Officials say this will be the first time a sitting president has been questioned by prosecutors. Ms Park is accused of allowing her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to manipulate power from behind the scenes. Hundreds of thousands rallied on Saturday to demand her resignation. South Korean news agency Yonhap quoted officials as saying Ms Park's questioning should take place no later than Wednesday. Prosecutors have also questioned top bosses at Samsung, Hyundai and Korean Air. Lee Jae-Yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, was questioned over whether Ms Park pressured the company into donating millions to foundations controlled by her friend Ms Choi. Ms Choi is accused of trying to extort huge sums of money from South Korean companies and is under arrest on charges of fraud and abuse of power. She is suspected of using her friendship with Ms Park to solicit business donations for a non-profit fund she controlled. The president, whose approval ratings have plummeted to 5% because of the scandal, has said she is "heartbroken". On Saturday, organisers said some one million people encircled the presidential compound in the South Korean capital of Seoul, in the largest anti-government rally the country has seen. It was the latest in weeks of demonstrations against Ms Park. On Sunday, the presidential office said Ms Park was "earnestly considering ways to normalise state affairs" and that she had "heard the voices of the people at the rally". She apologised earlier in November for putting "too much faith in a personal relationship". "Sad thoughts trouble my sleep at night. I realise that whatever I do, it will be difficult to mend the hearts of the people, and then I feel a sense of shame.'" She said wrongdoing would be punished, and that she was prepared to be investigated by prosecutors. South Korea's constitution does not allow a sitting president to be prosecuted, but investigations are permissible. Ms Park has 15 months left in her term. If she steps down elections must be held within 60 days. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was sent samples after 35 Peshmerga fighters became ill near Irbil in August. On Monday, the sources said the samples tested positive for sulphur mustard. If confirmed, it would be the first known use of chemical weapons in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein. OPCW experts recently concluded that sulphur mustard was used in August in neighbouring Syria, during fighting between IS and rebel forces. Sulphur mustard - commonly known as "mustard gas" although it is liquid at ambient temperature - is a powerful irritant and blistering agent which causes severe damage to the skin, eyes and respiratory system and internal organs. The OPCW's report does not apportion blame for the attack in Iraq on 11 August, sources in The Hague told the Reuters and AFP news agencies. But when the Kurdistan Regional Government's ministry of Peshmerga affairs first reported the incident, it made it clear that it held IS militants responsible. The ministry said the affected Peshmerga fighters had been deployed along the frontline with IS, near the towns of Makhmour and Gwer when about 37 rounds exploded beside them, releasing a "white dust and black liquid". Tests on blood samples "revealed traces of mustard gas", it added. OPCW spokesman Malik Ellahi would only confirm on Monday that the watchdog had sent a team of experts to Iraq to assist the government's investigation. "The team completed its mission and the OPCW has shared the results of its technical work with the government of Iraq," a statement said, according to AFP. The OPCW's Executive Council is expected to discuss the findings next month. Experts are still uncertain about how IS might have obtained chemical weapons. One unnamed diplomat told the Reuters news agency that it was possible the sulphur mustard was obtained from the Syrian military's stockpile, which was supposedly destroyed after a deadly attack involving the nerve agent sarin outside Damascus in August 2013. However, CIA director John Brennan said on Sunday that IS militants were believed to have access to the necessary precursor chemicals and the capability to "manufacture small quantities of chlorine and mustard gas".

South Korean prosecutors are set to question President Park Geun-hye over allegations of political corruption in a scandal that has engulfed her presidency. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Sources at the global chemical watchdog say sulphur mustard was used last year in an attack on Kurdish forces in Iraq blamed on Islamic State (IS) militants.

A survey of more than 1,000 schools by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) shows the number in deficit has doubled since 2015. And 71% of the heads polled were only able to balance their budgets by making cuts or dipping into reserves, said NAHT general secretary Russell Hobby. The government said it had protected the core schools budget in real terms. The NAHT's Breaking Point survey for 2016-17 shows: The greatest cost pressures on schools, according to heads, are: According to the union, almost 80% of schools are providing support for children with mental health issues from general school budgets, "stepping in where cuts in health and social care funding have failed to meet the growing demand for support". Mr Hobby said 98% of schools were losing funding "at a time when costs are rising and pupil numbers are growing". "The government must take urgent action and commit to funding schools sufficiently in the next Budget. It is time to stop viewing education spending as a cost and to start seeing it as an investment in England's future, and in our children's." Liam Collins head of Uplands Community College in Wadhurst, East Sussex, said budget pressures amounted to "a cut of 10 teachers, fewer clubs, no pastoral support, a narrowed curriculum, no counselling for students struggling with mental health issues, crumbling buildings, no IT upgrades, no new textbooks and no school planners. "Eventually this will impact on student outcomes." Labour said the NAHT's survey showed ministers "continue to hide their heads in the sand" on school funding. Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: "Headteachers should not be faced with a decision of whether to cut school staff or invest in new equipment. "The Tories have no plan to deal with falling budgets, chronic teacher shortages and not enough good school places - this is no way to run a schools system." A Department for Education spokesman said that school funding "will be over £40bn in 2016-17 - its highest level on record". The spokesman said the government's fairer funding proposals to end what ministers have termed "a postcode lottery" in school budgets would help. "These proposals will not only see more than half of England's schools receive a cash boost in 2018-19 but will also give head teachers certainty over their future budgets, helping them make long-term plans and secure further efficiencies," said the spokesman. "We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide advice and support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways, including improving the way they buy goods and services, so they get the best possible value for their pupils." Robertson, invited to the tournament after winning the Gdynia Open earlier this year, made a break of 114 on the way to opening up a 6-3 lead. Northern Irishman Allen struck a 112 in the final session, but Robertson took the 14th and 15th frames for the title. Ronnie O'Sullivan decided not to defend his title. The Englishman will also miss snooker's second most prestigious event, the UK Championship, which starts on on 24 November in York. "I played really well in the first session and the second was a little bit tighter," said Robertson, who took the £100,000 prize money. "I am very happy and it is the first major title I have picked up in over 12 months."

School budgets are close to breaking point in England suggests research by a head teachers' union. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Australia's Neil Robertson comfortably beat Mark Allen 10-5 to claim the Champion of Champions title in Coventry.

The report makes it clear that it believes the world is on the cusp of a "new industrial" robot revolution. It looks at whether to give robots legal status as "electronic persons". Designers should make sure any robots have a kill switch, which would allow functions to be shut down if necessary, the report recommends. Meanwhile users should be able to use robots "without risk or fear of physical or psychological harm", it states. Lorna Brazell, a partner at law firm Osborne Clarke, was surprised by how far-reaching the rules were. But questioned the need to give future robots legal status. "Blue whales and gorillas don't have personhood but I would suggest that they have as many aspects of humanity as robots, so I don't see why we should jump into giving robots this status." The report suggests that robots, bots, androids and other manifestations of artificial intelligence are poised to "unleash a new industrial revolution, which is likely to leave no stratum of society untouched". The new age of robots has the potential for "virtually unbounded prosperity" but also raises questions about the future of work and whether member states need to introduce a basic income in the light of robots taking jobs. Robot/human relationships raise issues around privacy, human dignity (particularly in relation to care robots) and the physical safety of humans if systems fail or are hacked. The report acknowledges that there is a possibility that within the space of a few decades AI could surpass human intellectual capacity. This could, if not properly prepared for, "pose a challenge to humanity's capacity to control its own creation and, consequently, perhaps also to its capacity to be in charge of its own destiny and to ensure the survival of the species". It turns to science fiction, drawing on rules dreamed up by writer Isaac Asimov, for how robots should act if and when they become self-aware. The laws will be directed at the designers, producers and operators of robots as they cannot be converted into machine code. These rules state: Meanwhile robotic research should respect fundamental rights and be conducted in the interests of the wellbeing of humans, the report recommends. Designers may be required to register their robots as well as providing access to the source code to investigate accidents and damage caused by bots. Designers may also be required to obtain the go-ahead for new robotic designs from a research ethics committee. The report calls for the creation of a European agency for robotics and artificial intelligence that can provide technical, ethical and regulatory expertise. It also suggests that in the light of numerous reports on how many jobs could be taken by AI or robots, member countries consider introducing a universal basic income for citizens provided by the state. The report also considers the legal liabilities of robots and suggests that liability should be proportionate to the actual level of instructions given to the robot and its autonomy. "The greater a robot's learning capability or autonomy is, the lower other parties' responsibilities should be and the longer a robot's 'education' has lasted, the greater the responsibility of its 'teacher' should be," it says. Producers or owners may, in future, be required to take out insurance cover for the damage potentially caused by their robot. If MEPs vote in favour of the legislation, it will then go to individual governments for further debate and amendments before it becomes EU law. Natalie Hemming, 31, was last seen alive in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, on 1 May. She was found dead on 22 May. At Luton Crown Court, Paul Hemming, 43, of Milton Keynes, pleaded not guilty to murder but admitted her manslaughter. But, the prosecution did not accept the guilty manslaughter plea and Mr Hemming will now stand trial for murder. Mr Hemming also admitted a charge of obstructing a coroner in the execution of his duty by intending to prevent the Coroner of Buckinghamshire from holding an inquest. He then admitted a charge of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body. Mr and Miss Hemming lived together at an address in Alderney Avenue, Newton Leys, Milton Keynes. She was last seen alive as she left her mother's home in Hemel Hempstead. Her body was found three weeks later, 30 miles away at Toms Hill in Chandlers Cross, Hertfordshire. Mr Hemming is now due to go on trial on Wednesday accused of her murder.

The club's fans reacted angrily to their side's failure to reach the semi-finals of the African Champions League. The former Spurs and Ajax coach argued with fans last Friday as his team drew 2-2 with Zambia's Zesco United to end their chances of progressing. Since then he has also received threats on social media prompting his decision to leave. Supporters also tried to attack the team during training on Tuesday. Al Ahly said in statement: "Jol has told us he will not be able to complete his contract (which another season and a half to run) for personal reasons. "We have accepted that and ended the contract with him." The 60-year-old, who has also managed Fulham in England and Hamburg in Germany, had helped the Egyptian team retain their domestic title in June. The club said Jol apologised for going out of the Champions League, a competition they have won a record eight times. The victim, from Buckinghamshire, was being tended to by pub and ambulance staff in Bournemouth when her black cockapoo, called Sophie, was taken. Police have issued an image of a woman they want to speak to over the theft at the Moon in the Square pub in Exeter Road late on Sunday 27 November. Anyone with information is urged to contact police. The theft happened while the victim, in her 50s, was being treated following a "medical incident" at the pub at about 23:30 GMT. PC Steve Lea of Dorset Police said: "The theft has obviously left the victim distraught. "I am appealing to anyone who knows the woman pictured to come forward as she may hold vital information that can assist with the investigation. "If you know the whereabouts of the dog or have any information about the incident, please contact police."

Dutch coach Martin Jol has quit Egypt's Al Ahly after just six months at the club over fears for his safety. [NEXT_CONCEPT] CCTV images have been released after a woman's bag and dog were stolen while she was being treated by paramedics.

Mr Greenwald was one of the reporters who broke the 2013 story on internet surveillance by the UK and US. He told broadcaster ABC that Australia was "probably the country that has got away with things the most" following those revelations. But he said "we intend to change" that, implying there could be further leaks. Mr Greenwald was speaking on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Lateline programme on Thursday night via videolink from Rio de Janeiro. He said Australia was "one of the most aggressive countries that engage in mass surveillance as a member of the Five Eyes Partnership", a reference to the intelligence network established by Australia, US, UK, New Zealand and Canada. "There are interesting documents about what Australia is doing to privacy rights - not just to their own citizens," he said, adding that he plans to release his reports "as soon as we can". His comments came a month after whistleblower Edward Snowden criticised Australia's recently passed data retention laws at an Australian conference, where he spoke via videolink from Russia. In March, Australia passed new laws compelling telecommunications companies to store customers' phone and computer metadata for up to two years. The government said this was aimed at combating terrorism. Mr Snowden said he was planning to reveal more from documents taken from the US National Security Agency, including information on Australia's intelligence operations. He said Australia's role in mass surveillance was similar to that of the UK. "They'll collect everyone's communications, it's called pre-criminal investigation, which means they are watching everyone all the time," he said, adding that such information is also shared with other governments like the US and UK. Mr Snowden, a former NSA contractor, exposed the extensive internet and phone surveillance being conducted by the US and the UK in 2013. He passed NSA documents to Mr Greenwald and journalist Ewen Macaskill, who first broke the story in The Guardian. Bradley Lowery, who has neuroblastoma, took part in the warm-up against Chelsea on 14 December, scoring a goal. A campaign saw fans call for the strike to be given the accolade. The youngster, of Blackhall, County Durham, was named joint-winner alongside Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Bradley's mum, Gemma, tweeted: "Brad just woke up and watched #MOTD2 and found out he got #goalofthemonth - he is over the moon." Eight goals were selected for a public vote with Mkhitaryan's effort - also against Sunderland, on 26 December - notching up 39.9%. While not included in that selection, Bradley's goal was named joint-winner of the prize for December. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and last year more than £700,000 was raised to pay for treatment in the USA, including a donation of £200,000 from Everton. However, his family were later told his cancer had grown and treatment would only give him more time. After his story made headlines, he was sent more than 250,000 Christmas cards by well-wishers from across the globe.

Australia conducts one of the world's most aggressive mass surveillance programmes, US journalist Glenn Greenwald has said. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A seriously ill five-year-old boy who took to the pitch for his beloved Sunderland has won Match of the Day's Goal of the Month award.

Media playback is not supported on this device Wales host Italy on Saturday with home coach Warren Gatland saying the Azzurri deserve their place, but backing a one-up, one-down play-off in the long term. On current standings Italy would play Georgia for a place in 2017's event. "I think it is a stupid question because I think Italy do a lot for this tournament," said number eight Parisse. "Imagine teams like Ireland, Scotland or even France being last in the tournament and going to play other nations after being relegated," he said. "You think a federation like Ireland or France are going to accept that to take a risk? Or is it just because we are Italy?" Italy, badly affected by injuries, have lost all four of their games in the tournament so far this year. But Parisse, capped 118 times by his country, doubts whether the second-tier nations could perform as well as they have in recent years. "I think we need to remember what has happened in the past," he said. "We are really respectful of all the nations like Georgia and Romania and at their level they show a lot of progress but they haven't got the results we have. They haven't beaten France, they haven't beaten Ireland twice. "They haven't got the historic results we have so we deserve to be here, it's as simple as that." The tournament became the Six Nations in 2000 when Italy joined. They have beaten Wales, Scotland, France and Ireland, but never beaten England or finished better than fifth in the table. Wales finished bottom of the table in 2003. The 29-year-old, who has scored 92 goals in 356 career games, completed a season-long switch to the Championship club on Wednesday. Grabban joins James Vaughan, also 29, on Wearside, as well as teenage strikers Josh Maja and Joel Asoro. "He's experienced and knows the division," Grayson told BBC Newcastle. "He could have stayed at Bournemouth but swapped places from one end of the country to the other. That shows a real willingness and attitude to get back playing. "His experience will be vital because we're quite a young group at top of the pitch. He's got goals in him too and that's why we've signed him. Joining Grabban in confirming a move to Sunderland on Wednesday was Blackburn goalkeeper Jason Steele. Newton Aycliffe-born Steele began his career at Middlesbrough and has joined Sunderland from Rovers, for whom he made 105 appearances. Grayson had been seeking a replacement for the departed Jordan Pickford and Vito Mannone, who joined Everton and Reading respectively. "It's no secret we needed a goalkeeper," he added. "Jason has a wealth of experience in the Championship and he used to the routine of fixtures every Saturday-Tuesday." By the time the RSPCA arrived at their home in Boroughbridge near York, the 2ft (60cm) long snake had found sanctuary in a vacuum cleaner. Lucy Green from the animal welfare charity said: "It was quite a surprise." The snake was taken away by the RSPCA and is said to be in good health. It is believed to be somebody's pet due to its good condition. The charity said it would be rehomed in seven days if no owner comes forward. Ms Green said the wife saw the snake on Friday afternoon and initially thought her husband was playing a prank on her as it looked like a "realistic toy". She said: "When I arrived the snake was no longer in the airing cupboard but had slithered inside the vacuum cleaner. "It was quite a surprise to flip the head of the vacuum cleaner over and see the snake's little orange head poking out." Ms Green said she visited several neighbours of the house on The Chase but no-one claimed to have mislaid their snake. She said: "Perhaps he got out of his vivarium and decided to do some trick or treating for Halloween, or go and frighten some neighbours."

The Rhinos lost 66-10 at Castleford last week prompting Hetherington to say he was "not stubborn enough to believe no change is always the best option". "Something needed to be said after such an ugly day. Gary cleared it with me," McDermott told BBC Radio Leeds. "I've got no drama with anything he said in it." He added: "There are some lines where you might think 'what does that mean?' I think what Gary is saying and what we are saying is that we are not going to just change after one bad day at the office. "For me the biggest thing about the Castleford game was they were white hot. We shouldn't be conceding 66 points but don't get away from the fact that they were brilliant on the day." McDermott led Leeds to the treble in 2015 but they struggled last season, failing to finish in the top eight in Super League. Hetherington said in the letter that he would be in a "better position to make an accurate judgement on the performance of all our players, coaching staff and senior management including myself" after their next four games. The Rhinos, who host Catalans on Friday, have lost two and won two of their opening four Super League fixtures. The former Zimbabwe captain, 43, took over from Peter Moores in January 2009 and has since overseen successive Ashes series victories over Australia. "I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to build on the considerable progress we have made to date as a squad," he said. He has accepted a fresh staff contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board, rather than a fixed-term deal. Flower had been India's first choice as their new coach before they appointed Duncan Fletcher in April. However, the approach soon faltered as the former Essex batsman was unwilling to consider uprooting his family. England begin a four-Test series against India in July, after Sri Lanka arrive in mid-May to play three Tests. "We have made no secret of our determination to become the number one side in the world and challenge for global titles and I feel we have been making steady progress," added Flower. Now that Flower's continuing services have been secured, the ECB's next task is to determine whether Andrew Strauss wants to stay on as one-day captain Read more from Alison's blog "I firmly believe we have the talent amongst the playing squad and management team to help us realise our ambitions." Despite an underwhelming campaign in the recent World Cup, Flower has built a formidable reputation during his spell with England. In addition to Test series victories over Australia, he guided England to their first major tournament win at the ICC World Twenty20 in May 2010. During his tenure England have risen from sixth place in the International Cricket Council's Test rankings to third behind India and South Africa. In contrast to the fractious relationship between then-captain Kevin Pietersen and his predecessor Moores, Flower has led a united dressing room. Since taking the job on a permanent basis in April 2009, after an initial period as interim coach, he has forged a close and successful partnership with Test and one-day international captain Andrew Strauss. Flower also won admiration for the manner in which he managed skin cancer - having a melanoma removed from his right cheek during the during the second day of the opening Ashes Test in November. "Andy's outstanding leadership, commitment, and his open and honest approach have been key factors in the success the England squad has enjoyed over the last two years," said England Cricket managing director Hugh Morris. Although there is no specific clause in Flower's new contract giving him more control over the team's future schedule, he will meet Morris and his support staff in the next few weeks to discuss players' workloads. Flower blamed injuries in the run-up to the recent World Cup on the length of the Ashes tour that preceded it, prompting fears he could walk away from his post. England played their first tour match against Western Australia on 5 November and completed the trip with their seventh one-day international on 6 February. Flower is keen to ensure England do not endure a similarly congested fixture schedule again, ensuring he has sufficient recovery time from intensive Test, one-day and Twenty20 series. "The volume of cricket played is tough for anybody," former England fast bowler Angus Fraser told BBC Radio 5 live. "Andrew Strauss has a huge workload, players are rested so why shouldn't coaches? "It is difficult for coaches to be fresh to maintain their enthusiasm over a period of time."

Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott says he is "cool" with the open letter chief executive Gary Hetherington released to fans earlier this week. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Andy Flower has signed a new contract to remain as England team director.

The Scot told BBC Radio Nottingham he was not interested in signing former Reading and Leicester defender Mills, who is out of contract in the summer. Freedman worked with the 28-year-old when he was Bolton manager. "Matt Mills is a very easy story; he is a free transfer and I have worked with him before. But it's a false story," Freedman said. "I am in the market for a centre-half and he is somebody I admire and is a good guy but I have a wider range in my recruitment team to pick from." The blaze broke out at a home on Llangwm estate, near Penplas, in Penlan, just after midnight on Monday. The house was initially too unsafe to search, but the body of the woman who died - named locally as Linda Merron - has now been moved out of the property. A man and woman were taken to the city's Morriston Hospital with burns and smoke inhalation. A pet dog was also rescued. Floral tributes have been left on the front gate by neighbours. The cause of the blaze is being investigated by police and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service. Neighbour Gina Norwood said the woman who lived at the house had been in poor health and had moved to the area within the last two years after her daughter came to study in the city. "She loved her animals, her dogs - she was a lovely lady. She always had time for you, to say hello to all her neighbours," she told BBC Wales. "My son woke me up screaming to get out of the house. I looked out of the window and I thought the flat was on fire. "My son came out of the front and it was all blowing out, the flames." Ms Norwood said she called the fire service initially and later an ambulance to treat the woman's daughter, whom she said had received burns to her body. Her son Karl said he had heard a series of bangs which alerted him to the fire just after midnight.

The 48-year-old was arrested on Tuesday after police received reports of a nine-year-old girl being grabbed outside a chemists in Queen Street, Market Rasen. There were also reports of a four-year-old boy being grabbed in a newsagents on the same road. No-one was hurt but both children were left shaken, police said. Det Insp Pete Grayson said: "These incidents will understandably be of great concern to the local community, to parents and to families, and I would like to make it clear that they are isolated and one-off occurrences. "We have a suspect in custody and are not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation." Patrols have been increased in the area to provide reassurance. Seven members of their current squad had already committed themselves to the Pro12 club. Wilson, 26, and Harley, who is a year younger, were both born in England but have 16 and 17 caps respectively for Scotland. Kirkcaldy-born Fusaro, 26, has represented his country four times. All three players first signed for Warriors in 2010, with Harley so far making the most club appearances - 113 - since arriving from West of Scotland. The forward who has captained the side on a number of occasions was delighted to extend his stay with the club he supported before turning professional. "It was great to get a taste of the success we had last year, so my aim in the next two years is to keep winning trophies and push on in Europe," he said. "I'd like to use the excellent coaches we have here to improve my game and become a better player." Wilson, who joined Glasgow from Moseley, was looking forward to extending his 104 Warriors appearances. "This is my sixth season at the Warriors and I've loved my time here," he said. "Being involved at the Rugby World Cup with Scotland was incredible and I want to continue to play at the highest level. "By staying at Glasgow, I'll have the opportunity to do that." Fusaro, a product of Howe of Fife, has made 109 Warriors appearances and is also keen for more success. "Glasgow's been my only club since I started professional rugby and we've come on a long journey, but I still think we've got a lot further to go. "I signed the same year as Ryan and Rob and we've formed a tight-knit group in the back-row." Jonny Gray, Finn Russell, Pat MacArthur, Fraser Brown, Alex Allan, Sila Puafisi and Ali Price have also recently extended their Warriors contracts.

In a statement, the lender said Ross McEwan did not want the allowance "to be a distraction from the task of building a great bank". The "role based" incentive is used by major banks to sidestep EU rules that limit bankers' bonuses. Mr McEwan's pay for 2015 is expected to top £2.7m - even after handing back the £1m share award. RBS, which is 80% owned by the UK government, will release its annual results on Thursday. In September, the bank reported a pre-tax profit of £3.9bn for the first nine months of 2014, and RBS shares have been recovering in recent weeks. However, the bank, which was bailed out at the height of the financial crisis, has undergone severe restructuring in recent years and has been plagued by a series of regulatory fines. Last year, Mr McEwan warned that RBS had a "long list of conduct and litigation issues to deal with" and said branch closures were "inevitable". On Wednesday, RBS said it had suspended another two employees as part of an investigation by the bank into foreign exchange market rigging. RBS was one of six banks fined a combined $4.3bn (£2.6bn) last month for failing to stop foreign exchange market manipulation. In February last year, the lender reported a pre-tax loss for 2013 of £8.2bn - its biggest annual loss since being rescued by the UK government. However RBS's shares, which fell to 326.6p after the 2013 results, have rebounded above 400p in recent days - moving closer to the the 500p average paid for them by the UK in 2008. The 35-year-old brought an end to his sporting career after Yorkshire Carnegie's Championship play-off defeat by Doncaster Knights. Sinfield had been signed on an 18-month deal with Carnegie but announced his retirement last month. "I'm really glad I did it. It was something that was on my bucket list," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It was something I felt I needed to do and if I'd not took the challenge on I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. "I know I've only done six months instead of 18 but I just felt the timing was right and you don't want to push too far." Sinfield led the Rhinos to seven Grand Final wins during his 13 years as captain of the club and coach Brian McDermott has said he would welcome him back at the Super League club. But Sinfield, who made his professional debut at the age of 16, says he is looking forward to his retirement. "I can still keep myself fit and healthy because my body is intact and there's lots of challenges I'd like to do for charity," he added. "I want to find a line of work that makes me want to jump out of bed in the morning and it'll be nice to have my weekends free to spend time with my family. "I'll miss playing, I've no doubt about it, and I'll get behind both teams and hope they can have great success in the coming years." Have you added the new Top Story alerts in the BBC Sport app?

Donald Trump Jr told Fox News the meeting was "just a nothing" but he should have handled it differently. He released emails showing he welcomed an offer to meet the lawyer, who was allegedly linked to the Kremlin and had material damaging to Hillary Clinton. US officials are investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election. Since he was elected, President Trump has been dogged by allegations that Russia tried to sabotage Mrs Clinton's campaign. He has denied any knowledge of this and Russia has also repeatedly denied interfering. Asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity if he had told his father about last year's meeting, Mr Trump Jr said: "No. It was just a nothing. There was nothing to tell. "I mean, I wouldn't have even remembered it until you started scouring through this stuff. It was literally just a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame." Donald Trump Jr, his brother-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign chairman Paul Manafort met Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in New York in June 2016. Trump Jr received an email from an intermediary, British publicist Rob Goldstone, promising documents from Russia that would incriminate Hillary Clinton. At that time, his father was the presumptive Republican nominee and heading towards an election fight against his Democratic rival, Mrs Clinton. One email from Mr Goldstone said the information they had been promised was "obviously very high-level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr Trump". The meeting took place, but Mr Trump Jr told Fox News the woman provided them with nothing of use and it only lasted 20 minutes. In retrospect, he would have done things a little differently, Donald Trump Jr told Fox News, but he defended his actions. "This is before the Russia mania, this is before they were building this up in the press. For me this was opposition research, they had something you know maybe concrete evidence to all the stories I'd been hearing about." But the meeting went nowhere, he said, and it was apparent Hillary Clinton wasn't what the meeting was about. He could not vouch for the information he was sent, he said. "Someone sent me an email. I can't help what someone sends me. I read it, I responded accordingly, and if there was something interesting there, I think that's pretty common." President Trump issued a brief statement in support of his son, describing him as "a high-quality person" and applauding his transparency. Mr Goldstone has previously denied any knowledge of involvement in the election by the Russian government. Ms Veselnitskaya has said she was never in possession of information that could have damaged Mrs Clinton, and has no links to the Kremlin. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the emails were "very disturbing". The highest-ranked Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, said he wanted Mr Trump Jr and all participants in the meeting to testify before the panel. There are several congressional committees looking into Russian interference and whether anyone on the Trump team helped, as well as a special counsel. Willett, 29, was 11-over-par for his 27 holes at Sawgrass in Florida. The 2016 Masters champion tweeted: "Not good to have to withdraw but swinging very poorly is putting a lot of unwanted strain on the back." Willett, who has a history of back injuries, has missed four cuts in nine tournaments this season. He began his second round at the Players with a bogey on the 10th but got that stroke back on the next hole and recorded four successive pars before a dropped shot at 16 was followed by a triple-bogey six on the infamous 17th. He made par on the 18th - his ninth hole of the day - to go out in 40 strokes and appear destined to miss the cut. The Sheffield-born player's poor form - including becoming the first defending champion to miss the cut at the Masters since Mike Weir in 2004 - has resulted in his world ranking dropping to 21st. He also split with friend and long-time caddie Jonathan Smart after a disagreement during April's RBC Heritage event. Willett's next scheduled start is the PGA Championship, the key event on the European Tour schedule, in two weeks' time.

