US President Barack Obama said that with the deal, "every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off" for Iran. And President Hassan Rouhani said the "historic" deal opened a "new chapter" in Iran's relations with the world. Negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany - began in 2006. The so-called P5+1 want Iran to scale back its sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot build a nuclear weapon. Iran, which wants crippling international sanctions lifted, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful. Follow our live updates A good deal, for now? Deal shakes Middle East media Good or bad for Middle East? There has been stiff resistance to a deal from conservatives both in Iran and the US. The US Congress has 60 days in which to consider the deal, though Mr Obama said he would veto any attempt to block it. The Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives, John Boehner, said the deal would only only "embolden" Tehran. "Instead of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this deal is likely to fuel a nuclear arms race around the world," he added. Israel's government has also warned against an agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a "stunning historic mistake" that would provide Iran with "hundreds of billions of dollars with which it can fuel its terror machine and its expansion and aggression throughout the Middle East and across the globe". He said he did not regard Israel as being bound by this agreement. "We will always defend ourselves," he added. In a televised address, Mr Obama insisted the deal would make the world "safer and more secure", and provided for a rigorous verification regime. "This deal is not built on trust - it is built on verification," he said. Immediately afterwards, Mr Rouhani gave his own televised address, in which he said the prayers of Iranians had "come true". He said the deal would lead to the removal of all sanctions, adding: "The sanctions regime was never successful, but at the same time it affected people's lives.'' After 12 years, world powers had finally "recognised the nuclear activities of Iran", he said. The agreement will change the Middle East, perhaps a lot, but at the moment no-one knows exactly how. The biggest question is whether it will reduce or increase the turmoil in the Middle East. Iran and the world's big powers, most significantly the US, now have a habit of working together - but don't assume that will help automatically to resolve the crises and wars that Iran, the US and their allies are involved with in the region. There is a danger that mutual suspicion will heat up the Middle East's fault lines, especially the cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia - and with it sectarian conflict between Shia and Sunni Muslims. But the agreement in Vienna removes Iran's nuclear programme from the danger list. Two

The company said there was a 7% increase in deaths in the UK, excluding Northern Ireland, in 2015. There were 588,000 deaths last year, compared with 550,000 in 2014. Chairman Peter Hindley described it as an "extraordinary" year and said the percentage increase in the 2015 death rate had not been recorded in any year since 1952. Provisional figures from the Office for National Statistics show death rate rises last year were at their highest in England and Wales since 1963. Public health experts have expressed concern about the rise in deaths last year. They believe cold weather and an ineffective flu vaccine may have played a part in the high numbers of deaths in the early part of 2015. Dignity expected the number of deaths this year to revert to 2014 levels. The company posted a £69m pre-tax profit, compared with a £67.7m loss for 2014 after refinancing its debts and returning money to investors. Underlying profits were up 23% to £72.2m, while revenue rose 14% to £305.3m. The company conducted 73,500 funerals at 767 locations throughout the UK. A higher number of funerals were undertaken at a higher average revenue, Dignity said. Mike McCollum, chief executive, said: "Our staff have performed tremendously in a year when we had to look after a lot more families than originally anticipated. Our standards remained high, as reflected in the outstanding responses from our client surveys." Shares in Dignity share fell almost 5% to £24.43 in afternoon trading. Shares in the UK's only listed undertaker have risen more than 25% in the past 12 months, valuing the company at £1.2bn.

The Australian striker was sent off for a challenge on Kenny Miller during last weekend's 2-0 loss at Fir Park. McDonald, who had been linked with a move to Western Sydney Wanderers, will be suspended for the two league games against Hearts and Aberdeen. He told BBC Scotland's Sportscene on Sunday that he was "disappointed" with referee Willie Collum's decision. The striker added: "I feel I take the ball and my momentum means I can't really do anything but go into Kenny. Media playback is not supported on this device "I go to win the ball, I lunge in, I actually take the ball and, as impact is braced, I've actually bent my leg for impact rather than a straight leg. "If I straighten my leg then I think Kenny is in a world of trouble, but there's no intent there." Moments prior to the announcement by the Scottish Football Association's disciplinary panel, Well manager Mark McGhee had said he was "100% convinced it wasn't a red card". He told reporters at the club's media conference on Thursday: "I'm not 100% convinced the people over there [at Hampden] will see that, or be prepared to turn it over."

Scott Wiseman opened the scoring for the leaders three minutes before half-time, only for Tom Soares to claim a 58th-minute equaliser. But Josh Morris fired in a superb winner in the 65th minute as Bury's five-match winning run in the league came to an end. Bury had started well, with Zeli Ismail denied by visiting goalkeeper Luke Daniels before Tom Pope headed against the Scunthorpe crossbar. The Iron replied with Stephen Dawson's cross being deflected against a Bury post, while Soares volleyed wide for the hosts. But Neal Bishop and Dawson went close for Scunthorpe before they took the lead following a 42nd-minute free-kick. The visitors worked the ball down the right for Duane Holmes to shoot and after his effort was blocked, Tom Hopper squared for Wiseman to convert. Bury drew level shortly after the break as Scunthorpe failed to clear a corner and Ismail fired it back across goal for Soares to tap in. But Morris soon restored the Iron's lead as he curled a 25-yard effort into the top corner - and he almost repeated the feat moments later as he struck the Bury bar. Jacob Mellis and Soares went close as Bury pressed for another equaliser but their six-match winning run in all competitions came to a halt. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Davies, 52, has been out of coaching for almost three years since he was sacked 13 months into his second spell at Nottingham Forest. Boyd spent time on loan at Forest during Davies' first stint and told BBC Scotland: "He'll do anything to win. "It's a results-driven world and, for me, there's not a better man." Media playback is not supported on this device Boyd, 33, moved to the City Ground in March 2011, scoring six goals in 10 league games for Forest, where Davies had been since December 2008 after time in charge at Derby, Preston and Motherwell. Davies was sacked by the two-time European Cup winners at the end of that season - but recruited again in early 2013. "He's a winner," added Boyd, who was a prolific finisher at Ibrox from 2006 to 2010 and had a second, less successful, spell in the Championship campaign of 2014-15 before returning to Kilmarnock for a third time. "When you see some of the runs he's been on at clubs, the records he's broken, he has something that can bring out the best in people. "He got me back scoring goals inside a week after a difficult few months not playing at Middlesbrough. That didn't happen by coincidence. "It wasn't just me. There were three or four others at Forest who were lacking a bit of fitness and he had us out on bike runs at seven in the morning. "A lot of the good work he's done in England has gone unnoticed up here. "And if you go back as far as Motherwell, they were fighting relegation when he took over. He kept them up and then they were challenging for Europe. "When you look at the stats, I don't think there's much comes near him." Rangers announced Warburton's departure on Friday, along with assistant David Weir and head of recruitment Frank McParland, while youth coach Graeme Murty oversaw Sunday's 2-1 Scottish Cup win over Morton. Former Ibrox captain Barry Ferguson says Rangers will look for "a short-term solution" and reckons Alex McLeish fits the bill. The 58-year-old, who was manager for five years until 2006, has said it would be difficult to turn down the opportunity to make a return. "He knows what the club is all about, he knows the traditions and what is expected," said Ferguson, who played under McLeish for Scotland, Rangers and Birmingham. "I saw his interview and it looked to me like he would take it in a minute. If he got offered it, I think he'd be a good choice. "He assembled a good team at Rangers and we had a real togetherness. "He wanted us to work hard and play attacking football. In training, as well as matches, he demanded that you outwork whoever you were up against. "He has more experience now - and if they are looking for someone to take over until the end of the season he's a serious contender."

MLAs flocked to pass an amendment that will allow pigeon racing groups to avail of rates relief being proposed for community and amateur sports clubs. The Rates (Amendment) Bill is before the house for its further consideration stage. It aims to provide 100% rates relief for recreational sports clubs. Some MLAs had their feathers ruffled that pigeon racing is not currently deemed a sport. Ulster Unionist MLA Robin Swann put forward an amendment to allow it to be included so it can avail of the current 80% level of rates relief. Mr Swann, however, was not in the chamber for the debate as he had "flown off to the US" so party colleague Leslie Cree took his perch and spoke on the amendment's behalf. "The minister (Mervyn Storey) has an opportunity to be a trailblazer and an opportunity to be a champion for pigeon men and women," he said. "Pigeon racing was breaking down political, religious and class barriers long before anything or anyone else was." UKIP MLA, and former UUP member, David McNarry quipped that he had never raced a pigeon and "wondered whether communications in my old party are still by way of pigeon carrier". Claire Hanna, from the SDLP, supported the amendment and cooed: "We'll let this one fly, we think the policy does have wings and the clubs should get their rates cheap cheap." MLAs backed the amendment by 55 votes to 29.

Kakao Corp announced Lee Seok-Woo's departure a week after he was charged, but not detained, by prosecutors. Mr Lee had been in charge of the KakaoTalk app until August, when he moved to an advisory role. The company says that its chat app has more than 100 million users. "Lee said he would like to take on new challenges," Kakao Corp said in a statement provided to the Korea Herald newspaper, adding that he was scheduled to formally step down on Saturday. Last week's indictment was the first time the South Korean authorities had charged an internet industry insider with violating the country's Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse Act. The law says mobile service operators must take adequate steps to stop child abuse photos and videos circulating on their platforms, but does not set out specific measures they must take. KakaoTalk allows users to hold both one-to-one and group conversations and to send multimedia content to each other, and thus hosts a huge amount of data. The company had indicated it had taken steps to tackle illegal material. "We are making a genuine effort, by scanning for keywords, looking for malicious links, and allowing users to report objectionable material," the company told the Hankyoreh news site last week. "But requiring us to filter out even more obscene material on a private service necessarily implies a degree of censorship that would infringe on the privacy of users." The indictment will likely raise concerns at other chat apps, which have also had problems tackling youngsters swapping sexually explicit images of themselves and others. KakaoTalk has previously been criticised for not doing enough to protect its members' information. Last year, it faced a user backlash after it emerged that it was handing over communications logs to local authorities on a regular basis. That led to a U-turn, and in October the firm said it would stop complying with wiretapping warrants.

Gills midfielder Bradley Dack put the home side ahead with a first-half free-kick, before Kieron Freeman's equaliser sparked a comeback. United went behind just past the half-hour mark after defender Dan Lafferty was penalised for a foul on Cody McDonald just outside the penalty area and Dack stepped up to curl a right-footed free-kick up and over the wall into the top corner. Sharp went close to an equaliser early in the second half, cutting in from the right to work Jonathan Bond with a left-footed strike. But he turned provider in the 65th minute when his low cross was turned in by Freeman from close range. The Blades were gifted a chance to win the game when Josh Pask inexplicably met a cross with his hand in the 90th minute, and Sharp placed the spot-kick firmly to the keeper's right to give United all three points.

The 52-year-old handed in his resignation earlier this month and had started his 12-month notice period. McCoist remained in charge of the team for the defeat by Queen of the South and Saturday's win against Livingston. "Assistant manager Kenny McDowall will take over his duties until the end of the season," a Rangers statement read. "We would like to thank Ally for all his hard work and dedication over the last few years, but we feel it is now in the best interests of all parties to move on." McCoist, who had been in charge at Rangers since the summer of 2011, was called to a meeting at Ibrox on Sunday by chief executive Derek Llambias and chairman of the football board Sandy Easdale. He was told it would be best for the club if he stood down and was placed on gardening leave. The search for a new manager is under way but McDowall will take charge of the side in the meantime. Media playback is not supported on this device Rangers are nine points behind Scottish Championship leaders Hearts and the Tynecastle side can extend their lead to 12 points if they beat Cowdenbeath on Tuesday. Pressure on the Ibrox boss intensified after a surprise 3-2 defeat by part-timers Alloa Athletic in the Petrofac Training Cup semi-final and, following the defeat by Queens, the manager admitted Hearts were now "strong favourites" for the Championship title and automatic promotion. McCoist was believed to have become alarmed at the number of staff losing their jobs at the club. Bellshill-born McCoist was a Rangers player for 15 years as well as playing for St Johnstone, Sunderland, Kilmarnock and Scotland, for whom he won 61 caps. He had been assistant manager at Ibrox under Walter Smith and stepped up as his successor while Rangers were still in the Scottish Premier League. Administration and subsequent liquidation of the former company that ran the club resulted in Rangers playing in the fourth tier of Scottish football. A high turnover of players ensued in 2012 and McCoist led the side to two consecutive league titles to get Rangers into this season's Championship. And, following the recent losses to Queen of the South and Hearts and confirmation of his resignation, McCoist said he was "not sure" whether he would attend Monday's annual general meeting at Ibrox. Former St Mirren player McDowall joined Rangers as first-team coach under Smith in 2007 and was promoted to assistant manager when McCoist became manager.

The iconic building dominates the centre of the city, and has been at the heart of civic life since its completion in 1906. Political demonstrations, the Christmas market, countless weddings, Remembrance Day ceremonies, a giant Ferris wheel - the City Hall has seen them all. At times, the building's primary purpose as a meeting place for the council seems almost an afterthought. The City Hall is already a popular tourist attraction, with regular guided tours, but the permanent exhibition will add something new. It traces Belfast's development from a hamlet by the River Farset to the vibrant 21st Century city of today. Sixteen rooms, divided into six thematic zones, reflect all aspects of Belfast life, from its industrial heritage to the speech and manners of the people. The exhibition, which combines elements of the City Council's memorabilia archive, is a direct response to an equality impact assessment. All the council's political party's were united in support of the project, which aims to welcome all sections of the city's increasingly diverse community. Historic events, such as the United Irish Rebellion, and the Home Rule crisis and both world wars form an important part of the display. Artefacts such as the table where unionist dignitaries signed the Ulster Covenant, and an ornate dresser intended for use on the Titanic are also on display. Visitors can call into reception in the City Hall to book a slot, or call ahead on 028 9027 0456. Entry is free for individuals but there is a charge for commercial group bookings.

The winner will work with teams across BBC News in London for three months. Last year's winner, Nancy Kacungira, said: "I felt supported as a journalist from the continent, to tell the story I wanted to tell in the way that I felt it should be told." Applications close on 23 March 2016 at 23:59 GMT. The award was established to honour Komla Dumor, a presenter for BBC World News, who died suddenly aged 41 in 2014. Ms Kacungira, a television anchor for Kenya's KTN television channel, was selected from nearly 200 applicants. "It felt really good to be able to tell a story from Africa on such a big platform - my stories were seen and heard on BBC TV, radio and online," she said of her experience. "My own values on reporting about the continent - nuance, balance, and authenticity - were a good match for the BBC's commitment to getting the story right from wherever they report from in the world." The BBC's World Service Group and deputy director of News and Current Affairs Fran Unsworth said: "Komla was a much-loved and respected journalist - not only with his colleagues but also with aspiring journalists and audiences across the world. "His storytelling was compelling and his enthusiasm was infectious, making him one of Africa's leading journalists. "At the BBC, we are committed to continuing Komla's dedication to this continent by launching this award for the second year running. We are searching for a rising star who displays exceptional talent, someone who embodies the spirit of Komla." Komla Dumor was an exceptional Ghanaian broadcaster who in his short life made an extraordinary impact - in Ghana, in Africa and around the world. He represented a confident, savvy and entrepreneurial side of Africa. Through his tenacious journalism and compelling storytelling, Komla worked tirelessly to bring a more nuanced African narrative to the world. The BBC is committed to continuing Komla's legacy. Eligible applicants for the BBC World News Komla Dumor Award have until 23:59 GMT on 23 March 2016 to submit an application.

