Add punctuation: A statement said the rebels had breached it more than 40 times along the border with Saudi Arabia. The UN-brokered truce, meant to last three days, began on Wednesday just before midnight. Rebels, meanwhile, said an air strike on their territory had killed three civilians. The UN had hoped that the truce might be extended and lead to renewed peace talks. Rockets were fired by Houthi rebels at Jazan and Najran in Saudi Arabia, the coalition said in a statement. "Forty-three violations were committed along the border... in which snipers and various weapons were used, including missiles," it said. The Houthis said a coalition air strike on Thursday killed three civilians in northern Saada province. They also said they had launched attacks across the border on Saudi military camps over the past two days. The war has killed nearly 7,000 people, mostly civilians, the UN says. The coalition, which backs Yemen's exiled president, has been fighting the rebels and their allies since March 2015, when a Saudi-led air campaign began. Five previous ceasefires have broken down within a short time. The announcement of the ceasefire followed an international outcry over the deaths of 140 people in a Saudi air strike that hit a funeral gathering in Sanaa. Saudi officials said they had targeted the wrong site by mistake due to "bad information". The conflict and a blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition have triggered a humanitarian disaster, leaving millions of people homeless and hungry and 80% of the population in need of aid.

Add punctuation: The EU's statistics office figures found consumer prices fell by 0.1% in March from a year earlier, as against a 0.3% fall last month. The downward pressure on prices has come from the drop in energy costs, but which now appear to be levelling out. The unemployment rate in the eurozone fell from 11.4% to 11.3% in February. The total decline of 329,000 in the number of eurozone jobless in the three months to February is the largest three-month fall since the three months to April 2007. The numbers suggest businesses are becoming more willing to step up hiring encouraged by very low oil prices, a markedly weaker euro and a major stimulus from the European Central Bank (ECB). In January the ECB announced a quantitative easing programme to purchase more than €1tn ($1.07tn, £730bn) in assets - pumping money into the banking system to boost the eurozone economy, and stave off deflation. Despite the headline rate rising to -0.1%, core annual inflation - which excludes energy and food prices - continued to fall, dropping to 0.6% from 0.7% in February. Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics, said: "The latest data on eurozone inflation and unemployment do little to diminish the danger of a prolonged period of deflation in the currency union. "The increase was driven entirely by higher food and energy inflation, no doubt partly reflecting the drop in the euro during the month."

Add punctuation: The 83-year old explained: "A persistent health issue has turned into something quite a lot bigger. I've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer." Robertson added that she is due to start chemotherapy soon. Ruth Langsford, one of the presenters of the mid-morning show, said the team were in a "state of shock". "After almost 30 years of providing comfort to millions of viewers, agony aunt Denise Robertson is in need of a lot of love herself today," Langsford said. Denise Robertson has been with the programme since it began in 1988. She said the diagnosis had "come as a surprise to me and my family" but added: "We know that many others have suffered and dealt with this condition and I don't plan to give up without a fight." She also thanked viewers of This Morning who had sent in messages of concern in recent weeks. Tweeting his support for Robertson, fellow ITV presenter Leigh Francis said: "Sending all my love a support to Denise. Stay positive and get well soon." This Morning presenter Philip Schofield said: "Sending all my love to a unique and wonderful lady." Sunderland University, who have often invited local-born Robertson there as a guest speaker, tweeted: "Thoughts are with honorary graduate Denise Robertson today following the news she has been diagnosed with cancer." In addition to solving personal problems on the ITV programme, Robertson also has her own advice website and has written columns for Candis magazine. Her television career started in 1985 when she joined the BBC's Breakfast Time programme, as it was called then. Since becoming well known as an agony aunt, she has also written several novels and appeared as a guest on programmes such as The Weakest Link, The Paul O'Grady Show, Celebrity Mastermind and Loose Women. She was appointed an MBE in 2006 for services to broadcasting and to charity. She lost her first husband Alex Robertson to lung cancer in 1972, but kept his surname when she remarried. In 2006 her stepson, John, also died of cancer, at the age of 44.

Add punctuation: The latest figures suggest more than nine million people have voted so far, and although that is just a fraction of the 129 million who took part in the 2012 election, the data does give us some nuggets of insight. Here's what we know so far, courtesy of our North America reporter Anthony Zurcher: Because many states disclose the party affiliation of those who have voted, we know that Democrats and Republicans are running neck-and-neck in Florida - a good sign for Hillary Clinton, given that Republicans in the state usually early vote in larger numbers. In Colorado and Nevada, Democrats are significantly outperforming past results at this point - more good news for the former secretary of state. But the opposite is true in Iowa - a state Mr Trump desperately needs to win. Indications of lower turnout in Ohio's big cities could also be good news for the Republican. Of course, this information tells us nothing about how those not affiliated to the major parties are voting - or how many Americans may be crossing party lines in this most unconventional election. FiveThirtyEight: Americans love early voting, and it might help Clinton One reason the Democrats may be doing slightly better in early voting is down to their ground game - knocking on doors, speaking to voters on the phone and handing out campaign materials (signs, stickers, etc) so they can show their support. Critics say Donald Trump's campaign has failed to understand the importance of this and comments on Monday by a Republican official in a swing county in Nevada back that up. Roger Edwards, chairman of the Washoe County Republican Party, told NBC News that he was desperate for more resources, but couldn't get the Trump campaign to send him any despite calling them every day and being in a swing state. "I need 2,000 yard signs. I need 10,000 bumper stickers. And I don't even get a call back," he told NBC's Chris Jansing. Who will win? Play our game to make your call There was no shortage of signs at Donald Trump's rally in Florida on Monday, and they were the hot topic on Twitter. A few eagle-eyed viewers noticed one reading "Blacks for Trump" that was being held aloft by a white woman. A man dressed as a doctor directly behind her was also the focus of some online debate. Mr Trump was campaigning in Florida on Monday and Tuesday this week, and it appears to have paid off - a new poll by Bloomberg has the Republican leading his rival by 45% to 43%. The RealClearPolitics polling average still has Mrs Clinton ahead, but only by 1.6%. Meanwhile, Colin Powell, the Republican former secretary of state, is reportedly planning to vote for Hillary Clinton. He has criticised Donald Trump in recent months but it's the first time he's said he will back the Democratic nominee. Another loss for Mr Trump is his namesake, Dr Donald Trump, an oncologist in Virginia, who told CNN on Monday that he disliked the Republican's "theatrical persona" and would vote for Mrs Clinton. That's got to hurt. On the upside, the businessman looks like he can count on the support of his employees at the Doral Golf Club in Miami. Mr Trump held an event there on Monday, where he encouraged his staff to come up on stage and "say a few words about working for Trump". Take a look below: $29.3 million The amount being spent by the Clinton campaign and Priorities USA Action, the super PAC backing her, on TV ads in 15 battleground states this week, according to ad buyers. The Trump campaign and various groups that back him are reported to be spending $15.8 million in 12 battleground states. In a surprise move for a presidential candidate, Donald Trump is taking time out of campaigning to open his new luxury hotel in Washington DC, before later heading to North Carolina to hold a rally at the Kinston Jet Center. Mike Pence, meanwhile, is holding rallies in Nevada, Utah and Colorado. Hillary Clinton is in Florida, holding events in Palm Beach and Tampa, while her running-mate Tim Kaine is campaigning in Pennsylvania. Her army of surrogates is out on the road again, with Bill Clinton in North Carolina and her daughter Chelsea in Ohio. Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, is also campaigning for Hillary Clinton in Norfolk, Virginia.

Add punctuation: Those sorts of events are among my favourite ways to spend time and they are a complete break from Formula 1, so a great way to refresh myself mentally before the next race. I flew into Paris on Monday but got caught up in the French air strike and they wouldn't let us land for a while, and then there was really bad traffic so I got to the Stella McCartney show just as it was finishing, unfortunately. There was some nonsense I saw reported somewhere about me and my friend Janelle Monae, the singer, being refused entry. But that wasn't the case at all - we were just at the wrong door, so we had to go around the back, where we saw Stella. She's a big racing fan, and I'm a big admirer of her work, so I spent some time with her - and also with her husband Alasdhair Willis, whose clothes I buy a lot of. It was good to see them again. I spent the next few days taking in a few of the top shows such as Valentino and the Chanel show, which was just unbelievable - I got to meet Karl Lagerfeld, who is 'The Man' when it comes to fashion. He was a really nice guy. Fashion weeks generally are just a really super-fun time. You get to meet the designers and get a real insight into how they came up with the clothes. And everyone is there and you bump into a lot of people in the business - I got to see Kanye (West) for example; I met Mario Testino, the great photographer, for the first time; and I got to hang with Miguel after his performance at the US Ambassador's Residence. It's basically the best social week ever. There is a lot of relationship-building and a lot of positive things come from those weeks. This week, I have a front cover of an incredible fashion magazine coming out, for example, which is a great way of extending my story to people who perhaps don't know so much about me. As always, F1 is paramount and, now Paris is over, I'm fully focused on Sochi and hopefully having another successful weekend. In fact, it could be a particularly important race for my Mercedes team because we could clinch our second consecutive constructors' championship if things go well. We need to score three more points than Ferrari in Russia and we've done it, and it would be no less than the team deserve because they have been absolutely fantastic this year. If it happens, it will be at the same point in the season as last year. It says a lot about the team that they are in this position despite our main rival being closer this year than last season. We have definitely felt the heat from Ferrari at times but in terms of results Mercedes have been even more dominant. The car has taken a step up and reliability has definitely been better and it is all down to great teamwork from everyone at our factory in Brackley, in Brixworth, and of course at Mercedes HQ in Stuttgart. To go away from an exceptional year in 2014 and come back and have an even more successful year in 2015 is an outstanding achievement and really shows how much strength in depth we have. I am incredibly proud of this team. In life, we tend to take things for granted - and I am as guilty of that as anyone else - but there are something like 1,200 people in this team and I take the responsibility of being part of the group that comes together on a race weekend to execute what they have worked for very seriously. It might look easy to people watching from the outside but it is impossible to overstate just how much hard work goes into what we do. There were times when I was at McLaren, when things were not going well, when I wondered whether that was the way it was always going to be for me in F1. It was a big step for me to leave and join this team and things have really come together for me. I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to be in this position. We come to Russia after the last race in Japan - and it would be hard to imagine two more contrasting tracks. The track here in Sochi is very flat, and a massive contrast to Suzuka, which is a real racing circuit, with elevation change, sweeping corners and so on. I like that there is a variety of circuits in F1, old and new, but I often wonder why we only have one designer of tracks. Sometimes I think when I retire I will start designing tracks myself and give Hermann Tilke some competition - I've raced and I know what drivers like in circuits. I feel that quite often the new generation of tracks don't grasp the true essence of F1. I know there are restrictions to do with safety and so on but the circuits often feel too calculated. I don't know how calculated Suzuka was but it feels like they found a great spot and went with the flow of the land. That makes a real difference. Too many of the new tracks have too little character. There are exceptions - Abu Dhabi, for example, and Austin - but this one does not stand out so much. But the area we are in - on the coast of the Black Sea, with mountains nearby - is absolutely stunning. You can follow Hamilton on Twitter,Facebook and you can see exclusive content on his website.

If it happens, it will be at the same point in the season as last year. It says a lot about the team that they are in this position despite our main rival being closer this year than last season. We have definitely felt the heat from Ferrari at times but in terms of results Mercedes have been even more dominant. The car has taken a step up and reliability has definitely been better and it is all down to great teamwork from everyone at our factory in Brackley, in Brixworth, and of course at Mercedes HQ in Stuttgart. To go away from an exceptional year in 2014 and come back and have an even more successful year in 2015 is an outstanding achievement and really shows how much strength in depth we have. I am incredibly proud of this team. In life, we tend to take things for granted - and I am as guilty of that as anyone else - but there are something like 1,200 people in this team and I take the responsibility of being part of the group that comes together on a race weekend to execute what they have worked for very seriously. It might look easy to people watching from the outside but it is impossible to overstate just how much hard work goes into what we do. There were times when I was at McLaren, when things were not going well, when I wondered whether that was the way it was always going to be for me in F1. It was a big step for me to leave and join this team and things have really come together for me. I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to be in this position. We come to Russia after the last race in Japan - and it would be hard to imagine two more contrasting tracks. The track here in Sochi is very flat, and a massive contrast to Suzuka, which is a real racing circuit, with elevation change, sweeping corners and so on. I like that there is a variety of circuits in F1, old and new, but I often wonder why we only have one designer of tracks. Sometimes I think when I retire I will start designing tracks myself and give Hermann Tilke some competition - I've raced and I know what drivers like in circuits. I feel that quite often the new generation of tracks don't grasp the true essence of F1. I know there are restrictions to do with safety and so on but the circuits often feel too calculated. I don't know how calculated Suzuka was but it feels like they found a great spot and went with the flow of the land. That makes a real difference. Too many of the new tracks have too little character. There are exceptions - Abu Dhabi, for example, and Austin - but this one does not stand out so much. But the area we are in - on the coast of the Black Sea, with mountains nearby - is absolutely stunning. You can follow Hamilton on Twitter,Facebook and you can see exclusive content on his website.

Add punctuation: The Local Government Association says councils are now providing temporary housing for 120,540 children with their families. It says the growth rate - equivalent to an extra secondary school's worth of children per month - is unsustainable. The government said the figures were a worry but still below the peak of 2006. Based on the latest figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government from March 2017, the figures show a net increase of 32,650 (37%) since the second quarter of 2014 - an average of 906 extra children every month - just 40 fewer than the number of pupils in the average secondary school. Councils say the net cost of providing temporary accommodation has tripled in the last three years, as the extra demand for places increases pressure on local government. And the LGA, which represents 350 councils in England, says councils need to be able to build more genuinely affordable homes and provide the support that reduces the risk of homelessness in the first place. This means councils being able to borrow to build and to keep 100% of the receipts of any home they sell to reinvest in new and existing housing. Council leaders are also calling for an adaption to the implementation of welfare reforms to reduce the risk of homelessness and for access to funding to provide settled accommodation for families that become homeless. Councillor Martin Tett, the association's housing spokesman, said: "Whilst the government's indication [that] it will explore ways to enable councils to build more homes is encouraging, these new homes can't appear overnight, and the demand is urgent. "Councils are working hard to tackle homelessness, with some truly innovative work around the country - and we now need the government to support this local effort by allowing councils to invest in building genuinely affordable homes and taking steps to adapt welfare reforms to ensure housing remains affordable for low-income families." The LGA sets out the lengths that councils are going to in order to tackle homelessness in their area in a new report. Examples include innovative modular housing, dynamic purchasing systems and offers of housing in private rented sector. A DCMG spokesman said: "We're clear that whilst temporary accommodation is vital in making sure that no family is without a roof over their head, councils have a responsibility to find secure good quality accommodation as quickly as possible. "This government is determined to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping - that's why we're investing £550m to help tackle the issue."

Add punctuation: The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it hoped to resolve the dispute during a round of talks, but noted that it had enforcement powers available should they fail. Google said it was taking its responsibilities seriously. The news comes exactly one year since the controversial ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Along with other search engines, the internet giant has been obliged to remove links to articles that contain "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information about an individual. Under the decision, the person named must make a request to have the links removed from the results for a specific search. Google has consistently said that it considers it a mistake to make it the arbiter in such cases, as the ruling effectively does. The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was discussing 48 cases it believed Google had not got "quite right" and has asked the internet giant to revise its decisions. The action available to the ICO, should the discussions over those cases fail, includes a fine and a legally binding enforcement notice that could lead to court action, if the firm refused to comply. But the body would only take such action if it found that Google's processes were not fit for purpose, rather than as a direct reaction to a single complaint. An ICO spokesman said: "Since the details of the right to be forgotten ruling were first announced, we have handled over 183 complaints from those unhappy with Google's response to their takedown request. "In around three-quarters of these cases, we have ruled that Google was correct to turn down an individual's request to have their information removed. This suggests that, for the most part, Google are getting the balance right between the protection of the individual's privacy and the interest of internet users." But, it said, there were still a "significant number of cases where we believe Google haven't got it quite right and they have been asked to revise their decision". While Google has done so in "many cases", the ICO said it was "looking to resolve the remaining cases through discussion and negotiation with Google, though we have enforcement powers available to us if required". A Google spokesman said: "We haven't always got privacy right in Europe, not just because of errors we've made, but our attitude too. But our swift and thoughtful implementation of the right to be forgotten ruling showed that for Google this was a genuine 'we get it' moment. "We've also worked hard to give users more control over the data we collect and we're looking at how to make those tools easier to find and use. So stay tuned." Free speech campaigners have claimed that the ruling makes it easier for people to hide negative - though fair and accurate - references to them online and there have been sites set up to track the links taken down. The BBC said in October 2014 that it would publish a list of its articles to which links have been taken down. A spokesman said on Wednesday that that remained its intention, though a decision on when and where to publish has not yet been taken. However, others have pointed out that the ruling helps people avoid bad news stories unfairly dominating the results of searches related to them. Google has said that it has received more than 250,000 requests to remove about 920,000 links, of which 41.3% have been removed from its search results, according to its transparency report. While the ruling only applies to European sites, the deputy information commissioner David Smith told the Times that he believed Google should remove links on its US domain as well. The ICO is also running a review of websites and apps used by children, it announced on Tuesday. It will look at how information collection is explained and what parental permission is sought on 50 websites and apps. It said: "The same approach will be taken by 28 other privacy enforcement authorities from around the world, with a view to publishing a combined report in the autumn. The ICO will also consider action against any website or app that it finds to be breaking the Data Protection Act."

