Pompey won four of their matches under Barker, 38, and have dropped to only two points above the relegation zone. Academy boss Andy Awford has been placed in temporary charge of the first team for Saturday's game against Newport County at Rodney Parade. "We would like to thank Richie for all his work and wish him well for the future," said a club statement. Barker met with Portsmouth chairman Iain McInnes and chief executive Mark Catlin on Wednesday night at Fratton Park and was told of his fate on Thursday. The Pompey Supporters' Trust, which owns around 51% of the club, added the prospect of relegation from the Football League was "unacceptable". "In the position we are in, we believe this is the right decision for the club," said PST chairman Ashley Brown. "Ultimately football is a results business and we haven't seen the progress we'd hoped for under Richie. We also considered the view of our fans and decided, as a group, that this is the right decision." Former Crawley manager Barker, who lost his job at the League One club in November, took over from Guy Whittingham at Fratton Park on 9 December and lost eight of his 20 games. Awford, who was also caretaker for three games when Whittingham was sacked, has seven games to keep the club in the division and prevent a third successive relegation. Northampton, managed by former Oxford boss Chris Wilder, are two points below Pompey in the League Two table. Wilder, who was interviewed for the Portsmouth job before Barker was appointed, has helped the Cobblers close the gap from seven points since being appointed at the end of January.

Richie Barker has been sacked as Portsmouth manager after only 20 games in charge of the League Two strugglers.

It is understood the man was Gerard Mulligan, from Lisburn, County Antrim, and that he took his own life at the high security jail on Saturday evening. Mr Mulligan had been on remand charged with murdering his father, Gerald Mulligan, at his home in Limehurst Way, Lisburn, in September. The PSNI, coroner and Prisoner Ombudsman have launched investigations into the prisoner's death. The Northern Ireland Prison Service has not confirmed the inmate's identity or released any details about how he died, but said the man's next of kin have been informed. Acting Prison Service director general Phil Wragg said: "I would like to extend my sympathy and that of the Northern Ireland Prison Service to the family of the prisoner who has died in Maghaberry. "My thoughts are with them at this difficult time." The prisoner's father was found dead in the boot of a car near his home on 26 September and he was arrested shortly afterwards.

A 44-year-old man has died in custody at Maghaberry Prison, County Antrim.

Oxford-born Smith, 23, finished third in Australia after fellow Briton Cal Crutchlow crashed from second place on the final lap, as Valentino Rossi won. "I didn't see that crash, so I didn't know which position I was," said Smith. "I came across the line, saw 'third' or 'Smith' and I thought something was wrong with the screen." Smith continued: "Then I started making some weird noises inside my helmet. It's a special, special moment for me." "It was a strange race. I tried to push at the beginning but was far too aggressive. "I had lots of big moments and nearly crashed three or four times in the opening two laps, so I had to take it down a peg or two." Smith now lies eighth overall in the world standings, with two rounds to go - in Malaysia and Valencia - and has his sights set on improving that position. "We've closed in on the top six in the Championship - that can be our target for the remaining two races," he said.

British rider Bradley Smith is aiming for a top-six Championship finish after securing his first ever podium finish in MotoGP on Sunday.

The aero-engine maker, which depends on oil and gas-related customers for about 60% of its business, blamed the sharp fall in crude prices for the cuts. The marine unit has been under pressure over the past 18 months since the price of Brent crude collapsed to six-year lows, and ship orders were cancelled. The marine business employs about 5,800 people in 34 countries. Rolls Royce shares jumped more than 3% following the announcement. Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce Marine president, said: "After many years of strong performance through to 2013, led by good growth in the oil and gas sector, our order book and profitability have been adversely impacted by the sharp and subsequently prolonged drop in the price of oil." The cuts will mainly be in management and back office roles, a spokesman said. "We will be consulting with our employees and their representatives over the coming weeks and months, and expect the reduction to be completed by the end of 2016," he added. The firm expects the cuts will generate full year savings of £40m. Investment into research and development will be stepped up. Last November, the company said it would cut its headcount by 2,600 jobs, mainly in its aerospace division. In July, Rolls-Royce issued its fourth profit warning in 18 months on the back of the drop in oil prices. It said its 2015 underlying profit in the marine business would be between break even and £40m, rather than between £90m and £120m. Rolls-Royce's new chief executive Warren East, who took up the role at the beginning of July, is in the process of carrying out an operational review of the business.

Rolls-Royce is to cut an extra 400 posts from its marine division, after announcing 600 job cuts in May.

Supporters held a minute's applause before the kick-off of the club's game against Cardiff at 19:45 GMT. Further applause was due to ring around the Riverside Stadium in the 56th minute, marking the age at which Mr Brownlee died. He became known as the "Voice of the Boro" after more than 30 years commentating on the club. Fans have left scarves and shirts at the club's ground alongside scores of emotional messages. Former Middlesbrough striker Bernie Slaven, who commentated alongside Mr Brownlee, said: "Ali wouldn't believe it. He would be embarrassed to a degree because he was a modest man. "He was passionate, very knowledgeable about the game of football. He lived and breathed it." Mr Slaven said highlights of working together included the club's victory in the 2004 Carling Cup at the Millennium Stadium. Mr Brownlee had worked in a bank before taking up a commentary role with the BBC in 1982. He had also presented BBC Tees' breakfast show since 2011. He died at his home in Middlesbrough on Valentine's Day, surrounded by family, and will be laid to rest at a private funeral on Thursday. Supporters will have another opportunity to pay their respects on Thursday. Mr Brownlee will be laid to rest at a private funeral, but fans will be able to pay their respects along the route of the cortege which will travel along Linthorpe Road, Borough Road, the Riverside Stadium and Ayresome Street from shortly after 13:00 GMT. Fans are invited to gather in the West Stand of the Riverside from 12:00 GMT and highlights of some of Mr Brownlee's best moments will be shown on a big screen prior to the arrival of the cortege.

Middlesbrough fans have paid tribute to BBC Tees presenter Ali Brownlee, who died from cancer a week ago.

13 July 2017 Last updated at 08:01 BST She's now through to the semi final of the competition. But this may not be an easy win as Konta faces five-time Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams, Let's see how they stack up, stats wise.

After an unbelievable year Johanna Konta is one of the favourites to win the Wimbledon 2017 ladies title.

Matthew Eteson is on trial at Preston Crown Court for the manslaughter by gross negligence of Kelly Webster, 36, and Lauren Thornton. The pair died in their sleep aboard a boat on Windermere in April 2013. Mr Eteson, 42, from Hale in Greater Manchester, denies the charge. The family had gone to the Lake District for the Easter bank holiday weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday. But on the afternoon of 1 April, Mr Eteson removed the generator from the deck and used it to power a 1kW fan heater to heat the sleeping quarter, prosecutor Mr Graham Reeds QC said. The court was told that there had been no warning to the build-up of the toxic gas because the carbon monoxide sensors had previously been disabled. Mr Reeds said the mother and daughter, both from Leyland in Lancashire, were found dead in their sleeping positions aboard the the second-hand Bayliner 285 motor cruiser Arniston, with fatal levels of carbon monoxide in their bodies. Mr Eteson, who had been sleeping in a separate compartment further away from the generator also succumbed to the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning but did awake to find the bodies. The court also heard Mr Eteson, a qualified gas fitter, had made some amendments to the generator and its exhaust, which experts subsequently deemed to be "dangerous". Ms Webster's mother, Nia Webster, had previously asked Mr Eteson about carbon monoxide sensors. He told her they were not working and his partner would unplug a portable detector whenever she was cooking. The trial continues.

A gas fitter caused the deaths of his partner and her 10-year-old daughter by using a generator to heat their boat while carbon monoxide sensors were disabled, prosecutors claim.

The Playpen site was located on the Tor network which is used to anonymise web-browsing activity. The FBI found a way around this to reveal the users' real IP addresses and led to 200 prosecutions. But it refused to reveal to the court how it managed the feat. The site was located on the Tor network which many people use to browse the web anonymously. It conceals their location and identity by routing their connections through a chain of different computers and encrypting data in the process. To get round this the FBI used what it called "network investigative techniques" and revealed people's identities. But it refused a request for information on its technological investigation techniques. Federal prosecutor Annette Hayes wrote in a court filing on Friday that "because the government remains unwilling to disclose certain discovery related to the FBI's deployment of a 'network investigative technique'" it was "deprived of the evidence needed to establish defendant Jay Michaud's guilt beyond reasonable doubt". The government's Motion to Dismiss order is pending before the court and the judge is expected to sign a dismissal order "within the next day or two", the assistant public defender Colin Fieman told the BBC. Mr Michaud's case is one of many emerging from the investigation into Playpen users. In December, the Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell said the investigation of Playpen led to more than 200 active prosecutions and the identification or rescue of at least 49 American children who were subject to sexual abuse. In January, Michael Fluckiger was sentenced to 20 years in jail for running the Playpen site. Once the site's administrators had been arrested, the FBI kept the site going for 13 days to gather information about members.

US prosecutors have dropped a case against a man accused of using a child porn site because the government refused to divulge how it revealed his identity.

The man, who had a tattoo on his arm of a woman's head and a heart, was found in a manmade shelter in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, in February 1997. Officers said he was known around the town as "Old Ragbones" but they have been unable to identify him. Bedfordshire Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious but still wanted to identify him. The man, who was thought to be in his 50s and who was found to have lung cancer and a brain tumour, became known as the "tattooed man". The tattoo also appeared to feature a name that was four or five letters long with the last being "Y". His body was found by a group of boys playing truant from school. The man had been described to police as being "well-spoken, well-educated and reserved". A local farmer recalled a rumour "Old Ragbones" used to work in London. Michael Flavin, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire major crime unit investigation review team, said: "He may well have family members somewhere who still wonder what happened to him. "Despite two decades having passed, no investigation is ever completely closed. "I would encourage anyone who believes they may have known who this man was to get in touch."

The identity of a man with a distinctive tattoo who was found dead two decades ago remains a mystery.

The comment was made to a 10-year-old schoolgirl while on a series of engagements in Cumbria. Wiggonby Church of England Primary School pupil Fay Batey asked if the Queen wanted the royal baby to be a boy or a girl. The Queen replied: "I don't think I mind. I would very much like it to arrive. I'm going on holiday." According to Buckingham Palace the Queen will soon be heading off to her private Balmoral estate in Scotland, where she traditionally spends her summer holiday. Hundreds of people had crowded into a market square in Kendal to see the Queen and the Princess Royal. The royal party went on a brief walkabout during the 20 minute tour and received two posies from local schoolchildren. The royal visitors were greeted by loud cheers and Union flags as they arrived just after 10:30 BST from nearby Oxenholme railway station. The Queen was later presented with a hamper showcasing local produce from the Made in Cumbria chamber of commerce collective. Retail manager Tracey Graham said: "She was thrilled with the damson gin and said she would be keeping that for herself."

The Queen said she hopes the Duchess of Cambridge's baby is born soon, because she is due to go on holiday.

The Muslim Brotherhood's party, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), looks to share at least 16 out of 130 seats as part of a new political alliance. The IAF refused to contest the previous two elections, in protest at the electoral system. Tuesday's election also saw at least 20 women returned, latest figures show. Under Jordanian law, 15 seats are automatically reserved for female MPs. A reduction in the number of MPs as part of reforms announced last year means women will have a higher overall proportion of seats than before. The Muslim Brotherhood's (MB) return to parliament follows a crackdown on the movement by Jordanian authorities, fearful of the spread of militant Islam in the region. The Jordanian MB has substantial grassroots popularity and is the country's main opposition organisation. Key leaders have been arrested in recent years, and five months ago the group's headquarters was shut down. Ahead of the elections, the IAF joined Christians and other candidates to form an alliance called the National Coalition for Reform (NCR). Despite the NCR's relatively strong showing, executive power resides with the king, who has the right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and cabinet and dissolve the National Assembly.

Islamists have won seats in Jordan's parliament after years of boycott, in polls which also elected record numbers of female MPs, initial results show.

The 52-year-old leaves with Rotherham 20th in the Championship, although they have won their last two games. Assistant manager Paul Raynor has also departed, with first-team coach Eric Black placed in temporary charge. A club statement on the Rotherham website said that chairman Tony Stewart and Evans "wished to head in a different direction." Evans joined the then-League Two Millers in April 2012 after five years with Crawley Town, having led the Red Devils into the Football League for the first time in the club's history. Rotherham gained successive promotions in Evans's first two seasons in charge, but struggled in the Championship last season, finishing one place above the relegation zone. Speaking after United moved off the bottom of the table with a 2-0 win over Birmingham on Saturday, Evans said there was "fantastic chemistry" at the club between the chairman, manager and players. "There was never any pressure on the squad in the relegation zone," he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "Let the knockers continue. We're just trying to prove the doubters wrong like we have done for three-and-a-half years." Interim manager Black was appointed first team coach in July, having previously had managerial spells at Coventry City and Motherwell.

Rotherham United manager Steve Evans has left the Championship club after more than three years with the Millers.

Enda Kenny will be acting Taoiseach (prime minister) until 6 April when a vote on nominations takes place. At Tuesday's session, a minute's silence was held for the five people who died after their car went off a pier in Buncrana, Donegal. A silence was also held for those caught up in the Brussels bombings. The focus of Tuesday's session is housing and homelessness in the Republic of Ireland. Talks are continuing on the formation of a government. The leadership of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are to brief their parliamentary parties later on the progress of their talks with independents and smaller groups.

The 32nd Dáil (Irish parliament) is sitting for the second time since the general election with no new leader in place.

