In an internal letter to bishops, Cardinal Peter Turkson says people should be "encouraged" to exercise their "ecological citizenship". The letter says that climate negotiators meeting in Paris need to hear the voice of "God's people". Activists say the call is evidence of a step-change in the Church's approach to climate change. Major demonstrations across the world have been planned to mark the start of the global climate conference, known as COP21. In Paris, planned big rallies have been cancelled in the wake of the 13 November attacks which killed 130 people. Nearly 1,000 people thought to represent a security risk have been barred from entering the country, said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve. A handful of other activists have been placed under house arrest under emergency powers introduced following the attacks. But elsewhere protesters have taken to the streets to demand action. Over the next two weeks, delegates meeting here are hoping to strike a new, far-reaching deal on climate change. In his letter to around 5,000 Catholic bishops around the world, the cardinal makes it clear that relying on political leaders to achieve environmental justice is not enough. He states that more than one million people around the world are likely to take part in climate marches on 29 November. The marchers will be exercising "global ecological citizenship", he says, and he suggests to the bishops that they "are warmly invited to offer your support in prayer, word and action". The letter gives contact details for the bishops on how to find out about marches in their diocese. "If you could please encourage the faithful and many others to exercise their 'ecological citizenship', this would surely help to reinforce the humble and peaceable spirit of Laudato si', and it would spiritually express communion with the universal church," the letter reads. Cardinal Peter Turkson is president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace but is seen as the Pope's point man on climate change. A sometimes controversial figure within the Church, he was touted as a potential replacement after Pope Benedict's retirement. Under Pope Francis he has emerged as a leading advocate for the environment and helped write the first draft of the Pope's landmark encyclical, Laudato Si'. The Pope has expressed his worries that the negotiating process here in Paris may fail to deliver a global agreement. He said it would be "catastrophic" if global leaders let special interest groups derail the deal. Speaking in Nairobi earlier this week, the Pope said the world faced a stark choice to either "improve or destroy the environment". Environmental campaigners are in little doubt that the letter to Catholic bishops is in keeping with the Pope's progressive stand on climate change. "In the letter he is not only asking people to go to the streets, he is asking them to pray as well," said Oscar Soria from Avaaz, who are organising the global marches. "I think it is a continuation of the Pope's narrative right now, from the encyclical, to his

Site owner City Property has confirmed the market has been "partially re-opened". Only smaller vehicles are being allowed into the site on Thursday evening, although access for HGVs may become possible overnight. Firefighters were called to the two-storey Blochairn Fruit Market in the north east of the city when the alarm was raised at 03:44. At the height of the fire widespread flames could be seen across the site and more than 70 firefighters were in attendance. Workers, who had been processing orders and loading vans, were evacuated. There were no reports of any injuries. Crews are continuing to hose down the building. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said despite extensive damage, much of the building had been saved. The British Hospitality Association had predicted that the blaze would affect local restaurants, flower shops and cafes which rely on daily deliveries from Blochairn. City Property, which owns the site, said it was trying to establish alternative arrangements so that normal business could resume as soon as possible. SFRS deputy assistant chief officer John Joyce said: "What I can tell you is that we've saved a very good proportion of it. "In fact the site operator are pretty happy with the parts that we have saved because that is the main operational part of the building. "It's a real shame for those businesses which have been badly affected, but we're working with the businesses and the city council to get the functioning part open as soon as possible." He said a specialist fire investigation team would attempt to establish the cause of the fire in the coming days. BBC Scotland understands one line of inquiry being looked at by the fire investigation team is the possibility the fire started in a fridge in the fruit market. Fish merchant Donald Neilson, the director of John Vallance Ltd, described seeing the fire coming towards them along the roof. He said there had been reports of a small fire at the other end of the market. Mr Neilson said he had not thought the fire would impact on his the part of the site, and he went to check the fruit market area. "It really was like a raging inferno through there at the far end," said Mr Neilson. "I ran back in and shouted to our staff 'everybody get out right now'." He said deliveries were left lying and vans were left half-loaded. "The most important thing is everybody got out," he said. Jim McGhee, who owns Castle Douglas fruit and veg shop Mitchell's, was also there when the fire broke out. "I was in the market at 02:30 this morning - I had been there for about an hour and the fire alarms went off," he said. "Within 10 minutes the fire had spread right through the bottom end of the market and gas cylinders were exploding. "It was really quite bad." He said it had been quite easy to walk out of the warehouse, and that the fire brigade

Williams wasted little time in beating Ukraine's Elina Svitolina 6-1 6-1 in their rain-delayed fourth-round match Djokovic completed a 3-6 6-4 6-1 7-5 win over Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut, having resumed in the third set. Andy Murray was then scheduled to take on France's Richard Gasquet in the first of the men's quarter-finals. Belgian 12th seed David Goffin completed the fourth round by beating Ernests Gulbis 4-6 6-2 6-2 6-3, and he will face Austria's 13th seed Dominic Thiem, who beat Marcel Granollers 6-2 6-7 (2-7) 6-2 6-4. Spain's Garbine Muguruza became the first player to reach the semi-finals with a 7-5 6-3 win over unseeded American Shelby Rogers. Muguruza will play 2010 finalist Sam Stosur of Australia, who beat Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova 6-4 7-6 (8-6). Victory over Bautista Agut took Djokovic into the quarter-finals, and brought him the distinction of becoming the first man to break the $100m mark in prize money. The Serb, 29, admitted that coach Boris Becker and the rest of his team had helped turn around his fortunes after a lacklustre start in poor weather on Tuesday. "With my coaching team, we had some tough talks on Tuesday night," said Djokovic. "But I came back today with more intensity even though it was a tough mental and physical battle." Djokovic goes on to face Czech seventh seed Tomas Berdych, who beat David Ferrer 6-3 7-5 6-3. World number one Serena Williams looked impressive as she saw off 18th seed Svitolina in just 62 minutes, making it 18 sets in a row for the American at Roland Garros. She will next play unseeded Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan, who beat Spanish 12th seed Carla Suarez Navarro 7-5 7-5 - the first of a potential four matches in four days. "Four in a row? When we play regular tournaments you play four, five matches in a row. It's what happens," said Williams. "It's something you just get used to. It's totally fine I think for me and for everyone." Venus Williams did not fare as well as her sister, losing 6-2 6-4 to Swiss eighth seed Timea Bacsinszky. Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands made it four unseeded players in the women's quarter-finals with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 win over American 15th seed Madison Keys. After Monday's play was completely washed out, tournament director Guy Forget defended the fact that 121 minutes of play - two more than necessary to refund ticket-holders - took place on Court Philippe Chatrier on Tuesday. Bautista Agut had claimed after his loss to Djokovic that tournament officials had "pushed us to play two hours", while defeated seeds Agnieszka Radwanska and Simona Halep also criticised the decision to play on in wet conditions. Former finalist John McEnroe told BBC Sport that continuing with matches had created a "lousy situation" and it was fortunate that no players were injured. Spaniard David Ferrer was even more strident. "The players are those who mean the least to the organisers. They want to make money, it may look

Lower oil prices will help airlines achieve profits of $39.4bn (£27.3bn) this year, compared to $35.3bn in 2015, the body said in its quarterly report. North American airlines will account for more than half of the industry's profits, it said. However, Iata predicts a slowdown in passenger demand. It expects 6.2% growth in 2016, down from 7.4% in 2015. The organisation, which represents 83% of global air traffic, said 2016 is likely to be the fifth consecutive year of improving industry profitability. "Lower oil prices are certainly helping - though tempered by hedging and exchange rates," Tony Tyler, Iata's director general and chief executive, said in a statement. "In fact, we are probably nearing the peak of the positive stimulus from lower prices." Airlines' performance had also been boosted by record passenger load factors - the average percentage of seats filled per flight - as well as joint ventures and growth in ancillary revenues, Mr. Tyler said. The industry is expected to generate revenues of $709bn in 2016. "Looked at from a different angle, Starbucks will earn about $11 for every $100 in sales while airlines will make $5.60," said Mr Tyler. The fortunes of carriers vary dramatically by region. North American airlines will generate $22.9bn in profits, more than half of the industry's profits. Airlines in most other regions are expected to record an increase in profits, but Iata forecasts a loss of $500m for African carriers, compared to a $700m loss in 2015. "Carriers in the region continue to confront a plethora of challenges including intense competition on long-haul routes, political barriers to growing intra-African traffic, high costs and infrastructure deficiencies," Iata said. "In addition, many major economies in the continent have been hit hard by the collapse in commodity prices."

In an interview with Front Row, he said it would be an "honour" to work for the BBC and it is something he would "hope" to do "but only with a British accent". "I think we both feel support from British culture in what we do and how we do it and we often talk about that," he said. The actor, who is promoting his new boxing film Southpaw, spoke to presenter Kirsty Lang. The film is released on 24 July

Millwall, who won May's League One play-off final, went ahead courtesy of Saville's first goal for the Lions. But just past the hour mark, Portuguese winger Morais levelled the scores from a free-kick just outside the box. The result meant that both Millwall and League One runners-up Bolton still await their first Championship wins. Lions goalscorer Saville, who made his loan move from Wolves to the London club permanent over the summer, converted a neat one-two with Steve Morison for the opener. Morison could have doubled the home side's lead, but his improvised hook-shot was cleared off the line by Mark Beevers. Bolton rescued a point when Morais' free-kick from 20 yards proved too good for Millwall keeper Jordan Archer. Millwall manager Neil Harris: "I thought we were the better team. I thought we had the most chances, got our noses in front. "I'm disappointed not to win the game. That's two games in a row where I think we've been the better team in this division and we've only got one point from it. "However, saying that, I'm really pleased for my players that we get our first point on the board." Bolton manager Phil Parkinson: "I'm delighted with our own performance on the day. "Millwall's a tough place to come, especially their first (home) game back in the Championship. We always knew it was going to be difficult. "With the key players we lost to injury last week, I thought we stood strong as a team and apart from one slack moment to give them the goal I thought some of our defending and players putting their bodies on the line was top class."

The rider, 22, was injured at 19:45 GMT on 19 December at the junction of Lily Hill Drive and Lily Hill Road in Bracknell. He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and died from his injuries on Tuesday. Thames Valley Police said the accident involved a silver Ford Puma and a black Lexmoto motorbike. The driver of the car was uninjured and the vehicle stopped at the scene. Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident.

Once again, it has been a summer when Britain's sporting stars have done so much to delight. In Rio, second place in the medal table, 20 years after the Atlanta Olympics saw the nation finish 36th. British athletes won 67 medals, more even than that giddy red, white and blue whirlwind in London four years ago. They won gold medals in 15 different sports, a wider spread than any other nation - sitting-down sports, as the old gag goes, but also face down in watersports, fighting sports, multi-sports and running sports. On horseback, on wheels, off springboards and on pommels. It has been a fortnight awash with not only first places but historical firsts. Never before has a Briton won a diving gold. Never before has a Briton won a gymnastics gold. Never before has any triathlete from anywhere retained an Olympic title. Such is the unprecedented nature of so much of it, the merely dramatic barely gets a look-in. Adam Peaty became the first British male to win a swimming gold in 28 years, but when Max Whitlock and the pairing of Jack Laugher and Chris Mears are breaking hoodoos that have stretched back 130 years, the comparison is rendered unfair. Media playback is not supported on this device This has been an Olympics when the cottage in Cheshire belonging to soon-to-be-married couple Laura Trott and Jason Kenny would have sat 13th in the medal table on its own in the aftermath of their spectacular deeds in the velodrome, above Spain, Jamaica, Kenya and Brazil. It has been a Games when a 58-year-old horse rider has won a gold, and a 16-year-old gymnast become a medallist. When Amy Tinkler was born, Nick Skelton was six months from retirement. Here he became his country's oldest Olympic gold medallist since 61-year-old Jerry Millner 108 years ago, at an Olympics Tinkler probably thinks he can remember first hand. With the freakish deeds came freakish stats; Skelton's triumph in the individual show jumping meant Britain's 57th medal had been won by a man born in 1957. With freakish stats came exceptional events: a penalty shootout was won, by the GB women's hockey team, when penalty shootouts are supposed to end only in tearful defeat. There were new heroes to salute: goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, kayak single 200m sprint king Liam Heath, sailor Giles Scott. There were old favourites to hail once again: Andy Murray, Charlotte Dujardin, Mo Farah. And that is only the Olympics, and a partial retelling of it too. Media playback is not supported on this device Murray won a second Wimbledon men's singles title that was ultimately almost more comfortable than it was nerve-wracking. Danny Willett became the first Briton to win the Masters in 20 years. And there are still four more months to come, weeks that will bring the Paralympics, a chance for the European team to hold the Ryder Cup for the ninth time in 11 stagings. What sets these achievements apart is the effect they have on

On Monday, the former England Under-20 international announced his retirement from professional football after failing to recover from injury. "I hope people remember me in terms of my playing career," the 29-year-old told BBC World Service Sport. Unfortunately for Samba, they won't. He came to fame after being popularised in the Championship Manager computer game, namely the 2001-02 edition. His potential stats made him a world beater in the game. Having started at Millwall in 2000, Samba's career took him to obscure clubs around Europe, including Haka in Finland, Panetolikos in Greece and Tonsberg of Norway, the club where he suffered his career-ending injury. He also had spells at Plymouth and Wrexham as well as winning four senior caps for The Gambia. "Funnily enough, I have never played Championship Manager myself," he said. "I wouldn't say it hindered my career, it is only a computer game. "It is up to the individual. Sometimes it can affect a person, sometimes it can't. I am a strong person and I don't think it affected me in any way. "It can have that impact on kids, though. We just need to be careful with people hyping them up." That hype surrounded another Championship Manager legend, Freddy Adu. He failed to realise his early potential. Signed by Nike in 2002 at the age 13, the American has now signed for his 13th professional club at the age of just 26. Samba's popularity made him a cult hero. Gamers spent hours on their PCs and laptops as virtual Samba fired in the goals to lead clubs to Premier League or Champions League glory. His reputation was such that it was summed up in a phone call to a mobile phone company. "I had to order a new phone from my network provider," he says. "I rang them up to get it ordered and was told to wait two to three months for it to arrive. I thought: 'No problem'. "The guy then asked my name and I said: 'Cherno Samba'. With surprise, he asked: 'The one from Championship Manager? You'll get it the next day'." Asked which achievement he wished he had experienced in real life, he said: "To win the World Cup for England. That would be the ultimate." Samba's own modest career may not be remembered, but his exploits on a computer screen will never be forgotten. You can hear more from Samba by listening to his interview on BBC Sportshour Andy Price: "He was the only player I wouldn't fine for not turning up to training because I felt it was his right to have a day off for being Cherno Samba." Scott Moule: "I played against him, Anton Ferdinand and Kieron Richardson in the London Boroughs' Ketchup Cup final at The Den 2000/2001, Blackheath v Tower Hamlets & Hackney. We lost 2-1. He scored both for them, if my memory serves me right!" Curtis Westcott: "What's that coming over the hill, it's Cherno Samba, Cherno Sambaaaaa. Never forget his goal in

The 26-year-old Scot was making her World Cup debut for Great Britain's cycling team in the race won by USA's Sarah Hammer. Evans was also part of the women's team pursuit, alongside Emily Kay, Emily Nelson and Manon Lloyd. The quartet missed out on a medal, finishing fifth in a time of four minutes 28.548 seconds. Evans later finished fourth in the points race, as Australia's Amy Cure took gold ahead of America's Sarah Hammer and Simona Frapporti of Italy. She missed out on a podium place by two points.

The move is a step forward for Beijing as it attempts to open up its financial markets and attract foreign capital. China's inclusion had been rejected for the past three years, amid worries about regulation and accessibility for global investors. MSCI is world's biggest stock index provider. The shares of 222 Chinese companies, known as A-shares, will be added to the Emerging Markets Index, though they will make up barely 0.7% of the index's value. Karishma Vaswani: China's MSCI inclusion is a game changer The MSCI Emerging Market Index currently has about $1.6 trillion tracking it. This means those investors (mainly investment funds) will be obliged to have part of their investment in the A-shares of selected Chinese firms. China's inclusion will have needed to support of many of these key investors. The fact they've given the nod indicates they now feel the way Chinese markets are run and regulated has sufficiently improved. "We view this announcement as an important milestone in the integration of China's equity markets with the rest of the world," said Jonathan Garner, chief Asia and emerging-market strategist at Morgan Stanley. Far from it. There are already several ways to invest directly in Chinese firms. Many Chinese companies have a dual listing, meaning they appear on both the Shanghai and Hong Kong markets. The Bank of China is one high-profile example. And you find Chinese firms listed on some foreign markets. US-traded Chinese businesses include the e-commerce giant Alibaba. And since late last year, foreign investors in Hong Kong have been able to trade shares in about 900 firms in companies on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and vice-versa following the official launch of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong trading link. That link followed the launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in November 2014, which allowed international investors to trade in hundreds of Shanghai-listed A-shares as well as Hong Kong stocks. China has the world's second biggest stock market and third biggest bond market. However, less than 2% of Chinese shares and bonds are held by foreigners. The Shanghai and Shenzhen initiatives mentioned above are one way Beijing has tried to make its markets more accessible to foreign money and, crucially, to build trust. The schemes had been "a pivotal part " in the MSCI inclusion said HSBC's head of Asia Pacific equities, Rakesh Patel. There are confidence issues China has had to overcome - and there is still a long way to go. The boom-and-bust nature of the markets over the past few years, with some high-profile crashes, has not helped the market's image. Nor has the ad hoc, and often heavy handed, government intervention. And there has also been the issue of individual stocks being suspended, often for long periods of time - though the frequency of this has been reduced said HSBCs Mr Patel. "China has been given a big tick in the box from the international investment community and the MSCI," according to Sean Taylor, Asia Pacific chief investment officer at Deutsche Asset Management.