Add punctuation: Johnny Hunt scored Wrexham's winning penalty after Sam Hatton and Richard Brodie missed kicks for Grimsby. Andy Cook had given Grimsby the lead, firing home after his first shot had been blocked by Chris Maxwell. But Kevin Thornton levelled from the spot after Dean Keates had been fouled to set up extra-time, which produced no further goals as the game ended 1-1. Wrexham fully deserved their victory after dominating against their Blue Square Bet Premier promotion rivals in front of a crowd of more than 35,000 fans. Defenders Aswad Thomas and Shaun Pearson both shrugged off injuries to take their places in the Grimsby line-up, while for Wrexham, captain Dean Keates returned from suspension to replace Joe Clarke and player-manager Andy Morrell started in place of Dele Adebola. The Mariners had the first meaningful attack with Johnny Hunt having to head away Marcus Marshall's teasing cross for a corner from which Frankie Artus' long-range effort cleared the crossbar. The game sprang into life when a two-footed challenge by Grimsby's Craig Disley on Keates provoked a reaction from the Wrexham players, but referee Jon Moss took no action against Disley, deeming a Wrexham free-kick to be sufficient. The Welsh side then enjoyed a good spell, with Jay Harris capitalising on a poor ball by Ian Miller and avoiding three challenges before firing over the bar from the edge of the penalty area. Marshall, who was proving to be a real threat for Grimsby, had a chance with a header and Harris scuffed a shot wide after receiving the ball from Thornton. Grimsby did venture forward in response, but more often than not their forays into the penalty area were quickly halted by Wrexham's defenders and a disappointing first half ended goalless. Goalkeeper James McKeown was almost punished for a slip soon after the restart but recovered well to deny Morrell, but Wrexham should have gone in front two minutes later when Danny Wright missed a gilt-edged opportunity from six yards following Stephen Wright's corner. Cook curled a shot wide for Grimsby, although the assistant referee had already flagged for offside, and Wrexham's Brett Ormerod, a Wembley winner with Blackpool in 2010, then headed over the crossbar from Hunt's cross. Wrexham looked the more likely to break the deadlock, but it was Grimsby who did so on 70 minutes when Joe Colbeck's pull-back set up Cook, who although denied initially by Maxwell, smashed home the rebound from close range. Man of the match Westwood and substitute Adrian Cieslewicz, who replaced Morrell, went close before Wrexham were awarded a penalty after Keates was tripped by Shaun Pearson in the area. Thornton stepped up to take the kick and sent McKeown the wrong way to level the scores with nine minutes of normal time remaining. The equaliser gave Wrexham renewed confidence and McKeown palmed away a Harris free-kick, which proved to be the final chance of note during the 90 minutes. Cieslewicz was twice denied by McKeown during the first period of extra-time as Wrexham went in search of a winner. They had the momentum going into the final 15 minute although Colbeck flashed a low effort wide from long range before the dangerous Cieslewicz was again denied by a fine save from the excellent McKeown, who followed that by touching a Danny Wright volley onto the post. The teams could not be separated at the end of 120 minutes and penalties were needed for only the second time in history of FA Trophy finals. Cieslewicz, Danny Wright, Westwood all found the net for Wrexham, but Hatton hit the post with Grimsby's first effort and Brodie blazed over. Joe Colbeck kept his head to open Grimsby's account but it was too little, too late as the responsibility for Wrexham's fourth penalty fell to 22-year-old Hunt and he converted confidently to secure the trophy for the north Wales club. Grimsby Town joint boss Rob Scott told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "That was a big disappointment for everybody. I think once you get into the territory of penalties, then it is a lottery. "I'm sure people will be sat there saying 'why did you let him take that penalty', but you can't replicate what we had today. "It's not the case that we haven't practised penalties; we knew who our penalty takers would be before it got to that stage. "I can't lay the blame at anyone's door for missing a penalty, it's just one of those things."

Add punctuation: Ramsey has not played since injuring his hamstring while playing for Arsenal in their opening-day Premier League defeat by Liverpool on 14 August. The initial estimate was three weeks, but the 25-year-old will miss Wales' 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Austria and Georgia in October. "The disappointment is we expected him to be here," said Coleman. "I had an indication that he would only be out for three weeks when he initially did it. That was six weeks ago - so I don't know now. "I have had more information from Sean [Connelly], our head physio who is liaising with Arsenal, that he has broken down in training. We have not yet been given a date on when he will definitely be back." Ramsey missed Wales' 4-0 win over Moldova in their opening World Cup qualifier in September. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said the former Cardiff City midfielder would be "back after the [September] international break" but Coleman says he may now even be a doubt for Wales' match against Serbia in November. "I was sure in the last camp I would have him for this camp," said Coleman. "It's a huge disappointment not to have Rambo. That's 30% of the campaign without one of our best players. If you take him out of any team, it will have an impact." Before Wales' opening victory against Moldova, Coleman had said Ramsey's injury for Arsenal could "possibly" have been prevented. His comments revived a disagreement he had with Wenger over Ramsey last year, where the roles were effectively reversed. Asked about Ramsey's current injury, Coleman again feels his lengthy absence might have been avoided. "It is frustrating. It is preventables. I don't know the exact history of what he has been doing the last six weeks," he added. "Our physio will get more information, so it is hard to comment on whether he was pushed too hard or not enough. "Could that have been prevented in the way he was looked after when he got back from the tournament? I don't know. But you cant help but think, if only."

Add punctuation: The star said he was "very chuffed" about his knighthood, which was first reported in the press last weekend. Over the course of five-decade career, he has survived occasional criticism without forfeiting the affection of the British public. Born to Jamaican parents on 29 August 1958 in the West Midlands town of Dudley, Lenworth George Henry shot to fame in 1975 aged just 17 after appearing on the TV talent show New Faces. His winning performance led to the comedy series The Fosters and the anarchic children's show Tiswas, where he started to forge his own energetic and spontaneous comedy style. However, his next career move was to haunt him for many years. He joined the Black and White Minstrel Show, in which "blacked up" white entertainers sang songs from the American South - a concept which has since been much ridiculed and reviled. The comedian spent five years touring with the show, which he has since called a "grotesque parody of black people". "I sort of wish it had never happened, but I don't regret that I did it," he told The Telegraph last year. "Although it was a weird, reprehensible position to be in, I was working in huge venues and learning how to work a crowd." His escape route was the BBC sketch series Three of a Kind, which also starred Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield. First broadcast in 1981, it used state-of-the-art video effects and Ceefax-style graphics to deliver a fast-paced, gag-filled show - although many of its idiosyncrasies seem dated today. At the same time, the alternative comedy scene was heating up, and through TV producer Paul Jackson, Henry met the cutting-edge comedians of the Comic Strip team - one of whom was Dawn French. At first, French was critical of the comedian's manner and the stand-up routines he still used to make a living, which had evolved in northern working men's clubs. He would wipe sweat from his forehead and say it tasted like chocolate - or threaten to move next door to hecklers if they did not shut up. But, despite their first impressions, the couple warmed to each other, eventually marrying in 1984 at St Paul's Church in London's Covent Garden. At the same time, Henry's political views began to mature. He refused to judge a Miss Blackpool beauty contest in 1984, saying it was degrading to women. His TV career progressed fast with BBC One's The Lenny Henry Show, and later The Delbert Wilkins Show. As a charity fundraiser, he also co-founded Comic Relief in 1985, which has raised more than £1bn over the past three decades. 1993's Chef! was another successful BBC One vehicle - but behind the scenes Henry was trying to nurture new black comedy talent, helping to set up BBC Two's The Real McCoy sketch show. He also began to take on more serious roles. Hope and Glory, in which Henry played an embattled head teacher, first aired on BBC One in 1999 while other projects included White Goods, Alive And Kicking and The Man. He also co-created, with Neil Gaiman, and produced the 1996 BBC drama serial Neverwhere. In 2009, he turned his attention to the stage, appearing in the title role of Northern Broadsides production of Othello at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. It transferred to London and earned Sir Lenny the title of best newcomer at the London Evening Standard theatre awards. In 2010, the star's 25-year marriage ended in divorce. Soon after, his older brother Hylton lost his wife and two children, to cancer and TB. Sir Lenny said the "cataclysmic" deaths helped put his own life in perspective and reassert his love for his family. He threw himself into work and, in 2011, followed up his Othello role with a debut at the Royal National Theatre in London, playing Antipholus of Ephesus in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. His reputation as a serious actor was cemented in 2014, with a best actor title at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for his lead performance in Fences. In recent years, Sir Lenny has become an outspoken critic of British television's lack of ethnic diversity in its programming. "I'm used to being the only black person wherever I go," he said. "There was never a black or Asian director when I went to the BBC. Eventually I thought 'where are they all?' I spent a lot of time on my own. "Things have changed a bit, but rarely at the BBC do I meet anyone of colour in a position of power." During a speech at Bafta in March 2014, he called the lack of minorities "appalling," and he has continued to raise the issue publicly. On learning of his knighthood, the star said his "mum would have absolutely been chuffed" - and admitted to being bowled over himself. "It was lovely, it was a lovely feeling, it was like being filled with lemonade for 10 or 15 minutes," he told BBC Radio 2.

He joined the Black and White Minstrel Show, in which "blacked up" white entertainers sang songs from the American South - a concept which has since been much ridiculed and reviled. The comedian spent five years touring with the show, which he has since called a "grotesque parody of black people". "I sort of wish it had never happened, but I don't regret that I did it," he told The Telegraph last year. "Although it was a weird, reprehensible position to be in, I was working in huge venues and learning how to work a crowd." His escape route was the BBC sketch series Three of a Kind, which also starred Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield. First broadcast in 1981, it used state-of-the-art video effects and Ceefax-style graphics to deliver a fast-paced, gag-filled show - although many of its idiosyncrasies seem dated today. At the same time, the alternative comedy scene was heating up, and through TV producer Paul Jackson, Henry met the cutting-edge comedians of the Comic Strip team - one of whom was Dawn French. At first, French was critical of the comedian's manner and the stand-up routines he still used to make a living, which had evolved in northern working men's clubs. He would wipe sweat from his forehead and say it tasted like chocolate - or threaten to move next door to hecklers if they did not shut up. But, despite their first impressions, the couple warmed to each other, eventually marrying in 1984 at St Paul's Church in London's Covent Garden. At the same time, Henry's political views began to mature. He refused to judge a Miss Blackpool beauty contest in 1984, saying it was degrading to women. His TV career progressed fast with BBC One's The Lenny Henry Show, and later The Delbert Wilkins Show. As a charity fundraiser, he also co-founded Comic Relief in 1985, which has raised more than £1bn over the past three decades. 1993's Chef! was another successful BBC One vehicle - but behind the scenes Henry was trying to nurture new black comedy talent, helping to set up BBC Two's The Real McCoy sketch show. He also began to take on more serious roles. Hope and Glory, in which Henry played an embattled head teacher, first aired on BBC One in 1999 while other projects included White Goods, Alive And Kicking and The Man. He also co-created, with Neil Gaiman, and produced the 1996 BBC drama serial Neverwhere. In 2009, he turned his attention to the stage, appearing in the title role of Northern Broadsides production of Othello at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. It transferred to London and earned Sir Lenny the title of best newcomer at the London Evening Standard theatre awards. In 2010, the star's 25-year marriage ended in divorce. Soon after, his older brother Hylton lost his wife and two children, to cancer and TB. Sir Lenny said the "cataclysmic" deaths helped put his own life in perspective and reassert his love for his family. He threw himself into work and, in 2011, followed up his Othello role with a debut at the Royal National Theatre in London, playing Antipholus of Ephesus in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. His reputation as a serious actor was cemented in 2014, with a best actor title at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for his lead performance in Fences. In recent years, Sir Lenny has become an outspoken critic of British television's lack of ethnic diversity in its programming. "I'm used to being the only black person wherever I go," he said. "There was never a black or Asian director when I went to the BBC. Eventually I thought 'where are they all?' I spent a lot of time on my own. "Things have changed a bit, but rarely at the BBC do I meet anyone of colour in a position of power." During a speech at Bafta in March 2014, he called the lack of minorities "appalling," and he has continued to raise the issue publicly. On learning of his knighthood, the star said his "mum would have absolutely been chuffed" - and admitted to being bowled over himself. "It was lovely, it was a lovely feeling, it was like being filled with lemonade for 10 or 15 minutes," he told BBC Radio 2.

Add punctuation: Mido Macia was killed in 2013 when officers tied him to the back of a police van by his arms before driving off. He was found in a pool of blood in police custody. Judge Bert Bam called the killing "barbaric" but acknowledged that it was not premeditated. Sentencing the men, aged between 25 and 56, Mr Bam said: "The continuous conduct of the accused concerning the injuries on the deceased was barbaric and totally inexplicable. "What made their conduct more reprehensible was their cowardly attack in the cell on a defenceless and already seriously injured man." A lawyer for the former officers said they would appeal against the murder conviction. The sentencing of these officers sends a message that police brutality will not be tolerated by the judiciary, following several recent cases. Judge Bert Bam sent a clear and unambiguous message that while the police are facing an onslaught from ruthless criminals - more than 60 police officers have been killed on duty this year alone - they cannot take the law into their own hands. Another important factor here was the power of video material which is increasingly used as evidence in court. No-one knows what would have happened if a bystander had not filmed Mido Macia being dragged behind a police vehicle with both his hands tied up. He was later found in a pool of blood in a holding cell. There is huge public opinion support for the police as they try hard to keep communities safe against gun-toting thugs. However the people of Daveyton and indeed all South Africans will now be reassured that the rule of law prevails, even against the police. Police pulled over 27-year-old Mr Macia in February 2013 after he allegedly parked a vehicle illegally in Daveyton, east of Johannesburg. Following a struggle, they overpowered the driver before handcuffing him to the back of a vehicle. He was later assaulted in his cell and died from head injuries and internal bleeding. The incident was filmed by a bystander and caused outrage among rights groups.

Add punctuation: The incident took place at about noon on Friday at the Post Office on Main Street, Balerno, when a four-figure sum of euros and a three-figure sum of sterling were stolen. The 26-year-old is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday. Police Scotland said they were still seeking two men in connection with the robbery. They are urging anyone who has information which can help with their inquiries to get in touch. Det Ch Insp Martin Maclean added: "In particular, we are eager to speak to members of the public who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously around Balerno before or after the robbery, in particular around a beige or golden Renault people carrier-style car. "Also, anyone who may have seen two men acting suspiciously near to the Prison Officers' Club at Longstone roundabout, or on the nearby path to Stenhouse, shortly after the robbery." In a separate development, police have charged a 34-year-old man in connection with an attempted armed robbery at a convenience store in the Restalrig area of Edinburgh on 13 February. He is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.

Add punctuation: The rules say that blocking the cash is only possible if 25% of the parliament's 751 MEPs, from at least three political groups, request it. Critics call the Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF) a "neo-Nazi" movement. German MEP Manfred Weber, head of the main centre-right group, is one of those who wants the funding stopped. The European Parliament's records from January show €400,000 granted to the APF and €197,625 to an APF foundation, called Europa Terra Nostra. The APF was launched in 2015. Its deputy chairman is Nick Griffin, formerly an MEP who led the British National Party (BNP). An Italian veteran of the far-right, Roberto Fiore, chairs the alliance. He was convicted in absentia in 1985 for links to NAR, a fascist group blamed over the 1980 Bologna train station bombing, which killed 85 people. He now leads a party called Forza Nuova (New Force). Another deputy to Mr Fiore is Artemis Matthaiopoulos from Greece's Golden Dawn, an anti-immigrant party which sports Nazi-style symbols. Party members have been accused of serious crimes including murder, and some went on trial last year. The APF also embraces the German National Democratic Party (NPD), whose leader Udo Voigt is an MEP. Germany's Constitutional Court is considering whether to ban the NPD. Nationalist surge challenges Europe A source at the parliament told the BBC that grants to European parties were usually transferred at the end of March, and "should money have been paid unduly, it will need to be reimbursed". If enough MEPs object, a parliamentary committee will assess whether the APF acts in accordance with EU principles, namely "liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law". As head of the powerful European People's Party (EPP) group Manfred Weber should be able to get the required 25% of MEPs united against the grant, the source said. Last month Mr Weber wrote to other parliamentary group leaders and Parliament President Martin Schulz, saying there should be no such EU support for "some of the most radical and militant right-wing extremist parties". Similar complaints against the APF were made by MEPs Marita Ulvskog (Sweden) and Daniele Viotti (Italy). In its programme the APF says it stands for "promoting our common Christian values" and giving a voice to citizens who are "alienated from the democratic process" in the EU. The APF has forged links with officials close to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has condemned Nato, alleging that Western politicians are fomenting "Russophobia". The far-right grouping expressed solidarity with Serbian nationalists commemorating the 1999 Nato bombing of Serbia. "The memories of the many innocent victims of Nato missiles and of the Islamist death squads of Albanians and Arab Jihadis in Kosovo are still raw," it said on Facebook. Mr Griffin, who was expelled by the BNP in 2014, argues that Western leaders are fulfilling a "neo-con/Zionist" agenda, which helps Israel.

Add punctuation: A company in Iruma, near Tokyo, has developed a tagging system for members of the public at risk of getting lost. The 1cm (0.4in) square stickers hold an address, telephone number and unique identity number for each user. The free service, launched this month, is a first for Japan. The initiative, which uses a system of QR codes, was set up to help reunite family members with their elderly loved ones in the event that they go missing, according to the Iruma welfare office. The technology allows police to obtain details of a person's local city hall, along with contact telephone numbers and personal details, simply by scanning the code. An official told the AFP news agency that this new method was a "great advantage". "There are already ID stickers for clothes or shoes but dementia patients are not always wearing those items." The water-resistant stickers, which remain attached for an average of two weeks, can be more discreet than other items such as badges as they can be attached to toenails and worn beneath socks. Japan is facing an ageing population, with more than a quarter of its citizens aged 65 or over. This is set to increase to 40% by 2055, with the population expected to shrink from the current 127 million to 90 million.

Add punctuation: Themes range from jewellery inspired by urban graffiti to laser etchings illustrating the progress of dementia. Thousands of visitors are expected at the 10-day degree show, which opens to the public on Saturday following its traditional preview evening. The university said the event generated more than £1.5m for the local economy. The show takes place throughout the college of art and design's two buildings and 14 floors. One of the students exhibiting is Amy Crawford, who is unveiling her work six weeks after she almost died from sepsis. The college's previous alumni include fashion designer Hayley Scanlan, illustrator Johanna Basford and Star Wars animator Matt Cameron. College Dean, Prof Paul Harris, said: "It is hard to describe how exciting and vibrant a time this is for everyone involved. "The buzz has been building for months and the students who have poured their heart and soul into their work over several years are reaching the end of their undergraduate careers." Despite representing the culmination of years of work, Prof Harris said the show was "far from the end" of the students' journey into art and design. He said: "They may become practising artists or they may go on to work in film, games and animation studios. "They might find themselves working with some of the world's largest tech companies or leading the next big start-ups. "They may go on to do something completely different but we are confident that what they have learned in their years here will stand them in good stead, regardless of which field they choose to work in."

Mr Costa Pereira was an activist with the Landless Workers Movement (MST). He frequently demonstrated in support of land reform in Brazil. The MST wrote in a statement that it was "with immense sadness that we mourn his death" adding that the group stood "in solidarity with his wife, children and all his family in this moment of pain". Mr Costa Pereira had been a member of the MST since 1996, participating in protests organised in favour of the redistribution of agricultural land. The MST supports labourers in disputes with landowners by staging protests and land invasions demanding better conditions for farmers. Violent disputes over land are common in Brazil. According to the Pastoral Land Commission, a non-governmental organisation in Brazil, 61 land rights activists were killed last year, the highest level since 2003. Remote rural communities frequently complain to the authorities that Brazil's security forces are rarely present to intervene in rows between powerful land owners and landless farmers.