Anderson and former Trotters striker Dean Holdsworth led a consortium which took control of the club in March. The club had amassed debts of over £170m before the £7.5m deal. "The club has not previously or is currently holding any discussions with a Saudi-based group or their legal representatives regarding a potential takeover," the statement said. Bolton are third in League One, having been relegated from the Championship last season. In September, Anderson told the BBC he was meeting businesspeople from the Far East in a bid to attract more investment to the club. Bolton are still under a transfer embargo that was placed upon the club in December last year for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play obligations. It means the club are unable to pay any fees for players and the Football League keeps a close eye on Bolton's dealings.

Greipel, of the Lotto-Soudal team, surged to the front on the final straight of the flat 182km (113 mile) stage from Noale to Bibione, crossing the line in just over four hours. The 33-year-old cited goals further into the season as his reason for quitting after his third stage win. Bob Jungels retained the overall lead after finishing safely in the bunch. Caleb Ewan finished the stage second, with Giacomo Nizzolo third. Stage 12 result: 1. Andre Greipel (Ger/Lotto) 4hrs 16mins 2. Giacomo Nizzolo (Ita/Trek) Same time 3. Arnaud Demare (Fra/FDJ) 4.

The role of the hormone in helping children with autism has been debated, with studies showing conflicting data. Brain scans, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, hint that there is an effect. The National Autistic Society said research on oxytocin as a treatment was still in its infancy. Oxytocin is naturally produced by the body, triggers labour and is involved in mother and baby bonding. Seventeen children with autism, aged between eight and 16, were given two nasal spray - one containing oxytocin, the other no drugs at all. After taking each one, the impact on brain activity was recorded in a scanner while the children were shown "social" pictures of human faces or "non-social" pictures of cars. The parts of the brain normally associated with social situations appeared more active after the children had been given oxytocin. One of the researchers, Prof Kevin Pelphrey, told the BBC: "We are very excited by the findings, all 17 showed a response, although the response was variable. "There's still lots of questions about oxytocin, but this suggests it enhances social brain functions and decreases non-social functions - helping kids to focus on socially relevant information." Larger trials are taking place to see what the side-effects and benefits of oxytocin might be in children with autism. Exactly how the drug should be used is still up for debate, with some suggestions that it would be best used as an aid during current behavioural therapy rather than as a daily medication. Prof Pelphrey said some parents were giving the drug to their children without medical advice and this was a "terrible idea". "It might have no effect or it might cause damage," he said. However, he added: "The most exciting finding is not oxytocin, but that you can show changes in the brain by a compound. "It changes how we think of autism and how treatable it might be." Carol Povey, director of the National Autistic Society's centre for autism, said: "Research investigating the impact oxytocin can have on people with autism is still in its very early stages. "While the findings of this particular study are interesting, no hard and fast conclusions should be drawn. "Autism is a very complex disability and can present a variety of challenges that extend beyond social difficulties. "It's crucial that those living with the condition have all their needs assessed so that they can access the appropriate support."

The body of Tia Kounota, 27, was found in an Audi in Fentham Road, Erdington, Birmingham, in July 2014. Post-mortem tests suggested she had suffered a head wound before the car was set alight, police said. Damien Dinobewei, 35, who has schizophrenia, admitted manslaughter and was given an indefinite hospital order at Birmingham Crown Court. Dinobewei, of Pershore Road, Stirchley, and Ms Kounota had been in a volatile relationship before she decided to leave, West Midlands Police said. Det Insp Warren Hines said: "I cannot begin to imagine the sense of loss Tia's family feel. "Dinobewei's killing of a young woman with her life ahead of her - a woman who cared deeply for him and should have felt safe in his company - is truly despicable. "Dinobewei's failure to take his medication, coupled with his consumption of illegal drugs, caused a rapid deterioration in his mental health, compounding his paranoia. "I hope that by knowing Dinobewei has been given an indefinite order, preventing him from killing again, will be of some comfort to Tia's family and friends and help them to rebuild their lives. My thoughts remain with them all." Dinobewei had admitted manslaughter at a hearing earlier in the month.

Officials want a defined limit on legal costs in cases where the claims are below £100,000, saying that some lawyers submit bills that charge more than patients receive in compensation. But solicitors warn the move could deny patients access to justice. Figures show the NHS was charged £259m in legal fees for claims in 2013-14. The NHS did recoup £74m by challenging some claims made in 2013-14, but the Department of Health says taking these cases to court is costly and time-consuming and believes further savings could be made. Officials say their proposals, which will be open to public consultation in the autumn, would ensure lawyer's fees are more proportionate and reflect the amount of compensation patients receive They give as an example once case where a patient received £11,800 in damages but the legal fees, which the NHS had to recompense, totalled £175,000. Health Minister, Ben Gummer, said: "Safe, compassionate care is my upmost priority and to achieve this, the NHS must make sure every penny counts. "Unscrupulously, some lawyers have used patient claims to load grossly excessive costs onto the NHS and charge far more than the patient receives in compensation." But a leading clinical negligence solicitor, Terry Donovan from the law firm Kingsley Napley, said costs are sometimes driven up by delays in the NHS admitting liability. He added: "This sounds like another massive attack on access to justice for everybody. "Fees are already tightly controlled, with the courts managing costs carefully as a result of recent reforms. Costs are already capped and limited. "These so-called low value cases under £100,000 still involve cases where people have had serious injuries and lives have been destroyed. "Costs can be very proportionate if the NHS will admit liability promptly when it's appropriate. "But defendants drive up costs if they don't admit liability early on and the case ends up in court." Meanwhile, the Medical Defence Union, which offers doctors guidance on medico-legal issues, supported the move. Dr Matthew Lee, professional services director for the MDU, said: "Patients often need to meet part or all of these costs themselves but the system must provide access to justice where patients have been negligently harmed. "Legal fees must, therefore, be affordable and proportionate. "If it was decided to introduce a well-thought-out, fixed-cost structure for legal costs in clinical negligence claims that could only be a good thing and should result in legal fees becoming more affordable and proportionate to the compensation claimed by the patient."

Last month the Home Secretary criticised Kevin Hurley for "attacking" the leadership of Lynne Owens, the new head of the National Crime Agency. Mr Hurley has written to Mrs May three times demanding an apology for "totally untrue" and "damaging" comments. The Home Secretary said she disagreed with his interpretation of her remarks. The correspondence - obtained by BBC News under the Freedom of Information Act - demonstrates the independent PCC's anger over the issue and how strained his relationship with Mrs May has become. In his first letter to her, on 11 February, Mr Hurley said: "As a consequence of the very grave allegations made... and the extensive coverage in the media... it is essential that you now publish a full and unqualified apology to me." In the Home Secretary's reply, 12 days later, she wrote: "I am sorry that you have chosen to take issue with a small section of my speech," adding: "I strongly disagree with your characterisation of my comments." Mrs May said Mr Hurley's comments about the appointment of Ms Owens "helped to fan the flames of the media's reporting of this issue". Surrey's PCC sent a further letter to the Home Secretary calling again for an apology, but her reply stated she had "nothing further to add". Mr Hurley wrote a third time, last week, and again Mrs May responded by saying she had nothing more to add on the issue.

Trucks will start rolling to some areas but "carefully and cautiously", the UN envoy to Syria Staffan di Mistura told the BBC. Meanwhile, the US has called for all planes to be grounded in key areas of Syria to preserve the truce. International powers will discuss peace efforts on Thursday in New York. The International Syrian Contact Group includes both the US and Russia. There was still hope for an agreement, Mr Mistura added, saying that the US and Russia had "a responsibility". "They have to rein in, they have to convince their own partners that this is serious. The alternative is chaos, is war. So I'm still optimistic." Earlier at the UN, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the future of Syria was "hanging by a thread". He said Monday's attack, which killed 20 civilians, had raised profound doubt over whether Russia and the Syrian government would live up to the terms of the ceasefire deal. US officials believe Russian aircraft were responsible for the attack, near Aleppo. But Russia, a Syrian ally, denies being involved and its defence ministry says a US drone was in the area where the aid convoy was struck. Russian military spokesman Gen Igor Konashenkov did not directly accuse the US of firing but pointedly said that such a drone could carry out high-precision strikes against targets on the ground. At the UN, Mr Kerry said flights should stop "in order to de-escalate the situation and give a chance for humanitarian assistance to flow unimpeded". Aid deliveries to besieged and hard-to-reach areas were a key part of the partial truce brokered by the US and Russia, which lasted just a week. Convoys will resume "as soon as possible", according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Aid will not be delivered to rebel-held Aleppo, which has again been under heavy bombardment. Syria's five-year civil war has left more than 250,000 people dead and displaced more than 11 million others.

The wild child of contemporary music, he delighted in pushing the boundaries to the extent that some of his earlier works were described as unplayable. But he later became an establishment figure and was appointed as Master of the Queen's Music from 2004 to 2014 - the musical equivalent of poet laureate. Maxwell Davies, later known simply as Max, was born in Salford on 8 Sep 1934, the son of a factory worker. He became an authentic musical prodigy as a child. One of his earliest musical experiences was being taken to see a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers when he was just four. Shortly afterwards he began taking piano lessons. He was 12 when his first composition was broadcast by the BBC's Children's Hour. At Leigh Grammar School his interest in music wasn't encouraged, but Davies didn't let that hold him back. He studied independently, taught himself A-level music and reputedly astonished his examiners by demonstrating that he had memorised not only Beethoven's violin concerto but the composer's symphonies as well. He duly won places at both the Royal Manchester College of Music and Manchester University, where he teamed up with three other future composers, Harrison Birtwistle, Elgar Howarth and Alexander Goehr. They were known as "the Manchester School" and set out to frighten the horses. One of Maxwell Davies's earliest compositions, a String Quartet, was submitted to the Society for the Promotion of New Music but rejected as unplayable. In due course he became immensely prolific as a composer, and rarely predictable. Many of his early works were lurid, noisy, brutal and cacophonous. They were first performed by the Pierrot Players, later renamed Fires of London, an ensemble he founded with Harrison Birtwistle though the pair later fell out. His music parodied and distorted medieval and Renaissance music or popular dance tunes, especially foxtrots. In one work a soprano singer dressed in a red nun's habit screamed through a loudhailer. Another work featured a dancer and a solo cello. Some people hated them and the composer found the criticism deeply hurtful. Performances of his work were sometimes punctuated by cries of "rubbish" and "shut up" from the audience. Many walked out of the premiere of Worldes Blis at a BBC Prom in 1969 although Sir Peter had his revenge. Before the second performance he put it about, "mischievously" he said, that he had revised the work, though in fact he had not. The critics said how much better the revised version was. Another controversial early work, Eight Songs for a Mad King, combined monologues spoken, shrieked and gabbled by the mad George III with fragments of Handel's Messiah. Madness was a frequent theme in his early work, along with religion (or at least the religious music of the past) and the rejection of authority. Yet these uncompromisingly modern works went hand in hand with something more approachable. Between 1959 and 1962 Sir Peter was head of music at Cirencester Grammar School, and began writing the first

Arulchelvam Prasanna was pushed from his van and fatally hit his head as it was stolen from outside a Watford cash and carry store, in May 2013. Michael McInerney, 34, of Borehamwood, admitted manslaughter and conspiring to steal. At Luton Crown Court, John Price QC said Mr Prasanna "courageously acted" to stop the driver getting away". Last October, cousins Patrick and James O'Driscoll were jailed for ten-and-a-half years and seven-and-a-half years respectively, after admitting the manslaughter of Mr Prasanna. Patrick O'Driscoll's sentence was increased to 12 years on appeal. The hearing was told how a customer at the Costo car park heard a "nasty crunch" as Mr Prasanna's head hit the ground. McInerney, arrested under a European warrant last December in Corby, Northamptonshire, shouted "move it" as the van sped off, the court heard. Mr Prasanna, a married father-of-one, died 11 days after the attack, at St Mary's Hospital in London. McInerney, who appeared via a video link from Woodhill Prison, in Milton Keynes, had 17 previous convictions for 32 offences, the court heard. When he attacked Sri-Lankan-born Mr Prasanna, McInerney was serving a seven-month suspended sentence for a similar theft in Sheerness, in which the owner who tried to stop him had also fallen into the road. He will serve ten-and-a-half years for manslaughter, two years concurrently for conspiracy to steal and six months consecutive from his previously suspended sentence.

The men, aged 17, 20, 22, 29, 39 and 46, were expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Police have now made a total of 76 arrests after violent scenes followed a pitch invasion at Hampden on Saturday 21 May. The disorder marred the end of the Hibs v Rangers clash, which ended in a 3-2 victory for the Edinburgh side.

It has announced revisions to 10 services from 25 June, with some being rerouted, affecting Coedpoeth, Penycae, Rhostyllen, Llay and other areas. Local MP Susan Elan Jones and AM Ken Skates have written to Arriva and are calling on Wrexham council to step in. Arriva has been asked to comment. Mr Skates said: "In Penycae, these changes will see key areas such as the Afoneitha estate hugely affected, and people fear they will be completely cut off. "Arriva has stated that long-running parking issues hindering access to the estate have contributed to its decision, so I would implore Wrexham council to act as a matter of urgency." Wrexham councillor David A Bithell, lead member for environment and transport, said: "These are commercial decisions taken by Arriva and the council unfortunately has no power to prevent them going ahead."

McShane finished well after Lee Camp kept out Roy Beeren's shot. Jackett, who replaced Alan Stubbs on Friday, saw his side start well, as Richard Wood's close-range header was superbly saved by Ali Al-Habsi. Camp saved Garath McCleary's penalty and John Swift's shot hit the bar as Reading finished strongly. The Royals, who were without a win at Rotherham since September 2000, had 80% of possession in the first half without mustering a shot on target. Rotherham have conceded more goals than any other Football League side, 33 in 14 matches, but they carried the greater goal threat for the first hour with Al-Habsi denying Danny Ward when clean through. The Millers remain five points adrift of Wigan at the foot of the table, while Reading's first win in five moved them up to eighth. Rotherham manager Kenny Jackett: "I felt the work-rate, effort and commitment of the players was very good. We went toe-to-toe with Reading. We had a good number of chances and were a threat from set-pieces. We couldn't convert them. "We are disappointed to lose the game, but the players have to keep up that effort, work-rate and attitude, and not get too disappointed. "There is a lot today we did well as a group. There is enough of the season to get things going. "Yes, I definitely feel I can keep them up. Taking six points out of 39 takes its toll on players. But they can't be disappointed." Reading boss Jaap Stam: "It is a good way to bounce back. You want to win every game, (but) we knew it was going to be very hard, with their new manager with a different style of play. "In the chances that we created we should have at least scored one. It was a very difficult game, they made it difficult in how they played. "They played very direct, got balls into the box because they know we are not the most physical side. That is how certain teams need to play against us. "They made it difficult for us, Ali Al-Habsi made some very good saves for us. We created some very good chances in the second half, we should have scored more than one." Match ends, Rotherham United 0, Reading 1. Second Half ends, Rotherham United 0, Reading 1. Hand ball by Chris Gunter (Reading). Foul by Yann Kermorgant (Reading). Greg Halford (Rotherham United) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Attempt missed. Lee Frecklington (Rotherham United) right footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the right following a corner. Corner, Rotherham United. Conceded by Jordan Obita. Substitution, Reading. George Evans replaces John Swift. John Swift (Reading) is shown the yellow card. Foul by Yann Kermorgant (Reading). Greg Halford (Rotherham United) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Attempt saved. Anthony Forde (Rotherham United) left footed shot from the left side of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Danny Ward with a

The result means they are potentially just one game away from winning promotion to Women's Super League Two. Pompey will now meet the WPL's Northern Division winners in a play-off on Sunday, 24 May, to decide who goes up. Only one team from the third tier will be promoted to WSL 2, provided they meet certain FA criteria. Perry Northeast's Portsmouth side won 18 of their 22 league games this season. Second-placed Brighton & Hove Albion WFC still have one match remaining but are six points behind Pompey.

