The Boeing 767 bound for Miami experienced an "uncontained engine failure", officials involved in the investigation said. The pilot aborted the take-off and evacuated everyone on board via emergency chutes as black smoke billowed from the plane. Twenty people suffered minor injuries, the fire department said. Nine crew members and 161 passengers were on board. A federal official quoted by the Associated Press news agency said the plane appeared to have suffered a rare and serious type of engine failure in which parts break off and are spewed outside the engine. Passengers reported an explosion followed by flames and black smoke as the plane was speeding down the runway. Sarah Ahmed said everyone on the right side of the plane rushed from their seats and moved to the left side. "People are yelling, 'Open the door! Open the door!' Everyone's screaming and jumping on top of each other to open the door," she told WLS-TV. "Within that time, I think it was seven seconds, there was smoke in the plane and the fire is right up against the windows, and it's melting the windows." The incident took place at 14:35 local time (19:35 GMT). An initial statement by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane had burst a tyre, but that information was later deleted from the statement. Why do people grab their bags after a plane crash? American Airlines said passengers who still wanted to travel had been put on another flight to Miami. Elsewhere, a FedEx plane caught fire at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airport after its landing gear collapsed on landing, the FAA said.

Summary: An American Airlines plane has caught fire on the runway of Chicago's O'Hare airport while taking off.


World number 127 Figueiredo was struggling at 4-1 down, but then took four frames to leave Ding clinging on. Ding, ranked fifth in the world, rallied to take the 10th frame and won a tense decider with a break of 74. The two-time UK Championship winner said: "I missed some easy shots." The 29-year-old, runner-up at this year's World Championship, added: "He played well and made a few 50 breaks. But at 5-4 down I told myself to carry on and I knew that pressure would come so I was confident in the last two frames." Barry Hawkins, another former Crucible runner-up, whitewashed Welshman David John 6-0. Marco Fu saw off Ireland's Josh Boileau 6-2 but the ever-popular Jimmy White was on the wrong end of the same scoreline against Wales' Ryan Day. White, the winner of 10 ranking events including the 1992 UK Championship, drew level at 2-2 but could not maintain his form after the interval. The 2011 champion Judd Trump, world number 13 Kyren Wilson, and Scotland's Anthony McGill are all in action in the evening session.

Summary: China's Ding Junhui survived a first-round scare to beat Brazilian outsider Igor Figueiredo 6-5 in a thrilling UK Championship match at the York Barbican.


Of these 216 planets, 10 of them could potentially be home to some sort of life, because they are 'Earth-like'. This means they have 'rocky' characteristics, and they are located in the 'Goldilocks Zone' of their solar system. If a planet is in a 'Goldilocks Zone' it is not too hot or too cold, which means water can be in its liquid form there. The Kepler Telescope has made some amazing discoveries since it was launched in 2009, but here are the top five findings... In 2014 the telescope made a huge discovery by finding a planet nicknamed: 'Earth 2.0'. The planet called, Kepler-452b has been dubbed as 'Earth 2.0', because it shares many characteristics with our Earth, even though it is 1,400 light years away from us. The first potentially habitable planet the telescope found was Kepler-22b, way back in 2011. Scientists agreed the planet was could be liveable because it was the perfect distance from its sun. In April 2017 the telescope found a super-Earth. This is a planet called LHS 1140b. It is a good candidate for life and orbits a red dwarf star 40 light years away. However, scientists think the planet might have had an ocean made entirely out of magma! - which released steam into the atmosphere. In February 2017, Kepler discovered seven new Earth-sized exoplanets. Exoplanets are planets that orbit a different star to our Sun - in a different solar system to the one we are in. In 2011 Nasa discovered the first planet to orbit two suns! It is called Kepler-16b, and is roughly 200 light years away from Earth. Some scientists have compared it to Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine, from the Star Wars movies, which also had two suns.

Summary: Nasa's Kepler telescope has recently found 216 new planets, meaning it has now discovered more than 4000 potential new worlds!

Last week Mr Cameron told the BBC he would not serve a third term as PM. Asked by Andrew Marr if that meant Mr Cameron would have to "stand down at some point during the next Parliament", Mr Duncan Smith replied: "He does." Downing Street said the PM would serve "every single day" of a second term. In his BBC interview on Monday, the prime minister said that, if re-elected this May, he would serve the full five years of another Parliament and then leave Number 10 - leading Labour to accuse him of arrogance. Mr Duncan Smith told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show the "way that all comes about will have to be discussed" adding that Mr Cameron would "serve what essentially is a full term" - but there would "of course" be a leadership contest at some point. "You've had to literally rap the knuckles of people like Gordon Brown and previous prime ministers to get them to think of going," he said. "[Mr Cameron] is actually very keen to say 'there is a limit, there's an amount of time a prime minister should serve before they get stale,' and he is right about that." Mr Cameron has tipped Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential successors. But Mr Duncan Smith said that, having been Conservative leader at a time when the party "was quite interested in having a fight in an empty room", he would not make predictions. He said he expected the next Conservative leader would already have been "in the public sphere for some time". Following Sunday's interview, a Downing Street source told the BBC: "David is very clear he will serve a full five-year second term, every single day of that as prime minister. "In terms of what happens in five years' time, we'll sort that out in five years' time." A YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has suggested Labour has a four-point lead over the Conservatives, putting Labour on 36% with the Tories on 32% - while an Opinium poll for The Observer suggests the Tories are on 34% and Labour are on 33%.

Summary: The Conservatives would have to choose a new leader before the end of the next Parliament if David Cameron wins a second term as prime minister, Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has said.


Wing Seymour, 28, has agreed a new deal until May 2019 while lock Swinson, 29, is now contracted until May 2020. Both made their Scotland debuts in 2013 and have 56 senior international caps between them. Fellow internationals Stuart Hogg and Henry Pyrgos have already signed new deals with Glasgow, as has former Scotland sevens player Adam Ashe. "This is my second three-year contract with the Warriors and I've signed for that length of time because it's a great club to be at and there is a good buzz around the place," Swinson, who joined from Newcastle Falcons in 2013, told the Warriors' website. "With other guys signing new contracts it's good to know that the guys you get on well with on and off the pitch are going to be here." New Zealander Dave Rennie will replace Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend in the summer, with the latter taking on the Scotland head coach job. "It's great news that Tommy and Tim want to stay and continue their careers in Glasgow," said Townsend. "They both work really hard to continually improve and have become important members of the squad over the last few years. "They care a lot about the club and make big contributions both on and off the pitch." Seymour started his professional career with Ulster, joining Glasgow in 2011. And, like Swinson, he helped Warriors win the Pro12 in 2015. "The club has really built a big name for itself since I've been here and it's something I'm keen to remain a part of," he said. "With the change of coaching staff next season it offers an exciting opportunity to carry on that development and really continue growing with the club. "Dave Rennie is regarded as one of the best coaches in the world and we're all really looking forward to working with him next season."

Summary: Scotland players Tommy Seymour and Tim Swinson have signed new deals to stay at Glasgow Warriors.


Sixty patrol boats will protect the UK's two new aircraft carriers which are due to arrive at Portsmouth Naval Base in 2017. The first carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is expected to be operational in 2020. "We are going to see a bigger Royal Navy and the flagship... will be here in Portsmouth," Michael Fallon said. The 60 Pacific 24 rigid-hulled inflatable boats will be built by BAE systems to "guard the carriers in the harbour and our new frigates and destroyers", Mr Fallon said. He said they will also enhance security by providing a rapid response in rescue, anti-piracy and counter-narcotics missions in the area. Mr Fallon said: "Through the defence review, defence spending is going to go up every April for the rest of this parliament. He said as part of the larger investment, the government will also be able to provide the new aircraft carriers with sufficient fighter jets. "We have said we will maintain a minimum fleet of 19 destroyers and frigates, but as the older frigates are retired we also hope to add a lighter frigate between the offshore patrol vessel and Type 26 and to build more of those as well." Mr Fallon's visit to Portsmouth Naval Base comes as work has begun to rebuild the jetty for the arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth in 2017. Floating cranes are also dredging Portsmouth harbour to prepare deeper channels for the aircraft carriers to sail from the base, which are the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. "This is a huge financial investment in making sure the channel is wide enough, in enlarging the jetty here so they can take the carriers and in making sure the carriers are properly guarded," Mr Fallon said. Taller than Nelson's Column and longer than Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower laid on its side, the new carriers will displace 65,000 tonnes of water. To make room for the carriers three million cubic metres of clay, sand and gravel will be removed from a two-mile stretch of Portsmouth Harbour covering an area the size of 200 football pitches.

Summary: Increased spending will result in a "bigger" Royal Navy, the defence secretary has said, as he announced a new £13.5m shipbuilding contract.


