Two planning applications for the Bristol Arena, a 12,000-seat venue set to open in 2017 near Temple Meads, are to be submitted next month. People living nearby raised concerns about parking but the council said city centre car parks had "spare capacity, within a 20 minute walk of the arena". A consultation closes on 13 October. Paul Breedon lives in nearby Totterdown and runs community magazine South Bristol Voice. He said he was not against the arena, but when he had asked local people about their concerns, they replied "parking, parking, parking". "Some of the closest places you will be able to park on the street are in Totterdown and the worry is that there's no plan at the moment," Mr Breedon said. Peter Mann, of Bristol City Council, said: "Building a car park next to the arena will send all the wrong messages about the sustainability of it. "So using public transport, cycling and walking and investing in that side of it, rather than building an expensive car park." Mayor George Ferguson said parking for disabled people and operators would be provided but visitors would be "encouraged to travel to the venue sustainably". He said: "Of course, I absolutely respect that Totterdown have got parking pressure and I've had a lot of people from Totterdown already, because of commuter parking, saying we should have a residents' parking scheme, and we might do that. "This is for the end of 2017, early 2018, by which time we'll have the Metrobus and have made arrangements with Great Western for additional trains for major events. "This is not a parking story, it's a story about fantastic regeneration for Bristol."

Plans for a new £91m entertainment arena being built in Bristol will not include an "expensive" dedicated car park, the council has said.

The Ayrshire club, which is hosting this year's Open, shares its facilities with Ladies' Golf Club Troon but both have separate clubhouses. Troon captain Martin Cheyne said the club had written to its 800 members to "understand their views and feelings on the issue". Royal Troon and Muirfield are the only two Open hosts to still exclude women. Last month, golf's governing body the R&A said the issue was "a matter for the club" to decide on. Troon was formed in 1878 and Cheyne added: "We care very much for the reputation of Royal Troon Golf Club and it is important that the club, much like the wider game, reflects the modern society in which we exist." Golf will feature at the Olympics in Rio this summer after a 112-year absence and the sport's oldest institutions have taken steps to modernise since its return to the Games was confirmed. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St Andrews opened its membership to women in 2014 for the first time in 260 years, while Royal St George's in Kent lifted its ban on women last year.

Royal Troon Golf Club is consulting members over whether to end its men-only membership policy.

More than 260 children had been left at the welfare home in Guangzhou since 28 January, director Xu Jiu added. Staff will continue caring for babies already at the welfare home, all of whom suffer from illnesses, Mr Xu said. China introduced the centres so parents could abandon infants safely rather than leaving them in the streets. Supporters say the baby hatches save lives, but critics say they encourage parents to abandon their children. Mr Xu announced the suspension on Sunday, saying that 262 babies had been left at the centre since the scheme began in January. "I hope everyone understands the difficulties the welfare centre faces," Mr Xu told Xinhua news agency. "We are temporarily closing the centre [to new babies] so that we can properly care for the infants already at the centre." The centre, which also cares for orphans, has 1,000 beds. However, it currently houses 1,121 babies and young people, with another 1,274 in the care of foster families, Guangzhou's Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau said. All the abandoned infants had illnesses, such as cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease, the bureau added. It is thought that many parents abandon ill babies because they fear they cannot afford the medical care required. Abandoning children is illegal in China. However, authorities believe that the hatches give the infants a better chance of survival than if they were left in the street. A total of 25 baby hatches have been established in 10 provincial regions in China, Xinhua reports. Under China's strict population control policies, most couples have only been allowed to have one child and there is a strong preference for healthy baby boys. In December, China's top legislature formally adopted a resolution easing the one-child policy, allowing couples to have two children if either parent is an only child. Provinces are now determining when to relax their restrictions at a local level, with some acting already.

A baby hatch in southern China has been forced to suspend work after hundreds of infants were abandoned, overwhelming the centre, its director says.

It said Mr Sanchez Ceren won 50.11% of the votes in the 9 March poll, defeating conservative candidate Norman Quijano, who polled 49.89%. Mr Quijano had challenged the result, alleging fraud. But the court's decision makes Mr Sanchez Ceren the country's first ex-rebel to serve as president. On Sunday, the court said that there was not enough evidence to back Mr Quijano's claim. "Based on the results, Salvador Sanchez Ceren and Oscar Samuel Ortiz are declared president and vice-president elect respectively, for the period from 1 June 2014 to 1 June 2019," court president Eugenio Chicas was quoted as saying by Reuters. The country's outgoing President Mauricio Funes said he would meet Mr Sanchez Ceren later on Monday to begin the handover process. Mr Sanchez Ceren became vice-president of El Salvador in 2009, while Mr Quijano was the mayor of the capital, San Salvador.

El Salvador's electoral court has confirmed the victory of former left-wing rebel Salvador Sanchez Ceren in a tight presidential run-off election.

Cock-fighting is banned in many countries, but its popularity endures in Madagascar where it is still legal.

Prosecutors think Manuel Trillo helped Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman break out of the Altiplano jail in July. Now Mr Trillo has been sent to that very same prison. A manhunt is under way to catch Guzman, who leads the Sinaloa drug cartel, since he escaped through a 1.5km-long (one mile-long) tunnel on 11 July. According to investigators, Mr Trillo is the financial operator of the Sinaloa cartel and bankrolled Guzman's escape. He is also accused of using illicit funds to purchase properties from 2012 to 2015 under false names. More than 30 people have been arrested in connection with Guzman's escape, including the prison governor and several guards. Guzman's arrest in February 2014 was seen as a coup for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. The cartel leader had been on the run for 13 years since escaping from another maximum security jail in 2001, reportedly hidden inside a laundry cart. But his spectacular break-out from the Altiplano prison caused huge embarrassment. Video footage showed how guards failed to detect his escape until more than 20 minutes had passed. Questions have also been raised how the prison authorities could have failed to notice the construction of the tunnel leading directly into Guzman's cell. On CCTV footage leaked to the media, the sound of drilling can be heard reverberating through his cell. Investigators say Guzman's associates must have been planning the jailbreak since shortly after his arrest. Not only would the construction of the tunnel have taken time, but Guzman's associates also purchased a plot of land outside the jail and built a house to disguise the tunnel's exit. Attempts to recapture Guzman have so far failed although authorities said he was injured when he narrowly escaped from a police operation last month. He is believed to be hiding in his home state of Sinaloa, in north-west Mexico.

A Mexican businessman accused of financing the jailbreak of Mexico's most notorious drug lord has been sent to prison pending trial.

The Giants' eighth defeat in nine outings, despite a hat-trick from Jermaine McGillvary, saw them remain two points adrift of 11th-placed Leeds. Mike McMeeken scored twice for the hosts, with Greg Minikin and Jake Webster also crossing for Castleford. Leroy Cudjoe went over on two occasions for Huddersfield, with Sam Rapira grabbing the Giants' other score. The defeat continued a miserable start to 2016 for Paul Anderson's men, who were beaten by Wigan in the play-off semi-finals last season. Castleford, who remain without a number of key first-team players through injury, climbed to seventh in the table, three points behind third-placed Widnes Vikings. Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "It was a crazy game. It was a typical third game of Easter. "We've generally been pretty good in this period, but I haven't been able to rotate like normal. We have 10 guys out and we lost Grant Millington early on, and it's made it hard for us. "It's a massive win. I said to (assistant) Danny Orr before the game whether we'd have enough to beat them but we did, just about. "There's a couple of clubs who've responded well to new coaches such as Wakefield and Hull KR - and the competition is real tight, so it's an important win." Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson: "Our focus has to be on dusting ourselves down and trying to make sure we win the next game. "We know this group is capable of doing some good things. It's just a case of building energy because we're robbing ourselves of it at the moment. "It's the same old story. I could sit here and repeat myself constantly. "The positive was that we scored 30-odd points but the negative was clearly the amount they got." Castleford: Hampshire; Minikin, Crooks, Webster, Hitchcox; T. Holmes, Gale; Lynch, Milner, Jewitt, McMeeken, Millington, Massey. Replacements: Cook, McShane, Maher, Boyle. Huddersfield: Brierley; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Wardle, Murphy; Brough, Connor; Rapira, Hinchcliffe, Huby, Lawrence, Ta'ai, Roberts. Replacements: Crabtree, Patrick, Mason, M. Wood.

A bomb was detonated on board a train pulling out of Maelbeek station, close to the European institutions, in the morning rush hour on 22 March. The attack followed suicide bombs at Brussels airport which also killed 16. People can write their tributes to the victims on a commemorative wall inside Maelbeek station. The metro system is now fully open. The Brussels public transport authority (Stib) said that military and police officers would be present to "ensure the security of the entire network". The metro would be running to the same timetable as before the attacks; however, the number of entry points is limited to one or two per station, Stib said. Since the attacks, the metro system had been running from 06:00 to 22:00 but on Monday resumed its normal hours of 04:30 to 00:30. Survivors and relatives of the victims were able to visit the station on Saturday, before it re-opened. The explosion on 22 March did not damage the structure of the metro station, according to Stib; the work carried out included re-tiling and painting. A commemorative art work will eventually replace the tribute wall.

The Brussels metro station where 16 people were killed by a suicide bomber last month has re-opened.

Supporters of the charity were urged by a former patient to send donations and festive greetings to the pilot, doctor and paramedic on a bauble-shaped card. Nearly 600 cards now adorn a Christmas tree at its Marden base, in Kent, after the appeal was launched by Liz James. The charity, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, also received a total of £17,448 in donations. Ms James, from East Grinstead, said the air ambulance had "undoubtedly helped to save my life" after she was involved in a road traffic accident. So far this year, the air ambulance has attended more than 2,100 callouts.

A Christmas baubles campaign has raised more than £17,000 for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust.

The 31-year-old Manxman beat Team Sky's Elia Viviani and Astana's Andrea Guardini in a sprint finish. "I'm happy with that," said the Dimension Data rider, who finished second in last Sunday's road race at the Road World Championships. "We wanted to win. I felt good. It was a very chaotic sprint in which I lost my lead out in the second last corner." The races continues on Saturday with a 150km stage that finishes with a 10km ascent to the summit finish at Jebel Hafeet, while Sunday's final stage is a 26-lap race around Yas Marina Circuit. Stage two standings: 1. Mark Cavendish (GB/Dimension Data) 2 hrs 32 mins 21 secs 2. Elia Viviani (Ita/Team Sky) same time 3. Andrea Guardini (Ita/Astana) 4. Jakub Mareczko (Ita/Wilier Triestina) 5. Jean Pierre Drucker (Lux/BMC) Overall standings: 1. Mark Cavendish (GB/Dimension Data) 5 hrs 48 mins 06 secs 2. Giacomo Nizzolo (Ita/trek Segafredo) +4 secs 3. Jens Keukeleire (Bel/Orica BikeExchange) +5 secs 4. Elia Viviani (Ita/Team Sky) +8 secs 5. John Degenkolb (Ger/Team Giant-Alpecin) Same time

Mark Cavendish won the second stage of the Abu Dhabi Tour on Friday to take the overall lead.

The 36-year-old from Carrickfergus had been level on 15 with the late Robert Dunlop going into Thursday's races. Seeley broke away to win the opening Supersport race ahead of runner-up Ian Hutchinson and Martin Jessopp. The Supertwins race was abandoned after a two riders were injured in a high-speed crash. Dungannon rider Ryan Farquhar and Dan Cooper from Stroud came off at Black Hill and were taken to hospital. Forty-year-old Farquhar sustained chest and pelvic injuries, while Cooper, 28, had shoulder injuries. Record-breaker Seeley has won at least one event at the North-West for nine years in a row. He has also won at least one Supersport race in each of seven consecutive years from 2010 to 2016. The Supersport event provided a thrilling start to racing at the 2016 North West. Ballymoney's Michael Dunlop, a four-time winner at the North West, did not make it off the grid because of mechanical problems. Seeley surged into an early lead but some exillerating action saw Fermanagh rider Lee Johnston, Yorkshire man Hutchinson and Michael's brother William Dunlop all take turns at the front. Seeley, Hutchinson and Jessopp all broke the class lap record on the final circuit. "The North West put me on the map when I first came here and now to be mentioned in the same sentence as the Dunlops is unbelievable," said an elated Seeley. "It was a typical Supersport race. We managed to get a break and clinch the 16th win."

Alastair Seeley has broken the record for wins at the North West 200 road races by achieving his 16th career win at the international meeting.

