Guy Hedger was shot by intruders who entered a house in St Ives, near Ringwood, Dorset, just after 03:00 BST on Sunday. He later died in hospital. The men, who wore balaclavas, stole jewellery including designer watches before fleeing the property. No arrests have been made and police have not recovered the shotgun used to kill the 61-year-old. A helicopter was used to search the area following the shooting, which police believe was a planned burglary that turned violent. Detectives said a second person who was in the Â£1m Castlewood property at the time of the break-in was "deeply affected by the incident" and is currently being supported by specially trained officers. He lived in the property with his husband of 12 years, Simon-Pierre Hedger-Cooper, according to the Press Association. Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire said: "At this stage we are still trying to establish exactly what happened at the address and how and why the victim was shot dead. "I am appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the area, or was in the area at that time, to contact Dorset Police as soon as possible." A spokesman for his former employer, insurance firm Liverpool Victoria (LV), said: "We were all shocked to hear that our friend and colleague Guy Hedger... died over the weekend in such tragic circumstances. "Our heartfelt condolences and sympathy are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly sad time." Through his work as marketing and brand director at LV, Mr Hedger became a director at Avonbourne International and Business and Enterprise Trust, which runs colleges and a primary school in the Bournemouth area. The trust's CEO Debbie Godfrey-Phuare said: "Guy was a very kind and generous man who volunteered and gave his time freely to Avonbourne. "[He] had a deep passion for education and was dedicated to expanding the experience and knowledge of children in Bournemouth." Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning

Summary: Police are searching for at least two people over the shooting of a marketing executive who was shot in his own home.


The offence occurred in the first-round, second-leg match against Rwanda, which Uganda won 2-1 to secure a 3-2 aggregate victory. However, Uganda's Aheebwa James had different dates of birth on his passport and his inter-clubs licence. Rwanda have been reinstated and will take on Egypt in the second round. The Rwandan Football Federation had challenged the eligibility of Tumwesigye Frank, Aheebwa James, Lwalirwa Halid and Kizza Martin. Only James was found to have different birth dates: 19/5/1998 on the passport, and 27/3/1997 on his Confederation of African Football Inter-clubs licence. Although both dates place James within the age limit for the competition, the rules state that both dates must match.

Summary: Uganda have been disqualified from qualifying for the 2017 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations for fielding an ineligible player.


Simpson, who was acquitted for a double murder in 1995, is serving time for armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and 10 other charges. The sentence, which carries a maximum of 33 years, stems from a 2007 confrontation at a Las Vegas hotel. Simpson, 70, had said he was only trying to reclaim his possessions. The former Hall of Fame running back was found guilty in 2008 - exactly 13 years to the day after he was famously acquitted for the killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. He and a group of five others stormed into a hotel room to confront two sports-memorabilia collectors to seize items that he claimed belonged to him from his own career. The hearing for Prisoner 1027820 is happening at the Lovelock Correctional Facility, a medium security prison in the Nevada desert. "Mr Simpson, you are getting the same hearing that everyone else gets," a parole panellist, Connie Bisbee, told him as Thursday's hearing began. "Sure," he replied in a husky voice with a shrug and a smile. "Thank you, ma'am." Simpson told parole officials that the objects he took from the Las Vegas hotel room were later ruled by officials to legally belong to him. One panellist asked: "So you believe that the property was yours?" "It's been ruled legally by the state of California," Simpson responded in a raised voice, leaning forward. He said the belongings, which he described as images of his family and friends, were later handed over to him by officials. "It's kind of mind-boggling that they turned over to me property that I'm in jail for, for trying to retrieve." Bruce Fromong, who one of Simpson's victims in the robbery, testified in favour of his release. "I've known OJ for a long time," said Mr Fromong. "I don't feel that he's a threat to anyone. "He's a good man. It's time to give him a second chance. It's time for him to go home to his family, his friends." Simpson appeared to dab a tear during Mr Fromong's testimony. If four out of seven members of the parole board vote in favour of his release, Simpson could be free by October. Experts believe he is likely to be approved for release, after a record of good behaviour at the Lovelock prison. Another panellist asked him if he had completed a specific self-improvement course since his last parole hearing. He said he had not, but that he had taken another course called "alternative to violence". "I think it's the most important course anybody in this prison can take because it teaches you how to deal with conflict through conversation," he said. "I've spent a conflict-free life," he continued, when asked if he had completed an anti-violence course. Simpson also told the commissioners he had helped establish a Baptist prayer event, adding: "I could have been a better Christian." The prisoner also rejected the suggestion that he had an alcohol problem. "I've done my time," he said. "I've done it as well and as respectfully as

Summary: Former US football star and actor OJ Simpson has told a parole board "I've done my time," as he asked for release after nine years in a Nevada prison.


Rangers avoided relegation by finishing 10th but the club was later charged for failing to implement Haveron's touchline ban against Dungannnon. It could have resulted in Carrick losing three points and being relegated but the Irish FA decided not to apply any sanction following a hearing. Haveron replaced Michael Hughes as Rangers boss in September 2013. "The Board of Carrick Rangers FC can announce that we have accepted the resignation of manager Gary Haveron and assistant manager Steven Mills," said the club on Monday. "Following discussions between the Board and the management team, we were unable to establish a mutual agreement on the best way forward for the club." He guided Carrick to Championship success in his first full season and with it a return to top-flight football. Last month's dramatic 2-1 victory over Ballinamallard United on the final day of the season moved Carrick from the bottom to 10th and safety. Their Premiership status was threatened by the touchline charge but the IFA Disciplinary opted to "exercise its discretion" in not imposing a sanction. Warrenpoint Town, who finished bottom but just a point behind Carrick, have appealed the IFA ruling.

Summary: Gary Haveron has resigned as manager of Premiership side Carrick Rangers after a controversial end to the season.


The historic vote on the first day of this year's gathering in Edinburgh draws a line under a row which has split the Kirk for nine years. Commissioners voted by 339 votes to 215 in favour of the move. The decision means that same sex civil marriage will be permitted for ministers. However, they will not themselves be allowed to conduct gay weddings within the church. Last year, the assembly agreed that ministers could enter into civil partnerships. The Very Rev John Chalmers, principal clerk to the General Assembly, said: "We had a debate which made very clear that we were not interfering with our theological definition of marriage and were not going to the place where ministers or deacons could themselves be conducting same-sex marriages. "It is an entirely different discussion. "Today's decision means it will be possible for Kirk sessions and congregations to depart from the traditional understanding of marriage to call not only potentially a minister in a civil partnership but one who is in a same-sex marriage. "In some ways we crossed the Rubicon last year when it was agreed that Kirk sessions could call someone in a civil partnership and for many people what today was about was simply tidying up and making the law of the church consistent with Scots law." He added: "Today I think people came to this decision with their minds on law and practice and not on theology and future practice." Colin Macfarlane, director of charity Stonewall Scotland, said: "Today's result is great news for the Kirk and a progressive move forward. "Empowering ministers to live their lives with honesty and integrity sends a powerful signal to faith communities and society as a whole." Rev David Robertson, Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland, said it was "saddened" by the decision. The decision means the Kirk adopts a position which maintains a traditional view of marriage between a man and woman, but allows individual congregations to "opt out" if they wish to appoint a minister or a deacon in a same-sex marriage or a civil partnership. Any wider consideration of the theological understanding of same-sex marriage will not take place until the Theological Forum presents its report to the Kirk next year. These latest changes will differentiate the church from the Church of England, which bans clergy from being married to partners of the same sex and does not allow gay church weddings. Other topics to be discussed at the six-day assembly include the European Union referendum, corporal punishment of children, climate change and the refugee crisis. Members will also discuss exploring ways of promoting the Church through the internet and social media, including a proposal to develop online congregations. The assembly will also consider changing the date of the gathering to June to allow more young people to attend without disrupting their exams. On Wednesday the Archbishop of Canterbury will become the first head of the Church of England to take part in a debate at the general assembly. The Most Reverend Justin Welby will speak to a landmark report, which

Summary: The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has voted to allow ministers to continue to serve if they are in a gay marriage.


Conservative MP Justin Tomlinson has written to the Metropolitan Police after the publication of a photo online by the Guido Fawkes website. Mr Tomlinson told the BBC that road safety was an important issue and the matter should be investigated. Mr Khan, the Labour MP for Tooting, is a former transport minister. The MP, who is thought likely to seek the Labour nomination for London mayor in 2016, was given a national award by road safety charity Brake this year. Mr Khan told the BBC: "Allegations have been made that I glanced at my phone whilst in my car. "I understand that a Conservative MP has now reported this matter to the Metropolitan police. Of course I will be fully cooperating with any investigation." Mr Tomlinson has written to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe about the alleged incident, reported to have taken place on Monday. "I would be very grateful if you could investigate this further - road safety is a serious issue and those who make the laws should certainly not be above them," he wrote. The Met confirmed it had received Mr Tomlinson's complaint. A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that today we have received a letter. We are currently assessing its content."

Summary: Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan has said he will co-operate with any investigation over claims he used his mobile phone while driving.


