospect of a deal, while difficult, is not impossible.\n\nThere is a big incentive for both sides to reach agreement: the avoidance of next month's European elections.\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May doesn't want to give a platform to parties such as Nigel Farage's new project which could appeal to Brexit-voting Conservatives.\n\nAnd, frankly, some of her own activists would be conflicted over how, or whether, to vote.\n\nFor Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, awkward questions about a second referendum could be ducked if there is no election campaign.\n\nSo the talks are serious and not just political window dressing, and the fact that Mr Corbyn and Mrs May met on Thursday is significant.\n\nMichael Gove is one of the Conservatives taking part in negotiations\n\nThe Labour leader's policy guru Andrew Fisher joined shadow chancellor John McDonnell for the cross-party talks on Friday.\n\nBut, as I understand it, significant hurdles remain. Some of the detail of possible changes to the Political Declaration - the blueprint for the UK's post-Brexit relationship with the EU - is being discussed.\n\nLabour wants to discuss legally binding changes to the document, future-proofing it, where possible, against a change of Conservative leader.\n\nBroadly speaking, the government would rather do \"the easy bit\" first - discussing legislation to protect workers' rights.\n\nResolving this tension is key to a deal.\n\nLabour is also keen to secure agreement on a customs union. It is flexible on what it would be called - an \"arrangement\", for example - and Mrs May hinted on Thursday that the two sides were close on this.\n\nBut they are not yet close enough.\n\nThe definition of what a customs union/arrangement does is vital to the Labour side.\n\nBut the main constraints to a deal may come from Mrs May and Mr Corbyn's parties, rather than their negotiators.\n\nMany Labour members want another referendum if agreement is reached\n\nIf there is too much compromise on a customs union, Mrs May risks losing more cabinet ministers.\n\nFor Mr Corbyn, the pressure from many Labour members is for him to exact a referendum, in return for passing the deal.\n\nSo far, the prime minister isn't budging on this.\n\nOne way round this obstacle would be to hold a separate vote in Parliament on a referendum, possibly as an amendment to the forthcoming Withdrawal Agreement Bill.\n\nBoth Mrs May and Mr Corbyn - who is not an enthusiast for a public vote - believe this would fall.\n\nBut some of the Labour leader's shadow ministers - including some who are firmly on the Left - are pushing for a referendum, or confirmatory ballot, to be tied explicitly to any Brexit deal.\n\nSo, getting a deal passed would be totally dependent on approving a public vote at the same time.\n\nI am told shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is pressing for a ballot to be part of any final package.\n\nIf, in the end, these difficulties can't be overcome then the hope is that both sides will at least agree a parliamentary process for discussing and voting on options which might finally break the deadlock.", "The crash occurred at Appin near Loch Linnhe in Argyll and Bute\n\nA man has died and a number of people have been hurt following a two-car crash in Argyll and Bute.\n\nPolice and emergency services were called to the A828 at Appin, near Loch Linnhe, at about 16:40 following the collision.\n\nThe Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed five casualties in total.\n\nA stretch of the road between Creagan and Appin remains closed in both directions while investigations take place.

Local reports suggested that it was barely a dozen.\n\nThe airline flies on 600 domestic and 380 international routes - but carriers in India must maintain a fleet of least 20 aircraft to continue to operate international services.\n\nFrom London, the airline initially confirmed it had cancelled its flights between London, Paris and Amsterdam and India for 12 April, but later said that all international flights would be cancelled between 12 and 15 April.\n\nIt said it \"regrets the inconvenience caused\" to its passengers and was \"working to minimise guest inconvenience\".\n\n\"In parallel, the airline's management and its key stakeholders including its consortium of lenders, continue to work closely towards resolving the current situation,\" it said.\n\nThere was no statement about the status of domestic flights.\n\nSandeep Kooner and her three children had been expecting to be on a flight from London to India on Friday evening to attend her niece's wedding in Punjab.\n\nBut the 40 year-old who lives in Walsall will now miss the first few days of the week-long celebrations after her Jet Airways flight was cancelled.\n\n\"I had just sat down in the nail salon when I got a text message to say my flight had been cancelled,\" she told the BBC.\n\nShe has now arranged to fly with Air India, but that will be days later and to Delhi - an eight hour drive to her destination - rather than a local one.\n\n\"I'm not 100% sure my problem is 100% sorted,\" she says.\n\nTelevision channels in India reported that the prime minister's office had called for an urgent meeting to discuss the airline.\n\nThey also reported remarks by government officials saying Jet Airways only had funds to operate six to seven aircraft over the weekend.\n\nIndia's Aviation Minister, Suresh Prabhu, had tweeted that his ministry would \"review issues related to Jet Airways\" and \"take necessary steps to minimise passenger inconvenience and ensure their safety\".\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

With India holding a national election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government did not want the airline to be grounded as that would have affected 23,000 jobs.\n\nThe lenders which took control of the airline have only released a fraction of the amount they had promised so the airline has not been able to pay aircraft leasing companies. This means its fleet has shrunk further from the 100-plus it had at the start of the year.\n\nThe lenders have started accepting bids from potential investors, but that process will take a couple of months to complete. And many analysts fear that Jet Airways will not survive even a week if immediate cash is not provided to keep the operations running.\n\nThe airline was founded by Naresh Goyal more than 25 years ago and he and his family currently own 52% of the airline, although that majority stake is expected to be lost as lenders' restructure the debt.\n\nA consortium of investors led by the State Bank of India (SBI) took control of the airline in March.\n\nThe group is searching for a new investor to acquire a stake of up to 75% in Jet Airways. The deadline for bids had been extended to Friday, according to reports.\n\nEllis Taylor, deputy Asia editor of Flight Global, told the BBC the airline was in a \"precarious position\".\n\n\"The interim lifeline that the carrier talked about two weeks ago looks like it won't materialise any time soon, and that really leaves its future looking bleak,\" he said.\n\nThere were reports in local media that India's aviation ministry might review the regulations setting the fleet cap, which could allow the airline to resume international services.", "When a man took an upskirt photograph of Gina Martin at a music festival she went straight to the police. And when they closed her case, she began a petition to get it reopened, as she explains here.\n\nOn 8 July 2017, I was standing in the crowd at the British Summer Time music festival in London's Hyde Park having a laugh with my big sister and waiting for The Killers to take the stage. Two men were standing next to us, and after offering us some chips (and me accepting a couple) they became incredibly creepy.\n\nOne of the men - with dark hair - was worse than his taller blond friend. He constantly asked me questions, I caught him looking me up and down and he was laughing and joking with his friend about me. Then he rubbed up against me. I think that's when it happened.\n\nAt some point he put his phone between my legs, positioned his camera up my skirt and took pictures of my crotch in broad daylight.\n\nGina and her sister at British Summer Time, about an hour before it happened\n\nAt the time I had no idea what he had done. My sister and I were excitedly waiting to see a band we've loved since we were teenagers. But while we were watching the stage I saw something out of the corner of my eye. The tall, blond guy was looking at something on his phone and laughing. It was my crotch covered by a thin strip of underwear. Even though it was a small picture, I knew it was me straight away.\n\nI snatched the phone out of his hand and started shouting that he'd taken a photo up my skirt. He screamed back at me - towering over me and pointing in my face - that it was a picture of the stage. Next, he grabbed hold of my shoulders and pushed me, demanding I give him his phone back. I couldn't loosen his grip so I made eye contact with as many people around me as I could, shouting: \"Help me. Help me!\"\n\nI slipped the phone into the hand of a girl next to me who I had been chatting to minutes earlier. He stood over her aggressively. \"Give me the phone,\" he spat. She refused.\n\nI caught the eye of a young guy who was standing near me: \"Run!\" he said. So I did.\n\nI grabbed the phone back and bolted through the crowd, crying, and appealing to people to let me through. I ran as fast as I could, but could hear him right behind me. \"Give me my phone!\" he screamed.\n\nI made a bee-line for the security staff and as soon as they saw the state I was in - and the man running after me - they formed a protective circle around me. He ran into them, flailing, trying to reach me and screaming that he hadn't taken the picture.\n\nI tried to calm him down but it wasn't working. The security guard told me to slip the phone into his back pocket. I did.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Gina Martin and Professor of Law Clare McGlynn discuss upskirt photography on Woman's Hour\n\nWe waited for a minute or two for the police to come, and I asked if we could stand nearer the crowd and sing. I wanted to pretend this wasn't happening. Security allowed us to move about three metres away from them. We stood near the security gate, hugged each other and forced ourselves to dance to The Killers' first song. In reality I was just blubbing through every word and my sister was trying not to cry.\n\nWhen the police officers arrived - a man and a woman - I did my best to explain what had happened, even though I was a complete mess. They were kind and compassionate. One of them told me I \"should be able to go to a festival in 30-degree heat and wear a skirt without worrying about this happening\".\n\nThey separated me and the blond guy and questioned him for a minute or two. When they came back over to me the male police officer was apologetic - he told me, \"Unfortunately, I've had to look at the picture. It shows more than you'd like… but it's not graphic. So there's not much we can do because you can't see anything bad. I'm going to be honest - you might not hear much from us.\"\n\nHe asked me if I wanted to give a statement and I didn't feel I could at the time. I was standing in the middle of a field, crying, and I could hardly think. I just wanted to enjoy what was left of my (very expensive) night out and worry about it later.\n\nThe police finished by reassuring me that they had \"made him delete the picture\". At this point, because of the mess I was in, it didn't occur to me that this was my evidence.\n\nThe photograph wasn't considered graphic because I had knickers on - if I had chosen not to wear any underwear it might have been dealt with entirely differently - but I don't see how what I was wearing should affect their response.\n\nFive days later I was sitting on a bus to the Latitude festival with a bag of clothes I'd spent far too long considering. Should I pack skirts, or was that stupid after what just happened?\n\nI received a call from the police, who told me that the case had been closed but they once again assured me that they had deleted the picture. With a clear head and time to think about it, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This wasn't good enough.\n\nA few days later I posted a status update on Facebook with a picture of the guys, after realising they were in the background of a picture of me and my sister at the gig. I wanted to embarrass them. I wanted someone to tell me who they were.\n\nMy post went viral within days, on both Twitter and Facebook. Other women shared similar experiences with me and that's when I realised this was a bigger problem.\n\nI began receiving messages, some of support and some of hate.\n\nSome people told me to wear a longer skirt, to stop trying to get attention and to stop lying. Others told me I was doing it for publicity and that it was my own fault I'd been targeted.\n\nI started a petition with Care2 to get my case reopened (it now stands at more than 50,000 signatures).\n\nI struggled to get anything done at work that week. For seven days I was being trolled and receiving awful messages.\n\nAt one point I became a meme - teenagers tagged themselves in my post with phrases like \"Viva la upskirters!\" and crying-laughing emojis. Their friends replied with \"Lol. Slag.\" I struggled to sleep, from the attention and stress, and I lost my appetite. I don't think you really know how victim-blaming affects you until you've been there. It's awful.\n\nI started to research how I could prosecute, and through conversations with lawyers, friends and organisations such as \"Safe gigs for Women\" and \"Girls Against\", I found out that upskirt photos aren't specifically listed as a sexual offence in England and Wales. Perpetrators don't often get charged with voyeurism, either - voyeurism laws only protect victims if they're in a private place like a changing room or at home. But I was at a festival - a public place.\n\nI found out that the one law I could charge under was an old common law called \"outraging public decency\" - a law that states something lewd or indecent happened in public and at least two people saw it. Ironically, it is usually applied to flashers. So, to put it plainly, the only law that protects a victim of upskirting in England and Wales is one that worries about what the public saw, not the victim who's been harassed.\n\nIt's an old law too - victims don't push for it because they don't know about it. If they had known about that law would the police have dealt with my case differently?\n\nSomething has to change here, and that's why I'm campaigning to make upskirt photography a sexual offence. Scotland just did it. So we could too.\n\nMy case has since been reopened and I hope that the men are prosecuted. But this isn't just about my case. My next step is to have the laws amended so that upskirt photos are listed as a sexual offence and a \"victim crime\", not a public nuisance.\n\nThe Met takes allegations of voyeurism seriously and does and will investigate them thoroughly.

He was a great advert for Liverpool football club.

She bought the company back a short time later.\n\nThe chain reported an operating loss of nearly £6m in the year to the end of July 2017, the most recent results available for the firm.\n\nThe accounts show that on her return, Ms Bennett invested about £11.2m into the business.\n\nLK Bennett called in the administrators last month, and five stores - Sheffield Meadowhall, Bristol, Liverpool, London Brent Cross and London Westbourne Grove - were closed.\n\nShortly before the business fell into administration, Ms Bennett emailed staff saying she had \"fought as hard as I can, with all your help, to turn the business into the success that I know it deserves to be\".\n\n\"These are difficult and unstable times, and we are doing everything we can to identify the best way forward,\" she had said.", "Online grocery shopping in the UK is set to grow more slowly, with customers worried about order problems and delivery charges, research indicates.\n\nLast year, 45% of consumers said they shopped for groceries online, down from 49% in 2016, said analysts Mintel.\n\nMintel also found 42% of older people said they had never bought groceries online and had no interest in doing so.\n\nThe survey of 2,000 internet users found that 63% said they had had an issue with an order in the past year.\n\nMintel's associate director of retail research, Nick Carroll, said: \"Online grocery is, alongside the food discounters, one of the fastest-growing segments within the wider grocery sector.\n\n\"However, growth is slowing and the number of users is plateauing as retailers struggle to encourage new customers to try their services.\"\n\nLast year, online grocery deliveries made up 7% of the whole sector, with a value of £12.3bn. Mintel said this was forecast to hit 10% by 2023, with sales rising to £19.8bn.\n\nThe survey found evidence of a disparity between enthusiastic younger people and sceptical older shoppers who were suspicious of online grocery shopping.\n\nOnly 35% of those aged 45 and over had used such services.\n\nOf those who refused to shop online, 73% said they preferred to choose fresh products themselves.\n\nNearly a quarter - 24% - of reluctant online shoppers thought delivery charges were too high, while 18% did not like being subject to minimum spending levels.\n\nAmong those who had used online grocery services, complaints included missing products, late deliveries, incorrect substitutions and receiving goods that were damaged or close to their expiry dates.\n\nOnline grocery shopping is an increasingly important factor in the strategies of big food retailers, notably with Marks & Spencer spending £750m to acquire a 50% share of online firm Ocado's retail business.\n\nHowever, Mintel's Mr Carroll also pointed out that not all shopping trends were working in favour of the internet.\n\nHe said: \"Most importantly, online services are still best suited to the traditional big-basket weekly shop, at a time when consumers are increasingly shopping on a top-up or when-needed basis.\"", "The arrest and expected extradition of Julian Assange has set into motion what could prove to be the most important free speech and free press case in our history. Or not.\n\nAssange has been charged with a single count of participating in the hacking of intelligence computers with Chelsea Manning to reveal controversial intelligence operations in the United States.\n\nFor many, Assange is a journalist, a whistleblower, a hero. Yet for others in Washington, he is the man who embarrassed the establishment in Congress, the intelligence community and even the media.\n\nThose powerful foes are likely to bring considerable pressure to deny Assange a platform for highlighting the operations that led to massive civilian losses and undisclosed military strikes, the very type of information disclosed in the celebrating \"Pentagon Papers\" case involving the New York Times in the Vietnam War.\n\nFor historians in both Great Britain and the United States, there should be something eerily familiar in this controversy.\n\nAlmost 300 years ago, the foundations for American protections of the free press were laid in the trial of John Peter Zenger.\n\nThe case has striking similarities to the pending prosecution of the Wikileaks founder.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London\n\nIn the case, the recently installed British governor William Cosby was the subject of an anonymous pamphlet that detailed his many abusive and corrupt practices in New York and New Jersey, from stealing Indian lands to pilfering the Treasury to rigging elections.\n\nCosby ordered four editions of the Zenger's New York Weekly Journal publicly burned and arrested Zenger. He then installed a biased judge who held Zenger's defence lawyer in contempt.\n\nDespite using every means to punish Zenger for what Cosby called \"scandalous, virulent, false and seditious reflections\", the colonial jurors balked and acquitted him.\n\nThe trial of Peter Zenger in New York in 1734 in which the printer was accused of libel\n\nIt was the defining moment for the colonies and ultimately led to far stronger protections of journalists in the United States than in Britain, as embodied in the first amendment to the US constitution declaring that \"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom... of the press.\"\n\nMuch has changed in the United States for the press, but perhaps not as much as we claim.\n\nThe Justice Department crafted the charge to evade the constitutional concerns over the prosecution - and the unresolved status of Assange.\n\nBy alleging that Assange was given a password and helped set up a cloud for Manning to share the data, the government is charging him not with the distribution of the material but actively participating in its theft.\n\nHowever, the unsealed indictment in Alexandria, Virginia, is remarkably thin on evidence that Assange played such an active role or used the password in question.\n\nSetting up a cloud for sharing information can easily be viewed as simply facilitating the anonymous disclosure from a source. Where reporters once arranged for drop spots, there are now digital equivalents for such exchanges.\n\nAssange gave a thumbs-up as he was taken to a London courthouse\n\nRather than exploring reasons and effort to reveal controversial intelligence operations, Assange could be forced to confine his defence to the more mundane charge of \"computer intrusion\".\n\nYet, the indictment is conspicuously thin on the evidence of that role. The government alleges that Manning gave \"a portion\" of a password \"to crack\" which \"was stored as a 'hash value' in a computer file that was accessible only by users with administrative-level privileges\".\n\nHowever, the government then says not that Assange arranged to crack the code but only that \"cracking the password would have allowed Manning to log onto the computers under a username that did not belong to her\".\n\nSuch a measure would have made it more difficult for investigators to identify Manning as the source of disclosures of classified information.\n\nA van supporting Manning and Assange seen in London last week.\n\nAssange is likely to face more charges once he is in the United States.\n\nA superseding indictment might encompass the role Wikileaks played in publishing emails stolen from the Democratic Party during the 2016 election campaign.\n\nSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officers for their part in the hack and alluded to Wikileaks in those indictments, although not by name.\n\nHowever, thus far, no Americans have been indicted for any alleged conspiracy with the Russians and, putting aside the narrative, Assange is so far being prosecuted for the same type of conduct as people messing with Netflix passwords.\n\nBut for now, the US only wants to show under extradition laws that there is a reasonable basis for believing that Assange committed a crime in the United States. The government also wants to avoid any criminal charge that could result in the death penalty.\n\nNevertheless, the Justice Department is likely to do what the British government failed to do with Zenger.\n\nIt will focus its charges on insular acts like sharing passwords or hacking. By doing so, the government can file a motion (what's called a motion in limine) to prevent Assange from raising his motivations or the disclosure of the secret operations.\n\nIt could be declared immaterial. The jury will not hear the type of evidence that Zenger's lawyers forced into his trial. Assange would look simply like some slightly creepy-looking Australian hacker.\n\nUS Attorney Tracey McCormick in Virginia could succeed if she keeps any counts focused on such technical and narrow acts.\n\nIt would be like reducing the whole of Macbeth to the final scene where Macduff beheads the King, and therefore revealing nothing about his motivation or history.\n\nReduced to Act V, Macduff simply looks like a blood-soaked regicidal maniac, rather than an avenging hero saving the country from a tyrannical leader.\n\nTo paraphrase Shakespeare, Wikileaks could not be vanquished until the Great Assange came to Capitol Hill.\n\nHe is now likely on his way and the trial could make the Zenger trial look like a model of transparency and accuracy.\n\nJonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University in Washington, DC.", "Michael Gove and John McDonnell have been involved in the talks\n\nThe government and Labour have held further talks aimed at breaking the deadlock in Parliament over Brexit.\n\nShadow Chancellor John McDonnell said discussions with cabinet ministers David Lidington and Michael Gove had been \"positive\" and \"constructive\".\n\nHe added that a timetable was being worked out for more meetings over the next seven to 10 days.\n\nEU leaders have agreed to delay the UK's departure date from 12 April to 31 October, to avoid a no-deal Brexit.\n\nBut Prime Minister Theresa May has said the UK can still leave before 22 May, if Parliament backs the withdrawal agreement she reached with the EU.\n\nThis would avoid the UK having to take part in European Parliament elections, currently scheduled for 23 May.\n\nThe UK was originally due to leave the EU on 29 March, but its departure date has been delayed twice, after the Commons rejected the withdrawal deal negotiated with the EU by large margins.\n\nThe meeting between Mr McDonnell, members of Jeremy Corbyn's staff and Mr Gove and Mr Lidington lasted just over an hour.\n\nAsked if the government had moved on its \"red lines\", Mr McDonnell told reporters: \"I'm not going into the detail of it.\n\n\"We are trying to be as constructive as we possibly can on all sides... but we will see by the end of next week how far we have got.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nBBC political correspondent Iain Watson has been told that the Conservative and Labour delegations have discussed some of the fine detail of the potential changes to the \"political declaration\" - the non-legally binding part of the Brexit deal, which sets out a blueprint for future relations between the EU and UK.\n\nBut he said the two sides were still some way apart on customs arrangements.\n\nLabour wants a new permanent customs union with the EU, which would allow tariff-free trade in goods.\n\nThe government has repeatedly ruled out remaining in the EU's customs union, arguing it would prevent the UK from setting its own trade policy.\n\nUnder EU rules, the UK will have to hold European Parliament elections in May, or face leaving on 1 June without a deal.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC on Friday, Chancellor Philip Hammond said: \"Clearly nobody wants to fight the European elections.\n\n\"It feels like a pointless exercise and the only way we can avoid that is by getting a deal agreed and done quickly, and if we can do that by 22 May, we can avoid fighting the European parliamentary elections.\n\n\"In any case we want to ensure any British MEPs that are elected never have to take their seats in the European Parliament by ensuring this is all done well before the new European Parliament convenes.\"\n\nMeanwhile, the government says it will \"continue to make all necessary preparations\" for a no-deal Brexit.\n\nA government source said \"plans will evolve and adapt\", but would not stop while the chance of leaving the EU without an agreement remained.\n\nThe source said that a leaked message which reportedly referred to the \"winding down\" of no-deal preparation related only to Operation Yellowhammer - the contingency planning programme based on worst-case scenarios - and not no-deal planning in general.\n\nBut the government has confirmed it is stopping Operation Brock - the contraflow put on the London-bound carriageway of the M20 in Kent - \"in light of the reduced threat of disruption to services across the English Channel in the coming weeks\".", "Police in Oregon were called after moving shadows were seen behind a locked bathroom door.", "Nipsey Hussle's girlfriend Lauren London has paid tribute to the rapper at his memorial service.\n\nThe 33-year-old was fatally shot outside his Los Angeles clothing store on 31 March.", "Disney+ will be accessible through smart TVs as well as smartphones and tablets\n\nCan an almost century-old company learn from its glorious past and create itself a brave new future? Coming to a small screen near you… eventually.\n\nDisney has finally announced its long-anticipated streaming service, but it won’t be available until November in North America - and in some markets, it will take much longer.\n\nThat’s due to several factors, but mostly because Disney is still in the process of clawing back the rights to its content, sold to other streaming platforms before it had platform aspirations of its own.\n\nIt will take as long as four years before all of the deals have expired, the firm said. The delay could hobble Disney’s chances to succeed in the streaming market, described by chief executive Bob Iger as his “biggest priority”.\n\nWhen it does eventually launch, however, Disney+ will be a streaming juggernaut. The service will bundle together some of the firm’s major franchises, including the work of Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic and Star Wars, for a monthly subscription price of $6.99, or $69.99 a year.\n\nAnd because the firm has had its chequebook out lately - spending $70bn on 20th Century Fox - Disney+ will also incorporate content from recently acquired companies, such as the first 30 seasons of The Simpsons.\n\nMore widely, Disney also owns sports network ESPN, which now has more than 2 million paid digital subscribers, and India’s Hotstar - which enjoys 300m subscribers in a market predicted to continue to grow extremely quickly. Disney is also a majority owner in Hulu, the US streaming service that has plans to expand globally soon, the firm said.\n\nThese are all big moves that place Disney right at the heart of a crowded but increasingly lucrative streaming market - one where being distinct is vital. Netflix expects to spend $15bn on new content this year to achieve this aim. Apple, last month, launched its Apple TV+ service, with help of Oprah and friends who will be creating exclusive content.\n\nDisney’s strategy to reassure its investors, it seems, is to state that obvious: its been doing this for a very long time indeed.\n\nThe launch of Disney+ took place in a fitting location that has seen plenty of transformation over the past few decades: Sound Stage 2, on the firm’s iconic, sprawling Los Angeles campus. Built in 1949, the studio was the space where the original Mary Poppins was filmed, as well as, decades later, Pirates of the Caribbean. Both heralded new technologies in filmmaking.\n\nDisney+ will be the exclusive home of Star Wars films and other spin-off content\n\nBut, Disney’s illustrious past could end up being a hindrance. It sold 900m movie tickets last year, bringing in more than $7bn in box office revenue. It can’t afford to lose the core of its business, and so it will keep its big name content off Disney+ until well after its traditional run-out in the cinema and home entertainment sales (as in, buying it on Blu-Ray, or downloading it).\n\nDisney+ subscribers will instead get additional content, mini-series based on characters in the new films, or behind the scenes footage.\n\nThere will be straight-to-Disney+ films available when the service goes live, such as Christmas film Noelle, starring Anna Kendrick, and a remake of Lady and the Tramp. These films will be made with “all the care” of typical Disney movies, the company promised, but as with straight-to-video in years gone by, consumers will surely not see them as being in the same league.\n\nHigher hopes will be pinned on exclusive series made for Disney+, such as The Mandalorian, a the first live-action Star Wars TV series - which will be on the service from launch.\n\nThis is an expensive endeavour for Disney. It doesn’t expect Disney+ to turn a profit until 2023 at the earliest, and in the meantime it is losing out on revenue it was getting by selling on its content to other streaming providers - it was getting $150m from Netflix alone, according to reports.\n\nThe company already has a streaming service in the UK called Disney Life. It has not announced whether this service will close when Disney+ arrives.\n\nAt $6.99 a month, Disney is laying down a huge challenge to Apple, which hasn't yet told customers how much its service will cost when it too launches later this year.\n\nAbove all, though, the unanswered question remains: just how many subscription services can the public take? A generation of delighted “cord cutters”, who cancelled traditional TV subscriptions in favour of streaming, might soon start to wonder how much it might cost just to, you know, plug the cord back in.", "Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, returns in The Rise of Skywalker\n\nThe next Star Wars movie, episode IX, will be titled The Rise of Skywalker, it has been announced.\n\nThe title was revealed at a Star Wars celebration event in Chicago, while a teaser trailer was posted on Twitter with the words: \"Every generation has a legend.\"\n\nDirector JJ Abrams said the movie is set some time after previous instalment The Last Jedi.\n\nThe Rise of Skywalker is due to be released later this year.\n\nDespite his apparent death at the end of Episode VI, Return of the Jedi, Emperor Palpatine seems to be making a comeback.\n\nHis sinister cackle is heard at the end of the trailer and Ian McDiarmid, who plays the character, strolled on stage to loud applause at the announcement.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

