The city in western Germany is putting 2,500 police officers on the streets for the week-long event. Germany was shocked by the New Year assaults, largely blamed on migrants. More than 100 women were victims, but the full scale only emerged later. Separately, police have arrested three suspected Islamist militants in raids. Cologne sex attacks: Women describe 'terrible' assaults The raids on flats and offices took place on Thursday in Berlin, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. The two men and one woman detained are among four suspected of links to the so-called Islamic State group. One of those held was being sought by Algerian authorities, and they may have been planning an attack in Germany, police said. The New Year unrest in Cologne fuelled German unease about a huge influx of asylum seekers. Two men - a Tunisian and a Moroccan - have been charged over the Cologne offences. But in total there were 945 complaints to Cologne police after the New Year trouble, 559 of them allegations of sexual assault. Thirty-five suspects are being investigated. German authorities spoke of a new type of crime, in which gangs of drunken men - described as North African - targeted women. Cologne resident Miriam was attacked as she and a friend made her way home on New Year's Eve. She said she was going to the carnival celebrations "but with really mixed feelings". "I'm wondering if something like that could happen again." Miriam's mother, Jozi, said the incident changed the way she sees migrants. "We live in a multicultural area with lots of Moroccans, I've never had a second thought before - we're friends, we greet each other, talk to each other. It was all fine. But now I'm looking at it with different eyes." Organisers have not said how many people have attended this year's carnival, but correspondents say the numbers are much lower than in previous years. Police will be present at a new "Security Point" for women near Cologne Cathedral - the area where most of the assaults took place during New Year celebrations. Police have been trialling "body cams" which can film suspects during incidents. German authorities have also brought in British face recognition experts to help identify those involve in the attacks on New Year's Eve. Known as "super-recognisers", the officers from the London Metropolitan Police can recognise up to 95% of the faces they have seen - compared to about 20% for most people. Migration to Germany from outside the EU soared to a record 1.1 million last year. The Cologne assaults contributed to a slump in the approval rating of Chancellor Angela Merkel. She has been criticised by conservative allies, as well as by many opposition politicians, for having welcomed so many asylum seekers to Germany. The many Syrian and Iraqi refugees generally get asylum, but many economic migrants from outside the EU are also trying to settle in Germany.

Cologne has beefed up security for the city's annual carnival, after many women suffered sexual assaults and robberies there on New Year's Eve.

PC Gillian Weatherley was dismissed for "gross misconduct", Scotland Yard said. She was sacked for leaking information about the 2012 argument between police officers and MP Andrew Mitchell. PCs Keith Wallis and James Glanville have already been sacked for gross misconduct, with two more officers yet to face such hearings. Mr Mitchell was accused of calling officers plebs during the argument at the gates of Downing Street - an allegation he has denied. The Conservative MP resigned as chief whip in the wake of the controversy. A panel chaired by Commander Julian Bennett found PC Weatherley had breached professional standards in relation to "honesty and integrity; orders and instructions; confidentiality; discreditable conduct and challenging and reporting improper conduct". The Met said it had brought the gross misconduct case after the Crown Prosecution Service decided in November that criminal prosecution was not appropriate. PC Weatherley was on duty at the Downing Street gates on the night of the dispute, 19 September 2012, and the Met said she had exchanged several messages with PC Glanville over the next three days. It added that she had subsequently given "inaccurate and misleading statements" to detectives from Operation Alice - the investigation into alleged misconduct by officers. Scotland Yard said it "would not disclose" how information was leaked to the press by PC Weatherley or to whom.

A police officer has been sacked over press leaks about the "plebgate" affair, becoming the third Met PC to be dismissed over the row.

Thomas Buckett, now 21, fell 15ft (4.5m) through a skylight at Clayton Hall Business and Language College, Staffordshire, in May 2010. He shattered one side of his skull and was in a critical condition for two weeks. A compensation claim launched by his family was thrown out on Monday. Judge Main QC heard Mr Buckett had been left with "a legacy of significant physical, intellectual and behavioural dysfunction" but found that the injuries "arose directly from his own actions". He heard Mr Buckett was part of a group of youths that had earlier broken into the college and engaged in "vandalism, criminal damage and dishonest criminal behaviour", including stealing items from the tuck shop. The judge, sitting at Telford County Court, concluded the group had moved on to explore part of the roof and Mr Buckett had probably jumped down on to the skylight, "thinking it would hold his weight and not with the intention of breaking it". While criticising a Staffordshire County Council risk assessment and saying such a trespass incident should have been foreseen, Judge Main found in favour of the authority and dismissed the claim. The Buckett family has declined to comment. Their solicitors described the judge's ruling as "extremely disappointing". Dianne Yates, partner at Birchall Blackburn Law, said the judge had dismissed legal arguments in respect to the "criminal behaviour", but had not been able to award damages due to case law. "Thomas has suffered life-changing injuries and the family is now looking at how they can ensure he has sufficient care going forward," she said. In a statement, Staffordshire County Council described it as a "terrible incident" that had "a profound and life-changing impact on Thomas and his family". "However, our decision to defend this case was about fairness to the taxpayer," council chief executive John Tradewell said. He said it was not fair for public money to be used for compensation under these circumstances. "The county council will continue to help Thomas access the care and support he needs to live as fulfilling a life as possible." The family was ordered to pay £150,000 costs.

The family of a teenager left with severe head injuries after a roof fall has been ordered to pay £150,000 after losing a compensation claim.

The units in North Tyneside and Northumberland have been shut between midnight and 08:00 since December. Overnight emergencies have been diverted to the recently-opened Northumbria Hospital in Cramlington. The closures at North Tyneside, Hexham and Wansbeck hospitals, will continue for a further three months. The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust said the impact on patients had been minimal as the units were underused at night. Staff from the units have been moved to the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, in Cramlington, which opened in 2015, to deal with a "very high demand" in day-time admissions. A spokesman said it would be "inappropriate" to deploy staff back to the urgent care centres overnight at the current time. He added: "This is to ensure best use of precious staffing resources to deliver patient care where it is needed most." The trust said since opening the Northumbria hospital in June 2015, activity overnight at the urgent care centres had been "minimal" with, on average, less than 10 overnight attendances a day across all three centres. The spokesman added: "We'd like to assure residents that this decision to temporarily extend the current arrangements at our urgent care centres has not been taken lightly. "It was entirely correct for us to put in place the interim changes in the wake of services being extremely busy across the NHS. They have helped us successfully meet the high demand we continue to see, even now during the summer. "As a result, it would simply not be the best use of our staff's time and expertise to deploy them back now."

Three emergency care units are to remain closed to overnight patients in an effort to keep "precious staffing resources" focused on daytime care.

The Football Association, known simply as the FA, is the organisation that looks after all football in England. Similar organisations play the same role for football in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It was formed in 1863 and is the oldest football association in the world. As the first ever football association, it does not need to call itself the "English" FA. The FA is based at Wembley Stadium in London. It controls many different competitions, the most famous of which is the FA Cup. It is also responsible for appointing the manager of the men's, women's, and youth England football teams. Although it does not run the day-to-day operations of the Premier League, it does have some say in English football's biggest league. The FA has been accused of being old fashioned and out of date in the way it is run, and the people it has in power. The government has repeatedly called for the FA to be more of a reflection of modern society, and those who play the game. It also wants the organisation to change the way it makes decisions. The FA is run by a group of people called the FA Council, which has 122 members. Just eight of these members are women and only four are from ethnic minorities. More than 90 of the 122 members are aged over 60. This is a big area where some people believe the FA needs to change. The government wants more women and people from ethnic minorities to have a say in how the FA is run. Other areas that the government wants to change are for fans to have more input, and changes to limit the power and influence of the Premier League. On 9 February, MPs in the House of Commons, had a debate about whether they believed the FA can change itself, or whether the government needs to step in to force changes. They voted that they had "no confidence" in the Football Association to make the changes. The vote itself does not have any powers or immediate effect on the FA, but it will be seen as a warning to the organisation that the government could force them to change if they don't act soon. The FA faces losing getting money from the government, but is confident they can make the changes themselves to keep the government happy.

MPs have voted to say that they don't believe the biggest organisation in English football, the FA, can make the changes needed to keep it modern and relevant.

Father Benedict Seed, 83, denies the charges, which include striking pupils aged between 11 and 18 with a cane and a spiked golf shoe in the 70s and 80s. He is also charged with pulling a boy from his bed and hitting him on the body with a hockey stick. He denies all the charges and will face trial in Inverness in May. An interim hearing into the case was heard at Inverness Sheriff Court on Friday.

The trial of a former priest accused of assaulting eight boys while teaching at Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands has been adjourned until May.

The hosts broke the deadlock 13 minutes into the second period courtesy of a Colin Shields strike. Steve Saviano doubled the lead midway through the third period before Shields sealed victory with 46 seconds left. Belfast, who have played one game less than Cardiff, take on the Capitals again on Friday at the same venue.

Belfast Giants have closed the gap on Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils to six points with this comfortable win over the Capitals at the SSE Arena.

Fergus Ewing said it meant 16,521 farmers had now received their Common Agricultural Policy payments. The government has been facing pressure to deal with "failures" in the subsidies payment system. It emerged on Friday that any fine may be waived and an extension to the deadline no longer required if a 90% target was met. Mr Ewing said: "As of close of business last night, and subject to final confirmation, we have made BPS, Greener and Young Farmer payments to 16,521 farmers and crofters, valued at £343m. This represents around 90.4% of expected total payments for those schemes. "We are awaiting a final determination from the European Commission regarding an extension to the payment deadline to 15 October, if necessary, on the grounds of the acutely challenging delivery and implementation issues we face in Scotland. "Our payments made to date, along with the national loan scheme mean that the majority of farmers and crofters have received their money." He added: "Over the coming weeks we will be working hard to ensure that we complete the remaining payments due to farmers and crofters as quickly as possible." The government has accelerated payments in recent weeks amid political pressure from opposition parties, and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has apologised to farmers for "failures" with the system. An extension was granted in 2016, after problems arose with a new £178m IT system for delivering the payments. Audit Scotland has estimated that fines for missing the deadlines could run to £60m, and have warned there are still "significant costs and risks for the Scottish government" over the IT problems. The latest deadline pressure has sparked a political row at Holyrood, with Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson accusing Mr Ewing and Ms Sturgeon of "not being straight" with MSPs and farmers. The first minister said "rapid daily progress" was being made in getting payments through, and insisted she and her ministers had been clear with parliament. Mr Ewing described criticism as "fanciful".

Scotland's rural affairs secretary has said 90.4% of EU farm payments were made before the midnight deadline.

Beji Caid Essebsi, who won the first round with 39% of the vote, is challenging interim leader Moncef Marzouki. Mr Essebsi represents the secular-leaning Nidaa Tounes party. Tunisia was the first country to depose its leader in the Arab Spring and inspired other uprisings in the region. Polls closed at 18:00 local time (17:00 GMT). Voter turnout had reached 36.8% after four and a half hours of voting, Tunisia's election authority said. Shortly after polls closed, Mr Essebsi's office said that there were "indications" that he had won. However, a spokesman for Mr Marzouki said the claims were "without foundation". Mr Essebsi, who turned 88 this week, held office under both deposed President Zine el-Abedine Ben Ali and Tunisia's first post-independence leader, Habib Bourguiba. He is popular in the wealthy, coastal regions, and based his appeal to voters on stability and experience. His opponent, Moncef Marzouki, is a 67-year-old human rights activists forced into exile by the Ben Ali government. He has been interim president since 2011 and is more popular in the conservative, poorer south. After casting his ballot, Mr Marzouki said Tusinians "should be proud" of themselves "because the interim period has come to a peaceful end". Mr Marzouki was thought likely to attract support from the moderate Islamist Ennahda party, which has played a key role in Tunisian politics since the Arab Spring but did not field a candidate. Whoever wins faces restricted powers under a constitution passed earlier this year. The president will be commander-in-chief of the armed forces but can appoint or sack senior officers only in consultation with the prime minister. The president will also set foreign policy in consultation with the prime minister, represent the state and ratify treaties. Tunisia boosted security for the elections and closed border posts with Libya, which has been plagued by unrest. A group of at least three attackers targeted a polling station near the city of Kairouan on Sunday morning. Security forces say they killed one attacker and arrested three. In the build-up to the vote, a video emerged of Islamic State militants claiming responsibility for the 2013 killings of two Tunisian politicians. The men in the video also condemned the election and threatened more killings. An interior ministry spokesman dismissed the video, saying the group "mean nothing to us". About 5.2 million Tunisians were eligible to vote in the run-off poll. At least 88,000 observers oversaw the election, according to Tunisian state media.

Voters in Tunisia have been choosing their first freely elected president in a run-off election seen as a landmark in the country's move to democracy.

Media playback is not supported on this device Paris Saint-Germain's £50 million defender David Luiz waved across the Parc des Princes pitch and then gestured with a thumbs up. Beaming with a bright smile I waved back immediately, then embarrassment set in. I realised the recognition wasn't for me, it was for another Ballymena man standing just to my left, the head groundsman at PSG. I was immensely proud for Jonathan Calderwood. A man raised just 'up the road' from me in Clough, County Antrim. This is a matchday ritual for Jonathan, receiving accolades from some of the world's most expensive footballers. "When we played Barcelona, I was told that Messi and Neymar both said it was the best pitch they've ever played on, when we played Real Madrid in September I got the same feedback from them," he said. It all started at east Belfast club Glentoran, where Jonathan cut his teeth (and grass) at the Oval. Next stop was the old Wembley Stadium in London, which coincided with his studies at Myrescough College, where he gained a National Diploma in Turf Science. Jonathan worked his way through the ranks, ending up as deputy head groundsman at Wembley. Calderwood went on to become head groundsman at Wolverhampton Wanderers before a move to Aston Villa. During 15 successful years at Villa Park he picked up multiple turf related awards including two Premier League Groundsman of the Year trophies. At Villa he met Gerard Houillier, one of the game's most respected managers. Meanwhile, across the English Channel a group of investors from Qatar made PSG one of Europe's richest football clubs. They wanted the very best of everything, including the blades of grass on the Parc des Princes pitch. On the advice of Houllier that meant a groundsman from Clough. He told PSG that Jonathan was the best groundsman in the world and Carlo Ancelotti, their manager at that time, agreed. Jonathan and his family moved to a new life in Paris and he made an immediate impact, becoming French Groundman of the Year in his first season. He added: "When you hear someone saying 'the guy just cuts grass' it's a little bit hurtful because I know what skills are involved, what dedication, what hours, what knowledge and experience goes into having a pitch like what we have at PSG. "Modern day football pitches are so complex and so complicated. I spent three years full-time at university and I would say 90% of my time was spent in the laboratory doing soil analysis, weeds, pesticides, disease management, wind, water, sunshine, fertiliser programmes and aeration - there is so much to it.' Jonathan's story doesn't end there, for his pitch will host Northern Ireland's game against Germany in Euro 2016. "If you're a groundsman like me, you want to work at the very top and it doesn't come much bigger than the European Championships," he said. "For me to move to Paris and for Northern Ireland to end up playing Germany in Paris on my pitch it doesn't get any better than that - it's like a dream come true." So Jonathan has already had recognition from some of the best players in the world - come 21 June he'll be hoping for a thumbs up from the likes of Steven Davis, Jonny Evans and manager Michael O'Neill. Who knows, that could be after a win over the world champions!

It was just minutes before kick-off, and that's when it happened.

The data, published in the Lancet, shows that only one in 200 women - or 0.5% - is still doing any degree of breastfeeding after a year. That compares with 23% in Germany, 56% in Brazil and 99% in Senegal. The researchers said it was a "widespread misconception" that breastfeeding was beneficial only in poor countries. In the UK, 81% of mothers had tried breastfeeding at some point, but only 34% were breastfeeding at six months and 0.5% at 12 months. In the US, 79% started, 49% were still going after six months and 27% after a year. It is the worst record in the world. Breastfeeding is far more common in developing countries, but the UK figures are behind even similar countries in Europe. Women in the UK are advised to feed their baby exclusively on breast milk for the first six months and then a combination of breast milk and other foods, however, it does not give a recommend end-point. Breastfeeding is good for the health of the baby and lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Prof Cesar Victora, report author from the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, said: "There is a widespread misconception that the benefits of breastfeeding only relate to poor countries. "Nothing could be further from the truth, our work clearly shows that breastfeeding saves lives and money in all countries, rich and poor alike." The Lancet report said breastfeeding in developed countries reduced the risk of sudden infant deaths by more than a third. And in poorer countries, half of cases of diarrhoea and a third of respiratory infections could be avoided by breastfeeding. Overall, the report's authors said that near-universal breastfeeding could save over 800,000 children's lives a year. A commentary, signed by Save the Children UK and the World Health Organization, was critical of formula milk being promoted at the expense of breastfeeding. It said: "The active and aggressive promotion of breast milk substitutes by their manufacturers and distributors continues to be a substantial global barrier to breastfeeding. "Promotion and marketing have turned infant formula, which should be seen as a specialised food that is vitally important for those babies who cannot be breastfed, into a normal food for any infant." Commenting on the findings, Sarah Redshaw, from the BabyCentre website, said: "It is crucial to bear in mind the various barriers and challenges faced by mums when it comes to breastfeeding. "Generally mums are aware that breastfeeding is best for their baby but often don't get the right support if they encounter problems in the early weeks - which many, many do. "As a result, significant numbers give up on breastfeeding." Follow James on Twitter.

Rates of breastfeeding in the UK are the lowest in the world, an international study shows.

The Executive Office said the move was made "to enable doctors to conduct a medical assessment". Mr McGuinness was due to join the first minister on the trade mission. A spokesperson said he was "fulfilling his responsibilities as deputy first minister working with his departmental political advisers". "There has been no disruption to the work of The Executive Office during this period," added the spokesperson. Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams said: "I'm sure everybody who values his work will send best wishes to Martin, Bernie and their family. "I met Martin as normal at Stormont on Monday. I have been in regular contact with him since and he is totally committed to fulfilling his duties."

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness pulled out of a trip to China this week due to medical advice, it has been revealed.

