Jeanette Parkinson was overpaid when she left Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust in 2012, an internal review found. Ms Parkinson and other midwives were accused of colluding over evidence given to an inquiry into baby deaths. Now former HR manager Roger Wilson, who signed off the deal, is being probed by the Care Quality Commission. A spokeswoman for the trust said he was being investigated under the fit and proper person test. This regulation, introduced in 2014, means that all people with director-level responsibility for the quality and safety of care, can be deemed unfit if they have been involved in "serious misconduct or mismanagement". Ms Parkinson, a maternity risk manager, was one of the midwives caring for newborn Joshua Titcombe, who died at Barrow's Furness General hospital in Cumbria in November 2008. He was one of 11 babies and one mother to die after being treated at the trust's hospitals over a nine-year period. A later inquiry led by Dr Bill Kirkup found that a "lethal mix" of failures at the trust led to their "unnecessary" deaths between 2004 and 2013. Last month it emerged that in 2012, Mr Wilson signed an exit deal for Ms Parkinson which allowed her to leave without an investigation into her performance. At the time Mr Wilson, who now works at Warrington and Halton Hospitals Foundation Trust, told the Health Service Journal: "I would like to record that I strongly refute any allegation of impropriety on my part while employed at UHMB or at any other role that I have held in either public or private sectors."

Gog the dog is a Leicester celebrity, famed for wearing clothes and being wheeled around by owner Monti Shortt. But last week someone walked off with the buggy when Ms Shortt briefly popped into the Haymarket Shopping Centre. Leicestershire Police have released an image of a woman with the buggy and appealed for information. Ms Shortt, 69, who has cancer, said she needs to get her pet back urgently because Gog needs surgery on her knees. Leicestershire Police said the dog was in a navy blue pushchair taken from outside Cafe Nero in Humberstone Gate at about 15:00 GMT. "Who is this woman? Do you know where the dog is now? Has anyone offered you a Yorkshire Terrier?" a spokesman asked. Speaking earlier this week, Ms Shortt said: "I haven't been without her since I've had her. We come into town regularly and she lights everybody's day up." Ms Shortt's coat, bag and inhalers were also in the stolen buggy but she is only concerned about getting Gog back.

A new system that automatically enrols workers into a pension scheme has been introduced gradually since 2012. More than five million people have been enrolled as a result, receiving pension contributions from their employer. But a report by the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) shows that almost as many are ineligible to join. A total of 4.8 million people are ineligible and not saving in a pension scheme. The majority of them - 3.5 million people - do not earn the £10,000 a year minimum required to be included in the scheme. Automatic enrolment started in October 2012. It is being introduced in stages. In June this year, firms employing fewer than 50 staff started the enrolment scheme. A slice of an employee's pay packet is automatically diverted to a savings pot for their pension, assuming they are aged 22 or over and earning at least £10,000 a year. Employers are obliged to pay in as well, with the government adding a little extra through tax relief. Many pensions analysts have said that these savings, together with the state pension, will still be insufficient for an adequate pension income. The government has encouraged people to go further themselves when saving for their retirement. The auto-enrolment system has widely been considered a success, owing to the large number of people being enrolled into a pension scheme compared with similar schemes around the world. The PPI report suggested that 32% of employed women were ineligible to be enrolled automatically compared with 16% of male workers. It also found employees from some ethnic minority groups were more likely to be below the earnings threshold required, most notably Bangladeshi workers. Other findings included: "The likelihood of meeting the automatic enrolment qualifying criteria is not evenly spread across the workforce," the PPI said. "This should be a matter of concern to policymakers. The policy community will need to closely watch whether certain groups are in danger of being excluded from automatic enrolment, and discussions should be held about whether there are potential policy levers which need to be put in place to ensure greater equality of coverage."

Foreign Minister Taieb Bakouch said the consulate had now been closed and urged all Tunisians to leave the country. He denied reports that the workers were freed in exchange for a Libyan militia commander. Walid Kalib, who leads a brigade in the "Libya Dawn" alliance which controls Tripoli, was recently arrested in Tunisia on terrorism charges. Libya Dawn official Jamal Zubia on Wednesday wrote on his Facebook page: "The page of the Tunisian consulate will be turned and they will return to their families and the revolutionary hero Walid Kalib returns to his family,'' reports AP news agency. Analysis: Rana Jawad, BBC News, Tunis Tunisian officials have occasionally advised their nationals to leave Libya in times of crisis there in recent years. More often than not, these calls are not heeded - this is partly why officials here decided to re-open their consulate in Tripoli in recent months. Tunisia has very high unemployment and the livelihoods of a large number of its nationals depend on Libya for both skilled and menial jobs, as well as trade. The recent kidnappings of Tunisia's consular staff served as a reminder of why most embassies pulled out of Tripoli last summer. Militia allegiances shift as frequently as the sand dunes in the Libyan desert. There is no central security structure that anyone can rely on - not even those who are in power. In urging Tunisians to leave Libya, Mr Bakouch said "we cannot again be subject to any blackmail," according to the Reuters news agency. However, he said that the decision to deport Mr Kalib had been taken by the courts, independently of his ministry. Why is Libya lawless? Holed up in Tobruk Libya descended into chaos after the uprising that led to the overthrow of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. There has been no central government since then, with different militia groups competing for power. Most countries closed their embassies during the fighting that ensued, but Tunisia recently sent consular staff back to Tripoli. The UN is trying to negotiate a political settlement to the crisis in Libya, after insecurity in the capital forced Libya's internationally recognised parliament and government to relocate to the eastern city of Tobruk. Libya Dawn last year seized control of Tripoli and surrounding areas.

In the last year, there were 1,267 incidents of verbal and physical abuse directed at health workers across Western Trust facilities. Medical director of the Western Trust Dr Alan McKinney is due to retire from medicine. He was the first ever A&E consultant at Londonderry's Altnagelvin hospital. In recent years, there have been well documented attacks on staff, particularly in accident and emergency departments. Dr McKinney, who became a consultant 1991, said these incidents must stop. "I think what makes me angry most is the people who come in and deliberately abuse our staff with no understanding of the importance of the job they are doing and not really caring about the impact that it has on either the staff or on other patients. "People who come in drunk, just deliberately to cause trouble, to fight, to argue with people." The Western Trust said that between April 2013 and March 2014 there was a total of 1,254 recorded incidents of verbal and/or physical towards trust staff across its facilities.

Research at Cardiff University found 72% of children have at least one portable media device in their sleep environment. Such devices are said to impact on the duration and quality of sleep, which can lead to health problems. Dr Ben Carter from the university's School of Medicine said sleep was important for development. He said their study was the first to consolidate results across existing research and provides "further proof of the detrimental effect" media devices can have on children's sleep. "Sleep is often an undervalued but important part of children's development," he said, "with a regular lack of sleep causing a variety of health problems". These include obesity, sedative behaviour, stunted growth, reduced immunity and mental health issues. Dr Carter warned the problem was only going to get worse with the ever growing popularity of media devices. He said an "integrated approach" was needed to improve sleep habits, involving parents, teachers and healthcare professionals.

But it seems Sinitta has a good idea why Zayn Malik had to pull out of the One Direction tour. In a statement the band said he'd been "signed off with stress", and Simon Cowell's wing lady thinks that's down to their punishing schedule. Sinitta reckons it's "burn out", and that the singer could probably do with a few decent nights of sleep. "I know their schedule has just been non-stop ever since they left the show (X Factor)." Unfortunately for Zayn, taking a few days off is often all that's needed to spark rumours that he's leaving the band. "Nothing like that's been announced," said Sinitta. "Let's just see what happens. "When we don't see them here, it's not that they're resting, it's that they're in another country. "They're literally promoting their records non-stop around the world, so they don't get a lot of downtime." The X Factor judge was also keen to dismiss claims Simon Cowell's record label Syco had been pushing the boy band too hard. "They are hungry, they are excited, they want to go and meet all the fans. "They're trying to meet all the fans' demands and not leave anybody out. "But it's hard to be there for everybody all the time, but we've only got One Direction."

Lester Bower Jr is the oldest man executed in Texas since the state resumed its use of capital punishment in 1982. Prosecutors said he shot dead four men in an aeroplane hangar in Sherman, a ranching town north of Dallas. Bower had maintained his innocence throughout his incarceration. His last words were: "Much has been said about this case. Much has been written about this case. Not all of it has been the truth. But the time for discerning truth is over and it's time to move on." Bower is the eighth man put to death by lethal injection in Texas this year. Bower was a chemical salesman with no criminal record at the time of the murders. Police said Bower went to Sherman to purchase a plane but instead stole the plane and killed the men in the hangar. Building contractor and B&B Ranch owner Bob Tate, Grayson County Sheriff's Deputy Philip Good, interior designer Jerry Brown and former Sherman police officer Ronald Mayes were found dead on 8 October 1983. Bower initially lied to investigators about being at the hangar and police found parts of a plane owned by Mr Brown at his home. "I do have remorse," Bower told the Associated Press news agency in last month. "I'm remorseful for putting my family and my wife and my friends through this."

The damages, agreed 13 days after the broadcast, total £185,000 plus costs. "The settlement is comprehensive and reflects the gravity of the allegations that were wrongly made," the corporation said in a statement. The Tory peer had said it was "terrifying" to find himself "a figure of public hatred". Lord McAlpine said: "I am delighted to have reached a quick and early settlement with the BBC. I have been conscious that any settlement will be paid by the licence fee-payers, and have taken that into account in reaching agreement with the BBC. "We will now be continuing to seek settlements from other organisations that have published defamatory remarks and individuals who have used Twitter to defame me." The terms of the agreement will be announced in court in a few days' time, according to RMPI LLP, solicitors for Lord McAlpine. Newsnight broadcast a report on child abuse in north Wales care homes earlier this month. Lord McAlpine's name was not broadcast, but he was wrongly identified on the internet. BBC home editor Mark Easton says the BBC will apologise to Lord McAlpine in court - but Lord McAlpine will also give a statement, in what our correspondent describes as an unusual step. Lord McAlpine will say in his statement that he still holds the BBC in very high esteem, our correspondent adds. The BBC has previously apologised for the broadcast, and investigations are being held into the programme, including by the BBC and media watchdog Ofcom. Lord McAlpine said "there is nothing as bad as this that you can do to people" as accusing them of being a paedophile. "They are quite rightly figures of public hatred - and suddenly to find yourself a figure of public hatred, unjustifiably, is terrifying," he added. Conservative MP Rob Wilson said the settlement will "incense" licence fee payers because "they are paying for a self-inflicted wound". He said: "This is a very expensive lesson for the BBC that it must maintain the highest standards of journalism and fairness at all times. "The settlement is also expensive and particularly hard on the licence fee payer... unfortunately, a protracted court case may well have cost a great deal more." Lord McAlpine's solicitor Andrew Reid had earlier said that Lord McAlpine was "more than aware that the ultimate people who will paying for any monies that he may receive are in fact the licence payers, the people who really own the BBC, and he is very much aware of this and hence any agreement that is reached is tempered in the light of that." The Newsnight report led to director general George Entwistle quitting at the weekend. Acting director general Tim Davie has said he hoped to personally apologise to Lord McAlpine. Mr Reid has also earlier urged those who had named Lord McAlpine on social media site Twitter to come forward. He said Sally Bercow, wife of Commons Speaker John Bercow, had not yet been in touch to apologise for her tweets. She tweeted on Thursday that she maintained her tweet was not libellous, "just foolish". Mr Reid confirmed several prominent people had already apologised. Ofcom is also investigating ITV's This Morning. It received complaints after presenter Philip Schofield handed the prime minister a list of alleged paedophiles during a live broadcast. ITV director of television Peter Fincham said Schofield will remain on air, and that he "realises his mistake and lapse in ITV journalism". Mr Fincham confirmed that he had received a letter from Lord McAlpine's legal team and would be responding to it "very quickly".

Police said half a dozen houses had been targeted in Fetcham and Bookham over the last two weeks. Det Insp Richard Haycock said it was believed the burglars used the nearby M25 as an escape route. "We've got excellent road and travel links in the south east which make it very easy for criminals," he said. "We are working with our colleagues across three or four counties to make sure we have a joined-up approach." Cash, jewellery and electrical items have been stolen in the break-ins over the last four months at homes in Kent, Surrey, Sussex and south London. Crowborough, Crawley, Haywards Heath, Horley, Redhill, Smallfield, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone are among the towns targeted, along with the Bexley, Orpington and Croydon areas of London. "We think these criminals are looking for houses that look unoccupied with lights out of an evening, bins left out, letters at the door," said Mr Haycock. "We do think they are connected. "We are using all of the data available to us to try and predict where these criminals are going to go next and try to get ahead of the game."

The country's Economic Survey, released on the eve of the national budget, said the measures had slowed growth. The dramatic move to scrap 500 ($7.60) and 1,000 rupee notes was intended to crack down on corruption and so-called black money or illegal cash holdings. But it also led to a cash shortage, hurting individuals and businesses. The report forecast that India's economy would grow 6.5% in the year to March 2017, down from 7.6% the previous financial year. But it also stressed that the estimate was based "mainly" on data from before the note withdrawal kicked in - causing some to suspect growth may be lower still. India's Finance minister Arun Jaitley who will deliver the Union budget in Delhi on Wednesday, said he expected the economy to "revert to normal" from March onwards after supplies of cash in the economy were replenished. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the so-called "demonetisation" policy on November 8 last year. Within hours the two notes were no longer accepted as legal tender - taking the equivalent of about 86% of India's cash supplies out of circulation and sparking scenes of chaos outside banks and cash machines. Low-income Indians, traders and ordinary savers who rely on the cash economy were badly hit, with hordes thronging banks to deposit expired money and withdraw lower denominations. "The adverse impact... on GDP will be transitional", the government's chief economic adviser, Arvind Subramanian, wrote in the report. "Growth slowed as demonetisation reduced demand ... and increased uncertainty," he added, saying negative impacts included including job losses and falling income for farmers. However the report said the scheme could be "beneficial in the long-run" if corruption fell and there were fewer cash transactions - many of which are done to dodge taxes. The government has previously said the move was a success with the banks flush with cash and significant increases in tax collection. "It's very nice to understand that the survey is acknowledging the negative impact," said Aneesh Srivatava, chief investment officer at IDBI Federal. "This is perhaps the first acknowledgement coming from the government. Otherwise so far there has been a denial." Deadlines for spending the notes or swapping them for new currency have already passed. Some people, including those of Indian origin living abroad, will be able to exchange the notes in branches of India's central bank until 31 March 2017 - but the process will be more complicated than going to a regular bank.

