It accused the leaders of the recall referendum movement of fraud. On Friday the National Electoral Council (CNE) declared more than 600,000 signatures on a petition for the referendum invalid. The opposition says the electoral authorities are biased against them. Venezuela is on the brink of economic collapse, facing high inflation and the shortage of food and basic goods. The opposition blames the Socialist policies of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, for the country's economic decline. The government says the country's economic elite, backed up by conservative forces in the United States and other countries, has been plotting to topple the government. One of Mr Maduro's closest allies, Jorge Rodriguez, has been appointed to check whether there are any irregularities in the recall referendum process. "We have found a huge fraud against the Constitution," he said, after beginning legal action at the Supreme Court. "Stop lying to the international community and stop lying to the Venezuelan people," he said. He stressed once again that it would not be possible to hold the referendum this year as the opposition wishes. On Saturday, Mr Maduro said the recall referendum would be held in 2017 if the opposition met the legal requirements. "If they don't meet the requirements, there will be no recall referendum, full stop," said Mr Maduro. Timing is essential for both sides. If the referendum is held by 10 January 2017 and President Maduro loses, a new election will be called. If it is held after that date and the vote goes against him, his vice-president takes over and remains in power until the end of the presidential term, in January 2019. The opposition handed over the petition on 2 May. It said it had gathered the signatures of 1.85 million voters backing a recall referendum, many more than the 197,000 needed at this initial stage. The CNE said on Friday there were 1.97 million signatures on the list. The voters whose signatures have not been struck off by the CNE - more than 1.3 million people - will need to turn up at regional electoral offices to confirm their identities later this month. They will have five days from 20 June to have their signatures checked, CNE President Tibisay Lucena announced on Friday. Opposition leader Henrique Capriles urged voters to get ready to go to government offices to have their identities checked so the process can reach its next stage.

Summary: Venezuela's government has asked the Supreme Court to reject the opposition's proposal to hold a referendum to remove President Nicolas Maduro from office.


Eric Ruddy, 64, and his wife Carol, 54, were found dying in their home in December. He had been stabbed and beaten, she had been strangled. Martin Ruddy, 29, stood to benefit from their savings of more than Â£80,000 as he was the sole beneficiary of their will, Newcastle Crown Court heard. He had claimed the pair were attacked by intruders who also injured him. Judge Paul Sloan QC is due to set the minimum term for Ruddy's mandatory life sentence on Friday. A jury heard that in the lead-up to the murders, Ruddy's life was running out of control and that his marriage was at breaking point. He had also got himself into Â£5,000 of debt and had fallen behind on a scheme to pay the money back. John Elvidge QC, prosecuting, said: "Martin Ruddy killed his parents and then set to cover his tracks by staging a burglary and inflicting injuries on himself with a brick and scissors." The court heard Eric Ruddy had received a number of blunt-force traumas to the back of his head and Carol Ruddy had bruising around her neck after being strangled with a length of HDMI cable. Andrea Hardy, who lived next door with her three daughters, said the walls of her terraced house were very thin and they would often hear doors closing and people walking up the stairs. But on that night in December last year, she said she heard no noises at all until Ruddy knocked on her door and said his parents had been killed by a group of attackers. Along with her partner, she followed him back to his parents' house where they tried to resuscitate the couple. But Mr Elvidge said no CCTV or scientific evidence supported the claim that the killings had been carried out by a gang of intruders. Following the attack the couple were taken to the city's Royal Victoria Infirmary, but were later pronounced dead.

Summary: A man with mounting debts has been found guilty of murdering his parents in their Newcastle home.


24 February 2015 Last updated at 14:27 GMT Animal experts say the creatures, who look like giant seals and are known as sea cows, went into the pipe seeking warmth before getting trapped. The rescue operation took the whole of Monday night. All mammals, including a mother and her baby calf were eventually pulled from the pipe and are safe and well.

Summary: More than a dozen manatees who got stuck in a pipe in Florida have been rescued by firefighters.


It seems an unlikely meeting - but it is one that Rabbi Alexander Goldberg hopes can be the start of something positive. Rabbi Goldberg, whose great grandparents and great aunt are buried in Northern Ireland, has a special connection to the place. The catalyst for this meeting, however, came from something sinister. In August, 13 Jewish graves, some dating back to 1870, were damaged in an attack at Belfast City Cemetery. The attacks were met with widespread condemnation from the community and politicians. Following the attacks, Rabbi Goldberg felt the urge to reach out to the community - in particular those who carried out the vandalism. "When I heard about the attacks in Belfast it saddened me so much, I reached out on social media," he said. "I wanted, ideally, to speak to the young people involved and to give them the names and faces, history and culture of the Jewish community in Belfast." In early October, he flew to Belfast to meet up with local Sinn F??in representatives, who were all disgusted by the attacks. "I wanted to show him our frustration and anger with what had happened to the graves," said West Belfast MP Paul Maskey. The group stood outside the Jewish cemetery: As a Cohen - a member of the Jewish hereditary priesthood - Rabbi Goldberg could not enter. "We started to speak candidly about the attack on the graves. All three told me how disgusted they were as were the people living around the cemetery," said Rabbi Goldberg. What makes the visit all the more special to Rabbi Goldberg was that his grandparents were descended from Jewish Lithuanian immigrants who had moved to Ireland in the late 1800s. His grandfather, from Cork, met and married his grandmother from Belfast. The Rabbi's father studied in Londonderry before moving to England. Rabbi Goldberg himself got married in the synagogue in Cork. But the meeting turned into an unexpectedly emotional one. Through historian Tom Hartley, Rabbi Goldberg discovered that his aunt Lesbia Smith died in 1910 at seven weeks old. At the time her parents were not wealthy enough to buy a burial plot and she was buried in the paupers' section in an unmarked grave. The daughter of persecuted migrants, she was born into poverty in the slums of Belfast and could only be buried in that section of the Jewish cemetery, where the city would not allow those buried to have gravestones. "It must have been very hard for them to bury her without one," he said. For Mr Maskey and councillor Stevie Corr, the meeting was a positive one and they are looking forward to working with Rabbi Goldberg. "We've been in touch with Belfast City Council about some potential joint initiatives with the synagogue Rabbi Goldberg is connected with. I don't know yet what form these will take but we do want to restore the graves," said Mr Maskey. Councillor Stevie Corr, who is chairing a project to renovate the Falls Cemetery, said he was keen to include the Jewish section. "Alex has offered to come over

Summary: On a bright day in October, a Rabbi met a Northern Ireland historian and two West Belfast councillors.


The wind farm, run by community company Viking Energy, would be one of the biggest in Scotland. Sustainable Shetland, a group opposed to the development, launched a judicial review. The challenge, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, has been adjourned. It is expected to resume at the end of April. Energy Minister Fergus Ewing granted consent for the scheme in April. Protesters claim the development is too big and would blight the landscape. Supporters argue it would raise money for the islands, create jobs and help meet renewable energy targets. The 370MW wind farm is aimed at powering more than 175,000 homes despite Shetland having a population of about 22,000. It is estimated the wind farm could bring about Â£30m annual income for the local community.

Summary: A legal challenge to plans to build a 103-turbine wind farm in the centre of Shetland has been adjourned.


Scientists have been getting up close and personal with white rhinos' dung heaps in South Africa, and found that they were leaving messages for other rhinos. It works because the different animals leave different chemicals in their poo, which other rhinos can smell to get clues about the rhino it came from. From those chemicals, you can work out the rhinos age, gender, whether it's looking for more territory, or is ready to mate. That's really important, because it means all the rhinos in the group know what's going on with each other so it's less likely they will fight. Researchers even got involved, by making fake poo pretending to be different rhinos. They found that dominant male rhinos acted different depending on which poo they were copying. For example, they were most interested in the fake poo which had the same chemicals as a female rhino that was ready to mate. The male sniffed it for longer, and came back to the same spot more. It's not unusual for animals to communicate through smells - that's why dogs often sniff around lamp-posts where other dogs have weed before. But rhinos are different because they use poo instead, and they leave it in the same place for all the other rhinos in their group to smell - like leaving messages on social media.

Summary: A new study says that rhinos have a smelly way to keep up with the gossip - leaving messages in poo.