In three previous forays in the 50-over World Cup and two in its Twenty20 counterpart, the Saltires have exited in the opening group stage. They have suffered 17 defeats in 18 matches, with one no-result. But Bradburn insisted: "I think we've proved we've got a very, very good white-ball team." Scotland came close to a breakthrough against New Zealand, Bangladesh and Afghanistan at the 2015 World Cup. "We all feel that our skills are improving and we just need to get those confidence booster wins under our belt just to really get among the best sides in the world," said Bradburn. Scotland have largely stood by the same squad as last year, with Preston Mommsen once again captaining a team that includes experienced Northamptonshire batsman Kyle Coetzer and Sussex's Matt Machan. Young bowlers Gavin Main and Mark Watt are among the new inclusions. While Bradburn says he and his players have moved on, last year's high-profile defeat in Dunedin still rankles, with Afghanistan having reached their victory target of 211 with one wicket and three balls to spare, despite being reduced to 97 for seven and 132 for eight. Asked if vengeance was on Scotland's mind in their qualifying round opener on 8 March in Nagpur, Bradburn said: "I think there's definitely that feeling in the camp. "The whole World Cup experience was so valuable for us. "We were absolutely gutted not to come back with at least one win in that tournament, but it wasn't to be. "What it did show us is where the line of international cricket is. "At times, we were able to touch that line, but we weren't able to cross it." Scotland will also face Hong Kong and Zimbabwe - and, with only one team progressing from Group B, Bradburn, a former off-spinner and lower-order batsman who played seven Tests and 11 ODIs for New Zealand, knows his side need to hit the ground running. "They're all big threats," he added. "We have a simple task: to go and win three games and that's what we're preparing for. "We know that we can beat Afghanistan, we know that we can beat Hong Kong, but we hugely respect them. "Zimbabwe, we don't know much about, but we're certainly doing our homework on them. "They are tough associate nations and they're very, very good T20 sides."

Scotland are capable of defeating a major nation at the World Twenty20, which starts in India in March, says head coach Grant Bradburn.

Speaking at this year's Oxford Literary Festival, the 66-year-old said the publication of the next book had been pushed back as a result of a stroke she suffered last Christmas. "It was on the way until the stroke interrupted me," said the author of the ninth volume of Mole's comic diaries. The first, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, aged 13 3/4, came out in 1982. The eighth instalment, Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years, was published in 2009. Townsend, who is registered blind and a wheelchair user, was diagnosed with diabetes in the 1980s and underwent a kidney transplant in 2009. Outside of the Mole series, her other best-selling novels include The Queen and I and 2012's The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year. A spokesman for Penguin, who was at Tuesday's talk, confirmed Townsend's comments, originally reported in the Times. However, he said those comments were not representative of the event as a whole. "Sue has definitely been unwell but was still wonderfully endearing and had the audience in creases of laughter several times," he told the BBC News website. Phillip Pullman, Seamus Heaney and Joanne Moore are among the other authors scheduled to attend this year's festival, which runs until Sunday.

Author Sue Townsend has revealed she is unlikely to write more than two further instalments in the Adrian Mole series.

The man was arrested in Whitley Bay at 20:00 BST on Saturday and taken to Middle Engine Lane station in Wallsend where he became ill, police said. He was given medical attention and an ambulance was called. Northumbria Police said paramedics pronounced him dead just after 22:00 BST. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is now investigating.

Police are being investigated after a 45-year-old man died while in custody in North Tyneside.

In 2014, 27 motorcyclists were killed and the number of serious injuries also rose from 507 to 514 in the year up to September 2015. London Assembly's Transport Committee said the figure for deaths was "unacceptably high". TfL said more police have been deployed in accident hotspots and it is focusing on motorcycle and scooter safety. The figures were released as the London Assembly committee published its report ‘Easy Rider: Improving motorcycle safety on London roads’. Researchers spoke to 1,200 riders and found one in five had been involved in a collision and about 62% motorcyclists had been involved in a near-miss incident. In 2010, 4,337 motorcyclists were injured in London, which by 2014 rose to 5,233, an increase of nearly 21%. The report found the inconsistency over access to bus lanes causes "unnecessary confusion" as TfL allows motorcyclists to ride in bus lanes on the roads it manages, while many boroughs do not. It also asked TfL to monitor the impact of dedicated Cycle Superhighways on the road space shared by other traffic. The report also called on authorities to educate young riders. Valerie Shawcross, chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, said: "Arguably motorcyclists have been overlooked in public discussion about road safety in recent years. "However, 36 motorcyclists were killed on London's roads last year, a death toll that is unacceptably high, and part of a bigger picture of collisions and injuries affecting motorcyclists, many of them life-changing in their seriousness." TfL said that since September police had stopped 5,389 riders, issued 742 traffic offence reports, 1,335 verbal warnings, seized 96 motorcycles and made 10 arrests. Police will also target the boroughs where motorcyclists are at greatest risk of injury. Leon Daniels, TfL's managing director of surface transport, said: "On-street education and enforcement, substantial investment in improving rider skills and guidance to help engineers design roads so that they are safer for riders, all form part of a concerted effort to improve road safety in the capital."

The number of motorcyclists killed on London's roads reached 36 in 2015, Transport for London (TfL) data showed.

The 28-year-old, who won the Premier League title during a season-long loan at Leicester last season, has "extra bone growth" in the joint. He said he is "bitterly disappointed", adding: "I started to feel some pain in my ankle after returning from the training camp in America. Dyer signed a four-year contract extension with the Swans in August. He added: "I saw a specialist last week and the MRI scan revealed the extra bone growth at the back of my ankle. There is not a lot I can do about it."

Swansea City midfielder Nathan Dyer is to have ankle surgery and will be out for up to two months.

Space fans around the world have marked Rosetta's demise with a mix of celebration and poignancy. "Today is the big moment: #Rosetta lands on #67P and reunites with #Philae *so excited* :D," tweeted one German fan. Many were sad about the end of the probe, as it headed towards the 4km-wide, duck-shaped comet. Scientists have used Rosetta to study 67P's characteristics, such as its chemical and mineralogical composition. Data from the comet has also had implications for scientists studying the origin of the solar system. Perhaps these guys were one discovery? Many also recalled Philae, the robot lander launched from Rosetta, which dropped onto the comet in 2014. Philae was lost in February when its battery ran out, but ground control managed to find it again through images Rosetta sent back. The images and other data suggested Philae landed at an awkward angle and so could only work off one single charge of its solar battery. More than one person has imagined a happy reunion between Rosetta and Philae. Rosetta was named after the Rosetta Stone, which was key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. Philae is an island in the Nile where archaeologists found another inscription that confirmed their interpretation of the stone. Those who have been following the mission since it began in 2004 prepared accessories to help them face the end. And it's not just scientists - the media have also eagerly followed the mission. And some fans just wanted to mark the moment... Dr Paul Coxon told the whole story of Rosetta with creative use of emojis: The NASA Cassini spacecraft tweeted its respects to Rosetta: As did the Mars Curiosity Rover: And finally Rosetta's last tweet...

Rosetta, the European Space Agency's probe, has crashed on to the surface of comet 67P, ending its two-year tracking mission.

The Levada Centre surveys political opinion among Russian people. Its director, Lev Gudkov, said the move, which comes two weeks before parliamentary elections, amounted to "political censorship". Laws require all NGOs receiving any overseas funding to register as foreign agents and so face restrictions. The Levada Centre cannot now conduct any work linked to the election campaign. Mr Gudkov told Agence France-Presse news agency: "The consequences of such a decision for us are devastating - with such a label, we won't be able to work. "This practically means the imposition of political censorship and the impossibility of independent polls. It's the typical behaviour of this repressive regime." The other main pollsters are state-controlled. The justice ministry said Levada had been "included in a register of non-commercial organisations that fulfil the functions of a foreign agent" following an unannounced document check. Legislation passed in 2012 has designated as foreign agents a number of rights groups, including Memorial, and the independent election monitoring group Golos. The Moscow Times said the latest move followed a complaint by the pro-Kremlin Anti-Maidan movement over alleged US funding of Levada. In May 2013, Levada had said it was being targeted for branding as a foreign agent and had suspended foreign funding. The Russian authorities say the law is needed to protect Russia from outside attempts to influence internal politics. But critics say it could be used to prevent NGOs denouncing vote-rigging and other abuses.

Russia's leading independent polling agency has been labelled a "foreign agent" by the justice ministry and says it cannot now work.

Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust said funding offered by central Norfolk clinical commissioning groups (CCG) does not meet the "volume of demand". A trust board meeting was told the CCGs were "not commissioning sufficient capacity" in beds or staffing levels. The central Norfolk CCGs said they were still in negotiations. At the meeting Andrew Hopkins, director of finance, said funding arrangements had been agreed with all its CCGs apart from central Norfolk. The meeting heard the plans put forward by central Norfolk CCGs did not provide enough funds for out of area placements, when no beds can be found in the area. There were also issues surrounding staffing levels. In previous years, the trust has been criticised over the need to send patients outside of Norfolk and Suffolk due to a shortage of mental health beds. The BBC revealed that in November last year the cost of sending Norfolk and Suffolk mental patients to other parts of the country almost tripled to £600,000, from an average of £200,000 a month in December 2013 to September 2014. In December, the trust said the number outside the counties had been cut to 24 from a high of 50 earlier in the year. Non-executive director John Brierley said: "The issue is the commissioners are not commissioning sufficient capacity to the volume of demand." If no agreement is made the dispute will go to arbitration where a final decision is made by NHS England and health watchdog Monitor. Trust chief executive Michael Scott said after the meeting: "We don't think there is adequate funding for mental health. It remains the Cinderella service. "In some areas such as Suffolk and Great Yarmouth and Waveney we have managed to agree funding. "Unfortunately across central Norfolk we are unable to agree and we have to go to arbitration." A Norfolk CCGs spokesman said: "CCGs across Norwich, South Norfolk and North Norfolk are still in discussions with the trust regarding the 15/16 contracting year. "All parties are hopeful of a swift conclusion to current negotiations." In February, this year the trust became the first of its kind in England to be put in special measures due to it not providing a "safe service".

Cash for future mental health provision in Norfolk and Suffolk has "fallen short" of what is needed, prompting a dispute with an NHS trust and a funder.

It was one of seven prizes for the network at Wednesday evening's Broadcast Awards. Catastrophe picked up best comedy programme while The Paedophile Hunter was named best documentary. The Broadcast judges said Channel 4's output was "at its strongest since [chief creative officer] Jay Hunt took over in 2011". The channel performed particularly well in factual categories - winning in the news and current affairs category for Dispatches: Escape from Isis. It also picked up best popular factual programme for The Secret Life Of 4 Year Olds and best documentary series for The Romanians Are Coming. The wins come at an uncertain time for Channel 4. Last year, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said it was looking at a range of options for the channel's future after rumours that proposals to privatise the network had been put forward. It was not a clean sweep for Channel 4, however, as the station lost out in the drama category to BBC One's Doctor Foster. The list of winners included a special recognition award for the BBC's long-running satirical news quiz Have I Got News For You. The programme was commended by the judges for "remaining reassuringly familiar, while somehow striking the right tone on many of the complex and upsetting news stories that have come its way". Britain's Got Talent won best entertainment programme, after a difficult year for its creator Simon Cowell as viewing figures for his other major ITV show, The X Factor, decreased significantly. Other winners at the ceremony, which was presented by Jonathan Ross, included Emmerdale for best soap and Peter Kay's Car Share for best original programme.

Channel 4 has been named channel of the year at a television industry awards ceremony.

Saldana, who starred in 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness, will play the young pregnant wife who becomes convinced she is the target of a satanic cult. Mia Farrow famously played the role in Roman Polanski's 1968 film. NBC's Quinn Taylor called Saldana "one of our most gifted actresses" adding that she had "the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas" for the role. Based on Ira Levin's 1967's horror novel, the four-part drama will be directed by Oscar-nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland, who has worked on The Wire and The Killing. "With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this re-imagined event mini-series is off to a great start," added Taylor. Saldana recently completed shooting the lead role in the forthcoming Nina Simone biopic, Nina. The decision to cast her was criticised by singer Aretha Franklin and Simone's daughter who claimed she did not sufficiently resemble the star, who died in 2003. The biopic is due out later this year.

Avatar actress Zoe Saldana will play the lead in NBC's forthcoming mini-series of Rosemary's Baby.

He had been due to meet French President Francois Hollande and open a new Orthodox church later this month. But after France's government said talks would be confined to Syria the visit was halted, French presidential sources said. On Monday, Mr Hollande suggested Russia could face war crimes charges over its bombardment of Syria's city of Aleppo. The French presidency had told the Russians Mr Hollande would attend only one event with Mr Putin during the visit planned for 19 October - a working meeting on Syria, according to the sources. But after this Russia "let it be known that it wanted to postpone the visit", they added. A Kremlin source cited on Russian state media confirmed the meeting would not go ahead. It comes a day after Mr Hollande told French TV prosecutions over Syria could take place in the International Criminal Court (ICC). "These are people who today are the victims of war crimes. Those that commit these acts will have to face up to their responsibility, including in the ICC," he said. Neither Russia nor Syria is a member of the ICC. Moscow has repeatedly denied attacking civilians, and says it targets terrorist groups in Syria. Last week Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution drafted by France calling for an end to the bombing in Aleppo.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has cancelled a planned visit to France amid a row over Syria.

Three of seven blocks at Byron House at Nottingham Trent University have the Reynobond ACM PE panels. The university and the building owners are working with the local fire service to decide the next course of action. Nottingham Trent University said 30 students in the blocks were relocated to alternative rooms. The nine-storey Bryon House is located on Shakespeare Street directly above the university's student union facilities. More news from around the East Midlands National Student Union vice-president Shelley Asquith said: "We are demanding the government takes immediate action to ensure all halls are included in fire safety checks. "This needs to happen urgently to reassure students due to enrol in September." At least 79 people are feared to have been killed in the blaze at Grenfell Tower in London on 14 June. Prime Minister Theresa May has called for major national investigation into the use of cladding on high-rise towers. The university and University Partnerships Programme, which owns and runs the Nottingham halls, said they are "liaising with the fire service as a matter of urgency to agree an appropriate course of action". They said the blocks have "an extremely high-standard fire detection and alarm system, regular alarm testing and fire drills". The £60m Nottingham complex has a total of 559 student rooms and was completed in September 2013. Earlier this week in Edinburgh, it was revealed that the same panels were being used on parts of a new hall of residence at Napier University. The cladding will be removed as a precautionary measure. Cladding from 120 high-rise buildings in 37 local authority areas in England has now failed fire safety tests which were carried out in the aftermath of the tragedy.

