The Guinea-born Frenchman, 26, was with Cercle Brugge in Belgium last season and previously played in France. Richie Foran's Inverness have yet to register a point in this season's Scottish Premiership and have been knocked out of the League Cup. They host St Johnstone in their fourth league game of the season on Saturday. The boy, thought to be aged in his mid-teens, was discovered by police in Roebourne Way, North Woolwich, on Friday at about 22:45 BST. He was treated by paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim was taken to hospital after being found in nearby Claremont Close. Police said his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. No arrests have been made. Scotland Yard said they were in the process of informing the teenager's next of kin and a post-mortem examination would take place "in due course".

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have signed forward Lonsana Doumbouya on a two-year deal. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A teenager has died and a man, thought to be in his 20s, is injured after they were shot near London City Airport.

Most recently Burnley's sporting director, McParland, 56, was previously chief scout at Liverpool and worked with Raheem Sterling and Jordan Ibe. He also had a spell as Brentford director of football when Rangers boss Mark Warburton was at Griffin Park. The Ibrox side are currently top of the Scottish Championship, with nine wins out of nine and host Queen of the South on Saturday. "New benchmarks and standards must be set both on and off the field of play, and everyone at Rangers wishes Frank the very best in his new role," Rangers said on their website. "McParland is the latest appointment to be made at Rangers as the club strives to modernise, move forward and return to the highest echelons of the game." Dembele - who made headlines in October when he played for Celtic's development team - came off the bench as England beat Turkey 5-2 at St George's Park. He recently appeared for Scotland's Under-16 side in the Victory Shield. He is also eligible to play for Ivory Coast and will not be tied to a national team until he makes a competitive senior appearance. After Saturday's game, Dembele posted a message on Instagram that read: "Good experience at England, glad to have won 5-2 against Turkey and have assisted one, played well."

Rangers have appointed Frank McParland as their new head of recruitment. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Celtic's 13-year-old forward Karamoko Dembele made his debut for England Under-15s on Saturday.

Ackerson Meadow features wetlands and rolling hills that are home to endangered wildlife, park officials quoted by AP news agency said. The land, on Yosemite's western boundary, was bought for the park by conservation group the Trust for Public Land for $2.3m (£1.7m). Yosemite National Park covers about 1,200 sq miles of mountainous scenery. It attracts millions of visitors every year and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2015. The new addition, which was traditionally used for logging and grazing cattle, will be preserved as habitat for wildlife including the endangered great grey owl, the largest owl in North America, the officials said. The land had been owned since 2006 by Robin and Nancy Wainwright. Mr Wainwright said that by selling it to the trust, they had passed up a lucrative offer from a developer which had wanted to build a resort. He said he had often seen bears strolling through the meadow and owls over fields of wildflowers in the spring. Mr Wainwright said he hadn't wanted that experience to be available only to visitors who could afford to stay in a resort. "To have that accessible by everyone, to me is just a great thing. It was worth losing a little bit of money for that," he added. Park spokesman Scott Gediman said Yosemite's boundary had seen some minor changes over the years but the addition of Ackerson Meadow was the largest expansion since 1949. He said the Trust for Public Land had put up $1.53m for the purchase with the Yosemite Conservancy and anonymous donors making up the rest. Sexton, 30, was taken off in Leinster's European Champions Cup loss to Wasps last Saturday, but has passed the required tests to return to training. "Johnny trained really well yesterday, he is ready to go," said Schmidt. Ireland and Leinster confirmed that Sexton did not suffer a concussion against Wasps. The Irish start their attempt to win a third successive championship with a home match against Wales on 7 February. Sexton missed Ireland's Six Nations opener against Italy last year after being stood down from all rugby for 12 weeks after a series of concussions in a short space of time. Coach Schmidt has responded to suggestions influential playmaker Sexton should consider quitting the sport to preserve his long-term health. Schmidt branded those calls "a disappointment", frustrated that observers outside the Ireland camp had questioned expert medical opinion. "It was this time last year that the problem really arose and he had the break," added Schmidt. "Since that time he hasn't really had too many problems. "As we're concerned and as far as Johnny's concerned, he is very keen to be ready to go in 11 days' time. "All we can do is go on the medical opinion, and he had two of the best guys that are around, who made some decisions for him last year and have followed up since then," said Schmidt. "When they give him the all-clear we've got a lot of trust in them." Praising Leinster for withdrawing Sexton as a precaution in the weekend's heavy defeat at Wasps, Schmidt said Ireland took head injuries extremely seriously. The 6ft 8in, 22 stone lock played in three Premiership games for Sarries earlier this season after joining on a short-term deal from Super Rugby side Warratahs. The 24-year-old has won 18 Test caps for the Wallabies. "In a very short space of time here his contribution to the side was superb," head coach Mark McCall said. "There's still so much more to come from him, which is incredibly exciting for us as he is already a proven international player." Skelton will be unable to add to his Test caps while with Saracens, as the Australian Rugby Union prevents overseas players with fewer than 60 caps from playing for the national side. "Not being able to pull on the gold jersey while I am playing in England has made the decision especially difficult, but this is about family as much as it is football," Skelton told the club website. "One day I'd love to play for Australia again and if that opportunity comes up I will give everything I've got for my country."

Yosemite National Park in California is to gain a 400-acre addition, its largest expansion in nearly 70 years. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Jonathan Sexton is fully fit to start Ireland's Six Nations campaign after another head injury scare, coach Joe Schmidt said on Wednesday. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Premiership club Saracens have re-signed Australia international lock Will Skelton on a two-year contract.

Mr Farry accused the SDLP of "gesture" politics after it sought to amend a motion by the Finance Minister. Mr Wilson's supply resolutions would give the Executive the legal authority to unlock billions of pounds in the block grant. But the SDLP is seeking to amend the motion. Mr Farry said the only "honest and coherent" approach for the SDLP is to leave the Executive. The SDLP amendment seeks to divert more than £20m from various departments in a bid to cut travel overheads and consultancy fees. The party has yet to support the draft budget. The SDLP's Alban Maginness challenged Mr Farry on his own party's stance. He pointed out that the Alliance leader and Justice Minister, David Ford, had supported a budget which Mr Farry described as "full of holes". The new Civil Sheriff Appeal Court will hear appeals on civil cases from local courts which are typically less serious than those escalated to the Court of Session. The move is part of a series of Scottish government reforms to ensure cases are heard in the right courts. A similar appeal court for criminal cases was opened in September 2015. The Criminal Sheriff Appeal Court ran into trouble after some solicitors vowed to boycott it over levels of legal aid fees. A Sheriff Personal Injury Court and a Scottish Sentencing Council have also been set up in a bid to speed up the Scottish justice system. Community safety and legal affairs minister Paul Wheelhouse said the changes would help "reduce unnecessary delays". He said: "We want to create a modern justice system that is fair, accessible and efficient and meets the needs of the people of Scotland. These reforms are a key part of our aims. "The new Civil Sheriff Appeal Court will ensure that civil appeals are heard swiftly and efficiently at the appropriate level, reducing the number of such cases that require to be dealt with in the Court of Session." Routine appeals from small claims and summary cases will be heard by a single sheriff at local courts, while more serious appeals requiring a bench of three appeal sheriffs will sit in Edinburgh. The announcement was made on the same day Lord Carloway was officially installed as Lord President of the Court of Session, Scotland's most senior judge. Earlier this month, Fifa president Gianni Infantino proposed a 48-team tournament consisting of 16 groups of three countries each. The European Club Association (ECA) say the number of games played in a year is already at an "unacceptable level". "We urge Fifa not to increase the number of World Cup participants," said ECA chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Fifa's council will discuss Infantino's proposal at a meeting on 9 January but the 46-year-old made expansion part of his election manifesto because he wants to allow more countries the chance to compete at football's flagship event. The number of teams competing at a World Cup last increased in 1998 when the tournament expanded from 24 to 32 countries but any change to the current structure would not be likely to take effect before the 2026 World Cup. Rummenigge added: "We have to focus on the sport again. Politics and commerce should not be the exclusive priority in football." The ECA represents more than 200 clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Alliance MLA Stephen Farry has challenged the SDLP to quit the Executive if it cannot support the draft budget. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A new appeal court to examine disputed civil cases from Scotland's sheriff courts has been set up.

Barking and Dagenham had the highest overall abortion rate, at 29 for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. Health bosses from the east London borough said they had worked hard to bring down teenage pregnancy rates. Data from the Department of Health revealed wide regional variations. Knowsley in Merseyside had the highest rate outside London. The Department of Health said the total number of abortions was "fairly constant" at 185,824 in 2015, a rise of 0.7% on the year before. In some areas, almost half of all cases were "repeat" abortions. The highest rate was among 20 to 24-year-olds, with 53 abortions for every 1,000 women. Other London boroughs with higher abortion rates were Lewisham, Waltham Forest, Croydon, Enfield, Newham and Southwark. The lowest overall rates were Derbyshire, Bath and North East Somerset and Cambridgeshire, where the figure was 10 abortions for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. Croydon had the highest rate of repeat abortions, with almost half of all procedures being at least the second termination performed on the patient. Repeat abortions accounted for 49% of the 2,023 abortions performed in the borough in 2015. Devon saw the lowest rate of repeat abortions, 27% of procedures. Rachel Flowers, director of public health at Croydon Council, said: "Overall, Croydon's number of abortions is falling. Women who require an abortion are seeking help earlier, which is better for their health." The council said repeat abortions were more common among women and couples who had not been able "to find a method of contraception that suits them or their beliefs and attitudes; consider abortion to be a method of contraception; have mental health issues or low awareness of contraceptive options". Since 2005, abortion rates for women aged 30 to 34 in England and Wales have gone up from 14.5 per 1,000 women to 17.1 in 2015 - an 18% rise. Ann Furedi, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, said: "The proportion of women having abortions who are in partnerships or married has increased markedly over the last decade, and more than half of women having abortions are already mothers." Ms Furedi said the charity saw many women who underestimated their risk of getting pregnant, particularly as they got older. "We need to ensure women have access to good, evidence-based information on fertility that gives them the knowledge they need to make the reproductive decisions that are right for them across their lifetimes," she added. A Barking and Dagenham Council spokesman said: "We have had some dramatic success recently in reducing teenage pregnancy rates. "We have seen a 19 per cent drop in last year's rate, meaning we no longer have the worst rate in London. "Clearly there is more to be done but we believe we are on the right road in helping residents and young people to access greater opportunities for a more prosperous, happy life." The vote was due in November but electoral officials say more time is needed to register voters. The proposal is part of a deal to be signed on Tuesday at the end of talks, boycotted by main opposition parties. It came as the Constitutional Court approved a request from the electoral commission to delay the polls. President Joseph Kabila's second and final term comes to an end in December and he is under pressure to step down. Last month, protests against moves to delay the poll resulted in at least 50 deaths. DR Congo has never had a smooth transfer of power since independence more than 55 years ago. Mr Kabila took power in 2001 following the assassination of his father, Laurent Kabila, and the constitution bars him from running for office again. Last month, the US imposed sanctions on two senior security officials allied to President Kabila. It accused army Gen Gabriel Amisi Kumba and John Numbi, a former police chief, of threatening the country's stability by suppressing the opposition. In his inauguration speech, Obama told the American people to "seize the moment", laying down his vision for the next four years.

It says surrogacy would be available "only for Indian couples". India is called the "surrogacy hub" of the world, where infertile couples, including many from overseas, hire the wombs of local women to carry their embryos through to birth. But there have been growing concerns over what is an unregulated business. This had prompted a petition in the Supreme Court, which last month ordered the government to spell out plans for regulating the industry. "The government does not support commercial surrogacy and also the scope of surrogacy is limited to Indian married infertile couples only and not to the foreigners," the government said in an affidavit to the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Existing rules say foreign couples seeking to enter into a surrogacy arrangement in India must be a "man and woman [who] are duly married and the marriage should be sustained at least two years". The government said it would require some time to introduce the law. "[It is] in the process of bringing a comprehensive legal framework for not only protecting the rights of surrogate mother but also for prohibiting and penalising commercial surrogacy," the affidavit presented to the court by Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar said. Commercial surrogacy is estimated to be worth more than $1bn (£65m) a year in India. Correspondents say good medical technology, low cost and a lack of regulation have made the country a hub of surrogacy services. India has one-third of the world's poorest people and critics argue that poverty is a major factor in the women's decision to become a surrogate. The 22-year-old American could not make the 130lbs limit at Friday's weigh-in, forcing him to relinquish his title - and Fonseca would have claimed the belt with victory in Las Vegas. Davis showboated early on before being rocked in the seventh round. But a left hook in the eighth left the Costa Rican unable to answer the count. However, it seemed to land on the back of Fonseca's neck. Davis had set his man up with a good straight right moments earlier, but his telling punch drew boos when replays were shown. To add to the hostility, he knelt next to Fonseca as he lay on the floor. Davis, who needed three attempts to make weight when he defended the IBF strap against Britain's Liam Walsh in London in May, tweeted an apology to his fans for missing the weight. The Baltimore-born fighter, one of the sport's most promising talents, put the error down to being "young" and "growing", adding he would win the title again. Some of his repertoire was on show against Fonseca, producing savage uppercuts and hooks in round three before weaving with his hands behind his back in round four. Fonseca, 23, had never lost in 20 bouts before arriving at the T-Mobile Arena and he battled gamely, notably when a savage right hook flustered Davis to the ropes in the seventh. But Davis recovered, the straight right and a body shot softening his rival up for the finish and a 19th win in 19 fights.

The Indian government has said it plans to ban surrogate services for foreigners wanting babies in a move which will hit a thriving industry. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Gervonta Davis scored a controversial stoppage win over Francisco Fonseca 24 hours after losing his IBF world super-featherweight title at the scales.

The battle started in July 1940 and by its end 544 RAF Fighter Command pilots and 2,500 Luftwaffe aircrew had died. A Hurricane, Spitfire and a Lancaster bomber flew over Jurby earlier as part of the Festival of Jurby. The Lancaster is one of only two left flying in the world - the other is in Canada. Organisers said it was one of the "most evocative and emotional aviation sights" in remembrance of "the few who defended our skies during the Summer of 1940". The fly-past was organised to coincide with this year's Vintage Motor Cycle Club Festival of Jurby. Festival organisers said it commemorated all those who had lost their lives serving in the RAF, or its predecessor the Royal Flying Corps. The BBMF is a regular RAF unit, manned by service personnel and funded by the Ministry of Defence. A total of 2,585 aircrew died during the four-month battle and 1,977 aircraft were destroyed. Tens of thousands of posts demanded that the island be reunified with the mainland, under Beijing's control. Meanwhile, China conducted military drills on its coast opposite Taiwan. Ms Tsai and her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a landslide victory in presidential and parliamentary elections on Saturday. The DPP is broadly supportive of independence from China. Beijing considers Taiwan a breakaway province that must one day be brought back under mainland control. It is concerned that Taiwan may declare formal independence although Ms Tsai has not declared herself in favour of such a move. Ms Tsai brushed off the Facebook campaign on Thursday, saying: "The greatness of this country lies in how every single person can exercise their rights." Her party, too, said they "respected" those who exercised freedom of speech. Most of the posters wrote in the simplified Chinese characters used on the mainland, as opposed to the traditional characters used in Taiwan. Many repeatedly spammed Ms Tsai's Facebook page with a series of Chinese Communist Party slogans known as the "eight honours and eight shames", which among other things encourages "love for the motherland". Access to Facebook and most major Western social media sites are officially blocked in mainland China - although technologically savvy users often circumvent the restrictions. The irony was not lost on Taiwanese Facebook posters, who sarcastically congratulated the mainland critics on bypassing the firewall. Observers say the comments appear to be part of a campaign organised from China although it is not clear by whom. Chinese officials have been known to pay online commentators to post opinions supportive of government policies. Some experts have estimated that China employs about 250,000 "paid commenters". China said it had carried out live-fire landing drills at its base in Xiamen, near the Taiwan-controlled island of Kinmen, "in recent days". The drills involved the use of long-range rockets and amphibious tanks, Chinese state TV said, without giving more details. Steve Lin, an official from Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, which manages the island's affairs with China, described the drills as "very bad news". "We'll raise our military deployment, and at the same time we'll deal with it via reasonable dialogue with the Chinese side," he said in quotes carried by Reuters news agency. Ms Tsai says she wants peaceful relations with China. The island has ruled itself since Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled there in 1949 after being defeated by Communist forces in the civil war.

26 September 2016 Last updated at 12:22 BST They are currently under threat though due to poaching, with tens of thousands being killed every year for their tusks. Their tusks are made of ivory, which is considered valuable in many countries. World leaders are meeting in South Africa to discuss how to tackle the problem of elephants being killed for their tusks. Some people are worried that if more is not done, then there could soon be no more elephants left in the world. The 74-year-old was the last of the Fab Four to be inducted as a solo artist, where he was hailed as "one of the greatest and most creative drummers". "Finally, I'm invited and I love it," he said at the ceremony. He was introduced by fellow Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and together they performed their 1967 hit, With A Little Help From My Friends. While inducting his former bandmate, Sir Paul said he could always rely on Starr to perform on every song. "You don't have to look with Ringo - he's there," he said. Starr was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of the Beatles in 1988. Although he was the last band member to be recognised for his solo efforts, Starr was the first to establish a career following the band's split in 1970, releasing two albums and scoring two top five songs within a year. He has released 18 solo studio albums, including his latest - Postcards From Paradise - released earlier this month. Among the other honourees at the ceremony were singer Bill Withers, rock band Green Day, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and Lou Reed - who died in 2013. Green Day were inducted in their first year of eligibility - which rules state must be 25 years after the release of an artist's first record. Withers was inducted by Stevie Wonder, who said he would often hear Withers' music and say: "I wish I could have written that song," before performing the singer's hit Ain't No Sunshine. Jett - who was inducted by Miley Cyrus - opened the show with her rock hit Bad Reputation, and was joined by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl for a performance of Cherry Bomb. Musician Patti Smith inducted Reed and thanked him for "brutally and benevolently injecting poetry into your music". The ceremony will be broadcast in the US on HBO on 30 May.

Winston Rea was one of dozens of former paramilitaries who provided testimonies to Boston College's Belfast Project. A judge was told the police needed tapes of Mr Rea's interviews in order to meet a legal duty to probe serious crimes spanning three decades. Mr Rea had issued proceedings to try to stop the PSNI obtaining the material. However, on Monday a judge said the police were entitled to seek the tapes as part of an extensive investigation into terrorism. Mr Rea's legal team is considering taking the case to the Court of Appeal. The Boston College interviews were given on the understanding that tapes would not be made public until after the deaths of the interviewees. However, in 2013 detectives investigating the 1972 abduction and murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville secured transcripts of former IRA woman Dolours Price's account. That material was handed over following court battles on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr Rea, a former loyalist prisoner, had sought to judicially review the Public Prosecution Service's (PPS) attempts to obtain his interviews. The concert at the Excelsior Stadium - the home of Airdrieonians FC - will take place on 24 June next year. Securing a date on the Wonderful Crazy Night tour was hailed as "a major coup" for the club, stadium and town. Sir Elton is not a stranger to touring across Scotland, having played Kilmarnock in 2005, Inverness in 2007, Perth in 2008 and Falkirk in 2012. Excelsior Stadium owner Paul Hetherington and Tom Wotherspoon, owner of Airdrieonians FC, said in joint statement: "To have secured Airdrie FC's ground as the only Scottish venue of Sir Elton John's 2017 UK tour is something we should all take pride in. "This will be a night to remember for all of us. Indeed, a wonderful, crazy night in our town." The three other dates on the tour will see performances in Derby, Birmingham and Leeds.