Skomer Island and Marloes Sands are included in travel guide Lonely Planet's Best in Europe 2015 list. Kent was ranked top, followed by County Kerry in Ireland, with destinations in Germany and Hungary also making the top five. The guide said Skomer's marine nature reserve and 500,000-strong bird population were among its draws. It also recommended visiting Marloes Sands - "a mile-long sweep of beach that does a vanishing act at high tide". Europe's 10 Best Places for Family Holidays, by Lonely Planet

Summary: Two Pembrokeshire beauty spots have been named among the 10 best places to go in Europe for a family holiday.


Kaikai, 20, is back with Town for a second spell from Premier League Crystal Palace and has scored six goals in his last five appearances to lift the club two points clear of trouble. "He's very important for us," Ogogo, 26, told BBC Radio Shropshire. "He's got the quality and can score goals out of nothing." Kaikai, who scored on his only appearances to date for Palace in their League Cup tie against Newcastle in September 2014, first moved to Greenhous Meadow last September and scored five times in 17 games before returning to Selhurst Park at the start of January. Since coming back to Shropshire the goals have flowed, leading Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon to question why he has not been part of the England Under-21 squad. Ogogo, who is wearing the armband in the absence of suspended Nat Knight-Percival, thinks Kaikai has improved since he was last at the club. "He's always played well but he's now adding goals to his game," said Ogogo. Kaikai's 11th strike of the season put Town ahead league leaders against Wigan last Saturday before the title challengers hit back in style to win 5-1. But Ogogo is staying confident over their survival chances despite having to play four sides currently in the top six in their next five games. "One defeat in 10 games isn't bad - we've been on a good run so we need to dust ourselves down and go again," said Ogogo. "We've got a tough run-in bit we can't look at other teams."

Summary: Stand-in captain Abu Ogogo says in-form striker Sullay Kaikai will play a key role in Shrewsbury Town's bid to avoid relegation from League One.


In one attack, gunmen disguised as soldiers fired on a crowd in a church compound, local MP Peter Biye said. He said he had warned the army that the area was at risk after troops stationed nearby were withdrawn three months ago. The latest attacks come as the army denied that several generals had been found guilty of aiding the militants. Nigerian media reported on Tuesday that 10 generals and five other senior military officers had been tried before a court martial for supplying arms and information to the Islamist militant group. However, a military spokesman called the reports "falsehoods". This contradicted Interior Minister Abba Moro who in a BBC interview on Tuesday said it was "good news" that the army had identified soldiers who were undermining the fight against the insurgents, and that it sent a strong message to other serving officers. Boko Haram has waged an increasingly bloody insurgency since 2009 in an attempt to create an Islamic state in Nigeria. The BBC's Will Ross in Nigeria says the attacks on six villages over the last few days have been near the Mandara Mountains - a known Boko Haram hideout by the border with Cameroon. Residents who managed to flee Attagara said that their village church first came under attack on Sunday when reportedly 20 people died. Villagers retaliated and some militants were allegedly killed. This seemed to prompt a revenge attack on Tuesday when militants dressed as soldiers pretended they had come to protect the village, Mr Biye said. "They came in mass in military uniform with about 200 motorcyclesâ€¦ they said they came to rescue them [and] they should not run away," he told the BBC's Newsday programme. Villagers were urged to come to the church, and people gathered believing it was the military, the MP said. "They surrounded them - they started shooting them," Mr Biye said, adding that the gunmen then burnt many buildings. Those who had fled into nearby hills reported seeing many dead bodies, he said. When troops were based in nearby Chinene village, the area was calm but since their withdrawal three months ago the area had become the insurgents' "base", Mr Biye said. Nigeria's government has been facing growing pressure both at home and abroad to do more to tackle the group and bring about the release of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the group in April. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in May 2013 in the three northern states where Boko Haram is most active - Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. Boko Haram retaliated by stepping up its bombing campaign in cities and launching mass attacks on small towns and villages. Correspondents says since the kidnapping of the girls, the attacks have become an almost daily occurrence. Who are Boko Haram?

Summary: Suspected Boko Haram militants have killed dozens of villagers in fresh attacks in Borno state in north-eastern Nigeria, the BBC has learnt.


The 0.2% drop in new home construction compared with a 6.1% increase in the previous quarter. Overall, total construction output fell by 2.1% in the quarter, the Office for National Statistics said, worse than an initial estimate of a 1.8% contraction. The UK housing market has been slowing over the past few months. On Thursday, the latest survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said that the number of new buyers approaching its estate agency members in England and Wales had fallen for the seventh month in a row. However, a recent survey of the UK construction sector suggested that activity had picked up again in January. And Howard Archer, an economist at IHS Global Insight, noted that while housebuilding had dipped in the final quarter of 2014, it was still up 18.7% from a year earlier. "The outlook seems largely decent for the construction sector in 2015, although it will likely expand at a slower rate than in 2014," Mr Archer said. "Meanwhile, prospects still look relatively bright overall for housebuilding, even if the growth rate is unlikely to regain the heady levels seen earlier in 2014."

Summary: The number of houses being built in the UK fell during the final three months of 2014, the first such decline for nearly two years.


Its resolution laid the blame at the door of bodyguards working for Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, saying they had beaten up Kurdish protesters. The Turkish embassy previously said the demonstrators had aggressively provoked Turkish-Americans gathering to greet the president, who was visiting the US. Eleven people were injured. Videos of the incident appear to show Turkish security officials punching and kicking unarmed Kurdish demonstrators. "Any Turkish security officials who directed, oversaw, or participated in efforts by Turkish security forces to illegally suppress peaceful protests... should be charged and prosecuted under United States law," the resolution states. Turkey has demanded a full investigation. House speaker Paul Ryan urged the Turkish government in Ankara to "finally accept responsibility for this egregious incident and apologise to those who were harmed".

Summary: The Congress has called for criminal charges against those involved in a brawl outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington DC last month.


The UNHCR says it has accounted for 509,559 refugees so far, primarily in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey, and that many more are yet to come forward. More than 2m people are also thought to be internally displaced within Syria. Meanwhile, a UK-based activist group says rebels led by an Islamist faction have seized an army base near Aleppo. A video posted online on Monday showed rebels overrunning the Sheikh Suleiman base near the key northern city of Aleppo and seizing military vehicles. The base is now fully under the control of rebels led by the Islamist al-Nusra Front, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Correspondents say the sprawling base was the only significant government facility remaining in a broad stretch of countryside west of Aleppo. Western nations have expressed concern at the role of Islamist groups like the al-Nusra Front in the insurgency in Syria. On Monday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton designated the al-Nusra Front a foreign terrorist organisation, freezing any assets its members may have in US jurisdictions. Jeremy Bowen's 10 key moments Postcards from the Arab Uprising Arab Uprisings: Special report The designation is largely symbolic because the group is not thought to have holdings or support in the United States, but officials hope the penalties will encourage others to take similar action and discourage Syrians from joining. Activists also reported continued government bombardment and fighting in outlying areas of the capital Damascus, which has seen fierce clashes in recent weeks. The UNHCR says Lebanon is playing host to most refugees, with 154,387 Syrian refugees either registered or in the process of being registered there. Jordan has received 142,664, while there are in 136,319 in Turkey, 64,449 in Iraq and 11,740 in North Africa, the agency says. "Syrian refugees arriving during recent bad weather reached Jordan with soaked clothing and mud-covered shoes due to heavy rainfall," UNHCR chief spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said. "Protection teams described the night-time arrivals as fearful, freezing and without proper winter clothing," she added. Since the beginning of November, 3,200 new Syrian refugees have been registered every day in the region, although some of these are thought to be people who had been in the host countries for some time but had not sought help. Most Syrian refugees were currently living outside camps "often in rental housing, with host families, or in various types of collective centres and renovated accommodation," the agency said. "The numbers of those struggling to live on the local economy and who eventually come forward to register are expected to increase," it added.

Summary: More than half a million people have now fled the conflict in Syria to neighbouring countries, according to the UN's refugee agency.


She won a silver with an impressive throw of 4.61m (15.12ft) in the F-53 final event on Monday in Rio. Her medal has taken India's tally to three after high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Varun Bhati won gold and bronze respectively on Saturday. Many in India have taken to Twitter to praise her historic achievement. Malik's win also means that India's Paralympians have already outperformed India's Olympic contingent of more than 100 athletes. India won two medals - silver and bronze - at the Rio Olympics. Malik said she felt "incredible to fulfil a lifelong ambition". "This is our third medal now in Rio and I sincerely hope people back home wake up and acknowledge the potential of para sports in India," she added. And many Indians, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, woke up to the news and praised Malik's performance. Malik was paralysed below her waist in 1999 after undergoing surgery to remove a spinal tumour. She decided to participate in para sports six years later and took to swimming and javelin throw, winning medals at national and international events. But she also participated in the shot put, winning silver at the World Championships in 2011. On Monday, she thanked her coaches and everybody who supported her. "It is an extremely satisfying feeling and a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years," she said.

Summary: Shot-putter Deepa Malik has created sporting history after becoming the first Indian woman to win a Paralympics medal.