Add punctuation: Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said London had changed in the past 10 years and the Metropolitan Police had "not been able to keep up with that diversity". This year 79 of the 311 new recruits are BME. In total, 13% of the Met's total police workforce is non-white. The Met Police Federation said BME officers should also be rising in rank. The Met said the number of BME (black and minority ethnicity) officers in the force rose from 3,163 in 2013 to 4,033 at the end of August. It said last year it had a record 28% of new recruits from minority backgrounds, compared to 16% the previous year. Both Sir Bernard and the mayor have said more needs to be done to improve diversity in the force and will consult lawyers to seek a legal path. "Targeted recruitment, introducing a London-residency criteria and second-language recruitment campaigns" ensured diversity, the force said. Sir Bernard said: "The problem in London is that for years two-thirds of the police officers we recruited came from outside London. "But London changed so much over the last 10 years, a million people arrived, but we have not been able to keep up with that diversity, so what we see now is better recruitment in terms of representation." London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: "This is not about tokenism but about building trust and respect between our vital police force and all Londoners. He said the force needed to "look like the communities it is charged with keeping safe". John Partington, equalities lead officer for the Metropolitan Police Federation, said recruitment was "just the first stage". "Many will look for promotion and it is important that we do get the right numbers of BME officers at every level and that will make us a truly representative organisation and fit for purpose for London," he said.

Add punctuation: The Internet Party was a "movement for the freedom of the internet and technology, for privacy and political reform", the tycoon said. New Zealand goes to the polls in September. Mr Dotcom is fighting extradition to the US over charges of copyright infringement on a "massive scale". To enter parliament, the Internet Party must win an electoral seat or secure 5% of the vote. One suggestion was that he could align with an existing party, but his most likely ally earlier this week cast doubt on that plan. On its website, the party said that it would "give you faster, cheaper internet, create high-tech jobs, protect your privacy and safeguard our independence". It also promised to introduce "a New Zealand-sponsored digital currency that is safe, secure and encrypted". Mr Dotcom was arrested at his mansion near Auckland, New Zealand, in January 2012. As well as MegaUpload being shut down, Mr Dotcom's assets were frozen. But later scrutiny of the raid led to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key apologising to Mr Dotcom for what were described as "basic errors" by intelligence services in collecting information on behalf of the US. US authorities accuse him of earning more than $175m (£106m) by facilitating the distribution of pirated copies of movies, TV shows and other content. Kim Dotcom denies any wrongdoing. In January 2013, a year after the closure of MegaUpload, he set up Mega, which also allows users to host and share large files on the internet. Earlier this week, he announced plans to list his new file-sharing firm on the New Zealand stock market. He also caused controversy this week by admitting he owned a signed copy of Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf. But the internet entrepreneur said he was "totally against" the Nazis and pointed out he also owned objects that had belonged to Churchill and Stalin.

Add punctuation: The US state department said it was not "a viable deal" while the UN ambassador said North Korea was not "rational". China's suggestion came after North Korea launched four ballistic missiles, breaking international sanctions. Meanwhile the US has begun deploying a missile defence shield in South Korea. It is also conducting its annual large-scale drills with the South Korean military, which routinely infuriate North Korea. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday that the security situation on the Korean peninsula was like "two accelerating trains, coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way". A mutual halt of military operations by all parties would be the first step towards easing tensions and reopening negotiations, he said. But US state department spokesman Mark Toner said this was like comparing "apples and oranges". "What we're doing in terms of our defence co-operation with South Korea is in no way comparable to the blatant disregard that North Korea has shown with respect to international law." But he said the US needed to look for new strategies on North Korea. "All of the efforts we have taken thus far to attempt to persuade North Korea to engage in meaningful negotiations have fallen short, to be honest," he said. "So we need to look at new ways to convince them, to persuade them, that it's in their interests." The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Wednesday, having issued a stronger than usual condemnation of the latest North Korean test. It accused North Korea of "increasingly destabilising behaviour" which risked sparking a regional arms race. The US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley later told reporters that "all options were on the table" regarding North Korea. But she said that the world was "not dealing with a rational person" when it came to the North Korean leader. "It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time," she said. Ms Haley also repeated US assurances that the installation of the US-made Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad) in South - to shoot down missile attacks from the North - was not a threat to China. China has been angered by the system, as it believes its powerful radar will enable the US to monitor its military activities too. Ms Haley said the US was "not going to leave South Korea standing there with the threat of North Korea facing them and not help". Japan and South Korea also rejected the idea of a deal with North Korea. What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have? 1. The enemy launches a missile 2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control 3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile 4. The interceptor missile is fired at the enemy projectile 5. The enemy projectile is destroyed in the terminal phase of flight The launcher trucks can hold up to eight interceptor missiles.

The US state department said it was not "a viable deal" while the UN ambassador said North Korea was not "rational". China's suggestion came after North Korea launched four ballistic missiles, breaking international sanctions. Meanwhile the US has begun deploying a missile defence shield in South Korea. It is also conducting its annual large-scale drills with the South Korean military, which routinely infuriate North Korea. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday that the security situation on the Korean peninsula was like "two accelerating trains, coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way". A mutual halt of military operations by all parties would be the first step towards easing tensions and reopening negotiations, he said. But US state department spokesman Mark Toner said this was like comparing "apples and oranges". "What we're doing in terms of our defence co-operation with South Korea is in no way comparable to the blatant disregard that North Korea has shown with respect to international law." But he said the US needed to look for new strategies on North Korea. "All of the efforts we have taken thus far to attempt to persuade North Korea to engage in meaningful negotiations have fallen short, to be honest," he said. "So we need to look at new ways to convince them, to persuade them, that it's in their interests." The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Wednesday, having issued a stronger than usual condemnation of the latest North Korean test. It accused North Korea of "increasingly destabilising behaviour" which risked sparking a regional arms race. The US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley later told reporters that "all options were on the table" regarding North Korea. But she said that the world was "not dealing with a rational person" when it came to the North Korean leader. "It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time," she said. Ms Haley also repeated US assurances that the installation of the US-made Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad) in South - to shoot down missile attacks from the North - was not a threat to China. China has been angered by the system, as it believes its powerful radar will enable the US to monitor its military activities too.

Add punctuation: A seven-game unbeaten run, which ended with a 1-0 loss at Dungannon on Monday, has helped Warrenpoint close to within a point of their opponents. Carrick have two games in hand but Warrenpoint manager Barry Gray hopes they can put the pressure on. "Psychologically it would be massive if we could go ahead of them," said Gray. "Games in hand are one thing, but I'd rather have points on the board and even if we could get off the bottom of the table for a week or two, or a game or two, it would give everyone a massive lift." Warrenpoint defender Liam Bagnall is available after a two-game suspension to face Carrick, who were 1-0 winners over Crumlin Star in Monday's Irish Cup sixth round tie. Despite seeing their unbeaten streak come to an end with a 1-0 defeat to Dungannon Swifts, Gray is happy with how his team played. "It wasn't a setback because we performed quite well," he said.

Add punctuation: A combination of natural hormone changes and greater use of screen-based technology means many are not getting enough sleep. Research has suggested teenagers need nine hours' sleep to function properly. "Sleep is fundamentally important but despite this it's been largely ignored as part of our biology," said Russell Foster, Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at Oxford University. "Within the context of teenagers, here we have a classic example where sleep could enhance enormously the quality of life and, indeed, the educational performance of our young people. "Yet they're given no instruction about the importance of sleep and sleep is a victim to the many other demands that are being made of them." At One Level Up, an internet cafe and gaming centre in Glasgow, I found a group of young people who are used to very late nights. "There's things called 'grinds' which we have on Saturdays which are an all-nighter until 10 in the morning," said 17-year-old Jack Barclay. "We go home, sleep till 8pm at night and then do the exact same thing again. I like staying up." Fourteen-year-old Rachel admitted occasionally falling asleep in class because she stayed up late at night playing computer games. "If it's a game that will save easily I'll go to bed when my mum says, 'OK you should probably get some rest', but if it's a game where you have to go to a certain point to save I'll be like, 'five more minutes!' and then an hour later 'five more minutes!', and it does mess up your sleeping pattern. "For me it takes me about an hour to get to sleep and I'm lying there staring into nothing thinking 'I'm going to play THAT part of the game tomorrow and I'm going to play THAT part of the game the next day." Research has shown that teenagers naturally veer towards later bedtimes and are later to rise in the morning, possibly because of the hormonal changes that occur during puberty. However Prof Foster said electronic equipment accentuated this natural night-owl behaviour. He explained: "The data that's emerging suggests that these computer screens and gaming devices may well have a big effect in increasing levels of alertness. "That will make it harder to get to sleep after you've stopped playing. "The great problem with teenagers is that you're not only biologically programmed to go to bed late and get up late, but there's also many attractions like gaming and Facebook and texting and many teenagers are doing this into the early hours of the morning and delaying sleep even further." Psychologist Jane Ansell set up the charity Sleep Scotland to help children with special needs establish good sleeping patterns. However an increasing amount of the charity's workload is now spent working in mainstream schools with teenagers. "People were being sent to me and were generally being diagnosed with Aspergers, and a lot were being diagnosed as ADHD," she said. "I felt the first thing we had to do was to work out a sleep programme for them so that they weren't sleep deprived. Once they weren't sleep deprived, some no longer had ADHD symptoms because the symptoms of hyperactivity and sleep deprivation are pretty similar. "I'm not saying they were all free of ADHD but it is a common mistake." Her pilot studies in three Scottish schools suggested 52% of teenagers were sleep deprived, and about 20% reported falling asleep in class at least once in the last two weeks. While many teenagers have received exam grades over the summer, Ms Ansell said most of them did not realise that a healthy sleeping pattern could have improved their performance. She added: "We have probably not understood how important sleep is. "It affects your growth, and especially things like memory consolidation. "If you don't have enough sleep your short term memory doesn't consolidate into your long term memory which is going to affect your school grades." You can hear more about sleep deprivation in teenagers in The Slumber Games, a special investigation for BBC Radio Scotland, on Monday at 13:30. It will also be available on the BBC iPlayer.

Add punctuation: It worked. He managed to walk pass the Azeri police that guard the embassy and was admitted onto foreign soil. For over six months, the whereabouts of Emin Huseynov, a prominent human rights campaigner, were unknown, until the Swiss broadcaster SRF broke the news last week that the country's embassy in Baku had been sheltering him since August 2014. The Swiss foreign ministry has confirmed that an Azeri national has been allowed to stay at the embassy on humanitarian grounds and in a statement said that Switzerland was negotiating with the Azeri authorities to resolve the issue "in the interest of the individual". Mr Huseynov, the founder of the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS), a non-governmental organisation monitoring rights violations against journalists, is accused by the Azeri government of tax evasion and abuse of power. Similar charges have been brought against a number of other civil society activists - charges that rights groups describe as "bogus". Like most pro-democracy NGOs, Mr Huseynov's IRFS was under surveillance by the Azeri security services. Activists like Mr Huseynov and others currently in detention - such as Rasul Jafarov, human rights lawyer Intigam Aliyev, Leyla and Arif Yunus, and Anar Mammadli - have for years openly criticised their government, raising awareness of human rights abuses in the oil and gas-rich country. They have earned recognition for their work from the international community. But Azeri officials, such as President Ilham Aliyev's chief adviser Ramiz Mehdiyev, have branded them "traitors". The most recent victim of the government's campaign to silence its critics is the investigative reporter Khadija Ismaylova, known for her corruption investigations into the financial schemes of Azerbaijan's president and his family. In December 2014, she was charged with inciting a man to commit suicide. Last week, she was additionally charged with embezzlement, tax evasion and abuse of power. Her colleagues, whom I met in December in Baku, described her detention as an attempt to silence her. "By arresting Khadija, the government is sending a message to journalists and to the public in general that those who fight for truth and free speech, those who fight for their rights, will be arrested." said Kamran Mahmudov, who briefly stood in for Ms Ismaylova on her popular radio talk-show on US-funded Radio Liberty. A few weeks after this interview, the authorities raided the offices of Radio Liberty and took the station off air. Still in his pyjamas, Kamran Mahmudov was dragged out of his home by the police and taken for questioning. The closure of one of the few remaining independent voices in Azeri media was criticised by the US State Department, the EU and several human rights organisations. According to the New-York based Committee to Protect Journalists, Azerbaijan is the leading jailer of journalists in Europe and Central Asia. However, the government insists that all the charges against journalists and civil society activists are legitimate. "No one is prosecuted in Azerbaijan based on his or her professional activities or political beliefs," said Hikmat Hajiyev, a spokesman for Azerbaijan's foreign affairs ministry. "Khadija Ismaylova has been engaged in journalistic activities for more than 10 years and could write different stories. Now there is a real criminal case based on the criminal code of Azerbaijan," he added. "It is so unfortunate that the human rights issue is being politicised, and certain groups and circles under the pretext of human rights are trying to interfere in the internal affairs of Azerbaijan." President Aliyev pardoned 87 prisoners shortly before the new year, among them two journalists and two members of a pro-democracy youth movement. But most of the activists, journalists and lawyers detained remain behind bars. They face long prison terms if found guilty of their charges. Human rights lawyer Intigam Aliyev, who has taken several hundred cases - ranging from violating rights to freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial - to the European Court of Human Rights, is now on trial himself, with his hearing set to resume on February 17. The Kurdakhany detention facility on the outskirts of Baku, where he is being held, has been dubbed "the university" because most of the bright minds deemed a threat to the state are being held there. Shortly after visiting him in December, his son, Necmin, wanted to deliver a message from his father to the outside world. "In today's Azerbaijan defending human rights is a crime," he said. "He and his friends are paying the price for doing just that."

Add punctuation: The image was taken on New Year's Day from a remotely operated telescope at Aberystwyth University. The lunar impact flash - an explosion of light caused by something hitting the Moon's surface - was corroborated by a team of Italian astronomers. Dr Tony Cook said the flashes were "notoriously difficult to record". Dr Cook, who captured the image, said: "The meteorite would be travelling at anywhere between 10 to 70km (6 to 43miles) per second as it hit the surface of the Moon. "That is the equivalent of travelling from Aberystwyth to Cardiff in just a few seconds, and the resulting impact would be over in a fraction of a second." It was recorded on the southern hemisphere of the Moon and scientists believe it was probably caused by a small meteorite the size of a golf ball hitting the surface. The first confirmed recordings of lunar impact flashes were by amateur astronomers in the United States during the Leonid meteor shower of November 1999. "A similar meteorite hitting the Earth's atmosphere would produce a beautiful shooting star, but as the Moon has no atmosphere it slams into the surface, causing a crater the size of very large pot hole," Dr Cook added. "Just under 1% of the meteorite's energy is converted into a flash of light, which we were able to record here in Aberystwyth."

Add punctuation: Two minutes before the break, Yeovil went close as Akpa Akpro's goalbound effort was superbly blocked by Dean Wells. But the forward did get his name on the scoresheet on the stroke of half-time as he volleyed home Otis Khan's cross. Stevenage were level eight minutes after half-time when McQuoid tapped home from close-range after a corner was not cleared. Boro were on top and Steve Schumacher then forced Jonny Maddison into a good low save before the Yeovil goalkeeper parried Jobi McAnuff's powerful drive. At the other end, Akpro robbed Jack King of the ball before squaring it to Francois Zoko, but the striker's flicked finish crept agonisingly wide.

Two minutes before the break, Yeovil went close as Akpa Akpro's goalbound effort was superbly blocked by Dean Wells. But the forward did get his name on the scoresheet on the stroke of half-time as he volleyed home Otis Khan's cross. Stevenage were level eight minutes after half-time when McQuoid tapped home from close-range after a corner was not cleared. Boro were on top and Steve Schumacher then forced Jonny Maddison into a good low save before the Yeovil goalkeeper parried Jobi McAnuff's powerful drive. At the other end, Akpro robbed Jack King of the ball before squaring it to Francois Zoko, but the striker's flicked finish crept agonisingly wide. Tom Pett's shot was parried as Stevenage searched for a winner.

Add punctuation: A Moscow court ruled Golos had failed to declare itself as a "foreign agent" after receiving funds from abroad after the law took effect in November. It was fined the sum of 300,000 roubles (£6,200; $9,500; 6,300 euros). The NGO said it had returned the money - a prize for its human rights work - as soon as it entered its account. It also denied being involved in political activity. It says it will appeal against the verdict. Golos, which received assistance in the past from the US government development agency USAID, insists it no longer accepts foreign funding. By Daniel SandfordBBC News, Moscow When Golos became the first Russian NGO to be fined under the controversial "foreign agent" law, nobody was very surprised. From the start many in the Russian opposition felt that Golos was the main target of the law. The NGO's election monitoring in the last two years has caused huge embarrassment to the government, as they exposed the huge level of electoral fraud in Russia. The organisation always admitted receiving funding from the US and the EU but when the new law came in, saying that any organisation involved in politics that received foreign funding should register as a "foreign agent", Golos said it had walked away from its foreign funding. Even after today's judgment Golos insisted it was not involved in political activities and it did not receive money from overseas. Now in its 13th year, the NGO did much to expose fraud at the 2011 parliamentary election, when it charted abuses across Russia, notably through its online "map of violations". The accusation concerned a sum of 7,728.4 euros awarded by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee as part of its Andrei Sakharov Freedom prize. Golos says the money entered one of its accounts in December before it had time to decline it, and the sum was later returned unused. It accused the Russian justice ministry of "rushing to conclusions". "The Golos association receives no foreign funding and is funded solely by Russian resources," it said in a recent statement. Under the new law, NGOs involved in political activity which are funded from abroad must register as "foreign agents". Presenting the case on Thursday, the justice ministry's representative did not specify what political activity Golos was suspected of conducting, the Russian news website lenta.ru reports. "We are convinced of our innocence," Golos said before the verdict. "This is the first court hearing bringing to responsibility an organisation that is purportedly a foreign agent. The fate of many other NGOs will depend on the decision." Tax inspectors have been scrutinising the finances of other Russian NGOs in recent months. USAID was expelled from Russia in September after being accused of attempting to "influence political processes through its grants", which had totalled $3bn.

