Francis Monaghan intended to strike a man in Liquid Nightclub with the bottle but it hit Debbie Strachan in the face instead and smashed. Monaghan was ordered to complete 255 hours of unpaid work. Ms Strachan said the community sentence meant the 27-year-old had been allowed to walk away "scot-free". Monaghan, from Stirling, was also told to pay Ms Strachan £750 compensation. A sheriff told him if he had been found guilty of assault, rather than the charge of culpable and reckless conduct which was accepted by prosecutors, he would have been jailed for two years. Ms Strachan, who is also from Stirling, said: "I feel really disappointed they didn't make an example of him. "I thought it would have been a lot worse than that - £750 to be paid to me is nothing. "I think it's an absolute joke." Monaghan, of Ochil Crescent, Stirling, admitted a charge of culpable and reckless conduct committed on 29 March last year at Liquid Nightclub, Dundee. Ms Strachan has started an online petition to have glass items banned from nightclubs, following the incident. She said: "He has just walked away scot-free. "If he went to prison he would have learned some sort of lesson." Ms Strachan said she still struggled to come to terms with her injuries. She said: "I have to look in the mirror every day. I have to look at the scars every day. "It's not just the physical side of things, it's the mental side too."
A woman scarred for life after being hit by a bottle in a Dundee nightclub has said the sentence given to the man responsible was "an absolute joke".

Colchester General Hospital was found by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to have "inaccuracies" in its data. An independent inquiry will look at "who knew what, and what they did", the hospital has said. But the RCN said "the sceptics may be forgiven for doubting this is truly independent". The CQC's report, which is being looked at by Essex Police, found staff were "pressured or bullied" to change data relating to patients and their treatment to make it seem people were being treated in line with national guidelines. The inspector said patients' lives may have been put at risk. Last week, the RCN claimed its concerns about a "bullying culture" were dismissed as "fantasy" by the hospital in February 2012. Colchester Hospital said that an internal inquiry at that time "didn't go deep enough". The new investigation it has commissioned is being led by former deputy chief medical officer of England, Prof Pat Troop, and ex-NHS Suffolk chief executive Carole Taylor-Brown. Ms Brown left the primary care trust in 2010 and now runs her own coaching and development consultancy, which has worked with other NHS trusts in Essex. Health regulator Monitor has agreed the terms of the hospital-commissioned independent investigation, the hospital said. The report will be sent to hospital trust chairman Dr Sally Irvine, who will then consider what action needs to be taken. Dr Irvine said: "The investigation has been asked to get to the bottom of who knew what, when they knew it and what they did - or did not do - about it. Colchester General Hospital said the investigation would look at: "This will be a far-reaching and detailed investigation but because of the urgency of the situation, I have asked for it to be completed as soon as possible." The RCN regional director Karen Webb said: "It's quite right that the trust should hold a thorough and open internal investigation into the failings that have harmed both public confidence and staff morale. "The RCN, however, would question whether this investigation can legitimately be called "independent" when the inquiry and its joint leads have been commissioned by the board of directors at Colchester. "The board has some very serious questions to answer about its corporate and clinical governance and the sceptics may be forgiven for doubting that an investigation commissioned by the Board to look into the Board's conduct is truly independent." Essex Police is looking into whether the case warrants a criminal investigation. Iglo Group, Europe's biggest frozen food business, has been owned by the private equity firm Permira for the past eight years after it bought the business from Unilever. Nomad was set up last year to build a portfolio of branded food businesses and this is its first purchase. Permira will retain a minority stake. Nomad is run by US investors Martin Franklin and Noam Gottesman. "We took a highly disciplined approach to evaluating opportunities for Nomad's initial investment," said Mr Franklin, Nomad's Co-Founder. "During this process, it was abundantly clear that Iglo Group was a natural fit from both a strategic and a financial standpoint. "This is a well-run business that has cemented itself as a leader in an attractive, yet highly fragmented sector, which paves the way for both organic and inorganic growth opportunities." Iglo's chief executive, Elio Leoni Sceti, will leave his post in June. Mr Sceti is set to become the new chief executive of the beauty firm Coty. Nomad said a search for his replacement was underway and expected to announce a new appointment "in the near future". Mr Sceti will become a non-executive director. Iglo's largest markets are the UK, Italy, Germany and Austria.

Wendy Knell, 25, was found dead in her bedsit in Guildford Road, Tunbridge Wells, on 23 June 1987. Her father, 82-year-old Bill Knell, who has cancer, said: "I want to know, why did he have to kill her? "They can't do any more for me and I would really like [her killer] caught before the end comes." Pam Knell, Wendy's 80-year-old mother, said she still kisses a photograph of her daughter every time she leaves her home in Tonbridge. Kent Police have a full DNA profile of Miss Knell's suspected killer but have never found a match. A police spokesman said detectives had found there were no clear signs of a forced entry and no one else who lived at the bedsit had heard anything unusual. Her keys and diary were missing and have never been found. Miss Knell's murder is being linked to that of 20-year-old Caroline Pierce five months later on 24 November, 1987. Ms Pierce, also from Tunbridge Wells, was found dead on Romney Marsh. She had last been seen in Grosvenor and Hilbert Park. Her keys were also missing. Both women had worked in Camden Road in Tunbridge Wells. A Kent Police spokesman said both investigations remained live and detectives were committed to solving the murders. Det Ch Insp Rob Vinson said: 'I don't think any of us can imagine the sheer horror these families have been through over all these years. "I know this was 30 years ago, but someone may have had their suspicions at the time, or even just recently formed."
A gravely ill father is appealing for information to find the killer of his daughter who was sexually assaulted and beaten to death almost 30 years ago.

Half an hour's drive away, in a bland hall resembling an airport terminal, Vietnam's political future was being decided by 1,510 delegates, all chosen by the Communist Party, which has a constitutionally-enshrined monopoly on power. It might have been happening on a different planet. Of course people knew the party congress was going on; how could they not? Hanoi is festooned with red-and-gold posters celebrating this secretive, five-yearly ritual in the communist calendar in characteristically retro style, all muscular workers and peasants radiating revolutionary joy. But no-one I spoke to felt any sense of connection to a process from which they are mostly excluded. "We talk about it a lot, we watch TV", says Duong Bui, the 22-year-old lead singer for heavy metal band Windrunner, which was performing at the recently built Hanoi Creative City art space. "But to reach it is hard. It's not like we can take our ideas for building this country to the congress - it's far from us." A battle at the heart of power Vietnam follows the classic communist doctrine of democratic centralism, whereby the party is the only permitted political player. Once decisions have been made inside the organisation party members are expected to toe the line. Debates are usually resolved before the congress, which holds the highest authority in the party. But that did not happen this time. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made a bold play to win the top job, that of secretary-general of the party. He presided over the transformation of Vietnam's economy into an export-driven, manufacturing success story. Moving into that post would have made him one of the most powerful leaders of modern times. He had an unusually high international profile for a Vietnamese leader, pushing for warmer relations with the old enemy, the United States, and demanding faster reforms in bloated state industries. He built up a network of influence in the security forces and the local business community. Up until a few months before the congress, he appeared to have strong backing from the 200-member central committee of the party, which had helped him ride out at least two previous attempts to remove him from power. So what went wrong? One sign support was slipping was a leaked letter, apparently from Mr Dung, responding to serious allegations against him by three academics. That he needed to respond suggests the allegations had powerful backers. It is worth remembering that for all his charisma and public popularity, Mr Dung was a controversial figure in the party. His family had gained wealth and political promotions; with rapid economic growth corruption had also proliferated; and his efforts to privatise the state sector had made slow progress. What we do know is that by the time the congress began last week, Mr Dung was not among the candidates approved by the politburo to be the next secretary-general. An attempt by his supporters to get him onto the next central committee, where he might have been able to challenge the incumbent, Nguyen Phu Trong, fell flat partly thanks to Mr Trong's expert use of the Byzantine rules governing the congress. Mr Trong, an old-style ideologue, was a long-standing rival of Mr Dung. With his victory, it would appear that conservative factions of the party now predominate, casting doubt on Mr Dung's reform agenda. Mr Trong's reaffirmation at the start of the congress that socialism and the state must remain at the heart of the economy seemed to support that view. But the party does not divide up so neatly. In fact the new central committee includes a number of younger, pro-reform politicians, and Mr Trong's options for changing course are limited. "Life is stronger than any dogma", says economist Le Dang Doanh, "and the condition of the economy of Vietnam nowadays is so pressured that it must change. If the state sector plays a leading role, there will be no fair competition. Vietnam is now deeply integrated into the world economy." The state-owned industries are a case in point. A legacy of the command economy built during the long war against the French and Americans, they are everywhere, making cars and ships, milk and clothing. They account for almost a third of GDP and consume most of the credit in the local banking system - most of them make a loss. Mr Dung had encouraged a few SOEs to become national champions, allowing them to expand. It was a disaster. The state-owned shipbuilder and shipping line collapsed under ballooning debts. So in recent years he has encouraged them to restructure, partially privatising and selling off unprofitable businesses. But this is not easy. Just ask Tran Viet, a director of the huge textile conglomerate Vinatex, which has become one of the most successful state-run companies, exporting suits and shirts to the US and the EU. "As a stated-owned enterprise we were bound by a lot of conditions and regulations - a lot more than a private company. We cannot just go in and shut factories down." On a visit to one of Vinatex's many factories I was taken around by Nguyen Thi Phuong Lan. As she proudly showed me the factory kindergarten, the clinic and dormitories, she said her parents and grandparents had worked there, and she expected her children to do the same. "It's like a family to us", she explained. In the brutally competitive global market in which Vinatex now sells most of its products, how much of its collectivist legacy can it afford to keep? The old men of the communist party are ideologically loyal to this legacy. But the reality of raising living standards, to sustain the party's legitimacy, will force them to rely increasingly on the tremendous entrepreneurial energy of the Vietnamese people.
Even in the unusually cold and wet weather, the centre of Hanoi was still a typical whirl of commercial activity this past week, as people prepared for the Tet lunar new year holiday.

The Welsh government's Free Breakfasts initiative, launched 10 years ago, ensures primary school children can have a healthy meal to start the day. But shadow education minister Angela Burns said some parents should pay to help improve the scheme's funding. Education Minister Huw Lewis said take-up of free breakfasts was increasing. Overall throughout Wales, eight out of 10 (82%) schools in Wales offer free breakfasts, even though it is available to them all. In Newport, for example, it is around three in 10 schools. Last year, out of the 264,186 pupils in Welsh primary schools, 46,262 had a free breakfast on the day numbers were collected. That is fewer than one in five pupils who turned up for the scheme, which usually runs in breakfast clubs before the school day starts. Ms Burns AM, said it was "regrettable" that after "tens of millions of pounds" a third of Welsh children were not able to access free school breakfasts. "We believe that parents who can afford to make a small financial contribution towards the cost of their child's free school breakfast should do so to improve the scheme's funding and enable more children to benefit," she added. But Mr Lewis said take-up of the scheme had consistently been on the increase since the scheme launched in 2004. "We know that in the last five years alone, around 10 million free and healthy breakfasts have been served to our primary school learners," he said. In England, every child in primary school gets a free lunch, instead of breakfast. Aled Roberts, education spokesman for the Liberal Democrats in Wales, said it should be the same in Wales too. "Despite Scotland having followed England's lead, the Welsh Labour government continues to use free school breakfasts as an excuse not to implement this vital policy," he added.
A third of Welsh children are not receiving free breakfasts in school and changes are needed, the Conservatives say.

It smashed its original target of replacing £3,000 worth of gifts and decorations taken from St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London. Candles, decorations and several Santa suits have also been donated. The donations will go towards a "bigger and better" Christmas party at St Mary's paediatric intensive care unit, officials said. The unit at St Mary's treats children for conditions including meningitis, sepsis and trauma. Vicky Rees, head of fundraising at Cosmic - the Children of St Mary's Intensive Care charity - said "smashing our target means we can do more activities for the children over Christmas". "We're completely overwhelmed by the response" she said. The funds will also be invested in specialist sensory material for children with severe impairments. Tina Halton, lead play specialist St Mary's, said the money was "extraordinary". "In other fields these figures are more normal, but we work on really small budgets". Ms Halton said some of the comments flooding in were "just as important" as the donations. "If you're a child in a hospital its very isolating, sending in messages shows the children that they're being thought about." Hospital staff and local organisations have also volunteered their time to help organise the new party and wrap presents at short notice. "Sometimes London can feel quite big, but today isn't one of those days," said Ms Halton. The Met Police are still appealing for witnesses or anyone with information of the original theft to come forward. Fisa acted after an independent report claimed Russia operated a state-sponsored doping programme for four years across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports. The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has called for Russia to be banned from next month's Rio Olympics. The International Olympic Committee has yet to decide the team's fate. Russia's men's quadruple sculls team have been disqualified from the Games after one member - Sergey Fedorovtsev - tested positive for a banned substance. The country's track and field athletes are also barred from competing as a result of doping violations though the Court of Arbitration for Sport is due to rule on Thursday on an appeal from the All-Russia Athletic Federation (Araf). Five Russian rowing crews are due to compete at this summer's Olympics, with two taking part in the Paralympic Games. The executive committee of Fisa has also asked Wada to supply the evidence relating to rowing and rowers that was presented in the McLaren report. Prospects Academies Trust said in May it would fold once it had found new sponsors for its six academies. The Department of Education (DfE) said it had now chosen the Wiltshire-based Malmesbury Trust to take over The Dean Academy in Lydney. The trust has one school left to offload - Gloucester Academy. In a letter to parents, The Dean Academy's principal David Gaston wrote that Malmesbury School was "outstanding" and has training school status "which means that they are equipped to provide support for staff development". He stressed there would no changes to The Dean Academy name, the school uniform or the staffing structure. As for Gloucester Academy, the DfE said it was continuing to work to appoint a suitable sponsor, although a National Union of Teachers (NUT) representative locally said he understood a new sponsor had been found and was in the process of applying for approval. John Pemberthy, NUT National Executive member and Gloucestershire division secretary, said: "I am pleased for the sake of the students and staff of these schools that they will hopefully feel a greater sense of security from these new arrangements, but the history of sponsored academies in Gloucestershire, which I have opposed from the start, is not a happy one. "Prospects, E-Act and AET have all taken on schools in the county but have failed to show any benefits in exchange for the top-slicing of the school budgets. "The NUT believes that many of these academies would be better off returning to local authority control." Deals to re-broker Prospects' other four academies - three of which were in Devon and one in East Sussex - were arranged by 1 December.

Give a concise summary of the following information.
The Iter project at Cadarache in Provence is receiving the first of about one million components for its experimental reactor. Dogged by massive cost rises and long delays, building work is currently nearly two years behind schedule. The construction of the key building has even been altered to allow for the late delivery of key components. "We're not hiding anything - it's incredibly frustrating," David Campbell, a deputy director, told BBC News. "Now we're doing everything we can to recover as much time as possible. "The project is inspiring enough to give you the energy to carry on - we'd all like to see fusion energy as soon as possible." After initial design problems and early difficulties co-ordinating this unique international project, there is now more confidence about the timetable. Since the 1950s, fusion has offered the dream of almost limitless energy - copying the fireball process that powers the Sun - fuelled by two readily available forms of hydrogen. The attraction is a combination of cheap fuel, relatively little radioactive waste and no emissions of greenhouse gases. But the technical challenges of not only handling such an extreme process but also designing ways of extracting energy from it have always been immense. In fact, fusion has long been described as so difficult to achieve that it's always been touted as being "30 years away". Now the Iter reactor will put that to the test. Known as a "tokamak", it is based on the design of Jet, a European pilot project at Culham in Oxfordshire. It will involve creating a plasma of superheated gas reaching temperatures of more than 200 million C - conditions hot enough to force deuterium and tritium atoms to fuse together and release energy. The whole process will take place inside a giant magnetic field in the shape of a ring - the only way such extreme heat can be contained. The plant at JET has managed to achieve fusion reactions in very short bursts but required the use of more power than it was able to produce. The reactor at Iter is on a much larger scale and is designed to generate 10 times more power - 500 MW - than it will consume. Iter brings together the scientific and political weight of governments representing more than half the world's population - including the European Union, which is supporting nearly half the cost of the project, together with China, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States. Contributions are mainly "in kind" rather than in cash with, for example, the EU providing all the buildings and infrastructure - which is why an exact figure for cost is not available. The rough overall budget is described as £13bn or 15bn euros. But the novel structure of Iter has itself caused friction and delays, especially in the early days. Each partner first had to set up a domestic "agency" to handle the procurement of components within each member country, and there have been complications with import duties and taxes. Further delay crept in with disputes over access to manufacturing sites in partner countries. Because each part has to meet extremely high specifications, inspectors from Iter and the French nuclear authorities have had to negotiate visits to companies not used to outside scrutiny. The result is that although a timeline for the delivery of the key elements has been agreed, there's a recognition that more hold-ups are almost inevitable. The main building to house the tokamak has been adjusted to leave gaps in its sides so that late components can be added without too much disruption. The route from the ports to the construction site has had to be improved to handle huge components weighing up to 600 tonnes, but this work too has been slower than hoped. A trial convoy originally scheduled for last January has slipped to this coming September. Under an initial plan, it had once been hoped to achieve the first plasma by the middle of the last decade. Then, after a redesign, a new deadline of November 2020 was set but that too is now in doubt. Managers say they are doubling shifts to accelerate the pace of construction. It's thought that even a start date during 2021 may be challenging. The man in charge of coordinating the assembly of the reactor is Ken Blackler. "We've now started for real," he told me. "Industrial manufacturing is now under way so the timescale is much more certain - many technical challenges have been solved. "But Iter is incredibly complicated. The pieces are being made all around the world - they'll be shipped here. "We'll have to orchestrate their arrival and build them step by step so everything will have to arrive in the right order - it's really a critical point." While one major concern is the arrival sequence of major components, another is that the components themselves are of sufficiently high quality for the system to function. The 28 magnets that will create the field containing the plasma have to be machined to a very demanding level of accuracy. And each part must be structurally sound and then welded together to ensure a totally tight vacuum - without which the plasma cannot be maintained. A single fault or weakness could jeopardise the entire project. Assuming Iter does succeed in proving that fusion can produce more power than it consumes, the next step will be for the international partners to follow up with a technology demonstration project - a test-bed for the components and systems needed for a commercial reactor. Ironically, the greater the progress, the more apparent becomes the scale of the challenge of devising a fusion reactor that will be ready for market. At a conference in Belgium last September, I asked a panel of experts when the first commercially-available fusion reactor might generate power for the grid. A few said that could happen within 40 years but most said it would take another 50 or even 60 years. The fusion dream has never been worked on so vigorously. But turning it into reality is much more than 30 years away.
The world's largest bid to harness the power of fusion has entered a "critical" phase in southern France.

The picturesque island of Skellig Michael is believed to be about to be used as a location in filming for the much anticipated seventh Star Wars film in late July. Filming has already taken place at Pinewood Studios in London and in Abu Dhabi. If filming does take place at Skellig Michael, it will be the first time that the Star Wars universe has landed in the Republic of Ireland. Skellig Michael is the larger of two islands in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of the Iveragh peninsula. A Christian monastery was established on the island at some point between the 6th and 8th centuries and was continuously occupied until the late 12th century. The remains of the monastery and most of the island were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Sites used for filming in previous Star Wars movies, such as the southern Tunisian desert, which doubled as Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine, have become tourist attractions for fans of the films. Star Wars: Episode VII will be the first in a new trilogy of films and will star members of the original trilogy, such as Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill alongside relative unknowns. In June, Harrison Ford broke his ankle while filming in London. Full details of the filming are still unclear but the Republic of Ireland's Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the island, has confirmed that a film production shoot is taking place later this month. "The Office of Public Works will be providing onsite support through our staff who are present on the island throughout the summer, as normal," read the statement. "They will be continuing to manage visitors throughout and will, obviously, continue to safeguard the national monument and the island, which is a World Heritage Site. "This production is being fully supported by the Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Irish Film Board."

Media playback is not supported on this device A 2-1 win over Aberdeen in Saturday's Scottish Cup final sealed the clean sweep for the former Liverpool manager. "It's been incredible," Rodgers told BBC Scotland. "I couldn't have written the script any better. "I was born into Celtic and it's a huge privilege to manage this club." Celtic fell behind to a Jonny Hayes goal at Hampden, but Stuart Armstrong squared it soon after with a 20-yard strike. Rodgers' side won the match with a stoppage-time goal from Tom Rogic, completing a fourth clean sweep in the club's history. Aberdeen finished runners-up in all three domestic competitions this term. Media playback is not supported on this device "If you're going to create history, which we've done, then you have to make it happen and the players have done that," Northern Irishman Rodgers said. "Now you can write about it and talk about it, give a big congratulations to the players and supporters, because they've been amazing. It's a great day for the club "It was a really tough game and, as well as to my own players, give credit to Aberdeen. They made it really tough for us, in particular the first half. "We had to dig deep, we weren't quite as fluent in our game and that's credit to them, they broke the game up quite well. "They man mark and it takes a bit of time, but we just reinforced at half-time the idea to stay calm, eventually they tire and that's what started to happen. "In the second half, we created chances and are disappointed not to score one or two more - but we got the goal in the end and thoroughly deserved it." Rodgers has had a huge impact in his debut season at Celtic and skipper Scott Brown said the historic campaign "all comes down to the gaffer". "This is a special bunch of lads and we've got a phenomenal manager," added the Scotland midfielder. "And it's great thanks to every single one at this club - everyone behind the scenes that worked 24/7 to help us win this trophy and this treble. "Aberdeen are a great team, they pushed us all the way in both cups and the league and they deserve to be in cup finals and second in the league." Orient had a first-half lead when Dean Lewington mis-kicked Dean Cox's cross and debutant keeper Cody Cropper's slip prevented him keeping the ball out. MK looked to be going out, but with the game nearing full-time Orient defender Mathieu Baudry headed into his own net. In the 92nd minute, Simon Church laid off Carl Baker to slot in for victory. MK Dons boss Karl Robinson had made 10 changes to the side who beat Rotherham 4-1 on Saturday, and struggled to create any clear chances until late on in the game. Orient should have put the game to bed earlier as Ollie Palmer hit the post, with the ball bouncing to safety off Cropper. Orient forward Jay Simpson had a great chance with four minutes left, but United States Under-23 goalkeeper Cropper was equal to his effort. The result means the Dons - who humbled Manchester United in the competition last season - have reached the second round for the sixth year running. MK Dons boss Karl Robinson told BBC Radio Three Counties: Media playback is not supported on this device "I think Leyton Orient deserve an awful lot of credit for what they did and they deserved to get more out of the game than they did. We weren't great but when you make 10 changes you are going to get that in periods of the game. "The players' grit and determination was the pleasing thing for me and that never-say-die attitude. "I thought Carl Baker's goal was excellent and I thought Matthew Upson really showed his class."

This private university, with its own degree-awarding powers, will be among the lowest charging, alongside the Open University. There will also be more intensively taught degree courses, which will cost £12,000 for two years. Chief executive Carl Lygo said the private university college wanted to "challenge the educational status quo". Mr Lygo said the fee level would allow students to "start their chosen career without a mountain of debt". The government wants to promote a market in tuition fees - raising the upper limit to £9,000 per year. The range of charges is now emerging - with the highest for an undergraduate degree course so far set to be £36,000 for a four-year course in Edinburgh, payable by students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scottish students will not have to pay tuition fees at Scotland's universities. A majority of universities in England have set tuition fees of between £8,000 and £9,000 for some or all their courses. The announcement of fees from BPP University College will lead to a three-year degree course costing £15,000. An accelerated degree course, where students work through the summer, will cost £12,000 for two years. It will also mean that students at this private university will be able to apply for student finance in the same way as students at public universities. The government announced earlier this year that students at private higher education institutions could borrow up to £6,000 per year to cover fees. This will be the charge for undergraduate courses in law, business, accountancy and finance at the university college's bases in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Swindon and Manchester. The university college says it has 6,500 students at its law and business schools, and trains more than 30,000 accountants. It challenges the traditional model of a university offering a three-year residential degree - and is aimed at students wanting work-related qualifications who might save money by living at home when studying. "Universities have been forced, many for the first time, to make some tough decisions in order to compete in a changing and challenging environment," said Mr Lygo. "At the heart of this is the student, who deserves value for money and the chance to improve their employability prospects and, as a sector, we mustn't lose sight of this." However, two missing crew members, winch operator Paul Ormsby and winch man Ciaran Smith, have not yet been found. Naval Service dive teams attached lifting equipment to the wreckage of Rescue 116 on Sunday. Four people were on board the helicopter when it crashed on 14 March. The most senior pilot on board the aircraft, Cpt Dara Fitzpatrick, died after she was rescued from the sea hours after the crash. The body of her co-pilot, Capt Mark Duffy, was later recovered from the wreckage. Heavy swells and currents prevented dives to the aircraft on Saturday. Divers were able to reach the aircraft, which is 40 metres below sea level, after sea conditions eased on Sunday. They attached a bridle to the helicopter, which was used to harness the wreckage and bring it to the surface. The Air Accident Investigation Unit has said there was no indication of any mechanical problems in the seconds before the impact. It is thought the inquiry into the cause of the crash on 14 March is now likely to focus on operational issues. This will take in a number of separate headings, as investigators analyse the flight recorder for any indications of what went wrong. Investigators are likely to look at things like human behaviour, navigational equipment and procedural issues, in an effort to identify the exact reasons why Rescue 116 crashed.

Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland said the test was simple: "If it would be illegal to say it on the street, it is illegal to say it online." The Crown Office said it would not pursue satirical or mildly offensive humour or provocative statements. But it promised a "robust" response to hate crime, stalking or credible threats of violence The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has previously sought clarity on where the legal boundary lies in such matters. The guidelines state that communications should be considered for prosecution if they: The Lord Advocate said the aim was not to deny freedom of speech, but the law would target internet trolls posting sectarian, homophobic or violent messages or pictures. In an interview with the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme, the Lord Advocate was asked how "grossly offensive" could be defined when it could be seen as relative. He replied: "The guidance sets out that it would not include, for example, humour, satirical comment, which is part of the democratic debate, so there's guidance to prosecutors as to what's not included. "It doesn't include offensive comment because we recognise that, in a democratic society, with use of social media you can have offensive comment which wouldn't be criminal but it's really the category above the high bar grossly offensive which has a significant effect on the recipient of the comment. "We've all seen on the media reports of what you described, internet trolls, where this kind of comment, grossly offensive comment, is sent out to directly wound and has quite a significant effect." He added: "There's very detailed guidance of all the factors that prosecutors will take into account when they assess whether or not to raise criminal proceedings in relation to grossly offensive comments posted on social media." Samples taken from the teeth of seven bodies contained traces of the bacterial infection in the Bronze Age. They also showed it had, at the time, been unable to cause the bubonic form of plague or spread through fleas - abilities it evolved later. The researchers, at the University of Copenhagen, say plague may have shaped early human populations. Human history tells of three plague pandemics: There have also been suggestions of earlier plagues, such as the Plague of Athens in 430BC. But now scientists have hurtled millennia back in time by studying 101 ancient skeletons. The teeth of seven of them, from across western Europe and central Asia, contained evidence of Yersinia pestis infection - the killer bacterium that causes plague. The oldest was 5,783 years old. The analysis of those samples, published in the journal Cell, showed the bacterium was still lacking some of the killer traits that led it to cause death on a global scale. In its early days, it could cause only septicaemic or pneumonic plague - which is nearly always deadly and would have been passed on by coughing. By analysing the bacterium's genetic code through history, the researchers estimate it took until 1000BC for plague to evolve into its more familiar form. One mutation - acquiring the ymt gene - allowed the bacterium to survive inside the hostile environment of a flea's gut. It was one of the most signification mutations in the disease's history, allowing it to spread rapidly. Developing a separate gene, called pla, allowed the infection to penetrate different tissues and cause bubonic plague. "It's super-fascinating," lead researcher Prof Eske Willerslev said. He told the BBC News website: "We show that plague was widespread 2,000 years earlier than normally thought. "With time, these studies will help us to understand how diseases are formed, how they originate and develop." Prof Willerslev believes the plague could have had a huge impact on early human populations. Previous studies have shown that rather than growing gradually, populations in Europe may have declined by up to 60% at some points in their history, with plague a potential culprit. It was also a time of huge migration in the region. "You see these very abrupt population replacements, people moved into northern Europe from central Asia, replacing the existing populations - kinds of very abrupt migrations [that] fit very well with plague playing a major role," Prof Willerslev said. Plague remains endemic in some countries. In 2013, there were 783 cases reported worldwide, including 126 deaths. While most cases are in Africa, even the US continues to have cases of plague.

