Mrs May said areas of the internet must be closed because tech giants provided a "safe space" for terrorist ideology. But the Open Rights Group said social media firms were not the problem, while an expert in radicalisation branded her criticism "intellectually lazy". Twitter, Facebook and Google said they were working hard to fight extremism. Google (which owns Youtube) Facebook (which owns WhatsApp) and Twitter were among tech companies already facing pressure to tackle extremist content - pressure that intensified on Sunday. Mrs May said: "We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. "Yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies... provide." On ITV's Peston on Sunday, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said an international agreement was needed for social media companies to do more to stop radicalisation. "One (requirement) is to make sure they do more to take down the material that is radicalising people," Mrs Rudd said. "And secondly, to help work with us to limit the amount of end-to-end encryption that otherwise terrorists can use," she said. But the Open Rights Group, which campaigns for privacy and free speech online, warned that politicians risked pushing terrorists' "vile networks" into the "darker corners of the web" by more regulation. "The internet and companies like Facebook are not the cause of hate and violence, but tools that can be abused. "While governments and companies should take sensible measures to stop abuse, attempts to control the internet is not the simple solution that Theresa May is claiming," Open Rights said. Professor Peter Neumann, director of the International Centre For The Study Of Radicalisation at King's College London, was also critical of Mrs May. He wrote on Twitter: "Big social media platforms have cracked down on jihadist accounts, with result that most jihadists are now using end-to-end encrypted messenger platforms e.g. Telegram. "This has not solved problem, just made it different... moreover, few people (are) radicalised exclusively online. Blaming social media platforms is politically convenient but intellectually lazy." However, Dr Julia Rushchenko, a London-based research fellow at the Henry Jackson Centre for Radicalisation and Terrorism, told the BBC that Mrs May was right, and that more could be done by tech giants to root out such content. She felt that the companies erred on the side of privacy, not security. "We all know that social media companies have been a very helpful tool for hate preachers and for extremists," Dr Rushchenko said. The online world had been a recruiting aid for foreign fighters, and social media needed "stricter monitoring", both by government agencies and by third party groups that have been created to flag up extremist content. However, the major social media firms said on Sunday that they were working hard to rid their networks of terrorist activity and support. Facebook said: "Using a combination of technology and human review, we work aggressively to remove terrorist content from our platform as soon as we become aware of it - and if we become aware of

Under the deal, Mr Elop will receive 18 months of his salary and money from incentive and share schemes. Mr Elop moved from Microsoft to run Nokia in September 2010 and will return to his former employer when the deal is completed. Microsoft will fund 70% of his pay-off, which has sparked anger in Finland. The nation's economy minister, Jan Vapaavuori, reportedly said: "I find it difficult to understand the merits of this bonus." Earlier this month Microsoft agreed a deal to buy Nokia's mobile phone business for $7.2bn. The purchase is set to be completed in early 2014, when about 32,000 Nokia employees will transfer to Microsoft. Nokia shareholders are due to vote on the deal on 19 November. In information provided for shareholders ahead of that meeting, Nokia explained in detail Mr Elop's compensation. When the deal with Microsoft was signed on 3 September, Mr Elop agreed to step down as Nokia chief executive and take a new job at Microsoft when the deal is completed. Due to that change Nokia says that he is entitled to 18 months of his salary and what Nokia describes as a "management short term cash incentive" which combined are worth $5.7m. He is also entitled to share awards worth $19.7m. When Mr Elop took charge at Nokia in September 2010 he became the first non-Finn to run the company. In February 2011, he sent a warning memo to staff describing Nokia as a company standing on a "burning platform" surrounded by innovative competitors who were taking its market share. Mr Elop decided that the company should abandon its own operating software for smartphones and instead use Microsoft's technology. The first phones were launched in September 2012, but have failed to reclaim market share from Apple and smartphones running Android software.

Rothley Post Office, which villagers said was due to close in four days, was targeted at about 03:40 GMT on Tuesday. Leicestershire Police said a forklift-type vehicle - believed to have been stolen from a nearby building site - was used to smash the shop. The suspects then made off with the machine in another vehicle. This vehicle was later found burned in a field in Belton, Rutland. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire Commenting on the raid, a local coffee shop tweeted there were "unbelievable scenes" in the village, north of Leicester, saying the post office had been "gutted". Police are appealing for witnesses.

Media playback is not supported on this device Kris Boyd's double helped Clark to his first victory since taking over as Kilmarnock boss. "When we got a little bit of luck in the final third we won the game, which we have been threatening to do for a few weeks now," said Clark. "We have not had the luck and I thought it was going to go against us again when Kris Boyd hit the post." Media playback is not supported on this device Despite bottom club Dundee United losing, Clark would not be drawn on whether or not the spectre of automatic relegation was now unlikely for the Rugby Park side. Instead he is focused on escaping the bottom two places. "I won't change my tune," Clark told BBC Scotland. "What other teams do we can't affect until we play against them, so we just have to concentrate on our results. "Five huge games coming up now from the split and it is in our hands because if we beat the teams in and around us it gives us an opportunity to get above them and get out of the position we are in." It was a second straight defeat for St Johnstone, but manager Tommy Wright felt the scoreline was harsh on his players. "If you look at the scoreline, you would think we have been battered," he said. "That has not been the case. "We started the game well, were in total control, had the crowd going at them a little bit. They put one decent ball into the box and nearly scored off it. That gave them a lift and for five minutes we lost our way and conceded a goal in that period." Despite the defeat St Johnstone will finish the season once again in the top six, and Wright says his players deserve praise for their overall performances over the course of the season. "When you look at what we have done this year, the players have a lot to be proud of," he said. "[We] sold one of our best players [Michael O'Halloran to Rangers] as well in the middle of it and we have dealt with everything that has been thrown at us. We will recover and hopefully go again in the split, fourth place is very much up for grabs."

Many students have been arrested after the brutal attack in the northern city of Mardan, and the campus has been closed. Reports suggest that two young men were accused of posting offensive content on Facebook. One survived with injuries. Blasphemy is a highly sensitive and incendiary issue in Pakistan. Critics say blasphemy laws, which allow the death penalty in some cases, are often misused to oppress minorities. There have been other cases where people accused of it have been killed by an angry crowd. The murdered student has been identified as Mashal Khan, who studied journalism. Some reports say he was shot, while others say he was beaten to death with planks. "He was badly tortured after being shot at a close range... He was beaten with sticks, bricks and hands," senior police official Niaz Saeed told the AFP news agency. Hundreds of people were involved, the officer said. Graphic video footage of the incident has emerged online. Police had not been investigating the two accused men, nor had any case been filed against them, and the mob appeared to have acted on rumours, the Dawn newspaper reports. Last month Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif voiced his support for a wide-ranging crackdown on blasphemous content on social media. In a statement on his party's official Twitter account, he described blasphemy as an "unpardonable offence". An official at Abdul Wali Khan University who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mr Khan was disliked by other students for his liberal and secular views. At least 65 people have been murdered in Pakistan after being accused of blasphemy since 1990, a recent think tank report said.

The sizes and weights of the creatures are recorded by zookeepers so they can monitor the creatures' health and well-being. BBC News looks at the facts and figures behind the event. Why do they carry out the weigh-in? There are currently 20,166 animals and 698 different species at the zoo. While statistics are taken during the year, the zoo say it holds the annual weigh-in to ensure measurements are up-to-date and accurate. "Weight is a particularly important indicator of health, and we can even detect pregnancies through a growing waist line," ZSL's zoological manager Mark Habben said. The results are recorded in a database so that zoos around the world can compare information and check their animals are normal and healthy. What is the heaviest and the lightest animal? The heaviest creature in London Zoo is Ellish the giraffe. The female weighs in at 850kg (133 stone) and stands at 15ft (4.5m) tall. The lightest creature is a leaf cutter ant which weighs between three and five milligrams (0.0001 oz - 0.0002 oz) How did some of the animals measure up? How are the animals measured? The keepers have to use various methods to get the creatures on the scales. The penguins are tricked into walking on to the scales using fish while squirrel monkeys follow a blue ball on a stick. For larger animals, the scales are disguised as patches of grass in order to record their statistics. How does this work help animals in the wild? Much of what is known about the typical weights and measurements of animals has been discovered in zoos. London Zoo said it meant that people who were studying wild animals could use the zoo's measurements to get a better idea about them. For example, conservationists in Indonesia are able to tell the rough ages of the tigers they are tracking by measuring the size of their paw prints and comparing them to animals in zoos.

Health officials admit they are worried by the timing, as the kingdom prepares to welcome around two million Muslims for the Hajj next month. Mers infections have been recorded in countries across the Middle East, Europe and Asia. The virus first emerged in Saudi Arabia in 2012. The World Health Organization (WHO) says many of the recent cases are associated with an outbreak at a hospital in Riyadh. Mers is caused by a coronavirus, a type of virus which includes the common cold and Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Globally, at least 515 people have died as a result of Mers since September 2012, according to the WHO.

The centre, 24, came through Sale's academy and was the youngest player to sign a professional deal with the Sharks aged 16. Jennings, who has represented England youth level, has made six Premiership appearances for Sale this season. "He has stayed loyal to the club since joining and he will play a big part in what we are building at the club," Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond said. Jennings becomes the 13th player to recently sign a new contract at 10th-placed Sale, with George Nott and brothers Ben and Tom Curry also committing their futures to the club this month. His new deal also follows the returns of Will Cliff and Marc Jones from Bristol and the signing of Scotland international Josh Strauss from Glasgow.

If a party holds a majority of seats on any particular council, it is deemed to be in control of that council. Council control prior to the election has long been defined by the BBC, PA and others as which party has the majority on the eve of the poll. So if a council was won by the Conservatives in 2010, but then through defections and by-election losses became No Overall Control in 2012, in 2014 we would describe it as a Conservative gain should the party regain its majority. The BBC shows seat change by comparing the seats each party is contesting this year with the result for the same seats at the last comparable election. In many councils, only a third or half of seats are contested in each election. Council pages display the new total seats for each party. Some councils holding elections this year also held 'all seats up' elections in 2012. In these cases, the comparison is made with the 2012 result. In councils where there have been boundary changes - resulting in a different number of seats up for election this year - the BBC uses a notional figure to project what the previous result would have been. Notional results are compiled by BBC analysts. Until 2013 the BBC, in conjunction with the Press Association and many other media organisations, based seat change on the number of seats held by each party at the time the council was officially dissolved before the election. This data was compiled into a data "baseline" and election results then compared with this baseline to show seat change for each council and nationwide. Basing seat change on previous electoral performance brought local elections into line with BBC policy for general elections. Abbreviations are mainly used to abbreviate parties.

There are also five elections for directly-elected mayors - in Hackney, Lewisham, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Watford. There are no local elections in Wales or Scotland this year. Approximately half of councils will begin counting ballots as soon as polls close at 2200 on 22 May. These councils are expected to declare results overnight. Other councils will start their counts on Friday morning, with the remaining results expected to come from midday on Friday. In this set of elections, three types of council are involved - metropolitan boroughs, district councils and unitary authorities. Metropolitan borough councils are responsible for nearly all important public services in major urban areas, including education, planning,

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.94% at 17,828.76 points, while the Nasdaq was 1.45% higher at 5,127.15 points. At the same time, the S&P 500 index was up 1.19% at 2,104.05 points. Data from the Commerce Department showed construction of new homes and highways reached a seven-year high. Petroleum companies had a strong day. ExxonMobil was up 3.1% and Chevron was up 4.5%. Credit card firm Visa failed to impress investors with its plan to buy Visa Europe, currently under separate ownership. The firm, which also announced lower than expected quarterly profits, topped the losers' list on the Dow, falling 3%. Valeant Pharmaceuticals was up 7.2% after weeks on a downward streak. The drug maker was accused by short seller Citron, of using a speciality pharmacy to misprice drugs. Shares rebounded on the news Citron would not publish new allegations.

The £600,000 Cathkin Braes Mountain Bike Trails has a 5.5km circuit and will be free to use by the public before and after the 2014 games. It is suitable for all abilities and has mixed terrain, such as moorland, woodland and hillside bedrock. The trail was designed by Phil Saxena, the man behind the Beijing Olympic mountain bike course. He worked on the project with a team from Glasgow City Council. Councillor Archie Graham, executive member for the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow City Council, said: "Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and there has already been huge interest in these trails from riders in the city and much further afield. "Even before they were finished, everyone from elite athletes to local kids were visiting the site and trying out each new challenge. "This is a really exciting addition to Glasgow's top class sporting facilities - and, like all of the council venues that will be used during the Games, it is open to the public more than a year before the Opening Ceremony."

The crash happened at about 01:35 BST on Saturday in Drift Road near its junction with Ascot Road. A black Audi A4 Sport Cabriolet left the carriageway and the driver, a 49-year-old man from Maidenhead, died at the scene. Thames Valley Police said his family had been informed and appealed for witnesses to the crash to come forward. The A330 was closed while officers investigated the circumstances of the collision and reopened shortly after 07:00 BST.

"I had a text from her yesterday," the pop mogul said at the launch of a charity to help burns victims. "She is on the mend and looking forward to coming back to work." Cole, 27, was diagnosed with malaria after collapsing last week, forcing her to pull out of V Festival and the boot camp stage of The X Factor. On Friday she left intensive care and was transferred to a private clinic. It is believed she contracted the disease during a six-day visit to Tanzania, on Africa's east coast, with friend Derek Hough. Cowell was joined at Tuesday's event by Katie Piper, an aspiring TV presenter scarred in 2008 when she had sulphuric acid thrown in her face. The 26-year-old underwent more than 40 operations on her face and throat that included groundbreaking surgery at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Cowell described Piper as an "inspiration" as he backed her plan to set up a specialist burns rehabilitation centre offering medical treatment and emotional support. "I was really touched by her story which is why I wanted to meet her," he told reporters.

Mr Hussain is the candidate of the ruling PML-N party. He faced a challenge from Wajihuddin Ahmad of the PTI. The main opposition PPP boycotted the poll in protest at the date of the vote being changed. Pakistan's largely ceremonial president is elected by members of parliament and the four provincial assemblies. The incumbent has no political power. Correspondents say Mr Hussain's victory was all but assured after voting began on Tuesday morning because of his party's majority in the National Assembly and the assembly of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province. Unofficial results on state television showed that he had won a convincing majority in both houses of the National Assembly, and is on course to win a large majority in Punjab. Local media has reported that he is likely to secure more than 400 of the 674 electoral votes. Q&A: Pakistan's presidential electionProfile: Pakistani President-elect Mamnoon Hussain Mr Zardari's five-year term ends on 8 September. He replaced former military ruler Pervez Musharraf and agreed to constitutional amendments in 2010 that handed many of the president's powers to the prime minister. Mr Zardari's main achievement is seen as having presided over Pakistan's first civilian government to serve a full term. But his time in office was dogged by confrontation with the military and judiciary. His government did little to address mounting economic problems and the country remains beset by a Taliban insurgency. The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) said last week that it was boycotting the elections because it had not been given enough time to campaign. The Supreme Court had brought the vote forward from 6 August to 30 July. Ruling party members had complained the first date clashed with the pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that the outcome of the election was pretty much a foregone conclusion - and because the incumbent has little or no real power the vote itself failed to capture the imagination of the Pakistani public. Mr Hussain, a former Sindh province governor, is seen as being close to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

By changing a "few percent", Apple app makers should be able to run code on Windows 10 mobile devices, it said. And many Android apps should run with no changes. Experts said the move was an "imperfect solution" to Microsoft's problems persuading people to use Windows mobile. For iOS, Microsoft has unveiled an initiative called Project Islandwood, which has led to the creation of a software interpreter that works with the development tools Apple coders typically pick. By piping code through this interpreter and changing a few other parts, it would be possible to transfer or port iOS apps to Windows 10, Microsoft said in a presentation at its Build developer conference in Seattle. Already developers working for game-maker King have ported the massively popular Candy Crush Saga to Windows using these tools. A separate initiative, called Project Astoria, is aimed at Android and involves code built in to Windows itself that spots when an Android app is running and gives it the responses it expects. Microsoft said this meant many Android apps would run with no changes on Windows mobile devices. However, the way that Android is built means changes will have to be made to some apps. The tactic is seen as a way for Microsoft to to boost its popularity and persuade developers to include Windows 10 in their plans. While many apps are already available on the Windows store, some popular ones, such as Pinterest and Plants v Zombies 2, are absent. Microsoft has also added tools that let Android apps reach some parts of Windows, such as its Cortana personal assistant, they would not otherwise be able to use. CCS Insight analyst Geoff Blaber said: "The decision to embrace Android and iOS applications is an imperfect solution to an undesirable problem. "Nonetheless, it's a necessary move to attract developers otherwise lost to Apple and Google."