The relatives will reportedly travel as a group to a point near the disaster in the mountainous terrain. Part of the crash site will remain closed off to everyone except the investigators and emergency workers tasked with clearing the area up. Besides the bewilderment, shock and grief, this group must have a long list of unanswered questions, especially following the announcement from officials that the plane was intentionally brought down by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz. Who was he? Why did he do it? How was it allowed to happen? Getting answers is probably more important than being close to the crash site, says Roderick Orner, a clinical psychologist who specialises in the immediate aftermath of trauma. "Having good communication is not going to take their distress away, but it makes it less of a burden to carry. The mind is all cluttered with these kind of questions but also what happens in the aftermath is people get into these hyper-aroused states, they are agitated. And you saw that after the Malaysia MH370 incident. "Those people were left in a suspended, agitated state, and then they just lost it. And in this situation people don't sleep and it just gets worse and worse." The best thing the relatives can do, Prof Orner says, is be in contact with other people. The relatives in the Alps are in a group, which should help, but this morning's news that their family members were seemingly killed on purpose will make recovery difficult. "Evidence from research tells us that trauma inflicted by other humans with intent is more difficult to come to terms with than, for example, natural disasters." Sabine Rau, a psychologist working for the city of Dusseldorf to support victims of the crash, told the BBC on Wednesday that she was focused on getting "the maximum amount of information" to relatives to give them certainty. "People know a plane has crashed, but they don't know what that means for them," Ms Rau said. "What does that mean for my family, for my child, my parents - that is the paramount question. What does it mean to me?" She described the opportunity for relatives to visit the crash site as "a wonderful option in a terrible, horrible situation", but she said that not everyone will want to take the offer up. Lufthansa, the owner of Germanwings, is paying for the relatives' trip and has said it will adapt to their needs. Those that have made the trip to Seyne-les-Alpes can either remain there or be flown back to Spain tonight. Taking relatives of victims to the scene of a disaster can be an effective form of treatment for shock and grief. Lars Weiseth, a professor at the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies, has organised trips for families to the site of an avalanche, the Asian Tsunami and the scene of a plane crash (the Linate Airport disaster in Milan in 2001). He was also the lead psychiatric advisor following the 2011

Refitted District Line carriages are being offered as an affordable way to replace ageing Pacer trains. Firm Vivarail, behind the plan, said it was in talks with rail operators competing for the northern franchise. The Rail Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) said it did not want second hand trains on the northern network. Pacer trains were built in the 1980s and were originally intended as a short-term solution to a shortage of rolling stock, but remain in use today. The London Underground trains designed in 1978 were heading for scrap but have been bought by the rolling stock manufacturer Vivarail. The company said the refurbished trains would be a "step forward" from the Pacer and were affordable because the body shells could be reused. Adrian Shooter, from Vivarail, said: "We're keeping the basic body shell to which will be added modern state of the art traction, braking equipment, engine and other transmission." Mr Shooter said the trains were a third cheaper than new ones and bringing them north would provide extra seats. He said they would work well on many routes, including services from Huddersfield to Leeds and Leeds to Morecambe. Micky Thompson, RMT regional organiser, said: "Why should people in the North be disbenefited by inheriting 35-year-old rolling stock. "If they want a modern railway that delivers what is supposed to do, let's see a level of investment the same that's emulated in the South of the country."

It broadcast purported recordings of telephone calls between former Qatari PM Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani and Wefaq leader Ali Salman, in which it claimed they agreed to an "escalation". The Bahraini public prosecutor has begun an investigation into the calls. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt cut links with Qatar in June. The four countries accuse the emirate of supporting terrorist groups and of being too close to Iran - allegations the emirate has vigorously denied. Qatar has condemned the land, sea and air restrictions put in place by its neighbours, which have forced it to import food by sea and air to meet the basic needs of its population of 2.7 million. The state-run Bahrain news agency reported that the purported telephone conversation between Sheikh Hamad and Ali Salman "included an agreement between the two speakers on... how to deal with the situation then so as to exacerbate it and undermine Bahrain's interests and stability". "This represents a crime of exchanging intelligence information with a foreign country to jeopardize the kingdom's national interests," it added. "The public prosecution will announce the outcome of the investigation as soon as it is over." There was no immediate comment from the Qatari authorities or from Sheikh Hamad, who stepped down as prime minister and foreign minister in 2013. But Wefaq said the television report was an attempt by the Bahraini government to smear it and prolong the imprisonment of its leader, who has been jailed since 2015. LuaLua TV cited a statement from the group explaining that Sheikh Hamad had spoken to Ali Salman as part of an attempt to resolve the political crisis in Bahrain that had "the direct approval of the king". "The call was followed by a meeting between the Qatari official and the Bahraini king at his palace in al-Safraia," it added. "Qatar was the sponsor of the American initiative presented by the US ambassador to Bahrain, Jeffrey Feltman, as part of mediation efforts between the government and the opposition, which refutes the regime's claims of Wefaq conspiring to overthrow the regime." Sunni-ruled Bahrain has been wracked by unrest since security forces crushed pro-democracy protests mainly led by the majority Shia community six years ago. The king brought in troops from neighbouring Sunni-led Gulf states to end the demonstrations and restore order. The unrest left 30 civilians and five police dead. Activists say dozens more people have been killed in clashes between protesters and security forces since then, while bomb attacks blamed on Shia militants allegedly backed by Iran have killed a number of policemen. Ali Salman was jailed in 2015 after being convicted of inciting hatred, promoting disobedience and insulting public institutions, while Wefaq was dissolved last year for allegedly fomenting sectarian unrest. Human rights activists said Ali Salman's trial was unfair and that the charges he faced violated his right to free expression. They also condemned the dissolution of Wefaq, saying officials had produced no evidence to support their allegations.

Stornoway High consulted on a split after the General Assembly voted last May for a proposal that would allow gay men and women to become ministers. The issue has caused divisions in some congregations, with opponents arguing that it goes against the word of God. About 100 people will continue to worship at Stornoway High on Lewis. The group of 250 includes the entire kirk session. The new Free Church congregation - who are without a minister - is worshipping in a primary school in Stornoway. Former Stornoway High session clerk Christopher Martin said: "We have always said we wanted to continue in a Presbyterian setting, and having looked at a number of possibilities it became clear that the most favourable and accommodating was to join the Free Church." He added: "Sadly our congregation could simply not identify with the general direction of the Church of Scotland is headed in, and the sensible option was to leave." Reverend David Meredith, a Free Church minister in Inverness and a former moderator, has been leading a working group set up to handle requests from congregations seeking to join the Free Church. He said: "The High fellowship is well known as a lively and forward looking group and we are delighted to welcome them into the denomination. "We are conscious that the process of disengagement from the Church of Scotland has been a painful experience for them but we hope we can offer a home which presents a Biblical vision for contemporary Scotland." The Church of Scotland said it was "saddened" by the group's decision to leave the Kirk. John Cunningham, interim session clerk at Stornoway High Church of Scotland and also Moderator of Presbytery of Lewis, said: "We still regard them as our brothers and sisters in Christ and wish them well in the path they have chosen. "Almost 100 will continue to worship in Stornoway High Church where services have been held since 1909. There is a sense of peace among those who remain." The Very Reverend David Arnott who is acting coordinator of the office of principal clerk in the Church of Scotland, added: "There is a sadness that these members have left but we are happy that they have found another home."

They then reached the last four with a tense 10-run win against Sri Lanka. "We've been under pressure in a couple of the wins we've had," said Bayliss. "Once you've been there and been able to get through tight games it gives you the belief that you are good enough to do it. "The more times you're in the situation the better for the long-term benefit of the team." England will be playing in Delhi for the third time in the tournament when they meet New Zealand in the city on Wednesday. "Having played two games there already, the players will know what to expect from the wicket," added Bayliss. "I wouldn't necessarily say it is an advantage. New Zealand are very adaptable and we are going to have to play some very good cricket to win this match but we will give it one hell of a go."

Roy was found to have "shown dissent at an umpire's decision" after being given out lbw for 42 in the 10-run victory that sealed England's place in the semi-finals. Willey, meanwhile, was fined for giving Milinda Siriwardana a send-off. Roy loses 30% of his match fee, with Willey losing 15% of his.

It predicted that prices would have to rise 1% between 2016 and 2020. That is on top of an increase of 5% it expects to have to make as a result of general wage inflation. The Living Wage means that the minimum wage will be set at £7.20 an hour for over-25s from April 2016, which is forecast to rise to £9.35 in 2020. The prediction came with Next's half year results - pre-tax profits came in at £347m, up 7% from the same period of 2014. Earlier in the year, the company's shares fell after it issued a cautious sales outlook, predicting they would grow between 1.5% and 5.5%. In the first half, total Next group sales were up 2.7% compared with the same period of 2014. On Wednesday, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) published some research into how far the National Living Wage (NLW) would offset the cuts in benefits and tax credits announced in the 2015 Budget. It found that families with someone in paid employment that are eligible for benefits or tax credits would lose an average of £750 a year as a result of the changes. The IFS estimates that this group of 8.4 million working-age households will gain an average of £200 a year from the NLW. It says this is an optimistic estimate because it assumes that the NLW will have no effect on GDP, employment or the number of hours worked. Those averages also mask the differences in effects on different income groups. The IFS estimated that households in lower income groups would lose more as a result of the tax credit and benefit changes but gain less as a result of the NLW.

The credit card provider said it took almost $600m (£370m) in after-tax charges in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company said that these charges would halve its net profit for the quarter from $1.2bn to $637m. It said the majority of the job losses would be in its travel business, which is being "fundamentally reinvented as a result of the digital revolution". American Express said it was having to adapt parts of the business as more customers make payments online or via mobile. It added that the job losses would be spread proportionally between the US and international markets. The charges include restructuring costs of $287m mostly related to redundancy payments, $212m for Membership Rewards expenses and $95m for card member reimbursements In the fourth quarter, spending by card members was 8% higher than a year ago, the company said, "despite a brief dip in late October/early November reflecting the impact of Hurricane Sandy on consumers and businesses in the north-eastern United States". Total revenues rose 5% on the year to $8.1bn. "Against the backdrop of an uneven economic recovery, these restructuring initiatives are designed to make American Express more nimble, more efficient and more effective in using our resources to drive growth," said chief executive Kenneth Chenault. "For the next two years, our aim is to hold annual operating expense increases to less than 3%. The overall restructuring programme will put us in a better position as we seek to deliver strong results for shareholders and to maintain marketing and promotion investments at about 9% of revenues," he said.

The case was brought by the country's Green Party after its leader was targeted by a false account. The court said postings not just in Austria but worldwide must be deleted. Facebook has not yet commented. The ruling is seen as a victory for campaigners who want to make social media platforms combat online trolling. The appeals court in Vienna ruled that postings against Greens' leader Eva Glawischnig as any verbatim repostings should be removed. It added that merely blocking the messages in Austria without removing them for users abroad was not sufficient. The court said it was easy for Facebook to automate this process. A Green lawmaker, Dieter Brosz, said Facebook could no longer claim it was just a platform and needed to take responsibility for tackling hate postings. Internet giants including Facebook, Twitter and Google have all come under fire in many countries for failing to remove hate speech from their platforms promptly. Last month, German ministers approved plans to fine social media firms up to 50m euros ($53.3m; £42.7m) if they fail to remove hate speech and fake news quickly. The companies have recently announced measures to address the issue:

Josephine Camley, from Springburn, was hit by a northbound Skoda Octavia in the area's Springburn Road at about 19:30 on Wednesday. She was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where she died on Thursday. The male taxi driver was not injured. Police have appealed for witnesses to the incident to get in touch.

But in the aftermath of a bitterly contested presidential election, the rifts laid bare by that campaign have refused to close - one nation under God, perhaps, but one riven with division. And it is not only adults who have noticed. Children across America have been writing letters to President-elect Donald Trump calling for kindness, compassion and unity. Molly Spence Sahebjami, a mother from Seattle, started the campaign with a Facebook group. Launched the day after Mr Trump's victory, the private group's membership has now swelled to more than 10,000. The idea was sparked following a conversation with her own young son, a kindergarten student, she told the Washington Post. After her son expressed concern about some of the comments Trump has made about Muslims - Molly and her family have relatives of Iranian descent - she encouraged him to write to the President-elect. "Why don't you talk to him about why it's important to be kind?" the Washington Post reports her as asking him. Now, children from across the world have followed suit and their parents have been sharing the images on social media using the hashtag #KidsLettersToTrump. Alison and her son Tommy, 9, followed the election closely from the UK. "We encourage him to make up his own mind about things," Alison told the BBC. "As a thoughtful, kind young boy he has been upset by some of the language and views he has heard during the election. "His letter is in his own words and the drawing his own expression of what he hopes from his new president." Lara and her family live in Texas. Her 13-year-old daughter decided to write a letter to Mr Trump the day after his election. "She had a lot of questions about why someone would vote for him despite how he spoke about women, minorities and the disabled," Lara said. "I didn't have a lot of answers for that question other than to say that people felt strongly that he would do a better job running the country. "I tried to explain to her that just because we had different opinions about how to run the country did not mean that we did not support the country and wish him success. "I suggested that she write down her feelings. She chose to put them in a letter and she blew me away." Campaign organiser Molly said: "I set up the page because where I live, and among many of my Facebook friends from across the country, there's a very prevalent feeling among kids that Trump is 'the mean man' and they were confused about why he won." She hopes that children from all sides of the political spectrum will write positive letters to Mr Trump. "We're also encouraging kids who are Trump supporters to submit letters if they'd like to congratulate him and give him some advice about being more kind. Nobody's perfect and I think that aside from politics and policies, we can all agree that our new President-elect needs

Ben Robinson, 14, from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, died after suffering concussion in the match in 2011. He was in several heavy tackles before collapsing near the end of the game. A coroner found that his death was caused by "second impact syndrome". He said it was "probably" the first such case in the UK. The summons, issued at Belfast High Court, also named Carrickfergus Grammar School, Ulster Rugby, the teenager's rugby coach and the match referee. In a statement, the family said the summons was for "negligence regarding concussive-type injuries" and "their failures in their duty of care owed to Benjamin". The statement alleges that during the match "there were numerous opportunities for those in charge to notice that Benjamin had sustained several concussive-type head injuries". It added: "It is the case of Benjamin's parents and family that Carrickfergus Grammar School, the IRFU, the Ulster Branch of the IRFU and World Rugby were in charge of disseminating information with regard to the risks of concussion in rugby and therefore, the coach of the schoolboy rugby team and the referee should have been aware or should have had the means of being aware that concussion is dangerous and could result in death." The statement also said that the family's legal team had "gathered further evidence to confirm that Benjamin's death was due to second impact syndrome and was preventable". It added that "proceedings are well advanced".

The impact on its Northern Ireland operations is not clear. The company said it "will be evaluating the impact on our Belfast operations" and it could not "elaborate further at this point in time." It is already in the process of axing 1,080 posts in Northern Ireland, about 20% of its workforce in the region. The Montreal-headquartered company said on Friday it will cut about 7,500 jobs globally, with about two-thirds of those in its railway division. The rest of the cuts will be made in the aerospace part of its business - with consequences in Belfast. The trade union, Unite, said it was "deeply concerned." Spokesman Davy Thompson said: "We will work over the coming period to minimise any potential job-losses and if necessary we will strive to deliver the best possible outcome for those affected. "We can only hope the announcement will mean the company is better positioned to achieve long-term growth and safeguard future employment." Mr Hamilton said the announcement "will come as a great shock to the Northern Ireland workforce". He added: "We will do absolutely everything we can and take every opportunity to highlight to senior decision makers in the company the strength of Bombardier's Northern Ireland operations and the skills of the workforce. "I will do everything I can to fight to save as many Bombardier jobs in Northern Ireland as possible." However, Bombardier's chief executive officer Alain Bellemare said the firm will will also add jobs in some areas of its manufacturing business, including the C Series and Global 7000 business jet. Both of those jets provide employment in Belfast. "There will be a significant offset in our resizing," he told the Bloomberg news agency. Asked for more details, Mr Bellemare said the company would probably look to hire more than 3,750 employees for "major" programs, but was not specific about locations.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 29-year-old former Manchester United star was named world player of the year 11 months ago. "Thank you BBC for choosing me and to my old fans in England. Thank you very much," said Ronaldo, who has scored 281 goals in 267 matches for Real. He won the award ahead of tennis player Serena Williams, boxer Floyd Mayweather and MotoGP rider Marc Marquez. Ronaldo, who has scored 27 hat-tricks for Real, netted 17 goals in last season's Champions League, breaking the previous record of 14 held by Jose Altafini and Lionel Messi. He is only the second footballer to win the award since this century, after Brazil striker Ronaldo in 2002.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Welsh region dominated, but met with tough resistance before claiming a fourth try in the 50th minute. Steff Evans, Aaron Shingler and Tom Williams claimed first-half tries with Tom Price, Will Boyde and a penalty try following after the break. Mattia Bellini claimed Zebre's touchdown early in the match. Fly-half Dan Jones was on target five times and Aled Thomas once as all six Scarlets tries were converted. Evans was playing for the first time in four weeks after being released from the Wales Six Nations squad and caught the eye with a number of jinking runs. But industrious second-row Tadhg Beirne was named man of the match after a tireless display. Scarlets started like a team intent on the bonus point, but their high-risk policy was hampered by handling errors. As a result they were leading by just seven points after a dominant opening 20 minutes with only Evans' 12th-minute touchdown to show for their territory and possession. They were rocked when a sweet backs' move saw Bellini rock the home team with a touchdown for the visitors from a set-piece in the 24th minute. But order was restored before the interval when Shingler - making his 150th appearance for the region - and Williams crossed to open a 14-point margin. The Italian side remained stubborn until Price charged over from close range, with a penalty try from an attacking scrum and Boyde's opportunist score completing the scoring. Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac: "We'll bank the five points first and foremost, job done in that respect and the other one was to get through without too many knocks and apart from Emyr Phillips we look okay. "It wasn't pretty at times, in the first half we should have scored more points but we were happy to get that bonus point early in the second half. "We definitely left a few out there, I think guys were definitely a bit over-eager at times, but the effort was there and I think Tadhg Beirne epitomised that."