The Edinburgh couple who are part of a kidney transplant chain\n\nWhen Mandy Murray found out she needed a new kidney her husband Graham volunteered to be a donor but was told he was not a match. Instead the couple became part of a kidney swap chain, which is allowing more people to find live donors.\n\nBecause her husband was not compatible, Mandy had to wait until a suitable donation became available from a deceased donor.\n\nShe considers herself lucky to have got a phone call in the middle of the night and been rushed to hospital to receive the donor kidney.\n\nMany people are not so fortunate. Last year, 26 people in Scotland died while waiting for a kidney transplant.\n\nWhen a person needs a new kidney they first turn to family and friends to find a living donor.\n\nDoctors says patients who have a living kidney transplant tend to live longer and feel better than those who receive kidneys from a deceased donor.\n\nMandy's new kidney allowed her to function for 18 years but it has recently started to decline and she was told she would need another transplant.\n\nHer husband Graham was tested again but was still not a match.\n\nMandy's husband Graham was not a potential donor match for his wife\n\nHowever, Mandy's consultant told her about the UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme, which has been running for more than a decade.\n\n\"It is where couples like us can be paired up and help each other out,\" says Mandy.\n\n\"I tried desperately to talk him out of it but he was having none of it.\"\n\nThe kidney sharing scheme uses an algorithm designed at Glasgow University.\n\nIt goes through everyone who has volunteered and tries to find better matches and maximise the number of possible transplants.\n\nThe computer programme is run four times a year and the transplants are then scheduled by a dedicated coordinator.\n\nSarah Lundie is one of the donor scheme coordinators\n\nIt is a logistical challenge, according to Sarah Lundie, the coordinator at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary.\n\nIn order for even the simplest kidney swap to go ahead you need two healthy donors and two recipients who are also not suffering from any illnesses.\n\nIf any one of them gets so much as a cold, the whole carefully arranged schedule must be cancelled.\n\nMs Lundie must also make sure that there are operating theatres booked at both locations and four surgeons must be available to carry out the procedures, not to mention their extensive back-up teams.\n\nThere is also a great deal of liaison going on to ensure that the organs are transported from the donors to the recipients at the same time.\n\nGraham and Mandy said it was a relief to get to the day of the operation\n\nAs he sat in Edinburgh waiting to donate his kidney, Graham Murray, 53, was aware that there was someone in Belfast, who must remain anonymous, waiting to give up a kidney so that it could be donated to Mandy.\n\nGraham says: \"Getting to this morning with everyone fit and healthy and ready to go is a great relief.\"\n\nHis wife Mandy, 57, says they have felt the \"responsibility\" of keeping well in the weeks before the operations so that the donor sharing chain would not be broken.\n\nShe says: \"Graham and I decided to sequester ourselves in our house, get our shopping delivered and really try not to catch anything so we could make sure that bond could be maintained.\"\n\nGraham and his counterpart in Belfast are the first part of the surgical equation.\n\nBoth donor kidneys are removed simultaneously in the two locations.\n\nIn Edinburgh, consultant transplant surgeon John Terrace scrubs up for an operation he says usually takes about three hours.\n\n\"I'm thinking about the donor rather than the recipient,\" he says.\n\n\"The focus with donors is operating safely and meticulously. The risk to donors is actually very small.\"\n\nMr Terrace says he uses a modified form of keyhole surgery to remove the kidney.\n\nHe uses laparoscopy to see but also has his hand inside the patient.\n\n\"That offers an extra element of control and safety,\" Mr Terrace says.\n\n\"The first 80% is moving things out of the way, moving the liver and the bowel and identifying the kidney and the structures that go into it and come out - the vein, the artery and ureter.\"\n\nHe says these are then prepared so the kidney can be removed quickly but still be suitable for \"reimplantation\" into the recipient.\n\nOnce the kidney is removed it is quickly on its way.\n\nIn this case, the organs leave Edinburgh and Belfast on chartered flights, arriving in time for the donation surgery to happen in the afternoon.\n\nShe uses blood vessels going to the leg to help attach the new kidney.\n\nThen the blood supply is returned and the kidney turns pink and perfused.\n\nOften the kidney passes urine on the operating table.\n\nMs Cornateanu said the shared donor scheme had been a big success\n\nThe surgery takes about three hours and the patient is immediately started on anti-rejection drugs and goes into a high-dependency unit.\n\nAfter successfully operating on Mandy, Ms Cornateanu describes her team as the \"vehicles\" between the donor and the recipient.\n\n\"That's our role. It is fulfilling, rewarding, humbling and it is a big relief at this stage.\"\n\nMs Cornateanu said the shared donor scheme had been a big success and even in the past year the number of live donor transplants had risen in Edinburgh by half to 14.\n\n\"It has been a big team effort from all of us and we need to sustain that. That's the challenge.\"\n\nAcross Scotland, 50 kidney sharing scheme transplants have taken place in the past five years.\n\nIt is more common for living donor transplants to involve a relative or friend who is a close match but this is not always possible.\n\nAnother form of living donation is \"altruistic\". Over the past 10 years, 78 people in Scotland have donated a kidney to a stranger.\n\nThe day after their operations, Mandy and Graham were told the other donor and recipient in the chain were doing well.\n\nGraham said: \"That's fantastic. We never expected to know.\"\n\nThe pair hope they will soon be recovered enough to fulfil all the plans they have had to put on hold until now.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

During protests in Edinburgh, 29 arrests were made.\n\nOrganisers said protests had been held in more than 80 cities across 33 countries.\n\nIn London, motorists face gridlocked traffic on a number of alternative routes, such as Westminster Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.\n\nTransport for London warned bus users that routes would remain on diversion or terminate early.\n\nMayor of London Sadiq Khan said although he \"shared the passion\" of the activists, he was \"extremely concerned\" about plans some had to disrupt the Tube on Wednesday.\n\n\"Ongoing demonstrations are causing serious disruption to public transport, local businesses and Londoners who wish to go about their daily business,\" Ch Supt Colin Wingrove, of the Met, said.\n\nCampaigners have been ordered to restrict their protests to Marble Arch after they caused widespread disruption on Monday. That order will continue until 21:10 on Friday.\n\nThree men and two women, in their 40s and 50s, arrested on suspicion of criminal damage at Shell's headquarters in London on Monday, have since been released while inquiries continue.\n\nThe majority of the other protesters detained have been held on suspicion of public order offences.\n\nProtesters formed a human blockade and resisted requests for them to disperse, police said\n\nMr Khan said it was \"absolutely crucial\" to get more people to use public transport to tackle climate change, and urged the protesters not to disrupt the Tube.\n\n\"Targeting public transport in this way would only damage the cause of all of us who want to tackle climate change, as well as risking Londoners' safety, and I'd implore anyone considering doing so to think again,\" he said.\n\nBut Extinction Rebellion has said it wanted to \"shut down London\" until 29 April.\n\nIt called for \"reinforcements\" to help maintain the roadblock at Waterloo Bridge.\n\nDemonstrators performed on Waterloo Bridge despite police warning that anyone refusing to move on would be arrested\n\nHundreds of protesters tried to hinder the police effort to move them on, including four who glued and chained themselves under a lorry parked on the bridge.\n\nBen Moss, 42, from Islington, north London, said he had glued himself to the bars of the lorry as \"personal action to the moral issue of the climate crisis and ecological collapse\".\n\n\"I'm doing this because I want the government to do something. I've got a week off work - if more is necessary I can make my excuses,\" he added.\n\nFour people glued and chained themselves to a lorry on Waterloo Bridge\n\nAn order has restricted protesters to gathering in the area around Marble Arch\n\nOn Monday, a pink boat was parked in the centre of Oxford Circus where some activists locked their arms together with makeshift devices, while oil company Shell's headquarters on Belvedere Road were vandalised.\n\nSince its launch last year, members have shut bridges, poured buckets of fake blood outside Downing Street, blockaded the BBC and stripped semi-naked in Parliament.\n\nIt has three core demands: for the government to \"tell the truth about climate change\", reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2025, and create a citizens' assembly to oversee progress.\n\nControversially, the group is trying to get as many people arrested as possible.\n\nOne of the group's founders, Roger Hallam, believes that mass participation and civil disobedience maximise the chances of social change.\n\nBut critics say they cause unnecessary disruption and waste police time when forces are already overstretched.\n\nThe second day of action included speeches at Parliament Square about how to tackle climate change.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

She wasn't found until several hours later when her partner came home from work and it was too late and she had gone. She died.\"\n\nDebbie had been prescribed the opiate-based painkiller dihydrocodeine by her family doctor in 2008 after developing back pain.\n\nAfter several years, it was recognised she was addicted. The family doctor tried to wean her off, but she was able to secretly buy medication, prescribed by doctors and dispensed by UK pharmacies, without her GP being informed by the companies.\n\nKevin said: \"There's no justification for what they do, which is exploiting people with an addiction. I would like to invite the companies to try and justify their actions to my mum.\n\n\"To look my mum in the eyes and explain why they allowed this to happen.\"\n\nThe inquest, which will decide the cause of death, is next month, but her brother told the BBC he felt the codeine had contributed to her death.\n\nAnother relative of a patient contacted the BBC. His wife had developed back pain after the birth of their first child in 2014.\n\nIn 2016, he realised she was addicted to dihydrocodeine - the same drug prescribed to Debbie - and asked her GP to help her get off them.\n\nIn 2017, she found out she was pregnant again.\n\n\"I think when she fell pregnant she was taking 20 pills a day secretly.\n\n\"Then I think she realised, and then the midwife weaned her down to eight to 10 pills a day.

Millions of people in the UK are given statins for this reason.\n\nBut statins can cause side effects and there is a debate about how many patients should be prescribed them.\n\nThe study, published in the journal Heart, included 165,411 patients who had been put on statins to cut their risk of developing heart disease by lowering their cholesterol to a healthy level.\n\nHalf of the patients - 84,609 in total - did not see their cholesterol go down by enough - the required 40% or more reduction specified by guidelines - even after being on the daily treatment for two years.\n\nExperts say the study findings are somewhat limited because they cannot prove that patients who do not respond well to statins will necessarily fare worse as a consequence. Other factors - like smoking and obesity - also raise cardiovascular risk.\n\nBut the work does provide \"real life\" data and experience to draw on.\n\nResearcher Dr Stephen Weng, from Nottingham University, said: \"Our research has shown that in almost half of patients prescribed statins, they are very effective and offer significant protection against cardiovascular disease.\n\n\"However, for the other half - whether it's due to your genetic make-up, having side effects, sticking to the treatment or other medications - we don't see that intended benefit.\"\n\nIn the study, a higher proportion of patients with a sub-optimal response to statins were prescribed lower potency doses, compared with those with an optimal response.\n\nHe said: \"We have to develop better ways to understand differences between patients and how we can tailor more effective treatment for those millions of patients who are simply blanket-prescribed statins.\"\n\nProf Metin Avkiran, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, advised: \"Statins are an important and proven treatment for lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.\n\n\"If you have been prescribed statins, you should continue to take them regularly, as prescribed. If you have any concerns you should discuss your medication with your GP. There are now other drugs available to help lower cholesterol levels, and it may be that another type of medication will be an effective addition or alternative for you.\"\n\nProf Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, said: \"When we prescribe medication, we have to rely on patients to make sure that they take it, both at the recommended dose and for the duration of time that we think will benefit them most.\n\n\"There is a substantial body of research showing that statins are safe and effective drugs for most people, and can reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke, when prescribed appropriately - but controversy remains around their widespread use and their potential side-effects.\n\n\"There are complex reasons why patients choose not to take their prescribed medication, and mixed messaging around statins could be one of these.\"\n• None More over-75s 'should take statins'\n• None Reality Check: Who should take statins?\n• None Are statins the best choice for me?

Notre-Dame has stood tall above Paris since the 1200s.\n\nIt has given its name to one of the country's literary masterpieces. Victor Hugo's novel Hunchback of Notre-Dame is known to the French simply as Notre Dame de Paris.\n\nThe last time the cathedral suffered major damage was during the French Revolution, when statues of saints were hacked by anti-clerical hotheads. The building survived the 1871 Commune uprising, as well as two world wars, largely unscathed.\n\nIt is impossible to overstate how shocking it is to watch such an enduring embodiment of our country burn.\n\nLocals are not famous for their sunny disposition, but few can walk along the banks of the Seine in the central part of the capital without feeling their spirits rise at the majestic bulk of Notre-Dame.\n\nIt is one of the few sights sure to make a Parisian feel good about living there.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The major operation to try to save the building\n\nLike all cherished places everywhere, it is not one residents visit very often. In the three decades I spent in my native city, I can't have been inside Notre-Dame more than three or four times - and then only with foreign visitors.\n\nThere are many of those. The cathedral is not just the most popular tourist site in Western Europe. Eight centuries after its completion, it is also still a place of worship - about 2,000 services are held there every year.\n\nBut it is also much more than a religious site. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed the shock of a \"whole nation\" at the fire. As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said, Notre Dame is \"part of our common heritage\".\n\nMany of those looking on as flames engulf the building are in tears. Their dismay is shared by believers and non-believers alike in a nation where faith has long ceased to be a binding force.", "More people over the age of 75 should be taking statins, scientists have said, following a review of research.\n\nThere had been a lack of evidence about how much the cholesterol-lowering drugs benefit this age group.\n\nBut the review found they cut the risk of major cardiovascular disease in all ages studied, including the over-75s.\n\nResearchers said thousands of lives could be saved each year if more than the estimated third of UK over-75s who do take statins, were given them.\n\nThey also said it could improve quality of life for many people.\n\nCardiovascular disease kills about 150,000 people in the UK each year, with two-thirds of these occurring in people over the age of 75.\n\nStatins reduce the build-up of fatty plaques that lead to blockages in blood vessels, though reported side effects and the extent of how often they are prescribed has attracted controversy.\n\nThe review, which looked at 28 randomised controlled trials - often called the \"gold standard\" of studies - involving nearly 190,000 patients, found statins lowered the risk of major cardiovascular disease in the ages studied, from under-55s to over-75s.\n\nThere were similar reductions in risk for stroke and for coronary stenting or bypass surgery.\n\nAuthors of the paper said there had until now been an \"evidence gap\" around how effective the drugs are for the elderly.\n\nThey estimate that about a third of the 5.5 million people in the UK over 75 take a statin, when the \"vast majority\" of these would meet the medicine regulator's guidelines for being prescribed the drug.\n\nProf Colin Baigent, one of the authors of the paper, said: \"One of the issues we have is that very often doctors are unwilling to consider statin therapy for elderly people simply because they're old, and that, I think, is an attitude that is preventing us from making use of the tools we have available to us.\"\n\nResearchers said statins may help people avoid disability caused by cardiovascular disease\n\nThe benefits were strongest in people who have already had vascular disease. There wasn't enough data in people over the age of 75 who haven't had it to show a benefit. Experts have called for more data to guide prescription for these people.\n\nHowever, the authors said even a smaller reduction in risk was significant because the elderly have a higher baseline risk for cardiovascular disease in the first place.\n\nThe more people reduced their low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or \"bad\" cholesterol, the more the risk of cardiovascular disease was lowered, the study found.\n\nA 1.0 mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol lowered the risk of major vascular events by about a fifth and a major coronary event by a quarter, when results from all age groups were combined.\n\nTo put this into perspective, about 2.5% of 63-year-olds with no history of vascular disease would be expected to have their first major vascular event per year, compared with 4% of 78-year-olds.\n\nReducing those risks by a fifth would prevent first major vascular events from occurring each year in 50 people aged 63 and 80 people aged 78 per 10,000 people treated.\n\nProf Baigent said there was an argument for giving statins to people over the age of 75 who have a \"normal\" level of LDL cholesterol.\n\nHe said: \"In many circumstances, the person may be very healthy, they may be able to avoid having a stroke or having a heart attack simply by taking a cheap and safe tablet every day.\n\n\"That may be a choice they're willing to take. At the moment I feel we're not taking the opportunity to offer that.\"\n\nThere has been controversy about statin side effects and how often they are prescribed, especially in otherwise healthy people.\n\nIt is possible to lower cholesterol levels without drugs by making lifestyle changes, such as by cutting down on saturated fat and eating more fruit, vegetables and fibre.\n\nProf Baigent said side effects were \"massively outweighed, both in middle age and the elderly, by the benefits of statin therapy that we already know about\".\n\nAnd he also said he was not calling for people to pick statins over exercise and lifestyle changes.\n\n\"I think it's not an either/or,\" he added.\n\nThe Royal College of GPs welcomed the research and said it was \"particularly reassuring\" to see evidence of the benefit of statins in over-75s.\n\nProf Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the college, said some patients would not want to be on long-term medication.\n\n\"But GPs are highly trained to prescribe and will only recommend the drugs if they think they will genuinely help the person sitting in front of them, based on their individual circumstances - and after a frank conversation about the potential risks and benefits.\"", "Les Reed, (left), pictured in 1961 with Vic Flick and Mike Peters - fellow members of The John Barry Seven\n\nSongwriter Les Reed has died at the age of 83, his family has confirmed.\n\nHe was well known for co-writing Tom Jones hits Delilah and It's Not Unusual, as well as Engelbert Humperdinck's The Last Waltz.\n\nReed also served as a pianist in The John Barry Seven and conducted his own orchestra for more than 10 years.\n\n\"We are all so immensely proud of everything Les achieved in his incredible lifetime,\" his family said in a statement issued to BBC News.\n\n\"We know that his name will be remembered for what he did for music and that he will always live through his songs and compositions for the rest of time.\"\n\n\"So sorry to hear the news of the passing of my friend and colleague Les Reed.\" said Sir Tom Jones.\n\n\"Les was a gifted songwriter and arranger who was instrumental in penning many a hit, including two important songs for me...

