Media playback is not supported on this device Stanford, 27, the 2013 world champion, won in 59 minutes 49 seconds, seven seconds in front of Stimpson with Bermuda's Flora Duffy coming third. Jonathan Brownlee, who needed medical help after coming third in the previous event in Australia earlier this month, came second in the men's race. Spain's Fernando Alarza won in 54:12, five seconds ahead of Briton Brownlee. Both events consisted of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run, with Britain's Vicky Holland finishing sixth in the women's competition. Duffy is now the overall points leader with Stimpson second. Helen Jenkins, who did not race in Cape Town, was third and Stanford eighth. Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee was absent because of illness and his brother Jonathan revealed he had contemplated withdrawing from the race as well. He missed the medal ceremony after stage two on Australia's Gold Coast because he was receiving medical treatment for heat stroke, but was able to compete again in South Africa. "For the last two weeks I've felt terrible," Jonathan Brownlee told BBC Sport. "Since the Gold Coast I was not sure I would start. "It's not a victory but from where I was two weeks ago it's a big improvement. I knew I wouldn't be able to run a fast 5km." Brownlee's silver medal takes him up to third in the rankings, behind Spanish duo Mario Mola and Alarza, who is now second overall. Fellow Briton Adam Bowden finished 16th. This was the third of nine World Series events and the next one will be held in Yokohama, Japan on 14 and 15 May. The landowner wants to convert Milner Field Farm, Bingley, from agricultural use to outdoor scientific research. Natalie Bennett said the plans would destroy a "successful" small business, but the landowner said the plan would create valuable high-tech jobs. The land was once owned by the Victorian industrialist Sir Titus Salt. David Downs, the current tenant, said: "We are the last dairy farm in Bingley now and we have been overwhelmed by the support we've got. "It is not just about us it is the wider picture - this is the last piece of green space in the area." The farm was once the parkland setting for the now demolished Victorian mansion of Milnerfield built by Sir Titus's son. Source: Saltsmill.org.uk Ms Bennett, said: "It is part of a whole much broader issue of protecting the green belt, protecting the green spaces that are the lungs of so many communities. "Also this is a successful small business, one that is producing food for the local area, and we need to protect our dairy farms." In a statement, the landowner, Kingsbridge Directors Pension Scheme, said the planning application would not affect the "green belt" status of the land. "The change of use of the fields from agriculture to outdoor scientific research (expressly not involving the erection of any additional buildings on those fields) maintains exactly the shapes, topography, trees, and views of the current fields." It said the innovation centre would put Bradford at the "centre of the Northern Powerhouse initiative." Bradford Council has not yet set a date to consider the application.

Dominic Pemberton alleges he was left for "a good hour" before being taken to hospital after the attack by the Greater Manchester Police dog-in-training, outside a Lancashire hotel. The 23-year-old was held on suspicion of going equipped to steal before being de-arrested and taken for treatment. GMP said an inquiry had begun after a dog "unexpectedly detained" a man. Mr Pemberton, whose family has complained to the force, remains in hospital and has undergone two operations since the attack in the car park at the Best Western Park Hall Hotel in Charnock Richard, last Friday. GMP said the dog had been taking part in a planned training exercise at a secure site at the old Camelot Theme Park in Chorley. Mr Pemberton, from Chorley, said he had parked his car and was going to the hotel to renew his gym membership when the dog attacked him. He said: "I had all these injuries and all [the police] were doing was throwing these accusations at me. They weren't concerned about my welfare. "They accused me of trespassing - which I wasn't - and they just didn't treat me well. They didn't treat me like a human being. "I was on the floor for a good hour with my injuries waiting for an ambulance." Ch Insp Mark Dexter of GMP's Specialist Operations branch said: "During the exercise, which involved searching an open area within the site, one of the police dogs unexpectedly detained a man next to the perimeter fence just outside the site." He said the dog handler brought the animal under control and carried out inquiries at the scene. "I know the images of the man's injuries appear quite distressing and will understandably cause some concern but I would like to assure everyone that we are investigating this matter and will be looking to speak with the injured man as a matter of urgency to better understand what happened," Ch Insp Dexter added. Mr Pemberton's father Jim Pemberton, said: "First of all, we want to see Dominic recovering and we also want to make sure the police officers that treated Dominic in such a way are held to account." GMP said: " In line with standard policy the incident was referred to the GMP Professional Standards Branch." The match was referee Bobby Madden's first since undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. Brechin's loss meant Alloa could have moved second, but they were only able to draw at home to Albion Rovers. Airdrieonians went fourth by beating East Fife, Peterhead overcame Stranraer and bottom side Stenhousemuir defeated Queen's Park. After a goalless first half at Glebe Park, Livi took control with strikes in quick succession by Liam Buchanan and Jackson Longridge, while Shaun Byrne added a late third. In Clackmannanshire, there were no goals between Alloa and Rovers, who dropped to fifth. Airdrie needed only one goal against the Fifers, Andy Ryan's early header, but both sides ended with 10 men. East Fife's Jonathan Page received two bookings, while visiting substitute Sean McIntosh was dismissed late on for a challenge on Kevin Smith. Stranraer also lost a man to two yellow cards, Willie Gibson sent off before Rory McAllister and Scott Brown fired in goals for Peterhead. The gap at the bottom is down to one point after Stenny won 3-0 at Hampden. Mark Gilhaney's shot put them ahead in the first half before Queen's Park's Gregor Fotheringham was sent off after fouling Ally Roy in the box. Colin McMenamin converted the resulting penalty before Roy struck the visitors' third.

The review, co-commissioned by UK Sport, comes after British Cycling's technical director Shane Sutton quit amid sexism and discrimination claims. British Cycling chief Bob Howden said the claims were "extremely disturbing". He added: "We will not shy away from taking whatever action is necessary." The review will begin imminently and will conclude following the Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games "to minimise the disruption to British Cycling's final preparations for Rio", a statement read. Media playback is not supported on this device Sutton resigned on Wednesday amid claims he used derogatory words to describe Para-cyclists. An investigation has already been launched to look into that case, as well as rider Jess Varnish's accusations that Sutton made sexist comments and told her to "go and have a baby". Sutton "rejects the specific claims" but said the allegations against him had "become a distraction" to British athletes before this summer's Rio Olympics. The investigations into Sutton's behaviour will remain separate from the joint review, although "lessons learnt by British Cycling from this separate investigation should be incorporated", the statement added. A third inquiry was ordered on Thursday amid separate claims that official British Cycling kit was available to buy online. British Cycling denied any equipment provided by UK Sport had been given away or sold on for profit but said other unwanted kit from commercial partners is sold or given away. In a statement, it was confirmed the joint review "must include, but is not limited to, all forms of discrimination and bullying". "We treat these allegations very seriously," Howden added. "Over the last 20 years, British Cycling has established itself as one of the UK's leading sports and we are proud of what we have achieved as a governing body. "Whatever the outcome of this review, I'm sure that there will be valuable lessons to learn." UK Sport chief Liz Nicholl added: "The allegations made by current and former athletes about British Cycling's World Class Programme over the past week have been deeply troubling to UK Sport, and any long-term cultural issues within the programme must therefore be fully investigated." Nicholl also praised British Cycling for "quickly recognising the severity of these allegations and establishing this joint review". The housebuilder said the developments would "underpin" more than 6,000 existing jobs and support more than 200 local suppliers and contractors. New developments to be launched early in 2017 include Allan Park in Aberdeen and Weirs Wynd in Renfrewshire. The news follows a strong year for Barratt Developments, which includes Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes. In the year to the end of June, it opened 12 new sites across Scotland with a total of 1,556 homes. Developments included Westerwood Gardens in Dalkeith, Westburn Gardens in Aberdeen and Lauder Gardens in Strathaven. Douglas McLeod, regional managing director for Barratt Developments, said: "Demand for good quality homes in desirable locations is still high across Scotland, and our ambitions for the year ahead are a reflection of our confidence in the housing market. "We're seeing strong interest across the property spectrum, ranging from first time buyers interested in our starter homes, to older homeowners looking to down size. "We'll continue to build homes which meet these varied demands. "At the same time, our plans will allow us to continue employing and supporting local construction jobs across the Scotland, providing a boost to both Scotland's economy and to local communities in areas where we are active."

British Cycling is launching a review chaired by British Rowing chief Annamarie Phelps to uncover whether there are "fundamental behavioural issues" in its World Class Programme. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Barratt Developments has unveiled plans to build nearly 2,500 homes at 14 new sites across Scotland this year.

Following a meeting with Theresa May, he said he hoped this would happen "as soon as possible". Mrs May said both countries already enjoy a strong and growing trading relationship worth over £3bn last year. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox will be visiting New Zealand in the coming months, she said. Mrs May said her colleague would begin a bilateral dialogue between the two nations with the ultimate aim of striking a trade deal. The small Oceanic country of less than five million people is believed to be seen in government circles as one of the best prospects for an early trade deal once Britain quits the EU. Britain is the second largest foreign investor in New Zealand and its fifth largest bilateral trading partner. It is also one of the global "five eyes" partners which share their security intelligence with the UK, along with the US, Canada and Australia. Speaking at a press conference, Mr English said: "We're ready to negotiate a high quality free trade agreement with the UK when it's in a position to do so. "We already have a strong and diversified trading relationship with the UK and a free trade agreement will build on that... "We would hope that we could negotiate as soon as possible after the exit is completed. If the UK want to demonstrate that they can negotiate a high quality trade agreement, then New Zealand is the ideal partner for that." Mrs May said New Zealand is important to the UK because of its historic ties, its shared values and belief in free trade. "As two island nations we know that trade is essential to the prosperity of our countries and it's natural that we share a firm, deep-rooted belief in the power of free trade and open markets to drive economic progress and the importance of ensuring the benefits of growth are shared widely and fairly," she said. "While the UK remains in the EU we will work together to support an EU-New Zealand trade deal and we will also look to the future and how we can expand our trade and investment partnership... "In the longer term we agree on the potential for a bold, new UK-New Zealand free trade agreement and I look forward to starting early discussions on this in due course." Ashraf Rossli, 20, had been in the UK for just a month when he was attacked on 8 August in Barking. As he lay injured, John Kafunda, 22, of Ilford, and Reece Donovan, 24, of Romford, stole items from his bag. Both were found guilty of robbery and violent disorder at Wood Green Crown Court. Donovan was also found guilty of theft and burglary. The judge told the men they should expect lengthy custodial sentences when they are sentenced on 13 March. Footage of the incident, which was recorded on a mobile phone and posted on YouTube, caused widespread anger. A portable Sony PlayStation games console and 10 games were taken, valued at £500, Mr Rossli told the court. "I knew they were stealing from me but I could do nothing," he said. "I was sat on the pavement with blood pouring from my mouth. "I remember being approached by a male who asked if I was OK. I remember being pulled to my feet, then I felt someone again tugging at my rucksack. "I was not in a position to defend myself and was still suffering from the effects of being hit. Once they had taken what they wanted they left." The accountancy student from Kuala Lumpur was on his way to a friend's house when his bicycle was stolen and he was punched, breaking his jaw in two places. Doctors had to fit two metal plates to repair the damage. On 16 February Beau Isagba, 17, was found guilty of assaulting Mr Rossli and stealing his bike. He will be sentenced on 9 March. Ch Supt Gary Buttercase, of the Metropolitan Police, said: "I have met Mr Rossli and he is a man of humility and dignity and a tremendous credit to his country. "I am particularly pleased that we have managed to get justice for the appalling attack he suffered and the subsequent theft that has attracted derision from across the world." Widespread looting and violence spread from London across England over four nights last summer.

Miller Hendry said use of the Games symbol and all official branding associated with the event was regulated by law. Some words, phrases and mottoes are also covered - including generic terms such as 2014, Gold, Silver and Bronze. The law firm said companies should make themselves aware of the restrictions. Alan Matthew, a partner with Miller Hendry, which has no connection to the Games, said: "From 23 July until 3 August, we expect to see many businesses and organisations attempting to take advantage of the incredible hype surrounding the Commonwealth Games by running Games-related promotions, advertising campaigns and events. "But, before they do, they need to make sure they are fully aware of what is, and what is not, permitted to ensure they are not exposing themselves to serious commercial risk. "With the exception of official sponsors, businesses and organisations certainly cannot use any of the official branding on any advertising or promotional material or on any of their products, but they also can't use any key terms - many of which are broad and fairly general. "It is also unlawful to falsely represent any association or affiliation with the Commonwealth Games. "This poses a significant commercial risk to small businesses wishing to run Commonwealth Games-themed promotions during the events and the organising committee have already confirmed they intend to enforce their rights to protect their big-name sponsors. "Scottish businesses who may have 'chanced' it during the 2012 Olympics will find the policing of the Commonwealth Games branding right on their doorstep this year." However, Mr Matthew said the Commonwealth Games' regulations were not as clearly defined as those for the Olympics, "creating the potential for confusion". "An example of this is where the Olympics made a very clear provision for small businesses, like pubs, bars, lounges and hotels who were screening the events live on TV as an 'event'," he said. "For the Olympics, they had clear guidelines and official posters which could be downloaded to promote the events. "For the Commonwealth Games, there is no provision for this type of activity, which largely implies that anyone writing "See the Commonwealth Games Live Here" on a poster and popping it outside their local may be getting themselves into potentially murky legal waters." Mr Matthew said businesses and organisations were entitled to show support and enthusiasm for the Games "so long as this is done in a way which does not associate promotion of the business or organisation with the Games". "For example, businesses can display flags or national colours to show support for home or visiting nations, or hold an office party to celebrate the Games," he pointed out. A Glasgow 2014 spokeswoman said the event was a major opportunity for Scotland and Scottish business "to showcase itself to the world". "Since the Glasgow Commonwealth Games (Trading and Advertising) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 came into force last year, we have been working with businesses locally in and around our venues to make sure they can get the most out of the Games, be clear on what the regulations will mean for them and how they can be part this fantastic event," she added. "Glasgow 2014, in conjunction with legal advisers Harper Macleod LLP, have held a series of events and seminars letting business organisations know how they can prepare for the Games and maximise their engagement without infringing legislation or regulations. "It will be a special time and we want people to enjoy the Glasgow 2014 experience as much as possible." Homes and properties were searched in Bavaria, Berlin, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt during the pre-dawn operation, federal prosecutors say. Police were looking for three suspects - two of them are believed to be IS members and the third a supporter of the jihadist group. No arrests have been made. After suffering a series of deadly attacks last year, Germany has been in fear of further violence. On Tuesday, the authorities made an arrest linked to an alleged plot to murder a senior public figure.

Michael Kane was knocked unconscious by a single punch to the face when he was apparently helping two women. At Nottingham Crown Court earlier Ricky Scott, 29, admitted the attack but said he was protecting his girlfriend. East Midlands Ambulance Service said it appeared his treatment "fell short of the standard expected". Mr Kane was described by police as a good Samaritan when they released footage of him being knocked out by the blow in March. In the CCTV images, shown to the court, he is seen approaching two women before a man runs up and punches him. Scott, of Albany Road, New Basford, handed himself in to police after an appeal in the media, and at Nottingham Crown Court earlier he admitted the attack. But he said he was trying to protect his girlfriend who had been racially abused. Paramedics were called after Mr Scott made his own way back to his hotel but they did not consider his injuries to be serious, the court heard. But when his condition deteriorated, a friend took him to hospital where doctors discovered he had multiple fractures to his skull and jaw. In a statement, East Midlands Ambulance Service said: "It would appear that the service experienced by this gentleman fell short of the standard expected, and if this is the case then we are very sorry." Scott has been bailed on a charge for wounding and will be sentenced at a later date. The 23-year-old was part of Euro 2016 quarter-finalists Iceland's squad but did not make an appearance in France. Magnusson joined Juventus' academy in 2011 and has spent the past two years on loan at Italian side Cesena. "He's very mobile, quick and smooth on the ball. He's 6ft 3in and has a great left foot," head coach Lee Johnson told Bristol City's club website. "At the age of 23 has plenty of time to mature as a player." Chief operating officer Mark Ashton added: "It's been a real team effort from a number of people at the club to get this deal done and I look forward to welcoming him to Ashton Gate." Magnusson becomes City's fourth signing of the summer so far, joining forward Lee Tomlin, plus midfielders Gary O'Neil and Josh Brownhill.

Witnesses in several locations said masked gunmen pulled up in a car before opening fire. In many cases they checked the victims' names before shooting, or asked if they had criminal records. The authorities in Sao Paulo are investigating the possibility that they were targeted killings. The killings have all the hallmarks of revenge attacks - perhaps carried out by off-duty policemen or vigilantes - against drugs traffickers or known criminals, says the BBC's Wyre Davies. Two policemen were killed in the city last week. Police say the number of victims is much higher than in previous incidents. "I've never seen so many people killed overnight in Sao Paulo," a forensic expert told Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper. The attacks happened in the municipal areas of Osasco and Barueri. At least six other people were injured in the shootings. The authorities initially said 20 people had been killed, but the numbers have been revised down. Video footage shows masked gunmen pulling up in a car and opening fire in a bar in Osasco. Ten people were killed there. "This is very serious and merits a special investigation," said Sao Paulo state Security Secretary Alexandre de Moraes. "We don't rule out any possibility." A task force of 50 police officers has been set up to investigate the attacks. In May, a policeman and a former policeman were arrested in connection with the murder of eight men at a football fan club in Sao Paulo. The former policeman was accused of ordering the attack against supporters of the Corinthians football club. They were preparing banners ahead of a match in April when gunmen burst in. The yellow submarine is currently in Punta Arenas, Chile, and is due to sail for the Southern Ocean on Friday. Scientists will use the robot to survey cold, deep waters that help to regulate Earth's climate. The 3.5m-long sub was given the name that a public poll had suggested - but which ministers subsequently blocked - go on the JCR's replacement. No matter - there is still enormous interest in the humorous moniker and the autonomous vehicles that will carry it underwater. Southampton's National Oceanography Centre has built three robots in its new Autosub Long Range class, and all will be branded Boaty when they go out on an expedition. The subs can stay down for weeks on end. They have a depth rating of 6,000m and a range of 6,000km. The robots have proven their capabilities in a series of sea trials and are now open to the general scientific community to use. First up is a mission being run by the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Southampton. Their scientists plan to deploy Boaty to swim through a gap in the ocean floor ridge that extends northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Known as the Orkney Passage, this opening is the main gateway for dense, cold waters formed around the White Continent to move into the Atlantic. It is a key motor in the so-called "great ocean conveyor" - the relentless system of deep circulation that helps redistribute all the heat energy that has built up in the climate system. The passage floor is very rugged, and will challenge Boaty's autonomous systems to keep it safe. Mike Meredith from the British Antarctic Survey said: "Boaty's a very intelligent underwater system; it can sense the environment around it, so it knows the height it is above the seabed and it can map out its trajectory and its position in a very advanced way." Povl Abrahamsen is a co-investigator on the cruise and took the pictures on this page. He added: "This is the first time that Boaty will be used in this type of environment, and it certainly will bring challenges. "We're very much hoping that Boaty will help to give the spatial coverage that we can't really get from other methods." Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

The working group reported to ministers on 11 October, but its conclusions have not yet been published. A fatal foetal abnormality (FFA) diagnosis means medics believe an unborn child will die either in the womb or shortly after birth. Sinn Féin's Martin McGuiness has called for MLAs to legislate for FFA cases. Speaking after a British-Irish meeting in Wales last Friday, Martin McGuinness said he believed cases where there is no prospect of life were "challenging situations which need to be addressed". The deputy first minister supported the right of any family told they have a fatal abnormality to have their child. But he also backed the right of families unable to do that to access a termination. Mr McGuinness said opinion polls had shown people in Northern Ireland are "very compassionate about how such situations should be dealt with". Alliance Party leader Naomi Long has criticised the executive for its delay in publishing the report's recommendations. First Minister Arlene Foster confirmed she had seen the paper from the working group, which was originally commissioned by the DUP's former health minister Simon Hamilton. Mrs Foster recognised that "in a very small number of cases there are heartbreaking issues that have to be dealt with" and the executive needed to make appropriate provision for those matters. However she added that there is "no point making bad law to deal with one or two circumstances", adding that law should be made after considering all the implications. The first minister revealed she had already started the process of engaging with her own party about the conclusions of the working group's report and the evidence taken on the issue. Mrs Foster wouldn't confirm whether the working group had recommended a change in the law, but said she wanted to make sure that "women who find themselves in this very difficult circumstance have the care that they require". However, a Stormont source has now told the BBC the working group does recommend a change in the law and, depending on the DUP's internal discussions, a paper is ready to go to the executive either in late December or early January. The working group was chaired by Chief Medical Officer Michael McBride and consisted of six senior officials. The issue of fatal foetal abnormality has been in the headlines since October 2013 when Belfast woman Sarah Ewart revealed the harrowing details of her journey to England to seek a termination. Distill Ventures, which is part of the Diageo group, said it was investing an unspecified sum in Melbourne-based Starward Whisky. This marks the second whisky investment for Distill, which was set up to back early-stage brands and help them grow. Last week, it announced investment in Denmark-based Stauning Whisky. David Gates, Diageo's global head of premium core spirits, said: "Australian whisky has rightly been gaining increasing global recognition recently and Starward has developed a uniquely positioned whisky to capture this opportunity." Frank Lampen, co-founder of Distill Ventures, added: "The Starward team are exactly the types of entrepreneur we love working with. "Their vision for the future is really exciting and this investment will enable increased production of their signature single malts and continued development of their innovation pipeline." Last year Diageo had a 37% share of the Scotch whisky market in terms of volumes.

A group set up to examine NI abortion law has recommended legislative change in cases of fatal foetal abnormality, Stormont sources have told the BBC.

Calan Morrison, 29, raped one woman at houses in Fernhill, Glasgow, and at Galston, East Ayrshire. He indecently assaulted another victim at houses in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, and Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire. He also abducted two women who were left locked in a flat in Faifley, Clydebank. Sentence on Morrison was deferred and he was remanded in custody. Morrison, who has a previous conviction for sex with an underage girl, was also placed on the sex offenders' register. During his trial at the High Court in Edinburgh, Morrison accused the women of lying. One woman told the court how she was raped by Morrison in 2014. She told the jury: "I said 'no' about 100 times. I don't see how that could be consensual." Another woman told the court how Morrison had grabbed her hair and forced her to perform a sex act. One victim also said she was repeatedly locked in a flat by Morrison. "I could never take the dog out for a walk. The dog used to defecate in the house," she said. "There was electricity, but there was no heating. It was really cold," she said. The woman told the court how she managed to get out of the flat in 2005 after sending a text to an acquaintance and the door was eventually broken down. Another woman told Morrison's trial: "I was constantly locked in the house. He constantly wasn't there. I sat in the flat with no heating and no hot water." The woman said that during the period in 2004 she was left feeling that her self-esteem had hit "rock bottom". Hammond's treble, plus tries from Val Rapava Ruskin and Sam Betty, gave Warriors a 35-7 half-time lead. Further scores followed through Ben Howard, a penalty try which saw Enisei wing Igor Kurashov sent off, Sam Ripper-Smith and Max Stelling. Mikhail Gachechiladze and Valeri Morozov scored the Russians' tries. Kurashov was shown the red card 12 minutes from the end for illegally knocking the ball out of Hammond's hands as the Worcester wing threatened a fourth try. Worcester's victory means they climb above Enisei to finish third in Pool Three.

Hull said there is no timescale on the England international's return to playing. Mason said he felt "lucky to be alive" after having surgery following a clash of heads with Chelsea defender Gary Cahill on 22 January. After eight minutes of treatment on the pitch, he wore an oxygen mask as he was carried off on a stretcher. Mason had surgery at St Mary's Hospital in London, where he spent a week following the match. The incident happened as Hull's record signing attempted to head the ball clear of his own box following a cross from Pedro. Mason got to the ball a split second before Cahill, who was already committed to his attempted header, and the pair collided.

Speaking at the party's economic conference in Glasgow, John McDonnell described the government's austerity measures as "criminally destructive". He also said Labour would hold a summit next month on helping self-employed workers who face a rise in National Insurance, under new government plans. The formal process of Britain leaving the EU is expected to begin this week. Mr McDonnell said the Brexit vote had created "huge challenges" and warned that "crashing out of the EU" would mean Britain would be cut off from investment. "We will be cut off from our biggest trading partner. We will be cut off from the skills and contribution that EU nationals have made to our economy and society," he said. Calling for a "radically different approach", Mr McDonnell called not only for devolution in Scotland and Wales, but also for the English counties and regions, which he said should enjoy greater freedoms. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said it would be "absolutely fine" for Scotland to hold a second independence referendum. The shadow chancellor spoke of a "right to own", saying, under Labour, workers in a company facing a change of ownership would get first refusal on putting forward their own takeover plan. He also laid out his vision of giving "power back to the people" through letting local communities take control of their own energy supplies. The prime minister has set a deadline of 31 March for triggering article 50 of the Lisbon treaty which would start the formal process for Britain to leave the European Union. Mr McDonnell also further criticised Chancellor Philip Hammond's announcement of a rise in National Insurance (NI) for some self-employed workers, unveiled in last week's Spring Budget, saying it broke "a clear manifesto promise" not to raise taxes. He said Labour "had always been the party of workers, of artisans" and would produce a "radical" plan to deal with the growing number of people who work for themselves in the so-called gig economy where short-term contracts are common. He revealed that next month Labour will chair talks with unions, the self-employed and small businesses on how best to help self-employed workers, in the wake of the NI changes. "The Chancellor's decision to push a £2bn tax rise on low and middle-earner self employed made little sense. "You can't simply demand more taxes off people without offering something in return." A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are usual and organisations take out contracts with independent workers for short-term engagements. Mr Hammond has faced a backlash over his announcement of a 2% hike in Class 4 National Insurance contributions for some self-employed workers, which would mean 1.6 million people paying £240 more on average every year. The prime minister has said she remains "fully committed" to the NI changes and the independent think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies has backed the rise. The lifeboat was named Kiwi by the niece and great nephew of a New Zealand-born merchant seaman who was rescued by a lifeboat after he was torpedoed during World War Two. Reginald James Clark left £2.2m to the RNLI when he died in 2004. The boathouse has been in use since March and the lifeboat has completed 36 rescues, helping 45 people since 2013. Terry O'Cuneff, a relative of the Mr Clark, was among those at the ceremony. Moelfre RNLI operations manager Rod Pace said: "As a tribute to Reginald Clark's New Zealand roots and heritage, Bill Huaki from Bethesda performed the Haka on the stern of the lifeboat before the volunteers launched the Kiwi from the new boathouse."

GB have not qualified for the Olympics since 1948, when they were fifth. They still have to face Serbia and hosts Italy, with only the group winners progressing to the final stage of qualifying in September. Britain fell behind in only the third minute of Thursday's game, against the team relegated from Division 1B of the World Championship last year. But Russ Cowley levelled just 38 seconds later and David Phillips put GB ahead inside the first period. Matthew Myers gave the team a two-goal cushion but Netherlands equalised with two goals in 55 seconds. Cowley tapped in his second of the match before Colin Shields netted his 33rd international goal, but Netherlands twice levelled before Richardson's winner. "I hear people say that GB struggle to score goals, but here we proved we can score and score at important times," said coach Pete Russell. Meanwhile, GB's women beat Netherlands 3-0 in Sheffield with Chrissy Newman, captain Katie Henry and Georgina Farman scoring the goals. The teams meet again at the same venue on Friday in the second of two challenge games before Britain feature in World Championship Division II in Slovenia in April. A church near Dusseldorf has bought the instrument from Avenue Baptist Church in Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex. Minister Andrew Picton said sending it to Germany was a "remarkable symbol" of "Christian reconciliation" 100 years after the two countries were at war. The "rarely used" organ was sold as the church is being redeveloped. Avenue Baptist Church congregation raised money to fund the organ between 1919 to 1921 in memory of the 15 men from the church who died during World War One. It was made by organ manufacturers Henry Speechley and installed in 1921. However, the 120-year-old church is now being redeveloped "to make it more appropriate for 21st Century worship" and it was decided to sell the instrument. Rick Owen, from the church, said it was initially advised it would be hard to find a buyer and it was feared the organ would be scrapped. "Someone in Norfolk expressed an interest, but it fell through," he said. "Then a colleague posted its details on websites specialising in church organs - and within a week a German church got in touch." The church, Bauernkirche, in Iserlohn, decided that the organ "suited them perfectly". An organ builder sent from Germany will take three days to dismantle the instrument. The Baptist church declined to say how much it had received from the sale. The tourists were unable to add to their overnight lead of 191 as play was abandoned shortly after lunch. New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor has been ruled out of the second Test in Wellington with a calf injury, with Neil Broom in line to make his debut. Bowler Trent Boult will be monitored in the build-up to the game, which starts on 16 March, as he has a hip problem. Taylor could return for the final Test of the three-match series in Hamilton, which begins on 25 March.

