In recent years, airlines looking for cost savings have reduced the sizes of seats and cut the amount of passenger legroom, among other changes. Passengers have often complained about the increasingly cramped quarters. Some flights have been disrupted after disputes broke out among passengers because of seating arrangements. "It costs you an arm and a leg just to have room for your arms and legs," said Senator Chuck Schumer, who sponsored the amendment, which was attached to a broader aviation bill. Many airlines now charge passengers if they want more legroom. Under the legislation, airlines would have been barred from further reducing the "size, width, padding and pitch" of seats. It also addressed legroom and the width of the aisles. Airline companies opposed the bill saying the measure was attempting to "re-regulate" the industry. The amendment failed 42-54 with all but one Republican voting against the legislation. Stores will close in Arizona, Kansas, New York, Utah, and Missouri. Macy's operates 840 stores in 45 US states under the Macy's and Bloomingdale's names and has approximately 175,000 employees. The retailer also said holiday sales rose 4.3% compared to the same period last year. But it lowered its forecast for 2014 sales growth to around 2.8%. Macy's said the job cuts and store closures will save $100m per year and it forecast a profit for this year which was well above analysts forecast. Macy's boss Terry Lundgren said in a statement: "We have identified some specific areas where we can improve our efficiency without compromising our effectiveness in serving the evolving needs of our customers". Shares rose more than 5% in after hours trading after the announcement. Overall, US retailers posted their lowest holiday sales growth in four years, according to ShopperTrak, a research firm. Many retailers, including Wal-Mart and Target, were forced to slash prices to lure shoppers through their doors. Retail sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas rose 2.7% compared to 3% last year, according to ShopperTrak and the total number of US consumers walking into stores declined 14.6% amid growing online sales. Macy's rival JC Penney said it was "pleased" with its holiday sales, but did not provide any details, which disappointed investors and shares tumbled 10%. But the Argyle boss, who has led his club to next Monday's League Two play-off final, says any move to a structure that has five divisions made up of 20 teams must be looked at carefully. "There's no doubt from a coaching point of view having 38 games rather than 46 is beneficial to a manager," he said. "But it's not beneficial to the revenue of a football club." He added to BBC Sport: "They're going to miss out on four home games, so to speak, so that's where it becomes a wee bit difficult." Under the proposals, which were unveiled by the Football League last week, an additional division would be created if 90% of the organisation's 72 clubs agree to the plans at the 2017 annual meeting. If they go ahead there would be no relegation from the current League Two in the 2018-19 season and eight teams would join from the National League.

The duo will lead their respective Ireland and England line-ups which fight it out for the Sean Kyle Cup in the team competition in Dublin. McCormack's fellow Irish Olympian Kerry O'Flaherty will also be in action. Irish duo Mick Clohisey and Mark Christie will hope to ward off the English challenge in the men's event. McCormack and O'Flaherty are joined in the Irish women's team by Laura O'Shaughnessy and Catherine Whoriskey and Claire McCarthy while Steel's England team-mates include 2016 Great Bristol Half Marathon winner Jenny Spink. Over 8,000 runners will race in the meeting which includes a Great Ireland 5K event in addition to the two main 10K races, which will double as the Irish National Championships for the distance. Last year Great Ireland Run event director, former Irish international athlete Gareth Turnbull came up with the idea of incorporating a team match into the event to pay tribute to the renowned coach Kyle, who formed a remarkable partnership with his wife, the three-time Olympian Maeve Kyle at the Ballymena & Antrim club. The team component saw an Ireland line-up which included McCormack, lifting the inaugural Sean Kyle Cup, as they defeated a Commonwealth select. The mixing of the sport's grassroots and elite athletes is something that would have delighted Ballymena athletics doyen Kyle, who died after a long illness in November 2015. Clohisey represented Ireland at the marathon in last year's Olympics but Christie's personal best for the distance of 29 minutes and 20 seconds suggests he could be the leading men's home hopeful, although his team-mate Kevin Dooney has clocked 29:10.13 for 10,000m on the track. Sergiu Ciobanu, in some eyes a controversial omission from last year's Irish Olympic marathon team, is also down to race in the Phoenix Park. This year's English Cross County silver medallist Alex Teuten is in an England squad which also includes sub-30 minutes 10K men Graham Rush, John Beattie and Daniel Cliffe. Sunday's event will again honour the memory of late Ballymena & Antrim athletics club great Sean Kyle. Cork and fellow midfielder Ki Sung-yueng believe there was an improvement despite their 2-0 FA Cup exit at Hull. Cork said: "He [Clement] has given us a bit of confidence. You could see we played some good stuff at times and it's looks like we're trying to go in the right direction." "I think the players have the confidence back," Ki added. Cork contends that even in Clement's first game in charge after succeeding American Bob Bradley and replacing caretaker Alan Curtis, Swansea looked a better team. Abel Hernandez opened Hull's scoring and Josh Tymon struck late on to send Hull into the fourth round. "We were comfortable really and just unfortunate that we conceded a late goal that finished the game off for us," said Cork. "We're trying to impress the new manager, we're really trying to impress the fans, trying to make up for the first half of the season. "Everything felt a lot more organised. Everyone knew their position to be in. We'd been working on it all week." Ki highlighted Clement's background, where he has worked alongside Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, before taking over at Liberty Stadium. "He knows football very, very well and has experience in a big club so he knows how to improve ourselves as a team and as individuals," said Ki. "As we go through the season I think we'll get much better than you saw at Hull. "And then hopefully we will go back to the philosophy we used to play, the passing and moving and maybe there is more to come."

The charges, which include indecent assault and sexual assault, involve four boys, who were aged between 11 and 14 at the time of the alleged offences. The ex-Crewe youth coach is accused of a total of 55 offences between 1979 and 1991 against young boys. The 63-year-old denied all accusations during previous court appearances. Mr Bennell - who also coached a number of junior teams in north-west England and the Midlands, some with associations to Manchester City and Stoke City - will appear at South Cheshire Magistrates' Court via video-link on 28 June. The latest accusations include four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-14, four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-12 and two counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-13. He is also charged with four counts of sexual assault on a boy aged 11-14. Last month, Bennell appeared at Crewe Magistrates' Court, where a further 21 child sex offences were put to him, but he did not enter a plea, and was remanded into custody.
Ex-football coach Barry Bennell has been charged with a further 14 counts of historical sex abuse against boys, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

On Monday morning zookeepers found one Humboldt penguin lying dead in its cage and two others missing, police spokesman Marco Mueller said. It is the latest in a string of mysterious incidents at Dortmund Zoo. Last month a sea lion was found dead with a smashed skull. In August three pygmy marmosets were stolen. Mr Mueller says it is not clear whether the incidents are linked. Police are trying to determine whether the penguins were targeted by thieves. A post-mortem examination is being carried out on the dead bird, the zoo said. Security at the zoo has been stepped up. Called Megavirus chilensis, it is 10 to 20 times wider than the average virus. It just beats the previous record holder, Mimivirus, which was found in a water cooling tower in the UK in 1992. Scientists tell the journal PNAS that Megavirus probably infects amoebas, single-celled organisms that are floating free in the sea. The particle measures about 0.7 micrometres (thousandths of a millimetre) in diameter. "It is bigger than some bacteria," explained Prof Jean-Michel Claverie, from Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. "You don't need an electron microscope to see it; you can see it with an ordinary light microscope," he told BBC News. Viruses cannot copy themselves; they need to invade a host cell if they want to replicate. Like Mimivirus, Megavirus has hair-like structures, or fibrils, on the exterior of its shell, or capsid, that probably attract unsuspecting amoebas looking to prey on bacteria displaying similar features. A study of the giant virus's DNA shows it to have more than a thousand genes, the biochemical instructions it uses to build the systems it requires to replicate once inside its host. In the lab experiments conducted by Professor Claverie and colleagues, in which they infected fresh-water amoebas, Megavirus was seen to construct large trojan organelles - the "cells within cells" that would produce new viruses to infect other amoebas. "Everything is initiated from a single particle, and then grows and grows to become this virion factory," explained Prof Claverie. "That's why it needs all these genes." Megavirus was found off the coast of Las Cruces, central Chile. It was recovered as part of a general trawl in the ocean for biology of interest. "This is a new way of doing virology," said Prof Claverie. "Previously, we only discovered viruses because they caused disease in humans, or animals and plants. But now we are initiating what might be called environmental virology and we are looking for viruses everywhere. "You just go to lakes, seas and oceans and pick up the water, and then you filter it, and try to rescue the virus by co-cultivating it with some potential host." More generally, there is interest in ocean viruses because they have a major influence on populations of plankton, the microscopic organisms that form the base of many marine food chains. And when they kill plankton, viruses are also helping to regulate the planet's geochemical cycles as the dead organisms sink into the deep, locking away their carbon for aeons. Prof Claverie said the megavirus would not be hazardous to humans. [email protected]

Selsey Academy in West Sussex suffered "extensive structural damage" and much of its contents were destroyed. The school said it hoped to announce alternative arrangements for its 453 pupils on Thursday afternoon. Head teacher Tom Garfield said he was dedicated to keeping schooling in Selsey "in the short and long term". The Academy is the only secondary school on the Manhood peninsular and the nearest similar school is understood to be eight miles away in Chichester. Mr Garfield told BBC Sussex he did not know how much of the building would be useable. He said electronic pupil records were being restored from a cloud-based storage system but it was "difficult to tell what remains of written records". He was consulting its sponsor, the Kemnal Academies Trust, the school's insurers, the Department for Education and West Sussex County Council. West Sussex Fire and Rescue said the first 999 call came from a roofer to say a partition on the roof was alight. Strong winds blew embers on to adjacent buildings as the fire took hold. Deputy chief fire officer Gavin Watts said: "There was little that could be done to stop it spreading so quickly and it is a sad sight to see such a local asset so badly damaged. "We were able to prevent it spreading to all parts of the school, however, and I'm particularly pleased there were no injuries reported. "I'm also glad we were able to protect the neighbouring properties including the thatched houses that are part of Selsey's appeal." The party's leader confirmed talks were underway about how to respond to criticism he made of Plaid's general election campaign. He said Plaid spent too much time talking about Scotland and failed to convince voters to switch from Labour. Ms Wood said Plaid needed a "united front" if it was going to be successful at next year's assembly elections. She told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme: "I would expect, and all of those candidates would expect, none of our number would undermined that collective work. "So there's discussions on going about this, but certainly if we are to be successful in presenting ourselves as a successful government in waiting ahead of next year's election then we need to present ourselves as a united front." Asked whether he would be de-selected, she added: "I am not judge and juror and executioner. I'm the party leader and these matters are for the party." It was "no secret" that she and Lord Elis-Thomas had disagreed, but Plaid members had "plenty of opportunity" to debate the party's policies and strategy, she said. Lord Elis-Thomas - the AM for Dwyfor Meirionnydd and former leader - is understood to have angered some in his party with his comments.

It was originally thought the value of the items stolen over the 2015 Easter holiday was £14m. But Woolwich Crown Court heard prosecutors are now seeking the larger sum from the five "ringleaders" convicted of the robbery. If they do not pay back the sum they face a maximum of 14 years being added to their sentences without parole. The court heard the full confiscation hearing - set to begin in January 2018 - is expected to last around six weeks. The Hatton Garden raid over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend of 2015 was already Britain's biggest ever burglary. The gang raided safe deposit boxes for jewels after boring into the vault of the now defunct Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd. An estimated two thirds of the valuables remain unrecovered. In June 2016 - after the trial - a woman came forward reportedly alleging that she had lost £7m worth of gold in the raid. John "Kenny" Collins, 76, of Islington; Daniel Jones, 62 and Terry Perkins, 68, of Enfield; and the group's oldest member, Brian Reader, 78, of Dartford, Kent, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary last year. Collins, Jones and Perkins were each given a seven-year prison term for their involvement in the burglary. Reader, who was too ill to attend the initial trial, was later given a six years and three months sentence. Carl Wood, 59, and William Lincoln, 60, were sentenced for the same offence and one count of and conspiracy to conceal, convert or transfer criminal property, after a trial. The two men were given six and seven-year sentences respectively.
The value of the goods stolen in the Hatton Garden jewellery raid has risen to an estimated £25m.

Staff at Wingham Wildlife Park stepped in after the baby bird's mother had to leave the egg because the father refused to help her incubate it. The two male Humboldt penguins, Jumbs and Kermit, were given the egg, which hatched a month ago. Park owner Tony Binskin said: "These two have so far proven to be two of the best penguin parents we have had yet." Jumbs and Kermit were first seen pairing up in 2012, leaving two females without mates. "Whilst it was nice to see two of our birds pair up, it actually meant that we were left with not two but four birds unable to reproduce within our collection," Mr Binskin said. The species is thought to be declining in number, and the park brought in two new males for breeding. But each time female Isobel lays an egg, her partner Hurricane refuses to sit on it. Mr Binskin's wife Jackie said Hurricane was a "very inconsiderate partner who is happy to get Isobel pregnant", then "seems to think that his job is done". An egg from the pair was given to Jumbs and Kermit last year, but failed to hatch. Isobel laid another egg in March, but was again forced to leave it to find food. It was given to Jumbs and Kermit, and hatched on 12 April. There have been previous reports of exclusive male-to-male pairings among penguins, and some have reared chicks. Mr Binskin said: "Whilst pair bonding often results in no result other than eliminating those two animals from the breeding population of that species, in captivity it can have greatly positive effects. "We are still very much starting our breeding efforts with this species, and this is only our second year of breeding, but having such good surrogate parents available should we need them is a huge bonus for us." Fifa says the Football Association will breach its rules if England sport red poppies on their shirts as Fifa regards it is a political emblem. The Royal British Legion has urged Fifa to think again and says the red poppy is a symbol of hope and remembrance. England play Scotland at Wembley on 11 November in a World Cup 2018 qualifier. Recording Clerk for Quakers in Britain, Paul Parker, who lives in Saffron Walden, said: "Some Quakers will be wearing red poppies and some will be wearing the white poppy, for peace, some will wear no poppy and some will be wearing both. "It is something we very much feel is an individual's choice. "We have to be careful not to let the red poppy become a symbol of national pride. It is the symbol of remembrance, it is about the horror of war and we should make sure it stays that way. He said he would "love it" if one of the players wore a white poppy. "The important thing is that they themselves have the choice about whether or not the red poppy is a symbol they want to wear." Fifa, world football's governing body, prohibits political, religious or commercial messages on shirts. English FA Chief Executive Martin Glenn said players from both sides would wear black armbands carrying the poppy symbol - traditionally used to remember those who died during World War One - "as a point of principle".

The centre, which was proposed by former rugby player and coach Ben Harvey, will allow elite athletes to train in sports from rugby to surfing. Planners recommended it be rejected because of concerns about its community value and the loss of green space. But the Planning Committee approved it on the condition it was made available long-term for everyone in the island. Only 40% of the centre is earmarked for schools and sports groups to use while the rest will be a private members-only gym. However, Mr Harvey said it was aimed "primarily at the children of the island", with schools getting free access to the facility and to staff. It will be built next to the rugby club in St Peter. The 39-year-old left-armer played 22 Tests for England, also winning the ICC World Twenty20 title with them in 2010. He also won five County Championship titles, three with his native Yorkshire and two with Nottinghamshire. "There's a tear in my eye whenever I think about not playing professional cricket again - a game that's given me so much over the years," he said. Sidebottom, whose father Arnie also played for Yorkshire and won one Test cap in 1985, has taken 1,028 wickets in all competitions, including 737 in first-class cricket. Born in Huddersfield, he began and will end his career at Yorkshire, either side of a spell at Nottinghamshire between 2004 and 2010. "I've always tried to play with a smile on my face and give 110% because I absolutely love this sport," he continued. "It's been an honour to represent my home county, Yorkshire, play for my country and help make history at Nottinghamshire. "I couldn't have asked for better team-mates and they've helped me become the cricketer I am today." After making a wicketless Test debut against Pakistan at Lord's in 2001, Sidebottom had to wait six years for a second chance. His most successful series came in New Zealand in 2008, when his left-arm swing bowling captured 24 wickets at an average of 17.08 - including a hat-trick in the first Test at Hamilton - in a 2-1 England victory. He never played against Australia during his Test career, but took 2-26 against them in the 2010 World T20 final as Paul Collingwood's side became the first - and so far only - England team to win a global International Cricket Council limited-overs tournament. He retired from international cricket later that year. Meanwhile, Yorkshire pair Liam Plunkett and Alex Lees have been added to the MCC team for the champion county match against Middlesex, starting in Abu Dhabi on 26 March. Plunkett replaces injured team-mate Matt Fisher, while Lees comes in for England opener Haseeb Hameed, who has withdrawn from the squad to undergo sinus surgery.

Karen Davis is accused of disorderly behaviour and will appear at Port Pirie Magistrates Court at a later date. In a statement, police said: "The woman's actions were the same as someone flashing their genitals and the expectation is that we take action. "It isn't appropriate for anyone to expose themselves... Our community should be able to expect decency." Davis was quoted in a local newspaper on Monday saying she looked at Google Maps "a lot" and wanted to feature on Street View. "I got to tick something else off my bucket list. I met Sam Newman and now I am on Google Maps," she told the Adelaide Advertiser. "There was no child harmed in the making, my children don't have to go to therapy because of it, I didn't give any old man a heart attack — that I'm aware of. "I spoke to my 19-year old son before and he thinks it's funny as, my children don't have a problem with it at all. "I'm going to try and go to court with a straight face and try not to laugh - I think it is a bit hilarious because it is so low scale in the criminal world." Google has now pixelated the whole of Karen Davis' body in Street View. The photos were taken two months ago. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Davis said people in her local community have been calling her a "bad mother" and "pure filth". "They are narrow-minded people who are not happy with their own bodies," she said. She also said that she has a friend in the UK and she thought it would brighten up his day if he saw the image online. "If he looks on there he will smile," she said.

Lebanese media said the retaliatory shellfire hit the village of Wazzani. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah were heightened by the killing of a prominent militant in Syria last month. Hezbollah vowed to hold Israel to account for the killing of Samir Qantar in a missile strike in the capital Damascus. Israel's government welcomed news of his death, but did not confirm it was responsible. An Israeli military spokesman said two armoured vehicles, one of them a bulldozer, were targeted in Monday's attack on a road in the western Mount Dov or Shebaa Farms area, a tract of land between the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria. No soldiers were killed in the attack but that there were injuries, a military source told the BBC. Lebanese media reported that shells fired by Israeli artillery in response hit Wazzani and nearby areas, and that there were reports of injuries. Hezbollah subsequently declared that a cell named after Qantar was behind the bombing. "The martyr leader Samir Qantar group detonated a large explosive device on an Israeli patrol in the Shebaa Farms... which destroyed an Israeli vehicle... and injured those inside it," a statement said. Following Qantar's death, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said it reserved "the right to respond to this assassination at the time and place of our choosing". Qantar, a Lebanese Druze, spent almost 30 years in prison in Israel for a notorious attack in which four people were killed, but was released in 2008 in an exchange with Hezbollah. He later joined the Shia Islamist movement and at the time of his death was involved in "resistance" against Israel's occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights. Ruth Elizabeth Cocker, from Birdwell, was taken to hospital where she later died. The crash happened at 23:00 GMT on Wednesday on Sheffield Road at Hoyland Common. Three other people in the car, an 82-year-old woman, a 77-year-old woman and a 67-year-old man, were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

Mr Choudary, 48, from Ilford, east London, was bailed last Friday when he appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from Belmarsh Prison. A judge said Mr Choudary had found someone to stand surety of £15,000. At an earlier hearing he indicated he would plead not guilty to the charges. Another man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, is also accused of inviting support for so-called Islamic State (IS). He remains on remand but has been granted bail in principle on the same conditions, should a suitable individual be identified to offer surety. Both men have already spent months on police bail following their arrest last September. They were remanded in custody after being charged in August. The charges against Mr Rahman, from Whitechapel, also in east London, and Mr Choudary relate to social media activity between 29 June 2014 and 6 March 2015. Mr Rahman has also indicated he denies the charge. Mr Choudary and Mr Rahman are due back in court for a plea and case management hearing on 11 December, with a provisional trial date set for 11 January 2016. The trial is scheduled to be heard by a High Court judge and is expected to last three to four weeks. The child, who apparently could not swim, was paddling in The Lagoon on the Western Esplanade in Southend just before 18:00 BST on Wednesday. He wandered into a 2m-deep section and struggled to keep afloat before disappearing under the water. Essex Police has appealed for his rescuer, who jumped in fully clothed to pull him to safety, to come forward. Sgt Ian Hughes said: "There is no doubt that he saved the boy from drowning and deserves to be recognised for his quick-thinking and bravery. "Unfortunately he left the scene soon after the rescue because his own son wanted to go on a ride at Adventure Island. His clothes were soaking wet but he wanted to make sure his son had that ride." The boy, from Peckham in south London, was checked by paramedics and was found to have made a full recovery.

It removed the word "patience" from its regular statement. The language was seen as an indication that the central bank would refrain from raising rates for at least a few months. But the Fed said it would wait until it saw "further improvement" in the US labour market before raising rates. US shares rose sharply on the news. A delayed rate rise is good news for US companies, who will remain able to borrow cheaply for some time yet. That cheered investors, who pushed the Dow Jones higher by 0.9% or 159 points to 18,008, while the broader S&P 500 rose 1% to 2,096. Many market watchers had expected the Fed to signal on Wednesday that it would move towards a rate rise in June or September. However, in a statement released at the end of its two-day policy meeting in Washington, DC, the Federal Reserve warned that US economic growth had "moderated somewhat" since January. Fed officials added that it would "appropriate" to raise interest rates once there had been "further improvement in the labor market" and cautioned that "this change in the forward guidance does not indicate that the Committee has decided on the timing of the initial increase". The chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, said in a press conference following the release of the statement that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did "not want to rule out the possibility" of a rate rise, but any move would "depend on the committee's assessment if incoming information". "Just because we removed the word patient from the statement doesn't mean we're going to be impatient," she added. A recent spate of disappointing US economic data, such as lower retail sales and consumer sentiment, has led some economist to call for a rate rise to be delayed even further. "The Fed is in no rush," said Ward McCarthy, chief US economist at Jefferies. "At the current juncture, the timing of the liftoff is still indeterminate and will depend upon the inflation data. The policy statement eliminated the use of 'patient' in forward guidance, but the FOMC also described the new forward guidance as being "consistent" with the prior forward guidance." He added: "The word 'patient' was removed, but the meaning of patient remained." For investors this was billed as the biggest Federal Reserve policy meeting in years. The Fed under the leadership of Janet Yellen is trying to prepare the world for the first US rate hike in nearly a decade. By dropping the word patient from its statement, America's central bank signalled its intention to start gradually raising interest rates from their record lows. The world's largest economy is improving. Jobs are returning. But the recovery in the housing market is subdued. Exports have slowed as the value of the dollar has climbed. And wages remain stagnant. Ultra low rates are meant to encourage borrowing and spending to fuel growth. The Fed is now seeing that the recovery is looking strong enough to be able to support higher rates. But the exact timing...well that remains a mystery. The only certainty is that those higher rates won't come in April. As for any more clues? Ms Yellen refused to provide any hints during her press conference: "We can't provide certainty and shouldn't provide certainty because economic developments that will unfold are uncertain," she said.
The US Federal Reserve has modified its stance on interest rates, which have been kept at a record low of 0% since the financial crisis in 2008.