Some residents of Harmondsworth, Hillingdon could have their properties compulsorily purchased for demolition. In retaliation they targeted the director of corporate responsibility's house by laying a giant plastic runway across his drive. Matt Gorman said he was "not happy" about the incident and said his family's privacy had been invaded. The protestor's stunt came after the Airports Commission backed a third runway at Heathrow which is being considered by the government. The group also targeted the property of the airport's chief executive John Holland-Kaye. Veronica Rumsey, who has lived in her house for 43 years said the action was to show "we were here first". Her neighbour, Neil Keveren, said they were living without "peace of mind" and he would fight for his property. He said: "I'm not leaving it and that is all there is to it. If it takes more direct action there will be more direct action." In July Mr Keveren was fined £600 for blocking the tunnel which leads to Heathrow Airport terminals 1, 2 and 3, but he said "people need to know that we are going to go the whole hog". Heathrow Airport said it had created a plan which had the local community "at its core" and included a compensation package of more than £1bn for noise insulation and compulsory purchases. In a statement it said: "The protestors are a small minority...Heathrow expansion will create 40,000 new jobs in London and up to 180,000 jobs and £211bn of economic growth across the country." John Stewart the chair of the main anti-Heathrow expansion group Hacan said: "This just shows how angry people are. "The fact that ordinary residents are willing to go to these lengths is a signal of just how difficult it will be for the airport and any government to build a third runway at Heathrow."

Mr Whyte stood accused in November last year of plotting a fraudulent takeover of the Ibrox club in 2011. Four other men - David Whitehouse, Paul Clark, David Grier and Gary Withey - also faced charges at that time. All five were granted bail. The Crown Office were required to serve an indictment against the men by 17 September. This would be the next step in getting any case to trial. But, during a special two day hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court, the prosecution requested more time to do this. Sheriff Sean Murphy QC agreed to a three-month extension following several hours of legal talks. When he appeared in November, Mr Whyte made no plea or declaration to a charge of being involved in a two-year fraudulent scheme and a second allegation under the Companies Act. Mr Whyte bought the club from Sir David Murray for £1 in 2011. Rangers subsequently went into administration in February 2012. The fraud charge Mr Whyte faces span from January 2010 to February 2012. The four other men were also charged with being involved in a fraudulent scheme. Mr Withey also faced an allegation under the Companies Act. Mr Grier, Mr Whitehouse and Mr Clark faced an allegation of attempt to pervert the course of justice. The three were employees of Duff & Phelps, the company which carried out the administration of Rangers. Mr Withey worked for Mr Whyte's London law firm Collyer Bristow before he took on a post with Rangers. The four made no plea during the hearing last year and were bailed pending a future court date. Officials have told US media that an airman shot his commander in an apparent murder-suicide. Police responded to reports of a shooting at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland around 09:00 local time (15:00 BST), a spokesman said. Two bodies were found in a room at the base, and authorities believe the gunman is one of the dead. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said they continued to search the buildings after finding the people who were killed. "There are no indications that this was a terrorist attack," an Air Force statement said. Joint Base San-Antonio Lackland is the military's largest joint base, where airmen do basic training.

The gunman, who had kidnapped a woman, barricaded himself inside the bureau before fleeing by car. He was shot in the head by police but survived. A second officer was shot in the leg during the stand-off about a mile (1.6km) from the US Capitol. The incident was not related to terrorism, the FBI said. Police said the security guard, Lawrence Buckner, saw two people fighting in a car that matched the description of a vehicle involved in an armed kidnapping. When Mr Buckner - whose age was not given - approached the car he was shot in the chest. The gunman also fired at police cars during a chase before he was blocked in and wounded in a fire fight. The woman, thought to be the suspect's wife, got out of the car somewhere between the Census Bureau office in Maryland and central Washington. She was later found alive. Police said the officer who was shot in the leg is expected to recover. The cyber-attack caused havoc for businesses around the globe, but mainly in Ukraine. The potential solution only works if the ransomware secured administration privileges to the machine. However Positive Technologies said the concept is currently too technical for most average computer users to run. "Once you have a proof of concept of how data can be decrypted, the information security community can take this knowledge and develop automatic tools, or simplify the methodology of getting the encryption reversed," said the firm's Dan Tara. The company says in a blog that the creators of the ransomware made mistakes in programming the encryption algorithm Salsa 20 that was used with administration rights. Mr Tara said his team had not expected to get this result when it started investigating the outbreak. "Recovering data from a hard drive with this method requires applying heuristics, and may take several hours," said Head of Reverse Engineering Dmitry Sklyarov. "The completeness of data recovery depends on many factors (disk size, free space, and fragmentation) and may be able to reach 100% for large disks that contain many standard files, such as OS [Operating Systems] and application components that are identical on many machines and have known values." It is impossible to work out how many victims would have had their administration privileges taken over. Without this, the ransomware carries out a different method of encryption which is only reversible with a private key obtainable from the criminals behind it. However the email address that was provided was initially shut down meaning that they were not contactable by victims who chose to try to pay. The research team's finding only works on the recent Petya ransomware and its variants. "It doesn't look like a working solution yet but it gives cause for hope," said security expert Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey. Salsa20, which activates when the ransomware has admin privileges, corrupts a device's Master File Table (MFT), meaning that files are lost forever. "What they seem to have discovered is that there's a portion of the MFT that isn't corrupted and they are suggesting they may have found a way of recovering that," Prof Woodward added. "If that is true, that would be a significant finding. It may actually allow people to recover the so-called boot disks, that contain the original operating system, which we were assuming you couldn't do." Earlier this week the perpetrators of the attack appeared to have accessed the ransom payments they raised and made fresh demands. Consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser, which makes Nurofen painkillers, Dettol cleaner and Durex condoms, said the attack may have cost it £110m because of lost production and delivery time, the Financial Times reported.

It left Rupert Shaw's Gledpark Farm in Borgue on Friday for Grangemouth before travelling by sea to Hong Kong. Producers of Chinese medicine have valued Scottish red deer antlers at up to £16 per kilogram. Future shipments are planned in what Mr Shaw said could prove to be a "very valuable market" for farmers already producing venison. Having identified a potential buyer for the antlers through his website, a year-long process saw the Dumfries and Galloway farmer go on to secure the necessary export licence for the load and the complete the deal. Most of the red deer antlers in the shipment came from Gledpark's herd of farmed red deer with several other Scottish venison producers contributing antlers to fill the container. Antlers, exclusively found on stags, are cast annually and can be collected. Mr Shaw, who is also NFU Scotland's regional chairman in Dumfries and Galloway, said: "Although it is early days, the potential demand for Scottish deer antlers in Chinese medicinal products could represent a very valuable market for those who are already producing venison, or are planning to keep deer in the future. "At current prices of up to £16 per kilogram of antler, and many adult stags casting a set of antlers that could weigh more than 15 kilograms, there is a valuable return to be gained if we can secure a foothold in this market." It has been granted a taxi operator licence by the Department of the Environment (DOE). Part of the licence requirement means Uber drivers must have roof signs, something the firm has generally not been required to do in other cities. The company already operates in more than 300 cities worldwide, including Dublin and London. Drivers for the firm will have to hold the same taxi licence as drivers at conventional taxi companies. Uber customers use an app that pinpoints their location and alerts drivers to a pick-up request. Customers have to register credit or debit details with Uber and payment is taken automatically. Kieran Harte, Uber's general manager in Belfast, said: "Over 10,000 people in Belfast have already downloaded and opened the Uber app in the last six months alone, so we know there is demand for the service in the city." Uber has proven controversial in several locations and has often been accused of riding roughshod over local rules and regulations when it enters new markets. The company said it "will comply with all necessary regulation."

Parents have been advised to actively encourage their children to pursue hobbies and interests that require physical exertion. Children aged eight and under have been targeted in the move. Finland is known for producing some of the most physically fit children in Europe. It also produces some of the highest academic results among schoolchildren in the developed world. Finland's Minister for Education and Culture, Sanni Grahn-Laasonen, believes this is no coincidence. Ms Grahn-Laasonen said physical activity contributed to a child's happiness and promoted learning by developing a young person's ability to interact socially. "When children exercise together they develop interaction skills and connect socially, and it's healthy, too," she told local media. The minister's recommendation has been embraced by those who set the educational agenda, with the move expected to have a positive impact on results. Anneli Rautiainen, head of basic education with the Finnish National Board of Education, told the BBC that schools would now be experimenting with new ways of teaching. "In our new curriculum, we are looking at two to three hours a week of physical education and more outdoor activities. But we are also looking at non-traditional ways of teaching," she said. These include removing desks and chairs from some classrooms, so that children are not sitting as much while learning regular subjects. "Some children learn very well sitting at a desk and listening, others would benefit greatly from moving around the room talking with their classmates," said Ms Rautiainen. "The child has an active role. We will emphasise personalised learning. The learning environment should be modern and support different learners." Finland is one of the first countries to put forward these recommendations, which will use classrooms to connect physical exercise with traditional learning. A report published last month by the child and family services change programme revealed that young people in Finland were in favour of more physical activity in schools. The idea was widely supported among those questioned, who suggested using the school gym during breaks and increasing out-of-hours school club activities. Guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) suggest that children and young teenagers aged between 5 and 17 should perform at least an hour of moderate physical exercise a day. But the public health body goes on to say that more than an hour will provide additional health benefits, including later in life. Finland's obsession with health dates back to the 1970s, when it had the highest rate of deaths from heart-related issues in the world. This was largely due to a thriving dairy sector, which played a large part in the Finnish diet. In an effort to tackle the issue from a young age, schoolchildren were weighed on an annual basis and the results were recorded in end-of-year reports. If there was a problem, a doctor was called in. This led to the Finnish National Nutrition Council, a government body that issues dietary guidelines, eventually introducing a directive that schools should not only provide free lunches, but that the food should be nutritional. According to the WHO, Finland's population is still among the healthiest, but economic, social and cultural developments through globalisation are having a detrimental impact. As in many countries, health inequalities are on the rise in Finland. Finland introduced child health clinics way back in the 1940s, a pioneering move that was later introduced in other nations. The primary focus at the time was on physical development and nutrition, early identification of abnormal conditions or disease and immunisation. With this latest focus on physical activity among schoolchildren, Finland remains a leading nation when it comes to the health of its young citizens. Luis Enrique confirmed he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, and former defender Koeman is being linked with a return to the Nou Camp. The Everton boss, 53, won four league titles and the European Cup in his six years there as a player. "For me personally and the lads, we obviously hope he stays," said Toffees defender Williams. "He's started building a team here and we're all confident the future looks good for Everton. "But he might have his own ambitions. I can't speak for what he wants from his managerial career but from our point of view, definitely we enjoy working with him," the 32-year-old added. Koeman took over as Everton boss in June 2016 and his team are on course to finish in the top seven of the Premier League for the first time in three years.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said it would beam clearer images of cloud "waves", which contribute to turbulence, back to earth more quickly. It is also set to give better estimates of wind speed, fog, ice and lightning. Pilots have welcomed the advances, which are expected to be available from the second half of 2017. GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) is billed as the world's most advanced weather satellite. It also claims to pick up on hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, volcanic ash clouds, wildfires, lightning storms and solar flares more quickly. The $1bn (£800m) satellite will scan the skies five times faster than previous versions and with four times greater image resolution, according to Noaa. For airlines, the improved data and imaging will help pilots plan their routes to avoid hazardous conditions. Steven Goodman, a senior programme scientist for GOES-R, said satellites had previously struggled to capture clouds in enough detail to show the "waves" that contribute to turbulence. But the new satellite would deliver clearer views and send images back within minutes, he told the BBC. "It will give the weather as it's looking now rather than the weather that happened 15 to 30 minutes ago," he said. It was designed to also measure in-cloud lightning, wind speeds and fog patterns more accurately, he said. Pilots will appreciate the promised advances in weather forecasting, according to Steve Landells, a flight safety specialist at the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa). Mr Landells, a pilot of 27 years, said turbulence caused by lightning storms was more predictable, but that other types were more difficult. "If they can start predicting that to a great degree, and more timely, then that would be a significant help," he said. Noaa teamed up with Nasa for the mission, which saw about 8,000 space programme workers gather at the launch site in Florida on Saturday. The satellite is scheduled to reach an orbit of 22,300 miles (35,900km) in about two weeks and become operational within a year. Once running, it aims to produce full images of the Western Hemisphere every 15 minutes and the continental US every five minutes. Specific storm regions will be updated every 30 seconds.

School governors must ensure that deals allow parents to get good value for money, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has said. Complaints from parents have prompted the CMA to write an open letter to governors and suppliers in England. It has the power to fine suppliers if they are found to be anti-competitive. The CMA said there was no intention to take any legal action at this stage, but it has joined forces with various associations to call on schools and suppliers to review their agreements. The Schoolwear Association, which represents suppliers, said that exclusive deals often ensured that uniforms of good quality were available in all sizes. The authority said that exclusive deals could mean parents were not getting value for money, with "strong evidence" that they had increased prices. "Buying school uniforms can be very expensive and particularly hits low-income families and those with a number of children, so it is important parents and carers are able to shop around," said Ann Pope, senior director at the CMA. "We will continue monitoring the sector and will consider taking enforcement action, if it is necessary." The move follows a review of school uniform costs in 2012 which found: The Children's Society said that many parents were being prevented from buying cheaper school clothing from supermarkets. "School uniform costs can be a millstone around the necks of poorer parents, contributing to a cycle of debt and damaging the opportunities and well-being of lower income pupils," said Sam Royston, director of policy at the society. The National Governors' Association said schools should do all they could to keep costs to a minimum. Guidance for schools in England set by the Department for Education says that schools and governing bodies should ensure parents are getting good value for money. The Schoolwear Association said it was keen to work with the CMA. "There are some benefits to sole supplier arrangements, particularly because a single supplier is dedicated to the school and required to stock uniform all year round in all sizes," said the association's chairman, David Burgess. "When there are two or more suppliers, that sense of duty diminishes, and the school has less power to demand best value and service levels. If a school decides on a sole supplier arrangement, we strongly recommend periodically putting contracts out to tender where quotations can be compared on quality, service levels, year-round stocking, ethical sourcing and price." He added that suppliers were often local and independent and that they considered quality and sustainability. "We are anxious that the focus on school uniform should not be solely on price at the expense of poorer quality. We should remember that children spend an average of 10 hours a day in their uniform, so comfort and durability are vital," he said. The association has called on the government to remove VAT from school uniforms and introduce a voucher scheme, similar to childcare vouchers, to assist parents with the cost. Welshman Page's side beat West Brom on penalties to set up the Sixfields tie. "I've had a couple of pals texting me talking about when we used to collect the Panini stickers," said Page. "There was a couple of Tottenham and Liverpool fans, and I was Man United. It's great to have those memories, I've always looked out for their results." He added to BBC Radio Northampton: "It's a great opportunity for the players and they deserve that for the performance the other night." The League One side have never beaten Manchester United in four matches, their most recent meeting being an FA Cup game in 2004. But former Wales defender Page says his side must not lose focus on their league campaign, starting against Coventry on Saturday. "They'll be able to get themselves up for the Manchester United game - if they don't they're in the wrong profession," said Page. "What's important now is that we're grounded and realise it's the league campaign that's our priority and there's a lot of points to be gained from now until we play Manchester United."

Belgium's Pieters, 25, scored a five-under-par 65 at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio and is one shot ahead of Scotland's Russell Knox. Jordan Spieth was a shot further back, alongside Rory McIlroy, who was competing without caddie JP Fitzgerald. McIlroy ended a nine-year partnership with Fitzgerald this week, with Harry Diamond taking his place temporarily. Northern Ireland's world number four carded five birdies and two bogeys, the second coming at his final hole. "It was good, a little weird at the start," McIlroy said. "I'm taking a little bit more responsibility on myself and there were a couple of times where I probably should have hit another club, but that's on me, not anyone else. "I'd much rather be frustrated at my own decision than someone else's. It's great to have my best mate on the bag and we're just having a good time. "It was strange the first couple of holes but I stuck to it today and played pretty well. I guess it's the start of the next chapter in my career and we'll go from here." Defending champion and world number one Dustin Johnson is one shot behind McIlroy after carding a two-under-par 68, while former Masters champion Danny Willett's miserable form continued with a 76. McIlroy split with Fitzgerald after winning four majors together, saying "sometimes to preserve a personal relationship you have to sacrifice a professional one". He has brought in Diamond, a friend since childhood, for the Akron tournament and next week's major, the PGA Championship in Charlotte. "I just needed someone that knew me and that's why I took Harry for the next couple of weeks," he said on Wednesday. "If something doesn't work out and Harry and I say two weeks is enough, I'll need to find someone else but I've got 10 days between the end of the PGA and the start of the Northern Trust to do that."

Sir Nicholas Winton was 29 when he smuggled 669 boys and girls, destined for concentration camps, out of Czechoslovakia in 1939. The 101-year-old attended the service earlier at Maidenhead railway station in front of a crowd of onlookers. The piece, forming part of a bench, is on the station's platform three. It was unveiled by Maidenhead MP Theresa May. Sir Nicholas, of Pinkneys Green, was joined by members of the Maidenhead Rotary Club, where he is also a member. Scrapbook found A motion was unanimously passed to install the £20,000 statue, created by local sculptor Lydia Karpinska, by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council last year. It depicts Sir Nicholas relaxing on a park bench, reading a book which contains images of the children he saved and the trains used to evacuate them. Councillor Derek Wilson, who put forward the motion, called Sir Nicholas "a true hero". He added: "He played a valuable contribution in evacuating these children at a time when it was extremely difficult. "We should never forget the contribution of the members of our community that put their own lives at risk. "He is extremely modest but I felt it was important that in Maidenhead we recognised his achievements." Sir Nicholas kept quiet about his work for 50 years until his wife found a scrapbook. Realising the danger that the imminent Nazi invasion posed, he worked to find British families willing to put up £50 to rescue the children and look after them until they were 17. His efforts have been likened to the work of the world famous "saviour" of Jewish prisoners Oskar Schindler. Sir Nicholas was knighted by the Queen in March 2003 and a year earlier was finally reunited with hundreds of the children he saved - including Labour peer Lord Dubbs and film director Karel Reisz.

"We have to play the game with a lot of energy and just be mindful of how decent the Italians are," he said. "We must just be mindful ourselves of what we achieved against Sweden... and take that sort of performance into consideration when you're thinking about the game. "It's a fairly lengthy evening. We know at the end of it we have to be in front. It's a case of being very strong to begin with. I think we've to be fresh, alert. "Whatever comes or goes the players are ready for it. We've done a little bit of training with those who haven't participated in the games and if called upon they're ready." Media playback is not supported on this device

The move follows a similar extension for the independence referendum last year. The age extension was also supported in last year's Smith Commission on further devolution for Scotland. The voting age will be lowered next spring, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to take part in May's Holyrood election. Extending the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds during the referendum was widely considered a success in terms of engaging young people in politics. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said: "It has been a long-standing policy of this government to lower the voting age to 16 where we can and that policy now has, I am pleased to say, cross-party support across the chamber. "I am delighted to have reached consensus on the principle. "Building on that, I have been impressed by the thoughtful and passionate contributions that young people have made to the debate on the current proposals to extend the franchise permanently." He said the Scottish Elections (Reduction of Voting Age) Bill "provides a detailed, workable and practical framework to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to register for and vote in Scottish elections", replicating the work done during the referendum. He added: "I think it is a real missed opportunity on the part of the UK government not to enable 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in the EU referendum." Labour's Lewis Macdonald said: "This bill is notable in delivering a significant amount of change with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of agreement. "In passing this bill we should celebrate the democratic participation of all our citizens, the 100,000 or so 16 and 17-year-olds, the million over-65s and everyone in between. "We are extending the franchise precisely because we know from experience that democracy works." Conservative MSP Annabel Goldie told MSPs that the bill was an important moment for young people and democracy. "This bill heralds an exciting era for our young people," she said. "I think it is an opportunity for them to continue their high level of engagement in topical affairs that we saw with the independence referendum." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "The ball is now in the court of Scotland's 16 and 17-year-olds to demand a fairer deal from all of Scotland's political parties. "The right to vote comes with a responsibility to take part in our democratic debate. "From cuts to college places to the crisis facing our hospitals, there are many issues which will benefit from the voice and power of 16 and 17-year-olds." MSPs rejected a plea from Liberal Democrat Alison McInnes for the legislation to be altered so that Scottish ministers could decide if some young offenders could vote. Young people aged 16 and 17 were not allowed to vote in the recent general election, and they will not be able to take part in the forthcoming referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union. The UK government used a so-called "section 30" order, which avoids primary legislation, to pass power to the Scottish Parliament. This mechanism was used to lend Holyrood the unequivocal legal authority to hold the independence referendum. Margaret Miller, 45, of Gretna, pleaded not guilty to driving in the town on Thursday with 114 microgrammes of alcohol on her breath. The limit is 22. She also denied driving dangerously when pupils were leaving a nearby primary and with a child in her car. A trial date was fixed for June at Dumfries Sheriff Court. The sheriff has ordered the forfeiture of the car. The 27-year-old has played more than 100 games for the Blues after recovering from a stroke suffered during a game in 2010. Brecon-born Hobbs previously played for Pontypridd and represented Wales at a U-19s and U-20s level. "I am really looking forward to the new challenge ahead at Newport Gwent Dragons," said Hobbs. Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones added: "I have always been impressed with Sam as an all round player. "When we were made aware of his availability, we had no hesitation in making him an offer to stay in Wales, beating off offers from England. "He will add a great deal of experience and character to a maturing Newport Gwent Dragons squad." Hobbs had to take a six month break from rugby after suffering a "small blood clot" on his brain in 2010.

Paul and Sandra Dunham from Northampton appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court after being transferred from hospital. Judge Howard Riddle said the couple had taken enough drugs to do themselves "real harm". He rejected arguments from their legal team that they would not try again. They had been due to surrender to the authorities at Belgravia Police Station in London on Thursday morning. When reporters went to their home on Windingbrook Lane for arranged interviews that morning no-one answered the door and police were called. Officers forced their way into the property. Later that day, Paul Dunham told BBC Radio Northampton he and his wife, Sandra, both 58, had attempted to kill themselves. At Friday's hearing the judge said Mrs Dunham had told a nurse at Northampton General Hospital it had been a "cry for help". Judge Riddle said: "There is simply no other conclusion that I can reach on the face of it than, at the very least, it was to delay or prevent the [extradition] process from taking place." The court heard Home Secretary Theresa May had granted the couple 14 days before further attempts were made to extradite them. "In 14 days or thereabouts a decision will be taken that extradition is imminent and at that stage, despite the protestations that they won't, there is a real risk they will take steps to harm themselves," the judge said. The Dunhams had previously said they were ready to kill themselves rather than face extradition and a lengthy period of detention in the US. They had fought and lost an extradition battle over concerns about their health and possible treatment in US custody. Mr Dunham had been chief executive and president of Pace, a US company manufacturing soldering irons for the electronics industry. He was indicted on 13 counts of fraud and money laundering by a grand jury in Maryland in December 2011. Mrs Dunham is accused of aiding and abetting him. The couple worked in the US between 1999 and 2009. They were due to attend Belgravia police station at 10:00 BST on Thursday before being taken to Heathrow Airport to meet US marshals to be extradited. The US marshals said they were unsure of the next step and were consulting the overseas investigation department. The Latics parted company with Dunn on Tuesday after a run of seven league games without a win. Former Plymouth and Chesterfield boss Sheridan, 51, had been in charge of League Two Newport since 2 October. He was previously Oldham manager for nearly three years before leaving Boundary Park in March 2009. "Everyone knows how much I love this club," he told the club website. "I was here for a long time as both a player and a manager so I'm really chuffed and excited to be back. "I feel like I've got unfinished business from last time and I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's a big one, but I'm really excited about it." Sheridan's assistant Warren Feeney and first-team coach Michael Flynn will take charge of Newport for the rest of the season. In his three-month spell in charge at Rodney Parade, Sheridan led Newport from the bottom of the table to 20th, with five wins, seven draws and five defeats from 17 games in all competitions. The Welsh club suggested they might take action against the Latics. "The board of directors would like to put on record their thanks for the work John has done during his brief spell at the club," County said in a statement. "Whilst John leaves with our best wishes, we are disappointed with the way that Oldham have conducted themselves during this process and are considering our position." Oldham were 19th in League One when Dunn first took charge on a temporary basis in September, before being confirmed in the role after a month, but they have since fallen to 22nd, five points adrift of safety. The 36-year-old, who joined the Latics as a player last summer, won just three of his 20 games in charge. The team failed to win a home league match under his management, and have not done so since beating Fleetwood in August. Dunn's assistant Dean Holden and first-team coach Keith Brown have also left the club.

The mayor and the London Assembly make up the Greater London Authority (GLA). Transport, policing, environment, and housing and planning in London are the four big areas which the mayor controls. The mayor also creates policies for arts and culture, business, fire, health, regeneration, sport and young people in London. The London Assembly debates the mayor's policies, The assembly must also be consulted over the GLA budget. It can reject mayoral policies or amend the draft budget if two-thirds of assembly members agree to do so. Polling stations are open from 0700 until 2200 on 5 May. Registered voters will be given three ballot papers - pink, yellow and orange. After polls close, ballot boxes are stored overnight and counting begins from 0900 on Friday. Results are expected on Friday evening. Using the pink ballot paper, voters choose their first and second preferences for mayor. The votes are counted and if a candidate has won more than 50% of first preferences, they are elected mayor. If no candidate has won more than 50%, all but the top two candidates are eliminated. Any second preferences for the top two candidates from the eliminated candidates are added to their totals. Whoever has the most votes combined is declared the winner. Second preferences on the ballot papers of the top two candidates for one of the other top candidates are not counted. Voters have two ballot papers to choose the two types of London Assembly member. The yellow ballot paper is used to choose the constituency member. Voters choose one candidate, who if elected will represent their area of London. Ballots are counted and whoever has won the most is elected. The orange ballot paper is used to choose one of the 11 additional London-wide assembly members, who represent the whole city. This time, voters choose one political party or an individual standing as an independent candidate. London-wide seats are allocated using proportional representation, using a mathematical formula called modified D'Hondt. The 45-year-old, who beat Larry Butler 4-0 in round two, is top of the BDO rankings after a successful 2015. "I'd rather be favourite. When I was the outsider, nobody was interested.

But Middlesbrough's Durrant said he has not been affected by other leading contenders making shock exits from the tournament, adding: "The seeds have gone in the bottom half of the draw. "Everything's gone as planned in the top half of the draw, so who I thought I'd be playing is still on. "It's the bottom half, people like Scott Mitchell and Jeff Smith, who will be licking their lips." Durrant recovered from a narrow World Championship semi-final defeat by Adams 12 months ago to win six ranking titles last year. "My confidence is sky high," he continued. "I'm in the quarter-finals at Lakeside - that's what we practice for, why we play local leagues, county darts and the tour. I'm in a great place." The body was found at a property on Carlton Road, Bordesley Green, at about 23.30 BST on Friday. The man is yet to be formally identified but police said he was believed to be a 34-year-old from the Yardley area, reported missing on Thursday. They said they believed the 11 people arrested were known to the man. They are: Five men aged 45, 33, 28, 24 and 23, four women aged 50, 41, 25 and 19 and two boys, both aged 15. A post-mortem examination is yet to take place. West Midlands Police called on anyone who saw the man's car - a white Toyota Yaris registration FM64 PHU - in and around Carlton Road in the last two days to come forward. The car was found about a mile away in Adderley Road on Friday. Det Insp Warren Hines said: "We are currently treating his death as suspicious and we took swift action to arrest 11 people at the scene - who we believe were known to the man - on suspicion of his murder."

