Rachel Fee, 31, and her partner Nyomi Fee, 28, are accused of murdering the two-year-old in March 2014 at a house near Glenrothes, Fife, and ill-treating two other boys. The two women deny all the charges against them. Jurors immediately asked for a break after watching the 12-minute film. The video was shown to the jury at the High Court in Livingston. It showed Liam lying on the floor of his bedroom in his pyjamas, covered in a duvet. The video was taken by detectives in the early hours of 23 March 2014. The court had previously heard paramedics arrived at the house just after 20:00 the previous evening. The video showed each room of the house where the toddler lived with Rachel and Nyomi Fee. There was a cot in the room, alongside a buggy and pictures of Liam on the wall. Later, Police Constable Sam Girdwood, 24, told the trial he and his partner were called to the house after receiving a report a baby was in cardiac arrest and may have been strangled by a young boy. Pc Girdwood said he arrived and Rachel Fee was standing with the boy who she and Nyomi are accused of falsely blaming for Liam's death. He said: "She had a hold of the young boy and told him to tell me what had happened. He mumbled something that sounded like 'I strangled him'." The officer said he took the boy into a separate room from the women where he repeated the claim, and brought it up later at Glenrothes police station. He said: "He wanted to tell me what happened. He put his hand up in the air to say he had done this to (Liam). He went on to say something along the lines of (Liam) was getting more attention than him." Both accused, who are originally from Ryton, Tyne and Wear, also wept as the video was played to the jury. The couple are accused of murdering Liam and attempting to defeat the ends of justice by blaming the killing on a young boy. They are also charged with a catalogue of allegations that they neglected Liam and abused two other children, one of whom they blame for killing Liam, while in their care over a two-year period. They deny all the charges against them. The trial continues.

Summary: Members of the jury in the Liam Fee murder trial wept as they were shown a police video of the toddler's body hours after he was found dead.


The US president-elect's transition team confirmed the acts would perform at the ceremony on 20 January. Several high-profile musicians including Elton John and Celine Dion have refused to perform at the event. But Mr Trump has claimed many celebrities have been requesting tickets for it. On Friday, he tweeted: "The so-called 'A' list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!" That is seemingly a reference to the fact his democratic rival Hillary Clinton lost last month's presidential election despite having the support of many celebrities, including Katy Perry and Beyonce. One performer who has already been booked for Mr Trump's inauguration is 16-year-old former America's Got Talent singer Jackie Evancho. Boris Epshteyn, the communications director for Mr Trump's inaugural committee, confirmed on Thursday that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Radio City Rockettes would join her. The Rockettes are a dance company, established in 1925, who have performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York since 1932. Their style covers many genres of dance, including ballet, tap, modern, and jazz. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a 360-piece singing group made up of volunteers. It is named after the Salt Lake Tabernacle in Utah, where the group has performed for more than 100 years. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Summary: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and The Radio City Rockettes will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration, it has been announced.


I'd been selected as one of 24 mid-career professionals from around the world to take up a Rotary International peace fellowship. It involved three months studying peace and conflict at Chulalongkorn University, in Thailand. My classmates would be peacekeepers who had seen war and conflict up close. They were professors and activists from places such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Nepal. The hope was we'd graduate brimming with solutions to help a world that, let's face it, needs people minded to try to find peace where they can. But I'd only been in Bangkok two days when I realised I had a problem. As I looked down after seven hours of exploring the streets, I saw my feet, swollen in the heat, were bleeding - cut to pieces by my seven-year-old weathered sandals. With temperatures set to rise, and school starting early the next morning, I had to buy new footwear. They had to be respectable, so my trainers wouldn't cut it. We had been warned before we came out that Thailand was still in the midst of a year-long mourning period for the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. My outfits, therefore, had to be suitable from head to toe, especially since I was attending the royal university. I left my room in a rush and spotted a chap in my dorm corridor. "Are you new? Are you a Rotary fellow too? Want to help me buy shoes?" Andrew Miles, a policeman from Melbourne, knew when he had been ambushed. Fifteen minutes later, we found ourselves in the midst of the MBK shopping centre. Ten minutes after that and 500 baht (Â£11) poorer, I had in my hand two pairs of sandals that could easily be slipped off at temples and people's homes, as the Thai culture required, and could also cope with swelling feet in Bangkok's rising heat. Global education Get in touch with the Global education series. The sandals certainly got a battering. As a vegetarian, Bangkok's street food proved a bit of challenge. Lesson one: to find peace, learn as much of the language of the country you've moved to as quickly as you can - especially when it comes to meal time. This will prevent "hanger" (when you get angry because you are so hungry). Lesson two: be ready to walk, and walk and walk as you try to find somewhere that can cater for your strict dietary requirements. Be careful of getting overexcited by meal spots, as you may end up tripping over your toes. I can testify that falling flat on your bottom on Bangkok's incredibly busy streets is not a good look. At first, things went well. School was a 10-minute walk away, and guest lecturers included Buddhist monks, military generals and academics with years of experience in peace studies. Topics included storytelling and peace and conflict analysis tools. Friendships and bonds emerged through this unique programme. Where else would a London journalist like me end up sharing washing powder with Natasha Dimitrovska - a feminist from Macedonia - or have daily morning coffee with Manty

Summary: In the grand scheme of things, they are pretty ugly shoes: brown, fake leather, with three buckle straps and a sole and heel the pollution in Bangkok and three months of constant wear would turn from a tan colour to a steadfast black.


Health Inspectorate Wales said Wrexham Maelor Hospital staff were under "considerable pressure" for long periods as ambulances waited outside. It said inspectors were told the situation was not unusual. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said it was working to manage the pressures. Inspectors visited the A&E unit and another ward on 30 September and 1 October last year and have released reports about what they found. Despite the pressures in A&E they said staff were observed to be effectively prioritising clinical need and patient care. On the Mason Ward, inspectors found patients to be well looked after and said staff were committed to providing good standards of care. Angela Hopkins, executive director of nursing and midwifery at the health board, said its hospitals were experiencing growing demand like the rest of the UK. "We are focussing on the improvement of emergency department and ward processes for both admission and discharge to reduce delays," she said. "We are increasing the numbers of nursing staff and extra beds have been opened. "We are also working in partnership with local authorities and the Welsh Ambulance Service to ensure that the system works more smoothly to improve patient flow through the hospital."

Summary: An unannounced inspection of an under-pressure A&E unit at a north Wales hospital led to concerns for patient safety, a watchdog says.


A controversial firmware change made earlier this month meant HP printer owners using unofficial, usually cheaper, cartridges discovered they would no longer work. A campaign calling on HP to reverse the move was launched, backed by rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). In a blog post, HP admitted it should have done a "better job of communicating” the change. An optional update that removes the restriction on unofficial cartridges will be available “within two weeks”. The firm added: “We are committed to transparency in all of our communications and when we fall short, we call ourselves out." But while making the apology for how it informed users, HP defended the move, saying it did so to protect users from counterfeit products. "When ink cartridges are cloned or counterfeited, the customer is exposed to quality and potential security risks, compromising the printing experience,” wrote Jon Flaxman, the company’s chief operating officer. However, campaigners argued HP’s motivation was less about security, and more about protecting the large profit margins it adds to official ink cartridges. As consumers took to online forums and social networks to express anger, the EFF came down hard, saying HP had betrayed the public's trust. "Customers should be able to buy an HP printer without fear that the company will later place artificial limits on the printer’s use,” the group said. "It would be a security nightmare for customers to avoid installing security updates for fear of unwanted and unannounced feature changes." It also called on HP to explain how it planned to tell customers who may have been affected about the revised update. "Right now,” the EFF said, “the vast majority of people who use the affected printers likely do not know why their printers lost functionality, nor do they know that it’s possible to restore it. "All of those customers should be able to use their printers free of artificial restrictions, not just the relatively few who have been closely following this story."

Summary: HP has backtracked on a software update that blocked some ink cartridges made by third parties.


Inderjit Singh Dhariwal, 49, was injured at Samsons in Rood End Road, Oldbury, in the early hours of Sunday. Nicolas Salhan, 36, of Haybridge Avenue, Stourbridge, and Jonathan Davies, 42, from Old Bridge Walk, Rowley Regis, have been charged. They are due to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 30 November. Mr Dhariwal, of Oldbury, was taken to hospital in a critical condition but died on Monday.

Summary: Two men have appeared in court and been charged with murder following the death of a man who suffered serious head injuries at a banqueting venue.


Initial plans to bridge the River Wharfe in Tadcaster resulted in a stalemate after a local landowner refused permission. The county council said an alternative option had been found using land owned by the town and district councils. The authority said it hoped the bridge would be in place "within weeks". The 18th Century road bridge is expected to take up to 12-months to repair at a cost of £3m. The government had offered the county council an additional £300,000 towards the cost of a temporary footbridge to help reunite the town whilst the repairs are carried out. Samuel Smiths' brewery, which owned the site originally chosen, refused permission over concerns pressure might be exerted for the temporary bridge to remain after the road bridge was reopened. The county council said a new agreement had been reached between it, the town council, Selby district council and the town's football club, Tadcaster Albion. The bridge will be accessed from Selby District Council's car park on the east side of the river and lead on to land owned by the town council on the west side. The access path will lead through Tadcaster Albion's car park, which will provide a disabled access route. There is an alternative route directly onto Bridge Street for the more able bodied. The authority said it was grateful to the football club for its' help and would be making "every effort to get the footbridge installed as quickly as possible." The town's MP, Nigel Adams, who had raised the issue with the prime minister on Tuesday, said he was delighted a solution had been found.