Research by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) found almost half of 16-24s are living with neck/back pain. Last year's figures show that 28% of 18 to 24-year-olds suffered with back pain. Hayley Raper, a TV producer from Leeds, tells Newsbeat back pain has had a huge effect on her life. "If I'm out on location, the pain can be quite severe," she says. "I'm stood up for long periods of time, I have quite a throbbing pain down my back. "If I'm in the office, I'm having to get up and moving around quite a lot." The rise in back problems in young people is being blamed on the fact that we sit at our desks for longer and are doing less exercise. The BCA claims that on average, people spend 10 hours sitting and fewer than two hours being active. It says that each day we spend 1.8 hours on our phones and tablets, 3.7 hours on our laptops and computers and 1.4 hours gaming. Chiropractor Tim Hutchful says: "We're seeing a rise in the number of people experiencing back and neck-related problems because our modern lifestyle is forcing us to stay seated and I'm concerned that the number of patients under the age of 30 coming through our doors is increasing." Speaking to Newsbeat, Hayley says she's now had to cut back on activities she enjoys. She's had to change which classes she goes to at the gym because the pain is too great and her social life has also been affected. "When there's a night out on the weekend coming up I know I have to take it easy," she says. "On the run-up to the night, I have to rest." • Sit up straight: Relax when sitting into your seat, making sure you have your bum against the seat back with your shoulder blades touching the back rest of the chair. When you're driving the back of the seat should be set slightly backwards, so that it feels natural and your elbows should be at a comfortable and relaxed angle for driving. • Adjust your computer screen: Make sure the top of the screen is level with the eyebrows and the chair is titled slightly forward, allowing for the knees to be lower than the hips and the feet to be flat on the floor. Using a laptop or tablet away from a desk will encourage poor posture, so limit time spent in this way; where possible keep the screen at eye level - try stacking on a pile of books to get the height you need and use a detachable keyboard and mouse. • Take regular breaks: Don't sit for more than 20-30 minutes at a time - stand up to stretch, change position and walk around a little. If you struggle to get away then take time to gently massage the back of your head and neck as you relax your stomach region with slow easy breathing. This will help to improve posture and

Media playback is not supported on this device Is Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian of all time? The US swimmer's 21 gold medals would appear to end the argument, for no-one else has even half as many. But that would be to underestimate the wonders the past 120 years have brought… If you want to turn it into a pure numbers game, here are some of the other leading contenders for the podium: Ukrainian-born gymnast Larisa Latynina (18 medals, nine of them golds); Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov (15 medals, seven golds); and moustachioed US swimmer Mark Spitz (nine golds, a silver and a bronze). But the same opportunities are not available to all athletes in all sports. Athlete Jesse Owens, winner of those four glorious golds in Berlin in 1936, was denied another chance by global conflict and the discrimination the black American suffered when he returned to the US from Hitler's Germany. In the same way, distance runner Paavo Nurmi (nine golds and three silvers between 1920 and 1928) might also have won more, had the Finn not been excluded by officials from the 10,000m in Paris for health reasons, and then banned from the 1932 Olympics for breaking the strict rules governing amateur status after once receiving travel expenses to attend a meet. There are also those who won plenty but, because of when they competed, might not have faced the most arduous of challenges. US athlete Ray Ewry overcame childhood polio and long spells confined to a wheelchair to win three golds in Paris in 1900, three again in St Louis four years later and then two more in 1908, but comparing his deeds to those of 21st Century heroes when his triumphs came in the standing long jump and standing triple jump is an inexact science at best. And what of those who mastered more than one event but could win only a solitary gold? Media playback is not supported on this device Britain's Daley Thompson twice proved himself the greatest decathlete in the world, first at the 1980 Moscow Games aged just 22 and then again in Los Angeles four years later, overcoming bigger and stronger rivals across 10 disciplines and two days. Not all medals are equal. Not all Olympians can race over the same distance in different styles. Only a few can compete in relays. We need more than arithmetic. Nurmi's record on the track may never be matched, not least because he was running in an era before East African competition. That's not to belittle his achievements - he had just 26 minutes to rest between winning the finals of the 1500m and 5,000m in 1924 - but it was a smaller and less diverse field than Hicham El Guerrouj would face when pulling off the same double in 2004. Then there is Carl Lewis, with his nine golds spread across four events over 12 years, seven of them coming in individual events. Media playback is not supported on this device When

The German, 24, will join the Canaries on a two-year deal when his contract at Dortmund runs out on 1 July. He played 29 times for Dortmund II last season under Norwich's new boss Daniel Farke who took over in May. "I'm extremely delighted and very honoured for the opportunity. I'm already counting the days to get started," Zimmermann said. "I've had a really positive first impression, so I'm looking forward to meeting all the guys and I cannot wait to start working." Zimmermann joined Dortmund's reserve team in 2014 after two seasons with Borussia Monchengladbach II where he progressed through the youth teams. Farke said: "He's very big, tall, strong and powerful and he's an intelligent boy. "He was my captain of my under-23 team at Borussia Dortmund, and he fits English football because of his powerful way. "We're very happy he's chosen to come to Norwich."

James O'Brien will serve in the new role created to boost efforts "to safely recover American hostages abroad," it said in statement. It follows criticism over how the government handles hostage situations after a number of deaths this year. In June, the White House gave families permission to make ransom payments. Until that point, the US government had the power to threaten them with prosecution if they tried to pay their relative's captors ransom - although to date the Justice Department has never followed through on this threat. President Barack Obama's administration has drawn criticism for its long-standing policy of prohibiting concessions to militant groups. It has also come under increasing pressure since it was revealed some European governments had been paying Islamic State (IS) militants to free their nationals abducted in Syria and Iraq. The family of US journalist James Foley, who was beheaded by IS a year ago, said they felt they had no-one "accountable for Jim" during the time he was being held hostage. The father of Kayla Mueller, an American aid worker who died whilst held in IS captivity in February, has also expressed frustration with US policies regarding hostages. "They put policy in front of American citizens' lives," Carl Mueller told NBC Today, two weeks after his daughter's death was confirmed. The policy changes announced two months ago said the administration needed to enhance its focus "on diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe return of American hostages to their families". In a statement released on Friday, the White House said Mr O'Brien was "uniquely qualified to serve in this position given his extensive background in diplomacy and international negotiations". Mr O'Brien, a former special presidential envoy for the Balkans, has been instructed to work directly with families of hostages and help synchronise efforts to to secure the release of their family members.

Official figures show 74 outbreaks have been reported in England in the past week, with most in care homes. Meanwhile, doctors at Southampton General Hospital have warned the virus has mutated to avoid the immunity provided by the flu jab. Public Health England said the jab would still offer "some protection" and was the best option available. There has not been a major flu season in the UK since the winter of 2010-11. Cases remain below the level seen then, but are already higher than the peak from the past three flu seasons. Increases in weekly flu cases have been reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but remain stable in Scotland. Public Health England data show 107 people have been admitted to hospital in the past week. Doctors will be closely watching the figures as children return to school for an indication of how bad the flu season will be. The main circulating flu virus this winter is influenza A type H3N2, which disproportionately affects the elderly. It has been the source of mounting concern that strains of the virus have mutated to make the seasonal flu jab less effective. The US Centres of Disease Control has warned that half of H3N2 viruses tested there were "drifted strains" which were different to the one protected by the flu jab. Of 24 samples tested by Public Health England, five are of drifted strains. Dr Richard Pebody, head of seasonal flu surveillance at Public Health England, said: "This indicates a proportion of circulating flu viruses circulating in the UK are likely to be drifted. "Further analysis will take place, but it is not clear yet if these drift variants will become the dominant strain nor if such a drift will result in reduced effectiveness of the vaccine. "Existing vaccine is likely to still provide some protection and getting vaccinated remains the best way to protect yourself from flu." Doctors at Southampton General Hospital have warned of a "significant rise" in admissions and put part of the blame on flu mutating. Dr Ben Marshall, a specialist in respiratory medicine at the hospital, said: "We have seen the number of patients, mainly those who have respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD, being admitted as medical emergencies increase from 25-to-30-a-day to more than 50." He said half of cases were H3N2.

Lines into London Bridge station were shut for safety and services cancelled, following the discovery of the 50cm-wide hole at Forest Hill, south-east London, on Thursday. It comes after 13ft-deep hole opened in the same area on 18 July, also forcing lines into London Bridge to be shut. All lines into London Bridge re-opened on Friday morning.

Depay, a £25m signing from PSV in 2015, has played just 20 minutes for United in the Premier League this season. But the 22-year-old came off the bench in Luxembourg to score with a header and free-kick to secure victory. Arjen Robben had given the Dutch the lead only for Maxime Chanot to level with a penalty before the break. Joshua Brenet was deemed to have clipped Daniel da Mota, which gave the defender an opportunity to score from the spot, but it was not enough for a Luxembourg side who have now gone nine matches without a win. The introduction of Depay after the break swung the match in the visitors' favour, moving the Netherlands on to seven points, three behind leaders France, and above third-placed Sweden on goal difference.

The 26-year-old victim, from Willenhall, remains in a critical condition after he was attacked in The Moorfield on Friday. Hamza Mohumed, 24, of The Bentree, Stoke Aldermoor, was arrested on Sunday morning. He has been remanded into custody and will appear at Warwick Crown Court on 28 September. Police are still appealing for witnesses.

The baby was infected in the womb while the mother was travelling in Latin America, though state officials have not identified where. The defect causes abnormally small heads and other developmental damage. Florida Governor Rick Scott also announced four more people had contracted the Zika virus, bringing the state's total to 21 cases. Harris County, where the baby was born, now has two reported cases of babies born with microcephaly. The case is the first Zika-related death reported in Texas. The Zika virus, frequently transmitted by mosquitoes, often causes no symptoms, but is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. In a statement, the Texas Department of Health Services said there was no risk of locally contracted Zika in Texas. There are 97 cases of the virus in Texas. The Florida Department of Health said officials believe the active transmissions are likely only taking place within the Wynwood neighbourhood in Miami-Dade County. Governor Scott urged Congress and President Obama to take action. "This is not only an issue affecting us here in Florida," the governor said in a statement. "This is a national issue." Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton echoed the governor's plea while on the campaign trail, calling on congress to hold a special session to pass a Zika funding bill. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said nationwide there are 15 cases of Zika-related birth defects and six pregnancies losses associated with infection. The baby's death comes a day after Florida health officials identified a man in West Palm Beach who had contracted the virus. Florida is the only state in the US to have local cases of Zika.

Robert Clarke, 23, of Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, was arrested while trying to leave the UK for the Middle East to fight so-called Islamic State. Clarke was about to board the flight in September when he was detained. He was charged in December with wilfully obstructing an anti-terrorism stop and search examination. Westminster Magistrates' Court heard how Clarke planned to join up with Kurdish forces fighting in Syria. His solicitor told the court he had received death threats from individuals purporting to be Islamic extremists after reports of his arrest emerged. Clarke was sentenced to a 12-month community order with 50 hours unpaid work for an offence under the Terrorism Act of failing to give officers his mobile phone pin when required. He was also banned from leaving the UK for the length of the order. Louise Gray, prosecuting, said Clarke came to the attention of police in July 2016 when it was thought he was considering travelling to Syria to fight with Kurdish forces. Officers visited Clarke on several occasions and he told them he was booked on a flight a few days before he was due to travel. When stopped at the airport, he refused to give officers his iPhone pin number saying he had forgotten it, that it required fingerprint recognition, and giving them a number that did not work. The court heard he had still not provided the correct number. Korina Claire, defending, said Clarke had believed his intentions were good and he had planned to go to Syria to "assist victims of war". She said his luggage contained medical supplies, which he planned to donate, but also "military paraphernalia" and things to "defend himself with". He was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £85.

Saints started strongly and took the lead when Maya Yoshida smashed home Sadio Mane's centre. Wanyama received a straight red from referee Mark Clattenburg for diving in on West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet. The hosts survived a late scare when defender Cedric sliced a clearance narrowly past his own post. Striker Emmanuel Emenike - a January arrival on loan from Fenerbahce - made his debut for the Hammers, but he missed the opportunity to earn a point for his side when he headed wide from Enner Valencia's cross. The victory lifts Southampton to seventh in the Premier League table, just one place and two points behind their opponents. West Ham will be disappointed not to take anything from the game after playing the last 37 minutes with an extra man. Wanyama - in his third season at St Mary's - is one of Southampton's senior players and can be a highly effective operator at the base of midfield, but his appetite for a tackle can also be his undoing. Having already been dismissed against Bournemouth and Norwich this season, Wanyama became the first player since Wes Brown in 2013-14 to receive three red cards in the same season. In truth, it was perhaps a case of the player's reputation preceding him, as Wanyama's challenge didn't appear to make significant contact with Payet, but Mark Clattenburg - whose tally of five red cards this season is the second-highest among referees - decided that the tackle was worthy of a straight red. That Southampton were able to see out the remainder of the match with 10 men owed much to another excellent performance from their back four, plus goalkeeper Fraser Forster. Media playback is not supported on this device Since Forster returned from patellar tendon surgery last month, the team has recorded five clean sheets in a row - roughly seven and a half hours of football without conceding. It wasn't one of Forster's busier evenings - though he did show his class with a brilliant reflex stop from a Winston Reid header - as centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Jose Fonte dominated Hammers strikers Enner Valencia and substitutes Emenike and Andy Carroll. Media playback is not supported on this device For West Ham, this was a missed opportunity to overhaul Manchester United in fifth place - and the Hammers will rue their profligacy in front of goal. Slaven Bilic's side had 18 shots - but only found the target with two. Enner Valencia had been in excellent form, with four goals in his previous four games, but here the Ecuadorian striker was uncharacteristically wayward, shanking an effort wide from the edge of the area when well placed. Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "I'm very pleased with the final result. It was a difficult game from the start, more difficult after the red card to Victor Wanyama. "But even with one less on the pitch we had the best chances to score a second. We showed very good defensive composure, good defending. I

Media playback is not supported on this device Farah, 33, won the event in 2011 but had to settle for second earlier this year behind American Garrett Heath. Scotland's Callum Hawkins, who finished ninth in this year's Olympic marathon, will also compete in the men's race. Hawkins finished third at the European Cross Country Championships in Sardinia last Sunday. Andy Vernon, who came fifth, will also compete for Britain in the Edinburgh XCountry race, along with Ben Connor, Dewi Griffiths and Ross Millington, who helped GB win team gold in Sardinia alongside Hawkins and another Scot, Andrew Butchart. European 5,000m bronze medallist Steph Twell and Gemma Steel, who won the Edinburgh event in 2014, will head up Britain's women's team. Farah, the only Briton to have won the senior men's race in the Scottish capital, said: "Holyrood Park is always a great venue and I'm sure the course will offer the usual challenges. "I have been back in full training for the past few weeks and this event will offer me a good opportunity to measure my fitness and see how training is going ahead of the 2017 track season." Hawkins, 24, added: "It will be a great way to kick-start 2017. It's a good opportunity to compete back on home soil; it's an event I always enjoy racing in. "This year has been incredible for me and hopefully I will continue to head in the right direction in the New Year."