Now it appears that their closer contact with animals could have an unexpected benefit - preventing asthma in children. A new study from the US compared the Amish with a similar community, the Hutterites, who use more modern farming methods. Both groups have similar genetic ancestry and follow similar diets, but childhood asthma rates differ strongly. About 5% of Amish schoolchildren tested in the study had asthma compared with 21.3% of the Hutterite children. The study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that children's immune systems in the Amish community were being bolstered by house dust that contained more microbes from farm animals. The findings echo other studies that have suggested that a lack of early exposure to microbes, caused by modern hygiene, increases the risk of allergy. The dust found in Amish homes was "much richer in microbial products," the study said. "Neither the Amish nor the Hutterites have dirty homes," said study co-author Carole Ober, professor and chairman of human genetics at the University of Chicago. "Both are tidy. The Amish barns, however, are much closer to their homes. Their children run in and out of them, often barefoot, all day long. There's no obvious dirt in the Amish homes, no lapse of cleanliness. It's just in the air and in the dust." Blood tests from 30 children from each community, aged seven to 14, showed that the Amish youngsters had more neutrophils - white blood cells crucial to fighting infections. The study found the Amish children also had fewer blood cells that promote allergic inflammation, known as eosinophils. Laboratory mice exposed to Amish house dust were also protected against asthma-like responses while similar experiments with dust from Hutterite homes gave no protection. Report co-author Erika von Mutius, professor at the Dr von Hauner Children's Hospital in Munich, said it was hoped that the research could help future generations of children. "We hope that our findings will allow the identification of relevant substances that will lead to completely novel strategies to prevent asthma and allergy," she said. A large study from Sweden last year found that young children in a family with a pet dog were less likely to develop asthma. The study, by JAMA Pediatrics, found that exposure to a dog in the first year of life was linked to a 13% lower risk of asthma in later childhood among the 650,000 children the authors tracked. It also found that living on a farm with lots of animals seemed to confer even more protection. Speaking at the time, lead scientist Prof Tove Fall, of Uppsala University in Sweden, said: "Our results confirmed the farming effect and we also saw that children who grew up with dogs had about 15% less asthma than children without dogs." But she warned against getting a pet to try to cure an already allergic child. "It won't work and will probably make the allergy worse," she said. 21 February 2017 Last updated at 06:57 GMT Do you think YOU could spot a fake news story?

Darryl Gittoes, 21, hit Mary Evans, 73, in Hereford city centre last July and she died in hospital nine days later, the Crown Prosecution Service said. Gittoes, who pleaded guilty to causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving, was jailed for 12 months. The defendant, of Homestead, Hereford, was riding a defective bike recovered from a scrap metal lorry, the CPS said. His bike was examined and found to have had no brakes, a deflated rear tyre, a cracked front tyre and no bell. Gittoes was jailed at Worcester Crown Court on Monday following his guilty plea on 18 May. The court heard he had been warned a number of times about riding his bike along Commercial Street, where a Traffic Regulation Order prohibits cycling between 10:30 and 16:30, including on the day before the collision. Emily Lenham, senior crown prosecutor from West Midlands CPS, said: "Darryl Gittoes was fully aware that his bike was not in a roadworthy condition and he knew of the prohibitions which were in force along Commercial Street, however, on 30 July 2014 he disregarded the previous warning he had received from the police and rode his bicycle along this street and in doing so, he collided with Mary Evans, knocking her to the ground. "Mrs Evans would later die due to the head injuries caused by the collision. "This case clearly highlights the dangers of riding a cycle in a pedestrian area and the tragic consequences of Mr Gittoes' actions should serve as a reminder to cyclists to take heed of prohibitions in place within such areas, which are necessary to preserve the safety of pedestrians." Vojtech Paloc, 40, failed to attend his trial in December but was convicted in his absence and jailed for nine-and-a-half years. He was handed over to Avon and Somerset Police by Czech police on Friday to serve his sentence in the UK. Det Con Haley Matthews said Paloc treated victims 'like commodities'. A jury at Bristol Crown Court found him guilty of two counts of trafficking people into the UK for sexual exploitation, two counts of controlling prostitution for gain and one count of conspiracy to facilitate a breach of immigration law relating to a sham marriage. He was convicted alongside Jiri Mizer, 33, of no fixed address, and Viera Sulcova, 39, from Gloucester, who were also jailed. Det Con Matthews said: "[These were] appalling offences involving the exploitation of women who were trafficked and then forced to become sex workers in east Bristol. "They were treated like commodities and one of the victims was told the only way she would be free would be to take part in a sham marriage. "The control Paloc and his associates had over these women was frightening." Police obtained a European Arrest Warrant and worked with the National Crime Agency, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Czech authorities, to track Paloc down.

Mothers pay Kathryn Beale, 41, from Swindon, to blend an 8cm (3in) long piece of their fresh placenta with fruit and juices. Her local council is concerned about hygiene standards but has failed to get court permission to halt the business. Miss Beale said she operated safely and had voluntarily stopped until health inspectors could meet her. "I understand that they have to make sure that all food business are running safely," said Miss Beale, a mother-of-two. "I think they have been a bit overzealous in trying to shut me down without doing a full inspection. I believe that I do it safely." She describes herself as a birth and postnatal doula, who runs support groups and is also an "IPEN-licensed placenta encapsulation specialist". As well as the smoothies, the services also includes dehydrating placenta and grinding it into powder for capsules which can be swallowed later. The encapsulation service costs £150, the smoothie is £20 extra and she also offers a £60-£80 service to set an umbilical cord in resin. The placenta is an organ attached to the lining of the womb during pregnancy, and linked to the baby by the umbilical cord. It passes oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood supply to the baby. Waste products from the baby, such as carbon dioxide, pass back along the umbilical cord to the placenta. After the baby is born, more contractions will push the placenta out - or it will be lifted from the womb during a Caesarean. Source: NHS Choices Swindon Borough Council said its officers attended court on 10 March "seeking a hygiene emergency prohibition order in respect of raw human placenta practices" but the order was not granted. "Our investigations continue and we are therefore unable to comment further at this stage." It explained its action by saying the health benefits were not clear and the processes involved present a number of potentially serious health risks. Miss Beale, who has been in the business for two years, said she had around two customers a month and added there were 50 people around the country offering similar services. "There is no eating of anyone else's placenta. It is all quite tightly controlled, stored properly and chilled," she said. "Everything has to be cleaned and sterilised and there is quite strict hygiene involved. "I only prepare placenta smoothies when I am with the mother in her home or at her private hospital room because she needs to drink it straight away." The house, at Derry Street in the County Armagh town, was attacked shortly after midnight. A number of shots were fired, damaging the front door and a front window. Police said a motive for the attack had yet to be established and appealed for anyone with any information to contact them.

Australian utility back Marc Koteczky, 25, has agreed a new contract, having played 16 times for the club in the Championship last season. He is joined by compatriot and former Australia Under-20s cap Ethan Ford. Ford, who is English-qualified through his grandmother, can play at centre, wing or full-back and played alongside Koteczky at Sydney-based club Randwick. "I'm looking forward to joining up with the Plymouth Albion squad and experiencing rugby in England," Ford said. "I've heard a lot of good things about the club and the city. I know Marc well from Randwick, so it will be great to play alongside him again. "I'm excited about the challenge that awaits." Plymouth Albion were relegated from the Championship in April after 13 years in English rugby's second tier. The 30-year-old had denied driving while more than twice the legal limit on 21 February. The Scottish songwriter had used "the hip flask defence", which suggested he had drunk alcohol after he had driven. A Scottish Police Authority forensic toxicologist had told the trial that "post-incident drinking" could increase alcohol readings. During a two-day trial at Paisley Sheriff Court, witness Colin May told the court he saw Nutini driving after ordering vodka in DeBeers bar. PC Laura Murray told the first day of the trial she was called to Canal Street towards midnight on 21 February to a report of a car being driven by someone who had allegedly been drinking. The car was no longer there when they arrived but they went to an address where they found a grey Mini and Nutini, who they had been told was the driver of the vehicle. After testing positive for alcohol following a breath test, Nutini was arrested and taken to Govan police station. Asked whether he mentioned drinking after returning home, she said: "He said he had had a mouthful of wine at home and this later changed to saying he had a mouthful of whisky." The court heard Nutini had a reading of 48 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath - more than double the 22mcg legal limit. Giving evidence, forensic toxicologist Karen Kerr had told the court she did a number of calculations on the alcohol level in Nutini's system. She explained the amount Nutini claimed he had drunk after driving would account for 31mcg. She said: "It's saying, had post-incident drinking not taken place, the result would have been 17[mcg] - it's in terms of the hip flask defence. "The 17 would've been caused by any other pre-incident drinking - drinking prior to the evidential result." She said the results of the breath test did not fit with his claims about how much he had to drink on the night in question but she conceded he may have been fit to drive at the time he was driving. "It is possible he would've been under the limit [22mcg] at the time of driving," she said. "He could be as high as 36[mcg] or as low as 14[mcg]. "I couldn't get 48[mcg] to lie within the range, based on the stated pattern of drinking." Sheriff Colin Pettigrew acquitted the musician and Nutini left the court without comment. Nutini's debut album, These Streets, was released in 2006 and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart, while the follow-up, 2009's Sunny Side Up, debuted at number one. Both albums were certified quintuple platinum and his third album, 2014-release Caustic Love, was also certified platinum after going to number one.

David Lee gave evidence during his trial Aberdeen Sheriff Court after the jury heard allegations that he exposed himself to ambulance co-workers. He denies 15 charges said to have taken place between 2013 and 2015, involving five alleged victims. The married father-of-one told the jury that he had slept with two of his co-workers who gave evidence against him. He said his relationship with one of the women developed into "play fights and tickling" but he denied propositioning her for sex. Mr Lee, 31, who is currently suspended from duty, has lodged a special defence claiming all activity was consensual. Earlier the jury heard from a female ambulance technician who was mentored by Mr Lee in summer 2015. The 26-year-old witness told the court that his behaviour changed after a couple of shifts together and he became "a bit sleazier and flirtatious". "He was like a puppy that always needed attention," she said. "He got some gloves down my top and asked if he could help get them back. "I was exhausted. He said to me 'this is what you do to me' and pointed down at his crotch. "He had an erection in the ambulance while he was driving. He just kept asking if I would touch it - saying that if I did then he'd leave me alone." She said he then exposed himself. During the same call-out to a patient's house in Banchory, Aberdeenshire, the witness said Lee attacked her in the back of the ambulance while she went to get her kit bag. During cross examination, defence advocate David Moggach accused the witness of engaging in "flirtatious behaviour" with Mr Lee. He said the sexual elements of her story "simply didn't happen" and that was why she had not reported the claims to managers until someone else voiced similar allegations about Lee's behaviour. The woman replied: "That's a complete lie. I felt too intimated to come forward." Mr Lee is alleged to have acted in a culpable and reckless manner towards women when they were behind the wheel of an ambulance. The trial, before Sheriff Graeme Napier, continues. The man was arrested in the Springfields area of Portadown after the murder of Michael and Majorie Cawdery on Friday. The couple, both 83, were found in their Upper Ramone Park home in Portadown by a relative. Police said they had been killed in a "very brutal attack". They are reported to have been stabbed. The extension was granted by a court on Sunday. Police have said their enquiries are ongoing. In a statement, the Cawdery family described the couple as "wonderful people" and their murder as "awful and incomprehensible".

It was discovered at the bottom of a wardrobe wrapped in a blanket after a science-fiction memorabilia collector died, Trevanion & Dean Auctioneers said. The puppet was sold earlier at an auction in Whitchurch, Shropshire. At its peak, the science-fiction series was attracting an audience of 100 million fans in 66 countries. Thunderbirds, which was first aired on TV screens in 1965, told the story of the Tracy family who form a secret organisation dedicated to saving human life. Auctioneer Christina Trevanion said the seller, the brother of the previous owner, had "looked and looked and looked" for the puppet after his brother's death, before finally finding it. Asked why the puppet was hidden in a wardrobe, the auctioneer said: "I think [the man] was very precious about her. "These things, if left out... would gather dust. Her wig is real hair. It would need constant cleaning. "She was the absolute star of [the man's] collection." She said plenty of replicas were made, but puppeteers on the 1960s TV series and leading UK puppet-makers had confirmed it as an original. Ms Trevanion added that the "utterly unique" puppet from "an iconic series" had generated interest from the US, Japan and New Zealand ahead of the auction. The auctioneer said: "People watched who were children in the 1960s. There was a generation which saw repeats in the 80s and 90s. "Every single generation has very fond memories of Thunderbirds." The Avon and Somerset and Wiltshire forces will form a "strategic alliance" in areas including IT, HR and administration. Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) said ruling out job cuts would be "foolish" but that the move did not herald a full merger. Avon and Somerset's PCC said some sharing "could protect local policing". Wiltshire and Swindon's Conservative PCC Angus Macpherson said he would be "very foolish" to rule out job cuts when millions of pounds in savings had to be found. But he said it was "absolutely not" the forerunner to a full merger. "There will be changes as we move forward...[but] I want to preserve the officers who respond to calls in Wiltshire and Swindon," Mr Macpherson said. "That's what I'm absolutely committed to doing." His Avon and Somerset counterpart, Sue Mountstevens, an Independent, said: "My job as PCC is that when we have cuts, [we] minimise the impact on local communities. "By doing this collaboration...by saving money in back-office, in specialist functions,... we're trying to lessen the impact on our frontline." On a visit to Somerset, the Prime Minister welcomed news that Avon and Somerset and Wiltshire police were going to work more closely together. David Cameron said: "I would praise the police because they have had to take difficult decisions over the last few years. "But crime in Somerset has fallen quite markedly, so the police have demonstrated that they can do more effectively with less and increase the percentage of officers on the front line." Mike White, from the Wiltshire Police Federation, said "We do have concerns as to how this will effect our members and the impact the inevitable cuts in staffing that this will lead to. "Ultimately cuts have consequences. We can only hope that this is a long-standing alliance and not the first step towards the disappearance of a historic and proud police force." Since 2010, the 43 police forces in England and Wales have seen their budgets reduced by 20%. Recently, the Avon and Somerset force sold off some of its police stations. It has had to save £47m over the past four years and more cuts are expected. Wiltshire Police needs to cut another £12m over the next few years.

The two-deck boat was travelling the Chao Phraya river at 16:00 local time (09:00 GMT) when the crash happened. It is said to have been carrying more than 100 people, many of them Muslim pilgrims. The accident occurred near the Wat Sanam Chai temple, a popular tourist destination. More than 30 people were injured and dozens are still missing. Passengers were travelling from Ayutthaya back to Nonthaburi, a suburb of the capital Bangkok, after attending an Islamic religious rite in the city, the Bangkok Post said. Correspondents say road and boat accidents are common in Thailand where safety standards can be well below international levels. The Chao Phraya is a busy commuter waterway, often packed with crowded boats. Jose Fonte's first goal for 18 months gave the hosts the lead, glancing in a header from Dusan Tadic's corner. Virgil van Dijk earlier saw a header cleared off the line, but he doubled the lead with a close-range prod. Vardy headed the Foxes back into the match, before blasting home his ninth of the season in injury time to keep the Foxes in fifth. Relive the match action here All the Premier League action and reaction Not judging by their second-half display. The Foxes have scored in every Premier League match this season and, sparked into life by the half-time introduction of forwards Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Dyer, they earned an unlikely point with a stunning final 45 minutes. Southampton were in complete control at half-time but, helped by the trickery of Mahrez and the clinical finishing of Vardy, the Foxes again showed they should never be ruled out. The draw is the seventh point Leicester have earned from a losing position this season. It would be very hard to leave the Leicester and England striker at home in the summer on this form. The 28-year-old, who was playing for Fleetwood in League Two in 2012, became just the fourth Englishman to score in six consecutive Premier League matches this century when he headed home to give the Foxes hope after the break. Before he hammered in a late equaliser, the striker shot over from close range and was a constant threat for Leicester after the break. Vardy, already in the England squad, is playing with a double fracture to his wrist, but looks determined to push his international cause with the likes of Liverpool's Danny Ings and Daniel Sturridge struggling with injury. He now has three more goals than any of his Premier League rivals. Media playback is not supported on this device The introduction of Leicester substitutes Mahrez and Dyer at the start of the second half changed the pattern of the game. Algerian Mahrez has been a key player for the Foxes this season and the forward proved so again, creating chance after chance playing just behind striker Vardy. It was his pass that created the equaliser while Swansea City loanee Dyer also made a big impact on the wing, crossing for Vardy's opener. Southampton should have had the game out of sight, with Sadio Mane delaying after rounding goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel when 2-0 up, but the hosts tired as the match wore on with all 10 of their starting outfield players involved in international duty in the past week. Southampton boss Ronald Koeman on BBC Sport: "It was a difficult game. Defensively we did well in the first half and we scored from set pieces. "But I expected a difficult second half because we know one of Leicester's strengths is unbelievable spirit and we have to be more clever. Media playback is not supported on this device "They deserved at least one point. They did two good changes after half-time. Mahrez created difficulties for us." Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri on BBC Sport: "We have fantastic spirit. We believe everything could be possible. "We created a lot of chances.

When we are desperate we make more, more and more." It doesn't get any easier for Southampton as they face a trip to Liverpool for Jurgen Klopp's first home match in charge of the Reds.

Mid-table Rochdale fell behind when Shaun Whalley drilled a low shot past Josh Lillis from just inside the area. The hosts doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when Whalley's corner was headed in at the far post by skipper Nat Knight-Percival. Jayson Leutwiler saved a long-range Ian Henderson drive to help Shrewsbury to a third clean sheet in four league games. Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire: "We've not won enough games here over the course of the season. It was important that we started to do that and it was a thoroughly deserved win. "The players were anxious to do well. We could feel that. We changed the shape a little bit and it probably allowed us to freshen it up in different areas. "The lads that have come in have added to the energy levels and got us going. The crowd, who we asked to get behind us, were terrific. They've helped as well." Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "We didn't start on the front foot. I don't think we can concede ground to Shrewsbury like we did in the first 20 minutes or so. "I don't feel as though we've been anywhere near the way that we started the last four games.

Tommy Ward died on 23 February 2016, almost five months after a violent robbery at his house in Maltby, South Yorkshire. About £30,000 was thought to have been stolen from his Salisbury Road home during the raid. New footage shows a Saab 93 twice driven past the ex-miner's property less than an hour before the attack. Det Ch Insp Victoria Short said the vehicle was seen turning right onto Salisbury Road from Grange Lane at about 05:15 BST on 1 October 2015. It drove past Mr Ward's house before making a U-turn and driving back down the road. It was later seen on CCTV turning back onto Grange Lane from Salisbury Road at 05:40. Ms Short said: "There is a 25-minute gap between the car arriving on Salisbury Road and leaving. Through extensive enquiries there is no evidence or suggestion as to why the vehicle would be parked up on the road at this time, or that it could have driven anywhere else in the surrounding area." Mr Ward was found badly beaten in his home before 07:00 GMT by a carer. He later died from his injuries in hospital. Ms Short added: "We know at 04:56 on the morning Mr Ward was attacked, there were no lights on at his property. "However, at 05:58 the property can be seen lit up and Mr Ward was discovered by his carer 45 minutes later." Ms Short said she "strongly" believed the vehicle was "connected to the attack". Three South Yorkshire men arrested on suspicion of murder in August were later released on bail without charge.

Much of the tension has focused on the al-Aqsa mosque compound, a hugely important site in Islam and Judaism. The militant Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas had called for a "day of rage" over al-Aqsa. Palestinians have also been angered by Israeli plans that could allow police to open fire on stone-throwers. An Israeli motorist died earlier in the week in an accident apparently caused by a rock-throwing attack in Jerusalem. Several security incidents were reported on Friday: The al-Aqsa mosque compound itself was reported to be quiet on Friday. Israeli police set up checkpoints outside the site, limiting the age of worshippers to 40 and above for men. The compound - known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif - is the holiest site in Judaism, and contains the al-Aqsa Mosque - the third holiest site in Islam. Tensions have been running high in Jerusalem since Israel banned two Muslim groups which confront Jewish visitors to the compound. Jing-Yueh Huang-Porterfield alleged that a manager at the Wah Hep Chinese Community Association in County Armagh, made sexually offensive remarks. She said she contacted the Equality Commission after reading an article on the BBC News NI website. Her former employer in Craigavon said it sincerely regretted any upset felt. Mrs Huang-Porterfield, from Portadown in County Armagh, was an administration worker at the welfare centre between February 2015 and October 2016. She said she raised a grievance with her employer but became ill due to the stress of the situation and felt she had no option but to resign. "The men would always joke around in a sexual way which made me uncomfortable and upset," she said. "It started to get more and more serious so I decided to take action." Her husband flagged up an online story about two sisters who settled sexual harassment claims against a fast food restaurant in Belfast. The couple decided to contact the Equality Commission, which oversees the Northern Ireland's equality laws. "Just because I am female doesn't mean I should go into work and be bullied," she said. "We are trying as hard as anyone else to survive and make a difference. "We don't need to take this kind of rubbish." She added that she was happy with the outcome, particularly her former employers' agreement to work with the Equality Commission. The Equality Commission, which helped bring the case, said it had "impacted on her dignity at work". "The crucial thing for Jing was that these comments were unwanted - it was uninvited by her," said Anne McKernan, director of legal services at the Equality Commission. "She felt that this effectively led to her feeling belittled, demeaned and diminished in the workplace." The Wah Hep Chinese Community Association has said it will liaise with the commission to review its equal opportunities and sexual harassment policies and procedures. It also affirmed its commitment to the principle of equality of opportunity in employment. Mrs Huang-Porterfield said she was now moving on with her life and praised the commission for its assistance. "It is great you can access these organisations for help and advice," she said. "We moved from Taiwan and we did not move thousands of miles to be bullied, so that's why I thought I had to do something about it."

The Direct Energie rider took advantage of a lapse in concentration from Team Sky's Nicolas Roche to beat the Irishman in a sprint finish. Roche was also second in the overall standings, six seconds behind Voeckler. Bury's Adam Yates (Orica) was Britain's highest finisher, as he was third in the stage and fourth overall. Sunday's final stage, a 198km route from Middlesbrough to Scarborough, contained six categorised climbs. Team Sky set a punishing pace in wet and gruelling conditions after taking it on at half distance and with 44km to go they had five riders at the head of the leading group. Roche attacked on the ascent at Harwood Dale and took with them Voeckler, Yates, Anthony Turgis (Cofidis) and Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL). It was Voeckler who clung on the to back of Roche as the Team Sky sprinter attacked again in the descent into Scarborough. Voeckler, who finished third last year after missing out in a sprint finish, used that experience to employ some cat and mouse tactics, as he tracked Roche along the resort's seafront in front of huge crowds on the town's famous grass banks. Roche suffered a momentary lapse in concentration, causing him to look the wrong way as Voeckler flew past him with the finishing line in sight to leave his rival in his wake. Voeckler told ITV4: "It wasn't just with the strength in my legs that I used, but also my head. "It was difficult to follow the attack of Team Sky at the climbs, so I decided on a little more patience. "Then I knew to launch the sprint at 300 metres. Although it was early, with the wind at my back, it was not so bad." And in a tribute to the Yorkshire public that came out in huge numbers despite persistent drizzle, he added: "I feel like this is home because the crowd were shouting my name." The Tour de Yorkshire is a legacy of the county's hosting of 2014 Tour de France's Grand Depart. More than two million people are estimated to have lined the three-day route. Miqdad Al-Nuaimi was suspended in May over tweets including: "Jews in whose name #Israeli #Zionist regime commit war crimes should worry: its's same arrogant mentality as #nazis". The Iraqi-born councillor has now been told by letter he has been cleared. "I feel great," he told BBC Wales. "I've always campaigned against all forms of racism and discrimination." Mr Al-Nuaimi, a councillor for the Stow Hill ward, had been suspended as part of an internal Labour inquiry into anti-Semitism launched following outrage at comments by the former London mayor Ken Livingstone. The councillor insisted he had a right to be critical of Israel, saying at the time of his suspension: "How can I be anti-Semitic when I myself am Semitic?" After learning he had been cleared, Mr Al-Nuaimi said: "The lifting of the suspension has vindicated my stand. "I make personal tweets - people might construe the wrong meaning. "I suppose that's a lesson for me. "In politics, we sometimes have to say things other people may not like." Speaking of his two-month suspension, Mr Al-Nuaimi said: "It did have practical consequences on my role as a councillor. "But the Newport Labour group was very supportive."

He was speaking on the eve of a debate in the German parliament on the issue. The Armenian Church earlier canonised 1.5 million Armenians it says were killed in massacres and deportations by Ottoman Turks during World War One. Turkey disputes the term "genocide", arguing that there were many deaths on both sides during the conflict. On Friday commemorations will mark the 100th anniversary of the killings. Speaking at a church service in Berlin, President Gauck said: "The fate of the Armenians stands as exemplary in the history of mass exterminations, ethnic cleansing, deportations and yes, genocide, which marked the 20th Century in such a terrible way." Mr Gauck, who holds a largely ceremonial role, added that Germans also bore some responsibility "and in some cases complicity" concerning the "genocide of the Armenians". Germany was an ally of the Ottoman Empire during World War One. His comments come as the German parliament, the Bundestag, prepares to debate a motion on the 1915 massacres. But instead of a clear statement of condemnation, politicians will discuss an opaque, tortuously-worded sentence, which aims to be unclear enough to keep everyone happy - with the sort of convoluted phrasing that the German language is so good at, the BBC's Damien McGuinness in Berlin reports. Germany joins Armenia genocide debate Earlier on Thursday, the Armenian Church said the aim of the canonisation ceremony near the capital Yerevan was to proclaim the martyrdom of those killed for their faith and homeland. After the ceremony, bells tolled in Armenian churches around the world. The beatification at the Echmiadzin Cathedral did not give the specific number of victims or their names. It is the first time in 400 years that the Armenian Church has used the rite of canonisation. The use of the word "genocide" to describe the killings is controversial. Pope Francis was rebuked recently by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for describing it as the "first genocide of the 20th Century". On Friday, a memorial service will be held in Turkey and its prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, has said the country will "share the pain" of Armenians. However, he reiterated Turkey's stance that the killings were not genocide. "To reduce everything to a single word, to put responsibility through generalisations on the Turkish nation alone... is legally and morally problematic," he said. Mr Davutoglu did acknowledge the deportations, saying: "We once again respectfully remember and share the pain of grandchildren and children of Ottoman Armenians who lost their lives during deportation in 1915." Hundreds of thousands of Armenians died in 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, whose empire was disintegrating. Many of the victims were civilians deported to barren desert regions where they died of starvation and thirst. Thousands also died in massacres. Armenia says up to 1.5 million people were killed. Turkey says the number of deaths was much smaller. Most non-Turkish scholars of the events regard them as genocide - as do more than 20 states, including France, Germany, Canada and Russia, and various international bodies including the European Parliament. Turkey rejects the term genocide, maintaining that many of the dead were killed in clashes during World War One, and that many ethnic Turks also suffered in the conflict. After restricting Sri Lanka to 150-4 in Dhaka, Pakistan's top order hit form to reach 151-4 in 19.2 overs. Umar Akmal top-scored with 48 off 37 balls after Sharjeel Khan (31) and Sarfraz Ahmed (38) laid the foundation. Tillakaratne Dilshan was the star performer in Sri Lanka's innings, scoring 75 from 56 balls. The victory is Pakistan's second in the competition and leaves them third in the points table, behind leaders India and second-placed hosts Bangladesh, who will face each other in Sunday's final at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.

The Taliban said they were behind the blast, which also injured two US soldiers and a contractor. US officials said the troops were meeting a local Afghan leader when they were targeted by a fighter riding a motorbike rigged with explosives. Attacks on foreign troops have risen in recent months as forces have withdrawn. Nato formally ended its combat operations last year, but 9,800 US troops remain in Afghanistan. US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said the bombing was "a painful reminder of the dangers our troops face every day in Afghanistan". The attack happened in a village close to Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. To date, 16 US service members have been killed in combat this year, but most of those deaths were due to aircraft crashes, according to the Pentagon. In October, a helicopter crash killed six US service members in Jalalabad. "We're deeply saddened by this loss," Brig Gen Wilson Shoffner said in a news release. "Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of those affected in this tragic incident, especially during this holiday season." The incident is under investigation, according to the release. In southern Afghanistan, reports suggest that Taliban militants are getting close to taking Sangin, a strategically important town. The Taliban have said they controlled most of the town, with the main administrative building abandoned. The attack comes after US President Barack Obama has reversed his policy in Afghanistan, announcing that up to 10,000 service members will remain in Afghanistan by the end of his presidency. Three Afghan police were also wounded in the bombing. A few days ago, there were suicide attacks on the Kandahar air base in southern Afghanistan, and on a Spanish embassy property in Kabul. The movie, based on the popular children's book series, took $23.5m (£15.2m) in its first three days.