Scottish FA regulations prohibit players from betting on any football. Annan Athletic chairman Henry McClelland and Inverness player Lewis Horner were this week charged by the national body with gambling offences. "We have to have an adult conversation regarding a number of issues relating to gambling," Wishart said. "The effectiveness of the rule when people are still gambling, is it fit for purpose in the modern day, why are individuals still gambling, are there financial problems, mental health problems, addictions behind the scenes? "Since the rule was brought into place, there's been nobody charged with spot-fixing or match-fixing, which is very, very important, and therefore the game perhaps is suffering from poor headlines and I don't think the situation at the moment is helping the image of Scottish football." Wishart admits he is uncertain whether the existing regulations are adequate, and reiterates his belief that Scottish football's authorities must join forces to tackle the problem. "Sometimes I move from one side to the other," Wishart told BBC Scotland of his appraisal of the rules. "I can absolutely see why the rule is in place, because we want to stop and discourage people from spot or match-fixing. And that was the original purpose of the regulation. "But since then, [the Scottish FA] have brought in a specific regulation that addresses spot and match-fixing, and has much, much heavier sanctions. If we sit in Scottish football as stakeholders and don't do anything, don't address or discuss the issues then I don't think we're doing our jobs. "Because at the moment player after player, perhaps betting on games across Europe, now we've got a chairman and we may have others as well, traipsing up the steps at Hampden to massive negative headlines, and I don't think it's doing our game any good. I would just call for a proper and adult discussion on all these issues." PFA Scotland's chairman, former Dundee United midfielder John Rankin, told BBC Scotland in April that gambling is "rife" throughout Scottish football. Ex-Inverness player Barry Wilson believes there should be an amnesty for players regarding historical bets - a suggestion Wishart says should be considered. "Certainly, we should be looking at and considering an amnesty," Wishart added. "There are a number of people who have been charged for what are ostensibly historical issues going back a number of years when perhaps they weren't aware on the rules. "So I thought perhaps an amnesty would give us a start from zero, and then with a renewed education programme we cam move on from there. "We're trying to address the issue and the individual. We see the problems individuals have that perhaps people in the public don't see, where people have mental health problems, financial problems and addiction issues, which are huge things. "I think we have to get away from the headline-makers - are people breaching the regulations? Yes, they are. That's wrong and if people are breaching a rule, we have to look at the effectiveness of that rule, and the issues around that, and that's where we're trying to take the conversation."

PFA Scotland's chief executive Fraser Wishart argues the effectiveness of Scottish football's gambling rules should be examined.

The channel's signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to show new episodes of Family Guy from later this year. The agreement also includes other Seth MacFarlane animated comedies American Dad, The Cleveland Show and new series Bordertown. Family Guy has been a major part of the BBC Three schedule since 2006, becoming one of the channel's highest rating shows. But it's not the last we'll see of the Griffins on the BBC as the corporation has one more new series to show - the one currently being broadcast in the States. The BBC also still has rights to repeat episodes from previous series - for the moment. The BBC says Family Guy will be on the BBC for "at least the next two years". There's been discussion over what would happen to the offbeat comedy, given plans to move BBC Three online. More than 270,000 people have signed a petition against the move. The BBC said: "We are incredibly proud that the BBC has successfully aired Family Guy for the past nine years and built the series into such a hit in the UK. "However, when a show becomes so successful it often becomes a target for other broadcasters. "We are sorry that it will not have a long term home on the BBC."

Molinari stormed into contention with two eagles in the last seven holes to set a clubhouse target of nine under par, which Dunne was able to match thanks to a birdie on the last. The players then returned to the 18th hole for a sudden death play-off. A scrappy par proved to be enough for Molinari to secure the title. Dunne, who had enjoyed a two-shot lead going into the final round, found trouble off the tee and failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker. The 24-year-old's second place finish was his best ever on the European Tour however. "I felt like there were just so many shots that slipped away from me. It's just one of those days," said Dunne. "I felt like I was really close to shooting four or five under and stuck with one under in the end. I'm happy with my form and looking forward to next week. "I'm just a bit disappointed not to come out with the result we wanted but it's a step in the right direction." For the Italian, it was his first European Tour success since 2010.

Ireland's Paul Dunne lost to Italian Edoardo Molinari in a play-off at the Trophee Hassan II at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Morocco on Sunday.

After two rain-hit days, Derbyshire added 75 runs to be bowled out for 275, visiting skipper Joe Leach taking 4-50. Former captain Mitchell then made 120, followed by 150 from D'Oliveira to help Worcestershire close on 323-3. That is a lead of 48 - and quick runs on day four could set up a victory. Mitchell, who had starred on this ground on Tuesday night to help Worcestershire book a One-Day cup semi-final, passed the landmark of 10,000 first-class runs for the county when he had reached 87. Earlier, Derbyshire had held up Worcestershire for 20 overs in the morning session to earn a second batting point. That was largely due to a ninth-wicket stand of 45 between Tony Palladino (32) and Tom Taylor, who was caught behind to give Ed Barnard the first of two late victims and Ben Cox his 200th first-class catch. When Worcestershire batted, Mitchell was first to reach his ton, just before tea, while D'Oliveira's was his first since his career-best double century against Glamorgan last May when he began the season with three tons in four games. Derbyshire skipper Billy Godleman told BBC Radio Derby: "The wicket definitely played slightly differently when they batted. There was less in it for our bowlers. "We were disappointed with how we bowled with the new ball, although both openers played well. "I imagine they will come out and play a few shots and then we will have an opportunity and challenge against their bowlers in the second innings but we will fight as hard as we can." Worcestershire opener Brett D'Oliveira told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "I'm really pleased for Mitch. It's been quite tough for us early season against the new ball on tasty pitches and for him to pass 10,000 runs is a hell of an achievement. He played a fantastic knock and helped me a lot. "We are in a great position. We will try and kick on early and put them under pressure with the bat. "We bat all the way down, which is a real strength for us so, if we can push on in the morning, the quicker we can get them in again."

Worcestershire's Brett D'Oliveira made his first hundred in over a year as he shared a 243-run opening stand with fellow centurion Daryl Mitchell against Derbyshire on day three at Derby.

Police said that shortly after 05:00 BST on Sunday they received reports that six windows had been smashed at the property in the Meadow Park area. Entry had been gained with damage caused to the interior doors. At 07:00 BST, police received reports that the property had been set alight causing extensive damage downstairs and smoke damage to the rest of the house. In the intervening period between the two attacks the occupant of the property had left and no-one was injured. Police said they had attended the scene and helped to secure the premises following the first incident.

Extensive damage has been caused to a house in Newtownards, County Down, during an arson attack.

Cafodd y gwasanaethau brys eu galw yn oriau mân fore Mercher, ac mae dros 200 o ddiffoddwyr a 40 injan dân wedi bod yn ceisio diffodd y fflamau sydd wedi lledu i 24 llawr tŵr Grenfell yn yr ardal.

G4S provides healthcare for the UK's Yarl's Wood immigration detention centre, deemed a "place of national concern" after it was found to be failing vulnerable women. Emerging markets' revenue rose 5.7% to £1.18bn but UK revenue fell by 3.2%. G4S's operations span 110 countries and it employs 611,000 staff. Its operations include providing services for airports and restocking cash machines. It also has outsourcing contracts from companies and governments to place, for example, police and prison officers where there are shortages, and "supports justice and security strategies" for governments of countries in conflict, says G4S. Revenues were £3.2bn, up 2.8% compared with the same period last year. However, the company said that during the period, it took a charge of £16m for restructuring. New contract sales were £1.4bn. Chief executive Ashley Almanza said: "Demand for our services was robust, particularly in North America, Latin America and Asia Middle East. As anticipated, revenues were lower in UK & Ireland."

Security firm G4S has reported a £4m rise in profits to £185m for the first half of 2015 due to new contracts and growth in emerging markets.

David Montgomery, 39, was giving evidence for a third day in the trial of 48-year-old Ronnie Coulter. When Mr Findlay accused him of being "a persistent liar" over his differing versions of events, the witness called the QC a liar before being ordered to apologise by judge Lord Matthews. Mr Coulter denies murder and has blamed Mr Montgomery and another man. Mr Coulter, from Wishaw, is accused of murdering Mr Chhokar in Garrion Street, Overtown, North Lanarkshire, on 4 November 1998 by stabbing him. He has lodged a special defence blaming his nephew Andrew Coulter and Mr Montgomery. On Monday, as the trial entered its third week, Mr Montgomery was taken through his various versions of events. The jury at the High Court in Edinburgh had previously heard that Mr Coulter, his nephew and Mr Montgomery had approached Mr Chhokar on the night he died amid a row about a stolen £100 Giro cheque. Mr Montgomery said that Ronnie Coulter said: "Andrew - just hit him." The jurors heard that the first time Mr Montgomery mentioned this was in a statement given to police on 18 December 2014. He did not mention it in his first statement to police, given three days after Mr Chhokar's death. He also did not mention it at his own trial for the murder of Mr Chhokar in 2000 - a charge of which he was cleared. At his trial, he claimed that the only words spoken were by Andrew Coulter who asked Mr Chhokar who had cashed the Giro. During his cross-examination on Monday, Mr Findlay said to Mr Montgomery: "You are lying when you said Ronnie said 'Just hit him,'" and he replied: "I'm not lying." Mr Montgomery was taken through his versions of events which were given to the police and in court and Mr Findlay then said: "You are, if not an accomplished liar, a persistent liar." The witness responded by saying to Mr Findlay: "You are a liar." Mr Montgomery was then asked to repeat what he had said and trial judge Lord Matthews asked: "Why are you accusing counsel of lying." The witness then said: "Because he is making things up." Lord Matthews told Mr Montgomery: "Counsel is not making things up," and ordered him to apologise to Mr Findlay. The witness then said: "I'm sorry I'll apologise." In previous evidence to the trial, Mr Montgomery also told the jury that he saw Ronnie Coulter appear to punch Mr Chhokar. Mr Findlay said: "When you were asked about this you said: "I think it was one hand, I honestly don't know. You are trying to help Andrew Coulter by making out Ronnie was punching with one hand. You want people to think that was Ronnie stabbing him," and Mr Montgomery replied: "I'm trying to recall as best I can." Mr Montgomery was shown a transcript of his trial in which he said that he saw Ronnie Coulter punching with both hands. Mr Findlay then said: "People fighting use two hands and people stabbing use one hand," and Mr Montgomery replied: "Yes." The QC added: "In this trial you are trying to suggest it is more consistent with an attack than a fight," and Mr Montgomery said: "That's how I recall it." Mr Findlay added: "The background is the family decided Andrew had done it, but because he was only 17 Ronnie should take the blame for it," and Mr Montgomery replied: "I don't know where you've got that from." The QC said: "When the ladies and gentlemen of the jury have to assess your evidence they may want to bear in mind when you are facing incontrovertible evidence, you are quite happy to lie to the bitter end," and Mr Montgomery replied: "Yes." Mr Montgomery was asked why he made up a story just three days after Mr Chhokar's death, telling police he had been in Overtown that night to buy counterfeit cigarettes from a man called Kevin, instead of admitting he had been there when he died. He said he was scared and added: "I just remember fear." The witness later denied that he saw Andrew Coulter murdering Mr Chhokar. Mr Findlay said to Mr Montgomery: "You and Andrew Coulter were the last two people to be near to Chhokar before he died," and he replied: "Yes, me and Andrew." Mr Montgomery was then told by defence QC Donald Findlay: "What happened that night after Ronnie had gone was that Andrew lost it and pulled out a knife and stabbed Chhokar and murdered him," and the witness replied: "No." Mr Findlay added: "You could come to only one conclusion that Andrew Coulter had murdered Coulter," and Mr Montgomery replied: "No that was the wrong conclusion. He never killed him." The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.

A witness in the Surjit Singh Chhokar murder trial has apologised for calling defence QC Donald Findlay a "liar".

Having arrived at Adams Park with Super League honours and international recognition behind him, injury and personal issues brought a premature end to Smith's big move to the Premiership. However, after returning to Leeds and then Wakefield in Super League, he accepted a second crack at union with Newcastle Falcons earlier this season. Why would a player with a vast collection of honours in league go through the rigours of switching codes for a second time when so many others have struggled to adapt? Smith is clear. Sam Burgess's move to Bath from Australian NRL side South Sydney in 2015 is much anticipated, with his ball-carrying, defensive work and offloading skills all appealing to the 15-man game. There remains some doubt about where Burgess will be employed, as he can play anywhere across the back-row in league, but like Andy Farrell - another code-switcher - he could find himself in the centres. However, Smith is concerned that trying to mould Burgess could take away some of his natural talent. "I went on a show with Brian Moore when I made my debut against Leicester and I said anyone can be a success (in union) if they get the right coaching, and play to their strengths," Smith said. "Don't try to change a player into something they're not. They need to use a player's strengths and work with it." "If I got into my 40s and 50s looking back on my career without having a proper go at it I'd have been disappointed with myself," he told BBC Sport. "Obviously I had a go with Wasps and it didn't work out, but I'm very fortunate that Newcastle came in and wanted to sign me." Rugby league has been a useful talent pool for union clubs since the advent of professionalism in the late 1990s reversed a trend of players moving the other way for financial and sporting rewards. Whereas once it was union stars such as Jonathan Davies, Scott Quinnell, Kel Coslett, Billy Boston and Tom van Vollenhoven who moved into the 13-man game, now it is Sam Burgess, Kyle Eastmond and Joel Tomkins who have brought their skills into union. Not everyone can make the same impact in both codes, as countless stars including Henry Paul, Lesley Vainikolo and Shontayne Hape can testify. "I had a great time in rugby league, but there's only a certain type of player that can move codes," said Smith. "They're two totally different games. All the rucking and mauling compared to the play-the-ball is completely different. "Moves are similar, but it's different game plans. The fitness has to be different. You need to be intense for one or two minutes in union and then you get a break, while league is a bit more continuous. That's something else I'm going to have to work on during the off season." While Smith's rugby league career brought him Super League Grand Final winners' medals, and a Harry Sunderland Trophy for man of the match in the 2008 final, the move to Newcastle has seen him experience the opposite end of the scale. Falcons feared potential relegation from the top flight until the penultimate game of the current campaign and have a big summer ahead to ensure improvement is made next season. "I think the culture has to be player-driven, the coaches can only give you so much," Smith said. "I've been about a long time and seen a lot of things," Smith said. "But I still class myself as young, and the more you hang about with the younger lads it keeps you young. "Keith Senior used to be like that, he'd hang around with all the young lads and still thought he was 19 like us lot. "It keeps you young but I've got experience. I've got little things I learned in rugby league that I can bring through to Newcastle and I'm trying to do that in little ways. "During the off-season I will probably have more to time to spend with the coaches and bring my knowledge of that game to mix in with the rugby union stuff." "Going back, Leeds had lots of very good professionals. I got brought up by people like Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock, Danny McGuire and Rob Burrow - they were very good pros and it filtered down into the academy. "That's how you were brought up, if you stepped out of line then you got knocked back into line. That's somewhere where maybe at the Falcons we can tighten up a bit in the off-season. "We need to set our standards ourselves, so when we get beat we can ask ourselves questions why and take a bit of responsibility off the coaches." With nearly 200 games for club and country across the two codes on his curriculum vitae, Smith has grown from young gun to seasoned pro. The aim now for the Morley-born three-quarter is to establish a regular place at Kingston Park, once the Falcons have completed their 2013-14 campaign with the visit of Exeter. "It's a bit frustrating going in and out, but you've got to look at the bigger picture," Smith continued. "I'm getting my first summer holiday for something like 13, 14 years which will be brilliant. I'll go away and spend some time with the family and then we're back in mid-June. "I've got two and a half months then before the Premiership season starts, where that is my real learning curve. "That's when, in September, I want to be hitting the ground running, starting in the team and nailing down a position where I'm going to play and playing week in, week out."

It would have been easy for Lee Smith to turn his back on rugby union after a stint with Wasps in 2009 ended after only five months.

The Public Administration Committee said it would seek written evidence and publish an interim report before the summer recess later this month. Eurosceptic Tories fear the rules are being amended to allow the government to campaign openly to stay in the EU. But ministers say it is needed to allow them to continue their work. The committee, headed by Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, said the purdah probe would form the first part of a wide-ranging inquiry into the EU Referendum Bill, the proposed law that will authorise a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU by the end of 2017. Mr Jenkin said he and his colleagues wanted to know why the government was planning to partially "disapply" the existing rules on government announcements in the four weeks leading up to the referendum. The inquiry will focus on the existing rules, as set out in the 2000 Political Parties and Referendum Act, the government's case for amending them, how ministers plan to go about it and the impact it will have on the impartiality of the civil service. In a vote on the issue last month, 27 Conservative MPs rebelled against their party, urging ministers to reinstate the full purdah period although the government won the vote after Labour abstained. The government has said the existing rules would potentially prevent ministers from attending EU meetings and making decisions with a European dimension. They have insisted they will address MPs' concerns about this and other matters - such as the funding available to different sides and the length of the campaign itself - as the bill makes its way through the Commons. The committee will publish its report on 22 July.

Plans to relax so-called "purdah rules" on government announcements in the run-up to the EU referendum are to be the subject of a quickfire inquiry by MPs.

The "bemusement park" at a derelict seaside lido in Weston-super-Mare attracted thousands of visitors when it opened last summer. Other awards nominees include electronica band Years and Years and the BBC Two adaptation of Wolf Hall. The winners will be announced at a ceremony, hosted by Lord Melvyn Bragg, at London's Savoy Hotel on 5 June. Now celebrating their 20th anniversary, the awards honour "the very best of British culture and achievement". Banksy competes in the visual art category against Cornelia Parker for Magna Carta (An Embroidery) at The British Library and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: Verses After Dusk at the Serpentine Gallery. Historical drama Wolf Hall is joined in the TV drama category alongside Channel 4's Humans and Doctor Foster (BBC One). In the pop category, Benjamin Clementine, Years and Years, and Sleaford Mods go head to head. The film category features Ex Machina, 45 Years and Brooklyn, while the theatre contenders are Oresteia, People, Places and Things and Hangmen. Lord Bragg said the South Bank Sky Arts Awards were a "freeze-frame on a unique moment in British cultural history". He added: "This is the 20th of these annual awards and a ripple through the records shows an extraordinary tapestry of talent, ever-changing but always the same in its high quality." 2016 FULL LIST OF NOMINEES

Elusive artist Banksy has landed a South Bank Sky Arts Award nomination for his Dismaland theme park.

The Grade II-listed Drummond Mill on Lumb Lane in Manningham was ravaged by a fire which started in the basement on Thursday. The building has now been partially demolished to prevent further collapse. Historic England said West Yorkshire's mills are "important landmarks which need to be cherished". The organisation, which preserves and lists historic buildings, is currently part-way through a review into West Yorkshire's mills to establish best practice for future redevelopments. Spokesperson Deborah Wall said: "The community is deeply affected and emotional about the loss of this historic building. "It just shows how important these landmarks are to people and why the work to find ways to capture the stories of these places and to cherish them is so important." Last month, property consultants Cushman and Wakefield began work with architects and Historic England to examine ways in which West Yorkshire's vacant textile mills could be brought back into use. Trevor Mitchell, Historic England's planning director for Yorkshire, said: "West Yorkshire's textile mills are iconic buildings that people care deeply about. "Some have been brilliantly and creatively converted into places to work, live or socialise. "We are working to understand how these successful conversions have been achieved and try to find solutions for those mills that need a new purpose to become great landmarks in our region again." Successful redevelopments include Tower Works and Marshalls in Leeds, Sunny Bank Mills in Pudsey, Lister Mills in Bradford, Salts Mill in Saltaire, Red Brick Mill in Batley, and Dean Clough in Halifax. Yorkshire has 172 listed textile mills. Ms Wall said the future of Drummond Mill was "totally uncertain" until Bradford Council and the fire service had determined the full extent of the damage.