The Hornets named seven loan players in their squad to face Palace on Friday, six of whom are from Watford's sister clubs Udinese and Granada. "They've got some world-class players that they've borrowed from almost one club," Holloway told BBC Sport. "It seems pretty ludicrous to me," he said after a Under Football League rules, sides are only allowed to name five loan players in a matchday squad and can only take two players on a standard loan from any one club. But loan deals arranged with foreign teams are recognised as transfers, meaning there is no limit to the number of loanees from overseas. It also means that Gianfranco Zola's Watford were able to earlier in the season. Watford currently have 10 players from Udinese and Granada on their books - teams who are also under the umbrella of Hornets owners the Pozzo family - and six of these were named on the teamsheet for Friday's game. Nathaniel Chalobah, on loan from Chelsea, was the only Watford player in the squad who counted towards their loan quota. Striker Fernando Forestieri was also on loan from Udinese earlier in the season, until It is a system that has worked well for Zola, whose side are third in the Championship. Holloway, who saw one of his own loan players, Kevin Phillips, net the equaliser at Vicarage Road, added: "We're only allowed to borrow two from the same team in this country. Unlimited abroad? That gives a licence to people to buy English clubs, chuck all their players over here and have a reserve team. "What if Barcelona wanted to buy us and play their 'B' team for us? We've got to sort this out. "No arguing - what their manager is doing and how they're doing it is fantastic. If there's a loophole, they've found it and some of those players are as good as any I've seen in the world. "But I can't believe there's such a massive loophole, and my question is - where are those English players going to come from?" Despite a reliance on foreign imports, Watford have maintained their tradition of using young, homegrown players. Eight players produced from the Watford academy have played a competitive match for the Hornets this season.

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has described the rule that has allowed Watford to make 11 international loan signings as "ludicrous".

The Lisa Marie, named after his daughter, was bought by Presley in 1975 and refurbished to include a master suite with full-size bed and conference room. Neither plane is airworthy but have been on display at Graceland for more than 30 years for fans to tour. They are being auctioned off by Julien's by sealed bids. Presley bought the Convair 880 jet in 1975, two years before his death, and spent about $300,000, refitting it and renaming the Lisa Marie. It also features a bathroom with gold taps and a stereo system with 50 speakers. The tail is adorned with Presley's trademark TCB for Taking Care of Business. The last flight it took was to transport his former wife Priscilla Presley and actor George Hamilton to his funeral. It was sold by his father, Vernon, in 1978, and had two owners before being bought by a consortium in a joint venture with the owners of Graceland to allow it to be displayed at the tourist hotspot. The agreement with the owners and Graceland expires in 2015. The Hound Dog II, a Lockheed JetStar, was bought in 1975 as a stopgap while the Lisa Marie was being prepared. It arrived at Graceland in 1984. The planes are being sold as one lot, with the option to buy land next to Graceland to display them, independent of the Presley Museum.

Two private planes owned by Elvis Presley - the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II - are going up for auction.

The 25-year-old striker has scored 20 goals in National League South games for the Wings this season. He has netted a further seven times in three FA Cup games, including six goals in one game against Swindon Supermarine in the third qualifying round. Ex-Notts County and Bromley man Coombes is eligible to make his debut for the U's against Torquay on Saturday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 54.2 in December, up from 52.8 the month before. A figure above 50 indicates expansion. However, the sector "continued to experience intense cost pressures". Markit said that the increase in costs seen last month was the biggest since April 2011. This came as suppliers passed on the higher costs of imported raw materials. The sharp fall in the value of the pound following last year's Brexit vote has made imported goods more expensive. Tim Moore, senior economist at IHS Markit, hailed "a solid rebound in construction output during the final quarter of 2016". "All three main areas of construction activity have started to recover from last summer's soft patch, but in each case, growth remains much weaker than the cyclical peaks seen in 2014," he said. "Housebuilding remains a key engine of growth for the construction sector, with the latest upturn the fastest for almost one year. "Meanwhile, commercial activity was the weakest performing category in December, reflecting an ongoing drag from subdued investment spending and heightened economic uncertainty." The construction survey, together with a similar survey of the manufacturing sector released on Tuesday, suggests the UK economy remained robust at the end of 2016, although the manufacturing survey also found firms facing rising costs. The survey of the UK's dominant service sector is due to be released on Thursday.

The UK's construction sector ended 2016 well, expanding at the fastest pace for nine months in December, according to a closely watched survey.

Mr Abe said the visit was so that they could "understand the spirituality of Japanese people". The two-day G7 meeting in Ise-Shima brings together industrialised nations. On Friday, US President Barack Obama will visit Hiroshima - the site of the first atomic bomb - the first sitting US president to do so. The visit to the shrine is controversial because critics say Mr Abe is catering to his conservative supporters who want to revive traditional values. Top of the agenda for the G7 nations - the US, Canada, Britain, Italy, Germany, France and Japan - will be concerns over the health of the global economy. Europe's refugee crisis will also feature prominently at the meeting. European Council President Donald Tusk said on Thursday he would ask the G7's support for more global aid for refugees. "If we (G7) do not take the lead in managing this crisis, nobody would," Mr Tusk said to reporters. Terrorism, cyber security and maritime security are also on the agenda. On Wednesday, Mr Obama and Mr Abe met for talks where the US president expressed regret over the arrest of a US military base worker in Okinawa in connection with the death of a local woman. Mr Obama also mentioned his upcoming visit to Hiroshima, saying it would "honour all those who were lost in World War Two and reaffirm our shared vision of a world without nuclear weapons, as well as highlight the extraordinary alliance that we have been able to forge over these many decades". He has previously said he would not be apologising for the dropping of the bomb by the US.

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has taken world leaders to the Shinto religion's holiest site, as the Group of Seven (G7) summit begins in the country.

The bodies, recovered from the Irish Sea, have yet to be formally identified, but are believed to be those of two men - aged 35 and 46 - who went missing on Saturday. They had been driving a speedboat from Port Logan, possibly to Stranraer. Police Scotland said officers were trying to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Helicopters, coastguard rescue teams and several lifeboats had been involved in the operation to find the missing speedboat off the Mull of Galloway. Rescue teams in Wales and Northern Ireland also took part in the search. A report was received at 18:15 BST on Saturday that two speedboat drivers had failed to return having set off at 09:00. Police Scotland said the men had launched the speedboat for a leisure trip. Two helicopters and lifeboats searched the water overnight on Saturday, following the boat's known and projected movements. About 10 teams had been involved in the search and returned to the water on Sunday. A coastguard spokeswoman described the search as "extensive".

The bodies of two men have been found following a rescue operation launched off the Dumfries and Galloway coast.

Sheffield City Council's cabinet agreed to set aside £262,000 from public health funds so voluntary groups can bid for cash to help running costs. The idea came after thousands of people objected to council plans to close several of the city's 28 libraries. The authority said it would work with community groups to finalise business plans by June. Those libraries are: Broomhill, Ecclesfield, Frecheville, Gleadless, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, Stannington, Totley, Upperthorpe and Walkley. The council said if groups did not make "sufficient progress, or fail to submit a business plan to the required standard" closures would still be needed.

Plans to prevent the closure of 10 Sheffield libraries by handing control to community groups have been approved.

The map was created by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives using Civil Defence and Air Raid Precaution Records. The creators said the Google Map showed the approximate areas of attack and damage. It covers all the known attacks from 26 June 1940 until the last raid on 21 April 1943. A second map shows enemy aircraft attacks recorded in the Aberdeen County Register of Air Raids and Alarms from 1940 - 1944.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Gunners have exited at the first knockout stage for the past six years, having finished second in their group in five of those campaigns. But they topped their section thanks to a 4-1 win in Basel and Ludogorets' shock 2-2 draw at Paris St-Germain. "We wanted to do our job and got lucky with the PSG result," Wenger said. Arsenal will avoid Monaco and Barcelona, who eliminated them in 2015 and 2016 respectively, as well as Atletico Madrid and Napoli in Monday's draw. However, teams they could still be paired with include Bayern Munich, who knocked them out in 2013 and 2014, and one of Borussia Dortmund or Real Madrid. "We can still have a difficult draw," said Wenger. "But there's less guilt when you finish first in the group because you feel you have done your job and you play the second leg of the first knockout tie at home. "It is what we wanted but, at the moment, the difficulty of the draw will not be much different." Arsenal's win in Switzerland came thanks to a Lucas Perez hat-trick, the Spaniard more than doubling his Gunners goal tally after making a £17m move from Deportivo La Coruna in August. He twice tapped into an empty net, and got his third with a neat finish from just inside the 18-yard box. "The first two were quite easy goals, created by the team," said Wenger. "But the third goal is a real striker's goal. "He scored over 20 goals in Spain last year and tonight he showed why. He has a real eye for goal." BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty Arsenal's success in topping their group is a tribute to their growing resilience, which saw them draw home and away to PSG in games where they were forced to suffer and battle for long periods. They also showed the swagger when they needed it to ruthlessly put Basel away to fulfil their side of the bargain while Ludogorets delivered the big favour in Paris. The different facets the Gunners have shown in coming out on top of the group suggests increasing maturity in Arsene Wenger's team and more justification for his belief they can make their mark in the Champions League this season. The Guardian, Metro, Daily Star and I newspapers all led with Arsenal on their Wednesday back pages.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he will feel "less guilt" if his side get a tough draw in the Champions League last 16 after they topped Group A.

Gladys Hooper, from Ryde on the Isle of Wight, became the country's oldest person on Thursday following the death of Ethel Lang, who was 114. Mrs Hooper is the UK's most senior supercentenarian according to the Gerontology Research Group records. On learning of her achievement, she said: "I am surprised, I thought I was just the oldest person on the island." Mrs Hooper, who has four grandchildren and six great grandchildren, was born in the same year as the Wright brothers invented the first aeroplane. Asked about the secret of her longevity, she said: "I have always been busy, I prefer being busy than being idle, that's what I don't like about now, I can't get about like I used to. "I have always lived a straight life, never done stupid things. I have never gone beyond the limit, always been active. I think always being active keeps you young. "I have done what I wanted to do and helped others as much as I could. "I do not feel anything like the age I am, I do not feel any different to when I was 70," Mrs Hooper said. Born in Dulwich, south east London on 18 January 1903 she was the oldest, and now the only surviving member, of six siblings - five girls and one boy. She was brought up in Rottingdean, east Sussex and went on to become a concert pianist before starting a car hire business in the 1920s. She later ran Kingscliff House School, which is now Brighton College. After being widowed in 1977 she moved to the Isle of Wight two years later to be near her son Derek Hermiston, an 84-year-old retired pilot. Members of Mrs Hooper's family travelled from across the UK and as far away as British Columbia to be with Gladys for her big day.

The oldest person in Britain celebrates her 112th birthday, just three days after assuming the mantle.

Glen Daly, 24, of Essex, was riding a moped when he was hit by a lorry in June 2009. Stefanis Konstantino, then 46, was convicted in 2013 of negligent homicide and fleeing the crash. He was sentenced to 23 months in prison. Mr Daly's mother, Dorothy, said she dreaded the court hearing in June 2016. Under Greek law, Mr Konstantino was not required to serve time in prison but was able to complete his sentence by paying a fine to the court. He had pulled out of a layby, hitting Mr Daly, and drove off. The court's sentence angered Mrs Daly, her husband Les and son and daughter, who travelled to Heraklion for the case. Speaking to the BBC, Mrs Daly said they would return to Crete and hear the same harrowing evidence just four days after the anniversary of Glen's death. It is understood his lifelong friend Tony Atkins, who was holidaying with him and was riding a separate moped, will also be required at the hearing. "As if it is not enough what we have been through already," said Mrs Daly, of Chadwell St Mary, near Grays. "I still find it very hard to come to terms with. "That inhumane driver has destroyed our lives, and denied my son his life, and he still wants us to go through the court again. "That driver took my life when he took Glen's. Nothing has changed for me since the 6 June 2009, when Glen died. "I'm just existing, getting through every day. "I can't get it out of my mind, reliving every day what happened to Glen - why the lorry driver pulled out when he did, and seeing Glen in the mortuary." Mrs Daly said should Konstantino win his case the family would appeal the decision in the Supreme Court. "I made a promise to Glen the day he died and when we visited him in the Chapel of Rest, that I will never stop fighting for justice, even down to my last breath," she said. Mrs Daly has previously said the original criminal case would not have come to court were it not for her family's dogged persistence in finding witnesses. In 2012, Konstantino was found responsible for Glen's death in a civil case brought by the Dalys. The family's Crete-based lawyer, George Kopidakis, said a defendant had the right to appeal against a court's decision without justification. He said he believed the driver's conviction would be upheld.

A lorry driver who killed a British holidaymaker in a crash in Crete has been described as "inhumane" for appealing against his conviction.

Twenty thousand properties in Lancashire were left without power after a high voltage fault. The Metrolink suspended all tram lines due to lightning strikes and Manchester Airport had to divert incoming flights. Surface water caused delays on the roads and to trains in the region. Electricity North West said homes in Colne, Burnley and Nelson have been affected by the power cut. The Environment Agency issued a number of flood warnings for south Manchester, with Fallowfield, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Rusholme among the areas affected. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) reported "high numbers" of 999 calls made after the storms hit. GMFRS said it received 106 calls between 18:30 and 20:00 from people reporting flooding and weather related issues. They included a woman and children trapped inside a car in flood water under a railway bridge in Stockport and electrical faults caused by flooding water. Manchester Airport was unable to accept any incoming flights during the height of the storm and had to divert a number of planes to other airports. Manchester City's Champions League group clash at home to German side Borussia Mönchengladbach was postponed less than half an hour before kick off due to a flooded Etihad Stadium pitch. It has been rearranged for 19:45 BST on Wednesday. The cosmetics counters at Manchester's Harvey Nichols department store were flooded as well. Meteorologist Mark Wilson said there was a lot of rain in a "very short space of time" in the region and "a lot" of thunder and lightning. Mr Wilson said: "Prestbury had 32.4mm of rain in an hour - which is pretty exceptional." He added the band of rain and thunderstorms looks set to push eastwards into Yorkshire and up to Scotland over the course of the night.