Steven Spielberg's cold-war thriller Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks, opened at number three with $15.4m (£10m). Guillermo del Toro's gothic horror romance Crimson Peak did not fare as well in the Halloween period, debuting at four with $12.8m (£8.3m). However with an R-rating - where those under 17 need to be accompanied by a parent of guardian to see the film - it was expected to have a more limited audience than the PG-rated Goosebumps. 'Horrendous result' This weekend also saw the release of Cary Fukunaga's drama Beasts of No Nation, about child soldiers in Africa. After making headlines earlier this year when Netflix bought the distribution rights for $12m (£7.8m), the film was simultaneously released in cinemas and on the streaming platform. But the film, starring Idris Elba, only made $50,699 (£32,800) across the 31 cinemas it was shown at, averaging $1,635 (£1,057) per theatre. Although rival distributors called it "a horrendous result", Netflix told Deadline it would not release information about the film's streaming performance, but added it was "very happy". It is understood the film was given a limited theatrical release to qualify it for the upcoming awards season. In a limited release, abduction drama Room also earned a respectable $120,000 (£77,600) from four screens.

Moneysupermarket's dancing bodyguard Gary, twerking businessman Dave and dancing builder Colin were all in the top 10, the advertising watchdog said. The Paddy Power advert was first shown in 2010 but still drew 450 complaints. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said none on the list "crossed the line" from bad taste to offence. Three Moneysupermarket price comparison website adverts attracted 2,491 complaints between them. Some viewers found the bodyguard's dance moves "distasteful", and the ads with the businessman and the builder as homophobic. Source: Advertising Standards Authority An advert for dating website Match.com showing a woman removing her female partner's top and kissing her received 896 complaints. It was seen as sexually explicit and inappropriately scheduled. The Paddy Power advert featured men playing blind football and inadvertently kicking a cat due to the sound of a bell round its neck. The ASA had already ruled the majority of viewers would see the advert as humorous and not humiliating or undermining to blind people, and so did not investigate it again. The bookmaker's advert about Scottish football fans not minding not qualifying for Euro 2016 - because they could bet on England to lose - was complained about for being racist and anti-English. Also in the top 10 were Smart Energy's Gaz and Leccy cartoon characters, the Home Office's Disrespect Nobody domestic violence campaign, Maltesers featuring a woman in a wheelchair and Gourmet Burger Kitchen's references to giving up vegetarianism. The complaint about the Home Office's ad was that it implied only men were responsible for domestic abuse and it could discourage male victims from coming forward. ASA chief executive Guy Parker said: "The ads that attract the highest number of complaints are often not the ones that need banning. "Our action leads to thousands of ads being amended or withdrawn each year, mostly for being misleading, but there wasn't one misleading ad in the top 10. "In the list there are a number of ads, which while advertising their product or service, have also sought to present a positive statement about diversity but were in fact seen by some as doing the opposite. "In all those cases, we thought people generally would see the ads in a positive light and that the boundary between bad taste and serious or widespread offence had been navigated well enough, often through using sensible scheduling restrictions." A Moneysupermarket campaign also topped the most-complained-about list in 2015. Murphy, 24, has scored one goal in three appearances for the Latics this season and has joined the Reds on a 93-day loan deal. The former Arsenal trainee moved to Oldham in February after a successful spell at Dagenham & Redbridge. Meanwhile Jenkins, 24, will remain with the League Two side until January. He left the Hornets last summer after scoring two goals in 95 appearances during his spell at Vicarage Road. Since then, Jenkins has spent time in the USA where he had a trial with Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire.

Director General Lord Hall was among senior managers giving evidence to the assembly's culture committee. The BBC's new charter includes an extra £8.5m for BBC Wales programming, while BBC Scotland will get a new TV channel with £19m new investment and a £30m total annual budget. Lord Hall said the BBC had considered the "very different needs of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland." He added that BBC Wales director Rhodri Talfan Davies had conducted "extensive research" and had found a lack of appetite for a so-called Welsh Six news programme that would encompass world, UK and Welsh news. Lord Hall said: "We did see issues around the reach of our services, particularly the changes we have made to the availability of Radio Wales fits into that. "We also wanted to ensure that we were building up the English language programming on BBC One Wales. "That seemed to me, and to Rhodri, the right answer to the Welsh issue which is: how we can do more in the English language to the whole of Wales? And BBC One Wales, because it is doing so well, seems the best route to that, rather than going down the route of a new channel as we have done in Scotland." Labour AM Lee Waters said the BBC had created "a beast you are going to have to feed" by introducing a new channel in Scotland, which "will forever put us at a disadvantage in terms of investment." Lord Hall rejected the claim, and added later that extra funding for the BBC's national services came at a time of cuts in other areas of the broadcaster's operations. "The additional investment we have made in Wales, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland, are the only additional commitments we have made through our savings programme to more funding. "As you know, the BBC overall has a flat funding settlement for the next five years. These are, so far, the only commitments we have made and that's because I believe very strongly in what we are trying to do in the nations and regions." Asked about a previous commitment to consider introducing opt-out news bulletins for Wales on Radio 1 and Radio 2, Lord Hall said technology was proving a "block" to the plans as FM transmitters overlapped national borders. "We have got an issue here - it's really difficult, if we could achieve it I would like to achieve it. We have run up against technical issues. "There's no way of breaking the FM transmission so that you give Bristol and the Somerset zone what they want, and what we would like to deliver to Cardiff and the zone around Cardiff. We can't find a way around it. We want to find a way around it - this is not about money or policy, we are trying to find a way around it." BBC Cymru Wales director Rhodri Talfan Davies said changing FM transmitters in Wales could impact the radio services of around a million listeners in England. He said: "It's a huge problem, and it's a problem of geography. We know that around 60% of the population of Wales lives within around 40 miles of Cardiff. And if the frequencies (from transmitters in Wales) cannot be prevented from reaching south west England, there are around a million listeners in the Bristol area who are dependent on the frequencies that come from Wales." "That's not a matter of building new transmitters. The problem is that additional FM spectrum is not available." Transport minister Keith Brown said Abellio, Arriva, FirstGroup, MTR and National Express had passed the pre-qualification stage of the process. ScotRail provides passenger train services throughout Scotland. FirstGroup currently holds the franchise, which is due to expire on 31 March 2015. ScotRail operates more than 2,000 train services a day, delivering more than 76 million passenger journeys and 1.6 billion passenger miles a year. The franchise employs a total of 4,300 staff. Mr Brown said the five shortlisted companies had demonstrated, in their responses to the pre-qualification questionnaire, "an understanding of, and a commitment to realise, our ambitions for a transformed rail service". He added: "I am convinced that this strong competition will deliver a great public rail service for the people of Scotland." A draft invitation to tender will be published on 19 November.

He was one of the pioneers of in vitro fertilisation, known as IVF, alongside his colleague Dr Patrick Steptoe. Sir Robert, who has died aged 87, was born in Batley outside Leeds in September 1925. World War II and service in the British Army delayed his eventual emergence in the scientific world. In 1951 he graduated from the University of Bangor in Wales and then completed his doctorate at the University of Edinburgh in 1955. It was at Edinburgh that he met his wife Ruth. Around this time he began to work on the processes of fertilisation - that critical moment when a man's sperm and a woman's egg join to create new life. Animal studies had shown that it was possible to fertilise an egg in a laboratory instead of inside the body. The team of Dr Steptoe and Prof Edwards were trying to achieve the same results in people. It took until 1968 for the first glimmers of success. They fertilised an egg, which then began to develop and reached the blastocyst stage after five to six days. Prof Edwards said: "I'll never forget the day I looked down the microscope and saw something funny in the cultures. "I looked down the microscope and what I saw was a human blastocyst gazing up at me. I thought, 'We've done it'". However, there would be another decade of trials and tribulations before the first test-tube baby. Their work was refused funding by the UK's Medical Research Council in 1971 and they had to rely largely on private donations to continue their work. It was also vigorously opposed by groups including the Catholic Church and scientists were concerned about abnormalities in any babies born through these procedures. There were many failed attempts, the first pregnancy was ectopic, but one of the childless couples treated were Lesley Brown and her husband John. They had been trying to conceive for nine years, but now she was pregnant. The media storm was intense. "We were concerned that she would lose the baby, the foetus, because the press were chasing Mrs Brown all over Bristol where she lived," said Prof Edwards in 2008. "So, secretly Patrick Steptoe hid the mother in his car and drove her to his mother's house in Lincoln - the press didn't know where she was." In 1978, at Oldham and District General Hospital, a tiny baby was introduced to the world. The birth of Louise Brown, the first test tube baby, changed the world forever. Being infertile was no longer a guaranteed barrier to having a child. Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe would then set up the first IVF clinic - Bourn Hall in Cambridgeshire - in 1980. The opposition to IVF lessened with time and the procedure is now commonplace. By 2012, more than five million children had been born through assisted reproductive techniques around the world. Dr Patrick Steptoe died in 1988. It was a long wait for a Nobel Prize, which was awarded to Prof Edwards for medicine in 2010. A knighthood followed the year later. He was one of the giants of science in the 20th Century and pioneered the techniques which have given children to millions of couples. The 20-year-old, who primarily plays as a left-back, has agreed a two-year contract with the National League side. Scales, who has previously spent time on loan at Crawley Town, graduated through Norwich City's academy before joining Crystal Palace in 2014.

The posts will be lost in the Factual and Music department which currently has 110 members of staff. BBC Wales said the changes reflected a reduction in output as a result of the Delivering Quality First (DQF) programme of savings. Savings of more than £10m are required by 2017. A BBC Wales spokesperson said: "This has been a very difficult decision and we will work closely with staff to try to minimise the personal impact of these changes. "The proposed post closures in the 110-strong department (which includes 80 permanent posts) reflect the changing production requirements for local and network TV production, and follow a review of future staffing levels. "The changes also reflect an overall reduction in local production output as a result of the DQF savings introduced after the last licence fee settlement." The spokesperson added that the department had a strong track record in local and network production across television and radio, including X-Ray, Crimewatch and The One Show. The BBC is briefing unions on the proposals and will look for opportunities to redeploy staff affected wherever possible. As part of the DQF savings plan, BBC Wales is required to deliver savings totalling £10.7m by 2017. In 2011, BBC Wales announced that it expected almost 100 posts to close over a four-year period. To date, the broadcaster has successfully redeployed 46 staff members facing the potential risk of redundancy as a result of DQF.

With Donald Trump elected as the next president, the Republicans retained their majorities in the House and Senate. Republican dominance over Congress in principle enables Mr Trump to turn his policy plans into law. But how easily this will happen is unclear given that key party leaders had refused to back him. The night began with majority control of the Senate up for grabs, with 34 of the 100 seats available. But the Democrats have so far gained just one seat in the Senate, with Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee Iraq war veteran, taking Mark Kirk's place in Illinois. During a TV debate last month Mr Kirk mocked Ms Duckworth's Thai heritage, but later apologised. Another bright spot was in Nevada, which Cortez Masto retained for the Democrats, beating Republican Joe Heck to become the first Latina US senator. The final Senate seat to be declared is New Hampshire, where the result is said to be very close and where Democrat Maggie Hassan has declared victory over incumbent Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte. Elsewhere Republicans hung on to other key seats: Democrats also failed to significantly dent Republican advantage in the House, with just five Republican incumbents losing. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had distanced himself from Mr Trump after previously endorsing him, won re-election to the House of Representatives in Wisconsin. "We are eager to work hand-in-hand with the new administration to advance an agenda to improve the lives of the American people." Mr Ryan told supporters. Ilhan Omar became the US' first Somali-American legislator, with victory in a House race in Minnesota. She came to the US while still a child, escaping Somalia's civil war with her family and spending four years in a Kenyan refugee camp. And in Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto, the former state attorney general, was elected as the first Latina US senator. In other developments, the controversial Republican sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, was voted out after he was charged with contempt for ignoring a judge's order to stop patrols targeting Latinos.

Walker, 23, was injured in a collision and taken to Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died on Friday. "We are grieving the loss of a special young man," said the Ravens on Twitter, of Walker, who was drafted in 2015 and played eight games last season. "Tray was a young man with a good and kind heart," added Ravens coach John Harbaugh in a statement. "He was humble and loved everything about being part of the Ravens' team. He loved his team-mates, the practice and the preparation, and that showed every day. "He was coachable, did his most to improve and worked to become the best. I'll never forget that smile." But the battle for second place seems to be hotting up, with opinion polls suggesting that Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservatives are currently neck and neck. Here, John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University and the chief commentator at whatscotlandthinks.org.uk, looks at what the polls have been saying, and what we should be reading into them. One of the first rules in the reporting of opinion polls is that those that purport to show a change in who is ahead and who is behind secure much more publicity than do those that suggest that little, if anything has changed. The exceptional is more interesting than the mundane. However, the exceptional may be just that - unrepresentative of the real picture, a "rogue" poll that misleads rather than informs. So what should we make of the poll from YouGov in Thursday's edition of the Times that has been widely reported as showing that the Conservatives have, for the first time since the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, overtaken Labour in voting intentions for this coming May's Holyrood election? Such an outcome would constitute an earthquake in Scottish politics. Not since 1959 have the Tories managed to outpoll Labour in a national election north of the border. Well, first of all, the YouGov poll does not constitute clear evidence that the Tories have overtaken Labour. True, with 20% of the vote to Labour's 19%, the party is put slightly ahead in the battle for constituency votes. But given the random variation to which all polls are subject, this statistically is simply a dead heat. We just cannot be sure which of the two parties is ahead. Meanwhile on the second of the two votes that voters will be invited to cast in May, that is, for a regional list, the poll did actually put the two parties neck and neck in 20% each. At the same time, no other poll has suggested the two parties are even equal with each other. Perhaps then it is but no more than a "rogue". That said, YouGov is not alone in one respect. In recent weeks every single poll has identified a modest but noticeable increase in Conservative support. Since the beginning of the year four companies have conducted polls of vote intentions for May's election. On average they have put the Conservatives on 17.5% (on both ballots). But when those same four companies polled back at the beginning of September they credited the Conservatives on average with just over 14%. While the result of one poll might be dismissed as an aberration, when four polls all point in the same direction we can be pretty sure that something really has happened. Meanwhile, Labour's support, already much diminished, has ebbed away yet further over the same period. Back in September Labour was averaging between 21% and 22%. Now the party stands between 19% and 20%. The party has apparently slipped by another couple of points. Between them the three point increase in Conservative support and a two point drop in Labour is enough to ensure that all the polls agree that the Conservatives are now breathing down Labour's neck, even if they may not necessarily as yet caught them up. But there are of course still three months to go to polling day. Perhaps the slow Tory advance will continue, in which case maybe they will be able to edge past Labour. But equally, of course, Labour might recover - and avert the threat that Ruth Davidson's party currently apparently poses. Read more analysis from John Curtice at What Scotland Thinks.

Daniel Foss, 37, of Reynoldston, Gower, died on 24 September 2013. An inquest on Friday heard he did not look before he stepped out in front of the coach on Kingsway. Recording a narrative conclusion, coroner Colin Phillips said the road's "unusual" layout and the coach's speed were contributory factors. Mr Phillips, Swansea's acting deputy coroner, said the coach was a travelling at about 31mph when Mr Foss was hit, but added he was sure the main reason for Mr Foss's death was because he was not looking in the direction the traffic was coming from. He added: "It was not possible to swerve because of oncoming traffic. Stopping a coach in a split second is impossible." During the inquest, road safety consultant Mark Steventon also said the road layout played a part in Mr Foss's death. "In my experience, pedestrians pay very little attention to road signs or road markings," he said. Mr Steventon also suggested a number of safety improvements for the road, including traffic calming measures and raised and staggered pedestrian crossings forcing pedestrians to look into the direction of oncoming traffic. Previously, cars and lorries were restricted to one-way traffic, but buses and taxis used a separate two-way section. Speaking after the inquest, Sgt Gareth Morgan read a statement on behalf of Mr Foss's family. He said: "We have lost a beloved son, brother and uncle... We are relieved to see that the layout of the Kingsway has been changed and we hope this will now prevent further fatalities on this stretch of road. "It is devastating that it took Daniel's life and the life of Sgt Louise Lucas before consideration was given to the dangers that this unconventional road posed to pedestrians." On 31 March 2015 Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, died after being hit by a bus on the same road leading to barriers being installed and a one-way system was introduced on 1 November. Mr Phillips added: "I am sure the main reason for the death is Mr Foss stepped into the road without looking in the direction the traffic was coming from, in contravention of the red traffic signal." Swansea council spokesman said: "We'd again like to extend our condolences to Mr Foss's family and friends at this difficult time. "We will now consider the coroner's findings in more detail to determine whether more action is needed." The spokesman added changes had been made to the road layout including making it one-way, installing safety barriers and reducing the speed limit to 20mph. Fire crews were called to the blaze, in the second floor flat at Rowan House on Bishport Avenue, in Hartcliffe at about 12:00 BST on Monday. An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said they were treating the death of the man, who was in his 40s, as "unexplained". He said the force was continuing its inquiries on behalf of the coroner's office.

K Sri Devi accuses the airline of negligence and breach of contract. Her lawsuit also names Malaysia's civil aviation authority and air force for losing track of the plane with 239 people on board on 8 March 2014. Many more similar lawsuits are expected before a two-year filing deadline set by a global aviation agreement. In the lawsuit, Ms Devi - together with her two sons and parents-in-law - alleges wrongful death of her husband, S Puspanathan, due to negligence and breach of contract by Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government authorities. "They were waiting for some development in the search for the plane but nothing has been forthcoming so far. Everyone is hoping for some answers through the court," her lawyer, Shailender Bhar, told the Associated Press news agency. Several other relatives of some of the passengers on board MH370 have either already filed or are preparing to file similar claims in other countries, reports say. The 1999 Montreal Convention allows each next-of-kin of an air crash victim to claim up to 113,100 special drawing rights (SDR), a mix of currency values established by the International Monetary Fund. The value - which changes regularly - currently equals to about $157,000. However, a plaintiff filing a lawsuit can seek more. Flight MH370 disappeared during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There were 227 passengers on board, including 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians, according to the manifest. Seven were children. Based on satellite communications data, the plane is thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but only one piece of debris from the aircraft has ever been found, on the French island of Reunion. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Wednesday promoted Mr Wyatt to an aged care and indigenous health portfolio, following a government reshuffle triggered by an expenses scandal. "His extensive knowledge and experience as a senior public servant in indigenous health, coupled with his work as an assistant minister in this portfolio, makes him an ideal minister for this area," Mr Turnbull said. Greg Hunt, who takes up health and sport in the reshuffle, described Mr Wyatt's appointment as a "signature moment for Australia". Mr Wyatt said he was deeply honoured to take on "two crucial portfolios". A former teacher and public servant, Mr Wyatt joined the Liberal Party before claiming the Western Australian seat of Hasluck by fewer than 1,000 votes in 2010. In his maiden speech to parliament, Mr Wyatt, wearing a kangaroo skin coat, credited education with offering him the chance to succeed in life. "I have been a battler for most of my life but I have always driven myself to be successful in order to achieve my dreams," he said. During the speech he thanked Kevin Rudd, a former Labor prime minister, for his 2008 official apology to the Stolen Generations - the thousands of indigenous children who were forcibly removed from their families by successive governments until the late 1960s. Mr Wyatt's mother, Mona, was among them. "My mother and her siblings, along with many others, did not live to hear the words delivered in the apology, which would have meant a great deal to them individually," Mr Wyatt said, adding he shed tears during the apology. He also paid tribute to his father, Don, who served in World War Two before working on West Australia's railways, for helping to raise the family's 10 children. Mr Wyatt was returned to his seat in federal elections in 2013 and 2016, and was appointed the assistant minister for health and aged care in September 2015. His electorate covers a 1,192 sq km (460 sq miles) area extending from Perth's east. He backed the rise of Mr Turnbull, who ousted predecessor Tony Abbott in 2015, but has praised Mr Abbott's work in indigenous affairs. Mr Wyatt has supported the push to recognise indigenous Australians in the constitution. He has resisted calls within his own party to repeal a controversial racial discrimination law that makes it illegal to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate" people on the basis of race, colour or ethnic origin. Despite making a strong argument against the push in August, Mr Wyatt has since made comments suggesting he could be prepared to support it. The Guardian said Mr Wyatt was one of five current indigenous Australians in parliament, along with Labor politicians Pat Dodson, Malarndirri McCarthy and Linda Burney, and independent Jacqui Lambie.

Prince Charles sampled food and drink including a Duke of Lancaster's Regiment sausage and Hen Harrier golden ale as he toured the Ribble Valley. Hundreds of people lined Clitheroe town centre to meet the prince who was treated to a preview of produce for this summer's popular food festival. "There are some very brave people standing out in Clitheroe," he said. Prince Charles met local food producers and traders who showcased their goods during a promotional event for Clitheroe Food Festival, which attracts thousands of people from across the UK. The heir to the throne was offered a leek and black pudding sausage and also a marmalade one, which he did not appear keen on, at Cowman's Famous Sausage Shop. He settled on the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment sausage and said: "I think I will have another of those," quipping: "It's not even lunchtime." The final engagement of the day in Lancashire was to family-run Dewlay Cheesemakers of Garstang. As patron of the Specialist Cheesemakers Association, he was given a tour of the dairy and also met the firm's local suppliers, as well as agricultural students from nearby Myerscough College. Cheesemaker Nick Kenyon said: "Today is an incredible honour. It makes you feel proud and privileged to have had the opportunity to have met him." The visit was commemorated by Prince Charles unveiling a plaque outside the premises of the firm, which is in its 60th year of business. The change happened at 1am on Sunday 30 March.

The Exiles have also signed defender Mickey Demetriou on a free transfer. "This is an important loan move for Flo and we're delighted that we've managed to arrange this spell at for him," Huddersfield's head of operations Stuart Webber said. Newport have seen six players depart since 1 January, and have now signed eight, with more arrivals expected. Defender Demetriou was previously with Shrewsbury but was released at the end of last season after suffering a knee injury. The Exiles are five points adrift at the bottom of League Two and have lost eight successive matches. The youngsters' disappearance in broad daylight from a popular entertainment district in a central part of the capital has raised many questions. Relatives say the police have turned a blind eye to the case because the missing come from a poor area. Amnesty International says authorities are failing to prevent disappearances. Police said they had arrested two waiters, who worked at the Heaven bar in the Zona Rosa district of Mexico City, and a woman, in connection with the 12 missing revellers. Officers are still looking for the owner of the bar, who they say is now considered a fugitive, after searches of a number of premises he had listed as his addresses turned up nothing. Mexico City Attorney General Rodolfo Rios said investigators were still analysing video footage from surveillance cameras in the area to establish what exactly happened on the morning of 26 May. Mr Rios said it showed members of the the group - seven men and five women - arriving at the bar, but not leaving it. Their disappearance made headlines when their relatives blockaded a street in the Tepito district of Mexico City, demanding that police take action. The relatives alleged that officers had done nothing after being informed that the group had gone missing. Investigators said they had interviewed people who were in the area at the time of the disappearance, but said only one man had reported seeing anything suspicious. According to the man's account, masked gunmen stormed into the Heaven bar at 10:00 on Sunday, seized the group of 12 youngsters and drove away with them in several vehicles. Officers who tried to question the man further said he had provided a false name, telephone number and address. They have not been able to locate him since. Investigators said they had not found any trace of a struggle inside the bar. Relatives of the missing have accused the authorities of not acting in a timely manner because most of the members of the group reside in Tepito, one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of Mexico City. Three of the missing are related to Tepito crime bosses currently serving time in prison, which has led to speculation in the media that the group may have been kidnapped by a rival gang. Leticia Ponce said she had delayed telling her jailed husband, Jorge Ortiz Reyes, about the disappearance of their 16-year-old son, Jerzy, in order not to "add to his worries". Mrs Ponce said that once she did inform Ortiz Reyes, known as The Tank, he had told her "to move Heaven and Earth to find my baby". Ortiz Reyes' son-in-law is also among the missing, but Mrs Ponce said she did not think their disappearance was linked to her husband's criminal history. "My husband is paying for his crimes, and my son has nothing to do with that. If they were after him they would have taken just him, and not the other 11," she explained. While mass kidnappings are not unusual in Mexico, they tend to occur in states where cartels vie for control of drug-smuggling routes, and normally involve members of rival gangs. A mass kidnapping in the centre of the capital during daylight hours would constitute a major escalation in the violence the city has experienced. Official figures say 26,000 people have gone missing across Mexico since December 2006, when the army was deployed to fight crime gangs. On Tuesday, Amnesty International said the Mexican government was not doing enough to investigate the disappearances of thousands of people. "Disappearances in Mexico have become commonplace because federal and state authorities have tolerated and refused to clamp down on them," the human rights group said in a new report.

The boxer from Sheffield is in a stable condition according to his promoters Matchroom. No arrests have been made. A spokeswoman for Spain's Guardia Civil said the 28-year-old was stabbed in the left leg at Golf del Sur in San Miguel de Abona and "lost a lot of blood". Brook won the IBF welterweight title when he beat American Shawn Porter in California last month. It is the second time Brook has been stabbed, after an incident in Sheffield in 2007. Brook's win over Porter stretched his unbeaten professional record to 33 fights and he is being lined up for a fight against Amir Khan next - expected to take place on 6 December. His trainer Dominic Ingle told BBC Look North: "We've been through a lot together, me and Kell, and receiving the news this morning hit me in the pit of my stomach. It's a sickening feeling. "I think he's stable, his mum and dad's gone out today to see him in hospital. "He's a fighter Kell, we don't know the extent of his injuries but whichever way, knowing Kell, he'll try and make that date [in December] if he can." The 28-year-old had been named in coach Joe Schmidt's 32-man squad for the three-Test tour last week. Fitzgerald's misfortune could open the door for uncapped Connacht wing Matt Healy, who rounded off a terrific season with a fine display on Saturday. Connacht full-back Tiernan O'Halloran is another option available to Schmidt. A decision on Fitzgerald's replacement should be made in the next few days, with Healy the favourite to get the nod. Ulster's in-form Craig Gilroy could also be in the running to join the squad, The Leinster back joins a lengthy list of absentees for the tour which includes wings Simon Zebo and Tommy Bowe, and forwards Cian Healy, Denis Buckley, Nathan White, Sean O'Brien, Peter O'Mahony, Josh van der Flier and Andrew Conway. Meanwhile South Africa have named hooker Adriaan Strauss as captain for the series. New coach Allister Coetzee praised the 30-year-old's leadership skills in what is a new-look squad. "Adriaan's leadership qualities are impressive and well-established and he has the respect of his team mates on and off the field," Coetzee said in a statement from SA Rugby. Strauss will become the 57th Springboks captain, taking over from Jean de Villiers who retired after last year's Rugby World Cup. The 30-year-old hooker has 54 international caps with the 'Boks and he served as vice-captain in 2012 and '13.

It is illegal for anyone under 18 to get a tattoo, even with parental permission. But an undercover investigation found 10 unlicensed tattooists through online forums who were willing to work on youngsters. BBC London's Inside Out team secretly filmed three of them agreeing to 'ink' children. After being turned down by a legitimate establishment, the natural choice for many children still determined to get a tattoo is to look on the internet. Gail Cooper, who runs Steel Point parlour in Croydon, south London, said she has been inundated with requests, not only from those underage but also parents asking for tattoos for their children. "It's probably about 10 a week now, which is double what it was three years ago," she said. "The youngest I've dealt with was 12. "Her dad wanted her tattooed and he got really angry when we wouldn't tattoo her. "But he said he would go somewhere else, and I'm sure he did as well." About 20% of British adults have had a tattoo, according to a You Gov survey in 2015 Ian Gray from the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health told BBC London he thinks the industry is open to abuse. "I think there are many people making a good living out of damaging people and it's very wrong. "Apart from the fact that you're probably having the procedure carried out by somebody who is not skilful, the big danger is that you've allowed the introduction of a blood borne virus into your body." However some are calling for a complete rethink of the way the industry is regulated. Professor Richard Griffith, a health policy expert at Swansea University, wants the current law to be scrapped entirely. He said: "Young children, 14 and 15 year olds, who are deemed to be competent to make these decisions, who have sufficient maturity and intelligence, to decide whether or not to have a tattoo, under the regulated framework of a license tattoo artist, should also be allowed to have a tattoo, and benefit from the health protection that comes from having it from a licensed tattooist." BBC Inside Out London is on BBC One in the London region on Monday 18 January at 19:30 BST, nationwide on the BBC iPlayer for 28 days thereafter. The collection belongs to the royal family of Monaco, which is selling the items as part of the restoration of their palace. The hat has not been worn since it was given as a gift to Napoleon's veterinarian. Napoleon was renowned for his bicorne hats, so-called because they had two points. Some 19 of his hats have survived. This bicorne, said to have been worn at the Battle of Marengo in Italy in 1800, is part of a collection assembled by Louis II of Monaco, described by his great-grandson Prince Albert as a great admirer of Napoleon. A diamond-encrusted sword is part of the collection that the House of Grimaldi is selling in order to make space for a museum dedicated to Princess Grace, Albert's mother who died in 1982. The value of such a piece is unknown, but a gold sword sold in 2007 for 4.8m euros. Another item is a damaged bronze flag eagle. Other exhibits are estimated to be worth only a few thousand euros, such as a rare scarf worn by the emperor, or a bronze bust. They have been on show next to the Palace of Fontainebleau, where Napoleon lived. Two letters, handwritten by Napoleon himself, are also included. Art expert Jean-Claude Dey who sifted through the collection over the past 13 years, said all the items were "moving mementoes of the First Empire, mementoes of Napoleon, his close relations and friends, his marshals and generals". Stockings and slippers belonging to Napoleon's son, Napoleon II, who was known as the Roi de Rome, are also up for auction. Other clothing is listed, such as a white shirt worn by Napoleon while in exile on St Helena and presented to a general who accompanied him to the remote South Atlantic island after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Many of the delicate items are extraordinarily well preserved, such as these slippers, also belonging to Napoleon II. Sentimental items are also part of the collection, such as an embroidered purse that belonged to Josephine, valued at 2,000 euros. Although many of the items will be bought up by private collectors and museums, some pieces such as gunpowder flasks could be snapped up by the general public.