Currently, students in Northern Ireland receive maintenance loan and grant payments three times a year, usually at the beginning of each academic term. Student leaders say that making the payments monthly would help students make ends meet more easily. DEL said it would cost between £250,000 and £350,000 to implement the changes. Most students in Northern Ireland take out a loan to cover living costs, but many also receive additional support grants. Unlike loans, the grants are means tested and do not have to be repaid. In 2013/14 over 42,000 students in Northern Ireland borrowed a total of £131m in maintenance loans. However, just under 25,000 students - around 60% - were also given a support grant to help with living costs, costing DEL just over £68m. The level of grant a student receives depends on household income. If it is £19,203 or less, students are eligible for the maximum grant of £3,475 a year. However, students coming from households where the total income is between £19,203 and £41,605 receive a partial grant, and in 2013/14, 38% of students in Northern Ireland got the full grant and 22% received a partial grant. Like maintenance loans - where a student gets £3,750 a year if they are living with their parents and £4,840 a year if they are living independently - the grants are paid in September, January and April. However, a monthly system is currently operating in Scotland, where students get a relatively large initial payment in September, followed by smaller monthly payments from October to June. NUS-USI President Fergal McFerran said that monthly payments would be better for students. "Having monthly support payments, with the September payment being larger than the other 11 months, could help students pay for accommodation deposits, household equipment or study materials that they need to buy at the start of the academic year," he said. However, there is no indication that the level of maintenance loan or support grant is set to rise. Launching the consultation, DEL Minister Stephen Farry said: "While there is little flexibility in the current financial context with the overall level of support available to students, there is scope to consider the profiling of that support." The consultation closes on Sunday 27 September. Tuition fee loans, currently at £3,805 per year for a Northern Irish student studying at Queen's or Ulster University, are paid directly to the university and would not be affected by any changes. The firm said work on the structure at Ufton Nervet, in Berkshire, would start in 2016, subject to planning permission. The rail operator has previously been criticised for not building a bridge sooner. It had described the site as "complicated and constricted". Brian Drysdale had been waiting for the results of an HIV test when he parked his car on the crossing in 2004, killing himself and six people aboard a train. A further 140 were injured, the Office of Rail and Road said. Four people have since died at the site. Julian Burnell, from Network Rail, said the bridge had been "specifically designed to blend in with the environment as much as possible". He said it would be no more than 9m (29ft) high and would have earth banks on either side and be planted with native trees. "Notoriety" and "misuse" of the level crossing had led to the need for a bridge, Mr Burnell said. He added that it had "been in the pipeline for a very long time". Network Rail said it had been working closely with West Berkshire Council on the plans and hoped to submit a planning application after the election. The council said the bridge proposal was not a "joint partnership" with Network Rail, but added it had received amended plans from the firm after its "initial safety concerns". The authority added it would "carefully assess those before responding". Once work starts, the rail firm said it would take less than 12 months to complete. Mr Burnell said Network Rail had closed 900 level crossings over the past five years, with 600 more expected to close by the end of 2019.

The Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) has launched a consultation on whether grants should be paid to students every month. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A design for a bridge replacing a "notorious" level crossing where 11 people have been killed since 2004 has been unveiled by Network Rail.

Large majorities in the state House and Senate dismissed objections by Democratic Governor Pat Quinn. The state had been under court order to adopt a concealed carry law. The debate over gun rights in the US has raged since December, when a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at a school in Connecticut. Gun rights proponents say the US constitution protects an individual's right to carry guns, while opponents of the concealed carry law feared it would allow virtually unregulated possession of handguns in the city of Chicago, which is grappling with a severe gun violence epidemic. In December, a federal appeals court struck down Illinois' ban on carrying a concealed weapon as a violation of the US constitution's guarantee of the right to bear arms. The court gave the state six months to write a law legalising it. Mr Quinn vigorously opposed a concealed carry law, but the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal. In May, the state legislature passed a bill despite his objections. He vetoed the bill, suggesting restrictions on concealed weapons that would satisfy him. On Tuesday, legislators in the House and Senate easily mustered a two-thirds majority needed to override Mr Quinn's veto, barely beating the court deadline. "Following a weekend of horrific violence in Chicago in which at least 70 people were shot and 12 killed, this was the wrong move for public safety in Illinois," Mr Quinn said in a statement after the vote. He said legislators had "surrendered" to the National Rifle Association, a powerful gun rights lobby funded in part by weapons manufacturers. He warned the new law would allow people to carry guns in pubs and bars, and allow people to carry virtual arsenals on their persons. Gun rights proponents, meanwhile, celebrated. "This is a historic, significant day for law-abiding gun owners,'' Representative Brandon Harris, a southern Illinois Democrat said, according to the Associated Press. Referring to the clause in the US constitution that refers to gun ownership, he said, "They finally get to exercise their Second Amendment rights." The 38-year-old ended his playing career with the Blues in 2014 and has been working as a television pundit. Iwelumo replaces Ian Sharps, who moved to League One side Walsall to become their first-team coach. "Can't wait to get started at such a brilliantly run club," he said on Twitter.

Jersey marked 71 years since its liberation from Nazi occupation on 9 May with a service and re-enactment in Liberation Square. Bailiff, William Bailhache, gave his speech twice as the power cut hit just before he was due to speak. Heavy rain also caused a number of people in the audience to leave early. Hundreds still turned up to mark the event, seen as the island's national day including ex-servicemen and occupation survivors. Organisers had planned a change to the traditional order of service, moving the Bailiff's speech to before the religious portion of the programme. As the power cut hit just before the Bailiff was due to speak he was asked to give his speech again, with amplification, during the religious portion, returning to the normal order. Jersey Electricity say the power was off in both islands but did not say why. The power cut lasted about 20 minutes. In his speech, William Bailhache urged people to be tolerant of other people's religion, describing Jersey as a tolerant society. He said: "In this Island today let us be beacons of tolerance, respecting those of different backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion." A traditional part of the service is the singing of Jersey's unofficial anthem, Beautiful Jersey. For decades it has been sung by Sadie Rennard, but for the first time student Rachel Hayden performed the song. The re-enactment saw Jersey's army cadet force replicate the original liberating forces journey through a packed Liberation Square in 1946. This was then followed by a parade of the Jersey Field Squadron, bands, cadet forces and classic vehicles.

Rail and Maritime Transport (RMT) union members are protesting about the relocation of Tube drivers. Central, Waterloo and City lines are affected. Maintenance workers on London Underground have separately voted to strike over a breakdown in relations. No date has been set for action. Meanwhile, Southern Railway conductors are also set to walk out on Wednesday. The dispute centres on a long-running row over the role of train guards. Tuesday 21 February Wednesday 22 February Normal services are not expected to resume until Thursday. Peter McNaught, operations director for the Central Line, said the Tube drivers' strike was "unnecessary". He added: "We have made all reasonable efforts to resolve this dispute through talking." Maintenance workers have voted to strike by two to one, and by nine to one for other forms of industrial action. The RMT is now considering what form action should take. General secretary Mick Cash said the "door has been slammed in our faces", despite "strenuous efforts" to resolve the dispute. "If London Underground is allowed to get away with this move on the Central Line they will start shunting drivers around at the drop of a hat, regardless of the consequences," he added. Southern said it hoped to run as many trains as possible during the strike on Wednesday. During the previous conductors' strike on 23 January, about three-quarters of its regular service ran, the firm said. The prohibition was imposed on Damien "Dee" Fennell as part of conditions under which he was granted bail at the High Court in Belfast on Wednesday. A judge decided the 33-year-old could be released from custody after he pledged to abide by all terms. They also included an order not to post any material online. Mr Fennell, from the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, is also accused of inviting support for a proscribed organisation. The charges relate to a speech he gave during a 1916 commemoration event at St Colman's graveyard in Lurgan, County Armagh on Easter Sunday. His address was recorded and broadcast on the internet, only to be removed following media reports that police were investigating the contents. PSNI officers searched Fennell's home on April 20 and recovered one page of the hand-written speech behind a kitchen microwave, a prosecution lawyer said. The accused denied encouraging any terrorism following his arrest. During police interviews his lawyer read a prepared statement where he described comments about the armed struggle and existence of the IRA as his personal opinion. Mr Fennell, a spokesman for the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective which opposes Orange Order marches through his neighbourhood, was said to have been addressing an event organised by the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association. Part of the speech claimed a "British micro-minister" would later be attending the same graveyard. Prosecution counsel said this was believed to be a reference to one of the Sinn Fein ministers at Stormont. Opposing bail, she claimed Mr Fennell did not recognise the court and would not comply with any conditions set. However, a defence lawyer said Mr Fennell had fully participated in each court appearance. His alleged opposition is a fallacy advanced in a bid to stop him being released, she claimed. The judge asked Fennell, who appeared via a prison video-link, if he would comply with release conditions and turn up at court. He replied: "I will." Following his assurance, the judge said: "On the basis of you giving me your word I will admit you to bail." Mr Fennell was instructed to live at his home address - which is not to be published - and report to police three times a week. The judge also directed: "You are to refrain from any public speaking, and you are not to post or cause to be posted any material on the internet or social media pending the outcome of this case."

Media playback is not supported on this device The 33-year-old suffered several broken bones after suffering an accident while leading the Dundrod 150 Superbike race in August. The TT racer and television personality, who has returned to work as a truck fitter, is now recovering. "I still want to race, but I'm not going to rush into deciding what or where I'm going to race," Martin said. "Having a few days off work gave me time to think about what I want to do, and realise all the things that have had to go on hold." Media playback is not supported on this device Martin says he does not remember anything about the crash at Dundrod on 6 August. He lost control of his Tyco BMW at Ireland's Corner on the circuit as he was leading the Superbike race by less than a second from Bruce Anstey. "I headbutted the ground at 130mph, then skidded into a dirt field and catapulted off a few things," Martin added. "The impact I hit the ground with was massive. "I broke five vertebrae and they had to rod my spine because I broke my sternum too. I broke five ribs and two metacarpals in right hand, too, and my hand's been plated. "There's no better physio than working on trucks and I know when I'm doing too much, I'm not planning to do anything that puts the recovery back." The problem is on the rise across Northern Ireland and particularly in south Belfast which, for the past 10 years, has consistently seen the highest levels. Despite its prevalence, it is estimated that just one in six bike thefts are reported to the police. In an effort to tackle the problem, police have introduced a bike registration scheme. PSNI Sgt Pete Cunningham said that "people are leaving their bikes unattended, which provides a unique opportunity for others to take them". "We need to secure bikes when we are out and about," he warned. "Even if it is just for a short period of time, they need to be secured and left in a well-lit area." Paul Manton, manager of south Belfast bike retailer McConvey's Cycles, told the BBC that people in Northern Ireland are not spending enough on bike security. "Usually, theft is the last thing on anyone's mind when they are buying a bike," he said. "We would recommend that people spend at least 10% of the value of their bike on a lock, but very few people rely on good quality locks. "You could have a two or three thousand pound bike in your shed, which only has a £5 padlock on its door and no lock on the bike itself," he added. Claire McLernon of the cycling charity Sustrans, said the figures should not put people off cycling to work, because there are "so many things you can do to minimise the risks". "If you're committed to buying a good bicycle, you need to be equally as committed to buying a good lock," she said. "I had a bicycle that had the lock cut through in south Belfast, but it was a cheap chain from a hardware store. "I'm hearing more about bikes being stolen, but I try to take the positive from that, that more people must be cycling. "People are learning how to deal with bike theft and there are improvements being made. "Nobody should be put off cycling by bike theft - just make sure you protect yourself against it." The PSNI's bike registration scheme is available through local crime prevention units, where police mark bikes, free of charge.

Motorcyclist Guy Martin still wants to race but will not be rushed into making a comeback. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Bicycle theft is "almost like the new car theft", the PSNI has said.

It has also been refused permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Weller and his wife won the damages last year after pictures of his three youngest children were "plastered" on Mail Online in 2012. The couple complained that the un-pixellated shots were "plainly voyeuristic". They sued Associated Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mail, the Mail on Sunday and Metro, for misuse of private information on behalf of their daughter Dylan, who was 16 when the pictures appeared online, and twin sons John-Paul and Bowie, who were 10 months old. Associated Newspapers appealed against the ruling because it said it created what was, in effect, an "image right" - that is, giving legal control to the subject of the photograph - for the first time and this would have far-reaching adverse effects on the freedom of the UK media. However three High Court judges today dismissed the appeal and refused Associated Newspapers permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Seven paparazzi photos were published in October 2012 under the headline "A family day out: Paul Weller takes wife Hannah and his twin sons out for a spot of shopping in the hot LA sun". A photographer had followed the family on a shopping trip in Santa Monica, California, and took photographs without their consent despite being asked to stop. Lawyers for Mail Online had argued the publication of the images was entirely in line with the law in California where they were taken by a freelance photographer. The judge agreed the images could have been published legally in California, but said their appearance in the UK violated the right to privacy enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Since their win at the High Court, Hannah Weller has campaigned to stop papers publishing photos of children without their parents' consent. They face Germany on Tuesday, the same opponents who inflicted a 4-0 defeat on them in the final eight years ago.

Members of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and technical union Bectu voted in favour of the walkouts. The latest industrial action follows a one-day strike by NUJ members on 18 February which affected programmes. Another strike by union members in Scotland that had been due to take place on Friday and Monday has now been called off. The BBC is cutting about 2,000 jobs over five years as part of its Delivering Quality First programme. The NUJ vote was 61% in favour of stoppages, while backing among Bectu members was 56%. Both unions were also in favour of action short of a strike, with 80% of NUJ members and 81% of Bectu's supporting it. "BBC staff have today rejected management's attempts to create a modern-day BBC sweatshop," said Bectu leader Gerry Morrissey. "Current demands on staff are unacceptable and with more job cuts planned it is essential that the BBC takes stock of the impact of DQF on its workforce." Those sentiments were echoed by Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary of the NUJ, who accused the BBC of deciding "not to properly engage" with its members' concerns. NUJ members staged a 24-hour walkout on 18 February that changed some schedules and affected several programmes, including BBC Breakfast and Radio 4's Today. Next week's strike, which is over job cuts, workload and claims of harassment, has the potential to affect Easter bank holiday schedules. In a statement, a BBC spokesperson said the corporation had had "constructive meetings" with the unions in recent weeks but said its position on compulsory redundancies remained unchanged. "We must progress with those given the significant savings we have to make and strike action simply will not change this," the spokesperson continued. "We continue to work extremely hard to redeploy staff and have already succeeded in redeploying nearly double the number of people that have been made redundant. "We hope with such a low turn-out and relatively small numbers voting for a strike that the unions will reconsider taking industrial action."

The French student was last seen in Edinburgh College's Milton Road Campus at about 22:30 on 24 October, when he "suddenly" left a group of friends. His body was recovered from the loch on 2 December after searches in which members of Mr Maury's family took part. Police Scotland said a report had been sent to the procurator fiscal. Ch Insp Kevin McLean said: "Our thoughts are with the family of Antoine, whose courage and dignity throughout this harrowing time has been unparalleled. "I would like to thank those members of the public and media who assisted in our search, their support was essential. "We are supporting Antoine's family through an appointed family liaison officer. We will continue to work with them and offer assistance throughout this difficult time."

Protesters came from across Italy to attend "Family Day", which featured conga-dancing Catholic priests. Parliament began considering the legislation earlier this week and is due to vote on it in February. Italy is the last major Western nation not to give legal recognition to same-sex couples. Many of those attending the rally at Rome's Circus Maximus, a former chariot-racing venue, held up banners saying "It is wrong even if it becomes law". "These unions are very easy to form but also easy to collapse," said one protester. "Instead, we think that the family has great value and this law can destroy it." A clause in the bill that allows gay people to adopt the biological children of their partner is proving particularly contested. "The traditional family is based exclusively on a man and a woman. We don't want to deprive children of the right to have a father and a mother," said another of those there. Organisers said two million had attended, far more than the venue's capacity, and journalists at the scene estimated the figure at around 300,000. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi faces opposition within his coalition government in his bid to pass the bill, with his environment minister attending and his interior minister tweeting support for the rally. Last week rallies were held in major cities across Italy demanding legal recognition for same-sex couples Italy has faced repeated complaints from European Court of Human Rights over its stance on gay marriage. The payout - the largest class action settlement in Australia - was over the deadliest of the Black Saturday fires, which killed 173 people in 2009. Thousands sued a power company and others for negligence over the fire. The settlement does not include any admissions of liability. The case centred on the most deadly blaze on Black Saturday, 7 February 2009, when wildfires swept across several areas in the state of Victoria. This particular fire, in the Kilmore East area north of Melbourne, killed 119 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes. A 2009 Royal Commission found that the fire began when an electricity line failed between two poles. Contact between the live conductor and a cable stay supporting the pole caused arcing that ignited vegetation, the report said. The plaintiffs accused SP AusNet of failing to adequately maintain its power lines. They also sued Utility Services Corporation Ltd, the line maintenance contractor, and the Victoria state government's Department of Sustainability and Environment for inadequate prevention measures. Earlier this year, the group was awarded a settlement of A$497.4m ($467m, £274m), of which SP AusNet is expected to pay A$378.6m. The settlement - which includes the state government - does not come with any admission of liability by any of the parties. The agreement needed the final approval of the court, which was given on Tuesday. Carol Matthews, who lost her son, Sam, in the fire, told the AFP news agency that the Victoria state Supreme Court's approval was "a huge relief". "Nothing will ever replace what we have lost, but today we have been vindicated for standing up for our rights," the agency quotes her as saying.

Thousands of people have rallied in the Italian capital Rome against a bill giving gay couples legal recognition and adoption rights.

The Prison Service said Alex Kelly had been identified as being at risk of suicide or self-harm, but did not give details of the boy's condition when he was found. Kelly was taken to hospital from HMP Cookham Wood, near Rochester, but he later died, a spokeswoman said. He had been serving a 10-month sentence for burglary and theft from a vehicle. The teenager was found in his cell at about 20:30 GMT on Tuesday. Staff tried to resuscitate him and paramedics attended before he was taken to hospital, but he was pronounced dead at 19:30 GMT on Wednesday. Kelly is the second young offender to die within a week at young offenders institutions in the UK. Jake Hardy was found at Hindley young offenders institution in Wigan on Friday and taken to hospital, where he died on Tuesday. The Prison Service spokeswoman said: "Every death in custody or the community is a tragedy for families and has a profound effect on staff and other offenders. "The National Offender Management Service (Noms) is committed to reducing the numbers of deaths in custody. "Each death is subject to an investigation and, since 2004, these have been undertaken by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman. "Additionally, for young people who die in custody there will be a serious case review, commissioned by the local safeguarding board." A spokeswoman for the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) said investigators would try to answer any questions Kelly's friends and family may have, and would also involve them in the investigation if they wished. She said: "Our independent investigation will aim to identify the full circumstances of the death and whether there were any failings in Alex Kelly's care. "Where possible we will identify lessons to be learned and make recommendations to the Prison Service to help prevent similar deaths in future." Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust campaign group, said: "Lessons must be learnt from the tragic deaths within one week of two children in prison. "Above all, we need to become 'wise before the event' and avoid locking up our most vulnerable young people in our bleakest institutions." She also said that low staffing levels and lack of resources made it very difficult for staff to respond to youngsters in extreme distress. Andrew Neilson, director of campaigns at the Howard League for Penal Reform, said the prison had a "chequered past". "The last inspection report found the prison to be unsafe. So why do we continue to send children there, and places like it?," he said. "The truth is that warehousing children in large prisons is completely inappropriate and ignores the fact that young people in conflict with the law often present many complex needs that a prison simply cannot provide for." The pair plan to have the exchange, called Gemini, trading later this year, reports the New York Times. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are known to have invested millions in the virtual currency. Currently the value of each bitcoin is approaching $200 (£133) - far below the $1,200-high it hit in November 2013. Development work on software underpinning the exchange is being carried out at the Bitcoin start-up founded by the Winklevoss twins. In addition, they have been lobbying New York financial regulators to drum up support for the idea and have signed up banks to handle deposits and transfers. Work on the exchange began after New York's financial services watchdog last year encouraged virtual currency entrepreneurs operating in the state to apply for formal recognition. This, said the watchdog, was the first step towards full regulation of such exchanges. The twins won a $65m payout from Mark Zuckerberg after accusing him of stealing their idea for a college-based social network. Bitcoin is a virtual currency built around a complicated cryptographic protocol and a global network of computers that oversees and verifies which coins have been spent by whom. Exchanges, through which virtual money can be traded for real cash or to other owners, have been one of the weak points in the whole Bitcoin ecosystem. Some have gone bust leaving traders out of pocket, many have been robbed of all their deposits and now more and more nations are seeking to impose strict controls on how they operate. The value of each bitcoin has fluctuated widely over the last few years but has been on a steady downward path since late 2013 even though many more online stores and companies accept them in exchange for goods and services.

Whitney has taken control of the first team after Sean O'Driscoll was sacked as head coach on Sunday. "I add my little piece, my ingredients. Neil Cutler adds a little bit, John Ward, some of the players, the skipper, some of the younger lads add theirs. "If overall that becomes quite a nice-tasting pie, then that pie could be quite successful," he told BBC WM. Walsall are fourth in the table, five points behind second-placed Wigan and with a game in hand on all of their promotion rivals. Whitney will be assisted by goalkeeping coach Cutler and professional development coach Ward. Previously the club's physio, Whitney was briefly appointed caretaker of the first team when Dean Smith left the club to join Brentford in November. Following the arrival of O'Driscoll, Whitney became assistant head coach and he believes he is experienced enough to guide the Saddlers in his new role. "I've had a big input over the years with decisions that have been made," he added. "I look at things from a different perspective to some coaches but what I bring to the table can be a great benefit. "I count myself as so lucky but I've earned my luck over the years, I'm ready for it. I've been thinking about it for a couple of years now and I enjoy taking the lead role." After several years of managerial stability under Smith, Whitney says Walsall's players can adapt to another change in the coaching setup as they challenge for promotion. "I'd like to think they've coped with change so well this year and that's part of the process, given the coping strategies for us to be able to do that," Whitney said. "I understand I'm at the helm now and with that comes a little bit of responsibility. I will give my all cause. If I fall short, that's life. Plans don't always go as you expect but I make sure I keep to my values and keep the same principles. "The spark is still there. It's been really close and I believe we have been unfortunate with the points tally in the last four games." The Public Health Agency (PHA) said it had received reports of people experiencing unpleasant and potentially dangerous side effects. The PHA said it was using its early warning system to raise awareness of the risks. Anyone feels unwell after taking these drugs should seek medical help. Owen O'Neill from the PHA urged people not to take risks with their health. "Synthetic cannabinoids are chemicals that are made to act like the active part of cannabis using a substance called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)," he said. The PHA said it had received reports of users experiencing a range of very unpleasant symptoms including: "While some more recently developed synthetic cannabinoids are legal to sell, it is illegal to sell them for human consumption and many have been banned under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Mr O'Neill said 107 different synthetic cannabinoids had been identified across Europe, and the potency was hugely variable. "While some more recently developed synthetic cannabinoids are legal to sell, it is illegal to sell them for human consumption and many have been banned under the Misuse of Drugs Act," he said. "They are often a lot stronger than cannabis and may even have completely different effects. "The synthetic cannabinoids which have been noted in reports are most commonly named as 'doob', 'sky high'/ 'sky blue' / 'blue sky'. "People may experience acute mental and physical health problems when using synthetic cannabinoids as they have assumed that the dose to be taken is similar to that of cannabis, when the synthetic drug is actually much stronger. "Mixing synthetic cannabinoids with alcohol or other drugs is also particularly dangerous as not enough is known about synthetic cannabinoids to predict how they will interact with other drugs."

Jon Whitney says the input of staff and players at League One side Walsall can help to create a "successful pie". [NEXT_CONCEPT] A number of people have been hospitalised in Northern Ireland after smoking synthetic cannabis.

The US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) cuts trade tariffs and sets common standards in member countries including Japan and the US. China said it was "open to any mechanism" that follows World Trade Organization rules. But it did not indicate it would join the TPP, which still needs to be ratified by lawmakers in each country. China, which was not part of the negotiations, has announced its own rival trade agreement. The TPP, which covers about 40% of the world economy, was struck on Monday after five days of talks in Atlanta in the US. Those talks were the culmination of five years of negotiations between member countries led by the US. The deal is seen by some as a counter balance to China's growing economic influence in the Asia Pacific region. China's Ministry of Commerce called the TPP "one of the key free trade agreements for the Asia-Pacific region", according to a statement on Xinhua state news agency website. "China hopes the TPP pact and other free trade arrangements in the region can boost each other and contribute to the Asia-Pacific's trade, investment and economic growth," it said. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Tuesday the deal signified a "new Asia-Pacific century", but added that it would have strategic meaning if China joined in the future. "It would contribute largely to our nation's security and Asia-Pacific regional stability," he said. How did it start? With a trade agreement signed 10 years ago between Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. How big is it? Pretty big. The 12 countries have a population of about 800 million and are responsible for 40% of world trade. What are the criticisms? That negotiations have been conducted in secret, and that it favours big corporations. Who benefits most? Japan stands to reap huge economic benefits from the deal, while for the US it is an important strategic move. What happens next? The agreement will need to be ratified by each of the individual member countries. What people say about TPP What is the TPP and why does it matter? TPP trade deal: Winners and losers Japan has made concessions to open its market wider to food exporters including Australia, New Zealand and the US. Under the deal, 98% of tariffs will be eliminated on a wide range of products including: dairy, beef, sugar, wine, rice, horticulture and seafood, manufactured products, resources and energy. Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the TPP "a gigantic foundation stone for our future prosperity". Australian sugar cane-growers are unhappy, however, because they wanted more access to the US market than was agreed upon. Canada and Japan have agreed to allow greater access to their tightly controlled dairy markets, while New Zealand convinced the US to accept more of its milk products. Prime Minister John Key said this meant "more jobs, higher incomes and a better standard of living". Vili Fualaau, now 33, submitted papers to a court in Washington state, US, to end his 12-year marriage to Mary Kay Fualaau (formerly Letourneau), aged 55. Mrs Fualaau was a married 34-year-old mother of four when she began a relationship with him. After she had served her prison term, the pair married in secret in 2005. Mr Fualaau filed for separation early this month without stating the reason for his decision, it has emerged. In the petition, he writes that neither he nor his wife own any property or have debts, US media report. Mr Fualaau, who has two children with his wife, also states that they are no longer dependent, asking for a fair division of the couple's joint assets. His wife has so far made no public comments on the issue. Mr Fualaau was a sixth-grade student when the relationship began in Seattle in 1996. The teacher was arrested in 1997 when she was pregnant with the couple's first child, and later admitted second-degree child rape. Her initial six-month sentence was then commuted to three months - under the condition that she would have no contacts with her former pupil. But within weeks the pair were caught having sex, and she was jailed for seven years. She gave birth to the couple's second child in prison.

Ali Qazimaj, 42, of Tilbury, Essex, was arrested over the murders of Peter and Sylvia Stuart, from Weybread, on 17 June. The Court of Appeal in Luxembourg will have 20 days to review his case. Mr Stuart's body was found in Weybread on 3 June. His wife has yet to be found, but police believe she has also been killed. Live: Updates on this story on the Suffolk Live page The couple were last seen alive at Goodies Farm Shop in Pulham Market, Norfolk, on 29 May, and were reported missing five days later. Mr Stuart's body was discovered near their home with multiple stab wounds. Mr Qazimaj was found in a hostel in Luxembourg City after being identified by a female member of staff who recognised him through photos on the internet. If the decision to extradite him is upheld, Mr Qazimaj will be surrendered to Suffolk Police within 10 days. Tuesday's magnitude 8.2 tremor struck at 18:46 local time (23:46 GMT), at a depth of about 20km. This put the epicentre offshore. The resulting displacement of the seabed generated a 2m-high tsunami, according to initial calculations. It's only four years since Chile's 8.8 event at Maule much further to the south. The drivers are the same. Chile runs along the boundary between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. These are vast slabs of the Earth's surface that grind past each other at a rate of about 80mm per year. The Nazca plate, which makes up the Pacific Ocean floor in this region, is being pulled down and under the South American coast. It's a process that has helped to build the Andes and made Chile one of the most seismically active locations on the globe. This particular event occurred in what seismologists refer to as the Iquique seismic gap - a segment of the plate boundary that has been relatively quiet in recent times. The last big event here was the magnitude 8.8 tremor of 1877, just to the south, which claimed more than 2,000 lives. "The subduction zone, or plate interface, is highly segmented, so different parts fail at different times," explained Dr Brian Baptie from the British Geological Survey. "This particular segment hadn't failed for over 100 years. So, it is perhaps not a great surprise that a large earthquake has occurred here." Of course, modern Chilean society should be much better prepared and much more resilient than in the 19th Century. However, the tremor struck early evening local time on Tuesday, and it is likely that only daylight hours on Wednesday will reveal the true extent of the damage. Experimental work that makes immediate estimates of probable casualties - based on the quake's characteristics and parameters such as the event region's population size - warned there could be many hundreds of injuries and deaths. Time will tell. As is always the case, the main 8.2 tremor was followed by a swarm of aftershocks. Many of these have been fives, but one, a 6.2, hit just 12 minutes after the initial event. Aftershocks have the effect of further rattling the nerves of already anxious people, but their danger lies in their ability to pull down buildings that have previously been weakened to near collapse. Seismologists will now be studying this part of Chile intensively, to assess how much strain has been released from the Iquique segment of the plate boundary. If a large amount of strain remains in the rocks, the segment runs the risk of another big quake at some point in the future. Historical studies are important also in this respect. Scientists will want to know if there is evidence in the past of close clustering of major tremors. In the absence of detailed modern seismological records, researchers must look for this evidence in the rocks themselves. Phenomena such as tsunamis leave tell-tale traces in the sediments that can be used to date the occurrence of big events thousands of years back in time.