The vehicle has since travelled more than 5km (three miles) as it heads towards the mission's primary target - the foothills of the huge mountain that dominates Mars’ Gale crater. The rock drill was spun at a scientific waypoint known as "The Kimberley". New pictures sent back to Earth on Wednesday, taken by the rover’s Mahli “hand lens”, show a sharply defined hole surrounded by a pile of grey powder. Before turning the tool, the robot had been commanded to examine several rock targets with all its survey instruments. Scientists and engineers must now assess the qualities of the powder produced. If past practice is followed, this will have been a test. Assuming it has gone satisfactorily, the rover will then acquire a second drill sample for ingesting in the robot's on-board laboratories. Curiosity last used its drill in May last year in a small depression not far from its August 2012 landing site. The samples pulled up from mudstones at the bottom of this shallow bowl contained evidence of an ancient lake. From the rock chemistry, scientists were able to determine the type of environment that existed in Gale Crater billions of years ago. The researchers said the conditions would have allowed micro-organisms to flourish had they been present. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

Richard McPhee, 35, held up the Day Today shop in Drip Road on 25 November. A court was told that McPhee brandished the knife at 27-year-old Lilita Mierina and forced her to open the till. McPhee, also of Stirling, admitted a charge of armed robbery at the High Court in Edinburgh before judge Lord Boyd. Officers recognised McPhee from Ms Mierina's description and he was arrested the following day. Sentence was deferred for reports until 30 March. The Swiss lender put on hold a plan to sell shares in its domestic banking business and posted a first quarter profit of 596m Swiss francs. That compares with a 302m Swiss franc loss a year ago. Swiss banks are under pressure from regulators to boost capital to protect them from financial shocks. The bank raised about 6bn francs from shareholders in 2015. As well as asking its owners for cash to mend its balance sheet, Credit Suisse has said it is in the middle of a 5,500 job-cutting programme. Raising the new money will increase its tier-one leverage ratio - how much capital it has to absorb losses from lending as a percentage of its total lending - to about 5.1%, it said. Bernstein analyst Chirantan Barua said: "The capital raise should be enough to allay concerns in the near term, but doesn't really give the franchise the flexibility to see it through a downturn or meaningfully compete in global markets. "We feel this raise doesn't really take capital totally out of the concern zone." Mr Barua had estimated that the bank would raise 5bn Swiss francs. Earlier this month, Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam and the bank's board of directors offered to cut their bonuses by 40%. The Swiss bank has posted two straight years of losses, but its top 12 executives were awarded 78m Swiss francs in pay this year. Credit Suisse investors are set to meet on 28 April. Under Swiss law, they get a binding annual vote on executive pay. The capital raising will be voted on at another meeting on 18 May. London-based lender Standard Chartered, also reporting results, said profits almost doubled in the first quarter after losses from bad loans declined. The bank posted a pre-tax profit of $1bn (£780m), up from $589m in the same period a year ago. The bank set aside $198m for bad loans, less than the $500m expected by analysts. "This is an encouraging first quarter but we are not getting carried away," said chief financial officer Andy Halford. Harry Gurney (3-61), James Pattinson and Steven Mullaney took wickets after rain delayed play until 17:45 BST. Darren Stevens (31) was hit on the head by a Gurney bouncer, and lasted only seven more balls before retiring hurt. Adam Rouse (18 not out) and Adam Milne (27 not out) saw Kent to the close on 214-7, with a narrow lead of 23 runs. Joe Weatherley (16), who acted as 12th man for the first two days, replaced Sam Billings, who made 39 on day two but has now left the game to link up with England Lions. Notts fast bowler Harry Gurney told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I think the forecast is ok, so we'll hope to come back and finish it off. "In an ideal world we would have liked to have done it tonight, but you can't have it your own way every time." On the delivery which hit Darren Stevens on the head: "He came in and was playing some shots, so I tried to make life unpleasant for him because he's not a spring chicken any more. "I ran in and bowled a bouncer and caught him on the head, which as a bowler is tricky because you want to intimidate the batsman and encourage them to make a mistake. "Stevo is a mate of mine and it wasn't nice to see him down on the deck like that, but I've just seen him and he's ok." Kent head coach Matt Walker on Darren Stevens: "Darren won't take any further part in the game. Early assessment suggests concussion. "He's struggling with a bit of vision in his left eye and he's got a raging headache. "We'll get him off to hospital and get him checked out because he's not 100% at all."

The NHS South West review into the way health authorities commissioned the private hospital services, is about to be signed off, the BBC understands. The home was closed six months ago after Panorama filmed abuse of patients with learning disabilities. The NHS said the claims about the report's contents were "misleading". "It is premature to speculate on the findings of the NHS review which has not been finalised," a statement said. The report is expected to raise concerns about the lack of detail in any contracts between primary care trusts and Castlebeck. According to BBC West health correspondent Matthew Hill, the report said the contracts had no built-in mechanisms to say how quality could be assured. Owner Castlebeck said it was "committed to learning lessons". "We haven't had the opportunity to see the report at this stage so are not aware of its content." They added they would be "acting on those lessons to make improvements to services wherever they are needed". The programme showed patients at Winterbourne View being pinned down, slapped and taunted. The report by the NHS will feed into the ongoing serious case review, which is being conducted by South Gloucestershire Council. That is expected to be published in the New Year. Thirteen people have been arrested and released on bail until 28 November in connection with the alleged abuse, pending further inquiries. Winterbourne View's 24 patients were transferred from the hospital when it was closed, in June. The report is also expected to raise concerns that families were unable to freely visit their relatives, and were restricted to seeing them in the reception area. Steve Sollars, whose 22-year-old son Sam was in Winterbourne View for two years up to 2010, said he felt what was happening at the home was being "hidden". "At first they were fine they were good. They would let us go onto the floor where he was and I'd get to know other patients there. "And then all of a sudden, for no reason, it was stopped. There was no explanation. No reason, they just said you're not allowed on the ward," he said. Mr Sollars said after he was banned from seeing him in the ward they would meet and he "didn't seem right in himself". "We didn't know how he was being looked after. We know Sam could be messy but we didn't know what he was going to be like. We didn't know upstairs what was going on. "So we feel now, after this programme, were things being hidden? Were there things they didn't want us to see?" Mr Sollars said since Sam had moved he was "absolutely fantastic" - "improved so much that you wouldn't believe".

Motorcyclist Kevin Morgan, 60, from Cwmbran, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash between Coldra and Usk at 11:15 BST on Saturday. His white Kawasaki was in collision with a black BMW car. Specialist officers from Gwent Police are supporting Mr Morgan's family. Officers from the roads policing unit are investigating and anyone with information can call 101 quoting log 202 21/06/14. Doughty brought down Marcus Maddison, who converted from the spot to give Posh a 12th-minute lead. Nicky Ajose levelled for the visitors with his 20th goal of the season with a fine free-kick that had Posh keeper Stu Moore well beaten on his debut in goal. Late on, Doughty struck a left-footed shot to seal three points for Swindon. Moore went straight into the Peterborough side after signing on a 28-day loan deal from Reading, but could not stop Posh losing a fourth-straight game. Graham Westley's side slip to 15th in the League One table, while Swindon move up three places to 12th following the victory. The 25-year old becomes the sixth player to be retained by the Devils, who were runners-up in last season's Elite Ice Hockey League. The Devils have also retained Jake Morissette, Ben Bowns, Mark Richardson, Joey Martin and Josh Batch. "Jones is a great skater. His skating ability is his best asset," said coach Andrew Lord. An animal welfare officer spotted the dead doe lying on a road near Cromer, Norfolk, last week. When he saw its stomach still moving, he grabbed a knife from his vehicle and removed the female fawn. While initially signs looked good for its survival, it took a turn for the worse earlier this week. "It's been very distressing," said the investigator, who wishes to remain anonymous. "We're all upset. We put a lot of effort in to try and save it and it's not nice when something like this does happen." Following the Caesarean in the middle of the night, the fawn was taken to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Frettenham to be checked-over and given medication. It then lived at the home of its rescuer where it was regularly fed and monitored. But because it was born about a month early, the investigator said it was never certain whether it would live for long and it died on Wednesday. "It was premature and perhaps it was also affected by the impact on its mum," said the investigator. "The circumstances were extraordinary. We put all our efforts in and unfortunately it didn't win the battle."

Colby resident John Donald Collister left his estate to the Manx nation following his death aged 93 in 2007. He worked as a painter after serving with the Manx Regiment in Crete and north Africa during World War II. MNH Director Edmund Southworth said the suggestions about how to put the money to use were wide-ranging. He added: "We are delighted with the breadth of feedback received from across the island with suggestions ranging from the display of Mr Collister's World War II memorabilia to supporting community projects, gardening projects, building conservation and wildlife projects, amongst many other things." MNH first became aware it had been mentioned as a beneficiary in 2011. Mr Southworth said it had first heard the news in July when the administrator issued a claim in the High Court seeking the assistance of the court in the interpretation of Mr Collister's will. "In many ways he was an ordinary man but this is an extraordinary story," said Mr Southworth. "History books are all about kings and queens and the ordinary man tends not to appear, but we now have an opportunity to change that, so that Mr Collister will be remembered for what he had done for this island." Media playback is not supported on this device Almost 30,000 of you chose your top three moments, from a list compiled by a panel of our tennis experts, to help us celebrate 90 years of the BBC at Wimbledon. And the results, revealed during a Radio 5 live programme, are in. The best moment at Wimbledon - with 64% of users placing it in their top three - is Andy Murray winning his maiden title in 2013 and ending Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's intense final in the dark back in 2008 came second, with Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe's epic 1980 final coming third. Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash: "It was one of the greatest moments in tennis history - a Briton winning Wimbledon. The atmosphere was phenomenal. "Wherever you went, there was this tension, this expectation of "can he do it?" You can't understand the pressure he had with 77 years of history on his back. It takes one hell of a tough kid to do that." BBC commentator Barry Davies: "Andy Murray does thoroughly deserve to win. It has to be a Briton winning it. And he might now do what Fred Perry did, and win it three times." Former British number one Sam Smith: "There are not many times when you're watching something that you want to watch, but you can't. "During the final game I had to go in my study and pace about. If I'm feeling that, what must Judy Murray and his family been going through? It was the match you couldn't bear to watch, and yet you had to." Media playback is not supported on this device The computers were loaded with footage linked to 31 investigations, the Information Commissioner's Office said. They were taken as footage was being edited for use in criminal proceedings. Many of the cases involved sexual and violent offences, and some related to historical allegations against a high-profile individual, the ICO added. Stephen Eckersley, head of enforcement at the ICO, said the CPS had been "complacent". The CPS said it had strengthened arrangements to prevent further incidents. The computers were being kept in a residential flat in Manchester, which was being used as a studio, when it was burgled in September 2014. Although the machines were password protected, the ICO said the data was not encrypted and the flat had insufficient security. Mr Eckersley said: "Handling videos of police interviews containing highly sensitive personal data is central to what the CPS does. "The CPS was aware of the graphic and distressing nature of the personal data contained in the videos, but was complacent in protecting that information." The laptops were recovered after eight days and the burglar apprehended, the ICO said. It said it was not aware of anyone else accessing the material. A CPS spokesperson said the incident was a matter of "real regret". The spokesperson added: "It is vital that victims of crime feel confident that breaches like this will not happen and, following a full review after this incident, we have strengthened the arrangements for the safe and secure handling of sensitive material." The probe also found the CPS had used the same film company since 2002. DVDs which were not encrypted were delivered using a courier firm. In urgent cases, an editor would collect DVDs from the CPS and take them to the studio using public transport. The ICO found this was an ongoing contravention of the Data Protection Act.

Police said they were called to "an industrial incident" at Fresco Environmental Ltd in Widnes, Cheshire, at about 14:30 GMT on Tuesday. The 27-year-old man was taken from the Everite Road premises to hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival, Cheshire Constabulary said. They have launched a full investigation with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The ad says: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel Defeat Jihad." New York's transportation agency barred the ads citing demeaning language. But a judge ruled in July for the American Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), the group behind the campaign. The FDI has been battling to display the ad since it was refused by the New York authorities last year. Aaron Donovan, spokesman for New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), told the BBC they had no choice but to run the ad. "Our hands are tied," he said. "The MTA is subject to a court-ordered injunction that prohibits application of the MTA's existing no-demeaning ad standard. "That standard restricted publication of ads that demean people on the basis of their race, sex, religion, national origin or other group classification. The judge recognised our intention but found our attempt to be constitutionally deficient." Mr Donovan added that the MTA might consider changing its regulations at a board meeting next week. Manhattan district judge Paul Engelmayer said in his July ruling that the language in the FDI ad was protected under the constitution's First Amendment right to free speech. Pamela Geller, executive director of the FDI, said: "I'm glad to see that the freedom of speech has finally prevailed." Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the BBC that "this and similar advertisements are designed to promote anti-Muslim bigotry". He pointed out that the FDI has been listed as a hate-group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group. The ads have also appeared on San Francisco's public transport system. In response, the transit authority ran anti-bigotry ads next to the FDI's. According to the New York Times, the FDI has bought space to run the ads in Washington DC metro stations. But the local transport authorities have deferred display of the ad, citing concerns for public safety "given current world events". Protests have erupted in several countries in response to an amateur video mocking Islam. A total of 30 people have died in seven countries as a result of the protests, including four US diplomats.

In a new report, it said most North Koreans also lacked access to basic healthcare or sanitation. Diarrhoea and pneumonia are the two main causes of death for children under five, the report said. Humanitarian needs had been exacerbated by "recurrent natural hazards", such as frequent floods and drought. "Amidst political tensions, an estimated 18 million people across DPRK [North Korea] continue to suffer from food insecurity and undernutrition, as well as a lack of access to basic services," the UN report said. "Furthermore, 10.5 million people, or 41% of the total population, are undernourished." Isolated North Korea, which has a population of about 25 million, has faced significant food shortages for years. Hundreds of thousands are believed to have died during a widespread famine in the 1990s. The UN report said the situation had improved since then, "in part as a result of humanitarian assistance". However, two-thirds of North Koreans still depend on food being distributed by the state. The UN report said rations of items such as cereals and potatoes had been reduced from 380g per person per day to just 300g for several months last year. "Fluctuations over the year are normal," it said, but added that state "rations are consistently lower than the government target of an average of 573g per person per day". North Korea is heavily sanctioned under UN resolutions for its nuclear and missile tests. The report said international sanctions had affected humanitarian efforts, making it more difficult for agencies to transfer funds and equipment. It also noted a "radical decline in donor funding since 2012". "As a result agencies have been forced to significantly reduce the assistance they provide. Consequently, critical needs of some of the most vulnerable have not been met. "More predictable funding is urgently required to ensure the immediate needs of the most vulnerable are addressed." Despite losing Terry Campese to injury, Lunt's brace on his return from a calf strain put Rovers 10-0 at half-time. Kieran Dixon and Ben Cockayne then went in for the visitors before Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Carl Ablett responded. Further tries from Mitch Allgood and Robbie Mulhern ensured Rovers moved above Leeds to 10th in the table. Victory is Hull KR's second of the season following James Webster's appointment as interim head coach last month. The defeat is Leeds' third in a row and leaves them second from bottom.

Dixon ran in from 80 metres to add to Rhinos' woes after the break before Lunt put Cockayne over.

Ministers hope the new paramedics will work with "greater autonomy" in the community and prevent "unnecessary" admissions to hospital. Training begins this year for 200 new paramedics who will be recruited from existing ambulance staff. The Scottish government said it was spending £5m on the training this year. Ambulance technicians who are recruited into the paramedic training will have their posts backfilled. Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell said: "The Scottish Ambulance Service provides support to communities the length and breadth of the country - not just responding to emergencies but also helping to facilitate planned and unscheduled care. "That is why we are committing, over the next five years, to train 1,000 new paramedics equipped with the skills and abilities to support people in their local communities." The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) launched a new vocational qualification course in April, which the service said made the course more accessible. All the training is carried out at Glasgow Caledonian University. Pauline Howie, chief executive of the SAS, said: "This year we are recruiting and training over 200 new paramedics in the first phase of a five-year plan for continued investment in frontline resources. "Our 'Towards 2020' strategy aims to provide the most appropriate care to every patient, whether at home or in the hospital and in order to achieve this we will continue to enhance the clinical skills of our staff and introduce new ways of working to best meet the needs of patients in all of our communities." In the biggest event so far in the Easter Rising commemorative programme, school pupils are raising the Irish flag and reading the proclamation. Some pupils have written new proclamations, setting out their visions and ideals for the future. The event is the culmination of months of work by pupils and teachers. Almost every school child in the country will be a participant, having played a part in drawing up their school's proclamation for a new generation. School principals have said the initiative has captured the imagination of students in a way they did not expect, with many pupils addressing topical issues such as homelessness in the new proclamations. As well as the raising of the flag and the reading of proclamations, schools have developed their own individual programmes for the day, with poetry, music and pageantry. Leitch-Smith, 26, the Valiants' top scorer in 2015-16 with 12 goals in 43 games, rejected a contract offer. Northern Ireland international McGivern, also 26, was released by Vale, having played 32 times last term. In addition, Swiss goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler, 27, has signed a new two-year deal with the Shropshire side. Leutwiler has played 90 times during his two years at Shrewsbury, who finished 20th in League One after being promoted from the fourth tier in 2014-15. "The environment and everything to do with Shrewsbury is very important to me," he said. "That was a massive factor in me re-signing here." Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon has now signed three Port Vale players in little over a week, following the arrival of Louis Dodds. Leitch-Smith, who came through Crewe's youth system, joins up again with another former Alex Academy product, defender Matt Tootle, who missed over half of last season, having been sidelined by an Achilles injury. "The manager is very ambitious," said Leitch-Smith. "And so are the type of players he is bringing in at the minute." Mellon has now made six summer signings, having also brought in Fleetwood winger Antoni Sarcevic, Southend midfielder Gary Deegan. and Rochdale defender Oliver Lancashire.

But the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) said the deal between radio giant Clear Channel and the Big Machine label was not enough. RIAA chairman Cary Sherman said an "industry-wide solution" was required. The US radio industry has long resisted paying royalties for sound recordings, saying its airplay boosts record sales. Songwriters and song publishers currently receive royalties when their compositions are played on US terrestrial radio, but there is no equivalent law for labels and performers to be paid for the sound recordings. Speaking to a Congress committee hearing on the future of audio, Mr Sherman said: "We're obviously delighted that the biggest radio group has acknowledged that something should be done and has actually gone and done something. "That's a breakthrough. We've been advocating for this for about 80 years. But we need an industry-wide solution, not a label-by-label piecemeal solution." Copyright for a song is split into two - one right for the songwriters and another for the musicians who perform on the recording. The composition of the music and lyrics is owned by the songwriters and publishers. The sound recording is owned by the performers and record label. Songwriters and publishers are paid when their songs are played on US radio. But the US is one of the few countries where the performers and label are not paid when the recording is aired on terrestrial radio. Big Machine's artists include country superstars Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw. Jazz bassist and composer Ben Allison, speaking to the committee, said: "Terrestrial broadcasters have an inexplicable 'free ride' when it comes to performance royalties." He described the radio industry as "the only business in America that can legally use another's intellectual property without permission or compensation". But the National Association of Broadcasters [NAB], which represents radio stations, said there was no need for legislation. "NAB remains steadfastly opposed to a government-mandated performance tax on local radio stations," a statement from NAB said. Broadcasters have argued that their airplay provides promotion for musicians and the extra financial pressure could force many stations to close. A law that would have entitled rights owners to compensation was proposed in Congress in 2009. Attempts by broadcasters and the record industry to agree a framework for the payment broke down and the plan has not made it into legislation. In the UK, music rights society PPL distributes radio and TV airplay royalties to performers. But under UK copyright law, US musicians who performed on a track recorded in the US do not get paid for British terrestrial radio airplay. Jon Webster, chief executive of the UK's Music Managers' Forum, said: "In the UK, PPL undertakes the process of ensuring 4,000 record labels and 45,000 performers get the correct amount of income after they have negotiated deals with each rights user. A collective solution is best for everyone." They were drawn in the same qualifying group for the competition, which will take place in France. Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are also together in a group, while Scotland will face competition from Switzerland. Altogether 24 teams will take part in the finals of the competition, which will be held in June 2019. The qualifying matches will take place between 11 September 2017 and 4 September 2018.

It happened about 21.55 BST on the Glen Road on Sunday. The driver picked up three men in his Skoda Superb, who asked to be taken to New Lodge Road. There they became involved in an argument with another man. One of the passengers pointed what police have said was a suspected firearm at the taxi driver. They then ordered the driver to return them to Glen Road where they then made off at about 22:30 BST. The taxi driver was not injured but was left shaken. Police are appealing for witnesses. The Children's Society suggests that an estimated 2.4 million children in England and Wales live in households with problem debt. They were at greater risk of having poor mental health than those in debt-free homes, the charity said. The government said free debt advice was aimed at helping those in need. The Children's Society said that the problem was particularly acute for families trying to juggle a number of debts, leading to calls from bailiffs, utility firms and councils. Debt meant that some children were unable to socialise or take part in events like sports or school trips and could miss out on birthdays, family gatherings and holidays, according to the society's Damage of Debt report. Youngsters also felt embarrassed for not owning things that were considered normal by their classmates. There could also be guilt, anxiety and a sense of failure for being unable to help parents deal with their debts. They might also have to live with family arguments. The society wants families to be given time to deal with debts, a point also raised by other debt charities. A government spokesman said: "The number of children living in workless households is at a record low, but we know financial difficulties can put pressure on the entire family, including children, so we want to do more. "That is why the government-sponsored Money Advice Service spends £45m a year to help people with free debt advice which helped to deliver 380,000 free face-to-face sessions. "This is backed up by our historic £1.4bn investment into improving children's mental health services and we are supporting schools to teach children about mental health and wellbeing." The 67-year-old was criticised when he attempted to introduce a new tier for Premier League second teams between League Two and the Conference in a bid to develop young English talent. That plan was rejected by the Football League and prompted some protests from supporters. However, Dyke told politicians: "The game is not over yet." Dyke made his comments to a Culture Media and Sport (CMS) Select Committee on Tuesday as part of their probe into the bidding process for the 2022 World Cup, which was awarded to Qatar. It was pointed out to Dyke that many of the Germany side that won the World Cup had played for B teams and he was asked if he felt he "could not win" following the dismissal of his proposal in June. "I don't rule it out," he said. "A lot of Premier League clubs and particularly managers read the report and were totally in favour of the analysis." Dyke added that there were too many "bog-standard" foreign players in the Premier League and claimed that in Germany's Bundesliga there was an "unwritten agreement" about the numbers of domestic players that play in it to get around European employment laws. He was also asked if there had been a review into England manager Roy Hodgson's performance as his side exited the World Cup at the group stage. "I think he's been on holiday," said Dyke, before adding: "I thought Roy Hodgson did quite a good job." Dyke was also asked if he thought England would never win another World Cup. "Never say never," he said. "But it's difficult - 33% of players in the Premier League are qualified to play for England. "Really in the top six clubs last year it was down to 23%. If you look at transfer activity this year - apart from a couple of Southampton players that have gone to Liverpool or United - everyone else that has come in has come from overseas. "It's going to get tougher and tougher until we do something about it." On the subject of world governing body Fifa, Dyke added that England would not bid for another World Cup while Sepp Blatter remained president and jokingly referred to a June meeting of Fifa's congress as "like something out of North Korea - hail to the leader".