Add punctuation: FCA chairman John Griffith-Jones and acting chief executive Tracey McDermott have been asked to appear before the Treasury Select Committee. Andrew Tyrie, the committee's chairman, told the BBC that the city watchdog's decision to halt the inquiry was "odd". The FCA said it would now work with individual banks on improving conduct. The report into the culture that drives behaviour in the banking industry was billed as an important piece of work, and was presented as part of its annual business plan. When it shelved the inquiry last month, the FCA said it remained committed to helping improve culture and behaviour, but wanted to work individually, directly and privately with the banks. Mr Tyrie told the BBC that it was important that banks and regulators were held to account for their supervision of an industry which took billions of taxpayers money during the financial crisis and had been found guilty of a string of misconduct scandals. The decision to drop the inquiry was just one of a series of decisions many observers perceived as banker-friendly, and have led to accusations the city regulator is going soft. In addition to the shelved culture report, the FCA decided to take no further action against HSBC after allegations it helped customers of its Swiss subsidiary avoid tax. A report into incentive structures for financial product sales staff has also been abandoned. The FCA has been without a permanent chief executive since Martin Wheatley, a robust critic of the banks, left last summer. UK Chancellor George Osborne decided not to renew his contract and no replacement has yet been named, leaving Ms McDermott, former head of enforcement at the FCA, holding the fort. There is no suggestion that the Treasury is issuing instructions to the FCA, and the watchdog strenuously denies they are going soft on the banks. The FCA points to nearly a £1bn worth of fines levied in the last five years. But critics, such as Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, suggest that it appears that time has been called on the era of banker-bashing. They say it may be no coincidence that the FCA's decisions come as HSBC considers moving its global headquarters out of London and that the government needs favourable conditions to sell its enormous stake in Royal Bank of Scotland.

Add punctuation: And how long it will be before any oil or gas actually comes out of the ground - if at all. Despite environmental concerns and the low oil price, Ben van Beurden, Shell's chief executive, told me that as the world's energy demands increased, the hunt for new resources was as important as ever. The Arctic, he points out, has long been a source of oil and gas production. Environmental safety would be the priority, he insisted. Last month Shell received the final permits necessary to begin exploration from the US administration. It is now putting in place the safety vessels necessary to work alongside the Polar Pioneer exploration rig. That is the first stage in a lengthy process. "In terms of finally sanctioning a project, I cannot see that happening this side of 2020," Mr van Beurden told me. "And I think by the time we are in production it will be nearer 2030. So these are long term projects that we are developing. "Our plan for the Arctic is to find out whether there is any oil in the Chukchi Sea. "We are in the middle of that drilling campaign and we have to see at the end of the season whether we get into the reservoir. "If these results are conclusively no, then it will probably be the end of the road for our Alaska adventure. "If it is positive, we [will] probably need a little more of an appraisal but then it will take a long time before we will take an investment decision on this." Many experts say that major oil companies are failing to take account of future controls on carbon emissions which it is argued will be needed to limit the effects of global warming. A recent report by the Carbon Tracker initiative said that up to 80% of coal, oil and gas reserves of publicly listed companies are "unburnable" (or "stranded") "if the world is to have a chance of not exceeding global warming of 2°C". Mr van Beurden says the argument about stranded assets fails to understand the need to increase energy supply simply to keep up with demand, particularly from emerging economies. If no new exploration took place and no new resources were discovered, oil and gas production would naturally decrease rapidly, leading to a major energy squeeze. "The stranded asset debate is a red herring, frankly," he said. "It detracts from what the real issue is. "I think ultimately the world needs energy. Fossil fuels will have a role to play simply because there is not an alternative available in sufficient quantities within the timetable we are talking about. "Of course, ultimately, we will have a completely different energy mix, but it will take decades to get there and in the meantime, we cannot deny people access to energy. "The problem is a lot more intricate. There's energy efficiency, yes, we can do a lot more on renewables, and we are great proponents of that, but we also have to do things in terms of lowering the carbon intensity of the energy mix, getting into gas and less into coal and ultimately into carbon capture and storage. "That part of the debate is not getting traction enough. There seems to be the idea that policies will materialise that will leave assets in the ground. I don't think so."

Add punctuation: The 49-year-old owed a firm of private bankers a large sum and the court registrar said there was not enough credible evidence that he could pay. Mr Becker's lawyers asked for a final chance to pay with the funds from remortgaging a property in Majorca. Mr Becker, now a coach and TV pundit for the BBC and other media, was not at the hearing in London. Registrar Miss Christine Derrett said it was "with regret" that she came to the conclusion that he could not pay. "I remember watching him play on Centre Court, which probably shows my age," she added. The bankruptcy application was made by Arbuthnot Latham in connection with a debt owed to them for nearly two years. In a statement, Mr Becker said he was "surprised and disappointed" that Arbuthnot Latham had chosen to bring the proceedings against him. "This order relates to one disputed loan which I was due to repay in full in one month's time," he said. "It is disappointing that my request for today's hearing to be postponed until this time was refused. My earnings are well publicised and it is clear that I have the means to repay this debt. "The value of the asset in question far exceeds the debt owed to Arbuthnot Latham." Mr Becker's lawyers had asked for another 28-day adjournment after saying that they expected the Majorca property deal to be completed in a month's time. However, the registrar rejected the plea and said: "It is not often the case that a professional person has a judgment (debt) outstanding against them since October 2015. This is a historic debt. "One has the impression of a man with his head in the sand." Mr Becker's advocate, John Briggs, said: "He is not a sophisticated individual when it comes to finances. I am asking for a real last chance for Mr Becker to come good. It has just taken longer than anticipated." Since retiring from the game, Mr Becker has worked in business and the media and he also coached former world number one Novak Djokovic for three years from 2013. He is part of the BBC's commentary team for this year's Wimbledon Championships, which begin on Monday 3 July.

Add punctuation: The Northside regeneration scheme planned to revamp an area between Royal Avenue and Carrick Hill with the help of private investors. Proposals included as many as 3,000 apartments and houses, mostly for students, as well as retail outlets, offices and a hotel. The scheme would have taken five to seven years to complete. The development consortium appointed by the DSD in 2014, Northside Regeneration Limited, expressed "surprise and disappointment" at the move. In a letter seen by the BBC, the DSD said that the decision to pull out came after an "assessment of the scheme". "As part of this process, minister committed to taking the views of local stakeholders into account as well as a number of areas, including where the developer had not met requirements set by the department. "The minister has decided that the scheme as proposed by Northside Regeneration Limited should no longer benefit from the potential use of his department's statutory powers." The DSD added that it "has no alternative plans at this time". However, it added that "other options can now be explored" and said it is committed to "the regeneration the area needs". The development consortium - a partnership between local developer Kevin McKay and international firm Balfour Beatty - is now seeking an urgent meeting with Social Development Minister Lord Morrow. A statement from them said that "significant financial resources" had been invested in the project up to this point. They added that "a number of factors beyond our control" have affected the timeframe. A collaboration agreement between the DSD and the consortium expired on 31 March and has not been extended. The scheme had faced community opposition. Responding to the DSD move, Frank Dempsey of the Carrick Hill Residents' Association said the project was "ill-conceived from the start".

Add punctuation: The company also said currency controls in Venezuela made it impossible for airlines to convert their earnings into dollars and send the money abroad. Venezuela's economy has been hit hard by a sharp drop in the price of oil - the country's main source of income. Venezuela has high inflation and severe shortages of basic goods. In a statement, Lufthansa said that it "will be forced to suspend our service between Caracas and Frankfurt as of 18 June". It noted that the demand for international flights to Venezuela had dropped in 2015 and in the first quarter of the current year. However, it said it hoped to restore services in the near future. Strict currency controls were first imposed in Venezuela in 2003 by late President Hugo Chavez. The restrictions were further tightened two years ago, forcing several airlines to reduce their operations in the country as they struggled to repatriate billions of dollars in revenue held in the local currency - the bolivar. Some airlines are now requiring passengers to pay their fares in dollars. Venezuela's government has defended its policies, saying it must prioritise. Caracas says it is using its foreign reserves - which are now scarce - to pay for essential items such as medicines and industrial machinery.

Add punctuation: Assistant Commissioner John Yates told the BBC new information had emerged that would be considered by the police. Former reporter Sean Hoare has claimed the paper's former editor, Andy Coulson, asked him to hack into phones. Mr Coulson has told Scotland Yard he is happy to meet them voluntarily about the allegations, which he denies. A spokesman for Mr Coulson said: "Andy Coulson has today told the Metropolitan Police that he is happy to voluntarily meet them following allegations made by Sean Hoare. "Mr Coulson emphatically denies these allegations. He has, however, offered to talk to officers if the need arises and would welcome the opportunity to give his view on Mr Hoare's claims." Mr Coulson came under fresh pressure last week after former journalists told the New York Times that the practice of phone hacking was far more extensive than the newspaper acknowledged at the time. In light of the new information, Mr Yates told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We've always said that if any new material or new evidence was produced then we would consider it. "We've heard what Mr Hoare's had to say, we've been in touch with the New York Times for many months prior to the publication of the article, seeking any new material or new evidence that they had. They didn't produce any until they published this with Mr Hoare. "It is new and we'll be considering it, and consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service before we do." He confirmed Mr Hoare was new to the inquiry and had "come from nowhere" as far as the investigation was concerned. On Monday morning, lawyer Tamsin Allen said her clients, who include former Labour minister Chris Bryant and former senior Met officer Brian Paddick, wanted the police's decision making in this case to be "properly scrutinised". And shadow Home Secretary Alan Johnson has requested an urgent question in the House of Commons, asking Home Secretary Theresa May to explain what she intended to do in light of accusations that current members of House may have had their phones tapped. On Sunday she said there were no grounds for a public inquiry. Home Affairs Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz said Mr Yates would be asked about the latest developments in the inquiry when he appears before it on another matter on Tuesday. Mr Coulson - who is now Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications - has received strong backing from Number 10, which said he "totally and utterly" rejected claims he was aware of any wrongdoing. Mr Hoare told the New York Times he was fired from the News of the World during a period when he was struggling with drink and drugs. The News of the World's royal editor, Clive Goodman, was jailed for conspiracy to access phone messages in 2007, along with private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, but the paper insists it was an isolated case. While critical of the conduct of the News of the World's journalists, the Commons Culture and Media Committee found no evidence that Mr Coulson either approved phone-hacking by his paper, or was aware it was taking place. In 2009, the Metropolitan Police chose not to launch an investigation following the Guardian's claims that News of the World journalists were involved in widespread phone hacking of several thousand celebrities, sports stars and politicians. All five candidates in the Labour leadership contest have called for a fresh inquiry, echoing sentiments expressed by other senior party figures in recent days. But on Sunday, Education Secretary Michael Gove told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme that the New York Times allegations "seem to be a recycling of allegations we have heard before" and may have been a product of newspaper "circulation wars" in the US. Mr Gove said it was often "overlooked" that Mr Coulson, by resigning as editor in 2007, had taken responsibility for what had happened over the Goodman case even though there "was no evidence he knew what was going on". Labour leadership contender Ed Balls, former Labour minister Tessa Jowell, who says her phone was hacked 28 times, and former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who also believes he was targeted, have all called for action. Mr Balls said Mr Coulson's role at the heart of Number 10 meant that the government's "integrity" was under question. Lord Prescott threatened legal action in his bid to gain access to documents relating to his records. Mr Yates defended the initial police investigation, saying: "This was a very thorough inquiry, conducted in 2006, that resulted in the conviction of two people. "It resulted in a very complex area of law being clarified, and it sent an extremely strong deterrent message for other people who may be getting involved with this in the future that this is not a privacy issue. "This is much more than a privacy issue, this is a criminal issue for which you face the prospect of going to jail. I have to say this was a successful investigation." The News of the World has rejected "absolutely any suggestion there was a widespread culture of wrongdoing" at the newspaper. It said in a statement: "The News of the World repeatedly asked the New York Times to provide evidence to support their allegations and they were unable to do so. "Indeed, the story they published contained no new credible evidence and relied heavily on anonymous sources, contrary to the paper's own editorial guidelines. "In so doing they have undermined their own reputation and confirmed our suspicion their story was motivated by commercial rivalry."

Assistant Commissioner John Yates told the BBC new information had emerged that would be considered by the police. Former reporter Sean Hoare has claimed the paper's former editor, Andy Coulson, asked him to hack into phones. Mr Coulson has told Scotland Yard he is happy to meet them voluntarily about the allegations, which he denies. A spokesman for Mr Coulson said: "Andy Coulson has today told the Metropolitan Police that he is happy to voluntarily meet them following allegations made by Sean Hoare. "Mr Coulson emphatically denies these allegations. He has, however, offered to talk to officers if the need arises and would welcome the opportunity to give his view on Mr Hoare's claims." Mr Coulson came under fresh pressure last week after former journalists told the New York Times that the practice of phone hacking was far more extensive than the newspaper acknowledged at the time. In light of the new information, Mr Yates told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We've always said that if any new material or new evidence was produced then we would consider it. "We've heard what Mr Hoare's had to say, we've been in touch with the New York Times for many months prior to the publication of the article, seeking any new material or new evidence that they had. They didn't produce any until they published this with Mr Hoare. "It is new and we'll be considering it, and consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service before we do." He confirmed Mr Hoare was new to the inquiry and had "come from nowhere" as far as the investigation was concerned. On Monday morning, lawyer Tamsin Allen said her clients, who include former Labour minister Chris Bryant and former senior Met officer Brian Paddick, wanted the police's decision making in this case to be "properly scrutinised". And shadow Home Secretary Alan Johnson has requested an urgent question in the House of Commons, asking Home Secretary Theresa May to explain what she intended to do in light of accusations that current members of House may have had their phones tapped. On Sunday she said there were no grounds for a public inquiry.

Add punctuation: Ibrahim al-Hussein, who has been given asylum in Greece, bore the torch through Eleonas camp. The 27-year-old electrician used to swim and do judo competitively in Syria. He is among more than one million migrants to have entered the EU, crossing to Greece by inflatable boat. Mr al-Hussein now has a prosthetic leg, works in an Athens cafe and plays wheelchair basketball. He can swim 50m (yards) in 28 seconds, three seconds off his personal best before the injury, and will compete in the Greek disabled swimming championship in June. He told AFP news agency it was an honour to carry the flame. "I am carrying the flame for myself but also for Syrians, for refugees everywhere, for Greece, for sports, for my swimming and basketball teams," he said. "My goal is to never give up. But to go on, to always go forward. And that I can achieve through sports." Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said a team of up to 10 refugees will take part at the Rio Olympics. A selection process is due to take place in June, AFP quoted a UNHCR official as saying. The Olympic flame was lit last week in the 2,600-year-old Temple of Hera at Ancient Olympia. On Wednesday it will be handed over to Brazilian officials in a ceremony at the historic Olympic stadium in Athens, site of the first modern Games in 1896. Some 12,000 torchbearers will then carry the flame through Brazil before the Games start in August.

Add punctuation: Mr McDonnell told the Sunday Mirror Sir Richard wanted to "undermine" democracy, after a row over Jeremy Corbyn's journey on a Virgin train. Earlier this week, Sir Richard's Virgin Trains released footage disputing Mr Corbyn's claims about overcrowding on one of its services. Sir Richard has not responded. Speaking to the newspaper, Mr McDonnell said former BHS boss Sir Philip Green should also be stripped of his knighthood. It comes on the day that the last BHS stores close for the final time. Sir Philip has not commented on the remarks. Mr McDonnell said it was time to "take control" of the honours system, adding: "The whole purpose of the honours system is undermined when the rich and the powerful can collect their gongs without giving anything back. It's even worse when tax exiles are given honours." He continued: "And you should certainly have [honours] stripped from you if you subsequently have been found to be not acting in the spirit of our country." He singled out Sir Richard, calling him a "tax exile who thinks he can try and intervene and undermine our democracy". There is no suggestion the businessman, who lives on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, has done anything illegal. In 2013, Sir Richard said he was living on the island because of a love for the "beautiful" location - not for tax reasons. Responding to Mr McDonnell's comments, Labour MP John Woodcock, a prominent critic of leader Mr Corbyn, tweeted: "Dare to question Saint Jeremy's version of the truth? John McDonnell will strip you of your knighthood..." And speaking at a rally in Hull, Labour leadership contender Owen Smith said: "I think the suggestion John [McDonnell] is making is that Branson should lose his knighthood for telling the truth about seats on his trains. "I can't say that I think that's a reasonable suggestion." Earlier in August, footage emerged of Labour leader Mr Corbyn sitting on the floor of what he dubbed a "ram-packed" Virgin train. However, Sir Richard later tweeted to say Mr Corbyn had walked past empty seats, with Virgin Trains releasing CCTV of the incident. In response, Mr Corbyn's campaign team released footage of Mr Corbyn walking through a busy carriage and said: "When Jeremy boarded the train he was unable to find unreserved seats, so he sat with other passengers in the corridor who were also unable to find a seat. "Later in the journey, seats became available after a family were upgraded to first class, and Jeremy and the team he was travelling with were offered the seats by a very helpful member of staff."

Add punctuation: The film, which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, knocked last week's top film Tomorrowland, which debuted with $40.7m (£26.7m), into third place. Pitch Perfect 2 was at number two and Mad Max: Fury Road was fourth. Avengers: Age of Ultron - 2015's biggest US film so far - was fifth. The Marvel comic film has so far taken $427m (£280m) at the US box office. Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros, which distributed San Andreas, said: "Some people felt they'd be a little nervous watching such a disaster hit both Los Angeles and San Francisco, but there was a curiosity factor." Box office tracker Rentrak said it was also Johnson's biggest debut for a non-sequel as the top-billed actor. The film also features Kylie Minogue, as the sister of one of the key characters, Emma, played by Carla Gugino. Cameron Crowe's rom-com Aloha, starring starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams and Bill Murray was in sixth place. Despite its stellar cast the film's reviews have not been particularly positive and it was in the spotlight last year after leaked emails from Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal said its script was "ridiculous". Some native Hawaiian groups opposed the title; while an Asian-American group slated the use of a nearly all-white cast in a film shot in Hawaii. Rory Bruer, Sony Pictures Entertainment's president of worldwide distribution, said the film did "well enough with women aged 25-34 to overcome the negative buzz", adding that the film, which took $10m (£6.5m), cost about $37m (£24m) to make. So far this year, US and Canadian box office takings are up nearly 5% at $4.26bn (£2.8bn), while attendance is up more than 4%.

The Mercedes are well clear of the rest of the field - Raikkonen was 0.775secs behind Hamilton. Media playback is not supported on this device It was two-by-two through much of the top 10 around the fast sweeps of Silverstone, with the impressive Toro Rossos of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Jr fifth and sixth, followed by the Williams cars of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat and Lotus's Pastor Maldonado completed the top 10. A crowd of 105,000 is expected on Saturday and the grandstands and spectator areas were already packed as practice began at 10:00 BST in warm and bright conditions. The fans' hopes of seeing home success are dependent entirely on Hamilton, as Jenson Button had another difficult day with McLaren, ending 16th and 2.6secs off the pace. Team-mate Fernando Alonso had an even worse time, managing only six laps before his running was ended by what is believed to have been a hydraulic leak. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton heads into the weekend 10 points clear of Rosberg in the championship, a lead that has been cut by three victories in the last four races for the German. The world champion had ended Friday practice off Rosberg's pace and saying he would be "in trouble" if he could not improve the balance of his car, but he professed confidence before going to the garage on Saturday morning and was immediately quick when the Mercedes cars finally took to the track 15 minutes or so into the session. Hamilton set the pace on his first flying lap on the hard tyre, beating Rosberg's time by 0.037secs. Rosberg then took more than half a second off that before Hamilton beat him to be 0.398secs quicker on that tyre. Rosberg then suffered a gearbox oil leak, but he still managed to get out before the end of the session. By the time he did, Hamilton had posted a one minute 32.917 seconds lap on the 'medium' tyre that will be used for qualifying.