The main parties failed to break the political deadlock after December's inconclusive elections. The conservative Popular Party (PP) is favourite to win, but only narrowly. In December the PSOE was runner-up to the PP. There is speculation that the PSOE and Podemos could form a ruling coalition after the 26 June vote. The December election was a watershed for Spain, because the PP and the PSOE had previously alternated in power since the restoration of democracy in the 1970s. Podemos (meaning "We Can") is now campaigning as Unidos Podemos, allied with the United Left party under communist leader Alberto Garzon. Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias has offered to form a left-wing coalition government with the PSOE after the election. "We need to agree with them [the PSOE] so that we can have a progressive government," he said. Breaking new ground, Podemos has presented its manifesto as an Ikea-style catalogue, with party members posing in different parts of an ideal house. Podemos and the other leftists argue that the PP, under acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, is discredited because of austerity and the chronic unemployment that has plagued Spain since the 2008 financial crisis. The PP, however, points to Spain's improved economic performance as proof that its policies worked. Judging by the current polls, Spain's result could mirror what happened in Greece, where the new left-wing Syriza party wooed voters away from the traditional Pasok socialists. The fourth significant national party, according to the polls, is Ciudadanos (Citizens), a centre-right, pro-business party. Ciudadanos hopes to occupy "a centre space in Spanish politics, with 3.5 million votes, which did not exist before in this country", its leader Albert Rivera said. The party leaders will try to outdo each other in a high-profile TV debate on Monday, which could have an impact on millions of undecided voters. Spain's Efe news agency reports that in this campaign the parties will hold fewer mass rallies - which are expensive - and focus instead on door-to-door leafleting and maximising their TV exposure. They will also do less plastering of candidates' faces on public transport and in the streets, partly because of widespread voter discontent with politicians, Efe reports.

There are almost 200 air shows and displays taking place across the UK this year and they come only second to football in popularity as a paid spectator sport - last year five million of us paid to see an air show. As air crash investigators now set about reconstructing the sequence of events at Shoreham, the issue facing the air display circuit is how this crash will affect future shows. In the immediate aftermath, one show said it was halting its planned air display though in their announcement, the organisers of CarFest South in Hampshire said they "hope to hold future air events at future festivals". So far nobody else has followed their lead and many organisers have said their shows will go ahead - but all have been discussing their plans with the regulators, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This weekend is a key date in the air show calendar, with eight air shows or displays taking place over the next few days: 27-28 Aug: Clacton Airshow, Essex 27-29 Aug: Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Devon (a Strikemaster jet's routine has been amended) 29-30 Aug: Dunsfold Wings and Wheels, Surrey 29-30 Aug: Rhyl Air Show, Denbighshire, North Wales 29 Aug: Skyline Airshow, Durham Tees Valley Airport, Cleveland (postponed until May 2016) 30 Aug: Little Gransden Air & Car Show, Cambridgeshire (a Hawker Hunter has been replaced by a Yak-11) 30 Aug: Cold War Jets Open Day, Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds, Leicestershire 30-31 Aug: Wings and Wheels, Halfpenny Green, Wolverhampton (two places restricted to flypasts) 31 Aug: Props and Pistons, East Kirkby, Lincolnshire Source: Flightline UK One of the bigger events this weekend is Clacton's air show in Essex. Here the flying will take place over the sea. Nigel Brown of Tendring District Council says: "The CAA saw all risk assessments for upcoming shows during the week, and has signed off on our show. But we are not complacent - and we have since met with fire and safety officials to again go through our plans." The CAA has already tightened the rules for vintage jets like the 1960s-era Hawker Hunter jet which crashed at Shoreham during its flying routine. They will be restricted to simple flypasts rather than any more complex manoeuvres when flying over land. In the future, the main consequence of the Shoreham crash that could change the way air shows are run, is the cost of insuring the aircraft. Costs vary enormously. It all depends on the type of aircraft, the pilot's experience and the type of flying the craft is expected to do. Currently a relatively simple 1930s Tiger Moth biplane might cost £15,000 a year to insure, while a jet fighter might cost more than £100,000. Several aviation insurance insiders say these figures are definitely going to rise - the only debate is by how much. "Insurers are far less likely to want to take a risk when it comes to display aircraft," says Peter Matcham of Alan & Thomas - one of the few firms specialising in this type of aviation insurance. "The majority of insurers are going to want to pull away from that." Mike Wood, who is a former RAF fast jet pilot and instructor, and for the last 15 years has been an air show organiser, goes further. He says he expects insurance costs to double. "Currently it costs roughly £8-10,000 to insure an air display - and of course the aircraft operators have their own insurance as well. But if you are the organiser, I can see this being perhaps £16-20,000 in the future." Insurers could also seek to make insurance policies more restrictive for certain types of display aircraft like vintage jets, he says - limiting the types of flying routine a pilot can perform, though there could be problems in defining this in a policy. The likely impact is that the cost of having a jet at your air display could become prohibitive. "We will see fewer fast jets displaying, which is unfortunate," says Peter Matcham. Mike Wood, who is organising three shows in the coming days - including Rhyl in north Wales and the Scottish Airshow at Ayr - says he has had to shop around to get value for money: "Lower-cost planes could be the way ahead in future," he said. However, while the flying of fast jets may be affected, others point out that many smaller shows may not be affected because they don't usually include jets in their line-up. "Most aerobatics in lighter aircraft are within the airfield boundary, so if anything does go wrong, members of the public are not involved," says Guy Black of the Historic Aircraft Collection, which includes a World War Two Spitfire and Hurricane in its hangars, as well as 1930s Hawker biplanes. And even if the flight restrictions remain, most spectators want to get a decent photo of an aircraft - and for that a simple flypast is ideal. "You get a cacophony of clicks as people's cameras go off whenever an aircraft does a pass - that picture is what most people want to go home with," says Mr Black. So far there is no sign that fewer spectators will go to air shows. For instance, Clacton's organisers say they expect 200,000 over the weekend - the same figure as last year. Indeed, this summer has seen sell-out shows across the country - one reason being because it is the last time visitors will get the chance to see the massive delta-winged Vulcan bomber fly - which once carried Britain's nuclear deterrent. Vulcan XH558 took to the skies again in 2008 after an extensive restoration, but her flying days are now finally numbered. "Although we are all confident XH558 is currently as safe as any aircraft flying today, her structure and systems are already more than 10% beyond the flying hours of any other Vulcan," the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, which looks after the aircraft, said in a press release.. From next year when the Vulcan is no longer flying, it is possible that fewer casual visitors will be tempted by air shows - although there are plenty of other iconic aircraft for the enthusiasts to see. And when investigators complete their report on what exactly led to the Hawker Hunter crash at Shoreham the effect on the air show sector will become clearer: But higher insurance premiums are almost certain. Faced with higher costs, it is likely there will be fewer air displays where spectators can see fast jets fly. More events may come to rely on slower, and cheaper, aircraft to bring in the crowds. We could also see higher priced entry tickets. But while the nature of displays may change - with more conservative flight routines - there will still be plenty of air shows in coming years.

The Hope Beyond Hurt event features experts in conflict resolution from the US, England and Palestine.

"I think it's really important that as a society in Northern Ireland, we look beyond ourselves," she said. "We are very good at looking inwards and it's often good to hear another story from somewhere else in the world, to hear how people at the sharp end of conflict deal with victims and survivors in conflict and post-conflict societies, and how we can learn from that."

Molly Wigmore, 76, died in a fire at her home in Plymouth, Devon, on 19 October. The BBC understands a member of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service's control room has been suspended. Devon and Somerset Fire Service said it was a "challenging incident" and offered its condolences to the family. More on the fire investigation, plus more Devon and Cornwall news The first 999 call was made at 05:17 GMT, reporting a smoke alarm sounding and a smell of smoke from the property. This should have led to firefighters being sent to the scene, but none had arrived by the time a second call was made at 06:44. A fire engine arrived at 06:50. The house, in Sussex Road, is about a mile and a half from Camels Head Fire Station. A coroner's inquest, supported by police, is expected to examine whether the delay in tackling the fire played a role in her death. The fire service will also hold an internal investigation when the police inquiry has been completed. A statement from the fire service said: "The crews involved dealt with an extremely challenging incident. This tragic death is now subject of a police investigation in support of the coroner. "We would wish to offer the family of the deceased our deepest condolences." The MP for the area, Oliver Colville said: "I will be writing to the fire brigade to ask them to explain exactly what happened and what we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again." Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed an investigation is underway. Tributes left at the house credit Ms Wigmore as being an "inspirational, kind, gentle and sweet lady". She was a founding member of Plymouth Credit Union, according to former colleague Elizabeth Gray. Ms Gray said: "She was a very hard worker and did it as voluntary. It's a very sad loss."

In a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the SCMP Group said it has received a "preliminary approach" from a third party to purchase its media assets, including the newspaper. The BBC understands that Chinese e-ecommerce giant Alibaba is the bidder. But Alibaba has not confirmed that it is interested in buying the newspaper. Sources said that the Chinese tech giant, led by Jack Ma, was discussing buying the century-old newspaper to expand its business into the media sector. Last month Alibaba, the world's biggest e-commerce company, also offered to buy the Chinese video site Youku Tudou. A source familiar with the potential deal has told me that he is aware of concerns that the broadsheet, under the internet giant, would be used to please the Chinese government. He dismissed those fears, saying the newspaper would not be useful to the new owner if it lacked credibility. He said any future agreement would be 'just business'. But many people in Hong Kong, a politically polarised city, are deeply worried. They fear their flagship English-language newspaper will be sold to a mainland Chinese company that will have no choice but to accommodate Beijing if it wants to stay in business. Alibaba would be following in the footsteps of US-based rival Amazon's owner Jeff Bezos, who bought the Washington Post in 2013, although with his own money and not as part of the company. In its statement, SCMP Group said talks of a possible purchase were at a very early stage. "The terms of any potential transaction remain subject to discussion and to regulatory review" it said. "There is no assurance that any such transaction will materialise or, if it materialises, will be consummated." The SCMP is a highly regarded newspaper for the English-speaking population in the former British colony. The group also holds licences to several international publications such as Cosmopolitan and Harper's Bazaar magazines.

The rig ran aground off Lewis on Monday and has lost more than 12,000 gallons (56,000 litres) of diesel oil from fuel tanks. Eight experts scaled the rig with ropes on Sunday in order to begin a full assessment of damage. Earlier attempts to board the structure had been hampered by bad weather. So far, salvors have only been able to make a short assessment of its condition. On Sunday, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said rope technicians had created "a safe alternative access" to the rig. Work was also being done to provide a supply line so the team could get equipment and supplies on board. The salvors will examine how fuel might be transferred from the rig's diesel oil tanks to other unbreached tanks before any operation to refloat it begins. Survey work will also be carried out to identify the safest route to move the rig when the time comes. The MCA said a full assessment would help salvors draw up a more detailed salvage plan. A 300m (328 yards) exclusion zone remains in place around the rig covering both sea and air, which means no drones will be permitted in the area, although another aircraft has been brought in to help with the work. The Transocean Winner was being towed from Norway to Malta from where it was to be moved to a yard in Turkey to be broken up. A tow line between the rig and a tug broke during stormy weather and the structure ran aground at Dalmore at about 07:30 BST on 8 August.

The ban includes all religious symbols but explicitly mentions the hijab. The women marched for around an hour through the capital, Sarajevo. Hijab-wearing was banned by the communist authorities while Bosnia was still part of the former Yugoslavia until 1992, when it declared independence. The protest came in response to a decision by Bosnia's high judicial council, which supervises the functioning of the judiciary, to ban "religious signs" in judicial institutions. Some of the women held signs saying "The hijab is my right". Protest organiser Samira Zunic Velagic said the ban was a "serious attack against Muslim honour, personality and identity" and said it was aimed at depriving Muslim women of their right to work. The ban has also been condemned by Muslim political and religious leaders. Muslims make up about 40% of Bosnia's 3.8m population. The others are mostly Orthodox or Catholic Christians.

Now, the Forth Bridge is expected to be granted Unesco World Heritage Site status, putting it alongside the Pyramids of Egypt, the great Wall of China and the Sydney Opera House in terms of cultural significance. We've brought together some facts and figures - and some great pictures - of one of Britain's best-known structures. When it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the then Prince of Wales, the Forth Bridge was the longest cantilever bridge in the world and the first major crossing made entirely of steel. Though regarded as a Scottish icon, it was designed by two English engineers, Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker, and took eight years to build at a cost of £3.2m. Seventy one workers are known to have been killed during construction. Spanning 1.5 miles (2,529m), weighing 53,000 tonnes and containing 6.5m rivets, the bridge, now operated by Network Rail, still carries 200 trains per day between over the the Firth of Forth, linking Fife with the Lothians. As its fame grew beyond the world of engineering, the bridge entered the common lexicon when the job of painting it was used to represent a task that never ends. However, in 2011 it was revealed that the latest paint job, which took 10 years and cost £130m to complete, should last for at least 25 years. In 1964, the famous rail crossing was joined on the firth by the Forth Road Bridge. A third bridge, the Queensferry Crossing, is currently under construction at a cost of around £1.4bn and is due to open in late 2016. On nomination for World Heritage Status, Unesco was unstinting in its praise for the bridge, with its inspectors stating: "Innovative in design, materials, and scale, the Forth Bridge is an extraordinary and impressive milestone in bridge design and construction during the period when railways came to dominate long-distance land travel."