The 17-year-old girl had been brought to Sydney in early April by a man who offered her work as a cleaner, New South Wales Police said. She was allegedly taken to a house and sexually assaulted by "a number of men" until her escape on 27 April. Police officers from human trafficking and sex crime squads are investigating. The teenager told police she fled the unknown location before being picked up by a woman who drove her to a community centre. She was taken to hospital for medical treatment. The girl told police she had met a man in Guinea in January and he offered her employment. The pair travelled to Australia via Paris over several days in April. Police are searching for the teenager's alleged attackers and the woman who went to her aid. The knee-length knickers were one of a number of lots to go the hammer at the sale at Westernhanger Auctioneers near Folkestone in Kent. The auctioneer said the overseas buyer of the "very large" underwear wished to remain anonymous. A pair of silk stockings, also worn by Britain's longest-serving monarch, sold for £1,100. Auctioneer Michael Hogben said: "The items are very large. "She wore them towards the end of her life when she had eaten a lot more than most people could afford to." He said the bloomers were from about 1890. He added: "When Queen Victoria died she gifted a lot of her under-linen to her loyal servants. "These bloomers have been in a Kent family for more than 80 years. "These are some of the most interesting items I have auctioned in my 40-year career." Mr Black, 52, a father of two from Cookstown, was shot dead on the M1 motorway as he travelled to work at Maghaberry Prison in November 2012. Sean McVeigh, of Victoria Street, Lurgan, County Armagh, had been charged with his murder. That charge and another of possessing an assault rifle with the intent to endanger life were dropped on Tuesday. A lawyer from the Public Prosecution Service told Craigavon Magistrates' Court: "The charges in this matter are to be withdrawn. "No prosecution has been directed." District judge Mervyn Bates told Mr McVeigh that he was free to go. "As far as this matter is concerned you may be released from custody," he said. "This case is now at an end." Mr McVeigh is to sue the PPS and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) for the time he has spent in custody. When he was first arrested and charged in February, Mr McVeigh's lawyers had requested that the PPS review the case as they said there was no evidence against their client. Two other people have been charged in connection with the murder of David Black.

In September 2016 the Utility Regulator determined how much Northern Ireland's three gas networks could charge over the next six years. That decision meant Firmus customers could expect their bills to be cut by an average of £15 a year. Firmus appealed that decision to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was unsuccessful. Utility Regulator Chief Executive Jenny Pyper said: "The true winners are local gas consumers." "Our price control package would have reduced Firmus energy's tariffs by £15 per annum for the average domestic consumer and by tens of thousands of pounds for the larger industrial consumers. "The CMA's determination means that at this time, Firmus energy does not receive any increase in its allowances above those identified in our price control and associated licence modifications. "All utilities are entitled to a return on their investment but this must be commensurate with the risks that the business and its shareholder face and should not expose business and household consumers to further costs that impact on bills." Firmus said its decision to appeal to the CMA was not taken lightly and "was done with the best long-term interests in mind for the natural gas consumer in Northern Ireland". The company appealed on a total of 12 issues - nine of which were rejected. One issue has been referred back to the regulator which may result in future adjustments - upwards or downwards. The Consumer Council welcomed the appeal's outcome, and urged the CMA to decide who should pay its costs - which it said were likely to be substantial. "The Consumer Council are seeking assurances from the CMA that the costs of the process will not fall unfairly to consumers and will be proportionately paid by Firmus Energy," said Consumer Council Chief Executive John French. The Bees finished 10th last season, losing two of their last nine games. Brentford's most costly summer signing was the reported £1.8m spent on Exeter's Ollie Watkins, £14m less than Wolves paid for midfielder Ruben Neves. "I think the quality of the football that we play, the entertainment value that I think we give out, is reason for optimism," Smith told BBC Radio London. "You look at Middlesbrough and what they've spent so far and Aston Villa and what they can spend and Hull City have just come down - all these clubs have means that we could only dream of to get to the Premier League. "But we still quietly believe that we can go and compete with them on an even keel on the football pitch when it's 11 v 11 and that's something that transfers to the players as well." The west London club are entering their fourth Championship season having enjoyed three successive top-10 finishes. "I'd be disappointed and feel that we hadn't recruited well if the players aren't putting pressure on themselves as well, and they can all feel that pressure, but they're players who thrive on it," Smith said. "We've got a lot of players now who've played a lot of games in the champ and they know what it's about and they're looking forward to the season."

The man was left with a head injury after his pug-type dog "bolted across the road" in Low Road, Dovercourt on Monday evening, Essex Police said. The dog walker, aged in his 60s, went home but began feeling unwell and died later in hospital. Police appealed to anyone who saw the man before or after the crash. The dog was not harmed, a force spokesman said. Following an appeal, the woman driving the car, who stopped to get the dog walker's details after his pet's lead caused damage to her vehicle, came forward to speak to police. Director general David Anderson told the assembly's culture committee he feared a loss of effectiveness. The Welsh Government is looking to merge the commercial functions of both bodies under the banner Historic Wales. Economy Secretary Ken Skates has said that he wants to see the institutions become more financially resilient. Mr Anderson told AMs on Wednesday: "If we lose management control of key functions we are being tied by the legs at that point. "It becomes very hard to be effective as an entity", he added. He said while it may look as though only certain functions are being taken, commercial activity and core work are "deeply integrated with each other", citing the example of a recent dinosaur project. Mr Anderson questioned how good it would be as a way of resolving financial problems - he said the organisation had had its budget cut by 33% in real terms since 2010. Mr Anderson said the process of drawing up the report which led to the proposals for Historic Wales was also "problematic". A steering group has been set up by Mr Skates to look at the Historic Wales plan and examine whether to include other organisations, such as the National Library of Wales. But Mr Anderson suggested that a decision was made already on the plans going ahead. He said that "if the statement has been made that Historic Wales will be created and its said to be a manifesto commitment by government, and also that it will merge most of the commercial functions of the museum and Cadw, those look very much like decisions, as opposed to open reviewing of options". Bethan Jenkins asked for clarification that Mr Anderson was not against the creation of another body "but that you would be concerned that it would between Cadw and taking away your commercial functions as opposed to discussing the whole mix of the heritage sector in Wales". Mr Anderson said she was right. The museum has warned the Welsh Government to respect its independence, while the proposals have attracted criticism from the UK museum sector. Former Arts Council of Wales chairman Dai Smith also said he was alarmed by the plan. Darco Sangermano, 28, had been taken to hospital in Naples for emergency treatment after being hit by a stray bullet during New Year's Eve celebrations. The bullet passed behind his right eye and lodged in his nostril, but miraculously did no serious damage. He is expected to make a full recovery, doctors say. Mr Sangermano had spent New Year's Eve with his girlfriend in Naples. As the city sky exploded in a traditional celebration of fireworks, firecrackers - and the occasional high-spirited blast of firearms - he was wandering the streets when a stray .22 calibre bullet struck him on the side of the head, behind his right eye. Bleeding heavily, he was rushed to hospital. But while he was waiting for doctors he sneezed - and the bullet popped out of his right nostril. Doctors say it had been slowed down when it hit his skull - which almost certainly saved his sight, as well as his life. Mr Sangermano is expected to undergo laser surgery on his right eye's damaged retina. Paul Groom, 48, died in hospital on 10 December after he was found at his home in Fazakerley, Liverpool, earlier in the week.

Five detainees took control of a residential unit at Oberstown Youth Detention Centre after keys were taken from a member of staff. The detainees were joined by three others, and gained access to the roof. A fire began on the roof at 20:00 BST causing extensive damage to the building. Six fire engines were used as rescue workers battled the flames, said the Dublin Fire Brigade. A Garda (Irish police) emergency response unit and ambulances also attended the scene. A Garda police investigation is under way into the cause of the fire. The detention centre had been operating with minimum staff coverage due to strike action, said its director, Pat Bergin. A number of staff had came to the assistance of colleagues from the picket line, but the strike action continued, added Mr Bergin. Irish Minister for Children Katherine Zappone has ordered a report following the fire, called on the facility's staff, management and the unions to resume discussions to resolve their industrial relations dispute as soon as possible. Bats and golf clubs Earlier this month, five detainees escaped overnight from the campus armed with bats and golf clubs. The boys, aged between 15 and 17, were returned to the centre following a police search involving air and dog units. The campus caters for residents under the age of 18, including young offenders and criminals with multiple convictions for serious offences. Alexander Cassidy crashed into Wayne Strickland's car near Livingston last July, causing it to burst into flames. Cassidy, 29, from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, drove without due care and attention. The judge said he had decided not to jail the 29-year-old. Lord Clark said the victim's family wanted Cassidy to know "that they bear no malice" towards him. Cassidy had failed to spot slow and stationary traffic. Mr Strickland, 49, from Inverkeithing, Fife, ended up trapped in his car which burst into flames. Cassidy appeared at the High Court in Glasgow. Hr originally faced a charge of causing death by dangerous driving. Cassidy was also banned from the road for four years. The judge said: "I accept, as does Mr Strickland's family, that you have shown genuine remorse for your actions. "Although of little, if any, consolation to the family, you will require to live with the consequences for the rest of your life." Mr Strickland died after Cassidy's Mercedes van slammed into his car shunting it into the vehicle in front. Cassidy rushed out to help but had to be dragged back amid fears Mr Strickland's motor would explode. He was heard to say: "I tried to get him out but the door was jammed. It's all my fault. If I'd been able to stop, it would not have happened."

The 19-year-old uploaded an image of himself with team-mate Donervon Daniels and the caption "We are going to lose... Again" before their game at Sheffield Wednesday on Boxing Day. The game ended 1-0 to Wednesday. "It was totally unprofessional of me and a foolish thing to do," Murphy said in a statement on the club's website. "I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies to the manager, my team-mates, the fans and everybody at Blackpool Football Club for the hurt and embarrassment that a recent photo message I sent has caused. "I have loved my time at Blackpool so far, and I've been really grateful for the support I've received." Blackpool are bottom of the table with 14 points from 24 games, nine points from safety. Their next match is an FA Cup third round tie at Premier League side Aston Villa on Sunday. "I know I have let the manager and fans down badly but I aim to repay them by working even harder and helping the team climb up the league table," Murphy added. "I'd also like to make clear that Donervon Daniels had no part in this and I apologise for implicating him." Blackpool manager Lee Clark said: "I'm extremely disappointed because I expect nothing but total professionalism from my players. "We will now investigate this matter internally before deciding upon an outcome." Murphy has made nine appearances for Blackpool, scoring two goals, since joining them on loan from Norwich in November. The incident comes a week after Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston apologised for abusive texts he sent to a supporter. Oyston admitted sending the "unacceptable" texts in response to "a barrage of abuse" he received after his mobile number was placed on a social media website. Brathwaite made an unbeaten 60 to go with his first-innings 142 not out as West Indies chased 154 to win. It is their first away win against a team other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe since 2007 and their first win of any kind since beating England in May 2015. Despite losing the third Test, Pakistan still take the series 2-1. West Indies had slipped to 67-5 on the fourth day, but Brathwaite combined with wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich in an unbroken stand of 87. It sealed a first win in 12 attempts as captain for Jason Holder and also gave West Indies their first victory in an away Test against Pakistan since 1990. "If I could sum up my feelings in one word now, I'd say 'proud'," said Holder. "Proud of the character the guys showed, proud of the fight they showed. "We have the ability to win Test matches, it is just about stringing together the complete game. "For the fans back home, and West Indies fans in general, just keep supporting us, keeping giving us that love, and hopefully this team can turn things around."

The drone was spotted with an object above HMP Liverpool in Walton by prison staff in the early hours of 6 January. The item had been taken before staff arrived at the drop-off point. The drone was found on land close to Rice Lane Farm. A 44-year-old man from Anfield has been arrested on suspicion of conveying a prohibited article. He has been released on conditional bail pending further inquiries. The 24-year-old will not play again this summer following surgery on a finger he fractured last Friday. Having suffered the injury in their T20 Blast opener against Durham, the club say "a complication in the healing process" made an operation necessary. His only other appearance came in the Championship game against Glamorgan. Santner had been due to play for Worcestershire throughout the entire group stage of the T20 competition. "It is a massive blow," said Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes. "He is such an exciting talent in all formats of the game, but particularly T20. "We were very optimistic he would come back from the injury but sadly he needed surgery." Having only revealed the news of Santner's injury just before Friday night's T20 derby with the Birmingham Bears, Worcestershire went on to win without him at Edgbaston by five wickets, with five balls to spare. Brett D'Oliveira starred with an unbeaten 62 off 47 balls, including a straight six to finish, after taking 1-17 in his four overs of off spin. "Dolly was brilliant. He thoroughly deserved man of the match," said Rhodes.

Maria Byrne, 35, died at the couple's home in Morgan Crescent, Theydon Bois, Essex, on 13 February. Former stockbroker Darren Byrne, 40, killed her after she discovered he had been having an affair, Chelmsford Crown Court heard. Byrne was found guilty of murder and arson and must serve at least 24 years. Read more on this story and other Essex news The court heard Byrne hoped his wife's body would catch on fire while he went for an hour-long dog walk. Returning to find his plan had not worked, he called the emergency services to say his wife was "burned". In sentencing, Judge Charles Gratwicke told Bryne: "The effect of your savagery will live with [Mrs Byrne's family] for the rest of their lives." He said Maria Byrne "remained living for 30 minutes" after he attacked her. He described Byrne as "wicked" and added: "Nobody sitting in this courtroom listening to the evidence would have felt anything other than sickness and revulsion as to what you did. "Not only did you extinguish Maria Byrne's life but you left her two boys motherless and her family devastated." Mrs Byrne's mother Linda Biggs told the court in a victim statement: "Maria was an only child and we trusted her with Byrne, a man the family treated like a son. "She was beautiful, loving, loyal, kind, gentle and funny. She was everything to us, our whole world. She was brought up surrounded by love and she was simply our darling girl." The court heard that when Byrne called 999 he told the operator: "The stove was on and the frying pan's on the other side of the room. She's not breathing." Byrne had told paramedics his wife had been making him a bacon sandwich and when he returned home she was dead. Mrs Byrne's death was initially treated as unexplained but a murder inquiry started following a post-mortem examination which identified white spirit on her clothing. A half-empty bottle of white spirit was also found in the garage, the jury heard. Both sides had lost their opening fixture, so were looking to produce a positive response. Midfielder Asa Hall sent an early chance over for the hosts before Jordan White was just off-target with a free-kick, but Halifax then went close as Connor Oliver hit the crossbar. In the second half, Barrow substitute Dan Cockerline saw an effort saved just after coming on and Liam Hughes had his shot pushed over as the visitors held out for a point.

Sanchez fell into the boards after an apparent shove by Ryan Bennett, although the Norwich defender denied it was a deliberate push. "First of all it's dangerous to have a camera there," Wenger said. "He could've killed him. He didn't need to push like he did. I think the camera position was absolutely dangerous." Bennett, 25, tweeted after the match to give his version of the incident, writing: "Genuinely was trying to stop not push Sanchez just to clear that up." Chile forward Sanchez landed heavily in the cameraman's area on the touchline during the first half at Carrow Road, and although he was fit to resume he was later forced off with a hamstring injury. He died aged 64 in April after a long battle with dementia. The goalless draw between the only two Cambridgeshire clubs in the Football League began with a minute's applause "to honour this county's greatest sporting icon". It was the first match between the two sides in 14 years. Almost 4,700 fans from both clubs turned out on Saturday for the friendly in Peterborough, with all profits going to the Glenfield Care Centre, whose staff looked after Turner during his final years. He started his playing career at Peterborough in 1969, making more than 300 appearances for the club before winning back-to-back promotions as manager in the early 1990s. Turner also played for Cambridge United, Luton, Swindon and Southend. He retired as a player in 1984 and took over as Cambridge United boss the following year, managing them until 1990. His successful reign at Peterborough ended in 1992, when he stood down to become chairman. Turner was diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia in 2006. His wife Lynne said doctors told her the illness was "caused by heading too many balls" and called for greater research into the health risks surrounding the sport. Turner died on 27 April. Hundreds of fans from both Peterborough and Cambridge attended his funeral in May. The Chris Turner Memorial Match was devised as a way of "commemorating Chris [in a way] that is fitting, and to make sure we celebrate the life of Chris in the right way", Phil Adlam, from Peterborough United, said. It was, both team managers agreed, "a fitting memorial" and "the result didn't matter". On Monday, a judge gave the former Olympic Council of Ireland official the go ahead to leave the country. Justice Marcello Rubioli ordered that Mr Hickey's passport be returned to him after it was confirmed that 1.5m Brazilian real (about £350,000) was lodged with the court. Mr Hickey has stood aside as president of the Olympic Council of Ireland. It follows an investigation into alleged mis-selling of tickets for the 2016 Games in Rio. Mr Hickey has denied all allegations made against him. He was arrested in August and spent two weeks in Bangu Prison in Rio. In September, Judge Juliana Leal de Melo from the Special Court for Supporters and Large Events, accepted charges against Mr Hickey and another Irishman, Kevin Mallon, that were forwarded by public prosecutor Marcus Kac. They are among ten defendants charged with criminal organisation, ticket touting, ambush marketing, larceny, money laundering, and tax evasion. Also charged with Mr Hickey and Mr Mallon are co-defendants Marcus Paul Evans, Michael Glynn, Ken Murray, Eamonn Collins, Maarten Van Os, David Patrick Gilmore, Martin Studd, and Barbara Zancope Carnieri. The Olympic Council of Ireland will elect a new president to succeed Pat Hickey at an extraordinary general meeting on 9 February.

Stephen Port, 40, of Barking, allegedly met the men on gay websites and invited them home where he is said to have poisoned them with the party drug GHB. The men, in their 20s, were found in or near a churchyard in east London. At Kingston Crown Court a judge extended his custody after being told a "large amount of outstanding work" was causing delay. Mr Port, of Cooke Street, is charged with four counts of murder and four counts of administering a poison with intent to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm. He was due to enter his plea on Friday but this has been pushed back to 15 April when he will appear at the Old Bailey. A provisional trial date was fixed for October. Prosecutor William Emlyn-Jones said: "There is a very large amount of outstanding work given the scale of this inquiry." Mr Justice Singh extended the custody time limit for Mr Port saying: "Given the unusual circumstances of this case I'm satisfied the criteria for extending custody is met in this case." A police inquiry was launched after four men died over a period of 14 months. The 30-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan to Motherwell after falling out of favour at their Scottish Premiership rivals. He could be followed out of Hearts by fellow midfielder Billy King. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have held talks about a potential loan deal for the 22-year-old who ended last season with Rangers in the Championship. King made 13 appearances as the Glasgow side won the title and promotion. But the Scotland Under-21 international could be poised for another loan spell, this time with one of Hearts' Premiership rivals. Frenchman Gomis first arrived in Scotland to join Cowdenbeath in 2006 after spells with English lower league clubs Windsor & Eton, Dagenham & Redbridge, Barnet and Lewes. It won him a move to the top flight with Dundee United, returning for a second spell at Tannadice after two years with Birmingham City before joining Hearts in 2014. Gomis, who was capped twice for Senegal, made 58 appearances for Hearts and 11 on loan to Motherwell. He will now join Kelantan as they look to improve on their eighth place in the Malaysian table, the Kota Bharu-based side having finished ninth last year.

Diane Hill, from Coventry, felt that existing smiling, sleepy and sad faces did not represent the lives and likes of older people. The 56-year-old compiled her own "emoldjis" for the over 50s. An artist sketched her ideas which were sent to off to the Unicode Consortium which regulates emoji updates. Ms Hill said: "I need something that shows pain because my back hurts, my knees hurt and I need emojis with glasses." She came up with the idea as part of a BBC outreach project about how the media reflects the people and places around them. Local artist Chris Oxenbury was commissioned to formally design her suggestions and sketches which have now been sent off for approval. If successful, smartphone users could see designs such as "older person looking disapproving over glasses", "spending the kids' inheritance", and "no budgie smugglers" just a thumb-swipe away. "When I first saw them I thought they were fantastic," Ms Hill said. "I love the 'spending the kids inheritance one'. "I could send any of these emojis to my friends and they'd know what I mean." Siobhan Harrison, from the Open Doors project at BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, said: "With new emoji characters only released by Unicode on an annual basis it could be over a year before Diane's emojis hit our screens but at least she has raised some interesting issues about how the media reflect older people's lives and had some fun along the way." Experts said last year "emoji language" is the fastest growing in the UK with millions of people choosing the digital images over written text. The word emoji literally means "picture" (e) + "character" (moji) in Japanese and was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. The amended rule comes into effect at the end of 2020. World Rugby says the change will ensure that players have a "genuine, close, credible and established link with the nation of representation". "This is an historic moment for the sport," said World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin Pichot. "National team representation is the reward for devoting your career, your rugby life, to your nation and these amendments will ensure that the international arena is full of players devoted to their nation, who got there on merit." It is hoped that raising the residency qualification period from 36 to 60 months will give some protection to the smaller nations - particularly the Pacific Island teams - by discouraging their stars from pledging allegiance to other countries. Last autumn, England gave starts to Fiji-born Nathan Hughes and Semesa Rokoduguni, who had qualified for Eddie Jones' side having lived in England for three years. Jones has also recently included Sale's Auckland-born Denny Solomona in his squad, with the former rugby league winger set to become eligible for England in August. France have previously declared they will only select players who hold a French passport in the hope it will reverse the national team's reliance on overseas-born players. World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont called the reform an "important and necessary step to protecting the integrity and credibility of international rugby". The alteration to the residency rule was one of a number of changes made by World Rugby at its council meeting in Kyoto, Japan. The council also approved expanded voting rights for Argentina and Japan, who will now have three votes each on the decision-making body with immediate effect. French Rugby Federation president Bernard Laporte has been elected on to the World Rugby Executive Committee. Former England and British and Irish Lions centre Jeremy Guscott The issue of nations getting in 'project players' to qualify on residency and build into international sides hasn't been particularly in the spirit of rugby. There is nothing wrong with it - everyone has been doing it as it's in the laws and why wouldn't you use the laws to benefit your country? I think it might stop so many Pacific Island and South African players moving abroad, although perhaps they will just come over at a younger age. Hopefully it will see them commit to their domestic game and we will see those sides improve. It is a long time for someone to commit to a new country and perform well enough over that time to make an international squad so I think five years is fair.