Students have been moved from university tower blocks after they were found to have the same cladding as the Grenfell Tower block in London.

The Cobblers took the lead when Nicky Adams crossed in for Jack Whatmough to put the ball into his own net. The hosts had Kieron Freeman sent off for a challenge on John Joe O'Toole but restored parity a minute later when Kal Naismith fired from 25 yards. James Collins sealed victory for the visitors when he tucked home David Buchanan's cross from close range. Because the result meant they finished sixth, Portsmouth will now play Plymouth in the play-offs. Paul Cook's side will play at Fratton Park on 12 May in the first leg before the reverse fixture at Plymouth's Home Park on 15 May. Northampton's victory means they have gone 24 games unbeaten in League Two, as they finish the season 13 points clear at the top of the League Two table. Media playback is not supported on this device Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Solent: "It is a 2-1 defeat, it is not in good taste. "Obviously going down to 10 men so early in the second half doesn't help. With 11 men on the pitch we would have expected a different result. "There were two good teams on the pitch, we are playing against the champions so you have got to give them every credit."

League Two champions Northampton Town won their final game of the season against play-off contenders Portsmouth.

Brig Gen Fathi Bayoudh was reportedly trying to secure the release of his son, who had been detained by Turkish troops on the border with Syria. Tuesday's gun and suicide bomb attack killed more than 40 people. No-one has so far admitted carrying out the attack, but Turkey blames IS. Unnamed Tunisian sources told local and international media that Mr Bayoudh had been in Turkey for several weeks in an attempt to repatriate his son with the help of diplomats. "Bayoudh travelled to Turkey in an effort to meet his son, who joined the Islamic State in Syria a few months ago with his girlfriend," a security source was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. "Bayoudh's son travelled with his girlfriend who studied with him at the Faculty of Medicine a few months ago, which prompted several attempts by his father to persuade him to return." The head of consular affairs at Tunis' foreign ministry, Faycal Ben Mustapha, told AFP: "It was to do with their son. We don't know exactly what he did, but he went to Iraq and then Syria and ended up in detention in Turkey." A separate source told the news agency that the doctor was at the airport to meet his wife when the attack took place. Thousands of Tunisians have gone abroad to wage jihad, including to Syria and Iraq, the birthplace of IS. Estimates vary between 3,000 and 6,000 of them, making Tunisians the largest number of foreign fighters to join the group's ranks, according to some researchers. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has said the early signals indicate IS was responsible for Tuesday's attack in Istanbul. The group has carried out a string of bomb attacks across Turkey recently.

A Tunisian military doctor seeking to retrieve his son who had joined so-called Islamic State (IS) was one of the victims of the attack at Istanbul's Ataturk airport, reports say.

Manager Mick McCarthy confirmed striker McGoldrick, 28, will not need surgery but will be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks with an ankle ligament injury. Midfielder Hyam, 24, is set to miss up to a month with a knee injury. The Tractor Boys will also be without striker Brett Pitman, 28 and 21-year-old Everton-loanee Conor Grant when they face Wolves on Tuesday.

Ipswich Town's David McGoldrick and Luke Hyam are both set to miss lengthy periods through injury.

Jason Hayles, 44, of West Midlands Police, denies assaulting Clinton Copeland causing him actual bodily harm at Stechford police station in Birmingham on 25 February last year. He is alleged to have used excessive force against the robbery suspect. Jurors were told Mr Copeland was trying to bite Sgt Hayles' arm and chest. The officer is alleged to have used excessive force after grabbing the 30-year-old detainee around the neck when he lunged forward. Describing CCTV footage to the jury at Birmingham Crown Court, prosecutor Simon Davis said it showed Mr Copeland leaving a room where he had seen a doctor. Mr Davis said: "You will then see him go and sit on a bench as he was waiting to make a phone call to someone he had nominated." After a "lively debate" Sgt Hayles walked out from behind a custody desk towards Mr Copeland where it is alleged the officer struck him a number of times to the face, the court heard. Mr Davis added: "We say that this wasn't self-defence". Mr Copeland admitted lunging towards and swearing at Sgt Hayles before he was restrained and allegedly assaulted, but claims he did so in order to make his way back towards a cell. He denied he had lunged at the officer in a bid to assault him. He told the court his face was left covered in blood and he required an emergency head scan after being taken to hospital. Jurors were told Mr Copeland has numerous convictions for violence. The trial continues.

A police custody sergeant struck a detainee up to 12 times around the face and head after a dispute over a phone call, a court has heard.

The party will make a "clear pledge" not to increase the tax, which it says "hits pensioners and the poorest hardest", if it wins the election. Labour has repeatedly claimed the Conservatives would have to increase VAT due to the scale of spending cuts planned for after the general election. The Tories said Labour planned "hikes" in income tax or national insurance. The Liberal Democrats say their deficit reduction plans would not require an increase in VAT, with planned tax rises focused on the wealthy. VAT, which is levied on most business transactions and many goods and services, was increased from 17.5% to 20% in Chancellor George Osborne's first Budget in 2010. In a speech in Birmingham on Tuesday, Mr Balls will say: "The next Labour government will not raise VAT. "We will not put up VAT. And we will not extend it to food, children's clothes, books, newspapers and public transport fares. "We will not raise VAT because it's the tax that hits everyone. It's the tax that hits you every day. And it hits pensioners and the poorest hardest." Labour's announcement was "fully funded and paid for", he said. VAT is a key part of Labour's economic attacks on the Conservatives. Responding to last week's Budget, opposition leader Ed Miliband claimed the Conservatives would be forced to increase the tax because they would not be able to deliver their planned "colossal cuts" to unprotected areas of public spending. A Conservative spokesman said Labour had "let the cat out of the bag". He added: "Ed Miliband and Ed Balls have repeatedly said they will raise taxes. "It is time that they came clean with the British public about which taxes they will raise - income tax or national insurance."

Labour's general election manifesto will contain a pledge not to raise VAT, shadow chancellor Ed Balls will say.

The money, which comes from Stormont, has been freed up by a deal agreed between Linfield and the Irish Football Association. As far back as 2006 plans were drawn up for a 6,000 seater stadium, and more recently there have been calls for urgent funding to carry out essential safety works at Derry City's home ground. It now looks as if a share of a pot of £31 million will be made available, which will be directed towards the redevelopment of Brandywell and also a new stadium for Glentoran. A significant sum has also been earmarked for a national academy. The money was freed up through a new 51-year-deal between the IFA and Linfield over the use of Windsor Park. The chairman of Derry City, Phil O'Doherty, dismissed concerns that the stadium should not benefit because the club doesn't play in the Irish League. "We pay tax, we pay VAT so we should be entitled to the same facilities that would be in any Belfast football club," he said.

Millions of pounds are expected to be made available for the development of Brandywell stadium in Londonderry.

From Saturday, Central Line trains will not stop at Tottenham Court Road. Transport for London (TfL) has advised people to change at Oxford Circus or Holborn for alternative routes. The work is intended to improve access to Central Line platforms, with new entrances and lift access from the ticket hall and to the Northern line. Northern Line trains will continue to stop at Tottenham Court Road. By 2016, TfL said the station will be fully accessible and the ticket hall will be five times larger than its current size. Currently around 150,000 people use Tottenham Court Road daily but TfL expects this to rise to more than 200,000 when Crossrail serves the station in 2018. The station will have eight escalators, five lifts, new Art on the Underground installations, improved CCTV cameras and better lighting. The refurbishment of Tottenham Court Road Tube station is part of London Underground's (LU) £10bn programme of modernisation. Central Line services are expected to return to Tottenham Court Road next December.

Tube passengers are set to have their journeys disrupted for almost a year when Central Line trains cease stopping at one of London's busiest stations.

The proposed service allowing drug-users in Glasgow to consume drugs under supervision would be the first of its kind in the UK. A business plan identifies potential sites in the south-east of the city. It argues that money would be saved in the long-term by improving health and reducing offending in the city. Members of the health board, city council and police agreed the proposals in principle last October in a bid to address the problems caused by an estimated 500 users who inject on Glasgow's streets. A report to the Glasgow City Integration Joint Board reveals that the costs of the facility (SDCF) and a separate heroin assisted treatment (HAT) service are estimated at £2,355,680 a year. It said it would be funded by redirecting existing resources and using contingency funding for three years. Under the HAT service, some heroin users would be prescribed diamorphine by specially-licensed doctors. The report also reveals that the facility would house 12 individual "injecting booths" and possibly a small drug inhalation room. There would also be a reception and an after-care area. It argues that the facility is needed in a city where 90 new HIV cases have been diagnosed in Glasgow since 2015 among people who inject drugs. Susanne Millar, of Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, said: "The need for a safer consumption facility is about improving the health of those involved in public injecting. "Our aim is to provide a route to recovery for a group of people often disengaged from support services and improving the general amenity of Glasgow city centre. "Public injecting of drugs places considerable financial costs on the health, social care and criminal justice systems. "Existing research suggests the average monthly spend on health, addictions, housing and criminal justice service for people in Glasgow with complex needs ranges from £1,120 and £3,069 per individual per month. "These proposals are backed by evidence indicating SDCFs not only improve health outcomes for people who inject drugs, but are also highly cost effective and contribute to savings for health and social care services."

A controversial scheme to allow addicts to take drugs safely in "self-injection rooms" will cost more than £2.3m a year to run, according to a new report.

Thousands joined what was termed a "day of rage" in the Negev itself, Haifa, Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. The Bedouin say the plan will force them out of their ancestral land. Israeli officials say it aims to provide better services and infrastructure - and settle long-standing land disputes. Police in the Negev used tear gas and water cannon against demonstrators, some of whom were throwing stones, reportedly injuring 15 officers. Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that 28 people were arrested during protests in Haifa and the Negev village of Hura. The resettlement plan - which envisages Bedouin being re-housed in newly built state-planned towns - still has to pass two more readings in parliament. An open letter backing the campaign against the legislation, and signed by celebrities including Peter Gabriel and Julie Christie, was published in a British newspaper on Friday. Before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, groups of Bedouin Arabs lived a semi-nomadic life in the Negev but in modern times many have settled in what are known as "unrecognised villages". Because they have no formal planning status, they have no access to government services including supplies of electricity and running water. Some are no more than collections of flimsy shacks made from corrugated iron. However, the Bedouin and their supporters see the resettlement move as a smokescreen for a programme to cut the historic links between the Arab communities and their land, and to replace them with new Jewish settlements. Israeli officials say the plan calls for the vast majority of Bedouin to live where they are, while allowing them to preserve their traditions in a modern state.

Bedouin Arabs living in Israel have been protesting in the Negev Desert and towns and cities over government plans to resettle them.

Mills, who can play at fly-half or centre, joined from Gloucester in 2014 and helped Warriors win promotion to the Premiership in his first season. The 24-year-old has kicked 99 points in 14 appearances this term, skippering them in the European Challenge Cup. "Recent changes that have happened behind the scenes were massively important in me making my decision to stay," Mills told the club website. Mills produced a metronomic performance against reigning Premiership and European champions Saracens in February, scoring all of his side's points in Worcester's 24-18 victory. Worcester have not disclosed the length of Mills' new deal. He added: "I'm extremely happy off the field and on the field we've been making big progress in recent weeks. "Now we're all focused on finishing the season strongly and to give us a great platform going into next year."

Ryan Mills has signed an extension to his contract with Worcester Warriors.

The swimmer, who won three gold medals at the Rio Games last year, received the award at Buckingham Palace. Her golden hat trick came with wins in the 100m backstroke,the 200m freestyle gold and the women's SM14 200m individual medley. The 100m backstroke win to retain her London 2012 title set a new record. At the Brazil Games, she also won silver in the 100m breaststroke, the weakest of her four events. The 21-year-old from Seaforde in County Down competes in the S14 class for swimmers with an intellectual disability.

Northern Ireland's four-time Paralympic gold medal-winning swimmer Bethany Firth has been recognised with an MBE.

Next week's final takes place in Ghent. The city is 35 miles from Molenbeek, the focus of a manhunt for one of the suspects involved in the Paris attacks. "I don't want to live in fear each time I step on a court," said Murray, 28, who has been named in the provisional five-man squad for the tie. Tuesday's football friendly with Spain in Brussels has already been cancelled. Belgium's government has raised the terror threat level to three in the country, and the International Tennis Federation said in a statement on Monday it was "continuing with preparations" for the Davis Cup final "with the emphasis on security operations". Meanwhile, the Lawn Tennis Association, British tennis' governing body, said: "The LTA is in regular dialogue with the ITF on event security relating to the Davis Cup final. We are also taking advice from the Foreign Office and will continue to closely monitor the situation. "The safety of everyone in the British contingent, including our players and fans, remains our number one priority." Aside from British number one Murray, James Ward, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot are also on the provisional list for Great Britain's final against Belgium, which will take place from 27 to 29 November. GB captain Leon Smith no longer has the option of bringing in British number two Aljaz Bedene. The 26-year-old's appeal in Prague has been adjourned until next year, so he is ineligible. Bedene played in the Davis Cup for Slovenia three times before gaining UK citizenship in March, but a Davis Cup rule change prevents players representing a second country. Bedene is appealing on the grounds his passport application was lodged before the rule changed at the start of 2015. Smith will name his final four at the draw in Ghent on the eve of next week's final.