The site, at Ardnamurchan, is thought to be more than 1,000 years old. Artefacts buried alongside the Viking in his boat suggest he was a high-ranking warrior. Archaeologist Dr Hannah Cobb said the "artefacts and preservation make this one of the most important Norse graves ever excavated in Britain". Dr Cobb, from the University of Manchester, a co-director of the project, said: "This is a very exciting find." She has been excavating artefacts in Ardnamurchan for six years. The universities of Manchester, Leicester, Newcastle and Glasgow worked on, identified, or funded the excavation. Archaeology Scotland and East Lothian-based CFA Archaeology have also been involved in the project which led to the find. The term "fully-intact", used to describe the find, means the remains of the body along with objects buried with it and evidence of the boat used were found and recovered. The Ardnamurchan Viking was found buried with an axe, a sword with a decorated hilt, a spear, a shield boss and a bronze ring pin. About 200 rivets - the remains of the boat he was laid in - were also found. Previously, boat burials in such a condition have been excavated at sites on Orkney. Until now mainland excavations were only partially successful and had been carried out before more careful and accurate methods were introduced. Other finds in the 5m-long (16ft) grave in Ardnamurchan included a knife, what could be the tip of a bronze drinking horn, a whetstone from Norway, a ring pin from Ireland and Viking pottery. Dozens of pieces of iron yet to be identified were also found at the site. The finds were made as part of the Ardnamurchan Transition Project (ATP) which has been examining social change in the area from the first farmers 6,000 years ago to the Highland Clearances of the 18th and 19th centuries. Viking specialist Dr Colleen Batey, from the University of Glasgow, has said the boat was likely to be from the 10th Century AD. Dr Oliver Harris, project co-director from the University of Leicester's School of Archaeology and Ancient History, reinforced the importance of the burial site. He said: "In previous seasons our work has examined evidence of changing beliefs and life styles in the area through a study of burial practices in the Neolithic and Bronze age periods 6,000-4,500 years ago and 4,500 to 2,800 years ago respectively. "It has also yielded evidence for what will be one of the best-dated Neolithic chambered cairns in Scotland when all of our post-excavation work is complete. "But the find we reveal today has got to be the icing on the cake."

Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust recently received a report of a dead otter on a road in Gedling, Nottingham. It said that while it was an upsetting discovery it proved for the first time that otters have been in the city. While otters are known to live downstream on the Trent, this is the first proof they are further upstream. Erin McDaid, from the trust, said: "Whilst a sad report, the fact remains this is the first confirmed report we've received of otters in this immediate area. "We have received reports of otters further downstream and closer to the Trent at Gunthorpe - but only anecdotal evidence of otters in this area so, all in all, this is an interesting record." Otters only returned to the county in the late 1990s, and road deaths have often provided the best evidence they remain in Nottinghamshire. Mr McDaid added: "I have only seen otters in a remote area of Scotland, so to think we have them living here in Nottinghamshire, so close to the city is amazing. "It's sad when creatures such as otters are killed on our roads, but they fact that they have returned to our rivers and streams is a real conservation success story."

Tiny satellite tags have tracked months-old animals in the uncertain period when they leave US coastal waters and head out into the wider Atlantic Ocean. The data suggests the loggerheads can spend quite some time in the Sargasso Sea, possibly living in amongst floating mats of sargassum seaweed. The observations are reported in a journal of the Royal Society. “This has been a fun study because the data suggest the turtles are doing something a little bit unexpected to what everyone had assumed over the past few decades, and it boils down to having the right technology to be able to follow the animals,” said lead author Dr Kate Mansfield from University of Central Florida, Orlando. Scientists have long struggled to track the earliest years of Atlantic loggerheads (Caretta caretta). After emerging from their nests on Florida’s beaches, the infant turtles, or neonates, make a dash for the water and head out on a great adventure. Precisely where they go and what they do with their time before returning as large juveniles to the US seaboard has been something of a mystery. Genetics studies, bycatch, strandings and opportunistic sightings offshore have given broad hints – that they travel in a huge circle within the currents associated with the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, reaching the Azores and Cape Verde before heading back to the Gulf of Mexico and Florida. Tracking by satellite would give more definitive answers. However, attaching data tags to turtles that are just a few months old, and growing rapidly, is very tricky. But by using flexible mounts and preparation techniques usually found in a manicurist’s salon, Dr Mansfield’s team got the tags to stay on the animals’ shells for up to 220 days. And it is with this new data that the scientists can see the young turtles dropping out of the gyre’s predominant currents into the middle of the Atlantic – into what is often referred to as the Sargasso Sea. The way the tags worked indicated also that the loggerheads mostly stayed at the sea surface. This could be seen in the temperature recordings as well, although these readings were quite a bit higher than expected. This has led the team to hypothesise that the turtles are living in and around the great mats of sargassum found in the central Atlantic. The activity is well known and assumed in young turtles to have something to do with the protection from predation and foraging opportunities that the seaweed offers. But Dr Mansfield believes there may be thermal benefits for these cold-blooded creatures, too. “Their survival, their metabolism, their feeding behaviour – everything is enhanced by optimal temperatures. And the sargassum is almost like a warm, floating micro-habitat. The mats trap water where you can get localised warming,” she told BBC News. “We actually did a down-and-dirty experiment with sargassum in a bucket of water alongside a water bucket without sargassum, and, sure enough, you get a temperature difference that could explain what we saw from the

Victoria Cherry, 44, of Fulwood, Lancashire, has not been seen since October 2015. A 43-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the search of a property in Toronto Street, Bolton, said Greater Manchester Police. A spokesman said the investigation was being treated as a "non-body murder" and appealed for information. Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said: "The focus of our investigation has now changed and we remain keen to speak to anyone who may have any information about what has happened to Victoria. "I am urging anyone who has any knowledge of Victoria's movements since her disappearance, or any information - no matter how insignificant you feel it may be - to please get in touch."

The 33-year-old striker has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's game against Slovakia on Tuesday after injuring his calf. "He has a tear in his calf, but we have no timescale," Ipswich physio Matt Byard told the club website. "We are looking to get him scanned again on Tuesday," he continued. "We will know more from there." Ipswich face Wolves on Saturday as they continue their push for the play-offs, with the club just four points away from sixth place. "Needless to say, there has to be a concern about him for the weekend," Byard added.

The claim: British Gas has been forced to increase prices because of rising distribution costs and government policy. Reality Check verdict: Most of the increased costs came from Centrica having to pay extra costs for renewable energy. Iain Conn, chief executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas, initially said the increase was not due to the electricity being more expensive, blaming the increase instead on the cost of getting the electricity to people's homes and the cost of government policy. British Gas said that while its wholesale cost of electricity had fallen £36 per average domestic customer since 2014, its other costs had risen by £98 per customer. Late in the day, Centrica said that £53 of that £98 was due to its need to buy Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs), which are certificates that companies need to buy in order to meet their obligations for generating energy from renewable sources. Before revealing that, Centrica had cited the regulator Ofgem's latest supplier cost index, which showed that from May 2016 to May 2017, costs of providing dual fuel for energy suppliers had risen by 15%. Handily, Ofgem breaks down that 15% cost increase into what has caused costs to rise. It turns out that all of that increase in costs has come from increases in wholesale energy costs over the year. But we know that as a result of the way it buys energy, British Gas did not experience an increase in wholesale energy costs. In fact, Iain Conn said: "We have seen our wholesale costs fall by about £36 on the typical bill since the beginning of 2014." Network costs and costs of government obligations completely cancel each other out over the past year, making no difference to the average consumer bill at all. Comparing costs with May 2016 may not be the most helpful figure - British Gas has announced price freezes twice during that period. In December 2016 it froze prices until April - since then Ofgem's supplier cost index has fallen by 9%. Then in February it extended the freeze until August - since then the index has fallen by 6%. So according to the regulator, costs are well below the level at which British Gas felt it could freeze prices. Centrica's release on Tuesday gave a bit more detail of the reason for the rise in electricity prices, saying: "The price rise reflects increasing delivery and environmental and social policy costs since 2014, and also the growing additional costs related to the UK smart meter rollout." The cost of getting electricity to people's homes is significant - Ofgem estimates that it's about a quarter of an electricity bill. Moving electricity and gas round the country is known as transmission. The very last leg of the journey into people's homes and businesses is known as distribution. Since the start of 2014, Ofgem says that transmission has become more expensive while distribution is cheaper. Overall the difference is estimated at about £9 per customer bill. We do not

Issa Timamy, governor of Lamu County where the town is located, is due to appear in court on Thursday. President Uhuru Kenyatta has blamed "local political networks" for the violence. But the Somali Islamist group, al-Shabab, said it was behind the attacks. President Kenyatta has dismissed al-Shabab's claims because members of one ethnic group were targeted in the attacks. Most of the dead were ethnic Kikuyus, like the president. Non-Muslims were singled out to be killed. Mr Timamy belongs to the United Democratic Front (UDF), an affiliate of Mr Kenyatta's governing Jubilee coalition. Opposition parties have ridiculed Mr Kenyatta's claim and opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for dialogue with the government to address the security failings. The authorities also announced on Wednesday that they had arrested 13 alleged separatists accused of planning more attacks on the coast. In a statement, the interior ministry said those arrested were suspected of plotting "ethnic cleansing" attacks and were members of the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC), a coastal separatist group. On Tuesday, five people were killed in attack by an armed gang on the village of Witu, about 15km (nine miles) from the town of Mpeketoni. Last week's attacks in Mpeketoni started on the evening of 15 June as locals were watching a football World Cup match on television. Gunmen went on to carry out further assaults in villages nearby the next day. The Kenyan government has since issued advice urging people to watch World Cup matches at home rather than gathering in bars or others public places.

Representatives from rugby union, rugby league, American football, ice hockey, and Australian rules football met in Dublin on Thursday. Earlier this year a panel of experts suggested ways to address what is becoming a growing issue in sport. Thursday's meeting was aimed at looking into how best to put those recommendations in place. "Concussion is a top priority for all sports, and rugby continues to collaborate with other sports and leading medical and scientific experts to ensure the very best programmes are implemented to protect participants at all levels," said World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont. Several recommendations were put forward in April by the Concussion in Sports Group (CISG), a panel of experts which draws on data and research to come up with suggested ways forward. "While providing consensus guidance of what sports should do, it does not offer guidance on how to implement its recommendations, which is why sports are keen to collaborate," a World Rugby spokesperson said. In 2016, some 5,000 former American football players successfully sued the NFL for $1bn (£700m), claiming it hid the dangers of repeated head trauma. In March, three Australian National Rugby League sides were given record fines for breaching concussion protocols and Uefa recently has commissioned a research project to examine the links between dementia and playing football. Rugby's concussion reviews are 'not fit for purpose' and the sport is becoming 'unplayable', according to a leading expert. In January, World Rugby introduced heavier sanctions for high tackles in an attempt to lessen the incidence of concussion in its sport. World Rugby, meanwhile, has approved the addition of six law amendments around the scrum and ruck for a global trial in a bid to make the game easier to play and referee. Some of the changes will also address player welfare, the governing body hopes. The changes will be trialled in the northern hemisphere from 1 August and extended to the southern hemisphere from 1 January and will include the end-of-year internationals in Europe. The law changes are:

The train operator initially said it wanted to store all bikes in what is known as a "bike box" - meaning bikes would have to be dismantled. But cycling groups and London's Mayor Boris Johnson both criticised the move. Eurostar said it would continue to take fully-assembled bikes after it admitted the change "concerned some passengers". The company had intended for its change of policy around bike storage to come into force on 1 November. It wanted cyclists to remove the wheels of their bikes, place them in a bike box, and then reassemble them when they reached their destination. The company argued this would allow it to carry more bikes and utilise luggage space more effectively. But the move was criticised by cycling charity CTC who said it would discourage cyclists from using the service as some passengers would find it "too difficult" and an inconvenience. The charity set up a campaign which accrued 9,700 signatures of support from the cycling community, and called for Eurostar to reverse its decision. Meanwhile, Mr Johnson said the move "undermines Eurostar's green pretensions" and the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, as well as Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo, were also against the change. A Eurostar spokesman said: "After careful thought and planning we have taken the decision to continue to allow fully mounted bikes on board but of course this can only be a small number because of the space constraints. "We always listen carefully to feedback." The operator's long-standing policy has been for cyclists to pay a £30 fee for their bike to be carried on their train via a registered luggage system. The bike is hung on a storage rack by its tyres. CTC chief executive Paul Tuohy said: "It's fantastic news that the views of so many of our members and other cyclists across Europe have been listened to. "This proves how a successful, well-run campaign can be a massive force for good and make things happen."

They had been training on Tullan Strand on Saturday morning and had entered the water to cool down after their session. Surfers, one of whom was a crew member with Bundoran RNLI, entered the water and helped the footballers to safety. Both the inshore lifeboat from Bundoran and a Sligo based rescue helicopter attended the scene. The lifeboat crew gave first aid to eight of the players, some whom were bruised and had swallowed sea water, before ambulances arrived. A number of the casualties were taken to Sligo University Hospital as a precaution. Following the incident, Bundoran RNLI helm James Cassidy warned potential visitors to the area about the potential dangers: "We would remind locals and visitors alike that Tullan Strand and particularly the area along the cliffs is notorious for rip currents and under currents and is really not suitable for swimming. "Rips are strong currents running out to sea which can catch even the most experienced beachgoers out. "Should you get caught in a rip, the best advice is to stay calm and don't panic. If you can stand, wade. Don't try to swim. "If you have an inflatable or board, keep hold of it to help you float. Raise your hand and shout for help loudly. Don't swim directly against the rip or you will get exhausted. "Swim parallel to the beach until free of the rip, then make for shore," he added.

Yachtsman Paul Goslin's daughter Claire called on rescuers not to give up. Contact with the 40ft Cheeki Rafiki yacht was lost on Friday after it got into difficulties 620 miles (1,000km) east of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. The search for Mr Goslin and three other men was called off in the early hours of Sunday morning local time. Miss Goslin, a second-year nursing student at Plymouth University, thanked the coastguard for their "fantastic" work so far. "But I know what dad's like," she added. "He will be doing anything in his power to make sure he and his fellow three crew mates are safe. "Don't give up, they need your help." She said she had been told by the yacht's owners Stormforce Coaching the life raft was designed for 12 people so would have had plenty of space and provisions for her father and the three other men. The four crew members are Mr Goslin, 56, from West Camel, Somerset; Andrew Bridge, 22, from Farnham, Surrey, the yacht's skipper; Steve Warren, 52, also from Somerset, and 23-year-old James Male, from Southampton. The men were sailing back from a regatta in Antigua when the boat began taking on water and diverted to the Azores. Their families believe they escaped into an on-board life raft. The coastguard said locator beacons activated by the crew indicated they were in a position 1,000 miles east of Massachusetts on Friday morning. "Those beacons don't work if they're wet so we've got reasons to believe they're in the life raft because they're dry and they're together," Miss Goslin added. Mr Male's father told ITV Meridian: "They waited until the first beacon had run out before they actually set the second beacon - that's rational-thinking people." A spokeswoman for the coastguard said on Monday morning that unless there were "new developments about the case" the search would not be resumed. The mother of skipper Andrew Bridge, Mary Bridge, said: "I'm a bit numb actually. We wanted him back. "We know they've worked hard for two days but my husband and I and my other son and the other families all wish them to resume the search for these four men." Mr Goslin's wife Cressida said the search should be resumed for a couple of days, adding: "We just feel that they're not being given a chance. "If we don't try to rescue them we're just going to leave them to starve to death." The RYA said typical supplies on a life raft would include survival suits, water, food, flares and a first aid kit. Three US and Canadian aircraft and three merchant vessels looked for the men on Friday and Saturday but called off the search on Sunday at 5am local time. The yacht was facing 15ft waves, 50mph winds and sea and air temperatures of 15C (60F), the US Coastguard said. The rescuers say they consider "weather conditions, emergency equipment, and the anticipated condition of the people for whom we are searching". Calling off the hunt

Studies showed the fish population on a River Kennet tributary had not recovered following a series of pollution incidents. The work involves creating a series of pools as "steps" for fish to swim upstream at Stratfield Mortimer Weir. Charlotte Hitchmough of Action for the River Kennet said the aim was to "remove barriers to fish movement". The week-long work on Foudry Brook involves building a "passage" for species such as perch and brown trout. Ms Hitchmough said: "A huge number of fish died but the fish population hasn't recovered as we would hope - one of the reasons is they can't easily swim upstream to repopulate the whole river. "Healthy rivers are good for all wildlife, this is an example of a relatively small river which, with simple interventions, could be a lot better."