A fire which destroyed a Bradford mill has "underlined the urgency" of working to preserve West Yorkshire's mills, Historic England has said.

Students said the error meant there were two possible correct answers to the multiple choice questions. Officials have said they will accept two answers as correct in each case, and the head of the national exam board has offered to resign. The annual test determines the academic futures of high school students. South Korean media said the mistake would affect the test scores of about 3,600-4,000 students. "I express deep regret and recognise an urgent need to improve the question-making process," Education Minister Hwang Woo-Yea said in a statement broadcast on television. "We will investigate the root cause of the problem," Mr Hwang said. About 640,000 students sat the nine-hour standardised test, called the College Scholastic Ability Test, on 13 November at 1,216 testing sites across the country, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said. Many students engage in intense studying for years in preparation for the exam, often with the involvement of their parents in what is an extremely competitive academic environment. A good score would mean a spot in one of South Korea's top universities. The suspect multiple-choice questions, one in the biology exam and one in the English language paper, sparked an uproar with parents and students complaining to the website of the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) which administers the exam. Last year's exam was also controversial because of a mistake in one of the questions in the world geology section. After a year-long legal battle, Seoul High Court ruled in favour of four students who said the question was flawed. "We did our best this year to prevent erroneous questions... but again there were faulty questions, causing chaos and inconvenience among exam takers, their parents and teachers," said Kim Sung-Hoon, head of KICE.

South Korea's education minister has apologised after two faulty questions in the national college entrance exam left thousands of students confused.

Speaking after briefing the Security Council on the peace process, Staffan de Mistura said a partial truce agreed in February was "barely alive". Violence in Syria has intensified in recent days, despite the ceasefire. At least 20 civilians were reportedly killed on Wednesday in government strikes on a hospital and nearby residential building in eastern Aleppo. The dead included children, a dentist and the only paediatrician left in rebel-held areas of the city, civil defence volunteers told AFP news agency. The upsurge in fighting in Syria's largest city comes amid reports that government forces, backed by Russian air power, are gearing up for a major offensive there. Russia's continuing war Has opportunity for peace been lost? What is left of Syria? Assad's growing confidence The escalation has threatened to derail the UN-brokered peace talks, which resumed last month. The Western-backed opposition delegation, the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), last week suspended its role to protest against alleged ceasefire violations by the government and a fall in humanitarian aid deliveries to besieged areas. Speaking on Wednesday after a third round of talks in Geneva, Mr de Mistura said the fragile "cessation of hostilities" "could collapse any time". He said that over the past 48 hours an average of one Syrian had been killed every 25 minutes and one wounded every 13 minutes. For the peace talks to succeed, Mr de Mistura said, hostilities would need to be reduced to the levels seen immediately following the February agreement. Calling on the US and Russia to co-operate, Mr de Mistura said that the legacies of both President Barack Obama and President Vladimir Putin were linked to the success of the peace process in Syria. There will be one or two more rounds of talks before July, Mr de Mistura said. He added: "There are still major differences on the major issues, but there is movement on certain areas where there was not before." Mr de Mistura also said that equal rights and equal representation in major institutions for women was essential to the transition to a new Syria. The peace talks do not involve the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra front and the so-called Islamic State, which have been fighting government forces and other rebels across Syria. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group confirmed on Wednesday that the air strikes on a hospital and nearby buildings in Aleppo were carried out by "regime airplanes". Separately, 11 people were killed in western Aleppo earlier on Wednesday, the Syrian Observatory said. More than 270,000 people have been killed since Syria's bitter civil war conflict erupted in 2011 and millions have been forced to flee.

The UN envoy to Syria has urged the US and Russia to intervene "at the highest level" to save struggling peace talks.

It effectively completes the four-year-old software's transformation from a "lightweight" chat app, spun off from the main Facebook site, into a fully-fledged "platform" of its own. More than 40 new add-on apps have already been developed so far. But one expert said there was a risk Messenger would become bloated. Messenger has already proved controversial with some users of the social network, who have complained about having to switch between two apps to stay in touch with their Facebook friends. Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the move at his firm's F8 developers conference in San Francisco. He said more than 600 million people already used Messenger at least once a month to express themselves, and that allowing other social networks and services to directly post to it would make "conversations better". Among the new apps unveiled are ways to post: It builds on a move to allow US-based users to send money to and from each other via Messenger, which Facebook announced last week, and the earlier inclusion of Voip (voice over internet protocol) calls and stickers. Mr Zuckerberg also revealed plans to launch an associated service called Businesses on Messenger. Using the app instead of email, the public will be able to hold conversations with companies from which they buy goods, or have other interactions with. Facebook suggested this could include receiving delivery status updates, organising the return of an order and asking follow-up questions. The company is far from the first to attempt to turn a messaging app into a wider platform. China's WeChat service has gone even further by allowing its users to book taxis, pick cinema seats and find nearby restaurants among other actions. But one expert suggested Facebook should be cautious about the rate at which it adds further facilities to Messenger. "There's a potential risk that they are going to overload Messenger with too many functions and none of them become that important - it really depends on how extensive they get with the features that they add over time," said Brian Blau from the Gartner tech consultancy. "We have seen something like that happen with Facebook's Timeline, where you have all these different people competing for your attention. "So, Facebook won't want to over-bloat, but it could enable all kinds of interesting scenarios where you can integrate messaging with other apps and services." Right now many of the Messenger apps look fun, if a bit gimmicky. But over time these new interactions will give Facebook another source of rich information about a user's interests - and thereby the potential to attract more ad revenue. Facebook would have taken inspiration from companies like China's WeChat and Japan's Line, which have proven successful in building both content and business services atop their core messenger offerings. But Messenger for Business is an ambitious plan. It is asking users to supplant more tried-and-tested means like email. Other communications behemoths like Skype tried - unsuccessfully - to become places to reinvent communications between businesses and their customers. Will users be happy to shift their business interactions over to Facebook - a platform where, until now, they have been used to dealing primarily with friends? Other announcements made at F8 included:

Facebook has confirmed that it is opening up its Messenger service to third-party developers, allowing them to add functions of their own.

Lee Gregory could have put the Lions ahead, but shot over from close range. Visting goalkeeper Jordan Archer made a fine save to deny Elliot Lee before Gregory and Chris Taylor both missed chances at the other end. Taylor almost sealed three points for Millwall late on but his defected effort hit the post, meaning the Londoners drop to sixth in the table. They are four points ahead of Barnsley, who have a game in hand, while Colchester remain in 23rd place, still seven points adrift of safety. Millwall boss Neil Harris told BBC Radio London: Media playback is not supported on this device "I don't think we were really quite as clinical as we have been. "I thought we were very lacklustre in the first half and never really imposed our tempo on the game. "I think we can focus on the fact that it's a really good clean sheet, it's another point gained. "Having said that, I'm obviously disappointed. I thought we should have come here and won today."

League One strugglers Colchester United had to settle for a point against play-off chasing Millwall.

Onlookers said the men were prisoners but this has yet to be confirmed. Fire engines are at the scene but Mid and West Wales Fire Service would not give any details of an incident. South Wales Police said it is not involved. Bob Griffiths, from Bridgend, who saw the men on the roof, said: "They are shouting at each other and the other prisoners are shouting from the cells." He said there were initially three men on the roof but one had come down.

Two men have been spotted on the roof of Swansea Prison.

The six-month project at Havelock Europa is expected to "follow the wealth", where market opportunities arise in the UK and globally. The Kirkcaldy-based firm also wants to extend its sourcing operation in China and grow further in Australia. The company has already focused its marketing efforts in London. Office refurbishments in the capital are among Britain's more lucrative opportunities. The firm has been through a difficult corporate turnaround in recent years. In announcing its full-year results, the Fife firm said 2016 was "challenging". Havelock Europa was back into the black, with pre-tax profits of £183,000, following a 2015 loss of £2.7m. Revenue was down in 2016, largely due to the loss of a major financial client, believed to be Lloyds Banking Group. Sales fell from £73m in 2015 to £61m. In trying to diversify its clients away from a few large banks and education refurbishments during academic holidays, the company is seeking to secure more clients from the health sector and student accommodation. It is also looking for a wider range of retail clients, which have so far included big high street names such as Marks & Spencer, Primark, Accessorize and House of Fraser. Havelock Europa employs 300 people at its Fife factory and marketing base, with offices also in China and Mansfield in the English Midlands. The company's shares fell 12% in the hours after the annual results were published.

A major Scottish interior fitter has announced "a major review of its longer-term vision, mission and strategy".

Jack Beales, 93, of Rhyl, carried out the attacks while she was a young girl, mainly when he was in his 70s. He denied five charges of rape and six other sexual offences but was unanimously convicted by the jury at Mold Crown Court on 9 December. Sentencing him on Wednesday, Judge Rhys Rowlands said Beales had destroyed his victim's childhood. His victim, now aged in her 30s, took to the witness stand to read her victim impact statement. The court heard the abuse began when she was aged six and continued for about 10 years. She said she had wanted to commit suicide and hoped, when she confronted Beales last summer, it would bring some kind of closure. But she said it had not and she was still on strong medication for depression and anxiety, and was awaiting counselling. The court had heard she confronted Beales at his home and he admitted in front of her mother and his wife he had groped her as a child. He later said "that was what men did". The woman said every time she came into contact with Beales he made hurtful comments. She said: "Once again I felt suicidal and felt I could not continue suffering while he was living a happy and carefree life, with no apparent suffering." The woman said one of her biggest wishes in life was to start a family. But she added: "I worry that there may be internal physical damage due to the abuse which may mean I am unable to conceive or carry a child to full term." She said she felt she could not trust anyone and saw the world "as a very dangerous place". "I am hyper vigilant when kids are left unattended or unsupervised around men," she told the court. "I feel unable to relax, and as though I have a responsibility to be watchful over others." Defending barrister Andrew Green said Beales had no previous convictions and accepted some acts had taken place but he denied other allegations including all the rapes. Jailing him, Judge Rowlands said Beales did not have "an ounce of remorse" and was "devoid of any moral compass at all". He will have to serve a further 12 months on licence. Det Insp William Jones, of North Wales Police, said: "John (Jack) Beales was a manipulative and depraved sexual predator who committed multiple offences over a sustained period of time. He is now thankfully behind bars. "No child should ever have to experience what the victim went through." An NSPCC Wales spokesman said the victim "must be commended for showing incredible bravery in reporting what happened to her so Beales could eventually face justice for his crimes".

The victim of a pensioner jailed for 13 years for horrific sex attacks has told of the abuse that ruined her life.

People with a DNA variation in a gene called PDSS2 tend to drink fewer cups of coffee, a study carried out at the University of Edinburgh has found. It suggests the gene reduces cell ability to break down caffeine. This causes it to stay in the body for longer and means those with the gene get the same caffeine hit through less coffee. One scientist working on the project said it suggests the "drive to drink coffee may be embedded in our genes". The researchers studied the DNA of 370 people living in a small village in southern Italy and 843 people from six villages in north-east Italy. The subjects were asked to complete a survey including a question about how many cups of coffee they drank each day. The team found people with the PDSS2 DNA variation tended to consume fewer cups of coffee than people without the variation - equivalent to one fewer cup daily on average. Researchers replicated the study in a group of 1,731 people from the Netherlands. The result was similar but the effect of the gene on the number of cups of coffee consumed was slightly lower. The scientists said the change could be down to the different styles of coffee drunk in the two countries. In Italy, people tend to drink smaller cups such as espresso whereas in the Netherlands the preference is towards larger cups which contain more caffeine overall. Dr Nicola Pirastu, a Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, said: "The results of our study add to existing research suggesting that our drive to drink coffee may be embedded in our genes. "We need to do larger studies to confirm the discovery and also to clarify the biological link between PDSS2 and coffee consumption." The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports and was conducted at the universities of Edinburgh and Trieste, the Burlo Garofolo Pediatric Institute in Italy, the Erasmus Medical Centre and PolyOmica, a data analysis company based in Groningen, the Netherlands.

Researchers have identified a gene that appears to curb coffee consumption.

The company's flotation on the Nasdaq stock exchange had initially raised a less-than-expected $286m (£170m). However, investors flocked to the shares, and they ended the day at $20.24, after opening at $17. The number of Weibo users fell after China's censors strengthened control of online discussions last year. The China Internet Network Information Center said in its annual report that almost 28 million people abandoned Weibo in 2013. The sale is a big test of demand for Chinese internet stocks ahead of an anticipated listing by Weibo's co-owner, the Alibaba group. China's internet market has grown to become the world's biggest with more than 500 million users. With major global social networking firms such as Facebook and Twitter blocked in the country, domestic companies have benefited the most from this growth. However, the growing popularity of social media platforms has also attracted the attention of authorities who have moved swiftly to silence voices online.

Shares in China's Weibo, a Twitter-like service, rose by almost 20% on their first day of trading on the US stock market, after a lukewarm start.

Steven McIvor, 32, was one of two thieves who targeted the Letterbox Bistro in Balerno Main Street and stole £2,000 and 5,300 Euros on 26 February 2016. McIvor, from Edinburgh, was found guilty after trial. His co-accused Eddie Moffat, 27, was acquitted of the robbery charge on a not proven verdict. The owner of the post office/bistro business Steven Carlyle, 55, said he was talking to his son when he became aware of two men entering the premises. He told the court: "Then the language got worse and they demanded money. They were demanding all the money from the till and the Euros." "The thieves had scarves over their mouths and each was armed with a knife. Mr Carlyle said he pressed an alarm that was supposedly inaudible but turned out to be audible. He said: "That's when they started getting very agitated." One of the intruders became very aggressive and a knife was thrust through a gap in a Perspex screen. Mr Carlyle said: "They were swearing all the time, telling us to 'hurry up, get the money, get the cash'." At the High Court in Glasgow Lord Kinclaven jailed McIvor and told him: "You assaulted Mr Carlyle, who was behind the counter. There was no physical injury, but it must have been a frightening and traumatic incident for those in the post office at the time." The court was told McIvor, who has 17 pages of previous conviction, had a drug problem. None of his previous convictions were for violence. Det Insp Graham Grant, of Police Scotland, said: "Steven McIvor showed no regard for the welfare of the member of staff during this robbery. "Thankfully a swift policing response involving uniformed officers, CID, road policing and specialist Police Scotland resources ensured that he was traced and detained quickly. "Crimes of this nature will not be tolerated when they occur and we will use all resources at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice."

A man who raided a post office on the outskirts of Edinburgh has been jailed for seven years.

Ryan Watson was taken to Wishaw General following an incident in Wilson Street on 11 August but later died. Police have appealed to people in the local community for information. Det Insp Mark Bell from Police Scotland said: "From the enquiries my team have conducted so far, I am confident that the answer to Ryan's death lies within the local community of Larkhall." He added: "A young man's life has been taken away needlessly and the family of Ryan deserve to know the truth about what happened to him. "Ryan had a partner and a young son who will have to continue their lives without him. His mum and dad have lost a son, his brothers and sister have lost a much loved brother. "I'm making a direct appeal to those within the community, to search their conscience, and contact us with any information they may have because I know somebody knows who did this."

A murder inquiry has started following the death of a 24-year-old father in South Lanarkshire.

The 27-year-old dominated from the start, flooring his opponent in the 10th round and winning 120-108, 119-108 and 117-110 on the judges' scorecards. The belt could only be won by Yafai after the Panamanian was stripped of it when he failed to make the weight. Unbeaten in 21 professional fights, Yafai previously held the Commonwealth and British super-flyweight belts. The Birmingham fighter also won a silver medal at the 2010 European Championships during his amateur career. "It's unbelievable, it's going to take a while to sink in," he said. "I knew I was going to do it, it was just a matter of how. I just did what I needed to do. "I can't wait to headline in Birmingham as a world champion. My hands are a bit sore so I might be out for a little bit, but the second I can get in the gym I will be back working and getting ready to defend this belt." The fight was part of a packed undercard as Britain's Anthony Joshua retained his IBF world heavyweight championship by knocking out American Eric Molina. Bury's Scott Quigg won his first fight since losing to Carl Frampton in February, and his first as a featherweight, outpointing Mexico's Jose Cayetano. Former super-bantamweight world champion Quigg, 28, had his jaw broken by Frampton but showed no signs of frailty on his return to the ring. Cayetano, himself fighting at 126lb for the first time, was unmoved by most of his opponent's punches until the end of the eighth round, when he began to wilt. And Quigg finished his rival off with a flashing left-right combination at close quarters, the referee calling a halt to proceedings with Cayetano on the deck. Quigg has plenty of options at featherweight. Frampton moved up and claimed the WBA featherweight title in July, Welshman Lee Selby is the IBF title-holder and Leeds' Josh Warrington is also in the hunt for a world title. Liverpool's Callum Smith stayed on course for a world title shot with a brutal 10th-round knockout of game Lancastrian Luke Blackledge. Referee Steve Gray could have stopped the fight earlier but allowed the one-sided battering to continue until Blackledge was knocked unconscious. There were an anxious few minutes as a prone Blackledge was administered oxygen before he gingerly, and mercifully, made it back to his feet. Smith, 26, successfully defended his British title for the first time and remained unbeaten in 22 pro fights, with 17 knockouts. He is ranked number one by the WBC but Sweden's Badou Jack is defending that belt against Britain's IBF champion James DeGale in January. In a thrilling light-heavyweight contest, Frank Buglioni stopped Hosea Burton in the 12th and final round to secure the British title. Manchester's Burton, 28, built an early lead behind his jab and some ramrod right hands, and the challenger's face was a bloody mess by the middle rounds. However, the Londoner's punches started to have an effect down the stretch and Burton went down under a barrage in the 11th. Midway through the 12th, Burton was stunned by a right to the temple before going down again. He clambered to his feet but the referee called things off after another assault by Buglioni, with a minute and four seconds remaining. Buglioni, 27, improves to 19 wins (15 KOs) and two defeats from 22 pro fights and could be rewarded with a second shot at a world title. Welterweight Conor Benn, son of British legend Nigel, made it six wins out of six with a first-round knockout of Manchester's Steven Backhouse.

Edmund backed up two wins in qualifying with a 6-3 6-2 victory over world number 73 Garcia-Lopez in Beijing. The 21-year-old from Yorkshire, ranked 54th, goes on to face another Spaniard, Roberto Bautista Agut, who beat John Millman 6-4 3-6 6-3. Fellow Britons Andy Murray and Johanna Konta are in action on Tuesday. Second seed Murray will play Italian Andreas Seppi in his opening match, while Konta takes on Hungary's Timea Babos as the British number one looks to maintain her hopes of a place at the season-ending WTA Finals. American Madison keys, currently three places ahead of Konta in the eighth and final qualifying position, beat Kristina Mladenovic of France 7-5 6-4 on Monday. There was an upset as China's unseeded Shuai Peng beat American sixth seed Venus Williams 7-5 6-1.