In 2015, the Department for Transport said electrification of the whole link - which goes through Manchester, Leeds and York - would be complete by 2022. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has since said electrification will instead be used "where it makes a difference". Shadow rail minister Rachael Maskell has called it "a slap in the face". In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Mr Grayling said: "We are not abandoning electrification, what we are doing is using electrification where it makes a difference. "What we've got on the railways is technology we didn't have five or six years ago." He said the use of bi-mode trains, which can travel on both electrified and non-electrified sections of a track, meant there were "places on the network you don't actually need to start digging everything up and putting in place overhead cables". The project to electrify the route between Manchester and Leeds was announced in 2011 as part of the then chancellor George Osborne's ambition to create a northern economic "powerhouse". The government said it would deliver more passenger capacity and shorten journey times. However, the electrification was controversially paused in 2015 when a review into its costs and plans was carried out. Speaking about this latest development, Ms Maskell said: "This is a slap in the face for the commuters and businesses in the North, including those in my constituency of York Central. "Just six weeks ago the Tories promised the electrification of the TransPennine route as an integral part of the government's 'Northern Powerhouse'." In an open letter to Mr Grayling, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said the north had "put up with second-class transport for too long". He said the possible changes "would represent a major broken promise... and the derailment of the Northern Powerhouse". Mr Grayling's announcement comes days after the government scrapped the planned electrification of three railway lines. They included the routes between Cardiff and Swansea; between Windermere and Oxenholme in the Lake District; and between Kettering, Nottingham and Sheffield. A Department for Transport spokesman said: "We are investing around Â£40 billion in our network as part of the biggest rail modernisation programme for over a century to provide faster journeys and more comfortable trains. "This includes delivering improved journeys for passengers right across the North."

Summary: The railway route between Liverpool and Newcastle may not be fully electrified despite a promise by the previous government.


The 30-year-old has played 27 Tests for the Black Caps and had a spell with Lancashire this summer. He took 32 Championship wickets for the Red Rose, including 6-66 on his debut against Nottinghamshire. He will be replaced by Pakistan's Mohammad Amir at newly-promoted Essex midway through next summer. Wagner also equalled a world record by taking five wickets in a six-ball first-class over, for Otago against Wellington in 2011.

Summary: Essex have signed New Zealand fast bowler Neil Wagner for the first half of the 2017 County Championship season and One-Day Cup.


Lochte, Feigen and two other members of the US swimming team said they had been robbed at gunpoint in a taxi in Rio. But police say their account of when they arrived at the Olympic village does not square with CCTV recordings. Local media report that Lochte left Brazil before the order was issued. His Twitter account shows footage of him arriving back in the United States on Monday, Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay. Feigen, who is still believed to be in Brazil, won gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay. Accounts of what happened to the swimmers have been confusing from the beginning. Lochte first told US TV network NBC about it but International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said reports of the robbery were "absolutely not true". The US Olympic Committee (USOC) later confirmed the swimmers' accounts. Lochte himself told police that he and team mates James Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger had all attended a party in the French Olympic team's hospitality house on Saturday evening. He said that during their return drive to the Olympic village, their cab was stopped by men posing as police officers. One of the men held a gun to his head, Lochte said, and robbed him of his money and personal belongings. But police investigating the case say they have found no evidence of the robbery. They also point to "inconsistencies" in the swimmers' accounts. Lochte and Feigen told police they and their fellow swimmers had returned to the Olympic village at 04:00 local time (08:00 GMT). But CCTV recordings appear to show the swimmers returning to the Olympic village at 07:00 local time. They can be seen putting their belongings through a metal detector at the entrance to the village in what appears to be a calm manner. Police say they have not been able to track down the driver who the swimmers said drove them back to the village. They also said that Feigen and Lochte gave different accounts of how many men robbed them. Investigators have requested a search warrant for the rooms the swimmers stayed in with a view to examining Feigen's mobile phone. They said they wanted to trace the swimmers' whereabouts on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The US Olympic Committee (USOC) confirmed that Brazilian police had sought the passports and further testimony from Lochte and Feigen. In a statement the committee said: "The swim team moved out of the village after their competition ended, so we were not able to make the athletes available." The statement said that USOC "do not make athlete travel plans public and therefore cannot confirm the athletes' current location" but that they would co-operate with the Brazilian authorities.

Summary: A judge in Brazil has issued an order preventing US swimmers Ryan Lochte and James Feigen from leaving the country after police queried their evidence in a robbery case.


The 5,000-signature document was taken to the Scottish Parliament. Dumfries and Galloway Council wants to house the hoard in a new gallery being built in the region. However, National Museums Scotland is also bidding to host the artefacts. A meeting takes place on Thursday to discuss their fate. The objects were discovered by a metal detectorist in Dumfries and Galloway in 2014. The Galloway Viking Hoard (GVH) group is backing the council's bid to ensure they end up in Kirkcudbright. Cathy Agnew, who chairs the campaign, said: "The message from Galloway, Scotland and around the world is very clear - the hoard was buried in Galloway for safekeeping 1,000 years ago and that is where its home should be. "We have huge support from the general public, academics, politicians of all parties and many others. "It would be a travesty if their voices were ignored." National Museums Scotland has said it believed it had put forward a "mutually-beneficial and positive proposal". It would allow part of the hoard to go on display permanently in Kirkcudbright and the entire collection to be hosted, on occasions, by the gallery. The Scottish Archaeological Finds Allocation Panel meets this week to discuss the hoard's future. It will then make a recommendation to the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer on where the treasure should end up.

Summary: A petition has been delivered seeking to ensure a hoard of Viking treasure discovered in Galloway goes on display in Kirkcudbright.


Media playback is not supported on this device Ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola has won the competition twice as a coach, and never failed to reach the semi-finals in seven attempts. "To be here is not easy," he said. "I want to convince the players to enjoy that moment. It is beautiful." While Guardiola's previous two employers have been European champions 10 times between them, City reached their first semi-final last season and have progressed to the knockout round only four times. "People can think Manchester City have to be here but a lot of big clubs are not here," said the 46-year-old. "We are lucky guys. "Our recent history is quite good but over the long history, Manchester City was not here for a long time. "All of Europe will watch us, to analyse us, to kill us if we don't win or say how good we are if we do." City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne goes into the game having scored five goals in 32 appearances for the club this season. Last term - his debut campaign having joined from Wolfsburg for a club-record £55m in August 2015 - he scored 18 goals in all competitions. The 25-year-old Belgian says he is not interested in the figures because he is "playing better" this season. "It doesn't bother me at all that I haven't scored as often," he said. "Not everyone sees I am playing lower on the pitch. "I know how well I am doing for the team and if we can win a title, I will be very happy."

Summary: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants his players to embrace the pressure of their Champions League last-16 tie against Monaco - even though he knows the club's critics will "kill them" if they do not progress.


Josie James, from Clwt y Bont near Caernarfon, had been discharged from a mental health unit despite having "murderous thoughts towards herself". An inquest heard her parents had not been given clear advice or an emergency phone number. A narrative conclusion was recorded. Miss James died in August 2015. The inquest heard on the day of her death she had told a friend she was going to jump off the bridge. The alarm was raised immediately but she had already gone over the side. Pathologist Dr Mark Lord said she died from a ruptured major artery due to a fall from a height and said she would have died on impact. Miss James' mother, Joy James said: "As a family we have no interest in pointing the finger at any individual. We just want lessons to be learned." In a statement, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said: "We acknowledge that there was no effective communication with her family. "We are working hard to improve the way we work with families, which includes ensuring they are supplied with treatment plans and additional information and advice to support the ongoing care of our service users." It added families of patients can access its intensive community treatment team, and they are asked how they wish to be communicated with when patients are admitted. A user group has also been set up, which the health board said helps it "listen and learn about how to make significant, meaningful improvements" in the care it provides. Recording a narrative conclusion, assistant coroner Nicola Jones explained that she was going to move away from a suicide conclusion because it was not clear what Miss James' state of mind was at the time.

Summary: A health board has acknowledged there was "no effective communication" with the family of a 15-year-old girl who fell to her death from the Menai suspension bridge.