Kane Robinson and Richard Graham used the Dancing Jesus site to share music, often before its official release. The website allowed members to post tens of thousands of illegal links to music which they had uploaded. Robinson, 26, of North Shields, was sentenced to 32 months, while Graham, 22, from Leicestershire, was jailed for 21 months at Newcastle Crown Court. The British Phonographic Society (BPI) said it began investigating the men in 2010, along with the City of London Police and the US Department of Homeland Security. The BPI, which represents the UK music industry, said the site had posted links to more than 250,000 individual tracks between 2006 and 2011. Graham, from Broughton Astley, and Robinson, of Wyndham Way, both admitted the illegal distribution of music at previous hearings. Speaking after sentencing, the director of BPI's Copyright Protection Unit, David Wood, said: "Piracy - particularly pre-release - can make or break an artist's career, and can determine whether a record label is able to invest in that crucial second or third album. "In this day and age, with so many quality digital music services available offering access to millions of tracks through free and premium tiers, there is no good reason to use pirate sites that give nothing back to artists and offer a substandard experience for consumers. "Speaking as a music fan, it just doesn't make sense to help criminals when you can support artists."

At the same time, the US Department of Labor said the unemployment rate dropped to a seven-year low of 5.4%, down from 5.5% in March. Big job gains in the service sector helped to offset weakness in mining, Investors welcomed the report, sending shares broadly higher on Wall Street. Many see the report as a sign of solid strength in the economy. The total was a big improvement on March's payroll figures, which were revised to show a gain of just 85,000 jobs. Experts blamed such factors as the exceptionally cold winter in the north-east of the country for weighing on hiring in March. April's report also showed gains in employees' wages, with average hourly earnings up 2.2% from the same period last year. That was a smaller rise than many market watchers expected. However, it could provide a boost to US consumer spending, a key driver of the US economy. Investors are paying close attention to all figures to check that the US recovery is maintaining momentum. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates later this year if the economy continues to improve. Benchmark lending rates are currently close to zero.

Reuters reports the world's largest oil exporter was aiming to raise up to $8bn, but high demand led the Finance Ministry to increase the amount. It is the first time it has gone to the international markets since the early 1990s when Iraq invaded Kuwait. The country's oil income, its main source of revenue, fell 23% last year. The loan, which is expected to be finalised at the end of the month, will help Saudi to reduce its reliance on domestic banks and gauge international demand for its debt. It could also open the way for Saudi to issue an international bond. The move comes just days after a meeting of the world's leading oil exporters to discuss capping production ended without agreement. Saudi Arabia appeared willing to only freeze output if all Opec members agreed, including Iran. But Iran maintained it would continue the increase in oil production it has followed since economic sanctions were lifted earlier this year. The oil price has fallen almost two thirds since June 2014, driven by a combination of oversupply and competition from US shale oil producers. Saudi Arabia's budget deficit soared to $98bn (£65.7bn) last year on the back of falling crude prices. To help make up for the shortfall, the country has cut public spending and increased tax, fuel and energy prices. Saudi Arabia is not the only Gulf country to seek help from abroad due to the low oil price. Earlier this year Qatar secured a $5.5bn loan, while Oman borrowed $1bn from overseas. The Saudi central bank did not reply to requests for comment.

Taha Hussain, 21, from Slough is on trial accused of nine counts of disseminating terror documents via smart phone apps including WhatsApp. The Old Bailey heard he became increasingly extreme in the two years before his arrest in August last year. The defendant denies all the charges against him. Mr Hussain is also charged with one count of encouraging terrorism through posts on Twitter. When police seized his mobile phone, they found the black flag of IS on his screen saver and his PIN number was 9117 - in apparent homage to the 9/11 and 7/7 terror attacks, the court heard. Prosecutor Mark Paltenghi told jurors on Thursday: "It may be that this is a combination of the dates of two of the most significant acts of terrorism this century - the attacks upon the Twin Towers in New York and other targets in America on September 11, 2001, and part of the date of the London bombings on July 7, 2005." Over 11 months, Mr Hussain is accused of distributing YouTube videos and audio files on topics including Charlie Hebdo and bombings in Britain and the US as well as a copy of an IS magazine. Mr Paltenghi said: "In essence, it is alleged that when all this material was sent it was done with the intention that it would be understood by its recipients as a direct or indirect encouragement to the commission, instigation or preparation of acts of terrorism." The trial continues.

ITV's The Secret tells the story of convicted killer Colin Howell and Hazel Buchanan who killed their spouses and kept the deaths secret for 18 years. The programme has been criticised by the daughter of one of the victims, saying it had left her traumatised. A Labour Party MP raised the matter in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Howell and Buchanan are serving jail sentences over the murders of Trevor Buchanan and Lesley Howell, whose bodies were found in a fume-filled car in Castlerock 25 years ago. Police believed at the time that they had died in a suicide pact, but Howell handed himself in in 2009, admitting that he had gassed the pair with Buchanan's help. Sheffield MP Louise Haigh said the victims' families were reliving the pain of their loved ones' killings as a result of the drama. She added that "victims' voices should have a far greater role" in determining whether or not programmes based on real-life events should be made. Lauren Bradford, a daughter of Lesley Howell, wrote an opinion piece in the Guardian after the first episode of The Secret was broadcast, saying its makers "trivialise the reality of these events and dehumanise the impact that it has on those involved". She added that victims' families needed to have more rights "over their 'story' and the narrative of their loved ones". Mr Cameron said he would discuss the programme with Culture Secretary John Whittingdale to see if there is anything "more that can be done" in similar cases. Actor James Nesbitt plays Howell in the drama, based on a book by journalist Deric Henderson that details the murders and the years that followed. In a statement, an ITV spokesperson said the scripts for the programme were based on an "exhaustively researched" book by a "highly respected journalist" and that extensive additional research had been carried out. They said the families of both victims were informed of the production and given an opportunity to see it in advance of broadcast. "ITV has a proud record of broadcasting award-winning factual dramas, based on or representing real events and people. These include Hillsborough, Bloody Sunday, The Murder of Stephen Lawrence, Appropriate Adult, Code of A Killer, The Widower, and The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies", the spokesperson said. "We have never suggested that they (the families) approved or authorised the drama. We do believe that we have conducted the making and broadcast of this series responsibly, in seeking to minimise distress to family members, in so far as we were able to do so, given the subject matter."

Defender Vermijl, on loan from Sheffield Wednesday, scored from inside the box after Josh Brownhill's eighth-minute shot had been blocked. It was enough to condemn the Hornets to a first defeat this season. Watford debutant Miguel Britos received a straight red card with 15 minutes left for an elbow on Bailey Wright. Media playback is not supported on this device With Saturday's trip to leaders Manchester City in mind, the Hornets made 11 changes to the side that started Sunday's 0-0 draw with Southampton. But Quique Sanchez Flores' understudies failed to impress as Preston sealed a deserved win. Watford finally began to exert some pressure as the second half wore on, but Britos's dismissal after the Uruguayan had gone up for a corner halted the Hornets' momentum, and Preston were able to see out the final 15 minutes with relative ease. They came close to adding to their lead when former Watford striker Joe Garner saw a long-range effort deflected narrowly wide.

He is the first person convicted by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) to be executed. The ICT was set up in 2010 to investigate abuses committed during the 1971 conflict. Mullah was a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. At his trial earlier this year, he was described by prosecutors as the "Butcher of Mirpur", a suburb of Dhaka where he is alleged to have carried out his crimes. These included the massacre of unarmed civilians and the killing of intellectuals who supported independence from Pakistan. By Anbarasan Ethirajan BBC News There was a lot of drama in Dhaka before the execution of Abdul Kader Mullah. His family members met him for a final time late on Thursday. It appeared the government rushed through the execution after days of legal wrangling. The execution is likely to trigger further tensions in Bangladesh. Mr Mullah's party said the death sentence was politically motivated and there would be dire consequences if it went ahead. Bangladesh's major Western partners will view the execution with concern. Supporters of the trial would say this is a historic moment as it came just days before Bangladesh's victory day on 16 December. But many are concerned that this could polarise the country further. Mullah always denied the charges. Four other leading figures in Jamaat-e-Islami have also been convicted by the ICT and face the death penalty. The execution of Abdul Kader Mullah took place at Dhaka Central Jail at 22:01 local time (16:01 GMT) on Thursday evening, officials announced. His family were allowed a final meeting with the 65-year-old and found him "calm". "He told us that he is proud to be a martyr for the cause of the Islamic movement in the country," his son, Hasan Jamil, told the AFP after the meeting. Hundreds of people gathered in central Dhaka to celebrate the news of his death. But Jamaat-e-Islami - which has warned it will avenge his death - called for a general strike on Sunday. Security has been tightened in Dhaka and around the country amid fears the execution is likely to inflame tensions. At least three people are reported to have died on Thursday in sporadic clashes between Jamaat-e-Islami supporters and security forces. Hanging risks derailing elections Bangladesh broke away from Pakistan 42 years ago after a war which saw killings on a mass scale, the exodus of more than 10 million refugees and military intervention by neighbouring India. The government set up the special court to deal with those accused of collaborating with Pakistani forces who attempted to stop East Pakistan, as Bangladesh was then, from becoming an independent country. The two wings of Pakistan were held together mostly by a shared religion. While many Bangladeshis have welcomed the work of the ICT, Jamaat supporters say it is a politically-motivated attempt to eradicate its leaders. Human rights groups have also expressed concern that the special court falls short of international standards. UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay had written to the Bangladeshi authorities urging

One force, West Mercia, saw the equivalent of more than five call-outs a day to homes in 2014-15, the Howard League for Penal Reform found. It said children were being wrongly "criminalised" because staff often called the police over minor incidents. But the Independent Children's Homes Association said homes were "rigorously inspected" and staff well-trained. The majority of children legally defined as "looked after" in England and Wales are placed in foster care, but in 2014, some 5,220 were living in residential care homes. The Howard League's findings included: The report also highlighted Department for Education figures which show a 13 to 15-year-old in a home is almost 20 times more likely to have contact with police than a child living with their family. Taken together, the Howard League said it was clear children living in children's homes were "being criminalised at excessively high rates". Staff are calling police too frequently, often over minor incidents that would never come to officers' attention if they happened in family homes, the charity said. "There appears to be a 'tipping point' around the age of 13, at which time these children lose society's sympathy and, rather than being helped, they are pushed into the criminal justice system," the report added. Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League, said: "They are wonderful young people who have had a really bad start in life. "Private companies, charities and local authorities that are paid a fortune by the taxpayer should give these children what they need and deserve." The report also said: Figures from different forces are not directly comparable because some include call-outs for missing or absent children, while others only relate to reports of criminal behaviour. Children's homes are also not evenly distributed across the country, and West Mercia Police pointed out that its area contained more than any other force in England. It said in a statement: "We work closely with partner agencies and each reported incident is carefully managed on a case-by-case basis. Police work with care homes and children exploring alternatives including restorative justice." Restorative justice enables victims to meet or communicate with offenders to explain the real impact of the crime. A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Clearly there are times when an arrest is the most appropriate course of action when a serious offence has occurred and the suspect is a child; however for more minor incidents we utilise a variety of resolutions rather than an arrest." Jonathan Stanley, from the Independent Children's Homes Association, said children's homes were "the most scrutinised and accountable service for young people". "It seems that what is being reported here is history. Police and children's homes work closely together and meet regularly in local areas," he said. "That's not to say there aren't some particular issues but this needs real life, detailed evidence in order for them to be understood." Olivia Pinkney and Nick Ephgrave, from the National Police Chiefs' Council, said police "should not be called to minor incidents which would

Mr Reid, 75, has served in the Senate for almost 30 years, including as Senate majority and minority leader. The Nevada senator said in video statement his retirement was not related to a recent accident nor to the Democrats losing control of the Senate. "I want to be able to go out at the top of my game," Mr Reid told the New York Times. Among those likely to replace Mr Reid in the leadership position are Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and New York Senator Chuck Schumer. The Nevada senator, a former amateur boxer, first came to Congress as a Representative in 1983. He was elected Senate majority leader when Democrats took control of the chamber in 2007. Mr Reid injured his eye and ribs when he fell in an exercise accident on 1 January. The senator said recuperating had given him to time "ponder and to think" about his political future. He told the New York Times he had been contemplating possible retirement for months. In his statement, he vowed to keep fighting for his party for his remaining 22 months in office. "We have to make sure that the Democrats take control of the Senate again," Mr Reid said, adding he felt it was "inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources" when it could be used on other elections. Mr Reid had a tough re-election fight in 2010 and could have faced another in 2016. He also issued a warning to Republicans, telling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "don't be too elated" because there are still 22 months to go.

Retired officers and staff were presented with the special award at Eynsham Hall in Oxfordshire by Chief Constable Sara Thornton. It marked their work on the inquiry after thieves stole more than ??2.5m from a night mail train in August 1963. Ms Thornton said they had never really been recognised before. It was at 03:00 BST on 8 August that the train travelling between Glasgow and London Euston was stopped by a gang of thieves between Linslade and Cheddington. They broke into the High Value Package coach and made off with 120 mailbags weighing about two and a half tonnes stuffed with ??2.6m in used banknotes (about ??41m in today's money). Former Thames Valley Police officers receiving the award included Aylesbury detective Keith Milner, who was in charge of exhibits during the investigation, and John Woolley, who discovered the gang's abandoned hideout. Ms Thornton created the award especially for the anniversary and presented the framed certificate to officers in front of Police and Crime Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld and current serving officers. Witness: The Great Train Robbery "What's struck me is that the focus is always on the offenders who committed the notorious crime," she said. "I wanted to balance that by recognising police officers and staff from 50 years ago who helped us solve [the case]. "I think also, for some of them, their work was never really recognised so they really do appreciate us taking time out to say 'well done and thank you'." Thames Valley Police also recognised the anniversary on Thursday by tweeting from 03:03 BST, to mark the time the train was brought to a halt, and from 04:26 BST started real time tweets of the original call log. Later this year, exhibitions marking the crime will also go on display in the county. Media coverage, maps, photos and memorabilia relating to the crime can be seen on 25 August at Brill's Sports and Social Club, in Brill, a village near to where the gang's abandoned hideout at Leatherslade Farm was found. Organisers said their intention was "not to celebrate or glorify, but to inform and educate". The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton will put on an exhibition in September.

Vaccination was introduced in 2008 for UK girls, to immunise them against the virus that causes cervical cancer. The agency says its review does not question that the benefits of vaccination outweighs any risk. It will focus on rare reports of two things - complex regional pain syndrome and a condition where standing up causes dizziness and rapid heart rate. Both these conditions can occur in non-vaccinated individuals, and "it is considered important to further review if the number of cases reported with HPV vaccine is greater than would be expected", says the EMA. Based on this review, it will decide whether to recommend any changes to product information to better inform patients and healthcare professionals. While the review is ongoing, there is no change in recommendations for the use of HPV vaccines. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common, mainly sexually transmitted infection. Dr Sarah Branch, Deputy Director Of Vigilance and Risk Management of Medicines at the UK's drug regulatory body, the MHRA, said: "More than eight million doses of HPV vaccine have been given in the UK, with close to 90% of eligible teenagers vaccinated. With this very high level of vaccine uptake, such reports are to be expected. But the vaccine isn't necessarily the cause and coincidental illness is a factor." The MHRA says it has been notified about 12 cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and 10 cases of complex regional pain syndrome.

Two people tried to enter the property in Ashmead Road, Deptford, in an attempt to rescue the pair but were unable to reach them. Fire crews arrived at the house shortly after 21:30 GMT and later found the bodies of a woman in her 80s and a man in his 60s. The Metropolitan Police said it was investigating the cause of the blaze. London Fire Brigade station manager Lee Sparks, who was at the scene, said: "Neighbours alerted the brigade when they saw smoke coming from the house. "Two members of the public entered the house in an attempt to rescue the occupants but were unable to reach them. "These two people were treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service." A police spokesman said officers believed they knew the identities of the dead, but were awaiting formal identification and confirmation that next of kin had been informed.