The former neurosurgeon served as both an MP and MSP and held the post of education minister in Scotland's first devolved government. Scottish Labour MP Alistair Darling described Mr Galbraith as, "a dedicated politician, and a very dear friend". He was one of the world's longest surviving lung transplant patients, undergoing the procedure in 1990. Speaking on behalf of Mr Galbraith's family, Mr Darling said: "Sam Galbraith died this morning in Glasgow's Western Infirmary after contracting an infection which proved impossible for him to overcome. "Sam was a brilliant neurosurgeon, a dedicated politician, and a very dear friend. "But above all, he was devoted to his family, to Nicola and their three daughters - Mhairi, Heather and Fiona - who are foremost in our thoughts." Mr Darling added: "Sam was believed to be the world's longest-surviving lung transplant patient. "It was extraordinary how he continued to contribute and achieve so much throughout the 25 years that he lived with his condition. "Sam's professional life and immense talents were devoted to the care and betterment of others, through the National Health Service and in his deep political commitment. He was a great humanitarian. "His work and his life touched countless lives." Mr Galbraith's family also thanked staff at the Glasgow Western Infirmary for their care, as well as staff at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital, where he received his lung transplant. He was not expected to live for more than two years after the procedure. Mr Galbraith was once quoted as saying that, having been so close to death, he was not overawed by the hurly-burly of political life. The father-of-three, born in Clitheroe, Lancashire, and educated at Greenock High School and Glasgow University, was first elected to represent Strathkelvin and Bearsden at Westminster in 1987 and served as health minister in the pre-devolution Scottish Office. Mr Galbraith - one of the world's leading brain surgeons before swapping the operating theatre for the political stage - was appointed education minister in Donald Dewar's first cabinet, after the establishment of the Scottish Parliament. Within months he had to defuse threats of a teachers' strike over pay. 'Distinguished neurosurgeon' He also had to deal with the Scottish exams fiasco in 2000, which saw thousands of students, from Standard Grade through to sixth year level, affected by inaccurate or incomplete results. He laid responsibility for the crisis firmly at the door of the Scottish Qualifications Authority, telling Parliament at the time: "Again and again I and my officials raised specific concerns. Again and again we were offered reassurances that - at the end of the day - were worthless." Mr Galbraith also found himself with a central role in the long-running battle over a move by the Scottish government to scrap Section 28, which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools. The row, which saw Scottish businessman Brian Souter fund a campaign aimed at keeping the clause, eventually drew to a close after Mr Galbraith accepted a recommendation that marriage should be spotlighted within the legally

In the 1970 general election, all bar one had predicted the wrong result and their performance in the two 1974 general elections was charitably described as "unhappy". Why then should we be interested in the latest poll conducted by NatCen and published in the British Social Attitudes (BSA) series? The answer is that here we are dealing with the quality end of polling. The underperforming polls in the 2015 general election were conducted quickly over a few days and by telephone or via the internet. The BSA poll on attitudes to Europe was conducted face-to-face with 3,000 respondents between July and early November 2015. Professor John Curtice, who presents the findings, is also able to draw on a great treasury of past data that the BSA has accumulated in its annual surveys stretching back three decades. The survey suggests that 60% favoured continuing EU membership, compared with 30% who favoured withdrawal. A strong lead, but half the 60% lead for staying registered in 1991. And support for remaining is not unqualified: the survey also found that 43% preferred a looser relationship with the EU than at present - a view shared by 43% of Scots as well. What are the main pressure points in our current relationship with the EU? The BSA highlights four from the evidence they have gathered: The survey also suggests that there is also a deeper issue at play in all this. When asked 'How much do you agree or disagree that being a member of the European Union is undermining Britain's distinctive identity?' some 47% agreed, compared with 30% who disagreed. For many concerned about our national identity, the issue of EU migrants plays an important part in their judgement; 57% of respondents believed immigration would be lower if Britain did leave the EU. Much of this would seem to offer very fertile territory for those advocating the UK's departure from the European Union. However, this is where things begin to get more complicated. In the face of these significant concerns, why do the same respondents give a 30-point majority to continuing membership? It seems clear that even large dollops of scepticism are not sufficient to persuade enough people that Britain should actually leave the EU. The missing ingredient in all this appears to be the economy. As the report states: "For scepticism to translate into support for withdrawal, voters need also to be convinced of the economic case for leaving. And at present most are not." Indeed, only 24% believe that Britain's economy would be better off if Britain left the EU, while as many as 40% feel it would be worse off. It seems to me that the real battleground in the 2016 EU referendum campaign, the territory where the battle will be won or lost, is to be found in two key statistics identified in the report. It says: "Only two in five (40%) of those who believe that the EU is undermining Britain's identity but who are not convinced that the

The UK's chief medical officers say new research shows any amount of alcohol can increase the risk of cancer. The new advice says men and women who drink regularly should consume no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine. Pregnant women should not drink at all. It also says if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free. Nor should people "save up" their units and drink them all in one or two goes. Heavy drinking sessions increase the risk of accidents and injury, it says. The guidance marks the first full review of alcohol guidelines since 1995, although updated advice on drinking in pregnancy and for young people was published in 2007 and 2009 respectively. In relation to pregnant women, the new guidelines bring the rest of the UK in line with Scotland and recommend that pregnant women should not drink at all. It marks a subtle shift from previous guidance for people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland which, while suggesting they should not drink, said that if they did, it should be no more than one or two units of alcohol once or twice a week, and they should not get drunk. Previous government guidance set out daily drinking limits of three to four units for men and two to three for women. The new guidance moves to weekly limits to get away from the idea that drinking every day is fine. The new 14 units limit therefore represents a cut in drinking levels for both men and women, although since 1995 doctors' groups have been advising that over the course of a week men should limit themselves to 21 units and women 14 units - the lower end of the daily range the government has been advising. So in effect the government guidance has caught up with the medical advice - and gone a bit further. On drinking in pregnancy, the new advice is unambiguous. Women should not drink. Previously women in Wales, Northern Ireland and England had been told not to drink but if they did to limit it. The latest guidance makes it clear people should be teetotal on some days and that heavy drinking sessions should be avoided. The 1995 guidelines did not set this out categorically. The old advice suggested that men should drink no more than three to four units a day and women two to three, with a 48-hour break after heavy drinking sessions. But now the guidance does not differentiate between men and women, reducing recommended intake to 14 units across the whole week. The fear was that by having a daily limit it suggested it was alright to drink every day. The guidance makes it clear that should not happen, and there are no safe drinking levels - with the exception that women over the age of 55 can get some benefit to their hearts from a

BBC Radio Leeds reports the German club approached Wagner on Monday, but the former USA international rejected the offer on Tuesday. The 45-year-old ex-Borussia Dortmund second-team coach took over at the Terriers in November 2015. Town, who have won their last three games, are fourth in the Championship, 10 points behind leaders Newcastle. "There have been a lot of rumours around my future in the media and although I don't believe I should be the story, I cannot stay silent on this matter," Wagner said. "It is correct that there has been interest from a few Bundesliga clubs. They have obviously seen the way we are going at Huddersfield Town and the journey we have been on together over the last 12 months. "It's important for me to clarify that my focus is on moving forward at Huddersfield Town." Huddersfield led the table in October and have been one of the surprise packages of the campaign, having finished 19th last season. Wolfsburg, who reached the Champions League quarter-finals last season, are 15th in Germany's top flight. Wagner has previously been linked with managerial vacancies at Championship rivals Aston Villa and Bundesliga club Ingolstadt this season. "Huddersfield Town may not be a Bundesliga club or one that plays in European competition, but make no mistake - we are a serious, proud, ambitious club with a rich history," chairman Dean Hoyle said. "Perhaps this isn't clear to some of our colleagues in the media in Germany considering the tone of some articles that were published over the last 48 hours. "We are not to be toyed with or dismissed out of hand. We have values and always conduct ourselves in the right manner; something that cannot be said for other clubs. "I think David's ongoing commitment to Huddersfield Town is testament to this club and its standing. He's turned down several advances from Bundesliga clubs during his time here, the latest coming very, very recently." The Terriers are next in action when they host Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day.

The Mexican government said almost 100 raids had been carried out in 12 countries. Three girls aged between nine and 15 were rescued in Mexico, a government commission said in a statement. Computers were seized that were allegedly used to post indecent videos on the internet. The Mexican National Security Commission said searches were carried out in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Spain, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela. "Operation Without Borders" was aimed at "breaking various structures dedicated to the distribution of pornographic material of children via the internet", the commission said in a statement. A fourth girl was rescued as part of the operation but the commission did not specify in which country. The raids come two months after Spanish police arrested more than 80 people in raids targeting images of child sex abuse.

Founded in 2002 by Jonathan Abrams and Ross MacKinnon - two computer programmers working in Silicon Valley, California - Friendster burst onto the scene in March 2003. It was, Mr Abrams was rumoured to have said, a great way to meet girls. By the autumn of 2003 it had amassed three million users and secured millions of dollars worth of investment. Mr Abrams was thrust onto the covers of top magazines and appeared on late-night US talk shows. MySpace, Bebo and Facebook were still nowhere to be seen. Friendster, with its rapidly growing userbase, had the biggest headstart in a race which would come to define the decade. It is a race Friendster ended up losing. Eight years on from its Silicon Valley beginnings, the website barely resembles its original self. A string of software glitches and slow performance plagued the site, and, as competitors loomed, the number of active users plummeted. In the years that followed, many of the brains behind Friendster's early success moved on to other projects - perhaps ruing early missed chances to sell up to Google. And as visitor numbers continue to dwindle, the future appears bleak for the godfather of huge social networks. There may be a twist in the tale yet, though. In December 2009 Friendster was acquired by MOL Global, Asia's leading "online payment solutions provider". While Friendster has all but disappeared from the radar in the US, its take-up in Asia is still strong, and MOL Global is intent on making that count. The site says 90% of its entire traffic comes from from the continent, and Friendster is neck and neck with Facebook in countries like Malaysia and the Philippines. But the company cannot rest on its laurels - it learned that lesson the hard way when, according to the New York Times, Friendster scoffed at early incarnations of MySpace and Bebo. It is now hoping its latest product launch will be the start of a highly profitable resurgence. Friendster Games will draw on the massive success of Farmville, a Facebook-based social game that allows players to build and maintain a farm. Listen to Digital Planet Over 50 million people play Farmville every month - many spending real-world money in order to obtain "Farm cash" to spend on their farms. It is a model which excites Ganesh Kumar Bangah, MOL Global's CEO. "If you'd asked me three years ago whether Farmville, a game where you can go and basically build your farm by buying cows etc would be very popular, I would say you were crazy," he told BBC World Service's Jennifer Pak. He estimates that the social gaming industry will be worth $5 billion by 2012, and Friendster wants a large piece of it. "Just because Friendster started first and lost market share to a competitor, it doesn't mean it cannot re-engineer itself, or re-evolve itself, and be successful again," Mr Ganesh insists. The site offers a suite of games that can be played - like Farmville - directly

Marie Logie's body was found in her first-floor flat in Green Gates, Leven, at 20:00 on Tuesday. She had last been seen alive at 08:00 that day. Police said she was the victim of a "brutal and horrendous attack" and had sustained head injuries. Her family paid tribute to the "beloved mother, grandmother and friend". Mrs Logie was said to be independent, capable and was an active member of the local church. The Reverend Gilbert Nisbet, of Leven Parish Church, said: "The whole community is shocked. "There are many church members here who will be alarmed such a thing could have happened within the community at Leven." Mr Nisbet said Mrs Logie was an active person and only recently gave up driving. "We do lunches on a Tuesday and Friday at the church and she came every week," he added. "It is very strange and we cannot imagine why this has happened." Detectives said there were no signs of a break in and so far no clear motive, but they said Mrs Logie was murdered in "a brutal" way. She had spent the festive period with one of her sons in England, returning home in the new year. Police said Mrs Logie's neighbour had spoken to her in the morning. She told the neighbour she was going to the shops and then to the hospital to visit a friend. When the neighbour did not hear from Mrs Logie again she went to investigate and found her dead in her home.

That's what the old song says. But it could just as well become the mantra for the parties' election strategists composing the mood music for that snap general election on Thursday 8 June. Nowhere more so than in this region of swing seats seen, yet again, as key to deciding who wins and loses. If the opinion polls are anywhere near right, and recent history reminds us they may not be, then Labour face a tough fight to hang on to what they hold. Nowhere more so than in: Labour MP Paul Farrelly's slender 650 majority puts his seat at the top of the Conservatives' target list in our part of the country. They require a swing of under 0.8%. And Mr Farrelly's determined opposition to Brexit may not exactly help either, in a constituency which overwhelmingly voted Leave. He was the only Midlands Labour MP to defy his party and vote against Theresa May triggering Article 50. Labour's Rob Marris lost this perpetual swing seat to the Conservatives in 2010 but regained it from them in 2015. This time he has decided to go of his own accord. Having already announced his decision to stand down he invites the inevitable charge that he has jumped before the Tories push him. They require a swing here of just 1.0%. Once regarded as another swing seat, Northfield has developed an air of permanence in Labour's hands. It's been held ever since 1992 by Shadow Transport Minister Richard Burden, despite a concerted challenge by David Cameron's party in 2015. But Mr Burden may find it harder to survive this time. The Conservatives need a swing of under 3%. To this 'top three' we can add further seats where Labour would be vulnerable according to the current ratings. In alphabetical order: But if the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn is right that the election "is not a foregone conclusion", then his strategists will have their eyes on those seats where the Conservatives have majorities under 5,000: Even though the Conservatives won an overall majority in 2015, this was the only Midlands seat they gained from Labour. This time, Lucy Allan's 730 majority could look even more perilous if the apparently endless tug-of-war over the centralisation of Shropshire's hospital services either in her town or in Shrewsbury inflicts collateral damage on her campaign. Labour need a swing of under 1%. Labour missed out on their prime Midlands target last time. In the event, the Conservatives increased their majority to just under 3,000. But in an area which includes the former mining areas around Atherstone and Coleshill, this has to be on Labour's hit-list once again. They need a swing of 3.2% . Another of Labour's missed targets in 2015. The incumbent Conservative, James Morris, increased his majority to over 3,000. But this seat is a solitary example of Tory blue in the Labour stronghold of Sandwell, so they will be fighting hard for the 3.5% swing they need to unseat him. Labour will also be

The £1.7bn project was approved by the park authority last month. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) said ministers had decided not to call in the planning applications. Almost 30 environmental and leisure organisations had urged rejection of the plans. The area's three Conservative MPs and two local councils came out in support of the plan, claiming it would "transform" the local economy. Developers Sirius Minerals plan to build the mine near Whitby and construct a 23-mile (37km) tunnel to transport the potash to a Teesside processing plant. Chris Fraser, managing director and CEO of Sirius, said: "This is yet another positive step forward on our pathway to developing the project and increasing shareholder value." Sirius has claimed the mine would deliver at least 1,000 permanent jobs. Speaking after the park authority approved the application on 30 June, Ruth Bradshaw, from the Campaign for National Parks, said she was "disappointed" at the decision. "We have long maintained that this project is completely incompatible with National Park purposes and that the promised economic benefits could never justify the huge damage that it would do to the area's landscape and wildlife, and to the local tourism economy," she said. The group said it was considering a legal challenge against the building of the mine. The North York Moors National Park Authority said it was working with Sirius on the final details of the plan "with a view to issuing a decision notice by the end of September 2015". The mine is expected to be operating within five years.

All 129 MSPs have been invited to nominate a "local hero" to join the historic Riding of Parliament, from Edinburgh Castle along the Royal Mile. A football coach, a Brownies leader, and a number of charity fundraisers are among those who have been selected. The Queen will officially open the fifth session of the parliament. BBC Scotland has spoken to some of those nominated as local heroes. Wheelchair athlete Shelby Watson, from Johnstonebridge in Dumfries and Galloway, was born with cerebral palsy. But the 18-year-old has never let her condition stand in the way of her ambitions on the track. She currently holds the world records in the T33 class at 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m, as well as the three mile marathon and the seven mile marathon. The champion was nominated to take part in the Scottish Parliament opening ceremony by her local MSP, Joan McAlpine, who described her as an "exceptional young woman". "Shelby's achievements are truly inspirational," she said. "She has only been wheelchair racing for a few years but has already broken international records and collected gold medals for Scotland. "As well as conducting her own training she coaches younger children. She never lets her disability define her and is a very inspirational young woman." Over four decades, Gerry Akroyd has become as familiar a figure on Skye as the Cuillins themselves. A lifelong mountaineer, he began leading the island's mountain rescue team in 1973 - just a year after relocating to Scotland from the north of England. Now aged 71, he admits that his role is now more about organising and delegating than scaling the mountains. "I still get up the hill but I'm not as fast as I was," he said. The grandfather, who became an MBE in 2009, was nominated by MSP Kate Forbes, who wanted to recognise the work of all the mountain rescue teams in her constituency of Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch. "Volunteers, and it's important to remember that the mountain rescue teams are volunteers, go out in all weathers whenever the call goes out," she said. The MSP added: "We have fantastic terrain in Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch that attracts thousands of climbers and walkers every year, most of whom come to no harm. "In the unfortunate cases where rescues and searches are required, it's a blessing to have the ready, sacrificial dedication of the mountain rescue teams." When the RNLI closed St Abbs lifeboat station in September 2015, residents of the tiny Borders village vowed to fight back. Led by former London banker Euan Gibson, the community of just over 100 people raised more than £400,000 to establish an independent lifeboat station. A new lifeboat, to be named after Thomas Tunnock, the grandfather of the largest donor, Boyd Tunnock, is expected to be delivered next month. Mr Gibson, who was nominated by Paul Wheelhouse MSP, said: "I was surprised - I never did this for any recognition. "The lifeboat is an integral part of the community and it

