It is believed to be the first time teachers would have been given a special legal protection in this way. Education minister Esteban Bullrich's plan would add a 25% higher penalty if an offence was against a teacher. Mr Bullrich said it would make sure the public showed them more "respect". If the law is adopted by Argentina's congress it would mean any attack against a teacher would become an aggravated offence with increased penalties. It would apply to parents and students and would include verbal abuse or threats as well as physical violence. An offender attacking a teacher would receive a 25% longer prison sentence or pay a 25% bigger fine than if a similar offence had been committed against anyone else. The plan, developed by the education minister and Argentina's president, Mauricio Macri, is a way of supporting their government's "education revolution". "We knew we needed to raise the image of teachers in our society. Slowly, but steadily, their image had fallen," Mr Bullrich told the BBC. "There were increased cases of disrespect from parents and students and even aggression towards teachers. "That's when the idea of distinguishing teachers in our penal code came up. If you hit or shout at a teacher, then you are doing so towards the most important member in our society. "Without teachers we would not have ministers or presidents, we would not have the world today. Let us grant them that respect and distinguished treatment." More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective and how to get in touch John Bangs of Education International, an international federation of teachers' unions, supported the signal sent by the idea of tougher penalties for assaults on teachers. "'Schools are fundamental to their communities. If teachers are in fear, it means that children are in fear. Nothing could be more corrosive to confidence and learning. "Argentina's action might appear to be a simplistic response to complex problem, but it gives a powerful message that violence against a teacher is not only an individual assault but an assault on education." Argentina's education system, which has performed poorly in international tests, has faced waves of industrial unrest, and Mr Bullrich has campaigned to gain the support of teachers for education reform. As minister for education in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, he published his personal mobile phone number so that teachers could ring him directly with their problems. The minister said teachers thought no-one in government was listening to them and that was contributing to low morale and disaffection. Mr Bullrich gave out his mobile number for "questions, comments and complaints", in a bid to tackle teachers' practical worries such as errors with pay and allowances or problems with school buildings. "People didn't really know if it was true that I would answer," said Mr Bullrich when he launched the scheme. "This guy rang at 02:00 and really blasted me on the phone - 'You owe me money.' So I called him back at 02.15 and said, 'Hello this is the minister of education.'

Summary: An attack on a teacher would be punished with higher penalties than an attack on any other citizen under proposals in Argentina to raise the status of teaching.


His side beat Cheshire on Sunday to retain the title they won last year. However, with crowds at the final falling, there is speculation that the Rugby Football Union could take the game to a smaller ground in future. "Hopefully they don't take it away from the stadium, because young players want to play at this stadium," said Dawe. "It all depends on the RFU, doesn't it? How they keep this competition going, how they keep it alive." Cornwall have now reached the showpiece game in each of the last four years. The final of the competition, also known as the Bill Beaumont Cup, has been played at Twickenham since 1984. "It is a problem, it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination," Dawe added to BBC Sport. "All you can do is the best with what you're dealt and don't look at it too gloomily, but who knows what the future holds."

Summary: Cornwall coach Graham Dawe hopes the County Championship final is not moved from Twickenham as part of a potential revamp of the competition.


The duo are the first Robins players to agree to join Guernsey FC since the clubs agreed a partnership deal earlier this week. They are in Guernsey's squad for the trip to Herne Bay in Isthmian League Division One South. If the pair play they will become the first non-Guernsey players to feature for the Green Lions. "We're delighted to help Guernsey by sending Jake and Kodi to them for a month," Bristol City director of youth recruitment Brian Tinnion told the Guernsey FC website. "This forms part of our plans for a bigger partnership with Guernsey. Working with their manager Tony Vance, we're looking to only extend this over time. "We're already looking at the possibility of a pre-season friendly in Guernsey, potentially with the first team, or a Select XI including our under-23s."

Summary: Guernsey FC have signed Bristol City forward Jake Andrews and defender Kodi Lyons-Foster on month-long youth loans.


The Labour MP, who was shot and stabbed after holding an advice session for her constituents in West Yorkshire, had campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU and championed the contribution of immigrants to British society. She was also an active supporter of Syrian opposition groups against the country's President, Bashar al-Assad. US politician Gabrielle Giffords, herself the victim of an assassination attempt at a political rally in 2011, wrote on Twitter that she was "absolutely sickened" by the killing, praising Mrs Cox as "young, courageous, and hardworking. A rising star, mother, and wife". Ms Giffords survived being shot in the head in an attack that left six people dead and many injured. She was put in an induced coma and endured weeks of slow recovery. US Secretary of State John Kerry said the killing was "an assault on everyone who cares about and has faith in democracy". Germany's government tweeted about the "sad and terrible news of British MP Jo Cox", adding that "our thoughts are with her husband and children". French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Twitter that the assassination was an attack on the democratic ideal and called on people to "never accept that!" Spanish Prime Minster Mariano Rajoy said in a letter his British counterpart that "violence has no place in democracy" and asked Prime Minister David Cameron "to convey our deepest and sincere condolences to their families, relatives and all the British people". Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who also chairs the group of eurozone finance ministers, tweeted that the UK was "a beacon of peaceful politics, I hope the people of the UK can make their democratic choices serenly and in safety next week". Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg tweeted he was "saddened by the terrible murder" and included a statement from Mrs Cox's husband in his tweet. Media in Europe and the US report the killing, stressing the role of Mrs Cox as a determined campaigner for Britain to remain in the European Union in the forthcoming referendum on 23 June. The motive for the murder is still unclear but witnesses say the killer shouted "Put Britain first!" before repeatedly shooting and stabbing Mrs Cox. Campaigning in the EU referendum has been temporarily suspended, with British politicians widely condemning the attack and expressing their condolences for the family. Mrs Cox's role as a vocal supporter of Syrian opposition groups and refugee rights has also brought many expressions of solidarity and condolence. The Syrian White Helmets non-partisan volunteer rescue group tweeted: "Our thoughts and prayers are with @Jo_Cox1 and her family." The British MP had given a passionate speech on the crisis in the embattled Syrian city of Aleppo and was co-chair of a recently formed cross-party parliamentary group on Syria. Syrian journalists in exile have also expressed their grief at the death of someone who they saw as a strong voice of support. Before entering Parliament, Mrs Cox worked for a number of charities including Oxfam and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Oxfam chief executive Mark Goldring tweeted that all at Oxfam

Summary: Tributes to British MP Jo Cox have poured in from politicians and public figures around the world.


Media playback is not supported on this device The striker nodded home Craig Curran's cross and superb control allowed him to drill in a second. Scott Boden's shot, touched by defender Andrew Davies, was allowed to stand despite referee Andrew Dallas whistling before the ball had gone in. But Boyce replied with a towering header before a thumping shot from Ross Draper set up a frantic finale. The hosts pressed for a leveller in the final 15 minutes, with Jake Mulraney and Liam Polworth going close with fierce strikes. But County held on to pick up their first Premiership points, while Richie Foran's side are the only team yet to get off the mark after two matches. With both teams exiting the League Cup and opening with league defeats last weekend, the game opened at a whirlwind pace. Curran came into the County side to renew his often profitable partnership with Boyce and it paid off instantly. An inch perfect cross found Boyce completely neglected by the home defence and the Northern Irishman took advantage with an accurate downward header from 10 yards. Inverness were down to 10 men when the second goal arrived on 26 minutes. Full-back Kevin McNaughton hobbled off with a knee injury and before his replacement, Lewis Horner, could get on, Boyce took Richard Foster's deep cross down with a sublime first touch before cutting past David Raven and smashing a low shot confidently into the corner. County were well on top but the home team pulled one back in unusual circumstances shortly before half time. Draper lofted a long ball over the top for Boden to chase and the striker squeezed a shot against the challenging Davies, with the ball spinning into the far corner. Meanwhile, Dallas had blown his whistle and appeared to point to his assistant indicating a halt in play, only to immediately reverse that decision. County players crowded the official, with goalkeeper Scott Fox saying he had been distracted by the whistle, although he did make a wholehearted dive. Jim McIntyre's side put that behind them when Boyce completed his hat-trick early in the second half, rising at the back post to crash in a powerful header from a Christopher Routis free-kick. Inverness gave themselves hope when Draper crashed a powerful low effort past Fox from the edge of the penalty area. County then had to withstand a barrage of pressure as Erik Cikos headed off his own goal-line and Mulraney and Polworth went close. Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "Right from the off we were at it. Liam's second goal is fit to grace any league in the world. "Today we put our chances away. You need to be good in both boxes to win football matches." Goalkeeper Scott Fox: "The ball's in the box and just before Andrew Davies makes the block the whistle goes. I think he was saying it was offside. He made the wrong decision and admitted that to us which is a positive. "I think I'm saving the shot as well I'm going a little more hard

Summary: Liam Boyce scored a hat-trick as Ross County won an incident-packed derby with Inverness Caley Thistle.