Education expert Prof Alan Smithers estimates 35,000 pupils have submitted an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which counts as half an A-level. This is twice the number who took EPQs in England and Wales five years ago. Taken alongside A-levels, it is used by top universities as a tie-breaker to tell talented students apart. Head teachers said the qualification was becoming increasingly popular and could help to strengthen a candidate's university application. Students choose a topic, plan and research the issue, and present their results, often as a written report, but sometimes as a production such as a fashion or sports event. Figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) show that last summer, 33,245 candidates took the qualification, up by 108% from 15,958 in 2010. Professor Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment, Research at Buckingham University, suggested there have been around 2,000 more entrants this year. The final numbers for this year will be published by the JCQ when data on A-level results is published next week. The rise in recent years may be down to schools seeing the qualification as good for helping students adjust to the demands of university, he added. Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: "Extended projects are becoming more and more popular. "They are liked by universities and can help to strengthen a candidate's application. "They are phenomenally valuable in giving young people the opportunity to prepare themselves for university where they will spend much of their time studying and learning through their own research and reading." Researchers have used a £1,250 system to create a range of organic compounds and inorganic clusters - some of which are used to create cancer treatments. Longer term, the scientists say the process could be used to make customised medicines. They predict the technique will be used by pharmaceutical firms within five years, and by the public within 20. "We are showing that you can take chemical constituents, pass them through a printer and create what is effectively a chemical synthesiser in which the reaction occurs allowing you to get out something different at the end," researcher Mark Symes told the BBC. "We're extrapolating from that to say that in the future you could buy common chemicals, slot them into something that 3D prints, just press a button to mix the ingredients and filter them through the architecture and at the bottom you would get out your prescription drug." The 3D printing process involves the use of a robotically controlled syringe which builds an object out of a gel-based "ink", into which chemicals and catalysts are mixed. "Chemists normally put chemicals in glassware to create a reaction," said Prof Lee Cronin, who came up with the idea. "What we are doing is mixing the concept of the glassware and the chemicals together in the 3D printer to create what we call 'reactionware'. "It's almost like a layer cake - you print the last reactionary agent first and then build other chemical layers above, finally adding a liquid at the top. The liquid goes to layer one making a new molecule which goes to the next layer creating another and so on until at the bottom you get your prescription drug out." Until now the researchers have used bathroom sealant to create their reactor, and the substances created have not been suitable for human consumption. But the scientists say their next step is to switch ingredients and replicate drugs already available in pharmacies. They also hope to work with engineers to increase the printer's speed and resolution. If successful, they say doctors and individuals could ultimately download pre-set recipes and even tailor medicines to their individual needs. "This would not only place traditionally expensive chemical engineering technology within reach of typical laboratories and small commercial enterprises, but also could revolutionise access to healthcare and the chemical sciences in general in the developing world," they wrote in a paper published in the Nature Chemistry journal .
Record numbers of sixth-formers are thought to have taken a dissertation-style project this year to give them an edge in their university applications. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Scientists are pioneering the use of 3D printers to create drugs and other chemicals at the University of Glasgow.

Holyrood's Public Audit Committee previously heard how seven staff received payouts totalling £849,842. Auditor General Caroline Gardner said she believed the chair of the board and the principal had worked together and withheld concerns over the payments. Both have been invited to appear before the Public Audit Committee. It has not been confirmed if they will accept the invitation. In June, the auditor general issued a highly-critical report of the severance deals paid out before the college become part of New College Lanarkshire last year. New College Lanarkshire was formed by a merger of Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge Colleges. In her report, Ms Gardner stated that a total of 39 staff left from the former Coatbridge College at a cost of £1.7m. Of this, £849,842 of this went on seven staff - former college principal John Doyle, a member of his staff and five senior managers. Ms Gardner said in her report that the senior staff received payments "that exceeded the terms of the college's severance scheme". When the report was discussed by Holyrood's Public Audit Committee last month, MSP Nigel Don said the case was a "particularly bad example of misuse of funds, deliberate withholding of information and of feathering one's own nest". The man, believed to be in his 50s, was discovered lying outside flats on Mount Pleasant Street at about 17:25 on Sunday. He was taken to Inverclyde Royal Hospital where he remains in a critical condition. Police said they were treating the incident as attempted murder and inquires were continuing. They have appealed for witnesses. Det Sgt Ally Semple from Police Scotland said: "Since the incident was reported to police, extensive inquiries have been carried out by officers to establish the circumstances surrounding this attempted murder. "Officers are continuing to study CCTV footage in an effort to gather as much information on this incident as possible, and are carrying out inquiries in the local area. "We have a particular interest in a man described as white, in his 30s, about 5ft 7ins, with a slim build. He was wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, white trainers and a navy or black hat. It is understood he was in the area when the attack took place." The Rt Rev Michael Perham was told by police last month he faces no action over two claims of indecent assault. The Bishop of Tewkesbury, the Rt Rev Martyn Snow, said of the cancellation: "I know this will be the cause of huge frustration and deep disappointment." Bishop Perham is due to retire officially on 21 November. Since the allegations were made, the Bishop of Gloucester stepped back from his duties and they were handed to the Bishop of Tewkesbury. Bishop Snow said: "Church House, Westminster has confirmed to me the process is still ongoing and there is no formal timetable for this process as it must be completed with fairness to all. "The diocese must therefore await the conclusion of that process." Bishop Perham was questioned in August over allegations of historical sex offences dating back more than 30 years. The special service had been planned for 8 November. Correction 11 November 2014: A quote from Bishop Snow has been amended to clarify that there is no formal timetable for the investigation

The Chairboys had to come from a goal down after the visitors went ahead through a Kevin Dawson penalty in the first half. They quickly levelled with a spot-kick of their own from Jacobson but could not find a winner despite intense late pressure. Wycombe had come close to an opener through midfielder Dominic Gape, with his shot hitting the inside of a post. But Yeovil took the lead from the spot after 20 minutes, with Dawson converting after Sido Jombati had fouled Francois Zoko. Wycombe responded just six minutes later after Town defender Alex Lacey tripped Paris Cowan-Hall inside the box. Wanderers defender Jacobson stepped forward to take the resulting penalty and made it 1-1 as he sent goalkeeper Artur Krysiak the wrong way. Krysiak kept his side level with a brilliant save before the break, diving full-length to keep out a powerful shot from Luke O'Nien. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Make-A-Wish Australia organised the day for Declan, who was diagnosed in 2015. He was taken behind-the-scenes at a police training facility, participated in a hostage-rescue exercise and detonated a series of explosives. Declan was also given the VIP treatment from PM Malcolm Turnbull. "Declan hasn't been well lately but today found out what it was like to sit in the prime minister's chair and visited the cabinet room before exploring the rest of Parliament House," Mr Turnbull wrote on Sunday. "What a great thing to do," Opposition Leader Bill Shorten replied. "Declan looks right at home." Assistant Commissioner David Sharpe from the Australian Federal Police said it was not hard to find volunteers for the exercise. "Declan's wish was to blow something up and obviously that's something we can do," he told the BBC. "But this is not just about Declan. It's about his recovery, his family and delivering something for them as well." The adventure also included a meet-and-greet with Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and a tour of the US Embassy with Marines. Make-A-Wish approached Declan during his seven months of chemotherapy treatment. "What inspired Declan's wish, I think was for him to do something different and something to take his mind off his illness," said Declan's mother Belinda. "He has been telling all our friends and family that he's going to blow stuff up and they have all been really jealous." The British man, 40, was reportedly held on Saturday after the German national was attacked in a restaurant in the resort of Sotogrande. The victim, 43, had been arrested days before for allegedly possessing indecent images of children, the Civil Guard told the Press Association. The Foreign Office is investigating. "We stand ready to provide consular assistance if requested," a spokeswoman said. Police said they had found the victim with "very serious" wounds. He died later in hospital in nearby La Linea de la Concepcion. A spokeswoman for Spain's Civil Guard told the Press Association: "The discussion apparently began because of alleged recordings that the victim was making of the aggressor's daughter. "When he saw what was happening, he took the tablet off him, saw the recordings, threw the device to the ground and attacked him." Officers said that the suspect had been remanded in custody after appearing before a magistrate. A post-mortem examination has been carried out and authorities are awaiting results to determine how the victim died.

The France left-back, 33, has signed a two-year contract with the Italian champions, ending his eight-and-a-half-year stint at Old Trafford. "Playing for Manchester United has been a privilege, a dream come true, and my time there has been so memorable," he said. Evra joined United in January 2006 from Monaco for £5.5m and won five Premier League titles. He signed a one-year extension to his contract in May but asked to leave when Juventus approached United over his availability. Evra would have been competing for a starting berth next season against £27m signing Luke Shaw. "After a great deal of thought I have decided the time is right for me to leave," Evra said. "It is the biggest decision of my career as this club is, and will always remain, in my heart." Evra made 379 appearances for United and as well as Premier League success, he helped the club win the Champions League in 2008, three League Cups and the Club World Cup. He was part of the France squad at the 2014 Fifa World Cup squad in Brazil and played in four out of their five games, including the quarter-final defeat by Germany. As he departed, Evra also thanked former manager Sir Alex Ferguson and the club's fans. "An immense thank you to Sir Alex for making it all possible, for giving me the privilege to be a captain and to understand that nobody is bigger than the club," he said. "My biggest thanks go to the fans. We have had some fantastic times together and every single time I stepped out in that shirt I knew I was playing for a very special club." Juventus will pay an initial £1.2m for Evra, plus an extra £300,000 if they qualify for the Champions League in 2015-16. Red Devils executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has told United fans to expect more signings over the next few weeks as new manager Louis van Gaal attempts to build a side capable of competing for the Premier League title.
Patrice Evra has completed a £1.2m move to Juventus from Manchester United.

A much smaller group than the IRA, it retained a capacity for ruthless killing and was behind some of the most high-profile murders of the period. The republican paramilitary group is believed to have been responsible for more than 120 murders from its formation in 1975 until its ceasefire in 1998. Despite its declared ceasefire, the INLA is still thought to have been involved in a number of murders since then. In February 2009, the INLA claimed responsibility for the murder of a drug dealer in Londonderry. The group has regularly indulged in bouts of bloody infighting. Formed in 1975, many of its early recruits were thought to have come from the Official IRA which had called a ceasefire three years earlier. It came to world prominence in 1979 with the murder of Conservative Northern Ireland spokesman Airey Neave by leaving a bomb under his car in the House of Commons car park. In December, it was behind one of Northern Ireland's worst atrocities when it killed 17 people in a bomb attack on the Droppin' Well pub in Ballykelly, County Londonderry. When other paramilitaries began declaring ceasefires in 1994, the INLA did not follow suit until four years later. In December 1997, Loyalist Volunteer Force leader Billy Wright was shot dead inside the Maze prison by the INLA. Three members of the INLA died in the jail while on hunger strike in the 1980s. In February 2010, the INLA said it had decommissioned its weapons. The INLA was believed to have a small arsenal and several dozen active members. It was thought to hold a small stock of rifles, hand guns and, possibly, grenades and a small amount of commercial explosives dating from the mid-1990s. In 2009, the Independent Monitoring Commission said its members remained deeply involved in serious crime, with extortion being its main form of income. INLA members were targeting individuals and exploiting tensions at sectarian interfaces in the recent past, the commission said. In its report in 2010, it said it "had no reason to change the view we had expressed before that the organisation remained capable of criminal violence".
The Irish National Liberation Army was a familiar name on news bulletins throughout the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The arrests were part of an investigation into allegations of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham, South Yorkshire Police said. The men, aged 36 and 37, were arrested in the Rotherham area, the force said. Three men, aged 35, 38 and 39, were held in Goole, East Yorkshire, in November as part of the same inquiry. They remain on police bail. The allegations date to a period between 1990 and 2001. First borns score higher than siblings in IQ tests as early as age one, the Edinburgh University study found. Although all children received the same levels of emotional support, first-born children received more support with tasks that developed thinking skills. Nearly 5,000 children were observed from pre-birth to age 14. Researchers said the findings could help to explain the so-called birth order effect when children born earlier in a family enjoy better wages and more education in later life. Economists at Edinburgh University, Analysis Group and Sydney University looked at data from the US Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a dataset collected by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Every child was assessed every two years. The tests included reading recognition, such as matching letters, naming names and reading single words aloud and picture vocabulary assessments. Information was also collected on environmental factors such as family background and economic conditions. Researchers applied statistical methods to economic data to analyse how the parental behaviour of the child was related to their test scores. The researchers then used an assessment tool, the Home Observation Measurement of the Environment, to look at parental behaviour, including pre-birth behaviour, such as, smoking and drinking activity during pregnancy, and post-birth behaviour, such as, mental stimulation and emotional support. The findings showed that advantages enjoyed by first born siblings start very early in life - from just after birth to three years of age. The differences increased slightly with age, and showed up in test scores that measured verbal, reading, maths and comprehension abilities. Researchers found parents changed their behaviour as subsequent children were born. They offered less mental stimulation to younger siblings and also took part in fewer activities such as such as reading with the child, crafts and playing musical instruments. Mothers also took higher risks during the pregnancy of latter-born children, such as increased smoking. Dr Ana Nuevo-Chiquero, of Edinburgh University's school of economics, said: "Our results suggests that broad shifts in parental behaviour are a plausible explanation for the observed birth order differences in education and labour market outcomes." The study is published in the Journal of Human Resources. The owner said his animal was startled by something and ran into the ditch where it became trapped. Fire crews in dry suits and a specialist rescue team managed to lift the distressed horse to safety at the farm in Nether Worton at Hempton, near Banbury, on Saturday. The animal was checked over by a vet and had not suffered any serious injuries.

He said his original instinct was to pull US forces out, but had instead decided to stay and "fight to win" to avoid the mistakes made in Iraq. He said he wanted to shift from a time-based approach in Afghanistan to one based on conditions on the ground, adding he would not set deadlines. However, the US president warned it was not a "blank cheque" for Afghanistan. "America will work with the Afghan government, so long as we see commitment and progress," he said. The Taliban responded by saying that Afghanistan would become "another graveyard" for the US if it did not withdraw its troops. President Trump has committed to stepping up the US military's engagement in Afghanistan, but details were few and far between. He said his new approach would be more pragmatic than idealistic, and would switch from nation building to "killing terrorists". But he refused to get drawn on how many extra troops, if any, would be deployed and gave no timeline for ending the US presence in the country. Washington is expected to send up to 4,000 additional troops, but Mr Trump did not comment on this. The president did, however, put pressure on neighbouring Pakistan, warning that the US would no longer tolerate it offering "safe havens" to extremists - an accusation swiftly dismissed by a Pakistani army spokesman. The president also, for the first time, left the door open for an eventual peace deal with the Taliban, saying: "Someday, after an effective military effort, perhaps it will be possible to have a political settlement that includes elements of the Taliban in Afghanistan." However, Mr Trump said there would be an escalation in the battle against groups like al-Qaeda and so-called Islamic State. "[They] need to know they have nowhere to hide - that no place is beyond the reach of American arms," he said. Meanwhile, Mr Trump made it clear he expects his existing allies - singling out India - to support him in his new strategy, and urged them to raise their countries' contributions "in line with our own". Read more on Trump's presidency: By Secunder Kermani, BBC correspondent in Kabul Even with a few thousand extra US soldiers in Afghanistan - deployment levels would remain far lower than their peak in 2010/11 when there were around 100,000 US personnel in the country. So what is different this time? Firstly, that there is no deadline by which the US will begin to scale operations back. Critics of President Obama's surge say that because he made it clear it was temporary - the Taliban were encouraged to wait the Americans out. The second difference is that the US will put more pressure on Pakistan to end "safe havens" for the Taliban, according to President Trump. One analyst told me that the key to solving the conflict lies in Islamabad not in Afghanistan. But it is not clear how much leverage the US still has over Pakistan - or how Pakistan will respond to the accusations, given its consistent denial that it operates a "good terrorist, bad terrorist" policy. Pakistan has grown increasingly close to China, and has already had millions of dollars of US aid withheld for allegedly not taking enough action against the Taliban-allied Haqqani network. Before his presidency, Mr Trump was not shy about criticising his predecessors on their Afghanistan policy. He previously supported pulling US troops out of the conflict, which began under President George W Bush in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks. End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump Early on in his presidential campaign, however, he did acknowledge that US troops would have to stay in order to avoid the total collapse of the Afghan government. And this long-awaited announcement came after a months-long review, with the president himself acknowledging that his original instinct to pull-out had been reversed after discussions with national security advisers. BBC correspondent Aleem Maqbool in Washington says the people who might object to Mr Trump's strategy are the very ones who voted for him. They were told the president would focus on a policy of "America First", but he now says he wants a win in Afghanistan to make all the sacrifice worthwhile, our correspondent adds. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani welcomed the plan, saying: "The US-Afghan partnership is stronger than ever in overcoming the threat of terrorism that threaten us all." He said the new strategy would enhance the training of Afghan security forces. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg also praised the move and said the alliance, which has about 12,000 troops in Afghanistan, would not allow the country to become "a safe haven for terrorists who would attack our own countries". General John Nicholson, the head of both US and international forces in Afghanistan, said it "means the Taliban cannot win militarily". But Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid dismissed Mr Trump's strategy as "nothing new", telling the US to think of an exit strategy "instead of continuing the war". US combat operations against the Taliban officially ended in 2014, more than 8,000 special forces continue to provide support to Afghan troops. The Afghan government continues to battle insurgency groups and controls just half of the country.
President Donald Trump has said a hasty US withdrawal from Afghanistan would leave a vacuum for terrorists to fill.

The reality TV star and her half-sister Kendall Jenner will make cameo appearances in the film. It will be the fourth movie in the Ocean's franchise in 17 years - confusingly coming after Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. Kardashian and Jenner were photographed in New York on Monday after reportedly filming their cameos. The pair will apparently appear in scenes set at a fictional gala being held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One scene in the film features a jewel robbery at New York's annual Met Gala - an event packed with celebrities. The news comes three months after Kardashian was held at gunpoint during a robbery in Paris. She took a break from social media and public appearances as a result but has recently returned to Twitter and visited Dubai last week. Rihanna, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway are due to take some of the main roles in Ocean's Eight. Vogue editor Anna Wintour and fashion designer Zac Posen have also recently been spotted near the set - could they be making cameos in the same scenes? We'll find out when the film hits cinemas in June 2018. The original Ocean's 11 was released in 1960 and starred Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin - and was remade as Ocean's Eleven in 2001 with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Unlike Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen, the new film won't have major roles for Pitt and Clooney. Matt Damon will reprise his role for a brief appearance, and James Corden and Damian Lewis will also have cameos. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents. If you have a story suggestion email [email protected]. It happened just after 22.35 GMT on Tuesday night. A man aged in his 40s was in the house at the time but was not injured. Police said two shots were fired at the living room window of the house on Bonds Street. The gun attack has been condemned by the DUP MLA Gary Middleton, he said he was grateful no one was hurt. "We got a phone call last night when it happened, thankfully no one was hurt or killed," he said. "This has to be condemned in the strongest possible terms, there no place for such activity especially in such a residential area." Police have appealed for witnesses. Sales in the month grew 6.5% from the same month of 2014, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimated. The period covered was actually 30 August to 3 October, which means it includes the bank holiday weekend at the end of August. But the ONS said that the effect of the bank holiday had been removed by seasonal adjustment. September 2014 figures did not include the bank holiday weekend. The quantity bought in the retail industry grew 1.9% last month compared with August. "Falling in-store prices and promotions around the Rugby World Cup are likely to be the main factors why the quantity bought in the retail sector increased in September at the fastest monthly rate seen since December 2013," said Kate Davies head of retail sales at the ONS. Average shop prices including petrol stations were 3.6% lower in September than they had been a year earlier. The bank holiday applied in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. An earlier version of this story suggested that the rise in retail sales was due to the timing of the bank holiday weekend, but the ONS has now clarified that seasonal adjustment would have removed that effect.

The investigation by the Pittsburg High School publication, the Booster Redux, started as an introductory profile of the new head. But after three weeks they found that a college attended by Amy Robertson lacked accreditation. The six-student news team has drawn praise from journalists around the US. Ms Roberston was hired by the Pittsburg Board of Education on 6 March. The school district met on Tuesday night to accept her resignation from the $93,000-a-year (£74,500) post. In a statement, the board said that "in light of the issues that arose, Dr Robertson felt it was in the best interest of the district to resign her position". Trina Paul, editor of the Booster Redux, said: "She was going to be the head of our school and we wanted be assured that she was qualified and had the proper credentials. "We stumbled on some things that most might not consider legitimate credentials." During a conference call with the students, Ms Robertson "presented incomplete answers, conflicting dates and inconsistencies in her responses", the student newspaper reported. "That raised a red flag," 17-year-old student reporter Maddie Baden told the Kansas City Star. "If students could uncover all of this, I want to know why the adults couldn't find this." The students discovered that a private for-profit school in Dubai where Ms Roberston served as principal had its licence suspended in 2013 by the United Arab Emirates government, following years of "unsatisfactory" ratings. The Booster Redux also found that a Corllins University, where Ms Robertson received her master's and doctorate degrees, was not accredited by the US Department of Education. The college - which does not appear to have a physical address - has been accused of being a diploma mill, where people can buy degrees. Ms Robertson told the Kansas City Star: "The current status of Corllins University is not relevant because when I received my MA in 1994 and my PhD in 2010, there was no issue." Of the students' questions about her credentials, she said: "I have no comment in response to the questions posed by PHS students regarding my credentials because their concerns are not based on facts." The district superintendent said he would meet the newsroom on Wednesday to thank them. Michael Rankine opened the scoring for the hosts from the spot after Bruno Andrade's foul, and Josh Ginnelly fired in to double the lead before half time. Woking halved the deficit when Andrade was felled just outside the area and Giuseppe Sole swept home the free-kick. But Altrincham sealed the points when Jonathon Margetts found the net from Rankine's cushioned header. It was Woking's first league loss in eight games and means they remain a point outside the National League play-off places. Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "No complaints at all. We were always second best and I'm disappointed to say that because we've had a great run, with only losing once in in the last 12. "Sometimes you have a bad performance and we had a bad one, we never really got going early on. "We were second all over the park and they seemed like they wanted it more than us. They won personal battles all over the park. "It's the end of good run, (but) we've got ourselves in a good position and we find ourselves disappointed by not jumping into the top five - but on tonight's performance, we don't deserve to."

Police said the privately-owned helicopter crashed in the valley just off the Ramsey to Douglas Mountain Road at about 09:00 BST. It is believed there was only one person on board the aircraft, a man who was not thought to be from the Isle of Man, police said. The annual TT motorbike racing festival was due to start this weekend but the opening race was delayed by the winds. Det Insp Steve Maddocks of the Isle of Man Constabulary said the aircraft crashed into the fields near the 33rd Milestone. Officers said they were unable to reveal the condition of the helicopter crash casualty. The six-lap Superbike event was due to be staged on Saturday but has been postponed until Sunday.

European police agency Europol said visas and passports were sold for up to £2,500 ($3,600) and sent across the EU, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Greek police said the criminal networks were also involved in smuggling people across borders. About 100 people are still wanted in Greece and other countries. Europol said the network was based in Athens and consisted of two criminal groups, one run by Sudanese people and another by Bangladeshis, and 16 people have been arrested in Greece. Both groups forged passports, national ID cards, Schengen visas, driving licences, asylum seekers' registration cards and residence permits, police said. What is a Schengen visa? Paris to create camp for migrants Ten suspects were arrested in the Czech Republic, where a separate group would send stolen or lost travel documents to Athens for the Bangladeshi and Sudanese groups to falsify. A police spokesman in the Czech Republic said seven migrants were also arrested for using forged documents. The Sudanese-led group helped up to 15 migrants a month enter the EU at a cost of up to nearly £4,000 ($5,800, €5,200) per head, Greek police said. In other developments in the migrant crisis across Europe on Tuesday: Ian Walters, 51, is accused of deliberately crashing his car into an embankment and killing his wife, Tracy. The couple, from Swindon, were coming back from a "make or break" holiday on 21 March 2014, when they crashed near Markfield in Leicestershire. Mr Walters suffered a broken neck and amnesia. He denies murder. On the second day of the trial, witness Gary Donald, said Mr Walters' Mitsubishi L200 4x4 had overtaken him in the fast lane and then "veered sharply" onto the hard shoulder. He said: "It came past me on the outside lane and then veered sharply right and left and then into the embankment and disappeared into a line of trees. "They imploded. Debris, luggage, bits of car and parts of tree all flew into the air." He said he saw no indication or braking from the car before it crashed. The jury heard two dogs were also thrown out of the Walters' car and one died. Another driver, Sylvia Prince, called 999 and told emergency services: "A car has gone careering across the motorway and gone into the embankment. "It looks like the roofs caved in." Her son Steven Prince, who ran to help, told the jury at Leicester Crown Court: "The car was a hell of a mess. "I thought whoever was in the driver side would have been squashed...I couldn't believe there was anybody alive in there." Previously the court heard Mr and Mrs Walters married in 2012 and in time Mr Walters became abusive A week before the crash, Mrs Walters, 48, had called police and her husband, a driving test examiner, was questioned. Prosecutor Charles Miskin said a motive for causing the crash was because he "was in trouble with [Tracy]...and in trouble with police". "He probably felt some degree of humiliation and wanted to show her who was in charge." Following the crash, the couple were cut from the wreckage of the car and airlifted to hospital. Mrs Walters died from her injuries two days later. The trial continues.