It includes the construction of new tracks, the renovation of stations and the upgrade of existing lines. The announcement comes after it emerged that Network Rail was expecting a record fine of £70m for delays suffered by passengers over the past five years. It blamed congestion and extreme weather for the delays, but said it was disappointed by its performance. In a statement accompanying Monday's announcement about its investment plans Mark Carne, chief executive of Network Rail, said: "Passenger numbers in recent years have grown far beyond even our own industry's predictions, so it's vital that this investment over the next five years helps meet the continuing increase in demand for rail travel. "Bigger, better stations, more tracks and longer platforms, electric-powered trains, reopened railway lines and fewer level crossings - all will help deliver more frequent, more comfortable, more reliable journeys and a safer, better-value railway for everyone," he said. The plan, which runs from 2014 to 2019, includes: In addition to those new projects, £13bn will be put into replacing and renewing old tracks, points, fencing and platforms. David Sidebottom, acting chief executive of rail watchdog group Passenger Focus, said: "The £38bn investment for Network Rail over the next five years is welcome, particularly during difficult economic times. "Passengers should ultimately see an improved rail service bringing the things they tell us they want: improved punctuality, reliable trains with more seats." Alluding to the fine expected to be imposed on Network Rail for delays, he added: "Punctuality should be a particular focus given the priority passengers give to it." Mr Carne told the BBC that "huge growth in passenger numbers over the past five years" had contributed to punctuality issues. "The train network is becoming more and more busy, and that's why we have to invest again to increase the capacity, to improve the reliability still further," he said. Network Rail says it also wants to improve the network's ability to withstand extreme weather. Mr Carne said: "Over the next five years we will work tirelessly to improve the resilience of our railway, targeting investment in areas we know are vulnerable to nature's impact and reducing the likelihood of damage and disruption." Storms in February destroyed the main line at Dawlish in Devon, cutting rail services to Cornwall. "I don't think in this century we should be having railways that are out of action for two months as we've suffered in Dawlish," Mr Carne told the BBC. "It's quite clear we need to invest further in improving the resilience of our network." Network Rail expects the line to reopen on 4 April. Dawlish was just one example of a town cut off from the network by bad weather, Mr Carne said. Network Rail has just reopened the line to Hastings after several weeks of closure due to landslips. "We've suffered an enormous amount of damage to the railway right across the network, and that's one of the reasons why our punctuality figures have been lower than we would

The Bears lost their third One-Day Cup match of the season by 36 runs, as record-breaking Nottinghamshire piled up 415-5 at Trent Bridge on Wednesday. "Guys are hitting it miles these days and are very skilful," Brown said. "The Notts batters played at a tempo more akin to Twenty20." Despite defeat, the Bears still totalled 379 in their run chase against the Outlaws - their highest ever score in List A cricket against another first-class county. And Brown is adamant his side, One-Day Cup runners up in 2014, do not need any radical re-thinking of their approach. "We know we've tended to play a slightly conservative 50-over game - that's worked for us in the past so we don't need to go too far away from that," Brown told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire. "We want to try and keep up to date with the modern advances the game is making and show an intent that befits the competition. "The batsmen are 360 these days - they can hit the ball back over the bowler's head or over the wicketkeeper's head. "The bottom line is the ball will go out of the park if you're off your lines." Warwickshire, who have one win and two defeats in the One-Day Cup campaign so far, are back in T20 Blast action against Yorkshire Vikings on Friday at Edgbaston.

The machine was first used to crack messages sent by Hitler and his generals on 5 February 1944. The celebration will bring together some of the machine's creators and operators at The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC). The machine's code-cracking prowess will be demonstrated on the day using the museum's rebuilt Colossus. Now widely recognised as the first electronic computer, Colossus was kept a secret for 30 years because of the sensitive work it did during World War Two to crack German codes. The work of the Colossus machines to decipher messages scrambled using the Lorenz enciphering machine that passed between the Wehrmacht's commanders is widely thought to have shortened the war and saved countless lives. Colossus was created by Post Office engineer Tommy Flowers, and his first prototype was built out of parts from telephone exchanges including 1,600 valves. Later versions used even more valves and by the end of the war 10 of the machines were in use in the UK. The celebrations will bring together some of the women who kept the different machines running as well as some of the engineers who built and maintained them. During wartime, about 550 people worked in the Bletchley Park unit that ran Colossus. Also attending will be some of the children of the machine's creators and operators. Most of the machines were broken up and the plans destroyed after the war in an attempt to keep the work secret and to conceal the fact Britain was still using two of the machines to read Soviet messages. "The achievements of those who worked at Bletchley Park are humbling," said Tim Reynolds, chair of TNMOC. "This day is in honour of all the men and women who worked on breaking the Lorenz cipher."

First Lady Rosario Murillo already has a prominent role as the chief government spokeswoman and is widely seen as sharing power with her husband. She appears on Nicaraguan television almost every day. Critics accuse the first couple of running Nicaragua - which has elections in November - like a personal fiefdom. Power couples: Ten presidential spouses who ran for political office While President Ortega rarely speaks to the media, his wife is regularly seen on TV discussing policy and promoting her own brand of New Age spirituality. Mother of the president's seven children, she is fluent in English and French in addition to being a renowned poet. She also has a reputation for wearing colourfully extravagant outfits and jewellery more commonly seen in the hippy 1960s. Correspondents say many Nicaraguans see Ms Murillo as wielding the most power in her country because of her higher public profile. Husband and wife officially submitted their candidacy papers in the capital Managua, accompanied by the legal adviser of their Sandinista party. Hundreds of Sandinista supporters cheered the couple when they left the building. But opposition supporters are concerned her promotion may herald the rise of a new family dynasty in the impoverished Central American nation. Mr Ortega, 70, is a former left-wing guerrilla who formed part of the government junta following the Sandinista revolution against the dictatorship of the Somoza family, which ruled Nicaragua for four decades. The Cuban-inspired Sandinistas seized power in 1979. The party lost elections in the 1990s, but Mr Ortega returned to power in January 2007, after a successful election campaign.

Luke Miller, 26, of the Isle of Wight, died on the island of Koh Tao on Friday. Thai police said a post-mortem examination showed he drowned. But, his sister Maria said the family would not rely on what Thai authorities said as there was so much speculation as to what happened. Mr Miller, a bricklayer from Newport, travelled to Thailand with a friend on 22 December to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve there. He was found dead on 8 January in a hotel pool, on the same island where two British backpackers, Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were murdered. His family said they have been receiving "different versions" of what might have happened. According to police, Mr Miller's body was found on Friday morning at Sunset Bar on Sairee Beach. Witnesses and CCTV footage at the bar showed he was there until the early hours of the morning. But, the security guards who regularly search the pool for lost belongings after parties did not find Mr Miller when they made a search at 05:30 local time. His body was discovered at about 07:20. His sister Maria said: "There's different answers everywhere, there is nothing set in stone, no actual facts have been displayed... I do have concerns about how it has been dealt with. "I don't think anyone knows what really went on, but we will find answers and we will get answers." Police Lt. Col. Napa Senatip, a police investigator on Koh Tao who handled the case, told the BBC that police were not looking further into the case because "the investigation showed no clues signalling that this was a murder", and the autopsy showed that the cause of death was drowning. Mr Miller's mother Sara Cotton said the pain of losing her son was "just horrendous". "I just want him home to cuddle him and tell him I love him," she said. An online fundraising page to repatriate Mr Miller's body has reached its £10,000 target.

The 23-year-old's contract had been due to expire at the end of the season, and the Baggies offered him a new deal for a third time in December. He has not played since September and his relationship with the club had broken down since the 2014-15 campaign. "I've had a tough two years but everything happens for a reason. I'm mentally stronger now," Berahino said "Now I am finally here I just can't wait to start. For Stoke to show their faith in me is unbelievable," he added. "On match fitness I am not there yet, but I am going to work hard to get myself back so I can help my new team-mates climb the table." Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes said: "We've signed a young English striker who has already proven his ability in the Premier League. "After a frustrating period he's now desperately keen to reignite his career and we look forward to seeing him do that with us." Berahino reacted angrily to a bid from Tottenham being turned down on transfer deadline day in summer 2015 and two months later tweeted that he would never play for West Brom again under then-chairman Jeremy Peace. And in January 2015, he scored four goals but barely celebrated in what was interpreted as a sign of his growing disillusionment at the Hawthorns. Speaking after Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Spurs, West Brom boss - and former Stoke manager - Tony Pulis had said Berahino would not be sold "unless it is right for the club". He added: "It has to be a two-way situation. That has always been the situation; we will not sell the lad because it suits him." England Under-21 forward Berahino is the Potters' second signing of this transfer window after the loan deal for Derby keeper Lee Grant was made permanent.

The information was released in response to a freedom of information request by the Belfast Telegraph. OFGEM said the investigations focused on what appeared to be "ineligible installations". All three investigations are ongoing. The other two cases involved suspected frauds with values of £350,000 and £48,000 respectively. When they are finished a decision will be taken on whether to refer them to police. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has already said that it is in contact with OFGEM and the Department for the Economy over the referral of suspected fraud cases at the earliest opportunity. It has said so far neither has indicated they had identified a case which showed criminal conduct. The RHI scheme was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources. However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed. The fallout from the scandal surrounding the scheme, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the resignation of Sinn Fein's deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness, the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March. Retired appeal court judge Sir Patrick Coghlin will chair a public inquiry into the botched energy scheme.

The 25-year-old was carried off on a stretcher with a head knock just before the break at McDiarmid Park. Clark collided with Jack Rodwell as the midfielder had a goal disallowed. Steven MacLean fired Saints into the lead after 18 minutes and two more from David Wotherspoon within another six minutes put the Perth side in command.

"We need to know whether they will help us or not. We need an answer now." Her family has run this pharmacy in the port area of Piraeus, on the west coast of Athens, for 44 years. But she does not know whether she will be able to open tomorrow. It is one day after Greeks voted against the latest conditions offered by the country's creditors for a new bailout package. But now businesses such as this one are "desperate" for a solution to the crisis. Supplies here are running dangerously low. One customer comes in asking for seven boxes of a particular medicine, but Flora - who did not want to give her surname - has only been able to order in two boxes today in total. Government restrictions mean pharmacies can only get limited stocks, she says, and dire finances mean they struggle to buy even those. The government owes her company three and a half months in payments, so now the daily delivery is just one plastic shopping bag of pill boxes. Empty spaces gape in drawers and cabinets. Other pharmacies blame shortages in the supply chain as foreign suppliers become increasingly hesitant to sell to Greece due to the financial instability. Drug companies are reportedly owed more than €1.1bn ($1.2bn) by Greek hospitals and the state-run health insurer, after not being paid since December. But they have promised to keep supplying the country on humanitarian grounds, according to Reuters. Around the corner, another pharmacist Antonios Tsalpatouros says he is rationing medication so that there is enough to go around. "When the banks closed, we had to change the situation. We control the giving of medicines," he says. Capital controls mean queues for cash machines remain long and hot. Withdrawals are limited to 60 euros a day, but the machines only give out 50 euro notes. There are certainly no queues at a nearby petrol station. At the till, Tonia Tserkaki says business is down and those customers that do come are paying in cash. Unlike at the pharmacies, getting supplies has not been an issue. "As far as we know, there is enough," she says. "There is not a problem so far, but we do not know what will happen in the very near future." Meanwhile, some reports in recent days have warned of supermarket shelves left bare as Greeks stockpile food. This seems ridiculous as you walk the streets of Piraeus lined with bulging bakeries and coffee shops. A supermarket manager, who does not want to be named, tells me there was an increase in customers last week, but since Sunday's referendum it has been business as usual. And there have been no problems with keeping stocks high. The food is not running low - at least not here, and not now. But while Greeks may not be hunkering down quite yet, the streets are certainly quiet. Daily life has been getting worse in Greece over months and years of financial crisis. Now people are

Pat Finucane, a solicitor in Belfast who had represented clients including convicted members of the IRA, was murdered by loyalist gunmen at his home in 1989. The government-ordered review, by Sir Desmond de Silva, found that, while there were "shocking levels of state collusion" in facilitating the killing, there was no "overarching state conspiracy". Mr Finucane's family have long called for a full public inquiry into the murder but Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled that out. Here are some reactions to the review: "At every turn, dead witnesses have been blamed and defunct agencies found wanting. Serving personnel and active state departments appear to have been excused. "The dirt has been swept under the carpet without any serious attempt to lift the lid on what really happened to Pat and so many others. "This report is a sham, this report is a whitewash, this report is a confidence trick dressed up as independent scrutiny and given invisible clothes of reliability. "But most of all, most hurtful and insulting of all, this report is not the truth." "David Cameron today sought to use the review as a pretext for denying the family a public inquiry - a commitment that was made by the British government at Weston Park in 2001. "This is not acceptable to the family or to Sinn Fein and it should not be acceptable to the government here. "The information provided by Desmond de Silva is a damning indictment of British state collusion in the murder of citizens. "It reveals some of the extent to which this existed. It does not diminish the need for a public inquiry. "On the contrary, it makes such an inquiry more necessary than ever." "There is more than a shred of evidence that the Republic of Ireland's government armed the Provisional IRA and there should be an investigation into that and honesty about that, so as we see all of the picture. "My constituents are sick and tired of a one-sided narrative of revisionism that says the Provisional IRA were actually quite good and the troops and the police were actually quite bad." "I want to say clearly that I was very proud to stand with the Finucane family in those desperate times at Pat's funeral as they buried Pat. "The SDLP and I will stand with them today, and indeed into the future, because we support their demand for a full public inquiry. "We feel that we have still only got half the truth out here. There are people out there who should be held to account even though it is 23 years too late." "Given the number of security forces personnel involved, the 24/7 threat - not only to their lives but those of their families, neighbours and anyone who happened to be in their vicinity - and given the length of the terror campaign against them, it was inevitable that decisions were made which, on occasions, appear differently with the benefit of historical hindsight. "Indeed, the IRA and

Italy had 37 shots in a dominant performance but were frustrated until they scored three late goals. Manager Giampiero Ventura said: "The first half was useful because it taught us that if you try to do too much, you end up doing nothing. "Everything went well in the second half when our play was more lucid." Man of the match Lorenzo Insigne gave Italy the lead with a superb goal, flicking a cross up on to his chest before firing in off the post. Napoli forward Insigne played Andrea Belotti through to score the second, before substitute Eder volleyed in the third. Federico Bernardeschi, another substitute, added the fourth with a long-range shot and Gabbiadini turned in Leonardo Spinazzolo's pass for his first international goal since 2015. Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon did not have to make one save in his 169th appearance as he moved to fifth in the all-time list of international caps. Italy and Spain both have 16 points, but with only the group winners guaranteed a place at next year's finals in Russia, one of the European giants are set to be in the play-offs.

Some 25,000 native and heritage bulbs are being planted at English Heritage gardens, including Queen Victoria's former home Osborne House. The flowers are under threat from hybrids and non-native species such as the Spanish bluebell. English Heritage wants people to join in by planting a native daffodil or bluebell bulb in their own gardens. These can be collected for free from various English Heritage sites. John Watkins, head of gardens and landscapes at English Heritage, said native daffodils and bluebells were a "vital part of our horticultural and cultural heritage". He said: "Our native species and historic cultivars are increasingly under threat from cross-pollination with non-native species and hybrids that flower at the same time. "The resulting offspring will be hybrids and likely to outperform and out-compete the native species. "Historic gardens and landscapes are often the last refuge for ancient cultivars and native species. "Our major spring bulb planting campaign - across some of the most important historic gardens in England - will help arrest that national decline and ensure that the daffodil celebrated by Wordsworth over 200 years ago can still be enjoyed by visitors today and in the future." Other sites taking part in the scheme include Belsay Hall in Northumberland, Eltham Palace and Kenwood, both in London, and Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden in Warwickshire.

His lawyers said he needed urgent care and mental assessments. Mr Aamer, 48, is reported to be planning to bring legal proceedings against the UK government over its alleged complicity in his mistreatment. Campaigners have called for an investigation into the alleged use of torture at the US military prison. Mr Aamer, a Saudi national, is expected to be reunited with his children later and will finally meet the son who was born on the day he arrived at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay. The father-of-four is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, his lawyer Ramzi Kassem told the BBC, and will not speak or be seen in public for some time. In letters sent to the BBC earlier this month, Mr Aamer said: "I need a full medical check-up, somewhere totally confidential where they will finally respect my privacy. "You must consider 239 to be like an alien from Mars - 239 is my prison number here and they always call me by it. "I am not sure I would know to respond to anything else - like my name, Shaker. "I have known nothing about the real world for more than 13 years." Mr Aamer was first held by US authorities in Afghanistan in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks but maintains he was in the country doing charity work. Since 2007 Mr Aamer, who claims he was tortured, has been cleared for release twice, by US presidents George W Bush and then Barack Obama. His legal representative Clive Stafford Smith said: "We had a promise from the prime minister that there would be a fully independent inquiry into all of this torture - unfortunately that's not happened yet. "What he [Mr Aamer] does want is that the whole world should know what did happen so we can set in place rules so that British agents and, let's hope, American agents don't get involved in the torture business in the future," he told BBC News. The president of the charity Hostage UK, Terry Waite, who was himself held hostage for nearly five years in Lebanon, said it would take Mr Aamer time to readjust. "He'd be very wise to take one step at a time, to take things gently," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "When you come out of captivity, you can say things that you'd regret at a later stage. The best thing is for him to withdraw for a while to get the treatment that's necessary." Mr Aamer is believed to be in line to receive compensation after deals were made with previous detainees. The prime minister's spokeswoman said: "There was a settlement in relation to detainees in November 2010 which was subject to a legally binding confidentiality agreement." David Cameron has already asked the government's Intelligence and Security Committee to investigate claims of UK complicity in rendition and torture at Guantanamo Bay. Its new chair, Dominic Grieve QC has said he wants to hold a substantial inquiry, describing it as his longer-term priority.