Robin Hood, also known as Tim Pollard, appropriately met Sally Chappell at a banquet at the city's former Sheriff's Lodge venue. The couple now have a two-year-old daughter called Scarlett. Instead of wedding presents they have asked for donations towards a relaxing space for Ms Chapell, who has incurable breast cancer. Mr Pollard, 52, said: "I think one of the first times I met her, I threw axes at her as part of the show. "I can't say that will work as dating advice for everyone, but it did for me." Speaking about his fiancÃ©e's cancer diagnosis, he said: "We both had a bit of a weep and now we are just carrying on anyway. "We were planning on getting married, so that's what we're doing." Mr Pollard has been playing Nottingham's famous outlaw for more than two decades. He was in need of a Maid Marian so he asked Ms Chappell, who was also into re-enactments. "It's the best chat-up line in the world really - 'Will you be my Maid Marian?'," said Mr Pollard. "Except it wasn't a chat-up line. We worked together as Robin and Maid Marian for years just as friends and neither of us thought about going out with each other. "And then five years ago, we just kind of went 'You know this pretending to be in love thing that we're doing? I quite like you' and we got together." Ms Chappell, 39, is also a lecturer and researcher in human molecular genetics at the University of Nottingham. "You can't pull the wool over her eyes about the seriousness of her condition because of her work but she has just been amazing with it," said Mr Pollard. Ms Chappell said: "We've been a couple for several years now and even have a beautiful two-and-a-half-year-old baby daughter, Scarlett, so maybe it's time for me to make an honest man of Robin." The couple are getting married later this month in Buxton, Derbyshire. Guests will include the Pied Piper of Hamelin, from Germany. Even Robin Hood's arch enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, has wished the couple well on their big day. Jackie Morris, who holds the ceremonial role of the Sheriff, said: "I'm delighted the legendary love story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, better known locally as Tim and Sally, is going to be celebrated on their wedding day. "Tim dubbed me the 'nice' Sheriff, but even so I will leave him in peace on his wedding day. I'm sure family, friends, their daughter Scarlett and the Merry Men will help them celebrate in style. "Myself and the whole of Nottingham will be celebrating with them in spirit and we wish them all the best for a happy wedding day."

Summary: Nottingham's official Robin Hood is to marry Maid Marian after they fell in love while playing the famous couple.


The A&E unit at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital could be downgraded, leaving the Royal Shrewsbury as the only hospital in the county to offer emergency and critical care. Women and children's services would also be moved to Shrewsbury, despite a Â£28m centre opening in Telford in 2014. The proposals have been made by the NHS 'Future Fit' board. More updates on this and other stories in Shropshire Urgent care centres would be based at both sites, which Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said would attend to the majority of patients who are currently seen at A&E. These "preferred options" will be considered by Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Shropshire CCG, who will formally decide if a public consultation can begin. The board is also recommending three other options be put forward for public consultation. No formal decisions will be made until at least Summer 2017, Telford and Wrekin CCG said. The NHS Future Fit programme was launched in 2014 to review the health system across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid-Wales and is set to finish in spring 2017. Princess Royal Hospital in Telford: Royal Shrewsbury Hospital: There has been criticism of the plans to move women's and children's services from Telford. Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, described the announcement as "a total farce that is being railroaded through" and said he opposed the idea of downgrading Telford's A&E department. "If there is to be only one, then it makes sense from a financial and clinical perspective to locate it at Princess Royal Hospital; in the area where there is a growing population."

Summary: Shropshire could have one emergency and trauma department under recommendations being put forward by NHS bosses.


Redknapp has added goalkeeper David Stockdale, defender Marc Roberts and midfielder Cheikh N'Doye this summer. Ravel Morrison and Simeon Slavchev also remain on trial with the club, but the Blues manager wants more additions before the season begins on Saturday. "We're a little bit short at the moment - we need to improve the squad this week if we can," he told BBC WM. "We've been trying, but it's been very difficult to get the players in who we've been chasing. Hopefully we'll get there - it's not been through lack of effort." Redknapp confirmed an interest in Bristol City's Aden Flint, who may be available following the arrival of Nathan Baker from Aston Villa. "I like him but we'll only pay what we can - if he's too expensive then we'll move on," he said. Following the 2-0 friendly loss to Swansea on Saturday, Redknapp also said defender Ryan Shotton could leave if the club's valuation is met. If Shotton were to go that would leave Birmingham, who missed out on John Terry to rivals Villa, with just two centre-backs going into the opening game of the Championship season at Ipswich on Saturday. "I'm not frustrated. I'm just desperate to do well, but I need the tools to be able to do that," Redknapp said. "If I get the tools I'll do that, if I don't then it's going to be difficult."

Summary: Birmingham City will face a "difficult" season if they cannot sign new players this week, says manager Harry Redknapp.


Families with one parent with a taxable income of more than £50,000 will lose some of the benefit, and it will be withdrawn entirely if one parent earns above £60,000. The government hopes to save £1.5bn a year to help reduce the deficit. David Cameron described the move as "fundamentally fair" but Labour said it was a "huge assault" on families. Defending the policy, the prime minister said: "I'm not saying those people are rich, but I think it is right that they make a contribution. "If we don't raise that... from that group of people - the better off 15% in the country - we would have to find someone else to take it from." Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said the government should tax the richest, rather than make changes that affect those on middle incomes, and described the changes as a "complete shambles". The change comes the day before a key Commons debate over the welfare system, when MPs discuss plans to break the link between benefit rises and inflation. Chancellor George Osborne has proposed a cap of 1% - which is below the expected rise in the cost of living - on increases in most working-age benefits, such as Jobseeker's Allowance and maternity pay, and tax credits for three years from 2013-14. Child benefit, housing benefit and universal credit will be capped for two years from 2014-15. All these changes will affect millions of people. More than 250,000 high earners have already opted out of receiving child benefit but several hundred thousand others who missed a deadline to declare they will no longer qualify will now have to fill in self-assessment tax forms. Campaigners say this has created complexity in the system. They have also pointed to the fact that a family where two parents work and both earn £49,000 a year will keep their benefits, while a family with a single earner on £51,000 - where the other parent may have chosen to stay at home in a caring role - will lose part of theirs. Child benefit is paid at the rate of £20.30 a week for the first child, and then £13.40 a week for each child after that. It lasts until each child reaches 16, or 18 if they are still in full-time education, and in some cases until they are 20. More than a million people are set to be affected by the cut, with the Institute of Fiscal Studies estimating that they would lose an average of £1,300 a year. Any child benefit paid to high-earners who have failed to opt out will be clawed back through the High Income Child Benefit Charge, administered by HM Revenue and Customs. If somebody earning more than £50,000 or their partner keeps claiming child benefit, then the higher earner will have to admit this in a self-assessment tax form. The IFS estimates that 500,000 extra people might have to fill in these forms as a result of the change. They will need to register for self-assessment, if they have not already, by 5 October or face

Summary: More than a million better-off families will lose some or all of their child benefit, under rules now in force.


Inspired by the lily pond in Monet's garden at Giverny in France, the painting was the top lot at Sotheby's sale of modern and impressionist works. It totalled just under £122m, including £15.2m for Piet Mondrian's 1927 Composition with Red, Blue and Grey. Sotheby's said it proved collectors are still keen to acquire "trophy art". Paintings by Sisley, Picasso, Manet and Kandinsky were also among the 46 works, with only four pieces failing to find buyers as many sold close to the top end of the pre-auction estimates and sometimes above. "The Nympheas selling for such a huge sum is again a reflection that this is still a market that is driven by trophies, that the great works by the major masters are still really sought after," said Philip Hook from Sotheby's. The auction house said the bidding for the Monet work attracted buyers from Asia and all over the world and went on for 10 minutes, going up in £250,000 increments in its final stages. It said the painting, from the "most iconic and celebrated of Monet's painting series, can be counted among the artist's greatest achievements". It once belonged to Paul Durand-Ruel, the legendary art dealer who championed the Impressionists and represented Monet. The same work had been offered for auction in 2010 but failed to reach its reserve price. Sotheby's said this time it had carried a more "realistic" estimate of £20m to £30m. The sale price of £31.7m included a buyer's premium. Two other Monet paintings were also offered in the sale, La Seine a Argenteuil which sold for £8.5m and Antibes, vue du plateau Notre-Dame, which sold for £7.9m.

Summary: A 1906 Claude Monet water lilies painting, Nympheas, has sold for £31.7m in London, the second highest price ever paid for the artist at an auction.


North Wales Chief Constable Mark Polin said the police were likely to "bear the brunt" of further cuts to the Home Office budget by 2020. Dyfed-Powys Commissioner Christopher Salmon has urged ministers to take rural needs into account when changing the police funding formula. The Home Office has said no decisions have been taken beyond this year. Mr Polin sent an email to North Wales force employees responding to a UK government statement that by 2020 the Home Office would have only half of the funds it had in 2010. He said: "The police service represents the largest slice of the Home Office budget and therefore it is a realistic assumption that we will bear the brunt of any such reduction. "Indeed, a further cut of between 25% and 40% is being suggested and you won't need me to tell you how this would represent a significant challenge for us (and other forces) to achieve in addition to that we have already saved and plan to save." North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Winston Roddick said the force had achieved "tremendous success during a time of great challenge". "Further cuts are inevitable and will put greater pressure on staff and resources," he added. Meanwhile his Dyfed-Powys counterpart Christopher Salmon - supported by three of the region's Conservative MPs - called for "fair funding" for rural areas in the current consultation over changes to the Police Allocation Formula, which the Home Office says needs updating. In a letter to ministers, Mr Salmon and the MPs - Chris Davies, Glyn Davies and Simon Hart - claimed the new formula would favour heavily-populated urban centres and make little allowance for the extra costs associated with policing rural areas. "We urge, on behalf of the people of Dyfed-Powys, that the government recognises the limitations of urban-based statistics in describing rural areas," the letter said. "We also urge that the government does not neglect the additional cost of providing services to those areas, from additional fuel costs to the additional infrastructure required to maintain a reasonable emergency response."

