The Chairboys, searching for their first league victory since 13 August, showed promise in a quiet opening period to the game with Michael Harriman's free-kick producing an excellent save from Jamie Jones. The hosts then went close again with Southwell failing to convert a gilt-edged chance on the stroke of half-time. Southwell however went from villain to hero moments later as the forward tapped home Sam Wood's cross in the third minute of first-half stoppage time. Both sides upped the tempo in the second half and a strong midfield battle ensued, but the Chairboys were able to resist Stevenage with Andrew Fox spurning the best opportunity for the visitors. Indeed, though the Boro dominated the latter stages of the game, a barrage of long balls came to nothing as the home side saw the game out to record their second league victory of the season.

The IXV resembles a smaller, robotically controlled version of the US space shuttle, and could provide Europe with a re-useable orbital transportation system of its own It blasted off on a Vega rocket from South America just after 13:40 GMT. The test data could also inform future Mars landing technologies. The demonstrator flew east around the globe, before coming down in the water west of the Galapagos Islands at about 15:20 GMT. The wedge-shaped IXV (Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle) was designed to gather information on how space objects fall back to Earth. Commenting on the flight, Esa director-general Jean-Jacques Dordain said: "It couldn't have gone better. "But the mission itself is not over because now it is necessary to analyse all the data gathered during the flight." At the time the craft re-entered the atmosphere, it was moving at 7.5km/s. As it pushed against the air, the temperatures on its leading surfaces would have soared to 1,700C. Flaps and thrusters controlled the trajectory, ensuring the IXV came down close to a recovery ship. A parachute system deployed in the very late stages of the flight and put the two-tonne vehicle gently in the ocean. Floatation balloons came out to stop it from sinking. Europe's expertise on re-entry technologies is more limited than, say, the US's or Russia's - something it wants to change with the help of the IXV. Esa's project manager Giorgio Tumino told BBC News: "Europe is excellent at going to orbit; we have all the launchers, for example. We also have great knowhow in operating complex systems in orbit. But where we are a bit behind is in the knowledge of how to come back from orbit. "So, if we are to close the circle - go to orbit, stay in orbit, come back from orbit - we need to master this third leg as well as other spacefaring nations." Esa has already approved a follow-on spacecraft, called Pride, which looks very similar in design to the X-37B, a robotic craft operated by the American military. No-one is quite sure what missions are flown by the X-37B, but they are likely to include the early testing of new technologies for future satellites. This could be a role also for Europe's Pride vehicle. In-orbit servicing of satellites is a capability often discussed in this context as well. Esa nations will meet shortly to define these roles. "We need still to agree with all the member states all the different types of operations in orbit. But whatever the payload, it will always be in the perimeter space of civilian applications," stresses Mr Tumino.

Summary: A prototype for a versatile mini-spaceplane has successfully completed its first test flight, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.


The Garfield Weston Foundation made the award to the Mackintosh Campus Appeal, which aims to raise £32m. The Mackintosh building was badly damaged by fire on 23 May 2014. Contractors who are restoring the iconic Grade A-listed art nouveau building hope to have completed their work by the end of February 2019. Philippa Charles, director of the Garfield Weston Foundation, said: "The Garfield Weston Foundation supports organisations and activities that share a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of the communities in which they work, and that are driven by a desire to achieve excellence. "The Glasgow School of Art sits at the heart of the Garnethill community and the people of Glasgow hold the Mackintosh building dear. "We are delighted to be able to support the Mackintosh Campus Appeal which will enable the GSA to bring this iconic building back as part an extended campus and enable the internationally-renowned Glasgow School of Art to recover fully from the impact of the fire." The art school announced earlier this year plans to purchase the former Stow College building in nearby West Campbell Street for its expanded Garnethill campus. The aim is to provide additional space to accommodate a 25% increase in student numbers by 2018. News of the £500,000 donation emerged as the Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell, prepared to host an event for the Mackintosh Campus Project at Dover House in London. Mr Mundell said: "It is a real pleasure to host tonight's fundraising event for the Mackintosh Campus, and to support the rebuilding of an iconic British institution which has produced so many leading architects, designers and artists." Professor Tom Inns, director of GSA, added: "It is an important opportunity for us to share our ambitious plans for the campus redevelopment, including bringing together all pathways of the School of Fine Art for the first time in many years in a refurbished Stow Building, and to give an update on the restoration of the Mackintosh Building." After the Mackintosh building blaze, an investigation by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service concluded it was caused by flammable gases from a canister of expanding foam. The report said the gases ignited as they came into contact with the hot surface of a projector.

Summary: A charity has donated £500,000 to help Glasgow School of Art (GSA) expand its Garnethill campus and repair the fire-damaged Mackintosh building.


Bromyard Community Hospital in Herefordshire is drafting in help from the Philippines and Europe to bridge the 80-post gap. It comes after staff agreed to work extra hours to save the in-patient ward from closure. But The Wye Valley NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, said this was a temporary measure. Paul Hooton, the hospital's deputy director of nursing, said: "We are very pleased with our staff and how they have stepped up and said they could do extra to help us to keep in-patients open. "But we have to review it on an ongoing basis to make sure that we can ultimately deliver safe inpatient care." "We have a major recruitment campaign going on locally to try and attract nurses living within our local community back into nursing." Its recruitment advert said it was looking for newly-qualified nurses and people who had left the profession. Mr Hooton added: "To put it into context, we are not the only trust in the country that is desperate to recruit nurses - this is a national problem."

Summary: Hospital bosses say they will continue to hire foreign workers to try and solve a "desperate" shortage of nurses.


Vicky Cherry, 44, had been missing for 15 months when police found her body wrapped in a duvet and plastic sheeting at a house in Toronto Street, Bolton, in January. Andrew Reade, 43, admitted preventing the lawful burial of a body and perverting the course of justice. He was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court to four years and four months in jail. Miss Cherry's cause of death could not be ascertained because of heavy decomposition but a pathologist concluded she may have died as a result of strangulation, as injuries to her neck were detected. Sentencing Reade, Judge Timothy Clayson said the defendant could not be held responsible for Miss Cherry's death but what followed was "inexcusable". Officers had launched a "non-body" murder investigation because Miss Cherry, from Fulwood, Lancashire had not been seen since October 2015. Reade, of Toronto Street, Bolton, told her family they had split up and she had moved to Blackburn. However, police discovered that her unemployment benefits were still being withdrawn in Bolton. When officers arrested Reade on suspicion of murder, he claimed he had panicked upon waking to find his girlfriend dead after they had binged on a cocktail of drugs. The 43-year-old admitted hiding her body and lying to her family and police. He also admitted taking her benefits for several months after her death. In a victim statement to the court, Miss Cherry's daughter said: "Reade has held her body in a cupboard with things on top of her like she was a piece of rubbish. "I will never forgive Reade. Reade himself is the only person who truly knows what happened to my mother. We will be forever tormented by this." Nick Ross, defending, said his client, a long-standing user of Class A drugs, had exercised "very poor judgment" after grief and panic had set in following Miss Cherry's death. "He wishes he could turn the clock back," he said. Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said: "Reade's deliberately deceptive and misleading actions seriously obstructed the investigation into how Vicky died and cost us valuable opportunities to investigate."

Summary: A man who hid his dead girlfriend's body in an airing cupboard for more than a year has been jailed.


Saints' 3-0 reverse at Everton on Monday completed a difficult Christmas period for Claude Puel's side. But Stephens, who made his Premier League debut at Goodison Park, believes a change of form is on the cards. "We just need that little bit of extra luck, or extra quality to go 1-0 up," he told BBC Radio Solent. "These things happen and we'll bounce back." Stephens, 22, found himself introduced in the sixth minute at Everton, when injury forced Cedric Soares off. "I enjoyed playing the game," he said. "But at the end of the day, I want to win and being on the end of a 3-0 defeat isn't good. "We'll pick ourselves up and work hard and I'm sure it will turn round. I don't think there's too much wrong, it's not a disaster and it's not time to panic."

Summary: Southampton defender Jack Stephens has insisted it is "not the time to panic" despite their third defeat in six days.