He was phoned in his Eyemouth home on Monday by someone claiming to be a police officer. The caller told him there was a problem with his bank account and that someone would come to his home the following day to collect his bank card. The pensioner was then visited at 14:15 on Tuesday and his card taken. All his savings were later removed. The man who went to his door has been described as being in his early 40s, about 5ft 9in with a medium build, clean shaven face and olive-skinned complexion. He was wearing a black tammy hat, black trousers and spoke with a Scottish accent. Det Con Barry Mercer said: "The victim has been left devastated at the theft of his savings and we are pursuing various lines of inquiry to identify the culprits. "If you recognise the description of the male who attended at the man's home, or if you have any information relevant to this investigation then please get in touch. "While the caller may have sounded extremely convincing I would like to remind the public that neither police, nor banks will contact you by phone to request you hand over your bank card or account details." He advised anyone receiving a similar call to hang up and contact the police immediately.

Those displaced are headed towards the city of Samarra, the UN said, but many families are stranded at checkpoints. Aid convoys carrying relief supplies are being sent to the area by UN agencies to help those affected. The operation to retake Tikrit, involving some 30,000 soldiers and Shia militiamen, is now in its fourth day. They are trying to encircle the IS fighters, but their advance has been slow due to the roadside bombs and booby traps planted since the city was overrun last June, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut. Iraqi jets and helicopters are supporting the ground troops but US-led coalition aircraft are not involved. Militants also set fire to oil wells outside the city on Thursday, officials said, creating clouds of smoke in an apparent bid to obscure targets from air strikes. Iraqi Gen Abdul Wahhab al-Saadi told state TV that the burning oil wells would not affect the operation. But as the fighting continues, concerns for the civilian population are growing. A UN statement said: "Military operations in and around Tikrit have precipitated displacement of an estimated 28,000 people to Samarra. "Field reports indicate that additional displacements are under way and that yet more families remain stuck at checkpoints." The White House and human rights organisations have also warned against the danger of sectarian reprisals by the Shia militia in the predominantly Sunni area. Militia leaders have vowed to seek revenge for the massacre of hundreds of soldiers, most of them Shia, at Camp Speicher near Tikrit in June. On Wednesday, a Iraqi army source told the BBC that government forces had taken control of the village of al-Maibdi, on the road between Tikrit and the Kurdish-controlled city of Kirkuk, as well as the nearby Ajil and Alas oilfields. The road was a key supply route for IS between Salahuddin and Diyala provinces, the source said. Another official told All Iraq News that the villages of Siha and Mazraat al-Rahim, just to the north of Tikrit in al-Alam district, had also been retaken. However, the soldiers and militiamen have not breached IS defences around Tikrit and al-Dour, a town 19km (12 miles) to the south, which officials say is another stronghold of the jihadist group. Tikrit, the hometown of former president Saddam Hussein, is a key target for the Iraqi government if it wants to retake Mosul, Iraq's second city, which was also seized by IS last year.

The Sheffield Hallam University team, backed by Cancer Research UK, have a hunch that physical activity can help the body stop tumours from spreading. They are asking 50 men with prostate cancer that has not yet spread to put the theory to the test for 12 months. They hope to show that aerobic exercise is a treatment in its own right and should be offered on the NHS. Half of the men will have weekly supervised exercise sessions, while the other 25 will only be given information about the benefits of exercise for cancer patients. The researchers will be monitoring the men closely and will check their blood for levels of a protein called PSA, which can help show if prostate cancer is growing and spreading. If the results are promising and the men can stick with the exercise regime, the researchers say they will do a larger, full-scale trial. Study leader Dr Liam Bourke said: "It's early days yet, but the data that we do have suggests that exercise may actually be beneficial in terms of helping regulate the way that cancer cells grow and repair DNA. "It builds on what we already know and is the first step towards finding out whether exercise could be an effective and practical NHS treatment for localised prostate cancer." Prof Malcolm Mason, of Cancer Research, UK said: "Taking exercise is good for all of us, whether or not we have cancer - but this interesting study could help discover whether it's particularly helpful and a viable, additional treatment for some prostate cancer patients."

More than 70% of parents believe the amount they have to pay for uniforms creates a financial burden. The figures come from a Irish League of Credit Unions' (ILCU) survey of 1,000 parents on back-to-school costs. It found that many parents felt trying to meet school expenses put pressure on other areas of their family budget. Seventeen per cent of parents were sacrificing their spending on groceries as a result of back-to-school costs. And one Belfast mother said she could not afford to take her children on a holiday due to the cost of uniforms. The survey found that 74% of parents feel schools are not doing enough to support them in keeping costs down. On average, primary school parents spent £96 on uniforms for each child, secondary school parents spent £180. As a result, a quarter of parents said they would find themselves in debt to cover the costs, with 12% considering using a moneylender this year. Jane Crowder from Belfast has one child attending primary school and three at secondary level. She said her spend was "probably more" than £600, and she had found herself in debt as a result of the costs of sending her children to school. "I would usually get a small loan to help me towards the uniforms," she said. "I start thinking about school uniforms about the start of May - you have to stretch it out across the summer. "If you've got a bill one week you're not able to go out and buy a pair of shoes, for example. That will just have to wait until next week. "And over the summer I just can't afford to take the kids anywhere on holiday because of the cost of school uniforms." Brian McCrory, the president of the ILCU said costs quickly stacked up for families when other school expenses were also considered. The survey found that school lunches cost primary school parents £131 and secondary school parents £156. And parents of primary children spent £86 on school trips, while the cost for parents of older children was £224. "Families are under enormous financial pressures throughout the year, but particularly when kids are going back to school and especially if there's more than one child in the household," Mr McCrory said. "Peer pressure dictates to parents that children have to get the best [items], probably branded." But he added that parents were finding they could save money by shopping online. "We recommend that you check what you have left over from last year and then make a list of everything you need to buy and stick to that list."

The Heed controlled the game early on but struggled to make their dominance pay as Patrick McLaughlin and Danny Johnson spurned good chances. Reece Thompson punished them for not taking advantage just after the half-hour mark, nipping in front to poke home Taron Hare's fierce delivery from the left. James Bolton hit the bar with a header and Gateshead camped in the hosts' half for long periods after the break, but it was to no avail as North Ferriby climbed one place to 23rd.

The crash happened at about 17:00 GMT on Monday on Oldbury Road in Rowley Regis. West Midlands Ambulance Service said it arrived at the scene within six minutes of being called and found the rider in cardiac arrest but it was "not possible to save him". No-one in either of the cars was injured, according to a spokesman for the service. Updates on this story and more from the Black Country West Midlands Police said the man who died in the collision, opposite the junction with Summer Road, was 39 years old and from the local area. PC Chris Ridge said: "We understand the man was riding with another biker along Oldbury Road towards Blackheath when the collision occurred."

DONG Energy said a commercial feasibility study looking into wind speeds was at an early stage. While opportunities were "significant", a government spokesman said fisheries and shipping links must be protected. Politicians last month granted Manx Tidal Energy Ltd a licence to explore the potential of harvesting tidal energy in the north of the island. The government said any wind farm development would require a full environmental impact assessment. The 12 nautical miles surrounding the Isle of Man are controlled by the island, which has responsibility for marine planning. The Manx government has previous stated that any electricity generated by wind farms would go directly into the UK's National Grid. A wind farm development would be expected to create jobs and generate an annual income expected to run into millions of pounds, said the Manx government.

Guptill, 28, has not played a Test since the 2013 tour to England, but last month hit 237 against West Indies, the highest score in World Cup history. Paceman Matt Henry gets a maiden Test call and uncapped all-rounder Mitchell Santner is in the one-day squad. The World Cup runners-up will play two Tests, five one-dayers and a Twenty20 international from 21 May to 23 June. "This is a stable, established Test side but there will be opportunities for contenders," said coach Mike Hesson. Of Guptill, who averages 39 in one-day internationals but only 29 from his 31 Tests, Hesson added: "Martin's a classically styled batsman and there's really no reason why he can't be as influential in the longer game as he is in the short." Guptill's recall may mean Derbyshire have to make an additional overseas signing, as he had originally signed to play in their first six County Championship games but will now only be available for three. Brendon McCullum captains the 15-man squad but is one of several players who will miss the two warm-up matches ahead of the opening Test at Lord's on 21 May because of Indian Premier League commitments. Wicketkeeper BJ Watling will take charge of those fixtures, with Santner and uncapped pace bowlers Jacob Duffy and Ben Wheeler joining the squad. Fast bowler Adam Milne, who was ruled out of the World Cup with a heel injury and replaced by Henry before the semi-final against South Africa, has been included in the limited-overs squad, while the only World Cup squad member not involved is seamer Kyle Mills. Test squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Luke Ronchi (wk), Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling (wk), Kane Williamson. ODI and T20 squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Adam Milne, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson.

Ofqual is changing its system this summer, so that new marks can only be issued if a "marking error" is found. Their research shows independent schools seek twice as many GCSE reviews as comprehensive schools request. But Chris King, chairman of the independent schools body the HMC, said the system would be less fair. And heads from the ASCL union said there were often concerns over the initial quality of the marking. Most reviews led to slightly higher marks, Ofqual said, penalising pupils from schools which did not ask for re-marks. It said the change would mean a "level playing field". Independent schools sought reviews for one in eight A-level grades, more than twice the proportion of state-funded colleges, it added. Exam boards charge fees of between £20 and £72 per paper to be re-marked, but refund the fee if the grade changes. These costs are generally borne by the school, but some state schools ask parents to pay. Overall more than 90,000 A-level and GCSE results were changed on appeal in 2015 - an increase of 17% in one year and the highest on record. Julie Swan, Ofqual's executive director for general qualifications, said it was clear from its analysis that the current system could be fairer. "It is not fair to allow some students to have a second bite of the cherry by giving them a higher mark on review, when the first mark was appropriate," she said. "This undermines the hard work and professionalism of markers, most of whom are teachers themselves. "These changes will mean a level playing field for all students and help to improve public confidence in the marking system. "We want schools to be able to ask for a review if an error has been made. Nothing we are doing will make it any more difficult for a marking error to be corrected." Ofqual highlighted that re-marks resulted in changes upwards by just a few marks and this was down to the subjective nature of marking. There was a common misconception that there was a single "right mark" for more extended questions, it said. The changes, which will take effect from this summer, have followed a consultation with schools, teachers, subject associations and students. Other changes include: The Association of School and College Leaders said the changes would be hugely contentious because many people believe that the initial quality of marking is not always up to scratch in the first place. "There remains an underlying problem in that the system is still something of a cottage industry in which teachers mark huge numbers of scripts in their spare time for little pay. It needs to be better resourced and better structured. "The most important thing is to have a system that gets marks right first time." HMC chairman Chris King said the changes would make the proper review when marks and grades are challenged by schools and colleges less clear, less consistent and less fair. "We are especially concerned that the proposals do

Iurii Kushnarev's penalty gave the Russians the lead and Dragons responded thanks to Pat Howard but Enisei went ahead through Dmitrii Gerasimov's try. A minute later, Sam Beard crossed for Dragons but Enisei soon took control. Two tries from Stanislav Selskii in either half in addition to Valery Morozov going over gave the hosts a bonus-point victory. The result mean Enisei-STM now top the Pool 3 table with nine points from their two games after they beat English side Worcester in the first round.

Built in 1875, the Railway Goods Shed played a key part in the Carmarthenshire town's industrial heritage. Now a team of rail enthusiasts have been granted planning permission to transform it. Project manager Robert Lloyd said its potential was "amazing". The Grade II-listed building was the scene of tragedy in 1911 when six men were killed during the railway strike and riots which followed. Now six years after a team of volunteers founded the Llanelli Railway Goods Shed Trust, in a bid to bring it back into use, the building will be transformed into a hub for arts, coffee, and skills for the community. The project was inspired by the Tramshed in Cardiff - the old trams depot in the capital which is now a centre for the arts and creative industries. Mr Lloyd told BBC Wales' Newyddion 9 programme the project was the largest independent undertaking of its kind in south Wales, but the scheme still needed more funding to reach its goal. It already has funding from the Rail Trust but hopes to raise £2.2m in grants from bodies including the Heritage Lottery Fund. "The potential here is amazing actually, because it is a huge cavernous building, it's almost like a cathedral when you walk inside it," he said. Llanelli MP Nia Griffith said the building would have offices and give local people the opportunity to learn new skills. "It's a very historic building, what we want to do is not just reflect and celebrate Llanelli's amazing industrial heritage but also it's a place which is vibrant for the future where we are actually fostering new businesses," she said.

Oscar's free-kick put the Blues ahead before Andre Ayew stabbed a close-range equaliser after keeper Courtois had kept out Bafetimbi Gomis's header. Federico Fernandez put Willian's cross past his own keeper before Courtois was sent off after bringing down Gomis. New signing Asmir Begovic came on but failed to stop Gomis's spot-kick. Swansea played with an extra man for more than half an hour but could not make the most of the advantage. The dangerous Gomis had the ball in the net but was ruled offside while Jefferson Montero, who was excellent throughout, forced a fine save from Begovic. Much has been made of Chelsea's failure to attract a box-office name from outside the Premier League this summer. Even Jose Mourinho, who signed a new four-year contract on Friday, has warned of the danger of standing still yet neither of his two main close-season buys started the game. Diego Costa did, despite his manager claiming in the build-up that the forward was a major doubt, but the Spain international rarely looked like scoring, let alone repeating his hat-trick in the corresponding fixture last season. The champions contributed to a high-tempo, entertaining game but did not look like a side that won the league by eight points last season. Even before Courtois's dismissal, Swansea had more shots than the hosts and were lively throughout, full of enterprise and in Montero had the best players on the pitch. It does not get any easier for Chelsea, with last season's nearest challengers Manchester City next up. It is no secret that the champions have been trying to strengthen their defence, with Everton's John Stones a target. There are still another three weeks before the 1 September deadline but, if Chelsea's current defence was trying to persuade Mourinho not to strengthen the back four, they failed. Ayew, Swansea's new signing from Marseille, took his goal well but the Chelsea players were slow to react after Courtois kept out Gomis's powerful header. Swansea finished eighth in the table last season, a campaign which started with a fine 2-1 win at Manchester United. Media playback is not supported on this device They managed to do the double over Louis van Gaal's side - as well as Arsenal - and they look as though they will again cause problems for clubs with serious title ambitions. Garry Monk has brought in four players over the summer, with Andre Ayew looking a shrewd signing after scoring on his first Premier League start for the club. Yet it was the familiar face of Montero who really impressed at Stamford Bridge, the Ecuadorian winger a constant menace throughout as he teased and tormented Chelsea's defence. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "They didn't have chances against 11. The team was playing very, very well in the first half. In the second, in one minute, it was a penalty, red card and the goal - 2-2. Media playback is not supported on this device "If you have 10 men and are winning you can

The discharges are in breach of approvals but are said to be well within the overall site safety limit. According to the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa), the gaseous tritium is from an authorised outlet but is greater than it should be. The Chapelcross site ceased power generation in 2004. Sepa staff have been to the facility a number of times to discuss the issue with the operators. They say that while a sub-limit for gaseous disposals has been exceeded, it is a small fraction of the authorised disposal limit for the whole site. On that basis, Sepa says it is confident there is no risk to the public or the environment, although investigations are continuing to find the reason for the increase. Tritium - a radioactive isotope of hydrogen - was a by-product of the nuclear operations at Chapelcross and was used in the weapons industry. Gaseous tritium is sometimes used for its radio-luminescence by makers of self-illuminating watches or signposts.

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

The 35-year-old Tongan spent 11 years playing in Australia's National Rugby League for Paramatta, for whom he made 201 appearances. Leigh won the Championship Grand Final last term and, in 2015, will be looking to win promotion back to Super League. "The signing is a strong indication of Leigh's ability to attract world-class talent," said head coach Paul Rowley. "He will not only bring profile to our club off the field, but a huge presence and class on the field." Moimoi began his international career representing New Zealand, but switched to the nation of his birth in 2013 and represented Tonga at the World Cup. Leigh, who lost only once during the regular Championship season in 2014, have said the deal includes an option of a second year.