Summary: Senior figures at two Welsh police forces have raised fears about their funding in the coming years.


The plane crashed in Holme Fen during a 300mph (483km/h) training mission in November 1940, killing 20-year-old Pilot Officer Harold Penketh. Experts from Oxford Archaeology East and Cranfield University have spent five days recovering the plane. Its parts will be preserved and put on public display. Here is the story of the excavation, told in photographs:

Summary: Experts have begun examining and cataloguing parts of a Spitfire excavated from a field in Cambridgeshire.


Five first-half Wigan scores laid the platform with two for Joe Burgess to add to tries from Sean O'Loughlin, Liam Farrell and Sam Powell. George Williams then converted his own try, and Frank Paul Nuuausala and Liam Marshall put the game beyond doubt. Salford, who have lost the past seven games. scored through Niall Evalds try. Shaun Wane's Wigan move within a point of Wakefield Trinity, who stay in the fourth and last play-off spot despite defeat by Castleford on Thursday. Despite their poor form, Ian Watson's Salford are only two points behind with four games left to play in the Super 8s. Any fears that an imminent Wembley appearance would distract Wigan were blown away emphatically by a dominant performance, and a result which - in the light of dropped points for Wakefield, Hull, St Helens and Salford - keeps the Warriors well in the hunt for Old Trafford and the defence of their Super League title. England half-back Williams had a big hand in the victory, combining devastatingly in particular with winger Burgess to cause the Red Devils problems down their right edge. For Salford, the defeat comes just weeks after they were also beaten in the Challenge Cup semi-finals by Wigan. Wigan head coach Shaun Wane: "We won't get carried away. Salford were a bit busted and a lot of things went our way but I'm very happy to get the win. "I was happy with a lot of things we did, having a decent lead at half-time and it can be hard to stay mentally focused but we finished sets in the areas we wanted. "We were quite patient and that was the most pleasing thing." Salford head coach Ian Watson: "We had a little bit of possession on their try line at the start and we probably needed to just take a couple of points there to try and turn the tide. "It would have given us a foothold in the game, but we didn't and they marched us the full length. "I thought their middles were outstanding, they absolutely dominated us to be fair. We have not done ourselves any favours by putting in that kind of performance." Wigan: S.Tomkins; Marshall, Gelling, Gildart, Burgess; Williams, Leuluai; Nuuausala, McIlorum, Clubb, Bateman, L.Farrell, O'Loughlin Replacements: Isa, Sutton, Powell, Tautai Salford: Evalds; Johnson, Jones, Bibby, Vatuvei; Carney, Dobson; A. Walne, Tomkins, Krasniqi, Lannon, McCarthy, Hauraki Replacements: O'Brien, Kopczak, Griffin, Brining

Summary: Wigan demolished Salford to keep their Super League top four hopes alive and build momentum going into the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC on 26 August.

The Seasiders' Andy Taylor came close to the opening goal after five minutes, curling just over from 20 yards. Wycombe were denied by the woodwork in the 25th minute as Michael Harriman's looping 20-yard strike came back off the crossbar. Harriman came close again nine minutes later but sent a header straight at goalkeeper Sam Slocombe, while at the other end Brad Potts met Mark Cullen's cross but nodded wide from three yards. Wycombe started the second half on the front foot as Adebayo Akinfenwa brought the ball down and unleashed a powerful 25-yard strike which was inches over the bar. On the hour mark, a cleverly-worked low corner created a chance for Blackpool but Potts fired over from eight yards. The hosts almost snatched a winner in the 81st minute, forcing Blackman to produce a fingertip save to deny Cullen from 12 yards before the on-loan Chelsea youngster pushed Jim McAlister's 25-yard strike wide.

Inspectors reported a "marked increase" at HMP Risley near Warrington, Cheshire since its last inspection, some of which may not have been "justified". The report also said new psychoactive substances (NPS) were "undermining prisoner well-being" and a fifth of inmates felt conditions were "unsafe". Chief Inspector of Prisons Peter Clarke said the findings were "disappointing". The report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons followed an unannounced inspection of the jail - which houses 1,115 male prisoners - in June. While the prison had "a similar variable picture" to its last inspection in 2013, there was "some deterioration", Mr Clarke noted. An inspection in 2011 also found the use of force in some incidents at the jail was "unjustified". Mr Clarke said the high number of prisoners feeling unsafe was "worse than comparable prisons", though levels of violence were similar. He added that while "some meaningful work was being done" to deal with the "serious destabilising" issue of NPS, commonly known as legal highs, "nearly two-thirds of prisoners thought it was easy to obtain drugs". Risley "was not a sufficiently respectful prison", he said. He added accommodation standards "varied greatly" and there was a "need for more hygienic conditions and improved provision of basic amenities". The prison "did not have a grasp of the resettlement needs of the population, which was a fundamental failing for a resettlement prison," he said. "Only 40% of prisoners indicated they thought their time at Risley had made them less likely to offend. "The prison needs to go back to first principles in determining how best it can assess and resettle its prisoners." Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said he hoped the jail's new governor would "develop the regime" at Risley. "The previous governor and his staff have worked hard to improve safety, to tackle illicit psychoactive drugs and to provide support for vulnerable prisoners, but there is more to do. "The new governor comes with an impressive track record and will build on the work of her predecessor."

Summary: A prison has seen a fourfold increase in the use of force by officers against inmates since 2013, a report has found.


Germany's Lisa Brennauer was edged into second as Vos came third to move three seconds clear of Christine Majerus of Luxembourg. Majerus, who came fifth, had pipped Vos to victory on the opening leg of the five-stage race on Wednesday. Lizzie Armistead was the highest-placed Briton, in 18th, on the 140km ride from Atherstone to Stratford-Upon-Avon.

But there are many different shades of losing. There's the silver-lining, get 'em next time variety. Then there's the sitting-in-the-middle-of-the-pitch surrender cobra, contemplating-the-bitter-end-of-a-promising-career kind of losing. The 2016 Republican presidential campaign brought us plenty of both. So, from almost-first to worst, here's how the men (and woman) who came up short rank in terms of the relative catastrophic nature of their defeats. The Texan entered the race roundly disliked by his Washington colleagues. He exited it â€¦ still largely disliked, but with the support of more than seven million primary voters. There's little doubt that the Texas senator is going to run for president again in 2020, and while he was considered a long-shot this year, he likely will be a front-runner next time around. Although this year was a glaring exception, second-place finishers usually become the "next in line" for the Republican nomination. Mr Cruz now has a national fundraising network, solid name recognition and, thanks to his position as the last realistic non-Trump candidate standing, endorsements from Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, among many others. While they won't necessarily back him next time around, it'll be a lot harder for them to paint him as a dangerous extremist. Advantage Cruz. A man with the energy levels of a eucalyptus-addled koala managed to hang near the top of Republican presidential preference polls for several months last year. He was a fund-raising powerhouse and now has a small-donor list that will be coveted by other candidates and conservative causes. Carson has cast his lot with Trump and is serving as the New Yorker's ambassador to fellow Republicans and involved in the search for a vice-presidential nominee. Not too bad for a retired neurosurgeon with no previous political experience. A year ago Fiorina was only known (if at all) for a spectacularly unsuccessful Senate bid, a classic demon-sheep political attack advert and her stormy tenure as head of computing giant Hewlett-Packard. Since then she was the star of the first undercard debate, the only match for Trump in the second big-stage debate and generally well-received at countless Republican presidential cattle calls during the primary pre-season. Although her campaign fizzled when it turned out she was a popular candidate no-one actually wanted to vote for, she did become an effective Cruz surrogate and was even selected to be his vice-presidential running mate. Sort of. For one week. Still, that's a big step in the right direction for Fiorina. Where to put John Kasich on this list? He finished third behind Trump and Cruz in the overall popular vote, but that was only thanks to winning his home state of Ohio and the fact that his quixotic bid for the presidency dragged on longer than any other candidate not named Donald Trump. (He actually also finished behind Marco Rubio, who dropped out more than a month before him, in delegates.) His New Hampshire-centric campaign strategy was good enough to get him second place in the state and give his candidacy extended life, but all that really did was

Summary: The race for the Republican nomination is over, with one winner - Donald Trump - and 16 losers.


