The General Synod has given minimal concessions to traditionalist Anglicans who opposed the move. They had sought to be in the care of a male alternative bishop on terms acceptable to them. But the synod decided women bishops should be able to decide the identity and functions of any such bishop. The BBC's religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott said women bishops would have only to consult a code of practice guiding them in their dealings with traditionalists. He said the decision made during a synod meeting at York University had left a lot of division in its wake. Members of the synod decided there was no need for further delay to the progress of a draft law allowing women to be made bishops. The law must now receive approval from a majority of the Church's 44 diocesan synods, before returning to the General Synod. It must then receive a two-thirds majority at the General Synod before receiving parliamentary approval and the Royal Assent. Our correspondent said it had been an "extraordinary weekend of intense emotion" and although supporters were celebrating a breakthrough, some traditionalists had left the synod chamber in tears. Proposals to create a class of male-only bishops to oversee traditionalist parishes were rejected on Saturday. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, had put their personal prestige behind the compromise plan, which would have allowed parishes unwilling to serve under a woman bishop to call upon the oversight of a male alternative. It would also have given that alternative bishop considerable legally-backed independence and autonomy as part of a "joint jurisdiction" over those parishes. Although the proposal gained a majority of votes in the synod as a whole, it failed because clergy - who vote separately from lay people and bishops - defeated it by just five votes. Our correspondent said Dr Williams had put his reputation on the line with the compromise plan and would now be in a difficult position as he tried to deal with discontent traditionalists who would probably stay in the church. The proposals will now go out to dioceses and return to the synod in a year's time when there will be a final vote. Campaigner Christina Rees, a member of the General Synod and chairwoman of Women in the Church, told the Press Association the synod's decision on Monday was "a wonderful outcome". She said: "This is wonderful news. It is entirely consistent with what synod indicated it wanted two years ago. "In one sense I am not surprised but I am delighted, it is very, very good news." But traditionalists have warned that the decision could result in many of them leaving the Church of England. The Reverend Prebendary David Houlding, a leading member of the Catholic Group on the General Synod, said he was concerned and he felt as if traditionalists were running out of options. He told PA: "There are several people who will be making hard decisions about their future. "I am staying in the Church of England for the time being until I

Summary: The Church of England's ruling body has decided that women bishops should be allowed, but there are further steps to take before they can be ordained.


Cuadrado, 28, shone in Serie A and the 2014 World Cup before joining the Blues for £23.3m from Fiorentina in February 2015, but failed to score in 13 games. He was loaned to Juventus last season, scoring four goals in 28 appearances to help them to the league and cup double. "I wanted him when I was Juventus coach. He will come back very soon and train and play with us," said Conte. "Now, he's a Chelsea player and he'll stay with us. If something changes you'll know." The arrival of Pedro at Chelsea from Barcelona last August saw Cuadrado join Conte's former club Juventus on loan five days later. As well as playing a significant part in Juventus' successful season, he also helped Colombia to a third-place finish at the Copa America this summer.

Profits for the July to September period are forecast to be 5.6% higher at 7.8 trillion won ($7bn; £5.7bn). Analysts had expected worse numbers after the Note 7 recall over faulty batteries and "exploding" phones. The earnings guidance does not give any details about the performance of individual businesses. The flagship Galaxy Note 7 was recalled in 10 markets around the world, including the US, Europe and South Korea. Some estimates had suggested the recall would reduce Samsung's profits by 1tn won or more. However, a strong performance by its chip and display business is expected to have offset some of those losses. The earnings guidance did not comment on calls by investors to radically restructure the firm into two separate holding and operating companies. On Thursday, Samsung had said it was "carefully reviewing" the suggestion.

Summary: Samsung Electronics says its operating profits are expected to have risen in the third quarter, despite the recall of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone.


Bayley, who had pleaded guilty, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum jail term of 35 years. Ms Meagher, originally from County Louth, was attacked in Melbourne last September as she walked home. The judge described Bayley as a "recidivist sex offender". Bayley was on parole for previous rape convictions when he attacked Ms Meagher. The case has led to criticism of the parole system in Australia's Victoria state. In an earlier hearing, the court was told that Bayley had a history of violent sex attacks. Judge Geoffrey Nettle said Bayley's rape of Ms Meagher was "savage and degrading". "This is a recidivist, violent sex offender who intended to kill and this killing is amongst the worst of its kind," he said. However, he said that Bayley's guilty plea had to be taken into consideration in the sentence. "As bad as your crimes are, you will have the opportunity in jail to strive for rehabilitation and I propose to set a non-parole period as an incentive for you to try." In a statement, Ms Meagher's family said: "This despicable crime against Gillian has happened and it has taken nine months to get resolved and to get justice." "The police and prosecutors have ensured that justice has been done and we as a family want to thank them for this." Ms Meagher's husband, Tom, said in a statement last week that his life would "never be normal again". "I miss her insight, fun and wit, her huge smile and infectious personality," he said. Ms Meagher, who was originally from Drogheda, moved to Australia from Ireland in 2009 with her husband. She worked for ABC Radio but went missing during a night out with colleagues. Her body was discovered six days later buried on the outskirts of the city. News of her death prompted thousands to take part in a rally against violence against women.

Summary: Australian Adrian Bayley has been jailed for the rape and murder of Irish woman Jill Meagher.


The poll has been triggered by the resignation of Tory MP Zac Goldsmith in protest at the government's backing for a third runway at Heathrow. Mr Goldsmith, who will run again as an independent, has said it "must be a referendum on Heathrow expansion". But the likely Lib Dem candidate said Mr Goldsmith's backing for Brexit would be "uppermost in voters' minds". Sarah Olney, who has already been selected to fight the seat at the next General Election, said it was a "farce" the by-election was taking place, saying it was the result of Tory in-fighting but added that the Lib Dems were looking forward to "putting our message in front of voters". Ms Olney, who like Mr Goldsmith is opposed to Heathrow expansion, told the BBC's Daily Politics: "We are on the same side as far as Heathrow is concerned, so for the voters to be able to choose between us, it's going to be fought on other issues - and I think Brexit is currently going to be the main issue that's uppermost in voters' minds." A local breakdown of the EU referendum results shows almost 70% of voters in the Richmond council area, which makes up the bulk of the constituency, backed Remain. Ms Olney is expected to be confirmed as the party's pick for the by-election after party leader Tim Farron rejected the idea of parachuting in one of its big names. The Conservatives are not fielding a candidate against Mr Goldsmith, who held the south-west London seat in 2015 with a 23,015 majority. The Lib Dems, who held the seat until 2010, finished second. Labour says it will field a candidate despite three of its MPs urging it to consider standing aside to maximise the chances of a Tory defeat. The Green Party said it was also likely to put forward a candidate although it said it supported "progressives working together to beat the Conservatives". In standing down, Mr Goldsmith - who has long campaigned against a third runway - fulfilled a pledge to quit if the government backed the expansion. He said: "There was no small print, no expiry date, no ambiguity. It was a simple promise. And it mattered. "I know it mattered, because the thought of Heathrow expansion fills most of my constituents with dread."

Summary: The Liberal Democrats have vowed to make the Richmond Park by-election about Brexit, not Heathrow.


Tests on animals, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, showed healing times could be cut by nearly a third. Experts said the early results were "quite impressive" but needed to be tested on people. More than 200,000 people in the UK have chronic wounds which can take weeks to heal. Ultrasound is already used to heal some bone injuries. A team from the Universities of Sheffield and Bristol tried the technology on mice with chronic wounds, which do not close readily and often become infected. Pressure sores from lying or sitting in the same position for too long, and diabetic foot ulcers which can lead to amputation, are both types of chronic wound. They become more common when we age due to a decline in our body's ability to repair itself. The high frequency sound waves physically vibrate cells in and around the wound. The process effectively wakes up the cells to make them more responsive to the wound. The study showed that in both old and diabetic mice, healing times were reduced from nine to six days. The report said ultrasound was "restoring healing rates to those observed in young healthy animals". In the tests the team were treating the wounds before they become chronic, so they will need to test the power of ultrasound on wounds that have been there for weeks. Dr Mark Bass, one of the researchers from Sheffield University, told the BBC News website: "At the moment, treatment is based around stopping the infection and hoping it heals, with ultrasound we are promoting the healing of the wound." "It's activating the normal healing process, that's why it's an attractive therapy; the ultrasound is simply waking up cells to do what they do normally." The researchers now need to study the approach in people, which they expect to do in the next year. "We're looking at 200,000 patients currently with a chronic wound, all those may well benefit from the technology," Dr Bass said. The researchers are using broadly the same equipment that is used in an ultrasound scan during pregnancy. Dr John Connelly, from Queen Mary, University of London, said: "They're getting almost complete reversal of impaired wound healing which is quite impressive." So does it have potential as a treatment? "I think it could, but that's a major question as wound healing is quite different between humans and mice," he said. "One of the big wound-healing treatments is negative pressure - putting the wound under a vacuum - that acts through mechanical stimulation, so it's entirely reasonable that ultrasound may also work."

Summary: A blast of ultrasound can help stubborn chronic wounds heal more quickly, a study suggests.