Torrential storms have struck the north west of England's transport system and caused the postponement of Manchester City's Champions League game.

Ideye has not played for the Super Eagles since November 2013 and he also missed out on the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He was named in a 28-man squad for Nigeria's fixtures against Uganda and South Africa on 25 and 29 March respectively. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see Ideye when the Nations Cup qualifiers start in June But the 26-year-old did not play in his club's 3-0 loss at Manchester City on Saturday, with West Brom medical staff telling Ideye he would be out of action for a week. As a result, he was forced to withdraw from the squad on Sunday, according to Super Eagles officials. "A minor injury has forced Brown Ideye to pull out of the Super Eagles friendlies against Uganda and South Africa," national team spokesman Toyin Ibitoye told BBC Sport. "It's only a minor setback for him. We all know it would have been a good return to the international fold after a long absence. "But his health is more important. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see Ideye when the Nations Cup qualifiers start in June." Ideye has scored five goals in 24 appearances for Nigeria. In 2013, he helped his country clinch their third Africa Cup of Nations title, scoring in the 4-1 semi-final victory over Mali. A member of their 2010 World Cup squad in South Africa, Ideye was omitted from the Nigeria squad that reached the second round at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye's return to international football has been stalled by a 'minor injury' that has forced him out of the Nigeria squad for two friendly matches next week.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the gap between imports and exports narrowed to £8.1bn in June, down from £8.7bn in May. The ONS also said construction output grew more in the second quarter of the year than it had first estimated. The data rounds off a week of positive economic news. The trade gap in goods with non-EU countries fell sharply from £4bn in May to £2.6bn in June, well below forecasts of a £3.8bn deficit. UK manufacturers have been urged to trade with countries outside Europe - which have been growing far more quickly in recent years - rather than with those in the eurozone, where growth is much weaker. However, the UK's single biggest trading partner remains the eurozone. Although the UK usually imports more goods from other countries than it exports, it normally makes more from services sold abroad than it imports, and taking this into account the overall trade gap, including both goods and services, was £1.55bn, the lowest since January. Over the three months to June, export volumes grew by 5.9% almost twice as fast as the growth in imports. June exports were worth £26.9bn, taking the total for the three months to the end of June to £78.4bn, a record sum. "This positive trade data supports our view that the manufacturing sector will gain momentum and will be a source of growth for the UK economy over the coming years," said Rachel Pettigrew, senior economist at the EEF manufacturers' organisation. The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the fall in the trade gap was "welcome", but added that the deficit was "still too large". "We aren't making enough progress in rebalancing our economy towards net exports," said David Kern, chief economist at the BCC. "Our recent surveys reveal huge untapped potential among British exporters, especially in the service sector, and unleashing this potential will help to secure a sustainable recovery." Separately, the ONS released data on construction output, showing it rose by 1,4% in the three months to the end of June, up from the previous estimate of 0.9%. Earlier in the week, ONS figures showed that manufacturing output rose in June at the strongest pace since the end of 2010. Other surveys have also pointed to strong growth in the service sector and in retail sales.

The UK goods trade deficit shrank to its smallest amount in almost a year in June, official figures have shown, helped by a rise in exports.

The victim, 78-year-old Brian Hurry, was found at an address in Bramwoods Road, Chelmsford, on Saturday, Essex Police said. The arrested woman, aged 41, and the men, aged 24 and 43, all from Chelmsford, are being held in custody. Investigators are at the scene, which remains cordoned off. A post-mortem examination is yet to take place.

Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead in Essex.

The proposed £6.5m station in Ilkeston is one of four schemes that successfully applied for money from a £20m Department for Transport fund. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the scheme had been awarded £4.5m from the New Station Fund. The station will open in 2014 and will connect Ilkeston to Northern Rail's Sheffield to Nottingham route. Mr McLoughlin, who is also a Conservative MP for Derbyshire Dales, said: "Ilkeston is one of the largest towns in the country that doesn't actually have a railway connection. "The truth of the matter is we've seen massive growth on the railways over the past 15 years. The pressure on me as secretary of state is to provide more services." Ilkeston once had three railway stations but lost the last one in 1967 after it was axed in the Beeching Report. The new building will be located near the site of Ilkeston's last station. It will have two platforms, automated ticket machines, a 150-space car park and a taxi rank. Jessica Lee, Conservative MP for Erewash, said: "This is fantastic news for Ilkeston. We need a station to help people get out and about for training and jobs and also to bring businesses into the town. I have no doubt at all, this is a real win for the town." Derbyshire County Council has agreed to provide £750,000 of funding for the station. Additional contributions will come from Erewash Borough Council and other funding sources. Glennice Birkin, a Labour county councillor for Ilkeston, said the fact the scheme was going ahead was wonderful news. "People have signed petitions for years and years to get a station in Ilkeston," she said. "I imagine it will be very popular." Other new stations to benefit from the funding were schemes in Newcourt in Devon, Lea Bridge in London and Pye Corner in Newport.

A new railway station is to be built in a Derbyshire town after the scheme got government backing.

Tom the cat had taken to the tree near his owner's home in Sawston, Cambridgeshire, on Friday, while being looked after by a neighbour. Having tried everything to get the forlorn feline down, they eventually called the RSPCA who turned to the county's fire service to rescue him. Tom was safely back on all four paws on solid ground after about an hour. Officers from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service came to Tom's rescue at about 13:45 BST on Wednesday. "The cat was about 40ft up in a tree. We had to cut through brambles to even get to the tree," crew commander Jason Leach said. "The owners were away on holiday and the neighbour who has been looking after him tried everything to get him down." The neighbour had done the right thing by not attempting to rescue the moggy themselves, he said. "It is important members of the public do not attempt to carry out rescues which could put themselves in danger," Mr Leach said. The cat was said to be none-the-worse for his ordeal, although "a little hungry". "We're happy Tom the cat is safe, and hopefully he won't go on any more adventures while his owner is on holiday," Mr Leach added.

A cat pining for its holidaying owners had to be rescued after spending six days stuck 40ft (12m) up a tree.

Fox-Pitt, 47, made the decision after his intended Badminton ride, Parklane Hawk, fell at a cross-country event at Weston Park earlier this month. In a message posted on his website he said: "I have decided that we have run out of time for Badminton." He won Badminton last year aboard the stallion Chilli Morning. Fox-Pitt, Britain's most successful rider with 20 major championship medals, was placed in an induced coma after a serious fall in France last October. The 2016 Badminton Horse Trials take place between 4-8 May.

Defending champion and Britain's former world number one William Fox-Pitt has withdrawn from next month's Badminton Horse Trials.

Charity Bristol Mediation has been given £10,000 of public money to "bring road users together". But doubts about the plan have united some. Cyclist Hugh Marshall called it a "cosmetic exercise" and the Alliance of British Drivers said "it's a joke". The council said it looked forward to "seeing positive results". Bristol Mediation, which helps neighbourhoods to resolve conflicts and disputes, is running the Road Sharing Restorative Approach scheme. It said the city was well known for its clogged streets as cars, bikes, buses, taxis and lorries competed for space which "can lead to road rage and conflict". Some road users who spoke to BBC Bristol did not think the project was a solution to the issue. Mr Marshall, who has been cycling for 40 years, said there had been an "explosion in cycling" in the past five years and suggested an adult cycling test. "Quite a good percentage of these new cyclists are either contemptuous of the Highway Code, or completely ignorant of the Highway Code," he said. Bob Bull, from the Alliance of British Drivers, said: "The problem is that cyclists can do what they like, where they like, when they like and there's no repercussions. That clearly isn't the case for motorists. "These are the circumstances that breed people's feelings, so you end up with the situation where motorists are seen as anti-cyclist. It's a complete waste of money." The project, which will also produce a short film, is one of several community safety projects to be awarded funding from the office of Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens. The council, part of the Safer Bristol Partnership which distributes the money, said it was "always supportive of any project that encourages positive relationships between all different road users".

Cyclists and drivers are being asked to find ways to share Bristol's "congested streets" without resorting to road rage.

Simon Chaplin, 62, of Hebron, rigged a bucket of diesel, a pump and pipes in his Peugeot 309. He activated it after a police officer tried to pull him over for speeding near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. Chaplin must do 100 hours unpaid work and was given six points on his licence at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday. PC Dafydd Burge of Dyfed-Powys Police said Chaplin filled the road with fumes as he followed him along country lanes. He finally pulled over after about five miles and PC Burge, who was forced to keep a distance from him, was able to follow the trail of smoke to find him. Chaplin was convicted of causing a danger to other road users by deliberately causing smoke to be emitted and admitted driving without insurance and threatening behaviour. He said he "sort of panicked" when he saw the policeman's flashing blue lights and told the court the device, which he borrowed from another man, was used to kill moles. Judge Elwen Evans QC, said: "It is in very unusual circumstances that you find yourself before the court. I do not want to see you here again."

A Carmarthenshire driver who tried to shake off a chasing police officer by deploying a smokescreen has been given a community order.

Medway NHS Foundation Trust said its death rate was now 100.19, almost in line with the national average of 100. The latest statistics were revealed weeks ahead of a full inspection of the hospital, which will take place at the end of the month. Medical director of Medway Maritime Hospital Diana Hamilton-Fairley said a range of changes had been put in place. "It's no secret that our high mortality rate was one of the overriding reasons we were placed into special measures back in 2013," she said. She said the NHS trust had made changes to ensure patients received safe and compassionate treatment with a better safety culture throughout the hospital, and a focus on recognising and responding quickly to patients whose conditions deteriorated. Staff had also been trained on using the National Early Warning Score which determines the severity of a patient's illness and when critical care is required, she added. New procedures had been brought in for emergency admissions, frail, elderly patients and those with chronic respiratory and cardiac conditions, she added. Ms Hamilton-Fairley said other positive outcomes had also been seen which the trust hoped would stand it in good stead for the forthcoming inspection. The hospital was placed in special measures after the Keogh review. Fourteen NHS trusts were found to have high death rates in 2010-11 and 2011-12, and 11 were placed in special measures.

A hospital placed in special measures because of high death rates has seen its mortality figures fall.

The 26-year-old Scot had previously won eight other world championship medals but clocked two minutes 54.369 seconds, to win the title, 0.12 seconds ahead of Canada's Marianne St-Gelais in second. She also reached the 500m final, but finished last of the four competitors. Christie has the chance of another gold in the 1000m on Sunday. "I never expected to win the 1500,'' said Christie. The world title represents an impressive resurgence from Christie, who said she was considering her future in the sport after being disqualified from all three of her events at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Livingston-born Christie has been focusing on the shorter distance events this season and has already set a new 500m world record of 42.335 seconds. In the 1500m final, South Korea's Shim Suk-hee was third with her compatriot and defending champion Choi Min-jeong a distant fifth. Christie was unable to challenge in the 500m final, recording a time of 43.835 seconds, with China's Kexin Fan winning in 43.605.

Elise Christie became the first British woman to win a World Short Track Speed Skating Championships title with victory in the 1500m in Rotterdam.

Several MPs are to put their concerns to Southern and Network Rail at a transport task force meeting. Southern was severely criticised before Christmas after passengers faced major delays because of signal faults. The operator said services had been hit by infrastructure and train problems and staffing issues. At the time, it apologised "for the level of service" passengers had experienced but said it was "working very hard on the prevention of further issues". Commuters in the South East have also suffered months of disruption because of rebuilding work at London Bridge. Conservative Maria Caulfield, who represents Lewes, said the meeting on 18 January would give the region's MPs a chance to question Network Rail and Southern about the situation. "As it is in the first few weeks of the new year we'll be able to see what improvements they've made." Ms Caulfield, tweeted that it was "almost quicker to fly to space station by rocket than get home to Lewes by train" the day after British astronaut Tim Peake took six-and-a-half hours to reach the International Space Station. She told the BBC constituents were missing flights from Gatwick and important meetings because of problems on the network. Southern services were also branded "an appalling joke" in parliament on 17 December by Labour MP for Streatham Chuka Umunna, and criticised by Reigate's Conservative MP Crispin Blunt. In May, figures from the Office of Rail and Road revealed a fifth of trains operated by Southern did not meet arrival time targets.

Railway bosses are to be quizzed about train services in the South East which were branded an "appalling joke" by MPs.

The London-born, USA-raised 21-year-old will count as a foreign import because of his overseas junior development. "My dad loves it," he said. "It's different from soccer, but he loves the intensity of it. "He's only an hour and a half away, so he'll be able to get to watch me play more than he's ever done." Asked whether his football-mad dad, a former Brentford trialist and passionate Celtic and Scotland fan, understands the game, Stewart added: "I've told him that, whenever we score, or the opposition score, he's just got to make sure he cheers for the right team." "Liam is a very important signing for us," said Blaze head coach Danny Stewart. "He adds to our depth which will be crucial next season." Blaze, who won the Elite League five times in eight seasons between 2003 and 2010, finished sixth last season. Liam Stewart first developed an interest in ice hockey after moving to America to live with his mother in Southern California at the age of three. He played at a junior level with the Spokane Chiefs, before making two play-off appearances for the Quad City Mallards, and then making 13 appearances last season for the Alaska Aces. "I was there for a couple of months before I got injured," he said. "The injury is fully recovered now and I am itching to get back on the ice to start the season."