Alba then crossed for Sergi Roberto but De Gea blocked the Spaniard's close-range shot on the goal line.\n\nIn such sublime form, Messi looks intent on leading his side to a first Champions League title since 2015.\n\nAnd the celebratory mood at the Nou Camp was summed up in the second half when the Barcelona supporters loudly cheered news of Ajax's winning goal against Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus in the night's other quarter-final second leg.\n\n'They were a couple of levels above' - manager reaction\n\nManchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on BT Sport: \"I have to say Lionel Messi is top quality and he was the difference of course.

It was set alight after it was hit by lightning, causing £2.25m ($3m) in damage.\n\n\"We went in and there were piles of charred timbers on the floor,\" he recalls. \"There was black ash and soot and the whole building smelt of smoke. There was a sort of gloom in the place.\"\n\nBut he says the team was confident it could be repaired and he feels equally optimistic about Notre-Dame. \"There was no fear about putting it back and I imagine that's the same in this case\" he says.\n\n\"It's quite achievable to see it [restored] and it's an opportunity to show that this work can still be done,\" he says.\n\nJohn David helped repair York Minster after it was hit by a lightning strike in 1984\n\nMr David says the restoration team must first remove the Notre-Dame's burnt scaffolding. There were extensive renovation works taking place at the time of the fire and a huge scaffold was covering much of its exterior.\n\n\"The scaffolding will be in the way and will have to be delicately taken down because it's suffered with the heat,\" he says.\n\nHe explains that a protective cover will then need to be placed over the cathedral to shield it from the wind and rain.\n\nAny fallen timber and other debris inside the cathedral will need to be cleared out, Mr David says. But this debris won't just be removed and forgotten about.\n\n\"Early phases of the work will include the archaeological recording of surviving fragments of timber, stone and artworks,\" says Dr Kate Giles, from the University of York's department of archaeology.\n\n\"This will enable the Notre-Dame team to salvage what can be reused and provide crucial evidence for the design of new fabrics in the building,\" she says.\n\nThe fire at Notre-Dame raged for more than 15 hours\n\nOnce the cathedral is cleared, experts say a thorough survey will need to be carried out to establish the extent of the damage and to ensure it is safe to re-enter.\n\n\"Safety will be the prime concern,\" says Dr Amira Elnokaly, a lecturer in archaeology at the University of Lincoln. \"There should be critical inspections to avoid any risks of further collapses or falling debris.\"\n\nThe survey will then turn to the stonework at the top of the cathedral near the roof.\n\n\"The upper stone work, the vaulting and the top windows, will have been baked and the temperature will have spoiled and weakened the stone,\" says Paul Binski, a history of medieval art professor at the University of Cambridge.\n\n\"The first thing they're going to do is a massive survey of the stone,\" he says. \"They're going to have to scaffold the whole building and look very closely at its condition.\"\n\nA view of the stone ceiling inside the Notre-Dame before the fire\n\nThis is because the stone ceiling will have taken the brunt of the impact when the timber roof above collapsed, experts suggest.\n\n\"The 19th Century spire, the 19th Century roofing, what will have happened is that these will have crashed down on to the stone vault underneath, the rib vault, which rises to 108ft (33m),\" Prof Binski says.\n\n\"The vaulting system will have shielded what's in the church from the inferno above,\" he adds. \"Of course, it will likely have come down in parts, but it will have done a major protective job.\"\n\nIndeed, images appear to show that the pulpit, pews and altar have escaped the fire largely unscathed.\n\nIf some of the stonework does need to be replaced then, Prof Binski says, the team will probably use traditional methods to do so.\n\n\"It's important to look at the original construction methods and try to emulate them.\" he explains. \"This involves building an awful lot of wood scaffolding inside the church because [stone vaulting] is built around a kind of wooden structure - like a mould.\n\n\"They're not built with cement but with something that's rather like putty.\"\n\nProf Binski says that if a large amount of the stone vaulting needs to be replaced it could be \"the biggest vaulting operation of this type undertaken since the Middle Ages\".\n\n\"The question is how long this is going to take and my guess is 5-10 years minimum to get the whole thing re-vaulted,\" he says.\n\nThis estimate highlights the challenges facing the restoration team if they are to meet President Emmanuel Macron's suggested timescale. The French leader wants Notre-Dame rebuilt by the time Paris hosts the Summer Olympics in 2024.\n\nBut Mr David says this is a feasible goal. \"I don't think it will take 10 years,\" he says. \"It might take two years to decide what to do, but [five years] is quite achievable.\"\n\nPhotos from inside the cathedral appear to show that at least one of its famed rose windows has survived, although there are concerns for some of the other stained-glass windows.\n\nSo how will the experts protect and restore these?\n\n\"They will do an initial survey when they establish what the highest priorities are in terms of historical and artistic significance,\" says Sarah Brown, an expert in stained glass windows.\n\nAt least one of the three famous rose windows is reported to have survived the fire\n\n\"I suspect all of the windows will require some attention because a fire of that size will generate so much smoke and soot,\" she says. \"Even if the windows are in relatively good order they're certainly going to require cleaning.\n\n\"The biggest problem will be the heating up and then the rapid cooling down of the glass as it's been struck by water from the cannons,\" Ms Brown explains. \"This will bring about thermal shock that will cause micro-fractures in the glass which will be really difficult to stabilise.\"\n\nShe continues: \"They will need to re-lead these windows because the lead that keeps it all together will no longer hold good, but you cannot even attempt that until you've stabilised the heat-induced micro-fractures in the glass.\n\nThere are modern adhesives that can do that, however.\"\n\nAnd what if one of the cathedral's windows has been completely destroyed? \"The big question then is how they go about re-glazing the building,\" Ms Brown says.\n\n\"You can't leave it with nothing in the window,\" she says. \"Some might call for a new stained glass window but it's too early to say what should be done. Windows can be remarkably resilient, so let's hope that's been the case here.\"", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

No one could tell me and it's not my view\", he said at the time.\n\n\"So if it's not my view, I wouldn't have made those comments\", he added.\n\nHowever a new video shows Mr Burgon saying: \"The enemy of the Palestinian people is not the Jewish people. The enemy of the Palestinian people are Zionists, and Zionism is the enemy of peace and the enemy of the Palestinian people.\"\n\nIn a statement, Mr Burgon said he did not \"recall\" making the remark when asked about the 2016 newspaper reports, and had asked for details of the quote.\n\n\"I received no reply, so I believed it was inaccurate to have claimed that I had used that phrase. It is now clear that I did and I regret doing so\", he said.\n\n\"As I have subsequently said on numerous occasions when asked about this, I do not agree with that phrase\", he added.\n\n\"The terminology has different meanings to different people and the simplistic language used does not reflect how I now think about this complex issue and I would not use it again today\".\n\nJournalist Iggy Ostanin, who released the video, said the footage was from 2014 - before Mr Burgon was elected as MP for Leeds East at the 2015 general election.\n\nMr Burgon said he had been criticising the \"aggressive expansionist policies\" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\nIn the video, Mr Burgon also called for MPs who are members of Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) to resign from the group \"in support of the Palestinian people\".\n\nLFI Director Jennifer Gerber said: \"For nearly two years, Richard Burgon has deployed half-denials and weasel words to escape responsibility for his appalling suggestion that Zionism is the enemy of peace.\"\n\n\"Now that we've all seen exactly what he said, it's time for Mr Burgon to apologise both for this slur on the Jewish people's right to self-determination and for seemingly misleading the public about it\".\n\n\"Somebody who aspires to be one of the country's leading legal figures simply cannot behave in this fashion.\"\n\nAmanda Bowman, Vice-President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said Mr Burgon \"should apologise for his comments and for his denial of them\".\n\n\"Richard Burgon's denial and the subsequent revelation of his 2014 incitement against Zionists encapsulate the total sham of Labour's approach to anti-Semitism\", she added.", "Construction on Stonehenge probably began about 3,000BC\n\nThe ancestors of the people who built Stonehenge travelled west across the Mediterranean before reaching Britain, a study has shown.\n\nResearchers compared DNA extracted from Neolithic human remains found across Britain with that of people alive at the same time in Europe.\n\nThe Neolithic inhabitants were descended from populations originating in Anatolia (modern Turkey) that moved to Iberia before heading north.\n\nThey reached Britain in about 4,000BC.\n\nDetails have been published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.\n\nThe migration to Britain was just one part of a general, massive expansion of people out of Anatolia in 6,000BC that introduced farming to Europe.\n\nBefore that, Europe was populated by small, travelling groups which hunted animals and gathered wild plants and shellfish.\n\nOne group of early farmers followed the river Danube up into Central Europe, but another group travelled west across the Mediterranean.\n\nDNA reveals that Neolithic Britons were largely descended from groups who took the Mediterranean route, either hugging the coast or hopping from island-to-island on boats. Some British groups had a minor amount of ancestry from groups that followed the Danube route.\n\nA facial reconstruction of Whitehawk Woman, a 5,600-year-old Neolithic woman from Sussex. The reconstruction is on show at the Royal Pavilion & Museum in Brighton\n\nWhen the researchers analysed the DNA of early British farmers, they found they most closely resembled Neolithic people from Iberia (modern Spain and Portugal). These Iberian farmers were descended from people who had journeyed across the Mediterranean.\n\nFrom Iberia, or somewhere close, the Mediterranean farmers travelled north through France. They might have entered Britain from the west, through Wales or south-west England. Indeed, radiocarbon dates suggest that Neolithic people arrived marginally earlier in the west, but this remains a topic for future work.\n\nIn addition to farming, the Neolithic migrants to Britain appear to have introduced the tradition of building monuments using large stones known as megaliths. Stonehenge in Wiltshire was part of this tradition.\n\nAlthough Britain was inhabited by groups of \"western hunter-gatherers\" when the farmers arrived in about 4,000BC, DNA shows that the two groups did not mix very much at all.\n\nThe British hunter-gatherers were almost completely replaced by the Neolithic farmers, apart from one group in western Scotland, where the Neolithic inhabitants had elevated local ancestry. This could have come down to the farmer groups simply having greater numbers.\n\n\"We don't find any detectable evidence at all for the local British western hunter-gatherer ancestry in the Neolithic farmers after they arrive,\" said co-author Dr Tom Booth, a specialist in ancient DNA from the Natural History Museum in London.\n\n\"That doesn't mean they don't mix at all, it just means that maybe their population sizes were too small to have left any kind of genetic legacy.\"\n\nCo-author Professor Mark Thomas, from UCL, said he also favoured \"a numbers game explanation\".\n\nA reconstruction of Cheddar Man. As with other Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, DNA results suggest he had dark skin and blue or green eyes\n\nProfessor Thomas said the Neolithic farmers had probably had to adapt their practices to different climatic conditions as they moved across Europe. But by the time they reached Britain they were already \"tooled up\" and well-prepared for growing crops in a north-west European climate.\n\nThe study also analysed DNA from these British hunter-gatherers. One of the skeletons analysed was that of Cheddar Man, whose skeletal remains have been dated to 7,100BC.\n\nHe was the subject of a reconstruction unveiled at the Natural History Museum last year. DNA suggests that, like most other European hunter-gatherers of the time, he had dark skin combined with blue eyes.\n\nGenetic analysis shows that the Neolithic farmers, by contrast, were paler-skinned with brown eyes and black or dark-brown hair.\n\nTowards the end of the Neolithic, in about 2,450BC, the descendants of the first farmers were themselves almost entirely replaced when a new population - called the Bell Beaker people - migrated from mainland Europe. So Britain saw two extreme genetic shifts in the space of a few thousand years.\n\nProf Thomas said that this later event happened after the Neolithic population had been in decline for some time, both in Britain and across Europe. He cautioned against simplistic explanations invoking conflict, and said the shifts ultimately came down to \"economic\" factors, about which lifestyles were best suited to exploit the landscape.\n\nDr Booth explained: \"It's difficult to see whether the two [genetic shifts] could have anything in common - they're two very different kinds of change. There's speculation that they're to some extent population collapses. But the reasons suggested for those two collapses are different, so it could just be coincidence.\"", "Former politician Sergiy Tigipko is one of the most influential men in Ukraine\n\nOne of Ukraine's richest men is being investigated by Scotland Yard over the abduction of his two British grandchildren from the UK to Ukraine.\n\nBanker and industrialist Sergiy Tigipko helped his daughter Ganna defy High Court orders to bring her children back to the UK from Kiev, a judge has ruled.\n\nThe court had ordered Ms Tigipko back to London, where the children's British father lives, so they could see him.\n\nSergiy and Ganna can be named after an exceptional decision by a judge.\n\nThe children were \"suffering harm\" by being separated from their father, the court heard.\n\nThe judge heard that publicity could make their mother and grandfather return them.\n\nMs Tigipko said everything she had done since her husband left her in 2015 had been \"for the welfare of my children and nobody else\".\n\nShe added the children were \"happy and settled in Ukraine now\" and that their father was \"welcome to visit them\".\n\nIt is believed to be the first time a judge has allowed abductors to be named in this way - usually it only happens when children's whereabouts are unknown.\n\nMs Tigipko met the children's father in 2010 and married in 2012.\n\nThey settled in north London, and had two daughters. But, in late 2015, the father announced the marriage was over.\n\nInitially, Ms Tigipko was happy to stay in London. She had founded a clinic in Harley Street.\n\nWith help from her mother, she bought a £9m home in Hampstead, which is one of London's most expensive districts and popular with Russian speakers.\n\nThe children's father lived nearby with his new wife.\n\nBut then Ms Tigipko met a new partner too, and married him in 2017 in Ukraine.\n\nIn November 2017, she took the girls for a visit to Kiev - and stayed there, violating an informal agreement with the father to remain living in the UK.\n\nShe sold her house in Hampstead and gave up her Harley Street business.\n\nIn April 2018, the High Court ruled she must return to London to live - but she ignored repeated court orders.\n\nMr Justice Mostyn found that her father, Sergiy, had helped her.\n\nHe was fully satisfied \"of his deep complicity\", he said in his judgment.\n\nAs no progress was being made, the girls' father took the exceptional step of asking for the grandfather and mother to be named, hoping that would encourage them to return the children.\n\nMr Tigipko is being investigated by Scotland Yard\n\nMr Tigipko is one of the richest and most powerful men in Ukraine.\n\nThe billionaire was an ally of Ukraine's former president, Viktor Yanukovych - serving as a vice prime minister in his administration - and twice stood as a presidential candidate himself.\n\nIn recent years, he has concentrated on his business interests, and told the court he had no further interest in politics.\n\nThe court heard that before the children were taken to Kiev, they had had a close relationship with their father.\n\nBut now they have been turned against him.\n\nIn December, the older girl told a court appointed expert: \"Papa is bad.\"\n\nHe has three children from a previous marriage while his new wife has a son from an earlier relationship.\n\nIt is believed to be the first time a judge has named abductors in such a case.\n\nIn family courts, protecting the children's identity is paramount and they are only named when their whereabouts is unknown, as in the case of Olly Sheridan.\n\nMr Justice Mostyn said that he placed \"great weight\" on the submissions made by the barrister for the children's court-appointed guardian, who had supported publication.\n\nHe said that child abduction was a \"heinous practice\" and yet \"public awareness is curiously very limited\".\n\nOrysia Lutsevych, from the think tank Chatham House, said many in Ukraine would be unsympathetic to the Tigipkos.\n\nShe said there was a sense that the very rich behave differently, that the rules do not apply to them, that they're \"untouchable\".\n\n\"I'm sure lots of Ukrainians will be watching the case,\" she added.", "The fire at York Minster in 1984 was started by a lightning strike\n\nThe battle to halt the devastating blaze at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris evoked memories of the fire that took hold in York Minster 35 years ago.\n\nMillions of euros have been pledged to help rebuild Notre-Dame after Monday's fire destroyed much of the 850-year-old Gothic building.\n\nIn the early hours of 9 July 1984, lightning set fire to York Minster's south transept causing £2.25m damage.\n\nExperts at York said restoring Notre-Dame was \"quite achievable\".\n\nJohn David, a master mason at York Minster, said Notre-Dame could be rebuilt using traditional crafts.\n\nMr David, who was working at the Minster in 1984 and dealt with the reconstruction after that fire, said work to repair the building may take time, but it would be done properly.\n\nHe said the two churches faced the same dilemma on reconstruction.\n\nMore than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze in the south transept of the church in the centre of York\n\nMr David said: \"At York Minster there were questions about whether we put an oak roof back on top or a steel roof or even a concrete roof.\n\n\"Some people think we can't do this sort of thing any more in traditional materials - we can, and so I think the roof will be reconstructed and put back on.\n\n\"I don't think it will take 10 years - it might take two years to decide what to do, but it's quite achievable.\"\n\nArchbishop of York Dr John Sentamu tweeted to say he was offering prayers after the fire at Notre-Dame.\n\nThe rose window at the Minster was cracked in about 40,000 places but was saved by York Glaziers Trust\n\nThe blaze at York Minster left the south transept badly damaged\n\nAlan Stowe, who was the divisional fire commander at the time of the Minster blaze, said the scale of the fire may have differed but the TV pictures reminded him of the night he was called to the centre of York.\n\nHe said: \"It certainly brought back very, very vivid memories of the 9 July 1984 with the sky lit by the flames leaping from the structure of that building.\n\n\"A building that, like York Minster, that's so loved, so important, so well known internationally and containing so many valuable artefacts.\"\n\nMr Stowe added: \"The picture that I saw was very similar to the one that confronted me as I approached the blaze at York Minster where there were so many things to be considered including difficulty of access.\n\n\"Dealing with the fire was a tremendous responsibility, a tremendous challenge, not only in minimising the damage caused by the fire.\"\n\nThe Dean of York, Jonathan Frost, said in a tweet his thoughts were with the people of Paris.\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

We need to work urgently to get behind a Brexit deal that protects this jobs record and gives employers the certainty to continue to invest in their workforce and boost wages.\"\n\nMike Amesbury, Labour's shadow employment minister, said: \"Behind today's headline figures, average wages are still less than they were 10 years ago and in-work poverty is rising faster than employment.\n\n\"Too many people are trapped in low-paid, insecure work and 70% of children in poverty now live in working families.\"\n\nThe number of economically inactive people fell by 114,000 in the latest quarter to 8.53 million, a rate of just under 21%, the joint lowest on record.\n\nThe number of vacancies was almost unchanged at 852,000.\n\nAnxiety over Brexit has deterred some businesses from investing - but not, it would appear, hiring more workers as yet.\n\nHiring plans tend to lag behind changes in economic activity, as employers wait to assess changes in demand, so the resilience of the labour market is perhaps unsurprising - particularly as consumer spending remains solid for now.\n\nBut economists say employment could yet falter later in the year if the uncertainty is drawn out.\n\nWages growth continues to comfortably outpace inflation compared with a year ago (although in real terms, the level of average wages remains below the pre-crisis levels).\n\nThe level of vacancies is down on the record of 864,000 seen at the start of the year, in another sign of strong demand.\n\nTUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: \"This modest pay growth is doing little for workers still feeling the effects of the longest pay squeeze for 200 years.\n\n\"And with over half of those in poverty living in working households, we need a more ambitious plan to support jobs and wages.\"\n\nFederation of Small Businesses national chairman Mike Cherry said: \"At a time when political uncertainty is making it impossible to plan and operating costs are spiralling, a tight labour market represents yet another headache for small business owners.\n\n\"One in five small UK employers rely on staff from the EU. The sharp drop in European arrivals is a real concern for many smaller firms, particularly those in sectors such as construction, care and engineering, where the contribution of EU team members is so vital. One in three small firms now say lack of access to the right personnel is a major barrier to growth.\"\n\nThomas Pugh, UK economist at Capital Economics, said: \"We suspect that this could mark the peak of employment growth, as the Brexit uncertainty reached its crescendo and the surveys turned down sharply in March.\"\n\nHe added that employment growing more slowly than output could ease some pressure on labour costs and said that he did not expect any interest rate rise until the second half of 2020.", "US marine Micah Herndon's legs gave way around 22 miles into the Boston Marathon.