The inquiry is being led by the complex case team of the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command. Kids Company said it was not aware of the nature of any allegations and its priority was the safety of its clients. Police want anyone with information or concerns to contact them or the NSPCC. The police investigating team can be contacted on 0208 217 6538, while the NSPCC helpline number is 0808 800 5000. Kids Company is run by Camila Batmanghelidjh. The charity provides practical, emotional and educational support to some of the most deprived and vulnerable inner-city children. In a statement Kids Company said its "first priority is the safety and security of all the children, young people and adults we support and protect". It added: "The organisation operates robust policies and procedures that ensure all Kids Company's clients are protected and that staff work safely with clients at all times. "Kids Company's policies and procedures are externally reviewed regularly by an expert consultant and are governed by a risk sub-committee comprised of senior clinicians and representatives from the board of trustees. "All allegations of misconduct between Kids Company employees and clients are immediately reported to the police if required." Earlier this month the charity faced questions about the way it was run and whether government funding would continue.

Summary: An investigation into a number of allegations of crime involving the children's charity Kids Company has been launched by the Metropolitan Police, the BBC has learned.


The northbound carriageway was closed at 02:00 on Thursday at junctions five, Castle Bromwich and six, Spaghetti Junction and was not reopened until about 01:30 GMT on Friday. A 26-year-old man driving a Saab died at the scene. A 200m-length section across four lanes had to be resurfaced after a fuel spillage, Highways England said. Read more on this story and other news from Birmingham and the Black Country A Highways England spokesman said earlier: "You've got about a 200m stretch - so that's 800m across all four lanes. "Fuel has leaked on to the carriageway and it's really got into the carriageway, so that's the problem and it's just not safe to reopen." Traffic jams trailed back to junction four for the M42. Drivers were stuck for hours in congestion on the M42 north from junctions six to nine and on the A446 around Coleshill. Many of the main routes into Birmingham slowed to a crawl as people tried to find alternative routes. BBC Travel has the latest Two southbound lanes between junctions six and five, that were closed at about 03:00, reopened about six hours later. Two lanes closed on the northbound carriageway of the M6 at junction 3A near Coleshill after a separate traffic collision at 12:30 reopened by 13:00, said Highways England. Drivers expressed their anger on social media at being caught in the congestion in and around Birmingham during Thursday's rush hour. Paul Davis tweeted at 10:00 he had only managed to drive six miles after leaving from Sutton Coldfield at 07:00. Earlier Virgin Trains said it had advised its ticket managers at Birmingham International to use discretion towards commuters in light of the disruption. Police had hoped to reopen the northbound lanes at about 07:30 on Thursday, but Highways England said extensive damage had been caused and assessment and repair work was being carried out. Diversions were put in place but motorists were caught up in long delays on surrounding routes, particularly on the A38. West Midlands Ambulance Service said the lorry driver in the collision was shaken but uninjured.

Summary: Part of the M6 in Birmingham was closed for almost 24 hours after a fatal collision involving a lorry and a car.


Adele Bellis, then 22, lost an ear, is now partially bald and was left with "life-changing" permanent scarring. The attack, at a bus stop in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on 14 August 2014, was ordered by her ex-boyfriend Anthony Riley, 27, Ipswich Crown Court was told. Jason Harrison, 39, from Lowestoft, admits the attack and said Mr Riley promised to reduce a drugs debt. Mr Riley, of Raglan Street, Lowestoft, denies false imprisonment, conspiracy to apply a corrosive liquid and conspiracy to cause GBH with intent. Harrison claims a "jealous" Mr Riley recruited him as part of a campaign to "humiliate and control" his partner of nearly seven years. But he had been reluctant to go through with the attack until Mr Riley threatened to harm him, his girlfriend and family, he said. He owed Mr Riley Â£10,000 and would be let off some of it if he carried out the attack, he said. Mr Riley told him where she lived and gave him Â£500 and a coffee jar containing sulphuric acid, the jury was told. He aborted two attacks causing Mr Riley to punch him and put a knife in his mouth, Mr Harrison said. "I didn't want to do this attack. I'm not a violent person," he said. Prosecutor Andrew Jackson had earlier told the court Mr Riley arranged for co-defendant Leon Thompson, 39, to stab Miss Bellis in the face and posted a revenge porn sex video on Facebook. Mr Thompson, 39, of Alma Road, Lowestoft, denies wounding with intent, having a knife in public, conspiracy to apply a corrosive liquid and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent. The trial continues

Summary: A man threw acid in a beautician's face because he feared for his life, family and girlfriend, a court has heard.


In a statement (in French) it said it was "worried about the continued worsening of the situation". On Saturday, Turkey began shelling the militia, which it says is linked to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The fighters, the YPG militia based in Syria, have rejected Turkey's demand to leave areas it has seized, saying Islamists would return if it left. Turkey's assault is a new thread in an already-complex conflict that has drawn in competing regional powers. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu insisted on Sunday that Turkey "will not permit the [Kurdish militia] to carry out aggressive acts". "Our security forces gave the necessary response and will continue to do so," Mr Davutoglu said. Syria has also condemned the Turkish action as a violation of its sovereignty and asked the UN Security Council to intervene. France also called on the Syrian regime and its allies to stop their bombardments "across the whole of the country". France said priority should be given to implementing an agreement reached in Munich this week on ceasing hostilities, and the fight against so-called Islamic State (IS) group. Almost five years of civil war in Syria have led to the deaths of more than 250,000 people. More than 11 million people have been displaced. How Putin is succeeding in Syria Displaced Syrians struggle to survive Syria: The story of the conflict Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds: What's going on? Attempts to broker a peace deal have repeatedly failed, but on Thursday, world leaders agreed to work towards a so-called cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week. The US and Russian presidents agreed in a "frank and business-like" phone call to work more closely to achieve this, the Kremlin said on Sunday. Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has been carrying out air strikes since September against what it terms "terrorists". Among the targets shelled by Turkey is the Menagh airbase, which was seized by the YPG on Thursday from Syrian Islamist rebels. The YPG controls much of Syria's northern border with Turkey. Syria's war hardly needs a new front, but another has now opened up. Ankara sees the Kurdish PYD party and its YPG militia as terrorist organisations. It's worried that weapons are seeping over the border from Syria to the PKK, with which Turkey has renewed its armed conflict since a ceasefire broke down last year. Washington rejects Ankara's view that the PYD is a terrorist organisation, seeing it instead as an effective ally against so-called Islamic State (IS). That has caused rifts between the two Nato allies and is hampering international peace talks. Syria is the stage for several proxy wars, and Turkey has just started another, going after its Kurdish nemesis there and vowing to stop the PYD from cementing control of northern Syria. Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency said Turkish forces shot at Kurdish fighters inside Syria on Sunday after coming under fire themselves. Ankara sees the group as being linked with Kurdish guerrillas from PKK, which has waged a campaign against security forces in Turkey for decades. In

Summary: France's foreign ministry has urged Turkey to end its assault on Kurdish fighters in northern Syria.


Gao Yu, 71, was found guilty last April and challenged her conviction at a closed hearing in Beijing on Thursday. The guilty verdict was upheld, but the jail term was cut from seven years to five and the medical grounds permitted. Foreign governments and rights groups have condemned the guilty verdict, calling it politically motivated. Sources have told the BBC that Ms Gao has already left prison. The well-known investigative journalist was found guilty of sending an internal Communist Party document to Mingjing News, a Chinese-language website in the United States. The document warned against the dangers of a free press and an independent civil society. At the time of the original conviction the court had said that Ms Gao had "illegally provided state secrets to foreigners". Both Ms Gao and Mingjing News had denied she was the source of the leak. However, on Thursday, Ms Gao confessed to the crime and expressed regret for her actions, and the appeals court reduced her sentence to five years and decided Ms Gao could "temporarily serve the sentence out of prison" as she was "severely ill", Chinese state media said. Experts say Chinese courts often grant reduced sentences after convicts plead guilty. However, Ms Gao's lawyers told AP they continued to argue that she was innocent. Many believe that Gao Yu is unpopular with the Chinese government because of her unrelenting reports focusing on China's elite-level politics, the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing reports. Many people had pressed for a lighter sentence in consideration of Ms Gao's advanced age and her chronic heart problems. Her son, Zhao Meng, had told the BBC he was concerned his mother would not survive another lengthy period in prison, her third since 1989. Prominent human rights activist Hu Jia said (in Chinese): "I'm relieved Gao Yu can return to her own home, after a year and a half in custody... but the risk of being returned to jail at any time still hangs over Gao Yu's head, like the sword of Damocles."

Summary: A journalist jailed for leaking state secrets has been allowed to serve her sentence outside prison on medical grounds, Chinese media report.


Bath player Ford, 23, missed six out of seven kicks at goal during the 27-13 victory over Wales 11 days ago. That - combined with 24-year-old Farrell's form for title-winning Saracens - has convinced coach Eddie Jones to make the change. Luther Burrell is likely to take the inside-centre role vacated by Farrell. Harlequins winger Marland Yarde is in line to start instead of Exeter's Jack Nowell, with England to confirm their team at 10:00 BST on Thursday. England have never won a series in Australia, but are determined to overturn the 33-13 "hiding" they were given by the Wallabies at the 2015 World Cup. "We came out of that game thinking we had thought too much of ourselves," said loose-head prop Mako Vunipola of England's heaviest defeat on home soil. "The biggest lesson we took was that on any day anything can happen. We go into this weekend knowing that too. "There is no thought of revenge or righting wrongs of the World Cup and, although it's hard to forget, it has got to go to the back of our minds."