Andrea Aburas told a press conference her "beautiful" daughter, Nadine, would never hurt anyone. Her body was discovered at the Future Inn in Cardiff Bay on 30 December. She had been there with Sammy Almahri, 44, from New York, and South Wales Police launched an international manhunt to find him. Ms Aburas said on Monday: "Nadine was my baby, she was such a beautiful and kind hearted girl. She would never hurt anyone, she just wanted to help people. "She was a born healer for people... always putting others first. The loss of Nadine has torn my heart in two. "Her family and friends are absolutely heartbroken by what has happened to her." Ms Aburas made a direct appeal to Mr Almahri: "I am asking you, as Nadine's mother, please hand yourself into the authorities and please help us find the answers that we need so we can let Nadine rest in peace. "You told us that you loved Nadine, if that is true, please let the police help you. "I want the world to know that my Nadine was beautiful inside and out. She will remain our beautiful Nadine forever." Det Supt Paul Hurley also appealed for Mr Almahri to contact police. "Sammy, please surrender yourself to the authorities." South Wales Police is working with counterparts in New York and Tanzania to trace Mr Almahri and Interpol has issued a wanted notice. Detectives said the pair had known each other for three years and had met up previously in New York city. On 30 December they checked into the Future Inn within 30 minutes of each other and left shortly before 22:00 GMT but returned at 23:00. Five hours later, Mr Almahri left the hotel and is believed to have booked and boarded a flight at 10:00 GMT from Heathrow to Doha, Qatar, before flying on to Tanzania. Ms Aburas, who briefly studied at Cardiff University but left after a few weeks, was found in a hotel room at midday on New Year's Eve.

Centre Jared Payne, who - like O'Brien - was doubtful because of a "lower-limb tweak", has been passed fit to start. Both players missed training on Friday. Munster skipper Peter O'Mahony comes on to the replacements' bench. Rory Scannell, another Munster player, had been put on stand-by for the Dublin game. should Payne have been ruled out. The Irish are without Robbie Henshaw, one of their regular centres. This has led Joe Schmidt to draft in two-cap Garry Ringrose and Payne's absence would leave the Irish with a very inexperienced partnership. O'Brien looked back to his rampaging best in last weekend's bruising defeat by New Zealand and his absence is big blow to the Irish, despite the recent good form also shown by van der Flier. On Thursday, CJ Stander and Rob Kearney were passed fit to start for but wing Simon Zebo has been replaced by his Munster colleague Keith Earls. Ulster's Paddy Jackson and Leinster's Ringrose take over from injured Johnny Sexton and Henshaw while the other change sees Ulster lock Iain Henderson in for Donnacha Ryan. Fly-half Sexton has a hamstring strain, while centre Henshaw has been ruled out through concussion. Henshaw's absence means that Ringrose, 21, will start at inside centre after coming on for his Leinster team-mate early in last weekend's game. Ulster duo Luke Marshall and Stuart Olding were other centre options for Joe Schmidt but the coach has opted for Ringrose, who made his international debut at outside centre in the 52-21 win over Canada two weeks ago. With fit-again Ulster lock Henderson partnering Devin Toner in the second row, Munster's Ryan drops out of the match-day squad with Ultan Dillane named on the bench after missing the New Zealand game because of a knee strain. Ireland skipper Rory Best will earn his 100th cap in Saturday's game and will once again be partnered by Leinster pair Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong in the front row. Australian coach Michael Cheika has made nine changes from last weekend's narrow win over France as he recalls skipper Stephen Moore and other big-name players Israel Folau, Sekope Kepu, Rory Arnold, Michael Hooper, and Dane Haylett-Petty. All five were rested from the Paris game as an experimental Wallabies side earned a 25-23 victory. Australia have only two changes from the 23-22 win over Scotland two weeks ago as Dean Mumm's lineout prowess sees him preferred to Lopeti Timani in the back row and Rob Simmons replaces injured Adam Coleman. Squad captain Moore is named in an entirely changed front row from the Stade de France game as Scott Sio and Kepu also return. Mumm is joined in the back row by Hooper with Arnold taking over from former Leinster player Kane Douglas at lock. TEAMS Ireland: Kearney; Trimble, Payne or Scannell, Ringrose, Earls; Jackson, Murray; McGrath, Best, Furlong; Henderson, Toner; Stander, O'Brien or O'Mahony, Heaslip. Replacements: Cronin, Healy, Bealham, Dillane, Van der Flier, Marmion, Carbery, Zebo. Australia: Folau, Haylett-Petty, Kuridrani, Hodge, Speight, Foley, Genia; Sio, Moore (capt),

It shows the object to have two lobes, which may be the consequence of icy bodies bumping into each other and joining up. Kerberos's larger lobe is judged to be about 8km across. The smaller lobe is roughly 5km in diameter. Styx, the other little moon in the system, is of a comparable size. Mission scientists say these satellites are brighter than they expected. Planetary bodies usually darken over time as a result of chemical changes triggered by sunlight and cosmic ray impacts. But these moons reflect about 50% of all incident light, which indicates their water-ice covering is very clean. Kerberos orbits about 60,000km from Pluto and is the second-outermost of five moons. It sits between Nix and Hydra, and beyond the orbits of Styx and the much larger Charon, the dominant moon in the system. The newly released image of Kerberos was acquired by New Horizons' Lorri camera from a distance of just under 400,000km. The picture incorporates a number of views and has been processed to recover as much detail as possible. New Horizons continues to downlink its data gathered during the flyby of the dwarf world back on 14 July. The probe is currently moving deeper into space and is now more than 5 billion km beyond Earth. This week sees the start of manoeuvres to change the trajectory of the spacecraft. The intention is to send it towards another Kuiper Belt Object called 2014 MU69. This encounter would occur in 2019, although Nasa has yet to formally agree to fund the operation of New Horizons that far ahead. Scientists will first have to write a proposal for a mission extension. It is likely they will submit this next year. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

The group of 70 officials and their wives visited the facility in the city of Shiyan in Hubei province on 15 May. China launched a crackdown on corruption shortly after President Xi Jinping took power in 2012. Since then thousands of officials have been investigated, with many jailed for bribery and abuse of power. The jail visit was first announced by the country's anti-corruption agency, the Central Commission of Discipline and Inspection, in the Saturday edition of its newsletter. The move was meant as "an educational warning... allowing them to experience life behind high walls and steel windows", it said. Photographs show the officials and their partners visiting the prison grounds, where they got a chance to speak to former bureaucrats - some of them former colleagues - who had been convicted of charges such as abuse of power. They also toured an exhibition featuring photos and written accounts from jailed officials. The CCDI report said the group let out "sighs" as they recognised several of their "old mentors, colleagues and friends" in the exhibition. They were also sent to an auditorium where they listened to testimonials delivered by prisoners convicted of corruption. China has been waging an intense campaign against corruption. Authorities have urged officials to live a more frugal lifestyle and eschew expensive gifts and lavish banquets. Local media have made much of the arrests and investigations into thousands of officials from low-ranking public servants to senior figures, most notably former security chief Zhou Yongkang. But critics say that deeper structural reform of the political system is needed to eradicate corruption.

Perhaps it was the iterative nature of Kezia Dugdale's questions, repeated not once, not twice, not thrice but….what comes next? Quice? Whatever the provocation, Nicola Sturgeon seemed just a mite exasperated during questions at Holyrood today. She questioned the auditory capacity of a fellow MSP - not once, but…..oh, don't start that again, skip the loop. Then there was her response to the token opening question posed by Ruth Davidson. You know the sort of thing. "When will you next meet the Tsar of all the Russias?" Thus allowing a supplementary: "When you encounter the Tsar, will you explain why hospital waiting times in Auchtermuchty have shown such pitiful variation?" Ms Davidson followed her usual format. When would the FM next meet the Secretary of State for Scotland? Ms Sturgeon positively barked: "Tonight!" Not looking forward to the evening, eh, Nicola? Not, I would guess, a trip to the theatre to see Mary Poppins. Nor, from the sound of it, a chatty evening at home with a tube of Smarties and the latest box set of Borgen. Ruth Davidson looked temporarily taken aback. Still, she rallied to ask the FM about tax. The sign at Scotland's border, she said, should not read "Higher Taxes Now". What did she want instead? "There be dragons?" "United for the Cup?" No, it seems she wanted something along the lines of: "Scotland will continue to offer broad equivalence to the fiscal structure as set out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon George 'Gideon' Oliver Osborne MP." Ms Davidson generally renders that as "you won't pay more in Scotland than in England." Ms Sturgeon chose to depict it as pusillanimity over the new tax powers. Earlier, though, she had faced broadly the same charge herself, from Labour's Kezia Dugdale. Ms Dugdale noted that up with the Chancellor's tax plans, Labour would not put. Would the FM say the same? Then she added the challenge: "Yes or No". There is nothing more calculated to rile a nuanced politician. Actually, catching your hand in the car door comes close. As does learning that the chippie has run out of white pudding. But still the "Yes or No" dichotomy tends to irk. It irked sufficiently on this occasion that the FM bluntly advised her interrogator to "dispense with the mock indignation." Simply then drily then irritably then angrily, Ms Sturgeon said again….and again…and (see above) that she would set out the detail of her tax plans early next week. But she said, again repeatedly, that she wasn't a fan of the Chancellor's scheme. And thus wouldn't do it. So what might we expect from the Scottish government - or, being pedantic, the SNP, given that we are notably close to an election? Not an increase in the standard rate. Ms Sturgeon has decried that as penalising the poor, even with Labour's proposed rebate (which the FM says is useless……no, it isn't…..yes it is…no it…). So that's a non-starter. She told me last week in a

More children in the seafood industry worked with fire, gas or flames compared to other industries, it said. The report by the ILO and the Asia Foundation said 19.4% of children in those industries reported workplace injuries compared to 8.4% in others. Rights group have accused the Thai seafood industry of using slave labour. Human Rights Watch said in a report that fishermen from Cambodia and Myanmar (also known as Burma) are trafficked and forced to work on the boats. Their children make up most of the child population working in the industry. Thailand is the world's third-largest seafood exporter globally. "Child labour is truly unacceptable in the 21st Century," said Maurizio Bussi, officer-in-charge of the International Labour Organization's offices in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. "Unfortunately, it remains a symptom of existing labour market governance challenges, coupled with a lack of genuine alternatives for vulnerable workers and their families to freely avail of." The report includes a number of recommendations including asking the Thai government "to provide equal treatment with regard to labour protection... regardless of nationality and legal status". It also asks international buyers to "engage more directly with their suppliers" so that they may help implement international standards, including for labour.

A letter signed by the prime minister on the green baize table of the cabinet room yesterday afternoon makes real the consequences of Britain's vote to leave the European Union nine months ago. Once the document arrives in Brussels at lunchtime, passed formally into the hands of the European Council, the triggering of Article 50 begins the process of Britain leaving the European Union - a partnership of nations in which the UK has played its own role for more than four decades - for good, or ill. The prime minister will promise later to represent every person in the country during what are likely to be fraught negotiations, including those EU nationals who have made their homes here, whose future is still uncertain. Theresa May will also urge the country to come together, hoping this moment could spell the end of a fractious debate between Leave and Remain. The government's main priorities are clear - withdrawing from European law, controlling immigration and striking a free trade deal from outside the European single market. Yet there are tensions in Parliament, in the prime minister's own party, between Holyrood and Westminster, and of course, among the public over what Britain's future could, or should look like outside the European Union. She, and we, have two years to work it out. Theresa May of course was a Remainer to start with, if not the most full-throated advocate for the EU during the referendum campaign. But after the bloody Tory infighting in the campaign's immediate aftermath, she is sometimes described as being the "last grown-up left standing". There are doubts in Westminster about the government's capacity to deal with the complexities of what lies ahead, doubts about the Tory Party's capability of sticking together when it gets tough, doubts about the opposition's ability to carry out the kind of intense scrutiny required while this vital set of decisions are debated and discussed over the next two years or so. Above all perhaps, doubts about whether what Theresa May is asking for is even vaguely realistic. What she does or does not achieve in these negotiations will determine her, and the country's, future.

Dame Judith Hackitt was a former director of the Energy Saving Trust, which promotes insulation containing a foam known as polyisocyanurate, blamed for fuelling the fire. The government said she was "an independent and authoritative voice". At least 80 people died in the fire. The review is separate to the inquiry led by Sir Martin Moore-Bick so will not look directly into what happened at Grenfell Tower in west London. It will, however, cover regulations around design, construction and on-going management of buildings in relation to fire safety. Polyisocyanurate (PIR) was one of the "approved products" listed by the Energy Saving Trust while Dame Judith was a director. The list on the trust's website still includes insulation made with PIR. In an interview with the Times, she said she had no role in approving products. Dr Roth Phylaktou, a senior lecturer specialising in fire and explosion engineering, has previously said that the material, combined with the configuration of cladding on the high-rise building, was "optimum for vertical fire spread". Communities Secretary Sajid Javid appointed Dame Judith to lead the probe last month. Downing Street confirmed she had stood down from her role as soon as she was made chairwoman. She told the Times she had intended to resign in 2017 but brought the date forward when she was made chairwoman. On her appointment, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published information about Dame Judith's background including her role in EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, but left out her involvement with the Energy Saving Trust. Speaking to the Times, Sue Caro from the Justice for Grenfell campaign said the Energy Saving Trust had "endorsed... the very substance believed to be responsible for the rapid and deadly spread of the fire at Grenfell" during Dame Judith's time as director. "A more unsuitable candidate for this vitally important review would be hard to find," she added. A spokeswoman for the DCLG said: "Dame Judith Hackitt is an independent and authoritative voice in the engineering sector. "It was determined that there is no conflict of interest and that her previous role at the Energy Saving Trust did not prevent Dame Judith from being appointed chair of the review." When asked about Dame Judith's biography, the DCLG said it was "not intended to provide a comprehensive list of all the roles she has undertaken". The scope of the review will be published this summer. An interim report is expected by the end of the year, with a full report due next spring. The review will report to the communities secretary and the home secretary. It will examine compliance and enforcement issues around building regulations and include international regulation and experience in this area.

Those sorts of events are among my favourite ways to spend time and they are a complete break from Formula 1, so a great way to refresh myself mentally before the next race. I flew into Paris on Monday but got caught up in the French air strike and they wouldn't let us land for a while, and then there was really bad traffic so I got to the Stella McCartney show just as it was finishing, unfortunately. There was some nonsense I saw reported somewhere about me and my friend Janelle Monae, the singer, being refused entry. But that wasn't the case at all - we were just at the wrong door, so we had to go around the back, where we saw Stella. She's a big racing fan, and I'm a big admirer of her work, so I spent some time with her - and also with her husband Alasdhair Willis, whose clothes I buy a lot of. It was good to see them again. I spent the next few days taking in a few of the top shows such as Valentino and the Chanel show, which was just unbelievable - I got to meet Karl Lagerfeld, who is 'The Man' when it comes to fashion. He was a really nice guy. Fashion weeks generally are just a really super-fun time. You get to meet the designers and get a real insight into how they came up with the clothes. And everyone is there and you bump into a lot of people in the business - I got to see Kanye (West) for example; I met Mario Testino, the great photographer, for the first time; and I got to hang with Miguel after his performance at the US Ambassador's Residence. It's basically the best social week ever. There is a lot of relationship-building and a lot of positive things come from those weeks. This week, I have a front cover of an incredible fashion magazine coming out, for example, which is a great way of extending my story to people who perhaps don't know so much about me. As always, F1 is paramount and, now Paris is over, I'm fully focused on Sochi and hopefully having another successful weekend. In fact, it could be a particularly important race for my Mercedes team because we could clinch our second consecutive constructors' championship if things go well. We need to score three more points than Ferrari in Russia and we've done it, and it would be no less than the team deserve because they have been absolutely fantastic this year. If it happens, it will be at the same point in the season as last year. It says a lot about the team that they are in this position despite our main rival being closer this year than last season. We have definitely felt the heat from Ferrari at times but in terms of results Mercedes have been even more dominant. The car has taken a step up and reliability