Work began on the Crescent in Buxton, Derbyshire, in 2003, with an initial completion date of 2007 now pushed back to 2019. The budget to restore the Grade I 18th Century spa complex has also more than doubled to more than £50m. The current Duke of Devonshire said once finished, the building will be the "jewel in the crown" of Buxton. Developer Trevor Osborne said the project had faced rotten timbers and multiple protected springs. The Crescent had stood empty since 1992 when Mr Osborne took it on, intending to convert it into a five-star hotel. He said there had been huge problems - a lot of the building had rotted so it was being reinforced with steel and new timbers. "I think when I agreed to take this project on I must have been young and foolish," he said. "It was difficult to come up with designs which would safeguard the water. "When I took the project on I was advised there were three springs - we found at least 23. "We have had just about every difficulty you could have with a building project like this." Source: Derbyshire County Council The huge budget leap has been borne by the lottery, development grants and Mr Osborne's own company. "That hurts a bit, but long ago I ceased to think of this as a commercial venture," he said. The current Duke of Devonshire, whose ancestor built the Crescent, said: "He and his wife had spent a lot of time in Bath and I think he tried to emulate that. "I'm afraid when it was built by my ancestor, it was not built to a very high standard, so (the developers) have had to put that right. "I think it will be the jewel in the crown, and that's some crown, Buxton's a really wonderful place. I think it'll put Buxton and Derbyshire even more on the map." An event was held in the Crescent's Pump Room on 20 June to mark the joint launch of both the Buxton Crescent & Thermal Spa Heritage Trust and the Friends of the Crescent group to support the regeneration and the future of the building. Police said no-one was injured when a lorry hit the central reservation after a tyre blew out near the Calder junction on the A720, at about 07:20. Footage from a dashcam filmed from on the other side of the road shows the lorry hurtling down the steel barrier. The lorry appears to have mounted the central barrier and comes close to crossing into oncoming traffic. The bypass was closed eastbound throughout the morning but reopened at about 14:30. There were queues several miles long following the crash, which also affected the M8 heading into Edinburgh, back to Junction 3 at Livingston. There were also queues on the M9 southbound heading down to the M8, with traffic back to 1a at Kirkliston. There were further queues on all routes heading to the bypass, the A71, the A70 and the A772 Gilmerton Road.

The clips feature images and text about products the US retailer has detected the user has shown interest in. Amazon regularly displays customised static ads on third-party sites, but the videos have the potential to be more eye-catching and appear in more places. One expert said the idea had potential but Amazon would have to be careful that its ads did not seem creepy. "This is something we've only experimented with at very small scales," Graeme Smith, managing director Amazon's software development centre in Edinburgh, told the BBC. "They have been out there in the wild. "I'm not able to share any more details of where, but potentially anywhere you can see a video is potentially somewhere you could consider running personalised video ads, right across the internet. "It's still very early days for this technology, but it's something we are really excited about with a lot of applications." Mr Smith showed off one of the ad designs at a press conference in London. But the company declined the BBC's request to show the footage, saying it was still in a testing phase, so too early to share widely. Video ads have long been targeted at users on services such as YouTube and Facebook via cookies and other means that track their identities. But rather than just directing pre-made clips at targeted audiences, Amazon aims to make its adverts more effective by creating them on the fly, tailored to each user's interests. It is able to do this by using graphics templates, whose elements are superimposed with images and text selected by the company's algorithms. It is not uncommon for commercials to be created using such motion graphics templates. But they normally require a human to arrange and edit their parts using specialised software - a time-consuming and potentially expensive activity. "Video has always been an incredibly effective way of advertising," said Maisie McCabe, acting UK editor of Campaign. "Technology is now enabling brands such as Amazon to combine the power of video with the precision of targeted online ads. "However, this must be done sensitively and openly. "Brands must be careful not to scare off potential customers by abusing the trust people place on them when they allow companies to track their data. "Moreover, there's a big difference between what people expect from a static display ad and online video. "Amazon will need to make sure its personalised videos are more engaging than the functional shopping ones they serve at the moment." Although the idea of dynamic video ads is new to Amazon, other brands have teamed up with digital marketing companies to explore the idea. For example: Perhaps most prominently of all, Facebook has created a variety of personalised videos based on images and posts its members' have uploaded to its service, which it shows from time to time to help keep users loyal. More than 300 people aged under 25 are diagnosed with the disease in Scotland every year. Dr Catherine Calderwood said she wanted to ensure that children were seen by "the right experts in the right place". She added that they should be able to access to "after care" services close to their family home. Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, Dr Calderwood said: "We want children to be seen by the right experts in the right place and we want them then to have opportunities as far as possible to participate in cancer clinical trials. "Those are often the way that we can develop our medicines for cancer but also it often gives an opportunity for trial of new treatments for children. "So we want as many children to be seen where the expertise lies but also to be treated by an expert team." She said that approximately 150 children a year were diagnosed with cancer in Scotland. About 180 young people aged 16-25 receive similar diagnoses. She added: "The plan will also have children being able to be cared for, for their after care, closer to their own homes. "So it doesn't mean children moving and having to stay away from family and friends and their usual activities." The move has been supported by Cancer Research UK. Spokesman Gregor McNie said: "We all know that the support networks and the holistic needs of someone who's ill with any disease are always best served close to home. "So what this strategy tries to do is strike the balance of getting the specialist care from the very best at what they do but the wider care being as close to home as possible."

Taylor, who last won the title in 2013, edged a tense see-saw match 5-3 despite losing three successive sets. The 54-year-old said: "It felt more like survival than a victory but I'm through and that is all that matters." Dutchman Van Barneveld trailed BDO world champion Stephen Bunting 3-2 but fought back to win 5-4. The five-time champion broke Bunting's resistance with a 107 checkout to take a tense seventh set and followed it up with a 113 checkout against the darts at the start of the last set. In the earlier contest, Taylor was far from his best, averaging 100.08 with just a 40% success rate with doubles, but was fortunate that Dutchman Van der Voort struggled with a back injury. The turning point came in the sixth set when Taylor, trailing 3-2, won the decisive leg despite taking 8 darts to hit a double. Of 1,000 parents questioned by Drinkaware, more than half said they would provide five or more bottles of wine or spirits for a week. The charity is tackling alcohol misuse in the Cornish resort of Newquay this summer with local council and police. Two students died in the town last year after falling from cliffs. As part of the Newquay Safe initiative, teenagers arriving in the town are being met with police and sniffer-dogs. Any alcohol found on under-18s will be confiscated. The 'Got Your Back' campaign encourages friends to look out for each other and think about the short-term risks of excessive alcohol consumption. In the survey, 36% of parents said they would prefer their child to get alcohol from them rather than an unknown source, while 22% admitted they buy their teenager alcohol to keep track of the amount they drink. Chris Sorek, chief executive of Drinkaware, said buying alcohol could inadvertently be putting their children at risk. "Lots of 16 and 17-year-olds will want to mark the end of exams by celebrating with friends on a trip away," he said. "Parents might think they're doing the right thing by ensuring alcohol comes from them instead of somewhere else, but when young people drink to excess it can compromise their personal safety." Mr Sorek said it could also increase the chances of teenagers having unprotected sex or being involved in an accident. He added: "To help their children stay safe, parents should avoid giving them alcohol for unsupervised holidays and talk to them about possible risks." With thousands of teenagers set to arrive in Newquay after their exams finish, Drinkaware is taking over a cafe on Fistral Beach to create an alcohol-free venue where friends can meet and eat specially discounted food while having access to facts and information about alcohol. On Monday, Cornwall Coroner Emma Carlyon recorded an open verdict at the inquest of Paddy Higgins. The 16-year-old, from Winnersh, Berkshire, fell from cliffs in Newquay on 6 July last year. The inquest in Truro was told tests showed the teenager was three times over the legal drink-drive limit. Mr Sorek said: "We want to remind young people that you don't need alcohol to celebrate and that drinking too much can be risky."

Tom Bedford's family thought he was upset because of the match but when he collapsed his dad John attempted CPR. The family said he died of either an undiagnosed heart condition or a blood clot and are urging parents to get their children to get tested. Tom's heart is undergoing tests but it could be several months before a cause of death is known. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire The family said a post-mortem examination revealed it was not clear how Tom died and further tests are being carried out at a specialist centre in London. Tom, a passionate Leicester City fan, was watching the FA Cup replay on 20 January between the Foxes and Tottenham Hotspur in his bedroom at home in Leicestershire. His dad, also a fan, was watching the game downstairs because "they had a tendency to wind each other up" while watching football. After Spurs scored their second goal he appeared agitated and upset which was put down to the stress of the game. When he complained to his mum that he was struggling to breath an ambulance was called but by then he had collapsed and his dad had to attempt CPR. "It was the worst thing a parent could ever have to do and to see your child get slowly worse in front of you. It was awful. I couldn't believe what was happening," he said. "It was intense, it was unfair and it was wrong." Tom was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary but he later died. The family said doctors believe Tom's death was likely caused by an irregular heartbeat or a blood clot but it could be six months before they find out more. Leicester Coroner's Office said it is waiting for the cause of death to be established before deciding if an inquest is needed. The site is now back after what is believed to have been an internal fault affecting the site on Sunday. Separately, the company said it was aware of people receiving scam emails masquerading as having been sent from Argos. The company advises customers not to hand over personal details after receiving unsolicited emails. It said it had not suffered a cyber attack. Argos said in a statement on Sunday: "We are extremely sorry for the temporary service issues our customers were experiencing on our website this afternoon. "We have identified and fixed the issue and our site is now up and running. "We apologise to any customer who has tried to contact us unsuccessfully today and we are working to respond to all enquiries as soon as we can." Last year, Argos's website suffered problems for two days following a revamped design of the site. It displayed an error message on some computers, but not others, saying access had been blocked because of a "high volume of visitors". The Bluebirds are now unbeaten in 24 games and move up into the top four after a frustrating match for both sides.

The Edinburgh side, who won the Championship by 21 points last year, currently lie third in the top flight. "We have to challenge for the title, I think so," said Djoum, who arrived from Polish side Lech Poznan in September. "In our first year, we are currently third and have a chance for second, so you just have to continue like that. We have good potential at this club." Hearts require a draw against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Tuesday to ensure they will finish no worse off than third in their first season back in Scotland's top tier. Head coach Robbie Neilson believes such an outcome would be "a great achievement", given he had simply targeted a top-six finish. Asked if his squad's likely qualification for European competition had surprised him, Neilson told BBC Scotland: "A little bit. "When you get promoted, you never really know where you are going to be. We had a great season last season, but that was the Championship. "We have gone up a level and are playing against very good teams every week. "The consistency has to get looked at, the ability of the players and whether they can play at that level and I think they have performed at a level higher than I expected." Hearts beat second-top Aberdeen 2-1 on Friday and still have a chance of overhauling the Dons, whose lead would be reduced to six points - with five games left - should Neilson's side win at Caledonian Stadium on Tuesday. "Our objectives at the start of the year were to try to get into the top six and try to compete with the likes of Dundee and Ross County and St Johnstone and teams like that," he added. "To be able to get that at this stage of the season before the split to hopefully guarantee European football would be great and it gives us a platform for the last five games to get second place." The comedian and writer said that in the 1987 election campaign, he and Bill Bragg played gigs in "six important marginals - and lost the lot". Much of his 1980s stand-up act included anti-Margaret Thatcher jokes. But he has moved away from politics, writing sitcoms, books and musicals, including one with well-known Conservative peer Lord Lloyd Webber. That collaboration was one the reasons fellow comedian Mark Steel chose Ben Elton as one of the items he wanted banished to Room 101 in 2007. As well as his TV and stage jokes directed at the then Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Elton also took part in the Red Wedge music and comedy tour seeking to help secure a Labour victory at the 1987 election. Earlier this year it was reported that Elton had rejoined and donated to the party he left during the Tony Blair's premiership. In that interview he said that he had in recent years donated to, and voted, Green. At the rally in Warrington, which also featured long-time celebrity Labour backer Eddie Izzard and Coronation Street actress Sally Lindsay, Elton said social mobility in the UK was "shrinking" and claimed many young people today feel they have been "born into a country where the dice have been loaded against them". Ed Miliband's was not the only party showing celebrity endorsement on Saturday, with former England defender Sol Campbell snapped campaigning for the Conservatives.

The BBC understands that he will outline a new management structure for the local health care system. It comes in response to a review that recommended redesigning the system to make it simpler and more efficient. The review said Northern Ireland had too many hospitals for its 1.8m population. It was published in January by Sir Liam Donaldson, the former Chief Medical Officer for England. It suggested setting up an international panel of experts to redesign the local health system so that expertise is no longer thinly spread. The report also identified confusion about who was in charge of health care in Northern Ireland. At present, the Department of Health is responsible for strategy and policy, while below it the Health and Social Care Board is in charge of "commissioning". In essence, this means the board spends a large part of the health budget identifying needs and acquiring resources and services for the trusts. The six trusts are then the service providers. It is understood the minister wants the trusts to be directly accountable to his department, and this could have implications for the Health and Social Care Board. It currently employs about 470 people, with an administration budget of £27m. Alongside the board, the Public Health Agency is primarily responsible for improving health and social well-being and health protection, but it also has a role in commissioning. It is understood commissioning will not longer be part of its remit. The Donaldson review highlighted unnecessary duplication between the department, the health board and the Public Health Agency. The minister is expected to address this directly. Any move to restructure the management of the health service will require a public consultation and legislation, meaning it is unlikely to come into effect for between 18 months and two years. Sir Liam suggested that an international panel of experts be established to make some of the tough decisions regarding the future shape of services, including the number of acute hospitals. The review highlighted that a population of 1.8m could be served by four rather than 10 hospitals. Sir Liam said it should be agreed in advance to accept whatever proposals such a panel made. The BBC understands that Mr Hamilton will set up an expert panel, but it will mostly be made up of local people. There will be no agreement to accept the panel's proposals in advance. The review also pointed to a report from 2011 called Transforming Your Care which had 99 recommendations. It focused on moving patient care away from hospitals and into the home or community setting. Sir Liam said a time-tabled implementation plan was needed that would include an enhanced role for pharmacists and paramedics. It is understood the minister will announce a 'transformation fund' to be taken out of any additional funding the department receives (currently £4.7bn). The fund will be used to pay for cost-saving initiatives developed by the trusts and the implementation of Transforming Your Care. This announcement by the minister is essentially his answer to the Donaldson report - on the question of who is in charge of the health service, Mr Hamilton says he is. The minister vows to reduce bureaucracy and he suggests reforming a system so service providers work more closely with the decision makers. Nine managers have left Spurs since Levy took over in 2001, the most recent being Tim Sherwood, who was sacked on Tuesday after five months in charge. Allen, 52, described Levy as an "incredible" businessman but criticised his football-related decisions. "I don't think he is a football man," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "Those decisions have come back to haunt him." Allen, who was interim manager of Spurs for one match in 2007 after Martin Jol was sacked, also criticised the recent transfer dealings of the club. "It's a very expensive squad and someone has to be answerable for that," he said. "It's so bitterly disappointing the squad has finished sixth this season and the squad of players, in all honesty, are not competitive with the top four teams. "A decision was made that a new direction had to be found and I just wonder what that direction is." Sherwood, 45, was sacked less than a week after comparing himself to a "supply teacher", with players being told by their agents he would not be at the club next season. Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax boss Frank de Boer have been touted as possible replacements.

The 27-year-old's contract with French club Toulon expires in the summer. Halfpenny, who scored 16 points in Toulon's European Champions Cup win over Scarlets on Sunday said his international career was a major consideration. "I'm weighing up everything. Hopefully I can make a decision very shortly," he said. Should he decide to remain in France, Halfpenny would rely on a wildcard pick to play for Wales under terms of the Welsh Rugby Union's senior player selection policy. "I want to be playing top-flight rugby but the biggest consideration is obviously the wildcard," Halfpenny said. "International rugby is hugely important for me and I have to consider that." Halfpenny said in late October he would decide whether to stay with Toulon or return to Wales "in the next month or so" following the autumn Test series. Former Toulon head coach Diego Dominguez said earlier in October he was confident Halfpenny would stay with the former European champions, whom he joined in 2014 "I know I said I was going to focus on the internationals and then think and that's what I'm doing now, going through that process of making a decision," Halfpenny added. "My agent's looking at the options and hopefully he can get them on the table and I'll have a look at my options and make a decision then." Halfpenny said it was "good fun" facing a number of his Wales team-mates in Toulon's 31-20 win over Scarlets. The former Cardiff Blues player scored 16 points in a victory which lifted the three-times champions to nine points in the pool, five behind defending champions Saracens. "We'll enjoy this win and then look to prepare heading to Wales next week," Halfpenny added. "The Scarlets will look to come out fighting and it's going to be tough there. They've got quality across the park. "All we can do is take each game as it comes. We know the task ahead of us is a huge challenge. "We're trying to build, week on week, game on game. "If we continue to improve then hopefully we can achieve what we set out to do and that's to advance in this competition and challenge for the title." He took over the role from Dave Brooks in 2013, after previously working at both Surrey and Hampshire. "It has been a difficult decision to make but I do believe that it is right for me to move on and hand over the reins to a successor," Toumazi said. The Division Two side began their final County Championship match of the season against Gloucestershire on Tuesday. BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms: "This has been a difficult season for Zac Toumazi particularly as performances on the field, notably in white-ball cricket, haven't matched the expectations of the Sussex supporters. "However, it has also been a traumatic period for the club off the field following the tragic death of young bowler Matthew Hobden, and Toumazi deserves great credit for the way in which both he and the club responded to the tragedy with great dignity. "He leaves at a time of great change in county cricket, particularly with a new T20 competition seemingly inevitable, and the members will expect a prompt appointment to steer Sussex through what are likely to be choppy waters ahead."

Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny says he will consider all his options before making a decision on his future. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Zac Toumazi will step down from his position as Sussex chief executive at the end of 2016.

The dispute has been going on for some time and previous strikes have caused disruption for thousands of passengers. Thursday's cancelled strike would have inconvenienced thousands more who are expected to travel into the city to celebrate the national holiday. Broadcaster RTÉ said staff from three out of four grades accepted pay offers. Luas workers will be balloted on the latest proposals next week, but sufficient agreement was reached to avoid the 17 March strike. The breakthrough followed lengthy, overnight talks between Transdev - the private company that operates the Luas - and workers' representatives from the Services, Industrial, Professional and Technical Union (Siptu). It was reported last month that some workers were seeking pay rises of up to 53%, which Transdev described as unsustainable. Speaking to RTÉ after the talks on Wednesday, Transdev managing director Gerry Madden said the dispute has been disastrous for the Luas brand. Sally Ann John, whose body has never been found, went missing while working as a prostitute in Swindon in 1995. A postcard which she allegedly sent shortly after disappearing is to feature on the BBC's Crimewatch. Wiltshire Police said analysis of the postcard has led detectives to conclude it was not written by Ms John, but its author is unknown. 8 Sept 1995 - Sally Ann John is last seen on Aylesbury Street, Swindon at 10:45 BST.

She was last seen on Aylesbury Street in Swindon, close to the town's red light district. Her vanishing was initially treated as a missing person inquiry: a murder investigation was eventually launched in 2014. "It is a horrible feeling that your daughter has been murdered," her mother, Lesley John, told Crimewatch. "I just want her found. I want whoever did this to be counted for." Wiltshire Police is now offering a £25,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of her body, or a conviction. Det Supt Don Pocock said: "It has been nearly 22 years since Sally disappeared. I appreciate this is a long time and no doubt friendships, relationships and lives will have changed dramatically since then. "But if you have any information about what happened to Sally, it could be the missing piece in our jigsaw."

Blood cells tend to degrade quickly, and earlier scans for blood within Oetzi's body turned up nothing. Now a study in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface shows that Oetzi's remarkable preservation extends even to the blood he shed shortly before dying. The find represents by far the oldest red blood cells ever observed. It is just the latest chapter in what could be described as the world's oldest murder mystery. Since Oetzi was first found by hikers with an arrow buried in his back, experts have determined that he died from his wounds and what his last meal was. There has been extensive debate as to whether he fell where he died or was buried there by others. In February, Albert Zink and colleagues at the Eurac Institute for Mummies and the Iceman in Bolzano, Italy . An earlier study by the group, published in the Lancet , showed that a wound on Oetzi's hand contained haemoglobin, a protein found in blood - but it had long been presumed that red blood cells' delicate nature would have precluded their preservation. Prof Zink and his colleagues collaborated with researchers at the Center for Smart Interfaces at the University of Darmstadt in Germany to apply what is known as atomic force microscopy to thin slices of tissue taken from an area surrounding the arrow wound. The technique works using a tiny metal tip with a point just a few atoms across, dragged along the surface of a sample. The tip's movement is tracked, and results in a 3-D map at extraordinary resolution. The team found that the sample from Oetzi contained structures with a tell-tale "doughnut" shape, just as red blood cells have. To ensure the structures were preserved cells and not contamination of some kind, they confirmed the find using a laser-based technique called Raman spectroscopy - those results also indicated the presence of haemoglobin and the clot-associated protein fibrin. That, Prof Zink explained, seems to solve one of the elements of the murder mystery. "Because fibrin is present in fresh wounds and then degrades, the theory that Oetzi died some days after he had been injured by the arrow, as had once been mooted, can no longer be upheld," he said. The team also suggest that their methods may prove to be of use in modern-day forensics studies, in which the exact age of blood samples is difficult to determine. He faces Bristol's Lee Haskins, who won the interim title earlier in the year, at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday. Caballero is unbeaten in 22 fights, but the American has been out of the ring for more than a year through injury. "I've been gone for a year but I'm back, I'm hungry and I'm going to defend my title," said Caballero. He beat Stuart Hall last year to claim the vacant IBF belt, while Haskins, 32, took his record to 32 victories and three defeats with his win over Japan's Ryosuke Iwasa. Media playback is not supported on this device "He is a tough guy and there is a reason why he is mandatory challenger," Caballero said. "He is coming a long way to win my title but I've trained way too hard, I'm ready and I'm going to make sure that belt stays wrapped around my waist." The fight was added to the undercard of the WBC middleweight title contest between Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez last month. And Caballero added: "To be on a card like this is a dream come true and I'm ready to put on a great performance, "I promise it is going to be a brand new Randy Caballero on Saturday and I'm going to show you why I'm world champion." Haskins, though, has vowed to return to Bristol a world champion and said: "Every boxer who gets into the sport wants to fight in Vegas. A few years ago I never thought I would have a chance like this. "I'm in great shape and we are looking to put on a great fight."

It said steps must be taken to improve people's health, make better use of existing resources, and unify health and social care provision. Amanda Doyle, who led the work on the plan, said the region had some of the "poorest health in the country". Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron criticised the report as "vague". The plan aims to "tackle life expectancy inequality" and make care "more person-centred and coordinated", the report said. It also intends to "relieve the financial pressures" on local NHS providers, partly by encouraging and supporting people to "assume greater responsibility for their own good health" and reducing "over reliance on acute hospital-based services". The report suggests "enhancing" the role of charity and voluntary organisations in supporting mainstream services. Changes to acute and specialist services have not been ruled out. NHS England has split the country into 44 geographic areas - called 'footprints' - each of which must soon produce a sustainability and transformation plan (STP). Liberal Democrat Farron said it was a "vague report - vaguer than most others around the country". "The government has asked them to make cuts of a ludicrous proportion, over half a billion pounds in the next five years - impossible to do - and they are maybe playing for time or looking for other ways out and so their proposals are very thin," he said. Lancashire and South Cumbria's STP covers five areas: Central Lancashire, West Lancashire, Pennine Lancashire, Fylde Coast and the Bay Health & Care Partners area. The group overseeing this change, Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria, is asking the public for their views. Estate agent Connells Group confirmed Pondtail Wood near Hurstpierpoint will be sold at auction on 12 September. Protesters were appalled at the destruction of ancient woods by landowner Wineham Properties Ltd earlier this year. The Forestry Commission ordered the trees be replanted by 30 April 2017 and looked after for 10 years. The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) also investigated and issued Stop and Enforcement Notices in June. But solicitors for Wineham Properties Ltd lodged an appeal in July which suspended the notice until the appeal was decided or withdrawn, the SDNPA said. A spokesperson for the SDNPA said: "We are aware that a for sale sign went up last week. The landowner is legally entitled to sell the property. "The notices stay with the land and so will transfer to any new owner. The owner should declare the notices prior to any sale." The BBC has attempted to contact Wineham Properties for comment.

The missionaries sailed from America to Liverpool before settling by the River Ribble in Preston in 1837. They claimed to have brought the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and began holding baptisms in the river. The concert - in July at Avenham Park - will mark the 175th anniversary of the baptisms which drew huge crowds. Dr James Holt, from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), said: "There were 8,000 onlookers that day; we hope to exceed that number in July." The church has had a varied history in Lancashire. Many do not see them as true Christians claiming their beliefs are too at odds with "mainstream" Christianity. There have been allegations of them being too secretive and cultish. There were protests from local faith groups when the Preston Temple of the Church, the largest of its kind in Europe, was opened in Chorley in 1998. Dr Holt said he believes the church has allayed those worries. "I think things have settled down a lot now that people see members of the church and have got to know them," he said. "They realise that we follow a saviour, but also that a lot of the values we have are shared with them. "Any stories they may have heard from other people dissipate once they get to know people from the church." The church said the concert in Avenham Park is their contribution to the Preston Guild 2012 celebrations. "We see this as an integral part of what's going on in Guild Year," Dr Holt said. "Because Preston is so synonymous with the church in the UK we just want to be involved as much as we can." The concert will be addressed by LDS church leaders and will also feature a choir of church members from around the North West who will be singing well known Christian hymns. Dr Holt said: "This will be a wonderful opportunity for the Mormons in Britain to remember their heritage and celebrate the history of the church on these islands. "It will be a time to look back, a time to rejoice together as hymns are sung by the congregation and a large LDS choir. "We shall also have the opportunity to enjoy the words of past and present church leaders. "We want people from all over Lancashire to bring their blankets, bring their picnic baskets and join us in the park." Joe Wilson presents the faith programme on BBC Radio Lancashire from 06:00 each Sunday. But the sides meet for the first time at the Banks's Stadium on Saturday. The League One leadership is at stake, with Smith's second-placed Saddlers three points behind Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's pacesetters. Smith told BBC WM: "Nobody would have predicted that would be a top of the table clash on international weekend." Separated only by a 23-mile journey down the A38, any previous meetings between the two clubs would have been relatively non-competitive affairs, in the Staffordshire Senior Cup. But this one is for real, Smith admitting: "We know that, if we win we go above them and that makes it even more exciting. Everybody knows it's the two top clubs at the moment in League One. "It's a real tough one though. We know that. Jimmy's done tremendously well to get them up there and carry on the momentum through from when they won promotion last season." Former Saddlers centre-half Smith is still hopeful that he can lead his home town club back to the Championship - but he is well aware that the more success he has with Walsall, the more likely he is to get offers to make it to a higher grade elsewhere, with other clubs. That was the case when Championship strugglers Rotherham United asked to speak to him this week. "There was an approach made," Smith told BBC WM. "But there's nothing I can say about it. It was turned down so I didn't even think about it. "If any club is doing well, then you come under the radar of other clubs very quickly, whether it be manager, staff or players. We're doing well at the moment so other people will take notice of that." Walsall manager Dean Smith was talking to BBC WM's Rob Gurney.

As Storm Desmond swept across parts of the UK, people have been sharing their experience with BBC News: Sarah Whitby sent in this photo from the River Rothay in the Lake District on Saturday. Robin Newton, from Keswick, spoke to the BBC on Sunday. He said he had had no supply of water all day. "I live near to the River Greta. We have been flooded, but the majority of Keswick is out of water. The local fire station has been handing out bottles of water, but they have now run out. I walked a quarter of a mile away into town this morning - the devastation has been unbelievable. The river was a raging torrent, and it had breached all the new flood defences. At the back of my house, I can hear the roar of the river." Ravi Uppoor lives close to the River Eden in Carlisle. He described how the river flowed over the flood defences on Sunday. "About 15 houses near to my house are flooded. One of my neighbours, who is in her 90s, said she had never seen anything like this in the last 40 or 50 years. There is no power supply, no fire alarm or heating, so we have had to make alternative arrangements for our children. The rain was unprecedented. I grew up in India with a lot of flooding, but I have never seen anything like this." John Chadwick was evacuated from his home in Carlisle on Saturday, as the River Caldew burst over the flood barriers. "The waters were 2in [5cm] deep, and I got out by dinghy. I live alone and have severe mobility problems including osteoarthritis and mild epilepsy - I just had time to grab some medication. I have nowhere suitable to stay as I need ground-floor accommodation with disabled access. My friend drove near where I live, but he couldn't get through. I have nothing insured." Ben Freke, a student at Lancaster University, said the power had gone out at 23:00 GMT on Saturday on campus. The next day, everyone was given two hours to evacuate the building. "As a lot of students are unable to go home - some are international students - the only place to go was to the Great Hall on campus.