"I'm hoping to sort it with TAS that I can do all the racing I normally do except the North West 200 and TT." Media playback is not supported on this device The 33-year-old truck fitter and TV presenter made the comments in his new book 'When You Dead, You Dead'. The clarification follows a cryptic message posted recently on the Grimsby man's own YouTube channel, in which he hinted that he was about to scale down his road-racing activities next season. After weeks of considering his future, Martin claimed that he had made a decision on his plans for 2016 which would "upset a few people". It appears that he is keen to continue racing at some of his favourite events, including the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man, the Armoy road races, the Ulster Grand Prix and the Scarborough meetings at Oliver's Mount. It remains to be seen whether the Northern Ireland-based TAS Racing outfit will be agreeable to the plan, or whether they will seek a replacement for Martin to partner new signing Ian Hutchinson at two of the major events on the road-racing calendar. Martin looks unlikely to compete at the North West 200 again after causing a stir this year by launching a live on-air rant over the number of chicanes around the 8.9-mile course, saying he was "bored to the back teeth of riding through chicanes". Media playback is not supported on this device Martin's outburst, for which he later publicly apologised to Race Director Mervyn Whyte, led many to believe that he had raced at the 'Triangle' circuit for the final time. "I left Northern Ireland thinking, I'm not going back to the North West," confirmed Martin in his new autobiography. The 11-times Ulster Grand Prix winner sustained five broken vertebrae, a broken sternum and several fractured ribs in a huge crash while leading the Dundrod 150 Superbike race in August. Martin, who will celebrate his birthday next week, recovered quickly from his injuries, signing himself out of hospital just a few days later, following surgery. His name appeared on the official entry list for next month's Macau Grand Prix in the Far East under the Tyco BMW banner, but he later withdrew from the event.
Road-racing star Guy Martin has indicated that he intends to sit out the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT international events next year.

In May it was revealed 26 former residents of the Beechwood home in Mapperley, Nottingham, had been awarded a total of £250,000 in compensation. The city council said the claims were settled without an admission of liability but confirmed there were a "significant number" of other claims. Now it has emerged these relate to 12 other care homes and secure units. In 2010 Nottinghamshire Police launched Operation Daybreak, an investigation into allegations of abuse at Beechwood from the 1960s to 2000. By last year this had widened to include four other homes in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Now Nottingham City Council has confirmed compensation claims have been received in relation to 13 centres. Nottinghamshire Police said it was actively investigating five homes with another four facing no further action. The disclosures follow a BBC Freedom of Information request. Officers also confirmed 10 men had been arrested with seven released with no further action; two on bail and still being investigated on suspicion of rape and that one man had since died during its investigation over rape allegations. (Key: *Compensation claims, +Under police investigation) Former resident Mickey Summers is at the centre of a campaign to reveal what went on. He has already been told his records were destroyed in the late 1970s. He said: "I feel disgusted and let down. I believe the police weren't interested. It's the same old thing, they think a little boy crying wolf and associate kids in children's homes with attention seeking. "I feel like they've abused me for the last 10 years. I want someone made accountable. I don't care if individuals are deceased. Make someone corporately accountable. It's about justice and getting final closure." Mr Summers complained to Nottinghamshire Police more than a decade ago but claims he was not taken seriously - a decision which will be reviewed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. A city council spokesman said they were trying to help Mr Summers get to the truth and had conducted an extensive search for his records and their destruction was due to the lack of rules on keeping files at the time. But they said they had apologised and were still trying to help him piece together what happened. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) records showed there were 17.4 million overseas visitors to London in 2014, up 3.5% on the previous year. The boom has continued since the city hosted the Olympics in 2012 with restaurants, hotels and attractions benefiting most. Last year visitors pumped £11.8bn into the economy compared to £11.5bn 2013. The diverse range of exhibitions and events on offer in London from Henri Matisse: The Cut Outs at the Tate Modern to Sherlock Holmes at the Museum of London were huge crowd-pullers. Events to mark the 100th anniversary of World War One had a major impact on visitor numbers both from home and abroad. The number visiting military exhibitions rose by 22% to 3.6 million. More than five million visited The Tower of London's Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, and HMS Belfast also had three million more visits. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "These terrific new figures confirm that record numbers of tourists are spending record amounts of dosh in our amazing city. "Our status as the number one destination in the world is surely beyond any doubt and with incredible attractions like the Rugby World Cup heading our way, we look forward to welcoming many thousands more visitors to London." Gordon Innes, chief executive of London & Partners, which runs www.VisitLondon.com, said: "Royal occasions, like the arrival of Princess Charlotte, combined with London's heritage attractions, are expected to attract many more millions from the UK and abroad."

Greg Moorhouse's hat-trick saw Glenavon snatch victory but Jeffrey said all the opposition goals had been preventable. "If the players aren't able to learn and eradicate the mistakes, then you've got to see how do you sort that out. "That's usually when you look to bring other players in," added Jeffrey. Jeffrey said that Ballymena's defensive short-comings would have been masked in Tuesday's thrilling contest but for the "stupendous and unbelievable display" of Glenavon goalkeeper Jonathan Tuffey. Relive Tuesday night's Premiership action "He made save after save after save after save and the simple difference between the teams was Jonathan. "But I've actually looked at all four (Glenavon) goals and they were all preventable and we keep saying that. "There was at least one if not two mistakes, within all the goals that we conceded. "And with the greatest of respect, Glenavon did not have to work overly hard to score their goals." Following Tuesday's "frustrating" defeat, Jeffrey repeated his season-long mantra that his task at Ballymena is a "work in progress" but in the next breath acknowledged that he may be busy during the remainder of the current transfer window. "Now is the time we have got to take a little bit of a closer look. "We have got this far on the journey, how do we kick on? "We're learning all the time about players. We'll see where that journey takes us."
Ballymena United boss David Jeffrey has warned his players that his patience is being stretched after the Braidmen lost a 3-1 lead in Tuesday's 4-3 home Premiership defeat by Glenavon.

Much of that North American revenue was down to the Walt Disney studio, which released such blockbusters as Finding Dory and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Captain America: Civil War, another Disney release, is ranked third in the list of 2016's highest US earners. According to Variety, the record was broken due to "more expensive tickets". It predicted that attendance figures, when calculated, would be "essentially flat". Captain America: Civil War was the year's highest grossing release globally, having made $1.15 billion (£936 million). That put it ahead on Box Office Mojo's list of 2016's overall highest worldwide grossers. Finding Dory was the first animated film to top the list of US and Canada top grossers since Toy Story 3, another Pixar sequel, topped the chart in 2010.

It carried out observations at 60 sites in five areas of England and 30 locations in Scotland last October. Overall, the DfT found 1.1% of drivers holding a mobile in their hand compared with 0.5% with a phone to their ear. Van drivers used their phones the most, with 2.7% falling foul of the law. Legislation was introduced in 2003 making it illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving or riding a motorcycle. Drivers may be issued with a fixed penalty notice, resulting in three penalty points on the driving licence and a fine of £100. If a case goes to court, they face disqualification and a fine of up to £1,000. The use of hands-free phones is permitted but a driver can still be stopped if police believe they are distracted. The DfT says the purpose of its surveys in South East England, Manchester, Newcastle, Durham, Norfolk and Scotland was to "assess compliance". Observations were made of drivers of cars, vans, taxis, lorries, buses, minibuses and coaches between 07:30-12:00 and 13:30-18:00 on weekdays. Some locations were surveyed again at weekends. The DfT said: "A distinction was made between drivers holding the phone to their ear (indicating that the driver was receiving or making a call) or holding it in their hand (indicating that the driver may have been receiving or making a call, texting or reading a text, or using it for some other interactive function)." It acknowledged that "it was not possible for observers to determine what the mobile phone was being used for". However, it said the finding "suggests that most mobile phone usage whilst driving was for the purposes of sending or receiving a text or using social media rather than making a call". Among car drivers, 1.4% were found to be using a mobile. Although 2.7% of van drivers were using a phone, most (1.9%) were holding it to their ear rather than in their hand. Only 1.2% of goods vehicles and lorry drivers were on a phone, with bus, coach and minibus drivers having the lowest usage rate at 0.4%. Officials spotted 1.7% of male drivers using a hand-held mobile phone, compared to 1.3% of females. The DfT said the proportion of car drivers in England observed using a mobile was about the same as in 2009, when a previous survey was carried out. Transport minister Robert Goodwill said: "No phone-call is worth risking an accident. This research shows that the problem isn't just drivers making phone calls, it is their use of phones to text or use the internet. "While this only provides a snapshot, it is an interesting insight that will help inform future policy. We will keep further deterrent measures under consideration." A survey commissioned by ministers in Northern Ireland last year suggested 1% of drivers were using a mobile. There has been no similar research in Wales.

Narraway led The Exiles to a first win in six matches against Gloucester on Sunday to claim a vital four points. The victory at the Madejski Stadium pulled them to within five points of second-from-bottom Newcastle. "This has to be the beginning rather than just a flash-in-the-pan win," Narraway told BBC Sport. Irish travel to Worcester on Saturday knowing they will need to end an away-win drought of more than a calendar year to haul themselves off the bottom of the table with five games remaining. "We've had the belief we can get ourselves out of this situation," Narraway said. "The win against Gloucester just gives us a bit of confidence in what we're doing." Narraway revealed he gave his side an impassioned post-match speech after the win over the Cherry and Whites. "It was a case of telling the boys to enjoy the moment and the occasion as well as each other's company, but to be straight back on it from Tuesday," he said. "To be fair, the boys have done just that. Every game is a pretty big one in the situation we're in. Games are running out. "If we can register a first away win of the season at Worcester, it really would cut that points deficit down and give us a fighting chance." They trail leaders Barcelona by three points with one game to go, and Barca have the better head-to-head record so would win if points are level. Champions League finalists Atletico went 1-0 up through Fernando Torres. But Levante, who are relegated, hit back with goals from Victor Casadesus and a last-minute Giuseppe Rossi strike. Relive the drama of the penultimate weeked of the La Liga title race Plaudits have been paid to Diego Simeone and his Atletico players since they overcame Bayern Munich to set up a 28 May Champions League final with Real Madrid in Milan. Yet their midweek exploits looked to have caught up with them as they failed to overcome La Liga's bottom club. It had looked to be going to plan when Torres finished well following Koke's clever pass. Atletico had kept clean sheets in their previous four league games, three of which had ended 1-0. But Casadesus' equaliser and Rossi's late breakaway at the Ciutat de Valencia means 2014 champions Atletico, who started with inspirational central defender Diego Godin and top scorer Antoine Griezmann on the bench, now cannot overhaul Barca. In an open letter, the groups said they had quit because of "fundamental" differences over use of the technology. And there had been little prospect that the talks would have produced "adequate protections" for citizens. People deserved better protection than the talks had been likely to have produced, they said. The discussions, brokered by the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the body that oversees technology policy issues, began in February 2014. Nine separate privacy groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Center for Democracy and Technology, were invited. But the groups' letter said the companies involved had refused to accept they needed prior permission from people being identified by the technology. At a "base minimum", said the rights groups, people should be able to walk down a street without having to worry that companies unknown to them were tracking them and trying to work out who they were. "Unfortunately," read the letter, "we have been unable to obtain agreement even with that basic, specific premise." The NTIA told tech news site The Register the talks would continue to debate some of the "thorniest privacy topics concerning facial recognition" without the privacy groups. It said it would "continue to facilitate meetings on this topic for those stakeholders who want to participate". Already, said the EFF in a statement explaining its decision to quit, millions of facial images had been captured and processed by law enforcement agencies and private companies. It said biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial features, was a different class of sensitive data because it could not be changed. "Through facial recognition, these immutable, physical facts can be used to identify you, remotely and in secret, without any recourse," it said.

It said authorities were justified in giving precedence to enforcing "the full school curriculum" and the children's "successful integration" into society. The ECHR acknowledged that religious freedom was being interfered with. But judges said it did not amount to a violation. The case was brought by two Swiss nationals, of Turkish origin, who refused to send their teenage daughters to the compulsory mixed lessons in the city of Basel. Education officials, however, said that exemptions were available only for girls who had reached the age of puberty - which the girls had not reached at the time. In 2010, after a long-running dispute, the parents were ordered to pay a combined fine of 1,400 Swiss Francs ($1,380, £1,136) "for acting in breach of their parental duty". They argued that such treatment was a violation of article nine of the European Convention on Human Rights, which covers the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. In a statement, the ECHR said the refusal to exempt the girls had interfered with the right to freedom of religion. But it also said the law involved was designed to "protect foreign pupils from any form of social exclusion" and Switzerland was free to design its education system according to its own needs and traditions. Schools, it said, played an important role in social integration, and exemptions from some lessons are "justified only in very exceptional circumstances".

Sanchez fell into the boards after an apparent shove by Ryan Bennett, although the Norwich defender denied it was a deliberate push. "First of all it's dangerous to have a camera there," Wenger said. "He could've killed him. He didn't need to push like he did. I think the camera position was absolutely dangerous." Bennett, 25, tweeted after the match to give his version of the incident, writing: "Genuinely was trying to stop not push Sanchez just to clear that up." Chile forward Sanchez landed heavily in the cameraman's area on the touchline during the first half at Carrow Road, and although he was fit to resume he was later forced off with a hamstring injury.

Stuart Lancaster has already made some tough decisions over the past few weeks when trimming his World Cup training squad, but the hardest calls are still to come for the England head coach. England play two warm-up matches against France - at home on 15 August and away in Paris a week later - before the deadline for the final 31-man World Cup squad at the end of the month. Lancaster chose to move his team announcement for the first France game forward by 72 hours to Monday in order to give the team maximum time to prepare, and for some players this weekend could be a final chance to impress. These are the main dilemmas facing the England boss with a little over a month to go until the start of the World Cup. England will take five props in the final squad, with three of them - Joe Marler, Mako Vunipola and Dan Cole - guaranteed a place. David Wilson - an able deputy for Cole when the Leicester man was injured - is also likely to be included, and this would then leave a straight choice between Kieran Brookes and Alex Corbisiero. Corbisiero has the pedigree and was outstanding for the British and Irish Lions in 2013, but has been beset by injury in recent years. Brookes only made his England debut last summer, but has impressed the England management and - like Corbisiero - can play on both sides of the scrum. Corbisiero is the favourite, but Brookes has his chance to stake a claim at Twickenham on Saturday. A few months ago, the hooker position looked crystal clear, with Tom Youngs and Rob Webber backing up Dylan Hartley. However, Hartley's suspension and removal from the squad means there is a place available for either Luke Cowan-Dickie or Jamie George, assuming Webber's experience means he is included alongside first-choice Youngs. England forwards coach Graham Rowntree is a fan of the promising 22-year-old Cowan-Dickie, who was named in the initial training squad. But George - who has profited from Hartley's absence and was a Premiership winner with Saracens in May - could come from nowhere to make the 31. Along with centre, this is perhaps the tightest call the England coaches will have to make. At lock, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes and Geoff Parling will all make the squad, leaving a slot for Dave Attwood, George Kruis or - at a push - Nick Easter. Attwood and Kruis formed a solid partnership at the start of the Six Nations and will both feature this weekend, while Easter may come into consideration with his ability to play both second row and number eight. The only other man with similar versatility - Maro Itoje - didn't survive the first cut. Five back-rowers will be named among the 17 forwards, and it's hard to look beyond James Haskell and Tom Wood alongside captain Chris Robshaw as the flankers, with Ben Morgan and Billy Vunipola the number eights. One man who has an outside chance of forcing his way in is Northampton's Calum Clark, who makes his England debut on Saturday. The choices at half-back are fairly straightforward. Ben Youngs, Richard Wigglesworth and Danny Care will be the three scrum-halves, injury permitting, with George Ford and Owen Farrell the fly-halves. This is where it gets complicated. Lancaster will almost certainly name all three of the wingers left in the squad - Jonny May, Jack Nowell and Anthony Watson - along with the two full-backs, Mike Brown and Alex Goode. This leaves four centre spots free among the 14 backs, two of which will be Brad Barritt and Jonathan Joseph. This leaves places available for two of Henry Slade, Luther Burrell, Billy Twelvetrees and league convert Sam Burgess. Burrell is ahead of the other three and likely to be included. Lancaster, along with backs coach Andy Farrell, is a fully paid-up member of the Burgess fan club, and would love to have him involved in the final squad. But can the management justify his inclusion over the likes of Slade or Twelvetrees, especially if Burgess has a quiet debut against France on Saturday? Media playback is not supported on this device If Twelvetrees misses out, and with Kyle Eastmond already jettisoned, England look short of a ball-playing option at inside-centre, although Burrell performed there competently during the Six Nations, while Farrell could also fill the role of second playmaker if required. However, it's hard to look beyond a midfield axis of Ford, Barritt and Joseph for the tournament opener against Fiji on 18 September. Slade's inexperience will count against him, but his versatility and promise will do the opposite, and like Burgess he can lay down a marker at Twickenham this weekend. Meanwhile, Lancaster could still throw a curve ball and include Danny Cipriani over Saracens full-back Goode, although this would leave the squad with only one specialist full-back in Brown, who hasn't played since March. Either way, expect Cipriani - who will start on the bench on Saturday - to feature at number 15 at some stage during the warm-ups. A meticulous planner, Lancaster will have had his preferred 31-man squad in his mind for some time, and even now it's likely he will know the vast majority of the players he will take to the World Cup. But the next few weeks will still be instrumental when it comes to deciding the final couple of places, and that's before the great imponderable - injuries - are thrown into the equation. At long last, England's World Cup build-up has begun in earnest.
So 50 became 46, which is now down to 39.

The 42-year-old batsman, who was named one of Wisden's five Cricketers of the Year on Wednesday, has led his side in 53 Tests since taking over in 2010. Pakistan take on West Indies in a three-match series, with the first Test in Kingston starting on 21 April. "My cricket journey was very good," said Misbah. "There were many hardships in my career but for now I am focusing on the present." Misbah made his Test debut in 2001 but had only 19 caps when he was appointed captain, having returned to the squad in 2007 after a four-year absence. He had been dropped earlier in 2010 but was named captain after predecessor Salman Butt was suspended and later jailed on spot-fixing charges, along with Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif. Misbah is Pakistan's most successful Test captain, with 24 wins from his 53 matches in charges, having also briefly led his side to the number one Test ranking last year. He has scored 4,951 runs in 72 Tests at an average of 45.84, hitting the most recent of his 10 centuries in victory over England at Lord's in July. Since that drawn series with England, his side have beaten West Indies but lost a two-Test series in New Zealand and been whitewashed 3-0 by Australia. "The series against West Indies is a good opportunity to get the team back on the winning track," he added. Misbah led Pakistan in one-day internationals from 2011 until his retirement from limited-overs cricket after the 2015 World Cup, having also been in charge for eight T20 internationals.

The former England youth internationals have both previously worked under manager Lee Clark at Blackpool. They have have signed for the Ayrshire club, who currently sit second bottom of the table, until the summer. Both were free agents, with Henshall, 22, last with Ipswich Town, and Addison, 27, with Peterborough United. Addison, who can play in defence or midfield, spent six years with Derby County before three years with Bournemouth. He also has turned out for Barnsley, Rotherham United, Scunthorpe United and Blackpool on loan. Having joined Peterborough in November, Addison scored on his debut against Barnsley, but he made only two more appearances for the League One outfit, his last being on 2 January against Sheffield United. Henshall joined Manchester City in 2010 after starting his career at Swindon Town as a youth, During his four-year spell with City, he went out on loan to Chesterfield, Bristol Rovers and Ipswich Town before joining the Portman Road club on a permanent deal in 2010. However, he made only five appearances for the Tractor Boys and last played a first-team game in January 2015, when he suffered a knee injury that cut short a loan spell with Blackpool. Donegal manager Rory Gallagher has confirmed that the Kilcar man is training on his own and did not confirm any return date for the 2012 All Star. "At present he is not in the squad," Gallagher told Donegal Sport Hub. "He is working on his own individual strength and conditioning programme under our supervision," said Gallagher.

The former prime minister praised the Labour leader, saying he was "his own man", and he wanted Labour to win "for the future of our country". Mr Blair said Mr Cameron had put "exit on the agenda" and the UK would be a "parochial bystander" outside the EU. But Mr Cameron insisted he was "putting the country first" in seeking a vote. Mr Blair won general elections as Labour leader in 1997, 2001 and 2005, and stood down as prime minister in 2007. BBC deputy political editor James Landale said Mr Blair had "largely stayed out of British politics" since then - but Labour hoped he still had "enough lingering stardust to appeal to some voters". In other election developments on Tuesday: Mr Cameron has pledged to renegotiate a "better deal" for the UK in Europe and to stage a referendum on the UK's membership in 2017. This election issue includes the UK’s membership of the European Union and its negotiating position. But speaking in his former constituency of Sedgefield in County Durham, Mr Blair said a referendum would be a "huge distraction" and the prospect of possible exit would leave a "pall of unpredictability hanging over the British economy". "And the oddest thing of all about having this referendum? The PM doesn't really believe we should leave Europe; not even the Europe as it is today," he said. "This was a concession to party, a manoeuvre to access some of the UKIP vote, a sop to the rampant anti-Europe feeling of parts of the media. "This issue, touching as it does the country's future, is too important to be traded like this." Mr Blair said leaving the EU would leave Britain "diminished in the world" and take the country "out of the leadership game" globally. Citing the wrangling over Scottish devolution and the growth of the SNP since September's referendum on Scottish independence, Mr Blair said it was foolish to believe an EU referendum would settle the issue once and for all. Mr Blair, who has appeared to question some of Mr Miliband's positioning in the past year, said he "respected" Mr Miliband for putting the "interests of the country first" and opposing a referendum on Conservative terms. "He showed on this, as he did on other issues, that he is his own man with his own convictions and the determination to follow them even when they go against the tide." Analysis by deputy political editor James Landale "Former Labour prime minister backs Labour" is one of those news stories that falls into the "dog bites man" variety. Important, perhaps, to the poor chap with a sore leg but hardly news for the rest of us. So why will we spend so much of today discussing Tony Blair's intervention in the election campaign? Read James' full blog Asked whether he agreed with Mr Miliband's views on the economy, regarded to be to the left of his, Mr Blair said Labour was united by a "deep and profound belief in social justice" and he believed its leader had an "excellent set of policies" to deal with the challenges facing Britain. "I have always had a view that Ed can win and I hope and I am sure he will... I support him 100% to lead our party to victory at the next general election." Labour has made its opposition to a referendum a key plank of its appeal to the business community, although firms have warned that although a referendum will cause uncertainty, the EU needs structural reform and the status quo is not acceptable. The Conservatives have responded by saying Mr Blair has "no credibility" over the EU, suggesting that he "gave away" part of the UK's rebate on its contributions to the EU when he was in Downing Street. Speaking in Edinburgh, Mr Cameron said: "Tony Blair is wrong. I'm putting the country first and saying the people of the United Kingdom should be able to have a choice about whether they want to stay in Europe on a reformed basis or leave. "It's an in-out referendum by the end of 2017. It's right for our country, it's right for Europe too." And Chancellor George Osborne said Mr Blair would do the "absolute minimum required" to campaign for a Labour victory. "By refusing to appear alongside the Labour leader and indeed putting himself on the other end of the country, he is advertising the fact that he thinks the Labour leader is weak," he said. Mr Cameron, who is visiting all four nations of the UK on Tuesday, earlier appealed in a newspaper interview to supporters of UKIP - which wants to leave the EU - to "come home" to the Conservatives. UKIP, which is pushing for a referendum on Europe as early as the end of 2015, has rejected Mr Cameron's entreaties and welcomed Mr Blair's intervention as a chance to have a "proper debate" about the UK's place in Europe. "It is no surprise to see him pat Ed Miliband on the back for signing up to the corporatist EU agenda," its leader Nigel Farage said. "The overall message from the Labour Party is that it wants the British people to trust it yet will not trust the British people to decide how they are governed." Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, who also opposes a referendum in 2017, said he agreed with Mr Blair, suggesting a future Conservative government would be beholden to Eurosceptics in his own party as well as UKIP. "He (David Cameron) said it this morning: he wants to make a home for Nigel Farage in the Conservative Party.... Just imagine a Conservative Party leadership entirely in hock to Nigel Farage and (Eurosceptic Conservative) Peter Bone. "It is an absolutely terrifying prospect, but that's what is perfectly possible and likely without the Liberal Democrats sat around the Cabinet table."
Tony Blair has given his "100%" backing to Ed Miliband as he attacked David Cameron's pledge to hold a referendum on Britain's EU membership.