It's an event that regularly sees a torrent of corporate deals, and has played a key role as a marketplace for Britain's aerospace and defence firms. It is a showcase for a sector worth Â£55bn a year, the fifth-largest industry in the UK that employs 340,000 people. Indeed, the last show in 2014 saw a record $204bn (Â£157bn) worth of orders being placed. "Farnborough is a global shop window for the UK and Europe, for the entire world," Shaun Omerod, chief executive of Farnborough International, said ahead of this year's show, which starts on Monday. "It connects UK small and medium-sized companies - who ordinarily wouldn't get this access - to the global market." If Farnborough's own connection with flying starts in 1904 with the Army Balloon Factory and the first flight of an aeroplane in the UK (by the showman Samuel Cody in 1908), then the history of today's air show actually begins in suburban London. In a bid to sell their wares the Society of British Aircraft Constructors (SBAC) organised a one-day exhibition at the annual RAF flying display at Hendon in 1932. It was small by today's standards, with just 35 aircraft on display and only 16 companies taking part; this year there will be some 1,500 exhibitors. After the Second World War the event was initially held at Radlett, moving in 1948 to Farnborough, the home of the Royal Aircraft Establishment - responsible for researching and testing experimental designs. The show has been the stage for many of the high points of post-war aviation, from the wonderful to the whimsical, such as the Saunders Roe A1 flying boat jet fighter. First flown in 1947 at the show it was an heroic but ultimately flawed attempt to marry a long-range fighter with a flying boat. The idea was it wouldn't need to land on aircraft carriers as the Allies fought Japan across the Pacific Ocean, but the end of the war put paid to any use it might have had. The 1949 show saw the truly massive Bristol Brabazon, then the world's biggest airliner. It was designed to conquer the transatlantic air routes for Britain's aircraft industry. Driven by eight propellers it was so big that its construction was delayed while the runway at Bristol's Filton factory was extended so it could take off. Yet despite its size it only carried 100 passengers, and airlines thought it too big and expensive. Only one was ever built. The same event also saw the UK introduce the world's first jet airliner - the DH Comet. The Comet's pressurised cabin meant people could travel in comfort. It was a commercial success at first, yet the design hid a serious weakness. Its square window frames contributed to metal fatigue, which led to a series of fatal crashes within a couple of years. The entire fleet was grounded for four years while the flaws were ironed out and the aircraft strengthened. Later Comet models flew well - indeed the RAF used the Nimrod, a version of the Comet, until 2011 - but they were

Summary: Farnborough: a small town in southern England; the birthplace of aviation in the UK and home for almost 70 years of arguably the world's most important air show.


The 26-year-old, who was with juniors Kelty Hearts, has signed for Edinburgh City in League Two. Thomson pleaded guilty in June 2011 to inappropriate conduct towards two underage girls over the internet. City noted his court conviction but said on Twitter they believed he deserved a second chance. "The club acknowledges Craig's previous conviction in 2011 for offences he committed in 2010 and does not condone his behaviour in any way," they said in a statement. "However, the club's board, management, playing staff and main sponsor collectively believe that Craig has completed his rehabilitation and we look forward to giving him the opportunity to return to playing in the SPFL." Thomson was loaned to Lithuanian clubs Kaunas and Suduva after being fined and placed on the sex offenders' register for five years but never played for Hearts again. After leaving Tynecastle officially in 2013, the former Scotland Under-21's potential move to Cyprus was swiftly cut short when prospective club Paphos discovered his conviction. But he has since played for East of Scotland junior sides Arniston Rangers, Newtongrange Star and Kelty, who won the Super League last season. Former Hearts manager Jim Jefferies, who is sporting director with Edinburgh City, stated the club would be making no further comment.

Summary: Former Hearts full-back Craig Thomson has returned to Scottish senior football for the first time since he was convicted of a sex offence.


In the latest incident, a man escaped with a three-figure sum after threatening two members of staff with a hammer at McColl's in West Doura Court, Kilwinning, at about 18:20 on Saturday. Police said the staff were uninjured but "extremely distressed". In December, a man robbed the same shop at knifepoint while wearing a 'Joker' mask. The suspect in the latest robbery was described as being white, 5ft 10in, with a stocky build. He was wearing dark trousers and a black hooded top featuring the "McKenzie" logo. Det Sgt Craig Semple said: "I'd like to speak to anyone who may have seen the suspect hanging around the area prior to the robbery taking place or anyone who saw him running out of the shop afterwards."

Summary: A convenience store in North Ayrshire has been robbed for the second time in five months.


Cumbernauld couple Jim and Ann McQuire and Billy and Lisa Graham from Bankfoot were among 38 people killed by a gunman with links to Islamic State extremists. Deputy First Minister John Swinney was at RAF Brize Norton for the repatriation. The UK government said 30 Britons were killed at the Sousse beach last Friday. Eight bodies were repatriated on Wednesday, with nine to follow on Thursday, including the four Scots. The Tunisian government said it had arrested 12 suspects in connection with the attack by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui, who was killed following the shooting last Friday. A national minute's silence is to be held at 12:00 on Friday, one week on from the incident, and there will be a gathering at Abronhill Church, where Mr McQuire, 67, and his wife, 64, were members. Minister Rev Joyce Keyes said they had been "overwhelmed by expressions of support". She asked for privacy at the event dedicated to the McQuires, who had only booked their holiday a fortnight before the shooting. She said: "We have been overwhelmed by expressions of support from those who loved this exceptional couple, and many more messages from those who simply shared in our grief. "Ann and Jim were a kind and gentle couple who will be sorely missed by our congregation; for their willingness to share their musical talents, for their contributions to the Boys Brigade; and for the fellowship we shared." North Lanarkshire Council has been flying flags at half-mast, and has opened several books of condolence for the victims. Perth and Kinross Council has instituted similar moves in tribute to Billy and Lisa Graham, who were in Tunisia celebrating Mrs Graham's 50th birthday, and a candlelit vigil is to be held in Bankfoot. Mr Graham worked as a turnstile operator at St Johnstone football club in Perth, and the team are to take to the field in their Europa League match wearing black armbands as a mark of respect. Club chairman Steve Brown said the 51-year-old was "a great ambassador for the club", while the couple's MSP John Swinney said there were "no words that can explain the awfulness of this act". The repatriations of all the British victims is likely to take several days. Post-mortem examinations will be carried out before the bodies are released to their families. The UK government has ruled out an inquiry into the attack, but said Scotland Yard would assist the Tunisian investigation.

Summary: The four Scottish victims of the Sousse massacre in Tunisia are among nine bodies returned to the UK on an RAF flight.


Watford, who were unable to fulfil last weekend's Women's FA Cup third-round tie at Doncaster, now say their future is secure after meetings on Monday. The Women's Super League Two club begin their Spring Series campaign on Sunday against Aston Villa Ladies. "It's been a time of much transition and change," general manager Ellie Kemp told Watford's club website. "However we believe we're now on a very firm footing with Keith leading our coaching set-up." A club statement added that Watford conceded their cup tie against the Belles "in order to ensure necessary preparations were fully in place ahead of the start of the league fixture programme". Boanas, 57, led Charlton Ladies to three successive FA Women's Cup finals, winning the trophy in 2005, before a brief spell as Millwall Lionesses boss. He also won the FA Women's Premier League Cup in 2004 and 2006 during his seven-year spell with Charlton. Watford's former head coach Katie Rowson resigned in August and, prior to Boanas' appointment, no formal replacement had been announced for a first-team boss. Watford pulled out of last Sunday's scheduled Women's FA Cup third-round tie at Doncaster Rovers Belles the day before the game, with the Yorkshire side being awarded a bye. An emergency meeting is understood to have been held on Monday between club officials from the men's and ladies' arms of the club. Prior to Boanas' appointment being announced, a Football Association spokesperson said: "We have contacted Watford about their involvement in the FA WSL Spring Series." The Lady Hornets - who were founded in 1970 - had finished seventh in WSL 2 in 2014 - the first season after the WSL was expanded to include a second tier. They have finished bottom of the second tier for the past two seasons, winning just three times in 36 league games. On 11 January, the club announced a change in their regular venue for home matches, leaving Berkhamsted FC to play at Kings Langley FC's ground, known as Gaywood Park. Kemp added: "The players will be energised and ready for the challenges that lay ahead. We want to be a really competitive team and there's no reason to believe we can't achieve that."

Summary: Former Charlton and Estonia Women's boss Keith Boanas has been appointed as the new head coach of Watford Ladies.


The probe, led by Lord MacLean, looked into care at Dunbartonshire's Vale of Leven Hospital between 2007 and 2008. Of the 143 patients with C. diff, it was a contributory factor in 34 deaths. Lord MacLean said NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) had "badly let down" patients. The health board apologised unreservedly for a "terrible failure". The judge said: "The inquiry has discovered serious personal and systemic failures. "Patients at the Vale of Leven Hospital were badly let down by people at different levels of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde who were supposed to care for them." He added: "There were failures by individuals but the overall responsibility has to rest with the health board." Lord MacLean said "systems were simply not adequate to tackle effectively a healthcare associated infection" like C. diff. He added: "The major lesson to be learned is that what happened at Vale of Leven Hospital to cause such personal suffering should never be allowed to happen again." Lord MacLean also expressed his view that the figure of 34 deaths was probably an underestimate as medical records were not available for all of the patients during the period in question. He cited poor facilities, such as a lack of wash hand basins and a lack of commodes, as well as issues with the fabric of the building as evidence of poor management. The judge said that prolonged uncertainty over the future of the Vale of Leven hospital contributed to poor morale and recruitment. Poor leadership among NHS GGC managers, the judge said, contributed to substandard nursing care and deficiencies in medical staffing. He said inexperienced junior doctors had too much responsibility and consultants were stretched. Lord MacLean also said antibiotics were prescribed in cases where it was inappropriate. His report identified a number of failings: There are 75 recommendations in his report, including recommendations on infection prevention and control, nursing and medical care, antibiotic prescribing, communication with patients and relatives, and death certification. Lord MacLean added: "An effective inspection regime, I am convinced, would have been able to identify the dysfunctional nature of infection prevention and control at the hospital. "There must be an effective line of reporting, accountability and assurance. "This was lacking for the Vale of Leven Hospital. In addition, repeated warnings over a number of years about the importance of prudent antibiotic prescribing had no impact." C. diff Inquiry C. diff is a bacteria which lives harmlessly in the gut of 10% to 15% of adults. It causes diarrhoea when the delicate balance of gut flora is disturbed, often following a course of antibiotics. It is easily spread via airborne spores. The inquiry into the C. diff outbreak at vale of Leven was delayed five times. The eventual cost of the inquiry is estimated to be just under Â£10m. Lord MacLean acknowledged that improvements had been made since the C. diff outbreak. He said: "NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde did introduce more effective reporting systems for CDI (C. diff) after June 2008 but the message should be reinforced that systems must ensure that important

Summary: Scotland's largest health board has been heavily criticised by an inquiry into the country's worst Clostridium difficile (C. diff) outbreak.