False teeth and bad back emojis, the brainchild of a frustrated grandmother, could soon be in use after being sent off for official approval. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Rugby union's world governing body has voted to extend the residency qualification period for international players from three to five years.

The update comes in prepared remarks for US Congress. The company said it was working to deliver airbags that do not contain ammonium nitrate propellant. The fault has led to 34 million cars being recalled in the US, the biggest auto-safety recall in US history. Globally, the number of vehicles affected is thought to be 53 million. The faulty front and side airbags were found to inflate with excessive force, causing the bags to rupture and dangerous shrapnel to be thrown at the drivers, sometimes with fatal consequences. The cause is not expected to be fully identified for some time, but some scientists suspect the ammonium nitrate may have been part of the problem, by becoming unstable over time, particularly in extreme heat and humidity. Kevin Kennedy, Takata's executive vice president, is set to be questioned by Congress on Tuesday about the faulty airbags. In his prepared testimony he said the company was carrying out an "extensive testing program" and had "ramped up production of replacement kits to address the needs of these recalls". Takata's airbags are used in vehicles made by 11 global manufacturers, including Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Faults with the airbags were first detected in 2004 and the first US death linked to an airbag rupture occurred in 2009. Three people were sent to the city's Royal Gwent Hospital and seven were treated at Friars Walk on Wednesday. People said they felt unwell after reportedly smelling gas. The Welsh Ambulance Service said it was actually caused by a "completely harmless" strong glue. An ambulance was called at 15:35 GMT after a number of people reported feeling unwell at a restaurant in the centre. Matthew Cann, the service's control manager, said: "Following an update, it was apparently an epoxy resin which was being used by workmen on site. "It's not a gas leak, it is a resin, a strong glue, and completely harmless apart from dizziness and headaches in some people. "The seven patients we are holding at the scene are going to be discharged and I would imagine the three patients sent to the Royal Gwent Hospital will be discharged when we update the hospital." A Wales and West Utilities spokesman said: "Working closely with the fire and rescue service, our engineer found that the smell was not caused by mains gas and left the situation in the hands of the fire and rescue service. "However, our engineer will remain on site while the fire and rescue service continues its investigations."

The Japanese car parts maker, Takata, is intending to replace a chemical used in its airbags, as it tries to fix a fault that led to six deaths and multiple injuries. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A supposed gas smell at a Newport shopping centre which caused several people to feel ill was in fact resin used by workmen, the ambulance service has said.

Gomis, who collapsed three times in 2009, appeared to fall down immediately after Spurs took a sixth-minute lead. The Frenchman, 29, left the pitch on a stretcher and was taken to hospital. Swansea confirmed Gomis was back in training but it is not yet known if he will be fit to face Liverpool at Liberty Stadium on Monday. After the incident at White Hart Lane, Gomis tweeted: "I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father's health that requires me to go back and forth to France." Team-mate Neil Taylor described the Frenchman's collapse and on-field treatment as "frightening". Wales international Sam Ricketts said the incident brought back memories of the day in 2012 when his then Bolton team-mate Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest at the same ground. Media playback is not supported on this device Grainger, 40, won silver at three successive Games before finally claiming gold at London 2012 - and then taking a two-year sabbatical. Jonny Walton and John Collins in the double sculls, and pair Alan Sinclair and Stewart Innes also made finals. But Britain's lightweight men's four failed to make it through the semis. Katherine Copeland will not retain her Olympic title as she and Charlotte Taylor went out in the repechage of the lightweight double sculls. It leaves the British rowing team with six boats so far through to finals in Rio. Earlier, Alan Campbell reached the semi-finals of the men's single sculls by finishing second in his heat. The 33-year-old was the fifth fastest qualifier, 4.97 seconds outside the leading time, set by Croatia's European champion Damir Martin. Campbell won bronze at London 2012, and is the first Northern Irishman to compete at four Olympic Games. Since returning to rowing two years ago, Grainger had struggled to find the same kind of dominant form that helped her win gold alongside Anna Watkins in 2012. However, Grainger and Thornley impressed in their semi-final in Rio, finishing just under two seconds behind Poland's Magdalena Fularczyk-Kozlowska and Natalia Madaj. Their hopes were boosted further as the world champion pair from New Zealand and highly-fancied Australians both failed to qualify for the final. "Getting a medal is always the most thrilling, exciting, wonderful thing you can do at an Olympics," said Grainger. "Right now it is about getting the best performance out of the two of us and if that's fast enough that's where we want to be." Thornley, 28, said: "We're in an Olympic final. It probably is our best performance as a pair. There's a lot of pressure in a semi-final. "There's all to play for and we haven't shown everything yet. Today is a giant leap forward; we've put a lot of work in the last six weeks." "That's a step up from anything Grainger and Thornley have shown over the last two years since Katherine came back. "The best thing is not only have they qualified, they would have come second in the other semi, so they are right in the mix for a medal.

It wants to hire about 1,000 people, primarily cabin crew, across the eight airports from which it operates. Aside from Belfast International Airport, it flies from Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle. It has a fleet of 63 aircraft, and serves about 220 destinations. Toilets at the airport have been equipped with "toilet paper" that you can use to disinfect your smartphone. Paid for by Japanese mobile giant NTT Docomo, the sheets also include information about the firm's public Wi-Fi networks as well as details about its smartphone travel app. Social media users have reacted to the move with humour and disbelief. The bizarre dispensers have been installed in seven restrooms and will remain in place until March next year, local media cited NTT Docomo as saying.

"There are more than five times of germs on a smartphone screen as compared to a toilet seat," NTT Docomo said in a post on its official YouTube page. It added that the special cleaning rolls were "made to clean screens so foreign tourists could enjoy their travel hygienically". In true Japanese fashion, a quirky two-minute instructional video demonstrated how to correctly use the sheets, and also the "shower" or bidet function found in most public toilets in the country.

I have the habit of wiping my smartphone with tissue and alcohol every night after work," she said in a Facebook post. "Don't laugh. Your own toilet experience will always be crappy compared to this," said Mike Putro. "Trust the Japanese to think of something so clever."

Signeul's side take on Romania in a friendly at the Falkirk Stadium on Friday evening, then travel to face Sweden on Tuesday. Seven days later, Signeul will name her squad for the finals in the Netherlands. "Players need to play for a starting place," Signeul told BBC Scotland. "No-one has a place, and that's in the squad of 23 as well. "After these two games and then maybe a weekend of club games we are going to select the squad." Scotland open their European Championship campaign against England on 19 July in Utrecht, before games with Portugal (23 July) and Spain (27 July). It is the first time the Scots have made it to a major finals, and the last one in charge for the Swedish-born coach, who will step down after the tournament to take up the same position with Finland. She says the friendly games with Romania and Sweden will provide two very different challenges. "Sweden will be the physical team, and we have to learn to play against these kind of teams," Signeul said. "We know we have had problems in the past against Sweden standing up to their speed and physicality. "This game against Romania we will play a team that has fast strikers, and are technically very good. You will be surprised at their tactical ability. They will come very prepared, they are almost like a club side." One player missing from the squad is Arsenal midfielder Kim Little, who will miss the finals after she ruptured her anterior cruciate knee ligament. The 26-year-old, who has 117 senior caps, sustained the injury in training with her club. "It will be huge for us, but we can't do anything about it," said Signeul. "I feel sad for Kim, I feel sad for the team. I also feel sad for the fans who don't get the opportunity to see such a fantastic player. "But there will be opportunities for other players to step up and show they are of that calibre as well. "The good thing with Kim is she's young, she's very fit, she's strong, she will come back. She's missing her first finals but it will just be the first, she will be in the next finals." Nicholas Smith, 66, of Malestroit, France, carried out the assault on a pupil at Chetham's School of Music between 1976 and 1978. He was arrested by detectives investigating historical sexual abuse at music schools in Manchester. Smith was sentenced to eight months in prison at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. The court heard that Smith's victim went to police after the death of violinist Frances Andrade in January 2013. Mrs Andrade had accused former Chetham's choirmaster Michael Brewer of sexual abuse and took a fatal overdose after learning the jury in his trial was instructed to find him not guilty of several charges. Brewer was jailed for six years for five counts of indecent assault. Smith's victim, who knew Mrs Andrade at school, told police her death was like the "curtain of a stage lifted". The court heard the assault by Smith, when his victim was 15 and he was 30, took "minutes" but ruined her life. Police said the attack took place while the girl was staying with Smith and his wife at a cottage in Derbyshire. Smith's barrister Neil Usher said the 66-year-old's "reputation lies in ruins". "He has gone from being a celebrated and much sought-after conductor here and abroad to being unemployable [and] friends who held him in high regard will not look at him again." Jailing Smith, Judge Peter Lakin said he had "breached the trust placed in you in a most serious way". He said Smith's victim had been "highly vulnerable". "When you were alone with her, you cynically took advantage of her vulnerability and subjected her to a deeply unpleasant and frightening ordeal. "You pushed her to the ground, dragged her clothes up and then fondled and kissed her exposed breasts. "This was a forceful sexual assault by someone in authority." Speaking after the hearing, Det Ch Insp Jamie Daniels said he could "understand why people have drawn comparisons between Michael Brewer and Nicholas Smith". "Smith, like Brewer, took advantage of a homesick young girl in a location away from school grounds while she was isolated and vulnerable."

The Great Knot, a small wader, has attracted dozens of bird watchers from far and wide to Titchwell's RSPB reserve on the coast. Only five have ever been spotted in England and this is the second to come to Norfolk. Titchwell volunteer Geoffrey Fitt said it was a very rare and unusual visitor. "It breeds in north-east Siberia and normally this time of year heads for the coasts of south east Asia or Australia." The last Great Knot appeared on Breydon Water in July 2014. Lewis Ball, 26, had not been seen since he left the Thekla on Bristol's Floating Harbour at 03:20 GMT on Sunday 5 February. Avon and Somerset Police said Mr Ball's family had been informed of the discovery. Formal identification has not yet been carried out, a police spokesman said.

It is expected to be a digital boost for a major mountain bike event, due to be held in the Glentress Forest. Organisers hope it will allow live streaming of the 80km Enduro event. If the technology proves successful in the thick forest, it could be used to deliver communications services to rural areas. About 600 mountain bikers are expected at the Tweedlove Bike Festival event at the weekend, as well as many spectators. Thanks to the ground-breaking trial, they are likely to be able to access the internet on smart phones and tablets from within the forest. Moira Forsyth, of the Innovation Directorate of Scottish Enterprise, which is one of the agencies behind the trial, said the technology could be a major opportunity for local businesses. She said: "TV white space technology has the potential to provide a major boost for Scottish tourism. "Like many rural tourism businesses the majority of mountain biking locations have no or very poor connectivity - whether mobile or internet access. "This lack of connectivity to stream live events also significant limits the international viewing opportunities when Scotland hosts global events such as the Enduro World Series, which bring significant income into rural locations." So-called "white space" is the unused frequencies allocated to broadcasting services. The frequencies vary by region but devices such as mobile phones and tablets could use the free spectrum. The trial at Glentress Forest will test the technology in a densely forested, mountainous rural environment. It has been led by Scottish Enterprise, the Mountain Bike Centre of Scotland, which is based at the forest near Peebles, and Microsoft. Danny Cowe, the mountain bike centre's business development manager said: "We're acutely aware that the visitor experience can be negatively impacted by poor connectivity - shutting down their ability to share their experience on social platforms. "Beyond this they cannot use smart phones or other mobile devices in order to view or look and book with local businesses - for example local restaurants. "We can see how this clever new technology could hugely improve both the spectator experience and improve their time at centres such as Glentress." Jim Beveridge, senior director of international technology policy at Microsoft, said: "We've successfully trialled it in everything from lifeboats to businesses and now in sport. It brings people together in a way that just wasn't possible five years ago and it just might bring some of the superstars here this weekend direct to your mobile." The white space technology could help local business Dirt School expand and enhance its mountain bike coaching service. Head coach Andy Barlow said: "As we are launching a mountain bike coaching app and offering virtual training programmes, it is vital that we are then able to connect with our students to provide feedback instantly. "TV White Space technology could enable us to do that at Glentress." The 37-year-old tied for seventh place at the Hong Kong Open at the weekend, securing a top-110 finish in the Race to Dubai and his card for 2016. This year was Ford's first on the European Tour, having come through Qualifying School last year. "I was very emotional afterwards. It is hard to stop it when you have been pushing it back for so long," he said. Ford had started the week 118th in the Race to Dubai, and says he had doubts about whether he would be able to remain on the Tour. "I was always in a good position but the thoughts build as the week goes on," Ford told BBC Radio Kent. "You have to accept you are nervous and the mind will wander. It was heightened even more as you know what it means. "People asked me whether, on the 18th green, I knew what the scenario was and what I needed to do. "It was the last hole of the year so there was no comeback. I had to keep those thoughts at bay and focus on the single shot in front of me and that's what I'm most proud of." Ford's best result this year came when he finished second at the Africa Open in March, and he believes he can capitalise further in 2016. "I can pick and choose which events I play," he said. "I am pretty much guaranteed nearly all the big events and it is huge from that point. "My game is suited to certain courses so I can make sure I am ready for those tournaments."

Two males, aged 19 and 17, were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the death of Abdul Hafidah. The 18-year-old was hit by a car and then stabbed on 12 May in Moss Side, Manchester, and died later in hospital. Police believe he was chased near Greenheys Lane before being hit by a blue Vauxhall Corsa on Moss Lane East. A post-mortem examination revealed he died of a stab wound to the neck. Four others arrested in connection with his death, including a boy of 14, were released on bail until 20 July. Police are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the incident or the area and said the attack took place in a busy area during rush hour. The nine-floor building, part of Ipswich Hospital, was hit on Tuesday evening. Just before 19:00 GMT, Hospital chief executive Nick Hulme tweeted that a "massive clap of thunder and lightning has struck the building". A hospital spokesman said patient care had not been affected but the unit's bleeper system was down. Mr Hulme said everything was "safe" but there may be disruption for a while. Hospital co-ordinator Karen Lough said the maternity unit was "fully operational" and the contingency plans had worked. "We are using phones and radio communication to replace our bleeper system, but patient care has not been affected," she said. The tournament has been staged at the prestigious Surrey club since 1984. But the quality of the greens and course layout changes in 2009 have kept some of Europe's star players away. "We have every intention to be at Wentworth for a long period of time," said Pelley. Another issue involves Wentworth residents, who are seeking an increase in the fees paid by the European Tour to hold the event on the estate's West Course. However, Pelley is confident issues with the course and local residents can be resolved. "We have to significantly improve the golf course," added Pelley. "The golf course in particular, where our interest lies, is a golf course that we believe our top players will want to play on year after year."

The Scarlets are set to sign the Wales full-back on a National Dual Contract (NDC) with the WRU, after Halfpenny left Toulon in the summer. Davies wants Halfpenny, 28, back in Wales after three seasons in France. "Talks are ongoing," Davies confirmed to BBC Wales News' Welsh language Newyddion 9 programme. "I think the Union and the regions are eager to ensure that the best Welsh players play in Wales. "Those discussions are ongoing but there is no development that can be announced as yet." Davies refused to be drawn on which of the four regions Halfpenny would be joining if he agreed to return to Wales. "We're looking forward to bring him back to play his rugby in Wales so that he's considered as one of the game's heroes and that the kids and the next generation can see one of our best players play in Wales," Davies said. Halfpenny has spent three seasons in Toulon after joining from Cardiff Blues but is set to link up with the Scarlets rather than his former region. The WRU would pay 60% of his contract as part of the NDC, with the Scarlets contributing the other 40%. "The regions are always looking to retain, first of all, and then repatriate our leading players to play rugby in Wales," added Davies. "It's important for the young generation to see their star players being readily available for them to watch most weekends." Scarlets general manager Jon Daniels remained coy on whether Halfpenny was heading to Llanelli. "We are preparing for next season with the squad that we have got," said Daniels. "If there is anything on Leigh Halfpenny in the near future, I am sure the Welsh Rugby Union will be making that statement when they are ready to do so. Until then we are getting on with our preparations. "We have a squad here who has been working hard for a good couple of weeks and we are looking forward to the challenge."

The local clinical commissioning group (CCG), which commissions healthcare for the borough, said it made the decision to withdraw free IVF to save money. A borough council committee has written to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt asking him to look at the decision. The Department of Health said it would respond to the letter in due course. A spokesperson said: "Fertility problems can have a serious and lasting impact on those affected, which is why we expect all CCGs to implement NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) guidelines." Croydon's CCG said IVF was still available to those with "exceptional clinical circumstances". NHS oversight group NICE recommends women under 40 can be offered up to three free IVF cycles on the NHS, but the final decision lies with CCGs. In the letter, Croydon Council's health and social care scrutiny sub-committee said the withdrawal of funding had resulted in a postcode lottery as residents of other London boroughs continued to have access to free IVF treatment. It said Croydon CCG had been left a large deficit by the previous primary care trust and due to historical underfunding and had to find savings of £36m this year. Sub-committee chairwoman Carole Bonner said: "Not only are we asking for the decision to be reversed, but we are also asking for funding from the government to address the balance." Leader of Croydon Council Tony Newman said: "It's true to say that the decision to withdraw funding will be reviewed in a year, but even if the funding is restored at that point there would be residents who have passed the age limit and missed the chance of conceiving." Croydon CCG, which was placed in financial special measures in 2016 for NHS overspending, said the decision could help save £836,000 per year. Dr Agnelo Fernandes, from Croydon CCG, said: "We took this difficult decision only after careful consideration and discussion in the context of the increasingly challenging financial position we face. "We have a statutory requirement to prioritise frontline services for the people of Croydon and live within the financial resources available to us." Two brothers and another man from Carrickfergus appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with attempted murder. The court heard the door man at the Royal Oak bar was attacked on Saturday night with a fire extinguisher. He is in a stable condition in hospital. The men who appeared at court on Monday were Brian Sinclair, 50, from O'Rorke's Row, Ian Sinclair, 36 from Elizabeth Avenue and Glen McCullough, 52, from Castlemara Drive. There was a heavy police presence at the Laganside Courts complex. A judge told the court: "I have no desire to close the court. I'm asking everyone to remain composed." Brian Sinclair applied for bail, which police opposed on the grounds of potential interference with witnesses. An officer told the court that Ian and Brian Sinclair had been refused entry to the Royal Oak bar on Green Street by the victim. He said the brothers believed they were not being allowed in because of an ongoing loyalist feud in the area. It was heard that CCTV footage showed Brian Sinclair wrestling the victim to the ground, where Ian Sinclair hit him repeatedly on the head with a fire extinguisher. The court heard that Glen McCullough was also seen lifting the fire extinguisher and hitting the victim on the head with it as he lay in the entrance hallway to the bar. The court heard the victim has a blood clot and air pockets in his brain as well as facial fractures, and will need to be "continually monitored" in hospital. Brian Sinclair's solicitor said his client had been a turbine rigger for 30 years and was due to take up a new contract in Wales. He added that his client had been "caught up in something". A judge refused bail, telling the court that Brian Sinclair was not an "appropriate candidate" because of the suspected link between the assault and "organised paramilitarism". All three men were remanded in custody to appear again via video link next month.

The rare malt was among seven bottles of whisky taken from Tullibardine Distillery's shop in Blackford at the weekend. About £14,000 worth of whisky and two glasses were stolen from the shop during the break in. Police want to trace a man seen walking with two bags near the A9 at Blackford at about 21:55 on Saturday. He was described as between 25 and 35-years-old, of medium build, and was wearing a red top, light-coloured shorts and worker boots. Police Scotland said the Stirling Street shop was broken into between 17:00 on Saturday and 09:25 on Sunday. A typical branded whisky sold in a UK supermarket can cost about £14. Cheaper blends can be bought for less, a single malt would be about twice as much. But, at the top end of the market, a rare bottle might fetch many thousands of pounds. In some examples, luxury packaging (think crystal decanter, encrusted with jewels) makes up much of the cost. In others, the rarity of the drink itself, from casks matured decades ago, pushes up the price tag. The top prices in auction can match works of art. In 2010, an auction house in New York sold a decanter of whisky for $460,000 (£353,000). Rob Lawrie, 49, from Guiseley, faces up to five years in jail if convicted of attempting to bring the girl from the "Jungle" migrant camp near Calais, to Leeds where she has relatives. It urges the Foreign Office to seek clemency from the French authorities. The government said it had contacted French police about the incident. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Mr Lawrie said he had first met the Afghan girl, who he knew as "Bahar", when he travelled to France to provide aid to refugees. "[Her father] had asked me a few times to take her and I had always said no, then, on my last journey we were sat round a campfire and Bahar was sat on my knee and she just snuggled in and fell asleep in my lap, " he said "It was one of those moments and I just said, 'This is no life for a four-year-old' and all rationality left me and I knew what I had to do." Mr Lawrie hid Bahar in a compartment above the driver's seat of his Transit van. He was stopped by border officials who discovered two Eritrean boys who had sneaked into the vehicle unbeknownst to him. Mr Lawrie was arrested and, after Bahar was discovered, she was returned to the camp. Mr Lawrie, who is due in court in France in January, said: "You do not need to tell me I'm an idiot, I know I'm an idiot. "I did the wrong thing, I've got no doubt and I'm going to apologise to the French court. "I'm not saying 'Look at me, I'm a hero' I'm saying 'I did it the wrong way, lets try and find out the right way'." Giving his reaction to the petition he told BBC Look North: "It really does support me and it gives me strength." A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We have been in contact with French police regarding Mr Lawrie's arrest, and are ready to provide consular assistance if requested."