Some of you have been sharing video clips from around affected areas: Many people tried to help via social media over the weekend: Compiled by Sherie Ryder Issa Timamy was accused of involvement in two attacks which killed at least 60 people in the region in June. The court rejected the prosecution's request for more time to investigate the case, and ordered the return of his bail bond. Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab said its fighters carried out the raids in Lamu. However, Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta denied that al-Shabab was involved and blamed "local political networks" for the violence. Mr Timamy, who always maintained his innocence, welcomed the ruling. "There is no way I could attack my people," he said outside court, the AFP news agency reports. The raids on Mpeketoni town and surrounding villages were the most deadly in Kenya since September 2013, when at least 67 people were killed by al-Shabab fighters at Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre. The unrest has badly affected Kenya's tourist industry, a key foreign currency earner. Kenyan troops are part of a 22,000-strong African Union (AU) force battling the militants in Somalia.

But Mr Iordache, who had drawn up the bill, insisted that "all that I've done was legal". Bowing to pressure, the government last week scrapped the decree that would have shielded many politicians from prosecution for corruption. However, some protesters want the entire leftist cabinet to quit. Earlier this week President Klaus Iohannis warned parliament that "the resignation of a minister will not be enough". The demonstrations - attracting hundreds of thousands of people - have been the country's largest since the fall of communism in 1989. The controversial bill had been due to come into effect on 10 February. The justice ministry has been instructed to draft a new law to tackle the issues raised by the original decree, and to initiate a wide public debate. Strategic retreat or surrender for government? Romania's controversial anti-corruption star The original decree would have decriminalised abuse of power offences where sums of less than €44,000 (£38,000; $47,500) were involved. The constitutional court has still to rule on the bill's legality. One immediate beneficiary would have been Liviu Dragnea, head of the governing Social Democrats (PSD), who faces charges of defrauding the state of €24,000. The government had earlier argued that the changes were needed to reduce prison overcrowding and align certain laws with the constitution. But critics saw it as a way for the PSD to absolve officials convicted or accused of corruption. Sides drawing 2-2 away win the overall tie 79.4% of the time in Europe, and a 1-1 draw at Etihad Stadium next Tuesday would see Pellegrini's side go through. "No, we're not favourites. Not before this game and not after," he said. "Between big teams you never have a favourite. It will still be open." City took the lead against the French champions through Kevin de Bruyne, but went 2-1 down as Zlatan Ibrahimovic - who also missed a penalty - capitalised on Fernando's error, before Adrien Rabiot scored at the back post. Fernandinho's deflected effort 18 minutes from time earned a draw for the Premier League club, who are trying to reach their first Champions League semi-final. "We must not talk about a semi-final," said Pellegrini, 62, who will be succeeded by Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola in the summer. "We must play the second leg not thinking we are already qualified. When we qualify, we can talk about other things." Media playback is not supported on this device De Bruyne has now scored in both of his games since returning from a two-month injury lay-off, after netting in Saturday's 4-0 win over Bournemouth. "Sometimes one player can change a team. He was important before his injury and thankfully he returned the same way," said Pellegrini. It was an eventful night for PSG striker Ibrahimovic, 34, who had a penalty saved by Joe Hart, missed a one-on-one opportunity and also struck the crossbar. But the Swede's goal means he has scored in five consecutive Champions League games for the third time in his career. "Zlatan was really on a rollercoaster - he missed a penalty and then had a really clear chance and didn't score," said PSG boss Laurent Blanc. "We thought it wasn't his evening but he kept on believing and scored." Former France manager Blanc is confident his side can trouble City in the second leg. "What I will take from this game? It's not the first time we've conceded at home," he said. "We always concede at home but in the past we've proven that we can score away."

Dylann Roof, 21, already faced nine counts of murder and one weapons possession charge for the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, on 17 June. The victims were shot and killed after a Bible study meeting. The attempted murder charges relate to three people who were present during the attack but survived. A woman and a small child survived by playing dead. Mr Roof left a third woman alive to tell others about the crime. Governor Nikki Haley has said Mr Roof should face the death penalty. Mr Roof reportedly sat with the group for nearly an hour before he pulled out his handgun and started shooting. One survivor recalled him saying: "You all rape women and you're taking over our country." After the attack, a friend of Mr Roof's said he had previously complained that "blacks were taking over the world" and "someone needed to do something about it for the white race". Mr Roof was arrested the day after the shooting more than 200 miles away in North Carolina and then flown back to Charleston. He is next expected in court in October.

Bob Higgins of Litchfield Road, Southampton, has been charged with 65 counts of indecent assault. Hampshire Constabulary said the offences related to allegations involving 23 teenage boys dating back to the 1980s and 90s. The 64-year-old is due to appear at Southampton Magistrates' Court on 20 July. The 23-year-old vanished while on a night out with friends on 24 September in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Suffolk Police officers combing through CCTV footage have released stills of three people who have yet to be traced. Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline in Fife, was last seen walking alone in Bury St Edmunds at about 03:25 BST. He walked into a dead-end area known as the "horseshoe" and was not seen again. Following a previous appeal, police still need to trace two people shown on CCTV - a cyclist and an older man. A name had been given for the older man, but this person has since been traced and he was not the man in the image. A third picture has also been released. It is a better image of a potential witness, believed to have featured in pictures previously released on 8 December. All of the footage was filmed in Bury St Edmunds town centre between 03.15 and 05:20 BST. Police said the vast majority of people in the area who were captured on CCTV had been identified, traced and spoken to. The three people in the images were the last seen on foot in the area who have yet to be traced. Det Supt Katie Elliott said police had worked through information in a "logical way". She added police have not received any information as yet from an intelligence services company employed by Mr Mckeague's family, but anything passed on by them would be considered as part of the ongoing inquiry.

Plaid Cymru said it wanted an "alternative vision" of banking that "does not abandon its customers". The party said a further 36 branches were expected to close in 2017. The Welsh Government said banking regulation was not devolved "but we expect banks to offer services to customers across Wales and to not disadvantage rural communities". AM Adam Price, Plaid's party economy spokesman, said a people's bank would be a "network of locally owned" banks similar to that seen in other European countries. "I think it's time for us to think of an alternative model... which actually uses the money which you and I put into our bank accounts," he said. "That's there then to flow out into lending to other local citizens and businesses so we can drive the future of our economy." Mr Price said there would be a role for the Welsh Government potentially through the planned Development Bank for Wales, "to act as a hub". A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "As part of our work to improve financial services for businesses we are establishing a new Development Bank of Wales with a dedicated intelligence unit to better target financial services and advice for micro, small and medium sized businesses in Wales." In a debate on Wednesday, Plaid Cymru will call on Welsh ministers to examine the steps needed in regulations and new laws to set up alternative models of banking. The past few months have seen a steady stream of branch closures announcements. In January, HSBC announced nine branches were to close in Wales, while the previous month NatWest revealed it was shutting nine north Wales banks. In November, Lloyds Bank said it was shutting 10 branches. Hertfordshire County Council has commissioned the study after the hole, which was 66ft (20m) wide, appeared on Fontmell Close in St Albans. A local history society said the Bernard's Heath area was covered in brickmakers' clay pits in the 19th Century. The council has spent the weekend filling in the hole with concrete. About 77,000 litres were pumped into it on Friday with a further 100,000 litres on Saturday. It was being left to set on Sunday and the plan was to fill it with another 100,000 litres on Monday. Roger Miles, an amateur archaeologist with the St Albans & Hertfordshire Architectural & Archaeological Society, said brickmaking had existed for at least 300 years until the early 1900s, when many pits were filled in with the city's rubbish. He said clay pits would have exposed the underlying chalk layers to more water, which could have led to crumbling and fissures. "According to Ordnance Survey maps clay pits extended very close to where the sinkhole is and many had reverted to woodland over the past century," he said. "We know the locations of some pits, but there may be others which were never mapped, so we need a fresh study to put householders' minds at ease. "You can get a very good idea of what is under the ground without digging." A council spokeswoman said the survey work would be non-invasive and detecting equipment could be used to pick up any underground anomalies such as weak spots or voids. She said it could take weeks before the results were known. Once all the concrete was set, it was hoped utilities could be fully restored to the 50 homes which were affected by the end of the week. No-one was injured when the hole appeared but five homes were evacuated. The council confirmed Fontmell Close had been resurfaced a year ago. The British Geological Survey says there are several different types of sinkhole, sometimes known as "dolines". Muguruza, from Spain, won in straight sets 7-5 6-0.

Watson has slipped down the rankings to number 84 this year and Saturday's encounter with Garcia will be her first semi-final since winning in Hobart in January 2015. "I thought I played very well," said Watson. "I needed to against Caroline because she's a great player - and I had to fight to the end because I knew she would." Konta, ranked 27th in the world, was a set and a break down but broke back to level the second set at 5-5 before winning it in the tie-break. However, she won only one more game as Belgium's Flipkens reached the last four.

Kate and Gerry McCann joined villagers and well-wishers at Rothley Parish Church in Leicestershire to say prayers for their missing daughter. The three-year-old vanished during a family holiday in Portugal in 2007. Rev Rob Gladstone, who led the service, paid tribute to those still working to find Madeleine. Prayers for other missing children were also read out during the service, which Kate McCann helped to organise. It had originally been due to take place outside at the village's war memorial but was moved indoors to give the McCann family more privacy. The service began with Cat Stevens' recording of 'Morning Has Broken' being played out. Rev Gladstone then told the congregation: "Lord we thank you for sustaining Gerry and Kate through these painful years. "We pray for the team of women and men who are still searching for Madeleine and other missing children. "May the Holy Spirit help them as they work hard to find out the truth." Messages tied with yellow ribbon - signifying hope - had been placed at the church by local schoolchildren. Prayers were also due to be said for Madeleine at a church service in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz, where she went missing. A sunset balloon release at a nearby beach was also planned.

The health and safety ban in Severn View, Garndiffaith, near Pontypool, came after a postman complained. But Royal Mail said it would reinstate deliveries to two of the 10 houses after a "further safety assessment". It has also proposed installing external mailboxes to the rear of the other eight properties. "If they are willing to do something to help residents, I can't complain," said local county councillor Gwyneira Clark. "I wouldn't want to jeopardise health and safety. "But would like to be there with the residents and a representative from the post office before they action any alternative post boxes." Royal Mail initially said a short stretch of grass between car tracks and residents' front doors was unsafe so the 10 homes needed to collect mail from a local Post Office. "We apologise to residents at Severn View for the continued disruption to their mail service," a Royal Mail spokesman said on Friday. The country's prime minister has said the crime has made him consider reintroducing the death penalty. So how will the country's legal system deal with the three men charged in connection with Mrs McAreavy's murder? Although it gained independence in 1968, Mauritius has a legal system heavily influenced by its colonial past. Between 1715 and 1810 the island was a French possession and as such was ruled according to French Law. The Napoleonic Code, also known as the French Civil Code, was introduced after 1804 and when the British won possession of the island from the French in 1810 that legal system was kept in place. Over the years of British rule elements of English common law were adopted and the current legal system is a combination of French and English systems. Mauritius is still a member of the British Commonwealth and the country's supreme court of appeal is the Privy Council in London. The Indian Ocean country is recognised by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as a "stable democracy with regular free elections, a free press, the rule of law and a positive human-rights record". The suspects accused of murdering Mrs McAreavy could be held on remand for up to a year as the police and prosecutors build a case against them. Ashveen Gopee, a barrister on the island, said once police believe they have enough evidence against an arrested person, they would lodge a provisional charge of murder at a district court. The case is heard by a magistrate, who is a trained lawyer, not a lay person. "Bail acts are also similar to British law so the person would probably be denied bail," said Mr Ashveen. "A judicial inquiry will then be carried out by police officers and the case will be called back by the magistrate at different stages to see how the investigation is continuing." A formal charge of murder, or a lesser charge, is lodged against the person in a follow-up hearing. On occasion, a magistrate will strike out a case over a lack of evidence against a suspect. According to Mr Gopee a suspect can be held in a police cell for 21 days, after which time he or she must be sent to a jail until the case goes to trial. Murder cases are usually tried before a jury at the Assizes Court of Mauritius. BBC Northern Ireland reporter, Mervyn Jess, who is in Mauritius, said that now the police have a confession there will be a pooling together of all the evidence which will then be put to the director of public prosecutions. "The DPP will then decide whether or not the two men charged with murder will face those charges in court or whether they will face a lesser charge," he said. "If they are found guilty of murder they face up to 45 years in jail. If they are instead found guilty of manslaughter they face up to 18 years in jail."

Post deliveries will be reinstated to a row of properties in Torfaen after Royal Mail said walking on a grass verge was "too dangerous". [NEXT_CONCEPT] The murder of Michaela McAreavey on Mauritius has thrust the peaceful and relatively prosperous island nation into the media spotlight.

Sterling, 21, was booed by Reds fans as City won the League Cup on Sunday. The England winger left Anfield in acrimonious circumstances last summer, after rejecting a £100,000-a-week deal. "Players that cannot play in a difficult environment are not top players," said Pellegrini. "I have 100% trust in him." Sterling, who became the most expensive English player ever when he joined City for £49m in July, will start Wednesday's Premier League game. "He's a young man, a young player starting his career, but he knows how to deal with pressure," added Pellegrini. "He'll receive the same treatment as he did at the weekend, but I'm sure he can play without a problem, and he'll be a very important player, as he was in the last game." Liverpool fans jeered Sterling during Sunday's final at Wembley, which City won on penalties. "I do not understand why the Liverpool fans boo him because I think James Milner [who joined Liverpool from Manchester City] was very well received here in a similar situation," said Pellegrini. "It's not the best but I prefer to have those boos from the other team than from your own fans. "He will maybe receive the same treatment when he arrives at Anfield but I'm absolutely sure he can play without any problem." On Wednesday, league points are at stake as the Blues look to narrow the gap on leaders Leicester City. Pellegrini's side are nine points behind the Foxes but with a game in hand. Sterling was under contract at Liverpool until 2017 but turned down the offer of an improved deal to extend his five-year stay at Anfield. In an interview with BBC Sport in April, he denied being a "money-grabber". Liverpool were planning to discuss Sterling's future with him but cancelled a meeting after agent Aidy Ward said his client would "definitely" not sign. Ward was quoted as saying: "He's not signing for £700,000, £800,000, £900,000 a week. He is not signing." Sterling asked to be left out of the club's pre-season tour of the Far East and missed two days of training because of illness. He was heavily criticised by some former Liverpool players for the way he handled his departure. Officers are analysing the posts, sent after it was reported the Liverpool player was on the verge of a £49m transfer to Manchester City. One user told Sterling to hug his daughter before appearing to make threats against her. A Merseyside Police spokesman said the language used was "abhorrent". "We are taking the incident extremely seriously and an investigation by detectives in Liverpool CID is on-going," he said. Another user posted further references to Sterling's daughter along with racist comments. Many of the tweets have since been deleted. But several concerned Twitter users took screen-grabs of the posts and urged Merseyside Police to investigate. The force spokesman added: "People who use the internet to target others and who commit criminal offences such as harassment or hate crime are not beyond the law and can expect to be brought to justice." Williams, 35, said she will also miss the Miami Open later this month. The American, who won an Open era record 23rd Grand Slam at the Australian Open earlier this year, said: "I have not been able to train due to my knees." She added she would return "as soon as I can". Indian Wells organisers said a revised draw would be issued later. Williams only returned to the Californian tournament in 2015 after a 14-year boycott following claims she had suffered racist abuse at the venue. Her withdrawal means Germany's Angelique Kerber is set to replace her as world number one. Thousands had signed up on Facebook to attend Wednesday's event, but fewer than 1% arrived at the meeting point. Organisers in Santiago claimed that Chileans were tired of watching one of their stars work alone. Sanchez is yet to sign a new deal with the Gunners and is reportedly set for a move away from the Emirates.

Industrial action, the result of a dispute over the introduction of new high-speed trains, affected routes in south-west England and Wales during the bank holiday weekend. The company said it "remained hopeful" of an agreement to avoid more strikes. The dispute centres around staffing and on-board catering facilities on FGW's new fleet of Intercity trains. Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) fears guards and buffet cars will be disposed of when they come in to service in 2017. The rail company said it was able to run a "near normal" service in the Thames Valley and long-distance routes over the bank holiday weekend, however it admitted passengers had been "frustrated" by the stoppage. A statement said: "We're aware there were significant issues with the revised timetable not appearing in our journey planning tool and National Rail Enquiries until very late in the day." The company maintains it has told the RMT there will be no job losses, but the RMT said "basic assurances" had not been given.

Europe's economy growing more slowly than the UK and fears over Greece leaving the single currency are behind the rise. It comes at the most popular time of year for young adults to book holidays. Daisy Parker from travel association Abta says: "For the under-30s, with the pound at a seven-year high and day-to-day prices coming down in the eurozone, it's a great time to travel to Europe." The pound is also currently struggling at it's lowest point for a year against the dollar making trips to the America more expensive. So let's do some maths. Say you planned to spend £500 during a trip to Spain. That could get you up to 700 euros at the moment. Compare that to last year you'd be lucky to get near 600 euros. For people buying bigger items like a car from Germany or a holiday home in France the difference can now run into thousands of pounds. Some currency analysts expect things to get even better by the summer holidays. RBS economist Sebastian Burnside says things can change quickly. "So has it reached its peak? No-one knows for sure what will happen to currencies, but there'll be many more bumps in the road before a long-term solution to the Greek bailout crisis is reached. "Recent history shows that the pound has benefited from that uncertainty." If you plan on heading further away from home the pound is also flying strong against both the South African Rand and the Australian Dollar. Eighteen months ago I reported from Sydney for Newsbeat about the expense of following the British and Irish Lions. Back then you couldn't get much more than Aus $1.50 to the pound but now it's closer to Aus $2.00 making an expensive trip a touch more affordable. The question arises should we wait for the pound to get stronger? That's a tricky one. With a general election around the corner that brings uncertainty to the money markets no matter what the result. There are also the other advantages to booking now according to Daisy Parker from Abta. "Booking this far in advance gives you time to save for your holiday as well as the advantage of widespread availability, with your choice of where to stay much less restricted than booking last minute." Of course it's important to remember that the place you exchange your money to go on holiday often makes just as big a dent as variations in the currency.

Olivia Burke and Niccolai Schuster, also both 21, are expected to be buried on Wednesday, while Lorcán Miller will be laid to rest on Thursday. The sixth victim, Ashley Donohoe, 22, was buried in California on Saturday. The incident happened during a 21st birthday party in the early hours of 16 June. Five of the six people who died were Irish students based in the US as part of a work exchange programme. Mr Culligan's funeral is taking place at the Church of the Annunciation in Rathfarnham. A guard of honour was formed outside the church by students from his former school and members of the Ballyboden GAA club, where Eoghan played gaelic football. Ms Walsh's funeral is taking place at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Foxrock. Meanwhile, one of the other Irish students injured when the balcony collapsed has been released from hospital in California. Sean Fahey, from Rathmines in Dublin, is now due to travel home to Ireland. Another six students injured in the tragedy remain in hospital.

David Lord, from Westerham, denied causing Valerie Deakin's death by dangerous driving following the crash in Westerham, Kent, on Christmas Eve. Ms Deakin, 74, of Udimore, East Sussex, died when Mr Lord's Audi crashed into the town centre branch of Costa.

Another woman was treated for minor injuries. King Salman has appointed his nephew, the powerful Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, as crown prince. The king's son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been made deputy crown prince and the foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, has been replaced. King Salman, 78, acceded to the throne in January after the death of his half-brother Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz. Abdullah, who was thought to be aged about 90, had been on the throne since 2005 and Saudi Arabia's de facto leader for 10 years before that. The BBC's Kim Ghattas, who was recently in Riyadh, says this latest reshuffle shows King Salman is firmly turning the page on the era of his predecessor. He has pushed aside allies of the late monarch such as his half-brother Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz, who until Wednesday was crown prince. The rise of Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defence minister believed to be in his early 30s, means that for the first time a grandson of the kingdom's founder, King Abdul Aziz, is in line to rule. Both men will continue in their ministerial roles. The appointment of Prince Mohammed bin Nayef as crown prince and deputy premier is likely to be welcomed by the United States, with whom he has a close relationship, our correspondent says. The kingdom's veteran security chief, he is known for his strong stance against jihadist militants and narrowly survived an assassination attempt by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula suicide bomber in 2009. The new Deputy Crown Prince and Second Deputy Premier, Mohammed bin Salman, has enjoyed a meteoric rise within the Saudi leadership. He was appointed defence minister in January, and in the last month has been overseeing a military operation by a Saudi-led coalition against Houthi rebels in Yemen. King Salman has employed a more assertive, muscular foreign policy to push back against Saudi Arabia's regional rival Iran, our correspondent says. These new appointments reinforce that trend, she notes. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef Analysis: King Salman breaks with tradition A royal decree announced the reshuffle, and said Prince Saud al-Faisal, who has been in post for almost four decades, had "asked to be relieved from his duties due to his health condition". The 75 year old will be replaced by the Saudi ambassador to the US, Adel al-Jubeir, whose appointment is a rarity because such a position normally goes to a member of the royal family. Meanwhile, the most senior woman in the Saudi government, Nora al-Fayez, has been removed as deputy education minister for girls, a post she had held since 2009. She had sought to introduce sports programmes for girls in state-run schools, something opposed by religious conservatives.

The animal, also known as a thylacine, was declared extinct 80 years ago. But over the decades various people have offered hazy eyewitness accounts and undocumented physical evidence as proof that some are still out there. This week, images circulated by a group of amateur enthusiasts was met with both excitement and scepticism. The grainy video footage, posted online by the Thylacine Awareness Group, purports to show an animal with a long tail moving through a backyard. Amateur researcher Neil Waters claims it shows a small thylacine, alive and well in South Australia's Adelaide Hills. He has a theory that the carnivorous marsupial may have survived undiscovered on mainland Australia because it is an migratory apex predator which may burrow dens. "I first saw it in a book when I was a lad in primary school and it said 'presumed extinct' and it sparked something in my mind way back then that's never really gone away," he told the BBC. Mr Waters also dismisses the suggestion that the search for the creature enters the realm of cryptozoology. "There's plenty of specimens in museums around the world that proves this animal really did exist," he said. "I guess that gives us one advantage over someone that's looking for Big Foot or a UFO." Experts have roundly debunked the footage, arguing the blurry video does nothing to prove the continuing existence of the thylacine They point out that evidence of dead prey should also have been found. Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, a science commentator based at the University of Sydney, said the most surprising thing about the footage was its terrible quality. "It's remarkable that it is out of focus in a time that we have autofocus cameras," he said. His explanation for the perpetuation of the belief unexplained phenomenon is simple. "For some people the world around them, they don't understand it, so they have to make stuff up." The last known Tasmanian tiger died at Hobart zoo in 1936. The species was deliberately hunted to extinction by farmers incensed at the number of sheep killed by the carnivores. However, thousands of sighting have been reported in Tasmania and mainland Australian in the decades since. In 2005, The Bulletin magazine offered a A$1.25m (£700,000; $1m) reward for the capture of a live thylacine. Scientists have even spoken about resurrecting the species through cloning schemes reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Dr Cath Temper, a mammals expert from the South Australian museum, said the latest footage "could really be anything". While there is a remote possibility there could be a few survivors in Tasmania, she says, this is unlikely to be the real thing, as "there's never been a thylacine specimen from the mainland". "But you never know," she said. "It would be arrogant if I said there was no chance." Ross Embleton's family was attacked after the club lost to local rivals Oxford on Sunday. The club's head coach, Luke Williams, said the incident happened after an argument at full time. It happened in front of Mr Embleton's children. The matter has not been reported to police. Mr Embleton's parents were not seriously hurt, but both "struck" inside the County Ground. The club said if anybody was identified as having been involved "banning orders will be issued". Speaking to BBC Wiltshire Mr Williams said he expected criticism but said this was "too far". He said he had "no problem" with people coming down to the dugout and swearing at him. "But Ross' family were both struck by fans physically which is not acceptable. "Hitting people and attacking people's family physically is criminal and that needs to stop. "If you feel frustration and you want to vent your feelings please do it towards me, but please no more attacking people's families.

Along with diving partner Jack Laugher, 21, Mears won the men's synchronised 3m springboard final on Wednesday. The 23-year-old from Burghfield Common in Berkshire was given just a 5% chance of survival after contracting the Epstein-Barr virus in 2009. His family were in Rio to see the pair win GB's first ever diving gold medals. At the age of 16, Mears collapsed with a ruptured spleen, losing five pints of blood. Speaking to BBC Radio Berkshire before leaving for Rio, he said he had been "pretty close to death's door". "It helped me adapt to this kind of lifestyle as an athlete," he said. "That feeling that nothing could be worse than that is a good mindset to have. When you are training and feel you can't do another dive, it helps me work a bit harder. "At school I was a bit of a joker, it kick-started me to think, 'this is what's life's about - better start doing something now'." His father Paul, who watched his son take gold in Rio, said: "It was the turning point - up until then he was doing his sport because it was something he'd always done. "He got sick, nearly died and came back from that and dedicated the rest of his youth to the sport. To see it pay off in the one that really matters is just a dream come true." Jeff Pearce, a coach at Reading Central Pool, recalled how staff were "amazed at what his capabilities were" when Mears began diving lessons as a child. "He stood out like a sore thumb - his attitude, his physical ability, the things he could try were way beyond his age," he said. The pilot of flight 448, bound for Los Angeles, was alerted by the sound of banging "from beneath the aircraft", an Alaska Airlines statement said. Once back on the ground, the baggage handler emerged from the pressurised hold, saying he had fallen asleep. He "appeared OK" but went to hospital as a precaution, the airline said. Alaska Airlines later said the worker had passed a drugs test and been released from hospital. The Boeing 737 aircraft had taken off from Seattle with 170 passengers on board, and was airborne for 14 minutes. According to Alaska Airlines, the worker's team leader had noticed that the man was missing before the plane took off. The team leader had called into the cargo hold and rung the worker's mobile phone but did not get an answer. "His co-workers believed he finished his shift and went home," the airline said. The airline said the worker, employed by Menzies Aviation, started work at 05:00 local time and was due off at 14:30, but fell asleep in the cargo hold. The compartment was pressurised - so survivable at altitude - and was temperature-controlled. One passenger, Marty Collins, told a local Seattle TV station that passengers had not heard the banging. She said: "Nobody on the plane heard anything like that, nobody knew why we were turning around. They just said we were fine and we weren't in any danger." Later, Ms Collins said passengers were told "there was someone in the cargo hold and he's been escorted off and taken away". The flight later left for Los Angeles.

The man doused an ants' nest in petrol before setting it alight, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said. Flames quickly spread along a garden hedge before the man's house caught fire, melting plastic guttering, a plastic window frame and a garden chair. A fire service spokesman said: "Using petrol to eliminate an ants' nest has to be a first for us." The fire started at about 20:00 BST on Thursday. The spokesman added: "We always tell people never to use petrol or other accelerants to get a fire going. "The incident is a classic example of how even a small fire can so quickly develop into a much more serious incident." Citizens of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania are currently denied visa-free access to the US. The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution on Thursday. However, member states would have to approve the move, a process that could take years. Nevertheless, the resolution, passed by a show of hands, said the new visa rules should come into effect quickly and should remain in place until the US visa requirements were shelved. A European Parliament statement said the EU Commission was legally obliged to temporarily reintroduce the new visa rules because of its reciprocity policy. The end of American exceptionalism? US tourism industry fears downturn Trump travel ban: Pre-clearance and why it matters Under these rules, "if a third country does not lift its visa requirements within 24 months of being notified of non-reciprocity, the EU Commission must adopt a delegated act... suspending the visa waiver for its nationals for 12 months", the statement said. It said a notification of non-reciprocity was first received in April 2014 - meaning the Commission should have taken action in April 2016 - but so far it has yet to do so. Canada also has visa requirements for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, the statement said, but it has announced that these will be shelved in December. In January, President Donald Trump attempted to introduce a travel ban on people from seven mainly Muslim nations but it was blocked in the courts. He is working on a new executive order.