New Zealand, who set a new record in the professional era by winning all 14 of their Tests in 2013, won team of the year for the seventh time. And Steven Hansen was named coach of the year for the second time in a row. "This is fantastic recognition of a very special team," said New Zealand Rugby chairman Mike Eagle. Kieran Read is the third New Zealander to win the IRB world player of the year award. Dan Carter triumphed in 2005 and 2012, while Richie McCaw won the award in 2006. 2009 and 2010 "We are very proud of what Steve, Kieran and the team have achieved in 2013 as they have worked hard to be the best." Read, 28, who has played 61 Tests for New Zealand, was chosen ahead of countryman Ben Smith, Wales' Leigh Halfpenny, South Africa's Eben Etzebeth and Italy's Sergio Parisse. He is the third New Zealander to win the award, following Dan Carter in 2005 and 2012 and Richie McCaw in 2006, 2009 and 2010. "I'd like to congratulate Kieran on his award as it is well deserved," said Hansen. "He has been outstanding and has been a major contributor all season. It's been a big year and I'm incredibly proud of what the boys have achieved. "It's certainly special to have the All Blacks named for all three awards so it's important that we thank and acknowledge all those behind the team." The winners of the three awards were picked by a panel chaired by Australia's 1999 World-Cup winning captain John Eales and made up of Will Greenwood, Gavin Hastings, Raphael Ibanez, Francois Pienaar, Agustin Pichot, Scott Quinnell, Tana Umaga and Paul Wallace. New Zealand's 14th win of 2013 came against Ireland late last month as they secured victory with a converted injury-time try to edge the autumn international 24-22.

Summary: New Zealand number eight Kieran Read has been named world player of the year as the All Blacks dominated the International Rugby Board awards.


The details of how much the basic income might be and who would be eligible for it are yet to be announced, but already there is widespread interest in how it might work. Prime Minister Juha Sipila has praised the idea. "For me, a basic income means simplifying the social security system," he said. The scheme is of particular interest to people without jobs. In Finland, they now number 280,000 - 10% of the workforce. With unemployment an increasing concern, four out of five Finns now are in favour of a basic income. "A basic income? Yes, I'd gladly have €1,000 (£700, $1,100) a month," says one man at a centre for the unemployed in Pori, near Finland's west coast. But the amount is unlikely to be anywhere near that high. He is the among the jobless who have come to an old, wooden building in city, where they can get cheap food, shop at a second-hand market, and take part in a variety of activities on offer. "It's a nice place to socialise," says another man sitting on a bench outside, enjoying the summer sun. People here have been out of work for a long time. "A basic income would encourage people to take a temporary job," says Paivi Hietikko, who helps out at the centre. Although she has no regular income at the moment, she does receive a payment for her work here. "Having a basic income would mean the bureaucracy I´ve encountered at the employment agency would decrease." 5.4 million people live in Finland 2.5 million are employed 10% of the workforce is unemployed 22.7% is the level of youth unemployment In Finland, taking on work can cost you money if you are unemployed. A paid temporary job means lower welfare benefits. And if that job comes from a low-wage sector, you lose out because there is a delay before the authorities allow your benefits to be restored once you have left the job. Many Finns nowadays have what are described as atypical working lives, in that few spend their entire lives in the same occupation and with the same employer. This fundamental change has prompted a need for reforms to the social security system. Supporters of the basic income believe it could offer an alternative to Finland's complex and costly benefit models. Paivi Hietikko certainly sees its potential advantages - but she also wonders whether it would deter people from looking for work. "The young especially might lose the motivation to look for a job, if it was, say, €700 a month. That would be too much," she says. This has become one of the main concerns surrounding the idea. But experts say it is too early to tell what the outcome would be. "What would be the impact of a basic income to employment in Finland - positive or negative? We can't really foresee how people would behave with a basic income," says Ohto Kanninen, from the Tank research centre. So the pilot project aims to get some answers. The prime minister has expressed support for a

Summary: The Finnish government is considering a pilot project that would see the state pay people a basic income regardless of whether they work.


European football's governing body has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Danish champions for supporters in the away end "setting off fireworks". Uefa holds host clubs responsible for security inside and around the stadium, "unless they can prove that they have not been negligent". Leicester won the game 1-0. Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body will deal with Copenhagen's case on 17 November. Elsewhere, three Polish football fans were arrested in Spain on Tuesday hours before Legia Warsaw's Champions League meeting with Real Madrid, AFP reported. The three supporters, aged 31, 33 and 34, are alleged to have attacked waitresses in a bar in the La Latina district of Madrid, stealing the mobile phone of one woman and attempting to rob cash from the till, a police spokesperson told the news agency. Legia have already been made to play their home game against Real, on 2 November, behind closed doors. The Polish champions were punished by Uefa last week for racist behaviour and fighting among the home fans during a 6-0 defeat by Borussia Dortmund.

Like all such launches, the test took place in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. Pyongyang's press release, issued a day later, indicated that the missile - the Pukguksong-2 - was of the same type as one test-fired from a submarine off the east coast in August 2016. Unlike North Korea's other long-range land-based missiles, the system tested on 12 February used solid fuel. Until now, the country's comparable land-based missile systems have been liquid-fuelled. Pyongyang also announced that the launch vehicle carrying the new missile is indigenously made and uses a continuous or "caterpillar" track, rather than wheels with tyres. Previously North Korea has imported and modified foreign-made trucks to transport and launch its missiles. A domestic manufacturing capability will negate the need to convince or fool foreign suppliers into selling these vehicles. Continuous track also suggests that North Korea's intention may be to take the missiles off-road, making it more difficult to detect imminent launches. Missiles using liquid fuel require greater preparation time than those using solid fuel. They also require a larger constellation of support vehicles to accompany each launch vehicle. Both of these considerations make it more likely that an enemy might detect the missile in time to conduct a pre-emptive strike. Solid fuel substantially reduces this vulnerability. North Korea will be able to roll these systems out of concealed storage and launch them with minimal preparation, drastically shrinking the time that an adversary would have to find and kill the missile. The capability thus represents a major step forward for North Korea. There are two ways to launch missiles from their supporting vehicle's canister. In "hot" launches, the missile's engines propel it upward out of the canister, while in "cold" launches, the missile is ejected from the canister using compressed gas before its engines ignite. A cold eject approach spares the launch vehicle from damage from the missile's ignition, making it possible to reload it and reuse. Kim Jong-un has hit the gas pedal on North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes. In the past 13 months he has conducted two nuclear tests and launched over 20 ballistic missiles, including from a submarine. The demonstration of a long-range, solid-fuelled, land-based system is a continuation of this disturbing trend and one of the first significant foreign policy challenges that US President Donald Trump will be forced to grapple with.

Summary: On the morning of 12 February, North Korea conducted a ballistic missile test launch from Banghyon air base near the west coast of the country.


Ban Ki-moon said he witnessed a looting incident in Les Cayes, where he promised more aid to Haiti. He also urged countries to donate more. Officials says more than 1.4 million people urgently need humanitarian help. There are also fears of a cholera outbreak, with spikes in cases and deaths reported in the south west. The waterborne disease reached the island via Nepalese UN troops after the deadly earthquake in 2010, causing the deaths of nearly 10,000 people. Tensions have been high as help has yet to reach many families whose crops and water supplies have been destroyed. Haitian police and UN peacekeepers used tear gas to disperse a group of 100 residents who attacked humanitarian convoys in Les Cayes on Saturday. "We understand the impatience and the anger of the population who are waiting for emergency relief. We are doing all we can to facilitate the arrival of the assistance soon as possible," Mr Ban said. He flew over areas hit by the hurricane alongside Prime Minister Enex Jean-Charles. "I was very, very sad when we saw the complete devastation. But people the world over stand with you," the UN chief added. "We are going to mobilize as many resources and as much medical support as we can to first of all stop the cholera epidemic and second support the families of the victims." Some 120,000 homes were either damaged or destroyed when Category Four Hurricane Matthew swept through on 4 October with winds of 145mph (230km/h). Mr Ban visited a shelter in Les Cayes and told the displaced "kembe fem" in Creole, meaning "hang in there". In the town, one of the worst affected by Matthew, the streets have been cleaned and business have reopened. But power, transport and communications links are still difficult in other areas. Last week, Mr Ban called for a "massive response" to help the country, the poorest in the Americas. The UN launched an emergency appeal for nearly $120m (Â£97m) in aid, but just a fraction of it has been raised. Mr Ban acknowledged there was aid "fatigue", but urged countries to help Haiti.

