The restrictions on drones, which are remotely-controlled, unmanned aircraft, will apply between 09:00 BST on Thursday and 22:30 on Sunday. The ban also extends between London and Windsor, where Mr Obama will have lunch with the Queen on Friday. Authorities said it was a routine ban, similar to those used at sports events. It comes after a London-bound flight is believed to have hit a drone on Sunday. Detectives launched an investigation after the pilot of the British Airways flight approaching Heathrow reported his aircraft being hit by a drone. Police say the drone was being flown near the area of Richmond Park in south-west London. Are drones dangerous or harmless fun? The rules for flying domestic drones Announcing the restrictions, the UK's National Air Traffic Service said they were part of an "overarching security plan" for the visit of Mr Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Drones will be banned from flying over a large part of the capital, extending from Purley in the south to Haringey in the north. Restrictions are in place between Windsor and London on Friday - when the Obamas will have lunch at Windsor Castle. The ban also extends between Stansted Airport and the capital on Thursday night and Sunday morning. The Civil Aviation Authority says drones can usually be flown up to 400ft (122m). However, the regulations ban aircraft from flying below 762m (2,500ft), unless they are using Heathrow, Stansted or London City airports. Aircraft at London Heliport, RAF Northolt, and those being operated by the emergency services are to be excluded. The restrictions also apply to "any small balloon, any kite weighing not more than two kilograms, any small unmanned aircraft and any parachute" in the relevant areas. Similar rules have previously been introduced for high-profile visits and major sporting fixtures, including the London Olympics in 2012 and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Drones were recently banned at American Football's Super Bowl. The Obamas' visit to the UK stay is part of a tour including Saudi Arabia and Germany. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will host the couple on Friday, Kensington Palace has said. The president will also stage a press conference with Prime Minister David Cameron.

Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland led 12-10 with six minutes to go but Gerard Beale scored two tries for the Four Nations champions. Aitken responded with the try of the match and then Brough kicked the extras on a wet night in Cumbria. The result means that England will take on Australia in the final if they beat or draw with the Kangaroos on Sunday. "I'm as proud as anything," said Scotland coach Steve McCormack. "Not only that never-say-die attitude from our lads but just the manner in which we got that result. "We're also a bit disappointed that we didn't win. The players were sensational. We've played against the world's best team tonight with a young team." Brough, who equalled Andrew Henderson's appearance record with his 23rd cap, needed pain-killing injections before and during the match. "I probably shouldn't have played," he said. "I can't put my heel down now. But it was worth it with the effort the boys put in." New Zealand were clear favourites to beat Scotland, who had been thumped by both Australia and England in their first two games. But McCormack's side started brightly and, helped by a string of early penalties, played much of the opening 20 minutes in the opposition's half. The star-studded Kiwis took the lead when right winger David Fusitu'a took an offload from second rower Tohu Harris to score a try on his debut, which Isaac Luke converted to make it 6-0. Wigan winger Lewis Tierney responded for Scotland three minutes later, chasing Lachlan Coote's grubber kick for his first international try. Playing against the wind and rain in the second half, New Zealand extended their lead when Fusitu'a crossed for his second try. But Scotland hit back again, with Ben Hellewell finishing off a fine move after Tierney's scamper down the right. Brough's conversion tied the scores at 10-10 and he then kicked a penalty to put them ahead with six minutes remaining. Beale's tries, which largely came as a result of the sublime handling skills of half-back Shaun Johnson, looked to have won the game for New Zealand. Crucially both conversions were missed - and Scotland hit back to earn a point. "Scotland played well," said Kiwis coach David Kidwell. "They played to the conditions and we got away with the draw. "I thought after we scored that first try, we gave them a bit of hope by trying to offload and they took advantage of it." New Zealand's disappointment was compounded by injury to Wigan-bound stand-off Thomas Leuluai, who came off at 57 minutes clutching his face and was later found to have broken his jaw in two places.

A review by Action on Hearing Loss Cymru found test waiting times at three of the seven health boards were up. Meanwhile, patients in two areas did not always get two hearing aids because of restrictions on the number they give out. The charity said demand would continue to increase given the aging population. Cwm Taf, Hywel Dda and Powys health boards said patients were waiting longer for hearing tests and reassessments because more people needed help. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg and Hywel Dda boards both restrict the number of hearing aids they issue, while Aneurin Bevan and Hwyel Dda said they had reduced follow-up appointments because of pressures. Hwyel Dda also reported reduced staff numbers and reduced aftercare service, at a time when it is planning to reduce its budget for the next year. Action on Hearing Loss Cymru, formerly RNID, supports 1,300 hearing aid wearers across Wales. But the free service, which costs £150,000 a year to run, will be cut in 2016 if funding cannot be found.

The Romanian has only played three times this season, and has not started a game since April 2015. The 23-year-old joined Wednesday on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia in February 2015. The Owls currently sit seventh in the Championship table, one point outside the play-off places. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Stewart Spence used a derogatory term about gay people at The Marcliffe Hotel during a Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT) Scotland event. HIT Scotland said homophobic views and comments were made about the industry and it was "shocking". Mr Spence later said he wanted to "sincerely apologise". He said: "I don't know what I was thinking." A source who was at the dinner said "jaws dropped" at the use of the word "poofs" on Thursday night. It related to a claim of the hotel industry having a history of employing gay or lesbian workers and Mr Spence having not employed any. A spokesperson for HIT Scotland said: "We strongly disagree with the homophobic views and comments expressed by one individual at last night's Grampian fundraising dinner, they were a complete surprise and as shocking as they were inaccurate to the truth of the hospitality industry. "Hospitality is a diverse and inclusive industry, it has consistently led the way on equality and diversity above and beyond any other sector and that is something we take great pride in. "We would like to reassure everyone that his offensive comments were his own and in no way representative of the opinions of HIT Scotland or indeed the hospitality industry as a whole. It was very regretful that he chose an event in aid of the industry to make such unwelcome remarks. "Despite these comments, the event went on to be another successful evening of fundraising for the charity and we want to thank our guests for their continued generosity that helped raise a considerable amount last night." Mr Spence told BBC Scotland in a statement: "I made some very ill-advised comments at the dinner last night and I am absolutely mortified today. "I would like to sincerely apologise for the offence caused. I don't know what I was thinking. "I was hoping to raise a few laughs around the seventies theme and while the words I used may have, regrettably, been commonplace in that generation, they were still entirely unacceptable. "The Marcliffe is an inclusive place both for staff and customers. We welcome everyone regardless of their sexual orientation. "I really regret this and am truly sorry." Catherine Somerville, the campaigns, policy and research manager at Stonewall Scotland - which campaigns for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people's rights - said: "The comments made at last night's event clearly demonstrate that there is a lot of work to be done before all LGBT people can feel safe and included at work, and that LGBT customers are treated fairly and with respect. "It is really positive to see such a strong reaction against these homophobic remarks from HIT Scotland, and we will always offer support to employers across the hospitality sector who want to create more inclusive workplaces for LGBT people." The five-star hotel - a popular venue for wedding receptions and functions - has been at its North Deeside Road venue since 1993.

After landing at La Paz airport, the pontiff spoke of the need to protect the most vulnerable in society from the impact of capitalism. He was greeted by President Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous leader, who gave Francis a ritual pouch with coca - a sacred leaf in the Andes. The Pope flew in from Ecuador. He will also visit Paraguay. At the airport welcome ceremony, the pontiff praised Bolivia - a majority indigenous country - for encouraging the poor to be active citizens. "Bolivia is making important steps towards including broad sectors in the country's economic, social and political life," he said. President Morales is a fan of Pope Francis, who he says shares many of his views on how capitalism leads to social inequalities, BBC regional analyst Candace Piette says. But she says Mr Morales' government has for many years had an uneasy relationship with the Catholic Church. After taking office in 2006, Mr Morales ordered the Bible and cross to be removed from the presidential palace - both symbols of colonial Spanish oppression. A new constitution in 2009 made Bolivia a secular state, and Andean religious rituals replaced Catholic rites at official state ceremonies. President Morales has said he is a Catholic but - like many Bolivians - he believes there is plenty of room for both Christianity and traditional belief. "I remain convinced that we Bolivians have a double religion, double faith," he said in January. But Mr Morales' attitude to the church changed radically when Francis became pope. He visited him twice in Rome and invited him to come to Bolivia, our analyst says. Before leaving for the lowland city of Santa Cruz, Pope Francis visited the site where the body of a Jesuit Bolivian priest was found. The priest was tortured and murdered in 1980 during the military rule for defending the rights of Bolivia's mining community.

About 32,000 people headed to the pop group's show on their Wonderland Tour at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday. The start of the concert was slightly delayed as fans suffered delays into the stadium Swansea Council said roads around the ground will reopen 45 minutes after the end of the show and car parks will close 15 minutes after that.

The chairwoman of Medway Hospitals NHS Trust wrote to candidate Mark Reckless to complain about "misleading" information in his campaign leaflets. Shena Winning said a picture of the trust's acting chief executive with Mr Reckless suggested the NHS backed UKIP. Mr Reckless said the photo showed his support for the hospital. Ms Winning's letter to former Conservative MP Mr Reckless said board directors were "extremely concerned and surprised" to see the picture of him with Dr Phillip Barnes. Ms Winning said the photograph had been taken in September when Mr Reckless was the sitting MP for Rochester. Mr Reckless defected to UKIP on 27 September, triggering a by-election in which 13 candidates are standing. The NHS chairwoman said UKIP did not seek permission to use the photograph and the use of the image was "misleading and out of context". BBC South East's political editor Louise Stewart said problems at Medway Maritime Hospital, which was placed in special measures over a year ago, had become a focus for all parties in the by-election campaign but the issue had now become the focus of a row. Mr Reckless replied to Ms Winning saying the photograph showed his engagement with the hospital as a local MP. "The photograph in no way implies that Dr Barnes supports me in this election or otherwise, senior NHS staff of course being politically neutral. "The text does, however, I hope make clear my support for Dr Barnes and his team at the hospital," he said. Mr Reckless said the leaflet in which the photograph is used had been fully distributed, but he confirmed the photograph would not be used again in any other leaflet ahead of the by-election.

Their bodies were found by a police officer on Tyn-Y-Coed Road in Pentyrch on Tuesday, 27 May, and RSPCA Cymru is investigating. The charity said none of the ponies had microchips or could be identified to an owner. But it hopes a pair of blue Adidas trainers found at the scene will help provide a clue as to who dumped them.

Ollie Carroll, five, suffers from the rare Batten disease and cannot stand by himself but managed to get to his feet to fling his arms around the prince. Ollie's mother, Lucy, said both her son and the prince were "thrilled" to meet. Ollie was among the children recognised at the WellChild Awards, which honour young children and their carers. Several hundred youngsters, parents, carers and celebrity supporters attended the event, at London's Dorchester hotel. The prince is patron of WellChild, which provides specialist care and support for chronically ill children. Ollie, from Poynton, Cheshire, had received the inspirational child award for children aged between four and six. His mother said she was not sure whether he knew who he was hugging or not, but said he had been instinctively drawn to Prince Harry. "He was thrilled - they both were", Lucy said, adding that Prince Harry had been "very privileged". She said Ollie could not stand up by himself but had "used his strength to stand up and hug him". The prince told another child that his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, was "embarrassing all the time". Jessica Davis, 10, received the young hero award for caring for her mother, Paula, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, and her autistic brother, also called William. She gave the prince a drawing of himself and told him her brother was "really embarrassing". She said: "He then said that Prince William was embarrassing all the time." Prince Harry was also presented with a monkey made by eight-year-old Samuel Merrick, who has lung disease. Meanwhile, three-year-old Oscar, whose mother Jill Evans was one of the winners of the special recognition award, asked Prince Harry whether he had "any giraffes in his garden". The prince said he had been left "in awe at the strength of human character, particularly amongst those so young". "Watching these children and young people face challenges with such determination, positivity and of course good humour, never fails to take my breath away," he added.

The former Bradford striker rose above keeper Chris Neal to meet Joe Bunney's cross and nod home. Rochdale looked the more threatening early on and took the lead in the 10th minute when Matty Lund got above Bobby Grant in the six-yard area to meet Donal McDermott's cross with a firm header into the roof of the net. Fleetwood were handed a equaliser in the 23rd minute when Harrison McGahey needlessly fouled Chris Long wide on the left-hand edge of the penalty area, referee Mark Heywood rightly awarding a penalty kick which was duly despatched by former Dale player Grant. Long proved a real pest to the home side for the rest of the half, going close to scoring on two occasions only to see his low drives blocked by Josh Lillis in the home goal. But Davies' header separated the teams after an evenly contested second half. Reports supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Rochdale 2, Fleetwood Town 1.

His first press conferences were held to a backdrop of predictions and projections over whether he could represent England at next autumn's World Cup. On Friday, though, it was all about being in the moment. After two months out with a broken cheekbone and following two cameos off the bench, the 25-year-old made his first start as Bath beat Montpellier 32-12 in the European Rugby Champions Cup. Chev Walker and Barrie-Jon Mather have both made the journey that Burgess is just embarking on - crossing from league to learn the ropes as union centres with Bath, in Walker's case, and Sale and England, in Mather's. As Burgess makes the switch from being the world's best in one sport to complete novice in another, what challenges do they foresee for him? For the 100 years between league breaking away and union finally starting to pay in 1995, the rivalry between the two codes was never friendly. Converts to league were treated with suspicion on arrival in the 13-man game, while a ban from ever returning to union, even as a spectator, ensured codes were only crossed in one direction. But rugby in 2014 is a very different, less divided place. When Burgess came on for the final half hour of Bath's win over Montpellier in France last week, he replaced Kyle Eastmond, formerly of St Helens, and played outside George Ford, whom he once tried to convince to join him at old club Bradford Bulls. One of Burgess's rivals for a spot in England's midfield is Luther Burrell, who played league for Huddersfield Giants as a teenager. Joel Tomkins, now back with Wigan Warriors, was the man in possession of Stuart Lancaster's number 13 jersey a year ago, while Ben Teo'o, who played alongside Burgess for South Sydney just a few months ago, made his union debut for Irish province Leinster in October. As well as familiar league faces, there is genuine enthusiasm about Burgess's arrival from those who have only watched him from across the divide. Australian scrum-half Will Genia, a veteran of more than 50 Tests, could hardly emphasise enough how much he would like the chance to play alongside Burgess, saying it was "most definitely very appealing". "Both games are professional and I think that rivalry between union and league comes from fans more than anything," said Walker, who moved to the Recreation Ground in 2006 from Leeds Rhinos. "The Bath boys welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable from the get-go. It was just a matter of getting in there and introducing yourself. "There was a little initiation on the first away trip - I had to sing a song and I went for Baa Baa Black Sheep. I couldn't think of anything else - they just threw it upon me! "But they made me feel that welcome and part of the boys that I was able to do it with a smile on my face." After Burgess's penultimate match for the Rabbitohs -

Media playback is not supported on this device The Cardiff-born forward, who scored 11 goals in a loan spell at the club in 2010-11, will wear the number 39 shirt. He said his main motivation for joining the Bluebirds was to be able to live at home with his family in Cardiff. "I wanted to wake up every day with my kids," said 33-year-old Bellamy, who has taken a significant cut in wages. "There's more to life than football." Cardiff chief executive Alan Whiteley added: "I am sure that Liverpool will agree that their loss is this football club's gain." Rumours of Bellamy's return were fuelled this week when Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed he had given the Welshman permission to move closer to his family in south Wales. Bellamy played and scored for Great Britain at the Olympics this summer. His talents are well known to the current Bluebirds manager Malky Mackay. "We've known each other our whole careers," said Mackay. "We were together a long time ago at Norwich City. He's a proud lad from the area and he's a top player, a top talent." Cardiff captain Mark Hudson thinks Bellamy can have a positive affect on his side's bid to win promotion to the Premier League. "He's an international and he's been at the top level for a long time," said Hudson, who said Bellamy's influence had been evident during his loan spell at the club. "To be able to work with someone like that was beneficial to everyone that was playing with him at the time," added Hudson. "I learnt a lot from him, the way he conducted himself and went about his day-to-day business. You look at him now, he's a role model." Cardiff have won three of four pre-season friendlies as they prepare for the Capital One Cup first-round tie at Northampton Town on Tuesday. They also face Newcastle United at home on Saturday in their final warm-up match as they attempt to go one better than last season's play-off final defeat. Media playback is not supported on this device "Top two is the main aim for us," said Hudson. "I don't think anyone wants to see us go through the play-offs again. I definitely don't. "But with the squad we've got this year and the way we've gelled over the last 12 to 13 months, as a group we're a lot more solid now." Mackay has also confirmed that defender Darcy Blake is still in his plans for next season, even though the youth team product has not signed a contract extension. "We offered Darcy a contract extension and he's turned that down," said Mackay. "Darcy probably feels he needs first-team football."