The unity government, led by prime minister-designate Youssef Chahed, was backed by 167 members of the 217-seat parliament. The government includes Islamists, leftists, unionists and independents. Youssef Chahed, 40, will become Tunisia's youngest prime minister since the country won its independence from France in 1956. Mr Chahed warned in parliament that an austerity programme, with public-sector job cuts and tax rises, would be inevitable if Tunisia does not overcome its economic difficulties. He was named as the next prime minister after his predecessor, the US-trained economist Habib Essid, was dismissed in a no-confidence vote last month. Mr Essid, who has been in office for less than two years, has faced criticism for what his opponents say is his failure to push through economic reforms. Unemployment has worsened since the 2011 revolution, when President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted. More than a third of young people in Tunisia are without work. The north-African state is struggling with lower tourism revenues after two Islamist militant attacks on foreign tourists last year hit what is one of its key industries. Strikes and protests over jobs have also hurt the country's important phosphate industry. Tunisia's uprising was the first of the Arab Spring, and often hailed as the most successful with the country now functioning as a parliamentary democracy. Edinburgh ended the season under interim coach Duncan Hodge after Alan Solomons' September exit, but Richard Cockerill will take over next season. "We've got the makings of a very good squad," said Berghan. "And there's a lot of talent coming through the ranks. "It's now about bringing it together and pushing on in the coming season." New Zealand-born tight-head Berghan joined Edinburgh in 2014 from Crusaders Knights, the development squad of Super Rugby franchise the Crusaders. "I've loved my time at Edinburgh Rugby so far," he said. "Front-row is a highly-competitive position and that will only drive standards. "The battle for a starting spot will be extremely tough but one in which I'll be looking to thrive." Berghan, who qualifies for Scotland via a grandfather from Stirling, was named in the national squad for the first time for this year's Six Nations. He made his debut off the bench against France and had further replacement outings against England and Italy. Berghan also made 13 appearances, 10 of them starts, for Edinburgh this season. "Simon is another great addition to our pack, especially taking into account his form of late," said Hodge, who will revert to his old role as attack coach under Cockerill. "He seems to have relished his shot at international rugby and has been using that experience to further develop his game on returning to Edinburgh. "He's still relatively young for a front-row, so we're looking forward to seeing him develop even further as part of our pack in the coming years."

Murders linked to domestic violence will carry sentences of between 12 and 30 years. President Rousseff said the new law sends a clear message to women that the state would protect them. She said 15 women were killed daily in Brazil. In other cases - such as the killing of a pregnant woman, a woman who's just given birth, girls under 14, or women over 60 - the new law provides for even longer jail terms. The new legislation alters the criminal code to describe femicide as any crime that involves domestic violence, contempt or discrimination against women. Similar legislation has been introduced in other Latin American countries such as El Salvador, which has the highest murder rate for women in the world. The Representative of UN Women in Brazil, Nadine Gasman, said "the law identifies femicide as a specific phenomena. This kind of law is preventive in nature." The new legislation deepens legislation sanctioned in 2006 by President Rousseff's predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Known as the "Maria da Penha" law, it paid tribute to Maria da Penha Maia, a woman whose ex-husband beat her for 14 years and attempted to murder her twice, leaving her paraplegic. She is a notable figure in the movement for women's rights in Brazil. The "Maria da Penha" law stated that aggressors were no longer to be punished with alternative sentences. It increased the maximum sentence from one to three years. It also ordered the removal of abusers from the home and banned them from proximity to the woman or children attacked. During her term in office, President Rousseff has enacted other laws aimed at women and girls. In August 2013, she signed legislation requiring all public hospitals to provide treatment against sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/Aids for rape victims. It requires that victims be given access to emergency contraception, and in the case of pregnancy they have the right to an abortion, illegal in Brazil in most cases. The Jags had been accused of listing an ineligible player by naming Callum Murray as a substitute in last week's game against Formartine United. But the league's management committee decided no action would be taken against the club. However, it also decided that its rules would be reworded. Murray, who did not play in the 0-0 draw with Formartine, had recently been recalled from a loan spell with Highland League rivals Deveronvale to cover for injuries. In season 1992-1993, Elgin City won the Highland League but were later stripped of the title after having been found to have fielded ineligible players. Buckie are likely to win the championship if they beat bottom side Strathspey Thistle on Saturday. The Jags and Cove Rangers are two points behind Brora Rangers, but the present leaders have played all of their games. Buckie have a superior goal difference over Cove, who face 12th-placed Lossiemouth, going into the final game of the season. The title winners will have a chance to win promotion to League Two of the Scottish Professional Football League. Victors of the Highland and Lowland Leagues will meet in a play-off to decide who should face League Two's bottom club in the play-off final.

The attack happened on the top deck of the 57 bus as it left the Silverburn shopping centre in Pollok, Glasgow, at about 22:30 last Friday night. The 14-year-old sat downstairs with a friend but then moved to the upper deck where she was assaulted and raped by two men. Police have appealed for other passengers to come forward. Bus operator First Glasgow said the driver was unaware of the assault but ejected the two men involved later in the journey due to separate unruly behaviour. Detectives said the girl engaged in conversation with two men who had boarded the bus in the city centre. Her friend, also 14, went up to see her and raised the alarm with passengers downstairs. 'Frightening experience' A woman and two men came to the girls' aid. They all left the bus two stops along from Silverburn. The passengers are said to have waited with the girls until they got another bus home, thought to be in the Darnley area of the city, where police were contacted. No CCTV footage is available from the bus. Both of the attackers are said to be aged around 18 to 20. One is about 5ft 10in, with a shaved head and wearing a black jumper. The other man has brown, spiky hair and was wearing a tracksuit which may have been grey, with a body warmer or jacket. Det Con Jackie Carroll of Strathclyde Police said: "This was a very frightening experience for the young girl concerned, and thankfully she was assisted by her friend and the Good Samaritans on the bus who ensured she got home safely. "She has been left traumatised by her ordeal. "We're continuing extensive enquiries into the incident, and would like to trace two men and woman who came to her assistance, as they will have vital information which could help with our investigation." Police said the two men were very loud and using crude and lewd comments to other passengers. The bus driver ejected them at Pollokshaws Road, near to the park, at about around 00:30 hours. A spokesman for bus operator First Glasgow said: "Our thoughts are very much with the victim of the assault." "We are assisting the police with their investigation and would echo their appeal for anyone to come forward who may have information about the incident." He added: "Our driver was not aware of the assault. Unfortunately, the incident took place on the top deck of the bus and therefore out of our driver's eyeline and no-one on board approached our driver to report a disturbance. "The driver ejected the two males in question sometime later in the journey - this was due to separate unruly behaviour."

The possible offer is pitched at £20.80 per share, which would value WS Atkins at £2bn. The UK firm says the bid is sufficiently high that it may recommend it to its shareholders, assuming a firm offer is made by 1 May. Meanwhile the FTSE 100 index fell 40 points to 7,283, down 0.4%. The biggest fall of the day came from Imagination Technologies, whose shares plunged 62% to 103p after tech giant Apple said it would end a deal to use its products. The move by Apple, Imagination's largest customer, means the loss of lucrative royalty payments.

The pound ended the day 0.6% lower against the dollar at $1.247, and 0.6% lower against the euro at 1.171 euros. Well, according to new research by consultancy Britain Thinks and job site Indeed, it's £134,170 a year. The figure is nearly five times the national average wage of £28,000. But that average conceals huge generational and regional differences, with younger people likely to believe wealth starts at lower pay levels. Just under 60% of young people believe that richness kicks in at £80,000 a year, while only 35% of those aged 65 and over would agree. Overall, 44% of UK workers consider that a person earning £80,000 is wealthy. Regional variations are also notable. In Wales, the average person considers an annual salary of £91,681 to be the point at which wealth begins. But in south east England, you'd have to be earning £162,844 to be seen as rich, 78% more than in Wales. "The labour market is creating jobs at a steady rate and unemployment is at its lowest level for more than four decades," said Mariano Mamertino, an economist at Indeed. "But wages have stagnated and British output per worker continues to languish below international trends and far behind that of many other European countries. The gap between earning the UK average wage of £28,000 and earning £80,000 will feel hard to bridge for many." The crash happened outside Holborn Underground station in High Holborn at about 09:25 BST, the Metropolitan Police said. The male cyclist, believed to be in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dr Clare Gerada, chair of the Royal College of GPs, says the government is promoting its NHS Health Check programme "against good evidence". Her comments come after The Times newspaper published a letter from Danish researchers criticising the programme. The Nordic Cochrane Centre group found health MoTs did not reduce deaths. In England, people aged 40-74 are offered a free health check. The initiative, launched in 2009, is designed to spot conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes by looking for silent risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol. Ministers have said the scheme could save 650 lives a year. But Danish researchers are questioning the policy and say health checks have no proven benefits. Their review, published in October 2012, looked at health checks offered in a number of countries, including some pilot trials in the UK a decade or more ago, though not the post-2009 programme. It concluded that general health checks failed to benefit patients and could instead cause them unnecessary worry and treatment. Dr Gerada of the RCGP shares these concerns. She said: "Governments seem to be promoting this against good evidence. "They [health checks] are not based on good evidence. They are pulling in an awful lot of people who have nothing wrong with them. And the very people you would want to be dragging in do not attend." The NHS estimates, each year, the programme could: Source: Public Health England She said the money involved would be better spent on targeted intervention. "We should be focusing on the hard-to-reach groups instead and policies like plain packaging for cigarettes and minimum pricing for alcohol." Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, defended the programme saying: "Far from being useless, there is good evidence that, if properly implemented, it could prevent thousands of cases of Type 2 diabetes a year, as well as having a positive impact for heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. "And while the £300 million it costs to run might sound like a lot of money, diabetes and other chronic conditions are expensive to treat. This means that once you factor in the savings in healthcare costs, the NHS Health Check is actually expected to save the NHS about £132 million per year." The Department of Health says the NHS Health Check programme is based on expert guidance that is continually reviewed. A spokeswoman for Public Health England said the existing relevant evidence, together with operational experience accruing on the ground, was "compelling support for the programme". She added: "We are establishing an Expert Clinical and Scientific Advisory Panel that will provide oversight of the NHS Health Check programme. "This panel will be responsible for reviewing emerging evidence and research needs. It will also promote future research, development and evaluation of this programme." When the Danish research was published in 2012, the NHS Health Check sent out an eBulletin warning that the Cochrane conclusions had little if any relevance to the NHS programme. The Cochrane authors responded rebutting the criticism and asked to have their reply published alongside. They say this was denied. They were taken off the Beatrice Alpha platform by Coastguard helicopters from Stornoway and Sumburgh after it suffered a loss of power shortly after 22:00 on Thursday.

The blue "Please offer me a seat" badge, and accompanying card, were trialled by 1,200 people in September. The badge will join TfL's "Baby on board" badge for pregnant women as a permanent feature from spring 2017. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan called the roll out "great news" for Londoners. During the trial, 72% of journeys were said to be easier as a result of the badge, while in 86% of trips participants reported feeling more confident when asking for a seat. There is no set definition of conditions that qualify for the badge and card, but TfL say the system will be based on trust - as with its "Baby on board" badge scheme. Twitter user @BlueTube2016, who blogged about her experience during the trial, said: "Before I had the badge, I was always really anxious about travelling on peak. "Without something to see, I didn't want to risk being interrogated about my invisible disability, or have to justify my need for a seat, so I suffered in silence. "Before I had the badge, I never had the confidence to ask for a seat unless I had a visible sign," she said. While welcoming the scheme, Alan Benson, chair of Transport for All, warned that some customers "don't want to use a badge and card". "We want to see those people supported too, and for everyone to get a seat who needs one." When it is launched, TfL will become the first European transport provider to officially recognise hidden impairments in such a way, it is believed. Mark Anderson tied up Nigel Poustie and beat him with a baseball bat and hammer before scalding him with boiling water. Anderson kept Mr Poustie hostage at his Dundee flat overnight before the 49-year-old managed to escape. Mr Poustie was subsequently discovered seriously injured in the street and later died in the city's Ninewells Hospital. Judge Lord Boyd told Anderson, 51, he had subjected Mr Poustie to "the most appalling attack, which can only be described as torture." The judge said at the High Court in Edinburgh: "One can only imagine the fear he experienced during this time." Anderson was originally charged with murder but admitted a reduced charge of culpable homicide. Mr Poustie was described in court as a "poor soul" who had suffered personal problems following the death of his mother. Mr Poustie and Anderson were said to have had a falling-out which led the killer to state to another friend: "I will torture him". Prosecutor Adrian Cottam said that Mr Poustie was tortured overnight in Anderson's flat after being strapped to a chair and repeatedly punched. He was also hit on the legs with a hammer and baseball bat. Mr Cottam told the court: "He repeatedly begged him to stop. "Anderson said he had betrayed him and would take what was given to him." Mr Poustie then had a pillow case put over Mr Poustie's head as he sat "immobilised" in the chair. Anderson told a woman in the house to boil a kettle, and a cup of boiling water was poured over Mr Poustie's head. After leaving Anderson's home, Mr Poustie was seen looking "injured and disorientated" and later collapsed in the street. He was taken to hospital, but suffered a cardiac arrest and never recovered. Mr Poustie sustained extensive bruising and scalding, but existing health issues were a factor in his death. Anderson was arrested four days later and initially claimed his victim must have been hit by a car or fallen over. Defence counsel Mark Stewart QC said Anderson had shown "genuine remorse and sorrow" for what had happened. He said: "I am asked to publicly offer his sincerest apologies to the family. "The accused did not for a minute perceive the consequences of what happened. "When the deceased left the accused's house, the accused genuinely believed he was not in any danger of serious harm."

The deal between the Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party means there will be a single candidate from the two parties. The DUP will step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and Newry and Armagh. The UUP will step aside in East Belfast and North Belfast. Sinn Féin has now called on the SDLP to form a pact. However, the SDLP told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster that it was against the idea, calling the unionist move "a sectarian carve-up". The unionist pact includes the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, which Sinn Féin held in 2010 by a margin of just four votes. Despite six months of negotiations, the unionist parties were not able to agree a single unionist candidate for South Belfast. However, DUP leader Peter Robinson described the unionist pact as the "most comprehensive electoral agreement between our two parties in the last 29 years". He said it would help to "reduce the number of non-unionists returned" to Westminster. UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said their aim was to "get the pro-union vote out" in May's general election. Two of the four constituencies are currently held by Sinn Féin, whose MPs do not take their seats at Westminster under a long-standing policy of abstentionism. This time, the DUP has agreed to step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, where the party will encourage its supporters to vote for former UUP leader Tom Elliott. Similarly the DUP will not field a candidate in Newry and Armagh, where the UUP's only Stormont minister, Danny Kennedy, is standing for election. In turn, the UUP will support former DUP Mayor of Belfast Gavin Robinson in his bid to win back the East Belfast seat from Alliance - Naomi Long unseated the DUP leader at the last general election. The UUP has also agreed not to stand in North Belfast, where the DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds faces a challenge for his seat from Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly. The DUP leader said grassroots unionists wanted to see his party working with the UUP to "maximise the unionist vote". "I commend the constituency associations from both parties who have considered the bigger picture and accepted they should stand aside in the greater interests of unionism," Mr Robinson said. "With a predicted hung parliament, I am calling on all unionists to unite behind these agreed candidates and maximise the pro-union voice in the House of Commons." The UUP leader said he acknowledged "there will be those who feel disappointed that no understanding was possible in South Belfast". "The key now is to get the pro-union vote out on 7 May, not just in South Belfast but across Northern Ireland," Mr Nesbitt said. The DUP is currently the fourth largest party at Westminster, while the UUP has no MPs. East Belfast Alliance MP Naomi Long said: "The DUP clearly now know that Gavin Robinson cannot win against Alliance in a fair fight, so they have resorted to this anti-democratic move in a desperate attempt to strengthen their position. "Many UUP voters were already disillusioned by the party's involvement in whipping up sectarian tensions around flags and parades and this decision will only serve to further alienate them. "This decision has sounded the death knell for the UUP in East Belfast, who have abandoned their voters without gaining any truly winnable seats in return." The EuroMillions ticket for the 8 June draw was bought in the Stevenage or Hitchin area of Hertfordshire.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this staggering amount of money. "The vast majority of prizes are claimed within the 180 days but to avoid this unfortunate situation happening again, we would urge all National Lottery players to check their tickets on a regular basis."

Odlanier Mena, who was 87 years old, was serving a six-year jail term. The crimes were allegedly part of the "Caravan of Death" - a military operation thought to have killed more than 100 opponents of the 1973 coup. On Thursday, President Sebastian Pinera announced plans to close the jail where Mena was being held. A lawyer representing Mena said his client had been worried about having to be moved from Cordillera to another military facility at Punta Peuco. Mena is said to have shot himself in the head at home on Saturday. He had been due to return to prison the following day. At Cordillera, prisoners have access to the internet, cable TV, a tennis court, gardens and a barbecue area. "He had been terribly upset by the move. It affected him a lot that in Punta Peuco he would not have the medical attention he needed," Jorge Balmaceda told 24 Horas TV. The comfortable conditions at the prison have been sharply criticised by many in Chile, including former Presidents Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet. Critics say military prisoners should not be given different treatment to others serving prison terms. President Pinera's decision to move the prisoners of Cordillera to Punta Peuco also follows a controversial interview by one of its 10 inmates, the notorious former head of Pinochet's intelligence agency, Manuel Contreras, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the 1973 coup. Contreras told reporters there was no torture at the Villa Grimaldi, one of the secret police's main complexes, and that all of the dead during the Pinochet dictatorship were killed in armed confrontations with security forces. More than 3,000 people died or disappeared in Chile between 1973 and 1990 and nearly 30,000 are believed to have been tortured. Allegations that a Spaniard was behind the killing were being investigated, Johnny Rodrigues said. The lion, named Cecil, was shot with a crossbow and rifle, before being beheaded and skinned, he added. The 13-year-old lion was a major tourist attraction at Zimbabwe's famous Hwange National Park. Zimbabwe, like many African countries, is battling to curb illegal hunting and poaching which threatens to make some of its wildlife extinct. Mr Rodrigues, the head of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, said the use of a bow and arrow heralded a new trend aimed at avoiding arrest. "It's more silent. If you want to do anything illegal, that's the way to do it," he told BBC's Newsday programme. However, the lion, which had a distinctive black mane, did not die immediately and was followed for more than 40 hours before it was shot with rifle, Mr Rodrigues said. The animal had a GPS collar for a research project by UK-based Oxford University, allowing authorities to track its movements. Mr Rodrigues said Cecil's killing was tragic. "He never bothered anybody. He was one of the most beautiful animals to look at." The lion had been "baited" out of the park, a tactic which hunters used to portray their action as legal, Mr Rodrigues said. Two guides had been arrested and if it was confirmed that the hunter was a Spaniard, "we will expose him for what he is", he added. The six cubs of Cecil will now be killed, as a new male lion in the pride will not allow them to live in order to encourage the lionesses to mate with him. "That's how it works... it's in the wild; it's nature taking its course," Mr Rodrigues said.

The 29-year-old made 19 appearances for the London club, scoring 78 points. He had signed from English Premiership rivals Wasps last summer. Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston said: "The approach from Scotland and Glasgow Warriors was a golden opportunity for Ruaridh to further his international career following the recent summer tour." Jackson, who earned his 31st cap as Scotland lost to Fiji in June, was with Warriors for six seasons before moving to Wasps. He rejoins Glasgow as Dave Rennie prepares to take charge of the Pro14 club following Gregor Townsend's step up to become Scotland coach. Jackson, whose side finished sixth in the English top flight, said: "I have had a great experience playing in the Aviva Premiership for the last few years with two great clubs in Harlequins and Wasps. "The move back to Glasgow is a great chance for me to head back to play in a revamped Pro14 league. "It is a step into both the known and the unknown, but I'm really excited for the challenge ahead. "Playing in England has been a good experience and one that has made me a better and more rounded player. "I still see myself as a 10, but I'm happy to play either there or at full-back." Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Jason O'Halloran is looking forward to working with Jackson. "Ruaridh is an experienced player who will add to the competition we have within our squad," he said. "He knows the club well from his previous time here and can play in a number of positions in the backline." The move is seen as a way to improve animal welfare and develop responsible dog ownership by helping identify strays. It is estimated 190,000 dogs will need to be microchipped before the March 2015 deadline. Nearly 60% of dogs in Wales have chips, which have coded owners' details. In England, compulsory microchipping will not come into force until April 2016. Some charities offer the procedure for free but it costs about £20-£30 at a private veterinary clinic. It involves inserting a sterile chip the size of a grain of rice between a dog's shoulder blades. The Welsh minister for Natural Resources Alun Davies said it was increasingly important to have a method of tracing dogs back to their owners. "Dog owners already have a duty of care under the Animal Welfare Act but it can be difficult to ensure that this duty is being met without a reliable form of identification," he said. "By microchipping all dogs in Wales we can formalise the relationship between an owner and pet and ensure an increased level of accountability." Mr Davies said public consultation had shown there is "overwhelming support" for the plans. According to the Dogs Trust - which has a re-homing centre in Bridgend - the total number of stray dogs in Wales increased from 9,482 in 2011 to 10,230 in 2012. The charity plans to offer free microchipping to dog owners in Wales before the regulations come in. The trust's chief executive officer, Clarissa Baldwin, said: "Microchipping involves a minimal one-off cost, but the benefits last a life-time. "The reality is that no matter how responsible an owner you are there is a chance your dog could get lost or stolen - micro-chipping is the most effective way to assist in a lost dog being returned to its owner." The British Veterinary Association's (BVA) Welsh branch secretary, Bob Stevenson, said: "This is fantastic news for dog welfare in Wales. "Microchipping provides veterinary practices, charities, and dog wardens with the ability to reunite lost and stray dogs quickly and safely with their owners. "It is important to remember that microchips are only as useful as the information held on the database and we must all work together with the Welsh government to ensure that dog owners understand the importance of keeping their information up to date." Compulsory microchipping came into force in Northern Ireland last year.

Frankly, British prime ministers and governments have often found it hard to slot in. And since the referendum, what has always been a tricky relationship has taken on new layers of complexity, upset and uncertainty too. There will be no significant discussions about how we leave the European Union, no digging through the details. Leader after leader made that perfectly clear as they stepped out of their shiny black BMWs, arriving at the summit on Thursday afternoon. Even if Theresa May had made up her mind, and persuaded the cabinet to do the same - which, remember, is a long way off - European leaders will not engage in much more than small talk until the technical legal process has begun. And there is not much appetite for making it easy either. As French President Francois Hollande, with a stinging Gallic shrug, said: If Theresa May wants a "hard Brexit", the negotiations "will be hard". He, of course is in rather a lot of trouble at home, so perhaps, just perhaps, sounding off about something else could provide a useful domestic distraction. Of course, Number 10 hopes to build up the vital relationships here, to turn the pleasantries into meaningful exchanges. But Theresa May's first summit here as prime minister was not a day for details, let alone decisions. But to dismiss it would be to miss the political point. Theresa May finds herself in a weird political twilight zone. She's been keen to reassure EU leaders on Thursday, particularly after the febrile atmosphere of the Tory conference, that Britain is - today, tomorrow and after Brexit - a dependable ally. Whatever was said on the fringes in Birmingham, her decision to talk immediately about the importance of Europe taking a strong united approach on Russia, is a signal that she wants her counterparts to believe that Britain isn't just in a headlong rush to the exit door, and won't crash out of the union in chaos. Her desire for what Number 10 call a "smooth Brexit" is designed to reassure. How many of her counterparts believe that's remotely possible, is a rather different question. Watching her meet and greet the other EU leaders was seeing a leader go through the familiar political choreography. Tony Blair always seemed to try to "work" the whole room, like the host at a weird cocktail party where the guests weren't really friends. Gordon Brown seemed to opt to engage intently with a favoured serious few. David Cameron often appeared to try to get as close as possible to the influential others, often cracking a few jokes, performing for the cameras, as he settled down to business. Watching Theresa May press the flesh in her more formal way, I was struck that she believes she will be the last British prime minister to do so, and unless something extremely unexpected happens, that will come to pass. And that's why today matters. We're seeing the first few encounters in a political relationship that will shape her future, and of course, all of ours. The prime minister's most significant act in office is likely to be leading us out of the European Union.And how that departure unfolds will be decided by the group gathered here. The prime minister's success or failure in Number 10 will likely be decided here in Brussels - not in Britain.

It follows the Rooney Rule, established in 2003, which requires NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate for head coaching or senior football operation jobs. Jen Welter was a member of the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff in pre-season, while Kathryn Smith recently became the first full-time female coach with an NFL team when she was hired by the Buffalo Bills. At boardroom level, Katie Blackburn is the long-serving executive vice-president of the Cincinnati Bengals, while Amy Trask was the Oakland Raiders' chief executive officer from 1997 until 2013. There is also a female game official - Sarah Thomas - in the NFL. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking at the league's Women's Summit in the build-up to Super Bowl 50, said: "We believe in diversity. We believe that we're better as an organisation when we have good people at the table." Mr Coyne said he was "deeply disappointed, but not surprised" by his dismissal, which he says he was notified of by email. He was suspended in April after accusations of bringing Unite into disrepute. Mr Coyne said he would appeal against the decision. Mr Coyne said he faced seven charges at a disciplinary hearing but three were thrown out before it got under way and three more were dismissed in the final hearing. The seventh charge, he said, related to an alleged technical data breach, which was claimed to have damaged the relationship between Unite and the Labour Party. "This preposterous trumped-up charge has been used to indict me - even though the returning officer from Electoral Reform Services had already ruled that there was no breach of the rules," Mr Coyne added. During the proceedings, he said "no complaint was raised" about the way he carried out the role in the 16 years he held it. But, he says he was told union rules required his role to be "the general secretary's representative in the region". "It was implied that, because of the way I criticised Len McCluskey during the campaign, I could not fulfil that role," he added. "It was always clear to me that the charges were nothing more than a stitch-up. My real 'crime' was having the audacity to challenge Mr McCluskey in the General Secretary election that he called unnecessarily," he added. "It is a public warning to any member of Unite's staff who is thinking of challenging the way the McCluskey gang run the union: step out of line and you will be out of a job. Political dissent is not tolerated inside Unite." A spokesman for the union said: "The decision is subject to a right of appeal to Unite's executive council, and the union will be offering no further comment on the matter."

America's 14-time major champion, 41, came back after 15 months out injured in December, but has not played since his back problems recurred in February. Plans to compete at Augusta in April - on the 20th anniversary of his first Masters win - had to be abandoned. "I want to play professional golf again but I'm not looking ahead," he said. "I can't twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals." Woods' first return to competitive action came in December at the Hero World Challenge - an 18-man tournament in the Bahamas - and he finished 15th at the PGA Tour event. He has not won a tournament anywhere since 2013, while his title drought in major championships dates back to 2008. "It has been just over a month since I underwent fusion surgery on my back, and it is hard to express how much better I feel. It was instant nerve relief. I haven't felt this good in years," he wrote on his website. "The long-term prognosis is positive. My surgeon and physiotherapist say the operation was successful. I'm walking and doing my exercises, and taking my kids to and from school. All I can do is take it day by day. There's no hurry. "But I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again." Media playback is not supported on this device It is the first time the procedure has been performed in Europe. The technique, originally developed in India, offers patients the chance of a much faster recovery after the operation. Normally a kidney transplant would involve serious open surgery and a sizeable incision to perform the transplant. The team at the Royal Liverpool used keyhole surgery to implant the donor kidney through an incision of just 6cm (2in). A smaller incision is a lot less invasive for the patient and heals more quickly. The technique was developed by Prof Pranjal Modi at the Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre in Ahmedabad. He said: "It is tremendously beneficial to the patient. I talk one-to-one to all the patients and they are so happy. "Their outcomes are so good that I am encouraged to do it further and further." Brian Blanchfield, a company director, had spent years living with a failing kidney before his sister Pam donated one of hers. He was up and about just four days after the operation. He told the BBC: "I'm feeling good. "They said I'd be the first one to do it, and the interesting thing was they asked me where I wanted the kidney to go. "So they went through my appendix scar, as there was already a cut line there." Sanjay Mehra, a consultant transplant surgeon at the Royal Liverpool, who assisted with the operation, believes there are significant benefits. "[In the past] the scar has been around 20-25cm for the renal transplant patients," she said. "But here the scar is around 6cm, so there is a huge difference in the size of the scar, which has a cosmetic benefit. "But also in the long scar there is muscle cutting, which can give problems in the long term." Elaine Davies, director of research operations for Kidney Research UK, says about 6,000 people - roughly 90% of the total organ waiting list - are waiting for a kidney. But fewer than 3,000 transplants are carried out each year. She said: "As this new technique results in the creation of a smaller wound, it limits surgical complications and improves recovery time, which will ultimately be better for the patient. "Keyhole surgery for the retrieval of kidneys has already made a big difference to donors. "As long as this technique for transplanting a kidney is proven to be as safe and as effective as the current technique, we welcome this development." This is not a technique that will be used in every kidney transplant. It is most suitable for those patients who are very overweight, where major abdominal surgery carries greater risk. But it shows how keyhole surgery is now providing new options for surgeons in even the most complicated operations.