Summary: Angry Haitians looted aid trucks as the UN secretary general visited parts of the country hit by Hurricane Matthew, which killed 900 people.


Airdrieonians man Watt placed the ball in the bottom corner following good work from Robert Thomson. He then turned provider as player-manager Darren Dods headed the second. Watt and Thomson found the net to put the game beyond the second-bottom side before Forfar defender Gareth Rodger was sent off in the last minute.

Brash? Arrogant? Ostentatious, perhaps? Hold on a minute, did someone say introverted? "I've got this reputation of being confident, yet I go and do all these psychology tests and I'm an introvert," Pietersen tells his former team-mate Andrew Flintoff in an interview to be aired on BBC Radio 5 live on Tuesday at 20:30 BST. Source: ESPN Cricinfo "I'm very much an introverted person. I like my own company, my own family. I don't really go out much. "I think the confidence has grown from what I've achieved on the cricket field but I'm not as confident as anybody thinks." The disarming revelation is one of many in Pietersen's fascinating chat with Flintoff, a player with whom he occasionally clashed during the years they shared an England dressing room. In it, Pietersen talks about growing up in South Africa unaware of what the Ashes were, his see-saw relationship with Shane Warne, his ill-fated spell as captain and his regret over the silly shots that have left him looking "a complete mug" at times. He opens up about England captains past and present, relives the anguish of injuries and loss of form and reaffirms his ambition to clock up 10,000 Test runs. Like many top sportsmen, Pietersen is public property, someone we think we know much better than we actually do. This interview goes behind the bling and the bravado to reveal an insecurity over his image, a recognition of his faults, a light-heartedness - he calls Flintoff "chubby" at one point - and perhaps less surprisingly, an absolute obsession with his performance on the field of play. After leaving South Africa in protest against the racial quota system - which insisted on a certain number of non-white players in every team - and qualifying to play for England through the Kolpak rule, Pietersen announced himself with three one-day centuries against the country of his birth in early 2005. He went on to play a decisive role in England's historic Ashes victory over Australia later that year, making back-to-back fifties on his Test debut at Lord's and sealing the series with a breathtaking 158 at The Oval. The sheer audacity with which Pietersen took on the team that had dominated the game for more than a decade was jaw-dropping, but as he reveals to Flintoff, his close relationship with Australian talisman Warne - they were team-mates at Hampshire - was one of the major reasons why he settled so quickly into Ashes cricket. Media playback is not supported on this device "Having the great Shane Warne as my mate, walking onto the field and not having him hammer me from first slip, but just laugh and have a joke helped a lot," says Pietersen. "I think I could have been fearful playing Australia but because this huge figure was a mate of mine, it calmed things down." There was nothing calm about the celebrations that followed England's Ashes win as the players famously partied the night away before arriving at a Downing Street reception the next morning somewhat the worse for wear.

They were erected to glorify the Red Army's vital role in ousting the Nazis. But many Poles say it also ushered in four decades of Soviet-inspired communism, and want the monuments to be displayed in historical context. The plan could anger Russia, which has not been consulted. Relations between both countries are tense. The Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) proposes to house the monuments in a park in the former Soviet base at Borne Sulinowo, a small town north-west of Warsaw, where they will be used for the purpose of teaching history. Andrzej Zawistowski, director of the IPN's education department, said the plan includes 229 monuments that refer to "what we consider as untruth: gratitude for having given Poland independence." Poland, now a western ally and Nato member, sees the Soviet domination following the end of the war as a period of oppression, and its relations with Moscow have been strained for some years. Poland and Russia are loggerheads over a number of issues, notably Russia's policy on Ukraine and EU sanctions on Moscow. The plan is diplomatically sensitive. The Kremlin protested strongly when a Soviet monument was removed from the town of Pieniezno last year. Russia says it exposed a lack of gratitude for the sacrifice of the Soviet troops who freed Poland from the Nazis. More than 20 million Soviet soldiers died in World War Two. Moscow argues that Poland is obliged to protect all war memorials under a 1994 bilateral agreement with Russia. But Poland says the agreement covers only cemeteries, which are not affected under the plan. "The plan will include only monuments expressing the gratitude towards the Red Army, and it will not affect Soviet cemeteries," said Mr Zawistowski. "The educational park will show these monuments within the right historical context," Mr Zawistowski said. "Educational parks and institutions of this type exist equally in other states such as Lithuania, Hungary or even Russia." The institute says it will help with the removal of the monuments and their installation in the museum. But it is up to city councils whether they want them cleared.

Summary: More than 200 monuments marking the Soviet army's liberation of Poland at the end of World War Two are to be moved to an open-air museum.


David Davis said "some people" were exploiting practices "to delay and dispute the outcome" of the inquiry, which began in 2009. The government said it was a matter for the independent inquiry. It comes amid growing pressure on Sir John Chilcot to set a publication date. The inquiry, which is looking at the reasons for the UK's involvement in the 2003 US-led invasion, held its last public hearing in 2011. The war saw British troops remain in Iraq until 2009 and a total of 179 UK service personnel were killed in the conflict. Sir John this week wrote to families of UK soldiers killed in Iraq saying he understood their "anguish" at delays, blaming the "Maxwellisation" process - where those criticised are given an opportunity to respond. His response came after some bereaved families threatened legal action. Mr Davis said: "What appears to be happening is that some people are using the Maxwellisation process to delay and dispute the outcome of Chilcot." The purpose of the process, he said, was to give people notice that they were going to be criticised and give them time to prepare for it and correct any errors of fact. He said it was not meant to be a "process of private dispute and debate between the inquiry and those being criticised in order to influence the conclusion of the inquiry". Mr Davis told the Telegraph ministers should now act. "Surely the reasonable action for the government to take now is to say 'there should be a limit in time and money on what can be spent on government lawyers to allow this inordinate delay to continue'," he said. When the Chilcot inquiry was launched, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it would take at least a year. Sir John has faced criticism in recent weeks, with Prime Minister David Cameron expressing his frustration at the delays. The government spokesman told the Telegraph: "This is an independent inquiry and as such Maxwellisation, publication and timing are a matter for Sir John."

Summary: The government should limit the amount of money spent on legal advice for politicians, officials and military figures as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, a Tory MP has said.


The Vulcan XH558 took part in the North Wales Air Show at Rhyl, Denbighshire, on Saturday as part of a final series of displays which end in September. More than 180,000 people are expected at the air show over the weekend. The aircraft was operational from the 1950s to 1985. Charity Vulcan to the Sky Trust said the restored aircraft was beyond its flying hours. Denbighshire council said it had received Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) guidance after the Shoreham air crash last weekend, adding safety would be a top priority at the show in Rhyl.

Summary: An iconic Cold War British Vulcan bomber has made its final flight over Welsh skies.


Media playback is not supported on this device With McGrath without several experienced campaigners, the side has only seven starters from last summer's qualifier defeat by Mayo. Left-half forward Dessie Ward will be Monaghan's only championship debutant. With Darren Hughes ruled out by injury, Karl O'Connell switches to midfield in a largely experienced Monaghan side. Cian McManus and Kane Connor will be making their first championship starts for Fermanagh although they did come on as substitutes during last summer's campaign. McGrath believes his side can upset Monaghan despite being without several experienced campaigners. Injury has ruled out Ruairi Corrigan, Declan McCusker, Owen McManus and Ryan Jones. Richard O'Callaghan, James McMahon, Marty O'Brien and Damian Kelly are also missing but McGrath remains positive. That leaves Michael Jones, Che Cullen, Aiden Breen, Eoin Donnelly, Ryan Lyons, Sean Quigley and Tomas Corrigan as the survivors from the controversial defeat by Mayo last summer although Kane Connor and Paul McCusker did come on as substitutes in that game. "If we play to our potential, we can still be very, very competitive against Monaghan," said the Erne county boss. McGrath accepts that Monaghan will go into the Clones game as favourites having won two of the last four Ulster titles. Malachy O'Rourke's Farney County side also produced a solid league campaign as they comfortably retained their Division One status while in contrast, Fermanagh dropped back to Division Three in a major setback for the county. "Yes they are a very accomplished team and they are experienced in the right way, with them certainly not an old team," admits McGrath. "Their system of play has been road-tested and found to be successful so it's a huge task for us. "But the championship is about performance collectively as a team and individually as players. "We have worked very hard over this last number of weeks. We too have a lot of very high-quality footballers." Holding midfielder O'Callaghan looks a big loss for McGrath's side after opting out to spend time in Australia. Defenders O'Brien and Kelly opted to quit inter-county duty over the winter while the injury list included Ruairi Corrigan who missed the entire league campaign following shoulder surgery. Monaghan: R Beggan; F Kelly, D Wylie, R Wylie; C Walshe (capt), V Corey, N McAdam; K Hughes, K O'Connell; G Doogan, S Carey, D Ward; C McCarthy, J McCarron, C McManus. Subs: C Forde, K Duffy, J Mealiff, D Mone, B Greenan, A Lynch, D Malone, O Duffy, R McAnespie, T Kerr, M Bannigan. Fermanagh: T Treacy; M Jones, C Cullen, C McManus; A Breen, R McCluskey, CP Murphy; E Donnelly, L Cullen; B Mulrone, R Lyons, P McCusker; K Connor, Sean Quigley, T Corrigan.