Det Chief Insp April Casburn is accused over Operation Varec, which considered whether Scotland Yard's inquiry into phone hacking should be reopened. Prosecutor Mark Bryant-Heron said she "sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation". Ms Casburn denies one charge of misconduct in public office. The charge relates to 11 September 2010 when Ms Casburn, 53, from Hatfield Peverel, Essex, was working in counter-terrorism, managing the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit. Southwark Crown Court heard one of her team had been asked to carry out financial investigations as part of the Scotland Yard inquiry into phone hacking. It is alleged Ms Casburn rang the NoW's news desk at 07.51 BST to offer information in exchange for payment. She gave the names of two of the people under investigation during the conversation, it is said. Mr Bryant-Heron said: "The prosecution says she sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation at the point of its launch. "The prosecution says, and it's a matter for you 12, that the act of telephoning the News of the World to offer to sell information and the provision of some information during that call was misconduct, it was misconduct in public office. "It was a gross breach of the trust that the public places in a police officer not to disclose information on a current investigation in an unauthorised way, or to offer to do so in the future for payment." The newspaper did not publish anything and no payment changed hands, the court heard. Mr Bryant-Heron said Ms Casburn admits making the phonecall but denies asking for money, and says she had a reasonable excuse. She says she was concerned that resources that were supposed to be used to combat terrorism were being allocated to the phone hacking investigation, and that much of the information was already public knowledge. The court heard the call was taken by NoW journalist Tim Wood - who said she refused to give her name, but introduced herself as a senior police officer. Mr Wood told the jury: "The one thing that stands out in my mind is the fact that she kept going on about Lord Prescott. "Her saying that he was pressing for them to put charges on the News of the World, and she was saying that she felt it was wrong that he was interfering in the scandal, so to speak, and she resented that." He added: "She was almost justifying her call by saying that it was this interference by Prescott that had upset her." The detective told him six people were under investigation including former NoW editor Andy Coulson and reporter Sean Hoare, Mr Wood said. The court then heard from Det Supt Christos Kalamatianos who led the 60-strong National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit. He said his relationship with Ms Casburn was "cordial", but she had accused him of failing to support her and the unit on one or two occasions. She broke down in tears in the dock as her

Wing Alex Cuthbert and centre Tyler Morgan also come into the side after Saturday's 28-25 win over England. Matthew Morgan replaces Liam Williams, who has concussion, while Tyler Morgan and Cuthbert are in for Scott Williams and Hallam Amos, who have been ruled out of the tournament with injury. James Hook, called up with Gareth Anscombe as cover, is on the bench. Anscombe does not figure with head coach Warren Gatland saying he was "not 100%". Wales' pack remains unchanged and back-rowers Dan Lydiate and Taulupe Faletau will win their 50th caps. "We have made three changes through injury but go into this game with a strong side," Gatland said. "It is important we build on the success and momentum from last weekend and take that into Thursday." Media playback is not supported on this device Bristol's Matthew Morgan and Newport Gwent Dragons' Tyler Morgan, who was called into the squad as a replacement for the injured Cory Allen, will make their first starts of the tournament. If Wales, who are second in Pool A behind Australia, beat Fiji they will top the group. England, in third, play the Wallabies on Saturday. Although Fiji have lost their opening two games to England and Australia, the Pacific Islanders caused problems for their rivals and remain a powerful side. "Fiji have performed very well in their opening two games and they will be coming to Cardiff looking to build on that themselves," Gatland added.

The Championship side are the subject of a winding-up petition from HM Revenue & Customs. "The publicised investment into the club from a California-based group has unfortunately failed to materialise as promised," a club statement said. "No money whatsoever has been forthcoming in this regard." The Exiles said they had agreed a deal with the group in early September, having avoided liquidation by settling a previous debt with HMRC. In October, an insolvency court granted the Richmond-based side an adjournment on their most recent winding-up order for "a number of weeks". Welsh said then that they were "confident" they would be able to settle the debt, but the Exiles are now carrying out a "full and comprehensive strategic review" of the club's future. "All options are currently on the table," the club statement added. "The club's board are open to approach by any parties or individuals interested in taking London Welsh forward." The Exiles were in the Premiership as recently as 2015, when they were based at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford and finished bottom of the table after losing all 22 games.

He had been taken to the hospital in Paris with an intestinal infection on Friday morning, his wife said. Etaix was best known for films such as Yoyo, and Happy Anniversary which won him an Oscar in 1962. Influenced by his experiences as a circus acrobat and clown, he saw himself as part of a silent movie tradition that went back to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Englishman, 41, had been level with Stephen Hendry on six titles, but moved ahead after coming from 4-1 behind to beat Joe Perry 10-7 in the final. "I am a competitor and I needed to fight until the end," he added. O'Sullivan also said he was "not really into records or the history side of stuff" and the only downside to winning was he did not get to keep the trophy. 'The Rocket' had to repair a broken cue tip during his semi-final against Marco Fu on Saturday, and bit the tip off following his victory over Perry. "Yesterday it played fantastic, today I couldn't do a lot with it, but I managed to hold it together under extreme pressure," he said. "I have never felt so vulnerable because I couldn't play three quarters of the shots I wanted to so I had to hang in there and I'm proud that I was able to do that in such a major tournament." O'Sullivan has won five World and five UK Championship titles to go alongside his Masters victories. It means he is just one behind Hendry's haul of 18 triumphs in Triple Crown events - the Masters, World Championship and UK Championship - and is hungry for more success. "I don't want to stop at seven but to keep enjoying playing," said O'Sullivan. "I am one for enjoying the sport I have played for a long time. "Records are there to be broken, but I am not into this records thing. I am more into the love of the game, competing and if I break a few records on the way then fantastic. That is what I have done all my life." Media playback is not supported on this device The Essex player became the first person to win the Paul Hunter Trophy, which was named after the three-time champion who died of cancer aged 27 in 2006. I just love trophies, especially a beautiful trophy like that However, O'Sullivan pleaded with the sport's governing body to allow him to keep the trophy for good. "When growing up, I was not interested in the money, I was just into the trophies," he said. "World Snooker need to give me a little replica, which I can put on my mantelpiece because looking at trophies is what I enjoy. It motivates you to win more. I just love trophies, especially a beautiful trophy like that." Fellow Englishman Perry was appearing in his first final of a Triple Crown event at the age of 42. He had won just one ranking title in his career and was runner-up on three other occasions. Having taken the lead in the match, a missed final red down the cushion in the sixth frame was "a turning point". Cambridgeshire-born Perry added: "I wasn't happy with how I handled the situation from 4-1 up, I was not composed enough and let him back into the session. Find out how

"It could get worse before it gets better," Warnock said before Cardiff face his former club Huddersfield Town. The Bluebirds are 21st in the table and lost their last two league games before the international break. "I am sure the lads will be doing their utmost now in the next few weeks to take us up the table." Saturday's home game with third-placed Huddersfield is followed by a trip to improving Aston Villa, before title contenders Brighton visit Cardiff City Stadium. "It's a tough run now with the games we have coming up," Warnock said. "But we just have to get on until January now and see what we can do. We don't want it to [get worse], we have to roll our sleeves up. "I am aware of the difficulty of the fixtures we have coming up. I think on our day we can beat anybody." Warnock brought Marouane Chamakh, Sol Bamba, Junior Hoilett and Kieran Richardson to the club in October but is already planning ahead for the January window. He indicated again that the club will be busy during January's transfer window and that he has two or three players on his wish list, with some players set to be moved on. "I think there are two or three needed in the squad to give it different dimensions in the Championship," Warnock added. "I don't think its a massive job. I think the squad needs thinning as well. "Certain players need to be leaving now and finding fresh pastures which enables you to get a few fresher faces in." Warnock has no plans to recall striker Rhys Healey from his loan at League Two Newport, believing the front runner is benefitting from regular football. He said: "If I feel they are good enough, I won't hesitate. I am not saying I won't call him back, but with what we have I feel he is better off getting game time there."

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) announced plans to give almost £2.8m to Levengrove Park in Dumbarton. It will also award nearly £1.5m to Aden Country Park in Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire. Plans for Levengrove include building a new pavilion with a cafe, upgrading play areas and restoring the Victorian park's historic features, such as the original entrance. Eight new jobs will be created at the Dumbarton park - three posts in the pavilion cafe, two apprentice gardeners and three rangers. West Dunbartonshire councillor Patrick McGlinchey said: "It is fantastic that we have secured this significant grant funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to support our restoration of Levengrove Park's historic character and upgrade its amenities. "Once the work is completed Levengrove will be transformed and with its stunning setting on the banks of the Clyde will offer visitors an experience which it will be hard to rival anywhere else in Scotland." The grant for Aden Country Park will be used to restore and upgrade facilities at the 230-acre park. The cash is part of £30.7m the HLF and the Big Lottery Fund is giving to parks across the UK. Lucy Casot, head of HLF in Scotland, said: "A wonderful legacy from our ancestors, public parks are increasingly under threat which makes this investment of National Lottery players' money even more vital."

In a speech on Saturday, the Labour leader will accuse the prime minister of sacrificing "human rights on the altar of the arms trade". Mr Johnson was publicly rebuked by Downing Street after it emerged he had accused Saudi Arabia of "puppeteering". The foreign secretary is due to visit Saudi Arabia over the weekend. He will make a speech in Bahrain later on the first leg of a tour of the Middle East. Mr Johnson's comments about Saudi Arabia, the UK's closest ally in the Middle East, were made at a conference in Italy last week but only emerged after The Guardian newspaper published footage of the event. He said there were politicians in the region who were "twisting and abusing religion and different strains of the same religion in order to further their own political objectives". Citing Saudi Arabia and Iran, he said "the tragedy for me - and that's why you have these proxy wars being fought the whole time in that area - is that there is not strong enough leadership in the countries themselves". Labour leader Mr Corbyn, who has been highly critical of Saudi Arabia's human rights record, said Prime Minister Theresa May should have said more about the matter during her recent visit to the Gulf - where she attended a six-nation summit. On top of its "abysmal" record on human rights, Mr Corbyn will criticise the Saudi Arabia-led bombing campaign in Yemen in support of its government against Houthi rebels. "We have seen the prime minister sacrifice human rights on the altar of the arms trade while Boris Johnson blurts out the reality of the Saudi role in fuelling Middle Eastern proxy wars before heading back to the Gulf once again to apologise," he will say in a speech to mark International Human Rights Day. "When the foreign secretary gets home will he, at last, be brave enough to back Labour's call to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia, weapons that are being used to bombard civilian areas and carry out gross violations of human rights in Yemen?" Analysis By Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent in Bahrain Boris Johnson's comments about Saudi Arabia and Iran running proxy wars and "puppeteering" have not so far triggered any public rebuke from the Saudis or other Gulf governments. The Saudis tell me they are taking the official line on UK policy from Number 10 but they look forward to explaining their position when the foreign secretary arrives in Riyadh this weekend. There is some truth in what Mr Johnson said, depending on which conflict he was referring to. In Syria, both Saudi Arabia and Iran have backed proxy armies, with the Iranians and their Shia militias gaining the upper hand against Sunni rebels. In Iraq and Lebanon militias sponsored by Iran have grown hugely powerful and in Yemen the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels still control much of the country. There, the Saudi-led coalition is fighting a war at the invitation of the UN-recognised Yemeni government, but Mr

Joan Price, 59, died at the scene of the collision on the A77 near Holmston roundabout in Ayr on Monday. Logan Knox, 19, of Girvan, is charged with causing death by dangerous driving while banned from the road and driving without insurance. John Gribben, 18, of Ayr, is charged with causing death by dangerous driving. A 17-year-old man has also been arrested in connection with the incident. Ms Price was driving her red Nissan Pulsar northbound on the A77 when it was involved in the crash with a Volkswagen Golf at about 21:35. She died at the scene, while her 39-year-old female passenger was taken to Ayr Hospital with serious injuries. She was said to be in a stable condition. Police said an Audi A3 car was also spotted close to the scene. Inquiries are continuing to trace one other man in connection with the incident. Neither accused made any plea or declaration. Logan Knox, who is also charged with failing to identify a driver, was remanded in custody at a hearing at Ayr Sheriff Court late on Wednesday. John Gribben was freed on bail. Their cases were continued for further investigation. Tributes have been paid to Ms Price, who was a member of the Dunaskin Doon brass band. A post on the band's facebook page said: "The Dunaskin family are heartbroken and devastated to hear of the passing of our dear friend and fellow band member, Joan Price, following a car accident last night. "Joan was a beautiful soul, inside and out, who always had a kind word and a cheerful smile for everyone. "The band send their deepest condolences to Joan's family as they begin to try and come to terms with their loss." Former colleagues in the Kilmarnock Concert Band said: "We are shocked and saddened by the news of the tragic death of a past band member, Joan Price, last night in a road traffic accident, along with another past band member, Gillian, who is currently in hospital. "The band send their condolences to Colin and the family, and hope that Gillian makes a speedy recovery."

The European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA), based in Canary Wharf in London, employ more than 1,000 staff between them. The Republic of Ireland has offered about €80m (£70m) across a decade to help the EMA relocate to Dublin. Competing against other EU bids, it says a Dublin move would be the least disruptive for the agencies' staff. The Irish application was officially submitted on Monday ahead of a midnight deadline. Cities competing to host EMA Cities competing to host EBA The Irish government has committed to spending €15m (£13.5m) in the first year to help the EMA fit out the selected premises, and an annual contribution of €7m annually for rent and maintenance. The banking and medicines agencies are seen as the first spoils of Brexit by the 27 remaining members of the EU. The Irish government has earmarked three potential locations for the EMA headquarters, two in Dublin's docklands financial district and another by the city's airport. Ireland's economy is likely to suffer damage as a result of Brexit so landing one of the EU agencies would be some compensation. The EMA looks like its best chance with the bid emphasising Ireland's expertise in life science and a proximity to London which could help the agency hold on to key staff. However what could count against it is a previous EU commitment to spread agencies more evenly across the union. Ireland is already home to Eurofound, an EU agency which monitors labour markets. In the EBA bid's brochure, Irish Minister of State for Financial Services says the city offers a "seamless transition as Ireland is English speaking and culturally similar to London and is within the GMT time zone which helps maintain EBA routine option with minimal disruption". There will be fierce competition to attract the agencies' highly skilled employees, their families and the business that comes with them. This includes about 40,000 hotel stays for visitors each year. Each country could bid to host one or both agencies, but was only allowed one bid per agency. European Medicines Agency (EMA) European Banking Authority (EBA) Frankfurt - location of the European Central Bank and a major financial centre - is seen as favourite location for the EBA, but Paris is also keen to win that contest. The European Commission will assess the entries based on the quality of office space, job opportunities for spouses, good "European-oriented" schooling and transport links. Accessibility and efficient infrastructure are the top two agreed criteria. EU leaders agreed on the procedure in June, and a final decision on the relocation will be made in November.

Sharon Edwards, 44, squirted telephone sanitiser liquid on to Mohammed Omar Islam's packed lunch after he disturbed her work in a Birmingham staff canteen. Edwards admitted administering a poison with the intent to injure or annoy, and was given a 26-week suspended jail term at Birmingham Crown Court. Mr Islam suffered no lasting injury. Edwards, from Fentham Road in Aston, said she "saw red" over what her barrister called "a very trivial incident" at an office block in Hagley Road, Birmingham, on 16 February. She had put a chair against a door to prevent entry while she cleaned the room, and became angry when Mr Islam pushed through and put his sandwiches in the fridge. The court heard Mr Islam and Edwards had "a verbal altercation" and called each other "rude" after which Edwards sprayed the sandwiches several times. Her actions were caught on CCTV. Mr Islam, who suffered vomiting, noticed "a strong chemical smell" coming from his lunch, but took a bite anyway. Edwards said she had not meant to hurt the victim but simply spoil his lunch. Judge Francis Laird told Edwards she had committed "an act of spiteful revenge merely to teach her victim a lesson over a perceived slight". Edwards' sentenced was suspended for 12 months.

More than 70 applications were received from university and college students for the competition, which is being run by V&A Dundee. The baby boxes, which go into production in the summer, contain items including bedding and clothing. The winner of the competition will be announced early next year. The Scottish government's baby box scheme, which will cost an estimated £6m per year, is inspired by a Finnish project that has been running since 1938. Students from North East Scotland College, Glasgow School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh College and Edinburgh Napier University have been shortlisted in the competition. The finalists will receive feedback from the judging panel before developing their final submissions. Childcare and Early Years Minister Mark McDonald said: "We want Scotland's baby boxes to become a key and enduring part of the lives of parents and children, so the design needs to be bold and inspirational. "The designs we have seen so far definitely achieve this and I congratulate and thank all the entrants for taking part." The competition brief asked entrants to include an interactive element on the baby box where key stages in the child's first year can be recorded. The winning student will receive a £1,000 prize and mentoring from Scottish designers Holly Fulton and Scott Jarvie. The shortlisted designers are: • Grace Brown, North East Scotland College • Marwa Ebrahim, Glasgow School of Art • Ruth Hamilton, Edinburgh College of Art • Lena Sakura, Edinburgh College • Monika Stachowiak, North East Scotland College • Leanne Young, Edinburgh Napier University

The surprise reversal came despite China's decision earlier to cut its main interest rate to boost growth. It's the sixth consecutive day of falls for US stocks triggered by fears over China's slowing economy. The Dow Jones ended down 1.3% at 15,664.3, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.4% to 1,867. 62 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq losing 0.4% to 4,506.49. Analysts blamed fragile investor confidence for the volatile trading and said continuing fears over China's economy had eventually overruled the initial low values which persuaded investors to buy. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities said investors were confused. "They are trying to figure out what the slowdown in China means to the global economy," he said. Xavier Smith, investment director at Centre Asset Management, said he didn't expect a steady rise in stocks until there was some positive economic data from China. "Only when we see that will the rallies be sustainable," he said. Both the Dow Jones and the S&P are on track for their worst monthly losses in six years. Investors globally are worried that firms and countries that rely on high demand from China - the world's second-largest economy and the second-largest importer of both goods and commercial services - will be affected by the country's slowing growth.