They say the parts, possibly from a Buk surface-to-air system, are "of particular interest" and could help show who was behind the crash. But they say they have not proved their "causal connection" with the crash. MH17 crashed on land held by Russian-backed rebels in July 2014, killing all 298 on board. There were 283 passengers, including 80 children, and 15 crew members on the Malaysian Airlines airliner. About two-thirds of those who died were Dutch nationals, with dozens of Malaysians and Australians among the rest. Ukraine and many Western countries have accused pro-Russian rebels of shooting down the plane, saying they could have used a Buk missile system supplied by Russia. Russia and the rebels deny any responsibility and say the Ukrainian military was to blame. How a missile could have brought down MH17 MH17: What we know A tale of two sisters and flight MH17 Air disaster that touched a nation The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) said in a joint statement with the Dutch Safety Board that the parts had been "secured during a previous recovery mission in eastern Ukraine". "The parts are of particular interest to the criminal investigation as they can possibly provide more information about who was involved in the crash of MH17. For that reason the JIT further investigates the origin of these parts," the statement said. Fred Westerbeke, a spokesman for the Dutch Prosecutor's Office, said that seven fragments had been found which were definitely not part of the aircraft, and further investigations had shown that they were probably from a missile system. "We are going to need more investigation to really find out what exactly this is and if it is part of a possible system that took down MH17," he added. "If we can establish that, then we can say that it is a breakthrough." The Dutch safety board is characteristically cautious. For now it is insisting that no causal connection can be established between the discovered parts and the crash. The aircraft is widely believed to have been downed by a surface-to-air missile. Indeed the investigators' preliminary report - released last September - noted that the damage to the aircraft's fuselage and cockpit indicated impacts from a large number of high-energy objects from outside the aircraft; consistent with an engagement by a Buk-type missile. The crucial question remains who fired the weapon - Russian-backed separatists or even the Russian military itself? The Ukrainians also operate a variant of the Buk system. The missile parts could be a help here but satellite intelligence may provide more of the picture. Independent investigators have already established a video trail which appears to place a Buk launcher in the crash area on the day in question. The investigators would now enlist the help of weapons experts and forensic specialists to examine the parts, the statement added. The JIT comprises representatives of the Netherlands, Ukraine, Belgium, Malaysia and Australia. They are meeting in The Hague to discuss a draft report on the causes of the crash, the final version of which is expected to be published by

Summary: Fragments of a suspected Russian missile system have been found at the Flight MH17 crash site in Ukraine, investigators in the Netherlands say.


Bomb disposal officers were sent to Birmingham's Lee Bank area on Friday and nearby roads were closed and cordoned off. The men, two aged 32 and 37 were arrested in Stoke-on-Trent and three others, aged 18, 24 and 28, were arrested in Birmingham. Magistrates granted police a further seven days to question the men. Detectives from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit appeared before London's Westminster Magistrates' Court via video link on Saturday to submit their request for a warrant of further detention, a spokesman said. The men were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Ch Supt Sue Southern, from West Midlands Police, said: "The arrests of the five men were intelligence led and our investigation continues at full pace." A number of properties in the Stoke and Birmingham areas have been searched as part of the investigation. The BBC understands the force was dealing with two suspect devices that were found at a business in Lee Bank on Friday.

Summary: Police have been given more time to question five men arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.


The 24-year-old was under contract with the Stags, but Marcus Bignot's side have reached an agreement to bring him in on a free transfer. He spent the first half of the season on loan at Crawley, scoring three goals in 23 appearances. The ex-Burton player will officially join on 1 January and becomes Bignot's first signing for the Mariners.

Summary: Grimsby have signed striker Adi Yussuf on an 18-month deal from fellow League Two side Mansfield.


League of Gentleman star Steve Pemberton will adapt EF Benson's novels about two ladies who vie for social prestige in small-town England. The characters were previously played by Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwan in a Channel 4 series in 1985. Richardson, who will play Elizabeth Mapp, said: "I cannot wait to get my teeth into Mapp, and of course, Lucia." "I am so looking forward to a summer of hard work and I hope, great fun," said the Parade's End star. Chancellor - whose recent TV credits include Fleming and The Hour - said she was "thrilled to be playing the glorious Lucia". "I hope I can do justice to EF Benson's wonderful creations," she added The comic drama, set in the 1930s, focuses on the snobberies and pretensions of life in the quaint English town of Tilling - and the rivalry which ensues between the visiting Mrs Emmeline Lucas (Lucia) and Tilling socialite Elizabeth Mapp. "I feel sure viewers will relish their time in Tilling, and will enjoy watching the slyly scheming Mapp take on the gloriously haughty Lucia in a dizzying round of bitter bridge parties, devious dinners and malicious musical evenings," said screenwriter Pemberton. Pemberton - who is currently starring in BBC One drama Happy Valley - described himself as a "long-time fan" of Benson's six "deplorably funny novels". "But be warned," he added "this is no jolly period romp. This is a series about a war. May the worst-behaved woman win." Mark Gatiss, Pemberton's League of Gentleman co-star, will join the cast as Major Benjy in the three hour-long films. No transmission date has been announced.

Summary: Miranda Richardson and Anna Chancellor will take the lead roles in a new BBC One adaptation of Mapp And Lucia.


The Celtic captain was unable to exert his influence as Rangers reached the Scottish Cup final on penalties. "I would look at Andy Halliday," said Ferguson when considering the key moments. "I thought he was exceptional. "Scott Brown is a fiery character and I think Andy met fire with fire and he matched him in that department." Brown missed an excellent first-half chance before Rangers went ahead and the Celtic skipper was also unsuccessful from the spot in the shoot-out after the match finished 2-2 at the end of extra-time. "I think Andy's quality on the day outshone Scott and he is getting a lot of stick," Ferguson told BBC Scotland. "He is the captain, you expect him to play. Whether he had an off day or not, I think probably Scott's role in the team is to get other players playing, but unfortunately for himself he didn't play particularly well. "But there were reasons for that and the reasons were Andy Halliday." Rangers were ahead twice, first through Kenny Miller and then from a stunning strike from winger Barrie McKay, who was voted the sponsor's man of the match. Erik Sviatchenko and later Tom Rogic levelled for Celtic. However, it was 24-year-old former Livingston, Middlesbrough and Bradford City midfielder Halliday who caught Ferguson's eye most. "Barrie McKay is getting a lot of plaudits - it was a wonderful goal - but for me, in that engine room, it was Andy Halliday," said Ferguson. "I thought he was phenomenal. A lot of people are making remarks about how much he was like my brother, Barry. "He is a Rangers man and you could see that throughout the game. "He played with a lot of aggression - but a lot of quality - and he drove Rangers on." Rangers have already won the Championship title and promotion, but Ferguson thought that manager Mark Warbuton would need to strengthen his squad during the summer in order to compete with Celtic in the top flight. "I think he's got a great philosophy in terms of the way he wants to play and, if he can add some quality players to that philosophy, I think Rangers could be a force next season," he said. Ferguson's fellow former Rangers midfielder, Stuart McCall, who had a spell as manager last season, agreed. "Obviously, Celtic will look to their side and look to strengthen, Rangers will be strengthening and maybe Hearts and Aberdeen too," he said. "All in all, it will be a fantastic Premiership next season and there will be teams who will think they can go ahead, but there is a long way to go. "Celtic will look back at chances that went begging and they hit the woodwork a couple of times, but I think Rangers can look forward now to a very good end to the season."

Summary: Andy Halliday's domination of Scott Brown in midfield was the key to Rangers' victory over Celtic, according to former Ibrox player Derek Ferguson.


The English League One club are looking to replace Luke Williams who left the Wiltshire outfit last week after they were relegated. Archibald has impressed The Robins owner/chairman Lee Power in guiding Thistle to a top six finish in the Premiership this season. Partick Thistle say they have yet to receive an approach. Archibald was approached by Shrewsbury in October but decided he had "unfinished business" with Thistle. The 39-year-old is the longest-serving manager in Scotland's top flight and was in the four-man shortlist for the PFA Scotland manager of the year, won by Celtic's Brendan Rodgers. Other names, who have been linked with the Swindon vacancy but appear to be out of the running, are the former Queens Park Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselabaink and Mansfield Town manager Stevie Evans.

Summary: Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald is on a shortlist of candidates for the Swindon Town vacancy.


Michael Schumacher (91) and Alain Prost (51) are the two other men to rack up a half-century of victories. Germany's Schumacher and Frenchman Prost won 11 world titles between them, putting three-time champion Hamilton in rarefied company. BBC Sport takes a look at the key stats behind Hamilton's race wins, and picks out five of his best victories. Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1 career is one of many illustrations of the problems with using statistics alone to define a driver's "greatness". In the first seven years of Hamilton's career, he amassed 22 wins; three years on and he has just taken his 50th. The exponential increase in ratio owing to nothing other than being comfortably the faster driver in the only car capable of winning. Is Hamilton three times better as a driver now than he was in 2013? Of course not, any more than Michael Schumacher (91 wins) was more than twice as good as Ayrton Senna (41). This, though, is not to say that Hamilton is not an all-time great driver - that, he undoubtedly is. His biggest strength is his blistering speed, founded on an incredible feel for a car on the limits of adhesion during the braking phase for a corner. Jenson Button had it right when he said Hamilton is "one of the fastest drivers there has ever been". His raw pace is right up there with the very best. Senna, Jim Clark, Juan Manuel Fangio - he's that good. All drivers have their flaws and Hamilton is no exception - he has bizarrely off-form days; he is not as rounded a talent as some, or as complete. But is there a faster driver with more natural talent in F1 today? Almost certainly not. Andrew Benson, chief F1 writer Good though win number 50 was, numbers alone don't accurately reflect the career of Lewis Hamilton. When the Englishman is on form, as he was in Austin on Sunday, he's sublime and his wins take on greater significance than a mere pot in his trophy cabinet. He told us on Radio 5 live that F1 is a perennial search for perfection, and just occasionally he achieves it. Think Silverstone 2008, Monaco '08, Turkey '10; all of them awe-inspiring performances. Peaks such as these are so high that he's unable to repeat them at every race, but he should remembered as much for them as for mere statistics.

Summary: Lewis Hamilton has made more Formula 1 history as his victory in the United States gives him his 50th race win - a figure reached by only two other drivers.