For 125 years it has been an icon of Victorian engineering @placeholder , a symbol of Scotland and even a favourite expression for a never - ending task .

Festival Park Liverpool will be created on the 90 acre site of the former International Festival Gardens, which was bought by the council in 2015. Mayor Joe Anderson said it could be a key to the city's "future prosperity". The plan includes up to 2,500 homes and a "public open space scheme" on the Southern Grasslands. An authority spokesman said the plan had received "positive feedback" during a public consultation in 2016. It would now be "taken forward as a strategic priority" and form a "development framework to inform any future planning applications", he said. He added the authority had taken its search for a backer to MIPIM, Europe's largest property expo, in Cannes. Mr Anderson said the plan "presents a unique development opportunity at what is a hugely important site to Liverpool and its residents". "We need a partner, or partners, to help realise the vision," he said. "The site is fully owned by the city council and we see [it] as a key component of Liverpool's future prosperity, addressing the need for more quality homes and complementing what the city is achieving at the Knowledge Quarter and Liverpool Waters." The site, which lies south of the city centre, comprises the development zone, the Southern Grasslands and the Festival Gardens, which underwent a £3.7m refurbishment in 2011.

Senator Ian Gorst had said at a public debate in September that he hoped five or six families would be accommodated. Mr Gorst told the States of Jersey that he had been advised that those plans could lead to further UK-based refugees coming to Jersey under the European Convention on Human Rights. Jersey has instead committed to providing more overseas aid. The States heard that because Jersey did not have its own asylum process, Syrian refugees would need to come to the island through the UK's Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme. However, Mr Gorst said that in signing up to the scheme, Jersey would have to offer the same provisions of housing and benefits to all refugees in the UK, or face challenges of discrimination under the European Convention on Human Rights. He said: Our island would simply not have the capacity to manage the impact on housing stock, on public services, or on the work market." Head of Jersey Calais Refugee Aid Group, Bram Wanrooij, said it was "a shame" that Jersey would not be taking in any families. He said: "I think maybe it's an incentive for Jersey to start looking at its refugee policy for the future, because the refugee crisis is here to stay." Jersey's Overseas Aid Commission has donated £1m since 2013 to charities working near the Syrian borders, including British Red Cross, UNICEF and Oxfam. The amount of funding for 2016 has not yet been confirmed.

Phenytoin sodium capsules, used by 50,000 people in Britain, are made by Pfizer and sold by Flynn. Pfizer said it was co-operating with the Competition and Markets Authority. When Pfizer made the drug under its Epanutin brand name, the NHS spent about £2.3m on the drug, the CMA said. This amount soared to £50m in 2013. The CMA said Pfizer sold UK distribution rights to Flynn in 2012, but continued to make and supply the drug to the company. Analysis: Hugh Pym, health editor This is a provisional report, with allegations made by the Competition and Markets Authority. The companies now have a chance to give formal responses and a final ruling may not be made until next year. But it comes at a time of intense debate about NHS finances, as patient demand and the cost of treatment rise faster than budget increases. NHS England is grappling with the need for ambitious efficiency savings. It has been under fire for reducing the number of treatments available to patients through the Cancer Drugs Fund. So today's provisional findings, with renewed scrutiny of drug spending, are the last thing the pharmaceutical industry needs. It was after this deal that prices rose, said the watchdog in a provisional finding. "The CMA's findings on dominance and abuse are provisional and no conclusion can be drawn at this stage that there has, in fact, been any breach of competition law. We will carefully consider any representations from Pfizer and Flynn Pharma before deciding whether the law has been infringed.," said Ann Pope, CMA senior director of anti-trust enforcement. Companies can be fined as much as 10% of annual sales for abusing a dominant position in a market, depending on the seriousness of the abuse. Pfizer and Flynn can now supply their own views and evidence before the watchdog makes a decision, it said. "Ensuring a sustainable supply of our products to UK patients is of paramount importance to Pfizer and was at the heart of our decision to divest the product," said Pfizer in a statement. "Pfizer is co-operating fully with the CMA's ongoing investigation." A message left with Flynn Pharma was not immediately returned.

Rebecca Williams, known as Bex, was rescued from the New Year's Day fire in which her boyfriend Cameron Logan died. His parents were treated for smoke inhalation after the fire at their home in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire. Police said they still wanted to trace dog walkers and were seeking information about a dark-coloured car. They want to speak to a man seen in the Craigton Wood area around the time of the fire walking a brown "pitbull" type dog, as well as another man walking along Craigton Road onto the West Highland Way with two Springer Spaniels. Detectives have said these people could be potential witnesses. The dark-coloured car was spotted in a layby on nearby Craigton Road near Clober Golf Club that had a door open and engine running around the time of the fire. Ms Williams, a 24-year-old journalist at Global Radio, is being treated in hospital in Glasgow. On Friday, her father Phillip Williams posted on Facebook that his daughter was "fighting hard". Her condition later went from critical to "serious but stable" and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed on Sunday that Ms Williams was continuing to improve.

Jennifer Slack, 63, and her husband Graham, 62, were found with their wrists tied together on mud banks at Breydon Water, Norfolk last September. An inquest in Norwich heard Mrs Slack had been suffering from depression following the death of her father. Mrs Slack's GP practice was urged by the coroner to ensure urgent letter referrals were sent the same day. The inquest was told Mrs Slack had been treated for depression and anxiety since the mid-1990s but became worse after her father died in spring. After telling a nurse at Park Surgery in Great Yarmouth that she had questioned the point of life, Mrs Slack's GP wrote a letter on 27 September requesting an urgent psychiatric referral. However the inquest was told the letter was not sent until the following day and was not received by mental health services until after her death. Mr and Mrs Slack's bodies were recovered from Breydon Water on 29 September. A note found by police in the couple's abandoned car said the pair were taking their own lives adding "My wife has anxiety and we feel there is no help". The Norfolk coroner, Jacqueline Lake, who recorded a verdict of suicide, said she was satisfied the GP practice had since made the necessary improvements with regard to processing urgent referrals.

Joe Kaeser told the Financial Times: "Investment is about believing, about the future, and [when] events like that happen, people will wait." Siemens is Europe's biggest industrial conglomerate with 350,000 employees. Mr Kaeser's comments were echoed by Italy's finance minister. Pier Carlo Padoan said the 13 November attacks in which 130 people were killed threatened the eurozone's fragile economic recovery. "The biggest economic damage from these attacks is on confidence and confidence is a crucial element in this phase," Mr Padoan told the newspaper. "It is indispensable to help countries exit the crisis. Any elements that undermine confidence are very dangerous." Although eurozone economic sentiment rose slightly to 105.9 in October compared with the previous month, the impact of the terrorist attacks in Paris and the heightened security in Brussels this weekend could cut the November figure when it is released by the European Commission next week. Economic growth in the eurozone slowed to 0.3% for the three months to September, official figures released earlier this month showed. That was lower than expected, and worse than the 0.4% expansion recorded for the previous quarter. Siemens said earlier this month that it expected moderate revenue growth despite "continuing complexity in the geopolitical environment" in the 2016 financial year. Net profit for the German company, which focuses on electrical engineering and electronics, fell by almost €500m to €1bn for the 2015 financial year. Eurozone finance ministers will go ahead with an extraordinary meeting in Brussels on Monday afternoon despite an ongoing high security alert in the Belgian capital. The ministers will review national budgets, the impact of the refugee crisis on public finances and a bailout payment to Greece.

Richard Glossip looked certain to die by injection in Oklahoma on Wednesday afternoon after the US Supreme Court rejected his appeal. But Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has asked for more time to check if the drugs are compliant with state rules. Pope Francis had urged her to halt the execution. His archbishop had written to her and urged her to act to commute the sentence, but she said she did not have the authority to do so. An hour after Glossip was due to be put to death, Ms Fallin announced that she was rescheduling the execution for 6 November. She said prison officials had received potassium acetate for use in the execution, as one of the three drugs used, but state guidelines only list potassium chloride. Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton said he requested the stay of execution "out of due diligence". Glossip's boss Barry Van Treese, the owner of the Oklahoma City motel, was beaten to death in 1997. His colleague Justin Sneed was convicted of the killing but said Glossip had ordered him to carry it out. Glossip and his family have maintained his innocence for nearly 20 years, saying that Sneed acted alone. He was first convicted in 1998 but that was overturned in 2001, only for Glossip to be convicted again three years later. In the most recent appeals, his lawyers said they had an affidavit from another inmate who said Sneed admitted to setting Glossip up. British billionaire Richard Branson took out a full-page ad in The Oklahoman newspaper on Wednesday that argued Glossip is innocent. Executions have been delayed recently in the US amid problems buying drugs as many firms have refused to sell them. Oklahoma's drugs procedures have been under scrutiny since a flawed execution in April 2014. Clayton Lockett struggled for 43 minutes before eventually dying, after an intravenous line was improperly placed. The Pope had also intervened in the case of a woman in Georgia, but Kelly Gissendaner was put to death on Tuesday. During the pontiff's visit last week to the US, he urged Congress to abolish the death penalty.

Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, were killed in the Real IRA attack in 1998. On Tuesday, the prosecution of 45-year-old County Armagh man Seamus Daly for the bombing collapsed. Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris said there were currently no new lines of inquiry in the investigation. "Police profoundly regret that we have, to date, been unable to secure a conviction for the Omagh bombing and that individuals and families in Omagh and beyond who deserve justice have yet to secure it," he said. "As we have said before, what is needed is for those people who know who did this to come forward and tell us what they know. "Police need people to make statements and give evidence. Without this assistance, any prosecution is highly unlikely but police will not give up." The Public Prosecution Service decided there was no reasonable prospect of conviction in the Daly case. He was released from Maghaberry Prison on Wednesday. The prosecution case was withdrawn after a key witness gave inconsistent evidence and contradicted his previous testimony. The Omagh bomb was the biggest single atrocity in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It happened just four months after the Good Friday Agreement was signed.

Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve was created by North Somerset Council as a buffer between new homes and the port. A residents' levy to fund the site, managed by Port Marine Management Ltd (PMML), was scrapped in 2015 after complaints about cost. The council will now need to agree the deal with the founding PMML directors. Permission for 2,600 nearby houses was granted to developer Persimmon Homes as long as the reserve was created. PMML was formed to collect the levy and operate the site - but the levy rose from an initial £12 to £70, prompting calls for more transparency. Until the end of 2015, PMML commissioned Avon Wildlife Trust to manage the land for £75,000 a year with staffing. After this agreement ended, the council stepped in while it could find a long-term solution. The council's policy committee report concluded PMML's structure was a "mess" and "not fit for purpose" and the best option for the reserve was to allow the council to manage it. If PMML's current directors - North Somerset Council leader Nigel Ashton, Chris Giles and Arthur Terry - agree, £400,000 collected from the levy will now need to be transferred to the council. This fund will pay for the upkeep of the reserve for the next 10 years. This story was updated on 5 May, 2016. The original version wrongly reported PMML's original directors, David John Smellie and Richard Graham Winborn, would have to agree to the £400,000 to be transferred to the council.

The Los Angeles appeal court ruled there was substantial evidence of guilt laid out at his trial in 2011. Murray was sentenced to four years in jail, but was released last October after serving two years of his term. The ex-medic was convicted of administering a lethal dose of an anaesthetic drug to Jackson in 2009. In a ruling amounting to 68 pages, the court said the pop star "was a vulnerable victim and that [Murray] was in a position of trust, and violated the trust relationship by breaching standards of professional conduct in numerous respects". The court also said that imposing the maximum sentence of four years at the original trial was right, as the evidence revealed a "callous disregard" for the singer's health and safety. They added that it was clear that Murray "administered a number of dangerous drugs to Mr. Jackson without the appropriate medical equipment, precautions or personnel in place". Their ruling also concluded that Murray had been wrong to leave Jackson unattended at the time. Murray's appeal argued that the trial judge had excluded jurors from hearing evidence. It was also argued that the judge quashed attempts by Murray's lawyers to introduce arguments about other doctors who had treated Jackson. His legal representative Valerie Wass said that Murray's intention is to take the matter to a higher court. In a separate development, the insurers of Jackson's This Is It tour have settled with the late singer's estate over a policy amounting to $17.5m (£10.1m). The wrangle over the matter was due to go to trial next month. The policy was taken out to insure against postponement or cancellation of the series of London concerts. Jackson died of a drugs overdose while preparing for the shows. Lloyd's of London had asked for the policy to be declared null and void, saying they were not told that the star was taking powerful medication. Details of the settlement have not been disclosed. A series of legal cases have taken place since Jackson's death more than four years ago. Earlier this week, his family's bid to launch a second wrongful death trial against concert promoters AEG Live was turned down. The company were responsible for hiring Murray as Jackson's personal physician. In the first trial in October, the jury concluded that the former doctor had been fit for the job when he was originally employed.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has just 20 women firefighters out of 838, and Rhondda has one of the lowest number of retained female firefighters. It said that was because some believed it was not a traditional female job. It wants to change attitudes and promote it as a valid career for women. Station commander John Jenkins, who runs three retained fire stations in Rhondda, said some people in the area had traditional views on what jobs men and women should do, which could be preventing some from signing up. Mr Jenkins said the fire service wanted to change that view and demonstrate that the role of a retained firefighter is flexible and gives women the opportunity to develop new skills. He said women were an "untapped resource" and, in his view, there were no barriers to the job. He said while all recruits must be physically fit, it was a team job that played to people's strengths.