O'Brien, 21, was airlifted to hospital after being injured when her mount Druid's Cross slipped and fell fatally during a race at Killarney. The jockey, a daughter of star trainer Aidan O'Brien, also fractured cheek bones in the fall. Druid's Cross was trained by the jockey's brother Joseph. The injured jockey has a fractured C1 vertebra in her neck and T6 in her back, as well as fractured cheek bones bilaterally, but Dr Adrian McGoldrick, chief medical officer for the Irish Turf Club, was able to issue more positive news on Wednesday. "She has had her MRI scans and Professor Paul Redmond, the head of department at Cork University Hospital, has looked at them and confirmed that she does not need surgery," said McGoldrick. "They will continue to review her facial injuries." McGoldrick added he expected O'Brien to be out for three to four months. O'Brien secured her first race win in 2013 at 16 and rode for her father in this year's English Derby and Irish Derby. On one corner was a large group of armed police officers, on the other was a squad of young soldiers. There was a khaki-green army pick-up truck beside them, looking totally out of place in a part of Paris associated with tourism rather than terrorism. A walk down the nearby Avenue des Champs-Élysée was eerie. The normally bustling boulevard was near-deserted. The city felt numb. It looked like Saturday evening in central Belfast 40 years ago. Empty streets. Shutters down. On side streets, there were more signs of life. Some people did still want to go out and socialise, just not in the most obvious places. It was a night when people wanted to keep their heads down. Indeed, that was the official advice from the authorities with citizens urged to stay indoors with France entering a state of emergency. In Paris, it seemed everyone had a story to tell, a direct or indirect account of Friday night's sudden attacks. For young people, social media is usually a vehicle for gossip and humour, but for young Parisians it's now being used for hospital updates and sympathy messages. A French woman I sat beside on a plane from Dublin to Paris, turned on her phone when we landed at Charles De Gaulle Airport only to find out on Facebook that a friend had died. Some airlines are offering passengers refunds if they don't want to go to Paris. Disneyland Paris is closed for three days and some families due to leave Dublin for Disney decided not to go. Hotels in Paris are doing their best to make life easier for tourists and business workers still staying in the city. Some hotels are putting on free food and refreshments for guests who are reluctant to venture outside. At the same time, those wishing to leave early are not having to pay cancellation fees. Paris wants people to stay. But if they go, the city wants them to come back soon. Just like London and New York in the wake of mass killings in recent years, Paris will try to slowly recover. The city's Latin motto is: Fluctuat nec mergitur. The translation is 'tossed by the water but not sunk'. Already this weekend, you can see the phrase being scrawled on walls. Yes, Latin graffiti. Paris is still Paris. Arla Foods have been granted planning permission by Aylesbury Vale District Council for a £150m complex on 70 acres (24 hectares) on land at Aston Clinton.

The dairy could be in operation by the end of next year.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the toll comprised 85 civilians, 240 rebels and 157 ISIS fighters. ISIS had killed 42 prisoners in Aleppo, while 47 members of the jihadist group had been executed by rebels, it added. The fighting has spread across four provinces in rebel-held parts of northern Syria over the past week. Attacks on fellow rebels and the abuse of civilian opponents of President Bashar al-Assad's government by ISIS's predominantly foreign fighters have led to increasingly frequent confrontations in recent months. The latest clashes erupted last Friday when rebels led by the Islamic Front, a relatively new coalition of Islamist groups, launched what appeared to a series of co-ordinated strikes against ISIS. The offensive was backed by the opposition National Coalition. Islamist brigades captured ISIS's headquarters in the northern city of Aleppo on Wednesday. At the former children's hospital they found the bodies of several men who had been executed. On Friday, rebels were reportedly making advances against ISIS in Aleppo and Idlib provinces, where ISIS's presence was relatively weak, but struggling in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, large parts of which have been under the jihadists' control for months. Rami Abdul Rahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory, told the AFP news agency: "It is likely dozens more people have lost their lives, but it is impossible to accurately document all the killings." On Tuesday, an ISIS spokesman warned its rivals that it would "crush them completely and kill the conspiracy in its cradle". The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says this has been by far the worst bout of violence between rebel groups since the uprising began in March 2011 and it is yet to run its course. Despite the severity of the conflict, there has been little sign yet that the overall rebel effort against the regime has been affected, our correspondent adds. Fighting in that war continues, especially in the country's third biggest city, Homs, where government forces killed about 40 rebels as they sought to break a siege, and in Damascus. A UN official warned on Friday that the humanitarian situation in the besieged, rebel-held Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in the south of the capital was deteriorating. "The profound civilian suffering in Yarmouk deepens,'' Christopher Gunness told the Associated Press. "Residents, including infants and children, have been subsisting for long periods on diets of such things as stale vegetables, animal feed and cooking spices dissolved in water," he added. "Infants are suffering from diseases linked to severe malnutrition, including anaemia, rickets, and kwashiorkor [a protein deficiency]." The Syrian Observatory said separately that it had documented the deaths of 41 Palestinian refugees as a result of food and medical shortages in the past three months. The violence comes less than two weeks before the planned start of an international conference in Switzerland to find a political solution to the conflict, which the UN says has left more than 100,000 people dead. Russian media reported on Friday that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, US Secretary of State John Kerry and the UN and Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, would hold talks in Paris on Monday to discuss issues surrounding the so-called Geneva II talks. On Thursday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he was not sure they would take place, while the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood said conditions were not right. Questions remain over who will represent the Syrian opposition and whether Iran will play a role. About 180 representatives of opposition factions who met in the Spanish city of Cordoba on Friday reportedly could not agree who should attend Geneva II, or whether they would attend at all. However, they agreed the talks should focus on establishing a time-frame for an end to the fighting.
At least 482 people have been killed in clashes between Syrian rebels and the al-Qaeda-linked Islamist State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), activists say.

The Scottish Parliament's health committee also supported a legally-enforceable ban on smoking in parts of hospital grounds. It has been examining a Scottish government bill on smoking products. It would introduce restrictions on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes, including a minimum purchase age of 18. The committee backed the "proportionate and balanced" approach to restricting the sale and advertising of e-cigarettes in the bill. But members called on the Scottish government to consider whether the NHS should provide national guidance on the risks and benefits of using them to quit smoking, and for more research on the issue. Deputy committee convener Bob Doris MSP said: "You just need to look at our high streets to see how popular e-cigarettes have become. "So given there is not clear evidence that they are harmless, the committee considered it sensible to introduce measures to restrict their sale in line with other smoking products. "However the majority of evidence we heard pointed to these products proving to be a useful aid in helping people to stop smoking." If passed, the bill will make it an offence to smoke within a designated no-smoking area around buildings in NHS hospital grounds. A Scottish government spokesman said: "While we accept that the devices may potentially help people smoke fewer cigarettes, or even stop altogether, we recognise that there are also risks involved. "We have included a range of provisions to regulate the sale of these products in the Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and Care) (Scotland) Bill which is being considered by the Scottish Parliament at the moment. "It contains measures to regulate e-cigarettes including age restrictions, proxy purchase, marketing restrictions and the creation of an e-cigarette retailers register."
MSPs on a Holyrood committee have backed new restrictions on the sale of e-cigarettes and called for national guidance on the risks and benefits.

The 37-year-old has scored 12 goals in what has been a disappointing campaign for the Ibrox side. In his third spell at Rangers, Miller has done enough to convince manager Pedro Caixinha he is worth a new deal. "I was delighted when he (Caixinha) let me know that he sees me as part of his squad next year and what his plans were," Miller told the Rangers website. "With the new manager coming in over the past two months it was important that he settled into the club, assessed his squad and fortunately enough he has made the right decision. "When a new manager comes in everybody's future is started to be thrown into doubt a wee bit, whether they have contracts or not. "He let me know a few weeks back his thoughts and what he'd seen and then it was just a case of getting things tied up with Stewart Robertson and Andrew Dickson. "I was always confident that the manager would see the work that I have been doing every day in training, the commitment to the cause and since he's come in I think I've maintained a decent level of performance and consistency. I was always hopeful I would stay on. "I am over the moon to get it signed and I'm looking forward to the last few games of the season and then building towards a better, more competitive year next season." Miller joined Rangers from Hibernian in 2000 but left the club the following year for Wolves. Following spells at Celtic and Derby County he rejoined Rangers in 2008, leaving again in 2011 before returning in 2014. The striker has hit 42 goals in 126 appearances in his third spell, but boss Caixinha says Miller brings much more than goals. "It is fantastic for everyone at the club that Kenny has agreed to stay with us for another year," the manager told Rangers' website. "I have been greatly impressed by his professionalism and leadership both on and off the field since I arrived here, and I believe his performances demonstrate he still has so much to offer us."
Rangers striker Kenny Miller has signed a one-year contract extension to stay at the club next season.

Media playback is not supported on this device Moyes has apologised for what he said to Vicki Sparks after an interview following a draw with Burnley in March. Sunderland are standing by the Scot, who has been asked to give his observations on the incident by the FA. "It's really good to have the support and I'm really grateful to them," Moyes told BBC Radio 5 live. When asked if he had thought his position was under threat following the comments, he said: "No. I felt I had made my apology, there had been no complaint from Vicki Sparks, and because of that, everything was fine." He also said it was his idea to offer an apology, adding: "As I said at the time, I regret my words." In his post-match news conference following Tuesday's 2-0 loss at Leicester, he admitted that he had been "surprised, in many ways" by the reaction to his comments. "The world of football is a great business now," he added. "It employs an incredible amount of people now, be it through the media or on the training grounds, and for that reason it is a big talking point." In the interview in question, Moyes was asked by Sparks if the presence of owner Ellis Short had put extra pressure on him. He said it had not but, after the interview, added Sparks "might get a slap even though you're a woman" and told her to be "careful" next time she visited. Both Moyes and Sparks were laughing during the exchange and the former Everton and Manchester United manager later apologised to the reporter, who did not make a complaint. Moyes revealed on Monday that the club knew about the incident soon after it occurred. In a statement on Tuesday, the club said: "The exchange between the manager and a BBC reporter was wholly unacceptable and such actions are not condoned or excused in any way. "David recognised this immediately, proactively bringing the matter to the attention of the CEO and apologising to the reporter. "The club also spoke with both a senior figure at the BBC and the reporter personally, expressing its profound regret over what had occurred. "The matter was treated with the utmost seriousness from the outset and the swift and decisive action taken by the club and the manager at the time ensured that it was resolved to the satisfaction of the reporter and the BBC, which was the priority. "With both the BBC and the reporter agreeing that appropriate action had been taken at the time, the club continues to fully support David in his role as manager of Sunderland AFC." Media playback is not supported on this device His comments have been criticised by shadow sports minister Dr Rosena Allin-Khan and Women in Football, with the latter saying it was "deeply disappointed and concerned" but "pleased that David Moyes has apologised". Football Association chairman Greg Clarke said: "It was regrettable, it was distasteful and I think it showed a complete lack of respect. And we in the game stand for respect. "But I don't think it undermines football's desire to be inclusive and respectful. Every now and again, we will have to remind people of the high standards we need to observe in football." When asked if it was sexist, Clarke said: "It could have been interpreted as such. "I think it's doubly bad to use such a term to a woman because there is a lot of violence against women in society and terms like that aren't just disrespectful, I think they are bad examples. "I regret that it happened and I'm sure that David Moyes regrets that it happened." The chief executive of Domestic violence charity Women's Aid, Polly Neate, said: "We cannot be complacent about remarks like these from influential men. "We urge the FA to act swiftly and take this opportunity to send out a clear and strong message to the footballing community that there is no place for sexism and misogyny in modern football." Speaking in a news conference on Monday, Moyes said: "I deeply regret the comments I made. "That's certainly not the person I am. I've accepted the mistake. I spoke to the BBC reporter, who accepted my apology." The BBC confirmed that Moyes and Sparks had spoken about the exchange and the issue had been resolved. A spokesman said: "Mr Moyes has apologised to our reporter and she has accepted his apology." Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League on 20 points, eight points from safety.
Sunderland boss David Moyes says that he never felt his job was in danger following his comments to a BBC reporter that she might "get a slap".

Voting will be held in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, Bengal and Pondicherry, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi said. Polling will be held from 4 April to 16 May. Votes will be counted on 19 May. Citizens from enclaves that India swapped with Bangladesh will also be eligible to vote. Mr Zaidi said a total of 170 million voters would be eligible to cast their votes in the five states. Regional parties are expected to play a dominant role in the elections. Voting will be held in the eastern state of West Bengal in six phases on 4, 17, 21, 25 and 30 April, as well as 5 May. Residents from Cooch Behar will also vote on 5 May. The district is home to 16,000 people who received Indian citizenship after India and Bangladesh swapped control of some 160 small pockets of land on each other's territory. Mr Zaidi said his department was taking measures to ensure that enclave residents received voter identification cards to enable them to participate in the "country's largest democratic exercise".

The campaign is being led by Stoke-on-Trent South Labour MP Rob Flello, whose constituency neighbours the site of one the factories. The 20,000 workers at ROF Swynnerton became known as the Swynnerton Roses. Across the UK, about 1.5 million women worked in similar factories. Mr Flello said "recognition was long overdue". "Every day these women were putting their lives on the line for this country, producing the bullets and shells that were needed on the front-line," he said. "We've recognised the Bevan Boys, the Land Girls and so forth but we've never recognised the munitions workers and it's about time we put that right." In 2009, a tree was planted at the National Memorial Arboretum, near Alrewas in Staffordshire, in honour of the Swynnerton Roses. Mr Flello said their work and the work of the other women required a more "significant memorial" within the arboretum. Iris Aplin and Mary Taylor, who both worked at the Swynnerton factory, said their work should be remembered. "Everybody accepted the work because there was a war on and we were intent on helping our troops to win it, but it should be recognised," said 90-year-old Mrs Aplin. Mrs Taylor, also 90, said: "It was women at work which helped to win the war and because it was troops that were on the front-line, munitions workers have been overlooked." The factory the women worked in remained open until 1958. The site is now owned by the Army and is used as a training base.
A campaign has started to raise funds for a memorial for women who worked at munitions factories in World War II.

Several gunmen attacked a hotel where officers stay, in the tourist area Las Playas on Sunday evening. Dozens of people had to shelter in shops while shooting continued, until after 23:00 local time (04:00 GMT). One suspected gunman was killed when police returned fire. Officers then chased other gunmen through the streets before securing the area. At the same time, a separate group of gunmen attacked a federal police base in the city. Mexico's federal authorities have called an emergency meeting with the local authorities to discuss the incident. Guerrero state Governor Hector Astudillo Flores told Imagen radio that the gang members were taking revenge for the arrest of their leader, last Friday. Freddy del Valle Berdel, known as "The Donkey," is the presumed leader of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel in Acapulco. "We have information that this is a retaliation for his detention. It was the federal police who arrested him and the attack was against federal police officers," said Mr Astudillo. Some universities in Acapulco have cancelled classes for Monday but local media (link in Spanish) report that according to education authorities, schools will still be open. The US department of state has warned American consular staff not to travel to Acapulco, saying that Guerrero was the most violent state in Mexico in 2015. Tens of thousands of people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico in the past decade.
Police officers came under attack in a two-hour gunfight in the Mexican city of Acapulco, officials say.

Competitive and amateur swimmers, not to be put off by the bad weather, found a novel use for the deep layers of snow which in some areas reached 40 inches (100cm), and posted videos of people launching themselves into the soft powder. Chris McMahon and Drew Riebel in Morgantown, West Virginia, braved the elements for their snow swim. "It started when we dared one of our friends to jump in the snow in their Speedos", they said. "We thought it would be funny if we had a race". Magz, from Fairfax, Virginia is a competitive swimmer and didn't want to let the white stuff get in the way of her fitness regime. Mick Vanoosten from New Jersey was with his fellow college students at Montclair State University when they decided to do a snow swim. "We had a practice swim in the morning and we were talking about doing it. "We planned to do four different strokes in a sequence - it was freezing when we all dived in. "After the snow swim we all sprinted inside and had a hot shower!" Anna Newnam and her friend Grace from North Carolina also took the snow plunge. Anna said: "We decided to do more than the usual dive into the snow and do a relay. It was fun but really cold!" However, it is probably not a great idea to copy these swimmers as it could be bad for your health! Compiled by Alison Daye Allegations of unethical treatment and underpayment will be investigated by the state government of Victoria. Victoria will also push for a national inquiry into what it has described as "a national shame". Claims Australia has an underclass of foreign workers treated like "slave labour" were made by ABC TV on Monday. The report by ABC's Four Corners programme detailed widespread abuses of Australia's 417 visa. The visa is for people aged 18 to 30 years of age who want a working holiday of up to 12 months in Australia. The investigation uncovered abuses of the popular visa, including what were described as "slave-like conditions" at farms and factories across Australia. "No employee should ever be exploited, harassed or deprived of their basic liberties", said Victoria's Minister for Industrial Relations Natalie Hutchins. "This is not just about the underpayment of wages; this is about creating an underclass of foreign workers," said Ms Hutchins in a statement. "It's clear that Victoria needs a better system in place when it comes to regulating labour hire practices," she said. The food being picked and processed by exploited workers was reportedly sold to consumers across the country by major supermarket chains and fast food outlets. Queensland MP Keith Pitt last month called for an investigation of exploitation of foreign workers in the horticultural sector. He said many farmers were at risk of prosecution because they were using labour hire companies that underpaid backpacker workers. Migrant workers are essential to Australia's agriculture sector, according to the National Farmers' Federation (NFF). "Without them, there would be a chronic labour shortage at peak harvest times of the year," said NFF President Brent Finlay. But he said all farmers had a responsibility to adopt employment practices and use labour contractors that did not exploit workers. "And it's not just farmers, this is a whole of supply chain issue," he said.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt.
It's really rather good, I think. Paul Wedgwood, chief executive of games studio Splash Damage, was highlighting what he sees as an unquestionable absurdity: women are sometimes portrayed in games ludicrously and inappropriately dressed for the situation they are in - as if heaving cleavage was a more effective defence than body armour. "We must not forget that we are entertainment," he added. "There's nothing wrong with sexualising men or women, because that is called for in certain narratives and with certain casts. "Just rarely is it necessary when someone is holding an AK-47." Splash Damage, based in Bromley, UK, is a independent games studio that has worked on all manner of what you might consider to be uber-masculine titles. Games like Doom, Wolfenstein and Gears of War. He and his colleagues were at the E3 games expo to promote Dirty Bomb, a first-person shooter in which you take control of a large cast of mercenaries deployed to a London ravaged by severe radiation. It's a game that has been quietly complimented on its portrayal of women. They're strong. They're fearsome. They're sexy. And they're dressed… here's the breakthrough... like soldiers. Mr Wedgwood makes it seem so simple. But we can't get away - and we've been writing about it for years - from gaming's diversity issue, one that evolves constantly as new titles and trends emerge. Two years ago at this event, there was considerable uproar when it was revealed that the new Assassin's Creed title would feature four playable characters, but not a single woman. Developer Ubisoft didn't help the matter by saying that plans for a female character were shelved as developers would have to "re-do a lot of animation". Two years on, this year's E3 should have, in theory, given us some idea whether the upset over Assassin's Creed - as well as a more general, widespread call for change - led to a greater effort from big publishers to reassess their direction. Two years is ample lead time to conceive, design and develop a game that would be ready for viewing at E3 2016. By some counts, there are fewer playable female characters in this year's new titles. But that's maybe not a fair reflection. Both Sony and Microsoft rolled out big new titles with prominent female characters. Recore (Xbox One) features Joule Adams, an agile heroine who calls upon several robotic sidekicks - named Mack, Seth and Duncan - to explore a mysterious, isolated world. In Horizon: New Dawn (PlayStation 4), you play Aloy. She finds herself up against dinosaur-like robots with not much more than a bow, arrow and knife. And Mass Effect: Andromeda (cross platform) appears to have a female character as the default, though you can play as a male if you wish. The key point from the E3 games line-up is that the female character-led games aren't niche or quirky efforts, but blockbuster titles with huge budgets. But it would be naive to say the issue of diversity in gaming starts and ends with a different line-up of characters. Improving diversity in "games" is different from improving diversity in "gaming". At this year's E3, Microsoft launched Gaming for Everyone, a scheme that hopes to group gamers by the type of experience they are looking for - an attempt to provide an alternative to the sometimes harsh discourse that many might find uncomfortable or maybe just irritating. "One of our ideas is around looking for groups or clubs on Xbox Live," explained Letty Cherry, Xbox's head of PR. "It's giving people all of the different choices to create games the same way that they play them. Do they feel it's a safe environment? Do they feel it's a comfortable environment? "If a woman wants to play a game and she only wants to play with other females, great. We have so many different ways of having choice. We're not trying to ostracise anyone." The debate around diversity in gaming tends to initially gravitate towards issues around gender, but it of course can also be about race, ethnicity and sexuality. Progress with race can perhaps be best seen in EA's latest incarnation of its Fifa football series. In Fifa 17, you can play a story mode in which you control a promising young, black footballer from Clapham, London. Meanwhile, the new instalment of action game Watch Dogs will also feature a black lead character - Marcus Holloway, a young hacker from Oakland, California. But while there is a thriving lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) gaming community, games are often lacking in openly gay prominent, playable characters that move past stereotypes. "We are working on it," adds Microsoft's Ms Cherry. "I think there is way more we could be doing. We are climbing a mountain and we have many more steps. "The industry has tonnes of work to do to make it more welcoming for everyone." Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook Read and watch more E3 coverage
If the act of improving diversity in video games needs a motto, how about this: "I just don't think that women should fight in bras on the battlefield."

Labour has been left with just one MP north of the border, but its Scottish leader Jim Murphy, who lost his seat, said he would continue in his post. The Liberal Democrats lost 10 seats with only Alistair Carmichael holding on in Orkney and Shetland. The Conservatives held Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale - the other seat to withstand the SNP tsunami. The headlines of the night were: The scale of the SNP's rout of Labour is unprecedented. It won by 10,000 votes in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, which had previously been held by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. In East Renfrewshire, the SNP's Kirsten Oswald defeated Mr Murphy - who had been defending a majority of 10,400 - by 3,718 votes. The SNP has won 56 seats, the Tories, Lib Dems and Labour have just one each. That sees Scotland's political map changed from a distinctive red/orange to a widespread yellow. Despite former Labour MP Ian Davidson - who lost his Glasgow South West seat to the SNP's Christopher Stephens - calling for Mr Murphy to resign he told a news conference on Friday morning that he would "continue the fight". Mhairi Black, who becomes the UK's youngest MP at the age of 20, overturned former shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander's majority of 16,600 in Paisley and Renfrewshire South to win by 5,684 votes - a swing of 27% from Labour to the SNP. The SNP also gained Edinburgh South West, which had previously been held by Labour's former Chancellor Alistair Darling. Labour's former Shadow Scottish Secretary Margaret Curran was defeated by more than 10,000 votes by the SNP's Natalie McGarry in Glasgow East. In the aftermath of the referendum, folk in Scotland have been in a mindset which was focused upon the need for a clear Scottish voice. That demand is inchoate and imprecise - in that it is not pegged directly or solely to a demand for particular devolved powers or a particular economic strategy. It is, nevertheless, powerful and all-consuming. Perhaps all the more potent in that it is wide-ranging, rather than narrowly driven. It is an aggregate feeling of remoteness from the concerns of a metropolitan elite, a feeling of physical and cultural distance from the Westminster centre of UK political life. A shout of anger, a yell of anguish, a demand to be heard. And that feeling found expression through the SNP. Nicola Sturgeon is right. It tells us nothing about independence - other than the fact that the people of Scotland were not seemingly scared to endorse a party whose reason for being is to end the Union. Read more from Brian Alan Brown was elected as the new SNP MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun - which was the first seat in Scotland to declare - with 30,000 votes. over Labour's Cathy Jamieson who polled 16,362 votes. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, who is now in London for VE Day commemorations, said she had hoped her party would do well but "never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined we'd win 56 out of Scotland's 59 MPs". "The tectonic plates of Scottish politics shifted yesterday - it is a historic result," she said. Ms Sturgeon told the BBC: "Given that we are, unfortunately, facing another Conservative government, it's all the more important that we've got a strong team of SNP MPs standing up for Scotland. "The government at Westminster cannot ignore what has happened in Scotland, people have voted overwhelmingly for Scotland's voice to be heard and for an end to austerity." She added: "We will go to Westminster and seek to ensure that Westminster governments can't ignore Scotland, that they can't simply push aside the things that were voted for in Scotland yesterday." Throughout the election campaign, Ms Sturgeon had been hoping to form a "progressive alliance" with other parties to bring about change at Westminster. But with the Conservatives having won a majority at Westminster, she insisted Labour could not blame her party for its failure to win across the UK. Ed Miliband, who has resigned as UK Labour leader in the wake of the loss, said his party had been "overwhelmed" by a "surge of nationalism" in Scotland. Mr Miliband added: "I also want to say that the next government has a huge responsibility in facing the difficult task in keeping our country together. "Whatever party we come from, if we believe in the UK we should stand up for people in every part of our United Kingdom. Because I believe what unites us is much, much more than what divides us." Speaking in Downing Street after winning an outright majority, Prime Minister David Mr Cameron said the Conservatives would "govern as a party of one nation". He said new powers promised to Scotland before the referendum would be delivered, creating the "strongest devolved government anywhere in the world". Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg also stood down after his party's disastrous showing across the UK, with 10 losses to the SNP in Scotland. Former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy lost his Ross, Skye and Lochaber seat to the SNP's Ian Black ford. Mr Kennedy had held the seat for 32 years. And former Lib Dem Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander lost by more than 10,000 votes to Drew Hendry of the SNP in Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey. The SNP's John Nicolson also defeated Lib Dem incumbent Jo Swinson in Dunbartonshire East The results mean that the SNP has recorded its most successful general election ever. Its previous best was in October 1974, when it won 11 seats. The party won six seats in 2010. Among its new MPs is former party leader Alex Salmond who will be returning to the House of Commons after winning the Gordon constituency from the Liberal Democrats. Mr Salmond, who served as an MP between 1987 and 2010, said: "There's going to be a lion roaring tonight, a Scottish lion, and it's going to roar with a voice that no government of whatever political complexion is going to be able to ignore. "I think it's going to be a resounding voice, a clear voice, a united voice from Scotland, and I think that is a very good thing". David Cameron is back in Downing Street but at what price? Has the Conservative prime minister sacrificed the union for another five years of power? These are the questions many people are asking today after a party which fought for independence for 80 years swept to victory in Scotland. The answer from the jubilant leader of the Scottish National Party, Nicola Sturgeon, is "no", this does not advance her cause. She insisted that her MPs would speak for all of Scotland — not just for the 45% who voted for the country to leave the United Kingdom last September. "This changes nothing," Ms Sturgeon told me when I asked her about independence at the count in Glasgow, in a brief moment of calm during the nationalist avalanche. Read James' analysis in full
The SNP has recorded a historic landslide general election victory in Scotland, winning 56 out of 59 seats.