It warned of a risk of serious injury and advised people take precautions. It recommends jogging to warm up and avoiding the mulled wine. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said falling over and bumping into people was part of the fun, but there were safety precautions. The chairman of the Society of Sports Therapists, Prof Graham Smith, told the BBC: "It was not about going 'bah, humbug'. Have fun, but be careful." He said: "While it is a fun sport it can be very dangerous and should be treated with a large degree of respect, especially as for some, it is something that is done only once or twice a year." By contrast regular skaters learn "how to fall properly". If you fall, he recommends tucking your arms in and rolling - rather than putting you hand out to stop the fall, which could damage the hand or be hit by another skater's blades. He said the hazards were greater for older people. Peter Cornall, head of leisure safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: "Leisure activities should be as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible; when going ice skating this means you should expect to fall over and for others to bump into you - in fact, that is part of the fun. "If you're going skating, wearing a pair of gloves is always a good idea, as is wearing whatever protective kit the rink operators give you and lacing up your skates properly. He also warned people not to over-estimate their ability: "you probably won't be able to recreate what you see during the Winter Olympics," he said. The Modern Family actress took to social media after suggestions she looked anorexic in a recent photo. Hyland underwent a kidney transplant in 2012 after battling kidney dysplasia her whole life. "I'm not in control of what my body looks like," the actress said in a post on Twitter. "I strive to be as healthy as possible, as everyone should." Kidney dysplasia is a condition which can eventually cause the organ to malfunction. Hyland made the comments after some fans suggested she looked anorexic in a recent Instagram post. "No, that's not Photoshop, those are my legs, those are my arms," she said. "I write this because I've been accused of promoting anorexia, in, ironically enough, an anti-bullying post. And I want young girls to know that's not my intention." Hyland has previously said: "I was born with so many health issues that doctors told my mother I would never have a normal life." It's unclear what other health problems she has - but her father donated one of his kidneys for her transplant in 2012. "This year has brought a lot of changes, and with that, physical changes," Hyland said. "I've been told that I can't work out. Which, for me is very upsetting." "Being strong has gotten me where I am, both mentally and physically. I am not a fan of 'being skinny' which many of you have told me I'm too much of." Speaking about her recent health problems, the actress said: "I've basically been on bed rest for the last few months, I've lost a lot of muscle mass. She concluded: "I've been down before and I'll probably be down again in my lifetime but I'm steadfast and solid and will conquer my obstacles."

The American made six birdies to finish on 17-under-par, ahead of Harris English in second, while Ryan Palmer and Webb Simpson ended tied-third. Victory in Texas was Spieth's first since his final day collapse at the Masters in Augusta last month. "That is a tough hump to get over," said Spieth, 22. "To win in front of my home fans, what a great week." "I was never going to come out and say it until I was able to get over it - but that was a really tough hurdle for me to get over. "I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through on that back nine at the Masters, so to win on the third tournament back [was great]". Leading by one shot overnight, Spieth levelled through the first nine, before making six birdies on the back nine to claim his eighth PGA Tour triumph and the first in his home state of Texas. Spieth, who is from Dallas just 33 miles away from the course, is the youngest eight-time winner in 86 years since Horton Smith. He is also the second youngest eight-time winner in PGA history. "Victory means a lot and the crowds were fantastic. It was a really cool atmosphere to play for. I stayed patient and the birdies came in streaks."

The author passed away on Tuesday following a short illness, according to his publisher Harper Collins. The first book about the marmalade-loving bear appeared in 1958. There has been a flurry of tributes across social media, including people sharing many images of their childhood bears. Alongside the picture of his teddy, above, James Stone posted on Twitter: "Safe Trip Michael Bond and thank you for Paddington". Next to her picture Louise Marchal says: "Old, battered, a bit dusty & missing his hat but still a dear & treasured bear #Paddington. Thank you Michael Bond R.I.P." Author and journalist David M. Barnett shared this picture and told the BBC that Paddington is the childhood toy of his wife, Claire. Among other national figures, Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson posted their appreciation of Bond and his work to stress his kindliness, gentleness and charm. Meanwhile, author Aaron Gillies posted: "Paddington Bear is a brilliant story about an immigrant trying to find a new home in a strange country. RIP Michael Bond you fantastic human" And Leah Kreitzman, Director of External and International Affairs for the Mayor of London, quoted from the Paddington stories:"In London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in," adding: "RIP Michael Bond, and thank you ðŸ The League One club's game against Doncaster on Sunday has been postponed by the Rugby Football League. A joint statement from the RFL, York Council and York City FC said they "firmly believe there is a future for professional rugby league in York". Knights head coach James Ford has also revealed that there are people considering a takeover of the club. "I'm probably a little bit out of my remit, but I know there are potentially one or two people interested," he told BBC Radio York. "I think primarily we need to stabilise this year, get through our fixtures and make a real crack at these Super 8s." Meanwhile, York Council has said plans for a new community stadium will not change despite the Knights' uncertain future. Knights were set to share the stadium with York City, whose Bootham Crescent ground is currently used by both teams, when it opens in the spring of 2018. The joint statement said: "We continue to work to resolve this situation and are hopeful that ways can be found for James Ford and his players to be able to fulfil the remainder of their fixtures. "Whatever the Knights' future, there is a future for the Community Stadium and community facilities in York, which are all progressing well." Holyhead Coastguard received a 999 call on Sunday reporting the pair, believed to be from Birmingham, had got into difficulty off Barmouth beach. The RNLI said the sea search was suspended at 18:30 BST, though a search of the shoreline is continuing. A Coastguard spokeswoman said there had been an "intensive search" for the boys, reportedly aged 14 and 15, but "sadly they have not been found". "It looks like there were two people in difficulty and another person in their same group went in to help," she said. "That person managed to get out of the water - both the other two were still in difficulty." She said the Coastguard had been told one person had been seen to "disappear under the water". Rescue teams from Barmouth, Aberdovey and Fairbourne and a helicopter from Caernarfon joined the search. The RNLI said: "Barmouth RNLI's inshore lifeboat was requested to launch by HM Coastguard at 13:40 and the station's all-weather lifeboat was launched 10 minutes later." It said other teams joined the search, but it added: "Shortly before 18:30 HM Coastguard suspended the sea search and the RNLI lifeboats returned to their respective stations. "They will be made ready to relaunch as and when requested by HM Coastguard." The Welsh Ambulance Service and North Wales Police also attended.

Activist Abdelsalam al-Mismari was killed as he left a mosque after Friday prayers, officials said. A retired air force colonel and a senior police officer were also killed in separate attacks. Libya's government is struggling to control armed groups nearly two years after Muammar Gaddafi was toppled. The BBC's Rana Jawad in the capital Tripoli says that although Benghazi has witnessed many targeted killings, Friday saw the first assassination of an activist. Mr Mismari, a lawyer, was one of the earliest organisers of protests that eventually led to the overthrow of dictator Col Muammar Gaddafi. He later became a critic of the armed groups that helped to topple Gaddafi but which have since refused to lay down their weapons. He has also opposed the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. "He was coming out of Friday prayers when he was shot," said Benghazi security spokesman Mohammed al-Hijazy. "It seems it may have been the work of a sniper because he was shot in the heart." His colleague and friend Hannah Ghallal told the BBC Mr Mismari was "a hero and a man of principle who did what he preached". Fighting back tears, she added that his death was a loss for Libya. A large crowd later gathered in central Benghazi to protest against the killing. Our correspondent says Mr Mismari's death marks a potentially dangerous turning point. Some feel it is an attempt to silence civic groups, she adds. In separate attacks on Friday, retired air force Colonel Salem al-Sarah was killed as he emerged from a mosque and police Colonel Khatab Abdelrahim al-Zwei was shot dead at the wheel of his car, officials said. Benghazi has seen a number of violent incidents since the fall of Gaddafi, including an attack on the US consulate last September in which the US ambassador and three other US citizens were killed. Playcraft Live will be performed at the city's Playhouse Theatre on 14 October. It will simultaneously be streamed to the world online via the theatre's website, Minecraft and Youtube. Slipping between both stage and game world, the story will unfold across different locations and times. Minecraft is the second-best-selling videogame of all time. It allows players to build things using cubic blocks and take part in exploration, engineering, crafting and combat. The game is hugely popular with children and young teenagers. The production will see the dramatisation of a script, written specifically for Playcraft by Alex Scarrow, author of the teen science fiction series of novels, Time Riders. The story is based between books one and two of his Time Riders series. Online audiences will experience the production as a live-stream simulcast. For those lucky enough to be part of the Playhouse audience, they will be able to see the physical actor on stage communicating the play to them. They will also see a stream of the digital version of that actor, within the Minecraft world, projected onto a screen. These avatars will be developed and built by Minecraft experts operating from an adjacent room. Kieran Griffiths, creative director at the Playhouse Theatre, said he was excited to be introducing something "completely new to the world of theatre". "The production is hugely ambitious and a definite step into the unknown, but a tremendous opportunity to allow two artistic worlds to come together and learn from each other," Mr Griffiths said. The project will also involve renowned creative producer Adam Clarke and digital educators MakeMatic. It has been commissioned by The Space, which is funded by the BBC and Arts Council England. "I suppose the thorny rose in between is the technology," Mr Griffiths said. "Over the coming months we have to remove the thorns and make sure that rose is passed gracefully. "At the end of it, we hope to produce an educational asset whereby we will see online amateur societies creating their own world within Minecraft." Throughout the summer, Minecraft fans will be invited to join in on the production, find out more about the play and contribute to the process along the way.

Brian Stack, who was Chief Prison Officer at Portlaoise Prison in the Irish Republic, was shot in Dublin in 1983. He died 18 months later. The IRA never claimed responsibility for the murder, but his family believe he was targeted because of his job. His son, Austin Stack, described the meeting as very productive and genuine. Two of the murdered officer's sons met Mr Adams at the Irish houses of parliament in Dublin on Thursday evening. Speaking after the meeting, Austin Stack told the Irish state broadcaster RTE that no promises has been made, but that the Sinn Fein president had agreed to help them as best he could. Mr Stack added that his family felt the offer was genuine and said they are due to meet Mr Adams again in about four weeks. His father was shot in the back of the neck as he walked along Dublin's South Circular Road shortly after leaving a boxing tournament. He was the only prison officer to be assassinated in the Republic of Ireland during the Troubles. The man who carried out the shooting escaped on a motorbike, driven by an accomplice. The prison officer was left brain damaged and paralysed from the neck down by the shooting and died from his injuries. Austin Stack, the eldest of his three children, was 14 at the time of the shooting and is now the assistant governor of Wheatfield Prison in west Dublin. He said he believes the IRA carried out the attack because his father thwarted a number attempts by members of the paramilitary group to escape from Portlaoise Prison and to smuggle weapons into the high security jail. Mr Stack has said he wants the IRA to admit responsibility for his father's murder and his family want answers and closure from their discussions with the Sinn Fein president. They have asked Mr Adams to speak to his contacts about the killing in the hope they can find out who carried it out and why. "We're not looking for any form of revenge. We would like to sit down with those people, talk to them and get some form of responsibility." Mr Adams, who stepped down as MP for West Belfast to become a member of the Irish parliament two years ago, has consistently denied that he was ever a member of the IRA. Speaking after the meeting, the Sinn Fein president told RTE it had been a "good" and "comprehensive discussion". "There are many families who are looking for closure. It may be that I won't be able to help but I certainly have the desire to be of assistance," Mr Adams said. He added: "We have each agreed to go off and reflect on what was said. And we have agreed to meet again." Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny told a gathering in Philadelphia on Sunday that the decision had been taken at a cabinet meeting last week. He said it was a "clear recognition of the importance that Ireland attached to her citizens wherever they were". The move was recommended by a Constitutional Convention in 2013. Last July, the Diaspora Minister Joe McHugh said there was a commitment to hold a referendum. An options paper will be published later this month outlining arrangements on how to register citizens abroad, and how to facilitate voting outside of the Republic of Ireland. This will then be discussed during the Global Irish Civic Forum in Dublin in May. The referendum is unlikely to be held this year, and if it passes, would come into effect for the presidential election after the one set for 2018. During his visit to Philadelphia, at the beginning of the taoiseach's annual St Patrick's Day trip, Mr Kenny told a separate gathering that the "plight" of thousands of illegal Irish immigrants living in the United States would be an "absolute priority" during his visit. He has vowed to raise the issue with President Donald Trump and said that undocumented Irish immigrants wanted to remain and contribute in the US.

"Tigers is a massive club and playing in big games is one of the main reasons you want to be here. I'm very glad to be doing that," Tait said. Rizzo, 34, has played seven times for Leicester this season since returning from injury at the end of January. He said: "It is a privilege for me to play for the Tigers and from the moment I joined Leicester felt like home." Second-row Harry Wells and versatile forward Harry Thacker, both 23, have also agreed deals but, in keeping with club policy, the length of contracts have not been revealed. The problems began when a freight train became stuck in the Channel Tunnel earlier. Separate power supply issues on the UK side followed, with Eurotunnel saying it was operating a reduced timetable. A spokesman for the operator apologised and said the power issue in the tunnel had now been resolved and both lines were working. Passengers waited in long queues to board the shuttles, while others were stuck inside trains. John Allen, from Canterbury, tweeted of "Eurotunnel shambles", and said he would be using the ferry in future. Kate Sharp tweeted: "Trapped inside your train. Been waiting 5 hours at Eurotunnel Folkstone. Awful service! When will we be moving???". PR director Ali Ineson added: "Maybe if we all get out and push @Eurotunnel ? going a little bit delirious stuck on this train going nowhere." John Keefe, from Eurotunnel, said delays had peaked at five hours but hoped they would reduce quickly.

Ten years on from his death we look back at his life. It called on the UN Security Council to take action. Turkey carried out a second day of shelling on Sunday of Kurdish forces advancing in northern Aleppo province. Ankara views the Kurdish militia in Syria as allied to the outlawed PKK, which has carried out a decades-long campaign for autonomy in Turkey. But the United States and others back the Kurdish militia in Syria, the YPG, in its fight against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group. Syria has accused Turkey of violating its sovereignty by backing "al-Qaeda-linked terrorists" in the north and has warned it has a right to respond. "Turkish artillery shelling of Syrian territory constitutes direct support to the armed terrorist organisations," the Syrian government said in letters to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council's Chairman. The letters accused Turkey of allowing about 100 gunmen - believed to be either "Turkish soldiers or Turkish mercenaries" - to cross into Syria. "[Syria] will maintain its legitimate right to respond to the Turkish crimes and attacks and to claim compensation for the damage caused." France's foreign ministry has also urged Turkey to end its assault on Kurdish fighters in northern Syria. Syria's war hardly needs a new front, but another has now opened up. Ankara sees the Kurdish PYD party and its YPG militia as terrorist organisations. It's worried that weapons are seeping over the border from Syria to the PKK, with which Turkey has renewed its armed conflict since a ceasefire broke down last year. Washington rejects Ankara's view that the PYD is a terrorist organisation, seeing it instead as an effective ally against so-called Islamic State (IS). That has caused rifts between the two Nato allies and is hampering international peace talks. Syria is the stage for several proxy wars, and Turkey has just started another, going after its Kurdish nemesis there and vowing to stop the PYD from cementing control of northern Syria. How Putin is succeeding in Syria Displaced Syrians struggle to survive Syria: The story of the conflict Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds: What's going on? Russia meanwhile has announced that the US and Russian presidents have agreed in a "frank and business-like" phone call to work more closely to implement the agreement reached in Munich on Thursday, under which world leaders pledged to work towards a cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week. Russia is an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has been carrying out air strikes since September against what it terms "terrorists". Russia argues that the "cessation" does not apply to its air strikes, which have tilted the balance of the war in favour of the Syrian government. A Kremlin statement insisted that Russia remained committed to its battle against IS and "other terrorist organisations" fighting the Syrian government. Some of these groups are deemed moderate by the West. Turkey's shelling of the Kurdish militia in Syrian began on Saturday. The YPG rejects Turkey's demand to leave areas it has seized, saying Islamists would return if it left. Almost five years of civil war in Syria have led to the deaths of more than 250,000 people. More than 11 million people have been displaced.

The 28-year-old was hit by a straight drive from Sam Hain and was bleeding but managed to walk off the pitch with the help of a physio. He was taken to hospital and Notts later confirmed he had a concussion. Players from both sides were visibly shaken by the incident, with some in tears as the match was held up. The match resumed after a 30-minute delay with Birmingham chasing down Notts' total of 158 to win by six wickets. Notts head coach Peter Moores came out to talk to his players on the pitch and the players then returned to their respective dressing rooms. Notts and England bowler Jake Ball posted a picture on Twitter to show his team-mate was in good spirits, apparently in the back of an ambulance. Moores told BBC Radio Nottinghamshire that it was a tough decision to restart the game. "The lads were shaken up. I mean one of your mates has just gone down. "We all sat in there [the dressing room] for 20 minutes. A few lads were struggling a bit, but it seemed the right decision to go back and carry the game on. "Credit to the umpires, they gave us that half-hour to decide what we were going to do." Nottingham-born Fletcher made his first-class debut for Notts in 2008 and has taken more than 350 wickets across the various formats of the game. He was part of the side that earlier this month beat Surrey to win the One-Day Cup at Lord's. Media playback is not supported on this device His interview with GQ Style marks the first time the actor has spoken publicly about the split. "I just started therapy," Pitt said. "I love it. I love it. I went through two therapists to get to the right one." He admitted to heavy drinking and pot smoking in the past and said he cut himself off emotionally from others. "I'm personally very retarded when it comes to taking inventory of my emotions. I'm much better at covering up," the star added. Jolie announced in September 2016 that she was filing for divorce from the actor. The couple had been together since 2004 but only married in 2014. The pair became embroiled in a bitter child custody dispute in the months following the announcement of their split. Pitt was investigated for possible child abuse after losing his temper in front of some of the children, but was later cleared of the allegations. The actor said the split with Jolie had been a "huge generator for change". "I can't remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn't boozing or had a spliff, or something," he said. "I'm really, really happy to be done with all of that. I mean I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. "But even this last year, you know - things I wasn't dealing with. I was boozing too much." Pitt said he loved wine, adding "truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good." The actor said he has now replaced alcohol with cranberry juice and fizzy water. Regarding the divorce, Pitt said he and Jolie had decided to abandon the path of "vitriolic hatred" and work together to sort out their issues, adding they were committed to resolving matters amicably and privately. Pitt also said he was finding solace in working creatively with his hands: "I'm making everything. I'm working with clay, plaster, rebar, wood." Speaking more widely about his career, he said: "I don't really think of myself much as an actor anymore. It takes up so little of my year and my focus. "Film feels like a cheap pass for me, as a way to get at those hard feelings. It doesn't work anymore, especially being a dad."

Steeplejacks are to scale the Giotto, Verona and Little Tower at Tower Works to re-point the brickwork. Debris is also to be removed from the Giotto Tower and its glass tiles repaired and replaced on the "recognisable and unique landmarks". The structures were dust extractors for a factory that made steel pins for the textile industry. The works was founded by T.R Harding in 1864-66 and the towers' design was influenced by his love of Italian architecture. The plan to transfer four listed buildings - the three towers and the Engine House in Holbeck - to Leeds City Council from the Homes and Community Agency was agreed in 2013. The Giotto Tower, the largest of the three, is based on Giotto's Campanile in Florence, while the Verona Tower takes its design from the Torre dei Lamberti in Verona. The Little Tower, the smallest of the three mimics a traditional Tuscan tower house. Councillor Richard Lewis said the towers were "among the city's most recognisable and unique landmarks and the site as a whole is a hugely important part of the city's heritage". The repair work to the towers is to be funded with money from the Homes and Communities Agency and is to start in June. The rest of the site is to be developed by Carillion for mixed use as a "key element" of the plans for Holbeck. The transgender soldier is due to face a closed hearing on Tuesday to determine her fate, they add. The military has not yet commented. The soldier, formerly known as Bradley Manning, was convicted in 2013 for leaking thousands of secret US files to the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks. She is currently serving a 35-year jail sentence at a military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Manning's lawyers revealed the possible disciplinary action on Wednesday. "Frankly it looks to me like harassment," one of her lawyers, Nancy Hollander, told the Associated Press news agency. She said the ex-intelligence analyst has been accused of possession of prohibited property while in military prison, including books and magazines. A Vanity Fair issue with transgender Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known as Bruce) on the cover and Malala Yousafzai's memoir were among the items allegedly discovered in her prison cell. Misuse of medicine - namely an expired tube of toothpaste, sweeping food onto the floor and disrespect - were some of the other charges cited. "It is not uncommon in prisons to have charges that to the rest of us seem to be absurd," Mrs Hollander told AP. "Prisons are very controlled environments and they try to keep them very controlled and sometimes in that control they really go too far and I think that this is going too far." The maximum punishment Manning could face is indefinite solitary confinement. Manning has requested the disciplinary hearing be made public next Tuesday, her lawyers say. Meanwhile, a petition has been set up by her supporters calling for her hearing to be "open to the public and the press". Manning, who legally changed her name in 2014, remains a soldier until her prison term ends. She recently debuted as a contributing writer for the Guardian US website. Earlier this year, she was approved for hormone therapy after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria - the sense of one's gender being at odds with the sex assigned at birth.

Tsang led Hong Kong from 2005 to 2012 and is the most senior official in the territory ever to stand trial for corruption. He was found guilty last week of misconduct in public office, in a case related to a luxury flat in China. In sentencing, Judge Andrew Chan said: "Never in my judicial career have I seen a man fall from so high." A number of senior former officials in Hong Kong had written letters to the court in defence of Tsang's character. The judge said he took Tsang's reputation and long public service into account in sentencing, taking 10 months off what would have been a 30-month sentence. The maximum penalty could have been seven years. Tsang was cleared last week of a second count of misconduct, while the jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge of accepting an advantage. He is expected to be retried on that charge in September. After sentencing, he was taken from court in handcuffs to the hospital where he has been staying since experiencing chest pain on Monday. When the presiding judge asked Mr Tsang to stand for sentencing, the former chief executive took a sip of water and closed his eyes. He kept his eyes closed during most of the sentencing speech and appeared to calm himself with a rhythmic breathing exercise. Five years of investigations and weeks of trial had culminated in this humiliating moment. It was an ignominious end for a man who used to be the pride of Hong Kong - someone who had overcome a humble start in life to hold three of the city's top jobs. Mr Tsang's legacy and reputation are in tatters and the judge acknowledged it, saying he had never before seen a man fall so far, so fast. The case has worried a territory that prides itself on its relatively clean reputation. The trial related to events which took place near the end of his term, between 2010 and 2012. Prosecutors accused Mr Tsang of inappropriate and undeclared conflicts of interest, including renting a luxury flat in mainland China from the shareholder of a broadcast company whose licence applications he approved. They also alleged the flat was redecorated free of charge and that he later nominated the interior designer for an honour. The jury found him guilty of misconduct over his failure to disclose the lease of the flat, but dismissed the charge related to the designer and did not reach a verdict on whether he accepted a bribe in the form of the refurbishment. A career civil servant, Tsang rose through the ranks to become Hong Kong's second chief executive, following Tung Chee-hwa. His deputy, former Chief Secretary Rafael Hui, was jailed for accepting bribes from a property tycoon in 2014. The search giant will now highlight "authoritative sources" in search results, with a summary of claims that have been fact-checked. Google says sites will be judged authoritative by an algorithm and the company will not be fact-checking news stories itself. On Thursday, Facebook announced a campaign to help people spot fake news. Google introduced its fact check feature on its News search site in October, but has now added it to its regular search results. Publishers who have investigated a claim, for example a politician's statements, will be displayed more prominently. A summary of the fact-checked statements and whether they are judged to be true or false will also appear. However, the feature will not affect the order of search results and will not label sites known to spread false information as untrustworthy. Google acknowledged that different publishers may draw opposing conclusions about the validity of a news story or statement, but said the feature would help people understand the "degree of consensus" on a topic. Analysis by Chris Foxx, BBC technology reporter Tackling the spread of false information is a big task for websites as large as Google and Facebook, given the volume of data involved. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has been clear he does not want to employ humans to make judgements about whether websites are trustworthy. Now Google is following his lead by placing its trust in its algorithms. Of course, algorithms can be manipulated and algorithms can get it wrong. In March, Google was found to be offering up some far-fetched claims as "instant answers". Google also says it will display conflicting fact checks side-by-side when websites have drawn different conclusions. That may leave people more confused than before - but perhaps, at least, it will encourage them to question what they read online.

The Association of British Commuters (ABC) will attend a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on 29 June. The drivers' union, Aslef, is due to begin an overtime ban on the same day. Leaders of the RMT are due to meet this week to discuss the next move in their long-running disputes with Southern, Merseyrail and Northern (Arriva North). The RMT is in dispute with the rail companies over driver-only-operated trains which they say would be unsafe and lead to widespread job losses. Aslef and the RMT have been in a bitter dispute with Southern and its parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), for more a year over the roles of train staff. ABC said ministers acted unlawfully by failing to determine whether managers had breached franchise obligations. They said the court hearing could lead to a full judicial review. Summer Dean, of ABC, said: "Passengers are the only people who still don't have a voice in this fiasco, and many thousands of them support us in our efforts to reveal the truth behind the Department for Transport's involvement in Southern Rail." Mick Cash, the RMT's general secretary, said: "The spotlight is now well and truly back on the basket-case Southern rail franchise and their unconditional support from this minority government, regardless of the safety and service consequences." The Department for Transport said it would be "inappropriate" to comment while legal proceedings were ongoing. A GTR spokesman said: "We take our responsibilities to our passengers incredibly seriously, in particular disabled customers. We now have more staff assigned to work on our trains than we did before who can assist." New ECB chief executive Tom Harrison had told BBC Test Match Special in August that they were considering a reduction in the County Championship from the current 16 to 14 matches. But it has been revealed that there will now be no such reduction for 2016. The ECB will talk again over the winter to discuss possible changes for 2017. "There have been a lot of valuable conversations across the game over recent weeks, and the time and feedback have been widely appreciated," said a spokesman. "We've heard both a desire to look at the long-term interests of the game and an understandable need to have more detail on the impact of any future changes. "Clearly, more discussion will be helpful for everyone - and these constructive conversations will focus on the long-term strategy as well as the domestic structure, to help us all make the right decisions." The first county to respond to the ECB statement were Sussex, who say that they "had considered the evolving situation and had recommended that the ECB adopt a cautious approach to changing the current domestic schedule". Some county members and traditional fans were opposed to any changes that would lead to them watching fewer four-day games. But domestic players are keen to reduce the amount of cricket they play, according to a recent survey made among 240 members of the Professional Cricketers' Association. That attitude has been backed by two prominent members of the cricket media, former England coach David Lloyd and ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan. Former Lancashire and England opening batsman Lloyd told BBC Sport last week that there is too much county cricket. And BBC Test Match Special summariser Vaughan tweeted his thoughts. "So the people put in charge to run English Cricket present change and nothing happens!!!?? Ridiculous," said the former Yorkshire and England opener. "What is the point of having a new chairman/CEO and director of English cricket if they can't implement change?" Vaughan's TMS colleague and former England spinner Graeme Swann also took to social media to comment: "And so the dark ages remain..."

Just like with people, small needles are inserted into the animals' skin at defined points to try and relieve pain through stimulated blood circulation. In cats and dogs it is most commonly used in musculoskeletal and chronic pain ailments such as arthritis or gastrointestinal issues. It emerged several decades ago but remains an unconventional and alternative therapy method that most vets don't use. The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) now has about 1,900 members, and they are holding a conference in Cairns, Australia this week with practitioners from 21 countries. But like with acupuncture in human medicine, a great deal of scepticism surrounds the practice in pets. A 2006 study said "there is no compelling evidence to recommend or reject acupuncture" in veterinary medicine because of inconclusive and limited research. But thousands of owners and practitioners swear the procedure is making a difference to the quality of pets' lives - especially elderly and chronically ill animals. One mainstream theory in acupuncture research is this temporary pain relief stems from the release of a natural painkiller called adenosine around the insertion point. Critics maintain that the improvements owners see are a transfer of a "placebo effect" to the observer. Lara Sypniewsk, a Clinical Professor of Small Animal Medicine at Oklahoma University, is a vocal advocate of the practice who held a TedxTalk on the subject. Speaking to the BBC, she explained she first sought the treatment for animals that weren't able to use traditional pain relief medication because of pre-existing liver and kidney conditions. "Our animals' role in our lives has changed tremendously - they used to sleep outside and now the husband is being kicked out bed to make room for the dog," she said. "Preventative medications mean animals are living a lot longer. Acupuncture is just one part of wider treatment plan to make suffering animals comfortable so they can enjoy their life. "The growing popularity is definitely client driven, people ask me if there's something that can be done to reduce the drug doses their pets are being given. "A 100% of people are sceptical in the beginning, but quickly become flabbergasted by the results." Reuters spoke to vet Jin Rishan in Shanghai who said he had treated more than 2,000 family pets since the clinic opened in 2013. He claimed up to 80% of animals had seen an improvement after treatment. Critics maintain that the improvements observed are a transfer of a "placebo effect" to the pet owner. Liv Wills from Hertfordshire in England posted pictures on social media of her 15-year-old cat Barney calmly having acupuncture after a vet suggested it could help his worsening digestive problems. "He had 14 needles, including one on his nose and he didn't even flinch. He instantly relaxed," she said. The men's boat appeared to lose its mast at about 13:05 on Sunday and the men ended up in the water. Although they did not have a radio or mobile phone, the incident was witnessed by people on a nearby shoreline who called for help. The Kinghorn RNLI lifeboat helped both men from the Firth of Forth and took them ashore. Lifeboat helm Mark Brown said: "On arrival, we pulled both male casualties into the lifeboat and took them ashore where Fisherrow Coastguard Rescue team personnel assisted. "One casualty had swallowed a lot of water and was very cold, but the second sailor was able to assist in the recovery of the dinghy. "Weather conditions were good, but there was a heavy 1-2m swell running due to the easterly wind we are experiencing just now. This made it difficult whilst taking the casualties ashore. "The casualties were well equipped for inshore sailing but they didn't have a radio or mobile phone onboard. They were fortunate in this instance that members of the public called 999 to launch a rescue mission."