Elite League side Coventry Blaze have signed Liam Stewart, son of music legend Rod and former model Rachel Hunter, for the 2016-17 season.

But Portugal will be without Bale's club-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been granted time off after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid. Hodgson thought facing Ronaldo would be good preparation for facing Bale. "We were thinking about Gareth Bale," Hodgson said when he explained why Portugal had been chosen as opponents. Bale, the world's most expensive player, scored seven goals in qualifying as Wales reached a major finals for the first time in 58 years. "Of course he [Ronaldo] has been an unbelievably influential figure for all the clubs he has played for and Portugal as well, and we were thinking that Gareth Bale is in a somewhat similar position," Hodgson said. "So when we thought Portugal, we were thinking not only about their technical qualities and the fact they are a very good football team, but they also have a special individual." Wales and England meet in Lens on 16 June in Group B, which also contains Slovakia and Russia. "I believe now that might not be the case [that Ronaldo will play] but we're happy with the two opponents we've had so far [Australia and Turkey]. They've certainly put us to the test," Hodgson said. "I've been able to use quite a lot of players in those two games and we expect another tough test [against Portugal]. "But if we can get through that test and come away satisfied with what we've done and I can be satisfied with what I've seen, then I'd have to say the three preparation games have served their purpose."

England manager Roy Hodgson says he had been hoping to use Thursday's friendly with Portugal as a dress rehearsal for dealing with Wales winger Gareth Bale.

The preliminary figures show that operating profit will be 6.1tn won ($5.1bn; £3.5bn) for the October to December period, from 5.29tn won a year earlier. Analysts had expected the amount to be 6.6tn won, fuelling growth concerns. Samsung products have been hit by weak demand in China and currency woes. Operating profit fell 7.5% from the previous quarter. Sales at the world's biggest maker of memory chips and smartphones also missed forecasts at 53tn won for the period. Samsung does not break down its earnings results in the preliminary report, leaving analysts to speculate on how each business division is doing. But analysts predict that the latest forecast is a sign that the tech giant will face another tough year of weaker gadget sales as the smartphone market is saturated. Samsung is facing stiff competition at the top end of the market from Apple, while cheaper Chinese rivals are gaining ground in the mid to low level range for mobile devices. On Monday, chief executive Kwon Oh-hyun had warned that the firm faced challenges on weak global economic growth prospects. Final earnings results for the quarter are due to be released at the end of January.

Samsung Electronics says its operating profit is likely to rise 15% in the fourth quarter from a year ago, missing market expectations.

The 23-year-old is a centre who can also play wing and full-back. Asquith has played for Australia Sevens and Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby. He said: "I believe that their style of play will suit my game and it will be beneficial for me to be able to develop my game alongside experienced players like British and Irish Lion Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams." Scarlets general manager of rugby Jon Daniels said: "He is a versatile player who can play right across the backline as well as giving us another kicking option. "Having experienced the Super Rugby and Australian Sevens environments Paul is keen to challenge himself in the northern hemisphere and we feel his skill set is a great match for our style of play."

Pro12 champions Scarlets have signed versatile back Paul Asquith from Australian club Western Sydney Rams.

People fled the airport on Sunday night amid the shooting reports, with scenes of abandoned luggage on pavements. Traffic to the terminal was halted and no flights were allowed to land, but operations have now resumed. LA police tweeted that no shots had been fired and there were no injuries. They are investigating the noises. The incident follows another case of panic at a US airport, when parts of New York's JFK airport were closed two weeks ago amid reports of gunfire that later proved to be false. The police and fire departments had deployed many units to the Los Angeles airport after reports of a "security situation" and a possible "active shooter". Los Angeles airport tweeted that an individual in a "Zorro" costume had been detained. Footage on social media showed the man sitting on a bench at a bus bay outside the airport, surrounded by armed police. He gets on the floor as requested and places his arms out wide before officers move in to detain him. It was unclear whether he was responsible for the noises. One passenger, Scott McDonald, told Associated Press he had been trying to disembark from a plane and had been told to get back on. He said he had seen many people gathered on the tarmac. Actress Anne Dudek told the LA Times she had been on an escalator when a man ran past saying people were being shot. "People started dropping bags and running out of the terminal," she said. "Panic spread." She said she had also left the terminal and run through a parking area to her car and left the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily held some Los Angeles-bound flights. Passengers were later allowed to return to the terminal to gather luggage left behind. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the world's seventh busiest by traffic.

Unconfirmed reports of gunshots, later described by police as just "loud noises", have sparked evacuations at Los Angeles airport.

About 120 pupils and staff at the Bristol Brunel Academy in Speedwell who had come into contact with the person involved were tested for the condition. Several people were, however, found to have a "latent" version of the disease. This means they could have been exposed to the bacteria at any time in their lives but are not a risk to others. However, there is a small chance that they may go on to develop active TB later on in life. The Health Protection Agency (HPA), which carried out the screenings, has treated those found to have the latent version of the disease with a routine course of antibiotics to clear it. TB is a serious but curable infectious disease which normally affects the lungs. The HPA's Dr Bharat Pankhania, said: "Our tests are very sensitive and pick up evidence if you have ever been exposed to TB bacteria at any time in your life. These bacteria are hidden away inside you and may never cause illness or disease. "But we further assess these people and make absolutely sure that they don't have any evidence of illness. "I am reassured that a transmission has not been occurring at the school." Principal Brigid Allen said: "The results of the screening show that TB has not been transmitted amongst either our pupils or our staff and we want to reassure parents that there is nothing to worry about. "We're so pleased and want to thank the HPA for their help in all this."

A tuberculosis (TB) screening exercise at a Bristol school has found the disease has not been transmitted after a case in March.

The lodge resort development on the outskirts of Holyhead was given the go-ahead in autumn 2013 after initially being turned down. But developers had to agree to pay towards a community programme as part of the project. It will see investment in education, medical services and a leisure centre. As well as a 500 holiday lodge village on land at Penrhos country park, up to 320 houses will be built in the Kingsland area of Holyhead. Much of the accommodation will initially be used to house the thousands of workers expected to be needed for a new nuclear power station at Wylfa. Councillors were told that the developers had agreed to put £1.5m into education in the Kingsland area to help address additional pressures brought by the new planned housing. A further £600,000 will be invested in medical services in the area, while about £1m will be spent mitigating any impact on tourism on the island while construction is ongoing. As part of the agreement, money will also be spent relocating library facilities and meeting the cost of extra pressures on the emergency services on the island. The developers are also committed to funding a 690 sq-m public leisure centre and spending more than £500,000 on swimming provision. The package of 32 measures was backed by the meeting of the island's planning committee on Wednesday. The overall Land and Lakes project is expected to cost about £120m, creating up to 600 jobs. As part of deal, the developers are also committed to ensuring up to 80% of the workforce is local.

A deal that will see a holiday park developer invest more than £4m in an Anglesey community has been agreed by the island's council.

Howard Gayle, 58, was born in Toxteth and made his Reds debut in 1977. He said he had to decline the nomination, for his Show Racism the Red Card campaign work, as his ancestors would be "turning in their graves". The Cabinet Office said it did not comment on individual cases. The former footballer wrote on Facebook: "Most of you who are on my FB page are aware of the work that I do tackling racism and the work I do for Show Racism A Red Card. And for that work yesterday I was nominated for a MBE." He added: "Which unfortunately I had to decline the nomination for the reason that my ancestors would be turning in their graves after how Empire and Colonialism had enslaved them. "This is a decision that I have had to make and there will be others who may feel different and would enjoy the attraction of being a Member of the British Empire and those 3 letters after their name, but I feel that It would be a betrayal to all of the Africans who have lost their lives, or who have suffered as a result of Empire." As well as representing England at Under-21 level, Gayle played for Blackburn Rovers, Fulham, Birmingham City, Halifax Town, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Stoke City. Facebook users reacted to the post, saying "respect" and calling the former Liverpool star a man of principle. Paul Al-Naqib wrote: "So sad that a history of oppression can still have a negative effect today... years after. "You are a good honest man... many crumble and forget their morals when presented with their pieces of silver. You'll always be Sir Howard Gayle of Tocky to me." Kenny Norton added: "You don't need an MBE to be the person you are. Well done Howard." Kevin Edgar wrote: "Takes a lot of mental strength and self belief that Howard. Standing up for what you believe has real dignity too." The UK honours system is overseen by the Cabinet Office Honours and Appointments Secretariat.

The first black footballer to play for Liverpool has turned down an MBE nomination, saying it would be "a betrayal" to Africans who suffered at the hands of the British Empire.

The Agatha Christie: A Life in Photographs exhibition runs at National Museum Cardiff from Saturday until 3 September. It shines a light on her family life, marriages and international adventures. The queen of crime's grandson Mathew Pritchard said relatives were "delighted" to share the pictures. Director general of the museum, David Anderson, said: "This is a beautifully curated exhibition which gives us an insight of Agatha Chirstie's life in photographs. "The vivid images, accompanied by quotes in her own words, convey her humour and intelligence, as well as her love of travel and adventure. I hope our visitors enjoy a look into the extraordinary life of the most-widely published author of all time." Each image is accompanied by a quote in Christie's own words, drawn from both published works and unpublished personal correspondence, capturing her thoughts and feelings. In one, she says: "Nothing has surprised me more in life than to have become a famous authoress - I sometimes can't believe it's really me". Family photos show Christie as an energetic and adventurous young woman, with photographs of her surfing on an idyllic Muizenberg beach in South Africa and roller-skating on Torquay pier. A timeline will also mark the key milestones in her life, including the first performance of the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap, and the publication of her seminal works, such as Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None. Chtistie, a crime novelist, short story writer and playwright, is best known for 66 novels and short story collections. She is widely cited as the best-selling author of fiction of all time, with an estimated two billion sales worldwide.

Photographs from the private collection of legendary crime author Agatha Christie are to be displayed in Cardiff.

The former deputy prime minister lost his five advisory roles after voting against the government in the House of Lords over Brexit on Tuesday night. He had been due to visit Swansea today in his role advising on a proposed £1.3bn investment deal for the region. Minister Guto Bebb said he was "confident" the deal would go ahead. During Welsh Questions in the Commons on Wednesday, Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts had asked the minister "what hope we have of securing similar deals for the rest of Wales if experts are axed at the whim of an insecure executive fearful of parliamentary sovereignty?" In reply, Mr Bebb described the Swansea region city deal as a "bottom-up agenda", adding that Lord Heseltine contributed "significant expertise" at a "challenge' session. "I am confident we will have a city deal for the Swansea city region," he said. "We will have further growth deals for Wales as a result of the work that this government is doing to ensure that Wales benefits from investment in the same way as this as any other part of the United Kingdom." A UK Government spokesman said: "Lord Heseltine provided useful input to the Swansea City Deal project. "However the decision over his role as government adviser does not impact on the city deal. "We will keep working to ensure we meet the Secretary of State for Wales' ambition to turn a good proposal into a great one." Lord Heseltine told the BBC he felt "great disappointment" to be sacked as an advisor, but defended his rebellion on Brexit, saying Europe was the "transcending issue of our time".

A Wales Office minister has told MPs he is confident a Swansea city deal will go ahead despite the sacking of Lord Heseltine as a government advisor.

Culture Secretary Sajid Javid, joining the election campaign in Wales, said it can bring people together and celebrate "our unity through diversity". The Games, which were held in Cardiff in 1958, could also give an economic boost to Wales, the Tories have said. Cardiff council and the Welsh government have been exploring a possible bid for 2026. Speaking ahead of his visit to Wales on Monday, Mr Javid said: "Wales has always played an important role in the Commonwealth and having hosted the games over 60 years ago - I think it's time it came back and I'm glad to see the Welsh Conservatives will be working to make this happen. "The Commonwealth Games is about bringing people together and celebrating our unity through diversity and sport is one of the very best ways to do that." He added: "I really hope that Wales is successful in its bid. I know well how passionate the Welsh people are about sport and I know they will want to see this bid made a reality." Elsewhere on the campaign trail, Welsh Labour will bid for the support of older voters, saying it will keep free bus passes and TV licences. Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood welcomed support from SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon for parity of powers and funding for Wales with Scotland. "Just as the SNP is doing for Scotland, Plaid Cymru is fighting for the best deal possible for Wales in this election," she said. The Lib Dems are expected to restate their opposition to regional pay in the public sector. Meanwhile Monday marks the deadline for registering to vote in the election on May 7.

The Conservatives have said they will back a bid to bring the Commonwealth Games to Wales.