Mary-Jean O'Doherty, 33, sang Face The Shadow in Vienna on Saturday as part of the group Genealogy. Speaking to BBC Wales ahead of the contest, she praised the Welsh support which helped the group through the semi-final on Tuesday. The group finished in 16th place with 34 points. Speaking about her semi-final experience before Saturday's final, she said: "It's just one of those surreal moments where you just think 'wow'. "There was a lot of Armenian flags and Welsh flags as well which was great. There was so much positive energy." O'Doherty, born in the United States to an Australian father and a Greek-Armenian mother, has settled in Cardiff with her Welsh husband. She was selected for this year's contest by broadcaster Public Television of Armenia. "I have never been to Armenia and I have always wanted to know about my heritage, about my genealogy," she added. "I couldn't think of a more interesting or outstanding way to do both." The UK was represented at Saturday's show by duo Electro Velvet, who finished in 24th place with five points. The 63-year-old man was admitted to hospital after complaining of vomiting and difficulty defecating. He told his doctor that he had swallowed a bottle cap in anger, after a fight with his wife. But when surgeons operated they found gold bars weighing nearly 400g (14oz) in his stomach instead of a bottle cap. Doctors, who performed the operation on 9 April, told the BBC that police and customs authorities had questioned the businessman and confiscated the gold. India, the world's largest consumer of gold, has seen a record rise in smuggling after a rise in duty on imports of metal to curb the current account deficit. Dr CS Ramachandran, a senior surgeon at Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said he had never seen a "case like this in my life". "This is the first time I have recovered gold from the stomach of a patient. I remember having taken out a bladder stone weighing 1kg from a patient. But finding gold in a patient's stomach was something unbelievable," he said. "It was a tedious three-hour-long operation. He is an old patient and we had to be careful. We found 12 gold bars lying in a stack in his stomach." The businessman, who had undergone four stomach surgeries in the past and is a diabetic, was admitted to the hospital earlier this month, with symptoms of "acute intestinal obstruction", Dr Ramachandran added. Last year India's government hiked the import duty on gold three times to curb demand for the precious metal. Gold imports, which had peaked at 162,000kg in May 2013, came down to 19,300kg in November after the hike.

The beetle has killed about 38 million ash trees, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA approved the release of four species of wasps, which lay eggs inside the ash borer larvae and prevent them from developing into adult beetles. The treatment and removal of the affected trees costs up to $25bn. The wasp program is not likely to save any current trees, but is aimed at preventing the ash borer from decimating future tree populations, according to entomologist Ben Slager. "It's really a long-term management thing," said Mr Slager, an entomologist at the Michigan laboratory producing the wasps for the federal program. The emerald ash borer, which feeds on a tree's tissue and prevents nutrients from moving to branches, is believed to have been accidentally introduced in North America during the 1990s through wood-shipping crates from Russia, China, Japan or Korea. The wasps have been released in 24 of the 26 states where the insect has been found. The two remaining states, Texas and Georgia, are also expected to introduce the wasp program.
Millions of tiny, parasitic wasps have been deployed across 24 US states in an effort to stop the spread of the tree-killing emerald ash borer.

Allison Muncaster was shot in July by husband Stephen as she tried to escape the home in Magdalen, near King's Lynn. Builder Muncaster was later found dead in the couple's front garden. Norfolk senior coroner Jacqueline Lake ruled Mrs Muncaster had been unlawfully killed. Muncaster was the uncle of the so-called "lotto lout" Michael Carroll. Norfolk Coroner's Court heard how the shooting was captured by CCTV cameras positioned throughout the house in Stow Road. Det Con Jeremy Pitt from Norfolk Police told the hearing how the cameras showed the couple both appearing to be upset in the lounge at 23:49 GMT on 11 July. Muncaster is then seen retrieving a shotgun from the bedroom. "Stephen goes to collect the shotgun that had been concealed under the bed earlier in the evening," the officer said. "Allison was sitting on the sofa in the second lounge. Stephen then produces the gun from behind his back." The fatal shot was fired at 00:05 GMT. Mr Pitt told the court: "He takes aim. Allison, realising what's about to happen, gets off the sofa and tries to run. "She's fatally injured in the head and collapses on the lounge floor." He said cameras covered the lounge where cleaner Mrs Muncaster sat on the sofa as well as the neighbouring room from which her husband fired the shot. Mr Pitt added there was no record of previous domestic incidents, and Muncaster held a valid shotgun and firearms licence. The builder had appeared on national TV alongside his nephew, Michael Carroll, when the 19-year-old won £9.7m on the National Lottery in 2002. The former binman became known as the "Lotto lout" when he collected his winnings wearing an electronic tag. At the time, Mr Carroll had been living with Muncaster and he then wife Kelly at the property in Magdalen. In a written statement, paramedic Michael Heppel described how Muncaster's body was found with a shotgun by his side. He found Mrs Muncaster's body inside. Two dogs were also "standing quietly behind a child gate in the kitchen." A post-mortem examination concluded Mrs Muncaster died of a shotgun wound to the head. There were no signs of offensive, defensive or restraint wounds. The inquest into the death of Stephen Muncaster will take place in April. The sale has been agreed on the condition the developer secures planning permission for up to 500 homes on the two sites. In June the broadcaster unveiled plans to move to a new, purpose-built centre outside Cardiff Central rail station. The sale of the current sites will help fund the new development and staff are expected to move in 2018. Taylor Wimpey's proposed development, which would create 100 construction jobs and a further 300 in the supply chain, includes BBC Wales' Ty Oldfield building on the opposite side of Llantrisant Road. The firm's land director, Gareth Hawke, said it would combine private and affordable homes, car parking and public open space, with the first properties expected to go on sale in early 2019. The decision to relocate followed a three-year study, prompted by the ageing facilities in Llandaff and the need to modernise the outdated and unreliable technology. Commenting on the news of the conditional sale, director of BBC Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies said: "Our sites in Llandaff have served us well for nearly half a century. "But the technology and facilities here are showing their age and our new home will enable us to strengthen our programmes and services." "I believe the exciting plans for our new home in Central Square make real creative and financial sense for the BBC and have the potential to play a pivotal role in unlocking the regeneration of an important part of our capital city," he added. Cardiff council leader, Phil Bale said BBC Wales' relocation to Central Square was a major statement of confidence in its plans to build a public square worthy of any European capital. Final approval for BBC Wales' move will be sought later this year.

Just a month after his appointment as England manager, Allardyce suggested Great Britain should enter football teams at future Olympics. After a 52-year absence from Olympic football, Great Britain's men had made a controversial return at the 2012 Games in London. Team GB entered a women's team as well but, with neither at the Rio Olympics this year, Allardyce championed a return for both teams at future Games. "To turn it down is a great shame. It's something we may look at in the future and try to compete in," he said. It was not a view shared by his Wales counterpart, Chris Coleman. "For us, no. I don't agree with that," said Coleman, who led Wales to a first major tournament semi-final at Euro 2016. "Anything that could put what we've got here, what we've built here, in jeopardy, we would not be for that. "We've always had a stance that we don't agree with it, and that hasn't changed." England's Football Association had put forward the idea of sending Great Britain teams to the Olympics, but Fifa said it would need the agreement of the ruling bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who were against it. Those three home nations fear such a move could affect their independent status within the sport's world governing body and at international tournaments such as the World Cup. "I cannot accept we should be a Great Britain team. I think that is wrong. Our independence would possibly go away," former Football Association of Wales (FAW) president Trefor Lloyd Hughes told BBC Wales Sport. "People say it would not, but be careful. I'm giving the warning that it's a possibility. "This is my opinion, not the FAW's. I personally will not support Wales joining Team GB at all." There was a sinking familiarity to the way Team GB's most recent Olympic campaigns ended - both men and women exiting at the quarter-final stage - but it was the fraught nature of Great Britain's return which most will remember about football at London 2012. Great Britain had been Olympic football regulars until 1960 and, having failed to qualify for the next three Games, they decided not to enter a team. That was until London was awarded the 2012 Olympics, and the clamour grew - from some parts more than others - for Great Britain to field a team. The Football Associations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland opposed the idea, fearful a British side could affect their status as independent footballing nations. In 2009, they suggested England could play on behalf of Great Britain. However, Britain's Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said non-English players would have the legal right to be considered for Team GB. There was a compromise of sorts. Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish associations were still opposed to the idea in principle, but they would not stand in the way of any players selected for Great Britain - under the condition the London Olympics would be a one-off. Ultimately, the 18-man squad coached by Stuart Pearce included 13 English players, none from Scotland or Northern Ireland, and five from Wales - Neil Taylor, Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs. There were no Great Britain football teams - male or female - at the 2016 Rio Olympics. A place was earned for a women's side thanks to England finishing third in the 2015 World Cup, but again the four national associations could not agree on sending a team to Brazil. "It's a shame women's football wasn't in the Olympics," Wales manager Jayne Ludlow told BBC Wales Sport. "The way the game is growing, any event with regards to women's football is one that everybody involved in the women's game should make the most of." Although keen to see Great Britain field a women's team in the Olympics, Ludlow's endorsement was qualified. England coach Hope Powell took charge of Team GB for the 2012 Games and named a squad which included 16 English players and two from Scotland but none from Northern Ireland or Wales, whose influential midfielder Jess Fishlock was a surprising omission. "The thought process with that going forward is the doors are open to discussions but it has to be an environment where it does become a GB team and it doesn't run the way it ran last time," Ludlow added. "But it ran that way because of people who were in charge at that time. As a Welsh FA we have to do the best thing for Welsh players." For the men's competition, qualification is via the European Under-21 Championship. England were the only home nation to compete in that tournament, but failed to secure the required semi-final place. The Scottish Football Association told BBC Wales Sport it remains "opposed to the concept of a Team GB football team", while the Irish Football Association said it "would not be in favour of sending players to a GB Olympic team" and the FAW is still against the idea as well. While the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish associations oppose the idea, it is understood some would not stand in the way of their players if they were selected for Great Britain. Selection for the women's team in 2012 proved a sensitive subject, with Scotland's record goalscorer Julie Fleeting ruling herself out of contention for fear of jeopardising the Scottish national team. For Fishlock, the political impasse is a source of frustration. "I get why there is no team GB but for women's football in the UK it needs a team GB there's no doubt about that," she told BBC Wales Sport. "You see the exposure it gets, you see how supportive people are of the Olympics. Do I wish that there was a team GB? Absolutely, I think it's great. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, it's phenomenal. "Do I think there will ever be one? No I don't think there will be one ever again. We can keep pushing it and keep pushing it but the only way it's going to change is if governing bodies come out and say it doesn't matter if you have a Team GB, nothing will change with regards to the Euros or the World Cup - but that's not a guarantee. "The reality of it is if I went to a major tournament I would want to go to play for Wales." Swansea City's English midfielder Jack Cork, who was in Great Britain's men's squad for London 2012, is also disappointed by Team GB's absence. "It's sad. We're missing out on a good thing there. It's another big tournament experience Great Britain could get behind and it's a shame we're not involved in that," he said. "It was amazing. I loved it and I wish they would do it again at future Olympics because it's an unbelievable experience. Especially being in London, it was amazing so I would like to see it back."
It did not take long for Sam Allardyce to revive one of the most divisive debates in British football's recent history.

Choi Soon-sil has been charged over allegations she colluded with President Park Geun-hye to gain influence and money for herself. Ms Park, who denies corruption, faces an impeachment hearing on Friday. Amid ongoing street protests, she has said she will resign once parliament finds a way for her to do so smoothly. The parliamentary hearing in Seoul is questioning the heads of some of South Korea's biggest companies, including Samsung, Lotte, Hyundai, SK and LG. All the companies gave large donations to foundations run by Ms Choi. They are being quizzed over whether the donations were used to gain them favourable treatment by the government. All have denied improper activity, though suggested there had been pressure to make donations. One of the corporate bosses acknowledged that it was difficult for firms to say no to government requests. "It's a South Korean reality that if there is a government request, it is difficult for companies to decline," said Huh Chang-soo, head of the GS Group and chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries lobby group. Ms Choi, who is in police detention along with two other aides of Ms Park, has so far refused to attend the hearing as a witness, citing ill health. But on Wednesday morning she and several other key witnesses, including members of her family, were ordered to appear. "This hearing is being criticised as a Choi Soon-sil trial without Choi Soon-sil," said the committee chairman Kim Sung-tae, according to the Agence France Presse news agency. He said the panel would "undertake all measures" to make her and other witnesses appear, before sending security officers to collect the group. They could face jail or fines if they refuse. The extraordinary scenes are being broadcast live on TV. The panel has no power to punish but its chairman has said the hearing is a place for apologies. Ms Park has apologised multiple times to the public for allowing Ms Choi inappropriate access to government decisions but has stopped short of resigning. Last week she said she would leave it to parliament to decide her fate, and on Tuesday she was quoted by her party's leader as saying she would accept the outcome of Friday's impeachment vote. The 30-year-old previously spent 18 months with the club he followed as a boy when he first signed for Blues from neighbours Aston Villa in January 2010. After being part of the 2011 League Cup wining team, he left for Sunderland. But he returned to the Midlands with then managerless Albion in May 2014. Gardner scored six times in 85 appearances in all competitions in his two-and-a-half years at The Hawthorns. "Craig has done a great job for me and we were certainly not in any hurry to see him leave," said Albion boss Tony Pulis. "But he is desperate to play first team football, which I could not guarantee, and this is a terrific opportunity for him at Birmingham City.

The initiative is part of an industry-wide push to encourage people to learn coding, amid concerns of a skills shortage. It comes as Apple faces strong competition from rival app platform Google Play. Apple hopes to expand its training programme to countries worldwide. Chief executive Tim Cook said: "Europe is home to some of the most creative developers in the world, and we're thrilled to be helping the next generation of entrepreneurs in Italy get the skills they need for success." Apple says its app store has created more than 1.4 million jobs in Europe. The UK leads the way with 242,000 jobs in iOS development, followed by Germany with 209,000, France with 163,000, and Italy with 75,000. But Google Play had twice the number of downloads in 2015, according to app analytics company App Annie. Although, Apple makes more revenue from apps - partly because Google's popularity is very strong in the developing world, where users spend less money on downloads. App Annie's European director Jaede Tan said: "Apple opening such a centre can only be a positive for the European app economy. "Forty-thousand apps are released each month, and there are an increasing number of people getting involved in development." The European Commission predicts the lack of coding skills in Europe could lead to a shortage of up to 900,000 ICT professionals by 2020.
Apple is opening a training centre in Naples that aims to teach a "new generation" of computer coders how to develop new software for its app store.

Silver has been used as an antimicrobial for centuries, but little has been known about how it works. The new research suggests adding it to existing antibiotics could counteract the rise of drug-resistant microbes. Experiments in mice showed the metal disrupts the biological processes of bacteria, making them more permeable to antibiotics, a US team reports. Bacteria are adapting and finding ways to survive the effects of antibiotics. According to England's chief medical officer, Prof Dame Sally Davies, antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a rate that is both alarming and irreversible. Silver acts against Gram-negative bacteria - one of the two main types of bacteria - which are particularly difficult pathogens to treat. The research was led by Jose Ruben Morones-Ramirez of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Boston University. He told the journal Science Translational Medicine: "This work shows that silver can be used to enhance the action of existing antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria, thus strengthening the antibiotic arsenal for fighting bacterial infections." Future studies will focus on testing how silver can be added to antibiotic injections or tablets for use in patients.
Adding silver to antibiotics makes them 10 to 1,000 times more effective at fighting infections, research suggests.

Gynaecologist Dr Anthony Madu, 46, secretly carried out locum work at hospitals while firstly suspended and later on paid sick leave from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. He was found guilty of six counts of fraud in 2014 but was spared jail on condition he paid back the money. But Swansea magistrates heard he had not done so. Nigerian-born Madu, of Woolwich, London, continued to work for other health boards while on paid leave, including in Manchester, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. The cost to the four hospitals he defrauded was said to be £240,000 and his 2014 trial at Newport Crown Court heard he had transferred £95,000 to a Nigerian bank account. Speaking at the time, prosecutor Christian Jowett said Madu, a specialist registrar, had not told his employers about his additional work, or his two locum agencies about being on sick leave, which he was legally obliged to do. "He continued to work and receive payment from both Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and his work in England," he added. Madu was suspended and put on extended leave by the health board in 2009 over allegations about his conduct towards other staff and claims he had falsified his training record. From January 2010, he submitted sick notes on three different occasions, saying he could not work because of stress. But the doctor, who earned close to £100,000 a year, went on to do locum work worth about £69,000 with three NHS trusts in England while still earning more than £29,000 from his employers in Wales. In June 2016 Madu was ordered to pay £73,000 back to the NHS within six months, an order which he appealed. After he failed to repay it he was jailed for two years.

Alicja Dworakowska, 29, was reported missing from her home in Beeston in Leeds on Tuesday. West Yorkshire Police issued an urgent appeal following the disappearance of the heavily-pregnant mother and young girl. The force thanked the public and media for their assistance in locating them. Brian Sandoval said the California-based company will use the plant to make cheaper and more efficient batteries for future cars. Correspondents say the factory will be a key part of Tesla's ambitions of taking on major automobile companies. The "gigafactory" is predicted to bring nearly $100bn into Nevada's economy. Mr Sandoval said that he hoped that target could be reached within the next 20 years, simultaneously reducing Tesla's battery costs by 30%. Tesla will prepare, provide and manage the land and buildings, while Panasonic will make and supply the lithium-ion battery cells. The plant is to be located in an industrial park in Storey County, about 25km (15 miles) east of Reno, an area that currently has a population of around 4,000. Nevada fended off competition from Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California as the site for the factory, which is expected to create 6,500 jobs with another 16,000 more indirectly. Mr Sandoval said that the plant will become the "world's largest and most advanced battery factory". He described the selection of Nevada as a "historic day" for the state. Tesla chief executive and co-founder Elon Musk said that while Nevada's offer to his company "was not the biggest incentive package", the state had proved it "can do things quickly" and "get things done". Yoshihiko Yamada of Panasonic said in July that the factory would help the electric vehicle market grow. Sales of zero-emission electric vehicles currently make up less than 1% of the world's car market. Terry Bywater top-scored for GB with 20 points, but they could not win a fourth successive title as Turkey won 76-69. GB's men had trailed by 12 at half-time and fought back to within three in the final quarter, but Turkey - who won the pool match between the teams - held on to win the gold medal. Earlier in the day, GB's women won bronze with a 68-37 win over France. They won every quarter in the bronze-medal match, having beaten the same opponents by four points in the pool stages, with co-captain Helen Freeman top-scoring with 27 points. GB women's coach Miles Thompson said: "The game we played against France was the game we were searching for this tournament. "We separated early and we stayed separated through consistent defence." The women's final was won by the Netherlands, who beat Germany 56-46. GB men's co-captain Terry Bywater said: "We'd won it three times - we wanted a fourth. I think the first twenty minutes we were nervous, we wanted it so bad and it showed. "We showed that we are one of the best teams in Europe. At the end of the day it's about keeping our heads held high - we made the final."

The Independent Police Complaints Commission found the officers did not progress the investigation into the south Wales singer adequately. They also failed to record decision-making and pursue all lines of inquiry. Bedfordshire Police has accepted the record keeping recommendations. Det Chf Supt Mark Lay said that the force will put a plan in place to address the issues raised by the IPCC. The watchdog found that Bedfordshire Police did take immediate steps to investigate the Lostprophets singer from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff. The unnamed officers, a detective constable and a supervising sergeant, provided written accounts but refused to answer questions when interviewed by IPCC investigators. IPCC commissioner Jan Williams said: "Nothing was found by our investigation to say the force could definitely have prevented any offending, or contributed to bringing Ian Watkins to justice sooner. "However, there were some more investigative steps detectives could have taken." It was concluded that neither officer has a case to answer in respect of Joanne Mjadzelics' complaint that they failed to protect an 18-month-old child. The watchdog has an ongoing investigation into South Wales Police and South Yorkshire Police. Watkins, 36, was reported to authorities four times in the four years before he was arrested. Despite allegations he raped a child and wanted to father another to abuse, the former rock star was not interviewed. The singer was jailed for 29 years last December after admitting a catalogue of serious sex offences involving children. Two women who are the mothers of the children he abused were also jailed.
Two detectives who worked on the Ian Watkins child abuse investigation have cases to answer for misconduct, a police watchdog has recommended.

The 38-year-old made 47 appearances for Great Britain and England between 2000 and 2012, scoring 12 tries. Peacock, who will work alongside new head coach Wayne Bennett, said: "I'm looking forward to being part of a winning England set-up." The Four Nations, which begins in October, features hosts England, Australia, New Zealand and Scotland. Peacock played for Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos before retiring in 2015 to join Hull KR as football manager. He will join former Great Britain internationals Denis Betts and Paul Wellens as part of the England staff and will be responsible for team planning and player support. Peacock won nine Super League titles and four Challenge Cups in his 17-year career. Thames Valley Police is currently treating the death, discovered on the A404 slip road at High Wycombe, as unexplained. The remains were found by a police officer on Saturday afternoon, the force said. Police say the road is likely to remain closed until Monday while evidence is gathered at the scene. Midfielder Arturo Vidal was brought down in the box by Miller Bolanos in the second half and picked himself up to convert the penalty for Chile. Former QPR man Eduardo Vargas netted the second, calmly slotting home, as Matias Fernandez was sent off late on. Ecuador's best chance fell to West Ham striker Enner Valencia, who struck the crossbar with a close-range header. Chile have never won the competition in its 99-year history, coming runners-up on four occasions, the last being in 1987. And having reached the last-16 of the 2014 World Cup, the Chileans are third favourites behind Argentina and Brazil to lift the trophy this year. The top two sides from the three groups will progress to the quarter-finals, as well as the two best third-placed teams, with these sides lining up alongside Mexico and Bolivia in Group A. Chile showed more intent in the encounter with some sharp, crisp passing, while Juventus's Vidal and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez combined well in the final third. But they were unable to find a killer touch in front of goal early on as Sanchez stabbed an effort wide, while ex-QPR full-back Mauricio Isla came close as well. Ecuador, who failed to make it out of their group at last year's World Cup, were happy to sit back and use their pace on the counter-attack. Striker Fidel Martinez forced Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo into a full stretch save. The game's defining moment came from Vidal, who seemed to go down easily in the penalty area, but stepped up to score an unstoppable spot-kick into the top corner of the net. They got their second six minutes from time, punishing poor Ecuador defending, as Sanchez played in Vargas who struck a low finish. The match ended on a sour note for Chile after substitute Fernandez was dismissed for hacking down Juan Carlos Paredes in injury time.

Using dead children's identities is "ghoulish" and forces must apologise, the Home Affairs Committee said. It said the law failed to protect the rights of those affected, including those in relationships with officers. The Association of Chief Police Officers said it backed more controls and would welcome a review of the law. Home affairs committee chairman Keith Vaz said the effect of undercover officers' conduct on women with whom they had relationships had been "devastating". A raft of allegations have been made since it became known in 2011 that former PC Mark Kennedy had spied on environmental protesters posing as long-haired dropout Mark "Flash" Stone and had at least one sexual relationship with an activist. Five women and one man are suing the Metropolitan Police over alleged intimate relationships with undercover officers, says the cross-party committee. It also says an undercover officer is alleged to have fathered a child before disappearing. 'Lisa' had a six-year relationship with former PC Mark Kennedy, who posed as Mark "Flash" Stone to infiltrate a group of environmental protesters. "I was absolutely shocked and devastated. "You imagine that somebody may be in public meetings that environmental groups have. You imagine there might be somebody listening in there. "You could even imagine that your phone might be tapped or that somebody might look at your emails, but to know that there was somebody in your bed for six years, that somebody was involved in your family life to such a degree, that was an absolute shock. "Well, "shock" is an understatement. It felt like the ground had shifted beneath me and my sense of what was reality and what wasn't was completely turned on its head." The women betrayed by undercover officers "It is unacceptable that a child should be brought into the world as a result of such a relationship and this must never be allowed to happen again," the committee stresses. Harriet Wistrich, the solicitor acting for eight women who had relationships with officers, said they had been devastated by discovering the real identities of men who had been part of their lives for up to six years. "All of the women I am working with have suffered very serious, significant serious psychological damage, sometimes of a devastating nature," she said. "It's outrageous this kind of infiltration should take place, whatever the circumstances." James Bannon, a former undercover officer told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that having relationships with women to infiltrate a group could only be justified in extreme circumstances. "If you have exhausted every other avenue of infiltration in order to gather evidence on a particular person or particular group and your only course of action after you've exhausted everything else is to have a relationship in order to effect your cover with somebody, then I think there's a justification around it," he said. It has also been claimed - says the report - that an officer planted a bomb on behalf of an animal rights group and that another was prosecuted under his assumed identity, had given evidence on oath, and participated in confidential lawyer-client discussions with his co-defendants. Mr Vaz also condemned the "ghoulish and disrespectful practice of undercover officers looking to develop cover stories plundering the identities of dead infants". One witness told the committee that after her partner (whom she did not know to be a police officer) had gone missing she found the birth record of the child whose identity he had been using and went to the parents' address in an attempt to find out more about him. The parents were not there, says the committee. "But it is easy to see how officers infiltrating serious, organised criminal and terrorist gangs using the identities of real people could pose a significant risk to the living relatives of those people. "The families who have been affected by this deserve an explanation and a full and unambiguous apology from the forces concerned. We would also welcome a clear statement from the home secretary that this practice will never be followed in future." Mr Vaz added: "We are not satisfied that the current legislative framework provides adequate protection against police infiltration into ordinary peoples' lives - a far more intrusive form of surveillance than any listening device or hidden camera." The report says there was a "compelling case" for a fundamental review of the legislation governing undercover policing, including the Regulation of Investigative Powers Act 2000 (Ripa). It also says Operation Herne, the Met's investigation into the practices of one undercover unit, has cost £1.25m "with little to show in terms of results" and calls for "decisive action" to speed it up. Acpo's head of crime, Merseyside Chief Constable Jon Murphy, said undercover officers played a critical role gathering evidence and intelligence to protect communities from harm. "Used correctly, the tactic is lawful, ethical, necessary and proportionate. But it is also one of the most challenging areas of operational policing and can have considerable impact on public confidence. "For this reason Acpo has long supported increased oversight of undercover policing and would welcome a review of Ripa." A Home Office spokesman said: "Undercover police operations are a vital element of the fight against organised crime and terrorism, but it is crucial covert powers are used proportionately. "The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act already provides strong safeguards but we recognise the system can be improved."
Unacceptable sexual relationships by undercover police show an urgent review of laws regulating their activities in England and Wales is needed, MPs say.