But they admitted $1m (£640,000) of expenses fraud and money laundering in plea agreements with US authorities. The pair had spent the money on a Barbados timeshare, luxury bedding and a dog sofa. A US Department of Justice spokeswoman said other personal expenses, falsely described as business expenditure, included "personal legal fees, expensive furniture, and a domed pet residence". In an agreement with the US Attorney in Maryland, both admitted "conspiracy to commit wire fraud". Mr Dunham, 59, pleaded guilty to an additional charge of money laundering. Between 2002 and 2009, the pair had charged personal expenses to their corporate credit cards when they worked for PACE, an electronics repair company. They had also billed the European arm of the company for expenses they had already claimed from the worldwide arm. The couple had sought to avoid extradition to the US by appealing to the High Court and the European Court of Human Rights, but their bids were rejected. In May, Mr and Mrs Dunham were taken to hospital on the day they were due to report to police and be flown out of the UK. On 22 May, they were handed over to US Marshalls at Heathrow's Terminal Four by officers from the Met Police's extradition unit. Earlier this month, their trial in the US was postponed until next year. The couple had been staying with friends in North Carolina who offered their house as collateral. Mr and Mrs Dunham have agreed to pay back the $1m they claimed. Mr Dunham faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the expenses fraud and money laundering. Because of her plea agreement, his wife, 58, will be sentenced to 60 days in prison. The pair will be sentenced in January.
A British couple accused of defrauding the US company they worked for have admitted the charges against them.

Further tests are being carried out, but if confirmed, it would be the first case of BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) in Ireland since 2013. The animal involved is a five-year-old cow from a dairy farm in County Louth. The Irish Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) said the cow was not presented for slaughter and did not enter the food chain. In a statement, a DAFM spokesperson said: "The case was identified through the department's on-going surveillance system on fallen animals (that is, animals which die on farm)." They added that the results of the further tests should be available next week. The Irish Minister for Agriculture, Simon Coveney, said this appeared to be an isolated case, and there was absolutely no risk to people. A positive result would be a blow for the Irish beef trade, which just last week welcomed the decision by the World Animal Health Organisation to grant the Republic of Ireland a "negligible risk" status in respect of BSE. At the time, Mr Coveney hailed it as a "landmark decision" and "major step forward on BSE certification". He said the new status had "reflected the huge progress made over many years in eradicating this disease from the national herd". Stormont's Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said her department had been in contact with their southern counterparts and was being kept informed of the situation. "We are now awaiting details of the confirmatory tests following DAFM's investigation. I understand that the animal was not presented for slaughter and did not enter the food chain," she said. "DARD (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development) has in place robust and rigorous control and surveillance measures around BSE."
A suspected case of "mad cow disease" has been identified in the Republic of Ireland, the Irish government has said.

The bonds will pay a fixed gross rate of interest of 6.50% a year until 2022. Interest will be paid semi-annually. The minimum initial investment is £2,000, and the bonds can be bought and sold in multiples of £100 after that. Wasps plays in the Aviva Premiership at the 32,600-seater Ricoh Arena in Coventry, after moving there from Adams Park, High Wycombe, in December 2014. Wasps owns and operates the Arena, which - as well as the sports stadium - also includes a concert venue of 40,500 capacity which hosts major acts. The stadium complex also includes a 6,000 sq m indoor facility that can host up to 12,000 people, as well as a casino, two restaurants, a 121-room hotel and more than 20 retail, food and beverage outlets on site. It bought Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), the owner of the Ricoh Arena, last autumn and in the four months since December has seen attendances triple to an average of 18,569 per match. There has been a parallel growth in hospitality sales, as well as healthy conference and exhibition sales, while a number of high-profile sponsorships have also been signed. The club's group chief executive David Armstrong said the bond would be tradable on the London Stock Exchange's Order Book for Retail Bonds. He added: "The move to the Ricoh Arena was transformational for Wasps and our new home provides us with multiple income streams and the opportunity to create one of the UK's premier sport, business and entertainment complexes, while offering sponsors and partners the exciting opportunity to get involved with the new second home of English rugby. "This is another step in achieving our aim of creating a long-term sustainable business model." Wasps Finance plc is a special purpose vehicle that has been set up for the purposes of issuing the bonds. The Bonds will be guaranteed by the two key operating companies, Wasps Holdings and Arena Coventry Ltd, including the Ricoh Arena. Interest will be paid on 13 November and 13 May in each year with the investment due to be paid back in full on 13 May 2022. Trading in the bonds is earmarked to start on 14 May 2015. More than 60 people were wounded in the blasts, mostly civilians, police said. The blasts happened in Aino Mina, an elite housing development on the outskirts of the city. It is thought families were dining nearby. No group has so far said it carried out the attacks. Earlier this month a roadside bomb in Kandahar province killed at least 10 civilians. The attack comes a day after a suicide attack in the capital, Kabul, killed 15 people including two US soldiers. Javed Faisal, a spokesman for the Kandahar provincial governor, told the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) that the bombings appeared to have targeted a police vehicle in the Aino Mena area, catching some officers but mostly civilians. "There were two vehicle IEDs [improvised explosive devices]," he told the AFP news agency. The Kandahar provincial media centre said the attack happened at 19:30 (15:00 GMT) and that many children were among the severely injured. Correspondents say the Aino Mina development was conceived in 2002 and built by investors including President Hamid Karzai's businessman brother Mahmoud Karzai. Most international troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, and Afghan forces are due to take responsibility for the security of the whole country in the next few months, for the first time since 1992.

Chaplin, famous for his comic roles in black and white silent films, would book into the Newton Hotel in Nairn with his family later in his life. The hotel has been put on the market with an asking price of about £4.5m plus VAT. The former baronial mansion has 63 bedrooms and 21 acres (8ha) of grounds. Borko Ilincic, 33, is accused of being involved in the spectacular 11m euros ($15m; £9m) robbery of a jewellery store in Dubai in 2007. Spanish police said he was arrested as he tried to leave a hotel in a Madrid suburb in a rental car. He was carrying a false Bosnian passport, though police said his real nationality is Serbian. The Pink Panthers are an international band of jewel thieves, many of whom hail from the Balkans, who are known for their daring robberies and burglaries. Interpol says the gang has stolen over 330m euros ($450m; £270m) of jewellery since 1999, and is linked to 340 robberies in 35 countries. Many of the robberies took place in the French Riviera, but the gang has also struck as far away as Dubai, Tokyo, and London. The Pink Panthers were given their name when police in London made an arrest in 2003, and found a diamond ring hidden in a jar of face cream - a ploy used in the original Pink Panther comedies starring Peter Sellers.

The remotely piloted Reaper plane was on an armed reconnaissance mission, seeking out IS fighters who had fired on advancing Iraqi government troops. It spotted them planting improvised explosive devices and fired a Hellfire missile at them. The RAF is providing air support for the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the fight against IS. The attack follows recent successes on the ground in northern Iraq by the Kurdish Peshmerga, which is being trained and equipped by the British army as part of the coalition trying to reverse IS's advances in Iraq and Syria. The Islamist militant group controls a large swathe of territory in both countries, where it has declared a caliphate. On Thursday, Peshmerga forces were reported to have broken the long-running IS siege of Mount Sinjar, where thousands of Yazidis and other displaced Iraqis have been trapped since August. The Kurdish offensive began early on Wednesday with the most intensive round of air strikes yet by US and coalition forces - 45 in all. On the ground, about 8,000 Peshmerga fighters launched a two-pronged attack which they said had succeeded in opening a wide corridor to allow the besieged refugees to leave. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's top officer, Gen Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said US air strikes had killed several high-ranking IS military leaders in Iraq. Britain carried out its first drone attack on Islamic State militants in Iraq last month.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said it was "exploring the feasibility" of a £7.50 daily charge for cars in zones in Manchester, Bolton and Bury. It said it was looking at a "wide range of possible options and scenarios". Mayor Andy Burnham said he has "no plans for a congestion charge" or to "punish" drivers of diesel vehicles. The £20m scheme also proposed charging £20 for vans and £100 for lorries exceeding set emission targets to travel in the clean air zones. Mr Burnham told the BBC: "I have no intention of introducing charges on the ordinary motorist. "We need to improve the air quality in Greater Manchester but I have no plans for a congestion charge and no intention at all of punishing drivers of diesel [vehicles]." He said the draft report was a "document that was about starting the debate - about the options". TfGM said the draft report was "early-stage exploratory work". It was considering the "possible impact" of any future proposals and "exploring the feasibility" of clean air zones. The government published its draft UK Air Quality Plan on Friday aimed at improving air quality by reducing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels. The UK has struggled to keep within EU limits on some pollutants, particularly NO2, which is produced by diesel engines and is linked to a range of respiratory diseases, including asthma. Only six of the 43 regions of the UK are within NO2 limits. The 52-year-old former Cheltenham Town, Stoke City, Burnley, Notts County, Portsmouth, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City boss came in with Redknapp for the last three games of the season. But, despite playing a part in Blues avoiding relegation, he is to move on. "It was a very difficult decision. The club made me a good offer," Cotterill told the Championship club's website. While Redknapp has opted to make his interim deal more permanent by signing a one-year deal, Cotterill wants the chance to be the boss again at another club. "My decision was solely based on being a number two, whereas really I have been a manager for a long time in my own right," he continued. "Harry Redknapp asked me to come in and help for three weeks and I believe that's what I firmly did." Cotterill, who had previously worked with Redknapp at QPR, was brought in alongside another experienced former player and manager, Paul Groves. Ex-West Bromwich Albion and Grimsby Town midfielder Groves previously worked under Redknapp in his second stint at Portsmouth.

Kapil Sharma said he was asked to pay a bribe of 500,000 rupees ($7,492; £5,632) to build his Mumbai office, despite paying huge taxes. He tweeted, "Yeh hain aapke acche din? (Is this your idea of good days?)", referring to Mr Modi's campaign slogan in the run up to his 2014 poll victory. The Mumbai civic authorities said the office structure was illegal. But, they told reporters that they had begun an investigation into the corruption allegations. It is not clear whether Mr Sharma paid the bribe or not. The state government has promised strict action against the "culprit" who demanded the bribe.. The comedian hosts a television show called the Kapil Sharma show which has a cult following in India.

Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat to Morton leaves the Kirkcaldy side eighth in the Championship, four points above the relegation play-off place. Locke, 41, took over at Stark's Park last May following Ray MacKinnon's departure to Dundee United. The former Hearts manager resigned as Kilmarnock boss in January 2016 after less than a year in the post. Rovers started their league campaign with three consecutive victories but have only won three more games in the Championship since, their last success coming in late October. Jackson, 50, had been on the coaching staff at Dundee United, leaving in September 2015, along with manager Jackie McNamara. Capped 28 times for Scotland, he joined Rovers immediately after Locke's appointment. Locke's dismissal drew sympathy from Morton manager Jim Duffy, whose side moved back up to third in the Championship with victory at Stark's Park. "You always feel for every manager; we all know how difficult a job it is, how hard every manager works - it is a 24/7 job," Duffy told BBC Scotland. "It totally takes over you and consumes you. Gary is a terrific boy and I absolutely feel for him. It is very difficult if it is ultimately your team [Morton] that tips the balance against him. "For any manager time is the key element, and if you get a bit of time, there is a chance you can turn things around. "But patience is generally not a virtue in football. Normally if it is not going your way, the inevitability is you are going to lose your job."
Raith Rovers have sacked manager Gary Locke and assistant Darren Jackson after a run of 14 games without a win.

They have pointed to Carers UK figures suggesting that one in eight adults in the UK has unpaid caring responsibilities, which would be 6.5 million people. The Census in 2011 put the figure for England and Wales at about 6 million. At first glance, allocating £150m to help 6.5 million people is not very much - it's about £23 each. But the party's release on the subject was very clear that it wanted to help all of them. The top line was: "A £150m package for Britain's 6.5 million carers was announced by the Liberal Democrats today as part of their Disability Manifesto." So what are they actually offering? Eventually, they hope to give a bonus of £250 to carers looking after a family member who needs at least 35 hours of care a week for a year. It will be introduced in 2017-18, at which point it will be £125 per carer. The Liberal Democrats say that in that first year it will cost £130m, which will be funded by most of the £150m they plan to raise from a levy on tobacco firms. We have an idea of how many people will qualify for this. The Institute for Fiscal Studies says that in 2013-14 there were 645,000 claimants of Carer's Allowance, which you can only claim if you spend at least 35 hours a week caring for somebody. The £130m would easily provide £125 for 645,000 people, with money left over to cover rising numbers and some people who are full-time carers but do not qualify for Carer's Allowance. And what of the other £20m? That will go towards the £50m they say it will cost them to increase the amount carers are allowed to earn per week, without losing their Carer's Allowance, from £110 to £150. They haven't said when that will start though, so it's hard to be clear on the costing. They also hope to give carers an extra five days of paid leave a year as well as a "passport" from the NHS, giving them privileges that may include more flexible visiting hours and free hospital parking and also offers such as free cinema tickets, free restaurant meals and free gym sessions. All of which seems entirely laudable. But if they are only going to spend £150m it suggests a high proportion of those 6.5 million carers will not receive much from this package of support.

Cook's 34 from 42 balls neither silenced the doubters nor soothed the supporters. He may have been the second violinist to another virtuoso performance from Moeen Ali, but he played a decent melody. There were two crisp drives off Angelo Mathews and two deft late cuts in the opening five overs, at which point he was scoring at almost a run a ball. If there was a criticism, it was his inability to push quick singles. There was composure and control but no real urgency. Crucially, he does not impose himself on a bowling attack. You know he will put away the bad ball, but he is not intimidating to bowl at. Openers who are - such as Tillakaratne Dilshan, and Moeen come to that - bristle with intent. They pounce on any tiny lapse in line and length. They loom large in the bowler's mind, forcing them into error. A batsman like Dilshan or Moeen can have a debilitating effect on a bowler's optimism. Cook tends to be controllable. Bowlers don't fear him. That said, Cook and Moeen's opening partnership of 84 was the ideal platform for this short run chase. Moeen's batting was again exhilarating and after his early surge, Cook largely gave him the strike. Frustratingly, he lapsed into a bad old habit - poking at a slightly wide full delivery and nicking to the keeper. The jury is still out and, regarding Cook and one-day cricket, it will probably never return. But if another of the objectives of this short series was to expose the less experienced members of the batting order to pressure situations, it was a useful exercise. After some wanton wastage of wickets - Alex Hales and Eoin Morgan the most culpable - 50 were required off five overs. Jos Buttler had the bat speed to slice and pull Ajantha Mendis for two fours, and 40 runs were needed off four. Joe Root, who had stabilised the innings, then produced an amazing six with the first ball of the 32nd over. When Root was then caught at extra cover off the next delivery, it seemed as if England would again sacrifice themselves on the altar of over-ambition. But the fractional overstepping by the bowler, Prasad, preserved Root's wicket. It was the slice of fortune England craved, if hardly deserved. Buttler carved five fours through the offside afterwards, rattling up a 34-ball fifty, and the job was as good as done. Root calmly finished it off. But it was a small step up a very steep hill. Conservative MP Rebecca Pow asked Commons Leader Chris Grayling for a "little pot of money", during business questions. The tower was built to mark the battle, but since 2005 it has been fenced off because of falling stone debris. Mr Grayling said there would be a chance to lobby colleagues for cash. The 175ft (53m) high tower was built in 1817 to mark the Battle of Waterloo which took place on 18 June 1815. Celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of the battle are due to take place in Wellington. Ms Pow called for a debate to be held to "celebrate and discuss this wonderful anniversary". "Perhaps he [Chris Grayling] might find a little pot of money to restore the wonderful Wellington Monument which is in so need of an upgrade," she said. In response Mr Grayling said he did not have the budget to pay for the work but "there will be many opportunities to lobby those of my colleagues who do have such a budget".

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, 65, was serving a 20-year jail sentence on separatism and terror charges, after being convicted of involvement in a 2002 bomb attack in Chengdu. Tenzin Delek had denied the charges, calling them politically motivated. The US, EU and rights groups had criticised his sentence at the time and called for his release. Police in the south-western Sichuan city of Chengdu, where Tenzin Delek was being held, informed his relatives of his death on Sunday, rights group Students for a Free Tibet said. His cousin Geshe Nyima, who is based in India, told Reuters that the cause of his death was not clear. Another rights group, Free Tibet, said that the monk's family had asked for the return of his body, but this was rejected by prison officials. A member of the Public Security Bureau in Sichuan's Dazhu county confirmed Tenzin Delek's death to the AP news agency, but refused to provide further details. The monk was initially given a suspended death sentence in 2002. This was later commuted to life imprisonment, and then a 20-year jail sentence. Another monk, Lobsang Dhondup, who had been charged alongside Tenzin Delek over the bombing, was executed in January 2003. Rights groups have accused China of suppressing Tibetan culture and freedom of expression, and detaining monks who have expressed support for Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. However, the Chinese government says Tibet's economy has developed considerably under its rule, and that Tibetan communities enjoy a great deal of autonomy under a system of devolved government. In 1959, after a failed anti-Chinese uprising, the 14th Dalai Lama fled Tibet and set up a government in exile in India.
A prominent Tibetan monk has died in a Chinese prison after 13 years in jail, his family and rights groups say.

Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick against an exposed City defence and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was sent off for handling outside his box after a misplaced pass. "There will be no change. Until the last day of my career as a coach I will try to play from our keeper," he said. Barca lead Champions League Group C with nine points, five ahead of City. City were already a goal down in the early stages of the second half when Bravo intercepted a through ball, but then gifted possession to Luis Suarez. The Chilean goalkeeper, who was stranded outside his area, then deliberately handled the Uruguayan's lob towards goal. "Sometimes there are mistakes and sometimes you have to kick the ball out, but most of the time, when we play good, it starts from there," added Guardiola. "Of course he knows what he did, but he has a lot of experience and he's one of best goalkeepers in last 10 years, so I don't have doubts about him." City have not won any of their past four matches but are top of the Premier League and Guardiola won his first 10 games after he took charge in the summer. The 45-year-old said his side needed more time to be capable of challenging at Barcelona's level. "We lost the game 4-0, but we are a new club, we are getting to know each other," he said. "We are a club that for 35 years was not in Europe. "We came here and played with huge personality but it is always difficult to play Barcelona with 11. With 10 the game was over. Until then the game was open." Former Manchester United and Everton defender Phil Neville said City were not of the same standard as their Spanish rivals. "City are nowhere near where Guardiola wants them to be," Champions League winner Neville told BBC Radio 5 live. "Barcelona are only at 80% of where they can be and this shows City are nowhere near them and will probably struggle to win the Champions League this year." This was the first time the Premier League leaders had conceded four times in the competition, which represented another miserable return to the Nou Camp for Guardiola. The Catalan won 14 trophies during his four-year tenure as Barca boss, but he has now twice lost heavily to the Spaniards - the other occasion a 3-0 first-leg semi-final defeat with Bayern Munich in May 2015. City are accustomed to losing to the five-time European champions. They were beaten in all four of their encounters under Guardiola's predecessor, Manuel Pellegrini, including elimination in the last 16 in 2014 and 2015. The Premier League leaders were marginally the better side in the first half this time - they made only 30 fewer passes than the hosts and had an almost identical passing accuracy (78.4% to Barcelona's 78.6%). Had defender John Stones headed home David Silva's free-kick to level before the break, the second half might have unfolded differently. Neville, who won the competition with Manchester United in 1999, added: "City have still got a way to go. Their players were giving the ball away, not following the instructions of Guardiola. "There are better teams in Europe than Barcelona this season but they were far better than Manchester City." Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane on ITV: "Manchester City's approach was very brave, but very stupid." Former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne on BT Sport: "I don't trust Bravo with the ball at his feet." Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport: "The personnel aren't up to executing Guardiola's ideas - he needs to change personnel" Phil Neville on BBC Radio 5 live In Short: "Bravo has got massive massive amounts of ability, Pep will want him to continue doing what he's doing, taking risks."