Gillesphey, 20, made 27 appearances and scored two goals for the Cumbrians during a loan spell last season. "He is a young man who I think is going to have a very bright future," Carlisle boss Keith Curle told the club website. "It's excellent that we can be part of his development. We're forging links with a fantastic club in Newcastle." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Pre-tax losses were £6.7m in the year to March 2016, from £2.9m the previous year. Revenues rose 25.7% to £599.2m. AO World said the widening losses reflected "investment and trading losses incurred in Germany and start-up costs in other European territories". The retailer also announced it had appointed a new chairman. Geoff Cooper, who currently works at Card Factory, is to be the new chairman, succeeding Richard Rose who will step down from the position next month. AO World said it was growing its market share in all its product categories and added that it planned to start selling computers. "Computing is a natural extension of our current categories and there is good potential for cross-selling to our existing customer base, making it an exciting opportunity for the business," said chief executive John Roberts. AO World said it was still "in a start-up phase" in Europe, but its German business AO.de was "gaining traction with customers," while early signs at its Netherlands business, launched in March, were encouraging. The firm floated on the stock exchange in 2014 with a market capitalisation of £1.2bn, a figure that surprised the City given its profits of less than £8m in 2013. AO World's shares were priced at 285p each when it floated on the market. The shares were trading at about 165p on Wednesday, down 1% on the day.

AO World, the online domestic appliance retailer, has reported deeper full-year losses, citing start-up costs and investment from its push into Europe.

Anthony Charnock, 82, was not used to his new Skoda's automatic gearbox when he crashed into the Hungerford branch of Tesco on 8 December. His wife Colombine, 86, was a passenger in the car and died of her injuries, Reading Coroner's Court heard. The coroner recorded a conclusion of death by road traffic collision. More on this and other stories from across the south of England. The inquest was told that Mr Charnock was attempting to park in a blue badge space when witnesses described his car crashing into a number of vehicles before hitting the front of the store. He suffered only minor injuries. Mr Charnock, who said he had no memories of the events immediately before the crash, was inexperienced at using his Skoda Yeti, the court heard. He added that he had since surrendered his license and never wanted to drive again. The car did not have any defects and there was no medical reason for the crash, the court heard. David Russell, a police forensic vehicle advisor, said the collision was the result of "unintended acceleration". He said it was a "well-known, common scenario" particularly with older or younger people driving automatic cars. Berkshire coroner Peter Bedford praised nurse Rachel Davies who was shopping in Tesco and administered emergency treatment immediately after the crash. Previously Mr Charnock's family paid tribute to his partner as a "beloved wife, mother and grandmother".

An elderly woman was fatally injured when her husband crashed their car by stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake, an inquest heard.

It will now allow the import of beef from cattle up to 30 months old. Japan banned US beef imports in 2003 after the outbreak of mad cow disease. It restarted imports in 2006, but only from cattle less than 20 months of age. US officials said the move was likely to boost US beef exports to Japan by "hundreds of millions" of dollars. Ron Kirk, the US trade representative said the decision by Japan was "great news for American ranchers and beef companies". Japan has also eased restrictions on beef imports from Canada, France and the Netherlands. The new rules will take effect from 1 February. Before the ban in 2003, Japan was one of the biggest markets for US beef exports. However, the ban resulted in other beef exporting countries such as Australia increasing their presence in Japan. Since the lifting of the ban in 2006, US firms have been trying to regain their share of the Japanese market. They have achieved some success and US exports to Japan have been rising. However, shipments are yet to reach the levels seen before 2003. "This move is an important step forward in paving the way toward greater export opportunities to one of our largest export markets," said J D Alexander, president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. However, some analysts were sceptical about whether the easing of restrictions would have an immediate impact on US beef exports. "Australia is not just going to give up the market share they've gained," said Lee Schulz, a livestock economist at Iowa State University.

Japan has opened the door for increased imports of beef from the US, as it eased restrictions that have been in place for almost a decade.

The family of Lilian Williams, from Porthcawl, complained of neglect to South Wales Police in September 2013. She was admitted to Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, and Neath Port Talbot Hospital between 2010 and 2012. Three nurses have already pleaded guilty to wilful neglect of patients. Another two are due to go on trial later this year The force has met with Mrs Williams' family to discuss the decision, following their investigation. Mrs Williams' son Gareth said: "Since my mother's case was first publicised by the BBC, we are aware of several dozen other families who have contacted us expressing serious current ongoing concerns about the hospital. "We implore them to do as we did and report them to South Wales Police. The number of seriously alarming cases that are still being reported to us on an almost daily basis is disturbing." Det Ch Insp Mark Lewis said: "A separate investigation specifically investigating the monitoring of blood sugar levels by nurses within Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University has previously led to three nurses pleading guilty to the wilful neglect of patients, one of whom was Lilian Williams." In a statement, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board said it is hoped it would end "rumours and speculation". A spokesman added: "Notwithstanding the outcome of the police investigation we accept that there were significant shortcomings in Mrs Williams' care, which we very much regret and for which we have apologised to Mr Williams."

Police will not pursue further prosecutions over treatment of an elderly patient at two hospitals.

The 57-year-old's latest mission lasted 168 days, bringing his total to 879 days in space over five trips. This is two months longer than the previous record set in 2005 by Russian Sergei Krikalev over six missions. Mr Padalka and two other members from the International Space Station (ISS) landed safely in Kazakhstan on their Soyuz spacecraft just before sunrise. The capsule descended after re-entering the Earth's atmosphere under a parachute. Gennady Padalka What are the challenges of living in space? A ground crew rushed to welcome and extract the three astronauts from the charred spacecraft and medics checked their condition. "I am fine," Mr Padalka told them as he sipped tea and ate an apple, the AFP news agency reports. Mr Padalka's companions - Andreas Mogensen from Denmark and Kazakh Aidyn Aimbetov - are both novices in comparison, having only spent 10 days in orbit on what was their first mission. Mr Aimbetov had travelled in place of British soprano Sarah Brightman, who had been due to made the trip as a space tourist but withdrew from training in May citing family reasons. Six astronauts now remain on the ISS, including Nasa's Scott Kelly and Russia's Mikhail Kornienko, who began a 12-month tour of duty in March - the longest continuous stay anyone would have been aboard the 400km-high (250 mile) orbiting platform.

Russian astronaut Gennady Padalka has returned to Earth with the record for having spent the most time in space.

Governing parties don't gain seats. Parties that have implemented painful cuts and are promising more certainly don't. Until that is the Conservative Party did - achieving what had seemed to be Mission Impossible - a Tory majority. Until that is David Cameron's personal triumph which triggered the near simultaneous resignation of his three principal opponents - Messrs Miliband, Clegg and Farage. They did so in part because they helped to crush their partners in coalition these last five years - reducing the Liberal Democrat parliamentary party to a size when it can fit into two London taxis and still have two seats to spare. In part because the extraordinary tidal wave of support for the SNP swept dozens of once safe Labour seats away. In part because Nigel Farage persuaded millions to vote for him but secured just one seat - not, though, the one he was standing in. But - and this is critical - because Labour performed worse overall than it had under Gordon Brown in the immediate aftermath of the worst financial crisis of modern times. The result - the men who thought that today or sometime soon they'd be running this country's economic and foreign policies have now joined the unemployment register.

Mzee Mohammed, 18, was seen with a knife "behaving erratically" at Liverpool One before officers were called to the scene. His mother Karla told the Liverpool Echo her son was a "gentle giant" and she believed police and security staff had "questions to answer". The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating. Follow the latest updates on this story At the family home in Kensington, Mr Mohammed's mother said her son had "a troubled past" but "he got past that". He had no pre-existing medical conditions, she said. A Merseyside Police statement said a man had run into a house in the Toxteth area of the city in "a distressed state". Later, a man was seen with a knife "behaving erratically" at a number of locations in the city centre, it added. Officers located him near Liverpool One where he was detained by security staff. Police said the man was "suffering a medical episode" and was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead at about 19:55 BST. As with all deaths in custody, Merseyside Police's professional standards department was obliged to notify the IPCC of the incident. Inquest - a charity which provides advice to people bereaved by a death in custody - said there needed to be "the most thorough and robust scrutiny of the actions of the security guards and the police" who were in contact with Mr Mohammed before his death. His family must be supported to find out how and why he died, a statement added. Race relations activist Lee Jasper, said: "I don't think anybody has got any confidence in the IPCC to investigate these critical incidents. "The IPCC needs to be transparent and engender trust and confidence in the wider community." Merseyside's Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy said the IPCC investigation would "examine the full circumstances of what happened". The young man's family can take some comfort from knowing it will answer any questions that they may have, she added. "Merseyside Police and I will do everything in our power to ensure the man's loved ones and the local community are fully engaged. Merseyside Police and community leaders in Liverpool 8 have worked hard to build a strong relationship based on mutual confidence and trust." A post-mortem examination is due to take place.

They also agreed, by 97-2, to set up a process by which Congress can block any attempt by President Trump to scale back those sanctions. The legislation was filed as an amendment to an Iran sanctions bill. It comes amid concerns that members of Mr Trump's campaign team colluded with Russia over the election. President Trump and Moscow have always denied any collusion. A number of investigations into the allegations have been opened in Washington, including a justice department probe led by former FBI director Robert Mueller. The new sanctions will target: The measures need the approval of the House of Representatives and to be signed into law by President Trump, although they are thought to have enough Congressional support to override any veto. The Senate vote was welcomed by both Republicans and Democrats. "It's time to respond to Russia's attack on American democracy with strength, with resolve, with common purpose, and with action," said Republican Senator John McCain. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer called it as "bipartisan as it gets". The only two senators not to vote for the bill were Republicans Rand Paul and Mike Lee. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had agreed "with the sentiment" of holding Russia accountable but had urged Congress not to pass any legislation that could harm a "constructive dialogue" with Moscow. US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been one of Trump's team facing allegations of holding undisclosed meetings with Russian officials during the election. He told a Senate committee on Tuesday that any suggestion he colluded with the Kremlin was an "appalling and detestable lie".

US senators have voted overwhelmingly to impose fresh sanctions on Russia over its alleged interference in last year's election.

The yellow sign outside Highfield Community Primary School, Blacon, near the Welsh border, was meant to read "clear" but instead said "claer". "Claer" has no meaning in English or across the border in Wales. The sign was wrongly painted on Tuesday and corrected at no cost to Cheshire West and Chester Council earlier.

Children were given a lesson in how not to spell when council contractors bungled a painted road sign outside their Chester school.

Shayne Barwick bowled for 73 hours in the remote Queensland town of Cloncurry, 1700km (1056 miles) northwest of Brisbane. Mr Barwick, who was raising money for his club, believed 73 hours was the current record. But he said he "really put his foot in it" after learning a singles bowling record did not exist. "I was reading in the Guinness Book of rules and regulations and I thought it said 73 hours to beat (the record). But it wasn't - it was the age of some bloke," Mr Barwick told The North West Star. "I'm going to the pub with my mates (to) have a beer, have a cigar and relax." The Cloncurry Bowls Club said Mr Barwick was now the "Guinness World Record holder", but a spokeswoman for the company could not immediately confirm the claim. Starting at 09:00 on Friday (22:00 GMT on Thursday), the 46-year-old club manager was allowed a 10-minute break every four hours. He was brought water and food on the green, while an ambulance crew was on standby. Mr Barwick rolled his final ball at 10:00 on Monday, cheered on by what the local newspaper called "seemingly half the town". "It's a superhuman effort, there's no other term for it," Cloncurry mayor Gregory Campbell told the BBC. "I've done some pretty long stints at work but never anything that comes close to 73 hours." Mr Barwick hoped to raise A$20,000 (£12,000; $15,000).

A man in Australia has attempted to set a world record by playing lawn bowls continuously for three days.

But, bosses said there had been "no major impact" on the business. "Like many organisations our plant was subject to a ransomware attack affecting some of our systems on Friday evening," a spokeswoman confirmed. The government's emergency committee, COBRA, is due to meet to discuss the global cyber attack which also disabled NHS computers in England and Scotland. The situation at the Wearside plant is "continuing to be monitored", but in line with normal weekend procedures no car production was taking place, the spokeswoman added. Cyber-security firm Avast said it had seen 75,000 cases of the ransomware - known as WannaCry and variants of that name - around the world. The attack that also hit about 40 NHS organisations was "unprecedented" in scale, Europe's police agency says.

Car firm Nissan's Sunderland plant has been hit by the worldwide ransomware attack with production affected.

The men were told they could not board the Monarch flight to Dalaman at 07:00 BST after arriving at the gate late. The pair "talked themselves into being arrested" for being drunk and disorderly, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. The rest of the family continued with their flight from Manchester Airport. In a Facebook post, GMP said the pair, aged 60 and 27, had "let the drink get the better of them". "The flight wasn't delayed as they didn't get there on time," the force said. "However, the other members of the party did and should be shortly landing in Turkey to enjoy their holiday."

A father and son who spent "too much time in the bar" were refused on a flight to Turkey - despite the rest of their family being onboard.