However, nothing about measles has changed. It has not mutated to become more infectious or more dangerous. Instead the answers are entirely human.\n\nThere are two stories here - one of poverty and one of misinformation. In poorer countries fewer people are vaccinated and a larger portion of the population is left vulnerable to the virus.\n\nThis creates the environment for a large outbreak to occur - such as those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan and Madagascar.\n\nBut rich countries with seemingly high vaccination rates are seeing cases spike too. This is because clusters of people are choosing not to vaccinate their children due to the spread of untrue anti-vax messages on social media.\n\nIt is worth noting these figures are provisional, the WHO says the true figures will be much higher. And that measles is far from harmless. It kills around 100,000 people, mostly children, every year.\n\nThe pair wrote that it was \"understandable, in such a climate, how loving parents can feel lost\" but that \"ultimately, there is no 'debate' to be had about the profound benefits of vaccines\".\n\nThey added: \"More than 20 million lives have been saved through measles vaccination since the year 2000 alone.\"\n\nIn response to recent measles outbreaks, calls have mounted in several countries to make immunisation mandatory.\n\nLast month, Italy banned children under six from attending schools unless they had received vaccines for chickenpox, measles and other illnesses.\n\nA public health emergency has also been declared in areas of New York, ordering all residents to be vaccinated or face a fine.", "Delayed discharges take up much needed hospital beds\n\nMore than 200 people died in Northern Ireland's hospitals in 2018 while waiting to be discharged.\n\nA report by the charity Marie Curie also showed delayed discharges resulted in patients spending thousands of extra days in hospital.\n\nThis was despite the patients being declared ready to go home.\n\nThe Health and Social Care Board said ensuring all patients were able to either return home or to a community setting was a key priority.\n\nSome of the patients had a terminal illness, such as cancer or a respiratory condition.\n\nOthers may have been approaching the natural end of their lives.\n\nInstead of being cared for at home or in the community, the report says 204 people were stuck in hospital and eventually died there.\n\nFreedom of Information requests were sent to all of the five local health trusts.\n\nWhile there is no breakdown of types of illness and patient, the data may also include those who at the last minute decided not to go home.\n\nHead of policy and public affairs for Marie Curie Northern Ireland, Joan McEwan, expressed disappointment at the findings.\n\n\"The local population is getting older and we are seeing more and more people living with terminal illnesses and complex needs,\" she said.\n\n\"Not only is this resulting in greater numbers of hospital admissions, it is also putting massive additional pressure on community care, which is vital in helping the safe and prompt discharge of patients back home.\"\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nDelayed discharges clog up the system and take up much-needed hospital beds.\n\nThe report, Every Minute Matters, highlighted that more than 46,000 bed days were lost across the system.\n\nThis dramatically impacts on the day-to-day running of a hospital.\n\nOn a more personal note, delayed hospital discharge has a significant impact on terminally ill people, causing distress and frustration, affecting their quality of life and preventing men and women from spending as much time as possible in their own home or community, surrounded by family.\n\nThe statistics should not come as a surprise.

Everybody seems to know where they're going and what they're doing.\"\n\nThe school has not excluded any pupils yet in this academic year\n\nChildren's Commissioner for England Anne Longfield said there were some schools that were \"keener on excluding children\" to attain better performance levels.\n\n\"Recent figures we've produced show 88% of exclusions take part in just 10% of schools\".\n\n\"Those schools that are chasing the academic grades are much more likely to want to have those children off site and off their books.\"\n\nShe said she wanted schools to provide more support to children at risk of exclusion and to \"keep them in school\".\n\nFollow BBC Yorkshire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

They also lost key midfielder Kevin de Bruyne to injury.\n\nFoden gave City the perfect start but Ederson thwarted Son Heung-min on three occasions and saved well from Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura. Son was also denied by a magnificent tackle by Aymeric Laporte.\n\nRaheem Sterling had City's best chance after the break, only to be frustrated by the outstretched leg of Spurs keeper Paulo Gazzaniga - in for injured Hugo Lloris - but Pep Guardiola's side held on to move a point clear of Liverpool with four games left.\n• None 'We are fighting with the best Liverpool ever'\n• None Who will win the title? Make your prediction\n\nThe joy at the final whistle was a mixture of celebration and relief. This was a huge win for City and everyone inside the Etihad knew it.\n\nCity needed to pick themselves up instantly after the crushing disappointment of their Champions League exit in the knowledge that one slip, even if it came in the shape of a draw, could hand the title to Liverpool.\n\nThis was not the fluent City that is their trademark. The other qualities that can make champions came to the fore here - concentration, determination, heart, resilience and character.\n\nAnd it was in abundant supply throughout the team, from Ederson's outstanding saves, Laporte's priceless tackle on Son and in the outstanding performances of Foden and Bernardo Silva.\n\nFoden showed maturity beyond his years, even apart from his winner, demanding the ball, taking responsibility and directing more experienced players. It is early days but the evidence is clear that he is a special talent.\n\nSilva simply gets better, the ideal combination of limitless energy and creative skill, all employed within the Guardiola framework.\n\nThe only downside, a considerable one, was that injury to De Bruyne, which, judging from the player's reaction, may be a problem that threatens his participation in the rest of the season.\n\nThis City win will not earn maximum marks for artistic merit, but they did exactly what was needed after the traumatic Champions League exit as they recorded their 10th Premier League win in a row.\n\nSpurs felt City received a generous decision from referee Michael Oliver in the second half when they appealed for handball against Kyle Walker as he challenged with Dele Alli - but it is three points and on to the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Wednesday.\n\nSon Heung-min may not have punished City as he did on Wednesday, but his performance confirmed he will be Tottenham's torch bearer in the absence of the injured Harry Kane.\n\nWhen Kane is missing, weight inevitably shifts on to the shoulders of the South Korean, but it is an added burden he carries lightly.\n\nSon was the man who had the Etihad's nerves on edge whenever he had the ball or was in the general vicinity of it.\n\nHe brought important saves from Ederson and played with the pace and power that now makes him out as one of the Premier League's finest forwards.\n\nSpurs could not quite replicate their heroics of Wednesday when, even though they lost 4-3 on the night, they made it through to the Champions League semi-finals on aggregate.\n\nIt is a result that inflicts some damage because, even though they remain in third place, the defeat offers up more hope to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the increasingly competitive battle for the top four.\n\n'I couldn't have done what my players did' - what they said\n\nManchester City boss Pep Guardiola: \"Both teams have incredible players with heart and personality. It was a real tough game after our mental defeat on Wednesday and we knew we could have lost the Premier League today.\n\n\"As a footballer, I could not have done what my players have done today. The title is still in our hands.\n\n\"We've been on a remarkable run, playing against an incredible team like Tottenham and fighting for the Premier League with the best Liverpool team ever, one of the best teams I've seen in my life.\n\n\"We'll fight until the end and see how far we get.\"\n\nOn goalscorer Phil Foden: \"He's so dynamic and adds extra intensity into our game. I wanted more attack and aggression in the box and he brings that to us with his work and ability. He did well today against top players.\"\n\nFoden: \"When an opportunity comes along, I want to be able to take it. Today it paid off. Kun (Aguero) did great to head it back across goal and luckily I was there.\n\n\"I want to get in the box and score goals. I look up to every player in this team and try and learn from them.\"\n\nTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: \"It was an amazing game. Both teams competed really well and we deserved more.

one of the main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - when she was 13.\n\nAfter years of trying medications and being in and out of hospital, when she was 17 she had emergency surgery to remove part of her diseased large bowel, leaving her with a stoma.\n\nNot long after her second operation -

England and Wales could be prevented if routine check-ups were better targeted, say researchers.\n\nCurrently, people aged 40 and over are eligible to have their heart health assessed every five years.\n\nBut UCL scientists say people at low risk are being checked too often while those considered at high risk are not checked often enough.\n\nThey say a personalised approach could save lives without costing any more.\n\nChances of a heart attack or stroke can be worked out by looking at risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol and blood-sugar levels, age, family history and whether the person smokes.\n\nHigh-risk patients are told to change their lifestyle, and if that does not work they are offered statins to reduce \"bad\" cholesterol or drugs to lower blood pressure.\n\nThe researchers followed 7,000 people to see how long they spent in different risk categories.\n\nThe study, in the Lancet Public Health, showed:\n\nThe researchers then simulated different ways of screening people depending on their heart-risk category.\n\nFor example, screening low-risk patients every seven years, intermediate-low every four years and intermediate-high every year cost the same as the current system.\n\nHowever, the targeted system would enable high-risk patients to be treated sooner and prevent 8% of heart attacks and strokes, say the researchers.\n\nThat would prevent 5,000 people a year in England and Wales having a potentially life-threatening heart attack or stroke.\n\nProf Mika Kivimaki, one of the researchers, said: \"The key message is use individualised screening, not one-size-fits-all.\n\n\"I believe this will change because there is a tendency towards precision medicine and individualised treatment and prevention.\n\n\"I think this will be taken up in future and I hope it will happen sooner rather than later.\"\n\nThe next stage of the research would be to perform a clinical trial to see whether switching screening methods would actually make a difference.\n\nProf Sir Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: \"While changing the frequency of heart-health check-ups based on a person's individual risk could potentially save lives and costs, it's easier said than done.\n\n\"An issue that is even more important to address is why so many people who could benefit from health checks are not getting them in the first place.\n\n\"If you know you're at higher risk of developing heart and circulatory disease, it's really important to attend regular health checks to help manage your risk factors to prevent problems later in life.\"", "Earlier this month John, who believed he was due a tax refund, received a text message from \"InfoHM\".\n\n\"I was bleary-eyed from waking up early,\" he says. \"The excitement of what my tax refund would be overwhelmed my normally pretty rational brain.\"\n\nHe followed online instructions, and unwittingly provided personal and bank account details to online fraudsters.\n\nHM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is now warning young adults to be wary of such phone scams.\n\nIn April and May, the government body says, fraudsters target vulnerable people with fake messages to coincide with the time legitimate rebates are being processed.\n\nBecause younger adults typically manage their finances via their mobile phones, they can be particularly susceptible to an approach via text message, HMRC warns.\n\nLast Spring, HMRC received 250,000 reports of such scams.\n\nJohn, who did not want the BBC to use his real name, says he is now \"cringing\" over falling for it. But he says the page he was directed to was \"the spitting image\" of a gov.uk site.

but despite the risks, her parents fought for her to be one of the first children in the UK to be given an auditory brainstem implant, requiring complex brain surgery when she was two years old.\n\nNHS England calls the surgery \"truly life-changing\" and has said it will fund the implant for other deaf children in a similar position.\n\nIt is estimated that about 15 children a year will be assessed for the procedure and nine will go on to have surgery.\n\nBob says opting for this type of brain surgery was a huge decision for them, but \"we wanted to give Leia the best opportunity in life\".\n\nHe and his wife Alison hoped that after the surgery at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust she would be able to hear things like cars beeping their horns as she crossed the road -

One Tory MP resigned the whip in frustration.\n\nMrs May will now hold a crucial cabinet meeting to decide what to do and whether to put her deal to MPs again.\n\nThe UK has until 12 April to either seek a longer extension from the EU or decide to leave without a deal.\n\nThe so-called indicative votes on Monday night were not legally binding, so the government would not have been forced to adopt the proposals. But they had been billed as the moment when Parliament might finally compromise.\n\nMrs May's plan for the UK's departure has been rejected by MPs three times.\n\nAs a result of that failure, she was forced to ask the EU to agree to postpone Brexit from the original date of 29 March.\n\nMeanwhile, Parliament took control of the process away from the government in order to hold a series of votes designed to find an alternative way forward.\n\nLast week, eight options were put to MPs, but none was able to command a majority, and on Monday night, a whittled down four were rejected too. They were:\n\nThose pushing for a customs union argued that their option was defeated by the narrowest margin, only three votes.\n\nIt would see the UK remain in the same system of tariffs - taxes - on goods as the rest of the EU - potentially simplifying the issue of the Northern Ireland border, but preventing the UK from striking independent trade deals with other countries.\n\nThose in favour of another EU referendum pointed out that the motion calling for that option received the most votes in favour, totalling 280.\n\nFollowing the failure of his own motion, Common Market 2.0, Conservative former minister Nick Boles resigned from the party.\n\nThe MP for Grantham and Stamford said he could \"no longer sit for this party\", adding: \"I have done everything I can to find a compromise.\"\n\nAs he left the Commons, MPs were heard shouting, \"don't go Nick\", while some MPs from other parties applauded him.\n\nHe later tweeted that he would remain an MP and sit in the Commons as \"an Independent Progressive Conservative\".\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Parliament doesn't know what it wants and we still have lots of different tribes and factions who aren't willing to make peace.\n\nThat means that by the day, two things are becoming more likely.

Jack Renshaw admitted plotting to kill an MP but denied membership of National Action\n\nA man who plotted the murder of an MP will not face a retrial for membership of a banned neo-Nazi group.\n\nJack Renshaw, from Skelmersdale in Lancashire, bought a machete to kill Labour's Rosie Cooper and a police officer against whom he had a grudge.\n\nThe 23-year-old admitted preparing an act of terrorism but denied membership of National Action.\n\nAfter a seven-week retrial, the Old Bailey jury said it was unable to reach a unanimous or majority verdict.\n\nIt can now be reported for the first time that Renshaw was last year convicted of grooming two adolescent boys online for sex.\n\nDuring the first Old Bailey trial last year, he admitted a terrorist plot to murder Ms Cooper with a 19in (48cm) Gladius knife.\n\nHe also pleaded guilty to making a threat to kill detective Victoria Henderson, who was investigating him for sexual offences.\n\nRenshaw's terrorist plot, for which he will be sentenced on 17 May, was foiled after a whistleblower - former National Action member Robbie Mullen - warned the anti-racism charity Hope not Hate, which then informed police.\n\nLabour MP Rosie Cooper said she \"was to be murdered to send a message to the state\"\n\nMs Cooper said: \"I was targeted, not as Rosie Cooper the person, but as Rosie Cooper the MP. I was to be murdered to send a message to the state.\n\n\"Our way of life, our democracy and our freedoms are being attacked by the likes of Renshaw and extremist groups like National Action.\"\n\n\"We've got to do so much more to protect our democracy,\" she added.\n\nThe retrial jury was also unable to decide whether Andrew Clarke, 34, of Prescot, Merseyside, and Michal Trubini, 36, of Warrington, Cheshire, remained members of National Action after it was proscribed in December 2016.\n\nThe British group, founded in 2013, was banned three years later under anti-terror laws.\n\nJurors, who had deliberated for more than 48 hours, have been discharged.\n\nThe prosecution said it would not be seeking a third trial.\n\nRenshaw had set out his murder plot during a meeting in a Warrington pub on 1 July 2017.\n\nJurors heard those present included Renshaw and Clarke.

As he now owns more than half of the company's shares, this has triggered a mandatory takeover bid.\n\nHowever, the offer of just 11.445p a share is well below Monday's closing price of 18p.\n\nBonmarché said its directors were \"considering the terms\" of the offer and advised shareholders to take no action.\n\nMr Day said he would do a \"store-by-store profitability assessment\" with the aim of closing underperforming shops unless it was possible to implement \"reduced rents, staff reductions or other cost saving measures\".\n\nHe added he was \"well positioned to provide advice, guidance and support to secure the long term future of the Bonmarché business, its stores and employees\".\n\nIf the deal goes ahead, the company would become private and the shares delisted.\n\nPhilip Day started his career at clothing manufacturers Coats Viyella and Wensum\n\nThe businessman started his career at clothing manufacturers Coats Viyella and Wensum before eventually taking over Edinburgh Woollen Mill.\n\nThrough Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Mr Day has bought several clothing chains, including discount chain Peacocks and the upmarket Austin Reed and Jaeger brands.\n\nSpectre's statement said: \"The owner of Spectre, Philip Day, has a successful track record within the retail sector, especially in turnaround and distressed situations.\"\n\nMaureen Hinton, retail research director at GlobalData, said it was \"an excellent result for Bonmarché\".\n\n\"Being taken out of constant City reporting and scrutiny will allow the retailer to take a long-term view of the business and benefit from the shared assets of the Edinburgh Woollen Mills group.\"\n\nShe said that while the offer \"must be a relief for management\", the low price being offered was \"not such a relief\" for shareholders given that the shares stood at about 120p last summer.\n\nBonmarché is one of a string of well-known names suffering in a tough High Street environment.\n\nLast year, Poundworld, Toys R Us and Maplin all went bust and disappeared altogether.

Today, the prime minister made her priority leaving the EU with a deal, rather than the happy contentment of the Brexiteers in the Tory party.\n\nFor so long, Theresa May has been derided by her rivals, inside and outside, for cleaving to the idea that she can get the country and her party through this process intact.\n\nBut after her deal was defeated at the hands of Eurosceptics, in the words of one cabinet minister in the room during that marathon session today, she tried delivering Brexit with Tory votes - Tory Brexiteers said \"No\". Now she's going to try to deliver Brexit with Labour votes. In a way, it is as simple as that.\n\nThat could mean, three cabinet sources suggest, accepting many of Labour's demands for the deal - those six tests, which it has often, frankly, been assumed were designed to be impossible to meet. Irony would ring out if in the end they were all delivered because of the desperation of the Tory prime minister.\n\nOne cabinet minister told me the offer to Labour is, \"You want soft Brexit - here it is. You help shape it.\" Potentially, there are political smarts here - challenging Jeremy Corbyn to decide, finally, whether he leads a party that really is up for pushing through our departure from the EU, or a group that wants to fight it until its last breath. Either choice for him is complex given that his party is divided too.\n\nAnd ministers tonight don't hold out huge hope of a genuinely productive cross-party process. Frankly, they don't know if they can trust Mr Corbyn enough to come to a genuine agreement that Labour would stick to.\n\nOf course, for any opposition party the temptation might be always to play for political advantage. We know by now that is not necessarily exactly the same as the best interests of you and me.\n\nAnd whether it's Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn who sinks this still hypothetical process, it will be Parliament that takes the reins. That could, in turn, challenge reluctant Brexiteers to confront the reality that the prime minister's deal could be the best version of Brexit they are ever going to get - maybe, just maybe, swinging support for Theresa May's withdrawal agreement in the end. Stranger things have happened.\n\nBut the prime minister has taken a huge risk with her party, and an implosion may stop any of this process in its tracks. There's what's described as \"genuine fury\" among Brexiteer ranks and ministers that the PM has made this choice. One senior Tory said she is \"making an art form of bad misjudgements - this is not just a Rubens or a Van Gogh, it's the whole Tate Modern\".\n\nAs ever, there is a very big gamble that has just become a real risk. The prime minister can reach out for support from the other parties - and compromise to get it - and ultimately maybe get her deal through. But if and when she is able to do that, her party may be so split and so fractious that she may not be able to govern or do anything, ever again.\n\nIf she were actually to strike some form of weird pact with the Labour Party over Brexit how long could it reasonably last? And how could it function and deliver a sustainable agreement when she has already said that she is leaving and another leader will soon be along to take charge of the second phase of Brexit?\n\nPerhaps right now we can only answer one question that for so long Theresa May has avoided answering. When it came to it, would she choose party unity or leaving the EU WITH a deal?