The Mass Automated Cycle Hire (Mach) scheme is also running at six temporary sites at Commonwealth Games venues. Bike hire is on a membership or casual basis. Casual hire costs £1 per half hour capped at £10 for up to 24 hours. Each bike has a four-digit code chain lock, a saddle with a theft protection device and GPS fitted to assist in locating any stolen cycles. Annual membership costs £60 with hire free for the first 30 minutes and £1 an hour capped at £5 for up to 24 hours. Customers are able to register online as a member or as a casual, or by telephone. Temporary Games locations: Once registered, they are provided with a login username, membership and personal identification number. Annual subscribers are provided with a radio frequency identification card which can be swiped over the cycle's on-board computer sensor to speed up the hire process. The scheme, which was launched by Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson and, allows as many as four bikes to be hired on one card. Councillor Matheson said: "We have studied similar schemes across the world to ensure we give the people of Glasgow, and visitors, a cycle hire scheme that meets their needs and compliments their lifestyles. "Hiring of the cycles will be quick, easy and user-friendly. The operation of the scheme will be made efficient through the use of tried and trusted technology, such as mobile phones. "The scheme will play a key role in driving forward Sustainable Glasgow as it will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions, leading to an improvement in air quality and will give people ready access to a healthy method of travel." Mr Matheson said the council's long-term aim was to "see cycling as the biggest participation activity in the city by 2020". He added: "This is the latest step, in addition to the millions of pounds we're investing on cycle routes across the city, to making Glasgow one of the UK's most cycling friendly cities." The scheme allows local businesses to sign up for a corporate membership to allow staff or customers access to the bikes for free. The service is aimed at organisations looking to improve their green credentials, promote active transport and reduce use of cars for short, frequent journeys. The Mach scheme is being run by NextBike, which operates 15,000 bikes in 80 city locations worldwide.

The Ospreys need a bonus-point win and for other results to go their way to clinch a place in next season's European Champions Cup. A bonus-point win for Ulster will see Kiss' side into the Pro12 play-offs. "I think the Ospreys will chance their hand and we need to be ready for that," said the Ulster boss. The Welsh side have never previously failed to qualify for the top tier of European competition. However, while Kiss is expecting the Ospreys to come out firing at the Liberty Stadium, he remains confident that Ulster are capable of securing the bonus-point victory that will secure their semi-finals berth. "If we're smart, organised, have discipline in our game, we can deliver something that is important for us, whether it's a four-point win or a bonus-point win." An Ulster win, without a bonus point, would mean the Scarlets could pip the Irish province for a semi-finals spot if they manage to come away from their game against Munster at Thomond Park with a maximum five-point haul. "We may have to rely on Munster yet," accepts Kiss. Asked about the possibility of defeat and the prospect of missing out on a semi-finals spot, Kiss said such an outcome would be "gut-wrenching". However after seeing off Leinster last weekend, Ulster should not lack confidence going into Saturday's game. "The result was important last weekend but the way we went about our business and the excellence of our work was there for all to see," added Kiss. "We kept putting pressure on them and they couldn't recover. We were quick of mind and quick of tactics and we delivered. "But the deal is not done yet. I think we've got a team that is hungry enough to do it this weekend. I just hope we've got the nous and the performance to get over the line."

Sebastian Mandzik, Robert Majewski, Pawel Majewski and Seweryn Szmyt were all involved in transporting the vulnerable victims to Tyneside. They were forced into menial labour and their bank accounts were controlled by the gang. Any resistance was met with violence, Newcastle Crown Court heard. Following a trial, the four were convicted for transporting people for exploitation, conspiring to force people into labour and conspiring to conceal criminal property. Mandzik, 40, of Jarrow, was sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison. Robert Majewski, 46, of London, was jailed for eight years, while Pawel Majewski, 28, of Jarrow, was given a seven-year sentence. Szmyt, 20, also of Jarrow, was sentenced to five years. The court heard the victims were promised well-paid jobs but kept in cramped conditions and given employment paying only the minimum wage. "The treatment of the victims in this case and the conditions in which they were made to live were truly appalling," prosecutor Jim Hope said. Police said the trafficked people are now in safe locations.

The head of its South Korean division was attacked by angry relatives as he apologised at a Seoul hotel. Reckitt Benckiser is among several firms whose products are blamed for the deaths. It has offered compensation to the families of those who died, as well as the hundreds more who were injured. Reckitt Benckiser withdrew its product from the market after South Korean authorities suggested a link between chemicals to sterilise humidifiers and lung conditions in 2011. "This is the first time we are accepting the fullest responsibility, and we are offering a complete and full apology. We were late, five years have passed," Ataur Safdar said. He added that the company was setting up a multi-million dollar humanitarian fund for the victims and their families. Many are said to be children or pregnant women. His apology was rejected by relatives at the news conference, at least one of whom hit him shortly after he took to the stage, and he was jostled and heckled. About 500 people are reported to have died or been injured after inhaling poisonous chemicals used in humidifier disinfectants manufactured and sold by several companies in South Korea from 2001 to 2011. Sources: RB website, financial statements Reckitt Benckiser has been criticised for previously refusing to take responsibility. Patty O'Hayer, a spokesperson for Reckitt Benckiser, told the BBC that the South Korean government had so far linked 177 cases to its product. But the process of identifying possible victims was not yet complete. She said the firm would compensate those who were "likely or very likely" to have been made ill by its humidifier steriliser. The company, which also makes painkiller Nurofen, was fined last week in Australia for misleading customers. A court ruled that products marketed as targeting specific pains, such as migraine, were actually identical.

Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir was detained at Beirut airport early on Saturday. He had been on the run since clashes with the Lebanese army in 2013, which left at least 17 soldiers dead. The cleric organised followers to fight alongside rebels in Syria in response to Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia group which backs President Bashar al-Assad. Sheikh Assir is wanted over an incident in June 2013 in which one of his men was caught with unauthorised weapons in his car at a military checkpoint in Sidon, 40km (28 miles) south of the capital, Beirut. Witnesses at the time said machine guns and rockets were used - and when the army went to Mr Assir's compound, it found heavy weapons and military-style uniforms. Lebanese officials said he was arrested trying to fly to Egypt using a false passport, having "changed his appearance". Unconfirmed reports said he had shaved off his beard and undergone facial surgery. BBC regional analyst Sebastian Usher says the media-savvy sheikh has been one of the fieriest voices in Lebanon, stoking up sectarian tensions as the Syrian war has raged next door. Sheikh Assir built his reputation on television talkshows as a self-proclaimed defender of Sunni rights against the Shia movement, Hezbollah, and its backing of Syria's President Assad, our analyst says. Despite being on the run for two years, he has continued to issue video and audio messages.

Rene Tkacik, a 44-year-old Slovakian national, was crushed to death by poured concrete in Holborn, central London, on 7 March 2014. The jury ruled his death had accidental contributory factors including him not being able to understand all briefings. The exclusion zone definition was also unclear as it sometimes changed. St Pancras Coroner's Court heard Mr Tkacik was found within an exclusion zone where wet concrete was being poured, which had not been clearly marked at the time of his death. The jury had learned that Mr Tkacik, of Hackney Road, east London, was a "hugely experienced" worker. He had been working in the UK to earn money to send home to his family in Slovakia so he could pay for his daughter Esther to go to university. The jury was shown a digital reconstruction of the 80ft (24m) deep tunnel in Fisher Street, Holborn, where Mr Tkacik died. The tunnel was so deep it took an emergency team six minutes to reach him from ground level, the court heard. His wife Renata Tkacikova, said: "Rene was a loving husband and father - we miss him very much. "I have struggled without him. I do not feel that I have come to terms with my loss and I do not understand how this incident could have happened. "Rene had gone over to London to work and we had never contemplated that we would not see him again." In a statement, Crossrail said: "Safety has always been, and continues to be, the number one value for Crossrail and is critical to the delivery of the project. "Crossrail has a good safety record and sets the most stringent contractor safety requirements in the industry. There is nothing so important on Crossrail that it cannot be done safely."

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) says its focus will switch to the sevens game after the tournament, which starts in Ireland next month. England's retired World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi said the news was "very disappointing". It is understood several current squad members will move to a sevens contract. New XVs contracts will then be awarded in preparation for the 2021 Women's Rugby World Cup. England, who won the World Cup for the first time in 20 years in 2014, begin their defence against Spain in Dublin on 9 August. News on their contracts emerged at a time when there is increased focus on women's sport, with England lifting the Women's Cricket World Cup at Lord's and the football side winning their first two matches at Euro 2017. England named a 28-player squad in June for next month's tournament. Reports suggest there are a total of about 50 England players who are on a mixture of full-time and part-time professional contracts, with only 17 full-time professional fixed-term deals set to be handed out in September, purely for the sevens programme. The move was criticised by two female Labour MPs. Barbara Keeley, MP for Worsley and Eccles South, called it "a shameful decision" and Gower MP Tonia Antoniazzi said on Twitter: "Another huge blow for women with contracts being slashed by England RFU." The RFU, which announced record revenues last year of more than £400m, says its priorities shift between the XVs and sevens programmes, with the Rugby World Cup Sevens and Commonwealth Games taking place next year. It says the XVs side will continue to take part in competitions, and stresses it has invested millions of pounds in the women's game, including £800,000 annually on a new domestic club competition aimed at increasing and improving the talent pool available for selection for England. "The women's squad were always aware that contracts would end in September, after the World Cup," said RFU director of professional rugby Nigel Melville. "The current XVs squad was informed in April that the next contracts will be focused on sevens, reflecting the cyclical nature of the women's game. The squad fully understands the position and are focused on the World Cup in Ireland next month."

The sixth form at Halewood Academy in Knowsley will shut in August 2017 after the Department for Education agreed it could stop providing A-levels. Principal Gary Evans said it was "sad" but left the academy in a stronger financial position. Education chiefs pledged to get an another A level plan in place by 2017. Mr Evans said: "We shall continue to work extensively with other post-16 providers to ensure that all of our students remain in education or training once they leave the academy. "Discussions are also taking place for a future potential post-16 joint venture across Knowsley," he said. Knowsley has the lowest proportion of students taking A-levels in England at 2% and has among the lowest university entry rates in England. A letter to the school from parliamentary undersecretary of state for schools, Lord Nash, outlined the plan. He said after considering the quality of provision, the impact on existing students and the availability of post-16 education in the area "I have agreed their request to close the sixth form". Knowsley councillor Gary See said the local authority was "naturally disappointed with this outcome" but pleased there was "some clarity for the Academy and its students". He said due to the school's academy status, the council had "no powers to intervene" but had committed to working with the government to establish "new sixth form provision from September 2017". Parents at the school had protested against the closure, arguing it "is letting down the children of this community" and could block their ambitions. Students who are part-way through their studies will be able to continue at the sixth form.

Plans for Felixstowe Pier, which was built in the early 1900s, also include an observation tower, retail units and a restaurant. Designer Haydn Evans said the new-look pier could be open by Easter 2014 if Suffolk Coastal District Council approves the plans. "It's going to be much more than just a family amusement centre," he said. The pier, owned by Pier Amusements, currently houses an amusement centre. Mr Evans, who is leading the project for Haydn Evans Consulting in Ipswich, said the design incorporated an outdoor promenade, but he would not say how much the project would cost. The existing boardwalk has been closed to the public for several years. "It was partially blown up during the Second World War to stop the Germans using it and then further reduced in the 50s," said Mr Evans. "Unfortunately the concrete piles are fatally corroded and the timber beams supporting the existing deck are also rotten. "The new pier is being built out further to sea, it will be possible for people to walk out over the sea and look back towards Felixstowe." Conservative councillor Geoff Holdcroft, cabinet member for leisure, said it was a "bold and imaginative proposal". "If it could be turned into reality [it] could be a really exciting new attraction for Felixstowe," he said. He said the official consultation period had begun and the council would seek the views of the public and "relevant official bodies". The plans also propose that the area in front of the pier is "remodelled".

The Cambridge University Library has housed the Codex Zacynthius since 1984. It was offered first refusal to buy the New Testament manuscript and had until the end of August to find the funds. The fate of the historical text had been in doubt after the Bible Society in Swindon, which owned it for almost 200 years, decided to sell it off to raise money. The society, which was presented with the 176-page volume in 1821, wanted to shore up funds for a new £1m visitor centre inside a deconsecrated church in North Wales. Dr Rowan Williams, the former archbishop of Canterbury who supported the Cambridge University Library's fundraising campaign, said securing the text would allow further study. The bible features an early seventh century script which has been partially scraped away and written over to make way for a 13th century entry. It is regarded as an important text in studying the development of the New Testament. "The discovery and identification of the under-text represents a fascinating detective story," Dr Williams said. "By securing the manuscript, we hope that multispectral imaging techniques will enable scholars to recover fully the hidden text."

The salt prints are on show at the Brighton Photo Fringe alongside large graphic images that are used as tiles on the walls. This is accompanied by audio interviews with the Irish Travellers, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the experience. "'Will you tell my story?' they say to me, and I've tried in my own way," says Buckley. Buckley says the Irish Travellers are isolated from society, both physically and culturally, and have in them a feeling of being forgotten. "The elders remember freedom as children of travelling workers," she writes. "Their grandchildren live behind tall concrete walls, screened from the world, on ill designed sites." Buckley's aim is to challenge pre-conceived ideas of the Irish Travellers and to give them a voice through her work. Buckley's move to using traditional wet processes stems from a desire to rediscover the tactile joys of photography, something many will not have experienced. "I, like everyone else who remembers the days when nothing was virtual, crave to work with my hands not my keyboard and mouse," she says. Each salt print is one of a kind, and they were made by printers Paul Daskarolis and Stuart Kuhn.