Harold Jellicoe Percival, who was known as Coe, served as ground crew on the famous Dambusters raids carried out in May 1943 by 617 Squadron. Mr Percival, who died last month aged 99, never married or had children. The funeral home organising the service put an advert in a newspaper appealing for people to attend. The Reverend Alan Clark, who conducted the service, said: "We marvel at the power of the printed word, whether on paper or screen." Mr Percival's nephew, Andrew Colyer-Worrsall, said the attendance was "just remarkable". "He was a quiet man, he was an ordinary man who did his duty and served in the war and to see so many people turn up, it's just overwhelming," he said. "I can only say thank you so much to everybody. "We thought there would just be two or three of us, so to see this many hundreds of people turn up is stunning." Mr Percival, who lived in Penge, south London, before joining Bomber Command, died in Alistre Lodge Nursing Home in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire. Nursing home manager Lorraine Holt told BBC News she had been inundated with responses from people after the advert was reposted on social media sites. "Late last night, we had a call from a soldier on leave from Afghanistan who said he wanted to attend. "Then an 80-year-old lady from London who served in the RAF called us to say she was attending. "The response has been absolutely incredible." The RAF Association Leyland branch, said they had also helped to ensure Mr Percival's funeral on Monday was well attended. By Steve BeckerBBC Radio Lancashire reporter Harold Percival was, by all accounts, something of a loner, with no close family or friends. Yet hundreds of people attended Lytham Crematorium to pay their respects, as a testimony to the power of remembrance and social networking. With the service taking place on Armistice Day, it became a particularly poignant event, drawing armed forces personnel, charities and many members of the public. In fact, before the Last Post was played, a spontaneous round of applause broke out as his coffin was taken from the hearse. We'll never know the answer to the question posed by many people at the service: what would this quiet man have made of his send off? But most suspected he'd have been secretly pleased and proud. The association's standard bearer Stuart Dagger said: "We are saying goodbye to a hero." The Dambusters March played as Mr Percival's coffin was carried into Lytham Park Crematorium at 11:00 GMT on Armistice Day. A two-minute silence was observed around the coffin to mark the anniversary of the World War One armistice before it was carried into the crematorium. About 100 people were inside with another 400 standing silently outside in the rain. Relatives of Mr Percival thanked those who attended and who spread the word saying "We are overwhelmed. This shows how great the British public are." Mr Percival's nephew, David Worsell, who could not attend the funeral, said: "He was a private man. "He worked

Summary: Hundreds of people from across the UK have attended the funeral in Lancashire of a World War Two veteran they never knew.


The men, aged 36 and 37, were arrested on Monday in the Rotherham area. South Yorkshire Police said the arrests were part of an investigation into allegations of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham. Three men, aged 35, 38 and 39, arrested in Goole, East Yorkshire, in November as part of the same inquiry remain on bail.

Summary: Two men arrested on suspicion of sexual offences against underage girls between 1994 and 2003 have been bailed.


A judge has instructed lawyers to take eight weeks to work out disagreements over money and property, including clothes, photographs and movie awards. Widow Susan Schneider Williams wants the contents of her home to be excluded from items left to his three children. They were married for five years until the actor's suicide in August 2014. Schneider Williams filed court papers in December claiming some of her husband's personal items had been taken from the home they shared in Tiburon, California. without her permission. However his daughter Zelda Williams said in a post on the blogging site Tumblr that she and brothers Zachary and Cody - Williams' children from previous marriages - had not visited the address since their father's death or removed anything from it. Schneider Williams is seeking items including the tuxedo her husband wore to their 2011 wedding and art and furniture that were wedding gifts. There is also a dispute over allowances to maintain the house, where she still lives. Other items under discussion include clothing, watches, photos taken prior to Williams' marriage and memorabilia - including his 1998 Oscar for Good Will Hunting. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng told lawyers for both sides to meet before 10 April and enlist the help of a mediator if necessary before returning to court on 1 June. One of the trustees for the estate, Andrew A Bassak, told the judge that the comedian had decided to establish trusts for his heirs and had never meant for a list of possessions to be debated over in public. Schneider Williams' attorney, James Wagstaffe, told the judge: "We're amicable and no one is raising their voices. It's just that there are 1,200 items on a long spreadsheet which we saw in final form only last week." Outside court Wagstaffe told reporters: "Robin Williams didn't mean for the house to be gutted, furniture removed and art taken off the walls. "This is a normal process and there's nothing unusual about this. If the estate is a lake, what Susan is seeking is a bucket." Williams' children said Schneider Williams was "adding insult to a terrible injury" by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of items that their father clearly intended them to have. "This has dragged on so long," their lawyer Meredith Bushnell told the judge. "It's been eight long months since his passing. We'd like to see this wrapped up as soon as possible so they can move on with their lives and continue the grieving process."

Summary: The wife and adult children of late actor Robin Williams have agreed to meet outside of court to try and resolve a dispute over his belongings.


The Russian government expects a 0.8% decline in GDP next year, compared with 0.6% GDP growth in 2014 as a whole. The rouble fell to a rate of 57 to the dollar on Monday, a fall of more than 6%, after some gains last week. Russia's economy, heavily reliant on energy exports, has been hit by the oil price slump and Western sanctions. The sanctions, imposed because of Russian support for separatists in eastern Ukraine, target the oil and gas industries as well as banks, arms manufacturers and the wealthy elite close to President Vladimir Putin. Russia blocked most imported Western food in retaliation for the measures. The rouble has lost half its value against the dollar this year. The Russian ministry for economic development said the manufacturing, construction, agriculture and service sectors all contracted in November. Energy, mining and the retail trade showed continued growth. President Putin signed a law on Monday doubling the deposit guarantee for bank accounts, to 1.4m roubles (Â£16,290; $25,370). The last time Russia suffered a major economic crisis, in 1998, many ordinary Russians saw their bank savings wiped out. Mr Putin has also given the Russian central bank the power to recapitalise the country's biggest retail bank, Sberbank, directly with soft loans. The total must not exceed Sberbank's capital as measured on 1 January 2015. The "subordinated debt" issued by the central bank, if Sberbank needs it, will not have to be repaid until other loans have been paid off. It is a cushion in case Sberbank gets into financial difficulty. Other banks can be recapitalised by the central bank through Russia's deposit guarantee agency, using federal government bonds.

Summary: The Russian economy contracted by 0.5% in November, the first fall in national output - Gross Domestic Product - since October 2009, official figures show.


Media playback is not supported on this device England lost three wickets before tea but Moeen made a 93-ball 84 to help his side declare on 490-8, a lead of 321. Joe Root (72), Dawid Malan (61), Ben Stokes (58) and Chris Woakes (61 not out) also helped England, who started the day just two ahead, take control. West Indies' openers survived a six-over spell to reach 5-0 at the close. That leaves the tourists needing an unlikely 317 runs for victory, despite them dominating the first three days at Headingley. England, who lead the three-match series 1-0, trailed by 169 after the first innings but have moved into a position from which they need 10 wickets on the final day to win. It would be only the 20th time in Test history a team has won having conceded a first-innings lead of 150 or more. Media playback is not supported on this device With Stokes and Malan at the crease, England were cruising in the afternoon session, but three quick wickets for spinner Roston Chase put the match back in balance. Stokes was caught at long-off from the first ball after a drinks break, Malan was bowled two overs later, and Jonny Bairstow followed soon after as he was bowled playing a reverse sweep. That brought Moeen and Woakes together, and they survived until tea, when England were seven wickets down with a lead of 188. At that point the match could have gone either way, but it was England who took control as they added 133 in just 28 overs. Moeen was his typical attacking self, hitting a series of flowing boundaries through the off side in a 117-run partnership. Woakes contributed just 31 to that stand but was the perfect foil for Moeen, and took the upper hand alongside Stuart Broad when Moeen was caught in the deep. Shortly after Woakes became the sixth player to score a half-century in the innings, Root boldly declared, his side having reached their highest ever score without a player hitting a century. Having missed chances earlier in the day, West Indies were run ragged, but could at least take solace from surviving overs from James Anderson, Broad and Moeen before the close. Malan started the day alongside Root, with questions still to be answered over his place in the side in the build-up to this winter's Ashes. He was by no means fluent in his five-hour innings, hitting just seven fours in 186 balls, but battled and scrapped his way to a second Test half-century. It was his slowest first-class fifty but allowed Root, Stokes and Moeen to express themselves as they hit 15, 10 and 14 boundaries respectively. "Malan tired out the bowlers," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott. "West Indies bowled at him for so long that later in the day they bowled off line and then the middle order kill you, they just give it a whack. "He was gritty, determined and sewed up one end so West Indies couldn't get early wickets." England have long been looking for

Summary: Moeen Ali's fine counter-attacking innings laid the foundation for England to push for a final-day victory in the second Test against West Indies.


The London derby will kick off at 17:15 BST on Saturday, 22 April. Spurs are one of only four clubs to beat Premier League leaders Chelsea this season - a 2-0 victory in January. The second Wembley semi-final between Arsenal and Manchester City, which will kick off at 15:00 BST on Sunday, 23 April, will be shown on BT Sport, with highlights later on BBC One. Tottenham won the 1967 FA Cup with a 2-1 win over Chelsea, while the Blues beat Spurs 5-1 in a semi-final at the new stadium on their way to winning the competition in 2012. It is the third meeting between the sides the season - Chelsea won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in November - and Spurs will hope to have striker Harry Kane back from an ankle injury. Football Focus will come live from Wembley on the Saturday as part of the build-up to the semi-final. Chelsea beat holders Manchester United 1-0 on Monday to reach the semi-finals, a day after Tottenham thrashed League One side Millwall 6-0 in their quarter-final.