Britain's Kyle Edmund is through to the second round of the China Open following a straight-sets win over Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

The initial plan was to pass ownership to supporters' group Well Society in five years, but instead it has taken 14 months for the handover to be agreed. This was always going to be the final outcome, since Hutchison was never interested in owning or running the club long-term. For him, a Lanarkshire boy whose business career took him abroad and eventually into a life of significant wealth, the point was to contribute to his local community. Challenges remain, though, even if Hutchison believes much of the hard work has been carried out. The significant progress is that costs have been cut, that investments have been made on infrastructure projects at Fir Park and on improving the chances of the football side of the business contributing to self-sustainability. Hutchison is satisfied that in agreeing to sell his 76% shareholding for £1 to the Well Society, he has paved the way for stability and fan ownership. If there is a message from Hutchison, it is that fans and local businesses need to step up to support the club financially, so that it never needs to be reliant on wealthy individuals or investors. "I can't speak to the future of any business, whether it's secure or otherwise, but if they have enough customers and they follow the strategy which has been implemented, we've significantly improved the probability of success," Hutchison told BBC Scotland from his home in Barbados. "[The club] is extremely close [to break even]. In recent months, the player budget has been reduced dramatically, we've been able to sign some really excellent younger players on longer-term contracts, which reduces costs because you don't have to buy a much more experienced player, we've significantly reduced the medical bills by the introduction of the sports scientist. "We could do with a little bit of a boost on the commercial side, but we have that pipeline of young talent coming through which would give the opportunity for additional transfer income. "What [supporters] need to do is decide whether or not they want to try to make it work and whether they want to step up. "The second, and probably more important one, is that I'd like to see more local companies participate more effectively with the club and the community." Hutchison had to address costs at Fir Park since the club was running at a loss. Before John Boyle's controlling interest was transferred in January 2015, Hutchison had to provide £30,000 to pay bills. He has since invested £650,000 and £380,000 in loans, with at least £180,000 having been paid back, and the remaining repayment terms altered. Motherwell previously used to budget to finish in the top half of the Premiership, which meant that any drop in form had a significant impact on working capital. That has changed, while 10 players left the club in January, although one of them - James McFadden - subsequently signed a new short-term deal until the end of the season. Under Mark McGhee's management, the focus is to be on developing young players, and Hutchison is particularly proud that under his tenure, Motherwell have reached the youth cup final for the first time in 30 years. The challenge, though, is financial as well as sporting. The income streams of football clubs rise and fall over the course of a season, but there is now no wealthy individual on hand to cover any shortfalls that might arise. The Well Society's membership has plateaued, with some letting their subscriptions slide. The Society needs all of its members to be contributing and for more to join if money is to be raised to support the fan-ownership model. "People got into a bit of a comfort zone that maybe they don't have to participate, 'it's okay, Les is here, don't worry about it'," Hutchison said. "From the very outset, I wasn't in the business of wanting to own or run a football club in Scotland, I am a philanthropist and I was trying to help the community. "The Society have had up to 1700 people who have at some point in time contributed. All it takes is for people who have done it in the past to do it again and a few more, with also the support of local business who really want to support their local communities and customers, they need to step up a bit more as well. "If that happens, then the thing will be in good hands. "What [the club] has to do is manage the cash flow. That's the challenge. The cash comes in in peaks and troughs because of the way the league does their financing and the way that sponsors pay their money, and TV and so on. "If they could build up some reasonable reserves, they can then manage through the peaks and troughs. "We've been budgeting quite prudently. We've had to take actions to make sure those budgets can be achieved. It all bodes well at this point." Hutchison has stabilised Motherwell - at a personal cost of £1m - and has now left the supporters with the opportunity, and the challenge, of taking over. For that to happen, the Well Society will need to succeed in a way that it hasn't been able to achieve in the past.

Les Hutchison's involvement at Motherwell has ended before he expected it to.

About 250,000 people have used the free service so far, said its creator, Joshua Browder. The Do Not Pay bot currently works in the UK and New York in the US. It asks a series of questions to determine the validity of a penalty notice. It can also be used to work out compensation for delayed flights. Mr Browder told the BBC he hoped it proved bots could be useful. "Bots are a huge opportunity for public service," he said. "I'm very surprised it has been so successful, but I am not surprised that so many people have pushed back against their parking tickets." Of the 160,000 successful challenges, 9,000 were from New York, where the bot launched in March 2016, reports Venture Beat. Mr Browder was inspired to build the bot, which he describes as "the world's first robot lawyer", after receiving "countless" parking tickets himself. It took him three months to program. The Stanford University student is currently building a new bot aimed at helping Syrian refugees by producing English documents based on Arabic text. However, Abhi Chirimar, the chief executive of online mental health community Instawell, said that in his experience there was no chatbot "silver bullet" for companies offering digital services across more than one platform. "Service developers need to be mindful of the pros and cons when designing chatbots," he said. "Chatbots need tactical conversation design to ensure that the average person feels comfortable throughout the process. "We realised early on that there isn't an easy 'silver-bullet' for our chatbot. "Now, a Facebook user and a Slack user are served up different chatbots for the same goal - get the right kind of help."

A chatbot programmed by a British teenager has successfully challenged 160,000 parking tickets since its launch last year.

Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland scored twice in three minutes in the final quarter to win 2-1 in Glasgow. James Carson gave Wales the lead from a penalty corner, but Ben Cosgrove and Alan Forsyth won it for the hosts. Earlier the Wales women's team lost 3-0 to Italy to finish fourth at their EuroHockey Championships in Cardiff. Chiara Tiddi, Celina Traverso and Federica Carta scored the Italian goals. "We came out fighting for the bronze today but just couldn't hit the line," midfielder Sian French told BBC Wales Sport. "We'll keep on pushing as a team for the next two years and we'll come back even stronger next time." Because two teams get promoted from the B Division, Wales's men will compete in Europe's top tier at the next EuroHockey Championships in 2019. On Friday, Wales women's hopes of rising into Europe's top tier were shattered in a 2-1 defeat by Russia. Wales' men secured promotion to their top tier by beating France 4-3 in their semi-final in Glasgow. Wales women had beaten Austria and Poland, but lost to Belarus on the way to the semi-finals. Neither Wales side has been in the EuroHockey A Division since it was reduced to eight teams more than a decade ago. The nation's women were playing in the third tier just four years ago.

Wales men's hockey team suffered an agonising late defeat by Scotland in their EuroHockey Championships II final.

Inger Shah, a 38-year-old single parent, stood at the front of the terrace and was one of 96 fans fatally injured at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final. While her son, Daniel, also attended the match, he stood with friends at the back of the Leppings Lane terrace. Both Daniel and his sister Becky, 17, were taken into care after the tragedy. The new inquests focused on the final moments of Mrs Shah and her friend Marian McCabe, 21, who also died in the crush. Both were members of the London branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club. They travelled to Sheffield together on 15 April 1989 to watch their team play against Nottingham Forest. Christina Lambert QC, who represents the coroner, said: "Following the crush, Daniel tried to find his mother. He was taken to a police station and was later taken to the gymnasium with [two of his friends] Philip Goodman and Stephen Oates. "Daniel then picked his mother out from a Polaroid photograph and Stephen went to formally identify Daniel's mum." Naomi Ditchfield, who was with Ms McCabe in the same pen at the 1988 semi-final - which featured the same teams playing at the same stadium - said in a statement: "The pen was so full that at one point during the game the gate burst open with the pressure of the crowd and Marian fell forwards through the gate and out on to the pitch." She said Ms McCabe was then quickly ushered back into the pen by a police officer standing on the track perimeter and the gate closed. A year later, she told her friend she wanted to move from the same area. "I said to Marian: 'I'm not standing here, do you remember what happened last year?' "I said to her, 'I'm moving up here, are you coming with us?' Both Inger and Marian wanted to stay where they were." By 14:50 BST in her new location, it was "uncomfortably full" in the pen. Her statement said: "I saw a policeman stood in front of the pen and people were shouting to him that it was getting packed in there. We were asking him for help and he ignored us." Another fan and a police officer described how Martin Malone, who was standing behind Ms McCabe, appeared to be trying to protect her from the crush by bracing his arms against the fence either side of her and pushing backwards. He eventually passed out. Witnesses say both women were "lifeless" before police stopped the match at 15:06. The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, have been adjourned and will resume on Tuesday when evidence about Ms McCabe and Mrs Shah will conclude. BBC News: Profiles of all those who died

A 13-year-old boy who lost his mother in the Hillsborough disaster had to identify her after her death by picking out her photograph, a jury has heard.

The price of West Texas crude sank to $37.65 (£24.99) a barrel, a drop of 5.8%, while Brent Crude fell 5.3% to $40.73 a barrel. The slumping price comes as OPEC - a group of the largest oil producing nations- refused to cut oil production. OPEC- whose production covers about 30% of the world's oil demand - met in Vienna last week to discuss production. The group has faced growing competition from new supplies, including in the US where techniques like fracking are used to tap previously hard-to-reach oil reserves. "The decision by OPEC members to keep oil production output at record high levels has seen oil prices plummet again," said Sanjiv Shah, chief investment officer of Sun Global Investments. The group had traditionally kept a tight rein on oil production to regulate price, but announced last Friday it will continue to pump out approximately 31.5 million barrels of oil a day, going past the group's former 30 million barrel target. In 2014 Saudi Arabia led OPEC in a decision to keep output high to defend its market share.

The price of oil fell to its lowest level since 2009 as global production continues to remain high.

Media playback is not supported on this device Tries by Tom Habberfield and Tyler Ardron, converted by Dan Biggar, gave the home team a 14-point interval lead. Ulster dominated after the break, but Brendan Leonard's try saw the game off before Jacob Stockdale's late score. Ospreys need a point in their final game to secure a play-off spot while Ulster will have to beat Leinster for any chance of making the final stages. They face Scarlets on 6 May with the west Wales region secure in the play-off places after a 30-8 win over Connacht. Fifth-placed Ulster will need a miracle to overtake to overtake Ospreys in fourth place and will regret the number of missed opportunities after the break in Swansea if - as now seems likely - they fail to make the play-offs. Stockdale beat most of the defence, only to see his final pass go to ground and later kicked the ball over the dead-ball line after outstripping the cover. Charles Piutau dropped the ball close to the Ospreys' line as Ulster put the home team under pressure. But the visitors were made to pay for their profligacy when substitute Leonard crossed for the Ospreys' third try two minutes before time in a rare second-half attack. When Stockdale scored practically from the re-start, it left Ulster looking for a second try and conversion to claim a losing bonus point - only to lose possession at a breakdown for the umpteenth time. Ospreys - coming into the game after three successive league defeats - weathered an early storm and scored from practically their first attack as centre Ashley Beck tied in two defenders to send the unmarked Habberfield over in the corner. Paddy Jackson and Biggar exchanged penalties before the Welsh side took control in the lead up to half-time with only a combination of good Ulster defence and their own lack of composure keeping Ospreys at bay. But on the stroke of half-time a long kick by Jackson saw home full-back and man-of-the-match Dan Evans carve the defence open before handing on to Habberfield who put Ardron over between the posts. The conversion opened a 14-point gap which better reflected Ospreys' dominance. It was Ulster's turn to dominate in the second half, but mistakes and stubborn defending left them wondering what might have been - and facing an almighty challenge in the final game at home to Leinster. Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar, who leaves at the end of the season, may have played his last game for the province after suffering a back spasm which saw him leave the field during the first half. Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss said: "Frustrated and disappointed - two words that describe a lot of things because there's a fair bit of pain in that dressing room. "Ruan [Pienaar] had a back spasm before the game started, he said he'd ride it out but within 20 minutes it was gone. It's a fairly significant spasm and those things can take a while. "Stu McCloskey had a bad dead leg and Stuart Olding was hit hard with his first touch with an ankle injury, it's probably season-ending."

Ospreys survived a second-half onslaught by Ulster to all-but claim a place in the Pro12 play-offs.

Rohan Rhodes should have had blood tests on three occasions in the hours before he died at St Michael's Hospital in Bristol, coroner Maria Voisin said. A narrative conclusion was recorded at Flax Bourton Coroner's Court. The hospital trust said a safety check system has since been introduced. Ms Voisin told an inquest into his death that there were "lost opportunities" to give Rohan earlier medical care before his death when the tests were not carried out. Rohan, from Narberth, was born 15 weeks early at Singleton Hospital in Swansea in August 2012, but was transferred five weeks later to St Michael's Hospital in Bristol for specialist surgery to his heart. The "extremely premature baby" died there aged just 36 days old. The inquest into Rohan's death has heard how he deteriorated soon after a ventilator was removed without the consent of his parents or senior hospital staff. Medical staff wept as they told the three-day hearing how the baby's condition dramatically worsened. The inquest heard the baby was not allowed to die in his mother's arms despite her wishes because staff were unable to remove lines from his body. Rohan had been transferred to St Michael's Hospital for surgery to repair an open heart duct. His parents Alex and Bronwyn Rhodes told the coroners' court on Monday about concerns they had about their son's treatment. They said that Rohan's feeding tubes were inserted "aggressively" and caused him pain. The couple said they did not want any other child to suffer as Rohan did. Following the inquest Mr and Mrs Rhodes said they were planning to take legal action against the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital where their son died. Bryony Strachan, of the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, apologised that opportunities to carry out tests on Rohan were missed, and said safety systems have since been introduced. "The coroner has confirmed that what those results would have been remains unknown, but we are very sorry that those three checks were missed, within continuous monitoring of Rohan's critical condition within NICU (neonatal intensive-care unit)," she said. "We have already put in place clear requirements for blood gas measurements in babies on respiratory support and have implemented a system of safety checking shared by both medical and nursing staff looking after individual babies," she added. On Tuesday the court heard from medical staff at the hospital who said the plan had been to keep Rohan on the ventilator. However, the hearing was told advanced neonatal nurse Amanda Dallorzo took the "autonomous" decision to extubate (remove a tube from the airway), remove the baby from the machine, and apply a breathing mask instead. Rohan's condition dramatically deteriorated and he died the following day. Mrs Rhodes said: "We were terrified and were watching all this in horror. He was so pale and lifeless during this time, we were terrified we were losing him." Dr David Harding, Rohan's consultant, told the inquest that the weekend Rohan died was the "busiest and worst weekend of his career". The court also heard that there were fewer nurses on the ward that weekend than there should have been. A "root cause analysis" report looking at the cause of Rohan's death concluded the ward was understaffed.

The parents of a severely premature baby from Pembrokeshire say they will take legal action against the health trust in charge of the hospital where he died.

The money, from its £74m capital reserves, is the latest part of a £13m loan package to attract new airlines. Airbus will get £2.7m for training facilities at Swansea University and Coleg Cambria in Deeside, Flintshire. While transport projects in north Wales, including Llangefni link road on Anglesey, will also get £2.7m. The Welsh government will also set up loan funds for small businesses. Finance Minister Jane Hutt said the money would boost infrastructure priorities and deliver "real and long-term benefits for people".

Cardiff Airport is to get a £3m loan to develop flight routes as part of £46m Welsh government spending on projects to support the economy.

It follows UKIP leader Nigel Farage's comments on migrants using the NHS for HIV treatment costing £25,000 per year. On the Daily Politics Wales Election Debate on Thursday, Lib Dem Jane Dodds said UKIP lacked "care and compassion" on such healthcare issues. UKIP's Caroline Jones said Ms Dodds was "taking things to extremes" but claimed people were "fed up to the back teeth". Ms Jones told the programme that she understood Mr Farage's comments that the NHS was treating too many people from abroad with HIV. She said: "Is it fair when you've got a small pot of money to allow someone to come in who has never contributed to that pot, and have someone from your family or your constituency to be denied medication and treatment? "That is constantly happening." But Ms Dodds said everybody should have fair treatment, asking "Do you want border security guards on hospitals? "Do you want GPs' surgeries to have lines that say 'do not cross here unless you've paid into the system for five years'? "Where is the care and compassion here?" Plaid Cymru's Carrie Harper said debate about immigration should not be taboo as it was an issue that voters wanted to discuss. "But this type of scaremongering and the blaming immigrants for everything rhetoric is very unhelpful to the debate," she added. "The economic problems facing people in our communities have been caused by the reckless behaviour of bankers in the City, and they've been caused by the austerity agenda of the London parties." For Labour, Nick Thomas-Symonds said the NHS would not be able to function without migrant workers. "The National Health Service is the greatest achievement of any post-War government," he said. "There is no doubt at all factually that without migrant workers working in it, you wouldn't have an NHS in 2015." For the Conservatives, Emma Lane said immigration had been beneficial to the UK. "Immigration can and has benefited our country but it must be managed," she said. "We need to control immigration so the pressure doesn't continue on public services".

A Welsh Liberal Democrat election candidate has accused UKIP of wanting "border security guards" at hospitals.

The Dutch Sunweb rider began Tuesday with a two minutes 41 seconds advantage but stopped temporarily 33km from the finish to deal with "stomach problems". Controversially, the rest of the riders did not wait for him and carried on. Italian Nibali's stage win takes him third in the overall standings, behind Dumoulin and Colombian Nairo Quintana. The defending champion held off Team Sky's Mikel Landa in a sprint finish after escaping from Quintana during a high-speed final descent into Bormio. Dumoulin said he was "very disappointed" and "very angry" immediately after the race, but later wrote on Twitter that he was not upset that the "other teams didn't really wait". "A day to quickly forget! Good legs, but very disappointed that I lost two minutes because nature called," he added. "It was not the moment or the time in the race anymore to come to a complete shutdown because nature called me." Wednesday's stage 17 is a 219km race from Tirano to Canazei. 1.