Summary: A footbridge is to be constructed to reunite a North Yorkshire town divided after its main road bridge collapsed during flooding.


Researchers hope to learn how much it weighed, how it moved and what it used its iconic back plates for. A UK team has scanned each of its 360 bones into a computer and has digitally reconstructed the dinosaur. The specimen, nicknamed "Sophie", has been acquired by the Natural History Museum in London. Although Stegosauruses are one of the most well known dinosaurs, they are among those that scientists know the least about. There are only six partial skeletons of the creature, which lived around 150 million years ago. It could grow to the size of a minibus and the gigantic plates which ran along its back were its most distinctive feature. Surprisingly, it was 100 years ago that the dinosaur's skeleton was properly assessed and scientifically described. Now, using medical imaging techniques and 3D modelling, researchers at the Natural History Museum hope to learn much more about this iconic creature. Prof Paul Barrett, who is leading the research, said that they were particularly interested in finding out what stegosauruses used their plates for. "We want to find out whether they were used for defence or whether they were used as a radiator to help the animal pick up or lose heat," he told BBC News. Sophie is 80% complete and is thought to be the most complete specimen in the world. Dr Charlotte Brassey, who is working with Prof Barrett, helped to scan in its 360 bones and digitally recreate it on her computer as a detailed 3D model. "I reconstructed the skeleton to see what it might have looked like and then began to reconstruct the muscles and how they connected with the skeleton. From that we can begin to say how effective its muscles were and eventually in the future we would like to reconstruct how it moved," she told BBC News. Among the mysteries the researchers would like to solve is how the species was able to walk with such small front legs and such large back legs. Follow Pallab on Twitter

Summary: Scientists have begun the most detailed analysis ever carried out on a Stegosaurus skeleton.


He has sent a business case to Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir outlying how he intends to tackle the projected £490m overspend. The scheme was set up by former first minister Arlene Mrs Foster in 2012 when she was enterprise minister. Its aim was to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources. However, businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for fuel, and the scheme became heavily oversubscribed. The plan by the economy minister has now been formally submitted to the Department of Finance for approval. Mr Hamilton and Mr Ó Muilleoir held talks on the issue last week. Analysis: BBC News NI's Business Correspondent Julian O'Neill The BBC understands the plan involves a two-staged approach. First, it would reduce the tariffs paid to around 1,800 people who got into the scheme before November 2015. This would require an Assembly vote to change the tariffs from the new financial year starting in April. Secondly, there would be a public consultation on a longer-term solution. But there remains an acceptance within the Department for the Economy that any moves on tariffs could face a legal challenge. It is understood that a significant number of RHI recipients have told the Department for the Economy they do not wish their names made public. The department had written to them asking for views on their names being released. Mrs Foster and Mr Hamilton have talked of wanting transparency about who benefited. It is believed the department is taking legal advice on its options. The failure of the political parties to find a resolution on how to investigate the failings in the scheme has led to a political crisis at Stormont. Martin McGuinness resigned on Monday as deputy first minister in protest against the botched handling of the scheme and, after Mrs Foster refused to step aside while an investigation was held. Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, Mrs Foster loses her first minister role with the departure of Mr McGuinness. The Sinn Féin MLA's decision to quit is likely to lead to a snap election. The party has seven days to nominate a new deputy first minister, but is adamant it will not replace him. If it chooses not to, then the baton would pass to Secretary of State James Brokenshire who would be legally obliged to call an election. In an effort to avert such a move, the British and Irish governments have pledged to do what they can to resolve the crisis.

Summary: DUP Economy Minister Simon Hamilton has given details of a plan to cut costs associated with the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.


The Sturtridge Pavilion will be replaced by the Barwell Stand, a move which will increase the capacity of Franklin's Gardens by 1,900 to accommodate more than 15,500 people. The all-seater stand will include a new hospitality suite, members' bar and improved disability access. It will be built in time for next season. The Sturtridge Pavilion has been a feature at the ground for 50 years but the club is keen to expand its revenue from match days after operating at an average of 98% capacity during the past five Premiership seasons. The new stand also opens up the possibility of Saints hosting a European Champions Cup quarter-final. To do that, rules state the ground requires a minimum capacity of 15,000.

Summary: Demolition work on a spectator stand has begun at the home of Northampton Saints rugby club.


Konta continued her remarkable run with a 6-4 6-1 win over China's Zhang Shuai in the quarter-finals and next faces German seventh seed Angelique Kerber. Media playback is not supported on this device Fellow Briton Murray saw off Spain's David Ferrer 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 6-3 to reach his sixth Melbourne semi-final. The Scot, seeded second, will play Canada's Milos Raonic on Friday. Raonic, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2014, beat Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4. Konta and Murray have matched the achievement of semi-finalist Sue Barker and runner-up John Lloyd, who both reached the last four at the Australian Open 39 years ago. Murray, 28, won a gruelling quarter-final against eighth seed Ferrer that lasted three hours and 49 minutes. Konta, ranked 47th, is the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Jo Durie made the US Open last four in 1983. Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm just so happy that I'm enjoying what I'm doing," said Konta after her straight-set win over Zhang. "That is me living my dream." Her achievements so far have guaranteed her prize money of at least £370,000 and are likely to secure her a place in the world's top 30. "When I was a little girl, I dreamt of winning grand slams and being number one in the world," she added. "That dream stays the same, I think, as long as you're doing the career that you're on." Konta said she "just wanted to come out and play the best level" she could against Zhang, who was also in uncharted waters. The British number one saw off the Chinese qualifier, ranked 133rd in the world, in one hour and 22 minutes. Konta began confidently, breaking twice and serving superbly as she moved 5-2 clear before overcoming some nerves and a resurgent opponent to clinch the set. After saving a break point that would have made it 5-5 and then converting her sixth set point, the confidence returned and Konta again earned a double-break lead in the second set. With a semi-final place there for the taking, Konta saw two match points slip by but converted the third thanks to a net cord. "To be honest, I was taking it a match at a time," said Konta. "She definitely didn't make it easy for me. "Every time I was ahead, she was constantly there. I'm not proud of the net cord, but I'm happy I was able to fight every point." A Grand Slam final appearance is now a real possibility, arguably more so after Kerber's surprise win over the in-form Victoria Azarenka. Kerber and Konta will meet for the first time in Thursday's second semi-final at around 04:30 GMT. Murray is through to his 18th Grand Slam semi-final, bringing him level with Boris Becker, having dropped just two sets in five matches. The former Wimbledon and US Open champion was made to work hard by Ferrer, but Murray proved the stronger in the third and fourth sets. A three-set win looked possible after he took the opener

Summary: Britain have two Grand Slam singles semi-finalists for the first time since 1977 after victories for Johanna Konta and Andy Murray at the Australian Open.


Martin Godfrey said he had never supplied Tesco and was surprised to find the picture being used on the firm's website. The supermarket chain acquired the image through an agency. A Tesco spokesperson said: "We work tirelessly to support farmers and suppliers and we are sorry for any upset that has been caused." Mr Godfrey, from Okehampton, Devon, said the picture was originally taken when he was working for Shillingford Organics near Exeter, but was later sold on as a stock image. Tesco later got the image through its advertising agency, which acquired it from Getty Images. Mr Godfrey owns an organic produce business and campaigns with the Land Workers' Alliance. He said the picture of him pulling carrots on the organic farm was a "marketing blunder". "This inappropriate use of the organic farming image and myself... was taken whilst working at Shillingford Organics some 10 years ago, which has no connection to Tesco whatsoever," he said. The image has been removed from the supermarket's online promotions, but remains printed in some of its magazines. Tesco has promised not to use the image in future promotions. It has offered to donate Â£1,000 to a local charity, Mr Godfrey said. He said he appreciated the supermarket was "doing something about food waste" and suggested other chains should do the same.

Summary: An organic farmer has persuaded Tesco to take down a photograph of him from its website.


Measuring 50cm x 76cm (19.6in x 30in), it was bought by a Welshman living in England at Rogers Jones & Co auctioneers in Colwyn Bay on Saturday. Its guide price had been £200-£300. The poster features soldiers beside a cannon, with the caption: "Anibyniaeth sydd yn galw am ei dewraf dyn" - or "Independence calls for its bravest man" in English.

Summary: A World War One recruitment poster written in Welsh has sold at a Conwy county auction for £440.


Gen Christophe Gomart told a parliamentary commission in May that a "partner agency" warned of the plot by a Brazilian Islamist militant. No further details were given. Gen Gomart made his comments at a commission hearing into last year's attacks in Paris. The transcript of the hearing has just been made public. Brazil's institutional security cabinet - which oversees the country's information services - told the AFP news agency it had received no information about the threat from the French authorities. "We were not the source of information and the Brazilian intelligence agency (ABIN) was not officially informed either of this matter," a spokesman said. In July, Brazilian Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes said a jihadist attack in Rio during the Olympics was a "possibility" but "not a probability". About 85,000 security force members including 47,000 policemen and 38,000 soldiers will be on duty to ensure the safety of 10,500 athletes and officials, journalists and tourists from around the world who will be expected to attend the 5-21 August Games. A spokesman for a special secretariat at Brazil's Justice Ministry - which is spearheading security efforts for the Olympics - said that Brazilian officials and their foreign partners have increasingly been monitoring communications between suspected sympathisers of radical groups. They have said that the biggest worry is not a co-ordinated attack but a lone actor or group targeting the event. On Tuesday the federal government said it was releasing additional funding to beef up security ahead of the Olympics. Brazil's Sports Minister Leonardo Picciani said the armed forces would get an extra $24m (Â£18m) to help them meet security needs.