The Liberals says its proposed overhaul of national security laws will shed light and oversight on the activities of the country's spy agencies. It says the changes will balance both rights and security. Critics say that does not go far enough in keeping people safe or protecting the privacy of Canadians. The national security overhaul dates back to a 2015 general election promise by the Liberals. The party committed to repealing what they called "problematic elements" of controversial sweeping anti-terrorism legislation passed by the former Conservative government. The Conservative bill, which increased government policing, information-sharing and surveillance powers, was passed a few months after a gunman killed a Canadian soldier and stormed Parliament Hill in Ottawa before being shot and killed himself. Many people expressed concern that those new measures could violate Canada's rights charter. Mr Goodale called the new national security review body a "major innovation in our security architecture". The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency will keep an eye on security and intelligence activities in Canada. The arms-length oversight body will review every department and agency within government that has a national security function. The Liberal Bill C-59 will also create another new watchdog role. An intelligence commissioner will be tasked with authorising certain intelligence and cyber-security activities of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) to ensure they are in line with Canadian laws. OpenMedia, an internet advocacy group, says that while some of the proposed measures in C-59 are a step forward, the bill does not far enough in protecting the privacy of Canadians from information sharing and gathering by security and police agencies. Conservative public safety critic Tony Clement said on Twitter the proposed bill "weakens ability of our security agencies to respond to terror threats". C-59 also includes tweaks to Canada's no-fly list. Over 60 Canadian families say their children's names have been wrongly matched to the list, which means the families are often held up at airports for security reviews. The issue came to light last year and parents have been pressuring to government for a better redress system. The planned changes allow the government to inform parents if their child is not on the list and to make it easier for parents to seek recourse. The legislation was introduced on Tuesday but will probably only be dealt with in depth by parliamentarians after the legislative summer break.

Extravagant eating and drinking, and abuse of power, are also formally banned, said Xinhua news agency. The party has in the past warned its officials to refrain from extravagant dinners and purchasing moon cakes using public funds. China has been conducting a strict anti-corruption drive since 2012. The new rule on golf states that members are banned from "obtaining, holding or using membership cards for gyms, clubs, golf clubs, or various other types of consumer cards, or entering private clubs". If caught, members could either receive a warning or be removed from the party, depending on the severity of the violation. The new regulations (in Chinese) did not explain why the joining of golf clubs is banned, but such clubs are often seen by the Chinese public as places where officials have cut shady deals. In September, local media reported that at least 60 employees in state-owned companies were punished for spending public funds on playing golf. Earlier this month, Lin Chunsong, a vice-mayor in the south-eastern Fujian province, was sacked for belonging to a golf club and playing golf while he should have been at work. China and golf One owner of a golf equipment store in Shanghai, who was only identified by his surname, Huang, told Reuters that his store's sales had dropped at least 30% last year. Golf in China was "about the social interaction", he said. "If a company boss can't play with a government official, there's little point in him spending his money." Another new rule states that party members cannot "violate official provisions on hospitality management and engage in over-the-top entertaining, or take advantage of opportunities for extravagant eating and drinking". The Communist Party has also rephrased a previous clause banning adultery and mistresses, which now says that members are banned from "having improper sexual relations with other people which have bad repercussions". The party's strict rules for officials have in the past affected business for restaurants and luxury goods retailers in China and elsewhere. President Xi Jinping has led a major anti-corruption campaign since taking office three years ago. He has previously warned of unrest if corruption and perceived privilege within the Communist Party are not tackled.

The police have not yet become involved in the botched scheme, which could cost taxpayers up to £490m. Simon Hamilton says his plan is to cut the cost of it to "essentially zero". Members of the Economy Committee heard that while there were concerns about abuse, no case of deliberate intent to deceive had yet been identified. A Stormont election looms over the scandal after Martin McGuinness stepped down as deputy first minister. On fraud, Mr Hamilton said his department was working through a PWC report which had identified potential cases of deliberate abuse of the scheme. He said if fraud was identified it would be treated very seriously and the police would be called in. The report has identified 14 potential installations where fraud is suspected. Mr McCormick said they did not yet have a case which showed "prima facie evidence of intent to deceive which is the threshold for fraud". He said the investigations were ongoing. The regulations move to the assembly this afternoon when MLAs will vote on their introduction. Mr Hamilton claimed if the regulations were enacted it would cut the Stormont overspend on the scheme for 2016/17 from £30m to £2m. The economy minister also said the department intended to tender for a company to carry out audits on all 2,128 installations. Last week, the existing auditor OFGEM said of the 63 boilers it had examined, payments had been suspended to more than half. Some boiler owners have indicated that they will go to court if attempts are made to change their contracts. Under the proposed regulations, they would get a reduced subsidy after a certain amount of heat had been produced, with a cap after which no payments would be made. That is compared to a generous uncapped payment under the current rules. The regulations would only run for a year giving time for consultation about a permanent change. Mr Hamilton said some firms in receipt of the subsidy were getting returns of up to 50%, when the intention of the scheme had been that it would be around 12%. His departmental permanent secretary Andrew McCormick, who was also at the committee, said that was the case in "quite a large proportion" of cases.

Its ruling royals, led by the head of state Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, possess a huge private fortune and its largely ethnic-Malay population enjoy generous state handouts and pay no taxes. A British protectorate since 1888, Brunei was the only Malay state in 1963 which chose to remain so rather than join the federation that became Malaysia. Full independence came relatively late in 1984. Despite a significant non-Muslim minority presence in the country and strong condemnation from international rights group, in 2014 Brunei became the first East Asian country to adopt strict Islamic sharia law which allows punishment such as stoning for adultery and amputation for theft. Population 413,000 Area 5,765 sq km (2,226 sq miles) Major languages Malay, English, Chinese Ethnicity 65% ethnic Malay, 10% Chinese Religious make-up 78% Muslim, 8% Christian, 7% Buddhist Life expectancy 76 years (men), 81 years (women) The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, is one of the world's longest-reigning and few remaining absolute monarchs. He was crowned in August 1968 following the abdication of his father, Sir Haji Omar Ali Saifuddin. Upon Brunei's independence in 1984, he appointed himself prime minister and in 1991, introduced an ideology called Malay Muslim Monarchy, which presented the monarch as the defender of the faith. He is one of the world's richest individuals and in a country where the standard of living is high, appears to enjoy genuine popularity amongst his subjects. More recently however, he has faced criticism over the introduction of Islamic Sharia law in the country. Brunei's media are neither diverse nor free. The private press is either owned or controlled by the royal family. Media are subject to self-censorship on political and religious matters and a press law provides prison terms of up to three years for reporting "false news". Access to the internet is said to be unrestricted. Some key dates in Brunei's history: 15th century - Islamic sultanate of Brunei nominally in control of Borneo, including Sabah and Sarawak state of Malaysia, and some parts of the Sulu islands in the Philippines. 1888 - Brunei becomes a British protectorate. 1963 - Brunei chooses to remain a British dependency rather than join the Federation of Malaysia. 1967 - Hassanal Bolkiah becomes sultan following the abdication of his father, Sultan Omar. 1984 - Brunei becomes independent. 2014 - Brunei becomes the first East Asian country to adopt Islamic sharia law despite widespread international condemnation.

The country's consumer watchdog has taken Apple to court for false advertising because the tablet computer does not work on Australia's 4G network. Apple's lawyers said they were willing to publish a clarification. However the company does not accept that it misled customers. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said on Tuesday: "Apple's recent promotion of the new 'iPad with wi-fi + 4G' is misleading because it represents to Australian consumers that the product can, with a sim card, connect to a 4G mobile data network in Australia, when this is not the case." The watchdog then lodged a complaint at the Federal Court in Melbourne. At a preliminary hearing, Apple lawyer Paul Anastassiou said Apple had never claimed the device would work fully on the current 4G network operated by Telstra. Apple says the new iPad works on what is globally accepted to be a 4G network. The matter will go to a full trial on 2 May. The Apple iPad's third version went on sale earlier this month, with Australia the first country where it was available. Shoppers lined up by the hundreds at Apple stores on opening day and the company said it had been its strongest iPad launch to date. The ACCC said it was seeking an injunction on sales as well as a financial penalty against Apple, corrective advertising and refunds to consumers. On its website, Apple does state that 4G LTE is only supported on selected networks in the US and Canada.

The Vatican has tried to gain entry to a so-called "white list" of countries that are recognised globally as financially transparent. The report said the Vatican's measures for tackling money laundering and financing of terrorism were inadequate. However, the bank had "come a long way" in addressing financial transparency. The report by Moneyval - the European body that vets banks - graded the secretive bank in 16 key areas. The Vatican bank was found to be falling short on seven of them and given a negative grade. Moneyval said the reporting of suspicious transactions was deficient and found the Vatican police to be ill equipped to deal with financial crime. While offences such as financing terrorism had been criminalised by the Holy See - the central administration of the Vatican - methods used to prevent these crimes had not been implemented, Moneyval said. The Moneyval report is not a qualification for entry on the "white list", but its approval influences a country's ability to gain international recognition for good financial practices.

Cameroon government spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary announced the details, saying organisers should not worry.

"On the contrary, it is an opportunity for any changes and consultation in order to ascertain the state of preparedness and to readjust as necessary the strategy for the full success of the event," he added. The 2019 tournament in Cameroon will feature 24 teams instead of 16 for the first time in history and will be held in June and July rather than January and February. Cameroon, as well as being hosts, will be the defending champions having won the 2017 title earlier this year in Gabon. Speaking in Yaounde, Tchiroma cautioned the media to stop sending out negative signals which he said undermine Cameroon's ability to stage this event. He warned that such an "unjustified attitude" had led some countries to think they could step in for Cameroon to host the 2019 event, and said that sending out misleading allegations is "unacceptable, a betrayal and an act of hostility" against their fatherland. Last month, Cameroon's Sports Minister Ismael Bidoung assured the public that Cameroon would be ready on time. Tchiroma reiterated this, and stated that the Cameroonian government, in collaboration with the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) will work closely with President Paul Biya as well as the Prime Minister, other companies and partners who he said are all committed to providing a good standard of infrastructure by their deadline. "The mission will visit each of the sites selected for the event and inspect all infrastructure involved in the organisation of the event in terms of sport, hotel, roads, airport, hospitals, and telecommunications.

The rarely-seen sketch is a precursor to An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, and is on the reverse of a self-portrait of the artist. It has been loaned to Tate Britain as part of a display of Wright's work. The paintings show a white cockatoo being deprived of oxygen as the formation of a vacuum is demonstrated. Tate Britain curator Greg Sullivan said: "Having an opportunity to compare the early sketch with the final version will give us some insight into his original ideas about the work and what decisions he made to get to the final painting." In the finished work, Wright depicts the demonstrator with his hand poised over the valve of the air pump, leaving it unclear whether the bird will die or be saved at the last minute. However, the newly-displayed sketch shows that Wright originally planned to show the demonstrator holding his hand out to comfort a small girl, presumably offering reassurance that the bird would not die.

The sketch shows how Wright decided to "ramp up the drama" in the final version, she said.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the March to May period showed a rise against the December to February numbers. But an annual comparison showed there were only 3,000 more people out of work than in the same period last spring. Unemployment has risen across the UK for the first time in two years. The number of people classed as in employment, however, is up by 36,000 compared to 12 months ago, and 34,000 fewer people described as economically inactive.

Insurance firm Prudential and investment firm Blackstone have teamed up to buy the loans. The government took on the mortgages of Bradford & Bingley after rescuing the lender in 2008. UK Asset Resolution (UKAR), which has been handling the sale, says that terms and conditions for the 104,000 loans will not change. The deal is one of the biggest asset sales by a European government. "The sale of these Bradford & Bingley assets for £11.8bn marks another major milestone in our plan to get taxpayers' money back following the financial crisis," Chancellor Philip Hammond said in a statement. "We are determined to return the financial assets we own to the private sector and today's sale is further proof of the confidence investors have in the UK economy." Bradford & Bingley had been a conservatively-run building society, but in 1999 abandoned its mutual status and moved into riskier areas of lending. That strategy backfired in 2008 when the UK housing market slumped amid the global financial crisis. When Bradford & Bingley was rescued that year, its branches and deposit accounts were sold to Spain's Santander, while the government took over responsibility for the mortgages. UKAR was set-up in 2010 to manage that portfolio of mortgages, as well as loans taken on following the collapse of Northern Rock. It started with £116bn worth of loans on its books and the latest sale cuts those holdings to £22bn - of that £12.7bn originated from Bradford & Bingley and £9.7bn originally came from Northern Rock. UKAR says the remaining loans are a mix of performing and non-performing loans. Around half are residential mortgages while the rest are buy-to-let. A non-performing loan is generally classified as one where the borrower has not made a scheduled payment for more than 90 days. When you sell a bunch of mortgages, what matters to the buyer is who the borrowers are and whether they are likely to pay their loans back. All of these former Bradford & Bingley borrowers are buy-to-let investors. 90% are on average interest rates of only 1.75% above Bank of England base rate, which is currently 0.25%. And, typically, they have managed to invest in more than one property, an average of 1.8 each. In other words, out of the rubble of what remains of the stricken lender, these are the most solid looking prospects. What's left in the portfolio which remains with the taxpayer? Some more buy-to-letters and, crucially, 56,000 residential borrowers. They include many stuck on an interest rate of nearly 5%, thousands in financial difficulty and over a thousand who have been referred for help in dealing with debt. Offloading these loans is likely to be much more difficult.