Kadiza Sultana, who joined so-called Islamic State (IS) last year aged 16, is feared dead after an air strike in Raqqa, her family solicitor has said. Labour's Rushanara Ali said the Prevent strategy needed a "proper assessment". Security minister Ben Wallace said it had been reviewed "to ensure it works". Ms Ali, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme the government needed to establish "what's working and what's not". But Mr Wallace said "ever since Labour introduced Prevent in 2007, the government has continued to review the policy to ensure it works to protect people from being radicalised". "For Prevent to work we all need to get behind it not stand on the sidelines undermining it," he added. Who are Britain’s jihadists? The Britons signing up for Jihad Kadiza and school friends Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, both 15 at the time, flew from Gatwick to Turkey on 17 February 2015 after telling their parents they were going out for the day. The Bethnal Green Academy pupils later entered Syria and were thought to be living in Raqqa, an IS stronghold. The three girls had been studying for their GCSEs at Bethnal Green Academy, in Tower Hamlets, east London - where they have been described as "straight-A students". Tasnime Akunjee, a solicitor representing the families of the three schoolgirls, told BBC Newsnight they heard a report of Kadiza's death following a Russian air strike a few weeks ago. He said they had not been able to independently confirm it because of the nature of information from Syria. By Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent Kadiza Sultana and her two travelling companions were part of a surge of young British Muslims heading out to Syria to join so-called IS in a movement that peaked more than a year ago. Today the surge has turned to barely a trickle. The latest UK Government counter-terrorism strategy report puts the number of Britons who reached Syria at about 850 - although unofficial estimates are higher. Of those, about 125 are believed to have been killed, either by air strikes or by fighting on the ground, and about 400 are thought to have returned to Britain. Anyone known to have travelled to IS-controlled territory is automatically questioned by the police and assessed on a case-by-case basis. If there is any evidence of terrorist-related activity they face prosecution, but others are steered towards deradicalisation programmes and given counselling, with a view to reintegrating them into society here. It is the job of the Home Office and the police to make the correct assessments. Under laws brought in last summer, schools have a legal obligation, known as the "Prevent Duty", to spot and report individuals who might be vulnerable to extremism and radicalisation. Schools have to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into extremist ideologies and schools must ensure pupils do not access extremist material online. Teachers have previously warned the strategy is "shutting down" open debate in schools, encouraging a climate of "over-reaction", and creating "suspicion and confusion" in schools. The government has said Prevent is playing "a key role" in identifying children at risk of radicalisation. However, Ms Ali told Today the case of the three schoolgirls highlighted the fact it was not working. "Many have concerns about how Prevent is being implemented, concerns about young Muslims being stigmatised," she said. "There needs to be a balance struck to protect young people, to prevent them from being radicalised, but also making sure teachers and other agencies have the proper advice training and support." She added: "What the government needs to do is do a proper assessment of what's working and what's not and they need to listen to the Muslim community... "But that requires partnership between communities." Security minister Ben Wallace defended the strategy. "Up and down the country we are successfully seeing communities, local authorities and ordinary citizens doing their bit to protect the vulnerable from those that would seek to groom them for extremist activities," he said. "Prevent is for the benefit of us all no matter what faith or community you belong to. As it is with domestic violence or other forms of abuse it is everyone's duty to be proactive to stop those that would subvert our young people." Sara Khan, co-founder of the counter-extremism organisation Inspire, told Today that she saw Kadiza as a victim, "because she's not an adult". Young girls who are exposed to radicalisation "lack critical thinking skills", which "is what makes them vulnerable to Islamist extremist propaganda in particular", she said. She added that girls being exposed to extremist material were "not receiving counter-messages". The Bethnal Green schoolgirls were among more than 800 Britons who are believed to have left the UK to join IS or other militant groups in Syria and Iraq, In February 2015 the principal of Bethnal Green Academy, Mark Keary, said there was no evidence that the girls were radicalised at school, adding that pupils could not access Twitter or Facebook on its computers. It later emerged that, before leaving the UK, Shamima Begum had sent a Twitter message to Aqsa Mahmood, who left Glasgow for Syria in 2013 to marry an Islamic State fighter. A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "The UK has advised for some time against all travel to Syria. As all UK consular services there are suspended, it is extremely difficult to confirm the status and whereabouts of British nationals in Syria. "Anyone who does travel to these areas, for whatever reason, is putting themselves in considerable danger."

A Labour MP has expressed "huge concerns" about the counter-terrorism strategy in UK schools, after reports one of three east London teenagers who fled to Syria has been killed.

Twelve people died in the 19 December attack. Amri fled to Italy and was shot dead by police in Milan. Investigators believe Bilel A, aged 26, was either involved in planning the attack or at least knew about it. Police say they have arrested him on suspicion of benefit fraud as they do not have enough evidence against him. Federal prosecutors' spokeswoman Frauke Koehler told reporters on Wednesday that the suspect had known Amri since the end of 2015 and that the pair had met at a restaurant on the evening before the attack and had "very intense conversations". The suspect's home in an asylum shelter had been searched and communication devices taken away for analysis, she added. The man is believed to have used at least two false names in several German cities between April and November 2015. A former flatmate of Amri's is also being investigated as a potential witness. Amri twice tried to contact him on 19 December, although it is unclear whether or not they spoke. Over a fortnight after the attack, German prosecutors have said there is now no doubt that 24-year-old Anis Amri was behind the attack. And investigators across Europe have a clearer picture of what happened on the night of the attack and how Amri fled south to Italy. Police in Italy confirmed on Wednesday that the gun used by Amri to murder Polish driver Lukasz Urban was the same he fired four days later in Milan. Shortly before the attack, Amri is thought to have gone to Friedrich-Krause-Ufer, a street where he shot dead Mr Urban. He then went to a mosque and returned to the lorry to carry out the attack on Breitscheidplatz a few miles away. Amri was then seen on camera a short distance from the square at Zoo station, raising an index finger, a gesture linked to jihadist group Islamic State. What happens next is unclear, but it is thought that he escaped to the North Rhine-Westphalia area of western Germany. His final journey took him through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Italy, exploiting the open borders of Europe's Schengen zone. Some of Amri's story is yet to emerge. Swiss police said they too had opened an inquiry into the Berlin attack after receiving information from another police force.

Berlin police have detained a Tunisian man suspected of eating dinner with Anis Amri the night before he drove a lorry into a crowded Christmas market.

Fears have been expressed by some in the industry that a breakdown in the current agreement could result in more cash machines charging a fee. LINK - which operates the network of 70,000 ATMs in the UK - said that its commercial model is "under review". Some banks are thought to be unhappy about the fees they currently pay. As a result all 38 members of the LINK network are due to have a series of meetings to try to reach an agreement, beginning next week. At the moment around 75% of ATMs are free to use. But Peter McNamara, the Chief Executive of Note Machine, a member of LINK, said that consumers could face being charged at many more of them. "If the proposals that are being put forward by LINK went ahead, we estimate that you could be losing up to a quarter of the free-to-use ATM sites in the UK," he told BBC Radio Five Live. At the centre of the dispute are the so-called interchange fees. When a customer of one bank uses a cash machine belonging to another bank, the customer's own bank pays a fee to the operator, in the region of 25p. It's thought that banks with a large number of card-holders feel they are being unfairly penalised. "Some of the very big banks have a lot of cardholders who do a lot of transactions, and they feel that perhaps their share of what they are putting in the pot that pays for ATMs is disproportionate and potentially too high," said Mr McNamara. "They may go outside the LINK mechanism to find a cheaper way of making those machines run, which is the risk in the system that could develop." LINK said the discussions could take several months. "We operate in a competitive market and there are other ATM networks in the UK available for card issuers and ATM operators if our model becomes unattractive," a spokesperson said. "We are working hard to avoid this situation."

The operator of the UK's ATM network has said it is working hard to keep cash withdrawals free for millions of bank customers.

Baxter, 24, played the last of his 93 league games for United in February, with the ex-Everton trainee then banned for an unspecified reason by the club. In July 2015 he was suspended by the Football Association for failing an out-of-competition drugs test. Midfielder Ryan Flynn, 24, who scored 13 goals in 153 league games, has also been released. Meanwhile, Dean Hammond, who made 34 Blades appearances during his loan spell from Leicester City in the 2015-16 season, has activated a clause in his contract to remain at Bramall Lane on a permanent deal. However, the 33-year-old has immediately been placed on the transfer list alongside Kieron Freeman, Kieran Wallace, James Wallace, Paul Coutts, Martyn Woolford and Diego De Girolamo. Goalkeeper George Long has been offered a new deal while Alex Baptiste, David Edgar and Conor Sammon have left the club after their loan deals expired. Mark Howard, Bob Harris, Callum McFadzean, Terry Kennedy, Harrison McGahey, Jay McEveley, Florent Cuvelier and Jamal Campbell-Ryce have all been released.

Forward Jose Baxter, who was suspended twice in nine months, is among 10 players released by Sheffield United.

The parade also commemorates Yeovilton's 75th birthday and is in recognition of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two. Platoons from HMS Heron, led by the Queen's Colours and the Band of the Royal Marines, marched before Yeovil mayor Mike Lock. There was also a flypast representing all the squadrons based at Yeovilton. Lieutenant Commander Chris Gray said the freedom of Yeovil was granted to the base in 1962 and the parade "reinforces our bond and close links" with the town.

Royal Marines from RNAS Yeovilton have marched through Yeovil to mark the base's freedom of the town.

Jahed Choudhury, 24, married Sean Rogan at Walsall Register Office and shared his story on YouTube. However, he told the Victoria Derbyshire Show he had been threatened online and in the street. But the couple said they had also received messages of support and would continue to share their story. Since their ceremony Mr Choudhury said the couple had received death threats online and abuse on the streets. "The worst [messages] say 'the next time I see you in the streets, I'm going to throw acid in your face'. "Even if I walk down the streets, I have people spitting on me and calling me pig - all the nasty stuff. I just keep walking." The couple said they had not yet reported the incident to police and were considering whether to do so. Mr Choudhury said he had also received "amazing" support from his online followers, including people who said the couple had inspired them to come out. "I've been brought up Muslim and the Koran mentions you cannot be gay and Muslim. But this is how I have chosen to live my life. I will never get rid of my faith." Mr Choudhury said he had attempted suicide in the past but added his family had been "really supportive" since he came out. He has now set up a YouTube channel where his story received more than 5,000 views, and says he was motivated to speak out online to encourage support for gay people from religious backgrounds.

A man thought to be one of the first UK Muslims to have a same-sex marriage said people have threatened to throw acid in his face since the ceremony.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) ruled that the five players all featured in the first round first leg in Sudan on 3 April. Caf rules state only players born after 1 January 1997 are eligible to participate in the qualifiers. Sudan qualify automatically for the second round as they try to reach the finals in Zambia next year. The decision can be contested with the Caf's Appeal Board within three days of being notified.

The 75-year-old, from London, admitted the abuse of 11 boys as young as eight. He denied three other offences. Denning, who was arrested in a police inquiry into the Walton Hop Disco for teenagers in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, will be sentenced on 6 October. He was part of the original line-up that launched Radio 1 in 1967, but left two years later. The prosecution said it did not intend to proceed with a trial on the three charges to which Denning had pleaded not guilty. He is currently serving a 13-year jail term for sexual assaults against 24 victims aged nine to 16 from the 1960s to 1980s. He will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court by the same judge who jailed him for those offences in 2014. The latest offences Denning admitted included indecent assaults on men and boys and inciting boys aged under 16 and 14 to commit acts of gross indecency. The offences he denied were three counts of indecent assault. Surrey Police said the case against the former DJ formed was part of its Operation Ravine investigation into non-recent sexual offences linked to the Walton Hop Disco which ran between 1958 and 2001. Det Ch Ins Jo Hayes said: "Denning, who was looked up to and sometimes idolised by many young people, has used his status to prey on innocent children which he has now admitted to." Four of Denning's victims were in court to see him plead guilty. Det Ch Insp Hayes said: "The four boys who Denning abused had moved on with their lives and were now adult men with families and careers. Often, they had not spoken to those closest to them about their ordeal as a child and only recently, as part of this investigation, have been able to do so... "We can never go back and take away the abuse these four men suffered as boys but I hope, in some way, today's guilty plea brings some closure for them." Chris Denning rose to prominence in the 1960s on BBC television and radio. He was one of the first announcers heard on BBC Two when the channel began broadcasting in 1964 and went on to be one of the original Radio 1 DJs. Denning helped launch the careers of the Bay City Rollers and Gary Glitter, and ran his own music and video production business. He remained a well-known DJ and presenter into the early 1970s. The allegations that led to his conviction in 2014 arose after the sex abuse perpetrated by late Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile came to light. Denning's arrest was under the strand of the investigation into offences not connected to Savile, but the court heard he did use his fame to "entice" boys. This included taking some victims to recordings of Top of the Pops, and in other instances, introducing them to celebrities including Savile. Denning had a number of previous convictions for abusing young boys. In 1974, he was convicted of gross indecency and indecent assault but was not imprisoned. He was then jailed for 18 months in 1985 for gross indecency, and in 1988 he received a three-year sentence, this time for indecent assault and possession of indecent images. In 1996, he was handed a 10-week sentence for publishing indecent articles. He was arrested in the Czech Republic in 1997 and eventually jailed in 2000 by a Prague court for four and a half years for having sexual contact with underage teenage boys. The UK tried and failed to have Denning extradited from the Czech Republic, but in 2005 he was arrested at Heathrow Airport, having arrived from Austria. In January 2006, a British court jailed him for four years after he admitted five charges of indecent assault on boys under 16 during the 1970s and 80s. He was then extradited to Slovakia, where he was given a five-year sentence in 2008 for producing indecent images of children.

Former BBC DJ Chris Denning has pleaded guilty to 21 child sex offences committed between 1969 and 1986.

Edward Alexander Lee, 34, was sentenced to three years on probation at Belfast Crown Court on Wednesday. Judge Gordon Kerr QC said it was the best way of protecting society and helping Lee to change his ways. Lee, originally from Whitehall Square, Belfast, but now living in England, pleaded guilty to a total of 15 charges related to child pornography. The court was told the vast majority of the images were in the lowest categories, although some were in the higher - more serious - categories. Lee was described by his wife as a being "loving and normal young man". Judge Kerr said that while he had viewed the images for his "own strange pleasure", they were serious matters as "children were abused for these images to be made". He added that children would continue to be abused while people like Lee continued to view such material, and that "society would not tolerate such behaviour". Judge Kerr said a sentence of up to a year in prison would do very little to assist Lee or the community. Placing him on probation, he ordered him to complete a course on sexual offending to help him stop viewing such images. Earlier, prosecutor Simon Jenkins said that when police went to Lee's then Belfast home on 5 June, 2014, he immediately confirmed he was the man they were looking for. On computer equipment seized, police uncovered a number of folders, which Lee admitted creating. During interview, Lee said that he had been downloading images "for perhaps the last nine years". Defence lawyer Taylor Campbell said that Lee had admitted his guilt from the outset, pleading guilty at arraignment, and was entirely frank and co-operative with police.

A man, who downloaded thousands of images of children being sexually abused, has been released on probation.

It follows 55,000 job cuts announced earlier this year. The losses will come in Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), which is splitting from the printer and PC business. The company says the cuts will save $2.7bn (£1.76bn) in annual costs, although the plan will cost $2.7bn to carry out. At a meeting for Wall Street analysts, chairman and chief executive Meg Whitman said: "We've done a significant amount of work over the past few years to take costs out and simplify processes and these final actions will eliminate the need for any future corporate restructuring." The new structure proposed by Ms Whitman sees HP Enterprise focusing primarily on businesses and government agencies, and the PC and printing divisions on the consumer market. The company currently has more than 300,000 employees. "The number is sadly larger than some people might have expected, but I think it's a reflection of how much trouble HP has been having with its services," said Charles King, analyst at the Silicon Valley IT consulting firm Pund-IT. "I'm frankly not sure if HP is finished with the layoffs." The company will not say where the cuts will fall, but part of the plan involves changing the nature of the workforce. The proportion of workers in what HPE calls "low-cost locations" is expected to rise from around 42% now to 60% by 2018. The tech company has struggled over the last decade to keep up with changing demands as customers move away from desktop computers. However, Hewlett-Packard is still one of the world's largest technology companies, with revenues this year expected to top $50bn. The company famously started life in a Palo Alto garage in California in 1939 and grew to be the guiding light of what became known as Silicon Valley. Its fortunes started to decline with a series of expensive and much criticised acquisitions including Compaq for $25bn in 2002, consultants EDS for $14bn in 2008 and Autonomy for $11bn in 2011. In 2012 it lost its position as the world's leading supplier of PCs to Lenovo. The share price peaked at the height of the dot.com boom in 2000, and, despite two surges in 2007 and 2010, it has lost some 60% of its value since then.

Hewlett-Packard says it will cut another 25,000-30,000 jobs, or 10% of its workforce, as it plans to split the company in two.

Edward Furneaux, 74, died after crashing his car into a tree in Kewstoke Road, Worle, on the morning of 19 January. The body of his 70-year-old wife, Anne, was found at a property in Pilgrim's Way the same day. No-one else is being sought in the murder inquiry into Mrs Furneaux's death, Avon and Somerset Police said.

A husband and wife who died in an apparent murder-suicide in North Somerset have been named.

A Mass for Eoghan Chada, 10, and his brother Ruairí, 5, was said in St Lazerian's Church, Ballinkillen, in County Carlow. Parish priest Father Declan Foley said the boys' deaths were "beyond comprehension". He said when their bodies were discovered, it was as "if the earth had quaked and the house had shook". Parish priest Father Declan Foley said the pair had brought joy and happiness to their family and the community in Ballinkillen. He reflected on the fact that last Sunday the boys had been in the church with their grandmother, helping her tidy up after Mass. On Friday, the boys were buried in the adjoining cemetery to the church. The service included the boy's favourite Bible story, Noah's Ark, and a reflection by Father George Augustine, an Indian priest from Portlaoise. "Their deaths have stunned the whole community but particularly the parents of their classmates, and their big concern was how they were going to tell their own children this sad news," Fr Foley said. On Friday, a judge ordered that the boys' father, who is charged with their murder, should undergo medical treatment. Sanjeev Chada, 43, from Ballinkillen, County Carlow, was further remanded in custody when he appeared before a district court in County Roscommon. The bodies of Eoghan and Ruairí Chada were discovered in a vehicle driven by their father in County Mayo on Monday. Their father was charged with their murders on Thursday night.

Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of two young boys found dead in the boot of a car in County Mayo.

The move apparently follows a request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. It also comes ahead of a speech on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by US Secretary of State John Kerry. On Friday, the US chose not to veto a UN Security Council resolution calling for an end to settlement construction. The decision to abstain infuriated Mr Netanyahu, whose spokesman said on Tuesday he had "ironclad information" from Arab sources that the White House had helped draft the language of the resolution and "pushed hard" for its passage. A US state department spokesman said the accusation was "just not true", but he hoped the resolution would "serve as a wake-up call" for Israel. More than 500,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. The Security Council resolution passed on Friday stated that the establishment of settlements "has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace". Israel rejected the resolution, and the BBC's Yolande Knell said it was particularly angry about the condemnation of building in East Jerusalem - which it sees as part of its capital, but which the Palestinians want as the capital of their future state. Mr Netanyahu responded over the weekend by summoning the ambassadors of the US and the 14 countries on the Security Council who voted in favour of the resolution, recalling Israel's ambassadors to New Zealand and Senegal, cutting aid to Senegal, and cancelling a visit by Ukraine's prime minister. The Jerusalem Planning and Housing Committee had indicated it would press ahead with a planned vote on authorising 492 new homes in the settlements of Ramat Shlomo and Ramot. But on Wednesday, planning committee member Hanan Rubin said the vote had been postponed. Mr Rubin told the BBC this was at the request of the prime minister's office, to avoid further straining relations with Washington hours before Mr Kerry's speech. "It's in our interest to avoid political voting in Jerusalem because Jerusalem is not the same as settlements around Israel," he said. "We are creating affordable housing and housing for young families... and if there is a big storm and Kerry's speech today, we are looking to avoid this conflict." Mr Kerry is expected to lay out his vision later on Wednesday for ending the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and address what a senior state department official described as "misleading critiques" of the Obama administration by the Israeli government. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has said the resolution "paves the way" for the upcoming conference on Middle East peace in France on 15 January. "We hope this conference comes up with a mechanism and timetable to end the occupation," he told a meeting of his Fatah party on Monday.