The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services said £20.8bn was expected to be spent on care this year, a cash rise of 5% since last year. It follows a £1bn cash injection announced in the Budget which ministers said would relieve the pressures. But ADASS said £824m of savings were still having to be made. The group, which represents social care directors, said rising demand meant cuts were inevitable given the current funding levels. The warning comes after ADASS surveyed 151 council care chiefs about their plans for 2017-18. The polling suggested councils would spend £14.2bn of their own money, rising to £20.8bn when the £1bn cash injection - money from the NHS for care projects and the fees users are asked to contribute - are taken into account. ADASS said care chiefs could make some of the savings through improved efficiency, but added those using services - whether in their own homes or in care homes - should still expect those services to be rationed even more. Over 1m people rely on council care services, two-thirds of them older people. ADASS said the cuts could mean people being denied help, given shorter visits or fewer options for support. The council chiefs also predicted user charges would also rise in places. Care providers - the companies that run care homes and home care services - were also told to expect their fees to be squeezed. Nearly three-quarters of directors of adult social services said they were pessimistic about the future of the system. It comes after years of cuts - since 2010 over £6bn of savings have had to be made. ADASS president Margaret Wilcox said the system remained on a "cliff edge". "The need for a long-term solution has never been more urgent or vital," she added. The verdict comes as doubts remain about the government's intentions for social care. During the election campaign, the Conservative party indicated it wanted to raise more through charges by always taking into account the value of people's homes when working out what they should contribute towards their care. The policy proved controversial though, being dubbed a dementia tax. Ministers have subsequently distanced themselves from it and promised a fresh consultation on reform. In the meantime, an extra £2bn is being invested in social care - £1bn this year and another £1bn spread over the following two. On top of this, councils have been given permission to increase council tax to pay for care. Nearly all are doing that this year with seven in 10 councils raising it by the maximum of 3%. A Department of Health spokesman said ministers were aware changes were needed to "put social care on a more secure financial footing" and that was why a green paper would be set out in the near future. Mark Atkinson, of disability charity Scope, said cuts to services had a terrible impact on the vulnerable as it meant they "do not receive the care they need to do the basics

The company also said it had secured additional funds from shareholders and was close to announcing its biggest ever investment. The news came just ahead of a midnight deadline for the renewal of its Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) licence. Last weekend Monarch was forced to deny "negative speculation" about its financial health. It has struggled under intense competition and a fall in demand for holidays in Turkey and Egypt. A Monarch spokesman told the BBC that all flights on Saturday were flying as normal. The company operates 130-140 outbound and inbound flights a day, and passengers had been expressing concern on social media about whether all those flights would take place. There are more than 100,000 Monarch holiday-makers overseas at the moment. The airline employs about 2,800 staff and is based at Luton Airport. The 12-day reprieve has been welcomed by Brian Strutton, general secretary of the pilots' union Balpa, who said the uncertainty had been lifted "which is good news for the pilots, crew, staff and customers". He added: "Although the Monarch licence has been extended temporarily for 12 days, my understanding is this will be sufficient to satisfy the regulator that long-term funding is secure and details of this will emerge over the next few days." Monarch is protected by the CAA's Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Atol) scheme - the scheme that refunds customers if a travel firm collapses, and ensures they are not stranded. But for the licence to be renewed, allowing Monarch to continue to sell package holidays, the company had to prove it was financially robust. The company has been majority owned by Greybull Capital since 2014, when the investment firm bought a 90% stake in the airline. Greybull has now put extra funds into the airline, enabling the CAA to grant a temporary extension to the airline's licence until 12 October. By that time Monarch is confident it will have secured the "largest investment in its 48-year history". Chief executive Andrew Swaffield said he was "excited about the additional capital coming into the group which will help us fund our future growth". It is believed that some of the money will be used to proceed with an order for 30 Boeing aircraft. In its statement, the CAA said it was able to extend the licence "by requiring the shareholder to provide additional funding and because customers' money will be protected". "Monarch now has 12 days to satisfy the CAA that the group is able to meet the requirements for a full Atol licence. "Monarch will remain Atol licensed until this extension expires. The CAA always advises consumers to ensure they book Atol-protected air holidays and consumers who choose to book an Atol-protected flight or holiday with the company during this time will continue to be protected by the Atol scheme." Monarch says Atol offers consumers security "where a flight and accommodation have been booked together, some flights booked separately and applies in certain other circumstances". Earlier this year Greybull bought a division of Tata

The government of the western state of Maharashtra has announced a memorial for the cartoonist, who was cremated with state honours. Laxman died in hospital of multiple-organ failure, aged 94, on Monday. He was renowned for chronicling Indian daily life and politics. His daily cartoon appeared in The Times of India for more than 50 years. He was best known for his iconic "Common Man" character, an eight-foot-tall bronze statue of which was unveiled in Pune in December 2001. "Laxman was not just a cartoonist. What he said through his cartoons will inspire future governments. Though he is no more, the Common Man he created will live forever," Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, while announcing the memorial for the cartoonist. Top political leaders and media personalities attended the cremation. By Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent Laxman's daily cartoon in Times of India was known for lampooning political leaders, sparing no-one. One of those caricatured by Laxman, former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, surprised the cartoonist by ringing him up, not to complain, but to request a signed copy of the cartoon to frame. In 2005, the government honoured Laxman with the Indian civilian award Padma Vibhushan. The youngest of six sons, Laxman began drawing as a boy but was turned down to study at Bombay's prestigious Sir JJ School of Art because, it said, he lacked talent. He began working as a cartoonist in the 1940s, working for The Times of India from 1947 just as the country gained independence from Britain.

They're are also battling a number of smaller fires. Around 250 homes have been evacuated, but up to 750 are at risk. The blaze has already destroyed 100 square miles of forest, but so far no-one's been hurt and no houses have been damaged. The fire was sparked by lightning in mid-August.

I've been to Downing Street, where Y Ddraig Goch was flying above Number 10 and David Cameron hosted a reception fuelled by Welsh produce from chocolate to Welshcakes. Entertainment was provided by Only Boys Aloud. "Croeso i Stryd Downing," as the prime minister put it before admitting "the only other Welsh I was taught was insults to throw at English rugby fans". There was the obligatory references to the current Six Nations championship and forthcoming clash between Wales and England ("the only winner will be the game of rugby") although he curiously omitted any reference to Euro 2016, the first major championship for which the Welsh football team has qualified since 1958. Perhaps it was sensitivity about European issues, although the prime minister did touch on the other European issue in June - the EU referendum. "When I look at what Wales gets out of membership of the European Union, when I think of the advantage having that market of 500 million people on your doorstep, when I think of the regional support and assistance that Wales has had from the European Union, when I think of the support that goes into brilliant Welsh universities, when I think of the strength that Wales gets from those things I have no hesitation in saying we're better off in a reformed European Union." There was a reference to Aston Martin's decision to come to south Wales - David Cameron was an early enthusiast for the project. "We're going to have the James Bond car built in Wales," he said. "All we need now is a Welsh James Bond. That is the next step. I always say to the secretary of state, he looks a bit like Russell Crowe so where else do we need to go?" A smiling Mr Crabb appeared shaken not stirred.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed the Spaniards were in talks over signing the 24-year-old Spurs forward. "The rumours that anything is imminent are not true," said Villas-Boas. "We allowed ourselves conversations with Real Madrid, confirmed by their coach - I think wrongly. "But the only thing we've communicated is that the player is not for sale." He added: "Carlo is a person I appreciate a lot and we have great respect for each other but, bearing in mind this situation, they have decided to make it public. "Normally, situations like this in England are scrutinised by the Football Association with lots of care and attention. We have seen lots of people speaking about a player that is not theirs and we are due some respect." Villas-Boas was speaking following his side's 5-2 defeat by Monaco in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. Wales international Bale did not travel with the rest of the Tottenham squad for the game in the French principality. Former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow, who has been around the Real Madrid camp in Los Angeles this week, said he expects Bale to join the Bernabeu club. He told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme: "The mood was very much one of confidence and expectation that Bale would go." However, despite Bale also indicating to Spurs that he wants to speak to Real about a move, Villas-Boas insists he is planning for the 2013-14 season with Bale, who scored 26 goals last season, in his plans. Media playback is not supported on this device "We are looking towards the future with Gareth," said Villas-Boas. "In football anything is possible but what we've communicated so far is that we are not willing to concede to their [Real Madrid's] interest in the player." Bale played the first half of Tottenham's pre-season friendly against Swindon on 16 July but not played since as the White Hart Lane club continue their build-up to the Premier League campaign. "He picked up a pain in his foot from his individual training so he's recovered from the [earlier] injury he had to his gluteus," explained Villas-Boas. "The medical department has examined him and given the red light to his involvement, so we can't have him training or playing at this moment."

Aleena Kauser was walking in Rawtenstall when she was hit by one of two cars travelling at more than 60mph (96km/h) in a 30mph zone. Adil Manir, 20, has already admitted causing her death by dangerous driving. Mohsem Saddique, 23, denied the same charge but has been found guilty at Burnley Crown Court. Aleena was walking on a pavement with her mother along Bacup Road to a mosque when she was struck by Manir's Audi A5 on 18 September 2015. She was airlifted to the Royal Blackburn Hospital after the crash but later died. The prosecution said Saddique was tailgating Manir in a Volkswagen Golf immediately before the collision and there was only 6ft (2m) between the cars as they drove at speeds between 55mph and 64mph. Saddique and Manir, both of Rossendale, are due to be sentenced at the court on 19 December. Speaking after the hearing, Det Insp Mark Haworth-Oates said the "tragic incident" had had a "devastating impact on Aleena's family and the wider community". He said: "I'm sure that when Saddique and Manir set out they had no intention of hurting anyone, but their actions showed a complete disregard for the safety of other road users and pedestrians. "The irresponsible and dangerous way in which they raced their vehicles in a built up area at a busy time of day has led to the worst possible outcome."

Police intervened to calm the incident in Bonifacio, local media reported. Staff and pupils at French schools are banned from wearing religious symbols - but parents are not. Tensions between Muslims and other locals have been simmering in southern France, particularly after a jihadist in a lorry murdered 86 people in Nice. Monday's incident in Bonifacio took place as children returned to school after the summer holiday. The parents who blocked the women said they were unhappy because their children were reprimanded if staff saw their Christian crosses. Tensions have been simmering in southern France and Corsica, especially following the jihadist massacre of 86 people by a lorry driver on the seafront at Nice on 14 July. Up to 30 towns and villages imposed bans on women wearing full-body swimsuits known as "burkinis" but the top French court has since said the action breaches basic freedoms. Last month two villagers and three men of North African origin were hurt in a brawl on a beach in the Corsican village of Sisco. The local prosecutor said the three North African men, from a nearby town , had wanted the beach for themselves. The Islamic veil across Europe Why do some people find the burkini offensive? France, where the separation of state and religion is enshrined in law, introduced in 2004 a series of bans on overt religious symbols in various public and state-run places. In May a top EU court adviser said EU employers may be able to ban Muslim staff from wearing headscarves to work as long as it was part of a general prohibition on all religious symbols. The full-face Islamic veil, or niqab, has been banned in public places in France since 2011.

The 29-year-old, previously linked with a move to Norwich City, has agreed a four-year contract after Villa had a bid accepted on Wednesday. McCormack, who has never played in the Premier League, joined Fulham in 2014 from Leeds United for a reported £11m. He went on to score 38 league goals in 89 appearances for the Whites, and has also been capped 13 times by Scotland. Villa say the deal equals the second-highest fee the club has paid in their history - matching the sum invested to bring Stewart Downing from Middlesbrough in 2009. The £18m paid to Sunderland in January 2011 for former England striker Darren Bent remains the club record. "He is a player whose goalscoring record has been excellent everywhere he has been and we feel he can be an important addition," said manager Roberto di Matteo.

Broudie Jackson Canter (BJC) Solicitors said Theresa May should send a team in to examine the force "root and branch". The force has been criticised after the Hillsborough inquests concluded the 96 victims were unlawfully killed and there were police failings. Mrs May said she would help the force "confront the mistakes of the past". A statement from BJC said the families were "appalled to see the shambles in South Yorkshire Police" following the conclusion of the Hillsborough inquests on Tuesday and said a team from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) should be sent in to "speak to the rank and file and see what they think is wrong in the force and what needs to be done". "We believe there needs to be a rigorous and continuing examination of the ethical behaviour of the force at every level. "The force's motto is 'Justice with Courage' - sadly they have shown neither." The secretary of state has the power to direct a police authority to apply remedial measures. A team from HMIC would first examine the force and decide what action needed to be taken. South Yorkshire Police's Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings said: "I spoke with the home secretary yesterday... She is going to be helpful to [the force] - and that may involve the College of Policing and other bodies which are being referred to." Mrs May said: "I understand entirely the families' disappointment in South Yorkshire Police's response. As I told the House on Wednesday, the force must recognise the truth and be willing to accept it. "The decision to hire and fire a chief officer is a matter for the Police and Crime Commissioner, in order to ensure direct accountability to the communities served by the force. "The current PCC, Alan Billings, has taken a decision to suspend the chief constable and I understand that a process is under way to find temporary leadership while his replacement is found. "I stand ready to support that process, and to help South Yorkshire Police confront the mistakes of the past and regain the confidence of their community." Former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Sir Peter Fahy said there should be "greater national oversight" when filling the top job within forces. Sir Peter said: "Under the system of police and crime commissioners, it's solely down to the police and crime commissioner to make that (chief constable) selection. "I personally think there should be greater national oversight and more movement between police forces. "How can a local person perhaps see what is the talent across 43 police forces and beyond? That's part of the difficulty. "What you need is more movement between police forces so that you do get fresh blood in, so you don't get the sort of entrenched view and overall there's been less movement between forces." The call for an official examination of South Yorkshire Police is the latest development in a torrid week for the force. Following the inquests, Chief Constable David Crompton

1. The original Daleks: The original Daleks were controlled from the inside by short operators who had to manipulate their eyestalks, domes and arms, as well as flashing the lights on their heads in sync with the actor's voices. John Scott Martin, one of the original Dalek operators, once said: "If you were related to an octopus then it helped!" 2. Title sequences: There have been around 12 different title sequences. The theme music was originally composed by Ron Grainer and created by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Since then there have been a vast variety of remixes of the theme music. Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) even got up on stage at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival to perform a version of the music with the band Orbital. 3. Home: The Doctor has visited many different planets, but his home planet is called Gallifrey. 4. Medical doctor: The Doctor actually is a doctor! In a sickbay in the 1967 story The Moonbase, the Doctor was asked, "Listen, are you really a medical doctor?" He replied, "Yes, I think I was once, Polly. I think I took a degree once in Glasgow. 1888 I think. Lister." 5. Bow ties: "Bow ties are cool" - that's what Matt Smith said in his first appearance as the Doctor. Bow tie sales shot up by 94% within a month at one high street store! 6. Gadgets: The Doctor has an array of gadgets, including the sonic screwdriver - which has many uses including the ability to unlock almost anything - and the psychic paper, which can bamboozle people into seeing whatever the user wants them to see printed on it. 7. Red Nose Day: In 1999, a four-episode special of Doctor Who called The Curse of Fatal Death was made for Red Nose Day. It featured big name stars such as Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and Joanna Lumley as The Doctor. 8. Regeneration: The regeneration effect, used for when one Doctor changes into the next one, was created at the end of the first series by accident! A faulty mixing desk allowed the image of William Hartnell (the first Doctor) to be overexposed almost to white so that Patrick Troughton (the second Doctor) could be put in his place before the effect faded again. 9. Multiple Doctors: The 50th anniversary episode will not be the first time more than one Doctor will have appeared in the same episode. For the show's 20th anniversary, a feature-length special called The Five Doctors was created, featuring the first five Doctors. 10. Doctor's real name: The Doctor's real name remains a complete mystery to all but a very small number of individuals including The Master, River Song and Clara Oswald. 11. Sherlock-tor Who? The character of the Doctor was partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Comparisons have been made between the Doctor and the fictional detective. In fact both the fourth and eleventh Doctors have dressed up as Sherlock Holmes