It is to the eternal misfortune of his closest competitor, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, that he plays in the time of the great Argentine otherwise he would surely have claimed the coveted crown more than once. Ronaldo and Messi's Barcelona team-mate Andres Iniesta - a Euro 2012 winner with Spain - were the other contenders and would be fitting and worthy winners in any era. This, however, is not any era - it is the Lionel Messi era. Media playback is not supported on this device Messi's brilliance is backed up by a blizzard of compelling statistics, not least his recent feat of breaking German striker Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record by ending the calendar year with 91 goals for club and country. The manner in which Messi has individually dominated the game's recent years is only emphasised by the fact that he has effectively made its highest individual honour his personal property. And at the relatively tender age of 25, and with a recently agreed deal to keep him at the Nou Camp until 2018, he has power and talent to add to his unique collection of Ballon d'Or honours. The latest coronation will also give fresh impetus to a debate that now rages with more intensity around Messi. Namely - is he the greatest to have played the game? He can justifiably take his place alongside other legends such as France's Michel Platini, who won three times in succession from 1983. Johann Cruyff won three times between 1971 and 1974 but his sequence was interrupted when Franz Beckenbauer won in 1972. Brazil's Pele and Messi's fellow countryman Diego Maradona are inevitably the other names always factored into the equation when working out who is the greatest - but this is a question that is almost impossible to answer definitively. The argument is shaped by, and in, different generations. The game and players change, which makes the debate even more of an inexact science. And of course, who is to say Pele or Maradona would not have emulated Messi's feat had they been eligible to win the Ballon d'Or? The award was created by France Football magazine in 1956 to honour the finest European player of the previous calendar year - non-Europeans were only eligible from 1997, a time way beyond that of Pele and Maradona. Those who support the cases of Pele and Maradona instantly evoke their impact on the highest stage of all, the World Cup, a place where Messi has yet to deliver the brilliance he does on a weekly basis for Barcelona. Pele's name burst into football's psyche as a 17-year-old when Brazil won the World Cup in Sweden in 1958. Injury curtailed his involvement when Brazil won again four years later and he was effectively kicked out of the tournament as an ageing team faded in England in 1966. And yet it was a sign of his enduring brilliance that he won another World Cup with Brazil in Mexico in 1970 as the outstanding figure in a team still widely regarded as the greatest there has ever

Summary: Lionel Messi's status as the planet's finest footballer was further cemented as he won Fifa's Ballon d'Or for an unprecedented fourth successive time.


The 25-year-old, who made his debut for the county in 2010, also plays as a right-handed, middle-order batsman. "We have a great squad and coaching staff and I feel that there is more silverware to come," Taylor told Gloucestershire's club website. He has taken 61 wickets in 42 first-class matches so far in his career. Chief executive Will Brown added: "It is fantastic to see yet another of our young stars commit to Gloucestershire. "Jack's drive to constantly improve, shown by his hugely improved batting performances, will no doubt keep him as a key member of the squad well into the future."

Summary: Gloucestershire off-spinner Jack Taylor has signed an extended contract with the County Championship Division Two side until the end of the 2019 season.


But this was no ordinary camping holiday. Instead, the Binks, from Colwyn Bay, Conwy, were on a mission to visit the grave of every Commonwealth serviceman and woman killed in those countries in World War One - all 750,000 of them. "We wanted to do something to commemorate the centenary of the Great War, something that no-one else would think of doing," said Steve, 58, a tour guide who has a lifelong passion for World War One. "First we thought we'd just go and visit every cemetery on the Western Front, but I thought it sounded a bit like trainspotting - just going in, taking photographs to say we've been and then walking away. "We wanted to do something more inspirational so I thought, why not stop at every headstone, read it and say thank you to the soldier." With just under 2,000 burial grounds dotted all over France and Belgium, the project is a mammoth undertaking. Four years in, Steve and Nancy, 56, have visited 766 cemeteries and have said "thank you" 461,012 times. As well as reading every headstone, they also recite the names on the memorials to the missing; those thousands of soldiers whose final resting places are unknown. "Most people don't quite understand the level of detail and work that's involved," said Steve. "Some of the larger cemeteries took six-and-a-half days just to walk the headstones because I make sure I stop, turn and read each one. "The huge Memorial to the Missing of the Somme in Thiepval has been our biggest challenge so far. "The sheer scale of trying to read 72,500 names with your neck stretched back, in an arch, with a cold wind blowing - it was impossible to do it in a week or two. "We had to keep returning to it over a six month period and keep chipping away, saying thank you to every soldier." Nancy, who has multiple sclerosis (MS), is unable to walk every road in every cemetery. "I like to sit down and read the cemetery register," she said. "I pick out the brothers, I find out the ages of the men and if they were awarded any medals. It's such interesting reading." The couple, who split their time between north Wales and the continent, work chronologically - so far they have visited most of the burial grounds that contain casualties from the first three years of the war. "We still have 450 cemeteries to visit for 1917 - including most of the big Somme burial grounds," said Steve. "That's going to take us at least 18 months to two years. "Then we have 800-odd cemeteries for 1918 burials and in that final year, the casualties were the highest for the whole war and because by then it was a war of movement, those cemeteries are quite fragmented so the trip will become quite logistically difficult." They also keep meticulous records of their trips. "We have 10 volumes of journals from day one," added Steve. "We write down our thoughts and feelings about the trips, about some of the

Summary: In 2012 - like many British couples - Steve and Nancy Binks decided to buy a caravan and head off on a tour of France and Belgium.


The observatory claims radio interference from household appliances would pose "a significant risk" to the Lovell Telescope's operation. Developers deny their plans would cause an "unacceptable impairment" to the observatory, described by Cheshire East Council as "internationally important". A government inspector will now hold a series of hearings into the proposals. Cheshire East councillors rejected the plans for 119 homes in Goostrey last year, concluding the proposals would "result in impairment to the efficiency of the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope". In representations to the council, Simon Garrington from Jodrell Bank said: "Radio interference has an impact on almost all the observations which are carried out. "Interference is correlated with human activity, whether due to intentional transmissions or unintentional leakage from a wide range of electrical and electronic devices. "The proposed development itself is likely to generate interference which exceeds the internationally agreed threshold for what constitutes 'detrimental interference' to radio astronomy observations." The proposed development site, off Main Road in Goostrey, is 1.95 miles (3.14km) from the observatory. Representing Cheshire East Council, Christopher Katkowski told the inquiry that the protection of Jodrell Bank was "a matter of global significance", because the Lovell Telescope's work is "internationally important". The inspector, Gareth Jones, admitted that he was "no expert" in radio astronomy, but he may be making a visit to the observatory to understand its work as part of the process. Gladman Developments launched an appeal after the council refused its application, claiming there was "no evidence" their plans would cause a significant increase in radio interference. The firm argues that the village of Goostrey already produces radio interference, so 119 extra homes would not make an unacceptable difference. Richard Kimblin QC added that the situation may have "some apparent complexities" but insisted the developer's case was quite simple: not enough homes are being built in the east of Cheshire. In a statement to Cheshire East Council, the company said it was "prepared to work with (Jodrell Bank) and consider any reasonable mitigation measures that they might suggest to alleviate their concerns." The government planning inspector will make recommendations to Communities Secretary Greg Clark, who will make a final adjudication.

Summary: A public inquiry into whether a planned new housing development would "impair" Jodrell Bank's telescope has begun.


George Clooney is a Hollywood superstar so this was going to be no easy feat. A browse on social media and a few phone calls to those in the know in Edinburgh and I heard he was due to visit the homeless charity cafe, Social Bite, on Rose Street. The fact I had written a story about the visit for the BBC Scotland news website helped too. Would he come? Would he arrive through the front door or a secret back entrance? I had nothing else to go on but hope, so I began my quest to seek out Mr C. I arrived to find barriers erected around the cafe entrance, could this be a clue that the rumours were indeed true? Could one of the world's most famous actors really be coming? Mum, Sandi Pringle, 57, and her daughter, Kirsten Pringle, 22, from Edinburgh, had been camped out since 07:00, so I joined them alongside a growing number of journalists, photographers and cameramen. Over the course of the next 90 minutes security guards arrived, more onlookers, and people started hanging out of their windows in the narrow tenemented-street. This was looking quite promising now, especially when I observed the security guards listening to their ear pieces and saying "He's landed". Squeal. People were starting to look nervous that they weren't in the perfect spot to get near "him" and they started shuffling towards what was thought to be the best vantage point. The security guard then said my section was to move back two feet to allow his car in and the fear of missing him was palpable. Then his red jaguar appeared around the corner and stopped just feet away from the entrance. He got out and immediately began greeting the now three-deep crowd lining the street. There was no mistaking him as I craned to catch a glimpse, his tan glowing against a sea of Scottish winter white faces. There was a surge from the crowd as he got closer up the line of people. And then there he was: smaller and thinner than I had thought he was going to be. Everyone agreed though that he was just as good looking in the flesh, and oh what a deep tan. The 54-year-old had weathered well all the ladies agreed. He was then greeted by the cafe owner, Josh Littlejohn, before being whisked inside. My sources tell me he tucked into a platter of different sandwiches including chicken and bacon and smoked salmon. He then left $1,000 for homeless people to enjoy lunch on him before spending 15 minutes meeting and greeting the staff, many of whom have been homeless themselves. Then he was back out into the street where I cheekily asked him for a selfie, not thinking he would. "Sure, I will," he drawled. I managed to take about 20 to make sure I had the best angle, of course, then he was off. A quick chat with my sources and I found out he was going for lunch to Tigerlily, so I headed off along George