The earliest that children tend to be diagnosed at present is at the age of two, although it is often later. The study, published in the journal Nature, showed the origins of autism are much earlier than that - in the first year of life. The findings could lead to an early test and even therapies that work while the brain is more malleable. One in every 100 people has autism, which affects behaviour and particularly social interaction. NHS: What is autism? The study looked at 148 children including those at high risk of autism because they had older siblings with the disorder. All had brain scans at six, 12 and 24 months old. The study uncovered early differences in the part of the brain responsible for high level functions like language - the cerebral cortex - in children who went on to be diagnosed with autism. Dr Heather Hazlett, one of the researchers at the University of North Carolina, told the BBC News website: "Very early in the first year of life we see surface brain area differences, that precede the symptoms that people traditionally associate with autism. "So it gives us a good target for when the brain differences might be happening for children at high risk of autism." The study opens up possibilities for big changes in the way autism is treated and diagnosed. Giving children brain scans, particularly those in high-risk families, could lead to children being diagnosed earlier. In the long run, it might be possible to do something similar for all infants if DNA testing advances enough to become a useful tool to identify children at high risk. If it can be diagnosed early, then behavioural therapies such as those that train parents in new ways of interacting with an autistic child can be introduced earlier when they should be more effective. Prof Joseph Piven, another researcher on the project, told the BBC: "Now we have the possibility that we can identify those who are most likely to go on to to get autism. "That allows us to consider intervening before the behaviours of autism appear, I think there's wide consensus that that's likely to have more impact at a time when the brain is most malleable and before the symptoms have consolidated. "So we find it very promising." The researchers fed the brain scan images into an artificial intelligence. It was able to predict which children would develop autism with 80% accuracy. Carol Povey, director of the National Autistic Society's Centre for Autism, said: "It's possible that MRI scanning of this type could be developed to help families who already have an autistic child to access earlier diagnosis for subsequent children. "This would mean those children could receive the right support as early as possible." However, she warned that autism was manifested in many different ways and "no single test is likely to be able to identify potential autism in all children". The study also pours further cold water on the debunked claims that the MMR jab causes autism. One of the reasons the link took hold was that autism tends to be diagnosed around the time that the vaccine is given to children. Follow James on Twitter. The frightened feline is back on its paws thanks to a delicate rescue by firefighters and the RSPCA. A passer-by spotted the kitten stuck in the bin in Hailes Park Close, Wolverhampton. A fireman got into the bin to hold the kitten, while a plastic collar, smothered in lubricant, was used to ease its head back through the duct. The five-week-old stray emerged unscathed and was named Dusty by the RSPCA. RSPCA inspector Steve Morrall said: "When I arrived, I saw the head of the kitten poking out from this bin - it was so unusual and I have never seen anything like it before.

"The kitten was so stuck that it became obvious I would need extra assistance from West Midlands Fire Service. They were absolutely brilliant." Mr Morrall said: "It was a very delicate operation and we knew we had to be extra careful as it could have gone seriously wrong. "We do not know how long the kitten was there for and she was understandably distressed. "A vet was also on the scene to ensure that the kitten could be sedated if required." Dusty was given a full check-up at a vets, where - apart from a low temperature - she was given a clean bill of health.

Diaz beat McGregor in their first bout in March, inflicting the 27-year-old Irishman's first defeat since 2010. Plans for a rematch at July's UFC 200 were scrapped after a dispute between McGregor and organisers. The fight was announced during the UFC 199 show on Saturday, where Michael Bisping became the first Briton to win a UFC title by beating Luke Rockhold. Featherweight champion McGregor fought Diaz at 170 pounds, 25 more than his usual limit, at UFC 196 in March. American Diaz, 31, won by submission in the second round, ending McGregor's 15-fight winning streak. Les Merton, 70, from Redruth, was found guilty of 16 counts of indecent assault against girls as young as seven and four counts of indecency with a child. Truro Crown Court heard Merton would show them pornographic videos of fairy tales and make them drink alcohol before indecently assaulting them. He would also play cards and then ask the loser to carry out a sexual act. Merton told his victims: "This is our little secret - our special game." The offences happened between 1983 and 2004. Merton was made a bard in 2004, has written several books of poetry and is the author of a book called The Official Encyclopaedia of the Cornish Pasty. Judge Christopher Clark said: "Despite this there was a dark sinister and depraved side of your personality. "You are a paedophile." The judge also passed a sexual offences order. Cornish bards are appointed by the Cornish Gorsedh, which honours people for "outstanding contributions to Cornwall and its ancient culture, history and language".

Mr Funes is facing a civil action in El Salvador in connection with funds discovered in his bank accounts, allegedly obtained illegally. He is also facing a related investigation into possible political corruption during his time in office. The former president says he is innocent and protecting himself from political persecution. The Nicaraguan authorities made the announcement in an official government publication, the Daily Gazette, saying Mr Funes' life was in danger. The central American nation also granted asylum to his partner and three of his children. Mr Funes' application for asylum was dated 1 September, coinciding with an order for the release of a list of Mr Funes' government-funded trips abroad while in office. Mr Funes, a former journalist, moved to Nicaragua three months ago, after prosecutors began their case against him. They say he has not explained the origin of more than $700,000 (£521,350) of his income. Following the announcement of his asylum, he posted a declaration of his innocence to his Twitter and Facebook accounts. He said he had spent three months working in the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, before he decided to apply for asylum because of political persecution. He said there were plans by the "extreme right" to attack him. "I have not given up fighting the judicial process or proving my innocence," he wrote. Mr Funes was president from 2009 to 2014, as a member of the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). During his time in office, he accused another former president, Francisco Flores, of corruption. Flores died in January 2016 before standing trial. The FMLN, formed from a number of rebel factions in the country's civil war, is one of the two main political parties in El Salvador. A number of neighbourhood teams have relocated into nearby local community bases with "lower running costs". The new sites, which are based in the "heart of the community", are "better value for money", the force said. The buildings up for sale include Market Street and Pilgrim Street in Newcastle, which were replaced by a new £38m complex in Forth Bank in 2014. Other sites include an office in Bentinck Road which has been empty for several years and one in Bellingham, the force said.

The bodies were found at a house in Dawson Avenue in Spalding on Friday. Police believe they are Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and her 13-year-old daughter Katie although they have not been formally identified. The two teenagers have both been remanded to appear before Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Monday. They are believed to be a boy and a girl, but officers have not confirmed this. Post-mortem examinations on the victims are due to be carried out shortly. Det Ch Insp Martin Holvey, who is leading the inquiry, has appealed for anyone who was in the Dawson Avenue area from about midday on Wednesday 13 April to the same time on Friday to contact the police. He added: "Our officers will continue to carry out inquiries in the locality and local uniformed officers will also be in the area. "If you have any concerns please don't hesitate to talk to them." Neighbours said that they last saw Ms Edwards, a dinner lady at a local primary school, on Tuesday. Posting on Facebook, Ms Edwards' partner Graham Green wrote: "My babe has gone but you will always in my heart forever and ever and ever. "The lady meant the world to me, she was my rock. Katie, so young, lots of good times in front of us been taken away r.i.p." A friend of Katie's described her as being "like a sister" and Ms Edwards as a second mother.

The £65m project will also see a 7,500 seat concert venue and a hotel built at the Oasis Leisure Centre site. Swindon Borough Council wants to transform the 36-year-old swimming pool and sports centre. The developers, Moirai Capital Investment Ltd, have said say they want to make Swindon the leading town in the South West for sport and recreation. The council said it cannot afford the refurbishment and has offered a 999 year lease on the centre in exchange. It hopes 1,700 jobs will be created, 1,000 of which will be permanent. The consultation event is being held at the Oasis on Saturday. The unsupervised inmates later hid the PCs in the ceiling of a training room. Investigators found software, pornography and articles about making drugs and explosives on the machines. The discovery came after IT staff flagged unusual levels of internet activity on a contractor's account. The PCs were found in 2015 but the case has only just been made public. A report on the incident has been published by the Ohio Inspector General's Office and forwarded to the Ohio Ethics Commission and local officials. It describes the series of events that led to the discovery of the computers in the ceiling of a training room at Marion Correctional Institution. On 3 July 2015, an email alert told IT staff that the daily internet threshold for a user account had been exceeded. But that account belonged to a contractor who was not scheduled to work on the day in question. The mysterious user had tried to access certain file-sharing sites but had been blocked by the prison network's proxy server, which denies access to certain online content. The user "then spent the next three hours straight trying to find sites that would circumvent the proxy and our policies," an email to IT employees noted. After investigating the source of the network traffic, a member of the IT staff and two other inmates who were with him found a network cable leading up into the ceiling. "When I removed the ceiling tiles I found two PCs hidden in the ceiling on two pieces of plywood," the staff member wrote in an incident report. One of the inmates who had set up the computers later described how he had used components from other PCs that were part of a computer waste recycling programme. He then plugged his machine into an internet connection device in the prison, according to the Inspector General's report. "And then... bam, I'm on the network," he told investigators. A trove of data was discovered on the machines, including records of passes being issued for inmates so they could access various parts of the prison. Forensic analysis of the hard drives also found pornography, articles about making drugs, explosives and credit cards. One IT employee was found to have breached inventory and crime scene protection policies. "We will thoroughly review the reports and take any additional steps necessary to prevent these types of things from happening again," the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said in a statement. "It is of critical importance that we provide necessary safeguards in regards to the use of technology while still providing opportunities for offenders to participate in meaningful and rehabilitative programming." The 32-year-old has scored 16 tries in 124 appearances for Quins since joining from Bedford Blues in 2009. "Karl is one of the most competitive and best people you will come across," director of rugby Conor O'Shea said.

Vickery House, 69, from West Sussex, had denied eight counts of indecent assault against six males aged 14 to 34, between 1970 and 1986. He told the Old Bailey he was ashamed of his actions but claimed they were not sexual assaults. House, of Brighton Road, Handcross, will be sentenced on Thursday. The former vicar in Berwick, East Sussex, worked under Bishop Peter Ball, who was jailed for 32 months earlier this month after he admitted molesting young men between 1977 and 1992. The pair targeted young men through a Church of England scheme called Give a Year For Christ, with three members being abused by both men. House was found guilty of five counts of indecent assault over a period of 16 years. He was cleared of three further counts. In a statement, the Diocese of Chichester said: "We are profoundly sorry for the abuse perpetrated by Mr House. Abuse is a terrible crime and a grievous breach of trust. "The conviction today of Mr House marks an important step in the ongoing process of making sure those who have used positions of power to abuse others, are held accountable. "There is no place in the Church for the abuse of others, or for failing to protect those who are vulnerable to abuse." The court was told House first assaulted a 14-year-old boy in 1970 while he was a member of a youth church group in his parish in Devon. The boy reported the incident to police in 2001. When one man complained about House's behaviour in 1984, Ball responded by writing to say how sorry he was and to assure him it would be looked into, the court was told. Ball and House were arrested in 2012 when police reopened their inquiry into Ball following a church review. During the trial House admitted harbouring repressed gay feelings despite being happily married for 47 years and having two grown-up children. Det Insp Jez Prior of Sussex Police said; "We received information from the Church of England in May 2012, concerning one of the victims who he has been found guilty of assaulting. The others came forward during the investigation. "There is no evidence they offended against an individual victim at the same time, or that House was aware of Ball's offending," he said. "If Peter Ball had not pleaded guilty in September, then they would have been tried together." The Church of England has already issued an apology and announced an investigation into the way it responded to the allegations made against Ball. The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has commissioned an "independent inquiry" to find out if the Church of England covered up sexual abuse perpetrated by Bishop Peter Ball. At least one of Ball's victims believes the pair were aware of each other's abusive criminal behaviour and colluded to satisfy their sexual desires. The question the church must answer in the case of Peter Ball is why there was delay or failure by clergy to inform the police. The church appears confident it will get answers but past church-led independent inquiries have shown that factual accuracy has not always been forthcoming. There also remains real concerns among victims and witnesses about the churches suggestion that the inquiry will be truly independent.

Therese Kearney had just put her 10-month-old baby to bed, when she heard another person in the house at about 20:30 GMT. Assuming it was her husband returning early from a Christmas party, she went to her hallway, where she found a teenage boy of around 16 years old. The boy fled, taking her car keys. However, unable to start the automatic car, he and another male ran from the house. Appealing to others to keep their doors locked, even when inside the house, Mrs Kearney said: "It's hard to believe teenagers or anyone would have the nerve to just walk into your house, with the lights and TV on, and attempt to rob you. "If it wasn't for the baby gate, I'd say he would have gone up the stairs. "Unfortunately, we had the car and house key on a hook beside the door - which I'll never do again. I saw the keys missing and went out to the car when they'd gone. "I could see the house keys sitting in the car but couldn't see the car keys. Then the police came and they actually found them still in the ignition. "I'm just relieved they didn't take it." Police also found a lighter in the car, which has been removed for forensic examination. Although shaken by the incident, the County Armagh woman, who has only recently moved to Belfast, said she feels she had a "lucky escape". "It could have been so much worse and I'm thankful that they didn't get anything, but it's an awful feeling to have someone just walk into your house like that, thinking that they can just lift your property. "For an elderly or vulnerable person, that kind of experience can be really traumatic. "Even for us, to have been left without a car, especially in the weeks before Christmas, would have caused us a huge amount of stress, financially and practically." Mrs Kearney said she was told by police that there has been a spate of burglaries in Belfast in recent days. The mother-of-one's home was not the only one in west Belfast to be targeted - two men were arrested after a separate burglary in Stockmans Court on Friday night. On Saturday night, officers on patrol in the Divis area arrested an 18-year-old man for burglary. "They said there've been a lot of break-ins, probably because houses are full of presents at this time of year, so I just want to warn others to keep their doors locked. "Even when you're in the house, keep them locked and in the door so that you can unlock it quickly in the case of a fire, and never ever put your car keys beside the door like we did. "These people don't think of the consequences for the people they're robbing - they're only thinking of themselves."

Under-20s coach Murty has been in charge for three Premiership matches following Mark Warburton's departure. And his side responded to defeats at Dundee and Inverness CT by beating St Johnstone 3-2 at Ibrox for his first Premiership win in charge. "He's been brilliant," said midfielder Hyndman, who scored the late winner again Saints on Wednesday night. "It's always a tough position as a kind of interim manager, especially with the way things have gone," on-loan Bournemouth midfielder Hyndman added. "But I credit him for coming in and establishing what he wants us to do. I think the boys got behind him quite well. "The results didn't really show what he was doing and how good he was but it was nice to give him that positive feeling on Wednesday night." Rangers are expected to appoint a new head coach next week, after Saturday's Scottish Cup quarter-final at home to Hamilton Academical. And with the Premiership gap between third-placed Rangers and second-placed Aberdeen now cut to six points, USA international Hyndman says there is still plenty to play for this term. "Of course there is," he said. "We saw the Aberdeen result the other night (1-0 defeat at Hamilton) but we're just focused on ourselves at the same time. "We need to get ourselves right and I think we took our first step against Saints. It was about the three points, it wasn't about how we got it. "After recent results we've had it was very important we got three points on the board and thankfully we did that." Fellow loan player Jon Toral, who joined Rangers from Arsenal in January, was also keen to praise Murty. "It was massive for Graeme on Wednesday," said the Spaniard. "He has put a lot of effort into the other games as well, he has really helped us and for us to give him that first league win was crucial. "At the minute we are just thinking about the cup tie on Saturday and then whatever happens happens. If a new manager has until the end of the season to work with the players and then to kick on next season it would be great for the club."
Emerson Hyndman believes interim Rangers boss Graeme Murty deserves huge credit for the job he has done.

Deakon Wilkins, 24, from Weston-super-Mare, vanished after leaving Motion nightclub in Bristol in the early hours of 14 January. His father Andrew Wilkins said family members were "trying to keep busy" but "didn't know what to do". Avon and Somerset Police said it was "increasingly concerned" and using "significant" resources in its search. Mr Wilkins said his son was last seen on CCTV leaving the nightclub at 04:30 GMT. "Just as he was leaving, he [left a voice mail] and he sounds coherent and he doesn't sound drunk at all," he said. "We're at our wits' end we don't know what to do now." His mother Marcella Wilkins said someone has "got to see him soon". "Every day is a long day - if you hear the phone go or a knock on the door you just hope," she said. Mr Wilkins is described as 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall, medium build with ginger hair and a tattoo between his neck and chest that says 'Rush'. When last seen he was wearing a red fitted jumper, black smart blazer, dark jeans and red trainers. His parents will be distributing leaflets about him in Bristol city centre later. The pair were arrested in Switzerland on Thursday at the request of the US authorities, on suspicion of accepting millions of dollars of bribes. Napout, 57, oversees football in the South America confederation and Hawit, 64, is interim president for North, Central America and Caribbean football. The pair are barred from all football-related activity. They were arrested in a dawn raid on the same Zurich hotel where several officials from world football's governing body were arrested in May. Fifa's executive committee had been meeting in the city, voting on reforms. Later on Thursday, the pair were among 16 officials charged by US authorities investigating corruption in the organisation. US attorney general Loretta Lynch said: "The betrayal of trust set forth here is outrageous. The scale of corruption alleged herein is unconscionable. "And the message from this announcement should be clear to every culpable individual who remains in the shadows, hoping to evade our investigation: you will not wait us out; you will not escape our focus." Andrew Peryer was sent a photograph two days after the death of his wife Wendy, 53, showing them in the lane outside Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. Council figures show the enforcement camera amassed fines totalling £123,000 within 11 weeks of it being installed. Portsmouth City Council said the signs complied with national regulations. Mr Peryer said: "I had to double-take when I looked at my car and saw the picture of me and my wife in there... I'd just lost her on the Saturday... [it] was like a double whammy, it rubbed salt into the wound." Mrs Peryer died from cancer on 1 October. A Freedom of Information request to Portsmouth City Council revealed the camera, installed in Cavell Drive on 22 July 2016, generated 2,062 penalty charge notices by 6 October - each for £60. The 57-year-old from Portsmouth said he returned to check the signs and maintains they were not visible from his driving position. He is awaiting the outcome of an appeal. He said: "It just seems rather underhand. Surely, if you have something that's generating such a high volume of tickets you would look to see a reason why. "It appears to be a high cash-generation spot and it seems to be preying on people who would be under stress or they've gone to visit someone or are having treatment - that seems totally unfair." Transport councillor Jim Fleming said appeals to fines were considered on compassionate grounds. He added: "All the signs, both indicating a bus-only thoroughfare and the presence of camera technology, are clear and fully comply with national regulations. "There have been 19 successful appeals at this location to date but none of these related to the signs."

Media playback is not supported on this device The pair finished behind Belgium's Lotte Kopecky and Jolien D'Hoore, with Australia third, as women raced in the event for the first time at a Worlds. "I was nervous because we'd only ridden one each before. We didn't know what to expect," Barker, a double team pursuit world champion, told BBC Sport. It was GB's fourth medal of the Worlds. Katie Archibald won omnium gold on Friday, adding to silver for Barker and bronze for Chris Latham in the scratch races. "I'm not surprised at all by the Belgians winning - they are a madison nation, so hats off to them, they were impressive," said Barker, 22. Nelson, 20, added: "I'm really happy. That was such an exciting race. I can't wait to do more of them. I think it should be in the Olympic programme." Australia's team recovered from a crash with about a third of the race to go - Amy Cure knocked into her partner Alexandra Manly - and there was a close call for Barker, too. She remonstrated angrily with Kopecky after the Belgian came close to tipping her over as she cut in sharply round a bend. The madison is a mixture of sprinting prowess and endurance - with teams typically picking a specialist in each. Points are available for the top four places in intermediate sprints - held every 10 laps - with double points on offer at the end of the race. Teams can also earn points by gaining a lap on the main field. Women race over 30km (120 laps), while the men's race is 50km (200 laps). In the men's sprint, 21-year-old Ryan Owens' impressive run at his first Worlds ended with defeat by New Zealand's Ethan Mitchell in the bronze-medal match. The gold was taken by Denis Dmitriev of Russia, who beat the Netherlands' Harrie Lavreysen. "It was a tough evening, I'm not going to lie. I've not been beaten like that before, but you have to look at it with some perspective," Owens told BBC Sport. "Even a year ago if I thought I would be getting fourth in the World Championships I would have taken that and more. "Two years ago I think I was still at school, so it wasn't even on the horizon. Yeah, I'm happy." Earlier, in the women's individual pursuit, Archibald - who won Britain's first gold of the championships - missed out on one of four spots for the final by 0.258 seconds. "I don't feel fantastic, I woke up in agony. Maybe I would have slept better if I hadn't had so many messages," she told BBC Sport. "I thought I could still give it a good go but I'm pretty disappointed and a bit embarrassed if I'm honest, I put in a lot of work. "On paper it looks like I've not moved on in two years, so I don't feel so good about that. But it's amazing to have won the omnium world title." Media playback is not supported on this device Chloe Dygert of the United States went on to win gold by beating Ashlee Ankudinoff of Australia into silver, with American Kelly Catlin taking bronze. Britain's Katy Marchant, 24, was 13th in qualifying for the women's 500m time trial, missing the cut for the final. That was won by Russia's Daria Shmeleva, with her compatriot Anastasia Voynova - the 2015 and 2016 world champion - third behind Germany's Miriam Welte. In the men's omnium, 23-year-old Latham, who won bronze in Thursday's scratch race, finished 18th out of 21. Benjamin Thomas won gold - France's first in Hong Kong - with New Zealand's Aaron Gate taking silver and Albert Torres Barcelo of Spain the bronze. Double Olympic gold medallist Joanna Rowsell Shand I was over the moon for Elinor Barker and Emily Nelson - it was a brilliant ride. Katie Archibald is clearly disappointed but she shouldn't be. The omnium win was fabulous, and she would have had to go really deep again. It was an understandable performance. There are a lot factors you can't control after winning a world title, and that affects your recovery. For Chris Latham, to already have a World Championship to his name at this stage, that is really impressive, so he shouldn't be too disappointed.
Elinor Barker and Emily Nelson won a historic madison silver for Great Britain at the World Track Cycling Championships in Hong Kong.

The Princess Royal led a flotilla of about 40 boats along the Forth and Clyde canal to the giant horse-heads, near Falkirk. Sculptor Andy Scott was on hand for the opening, along with Duke, a Clydesdale horse which was one of the models for the 30m (100ft) works. More than 1m people have visited the Kelpies since they were completed in April 2014. It has been estimated that the Kelpies, the centrepiece of the 350-hectare, £43m Helix parkland project, have boosted the local economy by £1.5m per year. They have won a number of design awards, and were named "Scotland's national treasure" by the National Lottery. A £1.8m visitor centre is due to open at the attraction later this year. The pair of sculptures are made from 600 tonnes of steel and more than 10,000 special fixings, and tower over the nearby M9 motorway. Hazard, who broke his right ankle on Sunday while training with Belgium, has been heavily linked with the Champions League winners. "We all have dreams. It could be Spain, it could be staying with Chelsea," he told the Het Laatste Nieuws newspaper. "But it's not something I'm thinking about right now. We'll see." Real beat Juventus 4-1 on Saturday to win Europe's top competition for a 12th time and claim a third Champions League crown in four years. Hazard added: "If I would ever join Real Madrid, I could end up on the bench too. I just want the best solution for myself." The 26-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Lille in June 2012, helped the Stamford Bridge side to win the Premier League title last season. When asked if he could leave Chelsea, he said: "In football you never know, but at the moment it's not something that's on my mind. "I'm a Chelsea player. I still have a contract for three years. We'll see." On the subject of being offered a new deal by Chelsea, he continued: "They haven't offered me anything yet, but it could happen. We'll see after my holidays. "The last few years everyone was talking about PSG [Paris St-Germain], this year it's about Real Madrid, next year it will be another club." Christopher Walsh Atkins, 40, from Gospel Oak, north London, and Christina Slater, 37, from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, filed inflated invoices to take advantage of tax breaks. They falsely claimed to have spent £5.7m and made significant losses on Starsuckers and Mercedes the Movie. Atkins was jailed for five years and Slater for four. Each of them was banned for 12 years from being a company official after they were convicted at an earlier hearing of conspiracy to cheat the public revenue, theft and fraud. Southwark Crown Court heard that the scam apparently allowed wealthy investors to falsely claim around £40,000 tax relief for every £20,000 invested. Government tax credits, which were set up to help promote the British film industry, allow investors to claim back 40% of the film company's losses. Walsh Atkins, who gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards, made the Starsuckers documentary in 2009. It had attempted to expose falling journalism standards by selling fake celebrity stories to tabloids. The pair had been nominated for a Bafta in 2008 for Taking Liberties, a film about the erosion of civil liberties. Judge Martin Beddoe said it did not matter that they were using the money to fund films as opposed to "a yacht, a Picasso". "You were neither making nor playing Robin Hood. What is not to be ignored is that both directly and indirectly you cheated the revenue of large sums of money entirely for your own purposes and you put at risk the loss of even greater sums. "Moreover what you actually took home is really neither here nor there." Jennie Granger, of HM Revenue and Customs, said: "This was an audacious attempt to defraud HMRC and was motivated by the pure greed of dishonest and wealthy individuals. "The majority of those involved in this fraud had no interest in the film industry, or regard for the impact of their criminality on honest taxpayers."

In a break with tradition, Mr Bercow said MPs should wear "businesslike attire" but that it was not essential for this to include ties. Parliamentary custom is for male MPs to wear jackets and ties in the chamber. Mr Bercow was speaking after Tory backbencher Peter Bone said he had spotted an MP - who was Lib Dem Tom Brake - asking a question tieless. Mr Bone - who is well known for wearing rather flamboyant ties in the Commons - said he was "not really one to talk about dress sense" but asked whether the rules had changed. "I think the general expectation is that members should dress in businesslike attire," Mr Bercow replied. "So far as the chair is concerned... it seems to me that as long as a member arrives in the House in what might be thought to be businesslike attire, the question of whether that member is wearing a tie is not absolutely front and centre stage." MPs should not be disrespectful towards their colleagues or the House of Commons, he said, but added: "Do I think it's essential that a member wears a tie? No." To laughter from MPs, Mr Bercow clarified that there was "absolutely no obligation on female members not to wear ties, if they so choose". Parliament's official rule book Erskine May only has a limited set of rules on members' dress; namely that military insignia or uniforms should not be worn in the Commons and that the custom is "for gentlemen members to wear jackets and ties". As a parliamentary factsheet notes, the Speaker has "on a number of occasions, taken exception to informal clothing, including the non-wearing of jackets and ties by men". In 2009, Labour MP Graham Allen was told by the former deputy speaker Sir Alan Haselhurst he was not "properly attired" when he tried to ask a question when not wearing a tie. Two years later, Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi apologised after a novelty tie he was wearing started playing a tune while he was making a Commons speech.
Male MPs do not need to wear ties in the House of Commons chamber, Speaker John Bercow has said.