An Israeli committee has postponed a vote to authorise construction of almost 500 new homes in Jewish settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.

That's the conclusion of a study that suggests a fourfold rise in the amount of mineral and organic phosphorus needed on grasslands by 2050. The researchers say that at present, more phosphorus is being lost from soils than is being added by farmers. But there are concerns that increases in the use of the mineral could damage the environment. Phosphorus is an irreplaceable element for all life forms - but it is only since the 19th century that humans have been systematically using it to boost agricultural production. The mineral can be mined as phosphate ore - but animal excrement is also an important source especially in the developing world. Demand grew so rapidly over the 20th century that there were concerns about overuse and "peak phosphorus". But research published in 2012, looking at the need for phosphorus on crops, suggested that future demand could be met from existing sources. This new study though looks at the use of phosphorus on grasslands which cover around a quarter of the Earth's ice-free land areas. These fields are crucial are in the production of milk and meat. As global incomes rise, demand for these products is set to soar. This in turn will spark a rise in demand grass crops and production is expected to increase by 80% by 2050. But the study points out that at present, the vast majority of grasslands in the world are losing more phosphorus than they are gaining. The losses are mainly caused by farmers collecting manure from grasslands and using it to fertilise croplands. The amount being lost from intensive farming is far greater than from pastoral systems. Between 1970 and 2005, 44% of these losses occurred in Asia. "This is one main factor," said Prof Martin van Ittersum, a co-author of the study from the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands. "Of all the manure that is deposited on the grassland, half of it is taken away for croplands or used for fuel or for plastering the walls of the houses in Africa. The fact is that the grasslands are not fertilised, so you have very little inputs to the system." The researchers say that to meet the projected demand for grassland in 2050, the amounts of phosphorus used will have to grow more than fourfold from 2005 levels. To cope with both grassland and arable land demands, the overall use of mineral phosphorus fertiliser must double by the middle of the century. "It is a vast area but that is very significant, yes," said Prof van Ittersum. "It is our strong assumption, that productivity will decrease and the pressure on our feed crops will increase and that is something that we should avoid," he said. "There is already a societal concern that we are feeding too much of our cereal crops to livestock and that pressure will only increase if our grasslands decrease in productivity." But increasing the amount of phosphorus used on land, especially in mineral form, carries significant environmental concerns. Excessive use of fertilisers of all types can lead to a leaching of nutrients into the sea where they have created so-called "dead zones". "A fourfold rise in phosphorus use would have a big impact on the environment, especially on marine life," said Marissa de Boer who is European Project Manager of SusPhos at VU University in Amsterdam. "The leaching of phosphorus from agricultural lands into rivers and eventually the sea leads to uncontrolled algae growth and dead zones such as the ones found in the Baltic Sea, Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico. This is an effect of increased fertilizer use in the past half century. What would the effect be if we now increase phosphorus use fourfold?" Prof van Ittersum says these issues can be controlled. The most important thing is awareness. "We are still talking about modest amounts, I don't think the environmental risks are particularly big," he told BBC News. "We have to do it carefully, we have to reuse our residues and wastes and make sure as little phosphorus as possible ends up in our sewage systems." The study has been published in the journal, Nature Communications. Follow Matt on Twitter @mattmcgrathbbc and on Facebook.

The world must significantly increase its use of phosphorus-based fertiliser to meet future demands for food.

Luke, 18, is one of 14 successful candidates from the 282 youngsters who entered the Fighting Chance scheme. GB Taekwondo chief Gary Hall said that, like his sister Jade, the teenager is "a good character". Hall added: "He hasn't got the tactical game finesse his sister has but he has a lot of the basic ingredients." The 14 who made the cut will undergo a three-month training regime before fighting at the Austrian Open in June. Performance director Hall added: "This group is really strong. We have done [the Fighting Chance scheme] four times and this has got to be one of the strongest intakes we have had. "They will go on a three-month programme, including participation in the Austrian Open, to see how they perform. "If they are really making progress in the system then we will continue with them."

Jean-Claude Juncker said the UK imposed no migration controls on eight central European and Baltic nations joining the EU in 2004 and the new proposals would "address the consequences" of that. But he said the emergency brake would only apply in "exceptional cases". Eurosceptics say it is ineffectual and could make the situation worse. Speaking in the European Parliament, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the plan was a "handbrake turn" by David Cameron. The prime minister has hailed a plan to allow the UK to limit the amount of tax credits paid to new EU migrants for up to four years as one of the key elements of a draft package of reforms to the UK's membership of the EU - the details of which he will set out to the UK Parliament later. He has said the emergency brake, which would take effect if it could be proven that high levels of migration were putting an extreme strain on the UK's benefits system, could be triggered almost immediately. But many Tory MPs have criticised the plan, saying it is a watered-down version of the total four-year ban the PM was hoping for and that new migrants would still receive "graduated" rates of in-work benefits over the four year period and the full amount after that. They are also unhappy that the brake would have to be approved by other EU nations and the UK could not apply it unilaterally. Defending the proposals and the rest of the draft deal in the European Parliament, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said that the entire package - which must be approved by the EU as a whole, was "fair to the UK and fair to the other 27 EU states". On welfare, he said: "We propose to create a safeguard mechanism tailor-made to the concerns of the UK, that would allow it to restrict the excess of EU workers newly entering its Labour market to in-work benefits in a graduated manner for a period of up to four years. "The duration of the mechanism will be limited in time - that is a crucial characteristic of a safeguard mechanism, necessary to make it compatible with the (EU) treaties. It will apply in exceptional cases as all derogrations from the freedoms (of movement rules) should." Mr Juncker pointed out that the then Labour government had had the option to introduce transitional controls on migration when countries such as Poland and Hungary entered the EU in 2004 but, unlike Germany, decided against doing so. One of the most controversial decisions of Tony Blair's time in office, several former Labour ministers have since said it was a mistake and acknowledged the government hugely underestimated the number of people who would come to the UK. Mr Juncker said "as a result" of that decision "over the past decade, the UK attracted a record number of mobile EU citizens". He added. "In effect, we will enable the UK to use the safeguards mechanism to address the consequences of that decision." But UKIP leader Nigel Farage, also speaking in the European Parliament, said the safeguards were totally insubstantial and would not allow the UK to reduce levels of annual net migration, which rose to 336,000 in the year to June 2015. "We have an emergency brake on migrants benefits. Wow. It was supposed to be a total ban on migrants benefits for four years. So it is hardly an emergency brake, it is more of a handbrake turn." Mr Farage said Mr Cameron would not be able to get any further concessions out of the EU and the forthcoming referendum on the UK's future in the EU would be a battle between "vested self-interests and people power". Former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, who is now a leading MEP, suggested that if the UK voted to leave the EU, it would be a boost for Russia and China. "I think Britain without Europe - ok it's a dwarf, let's be honest," he claimed. "We Belgians, we know that we are dwarfs but maybe they're going to know it also. And at the other hand Europe without Great Britain, yes, doesn't count, is not a counterweight against China, against Russia, against the United States. "It is Vladimir Putin, in fact, who wins in this game in the end because Putin likes a divided Europe."

Limiting in-work benefits to new EU arrivals will help tackle the effects of record migration to the UK since 2004, the EC's president has said.

Davis has made 14 appearances for the Cod Army since joining on loan in October, and recently agreed to extend his stay until the end of the season. The 22-year-old signed for Leicester from Port Vale in 2014, but did not feature for the first team. "I'm delighted that it's all been done now and I can concentrate on my football," he told the club website. "I stated from the start that I'd be really interested in staying with the club, and I'm just over the moon to be here now." The length of Davis' deal with Fleetwood has not been disclosed.

Two men were convicted for carrying out abuse during the 1970s, 80s and 90s at the now closed Skircoat Lodge. Victim Kaz Gray said inquiries did not go far enough and some individuals were allegedly still working with children. Calderdale Council said no one involved in the historical cases still worked for the authority. In 2001, Malcom Phillips, who ran Skircoat Lodge for nearly 20 years, was jailed for seven years for repeated abuse of children in his care. A social worker there, Andrew Shadders, who abused boys, was jailed for 15 years. Another man, Terence O'Hagan, was charged with abuse but died before conviction. Ms Gray, who is leading the protest at the council's social services offices, said the scale of the abuse in care homes in Calderdale over that period of time was "rampant". She said: "When I went into care one of the first things they did was put me on the pill. "I was 14, the youngest lass I knew of at the time on the pill in Skircoat was 11 years old." Ms Gray, who has waived her right to anonymity, was abused at Skircoat and said she was trafficked to a care home in North Wales where she was raped. She said she considered there were people still working with children in the area who had been "complicit in the abuse" of youngsters decades ago. "Nothing's changed, nothing will change until everything comes out," she added. The council said it fully supported the investigation at the time. It added: This was an appalling case and we regret that children suffered when they were in the care of the local authority. "I would like to reassure people that nobody involved in the historic cases works for the council, and in the intervening years our safeguarding practices have changed beyond recognition." Chief Supt Dickie Whitehead, Calderdale District Commander, said a thorough investigation was carried out by police and the council between 1997 and 2002 following allegations against a number of employees at Skircoat Lodge Assessment Centre and Dobroyd Castle. He said: "This led to a number of arrests and prosecutions, resulting in a number of substantial prison sentences." Mr Whitehead urged victims of abuse to come forward, adding: "We can promise that reports will be investigated and victims will be treated with the utmost sensitivity."

Victims of child sex abuse in Halifax are staging a protest calling for an inquiry into historical abuse at care homes in Calderdale to be reopened.

The cloning of the first animal from an adult cell was a remarkable scientific achievement. It promised new treatments for debilitating diseases. But it also raised fears of cloned human beings, designer babies and a dystopian future. Twenty years on, neither the hopes nor the fears have been realised. So what is Dolly's legacy? I first saw Dolly in 1997 at the Roslin Institute just outside Edinburgh. She stood apart from the other sheep in the pens at this agricultural research centre. She stood prouder, her fleece seemed like a lion's mane and there was an aura about her. Dolly's creation had echoes of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein, in which inanimate tissue was brought to life by electricity. Dolly was created from DNA taken from a cell taken from an sheep. The technique involved putting the DNA into an empty eggshell and then zapping it with electricity. This created an embryo. Researchers at Roslin then implanted the embryo into the womb of a sheep which grew into Dolly - an exact genetic copy of the sheep from which the skin cell was taken. It took 277 attempts to clone Dolly and there were many miscarriages on the way. There were also genuine concerns that it would not be long before cloned humans would be walking the Earth - people would try to clone themselves to achieve a kind of immortality or they might try to resurrect a beloved dead relative. The airwaves were filled with conversations about what it meant to be human, whether the clones would be exactly the same as the person from which they were cloned and what kind of world the scientists were tumbling us into. When I met the researchers at Roslin they were acutely aware of public suspicion. And they knew it was important to be clear, open and honest about their work. Dolly's creator, Prof Sir Ian Wilmut, could not be any more different from fictional scientists such as Dr Frankenstein or indeed Dr Moreau, who developed human-like hybrids in a story by HG Wells. By contrast, Prof Wilmut is a quietly-spoken man whose motivation was to improve animal welfare and human health. This bespectacled scientist with his gentle candour was ideally complemented by the enthusiastic and eloquent Dr Simon Best, who was brought in to commercialise the technology to improve human health. A former manager of the early 1980s pop group The Human League turned biotechnology pioneer, Prof Best knew how to sell a good story and do so with panache. Between them they quickly changed the narrative from that of a nightmare future to one in which cloning was used to treat many incurable diseases. Prof Wilmut and Dr Best promoted the term "therapeutic cloning". Their vision was to develop treatments for heart disease, Parkinson's Disease and rheumatism by taking cells from patients and using cloning technology to create healthy tissues which could then be transplanted to heal their damaged cells. This raised further concerns from some church and anti-abortion groups, who were concerned that the process involved the creation, and then destruction, of human embryos. They wanted the technology banned but, following strong lobbying by the medical research community, parliament permitted therapeutic cloning but banned the cloning of human beings. Since then, the much hoped-for benefits from therapeutic cloning have not emerged. Some groups in the UK are cloning tissues from patients to study diseases and test drugs. But no so-called cell-replacement treatments have yet been developed. However, important scientific breakthroughs can - and usually do - take time to have an impact. Dolly's legacy is to show scientists that animal cells can be reprogrammed. They can be rejuvenated and redirected to form any cell in the human body. Scientists may not have reaped the clinical benefits just yet but, at a stroke, Dolly's birth changed scientific thinking forever. It is hard to imagine how this incredible biological insight won't alter the world fundamentally and in ways we have yet to imagine.

The birth of Dolly the sheep seemed one of those moments in scientific research that would change the world forever.

Strachan has indicated a willingness to cap some of the country's young talents as he begins preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign. Some of BBC Scotland's football analysts, all of whom have played for Scotland, give their thoughts on which players deserve the chance to impress the national manager in Prague and Glasgow later this month. Position: Central midfield Age: 24 Experience: A product of the Aberdeen youth system and has been capped up until under-21 level. Former Aberdeen defender, manager and director Miller said: "He's got everything you need to make the step up from club to international level. "In that defensive midfield role, he has great composure, a good touch, he doesn't get flustered and he's happy to take the ball in tight areas. "At a young age, he's been given the captaincy of a title-challenging team, which he's handled well and he plays an extremely prominent role in a very good Aberdeen side." Position: Central midfield Age: 21 Experience: Came through the youth ranks with St Mirren before switching to Championship rivals Hibernian after the Paisley's club's relegation last summer and is a regular for Scotland Under-21s. Former Dundee United, Rangers, Cardiff City and Burnley striker Thompson said of his former Buddies team-mate: "I've known him since he made his debut for St Mirren and it looks as though this season he's really turned from a boy to a man. "He's physically stronger and he now has the belief and confidence that he's a top midfielder. "He's the complete midfielder: he can tackle and be combative but also creative, with driving, surging runs. "Despite only being 21, he's played more than 100 league games, so he's got great experience and has managed to maintain a level of consistency throughout this season." Position: Left-back Age: 18 Experience: Has not even represented Scotland beyond under-19 level as yet but burst into the Celtic first-team from their youth ranks this season and ousted Honduras international Emilio Izaguirre from the left full-back position with the Scottish champions. Former Dundee United, Celtic, Bristol City and Dumbarton right-back Wilson said: "He may only have played 23 times for Celtic, but at 18 he's been a real stand-out in a lot of those games and, if you're a stand-out at Celtic, that speaks volumes. "Given the pressure and scrutiny they're under, he's stood up to the challenge and, even in European games, he's been the man of the match. "He has a great engine; he can get from goal-line to goal-line and, unlike a lot of young full-backs, he hasn't sacrificed the defensive part of his game just to concentrate on the attacking aspect. "There are a lot of similarities with Andy Robertson in that he can make a tackle at one end and then be putting in a quality cross at the other within seconds - and he's got quite a number of assists already." Position: Winger Age: 22 Experience: Has played for Scotland at all youth levels after coming through the youth ranks with Hearts and has recently returned from long-term injury to resume his place in the first team at Tynecastle. Former Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Hearts, Hibernian, Genclerbirligi and Charlton Athletic midfielder Stewart said: "Unfortunately, he's missed a chunk of the season through injury, but he's come back and hit the ground running with three goals in three games. "He's an exciting talent who has the ability to unlock defences with his dribbling skills and also his vision. "At 22, he is now becoming a mainstay of the Hearts team and is at the perfect age to try to get into the senior Scotland squad and continue his progress."

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan is to announce two squads this week for the forthcoming friendly internationals against the Czech Republic and Denmark.

Officers fired tyre-deflation rounds at the raiders' Mercedes after they tried to ram a police car to escape. Two further rounds were discharged at another car which was mistakenly thought to be involved. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) said the officers' response was "wholly justified." No members of the public were injured during the incident on 12 February last year. The five men were arrested outside the restaurant after stealing an ATM in Carnoustie earlier that day. Seven men were convicted of blowing up cash machines at banks and supermarkets across England and Scotland at Liverpool Crown Court this week. The Pirc report said the police firearms response was "necessary and proportionate" due to the high risk posed to the public. Commissioner Kate Frame said: "The police response, to what was a significant threat to public safety and the officers themselves, was wholly justified. "They had reliable intelligence to indicate they were dealing with suspects who had access to firearms, a history of extreme violence and who had previously used high-powered stolen vehicles to ram police vehicles and escape. "When the suspects then used the same dangerous tactic to try and avoid arrest during this incident, the use of tyre deflation rounds to disable their vehicle was not only necessary but proportionate."

Police firearms officers who cornered an ATM theft gang at an Arbroath McDonald's restaurant shot at a car not involved in the crime, it has emerged.

According to organisers a record 3.6 million turned out to vote in the Scottish independence referendum. More than 100,000 of the total were 16 to 17-year-olds who had registered to vote. Erin Fyfe McWilliam, 16 said: "I'm glad the government thought we were able to make decisions for our country." She thinks it's put young people in the spotlight: "Usually the older generation see us as being the 'tallywags' who don't care about politics at all. "But I do think this referendum has taught the younger generation a lot about politics." A survey, commissioned by Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft, said 71% of 16 to 17-year-olds voted for Scotland to be independent and 29% voted against. So even if the age-group contributed their political views, it didn't appear to influence the outcome. Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom after the "No" campaign won. The Scottish referendum was a one-off for 16 and 17-year-olds, after the Scottish Parliament passed legislation allowing it to happen. But for years youth campaign groups have been trying to get the UK voting age lowered, arguing you can get married at 16 and pay your taxes, so why not vote? Gaelan Miller 17, who voted in the referendum, agreed that he didn't have that much life experience but said that shouldn't matter. "Sometimes I think young folk like me can be influenced by your parents and we don't have mortgages," he said. "But that's not to say we can't look at statistics at what's happened before with mortgages and ask your parents questions." The Lib Dems are all for 16 and 17-year-olds voting and promised it in their 2010 manifesto. Labour leader, Ed Miliband, also backs lowering the age. UKIP are against it, the Green Party is for and the Scottish National Party (SNP) is in favour as well. David Cameron and the Tories oppose it, so until all the parties agree to debate the issue it's unlikely to happen. Senior Lib Dem minister and Scottish MP, Danny Alexander, told Newsbeat he believes young people "bring a freshness to the debate and ask important questions". He said: "I've always believed that 16 to 17-year-olds should have the vote. "Some of the best debates and discussion I have had about the Scottish referendum have been with young people in schools and Newsbeat's Big Debate." But when asked about lowering the voting age before the next General election in May 2015, he was less optimistic. "Not every party wants that so that we will have to look at that. We need to build a consensus across all parties for that happen. So we could have debate the constitutional changes in the UK," the chief of the Treasury said. "All parties have to agree to do that. But I think the time has come for reform." 17-year-old Erin added: "It's a bit disappointing being given this opportunity, then being told a few months down the line you have to wait a few years. I think it should be changed so that 16 and 17 year olds can vote." In the last general election in 2010, fewer than half of all 18 to 24-year-olds voted, which was much lower than the national average. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

How did it go for the 16 and 17-year-olds who were allowed to vote for the first time ever in the UK?