Media playback is not supported on this device O'Sullivan's tournament had been overshadowed by his claims that he had been bullied by snooker bosses. But he seemed unaffected by the controversy as he scored a tournament-high break of 146 to win three from four frames and get back to 11-9, having trailed 10-6. The pair then shared the next two frames and Ding held his nerve, scoring a classy 117 to earn a semi-final place against Mark Selby. Media playback is not supported on this device Selby was in sensational form to thrash Marco Fu 13-3. The reigning champion scored 139 and 143 but it was no surprise the latter mark was beaten by O'Sullivan in a match that featured five centuries and 18 breaks of more than 50. Only one of the 23 frames did not include a half-century. O'Sullivan, 41, who hugged his equally emotional opponent at the end, said: "It was a fantastic match and I am really pleased to be involved. I really enjoyed it. I would rather lose a good match than win an awful one. "Ding is a special lad, a beautiful guy. He is all good; he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. "He wants to win this title so bad. He is in a great place and I wish him all the best." Six-time world champion Steve Davis on BBC Two: In the same way boxers collapse into each other's arms at the end and say, 'you are a great player'. That moment was very similar, regardless of whether it was a physical contest or not, it was the same mentality. For all of the times when Ronnie O'Sullivan throws teddies out of the pram, players appreciate other great players. From Ding Junhui's perspective, getting to the final last year was a massive stepping stone. This is another part of the jigsaw puzzle and unlocks the World Championship a little further for him. Ding has always been clinical in among the balls and he looks very strong in that department, but beating Liang Wenbo from behind, showing heart and determination, and now beating O'Sullivan, he has answered a lot of questions at the Crucible that he has not answered before. It is a bit like a video game for Ding, he has beaten the boss but now has to go to the next level to face a bigger boss - Mark Selby. Facing the world champion will be a bigger hurdle mentally and we cannot say how it will pan out. Selby has looked astonishing so far, if Ding beats him, then he has to play someone great in the final. He is only halfway through in sessions played. Ding, last season's runner-up, is looking to become the first Asian player to lift the world title, and said he "played great". "I kept my form from the first frame to the last frame and I put him under pressure," Ding said. "I do not have a good record against him

Tough to imagine? Not so if you worked for Ghana's Football Association at the 2014 World Cup where their "equipment officer" earned $100,000 (£64,000), according to a government report. In a 396-page report which investigates the Black Stars' first-round exit in Brazil, payment for a role also defined as "ball boy" is highlighted. Ismail Hamidu was the lucky recipient of a sum equal to that earned by individual players, doctors, coaches and manager James Kwesi Appiah. But Ghana's Football Association (GFA) insisted his role as "kit man" was "key" and claim branding him a "ball boy" is "hideously inappropriate". "While the commission is seeking to mock the person, the position or his role in the team, it must be made clear that the payment of the appearance fees to the kit manager was made after government vetted and approved it," said the GFA in a statement. The report also found a fee of $5,263 (£3,345) was paid to Ghana's official drummer. His beat was not enough to help the team beat Portugal in their final group fixture to reach the second round, a match which followed the country's government flying $3m out to South America to settle a pay dispute with players. Two sentences in the Dzamefe Report that perhaps sum up the frustrations and difficulties of Ghana's World Cup campaign are: The report aims to unpick myriad financial issues surrounding Ghana's World Cup campaign, including some payments which could not be verified or accounted for. The African side received $8m (£5m) for their group-stage exit, but spent almost $4m more than that on their campaign from the beginning of qualifying.

'Things can only get better' and 'King Louis is here - United are back' was the message on some of the many scarves and T-shirts on sale outside Old Trafford on Saturday showing United's new boss Louis van Gaal's face as their main design feature. Sadly for the United supporters who saw their side suffer seven home league defeats last season, Swansea would prove those statements to be mostly inaccurate, for now at least. Van Gaal was indeed there, given a rapturous reception for his first competitive game in charge by fans convinced he will bring the glory days back to Old Trafford or, at the very least, back into the Champions League next season. But the optimism of those supporters disappeared during the sort of disappointing display and defeat that became a regular occurrence during David Moyes's year in charge. It was a harsh reminder that, while Moyes has gone, he leaves almost the same team and same problems he struggled with behind. This is a team that finished seventh last season, 22 points behind the champions Manchester City. For all of Van Gaal's impressive track-record, famous self-belief, legendary tactical nous and inspirational man-management skills, he is a football manager not a magician. But several thousand seemed to think otherwise when the 63-year-old Dutchman emerged from the tunnel before kick-off. Van Gaal got a taste of what to expect when he took charge of United at home for the first time in Tuesday's 2-1 friendly win over Valencia, but the Old Trafford regulars ramped up the atmosphere for his first proper game in charge. He had been greeted by a noisy throng of fans when he stepped off the team bus, giving a quick wave of his famous folder by way of hello, but he had little time to take that in. It was different inside the ground, where there were no banners to welcome him, just a wall of noise from about 70,000 home fans who were all on their feet. On his walk along the touchline to the dugout, Van Gaal gave a cheery thumbs up and a wave to the fans nearest to him. Unlike on Tuesday, there was no autograph signing this time - it was time to get down to business - but he did take time to look up and around him to take in his surroundings. He had written in his first programme notes that the greeting he was given before the Valencia game was so good it gave him goosebumps, but the sheer volume of Saturday's reception might just have surprised him again. United's long list of injured and unfit players, as well as summer departures and a shortage of new signings, meant Van Gaal had to turn to youth for his first competitive United line-up. Media playback is not supported on this device Two locally born academy graduates, defender Tyler Blackett and midfielder Jesse Lingard, came into his team so Van Gaal could stick with his favoured 3-5-2 formation.

The Senegalese man, in handcuffs, was eventually deported to Dakar on the flight. The jet took off after police had come on board to stop the protest. The 11 protesters could be fined up to €225,000 (£197,000; $258,000) each for endangering flight safety. The protest delayed both that flight and the return flight from Dakar. Spanish media report that the Barcelona-Dakar flight was delayed by two-and-a-half hours at El Prat airport on Saturday, after all the passengers had been ordered off the plane. When they boarded again, 11 passengers - identified by police as protesters - were not allowed through. A Spanish journalist, Anna Palou, tweeted a video clip showing the protest on the budget airline jet. The clip showed several passengers blocking the aisle and bore the message in Catalan: "We have succeeded! Flight of deportation stopped. Now the authorities are coming to take the person away! Solidarity is our best weapon!" The BBC has approached Vueling for comment on the incident. Italy delays migrant citizenship law The deadly Spanish route attracting migrants to Europe Trying to stop ships rescuing migrants Witnesses quoted by Spanish media said the sympathy protest started on the plane when the Senegalese man, escorted by two border guards, complained loudly about being deported. Lacking any work or residence permit, he had been refused entry to Spain, the Efe news agency reported. The delay meant that the return flight from Dakar had to be postponed to Sunday, forcing Vueling to pay for the overnight accommodation of 176 passengers. The incident prompted anti-deportation activists to rally at Seville airport on Sunday. The activists, from the group Caravana Abriendo Fronteras (Open Borders Caravan), staged a noisy protest in the airport terminal. The numbers of migrants and refugees arriving in Spain from Africa this year have increased compared with the same period (January-July) last year. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says 6,973 had arrived in Spain by sea as of 11 July, compared with 2,476 in the first half of last year. However, far more took the Central Mediterranean route to Italy.

It's a big decision for France to make at a time when there is a lot of change going on in the world of politics, with Donald Trump becoming the new president of the US not very long ago, the UK leaving the European Union (EU) and the UK holding its own general election on 8 June. Find out more about the French election below. There is a different system to choose a leader in France, as the country is ruled in a different way to the UK. France has a president who is the head of state. The president is chosen by adult voters in the country and will stay in the job for five years, before voters get the chance to choose again. A president is only allowed to stay in the job for two lots of five years - or two terms, as it's called. Once French voters have chosen their president, they later vote for members of parliament (MPs) - called députés- to represent them. The president appoints a prime minister, who is head of the government, and the two work closely together with the government to run the country. To begin with, there were 11 people standing in the race to become the next president of France. Now, after a first round of voting, there are just two left for France to choose from - Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. They both have different opinions about how the country should be run. On 23 April, France chose between the original 11 candidates and the top two have now gone through to a second and final round of voting, which will take place on 7 May. If one person had won more than half of the votes during the first round, they would have become the next president, but nobody won that many. In fact, nobody has won more than half the votes to become president after the first round since the current voting system was introduced in the 1960s. This election is unusual because for the first time in modern history, the current president of France - Francois Hollande, who belongs to the Socialist party - is not putting himself forward for a second term in the job. Benoit Hamon was his party's candidate, but he did not win enough votes in the first round of voting to go through. Francois Fillon was the candidate for the Socialist party's main rivals, the Republicans. But his popularity went down as he is being investigated about how some public money may have been spent, so he did not get through to the second round either. Now, for the the first time in decades, France will choose a president who does not belong to one of the country's two main political parties. We do not know exactly what will happen. We will have to wait to see who French voters choose on 7 May. Once the presidential election is out of the way, voters in France will

The owner of the Thomson and First Choice brands said it expected underlying profit growth of at least 10% in the current financial year. Tui reported a 32% rise in net profit to €577.5m ($634.2m; £418.2m) for the year to the end of September. In June, 33 of the 38 tourists killed in Tunisia were on Tui holidays. More recently, flights to the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh were suspended by many countries following an attack on a Russian tourist flight. However, Tui said its upbeat outlook "demonstrates the resilience of our business model, against the backdrop of the tragic events in Tunisia in June 2015 and geopolitical turbulence in some of our other destinations". It added that it had seen a good start to trading for its summer 2016 programme, with bookings from Britain up 11%. Tui's latest update on how much the Tunisia attack had cost it was €52m. Of that, about €26m came from the impact of events there during the year, with another €17m provision against advanced payments the group had made for accommodation in the area that would now not be used.

Behind the glitz and the glamour, there are the unnamed, but certainly not undervalued, mechanics. They are the sport's unsung heroes. Often working 18-hour days and away from their families for months at a time every year, theirs is a demanding existence. If they are not sweating profusely in searing temperatures changing tyres, they are furiously working through the night to rebuild a technically complex Formula 1 car after a driver has thrown it into the barriers. And danger is also never far away, with mechanics putting their lives on the line every race weekend, as this year's Spanish Grand Prix highlighted. There, only the quick feet of the McLaren jackman averted a collision when Fernando Alonso's brakes failed as he entered his pit box. Further down the pit lane, however, a Lotus mechanic was less fortunate. Romain Grosjean was unable to stop on a slippery surface and he clattered into the front jackman, pitching him into the air. Fortunately, he was unhurt, save for needing an ice pack to nurse a sensitive part of his body that had taken the full force of the handle of the jack he was holding. In a sport where every second counts, mistakes are impressively rare. For keeping the cogs of the F1 machine turning smoothly, mechanics are the stars of this, and any other season.

More than 120 people were injured in the explosion at the Erawan shrine, a Hindu tourist hotspot also frequented by Buddhists. Authorities have been releasing details of those confirmed to have been killed or injured, while Asian media outlets have revealed more about those who died, more than half of whom were foreigners. Suwan Sathman, 30, worked for a foundation that manages the Erawan shrine. He was killed in the blast. His family members told Thai media that he had a six-year-old son and had been planning to marry his fiancee soon. "They [the bombers] have total disregard for victims' families. This is murdering innocent people. Suwan has worked hard to take care of his family," Mr Sathman's mother told the Bangkok Post. Other Thai victims include: Yutthanarong Singror, 44, who was on his way to deliver documents when the blast happened; Standard Chartered bank employee Suchada Niseeda, 32; and Namouy Sangchan, 30. Chinese state media has reported that as of Tuesday evening, six Chinese citizens had died - four from mainland China, the other two from Hong Kong. Twenty-two Chinese nationals were also among the injured. The UK Foreign Office said a British national resident in Hong Kong was among the dead, with Prime Minister David Cameron saying on Twitter he was "deeply saddened" to hear of her death. That person has been named as 19-year-old law student and food blogger Vivian Chan. She graduated from Harrow International School in Hong Kong in 2014. The school said in a statement that she was a "tremendous role model". The South China Morning Post said she was a fan of Hong Kong singer Joey Yung, whom she met in 2014. Ms Yung posted a picture of herself with Ms Chan on her Facebook page and said: "I'm very sad at this moment, she left such a deep impression on me." Pontakorn Urapeepatanapong, who went to school with Ms Chan, told the BBC: "[She was] very easy to like. Everyone got on well with her. She'd always have a smile. You'd think she was happy about everything." Ms Chan was travelling with Hong Kong resident Arcadia Pang, 24, who also died. Ms Pang had studied human resource management at the Institute of Vocational Education in Hong Kong. A friend of hers told the Post that she was "very gentle and quiet". Authorities have confirmed four Malaysians were killed, and three were injured. Malaysian press reports said the dead were all from the same family. They are: Lee Tze Siang, 35, and his four-year-old daughter Lee Jing Xuan; as well as Lim Saw Gek, 49, and 20-year-old university Neoh Jai Jun. The Star said they came from a family well-known in their hometown of Butterworth for their kueh (traditional cakes) business. One Singaporean woman was killed and seven other Singaporeans were injured, the foreign ministry said in a statement to parliament. Sources confirmed the dead woman to be 34-year-old Melisa Liu Rui Chun, who worked for the Singapore branch of French insurance company

Rochester and Strood was won by Conservative candidate Kelly Tolhurst with a majority of more than 7,000. In November, Mr Reckless fought a by-election in the constituency, beating Ms Tolhurst. Mr Farage has resigned as party leader following his defeat in South Thanet. The Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay took the South Thanet seat with a majority of 2,812. He said: "I'm delighted. I've given promises on Manston Airport and we're working, leaving no stone unturned, to make sure it opens. "I've got a fairly unique plan for the regeneration of Ramsgate." Mr Mackinlay, a former UKIP leader and Medway councillor, takes over the seat from Laura Sandys, who stood down as Conservative MP at the election. Mr Reckless, who held the seat at a by-election after defecting from the Conservatives to UKIP, said: "I always knew what I was doing was a risk but nobody should underestimate UKIP's achievement. "I am proud to have been a part of that and to have represented the people of Rochester and Strood for the past five years." The BBC's political correspondent, Ellie Price tweeted; "Mark Reckless tells new Rochester & Strood MP Kelly Tolhurst: 'Never ever forget who your bosses are.'" Labour came third with just over 10,000 votes, while the Lib Dems came fifth to the Green Party with 1,251 votes. The Conservatives have held Chatham and Aylesford, with Tracey Crouch retaining her seat, with a share of just over 50% of the votes. Conservative Roger Gale has kept his Thanet North seat with a majority of almost 11,000 over the UKIP candidate Piers Wauchope. Rehman Chishti has retained his seat in Gillingham and Rainham for the Conservatives, with a majority of more than 10,000 votes.

The airline posted a better-than-expected operating profit of €816m (£613m), compared with a €129m loss for 2014. The results sent shares up more than 10% to €8.22 in late trading in Paris. However, the company warned that lower ticket prices would erode the benefits of cheaper fuel this year. "The global context in 2016 remains highly uncertain regarding fuel prices, the continuation of the overcapacity situation on several markets, and the geopolitical and economic context in which we operate," Air France-KLM said. Cheaper oil reduced the annual fuel bill by 6.7% to €6.18bn, with a 20% fall in the fourth quarter, although existing hedging contracts limited some of the savings. The November terror attacks in Paris cut revenue by an estimated €120m in the fourth quarter as tourists stayed away from the French capital. Despite the attacks, revenue for the three months to 31 December rose 2.2% to €6.3bn. The airline is cutting labour costs and restructuring its network to compete with fast-growing Gulf airlines and European low-cost carriers. Air France-KLM lowered net debt by €1.1bn to €4.3bn and pledged to reduce the figure further this year. Chief executive Alexandre de Juniac said the company continued to negotiate new agreements with staff to improve its competitiveness. Last year, the airline was embroiled in often bitter talks with staff as it sought to impose its "Perform 2020" growth plan. In October, six workers were arrested after staff ripped off executives' shirts in an angry protest over 2,900 planned redundancies. That figure was later revised down to 1,600 voluntary departures by the end of 2017, union officials said. Air France-KLM pays 30% of overall revenue in wages, compared with 24% for Lufthansa and about 12% for a budget airline such as Ryanair.

The boy, from KidStuff nursery in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, was taken on an outing to the zoo last week. The Metropolitan Police said it received a report of a missing child shortly before 15:00 BST on Wednesday. While at the zoo he became separated from his carer but was reunited with his mother at 16:20 BST the same day, police said. KidStuff said the matter was being handled by lawyers. A staff member added: "Until all investigations have been completed we are not at liberty to issue any statement at this time." London Zoo said a visitor had alerted staff to an unaccompanied child in its grounds. A spokeswoman said: "Staff accompanied the child to the meeting point for lost children, where they then followed procedures to reunite them with their family."

Seven fire crews were called to Stadium House on Park Street at 15:35 GMT on Thursday. Jennie Griffiths, head of control at South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, tweeted that crews tackled a blaze on the 15th floor. The accidental fire at the BT-owned building was out by 17:00. No-one was injured. A BT spokesman said: "We can confirm that Stadium House in Cardiff was temporarily evacuated following a minor electrical fire on the 15th floor. "The fire has been extinguished and no services to customers have been affected."