Summary: The FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Tottenham at Wembley Stadium will be broadcast live on BBC One.


The 24-year-old from Runcorn became Britain's first champion in the event's 17-year history with last year's win. After taking gold in the season-opener in Switzerland, Coxsey reversed the outcome from the last event in China by pipping Janja Garnbret to gold. Coxsey leads the Slovenian in the overall rankings, with four more events to take place before August. Japan's Miho Nonaka claimed bronze, with Britain's Michaela Tracey 11th. Sport climbing - which includes bouldering - is one of five new sports confirmed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The Hangzhou Internet Court opened on Friday and heard its first case - a copyright infringement dispute between an online writer and a web company. Legal agents in Hangzhou and Beijing accessed the court via their computers and the trial lasted 20 minutes. The court's focus will be civil cases, including online shopping disputes. Judges were sworn in and the first case was presented on a large screen in the courtroom. Defendants and plaintiffs appear before the judge not in person, but via video-chat. "The internet court breaks geographic boundaries and greatly saves time in traditional hearings," said Wang Jiangqiao, the court's vice-president, via state media. In 2016, China began streaming some trials in more traditional courtrooms online in an apparent effort to boost the transparency of the legal system. Some questioned the move, however. "I don't think it's appropriate to broadcast trials online because many people involved in these cases probably don't want the public to share their personal information," human rights lawyer Liang Xiaojun told the BBC at the time. In some other countries, online portals to allow people to resolve legal disputes in cyber-space already exist. Canada's Civil Resolution Tribunal starting accepting claims for $5,000 (Â£3,000) or less in British Columbia in June.

Summary: China has launched a digital "cyber-court" to help deal with a rise in the number of internet-related claims, according to state media.


The men entered the Post Office in Quarrywood Avenue, in the Barmulloch area, at 07:55 on Friday. They threatened a member of staff with a knife and demanded money before escaping with the cash. The 27-year-old worker was said by police to have been badly shaken but otherwise unharmed by the ordeal. Both suspects are white, and one of them was about 35-40 years old with short brown hair and wearing a black jumper. Det Sgt Raymond Hunter said officers had been carrying out door-to-door inquiries and were in the process of collecting CCTV images from the surrounding area. He added: "There are a number of other shops in this area and people may have seen the two men prior to or after the incident. "I am therefore appealing to anyone who was in the area or any local residents to contact us - any information you have could assist our enquiry."

Summary: Two men have stolen a five-figure sum of money during an armed robbery at a Post Office in Glasgow.


Starr, a former independent counsel, was the author of what's probably the most expensive piece of pornography ever published, the Starr Report which chronicled, in graphic sexual detail, Bill Clinton's affair with a 21-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The one-time character assassin has become a character witness. Bill Clinton, despite being impeached for lying under oath about that affair, left office with the highest approval rating - 66% - of any departing president. He was also credited with balancing the federal budget and reviving the American economy from its early-Nineties slump. Since then, as Starr noted, he has followed a redemptive path. So he should be a prime asset to his wife Hillary as she seeks to become the first ever first lady to move from the East Wing of the White House to the West. The irony of Starr's kind words is that they have come at a time when Hillary, among other woes, has a Bill problem. The man who could well become the "First Dude" - Hillary's words, not mine - is proving to be something of a liability. Part of it stems, of course, from what eventually became the focus of Kenneth Starr's inquiry, Bill Clinton's womanising. It blunts her attacks on Donald Trump's sexism and misogyny which, in a contest where more women will vote than men, should have been her ace card. The billionaire, in a jujutsu-like move, has already launched an attack ad featuring video of Kathleen Willey, who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault, and Juanita Broaddrick, who accused him of rape. "DIRTY BILLS," read the front page of the New York Post the following day, conflating Trump's attack ad with the allegations against Bill Cosby. Nor is Trump relying on guilt by association. He has already called Hillary an "enabler" of her husband's fidelity. "She would go after these women and destroy their lives," he has claimed. Like many of Trump's attacks, that may strike many voters as shrill and overstated, it also contains a kernel of truth. The White House did attempt to trash Monica Lewinsky when the scandal first erupted in 1998, and Hillary Clinton, during her husband's long phase of public denial, described it as being the product of a "vast right-wing conspiracy", absolving him of blame. Hillary as loyal "stand-by-your-man" wife does not marry that well with Hillary as feminist trailblazer, the image she is trying to project. My sense, having watched the Clintons fairly closely for over 20 years, is that they have a loving marriage and deep friendship. An animated conversation that started at Yale Law School in the early Seventies continues for both of them to fascinate and enthral. But many critics of the Clintons believe it's a transactional partnership, a marriage of political convenience. To some, her loyalty during the most troubled phase of the Clinton presidency reinforces the sense that she's a cynical political operator, willing to do anything to accrue power. The Bernie problem, her difficulty in seeing off her Democratic rival, is also partly a Bill problem. The unexpected success of

Summary: Adding another unanticipated sidebar to this topsy-turvy election, Kenneth Starr has lavished praise on Bill Clinton, citing his "genuine empathy for human beings", calling him "the most gifted politician of the baby boomer generation" and commending his post-presidential philanthropy, which he noted was Carteresque in its benevolence.

The 24-year-old finished fourth and sixth in the 1500m and 5,000m at the World Athletics Championships. "My exams aren't until May so Commonwealths being in April, it's just not going to work out unfortunately," said the middle distance runner. "I go back to university next week. I've got a week off then back to my studies to complete my final year. Media playback is not supported on this device "I love running for Scotland whenever I can and the Commonwealths are one of the few opportunities you can do it so, yeah, I'm gutted I'm going to be missing it. "But you have to think about getting my degree and that was really important to me. I'm sure the team's going to do so, so well. They're going to do great. "I think I've got at least two, even three more Olympics in me. What events? I don't know. Certainly, so much scope for the future." However, Muir says the World Indoor Championships in March are "potentially a target". "These next few months are going to be very full on with my studies," she explained. "I feel like I'm in reasonable shape. I'd like to run in Birmingham." Hellen Obiri upset defending world champion Almaz Ayana to win 5,000m gold in London, with Sifan Hassan third. Muir's time of 14 minutes 52.07 seconds was her new outdoor personal best. "I'm really happy," she said after Sunday's race. "It was really tough competition out there. I'm delighted with that. I'm really, really pleased with how I ran. "My fifth race in 10 days - it's a lot of running and to still come away with that I think there's a lot of potential for the future."

Summary: Laura Muir says she'll be "gutted" to miss April's Commonwealth Games.


MAP HERE (MAKE SURE MAP LIVE): 36696356 Elena Hrabovenska goes to the staff area to retrieve the letter from her handbag. From the way she has spoken about it, I'm expecting a long, heartfelt message. But it's a simple note scrawled on scrap paper: "My wife told me that hate mail and phone calls have been made to the Polish shops in Huntingdon. The people who do this are a minority. The Poles add to Britain: they have always been welcome." Days after the historic referendum to leave the EU, cards with the words "No more Polish Vermin" were left outside schools and homes in Huntingdon, where Elena runs a Polish deli. "On that day five British people came into the shop and they said they are really sorry. They are ashamed of that person who's done it." Elena's main concern, she says, is that words will escalate to physical violence. After struggling to find the right words, she says: "Around the world you will always find someone who has the stone instead of the heart." Elena owns three Polish delis, one in Huntingdon and two nearby in Peterborough. She came to England in 2003 from Ukraine, aged 19. She arrived alone on a working visa, with Â£100 in her pocket. She knew nobody. At the time there was only one shop selling Central and Eastern European food in Peterborough, she recalls. Despite having a good grasp of English, she struggled to find the ingredients she needed to make the traditional soups she missed. This gave her the idea to open a deli with food imported from Central and Eastern Europe, with staff that can speak Polish and Russian. A few years after arriving in the country, her first deli was born. To stock that first shop, her husband would continually make the 36-hour round trip to Poland by van. There was a clear business opportunity as more and more Poles arrived in the UK, after they were given the right to work here in 2004. Elena's business grew and a decade later, she employs 20 people and has two refrigerated trucks making the journey to Poland and back. There is an obvious irony, of course, that she was a Ukrainian building a Polish deli empire. But in fact many of the Polish delis that have emerged in the UK are owned by non-Poles. Many are run by Turkish businessmen and women. It is a similar phenomenon to Bangladeshis owning Indian restaurants. When asked how she feels about the referendum result, her first thought is for her business. "We put against this business basically everything, the time we could spend as a family... to achieve this place we would work 48 hours without a wink [of sleep]." Her fear is that her delis will be hit by a weaker pound and ultimately, if the UK leaves the single market, import tariffs on Polish food. "I feel responsible for my staff. I don't want to face that time when I have to announce, 'I'm sorry girls I have to close, I have to

Summary: As EU migrants face a backlash in Cambridgeshire in the wake of the referendum result, the entrepreneur behind a small chain of Polish delis fears for her future.