Britain's Andy Murray says he is not afraid to play in the Davis Cup final despite security concerns in Belgium.

Nuart has taken place in Stavanger, Norway, since 2001 but was introduced in Aberdeen earlier this month. Images both large and small appeared on city buildings. Business-led initiative Aberdeen Inspired will decide next month whether to bring the festival back. Council backing would then be sought. The images attracted intense interest on social media. Walking tours organised to guide members of the public around the artwork also proved popular. A council spokesman said: "Given the enormous success of Nuart, there is a desire from both Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen Inspired to see the festival return to the city in the near future. "It is hoped that Nuart will become a fixture in the cultural calendar and officers have been asked to look at what needs to be done to help secure its presence in the longer term."

A major street art festival which saw paintings appear on buildings across Aberdeen could be returning for the next three years.

Exeter lost 4-1 at home to Oxford on Tuesday, their worst defeat at St James Park since October 2011 and their third loss in a four-game winless streak. "It's difficult to put your finger on things at the moment, things are bit of a mess," Nicholls told BBC Sport. "We're working our hardest to try to put things right, we all just need to be pulling in the right direction." The losses come just a few weeks after a three-game winning run in League Two had left the club four points off the play-off places. "We're stuck in a bit of a rut over the last two weeks, but we don't feel like a lot has actually changed," added the former Northampton Town player. "It's a time where we need to stand up and be counted, because there's only us in the dressing room that are going to get us out of it. "We just need to keep the positive turn on things and try to improve things game after game." Exeter's gap to the play-off places is now eight points with 14 games to go and Nicholls believes that, while it will be difficult to make the play-offs, it will not be impossible. "We're going to have to turn things around quickly if we're going to achieve something this season," he said. "I think everybody in the dressing room still believes we can do it, I know it's going to be tough, but we have to believe that we don't want the season to peter out and the mindset of the group is that. "We want to put some performances together, get some wins and get back really in touch with the play-offs."

Exeter City forward Alex Nicholls says the squad are working as hard as they can to end their recent poor run.

That's the argument of Eli Pariser's book The Filter Bubble, which we explored in a film for Newsnight on Tuesday evening. Mr Pariser says web giants, from Google to Facebook to AOL, are racing to gather more information about our likes and dislikes so that they can send us targeted advertising - which will prove more valuable to them. He fears this will mean that we don't get to see information that challenges our world view, and will ultimately be bad for democracy - if you're an American in favour of gun control, for instance, you will tend to see information that reflects your views, while members of the National Rifle Association will be served up sites that chime with their stance. But Sam Barnett, whose advertising technology firm Struq helps to track and target consumers according to their habits, told us that personalisation was a positive force. He says that better targeted advertising is vital to the economics of the web - and that will mean that we can all go on enjoying the free services we get now. We also tested an example of personalisation that Eli Pariser cites in his book. He found that Google's personalised search system, switched on for everyone at the end of 2009, meant that two people doing identical searches got very different results. He cites an example where two people from the same area of the United States search for BP - one finds investment information, the other news about the oil spill. I did a number of Google searches - then visited two neighbours and asked them to type the same terms into the search engine. Lo and behold, they confounded the Pariser theory and came up with identical results to mine. Here are the top links we all found for the term "is wind power economic?" and then "banana bread" . Maybe three people in the same street were too similar - in location anyway. So let's try to crowdsource this experiment. Try the searches yourself and let us know whether you too get the same results as mine.

Is the internet entering the era of personalisation, where web firms know so much about us that they are able to serve us up a view of the world which is like looking in the mirror?

Shillingford, 30, and team-mate Marlon Samuels were both reported to the ICC for suspected illegal actions during last month's Test series in India. Meanwhile, Samuels, 32, has been banned from bowling his quicker deliveries. Shillingford's arm was found to extend more then the permitted 15 degrees for his off breaks and doosras. Samuels exceeded the 15-degree limit for his quicker balls, but he is allowed to continue bowling his standard off breaks. A batting all-rounder, he has played for the Windies as a specialist batsman before now, although Shillingford - a specialist bowler - now faces withdrawing from international cricket until he remodels his action. The pair have 14 days to lodge a written appeal to the ICC, although West Indies are currently in the middle of a Test series in New Zealand. Shillingford and Samuels both played in the first two Tests, although Samuels did not bowl. The third Test begins in Hamilton on Thursday, with one-day and Twenty20 internationals to follow. Both players have previously been suspended from bowling in international cricket for illegal actions. However, they were allowed to resume bowling after undergoing remedial work and further testing. Samuels was banned from bowling in February 2008 because his arm extended more than the permitted 15 degrees for off-breaks and quicker deliveries. Although the Jamaican continued to play as a batsman, he did not resume bowling in international cricket until September 2011, having served an unrelated two-year suspension from cricket between May 2008 and May 2010 for passing information to a bookmaker. Shillingford, from Dominica, was reported after his international debut in November 2010 and banned a month later when his average elbow extension was found to be 17 degrees. He was cleared to return in June 2011.

West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford has been suspended from bowling in international cricket by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Appearing on Australian Channel Nine's 60 Minutes programme, Clarke addressed many of the controversies that defined his 115-Test career. He spoke about how he thought he was a bad vice-captain and that he had riled former team-mates. But he also attempted to clarify previous comments about his team-mates. According to leaked court documents, former coach Mickey Arthur claimed in 2013 that Clarke had called Watson "a cancer" on the national side. But Clarke told the programme: "No, I didn't say that. "I said that there is a number of players, a group in this team at the moment, that are like a tumour and if we don't fix it, it's going to turn into a cancer." Asked if that applied to Watson, Clarke replied: "Shane was one of those players, yes." Clarke also shed light on an infamous dressing-room blow-up at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2009 after the Test win over South Africa. Team-mate Simon Katich reportedly grabbed then vice-captain Clarke by the shirt over a disagreement about when the team song would be sung. He said he had "every reason" to be angry, but "I don't think my language was appropriate". Clarke also revealed that cricket has never been the same for him after the death of his friend and team-mate Phillip Hughes. Hughes was hit in the neck by a ball in November 2014 and died a few days later. "I guess I probably tried to tell myself that there was a chance he'd be OK," Clarke said. "But I think I knew there wasn't. I spent the whole night talking to him. That breaks my heart the most. "It was always hard to play cricket after that. I felt fear for the first time in my life when I played cricket."

Ex-Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has said some players have been "like a tumour" on the sport, but denied calling Shane Watson "a cancer".

Brian McKandie, 67, was found at Fairview Cottages in Badenscoth, Rothienorman, on Saturday 12 March. Two men were reportedly seen speaking to him the Friday before. Det Ch Insp Iain Smith said a "heavy weapon" had been used. Police Scotland officers are carrying out searches for the murder weapon, and have also asked for dashcam footage from drivers. One of the men said to have been seen with Mr McKandie was in his 50s and heavy set. The other was a younger man. They were beside a burgundy or maroon estate car, possibly a Saab or Volvo. They were seen talking to Mr McKandie between 13:00 and 14:00 on the Friday. Officers have also appealed for two men seen talking to Mr McKandie between 17:00 and 18:00 on the Friday. One was described as in his 20s, and the other in his 30s or 40s. Det Ch Insp Smith said: "It may be that the second set of men we are looking to speak to are the same as the first two or it could be another pair however we are appealing for these men to come forward or to anyone who may have seen them talking to Mr McKandie. "A number of members of the public have come forward with dashboard camera footage and information and we continue to appeal for people to do so as this may be relevant to our enquiries. "We can confirm that a weapon was used during this brutal murder and we are carrying out searches for any kind of instrument which may have been used."

A weapon was used in the "brutal" murder of a 67-year-old man at his Aberdeenshire home, police have said.

The Hammers said on 30 November the 26-year-old would be missing for six weeks because of a thigh injury, meaning he would not return until mid-January. But boss Slaven Bilic said on Thursday that Sakho faced up to eight more weeks out, taking him to mid-February. The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations starts on 14 January. Two years ago, Sakho withdrew from Senegal's squad with a back injury but scored 18 days later in West Ham's FA Cup 1-0 win at Bristol City. As a result, the club were fined £71,000 by world governing body Fifa. Last month, in only his second appearance of an injury-plagued season, he scored in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United. The forward, who joined West Ham in 2014 from French club Metz, had only returned from a back injury in the defeat at Tottenham on 19 November. West Brom were keen to sign Sakho for £15m in August but the deal was called off because of a back problem. West Ham are 13th in the Premier League table, five points above the relegation zone. The Hammers visit struggling Swansea on Boxing Day (15:00 GMT) before travelling to Leicester City on 31 December (15:00 GMT).

West Ham and Senegal striker Diafra Sakho will miss the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations after being ruled out for up to eight more weeks with a back injury.

James Brindley was talking to his girlfriend on the phone when he was attacked in Aldridge town centre shortly before midnight on Friday. Crimestoppers say the reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The charity's Pauline Hadley said: "Nobody should be allowed to get away with such a callous attack." More Birmingham and Black Country news Mr Brindley was stabbed in the heart after a night out with friends and "died at the scene in his parents' arms", police said. A statement from Crimestoppers said Mr Brindley was seen having a disagreement with two men before he was stabbed. One of those men, seen at the entrance of The Croft near Little Aston Road, is still wanted for questioning. Ms Hadley, West Midlands regional manager for Crimestoppers, said: "I cannot begin to imagine what James' girlfriend and family must be going through at the moment after such a senseless and tragic murder. "That is why I am appealing to local people who might have any information, to contact Crimestoppers anonymously. "Never will you have to give any personal details, and I promise that once you have put the phone down or submitted your information on our website, you're done." A campaign to raise money for Mr Brindley's funeral has exceeded its £9,000 target. West Midlands Police issued CCTV of four cars seen travelling along Little Aston Road towards the town centre at the time of the attack. Police are still hunting for the murder weapon.

A reward of £10,000 has been put up to find the killer of a 26-year-old man stabbed to death near his home.

The meeting, in Hemsworth, the site of one of the fire stations earmarked for closure, was attended by about 110 people. The FBU said people's lives would be "threatened" if the cuts went ahead. West Yorkshire Fire Service accepted local residents had "concerns". The fire authority in West Yorkshire has to save £18m in the next four years due to government funding cuts. The 10 fire stations earmarked for closure are Gipton, Stanks, Rawdon, Otley, Brighouse, Elland, Hemsworth, South Elmsall, Batley and Dewsbury. However, the fire authority also proposes to build five new stations based at "optimum sites". West Yorkshire Fire Service currently operates 48 fire stations across five districts. Mark Wilson, FBU brigade secretary for West Yorkshire, said the meeting had shown people "did not want these proposals". "The fact that over 100 people came here on a Friday night when they could have been doing something else is testament to the opposition to these proposals," he said. "Overwhelmingly, people opposed the scheme." Steve Rhodes, area manager for West Yorkshire Fire Service, said there had been "lots of debate". "The community has concerns. They understand the rationale, but don't support the change," he said. The meeting was part of a three-month consultation over the proposals which ends on 9 December. The results of the consultation will be presented to West Yorkshire Fire Authority at a meeting on 16 December where a final decision is expected to be made.

A public meeting to discuss proposals to cut 102 firefighters' jobs and close 10 fire stations in West Yorkshire revealed "overwhelming" opposition, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has said.

The government wants an end to sporadic attacks in the province, which it blames on Islamist militants. A police statement said cars are the main means of transport for terrorists. Drivers in the Bayingol area who refuse to install the system will not be allowed to buy fuel. Xinjiang has seen a series of bombings and knife attacks over recent years, which the government blames on separatist elements of the region's large Muslim Uighur population. Rights groups say the violence is due to the tight controls by the government on Uighurs' religion and culture. The government denies any repression. The vehicle-tracking programme will use China's homegrown Beidou satellite navigation system, which was launched to reduce reliance on the US's global positioning system (GPS). It would also help car owners to find their vehicles quickly if they are stolen by terrorists, the state-run Global Times newspaper said. Security in the region has been further increased after five people were killed by three assailants in a knife attack last week. The attackers were shot dead by police. Security forces held an anti-terror rally on Saturday, parading hundreds of armed men through the streets of the regional capital Urumqi. In June, Xinjiang police ordered residents to provide DNA samples and other biological data when applying for travel documents. The move, which the government said was also to combat terrorism, was criticised by human rights groups.

Chinese authorities in part of the western Xinjiang region have ordered all vehicles to be installed with satellite tracking devices as part of a crackdown on terrorism.

Built in 1937, the concrete structure was the "last fragment" of the derelict seaside lido used for the street artist's "Bemusement Park" exhibit last year. Conservationists said they had been told the fountain, in Weston-super-Mare, would be spared from destruction. But North Somerset council said it was demolished due to its poor condition. Visitors to Dismaland were greeted by the sight of the fountain upon entering, and it was picked out by a spotlight at night. Its dilapidated appearance, however, was not the work of the elusive Banksy, but rather a truck which hit the fountain after the site became derelict. The impact caused the upper cascade to tip over, leaving it sitting on its side atop the bottom part of the structure. Weston Civic Society chairman Howard Smith said he felt "angry and upset" the fountain had gone. "They [the council] gave us an assurance at the end of last year that it would be conserved," he said. Mr Smith said the fountain survived the building of the Tropicana at a time when the original diving stage was destroyed. "It was the last fragment of the actual bathing part of the original Art Deco pool. "It was a beautiful object and it would not have taken much to erect it in another part of the town." Work to turn the site into a space for arts and performances has been taking place since the end of 2015. A spokesman for the council, which owns the site, said: "The top of the fountain was dislodged, the surround of the base was broken down and could not be used as a water reservoir, the main stem had numerous cracks in the structure and the edges on the lower main tier were damaged. "Given its condition, the decision was made to take it down and demolish it."