The team's mentor was euphoric after his side defeated Chennai Super Kings to lift the IPL trophy for a second time. Lendl Simmons struck 68 off 45 balls in the final in Kolkata (Calcutta) and captain Rohit Sharma added 50 off 26 as Mumbai posted 202-5. Dwayne Smith's 57 was in vain for MS Dhoni's Chennai, who were restricted to 161-8 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians were docile in the beginning of the tournament and not many considered them as one of the frontrunners for the title. They lost five out of their first six games, showing the wide gulf between them and table-topper teams like Chennai. So what sparked this "remarkable turnaround"? The answer lies in Tendulkar's comment. "We stepped together, worked hard, executed our plans. It was about how we stayed together during tough times," said Tendulkar. The team improved, both in bowling and batting departments, with every match and never stopped believing in its abilities. They went on to win 9 out of their remaining 10 matches. As an article on the Mint website points out, the Mumbai Indians' "story this time around has been that of a transformation from virtual no-hopers to title winners". The team won its first game of the tournament against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 19 April. It was a special match for the team because they appeared like a unit and backed each other. Veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh showed some signs of his glorious past with his three wickets and Sri Lankan star Lasith Malinga found a steady partner in Mitchell McClenaghan. The pace duo, along with Singh, gave the much-needed boost to the Mumbai Indians' bowling department in the remaining matches. Writing on the First Post website, Tariq Engineer praises Malinga for shedding his "early season rustiness" and doing justice to his reputation as "one of the best limited-overs bowlers". "In Mitchell McClenaghan, he had a wicket-taking partner with the new ball. And Harbhajan Singh demonstrated he still has the guile and tactical nous to wrinkle batsmen out," Engineer sums up the story of Mumbai's "bowling comeback". Batting was another matter. Captain Sharma led from the front and showed resilience in the remaining matches. Kieron Pollard, Unmukt Chand, Hardik Pandya and Simmons played well as a unit and performed individually whenever their team needed some firepower. But it was the opening pair of Simmons and wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel that made the difference. After failing to find the right combination in the first few matches, the team management decided to go with Patel and Simmons. And it paid dividends because the opening pair ensured that Mumbai batted deep to overhaul big totals. As one analyst said, Mumbai's victory shows "that a fast start is often just that... and what matters in the IPL is how you finish".

The pair were travelling in a van which was in collision with a lorry at about 05:30 GMT between junction two, for Coventry, and junction one, for Rugby. The lorry driver was uninjured but "understandably shaken up", West Midlands Ambulance Service said. Two lanes of the southbound carriageway were shut, with traffic queuing from the M6 toll, but have now reopened. Updates on this story and more from Coventry & Warwickshire Congestion built up to junction three, for the A444 at Nuneaton, BBC Travel reported. The A350-900 plane has the largest wings in civil aviation using new lightweight composite materials - made at Broughton in north Wales.

Australia transports asylum seekers who arrive by boat to off-shore processing centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. An Amnesty International report said this was a "deliberate policy to inflict harm on refugees" and imposes conditions that "amount to torture". Nauru has previously denied claims of abuse at the refugee centre. Australia has been repeatedly criticised for its tough policy on refugees and asylum seekers. It says the policy is necessary to discourage people risking their lives at sea to reach Australian territory. In the report - titled Island of Despair - Amnesty alleged that many asylum seekers on Nauru have attempted suicide as a result of conditions in indefinite detention. "The policy that the Australian government is selling to the world as a success is one that it has acknowledged to the public is cruel," it said. "It has earned Australia unique notoriety as a country that will do everything it can to make sure refugees don't reach its shores and to punish people who dared to try." Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told the Australian Broadcasting Corp: "I reject that claim totally." "It is absolutely false. The Australian government's commitment is compassionate and it's strong." Approximately 750 people granted refugee status are living on Nauru with 10,000 locals. The Nauruan government has not responded to the Amnesty report but has previously criticised an TV report that made similar allegations. The report, by ABC's Four Corners programme, said refugee children were too afraid to attend schools on the island because of high levels of violence and sexual harassment from locals. The Nauruan government the children had been coached and the filming "stage-managed". ABC said the programme was "an important story, of obvious public interest". In August, the Guardian newspaper published more than 2,000 leaked reports from the immigration centre on Nauru. The "incident reports" revealed widespread abuse and trauma among children and women at the centre. The Australian government said many reports were "unconfirmed allegations".

Colum Marks was shot dead on 10 April 1991 during an attempted mortar bomb attack on Downpatrick police station. Officers were waiting when an IRA unit arrived to carry out the attack in St Patrick's Avenue. It is claimed Colum Marks was not armed when RUC officers opened fire. Gavin Booth, a legal representative for the Marks family, said: "We believe this is one of the shoot-to-kill operations by the state. "There was no chance ever taken to arrest Colum which could have happened. "They had the pre-planned intelligence, the knew the location, they knew Colum was going to be there." The Attorney General, John Larkin, has now written to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Barra McGrory, asking for a review of a previous decision not to prosecute any police officers arising out of his death. The PPS is now awaiting for the files to be sent to them. The charity saw lifeboats at its 30 stations across Wales launch 1,175 times in 2016, an 11% rise on the previous year. Mumbles RNLI in Swansea was the busiest station for the second year running, with 83 launches. RNLI lifeguards also had a busy year, responding to 1,271 incidents across 39 patrolled beaches. Matt Crofts, RNLI lifesaving manager, said the charity was "extremely grateful for the dedication show by its lifesavers" who spent almost 28,000 hours at sea last year. "But we really do see our rescue service as a last resort," he said.

The former Black Caps skipper, who has spent 17 months in charge, will leave after their tour of West Indies. He replaced compatriot Mark Greatbatch as coach in December 2010. "I appreciate the offer to extend my contract but after much consideration I feel it's the right time to move on and look at other opportunities," Wright, 57, said in a statement. He steered the Kiwis to the World Cup semi-finals last year, while in November they recorded their first Test victory in Australia for 26 years. However, he is reported to have had differences of opinion with former Australia coach John Buchanan, who was appointed as New Zealand's director of cricket last April. New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said: "John has been an outstanding servant for cricket in New Zealand over a long time and it is disappointing to lose someone of his calibre. "We were keen to see him continue his head-coach role, however understand and respect his decision to look for another challenge. "We are keen to fill this critical role as soon as possible but are conscious that we need to take the time to find the right candidate who can take us through to the 2015 World Cup." Wright became India's first overseas coach in 2000, spending five years in the role, and has also coached English county side Kent.
New Zealand coach John Wright will step down in August after rejecting the offer of a contract extension.
Give a brief overview of this passage.
The story was taken down on Friday following an internal investigation, with an apology to Anthony Scaramucci, an outspoken ally of the president. Mr Scaramucci said it was not true, accusing the network of attacking President Donald Trump's friends. Mr Trump responded by taunting CNN in a tweet saying: "FAKE NEWS!" "Wow, CNN had to retract big story on 'Russia,' with 3 employees forced to resign," he posted on Tuesday morning. "What about all the other phony stories they do?" Journalist Thomas Frank, investigative unit editor Eric Lictblau - a Pulitzer Prize winner - and Lex Harris, who oversaw the investigations unit, all resigned on Monday. A spokesman for the network - which earlier said the story "did not meet CNN's editorial standards" - said: "In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story's publication." The story was written based on the account of a single anonymous source. Many news outlets require at least two sources before running a story. The president could not resist another dig on Tuesday at the network, tweeting: "Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!" CNN - along with organisations like the Washington Post and New York Times - has found itself butting heads with Donald Trump and his administration since they took office. Mr Trump has often accused the organisation of "fake news" and refused to answer questions put to him by one of its journalists. But Mr Scaramucci, a Trump transition team member, appeared content with CNN's resolution of the issue. "@CNN did the right thing. Classy move. Apology accepted. Everyone makes mistakes. Moving on," he tweeted on Saturday. The media watchdog received 12 complaints about the episode, which went out on 21 April on BBC Radio 4. The BBC had already said it considered the jokes - about the Queen having sex - to be a serious breach of its editorial guidelines. Ofcom said the comments had a "mocking and demeaning tone". The watchdog added that "the potential for offence was increased by the fact that these remarks were broadcast on the Queen's 90th birthday". It found the jokes were not justified by the context. The BBC Trust ruled earlier this year that the episode was in "serious breach" of its own editorial guidelines. The broadcaster found that "there had been a failure of editorial judgement and of compliance" on its part. The BBC Trust added that the broadcast had included "personal, intrusive and derogatory comments". Don't Make Me Laugh was dropped by the BBC last month, although Radio 4 said the commissioning decision was not based on the Trust ruling on the episode featuring the Queen jokes. Baddiel tweeted at the time: "I'm hoping maybe to pitch it again once we get past the 1960s. Oh no wait a minute, it's 2016." Ofcom also ruled that an episode of Coronation Street accused of racism for a comment a character made about her hair did not break the broadcasting code. The episode, broadcast in August, saw Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley, visit Audrey's hair salon, where she remarked: "I have more roots than Kunta Kinte." Kunta Kinte was a character from the novel Roots: The Saga Of An American Family, which tells the story of a young man taken from Gambia and sold as a slave. The complaints led the show to "apologise if this dialogue has caused offence" and 473 people complained to Ofcom. The watchdog also said it had launched an investigation into BBC drama The Fall over an episode which aired in October. Ofcom received complaints over scenes of asphyxiation and hanging. A spokesman said: "We're investigating whether the depiction of suicide in this programme complied with our rules." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

What is the summary of the following document?
Farkhunda, who was beaten to death by a Kabul mob last week, had been arguing with a mullah about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine. In the course of the argument she was accused of burning the Koran and a crowd overheard and beat her to death. Hundreds of Afghans protested on Monday against the attack. The event has raised new questions about the pace of reform in Afghanistan. And there has been no attempt in the government to deny the seriousness of what happened. A spokesman for the interior ministry, Sediq Sediqi, said the father was right to say that the police could have done more to save Farkhunda. "We will have to work on our measures, on our teaching and training for our police across the country, and this incident will bring a lot of changes within us," he said. Farkhunda, 28, was beaten, hit by bats, stamped on, driven over, and her body dragged by a car before being set on fire. A policeman who witnessed the incident on Thursday told AP news agency that Farkhunda was arguing with a local mullah. Her father said she had complained about women being encouraged to waste money on the amulets peddled by the mullahs at the shrine. "Based on their lies, people decided Farkhunda was not a Muslim and beat her to death," Mohammed Nadir told AP. The policeman who saw the incident, Sayed Habid Shah, said Farkhunda had denied setting the Koran on fire. "She said I am a Muslim and Muslims do not burn the Koran," he said. "As more people gathered, the police were trying to push them away, but it got out of control," he added. An official investigator has also said there was no evidence she had burned the Koran. "Last night I went through all documents and evidence once again, but I couldn't find any evidence to say Farkhunda burnt the Holy Koran," General Mohammad Zahir told reporters at her funeral on Sunday. "Farkhunda was totally innocent." Police say they have detained 18 people over the incident, with more arrests expected. In addition, 13 policemen have been suspended for having failed to do enough to stop the attack. Shukria, a woman visiting the shrine on Monday, told the BBC that the attack was "not just an attack on Farkhunda, but on all Afghan women. They have killed us all". Demonstrators have called for justice and planted a commemorative tree. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has ordered an investigation into her death. The attack, near the Shah-Du-Shamshaira mosque and shrine, is thought to have been the first of its kind in Afghanistan. Breaking with tradition, women's rights activists carried the coffin at her funeral, a role usually performed by men. Farkhunda's family initially claimed she was mentally ill, but this has since been retracted by her father who said he was told to say so by police to reduce the chances of violent reprisals against them.
An Afghan woman who was lynched after being falsely accused of burning the Koran was killed for tackling superstitious practices, witnesses say.

St Martin's Constable Gerry Tattersall believes the costs are too high for the Environment Department to consider the work at Petit Port Bay. Environment Minister Yvonne Burford said a decision on the future of the area had yet to be made. She said the costs over the past 10 years averaged out at £77,000 a year. The bay was closed between 2001 and 2005 after a series of landslides made the area too dangerous to access and was only reopened after new concrete steps, handrails and fencing to contain rockfalls were installed. The steps were again shut in May after damage caused by heavy rainfall in the storms in the early part of this year. Deputy Burford commented on the BBC Radio Guernsey Facebook page: "This is an appropriate time to take stock. "A 10-year contact for scaling of the cliffs (to reduce rockfalls) is coming to an end next year and we need to have a discussion as to the best way forward." She said the department was due to meet with parish officials in January to look at the future of "one of our loveliest beaches". Deputy Burford said: "What is pretty certain is that to keep the steps open will always require money. At what point does the spend become unjustifiable?" Senior cashier Muhidin Mohamed Hassan was behind the scam to exchange US dollar notes with fake bills, he said. Police and security agencies were hunting for him and several other staff at the bank were being questioned, the governor added. The Central Bank of Somalia has been hit by financial scandals in the past. In 2013, a UN Monitoring Group on Somalia said it had become a "slush fund" for political leaders. Yussur Abrar, who was appointed governor in the wake of the scandal, only stayed in her job for a few weeks, alleging there were corrupt practices at the bank. The latest embarrassment comes ahead of polls in Somalia, with the president due to be elected by MPs in October. The UN-backed government is still battling al-Qaeda-affiliated militants to regain control of the whole country.

The 1970s Santos FC jersey, inked with the three-times World Cup winner's autograph, is valued at up to £6,000. It part of a collection being sold by Cwmtwrch RFC, which is raising cash for a new club house. Auctioneer Ben Rogers Jones said he was "gobsmacked" when he saw the club's collection of sports jerseys and cups. Pele - real name Edson Arantes do Nascimento - enjoyed 18 years at Santos, scoring 692 goals, and helped Brazil win the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970. The shirt will go on sale with other sporting lots, including a 1972 Llanelli rugby shirt worn by Phil Bennett, at the Cardiff salesroom of Roger Jones and Co on 12 February. Mr Jones added: "It is a very rare item because it comes from an era when football replica shirts didn't really exist. "An original Santos football shirt from the 1970s would make it sought-after by collectors anyway, but to have it signed by its most-famous player and one of the greatest football players ever makes it even more special." The auctioneer is unsure whether Pele ever played in the shirt, but Mr Jones said it was "very unusual" as the great man signed it with his first name, Edson. Last year, Rogers Jones and Co sold a 110-year-old shirt worn by former All Blacks captain Dave Gallaher for £180,000.

He is not allowed to train with his club or enter a football stadium. Yet La Liga side Barca, who already have Argentina forward Lionel Messi and Brazil playmaker Neymar, would consider signing Suarez for the right price. Liverpool bought Suarez from Ajax for £25m in January 2011. He missed the start of last season after being handed a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April 2013, but returned to score 31 Premier League goals as the Reds finished second in the table. His performances also earned him the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' player of the year awards. Suarez was found guilty of biting Chiellini on the left shoulder during Tuesday's World Cup group match, which Uruguay won 1-0 to qualify for the last 16 in Brazil. The forward denied the allegations, claiming Chiellini bumped into him. But Fifa decided the former Ajax player had bitten the Italian defender, and banned him for four months as well as nine international matches. Chiellini says the four-month ban given to Suarez is excessive. and has "no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez". Suarez has also lost his role as a worldwide ambassador of online gambling firm 888poker, which said it had "decided to terminate its relationship" with "immediate effect". It is the third time Suarez has been suspended for biting an opponent. Prior to being banned for biting Ivanovic, he was suspended for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal in 2010. Suarez has flown to Uruguay after leaving his team's hotel in Brazil. A large group of people gathered at Carrasco International Airport near Montevideo on Thursday in the hope of welcoming him back to his homeland, but he is thought to have avoided the crowds.

All those involved in trafficking migrants would be "severely punished", the government said. The bodies of 52 children, 33 women and seven men were discovered after two trucks carrying them broke down on the way to Algeria. Niger lies on a major migrant route between sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. The government announced the plan to close illegal camps in northern Niger - which it referred to as "ghettos" - in a statement broadcast on television in Niger. The migrants would be handed over to international aid agencies and the traffickers brought to justice, said the government statement. "This tragedy is the result of criminal activities led by all types of trafficking networks," it said. The statement said Prime Minister Brigi Rafini would visit the southern district of Kantche, where most of the dead are thought to have come from, to present to their families the "condolences of the nation wounded by this tragedy". Niger is observing three days of mourning, with flags outside public buildings flying at half mast. Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamed Bazoum told the BBC that about 5,000 African migrants were currently stranded in illegal camps in the northern town of Agadez alone. Having paid large sums of money to traffickers, these migrants are waiting to cross hundreds of kilometres of desert into Libya or Algeria, says the BBC's West Africa correspondent, Thomas Fessy. Many seek a better life in Europe. The head of the International Office for Migration in Niger, Abibatou Wane, welcomed the announcement by Niger's government, but warned that migrants could only be repatriated to their home countries on a voluntary basis. The bodies of 87 people, thought to be migrants, were discovered in the Sahara desert in the north of Niger on Wednesday. Another five from the same convoy had been found several days earlier by the army. Some of the dead migrants were found only about five kilometres from a well.
Niger says it will close illegal migrant camps in the north of the country after 92 people who died of thirst were found in the Sahara.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Northern Irishman had a one-under-par 71 in his second round on Friday but was five over par overall after a disastrous 78 in the first round. The four-times major winner ended four shots off the cut mark at Erin Hills, as did compatriot Graeme McDowell, who added an imoroved 73 to his opening 76. McIlroy was playing just his seventh tournament of 2017 due to a rib injury. He won the US Open with a record 16-under-par total in 2011, but missed the cut at Oakmont last year following rounds of 77 and 71. The 28-year-old needed to make a fast start on Friday to avoid another early exit, but missed from five feet for birdie on the 10th - his opening hole - and 12 feet on the 11th, before a poor chip from the back of the 12th green led to a bogey. McIlroy bounced back with a birdie from 12 feet on the 13th, but carded a hat-trick of bogeys from the first to slump to nine over par. McIlroy rallied with four birdies in his six closing holes but it was not enough to keep him in the tournament. "I shot myself in the foot yesterday and gave myself too much to do," he said afterwards. McDowell, the 2010 US Open champion, carded birdies at the first and second holes but his card was marred by three bogeys. Irishman Shane Lowry did make the cut and is tied for 55th place on one over after a second round of 74 on Friday. Paul Dunne failed to make the weekend however as he finished four over after rounds of 75 and 73. English pair Paul Casey and Tommy Fleetwood head the field on seven under, along with Americans Brian Harman and Brooks Koepka. Rickie Fowler, Jamie Lovemark and JB Holmes lie one shot behind the leading quartet. The 56-year-old was struck by a car as he walked along the Belfast Road in Dunadry at about 02:20 GMT on Saturday. Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them. The road was closed for a time but has since reopened.

The hut, at Sandilands, near Sutton on Sea, scooped an award for architectural excellence from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Owner Tim Spring said he was delighted with the award, especially as the hut had met with some opposition at the planning stage. He said he now planned to take on another project elsewhere. More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire The project involved overhauling a former public toilet block on the Lincolnshire coast - revamping the existing building, and adding a rooftop beach hut. "It had a controversial starting point, there was quite a lot of opposition [to it]," Mr Spring said. However, he said people were now warming to the hut, which features views across the North Sea, with many taking selfies outside. He said he had started inviting people in to have a look at the the view from inside the 17-sq-m structure. The hut, which lights up at dusk due to it partly being made from translucent polycarbonate, also features a storage area, located in the old toilet block. Mr Spring, who was born and bred in Lincolnshire, said he had worked with a county-based firm of architects and a local builder. He said he planned to work with them again on a new project. The hut won the Riba Small Project of the Year award in the East Midlands. It will now go forward to be considered for national honours. Two gang leaders received 10-year jail terms for heading the group supplying cocaine worth tens of thousands of pounds into the area. Six others also received jail terms at Caernarfon Crown Court. North Wales Police said it would "tirelessly pursue" such offenders. Officers mounted a covert operation in 2013, bugging the business premises of Simon Roberts, 40, from Cefn Mawr. He received a 10 years after admitting drugs conspiracy and money laundering charges along with Wayne McKenzie, 40, from Manchester, who received a similar term on Thursday. Speaking after the case, Det Con John Gage said: "The arrests were made as part of Operation Scorpion's continued fight against serious and organised crime in the region. "These sentences under this latest phase of the operation prove to our communities that North Wales Police will tirelessly pursue those who inflict this level of criminality on our streets." David Taylor, 55, from Pentre Gwyn, Wrexham, and Philip Burke, 44, from Whiston, Liverpool, who acted as couriers for the gang, were also jailed. Taylor got six years and eight months with five years and four months for Burke who had been found in possession of £45,000. Six year sentences were imposed on David Arfon Jones, 31, from Ruabon, and Jason Maddocks-Jones, 35, from Chirk. Laura Roberts, 26, from Cefn Mawr, got an 18-month suspended sentence with 300 hours of unpaid work for providing banking arrangements for her husband. She was the only defendant to have pleaded not guilty. Lyndsey Bradley, 26, from Liverpool, the partner of McKenzie, got a 14-month suspended sentence, also with 300 hours unpaid work, for a similar offence.

The 38-year-old, who scored more than 12,000 runs in one-day internationals, will feature in 12 of the county's 14 T20 Blast group games this summer. It means Somerset boast the World Twenty20's top two all-time run scorers in Jayawardene and Chris Gayle. "When a player of his experience and class becomes available, you have to snap them up," said the club's director of cricket Matt Maynard. "Mahela is a batsman of undoubted class who scores his runs all around the wicket. "He is a true professional and will have a major influence both on and off the field for us." Jayawardene, who has a Test high score of 374, has played in 55 international Twenty20 matches, scoring 1,493 runs. He said: "The club has a tradition of successful overseas players and I will be doing my best to join that illustrious list." This is lower than the 44% of women MPs Labour had in the last Parliament. The SNP have selected women in 20 out of 59 seats they are contesting - or 33%. The Lib Dems have 191 female candidates out of 630 - or 30%. The Conservatives are still compiling their list but currently have 177 women out of 621 candidates - 29%. A record 191 women were elected in 2015 - around 30% of MPs. Earlier this year, the election of Tory Trudy Harrison in Copeland took the number of women elected altogether in the past 100 years to 456 - roughly the same as the total number of male MPs in the 2015-2017 Parliament. General election: What you need to know Labour's draft election manifesto leaked MPs recommended in January that political parties should be fined if they failed to ensure at least 45% of their general election candidates were female. The Women and Equalities Committee said the fact that 30% of current MPs were women represented a "serious democratic deficit", for "no good reason" and called for a change in the law after the next general election if that figure did not increase "significantly". Both the Conservatives and Lib Dems are fielding a higher proportion of female candidates in the 2017 general election than they had as MPs in the last parliament. Just over 21% of the Conservative MPs elected in 2015-17 were women. Conservative MP Maria Miller, who chaired the Women and Equalities Committee in the last Parliament, told the World at One: "The Conservative Party has made significant progress, particularly under Theresa May and the the work she's done with the Women2Win campaign." Mrs May was a founder of the campaign, which aims to increase the representation of women in the party, along with Tory peer Baroness Jenkin. The SNP is fielding 20 women out of 59 SNP candidates in Scottish seats, or 33.4%. In 2015, the SNP had 36 male MPs and 20 women (35.7%). The SNP's Kirsty Blackman told the BBC that the surprise timing of the election had meant "less time to reach out to candidates from non-traditional backgrounds". The Lib Dems lost all their female MPs in their near-wipeout in the 2015 election. The party was reduced to eight male MPs, though Sarah Olney's victory in last year's by-election in Richmond Park later gave them back one female MP.

The Bodleian in Oxford has already been awarded £1.2m by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) to acquire the William Henry Fox Talbot collection. It describes the manuscripts, letters, diaries and photographs as "the only significant Talbot collection remaining in private hands". If the Bodleian acquires the archive it will launch an exhibition in 2017. The collection, which is being sold off, includes material from The Pencil of Nature, the first book illustrated with photographs. Richard Ovenden, deputy to Bodley's librarian, said: "The archive is an essential resource for scholars on the history of photography, the history of science and a range of other disciplines. "The Bodleian is anxious to ensure that the collection is made available to scholars and to the general public." Carole Souter, chief executive of NHMF, said: "Considered by many as the 'father of photography', the impact of William Henry Fox Talbot's pioneering work is felt daily by all of us whether we are snapping our holidays with a camera or capturing outings on our mobile phones. "This collection offers fascinating new insights into Fox Talbot's family life, particularly the wonderful contribution made by the women of his family." The library's campaign has been backed by photographers Hiroshi Sugimoto and Martin Parr. Mr Sugimoto said it would promote "appreciation of this great innovator, stimulate new art and other forms of creativity and broaden our understanding of the founder of a field of communication that has changed our world." The archive includes an image made by Talbot's wife, Constance, in 1839, which may be the earliest image made by a woman.

14 January 2016 Last updated at 16:50 GMT It will be NASA's 35th spacewalk, and should last around six hours. He will be stepping outside the ISS, and taking a walk in space, 250 miles above the earth. Here's everything you need to know: It's not just Tim Peake, the spacewalk will be a team effort. Here are the other key players: ON THE SPACEWALK INSIDE THE ISS ON EARTH Every detail of the six hour spacewalk has been carefully planned. The spacesuits are carefully checked, and even the order that different tools and equipment are attached to the suits is decided in advance. On the day of the spacewalk, Peake and Kopra will get into their suits hours before they go outside. They will breathe pure oxygen in their suits for hours before they go outside, to get rid of a gas called nitrogen in their bodies which could make them ill in space. Once they're suited up, Peake and Kopra will enter the airlock and get ready to leave the spacecraft. As EV1, Tim Kopra will go outside first, and then will give the 'GO' for Peake to follow him. The astronauts will check all of their equipment, and get used to the new environment. It feels very different outside in space, compared to inside the ISS; it's a bit like being underwater. The astronauts are always attached to the spacecraft, with a special rope to stop them floating away. Because there isn't any gravity, or any ground to stand on, astronauts hardly use their legs during the spacewalk. They use their arms instead to find their way around the outside of the space station. Peake and Kopra have several tasks to complete during the spacewalk, including: It can be tiring work, and the astronauts don't get any food, and don't even have the chance for a toilet break. The Space Station will still be orbiting the earth every 90 minutes, so it will change from daylight to darkness every 45 minutes. When it's dark, the astronauts can use lights on their spacesuits to see. All of this will take about six hours and 20 minutes, and if they're quick enough to finish early then there are extra 'bonus tasks' around the station for them to do as well.

The stables on the Shorncliffe camp in Kent housed the original war horses before they were shipped across the English Channel to the Western Front. The barracks are now being redeveloped for housing and campaigners are trying to save the stables from demolition. Roger Joyce, of the Shorncliffe Trust, said he did not want the heritage lost. "We know that countless thousands of Canadian troops, for instance, used these stables. They had veterinary stables up here and horse stables, and they trained the horses. "The Canadians want to come back and see that story. If they're demolished there's nothing to show them," he said. "They want to come back and see where their forebears came and where the horses were trained. "We're very desperate. We get one chance. Once it's gone, it's gone. The heritage has gone." The work by home-builder Taylor Wimpey is well under way, and in a statement it said its "conservation strategy" had been approved by Shepway District Council with some structures, such as a library and officers' mess, being preserved, but not the stables. The stage show of War Horse, which tells the story of Joey taken from a farm to the World War One battlefields, ended its eight-year run at the New London theatre in London on Saturday night.