The Portaferry woman clocked a time of 4:10.60, well short of her lifetime best of 4:01.46 set in Paris last year. Ethiopian world record holder Genzebe Dibaba won a fast heat in 4:02.67, with South African Olympic 800m champion Caster Semenya second in 4:02.84. Kenya's Winny Chebet was third, with Great Britain's Jess Judd sixth. Media playback is not supported on this device "That race was a disaster. I'm good enough to qualify for the semi-finals and battle for the final but that just wasn't me out there. It's very disappointing," said Mageean after Friday night's event. "I couldn't get my legs turning over - I don't know, I really don't. "Everything has been going well this season and I've been going from strength to strength so to not make it out of the rounds is a disaster." The top six finishers from each of the three heats will contest the semi-finals in London on Saturday, along with the next six fastest runners from all the heats. Dibaba's performance will give her confidence that she can retain her World Championship crown. Mageean, 25, earned a bronze medal at the European outdoor championships last year, and had a best time this season of 4:03.57 set in the mile race at the Diamond League meeting in London.

20 July 2015 Last updated at 08:22 BST The system, developed by a scientist from the University of Chester, includes a video camera attached to the rhino's horn, GPS satellites, and a heart-rate monitor that triggers an alarm the moment a rhino is attacked. It means poachers could have little time to escape as park rangers are flown to the scene of the crime within minutes. And the video footage captured by the horn camera will provide evidence of what happened. Rhino poaching is big business across Africa and has reached record levels in South Africa, in particular, over recent years. The hope is that the technology could put poachers off even attempting to kill the animals. It could also be adapted for other hunted animals, including elephants and tigers. Newsround reporter Ricky has been finding out more.

Rob Camm, 21, said he had wanted to do the Tough Mudder challenge since hearing about it before his accident. Mr Camm, who was injured in a car crash, is believed to be the first tetraplegic to take part in event. He could not tackle every obstacle in Cirencester Park, Gloucestershire, but powered across muddy terrain in the wheelchair. Competitors tackle assault course obstacles, including mud. Events are held across the world. Speaking after the race, Mr Camm told BBC Radio Bristol he was "happy that I've done it, but a bit tired - but probably not as tired as all these guys who have been round with me". His support team, including his father Ian Camm and cousin Simon Camm, tackled obstacles such as walls and tunnels. Mr Camm practised by driving round the fields and the woods near his house in Breadstone, Gloucestershire, to get used to being off-road. He said he wore a poncho for much of the way around to keep the rain off. "This is what I wanted to do before [the accident] and it's what I'm doing now. There's no reason not to do it," he said. Mr Camm, a keen rugby player, was paralysed in the crash in September 2013, a week before he was due to start university. He is now studying politics and philosophy at the University of Bristol.

Defenders Matt Mills (groin), Michael Mancienne (hamstring) and Jack Hobbs (foot) are still out. For Brentford, captain Harlee Dean is available again after serving a two-match ban. Meanwhile, his fellow Bees central defender Andreas Bjelland is doubtful after going off at Ipswich with a hamstring injury.

Trailing 24-15 at the break, Newcastle scored four tries in 18 second-half minutes to turn the game around. Scrum-half Takulua crossed the line three times and also added another nine points with his boot off the tee. Northampton, who earned a bonus point of their own with four tries, were undone by a series of defensive and handling errors in the second half. A second successive home win for Newcastle lifts them above Northampton to seventh and just a point behind sixth-placed Harlequins. Northampton have now lost their past two Premiership matches to fall to eighth and are without an away win in six games in all competitions. Jim Mallinder's side made a terrific start with two tries inside the opening five minutes from Ken Pisi and Jamie Gibson. Harry Mallinder's score in the corner seemingly put them in charge at the break despite Takulua and Sean Robinson crossing for the hosts. But a lightning restart from Newcastle saw Rob Vickers and a Takulua brace change the complexion of the game within 10 minutes. Falcons went on to inflict further damage through hooker Kyle Cooper before Mikey Haywood kept Saints in the hunt, although Mark Wilson's late score from a rolling maul settled the affair. Newcastle: Tait; Goneva, Waldouck, Socino, Sinoti; Hodgson, Takulua; Vickers, Cooper, Welsh, Green, Robinson, Wilson, Welch (capt), Latu. Replacements: Lawson, Harris, Wilson, Fonua, Olmstead, Egerton, Delany, Watson. Northampton: Tuala; K. Pisi, Tuitavake, Mallinder, Foden (capt); Myler, Groom; A. Waller, Haywood, Brookes, Ratuniyarawa, Day, Gibson, Clark, Harrison. Replacements: Clare, E. Waller, Hill, Paterson, Nutley, Dickson, Hutchinson, Pablo Estelles.

That would be at the Commonwealth Games at the Gold Coast next April. If he achieves this goal Williams, 33, will then hang up his spikes. Then, and maybe only then, Williams will be able to reflect more fondly on a period of time where he has fretted over money, suffered with stress and felt the need to temporarily move his life to the other side of the world. The Commonwealths would be a fitting end because of what happened to Williams when he missed Glasgow 2014. The former European 400m hurdles champion had to withdraw on the eve of the Games, along with 800m runner Gareth Warburton, after testing positive at a Grand Prix in Glasgow. The pair were cleared by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) of knowingly cheating but Williams received a four-month ban, while Warburton was handed a six-month suspension after the pair took supplements they didn't know were contaminated. Williams has battled back and just failed to reach the Olympics last year after his selection credentials were ignored by British Athletics. Now he wants to complete his career in a Welsh vest. The Commonwealth Games is an event where Williams won a bronze medal in Delhi in 2010 behind fellow Welshman Dai Greene and he was supposed to be the athletics co-captain in Scotland three years ago before his withdrawal. "I would love to be in that Welsh team and finish my career on a happy note," Williams told BBC Wales' Beth Fisher in a special radio interview. "If I don't, then it's not meant to be but it won't be from a lack of trying. I am very proud to be Welsh. "It's been a long career and I have enjoyed it. There have been some been downs and some great ups. "I had a massive setback in 2014, the worst experience of my life. I believe in fate and things do happen for a reason. "I learned a lot, who you true friends are. "I am 33 now. I wanted to finish after that Commonwealth Games (in Glasgow) because I have other goals in life. "But what happened there has kept me going." Williams admitted the road back on track following the verdict to his case in 2015 has been fraught. The athlete admitted he had struggled with the financial implications of his legal case following the failed doping test which was helped to be funded by his father and former Welsh rugby player JJ Williams. Williams says the event had taken its toll on the family. "We went for a top QC and had a great result with a four-month suspension," said Williams. "Luckily my Dad was in a position to help me financially and he offered and decided to go down the route of getting a top QC. "You are left with a massive debt. It cost us all a fortune and you have to pay it. "I am lucky but there is bad feeling over the money side, not necessarily with the other

Alejandro Burzaco is among 14 people accused by US prosecutors of paying and receiving millions of dollars in bribes. Mr Burzaco had been president of sports marketing firm Torneos y Competencias. He was freed on bail set at $20m (£12.7m), and is the third person to appear in court over the case. Prosecutors allege the Argentine conspired to win and keep hold of lucrative media rights contracts from regional football federations by paying up to $110m (£72m) in bribes. Mr Burzaco faces charges of racketeering and wire fraud conspiracy. He disappeared after the case was launched in May, turning himself in to Italian police before being extradited to the US. Jeffrey Webb, a former Fifa vice-president, and Aaron Davidson, another former sports marketing executive, who were both also among the 14 indicted in the US have also pleaded not guilty.

Brazilian media reported earlier this week that the US had seized web traffic and phone calls across the region. Spying targets included oil and energy firms, Venezuela's military purchases and information on Mexico's drug wars. The reports, based on leaks by fugitive Edward Snowden, said the US ran a "data-collection base" in Brasilia. The O Globo newspaper said the US facility in the Brazilian capital was part of a network of 16 such bases maintained by the National Security Agency (NSA) around the world to intercept transmissions from foreign satellites. The paper said it had evidence that the base was in operation until at least 2002, but it was unclear whether it still existed. Brazil apparently remains the main target of US snooping in Latin America, with major firms and foreign visitors routinely targeted. The surveillance was allegedly conducted through partnerships between Brazilian telecoms firms and US agencies, although the reports did not name any companies. On Monday Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff urged the US to explain, and has ordered an investigation into the claims. Who is Edward Snowden? Where will Snowden end up? She said if true they would represent "violations of sovereignty and human rights". During angry exchanges in parliament on Wednesday, senators suggested Brazil should give Mr Snowden asylum, while others said Brazil should cancel lucrative defence contracts with the US. The allegations on O Globo detailed claims of US spying across Latin America, sparking an angry reaction from traditional American foes in the region like Venezuela and Ecuador. But analysts say the US will be much more concerned with the irritation the revelations have caused in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Chile. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said the foreign ministry had asked "quite clearly" for an explanation about the spying allegations. "And we want to know if this is the case, and if it is so, it would obviously be totally unacceptable," he said. Officials in Chile and Colombia made similar statements earlier in the week. Mr Snowden is still believed to be staying in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, where he fled after being named as the source of a series of leaks about the US spying programme. He has asked for asylum in several countries, with Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela indicating they would offer him refuge. According to various reports, Venezuela appears his most likely destination, although it is unclear how he can get there without being intercepted by the US or its allies. Mr Snowden's leaks have led to revelations that the US is systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data across the world, under an NSA programme known as Prism.

The Grand National will attract about £225m in wagers across the betting industry, William Hill predicted. Combined with other sporting fixtures it expects to take "the highest turnover levels on any weekend in history", the bookmaker said. Saturday's race is expected to be seen by 600 million people globally. "The Grand National is the public's race and we will see millions of once-a-year punters coming in to betting shops or downloading the app," William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said. The race is set to attract over 35 million bets with the average being worth £4.41. William Hill is also hoping for another big-priced winner in the Grand National this year. The last five races have produced winners at odds of 33/1, 25/1, 25/1 and 33/1. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary owns five of the 40 horses in Saturday's field. He is hoping to become the first owner to win consecutive Nationals with different horses since 1954 after Rule the World, ridden by David Mullins, claimed victory. Last year the start time for the Grand National was moved by an hour to 17:15 BST. The decision proved to be a boost for turnover and William Hill expects that trend to continue. "The experiment of moving the start time really paid off and we expect the Grand National to smash betting records this year," Mr Adams said. Last year the number of bets placed on the Grand National on William Hill's online and mobile channels peaked at about 10,000 a minute. It is the first year that the race has been sponsored by Randox Health, which analyses blood and urine samples to detect and prevent illnesses. The Northern Ireland-based firm was set up in 1982 by Dr Peter FitzGerald - a keen horse racing fan. Meanwhile, the meeting at Aintree could be affected by a 24-hour strike involving members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Merseyrail and Arriva Trains North. Tens of thousands of people travel by train from central Liverpool to the racecourse. Jan Chaudhry-van der Velde, managing director Merseyrail, said the operator had devised a timetable aimed at transporting as many passengers as normal on Grand National day.

The claim: Graduates in a lifetime earn more than non-graduates by £250,000 for women and £170,000 for men. Reality Check verdict: Modelling lifetime earnings clearly creates uncertainties but the analysis is basically reasonable. It is an average, so there will be people for whom going to university is not financially worthwhile and some who will benefit even more. Universities Minister Jo Johnson said: "Universities continue to deliver extraordinary returns for people who go. "On average, if you're a woman you're likely to have higher lifetime earnings than women who don't go to the tune of about £250,000; £170,000 if you're a man." These figures come from analysis carried out by Prof Ian Walker and Prof Yu Zhu for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in 2013. It estimated the value of a degree over a lifetime from the point of view of an 18-year-old, by comparing earnings for those with a degree with those for somebody with at least two A-Levels but no degree. The figures they came up with were £252,000 for women and £168,000 for men (at 2012 prices). Those figures are adjusted for loan repayments on £9,000 per year fees and tax. Prof Zhu told BBC News that the way the model was designed meant the increase in interest rates and fees since the research was done would be allowed for and the figures still stood. The model also takes account of the relative likelihood of periods of unemployment during a working life. Predicting how much people will earn in a lifetime is clearly not a precise science and there are significant uncertainties (see our previous article on the challenges of economic modelling). Also, this is an average, so for some people it will not turn out to have been worth going to university based on the financial outcome. Research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies last year found that at 23 institutions for men and nine for women, the median graduate was earning less after 10 years than the median non-graduate. It also found that people with degrees in the creative arts earned no more on average than non-graduates. Another figure on Today came from Alistair Jarvis, chief executive of Universities UK, who said: "Somebody who goes to university will earn on average about £10,000 a year more than somebody that hasn't got a degree." That is a figure from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) comparing median earnings for graduates with median earnings for non-graduates. The latest figures are for 2016, when the average graduate earned £9,500 more a year than the average non-graduate. It is a figure taken from the Labour Force Survey, which is the same place from where the monthly unemployment figures come. But here's why it is not a great deal of help for somebody whose A-level results have just come out and who is deciding whether the financial commitment of going to university is a good idea. For graduates aged between 21 and 30, the ONS figures show the

The Northern Irishman, 31, was competing in the Baloise Belgium Tour event for his Irish professional team Aqua Blue Sport. Former world track champion Irvine came out of retirement last October to sign for the team. A team tweet said Irvine had sustained a "minor hairline fracture". Irvine's team-mates include fellow Irishmen Matt Brammeier and Conor Dunne. The County Down man retired from the sport after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics before reversing the decision nine months later. Aqua Blue Sport's goal is to eventually participate at a World Tour level and compete in the Tour de France, but their events this season include the Milan-San Remo classic, Amstel Gold and the Tour of Britain. Newtownards man Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013. Irvine also won silver in the points race at the 2013 World Championships and a European bronze medal He finished 2013 as number one scratch rider in the 2013 UCI world rankings and claimed a scratch silver medal in the 2014 Track Cycling World Championships. His achievements in 2013 led to him being named as the BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year.