Britain's donations of more than £100m in the summer of 2014 helped to set up nearly 3,000 hospital beds. This vital provision, researchers estimate, prevented 56,000 Ebola cases. But a further 12,500 cases could have been averted if the beds been available even a month earlier, they calculate. The UK government insists that it did act swiftly and says the international community as a whole could have done more. It's not the first time the government's response to Ebola has come under scrutiny. In February, the Public Accounts Committee said funds had not been released quickly enough to deal with the crisis. In the months following the Ebola outbreak, the World Health Organization was also heavily criticised for being slow to act. The work from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, published in the journal PNAS, details how much of an impact a delay in international aid may have had. Researchers used a mathematical model to estimate how many cases of Ebola were averted thanks to foreign aid efforts that set up treatment centres where patients with the infectious virus could be quarantined and cared for. From September 2014 onwards, more than 2,700 treatment beds were introduced in Ebola holding centres, community care centres and treatment units to support the overwhelmed health system in Sierra Leone. The researchers calculate that these beds prevented some 56,600 cases of Ebola. Had they been installed a month earlier, tens of thousands more would have been avoided. With Ebola killing more than half of those it infects, thousands more lives would also have been saved. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the world's deadliest to date. 11,312 Deaths - probable, confirmed and suspected (Includes one in the US and six in Mali) 4,808 Liberia 3,955 Sierra Leone 2,534 Guinea 8 Nigeria The three West African countries at the heart of the Ebola epidemic have recorded their first week with no new cases since the outbreak began in March 2014. But experts agree there is no room for complacency - experience shows that the disease could easily break out again. To date, the UK has committed £427m to defeating Ebola. A spokeswoman for the Department for International Development said: "Britain has been at the forefront of the international response to Ebola in Sierra Leone. "By deploying NHS medics and military personnel and building treatment centres across the country, our swift action helped save countless lives and contain the spread of the disease." In an interview with the Daily Mirror, she said wolf-whistlers were saying: "Cor, you look all right darlin'." Ms Lumley added: "What's wrong with that?" The 70-year-old - an actor, presenter, campaigner, and former model - claimed people had become "sensitive flowers" who were "very offended by everything". In July, Nottinghamshire Police said wolf-whistling could be a hate crime. In the interview, Ms Lumley said people had been "tougher" in the 1960s. "When I was modelling, photographers were much ruder," she said. "They'd say: 'You look frightful, what's the matter with you?', 'You look podgy, you look fat as a pig.' "It was good-natured banter. You kind of got on with it, it didn't upset you." Last month, Nottinghamshire Police said they had recorded 11 misogynistic hate crimes since April, which covers offences including harassment, kidnapping, possession of weapons and causing public fear, alarm or distress. There were also 19 misogynistic "hate incidents", which cover behaviour less serious than a criminal act such as name calling and offensive jokes. In Worcester in April, a 23-year-old woman reported wolf-whistling builders to the police. The police said it was a matter for the men's employers. A builder involved called the wolf-whistling "a bit of banter". Ms Lumley was unavailable for comment when contacted by the BBC on Wednesday.

A device exploded while officers were on patrol on Tuesday night, police said. Parts of the town have been cordoned off as a result of the security alert, and there is no access to the town via Liskey Road. The explosion reportedly happened at about 20:30 GMT. "We are incredibly lucky that the lives of officers and other members of the community were not lost last night," said Supt Gordon McCalmont. "We appreciate the understanding and patience of local residents while we carry out our enquiries and would appeal for anyone with information about suspicious activity in the area to contact us." SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan condemned the attack and said the device has been described as "substantial". "Such attacks on the PSNI have no place in a modern progressive society," he said. "Strabane has come a long way over recent years and the people want no return of the past." Earlier, Sinn Féin councillor Karina Carlin said she heard a bang when the device exploded. "I went to the scene after the noise but I didn't see anything," she said. "The police were trying to get residents out of their homes last night, but I urged them not to because there wasn't going to be any meaningful searching until this morning." Jodie Broughton scored a fine solo effort before Justin Horo pounced to add a second to help give Catalans a 10-0 half-time lead Matt Whitley crossed for Widnes before Yaha grabbed Dragons' third try. Yaha then completed his treble, with Patrick Ah Van scoring a late consolation effort for the Vikings. Defeat leaves Widnes 10 points adrift of the top four with just six games left in the Super 8s. Victory, which moves Dragons back to within two points of fourth-placed St Helens, came at a cost with scrum-half Thomas Bosc leaving the field with a knee injury. Widnes also suffered, with Rhys Hanbury and Chris Dean forced off following head knocks. It took brilliance from Broughton to get Catalans started, the winger collecting a loose Widnes pass to race away and score the game's opening try in the right-hand corner, doing just enough to bounce over the line as Joe Mellor made a desperate attempt at a try-saving tackle. Horo touched down unimpeded for Catalans' second score, punishing Corey Thompson who failed to claim what seemed an innocuous high ball from Bosc. Widnes, searching for their first win Perpignan, went close to responding though Aaron Heremaia before the break, only for Whitley to come up with the visitors' first points in the second half after racing on to meet a fine cross-field kick from Kevin Brown. Moments after Lloyd White landed the conversion to reduce the arrears further, Thompson spilled the resulting kick-off, allowing Catalans to quickly build and send Yaha over for the first of two tries in the left-hand corner. A flick pass out from Vincent Duport sent the 19-year-old over for his third score, with a fourth effort going begging at the end as he knocked on over the line. Catalans Dragons: Gigot; Broughton, Garcia, Duport, Yaha; Carney, Bosc; Taylor, Pelissier, Casty, Stewart, Horo, Baitieri. Replacements: Anderson, Aiton, Bousquet, Mounis. Widnes Vikings: Hanbury; Thompson, Runciman, Marsh, Ah Van; Brown, Mellor; Burke, White, Buchanan, Dean, Houston, Cahill. Replacements: Manuokafoa, Leuluai, Whitley, Heremaia.

Lemmy died at home in Los Angeles on Monday, two days after learning he had cancer. He formed Motorhead in 1975 and recorded 22 albums, including the classic Ace of Spades. The band said on its Facebook page: "Our mighty, noble friend Lemmy has passed away after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer." The band added: "We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren't words." They urged fans to play Lemmy's music loud and "have a drink or few", saying: "Celebrate the life this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself. "He would want exactly that." Lemmy, who was the only constant member of Motorhead, had been diagnosed with cancer on Saturday - two days after his 70th birthday. Todd Singerman, Motorhead's manager, told the BBC News channel that Lemmy had had cancer "in his brain and neck" and that his sudden death had come as "a massive shock". He said the singer died while sitting in front of his favourite video game with his family. Singerman described Lemmy as "the pinnacle, he's up there with one of his idols, Elvis". "He was was one of the last true rock stars left, this guy lived it every day." While Lemmy was known for his hard-living lifestyle and his penchant for Jack Daniels, Singerman joked that in recent years, the frontman had "switched to vodka and orange - he thought it was healthier!" "He was one of the kindest men I ever met - he was the people's man," he added. Heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne was among those to pay tribute on social media. He tweeted: "Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. Alice Cooper said: "I will see you on the other side. When we say 'one of a kind' in rock'n'roll, Lemmy was the epitome of that - one of the most beloved characters in rock'n'roll. "I can't think of anyone who didn't adore Lemmy; you can't say 'heavy metal' without mentioning Lemmy. "Rock'n roll heaven just got heavier." Queen's Brian May described Lemmy as "our utterly unique friend". Metallica tweeted: "Lemmy, you are one of the primary reasons this band exists. We're forever grateful for all of your inspiration.'' Kiss star Gene Simmons said: "Lemmy: Rest In Peace. Shake the heavens, my friend." Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan added: "Rest In Peace Lemmy. A hell of a man who suffered no fools. "U shall be missed brother, and, THANK u 4 the years of unwavering kick ass R&R." And Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello described Lemmy as "a true rock icon". Black Sabbath founding member Geezer Butler said: "Very sad to hear of Lemmy's passing. We've lost a true, true legend. RIP." Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer added: "RIP #Lemmy heaven is Rockin tonight." And the band's Joe Perry also paid his respects on Twitter: "RIP Lemmy. A true rocker from beginning to end. We'll all see you there, soon enough." Rock band Judas Priest also paid tribute: "Words about Lemmy can never be enough so we will simply say farewell Lord Lemmy, thank you for the music, the shows." Hawkwind's Dave Brock tweeted: "Lemmy was a gentleman & a friend. I'll miss our eccentric text conversations.We had that magic when we played together.His legend lives on." Fans also left messages on Lemmy's Facebook page. Lemmy was born Ian Fraser Kilmister in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1945. He lived in Anglesey, Wales, as a child and acquired the nickname Lemmy while at school, although he claimed to have had no idea where it came from. As Lemmy of Motorhead, he became known for his fast and furious bass guitar playing and gravelly voice. Obituary: The wild life of Lemmy Your memories of Lemmy. His death comes just weeks after former Motorhead drummer Phil Taylor died at the age of 61. Ex-Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke, who played with the group between 1976 and 1982, said on Facebook: "I am devastated. We did so much together, the three of us. "The world seems a really empty place right now. I am having trouble finding the words ... He will live on in our hearts. R.I.P Lemmy!" Lemmy was credited with introducing punk sounds into the heavy metal genre - and having a wild offstage reputation. He first became involved in the Manchester music scene before going to London. There he had a stint as a roadie with Jimi Hendrix and briefly played in progressive rock band Opal Butterfly. In 1972 he joined space-rock band Hawkwind on bass but left after being busted for drug possession on a tour of Canada in 1975. Lemmy went on to form Motorhead - the name is US slang for someone who takes speed - and recorded 22 studio albums with the band between 1977 and 2015. The band achieved critical acclaim with the 1980 Ace of Spades album, which reached number four in the UK chart. They recently released Bad Magic and were set to play dates in the UK and Europe over the next few months as part of a world tour. John Robb, a musician and editor of the Louder Than War website, told the BBC: "Lemmy's voice and the sound of the bass guitar was exactly the same. "It was a fantastic bluff gruffness which is so attractive, so hypnotic. "It's a really great sound... It's a mistake to say it's just a noise because he wrote really good songs."
Music stars and celebrities have paid tribute to Motorhead frontman Lemmy, who has died at the age of 70.

Vaughan Gething told BBC Wales that the NHS will have to confront "difficult challenges" within the first part of the assembly term. Mr Gething said there were "big gains" to be made in quality, and that service change was not just about money. An extra £240m was announced for the NHS in the Welsh budget last month. Total Welsh Government spending is to rise by 2.7% to £14.95bn in 2017/18. Ministers have faced opposition in previous years over proposals to change some NHS services - such as over the moving of maternity care from Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen. On Wednesday, Mr Gething told The Wales Report on BBC One: "Local politicians often get dragged in to try to stand up for a service model that doesn't really deliver the sort of efficiency and quality that all of our citizens should be entitled to expect. "That level of innovation and reform has to be delivered otherwise we don't get to the point we can make those really difficult choices, if we ever have to, about money driving different choices in health care. "But we're not there yet." When asked if "difficult, tough choices" would have to be made soon, Mr Gething said: "I'd prefer it to happen within this term." He said he had been "really clear" with the health service about his expectations that "some of those difficult challenges are confronted and dealt within the first part of this term". "That requires a conversation within and between clinicians and a conversation with the public about why services will change," he said. "Because there's a really big gain to be made there, its not just about money. There's really big gains there in quality, outcomes and patient experience." He said part of the challenge is "how we understand, in a hospital setting, does every hospital need to do what it does at the moment?" "This is difficult for the public," he said. "Because often when we talk about moving services around, when a health board proposes, either on its own or with another health board partners to change the pattern of services, people instantly think this is about money, even if it is really about quality." Mr Gething warned that discussions would have to be had over the "limits of the health service" if there was no change in position from the UK government on public finances. "If we don't see a broader investment... then we could end up in a position where we have to have an incredibly difficult conversation about the limits of the health service and money being the driver, not simply about how we make best use of money", he said. The Wales Report, BBC One Wales, 22:40 GMT, Wednesday 9 November

They will be able to access patients' health records with their consent to provide help rather than people having to visit their GP. The Welsh government has spent £750,000 integrating technology for the service. The Choose Pharmacy service follows pilots in north Wales and the Cwm Taf health board area in south Wales. It will allow, for example, patients' hospital discharge information to be shared with a nominated pharmacy so a follow-up review can be completed by a pharmacist. Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: "Giving pharmacists access to patients' summary medical records will significantly reduce the number of people who need to be referred to GP, out-of-hours services and A&E departments. "It will free up GPs' time to focus on those people with more complex cases and reduce patient waiting times." There are more than 700 pharmacies in Wales dealing with a number of health and welfare services commissioned by the local health board. A bronze statue of Roma Jones and her sister Emma, with their sons Kyan Ishann Jones and Shaye-Jones Amin, will be put up in Centenary Square. It is part of a three-year project by Turner Prize-winning artist Gillian Wearing and the Ikon gallery to find out what it means to be a family. A campaign to raise £100,000 to build the statue has started. The family said: "We feel truly amazed and honoured to be chosen to represent what it means to be a family in Birmingham. "We feel it highlights that family is an indestructible bond between people that is universal and it doesn't matter how it is made up or what it looks like." They were chosen from a shortlist of four families by a panel of nine judges. Stuart Tulloch from the Ikon gallery said it was a "unanimous decision" to select them. "Their story is compelling and says much about contemporary Birmingham: two mixed-race sisters, both single-parents with happy, lively young boys, who identify themselves strongly with the city of their birth. "The bronze sculpture will take its place in Centenary Square near statues of kings and industrial pioneers. "In-so-doing, we draw attention to the everyday and the unsung, a lasting memorial to the people of Birmingham who are the life-blood of our city."

Freestyle hope work on Parc Kronberg in Aberystwyth, which already has planning consent, will finish by summer 2017. The firm said the community park is unique in that it will include pathways forming an entrance to the town. It follows a seven-year consultation with more than 2,000 people. About £400,000 has been confirmed in big lottery funding, with Aberystwyth Town Council providing a further £100,000. Chris Taylor from Freestyle said: "We are all just incredibly excited - it's a UK first because it's not just a skate park, it's a community park. "We have designed it in such a way that skaters, riders and the community can mix as much as they want. "The skaters wanted to be interacting, and the public wanted to be closer to the youths using it too." The project includes a play area, climbing wall, riverside viewing, cycle and footpaths and community seating areas as well as spaces for skating. The 29-year-old was hurt during a pre-season friendly against League One club Oldham Athletic on Tuesday. Scans confirmed the former Huddersfield player damaged both the medial and cruciate ligaments in his right knee. "It's a big blow for us because he's been a consistent performer for us," the Championship side's manager Simon Grayson told the club website. "It's going to be a difficult road for him, we have suffered quite a few long-term injuries really and I think the lads will get experience from other players and talk to them."

Media playback is not supported on this device Uefa general secretary Infantino, 45, is one of five candidates looking to replace Sepp Blatter on 26 February. Blatter, 79, announced in June he would resign, amid a corruption scandal at world governing body Fifa. The FA had supported ex-Uefa president Michel Platini, who in December was banned from football for eight years. Media playback is not supported on this device Both he and Blatter - who was given the same punishment - are appealing. Fifa's ethics committee found Blatter and Platini had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions over a payment made to Platini in 2011. Infantino, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne are vying to replace Blatter, who became Fifa president in 1998. Switzerland's Infantino and Sheikh Salman of Bahrain are frontrunners to win the election in Zurich. Speaking on the FA website, chairman Greg Dyke said: "We decided that we would back Gianni Infantino. "I spoke to every candidate either in person or on the phone. "We were impressed by Gianni. We were also impressed by Prince Ali but in the end we decided to go with the Uefa candidate." Last month, Infantino said he intended to include in his manifesto plans for a World Cup to be held in a whole region rather than one or two countries. Meanwhile, Dyke's proposals to reform the FA were also discussed at the board meeting on Wednesday and will be voted on in May. Dyke wants to modernise the organisation, but will stand down in the summer at the end of his four-year term because he believes his plans will be strongly opposed. BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway: "It was widely expected that the FA would back Infantino, but they did get their fingers burnt over Michel Platini - they backed him last summer before they even knew anybody else was in the race. "This time, they've been a bit more reticent, but good relations with Uefa are important to the FA, and they've gone for the man who stepped into Platini's shoes. "Infantino's camp are increasingly confident that he's got a good shot at winning the election. Voters are looking at the Swiss technocrat and wondering: 'Is he the safe choice?' Sheikh Salman has allegations hanging over his head that he was complicit in human rights abuses in Bahrain - which he vigorously denies. "It's going to be a very close vote."

The incident took place early on Monday when soldiers patrolling the area came under fire from suspected gang members, prosecutors said. Criminal organisations are known to operate in the area, in the southern part of Mexico state. This is one of the most violent clashes with drug cartels since President Enrique Pena Nieto took office in 2012. Monday's shootout took place in the municipality of Tlatlaya. Mexican authorities said that the 22 victims were probably members of La Familia Michoacana drug cartel. The criminal gang is active in neighbouring Michoacan and Guerrero states. No soldier is reported to have been injured in the incident. When Mr Pena Nieto was sworn in 19 months ago he promised to review the war on drugs policy of his predecessor, Felipe Calderon. Critics say Mr Calderon's decision to deploy the armed forces to combat the powerful drug cartels in December 2006 led to a sharp increase in violence. At least 60,000 people are estimated to have been killed in drug-related violence during his six-year term. Despite the criticism, Mr Pena Nieto's government has continued to fight the gangs. In February it managed to arrest Mexico's most wanted drug lord - Joaquin Shorty Guzman - who had evaded justice for more than a decade. Reigning champion Hamilton, 31, holds a nine-point lead over his German rival after Rosberg, also 31, was victorious in Belgium on Sunday. That ended a run of four straight wins for the British driver, who had trailed by 43 points after four races. Formula 1 heads to Italy this weekend, with eight races remaining. "I'm really enjoying the battle out there right now," said Rosberg, who is attempting to emulate his father, Keke, who won the title in 1982. "We've got several cars in the mix now which is exciting for us and the fans. I'm taking every race like a cup final." Although Rosberg equalled Hamilton's six wins for the season in Spa, the Briton had an encouraging weekend, finishing third despite starting on the back row because of a 60-place penalty. "Spa was about as good as damage limitation can get," said Hamilton. "It's game on for me now with the penalties out of the way and fresh engines ready to use. I can't wait to get back out there." The battle for the title is as tight as it has been since Hamilton and Rosberg were paired at Mercedes in 2013, with the former looking for a hat-trick of world titles. Team head Toto Wolff believes it will remain impossible to predict a winner until the end of the season. "My gut feeling is we will go long into the season before we see who comes out on top," he said.

There has been a drop of 14% in students from Wales training in medicine across the UK between 2015 and 2017. Also only 30% of students in the two Welsh medical schools are from Wales. Dr Dai Lloyd, chair of the Assembly's health committee said there was a "clear case for increasing medical school capacity within Wales". The committee has been looking at the whole issue of medical recruitment in Wales and how best to fill vacancies. It included support for students and the issue of work-life balance for medical staff. It wants universities in Wales to do more to make sure students who achieve the necessary grades from Wales secure those places. Despite some improvements, the number of Welsh students studying medicine is still lagging behind the other UK nations. There are currently two medical schools providing undergraduate medical education in Wales - Cardiff and Swansea. The former also works in partnership with the universities in Bangor and Wrexham, with hospital placements in north Wales. But there has been a drop of nearly 15% over the last two years in the number of Wales-based students applying to study medicine in the UK, a steeper decline than in other UK nations. There is also a low number of Welsh medical students staying at home to study - and there is generally a tendency for students, once qualified, to stay to work in the area where they qualify. Only 30% of Welsh medical school undergraduates were from Wales, compared to 80% in England and 55% in Scotland. The committee wants the Welsh Government and the Wales Deanery, which is responsible for medical training, to look at key pressure areas. It welcomed the Welsh Government's efforts to address recruitment issues, including the "train, work, live" campaign. But it said there was still further work to be done to address "the wide range of factors that could attract new medical staff to Wales and retain the existing workforce." The committee makes 16 recommendations in its report, including a new centre for medical education in Bangor. The findings have been welcomed by medical bodies, who gave evidence to the committee's inquiry. Vanessa Young, director of the Welsh NHS Confederation, which represents health boards, said working in Wales needed to be made as attractive as possible. "This is a country that has so much to offer in terms of career prospects and lifestyle for those working or aspiring to work in health and social care," she said. "Encouraging individuals to train in Wales so they are more likely to stay and pursue their careers here is key." Dr Charlotte Jones, chair of BMA Cymru Wales's GP committee said it had previously highlighted concerns that recruitment challenges are often more acute in more rural parts of Wales. "Therefore the committee's call to develop an action plan for rural and medical training and education is also to be welcomed," she said. Dr Gareth Llewelyn, vice president of the Royal College of Physicians in Wales said: "Implementing these recommendations will need a drastic change in mind-set and our doctors are clear that we want to work with Welsh Government and NHS Wales to improve patient care and solve this workforce crisis." He said the RCP had already highlighted a 40% vacancy rate for consultants in 2015/16. "There are ongoing major trainee rota gaps in every one of our hospitals. This cannot continue as it impacts directly on the quality and efficiency of patient care."
The number of medical school places needs to increase, including in north Wales, a cross-party committee said.