Princess Anne is patron of the Northern Lighthouse Board and a lighthouse "bagger". Balmedie-based Ian Cowe spent seven years putting together his book Scottish and Manx Lighthouses. In the foreword, the princess has written of the "remoteness and exceptional natural beauty" of the sites captured in Cowe's images. The lighthouses were constructed to designs drawn by engineers working under or after renowned Scots engineer Robert Stevenson in the 18th Century. Princess Anne said: "Ian Cowe's journey by foot, car, boat, plane and helicopter around our coast capturing the great lights built by the Stevenson engineers shows a real dedication," "The lighthouses stand testament to the dedicated work of the Stevenson engineers - built to last for the benefit of the mariner. Each light being quite different from the next as the generations of an engineering dynasty developed their own style but still very obviously and easily recognisable as Stevenson lighthouses." The book will be officially launched at an event on the former Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith next week. Their conduct is one of a series of issues that will be examined by The Charity Commission in its inquiry into 1st Knight Military Charity. BBC Scotland secretly filmed the charity's founder selling T-shirts emblazoned with offensive messages. Andy Linihan also sold badges alluding to the shooting of suicide bombers. The Charity Commission announced it had launched an investigation shortly after the BBC documentary, The Great Military Charity Scandal, was broadcast earlier this month. The programme revealed the charity was selling Nazi-themed T-shirts and hooded jumpers, some emblazoned with neo-Nazi emblems. Velcro badges, designed to be placed on uniforms or baseball caps, featured a picture of an assault rifle and the words '72 Virgins Express'. The Charity Commission has now outlined the issues that will be examined by the inquiry: Mr Linihan said he accepted the items filmed by the BBC were "products which ought not to be sold by the charity". He added: "As a result of your visit, we have withdrawn the products from the shop and removed them from the internet."

Doctors performed pioneering surgery on Frankie Lavis, who has spina bifida, when mother Gina was 24 weeks pregnant. Frankie's was the first NHS-funded operation of its kind and was carried out in Belgium. Prof Jan Deprest, who performed the surgery, found Frankie flourishing when he was reunited with her shortly before her first birthday. Spina bifida occurs when a section of the spinal column does not form properly, which can expose the spinal cord to toxic chemicals in the womb. Gina Lavis said she was "overwhelmed" and "devastated" when her baby's spina bifida was diagnosed at the 20-week scan. Having carried out online research and spoken with doctors in Plymouth she went to Belgium four weeks later to undergo surgery carried out by Prof Deprest. He cut through the womb and operated on the baby's spine to close the hole caused by spina bifida. The operation aims to avert further damage and prevent the build-up of potentially harmful fluid. Mrs Lavis gave birth at 35 weeks and was thrilled to see the success of the operation. "She came out screaming and kicking her legs," Mrs Lavis told BBC's Inside Out South West. Prof Deprest came to Plymouth ahead of Frankie's first birthday and said her progress was "exceptional". "We expect an improvement but we do not necessarily expect that it returns to normal," he said. Dr Ross Welch, consultant at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, said: "I'm astonished by Frankie. The improvement over what we would have expected without the prenatal surgery is really very impressive." Mrs Lavis said Frankie was growing into a "normal, healthy little girl". She said: "Frankie is Frankie. Spina bifida is just a small part of her." Mrs Lavis was the ninth woman to have the surgery at Leuven Teaching Hospital. The surgery was first developed at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia in the US, where it has been performed more than 200 times.

Benjamin Netanyahu said the new elections for the 120-member Knesset - the Israeli parliament - would take place "as soon as possible." His right-wing coalition government has been in power since 2009. Although he remains a popular leader he has been unable to agree the annual budget with his coalition partners. The next election had originally been scheduled to take place in October next year. Mr Netanyahu said he had decided to pull the date forward because bickering among his coalition partners had made it impossible to pass a "responsible budget" for 2013. "At this time, in the face of the turmoil around us, it is my obligation as prime minister to put the national interest above all," he said. "Therefore I have decided for the benefit of Israel to hold elections now and as quickly as possible." He did not set a date, but said it would be "preferable to have as short a campaign as possible" and hold the vote in the minimum three months. The BBC's Wyre Davies, in Jerusalem, says that although Mr Netanyahu is facing many tricky policy situations - including the collapse of peace talks with the Palestinians and how to respond to Iran's nuclear programme - it is the failure to agree a budget with other coalition parties that brought about this decision. In particular, small religious parties are accused of refusing to agree on cuts to welfare programmes and government benefits. With Mr Netanyahu's high personal approval ratings, his Likud party is expected to improve on the 27 Knesset seats it took during the last election. But, even if he wins he will almost certainly have to form another coalition, given the proportional nature of Israel's voting system, our correspondent says.

In a new report, they say that business must act on pay and diversity to address a "worrying lack of trust" among the public. The Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee wants workers to have a say on pay. Committee chairman Iain Wright said recent scandals have exposed flaws. The report says faith in corporate governance has been shaken in the wake of scandals such as Sir Philip Green and the BHS pension fund. The MPs want tough new measures to bring boardrooms back into line. Mr Wright said: "Executive pay has been ratcheted up so high that it is impossible to see a credible link between remuneration and performance. "Pay must be reformed and simplified to incentivise decision-making for the long term success of the business and to pursue wider company objectives than share value." The committee has called for businesses to simplify the structure of executive pay and put an end to long-term incentive plans. Their recommendations include workers on the remuneration committees that decide executive pay, and for the chairs of these committees to be expected to resign if shareholders reject their proposed pay policy. The committee has also backed publishing pay ratios annually. Other recommendations include a target that at least half of all new appointments to senior management positions in the FTSE 350 and listed companies should be women, as well as a new voluntary code of governance for private companies. A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "As this report sets out, the UK is already a world-leader in corporate governance, which makes this country an attractive destination to invest and do business. "The corporate governance green paper published last year seeks to build on that reputation and consulted on options to further strengthen corporate governance." He said the department would consider responses to the MPs' report "respond in due course". The 18-year-old has been part of the London club's FA Youth Cup and Uefa Youth League-winning sides.

Ludlow sees the match as a chance for Wales' rising players to see "world-class talent" in the flesh. "That is the main reason why all our young international players are being asked to attend," she said. "We have a few events happening on the day to make sure they're at such an event, so they can hopefully aspire to be one of those players in the future." Recently crowned BBC Women's Footballer of 2017 Ada Hegerberg is among the big names who will be playing in Cardiff. Ludlow said: "We can talk as coaches and in the environment we have and we can give examples of the top-level players we have - the likes of Jess Fishlock, who's out in America now - and different girls who are playing in the Women's Super League. "But they never, for many of them, experience the live game and actually see their idols in front of them. "So it's going to be a one-off experience for many, but hopefully it will end up bringing through top-level players for us in the future." Former Wales Women striker Gwennan Harries has tipped Lyon to retain the title, saying: "They've got a little bit too much experience. They've been there before. "They've won it twice - they're going for the third one. They've got that big-game know-how so I can see them running out as winners." Harries also hopes female fans will be inspired to become involved in the sport in Wales.

Data released to BBC News reveals the areas of the UK where "who should I vote for" was the most popular request. There has also been a rise in searches for "register to vote" ahead of Monday's deadline. Politics expert Professor Colin Copus said people were researching their options. For more stories from the BBC England data unit follow our Pinterest board The data reveals "who should I vote for" was more popular in Willesborough in Kent than anywhere else between 9 May and Tuesday. The area comes under the Ashford constituency, which was last won by the Conservatives in 2015. Second on the list is Chorley in Lancashire, which was last won by Labour. Professor Copus, director of politics and public policy at De Montfort University, said: "Behind the glib question is some serious thought from voters going in to the general election. "It indicates that there will be large numbers of people across the country taking this very seriously and searching for different sources of information to help them make their choice. "It is not going to be people just asking to be told who to vote for on the basis of a lifestyle quiz." Google Trends combined variations of "who should I vote for", including "who should I vote for UK", "who should I vote for 2017" and "general election who should I vote for". It did not disclose raw numbers of searches, instead ranking the areas from where they originated. It assigned each of the 1,707 areas a number from 1 to 100, with 100 being where "who should I vote for" made up the largest share of all searches from that town.

The 61-year-old's aircraft came down on the runway at Caernarfon Airport at 18:00 BST on Thursday. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the man was taken to hospital with serious injuries but later died. A crew from Llanfairfechan attended but there have not been reports of a fire following the crash. The Air Accident Investigation Branch has been told. A spokesman at the Morfa Lodge caravan park next to the airport said he saw a fire engine, air ambulance and several police cars arrive at the airport following the crash. The airport is four miles (6.4 km) south west of Caernarfon and has a 937 metres (3,074 ft) main runway and is a base for the Wales Air Ambulance service. Long-term leaders Jonas Blixt and Cameron Smith took a four-shot lead into the final round of fourballs. But Kisner and Brown birdied 10 of the first 11 holes and Kisner then chipped in for an eagle at the last. Smith had to birdie the last to join them at 27 under and the four men will return for a sudden-death play-off. Australian world number 112 Smith holed from two feet for the closing birdie, but darkness following a delay of more than six hours because of thunderstorms at TPC Louisiana midway through the round meant the play-off could not take place on Sunday. Sweden's Blixt - the world number 256 - and Smith had led outright after the second and third rounds and did not drop a shot throughout the 72 holes, with each round in the revamped team format alternating between foursomes and fourballs. The final tee time was moved forward to 8:16am local time (14:16 BST) in an attempt to beat the predicted bad weather and despite the intense thunderstorm, it appeared the tournament - the first official PGA team event since 1981 - would be completed. But Kisner's 31-yard chip, close to 12 hours after his group had teed off, rattled the pin and dropped into the cup, meaning the players will return to the par-five 18th to begin the play-off at 9am local time (15:00 BST) on Monday. "Well, we knew we had to have it," Kisner said. "All I was trying to do was make sure I didn't leave it short, and I couldn't see much. I knew it was breaking a little right, and when it hit the flag, I said, 'Don't you come out of there.' "Someone had to get hot in order to catch us today, and they did," said Blixt, a two-time PGA Tour winner. "We just have to leave this behind and try to go out there and make birdie or eagle on 18 tomorrow and try and win this tournament," he added of the better-ball play-off. Americans Kelly Kraft and Kevin Tway were third after combining for a 61 that left them on 23 under.

He is one of 83 people, including director Mike Leigh and photographer Don McCullin, to oppose the move in a letter published in the Guardian. They say photography "needs a national home and a national identity". The Science Museum Group (SMG), which runs the NMM, say the move is part of a "change of focus" for the museum. In the letter, Bradford-born artist Hockney and his co-signatories say the "sudden and largely secret decision" to transfer the archive is "a backward step in our understanding of the importance of visual culture". It says: "Moving most of the museum's photography collection away from Yorkshire goes against government policy when the museum was opened - to put such facilities outside London. "Many of us who have been involved in the founding and development of the museum would welcome the opportunity to be involved in trying to solve whatever problems are being encountered in retaining the collection in a national home for photography - preferably in the north of England." The SMG announced plans to relocate the archive to the Victoria & Albert museum in February. The collection includes 270,000 images, 26,000 books and periodicals and 6,000 pieces of camera equipment. It said the move will help create "the world's foremost single collection" on the art of photography and help the media museum focus on science and technology. On Friday, it also revealed plans to change the museum's name in 2017, though it has not revealed the new name. Dame Mary Archer, chairwoman of the Science Museum Group, said the aim is to "improve the museum, put it on a sound footing, and to shift its emphasis towards inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers, while still celebrating the city's key role in film, photography and television". Its Policing and Crime Committee called for more transparency around implementation of the government's Prevent strategy. Cooperation between boroughs was "patchy" and the police needed to step back if the public were to have more confidence in the scheme, it found. The Met has been approached for comment. Under Prevent, which aims to stop people supporting or becoming terrorists, local authorities have a statutory obligation to monitor signs of extremism in schools and public services. But the committee said this was proving a "challenge" for teachers, and some young people were afraid to take part in discussions about extremism for fear of being "put on a list". "For the public, transparency about what Prevent is for and what activity is taking place is critical," it said. The committee echoed previous criticisms of Prevent, when it was dubbed a "toxic brand" which aroused suspicion among communities. "We know that community engagement is hampered by suspicion and fear, and much of this is the consequence of the secrecy that surrounds the delivery of the Prevent strategy." Committee chairwoman Joanne McCartney said "a strong counter-narrative which condemns violent extremism" was one of the most powerful ways to counter online radicalisation, "but attempts to deliver this have been lacking so far." Through social media, groups such as the so-called Islamic State (IS) were "telling a better story" in a fight where "narrative is actually almost everything", Lord Carlile of Berriew said. The committee said London could learn from Birmingham's success in co-ordinating Prevent. In the capital, Counter-Terror Local Profiles, which set out risk in a particular area, are highly confidential documents often only seen by a borough commander and council chief executive. In Birmingham and Manchester, the information is shared with public services "without giving away anything of national security importance". Communities in London should have a say in how best to prevent extremism, and the police should only intervene when necessary, according to the report. It criticises 'patchy' co-ordination between London boroughs. "There appears to be no London body that has overall oversight of what is taking place at any one time," it said. "It is difficult to establish what, why and how decisions have been taken in respect of preventing extremism." In some boroughs, such as Waltham Forest, the quality of work was "extremely high", Lord Carlile told the committee. In others, it was "rather less high".

Artist David Hockney has described plans to transfer up to 400,000 objects from Bradford's National Media Museum (NMM) to London as a "backward step". [NEXT_CONCEPT] Secrecy surrounding anti-terrorism work is hampering efforts to halt extremism, the London Assembly has said.

About 90,000 teachers were locked out after negotiations broke down and nearly 900,000 pupils have no classes. A teachers' union spokesman called the action "historic" for Denmark. Gordon Madsen told BBC News that the government and teachers' employers wanted teachers to spend more time in the classroom during the school day. The changes would mean younger children spending about two more hours in school daily and the oldest children three more hours, he said. Mr Madsen said the teachers' time for preparing lessons would be reduced under the reforms. The teachers are pushing for a cap of 25 hours a week spent teaching, so that it is clear what counts as overtime. The dispute affects children between the ages of six and 16. They are now spending their time at home with family members, or at their parents' workplaces or at youth clubs. "Teachers are protesting in the streets all over Denmark," Mr Madsen said. He accused the centre-left government of doing a deal on school reform with the local authority organisation KL, which pre-empted negotiations with the national teachers' union. "It's the first time all the teachers have been locked out. It's a threat to the Danish model," he said, explaining that traditionally in Scandinavia workplace conditions are negotiated directly between unions and the employers without government interference. Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt defended the plan to introduce longer hours in school, and said her government was not yet prepared to intervene in the dispute. "We cannot accept that an average of three or four children in each class never learn to write at a level that enables them to go on to further education," she said on Tuesday. Local police inspector Hemant Nimbalkar said the arrests were made after several video clips were shared online showing women being attacked by men. Police initially played down reports of sex attacks, saying they had received no official complaints. But after viewing CCTV police officials admitted there was "credible evidence". The attacks took place as a crowd of 10,000 gathered in the centre of the city to see in New Year on Saturday evening. Several women described being surrounded by mobs of men before being assaulted. One video showed two men on a motorbike attack a woman as she walked down a street. One woman, a marketing professional who asked to be identified only as Pooja, told the BBC that she was assaulted both in the bar and as she walked to meet a friend. Even when she formed a circle with another group of girls to try and walk to safety, "there were guys who were trying to touch here and there", she said. "There was not a single face you could make out or who was doing it," she said, pointing out how difficult it would be to file a complaint. "I felt helpless," she said. "Although I have hands and legs and I could abuse and slap them, I could not do anything. I didn't know who was touching me and groping me." Karnataka State Home Minister G Parameshwara caused widespread anger when he blamed young women for "copying the Westerners, not only in their mindset, but even in their dressing". "These kind of things do happen," he said. National Commission for Women chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam called for Mr Parameshwara to apologise and resign.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 303.31 points to close at 21,115.55 following US President Donald Trump's address to Congress last night. The S&P 500 index gained 32.32 points, rising to 2,395.96, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index was up 78.59 points at 5,904.03. Shares have been climbing since Mr Trump's election victory after investor optimism about deregulation. He has also promised to cut taxes and boost infrastructure spending. Financial firms were the top gainers on the Dow, with JP Morgan Chase and American Express both up more than 2.3%. Tom Stevenson from Fidelity International said the Dow Jones Index only cleared 20,000 points three weeks ago, making this the fastest rise between 1,000 milestones since 1999. Sentiment was helped by comments suggesting that the US central bank may raise rates sooner rather than later. A rate hike in March would make it more expensive to borrow money to buy stocks, but it would also signal the Fed's confidence in economic expansion after stagnation. "It's not necessarily the rate increase that matters. It's that they're seeing things improving. If the Fed feels more confident, maybe we should too," said Warren West, principal at Greentree Brokerage Services in Philadelphia. Non Stanford and Vicky Holland had already qualified for Rio and Stanford's Welsh team-mate Jenkins is expected to complete the women's squad. They were competing for a last spot but Stimpson admits she has not made it. "I would like to personally congratulate both Helen and her coach Marc on selection," said Stimpson. "And wish them both a successful training block until the Games." British triathlon are expected to confirm Jenkins as their nomination for to compete for Team GB at Rio in August.

But the 27-year-old conceded in a blog on her personal website: "'We regret to inform you that you have not been selected to represent Team GBR in the Rio Olympic Games'. "This was the hardest email I have ever had to read in my triathlon career so far. Not because it wasn't what I was expecting - I knew after my performance on the Gold Coast that I wouldn't be going to the Games but it is hard to read, and hard to digest." Stimpson will compete alongside 2013 world champion Stanford in the latest ITU World Triathlon Series event in Cape Town on Sunday while Jenkins will sit it out as the 32-year-old continues her Olympic preparation. "The Gold Coast race itself, I went in ranked number one based on the Abu Dhabi result," continued Stimpson. "I felt fine before the race, yes swimming was a doubt of how I would fair, but this is mainly because my team mates are so good in the pool. I was hoping for the best, dived in and felt flat. "Helen had the most amazing race, she raced tactically, and won in style. What a great way to gain an Olympic spot. "Team GBR are sending three amazingly strong women to Rio, Non, Helen and Vicky all deserve to be on that start line.

Guy Hedger, 61, died in hospital after he was shot by intruders who entered a house in St Ives, near Ringwood, Dorset, just after 03:00 BST on Sunday. Detectives have launched a murder investigation. They said a second person in the property at the time was "deeply affected by the incident" and is being supported by specially-trained officers. Mr Hedger's next-of-kin are aware, a Dorset Police spokesman added. Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire said police do not believe Mr Hedger was known to the intruders, although all lines of inquiry are being pursued. She said: "At this stage we are still trying to establish exactly what happened at the address and how and why the victim was shot dead. "I am appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the area, or was in the area at that time, to contact Dorset Police as soon as possible. "There will be a heavy police presence in the vicinity and officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be carrying out high-visibility patrols to offer reassurance to the community. They can be contacted with any concerns." The report looked at 85 stillbirths in detail and found care could have been better in at least two-thirds of cases. In some cases, mothers were not offered the right tests, despite concerns their babies had stopped moving. Experts said it was disappointing the areas of concern remained the same as those in a similar report 15 years ago. There are more than 3,600 stillbirths every year in the UK - and despite improvements over the past few years, the rate remains one of the highest across Europe. The inquiry, led by the University of Leicester, focused on stillbirths that happened at full term and had no congenital abnormalities. These make up about a third of all cases. In almost half of the cases, women had contacted their maternity units concerned their babies' movements had slowed, changed or stopped. But in 50% of these instances, there had been "missed opportunities to potentially save the baby". For example, investigations had not always been offered when appropriate, or when babies' heart rates had been monitored, traces had sometimes been misinterpreted by staff. Many women at a higher risk of stillbirth - such as those at risk of diabetes - had not been checked properly or closely monitored. And in some cases staff had not acted even when it had been clear the foetus had failed to grow as expected. Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Dr David Richmond said: "Although fewer babies in the UK are stillborn today, it's desperately disappointing that the four recommendations from this report remain exactly the same as when the last confidential enquiry took place 15 years ago. "Today's report suggests six in 10 of these stillbirths are potentially avoidable. "We can and should do better by the 1,000 families affected by stillbirths that occur before a woman goes into labour each year in the UK." Elizabeth Hutton, chief executive of the Count the Kicks charity, said: "Many women who contact us think their babies could have been saved if basic guidelines had been followed and they often feel that they are not always taken seriously when they contact a healthcare professional with worries about reduced movement." But Prof Jenny Kurinczuk, one of the lead members of the panel, said there was no clear magic bullet in this situation. She added: "We have to prevent stillbirths one by one to ensure that as a nation we are able to reduce our stillbirth rate to those rates experienced by our European neighbours." Separately, the report praised examples of "excellent" bereavement care, where midwives provided long-term support for families "in a way that surpassed normal expectations." The inquiry was conducted by a team of academics, clinicians and charity representatives called MBRRACE-UK and looked at cases that took place in 2013. Last week the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, announced plans to reduce the stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths in England by 50% by 2030.

Luis Garcia del Moral and Michele Ferrari worked with the American during his seven-year Tour de France reign. Permanently banning these individuals from sport is a powerful statement Trainer Jose "Pepe" Marti worked with the rider's US Postal Service team. USADA announced the punishments on Tuesday, the day after a deadline had passed for the trio to either accept or challenge the sanctions. The two other alleged conspirators, another doctor Pedro Celaya and former team boss Johann Bruyneel, have either requested a five-day extension to respond to the charges or asked for a full arbitration hearing to begin. Armstrong has been accused of violating anti-doping rules during his time with USPS and has until Saturday to either accept the charges or agree for the case to go to arbitration. If found guilty, Armstrong faces a lifetime ban and being stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles. Lawyers for the 40-year-old are attempting to persuade a federal court in Texas to block the doping case from proceeding, but that process hit a setback this week when US District Judge Sam Sparks dismissed the case. The three men named on Tuesday have been sanctioned for possessing, trafficking and administering doping products, and being involved in the cover-up of their use. Marti worked as a trainer for the USPS and Discovery Channel Cycling Teams during the period from 1999 through 2007. Before then, Dr del Moral was team physician for the USPS Cycling Team from 1999 through 2003, with Dr Ferrari a consulting doctor for the same team between 1999 and 2006. The USADA said in a statement: "Permanently banning these individuals from sport is a powerful statement that protects the current and next generation of athletes from their influence, and preserves the integrity of future competition." It will see the town host a range of concerts, comedy and community activities over three days. Among the acts involved are Big Country, the Mull Historical Society and Fred MacAulay. The festival also hopes to see some 5,000 people served up a haggis meal over the weekend. Earlier this week, MSPs paid tribute to the success of the festival, first held in the town in 2012. The event says it is about "coming together to celebrate with your friends, pals and visitors" without the need for a degree in Scottish literature. Among the attractions this year are a Burlesque Burns Supper, Homecoming Carnival and a Midnight Roller Disco. Some of the events will be staged in the Spiegeltent venue which has been put in place on the town's Newall Terrace.

They reported several casualties and scores of injured people. They also said at least 24 people had been killed in similar attacks on Saturday. Aleppo has been divided for years between rebel groups and government forces. The northern city has borne the brunt of deadly bombardments despite a ceasefire that was agreed in February. What is left after five years of war? Islamic State crisis in seven charts One of the Higher English papers was replaced weeks before the exam amid concerns it may have been leaked. A teacher involved in setting the paper may have given their students too much information, BBC Scotland understands. The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) said it was carrying out a full investigation. It compiled a replacement paper as a precaution. The replacement was sent to schools and exam centres a week before the exam earlier this month. It was compiled much more quickly than usual to meet the urgent deadline. The SQA gave little information about the specific circumstances which led to the emergency. The exams body said "unusual" and external" circumstances were to blame. But BBC Scotland understands the focus is on a teacher who played a part in setting the original paper. It is alleged the teacher suggested to students what topics might come up in the exam and the kind of answers they could give. The concern was these students could have been unfairly advantaged or may have spread the information - either personally or on social media. A spokesperson for SQA said: "We are continuing to conduct a detailed review of the circumstances around this year's Higher English examination and it would be inappropriate to comment further until that process has been completed." There is no suggestion that any member of SQA staff, nor any external contractor such as the printers, acted irresponsibly. Nor is there any suggestion that anybody at either the school concerned, or any other school, who had responsibility for looking after the exam papers, was in the wrong. The issue was a concern that the content of the exam - as opposed to the paper itself - could have become known to candidates. BBC Scotland revealed two days before the exam a replacement for one of the two papers had been sent out the week before. The problem had come to the SQA's attention a few weeks earlier. Although the new paper had to be compiled quickly, the organisation said it always produces more material than is actually needed. Generally, one person at each school or exam centre takes responsibility for all the exam papers and makes sure they are safely and securely stored until they are needed. Teachers do not get to see exams beforehand.

The Norway-listed company said it had bought a site at Barcaldine near Oban for the facility. Planning permission is still required for the project, but the company hopes the hatchery will be up and running in 2019. The move is expected to create up to 25 permanent skilled jobs. SSF said the investment was part of plans to invest a total of £70m in improving and maintaining its existing sites and acquiring new ones over the next few years. The new land-based freshwater facility at Barcaldine will be used to rear young salmon, or smolts, in "bio-secure and environmentally friendly conditions". SSF, which is owned by SalMar and the Leroy Seafood Group of Norway, said it would embark on a consultation with the local community over its plans. The company said the new facility would raise its annual production of smolts from five million to 11 million. SSF managing director Jim Gallagher said: "We have ambitious plans for sustainably growing the volumes of salmon we produce to meet increased demand across the world for premium Scottish salmon. "As part of this, we have been evaluating locations around Scotland to build and develop our freshwater business, and I am delighted that we have found a site that offers an ideal location providing everything we want in terms of power supply, freshwater and connection to the sea. "As a result of this investment, Argyll will benefit from high-quality jobs and training opportunities which will include disciplines such as fish husbandry, bio-chemistry and engineering." Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing welcomed the news. He said: "It demonstrates long-term confidence in the future of the farmed salmon sector in Scotland and reinforces our reputation as a great place to do business. "Scotland's world class fish farming sector generates £1.86bn of economic activity every year and supports 8,300 jobs, playing a pivotal role in the rural communities, such as those in the Oban area, where the industry operates. "Today's announcement also underlines Scottish aquaculture's excellent potential - aided by cutting edge technology and innovation - for further sustainable growth." The men aged 32 and 56 were detained on Wednesday following searches at premises in north Belfast and Templepatrick. The arrests are part of an investigation into the importation and supply of Class A and B drugs into Northern Ireland. Cash and ammunition was also recovered. Det Insp Trevor Stevenson, said: "This is a proactive investigation into the importation and supply of Class A and B drugs into Northern Ireland from England and Europe." "We are delighted to have seized almost £90,000 worth of drugs and taken a significant quantity of firearms and ammunition out of circulation. "We believe those involved are members of an organised crime group as opposed to having any paramilitary or terrorist links but the threat posed by the drugs and the weapons should not be underestimated. "Their removal has made our streets safer today. The suspects are being interviewed at a police station in Belfast and our enquiries are continuing," he added. During the searches, police uncovered: • Suspected cocaine worth £60,000 • Cannabis worth £20,000 • Cannabis plants worth almost £10,000 • Suspected firearms and ammunition • A replica firearm and ammunition • Cash and financial documentation • Drugs paraphernalia including cutting agent, mixer, moulds, presses and plastic bags The searches and arrests are not related to the ongoing major international drugs trafficking operation.

Love letters between Gilbert Bradley and Gordon Bowsher, written in a time when homosexuality was illegal, came to light after Mr Bradley's death in 2008. At that time armed force members could have been be shot for having gay sex. A Shropshire museum displaying the letters has been contacted by hundreds of people including film producers. See more on this story Mark Hignett, a volunteer at Oswestry Town Museum and who bought the letters off eBay, said the forbidden romance has received a huge amount of interest including producers, publishers and playwrights. More quirky projects inspired by the story include a choral group who want to put the letters to music, and a student who wants to base a clothing range on the letters, Mr Hignett said. He expects further interest following an upcoming heritage project. Heritage Open Days have organised letter writing workshops after which letters will be burned in a memorial fire. The ashes will then be transformed into a commemorative diamond. Annie Reilly, Director of Heritage Open Days, said the jewel will be "a commemoration of this love which had to really fight against the odds to exist." It will be inscribed with a paraphrased line from one of the letters: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are." The letters are highly unusual, but the museum's collection numbers almost 600.