The visitors took the lead when a clever dummy from the impressive Oscar Dorley set up Maksim Maksimov to net. Defender Joe Shaughnessy headed home Liam Craig's corner to level but Trakai responded with a stunning long-range strike from Vaidotas Silenas. Craig and Graham Cummins wasted chances as Saints failed to find an equaliser. Trakai finished with 10 men as Silenas picked up a second yellow card with eight minutes left, but the visitors held on. St Johnstone made a positive start but Trakai carved out the first opening in the seventh minute. A cross found Aliaksandr Bychanok, but his diving header went wide. The Lithuanian side looked technically accomplished with 18-year-old Liberian Dorley causing Saints plenty of problems, and the visitors took the lead with a fine move in the 14th minute. A low cross into the box found Maksimov, who fired smartly past Zander Clark. The hosts should have equalised when Blair Alston broke through the centre of the FK Trakai defence but he fired straight at the keeper. The rebound fell to Cummins, who had his first shot blocked before blazing his second over the bar. Richard Foster's shot was diverted wide by Arunas Klimavicius, and from the resultant corner St Johnstone equalised, Shaughnessy heading home from close range into the corner. But the joy for the home fans was short-lived as FK Trakai took the lead for a second time. A fantastic strike from Silenas from range flashed past Clark. The noise levels inside McDiarmid Park dipped once more. At the start of the second half Dorley played in Alma Wakili down the left hand side but he fired his shot well wide of the post. Saints manager Tommy Wright brought on new signing Stefan Scougall in the hope of improving the levels of creativity from the home side. His ball from the flank presented Craig with a great chance to equalise, but the midfielder volleyed his shot high over the crossbar. Then an even better chance. From a poor Saints corner the ball fell fortuitously to the feet of Scougall. He lashed in a low shot which beat the keeper, but struck the post. FK Trakai remained a danger, Clark saving well from Maksimov, but St Johnstone had further opportunities. Alston burst through from midfield and engineered a chance at the edge of the box, but his shot was deflected wide. From the resultant corner Saints had the ball in the net from another Shaughnessy header, but the referee blew his whistle for a foul on the keeper. Silenas was sent off for a second bookable offence, but the home side could not capitalise. Alston again created an opening and as the ball flashed across goal, it fell straight to Cummins, but from five yards out the striker's shot was too close to Trakai keeper Ignas Plukas, who blocked the ball with his trailing foot. St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright: "Obviously, the result is disappointing. The second goal is criminal from us. It was a great finish but the ball should never get to him. "We were

Summary: St Johnstone need to score at least twice in Lithuania next week after losing their Europa League first round qualifying home tie with FK Trakai.


The deal to stop fighting was agreed between the Syrian government and some rebel groups fighting against them. There has been a war in Syria since 2011 and since then, it's thought 300,000 people have lost their lives. Four million people, including children, have been forced to leave the country and seek safety in nearby countries and Europe. So far, the new ceasefire, which started at midnight on Thursday, seems to be holding, although there have been reports of isolated fighting in some areas. Read our guide to find out more about why there is a war in Syria and why the city of Aleppo is so important. A ceasefire is an agreement by opposing sides to stop fighting in a war. This can be for a certain amount of time as a short break or it can be agreed for a longer period of time. In this ceasefire in Syria, there are many groups involved. Syrian government forces, the Free Syrian Army and many rebel groups have all agreed to the ceasefire. But not all groups operating in the country are part of the deal. The group that calls itself Islamic State and other extremist Islamist groups, are not part of the ceasefire. Islamic State have taken over large parts of Syria and neighbouring Iraq and fighting against them is continuing, whilst the ceasefire is underway. If the ceasefire does continue to hold, then peace talks aimed at ending the war in Syria could be held within a month.

Summary: A new ceasefire is underway in the war torn country of Syria in the Middle East.


The 24-year-old tight-head is among the starting XV who are given a chance to redeem themselves after the 29-13 defeat by Scotland. Asked if he was relieved to be retained, the Exeter Chiefs player replied: "Oh yeah. "Obviously you want to keep your place and after a loss everyone was on edge." Francis continued: "It's good we've got a good squad and a good depth especially in my position. "There's Samson [Lee] there's me and there's Rhods [Rhodri Jones] and there's Scott Andrews. "If you don't have a good game there's someone knocking ready to do anything to take your place." Media playback is not supported on this device Wales go into Friday night's match in Cardiff off the back of defeats by Scotland and England. Another defeat will mean it would be Wales' worst championship since 2010 and Francis accepts the players have something to prove at the Principality Stadium. Francis says he has managed to avoid the worst of the criticism aimed at the team in Wales because he plays his club rugby in the south west of England. "It's a bit like a fishbowl isn't it," he said. "When the game doesn't go how you want it's quite hard not to take that personally especially if you look at the press. "I guess I'm lucky in the weeks after the losses I've been back in Exeter. "I didn't have to stay here and I sort of managed to get away from that and focus on something else and then come back into it. "It's not a nation is it? It's a little part of the south west and there's only a few papers that will print anything about the rugby, but here it's all over the news."

Summary: Wales prop Tomas Francis admitted he was relieved when coach Rob Howley named an unchanged team for Friday's Six Nations match with Ireland.

Konta beat world number 60 Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic 6-4 6-7 (11-13) 6-3. Her next opponent will be another Czech, Katerina Siniakova, who beat Serbian Nina Stojanovic 6-3 6-4. Siniakova caused a surprise in the second round by defeating second seed Simona Halep. Konta looked in control early on against her opponent - the twin sister of world number six Karolina Pliskova - as she took the first set with a single break of serve. Neither player could force a break point in the second set and in the resulting tie-break Konta wasted two match points before the big-serving Pliskova levelled the match on her fifth set point. But Konta stayed firm in the final set, claiming the break and reaching the semi-final on her fifth match point. "I am very happy to have extended my stay here," she said. "She is one of the best servers on tour so I knew I was going to have a hard time on her service games. I was very happy I was able to get that break in the third and see it out in the end."

Summary: British number one Johanna Konta continued her good start to 2017 by reaching the semi-finals of the Shenzhen Open in China.


Members of the 130th (St John) Field Ambulance are being honoured with the rededication of a plaque to them. The Archbishop of Wales and the Duke of Gloucester, who is the Grand Prior of St John, are among 200 invited guests. The service, at 14:00 BST, is being held at St John the Baptist in Cardiff city centre. Welsh assembly's presiding officer Dame Rosemary Butler attended. The 130th unit was made up of St John Ambulance-trained men recruited from coalfields across south Wales. The men served at some of the most important battles of World War One and 11 were killed in action or died from wounds. They provided support at the battle of Mametz Wood on the Somme in July 1916 and at Pilckem Ridge during the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917. The men won 25 military medals for gallantry, two Distinguished Conduct Medals, two Croix de Guerres and three Military Crosses.

Summary: A service to remember Welsh medics who won gallantry medals in World War One is being held in Cardiff.


The record follows a break during which singer Billie Joe Armstrong went to rehab for prescription pill addiction and touring guitarist Jason White received treatment for tonsil cancer. "To have a chart-topping album at this stage of our career is especially gratifying," the band said. As with 2004's American Idiot, the record is a critique of US society. The album's first single, Bang Bang, addresses the culture of mass shootings, telling the story of one such incident through the eyes of a perpetrator. The title track was written after Armstrong joined a march in Manhattan, New York, protesting against a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer for the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson. "It was happening all over the country," he told Rolling Stone magazine. "It was a trip to see people rebel against the old order. "I was feeling that people don't want to feel obsolete in the things that we care about." Revolution Radio outsold its nearest competitor, Barry Gibb's In The Now, by a ratio of two to one, said the Official Charts Company. Other new entries in this week's album chart came from US rock band Alter Bridge, who landed at three with The Last Hero, and the Kaiser Chiefs, whose pop-centric album Stay Together debuted at four. Pop band OneRepublic scored a new entry at six with Oh My My, while Norah Jones entered at 10 with Day Breaks, a record that marks a return to the jazz-inflected style of her debut, Come Away With Me. In the singles chart, James Arthur holds on to the number one spot for the third week in a row, with his downbeat ballad Say You Won't Let Go. The singer strengthened his lead over the competition thanks to a performance on last week's X Factor, which resulted in 50,000 sales and 5.16 million streams - the highest figure his song has achieved so far. Bruno Mars was the highest new entry 24K Magic, a charismatic retread of his hit single Uptown Funk; while Swedish star Zara Larsson edged closer to the top 10 with her single Ain't My Fault rising three places to number 13. Actress-turned-pop star Hailee Steinfeld had the highest-climbing single of the week, as Starving - her collaboration with dance producer Zedd - leapt from 28 to 17.