The ministry says most of the dead were Kurdish militants but the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) says 20 civilians were killed in the violence. Locals say Cizre has been "under siege" since the military imposed a curfew. On Thursday police stopped a delegation of HDP leaders who were trying to reach the south-eastern city on foot. The group includes the party's leader Selahattin Demirtas and 30 members of parliament, who say they want to draw attention to what is happening in the mainly Kurdish area. They were intercepted by police near Idil, 28km (17 miles) from Cizre. Deadly clashes between Turkish forces and the militant Kurdish organisation, the PKK, have intensified since a ceasefire collapsed in July. Turkish jets have bombed PKK bases in northern Iraq and the army has boosted security and imposed curfews across the south-east. Mr Demirtas said the humanitarian situation in Cizre was worsening, with people unable to buy bread or access water. The body of a 10-year-old boy killed in the violence was being kept in a refrigerator by family members because restrictions on movement meant they could not take him to the mortuary, the BBC was told. Meryem Sune, a 53-year-old mother of seven, could not be buried for two days and her body was first kept cold by ice bottles, local reports said. Ms Sune was hit by shrapnel and died of her injuries because she was not allowed into hospital for treatment. Asiye, an eyewitness from Cizre's Nur neighbourhood, told the BBC that Turkish security forces had not just besieged the town but also were operating inside, blocking access between different neighbourhoods. He also talked about seeing a crowd carrying a 14-year-old injured boy to a place where people hoped he would be picked up by an ambulance. Turkish Interior Minister Selami Altinok said the curfew would continue until the military operation was completed. The ministry also said the HDP delegation had not been allowed into Cizre because of security concerns. But Saruhan Oluc, one of HDP lawmakers trying to get to the town, said such statements were groundless. "We don't believe we face any threats from the people of the town. The only threat we face is from the soldiers who block our way and don't let us in," he told the BBC. Mr Demirtas warned the country was heading towards civil war. Turkish prosecutors are currently investigating the HDP leader for insulting the president. They want to have the MP stripped of his parliamentary immunity. Separately, the interim government has deported a Dutch journalist. Freelancer Frederike Geerdink, who was arrested on Sunday, was accused of links to the PKK. Earlier in the month, two British journalists with Vice News were deported. Their Iraqi colleague remains in detention. More than 40,000 people have died since the PKK launched an armed campaign in 1984, calling for an independent Kurdish state within Turkey. The ceasefire that began in 2013 unravelled in July, after a suicide bombing by suspected Islamic State militants near

What is shingles? Shingles is caused by the same virus as chickenpox, herpes varicella zoster. The virus can remain inactive in the nervous system for decades, with the body's immune system keeping it in check, but later in life it can flare up again and emerge this time as shingles. The disease affects the nerves and the skin, causing a painful rash. Can I catch it from other people? No. It is not possible to catch shingles itself from someone with the condition. If you have not had chickenpox before, however, you can catch that from someone with shingles. Infection is usually passed on by direct contact with fluid from the lesions. It is not spread by respiratory droplets. People with a shingles rash on the body should be advised to keep the affected area covered and to avoid sharing towels, going swimming or playing contact sports. Adults can return to work as soon as they feel well enough, provided that the rash can be covered or the blisters have dried up. How dangerous is it? Most of the time, shingles will get better on its own. The painful rash usually lasts around a week and takes two to four weeks to fully heal. In severe cases, however, it can cause serious complications, including hearing loss or brain swelling. Some people may also experience long-term nerve damage, which can cause pain and weakness or paralysis. Can drugs treat it? Shingles is caused by a virus so antibiotics will not work. Doctors may prescribe an antiviral drug such as acyclovir to lessen the symptoms. Painkillers are also helpful. Why vaccinate at the age of 70? The risk of shingles increases with age, and is most common in people over 50. Indeed, half of people who reach 85 will get it. It is unclear what triggers a reactivation of infection, but people with low immunity - those who are poorly nourished, have another illness or are taking certain medications - are at increased risk. It is estimated that 3 in every 1,000 people get shingles in the UK every year. Shingles is also more likely to cause complications in older people, which is why experts say people in their 70s should be targeted by an immunisation programme regardless of whether they have had shingles or chickenpox before. Is the vaccine new? No. The vaccine has been around for some time but has not been widely offered to people in the UK. Some people have paid to have the jab on a private prescription at a cost of around £150. It is not clear how much the NHS will have to pay per jab but it is likely to be less than this under contracts with pharmaceutical manufacturers. Is it safe? The independent advisory expert group, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), has reviewed the efficacy and safety data on the shingles vaccine and has recommended that a national immunisation programme be started. The vaccine contains a live weakened version of

The theft of the large stone ornament from the Kingston Park area left the 82-year-old owner devastated, as it was a present from her late husband and was her "pride and joy". Following an appeal by police, a few days later a note written on a piece of cardboard was left on the doorstep. It read: "I am so very sorry... when I can afford to, I will replace it." A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "It is clear that the offender feels guilty about his actions and I would urge him to come forward and contact police so we can reunite the bird bath with its owner. "Similarly, if you have recently received a birthday present that matches the description of the bird bath taken from this vulnerable victim's garden then please get in touch." The letter read: "I am so very sorry. I wouldn't in a million years have done this but I had to. "It is my mother's birthday and I am in a very bad place. I can't afford a birthday present and she doesn't know how bad it is. "With deep regrets, sorry. This is all I can think of I am so very sorry. When I can afford it I will replace it." The woman wrote a letter in response, which read: "I loved watching the antics of the birds in my bird bath and the birds are missing it too. "Yesterday a pair of collared doves who are daily visitors just sat on the fence facing the empty spot for over an hour. "It was bought 25 years ago by my husband who is now deceased. "We were married for 53 years. A new bird bath won't ever replace it." She told BBC Newcastle: "Poor soul... what sort of state is he in if he is being driven to steal?". The bird bath is described as three foot tall, stone in a Pompeii ash colour, with a wide basin at the top and an acanthus leaf pattern up the stem.

Players from both countries wore black armbands bearing a poppy during England's 3-0 win at Wembley, with the game taking place last Friday. Rules forbid "political" statements on shirts. Fifa, world football's governing body, would not "speculate on any outcome or provide an estimated timeline". The idea of players wearing a poppy was raised before the two nations met on 11 November, the day when the United Kingdom traditionally remembers those who have died in conflict. According to the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), which includes members of the four British football associations, players cannot wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images". The compromise of wearing a printed poppy on an armband was brokered for England's 1-0 friendly win over Spain at Wembley on 12 November, 2011. In the same year, Scotland players wore poppies on armbands and on their tracksuits in a match against Cyprus. However, world football's governing body would not specify before Friday's fixture whether England or Scotland would face punishment for doing so this time around. Media playback is not supported on this device MP Damian Collins - chair of the Culture, Media and Sport select committee - wrote to Fifa president Gianni Infantino asking the world governing body to reconsider its decision. English Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said players from both sides would wear black armbands carrying the poppy "as a point of principle". He also said the FA would contest any charge or punishment, claiming its legal case was "rock solid". Meanwhile, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association Stewart Regan said before the match it was prepared to challenge any Fifa sanction imposed. Fifa says it reminded the four football associations of the rules - though the Football Association of Wales (FAW) said Fifa "turned down a request for the Wales national team to wear poppies on their shirts or on armbands". The FAW said it could not risk a financial penalty or point deduction. Fifa said it did not ban the display of poppies and that any such claim was "a distortion of the facts". Football's rules are laid out by IFAB and any breach is dealt with by Fifa's disciplinary committee - which Fifa says is an independent body. Fifa added it could not pre-judge what symbols would constitute a breach of rules. However, its secretary general, Fatma Samoura, told BBC Sport last week: "We have to apply uniformly and across the 211 member associations the laws of the game. "Britain is not the only country that has been suffering from the result of war." Fifa recently opened disciplinary proceedings over the Republic of Ireland's use of a logo to commemorate the centenary of the Easter Rising. A points deduction is the most serious sanction available but a fine is considered to be more likely. The British FAs would then have an opportunity to challenge that fine via Fifa's appeals process and a further chance to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport - a

The 50-year-old was named as assistant to head coach Matt Walker in January. Work permit issues delayed his arrival, prompting the club to recruit Jason Gillespie as a temporary replacement. Donald must obtain a Level 3 coaching qualification before his permit is granted, but he can work with Sri Lanka at the forthcoming Champions Trophy tournament in England. He is free to take that role because visa requirements only apply to employers in the UK. "I'm 100% committed to Kent despite the frustration of not being able to join Matt Walker and the boys as planned," said Donald, who took 602 international wickets during his career. Walker told the club website that the situation was "frustrating" and Gillespie could only stay with them until midway through the season. "We will announce a second interim coach to cover for Allan in due course," he added.

Wang, 21, took a three-stroke lead into the final day, when he was joined at 16 under par by Sweden's Joakim Lagergren and South Africa's Jaco van Zyl. The Korean then fired the only birdie on the par-five first extra hole. England's Jordan Smith shot a final-day six under to finish sixth, two strokes behind the leading trio in Doha. Wang, who won back-to-back events in Morocco and Mauritius last May, almost clinched it on the 72nd hole, but left a birdie putt inches short to force the play-off. But he held his nerve after that, after Van Zyl three-putted for par and Lagergren was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. He becomes the third youngest player to win three European tour titles after Italy's Matteo Manassero (19) and Spain's Seve Ballesteros (20). Wales' Bradley Dredge, who led after the first day and had a share of the halfway lead, finished well down the field, tied for 21st place on nine under.

The Remain campaign was boosted in Oxford after a 40% majority vote at 02:20 BST. With a 70% turn out, 70% of people voted to stay in the EU. In West Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire, the Remain campaign won by a majority of 7%, 13% and 10% respectively. However, Cherwell voted to leave. But while David Cameron's constituency of Witney voted to remain, he has announced he will step down as prime minister by October after the UK voted overall to leave the European Union. For the latest reaction from Oxfordshire See the local results here Follow the latest news on the BBC's live EU referendum coverage Bethan Phillips, BBC political correspondent The news David Cameron is stepping down has sent a shockwave through his Witney constituency. He has a lot of loyal supporters here. He isn't a distant figure in Westminster - he is someone that campaigns here, gets involved in local issues, and during election time, goes door-to-door to gain support. I was with one local Conservative activist as the news broke - he was visibly shaking with shock. The big question now for Witney - will David Cameron stay on as MP, after he steps down as prime minister? Labour MP for Oxford East Andrew Smith said there had been a "huge" victory for Remain in the city. "I think it reflects the nature of our city with the fact we are open, cosmopolitan, we've got a lot of links with Europe and the fact that the university research institutes benefit from EU investment, as indeed does the wider community through our links with BMW," he added. John Cotton, Conservative leader of South Oxfordshire District Council, who campaigned to leave the EU, has admitted to going "from elation to despair in the space of an hour" following David Cameron's decision to step down as prime minister. "I can understand completely from his perspective why he would want to go," he said. "It's a very honourable thing to do, but from the country's point of view we needed him at the helm." Conservative MP for Didcot and Wantage Ed Vaizey also said he was "sad" to see Mr Cameron go. He added: "Utterly decent to the end. Loves his country and will continue to work for our future." Tempers frayed at the Oxford count after city councillor Mike Rowley was ejected from the town hall when he clashed with security staff who refused him entry. He attempted to enter the venue at about 00:30 BST. After he was halted by door staff, police attended the town hall and restrained the Labour councillor before he was taken home.

The 31-year-old led Jersey to promotion into World Cricket League Division Four this year, but the side were relegated after finishing fifth in the tournament in Los Angeles this month. The Jersey Cricket Board is hopeful he will continue to play for the side. "He's announced to the team that he's done his piece and he's looking to step down," JCB chairman Ward Jenner said. "He's earned legendary status," Jenner added to BBC Sport. "The young team that he's looked after have looked up to him. He's been superb with them and played a very clever game in that he's been able to keep the senior members of the side onside as well." Gough led the side to promotion twice from World Cricket League Five and once from Division Six, as well as guiding the team into the global qualifying tournament for last year's World Twenty20. "He's taken the job incredibly seriously, he thinks about it 24 hours a day and I get messages from him at four in the morning when he has ideas," added Jenner. "He'll be a huge miss as captain, but we are hoping to maybe try and use him for another five or six years, as he's a very fit batsman and it would be great having him back in the ranks."

It follows calls from Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens in response to the sexual assaults near the city centre. The city's taxi association has rejected claims some drivers have previously refused short-distance fares. A 40-year-old man remains in police custody and a man, 22, has been bailed. In a joint statement, South Wales Police, Cardiff University, University of South Wales and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama said additional safety measures had been put in place following the attacks. They said two additional buses staffed by police officers and police student volunteers had been provided as well as three buses which will will run into the night to provide students with safe transport back to their accommodation. South Wales Police said it was continuing its high visibility patrols throughout the city centre and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, Cardiff University and the college's students' union have been actively promoting their 'Safe Taxi Scheme' following the first of the three attacks carried out in the early hours of Sunday morning against a 20-year-old, close to the university's main building in the civic centre. Another 20-year-old was attacked in Cathays Terrace on Tuesday and at about 04:30 BST on Thursday, a 19-year-old was targeted in Gorsedd Gardens. "Our security team has been visiting student residences to discuss personal safety, while the Students' Union safe taxi scheme is now being extended to staff as well as students," explained the university's pro vice-chancellor, Prof Patricia Price. "The scheme allows you to be safely picked up by Dragon Taxis anywhere in Cardiff and taken home even if you don't have cash at the time, provided you have your student or staff card." Students who use the scheme can then reimburse the taxi fare through the students' union over the following days. But Cardiff Central MP, Ms Stevens said she had written to local taxi firms after concerns were raised. "A number of constituents have advised me that this is an issue for women travelling home from the city centre," she said. Mathab Khan, the chair of the Cardiff Hackney Cabs Association, rejected the claim. "That's not true at all," he insisted. "Our advice to our drivers is to be as helpful as you possibly can, especially when it comes to lone female students, we say 'Please take them, they are vulnerable'." Mr Khan said the only time a cab driver would refuse a fare was if the passenger was unfit to travel, due to excessive drink. "99.9% of the taxi drivers in Cardiff are very helpful," he said. A march is being held on Friday evening by Reclaim the Night, a group which campaigns against rape and all forms of male violence against women. Students in Cardiff have been urged to stay in pairs on nights out, stay in well-lit areas, ensure someone knows where they are going, and to "be sensible". Cardiff city council, which is responsible for licensing taxi drivers, said it was ready to act if fares are turned down. A spokesperson

In a BBC interview, Lord Kerr of Kinlochard said the UK could choose to stay in the EU even after exit negotiations had begun. He has also renewed calls for either parliament or the public to be given a chance to stop Brexit. The UK government insisted the leave vote must be respected. His comments come as the High Court is to rule on whether the government can begin the formal process of leaving the European Union without consulting Parliament. Prime Minister Theresa May said she would trigger the two year exit negotiation process by the end of March 2017. This procedure, which is described in Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, should ensure the UK leaves the EU in 2019. But Lord Kerr, who devised the clause, said the country "might want to think again" when Brexit terms become clearer. He explained: "It is not irrevocable. "You can change your mind while the process is going on. "During that period, if a country were to decide actually we don't want to leave after all, everybody would be very cross about it being a waste of time. "They might try to extract a political price but legally they couldn't insist that you leave." Lord Kerr wants either parliament or the public - through an election or a second referendum - to revisit the decision to leave the EU in a year to 18 months time. Mrs May has repeatedly ruled out reversing the result of the EU referendum vote which took place on 23 June and resulted in 52% of UK voters backing the campaign to leave. Lord Kerr is advising First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon on Brexit as she seeks to maintain Scotland's links with the EU. He does not think it would be possible for Scotland to remain in the EU single market if the UK as a whole is leaving. However, he said different arrangements for access to the single market for different parts of the UK could be possible. Lord Kerr said: "It is possible to envisage the Scots being in an ante room to the council [of EU ministers] in Brussels, rather closer to the action than the English might be on particular subjects." The former diplomat also said that he does not believe a vote for independence would secure Scotland unbroken membership of the EU. "I think that when independent the Scots could apply and probably get in pretty quickly through the door marked accession. But they can't stay inside," he said. When Lord Kerr argued a similar case during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign, the Scottish government insisted that the EU would find a way of accommodating Scotland. Although the UK as a whole chose to leave the EU in the referendum ballot, voters in Scotland decided by 62% to 38% to stay. Lord Kerr is a former head of the British diplomatic service and served as both UK ambassador to the EU and the United States. After leaving the foreign

The recalls had initially been issued in North America, but have now been extended to the rest of the world. The carmakers said they were calling back a total of 3.2 million cars globally, affecting nearly 30 models. Last week, Toyota recalled 1.37 million vehicles in the US after Takata agreed to an order by US regulators to declare more defective airbags. The airbags have been linked to eight deaths, all in Honda vehicles. The carmaker has been the hardest hit by the recalls, calling back more than 19 million cars around the world. The defect in the airbags, believed to be linked to a chemical propellant that helps inflate it, can cause it to deploy with explosive force and send metal shrapnel flying. At a news conference on Thursday, following Takata's annual general meeting, the firm's chief executive, Shigehisa Takada, apologised to shareholders for the first time since the airbag issues started. "We are a company that should be providing safety. Our product quality should be assured," he said. "There are many things needing improvement. We must reconsider how to do that and also how to better manage our supply chain." Toyota, the world's biggest automaker, said it would recall another 2.86 million cars, including 24 models made between April 2003 and December 2008. Of the cars recalled, 1.729 million are in Europe, 360,000 are in Japan, and 190,000 in China. Nissan, meanwhile, said it was recalling another 198,000 cars, including the Navara, Caravan and Teana made between April 2007 and December 2008. Mitsubishi said it would recall 120,000 vehicles. The carmakers added that there had been no reports of accidents or injuries from the expanded recall. In May, Takata had agreed to double a US recall to a record 34 million vehicles made by about 11 carmakers over the airbags.