Thanks, in part, to a new era of machine learning, computer are already starting to assimilate information from raw data in the same way as the human infant learns from the world around her. It means we are getting machines that can, for example, teach themselves how to play computer games and get incredibly good at them (work ongoing at Google's DeepMind) and devices that can start to communicate in human-like speech, such as voice assistants on smartphones. Computers are beginning to understand the world outside of bits and bytes. Fei-Fei Li has spent the last 15 years teaching computers how to see. First as a PhD student and latterly as director of the computer vision lab at Stanford University, she has pursued the painstakingly difficult goal with an aim of ultimately creating the electronic eyes for robots and machines to see and, more importantly, understand their environment. Half of all human brainpower goes into visual processing even though it is something we all do without apparent effort. "No one tells a child how to see, especially in the early years. They learn this through real-world experiences and examples," said Ms Li in a talk at the 2015 Technology, Entertainment and Design (Ted) conference. "If you consider a child's eyes as a pair of biological cameras, they take one picture about every 200 milliseconds, the average time an eye movement is made. So by age three, a child would have seen hundreds of millions of pictures of the real world. That's a lot of training examples," she added. She decided to teach computers in a similar way. "Instead of focusing solely on better and better algorithms, my insight was to give the algorithms the kind of training data that a child is given through experiences in both quantity and quality." Back in 2007, Ms Li and a colleague set about the mammoth task of sorting and labelling a billion diverse and random images from the internet to offer examples of the real world for the computer - the theory being that if the machine saw enough pictures of something, a cat for example, it would be able to recognise it in real life. They used crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk, calling on 50,000 workers from 167 countries to help label millions of random images of cats, planes and people. Eventually they built ImageNet - a database of 15 million images across 22,000 classes of objects organised by everyday English words. It has become an invaluable resource used across the world by research scientists attempting to give computers vision. Each year Stanford runs a competition, inviting the likes of Google, Microsoft and Chinese tech giant Baidu to test how well their systems can perform using ImageNet. In the last few years they have got remarkably good at recognising images - with around a 5% error rate. To teach the computer to recognise images, Ms Li and her team used neural networks, computer programs assembled from artificial brain cells that learn and behave in a remarkably similar way to human brains. A

Summary: By 2050 some experts believe that machines will have reached human level intelligence.

The excluded New York Times said the move was "an unmistakable insult to democratic ideals". The bar came hours after President Donald Trump delivered another attack on the media, saying that "fake news" was the "enemy of the people". The BBC has asked the White House to clarify its exclusion. BBC bureau chief in Washington, Paul Danahar, said: "We understand that there may be occasions when, due to space or circumstances, the White House restricts press events to the established pool. However, what happened today did not fit into that pattern." He added: "Our reporting will remain fair and impartial, regardless." Friday's briefing had been scheduled as an on-camera event in the briefing room but was changed to an informal off-camera event, known as a "gaggle", in Mr Spicer's office. Explaining the move to go off-camera, he said: "We don't generally do, we haven't done briefings when the president's had a major event." Mr Spicer said an "expanded" pool of journalists had been invited to the gaggle. Pools are not uncommon - the journalists attending then share their reporting with the White House press corps. However, the choice of those attending, including groups seen as friendly to the Trump administration, and the fact that other journalists who asked to attend were refused entry drew condemnation from media groups. White House Correspondents' Association President Jeff Mason said it was "protesting strongly". The BBC, CNN, the New York Times, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Times, Buzzfeed, the Daily Mail and Politico were among those excluded. Those allowed into the room included ABC, Fox News, Breitbart News, Reuters and the Washington Times. The Associated Press, USA Today and Time magazine refused to attend as a protest against the move. Both the Washington Post and McClatchy said they were unaware of the exclusions at the time and that had they known, their reporters would not have attended the gaggle. Both said they would not participate in future briefings if the exclusions continued. An anchor for Fox News, seen as supportive of the Trump presidency, also revealed opposition to the move. Bret Baier tweeted: "We joined w/all networks in a complaint to WH about the incident." When asked at the gaggle, Mr Spicer denied CNN and the New York Times had been denied access because the White House was unhappy with their coverage. But he said: "We are just not going to sit back and let false narratives, false stories, inaccurate facts get out there." CNN anchor Jake Tapper said the exclusion was "not acceptable, in fact it's petulant. And indicative of a lack of basic understanding of how an adult White House functions". Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron said the White House move was "appalling". In an editorial, the LA Times said: "If the intent was to intimidate reporters into writing fewer things that the administration does not like, and more things that it does, it is doomed to failure." The New York Times editorial said: "That First Amendment can be inconvenient for anyone longing for power without scrutiny. Mr. Trump might want to brush

Summary: Media groups have reacted angrily after several, including the BBC, were barred from an informal briefing with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.


Jack Cottle, of Durgates, Wadhurst, East Sussex was arrested after footage of a VW Polo being driven into a Fun Cup race on 14 June was posted on YouTube. He admitted causing a public nuisance by driving on to a live racing circuit causing it to be stopped and putting competitors in harm's way. Cottle is to be sentenced in November. Judge Martin Joy told him: "Motor racing is an inherently dangerous sport and quite plainly it was a matter that put persons at risk for their lives. "You must understand that the court will be considering a custodial sentence." The white car, carrying two passengers in addition to Cottle, was seen in the video travelling along the Kent track at high speed as other cars passed by during the last 30 minutes of the four-hour race. The footage has been viewed more than a million times online. Prosecutor Keith Yardy told the court: "As a result of his actions, the race was brought to a stop. He was interviewed. He said he was dared to do it and was sorry but would do it again." However, defence counsel Ailsa Williamson said Cottle was "an immature man" but had the support of his family who attended court with him. She said: "He was dared by friends. This was a foolish prank that should never have gone this far and he deeply regrets his actions."

Summary: A 22-year-old man who drove his girlfriend's car on to the Brands Hatch circuit during a race could face jail.


Londonderry's Oxford Bulls was formed in October 2015 but have struggled to find another team to play against. A plea was put out on social media several weeks ago to try to find them some competitors. The team's manager then received a message from West Brom star McClean, which he thought was a "wind-up". "Out of the blue I get a message from the man himself, James McClean, on Facebook," Kevin Morrison said. "To be honest I thought it was one of those fake accounts, that somebody was taking the hand out of me. "He said: 'I'm playing a match on Tuesday night, I'll be back in Derry at lunchtime on Wednesday - how does that sound?'" Football strips and runners at the ready, it was still a surprise for Kevin Morrison's son when one of his idols joined them at the city's indoor football centre - and brought a few mates to make up a team. West Brom forward McClean had featured in the Republic's friendly defeat by Iceland just 24 hours earlier. "My wee boy, Adam, would be a big fan of his. James walked in and Adam was standing at the edge of the pitch," Mr Morrison said. "He pointed at him, then he pointed again and then the jaw opened. He's was kind of star-struck for the rest of the game. "I think it was a fantastic day, we're going to have some great memories to take away from it." All the young footballers have a passion for the sport and the team has been set up with the help of the Foyle Down's Syndrome Trust. It provides a wide range of activities for young people and adults with the condition. Despite McClean's big match experience, Mr Morrison told the BBC that his young side gave the forward a good run for his money. "He [McLean] had a fantastic attitude and they loved him for it," he said. "The lads had a ball and James was an absolute gentleman, we couldn't believe our luck." The team had initially tried to find a squad with similar abilities, but with no success. After this week, the Bulls are now being offered potential tournaments against the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Liverpool. "You have no idea the offers we've had, it's been crazy," Mr Morrison said. "My phone is nearly melting. I've had hundreds of messages from mainstream football clubs right across the island, right over to England. "[Northern Ireland winger] Paddy McCourt came down to help in training on Sunday as well, so it has been an amazing week and the boys have really responded to it. "They've taken to it like ducks to water and I think we could have serious footballers on our hands before long," he added.

Summary: Republic of Ireland footballer James McClean has surprised a team of children with Down's syndrome following a social media appeal.


Media playback is not supported on this device The 44-year-old's predecessor Bob Bradley had spoken of a list of January transfer targets that Swansea had drawn up before his departure last week. But Clement admits he has some of his own targets in mind. "I've had assurances from the club that the opportunity (to buy players) will be there in January," Clement said. "Before I came there were discussions and targets, those targets are known to me now. "I bring with me some of my own ideas and thoughts on where we need to strengthen and players I've seen and like. "It has to be done quickly. But I'm gathering information, that started against Palace, and it's only fair to see what they (the current players) can offer." Swansea were taken over last summer by an American consortium fronted by Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien, and have hired former economics journalist Altman, of North Yard Analytics, as the club's 'Moneyball' expert. 'Moneyball' is the use of statistical analysis to buy what is undervalued and sell what is overvalued made famous by a book and subsequent movie based on the Oakland Athletics baseball franchise under general manager Billy Beane. Clement is comfortable with the input of New York-based Altman using data to analyse the current squad and help identify transfer targets as part of the 'due diligence process'. "I'm a believer statistical analysis should be part of the jigsaw puzzle that goes together to help recruit players and assess your own team," Clement said. "I have experience of this, I've travelled in the United States and visited a number of sports teams that use data. "It is my belief it should be used as part of the due diligence process in deciding who should come to the club. "But it's just one part, because you can't take away the expertise of the scouting, calls to get information about a player's character and their professionalism. "We we will be using data as part of the whole picture. Dan is someone hired by Steve and Jason, but he's sent me through some information. He's an intelligent man and an expert in the field." Former Bayern Munich assistant Clement, who had also assisted Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and Paris Saint German said he felt the Swans job was his ''biggest'' personal challenge. "I have told the players I am absolutely up for the challenge, I am with you on this. I am excited by the challenge," he said. "I have stayed at Bayern and had a great chance to win the league there and advance into further stages of the Champions League. "But I have done that for the last six seven years now and I want another challenge this is going to be really exciting i can feel it already. I feel good about it." Ancelotti backed his long time deputy to be a success. "I think he has a lot of motivation because he wanted to come back to England to be a manager in the Premier League," he said. "He has this

Summary: New Swansea boss Paul Clement will work alongside 'Moneyball' expert Dan Altman to target recruits in the January transfer window.