The demolition of an Art Deco fountain which featured in Banksy's Dismaland show has been slammed by campaigners.

The former Manchester United stars want to build a tower block in their home city including apartments, offices, restaurants and a five-star hotel. The 20th Century Society has asked for the Manchester Reform Synagogue to be "listed" to block the players' £200m St Michael's development on Jackson Row. Historic England will assess whether to give it Grade II listed status. The 1953 synagogue would be bulldozed and rebuilt on the site close to Manchester Town Hall under plans to be submitted later this year. The 19th Century Sir Ralph Abercromby pub and the former Bootle Street police station also face being demolished. Tess Pinto, the 20th Century Society's conservation advisor, told the BBC: "We are worried about these plans in particular because the site contains three interesting and beautiful historic buildings. "And in their place they want to put up 31-storey skyscrapers which will have a serious impact on Manchester's skyline." However the Jewish congregation support plans for a new synagogue as the old one is "damp and outdated" with limited parking. An Historic England spokeswoman said: "The planning decision would still be up to the council. "However it is unusual for listed building to be knocked down."

Charity campaigners have applied to save a synagogue from being flattened by Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.

The Federal Justice Office (FOJ) said the accounts were allegedly used for bribes connected with the granting of marketing rights to tournaments in Latin America and the US. In addition, the FOJ said it had frozen some $80m (£54m) in 13 bank accounts. The action was taken in response to US requests for legal assistance, it said. "The US authorities can apply to have these assets handed over if they have a legally valid and enforceable seizure ruling from a US court," the FOJ said. The statement provided no details on who the bank accounts belonged to. World football's governing body has been in turmoil for several months, following numerous allegations of corruption. A number of top Fifa officials were arrested at a hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, in May. Some 14 people were indicted on corruption charges at the end of that month. Another 16 people were charged by the US Department of Justice on 3 December. And US authorities have in all charged 39 football officials and sports business executives over more than £134m ($200m) in alleged bribes for football television and marketing deals. Swiss prosecutors are also investigating Fifa's management as well as the award of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. And earlier this month, Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Uefa boss Michel Platini were suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following an ethics investigation. They were found guilty of breaches surrounding a £1.3m ($2m) payment made to Mr Platini in 2011. The Fifa ethics committee found the pair had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions. Both deny any wrongdoing.

Swiss justice officials say they have handed to US investigators documents relating to bank accounts allegedly used in the Fifa corruption scandal.

The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) anointed Shahbaz Sharif but he will first have to be elected to the National Assembly. Former petroleum minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will serve as interim PM. Nawaz Sharif stepped down on Friday following a decision by the Supreme Court to disqualify him from office over corruption allegations. The ruling came after an investigation into his family's wealth following the leak of the Panama Papers in 2015, which linked Mr Sharif's children to offshore companies. If Shahbaz Sharif, 65, is to take over, he must quit as chief minister of Punjab province and then win a by-election into parliament, which should take 45 days. Pakistan's Dawn newspaper said that Shahbaz Sharif's ascension to the prime minister's office was "considered to be a foregone conclusion". Nawaz Sharif, in a speech to a PML-N meeting on Saturday, said: "I support Shahbaz Sharif after me but he will take time to contest elections so for the time being I nominate Shahid Khaqan Abbasi." Nawaz Sharif stepped down after five judges reached a unanimous verdict on Friday. The court's ruling stated that Mr Sharif had been dishonest in not disclosing his earnings from a Dubai-based company in his nomination papers during the 2013 general election. The court recommended anti-corruption cases against several individuals, including Mr Sharif, his daughter Maryam and her husband Safdar, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and others. Mr Sharif, who was serving as prime minister for a record third time, was less than a year away from becoming the first in Pakistani history to complete a full term in office. He served as prime minister from November 1990 to July 1993 and from February 1997 until he was toppled in a bloodless coup in October 1999. The Panama Papers leaks in April 2016 revealed that three of Mr Sharif's children owned offshore companies and assets not shown on his family's wealth statement. But allegations of corruption have dogged Mr Sharif since the 1980s. Much of what the Panama Papers revealed was the subject of a federal inquiry in the mid-1990s. Profile: Nawaz Sharif

The brother of ousted Pakistani leader Nawaz Sharif has been lined up to take over as prime minister.

The majority of job losses will be in Samlesbury, Lancashire but roles in its Typhoon final assembly production team in nearby Warton will also be impacted. The company warned the move to slow jet production would hit its 2015 financial results. There are 13,000 workers at both sites. The Unite union said BAE was cutting "too far, too fast". The staff losing their jobs at Samlesbury are 237 production line workers, 97 professional or admin staff and nine executive managers. At the Warton site, 23 miles away, 28 productions jobs will also be cut. BAE, which also specialises in aerospace and electronics, said it would try to find opportunities elsewhere in the business to "mitigate" compulsory redundancies. Typhoon production sales are expected to drop from about £1.3bn this year to around £1.1bn in 2016, it said. The firm secured a deal to supply 28 Typhoon aircraft for the Kuwait Air Force in September, with deliveries from the Italian Typhoon final assembly line set to start at the end of the decade. It is also in talks with Saudi Arabia to try to secure further Typhoon purchases. Ian King, BAE chief executive, said: "Overall the company is operating in an improving business environment and we continue to win new orders, with good prospects for the future. "In the short term, action to extend the production life of Typhoon aircraft by reducing the current production rate... will impact the group's 2015 results." Ian Waddell from the Unite called on the government to "act urgently" to stop the haemorrhage of skilled UK manufacturing jobs. "It is vital that critical skills and capability are maintained by BAE Systems and their supply chain so that the ability to build the Typhoon in the UK is protected. "Cutting too far, too fast could lead to a skills shortage for when orders pick up." BAE slashed its earnings outlook, saying it now expected earnings per share to remain around 38p this year, having previously said they would be "marginally higher". In May, the company announced it would retain both of its shipyards in Glasgow and make its most significant investment in them for decades.

Defence giant BAE Systems is to cut up to 371 jobs as the firm slows production of its Typhoon fighter jets.

The French striker, 21, missed the end of last season with a similar problem but featured in recent European ties. Both he and suspended forward Leigh Griffiths, 26, sat out Wednesday's Champions League third qualifying round first leg against Rosenborg. "It could be to the beginning of September," Rodgers said of Dembele's expected return. "It looks like Moussa may well be out for the whole of the campaign, this European [qualifying] campaign so we have to adapt. "Throughout the course of the season, unfortunately for those players with that speed and strength, there are always hamstring niggles. "We saw it last year with Moussa. We saw it with James Forrest. We saw it with Scott Sinclair. We saw it with Patrick Roberts when Pat was here. "We have to heal, work hard to get back as quick as he can, knowing that it's going to be a real long season for us." France Under-21 international Dembele scored 32 goals in his debut season for Celtic after joining from Fulham last summer. Earlier this week, Rodgers said the club had no plans to sell Dembele amid reported interest from Marseille. Griffiths, who has scored 85 Celtic goals since 2014, is also nursing an injury. "We're hoping that Leigh can come back at some point," Rodgers told BBC Scotland before Wednesday's game. "Leigh's suspended and he's injured. He hasn't trained all week. "We've always been based around the collective and we're looking at that collective to find solutions for us." Asked if he may look to recruit another striker while the summer transfer remains open, Rodgers replied: "We'll see. "We'll talk about it as a coaching staff and a club to see where we're at. We don't want to be to rash. We only ever want to bring in players that are going to enhance the quality."

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says Moussa Dembele could be out until early September with a hamstring injury.

UFC president Dana White did not confirm McGregor's retirement but said he would no longer be fighting Nate Diaz on the UFC 200 card on 9 July. White claimed McGregor was withdrawn for refusing to fly to Las Vegas for a news conference and promotional photos. Last month, Diaz became the first man to beat McGregor in UFC. In a tweet posted on Tuesday, McGregor wrote: "I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya's later." The 27-year-old's coach, John Kavanagh, added: "Was fun while it lasted." Many mixed martial arts fans on social media reacted to McGregor's message with shock but others expressed doubt he was really planning to quit. Diaz responded to McGregor's comment with a tweet of his own: "I guess my work here is done. I'm retiring too." The American, 31, beat McGregor by choking the featherweight champion into submission. McGregor was previously unbeaten since signing to UFC in 2013, with career earnings in excess of $2.8m (£1.94m). He has made significantly more in sponsorship and promotional work. On Monday, McGregor posted pictures of himself training in Iceland before his rematch with Diaz. However, just a week ago, he issued a statement talking of his sadness following the death of Joao Carvalho after a fight in Dublin. "It is such a rare occurrence that I don't know how to take this," McGregor, who watched the fight from ringside, wrote. In an interview with ESPN, White attempted to clarify the situation, insisting McGregor was obligated to come to Las Vegas to promote UFC 200. "I respect Conor as a fighter and I like him as a person, but you can't decide not to show up to these things," he said. "He's in Iceland training. He felt leaving right now would hurt his training, but every other fighter on the card is coming."

Ireland's Conor McGregor has been withdrawn from the Ultimate Fighting Championship's main event in July, just hours after tweeting he was retiring.

The bodies of Julie Hill, 51, and her mother Rose, 75, were discovered at a property in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, at 22:10 GMT on Friday. Christopher Whelan, 20, will appear at Chesterfield Justice Centre on Tuesday charged with their murders. Julie Hill's dog, thought to be a terrier, is missing from the house, police say. Mr Whelan, of Dransfield Road, Sheffield, was arrested the day after the women's bodies were found by police and paramedics. Derbyshire Police said Julie Hill lived at the address in Station Road, while her mother lived in Sheffield. Anyone with any information, or anyone who knows the whereabouts of the dog, is asked to contact Derbyshire Police.

A man has been charged with murdering a woman and her mother after the women were found dead at a house.

Two girls, aged three and eight, and two boys, aged six and nine, escaped injury in the crash in Nab Tower Lane, Selsey in West Sussex, on Sunday. The driver and a female passenger were also unhurt. The woman, aged 36, from London, is also charged with being drunk in charge of a child under seven and is due at Worthing Magistrates' Court on 9 June.

A woman has been charged with drinking and driving after a car carrying four children overturned at a caravan park.

The cartoon which features in its current issue refers to the town of Amatrice, one of the areas hardest hit by the 6.2 magnitude earthquake last week. Amatrice is home of spaghetti all'amatriciana, a dish with ingredients including tomato sauce, and guanciale ham. The image shows an injured man and a woman standing next to a pile of rubble from which feet can be seen. Each of the standing figures has been named after a pasta dish. The bandaged man is shown under the words penne tomato sauce, a woman with burns is depicted as penne gratin, and bodies lying beneath layers of rubble as lasagne all beneath the heading "Earthquake Italian style". The cartoon which is being circulated on social media has attracted huge criticism globally and in Italy it has made the pages of Italian national newspapers La Stampa and Corriere della Serra. It is not the first time #CharlieHebdo has been used on social media to express outrage at one of its cartoons. @DaniBailo tweeted in Italian: "The cartoon you didn't expect. Worthy is the concept that satire is free but good taste has boundaries." While @Lellina23 posted: "This is disgusting. #CharlieHebdo you need to learn a little respect! #Italyearthquake #Italy" In another post @RNocerino goes into detail criticising the cartoon. In it he states: "All I would like to say is if Charlie Hebdo was bombed again I shall not be participating in the status Je Suis Charlie." The magazine is no stranger to criticism. In 2015 it published a controversial cartoon of the young Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi who drowned while fleeing Syria and has also posted controversial sketches of the Prophet Muhammad. Despite the current controversy the publication has also been seen as a beacon for free speech, with many of its defenders using the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie to defend the publication and its articles particularly following the attack on its offices in 2015. However this latest cartoon appears to even test the patience of those who once supported it and some social media users were quick to make that point: Produced by Rozina Sini, BBC UGC and Social News team

Satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo has been criticised on social media for a cartoon depicting Italian earthquake victims as pasta dishes.

The Toffees have rejected at least one £20m bid from Chelsea for 21-year-old England international Stones, with United also thought to be interested. "If he goes to Chelsea, he's not playing every week," said Ferdinand. "If you tell any young footballer to leave a club to sit on the bench, you've got to be a lunatic." Since joining Everton from Barnsley in 2013, Stones has made 44 Premier League appearances and earned four England caps. Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has said he is determined to keep hold of the centre-half. Ferdinand added: "He's at that stage of his development where he wants to play every week. "If he goes to Manchester United, he plays every week so that's the right club for him." Ferdinand, who played 453 times for United, believes Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal needs defensive improvements. United have Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett as central-defensive options, while Daley Blind also played there during pre-season. "I don't think Van Gaal knows his best defence - that's a problem in itself," said 36-year-old Ferdinand, who retired at the end of last season. "Part of the reason he doesn't know it is because he hasn't had a chance to watch them all play over a long time - consistently for 12 or 15 games. "If you don't get that familiarity between you as defenders, it's difficult to build foundations."

Everton defender John Stones should join Manchester United instead of Chelsea, according to former Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand.