Wandsworth prisoner Neil Moore, 28, used an illicit mobile phone to create a fake email account to send bail instructions to the prison staff. He was released on 10 March 2014 and his deception was only uncovered when solicitors went to interview him three days later, only to find him gone. The prosecution described Moore's behaviour as "ingenious" criminality. Southwark Crown Court heard Moore set up a website using the address and telephone number of the Royal Courts of Justice. Posing as a court clerk manager from the incorrectly spelled "Southwalk Crown Court" he sent an email to prison staff claiming he had been granted bail and was released. After three days of freedom, he handed himself into police, the court heard. The judge, Recorder David Hunt QC, described the escape as "sophisticated and ingenious". He said: "The way you contrived your escape was potentially more of a threat to the integrity of the prison system, and therefore to the public, than the mere use of brute force." John Femi-Ole, defending, said Moore committed "sophisticated" frauds to fund a "hedonistic lifestyle" and orchestrated his escape after he and his transgender partner were sent to prison. Mr Femi-Ole said: "Their relationship became revealed, he tells me, by the guards. It was in these circumstances that he felt he could not tolerate the situation and escaped." The court was read a letter from Moore in which he said: "I wanted to feel loved and accepted. During the time of these offences I was extremely depressed and unhappy." Prosecutor Ian Paton said: "A lot of criminal ingenuity harbours in the mind of Mr Moore. The case is one of extraordinary criminal inventiveness, deviousness and creativity, all apparently the developed expertise of this defendant." Moore, from Ilford, admitted eight counts of fraud in which he posed as staff from banks to dupe major organisations into handing over significant sums of money in frauds worth £1.8m. Moore also admitted one count of escape from lawful custody.

It meshes satellite and other data to monitor the activities of vessels, automatically triggering alarms when suspicious activity is observed. The project is a joint venture between the Pew Charitable Trusts and the UK Satellite Applications Catapult. It is thought as many as one in five fish are landed outside of national or international regulations. The value of this trade could exceed more than $20bn (£13bn; 17bn euros) a year, according to some estimates. Much of this theft is perpetrated by industrial-scale pirate operations that think the vast expanse of the oceans can hide their behaviour. The new system, known as Project Eyes on the Seas, will be operated initially from a "watchroom" at the Catapult's Harwell, Oxfordshire, HQ. The smart monitoring system does not merely track vessels at sea; it analyses their movements. And by looking at additional inputs like sea conditions and probable fish locations, it can make predictions about what vessels are doing. Algorithms built into Project Eyes will provide alerts to the watchroom. "It can use the tracks that are being transmitted to recognise activity that is related to fishing," explained Pew's Tony Long. "So, for example, we have a proximity alert that tells us when vessels are coming together to perhaps exchange catch; we have a slow-speed alert that indicates when any vessel has come down below five knots, which might indicate it's put fishing gear in the water; and it will also alert us when vessels cross boundaries, like going into a no-take area. "We've built these algorithms using historical data, and we're now transferring them to the live system." This is not the first system of its kind, but Pew says the speed of the intelligent analysis to which the multi-layered data is subjected takes the approach to a new level. Fundamental to the system's operation are the safety and management transponders that are routinely fitted to many vessels detailing their whereabouts to overflying satellites. Of course, these transponders may not be present on some of the smallest boats, or may even be disabled or "spoofed" even where there are fitted. But Project Eyes is pulling in satellite radar data as well - from which the larger boats cannot hide. And it is hoped that by targeting these key "trans-shipment" vessels, which conduct the mid-ocean exchanges of illegal catch, that many of the smaller "dark" boats can be disrupted as well. Chile and the Pacific island republic of Palau will be among the first to use the system to help protect their fishing interests. Palau is setting up a marine reserve, and with its economic waters extending over an area the size of France, it knows it faces an immense challenge in keeping tabs on a fleet of problematic boats from Asia. Koebel Sakuma is a senior adviser to the president. He told BBC News: "We've seen an exponential increase in illegal activity in our region in the past two years. "It's a difficult situation for us in that we're a small country

They will be tried at Coventry Magistrates' Court on 5 and 6 November. An Insolvency Service spokesman confirmed that "criminal proceedings have been commenced against David Smith, Robert Peto and Thomas Wright". "We will not be commenting until the criminal proceedings have been concluded," they added. The Insolvency Service said that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) was bringing the prosecution on its behalf. Coventry-based City Link, owned by investment firm Better Capital, called in administrators on Christmas Eve after "substantial losses". On New Year's Eve it announced 2,356 job losses after a bid to buy the company failed. A week later it announced a further 230 redundancies. The company was founded in 1969. It was bought by Better Capital for £1 in April 2013.

Government troops launched an offensive in Ras Baalbek, the last remaining IS stronghold in the country, on Saturday. The army says there are about 600 militants in the mountainous region, which IS has held since 2014. About 20 militants have been killed in the latest operation and 10 soldiers have been injured, the military says. The offensive is aimed at ridding the area of IS militants who are armed with anti-aircraft and armour-piercing missiles and drones, the Lebanese army said. Youssef Roufeyel, a resident of Ras Baalbek, told Reuters news agency the people of his village would do whatever was necessary for victory. "This battle requires help and support from the people, and we are behind the army and by their side," he said. The Lebanese army later posted an image on its website showing its troops waving both a Lebanese and a Spanish flag in Ras Baalbek in what it described as a "salute from our troops" to the victims of the Barcelona terror attack in which 13 people were killed on Thursday. IS said it had carried out the attack, which took place in the city's famous Las Ramblas district, though it is not clear whether any of the attackers were directly connected to the group or simply inspired by it. The latest operation in Lebanon comes as IS faces a number of military strikes on territory it controls in both Syria and neighbouring Iraq, where a brutal fight to rid Mosul of its militants left the city in ruins. Militants have long been active in mountainous eastern Lebanon near the border with Syria, where a bloody civil war has raged since 2011. Meanwhile, the Syrian army and the Lebanese Shia Islamist group, Hezbollah, announced their own offensive against IS, though Lebanon said that the two operations were not connected.

The 34-year-old former England front man says there is more to come as Bluebirds prepare to play Derby. "It doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to score goals, but performance-wise, fitness-wise it's only going to get better," he told BBC Wales Sport. "That first one it took me four games, but I'm off the mark now and I'm looking forward to Tuesday." The win over Rotherham lifted Cardiff out of the Championship relegation zone and ended a run of four consecutive defeats. Derby visit the Welsh capital on Tuesday who having dropped into the relegation places - one place and two points behind the Bluebirds. Lambert says it is important for Cardiff to build on the win at the New York Stadium and climb the table. "Our aim is to be in and around the play-offs," he added. "I'm not saying because we've got three points that we're going to get there - we're nowhere near that level yet - but we've made a small step and that's all we can do." Lambert has scored 216 goals in 592 league appearances since his career began as a trainee at Blackpool in 1998. But he had played little football in the past two seasons having become out of favour at West Brom. He added: "Scoring goals will help me confidence wise - and so will going from two years not playing to playing 90 minutes. "I was hoping to get on the score sheet as soon as possible to help my team-mates and get us some points again. "It's a small step to where we want to go so I'm made up."

The attacks took place between April and July last year at addresses in Portadown, County Armagh, and Banbridge and Gilford in County Down. The officers' homes and vehicles were attacked and in some cases destroyed. Those charged were among nine people detained by police on Tuesday as part of the investigation. Two men were charged with a number of offences on Wednesday evening. They face charges of arson with intent to endanger life, conspiracy to cause an explosion and drugs offences. The men will appear at Lisburn Magistrates' Court on Thursday. Earlier on Wednesday, four men and a woman appeared at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on arson and drugs-related offences. The woman is 21 while the others are aged 17, 20, 36 and 51. They faced a number of charges, including conspiracy to commit arson and conspiracy to cause an explosion. Two of the nine arrested - women aged 27 and 42 - have been charged with drugs offences and are expected to appear at the same court next month. The arrests took place in Larne, Lisburn, Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon. Detectives also searched properties in counties Antrim, Armagh and Down on Tuesday morning.

A film was shot in the US, and was shown at a small cinema in Hollywood at the end of June. But it is the clips posted to YouTube, translated into Arabic, which appear to have sparked these protests. The video - Innocence of Muslims - first appeared online on 1 July, posted in English by someone using the pseudonym "sambacile." It was very badly made and cheaply produced, with poor acting and little in the way of storyline. The most offensive comments about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad had been quite obviously dubbed onto the soundtrack afterwards and not spoken by the actors. One actress featured in the film said she had no idea it would be used for anti-Islamic propaganda and condemned it. Cindy Lee Garcia, from Bakersfield in California, was quoted by the website Gawker saying she had a small role in the film which she was told would be called Desert Warriors, about life in Egypt 2,000 years ago. She threatened to sue the director for the way the actors were represented. In fact a film called The Innocence of Bin Laden was shown at a small independent cinema on Hollywood Boulevard called the Vine Theatre on 30 June this year. Someone present, who asked not to be identified, said it lasted about an hour, had very poor production values and attracted just a handful of viewers in the two showings that evening. He said the man organising the screening was an Egyptian living in America who had hired two Egyptian security guards for the evening. A man saying he was the writer and director, and claiming to be Sam Bacile, spoke to a number of media outlets on Tuesday, making inflammatory anti-Islamic comments in support of the film. He claimed to be 52, or 56, depending on the source, and to be an Israeli-born Jewish estate agent who had raised millions of dollars from Jewish donors to make the film. But prior to last week he did not exist online, except as the YouTube posting name, and there was no record of a developer of that name. Questions started being asked over whether Sam Bacile was a real person. An American right-wing extremist called Steve Klein, linked with various anti-Islamic groups in California, promoted the video, but said he did not know the identity of the director. He contradicted himself in media interviews while expressing radical views, and eventually admitted he thought Sam Bacile was just a pseudonym. Pastor Terry Jones from Florida, whose anti-Muslim actions have included burning Korans, said he had been in touch with a Mr Bacile over promotion of the film, but had not met him and could not identify him. Another name appeared linked to the film - Morris Sadek - an Egyptian American from the anti-Islamic National American Coptic Assembly. His promotion of the movie brought inquiries into the involvement of Coptic Christian groups. The Copts make up a sizeable Christian minority in Egypt and some have raised concern

About 50 officers have been diverted to process reports of crimes filed on the internet and by email. The force said "the significant majority were on restricted duties". But the BBC has been told some were neighbourhood patrol officers and communities were "noticing fewer police on the beat". More on how officers are being taken off patrol, plus more Devon and Cornwall news Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg said earlier this year the 101 service was currently not fit for purpose and had got worse. Devon and Cornwall Police has since encouraged people to use email or an online form to report crimes to cut delays calling the 101 non-urgent number, which has been criticised for long delays. In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "In response to the 101 delays, the force moved around 50 people including officers, PCSOs and other staff to assist the contact centre. "The significant majority of these were on restricted duties therefore were unable to undertake front line duties or their usual job role. "The team have been recording crime information, to release our call handlers to answer 101 and 999 calls. "This is a short term position and we expect all the staff to be returned to their original roles by Christmas."

His hiring follows the sacking of Tykes assistant Tommy Wright, who was named in a Daily Telegraph investigation alleging corruption in football. Wright has denied breaking any law or Football Association and Fifa rules. Clapham, 40, left his previous role as first-team coach at League One side Coventry on 29 September. He joined the Sky Blues coaching staff in June 2015, having previously worked alongside manager Tony Mowbray at Middlesbrough.

Hill House in Helensburgh faces a significant threat from longstanding issues with "excessive water ingress", the trust said. The house, built for publisher Walter Blackie in 1902, is regarded as the architect's finest domestic building. Mackintosh also designed nearly everything inside the house. NTS, the heritage body which has cared for the building for more than 30 years, said Mackintosh made use of "innovative" building techniques to create the beautiful, minimalist exterior design. Because he did not use "traditional weathering details", however, there had been "excessive water ingress" into the 113-year-old building. Director of Conservation Terry Levinthal said the NTS had agreed a strategy for repairing the building and was now beginning a fundraising drive, with an appeal to international donors as well as UK benefactors and grants. He said: "The Hill House is clearly a place of the highest cultural significance, and must be well looked after. "Caring for our heritage can be very complex and this project is a prime example of that. "The trust has been exploring how best to resolve the longstanding issues of water ingress. We have now concluded what our repair strategy is going to be, after considerable research investigation and consultation with stakeholders. "This is time-consuming and, of course, the costs are significant too. "We are in the early stages of fundraising in support of this major project to protect the Hill House, Mackintosh's finest example of domestic design, for future generations."

The chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) told the BBC the sector would be under threat outside the single market. Mike Hawes told BBC business editor Simon Jack that the industry's success came from being in the single market. The European Union is the UK motor industry's biggest export market. Mr Hawes, who has warned on previous occasions that the industry's future growth may be hit, was speaking in Paris where he is attending the city's motor show. He said: "Don't be blinded by the good news that you're seeing not just around our sector but around business in general. We're very concerned that the future state of the automotive industry and the success could be jeopardised if we're not in the single market." Analysis: Simon Jack, BBC business editor The UK car industry kicked off its own Tour de France today in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower on the sidelines of the Paris Motor Show. Vauxhall, Nissan, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mini, Toyota and McLaren models were lined up alongside each other. However, this showroom was not for selling cars, but for issuing the auto sector's starkest warning yet. It says only continued membership of the European single market can guarantee the success of the UK car industry. The car industry is particularly sensitive to tariffs, as components and finished products can criss-cross over the Channel several times. Any additional frictional cost can throw sand in the engine of that business and its extended supply chains. Membership of the single market ensures tariff-free trade, but comes at the price of freedom of movement of people - an unacceptable outcome for most who voted Leave. UK auto's starkest warning yet He added that the growth of the industry would be under threat outside the single market "because the success we've had and the strength of it has been built on being part of the single market". The UK's membership of the EU's single market means it has free movement of goods, finance and people around the EU, without any tariffs or other barriers, as well as giving it a say on how the EU's rules are written. While the UK would still be able to export to the single market member countries even if it were not itself a member, it would have to negotiate trade deals, which could involve paying tariffs, customs delays and having to abide by EU rules, over which it would have no say. In the first half of the year, 57.3% of UK car exports, a total of 502,647 cars, went to the EU, followed by the US, which had 12.1% of exports. "It's our biggest export market," Mr Hawes said. "We're an export-led industry and the way that the parts move in and out of different countries, it's a highly complex process. Being part of that single market not just makes it easy but makes it affordable." His comments were backed up by Hanno Kirner Executive Director of Corporate

Police were called to Pebble View, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, by paramedics at 09:25 GMT on Saturday. Ch Insp Kevin Mulligan said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report was being compiled for the coroner. "This was sudden and unexpected," he said. "Our specially-trained officers are giving support to the family at this very difficult time." No other details have yet been released.

One post in particular on the 4chan message board - which describes itself as "a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images anonymously" - threatened a school shooting in the northwest of the US. Comments made by others in the thread following this post, encouraged the original poster, 'OP', to carry out his threats. It is not yet clear whether the anonymous comments came from the gunman himself or from another user. Police have not identified the attacker but unnamed officers have told US media his name is Chris Harper Mercer. The site is now being investigated by federal law enforcement authorities in the US, according to the New York Times. The 4chan message board offers an anonymous and largely unmoderated platform for discussion. People often post threats on the site and others reply. When a mass shooting was committed at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado in 2012, there were also suspicious threads surrounding the incident on 4chan. One post in Thursday's thread talked of getting a "high score", a reference to some of the more notorious comments in the wake of the Aurora shooting. The thread also included discussion about socially awkward or underachieving people, with which this particular board within 4chan most identifies. Regulars call this the "Beta uprising" and stand opposed to alpha males and females, known as "Chads" and "Stacys", as well as what they call "normies". Message boards were a popular forum for informal online chat before the emergence of social media platforms. However, the presence of this discussion and its link to another high profile shooting has thrown a light on the platforms and their propensity to be used to spread violent messages.

Media playback is not supported on this device Amateur Peter, 46, beat reigning champion Neil Robertson to reach the third round, while Oliver, 21, defeated world number three Judd Trump. They are the first father-and-son pair to make the last 32 of a ranking event since Geoff and Neal Foulds in 1986. "We are on a high. If he's doing well, that's what I want," Peter said. He told BBC Sport: "I will try as hard as I can and if I come out on top all well and good. If I don't, I will still be here on Tuesday with Oliver. "If I do ok, it is just a bonus." The Leeds-based duo have played together in the last 32 at PTC events but have never previously progressed to the same stage of a ranking event. Peter plays Liam Highfield on Monday, while Oliver, who is 61st in the world rankings, plays Jimmy Robertson on Tuesday. The pair are not due to meet until the semi-finals, "mainly because I have been going out early," said Peter, who added that he would not recommend putting any money on a Lines family meeting in the final four. "I would say keep your money in your pocket," he said. "One of us might do, but I wouldn't like to say which one. There are a lot of big names in the top half of the draw. Ronnie O'Sullivan is in there and so is Mark Williams." Peter, who fell off the main snooker tour this season, said watching Oliver is not normally stressful, but seeing his son struggle for form this season has been tough. "It is probably the first time for the last two or three years that he has been low on confidence because he has risen up the rankings every year," Peter said. "Normally I just enjoy watching him play. "But I have I always said to him that as long as he practises hard and has a first-class attitude, the results will come." Oliver added: "It's weird. We are not used to winning. I will take playing him in the semi-finals. "I have lost a few matches that I feel I should have won this season. I was struggling with my confidence before this tournament. "But I have been practising very, very hard. Dad told me if I keep practising the way I am then my form will turn around. I am hoping it will be this week." Sign up to My Sport to follow snooker news and reports on the BBC app.