The New Zealander wants them to finish as the top Welsh team in the table and also stake claims for places for Wales' summer tour Tests against Samoa and Tonga. Scarlets have secured a top-four finish and Ospreys are all but assured of qualifying for the play-offs. "One of the team goals was to be the top Welsh region," said Pivac. He continued: "So to finish top, we need a win on the weekend." The Pro12 title will be decided after semi-final play-offs in which Scarlets or Ospreys will travel to Ireland to face either Leinster or Munster. The leading Irish teams go into round 22 first and second in the table respectively. The team finishing top will play the fourth-ranked team with second hosting third meaning, as things stand, Scarlets would go to Munster while Ospreys would be at Leinster later in May. Pivac said the clash with the Ospreys, "is not a cup final", however, adding: "In isolation, it's one of our team goals is to finish top Welsh team on the ladder. "We were able to do that last year and we want to replicate that. "There's also the small matter of a tour to the southern hemisphere for Wales to play two Test matches. "Part of our role is to get results for the club. "It's also to help promote players to that next level so there's a lot to play for in this weekend's game." Pivac also highlighted how finishing highest among Welsh teams can affect which group they would play in during the 2017-18 Champions Cup. He said: "There is pressure. The top four is put to bed, but we certainly are looking at finishing as high up as we can because it impacts on the pool we have for Europe next year, which is important." Wales lock Jake Ball and Scotland back-rower John Barclay are doubts to face their local rivals as the regular season ends. Ball came off with a shoulder injury in Scarlets' win at Connacht on Saturday, and Pivac says he is "50-50" to be fit to face Ospreys. Barclay was withdrawn before kick off in Galway after suffering a hamstring twinge in the build-up and Pivac says he will not be tempted to select any injured players. He added: "We are selecting to achieve our team goals and to do that we're up against a strong Ospreys team who have similar goals, I would imagine. "And their players are playing for positions on the tour as well so will be equally motivated. "We'll be putting out the strongest team possible without being silly. "If there are players carrying injuries we have that luxury of the semi-final to think about as well." Scarlets won what was then called the Celtic League title in the first season of Welsh regional rugby in the 2003-04 campaign but they have not won it since. Their most recent semi-final play-off appearance came in 2013, when they lost at that stage to Ulster.

Summary: Scarlets boss Wayne Pivac has given his players a double target when they host Ospreys in the Pro12 on Saturday.


Dyfed-Powys PCC Christopher Salmon has called on the Welsh government to adopt the same plans floated in England. It follows a report in The Times that PCCs would replace fire authorities under UK government plans to be announced next month. The Welsh government said it would be better to devolve policing. Mr Salmon welcomed the initiative and said: "Joining up budgets and accountability is the best way to join up services for the public. "Bringing emergency services together will help local areas innovate to improve safety for the public. "Wales must not be left behind. "Fire and rescue services are currently under Cardiff control [Welsh government]. I call on our partners in the Welsh government to demonstrate their commitment to devolution and explore ways to devolve fire and rescue services to PCC areas in Wales." A Welsh government spokesperson said: "We fully support greater co-ordination between the emergency services, but we do not believe that giving police and crime commissioners responsibility for the fire service in Wales is the best way to achieve that. "Devolving responsibility for policing to the Welsh government would allow us to facilitate closer joint working across all three blue light services better than passing responsibility for fire and rescue services to PCCs."

Summary: The control of fire services in Wales should be offered to police and crime commissioners (PCC), it has been argued.


Flankers Cudd, 26, and 27-year-old Evans have signed two-year extensions with the Rodney Parade-based region. "I have no doubt that this news will give everyone involved with the Dragons a huge boost," said director of rugby Lyn Jones. "Both Lewis and Nic are quality players. Lewis has characteristics that make him a really good leader." Evans came through the Dragons age grades and played for Ebbw Vale and Newport RFC. before making his debut for the Men of Gwent in 2006. Cudd has made 60 appearances for the region since joining from Llanelli in 2012.

Summary: Forwards Lewis Evans and Nic Cudd have agreed new contracts with Newport Gwent Dragons.


The BBC's Milton Nkosi says it is believed the taxi was carrying 20 passengers when it went over a bridge and hit a train as it plunged onto a railway line below. South Africa has an exceptionally high accident rate on its roads. At least 10,000 people die on the roads a year, mostly due to reckless driving. No-one on the train was injured, according to ENCA news.

Summary: A minibus taxi has collided with a train near Ballito in South Africa, killing at least 14 people, according to KwaZulu-Natal emergency services.


Stanley Mullin said an officer had "tears in his eyes" as he said he could not do any more for Eric Hughes, 42. The policemen gave mouth-to-mouth and heart massage to the father-of-two from Warrington, while Mr Mullin rubbed his friend's hand, saying: "Come on, Eric!" The court also heard about the final movements of 18-year-old Paul Clark. Mr Mullin and Mr Hughes had travelled to Sheffield on 15 April 1989 to watch Liverpool play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final. Mr Hughes' son David, who was 17 at the time of the disaster, previously told the court how his father - who had worked as a lorry driver, a taxi driver and a salesman - was nicknamed "Eric The Red" because of his devotion to Liverpool FC. He told the hearing of his sorrow that his father had not lived to meet his grandchildren, and that he never "got to buy my dad a pint". The friends went into pen three together on the Leppings Lane terraces but were separated after a crowd surge, the hearing was told. Mr Mullin managed to escape through a gate at the front of the stand, which he said had been opened by a police officer. He later saw Mr Hughes being lifted off the terraces and laid on the pitch. The jury heard he was placed near the goal line at 15:26 BST - 20 minutes after the match was halted. PC Neil Mutch was giving Mr Hughes chest compressions while his colleague PC Barbara Hardwick - now Barbara Woodward - gave him the kiss of life. Mr Hughes was unresponsive, the jury heard. Mr Mullin said: "I was rubbing Eric's hand. I was talking to Eric while rubbing his hands, saying, 'Come on Eric! Come on!'" Mr Mullin said the officers, who were both crying, eventually stopped. He said: "The chap just looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said: 'I'm sorry I can't do any more.' They were so upset." In a statement, Mr Mutch said that after seeing Mr Hughes he was "in a very bad state", while Mrs Woodward was "very upset". Mrs Woodward told the court she had "blocked out" a lot of what happened on the day of the disaster. The court heard how the officers stopped giving first aid after a man who said he was a doctor told them Mr Hughes had died. Paul Clark was an apprentice electrician from Derbyshire. His parents described him as a "lovely young man" who was "fun-loving and caring". He went to the match with his father, Kenneth, and a friend, Andrew Booth. Mr Booth, who was with his friend inside pen three, said Mr Clark moved towards the front of the enclosure shortly before kick-off. "I would have said he was pushed forward by the crowd," Mr Booth said. He did not see his friend alive again and said that after kick-off the pressure in the enclosure intensified. Matthew Hill, a barrister representing the coroner, said there was no video or eyewitness evidence showing how

Summary: Two police officers wept as they tried to resuscitate one of the 96 fans fatally injured at Hillsborough, one of his friends told the new inquests jury.


Carol Black has quit the party exactly nine years after the UUP hailed her election to Banbridge Council as a "St Valentine's Day massacre" for the DUP. She branded UUP leader Mike Nesbitt as "arrogant" and told the Belfast Telegraph: "I don't know if he is even a unionist." For his part, Mr Nesbitt told reporters he is "relaxed" about his party's reaction to his plans, and remains committed to unionists and nationalists working together. An unholy row in a rural church in County Fermanagh is the lead story in the Irish News. The paper says a number of people "walked out" of Sunday Mass in protest after a priest accused named individuals of bullying him from the altar. It quotes Fr John Halton apologising "unreservedly" for his outburst, and asking for forgiveness from his parishioners. The Irish News also carries a fresh appeal from the family of a man murdered by loyalist paramilitary gang in a Lisburn pub 30 years ago. Bin man Paul Bradley suffered a fractured skull when he was beaten with pool cues and a broken chair in the Tavern Bar in December 1986. His brother and sister tell the paper they hope witnesses who were too frightened to come forward at the time might feel "safer" about giving evidence now. Troubles legacy cases continue to feature prominently in all the local papers, with the Daily Mirror and others reporting High Court claims that former Prime Minister Edward Heath was "involved in the decision-making process surrounding the torture" of 14 men in Northern Ireland in 1971. The 14 internees, who are known as the Hooded Men, want a a full inquiry into state involvement in the interrogation techniques used against them. The Belfast Telegraph gets Alex Best's verdict on a new documentary on her late ex-husband. The 45-year-old also dismisses claims that she ever suggested "supernatural" goings on in her 200-year-old cottage could be the ghost of George Best. The Mirror features a very unusual Valentine's Day present that came as a complete surprise to one Belfast wife. Murals of masked men are nothing new in Northern Ireland, but this one is in the shape of Holywood star Jamie Dornan, in his Fifty Shades Darker pose. The paper says it has "appeared overnight" on a shop front in Belfast's North Street.

University of Cambridge experts said global investment portfolios could see losses of up to 45%. No investor was "immune from the risks posed by climate change", they added. In a recent speech to the City, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said climate change would "threaten financial resilience". The report, Unhedgeable Risk: How Climate Change Sentiment Impacts Investment, was commissioned by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership (CISL) and the Investment Leaders Group. It focused on the short-term risks associated with how investors reacted to climate-related information, such as policy decisions to market confidence and extreme weather events. No immunity The authors said the report's findings added to previous studies that had analysed the direct, physical effects of climate change on long-term economic performance. "This new research suggests that no investor is immune from the risks posed by climate change, even in the short run," explained CISL Sustainable Economy director Dr Jake Reynolds. "It is surprisingly difficult to distinguish between risks that can be addressed by an individual investor through smart hedging strategies and ones that are systematic and require much deeper transformations in the economy to deal with," he added. "That's what this report attempts to do." The study focused on potential short-term impacts on investor sentiment/confidence that could emerge at any time, such as an extreme weather event or the outcome of the UN climate talks in Paris. The authors modelled the impacts using three scenarios: These scenarios were applied to four "typical investment portfolios" in order to understand the resilience or vulnerability of investments to climate-related shifts in market confidence. "One of the key findings (from the modelling) is that it reveals the potential for very significant, short-term financial impacts for investors whereas previously, I think, a lot of the analysis had pointed to the longer term, multi-decadal impacts," explained CISL Finance Sector director Andrew Voysey. "This is particularly timely because Mark Carey at the Bank of England has recently warned about the potentially huge losses to markets in the short term as a result of climate change. "He indentified this issue and the Bank of England then went on to note the merit in "stress testing", which is the technical name of the technique that we have deployed here." The modelling showed that shifts in climate change sentiments among investors could cause global economic growth to slow over five to 10 years. But, the authors noted: "The study found that economic growth picks up most quickly along a Two Degree (low carbon) pathway, with annual growth rates of 3.5%; not only exceeding the Baseline scenario (2.9%) but significantly exceeding the No Mitigation scenario (2.0%)."