Susan Norman, 68, died when tonnes of mud and rubble engulfed her flat in Looe, Cornwall, in March 2013. An inquest jury concluded Cornwall Council had not listened to "consistent and frustrated complaints" from residents about previous landslips. The authority has apologised to Mrs Norman's family. More on the landslide inquest and other news from Devon and Cornwall The court heard neighbours had warned Cornwall Council about the risk of erosion and questioned the stability of the land years before the fatal accident. Mrs Norman's landlady, Christina Miller, told the inquest as soon as her tenant raised concerns she had called in a structural engineer who warned about the risk of "catastrophic collapse". A post-mortem report read to the jury at Truro Magistrates' Court said Mrs Norman died immediately. The jury said in its findings: "Cornwall Council did not listen to regular consistent and frustrated complaints by the residents. Cornwall Council did not respond to an independent report highlighting risk." It added: "The landslide was caused, or more than normally contributed to, by a failure of Cornwall Council to prevent the surface water moving from St Martin's Road on to the rear of Veronica's (Mrs Norman's house)." After the inquest, Mrs Norman's daughter Helen Hazeltine said: "She was taken away from us and she didn't have to be. "This should never happen again and I don't want anyone else to go through this, at all, ever." Kate Kennally, Cornwall Council's chief executive, said: "I would like to apologise to Mrs Norman's family and friends and express our sincere condolences for their loss." She said it would "not be appropriate to comment in more detail", as court proceedings against the council and its civil engineering arm CORMAC had been lodged.

Northern Irishman Allen, 31, led 5-2 before the four-time champion fought back to win. "It's my own fault. I don't prepare properly for these tournaments," world number 11 Allen. "I don't practise at 10 o'clock in the morning. I didn't get started until 12 o'clock today." The Northern Irishman led 5-3 after hitting three century breaks in a brilliant first session on Friday only for Higgins to dominate Saturday's morning session as he moved 9-7 up. Allen won the first frame of the final session to reduce the lead to the minimum but suffered a kick while on a break of 58 in the next and after Higgins pinched that frame, the Northern Irishman was largely frozen out for the remainder of the contest. "I think 13-9 wasn't really a fair reflection on the match. I felt like I really played well in spells but a couple of things went against me," added the Antrim man. "John played really well himself. Take nothing away from him. He closed out the match the way you would expect John Higgins to do." Media playback is not supported on this device However, Allen felt the match slipped away from him in Saturday's morning session as Higgins took six of the eight frames. "Twelve o'clock is normally the time when I'm getting up and lazing about the house," added Allen, who has won three ranking tournaments in his 12-year professional career. "You need to prepare in all facets. Not just working on the table but working on the table at the right times. I just wasn't prepared for a 10 o'clock match." However, when asked whether he will address the morning session issue in the future, Allen replied:"Probably not." Allen added that he is attempting to lose weight in order to boost his ability to perform in the major tournaments. "I've got to keep working hard and lose a bit of weight. I've lost a stone and half since the Masters. There's maybe another seven [stone] to go. I'll just keep working hard." The Northern Irishman revealed that his hopes of working again with his former coach Terry Griffiths had been dashed. "Myself and Terry thought we were getting back together. He's said 'no'. That's a hard one for me because we had a very close relationship."

The decision means Mr Sarao will remain in custody while fighting his extradition to the United States. Mr Sarao had requested that his bail conditions be relaxed, as his assets had been frozen. But Judge Ross Cranston turned down his application. "There's no substantial reassurance that this applicant is not a flight risk," he said. Mr Sarao, 36, was arrested on a US extradition warrant on 21 April after being charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud and market manipulation by the US Department of Justice (DoJ). In a bail hearing earlier this month, Mr Sarao said that he "did nothing wrong". However, the DoJ claims that Mr Sarao and his firm, Nav Sarao Futures, made £26m ($40m) illegally over five years. From the court: Andy Verity, economics correspondent, BBC news Should the so-called "flash crash trader" Navinder Singh Sarao be kept in jail for months pending his extradition hearing? On the face of it, Navinder Sarao's lawyers have some powerful arguments to make. He has been granted bail. But one of the conditions of bail, a requirement to pay £5m into court as security, is "impossible and unlawful for him to comply with". That, his lawyers say is because of a worldwide freezing order on his assets imposed by a US court. "He has no money whatsoever," his barrister James Lewis QC told the High Court today. "If it was right in principle to grant bail it must follow that conditions of bail must not amount to a denial of bail." In spite of vehement protests by Mr Lewis, Mr Justice Cranston went with the US authorities. Mr Sarao now faces the prospect of months in jail before and during the extradition proceedings, which are due to start in September and may last until the new year. A long spell to spend in jail, considering he was granted bail - though his US accusers will have little sympathy. His lawyers will now try to demonstrate that he does not have assets elsewhere. They will struggle: it's never easy to prove a negative. Mr Sarao ran the business from his parents' home in Hounslow, west London. The DoJ accuses him of using an "automated trading program" to manipulate markets, and of contributing to the flash crash of 6 May 2010. On that day, the Dow Jones index lost 700 points in a matter of minutes - wiping about $800bn off the value of US shares - before recovering just as quickly. Regulators say one of the main causes of the crash was high-frequency traders placing multiple sell orders.

The boots mirror the action of the walker's calf muscle and Achilles tendon, saving energy and showing that there is room for improvement in our already very well-tuned gait. Previous research had produced similar gains but only by using powered, pneumatic "muscles". The new device is reported in Nature. Senior author of the study, Dr Gregory Sawicki, from the joint biomedical engineering department of the University of North Carolina and NC State University, said the unpowered exoskeleton acted "like a catapult". "It has a spring that mimics the action of your Achilles tendon, and works in parallel with your calf muscles to reduce the load placed upon them," Dr Sawicki said. Key to the boots' success is a mechanical clutch, which puts tension on the spring when the foot is touching the ground but leaves it slack when the foot lifts and swings forward through the air. This clutch is made from a ratchet that engages with each footfall and takes up the slack on the spring; it then locks while the foot is on the ground - allowing the spring to off-load some of the strain on the walker's muscles and tendons - and releases again at the back of the stride. "The clutch is essential to engage the spring only while the foot is on the ground, allowing it to store and then release elastic energy," explained Dr Sawicki. Nine participants tested the gadgets, walking on a treadmill under very close monitoring, both with and without the exoskeletons. The energy saving was small but important, Dr Sawicki said: "A 7% reduction in energy cost is like taking off a 10-pound (4.5kg) backpack, which is significant. "Though it's surprising that we were able to achieve this advantage over a system strongly shaped by evolution, this study shows that there's still a lot to learn about human biomechanics and a seemingly simple behaviour like walking." Co-author Dr Steven Collins, from Carnegie Mellon University, said that with some more development, the invention had the potential to help people who have difficulty walking. "Someday soon we may have simple, lightweight and relatively inexpensive exoskeletons to help us get around, especially if we've been slowed down by injury or aging," Dr Collins said.

From the moment he sat alongside fellow countryman Javier Mascherano at Upton Park on Thursday, 31 August 2006, Tevez took a central role in the Premier League's dramatic story - first at West Ham, then with Manchester United and latterly during a eventful stint with City. The 29-year-old is revered as a Hammers' hero for preserving their place in the top flight with a winner at Old Trafford on the final day of the 2006-07 season, sending Sheffield United down and sparking an acrimonious, expensive row. Having been West Ham's saviour, he joined up with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney to form a golden triangle of attacking talent at Old Trafford, before becoming - literally - the poster boy for City's challenge to the dominance of their neighbours. Tevez's shock arrival at West Ham set the tone for his seven years in England. An outstanding attacker, he was beset by controversy but was gifted and single-minded enough to move on and collect the domestic and European game's highest honours. The fall-out from that Tevez winner at Old Trafford took years to settle. West Ham were fined £5.5m after being found guilty of acting improperly and withholding vital documentation over a potential third-party ownership row surrounding Tevez and Mascherano. Crucially, West Ham were not deducted points - so Sheffield United dropped into the Championship insisting they were the victims of injustice. A compensation payment, reported to be £18.1m, was eventually agreed between the two clubs. Manchester United: Manchester City: For all this, Tevez was not distracted and demonstrated - as he would so often - that he could dismiss off-field matters to excel for his club. And excel he did, a player who always won the hearts of supporters by welding natural talent to a tireless work ethic and an ability to drag his team-mates into areas of endeavour they may not have wished to go. There have been many accusations levelled at Tevez during his time in England but he could never be accused of offering up short change once he was on the pitch. Sir Alex Ferguson was impressed enough by Tevez to take him to Old Trafford just three months after he scored that vital goal for West Ham. But even that transfer was overshadowed by controversy. There were questions as to whether the £2m "transfer fee", for what effectively became a two-year loan deal, should be paid to his club or to the companies MSI and Just Sports Inc, belonging to advisor Kia Joorabchian, a constant presence in the player's career. United fans soon forgot this wrangling as he helped them to consecutive Premier League titles, and a clutch of other trophies. He played in the 2008 Champions League final win over Chelsea in Moscow - scoring in the penalty shoot-out - and the subsequent Fifa Club World Cup victory. Another Champions League final came 12 months later, and he played the second half as they lost to Barcelona in Rome. In between, Tevez scored in another shoot-out as Tottenham were defeated in the 2009 League Cup final. Tevez scored 34 goals in 99 league and cup starts, and became a hugely popular figure with United's fans. Those supporters pleaded noisily with Ferguson to sign him on as speculation mounted about his future in 2009 - even voicing loud disapproval when he was substituted in the title-clinching goalless draw against Arsenal that turned out to be his final Old Trafford appearance for United. This status was to change forever once a £25.5 permanent move to United failed to materialise and Tevez swiftly became the symbol of the new financial muscle being wielded across the city at the Etihad Stadium. He changed sides in a signing that was not only a shot across Ferguson's bows but also a clear signal that City's Abu Dhabi owners meant very serious business. As if this was not enough, a giant city-centre poster of Tevez - arms outstretched in triumph - soon appeared under a sky blue graphic emblazoned with the words "Welcome To Manchester". Ferguson's nose could not have turned up more had Tevez let off a stink bomb off in his office as he said: "It's City isn't it? They're a small club with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United. They can't get away from it. "They think taking Carlos Tevez away from Manchester United is a triumph. It is poor stuff." But the signing of Tevez was not simply about football politics. City had acquired a top-class player with a point to prove at the peak of his career. It was a potent cocktail. He became an instant hero at City. Many will remember his two goals in the League Cup semi-final against United in January 2010, not least a celebration of his second goal that took him ominously close to a stone-faced Ferguson. United won that battle over two legs but City had arrived for the long-term - something that could never quite be said with conviction about Tevez. He subjected a written transfer request in December 2010, citing homesickness, but that was soon smoothed over. Five months later, Tevez captained City as they won their first trophy for 35 years, defeating Stoke City 1-0 at Wembley to win the FA Cup. The biggest row to engulf Tevez and his camp came in September 2011 when manager Roberto Mancini insisted he refused to come as a substitute in the Champions League defeat away to Bayern Munich. Tevez and his representatives always insisted this was not the case and that there had been a misunderstanding but it led to a protracted public stand-off, with Mancini insisting the striker could not play for City again. The timeline of events revealed the scale of the rift as City initially suspended Tevez for two weeks pending an investigation. Tevez was later fined for misconduct before flying back to South America to begin unauthorised leave on 7 November - a move that cost him nearly £10m in salary, fines and lost bonus payments. An apology eventually arrived in February and, despite some early unease, City's fans welcomed Tevez back for the climax to the season. He returned in time to be part of an extraordinary finish to the campaign, as City ended a 44-year wait for the league title in dramatic fashion, thanks to Sergio Aguero's injury-time winner against QPR. It was an unlikely transformation from villain to hero, even by Tevez's standards. Sadly for City, it could not be repeated last season. Mancini lost his job in May and, with Manuel Pellegrini moving in, Tevez is finally taking his leave. Despite all the controversies during his four years with City, Tevez leaves on amicable terms. Both player and club see his transfer to Juventus as a fact of football life. He had one year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium and a new one was not in the offing. He leaves with the best wishes of the majority of City supporters. Most of them see him as someone who joined them on the ground floor as they began their rise to challenge United. The Premier League is likely to be duller for the departure of Carlos Tevez.

Carlos Tevez 's departure from Manchester City for Juventus will leave behind a trail of trophies and headlines - @placeholder the good , the bad and the ugly side of the Argentine 's turbulent club career .

I can reveal that Adrian Wooldridge is going to be the new author of the Bagehot column in the Economist. Named after Walter Bagehot, the mathematician, lawyer, businessman and pamphleteer who was for 16 years the third editor of the Economist, making it essential reading in Victorian England, this column on UK politics is still one of the prize assets in political journalism in Britain today. Previous authors include the BBC's Andrew Marr and Matthew Symonds, one of the founders of the Independent. Andrew Miller, who wrote the column from 2007 until 2010, was superb. Its current author, Jeremy Cliffe, who has been tipped as a future editor of the Economist, is becoming the Berlin bureau chief, at a time when the crisis in Europe makes that job particularly interesting. Wooldridge, a fellow of All Souls in Oxford, is one of the magazine's intellectual powerhouses and a brilliant writer. (The Economist still styles itself as a newspaper, but is clearly not what we mean by a newspaper in modern parlance.) Wooldridge co-authored several books with his friend John Micklethwait, who is now editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. When he was editor of the Economist, Micklethwait introduced a column on business called Schumpeter, named after the great Austrian-American economist. To date, Wooldridge has been its author, but he is doing his last Schumpeter column for the forthcoming Christmas issue. He will then take three months off to write a book, starting as Bagehot in April. The new "Schumpeter" is Patrick Foulis, who is currently New York bureau chief.