Add punctuation: Diabetes UK says that up to 80% of foot amputations could be avoided if better care was in place. Patients are suffering because many areas do not have services in place to quickly deal with foot ulcers and infections. By 2015, the number of diabetes-related amputations is expected to rise to 7,000 a year. When diabetes, both Types 1 and Type 2, is present for many years, especially if it is poorly controlled, it can cause complications such as reducing blood flow to vessels in the feet and nerve damage which reduces sensation. This increases the risk of ulcers and infections that may lead to amputation. A report produced in collaboration with the Society for Chiropodists and Podiatrists and NHS Diabetes points out that people with diabetes are more than 20 times more likely to have an amputation than the rest of the population. It recommends that all hospitals have a multi-disciplinary footcare team as recommended in national guidelines. Figures suggest that 40% of hospitals currently do not have such teams in place. Every hospital also needs to be able to guarantee that people with urgent foot problems can be assessed by the right professionals within 24 hours, the report urges. This is because ulcers can deteriorate extremely quickly and a matter of hours can make the difference between keeping a foot and losing it. In addition people with diabetes who are at high risk for foot problems need to know what to look out for and what to do when a problem develops. Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said it is unacceptable that every week people with diabetes who have treatable foot problems are having feet or toes amputated because they are not being treated quickly enough. "It is not as if this is a problem we don't know how to solve. "If every hospital had a multi-disciplinary footcare team and ensured access to that team within 24 hours, then that would make a huge difference to the amputation rates." She added that some prevention work was so poor that people were not even asked to take their shoes off when attending their annual foot check. "This is not something that requires more money," she continued. "In fact, putting these kind of systems in place can actually save money because the amputations that they prevent are so expensive. Matthew Fitzpatrick, spokesman for the College of Podiatry, said they strongly welcomed the recommendations. "The most important aspect is that patients appreciate how to check themselves and are seeking appropriate advice when they need it. "If they're worried then their local podiatrist should be the first port of call."

In addition people with diabetes who are at high risk for foot problems need to know what to look out for and what to do when a problem develops. Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said it is unacceptable that every week people with diabetes who have treatable foot problems are having feet or toes amputated because they are not being treated quickly enough. "It is not as if this is a problem we don't know how to solve. "If every hospital had a multi-disciplinary footcare team and ensured access to that team within 24 hours, then that would make a huge difference to the amputation rates." She added that some prevention work was so poor that people were not even asked to take their shoes off when attending their annual foot check. "This is not something that requires more money," she continued. "In fact, putting these kind of systems in place can actually save money because the amputations that they prevent are so expensive. Matthew Fitzpatrick, spokesman for the College of Podiatry, said they strongly welcomed the recommendations. "The most important aspect is that patients appreciate how to check themselves and are seeking appropriate advice when they need it. "If they're worried then their local podiatrist should be the first port of call."

Add punctuation: That was slower than the 2.2% growth rate economists had been expecting and below third quarter growth of 3.5%. For the year, GDP rose by 1.6%, the slowest since 2011 and down on 2015 when the world's largest economy expanded by 2.6%. President Donald Trump has promised to lift GDP growth to 4%, through tax cuts and infrastructure spending. The last time that America's economy grew at that rate was in 2000, the year of the dotcom boom, when it expanded by 4.1%. While consumer spending rose in the quarter between October to December, the US Commerce Department said there had been a slowdown in exports and an increase in imports. Friday's figure is the first estimate of economic growth and is based on incomplete data. An updated estimate will be released on 26 February. Nancy Curtin, chief investment officer at Close Brothers Asset Management, said the data highlighted how the heightened political climate in the US and Europe had "put a pinch on US growth". She added: "Growth in jobs and the economy are the primary concerns of the new US administration and the levels of growth which have been talked about are very optimistic. Although she cautioned: "With the president less than one week in office and with key global trade agreements, including with the UK, still yet to be decided, it will be a while before we start to see the true impact of Trumponomics." However, Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said the slowdown was not a cause for alarm because the final half of the year was heavily influenced by a temporary swing in exports. In the third quarter there had been a spike in soybean exports which was not repeated in the final three months of the year. He said: "We would be wary of reading too much into the slowdown in GDP growth." Optimism about Mr Trump's economic policies has fuelled a rise on the stock market, which this week sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average through 20,000 for the first time. Full year growth of 1.6% places the US behind the UK, which this week reported that GDP rose by 2% last year. UK output also grew ahead of Germany, the so-called engine room of the European economy, which expanded by 1.9% last year. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting Mr Trump on Friday, where post-Brexit trade opportunities are expected to be discussed. The UK cannot negotiate trade deals with other countries until it leaves the European Union, but Mr Trump has said he wants a "quick" deal after that.

Add punctuation: George Hamilton was speaking at an event in Londonderry called Uncomfortable Conversations. During the event, Mr Hamilton was challenged by Kate Nash, the sister of one of those killed on Bloody Sunday. He said he would raise the matter immediately. Mr Hamilton said it was "unacceptable" they had not been given an update on the status of the Bloody Sunday investigation. "What I heard tonight was families who appear not to have been communicated with. I don't doubt their honesty around that and I'm disappointed that they're not as up to date as I am. "I have agreed to look at that, to review the communication between the investigation team and the family and the investigation team will be in touch. "We'll make sure that the families are up to date with the progress or lack of it." Kate Nash, whose brother died after soldiers opened fire on civil rights marchers in Londonderry in 1972, said she would be happy to hear an update. "I don't need to have a private conversation, I think what George Hamilton should be doing is coming to meet the families en masse. All we need is justice." Most of the team investigating Bloody Sunday was laid off last year because of budget cuts. Police resumed their investigation into the killings in January. The unit was set up to replace the Historical Enquiries Team (HET).

Add punctuation: Home Minister Zahid Hamidi said those arrested, the youngest just 14, were planning to attack police stations and army bases to gather weapons. Two of the suspects had just returned from Syria, police said. The government's tough and disputed new anti-terrorism laws are due to be debated in parliament this week. The Bernama news agency quoted Mr Zahid as telling parliament that those arrested, who were aged between 14 and 44, were also planning to kidnap high-profile individuals. The targets were not named. Mr Zahid said notes had also been found describing how to make bombs. The notes were written by an Indonesian executed for his role in the 2002 bomb attacks in Bali. Two of those arrested were members of the army. The new anti-terror laws have raised concern among human rights and opposition groups, who fear they may be used to stifle political dissent. The new Prevention of Terrorism Act would permit indefinite detention without trial. The Special Measures Against Terrorism in Foreign Countries would permit the revocation of passports of Malaysians or foreigners suspected of terrorist activities. Prime Minister Najib Razak said in November last year the measures were necessary to combat militant Islamist cells and "lone wolf" attacks. He had previously pledged to abolish Malaysia's controversial sedition law, but at his party's annual congress in November said instead that it would be strengthened. Why the controversy of Malaysia's sedition law?

"If you want a right then use it properly."

The electoral commission said difficulties in transporting electoral materials caused the delays, and voting at some polling stations would continue on Friday. The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the capital, Kampala, reports that crowds were angry after waiting several hours to vote and police fired tear gas to disperse them. Voting was cancelled at at least two polling stations in the city after clashes with police and accusations of fake ballots being distributed. Some voters in Kampala, traditionally an opposition stronghold, accused the authorities of deliberately stalling the vote, AFP news agency reports. "People are quite angry and everybody is believing that there is something wrong behind this because of the way they are delaying things," Moses Omony, a motorbike taxi driver, is quoted as saying.

Add punctuation: The event, which has only just come to light, occurred off the coast of Brazil at 13:55 GMT on 6 February. As it burned up, the space rock released the equivalent of 13,000 tonnes of TNT. This makes it the most powerful event of its kind since an object exploded over Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013. That blast was much bigger, releasing the equivalent of 500,000 tonnes of TNT. More than 1,000 people were injured in that incident on 15 February three years ago, most from flying glass from shattered windows. But the fireball over the Atlantic probably went unnoticed; it burnt up about 30km above the ocean surface, 1,000km off the Brazilian coast. Nasa listed the event on its Fireball and Bolide Reports web page. Measurements suggest that about 30 small asteroids (between 1m and 20m in size) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere every year. Because most of the Earth's surface is covered by water, most of these fall over the ocean and do not affect populated areas. Follow Paul on Twitter.

Add punctuation: Business Secretary Greg Clark and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said such a deal would be "in the interests of public health and safety". "The UK would like to find a way to continue to collaborate with the EU," they wrote in a Financial Times letter. There are fears Brexit may cause delays in UK patients getting new drugs. Currently the London-based European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorises drugs for use across the EU, including the UK. However, it is expected to move out of the UK after Brexit, raising uncertainty over whether the UK will need to develop its own separate drug approval system. Industry experts have warned that if this happens pharmaceutical firms could be slower to seek permission for their drugs to be used in just one country, focusing instead on getting their drugs approved for larger, more lucrative markets. The UK pharmaceuticals trade association has also warned that Brexit could undermine future investment, research and jobs in the country. But speaking on the BBC's Today programme, the UK managing director of US drugs giant Pfizer, Erik Nordkamp, said there were other issues than Brexit that the industry wanted to see addressed. "The letter in the FT this morning is significant... because it acknowledges there are some risks that need to be addressed with regulation, with trade, but at the same time the government needs to address the long-standing issues that are there." The ministers wrote that the UK "will look to continue to work closely with the European Medicines Agency (EMA)." "Our overall aim is to ensure that patients in the UK and across the EU continue to be able to access the best and most innovative medicines," they added. In the letter, they cited examples where the UK and EU partnership had helped patients, including the licensing of 130 products to treat rare diseases. In an attempt to reassure the industry, they also said if it wasn't possible to arrange "our desired relationship with the EU", then Britain would "set up a regulatory system" to process drugs licences "as quickly as possible." In April, EMA executive director Guido Rasi said continued co-operation was theoretically possible but it would be up to EU governments to decide whether to offer such a deal. Pharmaceutical firms have been pushing for some kind of clarity over what the UK's exit from the EU will mean for the industry. Mike Thompson, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said the ministers' letter was "a welcome recognition that the future of medicines regulation is a key priority for the government".

Add punctuation: Roland Baker, 93, was invited to last month's London premiere of The Railway Man, starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman, but could not make it. The Regal in Stowmarket, Suffolk, stepped in to give him a special reception instead. He worked as forced labour 1942-1945 on the construction and maintenance of the Thailand-Burma railway. The Suffolk Regiment private was captured following the fall of Singapore in February 1942. He decided not to attend the film's premiere in London because it was too late in the evening for him. People's War: Thailand-Burma Railway Mr Baker, who lives at Bacton near Stowmarket, rang his local cinema to see if they would be showing the film, which is based on Eric Lomax's book about his time as a PoW in the Far East. David Marsh, from the Regal, said: "We got chatting to him and thought it would be lovely, as he couldn't get to the London red carpet, for us to bring the red carpet to him." Mr Baker said he helped build many large and small bridges, including the one over the River Kwai. He said he and his comrades were fed on just boiled water and rice, which sometimes contained maggots, and by the end of the war his weight had plummeted to 5 stone (31kg) from his normal 11 stone (70kg). "We were underfed, over-worked, had no clothes to wear in the monsoons, were often up to our necks in mud and we had to build our own huts as we moved up the railway," he said. "I had an ulcer on my leg but I got over that, otherwise my leg would have been taken off without anaesthetic using a saw which we used to cut trees down." Two other prisoners of war of the Japanese attended the Stowmarket screening - the Suffolk Regiment's Pte Percy Wells, 91, from Woodbridge, and Harold Lock, 90, from Sudbury, who was in the Royal Navy. Brian Wright, chairman of the Suffolk Old Comrades club, said 2,000 members of the Suffolk Regiment were prisoners of the Japanese and 760 died while working on the railway. "Veterans don't always talk about their experiences as Japanese PoWs, but they went through hell," he said. "This cinema event is a token of respect for the sacrifices people like Roland made for the world."

He said he and his comrades were fed on just boiled water and rice, which sometimes contained maggots, and by the end of the war his weight had plummeted to 5 stone (31kg) from his normal 11 stone (70kg). "We were underfed, over-worked, had no clothes to wear in the monsoons, were often up to our necks in mud and we had to build our own huts as we moved up the railway," he said. "I had an ulcer on my leg but I got over that, otherwise my leg would have been taken off without anaesthetic using a saw which we used to cut trees down." Two other prisoners of war of the Japanese attended the Stowmarket screening - the Suffolk Regiment's Pte Percy Wells, 91, from Woodbridge, and Harold Lock, 90, from Sudbury, who was in the Royal Navy. Brian Wright, chairman of the Suffolk Old Comrades club, said 2,000 members of the Suffolk Regiment were prisoners of the Japanese and 760 died while working on the railway. "Veterans don't always talk about their experiences as Japanese PoWs, but they went through hell," he said. "This cinema event is a token of respect for the sacrifices people like Roland made for the world."

The pranksters are known for targeting high-profile politicians and celebrities, including Arizona Senator John McCain and singer Elton John. Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyaro have been identified as the pranksters, who were impersonating Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman. "Secretary Perry is the latest target of two Russian pranksters", said Energy Department spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes. "These individuals are known for pranking high level officials and celebrities, particularly those who are supportive of an agenda that is not in line with their governments," Ms Hynes added. "In this case, the energy security of Ukraine," she told the Washington Post. On 20 June, Mr Perry hosted the Ukrainian president and his delegation in Washington. On 12 July, his office received a request for a follow up phone call, and one week later the prank-call took place, US media report. During the call, the two discussed US coal exports to Ukraine, Russian hackers, a proposed energy pipeline across the Baltic Sea, and a - presumably fake - new source of fuel derived from manure and homemade alcohol. They claim that the "biological fuel" had been invented by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. "I hope that stepping away from the Paris accord will not have any negative impact with our relationship with the Ukraine," Mr Perry said at one point during the call, referring to the climate change pact that US President Donald Trump has announced US opposition to. Mr Perry, the former Texas governor, dropped out of the 2012 presidential election after forgetting the names of the departments that he planned to eliminate if elected during a debate. "Oops" Mr Perry muttered, rather than recall the name of the department that he would later head.

Organisers said police told them to relocate the monthly event to Zebedee's Yard because "there were too many access points for a vehicle to be driven at speed" into the plaza. Police stressed there had been no specific threat to the event itself. More on this and other stories from across Hull and East Yorkshire They said public safety was their main priority. More than 20 people were killed when 22-year-old Salman Abedi carried out a suicide bomb attack at Manchester Arena on 22 May. Eight people were killed in the London Bridge attack on 3 June and five killed in the Westminster attack on 22 March. The current national threat level is severe, which means an attack is highly likely. Kathryn Shillito, city centre manager of event organisers Hull BID (Business Improvement District), said: "Post-Manchester and London, and in consultation with the police, safety and security was paramount so on taking their advice, we relocated the event to Zebedee's Yard and Princes Dock Street." She said the move would mean a bigger festival with more stalls. The organisation said there would be security checks of bags at various entry points to the festival, including Princes Dock Street, Whitefriargate, Dagger Lane and Posterngate. In a social media post, it said: "Really sorry for any inconvenience but we're sure you'll appreciate that with the recent tragic events - and after consulting with the police - security has to be tight. "All we ask is for people to be understanding and patient and we'll get everybody through as soon as we can. "We've put in so much hard work to make this event happen and just want it to be safe, and for our visitors to have a fantastic time. Thank you."

Add punctuation: Matthew Swash, 40, of Cambridgeshire Police, denies 12 sex offence charges against four colleagues and a victim. St Albans Crown Court heard he is also accused of accessing force databases to contact crime victims, visit them and send them inappropriate text messages. The jury was told he "exploited his position". The trial continues. Mr Swash, of Crown Close, March, began working for Cambridgeshire Police in 1996 and was made a detective sergeant in 2001. The offences were allegedly committed between December 2009 and September last year. As well as the sex assault charges, he is accused of two counts of misconduct in a judicial or public office, in relation to contacting female crime victims. Opening the case, prosecutor Peter Shaw said: "He exploited his position as a police officer to commit sexual offences against women officers. "It is no coincidence that all of the officers he assaulted were junior to him in rank. "This was not a cast-iron method of ensuring complete impunity, of course, but it meant that those officers were much less likely to 'rock the boat' by accusing a more senior and popular officer of such things." He told the jury of seven men and five women that Mr Swash had a "Jekyll and Hyde" character and was addicted to sexual and romantic intrigue. "The assaults in the main consisted of him kissing the victims, sometimes very forcefully, and sometimes pushing his body against theirs where it was apparent he had an erection," said Mr Shaw. "None of these were harmless or trivial acts. They invariably left the recipients feeling upset, and perplexed as to how they were to deal with the situation of a senior officer acting in such a way." The trial continues.

Add punctuation: Sullivan won with Breech!, a tender picture of his wife Virginia breastfeeding their daughter Edith. The judges said it reminded them of Madonna and Child portraits and showed "the depth of the maternal bond". "For a portraitist, the BP award is the only gig in town - it's the most important thing," he told BBC News. Sullivan, who was born in Grimsby and lives in Suffolk, receives £30,000 and a gallery commission worth £5,000 at the National Portrait Gallery, London. He said he wanted to show the "bond and connection" between mother and daughter with Breech!. It is now going on show to the public as part of the gallery's annual exhibition of the shortlisted works, and Sullivan said his award meant even more to him knowing so many people would get to see his art. "Hundreds of thousands of people see the show so it's wonderful from that point of view. From every angle it's great news." He came third in last year's competition, for a portrait of poet Hugo Williams and has overall been selected a record 13 times. Broadcaster and judge Kirsty Wark said of Breech!: "The woman is tired. She is in love. Her life has changed forever. We know her." The 40-year-old artist often paints family members, saying that "the emotional connection between sitter and artist is at the root of all successful portraits". "I've done lots of paintings of Ginny, my wife, throughout our 10-year relationship so it felt normal to do this now in this situation, with our first child," he told BBC News. "It was great to see that bond and connection between them so it was important to do from that point of view." Sullivan said he wanted the portrait to celebrate the new arrival, as well as mark the difficult time he and his wife had during the birth of Edith - who was a breech baby, as referred to in the title of the portrait. He added that it was a time when "a sense of calm descended after the usual period of disarrangement that new parents face". Sullivan told BBC News: "I just wanted to do a painting of the two of them... the child gets a lot of comfort from the physical thing of breast-feeding. "Talk to any midwife and they will tell you that getting young mothers to breast feed and feel confident in public and normalise it is really important." He said he had seen "every kind of reaction to the work", including negative, but those "in the know" - midwives and mothers with young babies - say, "Oh my God, you've got it just so". Breech! was painted over a four-to-five-week period in his studio "when Edith's co-operation was forthcoming". Thomas Ehretsmann was awarded second prize, and £10,000, for Double Portrait - showing his wife Caroline walking in a park when she was eight months pregnant. The judges said the portrait, painted with layers of semi-transparent acrylic paint, showed Caroline's "sense of stillness, strength and serenity". The third prize of £8,000 went to Antony Williams for his portrait of friend Emma Bruce, simply titled Emma, and the judges said his "distinctive technique" made the painting look "almost sculptural". The model has been sitting for Williams for 11 years at his studio in Chertsey, and he said he wanted to show her vulnerability and determination. New Zealand artist Henry Christian-Slane won the BP Young Artist Award of £7,000 for Gabi, showing his partner Gabi Lardies. The 26-year-old said he believes the painting - being of someone he knows so well - "balances being analytical and instinctual". The BP Portrait Award 2017 exhibition is at the National Portrait Gallery from 22 June to 24 September and admission is free.