2 May 2016 Last updated at 17:15 BST The controversial move is designed to keep housing affordable for local residents. Thousands of landlords let out spare rooms or entire apartments on apps such as Airbnb, Wimdu and 9Flats. Often landlords seek to fill a short-term vacancy and earn some additional money, but it has proved profitable for people to rent out entire apartments to tourists all year round. But critics warn that the practice reduces an already limited supply of rental property and drives up rent for local tenants. From 1 May, a new law known as Zweckentfremdungsverbot - prohibition of improper use - will take effect. The law, which allows homeowners to rent out only spare rooms rather than entire homes, was passed in 2014 but included a two-year transition period that has now elapsed. Andreas Geisel, Berlin's head of urban development said it was "a necessary and sensible instrument against the housing shortage in Berlin." Those caught breaking the new law could be fined up to 100,000 euros (£78,500). However, critics say the law serves the hotel industry rather than residents.

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) plans to move out of the 19th Century Inverness Castle to the new building by the summer of 2018. Work on the site next to Burnett Road Police Station could start this year. The castle in Inverness city centre is to be transformed into a visitor attraction. It could accommodate a museum and an art gallery. SCTS said the Inverness Justice Centre would accommodate courts and tribunals and also provide support services for witnesses, victims, accused and those convicted in courts. The Scottish government is backing the project and the plans to turn Inverness Castle into a tourist site. Sheriff Principal Derek Pyle described the proposed new justice centre as an important development for SCTS. He said: "We have an exciting opportunity to create a pioneering, state-of-the-art justice centre, which will house justice partners and third sector organisations in the same building. "It will deliver a range of services for offenders, providing the environment for problem solving approaches to help reduce re-offending, and offer specialist facilities, support and advice for victims and witnesses of domestic abuse, sexual violence and child abuse." Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "I am delighted that the development of the new Inverness Justice Centre, made possible with funding from the Scottish government, has taken a step forward today. "We are now closer to delivering a facility which is accessible and modern, supporting the delivery of justice in the north of Scotland." The sandstone Inverness Castle was built in 1836 to plans drawn by architect William Burn. It was constructed on a mound overlooking the city and the River Ness. In 1848, a building known as the North Block was added and served as a prison. But a castle had occupied the site from possibly as far back as the 11th Century. Over the centuries, the fortification fell under the control of the forces of Edward I, Robert the Bruce and James I, II and IV. In 1562, it was attacked and damaged by soldiers loyal to Mary, Queen of Scots, before it was almost destroyed by Royalist troops in the 1600s. Bonnie Prince Charlie's forces blew the castle up in 1746 to prevent it from falling into the hands of government troops. It was said that a French sergeant, who had brought his poodle with him to Scotland, set off the explosives. The soldier was caught in the blast, and his body was blown across to the opposite side of the River Ness. His dog was also hurled over the river by the explosion. It survived, though it lost its tail. Tourism Minister and co-chairman of the Inverness Castle Working Group, Fergus Ewing said relocation of court services from Inverness Castle offered an opportunity to develop a "world-class tourism attraction". "Tourism is not just a key part of the local economy but a key driver of growth across Scotland and I am very keen that the castle finds a new life that benefits the Highlands and Scotland as a

The brutal regime, in power from 1975-1979, claimed the lives of up to two million people. Under the Marxist leader Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge tried to take Cambodia back to the Middle Ages, forcing millions of people from the cities to work on communal farms in the countryside. But this dramatic attempt at social engineering had a terrible cost. Whole families died from execution, starvation, disease and overwork. The Khmer Rouge had its origins in the 1960s, as the armed wing of the Communist Party of Kampuchea - the name the Communists used for Cambodia. Based in remote jungle and mountain areas in the north-east of the country, the group initially made little headway. But after a right-wing military coup toppled head of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk in 1970, the Khmer Rouge entered into a political coalition with him and began to attract increasing support. In a civil war that continued for nearly five years, it gradually increased its control in the countryside. Khmer Rouge forces finally took over the capital, Phnom Penh, and therefore the nation as a whole in 1975. During his time in the remote north-east, Pol Pot had been influenced by the surrounding hill tribes, who were self-sufficient in their communal living, had no use for money and were "untainted" by Buddhism. When he came to power, he and his henchmen quickly set about transforming Cambodia - now re-named Kampuchea - into what they hoped would be an agrarian utopia. Declaring that the nation would start again at "Year Zero", Pol Pot isolated his people from the rest of the world and set about emptying the cities, abolishing money, private property and religion, and setting up rural collectives. Anyone thought to be an intellectual of any sort was killed. Often people were condemned for wearing glasses or knowing a foreign language. Hundreds of thousands of the educated middle-classes were tortured and executed in special centres. The most notorious of these centres was the S-21 jail in Phnom Penh, Tuol Sleng, where as many as 17,000 men, women and children were imprisoned during the regime's four years in power. Hundreds of thousands of others died from disease, starvation or exhaustion as members of the Khmer Rouge - often just teenagers themselves - forced people to do back-breaking work. The Khmer Rouge government was finally overthrown in 1979 by invading Vietnamese troops, after a series of violent border confrontations. The higher echelons of the party retreated to remote areas of the country, where they remained active for a while but gradually became less and less powerful. In the years that followed, as Cambodia began the process of reopening to the international community, the full horrors of the regime became apparent. Survivors told their stories to shocked audiences, and in the 1980s the Hollywood movie The Killing Fields brought the plight of the Khmer Rouge victims to worldwide attention. Pol Pot was denounced by his former comrades in a show trial in July 1997, and sentenced to house

Europe Minister David Lidington was in Edinburgh for talks with his Scottish government counterpart Fiona Hyslop. He said there was a "clear legal position" that "we have to leave the EU". First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said ruling out any options for Scotland would be "seriously premature". Voters in Scotland backed remaining in the European Union by 62% to 38%, while the UK as a whole voted 52% to leave in a referendum on 23 June. The Scottish government has pledged to study all possible options for the future - one could include a special deal allowing Scotland to retain access to the EU, another could be a second independence referendum. Asked if there was a way Scotland could remain in the EU, Mr Lidington said: "The legal position is very clear, we have to leave the EU, before you can apply to be a member again, and the Spanish government has made it very clear that they don't see this as a prospect. "The important thing is that the Scottish government works very closely with the UK government to get the very best possible deal for Scotland and its people in the forthcoming negotiations." When asked if Scotland's future relationship with the EU would be from the outside, he replied "yes". Mr Lidington added: "I'm very sad about the result, but it has to be respected." Ms Sturgeon said she would not read too much into Mr Lidington's comments, adding that there might not even be a Europe minister when the new UK government is set up following the Tory leadership contest. The first minister said she remained of "the very firm view that Scotland voted to remain in the EU", and that her job was to make sure all options were considered to "achieve that outcome". She said: "For anyone to rule out these options before they've been considered is seriously premature. "We have no sense of how things are going to move forward. The complete lack of planning [from the UK government] has been exposed over the last few days. "The fundamental point is that Scotland didn't vote to leave the EU. Scotland voted to stay in the EU and that should be our starting point of principle." The first minister later tweeted BBC Scotland business and economics editor Douglas Fraser to underline her view that the legal position on Scotland remaining in the EU remains to be clarified. Mr Lidington also met members of the first minister's Standing Council on Europe, as well as Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson. Ms Davidson said she had stressed the importance of the European single market to Scotland's economy, and the "over-riding priority" to retain access to it. She added: "We both agreed that it is vital for the voice of Scotland to be heard in these talks, and that the Scottish government should be involved at all stages of the negotiations. "Protecting our trade with the European Union will boost our economy, sustain jobs and help to fund vital public

The firm, which employs more than 2,000 people across Norfolk and Suffolk, emailed staff saying the company's owner had appointed advisers to check out prospective buyers. It said the poultry firm had experienced "disappointing results" over the past year. The company was bought by Rutland Partners in 2013. In the email to staff, Rutland Partners' executive chairman Alan Jamieson said consultants PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) had been appointed to look at possible buyers. He wrote: "This does not affect the internal operation of the business. Neither does it reduce in any way Rutland's support for the BM management team as it continues to strengthen and improve the business following the disappointing results achieved over the last year or so." The company, which has its head office at Great Witchingham, Norfolk, had a difficult time with an outbreak of bird flu at its factory at Holton in Suffolk in 2007. It also faced problems with the the soaring cost of turkey feed in 2011. Rutland Partners said it would not comment "at this time". Steve Harley, regional officer for Unite, which represents about 400 Bernard Matthews employees, said: "I'm disappointed that the company has not seen fit to inform the union directly." The firm Bernard Matthews was named after its founder, who died aged 80 in 2010. The multi-millionaire, famous for his "bootiful" catchphrase, began his rise to prominence in 1950 when he bought 20 turkey eggs and an incubator at a market in Acle.

Donna Nook, on the Lincolnshire coast, now accounts for 1.5% of the world's grey seal population, with 90 more pups born this year than last. In 2011 and 2013, dozens of youngsters died when tidal surges hit the coast but the colony has otherwise enjoyed record growth every year. About 70,000 people flocked to the area to see the seals this year. 1,889 grey seal pups born at Donna Nook Nature Reserve in 2015 1,798 pups born at the reserve in 2014 40% of the worlds population of grey seals are in the UK 1.5% of the worlds population of grey seals are in Lincolnshire 70,000 human visitors to Donna Nook in 2015 Rachel Shaw, from Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, said: "The birth-rate has gone up every year with the number of pups born. The rate of increase is not as high as in the past but it is still growing. "The pups have quite a low mortality rate and a lot of the pups will come back to the place there they were born when they are ready to give birth." The seals spend most of the year at sea or on distant sandbanks but in November and December they come ashore to give birth. After suckling their pups for two to three weeks, the seals abandon the young, mate again ready for the following year and then head out to sea again. Eventually, starvation drives the young seals into the water in the hunt for food.

The ban follows other restrictive measures imposed by Russia and Ukraine on each other since Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. They have barred each other's main TV channels on their territory. Ukraine has blacklisted 83 cultural figures, most of them Russian, whom it considers a national security threat. Those on the list - barred from visiting Ukraine - mostly support Russia's annexation of Crimea and the pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine. The list includes film directors Karen Shakhnazarov and Pavel Lungin and the actors Vasily Lanovoi, Valentin Gaft and Oleg Tabakov, Russia's Tass news agency reports. The cultural tit-for-tat war has escalated during the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists control much of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Ukraine accuses Russia of waging a propaganda war against it, and of helping the rebels with heavy weapons and professional soldiers. Moscow denies that, but says some Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels. The international security organisation OSCE says there are many daily violations of the Minsk ceasefire accord by both sides. Ambassador Martin Sajdik, an OSCE special representative, spoke of 4,700 violations in just 24 hours, including deployments of heavy weapons that should have been stored. Russian is widely spoken in Ukraine - not just in the east - and millions of Ukrainians have ethnic Russian relatives. There was a shared culture in Soviet times, before 1991, and most Soviet-era films can still be shown in Ukraine. Similarly, Russia has banned many Ukrainian performers. That blacklist includes many Ukrainian pop and rock stars popular in Russia, BBC Ukraine specialist Olexiy Solohubenko reports. Last August, a Russian court jailed Ukrainian film-maker Oleg Sentsov for 20 years for plotting terrorist acts in Crimea. He pleaded not guilty. The new ban on Russian films was signed into law by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Wednesday. It also includes any Russian films made since 1991 that "glorify the work of [Russian] government bodies". It widens an existing Ukrainian ban on Russian films and TV series that, in Kiev's view, positively portray Russian secret police or other security forces. Dozens of Russian books are also on a Ukrainian blacklist, because they are perceived to contain Russian nationalist messages. Wide-ranging tit-for-tat trade embargos are also costing both countries billions of dollars. Ukraine has stopped exporting arms and military components to Russia and no longer buys gas from Gazprom. Russia and Ukraine have hit each other with food import bans, including dairy produce and vegetables.

"I hear objections," Havel, a former dissident playwright wrote. "Politicians must be elected; people vote for those who think the way they do." But, he argued eloquently, a politician "should also seek to win people over to his own ideas, even when unpopular." Politics must "entail convincing voters that the politician recognises or comprehends some things better than they do, and that it is for this reason that they should vote for him". I don't know whether Arvind Kejriwal, leader of India's anti-corruption Aam Admi Party (AAP), would agree with Mr Havel. But many believe that Monday's midnight expulsion of four senior members of the party, including founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, marks the retreat of "intellectual politics" and dissent in a party which rode to power in the capital, Delhi, promising an invigorating narrative of corruption-free, democratic politics. Mr Yadav is a leading psephologist and political scientist, while Mr Bhushan is a well-respected lawyer. Anand Kumar, another senior member who was also expelled, is a sociologist. They believe that a cult of personality has grown around Mr Kejriwal, and according to Mr Bhushan, the "dreams of a movement have been shattered by a small coterie and a dictator". Arun Kumar, a Delhi-based economist and a party supporter, regrets that the "intellectual climate and democratic culture on which the party was founded is gradually diminishing. It seems real intellectuals are posing insecurity to Arvind Kejriwal". On the other hand, analysts like Ajaz Ashraf believe that the rebellion in the AAP also arose from "intellectual hubris and a sense of entitlement arising from class superiority" of the rebels. It isn't a coincidence, he says, that three of the national quartet of rebels were academicians. The jury is out on whether intellectuals make for good politicians. Gary Gutting, a professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame in the US, has written that "good politicians need not be intellectuals, but they should have intellectual lives". India has a long history of intellectuals as top notch politicians: Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, Ram Manohar Lohia, C Rajagopalachari, Abul Kalam Azad. But, as sociologist Shiv Visvanathan says, India - and its politics - has been "de-intellectualised" over the years. "We have experts and we have policy makers. But apart from one exception - political psychologist Ashis Nandy - we don't have any public intellectuals. There is no real intellectual dissent in India any longer." Politics, he says, has been further debased by elected politicians with criminal records. What has happened with the AAP, Shiv Visvanathan says, is the "banalisation of politics". A party which promised to accommodate a diversity of opinion had to get rid of some of its star dissenters. That is what many here see as the real tragedy.

Night after night we would stand in the press gallery of the House of Commons at 10pm and watch as this MP and his small band of brothers tested John Major's dwindling majority to destruction as they opposed the Maastricht and other treaties. In later years he carved a more lonely furrow, banging on about Europe when the rest of Parliament had moved on. As a member and then chairman of various committees, he has spent years scrutinising the detail of legislation pouring in from Brussels while other MPs lost interest. To his opponents, he is a Eurosceptic bore who would blame the European Union for the weather if he could. To his friends, he is an heroic obsessive, the Eurosceptic conscience of the Conservatives who holds each and every Tory leader to account. And yet so Eurosceptic has the Conservative party become that Bill Cash is now considered to be in the party's mainstream. And that is not my judgement but David Cameron's. In a programme about the rise of Euroscepticism on BBC Radio 4 on Monday at 20:00 GMT, Mr Cash tells me of a recent encounter with the prime minister where they were discussing his promise of a referendum on Britain's membership of the Europe Union. He says: "David Cameron actually said to me in a meeting I had with him a few weeks ago, 'Bill, you're mainstream'." For me, that comment illustrates better than any other the change that has come upon the Conservative Party over the last decade in which Euroscepticism has grown from a minority sport to a wider political force. Where once there was a battle between Tory Eurosceptics and pro Europeans, most Conservative MPs would now say they were Eurosceptic in some shape or form. Where once Tory associations pushed their MPs to be more hostile to Europe, many have now had the chance to choose more Eurosceptic candidates. And where once Conservative Eurosceptics defected to UKIP, there is now traffic the other way as the high profile defection of one of UKIP's MEPs, Marta Andreasen, proved last week. But it is not just the Conservative Party that has changed. The rest of the body politic has become more accustomed to Euroscepticism. Think of it - a serving British prime minister has promised an in out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU, opening the door to Britain taking powers back from Brussels or leaving the European Union altogether. And yet the sky did not fall in, the pound remained steady and the continental upper lip stayed admirably stiff. The same promise 10 years ago would have provoked uproar in the House of Commons, spooked the financial markets and dismayed the rest of Europe. The question is why? Tonight in This Eurosceptic Isle, I try to draw together a few answers. In no particular order, these are just some of the themes that emerge: the selection of more Eurosceptic Tory MPs; the growth of UKIP as the anti-politics vote leaves a pro-European

The charity Missing People wants to raise awareness of the disappearances of Megan Roberts, from Wetherby, West Yorkshire, and Ed Machin, from York. Miss Roberts, 20, went missing in York on 23 January. Police say it is likely she fell into the River Ouse. Mr Machin, 39, was last seen on the same day in Bempton, East Yorkshire. Their disappearances are not connected. Fans at the League Two match between York City and Cheltenham Town were also reminded of the search for York chef Claudia Lawrence. Miss Lawrence was last seen on 18 March 2009, when she was aged 35. Detectives believe she was murdered. Martin Crosby, from Missing People, said: "When someone you love goes missing you want the whole world to stop and join the search. "Sharing these appeals is one of the key ways fans and the public can support the search for Megan, Claudia and Edward, whose family and friends are pleased to work on this with York City FC, as a club at the centre of the community." Miss Roberts, who is studying at York St John University, was last seen near to Lendal Bridge which crosses the River Ouse. North Yorkshire Police have said the "strongest and most probable line of inquiry being pursued by police is that Megan, affected by alcohol, has entered the river". Mr Machin was last seen in Bempton, near Bridlington, after he was dropped off by a taxi outside the White Horse Inn. Miss Lawrence's father Peter was expected to attend the event. He said: "It is distressing to have both Edward and Megan missing in York along with Claudia and my thoughts are with their families and friends. "I would encourage as many people as possible to help the charity by volunteering, sharing the appeals and by signing up to receive alerts at the game on Saturday."