Summary: A report has warned that investors could be hit hard amid changes in short-term market swings, triggered by climate impact concerns.

Manal al-Sharif, 32, was held for nine days in May after driving in the eastern city of Khobar. "We won't stop until the first Saudi license is issued to a woman," she told the BBC in her first interview since. Earlier this week, prosecutors in the city of Jeddah announced they were going to prosecute a woman for driving. The campaign to allow women to drive in Saudi Arabia has gained momentum in recent weeks. On 17 June, dozens of women took to their cars across the country in open defiance of the ban on driving. The campaign gained the support of prominent women around the world, including US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Manal al-Sharif's imprisonment led to Amnesty International calling for her release. She said she was surprised by the level of coverage and support she received. "I didn't know the whole world was moved." More importantly, she said, had been the reaction from women in Saudi Arabia itself. "Women tell me they are different since 21 May - the day I was arrested. It's a positive change, they believe now. [Driving] is one of our smallest rights. If we fight, we can build women who trust themselves, have belief to get the bigger rights we are fighting for." Some Saudi women say the authorities have slightly relaxed their attitudes to female drivers, merely cautioning women rather than making them sign a pledge not to do it again. Earlier this week, however, prosecutors in Jeddah - on the Red Sea coast - announced they intended to pursue a case against a 35-year-old woman driver. The woman, who has not been named, claims she had no alternative to driving as she needed to get to hospital and there was no man to take her there. Zaki Safar from the Women2Drive campaign has spoken to her and said she had told the judge who set her trial date for September that he did not understand the background to her case. Such setbacks appear not to be deterring many Saudi women from pursuing their campaign. Manal al-Sharif, one of the organisers of Women2Drive, says they have been contacted by 1,023 women who want to drive - and by 192 women from across the country who are willing to teach them. They are now looking to recruit volunteers. "Women want to drive and they are taking actual steps towards that," said Ms Sharif.

Summary: A Saudi woman whose imprisonment for driving drew global attention to the issue says she is more determined than ever to continue her campaign.


Media playback is not supported on this device Robertson pointed to the spot - allowing County to tie the game - after Alex Schalk dived in the box, with no contact from the Danish defender. Rodgers revealed the Scottish FA's head of refereeing, John Fleming, called him this week to discuss the incident. "I really respected that - he didn't have to," the Celtic boss said. "Don Robertson doesn't have to ring me or apologise to me, John Fleming did that. "All I would say to Don Robertson is make sure you apologise to Erik Sviatchenko, because it wasn't a penalty. But I'm sure he will learn from it - we've seen enough poor decisions in the Champions League over the last week or so. "We have to help referees and help them become better because mistakes happen, but in circumstances like that you have to get them right or you lose the trust of the players." Schalk accepted a two-match suspension for simulation, while Robertson will be one of the officials behind the goal for Celtic's Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers on Sunday. Rodgers, who labelled the penalty award a "horrendous" decision, has no issue with his involvement. "Do I think he should be involved in Sunday's game? Listen, we will all make mistakes but he needs to get back out on the field and as long as he doesn't make the same one as he did in the match against Ross County, then I'll be happy enough," Rodgers said. "You have to respect that you don't have the facilities up here that they have in other countries, in particular down south. They're not full-time. The guys up here, I think they're doing their very, very best to educate referees, put them out there in order to perform. So you probably don't have a massive pool of referees that you can put into a game such as this here. "Don's qualified into the Uefa panel now, so he's going to make mistakes, you always hope they're never costly, but he's got to go again. And if he's involved this weekend, then good for him."

Summary: Brendan Rodgers says referee Don Robertson should apologise to Erik Sviatchenko for awarding a penalty that cost Celtic victory over Ross County.


Deulofeu had a successful loan season at Everton in 2013-14 but spent much of the last campaign on the sidelines during a spell at Sevilla. The 21-year-old has signed a three-year deal and will move on 1 July. Everton boss Roberto Martinez believes Deulofeu can still develop into one of the game's outstanding young talents. He told Everton's website: "We are getting an even more mature player now than he was a couple of seasons ago and a player who considers Everton as home. "This is why we are incredibly excited to have him back here on a permanent basis and to encourage him to grow, develop and mature his enormous talent." Martinez forged a close relationship with the player during their season together and Deulofeu believes his countryman can revive his career. He has turned down other more lucrative offers to return to Merseyside. Personal terms have been agreed and it is believed Barcelona will insert a buy-back option into the deal for some future point should he develop as they once hoped. Deulofeu will become Everton's second signing of the summer after England midfield man Tom Cleverley joined on a free transfer from Manchester United following a successful loan spell at Aston Villa. Martinez said he was "really pleased" to complete the signings early in the transfer window. He added: "It was always our intention to work extremely hard behind the scenes to get some really good business done early on during the transfer window."

Summary: Everton have re-signed Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu on a permanent basis after agreeing a £4.3m deal for the one-cap Spain international.


The company has been criticised for its treatment of the family of Christi and Bobby Shepherd, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2006. Harriet Green, the firm's former chief executive, said she will donate a third of her shares to charity. An inquest ruled the pair were unlawfully killed. The children, from Horbury, near Wakefield, were on holiday with their father, Neil Shepherd and his now wife, Ruth, when they were poisoned by a faulty gas boiler at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel. Ms Green said reports that she refused to meet Christi and Bobby's parents to apologise were false. She also said claims she had started the process to seek damages over the incident for Thomas Cook were also false. Ms Green is due to receive seven million Thomas Cook shares, currently worth around £10m. She said: "I have now reached out to the parents of Bobby and Christi Shepherd. "On the basis that Thomas Cook are due to give me seven million shares in July, I have told the parents that I will donate one third of that seven million to a charity of their choice." In 2010 three people, including the manager of the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel and two members of staff, were found guilty of manslaughter by negligence and sentenced to seven years in prison. Eight other people were cleared, including two Thomas Cook travel reps. The inquest heard the faulty boiler had been housed in an outbuilding attached to the side of the bungalow where the family had been staying. The children's mother Sharon Wood and their father Mr Shepherd had previously criticised the tour firm for not apologising to them directly during the two-week hearing in Wakefield earlier this month. After the inquest, the company's chief executive Peter Fankhauser said it had not handled its relationship with the family well. He said: "During the past nine years, we failed to show the compassion that we should have shown to the family." Last week, the firm revealed it had donated £1.5m to the children's charity Unicef. The money was the remainder after legal costs of a £3m damages settlement from the Greek hotel.

Summary: The ex-boss of Thomas Cook is to donate part of her share payout to a charity chosen by the parents of two children who died on holiday in Corfu.


The Swiss, playing his first match in two months, won the first set but succumbed to the German in the second-set tie-break having had match point. "It's always special to play a close friend like Roger on grass, always lots of emotion," said the world 302. "I saved a match point so was able to play more freely after that." He added: "I even shocked myself." It was Haas' fourth victory in 17 meetings against the former world number one. The 35-year-old, who has started his build-up to Wimbledon, had not played since winning the Miami Open against Rafael Nadal in April and missed the entire clay court season. It was only the world number five's second defeat of the 2017 season.

Summary: Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer was beaten 2-6 7-6 (10-8) 6-4 by 39-year-old Tommy Haas on grass at the Stuttgart Open.


Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal were 4-0 down but took the game to extra-time, with a Theo Walcott hat-trick and two Marouane Chamakh goals helping them into the last eight. "We went from disaster to rescuing some pride," Wenger said. "You cannot play for Arsenal and give up." Reading boss Brian McDermott said the defeat was the "worst" of his career. Arsenal found themselves 4-0 down after 35 minutes but Walcott made it 4-1 just before half-time to set up the platform for an incredible second-half revival that took the game into extra time. Chamakh put Arsenal in front for the first time on the night with a goal in the first period of extra time, only for Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak to make it 5-5. But Walcott restored Arsenal's lead before Chamakh scored their seventh. "It was 4-0 and could have been one or two more," Wenger added. "We came back but at 89 minutes it was still 4-2. Then the miracle happened. There were so many turning points. Our first goal before half-time was important. It's my first 7-5. It was a tennis score." Wenger said he knew the pain of relinquishing a four-goal advantage, having drawn 4-4 with Newcastle after being 4-0 up in February 2011. He explained that his team had drawn inspiration from their supporters. He said: "I know how it feels to lose a 4-0 lead - it happened to me at Newcastle. I always hoped we could come back. It's strange to explain. At 4-0 you think you have won the game, but at 4-2 the panic starts to set in. "At 4-0 I didn't feel great, I started to think about half-time. Inspiration was not difficult. I just felt sorry for the fans, they stuck with us. A big part stayed and supported us and I give them credit. I give the ones who left less credit. Premier League, Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal, 5 February, 2011 Arsenal led 3-0 inside 10 minutes at St James' Park and 4-0 at half-time but were pegged back with Cheick Tiote's stunning late volley capping the comeback. Champions League final, Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan, 25 May, 2005 Liverpool were down and out after going into half-time 3-0 down but scored three times in six minutes to turn the game on its head. FA Cup fourth round, Tottenham 3-4 Manchester City, 4 February, 2004. Spurs were 3-0 ahead at half-time before Joey Barton was sent off. But somehow City fought back and Jon Macken scored a dramatic late winner. Premier League, Tottenham 3-5 Manchester United, 29 September 2001. Again Spurs went in at half-time 3-0 ahead but were ripped apart in the second half by a breathtaking United performance. FA Cup final, Blackpool 4-3 Bolton, Wembley, 2 May, 1953. Bolton had led 3-1 and, were still leading with three minutes to go until Stan Mortensen and Bill Perry struck. "This was maybe my greatest comeback. [The League Cup] is not my priority but had we gone out like we could have gone out it would not