Stevie Eskinazi (66) and Dawid Malan (60) put on 124 for the third wicket and Paul Stirling (77) hit five sixes to help Middlesex recover from 2-2. But Simon Harmer (5-77) was the catalyst as the visitors slipped from 219-5 to 246 all out inside 60 overs. Essex closed on 106-0, trailing by 140 runs, as Cook (64 not out) passed 500 Championship runs for the season. Cook, who is set to play for England in the first Test against South Africa next week for the first time since relinquishing the captaincy, led the opening partnership, with fellow opener Nick Browne ending the day unbeaten on 40. Essex, who are yet to lose in the four-day game this season, were in control for much of the first day of the first day-night Championship encounter to be held at the County Ground. The visitors lost Nick Gubbins for a nine-ball duck to debutant Mohammad Amir (2-53) and Nick Compton for two to Jamie Porter (2-58) inside the first three overs. Malan, who scored 78 on his England debut in Sunday's T20 19-run victory over South Africa in Cardiff, led the Middlesex recovery and the visitors briefly looked in a good position on 126-2. But Malan's dismissal saw three wickets fall for the addition of 32 runs and the visitors were grateful to Stirling's 50-ball 77 to see them past 200. South African Harmer's third five-for in successive innings, following his 14-wicket haul against Warwickshire, helped Middlesex to within four runs of a second batting bonus point. Essex spinner Simon Harmer told BBC Radio Essex: "The seam is a little bit different. It didn't spin or turn as consistently as I thought it would, which may be played to my advantage. "There was a lot of bounce with the pink ball and it comes off the bat a lot better. All the bowlers felt there was extra bounce with it. We could have done better with the new ball, but it's going to take time to adjust. "If I hadn't dropped Stirling, Mohammad Amir would have cleaned up the tail pretty quickly. He was in a nice rhythm. Five wickets went into my column that probably should have been his. Middlesx's Paul Stirling told BBC Radio London: "We expected it to swing for a lot longer than it did and, from what we've practised with, and what the lads have experienced in the Abu Dhabi pink ball games. "We thought it would have done a lot more towards the end of the day as well, but it's done less than we thought. Harmer has been bowling well so he was going to be tricky on a pretty dry pitch. "Combating him was going to be one of the tougher asks to do and we didn't quite get it right. He was getting a lot of bounce especially from the River End. When he gets a few revs on the ball you feel it can turn. " A lorry and seven cars were involved in the accident on the A34 at Hinksey Hill, Oxford, at about 19:30 BST on Thursday. The child and a 31-year-old woman were taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, where they were described as being in a "critical" condition. Police have now said the girl died on Saturday. The woman remains in hospital where she is receiving treatment. They were travelling northbound in one of the cars when the accident happened, and the carriageway was closed for almost 10 hours. A 58-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

Maj Taj Sareen was killed when his jet came down at Temple Farm in Redmere, Cambridgeshire, on 21 October. A Marine Corps spokesman said a celebration of life ceremony was being planned in commemoration of Maj Sareen, but no date has been set for it as yet. He said the crash inquiry at the site near RAF Lakenheath "is still ongoing". A memorial page in honour of Maj Sareen, set up by his friend Capt Annie Driscoll - who served at RAF Lakenheath between 2011 and 2014, has so far raised more than $65,000 (£43,000) for his 14-month-old daughter Jade. Last week Peter Sizer said he was working in his shed with his son when the pilot crashed, just missing the building. He phoned the emergency services when he heard the explosion. "I heard a bang and saw this fireball, it was a huge shock. It was only 200m from our shed," he said. "I would say that he is a hero. He saved our lives by swerving around the shed to miss us. It makes us both feel lucky to be alive." Maj Sareen, from Hillsborough, California, was returning home from a six-month tour against Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria when the accident happened. His plane is reported to have encountered issues with refuelling before he took off from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. However, the cause of the crash will not be known until an investigation by the Marine Corps finishes in around two to three months. Mr Sizer said there has been a lot of activity on his farm, with US officials joining UK police to search the area for clues. Bill May, 36, and Christina Jones, 27, scored 88.5108 to beat favourites Russia in the 'duet technical' final, with Italy third. It was the first time male synchro swimmers had been allowed to compete at World level. "I can't believe that this moment has finally happened," May told BBC Sport. "This is the future of synchronised swimming because we've seen such strong calibre male athletes here and I really think it's going to help the sport grow." The pair are full-time Cirque du Soleil performers in the USA with May having retired over a decade ago after becoming frustrated by the lack of international competitions available for male synchronised swimmers. He and Jones only returned to the sport late last year following the decision by Fina - swimming's governing body - to allow men into the competition for the first time. Jones told the BBC earlier this month that reaching the final would be the best day of his life. "It's an event people can relate to like ballroom dancing," said Jones. "I think that the strength and power of a man is the perfect balance to a woman's qualities." The event is not yet part of the Olympic programme, but the International Olympic Committee are keen on more competitions featuring men and women meaning there is potential for inclusions come the 2020 Tokyo Games. "We want to be there, it's our dream and we want in," added May. Elsewhere, on the second day of the World Aquatics Championships in Kazan, China claimed gold in the men's synchronised 10m platform final. Mexico secured silver ahead of Russia, whilst Britain's young pair James Denny and Matty Lee were ninth in their first-ever World final together.

Geoff Ketcher from Lea, Wiltshire was "stunned" the council told him it was his responsibility. He has already installed a pump and dug trenches in his garden, in a bid to stop flood water reaching his house. Wiltshire Council told the BBC all home and landowners are responsible for maintaining such drainage ditches. Mr Ketcher, who has lived in his house for eight years, and been hit by bad flooding over the last four winters, said pumping water out of his garden had become a "daily chore". "[The council] came round and basically the advice is, I have to do it myself," he explained. "I was absolutely gobsmacked when I first heard that. I just couldn't believe it. "That is the line that they're taking at the moment - all of us have to get out there with our shovels and dig the sides of the highway." The council said if a homeowner's land boundary is next to a watercourse, it is assumed the homeowner owns the land up to the centre of the watercourse, unless it is owned by someone else. In a statement, the authority said: "Under the 1991 Land Drainage Act, ditch maintenance is the responsibility of all homeowners or landowners." But Mr Ketcher said the situation was affecting the price of his house, as well as his family's health. "You can clear this straight away but you'll go inside, have a coffee and come out, and five minutes later, it will literally be as high as it was. It takes half-an-hour to refill," he added. "Every time it rains, it's all hands to the pump. Literally. "We've already had the lounge completely redecorated. We don't want to go through that aggravation again. "My wife said she always wanted to live in a house with a moat, so we've got one for her."
A man has been forced to clear roadside drainage ditches outside his property to prevent flooding, despite them not being on his land.

Amnesty said its event in Bangalore aimed "to seek justice for human rights violations" in Kashmir. But a right-wing student group said the event was "anti-national" and filed a complaint. In February, two students were arrested in Delhi on sedition charges. Reports said some Kashmiri students started raising "anti-India" slogans after a participant praised the Indian army at the event in Bangalore. The police said it had examined unedited video footage of the meeting held on 13 August where a few participants allegedly chanted the slogans. "As things stand now, we can say prima facie that no charge of sedition can be made out against Amnesty International India. We can say that we are not getting substantive evidence to prove that charge," senior police official Charan Reddy told BBC Hindi. He said there was "some slogan shouting regarding freedom from India and we have identified some people". "We will be questioning those people. We need to await the translation by experts of the proceedings of the meeting," Mr Reddy said. More than 60 people have been killed and more than 5,000 injured in Indian-administered Kashmir in recent weeks as protesters have repeatedly clashed with the security forces. The recent upsurge in violence has been triggered by the killing of militant leader Burhan Wani. Disputed Kashmir is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan and has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years, sparking two wars between the neighbours. Within the Muslim-majority territory, some militant groups have taken up arms to fight for independence from Indian rule or a merger with Pakistan.
Police in India say they have no evidence to charge Amnesty International with sedition after some people allegedly raised "anti-India" slogans at its event recently.

Researchers discovered jaw bones and teeth, which date to between 3.3m and 3.5m years old. It means this new hominin was alive at the same time as several other early human species, suggesting our family tree is more complicated than was thought. The study is published in the journal Nature. The new species has been called Australopithecus deyiremeda, which means "close relative" in the language spoken by the Afar people. The ancient remains are thought to belong to four individuals, who would have had both ape and human-like features.. Lead researcher Dr Yohannes Haile-Selassie, curator of physical anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the US, told BBC News: "We had to look at the detailed anatomy and morphology of the teeth and the upper and lower jaws, and we found major differences. "This new species has very robust jaws. In addition, we see this new species had smaller teeth. The canine is really small - smaller than all known hominins we have documented in the past." The age of the remains means that this was potentially one of four different species of early humans that were all alive at the same time. The most famous of these is Australopithecus afarensis - known as Lucy - who lived between 2.9-3.8m years ago, and was initially thought to be our direct ancestor. However the discovery of another species called Kenyanthropus platyops in Kenya in 2001, and of Australopithecus bahrelghazali in Chad, and now Australopithecus deyiremedaI, suggests that there were several species co-existing. Some researchers dispute whether the various partial remains really constitute different species, particularly for A. bahrelghazali. But Dr Haile-Selassie said the early stage of human evolution was probably surprisingly complex. "Historically, because we didn't have the fossil evidence to show there was hominin diversity during the middle Pliocene, we thought there was only one lineage, one primitive ancestor - in this case Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy - giving rise to the next. "That hypothesis of linear evolution has to be revisited. And now with the discovery of more species, like this new one... you have another species roaming around. "What this means is we have many species that could give rise to later hominins, including our own genus Homo." Dr Haile-Selassie said that even more fossils need to be unearthed, to better understand the path that human evolution took. He added that finding additional ancient remains could also help researchers examine how the different species lived side-by-side - whether they mixed or avoided each other, and how they shared food and other resources in their landscape.

Ryan Finnerty's side will face the Stars in this weekend's quarter finals for a place in the Elite League finals weekend in Nottingham. Stewart's old team have Belfast Giants to contend with as they aim to reach the showpiece event for the second straight year. And Stewart, now head coach of Coventry Blaze, reckons the all-Scottish element to the two-legged tie will add to an already intense occasion. "Braehead have had some success in the league, but have only been at the finals once, in 2014 and having won the (Gardiner) Conference several times now, they'll want to get there," Stewart said. "Anything other than that would be a disappointment. Braehead were similar to us at Coventry in terms of inconsistency, but found better form in the second half of the season. "Offensively, they're up there and you only need to look at the scoring charts to see what they're all about. "The fact it's an all-Scottish tie certainly adds to it, having been involved in a couple of those myself and I think the outcome of the first night in Dundee will give us a tell-tale sign of where it could go. "The Stars will carry that underdog mentality. They won some big games to get through and have found some form as well as scored goals. "For them, it would be a great accomplishment. It's interesting to call, but I think Braehead may edge it, which I'll no doubt take some flak for." Stewart spent five years in Kirkcaldy as associate coach to Todd Dutiaume before leaving for Coventry last summer and helped them to two play-off weekends, in 2014 and last year. They prepare to go to Belfast on Saturday before coming back to what's expected to be a sell out crowd in the 'auld barn' on Sunday night. While Stewart thinks the Giants, who finished second in the Elite League, will have too much for Fife, he hasn't ruled them out of causing an upset. "It could be an interesting series between them and if Fife can keep it close against Belfast in the first leg, they have every chance bringing it home for the second game," he said. "I think it depends on which Fife team show up though. They had our number this year certainly and, at times, I've seen them play at another level. "With Shane Owen in the net, they certainly have a chance and the scoring they have up front is certainly as good as anyone in the league. "There's been progression in Fife year on year, including last year when they went to the play-off finals weekend. Having that experience will be a huge help. "In our case in reaching the two finals we have, we were sixth seed one year and seventh in the other and managed to overcome the second seed so that's huge on them. "The key is getting a decent result in Belfast and no doubt, getting any kind of lead to take home certainly gives you an advantage, but it's a tough place to go. "For me, it's certainly not a given, but Fife have the quality to cause an upset, but I would probably have to go with Belfast."

Sir Tony played dim-witted sidekick Baldrick in the show and cast Byrne in his Maid Marion and Her Merry Men series. He told BBC Radio 5 Live she had been like a mother to "her boys" on the Blackadder set. "Patsy was just a real confident centre of all the scenes," he said. "She had unerring skill to make the daftest, silliest thing sound absolutely real and absolutely plausible," he added. "I was so fond of her as a person and so in awe of her capabilities that when I decided I wanted to introduce a mother to Maid Marion, my first choice was Patsy. "I was thrilled that she took it. Even though she has done such grand work she came down to Minehead and rolled her sleeves up and was just one of the lads, as she always was, and did a great performance." Broadcaster and actor Stephen Fry, who played Lord Melchett alongside Byrne, tweeted: "Oh lord no! I've just heard that Patsy Byrne, darling Nursie has died. Hope St Bernard has welcomed her to eternal rest. Adorable woman." Blackadder producer John Lloyd also paid tribute to Byrne, saying she and Miranda Richardson, who played Queen Elizabeth I, were a "fantastic double act". Byrne played Nursie - the kind but dim-witted nursemaid to Elizabeth I - in the second series of BBC comedy Blackadder in 1986. "It's ironic that she will be remembered for that lovable, slightly idiotic person with that ludicrous drawl, but she was a proper actress. With the RSC, she played Chekhov opposite Rex Harrison, was incredibly well spoken, but she would put up with our little ways," he told 5 Live. "The rehearsals on Blackadder were interminable, with us changing our minds all the time and she was always on top of it and she never complained. We had famous actors walk out of rehearsals because it was such a nightmare and shambles. But with Patsy there was never a peep of complaint." Byrne died on Tuesday at Denville Hall, a retirement home for actors, in Hillingdon, north-west London. The Kent-born actress joined the Royal Shakespeare Company after drama school and took on TV and theatre roles. Her other roles included the ITV sitcom Watching and the classic police series Z Cars. She also made appearances in Holby City and I, Claudius, and played Mrs Nubbles in the BBC's 1979 adaption of The Old Curiosity Shop. Byrne's death came just over a week after Rik Mayall, who shared screen time with her as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder, died suddenly at his home in London. Blackadder ran for four series between 1983 and 1989 - with writing credits shared between Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. The comedy followed the exploits of Atkinson's Blackadder character through various historical periods.

Police were made aware of alleged racial abuse at around 07:40 BST on a tram travelling towards the city centre after a video was posted online. Two men, aged 20 and 18 and a 16-year-old boy, were detained on suspicion of affray, Greater Manchester Police said. The video shows a man on a tram at Shudehill being called "an immigrant" and told "get back to Africa". Footage indicates that the man targeted then retorted with: "How old are you? Are you 18, 19? You are extremely ignorant and not very intelligent. Do you know that?" One of the men continued to shout "get off the tram now", as he spoke. One of the group, who were holding beer bottles, then apparently approaches the man and flicks alcohol at him, as a passenger shouted: "There's a baby there - there's absolutely no need for that". As the youths got off, the victim said to himself: "Seven years in the military," as other commuters told the three, "You are an absolute disgrace. A disgrace to England". Police said the suspects were being held in custody for questioning. It tells the story of the game between the two counties on 1 September 1939 - the day Germany invaded Poland. "I have always been fascinated by cricket and history," said playwright Colin Philpott. "It must have been very surreal to have been there that day." No first-class cricket was played on English soil during World War Two. The play centres on cricketer Hedley Verity, who played for Yorkshire from 1930 until 1939 and appeared in 40 Test matches for England. He joined the Green Howards regiment and died in 1943 from wounds sustained during the Allied invasion of Sicily. "Despite the fact that other county games elsewhere were called off, the cricketers of Sussex and Yorkshire decided to carry on - mainly because it was the benefit match of one of the Sussex players," said documentary maker Mr Philpott. "It turned out to be a fairly remarkable day of cricket as well. "Hedley Verity turned in some astonishing figures of seven [wickets] for nine [runs], Sussex were bowled out for 33 and Yorkshire won." The play, which has been funded by the Arts Council England, is being performed at Newhaven Fort in East Sussex. On Saturday it will be at Sussex County Cricket Ground in Hove, and on 1 September at Yorkshire's ground at Headingley. "The main reason we are doing it at Newhaven Fort is that there is a Romney hut there which looks quite 1930s, so that seemed a really great venue to do it," said Mr Philpott. "But, of course, the county ground is the iconic venue that is relevant to this story so we are looking forward to doing it there." The Welsh Retail Consortium said footfall grew by 4.5% in April compared to the same month last year. But there was also an increase in empty stores - rising to 12.9%, up from 12.5% in January. The UK average was 9.3%. The consortium said the results were "a mixed bag for Welsh retailers". Numbers visiting the High Street in April were above the three-month average of 3.3% and the 12-month average of 1.3%. Sara Jones, the consortium's head of policy and external affairs, said: "With shopper numbers rising across all destinations - high street, retail park and shopping centre - confidence will be growing amongst retailers. "The Easter period will no doubt have had a positive impact, with shoppers making the most of the holiday period to visit Welsh stores." She added that the "challenge" was ensuring footfall growth was "sustained and improved upon".

Authorities will now consider whether Johnny Small, 43, should face a second trial in the 1988 murder of Pam Dreher. Judge W Douglas Parsons ruled that there was not enough evidence to convict Small. He also found that during the 1989 trial witnesses lied and police withheld key evidence. On his first night in nearly 30 years outside of prison, Small slept on a cousin's sofa. After years of sleeping in cell, he preferred sleeping in the open living room, rather than a smaller private bedroom. "There's a lot I've got to adapt to," said Small who was first jailed when he was 16 years old. "I don't know how to function. I mean, when I came into it (prison) I was still a kid and in a way I still got a kid's state of mind." Small will be under electronic house arrest until prosecutors either press for a new trial, or drop the charges. Judge Parsons' decision came after a friend of Small recanted the testimony he gave against him during the 1989 murder trial. David Bollinger claimed that he has been pressured by a homicide investigator and family member to lie about driving Small to the scene of the murder. Dreher was found dead in her tropical fish store. Police had said that Small shot and killed Dreher during a robbery. Small has always maintained his innocence. Another witness account was also proven inaccurate. Nina Raiford claimed to have been walking past Dreher's shop and witnessed Small leaving the store. However her work timecards showed she was elsewhere. She also had not come forward with her claim until after a cash reward had been offered, and she learned about the crime through news reports. Robert Jones was jailed for life when the real killer had already been convicted. Read his story - TAP HERE.

However, UK Sport felt GB players - who claimed four European medals last week - were not "credible" Tokyo 2020 medal prospects and cut all support. "A little public support could make a big difference," said Rajiv Ouseph. UK Sport's funding cut - announced in late 2016 - came into effect on 1 April. The crowdfunding campaign has been launched by Badminton England - from which the majority of the British squad are drawn. The cut resulted in half of the 24-strong England Badminton player squad leaving, while 13 staff members - including physiotherapists and doctors - lost their jobs. "Personally, there aren't as many players around for me to play with now and most of the support staff we've had in place have left, so any help would be massive," European singles champion Ouseph told BBC Sport. The team's performance director Jon Austin admits delivering the news to the squad was one of the most difficult moments of his career. "It was a decision which could potentially end people's dreams and careers and I broke down in front of the players and staff having to do that," he said. "I still feel the decision [by UK Sport] was unjust, but we are trying to move forwards and the crowdfunding is designed to best support those that remain in the programme going forwards." Commonwealth champions Chris and Gabby Adcock - who claimed a maiden European gold medal last week - believe the British results at the event in Denmark prove the potential in the squad. "It's been a tough time for the team, no-one is denying that, but everyone has been really resilient and stuck together throughout," Gabby Adcock told BBC Sport. "Being an athlete is a rollercoaster and UK Sport is just another bump in the road so we won't let it distract from our goals and the big things that we want to achieve." Chris Adcock added: "Everyone is fighting and we will find a way to succeed."

The three belong to a criminal gang in the north-western state of Sinaloa, police said. They confessed to killing the two tourists when the pair fought back during an attempted robbery. Forensic experts are carrying out DNA tests to confirm the identity of the two charred bodies found in the Australians' burnt-out van. Two other men who took part in the killings are still at large, prosecutors said. The three men detained have been identified as Julio Cesar Muniz, accused of leading a local drug trafficking gang, Martin Rogelio Munoz and Sergio Simon Benitez. They said they shot two foreign tourists and set fire to the bodies and the van. Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas, both 33, were last seen alive in the night of 20 November in the town of Topolobampo. The burn-out vehicle found on a road in Sinaloa last month was the white Canadian van that belonged to Mr Coleman, Sinaloa Prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera confirmed. They were living in Edmonton, Canada and had driven down to Mexico for a surfing trip. Sinaloa state has been plagued by violence in recent decades, much of it linked to drug cartels battling to control the illegal drugs trade from South America to the United States.

The 42-year-old was appointed on 30 October with the club bottom of the Championship table, where they stayed for the rest of the season. The ex-Newcastle midfielder won three of the 33 games during his tenure. In a statement, the club wished Clark well for the future and said they are in the process of compiling a shortlist as they search for a replacement. The Seasiders' relegation was confirmed on 6 April and their last game of the season was abandoned following a pitch invasion by disgruntled fans. Clark said: "After a great deal of thought I have come to the decision that it is not in the best interests of either myself or Blackpool that I continue as manager. "I have therefore tendered my resignation to the chairman, which he has accepted." Blackpool have had a miserable season, collecting just 25 points from their 45 games before their final match of the campaign. They had only eight professionals under contract two weeks before their first game of the campaign, and sacked manager Jose Riga after just four months in charge. Clark replaced the Belgian, but the former Birmingham and Huddersfield boss could not lift them off the bottom of the league. Off the pitch, supporters engaged in several protests about the way the club is run by the Oyston family. They culminated in a 2,000-strong demonstration outside Bloomfield Road, followed by a pitch invasion, at the final game of the season against Huddersfield. Three men reportedly approached a barrier at the entrance to the temple complex on Wednesday morning. When confronted by police, one of the attackers detonated an explosive belt he was wearing. A second was shot dead and a third severely wounded. Two civilians and two policemen were injured but no tourists were hurt.

The bronze statue - a tribute to Danish storywriter Hans Christian Andersen - is perched on a rock in the harbour and attracts millions of visitors. During the festivities, boy guards sang birthday songs at a children's concert and a parade was held. One-hundred women swam around the statue in the harbour. They later formed a big "100" in the water. Body-painted "mermaids" also posed in front of other world-famous landmarks, from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the Sydney Opera House. The Little Mermaid draws more than a million visitors a year and has been repeatedly vandalised. It has been beheaded twice, lost an arm and been daubed with paint at least seven times. In 2010, it was exhibited at the Shanghai World Expo. The Little Mermaid is based on a fairytale character created in 1837 by Andersen. In the story, a sea king's daughter falls in love with a prince, but has to wait 300 years to turn from mermaid into human. The statue was created by sculptor Edward Eriksen and presented to the city of Copenhagen in 1913. The 41-year-old victim was attacked by a group in Castlebay Street, in the Milton area, at about 19:30 on Tuesday. Police said the attackers then made off in three cars which were seen being driven erratically from the scene. Detectives have appealed for information over the attack which they described as "completely unprovoked". They have not ruled out that the victim was targeted for some reason. Det Con Geraldine Josey said: "It may well be that this man was targeted for some reason, however, it does seem to have been a completely unprovoked attack. "I am keen to hear from anyone who may have been in Castlebay Street around this time and who can help us trace those involved in this attack." It is not known how many people were involved in the attack. The Bears wasted a chance to clinch a quarter-final place in their 74-run defeat by Northamptonshire on Tuesday. "It wasn't a great effort," 34-year-old Bell told BBC WM. "When we're good, we're very good and when we're bad, we're very bad. We have some class players, it's just not quite happening at the minute." After ending a three-game losing run against Leicestershire on Sunday, the Bears knew another win at Wantage Road would seal their spot in the last eight of the competition, which they won in 2014.. But Bell felt his side did not do enough to get themselves in the game. "We weren't aggressive enough," he said. "We eased our way in and you need to hunt for wickets and I didn't feel we did that. I thought 200 was gettable." Their pursuit of 201 for victory never got going despite Bell's 63 and they subsided from 60 for no wicket to 126 all out. It was the second major collapse in three games after the Bears lost nine for 35 in a five-wicket defeat by Worcestershire. "It's a major concern, towards the back end we're just not getting those partnerships," Bell added. "But I have full belief in the group - we are a very good side and have proven that. I think we can beat any team in the county but our consistency is not quite there." The Bears still have two chances to qualify for the quarter-finals by winning either of their last two group games - against Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston on Friday, or away at Lancashire a week later. The owners of 18-year-old George, who lives in Llanrwst in the Conwy Valley, were searching for him for more than a month before he turned up on a doorstep in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.