West Australian fire authorities said it is too late for some residents in Waroona area who have not yet evacuated to leave. They said the "out-of-control and unpredictable" blaze was burning along the South Western Highway. Strong winds overnight fanned the flames which reportedly started in the Lane Poole Reserve on Wednesday. Waroona resident Melissa Young told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. she left her home when she saw the glow of the fire. "The glow is scary enough... and the ash is coming into the backyards and into the fences, and the smoke's getting really thick so it was just time to get out," she said.

Lives and homes are under threat from a fast-moving bushfire sparked by lightning south of Perth.

Oil prices suffered a second year of steep losses and are expected to take at least another year to clear as the international surplus continues. The Dow Jones was down 178.84 points or 1.03%, at 17,425.03. The S&P 500 was down 0.95% at 2,043.86, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite was 1.15% lower at 5,007.41. The oil price collapse sent global markets reeling throughout 2015. Shares of US oil giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil were down 0.17% and 0.22% respectively for the day. Energy stocks have taken a beating this year, with the S&P energy sector losing nearly 24% in the last twelve months. For the year the S&P 500 was down 0.7% while the Dow Jones ended 2.2% lower. The Nasdaq, however was a bright spot closing 5.7% higher for 2015. Trading volumes were thin on the last day of the year. Apple was down 1.92% weighing on the Nasdaq. McDonald's was down 1.08% at $118 and weighed on the Dow the most. Stocks were led lower as US jobless claims increased by 20,000 to 287,000 last week, wildly missing forecasts of 270,000. Brent crude oil was up 3% at $37.60 per barrel for the day but down 35% over the year. US light crude was 1.2% higher at $37.04 but down 30% for the year.

(Closed): Wall Street finished its final day of 2015 down, marking its worst annual performance in seven years.

Media playback is not supported on this device England only needed a draw to finish top of the group and after a lacklustre first half, Nikita Parris set them on the way to victory after the break. The striker headed home Karen Carney's cross to give England the lead. England dominated thereafter and Carney doubled the visitors' advantage with a strike which took a heavy deflection. Jade Moore won the ball and released Carney who neatly beat one defender on the edge of the box before scoring with a strike which went in via Lorca van de Putte. It was a victory which extended England's unbeaten run to seven matches, with the past five of those ending in victories. The Lionesses last lost a competitive qualifier in November 2002. England had already qualified for next summer's tournament in the Netherlands thanks to the 5-0 thumping of Estonia on 15 September, but England boss Mark Sampson said before the match in Leuven that he was determined his team would end the qualifiers as group leaders. Belgium, the only team to have taken a point off Sampson's side during the campaign, could have finished top of Group 7 had they beaten England, but they never truly came close and must settle for second spot. Neither team impressed in a first half full of stray passes and pedestrian attacks. England's best chance fell to Lucy Bronze, whose long-range effort was a fraction wide from the top corner. Belgium also had an opportunity to break the deadlock and would probably have scored through a Tessa Wullaert in-swinging corner had Jill Scott not headed the danger away. Belgium were organised in defence and for most of the match were quick to close down playmaker Karen Carney whenever she received the ball, reducing her influence in the final third and consequently nullifying England. But on the rare occasions Belgium did give Carney space to pull England's strings, the Chelsea forward was ruthless. First, she floated a lovely cross towards the industrious Parris to score her third international goal and followed up with five minutes remaining with a strike which completely wrong-footed Justien Odeurs thanks to the deflection. Sampson has proved he is not afraid to make changes - tweaking the formation during this campaign and making two changes to the team which beat Estonia, with Siobhan Chamberlain and Gemma Davison replaced by Karen Bardsley and Gilly Flaherty. But it was the introduction of Moore that changed the course of this match, with the midfielder breaking up play and giving the visitors more ballast in midfield. England's Euro 2017 preparations begin in earnest with a friendly against France, a team ranked third in the world, next month in Doncaster.

England beat Belgium in their final match of the Women's Euro 2017 qualifiers, ensuring they finish as Group 7 leaders.

Lorna Waddell, 41, of Kelso, previously admitted obtaining nearly £4,000 by fraud while working for Provident Financial Management Services Ltd. She was given unpaid work as an alternative to custody. Jedburgh Sheriff Court was told she had breached her payback order. Sentence was deferred until 11 July for reports. Waddell got five clients to sign loan applications, saying she would receive the capital and repay the loan instalments, in Kelso between February 2012 and February 2013. However, after receiving the cash no payments were made. She also admitted that while acting as an agent for the same company she embezzled nearly £700 at her home between November 2012 and March 2013.

A financial agent who took thousands of pounds by fraud has breached her community payback order by failing to carry out 180 hours unpaid work.

The 37-year-old midfielder announced his decision after playing the whole match as Greece lost on penalties in the last-16 tie against Costa Rica. "This was my last game for Greece," said Karagounis. Media playback is not supported on this device "We wanted to stay in Brazil another week or even longer but you can't change it now." Karagounis made his international debut in 1999 and amassed a record 139 caps for his country, scoring 10 goals in the process. He helped Greece win Euro 2004 and their progress in Brazil meant they reached the second round of the World Cup for the first time in their history. Karagounis, who was released by Fulham at the end of last season, said he was making way for Greece's next generation of players. "The national team has grown up, younger players have won invaluable experiences," he added. "This is no small thing and as we helped the team come of age we hope it will continue to be as successful in the future." Greece coach Fernando Santos will also leave his post after his contract expired on Monday. Santos was sent to the stands before the penalty shootout took place against Costa Rica and had to watch on television as his side made their exit from the World Cup.

My Brother is a Superhero is focused on Luke - named after Solomons' own son - whose brother Zack is given special powers to help save two universes. Winning Solomons £5,000, the book sees Luke miss out on the powers because he went to the toilet at the wrong time. Solomons previously adapted E Nesbit's Five Children and It for the 2004 film. Eddie Izzard and Kenneth Branagh both appeared in the big screen version. The winners of the best illustrated book and best older fiction categories were also first-time authors. David Litchfield's The Bear and the Piano was named the best illustrated book, while writer and actress Lisa Williamson's The Art of Being Normal won in the best older fiction category. Solomons had been named as the winner of the best younger fiction book before being named as the overall winner of the prize, voted for by booksellers, at a ceremony at Waterstones' Piccadilly bookshop in London. Waterstones children's buyer Florentyna Martin said: "My Brother is a Superhero is that rare thing - a hugely funny book for young readers that is also rip-roaringly exciting. "It is infused with the spirit of larger than life heroes and colourful comic book trivia that enthrals younger readers and delights superhero fans of all ages, yet at its heart is a touching relationship between siblings. "Given the author's background it's no surprise it is hugely cinematic, but it is also full of wonderful writing and so brilliantly plotted that one never knows what to expect next." The book chain's managing director James Daunt added: "The quality of the books on the shortlists this year was exceptional, reflecting the vibrant health of the children's book market. "That our winners were all first books, and each from a flourishing independent publisher, reflects how blessed we are currently by the breadth of creative talent in this country." Litchfield's book is about a bear who teaches himself to play the piano, while Williamson's is focused on LGBT issues and tells the story of two teenagers and their struggle with identity.

Screenwriter David Solomons has won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize with his debut about an 11-year-old boy obsessed with comics.

The 60-year-old Frenchman has been suspended along with Fifa president Sepp Blatter and secretary general Jerome Valcke. They deny wrongdoing. Platini, a Fifa vice-president, is the Football Association's preference to succeed Blatter at Fifa. The French FA wants the Court of Arbitration for Sport to intervene to ensure Platini can stand for election. Fifa's ethics committee began its investigation after the Swiss attorney general opened criminal proceedings against Blatter in September. He is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to Fifa and making a "disloyal payment" to Platini. The ethics committee also opened an inquiry into Platini over the 2m euros (£1.35m) payment, which was made nine years after the former France footballer carried out consultation work for Blatter. Fifa will hold an emergency meeting on 20 October in Zurich to discuss February's presidential election, at which a successor to Blatter will be chosen. Platini, Uefa's president since 2007, has been backed by South America's football confederation following his suspension. Conmebol said he should be regarded as innocent until proven guilty. The French Football Federation is expecting a decision from Fifa's appeal committee within eight days. "The FFF has adopted the principle of an appeal if the decision of the Fifa appeal committee does not go Michel Platini's way," said a FFF spokesman. Blatter, 79, won a fifth consecutive presidential election in May but announced he would be stepping down just days later following the launch of two investigations into Fifa by United States and Swiss authorities. Platini is one of the favourites to replace him and still plans to stand. He has the full backing of Uefa, which is holding an emergency meeting next week.

Uefa chief Michel Platini is appealing after Fifa banned him for 90 days while corruption claims are investigated.

The SFA's performance director has been conducting a review since taking over from Mark Wotte. Across the seven schools involved throughout Scotland, 374 children receive up to 10 hours a week specialised coaching as part of their everyday studies. "There's been a lot of time invested in this project by a lot of people and we're looking at how we continue to improve the programme as we travel through the years," McClair told BBC Scotland. The project is now in its fourth year, with this year's intake of pupils the final one of the initial scheme. McClair will decide in the coming months whether it will continue in its current format once an analysis of how it is working has been concluded. Alternatives could include certificating the programme to award pupils a Higher qualification for completing the course or focusing on a smaller group of children at one single, residential campus rather than the seven schools involved just now. At the very least, the current system will continue until this year's S1 pupils have completed fourth year. Gauging its success thus far is tricky, with the oldest participants still only in S4, but McClair believes there are some good indicators. "I think you can be encouraged by the number of young people who have been in the performance schools who have been in the younger representative squads over the last three-and-a-bit years and the evidence suggests that will continue," he added. "By summertime I think it'll be a half-decent measure of the number of young boys who are being offered the opportunity to go into full-time football, although I believe that's changing a little bit in the sense that it's 16 or 17 that some clubs are looking at taking them in full-time. "The idea's great. Many clubs in England have taken it on board - getting kids in during the day, giving them more opportunities to practise the disciplines involved in football. "The evidence is all there that they're improving quicker than they were previously under a hybrid programme where all the coaching was taking place in the evening or at weekends." The other important gauge of success is academic achievement. Exam results will not be available from the SFA project until this summer, but Graeme High School in Falkirk ran a pilot scheme - of which Craig Sibbald and Celtic youngster Paul McMullan are graduates - that allows for some analysis. "Last year we had a group of 14 or 15 and the vast majority were highly successful, able pupils, one with five Highers, two with four Highers, three with three Highers and a suite of other academic achievements," headteacher Lesley Carroll told BBC Scotland. "Most of them have gone on to professional clubs but they have got a fallback position. They have been some of our top-performing academic pupils too because not only do they have to be elite athlete footballers, they have to have what the SFA would call a growth mindset. "They're not afraid of targets, hard work, commitment, drive and confidence." Indeed, Carroll believes there is an argument the programme helps the performance school students achieve better results in their other subjects, though she admits no "real forensic research has been done into that". But it will be the level of footballing development that determines exactly how McClair and the SFA proceed in terms of their future performance strategy.

Brian McClair says he's "very encouraged" by the work being done in the Scottish Football Association's performance schools as he considers a future strategy for the game.

The Seagulls remain one point ahead of second-placed Newcastle. Tommy Smith's angled shot put the hosts in front before Tomer Hemed rounded the goalkeeper to equalise. Nahki Wells fired into the top corner and Elias Kachunga nodded in to make it 3-1 before half-time, and Lewis Dunk's red card added to Brighton's misery. Centre-back Dunk was sent off for a second yellow card midway through the second half for a lunging challenge on Izzy Brown, having been booked in the first period for a foul on the same player. The Terriers' seventh win in nine league matches keeps them fifth, but they are now just two points behind fourth-placed Leeds, who they play at home on Sunday. Brighton, knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Lincoln five days earlier, were uncharacteristically poor in defence and conceded three goals in a league match for the first time in almost 12 months. The outstanding Rajiv van La Parra had already hit the post before full-back Smith's attempted cross landed back at his feet, and his subsequent shot flew in at the near post. Hemed pounced on a poor back header from Huddersfield's Aaron Mooy to level, but that proved to be the only clear chance they created in the entire 90 minutes. Wells' excellent finish from just inside the box was his 100th goal in English football, and it was the former Bradford forward's shot which goalkeeper David Stockdale palmed into the air for Kachunga to head in Huddersfield's third from close range. After Dunk's dismissal, the fifth of his career, there was still time for Australian midfielder Mooy to strike the upright from long range and Stockdale to tip over a powerful attempt from substitute Kasey Palmer. Huddersfield head coach David Wagner told BBC Radio Leeds: "It was a good one, maybe one of the best this season. We scored three goals and had chances for more, and conceded a sloppy goal which was easy to avoid, but it was very good. "We are fresh and still very hungry and greedy, even when we are humble and we know we're playing against the best team in the division. "We gave ourselves no limits, we try our best and today our best was very good." Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex: "Every now and again you get a real bad one, and that was a real bad one. "We were nowhere near the levels you need to play any game in this division, never mind one as good as Huddersfield, and on their own ground too. "If we put in another performance like this at Brentford on Sunday, we will lose again. We need to be far better. "Lewis Dunk has played the ball but he was already on a yellow and he's given the referee a decision to make. It's another one for him and something he has to learn from. We are going to miss him. It's a blow." Match ends, Huddersfield Town 3, Brighton and Hove Albion 1. Second Half ends, Huddersfield Town 3, Brighton and Hove Albion 1. Attempt saved.

Wales was around 40th out of 68 in the last Pisa international school test results for science, maths and reading released last December. Wales also fell behind the rest of the UK with an average score of 468. Mr Lewis has set a new target score of 500. Conservatives said that amounted to "stagnation" not "aspiration". As a comparison, Scotland scored over 500 points last year, which means that the new target for Wales in 2021 would put it on a par with Scotland in 2013. Mr Lewis had told BBC Wales last December that ditching the target was the easy way out and he did not want to lower pupils' ambitions. On Thursday he insisted the new approach was still ambitious. "This is a better target, I think, because it relates to what teachers can aim for in their classrooms, in their schools, as regards the actual progress of young people," he said. "If we say to a head teacher 'we need to be in the top 20', it's very difficult to translate that into how their 15-year-olds should do at GCSE. "But if we say 'score 500' they can measure their progress towards it." Conservative shadow education minister Angela Burns ridiculed Labour for seeking to "raise Welsh performance from the worst performing UK nation to the second worst by 2021". "This isn't aspiration, but stagnation," she said. "This feeble new target shows a poverty of ambition for young people." But the National Union of Teachers (NUT) said it was "pleased" the minister was taking the "sensible approach". Owen Hathway, of NUT Wales, said: "It was always a little unwise to have created such targets simply for the headlines they drew. "Evaluating the progress of the points scored is a far better and more productive way of measuring progress." Plaid Cymru education spokesman Simon Thomas said he was "glad" Mr Lewis had now "placed more realistic expectations on the teaching profession". However Aled Roberts, who speaks for the Liberal Democrats on education, called on ministers to "make up their minds once and for all about their education strategy or hold up their hands up and admit they don't know how to fix our education system". The new target was announced as part of an education improvement plan launched by Mr Lewis. Qualified for Life sets out the Welsh government's vision for education up to 2020, with the ambition that every learner in Wales should benefit from "excellent teaching and learning". An annual "report card" will show how Welsh education performs against a range of measurable targets.

The target to put Wales into the top 20 best-performing countries in education by next year has been scrapped by Education Minister Huw Lewis.

Kaushik Basu, the former chief economist for the World Bank, says the "collateral damage" is likely to outstrip its benefits. The overnight ban on the notes last week was intended to crack down on corruption and so-called "black money" or illegal cash holdings. But it sparked scenes of chaos outside banks and ATMs. Low-income Indians, traders and ordinary savers who rely on the cash economy have been badly hit with hordes thronging banks to deposit expired money and withdraw lower denominations. As the anger mounted, the government raised limits on cash withdrawals on Sunday. But some economists say the move will have a limited impact as people will simply begin to accumulate black money in the new currency as soon as that becomes available. The government hopes this will bring cash worth billions of dollars in unaccounted wealth back into the economy. The two notes accounted for more than four-fifths of the currency in circulation. Prof Basu, who now teaches at New York's Cornell University, says India's Goods and Services tax, was "good economics, but demonetisation is not". "Its economics is complex and the collateral damage is likely to far outstrip the benefits," he says. What Prof Basu, who was chief economic adviser to the previous Congress government, means is that this "demonetisation" just witnessed in India is at best, a one-time flushing out of the system and the return of black money is likely if not inevitable. Many economists say the costs of such a one-time "flush" will be huge. They say hundreds of thousands of ordinary people (including farmers who do not even have bank accounts) who hold cash but not black money will get caught out and the fear of harassment by officials could trap them in a bureaucratic net they don't know how to deal with. So it is possible that all this achieves is a sudden curtailment in the total money supply, effectively a kind of contraction of the economy. Economists have long talked about "helicopter drop" of currency - printing large sums of money and distributing it to the public in order to stimulate the economy. India's decision to scrap high denomination notes is simply the reverse and according to economist Prabhat Patnaik the government's move "betrays a lack of understanding of capitalism". "Typically, what happens in capitalism in a situation like this is that there would be a new business opening up about how to change old currency notes into new ones... A whole range of people would come up who will say you give us 1000 rupees and we will give you 800 rupees or 700 rupees or whatever. Consequently, instead of curbing black business it will actually give rise to the proliferation of black business," he told The Wire news site. But not all experts agree that it is such a risky move. "India now operates under a monetary policy regime known as inflation targeting. If a portion of the stock of currency in circulation, consisting of currency and demand deposits gets 'burned', metaphorically or literally, the Reserve Bank of India, the central bank, can in principle fully offset this through what economists call 'open market operations'," Vivek Dehejia says. "These involve purchasing bonds from the markets and injecting money (and therefore liquidity) into the markets in return. This is standard operating procedure for central banks." To put it more simply: suppose a warehouse of cash owned by someone goes up in flames and the money stock drops. The central bank, economists say, can augment the money stock. The loser is the individual whose money went up in flames - in other words, by analogy, someone holding illicit unaccounted cash that cannot be converted into new currency or deposited. "There will be short run adjustment costs as the old notes are replaced by new ones, but I see no medium to long term impacts on growth, inflation or other pertinent macroeconomic variables," says Prof Dehejia. "The gains will be a one-time tax on black money and a possible disincentive for future black money accumulation, in the event that there is a prospect for future demonetisations." He, for one, is confident this move will achieve what it needs without damaging the economy.