The floes have experienced much reduced winter coverage and go into the warmest months tracking below the all time satellite minimum year of 2012. But the Reading team says current ice extent is actually a poor guide to the scale of the eventual September low point. A better correlation is with the fraction of the floes in May topped with melt ponds - and that metric suggests 2016 will not be a record year. Ponding water accelerates melting by changing the reflectivity, or albedo, of white ice. The darker liquid absorbs more energy from the sun, promoting further melting and a larger fraction of standing waterâ€¦ and so on. However, despite some remarkable conditions during the Arctic winter, this feedback process has not become a dominant factor in the right places and at the right time to really suppress sea ice in the coming weeks, contends Dr David Schroeder from the Nerc Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM). "2016 certainly looks to be an interesting year when you consider how low the extent has been through the winter, together with the strong sea-surface temperature anomalies. But the winter months are not when melt ponds start forming; this happens in the second half of May and the beginning of June. And during this period, although there were still positive anomalies in some locations, in the most important areas for melt pond fraction - such as in the east Siberian sea towards the central Arctic, for example - the temperatures were not very high." The CPOM team has developed a model to forecast the evolution of melt ponds in the Arctic and has incorporated this into a more general climate sea-ice model. Its simulations suggest sea-ice extent for the end of this coming summer will be 4.5 (+/- 0.5) million square km. This number is for an average across the entire month of September - traditionally the period of minimum coverage. It is slightly lower than last year (4.6 million sq km), but larger than the extraordinary September of 2012 when the floes retreated to just 3.6 million sq km. Past forecasts have shown a high degree of skill. 2014 was pretty much spot on; 2015 came in a bit high but just on the edge of the error range. "There is still an irreducible level of uncertainty associated with the weather conditions," said colleague Prof Daniel Feltham. "We can't predict the atmospheric chaos that happens every year, and this places fundamental limits on how well we can predict the Arctic ice cover." And to illustrate this point, 2012 was notable for an intense storm that blew up over the central Arctic Ocean during the early part of August. This gave the summer melt season an additional kick. Something similar could very easily happen again this year. Reading's outlook has just been submitted to the Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) - a community forum for scientific and stakeholder groups that aim to compare and improve forecast tools. These groups all have their own perspectives, and the SIPN is expected to publish their individual

Summary: Arctic sea-ice extent is unlikely to see a new record this summer, claim polar experts at Reading University, UK.


Ethan McKen, 24, was at the Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach, near Burgas, when he and a friend were hit by a wave, earlier on Saturday. Mr McKen was unable to get back to shore and his friends were unable to reach him, a family member said. Travel agent Thomas Cook is working with local authorities to find him. The UK Foreign Office has been made aware of the incident. Its spokesman said it was providing consular assistance to the family of a British man. A spokesman from Club 18-30, which is owned by Thomas Cook, confirmed one of its customers staying at its Sunny Beach resort went missing earlier on Saturday. A second person is safe and recovering in a local medical centre. He said: "We are liaising closely with the British Embassy and the local authorities as the search effort continues, and can confirm that the local police are stopping anyone entering the water at present while this continues. "Club 18-30's parent company Thomas Cook is liaising closely with the missing person's family in the UK, and are arranging for relatives to travel to Bulgaria at the first available opportunity."

Summary: A teacher from Nottingham has been swept out to sea in Bulgaria.


Mills scored 102 goals for Whitehawk after joining the club in 2012, having previously had spells with clubs including Peterborough and Torquay. Details of the length of the 26-year-old's contract at Stonebridge Road have not been disclosed. Mills is Ebbsfleet's first signing since winning promotion from National League South in May.

Summary: Newly-promoted National League side Ebbsfleet United have signed former Whitehawk striker Danny Mills.


More places will also be made available at all of Scotland's teacher education universities. The increase of 60 primary and 200 secondary student teacher places will bring the total intake next year to 3,490. The government said it was the fifth consecutive annual increase. A campaign was launched in September to try to encourage more people to enter the teaching profession in Scotland. The Scottish government's #inspiringteachers campaign is focusing on science, technology, engineering and maths. Ministers are also asking the new Strategic Board for Teacher Education to consider whether further actions are needed "to make sure we have the right numbers of teachers in our schools". In September, the leaders of seven councils called for a national taskforce to be set up to help deal with teacher recruitment problems. They made the call at a summit on tackling teacher shortages in northern and rural parts of Scotland. Student teacher places next year: • 1,230 post-graduate primary places - 60 more than last year's target • 710 undergraduate primary places • 1,350 secondary places - up by 185 on last year's target • 200 undergraduate secondary places - 15 more than last year's target Education Secretary Angela Constance said: "We want to make sure we have the right number of skilled teachers in our schools to help all of our young people to succeed. "That's why we worked with local authorities to maintain teacher numbers this year and aim to do the same again next year, with a further £51m funding. "And it's why we are increasing student places for the fifth year in a row, targeting them at areas where they are needed most such as Aberdeen and Highlands and Islands universities. "We have upped last year's student teacher targets for science, technology, engineering and maths and we know these will be challenging for the universities to meet. "I will be asking the new Strategic Board for Teacher Education to look at our workforce planning, particularly in the secondary sector, to consider whether there is more we can do. "We also launched a teacher recruitment campaign in September with a focus on the Stem subjects and we are working with the universities to maximise its impact."

Summary: The Scottish government has announced that it is making more than £2m available to train an extra 260 teachers next year.


Timothy Geaney admitted taking or permitting the images to be taken between April 2004 and February 2014. He was made the subject of a community payback order and put on the sex offenders register earlier this year. He has now been removed from his profession's register following a General Teaching Council Scotland hearing. In February, Dumfries Sheriff Court heard how most of the images he had downloaded were of young boys partially dressed in erotic poses with no sexual activity. In addition to his payback order he was ordered to take part in a special programme for sex offenders. A GTC Scotland hearing was told that the nature of the offence meant Geaney had "condoned and participated in an industry that violates and abuses children". It heard that his conduct was "fundamentally incompatible" with being a registered teacher. The panel found that Geaney had failed to uphold the standards expected of the profession. It also noted that the offending behaviour had taken place over a lengthy period of time "demonstrating that there was a pattern of behaviour, as opposed to an isolated incident". "Given the volume of images and the duration of the conduct, taken with the lack of evidence of remedial action, the panel was of the view that there was a strong likelihood of the offending behaviour recurring," it concluded. The panel found him unfit to teach and removed him from the professional register. Geaney, who was 69 at the time he was sentenced, was not present at the hearing. He was prohibited from applying to re-register for a period of two years.

Summary: A Dumfries and Galloway music teacher found with more than 21,000 indecent images of children has been struck off.


Sexton suffered a suspected groin injury, before O'Connell was carried off at the end of the first half. Leading 9-6 at half-time, Rob Kearney's try increased Ireland's lead before O'Mahony had to be taken off. Conor Murray added a further late try as the gutsy Irish set up a quarter-final with Argentina next Sunday. Relive the action from the game on BBC Radio 5 live Topping Pool D means Joe Schmidt's side avoid a last-eight encounter with the world champions but the injuries to three such influential members of the Irish team will be a massive concern for the rest of the campaign. There will also be fears that the outstanding Sean O'Brien could be facing a citing after he appeared to punch France lock Pascal Pape in the opening minute of the contest. With O'Connell retiring from international duty after this tournament, there will be fears that his Ireland career could be over after 108 caps. The French, blunt as an attacking force for the most part, must regroup to face the All Blacks in their quarter-final at the Millennium Stadium next Saturday evening. Ireland showed remarkable resolve to stand up to a hugely physical France side. The French, as promised, targeted ex-Racing Metro player Sexton and the Ireland fly-half was forced off in the 25th minute after a heavy tackle by Louis Picamoles, although it looked as though the Irish playmaker injured his groin kicking the ball seconds earlier. O'Connell's international career may have come to an end after he fell awkwardly as he was cleared out at a ruck in first-half injury-time, while O'Mahony was forced off 14 minutes into the second half with another leg injury. However, that came five minutes after a break by the magnificent Robbie Henshaw helped set up Kearney's crucial try. Sexton's replacement Ian Madigan produced a tremendous display after his introduction as he conclusively won his battle with France fly-half Frederic Michalak. The Irish also managed to out-scrum the French, while the performances of second-half replacements Iain Henderson and Chris Henry demonstrated the depth in Joe Schmidt's squad. However, that depth may be tested to its limits next weekend against the Pumas. A huge early tackle from Jamie Heaslip on France full-back Scott Spedding set the tone for a bone-crunching contest. Media playback is not supported on this device Michalak and Spedding missed early chances to put France ahead but Sexton did nudge the Irish ahead from 45 metres after their first move into opposition territory. Two long-range Spedding penalties - either side of another Sexton three points - levelled the contest before the tearful Ireland fly-half was forced off. The composed Madigan's first action was to restore Ireland's lead in the 28th minute but the Irish suffered second devastating injury blow in first-half injury-time after Pascal Pape clattered into O'Connell at a ruck. Late in the half, Ireland centre Keith Earls had wasted a glorious try-scoring after to take a routine pass following a searing Tommy Bowe break. But the determined Irish were not to be denied after the break. Not for

Summary: Ireland beat France to avoid a quarter-final encounter with New Zealand, but suffered injuries to Johnny Sexton, Paul O'Connell and Peter O'Mahony.


The 30-year-old signed a new three-year contract with Notts on Monday. Gurney told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Notts are a very special club with a lot of history. In my five years here, my career has been on an upward trend. "Despite the fact we've been relegated, I feel pretty optimistic about the future and quite excited to be getting stuck in under Peter Moores." Gurney joined Notts from East Midlands rivals Leicestershire in 2011 and has since taken 306 wickets for the Trent Bridge club in all formats. "I am really grateful to Mick (Newell) who originally signed me and I feel loyalty to him, as well as the club to be honest," continued Gurney. "I think we can rebuild next season, tweak a few things and hopefully build a foundation which can propel us back into Division One."