Human population growth and international travel have helped the bug become a source of irritation in hotel rooms around the world. Insecticides are the most common way to kill them, but they have rapidly developed resistance. Now, an Australian team writing in Plos One journal thinks it has found one of the reasons why. Killing resistant strains of the bug may require concentrations 1,000 times larger than those needed to eliminate non-resistant creatures. Infestations have spread to homes and offices and the bugs are extremely hard to get rid of once they gain a foothold. They can survive for up to a year without feeding and a single fertilised female can infest a whole building. While they were a common part of life in the 1940s and 50s, the introduction of DDT and other powerful insecticides initially restricted their populations. But there was a resurgence as the bugs quickly developed resistance to DDT and subsequent classes of chemicals deployed to kill them. Like all insects, bed bugs are covered by an exoskeleton called a cuticle. Using scanning electron microscopy, David Lilly from the University of Sydney and colleagues compared the thickness of cuticles taken from bed bugs that were resistant to insecticides with cuticles from those that were more easily killed by insecticides. The results showed that the thicker the cuticle, the more likely the bugs were to be resistant to insecticides. "One way bed bugs beat insecticides is by developing a thicker 'skin'," said co-author Mr Lilly, a PhD candidate. The researchers say the results could explain why bed bug infestations are so difficult to control and could assist the search for more effective strategies. "If we understand the biological mechanisms bed bugs use to beat insecticides, we may be able to spot a chink in their armour," said David Lilly. However, there may be other ways that the organisms beat widely used bug sprays. Another team of scientists in the US thinks that bugs there may be able to produce large quantities of enzymes that break down toxic chemicals, including insecticides. iWonder: Is my house crawling with pests?

Bed bugs might be developing thicker "skins" to help them survive exposure to common insecticides.

Thomas Gallagher, 16, was discovered by a member of the public in Old Kays Park in Tottington, Bury, in July 2015. An inquest concluded the schoolboy took his own life and police shortcomings did not contribute to his death. But an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report found Greater Manchester Police's (GMP) conduct was "below the standard expected." The teenager's parents criticised police, saying there had been serious failings in the handling of the case, the Manchester Evening News reports. In a statement they said: "We explained his vulnerabilities concerning his recent mental health history. Subsequently two members of the public found Tom five hours later. GMP failed to respond at all." The IPCC found police delayed looking for the schoolboy because of staffing shortages in the Bury division, which were "foreseeable". "No officers were deployed...until the discovery of Thomas' body some five hours later," the investigator found. The report said the response of four officers and a radio operator was "unsatisfactory". It said the conduct of an inspector, a police sergeant, an acting police sergeant, a police constable and a civilian radio operator, "whilst not amounting to misconduct, did fall below the standard expected." IPCC Associate Commissioner, Guido Liguori, recommended GMP "should address" the "under-resourcing" of the police division in Bury as well as "ensuring police officers and staff are properly supported" for "the benefit of the local community." Ch Supt Chris Sykes from GMP's Bury division said: "Thomas Gallagher's death was a tragedy and our deepest condolences remain with his family. "Unfortunately, it was not possible for GMP to resource the original missing report, due to staff abstractions and a higher than usual number of incidents on the night." Changes have already been implemented in Bury, including new shift patterns, to ensure the force could respond to unanticipated spikes in demand in future, he added. He said: "Whilst the jury concluded that none of the shortcomings in GMP's response caused or contributed in any way to Tom's death, we fully acknowledge the comments made by the jury in delivering their conclusion at today's inquest. We will also await the coroner's report on any recommendations."

No officers were deployed to search for a vulnerable teenager who was later found dead, the police watchdog said.

The International Judo Federation said the 16-year-old must fight without the headscarf for safety reasons, but the Saudis threatened to withdraw Shaherkani. An International Olympic Committee spokesman said: "The judo federation will allow her to wear something which will not compromise her safety, which I think they use for competitions in Asia." A Saudi official said earlier this month that the country's two female athletes at London 2012 - Shaherkani and 800m runner Sarah Attar - must obey Islamic dress codes. But judo officials claimed a headscarf could cause choking, in a sport that involves grabbing and throwing. Shaherkani will fight Puerto Rico's Melissa Mojica, ranked 13 in the world, in the first round of the +78kg category on Friday. There is almost no public tradition of women participating in sport in Saudi Arabia, who have found it difficult to select athletes for the London Games who met the minimum qualifying standards.

Saudi Arabia judoka Wojdan Shaherkani will compete at the Olympics after a dispute over a hijab was resolved.

20 December 2015 Last updated at 13:02 GMT Andrew Russell, 36, was found unconscious in a car park on Bradshaw Way, in Derby, shortly before 02:00 on 16 November. He was taken to hospital but later died. Det Insp Graham Prince, of Derbyshire Police, said: "We are trying to trace a number of cars seen driving along London Road between 1.30am and 2.15am that morning, along with several lone people walking down the road during the same time period. "These people have yet to come forward and they could have information which may help with the inquiry." A 41-year-old man has been charged in connection with the alleged attack.

Detectives investigating a fatal assault have released CCTV footage of potential witnesses who have yet to come forward.

Thieves attempted to steal a cash machine at the Sainsbury's on Station Road at 03:30 on 17 October. Officers said the van may have been in Airth, near Falkirk, before or after the crime in Kinross took place. The van has a blue, white and grey logo of "Bishop Auckland Car & Van Hire" on the side. Det Insp Nicola McGovern said: "Extensive inquiries have already been carried out into this crime and this vehicle is of significant interest to the investigation. "It is important that we identify exactly where this van was overnight between the Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October." Anyone with information is asked to contact the police.

Police investigating the attempted theft of a cash machine in Kinross have said they are looking for a distinctive white van.

The accident happened at about 09:15 GMT on Friday on the Saltway - an unclassified road near Northleach. The woman, from Cheltenham, was driving the car and suffered fatal injuries in the crash, Gloucestershire Constabulary said. Anyone who witnessed the crash has been asked to contact the force with information.

All O'Keefe's scalps came as India lost seven wickets for 11 runs to be 105 all out - captain Virat Kohli making his first Test duck in 45 innings. Australia, bowled out for 260 in their first innings, then moved to 143-4 to lead by 298 runs. Captain Steve Smith, dropped three times, was unbeaten on 59 at the end of day on which 15 wickets fell. O'Keefe claimed three wickets in one over, first dismissing top-scorer KL Rahul (64) before Ajinkya Rahane and Wriddhiman Saha fell for ducks. All of his six wickets came in the space of 24 deliveries as the 32-year-old claimed career-best figures in his fifth Test. Despite Ravichandran Ashwin dismissing David Warner (10) and Shaun Marsh for a duck, Smith and Matt Renshaw (31) steadied the innings to put Australia on top. Only one team has chased more than 300 to win a Test in India - India scored 387 to beat England by six wickets in 2008.

Left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe took 6-35 to give Australia control of the first Test against India in Pune.

The man died at the scene at about 05:20 BST. Police are investigating any link to a crash minutes earlier on a bridge over the motorway. Both incidents were close to junction 23 in Leicestershire with the first crash involving one vehicle. The northbound motorway and the nearby A512 were reopened by 14:30. Vehicles trapped in the tailbacks were taken off the motorway by police. The Highways Agency said there was still congestion in the area but this should ease by 15:30.

Settlements were reached in cases brought against Wallace High School, Lisburn, St Brigid's College, Londonderry, and Lislagan Primary School in Ballymoney. The schools had been identified as suitable by the education authorities. The families ended up sending their children to alternative schools. The families brought cases against each school to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal with the support of the Equality Commission. The Equality Commission said the schools had also agreed to work with the commission to ensure their procedures and policies conform with the law. Michael Wardlow, chief commissioner with the Equality Commission, said there was a "lesson from these cases for every school". "When a disabled child applies for a place, they should proactively give proper consideration to how they can adapt to meet the needs of that pupil. "These are children who have enough barriers facing them in life. "They don't need the additional barriers that can be thrown up when schools decide that their needs cannot be accommodated." He added: "The children who are at the heart of each case have moved on with their education and we wish them well as they progress through life. "By challenging the decisions which were taken they, and their families, hope to ensure that other children, in similar circumstances, can avoid the additional, and unnecessary, difficulties which were placed before them." Wallace High School said that a £3.2m investment in a school enhancement programme would secure a "significant improvement in disability access for all young people, staff, parents and other visitors to our school".

Three schools have apologised to the families of children with special educational needs after initially refusing to accept them as pupils.

WRU Chairman Gareth Davies confirmed the move was made after regions had "upped the ante" over the Wales international's contract. At least one other Welsh region has shown an interest in Williams, whose current contract ends next summer. "It's over to the regions really to try and hopefully keep Scott Williams," Davies told Radio Wales Sport. "The central contract from the union has been withdrawn after some of the regions started upping the ante, as it were." The union's offer would have kept the player at the Scarlets. Dual contracts are funded 60% by the WRU and 40% by the region, and Davies' comments suggest the regions are offering bigger deals than the one they put on the table. It also hints that the WRU are not prepared to get involved in an auction of escalating bids. However, it appears that the player will stay in Wales, but with a region paying his contract in full. That situation would not upset the governing body, who set up the dual contracts to stop players moving abroad. "It's difficult because we can't centrally contract everybody because of the funding issues - some players will be, some won't be," added Davies. "But the important thing is that between the union and the regions that we work together to ensure that we can retain as many of the top stars as possible, and the youngsters coming through as well."

The Welsh Rugby Union have withdrawn an offer of a dual contract for Scarlets centre Scott Williams.

Lynn Harter found the sepia card from Edinburgh among birthday cards that came through her letterbox in Garstang. "I thought at first a friend knowing my interest in history had sent it," the former town councillor said. But when she examined the card closely she found it had a 1955 postmark and was addressed to a Mr and Mrs Phillipson. The postcard of Edinburgh Castle, which was addressed to the couple at Bridgefield, Kepple Lane, reads: "I am having a great holiday here, staying with friends. The weather is good and doing lots of sightseeing. Trust you are both keeping well, my love and best wishes Madge Johnson." Mrs Harter checked the deeds of her home to find Mr and Mrs William Phillipson bought it in 1943. She said: "Interestingly Mrs Helen Phillipson died in 1951 so either the sender of the postcard, Madge Johnson, didn't know she'd died, or William may have married again?" Mr Phillipson died in 1961. Mrs Harter said: "A friend of mine who is a postman said there are several reasons it may have taken so long. It could have been found by someone who just forwarded it or it could have got lodged in an old sorting machine and only unearthed when the machine was changed." A keen local historian, Mrs Harter found out Mr Phillipson had moved to Garstang after retiring from the police force in Bolton. "I know he kept a horse in a stable at the back of the bungalow and I have heard stories about a former policeman who used to ride a horse bareback through Garstang," she said.

A postcard sent from Scotland to Lancashire has arrived at its destination 62 years later.

The Principality Stadium's gates open at 17:30 BST on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the support act starting at 19:00 and Coldplay on stage at about 20:30. Those driving to Cardiff are urged to use a park-and-ride at Cardiff City Stadium. Visitors by train have been strongly advised to leave plenty of time, with the network expected to be busy. The Principality Stadium, which will have its roof open for the concert, has issued new policies on bringing bags into the stadium, as well as information on prohibited items and body searches. Only small bags, no larger than 35cm (13in) x 40cm (15in) x 19cm (7in), will be allowed into the stadium. A queuing system will run at Cardiff Central Station. Queen Street Station will close at 21.45. All train passengers are advised to buy a ticket before they board a train. Road closures Scott Road and Park Street will be closed earlier on each day to allow for a barrier system to be put up on the approach to gate five. A full programme of city centre road closures will be in place from 18:00 until 23:30, including: The following roads will be closed in their entirety: Duke Street, Castle Street, High Street, St Mary Street, Caroline Street, Wood Street, Central Square, Westgate Street, Quay Street, Guildhall Place, Golate, Park Street, Havelock Street and Scott Road. The following roads will be closed from 21:00 until 23.30: Saunders Road from the junction with St Mary Street, Customhouse Street, throughout its length and Penarth Road, from the junction with Saunders Road to the entrance leading to the back of Cardiff Central station. Buses Buses will be diverted out of the central city centre bus stops. Those displaced from stops within the closure will relocate to either Churchill Way for the east, Greyfriars Road, for the north, and Tudor Street, for the west.

Cardiff city centre roads will be shut as 60,000 people head to the capital for each of Coldplay's two concerts.

The smart tank has a camera that detects the fish's movements and makes it travel in the direction the fish is swimming. Thomas De Wolf from Studio Diip, the company that invented it, says he wanted to bring fun back to technology. The company are working on this version of the tank to protect the fish from becoming stressed if they go too fast.

A design team have built a tank on wheels that gives fish a chance to 'drive' around on land.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has been granted permission by Westminster City Council to replace the Warner Stand at the London ground. The MCC said the new structure, which includes a 135-seat restaurant with views of the ground, will improve sight-lines and accessibility. Work is set to begin on the £21m project at the end of the 2015 season. The redevelopment must first be approved by the club's membership, with the committee set to seek approval at a special general meeting in the summer of 2015. The current Warner Stand was built in 1958 and its replacement is the first phase of development in the 15-year Masterplan for Lord's, which was unveiled last May. MCC chief executive Derek Brewer said the club "wants Lord's to be the world's finest cricket ground and this new stand combines the best in architecture with world-class facilities to help achieve that". "Lord's celebrates its 200th birthday this year and we have a duty to ensure any changes made to the ground will stand the test of time and bring long-term benefits." He added the MCC, who remain the guardians of the laws and spirit of cricket, will continue to consult with local residents in St John's Wood about the ground's redevelopment.