The boys, then aged 10 and 11, lured their victims to a ravine and carried out a "sadistic" attack in Edlington, near Doncaster, in 2009. They were sentenced to five years' detention in 2010 and granted anonymity until the age of 18. The High Court has now given them lifelong anonymity on the grounds they would be "at serious risk of attack". Live updates on this story and others from South Yorkshire The boys were released earlier this year after a decision by the Parole Board, but lawyers sought an injunction to extend their anonymity as one of the boys approached his 18th birthday. The brothers claimed that to identify them would breach various sections of the Human Rights Act. The High Court ruling places them alongside only four other individuals who have lifelong anonymity orders in place: The brothers' victims, aged nine and 11, were throttled, hit with bricks, made to eat nettles, stripped and forced to sexually abuse each other in the attack. A sink was dropped on the older boy's head, and the younger boy had a sharp stick rammed into his arm and cigarettes pushed into the wound. Parts of the attack were recorded on a mobile phone. The brothers had moved to Edlington just three weeks before the attack to live with foster parents. Sentencing them at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge Justice Keith said they had committed the "prolonged, sadistic" crimes for no other reason than they got "a real kick out of hurting and humiliating" their victims.

Summary: Two brothers who tortured two other children in South Yorkshire have been granted lifelong anonymity.


Police said that at least eight carriages jumped the tracks near Muzaffarnagar, about 130km (80 miles) north of the capital Delhi. The cause of the crash, which happened on Saturday evening, is not yet clear. Rescuers worked into the night to find survivors. TV footage showed carriages piled on top of one another. The train had been travelling to the Hindu holy city of Haridwar, in the foothills of the Himalayas, from Puri, in eastern Odisha state. "We are struggling to pull out the injured and are waiting for gas cutters to arrive," said police officer Ajay Pandey at the scene. "It's too dark to launch a fully fledged search operation but our teams are trying their best." Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his condolences to families of the victims and pledged all possible assistance. Train accidents are fairly common in India. The railway system carries more than 22 million passengers a day and much of the equipment is out of date. An accident in Uttar Pradesh last November killed 150 people and another in the same state a year before killed 39.

Summary: At least 23 people were killed and more than 60 injured when a train derailed in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Athens' benchmark ATG index, which fell 5.9% on Friday, was down 5% in trading on Monday. A European Commission spokesman said while progress was made at Sunday's talks "significant gaps" remained. Europe wants Greece to make spending cuts worth €2bn (£1.44bn), to secure a deal that will unlock bailout funds. Greek bank stocks were hit hardest on Monday morning with Athens' Stock Exchange FTSE Banks Index falling 10%. National Bank of Greece fell 10.6% and Attica and Bank of Piraeus both plunged 12%. More widely shares across Europe were lower on heightened fears of a default and messy Greek exit from the eurozone in just over two weeks' time. Greece must repay more than €1.5bn of loans to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the end of the month and promise further economic reforms to receive around €7bn bailout funds, which have been delayed by three months amid growing fears the government has run out of money altogether. Sticking points between Greece and the IMF and EU remain reforms to VAT, pensions and a primary budget surplus target for this year and next year. Talks were reported to have broken up after just 45 minutes on Sunday. Greek deputy prime minister Yannis Dragasakis said that Athens was still ready to negotiate with its lenders. He said Greek government proposals submitted on Sunday had fully covered the fiscal deficit as demanded. But on Monday Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras warned Athens would stand its ground until its creditors become "realistic". "We will wait patiently until the institutions become more realistic," Mr Tsipras wrote in Greek national newspaper Ephimarida ton Syndakton adding that "political opportunism" was driving the creditors to keep pressing Athens to make cuts to pensions. He called on the IMF and EU to "meditate" on the idea that: "We are not only the heirs of a long history of struggle. We are also carrying on our shoulders the dignity of a people, and the hope of the peoples of Europe." Meanwhile on Monday, the president of Germany's central bank Jens Weidmann, warned Greece "time was running out" adding that it was now clearly up to the government in Athens to act. IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard said in a blog post that an agreement will require "difficult decisions", with "tough choices and tough commitments to be made on both sides". Eurozone finance ministers will discuss Greece when they meet on Thursday. The gathering is regarded as Greece's last chance to strike a deal. The Commission spokesman said: "President [Jean-Claude] Juncker remains convinced that with stronger reform efforts on the Greek side and political will on all sides, a solution can still be found before the end of the month." €320bn Greeces debt mountain €240bn European bailout €56bn Greece owes Germany 177% countrys debt-to-GDP ratio 25% fall in GDP since 2010 26% Greek unemployment rate How serious for us is the Greek tragedy?

Summary: Greek shares have fallen sharply after the latest round of talks with EU officials in Brussels broke down without agreement on Sunday.


The ex-Villa player and Nottingham Forest boss, 51, quit his role as Chris Hughton's number two prior to Friday's 1-1 draw between the two sides. "When I heard Colin was interested he shot to the top of the pile," Villa boss Steve Bruce told the club website. "We interviewed two or three people but once I knew Colin was available there was only one person I wanted here." The move to the West Midlands gives Calderwood, who also previously managed Hibernian and Northampton Town, a shorter daily commuting distance from his Northampton home. Media playback is not supported on this device A Brighton statement released on Friday said Calderwood, who was placed on gardening leave on 12 November, had left the club for a job "elsewhere". "We have to move on," added Hughton. "We have a team that is very well drilled at this moment. My main concern is that we have no disruption here. I will think long and hard about bringing someone in that position." Bruce took over as Villa boss on 12 October, bringing in former Birmingham City player Stephen Clemence as head coach, having had him as part of his backroom team at Sunderland and Hull City. The club also named Ian Atkins as their new chief scout/head of European recruitment. Villa director of football Steve Round added: "We are delighted to secure the services of Colin. He is an excellent coach and an outstanding person. "He has a wealth of experience at the highest level and will be a great addition to our management team."

Mohammed Haji Sadiq denies committing 15 child sex offences over a 10-year period. Mr Sadiq, from the Cyncoed area of the city, taught Koran Studies at the Madina mosque between 1976 and 2006. Cardiff Crown Court heard he "took advantage of his position". He is accused of eight offences of sexual assault of a child under 13 by touching and seven offences of indecent assault. The allegations involve four girls and are said to have taken place between 1996 and 2006 at the mosque, then situated on Woodville Road in the city. The court heard the girls were aged between five and 11 at the time of the alleged offences. The jury heard Mr Sadiq would touch the girls in intimate places. Prosecuting barrister Susan Thomas said one of the alleged victims was told to lay face down on the defendant's lap, while he touched her bottom. When interviewed by police the defendant said the allegations were made for political reasons within the mosque and that other allegations were for "financial motivation". Mr Sadiq has had no involvement with the mosque since 2006. The trial is due to last up to 10 days.

Summary: An 81-year-old man who taught at a Cardiff mosque created a culture where physical punishment "was the norm", a court has heard.


Its Green Budget, which looks at options and issues ahead of next month's Budget, says the UK's finances still have "a long way to go". To meet plans announced in last year's Autumn Statement departmental spending cuts of £51.4bn, or 14.1%, are needed in the next parliament, the IFS said. Cuts in the current parliament are expected to reach £38.3bn, or 9.5%. The IFS said that over the next four years the UK is planning the largest fiscal consolidation out of 32 advanced economies. It would mean public spending falling to its lowest share of national income since at least 1948, and fewer people working in the public sector than at any time since at least 1971. But the report is optimistic about UK growth, estimating zero inflation and 3% growth this year. Andrew Goodwin, senior economist at Oxford Economics and co-author of a chapter in the Green Budget, said: "The prognosis for the UK economy is pretty upbeat", and he predicted "a big turnaround in household finances" over the next year. The Green Budget said that spending cuts so far have been less than planned. Paul Johnson, director of the IFS, said: "Mr Osborne has perhaps not been quite such an austere Chancellor as either his own rhetoric or that of his critics might suggest. "And he has cut departmental investment spending by only half as much as he originally planned. "The public finances have a long way to go before they finally recover from the effects of the financial crisis. "One result is that he or his successor will still have a lot of fiscal work to do over the course of the next parliament." The report said that the high deficit of more than 5% of national income, and total debt of more than 80% of income, is because of poor economic performance at the start of this parliament. But the coalition government has implemented fewer real spending cuts than originally planned, no net additional tax rises have been implemented, and tax revenues have risen slower than expected. There has been no real reduction in spending on social security as the number of pensioners and the generosity of the state pension has risen. The IFS's Green Budget starkly illustrates the central economic choice facing voters in May: bigger cuts with a Tory or Tory-led government; higher public sector debt with a Labour one. The contest stems from their differing approaches to balancing the books. The Tories want an overall surplus by 2018 and surpluses thereafter in all "normal" years; Labour wants balance only on the current budget - that's day-to-day spending, excluding investment - by 2020. The IFS has provided a useful numerical way of understanding Tories' and Labour's conflicting economic visions - which is essentially that the Conservatives believe the imperative is to cut debt and the size of the state, whereas Labour wants potentially bigger budgets for building roads, rail and schools, and for funding the police and prisons. Both parties promise to protect spending on health, education and overseas aid. Read Robert Peston in full here.