Summary: France was informed of a planned terror attack on its team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the head of French military intelligence has said.


The England Knights player made his Tigers debut as a 16-year-old in 2008, and went on to make 44 first-team appearances for them, scoring 16 tries. "I'm looking forward to a new challenge and something a bit different," Arundel told Hull's club website. "I'm really excited and also a little nervous as it's a big club and that will put a bit more pressure on me." Hull FC's director of rugby Shaun McRae added: "We have said since day one that we're trying to build a culture and winning mentality at this club, one that isn't only about now but also about the future. "That's why we're looking at players of Joe's calibre that are not just showing immense promise now but look to have ever greater years ahead of them in their career, not just with Hull FC but England too."

Summary: Hull FC have signed 20-year-old centre Joe Arundel from Castleford Tigers on a four-year contract from 2013.


The 1.8-tonne British bomb was found during construction work. Defusing it is expected to take most of the day. It will be Germany's biggest post-war evacuation for an unexploded bomb, Spiegel news reports. In 2011, 45,000 residents of Koblenz were evacuated. On Sunday there will be little traffic, making the Augsburg job easier. The evacuation will start at 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and could continue into the night, the local news website Augsburger Allgemeine says. The operation will affect 32,000 households living within a 1.5km (0.9 mile) radius of the bomb site. Schools, sports halls and an exhibition centre will accommodate the evacuees. Augsburg is about 80km (50 miles) north-west of Munich. It was heavily bombed during the war. From 1942 to 1945, the Royal Air Force and US bombers carried out massive raids on German cities, often round-the-clock, designed to sap the strength of the Nazi war machine.

Summary: The authorities in Augsburg, southern Germany, plan to evacuate 54,000 people from the city centre on Christmas Day because of a World War Two bomb.


Archery, fencing, weightlifting and wheelchair rugby have also missed out. Cycling - which brought Team GB 12 medals in Rio - has had its funding cut by more than £4m to £25.98m. Badminton England chief executive Adrian Christy said he was "staggered" by the "incomprehensible" decision to remove the sport's funding. A total of £345m will be invested in 31 Olympic and Paralympic sports - £2m less than the record £347m allocated for the Rio Games. As a result, UK Sport has set Team GB a target of winning 51-85 Olympic medals, and 115-162 Paralympic medals in Tokyo. Britain enjoyed unprecedented success at Rio 2016, with the Olympics yielding 67 medals and the Paralympics 147. Chair of UK Sport Rod Carr said the government, which provides funding alongside National Lottery money, has "confirmed its commitment" for Tokyo 2020. He added: "These are critical funding decisions for sports to take them on their journey to Tokyo 2020 and beyond so the historic success at Rio can be maintained." Badminton, which was set a target of winning a medal in Rio, is the only sport that earned a podium place in the summer to have its funding removed. Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge took bronze in the men's doubles after the sport was given £5.74m in the last cycle. Christy said the decision represents a "catastrophic impact on the sport" and Badminton England would "fight for the hopes and dreams" of its players. "How can you return from the best Games for more than a decade, in a year where our players have demonstrated world-class performances and where we can demonstrate the journey to Tokyo is on track, only be to have every penny of investment withdrawn?" he said. "What have we done wrong?" added GB Badminton's performance director Jon Austin. Judo, which was given the same target as badminton and also claimed one bronze medal, has had its funding increased slightly. Liz Nicholl, CEO of UK Sport, said the decision to cut funding was not taken lightly. "We would like to invest in every sport but the reality is we have to prioritise to protect and enhance the medal potential," she said. "If we under-invest across the board then the British teams will ultimately underperform at the Games and medal success will be put at risk." Sports minister Tracey Crouch added: "UK Sport's approach to elite sport has proven successful in Beijing, London and Rio and the ambition to win more medals in Tokyo is a bold one that, if achieved, would mean a sensational summer of sport in 2020." Basketball had its funding withdrawn in 2014 - and handball and volleyball lost theirs in 2012 - but say a UK Sport review last year to build "performance pathways for future success" was supposed to be aimed at such sports. A British Basketball statement, in conjunction with volleyball and handball, said: "It appears that UK Sport has no interest in team sports and in particular refuses to take responsibility for the need to fund their performance development, which was identified in its own

Summary: Badminton is one of five sports to lose all UK Sport funding for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo - after Britain claimed a bronze in the sport in Rio.


Jack Marriott beat two defenders before finishing to put the home side ahead, with Paul Benson adding the second with a low strike after the interval. Marriott got his second of the game after with a composed finish. Aston Villa loanee Callum Robinson pulled a goal back for City, but they lost for the second game in a row. Luton manager John Still: "We played against a good side and said before the game that they're very fluid with the 3-5-2, so we matched up and knew we were going to have to work hard early on to work out their movement. "It's very clever and you can't coach that, you've got to work it out as you go. Once we did that, we exploited their players going forward and the first goal was a classic example of that." Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill: "We were on top then gave away a silly goal, before Aden's (Flint) slipped for the third. By the time that third one goes in, then it's a real uphill struggle. "We needed to get another goal very quickly after we got that first goal in order to be really pushing at the end. We've put enough balls in the box tonight, enough balls across the face of goal, but we need to be putting those chances away."

Summary: League Two side Luton moved into the second round of the League Cup with victory over Championship newcomers Bristol City.


As the duo perform live in Stockholm on Saturday night, they will be cheered on by Joe Woolford's friends and family in Ruthin, Denbighshire. A party has been organised by his uncle where locals can watch the contest on a giant screen. Geraint Woolford said the town was "buzzing" about the contest. Joe, 21, will performing You're Not Alone with Jake Shakeshaft, 20, from Stoke-on-Trent in the annual competition. Both singers were former contestants on The Voice UK. Joe's family, including his mother Ffion, stepfather Krino Pab, father Alun Jones, sister Misha and younger brother Zac are flying to Sweden to join the 16,000-strong audience watching the final in the city's Globe Arena. An estimated worldwide TV audience of 200 million viewers is also expected to tune in. Mr Woolford, a local councillor, said: "We're all very proud of him. Everyone is talking about it... and he's really putting Ruthin on the map internationally. "A lot of us would have liked to have travelled to Stockholm to be there with him, but it's just too expensive, with ticket prices ranging from Â£350 to Â£2,500. "But we'll have a real celebration ourselves, especially if Joe and Jake win." Joe's mother, Ffion Woolford, added: "I've only managed to speak to him for a brief time this week because he's so busy with rehearsals. "He's incredibly excited and really looking forward to the contest. The arena where he'll be singing is vast, but we're sure we'll do well and I'm looking forward to being there to support him." Speaking ahead of the event, Joe and Jake said they were quietly confident their song could do well - despite the UK's recent track record. We've done a lot of preparation, we've been rehearsing non-stop, we've been practising movement, we've been running in and out of the studio," Joe said. "We want to get a good result for the UK." The Eurovision final is on BBC One on Saturday 14 May at 20:00 BST.

Summary: They may be carrying the UK's hopes of success at Eurovision but Joe and Jake will have strong support from the home town of one of the singers.


Clubs are required to provide accurate details of training sessions and player whereabouts so they are available for testing at all times. City failed to ensure their information was accurate on three occasions. It is understood the information was not updated following a change to training routines. The punishment was imposed following an independent regulatory commission hearing, with the club also warned about future conduct.

Summary: Manchester City have been fined £35,000 after admitting a breach of the Football Association's anti-doping rules, the governing body has said.


Scott, whose victory chances were hit by a mechanical failure in the second race on Friday, came fourth in the medal race to claim silver overall. Tom Squires won RS:X windsurfing gold after coming second in the final race. Olympic silver medallist Luke Patience finished fourth in the men's 470 with new crew Chris Gruber. Patience, who won silver at London 2012 with Stuart Bithell, needs to re-qualify for this summer's Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro after first-choice partner Elliot Willis was forced to withdraw from the squad to undergo treatment for bowel cancer. New Zealand's Josh Junior claimed Finn gold after defending champion Scott, 28, who won the opening race in Palma, fell out of contention after his rudder pinned on the first lap of the second race.

Summary: Three-time world champion Giles Scott won silver in the Finn class on the final day of the Trofeo Princess Sofia in Palma de Majorca.


3 November 2014 Last updated at 08:42 GMT Air safety investigators say the device, designed to slow down the craft, activated at the wrong time without a command from the pilots. But they say it's too soon to determine the exact cause of the crash and it may take as long as a year to carry out the investigation. Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two, crashed during a test run over the desert in California. One pilot was killed and another is recovering in hospital. Virgin Galactic had aimed to send tourists into space early next year, and has already taken more than 700 flight bookings costing more than Â£156,000 each.