Speaking at an anti-corruption event in London, Mr Buhari said he was more interested in the return of stolen assets held in British banks. Mr Cameron made the unguarded comments in a conversation with the Queen. He is hosting an international anti-corruption summit on Thursday. Mr Buhari's address at the anti-corruption event at the Commonwealth Secretariat in London followed a statement from his office on Wednesday, saying that he had been "deeply shocked and embarrassed" by Mr Cameron's remarks. Asked if Nigeria was "fantastically corrupt", in an echo of the prime minister's comments, Mr Buhari responded: "Yes." Speaking to the BBC, Mr Buhari said what the new Nigerian government found when it came to power proved Mr Cameron was right. "He was telling the truth. He was talking about what he knew," Mr Buhari said. Nigeria was ranked 136 out of 167 countries in Transparency International's 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index. Two recent cases have illustrated the astonishing scale of corruption facing the country. Last week, Nigerian Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo said that an estimated $15bn (£10bn) of government money had been stolen through corrupt arms contracts under the previous government. And in March, an official audit found that Nigeria's state-owned oil company had failed to pay the government $25bn in a suspected fraud. In his speech, the Nigerian leader described corruption as a "hydra-headed monster" which threatened the security of countries and "does not differentiate between developed and developing countries". He said corruption in Nigeria was endemic and his government was committed to fighting it. Mr Buhari praised the UK government for its help in efforts to repatriate stolen funds held in the UK. He cited the case of disgraced Nigerian state governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who fled the UK disguised as a woman while on bail for corruption charges. British police found £1m ($1.8m)-worth of cash in his London home in 2005 and subsequently charged him with laundering a total of £1.8m. "What would I do with an apology? I need something tangible," Mr Buhari said, referring to efforts to recover the money. The UK government will host world and business leaders at the summit on Thursday in London, aiming to "galvanise a global response to tackle corruption". Speaking ahead of the summit, Mr Cameron said: "For too long there has been a taboo about tackling this issue head-on. "The summit will change that. Together we will push the fight against corruption to the top of the international agenda where it belongs." Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International has criticised Mr Cameron's comments, accusing the UK of being part of the problem by "providing a safe haven for corrupt assets" at home and in its overseas territories. Mr Buhari echoed these concerns in his address, quoting from a previous study into corruption in the country's oil sector. "Nigerian crude oil is being stolen on an industrial scale and exported, with the proceeds laundered through world financial centres by transnational organised criminals," he said.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says he is not demanding "any apology from anybody" after UK Prime Minister David Cameron labelled his country "fantastically corrupt".

Analysis by accountancy group Ernst & Young (E&Y) estimates the event will attract more overseas visitors than any previous Rugby World Cup, with those visitors spending significant sums on the host economy - from tickets to travel costs, accommodation, match-day entertainment, and visiting other tourist attractions. The cup, being held in cities across England, and one in Wales, could deliver up to £2.2bn to the host economy, says E&Y, a tournament supplier. Meanwhile, the six-week long event should provide opportunities for businesses involved in everything from kit and equipment etc, while the commercial department at the Rugby Football Union (RFU), the tournament's host association, will also be looking for new potential partnerships. The RFU's chief executive Ian Ritchie, and the man responsible for making the tournament run smoothly, tells the BBC website that he expects to see big benefits on and off the playing field. "This Rugby World Cup is undoubtedly the biggest ever in terms of viewers, people coming to see games, people watching on television, and therefore is the ultimate showcase for the game," says Mr Ritchie, who has been at the helm at Twickenham for more than three years. "Anybody who is connected with the business of rugby is going to have more eyeballs, more people looking, watching, and that has to be great for business. "And it is great for business as well - from an economic impact point of view here in the UK it is going to generate over £2.2bn here, but it will [also] generate internationally, I think, some fantastic revenue for rugby." Mr Ritchie says the RFU is looking at up to half a million people coming from overseas to attend games and spend time in the 10 different host cities across England, and Cardiff in Wales. "What they do is they spend accordingly... and there are gaps in between games, so from a tourism point of view its extremely positive," he says. "Each city is organising fan zones, activities around the event itself, which will all add to the economic impact, which is very positive." To secure the right to host the World Cup, the RFU had to give World Rugby, the global governing body, an £80m financial guarantee. "As far as World Rugby is concerned, the Rugby World Cup is all about garnering money, [and] the profit from the event will go directly into global investment in rugby to grow the game," says Mr Ritchie, who was previously chief executive of the All-England Lawn Tennis Club for six years. In England the number of adults playing rugby in England dipped in 2013, but bounced back a bit last year. "We (the RFU) have three objectives for the tournament," says Mr Ritchie. One - to be a great host, welcoming everybody who is coming. Secondly we want to do well in the tournament, obviously we would love to win it. Thirdly, it is about growing participation in rugby." He said the event was a great tool for selling the sport to a new generation of children, and encouraging them to play, as well as hopefully convincing more adults to get involved as players, coaches, referees, or general volunteers. "I think rugby is a great game, everybody can play of all shapes and sizes, we've had a great growth in women's rugby, in sevens, in touch, in variations," he says. Mr Ritchie says that strong ticket sales for the event, means that the event should be economically successful for the RFU, and provide it with strong revenues for putting back into the grassroots game, and for growing the sport in England, beyond its current geographic heartlands. He adds: "But most importantly I think it is going to grow the game around the world, because hundreds of millions of people will be watching on TV." He says that while the biggest Rugby World Cup should "inevitably" result in greater participation globally, the biggest challenge, "which we have all got to plan for, is then continuing that over the next year or two". "I think you will always see a short-term blip in participation, certainly here we have been planning for this for the last three years, and you have got to have the schemes in place to have sustainable growth," he adds. However, the 61-year-old believes that the sport's participation, in the form of rugby sevens - the seven-a-side version of the game - in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio should help keep the ball rolling. "To have the sevens in the Olympics for the first time is a tremendous spurt for the game and will create a lot of that interest. This is a [format of the] game that all shapes and sizes can play, you don't have to be 6 feet 5 inches and 18 stone, you can be much smaller, nippier, it is a great game for children." He adds: "It is very interesting in sevens that you see [national] Olympic committees who are investing in their sevens setup, sometimes countries that are not well known for playing rugby. "And that is the pull and the delight of the Olympics, and certainly we have seen some of our sevens [players] transitioning into 15 [a-side] as well." Meanwhile, the former barrister remains aware of the financial as well as sporting impetus of the World Cup. "I think one of the great things is finding [business] partners to invest in the sport, and we have our partners, World Rugby do, and there is a great opportunity to do a lot of business around here," says Mr Ritchie. "Most of the major companies in the world have a connection with rugby and we want that to grow, and to grow in partnership. So at what is the best showcase for the game you'd hope to do a little business as well and I am sure we will."
The 2015 Rugby World Cup is a crucial showpiece not only for growing the sport in the UK and internationally, but the tournament also provides a window of opportunity for business and economic spin-offs from the event.

The tracks were left by two dinosaurs more than 110 million years ago. Seventy years ago, the whole trackway was removed from the river bed and divided into blocks, which were moved to different locations for study. Some of these blocks have been lost, but the team managed to use old photographs to reconstruct the site. The research is published in the journal Plos One. Lead researcher Peter Falkingham, from the Royal Veterinary College, said he and his colleagues had used just 17 photographs taken by American palaeontologist Roland T Bird, who first excavated the site in 1940. The tracks are from two dinosaurs, a large, herbivorous sauropod, and a carnivorous theropod - the group of top predators to which Tyrannosaurus rex belonged. "In some places the theropod tracks are in the sauropod tracks," said Dr Falkingham. "[This means] the theropod came after. So Bird interpreted this as a theropod chasing a sauropod." Bird also drew maps of the whole site in the Paluxy River in Texas. But since then, some of the blocks the trackway was divided into have been lost. This study allowed the entire 45m (147ft) "chase scene" to be seen as a whole once again for the first time since it was removed from the site. The team used a technique known as photogrammetry - scanning and combining the photographs to build a digital model of the site. "We now have the whole trackway in context in a single piece," said Dr Falkingham. The method, he said, was already commonly used to make such models. But this advance took the technique a step further, in a way that could prove very useful to palaeontologists. Dr Falkingham said: "Here we're showing that you can do this to lost or damaged specimens or even entire sites if you have photographs taken at the time. "And that means we can reconstruct digitally, and 3D print, objects that no longer exist." Dr Paul Barrett, a dinosaur expert from London's Natural History Museum, said this was a "neat study". "It has allowed the [team] to recover important data previously thought to be irrevocably lost," he told BBC News. "These dinosaur track sites are of major historical importance, and being able to retrieve this level of information 70 years after they were broken up and dispersed is a nice outcome." The City of Lincoln Council has published details of its planned development, known as the Western Growth Corridor. The proposals also include new road connections and retail units. The new stadium would seat about 2,000 extra football fans compared to the current Sincil Bank ground. An application for outline planning permission, which scopes out the broad layout, is to be submitted in October after a period of consultation.

He told the BBC:"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race." His warning came in response to a question about a revamp of the technology he uses to communicate, which involves a basic form of AI. But others are less gloomy about AI's prospects. The theoretical physicist, who has the motor neurone disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is using a new system developed by Intel to speak. Machine learning experts from the British company Swiftkey were also involved in its creation. Their technology, already employed as a smartphone keyboard app, learns how the professor thinks and suggests the words he might want to use next. Prof Hawking says the primitive forms of artificial intelligence developed so far have already proved very useful, but he fears the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans. "It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate," he said. "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded." But others are less pessimistic. "I believe we will remain in charge of the technology for a decently long time and the potential of it to solve many of the world problems will be realised," said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot. Cleverbot's software learns from its past conversations, and has gained high scores in the Turing test, fooling a high proportion of people into believing they are talking to a human. Mr Carpenter says we are a long way from having the computing power or developing the algorithms needed to achieve full artificial intelligence, but believes it will come in the next few decades. "We cannot quite know what will happen if a machine exceeds our own intelligence, so we can't know if we'll be infinitely helped by it, or ignored by it and sidelined, or conceivably destroyed by it," he says. But he is betting that AI is going to be a positive force. Prof Hawking is not alone in fearing for the future. In the short term, there are concerns that clever machines capable of undertaking tasks done by humans until now will swiftly destroy millions of jobs. In the longer term, the technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has warned that AI is "our biggest existential threat". In his BBC interview, Prof Hawking also talks of the benefits and dangers of the internet. He quotes the director of GCHQ's warning about the net becoming the command centre for terrorists: "More must be done by the internet companies to counter the threat, but the difficulty is to do this without sacrificing freedom and privacy." He has, however, been an enthusiastic early adopter of all kinds of communication technologies and is looking forward to being able to write much faster with his new system. But one aspect of his own tech - his computer generated voice - has not changed in the latest update. Prof Hawking concedes that it's slightly robotic, but insists he didn't want a more natural voice. "It has become my trademark, and I wouldn't change it for a more natural voice with a British accent," he said. "I'm told that children who need a computer voice, want one like mine." Gary Whyte's property in Cowdenbeath was searched after wildlife officers were told of tiger claws being put up for sale on an online auction site. The 50-year-old was convicted under the Control of Trade in Endangered Species Regulation, and has been ordered to carry out 250 hours unpaid work. He was sentenced at Dunfermline Sheriff Court. PC Lindsay Kerr, of Police Scotland, said: "Whyte stood to make a significant profit from the sale of these tiger claws, the sale of which is a contravention of endangered species legislation. "As soon as Police Scotland became aware of the items being illegally offered for purchase online, a robust investigation was launched, which resulted in Whyte being convicted in October. "The sale of endangered animal parts will not be tolerated and anyone involved in such activities can expect to be dealt with by police."

Theresa May has said that the UK is "enriched by the best minds from Europe and around the world". She states that providing reassurance to them and to UK scientists working in Europe will be a "priority". Mrs May's comments were made in a letter seen by BBC News that was written five days after she became PM. The Prime Minister wrote to one of the country's leading scientists, Professor Sir Paul Nurse, who is director of the Francis Crick Institute in London and a former president of the Royal Society. In the letter she states: "I wanted to write to you to make clear that the Government's ongoing commitment to science and research remains steadfast". She adds that her government is committed to protecting science and research funding in real terms. Mrs May also tells the Nobel Prize winner that the reorganisation of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy "does not signal any reduction in the very high priority I attach to teaching and research". And crucially on Brexit she says: "I would like to reassure you about the government's commitment to ensuring a positive outcome for UK science as we exit the European Union. While we negotiate a new relationship with our European partners, we are not turning our backs on European scientists." The UK receives £850m in research funds from the European Union each year. Full membership of one of the main EU funding programmes requires free movement of labour. British universities employ 30,000 scientists with EU citizenship. There have already been reports of UK scientists losing out in EU grant applications and of EU citizens not taking up posts in UK universities because of the uncertainty around funding and the residency status of EU citizens following the referendum result last month. Five days after the result Sir Paul said: "For science to thrive it must have access to the single market, and we do need free movement." Mrs May's letter does not offer those commitments but Sir Paul said he was heartened to see that she wrote to him within days of taking office. Sir Paul told BBC News: "The letter from the prime minister supporting science was most welcome and we look forward to working with her to achieve the best future for British science, which is crucial for the future of the UK." A copy of the letter was sent to the President of the Royal Society Prof Venki Ramkrishanan, who also welcomed the fact that the prime minister is aware of the important of scientific research to the UK "These are uncertain times, so having the new prime minister making such a positive commitment to science is very encouraging. She not only reaffirms the government's financial support for science at home but also to ensuring a positive outcome for science in the Brexit negotiations. I am looking forward to working with her and her colleagues to turn these words into action." Follow Pallab on Twitter

The left-back will move to Pittodrie in a three-year deal when the transfer window opens in June. The 23-year old opted to join his home-town club despite offers from English Championship clubs. Shinnie has been at Caley Thistle since 2009 and has made more than 160 appearances, and has been capped twice for Scotland Under-21s. Aberdeen may have preferred Shinnie to join them in the current transfer window. Their left-back Clark Robertson is injured, and Andrew Considine, who had been playing in that position, has been moved to central defence because of injuries to Ash Taylor and Russell Anderson, with winger Jonny Hayes moving back to cover. Philip Nell, a fund director at Hermes, said there had been "a massive over-reaction to what's been going on over the last two weeks". Mr Nell used to run the Aviva property fund that closed its doors along with five other funds this week. Henderson, Canada Life and Threadneedle became the latest on Wednesday. Other experts said it was "too early to call Armageddon" in the housing market. "Fundamentally I think there's a fear factor and a liquidity concern: How quickly can I liquidate assets if I need to?" said Mr Nell. On Wednesday, the Bank of England acted to calm the markets by giving banks more freedom to lend money, including to mortgage customers. But that has not been sufficient to assuage concerns about property prices. Mr Nell said he believed commercial property prices would fall, but was not able to say by how much. "I think there is a reason for them to fall. I think the pressure on rent will probably drop. I think tenant demand will fall off, broadly, for office space in London." As far as the residential market is concerned, the Bank of England has voiced particular concern about buy-to-let investors, who represent 17% of borrowers. But Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics), played down such worries for the moment. Speaking at a Rics conference, he said, "The concern at the Bank of England is that investors might all rush for the door at the same time. We might think differently in this room." The latest Rics survey- taken before the EU referendum vote - suggested that prices were expected to fall anyway over the next three months, with house price inflation dropping to the low single digits by the end of the year. "A period of slow house price inflation is no bad thing," said Mr Rubinsohn. "But my bigger concern is that we are seeing a slow-down in activity." He also said he was concerned about the attitude of High Street banks, which have become increasingly reliant on mortgage lending. "Will mortgage lenders want to lend, given they have so much lending already on their books?" He is also worried about whether developers will slow down building projects, as a result of falls in their share prices. Shares in Persimmon, for example, have fallen 38% since the referendum. Most experts agree that the uncertainty about the UK economy will have a negative impact on house prices in the months ahead. But Lucian Cook, head of UK residential research at Savills, believes cheap borrowing costs will support prices. "It's far too early to be calling Armageddon," he said. "The fundamental is that we remain in a low interest rate environment." Some economists are expecting the Bank of England to cut rates in both July and August. However, mortgage rates - with the exception of tracker mortgages - may not necessarily get any cheaper. In the short term, Mr Cook expects prices to ebb and flow along with the news about the UK's negotiations with the EU. "Buyer sentiment will be fragile," he said. "The question is, how long will that sentiment last?" Meanwhile, Philip Nell is adamant that falls in commercial property prices will not affect house prices. "I don't expect there to be a significant sell-off of housing. I think house price growth will tail off, but I don't expect it to go negative."

It says the yeast-based product is contributing to anti-social behaviour in some remote communities. Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion described the salty spread as a "precursor to misery". He said it was being bought in bulk to make moonshine. Brewer's yeast is a key ingredient in the spread and is used in the production of beer and ale. In communities where alcohol is banned because of addiction problems, Mr Scullion said Vegemite sales should also be restricted. "Businesses in these communities... have a responsibility to report any purchase that may raise their own suspicions," he said. The minister added that in some cases, children were failing to turn up to school because they were too hung-over, and that Vegemite was an increasingly common factor in domestic violence cases. But Dr John Boffa of the People's Alcohol Action Coalition, who is based in Alice Springs, in Australia's Northern Territory, says the problem is not widespread. "We're talking about an isolated problem in a couple of communities around a very large nation, and a nation where there is a very large number of Aboriginal communities, and every community is different," he told the BBC. He said there might be a need for some local initiatives, but that these should be initiated by the communities themselves. Vegemite started as a war-time substitute for Marmite, and is now something of an Australian culinary icon, says the BBC's Jon Donnison in Sydney.
Australia's government says some communities should consider limiting the sale of the popular Vegemite spread because it is being used to make alcohol.

Exeter wing Nowell twisted his knee against Gloucester, while Saracens lock Kruis was concussed against Harlequins and taken off on a stretcher. But, in front of new England boss Eddie Jones, Tuilagi came off the bench for Leicester as they beat Northampton. Saints hooker Dylan Hartley missed the game because of a "bang to the ribs". England's Six Nations campaign begins against Scotland on 6 February and Jones is due to reveal his first England elite squad squad since taking over from Stuart Lancaster on Wednesday. He now has more injury worries to add to centre Henry Slade, back row Dave Ewers, lock Ed Slater, prop Kieran Brookes and wing Jonny May, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Nowell injured his knee in the 19-10 victory over the luckless May's club, Gloucester, although the extent of the injury is not yet known. Exeter backs coach Ali Hepher said Nowell had picked up a "twisted knee" and would be "assessed in the week", but added: "Sometimes the least painful ones can be the longest out." Kruis was struck by the swinging arm of James Horwill just 90 seconds into the 29-23 defeat by Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop and was tended to by medics for eight minutes before being carried off on a stretcher. Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "George is fine. There is nothing wrong other than the concussion. He was knocked out. He'll do the normal checks." He will now be assessed ahead of Saturday's Champions Cup match with Ulster. Tuilagi played his first game since suffering a serious groin injury in October 2014. The 24-year-old managed 20 minutes after coming on in the second half of the thrilling 30-27 win against Northampton. He was a late inclusion on the Leicester bench, with his appearance in the match-day squad only announced less than an hour before kick-off as Leicester looked to dampen down excitement ahead of his return. And Leicester boss Richard Cockerill urged caution over the block-busting centre's fitness for the Six Nations opener at Murrayfield. He said: "I will speak to Eddie [Jones] in the next few days. Manu will keep improving, but the start of the Six Nations is unrealistic because we need to make sure he is 100% right." Northampton hooker Hartley, a contender for the England captaincy, was forced to withdraw from the Saints replacements shortly before the game with a rib injury. Northampton boss Jim Mallinder said: "He got a bang to his ribs last week. He trained a little bit in the week but at the last minute, he was just too sore to play today. He is not going to be out for a long time."
England pair Jack Nowell and George Kruis were both injured on Saturday, but Manu Tuilagi returned to action after well over a year out injured.

They say migration targets should be reclassified and students should have visitor status and be able to work after graduating. The Home office says all immigrants in the UK affect communities, housing and public services and should be included in net migration figures. But the report argues international students are made to feel "unwelcome". The research was commissioned by London First, an organisation representing businesses in London and the accountancy firm PwC. Students who responded to the study came from about 70 countries and attended 10 of the 39 higher education institutions in London. As well as contributing to the economy, the study says, international students "support nearly 70,000 jobs" because of the money they spend in the city. But, a vast majority of the students said it was difficult for them to secure work after they had finished their courses because of the complex immigration system. Jo Valentine, chief executive of London First said: "International students are made to feel unwelcome because of the anti-immigration rhetoric," and because they are included in the government's net migration targets. "Students' expenditure here is a modern-day export: they pay substantial fees and contribute significantly to consumer spending." Calculations by the research team show, they say, that international students do not burden public services. Their figures show that while international students contribute a "total of £2.8bn" through the spending they bring to the country, they consume £540m in public spending, including the NHS. Julia Onslow-Cole at PwC said: "While politicians recognise the importance of international students, there has been considerable debate over their economic value. "This is the first study to quantify the benefits of student migration. "We need more hard data like this to inform immigration policies and targets." Immigration minister James Brokenshire said: "The government will pursue further reforms to tackle abuse while continuing to attract the brightest and the best to our world-class universities." "The latest figures show this strategy is working - university applications from overseas students are up by 18% since 2010."
International students coming to London contribute £2.3bn towards the economy, according to a report.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Manchester United midfielder played at Everton for Moyes, who then took him to Old Trafford in 2013. Sunderland's boss suggested the door would be "wide open" for players of that quality to come to the club. "I'd love to have that level of player," said the Scot. "Realistically, that's probably not going to happen." Sunderland have yet to make a senior signing this summer, partly because of the uncertainty surrounding Sam Allardyce, who eventually left to become England manager last month. "We've got bids in for players just now," said the 53-year-old Moyes, who signed a four-year contract on 23 July. "We're trying to strengthen the squad and I'm hopeful some of them will come off. In this market at the moment, you just never know." Moyes takes over a club that have finished in the Premier League's bottom eight in all but one of the nine seasons since they were promoted from the Championship in 2007. He believes that Sunderland can become a regular presence in the top half of the table but has acknowledged that it will take time. "It wouldn't be outrageous to see Sunderland being a regular top-10 team, but for some reason it hasn't happened," he said. "We need to do the work, get it right and give everybody something to shout about. We have to feel that we're not in this league just to survive every year."
Sunderland need to make significant progress before they can attract players of the calibre of Marouane Fellaini, says new boss David Moyes.

DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian made international headlines in 2012 when a nurse who fell for their prank later killed herself. The High Court overturned a previous decision which cleared 2Day FM. The station could now be fined or see its licence suspended or revoked. 2Day FM said Wednesday's decision "means that there is a serious defect in Australian broadcasting law". The High Court ruling upheld an earlier finding by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) that the station broke the law by not obtaining consent to air the call from either of the hospital staff featured. Ms Greig and Mr Christian called King Edward VII's Hospital in London on December 2012 pretending to be the Queen and Prince Phillip. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, 46, answered the call and transferred it to a colleague, who gave details of the duchess's condition. Following widespread media coverage Mrs Saldanha was found hanged three days later. ACMA had ruled in November 2013, nearly a year after the prank took place, that the radio station had broken the law by broadcasting the call. But the station successfully sued the ACMA in the Federal Court, arguing that the media watchdog did not have the authority to decide whether a criminal offence had been committed and overturned its decision. Wednesday's High Court ruling reverses that Federal Court decision, finding that the ACMA does have that power. The authority can now decide whether to issue a penalty to the station of a fine or suspension of licence. In February 2013, the UK's Crown Prosecution Service said there was no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter against the two DJs. At an inquest into Mrs Saldana's death, Coroner Fiona Wilcox concluded that the hoax call had been "clearly pressing on her mind" but that she had had "appropriate" support from the hospital.
Australia's High Court has upheld a ruling that a radio station broke the law by airing a hoax call to a hospital which was treating the Duchess of Cambridge for morning sickness.

About 12,000 amateur riders set off from Cardiff on a 140km (87m) route, taking in views of Newport, Usk, the Brecon Beacons, Pontypool, Newbridge and Caerphilly before returning to the capital. Following on their heels were the professionals on a 194km (120m) race. There were extensive road closures to ensure the safety of the riders. Last year's event saw cyclists forced to carry their bikes for a time after a small amount of tacks were discovered on the route. The event also made changes this time around, following criticism by some MPs and others last year about long road closures, a lack of information, and the effect on businesses. Last year there were two routes, of 50km (31m) and 140km, but this weekend only the longer one remains. Matt Newman, who has helped deliver Velothon Wales 2016, said organisers hoped the event would help boost the Welsh tourism industry. "We hope this will provide a welcome boost to business all along the route and the surrounding areas," he said.

Janet Warin, 67, from Pickering, North Yorkshire, is honoured for her work with a project which educates young people about driving safely. She is also honoured for her community volunteer work. Also honoured in North Yorkshire is Hillsborough campaigner Trevor Hicks, from Giggleswick near Settle, who becomes a CBE. Mr Hicks' daughters Sarah, 19, and Victoria, 15, were among the 96 people who died at the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989. Mrs Warin said working with the Drive Alive campaign, run by North Yorkshire County Council, helped honour her son Daniel's memory. "We decided to make something good out of an awful tragedy. We are part of a whole day of events and we've spoken to around 32,000 students since we started all those years ago," she said. "We just wanted to do something useful that would help us as well as others and we have never regretted it." Mrs Warin, who also volunteers with Compassionate Friends which supports bereaved families, said she had found it hard not to tell people about the honour. "I don't keep secrets very well at all and going to work every day and seeming normal was very difficult." Others made MBE include Caroline Gardner. Mrs Gardner, 74, from Leyburn, served as a magistrate for 17 years and founded the Wise Owl group, an organisation for retired magistrates. Her charity work also includes establishing the Clervaux Trust, which supports young people with a range of difficulties. That's the view of some current and former shareholders who tell me that not only would Barclays suffer if the US boss was pushed out during his so-far successful turnaround of the 360-year-old bank but also, weakening the UK's last major investment bank would be bad for the entire UK financial landscape. Jes Staley is under investigation by authorities for twice trying to identify the author of a letter raising questions about Staley's decision to recruit an old colleague from his JP Morgan days who had been through personal issues that had led to "erratic behaviour". You can read more about the circumstances surrounding that episode here. The Staley case is seen as an early and important test of new rules governing the conduct of senior managers designed to improve behaviour, accountability and culture. Those new rules are clear that whistleblowers should be protected as they are a valuable source of information on potential wrongdoing. Barclays was the poster child for failings in these areas under another US boss, Bob Diamond, who was ousted after losing the support of the Bank of England after a series of scandals - including the rigging of key financial benchmarks. One City source told me - "replacing Jes Staley with another FCA-approved (the regulator) apparatchik would be a disaster". That's a reference to "Saint" Antony Jenkins - a mild mannered man from the quiet world of retail banking - who was brought in after Bob Diamond as an antidote to the buccaneering, risk-taking and rule bending of the Diamond era. He had the blessing of the Bank of England but he was subsequently sacked for failing to improve the bank's financial performance fast enough. The board - and in particular, the chairman, John McFarlane - would like to keep Staley. Without an investment banker at the helm, the UK's last surviving big investment bank would lose the momentum it has started to regain according to some shareholders. The Financial Conduct and Prudential Regulation authorities will examine the case and their findings will ultimately determine whether Staley can stay. But as things stand, I'm told the board of Barclays looks unlikely to make Staley jump before it is pushed.

Neil Hay, who is standing in Edinburgh South, referred to supporters of the UK as "quislings" on Twitter, under the pseudonym "Paco McSheepie". During first minister's questions, deputy Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said he should be sacked. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats questioned Mr Hay's fitness for public office. Mr Hay's tweets are also reported to have included claims that some elderly voters can "barely remember their own names. The Paco McSheepie account has been deleted. Speaking in the Scottish Parliament, Ms Sturgeon said voters could decide Mr Hay's fate when they go to the polls in two weeks. She also challenged Ms Dugdale to take action against Labour activist Ian Smart, who previously described the SNP as "fascist scum" online. Ms Dugdale said Mr Hay had been exposed as an "anonymous troll who described the majority of Scots as traitors" and had been "categorically challenging the right of pensioners to vote". Apology 'right' The deputy Scottish Labour leader said Ms Sturgeon had already been forced to apologise to the victims of online abuse from SNP supporters, adding: "Rather than simply empathising with the victims, she needs to show some leadership and take on the perpetrators - and that starts with the sacking of Neil Hay." Ms Sturgeon said: "I do condemn the language used and I condemn the comments made - as I always do when anybody steps out of line on Twitter, on Facebook or any medium. "Neil Hay has rightly apologised. I think, given that we face an election two weeks today, it's now up to the voters to decide." On Mr Smart, Ms Sturgeon added: "It's not the first time he's used remarks like that and I would invite Kezia Dugdale, before she comes to me, lecturing me on what she expects me to do about SNP members - can I just politely suggest to her that she puts her own house in order first?" Ms Dugdale said she would look into the matter. 'Dirty tricks' Deputy Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Sir Malcolm Bruce said of the SNP candidate's comments: "This is the sort of dirty tricks which undermine faith in democracy. "The ball is now in the court of the SNP, and the electorate of Edinburgh South." A Scottish Conservative spokesman, added: "Voters across Edinburgh South will be shocked by the views expressed by SNP candidate Neil Hay and questions clearly must be asked if he is fit to serve in public office. "Nicola Sturgeon has said she will not tolerate this sort of language and attacks on Scots - it's time she proved that."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has condemned social media comments by one of her party's UK election candidates.

The Labour manifesto included a pledge to raise the minimum wage to the level of the Living Wage - now paid to those aged 25 or over - for 18-24 year olds. But questioned about whether 16-year-olds should get it, Mr Corbyn said it "should apply to all workers". "I don't think young people eat less than old people," he added. The National Living Wage was introduced by the Conservative then-chancellor George Osborne in his July 2015 Budget. As of April this year, it is paid at a rate of £7.50 an hour for workers aged 25 and over, with the aim of increasing it to £9 an hour by 2020. Labour's general election manifesto pledged to raise it to at least £10 an hour by 2020 for workers aged 18 or over. But when Mr Corbyn was asked whether 16-year-olds should get it as well, he replied: "You're absolutely right. "Yes, the £10 an hour living wage, real living wage, is correct and also should apply to all workers, because I don't think young people eat less than old people - that's my experience anyway." Currently workers aged 21-24 get a minimum wage of £7.05 an hour, while those aged 18-20 get £5.60 and under 18s get £4.05 an hour. If you are an apprentice. it can be as low as £3.50 an hour. Mr Corbyn also used his address to the conference to link the Grenfell Tower fire, which is thought to have killed at least 79 people, to "austerity economics". "Make no mistake about it - this is the brutal reality of austerity economics that has failed in its own terms, and leading to falling living standards, rising inequality and disasters," he said. He added that Labour was "ready for another election at any time, to finish the job of beating the failed, clapped-out Tories and form a government that works for all". The announcement came at the first US-Africa Leaders' Summit, attended by over 40 African heads of state. The summit is an effort to strengthen US ties with Africa as China increases its African investments. Mr Obama also hosted a dinner for African leaders at the White House. The deals announced on Tuesday included a $5bn partnership between private-equity firm Blackstone and Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest businessman, for energy infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as more investments in Mr Obama's Power Africa initiative. According to the White House, Power Africa received an additional $12bn in pledges towards its effort to develop energy supplies on Africa through a mix of investment and state involvement. The World Bank announced a $5bn investment in Power Africa and General Electric said it had committed $2bn to help boost infrastructure and access to energy. "We gave it to the Europeans first and to the Chinese later, but today it's wide open for us," said General Electric chief executive Jeff Immelt. Mr Obama also said that the US would offer an additional $7bn of financing through the Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) Campaign, bringing the total new US commitments to investment in Africa announced on Tuesday to $33bn. "Up to tens of thousands of American jobs are supported every time we expand trade with Africa", said Mr Obama. "As critical as all these investments are, the key to unlocking the next era of African growth is not going to be here in the US, it is going to be in Africa, " he added. The three-day summit ends on Wednesday.

Dozens of demonstrators appeared on a big screen near the main gate of Seoul's historic Gyeongbokgung Palace. Officials had earlier said the rally's application was submitted incorrectly, warning of a "stern response". But the event was peaceful. The demonstration was organised by Amnesty International Korea. "Authorities are banning more and more public protests, especially in central Seoul, citing reasons like traffic jams or public inconvenience," Amnesty's Kim Hee-jin was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. "We wanted to show that the situation has become so restrictive that only ghosts like these may freely march on the street," she added. The South Korean authorities have been recently been accused of using excessive force to disperse public protests and even banning rallies under the pretext that they cause traffic jams and inconvenience to local residents. The government in Seoul has repeatedly denied such claims.
A holographic "ghost protest" has been held in South Korean capital Seoul against what the organisers say is the erosion of free speech in the country.

China's Sanpower confirmed to the BBC it had put in a joint bid with Beijing Tourism Group. There are more than 2,200 McDonald's in China with plans to open 1,250 more. In March, McDonald's had said it would reorganise its business in China, seeking to franchise its restaurants. Media reports have suggested that the US company has received more than half a dozen bids, which could raise as much as $3bn (£2bn). Competitor Yum Brands, the owner of KFC and Pizza Hut, is also restructuring its China business, with plans to spin it off ahead of a likely initial public offering (IPO) of shares in 2017. Both McDonald's and Yum Brands have been facing increasing competition from cheaper local rivals, particularly in China, where they are trying to recover from food safety scares. In the long term, McDonald's plans to franchise 95% of its outlets worldwide. Sanpower is a technology and real estate firm and said it hoped to integrate the fast food chain into its commercial shops and mall spaces. "In recent years, we are building more offline commercial stores, aiming to provide better shopping experience for consumers. McDonald's could provide new brand elements for us," Sanpower spokesman Zou Yan said in an email.
The first bid has been confirmed for McDonald's China and Hong Kong restaurants as the US fast food giant plans to franchise its outlets in the country.

Italian Conti rode away from a 12-strong breakaway in the final 20km to win the longest stage of the race - 213.4km from Bilbao to Dantxarinea. Froome and Colombian Quintana finished in the peloton almost 34 minutes later. They were happy with a more sedate day in the saddle because both weekend stages feature mountain-top finishes. Saturday's 196km stage includes four categorised climbs in the Pyrenees and culminates with a 21km ascent of the Col d'Aubisque, while Sunday's 118km stage finishes with a 14.5km ascent to Formigal. Team Sky's Froome is aiming to become the first rider in 38 years to win the Tour de France and Vuelta in the same year. Movistar's Quintana, who finished third behind Froome at the Tour, has won one Grand Tour, the 2014 Giro d'Italia. Lampre-Merida rider Conti finished 55 seconds ahead of Switzerland's Danilo Wyss, who won the five-man sprint for second place.

It has been contentious and controversial, but part of the mayor's flagship east-west cycle superhighway is nearing completion. These photos give you an impression of what some streets in London will look like when they have been converted to protect cyclists. Of course, not everyone will like road space being given over to cyclists. Many drivers fear the works and the scheme will create congestion for vehicles. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) still has a judicial review pending on this scheme; I'm told the chances of that succeeding are very slim. Cyclists will love this space and a cycle lane running straight up to Parliament will invigorate cycling campaigners who'll say "if it can be done here, it can be done anywhere". The full scheme along Embankment is not yet complete but is due to open in summer 2016.
Is this London's future?

Michael Kane was knocked unconscious by a single punch to the face when he was apparently helping two women. At Nottingham Crown Court earlier Ricky Scott, 29, admitted the attack but said he was protecting his girlfriend. East Midlands Ambulance Service said it appeared his treatment "fell short of the standard expected". Mr Kane was described by police as a good Samaritan when they released footage of him being knocked out by the blow in March. In the CCTV images, shown to the court, he is seen approaching two women before a man runs up and punches him. Scott, of Albany Road, New Basford, handed himself in to police after an appeal in the media, and at Nottingham Crown Court earlier he admitted the attack. But he said he was trying to protect his girlfriend who had been racially abused. Paramedics were called after Mr Scott made his own way back to his hotel but they did not consider his injuries to be serious, the court heard. But when his condition deteriorated, a friend took him to hospital where doctors discovered he had multiple fractures to his skull and jaw. In a statement, East Midlands Ambulance Service said: "It would appear that the service experienced by this gentleman fell short of the standard expected, and if this is the case then we are very sorry." Scott has been bailed on a charge for wounding and will be sentenced at a later date.
A "good Samaritan" who suffered multiple head fractures when he was punched was told by paramedics he was not seriously hurt, a court heard.

The man was flying between Bodmin and Roche in Cornwall when he made the emergency landing at a country club near Polzeath on Wednesday. The club was evacuated during the landing. The pilot later had a glass of water there, said witnesses. The propeller landed 10ft (3m) away from a builder in Polzeath who said he was "lucky to be alive". The pilot, Nick Chitterdon, said the aircraft is a vintage 1936 plane. "When the propeller went there was a loud bang and it disappeared to the left. "I switched the fuel off and started looking for field to land in. I then remembered a private airstrip at a nearby golf course and it took sometime to glide down." The propeller landed in a building site near Polzeath only feet away from delivery driver Paul Stembridge. He said: "I was working away and I heard a big crash behind me. I turned around and there was a big propeller about 10ft behind me. "It was a matter of milliseconds - if it had gone a bit further that would probably have been my lot." Eva Davies, one of the directors at The Point at Polzeath Club, where the aircraft landed, said: "We had a phone call from the fire service who told us to evacuate the building, which included the restaurant, golf club, health club, gym, changing rooms and swimming pool. "The aircraft was spotted by a few golfers as it came in. He was gliding down straight on to our airfield. "Although he landed safely, within five minutes we had six fire engines, three police cars and ambulance here. They didn't know if he was injured. "The pilot then came in and had a glass water." A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "Thankfully, he was obviously a very skilled pilot. "The pilot has recovered the plane, and the propeller which landed in New Polzeath has been recovered by the police." A spokesman from Bodmin Airfield said pilots were trained to glide in aircraft before "going solo" to prepare them for such incidents. The plane was an Aeronca. The incident has been reported to The Air Accidents Investigation Branch. They were part of a group of four men who were descending Slieve Bearnagh at about 16:30 BST. One of the men had fallen near granite slabs on the mountain and suffered head and back injuries, and a second man was hurt while he tried to help. A Coastguard helicopter took the men to Belfast for hospital treatment. The Mourne Mountain Rescue Team (MMRT) had responded to the group's call for help, and 18 volunteers assisted with the rescue. The HM Coastguard helicopter from Holyhead in Wales was called for the first faller "due to the severity the casualties injuries", the MMRT said. An Irish Coast Guard helicopter then flew to the Mournes from Dublin for the second man when his condition deteriorated as he was being taken from the mountain. Neville Watson, who co-ordinated the rescue for the MMRT, said the first man had become disorientated and had then "fallen some distance". "The young guy who took the initial fall had stumbled - on that kind of steep ground once a fall starts it's very difficult to control it," he said. "The second guy had taken a tumble when he went down to see if his friend was OK. "He was suffering from pain in his hip area and leg area and we were concerned that there may have been additional internal injuries along with that." Mr Watson said the part of the mountain where the men, believed to be in their 20s, fell was a "fairly steep, rocky area", which is popular with rock-climbers. "Unfortunately they found themselves on difficult ground and they really weren't up for that kind of terrain. "There's also an element of bad luck."

At the UN climate conference in Bonn, researchers said wind turbines and power lines were a particular problem for migratory soaring birds. Shutting down wind farms on demand is one of the methods being tested to protect these birds from collisions. Other ideas being tried include placing highly visible deflectors every 20m on power lines. The Rift Valley and Red Sea flyways in Egypt are among the world's busiest corridors with huge numbers of migrating birds travelling between Europe and Africa twice a year. Around 1.2 million birds of prey, 500,000 white storks and 66,000 white pelican migrate each year along this particular flyway. Some will cover 10,000km on their journey. Unfortunately this area is also where Egypt is developing new, large scale wind farms. At one wind park, El Zayt, over 290,000 migratory birds flew through it in 2014. Concerned about the impact the twirling blades may have on the species flying over, the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency in collaboration with the wind farm developers and bird experts set out to test a new shut down on demand protection system. In Spring 2016 they set up two radar units, with field ornithologists on site located at vantage points 2.5-5km from the wind farm and less than 5km apart. When birds were detected the turbines could be shut down within four minutes. Details of the trial are still being assessed but according to those who presented details of it at this meeting, it was a success. "We are still awaiting the monitoring information," said Aida Kowalska from Birdlife International. "The project went really well, and it's a great success we've managed to pilot guidelines that actually work on a wind farm site." The researchers say that they are fine tuning the system, increasing the number of birds that trigger the shutdown from 10 to 50. It could be used with other wind farms they say, but it is not a one size fits all solution to the issues of birds and renewable energy. "It's a model that could be applied elsewhere but it is particularly useful in the context of migration," said Edward Perry, also from Birdlife International. "This is one of many measures you can take, but the first step should be identifying the best site to reduce the impact in the first place." The delegates also heard about efforts in Germany to reduce collisions between birds and electricity cables. The country's rapid uptake of renewables particularly wind have seen a speedy growth in the number of pylons and wires being used to carry power from the north where it is generated to the south and west where it is mainly consumed. According to Eric Neuling from conservation campaigners Nabu, more than 1.5 million birds smash into electric wires every year. Grid operators were very initially very sceptical about bird protection but since the 1990s there have been many mutually benefitting projects, according to Eric. "The protectors are put up on the ground wire which is the very thin wire on the top of the power lines themselves," he told BBC News. "The one that works best is a black and white contrasting moving deflector around 50cm high, that gets attached every 25 metres. Because it moves, in most cases the birds see it and fly over and don't collide." Similar systems are being tested in the Netherlands and in Hungary and other locations - but don't expect to see them soon on every power line. "There's a cost factor, they won't put them up everywhere, but it is not really necessary," said Eric Neuling "It has to apply to the most effective and most important places."

The investigation uncovered a brothel luring undocumented Asian women to the city. It found the women were being promised work to pay off people smugglers. Justice Minister David Ford said the extension of the National Crime Agency to NI should help to stop people being trafficked into the sex trade. Mr Ford said the NCA will have greater powers and resources than the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The BBC investigation exposed how women were being recruited to work as prostitutes in Belfast through a classified newspaper advert in the UK China Times. An undercover reporter, who replied to the advert as part of the investigation, was offered sex work by the Belfast brothel manager, who introduced herself as Lisa. Lisa told the reporter that she keeps half of the earnings of the prostitutes she recruits. Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster, Mr Ford said people trafficking into the sex trade was causing "major problems across Europe". "I think the authorities are doing what they can but clearly the PSNI has limited resources and is not particularly in a position to follow up matters which clearly originated in Great Britain to the Chinese press there. "One of the key issues there is to see that, using particularly the resources of a body like the National Crime Agency, which has the international reach to see the source countries working alongside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as well as the ability to co-ordinate across different regions of the UK. "When we get the NCA fully operational in Northern Ireland in a few months time I hope that will help," Mr Ford added. The NCA was introduced in the rest of the UK in 2013, but its powers have been limited in Northern Ireland due to nationalist politicians' concerns over its accountability. However, following a new agreement on oversight mechanisms, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) agreed to support the extension of the NCA's full powers to Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin retains its objection to the move, but SDLP's change of position means the NCA will be fully operational in Northern Ireland within the coming months. Northern Ireland recently became the first part of the UK to make buying sex a crime, following legislation brought before Stormont by the Democratic Unionist Party peer, Lord Morrow. Lord Morrow told BBC Radio Ulster: "What my bill is designed to do primarily is to support victims of human trafficking and there are in the bill measures to support those who have been exploited. "That was what the purpose and the drive of my bill was, and for those who try to say that this might in some way drive it further underground, I just fail to understand that , because quite frankly, this type of activity is already underground." The BBC Radio Ulster documentary - Vice Girl or Victim - is available on the BBC iPlayer.
Police have said they are studying a BBC documentary that uncovered how young Asian women are being recruited to work in the sex trade in Belfast.

A lawyer for some of the Hillsborough families suggested Stephen Chippendale "could" and "did" see fans more in need of treatment than the first he treated. But Mr Chippendale said he did not see anybody who needed resuscitation until after that casualty had been seen. Ninety-six people were fatally injured in the stadium tragedy in April 1989. The jury at the new inquests heard the Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final was Mr Chippendale's first match on duty at the stadium in Sheffield. He was one of the most junior qualified ambulance officers based at Sheffield's Longley Ambulance Station. He said he was not given a tour of the ground by the two senior officers who were also there, station officers Patrick Higgins and Paul Eason, and he did not know about an emergency plan for the stadium. The officers' attention was drawn to the Leppings Lane end of the ground when fans started climbing off the terraces just after kick-off at about 15:00 BST. Mr Chippendale said: "I thought it was just, well, the usual idiots trying to climb on to the pitch, get their five minutes of fame." The jury heard Mr Chippendale and Mr Eason set off for the Leppings Lane end between 15:02 and 15:03. Mr Chippendale added: "We looked around to see if anybody was injured. We saw the police. At that time they were pushing the crowd back... from over the fencing back in to the stadium again. "They thought the same thing - they were trying to do a pitch invasion. We were looking around assessing if anybody injured themselves jumping on to the pitch." The two ambulance men walked in front of the pens and found a man near the goal with a suspected broken leg. Mr Chippendale said he was punched on the shoulder during that walk but was not concerned for his safety. BBC News: Profiles of all those who died He said it was only after he finished treating the man with the leg injury that he saw people giving heart massage and mouth-to-mouth to injured fans. But Jo Delahunty QC, who represents a group of Hillsborough families, argued that he noticed fans injured in the pens earlier. Ms Delahunty showed a picture timed at about 15:05 showing the two ambulance men walking in front of the pens. Mr Chippendale confirmed he appeared to be looking towards the pens. The barrister said that in the pens there were "images there of people who appear to be in need of significant help". She said they were separated from Mr Chippendale by the mesh fence and were "clearly in difficulties". Ms Delahunty said: "What I'm suggesting is not only could you see what was happening behind those pens, but you did see what was happening behind those pens because we can track your progress." Mr Chippendale replied he was "assessing the whole area", not just the pens. Ms Delahunty continued: "This is the closest you got to the pens that we can see over the course of the afternoon and therefore when you say you could see fans squashed against the fencing, that must be the period that you're meaning." Mr Chippendale said he could see the logic of that statement. Ms Delahunty then asked: "So, do you accept that you did see people in serious difficulty behind the pens at that point?" Mr Chippendale said: "Looking at the photograph there, yes." Asked why a major incident was not declared at about 15:05, he said: "I assumed Mr Eason had done it already." The jury has previously heard how Mr Eason declared a major incident at 15:22 that day from an ambulance radio. Jenni Richards QC, who represents the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, said in Mr Chippendale's 1989 statement he had said he only noticed people in distress after dealing with the suspected broken leg. The inquests, in Warrington, continue.