Concerns had been raised over readiness of the two countries to co-host the competition amid threats of fan violence and racism. But in a BBC Sport interview, Pohorecki said Euro 2012 had been a big success. "We feel pride because a lot of people didn't really believe we could make it and we did," said Pohorecki. Host nation: France How many nations? 24 countries for the first time, up from 16 in 2012, playing 51 matches over one month Clashes between rival Russian and and Polish football fans in the Polish capital Warsaw marred a Euro 2012 tie between the two teams on 12 June. But while admitting lessons had been learned, Pohorecki played down both that incident and also isolated cases of racial abuse from supporters. "From all the specific reports I have, there is always something you can do a little bit better for the next tournament," added Pohorecki. "And the next tournament is in France so we will pass our knowledge on to them." He added he had been "surprised" by the BBC Panorama programme days before the tournament which asked whether Uefa should have chosen Poland and Ukraine to co-host the event after revealing evidence of racist violence at football matches in both countries. "I was surprised by it [Panorama] because in every country you can make this kind of programme," insisted Pohorecki. "You can make it in England, you can make it in the Netherlands... this kind of message I think you can make in any country. "At this kind of event, the size of the event, by definition and statistics there will always bring issues. "But if you have riots in Warsaw and then after you have a report from the medical side which shows six people in hospital... six people in hospital is a normal day. "A regular wedding in Poland is usually six people in hospital! So everything is about how you want to show it." Pohorecki backed Uefa president Michel Platini, who said the 2020 European Championship could be spread across various cities in Europe, rather than having a single host. "Why not? Is it a crazy idea? We will see," he said. "Never say anything is impossible because everything is possible."

Euro 2012 executive director Krzystof Pohorecki says Poland and Ukraine have proved the doubters wrong by hosting a successful tournament.

Kevin Hurley said the force had the highest rate of officers leaving in England. He wants the introduction of a "Surrey weighting", where police are paid more than the national rate. The Home Office said it would consider any recommendations made by the Police Remuneration Review Body. Speaking to BBC Surrey, Mr Hurley said: "We need to recruit 140 people this year and we've manage to recruit 32. "Additionally, our unplanned attrition has been 72 - it's therefore absolutely clear we are losing people quicker than we can recruit them. "All emergency services... are paid on national rates, but the cost of living is very different to Lincolnshire." There are currently 1,889 police officers in the force and 1,917 members of staff. Mr Hurley added: "You've got absolutely no chance whatsoever of buying a house in the county on police officers' pay." A Home Office spokesman said: "The Home Secretary will receive the first report of the Police Remuneration Review Body later this month and she will consider any recommendations it makes, including on regional pay. "Surrey Police officers can already be paid an extra £2,000 per year, at the discretion of the chief constable, as a south east allowance."

Surrey Police has lost experienced officers because the area is too expensive, the county's police and crime commissioner has said.

The paper says Russia's "independent domestic and foreign policy" has triggered a "counter-action" from the US and its allies. It accuses these countries of striving to dominate global affairs. The conflict in Ukraine, which began in 2014, has led to a sharp deterioration between Russia and the West. The updated National Security Strategy signed by President Putin on Thursday is the latest in a series that are critical of Nato. In 2014 Russia announced it was altering its military doctrine to take account of the Ukraine crisis and Nato's presence in eastern Europe. Kremlin adviser Mikhail Popov said at the time that Nato's enlargement in recent years meant the alliance was getting closer to [Russian] borders and presented an "external threat" to his country. Albania and Croatia joined Nato in 2009. In 2011, the alliance recognised four aspiring members - Bosnia, Georgia, Macedonia, and Montenegro. What next for President Putin? Is Russia still a key world power? Vladimir Putin: Russia's action man president Russia's National Security Strategy is updated every six years. The new version says Russia is strengthening its military "on the background of new threats to national security that have a complicated and interlinked character". The paper says Nato's recent build-up of military potential around Russia's borders constitute "violations of norms of international law". The BBC's Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall says that Mr Putin is determined through his interventions in Syria and Ukraine to wield his country's military clout, so that the world in general and the United States in particular realise that Russia is an equal partner whose interests must be accommodated. Our correspondent says Mr Putin wants the West to acknowledge Russia's right to treat its post-Soviet neighbours as part of its sphere of influence, free from links to Nato or any other Western-dominated alliance. He is on the lookout for levers to weaken Europe's ties with the US, our correspondent says, in the hope of one day turning Russia into Europe's main strategic partner.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed an updated national security paper describing Nato's expansion as a threat to the country.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said women taking some medicines, and remedies containing St John's Wort are affected. These women should take a double dose of the contraceptive pill, it said. An information sheet gives more advice. Levonorgestrel is a hormonal type of emergency contraception which can be used within three days of unprotected sex to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But scientists have discovered that certain ingredients in other medicines significantly reduce the effectiveness of the levonorgestrel pill. The MHRA said it was important that women tell their doctor, nurse or pharmacist if they are currently taking medicines to treat any of the following conditions. or have used one in the last four weeks: It said women affected by the clash of ingredients in their medicines could either use another type of emergency contraception - such as a coil - or take a double dose of the emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel. Pharmacists will give these women two packs which should be taken together at the same time. The MHRA has produced a new information sheet advising women what they need to do to make sure they get effective emergency contraception. St John's Wort is a plant with yellow flowers which is also used as a herbal remedy to relieve low mood and mild anxiety. The flowering plant grows mainly in Europe, Asia and North America. The name is thought to have come from its bright yellow flowers that bloom in time for St John's Day in June. St John's Wort tablets, which are made from the plant, contain hypericin which is used to treat depression, and hyperforin which has antibiotic properties. Dr Sarah Branch, deputy director of MHRA's Vigilance and Risk Management of Medicines Division, said: "Our new patient information sheet provides information on what types of medicines could interfere with how the emergency contraceptive works. "It tells women what steps they need to take to ensure they receive the correct dose." She added: "The earlier that emergency contraception is taken after unprotected intercourse, the better it works."

Women taking an emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel are being advised to check the ingredients of other medicines they are taking because they could stop the pill working.

A High Court judge in London ruled in favour of Anastasia Goncharova, a 24-year-old King's College graduate, who says she is Bendukidze's daughter. Bendukidze's widow Natalia Zolotova argued against sending the samples. Ms Goncharova might prove to be the heir. Bendukidze died in London in November. Aged 58, he had had heart surgery in Zurich a week earlier. The tissue samples are being kept under lock and key at Imperial College, London, on the order of a British coroner. But Judge Thirlwall said that if some samples were not released and sent to Moscow for testing there would be a risk of "grave injustice". "The results of the testing are overwhelmingly likely to determine paternity. There is no good reason to delay this fundamental step any further," said Mrs Justice Thirlwall on Wednesday. "The Russian court has ordered that the testing take place now. Further delay will achieve nothing." Ms Goncharova is embroiled in court cases against the tycoon's widow and his sister Nunu in Russia and Georgia. They both dispute her claim to be his daughter. Ms Zolotova, who writes for Russian Vogue, said she knew nothing about Ms Goncharova until the latter turned up at Bendukidze's funeral. The tycoon is reported to have had enormous wealth in Russia. He trained as a biologist and made his fortune in heavy industry in Russia in the 1990s. In 2004-2008 he oversaw economic reforms in Georgia under former President Mikheil Saakashvili. He also engaged in philanthropy, supporting the Free University of Tbilisi and Agricultural University of Georgia. Ms Zolotova stood to inherit his riches as his widow until Ms Goncharova contested the claim. If it were proven that Ms Goncharova was Bendukidze's daughter then she would inherit his fortune, but Ms Zolotova might still be able to stake a claim under Georgian law.

Tissue samples from the body of a billionaire Georgian tycoon, Kakha Bendukidze, will be sent from London to Moscow for DNA tests amid a court battle over his fortune.

The drugs were found on luxury yacht Makayabella after it was stopped off the coast of Ireland in September. David Webster, 44, Philip McElhone, 29, and Dawne Powell, 56, all from West Yorkshire, have been charged with conspiracy to import cocaine. All three will appear at Leeds Crown Court on 8 April. Mr Webster, of Rillmead, Otley, Mr McElhone, of Freemantle Place, Halton Moor, in Leeds, and Mrs Powell were remanded in custody following a hearing at Wakefield Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. Mrs Powell, of Netherfield Road, Guiseley, is also charged with money-laundering. It is believed the drugs, which came from Venezuela, would have had a street value in excess of £150m. The Makayabella was intercepted by Irish authorities while investigators also seized a 25ft (7.6m) motor boat called Sea Breeze, moored in Pwllheli, north Wales. Three men are awaiting trial in Ireland in connection with the seizure.

Three people have been charged in connection with a plot to smuggle cocaine with an estimated street value of £150m into the UK.

An explosion was reported at the Cheesecake Factory at about 18:00 local time on Thursday, according to police. Diners were safely evacuated and no one was injured in the reported blast. The man tossed a "homemade pyrotechnic device" containing gunpowder inside the restaurant before fleeing, a police official said. Garrett Gunkle, who was sitting with his wife at the bar, told KNBC-TV there was chaos as customers ran for the exits in the Los Angeles suburb. "People were jumping over one another, fighting to get over bar stools," he said. "It was very chaotic." The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department bomb squad joined Pasadena Police Department at the scene. Police Lt Mark Goodman said the device was not a pipe bomb or a Molotov cocktail, and no shrapnel or projectiles were ejected. Investigators say the suspect was described as Latino or Middle Eastern, about 6ft tall (1.82 metres), with a heavy beard and wearing all-black clothing. No getaway car was seen. A motive for the incident was unclear. "It could be a dissatisfied customer, a disgruntled employee," Lt Goodman added. Federal authorities were alerted to the incident, police told KABC-TV, but local authorities are handling the investigation.

Authorities are searching for a suspect who hurled a homemade incendiary device into a crowded restaurant in Pasadena, California.

At its height, 45 firefighters tackled the incident at Siteserv, Llandow Industrial Estate, near Cowbridge, which started on Tuesday at 19:20 GMT. Now, crews are removing refuse and continuing to damp down the site, said South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. It is thought they could remain at the scene for about a week. Siteserv, which employs around 200 people, was set up more than 16 years ago by brothers Nigel and Philip England. Earlier this week the company said it was working with investigators to help identify the cause of the fire. The fire involved about 1,000 tonnes of mixed household waste. Crews using two fire engines and a specialist aerial ladder are working at the site.

Firefighters remain at the scene of a Vale of Glamorgan recycling plant four days after it was devastated by a large blaze.

Carlsen sealed victory following three weeks of play and a series of tiebreakers in New York. Karjakin tied against Carlsen in 12 regular rounds but was beaten in the final phase of four quickfire games. Organisers said the event was followed by about six million chess fans around the world. Hundreds of spectators paid between $100 and $500 to watch the games at a former fish market in Manhattan, separated from the two grandmasters by soundproof glass. After his victory, Carlsen's supporters greeted him by cheering and singing "Happy Birthday", to mark his 26th birthday. The boy who conquered the chess world The prize of $1.1m (£879,000) is divided between the two players with the winner taking 60%. Chess reached the height of its popularity in the 1970s, when the game was overshadowed by Cold War rivalry. In 1972, the victory of American Bobby Fischer over Russian defender Boris Spassky at the World Chess Championship in Iceland was dubbed the "match of the century". Commentators mentioned current geopolitical tensions in connection with this year's match when Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the Russian president of the World Chess Federation, was accused by the US of collaborating with the Syrian government and barred from travelling to New York.

Magnus Carlsen of Norway has won the World Chess Championship for the third consecutive time after defeating challenger Sergey Karjakin of Russia.

The midfielder fired in off the bar midway through the second half moments after Rob Hall hit the Millwall post. Earlier, Millwall's Lee Gregory saw a penalty appeal turned down and Angel Martinez volleyed wide from six yards before the break. The Lions have one win in eight and sit 20th, six places and three points behind Bolton. Wanderers' latest win included a fourth-straight clean sheet and maintained their impressive run of form since Neil Lennon became manager on 12 October. Since then, they have jumped from bottom spot in the table to 14th with just two defeats in 11 games. At The Den, their victory was richly deserved as though Millwall rallied late on, the Trotters managed 14 shots to their hosts' eight. Eidur Gudjohnsen was handed a first start for Bolton since 2000 after agreeing a return until the end of the season. His team-mates Pratley and Tim Ream worked home goalkeeper David Forde in the early exchanges, either side of a glorious opening for Gregory, who shot wide of the Bolton goal after collecting a long ball. Magaye Gueye fed Andy Wilkinson to deliver accurately for Martinez to miss the target with his volley before the break, but it was moments after the restart when the game's contentious moment arrived. Again it was Gregory - the matchwinner in Millwall's 1-0 win at Brighton last week - who tested the visiting defence and he appeared to be pulled down by Bolton goalkeeper Andy Lonergan but referee Stuart Attwell waved away appeals. If given, the penalty would likely have seen the keeper sent off but his side capitalised when Pratley raced on to Chung-Yong Lee's pass to steady himself and fire a second goal of the season. Lonergan denied Martyn Woolford with a smart save in the closing stages as Bolton held on for a second away win of the season.

Bolton extended their unbeaten run to seven games with Darren Pratley's second-half winner at Millwall.