The Republican presidential nominee suggested on RT that Democrats were behind claims Russian intelligence agencies had hacked their computers. Mr Trump has faced a backlash since praising Russian President Vladimir Putin at a Wednesday night forum. His Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, accused him of being unpatriotic. Mr Trump was interviewed on Thursday night by Larry King, a former CNN host who now presents a show on RT America, a Russian-funded TV network. Trump and Putin: The new bromantics? When King asked him about reports that Russia is trying to disrupt the US election, Mr Trump was sceptical. "I think it's probably unlikely," he said. "I think maybe the Democrats are putting that out. "I hope that if they are doing something, I hope that somebody's going to be able to find out, so they can end it, because that would not be appropriate at all." A Trump spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, suggested Mr Trump did not realise King's show was part of a Russian-backed network. "Mr Trump recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favour to Mr King," she said. Why Trump strikes a chord with Russians "What Larry King does with the interview content is up to him. We have nothing to do with it." Back in the late 1980s and 1990s, Larry King was a titan of US political media. A guest spot on his television call-in show provided current and aspiring candidates a way to reach a national audience in a low-stress, friendly environment. Donald Trump, back when he was just a larger-then-life real-estate developer and New York socialite, was a regular on King's programme. It's not entirely surprising then that the Republican nominee accepted an interview request from his long-time friend. That, however, is when Mr Trump's staff should have done a bit of research, found out the interview would be broadcast on RT and told their candidate to come up with a scheduling conflict and politely pull out. Given the heat Mr Trump has taken recently for showering praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian-owned RT is the last outlet he should be on. This is either another example of the Trump team's questionable advance work or - perhaps more troubling - its judgement. No matter the explanation, the story re-enforces the politically damaging perception that Mr Trump is uncomfortably chummy with the Russian government. Private cyber-security analysts have blamed Russian intelligence agencies for electronic break-ins into Democratic Party computers that emerged in leaks over the summer. Earlier this week Defence Secretary Ash Carter said the US would not ignore Russia's "efforts to interfere with our democratic processes". During a televised forum on Wednesday on national security, Mr Trump complimented Mr Putin for having "great control over his country". Mr Putin has offered kind words for Trump in the past, too, describing him as "a talented man". The Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, offered words of caution for Mr Trump on Thursday. "One has to be a little careful to let flattery affect one's judgment," he told CNN.

Summary: Donald Trump has told a Kremlin-funded TV network "it's probably unlikely" that Russia is trying to influence the US election.


Passenger Kris Goodman, 30, was travelling on the bus with his five-year-old daughter when the incident happened at about 20:30 on Monday. He said two teenagers, one armed with a machete more than a foot long, targeted the bus in Alexandra Parade. Other vehicles were also said to have been targeted. Several police vehicles and a helicopter were seen in neighbouring Roystonhill following the incident. A Police Scotland spokesman said two men were arrested on Monday night.

Summary: Two men have been arrested in connection with reports that a teenager armed with a machete attacked a bus in the east end of Glasgow.


Instead of the broad shoulders and square jaw of Colin Firth there is a modestly-sized chest and pointy chin. There is little description of him in Pride and Prejudice, so the academics used historical fashions from the 1790s, when it was written. This version also wears a powdered wig. "Our Mr Darcy portrayal reflects the male physique and common features at the time," says Amanda Vickery, professor of early modern history at Queen Mary University of London. "Men sported powdered hair, had narrow jaws and muscular, defined legs were considered very attractive," she says. Colin Firth got the nation's collective hearts racing in 1995 with his depiction of the mysterious Mr Darcy in the BBC's adaptation. Further adaptations since have followed in the style of Firth's portrayal including Matthew Macfadyen in the 2005 film of Pride and Prejudice. But the academics say their muscular chests and broad shoulders would have been the sign of a labourer and not a gentleman at the time the book was written. The fans' favourite Mr Darcy moments - when Colin Firth walked out of a lake dripping wet and Matthew Macfadyen crossed a field in the mist, both showing off their chests - would not have looked the same with the historically accurate Mr Darcy and his sloping narrow shoulders. Some fans have not been impressed by the portrait. Professor John Sutherland, from University College London, who led the research says they only had "scraps" of physical description of the character Fitzwilliam Darcy. As well as looking at the fashions of the day they also looked at Austen's relationships and the men who may have inspired her characters. "He is our most mysterious and desirable leading man of all time, says Prof Sutherland. And he appears frequently in modern culture. Further depictions of Mr Darcy include Matthew Rhys who played the character in the TV adaptation of the Pride and Prejudice "sequel" Death Comes to Pemberley. He also inspired the character of Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding, also portrayed by Colin Firth in the film versions.

Summary: Academics have revealed what they claim is the first "historically accurate" portrait of Jane Austen's Mr Darcy - and he's a world away from the romantic hero of films and TV.


The Scot, who retired from racing last year, is joining forces with UK motorsport authority the MSA for the scheme. The former Williams test driver said: "I knew I wanted to give something back when I stopped racing." The scheme will start with motorsport, but there are plans to expand it into other male-dominated environments. Wolf said: "I never set out to become a role model but somehow I did. "The opportunities are out there. We aim to inspire female talent to ensure in the long term our sport is diverse." It will be officially launched at the Autosport International Show at Birmingham's NEC on Thursday 14 January. Wolff spent three years involved in test and development work at Williams, and took part in four practice sessions at grands prix over the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Before that, she spent seven years driving for Mercedes in the German touring car championship (DTM).

Summary: Susie Wolff is launching an initiative aimed at increasing the number of women involved in motorsport.

It looked at the number of accidents recorded at each junction, then weighted the results according to the severity of injuries sustained and how many cyclists were active in the area. The Arkleston Road/A761 junction in Paisley headed the list. The charity, which promotes walking and cycling, said the results highlight the importance of better infrastructure. The findings will be presented at the Scottish Transport Applications and Research conference this week. Locations with dangerous junctions included Wallyford, Dundee, Tranent, Inverness and Stirling. Roundabouts were featured in eight of the dangerous junctions, with seven others being T-junctions or staggered junctions. Sustrans Scotland director John Lauder said: "Safety is often cited as the main reason why people don't cycle for more of the journeys they make every day. "This research highlights the importance of having high-quality cycling infrastructure in place at junctions, so that collisions can be prevented. "We know that better cycle infrastructure increases the feeling of safety and ultimately the number of people on bikes." He added: "Put quite simply: the more people in a place who cycle, the safer it becomes for everyone." Sustrans Scotland has been working with local authorities to address some of the specific concerns. It contributed to a consultation on improving one of Edinburgh's busiest junctions, at Sheriffhall roundabout. A Transport Scotland spokesman said: "The Scottish government remains committed to undertaking improvements at Sheriffhall roundabout having announced the preferred route option earlier this year. "As part of the scheme, grade separation at Sheriffhall will improve access for pedestrians and cyclists compared to the existing arrangement. "By allowing Edinburgh City Bypass traffic to pass over it will significantly reduce congestion and improve accessibility for all modes of transport including pedestrians and cyclists."

Summary: A list of the country's top 20 cycling collision hotspots has been drawn up by the charity Sustrans Scotland.


Winger Martin Donnelly scored the first with a low curling accurate shot from outside the box in the 35th minute. Just before half-time Ards keeper Ryan Brown made a brilliant save from striker David McDaid's penalty. McDaid did make it 2-0 on 62 minutes by turning the ball in from about six yards and late on sub Stephen Garrett wrapped it up with a close-range third. Seconds before Donnelly had netted the opener, Ards fluffed a great chance to take the lead when Jordan Baker put a six-yard header wide. And, just after going 2-0 down, Ards half-time substitute Stephen O'Neill went close to scoring against his former club but saw a header cleared off the line. The historic win also brought a first trophy for manager Gerard Lyttle, who last October took on the job of succeeding Tommy Breslin, the north Belfast club's most successful manager. Breslin, who had guided the Reds to eight trophies, stood down after Cliftonville's early-season league form stuttered. Lyttle, with Celtic for a spell as a player, took over originally on a temporary basis. But, after a promising start results-wise, the Solitude board gave Lyttle the full seal of approval and they will feel vindicated by this success. Ards had gone into the final as massive underdogs, even more so having agreed to play on their opponents' ground, rather than a neutral venue, to benefit from bigger gate receipts. Manager Niall Currie's main target is to get the North Down club, who were relegated in April 2014 and haven't had their own ground since the late 1990s, restored to the top flight of the Irish League. They will feel heartened. by giving a good account of themselves when the odds were stacked against them, and will be many people's favourites to go on and win the Championship One title. Cliftonville manager Gerard Lyttle: "We told the lads to play themselves into the history books. "Winning is everything to me and you have to get trophies at this club. "I cannot believe it, winning as a manager is completely different. "All the hard work pays off when you get a trophy at the end of it all." Cliftonville's David McDaid: "It was great to score in the final after missing it last year. "The keeper made a good save from my penalty and the lads kept me head up at half-time. "This is history for the club, the whole team played well and I'm thrilled to be part of it." Ards: Brown, Hall, Gage, Cully, Lambe, Dorrian (O'Neill 45), McMillen (E McAllister 73), Arthurs, McAllister, Baker, Carson. Cliftonville: Devlin, Cosgrove, Smyth, McGovern (Flynn 77), Ives, M Donnelly, Catney, Knowles, Curran (George 86), J Donnelly, McDaid (Garrett 81). Referee: Andrew Davey (Bangor)

Summary: Cliftonville became the first club to win the League Cup four years in a row by beating Ards in Saturday's final.