Last week, Marriott appeared to have outbid Anbang with a $13.6bn offer that gained support from Starwood's board. In a statement, Starwood's board said the new offer was likely to lead to a "superior proposal". The board, though, has not changed its recommendation in favour of a merger with Marriott. Starwood owns several hotel brands, including Sheraton, Westin and St Regis. Under the terms of its agreement with Marriott, Starwood's board can discuss and provide information to bidders that make superior bids. But under its latest merger agreement with Marriott, Starwood would have to pay a breakup fee to Marriott of $450m if it decided to accept another offer. Anbang, whose consortium includes private equity firms JC Flowers & Co and Primavera Capital, has been making a push into the US market over the last several year. It bought the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York in 2014. Starwood shares rose 2% on Monday to $83.75 on the higher Anbang offer.

Summary: Chinese insurance firm Anbang has raised its offer for Starwood Hotels to $14bn (£9.8bn), extending a bidding war with Marriott for the group.


Welcoming the 163 refugees, new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country was "showing the world how to open our hearts". The newly elected Liberal government has pledged to take in 25,000 refugees by the end of February. Canada's stance on the issue differs sharply to that of the US, which has been reluctant to take in migrants. Another plane is due in Montreal on Saturday. Immigration Minister John McCallum said all 10 provinces in Canada are in favour of accepting the refugees. "This is a great moment for Canada," he said. "This shows the way we really are. It truly is a non-partisan, national project." Since early November, hundreds of Syrians have already arrived in Canada via commercial aircraft. A total of about 300 Syrians will arrive this week. The Toronto Star, the country's largest-circulation daily newspaper, ran a cover story on Thursday welcoming the refugees. The US administration has said it will take in 10,000 refugees over the next year. Some Republican governors have unsuccessfully tried to keep them from coming to their states after deadly terrorist attacks in France and California. Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said after the California attacks that all Muslims should be blocked from coming to the US, drawing condemnation across the globe. Global News reporter Mike Armstrong has been taking photos of refugees at Canada's refugee processing centre in Amman, Jordan. Some families have been told they may move in weeks, he tweeted. About 800 refugees are going through screening tests in Lebanon and Jordan daily, Mr McCallum said. Mr Trudeau, who swept the 19 October Canadian elections, has a different stance on refugees from that of his predecessor, the conservative Stephen Harper, who did not wish to resettle more people. Unaccompanied men will be excluded from the resettlement programme but officials said this had nothing to do with national security concerns. "We want them to have a roof over their head, and the right support," said Mr McCallum. "It takes a bit of time to put that all in place. We're happy to take a little more time than originally planned to bring our new friends into the country." Those who will be considered refugees include families, women deemed to be at risk, and gay men and women.

Summary: The first military plane carrying Syrian refugees to be resettled in Canada has arrived in the country.


The 22-year-old, who won the English Amateur Championship last summer, had previously said she would stay amateur. Giles. who is the first golfer to win all three major English women's amateur titles, has applied for the Access Series of the European Ladies Tour. "This season just gone I achieved everything I wanted to achieve in the amateur game, so I'm ready to take on the pro game now," she said. "I'm hoping to eventually end up in America on the LPGA tour, that's where everyone really aims to get to, that's where the best competition is, that's where the best golf courses are and it would be a really awesome experience to go out there." Giles says she is inspired by Charley Hull, who like Giles had an impressive amateur career before turning professional at the age of 16. "I'd love to play in the Solheim Cup one day, that would be the aim," she added to BBC Radio Cornwall. "That's what Charley Hull's done in the last few years, she was an amateur playing in the same stuff I was playing in and now she's doing really well in America and played two Solheim Cups."

Summary: Cornwall golfer Sammie Giles says she is planning to turn professional.


American Salazar, who coaches Farah in the United States, denies allegations made in a BBC investigation that he has practised doping techniques. Britain's Farah, 32, has been advised to distance himself from Salazar and his US-based Nike Oregon Project (NOP). There is no suggestion that Farah himself has been involved in doping. A BBC Panorama investigation alleged Salazar, who became Farah's coach in 2011, violated anti-doping rules and doped US runner Galen Rupp in 2002 when the athlete was 16 years old. "I will document and present the facts as quickly as I can so that Galen and Mo can focus on doing what they love and have worked so hard to achieve," Salazar told The Guardian in a statement. Media playback is not supported on this device "I have said all along that I believe in a clean sport, hard work and I deny all allegations of doping." Rupp, who was second to Farah in the 10,000m at the 2012 Olympics and holds the US 10,000m record, also denies allegations of wrongdoing. British Olympic Association chairman Lord Coe, who is running for the role of president of the International Association of Athletics Federations, has defended the reputation of Salazar and believes he will mount a "robust" defence. UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner confirmed the governing body would scour Farah's records to ensure their star distance runner is clean but said the process will take "weeks rather than months" to complete. The US Anti-Doping Agency has not confirmed whether it is investigating the claims against Salazar, but the World Anti-Doping Agency president, Sir Craig Reedie, has said the situation should be investigated. Salazar, Rupp and Farah's agent, Ricky Simms, were made aware of the BBC's allegations a month ago. Meanwhile, a former coach with the NOP has told Runners World he is "not surprised" by the allegations of misuse of prescription drugs. John Cook, who was recruited by Salazar in 2003 but left the NOP in 2005, said it was easy to get a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for something like an inhaler. "If I take you and run your ass up and down the stairs five or six or seven times, then take you into the doctor, you're going to be asthmatic and fail the test and you're going to be allowed to take an inhaler," he said. "Don't get me wrong, some of these drugs make life better for certain groups. But if you're a healthy person, why the hell would you need an inhaler? I was somewhat concerned about that." He also derided the effectiveness of current drug-testing programmes. "I think it's pretty obvious that drug-testing can be circumvented in pretty much every corner," said the 73-year-old American. Cook also said his view of athletics had been tainted by what he knows and has seen. "I follow the sport without particularly much fervour or excitement because I know too much," he said. "When I was naïve, I liked it a lot more. I've been turned off pretty much."

Summary: Mo Farah's coach Alberto Salazar says he will show his accusers are "knowingly making false statements" as he continues to deny doping claims.


The PM said he had rejected Â£8bn in child benefit cuts the Lib Dems claimed the Tories had proposed in government. Ed Miliband said Labour did not overspend when in power and that he would not lead a government if it involved a deal with the SNP. Nick Clegg was grilled over tuition fees, trust and coalition deals. While insisting they could both win outright, the Conservative and Labour leaders gave the clearest indications to date of the terms of possible post-election deals, with Mr Cameron saying his pledge of an EU referendum in 2017 would be a "red line" in any negotiations. Three other leaders also faced audience questions: The prime minister was first in the firing line at Leeds Town Hall. Mr Cameron said he did not want to cut child benefit or child tax credits if he won the election, but that it was possible to save more from the welfare budget. Asked if this amounted to an "absolute guarantee," he said child tax credit "would not fall" and child benefit was "one of the most important benefits there is" and did not need to change. Brandishing the note left in 2010 by outgoing Labour Treasury Secretary Liam Byrne, stating there was "no money left", Mr Cameron said: "It takes a long time to fix the mess that I was left." "We are half way through a building job," the PM added. Asked if his vow to pass laws preventing tax rises was an admission he usually lied, Mr Cameron said he wanted to put the policy "beyond doubt". He said he had not agreed to a head-to-head debate with Mr Miliband because: "This, giving you the chance to answer questions directly, this is more powerful than a televised debate." Mr Cameron was then asked why people did not trust the Conservatives on the NHS, replying that improving the health service was "my life's work" but only possible with a strong economy. He refused to speculate on what might happen in the event of a hung Parliament, saying he did not want to do a deal in a "darkened room with Nick Clegg", but said an in/out referendum on the EU would be a "red line" in any coalition negotiations. The Labour leader said nothing he has not said repeatedly before - explaining his view that the deficit resulted from the financial crash and not from over spending by the last Labour government. He gave no new hostages to fortune but it was, nevertheless, the toughest ride he's faced in this campaign. With David Cameron looking confident the Tories and the Tory press will claim that this was the night the election turned. But - and it is a big but - the prime minister's performance relied on either ignoring or dodging the hostile questioning he faced about welfare cuts, the bedroom tax, food banks and the morality of his policies. Read more from Nick Read Carole Walker's leader-by-leader analysis. Ed Miliband faced tough questions, with one man accusing the Labour leader of lying and telling him it was

Summary: David Cameron and Ed Miliband have faced tough questions from a Question Time audience over their economic plans in the final TV event of the campaign.