Fedor Konyukhov, 64, is due to set off from Northam, Australia, in a craft designed by Cameron Balloons of Bedminster. Konyukhov will try to beat by about 48 hours the late American Steve Fossett's 2002 record of just under 15 days. Cameron's gondola design carries control, navigation systems and oxygen. The design and build will be similar to that used by Mr Fossett, but with more modern materials and technology. It will also house a sleeping bunk, water supplies, food rations, life-saving emergency equipment, first aid supplies and clothing. Mr Konyukhov said he had chosen Cameron as its staff were "the key people" to rely on. Konyukhov has received a good luck message from Sir Richard Branson who said he was "enormously excited" about the plans. Sir Richard's own attempt at a round-the-world balloon flight ended with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean in December 1998. Konyukhov said he hoped to "inspire unity" and remind young people to "stay romantic, no matter what your age". While he admits the bank may have to move some activities to bases in Dublin or Germany, he believes that most of their European banking business can continue to be done from the UK. "I don't believe that the financial centre of Europe will leave the city of London. There are all sorts of reasons why I think the UK will continue to be the financial lungs for Europe" He admitted that other European capitals had been heavily courting the bank to move operations their way. "It's very interesting that one minute no-one wants bankers in their back yard, the next they are inviting you over to a barbecue." His commitment to the UK will be welcomed by the Prime Minister, Theresa May, and the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, who will address delegates at Davos today. It comes 24 hours after HSBC said it would move 1,000 jobs to Paris and UBS said it would shift up to 1,000 jobs to Europe after the government resolved it would be leaving the European single market. Theresa May will be meeting big Wall Street bosses while here today, including Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs and Larry Fink of giant asset manager Blackrock - both card carrying members of the "global elite" she has been so scathing about. Barclays is the world's biggest underwriter of European government bonds and it seemed to many watchers that it might be difficult to continue that activity outside the European single market. Mr Staley said he believed that changes in the legal structure of the bank - by opening a German branch of its Dublin operations for example - would be enough to satisfy European and UK regulators and be in the interests of European governments. He was upbeat about the prospects for banks in general. saying that the prospect of stronger economic growth in the US under Donald Trump and an associated rise in interest rates would boost bank profitability. The bank still has an unfinished battle with US legal authorities after it balked at demands from the Department of Justice to pay what it considered unreasonable fines for its role in the subprime mortgage crisis. It is choosing instead to fight the US government in court. Mr Staley insisted that the change in administration (and a new attorney general) in the US was not part of their strategy. "We will still be facing the same prosecutors but we believe in the US justice system to deliver a fair outcome." You don't take the US government to court unless you think they are being very, very unreasonable.

Adrian Greenwood, 42, was found at his four-storey Oxford house in April, fatally stabbed in the chest and neck. Michael Danaher, 50, of Hadrians Court, Peterborough, is on trial at Oxford Crown Court and denies murder. Prosecutor Oliver Saxby QC said Mr Danaher had also targeted Jeffrey Archer and Kate Moss. Live updates from the trial His intention was "to get money" by going to the houses of wealthy people and robbing them, Mr Saxby said. A spreadsheet was found on the defendant's computer with the names of 14 "people of means" who he intended to steal from or kidnap, the court was told. Other people on the list included venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft, TV pawnbroker Adam Hatfield, property developer Howard Grossman, and financial investor Guy Hands. Mr Saxby said the list was "considered in its own way, and efficient, and really quite brutal" and also had details of valuables, weapons and family members of his planned victims. The weapon listed in many cases was "stun gun", and one was found in Mr Danaher's flat by police. He told the jury: "Note its tone. It exudes a certain sense of resentment, even anger. "It is almost as if these are people who, because of their wealth, and his lack of it, deserve to be subjected to what he has planned." Mr Saxby said Mr Greenwood's name was on the list next to a note that read: "Modus: Any!! Expected take: Rare books." He added that Mr Greenwood had been beaten, repeatedly stabbed and stamped on. Mr Saxby said: "It takes a certain sort of person to have done what the defendant did to Adrian Greenwood. "Cool, calculated, controlled, before, during and after. And underpinning it all? Greed. It was money he was after." Mr Danaher admits killing Mr Greenwood but says it was in self-defence. The prosecutor listed three criminal convictions the victim had for assault and battery and acknowledged that he "had a temper, which from time to time he lost". But he added that he had "no track record of using or threatening serious violence". Other items Mr Greenwood had for sale included signed wartime photographs of Winston Churchill, a first illustrated edition of Frankenstein, an oil painting by George Bernard Shaw, and a 16th Century Bible. Mr Saxby said the defendant, who was out of work and experiencing money problems, had no previous criminal convictions. But he said: "As of late 2015, alone in his flat, on the internet, often late at night, he was plotting. "Plotting to get money by committing crimes, really serious crimes with victims." When police examined Mr Danaher's phone and laptop they found e-books with titles like Hacking for Profit, Opening Locks Without Keys, and The Technique of Silent Killing, Mr Saxby said. Mr Saxby said Mr Danaher tried to enter Adrian Beecroft's house on 22 March, arriving with a parcel he said was for the venture capitalist's daughter. The jury was told Mr Beecroft's wife realised something was wrong and screamed for help. On that occasion Mr Danaher fled the scene, Mr Saxby added. The trial is expected to last three weeks.

The $7.8bn (£4.9bn) deal does not address "significant damages" to the environment after the Gulf of Mexico spill, the Department of Justice said. The company has not admitted liability and still faces other legal claims. The April 2010 explosion killed 11 workers and leaked 4m barrels of oil. "While we are pleased that BP may be stepping up to address harms to individual plaintiffs, this by no means fully addresses its responsibility for the harms it has caused," the Department of Justice said. State governments in the area affected and drilling firms are amongst others expected to continue legal action against BP. The deal agreed on Friday will benefit some 100,000 fishermen, local residents and clean-up workers whose livelihoods or health suffered. BP says it expects the money to come from a $20bn (£12.6bn) compensation fund it had previously set aside. By Robert PestonBusiness editor, BBC News BP's Deepwater Horizon settlement "From the beginning, BP stepped up to meet our obligations to the communities in the Gulf Coast region, and we've worked hard to deliver on that commitment for nearly two years," BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley saidin a statement. "The proposed settlement represents significant progress toward resolving issues from the Deepwater Horizon accident and contributing further to economic and environmental restoration efforts along the Gulf Coast." Lawyers for the plaintiffs' group, the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee, said the settlement "does the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people". A trial in the case, due to begin on Monday, will now be delayed - for a second time - as a result of the deal,Judge Carl Barbier saidon Friday. The settlement will "likely result in a realignment of the parties," he said. The trial is now being adjourned "in order to allow the parties to reassess their respective positions," Judge Barbier said. Judge Barbier is an expert in maritime law and has consolidated hundreds of spill-related lawsuits into a single case. The trial will probably still go ahead in order to apportion blame for the spill among BP and its fellow defendants. Other companies involved include Transocean, who owned the rig, and Halliburton. All the companies are in dispute with each other over their liability to each other. BP has so far paid out $7.5bn in clean-up costs and compensation. US President Barack Obama called the spill "the worst environmental disaster the nation has ever faced". It took 85 days to permanently stop the release of crude oil. Developers want to build more than 400 homes alongside workshops and shops in the Phoenix Quarter of Lewes. Protest group Lewes Phoenix Rising said the current plans would wipe away the good aspects of the current area and devised an alternative scheme. However, the South Downs National Park Authority agreed planning permission at a meeting earlier. Andy Smith, leader of Lewes District Council, said the approval was "great news for Lewes" and would provide the town with homes, flood defences and jobs. He said: "We hope that we can now work with all of those who care about this site to build a truly exceptional development for the people and businesses of Lewes." He said the scheme would provide 416 new homes, with 40% of them dubbed affordable.
The US government says it will continue its case against BP over the Deepwater Horizon oil rig spill despite a deal the company reached on Friday with the largest group of private claimants. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Plans for a large housing development to be built in the South Downs National Park have been approved.

The 250 vehicles including lorries, cars and motorcycles, which earlier set off from Westminster, had hoped to board a ferry at 14:00 BST. Kent Police said it had been notified by the French authorities the convoy had been refused entry to France. "No agency within the United Kingdom has any grounds to challenge this decision," it said in a statement. The convoy, organised by a number of campaign groups including the People's Assembly and Stop the War Coalition, made the decision to set off from outside the Houses of Parliament at 09:00 BST, despite a public order injunction being taken out by the authorities in Calais. A spokesman for the People's Assembly said the convoy was separated from the rest of ferry traffic when it arrived in Dover. "A few cars have made it to France but they are being stopped there apparently," said Steve Sweeney. Mr Sweeney said organisers had been told the ban was to do with heightened security in France. He said they had been organising the convoy for six months and accused Kent Police of colluding with their French counterparts to prevent them from crossing. "Kent Police were taking down our number plates when we stopped on the way here," he said. "We're now holding a rally." The People's Assembly said a 38-tonne truck loaded with aid was allowed on to a EuroTunnel shuttle. A Kent Police spokesman said however, the refusal of entry to France was a matter for the French authorities. "Kent Police is working with partner agencies in planning a policing response to minimise any disruption to the community, businesses and the public," he said. The Port of Dover said the protesters later began heading back to their vehicles and returning to London after the stand-off with the French border authorities. The People's Assembly tweeted: "Convoy now reassembling and heading for the French Embassy in London for mass protest".

"The shame of the two big parties' manifestos is that neither sets out an honest set of choices," the deputy director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies said. Does that mean there is no point in reading them? Not quite. The importance of the manifestos is that, economically, they propose quite different approaches to the next five years. The Conservatives say they will maintain tight controls on public spending and that any new Tory government will seek to "balance the books" by 2025 - meaning the government would spend as much as it receives in tax receipts. The party has been deliberately vague on costings ("extremely light" as the IFS describes it), not wanting to tie the hands of any new prime minister or chancellor. The voters are being asked to take the manifesto on trust. In sharp contrast, Labour proposes making the economy operate more "fairly" with higher levels of tax on the wealthy, higher levels of public spending and more borrowing to pay for capital investment projects. Its costings are detailed and open to interpretation. The IFS lays out major challenges for both parties. It says the Conservative proposals would mean cuts in benefit payments and lower spending per pupil in education, for example. Is that deliverable in an era of generally falling incomes for the "just about managing" and a need to improve schools? When it comes to the NHS, the IFS says that the period after the election would be "incredibly challenging". The institute also points out that continuing the 1% public sector pay cap would take pay levels in the public sector to their lowest level relative to the private sector in "recent decades". And suggests that after 8 June - if they win - the Tories could announce spending plans less stringent than envisaged, as the David Cameron-led government did in 2015. The new government could even raise some additional taxes. When it comes to Labour, the IFS says that plans to raise £49bn in extra taxes from those earning over £80,000 and higher levels of business taxes are an "overestimate" and would make people "worse off". It says that even on optimistic forecasts, the tax increases would raise £40bn a year in the short term and less in the long term. That would be a £9bn annual shortfall. The taxes are also not "victim-free", as the IFS describes it. "When businesses pay tax, they are handing over money that would otherwise have ended up with people, and not only rich ones," Mr Emmerson said. "Millions with pension funds are effectively shareholders [in businesses]." The IFS accepts that Labour does not propose to raise spending to "unusually high" levels compared to other advanced Western economies such as Canada. And that increased investment spending could have "positive long-term economic returns". So why does the IFS say that the manifestos are less than honest? Firstly, because it is not convinced that the Conservatives can deliver the cuts the manifesto suggests and maintain public services. Nor is it convinced that Labour will be able to raise the amount of revenue it expects and that the extra taxes would not damage the broader economy. But there are also two more substantial challenges. Labour has little to say on tackling the increasing costs of our ageing population, the IFS says. And the Tories have little to say on the possible economic impact of a rapid cut in immigration, which the government's official economic watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, suggests could reduce tax receipts by £6bn a year. The two parties are laying out two very different approaches to the economy. At that high level, the manifestos are important. Even if, when it comes to the detail, voters might need to reach for a pretty hefty pinch of salt.

The court in Hamburg ruled that Jan Boehmermann's poem was satire, but said the sexual references were unacceptable. However the comments on President Erdogan's treatment of freedom of speech were allowed, it said. Mr Boehmermann's lawyer said the ruling went against "artistic freedom". "We believe that the court's decision in its concrete form is wrong, given that it deems those parts dealing with Erdogan's approach to freedom of expression to be acceptable," said Christian Schertz. Mr Boehmermann himself responded by tweeting a link to the Beastie Boys song "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)". The Turkish president had filed a criminal complaint against the satirist in a case that prompted a debate in Germany over freedom of speech. Mr Boehmermann, considered Germany's most incisive satirist, had read the obscene poem on his Neo Magazin Royale programme on 31 March, making clear that it included material that broke German laws on free speech. Section 103 of the criminal code bans insulting representatives or organs belonging to foreign states. In particular, the poem made references to sex with goats and sheep, as well as repression of Turkish minorities. Last week it was read out in full in the German parliament by an MP during a debate over proposals to abolish the law against insulting foreign leaders. To some the poem was puerile, vulgar and irresponsible at a time when Europe needs Turkish help in the refugee crisis. To others it was an ingenious work of subversive art, which highlighted the importance of freedom of speech - a sketch in which even President Erdogan is now playing his part. Either way, Jan Boehmermann always goes a step further than polite society generally allows. Clever, funny and complicated, he has singlehandedly revolutionised German state broadcasting. During the height of tensions between Athens and Berlin over the Greek debt crisis, Boehmermann portrayed Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis as a vengeful motorbike-riding sex bomb. But it was his fellow Germans, and the rest of the media establishment, that the comedian was mocking. A jaunty 1930's-style Springtime for Hitler remake wittily highlighted the similarities between the views of the anti-migrant party AfD and Nazi-era politics. Even refugee helpers have been fair game, as Boehmermann mercilessly portrayed modern, multi-cultural Germans as a self-righteous unstoppable horde of muesli-eating, Birkenstock-wearing sexual perverts. But for Boehmermann's many fans the fear is now that taking on Turkey's president has been a step too far.
A German court has banned a German comic from repeating parts of an obscene poem he wrote about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The 29-year-old Nigerian has played 372 times for Chelsea since joining in 2006 but has not featured this season. He said it had been "an honour" to play for the Stamford Bridge club but it was time to "seek a new challenge". Mikel has won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge. "I haven't featured as much this season as I would have liked and I still have many years in the game ahead of me," Mikel wrote on Twitter in a message to Chelsea fans. "With this in mind, I feel now is the time to seek a new challenge. "I'm delighted to be joining Tianjin TEDA FC at a time that the Chinese Super League is really taking off, and I look forward to helping Tianjin TEDA FC continue to grow. "To play in the Premier League is every professional player's ambition.

Work on the Regatta Quay development started in 2007 but its developer went into administration. The 20-storey building had been called an eyesore by local residents. John Howard, from new owners Marina Developments Limited, said: "The completion of this project will breathe new life into the area." Builders should be on site within the end of year, but the project will take "two or three years" to complete, the company said. Work on the building will be completed "largely in accordance with the original planning consent", administrators Baker Tilly said. It will include about 150 flats and will have commercial units on the ground floor. Nigel Miller, from Baker Tilly, said: "There are still a few loose ends to tie up before the sale is able to complete." David Ellesmere, leader of the Labour-run Ipswich Borough Council, said: "This is fantastic news for the town and hopefully will kick start the regeneration of the rest of the waterfront. "It will also be good news for creating and securing local construction jobs." Ipswich MP Ben Gummer, a Conservative, said completion of the building was "vital" for the town's regeneration. "The building at present is not only an eyesore but is a waste of valuable space," he said. The government has said Birmingham must be among six English cities with a Clean Air Zone by 2020. The council proposes licensed vehicles must meet EU standards on emissions by December to have licenses renewed. The authority estimates 1,428 private hire cars and 530 hackney carriages would fail the test. Drivers say their livelihoods are being threatened. The city's fleet is 4,200 private hire cars and 1,233 hackney carriages. The penalty for not meeting standards is not being allowed in the city or being charged to enter. Read more Birmingham and Black Country stories Drivers say they can either pay £8,000 to convert cars to use liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or buy electric taxis costing around £40,000. Raja Amin, from the RMT union, said the plans "jeopardised drivers' livelihoods" and drivers were being made "scapegoats" as there were no proposals to police emissions from other types of vehicle. If it does not achieve the Clean Air Zone in time, the council estimates it could face a £60m fine. All drivers wanting to renew licences by December 2017 will have to meet the Euro 4 standard for petrol driven cars or Euro 5 for diesel. From December 2018, the council proposes to strengthen its policy so hackney carriages meet at least a so-called Euro 6 standard or private hire drivers use Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles. The Department for Transport has allocated £500,000 to cover conversion costs for 63 hackney carriages. Drivers can also apply for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a new taxi. The council said: "The city has a very old fleet of hackney carriages and private hire vehicles so we need to look at how we can solve this issue to the benefit of all. "We will do everything we can to shape the market for cleaner vehicles and assist drivers." The other cities required to have a clean air zone are London, Leeds, Nottingham, Derby and Southampton.

Paul Eastment and Chris Missen, from Porthcawl in Bridgend county, along with Poole-based crewman Martin Blaker-Rowe, rescued Vanessa Glover when water swept her from her car. The crew will be presented with the Pride of Britain Emergency Services Award in London on Monday. They were nominated by Mrs Glover. She told the ITV programme Daybreak: "They know how proud of them I am and how very grateful I am to be alive. "I'm so grateful for this showcasing and nomination. They are volunteers and... risked their own lives." The rescue took place in the early hours of 23 December last year when the River Taw had reached 3.5 metres (11ft) above its normal range. Mrs Glover, a mother of one, had been swept from her car in Umberleigh after it was forced off a road by flood water, leaving her husband and seven-year-old son holding onto the car roof. She was left clinging to a branch. At 01:51 GMT the RNLI's flood rescue team launched its boat with Mr Missen at the helm. Boat team leader Mr Eastment and crew member Mr Blaker-Rowe guided Mr Missen along the safest route to reach Mrs Glover with only head torches for light. They reached her and at 01:57 GMT she was in the rescue boat, very cold and receiving treatment. The men previously won the RNLI bronze medal for gallantry - one of the institution's highest accolades - for the rescue. The company's shares closed down more than 6% on Wall Street on fears that a planned sale to Verizon was in doubt. Politicians and regulators called for action after Yahoo disclosed on Wednesday that more than one billion user accounts may have been breached. That followed Yahoo's disclosure in September of a huge hacking in 2014. The 2013 breach, uncovered while cyber security experts and the police were investigating the 2014 attack that hit 500,000 accounts, is the largest data security hack in history. According to reports in the US, telecommunications giant Verizon, which agreed to buy Yahoo's core internet business in July for $4.8bn, is now trying to persuade Yahoo to amend the terms of the acquisition agreement to reflect the economic damage from the two hacks. If Yahoo users and advertisers start deserting the company, that will reduce its value to Verizon. Asked about the status of the deal, a Yahoo spokesperson said: "We are confident in Yahoo's value and we continue to work towards integration with Verizon." Verizon had already said in October it was reviewing the deal after September's breach disclosure. The company said on Wednesday that it would "review the impact of this new development before reaching any final conclusions" about whether to proceed. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Mark Warner said he was looking into Yahoo's cyber security practices. "This most-recent revelation warrants a separate follow-up and I plan to press the company on why its cyber defences have been so weak as to have compromised over a billion users," he said in a statement. Mr Warner, who will become the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee next year, described the hacks as "deeply troubling". 'One billion' affected by Yahoo hack Yahoo knew of 'state-backed' hack in 2014 Verizon: Yahoo data breach may hit deal New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged anyone with a Yahoo account to change their passwords and security questions, and said he is examining the breach's circumstances and the company's disclosures to the legal authorities. Germany's cyber security authority, the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), advised German consumers to consider switching to safer alternatives for email, and criticised Yahoo for failing to adopt modern encryption techniques to protect users' personal data. "Considering the repeated cases of data theft, users should look more closely at which services they want to use in the future and security should play a part in that decision," BSI President Arne Schoenbohm said in a statement. The latest breach drew widespread criticism from security experts, several advising consumers to close their Yahoo accounts. "Yahoo has fallen down on security in so many ways I have to recommend that if you have an active Yahoo email account, either direct with Yahoo of via a partner like AT&T, get rid of it," said Stu Sjouwerman, chief executive of cyber security firm KnowBe4 A selection of the best photos from across Africa and of Africans elsewhere in the world this week.

A report on state television said on Thursday that Mr Kim, 31, was in an "uncomfortable physical condition" but gave no details. Earlier, the leader was absent from a session of the Supreme People's Assembly - North Korea's legislature. Mr Kim has not been seen in public for more than three weeks. His non-appearance at the SPA - to which he was elected in March with 100% of the vote - on Thursday prompted renewed speculation about the leader's whereabouts. The report on state-run Central Television later in the day showed footage of the leader limping during one of his regular inspection tours back in July. Kim made his last public appearance on 3 September, when he attended a concert given by the Moranbong Band - an all-girl musical troupe reputedly hand-picked by the leader himself. State newspaper Rodong Sinmun showed Mr Kim sitting in comfortable front-row seats, alongside his wife Ri Sol-ju. Previous appearances, the usual diet of factory and military unit inspections, show a clearly overweight Mr Kim walking with a limp and wearing generously cut trousers, possibly to disguise his walking difficulties. South Korean newspaper Joongang Daily supports the leg injury theory, and suggests that his disappearance may be due to an injury picked up during some sort of sporting activity. It is known that Mr Kim is a lover of horse riding and is keen on watching basketball and football. An anonymous source - said to be "familiar with North Korea affairs" - quoted by the South Korean news agency Yonhap, said he understood Mr Kim was "suffering from gout, along with hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure". The agency said some people attribute the deterioration in Mr Kim's health to frequent drinking and overeating. But its source said gout runs in Mr Kim's family, with his grandfather Kim II-sung, his father Kim Jong-il and his elder brother Kim Jong-nam all suffering from the disease. Chosun Ilbo suggests that he simply might be on holiday, but notes that army politburo head Hwang Pyong-so, Mr Kim's constant shadow on inspection visits, has also disappeared from view. It is not the first time that the North Korean leader has failed to appear in public for an extended period. In March 2012, he spent 21 days out of the public eye; in June of the same year it was 24 days; and in January 2013 it was 18 days. Despite the lack of recent footage of Kim Jong-un, he has not entirely disappeared from televisions tuned to Central Television. Viewers get a daily dose of archive footage of months-old inspection visits along with an enthusiastic voice-over, usually in the hour leading up to the main evening news.

President Buhari ordered security agencies to identify those involved in copyright piracy and bring them to justice. Nollywood is not the only industry affected by the problem. Producers in Kannywood - the Hausa language film industry based in the northern city of Kano - are also complaining and had asked the president to intervene. Mr Buhari said he would do everything possible to protect the entertainment industry. "They [film producers] have built an industry with their own sweat", he said. "It is therefore incumbent on us to give them the necessary support." Nigeria's film industry analysts believe that Nollywood is churning out up to 50 films a week. However, most of these movies are sold straight to DVD and filmmakers struggle to make a profit. Bedene, 26, played three Davis Cup ties for Slovenia before becoming a British citizen in March 2015. A rule preventing players representing a second nation was later introduced by the International Tennis Federation. "I will have to assess my situation now before I decide on what steps to take next," said Bedene, who has lived in the United Kingdom since 2008. Currently ranked 57th in the world, he gained UK citizenship in March and became the British number two behind Andy Murray. He appealed against the ITF's decision on the grounds his passport application was lodged before the rule changed at the start of 2015. Lawn Tennis Association chief executive Michael Downey said the British governing body was "very disappointed" by the outcome. In November, Britain won the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936. They beat Japan in the opening round earlier this month to reach the quarter-finals of this year's competition and face a trip to Serbia in July. BBC Radio 5 live tennis correspondent Russell Fuller: The decision has not come as a surprise as the new rule retains a lot of support within national governing bodies. If an exception had been made for Bedene, the principle may have been fatally undermined. Daria Gavrilova has been allowed to play Fed Cup for her new nation Australia, but only because she had never represented Russia. Bedene, frustrated with the handling of his case and the length of time it has taken, could still seek a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Playing his final tournament on a medical exemption after foot surgery last year, he needs to win at least £23,905 - equivalent to a top-30 finish - to retain his place on the tour. Branden Grace leads on six under. The 28-year-old South African hit seven birdies and one bogey in a round of 66, one shot ahead of Americans Will MacKenzie, John Huh, Stewart Cink and Australia's Steven Alker. Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell is part of a 13-way tie for sixth on four under in San Antonio. England's Luke Donald was in contention on level par at the turn but hit two bogeys and one double bogey on the back nine to fall one shot behind Poulter on four over. Poulter, beginning his round on the 10th hole, started with back-to-back bogeys, also hitting one at the 14th to reach the turn at three over. He made a further bogey on the fourth before recording his only birdie of the round on the eighth to ensure an even-par 36 on the closing nine. Should he fail to retain his tour card, the 2008 Open runner-up would need invitations to compete on the PGA Tour.

Aaron Burns revived Linfield's hopes with a firm header from a Ross Gaynor corner before the interval. The visitors equalised six minutes after the break through Mark Haughey and the Blues defender scored with another header to clinch the victory. Coleraine were unhappy about the winning goal as it came from a free-kick for a foul by Howard Beverland which they felt should not have been awarded. It was an important comeback for David Healy's men as defeat would have left them 10 points behind leaders and defending champions Crusaders. Linfield manager David Healy: "We were disappointing in the first half but the goal from Aaron Burns gave us something to hang on to at half-time. "I asked the players to show guts. People outside Linfield have been questioning this team, but they delivered today. "Cliftonville are not going to give it up and we aren't either." Coleraine manager Oran Kearney: "When you go 2-0 up at home you expect to have enough to see the game through. "The manner in which we conceded the goals was disappointing. We know Linfield are dangerous from set pieces." Zebre released a tweet confirming the takeover and future participation in the Pro12 and European Challenge Cup. An FIR spokesperson told BBC Wales that Italy will continue to have two teams in the Pro12, honouring an agreement with the Celtic Rugby Board. The new side will be called Zebre Rugby Club and will still be based in Parma. This replaces the previous incarnation Zebre Rugby Srl and will be under new management, playing along with Treviso as the two Italian representatives in the league. Doubts emerged about Zebre's future after players were reportedly not paid for two months and there are still concerns about whether they will play beyond the 2017-18 season. A fresh company called Zebre Rugby Club Company has been created and a new chief executive and directors have been appointed. Meetings will take place this week to determine the rebranding of the new side from the old organisation, with matters such as contracts and insurance to be discussed with players and staff. The uncertainty comes with an official announcement this week expected by Celtic Rugby, the organisation responsible for the Pro12, on the expansion of the league with two South African sides. The Southern Kings and Cheetahs are set to join sides from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Italy for the 2017-18 season to expand the league to 14 sides, with a two conference system being suggested. There have been plans mooted to expand the league even further, with a North American franchise being explored.