Dover striker Ricky Modeste tested Rory Watson's reactions early on after his third-minute strike hit a post, but the North Ferriby goalkeeper was quickest to the rebound. Chris Kinnear's side finally got their breakthrough 11 minutes before the interval, with Moses Emmanuel profiting from Ross Lafayette's unselfish cross in the box to score his first goal for The Whites. Lafayette got his reward in the 75th minute as he pounced on a defensive mix up to curl it in and wrap up the win for Dover. Report supplied by the Press Association.

The 31-year-old, who began his career at West Ham and later joined Sunderland for £8m, was a free agent after leaving Reading earlier this summer. Ferdinand could make his Southend debut in Tuesday's Checkatrade Trophy game against Brighton. "I'm hoping to play regularly and prove to people I can still play in English football at this level and at a higher level," he told the club website.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 2004 champion fell three times on court number two and required lengthy treatment on her hip in the second set. At one point Sharapova complained to the umpire that the court was dangerous but after the match she refused to use this as an excuse for her defeat. "Those conditions are there for my opponent, I just took a lot more falls than she did," said Sharapova. "I've seen a lot of players fall and take a few hits and a few injuries. So I think that's just part of the game, part of what we have to deal with. "I don't think I've ever fallen three times in a match before in my career, so that was a little strange. "But that's certainly not an excuse. I give her a lot of credit, she played extremely well today. She was really solid from the baseline. "I don't feel like I was aggressive enough. I wasn't ready after the returns or the serves. She's someone that plays extremely aggressive. I just wasn't there." Portugal's De Brito, 20, suggested the court was slippery because there was cut grass sitting on the surface. "The dead grass hasn't been swept off so it's made it quite slippery," said the 20-year-old, who has reached the third round for the first time. "I just tried to stay calm. I was playing so well. I was just trying to hang on in there and gave it my all and went for it." Number 12 seed Ana Ivanovic is also out, losing 6-3 6-3 to 2012 junior champion Eugenie Bouchard. The match was moved from an outside court to Centre after Victoria Azarenka pulled out through injury. The 19-year-old world number 66 broke Ivanovic five times in a match lasting only 63 minutes. "We found out (about playing on Centre Court) 15 minutes before going on," said Bouchard. "It was crazy and great to play before this crowd." Ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki also suffered a surprise defest as she fell 6-2 6-2 to Czech Petra Cetkovska. In what was only her third tournament since four months out with a stress fracture of her foot, world number 186 Cetkovska comfortably saw off the Dane in just 75 minutes. Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain is Bouchard's next opponent before a potential fourth-round meeting with former champion Petra Kvitova. Navarro, who is the 19th seed, recovered after losing the first set to beat Croatian Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 1-6 6-3 6-3. Monica Puig, who knocked out fifth seed Sara Errani, is through to the third round after she beat Silvia Soler-Espinosa of Spain 6-2 5-7 6-4. Kvitova advanced without hitting a ball after her opponent Yaroslava Shvedova pulled out with an arm injury. The Kazakh became the seventh player to withdraw through injury on Wednesday. Victoria Azarenka, the Belrussian second seed, was among the casualties, handing a walkover to Italy's Flavia Pennetta as she failed to recover from a knee injury sustained in

The 39-year-old played 102 NRL games for the Tigers between 2004 and 2008, helping them win the 2005 Premiership. "It's a good fit for him as a bloke and it's the right thing to do," head coach Denis Betts told BBC Radio Merseyside. "He's done a fantastic job here and it's been an honour working with him." Meanwhile, Betts confirmed hooker Aaron Heremaia could be out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in their defeat by Wakefield. "It's a real blow for us. He's hit his knee which is probably a 10 to 12-week injury which is not good for us as he's one of the leaders and strong members of our group," he said.

The largest and most controversial of these is Bagram jail, which holds 3,000 detainees, including terror suspects. Under the deal the US will cede control of Bagram over six months. Reports say they will retain access and be able to block the release of certain detainees. Handing over US-run jails has been a key demand of Afghan President Hamid Karzai ahead of Nato's withdrawal. Analysts say the issue has cast a shadow over negotiations on Nato's withdrawal of all of its combat forces by the end of 2014 and the long-term relationship with Afghanistan. Bagram prison, officially known as the Parwan Detention Centre, is located in one of the largest military bases for Nato-led forces in Afghanistan. It has been at the centre of a number of prisoner abuse allegations in recent years. Nato is also under intense pressure after days of protests and targeted killings across Afghanistan - over the inadvertent burning of Korans at Bagram - left at least 30 people dead. The US repeatedly apologised over the incident but that failed to quell public anger. Correspondents say the deal is the first stage of a mechanism which is still being worked out but will eventually see US-run jails handed over to full Afghan control. By Bilal SarwaryBBC News, Kabul US military officials in Kabul told the media that the Afghan government would take charge of about 500 prisoners at the detention centre within 45 days. There are some 3,000 Afghan and 50 non-Afghan prisoners there. US mentors will continue to provide a logistical support role to their Afghan counterparts. But observers say serious concerns remain over the Afghan government's ability to secure its prisons. They cite two major jail breaks in Kandahar last year, which resulted in the escape of hundreds of Taliban leaders and commanders. Analysts say rampant corruption in the government, poor training and low morale in the security forces have made the task of securing prisons even more difficult. Along with night raids, the transfer of detention facilities has been a major stumbling block in negotiations. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the US and Afghanistan comes after the US missed a deadline Mr Karzai set in January to hand over such jails. He then gave the US another month to reach an agreement - that deadline was set to expire on 10 March. On signing the agreement, Gen John Allen, Nato's commander in Afghanistan lauded it as " yet another example of the progress of transition". Under the terms of the agreement, the US would provide support and advice to the Afghan commander at Bagram for up to a year. "This MOU illustrates our commitment to Afghan sovereignty, our mutual obligations under international law, and our enduring partnership," a statement released by the US embassy reads. "We have had our challenges and there will be challenges ahead as we continue negotiation on the framework for our strategic partnership, but this MOU marks an important step forward," it says. The US has previously

Russia will apply new tariffs to Ukrainian exports from 1 January, when the free trade deal takes effect. Earlier Russia announced a ban on imported Ukrainian food - also from 1 January - because Ukraine blacklisted many Russian banks, defence firms and airlines, in line with EU sanctions. Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 triggered wide-ranging EU sanctions. The EU has decided to extend the sanctions for another six months - until mid-2016 - because the Minsk peace deal, aimed at settling the eastern Ukraine conflict, will not be fulfilled as was envisaged by the end of this month. The sanctions were ratcheted up after pro-Russian separatists seized a large swathe of eastern Ukraine and declared independence from Kiev in 2014. Russia has sent heavy weapons and troops to help them, Western leaders say - something that Moscow denies. The US and some other Western countries also imposed sanctions on Russia, which retaliated by banning most imported Western food and drink. Separately, the Russian government said on Monday it would take legal action over Ukraine's failure to repay a $3bn (£2bn) debt. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said Russia had refused to restructure the debt, unlike other foreign bondholders who had done so. He also called the debt - incurred in December 2013 - a "political bribe" from Moscow to former President Viktor Yanukovych, who was facing mass street protests at the time. Mr Yanukovych fled to Russia in February 2014. Russia argues that the EU-Ukraine Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) threatens to turn Ukraine into a backdoor for cheap EU exports to Russia. So it is scrapping its preferential terms for Ukrainian exporters. Russia says it has tried unsuccessfully to reach agreement on the issue "peacefully and in a mutually beneficial way". "Ukraine and the EU are not prepared to sign a legally binding accord that would take account of Russia's interests," Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said. Later the European Commission blamed Russia for the failure of talks on the DCFTA. A new legally binding accord would "reopen" the DCFTA, the Commission said, but "the DCFTA cannot be amended - neither directly nor indirectly". In September Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko introduced sanctions against 388 Russian individuals and 105 firms and other organisations. The proportion of Ukrainian exports going to the EU jumped from below 25% in 2012 to almost 35% in the first seven months of this year, the Financial Times reports, in contrast with shrinking trade with Russia. Ukraine's imports of Russian natural gas - for years a thorny issue in their relations - have also declined to a bare minimum. Ukraine's gas dependency on Russia was reduced through energy efficiency measures and diversifying sources of supply.

Just over half (55%) of 1,700 people with children aged 11 to 17 strongly agreed that social media hinders or undermines moral development. The poll was part of a project by the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues at Birmingham University. Researcher Blaire Morgan said some of the findings were surprising. "Not least [of these is] the low level of agreement that social media can enhance or support a young person's character or moral development. "Whilst parents acknowledged that positive character strengths, including moral virtues such as love, courage and kindness, are promoted through social networking sites, they were reluctant to agree that these sites could have a positive impact on their child's character." BBC Newsround research earlier this year suggested that children as young as 10 have social media accounts despite being below the age limit, which is usually 13. The new poll highlights parents' concerns about the trend. Of those questioned, 93% were themselves regular social media users but: The survey, which also questioned parents about their own use of social media, asked which negative traits or vices they saw online at least once a month. They were also asked to name character strengths they believed were lacking on social media: But almost three-quarters (72%) said they saw content containing a positive message at least once a day. And asked to identify character strengths they saw at least once a month on social media, the respondents replied: Ms Morgan said: "The Jubilee Centre's parents and media project seeks to explore the relationship between social media and virtues in more depth, and hopefully offer a more constructive outlook on how social media might impact on a person's character and moral values. "Social media is not going away, so by learning more about this relationship we should be able to maximise the benefits of social media use and avoid the pitfalls."

In Queensland, helicopters rescued more than 1,000 people stranded in the city of Bundaberg as the Burnett River burst its banks, flooding 2,000 homes. In New South Wales, Grafton escaped the worst of the flooding as the Clarence River peaked below the city's levees. The waters are now beginning to drop gradually as troops prepare for a mammoth recovery effort and clean-up. Tropical Cyclone Oswald, which triggered the flooding, is now heading out to sea south of Sydney. Tens of thousands were left isolated or displaced by the torrent, which peaked in most areas late on Tuesday. Four people are now known to have died in the severe weather, after a toddler who was hit by a falling tree in Brisbane died on Monday. It comes two years after severe flooding in southern Queensland, including in the state capital Brisbane, that left 35 people dead and tens of thousands of homes flooded. "We're planning to have some troops on the ground hopefully within the next 24 hours. It looks like waters will recede and we'll be able to gain access," Brigadier Greg Bilton told reporters. "Severe major flooding is being experienced in the Burnett [river] catchment area," the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said in its latest statement. It added: "Record major flooding continues at Bundaberg with the river rising slowly above 9.5m (31ft) in the last few hours." The Burnett river is also running more than 1.5m (4.9ft) higher than the last serious flooding in December 2010. Queensland Police Minister Jack Dempsey said that the flood levels will be some of the highest recorded for the whole of the Bundaberg and Burnett region. "The main priority at the moment on the ground is life and we really do implore people to go to the highest points, listen to the emergency service workers and their directions," he said. Some 7,500 people are reported to have been displaced in the city of Bundaberg, with more than 1,500 taking shelter in evacuation centres. About 1,000 people were plucked from the roofs of their homes by helicopters in daring evening rescues after rivers broke their banks late on Monday. Two air force transport planes are evacuating patients from the local hospital and Prime Minister Julia Gillard said 100 military personnel were being sent to help out. Queensland State Premier Campbell Newman has praised the civilian and military rescue crews, saying their bravery was "what saved the day". The BoM has warned that "major flooding is continuing in the Logan River", with the towns of Waterford and Eagleby now threatened. In Brisbane, low-lying parts of the central business district were flooded but the impact on residential areas was less than expected, ABC News said. Officials in the city said that the flooding was not as bad as in 2011, when 22,000 homes were flooded and the damage to infrastructure cost $400m (£250m). However, Brisbane's Lord Mayor, Graham Quirk, told the Herald Sun newspaper that high tides in coming days would see river levels rise again.

Hundreds of people died and many more were injured when huge crowds tried to get into an area close to Mecca. Rashid Mogradia, of the Council of British Hajjis, a national organisation which looks after pilgrims who are going to Mecca, told the BBC "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been affected." Watch Ricky's report to find out what happened.

The HM Inspectorate of Prisons report suggested boredom and the availability of drink and drugs at HMP Stoke Heath were among reasons for poor behaviour. The jail, near Market Drayton in Shropshire, had high levels of violence and "some concerning finds of weapons". Stoke Heath houses 745 prisoners, 40 of them young offenders. It is a category C "closed" prison - where inmates are not trusted in open prison conditions but are considered unlikely to try to escape. The report criticised the fact that one prisoner, a foreign national, was being held solely on immigration grounds despite his jail term being completed two years ago. A high proportion of prisoners had been involved in domestic violence offences, but there was no work done at the jail to address this behaviour. The inspectorate said: "Many prisoners were under-occupied and boredom contributed to poor behaviour. "We found 40% of men - unemployed, part-time workers and domestic workers - milling about aimlessly on the wings during the working day." Chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said HMP Stoke Heath's priorities for the future should include "a focus on tackling violence, keeping men fully occupied and doing more to reduce the risks that they will reoffend after release". Michael Spurr, chief executive of the national offender management service, said: "The Governor and his staff have worked hard to make real improvements at the same time as managing significant change. "The prison will now use the findings of this report to develop and improve further, including through an enhanced strategy to tackle and reduce prisoner violence."

Nijamul Islam, 44, of Farm Road, Edgware, north London, pleaded guilty to two charges of being in charge of a dog, dangerously out of control. Beata Obuchowski was working as a kennel maid when she was savaged by a Belgian Shepherd dog and a German Shepherd dog for about half an hour. Islam's dogs attacked her on a deserted farm in Hertfordshire in 2014. The farm was being used to train guard dogs and the court was told that for between 30 to 40 minutes, Polish mother-of-one Ms Obuchowski found herself under attack from the animals. She was repeatedly bitten about her hands, arms and legs. In the end, as the dogs began to tire, Ms Obuchowski - armed with a stone she had picked up to defend herself - pretended to be dead and lay lifeless on the ground. The court was told her injuries were so severe that she remained in hospital for two and a half months following the attack. Her right middle finger had to be amputated at the knuckle and the right index finger had to be amputated below the fingernail. Following the attack, police found 99 animals were being kept at the farm in Great Amwell, near Ware. Jurors heard Islam kept the dogs in horrendous conditions and a vet who attended the scene for the RSPCA was shocked by what she found. Forty of the dogs had to be put down including the dogs that had attacked Ms Obuchowski. Islam's barrister, Mr Joe Sidhu QC, asked that he be given credit for his guilty pleas on the day of his trial.

The EFL wrote to the club to "request their observations" on Wagner's team after their loss to Birmingham. The Terriers boss made 10 changes for the 2-0 defeat, a result the league has confirmed will stand. "The only person who is able to say what is a strong team and what isn't a strong team is me," Wagner said. "I selected the team because I wanted to win the football match. In my opinion, and this is why I defend my squad and my players like a tiger, I think it's very disrespectful for the players who were on the grass against Birmingham to say this was a weak team. "This is why I thought at the beginning it was a joke and not something serious." Wagner's team selection was questioned by Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray, whose Rovers side remain two points below relegation rivals Birmingham before the final game of the season. "It doesn't concern me to be fair what other managers from Nottingham or Birmingham or Blackburn or whoever thinks about us and our team selection," Wagner told BBC Radio Leeds. "You have to be totally focused on yourself and you have to be brave enough if you make mistakes over the whole season - and I think if you are in relegation trouble after 45 games, probably you will not have done everything right - you have to be brave enough to raise your hand and say yes we did some mistakes. "I don't think the team selection I chose against Birmingham will cause these teams problems over 46 games, this should not be the reason if someone is in trouble."

The incident happened at Icon Grocers in George Street on the morning of 31 October. Police Scotland said at the time that a sum of money was taken. No-one was injured. The teenager is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday.

Planning permission was granted to Island Gas Limited (iGas) to drill four boreholes near Mission. An iGas spokesman said data from the drilling "might be used to support a future fracking application". Anti-fracking protestors said they had "lost a battle but not the war". The protestors, including Misson parish councillor Jayne Watson, raised concerns about noise, potential impact on wildlife and whether or not there would be sufficient monitoring of iGas' activities. The company insisted it would consult regularly with the Environment Agency over its plans. Mrs Watson said the drilling, which was approved by Nottinghamshire County Council's planning committee, was intrinsically linked to a future application for exploratory shale gas drilling. The licences granted by the government mean there are potentially hundreds of communities in Nottinghamshire who could see fracking on their doorstep. In reality, though, it's a long way off - and companies such as iGas will have to clear several hurdles along the way. Today's decision to grant permission for monitoring boreholes was a relative formality, but a busy public gallery underlined the growing determination among campaigners to stop fracking in its tracks. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. The firm said in a statement: "Establishing baseline monitoring is key to ensuring that our operations are carried out safely and environmentally responsibly."

Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said Labour had "undermined" First Minister Carwyn Jones by not letting the St David's Day agreement go even further. Lib Dem MP Jenny Willott understood Mr Smith was "less devolution-friendly than some of his colleagues". Mr Smith dismissed claims of a rift with the first minister as "cobblers". On Friday David Cameron and Nick Clegg unveiled plans to give Wales more powers over energy, fracking and assembly elections. Mr Davies told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that other areas of agreement "were stopped by Labour because in London they weren't happy to allow that to go through". "So really they have undermined Carwyn Jones here in Wales," he added. Ms Willott said: "There are plenty of things that we would like to see devolved... that basically Labour are not happy to sign up to. "My understanding it's more Owen Smith that's less devolution-friendly than some of his colleagues." Mr Smith, who was in France for Wales' Six Nations rugby match, said via Twitter that talk of a rift with the first minister over devolution was "cobblers". Earlier, a Welsh Labour source said the claims were "utter nonsense" and that Labour proposals for devolution went further than those from the UK government. "The whole St David's Day Agreement has become little more than political manoeuvring for the Lib Dems and Tories," the source said. "It was supposed to be based on cross-party consensus but there was never any real agreement on key issues, not even between the Tories and Lib Dems. "It's understandable that they are angry and looking for someone to blame, though maybe they should be looking closer to home." No-one should be surprised that the fall out from the so-called St David's Day agreement has become so bitter so quickly. This was Stephen Crabb's baby and, with two months to go until the general election, none of the other parties, least of all Labour, are going to want to say anything that makes the Welsh Secretary look good. But the accusation against Labour is that while the first minister says Wales is not being treated with the same respect as Scotland, Welsh Labour's top man at Westminster - Owen Smith - is actually against devolving many of these powers. Labour say that's nonsense, and on the issue of funding say they'll only support a deal when the Treasury comes up with the figures. Ultimately it's about trust and there doesn't seem to be much of that around at the moment.

Conservatives emphasise the importance of sales from Scotland to the rest of the UK - four times greater than the value of sales to the rest of the UK in 2015. But, points out the Scottish government, the size of the total European Union market is around eight times bigger than the size of the market across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. To understand the difference, one side is measuring actual sales: the other potential for sales. Take your pick. They are, in a way, alternative facts. What the export figures show us once more is that, unlike England and Wales, it is the United States that is Scotland's biggest single export market. Which brings us to President Trump. One of the stranger business exploits to which he has given his name is the selling of Trump steaks. They were, of course, "the world's greatest". The steaks didn't work out well. This was about re-labelling, branding and charging top dollar but didn't work with the Trump brand's opulence and bling. But it does remind us that the new president is a salesman, and he recognised that a slab of beef is as much part of the American story as the skyscraper. Theresa May may wish to keep that in mind when she visits the White House, eagerly pushing to stay at the "front of the line" to get a quick trade deal as Britain exits the European Union. What she might easily agree with Donald Trump is that tariffs should come down. Washington's army of lobbyists may not agree so readily. But more difficult are the non-tariff barriers to trade. These can be regulatory requirements - for safety of products, for instance, for provenance, distribution requirements, or for minimum labour standards. And that gets very close to home when it comes to food standards and food safety, animal welfare and permitted ingredients. The Americans can put up the barriers to protect their own, in the name of food safety. Although France last week joined Ireland in regaining approval for beef and lamb sales to the US, for the first time since BSE took off, Britain still does not. No haggis. No genuinely Aberdeen Angus or Barnsley chops. But in trade talks, the powerful agricultural lobby in Washington can push very hard to batter down barriers to other markets. And that's where the talk of quick trade deals hits a harsh and sometimes unappetising reality. BBC Radio 4's Today programme this week illustrated the point, in an interview with Bob Young, chief economist with the American Farm Federation. He explained that the science is - as he describes it - on the Americans' side in the use of growth-enhancing hormones to bulk up beef cattle. Washing chickens in a chlorine solution is not allowed in the European Union, but it is in the US. Crops can be genetically modified, allowing for more efficient production and the ability to undercut producers in countries which do not allow them - and neither do

The woman, 27, from Bedford, was left with two fractures to her eye socket when Charlie Mulryan, 33, punched her on 3 June after he had been drinking. Mulryan, who had been living in Cambridgeshire at the time, admitted grievous bodily harm with intent. He was jailed for three years and 10 months at Luton Crown Court. Mulryan, of no fixed address, travelled by bus to meet the woman at her friend's house in Kempston but had already been drinking when he arrived and had a bottle of vodka in his pocket, the court heard. More news from Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire He was "behaving strangely" and was asked to leave, prosecutor Kevin West said. However when his victim joined him outside Mulryan called her a "slag" and a "bitch" and punched her to the ground. He damaged two cars in the street as he left before the owner of one vehicle caught him, knocking him unconscious. In a statement his victim said she had been left feeling "very vulnerable" after the attack, adding: "Scouse accents give me panic attacks." It is not yet known if she suffered permanent eye damage. "He remembers very little. He feels extremely remorseful," Shaun Esprit, defending Mulryan, said. At the time of the attack Mulryan, who had 49 previous convictions for 113 offences, was in breach of an eight-week suspended sentence for assaulting a police officer. He also pleaded guilty to criminal damage to the cars. Mulryan was jailed for three years and nine months, with a further one month to run consecutively for breaching his licence terms. Jailing him, Judge Philip Bartle QC said: "You are someone who is clearly capable of very serious violence."

Nigel Allcoat, 65, from Burbage, Leicestershire, offered to pay towards a £180 fine imposed on a man in his 20s, at Leicester Magistrates' Court. The fine was introduced by the government to help towards the running of the courts system and ensure criminals "pay their way". Mr Allcoat said his offer had been a simple "humanitarian" act. He said: "He was seeking asylum, which means it would have been breaking the law if he had been found with money or working, so how was he to pay this charge?" Asylum seekers are given top-up cards which have £35 added to their balance each week and can only be spent in certain stores. Rather than leaving the man short, Mr Allcoat, who has served for 16 years as a magistrate, reached into his own pocket. He said: "My offer was simply humanitarian, otherwise this man would have appeared and reappeared... for non-payment, knowing that on any occasion he could be sent to prison." Mr Allcoat was suspended from his duties following the case three weeks ago and investigated by the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee but he has now resigned. He said: "It was a young man in his 20s from Europe who has been ordered to pay this charge and was brought in front of me as he hadn't paid. "I just can't belong to an organisation that puts people in foolish situations like this. "[The charge] was slipped in to the legal system just at the end of the last government without any real thinking as to the consequences. "It can't be waived, it's not means-tested, it can't be remitted. You can't do anything about it as a magistrate. It's utterly foolish." A number of magistrates have resigned in protest over the criminal courts charge after it was introduced in April. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "It is right that convicted adult offenders who use our criminal courts should pay towards the cost of running them. "Offenders can pay in affordable instalments linked to their ability to pay. Magistrates and judges do not have to order prompt payment in full." Magistrates' Association chairman Richard Monkhouse said his members had "expressed concerns about the charge from the outset". "The law is the law and we have a sworn duty to apply it, so we've made our views known to the Lord Chancellor and will continue to do so."

The Brazil international was speaking after scoring twice on his home debut for PSG in a 6-2 win over Toulouse. "I spent four beautiful years there and parted happy," said the 25-year-old. "But with them [the board], no. "For me, they are not the people who should be there, for the direction of Barca. Barca deserve much better." Neymar's two goals against Toulouse took his tally to three in his opening two games for PSG. Since his departure, Barca have lost 5-1 on aggregate to rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. As they seek Neymar's replacement, they have also had three offers for Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho rejected, and have been unable to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele. However, the club have recruited former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho, and opened their league season with a 2-0 win at home to Real Betis on Sunday. "I cannot speak now I am in another team," said Neymar. "I don't know what's going on there, but I see my old team-mates sad, and it's that which makes me sad because I have a lot of friends there. "I hope that things will improve for Barca and that they will become a team that can rival others."

20 July 2016 Last updated at 19:19 BST He was speaking to BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis after speculation on the issue in the US media. He said there was “no question” Donald Trump would take up the position. "You don't do this for fun," he said.

Marc Williamson was 21 when he was stabbed to death in August 2011. This morning, his mother, Barbara, father, Cecil, and brother, Robert David, were in their home in Richhill when arsonists set fire to the car outside. The blaze spread to a nearby oil tank, which exploded. The fire destroyed the house but the family managed to escape. Robert David was awake early for work and raised the alarm. Mrs Williamson said: "Mark's dead five years in August coming up and if Robert David hadn't been up I'd have lost another son. "Maybe we'd have all been away, but I'd definitely have lost another son." Mrs Williamson says she believes she knows who started the fire. "It's a long story," she said, "but they got the wrong car, I'm sure they meant to burn out my car." The car was pushed up against the end-terrace house in Elm Park and set alight at around 05:30 BST on Wednesday. A number of neighbours had to be evacuated while the fire was brought under control. Mrs Williamson says the family are now homeless. "We've lost everything", she said. Police said they were working to establish a motive and appealed for anyone with information to contact them.

The train hit one of three wooden sleepers that fell on the track from a trailer, near Somerleyton in Suffolk. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said the crash happened on 18 June after Network Rail staff removed old sleepers and rails overnight. Network Rail said safety rules about observation of loads were reissued to staff immediately after the crash. A maintenance team spent the early hours of the day removing old wooden sleepers from the track between Somerleyton and Oulton Broad North station. The report said guidelines had been flouted and no-one was given the job of ensuring "nothing fell off" the trailers. The report said: "The authorised work plan calls for a person to be appointed to monitor the load on each trailer." The passenger train from Norwich to Lowestoft was travelling at about 35mph (56km/h) when it hit the sleeper, just after 05:08 BST. The driver stopped the train before getting out to inspect what it had hit. The RAIB said he was accompanied by a second driver and they found a wooden sleeper "wedged under the front" of the train, as well as two further sleepers nearby, which they removed. After deciding the train was fit to move, the driver continued his journey to Lowestoft at a reduced speed. A spokesman for Network Rail said: "The safety of our network is of the utmost importance to us and we will take any steps necessary to prevent a recurrence of this incident. "We will be studying the recommendations of the report in detail."

Police confirmed a body found in woods near Wrexham is that of Georgia, 17, who went missing from her home in Telford Road, Wellington, on 26 May. Jamie Reynolds, 22, from Avondale Road, Wellington, earlier appeared via videolink at Stafford Crown Court charged with her murder. He was remanded in custody and will reappear in court on 6 September. Georgia's body was found in woodland off the Nant-y-Garth pass on Friday. She was identified by dental records. West Mercia Police said they believe she died between 20:00 and 21:00 BST on 26 May. An inquest into the teenager's death has been opened and adjourned to a later date. Police are still trying to locate Georgia's polka dot satchel, a make-up bag, a white Samsung Galaxy Y phone and items of her clothing. Det Supt Adrian McGee said: "Although the investigation has progressed quite quickly over the past few days, there is still a lot of work for us to do."

It follows a lengthy campaign by a charity and by relatives of some of those who've disappeared. The new law will allow the families to apply for a Certificate of Presumed Death. Scotland and Northern Ireland already have similar legislation in force. About 250,000 people are reported missing every year in the UK. While most quickly reappear, the families of those who don't can face years of legal and financial difficulties, on top of emotional trauma. Even when it seems clear that a missing person is most likely to be dead, it can be difficult to register that person's death without proof. With no death certificate, families often struggle to administer the missing person's estate, claim pensions or benefits, or deal with their mortgage or life insurance. Families will now be able to apply for a Certificate of Presumed Death for a loved one who has gone missing and is presumed dead. It will mean that any marriage or civil partnership will come to an end in the same way as if the missing person had died, and that property can be inherited under the missing person's will. It will also mean that grieving families will also be able to close bank accounts, stop direct debits, cancel passports, and apply for probate. Kevin Fasting was 49 when he left home in Liverpool in 2003, never to return. Struggling with depression, he left a note to his son, also named Kevin, 32, and two daughters Becky, 23, and Sharon, 34, apologising for letting them down. "You could've thought it was a suicide note. We expected to find a body," said his son. But they never did. Seven years later, searching for closure and believing their father to have most likely died, his family tried to deal with his estate. But it proved to be a near impossible task. "It was catch-22. We wanted to declare him deceased, but without a body we couldn't do it. We hit a standstill." Luckily, Kevin's son found a specialist lawyer. But it was still two years before he could put the legal battles - and legal bills - behind him. "I was calling every solicitor in Liverpool. If you were on your own or your were dependent on the person missing, it would be impossible." The court will issue the certificate if the person has been missing for seven years or if there is good reason to believe he or she is dead. Justice Minister Lord Faulks said: "Today marks a crucial step forward for families facing up to the terrible situation of losing someone without a trace. "We have made sure that while they are dealing with the heartache of a loved one going missing, they no longer have to face such a daunting task to deal with the practical issues that are also created." After Richey Edwards of the band Manic Street Preachers disappeared in 1995, it took his family more than 13 years to deal with his finances and have him declared

Yet, at the same time, unbeknown to his team-mates, friends and coaches, the England flanker was committed to fighting another very different foe. Moody was diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis in 2005, but kept his condition secret while continuing to play top-level rugby. Now retired, he wants to raise awareness of the Crohn's and Colitis UK charity which helps around 260,000 people in the UK with this type of disease. He admits that his battle against colitis has been extremely difficult. "In 2008 I had a really bad flare-up. I lost 10kg [22lb] of weight in about 10 days. I was losing blood, I felt awful and I just wanted to sleep the whole time. "I couldn't leave the house. Getting out of the front door was a challenge in itself. The disease was making life really difficult." By that stage, he had got used to rushing to the nearest toilet several times on the way to training and found himself regularly walking out of the tunnel at the start of a match, only to run back down it again to find the facilities. Crohn's and Colitis UK Moody even moved house to be closer to the training ground because of his feelings of urgency, which are common to sufferers of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Other symptoms can include diarrhoea, pain, anaemia, fatigue and sometimes inflammation of the joints, skin, liver and eyes. When he did eventually talk to players and coaches about his condition, they already knew something was wrong, and he felt relieved to be able to talk about it. Using medication, Moody had been able to keep his colitis under control but after years of taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories for rugby injuries he felt "like a walking medicine cabinet" - and stopped taking everything. He decided to strip his diet right back to alleviate his symptoms, and then reintroduce different foods a week at a time to work out what his body could tolerate. Eating oily fish and boiled chicken and carrots for an extended period wasn't pleasant, he says, but he did learn that cutting out red meat, dairy, spicy foods and caffeine meant he did not have to start taking medication again. Since retiring from rugby in 2011, he has reintroduced some dairy produce into his diet without any problems. "I'm lucky I managed to find a way to control it, but everyone has got their own way and their own regime," he says. Manchester United footballer Darren Fletcher, who joined Moody to launch United for Colitis in aid of the charity Crohn's and Colitis UK, recently returned to playing for the club after a year out following surgery to help control his ulcerative colitis. Everybody has a different form of inflammatory bowel disease, says Sarah Rogers from Crohn's and Colitis UK, and that is why it is so awkward to treat. "If you're lucky, you can manage it on a diet alone - by avoiding foods that cause

England's Hawkins lost the opening frame, but was never behind after that and went 9-3 ahead after five century breaks - 114, 102, 129, 141 and 128. But the world number 12 was pegged back by the Welshman, who rattled off four consecutive frames. Day, seeking a first ranking title, was ahead again in the next, but missed a routine red and Hawkins capitalised. "I felt so good and all credit to Ryan, he stuck in there. I was delighted to get a chance and hold myself together. I just feel relieved," said Hawkins. It was a third ranking title for Hawkins, 37, who picked up a first prize of £100,000. He won the 2012 Australian Open and the Players' Championship - also at Preston's Guild Hall - in 2014.

China's slowdown appears to have bigger repercussions for other countries than had been expected, the IMF said. The troubles in China have sent the prices of commodities such as oil and copper sliding. The falls have hit exporters of commodities, such as Brazil and Russia, particularly hard. The IMF's warning comes ahead of a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers in Ankara on Friday and Saturday. The IMF said that the problems could lead to "much weaker outlook" for global growth. However, the fund still expects the global economy to expand by 3.3% this year, slightly lower than 3.4% in 2014. The US is forecast to grow by 2.5%, up from 2.4% in 2014, the eurozone should expand by 1.5%, nearly double the 0.8% seen last year, while China should expand by 6.8%, down from 7.4%. The IMF called on China to keep reforming its economy despite the recent falls in the stock markets on the mainland. Chinese stock markets have been falling since mid-June and the government unexpectedly devalued the yuan on 11 August. Many believed the move was an attempt to make Chinese exports more competitive. However, US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned China against manipulating its currency to give its exporters an unfair advantage. "We are going to hold them accountable," he told CNBC. The IMF is also concerned about the impact on global growth if the US Federal Reserve raises rates later this year. The Fed, which could decide to lift rates when it meets on 16 and 17 September, should keep its decisions "data-dependent", the Fund said. Analysts at Societe Generale said: "The IMF clearly doesn't think raising rates against the modest global growth backdrop is a good idea." More broadly the IMF recommended that advanced nations should maintain very loose monetary policies and "growth-friendly" fiscal policies. That meant the European Central Bank should extend its asset-buying programme unless inflation rises sufficiently, the note said.