A PTI spokesman made an announcement on Imran Khan's official Facebook page. Ms Khan also confirmed on Twitter that they had decided to part ways. The pair got married in January at Mr Khan's home. The former cricketer was previously married to British journalist and activist Jemima Goldsmith. PTI spokesman Naeem Ul Haque asked for the media to "refrain from any speculation" due to the sensitivity and seriousness of "this extremely painful matter". "There will be no further communication in this respect," he added. Mr Khan echoed the request to be left alone on Twitter: "This is a painful time for me & Reham & our families. I would request everyone to respect our privacy." He denied that there had been any financial settlement between them, adding: "I have the greatest respect for Reham's moral character & her passion to work for & help the underprivileged". Reham Khan, a journalist, said on her Twitter page: "We have decided to part ways and file for divorce." Mr Khan and Ms Goldsmith were married for nine years and divorced in 2004. They have two sons who live in the UK. Last year Imran Khan was at the helm of major protests and rallies calling for political reform and for Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to step down. Last year, the Wall Street Journal accused Mr Najib of corruption, claiming that the $681m (£478m) had come from troubled state fund 1MDB. Mr Najib has faced repeated calls to step down as prime minister but has been cleared of wrongdoing. He said the Saudi statement confirmed what he had always maintained. The full background to the 1MDB scandal Malaysia PM in the clear? The 1MDB fund was set up by Mr Najib in 2009 to pay for major new economic and social developments in Malaysia. Last July, Malaysia's then-Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail linked the $681m in Mr Najib's account to companies and bodies which had ties to 1MDB. Mr Patail was replaced, and, after an investigation, his successor cleared Mr Najib of corruption, saying that the money was a personal donation by the Saudi royal family to the prime minister's private bank account. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, speaking to reporters at a summit in Istanbul, confirmed this, according to Malaysian state news agency Bernama. "We are aware of the donation and it is a genuine donation with nothing expected in return. We are also fully aware that the attorney general of Malaysia has thoroughly investigated the matter and found no wrongdoing," he said. "So, as far as we are concerned, the matter is closed," Mr Jubeir said, after a meeting with Mr Najib on the sidelines of the summit. The fund has been dogged by allegations of corruption. Last week, a Malaysian parliamentary enquiry found its entire board 1MDB had been acted irresponsibly, and called for an investigation into the former chief, although it did not implicate Mr Najib. A Swiss investigation into 1MDB was opened last year, citing "suspected corruption of public foreign officials, dishonest management of public interests and money laundering". Regulators in the US and Hong Kong are also reported to be investigating 1MDB.

The Leinster fly-half, who has overcome a calf strain, is preferred to Paddy Jackson, who started the defeat by Scotland and the victory over Italy. Captain Rory Best returns at hooker after missing the game in Rome through illness, while Jack McGrath comes in for Cian Healy at loose-head prop. Rob Kearney is fit to play at full-back after recovering from a biceps problem. Both Sexton and Kearney came through a full week of training at the squad's Carton House base in County Kildare unscathed. Sexton, 31, has been out of action since sustaining his injury during Leinster's Champions Cup draw with Castres on 20 January. Jackson deputised impressively for Sexton at Murrayfield and in Rome, but must settle for a place on the bench on this occasion. "It was a call like any other, we debated it and we do believe we get a good balance with having both players available," said Schmidt of the selection call on starting Sexton ahead of Jackson. "It's very hard to come into a side and come off the bench when you haven't played. So starting the match has allowed Johnny a bit more training time with the team this week. "It's a balance, and I think on Saturday based on how things have gone in the past we'll probably see both players in some positions in some stage of the game. "Johnny's done a lot of conditioning in the period of his injury, and fitness is never really an issue for Johnny, it's just making sure he's fully fit. "And he is. He trained well today and fully on Tuesday. He's highly motivated to get into the game on Saturday." Conor Murray has recovered from a hip issue to take his place in the starting line-up, with Munster's Niall Scannell dropping to the bench in light of the return of Best to the number two shirt. With Josh van der Flier ruled out of the remainder of the Six Nations with a shoulder injury, flanker Peter O'Mahony is named among the replacements on his return after a hamstring complaint. Coach Joe Schmidt has recalled McGrath in the front row in place of his Leinster provincial team-mate Healy, who started against the Italians. Ulster winger Andrew Trimble and forward Iain Henderson comes onto the bench after their return to fitness. Ireland: Kearney; Earls, Ringrose, Henshaw, Zebo; Sexton, Murray; McGrath, Best, Furlong; D Ryan, Toner; Stander, O'Brien, Heaslip.

The owner of the 60,000-acre (24,281 ha) Gairloch and Conon Estate, said he believed 99% of people involved in land management felt the same way. RSPB Scotland said it preferred "constructive dialogue" to signs. Mr MacKenzie told BBC Radio Scotland that he erected the notices after similar action was taken by another Highland landowner. He said he wanted to show his unhappiness with the RSPB. Mr MacKenzie had given permission for the monitoring of a red kite nest on his estate, believing that the work was being done by staff from Forestry Commission Scotland. However, he withdrew his consent when he learned it was being done by an RSPB employee. Mr MacKenzie said he also found out that the RSPB was monitoring a different bird's nest on his land than the one he had been told about. He said the charity treated landowners, their workers and others involved in agriculture with a "degree of suspicion". Mr MacKenzie added: "If you were to speak to 98-99% of all shepherds, farmers, crofters, ghillies, foresters, stalkers, gamekeepers and landowners in the Highlands they would say they simply do not trust the RSPB in the way they operate." He said the vast majority of these people supported wildlife conservation. RSPB Scotland said it was not required by law to notify landowners of its survey work, but usually did so as a courtesy. A spokesman added that the monitoring that was done on Mr MacKenzie's estate had involved the use a vehicle provided by the Forestry Commission as part of its support of red kite conservation. Checking on the health of the Highland's red kite population has added significance following the deaths last year of 16 kites and six buzzards. Some of the birds were poisoned. The RSPB spokesman said the charity wanted to be clear that the Gairloch and Conon Estate had not been implicated. Responding to Mr MacKenzie's signs, the spokesman said: "Whilst we would prefer a constructive dialogue with anyone who disagrees with our charitable work, especially in local communities, it is of course the right of any individual to erect a sign on their private land expressing their opinion, if they wish to do so."

Davy Graham, who died in 2008 aged 68, was described as a "guitar genius". One of his pieces, Anji, was covered on the Simon and Garfunkel album Sounds of Silence and he is credited with inspiring a generation of singers. The plaque will be unveiled at his birthplace, the former Bosworth Park Infirmary, in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire. Davy travelled extensively and brought Middle Eastern and Indian influences into his repertoire and is often credited with pioneering World Music before the term was coined. Ray Davies of the Kinks once described him as "an awesome influence". David Suff, from folk label Topic Records, said: "Davy was a restless musician, ever searching for new ways to play the guitar. "It is no exaggeration to refer to him as a guitar genius who inspired Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy, Jimmy Page, Paul Simon, John Renbourn and countless others." For many, a major part of his legacy was a new way of tuning a guitar - known as the DADGAD style. The plaque is set to be unveiled at 15:30 GMT by his partner Carol Ballard and musician Tom Baxter, along with a recent graduate from Market Bosworth and Hinckley based JAM Music School. The build-up to City's 1-0 loss to Wigan was overshadowed by reports that Mancini would be sacked as manager and replaced by Malaga's Manuel Pellegrini. He said: "You continue to speak about this for six months and also too much in the last two weeks. "I don't know why the club didn't stop this because I don't think it's true." "If this FA Cup final was to be the beginning of the end for Roberto Martinez and Roberto Mancini, one was leaving on a magic carpet while the other was being smuggled out of the back door" Ben Watson's 90th-minute goal gave Wigan their first trophy in their 81-year history and made it a miserable day for Mancini and his players as last season's Premier League champions will finish without any silverware this season. "Our target when we started the season was to win the Premier League," said Mancini. "But I think our mistakes started in the last transfer market. We didn't do enough to our team." On reports in Spain that City have already agreed a deal with Pellegrini, he added: "I don't know if it is true or not. I don't think so. I do know football and in football anything can happen. In one or two weeks you can know if it's true or not. "I don't need to ask the club about it. There is no reason to ask." Mancini, who was seen in conversation on the Wembley touchline before the game with City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said: "Do you think the chairman told me before the game 'don't worry'? "We will see if it is true in the next two weeks. If it is not true you have written stupid things in the last six months. If it is true I'm stupid because I don't understand this. "I work with serious people and I think I did a good job."

Edgewater Fire Chief Tom Jacobson said the fire started on the ground floor and quickly spread through the building on the Hudson River. The city's mayor says about 500 residents have been displaced. Two residents and two firefighters suffered minor injuries. The fire was still smouldering on Thursday morning. Local media reported the fire begin at 17:00 local time (10:00 GMT) and continued to burn for hours. Resident Hamza Abdul told the Bergen Record newspaper he was working when he got a call about the fire. "I can't believe it," he said. "It's all ashes now." The apartment building, across from the Manhattan skyline, also housed New York Yankees play-by-play announcer John Sterling. Judy Huth's lawsuit alleges that Cosby molested her at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles in 1974 and told her to lie about her age. Cosby's lawyer had no immediate comment on the accusation. Cosby, 77, has faced a series of renewed allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted more than a dozen women. He has not been charged in connection with any of the allegations, which his lawyers have described as "discredited" and "defamatory". Ms Huth's lawsuit says she and a 16-year-old friend met Mr Cosby on a film set and were later invited to his tennis club, where they were given alcohol before being taken to the Playboy mansion. There, Ms Huth alleges that she was forced to carry out a sexual act against her will. The lawsuit states that the teenagers were told to lie about their age, and say they were 19 if asked. It says the incident caused Ms Huth "psychological damage and mental anguish". She is seeking unspecified damages. The claims in the lawsuit are the first in which a woman has alleged that Cosby assaulted her when she was under age, the Associated Press reported. In 2005 a woman who accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her brought a lawsuit against him, but the case was settled out of court. The new suit came a day after Cosby resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University in Philadelphia, where he was once a student, amid the allegations. Several broadcasters have shelved projects with Mr Cosby, including NBC and Netflix. Oracle, which owns Java, argued that Google had infringed its copyright and had sought almost $9bn (£6.1bn) in damages. The long-running legal battle has been closely watched as Java is widely used, and Android runs 80% of the world's mobile devices. Oracle says it will appeal to the US Supreme Court. "We strongly believe that Google developed Android by illegally copying core Java technology to rush into the mobile device market," said Oracle lawyer Dorian Daley. "Oracle brought this lawsuit to put a stop to Google's illegal behaviour. We believe there are numerous grounds for appeal and we plan to bring this case back to the federal circuit on appeal." Google, and its parent company Alphabet, argued that they should be able to use Java for free under the "fair use" clause. Fair use under US copyright law allows some access to material without the permission of the rights holder. The jury at the US District Court in San Francisco unanimously upheld that argument. In a statement Google described today's verdict as "a win for the Android ecosystem, for the Java programming community, and for software developers who rely on open and free programming languages to build innovative consumer products." Oracle had argued the success of Android was in danger of "destroying" interest in Java. The "widespread dominance" that Android had achieved in the mobile phone market had done "irreversible" damage to Java's potential market, said Oracle. That success was based on Google using 37 Java packages without permission, it argued. The case had previously been to trial in 2012, but that ended in a deadlocked jury. The incident happened when the boy was on a scooter on Burnland Place in Elrick just after 19:00 on Thursday. He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment. His condition was said to be "stable".

Mohammed Moshin Ameen, of east London, admitted five counts of encouraging the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism on Twitter. He admitted inviting support for IS and disseminating a terrorist publication. He was remanded in custody at the Old Bailey until sentencing on 28 April. The tweets were sent on the social media site in the six months between May and October last year. The charge of disseminating a terrorist publication relates to a link to a video entitled "For The Sake Of Allah", which was posted on Twitter in September. Ameen appeared in court via video-link from Wandsworth Prison and spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas. The MP for Wentworth and Dearne said he had not originally intended to stand but was "dismayed at how narrow and shallow the debate has been so far". He becomes the seventh candidate, meaning at least one or two of those already declared will lack enough MPs' support to make the ballot paper. But Mr Healey said he was confident of gaining enough support. Also standing are Rushanara Ali, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle, Stella Creasy, Caroline Flint and Tom Watson. Writing in the Guardian, Mr Healey said: "I know I'm a late entrant when others have been up and running for some time. But the scale of the defeat, the complexity of the lessons and the huge task of holding things together while we rebuild requires a unifier - someone who can work across the political breadth of the party and with the unions." He added: "Our new leader must be able to give their total attention to establishing themselves and re-establishing Labour with the country. "Labour's internal affairs have to be left largely to others but their deputy must be much more than a party manager and motivator." Mr Healey spent four years at the Treasury under Gordon Brown and was also a housing minister before becoming shadow health secretary for a year from October 2010. He said he had been encouraged by colleagues to add his name to an already-crowded field. To be on the ballot each candidate needs nomination from 35 MPs, but with only 232 Labour MPs in total, not all seven of those currently standing will reach that target. Mr Healey has already nominated Yvette Cooper for the party leadership. She is running alongside Andy Burnham, Mary Creagh and Liz Kendall.

Activist monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pull-back in Syria's second city came after days of heavy fighting. State media confirmed the military had taken over the whole of the old city. Government forces now control about 75% of eastern Aleppo, held by the rebels for the past four years. The rebels, who had been left with just a spit of land north-east of the citadel after recent government advances, abandoned it by Wednesday morning, retreating to territory they still hold further south. In a separate development, Syrian state news agency Sana reported that several Israeli missiles struck the Mazzeh military air base outside the capital Damascus overnight, causing a fire but no casualties. The SOHR said remaining rebel-held areas in the south-east of the city came under heavy artillery fire overnight. At least 15 people were killed in government bombardments on Tuesday, it added. Tens of thousands of civilians are still trapped in the last of the rebel-held districts. The BBC's Lyse Doucet in Aleppo says officials there are preparing for another exodus, as families try to flee under fire in an extremely dire situation. A statement by the rebel Aleppo Leadership Council said civilians were in great danger, and it would support any initiative to ease their suffering. "Civilians should be either protected or evacuated to a safe area where they will not be under the mercy of [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad and his henchmen," it said. It proposed: Food supplies are exhausted in eastern Aleppo and there are no functioning hospitals after months of heavy bombardment. However, the Syrian government has ruled out any further truces in Aleppo, and Russia and China on Monday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on a week-long ceasefire. French President Francois Hollande responded to the veto by accusing Russia of "systematic obstruction" which "bolsters the regime of Bashar al-Assad in its destructive drive which is harming the defenceless civilian population". In a conference call on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described all the remaining rebels in eastern Aleppo as "terrorists," saying that they had united around the jihadist group formerly known as al-Nusra Front. Meanwhile the Russian defence ministry reported that a Russian military adviser in Syria had been killed by rebel artillery fire. Col Ruslan Galitsky died of his wounds several days after the attack, on a residential area of government-held western Aleppo, it said. London Fire Brigade told people living near to the fire to keep their doors and windows closed to protect them from the smoke. Luckily nobody was injured during the fire and the team managed to get the blaze under control early on Sunday morning. It's not yet known how the fire started. Earlier this morning, Charles Hanks, the station manager, said: "Crews were confronted with a large fire when they arrived and are now working hard to confine it to the bakery and stop it from spreading to any neighbouring factory units." "The fire is producing a lot of smoke so we are advising residents to keep their doors and windows closed as a precaution while it is going on. Thankfully though no injuries have been reported," he added. Morris will join the Oval side in July when West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo leaves south London to play in the Caribbean Premier League.

Morris has played two Tests, 11 one-day internationals and six T20 matches for South Africa - and hit 68 off 34 balls to help set up a one-wicket win in the fourth one-dayer of the recent series against England. He is set to play for Delhi Daredevils in this year's Indian Premier League, having previously represented the Chennai Super Kings.

The service's trust says it has received 19,151 "non-urgent" calls since August, 2014, with only 318 of these requiring an ambulance. A woman from Rhyl, Denbighshire, also told 999 she had "pulled her side reaching for her charger". The trust said such calls put more needy patients' lives "at risk". The Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust said a patient in Pontypool, Torfaen, told a call handler they had a burning face because they "tried to eat a Scotch bonnet chilli pepper", in October 2014. A caller from Wrexham also complained in November, 2014, of an injury after they had "punched a punch machine". The trust's head of clinical services, Richard Lee, said: "Calls of this type put people's lives at risk as the ambulance attending that patient is not available for a serious road accident, heart attack or stroke. "Once again, we urge the public to 'choose well' to ensure busy emergency services are available for those who need them most urgently." The lawsuit claims she was fired after refusing his sexual advances. Ms Carlson worked for the conservative-leaning US network for 11 years before her contract expired in June. Mr Ailes denies the allegations and alleges Ms Carlson filed the suit in retaliation for not having her contract renewed. Ms Carlson first co-presented the morning programme Fox & Friends before moving to her own show, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, in 2013. The lawsuit, obtained by Politico, claims that when she moved to her own show, Mr Ailes "reduced her compensation and withheld network support and promotion" for her show. "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," Mr Ailes allegedly said. Ms Carlson, who won the Miss America contest in 1989, alleges that Ailes said he had "slept with three former Miss Americas, but not with her". The complaint also alleges that Mr Ailes instructed her to turn around in his office so he could look at her backside and that fellow anchor Steve Doocy "regularly [treated] her in a sexist and condescending way" and regarded her as a "blond female prop". Mr Ailes also allegedly called her a "man hater", "killer" and that she needed to "get along with the boys". It is not her first time dealing with the matter - in her book, Getting Real, she writes about the experience of a television executive who "threw himself on top of [her] and stuck his tongue down [her throat]". "Notwithstanding her strong performance and tireless work ethic," the lawsuit reads, "Ailes denied Ms Carlson fair compensation, desirable assignments and other career-enhancing opportunities in retaliation for her complaints of harassment and discrimination because she rejected his sexual advances." But Mr Ailes said Ms Carlson had "conveniently" decided to pursue the case when she realised her contract would not be renewed. "This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously," he said. Fox parent company 21st Century Fox said it had full confidence in Mr Ailes but would conduct an internal investigation.

The university had a £750,000 budget for the Docklands campus but spent £319,000, and four staff were employed. It rented the space but did not go any further having "tested the market". Unions previously criticised USW for "wasting money" when it said it was no longer viable to retain both campuses in Newport, placing 90 jobs at risk. The Caerleon campus is being closed and no new students are being recruited for courses there. A USW spokesman said: "Withdrawing the London centre project earlier than originally planned was a prudent decision taken due to changes in market conditions. "The financial investment in the London centre will be included in the university's financial statements in due course." The spokesman added the business case had been predicated on recruiting international students, but changes to visa regulations had "introduced a level of complexity" which had affected the project's viability. He said they had had applicants but had made the decision not to enrol any. Gareth Morgans, GMB regional organiser for Wales, said: "It's absolutely a slap in the face. Our members feel betrayed by the university. "I have up to 90 members at Caerleon University in Newport at risk of redundancy. "To them this news is devastating; that such a frivolous waste of money has been undertaken by the university on a venture that as far as we can see was never going to materialise. "They've recruited staff there. If this money had been put into Caerleon to repair the building where it needs repair and to recruiting students, I am sure Caerleon could be vibrant." The MP for Torfaen, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said: "Clearly if no students have enrolled on the course there must be very serious concerns about the value for money of the course. "What I will be seeking is answers as to precisely why that has happened and indeed why that was given a priority at the same time there were issues with the Caerleon campus." But Ken Richards, a former member of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, backed the university's London move. He told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: "I think they were right to try but perhaps they might have looked at the competition first to see what they were likely to come up against from more prestigious universities." The stock dropped around 5% in its first day of conditional trading to 235p, after being priced at 250p per share by the firm. Shares opened at 244p and dropped as low as 231p at one point, even though it had been over-subscribed. Its owners, private equity firms Permira, Charterhouse and CVC, sold their entire stakes in the AA. The motoring association initially said the company would be valued at about £1.385bn, but its market capitalisation dropped to £1.313bn on Monday. Institutional investors, including Aviva, Blackrock, Legal & General, Invesco, and Lansdowne Partners, backed a management buy-in led by former Green Flag boss Bob MacKenzie, who has been appointed as the AA's executive chairman. "We will work with the existing management and the AA's loyal workforce to deliver an enhanced experience for all our members and customers, and to serve the broader needs of the UK motorist," Mr MacKenzie said in a statement. "Our offer will enable the AA to become an independent publicly-listed company and we look forward to creating substantial value for all our stakeholders." The firm's stock market flotation echoed that of sister company Saga, which closed flat on its debut. The AA was formed by motoring enthusiasts in 1905 primarily to avoid police speed traps. It is best known for its breakdown recovery service, but also sells insurance and financial products. The organisation voted to demutualise in 1999 and to be acquired by Centrica for £1.1bn. Private equity forms CVC and Permira bought the company from Centrica for £1.75bn in October 2004.

Automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades were among arms found when they intercepted the attackers' truck, police in the capital Bujumbura told the BBC Great Lakes Service. The police have made two arrests. At least 240 people have died since April, after the president decided to run for a controversial third term. Zenon Ndaruvukanye escaped unhurt from the attack in Kajaga, western Bujumbura, in which his police officer bodyguard was shot dead. People from both sides of Burundi's political divide have been killed in attacks on an almost daily basis in recent months. The US said this week it will place sanctions on four current and former officials in Burundi in connection with the continuing violence there. Earlier this month, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution strongly condemning the escalating violence. The French-drafted resolution also paves the way for a possible deployment of blue-helmeted UN peacekeepers. Burundi's constitutional court backed Mr Nkurunziza's third-term bid, as his first term as president did not count towards the constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by MPs, rather than in a popular election. Mr Nkurunziza was duly re-elected with 70% of the vote in July. 10.4m population 50 years - life expectancy for a man 2nd poorest country in the world 85% are Hutu, 14% Tutsi 300,000 died in civil war The company, which operates sites in Moodieburn and Bellshill, provides products for markets across the world. The trading update led to the company's share price falling more than 20%. The firm, which has seen its market valuation drop 44% since March, said it now planned to introduce new products and drive "production efficiencies". Devro has grown with the rising demand for meat-based food from developing countries. It makes collagen-based casings, mainly for sausages, with plants in Australia, the USA, China, the Czech Republic, and in North Lanarkshire. Despite reporting improvements to sales in Russia and south-east Asia, the company said it had suffered problems with the transition to a new manufacturing plant in South Carolina. In August, the firm reported problems with the transfer of customers onto new products and capacity constraints during the transition to the new factory. As a result, revenue in South America fell 9% in the first half of the year. With its trading update, the company announced plans to grow sales through "improved commercial capabilities", introducing new products and driving production efficiencies. Those changes are expected to offset the fall in the volume of sales - partially in 2017 and fully in 2018. The traditionally London-based club are moving 82 miles north of their current High Wycombe home to play in Coventry. Nearly 3,000 people have signed a petition to protest against the move, which has seen the club buy a 50% stake in the Ricoh Arena as part of the deal. Coventry City will continue to play there still as tenants of the stadium. Wasps chief executive Nick Eastwood has previously described the move as a "watershed moment" in the club's history. The club were reportedly an hour from administration when businessman Derek Richardson took over last year, but they continue to lose £3m a season playing at Wycombe Wanderers' Adams Park ground, and Eastwood has said the move will secure the long-term future of the team. Wasps have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years. Coventry already has a long-established rugby union club, Coventry, which was formed more than 130 years ago and currently plays in National League One. The city's councillors supported a deal to sell the authority's share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership club. The council said the move guaranteed Coventry City Football Club's continuing tenancy at the stadium. The football club, who recently returned to the stadium after a two-year dispute over rent, would also have "primacy over match fixtures", it added.

Schools Minister David Laws said schools should not be relying on their brightest pupils to score well in inspections and league tables. Mr Laws said there would be increasing focus on how well schools boosted the results of their disadvantaged pupils. They must focus "relentlessly" on closing the achievement gap, he said. Speaking at the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers conference in Liverpool, he said: "The chief inspector [Sir Michael Wilshaw] has made clear that Ofsted will increasingly prioritise this area too. "No school, however impressive, can be an 'outstanding school' if it is not achieving excellence for its most disadvantaged pupils. "So, even where overall attainment is high, we want schools to focus relentlessly on closing this gap by improving outcomes for those from disadvantaged backgrounds." Mr Laws told delegates it was "quite literally intolerable" that in some schools and certain areas of the country almost eight in 10 children on free school meals - a key measure of poverty - failed to get five good GCSEs, including maths and English. At GCSE level there is a 27% gap between the results of poor children and their peers, he said. "This appalling gap between the life chances of poor children and the rest of the student population is a scar on the face of our education system in this country," he added. Mr Laws said it would be "quite wrong" to blame teachers for this "miserable outcome" for those children as the gap was caused largely by inequalities in society. But he said schools could rise to the challenge and make full use of the pupil premium - a payment worth around £900 per eligible pupil from this September - which has been designed to help schools raise results for poorer children. "And I now need your help to show that the pupil premium is working and that it will close that gap between the outcomes of rich and poor children." Mr Laws also appeared to offer an olive branch to teachers, saying they did one of the most important jobs in the country. Mr Laws said schools currently had one of the best generation of teachers and "we should be willing to acknowledge that". "Too often, politicians talk about education as if we have some unique monopoly of high aspirations for our young people "But... I have yet to find anyone who works in education who is complacent about the huge gaps between the educational outcomes for children from rich and poor backgrounds." He added: "We do appreciate the job you do - genuinely and sincerely." His conciliatory words come after delegates passed a motion of no confidence in Education Secretary Michael Gove and the Chief Inspector for Schools in England, Sir Michael Wilshaw. ATL members said the pressure put upon the teaching profession by both men was "horrendous". ATL general secretary Mary Bousted had also raised concerns about Mr Gove's "wrong-headed" policies. Babthorpe Hall Farm, near Selby in North Yorkshire, said the free-range hens had come to the end of their working lives. Owner Sheena Seels said there had already been a bit of interest in the birds since her daughter Ellie posted a message on social media. "It's been a very positive response, 300 have gone this morning," she said. Ms Seels said the mass sale of birds was quite common in the egg industry, as producers restocked with younger birds. "Once they come to 72 weeks their shell quality goes as the hens get older," she said. The brood of Bovan Brown hens are described as having "lovely friendly temperaments". Ms Seels said potential buyers needed to have enough space for the birds to wander about and they would be better with other chickens. "They do like company. They are very sociable," she said. "They look after themselves, so long as they are fed and watered."

Ray Cole, from Deal, Kent, was detained with his Moroccan partner by police who approached the pair at a bus stop in Marrakech last month, his family said. His son Adrian Cole said the retired magazine publisher, 69, was jailed for four months on Thursday. Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke warned travellers that Morocco was unsafe for British tourists. The Conservative MP told the Pink News: "I have been doing all I can to help free Mr Cole from these appalling charges. "I urge people not to visit Morocco. If you go there you are at serious risk of facing trumped up charges for medieval crimes. "The message is clear: Morocco is not safe for British tourists." A #freeraycole hashtag has been set up on Twitter and a Facebook page has also been set up calling for Mr Cole's release. His family claim his health is at risk due to the conditions in the city's central prison.

The cash will see improvements to outpatient facilities, and enhanced accommodation for day case, endoscopy and dental departments. The hospital's new birthing unit will also benefit from extra investment. The additional money is part of a pledge to continue spending on the hospital as part of the 2015-16 draft budget deal with the Liberal Democrats. Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said the investment would "make a real difference to patients in mid Wales". The outline agreement on spending follows £2.3m funding for work on the hospital roof and the birthing unit. Improvements will also be made to the hospital's entrance and reception, while dental services will be relocated and improved. Powys Teaching Health Board is now expected to finalise the full business case for the redevelopment in the new year, with work getting under way later in 2017. The announcements include investments by Vodafone and Barclays designed to support start-ups; and the opening of a video games studio by one of Japan's richest businessmen. The news was timed to coincide with the Olympics to maximise publicity. It follows recent announcements from Google, Facebook, Amazon, Intel and Skype about new projects in London. Tech City - a hub of digital and creative businesses located in East London - accounts for the bulk of the latest news, including: Elsewhere, Sophia Search - a University of Ulster spin-out which provides software tools to help firms catalogue and analyse their data - has secured $3.7m (£2.4m) of investment allowing it to hire new staff in both the UK and US. Airwatch - a US company that helps companies manage what apps and content are installed on their employees' smartphones and tablets - has announced plans to hire 75 new staff, doubling the size of its European headquarters in Milton Keynes. And Tribal - a British software service provider to the training industry - is creating 40 new posts in Sheffield after winning more than £32m worth of contracts from Australia and New Zealand. Further details will be announced at a London event organised by the government's UK Trade and Investment department to take advantage of the fact the Olympics have attracted many foreign officials and business leaders to the city. "The government is determined to make Britain the technology centre of Europe, with London's Tech City at its heart," said Chancellor George Osborne ahead of the event. London's tech ambitions face competition from elsewhere in Europe. Berlin, Tallinn, Barcelona and Paris are among other cities with rising start-up scenes, while slightly further afield Israel's "Silicon Wadi" - based in and around Tel Aviv - has also benefited from its links to the Israeli military. However, over recent months London has been able to claim several coups. In April, Microsoft's Skype division announced it was creating about 100 posts to help upgrade its video chat program and work on a version for Xbox games consoles. In May, chipmaker Intel said it was opening a centre in the capital to test "smart city" technologies using sensors to monitor and adjustment things such as water supplies, traffic flows and air pollution. Then in July, Amazon revealed plans to build a media development centre in the city to improve its on-demand TV and movie services, which include Lovefilm. The same month Facebook said it was creating its first engineering team outside of the US. Although the team only involves 12 people, the firm said it intended to recruit more once they had settled in. Google has also set up a "creator space" at its Soho office to help members of its YouTube service create professional-looking videos. The facility includes a green screen to allow users to be superimposed over pre-filmed backdrops as well as professional editing suites and cameras.

The Time To Change initiative, run by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, works with schools, employers and local communities to reduce discrimination and raise awareness. It has received £30m in funding so far. More than 800 schools and almost 400 employers have taken part. The charities say that as a result of the campaign, the proportion of people reporting discrimination as a result of mental health issues has dropped from 42% to 28%. Earlier this week, data from NHS Digital revealed that young women are the highest risk group in England for mental health problems. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Tackling the stigma associated with mental health problems is essential if we are to break down barriers and encourage people to seek help before they reach crisis point. "Time To Change is already making a difference, but with recent studies showing that just 50% of people seek help following a suicide attempt, it's clear that we still have major work to do." Jo Loughran, interim director of Time To Change, said: "Since Time To Change began, we've made real progress in transforming public attitudes and empowering thousands of people to tackle discrimination, but we've always said that this is the work of a generation and there's still more work to be done." London, Liverpool and Birmingham have expressed interest in staging the event after host city Durban pulled out. Manchester City Council said it was ready "to ensure the delivery of a successful games" if asked. Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he would be "happy to work with" Manchester. However, in a tweet he said Liverpool would "challenge" any attempt to "gift the games to London or anyone else without a proper bidding and procurement process". It is understood Manchester would be willing to act as a host city, or in collaboration with other locations. The city hosted the games in 2002. In a statement, the council said: "If we were invited to help, we would be pleased to work with the Commonwealth Games Federation and the government to ensure the delivery of a successful 2022 Games in England." A spokesman for the Mayor of London said the games are "a wonderful sporting event" and London "would listen to any proposal to host in 2022". "However there would be a number of practical issues to consider with the government and other stakeholders, including the substantial amount of funding it would require." The "Pupil Offer" will allow pupils to work with organisations in the arts, science, sport, culture and heritage. Students in the first three years of secondary education will take part when it is launched in September. Sports Wales, The Arts Council and the National Museum of Wales will all be involved among others. The 40 schools in the scheme are already part of the Schools Challenge Cymru initiative, where £20m has been given to under performing schools to help them improve. In November, education minister Huw Lewis told a conference of university leaders he expected them to get involved with the Pupil Offer by opening their doors and facilities to pupils. Concerns were raised, however, about how practical that would be as students would need background checks before working with under-18s.

The structure, also known as the sphere and the golf ball, has been a feature of the north Caithness coast for almost 60 years. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has recommended that the DFR be decontaminated by 2022 so it can then be demolished. There were previous plans to retain the dome. Historic Scotland had considered listing the building so that it would be conserved. In 2007, Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), the company that manages the site, released the results of public consultation on future uses for the dome. Suggestions included turning it into a hotel, museum and even a nightclub. However, because the structure is contaminated with low levels of radioactivity and due to high maintenance costs, it was decided to demolish it. In 2011, plans to repaint the dome at a cost of £500,000 were cancelled. The repaint had been done every 10 years to protect the dome's metal work. DSRL said that following an assessment the steel was deemed thick enough to last as a protection until the reactor inside was dismantled. The year 2022 is among planned "milestones" in the NDA's latest annual business plan for DSRL. The bulk of the plan sets out targets for the next 12 months of the wider programme to clean up and demolish Dounreay, a former experimental nuclear power site. The dome is one of the most recognised features of Dounreay. In the 1950s, a sphere was considered to be the best shape of structure to contain a gases from the reactor, if there was a breach. The sphere is made up of plates of steel that were welded into the shape of a sphere. In the 1960s, it featured in a series of special edition stamps promoting Britain's "white heat of technology".

The attacker, said to have been armed with a knife, was shot, injured and arrested by police in a brief standoff after fleeing the scene on foot. His motives are unclear, but there are no indications this was a terrorist attack, police say. In December an Islamist attacker drove a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring 49. In Heidelberg the attacker, described by police as a 35-year-old German "without a migration background", drove what is thought to be a rental car into pedestrians in one of the city's central squares, injuring three people. One of them, a 73-year-old German man, later died in hospital. The attacker then left the car but was tracked down, shot and seriously injured by police near an old swimming pool. Police were unable to confirm local media reports that the attacker was mentally disturbed. He is thought to have acted alone. The two injured people were a 32-year-old Austrian national and a 29-year-old Bosnian woman, police said. Their injuries are said to be minor and they have been discharged from hospital.

Earlier this month a £1.84bn package was announced for more than 50 projects across Tayside and North East Fife as part of the Tay Cities Deal. The university has launched a £24m bid, as part of this, to further redevelop the former paper mill at the site. St Andrews has already spent £25m on developing a green energy centre at Eden Campus. The centre pumps hot water four miles to heat university buildings at the main St Andrews site. More than 350 university staff are to relocate from St Andrews to the Eden Campus in 2018. The Cities Deal investment would see the redevelopment of an additional 5,500 sq m of existing derelict buildings. The new jobs would be technical, academic, administration and support. Derek Watson, St Andrews University quaestor and factor, said: "With Tay Cities Deal help, we can continue to redevelop buildings and provide the necessary infrastructure to co-locate exciting new industry alongside academic expertise from across Scotland. "Our plans for Eden Campus are ambitious but with help from our partners in the Tay Cities region and government support we believe we can make a genuine contribution to the government's strategic objectives and society as a whole." Willie Rennie, North East Fife MSP, said: "I am delighted that the university is putting forward ambitious proposals to further develop their Eden Campus. "This is a strong bid which would build on the existing investment. "The university's redevelopment of Guardbridge has my full support." The company stated it is confident it will produce a 60in (152cm) Ultra HD rollable TV by 2017. LG unveiled one of its first flexible TVs at CES - a global consumer electronics and technology trade show - earlier this year. Experts say flexible screens could see TVs used in more creative ways. The new flexible panel has a resolution of 1,200x810, which is left undistorted even after it has been rolled into a 3cm cylinder. LG says the flexibility was achieved thanks to using a backplane made of "high molecular substance-based polyimide film" instead of plastic. The second panel is transparent and is said to greatly surpass earlier models, with the company boasting of a significant reduction in hazy images and a 30% increase in transmittance, which is responsible for the screen's transparent effect. The company has claimed its new screens prove they are on track for much larger, Ultra HD-capable flexible screens in the near future, asserting they are "confident" they can deliver a 60in rollable panel by 2017. "Flexible screens are an exciting prospect. First off, they're far more durable than conventional screens, meaning that we can expect to see bigger, better screens in, for example, aeroplanes," said Stephen Graves, online deputy editor at Stuff.tv. "They also create the potential for some completely new gadget designs. Imagine a 10in (25cm) iPad that you can fold out into a 16in (40cm) screen - effectively doubling up as a small desktop computer or TV monitor." Jeremy White, product editor of Wired magazine said that these new screens would be ideal for retail or exhibition display. "Being able to curve screens around complex retail display units or using the transparency to have the screen envelop the product itself on a stand would certainly be eye-catching. "And of course this is all leading to flexible tablets as well, which will possibly be the most useful application of flexible screens to the average consumer." Evan Kypreos, editor of TrustedReviews, said that rollable TVs could be produced by 2017 but warned they'd cost far too much for the average consumer. "If you've got the cash to splash then a rollable TV could create an experience similar to owning a projector, where you can easily hide away the screen when not in use, but without the noise and complexity of an actual projector. "Instead of 60in-plus TV screens I think the more interesting application of this tech could be in wearables. Curved screen smartwatches with a whole wrist screen are an obvious example." Earlier this year LG unveiled a 77in flexible 4K OLED TV with a controllable curve, however this is not yet available and it is not known when it is likely to go on sale.

St Andrews University in Fife has said it could create 500 new jobs at its Eden Campus at Guardbridge. [NEXT_CONCEPT] LG has announced the release of two new paper-thin TV panels, with one that is so flexible it can be rolled into a 3cm diameter tube.

There's live coverage of the Boxing Day games on Radio Ulster and the BBC Sport website Gambling tycoon James Packer and David Gyngell, who heads the Nine Entertainment Group, were seen fighting at Bondi Beach on Sunday. It is not clear what caused the brawl between the two, who are good friends. The incident has dominated the Australian media, with photos reportedly sold for a six-figure sum. "Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command has commenced an investigation into an incident that occurred about 14:00 Sunday... at Bondi Beach," a police statement said. "Police have not yet received an official complaint but have appealed to anyone who witnessed, or has vision or images of the incident." James Packer, son of media tycoon Kerry Packer, is one of Australia's richest men, with an estimated wealth of around A$6bn ($5.6bn, £3.3bn) from his gaming empire. David Gyngell, a top-level media executive, was best man at his wedding, as Mr Packer was at his. Photographs showed the two men trading punches, wrestling and swapping headlocks. Video footage then showed them grappling on the ground, with three other men trying to separate them. After the fight, the men released a joint statement. "We have been friends for 35 years and still are," it read. "In that time we have had our fair share of ups and downs. We respect each other and neither of us will be commenting further." The brawl has attracted enormous media interest in Australia, with tabloids devoting pages of coverage to what one is calling the "Bondi biffo".

Petrol bombs were hurled inside the courthouse and a fire broke out in the office of judge Nikolai Didyk, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported. Last month the Ukrainian lawyer of one of the two Russians was found dead. He had been kidnapped and brutally beaten. Ukraine has charged the Russian pair with waging war in eastern Ukraine. Alexander Alexandrov and Yevgeny Yerofeyev were captured in eastern Ukraine last May. They are suspected of serving with Russian military intelligence, the GRU. Russia says they were volunteers who had left active service. A shaky ceasefire is holding in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels control large swathes of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Western leaders and Nato accuse Russia of helping the rebels with heavy weapons and regular troops - something Moscow has repeatedly denied. The Kiev fire was quickly extinguished and no vital court documents were damaged, reports say. Ukraine's chief military prosecutor, Anatoliy Matios, was quoted as saying several men had infiltrated the court premises and hurled several petrol bombs, before fleeing the scene in a car, which was later found abandoned. He called it an attempt to intimidate the judge. The trial of the two Russians is a high-profile case - they are accused of "terrorism" and waging a war of aggression against Ukraine. Lawyer Yuriy Hrabovsky was defending Mr Alexandrov but disappeared last month mid-trial. His body was found in a forest 125km (78 miles) south of Kiev. Ukrainian officials say Mr Alexandrov and Mr Yerofeyev confessed to serving in the Russian special services, but later retracted their confessions. The two men deny charges of terrorism. Prosecutors have called for life sentences. During his kidnap, on 6 March, Hrabovsky made a video statement, saying he was giving up defending Mr Alexandrov. Investigators say he appeared to be drugged in the video. A kidnapper asked him "Why? Why?", to which he replied: "I made a mistake." He was last seen rushing into his office and grabbing something from the safe, accompanied by an unidentified man, Anna Nemtsova of BBCRussian reports. Two men have been detained in connection with the murder, but their possible role has not been explained. According to Iosif Bronz, vice-president of the Ukrainian lawyers' union, the murder "looks like a special operation". The UK Home Office wants to build a 51-bed "short-term holding facility" on Abbotsinch Road to house those awaiting removal from the country. It follows the announcement last month that the controversial Dungavel removal centre in Lanarkshire is to close in 2017. The plans are currently being considered by Renfrewshire Council. If approved, the new building would be constructed on a former British Airways social club, known as The Clansman, and feature 20 bedrooms and ancillary accommodation over two floors. The plans say the building would have to be "robust in order to hold and safeguard individuals detained by Home Office Immigration enforcement". The accommodation, which would be encircled by a 3.6m fence, would feature 12 bedrooms for male detainees and five for females as well as two bedrooms for those classed as vulnerable and one for a disabled person. The Home Office said the "vast majority" of stays there would be for less than a week. UK Immigration Minister Robert Goodwill said the facility would provide easy access to London airports, "from where most removals take place, meaning those with no right to be in the UK can be removed with less delay". Mr Goodwill also said the closure of Dungavel would result in "significant savings to the public purse". Dungavel, which opened near Strathaven in 2001, can hold up to 249 detainees. It is the only such centre in Scotland and has been the subject of numerous protests, which branded the site "racist and inhumane" Much of the criticism concentrated on the detention of children at the facility, before the practice was ended in 2010. More recently it has focused on the length of time detainees were held at the facility and the conditions inside. Last year, the BBC revealed that dozens of failed asylum seekers had been held at Dungavel for months and in some cases more than a year.