In total, 38 people died in the hour-long gun attack near Sousse in June 2015. But local units deliberately "slowed down" as Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire, said the counsel to the inquest into the British deaths. The attack was the deadliest on Britons since the 7 July 2005 London bombings. A senior Foreign Office official also defended the government's decision not to raise the level of its terror alert in Tunisia following shootings at a museum in the capital city of Tunis four months earlier. Survivors share their stories of terror on the beach Who were the British victims? What exactly happened on that day? The hearing at London's Royal Courts of Justice - set to last for seven weeks - began with a minute's silence and the names of all the victims being read out. The 38 tourists who visited Tunisia for "relaxation and enjoyment" were "systematically" gunned down from around 11:30 local time on 26 June 2015, said Samantha Leek, counsel to the inquest. She said the attack could have been stopped sooner, citing a Tunisian judge's report into failings by local security units. Alison and Baron Caine, who were on the beach when the attack began, told the BBC that they escaped the gunfire and barricaded themselves in their hotel room. "We started hearing screams, people were running," Mrs Caine said. "It was like a complete warzone." The couple heard a knock on their hotel room door and a man saying he had their key. "We looked at each other and we just thought this is it, we're going to die." A lone armed guard was on the beach when Rezgui opened fire. The gunman also threw a grenade and left the guard "seemingly unconscious". A second armed guard on duty was patrolling the nearby sea in a speedboat. He attempted to shoot Rezgui but could not work his gun. Nearby security forces "had an ability to put an end to the attack" before the police arrived, Ms Leek said, but they "deliberately and unjustifiably slowed down to delay their arrival at the hotel". Meanwhile, witnesses telling of the man with the gun in the speedboat may have led to confusion over how many attackers there were, she added. Rezgui was shot dead by police about an hour after the attack began. The court hearing the inquest's opening day of evidence was filled with relatives and friends of the British dead, who were aged between 19 and 80. Three people from Ireland, two Germans, one Russian, a Belgian and a Portuguese woman were also killed. They were all holidaymakers staying in the popular resort of Port El Kantaoui, just north of Sousse. Three generations of a family - a young man, his uncle and grandfather - were among them. At the time of the shootings, official travel advice from the UK Foreign Office did not specifically advise holidaymakers against going to Tunisia. Instead the advice available on its website stated "further attacks are possible", following

Phelan had been in temporary charge for 12 weeks since Steve Bruce's departure in the summer, with the club currently 15th in the Premier League table. A good start saw the 54-year-old named manager of the month for August. In September, Phelan revealed he was offered the job on a full-time basis but there had since been no contact amid the club's search for a new owner. "I'm very relieved," Phelan said on the club website. "It's been a while in coming." Phelan added he was "looking forward" to the first full-time management role of his career, saying: "It's exciting to step over that threshold. "I understand things are pending at this club so I am happy with that. I'm in charge of all football issues and that's what I needed to be clear." The newly-promoted Tigers surprised many by winning their first two games of the season despite a summer of turmoil and stretched playing resources. Know someone who volunteers in sport and deserves recognition for their efforts? Give them the chance to shine by nominating them. Since then, however, they have gone five games in the league without a further win, picking up just one point. They have reached the fourth round of the EFL Cup, and travel to Bristol City next. Former Manchester United assistant manager Phelan first arrived at Hull City in February 2015 when named assistant to Bruce, who this week was appointed manager at Championship side Aston Villa. Hull, who have beaten champions Leicester and Swansea this season, visit Bournemouth on Saturday. The club also confirmed on Thursday that Stephen Clemence had left the club to join Aston Villa as first-team coach under Bruce.

The paper on the UK's role in the world was being compiled by the Labour politician in the weeks before she was killed in June. Brendan Cox said his wife felt strongly the UK must "stand up" for civilians threatened by war and genocide. The Cost of Doing Nothing has been published by think-tank Policy Exchange. It warns the reaction to the Iraq war had prompted a rise in "knee-jerk isolationism, unthinking pacifism and anti-interventionism". Withdrawing from the world stage posed "dangerous" implications for security and increased the risk of further global instability, it added. Mr Cox said his wife had been passionately committed to the work, which was forged by her experiences of meeting survivors of genocide. "Last week I was clearing some of Jo's things and found the first draft of the report that she had scribbled all over," he said. "At the top she had written 'Britain must lead again'." The report offers examples of successful interventions, such as the introduction of a no-fly zone in northern Iraq in 1991 to protect Kurds. It also points to the consequences of doing nothing, such as the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Mrs Cox had been working on a draft of the paper with Tom Tugendhat, the Conservative MP for Tonbridge and Malling. He said: "To stand aside would not make us or the world safer, but leave us vulnerable to the whims of others rather than doing what we have always done - shape our own destiny and be a force for good." The document was completed by Mrs Cox's friend Alison McGovern, the Labour MP for Wirral South. She added: "Jo never believed that simply doing nothing in the face of atrocities was good enough, and neither should we." Mrs Cox was shot and stabbed by Thomas Mair in Birstall in her West Yorkshire constituency. Her killer was jailed for life in November 2016.

In rain-soaked conditions in the Netherlands, Spain dominated the game with 78% possession, but came up against an England side who were resolute in defence and had strikers who scored from two shots on goal. Fran Kirby took Ellen White's pass and scored at the near post in the second minute, before Jodie Taylor wrapped the game up five minutes from time with her fourth Euro 2017 goal from Jordan Nobbs' flick. But that only told half the story as Spain were denied a potential equaliser before Taylor's goal when referee Carina Vitulano awarded a penalty for White's handball but then confused the whole stadium when she changed her mind after deciding it was accidental. Although the result was harsh on Spain, who played some brilliant football, Mark Sampson's team were rewarded for their ruthlessness in attack to add to their record 6-0 win over Scotland in their opening game. They now only need a draw in their final group match against Portugal to guarantee their progression and a position as group winners. That could mean they avoid France in the quarter-finals, a team England have not beaten since 1974. Before the refereeing confusion ensued around the penalty, England had cause to feel aggrieved themselves when Millie Bright was denied what looked like a clear goal when she was found by Nobbs at the back post from a free-kick and headed into the top corner. The assistant's flag was raised for offside, but with Bright clearly onside, it was perhaps adjudged that Lucy Bronze interfered with play by running towards the Spanish goalkeeper. "The ball was two feet above my head, so I'm not sure how I could have interfered with that," said the England defender. That all paled into insignificance compared to the Spanish team's bewilderment in the second half when the referee changed her mind about the spot-kick. It could have been seen as a harsh penalty decision as White slipped when the ball was crossed into the box, with it skipping up and striking her arm. But the referee was unequivocal as she pointed to the spot. Confusion then reigned. After White, Bronze and skipper Steph Houghton spoke to the referee and the Spanish fans prepared for a potential equaliser, the whole stadium was then left baffled as a free-kick was awarded to England. Referee Vitulano seemed to indicate she had not originally been aware the ball had deflected onto White's arm, rather than hitting it direct from the cross. Commentating for BBC Radio 5 live, Jonathan Pearce said: "I don't think you can do that. The referee has changed her mind. The Spanish bench are furious, I have not seen anything like that before." Asked about the incident afterwards, Spain coach Jorge Vilda said: "We have to accept the decisions of the referee and try to achieve our aim of getting three points in the next game." After outplaying Scotland in their opening game, Spain's dominance of possession offered a completely different test and although England

The world's biggest name in on-demand video describes itself as a "Manbang knockoff" in its bio. Manbang is the name for North Korea's own streaming service, recently unveiled by its state broadcaster. The set-top box, which connects to the state-controlled internet, was dubbed North Korea's Netflix in news reports. It is said to enable viewers to search for and replay documentaries, and watch five TV channels. Demand for the device was high, said KCTV. Most North Koreans have no access to the internet and the access a few have is extremely limited. Netflix, which made the change on Thursday, often puts humorous and topical references in its Twitter bios. It is not known what Manbang thought about the change.

A member of the public called officers after a number of tents were found on Monday on land off Falkland Road, Chandler's Ford. Police also said a fire was reported to have been started in the area. Three men, aged 19, 20 and 26, and a 17-year-old girl, all from the local area, have been arrested. A police spokeswoman said they had been held on suspicion of sexual offences but would not give any more details. She added it appeared to be an isolated incident.

The group published an obituary for the jihadist, whose real name was Mohammed Emwazi, in its online magazine Dabiq. In November the US military said it was "reasonably certain" it had killed him in the IS-stronghold of Raqqa. Emwazi appeared in beheading videos of victims including UK aid worker David Haines and taxi driver Alan Henning. Who was Mohammed Emwazi? In the eulogy, Kuwaiti-born Emwazi is referred to as Abu Muharib al-Muhajir, his nickname in the group and the details of his death confirm the US version of events. The jihadist group said Emwazi was killed on 12 November "as the car he was in was targeted in a strike by an unmanned drone in the city of Raqqa, destroying the car and killing him instantly". A smiling picture of the militant, who appears unmasked looking towards the ground, accompanies the text, which is written in tribute form to a man they describe as an "honourable brother". Emwazi first emerged in August 2014 when he appeared masked in a video in which US journalist James Foley was apparently murdered. Dubbed Jihadi John by the media, in February 2015 he was identified as Emwazi, a computer programming graduate who grew up in London. He also appeared in videos of the beheadings of US journalist Steven Sotloff, Mr Haines, Mr Henning, as well as American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter, and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. He became a top target for US and British intelligence agencies, even though he is thought to have played no military role within IS. At the time of his reported death in November, Prime Minister David Cameron said targeting Emwazi had been "the right thing to do". He said the UK had been working with its US allies "literally around the clock" to track Emwazi down. Three drones - one British and two American - were involved in the strike. One of the American drones hit the car, and it is believed there was one other person in the vehicle. Mohammed Emwazi Source: Cage, London-based campaign group Civil war erupted in Syria in 2011, and now President Bashar al-Assad's government, IS, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all hold territory. Millions have been displaced and more than 250,000 people killed as a result of the fighting. More than 750 people from the UK are thought to have travelled to support or fight for jihadist organisations in Syria and Iraq, and approximately half of those have returned, Home Secretary Theresa May said in November.

McCalliog scored in the famous 3-2 win over world champions England at Wembley in 1967, 50 years ago this weekend. It was a debut to remember for McCalliog, who was taken with the bow of Stuart Armstrong in last month's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Slovenia. "I was very pleased for Gordon and for the boys because it was a real pressure situation," said McCalliog. "I was actually at the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it. They put a smile back on Scottish soccer that night." Strachan had commented that Armstrong's man-of-the-match performance at Hampden was the best Scotland debut he had ever seen. McCalliog, just 20 years old at the time, scored with three minutes remaining as Scotland recorded arguably their most distinguished victory, with Denis Law and Bobby Lennox also on target. "With regards to the comparison (with Armstrong) I think that's what football is all about," McCalliog told BBC Scotland's Sportsound. "We all have opinions and that's what keeps the game bubbling along." McCalliog, who had spells at Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves and Manchester United, would only win another four Scotland caps after netting the third goal in the Wembley win. However, he says he has no regrets and simply cherishes the appearances he did make and having the chance to be part of the triumph over the World Cup holders. "It seems like yesterday," he said. "It's a wonderful memory and it's still imprinted very much so in my head, it was a fabulous day. "People would save up for two years so they could go to Wembley. It was an important game, we had it rammed down our throat about 1966 so all the boys were determined we would get a good result. "To have Billy Bremner on my right-hand side and the wonderful James Baxter on my left was a dream come true. "There were easily four world class players in the England side; Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Alan Ball and probably Ray Wilson and that's not to mention Gordon Banks. They certainly were a great side, they were unbeaten for 18 games, and it was a tough call for us to go out and beat them. "The Scotland selection was quite difficult back then. The manager didn't pick the team, the committee did. There was a lot of competition. I'm very grateful for the five caps, it would have been nice to have got a few more."

Defence was one of the few areas to see a significant growth in spending with a 12% rise to nearly $40bn (£23bn). BBC Business Reporter Shilpa Kannan reports from Delhi.

The research carried out by University of Glasgow Training and Employment Research Unit examined the first year of the route. The North Coast 500 route, also known as the NC500, stretches for more than 500 miles. It was launched in 2015 by the North Highland Initiative. The NC500 features roads in the Black Isle, Caithness, Sutherland and Wester Ross. It includes several challenging ascents and descents, including the Bealach-na-Ba at Applecross. The unclassified road rises to about 626m (2,053ft) over about four miles (8km). The research commissioned by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) suggests: Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "I welcome the very positive impact the North Coast 500 has had on the tourism economy in the Highlands. "Today's report shows the route is already delivering for the north of Scotland and has tremendous potential to further benefit the communities it serves, encourage more investment in tourism facilities, stimulate jobs and expand the tourism season." HIE has established a partnership including Police Scotland, Transport Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Highland Council, VisitScotland and other interests to "ensure the route is developed in a sustainable way". David Oxley, HIE's director of business and sector development, said: "This study suggests the NC500 has very quickly had a positive impact in the north Highlands. "Through working collectively with businesses and communities along the route, North Highland Initiative have created a distinct and exciting tourism product. "It's a product that has helped promote some of Scotland's most stunning scenery to a global audience, whilst also providing a further boost for the Highlands and Islands' growing tourism sector."

Sadiq Khan said from 12 September a free second journey can be made within an hour of a fare being paid. His office estimates 30 million bus journeys, currently costing £1.50 per passenger, will be made this way. An Oyster or contactless payment card will need to be used to take advantage of the Hopper fare. 2.5bn bus journeys made in the capital 600m were pay as you go fares 86m people estimated to have made more than one trip per hour Fare rises increased eight years in a row under Boris Johnson Passengers using the tram network around Croydon will also be eligible. Mr Khan, whose father drove the number 44 bus in London, said the measure was a "key part" of his transport strategy and he hoped it would encourage more people to use public transport, cutting congestion and pollution levels in the city. He said: "Fares in London have risen for eight years in a row - and for people who have to change buses to get to work, the system simply isn't fair. "We must ensure that everyone can afford to travel around our city." Transport for London (TfL) said by 2018 technology would be in place for people who travel on a Tube or train between their two bus or tram journeys to benefit from the change. Liberal Democrat, Caroline Pidgeon, who has been campaigning for such a scheme for several years, said she would "welcome its final introduction" and said "imitation sometimes is the greatest form of flattery". "I hope the mayor will now go further and also implement the policy of half price travel for journeys on the TfL rail network that start before 07:30," she said.

The governing body said the teachers would not be allowed to teach again. They were found guilty after a disciplinary process, the Teachers Services Commission (TSC) said. A Child Welfare Society of Kenya has urged the director of public prosecutions to ensure those convicted are imprisoned, to protect other children in future. This ban is a departure from previous reactions to sexual abuse by teachers, says the Kenyan newspaper the Daily Nation, as it says previously the TSC just transferred suspended teachers. The list is compiled from complaints between 2011 and 2014. Before this, in 2010, more than 1,000 Kenyan teachers were sacked for sexually abusing girls. Most of those cases occurred in rural primary schools. Africa news updates

Media playback is unsupported on your device 13 August 2015 Last updated at 19:46 BST Mary Bates, from St Albans, did not know the ink used in the tattoo she had done in Turkey contained paraphenylenediamine (PPD) - a substance which is strictly controlled in the European Union. When she returned to the UK Ms Bates was referred to the specialist burns service at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by her doctor. Dr Chris Flower, of the Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association, warned people could be scarred for life if they had black henna tattoos. BBC London's Yvonne Hall spoke to Ms Bates and Dr Flower.