Its accounts were found to have been overstated by £94m, according to its administrators KPMG.\n\nThe former finance director of the chain, Chris Marsh, is under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.\n\nMichael Izza, chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW),welcomed the report, saying that it made \"many sensible suggestions\" that would help achieve better choice in the market for audits.\n\nHowever, he did not agree with MPs that the Big Four accountancy firms should be broken up.\n\n\"We are concerned that some of its ideas for reducing conflicts of interest, such as the break-up of the largest multi-disciplinary firms, might prove counter-productive,\" said Mr Izza.\n\n\"This could both drive out incumbents and discourage new entrants and it would be unfortunate if an attempt to guarantee the independence of audit firms ended up undermining the resilience of the audit market.\"\n\nKPMG said it was co-operating fully with the various inquiries under way into the audit system.\n\nThe FRC said it decided to open an enquiry into KPMG following matters the firm had self-reported.\n\nThe enquiry involves an assessment of the governance, controls and culture within KPMG's audit practice, the FRC said.\n\nA KPMG spokesperson said the BEIS Committee's report showed that \"trust in audit is in urgent need of repair\", adding: \"We have been open about the need for change and we want to play a leading role in building a strong, sustainable and trusted audit sector for the future.\"\n\nDeloitte's UK managing partner for audit, Stephen Griggs, said: \"We welcome many of the [BEIS Committee] recommendations, including extending the scope of the audit and better regulation of audit, but we have concerns about a potential structural split.\n\n\"This will be detrimental to audit quality and could materially damage the UK's competitive position as a leading capital market.\"", "Zakariyya Elogbani (r), pictured with fellow former Westminster student, Ishak Mostefaoui, now also detained in Syria\n\nAn Islamic State fighter held in Syria has told the BBC he was one of at least seven students and ex-students from University of Westminster to join IS.\n\nZakariyya Elogbani abandoned a degree in business management which he was taking at the university in 2014.\n\nAnother student had been studying while on a terror protection order which was made less restrictive by a judge, a BBC investigation has found.\n\nUniversity of Westminster says it takes its safeguarding duty \"very seriously\".\n\nThis is not the first time that students at the university have been linked to violent jihadism - the notorious IS killer Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, studied there until 2009.\n\nThe BBC's investigation now exposes the secret funnelling of fighters and funds from the UK to IS in Syria.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.\n\nElogbani, who grew up in east London, was captured by Kurdish forces in Syria nine months ago.\n\nSpeaking to the BBC's Middle East Correspondent Quentin Sommerville, Elogbani said: \"Obviously we came here intending to fight. That's the honest truth. But I don't think it was a love for blood.\"\n\nHe said there was a group at University of Westminster who had already left for Syria before he even began his studies.\n\n\"They kind of opened the way,\" he added.\n\nMohammed Emwazi appeared in videos in which he killed Western hostages\n\nThat may have been a reference to Mohammed Emwazi, who studied information systems at the university and left for Syria in 2013. He became infamous after appearing in videos in which he killed Western hostages. Emwazi died in a missile strike in November 2015.\n\nElogbani denied knowing him but admitted seeing another of the British kidnap gang, known as The Beatles, in Syria.\n\nAnother former University of Westminster student who went to Syria was Akram Sabah, a recruitment consultant who left the university in 2011 with a degree in biomedical sciences.\n\nHe and his older brother Mohammed were killed in fighting in September 2013.\n\nAkram Sabah (r), pictured with his brother Mohammed, finished his Westminster University degree in 2011\n\nThe BBC investigation reveals that Elogbani travelled with fellow Westminster student Ishak Mostefaoui.\n\nHis Algerian family had settled in London when Mostefaoui was five. He was a popular, football-loving boy, brought up in a home that was opposed to extremism but his father, Abderrahmane, told the BBC that his son changed in 2013.\n\nHe believes his son was radicalised by people at University of Westminster.\n\nIn April 2014 Mostefaoui told his father that he was going to Amsterdam for a few days, leaving with just a small bag. The family did not hear from him for a month when he called to say he was in Syria. His father says he collapsed when he heard the news.\n\nAround five months ago, Mostefaoui had his British citizenship revoked. Two months later he was badly injured when his house was bombed in an attack in which his wife and young son were killed. He is currently in detention.\n\nElogbani says another three fellow students left around the same time as him and have since been killed.\n\nHe claims one, Ibrahim, was killed in the siege of Raqqa, while Abu Talha \"died in the desert of Anbar\" and Abu Ubaydah was killed in Tikrit, Iraq.\n\nThe BBC has not been able to establish all of their identities but one of them was Qasim Abukar, a hardened jihadist who previously fought with a militant group in Somalia.\n\nAbukar became a student at University of Westminster in September 2012.\n\nHe played a key role in radicalising Elogbani, according to friends who have spoken to the BBC but do not wish to be identified.\n\nAbukar had been known to security services for years.\n\nMI5 had warned that allowing Qasim Abukar more contact with fellow students would increase the risk he posed\n\nHe absconded from Britain to Somalia during a trial in 2009, in which he was accused of attempting to travel to Afghanistan for terrorism. He was acquitted in his absence.\n\nA separate High Court appeal heard that in Somalia, Abukar was \"involved in fighting\" alongside the militant group al-Shabaab and tried to recruit fighters in the UK for overseas operations. The court was told he was \"potentially involved in attack planning\" against Western interests.\n\nIn 2011, after a period in custody in Somalia, he returned to the UK claiming he had been mistreated with the knowledge of the British state.\n\nHe was placed on a control order and a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure, or TPIM, to restrict his movements.\n\nTPIMs can be imposed on terror suspects, who officials decide can neither be charged nor deported, but who are nevertheless assessed to be potentially involved in terrorist-related activities.\n\nDespite being described in court as having played a \"substantial role\" in his extremist network, Abukar began studying at University of Westminster a year later.\n\nBecause he had \"a track record of absconding\", he had to report daily to a local police station and wear an electronic tag.\n\nBut in April 2013 he won an appeal to reduce one of the restrictions on his movements when a High Court judge permitted him to interact more with fellow students, despite warnings from MI5 that it would mean \"the risk of him engaging in terrorism-related activity\".\n\nThis was in the period during which people close to Elogbani and Mostefaoui noticed their views were becoming extreme.\n\nThey have told the BBC that Abukar was one of the people involved in radicalising them.\n\nAnother key extremist at University of Westminster was Abukar's brother Makhzumi.\n\nHe is serving a seven-year jail term after pleading guilty in 2016 to a million-pound fraud to steal the savings of pensioners.\n\nThe scheme was uncovered by Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command, who suspected the money was being funnelled to extremists in Syria.\n\nCourt documents, seen by the BBC, reveal that when his home was searched in July 2014, only weeks after Elogbani and Mostefaoui had left the UK, notes found in his jacket recorded a series of financial transfers to a town on the Turkish/Syrian border known as ISIS International, because of its popularity as a handover point for foreign jihadists.\n\nMakhzumi Abukar was jailed for seven years after pleading guilty in 2016 to a million-pound fraud\n\nBBC News has learned of another student, Mohamed Jakir, who was killed in Syria.\n\nHe was reportedly studying law at Westminster University but BBC News has not been able to confirm that.\n\nIf true, it would take the overall number of fighters from the university to at least eight.\n\nJakir was killed in 2014, seven weeks after crossing into Syria.\n\nA University of Westminster spokesperson told the BBC that the university \"has a strong pastoral and interfaith focus providing care and support to its community of 20,000 students from more than 150 countries\".\n\nIn 2015 it commissioned an independent report after details emerged that Emwazi had been a student there.\n\nFiyaz Mughal, one of the authors of that report, told the BBC: \"The university failed to understand its duty of care around confronting and countering extremist views.\n\n\"But more importantly it didn't even understand its duty of care and didn't understand the concept of things like Islamism and extremism.\"\n\nMughal was concerned that the Islamic Society at the university, in which Elogbani was active, was \"allowed to run its own fiefdom\" where women and LGBT students were treated with hostility.\n\nThe BBC has spoken to former members of the university's Islamic Society, who deny that there was a culture of extremism.\n\nUniversity of Westminster says it has a strong pastoral and interfaith ethos\n\nMeanwhile Elogbani, stripped of his British citizenship, waits to find out his fate.\n\nHe cuts a forlorn figure in detention in Syria, having lost his legs in what he says was a missile attack in 2015.\n\nHis is a cautionary tale of the price paid for supporting Islamic State.\n\n\"I committed a crime by coming here,\" he said. \"I guess I need to be punished.\"\n\nHe had a warning for other people, who, like him, may be attracted to extremism.\n\n\"Anyone that's still immersed by Islamic State methodology is wrong.\n\n\"It's a gang. A lot of people are tricked.

Tearing, cutting, gluing or poking holes would be cheating.\n\nOne celebrated example is a coffee mug and a doughnut.\n\nIn topological terms, they are the same. That's because each is a lump of stuff with a single hole in it. In theory you could even squish the mug into the shape of a doughnut if you fancied (provided you didn't mind how it tasted).\n\n\"We discovered that only the topology of black holes matters when it comes to determining Hawking radiation,\" says Dr Biancalana.\n\n\"Not the size, not the electric charge, the spacetime in which they are embedded, or how they spin around their axis.\n\n\"Black holes can be physically very different, but if they have the same topology they will emit the same amount of Hawking radiation.\"\n\nIn effect the new formula counts the holes of a black hole and the spacetime that surrounds it (yes, even black holes have holes in them).\n\nThis information is enough to determine the temperature.\n\n\"For years scientists have been theorising about four dimensions and whether space has more dimensions we are still ignorant of, and now we know only two dimensions really matter in the description of all these astronomical monsters.\"\n\nWhich leads us to the banks of the Union Canal, not too far from the Heriot-Watt campus on the outskirts of Edinburgh.\n\nIt was there that the Scottish engineer John Scott Russell first described what he called a \"wave of translation\" - a solitary wave that kept its shape while travelling at a constant speed.\n\nHe hoped his work would lead to a better canal barge. These days - now called solitons - these waves are important in laser physics and fibre optics.\n\nThe Heriot-Watt team realised that, as solitons and black holes shared identical mathematical properties, Hawking radiation would follow the same rules.\n\nDr Biancalana says it takes us a step closer to understanding how the universe works.\n\n\"This must mean something fundamental about space and time,\" he says.\n\n\"Now we just need to find out what.\"", "Mick Jagger said he was \"devastated\" to be postponing the US tour\n\nThe Rolling Stones' US tour is likely to take place in July, following news that Mick Jagger had to postpone 17 dates due to ill health.\n\nThe band are working with promoters to reschedule the shows, amid reports that Jagger will have heart surgery later this week.\n\n\"I really hate letting you down like this,\" tweeted the star after the tour was postponed at the weekend.\n\n\"I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can.\"\n\nThis Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

Police appealed for witnesses and said no arrests had yet been made.\n\nA post-mortem examination has not yet taken place.\n\nClaude Mampuila, 54, who said he was the victim's uncle, said the family had \"lost someone special\".\n\nHe said: \"The family came here from the Congo for protection - there was a war there - and now this has happened in London.\n\n\"We were thinking if you come to this country you are protected, but it is not safe at all.\"\n\nFive men were allegedly seen running away from the scene\n\nA neighbour said he put the victim into the recovery position, adding that he saw five boys fleeing the scene.\n\nThe man, who did not want to be named, said the victim's mother was at the scene following the attack.\n\nA woman, who would not give her name but said she was the victim's cousin, told the Press Association the man \"had a good home, a good girlfriend and he had things going for him\".\n\n\"He was not the sort of boy to get into trouble.

The AP told the BBC it was in \"ongoing conversations\" about work in future.\n\nFacebook said it was committed to fighting fake news.\n\nThe company said it would expand its efforts in 2019.\n\n\"Fighting misinformation takes a multi-pronged approach from across the industry,\" a Facebook spokeswoman told the BBC.\n\n\"We are committed to fighting this through many tactics, and the work that third-party fact-checkers do is a valued and important piece of this effort.\n\n\"We have strong relationships with 34 fact-checking partners around the world who fact-check content in 16 languages, and we plan to expand the programme this year by adding new partners and languages.\"\n\nA spokeswoman for the AP told the BBC: \"AP constantly evaluates how to best deploy its fact-checking resources, and that includes ongoing conversations with Facebook about opportunities to do important fact-checking work on its platform.\"\n\nSnopes said it needed to \"determine with certainty that our efforts to aid any particular platform are a net positive for our online community, publication and staff”.\n\nThe site's founder David Mikkelson, and head of operations Vinny Green, said in a blog post that the firm did not rule out working with Facebook in future.\n\n\"We hope to keep an open dialogue going with Facebook to discuss approaches to combating misinformation that are beneficial to platforms, fact-checking organisations and the user community alike,\" the company said.\n\nThe blog post acknowledged that choosing not to renew its work with Facebook would have financial repercussions for the company.\n\nIn 2017, Facebook paid Snopes $100,000 (£76,500) for its work. Snopes has not yet released its financial disclosures for 2018.\n\n\"Forgoing an economic opportunity is not a decision that we or any other journalistic enterprise can take lightly in the current publishing landscape,\" the company said.\n\nLate last year, the Guardian published a report that suggested fact-checking firms were frustrated by Facebook’s lack of transparency.\n\nThe article quoted former Snopes managing editor Brooke Binkowski as saying: “They’ve essentially used us for crisis PR. They’re not taking anything seriously. They are more interested in making themselves look good and passing the buck… They clearly don’t care.”\n\nIn a blog post, Facebook disputed the Guardian's report, saying it had \"several inaccuracies\".\n\nSpeaking about the news Snopes and the AP had pulled out, Ms Binkowski said she felt Facebook was too controlling over the fact-checking companies.\n\n\"Facebook can't handle any kind of pushback, any kind of public criticism,\" she told the BBC, adding that she felt the fact-checking programme at Facebook had been \"mishandled\".\n\nFacebook has worked with two other fact-checking agencies in the US.

Up until that point my pregnancy had been amazing. Everything had been going really well,\" she said.\n\n\"It was during a routine check-up that they noticed my blood pressure was far too high and they admitted me because they were concerned that it might be pre-eclampsia.\n\n\"I went from feeling like a mum to a patient. I was really terrified because I did not know if I would be OK and whether I might lose my baby.\"\n\nDoctors closely monitored Sarah's condition and she went on to have a healthy baby girl, Isla, who is now four.\n\nShe welcomes any test that can help predict and reassure pregnant women about their risk of pre-eclampsia.\n\nTrials of the new PLGF (placental growth factor) blood test, which costs about £70, show it speeds up diagnosis, meaning life-threatening complications to the mother and baby can be avoided.\n\nMore than 1,000 women at 11 UK maternity units took part in the trials during their second and third trimesters.\n\nUsing PLGF alongside regular blood pressure and urine checks cut the average time to diagnosis from four days to around two.\n\nEarlier diagnosis was linked with a lower chance of serious complications - 5.3% (24 of 447 women diagnosed with usual checks) versus 3.8% (22 of 573 women diagnosed with usual checks plus PLGF).\n\nLead researcher Prof Lucy Chappell, from King's College London, said: \"This really is going to make a difference to women. The challenge for doctors is spotting which pregnancies are high risk and need closer monitoring. PLGF helps us reach that diagnosis earlier.\"\n\nProf Tony Young, from NHS England, said: \"The NHS, with partners in government, will be making this test more widely available across the NHS as part of our plans to ensure as many patients as possible can benefit from world-class health innovations.\"\n\nThe NHS in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland could choose to offer the test too.\n• None Test could indicate risk of miscarriage", "Superdry executives, including the chairman and chief executive, have resigned after founder Julian Dunkerton won his bid to be reinstated to the board of the company he founded.\n\nIn a narrow victory on Tuesday, Mr Dunkerton won the support of 51.15% of shareholders who voted.\n\nAfter an emergency board meeting eight directors resigned en masse.\n\nMr Dunkerton, who left the chain a year ago, has been appointed interim chief executive.\n\nHe has blamed management for flagging sales and profits and has promised to revive the firm's performance.\n\nSuperdry's board had threatened to resign if Mr Dunkerton won the vote.\n\nThe chain's chairman, Peter Bamford, chief executive Euan Sutherland, chief financial officer Ed Barker, and remuneration committee chair Penny Hughes, resigned from the board \"and will stand down with immediate effect\" the firm said in a statement to the markets.\n\nDennis Millard, Minnow Powell, Sarah Wood and John Smith have given three months notice and will stand down as directors on 1 July.\n\nUBS and Investec also resigned as Superdry financial advisers on Tuesday.\n\nPeter Williams has been appointed as board chairman.\n\nMr Bamford had earlier said the board would hold an emergency meeting this afternoon.\n\n\"Whilst the board was unanimous in its view that the resolutions should be rejected and 74% of shareholders other than Julian and James have voted against, there was a narrow overall majority in favour and we accept that outcome,\" he added.\n\nMr Dunkerton had said he was \"delighted\" by the outcome of the vote.\n\n\"We have a wonderful opportunity to take this brand and this business to the next, exciting phase of its growth and development.\n\n\"I can't wait to get started and to work with the directors, the talented staff and our partners to deliver the future of Superdry. The hard work starts now.\"\n\nThe fashion chain had urged investors to reject Mr Dunkerton's return, saying it would be \"extremely damaging\".\n\nIn a separate motion proposed by Mr Dunkerton, votes ahead of the meeting suggested a majority of shareholders (51.15%) were also in favour of the appointment of Peter Williams, chairman of online retailer Boohoo, as a non-executive director.\n\nThe vote comes amid a long-running dispute over the clothing brand's strategy.\n\nMr Dunkerton - who owns 18% of the company - was chief executive until 2014, when former Co-op chief executive Euan Sutherland took over the role. However, Mr Dunkerton remained at the company as creative director until he left a year ago.\n\nFormer Superdry chief executive Euan Sutherland took the helm in 2014\n\nSince Mr Dunkerton's departure Superdry's shares have plunged by 65%, and he and Mr Sutherland argued over who is responsible for the brand's decline.\n\nThe management had planned to branch out into childrenswear and was also trying to broaden its range away from the firm's roots of branded hoodies, jackets and T-shirts.\n\nIn contrast, Mr Dunkerton had argued the brand should continue to focus on products that made it famous. He said venturing into childrenswear was a mistake, saying a 16-year-old \"quite categorically\" will not want to wear the same brand as their five-year-old brother.\n\n\"Next steps will likely see the kidswear launch scrapped and a step up in new product innovation. We sense there will be some upfront costs and disruption before Julian's recovery plan starts to take shape,\" analysts at Peel Hunt said.\n\nTwo big institutional shareholders - Investec and Schroders, which together control about 10% of the shares - backed Mr Dunkerton's return.\n\nBut the company's second largest shareholder, Aberdeen Asset Management, sided with Superdry management, and influential investor advisory firms PIRC and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) had both recommended that shareholders should reject Mr Dunkerton's re-election.", "Social media platforms have steadily restricted how Mr Robinson can use them\n\nYouTube has placed more restrictions around the video channel of English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.\n\nClips uploaded by Mr Robinson have been removed from search results and he is blocked from streaming live events via the site.\n\nMessages warning that his videos may not be appropriate for all viewers will also play before clips.\n\nYouTube had already, in January, decided to suspend adverts on Mr Robinson's channel.\n\nIt had imposed the further restrictions after talking to external experts and academic researchers about the types of videos shown on the channel, reported Buzzfeed.\n\n\"We are applying a tougher treatment to Tommy Robinson's channel in keeping with our policies on borderline content,\" it told the news site.\n\nBuzzfeed said the steps taken by YouTube would make Mr Robinson's videos \"undiscoverable\" unless followers sought them out specifically.\n\nThe latest action comes after politicians called on YouTube to follow other social media companies in limiting the exposure Mr Robinson enjoyed on their platforms.\n\nMr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has also had pages on Facebook and Instagram removed.\n\nLast year, he was banned from Twitter and Paypal ceased processing payments on his behalf.\n\nAnd he is now thought to rely on email and Snapchat to correspond with followers.", "A 24-hour strike has been called at Glasgow Airport from 04:00 on 16 April\n\nStaff at Glasgow Airport have announced a 24-hour strike on 16 April.\n\nUnite members at the airport were balloted on strike action in a row over pay and pensions and 95% voted for industrial action.\n\nThe union said almost 500 workers at the airport will take part in the strike between 04:00 on 16 of April and 04:00 the following day.\n\nAirport management say they will take steps to prevent any disruption to services.\n\nThe dispute involves administrative and security staff - and won't affect check in desks, baggage handling or air traffic control.\n\nUnite also said its members were set to enforce an overtime ban between mid-April and mid-October.\n\nGlasgow Airport said its pay offer was fair and reasonable and that contingency plans were being put in place to avoid any disruption.\n\nThe vote came after management made an annual pay offer of 1.8% and announced plans to close the final salary pension scheme.\n\nUnite claims the pay offer represents a real terms pay cut and the pension plan breaks a 2016 Acas agreement to keep the scheme open to existing members.\n\nThe pension proposal has been made to staff at Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton airports, which are all part of AGS Airports Limited group.\n\nThe results of the Aberdeen Airport staff ballot are expected within the next two weeks.\n\nPat McIlvogue, Unite regional industrial officer, said: \"The overwhelming support for industrial action on a very high turnout shows the strength of feeling by hundreds of Unite members at Glasgow Airport.\n\n\"The workforce has been treated with disregard, contempt and disrespect.