Samantha Newport, of the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), says the search lasted nearly three hours. The UN is urgently seeking answers from the authorities. The base provides aid to those affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. The BBC's Martin Patience in Lagos says one possible reason for the search could be the camp's name - Red Roof. Rumours have been swirling in Maiduguri that the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has been hiding out in a compound with the same name. Edward Kallon, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Nigeria has expressed grave concern following the search. Mr Kallon says that he is extremely concerned that the actions by the security forces could be "detrimental to the critical work that is being carried out every day to support the most vulnerable in the region". The UN ordered local staff to work from home today following the incident. It also said it grounded helicopters - which provide humanitarian assistance to far - flung camps - as a precautionary measure. Fatim Jawara was on board a boat that ran into trouble last month while crossing from Libya to Europe, the country's football federation says. Her family confirmed news of her death, according to association president Lamin Kaba Bajo. Many of the undocumented migrants who arrive in Italy are Gambians. The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has been accused of intimidating the opposition - charges he denies. Jawara made her debut with the national women's side a year ago, after playing in the junior team. "She will be remembered for saving a penalty kick in a friendly encounter involving the national soccer team and the Glasgow Girls from Scotland," Mr Bajo told the AFP news agency. In a Facebook post, the federation said the manner in which she had died was "shocking". The coach of the Red Scorpions, a local team she played in, described Fatim as a very lovely person who always smiled. Chorro Mbega told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that Jawara was a member of the squad that represented the Gambia in the 2012 under-17 World Cup in Azerbaijan, having first joined the team in 2009. "Fati was a player who can play anywhere on the field. I'm really sad about this because she fought so much to be number one," Ms Mbega said. She said she was not aware of Jawara being frustrated but added that Red Scorpion players were not paid salaries. More than 4,200 migrants fleeing conflict and poverty have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean this year, figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) show. Fatim Jawara's absence was nationally noticed when The Gambia national female team was schedule to play Senegalese club Casa Sports during celebrations to mark a girls football festival recently. She played for local club Red Scorpions FC in Serekunda town, just outside Banjul, where she made her way to being first-choice goalkeeper, leading to her selection for the national team. Her death in the Mediterranean has shocked Gambians and brings back the issue of illegal migration facing the country into a shaper focus. Rumours started flying that Fatim had gone on the "Back Way", the now famous name for the boat journey across the Mediterranean to Italy, according to Red Scorpions captain Fatu Fatty. "A few days later we confirmed from her family that an agent had contacted them to say Fatim was among those on the boat that capsized," Ms Fatty explained in tears. "She was everyone's friend in the team. Jovial and funny to an extreme," Ms Fatty said. A Gambia Football Federation official noted she was not the first footballer to have suffered such a fate but she was one of the most high-profile to have died this way.

About 5,000 people had pledged support to the crowdfunding page after the family of Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline, Fife, expressed concerns about the police investigation. Mr Wringe, who has a background in counter terrorism, said MIS provides intelligence services to government agencies and Fortune 500 clients. Mr Mckeague, a gunner at RAF Honington, was last seen at about 03:25 BST walking alone in Bury St Edmunds. He was seen walking into a dead-end loading bay area known at the "horseshoe" but not seen coming out again.

A second public search for Mr Mckeague will take place on 22 January. More than 60 volunteers joined in the first on 17 December. And in many ways, over the last several months, it has been a gripping thriller for interested Malaysians. But on Tuesday, Malaysia's top prosecutor cleared Prime Minister Najib Razak of corruption in a long-running financial scandal that involved millions of dollars, an overseas donor and questions about government conduct to boot. And what a gripping tale it has been. Here's what we know: So we're left with yet another mystery - this time a sum of a smaller amount, but big questions all the same. Some of Malaysia's ruling party leaders have reportedly said money was used in the general election of 2013 - but critics say it was used to buy political patronage. And in many ways, many of the previous questions have yet to be answered. Why did the prime minister need this money in the first place? And what of the vigorously denied allegation that the funds came from IMDB - the ailing state investment fund which has Mr Najib as chairman of its board of advisors. This scandal couldn't have come at a worse time for Malaysia - the country has been hit by falling oil prices and the reputational damage to its economy can't fully be quantified. It's thought that millions of dollars have been pulled out of the Malaysian economy as a result of the impact of the global financial turmoil in recent months. Further, there is a nervousness surrounding the way the economy is being run - and the perceived lack of transparency there isn't helping. The fact that Malaysian shares and the currency barely reacted to this news on Tuesday just reflects the ongoing fatigue that many Malaysians have with the state of affairs. But every good thriller or mystery usually has a twist. Investigations have been completed and the case is closed in Malaysia, however, 1MBD may yet have to answer questions from foreign authorities looking into the case of the "mysterious millions".

Constantin Radu, 32, of Salt Hill Way, Slough, admitted causing death by dangerous driving after his car mounted a pavement on Wexham Road in September last year, hitting two men. Jacob Chapman-Pickett, 20, died the following day and the other man was treated in hospital. Radu was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Thursday. Mr Chapman-Pickett was due to start university on the day he was hit by Radu's Rover 45. His father, Keith Pickett, said: "His honesty, loyalty and sense of fairness, along with his sense of humour, cheeky grin and willingness to help anybody, were things that made this world a better place. "A part of me died with Jacob and there will always be a part of myself missing." Radu was also sentenced four months, to run concurrently, for driving with excess alcohol and disqualified from driving for 13 years and three months. He had no insurance or UK driving licence and had a previous conviction for drinking and driving in Romania. PC Victoria Jones said: "This is a tragic and unnecessary loss of life caused by the reckless behaviour of a driver who had been drinking.

Ally Calvert collapsed in Abbey Wood, south-east London, on Saturday, and died in hospital two hours later. Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for nitrous oxide to be made illegal in the wake of Mr Calvert's death. But his family have said an underlying heart condition was to blame. The force said Mr Calvert was believed to have taken nitrous oxide and drank alcohol at a party, but a post-mortem examination had proved "inconclusive". Further toxicology tests are being carried out, but Mr Calvert's family have said they do not believe the gas was responsible for his death. In a post shared on social media, one relative wrote: "As a family, we would like to express how overwhelmed we have been with the support for the recent loss of Ally. "We can now confirm, that the use of balloons/nitrous oxide did not cause the death of our baby, as we originally knew anyway." They said the underlying heart condition which led to his passing, which was "inevitable" and happened regardless of "where he was, or who he was with at the time". Friends of the teenager, who described Mr Calvert as "the nicest guy you will ever meet", started a social media campaign titled #AllysBigHeart, in memory of him. Speaking after Mr Calvert's death, but before the post-mortem result was revealed, Sir Bernard said nitrous oxide use had resulted in a "terrible outcome". He told BBC London it was "clear" the drug is becoming more popular and called for it to be outlawed. He said: "When I used to go to Notting Hill Carnival, the canisters were everywhere," he said. "There's a law going through Parliament about psycho-active substances. "I suspect it may be one of the substances to be banned." The incident happened on Fife Street between 04:30 BST and 05:00 BST on Saturday. The police have appealed for witnesses to the crash. York Road is closed between its junctions with Skegoneill Avenue and Alexandra Park Avenue. Diversions are in place. The words were written in chalk after the graffiti on the memorial near where Mr Foot lived in Plymouth was removed. Some of the words read: "We are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves..." The graffiti is being investigated by Devon and Cornwall Police. Click here for live updates on this story The memorial, near Mr Foot's family home in Freedom Fields, was found daubed with swastikas and references to the British National Party and English Defence League on Sunday. Plymouth Labour councillor Chaz Singh welcomed the "positive" message of the mystery pavement artist. "It touches you when you have a response like that," he said. "Plymouth is a beautiful city to live in and the minds of a few should not stop us from being who we are." The words were later cleaned from the pavement by the city council. In response, Mr Singh said: "It was such a positive message, I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would have sanctioned removing it." Councillor Dave Downie, cabinet member for safer and stronger communities, said the street services team were "aware of the sensitivity of the site" but they had to remove the writing "as it is technically still graffiti".

Butler began his career with Portsmouth and made 48 appearances before moving to Torquay in July 2015. The 21-year-old started all but one of Torquay's league games last season but turned down an offer of a new deal. "I'm happy to have signed and I'm looking forward to the future and the start of pre-season," he said. Butler continued, "I've had a taste of League football with Portsmouth and last season I had to drop down to the Conference. "I've benefited from that and played a lot of games and I'm ready to get back into League Two and hopefully play well for Newport." Pat Richards scored the only points of the first half, crossing after two minutes but missing the conversion. Rhys Hanbury missed a penalty to leave Catalans 4-0 ahead at the break, before Vincent Duport widened the gap. Corey Thompson and Hanbury drew Widnes level, but tries from Dave Taylor and Eloi Pelissier and a Thomas Bosc drop-goal sank Widnes late on. Super League's surprise package Widnes suffered a disastrous Easter weekend, losing 28-10 to league leaders Warrington on Easter Friday before going down 20-12 to St Helens on Monday. And they travelled to France to take on a Catalans side who had secured convincing wins over Salford Red Devils and Castleford Tigers during the same period. Having trailed by four points at half-time, the Vikings produced a spirited display and battled back to 8-8 courtesy of a lovely floated pass from Joe Mellor out to Thompson and Hanbury's penalty following a Catalans' high tackle. But Taylor pounced on a loose ball as Catalans scored a fortuitous try before Bosc slotted a drop-goal and Eloi Pelissier stretched for the line to leave the French outfit level on points with third-placed Widnes in the table. Catalans: Escare, Broughton, Gigot, Duport, Richards, Bosc, Myler, Bousquet, Pelissier, Mason, Stewart, Taylor, Baitieri. Replacements: Aiton, Mounis, Elima, Maria. Widnes: Hanbury, Thompson, Dean, Runciman, Ah Van, Mellor, Gilmore, O'Carroll, Heremaia, Dudson, Whitley, Houston, Leuluai. Replacements: Manuokafoa, Chamberlain, Brooks, Johnstone. Police said a man entered the store in Fagley and kicked open a security door to get behind the counter. During a scuffle, the shopkeeper tried to defend himself with a baseball bat and was stabbed with a pocket knife. The suspect, said to be aged between 20 and 25, left the store on Fagley Road empty-handed. Police said the victim was left "badly traumatised". The 48-year-old shopkeeper received several cuts to the head in the incident which took place at about 20:00 GMT on Wednesday, and was taken to hospital. Det Insp Paula Bickerdike, of West Yorkshire Police, described it as "particularly nasty and violent attack which left the victim with a number of injuries to his head and face". "It could very easily have resulted in more serious injuries to the victim and we urgently need to identify the person responsible," she said.

10 May 2017 Last updated at 14:04 BST A lost Californian black bear had wandered onto this housing estate near to the city of Los Angeles. The big bear went for a swim in a backyard swimming pool but when it got too close one house, this family dog wanted to protect its home and chased the bear away. The bear goes to hide in a playground, before it headed off back into the trees and nearby forest. We hope this dog got an extra-tasty treat that night! The men, who may be armed, crawled through plumbing tunnels and climbed down the building using bed sheets for ropes. Authorities are determining whether the men had help from anyone inside or outside the Orange County Men's Jail when they made their escape on Friday. All three men were set to go on trial separately for violent crimes. "Each of the escapees should be considered dangerous," said Lt Jeff Hallock of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Jonathan Tieu, 20, Bac Duong, 43 and Hossein Nayeri, 37, used tools to cut through the wall of their dormitory. Clambering through the plumbing system, they made it to the roof and then abseiled to the ground. Sixteen hours passed before the jail staff noticed. They suspect the escape was a long time in the planning. "We're talking about breaching, in some places, significant amounts of steel, rebar and metal," said sheriff's lieutenant Jeff Hallock. "We're going to take a look at everybody who may have been assigned there. What I can assure you is that the compromises in security have been shored up.'' This is the first escape from this jail in 20 years, officials said. Tieu had been held on murder charges since 2013, Bac Duong was being held on attempted murder charges and Nayeri was being held on kidnapping and torture charges, among others. There is a $50,000 (£35,100) reward for information leading to their recapture. "There are people out there that know who these people are, who may have seen them. We're asking for phone calls, whether it's any piece of information you may have,'' Mr Hallock said. Last summer, New York state inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat used tools that allowed them to break through the walls of their cells to freedom, setting off three weeks of searching. Matt was later shot and killed by authorities while Sweat was captured. A prison aide was found to have provided the tools and will serve a prison term. Both men are named Shigeru Aoki. There can be many ways to write a name in Japanese with the same pronunciation, but in this case the pair use the same Chinese characters, or kanji. They could not even be distinguished by party, since both ran as independents. Votes are cast by writing the candidate's name on a ballot paper. One Shigeru Aoki was an older incumbent and the other a younger newcomer. Election officials asked voters to add their preferred candidate's age, or the words "incumbent" or "challenger" to their ballots to clarify their choice. Officials were also allowed to accept other clearly distinguishing observations. But subjective opinions, like "the better-looking one", were not acceptable, Kyodo news reported. Ballots with unclear distinctions or none were divided between the two Aokis in proportion to their clearly identifiable vote totals. To help voters, candidate lists at registration tables in polling stations displayed each candidate's age and whether they were currently in office or not. The men were among 32 candidates running for 30 seats. Some worried the fuss over the name issue might hurt other candidates, who might have received less attention as a result. Challenger Mr Aoki acknowledged that the issue had made him better known, the Mainichi newspaper reported. The pair - both originally from the construction trade - had similar policy platforms too. Both wanted greater self-sufficiency for the port city, which is famous for its castle and summer festival but somewhat faded since its heyday as a major trading gateway to Korea and China hundreds of years ago. Japanese media reported it is not the first time this situation has occurred, with one of the most recent cases being another city assembly battle, in 2003 in Naruto, about 70km (40 miles) from Tokyo.

The Sikorsky S-70 was carrying senior military officers and members of their families, among them several children. It came down in hilly terrain in Giresun province near the Black Sea. No cause of the crash has been given but the weather was poor at the time. The passengers were reportedly flying to Eid celebrations in Giresun. "Seven of our companions in arms, their wives and children have lost their lives," the army chief of staff said in a statement, without giving details of the fatalities. A brigadier general and two colonels were among the passengers, Turkish media said. The incident took place at about 17:15 local time (14:15 GMT) near Tohumluk village in the Alucra district of Giresun province, the army said. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters the accident resulted "purely from poor weather conditions". Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli, who travelled to the area of the crash, ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack. Police in Zimbabwe have arrested two people over the death of Cecil, the country's most famous lion, and say Mr Palmer may also face poaching charges. But Mr Palmer, from Minnesota, said he relied on professional guides to find a lion and obtain the necessary permits. He also said he only found out the lion's identity at the end of the hunt. The American tourist, who is believed to have paid about $50,000 (£32,000) to go on the hunt, is said to have shot the animal with a crossbow and rifle. It was later skinned and beheaded, according to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), a local charity. Two Zimbabwean men - a professional hunter and a farm owner - have been charged with poaching offences because the group did not have a hunting permit. They could face up to 15 years in prison in Zimbabwe if they are found guilty. They are due to appear in court on Wednesday. But Mr Palmer, who is thought to be back in the US, insisted that his guides had secured "all proper permits" for the hunt. "I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt," he said in a statement on Tuesday. He said he had not been contacted by authorities in Zimbabwe or the US but said he "will assist them in any inquiries they may have". "Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practise responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion," he added. The dental practice run by Mr Palmer was closed on Tuesday and a note was placed on the door referring visitors to a public relations firm, according to local press. The practice's Facebook page was removed from the site after being besieged by angry comments and the company website was also taken down. Zimbabwe, like many African countries, is battling to curb illegal hunting and poaching which threatens to make some of its wildlife extinct. The 13-year-old lion was a major tourist attraction at the country's famous Hwange National Park. Night-time pursuit He is believed to have been killed on 1 July but the carcass was not discovered until a few days later. The ZCTF said the hunters had used bait to lure him outside Hwange National Park during a night-time pursuit. Mr Palmer is said to have shot Cecil with a crossbow, injuring the animal. The group didn't find the wounded lion until 40 hours later, when he was shot dead with a gun. The animal had a GPS collar fitted for a research project by UK-based Oxford University that allowed authorities to track its movements. The hunters tried to destroy it, but failed, according to the ZCTF. On Monday, the head of the ZCTF told the BBC that Cecil "never bothered anybody" and was "one of the most beautiful animals to look at". The six cubs of Cecil will now be killed by the new male lion in the pride, Johnny Rodrigues added, in order to encourage the lionesses to mate with him. "That's how it works... it's in the wild. It's nature taking its course," he added. About a century ago there were around 200,000 lions roaming across Africa but that figure has dropped to less than 30,000 in recent years. Hunting lions is legal in several countries in southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, but groups must obtain a valid permit from authorities.

Last month, DUP leader Peter Robinson stepped aside as first minister and took all but one of his party's ministers out of the executive. Since then, ministers have repeatedly resigned and been reappointed due to a row over the status of the IRA. The Alliance Party has called a debate on whether that is damaging Stormont. The party has asked the Northern Ireland Assembly to note that some DUP ministers have "resigned and resumed office more than 20 times since 10 September 2015". Alliance has asked MLAs to vote on whether the "practice of rolling resignations has had a significant and detrimental effect on the governance of Northern Ireland and on the public's faith in the political institutions". The motion has been proposed by Alliance MLAs Stewart Dickson, Chris Lyttle and Trevor Lunn. The DUP introduced its resignations policy five-and-a-half weeks ago as a form of protest after police said some IRA members had been involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr. Mr McGuigan Sr, a former IRA man, was shot dead near his east Belfast home in August. Mr Lyttle said the debate was an opportunity to show people that there were MLAs and ministers working to deliver effective government. "We fail to see how the Ulster Unionist Party resignation and in particular the rolling resignations of the DUP - we think over 20 in the last month - are achieving anything other that to damage public confidence further in the institutions, to imperil our public services and indeed to bring the assembly into disrepute," he said. "They may also be in breach of the ministerial code which requires you to take office in good faith, to discharge your duties, to fully participate in the executive and to be accountable to the assembly, none of which is happening for those ministers." The DUP said that because of Sinn Féin's links to the IRA it could not do "business as usual" at Stormont until the issue of paramilitary activity was addressed. Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland's Sunday Politics programme, DUP MLA Peter Weir conceded that the resignations policy was "clearly seen as being messy". But he added: "We're more interested in achieving an outcome rather than in the process. "Let's remember why we are here. "We're here because there was a man murdered on the streets and the chief constable indicated that the murder was carried out by individuals who are connected up with an organisation [the IRA] which was connected up with a party in government [Sinn Féin]." Sinn Féin has repeatedly condemned the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr and said the IRA no longer exists. Fraser Gibbon, 20, of Cuminestown, is thought to have been working by the side of the B9170 road near the village when he was struck by a car. Although police officers and the ambulance service attended the scene, they were unable to save him. His relatives described him as "a gentle giant" and said his death left "a massive hole" in their lives. A statement issued through Police Scotland said: "Fraser was ripped from our lives and has left a massive hole that can never be filled. Fraser was described by all who knew him as a gentle giant, very much a family person who would do anything for anyone." They added that he was a "proud father, a doting uncle to two nieces and brother to three sisters who all loved him dearly. "He was the precious and deeply loved only son of Anne and Donald, and has been taken from us far too soon. "We would also like to offer sincere thanks to all who assisted at the scene."

Livermore, 25, failed a drugs test after his newborn son Jake Junior died. The FA ruled he should not be banned because of "the specific and unique nature of the circumstances". "I should have realised that he was in trouble and in a dark place, but you carry on and just think he's lost a bit of form," said Bruce, 54. "I said to my staff on numerous occasions last season that there was something not quite right with Jake, but I didn't identify what it was. I feel like I let him down a little bit." Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside the club would do "everything we can" to ensure the player gets the help he needs. Livermore has not played for the club since the 1-0 defeat by Burnley on 9 May, two weeks before the club were relegated back to the Championship. Former Manchester United defender Bruce does not expect him to return to first-team action for at least three weeks. The Tigers boss said he was "shocked and angry" at the time of the positive test, but acknowledged he had not known the player's personal circumstances. "In this macho industry of alpha males, people don't want to ask for help," he said. "Sometimes it takes a bigger man to ask for help and I think Jake has realised that. "We all think we're Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tarzan and it's not the case." Bruce said Livermore understands "some people will never forgive him". He added: "He's made a mistake, he's apologised and he wants to get back to a part of his life which he wants to do - playing professional football." The former Tottenham player returned to training on Thursday after serving a club and FA suspension pending the outcome of his disciplinary hearing. Bruce has backed him to have a big impact on Hull's promotion chances. "He has got a huge part to play between now and the end of the season. His challenge now is to make us better and get us back to the Premier League," he said. "I'm sure he's determined to get back playing and get back to a level that got him on the edge of England selection. That's what he needs to aspire to again." Hull, who are second in the Championship after five matches, visit leaders Brighton on Saturday.