The Environment Agency (EA) and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council carried out a £1m scheme to restore barriers and shift shingle. The agency said about 150,000 cubic metres of shingle was lost from the beach during the storms. Local residents said the building up of shingle banks was "unnecessary". The sea wall and gabions - large mesh parcels of stones - were repaired as part of the work to protect buildings at Chiswell. Stuart Morris, a civil engineer who worked with the local authority on planning sea defences in the 1960s, described the shifting of thousands of tonnes of shingle from the waterline to bolster the crest of the beach as a "waste of money". He welcomed the work to restore the gabions, but said moving the shingle was motivated by "panic and gut reaction". "It happens after every major storm, as it did 25 years ago, but the sea always restores it eventually. "At worst it is distorting the natural processes of the beach," he said. Other residents took to Facebook to cast doubt on how long the new banks of shingle would remain in position. EA spokesman Paul Gainey insisted the work would "help the natural beach rebuilding process" after the height of the beach was reduced by up to 3m (10ft). "With the beach and crest in a depleted state, there is an increased risk of waves running up the beach and overtopping beach defences. "This recovery of shingle using excavators and bulldozers is part of an approved Beach Management Plan and is triggered from time to time when the cross-section of the beach is narrowed." Councillor Ian Roebuck said: "We must recognise that it is very likely that we will have more frequent occasions of severe weather to test the defences in the future." The agency also tested its flood warning siren earlier, as part of preparations for any future winter storms.
Work to repair flood defences on the Dorset coast damaged in winter storms has been completed.

The visitors declared on 453-9, after Chris Wood was caught off Ryan Sidebottom and Fidel Edwards was unable to bat having been injured warming up. With a lead of 140 runs, Yorkshire were reduced to 43-4 as James Tomlinson and Ryan McLaren took two wickets each. Andrew Gale (46) and Liam Plunkett (27no) saw the hosts to 183-8 declared as the sides settled for a draw. Edwards, who was hurt while playing football before play on day four, extended Hampshire's injury list to eight players. The county have only 18 full-time professionals. Despite being without one of their premier bowlers, the visitors ran through Yorkshire's top order for a second time in the match, with Tomlinson trapping Alex Lees lbw before having Gary Ballance caught at cover. McLaren then had Adam Lyth caught behind and dismissed England batsman Jonny Bairstow, who scored a career-best 246 to rescue Yorkshire in the first innings, for just five as the visitors pressed for an unlikely victory. Captain Gale steadied the innings before edging behind off the bowling of Wood, as the White Rose batted out the rest of the final day before shaking hands on a draw with 18 overs remaining. Hampshire had looked unlikely to earn a draw when they were reduced to 128-5 in their first innings, trailing by more than 450 runs, but gritty centuries from James Vince and Sean Ervine ensured they left Headingley with an impressive 10 points. Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale: "It's not panic stations - it's the first game of the season. "If this game has taught us anything, it's that you can't afford to slack off for a couple of sessions against any team in this division - so we'll have to make sure we're really on it. "I didn't feel we slacked off on the third day; I just felt we weren't at our best. "Today, I thought we were just a bit sloppy and a bit soft. That's not a sign of the cricket we'd like to play. We've flagged it up, and it won't happen again." The former policeman, named as Rodney Dias dos Santos, is the alleged mastermind of last month's attack. Supporters of the Corinthians club were preparing banners ahead of a match when gunmen burst in, police said. Police say the killings at the Pavilhao Nove supporters' group were likely to be drug related. The attackers ordered seven fans to lie down before shooting them. The eighth man was hit as he tried to flee. Rodney Dias dos Santos and the other man, who has not been named, were arrested on Thursday morning and taken into police custody, according to O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper. Witnesses say three gunmen stormed into the makeshift club in a working-class suburb of Sao Paulo on Saturday, 18 April. Sao Paulo police suggested the Pavilhao Nove group may have had links to criminal gangs, saying the killings were probably more to do with a dispute over drugs trafficking than with football. Violence in Brazilian football is a growing problem both directly and indirectly, with supporters of teams in several major cities using their club allegiances to organise criminal activity outside the stadiums, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports from Rio de Janeiro. The victims were having a barbecue as they prepared for a Corinthians' match against their fiercest local rivals, Palmeiras, the following day. Corinthians are one of the Brazil's most popular clubs, followed by millions of supporters across the country. Rivelino, Socrates and, more recently, Carlos Tevez and Ronaldo, are among the big names who have played for the club.

Councillor Rob Nolan, who voted against the plans, said the Truro development would cause traffic chaos and "deal a major blow" to traders locally. The move has been welcomed by sports fans and other supporters. On Thursday, councillors voted 11-8 for the plans which include a supermarket funding a 6,000-seater stadium. Liberal Democrat Mr Nolan, chairman of Cornwall Council's strategic planning committee, said: "It's despairing. Truro is a vibrant and successful shopping centre. On a dream we've perhaps dealt it a major blow." He described the decision as a "great day for sport, bad day for traders." Truro business leader Simon Hendra shares that opinion. He said the vote left him "bemused" that councillors went against planning officers' advice to refuse the plans, and that "the retail reports say it'll do a lot of damage." However, independent councillor Mark Kaczmarek - who voted for the plans - said this had come after many years of efforts to build a stadium. "There's no other scheme on the table and as planners we have to take that balance. We came up with the right decision," he said. The Cornish Pirates rugby club, Inox Group, Truro and Penwith College and Henry Boot Developments were behind the plans for the multi-use stadium. It is expected to cost £10m with £2m promised by Truro and Penwith College and the other £8m from a deal still to be done with a supermarket and other retailers. Among conflicting views on BBC Radio Cornwall's Facebook page, Christian Ford said: "Sort your lives out Cornwall!! Come on, I'm Cornish. Move with the times. Cornwall needs a stadium, more interest, jobs, events, future music venue etc.. Wake up!" Bill Spears commented: "Truro will become a place to avoid like the plague. The traffic is an absolute nightmare." Natalia Martínez, 37, had faced -20C (-4F) temperatures and winds of up to 140km/h (85mph) on Mt Logan. The rescue operation lasted three hours. "Natalia is back with us safe and sound," the expedition website said. Martínez had been in touch with her partner Camilo Rada, describing "crazy" intense winds and heavy snow. Mountain pilot Tom Bradley, who dropped her off last month to begin the ascent, had earlier told the BBC the ordeal had been "a real rollercoaster for her". The strong winds had made it impossible for her to light her stove to cook food or melt snow to drink, said Mr Bradley, Chief Pilot at Icefield Discovery Tours. "She was getting pretty weak over the last couple of days," he said. She had been "feeling a little down on it" on Thursday morning, but had been able to make a hot meal later in the day, which had helped her recover some strength and boosted her spirits, he said. Mr Rada, also an experienced mountaineer, had been in contact by satellite phone and text. According to earlier reports from her team, she had become increasingly tired, after having to leave her tent every few hours to shovel snow piled around her camp. "The rescue team (sic) was launched around 7:30pm local time, heading for a successful operation that ended at 22:30 pm, with Natalia showing again her beautiful smile at the Icefield Discovery base in Kluane Lake!!! Well done Nati!!!! YOU MADE IT!!!!," the update on the expedition website said. Ms Martínez started a solo ascent of the 5,959m (19,551 ft) peak last month. The magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the western Yukon territory early on Monday. A few hours later, another tremor, of magnitude 6.3, hit. For Ms Martinez, it felt as if "the mountain was falling apart," Mr Rada was quoted by CBC News as saying. "She felt that all the ground under her camp subsided and moved a lot, and of course she was very scared," he said. She then moved her camp to a safer area, Mr Rada said. The Argentine was described as an experienced climber, who had been on Mt Logan before and faced extreme conditions in Patagonia. An average of 25 climbers try to reach the summit of Mt Logan every year.
The approval of plans for a retail development which will pay for a sports stadium in Cornwall has caused "despair", a planning chairman said.

It follows the success of the red squirrel population in Anglesey which has increased from around 40 squirrels in 1998 to more than 700. Conservationists are encouraging populations at Ogwen Valley, five miles from Bangor. The site was chosen as mountains help shield them from grey squirrels which carry a disease deadly to the reds. Ten squirrels bred by the East Anglian Red Squirrel Group in Norfolk are among those destined for Wales in special squirrel boxes. Chrissie Kelley, head of species management at Pensthorpe Conservation Trust north Norfolk, is overseeing the resettlement. She said: "Our colleagues in Wales know we breed good squirrels and ours will be joined by breeding stock from other places around the country to ensure the widest genetic mix as possible." Native red squirrels have been almost wiped out by rival grey squirrels which arrived from America in the 19th Century, save for a few strongholds in Scotland and the border counties. Ofsted ranked the island's child protection services "inadequate" in November, while the Department for Education (DfE) also raised concerns about its schools. The government subsequently directed Isle of Wight Council to establish a strategic partnership with Hampshire. The deal is expected to be agreed by the island's council on Wednesday. Isle of Wight Council will remain financially accountable and will fund the costs of the arrangement. The island's children's services councillor, Richard Priest, said the partnership aimed to drive up educational standards and improve children's services, in particular safeguarding standards for vulnerable children. He said: "At a time of increasing pressures on children's services and budgets, we believe this collaborative partnership can become an example for other authorities illustrating how they, too, can effectively share their expertise and resources to benefit their local communities." Hampshire's children's services councillor, Keith Mans, said: "I am confident that we can now move forward in supporting the Isle of Wight Council without compromising our responsibilities and services for children and young people in Hampshire, and without any impact on the county council's budgets." According to a Hampshire report, in November 2012 an Ofsted inspection found the island's children's social services to be "inadequate across all of the domains of the inspection". The report also said the DfE had expressed concern that the island had a "disproportionate number of secondary schools which require significant improvement or require special measures" and that absence rates at secondary schools were "the worst in the country". Ofsted inspectors returned to the island this week after their last report ranked four of the island's six secondary schools "inadequate" - the lowest grade. Another was ranked as "requiring improvement", while the sixth was rated "good". A new Isle of Wight Council administration was formed following last month's election by a group of 20 independent councillors, inheriting a previously Conservative-led council.

The 46-year-old confirmed on Thursday he has activated a clause in his contract to leave Ewood Park after the final two games of the season. "Do I fear for the club? No, I certainly hope not," Lambert told BBC Radio Lancashire. "It's a great club and I don't think anybody should be under any illusion how good it is, it just needs help." The Scot added: "I can't probably put it as nicely and bluntly as it needs a bit of help." With debts of £102.4m revealed last month, Lambert stated he would 'wait and see' about his future after talks with the club's owners Venky's. Venky's, run by the Rao family that owns the club who are based in India, bought the club in 2010 but have seen their debts rise after relegation from the Premier League in 2012. "I don't want to get into name calling and all those sort of things," added the former Aston Villa boss. "There is no bad feeling, there is no animosity or infighting, all those sort of things that make you leave a club. I've got nothing but good things to say about Blackburn Rovers. "Financially nobody can point the finger at the owners for what they've done for the club because they've spent an awful lot of money, and probably been hit by bad situation with the money maybe not being spent the right way." With Ronny Deila leaving Celtic this summer, Lambert has been quickly installed as odds-on favourite with several bookmakers to take over at Celtic Park "You'll probably get all that, the only connection I've got with Celtic is I played eight great years," stated Lambert. "It's a fantastic club, a great club and you like to think you've done your bit in that time. But as of this minute I'm back to square one where I was when I left Aston Villa." The Blackburn Rovers Football Community Action Group have had their say on Paul Lambert's departure and voiced their frustrations about the owners. "This entire situation has been created by the Rao family and their chosen advisors," said a statement. "Paul Lambert was very vocal in his concerns at the lack of communication and direction from the owners, whilst supporters are left to look on as one dark day in the history of their club is simply replaced by another. "The message from the supporters of Blackburn today is resounding in that if the Rao family cannot run our football club in an open, transparent and responsible manner then they should seek a new owner who will protect the heritage and proud history of this community football club, and allow it to rebuild from a disastrous five-and-a-half-year Venky's reign."
Blackburn Rovers are a club that need help in the future, says outgoing manager Paul Lambert.

The play is a loose adaptation of Moliere's 17th Century tragi-comedy Don Juan that transports the legendary womaniser to contemporary London. The production, which Marber will direct, will run at the Wyndham's Theatre from 17 March to 10 June. The original 2006 production starred Rhys Ifans in the title role and was directed by Michael Grandage. The play drew a good review from the Telegraph's Charles Spencer, who described it as "savagely funny, disturbingly dark and disgracefully sexy". Tennant previously performed at the Wyndham's in 2011, playing Benedick in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. He recently played Richard II with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican, moving to New York with the production earlier this year. The former Doctor Who actor played another famous womaniser, Casanova, in a 2005 BBC TV series. Further Don Juan in Soho casting will be announced at a later date.

Jordan Watson's body was found in the graveyard in Carlisle early on Tuesday morning; Cumbria Police initially said a man had been killed. A post-mortem examination revealed he died from multiple wounds to the head and neck caused by a sharp implement. Detectives said they were shocked by the murder and said for a child to die in such circumstances was "appalling". The body was found in Upperby Cemetery, next to St John The Baptist Church in Manor Road, at about 07:45 BST on Tuesday. Police patrols have been increased across the Carlisle area while the investigation continues into the death of Jordan, who lived in Ridley Road in the city. Det Supt Andrew Slattery said: "Jordan has lost his life as a result of a savage and brutal attack which has shocked the officers working on the case. "For a child to die in these circumstances in Carlisle is appalling. "The offender or offenders must be apprehended and I appeal to any members of the public with information to come forward. "If anybody heard or saw anything unusual in the area of the cemetery on Manor Road overnight, I would urge them to report it to our incident room." The Reverend Jim Hyslop, vicar of St John The Baptist Church, said the first he knew of Jordan's death was when he saw police vehicles outside his house opposite the cemetery. He said: "Nothing like this has ever happened in the 20 years I have been at the church. "Jordan's body was found in the older part of the cemetery, which has been here since the church was founded in 1840. "We haven't been told too much and I've not spoken to many people about what has happened. My thoughts are with his family at this time." Carlisle's mayor, Steven Layden, said the entire city had been left "shocked and appalled" by the murder. He said: "This is outside the normal life of people in Carlisle. It's absolutely shocking and the savagery and brutality of this murder makes it doubly appalling. "It is utterly, utterly shocking that a 14-year-old can die in such a way."

A ground-based interceptor was launched at a California air base and shot down a mock ballistic missile, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) said. The Pentagon said the test was long-planned but it comes amid increased tensions with North Korea. The test comes after Pyongyang fired its ninth missile this year. MDA Director Vice Adm Jim Syring called the test a "critical milestone". "This system is vitally important to the defence of our homeland, and this test demonstrates that we have a capable, credible deterrent against a very real threat," he said on Tuesday. It was the first live-fire test against a simulated ICBM for the Ground-Based Missile Defense (GMD). The interceptor, which was launched from Vandenberg Air Force, collided with a simulated missile launched from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands over the Pacific Ocean, the agency said in a news release. The announcement comes in the wake of North Korea's third missile test in three weeks. The Scud flew about 450km (280 miles) before landing in Japanese waters, prompting Japan to lodge a protest. Pyongyang has repeatedly defied a UN resolution banning all nuclear and missile activity, and has ramped up the pace of its tests in recent months. President Donald Trump joined South Korea and Japan in condemning the test. "North Korea has shown great disrespect for their neighbor, China, by shooting off yet another ballistic missile...but China is trying hard!" he tweeted on Monday.
The US has for the first time successfully tested its defence system against an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), say officials.

Ewers found the top corner with a powerful 77th-minute shot after a fine pull-back by substitute Ellie Brazil. But the hosts had goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger to thank for keeping them level. She made superb first-half saves from Kim Little, Danielle Carter and Danielle van de Donk. Katie McCabe and Jordan Nobbs were both off target in the second period as Arsenal continued to have the better of things before Ewers struck. The draw for the semi-finals will take place live on BBC Radio 5 Live at 14:45 BST on Monday, 27 March. During the visit to "Le Terrible" submarine off Brittany coast, Mr Macron reportedly took part in a simulated missile launch. France will be the sole EU nation with nuclear arms after 2019, when the UK is expected to leave the 28-member bloc. Meanwhile, the new French government easily won its first confidence vote. The cabinet led by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe was backed by 370 MPs in the lower house, with only 67 voting against. Mr Philippe set out proposals for public spending cuts and labour reforms - a move condemned by the trade unions, who have threatened protest strikes in the autumn. Macron's meteoric rise What's next on president's agenda? On Tuesday, President Macron was taken by helicopter to "Le Terrible" submarine in the Atlantic, about 300km (186 miles) off France's coast. Mr Macron's office later published a photo, showing the president being lowered down aboard the submersible. Mr Macron stressed the importance of France's nuclear deterrence, describing it as the "keystone of security". The reported missile launch simulation was part of the president's daylong visit to nuclear weapons facilities at the Ile Longue base, near Brest. It is home to the country's four nuclear-powered, ballistic missile-carrying submarines. France maintains a fleet of nuclear-armed submarines and strike planes, and has about 300 operational nuclear warheads. Support for the deterrent is deeply rooted in French society and history, ever since it became a nuclear power in the 1960s, correspondents say. France's enduring nuclear deterrent

Paul Edward Burns, of no fixed abode, is accused of threatening to kill Edward Gibson, and of disorderly behaviour, during an incident at the Royal Victoria Hospital. Mr Gibson, 28, was shot in his stomach and thigh in an alleyway beside Divis Tower on Friday. He died in hospital. Carwyn Jones will unveil a blueprint for an overhaul of relations between the governments of the four nations after the UK leaves the European Union. A new UK Council of Ministers would settle post-Brexit power disputes. Mr Jones will call on the UK nations to work together "through discussion, not diktat, to map our collective future". The first minister has already written to Prime Minister Theresa May urging her to rethink plans for a hard Brexit, saying she had "no mandate" for it after the Conservatives lost their majority in the snap election she called hoping to strengthen her position. Speaking in Cardiff on Thursday, Mr Jones will re-state his preference for securing "full and unfettered access" to the EU single market after Brexit, and stress the need for co-operation to find a way forward. He will describe leaving the European Union as "the biggest challenge facing the United Kingdom, a challenge thrown into even sharper relief by the outcome of the general election". It will influence "our ability to trade, travel, attract investment, determine policies, legislate, support our countryside, invest in our regions", Mr Jones will add. He will warn the "fallout" from Brexit has "the potential to destabilise the United Kingdom as we know it - or, if we work together, we can use this as an opportunity to reinvent and strengthen our union". The proposed UK Council of Ministers would take over from the current Joint Ministerial Council, through which the UK government has heard the Brexit priorities of the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A new white paper from Mr Jones will also call for a convention looking at the wider questions about the future of the UK once it leaves the EU. "The opportunities presented by EU exit must be about the future, not the past - and that is what our paper is about," he will add. "It represents an important step forward in the work which we must undertake together with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland - through discussion, not diktat - to map our collective future."

The futuristic idea to lift commuters above congestion quickly attracted international attention when it was launched last year - but was finally scrapped last month. There had been growing speculation that it was no more than an investment scam. In a statement, police said they were working to recover investors' assets. China has seen a series of scams where online platforms offer big returns on money invested into start-ups, an area mostly ignored by the country's state-run banks. Among those arrested was Bai Zhiming, the 47-year-old CEO of the Transit Elevated Bus Company (TEB) who is also the founder of peer-to-peer financing company Huaying Kailai Asset Management. The other 31 were Huaying Kailai employees. Investors had reportedly been offered returns of 12% if they put money into the project, but allegations in the Chinese media had said it had been a way of luring them into buying financial products. Doubts about the bus - a 22m-long electric vehicle standing nearly 5m high and 8m wide - began to emerge when all tests were halted shortly after the first test run. Many doubted the vehicle would be able to manage curves or fit under footbridges and critics asked how it would turn corners, whether it was strong enough to bear its own and passengers' weight and how long its battery would last. Others noticed that the model used in the test run was the same as the one presented when the idea was first floated in 2010, suggesting no technical progress had been made. There was also confusion about whether the bus had been approved by the authorities - but the Financial Times newspaper reported that the government of Qinhuangdao in Hebei province, where the TEB was based, had said it would invest $1.5bn (£1.2bn) in the project. Last month Chinese media reported that the Qinhuangdao test site had been demolished.
Police in Beijing have arrested 32 people for illegal fundraising linked to a scrapped project to create a "straddling bus" to beat traffic jams.

Mr Cosby, 78, has been charged with aggravated indecent assault over an alleged incident in 2004 involving a former local university employee. He has previously said under oath he had a consensual sexual encounter with the woman. The case was re-opened after dozens of women alleged assault by Mr Cosby, dating back to the 1970s. Andrea Constand, who was an employee at Temple University at the time of the alleged assault, sued Mr Cosby in 2005 and settled for an undisclosed sum after no charges were brought. She has said she was tricked into taking drugs before being sexually assaulted by Mr Cosby. Mr Cosby has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to the allegations. Documents from the case were sealed until this summer. Testimony from the lawsuits include Mr Cosby admitting he gave women a sedative, Quaaludes, when he wanted to have sex with them. Mr Cosby befriended Ms Constand through her job at the university and she came to think of him as "a mentor and a friend" before he allegedly made two sexual advances that were rejected, said prosecutors. Kevin Steele, district attorney for Montgomery County, said they re-visited the case after new evidence emerged, with the statue of limitations not expired yet. The prosecutors re-interviewed witnesses, examined evidence from the civil case and spoke to other alleged victims before they decided to file criminal charges, Mr Steele's office says in a statement. At the height of his fame from The Cosby Show, the comedian was the highest paid entertainer on US television.