Summary: Fermanagh boss Pete McGrath hands a championship debut to Conor Murphy for Saturday evening's Ulster Football opener against Monaghan.


In the video, a woman is conversing with her mother as she gets ready to go out. She doesn't admit to going out on a date, but says she is heading out for a theatre festival. However, the mother sees a Tinder message pop up on her daughter's phone and smiles. The date has her "right swipe", she says, offering her surprised daughter her stamp of approval. The video, uploaded on 7 May, has been viewed more than 400,000 times. Facebook users have termed this advertisement's portrayal of Tinder - which is largely perceived as a hook-up app - as "sanskaari" Tinder (which means "virtuous" in Hindi). But there was a lot of scepticism about whether the advertisement reflected the reality in most Indian homes, where dating openly is not the norm. Several joked that Tinder should collaborate with matrimonial websites like Shaadi.com. "Hook Up to Matchmaking in 30 seconds flat," said one user, while another asked: "Is Tinder the new Indian marriage matrimony??" "Did I pull a Rip Van Winkle and sleep through a hundred years of mom evolution?," asked one user, while another user commented cheekily: "Reality- Mom swiping right on daughter's cheek." The new advertisement has been seen by some as a way for Tinder to change its positioning. On Facebook, Tinder says its app "is how everyone today meets new, like-minded people around them - people who become friends, lovers, mentors, acquaintances, partners, movie-buddies or soulmates". Taru Kapoor, head of Tinder India, says the video shows the "changing dynamic" in Indian culture. "Like every generation, the youth today have adopted strong Indian values while at the same time creating new norms and rejecting the ones that do not fit anymore in a shifting world order," she says, in a statement emailed to the BBC. "A mother catching a glimpse of her daughter's Tinder notification is reflective of the future of dating in India, where youth and parents are open and honest about dating." Some users were supportive of idea behind the advert, despite not being completely convinced it reflected reality. "Refreshing move by Tinder India to reposition itself as a 'parent approved' dating app. Although quite wishful but I hope reality reflects this ad someday soon," said a user on Facebook, while another remarked: "Apt representation of all the people on Tinder with 'No Hookups' on their bio." India is currently the largest market in Asia for Tinder - it is where the US-based app launched its first overseas office. It was the most downloaded dating app in India in 2015 and Tinder says the app attracts over 14 million swipes each day in India. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world. You can follow BBC Monitoring on Twitter and Facebook.

Summary: In a new advertisement, Tinder suggests that even Indian parents approve of the dating app - but social media users aren't convinced.


When anti-Muslim riots erupted in Gujarat state in 2002 after a train fire killed 60 Hindu pilgrims, Kallat responded with an installation of a "skeleton auto-rickshaw", evoking the haunting images of burning vehicles during the violence. A recent show in Delhi by the 42-year-old artist has similarly mirrored India's current political and social anxieties. With collections in many prestigious museums across the world and as curator of India's Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2014, Kallat is an significant artist with something sharp to say. His latest show has rightfully generated much conversation. Curated by art historian and curator Catherine David, the show, Here After Here, includes over 100 significant drawings and paintings, photography, video and sculptural installations produced by Kallat from 1992 to the present. "I've drawn the title from an earlier video work of mine titled 'Infinitum (here after here). I think it conflates space and time in a way that some of my work does," Kallat told the BBC. Kallat's exhibits span global and national historical events and concerns, and also deal with tropes like the vastness of the universe and the minutiae of urban life and family links. "Besides sharing 25 years of my work with a wide audience, at a personal level it is an opportunity to look back at what I've done, to understand what I might do in the future", he says. "Kallat is an original artist whose works are powerful statements that are intellectually stimulating and socially engaging," says documentarian and arts writer Ina Puri. Hailing from a middle class southern Indian family from Kerala, Kallat took to art as a student at Mumbai's JJ School of Arts. Not surprisingly, ruminations on urban landscapes, of which Mumbai, the city Kallat was born and lives and works, form a recurring backdrop to his work. Take Cry of the Gland (2009) which reflects Kallat's fish eye view of the city's people. It's a collection of enlarged photographs of shirt pockets of men bulging with the weight of ballpoint pens, leaking pens, mobile phones, spectacle cases and beedi, the traditional hand-rolled Indian cigarettes. The images evoke the untold stories of the working class and their jobs in a cramped city. In Kallat's world the quotidian demands introspection. His choice of materials may seem unusual but only help to highlight the ideas and emotions he is trying to evoke in the viewer with his artworks. Cenotaph (A Deed of Transfer) is a series of photographs that shift planes offering differing dimensions to the images of old Mumbai streets, broken pavements, shacks, and objects, including stickers in bubble gum wrappers or the ubiquitous Hindu gods and goddesses. Also poignant are his installations called Death of Distance (2007). The installation of large metallic Indian coin is a sharp commentary on the contradictions in a country where poverty and technology coexist. The installation includes two news reports that explain this glaring divide. One is on a new telephone scheme that promises mobile calls to bridge distances between people for the price of one rupee. The other news report is about the suicide of a

Summary: When a poor Indian girl took her life because her mother did not have a rupee (15 cents) to buy her food, Jitish Kallat, one of India's most important contemporary artists, could not but be stirred to produce art to reflect the tragedy of human life.


Five Fables won best app at the first day of prize ceremonies at the festival in Inverness. Heaney drew on the work of 15th Century Scottish poet Robert Henryson for the five morality tales. They were adapted for a TV animation by Northern Ireland's Flickerpix which was narrated by Connolly. Among Five Fables is The Two Mice, a story about a town mouse and a mouse from the countryside. Heaney, who died in 2013 at the age of 74, was acclaimed by many as the best Irish poet since WB Yeats. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995 "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past". David Cumming, of Waddell Media which runs the Flickerpix, collected the festival accolade on Wednesday on behalf of the animation studio and Touch Press. He said: "It's very exciting to win this award. "I think the whole Celtic media industry is really unusual, because it's very diverse and very eclectic. "It's one of the last places in television where not everything is absolutely ratings-fixated, and that you can still get commissions to do quite strange, out-there stuff, which I think really encourages creativity." Dolores Keane: A Storm in the Heart by RTE/Scratch Films won the arts award and The Hunchback in the Park by BBC Cymru Wales took the animation prize. Independent production company Move on Up's Katie Morag was named best children's television series. Adapted from Mairi Hedderwick's books of the same name, episodes of Katie Morag have been shown on CBeebies, CBBC and BBC Alba. The books tell of the adventures of a feisty, independent, red-haired girl who lives with her family on the fictional Scottish island of Struay. Cherry Campbell from Glasgow plays Katie Morag in the TV series. Winner of the entertainment category was Welsh comedy series Dim Byd, which is produced by S4C and Cwmni Da. TG4 and Touchline Media won the sports award for Arkle. The documentary tells the story of Arkle, the Irish horse named after a mountain in Sutherland that became the greatest steeplechaser in history. A statute in the horse's honour stands at Cheltenham race course. On day two of the awards on Thursday, BBC Two Scotland's documentary Being Sixteen about 16 and 17-year-olds voting in the Scottish independence referendum won the young people's category in the festival's awards for excellence.

Summary: An app based on an TV project involving Scots comic Billy Connolly and the late Irish poet Seamus Heaney has been honoured at the Celtic Media Festival.


Gabriel, 25, injured an ankle against Manchester City, leaving them short of defenders for their Premier League opener against Liverpool on Sunday. Per Mertesacker is out for five months with knee trouble and Laurent Koscielny only returned to training on Monday. The Gunners are working on a deal to sign Mustafi, 24. Mustafi, part of the Germany squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, began his career at Everton but made only one senior appearance for the Toffees, as a substitute in a Europa League match in December 2009. He joined Sampdoria in 2012 and played 44 league matches for the Italians before moving to Valencia two years later. Arsenal have made just the one defensive signing this summer - England Under-21 international Rob Holding from Bolton for a fee believed to be about £2m.

Summary: Arsenal defender Gabriel has been ruled out for six to eight weeks, increasing the likelihood of a bid for Valencia centre-back Shkodran Mustafi.


The blaze broke out at a building of five apartments on Beverley Road at about 06:00 GMT, the fire service said. The 31-year-old victim was rescued from a ground floor property and taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he later died. Humberside Police said the fire was not being treated as arson and described the man's death as "non-suspicious but unexplained". More on this and other local stories from across East Yorkshire Two firefighters also suffered minor injuries, Humberside Fire and Rescue said. Resident Vitalijus Lisauskas, who lives in the top floor flat, said he believed the explosion was a result of a gas leak. "The fire was in one of the downstairs flats and luckily we exited out of the building as it happened," he said. "Then it just exploded... knocking off the window and the one above it as well. "It looked like a fireball, in a split second it went boom." His neighbour, who would only give his name as John, said: "All I heard was a loud crash. "I'm quite a heavy sleeper so I went back to sleep and then the next thing you know I've got the fire brigade knocking and banging on my window telling me I need to get out." The scene is near Hull and East Riding Institute of the Blind (HERIB). Beverley Road was closed between Alexandra Street and Queens Road for up to three hours while a cordon was in place around the property.

Summary: A man has died following a fire and explosion at a flat in Hull.