Gydol brynhawn Sul mae Theresa May wedi bod yn rhoi trefn ar ei chabinet newydd. Wrth ymateb i'r newyddion dywedodd Alun Cairns: "Rwyf wrth fy modd fy mod wedi cael fy ailbenodi i fod yn Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru ac rwy'n barod am y dyletswyddau. "Byddaf yn parhau i weithio yn agos ac yn adeiladol gyda busensau, awdurdodau lleol, cymunedau a Llywodraeth Cymru er mwyn sicrhau y canlyniadau gorau i bobol Cymru." Yn syth wedi canlyniad yr etholiad cyffredinol ddydd Gwener roedd Mrs May wedi cadarnhau bod y Canghellor, yr Ysgrifennydd Cartref, yr Ysgrifennydd Tramor, yr Ysgrifennydd dros adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a'r Ysgrifennydd Amddiffyn yn aros yn eu swyddi. Ddydd Sul cafodd Damian Green, a gafodd ei eni yn Y Barri, ei benodi yn Brif Ysgrifennydd Gwladol a Greg Clark yn Ysgrifennydd Busnes. Wrth iddi ddewis ei chabinet, y gred yw bod Mrs May o dan bwysau i ddewis aelodau a fydd yn uno'r blaid ac yn adfer ei hawdurdod hi fel Prif Weinidog wedi canlyniad siomedig. Llwyddodd Ysgrifennydd Cymru, Alun Cairns a'r gweinidog, Guto Bebb i gadw eu seddi ym Mro Morgannwg ac Aberconwy. Hefyd llwyddodd Gwenidog Brexit, David Jones i gadw Gorllewin Clwyd. Mae'r canlyniadau ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig yn golygu mai senedd grog fydd y senedd nesaf, a'r Ceidwadwyr yw'r blaid fwyaf. Ddydd Gwener dywedodd Theresa May y byddai'n ceisio ffurfio llywodraeth leiafrifol gyda chefnogaeth y DUP o Ogledd Iwerddon. Eisoes mae Mrs May wedi wynebu galwadau i ymddiswyddo. Yn ôl Anna Soubry, aelod seneddol Broxtowe, fe ddylai Mrs May ystyried ei sefyllfa wedi iddi arwain ymgyrch "drychinebus". Mae ASau eraill, yn eu plith Iain Duncan Smith, wedi annog Mrs May i aros gan ddweud y byddai brwydr am yr arweinyddiaeth yn "drychineb". Ddydd Sul ar raglen Dewi Llwyd dywedodd Guto Bebb bod angen cyfnod o sefydlogwydd nawr a chyfle i Theresa May ddangos arweiniad. Yng Nghymru fe gollodd y Ceidwadwyr dair sedd i Lafur er iddynt obeithio gipio seddi. Wrth gael ei holi gan y BBC ddydd Gwener dywedodd David Jones, ymgyrchydd Brexit a chyn ysgrifennydd Cymru mai Mrs May yw'r "arweinydd gorau sydd gan y Torïaid ar hyn o bryd".

Dridiau wedi'r etholiad cyffredinol mae'r prif weinidog Theresa May wedi cadarnhau bod Alun Cairns yn cadw ei swydd fel Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru.

The emergency services were called to the scene on Vinicombe Street, just off Byres Road, at about 13:55. A police spokeswoman said two men had been taken to hospital and another was treated at the scene. Their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. Building inspectors and the Health and Safety Executive have been informed.

Three workmen have been injured after a wall collapsed in the west end of Glasgow.

The actor and comedian previously hosted the 77th annual Academy Awards in 2005, when the reception to his opening monologue and some controversial jokes was mixed. "I'm so glad to be hosting the Oscars," Rock said. "It's great to be back." The 88th Oscars will be held on Sunday 28 February, 2016. Last year's ceremony, hosted by television and Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris, had the lowest Oscar ratings for six years, and were down 16% on the previous year, when Ellen DeGeneres had been at the helm. "Chris Rock is truly the MVP of the entertainment industry," said Hill and Hudlin. "Comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, documentarian - he's done it all. He's going to be a phenomenal Oscar host. " "We share David and Reggie's excitement in welcoming Chris, whose comedic voice has really defined a generation," said Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs. "He is certain to bring his amazing array of talents to this year's show." In 2005 - the year that Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby won best picture - Rock received a standing ovation before uttering a word and began by ordering the assembled A-listers to "sit your asses down". But as the LA Times recalls, Rock's performance was met with a range of reactions. USA Today described him "one of the worst hosts ever" while critic Roger Ebert praised a "home run" opening monologue that was "not shy of controversy". Rock's recent film roles include I Think I Love My Wife, Head of State, Death at a Funeral and and the first three films in the blockbuster Madagascar series, as the voice of Marty. In 2009 he wrote, produced and presented the documentary Good Hair. On TV, he created the series Everybody Hates Chris, which ran from 2005 to 2009. He most recently directed the TV comedy special Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo, which premiered this month on HBO.

Chris Rock is returning to host next year's Oscars ceremony, its producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin have announced.

The man's next of kin have been informed by the prison service but no other details have been released. The PSNI, coroner and Prisoner Ombudsman have begun investigations into the death. Head of the Prison Service Ronnie Armour said: "I would like to extend my sympathy and that of the Prison Service to the family of the man who has died. "My thoughts are with them at this difficult time."

A 38-year-old remand prisoner at Maghaberry jail died on Wednesday morning.

English, injured for much of this year, was unable to keep in contact with the leaders early on and despite a late burst finished fifth in 1:45.93. Rudisha won the heat in 1:43.88 ahead of American Clayton Murphy. The toughness of the qualifier was indicated by Poland's Adam Kszczot also exiting despite finishing third. Kszczot's time of 1:44.70 was not sufficient to clinch a fastest loser's place with only the top two securing qualification for the final. English, whose personal best is his Irish record of 1:44.82, said that he had performed "the best race that I could". "It was always going to be tough running two races in two days." added the UCD medical student. North Belfast athlete Breege Connolly is among three Irish women competing in the marathon at 14:00 BST on Sunday while Ciara Mageean will aim to secure a final spot in the women's 1500m when she runs in the semi-finals at 01:30 BST on Monday. Mageean is the second slowest on the 12 athletes in her semi-final on personal bests with only Germany's Konstanze Klosterhalfen having a slower lifetime mark. However, the statistic is unlikely to bother Mageean who looks in the kind of form to take a whopping chunk off her best of 4:06.49 some day soon. With sub four-minute runners such as American Shannon Rowbury (3:56.29), Kenya's Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon (3:56. 41) and Ethiopia's Dawit Seyaum (3:58.10) in her semi-final, it may well come in the early hours of Monday. Mageean's opponents also include Britain's Laura Weightman, American Brenda Martinez and Australian duo Linden Hall and Zoe Buckman.

Letterkenny man Mark English bowed out of the 800m in Rio after he was unable to produce any heroics in a semi-final won by Olympic champion David Rudisha.

The Foxes clinched the Premier League title after Chelsea held Tottenham. Wales international King and his side will go straight into the Champions League group stage. "I'll be familiar with the music, I've walked out to that a few times," said King, who used to carry the flag when he was a youth player at Chelsea. "I must have been between nine and 14 years old and you used to have to go around the side of the pitch, shake the flag and then quickly get it off before the kick-off. "Hopefully I'll be on the pitch a bit longer this time. It will be nice." King's part in Leicester's unlikely triumph has already earned him his own place in football history. He is the first player in the Premier League era to win titles in the top three divisions - a fact he says gives him a different perspective to some other players. "Having seen it in the lower divisions and not going so well, it probably does mean a little bit more to me," he said. "But that's not taking anything away from anyone else who's here because everyone else in this squad has given nothing less than 100% and that's ultimately why we've ended up winning the league." Leicester started the campaign as 5,000-1 outsiders for the title after almost being relegated last season. But they have lost just three league games in what has been described as the "most unlikely triumph in the history of team sport," and one which manager Claudio Ranieri doubts could be repeated. The rise of players such as striker Jamie Vardy - a non-league footballer four years ago - has added to the romance of Leicester's rise. "That's a story people like," said King, who made his Leicester debut as an 18-year-old in 2007. "Not just me but with Vards coming from non-league as well. "Other players getting released by so-called bigger clubs and everyone coming together and working their way up." Leicester can now look forward to Champions League football for the first time in the club's history next season.

Andy King is looking forward to playing in the Champions League with Leicester more than a decade after being a mascot in Europe's elite competition.

The 25-year-old sea turtle fell into a coma after a second operation on Sunday, following intestinal problems. Named Omsin, meaning "Piggy Bank", she was found to be eating coins thrown into a public pond where she lived, in Chonburi province. By the time they were removed, she was carrying 5kg (11lb) of coins. The unusual mass of metal had cracked her shell, making the initial seven-hour operation necessary. She was said to have been doing well after that surgery but developed blood poisoning at the weekend, which doctors said was the cause of death. The coins were thrown into the pond by visitors hoping for good luck - a practice some hope will become less common after widespread coverage of the case in Thailand. Omsin's demise prompted sadness and soul-searching. Many took issue with "merit making" practices common in Thailand, that sometimes harm animal welfare. Hopes had been high for Omsin's recovery. Even after she slipped into a coma, the surgeon leading the team trying to save her said they wouldn't give up. Doctors said the removal of the coins had created a space in Omsin's stomach that had probably blocked blood flow in her intestine. That became fatal after she suffered an acute intestinal infection.

A turtle in Thailand that had an operation to remove nearly 1,000 coins from her stomach two weeks ago has died from blood poisoning.

The 26-year-old Ghana forward, a £20.5m signing from Swansea, was injured 35 minutes into his Hammers league debut in the 2-1 defeat by Chelsea on Monday. "It is not good and he needs surgery," said manager Slaven Bilic after his side's 1-1 Europa League qualifying draw against Astra Giurgiu. "Four months is a big, big blow for us but we have to cope with it." West Ham co-chairman David Gold earlier tweeted: "Sad news. Ayew has injured his quadriceps and will need surgery. "He will be out for 4 months. Good luck Andre." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox.

West Ham's record signing Andre Ayew needs thigh surgery and will be out for four months.

Sylvan Parry, 46, from Caernarfon, Gwynedd, denies attempting to murder Fiona Parry on 3 September. Mr Parry's barrister told the jury at Mold Crown Court that he had "lost it" in a "moment of madness" but did not intend to kill her. It comes as the jury have been sent to consider their verdict. Mother-of-six Mrs Parry suffered life-changing injuries in the attack. In his summing up for the defence, Dafydd Roberts said: "If he had been hell bent on killing his wife, he had every opportunity to do it and we would not be here today." But the prosecution, in its closing speech, said witnesses had seen him kick her "like a footballer taking a penalty" and he was only stopped from stamping on her head when firefighters intervened. Prosecutor Sion ap Mihangel told the jury Mr Parry might have "regretted" his actions but it was his intention that morning to kill her. The court had heard the couple, who had been together for 16 years, had argued earlier that morning because she wanted amphetamine and they continued arguing on the school run. Taking to the witness stand on Wednesday, Mr Parry said they had "a Bonnie and Clyde" relationship. He said he had been on drugs at the time of the assault, agreed he had lost his temper but said he had not intended to kill her. He said he felt so ashamed that he had tried to kill himself. A Home Office pathologist had told the court that without the "fortuitous" intervention of the firefighters and the first aid they delivered, the outcome could have been much more serious. The case continues.

A man who attacked his wife in the street while walking their three children to school was "deeply ashamed" of what he had done, a jury has heard.

Barry is suffering from a hip problem while Monaghan has a knee complaint. "The League Cup is a competition that Derry have a reputation of having great success in and I would like to continue that," said Derry manager Kenny Shiels. "We will go in as full strength as we can be. We treat the competition with the utmost respect and want to win it." The Candystripes go into the cup tie unbeaten in their last seven league outings but will have had a day less to prepare given that they drew with Longford Town on Saturday night. "Sligo haven't won a game yet in the league but they have been getting progressively better and I like the way they play so we have to be careful with this one," emphasised the Derry boss. "The league is the platform you use for building for the future but the knockout competitions are important for morale and a good cup run gives a boost to the supporters. "We always look to the next game as the most important and we try to win every game. From Sligo's point of view, they will see this as a chance to gain some momentum."

Derry City will be missing injured duo Aaron Barry and Harry Monaghan for their EA Sports Cup second round tie against Sligo Rovers at the Brandywell.

Caton tapped in the opener from close range after Southport keeper Max Crocombe failed to handle a corner. The on-loan Shrewsbury winger collected Jack Muldoon's pass and shot low past Crocombe to double the lead. Louis Almond pulled one back for the visitors with a strike from the edge of the area, but Robbie McDaid fired in to seal the win late on. Lincoln City manager Chris Moyses told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: Media playback is not supported on this device "We were very good at times. They had a 15-minute spell where they came into it and got a goal but we went again and some of our football was top-drawer. "You have to back yourself, trust yourself and believe and that's what this group keep doing. They believe in themselves. They're a very positive group. "James Caton is great with the ball, he causes defenders all sorts of problems and it's given us another dimension. We're a lot more fluid when we break. We've got plan B and plan C and that's good."

Two goals from James Caton helped Lincoln City earn a comfortable victory over Southport in the National League.

The Welsh boxer, who competed in Rio last summer at lightweight, will make his professional debut on the undercard of Martin Murray's clash with Gabriel Rosado. Now fighting as a super featherweight, Cordina, 25, is hopeful of fighting up to eight times this year. "I just want to put on a good show and excite the fans," Cordina said. The former Commonwealth Games bronze medallist has changed his regime since turning professional, leaving the Newport gym where he trained with Tony Borg for several years to switch to Essex and Tony Sims' Matchroom gym. Cordina is settling well into his new surroundings, even with a famous new roommate for company. "It's all new to me but I'm enjoying it," added Cordina. "I wanted to have a change and learn something new, Tony Sims is one of the best trainers out there and I wanted to be with him and in that gym. "Tony is well respected in boxing and such a great guy, it was a big decision to make but I think I've made the right one. "I'm living with Ricky Burns in Essex, he's doing the same thing as me, home at the weekends but miles from home during the week, and he's a three-weight world champion, I want to be where he is and that's what I am trying to replicate. "I miss my daughter, she's only young and I want to see her grow up every day, but you have to make sacrifices in this sport. "It's the hardest thing for me to do but I've spent a lot of time away as part of the GB squad so I am used to it." Cordina would like to follow in the footsteps of one of his former stable mates - IBF world featherweight champion Lee Selby. "Being a part of Tony Borg's stable for many years and we still get on great," he said. "I've seen how far Lee has gone on and learnt a lot training by the side of him. "Lee has gone on to do great things for Welsh boxing and that's a massive target that I've set myself, to achieve great things just like Lee has done."

Olympian Joe Cordina will make his professional debut at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on Saturday, 22 April.