Cook, 31, was spoken to by the England and Wales Cricket Board after he wore a helmet that contravened new rules in last week's win over Gloucestershire. His helmet in that match, in which Cook made 105, had an adjustable grille and a large gap between peak and grille. But, after making the switch, Cook was caught in the slips off Steve Magoffin. The Essex opener has been made available for the county's first four Championship matches before he is due to captain England in the first Test of the summer, against Sri Lanka at Headingley on 19 May. The new helmet regulations were brought in following facial injuries to both Stuart Broad and Craig Kieswetter. And it's important to remember that behind all the statistics about hundreds of thousands of grades are personal stories of hopes and fears. But it's also an annual ritual to use A-level results as a way of taking stock of the education system. This year it will be hard to throw accusations of "grade inflation" or slipping standards because the results are almost exactly the same as last year. "Stability", this year's watchword from exam board chiefs, is not exactly going to set pulses racing. But it will be what exam regulators intended, promoting reassurance and continuity rather than volatility and turbulence for the "gold standard" qualification. Head teachers, including those in independent schools, have often been vociferous in their doubts about the reliability of marking and the exam system. And they have also complained about how an exam system which now promotes stability in results is reconciled with pressures on schools to keep getting higher grades, or else be accused of "coasting". But this year could also be something of a calm before the storm. The results announced this week are for exams taken under the old system of A-levels. The plans for tougher, non-modular exams and the decoupling of A and AS-levels, announced by former education secretary Michael Gove, have still to be introduced. In many ways these results have been the closing act of the old exam system. In a couple of years, when the redesigned A-levels are being taken for the first time, outcomes could be less predictable. And when results seem so similar it's easy to miss the big underlying patterns. The number of school leavers heading to university continues to rise relentlessly. Regardless of government, economic cycles, fees and exam results, year after year, decade after decade, more young people sign up for undergraduate courses. There will be more people starting university this autumn than were getting five good GCSEs a couple of decades ago. It's a major social change. In 1980, about 68,000 people were getting undergraduate degrees, by 2000 that had risen to 243,000. On Thursday morning, even before clearing had begun and second choices had been weighed up, there were 409,000 places confirmed. The removal of a limit on university numbers introduced this year is budgeted on the assumption that there is not much extra demand left in the system, perhaps another 30,000 or so. But this has been a remarkably resilient, aspirational, upward curve. It's also worth noting that despite the irresistible rise in young full-time students, the number of part-time and mature students has never really recovered from the hike in tuition fees, despite repeated warnings about the skills gap and the need for re-training. The gender divide is another pattern that seems to deepen. Last year saw the widest gap, with 58,000 more women getting university places than men. And the first admissions figures from this year show an even wider gap than at the same stage last year. The headline UK figure for top A* and A grades fell marginally this year to 25.9%. But in the south east of England the proportion was 38.8% and in London it was 36.2%. In Wales, the figure is 23.1% and in Northern Ireland 29.3%. This year's A-level figures show maths, English and biology to be the most popular subjects, with maths having steadily increased in recent years. But there is an even longer-term trend in the decline of French. When the gender divide and national differences overlap, it means that in Wales there were only 128 boys taking A-level French this year. The changes about to be introduced for A-levels in England will also accelerate devolution within the exam system. England, Wales and Northern Ireland might continue to call their exams A-levels, but they are going to be increasingly different. How long will the grades be published together as though they were equivalents? But for the students and their families getting results there will be more immediate concerns with celebrations and commiserations.

The courtyard becomes the centre of London Fashion Week - a far cry from the building's sober past as home to the Inland Revenue. This year sees the event's 61st year, during which more than 250 designers will showcase their collections for autumn and winter to a global audience. For those outside the fashion industry, it can be difficult to appreciate why this week is so important. Fashion has long been criticised as frivolous and superficial, dictating trends that are swiftly cast aside. Indeed, watching the crowds teetering on vertiginous heels, heads topped with designer sunglasses, arms toting handbags and hands clutching smartphones, it is easy to understand why. Yet while it may look like a big party to outsiders, the week is a crucial one for the industry. "It is incredibly important because it's the showcase of the very best of British businesses to an international audience," says Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council. "The British fashion industry is exceeding the current economic growth we are seeing in the UK - because we are exporting all over the world." The fashion sector plays a significant role in the UK economy - it generates £26bn for the UK each year, rakes in £10.7bn from consumers and supports almost 800,000 jobs. London Fashion Week is a crucial element in this, as orders of approximately £100m are placed during the five days - and the shows are watched online by audiences in 190 countries worldwide. The spectacular clothes worn by models on the catwalk can appear impractical, unaffordable and sometimes ridiculous. So will they really affect what we wear, come September? Traditionally, the idea has been that the clothes and styles adopted by the richest in society eventually filter through and influence the rest of us, the so-called "trickle-down" theory - first put forward by the American economist and sociologist, Thorstein Veblen, in 1898. It is true that since the social upheavals of the 1960s, an inverse process has evolved, whereby designers have been increasingly inspired by the clothes people wear on the streets. Yet although the trickle-down process might not be as clear-cut as it once was - when designers dictated the trends and people slavishly followed - it is still in evidence today. "The High Street is very much influenced by what they see at London Fashion Week," says Carla Buzasi, global chief content officer at the trend forecasters WGSN. "We have a global network of experts, their job is to have their eyes and ears out - all the apparel brands in the FTSE 500 are WGSN subscribers." "Although you may not wear the exact look that you see coming down the runway on a model, you will pick up little things. There's always something reflected in the High Street that comes through from London Fashion Week," says fashion journalist Hilary Alexander. "A few seasons ago, Simone Rocha showed these pearl collars on her dresses which would have sold for hundreds of pounds, but within weeks up and down the High Street pearl collars and trims appeared," she says. "We're looking for trends that our High Street partners might be able to translate," says Carla Buzasi. "What you see on the catwalks is about press and the designer brand. "For example, Mary Katrantzou does these wild prints on structured dresses. The prints influence the High Street but you'd be less likely to see that kind of structure carry through." The internet has acted as a catalyst to speed up this process and democratise fashion even further. Collections that were once viewed only by the ticketed few appear online later the same day and on social media, instantaneously. As everyone can now see what is being shown, this has meant that the procedure of translating catwalk designs to the High Street has vastly accelerated. "In years gone by it could take six months to a year for runway trends to hit the High Street. Now it can be as short as three weeks," explains Carla Buzasi. "London Fashion Week is really important because it offers such a wealth of inspiration," says Zeba Lowe, head of fashion at the online retailer Asos. "A couple of seasons ago we saw Marcus Almeida doing ripped denim and the idea of those raw hems influenced how we might have approached denim," she adds. "We might see an amazing catwalk show and a colour that could work for the season, or a specific theme might come through that we take inspiration from," says H&M's Claire Wakeman. Many designers are keen for their ideas to be popularised. Anthony Cuthbertson, creative director at Australian fashion label sass & bide, says he is flattered when he sees his designs re-interpreted on the High Street. "It's great that we can filtrate the looks down. It's important that someone who's buying a dress for $8,000 can still buy the same dress in a High Street store for $120." Designer Jasper Conran agrees: "If it's a good idea, why wouldn't you make 2,000 of them? I don't get up in the morning and think about making clothes for only two people. I'm interested in actually having an influence." In recent years designers have been collaborating with High Street retailers to create affordable versions of their own designs. Conran, who was one of the first to do so, says: "That's why I did it myself. You might as well get in there first and be really good at it, rather than second rate." High Street retailers say they benefit, too. Claire Wakeman at H&M says that its designer collaborations "are hugely successful" for the retailer. "We started in 2004 with Karl Lagerfeld and last year, Alexander Wang. It shows our customers that they can have access to designer clothes at an accessible price," she says. Although it may be preferable to imagine that we are the agents of our own sartorial lives, it is undeniable that how we choose to dress ourselves each morning is the result of countless hours of trend forecasters, industry analysis and designer innovation that has trickled down from the catwalk to the High Street. As Hilary Alexander says: "When we get up in the morning and decide what to wear, we're making a conscious fashion decision, whether we realise it or not."
Twice a year, London's grand neoclassical Somerset House, welcomes a tumult of fashion designers and their models dressed in their finest gladrags.

In the summer of 2011, few could predict that today Justin Trudeau would be hailed as a symbol of hope for progressives facing anti-globalization forces. In fact, few could predict that Mr Trudeau would have any role representing Canada on the national stage, period. Back then, things could not possibly look any rosier for the Conservative Party of Canada, the historical opponents of Mr Trudeau's Liberal Party. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had just won the Conservatives' first majority in more than a decade, and the Liberals were in absolute disarray, having lost both 43 out of 77 seats in parliament, and their status as official opposition. Without a leader, and almost completely cut off of from voters in the west of the country, the Liberals had little to do but lick their wounds. Flash forward to today. After winning the Liberal leadership race in 2013, Mr Trudeau led his party to victory in October of 2015, securing a majority government and heralding a new era of "sunny ways" politics. At the party's leadership convention on 27 May. the Conservative Party will face the task of picking Mr Trudeau's challenger in the 2019 election. With 13 candidates, there are no clear front runners and few big names. Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary earned comparisons to US President Donald Trump for his reality TV credentials and outsider status, but ultimately dropped out of the race. "All the candidates say 'I'm the person who can beat Trudeau'," Peter Woolstencroft, a political scientist at the University of Waterloo, told the BBC. "But it's going to be very hard to beat him." With Vogue-ready hair and an affinity for selfies and surprise photo-ops, it will be very hard for anyone to challenge Mr Trudeau in the charisma department. But a candidate with a clear economic strategy that targets voters in specific districts may stand a chance, says Ian Brodie, who was Mr Harper's chief of staff for many years. "I don't think anybody's going to be able to out-Trudeau Trudeau," he adds. In order to differentiate themselves in a crowded race, some candidates are trying to position themselves as reformers of the party, Mr Brodie says. Maxime Bernier has proposed a more radically libertarian economic strategy, while Michael Chong has presented himself as a moderating force who would reign in social conservatives. Meanwhile, Kellie Leitch is pursuing the nationalist vote by going after immigration and suggesting people should have to take a "Canadian values" test before entering the country. The latter approach may go over well with some, Mr Woolstencroft says, but it would be "disastrous" in a general election. The Conservatives won their 2011 victory by convincing many new Canadians in suburbs of Toronto to vote for their economic policies. But in 2015, Harper lost many of those districts after campaigning on a platform for "old-stock Canadians" and creating a hotline for "barbaric cultural practices". "They fumbled the whole issue in the last election, they were just awful at it. They seemed to be optically clueless," Mr Woolstencroft says. Mr Brodie disagrees, and chalks the failures of the Conservatives in the last election up to their economic, not social policies. "Trudeau presented a compelling economic message about Canada's place in the world economy, and the Conservative Party didn't," he told the BBC. In the last election, the Liberal Party extolled the virtues of spending on infrastructure and developing the high-tech industry, while the Tories economic plan floundered when oil prices tanked. But their weakness in the last election could become their strength in the next, especially with Nafta renegotiations and an overheated housing market on the line, Mr Brodie says. "But if we get into a big downturn, especially if the housing market turns south very quickly, I don't think there's enough there to show that the Liberals have a job creation idea, and that leaves their whole front and five flanks open," he says. Although the party has a strong base in rural parts of Canada, the suburbs and western provinces, its base alone is not enough to win the next election, says Mr Brodie. Whoever wins the leadership better be able to make inroads in urban parts of Canada, like Vancouver and Toronto, or Quebec, where the party has typically had a small presence. "It's easy for the Conservative Party to play on old values, but I don't think most Canadians are too wrapped up in that stuff," Mr Woolstencroft says. But can the party grow its support in urban areas and progressive Quebec, without alienating their base? Maybe, both Mr Woolstencroft and Mr Brodie suggest, with a little help from the New Democratic Party (NDP). In 2011, the NDP won the role of official opposition for the first time in party history when they took many formerly Liberal districts. Most of the seats they gained in that election reverted back to the Liberals in the 2015 election. The left-wing NDP is currently in the middle of its own leadership race, but if it were to have a resurgence with progressive voters, it could help take seats from the Liberals or even flip some ridings to the Conservatives. They may stand a chance - many left-wing voters are frustrated that Trudeau has backed down on his promise for democratic reform and has continued to support oil pipelines. "That's a possibility, short of that, it's going to be a hard slog and it's going to be well past my creativity to make that work," Mr Brodie says.
As Canada's Conservative Party prepares to vote for its next leader, one question is on everyone's mind: how do you take down Justin Trudeau?

Exeter Crown Court heard Connor Cain, 19, was left for dead after the attack in the city in April 2016 but survived. While treating his wounds in hospital, doctors found more than £3,000 worth of drugs concealed in his rectum. One of the attackers boasted on Facebook afterwards, writing: "Ha, ha, ha. I stabbed the kid and the blade snapped so I could not pull it out." The seven men, who are from Liverpool and Devon, received sentences ranging from one year in jail, suspended for two years, to 15 years' imprisonment. Cain was jailed for three-and-a-half years last July for possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply. The court heard he was blinded by pepper spray before being attacked by at least four men who were wearing masks or hoods. Cain suffered severe injuries including a four-inch deep chest wound. After the attack, Matthew Henney boasted about what he had done on Facebook by sending messages to two girls he knew in Liverpool saying: "There was only the handle left. "He was only a little London muppet. He should not have tried to start. I warned him." The court heard the assault was due to a rivalry between a group of drug dealers from Liverpool who had been operating around Devon and Cornwall. Judge Mr Justice Sweeney told the offenders: "The events in the flat must have been entirely terrifying. He suffered terrible injuries which would have been fatal if he had not received immediate treatment. It was good fortune that he did not die." "There was pre-planning and a significant degree of premeditation. You were all involved in Class A drugs gang which decided to see off opposition on what you considered to be your turf." The collision, involving the coach and a Ford Focus car, happened on the A272 between Petersfield and Rogate shortly before 08:00 GMT. The 13 children on board and the driver of the coach are believed to be unhurt. The woman, 24, who had been driving the car, suffered serious leg and head injuries and has been airlifted to Southampton General Hospital. Hampshire Constabulary said the children were checked over by paramedics. The crash happened near the border of Hampshire and West Sussex, near Durford Abbey Farm, between Rogate and Petersfield. The road was closed between the B2070 London Road in Sheet and the Habin Hill junction in Rogate for about two-and-a-half hours. It reopened westbound shortly after 10:30 but remained shut eastbound until after 14:00. Emergency crews from both counties were called to help. West Sussex Fire & Rescue said its crews used hydraulic rescue equipment to release the woman from the car. Police are appealing for witnesses. Oliver Kierans, of Bailieborough in County Cavan, was also sentenced to eight years for possession of a sawn-off shotgun and 12 years for possession with intent to endanger life. He had pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife Patricia Keane in 2013. He was found guilty of her manslaughter in February. During his trial Kierans had said he had intended to take his own life on 5 September 2013 when he and his wife visited the family home. They had been separated for a number of months. He said that he picked up the shotgun and it went off, hitting his wife, the mother of his four children, in the chest and causing severe injuries leading to her death. Kierans then went to a bar in Bailieborough where he pointed the gun at a member of the police before his arrest. The judge said that when passing sentence she took into account that Kierans' four children had stood by him and that he was a loving grandfather. The sentences will run concurrently.

Councillor Bob Badham resigned on Wednesday, soon after Helen Smith, Director of Children's Services, following the release of the report. Ofsted inspectors found the department to be "inadequate" and failing vulnerable children in the area. Councillor Simon Hackett has taken over from Mr Badham and said he was determined to improve the service. "I see it as a challenge and something we can turn around. Like everyone else, a few days ago I read the report and frankly it was awful," he said. During an inspection in February Ofsted found families of vulnerable children were insufficiently supported by the council and in some cases were at risk of "significant harm". The local authority said it was aware of failings in the department and was taking action to improve performance. It said 70 extra social workers had been taken on last year and it was improving relations between staff and the police. The council said it had also started to work with a private sector partner, iMPOWER to improve services. Mr Hackett said he was planning to spend time in each part of the department, looking at it from the perspective of a child or young person. It is not the first time the council has been criticised by Ofsted over the service. Sandwell Children's Services was judged to be "inadequate" in 2009, but following an inspection in January 2012 it was found to have improved and was rated "adequate".
A new head of children's services has been appointed at Sandwell Council following a damning report from Ofsted.

The 45-year-old took charge in March following the departure of Sean O'Driscoll after just 16 games. Whitney guided the Saddlers to third in League One and a play-off place, only for them to be beaten by eventual winners Barnsley in the semi-final. Former Walsall defender Dean Holden is also confirmed as first-team coach. Holden returned to Bescot in March to join the existing backroom staff of goalkeeping coach Neil Cutler and the vastly experienced John Ward, who remains their professional development coach. Whitney - who spent his playing career as a defender with Huddersfield Town, Wigan Athletic, Hull City and Lincoln City - first joined Walsall in 2003 as a physiotherapist, before becoming part of ex-boss Dean Smith's coaching team. "I've been at the club for over 13 years," said Whitney. "I'm extremely proud that Walsall have given me my first permanent position in football management. "It's about finishing the job and creating a sense of unity, not just in the squad but with the fans and all connected with the club. We can push on together." Chairman Jeff Bonser added: "Jon is the right man for the job. He knows the inner workings of the club and has all the relevant knowledge and experience to take the club forward." "It comes as no real surprise that Walsall have opted for continuity by making Jon Whitney their new manager. "They had their fingers burnt when Sean O'Driscoll proved to be the wrong person at the wrong time following the departure of Dean Smith to Brentford. "Whitney's commitment to the club can never be doubted after 13 years at the Banks's Stadium and his motivational qualities are the stuff of legend, but he will now have to prove himself as a tactician and man-manager. "Not too much should be read into the Saddlers' play-off elimination at the hands of Barnsley - they ran into League One's in-form team. "However, expectations should not necessarily be set as high as another promotion push, given the likelihood that there will be significant movement among the playing squad." Shaun Whiter, who had played for Soham Town and was training with Newmarket Town when he was hit last July, used a hand-pedal bike. He was joined by former Ipswich Town players Russell Osman, Mick Stockwell and Titus Bramble, setting off on the ride from Portman Road on Sunday. It was held in support of several local charities, including the club's own. Before setting off Mr Whiter, who is 28 and lives near Newmarket, said "It was good to be getting back into sport again. I was part of a team before. I want to be part of a team and this is it." He was struck by a car while helping his friend change a tyre near Newmarket in Suffolk. Both his legs were crushed and had to be amputated. Jan Adamec, 40, was jailed for three years in September for causing injury by dangerous driving. Mr Whiter's friend, Soham Town Rangers player Joey Abbs, suffered serious leg injuries in the crash. Speaking after finishing the two-day ride to Potter's Resort in Hopton, Norfolk, and back, Mr Whiter described the event as "amazing". On using his arms instead of his legs to cycle he said: "It's difficult but it's what I have to now use so it's something that I've got used to and what I now enjoy.

The company made a net loss of $28m (£18m) in the three months to the end of May, a bigger loss than analysts had expected, but less than the $60m loss it made a year ago. Shares rose more than 8% as a slide in revenue showed signs of slowing. Crucially for the firm, revenues from its software business more than doubled from a year ago to $137m. Blackberry has been focusing on software and services in a bid to move away from its reliance on handsets. It reported total revenue for the period of $658m, slightly lower than the previous quarter. "Our performance in [the first financial quarter] demonstrates that we are firmly on track to achieve important milestones," said Blackberry chief executive John Chen. "Looking forward, we are focusing on our growth plan to enable our return to profitability," he said. The Respect Shared Space Rally was held on the Ravenhill Road on Friday evening after the erection of a number of flags, including UVF flags, nearby. This area is one of the most diverse in Belfast but some residents complained the flags were an attempt to mark it as being from one side of the community. Dominica McGowan, a rally speaker, said people found flags "intimidating". "I have absolutely no objection to people hanging flags on their own homes but these are public facilities, lamp posts belong to all. "I pay my rates, as does everybody else, and they have no right to be hijacked," Ms McGowan added. Union flags and and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) flags have been erected on lamp posts on Global Crescent and Cantrell Close. The housing developments are part of the Together: Building United Communities strategy. The strategy, launched by the Northern Ireland Executive in 2013, was aimed at "improving community relations and building a united and shared society". Resident Ann Dullaghan, who also attended the rally, said the flags "have to come down". "It's time for change, it's 2017 and people need to wake up." However, last week, the South Belfast MP said she had found no widespread demands for the flags to be removed. DUP MP Emma Little Pengelly said she had visited about 100 homes and found mixed views among residents. She said the majority of residents she spoke to "didn't want a public fuss around this matter". However, the MP added that some residents had raised concerns and she "reassured those individuals that I would be here to support them as well, I would represent their views to the housing association". Police have said that it is not their responsibility to remove flags. Officers will only take them down if there is a "substantial risk to public safety". Police said the victims managed to call 999 after getting to a petrol station in Tudor Street, Riverside, following an assault in nearby Despenser Gardens. Both men were taken to hospital following the incident which happened at about 19:00 BST on Friday. One man remains in hospital in a stable condition while the other has been discharged. United Utilities said it has to close an existing badly-damaged sewer and create a new 130m stretch of sewer on Mancunian Way. Manchester City Council said it is trying to minimise the disruption. The second hole opened last month near to work fixing a road collapse caused by heavy rainfall in August. Tony Griffiths, area manager for United Utilities, said it hoped to repair the sewer but had found the damage was greater than expected. He also said that the geological problems had added to the company's difficulties. Mr Griffiths said sealing off the old sewer - built in the 1920s - digging the first new tunnel in Manchester for many years had doubled the repair bill to £4m. "It is not just a significant piece of civil engineering, it is also a significant cost," he added. Councillor Kate Chappell (Labour), who is responsible for highways on Manchester City Council, said: "It is going to take until the New Year but the most important thing for ourselves and United Utilities is to make sure it is going to be the fix for the next generation." The work would create disruption during the run-up to Christmas but she added the council was delaying some roadworks until the New Year and has brought other works forward to open new routes. Repairs to the first hole, which was 15ft (4.5m), were being carried out by United Utilities and Manchester City Council.

Its image hasn't been helped by the fact that one of its alumni is Mark Clarke. He stands accused of bullying a young activist, Elliott Johnson, who took his life in September. More recently the YBF was described as a "cult" by Elliott Johnson's father Ray, who said it was "indoctrinating" those who attended. Mr Clarke denies the allegations made against him, but what do we know about the YBF and how it operates? Founded in 2003, YBF organises events for young people with conservative views to meet up and discuss politics. About 100 people attend its annual conference. Over the course of a weekend, young delegates will meet and hear talks from some of the most influential figures in the Conservative movement. Past speakers have included current and former cabinet ministers including Robert Halfon, Michael Gove, Eric Pickles and Grant Shapps. Members from UKIP, Young America's Foundation and libertarian pressure group The Freedom Association have also made appearances. However, terms and conditions apply. Firstly, attendance at all of the talks is compulsory. Secondly, everything said falls under the Chatham House Rule. This allows people to use the information they hear but not to reveal who said it. Tickets to the event, which include accommodation, drinks receptions and banquet dinners, are heavily subsidised and cost £45 for students. However, point three of the terms and conditions states that anyone in breach of rules one or two is liable to pay the full conference price of £500. I've been told the rule has never been enforced but it's there to stop people taking advantage of the generosity of those footing the lion's share of the bill. A solicitor called Donal Blaney. Although he's listed as one of Britain's most influential right-wingers, most people have probably never heard of him. The 41-year-old rarely gives interviews to the media. "I think people think that I am sat on a desert island stroking a white cat and plotting the revolution," he says when we eventually meet up in London. He's quick to add that the Bond villain image couldn't be further from the truth. He is, he says, a very private person. For that reason he has done very little to correct the myths about him and his organisation. For example, he's often credited with coining the phrase "conservative madrasa" to describe the YBF. In fact, he says he never said it - it was a political ally who used it once in a conversation years ago. Outside of the YBF he is the chairman of Conservative Way Forward, set up by Margaret Thatcher in 1991. David Cameron has described it as "the largest and most effective pressure group within the Conservative movement today". YBF is very much Donal Blaney's personal project. He says it's funded almost entirely from his own pocket to the tune of about £50,000 per year. It has been rumoured that the organisation was funded by the CIA, something Mr Blaney laughs at. "That was a joke I played on the Guardian in 2003. They asked whether we were funded from abroad and I thought I'd have some fun with them by saying, 'Yes, we've had some funding from Northern Virginia.' They said, 'Do you mean the CIA?' And I said 'I'm not answering that question,' and put the phone down. I had received $100 from a friend of mine who lived and worked in Northern Virginia." Listen again to The Report: Young, Tory and Bullied on the Radio iPlayer Donal Blaney makes a point of distinguishing his own political views from those of the YBF, which he says is a broad-church for anyone from "Heathites" to "Thatcherites". However, Euroscepticism, free market libertarianism, and reverence for the record of Margaret Thatcher are the sort of political attitudes regarded as "sound" in YBF. "The Young Britons' Foundation identifies, trains, mentors and helps to place young conservatives in public life," says Mr Blaney. "Some might become members of Parliament, some might become councillors, some might become journalists and some might go and earn a packet of money in the City." The way it tries to train or mentor them is through a series of workshops held at their conferences. The topics include public speaking, debating, appearing in the media, door-to-door campaigning and how to raise funds. Mr Blaney says YBF events are meant to be "fun, lively and irreverent gatherings of like-minded people". However, there are those who believe it's not all as innocent as it sounds. It's because of the death of Elliott Johnson, a 21-year-old member of the youth wing of the Conservative Party. He took his life in September and left a note saying he had been bullied by older Tory activists including Mark Clarke, a former director of outreach of YBF. After failing to win a seat when he stood as the Conservative candidate at the 2010 general election, Mr Clarke was the subject of a number of complaints from his local party. As a result he was thrown off the Conservative Party's candidates' list for future elections. He then became more involved with the YBF. Elliott Johnson also attended YBF events. It was at the group's annual conference last year that Mark Clarke used his speech to criticise and humiliate a young, female Conservative activist. We were told that Mr Clarke then persuaded Elliott Johnson to continue the personal attack on his blog. Since Elliott's death many others have come forward to say that they too have been bullied or harassed by Mark Clarke and others involved in the Conservative Party's youth wing. Many of those alleged aggressors are also seen as "graduates" of YBF training, as are many of the alleged victims. "I can't say for sure but the one thing that links all these people is the Young Britons' Foundation," says Aaron Ellis, a young Tory activist - who concedes he has never attended a YBF event himself. "Their definition of conservatism was very restrictive and tied up with that was an obsession with the political dark arts." He explained that he believed that some people who had attended YBF training sessions had been taught how to manipulate the media and brief against their opponents without being found out. Donal Blaney completely rejects the notion that his organisation has encouraged anyone to bully or intimidate others and told me that the suggestion YBF has done so is "grossly offensive". He stresses that young people attending YBF are explicitly told that personal attacks on opponents are "off limits". The Conservative Party has launched an investigation into numerous bullying allegations and the death of Elliott Johnson. It's being carried out by the law firm Clifford Chance. Meanwhile YBF has distanced itself from Mark Clarke. All references to him, including details of an award he was given in December 2014, were deleted from the organisation's website. Donal Blaney insists this is not an attempt to erase the past or pretend he was never friends with Mark Clarke. "I take the view that Mark Clarke's behaviour speaks for itself. I wish I had had nothing to do with him," he said. In recent days YBF has gone even further and the only thing you can now find on its website is a statement explaining why it has postponed this year's annual conference that was due to take place this weekend.
The Young Britons' Foundation has been portrayed as a "Tory madrasa" used to teach young Conservatives the "dark arts" of politics.