Add punctuation: They will be officially designated and listed to give them added protection with closure being a last resort. Kirsty Williams said it should only be considered once alternatives and impact on communities have been explored. Ms Williams said rural schools were "at the heart of community life" and should get "a fair hearing". Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Powys, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire are classed as the more rural of the 22 local authority areas, according to statisticians. Hard-pressed councils have prompted anger in recent years by closing smaller schools in less heavily-populated areas to tackle surplus places. But the minister, inviting consultation on changes to the School Organisation Code, said alternatives to closure should be considered, such as federation with other schools. Authorities will have to assess the likely impact of a school's closure on children's education, the wider community, and travel arrangements, and explain why closure is the "most appropriate" course of action. To increase community involvement in decisions, consultations should be published on a school day while any new alternatives to closure arising during the process should be given consideration. Ms Williams pointed to "unique issues" facing rural schools and she wants to ensure children that attend them have the same opportunities as those in other areas. "These proposals strengthen the School Organisation Code to make sure that councils and other proposers do everything they can to keep a rural school open before deciding to consult on closure.," she added. She believes "talking and engaging with the local community is vital". "If there is a consultation to close a school, all options and suggestions that emerge form this must be considered before a decision is made. This might include federation with other schools or increasing the community use of school buildings to make the school more viable," Ms Williams added. "Rural schools are at the heart of community life. I therefore want to make sure these schools get a fair hearing when their future is being considered. "These plans will play a key part in our national mission to raise standards and offer opportunities to all our young people." The policy was part of the agreement which saw Ms Williams, the only Liberal Democrat AM, join the Welsh Government as education secretary after the 2016 assembly elections. Buddug Ellis, head teacher of Ysgol Bro Elwern in Denbighshire, welcomed the new rules but questioned the wording. Her school was under threat of closure in the past and it is now a federated school. She said: "Unfortunately, it doesn't really say what the assembly means by a small school. "One with 30, 40, 50 pupils or possibly a school of 100 to 150 pupils? "That's unclear. But obviously it gives schools some sort of security for the future." Council applications for cash under a new £2.5m small and rural schools grant scheme are currently being assessed. Plaid Cymru education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd welcomed the offer to give communities a "stronger voice" in the process. But he added: "If the government wants to keep smaller schools open, they must also recognise the additional cost to councils at a time of austerity and cuts." Welsh Conservative spokesman Darren Millar added that the measures would "do little to undo the harm already caused and do nothing to address the perennial issue of underfunding which is biggest obstacle to keeping rural schools open". Prof David Reynolds, head of education at Swansea University and a former Welsh Government advisor, welcomed the new guidance saying schools "don't have to be huge to be good". "We've closed hundreds of schools in Wales," he said. "Sometimes they've been the very, very small ones - five, 10, 20 pupils, that's more defensible. "But there are lots of very good schools out there of 30 to 35 pupils that we should support."

Add punctuation: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle are all set to reprise the roles they first played two decades ago. An online trailer with footage from the original movie sets a release date of 27 January 2017. Trainspotting is based on Irvine Welsh's tale of Edinburgh drug addicts. The trailer comes as filming of T2 is getting under way, with Bremner spotted in character as Daniel "Spud" Murphy during pre-production in Edinburgh last week. Carlyle, who will return to the part of "psycho" Begbie, has said that the script for the new film is "absolutely fantastic" and stronger than the first film. The actor joined Welsh at The Usher Hall in Edinburgh earlier this year to mark 20 years since the release of the original movie, where he said that filming will take place "pretty much 50-50" between Edinburgh and Glasgow. He said: "I'm basing this on nothing other than the fact that the production office is on Bathgate. There's a clue there. "What I will say is that all the characters are exactly where you would want them to be. "The strength of this new script is the fact that the narrative is a bit stronger than it was in the original." He added: "You learn a lot about Renton, Sick Boy and indeed Begbie and where their heads are. "I think it's an absolutely fantastic script. John Hodge has done a wonderful job, as he did with the original." McGregor has said he does not have any nerves about returning to the part of Renton. Speaking to the Press Association ahead of the release of his new movie Our Kind Of Traitor, he said: "It's such an amazing script, penned by John Hodge who wrote the original Trainspotting script, so there's a real excitement about it. "Like every movie you do, you have things to think about leading up to them. There is a nervousness about it, but I'm not nervous because it's a sequel to Trainspotting."

The 68-year-old was due to perform across the US and Canada next month. She will have treatment and expects to return to the stage later in 2017. Last week, the four-time Grammy award winner cancelled planned meet-and-greet events for the upcoming tour dates due to "severe back pain". A statement on Tuesday said: "The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour, has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum. "In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows." After surviving her initial cancer diagnosis in 1992, Newton-John became a prominent campaigner for others facing the disease, as well as on other health issues. She set up the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness research centre in Melbourne, Australia. It was partially funded by a sponsored walk along the Great Wall of China, aided by celebrity friends including Sir Cliff Richard and Joan Rivers. Tuesday's statement advised ticket holders for her upcoming concerts to contact the venue about refunds.

David Cameron has said the UK will take in "thousands" more Syrian refugees. Under existing schemes, government financial support for Syrians resettled in the UK lasts 12 months. Details of Mr Cameron's plans have not been announced, but the Syrians are expected to be taken to Britain under existing schemes, so the 12-month limit on central government support is expected to apply. After that, costs including health, education and social care will fall to councils. An exact figure on how many people the UK will take in is yet to be decided, but Mr Cameron made it clear on Friday that the extra refugees would come from camps bordering Syria, and not from among those already in Europe. Councillor Simmonds, from the LGA's asylum, refugee and migrant task force, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The big challenge is that there's been a lot of well-publicised pressure on our public services, school places, hospital access, housing - in many parts of the country. "We need to make sure that if people are going to be moved to the UK, that we've a clear idea of what the cost is going to be, to provide the public services that they expect when they come here." Mr Simmonds said councils in England were already supporting 2,000 unaccompanied refugee children at a cost of £50,000 each year per child. A further £150m a year was being spent on destitute families whose asylum applications had been turned down, but who remained in the UK, he said. In other developments: Calls for the UK to take in more refugees have intensified after the publication of a picture of the body of a drowned three-year-old Syrian boy, Alan Kurdi, washed up on a Turkish beach. On Friday Mr Cameron said the UK would act with "our head and our heart" on a major expansion of the programme to resettle vulnerable refugees from the camps bordering Syria. Earlier Labour's Yvette Cooper said more than 40 councils were ready to offer sanctuary to those fleeing Syria. The shadow home secretary and Labour leadership candidate said councils had replied within 24 hours to her request for each to accept 10 families. "There is a real determination and rising sense of moral purpose across Britain to help desperate families. But now the prime minister needs to match it," she said. Bill Dixon, leader of Darlington Borough Council, which has pledged to take refugees in, said 10 families was "about the right number for a town the size of Darlington". He said "nine or 10" local families had already volunteered to take refugees in, and 30-40 others had offered money, clothes or other help. Mr Dixon said the government should fund support for the refugees "for as long as it takes, not try and run away after 12 months". Craig Marshall, who lives in Darlington, has volunteered to house a family of refugees. He said taking in refugees was an "act of kindness" and was "the right thing to do". "The hard step, if you like, is actually getting them, receiving them and taking them and letting them know they're going to be safe," he said. Mr Marshall said the response he had received when he said he would take in a family of refugees had been a "50/50" split between positive and negative. Meanwhile, International Development Secretary Justine Greening has dismissed the prospect of Britain joining a proposed EU plan to redistribute the 160,000 migrants already in Europe, arguing that it "simply fuels the people smuggling business". "It's much smarter and safer to help them directly relocate from refugee camps," she added. Chancellor George Osborne said resettling refugees had to be part of a wider plan to deal with the crisis. Speaking at a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Turkey, he said: "You have got to deal with the problem at source which is this evil Assad regime and the Isil [otherwise known as Islamic State] terrorists." On Friday, BBC Newsnight reported that government sources planned to start making a case in the next week for UK military action in Syria. How will the plan work? Mr Cameron's plan suggests he may expand the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme - although this has not yet been confirmed. Under VPR, 216 Syrians have been brought to the UK since March 2014. People arriving in the UK in need of protection usually have to apply for asylum - and if this is granted they get "refugee" status. But people brought to Britain under VPR have not gone through this process. Instead, they have been granted Humanitarian Protection, a status normally used for people who "don't qualify for asylum" but would be at "real risk of suffering serious harm" in their home country. Like people granted refugee status, those given Humanitarian Protection can stay for five years, after which they can apply to settle in the UK. People in both categories have the right to work and access public funds. Over the past four years nearly 5,000 Syrians (in addition to the 216 taken to Britain under VPR) have been granted asylum in the UK, Downing Street sources told the BBC. 25,771 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year ending June 2015 2,204 were from Syria 87% of Syrian requests for asylum were granted 216 Syrians have been granted protection under a special scheme to relocate vulnerable people 4,980 Syrian asylum seekers and their dependents have been granted asylum since 2011 145 Syrian asylum seekers have been removed from the UK since 2011

David Simmons from the Local Government Association (LGA) said it was important that councils could provide the services refugees expected. David Cameron has said the UK will take in "thousands" more Syrian refugees. Under existing schemes, government financial support for Syrians resettled in the UK lasts 12 months. Details of Mr Cameron's plans have not been announced, but the Syrians are expected to be taken to Britain under existing schemes, so the 12-month limit on central government support is expected to apply.

Add punctuation: The 15-year-old girl from Measham, Leicestershire, was last seen outside Ibstock Community College on Friday. Stephen Beadman, 28, of George Avenue, Ibstock, appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court earlier. Luke Harlow, 27, also of George Avenue, appeared in court charged with grooming and two counts of sexual activity with a child. They were both remanded into custody and no pleas were entered. A body, believed to be that of Kayleigh Haywood, was found in a field near Ibstock, on Wednesday evening. A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death is yet to be held. It is alleged the rape and murder were carried out on Sunday 15 November. Luke Harlow faces two counts of sexual activity with a child and it is understood the grooming charge is internet related. Both men are due to appear at Leicester Crown Court on 18 December. Following the discovery of the body Kayleigh Haywood's family said they were "heartbroken" and thanked the community for their support. On Thursday evening hundreds of people visited St Laurence Church, in Measham, to pay their respects to Kayleigh. Reverend Linda Cox, from the church, said: "It was a very sombre atmosphere in there, but it was also a very supporting and loving atmosphere for each other and particularly for Kayleigh's family." Eddie Green, head teacher of Ashby School where Kayleigh was a pupil, paid tribute to the teenager describing her as a "fun-loving" girl. He said: "Our thoughts are with the family of Kayleigh Haywood at this difficult time. "[Kayleigh] had started Year 11 with a real determination to be successful. It would appear that this opportunity has sadly been taken away from her."

Emirates Team New Zealand, who lost an 8-1 lead to Oracle in the 2013 America's Cup, finished third overall with 493 points. Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history, is attempting to end Britain's long wait to bring the America's Cup back to the UK, where the oldest trophy in international sport was first contested in 1851. "It's a massive day for us, proving we can win at the top end. It's a big step towards the America's Cup next year in Bermuda," said Ainslie, who was part of the winning Oracle team three years ago. "We are under no illusions over just how tough it is. We hope to have the fastest boat next year." Land Rover BAR held a one-point advantage after the first day of the Fukuoka regatta but Artemis Racing of Sweden won the first two races on Sunday. Ainslie's crew needed to finish ahead of the Swedes in the last race of the day to clinch the title and came in third, with Artemis one place further back.

Add punctuation: "It all happened very quickly. They told me that she had a 5% chance of surviving." Charlotte Heath, 28 and from Cheslyn Hay near Walsall, fights back the tears as she recalls the moment she was warned her five-day-old daughter may die. Little Aimee had been infected with early onset Group B Streptococcus (or GBS) which, while harmless in most cases, can lead to a range of serious illnesses, including septicaemia, pneumonia and meningitis within the first week of a baby's life. The bacteria - carried by an estimated one-in-four pregnant women - is passed from mother to baby. In the majority of cases, babies can be protected if the mother is given intravenous antibiotics during labour. But Charlotte did not know she was a carrier. Despite the bleak outlook, Aimee survived but has been left with quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy which means that she cannot sit unaided, walk or talk. Charlotte said: "I know people will probably look at me and say, 'you know, she's got all these problems, you're fantastic, I don't know how you cope', but you do, you just get on with it because you know it could've been different. "We feel lucky to have her." Public Health England, which collates data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland told 5 live Investigates that the number of babies being made ill by the infection has increased by 12% between 2011 and 2015. According to the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit, 518 newborn babies in the UK and Ireland were made ill as a result of the bacteria, 27 died and dozens more like Aimee were left with disabilities in the year to April 2015. Craig White and Lynsey Dalvarez's son Frankie did not survive. Like Charlotte, Lynsey, 29, was unaware she was a carrier of the bacteria and was not tested or given the antibiotics which may have saved her son. "I'd never heard of it before," she said. "We didn't understand how sick he was. Saturday and Sunday they tried their best. "On Sunday night he had gone into multiple organ failure and he'd started having seizures. They said they'd try one more thing and if not we'd have to withdraw care. "They did a brain scan and it showed damage, so they took us into a room and removed support and he died 20 minutes later in my arms on the Monday. It was very quick." Both Lynsey and Charlotte feel very strongly that every mother should be tested for the condition. While this is done in some European countries and the US, routine screening is not done in the UK. The decision on whether to introduce it in this country is down to the Department of Health, which takes expert advice from the National Screening Committee. The screening committee is currently looking at this, but has said in the past that it does not think there is a case for routine screening here because it does not believe it is accurate enough. Dr Anne Mackie, Director of Programmes for the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), said: "The UK independent expert screening committee's last review of screening for group B strep carriage found testing in late pregnancy unreliable. "This is because the test cannot distinguish between women whose babies will be affected by early onset group B strep and those who would not. This could lead to a high number of mothers and babies being exposed to unnecessary antibiotic use." Campaigners disagree with the screening committee and say concerns about the overuse of antibiotics should not prevent mothers from being routinely screened. Jane Plumb from the charity Group B Strep Support, said: "Screening will save babies' lives, stop families going through the trauma of seeing their baby suffer preventable infection and ease the burden on our overworked NHS." They point to a clinical trial undertaken at London's Northwick Park Hospital in which more than 5,000 women were screened, with those testing positive offered antibiotics in labour. Full trial results are expected to be detailed in the British Medical Journal soon but preliminary results given after the first 18 months showed an 80% reduction in the number of babies infected with the bacteria. More than 250,000 people recently signed a petition calling on the Department of Health to introduce routine testing in the UK. The Department of Health declined to comment until after the screening committee report, which is expected some time this month. 5 live Investigates is on BBC Radio 5 live, Sunday 5 March at 11:00 GMT - catch up on BBC iPlayer Radio.

Add punctuation: Themes of migration and global politics are tackled on the shortlist for the biennial £40,000 prize. Welsh artist Bedwyr Williams imagines a futuristic city built on the slopes of Cadair Idris. Curator Karen MacKinnon said: "These artists question what it means to be human in our world and in our time." With the final touches still being carried out to some exhibits at National Museum Wales, she added that the artists brought "humour, surrealism and provocation". "What connects this diverse exhibition is relevance and urgency, as they comment on and question the spirit of our age." Two of the shortlisted artists have work at Chapter Arts Centre. They have been selected from more than 700 nominations submitted from 90 countries. SHORTLISTED ARTISTS John Akomfrah (UK) Ghanaian-born filmmaker and founder of the Black Audio Film Collective. Akomfrah's video installation over two screens looks at five centuries of migration and religious persecution. It was inspired while he was teaching in Barbados in 2009 and he saw a cemetery containing 17th Century graves of Sephardic Jewish refugees who had fled Brazil: "I was asking 'how did they get here?'" Neil Beloufa (France/Algeria) His video installation World Domination, projected onto a relief of a dinosaur, uses ordinary people from different continents "play acting" as presidents, discussing different issues but instructed to declare war. Ms MacKinnon called it "dark but very funny," while Beloufa talks of "how easy they get crazy and escalate it". Amy Franceschini/FutureFarmers (USA/Belgium) Those at the preview were given the "social media" of seeds of grain to take away with them. This is only the start of the voyage for this artwork in what is being called "an act of reverse migration." Seeds taken from museums, farms and found on historic sites have been brought to Cardiff on board a 19th Century Norwegian rescue vessel cum laboratory. They will embark on a journey to London and onto the Middle East, meeting more farmers and artisan bread-makers and exchanging seeds. Lamia Joreige (Lebanon, work both at National Museum Wales and Chapter) The starting point for Mathaf (Arabic for museum) from this visual artist is the collection of the destroyed National Museum of Beirut, in particular a fragment of Roman mosaic, damaged by a hole from a sniper's bullet. A concrete cast of the bullet hole, pictograms shot by a pinhole camera and an inventory of objects saved in the museum's archive. A separate video installation of a river brings social history and the gentrification of a neighbourhood. Nastio Mosquito (Angola, at Chapter) Poet, musician, video and digital artist Nastio is premiering The Transitory Suppository, depicting the fictional depot A L Moore of a country called Botrovia. Bedwyr Williams (UK/Wales) A 20-minute video on a wall, slowly computer-animated, Tyrrau Mawr shows an imaginary city which has sprung up on the slopes of Cadair Idris near Dolgellau, one of Wales' most recognisable peaks. His narration, laced with dark humour, tells snippets of stories of the inhabitants, as the cityscape slowly turns from night to day. "I wondered about this business of rapidly building huge cities in completely undeveloped places like in the oil rich countries in the Middle East or in China," Gwynedd-based Williams says of the work. "I've also been playing this game Clash of Clans with my son on my iPhone and I've becoming a little hooked on building imaginary fortresses." It is the first time since Cardiff-based painter Sue Williams in 2006 that a Welsh artist has made the shortlist. Analysis by Huw Thomas, BBC Wales arts and media correspondent Imposing video installations by Bedwyr Williams and John Akomfrah dominate the Artes Mundi exhibition, while the conscientious work of the FutureFarmers exemplify the prize's theme of the human condition. The challenge for the organisers is to make an impression on an audience that has become a little weary of contemporary art prizes. Beyond the exhibition spaces at National Museum Wales and Chapter, Artes Mundi's work in communities will add value to an event which would otherwise risk entombing a bold contemporary art prize within the walls of traditional artistic institutions. The home crowd will be pleased to see Williams on the shortlist, only the third time in the prize's 12-year history that a Welsh artist has been selected. But he faces considerable competition for the £40,000 prize when the jury considers its artistic verdict in the new year. The exhibition runs from 21 October until 26 February 2017, with the prize announced on 25 January. The last winner, Theaster Gates in 2015, chose to split the prize fund equally between the whole shortlist.