Cyber Iconic Man by the Chapman brothers, two of Britain's more hard-hitting contemporary artists, is in the cathedral's Chapel of the Holy Spirit. Works by Maurizio Cattelan and Turner Prize winners Douglas Gordon and Susan Philipsz are also in the cathedral. It is one of five venues showing works loaned by leading European collectors. The Church of England cathedral has joined museums and galleries in staging Going Public, a collaboration between the city's venues and private art collectors from the UK, Italy, Germany and France. The works in the cathedral have been loaned by the Turin-based Sandretto Re Rebaudengo collection. They include a large tapestry showing drowning African migrants, the Twin Towers and the G20 leaders, by former Turner Prize nominee Goshka Macuga, which is hanging in the nave. The Chapman brothers' work dates from 1996 and shows a figure turned upside down, with blood-like liquid running from his scars. The Very Reverend Peter Bradley, dean of Sheffield Cathedral, said: "A lot of classic religious art shows images of really rather frightening violence, [such as] the crucifixion. But we don't notice that because we don't actually see it as violence. We see it purely as an illustration of a story. "Some of these artworks invite us to reflect on violence, and violence in a religious context, in a new way, and that's strong, certainly." The cathedral is showing 10 artworks in total. Dean Bradley said he had asked for pieces that "have quite a punch", so they were not "overwhelmed by the building". He said he had already had some "very interesting discussions" about the artworks with members of the congregation. He said: "Some people think they're fabulous. Some people don't like them. Some people have an open mind. "There are people who complain about our Christmas tree every year, so there will be people who don't like it. Some of that will be a reasoned dislike, which is well worth investigating and we take very seriously. "Some of it will be [saying], 'The cathedral shouldn't engage with this.' What we won't take seriously is not engaging with contemporary culture, because that's what we're there for. "We're not here as a historic artefact. We're here as a contemporary Christian community engaging with the reality of contemporary British society." Going Public is also taking place at the Graves Gallery, which is showing a collection of Marcel Duchamp works and archives, as well as Site Gallery, the Millennium Gallery and Sheffield Hallam's University's Institute of the Arts. The aim of the project is to forge relationships with private collectors and philanthropists at a time when public arts funding is under threat, according to Museums Sheffield chief executive Kim Streets. "I hope we can develop a longer term relationship from this particular group [of collectors] and that will enable us to bring other work to the city in the future," she said. "And putting philanthropy in the spotlight will, we hope, make other introductions and begin a slightly wider conversation. "We need to

The plan envisages greater co-ordination in areas like EU-led peacekeeping missions outside the bloc. However, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini stressed that the bloc did not intend to compete with Nato or create a European army. She added that the plan was under consideration before Donald Trump's victory in US presidential elections. During the campaign, Mr Trump suggested that Washington may not automatically come to the aid of a Nato ally under attack, criticising low levels of defence spending by some EU members of the military alliance. The defence plan was agreed at a meeting of EU defence and foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday. "This is a qualitative leap in the European Union's security and defence," Ms Mogherini told reporters, while French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that "Europe needs to be able to act for its own security". Ms Mogherini said the EU would not be competing with Nato but rather would strengthen the alliance, and nor would it be creating an EU army or a military headquarters. What it would seek to do is to provide far-greater co-ordination in areas like peacekeeping missions to African countries, naval efforts to reduce refugee flows, and defence spending and research by EU countries on items like drones and helicopters, she said. The aim of all of these was to make both the EU and its citizens safer at home and abroad in an uncertain world, Ms Mogherini added. The EU action plan has been a year in the making, conceived after last year's Paris attacks left Europeans feeling vulnerable, the BBC's Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports. But it has been given added impetus by Mr Trump's warnings that he expects Europe to pay more of the bills for its own defence, our correspondent adds. He says that Brexit has also boosted the plan, because the UK has traditionally blocked such Franco-German initiatives to give the EU a greater security dimension.

Farc commander Pastor Alape said the rebel known as Jairo Martinez had died in the attack in Cauca province. According to the Farc, Jairo Martinez had been on an "educational mission" to tell rebels about the peace process. The Farc and the Colombian government sides are engaged in peace negotiations but have not agreed a ceasefire. Jairo Martinez was a relatively recent addition to the Farc negotiating team, which he joined on 28 February 2014. Not much is known about him except that the Colombian military suspected him of being behind the kidnapping of Sgt Pablo Moncayo. Sgt Moncayo was held for 12 years by the Farc before being released in 2010. His father Gustavo had campaigned tirelessly for his release, walking the length and breadth of Colombia with chains tied around his wrists to symbolise Sgt Moncayo's captivity. The rebels said Jairo Martinez was one of 27 rebels who died in Gaupi in south-western Cauca province. The Farc also confirmed that the commander of the 14th division of the Farc, Roman Ruiz, was killed in a bombing raid in north-western Choco province on Monday. There has been a recent escalation of violence on both sides even as the peace talks continue in the Cuban capital, Havana. The escalation was triggered by a Farc ambush which left 11 soldiers dead on 15 April. President Juan Manuel Santos responded by ordering the resumption of bombing raids on rebel positions which had been suspended since March to reward the rebels for declaring a unilateral ceasefire. About 40 Farc rebels have been killed since the security forces resumed their raids. Nevertheless, the two sides are continuing to meet in Havana in an attempt to put an end to more than five decades of armed conflict. An estimated 220,000 people have keen killed since the Farc was founded in 1964.

Snowdonia Pumped Hydro (SPH) need a licence to discharge water into a lake at Llanberis as part of the plans. But Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said it had not been provided with enough information about the scheme. SPH said plans for the power project are continuing, and it was "not concerned" by the permit development. "As a developer we expect there to be bumps in the road on the way," said the head of SPH, Dave Holmes. Plans for the 99.9MWe hydro plant at the former Glyn Rhonwy quarries in Llanberis are currently being considered by the UK Planning Inspectorate. Under the proposals, water would be released from reservoirs above the quarries to generate electricity at peak times, and later pumped back up from quarry ponds. As part of the plans, there are contingencies for water to be discharged into Llyn Padarn if necessary. The project sparked controversy earlier this year when opponents voiced disputed claims that the site may have been contaminated by chemicals used in World War Two bombs stored nearby. "Llyn Padarn is a vitally important natural asset for the area," said Dylan Williams, operations manager for NRW. "We only issue an environmental permit if we are wholly satisfied that a company's plans prove it will operate safely, without harming the environment or local communities. "However, the applicant has not provided us with enough information to be able to make that decision and has withdrawn its applications." But developer SPH said it understood the key concern had been the fact a main contractor to construct the power plant had not yet been agreed. "But we are not concerned by this development," said Mr Holmes. "We will resubmit the permit application when we have appointed the principal constructor." The company said it remained in discussions with NRW, and had already been issued with other environmental permits, including for water abstraction and for dealing with bats in the area.

The 26-year-old defender was out of contract following the club's title-winning season but has joined keeper Paul Farman in signing a new deal. He started 44 of Lincoln's 46 league games as they clinched the championship with a further seven appearances in their FA Cup run to the quarter-finals. Waterfall, who joined from Wrexham in June 2015, also scored seven goals.

Judge Carlos Castro Martins barred any work that would interfere with the natural flow of the Xingu river. He ruled in favour of a fisheries group which argued that the Belo Monte dam would affect local fish stocks and could harm indigenous families who make a living from fishing. The government says the dam is crucial to meeting growing energy needs. Judge Martins barred the Norte Energia company behind the project from "building a port, using explosives, installing dikes, building canals and any other infrastructure work that would interfere with the natural flow of the Xingu river, thereby affecting local fish stocks". Legal battle He said the building of canals and dikes could have negative repercussions for river communities living off small-scale fishing. The judge said building work currently underway on accommodation blocks for the project's many workers could continue as it would not interfere with the flow of the river. The consortium behind the project is expected to appeal against the decision. In June, the Brazilian environment agency backed the construction, dismissing concerns by environmentalists and indigenous groups who argue that it will harm the world's largest tropical rainforest and displace tens of thousands of people. The agency, Ibama, said the dam had been subjected to "robust analysis" of its impact on the environment. The 11,000-megawatt dam would be the third biggest in the world - after the Three Gorges in China and Itaipu, which is jointly run by Brazil and Paraguay.

Owen Hathway, from the NUT, said it had asked the Welsh Government to delay implementing the changes which require teachers to learn new skills. The Welsh Government said all the reforms it was working on were connected and that must be recognised. The NUT's annual conference is taking place in Cardiff until Tuesday. It is intended for the new curriculum to be fully up and running by 2021. But a committee of AMs said in February there were difficulties putting the new curriculum, proposed by Prof Graham Donaldson, into practice. According to the National Education Workforce Survey published last week, 38.6% of school teachers and 71% of supply teachers who responded were either not at all familiar or not very familiar with Prof Donaldson's report and recommendations. Mr Hathway, the NUT's Wales policy officer, said: "Clearly a significant proportion of teachers are unaware of the recommendations. Feedback we've had does echo that survey. "The teaching profession itself is very much on board with what Prof Donaldson put forward, but I think there's a sense we are moving there too quickly. "What it's asking teachers to do is change their mindset from being micro-managed to a situation where they're being told to be innovative, creative and flexible. "It's a good thing, but it's a different skill set and they haven't necessarily equipped the teaching profession to deliver the curriculum as it's going to be. "We don't want to rush into it, schools and teachers are unprepared for it. "Getting it right is better than doing it right now." A spokesman for the Welsh Government said: "The education workforce is playing a central role in designing the future of the curriculum and education system as well as, for example, contributing to the new Professional Teaching Standards. "It is important to recognise that all the reforms that we are currently working on are connected." Mr Hathway added the divergence of education between England and Wales was on the agenda for the annual conference, reflecting the fact a new curriculum is being brought in. "It's becoming a situation where you can no longer compare the two education systems," he said. "The challenge is how we support our members against that backdrop."

The hole is three metres deep and as long as a minibus! It was caused by heavy rain washing away a drain running under part of Traigh Golf Course, near Mallaig. The golf club says repairing the damage will cost about £16,000. At the moment the sinkhole has been fenced off so members can still enjoy the golf course. The club says it may have to raise thousands of pounds to help fix the damage.

Welsh ministers created the Syrian Refugee Taskforce to deal with people arriving in Wales under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme. The Welsh Refugee Council told BBC Wales the group should expand to deal with around 3,000 asylum seekers and refugees already in Wales. Ministers said they were consulting on plans to help all seeking sanctuary. The taskforce met in Cardiff on Thursday to discuss healthcare, education and housing provision for refugees. The first Syrians to arrive in the UK as part of the VPR scheme, which is run by the Home Office, landed in Glasgow on Tuesday. The Welsh Refugee Council said about 40 were likely to come to Wales in December. First Minister Carwyn Jones has previously suggested between 500 and 600 could be settled in Wales over the next five years, based on the UK taking 10,000. With up to 20,000 refugees now expected, Wales' share is likely to be around 1,000. Hannah Wharf, from the Welsh Refugee Council, said the Welsh government's political response to refugees's needs was too narrow. "We need that response to expand to include all asylum seekers and refugees living and arriving in Wales," she said. "What we're going to end up with is a two-tier system, where a lot of resources and strategic oversight goes in to responding to the needs of people through the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme. "What we don't want is to forget about the higher numbers and the very complex needs of the existing asylum seeker and refugee population". One man who came from Syria to Cardiff in September, who has been left homeless while waiting for his asylum claim to be processed, said: "I don't have anything to support myself. "I'm just going from place to place to the charities to feed myself. "It's made me feel I'm not welcome." Speaking after the taskforce meeting, Communities Minister Lesley Griffiths said all 22 councils were willing to resettle Syrian refugees, but she believed only around four were actually ready to do so. "It's very important we don't set any of them up to fail," she said. She rejected the call to expand the taskforce, saying it was specific to the VPR scheme and that other measures were being explored to help asylum seekers and refugees already in Wales. Earlier, the Welsh government said it was consulting on its Refugee and Asylum Seeker Delivery Plan, "to reflect on the wider lessons of the current crisis and ensure the plan matches today's changing circumstances".

The Canadian indie band is the first act announced for the festival, which was under threat of being cancelled. The band were recommended to the event's organisers by music legend David Bowie. It will be their first UK festival performance since 2014. The four-day festival at Seaclose Park, Newport will run from 8-11 June. The band will be following previous Isle of Wight headliners that have included Queen and The Who. John Giddings, Isle of Wight Festival promoter, said: "I'm so happy to have secured Arcade Fire as our first headliner. David Bowie recommended them and I've been a fan ever since. Last year was incredible and I'm ready for us to come back even better." Made up of husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne along with Win's brother William Butler, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara, the band will take to the stage on 10 June. Arcade Fire's music reached number one in the UK charts after the release of their fourth album Reflektor three years ago. The band also received an Academy award nomination after being featured in the film Her in 2013.

Media playback is not supported on this device Spurs finished in the top three of the Premier League in both of the past two seasons but it is more than nine years since they won a major trophy. England right-back Walker, 27, has joined City for an initial £45m. "I am hoping with the world-class players we have here that we will go and lift a trophy, which is what I want to do in my career," he told BBC Sport. Spurs reached the FA Cup semi-finals last season but lost to Chelsea, who also beat their London rivals in the 2015 League Cup final. Tottenham's last major trophy is the League Cup they won in 2008. Walker, who moved to White Hart Lane in 2009, said: "Sometimes we were unlucky. Sometimes we just didn't have that little bit of edge." Walker has moved north in a deal which could earn Spurs £50m, which would match the world record fee for a defender - Paris St-Germain's signing of David Luiz from Chelsea in 2014. Walker accepts it is a large sum of money. He said: "It is a big fee but it is nothing to do with me. "I needed a new challenge. This would have been my ninth season at Tottenham. Sometimes you need to come out of your comfort zone a little bit." Walker praised Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino for the impact he has had on his career, but is excited about working for former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola. He said: "His name says it all. He worked with Dani Alves and all the top players at Barcelona, plus Philipp Lahm at Bayern Munich. "It was an opportunity I could not turn down."

The moves came after an emergency eurozone leaders' summit in Brussels. The eurozone had asked Greece to submit fresh plans after its voters rejected a draft bailout in a referendum. But Greece brought no written plans, suggesting instead a few changes to an earlier draft, which would respect "the mandate of the referendum". On Sunday a meeting of all 28 members of the European Union will be held. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the eurozone leaders had a "serious, candid discussion" in Brussels that "reflected the seriousness of the situation at hand". She said the leaders "obviously respect the results of the referendum" but also had a "shared responsibility" for the European Union. Italian PM Matteo Renzi said Greek PM Alexis Tsipras was acting in good faith to provide sensible proposals to stave off the debt crisis.

Police had been called to the junction between Tottenham Green and Tynemouth Road at 17:15 BST over reports of several youths fighting with weapons. They found the boy, who is believed to be aged 17, with critical knife injuries. He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. Scotland Yard said officers were in the process of informing next of kin and have appealed for witnesses. A spokesperson added the murder is not being linked to terrorism.

Glorious in the afternoon sun, it is as remote a spot as you will find on Anglesey - itself one of the remotest parts of Wales. Its isolation and distance from the political hubs in Westminster and Cardiff go some way to explaining how the people of this island tend to plough their own political furrow. The ebb and flow of political party support on the mainland does not necessarily lap against Anglesey's shores - a candidate's personality can count for far more than the colour of their rosette. As a result, the Ynys Mon seat, formerly known as Anglesey, has been won by four different parties since the World War Two, and this year's battle is tipped as one to watch. On a wet, miserable Monday morning, I meet Albert Owen in a cafe in his home town of Holyhead. He is the incumbent, having held the seat for Labour since 2001. Although every sitting MP here who has sought re-election since 1955 has succeeded, the Everton football fan, far from facing an open goal on June 8, is defending a slender majority of 229 votes. "I'm finding it a lot better than the 2015 election, if I'm absolutely honest with you," he tells me over a cup of tea. "But I've been written off in 2005, '10, and '15 and now in 2017. I'm not in any way dismissing the fact that there is bad polling but I don't think that people want a Conservative landslide victory." I ask Mr Owen whether people raise Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the party on the doorstep. "Yes, they do. And it's plus and a minus. If you listen to some of the broadcasting, you'd think it's all negative. It's not," he says. "There are some people who always say we've got the wrong Labour leader - I had it with Blair, I had it with Brown, I had it with Miliband, and I'm getting it with Corbyn." From our window seat we see a ferry from Dublin arrive to dock in Holyhead port - a reminder of the particular issues facing the island as the UK prepares to negotiate Brexit. "We are now a gateway to the European Union. Once the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, we will be the gateway to the Republic of Ireland," Mr Owen says. "I don't think the prime minister quite gets it. She's talking about the hard border between north and south Ireland, but I'm concerned about Welsh ports and no additional tariffs." Of the five candidates standing for Ynys Mon in this election, only the UKIP contender backed Brexit, whereas Anglesey as a whole went for a leave vote by the smallest of margins - 50.9% for leave, 49.1% for remain. A 40 minute drive to the opposite end of the island, I meet Albert Owen's predecessor in a chilli shop in Beaumaris. After sampling the "bird's eye chilli" - never again - Ieuan Wyn Jones, a former Plaid Cymru MP (1987-2001) and

The Wales centre is one of eight internationals coach Wayne Pivac will give first pre-season outings. Davies rejoined Scarlets after two years with Clermont and will play a week after seeing his brother James win a silver medal at the Rio Olympics. "I'm looking forward to it, he's a great player coming back," said fellow centre Scott Williams. Davies' return to the Scarlets on a dual contract with the Welsh Rugby Union was heralded as a key signing for the game in Wales as well as the region. The 2013 British and Irish Lion is one of a number of players opting to either return from playing in England and France or to stay in Wales. As well as being a boost for the domestic game, it means tough competition for places in the Scarlets midfield with player-of-the-season Hadleigh Parkes, Gareth Owen and Steffan Hughes also in the mix. Williams, who missed most of the 2015-16 domestic season with a knee injury he suffered playing in Wales' World Cup win over England, welcomes the competition. "I think Jonathan is enjoying it back here with the boys - it's our second week in now so we've been straight back in the mix," he added. "You want competition in positions it keeps you all on your toes and brings out the best in you. "Last season maybe that's what we didn't have, just that strength in depth when some one got injured we didn't have someone with a bit of experience to come in. "This year we can chop and change and if someone is carrying a knock we've got as-good a player to come in and fill that position." Scarlets were beaten 45-3 by Exeter in their first pre-season friendly, but coach Pivac says the team to play Bath is being picked with their opening Pro12 game against Munster on 3 September. He confirmed Williams and Davies will both play against Bath, along with Ken Owens, Jake Ball, John Barclay, Gareth Davies, Aled Davies and Liam Williams. Pivac added that Jonathan Davies' recent return from Rio was not a concern because he resumed pre-season training before the other internationals in the squad. "Jonathan came in a week earlier than the others and put in some solid work," he said. "Those players won't be playing the entire game, it's about being smart and easing them into it. "They've had a big break and they're in a bit of catch-up mode so we don't have a lot of pre-season matches so it's important they get a run." The game against Bath is the Scarlets' final friendly before the Pro12 season kicks-off.