Summary: An investigation into what caused a spacecraft to crash, has said that a safety device activating at the wrong time, could have been the reason.


The hurlers of Ruairí Óg Cushendall have been backed to "bring home" an All-Ireland title by Hollywood hero Liam Neeson. The club, based in Neeson's native County Antrim, will take on Na Piarsaigh of County Limerick in the senior club final in Dublin on St Patrick's Day. The Taken star won a schools' hurling crown with St Patrick's College in his hometown Ballymena back in 1966. And he proved he hasn't lost his touch in the short video clip, catching a sliotar, the small leather ball used in the game, before sending it into the distance as he roared on the Ruairís. The All-Ireland club hurling final will be live on the BBC Sport website and BBC Radio Ulster 1341MW from 13:30 GMT on Thursday 17 March.

Summary: It is a sight that would surely strike fear into even the most battle-hardened opponent.


Media playback is not supported on this device The Briton only needed one set to reach the last four, but beat the Swiss 6-4 6-2 to top the John McEnroe Group. Murray extended his winning streak to 22 matches and goes on to face Milos Raonic at 14:00 GMT on Saturday. Serb Novak Djokovic faces Japan's Kei Nishikori in the other semi at 20:00. Djokovic also won all three of his group matches, and Murray must at least match his results at the O2 Arena to end the year at the top of the rankings. In the last group match of the tournament, Croat Marin Cilic defeated Japan's world number five Nishikori 3-6 6-2 6-3. Cilic's win means he will replace Frenchman Gael Monfils to become the new world number six. Murray withstood an early barrage of winners from Wawrinka before taking a grip on the match midway through the first set. "The first set was tight. There weren't many chances," said Murray, 29. "I managed to get the break late in the set. In the second set I'd already qualified for the semis, so maybe it was easier for me to play more free than him." The Scot knew he only required one set, while Wawrinka was really in need of a straight-set victory, lending the contest an added air of tension from even the early stages. A healthy contingent of Swiss fans among the 16,000 spectators added to an atmosphere more akin to the latter stages of a Grand Slam. Wawrinka, 31, blasted four winners in the opening game but could not make the breakthrough and Murray capitalised in game seven. A loose backhand gave Murray a break point and when the Swiss failed to put away a forehand pass, the Wimbledon champion pounced at the net - prompting Wawrinka to smash his racquet in anger. Murray could have been forgiven for a few nerves when three set points then slipped by on the Wawrinka serve, but he served out calmly in the following game and qualification was secure. Wawrinka framed a forehand to drop serve at the start of the second and his challenge was all but over, as Murray raced 4-0 clear and closed it out after one hour and 26 minutes. Murray's 22-match winning run equals the career-best effort he set earlier this year from Queen's Club in June to Cincinnati in August. During that run he beat Raonic in the Queen's and Wimbledon finals, and he has since had another win over the Canadian in Cincinnati. Raonic, seeded fourth, won two of his three group matches in London, only losing a tight two-set match against Djokovic. "He's played very well in this event," said Murray, who has won his last eight in a row against Raonic. "These are quick conditions here and it'll be tough. "He's got a huge serve. It's an amazing stadium and atmosphere."

Summary: Andy Murray qualified for the semi-finals and stayed on track to retain the world number one ranking with victory over Stan Wawrinka at the ATP World Tour Finals.


The new westbound section of the M8 between Newhouse and Baillieston opened a week ahead of schedule. The eastbound section is due to open next weekend. Commuters on the M8 and A8 have faced major disruption for the past nine weeks as the finishing touches were put to the new carriageway. It means the entire stretch between Edinburgh and Glasgow is now motorway. The works were the latest stage in the Â£500m M8, M73 and M74 motorway improvements project. Transport Scotland said the new road would cut journey times at peak times by about 20 minutes.

Summary: The so-called missing link of Scotland's busiest motorway has opened to traffic.


Gareth Colfer-Williams, 25, died last week at his home in Swansea, the city at the centre of an epidemic of the disease which has reached 942 cases. But the examination was unable to establish whether measles was the main cause of his death. An inquest will be opened and adjourned on Tuesday to allow further tests. Since the outbreak began in November, 83 people have needed hospital treatment for the illness. Mr Colfer-Williams' mother, Angela Colfer said her son had recently been treated at Swansea's Morriston Hospital for asthma. A few days after he was discharged he became unwell and developed a rash. Mrs Colfer said her son went to see an out-of-hours GP on 17 April with a rash "from head to foot" but not on his arms. The following morning, Mr Colfer-Williams was found dead at his flat. Public Health Wales said on Friday that laboratory tests confirmed a diagnosis of measles but further tests were needed to determine the cause of death. The family said they had no idea how Mr Colfer-Williams got measles as no close family member has it, including his three-year-old daughter who has been vaccinated.

Summary: Further tests will be carried out on a man who died while suffering from measles after post-mortem examination results were inconclusive.


The only French side in Super League had lost their last five matches in a row including the 18-10 late defeat by Huddersfield at Magic Weekend. Frayssinous, 40, is a former Catalans and France stand-off who became the first French coach of the club when he replaced Trent Robinson in 2012. Coaches Jerome Guisset and Michael Monaghan and general manager Alex Chan will take charge of the first team.

Summary: Catalans Dragons have parted company with head coach Laurent Frayssinous.


Alexander sustained a broken cheekbone in the last week's victory over former club Rangers. And Gallacher twisted his ankle in training, making him a doubt for Sunday's Edinburgh derby with Hibernian at Tynecastle. Hollis, 28, spent four seasons at Well after a six-year spell with Airdrie. He became a free agent after leaving Motherwell this summer. "I said earlier in the week that we would be looking at the situation after Neil's injury," Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson told his club website. "Lee's an experienced goalkeeper and has spent the last few seasons with Motherwell and has played in Europe for them."

Summary: Hearts have signed former Motherwell goalkeeper Lee Hollis on a short-term deal following injuries to Neil Alexander and Scott Gallagher.

Armstrong, 43, was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from sport for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in August 2012. "If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to," he said. "If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again." Speaking in his first television interview since confessing to Oprah Winfrey that he had used performance-enhancing drugs during his career, Armstrong tells BBC sports editor Dan Roan: Armstrong had been the subject of doping allegations since he returned from cancer in 1996 to dominate one of the world's toughest events from 1999 to 2005. He aggressively denied the claims until Usada's 200-page "reasoned decision" - complete with 1,000 additional pages of evidence - was released in October 2012. Armstrong finally confessed in a two-part interview with US talk-show host Winfrey in January, 2013. He was forced to step away from the cancer charity he had founded and has since kept his counsel, save for a handful of print interviews. Speaking in his hometown of Austin, Texas, Armstrong said "the fallout" from his confession had been "heavy, tough, trying and required patience". The father-of-five said his life had "thinned out" and "slowed from 100mph to 10", but added he would like to return to "50, 55". As for whether the world was ready to accept his return to public life, Armstrong said: "Selfishly, I would say 'yeah, we're getting close to that time'. "But that's me, my word doesn't matter any more. What matters is what people collectively think, whether that's the cycling community, the cancer community. "Listen, of course I want to be out of timeout, what kid doesn't?" Armstrong was asked if he would make the same choice to cheat that he made in 1995. He said: "When I made the decision, when my team made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision, it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. "But it happened. And I know what happened because of that. I know what happened to the sport, I saw its growth." Armstrong said sales at his bicycle supplier Trek Bicycles went from $100m (£66.5m) to $1bn and his charity foundation went from "raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people". He added: "Do we want to take it away? I don't think anybody says 'yes'." Armstrong did admit to "unacceptable and inexcusable" behaviour towards other people during his career. Former rider Filippo Simeoni angered Armstrong by testifying against his coach/doctor, Michele Ferrari, in a 2002 Italian doping case. The American called him a liar and denied the Italian a stage win in the 2004 Tour. Armstrong also responded with legal threats and personal smears when Emma O'Reilly, a masseuse at his US Postal team, provided some of the earliest details on his doping. "I would want to change the man that

Summary: Shamed cyclist Lance Armstrong believes the time is coming when he should be forgiven for doping and lying - and told the BBC he would probably do it again.


Rod Ashley, chief executive of Glasgow-based Scotwest, will succeed Jim Lindsay who is retiring at the end of the year after 13 years at the helm. Mr Ashley will take up the post in January. Mr Lindsay will continue to act for Airdrie Savings Bank in a consultancy role in early 2013 during a handover period Scotwest serves around 30,000 people and its asset base has grown by 400% since Mr Ashley took over in 1996. Mr Ashley, who sits on the council and audit committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, said he was excited by the prospect of leading Britain's only independent savings bank "to a new future". He added: "Scotwest provides a community-based financial service to those working or living in the West of Scotland. "I am privileged to have overseen the significant growth of its services, and as I move on to Airdrie Savings Bank, I am looking forward to the prospect of a new challenge." Mr Ashley joins the bank just 12 months after it opened its first branch outside its Lanarkshire heartland. The branch in Falkirk was heralded as the first stage in an expansion plan. The bank said it was continuing to evaluate the success of Falkirk with a view to further expansion in the future.

Summary: The head of one of the UK's largest credit unions is to become chief executive of Airdrie Savings Bank.