Police said jewellery was taken from two properties in Barrule Park during the day - taking the total to 32 homes in less than a fortnight. Insp Derek Flint said 120 incident logs were completed on Tuesday compared to 37 for the same period last year. Isle of Man residents have been warned by police not to attempt vigilante-style attacks on attempted burglars. The warning follows what police labelled "wild speculation" on social media. Insp Flint said "circulating untested information on Facebook puts others at risk and people must stop doing this". He added: "A call to us with information is much more productive than the wild speculation that some individuals are resorting to on social media. "Police are working flat out to catch those responsible but that, contrary to speculation, we haven't brought in any officers from the UK. "This is being managed within our own resources." Break-ins or attempted break-ins have been reported in Douglas, Onchan, Castletown, Port St Mary, Lonan and Ramsey. Police are again asking for homeowners to remain vigilant.

Summary: An unprecedented spate of burglaries on the Isle of Man continued on Tuesday with the first break-ins in Ramsey.


The camera and medical equipment firm brought the case against ex-chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and 15 others. A Tokyo court found Kikukawa and five others liable for $529m. The ruling comes comes six years after former chief executive Michael Woodford exposed his colleagues for falsifying accounts to conceal losses of $1.7bn. The scandal was one of the biggest financial frauds in Japan's history, but Kikukawa and two other executives who pleaded guilty never went to jail. Instead, they were given suspended sentences of up to three years. An Olympus spokesman declined to comment, saying the former employees could appeal against the ruling. One of the six men found liable by the court has since died, but his family could still be held responsible for his share of the damages, according to the AFP news agency.

Summary: Six executives sacked by Japan's Olympus have been ordered to pay more than half a billion dollars in damages after a massive accounting fraud.


Champagne tastes like sheet metal after the third glass. Sunbathing gives you cancer. And the ubiquity of Henry Moore sculptures in English market towns in the 1970s put me off his work for a quarter of a century. Back then, in Harold Wilson's Britain, Moore's monumental stone figures and giant abstract casts had the same worthy municipal feel as the local town hall. Any conurbation large enough to support a Boots, a cinema and a public convenience seemed compelled to plonk an enormous Moore sculpture on a prize piece of public real estate. His misshapen family groups and huge pierced boulders of bronze were like those fashionable avocado bathrooms - not nearly as groovy as the older generation thought. More Abigail's Party than the Sex Pistols. I wasn't alone in wanting no more Moore. In 1967, he offered the Tate Gallery "20 or 30 major pieces". Fellow artists were less keen, saying it was wrong to devote so much space to a single living artist (Moore had insisted his gift be on permanent display, which would have taken up a sizable chunk of the Tate's sculpture galleries). The Tate declined - and the artist gave the work to a grateful Art Gallery of Ontario instead. That was then. Forty years later, I have aged, and so have Moore's sculptures. They have fared much better than me - they look terrific now. Maybe it's their sense of calm permanence in our superficial, super-fast world, or my romanticising of Moore's post-war vision of modernity. Either way, it was a pleasure to spend yesterday at his old home in Perry Green, Hertfordshire, which is now The Henry Moore Foundation. He was a sincere and dedicated artist who knew he wanted to be a sculptor aged 11, had his first commissions in his teens, and went on to excel at the Leeds School of Art. There he met and befriended another aspiring young sculptor called Barbara Hepworth, who, like Moore, was inspired by the Yorkshire landscape of their birth. He read widely, immersed himself in art and drew on influences far and wide, from primitive African artefacts to Parisian Cubism. His intellectual and technical wherewithal enabled him to successfully incorporate all these ingredients into harmonious, pleasing forms that feel both ancient and modern. It's what gives his work such broad appeal and why it can be seen in hundreds of cities around the world - there is something in it for everyone. His drawings of sheep and apple trees have an intensity and energy that feels kinetic. You'll see plenty of the real thing if you sit at his old oak desk in the little shed with a picture window that looks out onto the fields of sheep that frequently wander over to look at you. There are some good drawings from his student days, which you can see in an exhibition opening this Saturday at the Foundation called Becoming Henry Moore. There are plenty of sculptures, too, in the exhibition and dotted about the 70 acres of landscape, which the canny Moore used as a

Summary: You really can have too much of a good thing.


The demonstrators seem oblivious to the searing heat, despite the fact they are dressed in heavy black jackets - a uniform given to them by their union leaders. The atmosphere is almost festive at times - a traditional workers' song blares from speakers, and a few dozen members of the crowd start singing and dancing. Protests such as these with workers demanding a higher minimum wage are now a regular occurrence in big cities in Indonesia, taking place on an almost weekly basis. As the economy has grown, workers, , worried they are getting left behind, want a bigger piece of the pie. Said Iqbal, the head of Indonesia's confederation of trade unions and the man behind many of the protests, has become a hero of sorts for Indonesia's workers. Labelled aggressive and uncompromising by industry bosses, he has helped to secure a 40% jump in the minimum wage in some parts of Indonesia - mainly through a combination of organising massive protests and threatening to shut down factories. But despite this, he wants to keep on fighting. "What I don't understand is how an Indonesian worker can work for decades and still be poor, while the rich keep getting richer," he says. "We won't stop protesting until there's justice and prosperity for everybody." But Indonesian bosses say union leaders like Mr Iqbal are being unrealistic. They complain the economy has started to slow down, Indonesia's reputation has been damaged abroad because of worker protests, and higher wages would see them losing out to other manufacturing rivals. "The problem is we are competing not just against ourselves - Indonesian companies - we are competing with Vietnam, China, and the new emerging markets like Cambodia - and soon even Burma will open up and compete with us," Mr Harijanto, the chairman of the Footwear Association in the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, tells me. He says the government's decision to increase the minimum wage by 40% this year, could set a dangerous precedent and mean workers expect significant wage increases every year. 2011: 1.27 million Indonesian rupiah 2012: 1.68 million Indonesian rupiah 2013: 2.2 million Indonesian rupiah Source: KADIN, Indonesian Chamber of Commerce According to him, the inconsistency in government policy and the higher costs could see some companies go out of business. "Everybody loses in this situation - the employers, the businesses, the government and the workers," he says. "If we shut down, then no-one has jobs. But we can't keep operating with these higher salaries because we are uncompetitive in comparison to other nations." Mr Harijanto says 900,000 jobs will be lost in labour-intensive industries within the next year if the salary raises continue at the pace they have been going, and warns millions more could be affected in years to come. The minimum wage in Indonesia varies from province to province, and depends on the standard of living in each area. For example, in Jakarta, the minimum wage is now 2.2 million Indonesian rupiah a month ($226; Â£150) but in West Java it is only 1.25 million rupiah, up from 850,000

Summary: Hundreds of factory workers have gathered in front of the Indonesian Supreme Court building in central Jakarta, their arms raised in anger.


When Angie Konrad tweeted that the heating was switched off on her train, she did not expect the operators of that line to read the message and alert the driver to switch the heating on so she could enjoy the rest of her journey in comfort. Twitter is enabling companies to engage in a much warmer relationship with their clientele, but when things go wrong for the customer, it is also the best way to get grievances resolved quickly and in real time says comedian David Schneider, who is also a Twitter expert and runs social media consultancy That Lot. "If you're 29th in the queue on a phone call, only you know that. It's you and the person who's keeping you on hold. But if you tweet, it's public and it could be picked up, and I think companies are very aware of that," says Mr Schneider. Or catch up on BBC iPlayer A bad review or negative comment can be retweeted by millions, and companies are often keen to defuse customer anger very quickly in a public space such as Twitter. If it is done cleverly, it can even work in a company's favour. "I remember there was a time where there was an outage on O2 on the network and they were getting a hell of a lot of bad press," says Mr Schneider. "People were tweeting very aggressively at the O2 account and about O2 - it was trending. "They happened to have a very skilful, self-deprecating, humorous person on their Twitter feed at that time who dealt with the abuse in a very amusing way." Mr Schneider says it was interesting to see a wave of criticism turn to positive comments from the customers. When a complaint is treated with a personal touch, it can even go viral on Twitter. For instance one Argos customer service representative chose to reply to customer Immy "Badman" Bugti's complaint using the same street style he had used in his tweet. A shortened version of the messages read: "@Argos_online: Yo, wen you gettin' da ps4 tings in moss side? Ain't waitin' no more." "@BadManBugti: Safe Badman. We gettin' sum more PS4 tings in wivin da next week, y'get me." The company response from Argos was retweeted over 1,500 times within the space of a few hours. Jo Causon, chief executive of the Institute of Customer Service, says consumers are becoming much more savvy and expect organisations to relate to them as real life human beings and not simply transactions any more. "One of the key things that we're seeing in the changing world we're all living in is that we want to have better dialogue, not just monologue, with our organisations," says Ms Causon. According to a poll of 2,000 people by the communications agency Fishburn Hedges and Echo Research in April 2012, 36% of people had used a social media platform to contact a big company and 65% said it was a better way than call centres to get in touch with companies. It was not just confined to the

Summary: There was a time when a strongly worded letter was the only means of having your complaint heard by a company, but is tweeting now the best way to get your gripe to the front of the queue?