You have probably heard of acupuncture for humans, but the ancient Chinese therapy is growing in popularity among pet owners too as a holistic supplement to traditional veterinary care. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A lifeboat crew believe they saved the lives of two men whose dinghy capsized off Portobello.

Passenger Luke Fletcher, 19, died when the car left the B2177 near Southwick, Hampshire in January 2016. Zax Ross-Harris, 22, and Danny Ross-Barringer, 25, were jailed for eight and six years for causing death by dangerous driving and aiding and abetting respectively. The court heard they had been driving at up to 100mph in bad weather. Portsmouth Crown Court heard both drivers only had provisional licences. Ross-Harris, from Paulsgrove, had been driving the Nissan Almera in an "idiotic" manner on Portsdown Hill on 23 January. Performing arts student Mr Fletcher, who was in the back seat, suffered an "unsurvivable" head injury when it left the road and hit a tree. Another passenger, Sonny Wedge, suffered severe injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. Andrew Houston, prosecuting, said Mr Wedge and Mr Fletcher had begged Ross-Harris to stop driving and pull over before the crash. He said Ross-Harris "cowardly" ran away and denied being in the vehicle when questioned by police. He later admitted causing death by dangerous driving and while driving unlicensed and uninsured and causing serious injury. Mr Houston said Ross-Harris had drunk seven pints of lager earlier in the day but because he was not arrested until the day after, his alcohol level at the time of the crash was not known. In a letter to Mr Fletcher's family, read to the court, Ross-Harris wrote: "My stupidity cost Luke's life, I know sorry will never be good enough." He was also banned from driving for 14 years. Ross-Barringer, also from Paulsgrove, admitted he had been "showing off" and said his cousin had been attempting to copy him. Robert Grey, defending Ross-Barringer, said: "He is truly remorseful for what has happened." Mr Fletcher's mother, Sarah Hiscutt said in a victim impact statement: "I wish it had been me; it has changed our lives for ever." After sentencing she, described her son as "one of a kind". "He was growing into a fine young man, full of life, dreams, ambition and a zest for life. He had everything to live for and wanted so much from life," she said. Mr Fletcher had recorded a single, Heart of Stone, which was released after his death. Balin Hobbs, 52, was cycling on the hard shoulder of the M5 when police forced him from the road and into a service station near Cullompton, Devon. He admitted riding a pedal cycle on a motorway and resisting arrest, at Exeter Magistrates' Court. He was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge. More on motorway cyclist and more Devon stories The court heard how Hobbs cycled to Devon from London to attend the court hearing because it was against his spiritual beliefs to be driven in petrol or diesel vehicles. It took him three days and he slept on the courtroom steps the night before. Hobbs was heading towards Bristol on the M5 on his bike during the afternoon of April 29 when police caught up with him. He overtook the police car, and they forced him from the road after a further two miles when he went into a service station at Junction 28. He wrestled with officers as he was arrested and put into a police van, the court heard. Hobbs, whose address was given as Hennock, Devon, but who is living in London, said: "You are putting me in shackles for no reason." Hobbs, who had no previous convictions, defended himself in court, and said: "I was definitely on the M5 on my bike." But he claimed the police had "intimidated, harassed and harangued me" adding: "I did not intend to cycle on the M5 but I had to try and find my way to Bristol and then London." Following the hearing, he mounted his bike to begin the journey back to London.

Congregants were arriving for prayer early on Saturday when the explosion went off at the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center in a Minneapolis suburb. The FBI are investigating what Mr Dayton called "a terrible, dastardly, cowardly" act. They said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device. No one was injured in Saturday's attack at 0500 local time (0900 GMT), but the imam's office was heavily damaged. As many as 20 people were inside at the time of the explosion. Mohamed Omar, the executive director of the mosque, told CBS News a member of the congregation saw a truck flee the centre's car park at high speed after the blast. The office's windows were shattered either by an explosive or another object was thrown inside, authorities said. "The destruction done to this sacred site is just unthinkable, unforgivable. I hope and pray the perpetrator will be caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," Mr Dayton said at a news conference outside the mosque, located in Bloomington, Minnesota. He was joined by state Representative Ilhan Omar, the first Somali-American legislator in the US, and US Representative Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress. "What makes Minnesota unlike no other [state] is how we accept and love members of our community, no matter the religion they practise, the language they speak, or where they come from," Mr Ellison said. He added "hate is becoming too prevalent in our society" and that it must be countered "with love and the values we hold so dear". The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is offering a $10,000 (£7,700) reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the attack. The organisation has also urged mosques and Islamic centres across the country to increase security in the wake of Saturday's attack. The Muslim American Society of Minnesota also said it would offer a $10,000 reward for information on the attacker. A fundraising page created to help pay for costs to repair the mosque raised more than $40,000 as of Monday morning. An estimated 3.3 million Muslims live in the US, around 1% of the population, according to a recent Pew Research Center report. Minnesota is home to the largest population of Somalis living in the US and the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center largely serves people from the Somali community. Minnesota authorities reported a record high of 14 anti-Muslim bias incidents in 2016, The Star Tribune reported. The body of Karina Batista, 40, was discovered at a property in Kensington Park, Easton at about 10:20 GMT on Monday. Murder detectives are asking for information to trace the movements of a red Peugeot 107. A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody. A post-mortem examination found Ms Batista died from multiple injuries to the upper body. A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "As part of our investigation we're keen to hear from anyone who saw the red Peugeot 107 between 3.15am and 6am on Monday. "We believe the car, which has a hubcap missing from the front left wheel, was in the Keynsham area at the time." The top seed, who ate dog food before her win over fellow American Christina McHale in the last round, beat Russian Kuznetsova 6-2 6-0 in 51 minutes.

Darnell Martin, 19, of south London, will appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court on Monday. Joshua Asante, also 19, was charged with murder on Thursday and will appear at the Old Bailey next month. David Darko, 21, was found fatally injured on 23 January at Norwood Recreational Ground, near Tennison Road. A post-mortem examination found he died from a stab wound. Two 22-year-old men were arrested earlier this week on suspicion of assisting an offender and have been bailed. Great Britain is "written with real verve" by playwright Richard Bean and is "blessedly funny", according to The Guardian's four-star review. The Daily Telegraph gave the same star rating to a "bold, topical" work. Billie Piper stars in the play as a tabloid news editor who sanctions the tapping of celebrities' phones. MPs' expenses, police corruption and cheque-book journalism also figure in the play, tickets for which only went on sale last week. Rehearsals took place in secret for the production, which opened without previews on Monday. Sir Tom Stoppard, Zoe Wanamaker and Piper's former Doctor Who co-star David Tennant were among the first night audience. According to the Daily Mail's Quentin Letts, Bean's "quick-response" play is "coarse, scatter-gun [and] politically incorrect". Bean, he continues, "catches a sense of careering chaos, of compromised politicians and a political/media/celebrity/legal elite who bribe and blunder and chisel and cheat". The result, writes Paul Taylor in The Independent, is "a farce with fangs [that] puts the whole incestuous culture in the dock and subjects it to merciless ridicule". "Though it feels scattershot in its targets and sometimes mistakes boorish vulgarity for daring satire," writes Stephen Dalton in the Hollywood Reporter, "it nevertheless puts an agreeably lurid and highly amusing slant on current events". Speaking last week, the National's outgoing director Sir Nicholas Hytner denied that any of the characters in Great Britain were based on "any specific individuals". According to the Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish, however, the play contains a "sneakily fictionalised" version of Rebekah Brooks, the former News of the World editor who was cleared of phone hacking charges last week. Another character, played by Robert Glenister, "bears uncanny similarities" to Andy Coulson, the former tabloid editor and Downing Street director of communications who was found guilty of conspiracy to hack phones. The play features projected headlines that mirror the typefaces of familiar newspapers, while mock news bulletins echo the presentation styles of Sky News and the BBC News channel. There is also a video clip inspired by the much-viewed internet spoof that turned deputy prime minister Nick Clegg's public apology over tuition fees into a music video parody. According to the Evening Standard's Henry Hitchings, such "cartoonish" elements are "richly enjoyable" in a show that is "barbed, dense and very funny". Great Britain runs until 23 August in the National's Lyttelton Theatre.

He gave the pledge as he returned to Downing Street after the Conservatives won the general election. The prime minister said he would continue to govern with "respect" towards the administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. But the Lib Dems claimed they had delivered further powers against "much resistance" from the Tories. Mr Cameron said "the governance of these nations will become powerful with wider responsibilities". The prime minister announced in February plans to give the Welsh assembly more powers over energy projects, its own elections and scope for borrowing on the financial markets. Following his party's victory, Conservative Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb told BBC Wales: "I think devolution and the relationship between the different nations of the United Kingdom will be a big theme in the next parliament, in the coming five years. "Now we know in Wales there's a new piece of legislation already being written by my officials in the Wales office. That's going to strengthen the devolution settlement in Wales. "It's also going to make devolution fairer for Wales because we are absolutely committed to following through on this historic commitment to bring fair funding to Wales; to make devolution work better in the interests of Welsh people and the Welsh economy." However, A Welsh Lib Dem spokesperson said: "We've spent the last five years delivering further powers for Wales - often against much resistance within the Tory party. "David Cameron must deliver all of the St David's Day agreement and that includes fair funding with no strings attached. "The Tories are all over the place on this issue and it is time they clarified their position." Labour and Plaid Cymru have also been asked to comment. Two men and a woman were arrested after the front door of a property was set on fire in Berwyn Street, Bala. North Wales Police officers were called at about 23:00 BST on Tuesday.

After posting the video, Toby Lee, from Bloxham, Oxfordshire, has had fan mail, sponsorship offers, and a personal message from Rita King Washington, daughter of the guitar legend. Toby said: "I think it went so mad because BB King was really popular." King died in his sleep at his Las Vegas home on 14 May, aged 89. Toby posted the Facebook video of his rendition of The Thrill is Gone as a get well soon message to the guitarist before he died. The hits began to skyrocket after it was shared by blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa and guitar manufacturer Gibson. "I put up a tribute for BB King because at that moment he was my favourite guitarist," Toby explained. "Joe Bonamassa helped. He's also one of my favourite guitarists and he's really, really good and I nearly fell down the stairs because I was so shocked [that he shared it]." Bonamassa told his followers: "This is what it is all about. My favourite blues song being played by one of the future superstars of the blues." Meanwhile Rita Lee Washington asked the young guitar hero to keep her father in his prayers. Toby has become fond of wearing an array of onesies in his Youtube videos, ever since receiving one as a Christmas present. Terry Lee said his son started playing when he was very young. "His grandma bought him a ukulele when he was four, and he played it until all the strings broke. "He's a funny guy with a great sense of humour, way beyond his years."

Mr Goldsmith quit as a Conservative MP in protest at the government's backing for a third Heathrow runway and will contest the poll as an independent. The Conservatives and UKIP have said they are not fielding candidates. Ms Olney said overturning Mr Goldsmith's 23,015 majority was "incredibly doable" for her party. The Lib Dems, who held the south-west London seat until 2010, finished second in the 2015 general election. Mr Goldsmith has said he wants the vote, on 1 December, to be a referendum on the government's decision to back a third runway. But Ms Olney, who also opposes Heathrow expansion, told Sky News Brexit - which Mr Goldsmith backed, unlike most Richmond voters - would "obviously" emerge as another campaign issue. The 39-year-old accountant, who had already been lined up to contest the next general election for the party, was confirmed as its by-election candidate at a party meeting on Sunday. Labour will field a candidate, despite calls from some of its MPs for it to stand aside to maximise the chances of Mr Goldsmith being defeated, with applications closing on Monday. Despite their differences on Heathrow, the Conservatives are not standing against their former MP, describing him as a "hard-working champion" for the area. But the party's decision was criticised by one of its MPs, Alec Shelbrooke, who told Sky News: "I have said quite openly that I think it's a big mistake the Conservative Party is not putting forward a candidate. "Let's be clear: Our majority will be cut from 12 to 10. Zac Goldsmith does not cut it to 11, it cuts it to 10 because he will be an opposition MP. "The Conservative Party will lose the Richmond by-election because we do not have a candidate and I think that is wrong."

The crash happened on the A6, close to the entrance of Gulliver's Kingdom, in Matlock Bath at 17:20 BST on Saturday. One cyclist died from serious injuries at the scene. Police could not confirm the severity of the second biker's injuries. Derbyshire Police has asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the force. The Great British Bake Off judge, 81, is leaving the show when it moves to Channel 4 from the BBC next year. Fiona Lindsay, Berry's agent for 25 years, said: "It has been reported that Mary only intends to work another year - that's simply wrong. "She has lots of exciting projects coming up, including TV with the BBC." It has already been announced that Berry will be a guest on James Martin's Christmas With Friends on the Food Network on 14 and 21 November. She will also appear in the two Bake Off Christmas specials - which have already been recorded - when they air on the BBC later this year. Berry quit The Great British Bake Off last week out of loyalty to the BBC, a few days after presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins also decided not to make the move to Channel 4. Paul Hollywood is the only Bake Off star to have agreed to switch channels and stick with the show. Channel 4 will begin airing the programme in 2017, starting with a celebrity special in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. The channel signed a three-year deal earlier this month with Love Productions, which makes the programme. The Great British Bake Off began life on BBC Two in 2010, where it became a firm favourite with viewers before moving to BBC One in 2014. Last year's final was the UK's most watched television programme of the year, with 13.4 million viewers tuning in to see Nadiya Hussain win the competition.

The 51-year-old, who wrote the Electra Brown series for teenagers, was last seen walking her dog near her home in Royston, Hertfordshire over a week ago. Hertfordshire Police said they are now extending their searches for the writer to less used walking routes. One possible sighting, reported by a truck driver on 12 April, was in the Warren Lane area of Baldock. Two other potential sightings on 11 April in the Heathfield area of Royston have also been reported and investigated. Officers are also looking at available CCTV footage. Ch Insp Julie Wheatley said: "We are still very much keeping an open mind around the circumstances of Helen's disappearance, bearing in mind she had stated that she needed some time to herself before she was last seen. "However, as time goes on, the concerns for her welfare are growing and we are continuing to support her family at this extremely difficult time. "Whilst we cannot be sure the reported sightings are of Helen, we will of course follow up any potential leads which may assist us in finding her." She was last seen on Monday 11 April at around 14:45 BST and was thought to be walking her dog, a miniature Dachshund. The 26-year-old was taken to hospital following the shooting in the Lady Street area at about 20:55 GMT on Tuesday evening. Police have said two men dressed in dark clothing made off on foot in the direction of McDonnell Street. The victim's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Detectives have appealed for information. The former Bradford City midfielder, 36, had managed the team since 2013 and led the club to promotion in May 2015 before a 20th-placed finish last term. "Struggling at the foot of the National League table, the board felt a change was necessary," a club statement said. Bower's assistant, Danny Boshell, has also been dismissed, with defender Adam Lockwood taking interim charge. The Exiles boss has confirmed he is looking for free agents to bolster his squad for its League Two relegation battle. And Westley has criticised players he says refused to leave Newport despite not being wanted. "We are still looking at free agents, I have one or two irons in the fire," said Westley. "I didn't panic at the end of the window. I bided my time as we still have irons in the fire alive." County took a step towards safety with a 3-1 win over Hartlepool last time out and travel to fellow strugglers Cheltenham on Saturday, 4 February. Westley has overhauled his team, adding 12 new faces in January and seeing Josh Sheehan sign an extension to his loan deal from Swansea City to technically take the number to 13. But Westley admits he wanted to do even more during the January transfer window. And he has laid the blame for not doing all the business he wanted at the door of transfer-listed players. Jack Compton, Mark Randall and Ben Tozer were all told they could move on and Westley has claimed despite the chance to go, they refused. "I wish I could have done more (last month)," Westley added. "It wasn't possible, I had deals lined up on deadline day, but players needed to go out for other players to come in and players wouldn't go. "There were viable offers for them and they didn't go. I couldn't understand that. "I wouldn't have had that in my playing career. It wouldn't have worked for me at all. I always wanted to play. "I've made clear what their futures are. If I fired you from your job, that is it, you would be fired." He added: "It is what it is, but there is no way back for them."

The loss-making Kent airport will close next week after a US firm's offer to buy the site was rejected on Monday and another bid fell through in April. An airport spokesman said there had not been "a viable alternative" to allow the airport to remain open. But Kent MP Sir Roger Gale said the airport should have negotiated over the offers. Campaigners have vowed to continue fighting to keep Manston open. In a statement, the airport spokesman said it had also considered business proposals put forward by staff but those would have still required losses to be subsidised. "In the absence of other options, the decision has been taken to close the airport on 15 May," it said. "Individual consultation will now take place with all staff members who will be supported through this process." Staff were told of the decision to close the airport at a meeting on Tuesday morning. The site was bought by Ann Gloag, who co-founded the Stagecoach Group, for £1 last year. In March, the airport said it was in talks about closing because it was losing £10,000 a day. Several airlines have pulled out, including KLM, which ran two daily flights to Amsterdam. In a joint statement, local Conservative MPs Sir Roger Gale and Laura Sandys, said there was "ongoing and serious interest" in the acquisition of Manston as a working airport and they hoped the current owners could be persuaded to reconsider. "We are convinced that, given more time, real progress could have been made and it is thus hugely disappointing that the decision has been taken to close it." US firm RiverOak Investment, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut, said it had made an offer to acquire 100% of the shares in the company that owned Manston Airport. It said it had $350m (£206m) in assets and a successful track record of turning around "troubled operating and real estate assets". The company said it had developed a long-term plan to own and manage Manston as an airport. In a statement, it said: "RiverOak is distressed to learn of the announced closure of Manston today and remains willing to engage with all parties to achieve a solution which allows the airport to continue operating and preserves the jobs of its staff." Wendy Fraser, group secretary of Save Manston Airport, said campaigners would be stepping up their campaign to keep the airport open "We'll fight to reopen it if it does close, and we will not let this be made into anything but an airport," she said. Founder of the campaign group Dan Light added: "I believe that something can be done. I mean, it's not the end yet. It may look like it is, but we're going to fight to the bitter end." Oliseh, who stood down as Super Eagles coach ten months ago, previously played for Dutch giants Ajax from 1997 to 1999. Fortuna Sittard confirmed his appointment on their website, saying he had signed an 18-month contract. Oliseh, 42, has an option to extend it for another season. He will take charge of training at Fortuna Sittard for the first time on 2 January. The club's Turkish owner, Isitan Gün, said he was 'very happy' to announce Oliseh's arrival. "With Sunday Oliseh we signed a young and ambitious coach with vision, one players look up to," Gün said. "We were looking for someone who plays attractive football combining it with the will to win. We think Sunday is the right one for this job," Gun added. Oliseh, who also played for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund during his club career, earned 63 caps for Nigeria. He helped his country win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in 1996. Before taking on the role of head coach with Nigeria, Oliseh had previously coached Belgian lower tier side Verviétois.

For much of Saturday, ING's Romanian customers could not access their money. The bank said the discharge of its gas-based fire suppression system had caused "unexpected" damage to its computer servers. A report by Motherboard suggests that the equipment was too noisy. A spokeswoman for ING was unable to confirm this detail. But she did acknowledge the problem had lasted from 13:00 to 23:00 local time and the bank had been unable to explain the situation to customers as its own communications system had been affected. "Due to the magnitude and complexity of breakdown, the time required to restore the activity through the back-up system was unfortunately longer than during the tests we perform regularly," said Iosefina Frolu. "Currently, we are finalising the diagnostic analysis of this exceptional event." The fire extinguisher system used at the Bucharest site worked by expelling a mix - known as inergen - of nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide. These gases are normally not harmful to computer equipment. But, according to Motherboard, the high-pressure release created a sound that topped 130 decibels. A study last year by the German engineering group Siemens warned the nozzles used by some fire suppression systems could cause "fatal" damage to hard disks because of sound wave vibrations they sent through the air. "The hypothesis is that sound causes vibrations in the HDD case that are ultimately transmitted to the disk spindle and head assembly, causing misalignment of the read/write heads to the data tracks," it said. "Because there are many different designs of storage system chassis and cabinets on the market, the issue of vibration caused by noise as well as structure-borne vibration has not yet been fully investigated." Siemens's research indicated that different server models were vulnerable to different noise frequencies, and if there was a match: Although ING said the accident was "abnormal and unprecedented" in its experience, there have been other suspected incidents. In 2013, the French media reported that accountancy software used by the country's government had become temporarily unavailable after a fire protection system had been accidentally triggered at a data centre, causing a loud noise. The following year, inergen extinguishers were used to put out a fire at a facility in Sydney, Australia. When several of the disks failed, some experts blamed noise vibrations caused by the discharge. In a visit to St Thomas' Hospital in central London, the couple met Jonny Benjamin and Neil Laybourn - the stranger who persuaded him not to jump off Waterloo Bridge in 2008. The men were reunited six years later when Mr Benjamin started a Twitter campaign to trace him. The 26-year-old is now a campaigner. An emotional Mr Benjamin told Prince William and his wife how his psychological problems began at an early age with hearing voices, and when he turned 16 he started struggling with depression. He was diagnosed with a combined schizophrenia and bipolar condition and had hit "rock bottom" at the time of the incident on Waterloo Bridge. Mr Laybourn described how he was walking to work when he spotted Mr Benjamin - now his good friend - wearing just a T-shirt and trousers on a freezing winter day perched on the side of the bridge. "It was a real snap decision, all the time I was walking up to Jonny I was thinking, 'Why was he there, should I talk to him or not?', he told the duke and duchess. "I just felt he needed help." The Cambridges were at the NHS hospital - where Mr Benjamin was treated after the bridge incident - to hear about support services for people experiencing suicidal thoughts. Mr Benjamin tracked down his saviour in 2014 after he launched a campaign using the hashtag #FindMike search.

Nine players had completed their first rounds when play was halted at 21:34 BST with American world number 624 Landry on three under after 17 holes. Two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson is joint second on two under, while England's Lee Westwood is one under. Rory McIlroy is three over par after 12 and Jordan Spieth is one over after 11. Spieth, the defending champion, started his round on the 10th and had a birdie on the par-five 12th, but gave that shot back with a bogey on the 14th. The American world number two and his playing partners Bryson DeChambeau and reigning Open champion Zach Johnson had been warned by a rules official to pick up their pace of play as they left the 16th tee. Westwood, who also started on the 10th, holed a 124-yard wedge shot for an eagle on the par-four 15th, but missed a three-foot birdie putt on the 17th as he completed his first nine holes in two under. Bogeys on the first and second saw Westwood drop back to level par but he birdied the par-five fourth before play was halted for a third time at 20:51 BST. "It's frustrating having to keep coming off but there's nothing you can do about the weather," he said. "I'm playing well though, playing nicely. I've dropped shots when I've missed it in the wrong spots and made some nice birdies too." The former world number one made use of the first rain delay to watch England beat Wales 2-1 at Euro 2016, while 2011 champion McIlroy left the course in a hurry after the hooter ended play for a second time so he could watch Northern Ireland beat Ukraine 2-0. American amateur Scottie Scheffler, 19, is the clubhouse leader after shooting a one-under-par 69. However, 28-year-old qualifier Landry will return on Friday with a 10-foot putt for birdie on the ninth, his last hole, to move to four under. Only half of the 156-strong field were able to start their first rounds and among those to stay in the clubhouse were world number one Jason Day, six-time runner-up Phil Mickelson and England's 2013 US Open champion Justin Rose. The plans by property investor Formal Investments include a new-build on Bath Street with 130,000 sq ft of office space. A building on Bath Street which was previously occupied by a BHS store will also be remodelled and refurbished. A third building on Sauchiehall Street and Renfield Street will be improved to create retail space and offices. The properties were acquired last year by Formal Investments. Director Nicholas King said: "This proposal shows a really exciting vision for an important site in Glasgow city centre and will provide the highest quality environments for retailers and businesses large and small." The architectural design work for the redevelopment has been carried out by Glasgow practice Stallan-Brand.

The prison's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) says these drugs are one of the biggest issues facing staff. In its annual report, the IMB also says around 1,000 prisoners have been diagnosed with mental health problems over the past year. But it concludes staff are doing a good job under "difficult circumstances". The IMB was set up to ensure that prisoners are treated humanely and reports back to the Ministry of Justice every year. Trained sniffer dogs and closer observation of visitors are methods being used to cut the supply of legal highs, said chairman of Cardiff IMB, Stephen Cocks. "Every prison in the country is suffering to one degree or another from drug misuse and particularly with the use of legal highs which, because of its unpredictable effects, can cause violent reactions among prisoners," he added. The report also states there are not enough staff to cover basic duties, prisoner complaints are not responded to quickly enough and there is not enough privacy for inmates using the toilets. The Englishman suffered an injury winning an early penalty and, though he took - and scored - the spot kick, played no further part in the game. Rangers boss Mark Warburton said: "With Martyn, it was one of those ones where he locked legs as he fell. "He has an abrasion on his knee. He took the penalty, credit to him, but we will see how he is in the morning." Nicky Clark's stoppage-time strike gave Rangers a 2-1 victory and a quarter-final tie with either Dumbarton or Dundee. Media playback is not supported on this device The penalty was Waghorn's 28th goal of the season and gave Warburton a first win over a top-flight side having been beaten by St Johnstone in an October League Cup tie ahead of drawing the original Ibrox fixture with Kilmarnock. "Whether you beat a Northern Premier League team or a Premier League side, you still go through or go out, it doesn't matter who you play," he said. "I felt we should have got a result at Ibrox, but we had 9,000 fans here and had a responsibility to come and deliver the result." Kilmarnock assistant manager Lee McCulloch bemoaned "criminal" lapses in concentration from his side that led to both Rangers goals. "A lapse in concentration the first minute gave away a clear penalty," said the former Ibrox player. "We showed great character to come back into the game. "Usually this season, if we've gone one down, we collapse and lose four or five. "We showed great character, scored a great goal then a lapse in concentration in the last minute has cost us. "I think the last 25 minutes Rangers really dominated, created chances and probably overall deserve to go through."

Legal highs smuggled into Cardiff Prison have led to "horrific, self-inflicted injuries", according to a new report. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Rangers' top scorer, Martyn Waghorn, left Rugby Park on crutches after his side's Scottish Cup win over Kilmarnock.

The four-part CGI animated mini-series will bring an original interpretation to Richard Adams' classic 1972 novel. It tells the story of a band of rabbits in search of a new home after the destruction of their warren. Commissioned by the BBC, it is the first blockbuster drama made as a co-production between the BBC and Netflix. The series will also feature the vocal talents of Olivia Colman, Nicholas Hoult , Miles Jupp, Freddie Fox, Anne-Marie Duff and Gemma Arterton, and will be written by Bafta-nominated Tom Bidwell. "Before there was Harry Potter, there was Watership Down," said the BBC's drama commissioning editor Matthew Read. "Richard Adams' novel is one of the most successful books of all time and one of the biggest selling books in history. It is fantastic to have the opportunity to bring a modern classic to a mainstream BBC One audience with such an incredible roster of actors alongside the talented team overseeing the animation." The book was first adapted for screen in 1978, and was notoriously frightening for young children, with its adored rabbit characters killed in graphic scenes. This version, the show's executive producer told the Telegraph, "will not just tone down the levels of on-screen violence to make it more appropriate for children, but give a boost to its female characters." The series is due to air on the BBC in 2017, and worldwide, outside of the UK, on Netflix.

The wife, one of three of Bin Laden's wives held after Monday's raid, said she had not ventured outside one room over that time, the official added. The official said 13 children had also been recovered from the compound. Bin Laden was killed in a US special forces raid on the compound late on Sunday. He was believed to have been the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and many others. The senior Pakistani military official, who asked not to be named, said they had detained Bin Laden's three wives, one of who was Yemeni, after the operation by US special forces in Abbottabad. "She [the Yemeni-born wife] told us that she came out of that room after five years and that her husband was with her during that duration," the senior official said. He did not clarify whether the wife had said that Bin Laden had stayed in the compound continuously like her, or ventured out. She told officials she was shot during the raid and fell unconscious, and that at that point, Bin Laden had been alive. She said that later on, her daughter had told her she had witnessed her father being shot. The Pakistani army also recovered 13 children from the compound - two girls and 11 boys - although they have not yet been able to establish how many are Bin Laden's children. They are all being held in secret locations, the official said.