Plans to redevelop a stand at Lord's, the home of cricket, have been given the go-ahead.

Brady's ban was overturned in September by a federal judge, who said the NFL's ruling had "legal deficiencies". But the NFL's subsequent appeal was upheld on Monday. Brady is now set to miss the first four games of the 2016 season, which starts in September. The four-time Super Bowl winner, considered one of the best ever quarterbacks, maintains neither he nor the club did anything wrong. The Patriots won the match in question - against Indianapolis Colts in January 2015 - 45-7, and then won the Super Bowl. The league fined the Patriots a record $1m (£660,000) and stripped the team of two draft picks, with its report finding Brady was "generally aware" of the scheme. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's inquiry concluded Brady "knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards" to ensure balls were deflated. But US District Judge Richard Berman found the league's disciplinary process was "fundamentally unfair" and there were "several significant legal deficiencies" in the penalty issued by Goodell - including failing to notify Brady about the possibility of a punishment. After his ban was lifted in September, Brady played the full season - his 16th as a professional footballer. He said at the time: "I don't think it has been good for our sport, to a large degree, we have all lost." Deflated balls are considered easier to throw and catch.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has had a four-game ban restored over allegations footballs were deliberately under-inflated before an NFL play-off game last year.

Lonnie David Franklin Jr killed nine women and a 15-year-old girl between 1985 and 2007, before dumping their bodies, often in alleyways. The sentence against the 63-year-old was decided by a jury. Franklin was convicted last month. He will be formally sentenced at a later hearing. Prosecutors said Franklin stalked vulnerable young black women before shooting or strangling them. He began by targeting drug addicts during LA's crack cocaine epidemic. He was also convicted of the attempted murder of an 11th victim who survived being shot, raped and pushed out of a car in 1988. He was dubbed the Grim Sleeper because of an apparent 14-year gap in attacks after that incident. Franklin was eventually caught after detectives began working on the final killing in 2007 when DNA from his son, who was in prison, showed similarities to genetic evidence found on some of the victims. A detective posing as a worker in a pizza parlour later collected utensils and crusts from Franklin while he was attending a birthday party. DNA tests connected him to evidence found on several of the bodies. The jury called for the death penalty on all 10 murder counts.

A former rubbish collector convicted of the "Grim Sleeper" serial murders in Los Angeles has been given the death sentence.

The 23-year-old, who spent three years at the Spireites, has penned a two-and-a-half-year deal. The former Ivory Coast Under-20 international made 82 league appearances for Chesterfield, scoring 10 times for the League One side. Meanwhile, first-team coach Kevin Nugent has left the O's after the arrival of Kevin Nolan as player-boss. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Leyton Orient have signed striker Armand Gnanduillet from Chesterfield for an undisclosed fee.

Kendal College already operates an animal rescue and rehabilitation centre within its teaching department. Animal care students can now spend a third year at the University of Cumbria to gain a full degree in British animal management and wildlife rehabilitation. If there are enough applicants, the course could start in September. Students will spend two years at Kendal College, which has an operating theatre, and an intensive care room, as well as a cattery, aviary and hedgehog houses. The third year will be studying at the university's campus in Ambleside, looking at conservation issues. Tutor Sarah Neil said: "The course is one of a kind. There will be a British focus, so it will be animal management, ecology, conservation management and the rescue and rehabilitation of British species."

What is thought to be the UK's first degree-level course solely for caring for and rehabilitating native wildlife is due to launch in Cumbria.

Claudio "Claude" Callegair, 53, from Broxted, Essex, became well-known after regular appearances on an Arsenal fan site. He disappeared on Thursday night. In a statement, Essex Police said the taxi driver was no longer being treated as missing. Mr Callegair frequently appears on ArsenalFan TV, which describes itself as "an online channel for all Gooners". Police said they were "extremely concerned for his welfare" at the time he vanished. The appeal to find Mr Callegair was widely shared on social media, with Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan tweeting to say: "Hope he's ok".

A prominent Arsenal fan who went missing three days ago has made contact with his family, police have said.

Senior ministers are "absolutely furious" about his resignation and departure from government. Some ministers believe the claims in his letter are "just not true because he is well aware that the welfare changes have always clearly been about saving money as well as improving the systems". It's suggested that his central motivation is the EU referendum, and, for others who are supporting him, a strategy to kill off George Osborne's hope of taking over from David Cameron. IDS's team is adamant that his exit is entirely about the handling of PIPs (Personal Independence Payments) and nothing to do with the EU. Whatever the truth, it is very dangerous for a political party to be so publicly divided, and, on a very simple level, for its members to be so angry with each other.

It's not just Iain Duncan Smith who's angry.

The problem is that so many of the initiatives and ideas sold to the country as ground-breaking prove to be business as usual. So the Communities Secretary Sajid Javid went out of his way to sound no-nonsense and tough today. He accused some English councils of "fudging" the numbers on housing need in their area and warned them that he was not going to allow that to happen anymore. But the response to the government's proposals has been decidedly mixed. Labour's shadow housing minister John Healey described them as "feeble beyond belief". "Re-treading old ground" was how the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers described the White Paper. "Kicking the can down the road," one big investment fund said. The chief executive of the housebuilder Inland Homes, Stephen Wicks, bemoaned the failure to relax rules on green belt development. "Brownfield in itself can't possibly sustain the long-term housing requirements of the UK," he said. "It can go an awful long way but there needs to be a relaxation of some green belt to enable us to deliver the numbers that we are required to do." The White Paper does include measures to encourage developers, housing associations and councils to build more affordable homes more quickly, both to rent and to buy. But this government seems to speak with two voices on housing: the communities department wants to shift the balance of power firmly towards new development in places people want to live, but Number 10 and some influential Tory backbenchers are sympathetic to the passionate concerns of those who wish to protect the countryside and particularly the green belt. The real question that lies behind all the rhetoric and policy bullet-points is whether the balance of power between development and local opposition has fundamentally changed. Ministers now accept England needs 250,000 new homes every year, they have described the housing market as "broken" and they agree that radical change is the only way to mend it. But many have yet to be convinced that this White Paper amounts to a "realistic plan" to achieve that.

Over the last three decades, governments of various stripes have promised radical change to solve England's housing crisis and today's White Paper is no exception.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 39-year-old made 121 in the 24-run victory over Yorkshire at Headingley, his 39th limited-overs hundred to go with 61 first-class centuries. Sangakkara, who retired from international cricket in 2015, says he will quit first-class cricket after this season. The left-hander has scored 45,529 runs in all forms of cricket. He brought up his hundred - his eighth of the season in all formats - with a single to third man off Matt Fisher as Surrey posted 313-7. Yorkshire managed 289-9 in reply. Sangakkara has enjoyed a stellar summer in County Championship Division One, averaging 90.60 in six matches. Last month he fell 16 runs short of becoming only the fourth player to make six consecutive first-class centuries. The former Sri Lanka captain is fifth on the all-time list of leading Test run scorers with 12,400 in 134 Tests, and only India legend Sachin Tendulkar has made more than Sangakkara's 14,234 runs in 404 one-day internationals.

Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara scored the 100th century of his career in Surrey's One-Day Cup quarter-final win.

His signing follows the news that the Stags could be without injured striker Alex Fisher for four weeks. Oliver, 23, signed his first professional contract with his hometown club Sheffield Wednesday. He left the Owls in 2012 and made an immediate impact at Lincoln City, scoring 14 goals in 41 matches, before joining Crewe last summer. Oliver could make his debut at York on Saturday.

Forward Vadaine Oliver has joined Mansfield Town on an emergency one-month loan from Crewe Alexandra.

It sparked a major police operation in the town last week before the man was eventually traced in Scunthorpe. The public was warned not to approach the missing Midpark hospital patient and children kept in some schools. NHS Dumfries and Galloway said it would be looking at the circumstances of the incident and aim to "minimise the likelihood" of it being repeated. A statement from the health board confirmed it would be looking into how the patient had been able to abscond. "NHS Dumfries and Galloway have well established processes for undertaking reviews of incidents that occur," it said. "As per these guidelines, a review of the event will be undertaken." However, it said that there had been no immediate changes to operations at the unit. "NHS Dumfries and Galloway have well established standard operating procedures in place that are regularly reviewed in line with national legislation," said the statement. "However, no known changes have been made to the procedures following the event." The health board added that it would make every effort to avoid any similar incidents. "NHS Dumfries and Galloway can give assurance that standard operating procedures are in place and regularly reviewed to comply with national legislation around the treatment offered to patients, while maintaining a person-centred approach," concluded the statement. "The procedures will aim to minimise the likelihood of such an incident re-occurring."

A health board is to carry out a review after a patient absconded from a Dumfries mental health unit.

They say the social affairs minister's actions breached government regulations on tobacco promotion. However, Khofifah Indar Parawansa said she distributed the cigarettes as a goodwill gesture, reports said. Indonesia is estimated to have more than 50 million smokers. It is thought to be the world's fifth-largest tobacco market. High levels of smoking among children in particular have added to concerns about the state of the nation's health. Ms Khofifah is reported to have handed out gifts, including cigarettes, on a recent visit to an under-developed part of central Sumatra. Campaigners have threatened Ms Khofifah with legal action unless she apologises within two weeks. "The social affairs minister was deliberately ignoring public health by distributing free cigarettes," Tulus Abadi, operational manager at the Indonesian Consumers Foundation, was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Globe. The newspaper said the minister was visiting the indigenous tribe to express her condolences for the death of 11 people who had died of starvation. "Whatever the reasoning was, it is incomprehensible that a high official would distribute cigarettes to her own people," Mr Tulus said. "It would have been more becoming if money spent on the cigarettes had instead been used to buy basic necessities or other useful things." But Ms Khofifah is reported to have argued that the free cigarettes were "just a way to get on the good side of the locals". "I don't want to argue but you'd better go there yourself. Greet them and ask them about their culture. Do not see things from a Jakarta-centric perspective," she was quoted by Merdeka.com as saying. The foundation argues that her actions in distributing the cigarettes are "in direct violation" of 2012 government regulations on tobacco control, which disallow free distribution and discounts for tobacco products. The BBC's South Asia editor Jill McGivering says that pictures of the cigarette distribution sparked a heated debate after they began circulating on the internet.

Indonesian anti-smoking groups have threatened to take legal action against a government minister for distributing free packets of cigarettes to members of an indigenous tribe.

The unemployment figures, due out later, are seen as one of the main factors affecting the timing of any rate rise by the US Federal Reserve. US companies are expected to have created 175,000 jobs in June after a disappointing 38,000 in May. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 1.11% to end at 15,106.98, while the Topix index lost 1.3% to 1,209.88. "The Fed is likely to keep its cautious stance. More jobs data will be necessary to ensure that the recovery of the labour market is entrenched," said Cynthia Jane Kalasopatan from Mizuho Bank. "Overall, if non-farm payrolls continue to point to solid job gains in coming months, then the Fed may be comfortable to hike policy rate once this year especially if there is more clarity as regards to Brexit risks." Japan's share market also had to digest weaker-than-expected data, with figures showing Japan's wage growth turned negative in May. Labour cash earnings, a measure of worker pay including bonuses, fell 0.2% from a year earlier. That is the first time the measure has contracted in a year. Estimates were for a 0.5% rise. Japan also reported disappointing trade data. Its current account surplus narrowed to $18bn in May, which was below economist expectations. However, shares in Nintendo jumped nearly 9% on hopes its Pokemon GO smartphone game will prove a success. Other Asian markets also fell on Friday. In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index ended 0.6% weaker at 1,963.10. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index finished 0.7% lower at 20,564.17 while the Shanghai Composite closed down 1% at 2,988.09. Australia's ASX 200 edged up 0.05% to close at 5,230.50.

Japanese stocks ended lower as investors took a cautious approach ahead of the latest US jobs figures.

Ex-soldier Dylan Jones, 37, from Llansawel, who had post-traumatic stress disorder, was awaiting treatment when he died, according to his sister. Amanda Jones believes his life may have been saved had he been treated sooner. A total of 274 men took their own lives in 2015, an increase of 27% compared with 2014, according to ONS figures published in December. The Welsh Government said, while it could not comment on individual cases, mental health treatment, support and prevention services were among its "priorities". Speaking on BBC Radio Cymru's current affairs programme, Manylu, Ms Jones, said her brother had been told in March 2015 he had to wait five months to be treated for PTSD. But four months later the father to twins took his own life. "He suffered with terrible nightmares and insomnia and it affected his everyday life very much," she said. "Dylan did seek help in March 2015 and he was told there was a five months waiting list. "If he had been seen sooner, would he still be with us here today? I think, yes. "I think it's important that men in general know that it's important to be able to talk to someone who can help you about mental health issues." A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Our suicide and self-harm strategy for Wales, Talk to Me 2, focuses on groups of people known to be most vulnerable to suicide. "For veterans, we continue to make £585,000 available each year to fund the Veterans' NHS Wales Service, providing therapeutic interventions from dedicated veteran therapists in each local health board." The spokesman said since its inception in 2010, the service has seen over 1,800 veterans, according to figures up to December 2016. "The expectation for this service is the same as with other mental health services - individual patients, whatever their background, are seen according to clinical need."