The Ralph Lauren outfit was in keeping with the theme of this year's ball, an homage to Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, and won fashion plaudits from the moment she glided up the stairs. There have been close to 16,000 tweets just about Chopra, which means the country has been tweeting about her pretty much since waking up. ... is it really an advertisement for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet "clean India" movement, locally known as Swacch Bharat Abhiyan? Because obviously the dress would be a highly effective cleaning mechanism. This seems to be by far the most popular theory around her dress and what it means. Some people have even tweeted directly to the prime minister, asking him to appoint her as an official "ambassador" for the project. The movement has used celebrities including cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan as ambassadors before, so as theories go it isn't too far off! We're just going to let this tweet speak for itself. The verdict in both India and the US is near unanimous - Priyanka Chopra simply won in that dress. Elle Magazine called the dress "FANCY", US Magazine declared that "Priyanka Chopra slayed" and Time Out New York picked her as one of its 10 best "favourite looks" at the Met Gala. In pictures: Met Gala's oddest outfits The press reactions in India have run along similar lines. The Times of India newspaper said that she "swept away the competition" while the Deccan Chronicle said she "looked like a princess". The sentiment on Twitter was not too far off.

Peter Gillespie, 64, from Hertfordshire, was part of a £4.7m plot to bring two million doses of counterfeit drugs from China to the UK. He was convicted of conspiring to defraud pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacists and members of the public. He was convicted by a jury at Croydon Crown Court. By mimicking authentic, properly manufactured and tested medicines, Gillespie illegally infiltrated the regulated system designed to protect the public and pharmaceutical industry, the court heard. The counterfeit medicines contained only a fraction of the correct dosage. They included Zyprexa, a medicine to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Andrew Marshall, prosecuting, said patients had been put at risk by his fraud. "This case is considered to represent the most serious breach of the medicine control regime - it's the most serious breach that has happened in the EU," he told jurors. "It has had far-reaching effects for the pharmaceutical industry, control mechanisms, patients and the confidence of the public." The case arose from a £750,000 three-and-a-half-year investigation by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Mick Deats, head of enforcement, said after the trial that 72,000 packs of counterfeit medicine - with a retail value of £4.7m - penetrated the UK supply chain between December 2006 and May 2007. Some 25,000 of these packs reached pharmacies and were given to patients. The MHRA was able to seize 40,000 before they got to pharmacies, and 7,000 were recovered following recalls. Although the drugs contained just 50% to 80% of the correct ingredients, Mr Deats did not believe they caused any fatalities or adverse reactions. At Croydon Crown Court, Gillespie, of High Street, Bovingdon, was also found guilty of selling or supplying drugs without a marketing authorisation between January 2006 and June 2007. Jurors also found him guilty of a charge of acting as a company director while disqualified. Mr Deats added the MHRA now hoped to seize anything Gillespie obtained through his scam in a proceeds of crime hearing. Four other men - his brother Ian, 59, of The Green, Marsh Baldon, Oxfordshire; Richard Kemp, 61, of School Lane, Y Waen, Flint, north Wales; Ian Harding, 58, of Lower Westwood, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire; and James Quinn, 70, of Virginia Park, Virginia Water, Surrey - were acquitted of all charges. Another person connected to the case had already been convicted in the US.

The European bronze medallist from Portaferry clocked 4:11.51 to come in behind Ethiopia's world record holder Genzebe Dibaba (4:10.61). Mageean, 24, stayed close to the lead throughout the race and moved into second place as Dibaba sprinted clear. The Irish athlete was able to ease up close to the line in a confident run. Those behind Mageean in the remaining four qualifying places included highly-rated America Brenda Martinez and Poland's Angelika Cichocka, who won gold at this year's European Championships when the Irishwoman took the bronze. Non-qualifiers from the heat included Dutchwoman Maureen Koster, Morocco's Siham Hilali and Kenya's Nancy Chepkwemoi who all have faster personal bests than Mageean. "If I didn't think I'd qualify, I wouldn't be here," said the county Down woman. Mageean said that she had drawn inspiration from Ireland's silver medal-winning rowing brothers Paul and Gary O'Donovan. "It was great to see them medal and gives more motivation to perform at this level. I ran my own race and I just need to stay focused for the semi-finals."

MI5 recorded the names of about 4,000 people from Britain and Ireland suspected of travelling to join the war, National Archives files show. The previous estimate stood at about 2,500. Many volunteers were communists and of interest to MI5. One name on the list is Eric Blair, better known as author George Orwell. His experiences in the Spanish Civil War were documented in his book Homage to Catalonia. The details of those who had joined the fight against General Franco's forces between 1936 and 1939 continued to be updated by security service MI5 up until the mid-1950s. The record for Orwell covers the period in which he published the bestselling novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, until his death in January 1950. The files, which can be downloaded free for a month, comprise more than 200 pages detailing the movements of the men and women who left British ports for the Spanish front line - as well as a "roll of honour" of some of those killed in action. James Cronan, the National Archives' diplomatic and colonial records specialist, said it was not clear how many of those who left actually reached Spain, but he added that "we know that hundreds never returned". "The International Brigades and associated militia brought volunteers together from all over the world in defence of democracy but few, if any, records exist of their service," he said. "That's why uncovering a document like this is so exciting." This year marks the 75th anniversary of the start of the war in July 1936.

The report, by retired judge Roger Gyles, examined the behaviour of sailors aboard the ship HMAS Success between March and May 2009. He found no evidence of a rumoured "sex ledger" awarding cash prizes for sexual conquests, but did find a bounty had been placed on one female colleague. Defence chiefs have vowed to eradicate such behaviour. The report examined the conduct of sailors aboard the HMAS Success as it docked at ports in the Philippines, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, supplying naval combat units with fuel, ammunition, food and stores. in Hong Kong, the report found, sailors had collapsed from excessive alcohol consumption and at a bar in Qingdao, China, sailors had had public sex while others watched. Two bars in Manila were damaged. At the core of the bad behaviour was a group of senior "marine technical" (MT) sailors in the engine room. "There was evidence of predatory sexual behaviour" among parts of the crew, Mr Gyles reported. "A combination of a culture of silence and mutual protection among MT sailors and intimidation and fear of repercussions on the part of those contemplating complaints against MT sailors provided a powerful cover against exposure of poor behaviour," he said. While no evidence was found of a notorious "sex ledger" of conquests, "the existence of competitions to have sex with nominated females, as organised in the engine room, had been part of the folklore on Success since at least 2004", wrote Mr Gyles. The report makes no recommendation for action against individual sailors, though the navy is reported to have carried out its own internal audit which does identify individual miscreants for punishment. Defence Minister Stephen Smith said such bad behaviour would not be tolerated and a plan had been developed to try to ensure such incidents could not be repeated. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston blamed the breakdown on a lack of leadership. "We are absolutely seized with a need to cut out this cancer that we found on Success," he said.

The 30-year-old is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol while more than twice the legal limit in Paisley on 21 February. He entered a not guilty plea at the city's sheriff court. The multi-platinum selling artist was arrested after being spotted driving a Mini Cooper S in Maxwellton Street, Canal Street and High Road. A trial date in the case has been set for the end of June. Lawyers acting for Mr Nutini said they had been unable to fully prepare his defence because of his South American tour. Throughout April, the singer played shows in Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Solicitor Brian Lanaghan told the court that his client pleaded not guilty. He added: "He has been abroad on business and flew back in last night so full instructions [from him about his defence in this case] have still to be taken. "However, I am content for the matter to continue to trial." Prosecutors claim Mr Nutini had 48 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath - more than double the 22mcg legal limit - while driving. He first appeared in the dock over the claims in March. Procurator fiscal depute Frank Clarke said prosecutors were still awaiting a "forensic calculation" of Nutini's alleged alcohol levels and that there were three witnesses against him - one civilian and two police officers. Sheriff Craig Harris adjourned the case until next month.

TrueTube, an educational platform, has been named a contender for three awards in total, including best drama and secondary learning. Horrible Histories also earned three nominations, all for its special episode celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. The awards will be held at the Roundhouse in London on 20 November. TrueTube's success "demonstrates the shift in how young audiences are consuming media", Bafta said. The website's drama nomination is for Refugee, a 12-minute film following a British girl and her family who have fled their home, while Katie, about a gay, Catholic nurse in a children's ward, is up for the learning award.

Mageean's coach Jerry Kiernan told BBC Sport NI that both he and the county Down woman had been informed too late about the offer of a place in the team. The meeting takes place in Vaasa, Finland from 23-25 June. "Ciara has already committed to running an 800m in Sligo next Wednesday (21 June)," said Kiernan. "She ran a 1500m in Rome on Thursday and an 800m at the Northern Ireland Championships on Saturday and has other races planned over the coming period. "She has a racing programme mapped out and also needs to find the time to do the necessary training. "When she ran in Belfast last weekend, she was totally unaware of the European Team event and that was also the case with me until 48 hours ago." Mageean ran the second fastest 1500m of her career in Rome as she clocked a world championship qualifying standard of 4:04.49. With Mageean unavailable, Claire Tarplee will run the 1500m in Finland with Naas athlete Claire Mooney picked for the 800m. While Mageean will be absent, a number of Northern Ireland athletes have been selected. Rio Olympian Kerry O'Flaherty is picked in the 3,000m steeplechase despite being troubled by a calf injury in recent weeks. Emma Mitchell's fine recent form earns her selection in the 3000m while Finn Valley high jumper Sommer Lecky is also picked after equalling the Irish junior record recently with a leap of 1.85m. Amy Foster is picked for the 100m and 4x100m while Christine McMahon (400H), Ben Reynolds (110H), Adam McMullen (long jump), Dempsey McGuigan (hammer), Christian Robinson (4x100m) and Andrew Mellon (4x400m) are also selected. In addition, Donegal-based athletes Mark English (800m) and Ann Marie McGlynn (5,000m) are picked.

The current cap applies to working-age adults and is £20,000 a year outside London and £23,000 in the capital, having been £26,000 across the UK. Ministers said the cap, designed to cut the welfare bill and encourage claimants to move off benefits and into work, had proved a "real success". But Labour called for an urgent review. People working more than 16 hours a week are exempt. Since the new lower benefit cap was introduced, only 8,000 households have come off it because they have moved into work - fewer than 10% of the families who have had their welfare cut in the last six months. Most households are no longer capped for other reasons, including cuts to their overall benefit claim. The new figures show that seven out of 10 households are single parents - most of whom have pre-school children. The previous £26,000 cap was for families only while single people without children had a cap of £18,200. A total of 10,000 capped households include a baby under one-year-old and 70% have a child aged five or under. Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke said the latest figures showed the benefit cap had been a "real success". "It is right that people who are out of work are faced with the same choices as those who are in work," he said. "But behind these figures are thousands of people who are now better off in work and enjoying the benefits of a regular wage." However, shadow work and pensions minister Margaret Greenwood said an urgent review of the cap's impact and effectiveness was needed. "Clearly, this government's decision to cut families' incomes does not amount to supporting them into work, especially given their total failure to provide adequate affordable childcare." And charity Shelter called for the cap to be scrapped immediately, saying it was pushing families "to the brink of homelessness".

The artwork, by US sculptor Charles Ray, will be replaced by a lamp-post at the tip of the Punta della Dogana. The decision has angered some art lovers who argue that it shows a failure to embrace challenging, contemporary work. But city officials say the sculpture was always intended to be temporary. Boy with Frog, which is gleaming white and 8ft (2.5m) tall, has occupied the tip of a triangular piece of land that separates the Grand and the Giudecca canals for almost four years. It shows a boy holding up a frog by one leg and gazing at it. The sculptor had earlier expressed hope that his work would become a permanent "citizen of Venice". "I never saw it as temporary," Mr Ray told the New York Times. But some residents reportedly missed a 19th Century lamp-post, long a romantic meeting spot, which stood at the spot before. Workers began to remove the sculpture overnight on Tuesday ready to clear the space early on Wednesday, Corriere del Veneto newspaper reported. In its place will be a reproduction of the original lamp-post. The old-fashioned landmark was thought to be more in keeping with the surrounding architecture, BBC Rome correspondent Alan Johnston reports. Some animal-lovers also argued that the image of a boy holding the frog upside down was cruel, our correspondent adds. But a piece in La Stampa newspaper criticised Venice's council, saying "administrative cowardice" had won out over real culture. Defending its decision, the council said the sculpture had been considered temporary and Venice had a fine record of welcoming and exhibiting modern art.

Since 2011 it's thought that more than 1,000 people moved their pension savings into schemes such as Capita Oak and Henley Retirement. They were typically told their money would be used to buy storage pods. The investors were promised returns of 8% in the first two years, with up to 12% in subsequent years. Both firms have since been wound up. The SFO is also investigating the Westminster Pension Scheme and the Trafalgar Multi Asset Fund. Investors to these schemes were told their money was being put into a variety of other assets, including property loans, as well as investments in Mauritius and Florida. Many individuals were persuaded by cold-callers to withdraw savings from final-salary schemes, where their money would have been safe, and their returns more generous. The SFO's figures suggest that savers may have lost an average of £120,000 each. It is asking anyone else who believes they may have been a victim of such scams to get in touch with them, as there may be many more people who are unaware of their losses. "The SFO investigation into storage pod investment schemes is a timely reminder that unregulated unusual investments at home or aboard come with a high risk that people could lose all their hard-earned pension and other savings," said Kate Smith, head of pensions at Aegon. "Savers must be on their guard. Promises of high returns or financial inducements are often scams and people falling for this type of investment scam run the risk of their lifetime's savings being lost in a matter of seconds." Since April 2015, it has become easier to withdraw money from pension funds, under the then government's so-called "pension freedoms". The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) provides a list of known pension scammers.