Sirens were sounded at the same moment as the first explosion at the reactor, in the early hours of 26 April 1986. The meltdown at the plant remains the worst nuclear disaster in history. An uncontrolled reaction blew the roof off, spewing out a cloud of radioactive material which drifted across Ukraine's borders, into Russia, Belarus and across a swathe of northern Europe. The relatives of those who died attended candle-lit vigils at several churches, including at Slavutych, a town built to re-house workers who lived near the nuclear plant. A series of events are being held throughout the day. Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko attended a ceremony in Kiev, and laid a wreath at a memorial to the victims of the disaster before observing a minute's silence. He is heading north to the site of the plant itself, not far from the border with Belarus, for a ceremony there. Vasyl Markin, who had been working in Chernobyl at the time of the disaster, attended the service in Slavutych. "This tragedy will stay with us till the end of our lives. I won't be able to forget it anyway," he said. Some former residents returned to the area, now derelict and overgrown, ahead of the anniversary. Zoya Perevozchenko, 66, lived in Pripyat, the town inhabited by Chernobyl workers which was abandoned in the wake of the accident. She told Reuters news agency: "I barely found my apartment, I mean it's a forest now - trees growing through the pavement, on the roofs. All the rooms are empty, the glass is gone from the windows and everything's destroyed. Levels of radioactivity remain high in the surrounding area. A charity, Bridges to Belarus, is warning that a number of babies in a region close to Ukraine's border are still being born with serious deformities, while an unusually high rate of people have rare forms of cancer. Donors around the world pledged €87.5m (£68m; $99m) on Monday towards a new underground nuclear waste facility in the region. Ukraine will need to commit a further €10m in order to complete the new storage site. Work began in 2010 on a 25,000-tonne, €2.1bn sarcophagus to seal the uranium left in the damaged reactor, thought to be about 200 tonnes. Experts fear that if parts of the aging reactor collapse, further radioactive material could be spewed into the atmosphere. The number of people killed by the disaster remains disputed. A report in 2005 by the UN-backed Chernobyl Forum concluded that fewer than 50 people died as a result of exposure to radiation, most of them workers killed immediately after the disaster, but some survived until as late as 2004. The forum estimated up to 9,000 people could eventually die from radiation exposure, although Greenpeace claims the figure could be as high as 93,000.

Media playback is not supported on this device At the age of 14, with a taste of what could be in store, future reigning Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic champion Adam Peaty was pretty sure the swimmer's life was not for him. "I remember it was a Sunday evening and we used to do a double session on Sundays so it was a full training day," breaststroke specialist Peaty told BBC Sport from his new training base in Loughborough. "I was in the gym doing 3,000 reps of everything, burpees and press ups until I was goosed. "I got into the car and said to my mum: 'I don't want to do this any more, I want to quit'. She said just keep going until the end of the next week and so on each week." A mother's wisdom involving some cleverly-timed mind games kept the teenage Peaty sweet enough to see the hard work begin to pay off. But the 22-year-old is clear in his mind that his long-serving coach Mel Marshall - now the National Lead Centre Coach at Loughborough - takes considerable credit for his incredible transformation from a kid "whose times weren't the best" to the world's best. Marshall's appointment as head coach at the City of Derby Swimming Club in November 2008 was the start of an incredible journey for both of them. "It was insane when I first started," explained Peaty. "I was making up for time I had lost, I was racing kids who had been racing for ages, who had that experience and fitness on me. "But as soon as I started to get the ball rolling with Mel, that was when it popped and everything kind of blew up." In swimming terms, only taking the sport completely seriously at the age of 14 meant he had some catching up to do. Many top-level swimmers have been sampling the delights of six or seven sessions per week and ungodly alarm calls since before they have reached double digits. "I speak to a lot of kids and parents and they are throwing their kids into 4am training at eight, nine and 10 years old," said Peaty. "It's weird because, for me, I think I have been successful because I haven't had that grilling from a young age." It is no wonder that swimming is seen as a very young person's sport and that it is commonplace for retirement to come in the mid-20s. Double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington finished in 2013 at the age of 23, while one of the world's best sprinters Fran Halsall called time on a glittering career at the age of 26 in January. "Some of the best athletes in the world are the late starters," said Uttoxeter-born Peaty. "Maybe they have more energy because they haven't been doing it for so long. "As soon as I left school, I wanted to do it professionally and here I am. "I am enjoying it a lot more from 16 or

Intense pressure finally paid off with Shay Logan's close range volley putting Derek McInnes' side in front. Julien Klein drew the visitors level after a corner was not cleared, and Ash Taylor had two goals disallowed. But McGinn's late shot squirmed home, before Rooney converted a penalty. This was potentially the easiest tie in Aberdeen's quest to reach the Europa League group stage but proved a genuine test, as will the return leg in Luxembourg. Stefano Bensi's shot off the post in the first half was a real scare, while Taylor saw the first of two goals ruled out after Jonny Hayes' cross has gone out of play. The home side's second half approach suggested Aberdeen would take some sort of lead with them; laying siege on their opponents goal with Taylor almost netting within minutes of the restart. McGinn saw a free-kick parried, a shot blocked then a close range header palmed behind. Substitute Rooney somehow couldn't net from a couple of yards, then struck a post form close range as the visitors looked like completely capitulating. When Logan's goal hit the net there was only one winner in most observer's eyes - if it was a boxing match it might have been stopped - but Fola Esch stunned Pittodrie with an equaliser. Poor defending from a corner allowed the ball to be cut back to captain Klein and he confidently powered the ball home. That knocked Aberdeen's confidence a little and Jakob Dallevedove found space to test Lewis but his shot was parried. Aberdeen regained their superiority and Taylor again had the ball in the net only for the referee to rule it out for a foul on the goalkeeper. And they thought they had been a denied when the flag went up after McGinn's shot slipped through, but this time the Danish referee overruled his assistant. Their passage to the next round was made considerably easier when Rooney confidently netted a penalty deep into the seven minutes of injury time. It was a fantastic spectacle, a genuine test for Aberdeen and they'll be mightily relieved to have achieved a two goal advantage at the end of it.

A security official said two bombs left behind by the attackers had been defused. The violence comes two days after another soldier was shot dead in an attack on an army bus in eastern Cairo. There has been an upsurge in violence since the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last July. Islamist militants have killed hundreds of police and soldiers in numerous attacks. The military accused Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood of carrying out this latest attack, which was carried out as the soldiers took part in dawn prayers. The Brotherhood denies involvement in violence, saying it is committed to peaceful campaigning. It was designated a terrorist group in December and thousands of its members have been put on trial. A series of high-profile attacks on security forces in Cairo and the Sinai peninsula have been claimed by another group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which it says are in revenge for the military-backed government's repression of Mr Morsi's supporters. Mr Morsi, elected in 2012 following the overthrow of veteran ruler Hosni Mubarak, was ousted by the military amid huge streets protests against him, after a year in power marred by deep political and social divisions. Mr Morsi is in jail facing four separate trials. The charges, which he denies, include the killing of opposition protesters, espionage and conspiring to commit acts of terror. Military chief Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is expected to stand in presidential elections which are due to be held in April.

Severn Trent has agreed to buy Dee Valley Water for about £78.5m. The company has now suspended talks on an alternative takeover bid with the investment firm Ancala, which had bid roughly £71.3m. Severn Trent said it would invest in the firm and help vulnerable customers but MPs in the area have raised concerns about the takeover. Wrexham MP Ian Lucas said: "Dee Valley Water has been a small and quietly efficient company, which has gone about its business serving our area well in the past few years. "It is now facing a takeover by a multinational company and I am concerned that profits, rather than service, will be put first." Clwyd South MP Susan Elan Jones said it was "vital that reassurances are given about people's jobs and that local people's concerns are listened to - and acted upon". Severn Trent played down the concerns. A spokesman said: "Customers will share in half of any wholesale cost efficiencies achieved, which will be reflected in future bills."

The 30-year-old from Dublin dominated the early rounds and then pounced with a stunning combination in the fifth to end the super-featherweight contest. Taylor, who turned pro in October, was fighting on the undercard of the David Haye and Tony Bellew fight in London. "It was great to get the stoppage," said the London 2012 gold medallist. "This is the first time I have had a proper training camp under my belt and I felt quicker and sharper," Taylor added on Sky Sports Box Office. "I felt like I could have gone 10 rounds in there. I think I am ready to box for a world title right away, I just have to get a few 10-round fights under my belt." Taylor won her pro debut bout by stopping Karina Kopinska from Poland and followed that with a points win over Brazil's Viviane Obenauf. At the 2016 Olympics, her attempt to become a double gold medallist ended when she lost her opening bout in Rio in August.

A 21-year-old man was arrested after failing a roadside drug test following the incident on the A55 near Llanfairfechan, Conwy county. He was later released on bail. The crash happened at about 20:00 GMT on Monday and the injured police officer is being treated at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.

It is the largest public building built in the UK in the 20th Century and was designed by architect Sir Colin St John Wilson and his partner MJ Long. The library is home to documents including Magna Carta manuscripts and handwritten Beatles lyrics. Seven other 20th Century libraries in England have been listed at Grade II. Construction of the British Library on London's Euston Road began in 1982 and its doors opened in 1997, although moving in all of the books - estimated to be around 14 million - took four years. It has been described as "one of England's finest modern public buildings" by heritage body Historic England. The design includes five public floors with 11 reading rooms surrounding the centrepiece of the King's Library tower, which contains George III's library. "The British Library divided opinion from the moment its design was revealed," said heritage minister Tracey Crouch, "but I am glad that expert advice now allows me to list it, ensuring that its iconic design is protected for future generations to enjoy." The £506m building is home to the "treasures gallery" which holds rare historic books and documents including the Lindisfarne Gospels, Shakespeare's First Folio, Gutenberg's 1455 Bible and Handel's Messiah written in the composer's hand. Nearby St Pancras Hotel and King's Cross Station also have Grade I listed status protecting the appearance of the buildings, while the British Library joins Lloyd's of London in the City of London as the youngest buildings listed in England. British Library chief executive Roly Keating said the status reflected the building's "courageous and visionary design". "Even in the relatively short period since its opening, it has worked its way into the affections of millions of visitors and researchers, who have discovered its beautiful spaces, subtle use of natural light and exquisite detailing," said Keating. He added that it was "a privilege" to be listed alongside the seven other 20th Century libraries across the UK. "As well as celebrating architectural excellence, this listing is a reminder, in the midst of the digital age, of the vital importance of libraries as physical spaces of the highest quality at the heart of their communities," said Keating. The seven libraries to be awarded Grade II status are:

PC Andrew Ott struck William Horner with his riot shield at a tuition fees protest in London in 2010. He and two officers were also accused of concocting a reason to falsely arrest the student. Ott, 36, was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm at Southwark Crown Court. All three were cleared of perverting the course of justice. Mr Horner, then aged 20, was trying to break free from a kettled area during the protest in Parliament Square, Westminster on 9 December when he was struck. The Royal Holloway student was then arrested on suspicion of threatening to commit criminal damage. Ott, from Rochester in Kent, PC Calvin Lindsay, 31, from east London, and PC Thomas Barnes, 31, from Kent, were accused of making up a reason to arrest Mr Horner after he was injured. The protests saw riot police pelted with missiles including rocks and concrete blocks, and the statues in Parliament Square being daubed with graffiti, the court heard. No further action was taken against Mr Horner. PC Lindsay, from Leytonstone, and PC Barnes, from Greenhithe, and Ott have been on restricted duties during court proceedings. Ott will be sentenced on Wednesday.

Violence broke out at Saturday's event, which was staged in an off-licence shortly before a Sunderland-Celtic match being held the same day. Police attended Fletcher's News and Booze, where an 18-year-old man suffered a head injury and needed hospital treatment. Twenty-one arrests were made in total. Officers said the majority were unrelated to Mr Robinson's book signing and included people being drunk and disorderly, committing a breach of the peace and using illegal pyrotechnics. Emergency services had been called to the off-licence in Hendon at about 13:40 BST. The force said Mr Robinson was wearing a Glasgow Rangers shirt - the arch rivals of Celtic. Footage posted on social media showed a flare and other objects being thrown towards the shop before fighting broke out on the street. The pre-season match was organised to mark 20 years since the opening of Sunderland's Stadium of Light and 50 years since Celtic won the European Cup. Assistant Chief Constable Helen McMillan said: "Unfortunately, we did have some incidents of disorder in and around Sunderland between Sunderland and Celtic fans and, while police dealt with them quickly, it is a shame these type of incidents happen at all." Sunderland were beaten by Celtic 5-0.

Impeccably dressed and coiffed, she is one of Singapore's success stories, having started her career in banking more than two decades ago. She now runs the wealth management and consumer banking team at DBS, one of Singapore's most valuable firms. But she admits she couldn't do this without help. "When I got pregnant I moved very close to my parents," she told me. "They were literally a stone's throw away so they were always there for me or my children. "I also had a [domestic] helper, which is possible in Singapore because it's relatively affordable, and I had very supportive bosses at work who allowed me to juggle my time and my flexibility." Ms Tan is one of a small but powerful group of women helping to run some of the biggest companies in Singapore. At telecom giant Singtel, female employees make up one third of the senior management positions - including the group chief executive, and investment, technology and operating heads. Over the last decade Singapore has outperformed its Asian peers in closing the gender workplace and pay gap - but still very few women end up joining what is essentially a men's club in the business world here. When it comes to gender equality in the workplace, the city-state still has a long way to go. Experts say women are still being held back because the corporate culture in Singapore penalises them if they decide to spend a few years out of the workforce. "Some women do take time off for their own family issues and then the companies would say - oh you took two years off so you're not getting as much exposure as the man who didn't take the time off," says Prof Annie Koh of Singapore Management University (SMU), who has been working on the issue of gender equality for years. As a mother of two herself, she says women often feel they deserve less than men, because of their family commitments. "Women aren't good at asking. We keep telling ourselves that our bosses will tell us when we deserve more, that perhaps because we came back after giving birth we shouldn't be paid as much as men," she says. "Women shouldn't be penalised for stepping out of the workforce." Singapore regularly ranks as one of Asia's worst countries in terms of work life balance, and experts say that's why it's suffering from a declining birth rate. "Some women end up having the 'either/or' mentality", Prof Koh said, "choosing either the life of a professional or the life of a mother". "But it doesn't have to be like that. The government is encouraging companies to bring women into the workforce, because it's good for business, and for the economy." But by some accounts, the workplace is only getting more competitive in an already highly stressful Singapore. Vithiya Gajandran is a 24 year-old postgraduate student. Ambitious and keen to succeed, she is the epitome of the Singaporean millennial. But while she does plan to have

This was the seventh largest victory, in terms of runs, in the 3,767-match history of ODIs. Pakistan piled up 337-6 in a match reduced by rain to 47 overs per side, with Sharjeel Khan scoring 152. Ireland were bowled out for just 82 inside 24 overs in reply, with left-arm spinner Imad Wasim taking 5-14. Sharjeel's 152 was the third quickest 150 in the format in terms of balls faced, his innings coming off 86 balls and including 16 fours and nine sixes. He racked up his maiden ODI century in just 61 balls, registering Pakistan's fourth fastest ton in the format. The teams will meet again at the same venue on Saturday. After the two encounters with Pakistan, Ireland will finish their season with further one-day internationals against South Africa on 25 September and Australia on 27 September - both in Benoni, South Africa. Pakistan are using the games as preparation for five one-day internationals against England, having drawn the recent Test series between the countries. Ireland captain William Porterfield: "It was a good toss [for Pakistan] to win but we let ourselves down with the ball. We can't let teams get away from us like that. "It is a tough learning curve bowling against some of the best batsmen in the world but our young bowlers want to come back, go again and come back stronger. "It is difficult chasing down a total like that; we just have to go and address how we went wrong."

After Monday's washout at Chelmsford, the home side only added two runs to their 266-9 before Clint McKay took the final wicket for figures of 4-47. Leicestershire reached 128-1, but after Angus Robson went for 74, they were bowled out for 243 in 78 overs. David Masters and Ravi Bopara each took three wickets for Essex, who were 22-1 at stumps, extending their lead to 47. However, a draw appears the most likely result on the final day, barring a dramatic collapse by one of the two sides. Robson hit 10 fours in his 135-ball innings, and shared a stand of 88 with Neil Dexter (33), but Mark Pettini (36) was the only other batsman to pass 20 in the Leicestershire innings. Former Kent seamer Masters needs only five more victims to reach 650 wickets in first-class cricket following his 3-33, which included the wicket of Robson, who was caught behind.