Summary: Harry Gurney says he feels optimistic about the future despite suffering relegation with Nottinghamshire.


The report found that although alcohol consumption has dropped since 2008, those in poorer communities are more likely to suffer or die from alcohol-related disease. The coalition government rejected a minimum price for alcohol in 2013. Health ministers said they would look at the evidence carefully. The public health review says that alcohol is now more affordable and people are drinking more than they did 40 years ago, making it the leading risk factor for ill health, early death and disability in those aged 15 to 49 in England. More adults are non-drinkers but there are still more than 10 million people in England drinking at levels that could damage their health. The report suggests there were 167,000 years of working life lost to alcohol in 2015 - mainly among the young and middle-aged. It concludes that reducing the affordability of alcohol is the most cost-effective way of reducing alcohol harm. But a plan to introduce a minimum price of 45p per unit of alcohol was shelved by the coalition government three years ago. In 2014, a ban on the sale of alcohol below cost price, defined as alcohol duty plus VAT, came into force in England and Wales. Public Health England (PHE) says implementing a minimum unit price (Mup) is the answer because it "is a highly targeted measure which ensures tax increases are passed on to the consumer and improves the health of the heaviest drinkers". It also adds that combing Mup with an increase in taxation would lead to "substantial reductions in harm and increases in government revenue". The report also says there is little evidence to suggest that putting more information on labels on alcoholic drinks would lead to a reduction in alcohol-related harm. A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "While no one would want to interfere with the right of adults to enjoy a drink responsibly, this report shows clearly that the abuse of alcohol can cause significant health problems." And it added that new official guidance on alcohol limits, which say that men and women should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, allowed people to make informed choices. Prof Kevin Fenton, national director of health and wellbeing at PHE, said alcohol damaged more than just individuals. "Excessive alcohol consumption can harm children, wreck families, impact on workplace colleagues and can be a burden and drain on the NHS and economy. "This evidence review will help local and national government and public services like the police and NHS to develop policies designed to reduce the harmful effects of alcohol." Shirley Cramer, chief executive of the Royal Society for Public Health, said she was hopeful that the evidence would be taken on board by government. "The health harms of alcohol affect all sectors of society, but are felt most by the poorest and most vulnerable. "All the evidence now points to Mup as one of the most effective potential ways to tackle these inequalities in harm." In Scotland, laws for the minimum pricing for alcohol were passed in 2012 but have not

Summary: Introducing a minimum price per unit of alcohol in England would improve the health of the heaviest drinkers, a review by Public Health England says.


The 21-year-old was also suspended for four months backdated to 23 May although three of those months have been suspended until 1 July 2016. Townsend had already voluntarily withdrawn from the England squad for the European Under-21 Championship. It is believed he was not accused of betting on games he had involvement in. However, the FA has strict betting rules that forbid gambling on a wide spectrum of fixtures laid out in its regulations. The length of the up-front ban, coupled with the fact that he withdrew from the England Under-21 squad, mean he will not miss a game. The midfielder, who was on loan at QPR for the second half of the season, is a product of Tottenham's academy and signed as a trainee in 2008. He has had loan spells at Yeovil, Leyton Orient, MK Dons, Ipswich, Watford, Millwall, Leeds, Birmingham and, most recently, with former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp at QPR. Townsend made his Premier League debut for Spurs in September 2012 before joining Rangers in January, where he made 12 Premier League appearances, scoring twice.

Summary: Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend has been fined £18,000 by the Football Association for breaching betting regulations.


Macy's said like-for-like sales fell 4.6% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. The decline sent shares in Macy's, which also owns Bloomingdales, down 17% on Thursday. At Kohl's, like-for-like sales slid 2.7% and were down 0.8% at Nordstrom. Shares fell close to 8% for both retailers, while Sears sank almost 10% Hudson's Bay Co, which owns chains including Saks Fifth Avenue, said its same-store sales fell 2.9%. Jeff Gennette, Macy's chief executive, said the company was well aware of the challenges it faced. "These are unusual and challenging times for retail, especially for mall-based stores. We certainly know these changes that we're seeing are ... not cyclical," he said. Some analysts said the decline in department store sales point to broader weakness in consumer spending - a key driver of economic growth. "It's a gut check about the health of the consumer," said Phil Blancato at Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management. "It's a canary in the coal mine moment." Retailers 'left behind' as consumers change habits How long will you wait for a shopping website to load? The US Commerce Department will release retail sales figures on Friday that are expected to further underline online sales growth outstripping those at brick-and-mortar stores. Nordstrom, which has more than 340 stores in the US and Canada, said about a quarter of sales in the three months to March were online. It has tried to counter the rise of rival online retailers by opening more of its discount Rack stores, investing in the popular online menswear brand Bonobos and other tweaks such as speeding up its website. Macy's is adding discount areas to its stores, striking deals to stock exclusive fashion lines, and making it easier for customers to try on shoes without a sales assistant. Macy's chief financial officer, Karen Hoguet, said putting collection points for online purchases at the front of the store - rather than forcing customers to find their way to a counter at the back - has actually boosted sales. Mr Gennette, who took over in March, said Macy's hoped to introduce a new store format next year, but the company is still forecasting a fall in sales for the full year. "How and when will you grow again is what's been on your mind," he told analysts. "We certainly don't have the answers yet, but we're working on them with great urgency." Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said Macy's now has a "better sense of direction" than it once did, but added: "However, the distance it needs to travel over the next few years is enormous. "We question whether the company is bold, nimble or healthy enough to cover such ground." Macy's profits fell 39% to $71m in the quarter compared with the same period last year.

Summary: Weaker-than-expected sales at several US department store chains reignited concerns about the US retail sector and prompted investors to offload shares.


Media playback is not supported on this device His departure handed Jared Payne a chance to stake his claim to the Test full-back slot. Ultimately he did not do that. The New Zealand-born Ireland international had a fitful game. He was good in parts - notably putting in an excellent tackle on express train wing Waisake Naholo in the first half - but was indifferent in others, such as knocking on a routine high ball off a second-half kick-off. Leigh Halfpenny has not set the tour alight so far. The Welshman appeared in a laboured win over the Provincial Barbarians in the tour opener and the 22-16 defeat by the Blues. But I think, even had Hogg stayed fit, Halfpenny might have been ahead in Warren Gatland's thinking. He doesn't give you any of the X-factor that Hogg would have done. But, on the other hand, he is entirely reliable. He is probably the best goal-kicker in the world and, with Owen Farrell missing another penalty that he would usually slot today, that quality could be vital in the pressure of a Test match. Who should start against the All Blacks? You don't want to take a chance in that department. He also has outstanding Lions pedigree. He had the Test jersey on the tour of Australia in 2013, played brilliantly and won the man of the series award. England's Anthony Watson looked very dangerous in attack when deployed at full-back against the Crusaders after Hogg's injury. He has made the biggest impression if the Lions need someone to come on and act as a strike runner from that position. Liam Williams came onto the tour in great form, but has looked like a rabbit in the headlights so far. Usually he is low on errors, high on accuracy when playing for his country, but the occasion seems to have got to him. Jonathan Joseph was playing catch-up after a quiet opening game against the Provincial Barbarians. I think he has made up some of the ground in an intriguing battle for the midfield slots. Joseph said himself that the opening game was "not the ideal situation" to make an impression given they had only stepped off the plane three days earlier. This is the game that he would have liked to have played then as an opening statement. He scored a try with a typically astute running angle, sensing the space and then turning on his pace to exploit it. Media playback is not supported on this device But it was his inside running lines, coming haring onto the ball in the build-up to Sam Warburton's try and again in the final play of the game, that encouraged me. It showed him getting involved, looking to get his hands on the ball, challenging defenders on the inside as well as the outside. Conor Murray's polished performance in Saturday's win over the Crusaders threw down the gauntlet to Rhys Webb. The Wales scrum-half caught the eye with some sniping breaks, but, for me, the basics were lacking when you contrast his performance

Summary: In the hours before kick-off in the Lions' 23-22 defeat by the Highlanders, full-back Stuart Hogg was ruled out of the tour with a fracture to a bone in his face.


Clive Weatherhogg set up meetings between the woman and a man he found through an adult website, and filmed them having sex. A court heard he sent a message containing a sexually explicit clip to the victim's sister on Christmas Day. Weatherhogg, 42, was also placed on the sex offenders register. He had denied the charges but was found guilty following a trial at Dundee Sheriff Court. Sheriff George Way remitted the case to the High Court in Edinburgh to be dealt with because its greater sentencing powers. Weatherhogg, formerly of Guthrie, near Forfar, was found guilty of coercing the woman to engage in sexual activity and intercourse with the man between 10 September, 2013 and 17 September the following year. He was also convicted of intentionally causing the woman's sister and father to look at sexual images and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on 25 December, 2014. The woman told the trial she had felt "blackmailed" by Weatherhogg. Lady Wolffe told the Weatherhogg that she had to pass a sentence on him that "reflected society's abhorrence" at such conduct. The judge said that Weatherhogg, a first offender, had been assessed as posing "a moderate risk" of sexual re-offending. Defence counsel Jonathan Crowe said it had been "a dramatic shock" for Weatherhogg to be placed on remand ahead of sentencing.