The video clearly shows the car number plate, but it was a hire vehicle and Nottinghamshire Police said it cannot prove who was driving. Instead, a man who was eligible to drive the car has been fined Â£150 for failing to provide driver details. In a statement, the force said it was "disappointed" with the outcome. The incident happened on 15 November 2014 but the victim has now posted the video online to highlight what he feels is a lack of justice. "At the time there was an ongoing criminal investigation and I didn't want any footage that I released online to hamper that investigation," he said. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire "It's left me feeling surprised at the injustice and the ability for criminals to get away with crimes so easily, especially those perpetrated against cyclists, and it's left the wider cycling community feeling totally betrayed. "It would never put me off cycling but it has made me very annoyed at the fact that cyclists are being let down time and time again when it comes to justice." He said he needed four months to recover from his injuries, with a further month of physiotherapy, having suffered a severe back injury and internal haemorrhaging. The video shows the Volvo being driven behind the cyclist around a roundabout in Nottingham city centre. The car follows the cyclist from a distance, but then suddenly accelerates and shunts the bicycle. The camera falls to the ground and the cyclist can be heard groaning and breathing heavily. Nottinghamshire Police said it had investigated the incident thoroughly. "While we share the victim's disappointment at the outcome, we feel the investigating police officer made every effort to ensure that the occupants of the car were found and brought before the courts," the force said in a statement.

Summary: Police say there is not enough evidence to prosecute a hit-and-run driver who accelerated into a cyclist - despite the incident being captured on video.


Tennyson, 22, will challenge Walsh for his belt at the Copper Box Arena. Known as 'The Assassin' he has a 16-1 record with 13 knockouts since turning pro in September 2012 and joined Warren's stable on Monday. "It's massive, I feel this move could bring my career to the next level," Tennyson said. "Beyond British title fights, I believe Frank Warren can bring me bigger and better titles in the future." Tennyson is the mandatory challenger to Walsh after dispatching Antonio Horvatic inside a round in Belfast last month. His British featherweight title fight is on the undercard of Billy Joe Saunders' first WBO middleweight world title defence against Ukraine's Max Bursak. "I'm not expecting to go in and blow Ryan Walsh out of the water because he's a good fighter, and he's the British champion for a reason," said Tennyson. "I'm going to go in and get the job done regardless, but I'm training for 12 rounds."

Summary: Belfast featherweight James Tennyson will fight Ryan Walsh for the British title in London on 30 April after signing with promoter Frank Warren.


The steps to Petit Port Bay were shut in May after damage caused by heavy rainfall during storms. An inspection by engineering consultants Frederick Sherrell Ltd will start on Monday and is due to end on 27 March. The department said if no further work was needed the steps should be re-opened for the Easter holiday. Four parking spaces will be suspended in the Petit Port car park for the duration of the works. The bay was previously closed between 2001 and 2005, after a series of landslides made the area too dangerous to access. It was only reopened after new concrete steps, handrails and fencing to contain rockfalls were installed.

Summary: Steps at a bay in Guernsey could be opened by Easter, according to the environment department.


Brathwaite, 22, had only one Test wicket and three first-class scalps to his name before this game, but captured 6-29 with his part-time off-spin. That helped bowl Sri Lanka out for 206, setting West Indies 244 to win. Brathwaite was then lbw for three with the tourists 20-1 when rain ended play. The Bajan right-hander had only bowled in six of his previous 23 Tests since his debut in 2011, taking a solitary wicket against India in Kolkata for an overall Test bowling average of 137. His previous first-class bowling figures were equally forgettable, with three wickets at an average of 67 in 81 games. But after he came on with Sri Lanka 146-4 to share the spin workload with Devendra Bishoo and debutant Jomel Warrican, Brathwaite took the last six wickets including home skipper Angelo Mathews, who was ninth out for 46. With rain preventing any play after tea, Sri Lanka lead the two-Test series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Galle by an innings.

Summary: West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite achieved the best Test bowling figures by an opening batsman for more than half a century on day three of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.


The defending champions have been criticised in recent times for a series of uninspiring displays. Victory at Hearts on Saturday will seal a fifth straight title, should Aberdeen fail to secure maximum points. "The players know there is a good game coming up and of course we want to do it tomorrow," said Deila. "We are in a great position. We know it is going to be a great atmosphere and nothing would please me more than to do it tomorrow." Celtic enjoy a nine-point lead over Aberdeen with four matches remaining and also have a vastly superior goal difference. However, Hearts, in third place, have made life difficult for Celtic this season, earning two draws in the league. "If we win, it's essentially over," added Deila, who will leave at the end of the season. "Training has shown a lot of energy and now everything is about winning the games that are left. "It's so important to be together now and see what we can achieve. "Five-in-a-row is fantastic and it's something to build on. Hopefully, tomorrow we can start and the club can get to 10-in-a-row. "It's always emotional when you achieve something. The road to it is fun, but getting over the line is emotional for everybody." When the possibility of him returning to Scandinavia to manage one of their top teams and then meeting Celtic in European competition was put to Deila, he joked: "It could be Real Madrid as well, you never know, we will see. "If I came back here with another team it would be fun. But that is not in my mind right now."

Summary: Manager Ronny Deila says he expects the lure of securing the Premiership title this weekend will help raise the performance of his Celtic players.


James Lang's penalty with four seconds remaining sealed victory after Ross and James Chisholm crossed for tries to help level the scores 27-27 following Richard Hibbard's sin-binning. Gloucester scored 17 unanswered second-half points, fighting back from 15-10 down to build the game's biggest lead. Hibbard's yellow, however, was costly. Moments after the hooker was sin-binned for a penalty at the scrum, James Chisholm went over to give the Londoners renewed hope of taking something from the game against their fellow top-six hopefuls. A slick passing move, which involved Marland Yarde and Alofa Alofa, put the older of the Chisholm brothers, Ross, over in the 75th minute. And while 21-year-old fly-half Lang was off target with his conversion attempt, a penalty at the scrum with moments remaining allowed him a shot from right in front to win it. It was an enthralling finish to a match which started with Charlie Sharples going over for the hosts, only for Gloucester to be punished for failing to make more of their strong start, as Tim Visser touched down on his return from Scotland duty and Charlie Mulchrone helped edge Quins ahead before the break. Billy Burns landed his third kick of the game to convert David Halaifonua's try and restore the hosts' lead after half-time, with Sharples grabbing his second try of the game as Gloucester quickly built a comfortable lead. The one-man advantage was ruthlessly exploited late on as Quins move to within two points of Northampton in sixth, while a losing bonus point leaves Gloucester ninth in the table and eight points adrift of a European Champions Cup spot. Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys: "It's a sense of frustration, anger and disappointment after those last six or seven minutes of madness. "We led by two scores and had to get the basics right but our defence and set-piece went to pieces after we had controlled the second half. "European qualification is still mathematically possible but we had to get four or five points today and we didn't so it's a massive blow for the squad, especially after a great win over Saracens in our last home game." Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston: "At the end of the first half we led 15-10, but we were much the better side and should have been further in front. They then had a good period but we came back strongly and deserved to win. "We knew we had to control the environment today as the influence of the crowd is very important here. I thought we managed to do so, for which the leaders in our team must take great credit. "We've kept our European Cup hopes alive as finishing sixth or maybe seventh will be enough to secure us a spot for next season." Gloucester: Marshall; Sharples, Scott, Twelvetrees, Halaifonua; Burns, Heinz (capt.); Thomas. Hibbard, Afoa, Galarza, Thrush, Ludlow, Rowan, Morgan. Replacements: Matu'u, Hohneck, Doran-Jones, Savage, Kalamafoni, Braley, Hook, Trinder. Harlequins: R. Chisholm; Yarde, Marchant, Hopper, Visser; Swiel, Mulchrone; Lambert, Gray, Sinckler, Merrick, Matthews, J. Chisholm, Ward (capt.), Luamanu. Replacements: Buchanan, Owens, Shields,

Summary: Harlequins scored 15 points in the final eight minutes against 14-man Gloucester to clinch a dramatic victory at Kingsholm.


Ms Coyle said it would be "daft" for the show to be a "perfect replica" of the real world. But she added it was "important to ask whether the BBC can do more in its popular output to provide an authentic portrayal of life in modern Britain". The population of EastEnders was also younger than in real life, she said. Ms Coyle is in the running to be head of the BBC Trust after Lord Patten stepped down due to ill health. The BBC's audience council in England compared the population of Walthamstow in east London with Walford, the fictional home of EastEnders. The figures suggested there were nearly twice as many white people living in Walford - E20 - as in real life E17, while the population of EastEnders tends to be younger than their real-life counterparts and more likely to have been born in the UK. It is not the first time that Black, Asian and minority ethnic representation (BAME) in EastEnders has been called into question. The soap's former boss, John Yorke, said EastEnders "may be significantly white compared with the real East End" back in May 2011. At the time, he added that it was "considerably more multicultural than it was even five years ago and is easily the most multicultural show on telly now". The BBC responded to Ms Coyle's comments by saying: "We agree with the trust that EastEnders has one of the most diverse casts on British television and that it would be daft to suggest that the programme needs to be a perfect replica of a particular postcode. "As announced by [director general] Tony Hall last week, the BBC has plans to lead the industry on diversity, both on and off screen." Ms Coyle also asked for improvements in BBC One's output across the board. Speaking at the London School of Economics, she said that according to BBC research, BBC One, the home of EastEnders, "plays it too safe in parts of its peak-time schedule". "BBC One is greatly appreciated. But it can sometimes feel too predictable. Its viewers expect still more from it," she added. The BBC said that the channel reaches 76% of the population, or 44 million people each week. "These audiences are clearly finding a huge amount that informs, educates and entertains them," it said. "We continually strive to deliver new and original programmes and it has been our consistent ability to do this over the years which has made BBC One Britain's most-watched and loved channel." The BBC Trust will set out in more detail what it would like the corporation to do next month. Ms Coyle also said it was a priority for the BBC to increase the number of women on air. Her comments follow the BBC's announcement last week to have greater BAME representation on and off air. The BBC will put Â£2.1m into a fund intended to help BAME talent, on and off screen, to develop new programmes. BBC targets call for about one in six people (15%) on-air to be from BAME backgrounds within

Summary: BBC soap EastEnders is "almost twice" as white as the real east London, Diane Coyle, the acting head of the BBC Trust, said in a speech in on Monday.