The Transocean Winner drilling rig ran aground on Lewis two weeks ago. It has now arrived at Broad Bay after being refloated and towed from the other side of the island. Salvage experts said the operation had gone smoothly despite concern about further spillages of fuel from the damaged rig. Two tug boats pulled the rig on a 54-mile journey to Broad Bay where experts will assess the damage. The journey has taken longer than initially estimated with a travelling speed of 1-1.5 knots (1.15-1.72mph). The Maritime & Coastguard Agency has been conducting counter pollution flyover checks in the area to examine the water for any sign of discharge, sheen or pollution from the rig. There was no pollution reported in the Dalmore Bay area, but a slight sheen was detected as the aircraft continued to follow the path of the rig. The sheen is said to be associated with the ongoing pressurisation of tanks to maintain the rig's stability, but a Brigg's Marine and Environmental Services team is accompanying the tow and assisting by "breaking up the light sheen". A temporary exclusion zone remains in place at Dalmore Bay, where the rig initially ran aground, until the seabed has been checked for any debris or environmental impact. Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for maritime salvage and intervention, said: "We are taking advantage of the favourable weather conditions following this big step forward, and we will continue to closely monitor the rig whilst it is under tow. "Once everything is declared safe, I will be looking at releasing the exclusion zone in Dalmore Bay. "I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the Western Isles Council and community for their patience and their gracious hospitality during this challenging and disruptive period. "This salvage operation has required the united cooperation from so many different organisations who have spared no effort to ensure that this rig reaches safer waters." Eight anchors are being laid out in Broad Bay to hold the rig in place when it arrives. Transocean will then begin the assessment process - which includes putting divers in the water - to look at the damage the rig has suffered; a process which could take until the middle of September. The semi-submersible structure was blown ashore at Dalmore during a towing operation on Monday 8 August. The towline between the rig and its tug was lost en route from Norway to Malta amid high winds and heavy seas in the early hours that day.

The device, which was packed with shrapnel, went off as a police convoy was driving through the southern neighbourhood of Quiroga. It is not yet clear who may be behind the attack. Small-scale explosions are not unusual in the capital, but this device seems more complex than previous ones. Bogota's police commander, Humberto Guatibonza, said the attack had been aimed at his officers. "These rats attacked the police as they were going about their duties," he said. The Colombian police force regularly comes under attack from the main rebel groups, the National Liberation Army and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc). But these attacks occur mainly in rebel strongholds on the border with Venezuela and in rural areas of Cauca province. They have also diminished since the Farc declared a unilateral ceasefire as part of the peace negotiations they are holding with the Colombian government. The authorities offered a reward for information leading to the authors of the attack. Indeed, central London's St James's Park recorded 44.4mm of rain in just a few hours through the early part of the morning. The greatest official rainfall total during this spell of severe weather was recorded just to the south west of London, where South Farnborough in Hampshire recorded 45.6mm. To put these amounts in context, in an average June, the county of Hampshire would expect to record around 53mm of rain and central London a similar value. So on a local level, some areas received the best part of a month's rainfall in just a few hours. This is by no means the first instance of heavy localised rain so far this month either - with weather stations across Surrey, Nottinghamshire and parts of the West Midlands receiving similar rainfall totals over a similar duration only last week. But how do the rainfall statistics on a UK-wide scale shape up so far this June? Well, in contrast to events seen locally across different parts of the UK in the last few days, on a national scale, June has only been slightly wetter than we would usually expect. This might seem difficult to believe if you have been unfortunate enough to have been caught in a torrential downpour. The reason the national rainfall picture is so skewed towards around about average is that the rainfall that has occurred so far this June has been very localised, in the form of heavy, thundery (and what meteorologists refer to as) convective activity. The month actually started on a fairly dry note. Western Scotland, Northern Ireland and west Wales saw temperatures climb well into the mid to high 20s, and those warm conditions were mimicked across the south of the UK at other times in the early part of the month. From around the second week of June onwards, the weather turned far more unsettled. For the past couple of weeks, low pressure systems have often lingered over parts of the UK. These slow moving low pressure systems and troughs tend to distribute any rainfall in a haphazard fashion across the land, in contrast to the organised bands of rain that tend to sweep in from the Atlantic and deposit rain more evenly. The random distribution of showers is best reflected in the way that some parts of the Midlands and south-east England have seen around twice as much as the June average rainfall already, with western Scotland and the northern Isles having a meagre 20 to 30% of their June average rainfall so far this month. When we average these regional fluctuations out, we arrive at the conclusion that, so far this month, rainfall has been just that - pretty average.

Place admitted causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He will be sentenced on 20 March. The court heard Poppy-Arabella's parents are unable to have any more children, which made them thankful for every second they had spent with her. They said Place had so far shown them no remorse. An all-Wales policing plan will be launched to give the public a say. Labour has also pledged "fair funding" for Wales, claiming the Conservatives have cut the Welsh budget by £1.5bn. Opposition parties accused Labour of failing to come up with a credible economic plan, with continued cuts or higher borrowing than necessary. Labour leader Ed Miliband said his party will "change the way the country is run and who it is run for" at the manifesto launch in Manchester on Monday, promising its policies would require no extra borrowing. On powers for Wales, Labour said it was following the recommendations on further devolution by the Silk Commission, which had been set up by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. They also said that, as in Scotland, all powers will be considered devolved to Wales unless specifically reserved. Responding for the Conservatives, Chancellor George Osborne said: "Today Ed Miliband failed to provide a credible economic plan and nobody will be fooled", claiming a deficit every year would result in "more borrowing, more debt and higher taxes". Jenny Willott of the Liberal Democrats said: "By failing to set a clear timetable for when they plan to finish the job of balancing the books, Labour is playing Russian roulette with Britain's economy." She added: "Whichever way they dress it up, their plans would mean borrowing £70bn more than is necessary and would drag austerity out for years to come." Plaid Cymru candidate Harri Roberts criticised Labour's promise of a "budget responsibility lock", with no new borrowing to pay for its policies. "With this manifesto, the Labour party locks the door to economic recovery in Wales and other less advantaged parts of the UK," he said. UKIP's leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, said: "At every opportunity Labour have opposed any cuts to public services, but criticised government borrowing. "In their 13 years in power they doubled the national debt, yet they criticise the coalition for doing the same. Neither Labour or the Conservatives can be trusted with the economy." Meanwhile, comedian Eddie Izzard hit the campaign trail for Labour in Cardiff, saying the party was promoting "fairness".

Conservative MP Mr Javid tweeted: "No signal @O2. Please sort it out." People in Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and parts of Northern Ireland have reported issues. O2 said it was aware of "isolated instances" of intermittent service across the UK, and it was investigating the situation. The company has responded to complaints on Twitter by advising people to reset their device, and visit its support page if problems persisted. O2's online network status checker said phone masts were currently not working in several areas, including London. Many O2 customers took to social media to complain of not being able to send and receive calls and text messages, as well as problems with 3G internet signal. Craig Newrick, who lives in Lowestoft, Suffolk said: "I have contacted O2 and got told to switch my device on and off again. It is really not good enough. "What am I paying for?" Others complained that the response to customers' complaints from O2 had been inadequate. Aaron Nelson tweeted: "The impersonal, predictable and robotic style of responses from @O2's Twitter is an embarrassment. Still learning the internet?" 02 spokesperson said: "We are aware of isolated instances across the UK where some O2 customers are currently experiencing intermittent service. "We are investigating the situation and will update as soon as possible." Deakon Wilkins, 24, from Weston-super-Mare, vanished after leaving Motion nightclub in Bristol in the early hours of 14 January. The footage shows a man, who the police believe to be Mr Wilkins, walking along Cattle Market Road at 04:43 GMT. Police said the search was "intensive" with a "thorough examination of the city centre both on land and in water". Det Insp Steve Cartlidge from Avon and Somerset Police said: "Our search for Deakon continues and we will do everything we can to find him." He asked for anyone who may have driven or cycled down Cattle Market Road early on 14 January to contact them. He said: "Did you see a man walking along the road or anything unusual? We're still keen on speaking to anyone who was in the Temple Meads area and saw Deakon and who hasn't already made contact with us to get in touch." Mr Wilkins is described as 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall, of medium build with ginger hair and a tattoo between his neck and chest that says "Rush". When last seen he was wearing a red fitted jumper, black blazer, dark jeans and red trainers.

The 27-year-old, who had his leg amputated below the knee after a wakeboarding accident, jumped 8.40m to break his previous best by 11cm. Briton Greg Rutherford took Olympic gold in 2012 with a jump of 8.31. Media playback is not supported on this device Britain's team captain Paul Blake, 25, won silver in the T36 400m on Friday. After his record-breaking leap, Rehm told BBC Sport: "To jump 8.40 is incredible." Rehm wants the chance to appear at next year's Olympics in Rio but athletics's governing body, the IAAF, has yet to confirm whether he can compete. The reigning Paralympic champion won last year's German National Championships, but was prevented from competing at the European Championships in Zurich because of concerns over whether his carbon fibre prosthetic gives him an unfair advantage. The German Athletics Federation said then they had doubts over whether jumps with a prosthetic limb could be compared to those using a natural joint, while experts have questioned whether the blade gives Rehm an advantage when he plants it down at the point of take-off. But Rehm, who was inundated for interviews after his victory in Doha, wants the opportunity to compete on a bigger stage. "It is a shame that the IAAF just see the problems and reduce an athlete to the prosthesis," he said. "They don't see the chance we have to bring Paralympic and Olympic sport closer and to show our sport to more people. "I hope in the future I will have a chance to discuss how we can do this. I think it is a good chance for a great advert for the sport and I want to show people there are great athletes here." Britain's Blake, meanwhile, won silver after finishing second to Russian Yevgeny Shvetcov in the T36 400m. "It was a tough race but Shvetcov was stronger on the day," Blake, 25, said afterwards. "I ran as well as I could have done on the day. Maybe I could have gone off a bit quicker but if I had done that, I could have tired earlier. But this silver gives me a lot of confidence for the 800m, which is my favourite event." Six-time Paralympic champion David Weir returned to the track in a GB vest for the first time since London 2012 and finished second in the opening heat to safely book his place in the T54 1500m final. Meanwhile, British teenager Maria Lyle reached the T35 200m final, but saw fellow teenager Isis Holt of Australia set a new world record of 28.55 seconds in the event. Bale, 26, has missed Real Madrid's last three games with a calf injury but is set to return for the Madrid derby against Atletico on Sunday, 4 October.

"They're going to be the defining two games and we're looking forward to them, and to have Gareth there is a massive boost." Bale has posted a video on social media of himself training and tweeted: "Stepping up the recovery now." The former Tottenham player limped out of Real's 4-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk on 16 September and a scan later confirmed the injury.

State run media said Thursday's exercise was also aimed at forcing internet data centres to hand over contact details of website owners. China already operates a strict internet censorship regime. Analysts say it appears to be tightening controls ahead of an important political meeting later this year. Beijing also recently began cracking down on VPNs (virtual private networks) which allow internet users to circumvent censorship and surveillance. Thursday's exercise involved officers from the internet surveillance department at the public security ministry contacting internet data centres and asking them to target websites that host content deemed harmful, state media said. The centres were asked to practise shutting down targeted web pages quickly and to report details of their owners to the police. The BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing says that over a two-and-a-half hour period the drill reportedly shut down a number of sites. At least four participants confirmed the drill, including the operator of Microsoft's cloud service in China, Reuters reported. A document circulating online and attributed to a cyber police unit said the drill had been held "in order to step up online security for the 19th Party Congress and tackle the problem of smaller websites illegally disseminating harmful information". The Communist Party Congress, a key political gathering held once every five years, is to be held in the autumn. China has a rapidly growing online population and many users have found ways to poke holes in the country's infamous "great firewall". Apple recently removed several VPNs from its app store in China, saying it was legally required to do so because they did not comply with new regulations. VPNs allow users to funnel internet access through another computer - often one in a different country - hiding their IP (internet protocol) addresses and allowing them to access websites censored or blocked by their service providers. Beijing blocks some social media sites and apps, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Search engines such as Google are also blocked and access to many foreign media outlets, including the BBC, is restricted. The arrests were made as part of an investigation by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command and MI5. Scotland Yard said the arrests were "linked to activity in the UK". The men, aged between 18 and 27, were arrested at their homes and are in custody. A further five residential addresses in east London will also be searched.

Joseph Eke, 22, kicked and punched two-year-old Harry House at the family home in Broadmayne, Dorset, last May, while Harry's mother was out. He was also convicted of grievous bodily harm but cleared of a charge of unlawful wounding following a trial at Winchester Crown Court. Eke was a heroin addict and had also attacked the mother for refusing to give him drugs money, the court heard. Harry died as a result of a blunt-force impact to the abdomen that split his pancreas in two. A post-mortem examination showed he had a "potentially fatal" fractured skull. The trial heard Harry's mother, Lauren O'Neill, had nipped to a local shop at 09:27 BST on 26 May 2016. When she returned her son was turning "very white", his lips started turning blue and he became "very droopy". But when Miss O'Neill called for an ambulance, Eke told her not to, claiming Harry had food poisoning. Paramedics tried to save Harry but he died in hospital in Dorchester at 11:00. The court was told Eke had helped with Harry's childcare and the boy called him "Daddy Joe Joe". Speaking after the verdict, Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire, of Dorset Police, said Harry's family were "relieved and thankful" following the verdict. "We've worked tireless piecing together the evidence, working with specialists with the medical profession until ultimately we've achieved justice today. "It's been incredibly difficult for the family with the loss of a beautiful two-year-old toddler who had the rest of his life to lead. The loss and the grieving and police investigation and court case, but today's verdict has I hope made them feel more content." He is due to be sentenced on 5 June. Elliot Rodger, 22, stabbed three male room-mates and shot three people in a rampage that ended with his own death. Shortly before the attacks, he posted a video on YouTube railing against women. He is also reported to have posted similar sentiments on online forums.

The hashtag was used by more than 250,000 people in less than 24 hours. By 26 May it had been tweeted 1.2m times and had and 1.2bn impressions, according to hashtag.org. Some social media users sparked anger by appearing to sympathise with Rodger's bitterness at being rejected. In response, other users started commenting on the treatment and experiences of women. Many highlighted everyday scenarios that they said showed discrimination and abuse. Some users took to Twitter to express support. But many complained that they had been targeted by internet "trolls" for expressing their views.

The dictator was pictured making a Nazi salute and wearing a Swastika armband. Kruidvat, the Dutch drugstore chain stocking it, said they "deeply regretted the incident" and immediately withdrew the product. The book was produced in India and it is remains unclear why Hitler was included. "My suspicion is that the man who created the colouring book got a book of famous people out of the closet and selected a pair, which unfortunately included Adolf Hitler.

A team from Newcastle University decided to test the theory that people behave better when they think they are being watched. For two years they studied crime rates at campus racks and found a drop of 62% at those which displayed eye posters. The crime-fighting idea is now being tested at various train stations by British Transport Police (BTP). For the first year the Newcastle team monitored bike thefts from all racks across campus for a control figure, then placed the eye signs in three locations, leaving the rest of the racks without signs. The idea for the research was inspired by a 2010 study which showed diners in a canteen were more likely to clear away their tray when there were eyes watching them. Academics found that bike racks which had eyes placed above them experienced 62% fewer thefts than the previous year, while those without eyes saw thefts increase by 63%. Lead researcher Prof Daniel Nettle, said: "We don't know exactly what is happening here but this just adds to the growing evidence that images of eyes can have a big impact on behaviour. "We think that the presence of eye images can encourage co-operative behaviour. One strong possibility is that the images of eyes work by making people feel watched. "We care what other people think about us, and as a result we behave better when we feel we are being observed." Barry Sharp, from BTP's London North Area Crime Team, said: "Research shows that this sign has had some promising results at Newcastle University. "We are always looking at new ways to tackle cycle theft at rail stations." The findings have been published in the journal PLoS ONE.

The average home in Westminster, London cost 24 times more than a typical gross annual salary in England and Wales, the Office for National Statistics said. At the other end of the scale, the average property price in Blaenau Gwent in Wales was only four times greater than the average salary. This gap has widened since 2007, the figures show. House price rises in the most expensive 10% of areas of England and Wales have outstripped growth for the least expensive 10% of areas. "Westminster and other exclusive central areas of the capital have long been unaffordable for the majority of us," said Peter Rollings, chief executive of Marsh & Parsons estate agents. "Investors have always been the highest stake players in these areas of London, and our latest research shows they have only strengthened their hand recently. "Taxation at the top-end of the property market deters some domestic buyers from sitting at the table. London as a city thrives on foreign investment and being open to global business." The ONS said that in 2014 - the latest figures available - the value of the least expensive homes had not returned to pre-recession levels. This left some owners at risk of being left in negative equity. These areas suffered a "double dip" in 2011, when average house prices decreased again whilst prices in the most expensive 10% of areas continued to recover. The typical home in England and Wales, based on a median average, was valued at £194,955 last year. The gap between the property ownership "haves and have nots" was most clearly shown in Westminster. While prices rose, and homes became less affordable to buy, the amount of rent paid to private landlords in Westminster typically took up 78% of an average salary in England and Wales in 2014. This made it the least affordable area for private tenants as a result. In contrast, tenants in Copeland, Cumbria, typically spent 22% of an average salary on rent, the lowest rate in England and Wales. The figures show that rent for social housing took up a larger percentage of residents' earnings in England and Wales in 2014 than in 2002. Many commentators have suggested that building more homes in certain areas will help to tackle the affordability issue. The ONS said that house building had not recovered to the 150,000 or more completed new homes a year that were built before the recession. During the latter half of the 1960s more than 300,000 new homes were built every year. Campbell Robb, chief executive of charity Shelter, said: "Millions of people who simply want a home of their own in a place where they can find work and take care of their families, are instead finding themselves priced out and stuck in a lifetime of unstable and expensive private renting. "If the government does not refocus its plans and urgently start building homes ordinary people can actually afford to buy or rent, millions of young people and families will continue to pay the price." "We're with Corbyn" adorned beaches across the county on Sunday as part of a project by artist Stacey Guthrie. The display follows a host of resignations from Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet and a motion of no confidence passed by 172 to 40 Labour MPs. Ms Guthrie said she had been "overwhelmed" by the response. "We only put the action out about two days ago... there has been between 120 and 150 people," Ms Guthrie said. She said she was inspired by a call to action by the grassroots Labour organisation Momentum to show support for Mr Corbyn. She added: "The words will wash away, but the message won't." Reece Allen, also 24, was discovered with multiple wounds outside an address in West Avenue, North Shields, in the early hours of Monday.

In a joint statement, the two sides said they had reached agreement on a bilateral ceasefire and how disarmament would take place. The details will be made public on Thursday. On Monday, the Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said a final peace deal could be signed by 20 July. The final deal will end five decades of armed conflict in which an estimated 220,000 people have been killed and almost seven million displaced. What Colombians say about the peace process What is at stake in the Colombian peace process? Speaking in Havana, where peace talks have been taking place for more than three years, Colombian government spokeswoman Marcela Duran outlined what had been agreed. "The national government and Farc delegations inform the public that we have successfully agreed a definitive and bilateral ceasefire, the laying down of arms, security guarantees and the fight against organised crime units." Farc commander Carlos Lozada wrote on Twitter: "So that this horrible night may end and the path of peace and light may open, on Thursday 23 June we will announce #thefinaldayofthewar." The agreement on the bilateral ceasefire resolves one of the final points of the peace talks and leaves only one other issue to be resolved. The negotiators have overcome one of the biggest hurdles on the road towards a final peace deal. They had already agreed on rural reform; tackling the illicit drugs trade; the rebels' political participation; and how crimes committed during the conflict would be dealt with. In this latest agreement, the two sides have committed themselves to stop using their weapons for good by entering into a permanent verifiable bilateral ceasefire. It comes almost a year after the Farc declared a unilateral ceasefire, which resulted in a significant drop in levels of violence. That move was followed by the government halting air raids on rebel camps and a de-escalation of offensive action by the security forces. This latest agreement goes further as it will result in the disarmament of the Farc, who will now have to trust state forces to protect them from their enemies, of which they have many in Colombia. Both sides still need to establish how the peace deal in its totality will be implemented, verified and approved. The governments wants to put the deal to a popular vote so that the Colombian people can have their say. Farc negotiators have said they would prefer to call a constitutional convention to incorporate the deal into Colombia's constitution. The meeting on Thursday will be chaired by President Santos and the leader of the Farc, Timoleon Jimenez. They will be joined by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Cuban leader Raul Castro and the Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende, who are representing guarantor countries. The presidents of Chile, Michele Bachelet, and of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, will also be there as well as representatives from the US, the European Union and the presidents of El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. The blaze started at the ICL UK Boulby mine in East Cleveland at 00:30 BST on Wednesday. The workers, who were 1,100m (3,600 ft) under the sea bed and five miles (8km) from land, were treated for smoke inhalation and later discharged. Polystyrene blocks are believed to have caught fire in the mine. More than 100 staff were underground at the time, 11 of whom were temporarily unaccounted for, a spokesman for the mine said. John Chilton, who has worked as a miner for 29 years and is a representative for Unite union, said an underground fire was "the biggest fear for any miner". "People are very shaken, but miners are a very strong community and we are gathering together," he said. The fire was extinguished and HM Inspectorate of Mines said a full investigation into the incident would be carried out. Mining operations at the site have been temporarily suspended. One of Europe's deepest mines, the site employs about 1,100 people. Last year, the company announced it was shedding hundreds of jobs as part of a "new business strategy" to produce fertiliser polysulphate. Calum Melville, a director of Dundee Football Club, was head of the offshore division of marine safety company Cosalt. Mr Melville has resigned as a director of the company. Cosalt said in a statement it did not believe there had been any illegal activity.

The 71-year-old was arrested on Saturday, four days after a man was found with lacerations to his head at a house in the town. Malcolm Cox, 84, from Bell Road, was discovered just before 08:30 GMT on Tuesday. He was taken to the North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke and died the following day. A 38-year-old woman from Andover was also arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail. Tony Gallagher told the BBC he was "completely confident" that the report and its headline reflected her views. Buckingham Palace complained to the press watchdog on Wednesday about the article, which was headlined "Queen backs Brexit". The palace has insisted the Queen is "politically neutral". The Sun quoted anonymous sources, one of whom claimed to have witnessed a "bust-up" between the Queen and pro-EU former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in 2011. Mr Clegg has said he could not remember any such incident and called the story "nonsense". The UK is due to hold an in/out referendum on its membership of the EU on 23 June. All you need to know about the EU referendum UK and the EU - better off out or in? Mr Gallagher told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was "not my fault" if the Sun had published an "inconvenient" story. He said the paper's duty was to its readers, "not the elite who might be upset at what we've written". Asked if the headline "Queen backs Brexit" had been overwritten, he replied: "Absolutely not." "We knew much more than we published." When it was put to him that the Queen's alleged remarks had been made before it was known there would be a referendum, Mr Gallagher said this was "semantics". By Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent Tony Gallagher's was a robust defence, which offered the possibility the Sun has more information to bolster the claim that it's a Eurosceptic Queen that reigns over us. Any future revelations won't alter the complaint sitting in the press watchdog's in-tray. "Queen backs Brexit" was a headline that stuck in the monarchical craw. It wasn't supported, as far as the palace is concerned, by any of the quotes in the Sun article. Before the Queen was in its sights, the tabloid had criticised Prince William for being work shy - an accusation echoed in other newspapers. It's led some to question whether this signals the start of a shift in how the papers portray the royals. The reality is more likely to be that recent coverage serves as a reminder of the media's complex relationship with the Windsors - a family which over time has been both praised and pilloried in print. Read more from Peter Leader of the House of Commons Chris Grayling, who wants Britain to leave the EU, told Today that conversations with the Queen were "always to be kept private". The Sun's report said the Queen's exchange with Mr Clegg left "no room for doubt about her passionate feelings over Europe" and "stunned other guests". The paper said the Queen also revealed her feelings about Europe during a separate conversation with MPs at Buckingham Palace "a few years ago", allegedly speaking the words "I don't understand Europe" with "venom and emotion". Prime Minister David Cameron, who is leading the campaign for Britain to stay in the EU, said Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who backs so-called Brexit, had "made clear" that he was not the source of the apparent leak. "He has no idea where this story came from," the prime minister told the BBC, following a report in the Daily Telegraph that Mr Gove was facing claims he was the source. The Buckingham Palace complaint to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) was made under clause one of the editors' code of practice, which relates to accuracy and specifies that headlines should be supported by the main text of reports. Ipso declined to comment on the inquiry or timing of publication, referring the BBC to its website, which says decisions are published "as soon as is reasonably possible following the conclusion of the complaint".

Ministers from France, Germany, and the UK along with the US Secretary of State met in London amid increased urgency to reach agreement by the end of March. Six world powers want to ensure that Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons - something it denies doing. Earlier, Iran's president spoke positively about reaching agreement. "There is nothing that cannot be resolved," although some differences still remain, Iranian state media quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying. Mr Rouhani said that in the current round of talks in Lausanne, Switzerland, "shared points of view emerged in some of the areas where there had been a difference of opinion" and these could become "a foundation for a final agreement". Speaking after Saturday's talks in London, Mr Hammond said: "We will not do a bad deal that does not meet our red lines." An official statement from the meeting said: "We agreed that substantial progress had been made (with Iran) in key areas although there are still important issues on which no agreement has yet been possible. "Now is the time for Iran, in particular, to take difficult decisions." The four powers, along with China and Russia, make up the so-called P5+1 which is negotiating with Iran to scale back sensitive nuclear activities in return for an easing of international economic sanctions. Both Iran and the Western powers have set themselves deadlines of 31 March for a political framework agreement and 30 June for a final deal. US Secretary of State John Kerry also said that "substantial progress" had been made in the talks although "important gaps" remained. Mr Kerry flew to London from Switzerland and will return there to resume talks with Iran next week. But in a reminder of more hardline attitudes within the Iranian leadership, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Saturday against submitting to foreign demands in order to achieve economic growth. Sticking points in the nuclear talks are thought to include the pace at which sanctions would be lifted, how long the deal will last and how much of Iran's nuclear facilities will be open to inspection. The incident is the deadliest single attack on foreign troops in a month. Nato initially confirmed the deaths but declined to disclose the nationalities. Earlier, a Nato helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, killing one soldier, officials said. Almost 200 foreign troops have been killed by militants in Afghanistan so far this year. Tafsir Khogyani, commander of the border police for southern Afghanistan, told the BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul: "According to our initial information, Coalition and Afghan police went to destroy a Taliban container which had some explosives and weapons. As soon as the helicopter landed and other Isaf forces were patrolling, the explosion took place. "It took place in Shorabak district 19km (12 miles) from the Pakistani border." Shorabak district lies between the districts of Registan and Spin Boldak. Spin Boldak police chief Gen Abdul Raziq told the BBC that insurgents had been cleared from the area only two months ago. Meanwhile, Nato-led forces say they have pushed back Taliban fighters in a district in the eastern province of Nuristan. Local officials said up to 500 insurgents seized the district of Doab on Wednesday. The international security mission disputes the account given by local leaders. "At no point was the district centre overrun, the Taliban were never in control," said Isaf spokesman Maj Tim James. Afghan and Nato troops arrived in the district on Wednesday afternoon and carried out a number of air strikes, he said. "The area remains calm with Afghan and Nato troops very much in control," added Maj James. It is very hard to confirm Nato's claims or how far their control extends in the district. The provincial governor says nearly 30 insurgents were killed on Wednesday - but questions remain over the whereabouts of hundreds of others. Our correspondent says the mountainous area has many hiding places. Officials in Nuristan have been warning for more than a year that the government and Nato should do more to counter the militant threat in the area, he adds.