The exhibition runs from 21 October until 26 February 2017, with the prize announced on 25 January. The last winner, Theaster Gates in 2015, chose to split the prize fund equally between the whole shortlist.

Add punctuation: The 35-year-old Swiss, who is aiming for a record eighth Wimbledon crown and 19th Grand Slam title, beat Alexander Zverev 6-1 6-3 in 53 minutes. German Zverev, 20, beat Federer in last year's semi-final. "It was by far my best match of the week. I'm feeling excellent and it's a pleasure to be back," said Federer, who skipped the clay-court season to rest. Wimbledon starts on Monday, 3 July. Federer, who dropped just nine points on his serve, has won four titles this year, a tally matched only by long-time rival Rafael Nadal. Federer won the Australian Open in January - his first Grand Slam success in five years - despite not playing in the previous six months, claimed the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in March and won the Miami Open two weeks later. In May, he announced he would miss the French Open and the rest of the clay-court season to concentrate on the grass- and hard-court seasons. Federer produced an imperious display against world number 12 Zverev, who is regarded as one of the world's most promising players and reached the top 10 this year after winning three titles. "It has been a difficult year. I have spent a lot of time on practice, training and rehab so it is nice to be back on court," said Federer, who suffered a surprise defeat by Tommy Haas in Stuttgart this month. "I'm not sure if I am going to win this tournament again so I want to enjoy it as much as I can." Top seed Federer broke to love in the opening game, established a 4-0 lead and wrapped up the first set in 22 minutes. He survived a break point in the opening game of the second set - the only chance created by Zverev - before sealing victory with a backhand volley. Federer, whose first success at Halle came in 2003, has won 92 career titles from 140 finals. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.

Add punctuation: The 1988 Primary Five class of Primate Dixon Primary School in Coalisland, had just finished Dahl's Danny, the Champion of the World, when they decided they should write to the author. It was not long before the creator of Willy Wonka, Miss Trunchbull and the Twits replied in his own unique style. According to The Irish News, it was addressed to teacher James Maye and his class and Dahl's poem contrasted the Tyrone schoolteacher's approach to that of his own. "From your letters to me it would seem, That your teacher is clearly a dream. There's no whacks on the bum, When you can't do a sum, Instead you get strawberries and cream", he wrote. But the letter and poem were placed in a drawer where, for almost 30 years, Dahl's correspondence did little but gather dust. "It wasn't until 2012 that our vice principal Siobhan Murphy was clearing out an old desk, an old desk that could easily have been thrown out, and came across the letter," Primate Dixon's principal Sean Dillon told the BBC. He said the school "knew straight away" of the significance of their literary find. The principal's initial research showed the previously unpublished poem had since been printed in the 'Roald Dahl Treasury', a 1997 anthology of unpublished works. On Tuesday, the letter and poem went on display at the school to mark the centenary of Dahl's birth. Mr Dillon said everyone connected to the school is "extremely proud" of their link to the literary great. Dahl's books have long been the bedrock of countless childhoods. More than 200 million copies have been sold worldwide and translated into 59 languages.

Add punctuation: Original stars Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner and Robert Carlyle are all returning for the new film. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Boyle confirmed that the shoot was planned for "May/June". The film, loosely based on Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting follow-up Porno, could be released later next year. Boyle said filming of the sequel might be as tight as the first, which was shot in less than two months. Miller and Carlyle both star in US TV shows - CBS's Elementary and ABC's Once Upon a Time respectively. "They only get this little window off, so either you wait for the contract to run down, which could be as late as three years, or you kind of try and do it in this window," Boyle said. "But all four lads are back in." The original Trainspotting was made on a shoestring budget of just £1.5m. The sequel's budget will be bigger but still relatively modest. "We're doing it for less than $20m, and that'll give us control of the film so we can make the film we want to make," Boyle told the Hollywood Reporter. "That's as much as you can get without being answerable to anybody. You can sort of get on with it without much interference. Although we could have raised a lot more money for this, we didn't, so we're trying to keep some sense like we kept the original." Boyle is hoping Film4, who produced the original, will get on board. He admitted there were reservations among the cast about making a sequel. "The actors were understandably worried about its reputation and not wanting to let people down or to just be cashing in," he said. "So actually the script, which John (Hodge) has written, has been put under a very fierce spotlight by everyone, and it's a good one. "Everyone's attitude is that it'll be an honourable addition and an interesting addition to the original film. We're very positive that we believe it can happen and it's coming true."

Add punctuation: Point of Ayr Colliery, near Prestatyn, closed in 1996 after more than 100 years of mining. Most boys from the adjacent village of Ffynnongroyw followed their fathers and grandfathers down the pit. However, there are fears that younger residents are in danger of forgetting the area's mining heritage. Mike Jones, secretary of the Ffynnongroyw Mining and Village Heritage Group (FMVHG), said the pit opened in the 1880s and at its peak employed 500 workers. He said Ffynnongroyw is packed with miners' cottages and "the sense of community must have been enormous" during the pit's hey-day. "Ffynnongroyw was built as a mining village," Mr Jones added. "Going back 30 years or so, it was predominantly Welsh-speaking, but we have a very transient population now and lots of people have moved away. "The memorial is about bringing back the identity of the village. "All the heritage is passing out of living memory. "If you don't do something to preserve it, it's going to go. "I think the younger generation of the village aren't aware of the heritage." When the pit closed, only a plaque in the village centre marked the rich industrial heritage. Now, the pit's old headgear will be erected alongside the coast road between Ffynnongroyw and Prestatyn, as a lasting memorial. It is hoped there will also eventually be information boards and a seating area. The FMVHG has raised about £4,500 towards the project, and rural development agency Cadwyn Clwyd has provided more than £6,000. About 60 local people saw Flintshire councillor Carolyn Thomas cut the first sod on the new site on Tuesday. Before installation, the headgear will be refurbished and painted by engineers.

Add punctuation: Fu Ying, spokeswoman for China's annual parliament session the National People's Congress (NPC), gave the "rough" figure and said it was in line with overall spending growth. A formal announcement will be made on Thursday when the NPC opens. China has seen several years of double-digit defence spending increases. It is the world's second-highest military spender, but remains far behind the US. Last year, China's defence spending rose 12.2% to $130bn (£85bn). In comparison, for the fiscal year 2016 US President Barack Obama has requested a budget of $585bn. China says the spending is required to modernise the People's Liberation Army - the world's largest standing military. It is pouring investment into hi-tech equipment such as submarines and stealth jets, reports the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing. It has also been investing in naval forces, including an aircraft carrier. Recent media reports that a second was being built were swiftly deleted. China's neighbours are closely watching its military investment. In recent years Beijing has taken a more assertive stance on maritime territorial disputes with both Japan and South East Asian nations, leading to a rise in regional tensions. In response, Japan has begun increasing its military budget, as has India - which has a disputed land border with China. US officials also fear that China understates its current military spending, suspecting the real figure could be considerably higher. Ms Fu said China had not forgotten lessons from history - "those who fall behind will get bullied". "Our country will achieve modernisation, of which national defence modernisation is an important part," she added. "This requires a certain guaranteed amount of funding."

Add punctuation: Every four years since 1983, the question has been asked in India with a mixture of hope and uncertainty. Put like that, the answer is always "yes" for, of course, any of half a dozen countries can win. India's success in 1983 democratised cricket in two ways - by introducing a policy of rotating venues and giving other teams the confidence to aspire for victory. The three tournaments following 1983 saw three different winners; India, as co-hosts were expected to win at least two of them, but Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka came through. Since their second win in 2011, India have played 95 one-day internationals (before the start of the tri-series in Australia), won more matches (57), and scored at a better rate (5.57) than any other team. Only Sri Lanka have played more games (112). The format - every team playing every other in two pools and then the top four from each qualifying for the quarterfinals - means that India can afford one or two bad results and still make the grade, unlike in 2007 when they were under pressure after losing to Bangladesh and failed to make the knockout. When the World Cup was first held in the subcontinent, India and Pakistan were placed in different groups in the fond hope that they would meet in the final. Later, with an India-Pakistan encounter generating the biggest television audience and public interest, no matter where it is played and at what stage, the administrators took the pragmatic step of having these countries in the same group, so at least one clash between them was guaranteed. India's pool comprises South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and UAE. A quarter-final slot seems assured. Two good matches thereafter and they are in the final. All very simple and encouraging on paper - an argument which holds good for the top half a dozen teams. But cricket matches are not played on paper, and that is where India's problems surface. On bouncing Australian wickets and seaming New Zealand wickets, India may not inspire confidence. But this is a team which has for years now divorced its non-performance abroad in the longer format from its intensity and confidence in the shorter ones. That only four players from their Cup-winning side four years ago survive is indication that this team, under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is younger and carries less baggage. Only Dhoni, 33, and Stuart Binny, 30, are out of their 20s. In Virat Kohli, they have one of three finest batsmen in the format today. Rohit Sharma, world record holder with a stunning 264 in an ODI, is a different player from the one whose concentration lapses in the course of a Test innings. Suresh Raina is world class in this format, a long way from the batsman who struggles in Tests, and finished with a pair in his last outing. A batting line-up thus: Shikhar Dhawan, Sharma, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane (or Ambati Rayudu), matches the best in the world. Once again it is the bowling that will cause concern. Ravichandran Ashwin, a 2011 survivor - along with Dhoni, Raina and Kohli - will probably be the spearhead since the fast men haven't been inspiring. Yet, the likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami and Bhuvaneswar Kumar are different bowlers when there is only a maximum of 10 overs to deliver, wicket-taking is not a major concern, and plenty of rest is guaranteed. In any case, unlike Tests which are won by bowlers, one-day matches are won by batsmen, and here India are well served. With Ravindra Jadeja still recovering from injury, and some others showing signs of tiredness following exacting tours of England and Australia, fitness may be a key concern for India. The tri-series in Australia (England are the other team) will provide some answers, but the batting will have to deliver in every match to make up for the weaknesses in bowling. A tall order, but not impossible. Australia, four-time winners, playing at home must start top favourites. South Africa, who have, since their debut in 1992 picked up the tag of "chokers" will, once again, try to shake off that image. They have the team for it. No side has been in the semifinals more often than New Zealand's six. This has been a terrific year for them, and they have been one of the most consistent one-day teams. Any of them can win. Pakistan and Sri Lanka complete the top six candidates. Suresh Menon is Editor, Wisden India Almanack

Add punctuation: The National Audit of Dementia found some improvements since its first analysis of care in England and Wales in 2011. But it says too few patients have their mental state assessed, and information is often not shared properly. The Alzheimer's Society said a "culture change" was needed to improve care further. The audit, commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), was led by the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Centre for Quality Improvement in partnership with other organisations. It looked at data from 210 hospitals across England and Wales, including case notes for 8,000 patients with dementia. Many people with the condition become very confused when they are admitted to hospital. But the audit found only half had their mental state assessed, and even fewer were checked for delirium - a state of mental confusion - rates it said were "alarmingly low". The authors said: "Delirium is associated with greater risks of longer admission, hospital acquired infections, admission to long term care, and death. "Failure to assess and plan for mental health needs may also prevent appropriate assessment and care for physical health needs." In addition, a third of hospitals did not have guidance available to staff on how to involve the patient's carer and how to share information. Flaws were also found with patient notes, which often failed to include information that could have helped staff communicate with them - and with poor discharge information. At board level, the audit said, hospital trusts failed to do enough to review the quality of care for people with dementia. Two in five hospitals did not provide dementia awareness training to new staff. However, since the last audit report in December 2011, some improvements were found. There has been a 10% drop in the overall number of prescriptions of antipsychotic drugs, and patients are now more likely to receive an assessment of the food they are eating. Prof Peter Crome, who led the audit's steering group, said he was pleased there had been improvements since the 2011 report. But he added: "Much still needs to be done and there remains a large gap between what hospitals say should happen and what actually does happen." Prof John Young, the government's National Clinical Director (or tsar) for Integration and the Frail Elderly, who advised the audit, said: "Hospitals are at last engaging with the special care requirements necessary to support people with dementia and their families." George McNamara, head of policy and public affairs at the Alzheimer's Society, said: "Given that people with dementia occupy a quarter of hospital beds, it is scandalous that improving dementia care is not a top priority for a number of hospital managers." He said hospitals must do more to give staff the training they needed to look after patients with dementia better. Dr Peter Carter, general secretary the Royal College of Nursing, said: "A recent RCN report found that specialist dementia nurses can reduce the length of hospital stays, prevent readmissions and provide education and leadership for other staff. "We must not deny our most vulnerable patients these improvements in care, and dementia specialist nurses should be a top priority."

Add punctuation: Dr Sok-Sithikun Bun, from Monaco, did a small trial, with 48 women, and found electrocardiogram (ECG) tests, which measure the electrical activity of the heart, were often unreliable because the breast implants "got in the way". Dr Bun is presenting his findings at a conference in Austria. Having a pre-implant ECG for doctors to refer to would help, he said. "We do not want to frighten patients, but it may be wise to have an ECG before a breast implant operation," Dr Bun said. "The ECG can be kept on file and used for comparison if the patient ever needs another ECG." Doctors use ECGs to help them diagnose the cause of chest pain. Small sticky patches, called electrodes, are put on the patient's arms, legs and chest and connected by wires to the ECG machine, which picks up and records the electrical signals, which can then be printed on to paper. The women in the ECG trial were in their early 30s to late 40s and healthy, with no known heart problems - 28 of them had implants, 20 did not. Two independent heart experts, who had never met the participants and did not know whether or not they had had implants, interpreted the women's ECG results. More than a third of the scans from the implant group were interpreted as "abnormal" by these experts. But the women were given a clear bill of health with other heart checks. "We think the abnormal ECG recordings were false readings due to the implants," said Dr Bun. "We have two hypotheses. It might be the composition of the implant that acts like a barrier for the electrical signals coming from the heart. "Or, it may be a slightly different position of the ECG [chest] electrodes due to the breast implants." The danger was that ECG readings would be confusing for doctors and get in the way of them reaching a speedy diagnosis, said Dr Bun. "Doctors could mistakenly conclude that a patient with breast implants has a manifestation of coronary artery disease if they believe in the false ECG findings," he said. It is not clear if the size of the implant matters. Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said the findings would apply to the significant number of women who have had breast implants, either following treatment for breast cancer or as a cosmetic procedure. "These findings will help those reading an ECG to avoid the risk of a false diagnosis and any unnecessary follow-up tests or treatment."

Dr Sok-Sithikun Bun, from Monaco, did a small trial, with 48 women, and found electrocardiogram (ECG) tests, which measure the electrical activity of the heart, were often unreliable because the breast implants "got in the way". Dr Bun is presenting his findings at a conference in Austria. Having a pre-implant ECG for doctors to refer to would help, he said. "We do not want to frighten patients, but it may be wise to have an ECG before a breast implant operation," Dr Bun said. "The ECG can be kept on file and used for comparison if the patient ever needs another ECG." Doctors use ECGs to help them diagnose the cause of chest pain. Small sticky patches, called electrodes, are put on the patient's arms, legs and chest and connected by wires to the ECG machine, which picks up and records the electrical signals, which can then be printed on to paper. The women in the ECG trial were in their early 30s to late 40s and healthy, with no known heart problems - 28 of them had implants, 20 did not. Two independent heart experts, who had never met the participants and did not know whether or not they had had implants, interpreted the women's ECG results. More than a third of the scans from the implant group were interpreted as "abnormal" by these experts. But the women were given a clear bill of health with other heart checks. "We think the abnormal ECG recordings were false readings due to the implants," said Dr Bun. "We have two hypotheses. It might be the composition of the implant that acts like a barrier for the electrical signals coming from the heart.

Bennett latched onto a defence-splitting through ball to put the visitors ahead after just three minutes. And, but for two good saves by home keeper Alex Lynch, it could have been more. Chester responded towards the end of the first half, as top scorer James Alabi and captain Tom Shaw both had shots blocked. But, fresh from Saturday's 4-2 win at Solihull, Barrow continued to look the greater threat after the break. And they clinched all three points 14 minutes from time when Williams cut in from the left to fire a low shot which Lynch allowed to slip under his body.

Add punctuation: Russian Aleksandr Andreevich Panin has been sentenced to nine-and-a-half years in jail. His accomplice, Algerian Hamza Bendelladj, will serve 15 years. They created the SpyEye virus package that is believed to have infected more than 50 million computers. The sophisticated malware could steal sensitive data or let hackers use infected machines to send spam. The pair used SpyEye themselves but also offered it as a malware "kit" to anyone willing to pay for it, said the US Department of Justice (DoJ). The most sophisticated version of SpyEye cost about $10,000. Once large numbers of PCs were infected with SpyEye, the pair ran tools that siphoned off cash and also helped the malware spread further. Cleaning up the damage caused by SpyEye from 2010 to 2012 is believed to have cost banks around the world more than $1bn, said the DoJ. "It is difficult to overstate the significance of this case, not only in terms of bringing two prolific computer hackers to justice, but also in disrupting and preventing immeasurable financial losses to individuals and the financial industry around the world," said US attorney John Horn in a statement. "The sentences that were imposed reflect the magnitude of the harm," said Mr Horn. Panin, known as "Gribodemon" and "Harderman" online, pleaded guilty to bank and wire fraud charges in January 2014 after reaching a deal with prosecutors. "I want everyone in this courtroom to understand my actions were inexcusable and inexplicable," said Panin at the sentencing hearing. Panin was arrested in 2013 as he passed through Atlanta, Georgia on an international flight. Bendelladj, known as Bx1 online, also pleaded guilty but has not reached a deal with prosecutors. His lawyer said he planned to appeal. Bendelladj was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand in early 2013 while changing planes and was extradited to the US shortly afterwards. Tackling SpyEye helped law enforcement officers shut down a notorious malware marketplace called Darkode.com, said prosecutor Steven Grimberg. Panin and Bendelladj were "legends" in the criminal underworld, said Mr Grimberg, adding that the sentences would send a message to other cybercriminals.