"The players will have access to the kind of facilities and resources the Notts squad have," the statement read. "This was another key driving factor. Together with the benefits for the playing staff, there are numerous off-field advantages also, with the ladies' side able to tap into the well-established commercial, media and marketing facilities available at Notts County." Many Lincoln Ladies supporters were angered by the move, which will see the club playing their home games around 35 miles away from their current temporary home at Lincoln City's Sincil Bank. The Lady Imps, who had an application to relocate blocked by the FA Women's Super League in 2012, say they understand fans' concerns and "are working closely with organisations in both Nottingham and Lincoln to ensure that following the club in our new home will be as easy and affordable as possible". The statement added: "It is the chairman's belief that by incorporating the ladies' team with the men's team, we can develop a one-club mentality that will benefit both sides and aid growth of the combined brand." Lady Imps player Megan Harris told BBC Lincolnshire: "It's a really tough situation. I have been with Lincoln since the very beginning so it is hard to see something that I have been part of move. "But obviously I work for the club as well and can see behind the scenes and what's going on and how the women's game is progressing.

Spaniard Nadal's 10-year run of winning at least one Grand Slam singles title was ended by the world number 32, who won 3-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4. It is the first time the 29-year-old - twice a US Open champion - has lost in a Grand Slam having been two sets up. Fognini, 28, faces Feliciano Lopez of Spain in the fourth round. Earlier this year, Nadal lost in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open to Czech Tomas Berdych and the last eight at the French Open to Serbian world number one Novak Djokovic, before he was eliminated in the second round of Wimbledon by German qualifier Dustin Brown. It is also the earliest Nadal, who was seeded eighth, has been eliminated from the US Open since a third-round exit at the hands of American James Blake in 2005. "The only thing this means is I played worse than the last 10 years," said the 14-time Grand Slam winner. "That's the real thing. By the way, for me it was amazing to win 10 years in a row a Grand Slam. "You can imagine how difficult it is to make that happen. I have to accept that it was not my year and keep fighting till the end of the season to finish in a positive way." Clay court specialist Fognini, who had lost his last seven matches on hard courts coming into this tournament, played magnificently from the third set on against an opponent he had beaten twice this season but lost to in the final of the Hamburg Open in August. In a gripping final set, the two traded seven service breaks in a row, before Fognini brought the three hour 46-minute tie to an end shortly after 01:00 local time. "I can't describe how happy I am," said Fognini. "It was very tough. To do it against Rafa, two sets down - it was an incredible match." Fognini is in to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the first time and is the first Italian man to reach this stage at the US Open since Davide Sanguinetti 10 years ago.

The event, known as a relaxed concert, was held at St David's Hall in Cardiff. It will be repeated during the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall on 29 July. The concert was designed to create a friendly, inviting environment with a relaxed attitude to music and noise from the audience. Students from Ysgol Ty Coch in Tonteg near Pontypridd took part, alongside BBC NOW's professional musicians. Sign language interpretation was provided from the stage, while chill-out areas in the auditorium were available for people to take a break from the orchestra. Conductor Grant Llewellyn, who is regularly involved in the orchestra's outreach and education work, said: "It's been a real labour of love, a mission, to try and cultivate a repertoire and a language of communication and presentation for our audiences that incorporates this wonderful world. "Not just for kids, but people with special needs who respond to music intuitively and instinctively, without any of the inhibitions which we learn. "It's just so invigorating, it's so liberating. And I can't speak for the players - but I will - I think they learn a tremendous amount. "I certainly have learnt about the nature of direct communication, and entertainment, and just unadulterated fun through music." Music was chosen for audiences who would not normally attend a classical concert and included popular works by classical composers, as well as the music from Doctor Who. Andy Pidcock, who leads many of BBC NOW's outreach sessions in schools, said it was a "special moment" for the Ysgol Ty Coch pupils. "A lot of them don't have much spoken vocabulary, so music is such a very natural way of expressing yourself. "In the sessions we actually have very little spoken language, we just use our instruments together and we create pieces with very little vocabulary. "So music is the real language, and it's very nice to see that work in practice." When the concert is repeated at the Royal Albert Hall it will be the first relaxed prom to be staged at the summer series of concerts.

The German, who needs only to finish in the top three on Sunday to win the world championship, qualified second fastest, 0.303 seconds behind Hamilton. Hamilton needs two other cars between himself and Rosberg on Sunday, but Mercedes' rivals were off their pace. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was third, but 0.834secs slower than Hamilton. Ferrari drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel were fourth and fifth, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen sixth. Sunday's race is live on the BBC Sport website and radio 5 live. Hamilton's performance was one of the most impressive of a season in which he has now taken 12 poles to Rosberg's eight despite not even being able to compete in qualifying in three races because of reliability problems. Hamilton topped all three sessions of qualifying - and was 1.024secs quicker than Rosberg in Q1, 0.108secs in Q2 and then the final margin of nearly a third of a second. It was the 61st pole of his career, four behind his hero Ayrton Senna and seven behind all-time record holder Michael Schumacher. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton said: "Wow, 61 poles. I am going to try to catch Ayrton. It has been a strange feeling coming here and realising it was going to be the last session, the last qualifying in such a great car - you never know when you are going to have a car like this again. "We got the car in a great sweet spot and I want to thank everyone - I would not have the 61 poles if it was not for them. The perfect position for tomorrow." Rosberg said: "I had a good balance and was feeling quite pleased. I got a good lap in the end but it was not good enough. I gave it everything but it wasn't possible to beat Lewis today. But I will give it everything tomorrow." Red Bull have thrown a curve ball ahead of the race by choosing to start on the super-soft tyres rather than the faster but less durable ultra-softs, used by the rest of the top 10. The plan will be to try to mix things up and get in amongst the Mercedes, and this could play a role in strategy in the race. Ricciardo said: "We have to try something. It seems to be in a bit of a trend, if we are in a position to qualify on a different tyres we will try and see if it gives us a good opportunity. We will see if it puts us in the fight." The team showed strong pace in the long runs on Friday practice - at least as good as the Mercedes. "We were strong on the long runs and it looks good," Ricciardo said. "I think it is going to be fun. There will be a fight between these guys and hopefully we can do something to make it even more exciting than it already is." Jenson Button will start the final race of his Formula 1 career 12th. He was 0.228 seconds slower in second qualifying than team-mate Fernando Alonso - in the region of the typical gap between the two. Alonso ultimately qualified ninth, behind the Force Indias of Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez and ahead of Williams' Felipe Massa, who like Button is retiring after this race. Button said: "Fernando did a good job but I think we did too. We start just outside the top 10. With that, we can start with new tyres and tyre a different strategy, which could be good. I'm looking forward to the race." Media playback is not supported on this device Abu Dhabi Grand Prix qualifying results Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage details

Last November, High Court judge Mr Justice Jay ruled an Ofsted ruling that segregating boys and girls was unlawful discrimination was "erroneous". He ruled the Ofsted report could be published but the school, Birmingham's Al-Hijrah, should not be named in it. Lawyers applied for the school's anonymity to be lifted. In November, the High Court ruled that Al-Hijrah school had not breached equality legislation by teaching boys and girls separately. But Mr Justice Jay, sitting in London, rejected claims that the Ofsted inspectors had been biased. He allowed Ofsted to publish the rest of its inspection report placing anonymised "School X" into special measures, after inspectors found books in the school library that gave tacit approval to domestic violence. The judge gave both Ofsted and the school leave to appeal. The school sought to block publication of the Ofsted report, with the backing of its local education authority. The issues raised by the case will be analysed by the Court of Appeal on Tuesday. On the eve of the two-day hearing, Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Daily Mail, applied for the school's anonymity to be lifted so it could be fully identified during the appeal. Sir Terence Etherton, Master of the Rolls, sitting with Lady Justice Gloster and Lord Justice Beatson, said: "We have reached the clear decision on this application that we consider anonymity should be raised so that [the press and media] will be able to name the school." Full reasons would be given later, said the court.

But the victory in Scotland backed up the previous week's win at home to Scarlets and Mallinder wants his side to build momentum when they return to league action. "I think it was a step up from how we've played this season," he said. "I think the intensity in attack, particularly in defence, was where we need to be.

Ofsted found investigations into abuse "are not always compliant" with guidelines, poor record management and inadequate services for care leavers. Inspectors said senior leaders were aware of issues but a "corporate failure" over recruitment meant they were not addressed. Wirral Council said £2m was being invested to improve the service. In the report, Ofsted rated leadership and management, the experiences and progress of care leavers and the services provided to children who need help and protection as inadequate. The council performs well with children most at risk, but does not react as quickly to those at a "lower risk". It found staff turnover was high, there has been a failure to recruit a permanent head of services and social workers' caseloads, though not excessive, are often complex. The watchdog said the authority does not know where many of those who leave care are or what they are doing. Julia Hassall, director of children's services said: "Social workers are constantly being asked to do more, with much less... but we need to create the right environment for our staff, and give them the right tools to do their jobs well." The improvement plan, with the additional £2m investment from council reserves, includes more effective training and development for staff and recruiting and retaining social workers. Eric Robinson, chief executive of the council, said: "These failings are unacceptable... It is absolutely vital we put them right as quickly as possible." The Department for Education said it takes "tough action where councils are failing children" and expects Wirral Council to improve as a matter of urgency.

It has become the fastest-selling games console in the Japanese firm's history, with 2.7 million units bought in March - the first month it was available. But Nintendo's profit estimate of 65bn yen ($583.9m; £453m) for the year to March 2018 was below market forecasts. Like other console makers, Nintendo is having to counter the rise of the smartphone as a tool for gaming. And because - unlike Sony and Microsoft - Nintendo relies on games and consoles for almost all its sales, it is arguably more vulnerable to this trend. Nintendo said it was aiming to sell 10 million units of the Switch by March 2018 - which would make it the firm's biggest hit since the Wii launched in November 2006. "I was relieved by a strong start of the Switch," said Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima "If the 10 million target is achieved... that means the sales momentum would be close to the Wii." He batted away criticism that the profit forecast was too low, saying that the money spent marketing the Switch was eating into profits. The Switch looks like a tablet computer with Joy-Con controllers that attach to its sides, and can be played both on televisions and as a standalone device. It launched with a just handful of games, with some critics saying there were too few. But the popularity of one game - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - is believed to be a driver for many of the sales. Soon after the launch, thousands of owners of Switch complained about dead or stuck pixels creating distracting and annoying dark squares on their screens.

Julius Hatley called Forth Worth police on Thursday after both his window and central air conditioning units broke and his home became unbearably hot. "This wasn't a regular 911 call," Fort Worth Officer William Margolis told CBS 11, noting "we're not AC techs". Together with his partner, Christopher Weir, they chose to buy him a new unit. "When we got there around 8:30am his house was 85 to 90 (29-35C) degrees already," Fort Worth Officer William Margolis said. "In Texas, it gets hot," the five-year police veteran added. Mr Hatley explained to the officers that he had been trying to keep cool on his outdoor porch. That's when Officers Margolis and Weir decided to use their own money to buy a replacement window unit. Employees at the hardware store were so impressed when they heard the reason for their shopping trip that they contributed another $150 (£120). Since the story first gained attention in local media, other Good Samaritans have come forward with offers to fix Mr Hatley's air conditioner, paint his house and buy him groceries every week.

The proposals are specifically aimed at reducing the high rates of teenage smokers in France. Health Minister Marisol Touraine plans to follow Australia's example, which introduced similar measures in 2012. Experts say removing branding on packets and adding large health warnings reduced smoking in Australia. However, some tobacco companies dispute the evidence for this and say France's plans are incomprehensible. Smoking is the main cause of death in France, with more than 70,000 people dying each year of tobacco-related illnesses. The new measures, which will come into effect once the law goes through the National Assembly, also includes a ban on smoking in children's play areas in public parks and in cars carrying children under 12. In addition, advertising of e-cigarettes will be restricted before being banned in May 2016, except at the point of sale and in trade publications. Ms Touraine says there are 13 million smokers in France - which has a population of around 66 million - and the "number of smokers is growing, especially among young people." "We can't accept that tobacco kills 73,000 people every year in our country - the equivalent of a plane crash every day with 200 people on board," she added. The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says the move goes well beyond what France is required to do under European anti-smoking rules. EU laws already force tobacco firms to cover 65% of the packaging with health warnings, but Ms Touraine said they would be "the same shape, same size, same colour, same typeset" if the ban came into effect. Celine Audibert, a spokeswoman for French firm Seita, which is a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, described the move as "completely incomprehensible". "It's based on the Australian experience which, more than a failure, was a complete fiasco," added Ms Audibert. In 2012, Australia forced all cigarettes to be sold in identical brown packets, largely covered with graphic health warnings. Tobacco clearances, an indicator of tobacco volumes in the Australian market, fell 3.4% in 2013 compared with 2012. But Australia also raised cigarette taxes that led to consumer prices increasing, creating doubt over which move made the most difference.

Actors Stephanie Cole, Samantha Bond and Greta Scacchi all trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and are now backing its funding appeal. The venue marks its 250th anniversary this year and wants to raise funds for the next phase of its redevelopment. Ms Bond, who played Lady Rosamund in Downton Abbey, said: "We need to raise a bit more money and that's it sorted." The Old Vic opened in 1766 and claims to be the UK's oldest working theatre. It was closed for an 18-month refurbishment between 2010 and 2012 and is currently raising £12.5m to transform its front of house spaces. Ms Bond, a former theatre student, said it was "the most beautiful theatre to play". "It's a bit like playing to a very warm armchair - the auditorium envelops the audience and makes it an absolute joy for the actor," she said. Stephanie Cole, who starred in Tenko and Coronation Street, also began her career at the Old Vic. "The first time I stood on the stage and was paid for it was here - when I was 17," she said. "And when I finished at the Vic School I joined the company for a year - it is the most wonderful theatre. What can I say it's a jewel - it's magic." Greta Scacchi, best known for her lead role in the film White Mischief, also described the theatre as a "place of magic". "It's fortunate Bristol not only has this theatre - this historic jewel of an auditorium - but that it's in a city of this size where it's a focal point and people can feel very proud of it," she said.

A £ 12.5 m appeal to finish refurbishing a theatre in Bristol is being supported by three @placeholder former students .