The players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, is working with the EFL and the club to try and rectify the issue. All Morecambe's staff were due to be paid eight days ago. "We have been assured that it will be sorted next week, so it's fingers crossed that will happen," said PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor. "Apparently there's been cash-flow problems. I spoke to the owner and spoke to the Football League, and at the moment, no, the lads have not had their wages on time. "There's talk of maybe selling a player, we're awaiting a response from the Football League with the chief executive there, Shaun Harvey, and the league's lawyers to see if the matter can be resolved as soon as possible and we have been assured that will be will the case. "If it's as we've been told by the owner, we're optimistic it should be resolved quickly." I want to stress that this is a short-term problem and assure fans that we have robust plans in place for the future of our great club. The Shrimps, who host Coventry City in the FA Cup first round on Sunday, were taken over by Brazilian businessman Diego Lemos in September. He said in a statement: "I would like to apologise to all the players and staff who have not been paid on time. "I deeply regret the problems this has caused but want to reassure everyone that the issues will be resolved soon and I want to thank the players and the staff for their understanding so far. "We have faced a number of unexpected cash flow problems, but have put plans in place to make sure we get some funds in place next week and make sure everyone receives the money they are owed." Morecambe are 12th in League Two, with six wins from their 15 games this season.

The pilot said the decision to return to Perth 90 minutes after leaving was made because of "technical issues" with the passenger plane. "I could tell by the cabin crew's reaction that it was really bad," passenger Sophie Nicolas told ABC News. The plane landed safely at 10:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Sunday. "I was crying a lot, a lot of people were crying, trying to call their mums and stuff but we couldn't really do anything just wait and trust the captain," Ms Nicolas told ABC, adding: "Everybody burst into applause when we landed." Police said marine emergency services north of Perth were put on standby to prepare for a possible water landing, the news network reports. A number of passengers on board the budget flight said the plane had suffered an "engine seizure" causing it to shake. AirAsia X did not give details about the technical issue behind the incident. In a statement, it said the safety of passengers was "our utmost priority". Earlier this month an Airbus A330 belonging to China Eastern Airlines was forced to make an emergency landing in Sydney after a huge hole appeared in one of its engine casings. Several terrified passengers later described hearing a very loud noise soon after leaving Sydney for Shanghai. Images were posted on social media showing the extent of the damage. In December 2014, an AirAsia plane crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people on board after the aircraft's rudder control system malfunctioned during the flight.

William Page died of chest injuries at an industrial estate in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, in February 2015. An inquest heard he was driving out of the site when the barrier swung into his van. He had not inserted a pin into the barrier to keep it open. The jury returned a conclusion of accidental death. Mr Page, of Stanley Common, a car enthusiast, had spent two hours working on his Peugeot at the site. Health and Safety Executive engineer Michael Goodwin said: "The barrier is free to swing open quite freely. You are not going to need much in the way of wind loads or someone knocking it to cause it to move." He added that it was a known problem and the second such incident in 12 months. The inquest, held in Derby, heard the barrier was already partially open when Mr Page attempted to leave the site. Speaking after the hearing, his father Brian said: "I just feel sad, he was a lovely lad." Mr Page had told his family that he was going to be a father the day before the accident. His partner Rachael Cross, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time, had a scan of their baby buried with him.

Councillors approved a multi-million pound deal for Wasps Rugby Club to buy into the Ricoh on Tuesday. But president of Coventry Rugby Club Peter Rossborough said he was disappointed to be "omitted completely" from any discussions with the council. "It's a bit of a blow to us but we're very resilient," he said. Councillors said on Tuesday they supported a deal to sell the authority's 50% share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership rugby club. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) said the Professional Game Board (PGB) had also agreed to the deal. Wasps have confirmed Jaguar Land Rover as new sponsors. The club, traditionally a London team, have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years. Coventry Rugby Club was formed more than 130 years ago and currently play in National League One at the Butts Park Arena in the city. Former England international Mr Rossborough said they would "bounce back" to work closely with Wasps "to create the best possible future for both of our clubs for our city." Nick Eastwood, Wasps chief executive, said the decision had not been taken lightly. "The reality of our situation is clear - less than two years ago Wasps was just hours away from going out of business." He said the club would continue to communicate with season ticket holders to explain what they will offer them to thank them for their loyalty. He also said the move did not now mean people had to choose between Coventry Rugby Club or Wasps. "It's about collaboration to make sure both clubs thrive and help each other, building attendances for each club and giving supporters even more rugby to enjoy. "Wasps will work hard to become part of the community and help support the development of grassroots rugby in Coventry and Warwickshire." In August, Coventry City announced their return to the city by playing their League One games at the 32,000-seat stadium. Mr Eastwood said Wasps were "delighted" to see them back and added: "We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Sky Blues." But Mr Rossborough said City fans were "dismayed", like he was, not to have been consulted over the Wasps move. "It's been a massive exercise in non-democracy," he said. About 27,000 people came to see Coventry City play their first game at the Ricoh last month but crowd numbers have fallen since then. But Mr Rossborough said he hoped the relocation by Wasps would have a positive impact on sport in the city. "Wasps could spark a genuine interest in not just rugby but all sport across the city," he said. "Even with the Sky Blues being at the Ricoh, it was great that first game when 27,000 turned up, but there hasn't been huge crowds since." The council said the move guaranteed the football club's continuing tenancy at the stadium and they would also have "primacy over match fixtures". Sky Blues chairman Tim Fisher

Krejcir and his co-accused, two of whom are part of the Hawks elite police unit, had pleaded not guilty to the charges. This is the first conviction against Krejcir, 46, who faces four separate trials in South Africa. Local media have described him as a "mafia boss" but he denies links to the criminal underworld. Krejcir was accused of ordering the kidnap and torture of Bheki Lukhele, whose brother had allegedly disappeared with 25kg (55lbs) of drugs. He was arrested by South African police at his home in Johannesburg in late 2013 over the incident. In July 2013, he made local and international headlines when he survived an attempt to kill him using guns hidden behind a car number plate operated by remote control. A number of his associates have been killed in separate incidents over the years but Krejcir has repeatedly denied any involvement with local organised crime syndicates whose operations are reported to also include drug dealing. The businessman is also wanted in the Czech Republic, where he was convicted in absentia last year on tax fraud charges. Krejcir moved to South Africa in 2007, where he is applying for asylum. He says he will be killed if he is forced to return to the Czech Republic.

Many more people are injured and some are in a critical condition. Local authorities have appealed for people to give blood. Mr Renzi has ordered an official investigation in to the crash, which happened on Tuesday morning. The trains were on a single-track line between the towns of Bari and Barletta. It was unclear what led to the collision, which happened in good weather at 11:30 local time (09:30 GMT) in the southern region of Puglia. Rescue workers from the emergency services have been trying to free passengers from the shattered carriages and one small child was pulled out and airlifted to hospital. Mr Renzi said it was "a moment for tears". He said: "I want to express my condolences to the families and I have ordered, with no holding back, an inquiry to find who is responsible. "I think we must have absolute clarity on this. We will not stop until we understand what happened." Italy's President Sergio Mattarella said the crash was "an unacceptable tragedy" and his "first thought" was with victims and their families. Under floodlights, heavy machinery is pulling pieces of wreckage from the line as rescue teams check for any more bodies. It looks like the recovery effort will continue round the clock. Even the army has been brought to the olive groves on this remote stretch of rural line. From some of the carriages there is very little left that is recognisable - this was a powerful, sudden impact at high speed. This line is privately run with a decent safety record. So the key question is how did two trains end up on the same piece of track speeding towards each other? Both trains had four carriages and some were so badly damaged by the crash that there was little left but debris. "I saw dead people, others who were begging for help, people crying. The worst scene of my life," one policeman told journalists. Italian media reported that the first named victim was a 53-year-old policeman called Fulvio Schinzari, whose body was found by a fellow policeman who was helping the rescue services. In total, about 200 were involved in the rescue operation, working in temperatures up to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F).

The FTSE 100 ended the day down 27.06 points or 0.42% at 6,417.02. WPP shares dropped 2.2%, despite the company saying it was on track to hit its full-year targets. Like-for-like net sales grew by 3.3% in the third quarter, up from 2.3% in the first half of the year. Its full-year target is growth above 3%. However, analysts said the results were slightly disappointing. In the FTSE 250, shares in TalkTalk fell a further 12% as investors continued to shun the telecoms company in the wake of last week's cyber-attack. At the weekend, TalkTalk chief executive Dido Harding said the attack was "smaller" than originally thought, but customers' bank account and sort code details may have been accessed. Shares in Aberdeen Asset Management rose 2.9% following a report in the Financial Times that the company could be up for sale. The FT said that Aberdeen's chief executive, Martin Gilbert, had begun to seek possible buyers of the business. However, in a statement issued to the Reuters news agency, the company denied the reports. "In his 32 years running Aberdeen, Martin Gilbert has never approached anyone, formally or informally, about buying the business," the statement said. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.3% against the dollar to $1.5361 and was barely moved against the euro at €1.3905.

The players complained of "terrible stomach aches" after eating a meal of spaghetti bolognaise on Sunday at the team's hotel in Minsk. Luxembourg had contacted European football's governing body Uefa about possibly rescheduling the game. But a team spokesperson says the players are feeling "much better". The food poisoning came one day after Luxembourg, fifth in Euro 2016 qualifying Group C, beat Macedonia 1-0 at home. Both Luxembourg and Belarus are already out of contention for qualifying for next year's tournament in France. In 2006, 10 Tottenham players came down with food poisoning before a vital match with West Ham. Spurs lost 2-1, enabling their rivals Arsenal to secure fourth place and a Champions League spot ahead of them.

The ruin was recently discovered at Achtriochtan, one of the places where some of the 38 murdered members of the MacDonald clan lived. The killings in Glen Coe in February 1692 were carried out on the orders of the government. A National Trust for Scotland team will visit the site next week. The discovery was made during a routine inspection of known archaeological sites in the area by trust staff. Little of the building survives, but the workers were able to see the rough rectangular outline of it. The trust's head of archaeology Derek Alexander said: "We were very excited to discover these remains. "Most of the archaeological sites in the glen are stone-built structures, likely to date to after the agricultural changes of the mid 18th or 19th Century. "Prior to then, most buildings would have been built of turf, perhaps with one or two stones included in the base of the wall." Mr Alexander added: "It is impossible to provide a precise date for the Achtriochtan structure from their surface remains alone, but by carrying out a detailed drawing of the site and undertaking a comprehensive photographic record we will provide a basis for any future research." The members of the MacDonald clan were killed on 13 February by a detachment of government soldiers led by Capt Robert Campbell of Glen Lyon. The events played a part in mobilising popular support across the Highlands for the Jacobite cause in the years leading to the 1715 uprising. Years later, Sir Walter Scott wrote a poem about the events of 1692. In February last year, lines from the poem were beamed on to the landscape of Glen Coe.

The club wants to upgrade its stand, facilities and build a new supermarket at the Copse End of Huish Park. But the council says the plans breach national planning policy framework as an out-of-town store would impact on the vitality of the town centre shops. Yeovil Town FC said it did not wish to comment. Council leader Ric Pallister said: "There is a presumption from central government we shouldn't grant planning permission to out-of-town superstores." The application was due to be discussed in May, but the date was cancelled after further paperwork was needed from the football club. No date has been set for the plans to go before the planning committee. Mr Pallister said: "The land upon which they wish to seek planning permission for is indeed public open recreation space so selling that will mean we also have to re-provide that somewhere else. "It is probable that it will end up in an appeals situation, but even if we were to grant it there is a very strong chance that the secretary of state would call in the whole matter for him to determine because it breaches government planning policy." Parish councils and the town council, which have been consulted on the plans, have already objected to the expansion.

The number of alleged offences reported to police in England and Wales rose from 5,215 in 2013 to 9,290 in 2016. Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said such abuse "may become the next scandal in our society". The National Police Chiefs' Council said the increase was down to "more awareness and greater victim confidence". The figures, obtained by Barnardo's under the Freedom of Information Act, showed there were 32,452 reports to police of alleged sexual offences by children on other children over the four-year period - an average of more than 22 every day. Seven of the 43 forces in England and Wales either did not respond or provided a partial response. The number of reported cases more than doubled in 12 areas, including by 521% in Warwickshire and 371% in Norfolk. The Metropolitan Police (5,470), West Yorkshire (3,192) and Greater Manchester (3,024) had the highest number of reported cases in the country. These forces also have the highest populations. Mr Khan said the figures represented "another wake-up call". He said such abuse could happen because perpetrators had been "abused themselves and may not have received the right support". National Police Chiefs' Council Lead for Child Protection, Simon Bailey, who is also the chief constable of Norfolk Police, said it was important to "build resilience in young people and educate them about sexual relationships". He said officers in Norfolk were working with schools to raise awareness of abuse. Conservative MP for Wealden, Nusrat Ghani, who chaired a cross-party inquiry on Harmful Sexual Behaviour last year, said: "In this smartphone age, parents must also play a vigilant role in protecting their children from harmful sexual behaviour and images."

Media playback is not supported on this device He had been suspended while the sporting body investigated allegations of derogatory comments about Para-cyclists. Great Britain cyclist Jess Varnish previously said Sutton made sexist comments towards her and told her to "go and have a baby". Sutton "rejects the specific claims". In a statement, the 58-year-old Australian said the allegations against him had "become a distraction" to British athletes and that he decided to step down "in the best interests of British Cycling". His resignation comes on the day Great Britain's athletes start their 100-day countdown to the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sutton said: "It is important that the review announced by British Cycling and UK Sport now takes place, and I will obviously co-operate fully with this. "I have made clear that I reject the specific claims that have been made against me in recent days, and I look forward to taking a full part in the review process so I can respond to the allegations in detail." British Cycling chief executive Ian Drake added that programmes director Andy Harrison would take over and thanked Sutton for "his work with British Cycling and the part he has played in our success". "I understand and respect Shane's decision to stand down. His primary focus has always been the athletes, and this decision is something he has taken to allow them to focus on their preparation for Rio," said Drake. Sutton's predecessor, Sir Dave Brailsford, said the Australian's contribution to the success of British cycling had been "immense". Brailsford, who oversaw a British team that won eight gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, said: "His sole focus has always been the athletes, and so it's understandable that if he feels this has become a distraction to their preparation for Rio he has put the interests of the team first and decided to stand down." Media playback is not supported on this device Varnish, 25, who was dropped from the GB team after failing to qualify for the sprint team for Rio, said she spoke out against Sutton in order to change attitudes at British Cycling. Sutton, who has been a GB coach since 2002, denies Varnish's claims, which include him making a sexist comment about her body shape. He said that Varnish's contract was not renewed because her times had slowed over the past three years and she was unlikely to win a medal, saying she was "not up to the job". "There was never any talk of babies," he told The Times. He insisted he had never used the terminology "you've got a fat arse", adding: "I'm just really upset she would say that." British Cycling had already begun an "independent review" into its performance programmes following Varnish's comments. It then started a further investigation and suspended Sutton on Wednesday after Darren Kenny, one of Britain's most decorated Para-cyclists, told the Daily Mail he heard members of the British disability team referred to as "gimps". Kenny, 46,

He played a long, dogged innings, and though he could not lead his team to victory, he has avoided a defeat. His party has emerged as the largest in the north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, a region that has borne the brunt of attacks by Taliban militants. He has also won one, and may win another, of the 12 parliamentary seats from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), a strip of land adjacent to KP where Taliban militants fighting the Nato forces in Afghanistan have sanctuaries. It wasn't until final results were released that it emerged that Mr Khan had only narrowly missed out on securing the legally important position of leader of the opposition in the national parliament. For many, however, his has been a remarkable achievement, and one which will see his party make further inroads into the Punjab heartland from where it bagged a substantial amount of votes, though fewer seats. But that will depend on how quickly he can recover from the back injury he sustained when he fell off a fork-lift during an election rally last week. He suffered three minor fractures in the spine but his nervous system was unharmed. His doctor has told the BBC that Mr Khan will have another two weeks of bed rest before walking again with the help of a brace. He is set to make a full recovery over the coming weeks, his doctors say. In an end-of-the campaign speech from his hospital bed last week - which was broadcast to a rally in the capital Islamabad via a video link - he seemed to open his heart to his audience when he talked about the long struggle which was about to come to fruition, and the sacrifices he had had to make, including the pain of losing his wife. "My wife, poor woman, she had to leave me because they wouldn't let her live in peace," he said in an emotional moment. An international cricketing celebrity, Mr Khan led Pakistan to its cricket World Cup triumph in 1992. But he made a shaky start of his political innings back in the mid-1990s. He was harassed by the conservative and Islamist circles who accused him of being a "Zionist agent". This was because he had married an English heiress, Jemima Goldsmith, whose father, Sir James Goldsmith, came from a Jewish background. The marriage lasted nine years and produced two children, both boys. To the electorate, he came across as a political lightweight who had no ideological moorings and only ambiguous views on crucial issues. His message of Islamic values and the formation of an Islamic welfare state that would not be a slave of the West were interpreted by many as the ramblings of a "playboy-turned-puritan". He suffered an early scandal when a widely respected welfare activist, Abdus Sattar Edhi, took temporary refuge in London, saying he was being threatened by a group that included Mr Khan and Hamid Gul, a former chief of Pakistani intelligence (ISI). In

This was the outcome of decades of political and military efforts to secure self-rule by the Kurdish minority, who are estimated to number more than 6 million and make up between 17% and 20% of the population of Iraq. Kurds, who number 30-40 million in total, live in a compact area that reaches from Syria in the west to Iran in the east and Iraq in the south, north through Turkey, and into the states of the former Soviet Caucasus. Only in Iraq have they managed to set up a stable government of their own in recent times, albeit within a federal state. However, the increase of sectarian tensions within Iraq as a whole from 2013 onwards, culminating in a campaign of violence launched by the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq, meant that by 2014 the unity of Iraq was under severe threat. In July 2014, Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani announced that his government planned to hold a referendum on independence later in the year, given that Iraq was already "effectively partitioned". The announcement triggered alarm among Iraq's neighbours, who feared that it could set a precedent for their own restive Kurdish minorities. But a change of leadership in the Iraqi government was followed by improved relations with Iraqi Kurdistan. The two sides agreed to work together to defeat the common enemy of Islamic State and plans for an independence referendum were put on hold. The Kurds of Iraq came under British colonial rule after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. Frustrated in their hopes for independence, Kurdish leaders launched a series of rebellions against British and subsequent Iraqi rule. These were put down ruthlessly, most notoriously in the late 1980s when Saddam Hussein attacked the Kurds with massed armed forces in the 'Anfal' campaign. This involved the deliberate targeting of civilians with chemical weapons, most notoriously in the town of Halabja in 1988. Various Iraqi governments promised autonomy to the Kurds after the 1958 revolution, but none came to fruition until the anti-Saddam international coalition established a partial no-fly zone in northern Iraq in 1991 after the first Gulf War. This allowed Kurdish leaders and their Peshmerga armed forces to consolidate their hold on the north after Iraqi forces withdrew, and provided the basis for the 2005 constitutional settlement. The immediate tasks facing the Kurdish government were great, and included rebuilding infrastructure, creating an administration and absorbing hundreds of thousands of displaced people after years of war and destruction. Overall its efforts exceeded all expectations. Iraqi Kurdistan largely escaped the privations of the last years of Saddam's rule and the chaos that followed his ouster in 2003, and built a parliamentary democracy with a growing economy. Major problems remain, nonetheless. The landlocked Kurdistan Region is surrounded by countries unsympathetic to Kurdish aspirations, like Turkey and Iran, and by states approaching internal collapse - Syria and the rest of Iraq. It is also in dispute with the Iraqi government over several territories, in particular the historic city

Dyfed-Powys Police was called to the A40 near Llanspyddid, near Brecon, at 07:35 GMT on Friday. The woman who was killed was 58 and a 21-year-old remains in hospital. Police are investigating the cause of the crash and the road has since reopened.