Jen and Andrew Bickel, of Cardiff, suffered 10 miscarriages before having a baby.\n\nTwo years ago, the BBC told the story of how Jen Bickel and her husband Andrew had spent a decade trying for a baby, instead enduring 10 miscarriages. Then, just when it seemed all hope was lost, their fortunes changed, as Jen, from Cardiff, explains.\n\nThere have been so many low points in my journey to becoming a mother, it's tricky to pick out the lowest.\n\nPerhaps it was after I had both my fallopian tubes removed, scuppering my chances of ever conceiving naturally.\n\nI didn't want to get out of bed. I didn't want to go to work or see people. I felt like I had crashed and burned, and it was only the support of my husband Andrew and wider family that got me through.\n\nThis was in April 2017, a decade after we first began trying.\n\nOf course, as newlyweds, we never dreamed that having a baby would prove so testing. Back then, we were both fit and healthy 29-year-olds.\n\nIt was 2007, and at first, I fell pregnant quite quickly, miscarrying at six weeks before I actually even knew I was pregnant.\n\nI was upset but not too devastated; we had time on our sides after all. But it was 18 months before I fell pregnant again, and this time I miscarried at 11 weeks.\n\nUnsurprisingly, Andrew and I were devastated, especially when I was kept in hospital for medical management of the foetus, which involved hours of bleeding and pain.\n\nJen and Andrew, both 40, met at high school\n\nBut worse, was the effect of this second miscarriage upon our mental health.\n\nMany of our friends were starting families, and although we were happy for them, it made our losses all the more acute. Personally, I couldn't help but blame myself. Why was my body failing me? What had I done?\n\nIn April 2009, I miscarried again after an early scan showed my baby had no heartbeat.\n\nThen, in 2010, we decided to embark on IVF, hoping this would solve the problem, particularly as tests showed there was nothing specifically wrong with us.\n\nLittle did we know how hard this process would be.\n\nIn the first round, we created 10 embryos, yet none of them resulted in pregnancy. A few months later, we tried again, this time receiving a positive pregnancy test - but again a foetus with no heartbeat.\n\nOn this occasion, I came home and waited for the embryo to come away naturally, but it was no less painful or upsetting than being in hospital.\n\nBy this stage, we were desperate. Unsure of how to proceed, we paid out £2,000 for private tests, had acupuncture and bought supplements - yet nothing helped.\n\nStill, we could not give up, so we had no option but to steel our nerves and keep trying.\n\nIn 2014, we had two embryos implanted at a private clinic, but, in the October, while out for my birthday, I felt a terrible pain in my side, which turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy.\n\nThis was the end of the road of IVF. We had no frozen embryos left, and no more money for treatment.\n\nAmazingly, we were then thrown a lifeline when the IVF clinic gave us a free round, after nurses voted us the most deserving couple.\n\nThe couple found it difficult when their friends started having children\n\nWe implanted two embryos which failed, but froze a further three.\n\nI then suffered two further ectopic pregnancies, resulting in both my fallopian tubes being removed.\n\nI was heartbroken, knowing I would never conceive naturally. In total, over the past decade, I had fallen pregnant 10 times - six times naturally and four times through IVF - and we couldn't take anymore.\n\nAll we had were the frozen embryos - our last hope - and we were keeping everything crossed.\n\nIt took months before the lining of my womb was considered thick enough to try. But once it was, we implanted one embryo, and after another agonising two-week wait, received a positive pregnancy test.\n\nWe couldn't get our hopes up and during the scan, I lay on the bed holding Andrew's hand, filled with dread.\n\nBut there was something different this time - a tiny heartbeat, something we had never seen before. We were ecstatic.\n\nStill, though, even when I went through morning sickness and learnt we were having a boy, Andrew found it hard to believe.\n\nHe was incredibly supportive, but he refused to shop for baby things or decorate the nursery until the very last weeks before my due date.\n\nDue to my age - I was 40 - I was induced to make sure that the placenta didn't begin to fail.\n\nBut, after hours of contractions, doctors realised the baby's heartbeat was dropping as the cord was wrapped around his neck.\n\nEveryone knew how high the stakes were - this could not go wrong - so I had a Caesarean, and in the early hours of 9 February, our miracle baby arrived weighing 6lb 8oz.\n\nBobi William Bickel is now six weeks old, and I do not care if he cries all day or wants to feed all night; I have everything I ever wanted.\n\nLooking back, we still can't believe how lucky we are or why things finally worked. Was it because my tubes were removed? Was it down to the bit of weight I lost?\n\nEither way, we simply want to share our story as so many other couples are going through similar heartbreak.\n\nStruggling to conceive is incredibly hard - physically, mentally and emotionally.\n\nAndrew and I were always each other's rock, but we would advise people to seek support.\n\nAs for us, we still have two embryos in the freezer and I'm sure at some point we will try and implant them.\n\nIf they work, so be it. If not, we have our beautiful boy, and after more than a decade of heartbreak, we could not be more grateful.\n\nHelp and advice: If you or someone you know has been affected by issues with pregnancy, try BBC Action Line for support", "Owner John Brandler said the new museum will bring thousands of visitors to the town\n\nA Banksy artwork which appeared on a garage in Port Talbot will be part of an international street art museum in the town, the work's owner has said.\n\nJohn Brandler, who purchased Season's Greetings for a \"six-figure sum\" in January, will display the work in a new gallery in the centre of the town.\n\nHe said the facility, which will feature work from around the world, will open later this year.\n\nMr Brandler said the museum, called SAM (Street Art Museum), will be just the sixth of its kind in the world and the first in the UK.\n\nIt will be located at a recently renovated building in Ty'r Orsaf, opposite Port Talbot Parkway railway station.\n\nThe graffiti artwork appeared on Ian Lewis's garage in December\n\nHe said: \"It's going to be an international museum of street art. I'm talking to a couple of other artists who are among the same level as Banksy.\n\n\"The aim is to get people off the motorway and into the town, spending money.\"\n\nHe estimates 100,000 to 150,000 people will visit the museum every year.\n\nThe museum will feature Season's Greetings and other works by Banksy, as well as pieces from Swansea-based street artist Pure Evil and French graffiti artist Blek le Rat.\n\nMr Brandler said the work will remain in the town for at least three years and the museum will be free to local people and under-16s, but tourists will pay to see the collection.\n\n\"Banksy gave this piece to Port Talbot so people who live here don't have to pay to go to see it,\" he said.\n\n\"The idea is that tourists pay and then the money will be split between the museum, council and local charities.\"\n\nFormer steelworker Ian Lewis found the artwork on his garage in December\n\nHe added the piece would \"not have stood the passage of time\" if it had remained in its original location - on steelworker Ian Lewis's garage in the Taibach area of the town.\n\nThe move was confirmed in a letter from Lord Elis-Thomas to Bethan Sayed AM on Tuesday, saying the move to the town centre was the \"preferred option\" of the Welsh Government.\n\nHe estimated it will take about five weeks for the work to be cut out of the garage and taken its new home in the town centre.\n\nNeath Port Talbot council said it was pleased to see the Welsh Government taking a lead on the project, adding it would help secure the artwork's future for three years.\n\n\"The new proposals have a huge potential to help deliver on the economic regeneration and tourism ambitions of everyone involved,\" the council said in a statement.\n\n\"However, no final decisions have yet been made and any progress will be largely dependent on further investment and support from the Welsh Government.\"\n\nAs many as 20,000 people visited the work on Mr Lewis's garage after it was painted in December, before it was bought by Mr Brandler a month later.", "Former Barclays traders Carlo Palombo and Colin Bermingham have been convicted of Euribor rate-rigging\n\nTwo traders have been jailed after being convicted of conspiring to rig the Euribor global interest rate.\n\nColin Bermingham, 62, and Carlo Palombo, 40, both former Barclays traders, were convicted of conspiracy to defraud.\n\nMr Bermingham received a five year jail term, while Mr Palombo was jailed for four years.\n\nAnother trader, Sisse Bohart, has been acquitted.\n\nThe sentences bring to an end the biggest trial so far for rigging interest rates - in this case the Euribor benchmark used to fix the interest rates of millions of euro-denominated loans.\n\nLisa Osofsky, director of the Serious Fraud Office, said: \"These men deliberately undermined the integrity of the financial system to line their pockets and advance the interests of their employers.\n\n\"We are committed to tracking down and bringing to justice those who defraud others and abuse the system.\"\n\nEuribor is a key euro benchmark borrowing rate, underpinning about $180tn of financial products, and the accuracy of the rate is important to maintaining trust in the financial system.\n\nEvery day, one trader at each bank would estimate the interest rate he or she thought the bank would have to pay to borrow cash from other banks, based on the rates banks were paying that morning.\n\nThe estimates would be submitted to the European Banking Federation (EBF), based on current market transactions. Those submissions would then be averaged and a rate would be published.\n\nIn the 1990s and 2000s, traders routinely requested that the submissions be tweaked up or down by tiny amounts to suit their banks' commercial interests. Banks typically had trading positions or investments that would benefit from higher or lower submissions.\n\nThe traders' defence has been that this was normal commercial practice. The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) says it is corrupt.\n\nDuring the sentencing hearing, Judge Michael Gledhill echoed controversial remarks by Mr Justice Cooke, who presided over the first interest rate rigging trial in 2015 of former UBS trader Tom Hayes, saying he wanted \"a message sent out to the world of banking\".\n\n\"Those convicted of manipulating interest rates will face substantial custodial sentences,\" he said.\n\nMr Hayes was sentenced to 14 years in prison, which was reduced on appeal to 11 and a half years.\n\nJudge Gledhill said it was difficult to understand why Mr Bermingham had become involved in conspiracy, because there was no personal gain to him from accepting requests from traders to put in higher or lower submissions.\n\nBut, he added: \"Part of the answer lies in a desire to help Barclays prosper, and perhaps it is something to do with the desire to be respected by others. Whatever the reasons, you have been convicted of being knowingly and dishonestly involved in this conspiracy.\"\n\nMr Bermingham, Mr Palombo and Ms Bohart were tried a second time by the SFO, after a jury failed to reach a majority verdict in an earlier trial in 2017.\n\nAhead of that trial, Christian Bittar, a former Deutsche Bank trader, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud.\n\nAnother former Barclays trader, Philippe Moryoussef, attended earlier hearings but decided not to attend the trial, with his lawyer saying he could not be confident of a fair trial.\n\nFormer Barclays trader Philippe Moryoussef, centre, was sentenced to eight years in jail in absentia\n\nHe was convicted in his absence and is now a fugitive from British justice.\n\nBoth Mr Palombo and Mr Bermingham were convicted by majority verdicts, with two jurors against a guilty verdict in both cases.\n\nCarlo Palombo's lawyer John Hartley said Mr Palombo and his family were devastated by the outcome.\n\n\"Mr Palombo started at Barclays as a junior trader and was taught by his management from an early stage about making requests of the submission desk,\" said Mr Hartley in a statement.\n\n\"He gave evidence during the trial that this was an ordinary course of business at the bank and there was never an issue of any of his actions being dishonest at that time and that he had received no training on Euribor submissions. No senior members of management were on trial.\"\n\nIn a BBC Panorama programme \"The Big Bank Fix\" in 2017, the BBC revealed a secret recording which implicated the Bank of England in a practice called \"lowballing\".\n\nLowballing occurred during the 2008 financial crisis, when banks artificially lowered their estimates for Libor (the London Interbank Offered Rate) - the dollar and sterling equivalent of Euribor.\n\nIn a statement to the BBC, the Bank of England said Libor was unregulated at the time.\n\nAt the 2016 trials, the SFO said it was investigating lowballing. However, after years of investigation, no prosecution has been mounted.\n\nMr Hayes's case is now with the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) amid growing doubts about the safety of his conviction. The evidence against him also consisted of \"trader requests\" to put in higher or lower libor submissions.\n\nFormer UBS trader Tom Hayes was jailed in 2015 for allegely rigging Libor\n\nHis defence in 2015 was that there were a range of potential submissions, based on the slightly differing interest rates banks were paying to borrow money on any given morning.\n\nRequests to raise or lower it within that range were legitimate, his lawyers argued. Prosecutors dismissed the notion of a range.\n\nHowever, in 2017, at the trial of Barclays traders for rigging rates, John Ewan, the former Libor manager at the British Bankers Association, agreed requests for higher or lower submissions within a range could be acceptable. The two defendants in that trial, Ryan Reich and Stelios Contogoulas, were acquitted.\n\nThe trial of Palombo and Bermingham heard similar evidence from Helmut Konrad, a retired banker who helped set up Euribor in 1999, who told the court in 2018 it was \"okay\" for banks to submit a rate from a number of options that were equally good, even if one rate would be more profitable for the bank.\n\nAt this year's trial, he told the court \"as long as we're talking about the range of permissible rates, it's fine\".\n\nMr Hartley said Mr Palombo was considering an appeal.", "It is one of the world's greatest financial scandals.\n\nBillions of dollars from a state fund meant to help the Malaysian people went missing, disappearing into the shadows of the global financial system.\n\nAccording to US and Malaysian prosecutors, the money lined the pockets of a few powerful individuals and was used to buy luxury real estate, a private jet, Van Gogh and Monet artworks - and to finance a Hollywood blockbuster.\n\nOutcry over the alleged looting of 1MDB has reverberated around the world, with authorities in at least six countries probing a vast web of financial transactions stretching from Swiss banks to island tax havens to the heart of South East Asia.\n\nThe scandal even led to the toppling of the political party that governed Malaysia for all of its history as an independent nation.\n\nGoldman Sachs, one of Wall Street's most powerful banks, is facing criminal charges in Malaysia - which it says it intends to vigorously defend. Meanwhile a fugitive playboy charged in the US and Malaysia remains on the run - his infamous $250m luxury super yacht now in the hands of authorities.\n\nAll eyes are now on the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, where former prime minister and ex-chairman of 1MDB's advisory board Najib Razak is on trial in the first of several cases against him.\n\nThe cast of characters around the 1MDB scandal paints a picture of a truly global saga - from the journalists who doggedly followed the money to the international elite alleged to have profited.\n\nAt the centre of this story is Malaysia's former prime minister: the once untouchable man who set up a \"bold and daring\" sovereign fund in 2009 to propel his nation's economic development - only to see it bring him and his political dynasty down in disgrace nine years later.\n\nTo truly understand Najib Razak is to examine his roots. The eldest son of Malaysia's second prime minister, Abdul Razak, and also the nephew to its third, he descends from political aristocracy. When he finally became prime minister in 2009 - as the head of the party which dominated Malaysian politics for half a century - it seemed he was finally taking a pre-ordained role.\n\nAn Anglophile, Mr Najib completed his secondary school education at the UK's Malvern College, a prestigious private school, before studying industrial economics at the University of Nottingham.\n\nThat background and his rhetoric about the importance of \"moderate\" Islam made him a natural fit with Western contemporaries including David Cameron and Barack Obama.\n\nOnce upon a time, Mr Najib and Barack Obama were golfing buddies\n\nBut there were clouds above him from the very beginning of his premiership. Questions over a French submarine deal made in 2002 when he was defence minister dogged the new PM. It was alleged that some $130m in kickbacks had been paid as part of the $1.2bn deal - which Mr Najib has always denied.\n\nThe grisly murder of a Mongolian model who served as an interpreter for the submarine deal raised further questions. A French investigation continues while the new Malaysian government recently re-opened its probe. Mr Najib insists he never met the woman.\n\nDavid Cameron and Najib Razak at 10 Downing Street (Note: Both men are no longer in power)\n\nNajib Razak established 1MDB in 2009 as a way to manage resource-rich Malaysia's wealth with strategic investments. Major red flags were raised in 2015 when it missed payments due for some of the $11bn (£8.3bn) it owed to banks and bondholders - although investigators and journalists had long been on the case.\n\nIn July 2016 the US Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit alleging that more than $3.5bn had been plundered. (It later upped the figure to more than $4.5bn.)\n\n\"A number of corrupt officials,\" said then-US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, \"treated this public trust as a personal bank account\".\n\nThe lawsuit named alleged perpetrators but left a \"Malaysian Official 1\" unnamed. MO1, later confirmed to be Najib Razak by his own government, was alleged by US prosecutors to have received $681m in stolen funds but to have returned most of it.\n\nHe was cleared of all wrongdoing by Malaysian authorities while he was in office but after his party's shock defeat at last year's general elections, the tide has dramatically shifted.\n\nSeveral of his apartments were raided and police seized a trove of luxury goods and $28.6m (£21.3m) in cash. There are currently 42 charges levelled against him for alleged corruption, money laundering and abuse of power. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintained his innocence - including through a soul ballad performed by him and a choir.\n\nThe spending habits of Najib Razak's wife have been compared to those of Imelda Marcos and Marie Antoinette. Since her husband lost power, Rosmah Mansor, 67, has been formally charged with money-laundering and tax evasion, to which she has pleaded not guilty.\n\nMs Rosmah's expensive tastes have been widely mocked in Malaysia, where she is harshly criticised for being out of touch with ordinary people who struggle to make ends meet. In 2018, very public police raids on properties linked to her and her husband lit up social media as images of supermarket trolleys packed with more than 500 luxury handbags, hundreds of watches, and 12,000 items of jewellery said to be worth up to $273m confirmed Malaysians' suspicions that their first family had been living wildly extravagant lives.\n\nWith Rosmah Mansor's larger than life persona and much noted penchant for Hermes Birkin bags, her court appearances are highly scrutinised.\n\n\"She isn't rude but she also isn't particularly friendly or bubbly. In person, she comes across as being imperious,\" says Reuters news agency's Malaysia correspondent Rozanna Latiff. \"On days Rosmah Mansor is called in for questioning, there is a lot of interest in her outfits and bags.\"\n\nIt's a political comeback story like no other: at 93, Mahathir Mohamad, the man who dominated Malaysian politics as prime minister in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, is back in form and leading Malaysia.\n\nHis return to the political fray was motivated by one clear desire - to unseat Najib Razak, his former protégé.\n\n\"I apologise to everyone, that I am the one who elevated him, the biggest mistake in my life. I want to correct that mistake,\" Mr Mahathir said on the campaign trail in early May 2018 after defecting to the opposition to take on Mr Najib.\n\nA few days later he shocked the world by defeating his former party, which had run Malaysia for more than half a century.\n\nMr Mahathir's return has resonated well with Malaysians, many of whom champion their new government's efforts in bringing those who allegedly looted 1MDB to justice. But political observers note that the elderly statesman not only paved Mr Najib's path to power but also stood accused of authoritarianism during his own long tenure at the top.\n\nA Chinese-Malaysian financier from the bustling island of Penang, Low Taek Jho - more famously known as Jho Low - is portrayed by Malaysian and US investigators as one of the masterminds of the 1MDB scam.\n\nDespite never holding a formal position with the fund, he is alleged to have played a crucial role in its activities. And it was his savvy networking and shrewd business sense that allowed him to thrive, say journalists Bradley Hope and Tom Wright in their 2018 best-seller Billion Dollar Whale, which recounts Jho Low's alleged exploits.\n\n\"Jho Low is the most interesting person in the 1MDB affair, a mysterious master of ceremonies,\" Hope told the BBC. \"It became clear very early on he was the connecting point between everyone involved in the 1MDB fund - and the only one with a 360-degree view of the multi-billion dollar scheme.\"\n\nUS prosecutors say Mr Low leveraged his powerful political connections to win business for 1MDB through the payment of hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes. Billions, they say, were laundered through the US financial system and used to buy some of the world's most expensive real estate, coveted artwork, and finance Hollywood films.\n\nThis was a man known for mixing business with a great deal of pleasure. Lavish parties and high-profile friendships with Arab royalty and A-list celebrities fuelled his quick rise to the top. Britney Spears even popped out of his birthday cake at a 2012 Vegas bash.\n\nThe reporters speculate in their book that at one point, Jho Low may have had access to more liquid cash than almost anyone else on earth.\n\nBut the fall of Najib Razak's government proved to be bad news for Mr Low. Criminal charges were filed and he is now wanted in several countries. His current whereabouts are unknown but he maintains his innocence through statements on his official website. His lawyers say he cannot get a fair trial in Malaysia.\n\n\"Jho Low is driven but he is also both meticulous and terribly sloppy. He was frantically building an empire with money that wasn't his and in the end, his whole scheme became desperate and unsustainable,\" Hope said.\n\nThis slick German banker represented one of the world's most powerful financial institutions, Goldman Sachs, at a time that the bank was charging into Asia.\n\nIn the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, Timothy Leissner's deal-making in South East Asia (Malaysia in particular) netted the bank significant revenues and he rose to become the company's chairman in the region.\n\nBut the biggest deals would come when he crossed paths with Jho Low - alleged to be the power player behind 1MDB.\n\nGoldman had previously rejected Mr Low as a client, after compliance officials raised concerns about the source of his money. But, according to a US indictment, Mr Leissner and another Goldman banker, Roger Ng, used Mr Low's powerful connections to obtain business for Goldman.\n\nThe bank is alleged to have earned an eye-popping $600m in fees for arranging and underwriting three bond sales to raise $6.5bn for 1MDB in 2012 and 2013.\n\nMr Leissner has pleaded guilty to US charges of conspiring to launder money and violating anti-corruption laws by bribing foreign officials.\n\nMalaysia has also filed charges against him, Mr Ng and 17 other former and current Goldman bankers. The bank itself has also been charged.\n\nGoldman Sachs denies wrongdoing. It has called the Malaysian charges against it and the 17 people \"misdirected\" and vowed to \"vigorously defend them\". It has sought to portray Mr Leissner, who it suspended in 2016, as having gone rogue and has apologised for his behaviour.\n\nBut the Malaysian government has rejected the apology and called for the bank to cough up $7.5bn in reparations. Mr Ng, who left Goldman in 2014, denies all the charges against him.\n\nMoney talks but does the power of celebrity speak louder?\n\nThe 1MDB scandal hasn't just been about powerful politicians and financiers: fugitive businessman Jho Low often partied with Hollywood's A-list.\n\nNone of them are accused of any wrongdoing whatsoever, but their social connections with Mr Low have been the subject of media reports.\n\nThe Oscar-winning actor starred in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street, co-produced and financed by Riza Aziz, son of Rosmah Mansor and Najib Razak's step-son. The Martin Scorsese film about greed and corruption bagged DiCaprio a prestigious Golden Globe award for Best Actor - and he thanked both Mr Aziz and Mr Low by name in his acceptance speech.\n\nUS prosecutors said misappropriated 1MDB money was used to finance the film, and the production company Red Granite paid $60m to settle a civil lawsuit with the US government. The company denies any wrongdoing.\n\nBut Mr Aziz was arrested in Malaysia in July 2019 and faces trial on five charges of money laundering. He is alleged to have received nearly $250m of misappropriated 1MDB funds. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.\n\nDiCaprio, meanwhile, has pledged to assist US authorities and has handed over a Picasso painting allegedly gifted to him by Mr Low.\n\nThe ambitious record producer and his superstar wife were once part of Jho Low's inner circle, often photographed at his notoriously swanky parties. Dean performed at Mr Low's infamous 31st birthday celebrations (the one with Britney in the cake).\n\nMusic's biggest night and Jho Low was there with Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys - in 2014\n\nThe musician is also credited with introducing Mr Low to the moneyed art world, where he is alleged to have bought works including a Van Gogh drawing and two Monet paintings with 1MDB funds.\n\nAnother member of the famed inner circle, the hotel heiress reportedly met Mr Low in 2009. They were often seen together in paparazzi pictures (and selfies), partying it up around the world - from the gambling tables of Vegas to the ski slopes of Whistler and balmy Saint-Tropez.\n\nWhat do an Australian supermodel and a Taiwanese singer and actress have in common? Both women were once linked to Jho Low.\n\nAfter a series of extravagant dates (including sailing around Europe for 10 days) Mr Low showered Miranda Kerr, one of the world's highest-paid supermodels, with out-of-this-world gifts: an acrylic, see-through grand piano (worth up to $1m) and an 11-carat diamond necklace and matching earrings. She has since turned over millions in jewellery to US prosecutors.\n\nMr Low took Taiwanese singer Elva Hsiao on a million-dollar date to Dubai, where they dined on a private beach, according to Billion Dollar Whale.\n\nThe 1MDB saga would never have come to light without the tenacious work of journalists who pursued the story for years, breaking bombshell after bombshell and forcing the fund's dealings into scrutiny.\n\nMore than a decade ago this Malaysian-born, British journalist began investigating Malaysia's political elite from her kitchen counter in London after putting the kids to bed. Her Sarawak Report website was initially focused on shadowy dealings in one Malaysian state. But when one of 1MDB's early deals was made in Sarawak, her attention began to shift to what seemed like \"a highly suspect outfit\".\n\nAt the end of 2013, she received a tip-off that Najib's step-son had produced The Wolf of Wall Street. \"That's when I started digging,\" she says. \"Just really because I couldn't resist such an obviously significant story.\" As she followed the money trail, the scoops began to roll in, captivating Malaysians whose domestic media were mostly unable or unwilling to pursue the story.\n\nIn early 2015, Rewcastle-Brown received a trove of more than 200,000 documents from Swiss whistleblower Xavier Justo and made a stunning allegation: that $700m had been dropped directly into a bank account belonging to a Jho Low-controlled company as part of a 1MDB deal.\n\nA few months later - under the headline \"SENSATIONAL FINDINGS!\" - she published details alleging that nearly $700m had been deposited in the prime minister's bank accounts in 2013. The Malaysian authorities blocked her website and issued a warrant for her arrest.\n\n\"I had people all over the world who would contact me with information. Obviously it would be my job to stand it up if I could,\" she said. \"At the height of this there were people being hired to muscle me in London, follow me and photograph me... I had to go to the police.\"\n\nTheir 2018 offering Billion Dollar Whale meticulously detailed Jho Low's alleged exploits and became an instant bestseller in Malaysia.\n\nBut Tom Wright and Bradley Hope have been investigating the 1MDB money trail for years at the Wall Street Journal.\n\n\"News stories don't typically go beyond 2,000 words and it felt like we were cutting out a lot of fascinating details [from the saga],\" said Hope. \"We knew people were having a hard time following the scandal and there was a bigger, more colourful story to do about Jho Low specifically.\"\n\nHope said their book crystallised how bad the scandal was for Malaysia.\n\n\"There was so much noise and misinformation out there,\" he said. \"To see it all laid out in one place, fact by fact, made it very clear that 1MDB had become one of the world's biggest financial scandals. Billion Dollar Whale shows how it developed chronologically and brought the issue home for many Malaysians.\"\n\nThe book may have also increased global pressure in the search for Jho Low (now wanted in several countries).\n\n\"Readers have sent us letters and politicians [Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng] have even used and referenced our book to explain the issues surrounding 1MDB,\" Hope said. \"Billion Dollar Whale is starting to filter through around the world and people who have never heard of 1MDB tell us they were utterly engrossed by it.\"\n\nIf you read nothing but Malaysian newspapers and only watched local TV news reports at the height of the 1MDB scandal in 2015, you'd be fooled into believing all was well in the country. Malaysian journalists and editors learned quickly that reports about the sovereign fund's scandals courted danger and would risk their operating licences.\n\nBut there were those who persisted and paid the price. The Edge Media Group was one.\n\nThe Edge's newspapers published investigations into 1MDB's activities and had its newspapers' publishing licences suspended over what was deemed as \"reporting that could affect public order\".\n\n\"This is nothing more than a move to shut us down in order to shut us up,\" publisher Ho Kay Tat said at the time.\n\nLeading the charge against 1MDB in Malaysia is lawmaker Tony Pua, who raised constant questions while in opposition under Najib Razak's government.\n\nHis party is now in power but Mr Pua remains unashamedly vocal in his disdain for the former PM.\n\n\"Najib Razak is the ultimate culprit. When confusion arises over his statements I will pop in to steer things in the right direction,\" he told the BBC on the sidelines of a visit in Singapore.\n\nAlso political secretary to Malaysia's finance minister, who is leading 1MDB investigations, Mr Pua said he remains focused on \"fixing damage done to the economy\".\n\n\"The financial scandal is in the past and there are no more shenanigans, it's the clean-up process now,\" he said. \"We need to bring about economic growth and closing the 1MDB chapter is a big part of that.\"\n\nThe colourful politician, who hails from Johor state, often takes to YouTube to lament the scandal. \"I know the facts and I articulate them,\" he said. \"I get information from documents and informants and piece them together to tell the story of what's actually happening.\"\n\nBut he says Mr Najib's trials are \"just the beginning\" and the judicial process could go on for years. \"The jigsaw is almost complete but there are a few missing pieces. And I believe Najib Razak's trial will reveal some.\"\n\nNajib Razak is expected to face several trials in Malaysia. If found guilty of the many offences he is charged with, Mr Najib could spend decades in prison. Jho Low remains at large.\n\nGraphics by Davies Surya and Arvin Supriyadi in Jakarta.", "Asda has overtaken Sainsbury's to become the UK's second-largest supermarket, figures suggest.\n\nAsda's sales rose 0.1% in the 12 weeks to 24 March taking its market share to 15.4%, research firm Kantar said.\n\nIn contrast, Sainsbury's sales fell 1.8% over the same period, meaning its market share dropped to 15.3%.\n\nThe two supermarket groups are currently struggling to persuade the UK competition watchdog to allow their proposed £7bn merger to go ahead.\n\nThe duo have argued that the tie-up will save them £1.6bn and allow them to pass on £1bn in price cuts to savers. They have also agreed to sell between 125 and 150 supermarkets and a number of convenience stores if allowed to merge.\n\nAccording to Kantar's figures, Sainsbury's was the worst performer of all the big four supermarkets, which includes Tesco and Morrisons. Sainsbury's sales fall meant its performance lagged behind smaller rivals, such as Iceland and Co-op.\n\nKantar said one reason for Sainsbury's sales slide was that much of its non-food was now sold via catalogue-retailer Argos, which the supermarket group bought in 2016. Argos sales are not included in Kantar's figures.\n\nDiscounters Aldi and Lidl continued to expand their reach, with both expanding their market share to 8% and 5.6% respectively in the period.\n\n\"Thirteen million households visited Aldi at least once in the past 12 weeks - now more than those shopping at Morrisons,\" said Fraser McKevitt, consumer head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar.\n\nOverall, year-on-year supermarket sales over the 12 week period rose 1.4% - the slowest rate of growth since March last year, which was partly due to the late Easter meaning that Mother's Day fell outside the reported period, Kantar said.\n\nDespite Easter being later than usual, Kantar said its data showed that shoppers have already spent £146m on Easter eggs this year, while 42% of households had bought hot cross buns.", "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched their own Instagram account.\n\nThe official account for Harry and Meghan, sussexroyal, will be used for \"important announcements\" and to share the work that \"drives\" them.\n\nIt already has more than one million followers, with its first post including images of the royal couple.\n\nIt comes as the duke and duchess, who are expecting a baby this month, split their household office from that of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.\n\nMeghan and Harry's support team will be based at Buckingham Palace, instead of Kensington Palace, from this spring.\n\nThe couple are shortly moving to their new official residence at Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle.\n\nThis Instagram post cannot be displayed in your browser.