While post-Brexit Britain might remain inside the European research funding system, academics in other countries are nervous about collaborating with UK institutions. UK-based academics are being asked to withdraw their applications for future funding by European partners. BBC Newsnight is aware of concerns raised by academics at Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, Exeter and Durham. Chris Husbands, the vice-chancellor at Sheffield Hallam, says that his researchers are already seeing significant effects. He told Newsnight: "Since the referendum result, of the 12 projects that we have people working on for submission for an end-of-August deadline, on four of those projects researchers in other European countries have said that they no longer feel that the UK should be a partner because they don't have confidence in what the future is going to hold." He added: "Leaving the EU doesn't necessarily mean being outside the European research network. Norway, Switzerland - they are part of the European research network [despite being out of the EU]. And it may be that there's where we end up. "But it's not where we are now and in that uncertainty people are making decisions about what might happen - and like all people planning for the future, they're planning on a worst-case scenario." Three other vice-chancellors, who have asked to remain anonymous, have confirmed similar problems for their researchers. They also say they are fielding calls from prospective future EU students about their access to student loans and their immigration status. They also report that staff members and prospective staff members have notified them of their decisions to seek work elsewhere in the EU. At the moment, the UK and its universities remain full members of the EU. Jo Johnson, the science minister, has asked for academics to report any examples of British academics being discriminated against. But academics in other countries are quite open that they are concerned about working with people who may become ineligible for future grants. Others have told Newsnight they fear the EU might not fund research in a country on the cusp of leaving the EU. Stephan Koppe, an academic at University College Dublin, tweeted that he did not invite British academics to join with him recently, even before the referendum, because he feared the outcome. The higher education sector was fiercely in favour of remaining in the EU. Across the whole sector, more than 125,000 non-UK EU students are currently studying at UK universities, making up 5% of the entire student body. At the London School of Economics, they make up 18% of the student body. The EU is also estimated to contribute about 15 per cent of the higher education workforce. UK universities also won more than £800m in funding from the EU for research. The critical concern for most vice-chancellors is research collaboration. In any given field where a researcher is hoping to make novel progress, there may only be a few experts on the cutting edge who can help them with their particular problems. By making it easier for

The man, who has not been named died in Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex, on Tuesday after suffering burns to his legs and body. Suffolk Police said officers had been called to London Road North in Lowestoft town centre shortly after 17:00 BST on 4 September. A force spokesman said an inquest would be held in due course.

The sign in the hallway of a school in the rural province of Alberta also told girls not to dress "like a THOT", an acronym for "that ho over there". It was posted in response to a female students' note saying the dress code was "shaming girls for their bodies". The principal said neither sign reflected the opinions of school staff. It began when female students at Breton High School posted a sign in a school bathroom mirror. It read: "When you interrupt a girl's school day to force her to change clothes, or send her home because her shorts are too short or her bra straps are visible, you are telling her that making sure boys have a 'distraction free' learning environment is more important than her education." "Instead of shaming girls for their bodies teach boys that girls are not sexual objects!!!" Wild Rose School Division superintendent Brad Volkman told the BBC the sign was taken down almost immediately. But a few hours later, another one appeared, this one apparently posted by male students. "When you wear little to no clothing and dress provocatively because it's 'too hot out' or because you think it's 'attractive,' you are putting boys at risk of having a distracting working environment and saying 'Your clothing is more important than their education.' Instead of dressing like a THOT, value the male education and dress conservatively." Mr Volkman told the BBC: "It's not uncommon for students to start to push on those (dress code) boundaries. "But it cannot be done in anyway with inappropriate language." The offensive term thot caused outrage. Grade nine student Julie Steeves told Global News: "I just couldn't believe it. "Lots of girls were really disgusted, sad and mad about this." Breton High School principal Lara Jollymore told parents "thot" was an "inappropriate acronym" that would not be tolerated. She said the school would continue to enforce the dress code, which bans short skirts and states that "cleavage", "navels" and "bra straps" must be covered.

Jane Collins was told to pay £358,000 in damages and costs in February after being sued for libel and slander. But, she appeared in court in Hull earlier on Monday after failing to pay. A spokeswoman for Ms Collins said after the hearing that she will face bankruptcy proceedings if it is found that she cannot make the payments owed. More stories from across Yorkshire Ms Collins claimed Rotherham MPs Sir Kevin Barron, John Healey and Sarah Champion knew about child exploitation in the town but did not intervene. She made the comments in a speech at a UKIP conference a month after a report found that about 1,400 children in the area had been abused between 1997 and 2013. She also expressed the opinion that they acted out of political correctness, political cowardice or political selfishness and were guilty of misconduct so grave that it was or should be criminal, as it aided the perpetrators. Ms Collins argued it was a political speech which did not contain any allegation of fact but expressed an opinion to the effect that the MPs were likely to have known that sexual exploitation was a serious problem in the area. She was ordered to pay a total of £162,000 damages to the MPs and £120,000 towards the £196,000 legal bill within 21 days, but failed to do so. Ms Collins appeared at a private hearing at Hull County Court to discuss a demand for payment issued by the MPs' lawyers. It is understood she had requested the demand was set aside but this was not agreed at the hearing. A spokeswoman for Ms Collins said the judge has now ordered that an examination of her assets should take place before 8 June . The spokeswoman said she would face bankruptcy proceedings if it was found she could not make the payments owed.

Daw sylwadau'r fargyfreithwraig Mona Bayoumi wrth i Bwyllgor Cydraddoldeb y Cynulliad gynnal ymchwiliad i hawliau dynol yng Nghymru. Dywed y pwyllgor fod eu hymchwiliad yn hanfodol wrth baratoi'r Cynulliad ar gyfer unrhyw newidiadau yn y dyfodol. Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder fod llywodraeth y DU yn parhau "wedi ei hymrwymo" i adolygu fframwaith hawliau dynol ym Mhrydain. Wrth siarad ar raglen Sunday Politics Wales, dywedodd Ms Bayoumi: "Er mwyn ei roi mewn cyd-destun, roedd 'na'n amlwg ddeddfwriaeth Brydeinig oedd yn bodoli ers y 70au oedd yn amddiffyn hawliau gweithwyr yn erbyn gwahaniaethu, felly mae'n bwysig i gofio hynny. "Ond rwy'n credu y bydd na erydiad araf o hawliau presennol sydd yn cydfynd gyda'r ddadl yr ydym wedi ei chlywed." Wrth i Brydain baratoi i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a llywodraeth y DU yn argymell disodli'r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol 1998, allai docio ar waith Llys Iawnderau Dynol Ewrop, mae Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb y Cynulliad yn edrych ar sut y gallai hyn effeithio ar Gymru. Rhaid i holl ddeddfau'r Cynulliad gydfynd gyda deddfwriaeth hawliau dynol, ac fe allai termau'r ddeddfwriaeth yma newid os bydd Theresa May'n bwrw 'mlaen gyda'r bwriad o ddisodli Cytundeb Ewrop ar Hawliau Dynol. Mae cadeirydd y pwyllgor ac aelod y Cynulliad dros Ddwyrain Casnewydd, John Griffiths yn dweud fod "llawer o bryder fod y trefniadau cynhwysol yr ydym wedi eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru dan fygythiad ar hyn o bryd o achos digwyddiadau ar draws y byd ac o fewn y DU", ac "mae'n rhaid amddiffyn yn erbyn hyn". Un arall sydd yn poeni am effaith unrhyw newidiadau posib i ddeddfwriaeth hawliau dynol ydi Mabli Jones o fudiad Stonewall. Mae hi'n poeni y gallai newidiadau ddadwneud y cynnydd mewn hawliau pobl LGBT. "Ers cyflwyno'r Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol mae nifer o benderfyniadau yn llysoedd y DU a'r UE sydd wedi cynyddu amddiffyniadau cyfreithiol i bobl LGBT. "Ein pryder yw, heb yr amddiffyniadau hyn, fe allem weld y cynnydd yn mynd yn ôl degawdau." Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder: "Mae llywodraeth y DU yn parhau wedi ei hymrwymo i adolygu fframwaith hawliau dynol ym Mhrydain. "Byddwn yn ystyried ymhellach Bil Hawliau unwaith y byddwn yn gwybod beth fydd trefniadau gadael yr UE gan ymgynghori'n llawn gan fod yn ymwybodol o'r tirlun cyfansoddiadol newydd y bydd hyn yn ei greu."

Police said they had arrested dozens of people for erecting barricades and throwing stones and petrol bombs. A bus was set alight in the capital, Santiago, where 8,000 officers have been deployed to prevent any violence. The 1973 coup deposed the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende, and led to 17 years of military rule. Past anniversaries have regularly been marked by demonstrations, some of which turned violent. Interior Minister Andres Chadwick said on Wednesday that "up to this moment the reports have been very positive compared to what we were expecting". He said that "major troublemakers were trying to take advantage of the occasion", but assured Santiago residents that the city was functioning normally. Protesters have erected burning barricades in two Santiago neighbourhoods, police reported. Speaking after a religious ceremony, centre-right President Sebastian Pinera called for national reconciliation. He said that the current generation of Chileans had no right to pass the hatreds of the past down to their children and grandchildren. "I'm certain that the great majority of Chilean feels that peace and reconciliation are necessary, and that after 40 years the time has come not to forget, but to overcome the traumas of the past," he said. The official ceremony marking the anniversary was already held on Monday at the presidential palace. There, President Pinera criticised the "violent coup that started a 17-year period of military rule". But he also said it was "the predictable outcome" after "repeated violations of the rule of law" under the government of socialist President Salvador Allende. A former president and candidate in the forthcoming presidential election, Michelle Bachelet, boycotted the ceremony. Tuesday saw Ms Bachelet visit Villa Grimaldi, a former detention centre in Santiago where both she and her mother were held and tortured. The site, where prisoners routinely received electric shocks and severe beatings, has been turned into a memorial park for the victims of the military regime. Holding photographs of left-wing activists who died or disappeared during the 17 years of Gen Pinochet's rule, Ms Bachelet and her mother stood in front of the stone memorial bearing the names of hundreds of victims. Ms Bachelet and her mother were detained there in 1975 before going into exile. Her father, a general loyal to President Allende, died after being tortured in detention. Speaking at the event at Villa Grimaldi, Ms Bachelet said it was important to "build a country which is capable of going forward in a more just egalitarian and peaceful way". She called for a truthful investigation into the crimes committed under military rule as "a dirty wound cannot heal". Some 40,000 people suffered human rights abuses in Chile from 1973 to 1990. More than 3,000 were killed or forcibly disappeared, their bodies buried in unmarked graves or dumped at sea. And more than 1,000 human rights cases are still ongoing in Chilean courts.

The trees were removed from the Market Place in Melksham, Wiltshire, as part of a planned redevelopment. Volunteer Kathy Iles said she "stood in the town hall and cried" after seeing the felled trees while walking "the route for a last check". Wiltshire Council apologised and said hoped it "doesn't affect the judging". Ms Iles said while walking the route on Wednesday, to her "horror" she saw a team of contractors in the Market Place cutting down trees. She said judges did "not just look at the blooms but took everything into account". "It's about community participation, about cleanliness of the town," she said. "These trees are due for removal as part of the Market Place redevelopment but they're not supposed to be coming down this week. "And definitely not the night before judging. I was just absolutely horrified. I rushed across the road and tried to get them to stop but they're there to do the work aren't they? "They haven't even finished the job. There's a tree stump left standing in the Market Place. The other tree is half-done and it's got Christmas lights dangling from it. It just looks awful." A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: "These trees were always planned to be removed as part of ongoing investment in Melksham. They are in a poor condition and had to be removed as part of this work." They said the authority had been doing "all we can" to make the Market Place look "as nice as it can in the circumstances". Britain in Bloom is a nationwide community gardening campaign which aims "to transform cities, towns and villages". It was set up by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1964.

All dogs are now legally required to have been chipped by the time they are eight weeks old. The charity said the improvement showed it was working but still meant 30,000 dogs would be untraceable if lost. It added 8% of the 3,222 unclaimed strays in Wales' council kennels last year did not have up-to-date chips. In 2015-16, before the law changed, 3,193 lost dogs were reunited with their owners in Wales - 15% of which were identified as a direct result of being chipped. But its head of campaigns, Andrew Jackson, said the charity had noticed a "growing number" of breeders not microchipping puppies at eight weeks, or not registering their details. He said this could cause problems for unsuspecting buyers who may not realise they should already have a chip registered to the breeder to ensure traceability. The charity said 2,751 fines had been issued to UK dog owners for non-compliance since the law came in on 6 April 2016. Most - 1,464 - were for dogs without chips, while 1,287 were issued to owners who had failed to update their details. Mr Jackson said: "It is excellent to see that so many owners have taken action to get their dogs chipped - a painless process for dogs which many charities will carry out for free. "However, still too many are not being reunited where owners have not updated their details when they move home or get a new phone number - heartbreaking for the owner and easily avoidable with a five-minute phone call. "All dog owners have a responsibility to microchip their dog and it's very encouraging to see such a strong take-up - now owners must make sure this effort does not go to waste and check their dog's chip is up to date." In February, a petition, backed by RSPCA Cymru, was launched calling for all councils to scan microchips of all pets found dead or alive.

The singer says the guitar-led feel to their latest music came naturally. "There wasn't some sort of big burning of banjos meeting," he told Annie Mac on her new Radio 1 evening show. "It was just the noise we wanted to make and we've always followed our noses on that. The first rule of rock 'n' roll is, do what you want." The band's first single from Wilder Mind, Believe, had its first play on Radio 1 on Monday night. Marcus Mumford says it was written after a friend's wedding in America last year. "The boys wrote it in Texas," he says. "We were all at a wedding and we were on this ranch. "One of our best mates got married and the parents of the bride kindly let us stay on in this little outhouse for a week. "I left a day early and by the time we'd met up again in London the boys had written this song, Believe. And then I got in and started singing it and it was just great because normally there's a guitar in my hands. "This is the first time in the band that I've just got to sing without having to worry about faffing with instruments. I really enjoyed it." Following the success of the band's 2012 release, Babel, Marcus Mumford and bandmates Winston Marshall, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane took some time off. Marcus says they got back together at the beginning of last year in America to write new material. "We started doing demos at Aaron Dessner's garage [from The National] in Brooklyn, New York, about a year ago and started getting some songs together. "And then when we were ready we went ahead in the autumn of last year and smashed it out. "And now we're running around trying to learn how to play it live." Last week the band revealed they will be headlining this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals as well as announcing their own Stopover Festival, a two-day music and arts event which will take place near Aviemore. Marcus Mumford says fans are in for something a little bit different with that one. "That's going to be a lot of music," he says. "We're putting on these festivals. It's kind of our favourite thing that we get to do as a band actually, to curate our own festivals, put together the line-ups. "And it's not a headline Mumford & Sons show. It's a festival in small, out of the way towns. "It's cool, because it's a destination gig, you will travel somewhere interesting and watch music for the weekend. It's great fun."

Effectively removing the implicit state guarantee standing behind investment banks will increase their cost of borrowing. This is because insisting that retail and investment banking divisions are separately capitalised means traders cannot use retail deposits as collateral against big investments. The ICB also proposed that a higher proportion of assets - between 17% and 20% - be kept aside as a safety net in case of future financial crises, which would limit the amount of money they can lend and invest. The ICB itself has estimated a pre-tax cost of between £4bn ($6.4bn) and £7bn for Britain's banks. With combined balance sheets totalling £6 trillion, this equates to about 0.1% of their assets. But the BBC understands that, after successful arguing by HSBC, the Treasury will make the 17% to 20% rule apply only to international banks' UK balance sheets, not their full balance sheets. The banks themselves may disagree, but which of the UK's big four banks will be hit hardest by these additional costs and the other recommendations put forward by the ICB? Lloyds is not a big player in the investment banking world, and so will be relatively unaffected by the ICB's call to ring-fence retail banks, which is specifically designed to stop High Street banks subsidising investment banks. Nor will the commission's backing of the planned disposal of 632 of the bank's branches have any material impact on a sale that was already going to take place at the behest of European authorities following the government's bailout of the bank in 2008. As Jonathan Newman at Brewin Dolphin says regarding the sell-off: "The commission is not pushing for anything over and above what is already happening." These two facts are reflected in the Lloyds share price, which was higher in late morning trading before slipping back slightly. Of course there is not a great deal Lloyds could do about the recommendations even if it wanted to, as the government still owns 41% of the bank. The story at Barclays is very different. A substantial part of its revenues - 42% - come from Barclays Capital, its investment banking arm. And since Bob Diamond took over as chief executive last year, the focus has moved further towards investment and away from deposit-taking. Potentially, therefore, Barclays has the most to lose from the ICB's recommendations. Before the commission published its final proposals, Barclays let it be known that it may consider moving Barclays Capital to New York if it was forced to split its investment arm from its retail division. Since the compromise solution of ring-fencing has now been put forward, there is little chance of that happening in the short term, says Chris Skinner, chairman of the Financial Services Club. In the longer term, however, Barclays may yet decide to up sticks, he says. Another bank with a large investment banking division is HSBC, accounting as it does for 27% of the group's overall revenues. Together, the banks have argued that their retail arms offer very little

The award from animation company Aardman and festival organisers is to honour those who are "worthy heirs to the earliest silent film comedians". The duo were presented with personalised versions of Aardman's Morph and Chas characters for their 25-year contribution to visual comedy. Previous winners include Eric Sykes, Michael Palin and The Goodies. Reeves and Mortimer have starred in several programmes together on TV, including Vic Reeves' Big Night Out, House of Fools and quiz show Shooting Stars. At the presentation at Bristol Old Vic on Sunday, they shared clips and anecdotes about their work and video messages from artist Damien Hirst, Ulrika Jonsson and comedians Jo Brand, Jack Dee, Charlie Higson and Matt Lucas. David Sproxton, co-owner of Aardman, said it was "important to keep alive an interest in visual humour". He said: "It's one of the few ways in which we can unite people of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities, languages and cultures. "So we are delighted to see this year's award going to Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, in recognition of the attention they have paid to using visual and physical gags throughout their careers." Other winners of the same award include Barry Humphries and June Whitfield.