The 25-year-old Spain international joined the Potters from Barcelona for an undisclosed fee in July 2014. Bojan, who missed the second half of last season with a knee injury, has scored 10 goals in 41 games for Stoke. Chief executive Tony Scholes said: "Bojan has made no secret of the fact that he now regards Stoke as his home in a football sense." Bojan said: "I am very happy and motivated. Stoke City gave me the opportunity to play in the most competitive league in the world, and I have only words of gratitude for their trust and for the way they have treated me. "Mark Hughes convinced me to come to Stoke, he has helped me and showed his trust in me from the beginning. "He followed closely the recovery process from my injury and there is no doubt I have signed an extension of my contract thanks to him."

Summary: Stoke City forward Bojan Krkic has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club.


A museum in New Zealand has made an official approach to Hawick museum for the flag, taken from a Maori tribe by Crown forces during a battle in 1865. The bid is supported by descendents of key figures involved in the Battle of Omaruhakeke. Members of Scottish Borders Council will be asked to approve the move. The request for the flag by Wairoa Museum in Hawke's Bay on New Zealand's North Island was accompanied by four letters from descendents of Maori leaders. They said the return of the flag could be a powerful symbol for the resolution of 160 years of social, economic, political and spiritual turmoil for the Maori people in that area of New Zealand. Councillor Vicky Davidson has already said there was "no good reason" for the flag to be part of the local museum collection. Scottish Borders Council's executive committee will decide whether or not to return the flag to New Zealand. You can get regular updates from across the south of Scotland on our live page.

Summary: Councillors are to meet to decide whether a Maori war flag held in the collection of a Scottish Borders museum should be repatriated.


Poole, 19, moved to Old Trafford in 2015 from Newport County, where he played under current Cobblers boss Justin Edinburgh. But his only United appearance to date was as a late substitute in the Europa League in February 2016. The Wales Under-21 international comes in as competition for centre-backs Ash Taylor and Leon Barnett. Edinburgh said: "He is a central defender who is comfortable on the ball. He is strong, he leaps well and he has all the attributes to be a top, top player. "He is mobile and he will complement the other defenders we have at the club well."

About 250 people have been allowed to travel from the south for three days of meetings at Mount Kumgang resort. Another group attended reunions earlier this week. For most of those attending it is the first time that they have had any contact in over 60 years. Millions of people ended up separated from loved ones by the physical division of the Korean peninsula. The reunions taking place this week are only the second round in the past five years. One of those travelling to the resort was the mother of a man who South Korea said was abducted by the North in 1972. The South Koreans were chosen using a computerised lottery system from among thousands who applied. Often accompanied by family members, they travelled in a convoy of buses from South Korea to meet their relatives. Given their age and the infrequent nature of these reunions, they are unlikely to ever see each other again.

Summary: A group of mainly elderly South Koreans have met relatives in the North, in the second of two organised reunions for family members separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.


Willie Macleod, executive director of the British Hospitality Association, said many retailers "relied on daily deliveries" from Blochairn. Firefighters began tackling the blaze in the early hours of Thursday. Mr Macleod said suppliers at the market were sure to be "resilient" but that businesses would be impacted. City Property, which owns the site, said it was trying to establish alternative arrangements so that normal business could resume as soon as possible. Mr Macleod told the BBC: "The impact on the market - short and medium-term - is not yet clear, it's unlikely that normal operations will be possible for the immediate or foreseeable future. "Any disruption to supplies of fresh produce will have an impact on hospitality businesses and caterers, as well as retailers - many of whom rely on daily deliveries." Mr Macleod said that in the immediate term, menus were likely to be adjusted and, in some cases, fresh produce would be substituted by frozen items. He added: "I'm sure that the wholesale suppliers which operate out of Blochairn will be resilient and adaptable and will already be looking at alternative arrangements for their customers - possibly using alternative markets such as Edinburgh or Newcastle in the interim. "Hospitality businesses will look for alternative, short-term sources of supply where they can. "Many larger chains and branded outlets operating in the west of Scotland will have national or regional procurement arrangements in place - these will not necessarily be reliant on Blochairn, so the impact in these cases is unlikely to be so severe." Donald Neilson, director of seafood company John Vallance, had been processing orders and loading vans when the fire broke out. "It was a pretty quick evacuation and most of our stock was left lying," he said. "We supply from the market to other wholesalers, restaurants, hotels, fish and chip shops and places like that. "The west of Scotland and central Scotland - all the restaurants and hotels - will have to go without orders today." Mr Neilson said he was hopeful the fire had been stopped before it got the the fish market area. "Hopefully we'll get back into the markets as soon as possible because all our computers and office stuff is there. "We also want to check our chills, our freezers and our tanks are ok." In the meantime, he said they had secured temporary warehouse space and hoped to provide a service from there. Jim McGhee, who owns Castle Douglas fruit and veg shop Mitchell's, was also there when the fire broke out. "We have a wholesale fruit business with a retail outlet and we go to the market two to three times a week," he said. "I had just got my lorry loaded up luckily - there were a couple of things I didn't get because the police asked us all to leave the area. "There is a bit of the market that hasn't been touched by the fire so I would think we will still be OK next week to get stuff. "The top end of the market has escaped the fire

Summary: A huge fire at a Glasgow fruit and vegetable market will hit local restaurants, flower shops and cafes, an industry chief has predicted.


BBC Two sitcom Boy Meets Girl and EastEnders have both been shortlisted for their portrayal of transgender issues. Transgender actress Rebecca Root and the first ever transgender actor in a TV soap opera, Riley Carter Millington, have also been nominated. Nick Grimshaw, Boy George and Sue Perkins are among the other nominees. Sarah Garrett, founder of the awards, explained: "The British LGBT Awards are vital in highlighting those who have done good by the LGBT community and are also important in promoting LGBT acceptance." "The commissioning of Boy Meets Girl was a particularly landmark moment in British television history as was the introduction of a transgender character to Eastenders. "The BBC should be proud of its commitment to diversity and groundbreaking coverage of LGBT issues," she said. Speaking in August last year, actress Rebecca Root, who plays Judy in Boy Meets Girl said: "I really believe that it will demystify my community, it will increase the visibility of the trans population. "In a way it's a shame, it's 2015 for goodness sake, and we're only having this conversation now. But better late than never." The British LGBT Awards take place at London's Grand Connaught Rooms on 13 May. Here are the nominees...

Dafydd Tudur, 27, was struck as he walked along the A487 Y Felinheli bypass from Caernarfon, Gwynedd, before 03.20 GMT in March 2015. The hearing in Caernarfon was told the dark clothes Mr Tudur was wearing would have made him difficult to see. There was no evidence the taxi driver had seen him, the coroner said. North West Wales Coroner, Dewi Pritchard Jones, said Mr Tudur had been out with friends watching rugby before going on to Caernarfon, and had decided to walk along the bypass because it was a quicker route home to Y Felinheli. Taxi driver Terry Moxon told the hearing he had no recollection of seeing Mr Tudur and the first he knew of a collision was when he heard a bang and noticed his windscreen was smashed. Mr Pritchard Jones said there were no street lights on the bypass because there is no official footpath and the collision was due to "misfortune". Originally from Morfa Nefyn, Mr Tudur was an Aberystwyth University law graduate and worked as a solicitor Tudur Owen Roberts Glynne and Co in Bangor.

Summary: The death of a man who was hit by a taxi as he walked home after a night out was accidental, an inquest has heard.


The party went from 37 DÃ¡il (Irish parliament) seats in 2011 to just seven. Ms Burton was TÃ¡naiste (Deputy Prime Minister) and Minister for Social Protection in the last government. She took over from Eamon Gilmore, two years ago, but will stay on until her successor is chosen. The front runner is Brendan Howlin, from Wexford, who is the former Minister for Public Expenditure. But it is understood that he only wants the job of Labour leader if he is the unanimous choice. Other possible candidates include Alan Kelly, the former environment minister, and Sean Sherlock, a junior minister at the Department of Foreign Affairs who was involved in the Fresh Start Agreement talks in Northern Ireland. If there is a contest it could be late August before the outcome is known.

Summary: The leader of the Irish Labour party, Joan Burton, is to stand down after the party's poor performance in February's general election.


Sam Spaven drove his Audi into Richard Pencott, 44, as he rode home from work in Harworth, Nottinghamshire, in June. Nottingham Crown Court heard Spaven had become abusive to his ex-partner when he learned she was seeing Mr Pencott. The 27-year-old, of Bircotes, Nottinghamshire, pleaded guilty on the first day of his trial and must serve at least 25 years behind bars. Spaven has a son with his former partner Amy Sherwood but the court was told they split up in April. He became angry after finding out she had been seeing Mr Pencott, a former work colleague of his. On visiting her home, he told Ms Sherwood "I'm going to chew your face off'" before threatening to kill her and Mr Pencott, Michael Evans, prosecuting, said. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Spaven returned the next day and was told to leave around the time Mr Pencott was finishing his shift. He then posted on Facebook: "Richard Pencott and Amy Sherwood have broken me and my family apart and my boy" before driving to "exact his revenge", Mr Evans said. He mounted the pavement in Blyth Road and drove into Mr Pencott's bicycle, which landed the other side of a 10-foot fence. The father-of-two died almost instantly from head and chest injuries. Spaven then drove to work at a gym in Rotherham, where he was arrested. Witnesses reported seeing damage to his car's windscreen and a big dent in the body work. Judge Michael Stokes said it was "premeditated, deliberate murder." "Why? Because you, obsessed as you were with your former partner and mother of your child, were blinded by jealousy and bent on revenge." A statement from Mr Pencott's family described him as "honest and hardworking" and called the murder "unprovoked and cowardly".