He was speaking in Belfast as his party launched an election billboard entitled: "A People's Pact". The election advertisement which states that the party wants "equality not austerity" was unveiled at Belfast Castle. Senior party figures and election candidates were present. "Any parties which contemplate endorsing or supporting a cabinet of millionaires who are behind budget cuts, cuts to public services and cuts to social protections are ignoring the needs of the people in favour of narrow self interest," Mr Adams said. The Louth TD said if local parties did a post-election deal to support larger parties at Westminster, they were effectively "signing up to austerity". Even in the event of a hung parliament, he said that his party would not reverse its long-held policy of abstentionism. Questioned over whether his party might be tempted to take their seats if it came to down to three or four seats, he said Sinn Féin would not reverse their position. "All of this is a distraction," he said. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Adams said: "We are active abstentionists." He stressed that there were no moves to discuss the party policy of boycotting the House of Commons chamber. "The party is very settled on this issue," he said. The party's billboard calls for voters to back candidates who embrace reconciliation, equality and progressive politics. "We want to see a society based on equality, inclusion and safeguards for children with disabilities, adults with severe disabilities and the long-term sick," Mr Adams said. "We are committed to defending the core public services of health, education and the welfare system." He said that previous Conservative and Labour British governments had imposed cuts and he told the BBC that whoever won the general election would be "committed to more austerity". Asked if he would choose between a Conservative government or a Labour administration, he rejected both options saying that in "the last 100 years very little good has come out of Westminster". Paul Lawson, 16, reportedly got into difficulties while swimming with friends at Greenbooth Reservoir in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Monday. Natalie Lawson said: "I begged him not to go. It is dangerous." A 15-year-old boy also drowned while swimming at Ryders Hayes Mear in Walsall, West Midlands, on Tuesday. Ms Lawson said she found out about Paul's death when she got messages asking if it was true about her son's drowning. "I said, 'what do you mean is it true about Paul?' "My head went miles away. It is just something a mother doesn't want to hear." Paul's body was recovered by police divers. His death is not being treated as suspicious. Ms Lawson is now urging people to learn from her son's death and not swim in the reservoir. "It is not worth putting your family through what I am going through now and what his sister is going through," she said. "Just think about it before you go in because you might come out this time but the second time, third time... you just never know when your luck is going to run out in these places." One of his friends who was laying flowers at the reservoir said Paul was "a really nice lad, very well liked and funny". He added: "It's awful." As well as the death of the boy in Walsall, an 80-year-old woman was pulled from the sea at East Witterings, Sussex, on Monday. Last year, 16-year-old Jack Pullen was pulled from the River Etherow, in Broadbottom, near Hyde, and 13-year-old Rafael Pizarro drowned in the Rochdale to Manchester canal in Middleton, Rochdale. David Gillard, who lives nearby Greenbooth Reservoir, said the spot was popular with young people. "We get a lot of teenagers coming up to cool off and what they tend to do is jump off the rocks," he said. David Walker, from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: "Things to consider when open water swimming, even on a hot day, is that the water might be a lot colder or deeper than you were expecting and there may be strong currents and underwater debris that you cannot see from the bank. "Consider how you are going to get out of the water before you get in, and be honest about your swimming ability." Source: National Water Safety Forum

The 23-year-old world number 69 will now play 20th seed Sloane Stephens of the United States. In the men's event, British number three Kyle Edmund will face world number one Novak Djokovic after beating Czech Jiri Vesely 6-4 5-7 7-6 (8-6). Watson won her third WTA Tour title in Monterrey earlier this month. "I'm very happy with today," she told BBC Sport. "I don't think my opponent was at her best. "It will definitely be a tough next round against Sloane. We've known each other a very long time and she's a great player, a great all-round athlete." Edmund, 21, held his nerve in a gruelling two-and-a-half hour contest, eventually sealing victory on his fourth match point. "I knew I needed to hit out, don't go within myself," he said. "It was important not to get down on myself, otherwise it would have cost me." The world number 82 will now take on top seed Djokovic for the first time, although he did practice with the Serb at Wimbledon a few years ago. "I'm very excited," said Edmund. "It will be a tough match, he's obviously the guy to beat at the moment. It will be a great experience just to see where my game is at." The electric car maker said about 2% of the 53,000 vehicles built from February to October 2016 were affected, but all of those cars are being recalled. The company added it had no reports of accidents or injuries relating to the brake issue. In US trading, Tesla shares closed down 1% at $302.51. In a statement the firm said the electric parking brakes installed on Model S and Model X "may contain a small gear that could have been manufactured improperly by our third-party supplier". If the gear were to break, the parking brake would continue to keep the car from moving, but the parking brake would be stuck in place, it added. Tesla said there had been no reports of parking brake failure, and said it was "safe to continue regular use of your vehicle." The company will be sending an official recall notice to customers, with information on how the parking brakes could be replaced. In 2013, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a US federal government agency, awarded the Tesla Model S a 5-star safety rating, and said the vehicle "set a new record for the lowest likelihood of injury to occupants". The company issued a voluntary recall for 3,000 of its Model S cars in November 2015, due to seatbelt connectivity problems. Tesla produced a total of 83,922 vehicles in 2016, including the Model S and Model X. Earlier this week chief executive Elon Musk said Tesla would unveil an electric articulated lorry in September. Additionally, he said an electric pick-up truck would be shown off in the next two years. Last year Mr Musk expressed the firm's desire to branch out beyond cars, but analysts are concerned the company will not meet demand for its current projects. The Model 3, a more mid-market car compared with Tesla's current offerings, has 400,000 pre-orders which is vastly more than the company can manufacture in a year. It is due to go into production later this year. The basic model will start at $35,000 (£28,500) and have a range of at least 215 miles (346km) per charge. Tesla faces competition from other similarly priced electric cars that will become available first, including General Motors' Chevy Bolt and BYD's Qin EV300.

Five were supposed to have been completed by the end of last year. The fifth - on Kos - is not yet ready. On Tuesday Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos visited the new centres - called "hotspots" - on Leros and Chios. Two more are on Lesbos and Samos. Greece says the influx of migrants from Turkey has diminished in recent days. Converted shipping containers and prefab shelters are being used to house thousands of migrants on the Greek islands. The EU says they must all be registered there and fingerprinted before going anywhere else. Last year more than 850,000 migrants - mostly refugees fleeing war and abuses in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - entered Greece as a gateway to the EU. Greece has been heavily criticised by EU partners for failing to register many of the migrants before they travel north through the EU. Germany is the target destination for most of them. EU border staff are helping Greece now. Greece says its EU partners must share the burden of accommodating migrants. It refuses to become a sort of holding centre for the rest of Europe. Last week the EU set Greece a deadline of three months to fix its border controls, amid fears of another migration surge from Turkey when the weather improves. The crisis has put the EU's Schengen passport-free travel zone at risk. One after another, Schengen countries have imposed temporary border controls. European Council President Donald Tusk says expelling Greece from Schengen would in no way solve the EU's migrant crisis. The crisis will be high on the EU's agenda at a Brussels summit on Thursday. Schengen: EU free movement deal explained Macedonia tries to stop migrant flow A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

The league leaders thrashed Airbus UK Broughton 4-0 thanks to a brace from Jon Routledge and goals from Aeron Edwards and Scott Quigley on Friday. The Saints have now won all 16 of their league games so far this campaign and have scored 60 goals in the process. Bangor City had set the previous Welsh record of 15 consecutive wins back in the 2010-11 season. On a night billed as 'David versus Goliath' by one fan, TNS will be grateful there was no biblical upset here. After scoring three goals in the first half an hour, breaking the record was never in doubt. Their 16-match winning run in a single season matches the best Barcelona have ever managed in La Liga in 2010-11. But they are still some way off the British record - Martin O'Nell's Celtic won 25 league games in a row back in 2003-04. Lance Hart, 57, killed his wife Claire, 50, and daughter Charlotte, 19, outside a swimming pool in Spalding last July. His sons, Luke and Ryan, said they had endured a "lifetime of struggle" with his controlling behaviour. "He had nothing to live for other than killing us," Luke, 27, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme. The murders happened days after Mrs Hart had left the family home following a breakdown in the couple's marriage. Hart shot the pair with a single-barrel shotgun in a swimming pool car park before turning the weapon on himself. Luke said it was his father's final act to ensure the family could not live without him. He had left a 12-page suicide note saying "revenge is a dish served cold". "It's pure evil, he hated us. He had the mentality of a terrorist, he was willing to kill himself to achieve what he achieved. Someone who's that fundamental, you can't stop. That's what makes our case so difficult to comprehend, we weren't safe whatever we did, if we had stayed he was planning to kill us there," he said. "When it's your own father...the anger is inexplicable. It's so complicated and horrible and the media treated it like a one-off, but for us it was a culmination of a lifetime of struggle." The brothers said he controlled the household by restricting money and isolating their mother from support networks. Luke said it was only in retrospect they can understand his subtle behaviours were about power. "The thing that makes it really dangerous, he was always very self-escalating in his behaviour, as his final actions proved. He was incredibly self-destructive and for us it was always a matter of shaping around him - we had to give in. "So we became really blind to it in the end, until we got to the point when he had mum's keys and documents and passport in a safe and we had no financial ability to do anything." The brothers said their mother had been keeping a diary of everything his father had said and done, but "as there were no bruises" they never felt it was something they could take to the police. Ryan, 26, said: "That's why we were so blind to our situation as we were looking out for physical violence. We didn't realise the danger of our situation. Physical violence is not the only sign of domestic abuse - quite often there is none." The boys, who had worked hard to give their mother and sister a better life, had moved her out of the house so "she would be safer" while the couple's divorce went through. At the time of the killings, some reports quoted neighbours who described Hart as a "very, very nice guy" who had struggled to deal with the breakdown of his marriage. Ryan said: "Many tried to justify it as an act of love. I've since seen it's not unique to our situation. Love is one word which would not fit. It detracts from the seriousness of domestic abuse and almost sympathises with the abuser. "When emotional abuse is talked about the onus is on the victims to escape or put up with it. There is no other form of murder where victims are blamed." Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.

State television showed images of Mr Castro at a meeting with cheese experts near the capital, Havana. Fidel Castro, 88, handed power to his younger brother Raul in 2006 after struggling to recover from illness. His appearance comes days after Cuba and the United States announced they were reopening embassies in each other's capitals on 20 July. Mr Castro is rarely seen in public, and secrecy about his health means his public appearances are scrutinised by the media. The historic thaw between the old Cold War enemies was announced on 17 December, in joint media conferences by Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro. There was no immediate comment from Fidel Castro, and analysts said the rapprochement would not have happened if he was still in power. Just over a month later, he broke his silence in a letter published on the Cuban Communist Party newspaper, Granma. "I don't trust the policy of the United States… but this does not mean I reject a pacific solution to the conflicts," he wrote. Relations had been frozen since the early 1960s when the US broke links and imposed a trade embargo on Cuba. Called Desert Trip, the three-day event will take place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California - the site of the Coachella music festival. Tickets start at $200 (£137) per day, rising to $1,599 (£1,097) for a three-day pass for the area near the stage. The Who, Roger Waters and Neil Young are also on the bill. Performances will start after sunset, with each artist playing a full set. Rumours about the show began to circulate last month, after the first weekend of Coachella. The Who's Roger Daltrey later confirmed to BBC 6 Music that the festival was likely to go ahead, describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime line-up. "We have to face it, we are [at] the end of an era," the singer told 6 Music's Matt Everitt. "We're the last of our generation." "You can see from reading the obituaries lately that we [rock stars] don't make old bones very well, do we?" The LA Times said Dylan and the Stones were expected to open the festival with back-to-back performances on Friday, 7 October, with McCartney and Young playing the following night, and Waters and the Who concluding proceedings on 9 October. "I don't think any of us cares who goes on first," said Daltrey. "We've never worried about that. The music is all so different, that's not going to matter at all." The gigs will be scheduled as follows:

The former foreign secretary said the issue of compensation for IRA victims was not raised with him prior to the discussions with the Libyans. He added that had it been on the agenda it is unlikely it would have been resolved. Mr Straw was giving evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. The committee is examining the government's role in seeking compensation for IRA victims who suffered because of explosives supplied by Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The former foreign secretary who was involved in a peace deal with Libya in 2003, said there was no suggestion the victims of IRA violence were at the back of the queue. "The issue of compensation for victims of PIRA (Provisional IRA) terrorism was not raised with me, so far as I can recall and I know the Foreign Office can find no record suggesting it was raised," he said. "When you are involved in negotiations of this kind to deal with a very serious and continuing danger that the Gaddafi regime had caused over many years, you have got to make a decision over what you are going to concentrate on. If the issue of PIRA had been raised we would have taken it into account, it was not raised." "Even if we put it on the agenda we didn't believe it should get in the way of the agreement as had we refused an agreement on the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) agenda with Libyans, it wouldn't have helped the victims of IRA bombings for a second," he said. It simply would have meant that Libya would have continued to be dangerous," he added. Members of the committee also asked Mr Straw to explain why the families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing received compensation but those who suffered at the hands of Libyan supplied explosives to the IRA did not. "Libya under a United Nations Security resolution accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie attack and agreed to pay compensation," he said. "There was no such UN Security Council which bonded Libya to pay compensation to the victims of its support for the IRA, that was the difference," he said. Mr Straw also revealed that he too had suffered at the hands of the IRA. He told the committee how he had been hit by flying glass when a car bomb exploded outside the Old Bailey in 1973. He added that he later had to sign the release papers for some of those involved in the bombing as part of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations. The UUP MP for south Antrim, Danny Kinahan said Mr Straw's committee appearance will bring no comfort to victims: "Jack Straw's evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee has raised more questions than answers, and brings us no further in terms of assisting those UK victims of IRA attacks where Libyan Semtex and weapons were used," he said. Pembrokeshire council cancelled the contract after former chief executive Bryn Parry Jones left the council in October. Last week it was instructed to reveal the full cost within 35 days.

The officers are 10 of 13 referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) by the force. Two are not being investigated while a third officer remains under review. A report, published by Professor Alexis Jay in August, found the abuse of 1,400 children in Rotherham over a 16 year period was ignored by agencies. IPCC Commissioner Kathryn Stone said: "The amount of public concern across the country about this episode and the impact on confidence in the police means it is important that a fully independent investigation is conducted to establish how South Yorkshire Police dealt with child sexual exploitation. "I sincerely hope that victims and their families will see this investigation as a positive step towards answering the many questions they must have." 1,400 children were abused, 1997-2013 1/3 of victims were already known to social services 157 reports concerning child sexual exploitation made to police in 2013 10 prosecutions were made between 2013 and April 2014 The IPCC probe comes after a whistleblower told the BBC she had regularly passed details about alleged abusers to senior police officers but they had failed to act. The 10 officers - some of whom are still serving with South Yorkshire Police - were identified in Professor Jay's report, which detailed how children had been subjected to trafficking, rape and other sexual exploitation between 1997 to 2013. Allegations against them included failures to progress investigations into children being abused and the loss of evidence. A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "The force has met with the IPCC and remains absolutely committed to assisting them with their independent investigation in any way we can to ensure the full facts are established relating to any alleged misconduct. "We will fully co-operative with the investigation into the force's handling of child sexual exploitation and anyone found to have not acted appropriately will be held to account." The controversy that followed the report led to a series of high-profile resignations, including Rotherham's strategic director of children's services, Joyce Thacker, and South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, who had been the councillor with responsibility for children's services between 2005 and 2010.

Police and wildlife officials went door to door late at night to tell residents a deadly cobra had apparently escaped from a home in Ocala. The snake's owner, who is licensed to keep venomous animals, called police after it leapt out from its cage. Owner Brian Purdy thinks one of his pet lizards may have eaten the snake. Mr Purdy told officers that one of his large venomous pet lizards had an unusually large stomach, and that he would have a vet take an X-ray to see if the tan and yellow suphan monocled cobra is inside, the Ocala Star Banner reports. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission say the snake escaped from its cage around 21:00 local time on Monday night while Mr Purdy was away from home. Another man, who was shadowing Mr Purdy in order to receive his Venomous Reptile Permit, had been attempting to remove the snake from its enclosure when it jumped out at him and escaped into the sealed room. Officials have alerted neighbours, but officials think the cold-blooded snake would not have gone far from the home due to cold weather. The two-foot long (61cm) cobra is one of the world's deadliest snake species, but will only attack humans if it is startled, experts say.

Jeff Farrar told BBC Wales two officers left to become train drivers - earning "about £10,000 more". The force has announced it is recruiting 40 more constables in the next three years, on top of 60 internal posts appointed over last summer. However, the force has lost more than 300 staff since 2011. "I've never done this job for the money - it's not about the money, but still we should be rewarding people for what they do," argued the chief constable. "I think if the public really saw some of the things (police officers) do face day-to-day, the financial recompense for that is not always as good as it might be." Gareth O'Reilly, a former Gwent Police officer, left the force after 10 years for a job offer which "paid significantly more" He said: "Trying to do more with less was very much the theme of the day. "You're seeing a vast amount of police officers now seeking alternative appointments and seeing that the grass is greener outside of the police which you haven't in previous years, and it's a relatively new phenomenon. "Morale has nosedived significantly, particularly in the last couple of years." Mr Farrar said the pay issue needed to be addressed "across the country". "I think it's got to be through national negotiating boards," he said. The Home Office announced in 2013 that police constables' starting salary would be lowered by £4,000 to £19,000 for recruits with no policing experience. More experienced officers, such as those who had worked as special constables or PCSOs, start on about £22,000. However, the changes also saw the number of pay scales cut from from 10 to seven, meaning officers could reach the higher pay grade of £36,000 more quickly. Announcing plans to recruit 40 more officers for Gwent Police, the force said the move - in addition to the summer additions - was achieved by experienced staff choosing to leave or retire. Gwent Police also recently secured an increase in its funding from council tax payers of 3.9% in the form of a police precept - the amount added to every council tax bill to cover an element of policing costs. Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnson said a consultation suggested residents in the force area were willing to pay an extra 12p per day to maintain a good service. A Home Office spokesman said: "Police officers continue to earn more than other emergency services, retire earlier than most in the public sector and benefit from pensions that are among the best available." Samples from 23 London 2012 athletes and 31 from Beijing 2008 were found to contain banned substances during recent retests by the IOC. Twenty-two of the 54 failed tests were for Russian competitors. "Making sure sport is protected for clean athletes is critical," said Team GB chief executive Bill Sweeney. "Retrospective testing is a great thing and it sends out a great message to any athletes considering cheating." The IOC has been retesting samples from the last two Olympic Games at the World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland. The tests are focusing on samples from athletes hoping to compete at the upcoming Games. Team GB chef de mission Mark England added: "We applaud the steps that the international federations such as the IAAF and the IOC are taking to ensure all athletes across the world are competing on a level playing field. "I think a very strong message is coming out that there is no where to hide." Thursday marks 50 days to go until the start of Rio 2016 and England is confident the British squad can achieve best-ever results at an overseas Games. The current record is 47 medals at Beijing 2008 - although with retrospective re-testing that figure could yet increase. "I think it's the most talented team that we've ever taken away," said England. "If you look right across the board there isn't a sport which hasn't won a medal at European or world level and I would be very confident that we could surpass that medal target."

Gwent Police's chief constable has questioned whether officers are paid enough after a "significant number" left for higher paid jobs. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Team GB chiefs hope the introduction of retrospective drugs testing will help discourage athletes from cheating at this summer's Rio Olympics.

The video was captured by Jonathan Steward as he was travelling with his son and daughter on the A140 between Diss and Norwich. Police are seeking a prosecution for dangerous driving following the incident on 16 September. The Crown Prosecution Service said it needs more time to consider the case. The footage shows the Ford car stopping right in front of Mr Steward's vehicle before driving away, turning around and driving head-on towards it, ramming the car twice. Mr Steward, from Norwich, said it caused £4,000 damage to his BMW X5 and left his daughter Holly, 10, "petrified". He was driving from Woodbridge, Suffolk, to Norwich after picking up his children. The drama unfolded when he got to the roundabout at Dickleburgh. He said: "The other driver was in the right-hand lane and I presumed he was turning right but instead he went straight as well. "I accelerated to get out of the way but the lane narrows and I could see in my rear view mirror that the driver swerved towards me to try and clip back of my car. "Then he overtook me and slammed on the brakes." The CPS decided not to consider the case because it felt it would not get a conviction, but Mr Steward appealed against the decision in February. He said: "You give them dashcam footage, you give them all the evidence. I wonder what it takes to get somebody prosecuted? "It really upset my kids which is why I'm doing this." The CPS said it needed another 28 days to review the case. Property magnate Wang Jianlin of Dalian Wanda tops the list of 594 billionaires in the country, ahead of 535 billionaires in the US. Alibaba's Jack Ma was second, with his wealth having risen 41% from last year. The annual list is compiled by Shanghai publishers Hurun and often compared to the Forbes list in the US. The Hurun Report's rich list is one of the most closely-watched and accurate assessments of wealth in China. The annual report has been published for the past 18 years. Earlier this year, the publisher released a separate, global list, showing that the number of billionaires in China outnumbered those in the US for the first time. However, none of China's super-rich make it into the global top 20. At the top of the China rich list is Wang Jianlin, who sits on a personal fortune of $32.1bn (£26.4bn). His company Dalian Wanda has made headlines throughout the year with a number of high profile forays into the US movie markets. It has taken over Legendary Pictures, as well as stepping into US and UK cinema chains and striking an alliance with Sony Pictures. Alibaba's Jack Ma is a close second with $30.6bn, and Pony Ma of internet and online gaming giant Tencent comes third with $24.6bn. The biggest increase came from Yao Zhengua of investment and real estate firm Baoneng Group, whose wealth jumped by 820% to $17.2bn, putting him in fourth position. Hurun chairman Rupert Hoogewerf said Mr Yao's rise illustrated a shift in China's maturing economy. "Yao's financial investment model represents the new wave of wealth creation in China," he explained. "The first money made in China 20 years ago came from trading, followed by manufacturing, real estate, IT, and today it is about using the capital markets for financial investments." Robin Li and Melissa Ma of search engine Baidu have a fortune of $14.7bn, ranked eighth while founder of smartphone makers Xiaomi, Lei Jun, dropped out of the top 10 to number 14 as competition in China's smartphone market intensified. Most of China's billionaires live in Beijing, followed by Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Globally, the Forbes rich list is topped by Microsoft founder Bill Gates with $75bn, followed by Amancio Ortega of Zara and legendary investor Warren Buffett.

Prof Carl Jones, from Carmarthen, has saved birds including the pink pigeon and echo parakeet during 40 years of work in Mauritius. He also expanded the number of Mauritius kestrels from just four in the wild to more than 300 in a decade. Prof Jones will be awarded the 2016 Indianapolis Prize in London. The man who nominated him for the award, Dr Simon N Stuart, chairman of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission, said: "I know of no other conservationist who has directly saved so many species from extinction." Of the 63 bird, mammal and amphibian species worldwide that have been down-listed on the IUCN Red List as a result of conservation initiatives, Prof Jones has led the recovery efforts for six of them. The cash prize and Lilly Medal will be presented to the professor, who is chief scientist of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and scientific director of the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, at the Natural History Museum. Prof Jones is known as a "Durrell disciple", having worked closely with author and naturalist Gerald Durrell since the 1970s. He said: "It's a great accolade not just for me, but for Gerry Durrell and the people who have made this work possible over the years. "I'm particularly proud of this award because it validates the conservation of animals — like Telfair's skinks and pink pigeons — that are not megavertebrates, but provide critically important ecosystem services nonetheless." Horner scored three of Cameron's biggest films - Titanic, Avatar and Aliens - and was signed up to compose the music for the next three Avatars. "There's so much music he could have done. We were looking forward to our next gig," Cameron told People. The pair both won their first Oscars together for Titanic in 1998. In a joint statement Cameron and his Avatar producing partner Jon Landau said "the Avatar community has lost one of our great creative lights". "James's music was the air under the banshees' wings, the ancient song of the forest, and the heartbeat of Eywa," they said. "We have lost not only a great team-mate and collaborator, but a good friend. "James's music affected the heart because his heart was so big, it infused every cue with deep emotional resonance, whether soaring in majesty through the floating mountains, or crying for the loss of nature's innocence under bulldozer treads. "The beauty and power of Avatar lay not just in the superb performances and the visual splendour, but in the music that made us cry and exult along with our characters. Irayo, James. Fly brother.'' Horner, who was a trained pilot, is reported to have been alone aboard a small private plane when it crashed in Santa Barbara, California, on Monday. He and Cameron met while working on sci-fi movie Battle Beyond the Stars in 1980 and Cameron later hired him for his debut feature, Aliens. However after a "rocky" experience it was a decade until they worked together again on Titanic. The film's soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time and won Horner Oscars for best score and best original song - for Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On - while Cameron picked up best director and best picture. The director remembered his reaction when Horner first played him the score. "I literally teared up at each one, and it was just him at his piano, by himself, no technical people around or anything and I knew it was going to be a fantastic score at that point," Cameron said. "I think he's up there with John Williams and Hans Zimmer, firmly implanted at the top of the firmament of the current great masters." Cameron told the Hollywood Reporter "the orchestra loved him", adding: "It was his room and they were sure to make something great." He said he last saw Horner at the Royal Albert Hall in April. "The orchestra did the entire Titanic score live to the movie. James was there to take his bows. Jon Landau and I went to London just for the concert, and we had a kind of reunion. "It was emotional and I'm glad that was my last personal memory of James."

A conservationist from Wales who has brought back at least nine species from the brink of extinction will receive a £170,000 ($250,000) prize later.

John, who grew up in Pembrokeshire, died in September 1939, aged 63. The sister of Augustus John whose paintings initially overshadowed hers, she is now regarded by critics as the superior artist. John's final resting place in Dieppe is revealed in the S4C programme presented by Ffion Hague on Sunday. Gwen John studied art in London before leaving for France in 1904. In Paris she met the much-older Rodin. Their relationship lasted a decade and shaped the remainder of the Welsh artist's life and work. Some of her work is kept at the National Museum in Cardiff and Tate Britain in London. But the site of her grave had remained uncertain - until now. Llinos Wynne, series producer for the history programme Mamgwlad gyda Ffion Hague said: "I was a little bit obsessed with the fact that no-one knew where Gwen John was buried, bearing in mind that she wasn't poor, and was quite famous in her day. "I thought it was strange and a bit sad, and I knew that Sara John, Gwen's great niece, was also decidedly interested to find where Gwen was buried. "For years she's wanted to have a memorial plaque in place for Gwen at her final resting place. Find out more about Gwen John and watch a slideshow of her works on Your Paintings "We met up with Sara and she shared the research she had done so far with us. There were gaps in the research but her information led us to Dieppe. "Here, after speaking to the locals and following various trails we finally found the record of Gwen's grave in Dieppe's Janval Cemetery documented as Mary John. "Her Christian names were Gwendolyn Mary John. Her final resting place has been a mystery all these years because there was no headstone, and at the time of her death many graves were being dug up and the bodies burned and re-buried to make space for the bodies of soldiers from the war." As well as tracing John's life, the programme reveals previously unseen sketches by her and letters she wrote to Rodin. Sara John has approached the authorities in Dieppe about placing a plaque at the burial site. "I'm delighted that they've made this programme about Gwen and her life and that her final resting place has been rediscovered. "Now I'm hoping we can look forward to having the Welsh slate plaque in place for Gwen," she said. Artist Mary Lloyd Jones said: "I'm very proud that a Welsh woman succeeded in creating work of such great standing, and found her own voice."

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was looking into a social media post by Katy Bourne during the 2016 PCC election period. A member of the public complained she stated she had not claimed any expenses during her previous four-year PCC term. The complaint alleged she had in fact filed expense claims of about £385. The claims were filed between November 2012 and October 2013, it was alleged. "As Mrs Bourne is a Police and Crime Commissioner, the IPCC will investigate whether she made a false statement during the 2016 election," said IPCC deputy chair Sarah Green. "On completion of the investigation we will decide whether any matters should be referred to the Crown Prosecution Service for its consideration." PCCs are referred to the IPCC only when there is an indication of a possible criminal offence. The IPCC said it would investigate whether there was a criminal breach of s106 of the Representation of the Peoples Act 1983 Bottles of shampoo were used to conceal the drugs but they were found at the Daresbury site near Warrington, according to Cheshire Police.

The Victims' Forum held discussions with Secretary of State Theresa Villiers. The recent inter-party talks did not bring an agreement on legacy issues. Ms Villiers said that the government was prepared to consider "alternatives" when negotiating on the key issue of national security. The government has been accused of failing to deliver on a commitment made in the Stormont House Agreement, by insisting on a veto on material to protect national security. Speaking after the meeting, Ms Villiers said: "We put some compromises on the table in relation to national security, such as a direct right of appeal to the High Court. We feel that we stretched ourselves on that but we're obviously open to consideration of alternatives." She also said that agreement on the matter was closer than ever before. "There's a long list of other issues which have been more or less resolved, so I continue to be optimistic about the prospect of getting these bodies up and running sometime soon," she said. The Victims' Forum described the meeting as "very positive". Jennifer McNern, who lost both legs in the Abercorn bombing in 1972, said: "I'm more confident than I was a couple of weeks ago that the secretary of state will speak to politicians again, hopefully with new energy and a will to compromise." Mitch Bresland, a former UDR member, said: "We took some reassurance from the fact that the secretary of state had plans, and she felt we could move forward." On Sunday, Northern Ireland's victims' commissioner said new talks between the political parties to try and get agreement on dealing with outstanding legacy issues needed to start now. Judith Thompson told the Sunday Politics programme there was a level of energy and common purpose that was not there before. Last month, a deal, known as Fresh Start, was agreed between the British and Irish governments and Northern Ireland's two largest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin. It followed 10 weeks of talks and secured agreement on outstanding issues relating to paramilitaries and welfare reform. However, they failed to break the deadlock over legacy issues arising from Northern Ireland's Troubles. 28 September 2016 Last updated at 21:53 BST Leadenhall Market and King's Cross station routinely attract fans looking to reminisce over scenes from the films.