Alpha Foxtrot, affectionately known as Foxy, was the last of the fleet to fly when the jet was withdrawn from service in 2003, and displaying it at the airfield was only ever a temporary solution. Concorde enthusiasts are keen to see the aircraft indoors, protected from the elements, and back on display as soon as possible. But the decision rests with Airbus and British Airways (BA) who are currently considering two separate business plans for museums to house the jet. So how vital is it to get a roof over the plane? Ben Lord, chairman of the Save Concorde Group, which submitted its plan for a museum in June 2011, said he was expecting a decision "any day". The group would like to see Foxy fly again in the future, but Mr Lord said this could only happen if the aircraft was looked after indoors. "Obviously the long-term thinking is if it's indoors, nice and dry, where engineers can get easier access, ultimately that enhances the prospect of it flying again," he said. "But the aircraft is still exposed to the elements. Largely it's causing corrosion issues. People could argue that it was outside all the time when it was in service, but when it's flying the outside skin heats up to 127C so it was keeping it dry. "Being exposed to harsh winters and rainy conditions isn't good for it. "The shameful part of it all is it will be nine years in November. By now it should be under cover." The Concorde Trust has been working on plans for an indoor museum for some years, but hit a snag in May last year when their bid for £2.9m from the Heritage lottery Fund was turned down. The trust has since submitted revised plans. Project director Lloyd Burnell said the trust was working with the Bristol Aero Collection (BAC) on plans for a museum. "It needs to be undercover for the preservation of the aircraft. Aircraft are not designed to sit around," he said. Another reason they want it indoors is so the museum can also display the BAC - exhibits charting 100 years of the city's aviation history. "We submitted plans to the Heritage Lottery Fund last year. That total scheme was £9m and the application was for £2.9m. They were turned down. We continued to work on alternative proposals with a number of major stakeholders," Mr Burnell said. "The Concorde Trust and BAC work as a single organisation as Concorde is part of the Bristol aviation heritage collection - arguably the most well-known, the centrepiece of the collection - and it all needs to stay together." But Mr Burnell was tight-lipped about what their plans involved. "It's very easy to over-promise which leads to levels of expectation. We are not going to do that," he said. Of the fleet being kept in the UK, Foxy is not the only Concorde being kept outside. One is on display alongside a runway at Heathrow Airport, while another is outside at Brooklands Museum in Weybridge. Conditions also vary with those being displayed

Summary: More than 18 months have passed since the Concorde at Filton, near Bristol, was closed to the public.


Having made only three in the first innings, Cook was caught at mid-wicket for five off Jack Brooks (3-22). Adil Rashid took 4-72 as MCC were bowled out for 220 in their second innings, despite Nick Compton's 74. First-innings centurion Adam Lyth made 46 not out as Yorkshire eased to victory with a day to spare on 73-1. Cook did not even manage a boundary in his last competitive knock before England head to the West Indies. Last week, Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie said Cook's inclusion in the MCC team was a "win-win for everyone". The Essex opener went into the annual Champion County first-class fixture after making 35 in last Friday's T20 match against Sussex - his first competitive innings since losing the England one-day captaincy. Having resumed on his overnight score of two, Cook fell to the first delivery of the day's seventh over as Brooks made the Tykes' first breakthrough. MCC, who began the day on 13-0, recovered after losing Cook early as Michael Carberry (23), James Hildreth (49) and Compton gave them a second-innings lead. But Rashid helped wrap up the innings and leave Yorkshire a victory target of only 70, which they passed with ease as Lyth hit seven fours in his 65-ball knock.

Summary: England Test captain Alastair Cook suffered his second failure of the match as county champions Yorkshire beat MCC by nine wickets in Abu Dhabi.


Moaza Al Matrooshi, aged 24, gave birth in London after doctors restored her fertility using frozen ovarian tissue removed when she was a young child. An advanced form of IVF using a donor egg as well as the mother's egg and father's sperm has been approved by the UK's fertility regulator. It is to prevent children being born with deadly genetic diseases. BBC Radio 5 live spoke to a father whose 13-year-old son was groomed online and sexually abused. He explains how difficult it was to spot there was a problem until it was too late. He is warning other parents to monitor carefully what their children get up to online, and to "accept it can happen". The charity Barnardo's says 297 children out of the 702 it supported in the last six months had been groomed online. The award winning children's novelist Sally Gardner believes we should. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she "thinks in pictures" and that "there isn't one way to decode language". The cost of Christmas dinner is at a four year high, with an average dinner and drinks now coming in at £10.71 per person. We spoke to family food bloggers and chefs to find their tips for bringing down the price as low as possible. What family and parenting issues would you like the BBC to cover?

They believe a Canadian lynx was prowling around the fields of the South West in 1903 before being shot after attacking two dogs in Devon. Tests on the animal revealed it had probably spent some time in captivity before escaping or being set free. The animal had been donated to Bristol Museum at the time of its death and kept in its stores for decades. The scientists' findings are published in the journal Historical Biology. Dr Ross Barnett, a molecular biologist from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Durham, said: "I've seen one of these cats in the wild. "They are pretty impressive cats - they are a reasonable size, and they have lots of fluffy fur which makes them look even bigger. They have sharp claws, teeth and strong muscles." From blurry photos of the Beast of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, to reports of a lion on the loose in Essex in 2012, the UK has a long tradition of spotting big cats. Most of these claims are dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes or even hallucinations, but not in this case. In 1903, the unusual cat was donated to the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. The museum's records state that it had been shot after attacking and killing two dogs close to Newton Abbot in Devon. Unsure of exactly what it was, the exotic beast was stuffed, its skeleton preserved, and then the remains were tucked away in the museum's stores. More than a century later, the cat was unearthed by a scientist who thought the find might be significant. An analysis of the skeleton and mounted skin revealed that the animal was a Canadian lynx, which is about two to three times the size of a domestic cat and is usually found in Canada and the northern states of the US. The researchers found that the animal's teeth were badly decayed. Dr Barnett said: "We think it had probably been in captivity at some point in its life. "It had lost all of its incisors, which would have been a pretty debilitating injury for a wild cat, but not a problem for one in captivity. "It also had massive amounts of plaque on its molars, which are indication of it not having a wild diet - something with lots of wet cat food, essentially ready-processed meat like steaks." The researchers believe that the lynx had been in captivity for some time, but they were unable to find any records of the cat's owner. "Was it someone's pet? Was it part of a small menagerie that was travelling through the area? There aren't really any zoos nearby where it could have escaped from," Dr Barnett said. The team is also unsure how long the animal had been at large in Devon before it was killed. Its decayed teeth would have limited its chances in the wild, but the lynx is an adaptable animal, and may have been able to survive by preying on small mammals. While many big cat sightings remain unverified, sometimes the rumours do turn out to be

Summary: A "big cat" was on the loose in the English countryside at the turn of the last century, scientists say.


The 22-year-old actress was in the Prestbury house with a female friend when thieves broke in on Tuesday night. They locked the pair in a room while they stole jewellery and a mobile phone before escaping, police said. Ms Flanagan's spokesman said she was "very shaken but unharmed". Police said they were investigating. Earlier in the day, the actress had posted a message on social networking site Twitter to say she was looking forward to her boyfriend, Manchester City footballer Scott Sinclair, returning home. Ms Flanagan played Coronation Street's Rosie Webster and also appeared on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after leaving the soap last year.

Summary: Burglars confronted former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan during a break-in at her Cheshire home.


The justices voted 5-4 to grant an emergency appeal from the clinics after a federal appeals court had earlier upheld the new Texas law. Clinics have argued that the measures will lead to a second major wave of Texas clinic closures in as many years. The southern US state had 41 abortion clinics in 2012 but only 19 remain. The new restrictions were due to take effect on 1 July. They require abortion clinics to meet hospital-grade standards and for doctors at the clinics to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Critics say both provisions are designed to shut down abortion providers and will force women to seek abortions at illegal and unlicensed facilities. Monday's ruling means clinics unable to meet the restrictions will remain open at least until the Supreme Court decides whether it will hear the appeal from clinics.

Summary: Several abortion clinics in Texas will remain open after the US Supreme Court decided to put strict new measures against them on hold.


McIlorum, 28, went off on a stretcher after a tackle on Broncos half-back Anthony Milford and went to hospital. The Leeds-born England international has played 220 games for the Warriors. "Micky could be out for six months," Wigan coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra. "He's playing rugby league and these things happen."