Summary: A motorist who murdered a love rival when he ploughed into his bicycle at 40mph has been jailed for life.


After more than two years without a goal, the 27-year-old has now scored five times in 11 appearances. "For me, it's just brilliant to be playing again," he told BBC WM. "The manager (Gary Rowett) has been good in indicating he is particularly keen to make it permanent." He added: "I'm not 100% sure what the ins and outs of this so-called option are. "But it has been noted that the international break is the time for people to sit down and talk about situations." Southampton-born Jutkiewicz, who has three times commanded a seven-figure fee in his 10-year professional career - for Everton, Middlesbrough and Burnley - was joining his 10th club when he came to St Andrew's. Prior to coming to the West Midlands on 31 August, Jutkiewicz had gone more than two years without scoring a goal. In fact, his last goal, on loan from Middlesbrough to Bolton Wanderers in May 2014, was the one that almost sent Blues down to League One, but for an injury-time Paul Caddis equaliser. "First year in the Premier League with Burnley, I didn't play many games and almost the whole of last season I spent on the sidelines injured. "I'm quite a cerebral person in my spare time and you do analyse things when you're sidelined. Maybe sometimes you over-analyse things. But I knew, if I could play regularly, everything would fall into place. "If you have a right mind, it can only benefit you on the pitch. From my point of view, I just wanted to go and play football and let the rest sort itself out. And the lads have made it very easy for me to fit in. "I've had a few bumps and bruises, but, for any centre-forwards or centre-half, that's what you get in a physical league like this when you put your body on the line. And I just take it on the chin."

Summary: Birmingham City's on-loan Burnley striker Lukas Jutkiewicz is happy to make his move to St Andrew's more permanent after rediscovering his goal touch with the Championship club.


Ambulances and firefighters were called to the scene after a smell of smoke was reported shortly after 15:30 BST. A generator that was inside a marquee has been turned off. A spokesman for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said up to 40 people were being checked but no-one appeared to have become seriously ill. "Nobody has been taken to hospital yet and we're not sure that anyone actually will [need] to be taken to hospital," John McPoland added. He said firefighters called for ambulance staff at about 16:00 BST after a number of people at the circus complained of feeling unwell. "We responded with three rapid response paramedics, one of our HART (Hazard Area Response) teams, two A&E crews and a patient care vehicle. "The first paramedic on the scene gave us a situation report that no-body seemed too seriously ill as a result of the incident, and he just wanted further personnel there to help him check everybody out," Mr McPoland said.

Summary: Paramedics have treated a number of people for the effects of breathing in fumes at a circus in Carrickfergus, County Antrim.


Class-A drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine were among the illegal substances seized, according to the data from police in England and Wales. There were more than 2,000 incidents dating back to 2011, suggest figures from 34 police forces. Teachers described the statistics as a "worry" and the "tip of the iceberg". The figures were obtained by the Press Association news agency (PA) under the Freedom of Information Act. PA sent Freedom of Information requests to every police force in England and Wales asking how many times illegal drugs had been seized or confiscated from school premises in the period from March 2011 to the end of 2014. The query asked for details of the type and amount of drug involved, its value, the type of school (primary or secondary) and details of who it was seized or confiscated from. Just over three-quarters of forces replied. Of these, 28 forces gave details of the types of drugs involved, 18 forces identified the type of school and 13 the ages of the individuals involved. The data reveals cannabis was involved in 625 of the cases and cocaine in 27. Other drugs confiscated included LSD, amphetamines and ecstasy. Overall there were two cases each of heroin possession at schools in the West Midlands, Surrey and Greater Manchester, plus another in Hertfordshire. Only four incidents involved children under 11. An eight-year-old and a nine-year-old in Staffordshire were caught with cannabis, as was a 10-year-old girl at a Leicester primary school, while another 10-year-old in Greater Manchester was carrying £5 worth of the drug. There were 241 incidents involving 15- to 16-year-olds and 231 incidents involving 11- to 14-year-olds. In Greater Manchester, a 14-year-old was caught with heroin with a street value of £500, and a 16-year-old with a quantity worth £330. Other incidents involved parents or school employees, including a school gardener in Humberside and a cleaner at a Manchester primary. The highest number of incidents and offences in the three complete years to March 2014 was for Hampshire with 229 cases. There were 144 incidents in Avon and Somerset and 138 in the West Midlands. South Wales police reported 92 cases. There was a slight year-on-year decrease in the numbers which peaked at 657 in 2011-12 and fell to 611 and 560 in the next two years, while in the period March to December 2014, there were 407 incidents. Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT teachers' union, said any incident of drugs on school premises was "worrying as it will often only be the tip of the iceberg of what young people are encountering on the streets. "Teachers and school leaders are always alert to the potential for young people being involved in drug or alcohol abuse." Ms Keates said many specialist programmes to help schools support and educate young people about substance abuse had been cut in recent years.

Summary: Hundreds of schoolchildren, among them a pupil of only eight, have been caught with drugs on school premises, new figures reveal.


The 32-year-old has scored one goal in 10 appearances for the League Two side in all competitions this season. "He has been extremely unlucky with injuries and is going to be a big loss while he recovers," head coach Dermot Drummy told the club website. "We just hope that when he comes back it he can play a full part for us in the last few months of the season."

Summary: Crawley Town striker Matt Harrold will be out for three months after suffering an Achilles injury.


Lauri Love, who has Asperger's syndrome, worries he will be sentenced to up to 99 years. "If I went into a US prison, I don't think I'd leave again," he told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. A judge will announce next week whether Mr Love, from Stradishall, Suffolk, should be extradited. Mr Love, who could face trials in three different US states, is accused of hacking into the FBI, the US central bank and the country's missile defence agency. He said the US prison system was "poor" at handling people with psychological conditions, who faced widespread bullying. "The way that mental health is dealt with in America is not in any way therapeutic," he said. "I have Asperger's and I have depression, so suicide is a real risk. "And if I get a 99-year sentence, it's an absurd length of time, meaning I would die in prison anyway." Mr Love calculates this could be the total combined sentence length if he is found guilty of hacking offences in each of New Jersey, Virginia and New York. The Federal Bureau of Prisons says it works to provide education to staff and inmates on suicide prevention. Mr Love told Victoria Derbyshire he could be "bullied" into accepting a plea bargain in the US - receiving a shorter sentence in return for admitting one or more of the alleged offences. "The threat of what might happen to me is always in the background," he said. "I've been scratching my face as a nervous reaction, which has exacerbated my eczema." Mr Love, 31, was first arrested at home in 2013 and had computer equipment seized by British police, who then released him on bail. He was not charged in the UK, where the investigation into him was dropped. In England and Wales, the maximum sentence for a computer crime such as those of which Mr Love is accused is two years and eight months. His defence team argues that his depression and Asperger's syndrome - a form of autism - mean he should not be sent abroad, but US prosecutors say he is using his mental health issues as an excuse to escape justice. "That's offensive to me, as someone who has had problems with mental health for all of my life," Mr Love said. "I really feel for my parents, who have the worry and the stress of this. It's been very difficult for them." In 2012. the then Home Secretary, Theresa May, blocked the extradition to the US of Gary McKinnon, a UK hacker with mental health issue, saying he was a suicide risk. Since then, the law has changed, so judges rather than politicians decide on extraditions. Mr Love's case is regarded as the first real test of the new law. A judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court will announce her decision on whether to extradite Mr Love on 16 September. Mr Love said he was "guardedly optimistic" he would be allowed to remain in the UK. The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the

Summary: A British man wanted in the US for allegedly hacking into government computers says he fears dying in jail if he is extradited.


The NHS is standing firm and says it has no responsibility to provide the treatment, known as Prep. It says the onus should fall on local authorities instead. Charities have called the decision "shameful", and warned that lives would suffer as a result. Prep (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill that can considerably lower a person's chances of catching HIV. If taken correctly, it is almost entirely effective in preventing HIV. NHS England has promised Â£2m in funding to treat about 500 people with Prep over the next two years. But after considering representations from stakeholders, it still does not believe it should be the body responsible for offering the drug. A statement on the NHS England website said: "'As set out in the Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to Premises by Local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013, local authorities are the responsible commissioner for HIV prevention services." Ian Green, chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "Today is a shameful day for HIV prevention. "This country used to lead the way in the fight against the HIV epidemic, but today, our national health service has washed its hands of one of the most stunning breakthroughs we've seen - a pill which, if taken correctly, is almost 100% effective in preventing HIV. "A pill which is already available in America, Canada, France, Kenya and soon to be Australia. "How did it come to this? It defies belief that, after 18 months of false hope, delays and u-turns in the battle to see Prep made available on the NHS to people at high risk of HIV, today we are in a worse position than when we started." He said repercussions for those at high risk of HIV infection could be dire. "It's not right that people who know themselves to be at high risk of HIV have to buy Prep themselves from the internet at considerable personal expense. Currently, only those who can afford it are able to access this life-changing treatment." The NHS in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have not yet made a decision on Prep.