Campaign group A Free Wales in Europe/Cymru Rydd yn Ewrop gathered on the Maes in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, and Cardiff on Saturday. It follows the referendum decision, which saw 52.5% of voters in Wales vote leave. Pro-Brexit campaigner David Jones MP said what the campaign group called for was "profoundly undemocratic". Rally campaigner Ifan Morgan Jones, who attended the gathering in Caernarfon, said: "Despite a majority in Wales voting out of the European Union, the vote was actually extremely close, with 48% voting to stay in. "We do not believe the people of Wales were given all the facts before the vote. The discussion was held in a British context, and there was almost no discussion about the likely impact on Wales. "The EU has invested over £4bn in Wales since 2000. Unlike some other parts of the UK, Wales does get a lot more out of the EU than it puts in." Mr Jones added: "We're democrats and fully accept the EU referendum result. "We're not attempting to overturn it, but to convince people that Wales' future now lies as an independent country within the EU." Sandy Club, who attended the Cardiff rally, said: "We simply didn't have a debate in Wales. "A lot of people voted listening to a debate coming through the television and radio from England, and we haven't decided on Welsh issues." However, Clwyd West MP Mr Jones, a Conservative who led the Vote Leave Cymru campaign, said: "Wales voted decisively for Britain to leave the European Union on 23 June and for people to call for any other arrangement is profoundly undemocratic." Responding to campaigners' claims that Wales would be worse off out of the EU, he added: "That is what they may say but the majority of people clearly don't agree. Frankly, these demonstrators should respect the will of the people."

After helping save a colonialist's life the Native American travelled to England in 1616 with husband Jon Rolfe. Legend has it Pocahontas planted a mulberry tree at a manor house in Heacham, Norfolk, where Rolfe was from. Now, Forestry Commission (FC) experts will carry out the DNA testing on the tree in a bid to prove the link. The test comes as the 400th anniversary of her death is marked with a parade in Gravesend, Kent, where she died on her journey home to Virginia in 1617. The tree - in the same spot, but now in the grounds of Heacham Manor Hotel - still produces fruit. Rolfe and Pocahontas spent 10 months in England before her death. During this trip it is thought Pocahontas and her family visited the family home of her husband in Heacham - although there is little evidence of this. The FC's Northern Research Station (NRS) in Roslin has confirmed it will carry out out initial DNA research work on the tree. The idea was mooted by retired college lecturer Christine Dean who lives in Heacham and has extensively researched the Pocahontas legend. She said she was fascinated by the story because "it's not just village history, it was a crossroads in world history". The hotel said that as soon as fresh mulberry leaves shoot in May, a six-inch branch will be sent to the research lab for testing. It is hoped this will lead to looking at the DNA connection between the hotel's tree and another three very old mulberry trees identified in the UK - at Buckingham Palace, Syon House in west London and Narford Hall, Norfolk. It is thought Pocahontas could have visited one of these trees and collected seeds, and research could establish whether they are forebears of the Heacham tree. Graham Bray, from the hotel, said that if the DNA was similar then it is "likely" that Pocahontas planted it, but "obviously not conclusive". Walter Scott and Partners paid its 112 staff a total of more than £40m plus £5m worth of bonuses. Of that, the company's six directors received £25m - an average of more than £4m. That was a rise from a total pay bill of £25m in 2014, for 99 directors and staff, plus £6m in bonuses. During that year, six directors received nearly £14m, plus £3m in bonuses. Accounts filed at Companies House are not required to state who earns the most, but say "the most highly paid director" received the pay package of more than £8m. Top roles are occupied by Rodger Nisbet, the executive chairman, and Jane Henderson, the managing director. Between 2014 and 2015, assets under management at the Charlotte Square office fell from £45.8bn to £42.2bn. These are funds placed in its equity portfolio by institutional investors. Revenue for the company rose 3% to £208m, and the partnership saw its own assets grow 8% to £239m. The biggest change in the accounts was in the firm's administrative expenses, down from £124m to £66m. Much of this is explained by a change to the handling of a disputed tax bill. The firm has paid the bill, on earnings from overseas funds, to avoid further HMRC interest charges. But it does not accept liability for it, and discussions continue. Walter Scott and Partners was founded in 1983. It was sold by its partners, including its founder Walter Scott, to USA-based Mellon Financial in 2006. The price was reportedly £400m.

The US parent company received £100m in dividend payment for 2015, up from £95m for the previous year.

The barrister and former senior legal adviser to the assembly was elected at a count at Deeside College following Thursday's poll. PCCs, as they will be known, will be responsible for setting priorities for their police force, overseeing its budget and hiring the chief constable. Mr Roddick beat Labour's Tal Michael in the second round of counting. He received 35,688 votes in total, while Mr Michael had 27,128. He is one of Wales' leading barristers and was Wales' first Counsel General, the most senior legal adviser to the Welsh assembly. The QC began his career as a police constable in Liverpool before becoming a barrister and has been a crown court recorder. After his victory, Mr Roddick said he was aware of the "big challenge ahead". "I hope I'm up to the challenge and I hope that I will get the assistance from the interested groups that has been promised," he said. "But I make a personal commitment that I will commit myself to these challenges and I will do my utmost to score the points I said need scoring in giving the people of north Wales the police service they're entitled to." In his campaign, Mr Roddick said the police commissioner needed to act independently of political interference. He beat Labour's Tal Michael, the former chief executive of North Wales Police Authority, whose father is standing for election for the same post in the South Wales force area. The count went to the second round, with the second preference votes from other candidates going forward. Richard Eccles, secretary of North Wales Police Federation, representing rank-and-file officers, has written to Mr Roddick asking him to spell out his plans. "We want to meet the new PCC as soon as possible and look forward to working with him," said Mr Eccles. "He takes on this role at a critical time for policing. The government's 20% cuts to policing budgets are starting to bite and are affecting front-line services." Those candidates eliminated after the first round were Irish-born Colm McCabe, the Conservative candidate, a former chief officer for the special constabulary in North Wales; Richard Hibbs, a Llanduno-based businessman, an independent, and Warwick Nicholson, a retired police officer, was Ukip's only candidate in Wales. Mr McCabe received 11,485 votes, Mr Hibbs gained 11,453 and Mr Nicholson had 6,034.

Media playback is unsupported on your device 19 February 2015 Last updated at 08:50 GMT The 200 million year old fossil was hidden away in the museum store room. It's thought to be the remains of an ichthyosaur - an extinct marine reptile. The man who found it says scientists now know it lived in the waters around Britain, and that its last meal was a squid. It is not uncommon to find ichthyosaur fossils in England. The sharp-toothed marine reptiles swam in large numbers in the seas around Britain when the dinosaurs roamed. When you look back, you'll remember it as the day the Chinese yuan began its journey to become one of the world's most important currencies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced that the yuan is now part of an elite basket of currencies that until now included only the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the euro and the British pound. The yuan won't actually start being a part of the basket until September 2016 - so this move won't have any immediate impact on financial markets. But don't kid yourself. This largely symbolic gesture is an historic one - and a sign that China is rising ever faster and further on the global financial stage. So what does that mean for the rest of us? Well, by some accounts it's the start of a whole new world order. Nomura Securities predicts that by 2030 the yuan will become one of the top three major international currencies - "a peer to the US dollar and the euro as the most used currencies in the world." But all of this depends on whether China continues its financial reforms - which have been one of the main reasons behind the IMF's decision to include the yuan in this elite basket. The IMF said the decision was "an important milestone in the integration of the Chinese economy into the global financial system" and that it would bring about "a more robust international monetary and financial system". Nomura says that although the yuan's share of trading volumes in the international currency market is still small - less than 2% relative to China's share of global gross domestic product - that its daily trading volume tripled between 2010 and 2013, from $34bn (£22.6bn) to $120bn. That means there's a whole lot more yuan on the markets. China has been working towards this for the last few years - and it's remarkable that their highly managed currency has been deemed fit to enter this special basket of freely traded currencies. Beijing sees the inclusion of the yuan as a sign of just how important China has become to the global financial system. In order to make this happen, the world's second largest economy has pushed through a number of changes in recent times - including allowing foreign investors to access its stock markets. But just how transparent China will be about the way it runs its financial markets will be a key determinant as to whether the yuan gets to the next step. It's clearly become an ambition for the powers that be in Beijing to see the yuan become a true global currency - alongside the US dollar, the yen and the euro. In the face of slowing economic growth in China, analysts have acknowledged there have been some worrying signs that the government is either trying to roll back on some key financial reforms - or that the chaps in charge really don't know what they're doing. Case in point: the effective devaluation of the yuan earlier this year took markets by surprise - and the People's Bank of China was widely criticised for mishandling the communication around how those events unfolded. Now, Chinese officials will be under even more pressure - and scrutiny - to get their message right. The world will be watching to see what kind of impact more yuan circulating the international markets will have. If the yuan becomes a fixture of the global economy, then it's likely the rest of the world will become even more exposed to what Beijing does - which will make it ever more important that China's leaders push through meaningful financial reforms.

Tamara Holboll made several calls for help in the days leading up to her death in May 2014. Coroner Mary Hassell was told mental health workers did not think Peter Holboll would harm his mother, However, just days later he stabbed her and set fire to her Kentish Town flat. Holboll, 44, was sent to a secure hospital for an unlimited time last November after pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. St Pancras Coroners Court was told Mrs Holboll and her son made a number of calls to the South Camden Rehabilitation and Recovery Team on 7 May 2014. The centre provides services for adults with serious and long term psychosis. Holboll and his mother told social workers they wanted to get him admitted to hospital. She said she was afraid he would harm her. The inquest heard Mrs Holboll, 76, was in denial that her son had a mental illness and there was "enormous tension" between the two. Social workers who saw Peter on 7 May said he was anxious and hearing voices. Clinical Team Manager Anthony Jemmott told the coroner: "He said it (the voice) was telling him to hurt his mother but wasn't sure, he seemed confused". The team were unable to find him a bed at Highgate Mental Health Centre. When the coroner asked why they did not push harder for a bed, two of those who saw Peter said they did not believe he was an "imminent risk" to his mother. The inquest continues. The train hit one of three wooden sleepers that fell on the track from a trailer, near Somerleyton in Suffolk. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said the crash happened on 18 June after Network Rail staff removed old sleepers and rails overnight. Network Rail said safety rules about observation of loads were reissued to staff immediately after the crash. A maintenance team spent the early hours of the day removing old wooden sleepers from the track between Somerleyton and Oulton Broad North station. The report said guidelines had been flouted and no-one was given the job of ensuring "nothing fell off" the trailers. The report said: "The authorised work plan calls for a person to be appointed to monitor the load on each trailer." The passenger train from Norwich to Lowestoft was travelling at about 35mph (56km/h) when it hit the sleeper, just after 05:08 BST. The driver stopped the train before getting out to inspect what it had hit. The RAIB said he was accompanied by a second driver and they found a wooden sleeper "wedged under the front" of the train, as well as two further sleepers nearby, which they removed. After deciding the train was fit to move, the driver continued his journey to Lowestoft at a reduced speed. A spokesman for Network Rail said: "The safety of our network is of the utmost importance to us and we will take any steps necessary to prevent a recurrence of this incident. "We will be studying the recommendations of the report in detail." The carmaker is investing £800m at its headquarters in Crewe to develop and build the sports utility vehicle (SUV), which will compete with cars like the Range Rover. Bentley's owner, Volkswagen, considered making the car in Bratislava, Slovakia, where it already builds SUVs. The British government lobbied to keep the project in the UK. Prime Minister David Cameron was at the announcement at Bentley's headquarters. "I am delighted that Bentley will be building their new vehicle here, not only creating a thousand jobs, but safeguarding many more, as well as increasing training opportunities for highly skilled apprentices," he said. Chairman of Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn said: "The Volkswagen Group believes in the UK as a competitive location for industrial production. "Together we will make this new Bentley another true Bentley - powerful, exclusive and successful." The new car is due to go on sale in 2016. It will be Bentley's fourth model joining the Flying Spur, Continental GT and the Mulsanne.

The 25-year-old, who played for his country at the recent World Cup, was with Sale Sharks last season. He could be used immediately by Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend, who has three hookers out injured. "He came down to Cardiff at the weekend and has been training with us for over a week, so he's ready to play if selected," said Townsend. "Shalva is a very experienced hooker who has been playing international rugby for the last four years and played well for Georgia against the All Blacks at the World Cup. "He was also at Sale Sharks last season, playing at a high level in the English Premiership and Champions Cup." Mamukashvili will replace Kevin Bryce in Warriors' 41-man European squad before Saturday's opening Champions Cup trip to face French side Racing 92. Bryce and Fergus Scott have both had shoulder operations and are expected to remain on the sidelines for several months, while Fraser Brown is recovering from foot surgery. Back-rower Jason Hill has also had ankle surgery and is expected to be out for another two months. "Fergus has done well for us when called upon and Kevin had just come back from the World Cup ready to kick on this season," said Townsend. "Jason had a really good pre-season, impressing against Clermont and Canada." Mamukashvili has 35 caps for his country and played 11 times for Sale last season, including three Champions Cup games. The hooker, who began his career with Kochebi and Armia Tbilisi in his homeland, rates Glasgow as "one of the best in Europe". "Playing against Argentina and New Zealand at the World Cup was a great experience and something which will help me at the Warriors," he said. Teenagers have been playing evening games of football at 38 venues, under the Premier League Kicks programme. In its first year, 5,123 young people were involved, nearly double the number expected, the Premier League said. West Midlands Police said the project, which involves five top football clubs, had been funded for two more years. Five football clubs, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City, have received funding from the Premier League, Sport England and the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner since September, 2013. Its first year has been marked at Birmingham International Futsal Arena. Dasin Shamdeen, 16 and from Coventry, said he had been involved since the start after being handed a leaflet while playing football in a park. "I invited a lot of friends and brought everyone down," he said. "I've really enjoyed it. It has created a lot of opportunities for people." Dasin, who now helps Kicks staff organise games and tournaments, said 50 to 100 teenagers played football at Coventry's AT7 centre twice a week. Garry Forsyth, Assistant Chief Constable with West Midlands Police, said the force had given £225,000 from its Proceeds of Crime funds to support Kicks. "We are in a society where there are not many activities that are freely available to engage young people due to austerity measures," he said. Premier League Kicks begun in 2006 as a partnership between the Premier League and Metropolitan Police to use the "power of football" to build safer and stronger communities. More than 11,00 youngsters involved have become project volunteers, while 500 have become employees of the clubs, the Premier League said.

Poulter, second at last week's Players Championship, thought he had lost his PGA Tour card in April as he was ranked 197th after struggling with injury. The 41-year-old got a reprieve after a discrepancy in the points structure used for players competing on major medical exemptions was highlighted. "Thanks for the invite and help, European Tour," said the Englishman. "Excited to now be playing. Heard good things about the west course. See you in a week." The PGA Championship is the European Tour's flagship event, while the PGA Tour is a season of tournaments played mainly in the United States. World number two Rory McIlroy will decide early next week whether he will play at Wentworth. A scan has revealed the back problem the 28-year-old Northern Irishman had at the Players Championship was a recurrence of a rib injury from earlier this year. Golding will remain at Headingley until the end of the 2021 season. The 20-year-old has played 31 games for the Rhinos since his debut in 2014, including 13 appearances in 2017. Golding, who supported Leeds as a child, told the club website: "I think there is something special here at this club. It means a lot to me to play for this great club and pull my shirt on." The match will be played at Dar-es-Salaam's National Stadium on 13 July. They will play the winners of the inaugural SportPesa Super Cup which will feature four teams from Kenya's Premier League and four from Tanzania's top flight.

The vow came after talks with President Enrique Pena Nieto in the White House, in which the two discussed the recent disappearance of 43 Mexican students. The students were believed to have been handed over to a drugs gang. The case sparked protests around Mexico and more were held outside as the leaders met. Mr Obama called it a "tragic" case and said he supported Mexico's response. The US president said his country would be a "good partner" to its neighbour in the fight against drugs and associated problems. "Our commitment is to be a friend and supporter of Mexico in its efforts to eliminate the scourge of violence and drug cartels that are responsible for so many tragedies inside of Mexico," he said. Earlier this week, the wife of the former mayor of the Mexican city where the students went missing was charged with organised crime and money laundering. Prosecutors say police handed the students over to the drug gang and the gang killed them. At the scene: Thomas Sparrow, BBC Mundo, Oval Office The disappearance of 43 students in late 2014 has tarnished the image of the Mexican government and enraged many Mexicans. The issue dominated discussions between the two presidents at the Oval Office and, as they talked, dozens of protesters defied the first snowfall of the year to demand justice. Many shouted slogans in Spanish like "they were taken away alive, we want them back alive". Others had posters that read "we want a better Mexico, without deaths and disappearances". Ultimately, what many want is answers from the government - where the students are and what exactly happened to them. On Monday, Human Rights Watch also added to the pressure on Pena Nieto by highlighting Mexico's "human rights' crisis" and asking the president to address the issue more seriously. The two presidents spoke for about an hour on several issues including border security and Cuba. Mr Pena Nieto was visiting the White House for the first time as president and he backed Mr Obama's new policy on immigration - granting legal status to millions of undocumented migrants, many of them Mexican. But the battle against drugs and its consequences dominated the meeting. Tens of thousands of people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico in recent years. Mary Sherry said the department is now dealing with almost double the number of patients originally planned for. The casualty department is not expected to meet its target of treating 95% of patients within four hours this year. Ms Sherry said discussions were being held into redeveloping the department, but vowed it would remain in Reading town centre. The A&E department was designed for 65,000 attendees she said, but was now getting 120,000 annually. Ms Sherry said there were problems with parking in the existing location which needed to be resolved with the help of Reading Borough Council. She said: "We know there are land restraints... but I wouldn't be recommending a hospital elsewhere. "I think we're in the right place for the population." The acting chief executive said it had been a "really difficult year" for the A&E department where numbers of patients had "increased significantly". "Those numbers haven't dropped over the summer at all," she said. "Normally we'd be able to improve our performance over the summer, but we haven't been able to do that. "We've had some very, very busy days." Ms Sherry said there were also problems with patients being unable to leave the hospital because local social services were also under pressure. People living in Reading are being urged to go for help elsewhere, such as local walk-in centres and urgent care centres.

Ronald Burton, 60, is accused of abusing one boy, who was aged between 11 and 13, from 1994 until 1996. It is further alleged he raped and sexually assaulted another male pupil, aged 13, in 2014. At the High Court in Glasgow, Mr Burton denied a total of seven charges against him. Judge Lady Scott set a trial due to begin in July. The two boys involved are listed on the indictment as being his pupils at the time. The charges also include claims that Mr Burton bought one child a gym membership and took him there. It is also alleged that during one attack, at the accused's home in East Kilbride, Mr Burton "did hypnotise the youngster or attempt to". He is further said to have supplied cannabis to the boy. The finale of the second series, starring Keeley Hawes and Vicky McClure, was watched by 4.1 million viewers last month. Writer Jed Mercurio said he was "profoundly grateful" to fans for making the show such a "talking point". Other commissions include a new series of James Corden's The Wrong Mans. Both Corden and co-creator Mathew Baynton were nominated for TV Baftas earlier this week for their performances in the comedy thriller. It is joined by a new comedy from Paul Whitehouse, based on the BBC Radio 4 series, Nurse. It will star Esther Coles as a community psychiatric nurse, with Whitehouse playing many of her patients or their relatives. Line of Duty - which revolves around a controversial police anti-corruption unit - will return for two more series of six hour-long episodes. "For series three and four, I can promise two explosive new cases for AC-12, new guest stars as police officers investigated for corruption, further twists and turns from the loose ends of series two, and maybe even some surprise reappearances," said creator Mercurio. Controller of BBC Drama, Ben Stephenson, said commissioning two more series of the "unique, powerful and gripping drama" was "the easiest decision I have made". A documentary series on foster carers, War In Afghanistan and natural history series Beyond Human have also been announced for BBC Two. The latter will explore how animals sense their world beyond human capabilities, focusing on a different sense in each episode. Meanwhile, The World Made By Women will explore 20,000 years of women's history - from Empress Wu Zeitan to Margaret Thatcher - while several other documentaries will also look at the role of women throughout history. They include a series on the suffragettes and a look at the Women's Institute, entitled The Real Calender Girls. Women also feature heavily in Radio 2's latest line-up of special presenters for the spring, with Carla Bruni, Scissor Sisters star Ana Matronic and Sheila Hancock all fronting their own shows.

Mr Jones unveiled the party's five pledges, including promises on the NHS, housing, schools and policing. The first minister said the general election should not be about Brexit but about "seven years of Tory failure". He defended his failure to mention Mr Corbyn, saying it was a Welsh launch. Mr Jones told activists at the event on Monday that Labour's achievement "knows no bounds" when it stands united. "We are in Welsh Labour together, councillors, MPs and AMs, we are united," he said. The Welsh Labour leader said the party had "repelled" Tory advances in the Conservative target areas of Flintshire, Newport and Swansea in last Thursday's local elections. "We did suffer some reversals. We'll learn from that," he said. He called on voters to send back a "battalion of Welsh Labour MPs", saying Welsh Labour made "no apology" for local campaigning and boasting of its achievements governing Wales. The party has five Welsh pledges for the election, three of which concern the devolved areas of health, education and housing: "This election has to be about seven years of Tory failure," Mr Jones said, claiming that austerity showed no sign of ending. "This is not the Brexit election," he insisted. "That was the referendum last year - a result I respect. I was a Remainer - so was Theresa May." Mr Jones claimed the prime minister had "no plan" for leaving the EU. "I know that all she is doing at the moment is posturing," he said. "We produced a plan, where's their plan?" Mr Corbyn visited Cardiff in April for a campaign rally shortly after the election was called. With the first minister by his side, he had urged a crowd of about 700 on Whitchurch Common to join him on a journey of "hope and excitement", praising Labour's record in power in Wales. Mr Jones told BBC Wales that the party leader was not mentioned at Monday's event "because it is Welsh Labour's campaign launch" which he himself was fronting. "It's pretty clear to people who would be prime minister if we got a majority," the first minister said, denying that he thought Mr Corbyn was an electoral hindrance. "We live in an age of devolution. That's why it's hugely important that parties put forward their Welsh pledges," he added. This is a clear strategy by Carwyn Jones' Welsh Labour to differentiate itself from Jeremy Corbyn's UK Labour party. You can see why - the focus on Welsh Labour is thought to have helped the party hold on to a number of councils last week, and helped it fight off the Tories in marginal seats in the assembly campaign last year. But how do you do it in a general election when it would not be Carwyn Jones walking into Downing Street but Jeremy Corbyn? The lack of focus on the UK leader by Labour stands in stark contrast to the Conservatives who seem to talk about the leadership of Theresa May in every other sentence. Wall Street followed European and Asian markets, which plunged after US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen warned growth in the US could be hit by global economic turmoil. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 254.56 points to 15,660.18. The S&P 500 fell 1.2% to 1,829.08 and the Nasdaq lost 0.4% to 4,266.84. Ms Yellen testified before a senate hearing for a second day on Thursday, saying she had no intention to follow European central banks and impose a negative interest rates. The Swedish central bank's move to further lower negative interest rates to -0.5% on Thursday added to fears over the banking sector. On Wednesday, Ms Yellen said the economic situation in the US was not as clear as it was in December, when the Fed raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan shares both fell 4.4%, while Bank of America shares were nearly 7% lower. Morgan Stanley shares were down 4.5%.

It issued an initial offer of shares on Thursday worth 7.5% of the bank. The Spanish government owns 68% of the lender, having injected it with 18bn euros (£14.8bn) of EU-funded aid when a property crash brought the country to the brink of financial collapse. Since then, Spain's biggest bailed-out bank has returned to profit, with shares up 29% so far this year. It made 512m euros in 2013, compared with a loss of 19.2bn euros the previous year - the biggest loss in Spanish corporate history. The government plans to sell off further small stakes this year, but no more than 18% in total, because it wants to maintain control for now. "This is truly a sign of the shift in perception and of the reality of our financial system," said Spain's Economy Minister Luis de Guindos. Bankia shares closed on Thursday at 1.58 euros each, implying a valuation of 1.36bn euros for the stake. Its bailout in 2012 was part of a 41bn-euro aid package from the European Union, designed to rescue Spain's financial system. The country was on the verge of defaulting on its debts, following the collapse of a long building and housing boom in 2008. Spain's surviving banks have been forced to take steep losses and move toxic assets into a so-called "bad bank" set up by the government.

Det Insp Lloyd Williams said: "As a result of our inquiries, our investigation has concluded and no further police action will be taken." The accident happened on the Kasai river - a tributary of the Congo River - in the western province of Bandundu. Information Minister Lambert Mende told the BBC the vessel had been overloaded and 80 people had been confirmed dead. After decades of conflict, DR Congo has few roads or rail links and many people travel on often overloaded boats. The latest accident occurred on Wednesday. Mr Mende told the BBC the river level had been low and the accident occurred when the overcrowded boat hit a mud bank. He told the AFP news agency that 76 survivors had been found and that the ferry had officially been carrying 180 passengers. But he said many more people are likely to have boarded the boat illegally. Several local officials have said about 140 people are believed to have died. The ferry was travelling to the capital Kinshasa from Mushie, about 30km (20 miles) from the town of Bandundu, AFP reports. Last November at least 73 people died when a boat sank on Lake Mai-Ndombe, also in Bandundu province. DR Congo - a country the size of western Europe - has only a few hundred kilometres of paved roads outside the cities, so the rivers are the main long-distance transport link for the majority of people who cannot afford to travel by air.

The 63-year-old Belgian was officially unveiled by the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) on Thursday as he signed a two-year contract. Broos has not managed at national team level before but insisted he is "not afraid" and demands to be respected. "I will never accept intrusion in my job as a coach. I am the coach and I take the decisions," he said. "It is the first time I will be training a national team and there is always a beginning but I hope for good results and I am not afraid to take the post. "I have always been passionate about African football and Cameroon has a rich football history having participated at World Cups and won the Africa Cup of Nations. "They have good players and this, coupled with the prospect of qualifying for and playing in two big competitions, was a big attraction." Fecafoot has set Broos two main objectives: to qualify the team for the 2017 Nations Cup and also for the 2018 World Cup. His first task is to prepare for the Cameroon's 2017 Nations qualifier against South Africa on 26 March. Broos admitted he will initially rely on Alexandre Belinga, who was the interim coach, for information and to get up to speed. And he will need to make a fast start to the job in order to win over some skeptical Cameroon fans who are unsure if he is the right man to lead the Indomitable Lions. Meanwhile, former Cameroon captain Rigobert Song has been appointed coach of Cameroon's national team for locally-based players. He replaces Martin Ndtoungou Mpile, who took the team to the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship in February. He was seriously injured after being struck by a Ford C-Max car while crossing Dumbarton Road, in Scotstoun, at about 21:25 on Sunday. Emergency services attended and the man was taken to the Western infirmary. Police said inquiries into the incident were continuing. The road was closed for several hours following the crash but has since re-opened.

Alpine coasters are normally located in ski resorts to provide an income during the summer - the world's longest is in the resort of Hoch-Imst, Austria. The company behind the scheme said this one would be the first of its kind in the UK. The warning by independent experts funded by the Cabinet Office came after they looked at deaths before 75 in 2011-12 in more than 200 local areas. In each area, the premature mortality rate was higher among those with mental health problems. But in 51 areas, it was judged to be "particularly worrying". It is well known that people with mental health problems die earlier. But this is the first time death rates have been analysed down to a local level. Overall, the premature death rate among those with mental health problems was 2.4 times higher than that of the general population. The review- by the Open Public Services Network, part of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce - said the physical health needs of people with mental health problems were not being addressed. The findings mirror a recent report by the Nuffield Trust think tank and come as NHS England is preparing to unveil its new strategy for mental health services. Report author Charlotte Alldritt said with one in six people suffering from a mental health problem each year it was vital the NHS improved services. "We need to narrow this gap across the board," she said. "Everywhere can do better, but the areas that are doing even worse than you would expect are particularly worrying. "What our research showed was that some of this is relatively easy to prevent. "It is about making sure they get basic checks for things such as diabetes and high cholesterol." Mental health cuts 'putting lives at risk' Why there is a mountain to climb on mental health Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter The report found that while suicide was undoubtedly a "significant" factor in the high number of early deaths, poor physical health was likely to be responsible for about two-thirds of it. Researchers looked at 200 different sources of data as part of their review and found those with mental illness were: Those identified with the very worst performance on premature deaths were the places where rates were above average and where there was the biggest difference between mortality in the general population and those with mental health problems. Many of these areas have high levels of deprivation, as would be expected, but a number of relatively affluent places were also flagged up. For example, Bath and North East Somerset, Wokingham and the London borough of Kingston all had premature death rates in the general population below the national average but high rates among those with mental illness. Paul Farmer, of the mental health charity Mind, said the report should act as a "wake-up call". "It is shocking that people with severe mental health problems die much younger than the general population, often from preventable conditions which ought be picked up through routine testing and screening," he added. Mental Health Minister Alistair Burt said the issues highlighted by the report were "really important" and needed addressing.