Natalia Wilkanowska, 50, disappeared in 2003 after visiting her ex-husband Gerald Doherty in Luton. Mr Doherty's brothers, Joseph and Daniel, deny helping conceal her remains and lying to police. The victim's niece told Luton Crown Court that Joseph believed it to be "a crime of passion". Gerald Doherty committed suicide in July 2003, about four months after Natalia was last seen by her children when she left her Eastbourne home to travel to Luton. The couple had separated in 2001 after 23 years of marriage. Natalia's niece, Allison Diamond-Roberts, told the jury she had later asked Joseph Doherty why his brother Gerald had killed himself. "Uncle Joe said that he had done something and would have gone to prison for a very long time. I wanted to understand more, but he ended the conversation," she told the court. Ms Diamond-Roberts said in 2013 she had been to Joseph's farm in Port Glasgow, Scotland to "speak about Auntie Natalia". "He said it was a crime of passion. My aunt had been strangled. He said my uncle (Gerald) had strangled her." Natalia's body was found under rubble in Daniel Doherty's garden in Ickniel Way, Luton, in 2015. Daniel Doherty, 67, of Icknield Way, Luton denies two charges of perverting the course of justice and two charges of obstructing the coroner, by aiding and abetting the concealment of a body and lying to police. Joseph Doherty, 73, of Old Greenock Road, Port Glasgow, denies perverting the course of justice and obstructing the coroner by giving a false account of her death. Both men also deny preventing lawful burial. The trial continues. The film is still in the early stages of development, but BBC Films said it would be a "fresh take" on the novel. "[Iannucci] is a Dickens aficionado, so he wants it to be very authentic but it will have his own sensitivity," BBC Films' Christine Langan said. The movie was announced as part of BBC Films' 25th anniversary celebrations. Other new films set for production include two other literary adaptations - Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons and Julian Barnes' Booker Prize winning novel The Sense of an Ending. The latter will be written by playwright Nick Payne, whose Royal Court play Constellations was a hit in the West End and on Broadway. Rafe Spall, who starred in Constellations in London, will take the lead role of Captain Flint in Swallows and Amazons, which was last adapted for the big screen in 1974. BBC Films said the new version will be set a few years later than the novel, but would remain "faithful" to the original story. Oscar winner Colin Firth is also set to star in a film following the true story of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst and his attempt to win the first single-handed round-the-world yacht race in 1968. It will be helmed by The Theory Of Everything's director James Marsh. Documentaries on singer Grace Jones and ballet dancer Sergei Polunin - who dramatically walked out on the Royal Ballet - are also in the works. BBC Two will celebrate BBC Films' 25th anniversary with a week of its titles, including the premieres of Great Expectations and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, in May. "We're so proud to celebrate 25 years of flying the flag for British film," Langan said. "Since Anthony Minghella's unique Truly Madly Deeply, BBC Films has played a vital role in finding and nurturing the British talent at the heart of so many successful films. BBC Films stands not just for great British talent, but amazing British stories."

So why is this suddenly an issue and what could it mean for society? Well it is like a normal baby, but one that has been modified by altering their DNA - which is the blueprint for building a person. Your DNA blueprint is far from perfect. Lots of diseases such as cystic fibrosis, bubble boy syndrome (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease) and the blood disorder beta thalassaemia are down to bad instructions in your DNA. These defects could be corrected. But a baby could in theory also be engineered to resist diseases. A single mutation can protect against HIV infection and there are also sections of your DNA which increase the risk of cancer which could also be altered. Then there's the far more distant prospect of making alterations to alter height, beauty, hair colour or intelligence. Nobody is on the cusp of doing this. However, genetic engineering is progressing at a phenomenal pace and scientists say it is important to discuss what is acceptable now, rather than wait until someone crosses an ethical line. Earlier this year Chinese scientists corrected the defect causing beta thalassaemia in embryos (they were then destroyed rather than implanted). A few years ago a new way of editing DNA was discovered. It has transformed research and is now being used by biology laboratories around the world, whether they're working on plants, animals or human embryos. The method combines a "molecular sat-nav" that travels to a precise location in our DNA with a pair of "molecular scissors" that cut it. But that's a simple description. The main method being used is called CRISPR-Cas9 and it is the way bacteria defend themselves against viruses. A short section of genetic material precisely matches up with a section of DNA and then the enzyme Cas9 comes along and makes a cut. Your DNA then tries to repair itself - this can turn off that section of DNA or allow scientists to insert new sections of DNA that they have engineered. And it is cheap. And it is easy. There are other techniques such as Zinc Fingers and Talens which have some advantages, but are harder to perform. Well that's for you to decide, but in the eyes of the law at the moment then 'no'. But it is worth noting the UK has already made a big shift - in 2015 it made the historic decision to allow the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man. The reason was to prevent babies being born with "mitochondrial diseases". It was the source of vigorous ethical debate - and it's one we may be hearing again soon. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology had forecast a tropical storm north of Darwin to intensify into a cyclone on Tuesday. Authorities said although conditions had improved, heavy rainfall was still likely to cause a flood risk to some communities. It comes after a cyclone hit Australia two weeks ago, bringing flooding that killed at least six people. Northern Territory authorities have warned people to avoid flooded roads. "The system looks unlikely to reach cyclone intensity until it moves further west into the Timor Sea," said forecaster Adam Morgan. If the weather system does intensify, it will be named Cyclone Frances.

Scientists say it may be "morally acceptable" to create genetically modified babies in the future and say it is "essential" that they are allowed to experiment on embryos. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A cyclone warning for Australia's Northern Territory has been cancelled.

The 26-year-old featured 11 times last season for the Super League champions but was not offered a new contract. Wheeler came through the academy at Saints and his versatility has seen him feature at centre and wing. "I've been a big admirer of Gary's ability for some time. He's extremely versatile and will add real depth to the squad," said head coach Tony Smith. "At times he's had some bad luck with injuries but we've assessed the situation and look forward to him contributing to the 2015 season." Wimbledon 2Day, hosted by Clare Balding, saw presenters mingle with a live audience and included funny home video clips alongside daily highlights. In its review, The Guardian said: "The whole show is a mess." A BBC spokeswoman said "Of course we listen to audience feedback and that helps to shape the changes we make." In a scathing review in The Daily Mail, the show was referred to as "super right-on" and "tooth-achingly trendy". Statistics released by the National Crime Agency (NCA) show there were 3,805 people referred for help in 2016, up from 1,745 people in 2013. Recent Home Office estimates suggest there are between 10,000 and 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK. Home Office minister Sarah Newton said the government was taking action. Albanian, UK and Vietnamese nationals are the most commonly reported victims of modern slavery. Tamara Barnett, from the Human Trafficking Foundation, said she believed the rise may be down to an increased understanding of what constitutes human trafficking and modern slavery. "We are starting to recognise a lot more cases as being human trafficking cases," she said. "It used to be very much seen as just the trafficking of women into the sex trade. "There was quite a narrow view of what it involved but now there is definitely a broader view of what is human trafficking." She said the increased awareness was in part due to the introduction of the 2015 Modern Slavery Act, which requires all public authorities to notify the Secretary of State or relevant authority if it has "reasonable grounds to believe that a person may be a victim of slavery or human trafficking". However, she said additional training and funding was needed to improve awareness of the issue and called for better long-term support for victims. Figures from the NCA also suggest more children are potentially being trafficked for sexual exploitation, with the number reported to agencies having doubled in the past 12 months from 105 cases in 2015 to 215 in 2016. Anne Read, from the Salvation Army, which works with people who have been trafficked, said: "They're traded like a commodity. In almost every case somebody has been told that there is a job for them, and they follow that person to our country." She said it was important people were alert to the problem and reported any suspicions to the authorities. She added: "Rather than mind our own business we should make it our business." Ms Newton, minister for vulnerability, safeguarding and countering extremism, said: "Modern slavery is a barbaric crime which destroys the lives of some of the most vulnerable in our society. "This government has taken world-leading action to tackle it, giving law enforcement agencies the tools they need, toughening up sentences, increasing support for victims and encouraging more to come forward." She said the government also funded a specialist victim care contract, delivered by the Salvation Army, for victims.

Chris Williamson, MP for Derby North, said the move could be a way of tackling a rise in sexual offences on public transport. The sign in his parliament office said: "Woman? Sexually harassed at work? How about working on your own floor?" The idea, first suggested by Jeremy Corbyn in 2015, has been widely criticised. Sam Stopp, a Labour councillor for Brent Council in London, tweeted the picture after it was sent to him by a friend. He said: "It's a serious issue that needs raising, but not best raised by a male MP. "Is segregating the best way of preventing [sexual offences]? I think it's reactive and not very well thought through. "[The sign] is pretty hilarious and I'm sure Chris will see the funny side. He's fairly good humoured." Mr Williamson said if there was support for the idea then it would be worth looking at, but his Labour colleagues criticised the move as "normalising attacks".

Among his wins were the Nunthorpe Stakes, July Cup, Haydock Sprint Cup, Prix de l'Abbaye and the Ayr Gold Cup. He faces trial in the summer on two charges of sexual assault, which he strenuously denies. Among his horses were Ya Malak, who created his own piece of history when he dead-heated with Coastal Bluff in the Nunthorpe at York in 1997. He was ridden by Nicholls' wife, Alex Greaves and the win saw her become the first female rider to win a Group One race in Britain. Based at Tall Trees Stables near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Nicholls went out with a winner as stable star Sovereign Debt landed a valuable race in Qatar last month. He tweeted: "Sovereign Debt was our last runner from Tall Trees, as due to financial problems we have had to cease training. "It was nice to go out on a high during what has been a difficult time & I'd like to thank all our owners that have supported us." Former champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa added: "So sad to hear that Dandy Nicholls has had to give up training. #toptrainer #sprintking."

The Scots won one silver and four bronzes at the World Bowls Championships in New Zealand. "I thought the team did fantastically well to medal in five of the eight events and just to miss out in the other three," said captain Marshall. "It was a great team effort in difficult conditions." Marshall was one of three former world indoor singles champions in the Scotland squad and was a double gold medal winner at the last Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. But he was satisfied with the medal haul, including his own bronzes in the pairs and fours, in New Zealand despite the lack of golds. "You were playing in 50-60mph winds, so conditions were very different to what they are in the UK, so we are very pleased," Marshall told BBC Scotland. "I was very happy with two bronze medals - playing with Paul Foster in the pairs and just missing out by a couple of shots to the Aussies and we got well beat by the Kiwis in the final of the fours, but the score wasn't a fair reflection." Although Marshall captained the Scots in New Zealand, he still has to win a place in the Scotland team to compete in Australia's Gold Coast. "I am 50 next year, so I'm getting on a bit now, but I try to improve each year I play and hopefully I'll be selected for Broad Beach and it is something I'll look forward to," he said. "It is going to be very hard back over in the southern hemisphere, but I think we will be more prepared as we've been there before and we'll be going over with plenty of confidence." Representing Scotland for the first time, Lesley Doig was her country's top performer in New Zealand, winning silver in the women's singles and taking bronze in the pairs along with Lauren Baillie. However, she is not taking it for granted that she will be on the plane for the Gold Coast. "I didn't expect to be coming home with a silver and bronze, so I definitely achieved more than I expected and I'm really chuffed," she said. "There's a lot of good up-and-coming players in Scotland, so you can never assume anything. "But, if I stick in and keep playing well, hopefully I'll make it into that team. "You are out there playing against the best players in the world, so to have beaten some of them out there means everything." People have been urged to help contain the spread of the virus at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings by not visiting friends or relatives in hospital if they have symptoms of the vomiting bug. Tina Lloyd, assistant director of infection prevention and control, said stringent measures had been brought in. The affected wards are Newington, Baird and MacDonald. Ms Lloyd said East Sussex Healthcare NHS trust would prefer that people did not visit the affected wards, but she said if their visit was essential they should restrict the time of the visit and wash hands before and afterwards. She urged people to follow good hygiene measures.

Media playback is unsupported on your device 24 April 2015 Last updated at 16:04 BST Yves built a specially developed flying suit back in 2006, using four jet-engines, which you might normally find on a small plane. This earned him the nickname "Jetman". The amazing suit has been designed in a way that allows Yves to move around in the air in a similar way to how birds do, by angling and tilting his body to change direction. Since then he has flown over the English Channel, the Grand Canyon and around Mount Fiji in Japan using his incredible flying-suit. Jetman is a fully trained professional pilot - so don't try it at home! The move came after the party's candidate selection process contributed to an all-male group of Lib Dem MSPs elected to Holyrood in May. Mr Rennie appointed several female councillors and party members to key roles to increase gender balance. The party has also taken action which aims to increase female candidates at future parliamentary elections. Mr Rennie and his four fellow male MSPs have been given policy portfolios in areas like finance, health and education. In addition, three female councillors and several unelected Liberal Democrat members will speak on a range of issues including social security and the environment. Holyrood candidate Katy Gordon, who failed to get elected, will oversee the party's 2017 council election campaign. Mr Rennie said: "This gender-balanced team will provide strong liberal voices inside and outside parliament. "These appointments will put the Liberal Democrats in the strongest possible position to grow over the next five years." Sheku Bayoh, 31, died after being restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on 3 May 2015. His death is currently being investigated by Police Scotland's independent watchdog, the Police Investigations Review Commissioner. The father-of-two's relatives will be holding a commemorative service on Sunday. They will lay flowers at the spot where he died in Hayfield Road, Kirkcaldy, and have asked friends to join them in celebrating Mr Bayoh's life at the town's Templehall Community Centre. His partner Collette Bell, mother Aminata Bayoh, sisters Kadi Johnson, Adama Jalloh and Kosna Bayoh, and brother-in-law Ade Johnson will then meet Frank Mulholland on Monday. The meeting will take place in Mr Mulholland's office in Edinburgh's Chambers Street and will also be attended by the family's solicitor Aamer Anwar. Mr Bayoh's relatives have previously met Mr Mulholland when they complained that there were "too many questions and not enough answers" over the death. The Lord Advocate was asked to update Holyrood on the investigation last September and told MSPs: "Having met the family on two occasions, I know the effect that this tragedy has had on them and they have borne their loss with great dignity. "They are right to demand answers and a thorough, impartial and objective investigation is what they deserve." He also confirmed that a fatal accident inquiry into the death would be held, regardless of any criminal proceedings.

David Cottrell, 90, from Redland, was honoured for his part in saving the lives of more than 70 Norwegians on a sinking ship in June 1944. He was just 19 when the crew of HMS Swift ignored orders and rescued the men from the water, after their ship, the Svenner, was torpedoed. Mr Cottrell told BBC Points West: "It's a proud moment." He was an Able Seaman Gunner on HMS Swift, which narrowly missed being hit by the torpedoes before they were used to sink the nearby Norwegian destroyer Svenner, off Sword Beach, Normandy, on 6 June 1944. Mr Cottrell said the ship "broke in half and sank almost immediately. People were jumping over the sides." HMS Swift's captain John Gower disobeyed orders to leave the men and instead went to pick up survivors. Of 219 crew aboard the Svenner, 32 Norwegians and one Briton died. Mr Cottrell said in 2001 he met two of the Norwegians who had been on the Svenner and one of them told him and Captain Gower: "What you've done, myself, my children, my grandchildren owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid." Nigel Fletcher, Norwegian consul for the South West, said Mr Cottrell had been put forward for the Commemorative Medal after meeting a survivor of the Svenner at a memorial service to mark the 70th anniversary in Norway in 2014. "It's a great recognition and I think also it gives him time to reflect on his old shipmates and the other people who were with him on that day." Mr Cottrell's son Richard said he was very proud of his father: "It's one story among thousands and they are all remarkable." The Whites are challenging for the Championship play-offs after finishing 20th last season under the Serb, who took charge in December 2015. Jokanovic, 48, signed a new contract until 2019 on 23 February. "The manager and the staff have got to take a lot of credit. He has stabilised the club and transformed the way we play," Cairney, 26, told BBC London. "The fans are enjoying our style of football and the club have given him a new contract, which is great to see." Fulham are seventh in the table, five points behind Sheffield Wednesday and with a game in hand on the Owls. The west London club are looking to return to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation from the top flight in 2014. "The play-offs are definitely within our grasp," midfielder Cairney added. "I think we've got enough ability in the squad, and the right staff in place, to creep into the top six. "It could go down to the wire as we play Sheffield Wednesday away in our last game of the season. If it does, it will be an amazing game to be involved in." Cairney's form this season has been crucial to Fulham's play-off bid, with the former Hull and Blackburn man scoring seven goals and making nine assists in 32 league appearances. His form has seen him nominated for the English Football League Player of the Year prize at the London Football Awards, alongside team-mate Sone Aluko. "It is a massive achievement," Cairney said. "To be nominated on the shortlist is fantastic. I am really proud, as are my family. "I really enjoy playing with Sone. If one of us win it it will be great for Fulham - but hopefully it will be me."

The crash, involving a Vauxhall Meriva and a black Renault Megane, happened at about 13:50 on Saturday near Ellon. Police Scotland said the woman died at the scene. The injured are being treated at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The road was closed for several hours on Saturday while crash investigators worked at the scene. Sgt Neil Morrison, of Police Scotland, said: "Inquiries into the cause of this collision are at an early stage. However, we would ask anyone who was in the area at the time or who saw either of these vehicles in the area prior to collision to come forward." The body of Lewis Paul Mullan was recovered from the Diglis Basin by search and rescue teams on Saturday. Officers are trying to trace his last movements and have appealed for witnesses. "His death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner has been informed," a West Mercia Police spokesman said. Mr Mullan, from Worcester, was last seen getting out of a taxi at Commandery petrol station in the Sidbury area at 03:00 GMT but failed to return home. "Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family at this very sad time," the spokesman added. The 32-year-old spent 13 seasons with the Pools as a player, making 444 appearances for the League Two side. He left in 2014, spending two years at Carlisle before joining Gateshead in May, but played just once for the Heed before having his contract cancelled. "I'm really looking forward to this new role, it's exciting," Sweeney said. He told Hartlepool's website: "It's not something I was really expecting to be honest, having signed for Gateshead in the summer, but in football timing is everything and something has cropped up here which is just too good to turn down."

Developers intend to site the large turbine structures close to Mr Trump's golfing development on the Aberdeenshire coast. The US businessman has taken on the Scottish government, which approved the plan. Mr Trump began his challenge to the decision to grant planning permission more than two years ago. He was furious when the Scottish government approved plans for the renewable energy development within sight of his multi-million pound golf development on the Menie Estate in the north-east of Scotland. He said the 11 turbines would spoil the view. Mr Trump made a series of legal challenges in the Scottish courts and has now taken the fight to the UK's Supreme Court in London. He has argued that planning consent for the wind farm was so imprecise as to make it legally invalid. Following Mr Trump's earlier unsuccessful actions in the Scottish courts, the Scottish government said its decision-making process had been vindicated and that the "painstaking work" of Marine Scotland staff who advised it was both fair and reasonable. The Supreme Court judges are expected to deliver their verdict later. The museum sought new premises due to a lack of space and because its lease was running out after 2018. It has been awarded £725,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards converting an Anti-Aircraft Operations Room (AAOR). The building, built in the 1950s, is known as the Old Radar Station. In more recent years it was used as a roads maintenance depot. Highland Council has approved the museum's plans and its managers hope the lottery funding will be a "catalyst" for further funding awards.

Wiggins, 35, wants to ride on the track at the Olympics in Brazil in August ahead of a potential British finale. Tour of Britain director Mick Bennett said: "The Wiggins team have verbally committed to me, and hopefully that can be a lap of honour for them with gold medals around their necks." The tour runs from 4-11 September. Wiggins, who won the Tour de France in 2012 and is a four-time Olympic gold medalist, is riding at the Track World Championships in London in March. "Bradley is such an icon, such a rock star, and it would be great for him to tour the country before closing down an amazing career," added Bennett. "I don't know if this will be the toughest edition of the race yet but I think it should be the most exciting, and it's certainly the most spectator-friendly. "Spectators will be able to see far more of the race than ever before." The eight-stage Tour - which will coincide with the Vuelta a Espana in Spain - will begin in Glasgow before taking the riders through the Lake District, Cheshire, Denbighshire and south Wales. It will feature a return to the popular summit finish at Haytor on Dartmoor, a split-stage in Bristol, which includes a time-trial and a five-lap road race, ahead of the circuit finish in London. Last year's race was won by Edvald Boasson Hagen, racing for the MTN-Qhubeka team, which is now known as Team Dimension Data and includes British sprinter Mark Cavendish. Mongo, aged 22, had suffered alopecia and was undergoing a routine health check at Twycross Zoo, but failed to come round from the anaesthetic. The film of the "fight" was viewed more than a million times online, fuelled in part by Mongo's appearance. Twycross Zoo said it was "displaying" rather than fighting and was perfectly normal behaviour for chimpanzees. In a statement, Twycross Zoo said his death was unexpected. "Mongo was undergoing a routine health check to investigate his enlarged air sac," said the statement. "Although Mongo showed no other outward signs of ill health, the health check revealed that he had an infection and regrettably, he failed to recover from the anaesthetic." Despite being hairless - inherited from his equally smooth father Jambo - Mongo was a hit in his group. Early in life he had to work hard to be accepted but was recently an integral part of the strict hierarchy, headed by his father. He was also popular with the ladies, particularly Noddy, who was usually close by. A spokeswoman said: "A good natured and playful chimp, Mongo was often seen interacting with others - Tuli being a favourite playmate - and was just as popular with the keepers and other staff here at Twycross." Hundreds took to the zoo's Facebook page to offer their condolences. Marie Cross wrote: "Aw no so very sorry to hear this , RIP Mongo love and thoughts to his carers we will miss you lad x" Staff at the zoo will carry out a full post-mortem examination after early checks revealed he also had some signs of heart disease. Twycross Zoo recently started a study into heart disease in great apes.