Prosecutors allege Bradley Long threatened the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, with violence and damage to his property. Mr Long will stand trial at Forfar Sheriff Court later this year. The charges are alleged to have taken place between May 2011 and June 2014, and October 2014 and March 2015. Mr Long is also accused of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner towards the man, being in possession of cannabis when he was detained by police and being concerned in the supply of cocaine. A further charge alleges that he failed to appear in court at a prior hearing of the case in February. Mr Long, 30, of Eastbourne, Sussex, was not present at the pre-trial hearing over the charges. Sheriff Pino di Emidio continued the case to a further hearing later in June and ordered Mr Long to appear on that date.

A man is to stand trial accused of attempting to extort £117,000 from another man and threatening to reveal private information to his family.

A staff member at Hudds Farm in Bradford-on-Avon said she was thrown from a horse when a Chinook helicopter flew overhead last Friday. The yard's owner Bernice Marshallsay said she knew there was a military exercise but had no warning about the aircraft. The MoD says it is doing all it can to minimise disturbance to the public. Vicky Fielding, 20, suffered bruising when she was thrown from the horse. "She panicked straight away and there was nothing I could do," she said. "I'll be anxious if I hear another Chinook coming over." Ms Marshallsay said: "We get no information at all and I've complained to the MoD on at least two other occasions and it still keeps happening. "It's not good enough. Somebody's going to be seriously injured before something's done about this." A spokesman from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it was raising the aircrews' awareness of horse riders. It is doing all it can to minimise disturbance to the public while crews train for operational duty, the spokesman added.

The owner of a livery yard in Wiltshire has said low flying aircraft could cause someone to be seriously hurt.

Manston Airport was bought by Ann Gloag, who co-founded the Stagecoach Group, for £1 from the New Zealand company Infratil in October. Since then it is understood the airport has been losing about £10,000 a day. Up to 150 mostly part-time jobs were placed at risk last month when the airport revealed it was holding a consultation over a possible closure. Ian McCoulough, from the Unite union, said: "I'm very disappointed." He said the offer was withdrawn at 07:00 BST and the union had been in a consultation meeting where a number of options had been discussed. He said further talks would take place on Thursday. Thanet councillor Will Scobie also said the withdrawal of the offer was disappointing for the area. When asked if this was the end for Manston as an airport, he replied: "It certainly looks like it. "All the speculation around over the last couple of weeks has been incredibly damaging for staff. They must be going through absolute hell." Thanet District Council had put forward plans for an existing enterprise zone at Discovery Park, the former Pfizer site, to be extended to Manston, a move that could help to bring investment to the area, he said. Hundreds of people attended a meeting last weekend to oppose possible closure of the airport, while Sir Roger Gale, the MP for Thanet North, and Laura Sandys, MP for Thanet South, have led moves to keep Manston open. Dutch airline KLM has already announced it will suspend its Cityhopper flights between the airport and Amsterdam from 10 April. A petition to keep the airport open has gained more than 12,000 signatures. On Thursday, Mr Gale said: "In politics you continually have to fight things that superficially might appear like lost causes. "There may come a time when, if the airport closes, we have to look to Plan B. Until that time comes, I remain hopeful." David Foley, from Thanet and East Kent Chamber of Commerce also said: "Sometimes it's not a financial argument that can attract people, sometimes it might be a whim. "We'd like to think that Manston can attract an owner with a serious intent at keeping it on as a going concern."

An offer from an unnamed potential buyer for a Kent airport facing closure has been withdrawn.

They said they were acting on information of suspicious individuals thought to be in the city or the area. Investigations were being carried out to "locate and arrest these individuals", a statement said. Islamic State militants said they carried out the 13 November attacks on multiple locations, killing 130 people. Investigations have been launched in several European countries, with two men linked to the attacks - Salah Abdeslam and Mohammed Abrini - still on the run, and others found to have travelled to France posing as refugees. While Geneva police's statement said that the hunt was related to the Paris investigation, Switzerland's federal police later said it was not linked. The authorities had gone from a "vague to a precise threat", said Emmanuelle Lo Verso from the Geneva department of security, RTS reported. In the latest developments: A conference on Syria's future, involving the US, Russia and the UN, is scheduled to begin in Geneva on Friday, but is not expected to be attended by world leaders. Some Swiss news outlets say the talks have now been moved from a UN building to an undisclosed location. The number of police on the streets of Geneva has been increased, so too has their level of alert. The border with France runs through the outskirts of Geneva and Switzerland is in the Schengen passport-free zone, so the borders are open. Security at the frontiers was stepped up in the wake of the Paris attacks, as well as at the UN where the world's senior diplomats regularly meet. But tens of thousands of people cross the Geneva border every day, and checking every car is unlikely to be possible. In a separate development, police in Belgium had searched three properties in connection with the attacks, the prosecutor's office said. This week, details emerged of a failed operation involving Belgian and Greek police to capture a suspected ringleader of the Paris terror attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Greek authorities had planned to capture Abaaoud in January, when he had been directing a Belgian terror cell from Athens, the BBC has learned.

Police have raised the alert level in Geneva, saying they are hunting for suspects as part of the Europe-wide investigation into the Paris attacks.

Luiz Carlos da Rocha - nicknamed "White Head" - is believed to be the leader of a massive cocaine empire in South America. Federal police said sentences handed down to Rocha amount to more than 50 years of prison time. Police said he was "a criminal who lived discreetly and in the shadows". The drug kingpin had been living under the assumed name Vitor Luiz de Moraes. Agents compared old known photos of Rocha to the images of the new suspect, "and concluded that Luiz Carlos da Rocha and Vitor Luiz are the same person". Brazilian police said his organisation was known to be violent, making use of armed escorts, armoured cars, and heavy weapons. It produced cocaine in Bolivia, Peru and Colombia, before shipping it through an elaborate logistics system to Europe and the United States. Luiz Carlos da Rocha is also accused of being one of the main providers of cocaine to criminal organisations within Brazil, in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In total, police estimate his empire produced some five tonnes of cocaine each month. Operation Spectrum - the name given to the sting - also seized some $10m (£7.6m) worth of criminal assets, including farms, other real estate, luxury vehicles and aircraft. Officers believe Rocha's wealth is closer to $100m, and say they will seek to seize the rest of his assets in the second phase of the operation.

Brazilian police have captured a notorious drug kingpin who used plastic surgery to evade capture for almost 30 years.

Bangladesh levelled the three-match series with an 34-run win on Sunday. But the hosts were also in a strong position in the opening match before a dramatic collapse gave England the win. "We know that if we put them under pressure - like we saw in the first game - they can crack a bit more than the bigger sides," said Moeen, 29. Earlier this year, Bangladesh lost to India in the ICC World Twenty20, despite needing only two runs from three balls to win. "They messed that up as well," Moeen added. "We know it will take them a bit more time to get over that kind of stuff. "It took us years and years and we still sometimes, under pressure, don't play as well." Bangladesh are going for a seventh 50-over series win in a row, a run that includes victories over India, Pakistan and South Africa. "They are a good side with some very good players," Moeen said. "They are hard to beat at home - we don't have that sort of record at home." England captain Jos Buttler was reprimanded following the second match of the series after he reacted angrily to a "send-off" from the Bangladesh players when he was dismissed on review. "Both teams have players who can get a bit heated," said Moeen. "It just spices things up a little more and now hopefully we can come out on top."

England all-rounder Moeen Ali says Bangladesh could buckle under pressure in their one-day series decider in Chittagong on Wednesday.

Media playback is not supported on this device Brownlee, 27, had to carry his bike for a mile and finished 42nd in Japan. The Yokohama race was his first triathlon since being carried over the line by brother Alistair in last year's World Series finale in Mexico. "It means that Leeds is very, very important," the 2012 world champion said of his home race on 11 June. He told the BBC: "It puts me on the back foot as there's been three races so far and I've not got anything from any of them. "I missed the first two with injury and then crashed at Yokohama so it means I have no room for error. "Every race I do, I've got to get points, top three really, to have a chance of becoming world champion." The Japan event was won by Spain's Mario Mola, the defending champion who pipped Brownlee last year and leads the 2017 series from compatriot Fernando Alarza. Brownlee, an Olympic silver medallist at Rio 2016 and a bronze medallist at London 2012, veered into the railings on his bike when trying to avoid a rider who had fallen in front of him in wet conditions. "I'm very lucky I didn't break any bones. I'm disappointed more than anything, it's a long way to go not to race properly and I felt like I was in good shape but I'm looking forward to changing things in Leeds and making it right," he said. You can watch coverage of the Leeds race live on 11 June on the BBC Red Button, Connected TVs, online and the BBC Sport app, with highlights on BBC Two and catch-up on iPlayer.

Britain's Jonny Brownlee says he cannot afford any mistakes in chasing the 2017 world triathlon title after crashing during the cycling phase of his return.

Cardiff University and the National Botanic Garden of Wales launched the hunt last summer for honeys which can counteract bacteria. They have created a honey map of Wales, pinpointing where the jars are coming from but they want to fill the gaps. Bee keepers in south Wales and other parts of the UK are taking part. Honey's anti-bacterial properties have been known since ancient times and it is believed it was used by both the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. Since last summer's appeal, scientists at Cardiff University's school of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences have been analysing honey sent in from across the UK. They are checking for honey with the potential to counter hospital acquired infections MRSA and Clostridium Difficile. Then the National Botanic Garden in Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire, profiles the DNA of the most powerful honeys, checking for the plants which contributed. This could allow scientists to create new treatments. Prof Les Baillie of Cardiff University said: "We have had a very enthusiastic response to our honey appeal, with jars coming in from as far afield as the Isle of Wight. "We've had some 200 samples sent in, 60 of them from Wales, and we have some very promising candidates for further research. "We now want to build up our picture of what's happening in Wales, and for that we need more honey from the middle and the north of country." Last year, scientists said Manuka honey could be used to combat some of the most hard-to-treat infections that are resistant to powerful antibiotics. Lab experiments show it can clear bacteria found in festering wounds and contaminated hospital surfaces. It works by breaking down the defences bacteria use against antibiotics, making it useful in treating super bug infections such as MRSA.

Bee keepers in mid and north Wales are being urged to help with research into the healing properties of honey as scientists look to counter MRSA.

Police Scotland said they had been alerted to footage showing a car overtaking on the A941 Lossiemouth to Elgin road. The incident allegedly occurred on Tuesday 8 March. Police said irresponsible drivers should be aware dash cams were now in common use in all types of vehicles.

Groups of sightseers in Kidlington have been seen posing for photos in front gardens and against parked cars. Locals have no idea why the quiet suburb, about five miles north of Oxford, has become a tourist magnet. Inspector Morse, Love Island and Harry Potter are among the causes suggested for the tourists' interest. The phenomenon was first identified in Benmead Road and the Moors on the Spotted: Kidlington Facebook page. The tourists are a short walk from thatched cottages and an old church, but prefer taking photos of themselves outside modern houses. "I do find it hilarious, but I am at a loss to understand it," one poster said. "Whose idea was it to turn Benmead Road into a tourist attraction?" Residents say the groups have been appearing for the last three weeks. "I have only seen them once. At midday on Saturday a busload of tourists disembarked with their selfie sticks, taking pictures of people's houses," said one. "It is bizarre, these aren't even the oldest houses in the village." Samantha Anderson said: "Saw them the other week, they were even in the gardens and at people's front doors." On Facebook Susan Patton said the town had "probably featured in an old episode of Morse which has been rerun". "Can't think of anyone famous down there?" Daniel Boon said. People pointed out billionaire Sir Richard Branson and Emma-Jane Woodham from ITV's Love Island had connections to the Kidlington area. Another wondered whether the groups were judging Kidlington in Bloom. Emma Layden suggested: "Perhaps it's because Kidlington is claimed to be England's biggest village?"

Residents of a village have been baffled by the weekly appearance of "coach loads" of tourists in their road.

The 2ft (60cm) statue of a young girl was presented to Burhill Primary School, in Pleasant Place, Hersham, in memory of the former pupil. The eight-year-old was murdered by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting in West Sussex in 2000. The statue was discovered after it was left outside a property in Cobham. Three people were thought to be involved in theft, which happened at about 01:00 GMT on Wednesday, Surrey Police said. The statue was believed to have been left outside the address in Northfield road between 05:15 and 07:30 on Thursday. Sgt Marc Nettleingham said: "The member of the public who found the statue, which is thankfully undamaged, had seen our appeal on Facebook. "We are continuing to carry out a number of inquiries to identify the offenders responsible for this theft." Police said a van was also seen in the area at the time of the theft.

A bronze statue commemorating murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne that was stolen from her primary school in Surrey has been found.

The minimum prison term has risen from 20 to 40 years. It will apply for all abductions, including those that last only a few hours or days, so-called "express kidnappings". The maximum prison sentence will rise from 50 to 140 years for those who kill their victims. Kidnappings committed by a public security official, such as a member of the police or military, will be punished with up to 100 years in prison. Kidnappers will also have to pay heavy fines. In reality, few people ever receive sentences longer than 60 years for federal crimes, but kidnapping is considered in a separate category. The number of kidnappings reported to the police has risen dramatically in Mexico in recent years. In 2007, 438 kidnappings were reported, but the number had risen to almost 1,700 last year. And the government estimates the number of kidnappings reported to the police could be fewer than 2% of the total. If that is the case, the real number of abductions could be about 105,000 per year. Analysts say accurate figures are hard to come by, as many abductions only last for hours or a few days until the victims empty their bank accounts at gunpoint or pay a ransom. Most are never reported to the authorities for fear of reprisals from the criminal gang which carried out the kidnapping. In January this year the Mexican government launched a nationwide effort to fight kidnapping. A federal prosecutor, Renato Sales, was named to head an anti-kidnapping committee that would co-ordinate efforts to fight abductions in the 10 Mexican states (out of 31) where 74% of all kidnappings take place. "Mexico needs to deal quickly and efficiently with the humanitarian emergency that this crime entails," said Mr Sales at the time.

Mexico has published new sentencing guidelines that will double prison sentences for kidnapping.