Maniac has been restricted to festival film screenings and academic viewing by government officials and will not be eligible for mainstream cinema or DVD release in the country. The film, directed by Frank Khalfoun, stars Wood as serial killer Frank. Neil Foley of distributor Monster Pictures said he was "flabbergasted". The director of the Australia-based company said the ban was an "insult to the intelligence" of adults in New Zealand. The film, which received a limited UK release in March, is due to screen at the New Zealand International Film Festival in Auckland and Wellington at the end of July. Ant Timpson, a programmer for the festival, said the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) was concerned that the movie was "injurious to the public good". "It's saying that the POV [point of view] nature of the film mixed with the psychopathic behaviour of actor Elijah Wood is more than disturbing, that it's potentially dangerous in the hands of the wrong person," Timpson suggested. The original version of Maniac, by slasher director William Lustig, was a cult hit when it was first released in 1980. The remake received mixed reviews in the UK press, with The Observer's Philipp French calling it "unwelcome". The Hollywood Reporter's Megan Lehmann said the film was a "sadistic art-house bloodbath" when it screened at Cannes in 2012. Monster Pictures said on its website that it would "explore every option" to have the ban revoked, though admitted "at this stage it ain't looking good". Changes have been made to the Reverend Philip North's ceremony because of his opposition to female bishops. The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said the arrangements were made "for prayer, not politics". The Reverend Anne Morris, who serves the same diocese as Mr North, replaced her sermon with the protest over the changes, at St Oswalds in Knuzden. Dr Sentamu, has said he will not take part in the "laying on of hands" - a traditional part of the ordination service - during Mr North's ceremony at York Minster in February. On Friday, he said his decision was not due to a "theology of taint". Some within the Church of England believe he would be "tainted" because he will be consecrating the Church's first woman bishop, the Reverend Libby Lane, as Bishop of Stockport on Monday, a week before Mr North's ceremony. However, Dr Sentamu said he had the power to "delegate" part of his role as chief consecrator, citing the examples of two traditionalist bishops he had consecrated "despite the fact that I have been ordaining women to the priesthood since I first became Bishop for Stepney in 1996". St Oswalds' church warden Alison Critchley said Ms Morris had been supported in her protest by parishioners and children at the church's Sunday school had also written letters to the bishop about the protest. She said women in the Church of England felt like "second class citizens in a church that should be united". "If [Mr North] wants that position in the Church, he should do it like everyone else does," she said. She added that she would not take communion from the bishop if he were to lead a service at the church. Discussing the issue on BBC Radio Lancashire, the Bishop of Blackburn, the Right Reverend Julian Henderson, said he believed the arrangements were correct. He said there was "space in the Church of England for different points of view, particularly in relation to the issue of women in leadership". He added the Diocese of Blackburn was a "place where people can come and thrive in their ministry, whether they are men or women". Source: Church of England

Genetic factors had a "substantial influence" on the risk of being convicted of a sex offence, it found. The study analysed data from 21,566 men convicted of sex offences in Sweden between 1973 and 2009. The findings could help prevent crime, said co-author Prof Seena Fazel from the University of Oxford. The study - by researchers from Oxford University and the Karolinska Institute, in Sweden - looked at the proportion of sexual offences carried out by sons and brothers of convicted male sex offenders. The authors then compared the data with the criminal records of men from the general Swedish population with similar age and family profiles. It found around 2.5% of brothers of convicted sex offenders were themselves convicted of sexual offences - compared with 0.5% of men in the general population. The study also looked at the sons of sexual offenders, and found they were nearly four times more likely than average to have committed a similar crime. Other studies in the past have assessed the link between familial relationships and the propensity to commit crime. One found that children of male violent offenders were about 3.5 times more likely than average to commit violent crimes themselves. In the latest study, genetic factors were found to have a "substantial influence on an increased risk of being convicted of sexual offences", Prof Fazel said. "It tells us something about why if we take two sets of brothers, whose backgrounds might look identical, one set has a higher risk of sexual offending than the other," he said. The analysis could help authorities target potential offenders, Prof Fazel said, adding: "At the moment genetic factors are typically ignored when it comes to making risk assessments of those at high risk of sexual offending." He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while a person's environment was a contributing factor to their risk of sexual offending, a person's genes could contribute about 30-50% of the risk. But the authors stressed the analysis did not mean someone with a brother or father convicted of rape would also go on to become a sex offender. "It's important to remember that it's nothing mystic," said Professor Niklas Langstrom, from the Karolinska Institute. "People get worried about the fact that there's a strong genetic component in problematic human behaviour. "Of course, you don't inherit in some kind of automatised robotic way so that you will grow up to be a sexual offender." Police said two men, aged 31 and 33, were victims of a serious assault on Renfield Street, in central Glasgow, at 03:15 on 19 October last year. The group of men which attacked them later boarded a taxi near Buchanan Street Bus Station. Police said they wanted to trace all six men pictured in the CCTV images. Det Con David Copeland, of Police Scotland, said: "This was an unprovoked attack on two men by a much larger group which left the victims with serious injuries. "This type of activity on what seems to be a night out cannot be tolerated. We seek the assistance of the public in tracking down those responsible." The men in the images are described as white, Scottish, in their late 20s or early 30s, of medium build, with one being of heavy build. Four men wore dark tops and jeans, one was wearing a yellow coloured t-shirt and another wore a white cardigan with dark sleeves. The other man was wearing a light coloured t-shirt. Det Con Copeland added: "One of the men wearing dark clothing was also wearing a green Robin Hood-type hat with a red feather at the left hand side. "Another male was wearing a Heidi-type blonde wig with plaits on either side. "I am particularly keen to trace the taxi driver who picked up a group of men from a taxi rank at Buchanan Street Bus Station at 0346 hours." Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

It was a first professional win for 23-year-old Dutchman Bouwman. This was the second of the first three stages to be won from the break, with Lotto-Soudal's Thomas de Gendt, winner on day one, doing enough to retain the overall race lead. Froome, the three-time winner of this race, crossed the line in 40th place. The sprint teams were hoping to dominate on the 184km stage from Le Chambon-sur-Lignon to Tullins, but miscalculated the strength of the six-man break, who held on in strong headwinds at the finish. LottoNL-Jumbo's Bouwman burst clear on the final straight to win ahead of Delko Marseille Provence's Evaldas Siskevicius, while stage two winner Arnaud Demare (FDJ) beat Bryan Coquard (Direct-Energie) in the battle for minor places at the front of the peloton 11 seconds later. 1.

Chief executive Doug McMillon will unveil the partnership with car-hailing services Uber and Lyft at Walmart's shareholder meeting later on Friday. The company said in a blog post that it expects the trial to start within the next two weeks. Walmart already offers an online grocery delivery service in 13 markets. Under the new partnership, Walmart customers can place a delivery online and a Walmart employee will then request a driver from Uber or Lyft, the blog post said. The driver will pick up the order and deliver it directly to the customer's location. Customers will be charged $7-10 for the service. The pilot will begin in Denver, Colorado and one other city, reportedly Phoenix, Arizona. Mr McMillon told investors in January that the company would focus on being more nimble as it announced the closure of 269 stories globally. The expansion of its delivery service will intensify competition with online retailer Amazon, which launched its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery business in the US in 2007.

The 55-year-old man is being held in connection with the death of Lisa Skidmore, whose body was found in a bed at the Wolverhampton property. Ms Skidmore's body was discovered on Thursday at Mill Croft, Bilston, where her mother, 80, was also found beaten unconscious, West Midlands Police said. The suspect, from Moseley, Birmingham, is currently in custody. Ms Skidmore, a senior staff nurse, had worked at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust for nearly 20 years, most recently based in the community. A post-mortem test on Friday confirmed she had been strangled. Last week, a spokesman for the NHS trust described her as a "kind, caring and compassionate nurse and an absolute credit to her profession". Det Supt Mark Payne, head of homicide investigations at West Midlands Police, said officers were alerted to her death by the ambulance service after the fire. He said it had been a "very confused scene" and it had taken some time, together with the post-mortem examination, "to understand exactly what went on". Officers believe Ms Skidmore was fatally attacked before the fire was started in the first-floor bedroom. Her mother, who police believe stumbled upon the intruder, was later taken to hospital with severe facial injuries. Det Supt Payne said Ms Skidmore lived alone but was part of a close family. He said the experience had been particularly "traumatic" for her mother and specialist officers were providing support. The latest scanning techniques were used to uncover a network of buildings at the 11th Century Old Sarum near Salisbury, Wiltshire. The results include a series of large structures, possibly defences, with open areas of ground behind possibly for mustering resources or people. Old Sarum was the original site of Salisbury, which is two miles away. Source: English Heritage It was originally an Iron Age fort, established around 400 BC, and occupied by the Romans after the conquest of Britain in AD 43. This latest survey of the site was carried out by the University of Southampton and concentrated on the inner and outer baileys of what would have been the fort. Other structures plotted on the plan include residential areas and industrial features such as kilns or furnaces. The university's director of archaeological prospection services, Kristian Strutt, said: "Archaeologists and historians have known for centuries that there was a medieval city at Old Sarum, but until now there has been no proper plan of the site. "Our survey shows where individual buildings are located and from this we can piece together a detailed picture of the urban plan within the city walls." He said the reinforcing of the entire outer bailey during the Middle Ages represented a "substantial urban centre" and more non-intrusive work was needed to build on this knowledge. The techniques used to survey the land included magnetometry, earth resistance, ground penetrating radar and electric resistivity tomography, which uses electrodes to probe underground. These new approaches are "exciting and innovative", according to Neil Holbrook from Cotswold Archaeology, and "could be applied pretty much anywhere". "The survey adds a whole new dimension to our understanding of a site which we thought we knew. In fact, there is so much more to be found out," he added. "The plan shows for the first time just how much other activity there was around the castle and cathedral which have long been known. It sets those monuments within the context of a bustling, vibrant town established shortly after the Norman conquest."

A spokesman for Mrs Merkel said the German leader "views such practices... as completely unacceptable". Mrs Merkel called on US officials to clarify the extent of their surveillance in Germany. The White House said President Obama had told Chancellor Merkel the US was not snooping on her communications. "The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday. The US has been on the receiving end of anger from allies over spying allegations based on material said to originate from fugitive American leaker Edward Snowden. By Nick BryantBBC News, Washington The language in the White House statement responding to allegations that the NSA monitored Angela Merkel's private mobile phone is deliberately precise. "The president assured the chancellor that the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel." It did not deny possible past surveillance on her phone. Clearly, Angela Merkel believes these allegations are plausible enough to confront directly Barack Obama, in what must have been an awkward conversation. Tonight at the White House there was supposed to be a state dinner for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. But she cancelled the visit last month following allegations that the NSA snooped on her personal communications. Only on Monday, President Obama had to reassure his French counterpart, Francois Hollande, over allegations published in Le Monde of electronic eavesdropping on French political figures and business leaders on a vast scale. The diplomatic backlash is getting fiercer by the day. Mr Carney told reporters that Washington was examining concerns from Germany as well as France and other American allies over US intelligence practices. But the spokesman did not address whether Mrs Merkel's phone had been monitored in the past. Berlin demanded "an immediate and comprehensive explanation" from Washington about what it said "would be a serious breach of trust". In a statement it said: "Among close friends and partners, as the Federal Republic of Germany and the US have been for decades, there should be no such monitoring of the communications of a head of government." The statement also said that Mrs Merkel had told Mr Obama: "Such practices must be prevented immediately." The BBC's Steve Evans in Berlin says because the statement was issued after the phone call, there were indications that Mrs Merkel had not been reassured. He says the issue of state monitoring of phone calls is a real one in Germany - Angela Merkel grew up in East Germany, where phone tapping was pervasive. President Obama had assured Chancellor Merkel when he visited in June that German citizens were not being spied upon and our correspondent says she was criticised then by political opponents for not being more sceptical. The German government would not elaborate on how it received the tip about the alleged US spying. But news magazine Der Spiegel, which has published stories based on material from Edward Snowden, said the information had come from its investigations. Leaks timeline Mrs Merkel's call comes a day after US intelligence chief James Clapper denied reports that American spies had recorded data from 70 million phone calls in France in a single 30-day period. He said a report in Le Monde newspaper had contained "misleading information". A number of US allies have expressed anger over the Snowden-based spying allegations. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff cancelled a visit to the US this month in protest at alleged electronic espionage by the NSA against her country, including of communications at her office. In a speech at the United Nations, she rejected arguments put forward by the US that the interception of information was aimed at protecting nations against terrorism, drugs trafficking and other organised crime. The Mexican government has called the alleged spying on the emails of two presidents, Enrique Pena Nieto - the incumbent - and Felipe Calderon, as "unacceptable". US officials have begun a review of American intelligence gathering amid the international outcry. The pair were sent to the stands in the 11th minute of the first leg at Fratton Park after allegedly using improper language and/or behaviour.

All nine members of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to keep rates at their record low, where they have now been for over seven years. The Bank warned uncertainty over the EU referendum could cause "some softening" in growth in the first half of 2016. It said sterling had also been affected by the uncertainty ahead of the vote. "There are some signs that uncertainty relating to the EU referendum has begun to weigh on certain areas of activity, as some decisions, including on capital expenditure and commercial property transactions, are being postponed pending the outcome of the vote," policymakers said in their minutes of the meeting. "This might lead to some softening in growth during the first half of 2016." The Bank warned that a vote to leave the EU might result in "an extended period of uncertainty about the economic outlook, including about the prospects for export growth". "This uncertainty would be likely to push down on demand in the short run... (and) have significant implications for asset prices, in particular the exchange rate," it said. The Bank also said sterling had fallen further over the past month mostly due to uncertainty ahead of the EU referendum, but suggested it may recover if the UK votes to stay in the EU. Last month, Bank of England governor Mark Carney said the possibility of Britain leaving the EU was the "biggest domestic risk to financial stability". The Bank's warning comes just days after the International Monetary Fund warned the UK's exit from the European Union could cause "severe regional and global damage". It said a so-called "Brexit" would disrupt established trading relationships and cause "major challenges" for both the UK and the rest of Europe. Chris Williamson, chief economist at financial information firm Markit, said the Bank's minutes had brought "fresh signs of how uncertainty regarding the June vote on the UK's membership of the EU was already unsettling business confidence". "Brexit concerns appear to be exacerbating existing worries about the extent to which UK and global demand remains worryingly fragile. "It's highly likely, therefore, that the second quarter could see growth slow further, possibly considerably if anxiety about the referendum intensifies, turning the focus to the possible need for more stimulus," he added. Matthew Elliott, the chief executive of Vote Leave, the main campaign group for a so-called Brexit, said the "safe option" was to vote leave. "The risk of voting remain is one that even the Bank of England acknowledges. Britain's economic and physical security is put at risk by our membership of a declining political union where we are constantly outvoted and our trade is held back," he said.

The Bank of England has warned the EU referendum could hurt growth in the first half of this year as it held interest rates at 0.5%. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Who said romance is dead?

The number was lower than expected and is a sharp slowdown from December, when 292,000 jobs were added. Job losses in transport and education weighed on the numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. Last week, figures showed that US economic growth slowed to an annual rate 0.7% in the final three months of 2015, from 2% in the previous quarter. Trading on Wall Street suggests investors are concerned that the slowdown in job creation could be a further sign of a weakening US economy. The main Dow Jones closed down 215 points, or 1.3%, at 16.201.75. But some analysts focused on the positive - that weaker job numbers meant another rise in interest rates was unlikely for now. "I'm a little surprised the markets reacted somewhat negatively to it," said Sean Lynch at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. "It is actually a pretty good number that should be welcomed by the equity markets, it takes some of the concern the Fed moves too quickly off the table a little bit." President Obama highlighted the low unemployment rate as he plugged aspects of his spending bill to be proposed next week. He plans to push for greater investment in clean energy, where jobs growth has been strong. The president acknowledged that there was still anxiety among Americans, but said the US economy was "stronger and more durable" then before the financial crisis. Retailing saw the highest number of jobs created in January, at 58,000, with healthcare adding 37,000 and manufacturing 29,000. Some 39,000 jobs were lost in private education services, however, with a further 20,000 lost in transport and warehousing. The net job creation pushed the unemployment rate below 5% - where it had stood for the previous three months - to its lowest level since early 2008. The labour participation rate was unchanged, suggesting fewer people are dropping out of the labour market - a key problem during the financial crisis. The average hourly rate rose by 12 cents, or 0.5%, to $25.39, which Greg Anderson at BMO Capital Markets described as "shockingly good". They say they received the plan late on Thursday - just two hours before a midnight deadline. They will now study it ahead of EU meetings at the weekend. Greece's lenders had demanded tax and pension reforms in return for funds. The indebted country needs a third bailout to avoid a default and a possible exit from the euro.

Earlier, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras spent the day seeking agreement on the reforms from his government partners. On Friday, the Greek parliament will vote on Mr Tsipras' proposals. The plan will be then considered by eurozone finance ministers on Saturday, and by EU leaders at a summit in Brussels on Sunday. Crisis triggers memories of World War Two All Greek to you?

People placed candles and flowers in the snow in a makeshift memorial outside the La Loche Community School in Saskatchewan province, where two people were killed and seven were wounded. A teacher's assistant who was killed was described as "a fantastic person". Two teenagers were also shot dead by the gunman in a house. A 17-year-old boy was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder on Saturday. Police said the male suspect cannot be named under Canada's Youth Criminal Justice Act. It happened in the Dene aboriginal community of La Loche - the Dene are a First Nation group who inhabit the northern parts of Canada. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Supt Maureen Levy said the suspect was arrested outside the school. Marie Janvier, an educational assistant, was identified by her boyfriend Deegan Park as one of those killed at the school. He said: "She was that much of a great person to turn me right from all the wrongdoings I used to do. She was a fantastic person." Ashton Lemaigre, a teaching colleague at the school, said Ms Janvier was hoping to get her teaching degree and she was very kind to the children. "The kids loved having her around," said Ms Lemaigre. "They would just come running to her. And she was just a friend to everybody." A second victim was identified as Adam Wood, a new teacher at the school.

It follows an incident in Castlefields, Oswestry, Shropshire, on 23 January in which an unidentified 43-year-old man suffered serious stab wounds, police said. Telmo Bernardo, 18, from Glan Gors in Wrexham, appeared before magistrates in Telford. He was remanded in custody to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court on 8 February. Luke Adam Cross, 22, of Mount View in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, was remanded in custody earlier and will reappear on 29 February. A 51-year-old man from Welshpool and a 19-year-old from Wrexham have been released on police bail while enquiries continue, West Mercia Police said. "Go uptown? Forget it.

And so it was, in the city that doesn't sleep, the taxi drivers were going home early to bed. Another week, another city, another dead black man, another grand jury and another white policeman not indicted. Oh, and another new chant. Ten days ago in Ferguson, Missouri, it was "hands up don't shoot" after an unarmed black teenager was gunned down because according to some he had his arms up. In New York it was "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" after the horrible video was released of Eric Garner speaking his final words, as this 350lb giant of a man was held in an apparent chokehold by an NYPD officer. Now if the defence of Darren Wilson, the police officer in Ferguson, tested the credulity of the African American community - that he felt his life was in danger from Michael Brown - what possible justification can be offered for Daniel Pantaleo's deadly grip on Eric Garner in Staten Island? The mobile footage somehow contrives to show the utter banality of this death. This was no high-speed car chase, shoot-out death. This was an amiable-looking black guy on a summer's day, standing, talking to a bunch of policemen in shorts - in shorts for goodness sake! - refusing to comply with their orders but hardly posing a threat either. Anyway, no need to describe it further as I am sure that anyone reading this has already seen the video and its unhappy denouement. But unlike in Ferguson where it seemed the federal government was not quite sure what to do initially - aside from appealing for calm - this time they were quick out of the blocks. US Attorney General Eric Holder went on TV to announce that federal prosecutors would look at whether Mr Garner's civil rights had been infringed. In other words, Mr Pantaleo could still be prosecuted. As a way of defusing tension, it was probably a very smart move. There was no repeat of the looting and rioting that came after the Michael Brown decision. Politically it was astute. But will the federal government in Washington succeed in bringing an indictment where a Staten Island grand jury failed? That's the key question now And the evidence is far from clear. I remember a senior British politician who in a previous life had been an eminent lawyer telling me you don't win a case just because something looks really, really bad. While anyone looking at the video of the chokehold has probably a very clear view of how bad it was, that doesn't mean it's an open and shut case legally. There will be minute examination of the judgements made during the arrest. Did Mr Garner offer any resistance; how much pressure was applied in the neck hold? Was it unreasonable force? Was the inability to breathe because of Mr Garner's asthma rather than the force of the hold? Did Officer Pantaleo try to resuscitate him? Will prosecutors be able to demonstrate wilfulness on the part of the officer, the high standard of intent required by the Supreme Court. Of course it is being stressed by the justice department that the federal investigation would be fair, thorough and expeditious. But the will of the politicians is clear - they want a prosecution. Otherwise the conclusion will be that a man can be choked to death on a street in New York in plain view, with video evidence - with no consequence. And few would think that would be the criminal justice system's finest hour.

Iain Cameron, from Stirling, spends his spare time monitoring snow levels in Scotland from one winter to the next, and has spent the past 22 years travelling the country in pursuit of his curious hobby. While walking on Scotland's highest mountain with fellow amateur researcher Alistair Todd in July, the pair happened upon an unusual natural phenomenon - a snow tunnel. "They are caused by water which burrows through the snow drift initially, creating a little tunnel," Mr Cameron said. "Then wind begins to blow through the space and starts to expand the tunnel. "They begin as a couple of feet wide and get larger as the warmer air begins to eat away at the snow and melt it." He added: "The further into summer we get, the bigger the tunnels get. You're eventually able to walk through them, like I did in these photographs." The tunnels are not a new discovery, but Mr Cameron said they only occur in specific areas where snow lasts into the summer months. He said: "There are very few places in Scotland you get these tunnels, but they tend to form in the same places pretty much every year and at the same time." "We don't actively look for the tunnels, they're just a bonus." Despite Mr Cameron's snow-exploring experience, he still gets a little anxious. "It's very weird to think that there are hundreds or even thousands of tons of snow above your head. It can be quite disconcerting but we're very sensible and take precautions," he said. "It's a surreal experience, being inside the tunnels. Some of them are completely jaw-dropping." He plans to return to Ben Nevis in August when he said he expected the tunnels to be "even bigger and better". As summer turns to autumn, the tunnels continue to expand before finally collapsing. Mr Cameron said: "After August, the tunnels will eventually become 'bridges' as they continue to expand. The snow is being melted from below, by the wind, and also from above, from the sunlight. "The snow gets thinner and thinner and eventually collapses, and melts." When snowfall begins again later in the year, the cycle is reborn. Mr Cameron's research involves monitoring patches of snow across the country, taking pictures and measuring them. His findings are then put into reports which are published by the Royal Meteorological Society. Last year, he recorded the most surviving patches of snow in more than 20 years, but Mr Cameron insists he is no expert. "I do this in my own time - I have a day job. I'm an amateur, not an academic."

Media playback is not supported on this device All-rounder Stokes, 25, has been suffering from a knee problem but bowled in practice on Wednesday. "I certainly see him bowling," said England captain Eoin Morgan. Morgan also confirmed Chris Woakes is fit and Jason Roy will retain his place opening the batting. All-rounder Woakes missed the final two matches of the 2-1 series win against South Africa with a muscle problem, while Roy has been struggling for form. However, Morgan stated that the Surrey batsman will be playing on his home ground of The Oval and that he "cannot see it changing" throughout the tournament, despite the recent good form of Jonny Bairstow. Stokes showed signs of his knee problem in the first ODI against South Africa last week and despite making a century in the second ODI, only bowled three overs. He then sat out the final game at Lord's on Monday as England were thrashed by seven wickets. "It's a very strange injury in that it's only in his delivery stride that he feels the pain," added Morgan, who said that Stokes would play as a batsman alone if he was not fit to bowl. The Irishman also stated that Stokes is unlikely to bowl 10 overs, but the Durham man has only bowled his full allocation in an ODI on three occasions in the past two years. England, who have never won a global 50-over trophy, begin the eight-team tournament as favourites with the bookmakers only 15 months after a shambolic World Cup campaign that saw them eliminated in the first round. They are joined in Group A by Australia and New Zealand, the two World Cup finalists, with the top two teams progressing to the semi-finals. Since that tournament, Morgan's men have lost only three of their 11 one-day series, with their success based heavily on a powerful batting unit that has posted totals in excess of 300 on 21 occasions. "We need to bring our 'A' game in order to win. If at the end of it we're holding the trophy then we will have played really well," said Morgan. "It's about delivering in every game." England's World Cup exit was confirmed by a defeat against Bangladesh in Adelaide, and the symmetry of facing the same opponents in this tournament was acknowledged by Morgan. "Since then we have been on a huge upward curve," he said. "We have had a group of players that have bought into a way of playing and have executed it really well. "It's been an absolute pleasure to work with this group of players." Media playback is not supported on this device Bangladesh are playing in the Champions Trophy for the first time since it was trimmed to eight teams in 2009. They qualified through the International Cricket Council's ODI rankings, denying West Indies, and have since climbed to sixth on that list - only one place behind England. "We have played good cricket over the past two or three years," said captain Mashrafe Mortaza. "Our cricket is moving in the right direction and we have to continue the good things that we are doing. "We know on our day we can beat anybody. We have to start well." The pace bowler admitted his side were facing a different England to the one they beat in 2015, but said that more pressure would be on the hosts. "England are a totally different team. Over the past two years they have won almost everything. At home they are a serious side," said Mortaza. "They feel more pressure than us because they want the trophy, especially with this happening in their home."

The body of the 18-year-old was discovered in the village of Five Roads, near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, on Monday at about 15:30 BST. Police said they were investigating but were not treating the death as suspicious. The coroner has been informed and an inquest into the death has been opened and adjourned.

Club captain McShane returned from injury as Reading beat Burton 4-2 on Sunday to guarantee third place. "There's a massive three weeks ahead of us and this is where the hard work starts," the Republic of Ireland international told BBC Radio Berkshire. "It's definitely exciting. You want to be part of these moments as a player." Reading will face Fulham in the play-off semi-finals, with the first leg at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 13 May and the return on Tuesday, 16 May at the Madejski Stadium. "It's going to be a great atmosphere as Craven Cottage is a smaller stadium with the crowd close to the pitch," McShane said. "We're looking forward to playing them again and the only way you can enjoy the play-offs is by winning them." Reading will hope for better fortunes in the first leg than their past two visits to Craven Cottage, where they finished on the wrong end of 5-0 and 4-2 scorelines. "It's a clean slate and a different ball game," McShane added. "We've come a long way since those two games. "We're just looking forward to the challenge and the final goal, which is getting to the Premier League." Kenneth Hall, 49, from Bridgwater, Somerset, sold details about killers held at the hospital to the News Of The World and Mirror newspapers. They included Robert Ashman, who attacked MP Nigel Jones and killed his assistant with a samurai sword in 2000. Hall pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office at the Old Bailey and will be sentenced next month. The offences took place between 29 June 2002 and 6 October 2004. Hall's wife Karen, who was also a nurse at Broadmoor, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the commissioning of the offence by allowing money she knew her husband was getting by selling stories to go into her account. The mother-of-three did not sell any stories or disclose any confidential information herself, and was sentenced to five months in jail suspended for one year on Tuesday. The Old Bailey heard how Hall made thousands of pounds selling stories to a freelance reporter, Anna Gekoski, who often worked for the News Of The World. He later also made contact with a reporter at the Mirror. Prosecutor Stuart Biggs said Hall "was both providing care and treatment to patients with mental health illnesses and personality disorders" when he sold the stories. "And so he had responsibilities in respect of the risk they posed to each other, themselves and the community." The court heard that Hall smuggled out patient notes relating to Ashman, leading to a number of stories, including one headlined, "Samurai Nut Could Be Free In 18 Months". Mr Biggs said Hall also forged notes when he could not smuggle the originals out of the hospital. In an email to Ms Gekoski, from 19 September 2003, Hall wrote: "Hope it goes in as a lot of work went into getting copies of those." But the prosecutor said: "Many of the contents are fabricated. There is sometimes some truth, and sometimes there is more truth, but there is at least exaggeration. "In this case it's a complete fabrication." Hall also pleaded guilty to forgery. Mr Biggs said: "In two different ways the public official abused his position. "He had the credibility of the newspaper to create false documents, and he, on the rare occasions he was able, took out of the hospital a true document, with obvious sensitive and confidential information." Sentencing Mrs Hall, who suffers from poor mental health and walks with a stick, Judge Timothy Pontius said it was a "tragedy" to see her in court. But he said that in knowing her husband was making money by selling confidential information, she had encouraged the offending. The judge told Hall, meanwhile, that a prison sentence "must be uppermost in the court's mind". He was bailed to return to the Old Bailey for sentencing on 26 June.