Summary: The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said that the worst of the UK's spending cuts are still to come.


The Lancet Oncology review, which looked at incidence rates for 27 cancers in 184 countries, found four main infections are responsible. These four - human papillomaviruses, Helicobacter pylori and hepatitis B and C viruses - account for 1.9m cases of cervical, gut and liver cancers. Most cases are in the developing world. The team from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in France, part of the World Health Organization, says more efforts are needed to tackle these avoidable cases and recognise cancer as a communicable disease. 'Preventable' The proportion of cancers related to infection is about three times higher in parts of the developing world, such as east Asia, than in developed countries like the UK - 22.9% versus 7.4%, respectively. BBC Health: In depth - cancer Nearly a third of cases occur in people younger than 50 years. Among women, cancer of the cervix accounted for about half of the infection-related cancers. In men, more than 80% were liver and gastric cancers. Drs Catherine de Martel and Martyn Plummer, who led the research, said: "Infections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites are some of the biggest and preventable causes of cancer worldwide "Application of existing public-health methods for infection prevention, such as vaccination, safer injection practice, or antimicrobial treatments, could have a substantial effect on the future burden of cancer worldwide." Vaccines are available to protect against human papillomavirus (HPV) - which is linked to cancer of the cervix - and hepatitis B virus - an established cause of liver cancer. And experts know that stomach cancer can be avoided by clearing the bacterial infection H. pylori from the gut using a course of antibiotics. Commenting on the work, Dr Goodarz Danaei from Harvard School of Public Medicine in Boston, the US, said: "Since effective and relatively low-cost vaccines for HPV and HBV are available, increasing coverage should be a priority for health systems in high-burden countries." Jessica Harris of Cancer Research UK said: "It's important that authorities worldwide make every effort to reduce the number of infection-related cancers, especially when many of these infections can be prevented. In the UK, infections are thought to be responsible for 3% of cancers, or around 9,700 cases each year. "Vaccination against HPV, which causes cervical cancer, should go a long way towards reducing rates of this disease in the UK. But it's important that uptake of the vaccination remains high. At a global level, if the vaccine were available in more countries, many thousands more cases could be prevented."

Summary: One in six cancers - two million a year globally - are caused by largely treatable or preventable infections, new estimates suggest.


Dunelm House was built in the 1960s and although fans believe it to be a prime example of the architecture, it has not been given listed status. The university said the concrete structure needed repairs costing Â£14.7m and wants to demolish it. A petition calling for it to be refurbished and maintained has attracted hundreds of signatures. The building splits opinion in the city, with some residents referring to it as a "concrete carbuncle". However, architect James Perry, from the Something Concrete and Modern project, which is documenting post-war buildings, described it as "brilliant" and "incredibly polite for a modernist building". He said: "It is expensive to demolish and dispose of a building. "I would say as an architect we need to be looking to to reuse, recycle, extend or adapt our buildings rather than disposing of them because we don't like the way they look." Durham University said that if demolition went ahead then the replacement building would be of high quality and a world class design for such a sensitive location.

Summary: Campaigners have called for Durham University's "brutalist" student union building to be saved from demolition.


On Wednesday, the electric carmaker reported a first quarter loss of $282m (Â£195m) up from $154m last year. The loss was in line with investors' expectations, and the announcement that it was increasing production sent its shares up 4% in after-hours trading. Tesla had been struggling to ramp up production of its cars including its newest Model X SUV. Production of the Model X rose from 507 in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 2,659 in the first quarter of 2016. The company confirmed it was on track to deliver 80,000 to 90,000 electric vehicles this year. Tesla said it had seen demand rise across all its models, especially its Model 3 - the carmaker's first mass-market product. Deliveries of the Model 3 are due to hit the market in 2017 and the company received 325,000 orders for the car within a week of announcing it. This could result in $14bn in future sales. To meet that demand Tesla has cut two years off its timeline for ramping up production. "Increasing production five-fold over the next two years will be challenging and will likely require some additional capital, but this is our goal," chief executive Elon Musk said in a latter to investors. Tesla said its capital expenditure - money spent to grow the company - would probably increase by 50%. Some investors have been concerned about Tesla's cash flow. The company has been spending money to increase its manufacturing facilities. Though it has seen orders rise, the carmaker has yet to make a profit. Since the start of the year Tesla has faced some production hurdles. A shortage of parts for its Model X stalled production in January and February. On Wednesday, Tesla announced two of its manufacturing heads were stepping down from their roles. Greg Reichow, vice president of production will take a leave of absence as soon as a successor can be found. Josh Ensign, vice-president of manufacturing, is also leaving the company.

Summary: Tesla Motors says it is on track to produce 500,000 vehicles in 2018, two years earlier than expected.


Officers received a report of an attack on a woman, 19, at Gorsedd Gardens near Cardiff Civic Centre at 04:30 BST on Thursday. Police said the man, 23, from Cardiff, had been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault. He has been taken to Cardiff Bay police station.

Summary: A man has been arrested in connection with an alleged sex attack at gardens in Cardiff city centre.


Eight houses on the A3055 Undercliff Drive on the Isle of Wight were evacuated in 2014. One family complained to the Local Government Ombudsman over the council's response to the evacuation and subsequent work on the road. The council agreed to pay Â£5,000 compensation to the family. Emergency services helped residents leave their homes on Undercliff Drive - between Niton and St Lawrence - following the landslip after heavy rain in February 2014. The road was closed with properties only accessible on foot. In 2016, a temporary route to provide full access for local residents was created. Council statements in the years following the landslip insisted householders were "an absolute priority" and said they would be "fully informed of progress" on road works. The ombudsman's report said: "I also have seen no persuasive evidence to show it properly planned and adequately managed the situation." It also said its road plans were "disjointed and reactive" and it did not give "timely and clear responses" to householders. Delays in carrying out work were blamed on a "lack of effective liaison and project planning". The ombudsman said the unnamed family, some of whom had long-term medical conditions, suffered "avoidable distress" due to the council's actions. The council was also ordered to help pay the family's costs in returning their house to a habitable condition. A spokeswoman said: "The council has worked with the family to ensure that the recommendations of the report are being met. "The family is now living in their home and work to meet the recommendations remain ongoing, in close consultation with the family, as required."

Summary: A council's response to a collapsed road following a landslip was "disjointed", a local government watchdog has found.


Ramunas Macnoris is charged over separate gun attacks in Newry, County Down, early last Thursday when two men, both aged 32, were shot in the legs. The 26-year-old, of Lambfield House, Dungannon, was also charged with having a firearm. The accused, who is originally from Lithuania, was remanded in custody, A detective objected to bail, saying police feared he would reoffend, flee the country or interfere with witnesses. However, a defence lawyer argued he could be released under stringent conditions, including staying 40 miles away from Newry. Refusing bail, the judge said there were "genuine fears" about the concerns raised by the detective. The accused is due to appear in court again via videolink next month.

Summary: A man charged with attempted murder and kidnapping is allegedly part of an international drugs smuggling gang, a court has heard.


The specialist, Dr Howard Kornfeld, was unable to make it from California to Minnesota immediately but sent his son. In a strange turn of events, it was his son, Andrew Kornfeld, who called police after joining Prince's staff to search for the missing singer. The Kornfelds' lawyer said neither had met Prince before his death. William Mauzy told reporters on Wednesday that Prince's team contacted Dr Howard Kornfeld on 20 April, the day before Prince died. Unable to make it to Minnesota, the doctor dispatched his son and called a local doctor, who cleared his morning schedule but never saw the singer. When Andrew Kornfeld, who works with his father but is not a doctor, arrived at Prince's Paisley Park home, he was told that the singer was missing. He joined members of staff to search the property and made the emergency call when Prince's unresponsive body was found. Mr Mauzy said the plan was to stabilise him in Minnesota, before flying him to California to seek treatment at Dr Kornfeld's Recovery Without Walls rehab centre in Mill Valley. The lawyer confirmed that Andrew Kornfeld had been interviewed by police, but was protected by Minnesota's Good Samaritan law. The law offers some legal protections to those who make emergency calls, to encourage them to do so. No details have been released from Prince's autopsy exam, but investigators are looking into whether he died from an overdose and if a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death. They are also trying to establish whether a doctor was on the singer's plane when it made an emergency landing less than a week before he died. The musician was found unconscious on the plane after it stopped in Moline, Illinois, on 15 April. Detectives investigating his death have asked to see fire and ambulance records related to the emergency landing. It emerged on Wednesday that emergency calls were made from the Paisley Park complex 46 times in the past five years. A log released by Minnesota authorities showed the 911 calls related to everything from medical emergencies to false fire alarms. It included one call in 2011 in which an unidentified woman said she was concerned about Prince's cocaine use, but no police action was taken.