The Age UK review identified more than three million people aged over 65 with a care need, but found just two-thirds of them were actually getting help. The charity warned that the lack of support for the ageing population was risking their health. But ministers said steps were being taken to provide more help. The review used official data and existing research to identify how many people were struggling with everyday tasks and how many were getting help. There are 10 million people over the age of 65 in England, the review said, and more than 3 million struggle with tasks such as washing, dressing, eating and going to the toilet. Just over one million pay for care or rely on family and friends with another 850,000 supported by their local councils. But that leaves another one million who have to fend for themselves. The report also warned that community NHS services and GPs were struggling to meet demand from the ageing population. And Age UK warned there were signs this was affecting the health of older people. It cited an 88% rise in hospital admissions for urinary tract infections among the over-75s between 2005-06 and 2013-14 to 4,173 per 100,000. Meanwhile, admissions for pneumonia among the over-60s have more than doubled over the same period to 2,621 per 100,000. Age UK charity director Caroline Abrahams said it was a "destructive vicious circle" where the lack of support was worsening the health of the most vulnerable older people in society. "If an older person asked us today how confident we were that their health and care needs will be met well in the future we would be whistling in the dark if we gave a wholly reassuring answer." But a Department of Health spokeswoman said "significant action" was being taken to improve the support given to older people. She pointed out that all over-75s should now have a named GP to co-ordinate their care, while a Â£5.3bn pot of money - mainly from NHS funds - has been set aside this year for joint projects between councils and health services.

Summary: A million older people in England struggling with everyday tasks, such as washing and dressing, are being left to fend for themselves, campaigners say.


Didn't MPs vote against bombing Syria a couple of years ago? In the last few days haven't the prime minister and the chancellor made clear they would only take military action in Syria if there was a consensus here in the UK? In any case, isn't it entirely unusual, almost unheard of in modern times, for British military action to take the life of a British citizen? The answer to all three of those questions is yes. But just a couple of weeks ago, an unmanned British Reaper drone did drop a missile on a group of so-called IS fighters in Syria that killed two British citizens. One, the target, Reyaad Khan, was according to David Cameron involved in plotting a barbaric attack on British soil. In the PM's view and, he says, the view of the government's most senior lawyer - the attorney general - that made the attack entirely proper and legal. "There was a terrorist directing murder on our streets and no other means to stop him," the PM said. Although we've been told repeatedly British drones have been flying over Syria to carry out surveillance, in the small print the government always retained the right to act in extremis without specific permission from MPs. For Number 10, that action is distinct from its decision on whether to take military action and have RAF pilots join US forces flying bombing missions over Syria. The prime minister still wants to persuade MPs to back that plan this autumn, although a vote is unlikely until after the party conference season wraps up. But this strike does add a sense of urgency to those making the arguments for intervention - a reminder that so-called IS plan and plot in Syria, that the direct threat to the UK is real and getting more serious. But there are calls tonight from opposition politicians for more information and reassurance on the particular circumstances around this attack, accusations already that the strike is evidence of British "mission creep". As the operation appears to have been led by intelligence the truth is we may never know what really happened, what the precise circumstances were. But the fact that we know a British plane has dropped a British bomb in Syria, on British citizens may mean, earlier than expected, the battle lines in this debate are drawn.

Summary: You might be surprised by this afternoon's news that British bombing killed British nationals in Syria in the last few weeks.


Chase signed for Tigers until the end of the season on Saturday, having left Championship side Leigh in May. The 30-year-old played for Tigers between 2009 and 2013, before leaving to join Salford Red Devils. "I'm not match fit because I've had some time off, but mentally I'm in the best shape I've ever been," he said. "Physically I've got a bit of work to do but you can get through anything if you're mentally right. There's some hard work to do, I'm aware of that, but I'm looking forward to it." Chase also praised the Rugby Football League (RFL) for the support they offer players who are struggling with mental health-related issues. "It's massive and it's a credit to the RFL that they touch on it because a lot of the boys struggle with it," Chase said. "People should be aware of it because a lot of us boys have to go through a lot of things and we put on this bravado that we're OK. It's not something that people like talking openly about because you feel weak and vulnerable. "But really we go home and we feel alone. It's good to get the message out there that it does happen in our game, a lot of people do suffer from depression. "When you are in that dark place, you feel weak and vulnerable, you just have a lot of down days and it's not nice. But when you come through it, it's an unbelievable feeling. You feel strong."

Summary: Former England half-back Rangi Chase says he is "back in love" with rugby league after rejoining Castleford following a fight with depression.


Thanet District Council said it was considering a 2% rise in the authority's part of the council tax. Councillor Rick Everitt, cabinet member for finance, said the council had seen a 28% reduction in government funding over the past two years. "Further cuts to the council purse are really unwelcome," he said. The council said figures from the Department of Communities and Local Government showed the council was likely to be left short of £580,000 for the next financial year. Mr Everitt said: "Having already suffered a reduction of 28% in government funding over the past two years, resources are stretched to the absolute limit. "This additional reduction of over half a million pounds has forced us into a corner." From Monday, the council will be asking for residents' views on which services should be a priority. The council said final figures were expected in December and would be debated at a meeting in January.

Summary: A Kent council claims it is being "forced into a corner" as proposed cuts to government grants could leave a shortfall of more than £500,000.


The Dolomedes plantarius spiderlings were released into suitable dykes at Castle Marshes between Lowestoft and Beccles on Wednesday. About 4mm, they are hybrids between species found in Sussex and Suffolk. The 1,600 spiderlings were hand-reared in the kitchen of project leader Dr Helen Smith, with the surplus reared at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. Dr Smith said: "The hybrids bring the advantage of increased genetic variability to the new population. "This... should give the new population at Castle Marshes the best potential to adapt to its surroundings and to cope with the impacts of climate change." The project was organised by Natural England and Suffolk Wildlife Trust and was aided by a grant from the BBC Wildlife Fund.

Summary: More than 1,000 young spiders from a hybrid species have been released into the Suffolk broads.


An administration oversight allowed US student Sanmay Ved to buy the right to control the domain on 29 September. The oversight left him in charge of Google.com for about a minute until Google caught on and cancelled the transaction. Now Mr Ved has been given a cash reward for spotting the error, which he has decided to donate to charity. Google declined to comment on the story. Mr Ved detailed his experience in a post on the LinkedIn site saying that he had been keeping an eye on Google-related web domains for some time because he used to work at the search giant. Mr Ved is currently an MBA student at a US college. In the early hours of 29 September he noticed a for sale sign next to the Google.com name while browsing sites on Google's own website-buying service. He used a credit card to pay the $12 (Â£8) fee to grab google.com and got emails confirming he was the owner. Almost immediately he started getting messages intended for Google's own web administration team. This was followed by a cancellation message sent by the website buying service which said he could not take over Google.com because someone else had already registered it and his $12 payment was refunded. Now it has emerged that Mr Ved has been given a "bug bounty" by Google's security team for revealing the weakness in the domain buying system. The internal emails Mr Ved received while in charge of google.com have been passed to this team. Mr Ved decided to give the cash to an Indian educational foundation and in response, Google doubled the reward.

Summary: A man who briefly bought and owned the Google.com web domain has been rewarded by the search giant.


Grimsby striker Bogle saw his curling, left-footed free-kick tipped over the crossbar by Jamie Stephens before he opened the scoring after he burst past two defenders and had his shot deflected off Elliot Johnson and into the net. And he doubled the lead 10 minutes before the interval when a mistake by Harry Taylor allowed Bogle to run free and beat Stephens. The Bees got themselves back into the game in the 50th minute when Akinde burst into the box and was brought down by Josh Gowling. Akinde picked himself up to dispatch the penalty past James McKeown. Akinde then levelled from the spot five minutes later after Danny Collins fouled Curtis Weston. Ryan Watson then squandered two chances to win it for Barnet before the late drama. Barnet were reduced to 10 men in the 90th minute when Ali Sesay, who had only been on the pitch for five minutes, was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Scott Vernon. Grimsby were then given a golden chance to win it two minutes into stoppage time when Michael Nelson brought down Gowling, but Bogle sent his spot-kick over the bar.