A family from Carmarthenshire has called for easier and quicker access to mental health treatment for men.

People with mental illness and psychiatric disorders are excluded too. Last year, the Canadian Supreme Court struck down a law banning doctors from helping someone die. This bill, which is backed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, must now be studied by committee and then voted on by both House and Senate. It seeks to protect "the conscience rights of medical practitioners", said Canadian Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould. Asked why foreigners would be excluded from the new legislation, she refused to answer. "We have considered this question in the context of Canada and Canadians," she said at a press conference. Cases brought on by the families of two deceased British Columbia women spurred last year's decision by the court to strike down the law. The court said outlawing assisted suicide deprives people of dignity and autonomy. Prior to that, counselling, aiding or abetting suicide was illegal in Canada. The Liberal government had four months to come up with a new law, a time period that was extended. Last year Quebec's top court ruled that the province can allow terminally ill patients the right to die with medical help. Currently, assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland, Germany, Albania, Colombia, Japan and in US states Washington, California , Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico and Montana. What different countries say about assisted dying More US states introduced aid-dying legislation last year, but only California's became law.

An assisted suicide bill has been put before Canada's Parliament that legalises euthanasia but will exclude foreigners from coming to die.

Triumphs for Sir Chris Hoy and Laura Trott at the London Velodrome, coupled with success for the dressage team and Alistair Brownlee in the triathlon, took Team GB's tally to 22 golds at London 2012 - ahead of the return of 19 in 2008 with five days of competition still to come. It is now Britain's best medal haul since the 1908 Games, which were also held in London, when the team secured 56 gold medals, although that was far from a modern Olympics, with events such as the tug of war and motor boating contested. Great Britain have also bettered their overall Beijing medal haul of 47 following high jumper Robbie Grabarz's bronze - Team GB's 48th of the Games. They also look certain to add to that tally in the coming days - UK Athletics had set a target of a minimum 48 medals at London 2012. Here, BBC Sport looks back at Britain's best and worst performances at previous Games.

Great Britain achieved their best gold medal haul in an Olympics for more than a century on Tuesday as they surpassed their achievements in Beijing four years ago.

Jack Phipps, 53, was admitted to hospital on 22 June after an incident in Harefields in north Oxford. He died from his injuries on 1 July. Police have carried out a post-mortem examination but are still continuing to establish the cause of death. A 48-year-old man from Oxford arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder is still in custody. Senior investigating officer, Acting Ch Insp Ailsa Kent, of the major crime unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the family of Mr Phipps at what must be a very difficult time for them, and we are offering them support." She said her team were "still investigating the circumstances of this incident" but appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

A man thought to have been murdered in Oxford has been formally identified by police.

Some 22 survivors have so far been pulled from the rubble, and 40 others are feared trapped in the debris. More than 70 workers were in the 11-storey building which was under construction when it toppled in heavy rain late on Saturday. India has seen frequent building collapses, many blamed on lax safety and substandard materials. At least six people, including construction company officials, have been arrested in connection with the collapse in Chennai (Madras), the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu. "It appears they have not adhered to approved plans. The building appears to have serious structural defects," Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said. Hundreds of rescue workers, including personnel from India's National Disaster Response Force, are working with cutters, shovels and other equipment to search for survivors. "Clearing the debris is a huge challenge. This would take almost two to three days and we are hopeful of saving many lives, going by our previous experiences in other places," senior police official SP Selvan told the NDTV news channel. While the cause of the latest collapse is still under investigation, a lack of construction codes, leading to lax safety, is one reason for frequent collapses of buildings and other infrastructure projects in India. There is also a high demand for housing, pushing up costs and forcing less affluent people to risk their lives in decrepit or badly constructed buildings. Earlier on Saturday, a four-storey building came down in the capital Delhi, killing 10 people, including five children. In January, at least 14 people died when a building under construction came crashing down in the western state of Goa. At least 42 people died after a four-storey building collapsed in Mumbai last September.

At least 17 people are now known to have died when a building collapsed in the southern Indian city of Chennai.

Ross, 39, has agreed a deal that runs initially until the summer of 2016. The former St Mirren defender has coaching experience from stints at Dumbarton and Hearts, where he departed in October. Ross will be in the dugout for Saturday's home match against the Buddies. Alloa are bottom of the Championship, three points adrift of Livingston, who they beat 1-0 on Saturday.

Scottish Championship strugglers Alloa Athletic have appointed Jack Ross as their new manager following the resignation of Danny Lennon.

All Bar One has agreed a deal to establish its first presence in the city. It will be the chain's fourth Scottish outlet, with two already in Edinburgh, and one in Glasgow. Marischal Square is expected to open in the summer of next year. Offices and a hotel are being built on the site of the former council headquarters. It is a £107m development. Protestors failed in their bid to get the development halted last March. Councillors voted by 22-21 to continue with the project.

A leading drinks and restaurant chain is to open a bar in the Marischal Square development in Aberdeen.

Photographer Olivia Acland has been documenting the barber shops that line nearly every busy street in Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. Most people will tell you that they have a trusted hairdresser who they visit on a regular basis. Geoffrey, a 29-year old tour guide, said: "Appearance is very important in Sierra Leone, people want to make sure their hair looks good." Barbers also take on the role of counsellors, listening to clients agonise over their love lives or confide in them about family crises. The barber shop provides a safe space for people to sit back and unwind - after all, it's important to feel relaxed as someone takes a knife to your chin or a pair of scissors to your head.

Officers who checked drug containers removed from the courier believed one was missing and carried out a search. Five grams were found in the clothing of the surgeon, who was himself found to be in a state of narcotic intoxication, police say. The suspect told police he would not comment without his lawyer. The unnamed surgeon was arrested in Bogotol, a town of 21,000, about 3,100km (1,930 miles) east of Moscow. He has been charged on two counts: with illegally acquiring and possessing a large quantity of drugs, and stealing a large quantity of drugs. If convicted, he faces a sentence of up to 15 years. In 2009, Russia announced that it had become the world's biggest consumer of heroin. Cheap supplies of the drug enter the country from Afghanistan by land via the former republics of Central Asia or by air. Police video shows the hospital where the alleged crime took place and also the suspect himself in custody. Vladimir Yourchenko, police press secretary for the Krasnoyarsk region, said that the drama had begun when a passenger aboard a train from the city of Krasnoyarsk to Bogotol had become ill. Police had information that the passenger, a national of one of the former Soviet republics, was carrying several containers of heroin in his stomach. Removed from the train, the man was taken to a district hospital where an operation was performed to extract the containers. Police then received information that the surgeon had taken one container for himself, Mr Yourchenko said. He added that the suspect had been investigated for illegal possession of drugs in the past.

Russian police have arrested a surgeon suspected of stealing heroin he removed from the stomach of a drug courier in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.

Caroline Jones, 46, began Knickers Model's Own in memory of her mother Mary Benson who died of breast cancer. The Cancer Research UK (CRUK) shop in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, where she volunteers, has also seen a "noticeable increase in customers and donations". "People are so generous, it's captured the imagination," Ms Jones said. Mary Benson, who volunteered at the Harpenden shop for 13 years, died last October, aged 72. Ms Jones started wearing charity clothes on 1 January and posts a daily picture on social media - she has now increased her fundraising target to £36,500. "Other than her pants" she gets her look from the Harpenden store's "treasure trove" and other CRUK shops around the UK. As well as her daily blog, there have been "numerous" newspaper and radio interviews, an appearance on Loose Women and a part in a documentary with Blur's Alex James. "It's just snowballed, it still amazes me that people are so interested in what I am wearing," she said. "There are people who are just interested in fashion and thinking 'what will she wear today', and there are people with their personal cancer stories - whether they are having treatment or suffering bereavement, they can relate to it," she said. "The third angle is the whole ethical, renewable fashion one. People are really drawn to the campaign because of the message - that you can be fashionable and ethical. "I have got the best wardrobe I've ever had, nothing is missing, except for shoes... it's always a challenge to find good footwear." Ann Jay, who manages the Harpenden shop said the campaign had "really caught the attention of local people". "We've seen a noticeable increase both in the number of customers and donations... we are also witnessing more and more younger customers," she said. "Her unique idea has transformed the way people think about charity shops, really showing off the great value one can get by buying pre-loved items."

A woman who wanted to raise £1,000 for cancer research by wearing charity shop outfits every day for a year has raised more than £11,000 in five months.

Dr Reg Bunting, who died in 2013, was Avon and Somerset Police's chief medical officer between 1990 and 1997. The victim, who wanted to remain anonymous, said the force "fuelled Dr Bunting's fantasies" by doing nothing. The force has since apologised "unreservedly" to those affected. Most of Dr Bunting's victims were new recruits to the force. Following a number of allegations against him between 1981 and 2002, including groping, fondling and reported sexual assault, an independent investigation was commissioned by the force. It found in 44 of the 112 cases looked at, his examinations "fell below a common or acceptable standard for the time" and "woefully or grossly below" in 10 cases. The officer, a frontline policeman for more than 20 years, said he was groped by Dr Bunting during his medical assessment. "I thought this wasn't right, but what do you do?" he said. "He knew that we needed to get through the medical. "He had the power to abuse his position and do what he wanted. I don't think anyone would have complained because it was a hard job to get into." The report identified three opportunities for the force to have intervened after concerns were raised. The victim said: "They were fuelling Dr Bunting's fantasies and feeding him victims. "They gave him carte blanche and missed three chances to prevent crime." Two further victims of Dr Bunting told the BBC they were unhappy at how the force dealt with their complaints. Avon and Somerset Police has since apologised to victims for "failing to ensure acceptable medical conduct during their examinations", and praised the people who had come forward. "Had Dr Bunting been alive, there would have been sufficient evidence to interview him under caution as a criminal suspect," a spokesman said.

A victim of a police doctor, who carried out "grossly" unacceptable examinations, has criticised a force for failing to act on complaints about his behaviour.

Townsend's troops dismantled the English outfit in a 37-10 bonus-point win at Scotstoun in their European Champions Cup Pool 4 opener. And a trip to French side Montpellier is next up for Warriors. "We know how hard it's going to be next week but we've made the best possible start," said the head coach. "I'm really looking forward to going to Montpellier, I played a season out there, and it will be great to go back there as a coach. "I've told the players to turn on the TV tomorrow and watch Toulouse against Montpellier so they can get a picture of what's facing us this weekend. "As coaches we've watched their last few games and they're very similar to Bath in terms of the set-piece - strong line-out drive, strong scrum and some dangerous attackers." Bath opened the scoring against Glasgow, who are second top of the Pro-12 after five wins from six matches. But the Warriors hit back through tries from Mark Bennett, Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour, with Niko Matawalu and Bennett adding further tries. Duncan Weir also added two penalties and three conversions. "We started with real good intent," Townsend added. "We got the detail right - our restarts, exiting, and then when we kept ball we looked dangerous. "It was really our defence in the second half that kept Bath out when they had a lot of pressure, and created a couple of turnovers for our last two tries. "It really was a squad effort, it takes a lot of effort to play the rugby we aspire to play in attack and defence, and when you come up against a team like Bath who will move the ball a lot you need to be fit, you need to be tough. "There were players picking up injuries who were cramping up because of the effort, but then the bench players came on and did fantastic jobs."

Gregor Townsend is relishing Glasgow's date with Montpellier after describing Warriors' win over Bath as their "best team performance of the season".

The full-back has not played for his French club in the 2015-16 season after suffering a serious knee injury in Wales' final World Cup warm-up against Italy in September 2015. "I'm not paying anyone who's not here in June," Boudjellal said. "If anyone leaves in June, wherever they go, they'll have to pay them." The French Top 14 final will be played on 24 June, the eve of Wales' third and final Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin. France are expected to tour Argentina without players involved in the French play-off system, which continues during the international window. World Rugby's article nine states that clubs have to release players during official international periods, with several of Toulon's South Africans also possible absentees. "We'll go to all the tribunals in the world, but anyone who's not playing for us won't be paid by the club," Boudjellal added. "I'm not stopping anyone leaving because there is article nine - but anyone who leaves us before our final match won't be paid by the club." Halfpenny had been scheduled to return in mid-April and was registered in Toulon's European Champions Cup squad. The 27-year-old may be fit by the time of the Wales tour and the French play-offs. "After the episode of the World Cup and the episode of the injuries, the third episode that is about to happen is the [fixture] calendar," warned Boudjellal. "We could find ourselves in June without three or four players at least because they are going to play friendly matches for their federations. "I hope the federations have the intelligence to see that in a World Cup year, they'll say to themselves that the Top 14 is a real competition and you have to respect the clubs who look after the players all year." Boudjellal's comments come as Warren Gatland prepares to name the Wales squad on Tuesday 10 December for the Test against England at Twickenham on 29 May. Toulon lie third in the French Top 14 with three rounds of the regular season still to play.

Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal has suggested Leigh Halfpenny will not be paid by the club if he tours New Zealand with Wales in June.