The Amy Johnson initiative named after the first female pilot to fly solo from the UK to Australia, prompted a surge in applications. Easyjet says it wants to increase the number further and has set a target for 20% of new pilot cadets to be female. However, it said that target was "stretching". Women account for just 6% of Easyet's new pilot intake. The airline has 164 female pilots, of whom 62 are captains, about 14% of the world's total. They include Kate McWilliams, 26, who earlier this year became the world's youngest female captain for a major commercial airline. Based at Gatwick airport, she flies Airbus A319 and A320 planes to locations including Iceland, Israel and Morocco. Only 3% of commercial airline pilots worldwide are female and just 450 of them have achieved the rank of captain. That means every female captain in the world could fit onto an A380 aircraft. Rival airline BA has also been trying to recruit more female pilots in the past two years. A survey it conducted into why there were so few women applying to fly found reasons ranging from a belief that women could only be cabin crew, to being told flying was a man's job. Easyjet chief executive Carolyn McCall said it was hard to think of another high-profile profession where women were so under-represented. She told the BBC's Today programme that the industry needed to work on stereotyping. "I still think there are quite firm attitudes about who flies aircraft - and that's from passengers, even female passengers," she said. "There is a very deep perception here, which is that women don't fly planes." The British Airline Pilots' Association pilots' union, Balpa, said that ability was the most important quality for a pilot. Wendy Pursey, head of membership and career services, said: "It's great to see airlines trying to redress the balance. Balpa believes the only thing that should matter in securing a job as a pilot should be your ability, not your background, financial situation or gender." But it said that a more balanced workforce could only be a positive thing.

It means members of the RMT union will strike for 48 hours from 18:30 BST on Wednesday over concerns over safety, job losses and buffet services. The union said the firm was "going through the motions" in the talks. The strike is likely to affect passengers attending the second day of the first Ashes test match in Cardiff. The five-day game, at the The SWALEC Stadium, is due to begin on Wednesday morning. RMT General Secretary, Mick Cash, said: "RMT has made every effort to secure a series of very basic assurances from FGW over jobs, services and safety as a result of the introduction of the new Hitachi fleet and they have shown no intention of addressing those issues in the talks today. "RMT is angry and disappointed that the company have ignored the massive vote for action by their staff and have instead opted to plough ahead with a series of actions that will decimate jobs, services and safety. "As a result of FGW collapsing the talks in this cavalier fashion the action goes ahead as planned. "It is frankly ludicrous that East Coast, who are introducing the same trains, have given us the assurances we are seeking but FGW have ignored us and are crashing on with the ripping out of buffet cars and the threat to safety-critical station and train staff, purely to maximise the profits from new trains bought for them by the British taxpayer." In a ballot held last week 80% of workers supported strike action and 92% other forms of action. First Great Western said the strike would lead to a revised timetable being operated. The first Hitachi trains will run on the Great Western main line from 2017 and the East Coast main line from 2018. The new trains are being introduced under the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) on routes between London Paddington and Oxford, Bristol and South Wales.

"I think every generation has to play its part in not just restoring, but bringing new things into the cathedral and making it relevant to today's generation." Much of the building that stands proud in the centre of the city of Hereford today was originally built in the 12th Century, although cathedral records show the diocese of Hereford actually dates back to 676. A £5m restoration project of the Cathedral Close area was completed last year thanks to a mix of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other separate donations. But it is not the first time a big project has been undertaken. A notable one was when the cathedral's west front and tower collapsed in 1786, prompting a seven-year restoration. Mr Tavinor helped oversee the latest project in the Close, which included restoring some of the stonework. "We've also introduced new elements into the cathedral," he said. "For instance, if you go to the west end you can see a wonderful apple tree in mosaic based on the carol Jesus Christ the Apple Tree." Glyn Morgan, chief executive of Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust, said he believed clerics and other officials at the cathedral had to think of future implications when it comes to the building's upkeep. Mr Morgan said: "When you're doing some of the stonework now you know that you're planning for 500 years' time. "Our stonemasons were contracted in separately but some of them have worked here 20 years. They become friends and part of the community. "[The Close] was a project which we knew would be defining the space for 150 years. "The work we do with the legacy market of building up endowment funds for the choir, for the fabric - you're having to make decisions which you know people in 400 years' time will actually be having to deal with." The latest restoration work may have cost a lot of money but Mr Tavinor said he believed maintaining churches and cathedrals "is worth every penny". "Thousands and thousands come each year," he said. "I think they wonder at these places. It puts them in touch with something outside themselves. "The history, the beauty, the colour, the sense of mystery - all that is beyond price and people are nurtured and fed by it." Steve Kerry, Hereford City Council's town clerk, said he agreed a properly-maintained cathedral was key to the future of the city which relies on tourism to boost the local economy. "You can't separate the cathedral from the city," he said. "We recognise the cathedral is the biggest single draw and look forward to working with it and other attractions to promote the city."

The leak occurred after a huge sinkhole opened up under a phosphate fertiliser plant near Tampa, damaging the stack where waste water was stored. The water contained phosphogypsum, a slightly radioactive by-product from the production of fertiliser. The phosphate company Mosaic said the leak posed no risk to the public. It added the contaminated water had not reached private supplies and the firm was recovering it using pumps. "Groundwater moves very slowly," senior Mosaic official David Jellerson was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. However, Jacki Lopez, Florida director of the Center for Biological Diversity, told Reuters news agency: "It's hard to trust them when they say 'Don't worry,' when they've been keeping it secret for three weeks." A spokeswoman for Florida's Department of Environmental Protection said the company was updating state and federal agencies on the situation. Dee Ann Miller said her agency was doing frequent site visits to safeguard public health. "While monitoring to date indicates that the process water is being successfully contained, groundwater monitoring will continue to ensure there are no offsite or long-term effects," she said in an email to Associated Press. The sinkhole - about 45ft (14m) in diameter - at Mosaic's New Wales facility in the town of Mulberry was discovered by a company worker on 27 August. The sinkhole later caused the waste pond to drain, and the contaminated water has now seeped into the aquifer. Aquifers are massive underground systems of porous rocks that hold water.

The attack took place in a communal stairway within the flats in George Street on Friday. A 29-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with serious injuries but has since been released. Police have appealed to anyone who saw three men in the area around the time of the attack to come forward with information. Det Insp Norman Stevenson said: "Our inquiries into this incident are continuing and I would urge anyone who was in the George Street area, near Charles Street, or the West North Street area and saw three men around the time of the incident to come forward." The man who has been arrested is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday.

Vladimir Putin has been Russia's dominant political figure since his election as president in 2000, serving two terms and then a four-year stint as prime minister, before resuming the presidency in 2012. Since his re-election against a token opponent, Russia's authorities have further tightened control over the media, marginalised genuine opposition, and adopted a stridently nationalist and anti-Western course to shore up domestic support, in contrast to a previous emphasis on stability and prosperity. The last process accelerated with Mr Putin's tough response to the toppling of the pro-Russian government in Ukraine by pro-EU protests in early 2014. Russia subsequently seized Crimea from Ukraine - a move that prompted Mr Putin's domestic approval rating to soar - and fomented a violent rebellion in the eastern provinces on Russia's border. The following year, President Putin responded to the imperilled state of his ally President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, where Russia maintains its sole Mediterranean naval base, by sending warplanes to bomb the positions of rebel groups. The president presents himself as a strong leader who took Russia out of the economic, social and political crisis of the 1990s and defends Russia's national interests, particularly against what he portrays as Western attempts to corner and foist cultural values on it. Critics say that since taking power, Mr Putin has created an almost neo-feudal system of rule that concentrates control over key economic resources in the hands of a narrow circle of close associates, and is smothering economic dynamism, democratic development and a nascent civil society to protect itself. Several of Mr Putin's rivals and opposition activists have sought safety abroad or ended up in prison, most prominently the former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who spent 10 years in jail following his arrest on tax evasion and fraud charges in 2003. Born in St Petersburg in 1952, Vladimir Putin began his career in the KGB, the Soviet-era security police. From 1990 he worked in the St Petersburg administration before moving to Moscow in 1996. By August 1999 he was prime minister. He was named acting president by his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, and went on to win presidential elections in May 2000, having gained popularity for launching a successful offensive against Chechen rebels, following a mysterious series of deadly explosions in Russian cities. He won again in 2004. Barred by the constitution from running for a third consecutive presidential term in 2008, he made way for his prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, before the two swapped roles in 2012. By this time, parliament had extended presidential terms from four to six years, so that Mr Putin - already one of Europe's longest-serving leaders - could potentially stay in power until 2024.

Twitter was bidding against a number of companies, including Verizon, Yahoo and Amazon, to win the rights. Facebook dropped out of the bidding last week. "Twitter is where live events unfold and is the right partner for the NFL," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The NFL signed a multi-year partnership with Twitter last year to deliver daily video and other content to fans. Television viewers will still be able to watch live games and highlights packages under existing partnerships with traditional broadcasters. In the UK, the NFL signed a five-year deal with Sky last year, while the BBC has a two-year deal to show international series games in London and the Super Bowl, as well as a weekly highlights show and digital clips. As part of the the NFL's new agreement with Twitter, the social media platform will stream live video of 10 Thursday games to its 800 million users. The deal also includes in-game highlights and pre-game Periscope broadcasts from players and teams. "There is a massive amount of NFL-related conversation happening on Twitter during our games," said Goodell. "People watch NFL games with Twitter today," said Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. "Now they'll be able to watch right on Twitter Thursday nights." Last season, the NFL carried out a live streaming trial of a regular-season NFL game with Yahoo.

The head of the Sheba Medical Centre in Tel Hashomer, where he is being treated, said Peres's stroke caused "lots of bleeding". He had been sedated and was breathing with the help of a respirator, his office said. In January, he underwent successful minor surgery at the same hospital after suffering a small heart attack. Mr Peres underwent a series of tests after his arrival at the hospital on Tuesday, and a further assessment is due in the next several hours. The former president's son, Chemi, said the family was going through some "difficult hours". "I'm optimistic. I'm a great believer in my father. He's a unique person. And I pray with all my heart, together with my family, that things will improve from this point on," he said. "Shimon, we love you and the entire nation is wishing for your recovery," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted. The veteran politician has held almost every major political office since Israel was founded in 1948, and was the architect of Israel's secret nuclear programme. He twice served as prime minister and was president from 2007 to 2014. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his role negotiating the Oslo peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier, a prize he shared with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was later assassinated, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Despite his age, Mr Peres has maintained an active public schedule, mostly through his non-governmental Peres Centre for Peace, which promotes closer ties between Israel and the Palestinians. Hours before his hospitalisation, Peres uploaded a video to his Facebook page urging people to buy local products. When leaving hospital after his heart treatment in January, then 92-year-old Peres told reporters he was "so happy to return to work, that was the whole purpose of this operation".

Ken Skates AM has written to new Culture Secretary John Whittingdale to press for the tournament to remain on terrestrial TV. The current deal with the BBC lasts until the end of the 2017 competition. The UK government says it currently has no plans to review the list of protected sporting events. But Mr Skates said rugby's future could be damaged if fewer young people had access to matches on pay-TV. "Suddenly you're reducing the number of people watching the event, particularly young people who get inspired by watching the sport," said Mr Skates. "Short term financial gain could cause longer term pain for those rugby clubs right across Wales who could see a drop-off in membership." He warned it could be "very dangerous and damaging" if Six Nations rugby coverage was lost to satellite channels. For the Wales v England opening match earlier this year, the in-home audience peaked at 1.12m, with an additional 150,000 people watching the match in a pub or club. The same match two years before was the third highest TV audience in Wales this century. Back in January, the Six Nations' chief executive John Feehan told the Daily Telegraph he was prepared to consider all options for the tournament's broadcasting deal, with BT Sport joining Sky Sports as a rival player in the pay-TV market. There have been reports that the next TV deal could be worth £50m a season - a 25% rise on the existing four-year contract. In recent years, the BBC has relinquished its exclusive rights to a number of sporting events, after failing to match the large sums offered by subscription TV services. From 2017 live coverage of the Open Golf championship will be shown exclusively by Sky, while the BBC has shared coverage of Formula 1 with Sky since the 2012 season. Both Sky and BT Sport currently broadcast some or all of the games in other major rugby competitions including the Pro 12, the Lions tours and the European Champions Cup. Meanwhile the BBC has undertaken a period of cost-cutting, leaving it unlikely to be able to match the large sums that rival broadcasters may offer for the Six Nations, and diminishing the prospects of the BBC's current agreement surviving from 2018 onwards. Mr Skates said he would continue to make representations to the UK government, although it was not a devolved matter. "There's careful consideration to be given to the balance between raising revenue for the sport and making sure the vast majority of people in Wales are able to watch the events live. I do believe it should remain free-to-air on terrestrial television. "It's important for the UK Government to recognise that rugby in Wales along with football are the two national games. "The ball is firmly in the court of the UK Government and we will be pressing them to do the right thing." An official for the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the list of 'crown jewel' events given free-to-air protection

Although he once enjoyed dreams of such heroics himself, the 23-year-old ex-Everton apprentice is still happy to be part of football reality. The Shrewsbury Town defender, who left Everton in 2012, said: "It's a man's game and you have to learn quickly. "Playing at a young age with Everton, you live in the bubble," he added. "You're just happy playing in the Under-21s and enjoying the life. A goal goes in, you learn from it, then you go again. So many players at a young age think they've got the world at their feet, but it's not like this." Teenagers Tom Davies and Ademola Lookman, who recently joined Everton from League One side Charlton for £11m, both scored as the Toffees beat City 4-0 at Goodison Park. After loans at Macclesfield and Accrington Stanley during his three years in Everton's professional ranks, Nsiala had to find his feet fast after being released at the age of 20 - to sign on a more permanent basis for Stanley. "As soon as I left Everton and went to Accrington, I realised what the football world was all about," Nsiala, who did not play a first-team game for Everton, told BBC Radio Shropshire. "Every pass has to be perfect. If you make a mistake, it kills you for the whole week. "There are so many fans against you and so many players who want to take your spot. You've got to perform every game. That's the difference between being here and at Everton. It's your living. Every goal that goes in kills me." It does not take long in football for fortunes to turn, as Nsiala found out when he was sent off on his Shrewsbury debut at Swindon on 7 January. Less than a week after being signed for Shrewsbury by his former Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst, Nsiala was red-carded for a challenge in the penalty area on Luke Norris. But Town came back to draw with 10 men, Nsiala's red card was overturned on appeal and he then enjoyed a clean sheet on his home debut in Saturday's 1-0 win over promotion-chasing Bradford City. "I feel at home already," said Nsiala. "I learnt a lot at Grimsby from the gaffer and (Hurst's assistant) Chris Doig. I'm glad I've got the chance to play for them again. The gaffer said he wanted the place to change and put smiles on faces and he's done that." The Kinshasa-born centre-back, who shares his native French tongue with Town's Swiss goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler, has been overlooked since making his international debut for DR Congo in a qualifier for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. For the moment, Nsiala is interested in only club, not country. "I want to be stable here before I can even think about it," he said.