Summary: Wigan hooker Michael McIlorum is facing a six-month lay-off after sustaining a suspected broken ankle in Saturday's World Club Series defeat by Brisbane.


Protesters shouted "democracy" and waved banners criticising planned changes to laws on surveillance. The measures would expand government access to digital data and allow for greater surveillance by police. The EU is investigating whether the new legislation violates its standards. The conservative Law and Justice Party was elected with a majority last October - the first time since democracy was restored in 1989 that a single party won a mandate to govern alone. "We want to keep our democracy and freedom," one of the organisers said. "Our privacy, intimacy is under threat, we can be followed, watched over both in our homes, and online," Mateusz Kijowski, leader of the Committee for the Defence of Democracy, told the protesters. One banner carried in Warsaw read: "You're supposed to listen, not listen in." Another sign said "Happy New Year 1984", an apparent reference to the authoritarian state portrayed in George Orwell's novel 1984. In Warsaw, the estimated 10,000-strong crowd gathered in front of the office of Prime Minister Beata Szydlo before marching to the palace of President Andrzej Duda. The EU is carrying out a preliminary assessment of whether curbs to the power of the constitutional court and moves to put public media under government control violate the bloc's principle of the rule of law. Ms Szydlo told EU lawmakers this week that her government had not breached EU or Polish laws and had a mandate to overhaul the country's laws.

Summary: Thousands of Poles have taken part in marches in Warsaw and other cities to protest about plans of the conservative government, which they say will curtail privacy and freedom.


Kyle Robert Joyner, of Wroughton Drive, Hartcliffe, Bristol, has been charged with conspiracy to steal, between 10 April and 5 May. The 22-year-old was detained on Friday following recent attacks on ATMs in the area. Seven machines have been attacked since the start of the year. He was remanded to appear before Bristol Magistrates' Court later.

Summary: A man has been charged in connection with cash machine explosions in Bristol and North Somerset.


It was originally designed and built for billionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who wanted to make the world's first solo dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. But after he died in a plane crash, former property investor Chris Welsh, who is based in California, bought the submarine and is now taking on the lonely challenge himself. Chris said: "I've been working day and night for two years pursuing this. I'm really excited to get out there and do it - I can't wait. "The rewards of this is breaking ground in so many ways - in raw human exploration, on bringing back science, and in getting a better understanding of our world." The experimental sub was created and built by British engineer Graham Hawkes. Fitted with wings and a tail fin, its design is based on that of a plane. Chris Welsh hopes to "fly" down to the bottom of the trench, and break the record for the first lone dive there, later this year. After this, he and the Virgin team also plan to plunge down four other trenches around the world, with the hope of reaching the deepest point in five oceans.

Summary: The Deep Flight Challenger submersible has been backed by Richard Branson's Virgin empire, and is currently undergoing its first water trials.


The striker hammered home a low right-footed shot from 15 yards out after Byron Moore's pass across the box had created the opportunity. It proved the decisive moment of a low-key contest. Both goalkeepers made fine second-half saves, Oldham's Connor Ripley keeping out a stinging drive from Stuart Sinclair and Rovers' Joe Lumley diving to keep out a Lee Erwin volley. A drab first half featured nothing more than long-range efforts from both teams. Rovers midfielder Billy Bodin produced two of them, but on each occasion was denied by Ripley. Harrison also brought a save from Ripley, while - at the other end - Oldham's Tope Obadeyi fired straight at Lumley and as Erwin shot wide. Rovers edged a close contest and left Oldham with nothing to show for a spirited performance. Match report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Bristol Rovers 1, Oldham Athletic 0.

The Super Eagles have been without a permanent coach since Sunday Oliseh quit the post in February. The Nigerian Football Federation is hoping to be able to draw up a shortlist of candidates by Friday. "We encourage applications from all highly-qualified persons, whether they be Nigerians or expatriates," it said. "Applications are welcome until Wednesday, and the Technical and Development Committee will meet on Friday to look through all applications and release a shortlist." Caretaker manager Salisu Yusuf guided Nigeria to victories over Mali and Luxembourg in two friendly matches in May, but the NFF president Amaju Pinnick has publicly declared his intention to appoint a foreign manager for the country instead. Nigeria were rocked by Oliseh's exit, brought about by a dispute over contract violations, and they had to play two crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt in March under the temporary charge of Under-23 coach Samson Siasia. The three-time African champions were eliminated from the competition and will not feature at next year's finals in Gabon. Opinions are sharply divided about what direction the NFF should follow after the country's failure to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 Nations Cup tournaments under local managers. Nigeria have been drawn in the same African 2018 World Cup qualifying group B as former champions Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia. The group includes three of the five African countries who went to the last World Cup in Brazil and they will be battling for a single place at the tournament in Russia. Algeria and Nigeria both got past the group phase in 2014 and were eliminated in the round of 16 while Cameroon, hampered before arriving in Brazil by a player strike over money, lost all three games and conceded nine goals.

Summary: Nigeria have started the process of finding a new manager of the national team, according to the country's football federation.


A win over Motherwell was not enough and Foran, who wants to stay on as manager, felt let down by some players. The manager made reference to "two or three bad apples in the dressing room". And he added: "I probably should have got rid of them in January. I stayed loyal to a lot of players and some of them didn't pay me back." Inverness won three of their last four Premiership matches as they fought to finish in the play-off spot. But Hamilton Accies' 4-0 hammering of Dundee on Saturday ensured they will face Dundee United for a spot in the Premiership next term, while Inverness will play Championship football despite their 3-2 win over Well. "It's obviously disappointment," Foran added. "The best clubs in the world get knocked down, it's how you rebuild and come back. I've told the players there are far worse off people in life. "But it happens in football. It is not all rosy. It is not all about winning all the time. I've been part of relegation teams - you stay loyal, you rebuild. You get knocked down, you get back up again. "You need to get rid of the two or three players you don't want, that haven't given 100%, and I look forward to getting rid of those three. "Of the starting 11 today, I would hope to have at least 10 of those for next season [midfielder Greg Tansey is leaving to join Aberdeen]. I am very proud of the players and when we got the right team playing, we could finish well, with guys giving their all for the club." Foran, who was a player at the time, stayed with Inverness when they were relegated from the top flight in 2009. One year into a four-year contract, he hopes to do the same as manager. "I want to be here next season," he said. "I will have a chat with the board probably on Monday or Tuesday and will find out what their thoughts are. But I am 100% behind this club and I expect to be here next season. "There are changes to be made, on and off the field. Personally I want a smaller squad. "I have got to look at myself as well. I haven't performed well enough. I have learned a heck of a lot this season - about myself, about players, the trust of people around you, and people you don't trust. "One of my favourite seasons as a player was getting promoted, because we stuck together. I was part of the relegated team and helped them come straight back up, and I hope to do the same next season." One player who will not be there is Tansey, who signed a pre-contract agreement with Aberdeen in March. The midfielder, 28, was dismayed to leave on the back of relegation but felt he had given his all for the cause. "It is never nice, but I can look myself in the mirror," said Tansey, who scored his seventh goal of the season in the win

Summary: Manager Richie Foran says Inverness Caley Thistle must rid themselves of "two or three bad apples" after they were relegated from the Premiership.


The roadblocks have caused widespread disruption in all Brazilian states. The Senate is due to vote on the impeachment on Wednesday. A simple majority in favour of a full trial will suspend Ms Rousseff for up to 180 days. The government has asked the Supreme Court to suspend the impeachment process for alleged irregularities. However, similar attempts have been rejected by the court. Protesters blocked the main access roads to Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo, causing huge traffic jams during the morning rush-hour. The protests spread to cities and towns across the country. Police said there were barricades on 14 highways in Brazil's 26 states and the Federal District, home to the capital Brasilia. In Rio de Janeiro, which will host the Olympics in August and September, protesters set up barricades at a major road linking the city to the state of Sao Paulo. In the north-eastern city of Natal, buses did not run in the morning and the road next to the main university was blocked. Classes were suspended. The anti-impeachment protests were organised by a left-wing umbrella organisation, the Popular Brazil Front, which promised to carry on with its direct action tactics. "We will fight everywhere to defend democracy. Brazil says no to the coup!" it said in a Facebook message. President Rousseff has vowed to keep fighting until the end against her impeachment. On Tuesday, the acting Speaker of the lower house of Congress, Waldir Maranhao, surprised the country when he announced that he had suspended the vote that allowed the impeachment process against her to go ahead. He said the 17 April vote in the lower house had breached Congress rules. Members had voted overwhelmingly in favour of the impeachment process going ahead. But within less than 24 hours he had revoked his decision to annul the vote. He gave no reason for his u-turn. If the Senate votes goes ahead on Wednesday and Ms Rousseff loses it, she will be replaced by Vice-President Michel Temer while the trial lasts. She says Mr Temer is a traitor who is taking part in a political coup against her democratically elected government. The president is accused of illegally manipulating finances to hide a growing public deficit ahead of her re-election in 2014, which she denies.

Summary: Supporters of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff have set up burning barricades and blocked roads across the country in protest against moves to impeach her.