The West Mercia and Warwickshire forces handed over all weapons seized over the last two years. They will be used to build a sculpture of an angel, with each knife forming a feather in its wings. The British Ironworks Centre plans to find 100,000 knives to complete the statue, expected to stand 20ft high. Sculptor Alfie Bradley said he hoped it would be completed by the autumn. In all, some 10,000 weapons have been donated so far. "There's no uniformity, so it's going to be a complete collage of knives," Clive Knowles, managing director of the British Ironworks Centre, said. "There are a lot of what were clearly originally kitchen knives, but there have also been flick knives, razor-type knives, garrotting wires, homemade knives and ones made in prison from door bolts. "One flick knife was disguised as a lighter and another two were designed to fit inside a fake mobile phone. "I think you're going to look at the sculpture and realise how many knives there are on the streets of the UK. That's going to be the really shocking thing." Mr Knowles said the Save A Life, Surrender Your Knife campaign was receiving regular deliveries from the Metropolitan Police, while knives were also being donated by the Lancashire and West Yorkshire forces later this month. He said the sculpture would be the only national memorial of its kind and councils in Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham had already offered to provide a permanent home for it.

Crimes were not being recorded, said a report by the Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate. It also said too many investigations were poorly run and failed to give victims legal protection. Police and prosecution chiefs have pledged to improve performance. Stalking and harassment cases were often misunderstood, despite powers being available to protect victims, the inspectors said. The report also said police officers would fail to recognise repeated signs of a stalker, by treating each complaint in isolation rather than being part of a pattern. That, in turn, meant police and prosecutors did not see the bigger picture and appreciate the full scale of the harm being suffered by the victim. According to a report on the authorities' response to stalking, victims have faced stalking and harassment in their homes, at work, and on social media. It says one threat made to a victim stated that: "I will stay in your life forever... I will make sure nothing in your life or your family's ever runs smoothly". One victim told a researcher: "And it got to the point where I actually said to me mum one night that 'Do you know what? I'm going to be a story in the newspaper. I'm going to be another one of these girls that gets murdered by her ex'." A female bank employee told police that a male stranger kept visiting her at work, leaving gifts and following her after she finished work, to a bus stop - he had acted in a similar way with the victim's colleague. The employee was transferred to another bank branch, but the man tracked her down. She then confronted him, and he became angry. Police did not arrest or interview the man, but instead issued him with a Police Information Notice - a protection order designed to help prevent this type of offence. But the report said PINs were misused and did not cover all types of offences. Wendy Williams, who led the inspection for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, said: "Police forces must act quickly to protect victims, including survivors of domestic abuse leaving coercive or controlling relationships. "It is not acceptable that victims and their families are left to live in fear. "While we found some evidence that the police and CPS understand the risks of the repeat behaviours... we found worrying failings at every stage, including reporting, investigation and prosecution. Changes need to be made immediately." The report calls for: One procedure used to warn a suspect that they would be prosecuted if they do not stop harassing a victim was found to be so misused that the inspectors said it should be scrapped. They also warned that a proposed court order to protect victims of stalking would not help victims of harassment, such as people fleeing domestic violence. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust, which runs the National Stalking Helpline, said the failures identified in the report were unacceptable. And Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said she would introduce

Uber, which allows users to book and pay for a cab through a smartphone app, is used by some two million Londoners. The test case centres around whether the drivers can be considered workers or, as Uber argues, as self-employed. The two legal definitions are accorded different employment rights. Workers are given similar rights to employees in that they are entitled to holiday pay, are protected from unlawful deductions from their pay and may be entitled to sickness pay. This is the first time that Uber will have faced legal action in the UK over whether their drivers are workers or self-employed. The two test cases, which will determine a further 17 claims against the firm, are being brought by law firm Leigh Day on behalf of the GMB union. It argues Uber does not currently ensure its drivers are paid the minimum wage or that they receive paid holiday. From the tribunal: John Moylan, BBC Employment correspondent This test cases involves two drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam. On the first day of the tribunal case David Reade QC, acting for Uber, sought to demonstrate that Mr Farrar was self-employed as he can choose when he works. "I don't believe I have a free choice" Mr Farrar said. "I consider Uber work as my job." Mr Farrar also insisted that his pay was often lower than the national minimum wage. In a witness statement he said that Uber claimed it paid him £13.77 on an average hourly basis, based upon the hours he was logged on to its driver's app. But Mr Farrar insisted that his net earnings in August 2015 after expenses amounted to just £5.03 an hour. David Reade QC suggested that during that period Mr Farrar had cancelled a high number of jobs sent by Uber. But Mr Farrar denied this, claiming that the number of jobs he did per hour had been in line with Uber's recommendation. "I don't see that I lost any money," he said. "I worked as hard as I could". The union also says Uber does not provide its drivers with the rights normally afforded to employees, claiming instead that they are "partners". Uber has always maintained that its drivers are self-employed and as such are able to work as little or often as they wish. Justin Bowden, national secretary of the GMB union, told the BBC: "The issue here is not about taking away the flexibility… but the high degree of control that Uber exercises over their drivers. "You either have employment laws that people have to follow or you don't." Mr Bowden said the GMB union wanted to ensure that Uber drivers had the same employment rights as everyone else. Uber's rise has been meteoric. In just six years it has ballooned from a tiny start up to a £50bn company spanning 450 cities across 70 countries. But it's not been an altogether easy ride. This is the latest in a series of legal challenges about the way it

"The fall upon the bloom, will always flower in spring," he wistfully recites, like William Wordsworth via David Attenborough. "But, he doesn't need your number one." It sounds like a crazed fever dream or maybe something out of a Terry Gilliam movie, but it's comes from the wonderful world of online campaign videos for the Republic of Ireland's general election. The election has produced a bumper crop of bizarre clips aimed at pushing candidates all the way into the Irish parliament by way of a screaming viral hit. Irish people will go to the polls this week after a whirlwind campaign period following Taoiseach (prime minister) Enda Kenny's announcement of the election at the beginning of February. Since then the internet has been flooded with videos featuring everything from musical numbers to Hollywood spoofs, with candidates keen to fight the election battle online as much as on the doorsteps. The clip described above stars Father Joe McGrath, who cryptically urges the people of County Longford to vote for independent candidate James Morgan. The video is an quirky slice of viral-ready electioneering: Fr McGrath dances, he references Ancient Greeks and that's all before he's presented amongst the bushes. Another example is from Fine Gael parliamentary member Martin Heydon, whose special effects extravaganza makes Father Joe's effort look like something out of the silent era. The County Kildare candidate's three-minute promo is a full-blown Back to the Future parody, with Mr Heydon getting accosted by 'Doc Brown' who arrives in a DeLorean. "Quick Marty, you've got to come with me," he cries. "The future of Kildare South and the country depends on it." In this alternative timeline, it isn't Biff Tannen and his sports almanac threatening the future but the possibility Mr Heydon won't be re-elected. Meanwhile, Doc Brown is less concerned with getting plutonium to fuel the DeLorean's flux capacitor than getting a ring road built so he can get up to 88mph. Mr Heydon's blockbuster style clip isn't the only cinematic effort filmed for the election. Social Democrat candidate Gary Gannon's video, for example, flexes some directorial muscle by featuring an unbroken long take through the streets of Dublin. Other efforts, however, are considerably more rough and ready though no less creative. Some TDs, such as independent candidates Richard O'Donoghue and Michael Healy-Rae, have looked to hit the right notes with musical numbers. This glut of social media electioneering is a "new phenomenon that has emerged in the digital age", said Dr Jane Suiter, a senior lecturer on politics and media at Dublin City University. "Looking at the last election in 2011, that was expected to be the social media election," she said. "But, it was still very much about knocking on doors. "By-elections since then have seen much more social media being used, and more again now." According to Dr Suiter, Ireland has been heavily influenced by the political advertisements freely shown on US television - but there are elements that makes these clips unique to the Republic. "These

Graham Deaves, 65, said The Horn in St Albans told him he and Norman Hughan, 82, and Nick Mepham, 49, could no longer take part. He said pub staff claimed some people were not doing the quiz any more because "the old guys kept winning", the St Albans Review first reported. A pub spokesman said it had "asked them to take a break". More on this and other stories from Hertfordshire The trio, known by their team name Storming Norman, started going to the Monday night quiz last May when the pub they normally went to was being refurbished. Since then, they said, they have missed only one quiz and have won 11 times. Mr Deaves, from Dunstable, said when he and his friends, who both live in Luton, arrived for one of the quizzes the licensee spoke to them. "He said he had met with people who no longer came to the quiz who told him it was because the old guys keep winning," he said. "He said 'you're banned from the quiz, my mind's made up and there's no discussion'. "We feel aggrieved as we've been banned from the quiz when there could have been a number of other ways of dealing with our success." The owner of The Horn, which is a renowned music venue, said the team had been winning on a regular basis, attendance had halved and some people were becoming "disgruntled". Adrian Bell said a handicap system had been introduced but the team were still winning. "We told them politely it might be good if they could take a break to let the quiz get up and running again," he said. "They said this had happened to them before and they were fine about it." At The Horn, winners are rewarded with a first prize of a £40 bar tab, those who come second get a bottle of wine, while those in third place can claim a packet of crisps. However, there is also an extra rollover prize each week made up from the £2 entry fee - the first person to the bar with the written answers to three tricky question wins. Mr Deaves said since the ban in February the team now went to a quiz at the King Harry pub in St Albans, where they had been "made to feel very welcome". "But all we've managed so far is three third places and a second," he said.

The proposed Skylon vehicle would do the job of a big rocket but operate like an airliner, taking off and landing at a conventional runway. The European Space Agency's propulsion experts have assessed the details of the concept and found no showstoppers. They want the next phase of development to include a ground demonstration of its key innovation - its Sabre engine. This power unit is designed to breathe oxygen from the air in the early phases of flight - just like jet engines - before switching to full rocket mode as the Skylon vehicle climbs out of the atmosphere. It is the spaceplane's "single-stage-to-orbit" operation and its re-usability that make Skylon such an enticing prospect and one that could substantially reduce the cost of space activity, say its proponents. The UK Space Agency (UKSA) had commissioned Esa to evaluate the design, and the European organisation's staff reported on Tuesday that they had not seen any obvious flaws. "Esa has not identified any critical topics that would prevent a successful development of the engine," they write in their review. Skylon has been in development in the UK in various guises for nearly 30 years. It is an evolution of an idea first pursued by British Aerospace and Rolls Royce in the 1980s. That concept, known as Hotol, did have technical weaknesses that eventually led the aerospace companies to end their involvement. But the engineers behind the project continued to refine their thinking and they are now working independently on a much-updated vehicle in a company called Reaction Engines Limited (REL). Realising the Sabre propulsion system is essential to the success of the project. The engine would burn hydrogen and oxygen to provide thrust - but in the lower atmosphere this oxygen would be taken directly from the air. This means the 84m-long spaceplane can fly lighter from the outset with a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, enabling it to make a single leap to orbit, rather than using and dumping propellant stages on the ascent - as is the case with current expendable rockets. But flying an integrated air-breathing and rocket engine brings unique challenges. At high speeds, Sabre would have to manage 1,000-degree gasses entering its intake. This hot air would need to be cooled prior to being compressed and burnt with hydrogen. Reaction Engines' answer is a novel precooler heat-exchanger. This would incorporate arrays of extremely fine piping to extract the heat and plunge the intake gases to minus 130C in just 1/100th of a second. Ordinarily, the moisture in the air would be expected to freeze out rapidly, covering the network of fine piping in a blanket of frost and dislocating its operation. But REL says it has developed an anti-frost solution that will allow the heat exchanger to run and run. Esa's technical staff have witnessed this "secret technology" on the lab bench and can confirm it works. The agency's experts say they also fully expect a scaled up version of the precooler technology to function properly this

Three cheers for the price of one. Before you invite friends over for an unexpected party, there is the small matter of whether you are entitled to drink those extra bottles. The answer is no. You should contact the seller asking them to collect the extra crates. In fact, a trader can take court action if you refuse to return the goods after it has asked for them back. Many thousands of consumers have found themselves in this situation, judging by cases seen by consumer complaints advisers. Examples from James Walker, founder of independent consumer rights website Resolver, include duplications on orders of alcohol, mobile phones, and even a £500 kite. At times, errors occurred after the original order never turned up. Helen Dewdney, author of The Complaining Cow blog and a book about how to complain, said her thoughts on the subject became the second most read post on her blog. "Many people receive items that they did not request. However, most of the time they are not unsolicited goods," she says. "Well over a hundred comments [on the blog], and only one was truly about unsolicited goods." The distinction here is important. For example, an item that should have gone to a neighbour, but the house number on the package is wrong, or a mistaken duplicate order are not unsolicited. You can only keep hold of an item if it is addressed to you, there has been no previous contact with the company, and it arrives out of the blue. This is a genuine unsolicited item and is usually used as a marketing tactic, explains Citizens Advice. There are various rules regarding goods and services that arrive for free, or that a company fails to charge for. Hardly any of these regulations work in favour of consumers. If a customer enters into a contract but a company fails to take any payment, then the item or service still needs to be paid for. Similarly, if customers at a restaurant realise that something is missing from their bill, they should point it out to a member of staff. Intending not to pay for any item that has been received can be viewed as fraud, says Citizens Advice. In summary, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Many people would argue that there is a moral obligation to pay for things that have been consumed. Others say that if restaurant staff make an error on the bill, then it is their fault that the full amount is not paid. Those lines become a little more blurred if the diners only realise on the bus home that they were never charged for their dessert. The growth of online shopping means that deliveries have increased in number, and so too have mistakes. Items arriving in the mail is the one area where there might be some luck for consumers - even if they have relatively little to rely on in law. It is extremely rare for genuine unsolicited items to

Ibehre, 34, scored 14 goals for the League Two side this season as they were beaten in the play-offs by Exeter. Manager Keith Curle has also tabled contract offers to Samir Nabi, Michael Raynes, Jason Kennedy and James Bailey. Left-back Patrick Brough, keeper Max Crocombe and forward Ben Tomlinson will leave as they deals expire this summer. Carlisle already have 16 players signed on for the 2017-18 campaign, with winger Nicky Adams among 12 under contract and a further four players being promoted from the club's academy.

Travis Perkins shares were 6% lower at close after it said summer trading was slower than expected, and that full-year profits would be at the lower end of City expectations. The FTSE 100 was up by 0.44%, or 27.86 points, at 6376.28. Shares in Debenhams rose by 3.27% after the retailer reported a rise in full-year profit to £113.5m. The company also said its chief executive, Michael Sharp, would step down in 2016 as planned, following reports that the board was planning a management shake-up. On the broader share market, the FTSE 250, the estate agent Foxtons fell by more than 8% after it said the central London property market would take time to recover. The company also reported an 8.8% rise in turnover to £43.5m for the three months to September. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.10% against the dollar to $1.5402 and gained 1.56% against the euro to €1.3811.

TS Queen Mary, one of the oldest Clyde-built steamers, arrived at Greenock on Sunday afternoon after being towed from the Port of Tilbury in Essex. The 250ft ship has been languishing at the docks for years after falling into disrepair. A charity backed by Robbie Coltrane is raising funds to restore the ship and berth her permanently in Glasgow. Friends of TS Queen Mary has raised enough money to make her seaworthy but a further £2m will be needed to complete the restoration. The group hopes eventually to give her a permanent berth near the Finnieston Crane as an entertainment venue and education centre. Built in 1933 at Dumbarton, The TS Queen Mary was one of the last steamships to be launched from the famous Clyde dockyards. She sailed passengers 'doon the watter' from Glasgow to destinations such as Dunoon, Rothesay, Millport and Arran. At the outbreak of World War Two, the steamer - known as TS Queen Mary II at the time - became a lifeline for Scotland's island communities. While other vessels were commandeered to sweep for mines or to protect Scotland's skies from German bombers, she helped maintain a vital passenger and freight service between the mainland and the islands. As cars became more affordable and British holiday habits changed, she was eventually retired in 1977 and spent several years as a floating restaurant. In 2008 she was sold to a private owner but plans to restore her failed and she fell into disrepair.