Police say they broke up the crowd of about 150 in the suburb of Ferguson after being called to the scene of a disturbance after the curfew started. A police car reportedly came under fire and a person was hurt in an apparently unrelated shooting in the same area. Black teenager Michael Brown was shot by a white policeman on 9 August. The shooting of the 18-year-old as he walked down a street drew allegations of police brutality among people in the mainly black suburb of Ferguson. A riot erupted on Friday night, with local stores targeted by looters, after police named the officer who shot Mr Brown and also released CCTV from a shop where he apparently stole a pack of cigars and intimidated the owner just before his death. A five-hour curfew, running from midnight (05:00 GMT), was imposed in response. US civil rights leader Al Sharpton has said a peaceful rally, led by Michael Brown's family, is planned for later on Sunday. The teenager's killing caused dismay across the US, with peaceful nationwide vigils held on Thursday night, while images of riot police deployed in an American city suburb have made headlines worldwide. Seven arrests were made when police moved to break up the protest at a barbecue restaurant. Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, who was put in charge of bringing calm back to Ferguson, said police had moved in after receiving a report of people breaking into the restaurant and climbing on to the roof. As police were nearing the restaurant, a man with a handgun went into the street but ran away, AP news agency reports. Someone also shot at a police car but it was not clear if it had been hit. In the same area, a person was shot and critically wounded and police were searching for the attacker. Demonstrators complained that the curfew would make matters worse. As police prepared to move on the protesters during the night, a chant of "No justice! No curfew!" could be heard from the crowd, followed by "We have the right to assemble peacefully". Jayson Ross, who was leading the protesters toward the police before tear gas was fired, was quoted as saying by AP: "They got guns. We got guns. We are ready." Local politician Antonio French, who was with the protesters, tweeted to say: "Too many young men talking about they're ready to die tonight." Governor Jay Nixon said he would not allow a handful of looters to endanger the community. "This is a test," he said. "The eyes of the world are watching. We cannot allow the ill will of the few to undermine the good will of the many." The US justice department is investigating the shooting of Mr Brown, with 40 FBI agents dispatched to Ferguson to gather information. Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson revealed on Friday that the officer who shot Mr Brown was Darren Wilson, a six-year police veteran with no previous complaints against him. Mr Wilson has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting. Commenting on the CCTV footage that

Attacking midfielder Christensen, 22, has played more than 50 games for the London side, but has not started a Championship match this season. Striker Woodrow, 22, has only started one league match but scored twice in the EFL Cup against Leyton Orient. Both players are available to face QPR on Saturday. Brewers manager Nigel Clough said: "Lasse has a good season or so under his belt in the Championship. He's been a bit unlucky not to feature much this season, but they see him in their long-term plans and it will help him to play for us. "Cauley is one to add to our striking options. With Luke Varney out for four to six weeks and Will Miller's hamstring injury, it was important to get another striker in."

Summary: Burton Albion have signed Lasse Vigen Christensen and Cauley Woodrow on loan from Championship rivals Fulham until the end of the season.


The Kidman cattle empire is Australia's largest landholding, encompassing some of the driest and toughest country Australia has to offer. Its story begins in the 1890s with Sir Sidney Kidman and his elder brother Sackville, who embarked on an ambitious venture that would transform agriculture in Australia. The two brothers wanted to grow livestock in the country's dry centre, supported by Queensland's channel country rivers - the Georgina, the Diamantina and Cooper Creek. The plan was that tropical rain from the north would deliver water needed for farming to flourish in this harsh environment. The Kidmans' ambition, wrote biographer Jill Bowman, was to establish "a chain of stations that were almost drought-proof, places that when linked together would provide a substantial water supply". Sackville Kidman died in 1899, but Sidney turned their dream into reality, founding the company S. Kidman & Co the same year. Today the business encompasses 19 properties across the Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. It owns 101,411 sq km (39,155 sq miles) of land in total - that's more than 1% of Australia's land mass and larger than Ireland. One of its properties is Anna Creek, the world's biggest cattle station, which stretches across 23,677 sq km. The Kidman family has owned and managed the business for 116 years. But in April this year it was put on sale for a projected sum of A$325m ($232m; Â£152.3m). On Thursday however Australia's government decided to block the sale to foreign investors. Selling so much of Australia's outback to foreigners would be against the national interest, Treasurer Scott Morrison said. His reasoning? Part of property is inside the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA), a military weapons testing range in South Australia. The country's prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said the sale was blocked on national interest grounds and there was no discrimination against any particular buyer. About Sir Sidney Kidman Kidman & Co's business focus has long been on growing grass-fed beef for domestic and international markets. Headquartered in Adelaide, the firm says it supplies about 15,000 tonnes of beef carcass every year to markets around the world. It is not clear if prospective buyers would maintain this focus, but there's no argument they would enter Australia's agricultural scene at a pivotal time. As the mining boom subsides and the country looks elsewhere for economic growth, the business of farming the country's vast land for meat and other agricultural commodities has never been more important. Mr Morrison indicated that the government may be willing to see Kidman broken for sale. So foreign investors may yet possess at least some of its vast cattle empire. Simon Talbot, head of the National Farmers Federation, told the BBC that opening up agricultural growth in northern Australian areas couldn't be done without foreign investment. Even where large agricultural properties were foreign owned, the produce grown on them needed be transported using Australian infrastructure and jobs would be generated for Australian workers, he explained. "People are starting to realise that as the mining boom is over, agriculture could become the next pillar of the

Summary: Two Chinese conglomerates were the last standing in a bidding war to buy an extraordinarily large slice of Australia and its pastoral history in November.


Keith Stewart found that the loch goes to a depth of 889ft (270.9m) on sonar equipment he uses. The official maximum depth on the current chart for Loch Ness is 754ft (229.8m). But the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), which is responsible for the official measurements, said it has no plans to resurvey the loch. Mr Stewart's discovery has been dubbed a new hiding place for the loch's mythical monster, Nessie. The MCA is responsible for mapping the sea and deep lochs and lakes around the UK. It does this in order to maintain British Admiralty charts under the UK Civil Hydrography Programme. An MCA spokeswoman said: "We currently have no plans to resurvey Loch Ness."

Summary: A tour boat skipper has recorded a new deepest point in Loch Ness on his vessel's equipment.

The European Commission says it is Europe's most comprehensive study so far of bee colony deaths. Winter mortality was especially high for bees in Belgium (33.6%) and the UK (29%) in 2012-13. But in spring-summer 2013 France was highest with 13.6%. Bumblebees and other wild bees were not studied, nor were pesticide impacts. The study, called Epilobee, described 10% as an acceptable threshold for bee colony mortality - and Greece, Italy and Spain were among the countries with rates below that threshold. The mortality percentages are national estimates based on representative samples. All 17 countries applied the same data collection standards, the report says. The survey covered almost 32,000 bee colonies. But there is also much concern about death rates among wild bees, which are vital pollinators too. Last year the EU introduced a ban on four chemicals called neonicotinoids which are used in pesticides. They are believed to be linked to the collapse of bee colonies across Europe, though there is a heated scientific debate over the chemicals' impact and many experts say further studies are needed. The Commission wanted pesticide impacts to be included in the Epilobee study, but it was overruled by member states' governments.

Summary: A new study covering 17 EU countries says that far more honeybees are dying in the UK and other parts of northern Europe than in Mediterranean countries.


Fire crews were called to the property in Lon Tanyrallt, Alltwen, near Pontardawe, at 01:40 BST on Wednesday. Jac Davies was rescued from an upstairs bedroom but died at the scene. His three-year-old brother was also rescued and taken to Swansea's Morriston Hospital along with his sister, six, an 11-month-old brother and their mother who had all managed to escape the blaze. They were all suffering from suspected smoke inhalation which is not thought to be life-threatening. In a tribute, his mother, Jennifer Davies, said in a statement: "My big, handsome blue-eyed boy - you're my life, my world, my everything and will never, ever forget you. "Go ride your train up to heaven and wait for me. "Kelsey, Riley and Andrew will always remember you." Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said Ms Davies, called for help and neighbours tried to get in to help the stranded children. The cause of the blaze is being investigated by the police and fire service. Chris Margetts, senior operations manager for the fire service, described the blaze as "very severe" but said smoke detectors may have raised the alarm. He added: "It is a very close community, and specialist teams from the fire and rescue service will be working with the community in the coming days." Outside the family home, visibly shocked neighbours stood in the street with their hands over their mouths, trying to make sense of the tragedy. One woman was consoled by a police officer as she laid a floral tribute at the scene along with two teddy bears. A card left with some flowers said: "To Jack. So sad to hear you are sadly gone. Harry will miss you, seeing you smile and playing with you at school. Gone too young." South Wales Police Det Ch Insp Esyr Jones, of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot CID, said: "I would like any witnesses or anyone involved at the scene who have not yet spoken to police to come forward with any information they may have."

Summary: A four-year-old boy has died following a fire at a house in Neath Port Talbot.


Ardit Ferizi from Kosovo pleaded guilty to charges of providing material support to America's enemies, at a court hearing in Virginia. The computer hacker shared the personal data of more than 1,000 American military and government personnel. The jail term imposed by the US court is the maximum sentence for his crime. Ferizi, who was known online as Th3Dir3ctorY, was arrested in Malaysia in October 2015 and extradited to the US in January this year. Speaking after the verdict, US Assistant Attorney General John Carlin described the attack as carrying a very real and dangerous threat to US national security. In a statement in June, the US Department of Justice said the case was the first of its kind and represented "the nexus of the terror and cyber-threats". It said Ferizi handed the list to IS knowing it could incite the group to attack the individuals named in it. Information about the names, email addresses, passwords, locations and phone numbers for about 1,350 military personnel and federal staff came from several servers that Ferizi hacked into. He targeted both machines in US government offices and corporate computers. After he has served his sentence, he will be deported to Kosovo and barred from re-entering the US.

Summary: A 21-year-old has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the US after passing details on American military personnel to so-called Islamic State (IS).