Summary: NHS England has reiterated it will not fund a "game-changer" drug treatment that can prevent HIV, angering HIV charities which had been campaigning to reverse the decision.


McKinnon was also interviewed for the vacancy at St Mirren, but the Paisley club instead appointed Dumbarton's Ian Murray. The 44-year-old has joined Rovers on a two-year contract. Chief executive Eric Drysdale said: "Ray ticks all the boxes and we are confident he can take us forward." Rovers were seeking a new manager after Grant Murray, who had been in charge for three years, was sacked in April following five straight defeats. Now Malpas, the 52-year-old former Motherwell and Swindon Town manager who had been in his role since December, has also left the Kirkcaldy club. "As promised, the board has taken great care in its search for someone to replace Grant Murray," said Drysdale. "We spoke in detail to four of the very best candidates from a very long list of applicants. "Only one, Ray, was formally offered the job and we are very pleased that he has accepted." Former Rovers player McKinnon, who previously managed junior club Lochee United, recently signed a new contract at Glebe Park. First-team coach Laurie Ellis took charge of the Kirkcaldy side for the final Scottish Championship match of the season - a 2-2 draw away to Dumbarton - as they finished in sixth place. McKinnon, who took over as Brechin boss in 2012, led his side to a fourth-place finish in League One this season. However, they missed out on promotion after losing 2-1 on aggregate to Alloa Athletic in their play-off semi-final. McKinnon, who began his career at Tannadice, had two spells as a player at Stark's Park. He made five appearances in 2000 after leaving Livingston before joining Portadown, and Rovers were his final senior club, making 12 appearances in 2003 after leaving Montrose. McKinnon also had spells with Nottingham Forest, Luton Town, Stirling Albion, East Fife and Torquay United and finished his career in junior football with Lochee and Broughty Athletic.

Summary: Ray McKinnon has left Brechin City to become Raith Rovers manager, with Maurice Malpas standing down as director of football at Stark's Park.


The France striker opened the scoring against Rostov with a brilliant flick, but Sardar Azmoun equalised - only the fourth time in 19 home Champions League games under Diego Simeone that Atletico have conceded - before Griezmann fired in off the crossbar in injury time. Bayern won 2-1 at PSV, with Poland striker Robert Lewandowski scoring twice and hitting the woodwork three times - taking his tally for club and country this season to 19 goals in 17 games. Paris St-Germain also went through thanks to a 2-1 victory at Basel. Thomas Meunier scored a brilliant late volley for the French champions, who qualified with Arsenal from Group A. A draw would have been sufficient for Unai Emery's PSG side thanks to Arsenal's 3-2 win at Ludogorets. Napoli missed the opportunity to clinch their last-16 place as they drew 1-1 at Besiktas. Ricardo Quaresma gave the Turkish champions a 78th-minute lead before Marek Hamsik curled home a fantastic 25-yard effort four minutes later. Benfica beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 courtesy of Eduardo Salvio's 45th-minute penalty. Borussia Dortmund will progress if they beat Sporting Lisbon at home. Real Madrid will join them from Group F if they win at Legia Warsaw, providing Dortmund win. Leicester will go through if they beat FC Copenhagen at the King Power Stadium. A draw would be enough for the Foxes if FC Porto do not beat Club Brugge. Victory over Lyon will secure Juventus' place in the last 16, which would mean Sevilla will qualify if they beat Dinamo Zagreb. Match ends, Atlético de Madrid 2, FC Rostov 1.

Under the plan, a single point of contact, such as a teacher or health visitor, would look out for the welfare of every child under the age of 18. The Scottish government said the "named person' would act as a central point to help families if they needed it. But objectors said it would undermine parents. The measures, in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, are due to come into force from August 2016. Ministers said the "named person" would act as a liaison between the child, their family and access to any services they may need. Those in favour said it would make help easier to find and co-ordinate action if children needed it and could act as an early warning system. But objectors argued that the definition of "well-being" was so broad it had the potential to lead to disputes between the state and families. The No To Named Persons (NO2NP) campaign group said the measures breached data protection laws and the human rights of parents. A legal challenge against the legislation failed at the Court of Session last month but NO2NP is considering an appeal. The policy is already being rolled out in parts of Scotland including the Highlands, Edinburgh, Fife, Angus and South Ayrshire. Alex Cole-Hamilton, head of policy at children's charity Aberlour Child Care Trust, said: "I can understand that there is a lot of anxiety, particularly in those groups that are opposed to it. "I think a lot of that anxiety stems from misinformation and some misunderstanding of the provisions of the Act. "The named person has been in place in areas like Highland for a significant period of time. The vast majority of parents have had no cause to have any contact with them." A spokesman for the NO2NP campaign attacked the legislation as "a ruthless and perverse intrusion into the lives of families" and "a Big Brother-style snoopers' charter". He said: "NO2NP remains firmly of the view that the 'state guardian' legislation is fundamentally flawed and cannot be corrected by guidance. "It is wrong in principle to grant named persons the legal responsibility for the very broadly defined well-being of every child. This will inevitably undermine parents and stretch already limited resources. "The data sharing provisions of the act are flawed and will inevitably come into conflict with existing data protection laws."

Summary: A consultation has been launched on how controversial plans to appoint a "named person" for every child in Scotland will work in practice.


But the 31-year-old was disappointed with his time of 51.90 seconds ahead of the British Championships in Birmingham on 3-5 July. Williams is continuing his comeback from a four-month ban for failing a drugs test in July 2014. "I didn't expect to run so slow today... but with a few tweaks I should run a bit quicker next week," he said. "I'm expecting to run under 50 seconds but it's no good me talking about it, but I've trained hard and I can only do what I can do." Williams is bidding for a place in the Great Britain team for August's World Championships in Beijing. But he would have to finish in the top two in the British Championships to be selected and also needs to meet the qualifying time of 49.50sec at an event before Beijing. Williams only returned to competitive action in May after his ban, which he served after UK Anti-Doping found that he and fellow Welshman Gareth Warburton had inadvertently taken a contaminated food supplement. Elsewhere at the Cardiff Athletics Stadium, 17-year-old Hannah Brier claimed her first senior women's 100m title in a wind-assisted 11.40sec - just outside the national record of 11.39 sec and all-comers record of 11.27sec. "I just wanted to concentrate on my start as I've been chasing times a lot and that's not very good," Brier said. "I'd forgotten that I had to concentrate on my start and I was really happy with that - 11.40 was up there with some of the fastest times I've run this season." Brier, who added the 200m title on Sunday in 23.62sec, now hopes to be selected for the World Youth Championships, which begin in Colombia on 15 July. "I've run the qualifying standards quite comfortably, so it's just whether the selection panel now think I'm worthy enough of going out there," she added. Sam Gordon took the men's 100m title in 10.36sec, with defending champion Dewi Hammond having to withdraw after picking up an injury when winning his heat. Navid Childs won the triple jump with 14.68m, while Sian Swanson retained her women's triple jump title with 11.06m. Olly Sheppard was the 3000m champion in 10min 47.52sec, with Vicki Cronin running a personal best of 11.56.23 in the women's event. Brett Morse successfully defended his discus title with a throw of 58.69m, as did Awen Rosser in the women's event with 39.54m. There was also success for Cardiff-based pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw, returning to action after 16 months out injured, whose 4.50m led the field and also achieved the mark necessary to qualify for the World Championships.

Summary: Rhys Williams successfully defended his 400m hurdles title at the Welsh Championships in Cardiff on Saturday.


Viktoria Tautz, 34, was looking after Joshua Paul at his home in Haringey, north London, on 29 August 2014 when he suddenly collapsed. Joshua was taken to hospital but died on 1 September, the Old Bailey heard. Ms Tautz, of Holly Park Road, Barnet, denies one charge of manslaughter and insists she never got angry with him. The court heard Joshua, who was born about 10 weeks early, had a large head for his age and was being monitored. Asked what she knew about his condition, Ms Tautz said she was aware his head was "big" and "sensitive" on the top. After starting work for his family in June, she said she was getting on well with the parents. On Joshua, she said: "He was good baby." Bernard Richmond QC, defending, asked how she coped on days when she found him in an unhappy mood. Ms Tautz said: "There was not much needed. I lifted him a bit. I played with him. He calmed easily." The barrister asked if she ever got "angry" or "frustrated" with the baby. She replied: "No, never." On the day of Joshua's death, Ms Tautz said he was lying on his back making "baby noises" so she talked to him in English, thinking he was not tired enough to sleep. When he began "crying very intensively" she decided to pick him up to "make him calm down", she said. "When I picked him up his face was red. I recognised his face seemed swollen," she told the court. Joshua did not appear to be breathing and she "got scared" - taking him to the bathroom to try and induce vomiting, the jury heard. "Everything happened very fast", she said. "I was absolutely scared. I didn't know what happened to him." Ms Tautz was arrested on 5 September and in police interviews said she had not had any accidents and denied shaking him. Jurors were told Joshua died "because of a head injury that caused bleeding in his brain, eyes and other spinal injuries". The trial continues.

Summary: A nanny accused of leaving a 10-month-old boy fatally injured in a fit of anger has denied to a court that she lost her temper with him.