this is the longest run in the division since Hull City went 26 away games without victory between March 2009 and August 2013.\n• None Watford striker Andre Gray is just the second player to assist two goals in one Premier League games as a substitute this season, after Aaron Ramsey against Spurs in December.\n• None Fulham forward Ryan Babel has been directly involved in five league goals (three goals and two assists) for Fulham since making his debut in January, more than double that of any team-mate.\n• None Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon has assisted six Premier League goals;

The flight helps connect islanders with education and medical services\n\nIslanders in the Inner Hebrides have told of their concerns about the lifeline air service they rely on.\n\nArgyll and Bute Council has had to re-tender its public obligation service (PSO) flights between Oban and the islands of Colonsay, Coll and Tiree.\n\nThe situation arose in February because the council said the price from the only bidder, Hebridean Air Service, exceeded a new, lower contract ceiling.\n\nIslanders fear there will be a gap in provision during the tendering process.\n\nThe flights are used by children to get to school on the mainland and by visiting health professionals.\n\nAlison Jones uses the service once a week so her son Harris, the only four-year-old on Coll, can be educated with other children the same age as him.\n\nSecondary school pupils also use the service to get to and from high school in Oban.\n\nAlison and her son Harris are regular users of the service\n\nAlison said: \"It's absolutely vital for us. This is the school bus.\n\n\"You can do 50 miles in 30 minutes compared to a ferry in almost three hours.\"\n\nJill Rae, practice manager at Coll Medical Practice, said the flights were frequently used by medical staff not readily available on the island.\n\nShe said: \"We have physiotherapists, podiatrists, health workers and midwives who come over and they can do it for the day, but cannot stay overnight. That service, I fear, we would lose.\"\n\nJill Rae says the service is vital to visiting health professionals\n\nPaula Smalley, of Coll's community council, said she could not remember a time when the community had felt so exposed.\n\nThe island has already lost its dentist service, no longer has a dedicated nurse and young adults have been leaving the isle.\n\nPaula said: \"We are as a community extremely concerned about the future of our island.\n\n\"When you have no youngsters there is no future and with this constant erosion of services it's not very encouraging.\"\n\nHebridean Air Service bid to continue providing the flights linking islands to Oban on the mainland\n\nArgyll and Bute Council said it recognised the importance of the islands air service.\n\nA spokeswoman said: \"The contract for the vital air services from Oban to the islands of Tiree, Coll and Colonsay is out to tender and we remain committed to working towards a solution.\"\n\nPaula Smalley says the community is concerned about the future of Coll\n\nIn February, a spokesman from Hebridean Air Services said: \"For the avoidance of any doubt Hebridean Air Services tendered for the renewal of this service from 16 May 2019 onwards.\n\n\"We were advised that the procurement process was abandoned on the grounds that the bids received exceeded the funds that Argyll and Bute Council has assigned to operate the service.\n\n\"We are continuing to have a dialogue with Argyll and Bute Council and sincerely hope that an agreement can be reached which means services are not disrupted.\"\n• None Isles' flights to be disrupted for weeks\n\nThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.", "The actor who played Sammy \"Zammo\" McGuire in Grange Hill in the 1980s is to return to our screens as a new character in EastEnders.\n\nChild star Lee MacDonald, who's now 50, rose to fame more than 30 years ago as the loveable Zammo, a character who later ran into drug problems.\n\nMacDonald will appear on the BBC One soap in two episodes this spring.\n\nHe'll play a bus driver, who takes on Mick Carter - played by Danny Dyer - in a radio competition to win gig tickets.\n\nMacDonald, who after subsequent small roles in The Bill and Birds of a Feather, quit acting to run a south London locksmith and key-cutting firm, said: \"I am absolutely chuffed to bits and so excited to be briefly joining the cast of EastEnders.\n\n\"I can't say too much yet but watch this space. Top banana!\"\n\nIn 1986, MacDonald was involved in one of the most memorable scenes in children's TV history.\n\nThis was after Zammo, who had previously overdosed on heroin in the back room of the amusement arcade where his friend Roland worked, came back to school - apparently clean - but was caught by friends trying to hide drugs in a toilet cistern.\n\nThe storyline was intended to warn children off substance abuse and as part of the campaign the cast of the show also had a top five UK chart hit with their anti-drugs charity track, Just Say No.\n\nMacDonald (l) and Grange Hill cast members meet Nancy Reagan at the White House in 1986\n\nThe Grange Hill gang were then swiftly invited to the USA to perform the LaToya Jackson cover at the Yankee Stadium in New York. They were even praised by then US First Lady Nancy Reagan on a trip to the White House.\n\nAfter decades out of the spotlight, MacDonald appeared on the BBC's Celebrity Scissorhands and in a child stars edition of Pointless Celebrities.\n\nReacting to the news of his return, TV critic Emma Bullimore tells the BBC that while the name Zammo may mean nothing to younger viewers, the inclusion of an \"absolute '80s icon\" in another of the nation's best-loved shows will be of great interest and excitement to older ones.\n\n\"I think it's difficult if you weren't around at that time to think now about how big a kids TV programme could be,\" says Bullimore.\n\n\"Now we live in an age of Netflix and all these different channels and so many choices, but when you had only a few channels, ratings for shows used to be so much bigger and the most popular character within a huge show was an real icon and someone that people really cared about and got excited about seeing on TV.\n\n\"It's going to be a massive nostalgia trip for that generation to see that actor grown-up and being in another classic show.\"\n\nMacDonald and co record Just Say No\n\nThe fictional path from Northam to Walford has been a fairly well-trodden one for actors down the years, but Bullimore believes the length of time between MacDonald's two big roles adds greater significance.\n\n\"Grange Hill and Byker Grove were both massive at the time and spawned loads of people that went on to be in big shows,\" she adds.\n\n\"So loads of people we were familiar with as kids then became part of shows we watched as adults.\n\n\"It was kind of like Grange Hill was a training ground for EastEnders in a way, but it's a slightly different case with Zammo as there's been a big gap.\n\n\"I think he hasn't been doing that much acting - a few bit parts here and there - and certainly sounds like he's excited to be back and it'll be interesting to see if he's going to do any more.\"\n\nShe certainly wouldn't rule out further episodes if MacDonald's on-screen comedy music battle with Dyer captures the imagination:\n\n\"It's supposed to be for a couple of episodes, although in soap history we've seen many [one-off] episodes lead to more.\"\n\nAs Zammo prepares to go on the buses, let's take a quick look back at a few of the other Grange Hill kids who went on to became regulars in the Queen Vic.\n\nYoung Tully played Grange Hill schoolgirl Suzanne Ross for three years in the early '80s, before leaving the show to go to college (or so she thought).\n\nIn 1985, however, at the age of 17, she secured the role of Michelle Fowler in the then brand new soap opera EastEnders, where she would remain until 1995.\n\nHer character became pregnant at the age of 16 after having an affair with \"Dirty\" Den Watts.\n\nTully returned to Walford in the director's chair for 12 episodes in the late '90s but she repeatedly turned down offers to reprise her role as Michelle, which was eventually recast with Jenna Russell in 2016.\n\nCarty arrived on screens in Grange Hill in 1978, playing the rebellious Tucker Jenkins.\n\nHe was one of the few characters to get his own spin-off show in the form of Tucker's Luck, which followed him from his unruly school days to the dole queue.\n\nIn 1990, Carty took over the role of Susan Tully's on-screen brother Mark Fowler in EastEnders. His casting followed the death of the original actor, David Scarboro.\n\nHis character was diagnosed with HIV, and died off-screen in 2004.\n\nActor turned R&B singer Gayle first came to public attention in Grange Hill as Fiona Wilson, who was one half of the school's rap duo Fresh 'n' Fly.\n\nA few years later, she took on the role of Hattie Tavernier in 'Enders.\n\nThe Taverniers were the first black family to join the soap at the same time.\n\nHattie worked as Ian Beale's personal assistant in the show, and also suffered a miscarriage after her fiancé Steve abandoned her.\n\nClearly not over Fresh 'n' Fly, Gayle quit the soap in 1993 to pursue a full-time career in music, where she went on to score seven UK top 40 singles. Her highest-placed tune, pop pickers, was 1994's Sweetness - which peaked at number four.\n\nAnd finally, who could forget Sean Maguire?\n\nHe played \"Tegs\" Ratcliffe in Grange Hill from 1988 to 1992.\n\nIn EastEnders though, he became Aidan Brosnan, a young Irish footballer playing for the fictional Walford FC.\n\nMaguire left the show (and the team) to take on the starring role in another BBC drama series, Dangerfield, in 1994.\n\nHe recently had a recurring role in the long-running ABC series Once upon a Time, taking over the part of Robin Hood from Miranda star and former EastEnders doctor Tom Ellis.\n\nFollow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

I could see they were paras by the berets they were wearing.\"\n\nIn the interview, he said the soldiers later created \"ghost gunmen\" to justify having opened fire.\n\n\"I was quite, not shocked, disgusted, by the fact that the soldiers did lie,\" he said.\n\nC4 later said that at the 1972 inquest into Father Mullan's death he'd been called a traitor by an officer of the Parachute Regiment and had been threatened.\n\nOf his own military career, he said: \"I served with honour. To me, part of that was the truth.\"\n\nLater C4 was questioned at length by a barrister for the Ministry of Defence.\n\nThe former soldier told him: \"Don't think this is easy for me, it's not.

But this date was extended twice, first to 12 April and then until 31 October, after Mrs May's deal was rejected in successive votes in the House of Commons.\n\nNow it is being extended for a third time - so how does this process work?\n\nThe UK cannot make a decision about extending Article 50 on its own - it has to send a request to the 27 other EU countries.\n\nAll 27 have to agree in order to secure an extension.\n\nOn Saturday 19 October, Mr Johnson sent a letter, as he was compelled to by a law known as the Benn Act. The law stated he must send an extension request should he fail to get a Brexit deal through the House of Commons by the end of 19 October.\n\nMr Johnson also sent a second letter saying he believed that a \"further extension would damage the interests of the UK and our EU partners\".\n\nNevertheless, on 28 October the EU agreed to the extension proposed in his first letter.\n\nThe EU was not obliged to say yes.\n\nOnce it received the UK's delay request, in the form of a letter, the 27 leaders consulted with each other on their decision. It was then made following a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels.\n\nIf EU leaders had decided to offer a longer extension they would have been likely to have met in person to set conditions of the extension.\n\nIt's worth pointing out that Article 50 can also be revoked - effectively cancelling Brexit.\n\nThe UK can in theory do that without consulting anyone else. That would mean that Brexit would not happen and the UK would remain in the EU on the same terms it has now.\n\nThe Liberal Democrats are the only party to say that would they would revoke Article 50 without a referendum if they won a majority in a general election.\n\nThe European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that a revocation should be \"unequivocal and unconditional\", suggesting that the ECJ would take a dim view of any attempt to withdraw an Article 50 notification and then resubmit it again a short time later.", "Russell Bucklew argued that his medical condition would make death by lethal injection extremely painful\n\nThe US Supreme Court has ruled that a convicted murderer on death row in Missouri has no right to a \"painless death\".\n\nThe ruling clears the way for the execution of Russell Bucklew, who asked for gas rather than lethal injection, citing an unusual medical condition.\n\nBucklew, 50, argued the state's preferred method amounts to legally banned \"cruel and unusual punishment\".\n\nThe 5-4 ruling split along the court's ideological lines.\n\nBucklew was sentenced to death in 1996 for rape, murder and kidnapping in an attack against his ex-girlfriend and her new partner and six-year-old son.\n\nIn recent court filings, Bucklew argued that his congenital condition, cavernous hemangioma, might cause him excessive pain if he is put to death by lethal injection.\n\nThe condition causes blood-filled tumours in his throat, neck and face, which he said could rupture during his execution causing him extreme pain and suffocation.\n\nAccording to Bucklew, he would feel excessive pain if the state executioner is allowed to use the state's preferred method of a single drug, pentobarbital, applied by needle.\n\nBut the Supreme Court's conservative justices said on Monday they considered the legal effort to be a stalling tactic.\n\nThey said it was up to the prisoner to prove that another method of execution would \"reduce a substantial risk of severe pain\", but he had not done so.\n\nWriting for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that Bucklew had been on death row for more than 20 years.\n\n\"The eighth amendment [to the US constitution] forbids 'cruel and unusual' methods of capital punishment but does not guarantee a prisoner a painless death,\" wrote Justice Gorsuch, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017.\n\nHe continued: \"As originally understood, the eighth amendment tolerated methods of execution, like hanging, that involved a significant risk of pain, while forbidding as cruel only those methods that intensified the death sentence by 'superadding' terror, pain or disgrace.\"\n\nLiberals on the court, including Justice Stephen Breyer, argued that Bucklew's condition should have allowed for him to be put to death by nitrogen gas, a method allowed in three states.\n\n\"There are higher values than ensuring that executions run on time,\" wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a separate opinion, adding that secrecy in the death penalty process has recently yielded different results in two similar cases.\n\nIn one case in Alabama, a Muslim man was forbidden from having an imam with him during his execution, but the court halted a similar sentence after an appeal by a Buddhist who wanted his spiritual adviser present when he was put to death.\n\nIn Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion in the Bucklew case, he referred to those two cases, saying the inmate in Alabama had been given ample time to voice his complaint, but chose to do so only 15 days before he was scheduled to die.", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