With the windows down, I sang along to cheesy Mediterranean songs on the radio, watching the scenery flash by. But I was there to make a documentary about Europe dancing to a worrying tune - popular discontent, fear, anger and, in many corners, an absence of hope. There is always a section in society that feels abandoned or ignored by their government, but after the 2008 crash, the bank bailouts, the migrant crises and a string of terror attacks, a growing number of Europeans have felt unprotected, exposed and worried for the future of their families. And the answer to their fears? Well if my Fiat 500 were Europe - bear with me on this one - it would be hesitating at a crossroads. The signpost pointing one way reads Angela Merkel. And in the opposite direction, Marine Le Pen. These two determined women, tough and seasoned politicians, both standing for election this year, hope to drag their own countries and Europe as a whole down dramatically different paths. A passionate European and Christian Democrat, mindful of the horrors of her country's Nazi and Cold War past, Ms Merkel is increasingly viewed as the continent's number one defender of liberal values. Barack Obama pointedly chose to visit her in Berlin on his last official trip abroad before handing over the presidency to Donald Trump. Ms Le Pen, on the other hand, is the poster child of Europe's new wave of populism. She demands what she described to me in an interview as a "new world order". A new France, a new Europe, free, she says, of the "prison" of the European Union and the "artificial" joining of European nations. She laughed at those wringing their hands on both sides of the Atlantic over the Trump Presidency. Brexit, Trump and Europe's new "patriotic leaders" in Ms Le Pen's words, are merely the end of one world and the start of a new one where, in her opinion, the people and the nation state are strong and don't answer to what she called "Globalisationists". Gone are the days in the not so distant past when national elections met a wall of public indifference - 2017 has been dubbed 'Election Year' in Europe, with key EU nations Germany, France, the Netherlands and possibly Italy heading to the polls. With populist parties standing strong, those for and against them feel motivated to vote. And not just with their pockets in mind. The famous campaign slogan, "it's the economy, stupid", associated with Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential bid, is no longer pertinent. Look at the Netherlands - holding an election next month. The economy there is on the up and unemployment is down. But rather than flocking around their centrist prime minister, voters are flirting with anti-immigration, Eurosceptic populist, Geert Wilders. Wherever you look at the moment in Europe - north, south, east and west - there are populist parties shouting loudly from the sidelines. The Five Star Movement is Italy's most talked-about political party right now. They listen to people, they say, not Big Business, and

Spurs had struggled to break down a disciplined Palace side for much of the game and it looked like they would have to settle for a point. But Eriksen fired into the bottom corner from 30 yards late on to keep Spurs within four points of Chelsea with five games remaining. Palace, who lost influential defender Mamadou Sakho to injury in the second half, rarely threatened as they concentrated on frustrating the visitors. The win means Tottenham move on to 74 points, surpassing their previous best ever Premier League total of 72 - set in 2012-13 - when they finished fifth. If they beat rivals Arsenal on Sunday it will ensure they finish above the Gunners in the table for the first time since the 1994-95 season. Palace, meanwhile, remain 12th - seven points above the relegation zone. Relive Tottenham's win at Crystal Palace Tottenham needed victory to not just stay in touch with Chelsea but also put behind them the FA Cup semi-final defeat to the Blues on Saturday. Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had been adamant that the 4-2 loss at Wembley would not hurt his players mentally in the title pursuit but that assessment initially looked incorrect as they struggled against a well-drilled Palace. Eriksen, so often the centre of everything good Tottenham did against Chelsea, was kept quiet while Dele Alli and Harry Kane struggled to provide a spark in attack as the visitors finished the first half with just one shot on target. Pochettino brought on Son Heung-min and Moussa Sissoko for the second half and changed to a back four in an effort to find a breakthrough. As time went on it looked more and more likely that victory would elude them but to their credit they stayed patient before a moment of magic from Eriksen finally unlocked the Palace defence. The forward took full advantage of a moment when he was afforded a rare bit of space, shooting from distance beyond the reach of Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey. It was not a classic performance by a Tottenham side that has scored at least three goals in each of their last three Premier League games but it was one that showed they have the ability to dig in and grind out a result - a side of their game that could prove crucial in the title run in. Media playback is not supported on this device It could have been a different game if Tottenham lost Victor Wanyama to a second booking in the first half. After picking up an early yellow card for a bad foul, the midfielder slid in late on Andros Townsend. Referee Jon Moss took Wanyama to one side, but let him off with a warning. Pochettino opted to withdraw Wanyama at half time, but Palace boss Sam Allardyce felt he should never have had the option to do that in the first place. "Jon Moss should have sent him off," said Allardyce. "The second challenge was probably more of a booking than the first one. "It is disappointing for us, it is

Summary: Tottenham kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea as Christian Eriksen's superb long-range strike secured a hard-fought victory at Crystal Palace.


Police said it happened near a garden centre at Rogers Farm on the A24 near Findon, West Sussex. The 79-year-old victim died at the scene, at about 20:40 BST on Thursday. A murder investigation is under way. The suspect, described as a tall, skinny, white man in his 30s, is thought to have been driving the car in front of the man who was stabbed. The attacker is said to have shoulder-length, wavy brown hair and was thought to be driving a pale "old-style" car. It is believed the victim was travelling alone and that he was stabbed more than once. Det Ch Insp Karen Mizzi said: "Officers have been urgently making inquiries overnight to trace the suspect. "We need to hear from witnesses who saw the collision, the suspect or the car involved, particularly if anyone filmed the incident or saw anyone filming it." Laura Muchmore, 21, who works in the garden centre close to the scene of the stabbing, said: "It's especially shocking that the victim was an old man. "Findon is a really lovely little village. It's so picturesque and it's not known for this type of crime." Edmund King, president of the AA, described it as a "horrific and tragic incident". He said: "Thankfully, such brutal 'road rage' attacks are generally a rare occurrence on our highways. "It appears that some drivers do react differently when they are behind the wheel than they would if they were walking down the street. "They almost feel that the car empowers them but in reality it does not."

Summary: A manhunt is under way for a driver who stabbed another motorist to death after a collision between their two cars.


The spacecraft, which takes visible and infrared pictures of the Earth, was launched in June and is now undergoing a period of commissioning. The observer is the second dedicated mission to fly in the European Union's Copernicus programme. This will see a multi-billion-euro series of satellite sensors put in orbit over the next few years. Sentinel-2a, however, will be the system's backbone, producing a wide range of imaging products that will focus predominantly on the planet's land surface. The European Space Agency, which led the development of the platform, released a taster on Monday of what to expect. These views ranged from cities and forests to glaciers and coral reefs. "They are stunning," said mission manager Bianca Hoersch. "Okay, we still have some calibration work to do, on co-registration between visible and shortwave infrared bands, but I think you can see just from this release that the quality is going to be really excellent." Sentinel-2a is the European equivalent of America's Landsat mission, which has been imaging the surface of the Earth for 40 years. The US satellite's data is free and open, which has driven a multitude of applications. Most people will probably know it best from the map tools they use on their computers and smartphones. These all incorporate Landsat pictures. Sentinel's data has been designed to be complementary, but the platform also represents a big jump in capability. Its imaging instrument will be sensitive across more bands of light (13 versus Landsat's eight), allowing it to discern more information about the land beneath it; and Sentinel-2a will "carpet map" a much wider strip of ground (290km versus 185km). In addition, its colour images have a best resolution of 10m, versus Landsat's 30m. Given that today, non-specialist use of Earth imagery overwhelmingly relies on Landsat data, it is more than probable that Sentinel products will be in big demand. The European Commission will be using Sentinel pictures in its Copernicus programme to run variety of services, reaching across agriculture and forestry, urban planning and disaster mitigation. Agriculture, though, is certain to be a big user. The satellite's camera sensor has been designed to detect very specific wavelengths of light that detail the health of plants. In normal operation, Sentinel-2a will be producing 1.7 terabytes of processed data per day. And this will double when the sister satellite, Sentinel-2b, is launched next year. "The data volume is incredible," Dr Hoersch told BBC News. "Of course, we all knew it would be like this, but when you sit there with your computer and try to download it, it's massive - gigabytes of data. I had to go out at the weekend and buy a hard disk to store all these products for my presentations." Esa will launch Sentinel-3a at the end of 2015. This satellite is dedicated to observing the oceans. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

Summary: Europe's Sentinel-2a satellite is on course to go into full operation in early or mid-October.