Summary: A man who coerced a woman into having sex with a stranger before sending "revenge porn" to her family has been jailed for six years.


Daniel Filmus, Argentina's minister for the islands - called the Malvinas locally - announced the case in London. The companies involved are Falkland Oil and Gas, Premier Oil, Rockhopper, Edison International and Noble Energy. Mr Filmus told the BBC the companies were "performing illegal acts by entering Argentine territory". He added: "I want to make it clear for the directors of these companies and for British public opinion that Argentina will use the full force of the law - both national and international law - to prevent these countries from taking the riches which belong to 40 million Argentine citizens. "Argentina has extradition treaties around the world and we intend to use them." He added that the area being drilled was "as much ours as the centre of Buenos Aires. Neither the UK nor any other country would allow anyone to enter their territory and take away their riches." In response, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond accused the Argentines of "outrageous bullying". He said the islanders had a "perfect right to develop their own economic resources and Argentina needs to stop this kind of behaviour and start acting like a responsible member of the international community". The Falklands Islands government also said the Argentines had no case. "We have the right to develop our economy, including the hydrocarbons industry, and we are exercising that right," it said. "It is worth remembering that it was the government of Argentina who walked away from working with the Falkland Islands on the development of a hydrocarbons industry some years ago. "Argentine domestic law does not apply to the Falkland Islands and this latest action is clearly another attempt by Argentina to try to block economic growth in the Falkland Islands." Analysts suggested Argentina would have little joy in the courts. "The Argentines will lose," Malcolm Bracken at Redmayne Bentley told the BBC. "They have no jurisdiction - the UN settled the matter in 1982." In fact, he said the country's current position would prove counterproductive. "All they're doing is handing any possible benefit that Argentina may have had from the oil boom in the south Atlantic to Chile. "There'd be an awful lot of logistic support needed for drilling that simply isn't available in the Falklands. They'd need a port somewhere and that's likely to be near Chile rather than Argentina, so they're cutting their own nose off to spite their face." Earlier this month, Argentine foreign ministry officials said they would prosecute oil companies operating near the Falkland Islands. The officials said companies active there were operating illegally in Argentine territory. This came after the three British oil companies announced new oil and gas finds north of the islands, and as Argentina marked the 33rd anniversary of the war with the UK over the islands. Tensions between the UK and Argentina were already running high after the UK announced it would spend Â£280m over the next 10 years on improving defences on the islands.

Summary: Argentina has begun legal proceedings against three British and two US companies for drilling oil near the Falkland Islands.


Two Diarmuid Murtagh goals helped Connacht lead 2-3 to 0-3 before Aidan Breen replied with an Ulster goal. Damien Comer hit a third Connacht goal as they led 3-6 to 1-10 at half-time before Ulster took control. Despite losing Chrissy McKaigue to a black card, Ulster hit 1-4 without reply, with Charlie Vernon netting. McKaigue was joined in the Ulster squad at Carrick-on-Shannon by his Slaughtneil team-mate Brendan Rogers, despite their upcoming All-Ireland club championship duties. Connacht started strongly with their scorer in chief Murtagh firing their opening goal after 7 minutes and again finding the net two minutes later. Ulster responded well with Fermanagh's Breen finding the net for his provincial for the second time in a week with a 18th-minute goal. Pete McGrath's charges cut the gap to two points twice over the next six minutes, and left the minimum between the sides for the first time, after a Tomas Corrigan score. However, Connacht were causing the Ulster defence problems, with Galway's Comer cutting in for a 28th minute goal, as the hosts led by two at the break. Ulster came fired up on the restart, and despite losing substitute McKaigue to a black card, kept motoring well. Peter Harte and Corrigan added point before Vernon cut through for a goal in a spell which saw Ulster score 1-4 without reply. Connacht could only manage two points from frees in the closing quarter, with Emyln Mulligan and Paul Conroy on target. After the game Ulster captain Eoin Donnelly accepted the cup from GAA President Aogan O Fearghail.

Summary: Ulster clinched a 32nd Interprovincial football title as they produced a strong second half to earn a 2-16 to 3-10 comeback win over holders Connacht.


Resuming on 25-1 on day two, Lancashire batted throughout all three sessions to reach 311-8 at the close of play. England's Stuart Broad took 3-57, as did fellow paceman Jake Ball. But 55 from wicketkeeper Alex Davies, 48 from Alviro Petersen and then Livingstone's 63 not out helped the home side end the day on top. Coming in at number seven, at 156-5, with his side still 86 runs in arrears, Livingstone put on 72 for the sixth wicket with Davies. And the 22-year-old has so far put on a further 62 for the ninth wicket with Zimbabwean Kyle Jarvis, who ended the day also unbeaten on 36. Earlier, Warrington-born Steven Mullaney claimed the 50th first-class victim of his career on his old home ground when he had his former Red Rose team-mate, Lancashire captain Steven Croft, caught behind for 15. Lancashire batsman Liam Livingstone told BBC Manchester: "I found out I was going to play on Friday afternoon. It's been a very good day for me but also for the team. We're in a strong position. "There's still two days left in the game so we're looking at building as big a lead as we can, so that we can set attacking fields in their second innings. "A lot's been said that we've got a young squad but that doesn't mean that we're not talented enough to fill the gap left by Ashwell Prince. We're all working hard to try and prove people wrong." Notts fast bowler Jackson Bird told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Obviously, it's a pretty flat wicket but we did well to contain them. After the new ball lost its shine it was tough work. "It was disappointing we couldn't break that partnership. Once it got soft there wasn't much bounce or movement at all. "They're only 69 ahead so hopefully we can get these last two wickets early. We can still get a positive result. Hopefully the wicket will start to go up and down and maybe reverse swing will come into it. If we can get a reasonable lead, you never know on day four."

Summary: Lancashire youngster Liam Livingstone marked his first-class debut with an unbeaten half century to build a useful 69-run lead over Nottinghamshire.


Organisers said they were not opposed to gay or lesbian rights, but wanted to defend family values and the institution of marriage. The demonstrators called for a meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto. Gay and lesbian activists staged rival protests. Public opinion in Mexico, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, has been split since Mr Pena Nieto announced in May plans to change the constitution. Same-sex marriages are legal in some Mexican states, but Mr Pena Nieto wants it to be allowed across the country. Last year the Supreme Court declared that a ban on such unions imposed in many of Mexico's states was unconstitutional. Leaders of the National Front for the Family, which organised the march, say they are not opposed to LGBT rights. But they argue that Mexico has fallen victim of an ideological battle that threatens family values and the institution of marriage. "In a democratic society you cannot impose a single thought," said Mario Alberto Romo, a spokesman for the group. Demonstrators are calling for a meeting with Mr Pena Nieto to debate the issue. LGBT rights supporters turned up at the march to show their backing for Mr Pena Nieto's proposal to legalise same-sex marriage, but police said there were no clashes. Some of them carried banners that read: "I'm gay and I'm a Catholic" and "We also have families". Four Latin American countries have already legalised same-sex marriage: Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and most recently Colombia.

Summary: Thousands of people in Mexico City have protested against a government proposal to legalise same-sex marriage, which they say would undermine traditional families.


The 26-year-old former Swansea player has been on loan at Villa Park since January, scoring three goals in 11 appearances for the FA Cup finalists. "This is the happiest I have been in a long time," said Sinclair, who started only three times for Manchester City. "I believe that will help me perform better and push on for this great club in the coming years." Sinclair joined Manchester City in 2012 for £8m, but was sent out on loan to West Brom in 2013. He began his career at Bristol Rovers before joining Chelsea in 2005, but played only five times for the Blues in five years and spent six spells out on loan. A former England Under-21 international, he moved to Swansea for an initial £500,000 in 2010.

Summary: Aston Villa have signed Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.


The Sky Blues currently play in Coventry's Ricoh Arena but had a long dispute with the stadium's previous owners. The council said the club wanted to meet to understand how it would deal with a planning application. The club said it was not commenting "at this stage". The club's owners, Sisu, have been involved in a long-running stand off with the previous operators of the Ricoh that saw the Sky Blues play the 2013/14 season in Northampton. The arena is now owned by Premiership rugby team Wasps. In a statement, Rugby Borough Council said its leader and the council's executive director and head of planning had met with Coventry City in March. "The club requested the meeting to understand how the council would deal with any planning application for potential stadium sites in the borough of Rugby," it said. It said the plans would need to be finalised by September to be included in the council's local plan, but added that a site had yet to be identified. Peter Ward, from Sky Blues Supporters' Consultative Group, said he was pleased to hear that things were "moving" with the club's search for a new home. "It's good that finally there is some evidence things are happening," he said. "As we've heard from the club's directors, there is a need to take control of and have access to all the revenue streams." However, he said that fans could find a move out of Coventry difficult - particularly as they only moved from their previous home, Highfield Road, to the Ricoh in 2005. "The move from Highfield Road to the Ricoh was a big emotional move for the fans," he said. "This would be another big change."

Summary: Planners in Rugby have revealed they have been in talks with Coventry City Football Club about building a stadium in the borough.