India's dramatic move to scrap 500 ($7.60) and 1,000 rupee notes is poor economics, a leading economist says.

DR Congo could only draw 1-1 with their rivals in Kinshasa, having drawn the first leg of their qualifier 0-0. It put Congo Brazzaville through on the away-goals ruling. In other shocks South Africa, Mali and Algeria were also eliminated. DR Congo boasted an outstanding record in the previous four tournaments for home-based footballers with two titles and two quarter-finals finishes. They were expected to beat Congo Brazzaville in front of their home fans in Kinshasa and qualify for the 2018 Championship in Kenya next January and February. Jean-Marc Makusu Mundele put the title-holders ahead on 36 minutes only for Jaures Ngombe to equalise just two minutes later. DR Congo needed at least one more goal to survive, but Congo defended bravely to clinch only a second appearance at the 16-team tournament. Severely depleted South Africa contained Zambia for 79 minutes in Ndola before conceding two goals in three minutes to lose the match 2-0 and the tie 4-2 on aggregate. Justin Shonga bagged a brace for Zambia against a South Africa side deprived of many first choice players because clubs refused to release them. Mali, who lost the 2016 final against DR Congo in Kigali, were another shock casualty as they had a man sent off when losing 1-0 at home to Mauritania. Karamoko Traore scored on 38 minutes in Bamako and the hosts were reduced to 10 men before half-time when Boubacar Samassekou was shown the red card with Mauritania advancing 3-2 on aggregate. Nigeria secured a ticket to Kenya by overcoming Benin 2-0 in Kano. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the Nigerians secured their place through goals from Rabiu Ali and Kingsley Eduwo. Ivory Coast, third behind DR Congo and Mali at the 2016 Nations Championship, scored seven minutes into stoppage time to pip Niger for a place at next year's finals. Sanfo Sylla scored the crucial goal to give the Ivorians a 1-0 victory and an away goals victory after the tie ended 2-2. Angola missed a penalty in Luanda before Dany scored the only goal of the tie just past the hour to inflict a first loss in 11 matches on Madagascar. Rwanda staged a brave comeback to defeat Uganda 2-0 in Kigali but failed 3-2 on aggregate, with Cameroon and Sudan also booking places in Kenya. On Friday, Morocco and Libya knocked out Egypt and Algeria respectively as they booked their places at Kenya 2018. Morocco beat Egypt 3-1 in Rabat on Friday to win the tie 4-2 overall. Libya held Algeria to a 1-1 draw in Sfax to go through to the finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory. Despite CHAN matches only featuring locally-based footballers the games have full international status and count toward the monthly Fifa rankings.

The African Nations Championship (CHAN) holders, the Democratic Republic of Congo, failed to qualify for the 2018 finals in Kenya following a shock elimination by Congo Brazzaville.

Tight-head Rae, 22, has committed himself to the Warriors until May 2019, having joined in 2013. Fellow Scot Bhatti, 23, has agreed professional terms with Glasgow for next season. The loose-head has spent most of this season playing for Premiership side Melrose but has featured three times for the Warriors. "It has always been a dream of mine to be a professional rugby player, so I'm really happy to have signed a contract with Glasgow," he told Glasgow's website. Rae previously had spells on loan at London Scottish and Benetton Treviso and has been capped up to Scotland Under-20 level. "Glasgow is my home club and all my family are here and I'm enjoying it," he said. "I want to play well for my club and if I got the opportunity to play for Scotland one day, that would be a bonus." Sixth in the Pro12, Glasgow visit third-placed Ospreys on Sunday.

Props D'arcy Rae and Jamie Bhatti have signed new contracts with Glasgow Warriors.

The victim claims no-one responded when he brought the alleged offences to light. A complaint is being reviewed by the Church of England, his lawyer said. Clergy representatives said they were unable to comment on the claims published in the Guardian as they formed part of an active investigation. The priest said all five men were aware of his claims he had been repeatedly raped by a vicar when he was 16 in 1984, but none of them acted. He said he made the allegations verbally to the Right Reverend Peter Burrows, the Bishop of Doncaster; the Right Reverend Steven Croft, the former Bishop of Sheffield, and now Bishop of Oxford; and the Right Reverend Martyn Snow, a former Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham, and now the Bishop of Leicester, between July 2012 and February 2013. The Archbishop of York John Sentamu and the Right Reverend Glyn Webster, the Bishop of Beverley, were also made aware when they were copied in to a letter sent to the Rt Rev Croft in June 2013, he said. His lawyer, David Greenwood, of Switalskis Solicitors, said the priest finally spoke up after a safeguarding issue in his own parish "triggered his memories". "He reached out for help to the Bishop of Doncaster but found that he got no help, no support and no response," he said. "He continued to try to elicit a response from the senior people in his diocese but got nothing." Under the Church of England's clergy disciplinary measures a complaint must be made within one year of the alleged misconduct. An application for permission to make complaints out of time has been lodged and is being considered by the church. Mr Greenwood said a complaint had also been made to West Yorkshire Police and the details of the alleged misconduct passed to the Goddard Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. A spokesperson for the archbishop said he had only been sent a copy of the letter and the original recipient of the letter had "a duty to respond and not the archbishop". A spokesperson for the bishops said that if the complaint went forward "our bishops will make a full response to the various allegations made in due course". A complaint has also been made by the priest against Roy Williamson, a former bishop of Bradford and now an honorary assistant bishop with the diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, that he failed to act at the time of the abuse. A spokesperson for his diocese said: "We cannot comment during a live investigation except to say that if approached by the authorities we will offer them every co-operation." West Yorkshire Police said it is investigating a report of a historical serious sexual offence said to have occurred in the Bradford area in the 1980s. A force representative said: "A crime has been recorded and a 69-year-old man has been spoken to in connection with the inquiry."

A priest has accused the Archbishop of York and four bishops of misconduct after they "failed to act" on allegations he was raped by a vicar.

Jonathan Forte hit the post for the visitors, who are six points above the bottom four, before Tareiq Holmes-Dennis sent an effort wide. Oldham keeper Joel Coleman saved a David Worrall shot at the other end. Main fired home after the hour mark as he latched on to Forte's pass to seal victory for the Latics. Oldham have a sizeable cushion above the League One relegation places with three games left to play, while Southend remain in 13th place.

It condemned "the misogynist, hateful comments" it said had been made by Mr Trump about women and minorities. It follows the release of a 2005 video last week in which Mr Trump makes remarks about groping women. Mr Trump has apologised for remarks, which he described as as "locker-room talk". He has also denied touching women inappropriately. The motion was filed by Greens party MP Jeremy Buckingham to the Upper House of the NSW parliament. It said: "This house... agrees with those who have described Mr Trump as a 'revolting slug'." "It's clear that all reasonable and decent people find Donald Trump's behaviour obnoxious and that the world is hoping American voters reject his politics of hate," Mr Buckingham said in a statement. Because there was no objection, the motion was recorded as having been agreed to by all of the lawmakers. It was allowed only after the president of the legislative council determined that "revolting slug" did not amount to unparliamentary language. Parliamentary procedure prevents MPs from using "extremely distasteful" words. Who is ahead in the polls? 48% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Last updated October 10, 2016 Australians on social media were critical of the politicians with James Elliot Watson saying on Facebook: "I don't think it's wise for governments to condemn a bloke who they might have to work with as a world leader in future." "What a spectacular waste of time. Glad to see the House discussing the real hot button issues as they relate to NSW," said David Kelley. Others pointed out that Australian politics had its own share of problems. "Why bother for a revolting slug overseas, try looking at our own backyard. Plenty of slugs in Australia," said Bradley Patterson. "Australian politicians need to keep their mouth shut. They are no better because really that is all they are. And slugs is quite generous to describe them," said Katherine Fav. Mr Buckingham has developed a reputation for publicity stunts both inside and outside parliament. He previously 'vaped' an e-cigarette in parliament and set a river in Queensland on fire. Many top Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, have distanced themselves in recent days from the businessman-turned-politician Mr Trump. How does the US election work?

Two Syrian nationals provided first aid to National Democratic Party (NPD) member Stefan Jagsch who was injured in the accident in Hesse state, DPA news agency said. It said the refugees - who happened to be passing at the time - had left by the time police arrived. NPD members have taken part in a series of anti-immigrant marches in Germany. However, regional NPD official Jean Christoph Fiedler praised the two refugees for "a very good, humane act", the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper reported. Germany's constitutional court is currently considering whether to ban the NPD. The federal upper house (Bundesrat) of the parliament took the case to the court, by arguing in a petition that the party is racist and anti-Semitic, and poses a threat to Germany's democratic order. A previous attempt to ban the NPD failed in 2003 because the judges dismissed evidence provided by state agents who had infiltrated the party. The NPD's anti-immigrant stance is part of widespread German anxiety about the influx of non-EU migrants, many of them Muslim Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans fleeing war and human rights abuses.

Born at Alltnacaillich, Strathmore in 1714, Rob Donn could not read or write and dictated his poetry from memory in later life. A wall hanging depicting scenes from his life and work is to be created in a project led by Strathnaver Museum and Mackay Country Community Trust. People living in and around Strathnaver are to be invited to help make the piece of craftwork. Donn's poetry continues to be celebrated and studied today. Some of his work has turned into music and performed at Glasgow's Celtic Connections Festival. Strathnaver Museum has been awarded £5,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund's Stories, Stones and Bones programme towards the project.

The secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club said he originally thought someone had broken into the premises, near Evesham in Worcestershire. The floor was covered in beer and glasses and bottles smashed, Sam Boulter said. Mr Boulter, 62, said he then saw a squirrel "staggering around" after coming out from behind a box of crisps. He added: "There were bottles scattered around, money scattered around and he had obviously run across the bar's pumps and managed to turn on the Caffrey's tap. "He must have flung himself on the handle and drank some as he was staggering around all over the place and moving a bit slowly. "I've never seen a drunk squirrel before. He was sozzled and looked a bit worse for wear, shall we say." Mr Boulter, who estimated he lost about £300 in the incident, eventually caught the squirrel in a waste paper bin and released it out of the window.

A "drunk" squirrel has caused hundreds of pounds of damage at a private members' club.

Mr Farron said political leaders should not "pontificate on theological matters". But he said it had become "an issue" and that he wanted the focus to be on the general election. He has recently been asked repeatedly in media interviews to clarify his views, but had not answered directly. In an interview with BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier, he said he did not "want to get into a series of questions unpicking the theology of the Bible". But he acknowledged it had "become an issue", and did not want people getting the "wrong impression" about his views. "I don't believe that gay sex is a sin," he said. "I take the view though that as a political leader, my job is not to pontificate on theological matters." Mr Farron said that with a general election campaign under way, it was important to be talking about "big issues" like health and social care and Brexit. "I am quite careful about how I talk about my faith. I do not bang on about it, I do not make a secret out of it," he said. "On reflection, it makes sense to actually answer this direct question since it's become an issue." He also said the Lib Dems had "undoubtedly the best record" on gay rights out of all political parties. As well as questions from the media about his views on gay sex, Mr Farron was also asked last week by Conservative MP Nigel Evans in Parliament whether he believed being gay was a sin. "I do not," he replied. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron says he does not believe gay sex is a sin, following questions about his views on the subject.

Gisela Stuart, who chairs the group, said promising to control numbers and then failing to do so was "corrosive" of public trust in politicians. Voting Leave on Thursday was the only way to "take back control" on immigration, she said. Mr Cameron said leaving the EU was "not the right way to control immigration". Meanwhile, a report by think tank Migration Watch, that wants lower immigration, said overall, all migrants - both from the EU and elsewhere - in the UK "continue to be a net fiscal cost" to the Exchequer. It said only recent migrants - who arrived from 2001 - from the old member states of the EU14 had made a "net positive fiscal contribution". "Immigration has not been shown to have any significant impact, either positive or negative, on GDP per capita, a key measure of economic performance. "There is therefore no economic case for mass immigration on the present scale," the report said. Ms Stuart said the UK was an "open and tolerant nation" that had been made "better and stronger" by immigration and should be "proud" about helping refugees. But the Labour MP said the EU's policies were "failing in humanitarian terms". "The tragic scenes unfolding in the Mediterranean underline how badly the European Union is handling population movements and migration pressures," she said. "If we are to maintain public confidence in migration and prevent extremists from dominating the debate, it is essential that elected politicians are accountable for decisions about migration." Ms Stuart said voting to Remain meant there would be "no control" over migration from the EU, "no matter how great the pressure on schools, hospitals and housing becomes or how much wages in our poorest communities are pushed down". She pointed to the fact that in 2015 net migration - the difference between the number of people coming to the UK for at least a year and those leaving - was 333,000, according to the Office for National Statistics. This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe. That figure was the second highest on record, while the figure for EU-only net migration was 184,000 - equalling a record high. Ms Stuart said: "It is clear that it will be impossible to reduce net migration below 100,000 if we vote to stay in the EU. "The prime minister must now make clear that he will abandon this manifesto pledge if he wins the referendum on Thursday. He cannot continue to promise to do something that he knows is impossible. "Inside the EU we don't control our borders and cannot control the movement of people coming here from the EU." Ms Stuart said that by leaving the EU the UK would "take back control" and politicians would have to keep their promises on migration. She said in the past Mr Cameron had ended up dropping promised policies on EU migration - such as EU migrants having to have a job offer to come to in the UK - "because Brussels would not allow them". In a special edition of Question Time, Mr Cameron conceded that controlling immigration was "very challenging" but he said his EU renegotiation would make a "big difference". He said there was "no silver bullet" and that leaving the EU and the single market was "not the right way to control immigration". The PM also said the government would have to put up taxes or cut spending or risk "going back to square one" if the UK voted to leave. If the UK votes to leave, he said: "That's it, we are walking out the door, we are quitting - we are giving up on this organisation." "I do not think Britain, at the end, is a quitter," he added. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he wanted to see UK immigration come down to "post war" levels of between 30,000 and 50,000 people a year. "At the moment, we have no control. A British passport is an EU passport, open to 500 million people," he said, but added that it would be up to Parliament to set the level. Immigration has been a key battleground in the referendum campaign ahead of the vote on EU membership on 23 June. On Sunday Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who supports Remain, told the BBC there could be no upper limit on the number of people coming into the UK while there is free movement of labour in the EU. Pro-Leave Michael Gove said people wanted to feel numbers were controlled. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson, another leading Leave campaigner, said that without border controls, "the substantial flows of migration.. show no sign of diminishing". Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Johnson said that by leaving the EU the UK would "take back control" of £10.6bn net per year, which he said would enable the country to "take back control of our borders, and install an Australian-style points-based system that is fair both to people coming from the EU and from non-EU countries". Mr Johnson urged voters to "change the whole course of European history" by voting to leave, which he said would be "overwhelmingly positive". "Now is the time to believe in ourselves, and in what Britain can do, and to remember that we always do best when we believe in ourselves," he added.

David Cameron's "impossible" pledge to reduce net migration to below 100,000 must be abandoned if he wins the referendum, Vote Leave has said.

Thames Valley Police made the discovery after being called to the property in Iffley Road at 14:58 BST. They are treating the death as "unexplained".

They believe ministers are placing too much emphasis on the environment at the expense of trees grown for timber. Britain is currently the world's third largest importer of wood. Ministers said they were encouraging commercial forestry organisations to invest in woodland creation. Conifer forests have been a familiar sight for half a century in Wales and have helped the timber industry grow. But Confor, which promotes the forestry industry, warns that at least 16,000 hectares - or 40,000 acres - of commercial forest have been lost since 2001 and need to be re-planted to meet needs. Half of the woodland is managed by Natural Resources Wales with the the other half by private companies. As an industry, it is estimated to be worth more than £450m a year to the Welsh economy. But there is a conflict with environmental policy. Successive ministers have wanted more native, broadleaf species of trees and better access for walkers and bike riders while conservationists claim commercial forests are bad for wildlife. However, some forests in Wales are difficult to reach and hard to harvest while transporting the timber through rural communities can bring companies into conflict with local residents. The Welsh government wants a balance between the environmental, the economic and the social in how forestry is developed. It points to its Glastir scheme which encourages farmers and other landowners to plant woodland. It said its Woodlands for Wales forestry strategy "sets out how we want Wales to be known for its high quality woodlands that enhance the landscape, provide real social and community benefits, support thriving woodland-based industries and contribute to a better quality environment". Martin Bishop, of Confor, which represents 200 businesses in Wales, believes the emphasis on environmental aspects is seen as "sexier" than commercial forestry. He said the current system is also too bureaucratic for creating new woodland areas. Mr Bishop said 90 hectares were planted last year but there needed to be 20,000 hectares a year to meet long-term targets set by ministers. "There's a huge market for our timber. Every saw miller tells me he would double or treble production if the timber was there to feed that mill," he added.

Woodland bigger than the size of Cardiff needs to be re-planted in Wales to make up for commercial forestry lost over the past 15 years, industry experts have warned.

Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is two-time world darts champion Adrian 'Jackpot' Lewis. Lewis, who won the PDC title in 2011 and 2012, will be taking part in the new Champions League of Darts competition, which will be shown on BBC Sport in September. He is a Stoke City fan, and went to his first game at the age of six at the Potters' former home, the Victoria Ground. "My granddad took me and he told me we were going conker picking," Lewis said. "I just remember walking there and seeing everyone wearing the same shirt. "My favourite Stoke player when I was growing up was Paul Peschisolido - I named my goldfish 'Peschi' after him. Now we've got the likes of Bojan Krkic and Xherdan Shaqiri, which shows how far we have come as a club. "If you asked me about how this season has gone for us a month ago, I would have said 'brilliant' but the last four games have not gone to plan. Hopefully we can do a bit better this week." You can hear more of Lewis' tales of following the Potters on Football Focus at 12:10 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Fatima Elomar, 31, was intercepted at Sydney Airport in May last year as she tried to board an international flight. Cash, camouflage gear and medical supplies were found in her luggage. In a brief court appearance, she pleaded guilty to supporting incursions into a foreign state with the intention of engaging in hostile activities. Mohamed Elomar travelled to Syria and then Iraq in 2013 to fight with so-called Islamic State (IS). Court documents reportedly detail text messages between the couple in which Ms Elomar begs her husband to return home for medical treatment after being shot. Mr Elomar reportedly told his wife to prepare the children's passports so they could be together in Raqqa, Syria. Mr Elomar, and fellow Australian Khaled Sharrouf came to public attention last year after they posted pictures of themselves posing with severed heads to social media. One of those images showed Sharrouf's seven-year-old son holding up the severed head of a Syrian soldier. It is believed Elomar died in June during an air strike on a convoy of vehicles near IS's self-declared capital of Raqqa. The Australian government estimated in September that around 120 Australians were currently in Iraq and Syria to support IS and other terror groups.

The wife of one of Australia's most notorious extremists, Mohamed Elomar, has pleaded guilty to supporting overseas terrorism.