Mr Hammond was flown to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he remains "sedated, to aid his recovery". Family spokesman Nik Coleman said he was due to undergo further tests. The pilot was wearing a helmet that gave him a "very high degree of protection", said Mr Coleman in response to "speculation online". "His family have visited with him [sic] and are encouraged by his progress," he added. More on this and other news from Norfolk Mr Hammond, from Eye in Suffolk, is said to be one of the UK's top aviators of the American plane, an expert on plane restoration and has appeared on a Discovery Channel series, Plane Resurrection. The P-51 D Model Mustang - one of two Mustangs owned by airshow regular Mr Hammond - was on fire when emergency services arrived at the site, about 10 miles south of Norwich. A witness reported he saw it approach the runway normally but it then disappeared behind trees and he heard a small explosion. A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said it was due to remove the plane from the crash site later, in an operation that could last until the evening. "It will be brought back to our headquarters in Farnborough and investigations will continue here," he said. It could be months before the inquiry is completed, he added. Norfolk Police said road closures remained in place.

Add punctuation: Jose Fonte's first goal for 18 months gave the hosts the lead, glancing in a header from Dusan Tadic's corner. Virgil van Dijk earlier saw a header cleared off the line, but he doubled the lead with a close-range prod. Vardy headed the Foxes back into the match, before blasting home his ninth of the season in injury time to keep the Foxes in fifth. Relive the match action here All the Premier League action and reaction Not judging by their second-half display. The Foxes have scored in every Premier League match this season and, sparked into life by the half-time introduction of forwards Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Dyer, they earned an unlikely point with a stunning final 45 minutes. Southampton were in complete control at half-time but, helped by the trickery of Mahrez and the clinical finishing of Vardy, the Foxes again showed they should never be ruled out. The draw is the seventh point Leicester have earned from a losing position this season. It would be very hard to leave the Leicester and England striker at home in the summer on this form. The 28-year-old, who was playing for Fleetwood in League Two in 2012, became just the fourth Englishman to score in six consecutive Premier League matches this century when he headed home to give the Foxes hope after the break. Before he hammered in a late equaliser, the striker shot over from close range and was a constant threat for Leicester after the break. Vardy, already in the England squad, is playing with a double fracture to his wrist, but looks determined to push his international cause with the likes of Liverpool's Danny Ings and Daniel Sturridge struggling with injury. He now has three more goals than any of his Premier League rivals. Media playback is not supported on this device The introduction of Leicester substitutes Mahrez and Dyer at the start of the second half changed the pattern of the game. Algerian Mahrez has been a key player for the Foxes this season and the forward proved so again, creating chance after chance playing just behind striker Vardy. It was his pass that created the equaliser while Swansea City loanee Dyer also made a big impact on the wing, crossing for Vardy's opener. Southampton should have had the game out of sight, with Sadio Mane delaying after rounding goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel when 2-0 up, but the hosts tired as the match wore on with all 10 of their starting outfield players involved in international duty in the past week. Southampton boss Ronald Koeman on BBC Sport: "It was a difficult game. Defensively we did well in the first half and we scored from set pieces. "But I expected a difficult second half because we know one of Leicester's strengths is unbelievable spirit and we have to be more clever.

Add punctuation: Some infections are becoming almost impossible to treat, because of the excessive use of antibiotics. And more than half of those used around the world are used in animals, often to make them grow more quickly. The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance called for new targets on the amount of antibiotics used. The great threat of excessive antibiotics use in agriculture was highlighted in China last month. Scientists warned the world was on the cusp of the "post-antibiotic era" after discovering bacteria resistant to the antibiotic colistin - the medication used when all others have failed. It appeared to develop in farm animals before also being detected in hospital patients. In some cases, antibiotics are used in agriculture to treat infections - but most are used prophylactically in healthy animals to prevent infection or, controversially, as a way of boosting weight gain. Using antibiotics as growth promoters was banned in the EU in 2006. Such uses are more common in intensive farming conditions. Based on current rates, the global consumption of antibiotics is expected to increase by 67% by 2030. In the US alone, every year, 3,400 tonnes of antibiotics are used on patients, while 8,900 tonnes are used on animals. The economist who led the review, Jim O'Neill, said such figures were simply "staggering" and 10 million people would die each year from drug-resistant infections by 2050. He said a reasonable target for agricultural antibiotic use would be 50mg for every 1kg of livestock - a level already achieved by one of the world's biggest pork exporters, Denmark. The UK uses just over 50mg/kg, the US uses nearly 200mg/kg, while Cyprus uses more than 400mg/kg. Mr O'Neill told the BBC: "I'm sure many farmers will immediately think, 'Well, if we have to do this, that means the price goes up and I'll go out of business'. "The Danish example shows that, after a very initial transition cost, actually over the long term prices weren't affected and Denmark has continued to maintain its market share." Antibiotics are most useful in cramped dirty conditions where infections are easier to spread, so more spacious and hygienic living conditions are one way to reduce the need for antibiotics. There are also calls for greater investment in research for vaccines and for tests that can diagnose specific infections. The review also says countries should agree on a banned list of antibiotics that would never be used in animals, because of their importance to human health. Dr Jianzhong Shen, from the China Agricultural University and one of the discoverers of colistin resistance, said: "All countries in the world should use the antibiotics in food animals more prudently and rationally. "Now it is the time to act globally to restrict or prohibit the use of antibiotics in feeds for the purpose of growth promoter or disease preventing."

Add punctuation: It also wants company directors to be held responsible for unwanted phone calls from their businesses The taskforce has recommended that the threshold at which regulators are able to act on complaints should be lowered. The Nuisance Calls Task Force said cold-callers should not cause "severe distress" to consumers. Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) cold-callers could face fines of up to 20% of their annual turnover under the proposals. And Ofcom and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) will be able to share information on rogue companies. Up to one billion unwanted phone calls are received by members of the public in the UK each year, the taskforce said. Which? executive director and taskforce chairman Richard Lloyd said many British firms were "breaking the law". He said companies that were contacting people despite their having "opted out" of receiving direct marketing calls were acting illegally. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the way in which the law was enforced had not been good enough. Mr Lloyd said the trade in personal data, responsible for the vast majority of nuisance calls, was "out of control", adding that the "market in personal data needs properly investigating and sorting out". He also called on regulators to clamp down on the abuse of existing legislation. "We want to see business with good reputations that aren't keeping a close enough eye on this making sure that there is someone senior on their board who will be held to account if those nuisance calls are being generated by that businesses activity," Mr Lloyd said. Between April and June this year, 40,000 people complained to the Information Commissioner about unwanted live or automated calls to their phones. Most focused on accident or PPI claims, as well as some debt consolidation company calls. The Nuisance Call Task Force said many consumers did not know that they had unwittingly given their consent to be contacted by these companies. Ed Vaizey, the Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy, said: "For too long, nuisance calls have plagued consumers, often at very inconvenient times of the day and in some cases, leaving vulnerable people like the elderly too scared to answer the phone. "That's why we're determined to tackle this scourge through the first-ever nuisance calls action plan. "We've already made progress, including making it easier for Ofcom to share information with the ICO about companies breaking the rules, and we're currently looking at lowering or removing the legal threshold before firms could be hit with fines of up to £500,000."

It also wants company directors to be held responsible for unwanted phone calls from their businesses The taskforce has recommended that the threshold at which regulators are able to act on complaints should be lowered. The Nuisance Calls Task Force said cold-callers should not cause "severe distress" to consumers. Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) cold-callers could face fines of up to 20% of their annual turnover under the proposals. And Ofcom and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) will be able to share information on rogue companies. Up to one billion unwanted phone calls are received by members of the public in the UK each year, the taskforce said. Which? executive director and taskforce chairman Richard Lloyd said many British firms were "breaking the law". He said companies that were contacting people despite their having "opted out" of receiving direct marketing calls were acting illegally. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the way in which the law was enforced had not been good enough. Mr Lloyd said the trade in personal data, responsible for the vast majority of nuisance calls, was "out of control", adding that the "market in personal data needs properly investigating and sorting out". He also called on regulators to clamp down on the abuse of existing legislation. "We want to see business with good reputations that aren't keeping a close enough eye on this making sure that there is someone senior on their board who will be held to account if those nuisance calls are being generated by that businesses activity," Mr Lloyd said. Between April and June this year, 40,000 people complained to the Information Commissioner about unwanted live or automated calls to their phones. Most focused on accident or PPI claims, as well as some debt consolidation company calls.

Add punctuation: The Scots, ranked 21st in the world, will play fifth-ranked England - the group's top seeds - on Wednesday, 19 July in Utrecht. "So many of our players play in England and have best friends in the England team," said head coach Anna Signeul. "So I think they will be very excited. I hope it is very motivating for them. It is something to look forward to." Signeul believes Scotland "couldn't have asked for anything better" in terms of "getting a little bit of attention around the tournament" by drawing England first up. Her side will then play Portugal, ranked 40th, in Rotterdam on Sunday, 23 July. Their final group game will be against Spain, ranked 14th, in Deventer on Thursday, 27 July. "They are two teams we have to watch out for," Signeul told BBC Scotland. "We know they have developed a lot. "Spain have had huge success on the youth side and their young players are coming through to the senior team and showing a lot of progress. So we have two very difficult teams there as well. It is an interesting and exciting group." It is Scotland's first time at a major finals after 13 failed attempts, having finished runner-up to Iceland in their qualifying campaign. Despite a convincing qualifying campaign in which Scotland won seven and lost one of their eight games, they were beaten 7-0 in a home friendly by Euro hosts the Netherlands in October, underlining the scale of the challenge to progress to the knock-out stages next summer. "When you look at the draw and the 16 teams, you realise how big this tournament has become and how many good teams there are in Europe now playing women's football, competing at the highest level," Signeul added. "Germany, England, France and Holland are all very, very strong and it will take a lot for us to be able to compete, but we are going to try."

Add punctuation: Individuals are now putting aside an average of £113.77 each month - or 8.52% of their income. Both figures are higher than at any time in the last ten years. The amounts reflect what people are putting into bank accounts or other savings products like ISAs, but exclude pension contributions. The rise over the last year has been particularly noticeable, with monthly savings up by 9.25% over the last year. That may well be partly explained by the rush among those over 65 to buy the government's pensioner bonds, which offer attractive rates of interest. All other savers have had to contend with continuing low interest rates, which have reduced savings rates to as little as 0.01% a year. "The latest results are encouraging, but we hope more people will be putting aside money into their rainy day savings, so they feel ready to deal with an emergency should one arise," said Julian Hynd, the retail director at NS&I. The figures were based on a survey of 2,431 adults, conducted in January and February, 2015.

Add punctuation: David James Taylor, 33, and his Australian girlfriend Sara Connor, 45, have been detained over the death of Wayan Sudarsa. The policeman's body was discovered at Kuta beach at 03:30 on 17 August with dozens of head and neck wounds. The pair face up to 15 years in jail if they are found guilty of murder. Mr Taylor's lawyer, Erick Sihombing, said his client confessed to hitting the the police officer after accusing him of stealing Ms Connor's missing handbag. "He found an old cell phone, he hit the guy's head on the back maybe twice. There is a bottle and an old phone," Mr Sihombing told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "They found on their clothes and trousers a stain of blood and hair, that's why they tried to get rid of them by burning their clothes." The couple were apprehended by police outside the Australian Consulate in Bali on 19 August. Mr Taylor - who performs as DJ Nutzo - is originally from Halifax had reportedly been dating Ms Connor for three months. Police said the couple's blood was found near the crime scene, in their hotel room and on Mr Taylor's scooter. Authorities said a broken beer bottle found near the crime scene may be the murder weapon. The pair have been named as suspects in the murder but under Indonesian law have not been formally charged. Police have 120 days to build their case before prosecutors decide if they will lay charges. Both are receiving consular assistance from their respective countries. Ms Connor had reportedly gone to Bali to meet Mr Taylor after he was unable to get a tourist visa for Australia. The mother-of-two is well known on the New South Wales north coast for her small business Byron Bay Fresh Pasta. Ms Connor's legal team insisted she was not involved in the killing. On 21 August her family issued a statement in her defence: "The accusations laid against her are totally out of character." Bali is a popular Western tourist destination, known for its tropical climate and palm-fringed beaches. Petty crime is common on the island, though more serious crime is rare.

The visitors were back in it by the break after Lasse Vigen Christensen easily headed in Jazz Richards' cross. Matt Doherty extended Wolves' lead with a long-range goal before a late Ross McCormack strike set up a tense finale. Having now won four consecutive league matches, Wolves move up to 10th in the Championship table, seven points shy of the play-off places, while Fulham remain 19th. Media playback is not supported on this device The hosts broke the deadlock on six minutes when Graham produced his eighth assist of the season to tee up Zyro, who joined Wolves from Polish side Legia Warsaw last month, to put the hosts ahead. A superb home debut for Zyro continued in the 13th minute when he made easy work of beating Fulham's offside trap to place the ball through goalkeeper Andy Lonergan's legs. The away side worked their way back into the game on 24 minutes when Richards sent a curling ball into the box for Christensen to coolly nod past Carl Ikeme. Wolves re-established their two-goal lead three minutes after the break through Doherty's powerful shot from 35 yards after Graham's corner had been cleared. And, although McCormack scored from 20 yards with just over 15 minutes to play, Wolves were able to hold on. Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "It was a big win for us and full credit to the players as four Championship wins on the trot is not an easy thing to do. "We wanted to put on a spirited and hard-working performances for our fans as there is some uncertainty around and I can feel it because of the sale of Benik Afobe. "And I felt that the players answered it and responded in the right way and played with a lot of pride in playing for Wolves." Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic: "I am trying to find the way for the team. We are not playing the same way that Fulham did before. We are a very good team with the ball but right now very soft without the ball. "It is important to try and have more time with the ball in our possession to stop suffering so much.

Add punctuation: The service made the claim after apologising to an elderly Shrewsbury patient who was left waiting for more than an hour for an ambulance. A WMAS spokesman said it was "unlikely to be the last time such circumstances occur". The Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group said it would be "working to identify how we can improve services". In a statement, WMAS said at the time of the call over the weekend, all available ambulances were already dealing 999 calls, but that the delay "was unacceptable". The spokesman said staff were "left frustrated because there simply aren't enough ambulances available". The number of ambulances stationed in Shropshire ranges from 11 overnight to 15 during the day. While funding has been increased in recent years, the spokesman said it had simply kept pace with rising demand and failed to tackle historical underfunding. He said WMAS "simply does not have the necessary resources to provide enough ambulances for Shropshire". In February 2011, the service called for an extra £1.2m to provide two additional ambulances. A commissioning group spokesman said providing a service in a sparsely-populated county was "always difficult". "We do not receive additional funding for providing ambulance services in rural areas and we are raising awareness of the challenges this presents at a national level," he added.

The application for the European Peace Three money was submitted in January 2011 and confirmed - with conditions - in December. A firm financial offer reached the office of the first and deputy first minister last week. The money comes from the same European fund that provided £13m for the Peace Bridge over the River Foyle in Londonderry. Since the Maze closed 12 years ago there has been a constant debate about how the extensive site should be used. It was ear-marked for a new national sports stadium but the proposal was rejected after years of disagreement. The conflict resolution centre will provide a place for visitors from around the world to exchange views on conflict transformation, a focus for education and research about the troubles together with exhibition space and an archive. It is envisaged there will be input from ex-prisoners, prison officers and victims. The centre will sit alongside a preserved H block and other buildings, including the chapel and the hospital where the hunger strikers died. Unionists have been critical of the preserving of certain parts because of their significance to the republican movement. Ten members of the IRA and INLA starved themselves to death in the Maze in 1981 and it was also the scene of their 'dirty protest'. Thirty-eight IRA prisoners also took part in the largest prison escape in British history in 1983. The project's supporters portray it as an important building block in redeveloping an area twice the size of Belfast's Titanic Quarter - an investment which it is argued could generate as many as 5,000 jobs over the next 20 years. No official announcement on the conflict transformation centre is expected until progress can also be confirmed on the Maze's wider economic regeneration. That will include a planned move by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society from Balmoral in south Belfast to a new Maze centre of rural excellence. It's thought the first agricultural show could take place on the site of the former jail as early as next year.

Add punctuation: Back-to-back home losses had left the Cubs on the brink of defeat in the best-of-seven series, but Sunday's win means they trail 3-2 as they return to Cleveland for Tuesday's Game Six. Kris Bryant's fourth-inning home run proved decisive as the Cubs claimed a first home World Series win since 1945. The Cubs have gone 108 years without winning baseball's biggest prize. The Indians last won in 1948 and can end that drought - the second longest in baseball behind the Cubs - with victory on Tuesday. Game Seven, if required, will also be played in Cleveland, on Wednesday.

Add punctuation: The 21-year-old left-handed opener played in all three formats for the club in 2015, finishing as second-highest run-scorer in the One-Day Cup. "His performances in 2015 merit the extension," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said. "But for an unfortunate injury, he would have played a near full season." Gubbins, who joined the north London club's youth system aged 14, scored 354 runs at an average of 27.23 in his seven County Championship appearances this year. He also hit 339 runs at 56.50 in the One-Day Cup, including a score of 141 against Sussex, and scored 121 runs in the T20 Blast. Fraser said the Richmond-born player had "showed the ability to thrive" in all forms of the game. "We believe Nick is an exciting talent and we know he has an excellent work ethic," he added. "The two qualities give him a great chance of having a long and distinguished career in cricket."

Add punctuation: Derry bounced back from their opening day defeat by Finn Harps to dominate affairs with Barry McNamee hitting the side-netting in the first half. Curtis capped an impressive display by firing low inside the post on the hour. Cork midfielder Greg Bolger was shown straight red card for a poor challenge on Curtis with 10 minutes remaining. It was also a first competitive win for new Derry boss Kenny Shiels and it was a deserved victory against a team tipped to challenge for the title. Patterson saw his close-range free-kick charged down after Cork keeper Mark McNulty lifted the ball in the box from a poor back-pass. Derry continued to threaten after the break with Conor McCormack sending a long-range effort just over. Curtis, who set up McNamee for his first-half chance, was Derry's dangerman and the duo combined again for the only goal of the game. Cork put in a lacklustre performance and Bolger's dismissal completed a miserable night for the Leesiders. There was applause on 18 minutes in memory of Mark Farren, the former Candystripes striker who died last month. Farren's number 18 shirt was retired by the club before the game.