Summary: George Ford is expected to make way for Owen Farrell at fly-half for England's opening Test against Australia in Brisbane on Saturday.


The airlines announced that they would no longer transport lion, rhinoceros, leopard, elephant or buffalo remains. They have not, however, given official reasons for their announcements. Delta flies direct to a number of African cities and was subjected to an online petition to ban such shipments. American Airlines and United fly to fewer sub-Saharan cities than Delta, but United said in a tweet its decision to stop carrying trophies was "effective immediately". United spokesman Charles Hobart said: "We felt it made sense to do so." Cecil was shot illegally in July by US dentist Walter Palmer of Minnesota. Zimbabwe is seeking his extradition and that of a doctor from Pennsylvania, named as Jan Casimir Seski, who is suspected of killing a lion in April. Mr Palmer is believed to have paid about $50,000 (Â£32,000) to hunt Cecil, a major tourist attraction in the Hwange National Park. He says he thought the hunt was legal and was unaware Cecil was protected, but the killing triggered a huge online backlash. Delta would not answer questions from journalists as to why it made its decision on Monday, nor would it detail how many hunting trophies it has transported in recent years. "Effective immediately, Delta will officially ban shipment of all lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo trophies worldwide as freight," the company said in a brief statement. Its announcement came as several other airlines indicated that they are - or soon will be - stopping the transport of all trophy-hunting kills. As recently as May, Delta said it would continue to allow such shipments.

Summary: Delta, United and American Airlines have banned the shipment of big-game trophies on flights after the illegal killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe.


Media playback is not supported on this device His team defeated the Kiwis 20-14 to clinch the series 2-1 in the last game before his current deal expired. "We will sit down, assess it and look at it," said McNamara, who has been in charge since 2010. "These are the sort of things you deal with post-tournament, there is a process and I'm in no rush." Media playback is not supported on this device The former Bradford Bulls boss, 44, is also out of contract with club side Sydney Roosters, where he is attack coach. It has been reported that McNamara has agreed a new two-year deal with the Australian National Rugby League side. McNamara initially coached England on a full-time basis but has combined the position with his job at the Roosters since 2013. He went into Saturday's match with a record of only two wins in 11 matches against the world's top two sides - New Zealand and Australia. Former Great Britain international Garry Schofield - now an outspoken columnist - claimed before the game that there was "no debate about it, he has to go". But the series win strengthens McNamara's prospects of a deal that will take him through to the 2017 World Cup. The last significant series win against either the Kiwis or Australia was Great Britain's 3-0 triumph over New Zealand in 2007. Since then there have been numerous near misses, including a 20-18 World Cup semi-final defeat against the Kiwis at Wembley in 2013 and two narrow Four Nations defeats in 2014. England took the lead in the current series with victory in Hull but they were defeated 9-2 at the Olympic Stadium to set up Saturday's thrilling conclusion. "It's an incredible feeling," added McNamara. "The players completely deserve it after working tirelessly. "Success hasn't until this point come for the team, but thankfully they've finally got what they deserve. "New Zealand are the number one team in the world and have dominated international rugby league in a physical sense. We've been able to match that in three consecutive games. "We've got quality and experience to add to our group. "We've got a good, young bunch that is ready to play for a number of years so the signs are pretty strong for us moving forward, particularly now we've got across the line." The England team that competes in the 2016 Four Nations could be significantly stronger - with Sam Burgess, George Burgess, Sam Tomkins and Jack Reed all missing from the current series. Canterbury Bulldogs prop James Graham was in the GB team that defeated the Kiwis in 2007 but many in the current England side had never experienced a major series win. "The pressure has been released," said the former St Helens player. "The win will help breathe confidence into the less experienced lads but we cannot get carried away. The big thing for the England team is to kick on and win a major tournament." And the 30-year-old was one of numerous players to back McNamara to continue in his role as

Summary: England coach Steve McNamara refused to discuss his future after his team defeated New Zealand in the crucial series decider in Wigan.


Keith Davies, 56, from Troedyrhiw, has not been seen since he left his home at about 12:00 GMT on Saturday. South Wales Police had appealed for information following his disappearance. On Monday, the force confirmed a body has been found but has not yet been formally identified. Mr Davies' family has been informed.

Summary: A body has been found by police in their search for a missing man from Merthyr Tydfil.


The Ibrox club opened their Premiership account with a win at Motherwell and followed that up with a 6-0 thumping of Dunfermline in the League Cup. "It is always important to build on winning. They are believing in themselves as a team," Caixinha said ahead of Hibs' visit on Saturday. "I am a guy who chases perfection, but when I get it I want more." Alfredo Morelos netted twice in the demolition of Dunfermline, with Bruno Alves and Daniel Candeias also scoring maiden Rangers goals in a one-sided contest. "One of the major parts of football is enjoyment," added Caixinha. "I felt freedom from the team. The early second goal helped, but the players worked hard to get it. "It's just a good start. We want more. We want to keep progressing. "I believe you need to be focused at all times, with a strong mentality and team spirit. "The boys are doing well but we still have a long journey in front of us." Rangers and Hibs last met in the top flight in 2012, while the most recent contest came in the 2016 Scottish Cup final. A stoppage-time header from David Gray gave Hibs a dramatic 3-2 win at Hampden but Caixinha insists he is not interested in using previous pain as a motivation. "Football is a moment, there are no two games played the same way," he explained. "The contest is different, what was to be fought for is totally different, so we just want to focus on the three points that we want to take, that's all. "My concern is to prepare the team, recover the players and make them ready for a strong start at 3pm on Saturday." Meanwhile, the Rangers manager revealed that club captain Lee Wallace will have a scan on a leg injury. Lee Hodson was drafted in as a late replacement for Wednesday's victory over Dunfermline at Ibrox.

Summary: Pedro Caixinha has urged his Rangers players to continue their winning start to the season against Hibernian.


Joao Santana was widely seen as the architect of Ms Rousseff's 2010 and 2014 election victories. He has denied receiving bribes in a scheme to divert funds from the state-run oil company Petrobras. About 50 Brazilian politicians, including the leader of the lower house of Congress, are under investigation in the Petrobras corruption scandal. Mr Santana is accused of receiving bribes from several large engineering conglomerates. Analysts say the charge against him is a further blow for President Rousseff who is facing impeachment proceedings. He was arrested in February after he returned from the Dominican Republic, where he was working on the re-election campaign of President Danilo Medina. Because of his proximity to her, the arrest is expected to damaged her standing further, even though impeachment proceedings against her are not related to the Petrobras corruption investigation. A former journalist, Mr Santana is well known for producing dramatic, big-budget campaign videos appealing to poorer voters. Mr Santana had called the accusations "unfounded". And he had harsh words for the investigation, saying that Brazil was currently living in a "climate of persecution". If the investigating judge accepts the allegations against him, Mr Santana will be jailed. In Brasilia, a special Senate commission has begun hearings ahead of a vote on whether the whole Senate should take on impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff. A plenary Senate vote is widely expected to take place around 11 May. Across the country, pro-government supporters blocked major roads in cities in nine Brazilian states during Thursday's morning rush-hour to call for the halt of impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff. In Sao Paulo, the city saw hundreds of kilometres of traffic jams which formed behind roadblocks of burning tyres.

Summary: Brazilian prosecutors have filed corruption charges against President Dilma Rousseff's electoral strategist.


The proposed deal is expected to include more security around the site where thousands of migrants are living and moves to tackle people trafficking. Home Secretary Theresa May and French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve will tour the Eurotunnel site and meet aid associations helping migrants. They will also discuss humanitarian support for migrants. Neither government has given full details of what the deal will involve. Thousands of migrants are living around Calais - many of them in the camp known as the Jungle - and each night hundreds attempt to reach the UK by breaching security around the port and Eurotunnel. After the meeting with Mrs May, Mr Cazeneuve will travel to Berlin to meet his German counterpart for talks on Europe's migration policies. The UK government has offered France help with security around Calais - including Â£7m for fences - but police there have said such measures are only a "short-term solution". The Calais situation is part of a much larger migration issue in Europe. More than 240,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean already this year, arriving on the shores of Greece and Italy. Meanwhile, it has been suggested that the number of refugees seeking asylum in Germany could surge to 750,000 this year - and a UN High Commissioner has said more European countries should share the responsibility.

Summary: UK and French ministers will meet in Calais on Thursday to agree a new deal to tackle the migrant crisis there.


Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCC), set up this year, originally estimated annual running costs of about £1.3m. But the authority's scrutiny committee voted against approving it, with one member asking if recruitment plans were "written on the back of a bus ticket". CPCC said a reason for the rise was that a new authority was being created. The authority, created under government devolution plans, intends to employ 15 staff, including newly-created housing, skills and transport director roles all on annual salaries above £100,000. After Wednesday's decision by the scrutiny committee, the process of recruiting any new staff cannot begin until CPCC has reconsidered its budget, the deadline for which is 31 August. Labour Cambridge city councillor Dave Baigent, a member of the scrutiny committee, asked of the new jobs: "Were these ideas written down on the back of a bus ticket? Were they discussed with councillors in advance?" Lucy Nethsinga, a Liberal Democrat county councillor, said she had concerns over how these jobs overlapped with those in county and district councils. CPCC chief executive Martin Whiteley said: "We, with 15 staff, will be substantially smaller than any other devolved authority in the country. "I don't envisage us creating a big shiny office. We'll be looking to work flexibly across council offices."