Summary: Prince's team requested emergency support from a leading addiction specialist just a day before the singer died, the doctor's lawyer has revealed.


This is the first assault by jihadists in the West African state, raising fears of more instability in the region. The attack suggests al-Qaeda-linked militants are increasingly focusing on France's former colonies, as a way of getting back at France for its leading role in fighting them in West Africa. The former colonies have become increasingly vulnerable following a French-led military operation in northern Mali in 2013, which beat back al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and its local affiliates after they seized control of the region and threatened to take the capital, Bamako. The insurgents retreated to their desert hide-outs and regrouped and in the last year have launched high-profile gun and bomb attacks. In November, they killed 22 people in an attack on a luxury hotel in Bamako. In January, at least 30 people were killed in an assault on a hotel and cafe popular with foreigners in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou. These were the first such attacks in the two cities, threatening the vital tourism industry. No. Muslims in former French colonies in sub-Saharan Africa have always practised a moderate version of Islam, embracing French culture and its people far more than their counterparts in North Africa. In fact, Ivory Coast's Muslim President Alassane Ouattara is married to French national, Dominique Nouvian, who was born Jewish but later became Catholic. Senegal's former President Abdoulaye Wade is also married to a French national, Viviane Wade. So, the growth of militant Islam in these countries has come as a shock. Groups like AQIM may be exploiting high levels of unemployment to gain recruits. The recent attacks have all been linked to veteran jihadist Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who was behind the audacious siege on the well-secured Algerian gas plant in 2013. Following the Burkina Faso attack, Senegal, another former French colony popular with tourists, ordered that security be tightened at hotels. This followed the arrest in Senegal of some imams in November on suspicion of promoting radical Islamist ideology or having close ties with the Boko Haram, a militant group which launched an insurgency in Nigeria, a former British colony, in 2009. Senegalese officials raised fears that Boko Haram, already active in Niger, Chad and Cameroon, all former French colonies, was expanding its influence in West Africa. Boko Haram is affiliated to the Islamic State group, which is al-Qaeda's rival, and there is concern that competition between the two to be the most ruthless jihadi group could lead to more attacks in West Africa. France has about 3,000 troops in the region as part of Operation Barkhane, which French officials describe as the "pillar" of their counter-terrorism strategy in the region. The troops are spread across five countries - Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad. Apart from tackling militants in these countries, Operation Barkhane aims to break up arms-smuggling gangs, which operate freely across the region because of its porous borders. Many of the weapons come from Libya, which has turned into what some analysts call an arms bazaar since the overthrow of long-serving ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Summary: Militant Islamists are expanding their influence in West Africa, with at least 18 people killed in an attack on a beach resort in Ivory Coast on Sunday.


The man, who was 31, was shot by police on Francis Street at around 09:35 GMT. A Taser was also used. The IPCC said officers had fired more than one shot at the man. Humberside Police said armed officers had been sent to the Holderness Road area at about 09:20 GMT following reports of a man carrying an axe. More on this and other Hull stories The IPCC, which is investigating the shooting, said: "At this stage, the IPCC understands that officers fired more than one shot at the man, at around 09:35 on Francis Street. "During the incident a Taser was also discharged by police." The dead man has not been named but his family have been informed, it added. Earlier Humberside Police confirmed it had been responding to calls from members of the public and confirmed the force was not looking for any other individuals in connection with the incident. One builder working nearby said he heard gunshots. "I heard two fires, that's all I heard really," he said. "It was scary, a scary situation." Rachael, who was attending a training course in a nearby building, said she heard two "loud bangs and screaming". "Then we looked out the window and he was laid on the floor," she said. "He had what looked like two large sort of cuts, slashes things low down and there was blood coming out of them. "There were about four or six (police officers) with him on the floor and he was trying to sit up, obviously he was bleeding quite a lot."

Summary: A man shot by police officers in Hull has died in hospital, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) watchdog has said.


The Chinese firm said it was pursuing its South Korean rival in two courts - one in California, the other in Shenzhen. According to Huawei, several of its cellular communications and software inventions had been used in Samsung's phones without its permission. Samsung told the BBC it would defend its business interests. The specific patents involved have not been disclosed. However, Huawei has said at least some of them are classed as Frand - an acronym referring to "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory". This means the Chinese company has committed itself to offering anyone a licence so long as they agree to a non-excessive compensation. This kind of agreement is common in the tech sector as it makes it possible for different companies' products to communicate and share data formats with each other. Huawei's intellectual property chief indicated it was seeking permission to use some of Samsung's technologies in return rather than seeking a payment. "Thus far, we have signed cross-licensing agreements with dozens of our competitors," said Ding Jianxing. "We hope Samsung will respect Huawei's R&D investment and patents, stop infringing our patents and get the necessary licence from Huawei, and work together with Huawei to jointly drive the industry forward." A Samsung spokesperson responded in an email to the BBC saying "we will thoroughly review the complaint and take appropriate action to defend Samsung's business interests". The action comes at a time when Oracle and Google are waiting for a jury to come back with a verdict in a copyright trial that has pitted the two giants against each other in the US. But such clashes have become less common since Apple and Samsung's high-profile courtroom battle in 2011, which led to both firms revealing secrets about their inner workings and racking up large legal bills. One expert noted that just because papers had been filed in the latest case did not mean Huawei and Samsung would necessarily fight a similar battle in public. "Huawei may have initiated litigation as lever to get a settlement," commented Ilya Kazi from the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys. "We don't know if it intends to go all the way through. Most cases do settle."

Summary: Huawei is suing its tech rival Samsung over claims that its patents have been infringed.

Summary: UKIP MEP Mike Hookem believes British and French authorities aren't doing nearly enough to stop migrants from coming to the UK.


The boy identified as Che Labastide-Wellington, from Harrow, was at a party in Belvedere Way, Kenton, on Saturday evening. Police said there had been a fight with a group of youths who tried to gain entry, Che was stabbed in a later scuffle in an alleyway at about 00:30 GMT. He was pronounced dead about an hour later. More on this story and news from London A 16-year-old boy was also stabbed and taken to a north London hospital for treatment. His remains in a stable condition, said police. They said Che had been invited to the party, which appeared to be "a well-run event with appropriate adults in attendance". They believed he was not involved in an early altercation with a group of youths denied entry to the party. But he appeared to have been targeted later, a spokesman said. Det Chief Insp Chris Jones said he wanted to speak to anyone who was near the alleyway between Belvedere Way and Tylers Gate when Che was stabbed. A man aged 21 has been arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to a west London police station for questioning. Two boys aged 15 and 16 were also arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed until mid-December. A third, aged 14, is being held on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.

Summary: A 17-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in north-west London was at a 16th birthday party targeted by gatecrashers, police say.


Ander Herrera's first-half strike gave United a lead they deserved in a game low on intensity with both teams already assured of places in next season's Champions League. Arsenal barely raised a gallop for the first hour but finally came to life in the closing stages and levelled when substitute Walcott's cross was diverted past keeper Victor Valdes off Tyler Blackett. Former Barcelona keeper Valdes was on for David De Gea, who went off with an injury on what may well be his final Old Trafford appearance as speculation mounts that he will make a summer move back to his native Spain with Real Madrid. One man who looked like he was definitely saying farewell to Old Trafford was on-loan striker Radamel Falcao, who struggled badly for an hour before being replaced by Robin van Persie, taking time to wave to United's fans as he walked off. Media playback is not supported on this device In his programme notes, manager Louis van Gaal suggested a club of United's stature should not be celebrating fourth place - but it was hard to argue with his assertion that this season has been a move in the right direction after the dismal brief reign of his predecessor David Moyes. Arsenal will confirm a third-placed finish, and a Champions League group-stage spot, with victory against the Black Cats at Emirates Stadium, leaving United to contest the competition's qualifiers. Van Gaal addressed Old Trafford briefly after the final whistle before the Stretford End chanted loudly for De Gea in a clear attempt to convince him that this was the place where he should stay. Whether it will work is open to question. Such was the lame nature of Arsenal's first-half performance that they failed to muster a single shot, the first time they have produced this miserable statistic since a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in November 2004. United were far more energetic and were rewarded with the lead after 30 minutes when Herrera arrived at the far post to meet Ashley Young's cross after he had escaped from Hector Bellerin. Van Gaal made a predictable change on the hour, replacing the labouring Falcao with Van Persie. The Colombian's body language suggested that this was the final time he would be seen at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player. The other United player whose future has become a matter of public debate, De Gea, showed why he is so highly prized when finally called into action just after the hour, reacting quickly to block Olivier Giroud as he threatened from an angle. Media playback is not supported on this device He needed Marcos Rojo to rescue him when Arsenal, finally showing signs of life, threatened again. Aaron Ramsey lofted the ball over the onrushing De Gea but Rojo recovered to clear the danger. De Gea then left the action prematurely as he went down injured and was replaced by Valdes. The debutant had barely had time to make any sort of contribution when Arsenal equalised, Walcott's cross taking a big deflection off Blackett to wrong-foot the keeper.