But many people seeking an assisted death cannot afford the £10,000-trip, and some are too ill to make the journey.\n\nAlly Thomson, Scottish director of Dignity in Death, said clinics abroad were not the answer: \"Dignitas absolutely outsources this problem, really - the current law is broken when people need to go to Switzerland to have a safe and dignified death.\n\n\"Most families want their loved ones to stay around for as long as possible - it's the person themselves who doesn't wish to have a bad death and doesn't want to leave things until the last minute and suffer that pain that can happen at the end of life.\"\n\nMargo MacDonald campaigned for a change in the law\n\nAttempts to change the law on this issue were made by the late MSP Margo McDonald.\n\nThe idea was put before Holyrood twice, but her bills failed to receive parliamentary backing. One concern was that vulnerable people could be pressured by relatives, or even clinicians, to take an irrevocable decision.\n\nMs Thomson said: \"We know from international examples... that that simply isn't the case.\n\n\"Once our decision-makers look at the evidence, we think they'll be very satisfied on that point.\"\n\nHowever, Gordon Macdonald, the chief executive of the Care Not Killing umbrella group which is opposed to assisted suicide, said the last vote on the issue had seen a bill from Green MSP Patrick Harvie defeated by 82 votes to 36.\n\n\"Most members realised then that the risks of legalising assisted suicide were too high and would put vulnerable people at risk of harm,\" he said.\n\nHe more money should instead be made available for palliative care.\n• None What is assisted suicide and euthanasia?", "This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Often during the week, too.\n\nNumbers varied - from only a couple of drinkers to as many as 10.\n\nThis is the Friar Penketh in Warrington, a busy Wetherspoons in the town centre.\n\nThe conversation of the drinking party was not that of ordinary lads out socialising - football or work - but focused on far darker subjects, such as their hatred of Jewish and non-white people, their veneration of Nazism and Adolf Hitler, and their fascination with terrorism.\n\nOn Saturday 1 July 2017, several members and former members of the banned neo-Nazi organisation National Action arrived in the late afternoon.\n\nThey were joined in the early evening by a youthful-looking man whose wide, hostile eyes are in contrast to his slender, timid frame.\n\nAlmost immediately, the then 22-year-old began complaining about an ongoing police investigation into him for stirring up racial hatred in speeches.\n\nThere was sympathy for Jack Renshaw among his fellow drinkers.\n\nAs the evening wore on, he revealed an imminent plan - that if he was charged by police, he would make a political statement by killing his local MP Rosie Cooper.\n\nHe had already bought a gladius machete - a Roman short sword - to carry out the murder.\n\nHostages would be taken, he elaborated, and he would lure a female detective who was investigating him to the scene by demanding to speak to her. He would then kill her as well.\n\nAfter that, he would commit \"suicide by cop\" by advancing on armed police wearing a fake suicide vest, he told the group.\n\nThe attack would be an act of \"white jihad\" - a slogan used by National Action - and he planned to make a martyrdom-style video setting this out.\n\nNone of those around the table challenged Renshaw, and two of them even suggested alternative targets, namely the then Home Secretary Amber Rudd and a synagogue.\n\nWhat none of them knew was that one of their number was secretly passing information to the anti-racism charity Hope not Hate.\n\nRobbie Mullen, once a committed neo-Nazi, had grown disillusioned and wanted out.\n\n\"I didn't want to be involved in killing anyone, or a group I was involved with killing people. I just didn't want anyone to get killed or hurt,\" he says.\n\nAs Mullen left the pub that night, Renshaw gave him a hug and said they would probably not see one another again.\n\nAlarmed by what was unfolding, Mullen immediately contacted Hope not Hate\n\n\"Jack is going to kill an MP soon,\" he told them.\n\nHe was born in Lancashire and became involved in politics in his teens - first with the English Defence League and then the British National Party (BNP), after meeting its then leader Nick Griffin at an event.\n\nWhen he finished school, he started a degree in economics and politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, but was asked to leave because of his far-right activism.\n\nRenshaw spent years in the BNP, appearing on its posters, in videos, and as a speaker at conferences. He stood for Blackpool Council and worked at the European Parliament in Brussels.\n\nHe also involved himself in campaigning against the sexual grooming of children.\n\nOnce asked to describe his journey, Renshaw said: \"I started off basically as a bit of a civic nationalist with, let's say, slightly covert racist thoughts, and now I'm an outright racist national socialist.\"\n\nNational Action would become his political home.\n\nThe youthful British group, which was founded in 2013, was openly racist and neo-Nazi.\n\nThe new parents and the neo-Nazi terror threat the story of National Action and the threat posed by its members.\n\nIt would be banned in December 2016 after an official assessment concluded it was unlawfully glorifying terrorism.\n\nNational Action had even used an official Twitter account to celebrate the murder of Jo Cox MP by a white supremacist.\n\nRobbie Mullen, then a warehouse worker living in Runcorn, Cheshire, had joined the group after becoming absorbed by extremist politics.\n\nHe had researched other organisations, but was drawn in by the brash, confident National Action, whose members dressed in all-black at demonstrations and used social media to promote their activities.\n\nMullen, now 25, told the BBC he was first attracted by the \"way they looked\" and because \"they were all around my age, whereas the usual far right were old men drinking in a pub.\"\n\nMullen, like Renshaw who was a National Action spokesperson, became a prominent figure in the group, helping to organise activities in north west England.\n\nRenshaw seemed to revel in the cruelty of his chosen ideology.\n\nHis social media pages became a vile stream of hatred and malicious conspiracy theories, with Jewish people a frequent target of abuse.\n\nBut it was two anti-Semitic speeches he made on behalf of National Action that would prove his undoing.\n\nDuring a demonstration on Blackpool seafront in March 2016, Renshaw said Jewish people were \"parasites\" and that Britain had taken the wrong side in World War Two, instead of fighting with the Nazis who were implementing the \"final solution\".\n\nAt a speech in Yorkshire a month earlier, he had said Adolf Hitler was \"right in many senses\", but wrong when he \"showed mercy to people who did not deserve mercy\".\n\nRenshaw said that Jewish people should be \"eradicated\".\n\nHe was arrested at his mother's house in Blackpool in January 2017 and held on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred.\n\nHis mobile phones and other items were seized.\n\nHowever, his speeches were not the only matters under investigation.\n\nRenshaw, a campaigner against child sexual exploitation, was secretly a paedophile who had been grooming boys for sex.\n\nFor nearly a year he had been using a fake Facebook profile to sexually groom two boys, who were aged between 13 and 15 at the time.\n\nDespite not meeting the children, he offered them money for sex and requested intimate photographs. Police were alerted after a relative saw messages on one of the boy's phones.\n\nDetectives established the Facebook messages had been sent from the Blackpool address occupied by Jack Renshaw.\n\nWhen first arrested in January, he had only been interviewed in relation to the speeches, before being released on bail while inquiries continued.\n\nOne of the investigating officers - Det Con Victoria Henderson - was tasked with keeping in touch with the suspect and she also became involved in the sexual offences inquiry.\n\nIn May that year, Renshaw was re-arrested and questioned about the grooming.\n\nHe must have realised his deception was at an end.\n\nDC Henderson later said Renshaw had been \"shocked and upset\" and \"gone visibly white and was very teary\".\n\nHe denied grooming the boys, despite evidence of the offending having been found on his own phones.\n\nThe suspect, who had a history of making homophobic statements, told DC Henderson he was still a virgin, did not believe in sex outside marriage, and that his taste in pornography was \"quite traditional\" and \"quite conservative\".\n\nWhile admitting to having searched online for gay pornography \"out of interest\", he denied being homosexual and said same-sex relationships were \"unnatural\".\n\nWithin two days of being released on bail, Renshaw searched for DC Henderson on Facebook.\n\nUnknown to police, Renshaw had already begun planning an attack on his local MP Rosie Cooper, which would be a political killing. He now resolved to also murder DC Henderson, which would be an act of personal revenge.\n\nEarlier that month he had researched the West Lancashire MP and Googled: \"How long to die after jugular cut\".\n\nOn 7 June, he ordered a machete online - described by its manufacturer as offering \"19 inches of unprecedented piercing and slashing power\" - and paid for next-day delivery.\n\nAfter receiving it, he shared an image of the weapon with associates using the encrypted Telegram messaging app.\n\nBut Renshaw's plans were foiled because of Robbie Mullen.\n\nBy this time, Mullen was secretly communicating with Hope not Hate.\n\nAfter establishing contact in spring 2017, Mullen said that National Action members had not disbanded, despite the group having been banned. He said they were continuing to meet, train together in a private gym, and communicate via encrypted messaging applications.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Jack Renshaw admitted plotting to kill an MP but denied membership of National Action\n\nThe public trappings of the group - demonstrations, the website, the name - had gone, but he claimed the core of the group remained.\n\nWhen it was banned, Mullen later told the BBC, National Action's longstanding fascination with terrorism became central to its purpose, and the group began planning for imminent racial warfare.\n\nAfter Renshaw laid out his violent plans in the pub on 1 July 2017, Mullen spoke to Matthew Collins, his contact and Hope not Hate's research director.\n\nCollins, who was on holiday at the time, recalls the moment he was told that Renshaw \"was going to kill an MP imminently, immediately\".\n\nHe remembers asking Mullen: \"'How immediately?' and he said, 'It's going to happen soon'. And this horrific, unimaginable story unfolded.\"\n\nThe next day Hope not Hate got a message to Rosie Cooper warning her of the danger.\n\nShe informed the police and suddenly found herself at the centre of a counter terrorism investigation - only a year after the murder of her colleague Jo Cox.\n\nWhile this was happening, Renshaw was being interviewed in Lancashire - again by DC Henderson - about the grooming offences. He was then separately charged with stirring up racial hatred in the two speeches.\n\nHe was released on bail, and that night posted a series of messages on Facebook indicative of his mindset.\n\n\"I'm spending my time with family… It will all be over soon.\"\n\nIn another, he wrote: \"I'll laugh last but it may not be for the longest.\"\n\nCounter terrorism detectives hurriedly tried to locate Renshaw, but he was not at his bail address.\n\nWhile searching his uncle's house, they discovered the machete that Renshaw had bought hidden in an airing cupboard.\n\nPolice photos of Renshaw's machete found in an airing cupboard\n\nHe was eventually found and arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.\n\nThe next day, he appeared before a court for the stirring up racial hatred offences and the prosecution successfully opposed bail.\n\nRenshaw was off the streets.\n\nRobbie Mullen, on the other hand, continued associating with the same people.\n\nNone of them knew he was the source of intelligence about the proposed attack.\n\nThere were concerns that Mullen, himself, could face prosecution for membership of National Action.\n\nImmunity had to be granted, and the police had to assess whether his evidence could be used in a prosecution.\n\nIn autumn 2017, six people who had been drinking in the Friar Penketh on the night Renshaw revealed his plot were arrested and eventually charged.\n\nTwo of them, including the group leader Christopher Lythgoe, were convicted of membership of National Action.

At the end of his fourth and final trial of the past two years, the full story of those cases can now be told.\n\nThey drank there regularly. Normally on a Saturday. Often during the week, too.\n\nNumbers varied - from only a couple of drinkers to as many as 10.\n\nThis is the Friar Penketh in Warrington, a busy Wetherspoons in the town centre.\n\nThe conversation of the drinking party was not that of ordinary lads out socialising - football or work - but focused on far darker subjects, such as their hatred of Jewish and non-white people, their veneration of Nazism and Adolf Hitler, and their fascination with terrorism.\n\nOn Saturday 1 July 2017, several members and former members of the banned neo-Nazi organisation National Action arrived in the late afternoon.\n\nThey were joined in the early evening by a youthful-looking man whose wide, hostile eyes are in contrast to his slender, timid frame.\n\nAlmost immediately, the then 22-year-old began complaining about an ongoing police investigation into him for stirring up racial hatred in speeches.\n\nThere was sympathy for Jack Renshaw among his fellow drinkers.\n\nAs the evening wore on, he revealed an imminent plan - that if he was charged by police, he would make a political statement by killing his local MP Rosie Cooper.\n\nHe had already bought a gladius machete - a Roman short sword - to carry out the murder.\n\nHostages would be taken, he elaborated, and he would lure a female detective who was investigating him to the scene by demanding to speak to her. He would then kill her as well.\n\nAfter that, he would commit \"suicide by cop\" by advancing on armed police wearing a fake suicide vest, he told the group.\n\nThe attack would be an act of \"white jihad\" - a slogan used by National Action - and he planned to make a martyrdom-style video setting this out.\n\nNone of those around the table challenged Renshaw, and two of them even suggested alternative targets, namely the then Home Secretary Amber Rudd and a synagogue.\n\nWhat none of them knew was that one of their number was secretly passing information to the anti-racism charity Hope not Hate.\n\nRobbie Mullen, once a committed neo-Nazi, had grown disillusioned and wanted out.\n\n\"I didn't want to be involved in killing anyone, or a group I was involved with killing people. I just didn't want anyone to get killed or hurt,\" he says.\n\nAs Mullen left the pub that night, Renshaw gave him a hug and said they would probably not see one another again.\n\nAlarmed by what was unfolding, Mullen immediately contacted Hope not Hate\n\n\"Jack is going to kill an MP soon,\" he told them.\n\nHe was born in Lancashire and became involved in politics in his teens - first with the English Defence League and then the British National Party (BNP), after meeting its then leader Nick Griffin at an event.\n\nWhen he finished school, he started a degree in economics and politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, but was asked to leave because of his far-right activism.\n\nRenshaw spent years in the BNP, appearing on its posters, in videos, and as a speaker at conferences. He stood for Blackpool Council and worked at the European Parliament in Brussels.\n\nHe also involved himself in campaigning against the sexual grooming of children.\n\nOnce asked to describe his journey, Renshaw said: \"I started off basically as a bit of a civic nationalist with, let's say, slightly covert racist thoughts, and now I'm an outright racist national socialist.\"\n\nNational Action would become his political home.\n\nThe youthful British group, which was founded in 2013, was openly racist and neo-Nazi.\n\nThe new parents and the neo-Nazi terror threat the story of National Action and the threat posed by its members.\n\nIt would be banned in December 2016 after an official assessment concluded it was unlawfully glorifying terrorism.\n\nNational Action had even used an official Twitter account to celebrate the murder of Jo Cox MP by a white supremacist.\n\nRobbie Mullen, then a warehouse worker living in Runcorn, Cheshire, had joined the group after becoming absorbed by extremist politics.\n\nHe had researched other organisations, but was drawn in by the brash, confident National Action, whose members dressed in all-black at demonstrations and used social media to promote their activities.\n\nMullen, now 25, told the BBC he was first attracted by the \"way they looked\" and because \"they were all around my age, whereas the usual far right were old men drinking in a pub.\"\n\nMullen, like Renshaw who was a National Action spokesperson, became a prominent figure in the group, helping to organise activities in north west England.\n\nRenshaw seemed to revel in the cruelty of his chosen ideology.\n\nHis social media pages became a vile stream of hatred and malicious conspiracy theories, with Jewish people a frequent target of abuse.\n\nBut it was two anti-Semitic speeches he made on behalf of National Action that would prove his undoing.\n\nDuring a demonstration on Blackpool seafront in March 2016, Renshaw said Jewish people were \"parasites\" and that Britain had taken the wrong side in World War Two, instead of fighting with the Nazis who were implementing the \"final solution\".\n\nAt a speech in Yorkshire a month earlier, he had said Adolf Hitler was \"right in many senses\", but wrong when he \"showed mercy to people who did not deserve mercy\".\n\nRenshaw said that Jewish people should be \"eradicated\".\n\nHe was arrested at his mother's house in Blackpool in January 2017 and held on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred.\n\nHis mobile phones and other items were seized.\n\nHowever, his speeches were not the only matters under investigation.\n\nRenshaw, a campaigner against child sexual exploitation, was secretly a paedophile who had been grooming boys for sex.\n\nFor nearly a year he had been using a fake Facebook profile to sexually groom two boys, who were aged between 13 and 15 at the time.\n\nDespite not meeting the children, he offered them money for sex and requested intimate photographs. Police were alerted after a relative saw messages on one of the boy's phones.\n\nDetectives established the Facebook messages had been sent from the Blackpool address occupied by Jack Renshaw.\n\nWhen first arrested in January, he had only been interviewed in relation to the speeches, before being released on bail while inquiries continued.\n\nOne of the investigating officers - Det Con Victoria Henderson - was tasked with keeping in touch with the suspect and she also became involved in the sexual offences inquiry.\n\nIn May that year, Renshaw was re-arrested and questioned about the grooming.\n\nHe must have realised his deception was at an end.\n\nDC Henderson later said Renshaw had been \"shocked and upset\" and \"gone visibly white and was very teary\".\n\nHe denied grooming the boys, despite evidence of the offending having been found on his own phones.\n\nThe suspect, who had a history of making homophobic statements, told DC Henderson he was still a virgin, did not believe in sex outside marriage, and that his taste in pornography was \"quite traditional\" and \"quite conservative\".\n\nWhile admitting to having searched online for gay pornography \"out of interest\", he denied being homosexual and said same-sex relationships were \"unnatural\".\n\nWithin two days of being released on bail, Renshaw searched for DC Henderson on Facebook.\n\nUnknown to police, Renshaw had already begun planning an attack on his local MP Rosie Cooper, which would be a political killing. He now resolved to also murder DC Henderson, which would be an act of personal revenge.\n\nEarlier that month he had researched the West Lancashire MP and Googled: \"How long to die after jugular cut\".\n\nOn 7 June, he ordered a machete online - described by its manufacturer as offering \"19 inches of unprecedented piercing and slashing power\" - and paid for next-day delivery.\n\nAfter receiving it, he shared an image of the weapon with associates using the encrypted Telegram messaging app.\n\nBut Renshaw's plans were foiled because of Robbie Mullen.\n\nBy this time, Mullen was secretly communicating with Hope not Hate.\n\nAfter establishing contact in spring 2017, Mullen said that National Action members had not disbanded, despite the group having been banned. He said they were continuing to meet, train together in a private gym, and communicate via encrypted messaging applications.\n\nThis video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Jack Renshaw admitted plotting to kill an MP but denied membership of National Action\n\nThe public trappings of the group - demonstrations, the website, the name - had gone, but he claimed the core of the group remained.\n\nWhen it was banned, Mullen later told the BBC, National Action's longstanding fascination with terrorism became central to its purpose, and the group began planning for imminent racial warfare.\n\nAfter Renshaw laid out his violent plans in the pub on 1 July 2017, Mullen spoke to Matthew Collins, his contact and Hope not Hate's research director.\n\nCollins, who was on holiday at the time, recalls the moment he was told that Renshaw \"was going to kill an MP imminently, immediately\".\n\nHe remembers asking Mullen: \"'How immediately?' and he said, 'It's going to happen soon'. And this horrific, unimaginable story unfolded.\"\n\nThe next day Hope not Hate got a message to Rosie Cooper warning her of the danger.\n\nShe informed the police and suddenly found herself at the centre of a counter terrorism investigation - only a year after the murder of her colleague Jo Cox.\n\nWhile this was happening, Renshaw was being interviewed in Lancashire - again by DC Henderson - about the grooming offences. He was then separately charged with stirring up racial hatred in the two speeches.\n\nHe was released on bail, and that night posted a series of messages on Facebook indicative of his mindset.\n\n\"I'm spending my time with family… It will all be over soon.\"\n\nIn another, he wrote: \"I'll laugh last but it may not be for the longest.\"\n\nCounter terrorism detectives hurriedly tried to locate Renshaw, but he was not at his bail address.\n\nWhile searching his uncle's house, they discovered the machete that Renshaw had bought hidden in an airing cupboard.\n\nPolice photos of Renshaw's machete found in an airing cupboard\n\nHe was eventually found and arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.\n\nThe next day, he appeared before a court for the stirring up racial hatred offences and the prosecution successfully opposed bail.\n\nRenshaw was off the streets.\n\nRobbie Mullen, on the other hand, continued associating with the same people.\n\nNone of them knew he was the source of intelligence about the proposed attack.\n\nThere were concerns that Mullen, himself, could face prosecution for membership of National Action.\n\nImmunity had to be granted, and the police had to assess whether his evidence could be used in a prosecution.\n\nIn autumn 2017, six people who had been drinking in the Friar Penketh on the night Renshaw revealed his plot were arrested and eventually charged.\n\nTwo of them, including the group leader Christopher Lythgoe, were convicted of membership of National Action. One man was acquitted of the same charge. Two juries were unable to decide whether the other men - Renshaw included - had stayed in the group after it was banned.\n\nMullen, having refused witness protection, was issued with a \"threat to life\" notice by the authorities.\n\nHope not Hate rushed him away late at night and took him to a safe place - he has been unable to return to his home or job since then.\n\nRenshaw eventually faced four trials over the past 14 months.\n\nIn January 2018, at Preston Crown Court, he was convicted of two counts of stirring up racial hatred in speeches and later sentenced to three years in prison\n\nIn June, at the same court, he was convicted of four counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and jailed for an additional 18 months.\n\nThe case can only be reported now his final trial has concluded.\n\nIn the dock in Preston he appeared sheepish as videos of police interviews with his two young victims, conducted by DC Henderson, were shown to the court.\n\nOne boy described how Renshaw - using a fake Facebook profile under an assumed name - called him a \"hottie\" and \"jailbait\".\n\n\"He was getting too weird, saying he wanted to do weird sexual things to me,\" the victim said.\n\n\"Deffo getting cuddled you,\" Renshaw had informed him.\n\nRenshaw asked the child for explicit photos and tried to entice him into sex by offering money, drugs and pizza: \"One night. 10 grand.