The woman, 20, of Brecon, Powys, admitted neglect of the 15-month old while she went out at Christmas. Neighbours raised the alarm when they heard cries, Merthyr Crown Court heard. Judge John Curran said: "You may have gone back to the house on occasions but the fact is you neglected her for a very long time." The court heard how the woman left the girl in the cot and would go home every day to give the baby breakfast cereal and a microwave meal before going back to a friend's flat to continue partying. Prosecutor Michael Hammett said that police officers alerted by neighbours found the house to be cold and dark, and with all its rooms in a mess. "The house was in a state of disarray with rubbish, dirty clothes, empty wine bottles, beer cans and dirty nappies strewn over the floors," he said. "One of the officers went into the bedroom and found the little girl subdued in her crib. "There was no heating on in the house and she was partly covered by a blanket." Mr Hammett said the officers took the girl to the nearby police station to be cleaned up and fed. "When they gave her food and drink she grabbed them as if she had been starved," she said. The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told police she had been back to the house on four occasions to feed the child but then left her home alone again. When police entered the mother's home in Brecon, Powys, the girl had been on her own for more than 24 hours, the court heard. She was examined by a doctor and found to have severe nappy rash which was bleeding. The single mother admitted neglect and wept as she was jailed for 15 months. Geraint Jones, defending, said: "The mum hopes to rebuild her relationship with her little girl very slowly when she leaves prison." Passing sentence, Judge John Curran said: "You may have gone back to the house on occasions but the fact is you neglected her for a very long time. "Your daughter was left in the dark and cold, she was hungry and thirsty and had not been changed for days." Andrew Flanagan, chief executive of the NSPCC, said: "It's extremely depressing that a mother could leave a baby alone, in a cold house, with no food or water for such long periods. "But sadly child neglect is an all too common occurrence with around 21,000 children currently on a the child protection register in Britain for this very reason." He said thankfully the neighbours raised the alarm, which showed the need for vigilance. "The message to anyone worried about a child is clear: don't wait until you're certain - call the NSPCC or social services without delay," he added. Des Mannion, NSPCC National Head of Service for Wales, added: "Last year 1265 children in Wales were subject to a child protection plan because they were at risk of harm from neglect and it has been the top reason why children

Summary: A mother has been jailed for 15 months for leaving her baby daughter at home alone every day for a week while she went out drinking.


Investigations by The Daily Telegraph newspaper have revealed several cases of alleged fraud in football. Coleman says he has never taken or been offered a 'bung' and believes the sport's governing bodies should operate a zero tolerance policy on corruption. "If anyone is caught then they should be removed from the game permanently and that's it, good night," he said. He continued: "It's sad, but I have zero respect for anyone caught. "If you earn £50,000 a year, that's a good salary to the man in the street. If you're earning £50,000 a week then why are you after more? It's just greed. "Unfortunately we are all tarnished with the same brush. We are all involved in an industry where there is corruption from the very top. "But what are we going to do about it if someone is caught? Will it just be a rap of the knuckles or will they be banished? "If there is evidence against someone and they are found guilty then get rid of them from the game and they should never be allowed back." Barnsley suspended assistant manager Tommy Wright after he was named in a Daily Telegraph investigation in which he was filmed apparently being given an envelope of money in return for allegedly helping Barnsley to sign players from a fake Far East Firm. Sam Allardyce lasted only 67 days as England manager before leaving in disgrace after the same newspaper said he advised undercover reporters posing as businessmen how to "get around" transfer rules. Coleman says he has sympathy for Allardyce. "I'm really disappointed for Sam. I was with him last week at a coaches' conference in Paris and I know he will be absolutely devastated," Coleman added. "I've known Sam for a long time and I know how much he wanted the job and how proud he was to get it. So I'm gutted for him that he has lost it through events off the pitch rather than on it. "He has made a mistake and admitted that. It's a shame that someone of his experience let their guard down for five minutes and lost their job over it." However, Coleman made clear he has no desires to succeed Allardyce, answering unequivocally when asked if he would be interested in the position. "My answer would a big fat no," he said.

Summary: Wales manager Chris Coleman says anyone found guilty of corruption in football should be banned for life.


The club said the 25-year-old would be out for "a number of weeks". Forrester sustained the injury in the Scottish Challenge Cup final win over Peterhead on Sunday. Earlier this week, he signed a new contract to stay at Ibrox until 2019 after helping Rangers win the Championship.

The UK's largest bakery chain said like-for-like sales - which excludes new store openings - for its third quarter ending 2 October rose 0.2%. Greggs said its breakfast bacon roll was now its best-selling sandwich. It is now adding more breakfast products, including croissants and pains au chocolat. The 0.2% rise in Greggs' sales for the third quarter was down from the 0.7% growth seen in the first half of its financial year. Greggs chief executive Ken McMeikan said: "As we expected, the trading environment has been tough and is likely to remain so, with consumer spending continuing to be constrained and inflationary pressures building for next year. "We anticipate that like-for-like sales in the final quarter will be broadly flat and therefore marginally positive over the year as a whole." He added that the company was keeping a "very tight focus" on costs. Greggs currently operates 1,451 shops. It said that its expansion programme was on track, having opened a net 32 new shops in the year to date.

Summary: Strong demand for its breakfast range has helped Greggs report a small rise in sales, despite "an increasingly challenging trading environment".


The slow left-armer, who had managed only six wickets in his previous 17 Tests, helped dismiss India after tea despite the home side winning the toss. Murali Vijay top-scored with 75, while leg-spinner Imran Tahir claimed 2-23. South Africa struggled to 28-2 in the 20 overs possible before the close, with opener Elgar unbeaten on 13. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, opening the bowling, trapped Stiaan van Zyl lbw for five before Faf du Plessis - also playing no shot - was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja. Nine of the 12 wickets in the day fell to spin, with Vijay - lbw attempting to sweep Simon Harmer - part of a collapse from 102-3. "This is not a good Test pitch wicket though it's a result-oriented one," said Elgar. "We sort of expected it to play like that but we didn't expect it to crumble so early. "It was right up there with the hardest ever Test cricket I've played. Let's hope that it backfires [on India] and turns out to be a great victory for us." India's batting coach Sanjay Bangar responded: "It's a very challenging wicket where run-making is not easy. "It says 201 runs on the scoreboard but it's worth far more. But I think runs can be made on this wicket as Vijay showed. It's going to be a test of patience both for batsmen and bowlers." This Test is followed by matches in Bangalore, Nagpur and Delhi.

Summary: Part-time spinner Dean Elgar took 4-22 as South Africa bowled out India for 201 in Mohali, on the opening day of the four-Test series.


Firefighters have been tackling a major blaze at the building on the Electra Road in Campsie for more than three days. The fire has burnt out enough to allow contracts to dismantle the building, owned by River Ridge Recycling. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) is still investigating the cause of the blaze. Hundreds of tonnes of industrial waste was inside the building, and the fire service said the intensity of the fire made it difficult to deal with. Eleven appliances are at the site and the operation is expected to continue into the weekend. A NIFRS spokesman said: "Demolition has begun on site by contractors who are removing the roof and external panels of the building. "This will give firefighters better access to the seat of the fire to continue to extinguish the fire." Residents in nearby houses have been advised to keep windows and doors closed due to the smoke plume coming from the fire. "Windy conditions remain on the weather forecast and people need to be vigilant to a change in wind direction, keeping windows and doors closed," the spokesman added. Road closures near the site remain in place.

The victim was threatened with a knife and punched during the attack at Exhibition Park in the early hours. Her attacker is described as of Asian appearance, aged about 25 or 30, of thin build and wearing a grey hoodie. Northumbria Police has asked anyone who was in the Exhibition Park or Spital Tongues area at the time - about 03:00 BST - to get in touch as they might have vital information.

Summary: A man who raped a woman in a Newcastle park is being sought by police.


But there are others who would argue that the accolade belongs to Garrincha, a football genius who played 50 times for his country, but whose career was blighted by drink problems. Not surprisingly, one of his greatest fans is his only living son, Ulf Lindberg, born from a brief affair the footballer had during a tour of Sweden in 1959. He never met his father but said proudly: "There is no one like Garrincha. His playing style was and will always be unique." With his right leg pointing inwards and his left leg pointing outwards, Manuel Francisco dos Santos - Garrincha's real name - seemed more destined to end up in poverty and anonymity than in the pantheon of great footballers. But put a ball at his feet and Garrincha, which means "the little wren", demonstrated incomparable skill and is regarded by many as the greatest dribbler of all time. His biographer, Ruy Castro, described the man fans called "the angel with bent legs" as "the most amateur footballer professional football ever produced". Garrincha also had a talent for charming women and it was during a tour of Sweden with the Rio team Botafogo that he had a brief affair with Ulf's mother. She gave him up for adoption to a middle-class Swedish family when he was only nine months old. It was only at the age of seven that his adoptive parents told him that his father was Garrincha, who had 14 children through various relationships. But the meeting of father and son never happened. "I very much regret never having met him," Ulf admitted. Ulf is in Stockholm this week as a special guest at the farewell friendly game between Brazil and Sweden on Wednesday at the Rasunda, the stadium where his father played in the final of the 1958 World Cup, the first of five Brazil have won. The arena is to be knocked down and its newer replacement has already been built in the same neighbourhood. "Until today, I often find myself thinking how it would be nice to have known my father and say how much I admire him," Ulf told BBC Brasil. After a match in Gothenburg against the Russian team, the paper said he was an alien talent, asking: 'What planet is he from?' "But it was not possible. Unfortunately, he had serious problems with alcohol. If not, he could be among us celebrating the reunion with his companions from '58." In 1977, a Swedish newspaper reported that Garrincha wanted to meet his son. It was agreed that it would happen in the following year, when Ulf was expected to travel to Argentina, during the 1978 World Cup, where Garrincha was due to work as a commentator. "But the trip did not happen," Ulf said. "My father used to drink a lot and unfortunately was not well." Garrincha died on January 20, 1983. Ulf has been to Brazil three times and, during one trip for a TV documentary, discovered he would never know his mother either - she had died months earlier. Garrincha had ten

Summary: When asked to name the greatest Brazilian footballer of all time, most people will offer up the name of Pele, whose unique status gave him a starring role at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.