Summary: Arsenal will secure third place in the Premier League if they beat Sunderland on Wednesday after Theo Walcott's deflected cross gave them a late equaliser and a point at Manchester United.


The Dons made an offer for the former St Johnstone forward, 24, in June but the deal was delayed after a managerial change at the Championship club. May, who has one Scotland cap to his name, was given his Saints debut as a 16-year-old by Dons boss Derek McInnes. "The manager has made no secret about trying to get me in the past, which is flattering," said May. "It's good to finally get the deal done which I think is right for both parties and I just can't wait to get started." May make close to 80 appearances for St Johnstone, enjoying loan spells at Alloa Athletic and Hamilton Academical, before moving to Sheffield Wednesday in August 2014 and on to Preston in January 2015. But he has been restricted to just 13 outings in the last two seasons, scoring just one goal. "I'm obviously delighted to get Stevie on board and he's a player I've enjoyed working with in the past and have been keen to work with again," said McInnes. "To get a 24-year-old international player on a four-year deal is a great piece of business by the club and I'd like to thank the board for their assistance in making it happen." May will go straight into the squad for Saturday's Premiership visit to Ross County, subject to clearance. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: Aberdeen have completed the signing of Preston North End striker Stevie May on a four-year deal.


Japanese-owned chemical firm Sekisui Alveo said production at its Merthyr Tydfil Industrial Park plant will end by March 2018. The plant will be decommissioned in four stages over the next three years, the company said. It is part of a move to relocate production to Roermond in the Netherlands, it added. Alan Gunter, manufacturing director at the Merthyr Tydfil site, said the decision to decommission the plant had "not been taken lightly". "I am immensely proud of our highly professional workforce and I would like to thank them all for their commitment and dedication," he said. "We are aware that this is a difficult time for employees at the Merthyr Tydfil production plant and we will do everything to support them and their families during and after the plant's staged decommissioning. "We will also continue to collaborate with the local authorities in the coming months."

Summary: A foam factory in Merthyr Tydfil has announced it will close with the loss of 80 jobs.


Lindahl, 33, who has been with Chelsea since December 2014, won Olympic silver with her country in Rio in 2016. She helped the Blues win a domestic double in 2015, with their first league title following Women's FA Cup success. "She is probably the best goalkeeper in the world on current form," manager Emma Hayes told the club website. "We're really looking for continuity and stability with our squad as we look to challenge for honours, especially in European competition."

Summary: Sweden international goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl has signed an extended contract with Women's Super League One club Chelsea Ladies until 2019.


From nightclubs to sports grounds to television studios, it seems almost everyone's had a dip at doing the dab. But in a surprising new development, it has worked its way into the stuffy world of Irish politics. In an attempt to get down with the kids, Richard Boyd Barrett brought the dab to the Dáil - the Irish parliament. The left-wing Anti-Austerity Alliance People Before Profit politician pulled the move during a debate on the Irish government's Misuse of Drugs Bill on Thursday. In his speech he said politicians "need to start to listen to young people", adding that some in his Dún Laoghaire constituency in County Dublin had asked him: "Do you have any idea what's going on?" And he said they asked him to dish out a "bit of street language, from the street" to his fellow parliamentarians in the Dáil. "When kids are trying to make a positive statement on the street they do a thing called a dab," he said. "I don't know if you've ever seen it. "I don't know what it means. "But we need to learn what it means, learn what young people are talking about, what matters to them, what they consider positive activity." Speaking to The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1, Mr Boyd Barrett said "we need more" hip-hop in the Dublin parliament. "I don't pretend to be an expert on these things, but it's more from my own kids and young people that I've kind of learnt about these things," he said. "Hip-hop, for a lot of teenagers these days, is the language they speak - it's the cultural language of teenagers." He added that it's "very obvious" that many young people "are completely alienated from politics". "In any election, it's clear that the biggest demographic that don't vote and don't engage with politics are young people. "I think it's our responsibility to engage with young people."

Summary: It's a global dance craze born out of US hip-hop culture that's swept the world over the last year.


The Royal Stoke University Hospital has been designated as a "gym" where players can train their characters and fans have been seen roaming the site. A hospital spokesman said it was "unconcerned" as long as people played the game where it was safe. It warned it would get the "gym" removed if fans misused the A&E unit. "Clinical staff have stated categorically that no one should attempt to enter A&E to play the game," a spokesman said. "Should problems arise from the public misusing A&E to play Pokemon Go then the trust will have no choice but to contact the game's developer and have the 'gym' removed." More on this and other stories from Stoke and Staffordshire Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse at the hospital, said he was "aware" of the game's popularity, but warned players to stay away from the "incredibly busy" A&E department. He said: "We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital." However, Michelle Harris, the hospital's sustainability manager, said managers appreciated the positive aspects of the game She said: "We recognise that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the trust is equally keen to promote."

Summary: A hospital has warned players of the smartphone app game Pokemon Go not to enter the accident and emergency unit while they hunt for virtual monsters.


An Adventure in Space and Time, written by Mark Gatiss, will tell the story of the formation of the sci-fi drama in the early 1960s. The actor, best-known for his role as caretaker Filch in the Harry Potter films, gave a "wonderfully touching and subtle performance" said Gatiss. The one-off drama will be shown as part of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. Bradley said he was "absolutely thrilled" to be offered the role by Gatiss after starring in a 2012 episode, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. "When he asked if I would interested, I almost bit his hand off!" Bradley said earlier this year. Scottish actor Brian Cox, will appear alongside Bradley as BBC Head of Drama, Sydney Newman, who was credited with the creation of the show. Doctor Who was first broadcast on 23 November 1963, with a four-part adventure known as An Unearthly Child. Hartnell, who died in 1975, starred in the series from 1963 to 1966 before being replaced by Patrick Troughton. An Adventure in Space and Time is one of a number of programmes that will mark Doctor Who's half-centenary later this year.

Summary: A new picture of actor David Bradley as the first Doctor, William Hartnell, has been released by the BBC.


Police said a boy on the bank saw his father's boat capsize on the River Wey in Guildford at about 13:10 BST on Monday. Insp Claire Sutherland said the boy jumped into the fast-flowing river to try to save him but members of the public shouted to come back. Divers are trawling the river in Millmead. Members of the public have been urged not to go into the water if they spot the missing kayaker, but to call 999 immediately. A flood warning is in place for parts of the River Wey, following heavy rain and storms over the weekend. A police helicopter, firefighters and ambulance crews were all at the scene on Monday. The river from Millmead to Stoke Lock is a popular with kayakers. Wey Valley Kayak Club, which has about 400 members, is situated about about one mile down river from where the man capsized. It tweeted on Monday morning the Wey from Godalming Wharf to Thames Lock was not safe.

Summary: A search has resumed for a man missing after his kayak overturned on a river in Surrey.


John Coyle tried to rob a Scotmid store in Glasgow's Easterhouse, but left empty-handed after the worker shouted to her mother who also worked there. The High Court in Glasgow heard that Coyle's "very distinctive" hair could be seen on the footage. The 43-year-old, from Cranhill, will be sentenced in the new year. It emerged Coyle had served a number of lengthy jail terms for similar crimes. He had only recently been released after being jailed for a robbery in 2009 before the latest attack in October.

Summary: A serial robber who threatened an 18-year-old shop worker with a knife was caught after his streak of grey hair was recognised in CCTV footage.