Summary: A new devolved authority has been ordered to review its estimated budget after it rose by £500,000.


They have warned visitors to keep their distance from wildlife for the safety of both humans and animals. The bison was rejected by its herd after contact with the people. The park said it was just one example of "inappropriate, dangerous and illegal behaviour with wildlife". Other such behaviour included petting bison and taking selfies with them. The visitors had what the park described as a "misplaced concern" for the calf. They saw it on its own and tried to bring it to a park facility. But their action led to the calf's mother rejecting it, and despite rangers' repeated attempts to bring it back to the herd, it started "causing a dangerous situation by continually approaching people and cars", officials said in a statement. "Approaching wild animals can drastically affect their well-being and, in this case, their survival." Social media users reacted to the news with anger and sadness. There are about 5,000 wild bison, also known as buffalo, in Yellowstone National Park. There are also bears and wolves. At least five tourists were hurt in the national park last year after getting too close to animals, leading the park to put out a warning on human safety grounds. Tourists are warned to stay at least 25 yards (23m) away from all wildlife and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.

Summary: Officials at the famous Yellowstone National Park in the US have revealed that they had to put down a newborn bison after some tourists put it in the boot of their car.


A masked gunman opened fire at La Terrasse bar, killing a French national, witnesses said. A Belgian security official working for the EU and three Malians also died in the attack. One witness said an attacker shouted "God is Great" in Arabic ("Allahu Akbar"). It is the first attack of its kind in the capital. It is not clear who carried out the attack, but al-Qaeda-linked Islamist militants have been fighting the army in northern Mali for a number of years. France, the former colonial power in Mali, intervened two years ago to stop their advance south on Bamako. French President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as "cowardly". He spoke by phone to Malian counterpart Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and they "decided on common measures to strengthen security in Mali", the French presidency said. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders called the attack a "cowardly act of terror". La Terasse is popular among expats for its salsa evenings. You often see people there from the UN and EU mission that trains the Malian army. When I arrived there about an hour after the attack, there was a white body bag on the floor. A dozen Malian police were at the scene, including an inspector who used tables and stools to cordon off the bar. A witness said the attackers had sped off in a vehicle and on a motorbike and that one had shouted "Allahu Akbar". If confirmed as the work of Islamist fundamentalists, this would be the first such attack in Bamako. But locals have long feared it might happen. Many think the UN and the French and Malian militaries have been complacent to believe the danger is limited to Mali's north. There is very little security in Bamako apart from around foreign embassies and the UN mission. European Council President Donald Tusk said the EU would "not be intimidated by terrorism, at home or abroad". The attack happened shortly after midnight. Witnesses and officials said the attackers had killed the Belgian and Malian victims near the bar. Our reporter says French soldiers arrived quickly afterwards on the first-floor nightclub on Saturday. They confirmed that a man killed at the bar, in the Hippodrome area of the capital popular with expatriates, was a French national. The French foreign ministry later named him as 30-year-old Fabien Guyomard, who French media said was in Mali working for a private company. One of the Malian victims is believed to have been a police officer, and another a security guard, our correspondent says. Militancy in Mali: A witness told the BBC he had seen four men flee the scene in a vehicle and one on a motorbike. UN officials said an early report that a third European had been killed was incorrect. Nine people were wounded in the attack, officials said. They reportedly include three Swiss citizens, two of whom were soldiers working at the UN mission, according to the Swiss defence ministry. It has also emerged two people detained by police after the killings on Saturday were not involved. France has troops based in the Sahel

Summary: Five people have been killed in a machine-gun and grenade attack on a bar in Mali's capital, Bamako.


Mitch Rose had put the Stags ahead just four minutes into the second half. Matt Green wriggled between Easah Suliman and Dan Parslow on the left before setting up Rose from 12 yards with a square pass that he stroked home low first time. That looked likely to be enough as home goalkeeper Scott Shearer had little to do until he picked O'Shaughnessy's stunner out of his net. A tight first half saw the game fail to catch alight. But the Robins wasted the best chance after 22 minutes as Billy Waters crossed from the right and picked out an unmarked Harry Pell six yards from goal.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 34-year-old beat three-time champion Tony Martin by 26.23 seconds on a hilly 47.1km course in Spain. After finishing second to Martin in 2011 and 2013, Wiggins finally has a rainbow jersey on the road to go with the six he has won on the track. "I knew coming into it that I had the legs," Wiggins said afterwards. "Once I saw the course I realised if I was ever going to beat Tony again it was on a course like this. "It's been an up and down year - obviously I didn't ride the Tour de France. I want to dedicate this to my family because they had to put up with me when I was at home in July. "It's my last Road World Championships and I've finished with a gold medal." Martin trailed Wiggins by 9.64 seconds at the final time-check and the Briton extended his lead in the final 12km. Wiggins clocked 56 minutes 25.52 seconds to claim a convincing win over Germany's Martin, who was chasing a fourth-successive title. Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands finished third. "I knew it would be difficult on the final loop, but I paced it perfectly and still had pace in the final few kilometres," Wiggins explained. "On my last descent, I heard on the radio that I was 10 seconds up but I pushed all the way to the line because I did not want to take any risks." Wiggins collapsed to the ground in exhaustion at the finish line but recovered to raise his thumb in celebration when Martin crossed the line. Victory in north-west Spain gives the 2012 Tour de France winner a world time trial title to go with his three national titles and gold at the London Olympics in the discipline. "To add the world title is just fantastic. Now I've got the set," added Wiggins. It is the perfect end to a patchy year on the road and track for Wiggins, who won the Tour of California in May, but then missed out on Team Sky selection for the Tour de France and had to settle for silver in the velodrome in the team pursuit at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. His success means he becomes the first British male rider to take world time trial gold since Chris Boardman in the inaugural race in 1994. Emma Pooley was the last British female to win gold in the event in 2010. Wiggins has announced that he intends to return to the track for the Rio Olympics in 2016 and also hopes to attempt to break the hour record set by Germany's Jens Voigt last week. Result: 1. Bradley Wiggins (GB) 56mins 25.52secs 2. Tony Martin (Ger) +26secs 3. Tom Dumoulin (Ned) +41secs 4. Vasil Kiryienka (Bel) +48secs 5. Rohan Dennis (Aus) +58secs Selected other: 20. Alex Dowsett (GB) +2mins 35secs

Summary: Great Britain's Sir Bradley Wiggins clinched his first road world title with a thrilling time trial victory at the World Championships in Ponferrada.


The same could be said of the US Federal Reserve's highly anticipated decision, and the ensuing markets and currency reactions in Asia. When Janet Yellen failed to raise rates in September, pointing the finger at China's economic instability, markets in Asia went beserk. But this time around don't expect a meltdown on regional stock markets. Asian investors are, frankly, fed up with waiting for the Fed. This was a decision that everyone has been expecting. In fact, according to a Reuters poll, the probability that the Fed was going to raise rates stood at 90% before the meeting. So investors in Asia are prepared - and have been for the last couple of years. And they've been reacting - we've seen money being pulled out of equities in emerging markets in preparation for this move. Capital outflows from emerging markets are on track to exceed the amount that went into them this year for the first time since 1988, according to the Institute of International Finance. So if immediate reaction isn't the concern - then what are the longer-term consequences of this rate rise for Asia? Here are the three things you should watch out for: When the US raises rates, the US dollar tends to rise which means other currencies depreciate against it. And that's going to hurt some emerging markets. Moody's has already highlighted the issues for emerging markets: the ones where domestic challenges have added to exchange rate problems will be the worst off. So in Asia - that's Indonesia, Malaysia and possibly India. Then there's debt - or what some are calling the "perfect storm" for emerging markets. RBC Capital Markets says emerging markets currencies will be weaker in 2016 and that Asia's debt levels as a percentage of GDP have converged to those of the developed world. That's worrying for Asian companies who have a lot of their debt in US dollars, but make their profits in local currencies - especially if there are more rate rises to come. And that's what many in the market are betting on, as Shang Jin-Wei, chief economist at the Asian Development Bank told me. US rate rises tend to be followed by a series of rate rises so "from that point of view, even though we're very prepared, there can be some elements of surprises." So what's an Asian central bank to do? Raising rates like the US means that you risk stifling growth and hitting consumption. Cutting rates means more capital outflow and a weaker currency - which could lead to more emerging market debt. But it's not all doom and gloom. Capital Economics says that Asian economies are much less vulnerable now than they've been in the past to deal with all of this and believe the economic environment in Asia should improve next year. So until then Asian central banks - and Asian investors - are likely going to have a tread a fine balance, preparing themselves for the worst, and ready to react when the timing is right.

Summary: Life, it has been said, is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.