It is hoped the RNLI camera will reduce the number of launches at Porthcawl, in Bridgend county, which had the second highest number for Wales in 2015. The camera looks out towards the town's pier from the lifeboat station. The location is also notorious for crashing waves that can risk sweeping people out to sea. Ian Stroud from Porthcawl RNLI is their former deputy launch authoriser. He said: "One of the most significant tasks a lifeboat station must undertake is observing sea conditions to make judgements on the equipment lifeboat operators will need. "We wanted a view of the pier as it is such an important landmark. This is viewable by members of the public, who can alert the lifeboat station if they see someone in distress." The camera was supplied by Swansea-based PC-1 and Axis Communications. PC-1's online project manager Graham Thomas said: "We installed a weather station and connected the installation to YouTube, allowing the public and lifeboat staff to view real-time images and accurate weather reports - including tide times. "The station will soon receive a superfast fibre connection, allowing for a further upgrade of the system to take full advantage of the camera's HD capabilities. "We can then look at running an additional camera; one looking at the pier and another focusing on the coastal defence where waves crash up to 300 feet in the air."

Summary: One of Wales' busiest lifeboat callout hotspots has had a monitoring camera installed to warn the public of dangerous sea conditions.


A shocking claim, based on figures from the Office of National Statistics. The data for England and Wales shows that in 2015, hunger and/or dehydration were a factor in 828 patient deaths in hospitals and care homes. But that doesn't mean all of these patients starved to death or died of thirst, experts at the ONS were quick to point out when I spoke with them about it. Malnutrition may be recorded on the death certificate as a factor contributing directly to a death when it was a complication of a different underlying cause, such as cancer of the stomach, for example. If you are very sick, it might not be feasible or desirable to eat and drink. Having a disease such as advanced cancer can cause malnutrition. That's not to say that patients who are terminally ill should have fluid and nutrients withheld. On the contrary, guidelines make it clear that even if a patient can't eat or drink they should still be provided for. They were drawn up after reports revealed some patients at the end of life were being denied this basic right when they were put on a care protocol called the Liverpool Care Pathway. The LCP was scrapped in 2015 after relatives complained that their loved ones had been put on it without their knowledge and denied fluids, which hastened their deaths. Another dark period in history for the NHS was the Stafford Hospital Scandal, where hundreds of patients died amid appalling levels of care between 2005 and 2009. An inquiry identified terrible and unnecessary suffering, including examples where patients had been provided with food and drink, but it had been left out of their reach. Joan Morris, 83, was admitted to Stafford Hospital in December 2006 with a chest infection. Her family said that food and water had been left on a table instead of being given to her. Another patient, Tom Wilhelms, resorted to drinking from a vase. In response to the Francis Inquiry into the failings at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the government published new hospital standards including around nutritional and hydration care. And it asked the Care Quality Commission to make sure that the hospitals and care homes it inspected were following these standards. The CQC's first dedicated review was in 2012. It inspected 500 care homes and 50 hospitals in England and found 83% of care homes and 88% of hospitals it inspected met people's nutritional needs, which means patients were provided a suitable choice of food and drink and given help to eat and drink when they needed it. It says this shows things have improved. Prof Sir Mike Richards, CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said: "We expect the food provided to be nutritious, to meet people's dietary requirements, and for this to be included as part of patients care planning while in hospital, and we look closely at this on our inspections. Where we find this is not happening or identify concerns that people's nutritional needs are not being met we take action and have a range of enforcement

Summary: The Sun newspaper on Monday carries the headline "Kill by mouth: Two die in NHS each day of thirst or starvation".


1 December 2016 Last updated at 00:23 GMT The BBC News website asked the independent Money Advice Service to deliver a calendar of month-by-month tips for those trying to keep their personal finances in order.

Summary: Building up a savings buffer is one financial goal that should be considered as a new year approaches, an expert says.


Since late November, Scotland's five mountain resorts have attracted 373,782 customers. The ski season is estimated to have attracted £37.5m into the local economy. With fresh snow on the slopes, CairnGorm Mountain expects skiing during the first weekend of June. Recent figures from Ski Scotland showed that this season's figures were better than the last bumper season of 2000-2001. Chair of Ski Scotland Heather Negus said: "All winter, we realised we were heading for a great season. "We had hoped to match the figure for 2001, but didn't realise we had beaten it until recently, when everything was added up - and of course, CairnGorm Mountain is still operating, so we're still counting." It is estimated that for every pound spent on the slopes another £3 is spent in the local economy with more than £28m being spent this winter in local accommodation, cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and filling stations. Ms Negus added: "All the ski areas have been delighted to see other local businesses thriving this winter. "Everything really came together for us - we had lots and lots of superb snow, which kept on coming, some truly amazing overhead weather giving 'bluebird' conditions, and, because there was also snow elsewhere in the UK, people realised that the Scottish Highlands did have skiing and snow boarding to rival the best and they came here to enjoy it."

Summary: Skiing on Scotland's snow slopes looks set to continue into the summer month of June as new figures reveal the best season in 14 years.


Royal Berkshire Fire Authority announced on Tuesday it would close Pangbourne station as part of plans to help it save £1.4m. In the public consultation, the closure of Pangbourne station was the most popular option. The closure of Wargrave station in Wokingham Borough was deferred for a year, but Pangbourne station in West Berkshire is to close permanently. The Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service said there was a possibility Wargrave station could close if funding was not found elsewhere and if the station, which is currently manned part-time by retained firefighters, did not increase its availability from 2.4% to 60%. West Berkshire Conservative councillor Emma Webster - who sits on the fire authority, said: "I understand the concerns raised by residents and the local community. "I think the most important thing that people need to remember is that residents across the whole of Berkshire will remain safe. "If they need to dial 999 they will get the service they expect in a prompt and timely manner to assist them in their hour of need."

Summary: Plans have been announced to close a fire station in Berkshire.

Summary: The death of a woman whose body was found in her home in County Down is being treated as suspicious.


The 18-year-old, who can play as a striker or winger, spent the first half of the campaign on loan with Town's League One rivals Oxford United. Oxford were keen to extend the deal for the entire season, but the Wales Under-19 international has opted instead to move to Shropshire. He has scored twice for Oxford this term, both in knockout competitions. Roberts, who has made 14 substitute appearances in League One this season, made his Albion debut as a 17-year-old on the final day of last season as a 73rd-minute substitute in the 1-1 home draw with Liverpool.

Summary: Shrewsbury Town have signed West Bromwich Albion teenager Tyler Roberts on loan for the rest of the season.


The prime minister has invited his German counterpart for a working dinner at his country residence, Chequers. The wide-ranging talks also cover the threat of so-called Islamic State, the situation in Iraq and Ukraine. Mr Cameron earlier welcomed Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas to Downing Street for bilateral talks. The meetings with his European counterparts come on the day that a new campaign to get the UK to leave the European Union is being launched ahead of the in-out referendum, promised by 2017. Vote Leave, made up of Conservative, Labour and UKIP MPs and donors, says it wants to negotiate a new deal based on free trade and friendly co-operation. Mr Cameron has pledged to reform Britain's relationship with the EU before holding a vote on membership and will discuss his aims with Mrs Merkel as part of his continuing negotiations with European leaders. The pair will also discuss the migrant crisis affecting Europe, as European countries continue to struggle to cope with the influx of people reaching the continent from the Middle East and Africa. Russia's bombing campaign in Syria is also likely to be raised at the meeting, as concerns grow about Moscow's involvement in the war-torn country - as well as its backing for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. During talks with the PM at Downing Street, Estonian Prime Minister Mr Roivas thanked Mr Cameron for the UK's commitment to send 100 British military personnel to the Baltic region. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said the troops will deter Russian aggression beyond Ukraine and reassure eastern European Nato members. Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Mr Fallon - who held talks with his US counterpart Ash Carter in London - said the UK government was committed to building support for air strikes against IS in Syria. He said Russia's military action had made a "grave situation even worse". The UK is currently involved in coalition air strikes against IS targets in Iraq but not Syria, after Parliament voted against the move in 2013.

Summary: David Cameron is holding talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Britain's EU reform aims, the situation in Syria and the migrant crisis.


Firefighters were called to a blaze in Kilmaurs Road at 23:40 on Saturday. The woman, local resident Catherine Kelly, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 41-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Another woman, aged 41, who was also in the house at the time was not injured. Police said the fire was a "targeted and deliberate act". Officers have appealed for witnesses to come forward. They indicated they are following a definite line of inquiry. Local residents who tried to help put out the blaze were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. The injured man was taken to Crosshouse Hospital where medical staff described his condition as stable. Det Ch Insp Allan Burton said: "The outbreak of fire within the house on Kilmaurs Road has resulted in the death of an elderly woman. "Following a joint investigation with our colleagues at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, we now know that this was a targeted and deliberate act. "Local residents are understandably shocked and I would like to acknowledge the bravery of those neighbours and passing motorists who raised the alarm and attempted to do what they could to extinguish the blaze. "I want to reassure local residents that all is being done to trace the person or persons responsible." Specialist forensic staff and detectives remain at the scene as part of the murder investigation. Additional uniformed officers are also on patrol in the area. Det Ch Insp Burton added: "We have spoken with a number of witnesses at this time. "I would ask any local residents or passing motorists who have yet to come forward and speak to police, please contact us with any information you may have."

Summary: A murder investigation is under way after a 71-year-old woman died in a fire at a house in Kilmarnock.