That's the prospect facing parents in Knowsley on Merseyside. If that was happening in green-wellied Oxfordshire or the sharp-elbowed London boroughs there would have been a storming of the barricades. Howls of anguish would be rattling the windows of the Department for Education. There would be outrage about university places. Parents would want to know why their children had to fight for places in other authorities. There would be warnings about social mobility going into reverse and a great leap backwards. But in Knowsley the last school in the borough offering A-levels is planning to shut down its sixth form. The governing body of Halewood Academy voted last month to close the sixth form, pending a consultation that finished at the weekend. The academy says that its current sixth form is financially unviable. It says that the break-even point is 155 sixth formers - and although in 2011-12 it had 157, since then the numbers have been below this level and as such it is no longer affordable. The academy is proposing to stop taking new sixth formers from this autumn, with the assumption that pupils could travel to schools in other authorities. Many Knowsley pupils already go to schools in neighbouring authorities for their post-16 education, but it depends on such schools having places available. The local authority says that as this is an academy, they can't intervene. "As an academy, it receives its funding direct from government and not from Knowsley council. "Whilst we, as the local authority, do work with all our local academies to help them improve education standards, as an academy the school is ultimately accountable to the regional school commissioner, and not the local council." Parents have set up a protest page on Facebook, with comments about how difficult it is to get a clear answer from anyone about what is going on. "Who is accountable? Nobody knows. Who do we get in touch with?" says Vanessa Pointon, a parent at the school. "This is letting down the children of this community. There are people who want to go to university, lots of kids who want to do well," she says. What kind of message does it send to young people to have no sixth forms offering A-levels? Knowsley already has among the lowest university entry rates in the country - and now young people are being told that none of their schools is even going to offer a single A-level. It is hard to think that since A-levels were introduced in the 1950s that there has ever been an authority where none of its schools offered the qualification. Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust, said: "It is important that young people have the opportunity to access a good choice of A-levels wherever they live. "For social mobility and access to Russell Group universities, this often means academic subjects like physics, chemistry, further maths and languages." Sir Peter said that despite funding challenges, it was "crucial" that "such choices aren't curtailed". The Knowsley example raises questions about how a future school system could operate

Summary: How could there be an entire local authority in England where no pupil can take an A-level?


Indongo, unbeaten in 21 fights prior to this unification contest, forced his fellow 34-year-old on to the back foot for much of the fight. Burns rallied in the fifth and sixth rounds but the tall southpaw emerged a worthy winner. That was reflected in the judges' scoring - 120-108, 118-110, 116-112. "The better man won on the night, no excuses," said Burns. And no-one could argue. Media playback is not supported on this device This was Burns' third fight at the Hydro and 13th at world title level, while Indongo - "on a mission" from Namibia's president Hage Geingob - was fighting overseas for only the second time as a professional. On his first, in December, he knocked out IBF champion Eduard Troyanovsky in Moscow. It was clear from early in Saturday's fight that Indongo would try to use his greater height and reach to throw jabs at Burns' head, and he did this to good effect in the opening three minutes. Burns has started slowly in recent fights before finding his rhythm, and the Namibian began much the livelier, bouncing around the centre of the ring against a hesitant home fighter. Indeed, he looked to have won the first four rounds by dint of his greater work-rate and accuracy, though Burns was beginning to connect with his right. With their man having 47 bouts under his belt to Indongo's 21, the home fans may have wondered if the tactic was to use his experience to let his opponent tire himself out. Rounds five and six signalled an improvement in Burns' form, with his aggression rewarded as Indongo was forced backwards for the first time. The lead Indongo had built was thanks to the accumulation of cleaner shots rather than anything that badly hurt the Coatbridge fighter in his 17th year as a professional. And, though Burns was still strong in defence, by the time the ninth round had ended he must have realised he was trailing heavily on the scorecards. His task in the remaining three rounds had to be to stop Indongo for the first time in his nine-year career. That looked increasingly unlikely as he struggled to get inside to inflict damage. Too often he was over-stretching to land a meaningful shot, and when he did trouble Indongo his opponent snuffed out the attack with footwork and by holding on. It leaves Burns' dreams of a further unification bout against Terence Crawford in Las Vegas in tatters, though it would be a surprise if he was considering retiring. Ricky Burns: "He was so so awkward. He was a lot better than we thought he was going to be. He can hit as well. "I'm going to have all the doubters saying I'm finished - but I'll come again. "He started the rounds fast and the height and reach advantage meant he was out of my distance." Julius Indongo: "I feel very proud. My home crowd are watching. It's for the whole of Africa. This is so great. "I am very proud for opening my doors and now the world

Summary: Scotland's Ricky Burns failed to unify the super-lightweight division as his WBA title was taken by IBF and IBO champion Julius Indongo in Glasgow.


University of Brighton student Janet Muller, 21, from Eastbourne, was found by fire crews in a Volkswagen Jetta in Ifield, West Sussex, on Friday. Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw, 26. from Lakeside, Beckenham in south London, is due to appear at Guildford Magistrates' Court on Thursday. The cause of Miss Muller's death was smoke inhalation. The student, who was based at the university's Eastbourne campus, had been reported missing from Mill View Hospital in Hove on Thursday.

Summary: A man has been charged with the murder of a student whose body was discovered in the boot of a burning car.


Eric Bikubi, 28, and his partner Magalie Bamu, aged 29, have been convicted at the Old Bailey of killing Kristy Bamu after accusing him of being a sorcerer who practised witchcraft. The couple, who live in Newham, acted after accusing Kristy of controlling and adversely influencing a young boy, the jury was told. They originally came from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where witchcraft is called Kindoki, and exorcisms are carried out in some churches. In 2010, Unicef reported 20,000 children accused of witchcraft were living on the streets of DR Congo's capital Kinshasa. In the DR Congo, accusing a child of being possessed is a criminal offence, a law that has been in place for several years. But in 2008 I travelled to Kinshasa to see if it was making any difference and, at that time, the answer was not at all. Which is why I found myself in one of the city's slums late at night knocking on the door of tin-roofed shack that doubled as a church. Pastor Tsimba let me in and showed me three children who he had diagnosed as having Kindoki. The youngest was probably six, the oldest no more than 12. They had been in the church for days, deprived of food and forced to work. Their parents were paying for the privilege. The only light came from flickering candles and storm lamps. The pastor began to shout and pray. One by one he brought the children up to the front of the church. He ordered them to lie down and, still shouting and chanting, began slapping their stomachs, one, two, three times. Each harder than the last. Then he took a candle and poured burning hot wax on them, leaving them grimacing and squirming but making almost no sound. Their eyes were wide and staring. Finally, as a bizarre conclusion to the ritual, Pastor Tsimba produced a length of pipe and held it hard against their belly buttons. One after another, he made a play of sucking hard on the pipe and in triumph then spat a lump of meat he claimed to have sucked out of them into a bowl. The meat he claimed had been been fed to them by a witch, infecting them with Kindoki. The children, bewildered and quiet, were now in his words "delivered". I alerted a social worker to the plight of the children. An extraordinary and dedicated man, he said he would do all he could to help them. But his unit had not paid him for months, there was no money for petrol or even a bus fare. So he did his work on foot. He walked miles each day, visiting as many churches as he could, in this sprawling city of nine million people.

Summary: An "obsession" with witchcraft and sorcery led a couple to brutally murder a 15-year-old boy at a flat in east London.


Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Su-24 was hit by air-to-air missiles fired by Turkish F-16s while it was flying over Syrian territory. But Turkish military officials said the plane was engaged after being warned that it was violating Turkish airspace. Mr Putin described the incident as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists". The crew ejected before the jet crashed in Latakia province, but Syrian rebels said at least one was dead. It is the first time a Russian aircraft has crashed in Syria since Moscow launched air strikes against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad in late September. Follow the latest updates here The Nato military alliance, to which Turkey belongs, said it was following the situation "closely" and was in contact with the Turkish authorities. There will be an "informational meeting" of ambassadors in Brussels at 16:00 GMT. At a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan in Sochi, Russia's president confirmed that the Su-24 had been shot down over Syrian territory, 1km (0.6 miles) from the Turkish border, by an air-to-air missile from a Turkish F-16 jet. It crashed in Syrian territory 4km (2.5 miles) from the border, he added. "This goes beyond the normal struggle against terrorism. This was a stab in the back by the accomplices of terrorists," Mr Putin stated, an apparent reference to Turkey's support for Syrian rebel groups. "Our pilots and our plane did not in any way threaten Turkey. It is quite clear," he added. "They were carrying out an operation against [Islamic State militants] in the mountains of northern Latakia, where militants who originate from Russian territory are concentrated. So they were carrying the key task of preventative attacks against those who could return to Russia at any time." This is exactly the kind of incident that many have feared since Russia launched its air operations in Syria. The dangers of operating near to the Turkish border have been all too apparent. Turkish planes have already shot down at least one Syrian air force jet and possibly a helicopter as well. Russia insists that its warplane did not violate Turkish air space. So, was the Russian pilot's navigation wrong? Questions will also be asked about the readiness of the Turks to open fire. It suggests that the much discussed arrangements to avoid incidents between warplanes over Syria are inadequate. The Turkish authorities will no doubt claim that such arrangements do not cover the approaches to their own airspace where tried and tested procedures should apply. There are conflicting reports as to whether it was ground fire or Turkish jets that brought down the Russian plane. Air operations in the crowded skies over Syria just got a good deal more complicated. The only mitigating factor is that initial reports suggest that two parachutes were seen so the Russian crew at least got out of their stricken aircraft. Expect diplomatic fireworks. However, the Turkish military said two F-16s on patrol had fired on an unidentified aircraft at 09:24 (07:24 GMT) after warning it 10 times over five minutes about violating Turkish

Summary: Turkish warplanes have shot down a Russian military aircraft on the border with Syria.