Scientists say that the slithery invaders' dietary habits are preventing the spread of tree seeds by birds. Researchers say the growth of new trees on the island may have fallen by up to 92%. These losses may have grave, long-term consequences for forests and other species. These dull brown creatures with their bright yellow underbellies are believed to have arrived in the western Pacific island by cargo ship after World War II. Although only 50km long and 10km wide, Guam is now home to around two million of these nocturnal predators. The snakes have thrived on a diet of local bird species. By the 1980s they had wiped out 10 of the 12 forest bird species native to Guam. "It's a really eerie feeling to spend a day by yourself in the jungle on Guam," said study lead author Prof Haldre Rogers, from Iowa State University. "When you're on Saipan, there's this constant bird chatter, and you get visited by different birds. On Guam, it's silent." As well as the silent destruction of the bird population, researchers are now concerned that the tree snake's rise will significantly impact the island's forests. Prof Rogers and colleagues found that about 70% of the trees on Guam produce small fruit. Normally birds eat the fruit and distribute the seeds in their droppings. "Aside from fruit bats, which are also nearly extinct on Guam, nothing else can disperse seeds," Prof Rogers said. "If you get rid of the birds and bats, there's nothing to replace them." The scientists also set up "seed baskets" under two common tree species on Guam to estimate how much of the fruit was naturally dispersed. Only 10% of the seeds made it out of the immediate vicinity of the trees. The researchers also concluded that seeds that had passed through the digestive tracts of birds were two to four times more likely to germinate than those that hadn't. The team calculated that the absence of the birds reduced the abundance of new seedlings of two tree species on Guam by between 61% and 92%. "This study takes the first step in predicting the scale of change that could take place on Guam if we can't find a way to bring birds back," says Joshua Tewksbury, a co-author of the study from Future Earth, an international research platform. "The full impact of the brown tree snake invasion, and the loss of birds, is still unfolding, but our results clearly suggest that the indirect effects are going to be large, potentially affecting forest composition and structure." The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Follow Matt on Twitter and on Facebook.

Laurence Henderson, 54, died after struggling near an area known as Elephant Rock, 10 miles south of Forres, on 30 December. A coastguard rescue operation was launched, but the search was called off due to bad weather. The body of Mr Henderson, who was from Aberdeenshire, was recovered the following morning. A report on his death has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The England international, 24, has passed his medical and could face Arsenal in Saturday's opening Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium. "I'd heard about a potential move at the start of the summer," he said. "Now is the time when I need to get back to playing every week." Kelly made his Liverpool debut in 2008 and went on to make 62 appearances.

Jamieson carded a five-under-par 67 to finish in a three-way tie for second behind Sweden's Johan Carlsson. Englishmen Ross Fisher and Graeme Storm are a stroke further back, alongside Bradley Dredge of Wales. "We had the best of the conditions, not a breath of air, and the greens are so good this year," said Jamieson, who was in the first group out at 07:00 BST. Jamieson's score was matched by Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Francesco Molinari, with Open champion Henrik Stenson and Ryder Cup star Thomas Pieters part of a nine-strong group on four under. A round of 69 kept England's Tyrell Hatton in touch, but two bogeys saw compatriot Justin Rose end on level par with Danny Willett, also of England. Defending champion Chris Wood began his title defence with a level-par 72 that included three birdies and three bogeys, throwing his ball into the water after dropping a shot on the 18th. "I couldn't hit the hole from three feet," said the Englishman. "I'm pretty disappointed and not in the best frame of mind now." Media playback is not supported on this device Branden Grace received a controversial drop after his approach on the 13th landed in the bank of a bunker. Having taken his stance, the South African called in a rules official to say his feet were touching the rubber sheeting at the base of the bunker. However, the decision was criticised by Willett, Masters champion in 2016, and former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley. Willett wrote on social media: "European Tour please explain that drop!? Burying feet in to get to the base of the bunker???" McGinley added: "If you twist your feet enough you're bound to eventually reach the bunker lining. "That means any time a player wants relief from a poor lie he can simply twist his feet until he reaches the bunker lining. That can't be right." But Grace, who bogeyed the 13th and dropped another shot on the 16th in an opening round of 68, said he had simply applied the rules. "I can understand if some people criticise you for standing in the middle of the bunker and going too deep, but if you're standing on the upslope it's not always easy getting a stance," he said.

Boston Dynamics, known for its robots such as Atlas and BigDog, has struggled to commercialise its inventions and was put up for sale more than a year ago. Softbank also announced it is buying robotics group Schaft. The terms of the deals were not disclosed. Softbank shares rose by more than 7% in Tokyo. Softbank began as a Japanese telecoms company but moved into robotics and developed the human-like Pepper in 2014. Founder Masayoshi Son has since built the Japanese firm into a massive technology conglomerate through some big deals. They range from buying UK chip firm ARM Holdings for £24bn ($32bn), investing $1bn in satellite startup OneWeb, to setting up a venture fund with Saudi Arabia. Mr Son is known to have an eye for potentially transformative industries and trends. He was an early investor in Alibaba and saw the potential in e-commerce many others did.

Media playback is not supported on this device The hosts needed to win by three goals to reach Sunday's third-place play-off, but were 2-0 down inside six minutes. Sophie Bray pulled one back before Australia struck twice more after the break to leave GB finish bottom of the Pool. "Today was unacceptable," head coach Danny Kerry told BBC Sport. "Other than today we have played OK, but we were soft, deserved to be beaten the way we did and I'm bitterly angry, which the girls know." With most of the British line-up having featured for England during their historic EuroHockey Championship victory at the same venue last year, GB were hoping for a moral boosting tournament before this summer's Rio Olympics. GB began their Champions Trophy campaign with an encouraging 2-2 draw against World League gold medallists Argentina. However, they then lost 2-0 to the Netherlands, were beaten 1-0 by New Zealand and suffered a 2-0 defeat by the USA, all without scoring a goal. "We have under-performed this week," said Susanna Townsend, who secured her 100th international cap against Australia. "That said, it's not the worst time for it to happen because we have played well this year and it's Rio where we want to peak." Find out how to get into hockey with our special guide. Britain will face New Zealand, who earlier drew 1-1 with USA, in the fifth/sixth-place play-off on Sunday. "It's important they show some character tomorrow," added Kerry. "It's important that they front up and show some grit and determination." Scorer Bray said: "We'll do everything possible to go out there and show what we can do tomorrow for the crowd, who have been fantastic." Defending Olympic champions the Netherlands will face Argentina for the second time in 24 hours in the gold medal match. They head into that fixture with the psychological advantage having beaten their opponents 2-0 on Saturday. Australia's defeat of Great Britain secured them a match against the USA for bronze.

Abuot 400 old vehicles are on fire at the Moorfield Drive Industrial estate in Altham, near Accrington. More than 80 firefighters are at the yard. Lancashire Police said smoke drifted across the M65 between Rishton and Accrington. Two lanes were closed eastbound. Residents are being asked to keep their windows closed and avoid the area. Lancashire Fire and Rescue said crews were starting to have a "significant effect" on the blaze after being called to the yard at about 04:40 GMT. The blaze quickly spread due to a "strong breeze", it added. A hazardous materials unit has joined firefighters to advise on protecting the environment and public health. The Environment Agency said it was working with the fire service.

The Queen will hand out Maundy money to 89 men and 89 women, the first time the service has been held in Sheffield. Maundy Thursday recognises the service of elderly people to their community and their church. Dr Croft said it had been a "huge amount of work for several months - in secret". "There's a real sense of anticipation now, and joy that this is happening in Sheffield this year," he said. The British monarch's Maundy Thursday service has been held in England since the 12th Century, to mark Jesus washing his disciples' feet. Dr Croft said it was about expressing practical love for others, especially of the poor. The Queen's visit was made public in January and has involved preparation from Sheffield Cathedral, the police and city council. Dr Croft said the 175 recipients of Maundy Money had been nominated locally. "It's a profound Christian reflection of the command to love one another, at the heart of the city," he said. "Sheffield Cathedral will become a Chapel Royal for the day, and platters from the Crown Jewels will be brought to carry the Maundy Money." The service has been held in almost every cathedral in England and some in Scotland and Wales. BBC Radio Sheffield's Rony Robinson will be reporting on the event on Thursday.

Sacha Dench will fly by paramotor - paragliding with a propeller strapped to her back - to get as close as possible to flying as the swans do. Each night she will land close by to observe their habits and hazards. She hopes to shed light on the steady decline of Bewick's swans whose numbers have halved in the last 20 years. The first part of the journey will take her across the Russian tundra, a desolate land of extreme weather and home to polar bears, bears and wolves. There were no roads for the first 1,000km which meant a ground support crew was not an option, she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Ms Dench, a former free-diving champion, must rely instead on good weather forecasting and nomadic reindeer breeders for help, and will sleep in small huts built by hunters for shelter. She will meet communities along the swans' flight path across 11 countries, including reindeer herders, farmers and hunters. A main aim of the expedition was to show the world the "amazing flight" that birds did, linking wetlands between the Arctic tundra and the UK, she said. She said swans which arrived at her workplace at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire needed safe passage all the way from northern Russia and fewer were making it in the last two decades. "It's crucial that we act now before it's too late," she said. Naturalist and TV presenter Sir David Attenborough said the Flight of the Swans expedition was "marvellously imaginative and adventurous". "That swans should fly from Russia to come here is surely a kind of parable - we can live in harmony with nature and it's up to us to do so." Actress Dame Judi Dench, who was contacted by Ms Dench after a family member found out they were related, said: "Flight of the Swans is absolutely fascinating, full of adventure and passion. I'm proud to support it. "We need to work together if we're to help these beautiful birds, and I am looking forward to following the expedition."

Pitroipa, the player of the tournament at the 2013 Nations Cup when Burkina Faso finished as runners-up, has not played for his country since the German manager took charge of the Stallions. But the 62-year-old has included the winger in his 24-man squad for the Group D fixture on 5 September. I'm sure we'll see him playing for his country again which will be exciting, but right now the ball is in his court And Rohr said he hopes the inclusion of Pitroipa, who plays for Al Nasr in the United Arab Emirates, will benefit the team. "He's been unavailable for different reasons like club engagements and injury but I'd be hoping [to have him for the qualifiers] because he brings a lot to the team," Rohr told the local media. "It is no secret that a fully fit and motivated Pitroipa is every coach's joy and only a few managers would deny that. "I'm sure we'll see him playing for his country again which will be exciting, but right now the ball is in his court." Rohr has also included brothers Alain and Bertrand Traore - despite the latter yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this season. There is a maiden call-up for Algeria-based Patrick Malo and a recall for veteran defender Paul Koulibaly. The squad will report for a three-day camp in Paris on 29 August before flying out to Johannesburg, South Africa four days later. Rohr also revealed that the Stallions will travel by road from South Africa to the capital Gaborone on 2 September before the hour-long drive to match venue Lobatse on the eve of the game. Burkina Faso made a strong start to their qualification campaign in Ouagadougou, beating Comoros Islands 2-0 in their Group D opener in June. Burkina Faso squad: Goalkeepers: Moussa Germain Sanou (Beauvais, France), Abdoulaye Soulama (Hearts of Oak, Ghana), Baba Zongo (EFO) Defenders: Bakary Koné (Lyon, France), Steeve Yago (Toulouse, France), Mohamed Koffi (Zamalek, Egypt), Issoufou Dayo (RSB, Morocco), Narcisse Bambara (Universitatea Cluj, Romania), Pierre Daila (Stade Malien, Mali), Paul Koulibaly (Horoya AC, Guinea) Midfielders: Bertrand Traoré (Chelsea, England), Adama Guira (Sonderyesk, Denmark), Djakaridja Koné (Evian TG, France), Charles Kaboré (Kuban Krasnodar, Russia), Patrick Malo (JS Kabylie, Algeria), Abdoul Aziz Kaboré (Valenciennes, France), Aly Rabo (Ittihad El Shorta, Egypt) Forwards: Alain Traoré (Lorient, France), Préjuce Nakoulma (Mersin İdman Yurdu, Turkey), Jonathan Zongo (Almeria, Spain), Jonathan Pitroipa (Al Nasr, UAE), Aristide Bancé (Chippa United, South Africa), Fadil Sido (FC Metz, France), Issiaka Ouédraogo (Admira Wacker, Austria).

The paper says there are calls for councillor Graham Craig to apologise for remarks he made about council chief Suzanne Wylie. During a debate on cycling, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) councillor remarked how he occasionally saw Progressive Unionist Party councillor Dr John Kyle on his bike. But he added: "And I often have the slightly greater pleasure of the chief executive whizzing past me on her bicycle in the morning which does quicken one's step slightly." Ms Wylie, who was present for the debate, has not commented, but Mr Craig's remarks have been condemned by Alliance, SDLP and Green councillors. In defence, the paper adds: "Video footage of the meeting shows Mr Craig smiling and making the comments in attempted good humour." The party also features in the headline on the front page of the Irish News, which says a DUP-driven £2m community hall scheme is weighted in favour of the Protestant community. This revelation is contained in a revised official report - known as an equality screening document - into the programme by the Department for Communities. The Irish News says in an "unusual development", the report found the bias was "appropriate because many Protestant community groups were losing out on lottery funding as religious objections to gambling stopped them applying". The Department for Communities told the paper it had failed to carry out a review before the scheme was launched last year, blaming an "oversight by departmental officials". The Irish News devotes a double-page spread and an editorial to the story: "This document has raised further questions for the department which needs to make clear when the decision was taken to set this rather unusual criteria." The News Letter's front page has a hopeful message from the DUP after the resumption of talks to end the political impasse at Stormont. Party leader Arlene Foster is quoted as saying the end of April was a realistic timeframe for achieving some kind of deal to reinstate Northern Ireland's devolved government. She described meetings with the leaders of the four other main parties as "constructive". Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has denied he authorised the security services to tap the phone of the late Rev Ian Paisley when he was an MP, the Irish News reports. It follows allegations from Lord Prescott, former deputy prime minister, that Mr Blair told him about the eavesdropping in 2005. But Mr Blair's office insisted the story was "wrong" and suggested Lord Prescott's account may arise from a "confused" recollection of a discussion about the long-standing convention that MPs should not have their communications monitored. Meanwhile, it's ships ahoy in the Belfast Telegraph, which reports that nearly 90 cruise ships are heading to Belfast this summer. "It will be an unprecedented year for seafaring travellers since cruise ships first arrived in the city in 1996," the paper adds. The Daily Mirror considers a spate of sudden deaths in Belfast. The paper claims police have launched an investigation into the deaths of three men on

The bloc warns of "serious consequences" if Mr Jammeh's refusal to give up power causes a crisis. Adama Barrow, who won the recent presidential vote, said he believed he would be sworn in next week. Nigeria's leader has flown to Banjul to try to broker a deal but the latest talks appear to have failed. Nigerian MPs have voted to offer Mr Jammeh asylum to help negotiations. Mr Jammeh had initially conceded defeat, but later contested the 1 December election. He wants the results annulled after the electoral commission admitted some errors, although it insists this did not affect the final outcome. The 51-year-old leader seized power in the country in 1994 and has been accused of human rights abuses, although he has held regular elections. The Supreme Court is unable to hear the challenge until May because of a shortage of judges, and Mr Jammeh says he will not step down until then. Meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the AU peace and security council called on Gambia's security forces to exercise restraint. In a statement, it warned of "serious consequences in the event that his [Mr Jammeh's] action causes any crisis that could lead to political disorder, humanitarian and human rights disaster, including loss of innocent lives and destruction of properties". There are growing fears that the uncertainty could cause a refugee exodus. Thousands of Gambians, mostly women and children, have already crossed the border into neighbouring Senegal and further afield to Guinea-Bissau, where they do not require a visa, officials say. Foreign leaders from regional bloc Ecowas, led by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, arrived in The Gambia to again try to persuade Mr Jammeh to step down on schedule. The grouping has warned that it would consider removing him using military force if he refuses. The talks were a last ditch attempt to persuade President Jammeh, who once said he would rule the country for a billion years, to step down, the BBC's Africa editor Richard Hamilton says. However, Halifa Sillah, a spokesman for Mr Barrow, said late on Friday that the latest talks had failed to solve the crisis, insisting that they must continue. Much will depend on whether President Jammeh is offered some sort of amnesty deal to avoid prosecution for human rights abuses and crucially whether the army, which has expressed loyalty to its long-time leader, will change sides, our correspondent says. Mr Barrow, a property developer, told the BBC's Newsday programme that he would prefer a "peaceful transition". He said he welcomed the move by Nigerian MPs to offer Mr Jammeh asylum, but said he did not feel the situation would "get to this level". "We want to keep Jammeh in The Gambia, I don't think there's any need for him to go to another country." He called on Mr Jammeh to "respect the constitution" and engage in direct talks. "We solve our problems within ourselves without the intervention of anybody. I think that's what we'd prefer," he said. A lawyer for

It is one of a number of options being considered by the Weston Area Health NHS Trust, as it tries to comply with new government health reforms. The complex is £5m in debt and must cut losses ahead of new government rules. A statement from Weston Area Health NHS Trust said discussions about its future were "progressing well", and stressed NHS services will continue in the town. New government rules say all NHS trusts must become foundation trusts by April 2014, thereby proving they can run their services without going into debt and function independently of the Department of Health. As well possibly entering into a partnership with an external organisation, merging with a foundation trust is another option. "We announced in November that as the trust was one of the smallest in the country, it did not have the critical mass of services sufficient to become a standalone NHS Foundation Trust," the trust statement continued. By Nigel DandoChief reporter, BBC Radio Bristol It's a big problem in the case of the hospital trust here in Weston. There are two options which the trust is now considering - they can be acquired by another NHS Foundation Trust or they can find a partner to run the hospital's services. That partner could be from the private sector. It could be a voluntary organisation or it could be a charity. My understanding is that the trust has been looking at the private sector model, although nothing has yet been decided. The high-profile example of this approach is at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. Last February it became the first NHS hospital to be operated by a private partner, when the Circle Partnership took over its running. "Whichever route we end up taking, it is clear that the trust must, and will, continue to provide NHS services for NHS patients. Whatever option is selected, all staff and assets will remain within the NHS." The financial deficit at Weston General Hospital has, until now, been covered by the NHS North Somerset Primary Care Trust (PCT). That arrangement will end shortly when the PCT is disbanded and replaced by what is called a clinical commissioning group, which will not have the money to bail out the hospital. Weston Area Health NHS Trust was one of three trusts in England highlighted recently by the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee as not having a proper financial plan for its future. Christina Cook from the Unison trade union said: "Unison is totally opposed to the privatisation of Weston General Hospital as its members wish to continue working for the NHS. "Unison members feel very strongly about this subject and are prepared to campaign against privatisation."