Roger Caffrey, 70, was found guilty of three counts of rape and 12 counts of indecent assault in Nottinghamshire from 1978 to 1994. One ex-pupil was raped six times by Caffrey at his home during a "campaign of rape", Nottingham Crown Court heard. A number of offences against his seven victims took place during lesson time. Caffrey was cleared of two charges of indecent assault following a three-week trial. Police began investigating him after a victim, who said she was raped when she was nine years old, contacted officers in December 2012. Nottinghamshire Police said all but one of the offences took place when Caffrey was deputy head teacher at Northgate Primary School in Nottingham - now the Djanogly Northgate Academy - from 1978 to 1984. Caffrey, of Sandesquoy, Tankerness, Orkney, taught at 10 schools in the county in a career spanning more than three decades. Pupils "no older than 11 years of age" were touched while they read aloud in class, or when they were in a store cupboard in the classroom, the court heard. Two victims were raped at Caffrey's home. One of the rape victims went to the police 22 years ago but no charges were brought due to a lack of evidence, the court heard. She was contacted in 2013 following the start of the investigation into Caffrey, but the original documents into the 1994 case had been lost. Michael Evans, defending Caffrey, said: "He was a teacher for a number of years and, outside of these offences, a very good teacher." Judge Timothy Spencer QC said: "You deliberately targeted these girls, you calculated that they were ripe for this sort of abuse and you calculated that they would not tell. "Their classroom, their school, should have been a place where they felt safe and secure. They must have felt anything but." Det Con Rob Smith, of Nottinghamshire Police, added: "Caffrey believed that he would be able to put his past behind him, but...it has been shown that the passage of time is no hindrance to justice taking its course."

Summary: A former deputy head teacher has been jailed for more than 17 years for raping and touching young girls - including one aged nine.


Dyddgu Hywel, Mel Clay and Sioned Harries all crossed in the first eight minutes with Alisha Butchers' try making it 24-0 at the break. Clay again. Jess Kavanagh-Williams and Elen Evans added second-half tries with Elinor Snowsill converting four. RAF and Wales full-back Charlie Murray scored a late Forces consolation. Clay's second after 51 minutes was the pick of the bunch as the rangy lock ran in from a Keira Bevan break out of defence. It was a second Wales victory of the month after beating Scotland 15-0, as they prepare for the Six Nations and 2017 World Cup. Woman of the match Elinor Snowsill told BBC Wales Sport: "I'm chuffed with the performance of the whole squad, we scored tries early on, then we had a 20-minute period where we switched off, but we came back out, finished the game off and scored some nice tries. "It's a massive positive that we threw on a lot of subs, we made a lot of positional changes, and still kept our structure. "We're really thankful for the chance (to play autumn internationals), it gives us time to work on different combinations, and you blow out the cobwebs to keep moving forward into the Six Nations and World Cup. "I only switched to left-foot (goal) kicking two weeks ago, I'd always struggled with my right foot kicking for the posts, so I gave the left a go and it worked." Wales: Dyddgu Hywel (Scarlets); Jess Kavanagh-Williams (Scarlets), Kerin Lake (Ospreys), Rebecca De Filippo (Dragons), Adi Taviner (Ospreys); Elinor Snowsill (Dragons), Keira Bevan (Ospreys); Cerys Hale (Dragons), Carys Phillips (Ospreys, capt), Amy Evans (Ospreys), Siwan Lillicrap (Ospreys), Mel Clay (Ospreys), Alisha Butchers (Scarlets), Sioned Harries (Scarlets), Shona Powell-Hughes (Ospreys). Replacements: Lowri Harries (Scarlets), Gwenllian Pyrs (Scarlets), Catrin Edwards (Scarlets), Charlie Mundy (Ospreys), Rachel Taylor (Scarlets), Sian Moore (Dragons), Robyn Wilkins (Ospreys), Elen Evans (Scarlets), Jodie Evans (Scarlets), Nia Elen Davies (Scarlets).. UK Armed Forces: Charlie Murray (RAF); Jade Mullen, Gemma Rowland, Sarah Mitchelson (capt), Bethan Dainton; Katie Hancock, Gemma Stonebridge-Smith; Sarah Batley, Rae Metters, Bianca Dawson, Ellie Gattlin, Heidi Silcox, Erica Mills (all Army), Sian Williams (RAF), Alexandra Hardy (Army). Replacements: Paula Robinson (Army), Maria Waghorn (RAF), Fran Athawes (Army), Kat Dale, Kate Edwards (RAF), Charlotte Fredrickson (Navy), Mariette Claasens (Army), Chrissy Siczowa (RAF), Carrie Roberts, Jessica McAuley-Roberts (Army).

Summary: Wales made the most of a flying start to beat the UK Armed Forces 43-5 in a special Armistice Day match at the Arms Park.


The 29-year-old terminated his contract with the O's after the transfer window closed, and cannot join another EFL side until January. "I wouldn't say I'm in a predicament, but I have never been in this position before," Cox told BBC Radio London. "It is not a nice thing for a footballer. I'm not able to do my job." The former Brighton man continued: "I am going to have to sit it out again for four months before I can kick a ball in the League again. "I'll try to make the best of it. It is hard to train on your own and keep yourself motivated but it is something which has got to be done." Cox left Orient on 1 September after turning down a move to League One Northampton Town. Having spent six years with the O's, scoring 59 times in 275 appearances, Cox said he was "an emotional wreck" on his departure from Brisbane Road. "I didn't really want to leave but, circumstances being what they were, I felt like I had no choice," he said. "We had come to our conclusion that we were going to go our separate ways. I can't really elaborate on it for legal reasons. "It is a club I will always love. When I finish playing I want to be a manager and if I can go back there and manage one day that would be great." Cox, who has only just recovered from a long-term knee injury, is aiming to agree a contract with an EFL club which will commence in January before seeking a short-term deal with a non-league side to keep up his match fitness. "I was just getting back in the groove," he said. "If I can get something sorted sooner rather than later League-wise, then great. "Hopefully the clubs I speak to will understand my situation. I'm not too proud to play in lower divisions as I need to play. "Come January, I need to be ready to kick on." Cox has already held initial negotiations with League Two side Crawley Town. "It interests me because they are local to where I am," he said. "It ticks the boxes and I used to play with the captain Jimmy Smith at Orient. The manager [Dermot Drummy] wants attractive attacking football, which is great for me because that is the way I like to play. "By no means is it a done deal. We have had talks and we'll see how that goes." You can hear an interview with Dean Cox on BBC Radio London's Saturday Sport show, which begins at 13:00 BST.

Summary: Winger Dean Cox says he will have to remain patient as he searches for a new club after leaving League Two side Leyton Orient by mutual consent.


More than 15,600 bank account numbers and sort codes were stolen, the company said. Customers should continue to protect themselves from scam phone calls and emails, TalkTalk added. This week police released a 16-year-old boy on bail who was the fourth person arrested in connection with the hack. Since news of the cyber-attack emerged, TalkTalk shares have lost about a third of their value. The firm said 4% of TalkTalk customers have sensitive data at risk. It confirmed that scale of the attack was "much more limited than initially suspected". TalkTalk said: Customers whose financial details were stolen have been contacted, and the firm will contact other affected customers "within the coming days". The cyber attack on TalkTalk's website happened on 21 October, it added. Details that TalkTalk previously said had been stolen included names, addresses, dates of birth, telephone numbers and email addresses. So what can you do to try to protect yourself from danger? In October, the firm described the attack as "significant and sustained", but that it was too early to say which data had been stolen. It initially said that all of its customers may have been affected, but then reined in its estimate. Four people have been arrested over the hack so far: a boy of 15 in Northern Ireland, a 16-year-old boy from west London, a 20-year-old Staffordshire man, and a 16-year-old boy in Norwich. All four have been released on bail.

Summary: TalkTalk has given more details of the cyber-attack on its website, saying nearly 157,000 of its customers' personal details were accessed.


The project was launched in Grenada by the prince, who is on a 15-day tour of the Caribbean. Nine places are available on the six-week Royal Household Hospitality Scholarship initiative. Training could include shadowing a service team at official events. Successful applicants to the programme will be attached to the Master of the Household's department, which looks after all planning and entertaining given by the Queen, both official and private, in the UK and overseas. It also provides support to the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and other royal family members. The training could range from learning complex chocolate and sugar craft or performing duties for the Queen's guests at Windsor Castle during Royal Ascot week. Candidates to the scholarship programme can apply from the nine Caribbean countries where the Queen is head of state which include Jamaica, Grenada and St Lucia. Successful candidates will be provided with staff accommodation in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, as well as meals and travel. Flights will be provided by their home realm. Meanwhile, Prince Harry praised a drawing of himself created by a teenager during a visit to an exhibition of environmental and social projects on Grenada's Grand Anse beach in the capital St George's. The prince chatted to the artist Richie Modeste, 18, who was being supported by a organisation which helps disadvantaged young people, and told him the artwork was "amazing". The prince asked the teenager: "How long have you been drawing for?" and when the young artist replied "for about six years now" he praised his efforts, saying: "You have a serious talent." Later, Prince Harry took a 10-minute ride in a glass-bottomed boat to see gardeners tending an underwater nursery that environmentalists hope help will produce coral to be transplanted to damaged reefs. The prince presented a handwritten postcard message of support for the project which said: "Globally 75% of coral reefs are under threat from over-fishing, habitat destruction, pollution and acidification of the sea due to climate change. "It is fantastic to see Grenada doing their bit for their surrounding ocean and coral reefs. We must protect the things that give us so much."

Summary: Budding hospitality workers from the Caribbean will have the chance to train at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle under a scholarship programme announced by Prince Harry.