No-one is absolutely certain it will happen, but most people I've spoken to assume it's coming. In reality, the Americans will just tell everyone what they want and when they want it. I'm told that European governments don't get much say in the matter or much notice of any changes - in fact they're watching the media and Twitter just in case it's sprung on them. Any ban would hit Heathrow the hardest. Three-quarters of UK flights to the US go from Heathrow. That's 761 planes a week, by far the most from any European airport. However, there is widespread concern that by tackling one threat, terrorism, the Americans could be fuelling another, even more serious problem. Fire. If lithium-ion batteries are damaged or short-circuited they make a hell of a bang. It could even be enough to bring down a plane. Captain John Cox is as knowledgeable as anyone you will meet when it comes to plane fires. The former pilot and member of the Royal Aeronautical Society has studied them for more than a decade and now travels the world advising operators, manufacturers and regulators. "Bunching lots of electronic devices together into the same secure box in the hold is the worst possible thing you could do," he told me. "Devices collected together will dramatically increase the ferocity of any fire." Aircraft holds do have fire extinguishers and limited oxygen, but that doesn't help when it comes to lithium battery fires. "The cargo hold extinguisher will put out the open flame but it will reignite. Lithium battery fires produce their own oxygen as a by-product of thermal runaway, and that keeps the fire going," says Mr Cox. Thermal runaway is the process whereby the fire spreads from one battery cell to the next. Once it gets going it's impossible to stop. And the more cells you have bunched together, the bigger the fire. Catching the fire early and stopping thermal runaway is critical. The best device for doing that remains an old fashioned, well-trained human being. Airline staff practise what to do: you put the battery into water if you can. Or wet towels. No-one can do that if it's in the hold. Steve Landells is the safety expert at the British Airline Pilots Association, "Given the risk of fire from these devices when they are damaged or they short circuit, an incident in the cabin would be spotted earlier and this would enable the crew to react quickly before any fire becomes uncontainable," he says. "If these devices are kept in the hold, the risk is that if a fire occurs the results can be catastrophic; indeed, there have been two crashes where lithium batteries have been cited in the accident reports." Mr Cox says that balancing the different risks is complex and needs a thorough assessment from a range of experts. But along with many others in the industry, he's not confident that will happen. The feeling is that the people at the US Department for Homeland Security will take their decision in isolation from the safety people

Summary: Airports, airlines and the government are bracing themselves for a ban on laptops, tablets, cameras and e-readers going as hand luggage on flights between Europe and America.


The ex-Bury player scored from close in, just as the visitors looked set to hold on for an unlikely point. Stefan Scougall hit the bar as the Blades dominated before Jacob Mellis was sent off for a foul on Matt Done. They had two second-half efforts cleared off the line and Leon Clarke had a goal disallowed before Greg Leigh was sent off for a second yellow. The win kept United in second place in League One, six points off leaders Scunthorpe, while Bury are just two points off the relegation places after their ninth consecutive league defeat.

The Most Rev Justin Welby told worshippers at Canterbury Cathedral that the attacks risked "causing us to act fearfully, to see a world in which fear triumphs". But he also said: "On Easter Day hope decisively overcame fear". Tuesday's bombings in Brussels killed 28 people and injured dozens. The archbishop said hope can seem far away and fear so close "in the shadow of this week's darkness". "Fear is reasonable, a normal human reaction," he added. Pope delivers Easter message of hope PM praises UK's 'Christian values' "Easter proclaims to us in flesh and blood that fear and death and terror are not the last words. "God has spoken life, hope and purpose. "Terror speaks of a world at war with itself, of faiths at each others' throats. "Jesus Christ reaches out not in exclusion but in embrace; this is the feast of the victory of God, and we celebrate in the midst of darkness, by our worship and praise shining an unquenchable light."

Summary: The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned people not to give in to fear after the attacks in Brussels, in his Easter Sunday sermon.


McDonald's planned to open a two-storey restaurant in Fishponds in 2014. There was fierce opposition from a campaign group over congestion and childhood obesity concerns. The planning inspector said there was little evidence the "proposal would result in any significant increase in obesity". Mike Jempson from the Say No To McDonald's campaign group said he was "appalled and astounded" by the decision, which he claims was taken "with scant regard to the wishes and concerns of local residents". He said: "Disgracefully, he [the inspector] dismisses the 495 written objections received by the council, the 1,667 signatories to the No McDonald's In Fishponds petition, and 617 signatures of families in the streets most directly affected by the scheme." He added that the group will consider its options before deciding whether to challenge in the High Court. A McDonald's spokesperson said: "We are pleased that our application has been allowed but will now be taking time to review the inspector's decision. "We strongly believe that we will make a positive contribution to the local community, not least through the creation of 65 new jobs for local people."

Summary: The government has overturned a decision by Bristol City Council to refuse planning permission for a McDonald's drive-through.


They were conceived in 1944 at a conference in Bretton Woods, in the US state of New Hampshire. By fostering economic cooperation and helping countries with balance of payments problems the founders hoped to avoid a repeat of the 1930s Great Depression. The IMF aims to preserve economic stability and to tackle - or ideally prevent - financial crises. Over time, its focus has switched to the developing world. The World Bank's predecessor - the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development - was set up to drive post-war recovery. Now, it is the world's leading development organisation, working for growth and poverty reduction. Owned by the governments of its 187 member states, the Bank channels loans and grants and advises low and middle-income countries. The IMF is funded by a charge - known as a "quota" - paid by member nations. The quota is based on a country's wealth and it determines voting power within the organisation; those making higher contributions have greater voting rights. The IMF acts as a lender of last resort, disbursing its foreign exchange reserves for short periods to any member in difficulties. Since they were conceived, the IMF has been run by a European and the World Bank by a US national. The IMF and the Bank have served as a rallying point for disparate causes - from environmentalists to anarchists - and meetings have occasionally been accompanied by violent street protests. Protesters and critics cite the exploitation of the poor and the environment and argue that freer trade threatens the livelihoods of millions of people. The IMF has admitted that forcing developing countries to open their markets to foreign investors can increase the risk of financial crises. Its former managing director Horst Koehler said in 2002 that the benefits of globalisation had not been equally shared. But he added that "the objective should not be less globalisation but more and better globalisation." Conceived: Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA Date: 1944 Headquarters: Washington DC IMF-World Bank membership: 187 countries World Bank staff: 10,000 IMF staff: 2,500 IMF managing director: Christine Lagarde Christine Lagarde is the first woman to head the IMF in the 65 years of the organisation's history. She trained as a lawyer and for more than two decades worked for a Chicago-based international law firm, where she specialised in major labour and anti-trust cases. She served as French trade minister from 2005 to 2007, when she was made finance minister, becoming the first woman to hold such a post in any of the G8 major industrial countries. Ms Lagarde took over the helm of the IMF in July 2011 at a time when the organisation was facing some extremely tough challenges, with the eurozone in a state of deep crisis and fears looming that countries such as Greece could default on their loans. Never afraid of speaking her mind, she has blamed the 2008 worldwide financial crisis partly on the male-dominated, testosterone-fuelled culture at global banks. She is viewed with high regard in the international arena and in 2009 was named best finance minister in

Summary: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and what is now known as the World Bank, were set up to manage the post-World War II global economy.


Wenger, whose club contract runs to the summer, has been linked with the job. Southgate succeeded Sam Allardyce in September and oversaw England's 2-0 win against Malta as well the disappointing 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday. Wenger said Southgate "has accumulated experiences and is a good observer of what's going on in the national team." Of his own links to the role, the 66-year-old Frenchman added: "I focus on my job, that's what it is about." Former England international Southgate, 46, has a World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley on 11 November and a friendly against Spain four days later to persuade the Football Association to give him the job on a permanent basis. Wenger continued: "We're in a job where you get questioned, especially if you have less experience, and the only answer he can give is by showing the decisions he makes are right. "There's always a demand for big names but the most important thing is the person's competency. He has a good opportunity and I'm happy he has a chance to show he has the quality." Speaking before his side's game against Swansea on Saturday, Wenger added that 21-year-old defender Hector Bellerin would be offered a new contract by the club. The Arsenal right-back has been linked with a move, with both Barcelona and Manchester City said to be interested, but Wenger said he was "surprised" by the speculation surrounding the Spain international, who progressed through Barcelona's La Masia academy before joining Arsenal in 2011. "He has nearly three years to go and we always try get the players to the level where we think they deserve to be. So we try to extend, certainly, his contract," said Wenger. "For me, his long-term future is here." Wenger added that midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 25, will miss "one or two" more games, having injured a hamstring during Arsenal's opening-day Premier League defeat by Liverpool on 14 August.