Ms Jones told BBC Radio Wales she did not want to give up being an AM to go to Brussels to replace Nathan Gill, UKIP Wales leader. Mr Gill has been told by the UKIP assembly group and the UKIP party chairman Steve Crowther to stop "double-jobbing" as an AM and MEP. Mr Gill said those making such calls were doing it out of "malice". "We've got Brexit now and I think that, possibly, it may be best to leave that role unfilled," Ms Jones told the Good Morning Wales programme. "I'm surprised I've not been formally asked what I'd like to do." Ms Jones, the South Wales West AM, is one of two people who could take up the role of UKIP Wales MEP if Mr Gill made it vacant - the other being South Wales East AM David Rowlands. She would, in theory, have first refusal over Mr Rowlands as she was third in the 2014 UKIP European Parliament election list and Mr Rowlands was fourth. The number two candidate, James Cole, is no longer in the party. Asked if she would give up her position as AM to become an MEP, she said: "No I wouldn't. I'm not interested. Since becoming an AM I've thrown myself totally into what I'm elected to do. "They'd have to ask David Rowlands obviously but neither of us have formally been asked, although David may say 'oh no I'm settling in in his role', and he is actually, he's doing very well. "Quite frankly I think it's impossible to do two jobs, especially when one is in Brussels and Strasbourg and the other is in the Welsh Assembly. It's a very difficult situation."

Summary: UKIP's Welsh MEP post may be better left unfilled as a result of Brexit, party AM Caroline Jones has said.


The England centre, 24, whose deal at Welford Road runs out next summer, is attracting interest from several sides. "We are having some very positive discussions with Manu and and we are very positive about him staying here," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester. "Manu is world class. Clearly people are trying to lure him to smaller clubs by offering him huge amounts of money." Reports had suggested Tuilagi had been offered £1.6 million over three years by Worcester Warriors, although Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan said on Wednesday there was no truth in the claims. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young also said his club have made no move for the England centre, but Saracens, Bristol and Toulouse are also thought to be interested. Samoa-born Tuilagi, who joined Leicester as a youngster and has since won 25 caps for England, has been offered a new deal by the Tigers. "I didn't think other clubs were allowed to speak with him until 1 January, so that surprises me," Cockerill added. "Manu is a sensible lad and I am sure we will come to a sensible conclusion and all indications are that it's the case. "I am confident that Manu will stay. He has a lot of rugby left in him. "He is a good lad. We have looked after him very well and we are confident he will stay a Leicester player."

Summary: Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill believes other clubs are offering big money to Manu Tuilagi.


Karam Chand was born in a small rural village in the Punjab in northern India in 1905. His family worked in farming and, in keeping with the custom of the time, he married at a young age. His bride Kartari was born in the same district in 1912. According to their passports, that currently makes Mr Chand 106 and his wife 99 years old. They wed in a typical Sikh ceremony in December 1925 and have just celebrated their 86th year together as a married couple, which they think may qualify them as the UK's longest married husband and wife. Mr Chand, who came with his family to Bradford in 1965, said there was no real secret to living a long married life. "Eat and drink what you want but in moderation. I have never held back from enjoying my life," he said. Mr Chand smokes one cigarette a day before his evening meal and also drinks a tot of whiskey or brandy three or four times a week. His daughter-in-law Rani said it was something he looked forward to. The couple have eight children, 27 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. Many Asian people in the UK live within traditional extended families and the Chands are no exception. They live with their youngest son Satpal, together with his wife and two of their four children. "We really feel blessed that our parents are still here with us and every day is a bonus," Satpal said. "I think that keeping the minds of older people active is the key to them staying alert and healthy. "If you have been given the privilege to look after your parents you must involve them fully in family life and never get angry with them, keep them happy and they will then look forward to getting up the next morning." Kartari Chand is looking forward to getting a letter from The Queen later this year when she celebrates her 100th birthday, but is more cautious about staying fit and healthy. "We have always eaten good wholesome food, there's nothing artificial in our diet but things like ghee (clarified butter), milk and fresh yogurt are what we like. "We know that being married for 86 years is a blessing, but equally we will be ready to go when it's time, it's all up to the will of God, but we really have lived a good life." Mrs Chand said that she and her husband enjoyed doing many things, such as eating meals together and going to the temple. However, she said some aspects of old age were difficult. "My eldest son died and that was hard for us because you don't expect to outlive your own children. "We have seen many other close family members depart and that's something we just have to live with." Mr Chand is now unable to walk any distance without assistance and needs a lot more care than his wife, who remains active and still has her own teeth. She said: "When you get so old your eyesight and hearing starts to get

Summary: A couple from Bradford who tied the knot in 1925 could be the UK's longest married husband and wife.


Worst affected is the Abruzzo region, still recovering from a 2009 quake, while towns hit in Marche and Lazio last year are also badly affected. More than 300,000 people are without power in Abruzzo and traffic has been disrupted in the Marche quake zone. Three deaths across Italy have been attributed to freezing weather. A man of 67 was found dead in the street in Ceglie Messapica, Puglia, and a homeless man of 53 was found dead in a square in Canicatti, Sicily. A man aged 67 died in Giulianova, Abruzzo, after falling from a boat into icy water. Fabrizio Curcio, head of the country's Civil Defence Department, told Italian radio the harsh weather was expected to last until Thursday night at the earliest. The temperature in Amatrice, Lazio, where 236 people were killed by the earthquake on 24 August, and Arquata del Tronto, Marche, where 46 died, is set to fall as low as -6C on Tuesday night, with more snow forecast. That quake left several thousand people homeless, while a further tremor on 30 October put 30,000 out of their homes. Up to 1.3 metres (4.3ft) of snow is lying on the ground in Marche, where some 20,000 people were without power on Tuesday, the regional authorities said. Camps for people made homeless by the quakes in Marche region are now closed with most people moved to hotels along the Adriatic coast or into secure houses, flats or container homes, the press office told the BBC on Tuesday. Meanwhile, buildings made fragile by the tremors are under renewed pressure from the weight of the snow. Notwithstanding the bad weather, the fire service has been continuing its earthquake recovery work in Norcia, Umbria, another town badly damaged by tremors. The cold snap continues to affect other parts of Southern Europe. Snow fell in Spain's Balearic islands as well as the east coast city of Valencia. Weather forecasters said temperatures in the Pyrenees mountains in northern Spain could fall as low as -30C.

Summary: Central Italy is in the grip of heavy snowfall and very low temperatures, adding to the disruption caused by recent huge earthquakes.


Officers are searching in Weston Park East in Bath, where the first foot was found by dog walkers in February. A second foot was found in a garden of a property in Weston Park in July, and another was found in a garden in nearby Cranwells Park two weeks ago. Police said they do not believe a crime has been committed and it is likely they were all medical exhibits. Det Insp Paul Catton, of Avon and Somerset Police, said he "strongly believed" the finds had originated from "an old private collection". A spokesman said the new search was being carried out "to try to find anything which may be connected to the discoveries". "All three feet show signs they have come into contact with animals and it is likely that they have been moved to the locations they were found from a specific source," Det Insp Catton added. "Regulations are significantly stricter these days compared to several decades ago and we believe the source is most probably someone who used the feet as a teaching aid. "It is also possible these feet may have been found by someone who has then innocently buried them in an attempt to dispose of them and they have then been unearthed by animals, or that animals have disturbed the location they were stored." Tests on the first foot showed it was human but found very little DNA, and preliminary results from on the second foot were similar. The third foot, found on 5 August, is still undergoing tests. Mr Catton said officers were searching the whole of the park and the grounds of a nearby school. "The school is in a central location to the sites where all three feet have been found and the last thing we want is for a member of the public to come across one of these unpleasant finds. "We believe someone knows something about where these feet have come from and would appeal for them to get in touch," he added.

Summary: Police are searching a park in an area where three severed human feet have been found this year.


The government said it has now turned back 633 asylum seekers who were trying to reach Australia by boat. In July a small wooden boat, the first "illegal" vessel entry into Australia since June 2014, was spotted off the north-west coast. It was not seen again and the government refused to say where it was. The government usually refuses to comment on boat turn-backs but Immigration Minister Peter Dutton on Thursday told local media: "There were 46 people on a recent venture that did come from Vietnam; we have negotiated their return to Vietnam." "The boat that they came on has been scuttled and we have been able to stare down that venture," he said, adding that the government's policy was not to allow people arriving "illegally" by boat to settle in Australia. Australia has been sending migrant boats back to where they came from since December 2013. Refugee support group VOICE said three of the Vietnamese refugees were now in police detention in Vietnam. Spokesman Trug Doan told the Australian Broadcasting Corp they were being held "for an indefinite period for interrogation". The Greens party has said the turn-backs are a breach of the UN's Refugee Convention. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said last month that handing the Vietnamese group back to Vietnam would be refoulement - the expulsion of people entitled to claim refugee status.

Summary: Australia has confirmed it sent 46 asylum seekers back to Vietnam after intercepting their boat off the coast of Western Australia last month.


Officials said the attack happened at the Europa shopping centre in the capital Minsk. Eyewitnesses spoke of a masked man chasing terrified shoppers on Saturday evening. Police later arrested the 18-year-old suspect. The motive for the attack was not immediately clear. "When he took out a chainsaw, shoppers first thought it was some kind of game," police spokesman Alexander Lastovsky told Reuters. "Then he cut one woman badly with the chainsaw and hit her with a hammer. She died. He also attacked others." The injured woman was taken to a local hospital. The attacker had brought the chainsaw and the axe to the shopping centre in a guitar case.