She ruled that psychiatric evidence before the court could not replace "a proper inquiry" into his mental health. Correspondents say the trial, which began in March, will almost certainly now face a lengthy delay. The prosecution argued on Tuesday that psychiatric tests were essential and that he should be referred. By Andrew HardingAfrica correspondent Two days ago, Oscar Pistorius told me the prosecution's demand that he undergo further psychiatric tests was "a joke". His defence lawyer was practically spitting with indignation in court as he argued against it. But today - after hearing Judge Masipa's thorough, detailed ruling - all sides seemed to accept, or at least pretend to accept, that she had a point and that another long delay in this already extended trial would not be a disaster. It is an odd moment - and one that seems to have caught almost everyone I have spoken to by surprise. Remember that neither prosecution nor defence is suggesting that Mr Pistorius is mentally ill. But the prosecution is clearly concerned by the defence psychiatrist's claim that the athlete's behaviour the night he killed Reeva Steenkamp might have been influenced by his "general anxiety disorder". If the state experts confirm that medical diagnosis then the defence has lost nothing but time. The experts could even go further, suggesting Mr Pistorius had diminished responsibility for his actions. But if, after 30 days of evaluation, the doctors conclude that Mr Pistorius' actions the night he shot his girlfriend were in no way related to any anxiety issues, then the prosecution's stake-raising poker move will have done its job. But the defence vigorously opposed the move. Mr Pistorius denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year. He says he accidentally shot her through the toilet door in a state of panic, mistaking the 29-year-old model and law graduate for an intruder. The BBC's Andrew Harding in court says that Judge Thokozile Masipa's decision caught almost everyone by surprise. The trial has now been adjourned until Tuesday, when the judge will give the details behind her ruling which could mean the Olympic athlete is evaluated for a minimum of 30 days at a psychiatric faculty. Mr Pistorius's uncle, Arnold, welcomed the judge's "thorough" ruling and said it gave the family "confidence" in the justice system. Judge Masipa said that the criminal code stipulates that if an accused person is alleged not to be criminally responsible or is alleged to be mentally ill, he should be evaluated. She said that such an evaluation would ensure that Mr Pistorius would get a fair trial, adding it would be "preferable" for him to undergo the evaluation as an outpatient. Prosecution lawyer Gerrie Nel made the referral application on Tuesday after forensic psychiatrist Merryll Vorster said earlier that the double amputee was suffering from generalised anxiety disorder (Gad). Mr Nel said that the disorder diagnosis left him with no choice but to apply for an evaluation because the condition might have affected Mr Pistorius'

Downing Street said that measures in the Investigatory Powers Bill would provide the authorities "with the tools to keep you and your family safe". It will "address gaps" in intelligence gathering and access to communications data which is putting "lives at risk". But civil liberties campaigners claim it will pave the way for mass surveillance of UK citizens. Home Secretary Theresa May's efforts to introduce a similar bill in 2012, dubbed the "snooper's charter" by critics, were blocked by the Liberal Democrats. The new bill is designed to "maintain the ability of intelligence agencies and law enforcement to target the online communications of terrorists, paedophiles and other serious criminals". Details of how it will work will be published in the next few days. It is thought likely to require internet service providers and mobile operators to log much more data about what their customers are doing, including data on who people call, text, tweet and instant message, what games they play, when they post on social networks and who they send webmails. The government has come under growing pressure to do more to respond to the fallout from the conflicts in Iraq and Syria and, specifically, the threat posed by British jihadists returning to the UK after fighting in the two countries. The police have long argued that their ability to track the online communications of potential suspects is heavily circumscribed and the the law is not keeping pace with advances in technology. But civil liberties campaigners fear it will lead to mass surveillance. Essentially the government wants to upgrade the law so that is can do all the things it used to do with the post and telephones with all the plethora of online communications that now exist. A review by the "Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation" David Anderson QC will feed into this. The Bill will be very controversial. It is strongly opposed by many Liberals, and civil liberties groups, and the idea became even more controversial after the Edward Snowden revelations. Jim Killock, executive director of The Open Rights Group, said: "The government is signalling that it wants to press ahead with increased powers of data collection and retention for the police and GCHQ, spying on everyone, whether suspected of a crime or not. "This is the return of the 'snooper's charter', even as the ability to collect and retain data gets less and less workable. "We should expect attacks on encryption, which protects all our security. Data collection will create vast and unnecessary expense." Renate Samson, chief executive of Big Brother Watch, said: "Whilst the title may have changed from a Communications Data Bill to an Investigatory Powers Bill it will be interesting to see whether the content has radically changed. "We have yet to see real evidence that there is a gap in the capability of law enforcement or the agencies' ability to gain access to our communications data." The Investigatory Powers Bill is one of 26 proposed laws included in the first all-Conservative Queen's

Andy's condition means he can never be left alone - and Jack has helped care for him since he was tiny. Jack's local council provides support but research for the Children's Commissioner for England suggests that the vast majority of young carers are "off the radar". This is "absolutely unacceptable", according to the Commissioner, Anne Longfield. Andy has a deteriorating genetic condition which has forced him to use a wheelchair for the past four years. Even going to the bathroom can put him at risk of a fall. Jack stands in for his mother, Ruth, who is the primary carer, if she ever needs to go out. "It's a matter of someone being here all the time. I rely heavily on Jack," explains Ruth. Jack administers Andy's medication, prepares food and drink, helps him move around the flat and pushes his wheelchair when they go out. He and his father have a very close relationship - but both parents fear their son has "missed out on a normal upbringing". For the past year Jack has been part of a young carers project run by Hounslow Council in west London which provides crucial support. "I go there after school sometimes. It's like a respite. You can go there and relax and talk to people who are in the same position as you," says Jack. Local councils have a statutory duty to assess the needs of young carers, but many do not get the help they need, the study suggests. The researchers asked every local authority in England for the numbers of young carers they support. Of England's 153 local authorities, 118 provided data, revealing that they are supporting 28,000 young carers aged between five and 17. But these figures are massively short of the 166,000 young carers identified in England by the 2011 Census. Having adjusted the figures to account for not receiving data from 35 councils, the researchers calculate a shortfall of almost 133,000 or 80% of young carers. "Not all children with caring responsibilities will need support from their council but it is vital that those who do are properly assessed and the right help put in place," said Ms Longfield. "This report poses significant questions for local authorities about how they identify, assess and support young carers. "It is absolutely unacceptable to have so many children with considerable caring responsibilities going under the radar, invisible to the authorities and denied the opportunities available to other children." The Local Government Association said councils across England were working hard to ensure that young carers are properly supported - but said this was "proving increasingly difficult", given funding cuts and rising pressure on children's services overall. "The limited funding available has to be carefully targeted at those children and young people who are in the greatest need [and] unfortunately, this means that councils are forced to make increasingly difficult decisions," said Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board. "However, it is important to be clear that young

A study by the University of Aberdeen of 30,000 women found that conceiving within six months offered the best chance for a healthy pregnancy. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, counter international guidelines that women should wait at least six months before trying again. Doctors said the study would help them reassure and advise patients. The researchers looked at data between 1981 and 2000 relating to women who had a miscarriage in their first pregnancy before going on to becoming pregnant again. Women who conceived within six months were less likely to have another miscarriage, termination or ectopic pregnancy, the figures showed. Also, among those who went on to give birth, conceiving within six months was associated with reduced risk of Caesarean birth, a premature delivery or a low birthweight baby compared with those women who had conceived between six months and a year. Around one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage before 24 weeks, a risk that increases with age. Study leader Dr Sohinee Bhattacharya, a lecturer in obstetric epidemiology, said current World Health Organization guidelines recommend that women delay by at least six months. The NHS Choices website advises waiting three months to give women time to come to terms with the loss and for their menstrual cycle to re-establish itself. But Dr Bhattacharya said that for older women, who are more at risk of miscarriage, a delay may actually hamper their chances of a successful pregnancy. "Women wanting to become pregnant soon after a miscarriage should not be discouraged. "If you're already over 35, I would definitely advise to try again within six months as age is more of a risk than the interval between pregnancies." The only reason women may need to delay is if they have had a complication such as infection, she advised. It is not clear why waiting longer than six months may be associated with more risk. One theory is that underlying fertility problems may get worse with time. Another possibility is that women trying for another baby shortly after a miscarriage may be highly motivated to stick to a healthy lifestyle. Dr Tony Falconer, president-elect of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said the study showed women did not have to worry about trying again once they are physically and emotionally ready. "It may be worth taking this opportunity to talk to your GP about anything you can do to prepare for a pregnancy," he said. Professor Steve Field, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said: "Miscarriages are a very traumatic event for prospective mums-to-be, and this new evidence will help health professionals reassure patients and enable them to give some good news and hope to patients at a time when they are often very anxious and under great stress." Mary Newburn, head of research and information at parenting charity NCT, said: "It will be very reassuring to many women planning a pregnancy in their 30s or 40s to know that if they miscarry they do not

The injured pair, in their 70s, are from the Bedford area and were hurt at about 10.30 BST on South Marine Drive near Bridlington Spa, East Yorkshire. They are being treated at Hull Royal Infirmary, said Humberside Police. The car driver, who is in his 50s and from Cyprus, has been treated for minor injuries at Scarborough Hospital. Humberside Police is looking at the possibility the driver could have become unwell at the wheel and have appealed for witnesses.

England and West Ham legend Sir Trevor Brooking is spearheading an appeal to plant trees to commemorate football's involvement in the 1914-1918 conflict. The idea is to dedicate a grove at the World War One centenary wood near Epsom, Surrey to each league team. A digital archive will also be created at the National Football Museum. "There were 60-70 teams whose players who fought in war," said Sir Trevor. "The link was always there. "Football is the national game and in conflict like that, people look for something to bond together. "At the Battle of the Somme they actually kicked footballs sometimes when they went over the top, out of the trenches. "And there was the Christmas truce where soldiers from Germany and Britain had a game of football." Bradford Park Avenue player Donald Bell was the first English professional footballer to enlist in the British Army. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 5 July 1916 at Horseshoe Trench on the Somme. He was killed in action on 10 July 1916. Walter Tull was one of England's first black footballers, playing for Tottenham Hotspur and Northampton. He became the British Army's first black officer and was killed in action leading his men into battle on the Western front in 1918. The National Football Museum is working with The Woodland Trust on the For Club and Country project. As well as planting trees at the Langley Vale wood, a digital archive of each team's links with World War One will be created at the museum in Manchester. "Every football fan needs to get involved and make sure their club is remembered in the football groves at Langley Vale Wood," said Sir Trevor. "If you love football as much as I do, please get your team represented and see your own name listed on the supporters' roll of honour."

The centre-right mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, surprised observers by securing almost as many votes as Daniel Scioli, the chosen candidate of the current president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Mr Scioli's focus would be protecting jobs and welfare programmes, he said. Mr Macri said he would address state spending "abuses" and high inflation. The candidate in third place, Sergio Massa, has not said who will get his backing in the second round. President Fernandez was constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. Electoral first With 97% of the votes counted, Mr Scioli was ahead with 36.9% of the vote, while Mr Macri had 34.3%. The result means Mr Scioli, governor of Buenos Aires province and a former world powerboat champion, will have to enter a run-off with Mr Macri on 22 November. It is the first time an Argentine election will be decided by a second round. "Today starts a new election campaign that will decide the future of Argentina," Mr Scioli told reporters. He said the choice was between protecting industry, employment and social welfare, and what he called Mr Macri's proposal "to liberalise the market and take on debt". Mr Macri, a former president of top football club Boca Juniors, said he would try to win over voters who did not choose him on Sunday. "We will correct the abuses and the fraud of inflation,'' he said, referring to his campaign pledges to cut state spending and rein in the inflation rate, which officially stands at 14.5%. Observers say a key role in the run-off campaign could be played by Sergio Massa, who came a distant third with 21.3% of the vote. Mr Massa, a former ally turned rival of President Fernandez, has not said who will get his backing in the second round. Argentina elections: All to play for 14.5% Official, but disputed, inflation level 28.2% the inflation level in 2014, according to the World Bank 0.7% amount IMF predicts the economy will shrink in 2016 Whoever wins the presidency faces significant economic challenges. While the country gained strength after a financial crisis in 2002, its economy, the third-largest in Latin America, has slowed in recent years, with GDP growing by only 0.5% last year. The government is also locked in a battle against American hedge funds who disagree with how it wants to restructure $100bn (??65bn) of debt on which it defaulted in 2001. While the firms successfully sued Argentina for repayment, Ms Fernandez refused to pay.

Powell won bronze at the Tbilisi Judo Grand Prix, but fell to ninth in the world rankings, one spot below automatic selection. The European Championships are in Kazan, Russia from 21-24 April, with Powell hoping to beat Gemma Gibbons to secure Great Britain's -78kg place. "That would definitely secure my spot if I won the Europeans," said Powell. "I don't think there's any catching me after that point." England's Gibbons won silver at the 2012 London Olympics and Powell beat her to win the 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medal. Powell, 25, is four places above 29-year-old Gibbons in the world rankings after beating European junior champion Madeleine Malonga of France to take third place in Tbilisi. "I'm pleased with the medal because it means I've got a few more points towards qualification, but it wasn't the best day of fighting for me," Powell told BBC Radio Wales. "I really struggled in most of my fights. I'd just come off the end of a really concentrated training block and gone straight into competition. "I was quite tired to be honest, but I was really pleased to be able to pull out a result when I was physically probably not in the best shape that I could have been."

You may not recognise her, but she is very quickly climbing the Hollywood ladder, having directed films such as Whale Rider (2002) and the soon-to-be released The Zookeeper's Wife. Her new role at the helm of Mulan will make the New Zealander only the fifth woman to direct a movie budgeted at over $100m (£80.2m). And, money aside, the pressure on the new Mulan is high - fans are watching very closely to see how Disney is managing the project. Which is understandable, because the original animated film was a firm staple in the movie diet of anyone who was under 14 when it came out. The original Mulan grossed $304m (£244m) worldwide when it was released in 1998. It tells the story of a young Chinese girl who who learns that her weak father is to be called upon to join the army. Worrying that he would never survive the hardship of war, she disguises herself and joins in his place. In September, 18 years after it was released, Disney announced Mulan would be the latest film to receive a live-action remake. The studio has also given The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast non-animated makeovers recently. Disney have made clear they intend to shoot the Mulan remake in China, with a mostly Chinese cast. Fans are watching with interest to see who is being hired to star and work on the film, which features mostly Chinese characters. A petition calling on Disney not to "whitewash" the film by casting white actors has attracted more than 111,000 signatures. There have been a number of recent high-profile movies which have been criticised for hiring an actor who is of a different race to the character they're playing. Matt Damon recently denied his casting in The Great Wall had robbed a Chinese actor of the role. The Hollywood-Chinese co-production, directed by Zhang Yimou, features a predominantly Chinese cast, but Damon was given the lead part. Nina, the biopic of singer Nina Simone, also sparked complaints after lead actress Zoe Saldana's skin was made slightly darker on screen. Her casting as Simone was criticised when it was announced in 2012, with the singer's daughter suggesting she was "not the best choice". Prior to Niki Caro's appointment as director of the new Mulan, the only woman to direct a Disney project budgeted at more than $100m was Ava DuVernay. She's currently directing the fantasy adventure A Wrinkle in Time, which is released next year. Outside of the Disney bubble, DuVernay is also the first black woman to direct a movie with a $100m budget in film history. It's an industry-wide problem: Hollywood has notoriously few female directors. Only one - Kathryn Bigelow - has won an Oscar for best director, while just 7% of the directors of the top 250 films of 2016 were women, according to Variety. Could Niki Caro's appointment as the director of Mulan be a small step towards seeing more women behind the camera? Follow us on Facebook,

She was greeted with music and poetry as she arrived at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay at about 11:30 BST on Tuesday. The Only Boys Aloud choir, harpist Anne Denholm and the National Youth Choir of Wales were among the performers. First Minister Carwyn Jones said all AMs had a duty to work together to "deliver for the people we serve". Addressing politicians in the Senedd as she opened the fifth Welsh Assembly, the Queen said the institution was "an achievement in which all who care about Wales can take pride". "Your responsibilities are great and the expectations are high, but I have no doubt you will continue to succeed as you discharge these new duties," she said. "I wish you every success as you prepare to meet the challenges of these constitutional changes, and to help realise the potential of the assembly for future generations." First Minister Carwyn Jones emphasised that "no single party" had a majority in the assembly chamber. "No individual has a monopoly on good ideas and no person should feel excluded from out work," he said. "It's required of us all, a duty, to be true to our values and to respect the mandate on which we were elected but ultimately to work together. "To discuss, to compromise and to act in a respectful way that allows us all, collectively, to deliver for the people we serve." The Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall also attended the royal opening. Children and young people from a range of schools and organisations across Wales gathered on the steps of the Senedd to welcome them. As it happened: Royal opening of the Welsh Assembly A new poem by the National Poet of Wales, Ifor ap Glyn was also presented to mark the Queen's 90th birthday. Presiding Officer Elin Jones urged AMs to show "passion in our debate, prudence in conciliation". "We have been elected by the people of this country, and we commit to being their voice and to providing the standard of service and leadership they deserve and demand of us," she added. The mace was carried into the Senedd chamber by assembly security manager Chetan Patel, before Ms Jones officially welcomes the royal visitors. A large screen outside the Senedd relayed proceedings to members of the public, who were invited inside for free Welsh cakes and tours of the building after the ceremony. Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall later attended a reception with AMs at the Wales Millennium Centre, and viewed the field of poppies outside its entrance which commemorates soldiers who died in World War One. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh also opened a new £44m brain research centre at Cardiff University.