Seren Bernard, 14, took her own life while living with foster carers in Pembrokeshire in 2012. A serious case review was published in 2014, but Sarah Pollock was only given a summary of its contents. A fresh call was made to Pembrokeshire council on Thursday, but it said it could not disclose the full report based on "clear legal advice". Cabinet member for wellbeing, Tessa Hodgson, said: "On a personal level I can sympathise with the request. I think if any of us were named in an official document they would want to read the full report". But she said the council had received "clear legal advice" and "that it is not within the gift of this council to disclose the full report". The summary of the report said Seren, referred to as child M, had made a suicide attempt in 2011, and research indicated a further attempt "was a possibility". "However, in the days prior to her death, her mood is recorded to have lifted and her behaviour gave no indication that she was contemplating suicide," it read. It concluded: "It must remain uncertain whether there were any steps, if taken, would have prevented child M's death." Ms Pollock said the report was a "document for learning" but questioned how lessons could be learned when "it was in lock down". She said not knowing the contents of the report had left her feeling "traumatised and dysfunctional" as "so many questions have been left unanswered". Speaking after the full council, she said she was "absolutely appalled" by the decision. She said she would continue to campaign as the report was a "matter of public interest" and it was "her right to sight".

Summary: A "distraught" mother has been denied access to a full report into the death of her teenage daughter while in care.


Choupo-Moting, 28, is their fourth signing of the summer after Darren Fletcher, Kurt Zouma and Josh Tymon. "Eric has been on our radar for several years and we actually tried to bring him to the club four years ago," chief executive Tony Scholes said. Stoke open their Premier League season with a trip to Everton on Saturday. Choupo-Moting, who has also played for Hamburg and Mainz, has made 200 Bundesliga appearances and played in the Champions League with Schalke. A former Germany youth international, he switched international allegiance to Cameroon in 2010. He represented the Indomitable Lions at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and has won 48 caps, scoring 13 goals. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: Stoke City have signed Cameroon winger Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on a three-year deal after his contract ran out at German club Schalke.


Media playback is not supported on this device First or minor offences will result in either a warning, fine or order for a match to be played behind closed doors. Serious or repeat offences can now be punished by a points deduction, expulsion or relegation. Jeffrey Webb, head of Fifa's anti-racism task force, said the decision was "a defining moment". He added: "Our football family is fully aware that what is reported in the media is actually less than 1% of the incidents that happen around the world. "We've got to take action so that when we look to the next 20 or 50 years this will be the defining time that we took action against racism and discrimination." Fifa, world football's governing body, passed the anti-racism resolution with a 99% majority at its congress in Mauritius. Richard Conway, reporting for BBC Sport at the congress, said a concern was raised over those who voted against the tougher racism measures. "Former South African apartheid prisoner Tokyo Sexwale, now a Fifa member, urged congress to check cameras to see who voted against racism rules," he said. "Sexwale says (the) 1% vote against demonstrates how football still has to fight against racism." Webb said of the vote against the measures: "I would like to think it was a mistake but I'm glad it wasn't the other way. I'm glad only 1% went that way." Nonetheless, Fifa president Blatter accepted more must be done to eradicate racism. He said: "We need zero tolerance and strict punishments everywhere. We must lead. We must set a tough, uncompromising example. "We can make a difference. We can send a strong signal to the racists that their time is up." Fifa commissioned a task force to address the issue of racism after a friendly game between AC Milan and Pro Patria was abandoned due to racist chanting. Their verdict includes putting an official inside the stadium to identify potential acts of racism and ease the pressure on the match referee. The new rulings standardise punishment across the members, meaning federations will lose the power to impose their own judgements. Further to the regulations that relate to clubs or international teams, the new measures will see any individual who commits a racist offence banned from stadiums for a minimum of five matches. The five-match suspension is one that has been introduced by the Football Association, whose chairman David Bernstein sat on the task force in Mauritius. Also on the task force was Kevin-Prince Boateng, the AC Milan player who led the walk-off in the game against Pro Patria in January. Former England international striker Luther Blissett, an ambassador for anti-racism charity Show Racism The Red Card, admitted to reservations about the new measures. "You've got to applaud them for doing something about it, my thing is when they talk about the 'level' of racism," he told Radio 5 live. "To me, racism is racism. "Fifa have to let it be known where they are going to start this from. Any form of racism is serious enough for the bans to

Summary: Teams could be relegated or expelled from competitions for serious incidents of racism after tough new powers were voted in by Fifa.


Media playback is not supported on this device The Lionesses showed grit in a game of few chances in Tilburg, notably when Lucy Bronze blocked from Ellen Jansen. Mark Sampson's side improved after the break, and Toni Duggan produced a low save from Loes Gurts. And after a spell of Dutch pressure, Jordan Nobbs' long ball sent Taylor racing clear to lob the winner. Relive England's gritty win in Tilburg See the full Euro 2017 draw Sampson joined his squad late for the fixture having returned from the birth of his first child. The England boss had explained he wanted this fixture to test his side - who do not play again until a friendly with Italy in April - as they prepare for the European Championship in July. His decision to introduce Taylor to offer more support to the often-isolated Duggan proved key, and he should be pleased with how his defenders restricted a side seeded ninth for next summer's tournament. England have now conceded just one goal in eight matches, defensive form which has set up their best run since an 11-game unbeaten sequence between March 2012 and June 2013. England, seeded third, will be heavy favourites to progress from a Euro 2017 group also featuring Scotland, Spain and Portugal. The fact Sampson made just two changes from October's friendly win over Spain suggests he is getting closer to knowing his best side but still there are some questions to be answered. In deploying Karen Carney behind lone striker Duggan, England lacked cutting edge and it was only when Taylor came on as a second striker that they created their best two openings. Chelsea striker Eniola Aluko's omission from the squad also prompts questions. The Women's Super League's top-scoring English player has not added to her 95 England caps since April. England's players must also get used to a new schedule next year, in preparation for the domestic season switching to September-May. But the national side's excellent form leaves them well placed to perhaps end Germany's run of six straight European titles. Former England forward Sue Smith on the BBC Red Button: "I think England can be happy, given they have a lot of key players missing. I think they are in a good position going into the Euros. "The Dutch made it hard for them, but England managed to solve the problems the Dutch created. They have ground out a win, which is sometimes what you need to do, especially in tournament football." Match ends, Netherlands Women 0, England 1. Second Half ends, Netherlands Women 0, England 1. Attempt saved.

Summary: England extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches as substitute Jodie Taylor gave them a hard-fought friendly win over Euro 2017 hosts the Netherlands.


Robert Lewandowski's penalty gave the German champions the lead before Thomas Muller swept home on his 27th birthday. Joshua Kimmich stabbed in and quickly added a header as Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti became the first man to manage seven clubs in the competition. Juan Bernat fired in from 10 yards for 5-0. Atletico Madrid won 1-0 at PSV in Group D's other game. Kimmich, 21, has now scored his first goal for Germany, first Bayern Munich league goal and first Champions League goal in a 10-day period. After beating the Russian side, Ancelotti, who has won the tournament three times as a manager, said: "Can we win the Champions League? For sure our team will be competitive this season and for the moment everything is good, but the first objective is to win the group, and then we will see the draw." English referee Martin Atkinson ruled out "a good goal", according to PSV boss Phillip Cocu, after Luuk de Jong's fifth-minute effort was disallowed in Eindhoven. Saul Niguez's scissor kick from 18 yards proved decisive for Atletico, who had goalkeeper Jan Oblak to thank for saving Andres Guardado's penalty on the stroke of half-time. In Group B, Anderson Talisca produced a stunning 93rd-minute free-kick to earn Besiktas a 1-1 draw against his parent club Benfica. "It's a draw that feels like a victory," said Besiktas midfielder Ricardo Quaresma. Talisca's strike in Lisbon leaves both sides adrift of Napoli, who came from behind as summer signing Arkadiusz Milik struck twice in nine minutes to overhaul Dynamo Kiev's lead before half-time in Ukraine. The Italian side netted with their only two shots on target against Kiev goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovski, who became the second-oldest player in Champions League history at 41 years and 255 days. Ex-Lazio player Marco Ballota remains the oldest at 43 years and 252 days. Bulgarian side Ludogorets - in the Champions League group stage for the second time - faced 14 shots at Basel but left Switzerland with a 1-1 draw, matching the other result in the group between Paris St-Germain and Arsenal in Paris. Barcelona produced the stand-out result of the night as Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick in a 7-0 win over Celtic, while the other fixture in Group C between Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach has been rescheduled for Wednesday due to adverse weather.