Summary: A young man has attacked people with a chainsaw and an axe at a shopping centre in Belarus, killing one woman and injuring another.


In less than 24 hours, the country's chosen to leave the European Union, abandoning an institution, a concept that's been part of the fabric our institutions since the 1970s. As a result, the prime minister has left his job. Some Labour MP s are trying to unseat their leader. And Scotland faces another referendum on the other union. Tonight it's not clear who'll be running the country in three months time. It's not certain if the leader of the opposition will stay in post beyond the weekend. But remember, this was not an overwhelming surge to one side. Decisive yes, but a move in the margins. Yet in a referendum - a binary vote - that produces a result that could change everything for generations. It is not so much that politics has been turned upside down - but the conventional rules, the expectations - have been scrapped by one decision. The prime minister's judgement, his mistaken analysis of how to win the public over, cost his job. And almost the entire establishment's appeal to the electorate was rejected. One member of the cabinet pointed to the problem: "they don't believe us". Right now, it is not at all inevitable that's a problem the current generation of politicians will ever be able to fix.

Summary: Tourists and members of the public drifted to Westminster's College Green - to witness this day, and also, perhaps, just to make sense of what's going on.


Yn ôl y corff sydd yn cynrychioli busnesau gofal, mae nifer yn ymladd i gadw fynd ac yn wynebu argyfwng recriwtio wrth i ysbytai ac archfarchnadoedd gystadlu am weithwyr. Mae Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru yn dweud bod yn rhaid i awdurdodau lleol gael fwy o arian i dalu cyflogau gwell i'r gweithwyr. Dadl Llywodraeth Cymru yw eu bod wedi buddsoddi yn y sector, gan gynnwys rhoi mwy o gyllid fel bod cynghorau yn gallu cwrdd â'r cynnydd yn y cyflog byw cenedlaethol sydd yn dod i rym mis Ebrill. Gofynnodd rhaglen BBC Week In Week Out wrth awdurdodau lleol faint o gwmnïau oedd wedi tynnu yn ôl o ddarparu pecyn gofal ar ôl cael cytundeb. Dywedodd 13 o'r 21 cyngor wnaeth ymateb eu bod wedi wynebu'r sefyllfa yma. Mae Colin Angel o Gymdeithas Gofal Cartref Prydain, sef y corff sydd yn cynrychioli cwmnïau gofal, yn dweud bod nifer o'u haelodau yn ei chael hi'n anodd i oroesi. "Yr hyn rydyn ni'n clywed yng Nghymru yw bod rhai darparwyr mewn cyfyng gyngor, ac yn ceisio yn galed i ganfod ffordd i barhau fel busnes gyda'r cyfraddau maen nhw'n cael eu talu gan y cynghorau lleol." Mae'n dweud bod peryg y bydd cwmnïau yn dod i ben, a hynny yn gyflymach mewn ardaloedd gwledig. Un cwmni wnaeth orfod rhoi'r gorau i ddarparu gofal i gyngor Conwy oedd Cymorth Llaw. Roedd y cyngor wedi cynnig talu £15 yr awr i'r cwmni, ond penderfynodd y busnes nad oedd hynny'n ddigon o arian. Dywedodd pennaeth Cymorth Llaw, Ken Hogg: "Doedden ni ddim yn meddwl y bydden ni yn gallu darparu'r lefel yma o wasanaeth am y pris roedd Conwy yn gynnig. Ac mi oedden ni yn gyndyn iawn, iawn o adael ond mi oedd yn rhaid i ni adael. "Ar ddiwedd y dydd, busnes ydyn ni. Mae'n rhaid i'n rheolwr banc fod yn hapus. Mae'n rhaid i ni wneud rhyw fath o elw ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn." Mae Cyngor Conwy yn dweud eu bod wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi pobl fregus mewn cymunedau, er yr heriau ariannol. Yn ôl Steve Thomas o Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, mae cynghorau angen mwy o arian er mwyn gallu talu cyflogau gwell i ofalwyr. "Fel mae hi, oni bai ein bod ni'n cael mwy o arian yn dod mewn i'r system mae gyda ni broblem fawr," meddai. "Does 'na neb yn ymfalchïo yn y cyflog rydyn ni yn talu'r rhai sy'n gweithio yn y sector gofal cymdeithasol." Ym mis Mawrth cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU £2bn yn ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol yn Lloegr, a £200m i Gymru. Ond dyw Llywodraeth Cymru ddim wedi penderfynu eto beth fyddan nhw'n gwneud efo'r arian. Mae'r gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb am y maes, Rebecca Evans AC, yn dweud mai penderfyniad i gabinet Llywodraeth Cymru yw sut i wario'r arian ond eu bod nhw'n gweithredu i ddatrys problemau recriwtio ac y bydd cyflwyno cynllun gofrestru ar gyfer gweithwyr yn 2020 yn helpu. "Bydd hynny yn rhoi'r clod dyledus i'r gweithlu, achos pan mae'n dod at edrych ar ôl ein pobl fwyaf bregus, pa swydd sydd yn fwy

Summary: Mae dros hanner cynghorau Cymru yn dweud bod cwmnïau gofal wedi rhoi'r gorau i ddarparu eu gwasanaethau oherwydd cyfyngiadau ariannol.


The Canadian, 28, was picked as the Devils' forward of the year in 2016-17 after scoring 24 goals and 29 assists in 66 games. Haddad was a dominant force last season, playing the role of a power forward as Devils won the Elite League. "Joey Haddad was outstanding for us last season," said Devils player-coach Andrew Lord. "There were a number of games that he completely took over or broke open a game for us and that is what makes fans love him so much. "He is a big body and dominates in the corners and is tough to play against. "There were a number of teams that wanted him to make a move but he loves it here and I don't really think he entertained any other offers." Haddad will also be a vital part of Devils' Champions Hockey League campaign, with the Welsh side drawn in Group E against HC Davos from Switzerland, Bili Tygri Liberec of the Czech Republic and Sweden's Vaxjo Lakers.

Summary: Cardiff Devils attacker Joey Haddad has re-signed for a fourth season with the Elite League champions.


Revenue rose to $20.26bn (Â£14bn) between January and March, from $17.26bn a year earlier. But Alphabet's share price fell about 6% in after-hours trading, as the revenue figure fell short of analysts' expectations. Net income for the quarter was $4.2bn, up from $3.5bn a year ago. The earnings report came one day after the European Commission issued formal antitrust charges against Google over claims that it abuses the dominant market position of its Android operating system. Google's advertising revenue jumped 16.2% in the first quarter to $18.02bn. The company said the number of ads, also known as paid clicks, jumped 29%. But the average price of online ads, known as cost-per-click, fell 9% in the quarter. Ruth Porat, chief financial officer at the parent company Alphabet, said the first quarter results represented a "tremendous start to the year", and that the company is "thoughtfully pursuing big bets and building exciting new technologies" which she hopes will put the company in a good position for long term growth. Google embarked on a restructuring drive late last year and created a new parent company - Alphabet. Under the rebranding, Google retained its best-known businesses, such as search, apps, YouTube and Android. Some of the newer entities, such as the investment and research divisions, the "smart-home" unit Nest, and the drone arm will be run under Alphabet.

Summary: Alphabet - Google's parent company - has reported a 17% rise in quarterly revenue after strong advertising sales on mobile devices.


President Trump has also dismissed the country's top lawyer, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she directed the Justice Department not to defend his Executive Order on this issue. Families separated from loved ones by the ban share their stories. Samuel Jacob was born in Syria but lives in Pittsburgh, US. He recently got married but cannot be with his wife. "I am an instructor in heart and lung transplant at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Although I was born in Syria, I carry dual US and British citizenship. "My wife is a dermatologist, is currently living in the south-western city of Sweida in Syria. She holds a Syrian passport so we are affected by this ban. "We got married last October in Lebanon and although we keep in touch via Skype, she is currently unable to be with me. "A lot of money has been spent on lawyers' fees, translation and paperwork but I want to be reunited with my wife. "Also, I'm nervous about leaving the United States in case I'm not able to get back in again. "I want President Trump to let me know when my wife can join me." Helen Honarpisheh is an Iranian citizen, but a permanent resident of the US, currently living in Durham, North Carolina. "I am a physician and work at a hospital in North Carolina. "My elderly parents live in Shiraz, Iran and were hoping to visit me. They were last here in 2011. "If you live in Iran, you either have to travel to Dubai or Turkey to get a visa to visit the US. "My parents went to Dubai and spent a lot of time and money on their visa application. "They purchased their tickets and had everything arranged. But now they are banned from coming to the US to visit their daughter. "I have studied for years, worked hard day and night and paid taxes in this country. "I believe I am entitled to the very basic human right of being able to see my loved ones. "This is very demoralizing. It's like I am trapped in a big prison."

Summary: The Trump administration is standing firm over its ban on refugees from seven countries despite court rulings and mass protests against the move.