Media playback is not supported on this device No wonder he says his time at Meadow Lane has been "a rollercoaster". Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson came and went as director of football, as did Munto Finance and Sol Campbell - and that is just the tale of a few months in Edwards' decade-long association with the East Midlands club. He now works as fitness and conditioning coach - a job that he once mixed with being part-time cook - but also remains part of the playing squad at the age of 36. "That is the thing with Notts, you have to muck in. You have the job you have to do, but also you know you have to go a bit beyond it. You do it for the love of the club," he says. Ahead of his testimonial match at Meadow Lane against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, the defender looks back at the bosses, the good times and bad during 350 matches at Notts. Possibly the most turbulent time of Edwards' career came when former England boss Eriksson arrived after Middle East consortium Munto Finance took over the club of the summer of 2009. There was a five-year plan to take the club into the Premier League, but it came to nothing and ended with the club heavily in debt and a £1 takeover. "He (Eriksson) was queen of everybody's hearts, the dressing room really took to him," Edwards said. "He was honest with the boys about the troubles off the pitch. He came and told us that we couldn't pay the milk bill. He tried his best to get the club that investment and to get the security." During that time, Edwards lost his place to former England defender Campbell, who arrived on a five-year deal, but spent just one month and played one game for the Magpies before leaving by mutual consent. "I like to say that I got him out of the team the next game. To say that I got an ex-international out of the team is a nice thing to keep with me," Edwards said. After two years away from Meadow Lane between 2012 and 2014, Edwards returned to Notts County looking to expand his horizons beyond the pitch. It led to a job on the coaching staff, and inadvertently as part-time chef under then manager Shaun Derry when budgets were having to be cut. "I remember having a meeting with Shaun and Greg Abbott and they were looking at me saying 'we are not going to a hotel before games, we are going to eat on the coach'," he recalls. "It was my second day in the job and I could feel the heat, a stack of bricks on me and I felt I had to pipe up and say something. "I said that I could cook, make the food. My wife and kids got back after school and work and there is a stack of pans in the kitchen. They just asked

The 25-year-old, signed from Crystal Palace for a reported £10m in the summer, clinically fired home after Mohamed Diame's ball over the top. Newcastle edged the opening period, with Isaac Hayden twice heading wide when well placed. Gayle struck the post after half-time, as City failed to seriously trouble Magpies goalkeeper Matz Sels. The Robins, playing in front of the biggest crowd at Ashton Gate for 26 years, saw plenty of the ball but struggled to convert their attacking play into genuine goalscoring opportunities. Hordur Magnusson came closest to an equaliser, heading Luke Freeman's near-post corner just wide in the final 10 minutes. Striker Jonathan Kodjia, still without a goal this season, had the home side's clearest sight of goal in injury time but could only volley over from close range. Newcastle, who have now recorded back-to-back victories after losing their first two matches of the season, held on for their first away win since December 2015. Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "There were loads of positives for us. We lost to one quality finish after being caught out by a great ball. "We have a bit of work to do with our forward play. The strikers need to know when the ball is going into the box so they can time their movement and we took too many touches at times. "But I can't be too critical because the players gave everything. The way we penned Newcastle in and the energy we showed were really pleasing." Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "It's great to have a team who can go forward and score goals but you also need organisation and team spirit to get results. "For me, it was a step forward in the confidence of the players because we now know we can win games with our forward play or by defending strongly. "I expected a difficult game because what I knew of Bristol City and their manager is they know what they are doing and can change systems during a match. I expect them to do well this season."

The West Highland Way covers 96 miles (154.4km) from Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William. National Geographic Traveler Magazine ranked it alongside 19 other trails, including the Santa Cruz Trek in Peru and Tibet's Mount Kailash Pilgrimage. The magazine's August/September issue also has a feature on the Scottish islands of Muck, Eigg and Jura. Colorado-based Doug Schnitzspahn compiled National Geographic Traveler's guide to the world's best hikes. The writer has spent several years building and maintaining trails while working for the US Forest Service in Montana and Idaho. Mr Schnitzspahn said the West Highland Way could "feel big and windswept at times, taking in the rocky peaks and rolling grasses of Glen Coe and climbing the Devil's Staircase path on the Aonach Eagach ridge". He added: "But the route also takes in more subtle beauty, including the bogs of Rannoch Moor and the shores of bucolic Loch Lomond." The writer also highlighted the fact that the Scottish trail forms part of the International Appalachian Trail (IAT), which also features in the National Geographic list. The IAT is an attempt to connect treks in the Appalachian Mountains of the US to others in Canada, Greenland, Scotland, France, Spain and Morocco. Mountains in the countries are the remains of a range that traversed part of the supercontinent of Pangaea some 300 million years ago, before it broke up. Previously, National Geographic Traveler included a 300-mile (483km) sea kayaking expedition along Scotland's west coast as the only UK entry in its list of 50 Tours of a Lifetime. Britain's largest national park and the Highlands were also included on a list of places in the world for travellers to visit during 2011.

Substitute Nathan Redmond looked to have won it for the visitors with a low strike, before Kouyate pounced. Robbie Brady had given Norwich the lead early on, seizing on Mark Noble's mistake before calmly slotting in. Diafra Sakho levelled for the hosts by sliding in Dimitri Payet's cutback, as John Ruddy pulled off saves from both Sakho and Payet. Relive the entertaining Premier League draw between West Ham and Norwich It was an entertaining encounter in east London, with both sides having opportunities to win the game. The Hammers have had an impressive start to the season, winning three games on the road, but they seem to have problems in front of their own fans, collecting just four points from a possible 12. If they have ambitions of finishing in the top six, they will need to improve their form at Upton Park, in their last season at the ground before moving to the Olympic Stadium. And having gone behind, they were always playing catch-up in the match. Norwich's goal came against the early run of play, gifted to them by Noble's misjudged pass across his defence, but they gained confidence from the strike. Hammers dangerman Payet struggled to exert his influence on the game, losing the ball 19 times in the match - the most of any home player - as he tried to do too much on his own. He did, however, provide an assist for West Ham's first equaliser, cutting the ball back for Sakho to signal a home resurgence. Visiting skipper Russell Martin, who earned the Canaries a point against Liverpool last week, led from the back, winning the ball back seven times as well as making seven clearances, but ultimately left disappointed. Having looked like snatching all three points through with seven minutes remaining, Redmond rounding off a period of sustained pressure with his goal, Norwich conceded late in injury time; Ruddy tried to punch the ball away but it ricocheted off Andy Carroll allowing a grateful Kouyate to stab home. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich midfielder Nathan Redmond: "I thought we had played well and gave ourselves a great opportunity to win the game. I thought we secured it with my goal but we are disappointed to concede late on." Norwich boss Alex Neil: "When you concede with a minute to go, it is always disappointing but we will take encouragement from how well we played." West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "I am happy that we showed the character at the end and we deserved it. A draw is a fair result and they are probably gutted because of the timing of the last goal."

Like Ronald, she was a former Hollywood performer who made it all the way to the White House. The Reagans' 52-year marriage was once described as the greatest love affair in the history of the American presidency. "My life really began when I met my husband," she once wrote. She was born Anne Frances Robbins in New York on 6 July 1921 but was known as Nancy from an early age. Her father, a car salesman, separated from her mother before she was born. When she was six, her mother Edith - a stage actress - married Loyal Davis, a wealthy neurosurgeon. Dr Davis adopted Nancy, and she grew up in Chicago. Intent on becoming an actress, she joined a touring theatre company in 1946. Her stepfather's money cushioned her against the rigours that confront many young would-be performers. She eventually appeared on Broadway, and finally went to Hollywood, where - as Nancy Davis - she made 11 films between 1946 and 1959. Stardom, however, eluded her. In 1951 she met Ronald Reagan, who had just divorced his first wife, Jane Wyman. By then he was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the couple worked together on the film Hellcats of the Navy. They married a year later and went on to have son and a daughter, Ron and Patti. Reagan also had two children from his first marriage, Maureen, who died in 2001, and Michael. Nancy Reagan retired from films soon after her marriage and for the rest of her life devoted herself to her family. When her husband became governor of California - and later president - Nancy, an amalgam of protector and mother confessor, was always just behind his shoulder. As First Lady, she sought to emulate the style of one of her predecessors, Jackie Kennedy. To this end, she extensively redecorated the White House, accepted designer dresses worth $1m (£600,000) and a 4,732-piece set of china worth $209,000. But this spending spree provoked a huge outcry from people outraged by what they saw as profligacy and waste while millions of Americans were losing their jobs. Public opinion was also swayed by accusations that Mrs Reagan had a frosty personality, often consulted astrologers, and ordered the dismissal of White House chief of staff Donald Regan in 1987. The former First Lady always rejected the harsh image she acquired during the White House years, and President Reagan himself had to deny that his wife was "some kind of dragon lady". "I often cried during those eight years," she wrote in her 1989 memoirs My Turn. "There were times when I just didn't know what to do, or how I would survive." During her time in the White House, Reagan became well-known as an anti-drugs campaigner. Though undoubtedly pithy, her slogan "Just say no" went unheeded by many young Americans who just said "yes" instead. But there was much public sympathy when in November 1994, Reagan announced that he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. She

Gytis Griskevicius denies attacking and drowning Marina Erte, 33, in the bath at her flat in Boston on 20 May 2016. Lincoln Crown Court had previously heard he was motivated by jealousy as Ms Erte was in a new relationship. Mr Griskevicius, 32, of St Ann's Lane, Boston, is accused of murdering Ms Erte just hours after celebrating his birthday at a barbecue with friends. More on this and other stories from across Lincolnshire The court heard evidence from police interviews in which the defendant said his estranged wife had called at his house to wish him happy birthday. He said they had then visited Asda, and bought alcohol before going back to Ms Erte's flat to drink it. He told officers that his estranged wife later "became cheeky" and asked him to go to bed with her. As the interview continued, Mr Griskevicius said: "We went to the bedroom where she took off her clothes and I took off mine." He said they stared having sex, but added: "We didn't manage to finish because we were so drunk" The defendant said he left her home at about 02:00 BST and walked home. "When I left she was quite happy. We had some kisses at the flat. She was alright," he added. He denied murdering Ms Erte and said he was "sad" she was dead. It is alleged Griskevicius drowned his estranged wife with a shower attachment before setting fire to her flat in Boston to destroy the evidence. Ms Erte's naked and badly beaten body was found in the bath at her flat by firemen who had been called out by neighbours. The trial continues.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist, 37, has been hindered by injuries in recent seasons and has been below his best this year for the Lakers. He told the Players' Tribune: "My body knows it's time to say goodbye." Bryant has averaged more than 25 points per game in his 1,293 NBA matches. Should the Lakers fail to make the end-of-season play-offs, his final game is set to be at home against Utah on 13 April. The Lakers have won just two of their 16 matches so far this season, with Bryant averaging 15.7 points per game. In a poem entitled 'Dear Basketball', Bryant announced "this season is all I have left to give". The Philadelphia-born player added: "You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream. And I'll always love you for it. But I can't love you obsessively for much longer." He ended the poem without hinting at what he might do next. "We both know, no matter what I do next, I'll always be that kid, with the rolled up socks, garbage can in the corner, :05 seconds on the clock, ball in my hands," he wrote. Bryant was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008 and selected for the NBA All-Star team on 17 occasions. He won Olympic gold with the United States in 2008 and 2012. Lakers coach Byron Scott said he thought Bryant would have played on for at least another season. "It kind of shocked me when he told me," said Scott. "I'm sad more than anything. Somebody I care about, have a lot of respect for... it's always hard when greatness like Kobe decides to hang it up. "For him to be able to go around to all these cities and them to be able to appreciate him for what he has accomplished is great." Lakers president Jeanie Buss added: "We're all sad. This era of Lakers basketball has been one of the most fun, exciting, prosperous eras we could imagine. "We're in full support of him. But it's still very sad."

Only 800 breeding pairs of corn bunting, confined to parts of the eastern lowlands and the Western Isles, are believed to remain in Scotland. An Aberdeenshire population declined from 134 pairs to only 12 over a 20-year period. A study has found changes in crop management could be to blame. The joint study by RSPB Scotland and Dr Adam Watson, who monitored the corn bunting population, reported that an increase in field size and decrease in weed abundance reduced the availability of safe nesting sites and food sources the species depends on. Dr Watson said: "When I first studied this population in 1989 it was thriving, and I saw winter flocks hundreds strong. "To me in 2012, the familiar farmlands seem silent and empty. It is tragic." RSPB Scotland conservation scientist Allan Perkins said: "Intensive crop management and removal of field boundaries, resulting in fewer weeds and the insects they support, together with earlier harvesting of cereals and mowing of grass has had a detrimental effect on the corn bunting. "This is a species that favours low-intensity farming and it is vital that such systems are preserved, or habitats replicated through agri-environment schemes."

Napoli looked set to maintain their two-point lead until substitute Zaza's deflected 18-yard shot flew past away keeper Pepe Reina. Juve, who are bidding for a fifth straight Scudetto, have now won 15 successive league games. Napoli barely tested Gianluigi Buffon as their eight-match winning run ended. Relive Juve's dramatic win over their Serie A title rivals The visitors came closest to threatening when Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci's vital interception stopped Serie A's top scorer Gonzalo Higuain from making contact with a dangerous right-wing cross. Argentina international Higuain had scored 24 goals in his previous 24 league matches, helping Napoli become the league's most prolific attack. But, despite playing confidently and refusing to sit back, the visitors could not break down a Juventus defence that has only conceded 15 goals this season. Zaza was introduced for Spain striker Alvaro Morata shortly before the hour mark, eventually making the decisive impact to spark joyous celebrations among the home players and supporters. "I hope it's a decisive goal as far as the title race is concerned," said 24-year-old Italy international Zaza. "The good thing is it's now in our hands."

But Michael Fallon said no action would be taken without a Commons vote. The UK does not need the backing of MPs to launch raids but Mr Fallon has said they will have the final say. Labour has indicated it would not oppose military action in Syria as it did in 2013. The party's acting leader Harriet Harman said Islamic State had to be "stopped" and Labour would look "very seriously" at any proposals brought forward by the government. She said the situation was the different from that in 2013, when Labour voted against air strikes in Syria, because IS was a terrorist organisation, while President Assad was the head of a government, albeit a "terrible regime". Labour had been concerned about "what would fill the space" if the Syrian president had been toppled, added Ms Harman. She suggested terrorist attacks, such as Friday's tourist murders in Tunisia, may have been planned by IS in Syria - a point also made by Michael Fallon. Thirty of the 38 tourists killed on the beach in Sousse on 26 June have been confirmed as British. Student Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, said to have had links to IS, was shot dead by police after carrying out the attack. Michael Fallon was dipping the government's toe in the Opposition's water. The defence secretary has long believed it is not logical to limit air strikes to Iraq when the terrorists do not respect, or even recognise, borders. But he stressed that the government would only widen the RAF's operations to Syria if he could gain "some consensus" in Parliament. So while any air strikes in Syria would be unlikely to go ahead until a new Labour leader is in place in September, Mr Fallon would be encouraged to hear acting leader Harriet Harman and shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker say they would consider any proposals seriously. Their support is important, because David Cameron would not risk going down to defeat as he did over the separate issue of air strikes against the Assad regime in 2013. But there were other signs that a consensus could be difficult to achieve. Some Conservative backbenchers raised doubts about further military action in the absence of a wider diplomatic strategy. Others had legal concerns. And former SNP leader Alex Salmond - now the party's international affairs spokesman - denounced previous military interventions in Islamic countries and said he was "sceptical" about any future ones. Mr Fallon told MPs a "full spectrum response" was needed to deal with IS at its source. "We will not bring a motion to this house on which there is not some consensus. "Our position therefore remains that we would return to this house before conducting air strikes in Syria." BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Fallon's comments were not a call for imminent action, but were "preparing the ground" or "pitch rolling" for a change in approach. Prime Minister David Cameron later said IS posed "an existential threat" to the West, and its members
